Straight weekly gains of more than 3 . The stocks index heading lower given their exposure to china and some of the heightened tensions you have between the u. S. And china. The only one of the major averages in the red. The risk off tone means you are getting a lift up on the long end of the curve, up five basis points. To give us a risk off tone. I want to talk about some of the Economic Data that we saw. To. Manufacturing pmi rose aprilsmay from alltime low. Manufacturing picked up a bit but stayed below 50. For more, i want to bring in our International Correspondent michael mckee. What is some of the manufacturing data this morning telling us about where we are . The basic message is me will not see a recovery. Shaped recovery. The chinese numbers, which came out over the weekend were down a touch. They reopened earlier, so their numbers are higher. Europe is next. Germany is up, italy is down. Here in the united states, some improvement but still below 50. These are basically psychological tests, do you think things will be better this month and last month . While people are suggesting things may be better, they dont see a rapid rebound. To see we are starting some hints of recovery in china before the u. S. That data gives us insight into what our future date and they look like . Mike it may and may not. I hate to sound like an economist with two hands there. Us andference between china, they can order everybody back to work. There was out that nobody to sell the stuff too. But they are keeping the factories open. Here in the u. S. , we may see a slower opening as we wait for parts and customers. It will take a couple months for us to get a read on how quickly the Manufacturing Sector reopens here. Taylor there was a story on the bloomberg today talking about economic crisis facing state and local governments. Withnly are they dealing trying to reopen after the pandemic, but after the weekend, all the news of the protest. How our state and local governments thinking about a reopening as they deal with multiple crises on multiple fronts . Mike we have not heard anybody say they are postponing their real earnings, but some are taking a close look at it. One of the issues with the crowds and protests, they are crowds, and everyone is close together. Some medical experts say this is likely to bring about another spike in cases in those cities where we saw gatherings. If thats the case, governors may be forced to postpone some reopenings. It is also particularly bad timing for the states which are running out of money. They are waiting for a bailout from washington which has not come yet. Now they have the added expenses of police over time, money they have to pay to the National Guard to pay them, the damages being done to their cities. That is money they dont have. It is not a good time for states and cities trying to come out of a lockdown. Taylor we are also getting news casesew yorks new virus 0 for the first time in weeks. Also talking about business is reopening. Target said that they would shut down stores nationally. What are some of the companies saying as they deal with their own concerns about reopening . Mike you can see a list of stores that have closed fully or partially in those hardhit areas. They want to keep things closed down, so they will be closed for a little bit until they can be certain that the protests will not come back and damage their stores again. Again, this happens at a particularly bad time when we are trying to get people to get out and spend, and you have the issue of do i feel safe . Now, not just because of the coronavirus, but also wanting to not be swept up in a protest. At the same time, these closed stores employ people. These people will not be working. Get paychecks, but it all feeds into the problems the u. S. Economy is having this quarter. ,aylor some of those problems as we push forward to job stay on friday, is the difference in unemployment between the White Community and black community, and a community that has been so hardhit why the pandemic. There was a tweet over the weekend, not only are the protests about george floyd, but the struggles of 20 unemployment. What is your analysis showing you, who has been hardest by the pandemic . Mike the pandemic and the riots bring into sharp focus the differences between the populations. You can see unemployment between blacks and whites. You can see how much lower rate is for whites. Even though both spiked, spikedyment for blacks much higher. We have seen the same thing in covid impact. The issue is, what you do about it. The sad thing is, something was being done about it. As the Unemployment Rate began africanamericans, it is sad that that has turned around. If you are at the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum, some of those jobs will take a long time to come back. That is when jay powell was talking about. So now there has to be a concerted effort by governments at all levels to bring back those jobs, decrease inequality, which does not seem to be getting any better in the united states. Taylor our thank you as always to mike mckee. Russia is prepared to provide hospitals with its first anticovid19 drug registered by the ministry of health. We will discuss this with the ceo of a Russian Direct Investment Fund. This is bloomberg. Mark im Mark Crumpton with bloomberg first word news. , and demanded tougher crackdowns on burning and night byafter another the protests in dozens of american cities. Mr. Trump spoke to governors on a video teleconference that also included Law Enforcement and National Security officials, telling the states that they have to get much tougher. Quoting most of you are weak, you have to arrest people. The president urged them for using the National Guard, which he credited. We are seeing a coasttocoast outpouring of rage in the Police Killings of africanamericans. There have been six Straight Days of unrest. It began last week in minneapolis when george floyd died in police custody. Since then, there have been protest from new york to los angeles. There has also been looting and burning. The National Guard has been called out in more than two dozen states. Putinn president vladimir set a july 1 date on a vote for constitutional amendments that would allow him to extend his rule until 2036. During a videoconference, he argued russia would have 30 days before the vote to control the outbreak to ensure the referendum is fully safe. The 67yearold has been in power since 2000, longer than any other ruler since soviet dictator josef stalin. Global news 24 hours a day, onair, and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. Im Mark Crumpton. This is bloomberg. Taylor i want to stick with russia because they are prepared to provide hospitals with a coronavirus a drug. The treatment was developed with the backing of the Russian Direct Investment Fund after gaining initial approval from the health ministry. This all comes as countries across the globe race to find safe and effective treatment for covid19. Kirill dmitriev, the ceo of the russian investment fund, joins us now. Talk to me about the effectiveness of this drug developed with the backing of the sovereign wealth fund. You are looking to ship it out to hospitals in weeks. What does the data show you about how effective this could be . Kirill we believe it is one of the first effective drugs, the first antiviral against covid in russia. It is only one of two drugs that work against covid in the world. From ninegets reduced days to four days when people are using this drug. You also have 65 of the people that have no virus up to four da ys. We have lots of positive results from this generic version, which was originally a japanese medication for the flu, but we also made some changes to the medication, doses, and proved for the first time in the world that this modified drug works very well in not allowing covid to replicate within human cells. Taylor do you think it will be more effective than some of the rivals out there . Im thinking of gileads remdesivir. Kirill there is enough of a problem out there for all of the treatments that work. It is not really a competition. They showed some modest improvement. Our drug also helps moderate cases but we see substantial improvement in our patients. It can also be taken with tablets, versus injection with remdesivir. But again, the world needs all possible treatments. One of the problems, there was no antiviral against covid. So its a great improvement that we have this drug that has been proven to work well. Scientist Taylor Taylor i am not a scientist, so walk me through something to make sure i understand correctly. It was used in clinics before the third stage Clinical Trial. Case, what are you accepting from the third stage Clinical Trial . Arill we are working with different dosage, but to make it simple, this was a japanese drug that worked well against the flu in japan. But there was the question, covid . Work well against with some modifications, we have shown that it does work well against covid. In our Clinical Trials, we show that the people on our drugs are doing twice as better as those in the control group. It will be shipped, 60,000 doses , to russian hospitals this month. We are producing 60,000 doses every month. We have interest from other nations to start trial of this drug. By the way, that original japanese drug is having some Clinical Trials in other countries. Taylor it is interesting that earlier this morning we got data from gilead. A few weeks ago, some of the studies looked very promising. This morning, they came out and said it only showed a limited benefit in a large trial of moderate patients, not showing as much of an improvement as they wanted. Are you similarly worried about a setback as well . We are open to having other countries test the substance, but the results we have shown so far are very clear. Yes, we are monitoring what will happen with the next several trials, but we are hopeful. A drug that we know how it works, it has known situations where you cannot take the drug, if you are pregnant, planning a family, you cannot take it for three months, but we understand the mechanism of the working of the drug. Of course, we could have some surprises, but so far, so good. Taylor at the end, this all comes down to the health and safety and economics that all of these countries have been dealing with as we face this pandemic. Came out earlier and said he wanted to invite russia back given that you have also been affected by the pandemic. Are you open to that, being a part of some of the meetings of the g7 . Kirill there was a call between president clinton and president tin and President Trump and they discussed many situations. Powerful group, can address things in a more substantial way. Extending g7 to some additional countries we believe makes sense, but it is up to them to make the decision. We believe the coronavirus epidemic shows Different Countries need to work together. We are willing to share information about our drugs, vaccines, testing systems. It is time to put political differences aside, improve the relations between u. S. And russia and many other nations. Things putrus things into perspective. Taylor are you open to some of the production costs, as we look at the impact that the virus has prices, how are relations with saudi arabia going, what kind of cuts are you open to . Kirill the relationship is very solid, we are happy with the oil deal that was struck with the help of the united states. United states and saudi arabia had a positive set of discussions. We already see an improvement of oil prices. 35. We are very hopeful of the alliance. Opec is committed to the deal. We see High Compliance numbers. We believe the oil price will be in good shape. We dont expect a major decline in oil prices even though the economy needs time to recover. We often looky, at the ruble, some thoughts that tourism is not happening as people are not traveling globally. If tors and picks up domestically within russia, how do you see that impacting the ruble . Kirill the ruble was impacted quite a bit with the price of oil but it has regained almost all of the losses, where it was almost three months ago. We will see what happens to oil prices. Definitely, the russian economy is starting to resume. Of course, we have different waves of the virus, but we hope that the ruble will be stable. Taylor our thanks to kirill dmitriev, ceo of the Russian Direct Investment Fund. As major cities across the u. S. Begin to reopen, government officials and Public Health experts are pushing to recruit thousands of contact tracers. More on those efforts with emily gurley of Johns Hopkins school of Public Health. This is bloomberg. Johns hopkins have seen relative success with its free on line Contact Tracing course come along three weeks ago with a mission to train thousands of volunteers for new york state. Roughly 250,000 people have registered. This as new york city looks to begin to reopen on june 8. Joining us now is the courses leading instructor, emily gurley of a Johns Hopkins school of Public Health. Explain to us why you think Contact Tracing is the best way to give us an idea of how comfortable we are as we begin to reopen the economy. Emily thank you for having me to talk about this. Contact tracing is a process where the Health Department gets in touch with people who have covid19,itive for and people they have had contact with, to let them know that they have been exposed. Both of these groups of people could pass on the infection to someone else. Its all about letting people onwardw to prevent transmission to other people, making sure people know they have been exposed, so they can take steps to stop transmission within their communities and families. Taylor what if there is not a Critical Mass of people that sign up for this . Is that the only way that this works . Emily Contact Tracing is not something that you sign up for. Anyone who has a positive test for covid19 will get a call from the Health Department to make sure they know how to keep from infecting other people. They will also be asked about who they had contact with who may have also become infected you will be getting a call if you test positive. The question maybe you are asking is what if people do not want to disclose who their contacts are, or dont want to talk with the help department Health Department . That could happen but most people want to let others know. Many in our community are at high risk for severe disease and death from this infection. I know that no one would want to knowingly infect somebody else. This is our best way of notifying people so that they can be sure to not infect their loved ones. Taylor what has the early data showing you about maybe what Small Businesses are saying about Contact Tracing, they feel this is the best way to keep their employees safe. What are you dream from businesses and leaders on the hearing from businesses and leaders on the ground . Cant say that ive been in touch with many businesses, per se, but businesses are concerned about the health of their employees, and they also want to promote confidence with their patrons, customers. They need to be thinking about how they can do both of those things. Contact tracing is not the only way to do that, but it plays an important part. F you are a business owner, someone managing a business, you want to make sure that your employees stay safe. Its important to know, if someone is infected, to realize that they should stay home. You need to think about your policies and what you are encouraging people to do the right thing, so that your workplace does not become a site of transmission. Taylor we will have to leave it there. Our thanks to emily gurley of the Johns Hopkins school of Public Health. Byt school is supported Michael Bloomberg and bloomberg philanthropies. Coming up, we are taking a look at the global economy.

Global news 24 hours a day, onair, and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. Im Mark Crumpton. This is bloomberg. Amanda im amanda lang in toronto. Welcome to bloomberg markets. Taylor im taylor riggs in new york. We are joined by our bloomberg and Bnn Bloomberg audiences. Here are the top stories we are following from around the world. Ism suggests the worst is over for manufacturing. The survey coming in as expected well below 50, but suggests a pickup ahead as lockdowns ease. Spacexs historic launch. We speak to one investor who calls the launch a monumental moment, and discusses the opportunity in the 350 billion space economy. Gileads drug shows a small benefit. Shares are dropping after showing only a modest improvement compared to those getting standard care. It may well be that ism data that is keeping that risk on data alive in the markets. A lot of positive markets, and it is pretty broadbased. Most subgroups are moving higher today. Banks are leading the way, real estate is strong today. Tech is holding its own. Interesting to see small caps outperforming again today. Up off ofl 2000, 42 march lows. Small caps continuing to outperform megacaps, but we are seeing some big moves across the megacaps space as well. Part of that may be the gradually reopening of the economy. Consumer data showing that while consumers are not spending yet, they have money to do so. And it is in spite of the causing, which is problems for many businesses. I want to bring an frances donald, global chief economist at menu life asset management. The important part of figure me out if we have hit the bottom, when you look at the ism, where does that tell you about where we might be . Ism used to be one of our best leading indicators that would tell us what would happen with the stock market, but now this leading indicator is actually lagging. We have turned our attention to High Frequency data, petroleum consumption, park traffic. All of that told us the economy bottomed in april. Todays ism number is confirming what our data points told us. Will be incrementally better than april but still below than before. Index, 32. 1, well below 50. Only a handful of times going back in time the 1940s that its been this low. An improvement on headlines, but are people getting their jobs back in droves in may . No. That should be a concern to all of us. Taylor in the short term, we are seeing some disinflationary forces. But in the long term, we will start to see inflation. Do you agree with that . Frances i would agree with that, and so does the shape of the yield curve. We are seeing some reexamination. We expect those disinflationary forces to hold until next year. Next three,over the five years, we have to talk about inflation coming back online. The question is how much. In my mind, we still have forces, disinflationary digitalization, painful demographics, but we all has we also have globalization and substantial government stimulus coming through. The argument that i dont like to use is monetary policy. , do we seefocus on globalization and prices rising as a result . We will see these economies bounceback as we see heavy coverlet stimulus. It will help to steepen the curve at the long end. Taylor in your note, interestingly, you talk about yield control, effective yield control. What do you mean by effective yield control . Woke up from a coma today and i look at a chart , i would have told you that the fed was engaged. It has barely budged. The Federal Reserve does not stop talking about yield curve control. If you are a rate trader and you want to make a bet for rates to go higher, you know as soon as we see a spike at the front end, the fed will be implementing yield control. Even by talking about it, you have some control. They dont have to move forward with yield control. The longer end of the curve is more difficult, more difficult to contain, and that is why we see that long end beginning to steepen, even while their talk and guidance can keep the front end maintained. About the unrest we have seen across the u. S. In various cities, we obviously hope this will not be protracted. But there is some damage done. Whether you begin to count that into another cost cities will have to bear . Frances absolutely. It matters to municipal, private investment. I have a list of what are the upside risks that the market has priced . I cannot come up with much. What are the Downside Risks that the market has yet to price. A lot of the social and political unrest domestically and abroad is on that list of headwinds we need to be factoring in. Every day that goes by we need to start adjusting our forecast for what the rebound looks like, do we need to factor in a second wave of covid19, a confidence problem in our outlook . We know that it will have to factor into every economist who is calculating gdp. Each day that it prolongs has more of an impact on it. It goes into the list of things that you have to monitor closely and lengthens the list of headwinds going into this economy instead of supporting those tailwinds that we would hope to see. Taylor where do u. S. China trade tensions rank on your list, namely news over the weekend, that they have halted the purchase of some Agricultural Products . Frances very high on the list of concerns. Iran,st u. S. China but brexit, a long list of geopolitical risks. We can look at what the market is focusing on, news flow. This is not a topic on the top of our list, but it did not disappear even as covid19 read accelerated. What im concerned about is not just a shortterm growth, but the further accelerates on the trend. Zation it will detract from growth, productivity. It will be inflationary. Even though this may be a slow burn in the background, it should change the way economists run their models, and should impact the way that we think about longterm investment. , thank you for that insight. Coming up, mission accomplished. We speak to Bessemer Venture Partners tess hatch about this weekends launch with spacex. 3, 2, 1, 0. Ignition, lift off. It finally happened, after 18 years, after multiple launches with commercial satellites, restocking supplies for the International Space station, and even a test flight, spacex has finally sent two astronauts is. A flight that hit speeds of 17,000 miles per hour. The two astronauts docked at the International Space station the next day, embracing their new roommates, marking the start of a new era of humans traveling to the final frontier. This is the beginning of a golden age of spaceflight. We can use the same rockets, spacecraft. Ordinary citizens could be hitching interstellar rides with the lights of spacex, or blue origin, or virgin galactic, or boeing, who is working on her star liner. Six years ago, nasa kicked off a new space race, warning 3. 1 billion to spacex, and 4. 1 billion to boeing in the hopes of getting humans back to this point of space travel, hoping to end americas reliance on soyuzs so use rockets rockets. Is is a huge milestone but there will be milestones after this. Spacex has been working on other things. There are a lot of exciting things to come. A milestone that may help to fulfill elon musks original vision of spacex, turning the human race into a space faring race. Taylor for more on that launch, we are joined by Bessemer Venture Partners Vice President tess hatch. On thecus commercialization of space, drones, autonomous vehicles, and the future of agriculture and technology. A lot to digest there. Give me your thoughts on the significance of what we saw saturday with spacex, what it means for the company, and more broadly, when this means for the future of public and private endeavors. Tess thank you for having me. This is such a monumental moment. It is the first time we are annching americans on americanmade private rocket from american soil since 2011. During the past decade, we have been depending on the russians launch vehicle, and this proves a very successful private Public Partnership between nasa and spacex. This partnership has already proved successful since spacex has delivered 20 resupply missions to the International Supply station, but this mission was especially important since it was the first time that astronauts, rather than cargo, were on board. Doug and astronauts bob are safely aboard the International Space station, where they will be until spacex sends another. It is a very small piece of the overall space economy. Sending people, either astronauts or tourists to space, is only 2 of the overall 350 billion market. A launch like this will hopefully catalyze the other parts of the market, such as satellites, manufacturing, earth observation even further and continue to lower the barrier to space. Space is open for business. One of the questions i would have is we know there are benefits. Historically, when we see the u. S. Investing in space, going back to jfk, the terrestrial benefits have been enormous. A lot of modernday technologies from out of those programs. Are the spinoff benefits those, or is it literally mining in space, those industries that we , because weunearth are now in space . Tess while there are applications in space, for space, there are thousands of applications that were developed through space at exploration that are being used back on earth. Mri and Xray Technology was further developed on the apollo missions. We were able to take pictures of the lunar surface. That Optics Technology is being used every day to save lives. Ado believe we need to be multiplanet species in order to survive, but not to give up on earth. So it helps to solve the problems we currently have on earth. Taylor how realistic is commercial space travel in the coming decades . I imagine a future where we travel to space with a frequency that we currently travel in aircraft. It is mostlymoment astronauts, there are a handful of companies that are working on lowering access for most of the population. However, again, it is a really small part of the market. There are so many others, such as satellites, putting various sensors in space, communicating with the earth, taking photos of the earth. My company has invested in a company with three unique sensors. A sensor for maritime tracking, monitoring,or for and a gps station for weather monitoring and production. The ability of these satellites in space to help earth is up to magination. Rs i amanda which gets me into what other investors should be thinking about when it comes to investing in this future. What is the best way to go about it . I am incredibly excited and would love to partner with entrepreneurs and companies that are putting unique and different sensors in space. After the invention of the cubesat, exponentially decreasing the size and power of offtheshelf sensors, you could put the small sensors on a satellite and put it in space. Significant, before, the only way to put an asset into space was a massive schoolbussized satellite that would take decades and millions of dollars to make. This significantly decreases the time and cost. Im incredibly interested in investing in companies that are coming up with unique sensors to utilize on this cubesat. Taylor you have also done work on through technology. When we think about where we are in this pandemic, there is more transparency between the supply chains, food sourcing. What do you think about food, Agriculture Technology as we become more and more worried to human viruses and the transmission of viruses that you are seeing . Is fabulous for all of those reasons you mention. Having an alternative source mimics they taste and the product but is made by plants, or there are companies that are growing the cellularbased meat. Not only is this an option but is a safe and controlled way for people to consume the foods they are used to consuming, but from something other than an animal. Amanda i want to finish on a bit of a personal note. I understand one of your life goals is to walk on the moon. Do you feel as if you got a little bit closer with this launch . Tess i really do. Someday,ravel to space whether in a private or public station in lowearth orbit, whether on moon or mars absolutely. I believe saturday was one step closer to many more to come. I am incredibly excited about the future of space exploration. We thank you for sharing that with us today, tess hatch, Bessemer Venture Partners Vice President. Ahead, shares of gilead are under pressure today. There is some disappointment about its potential treatment for covid19. We will take a closer look after this. Amanda live from toronto, im amanda lang. We are watching shares of gilead sliding as phase three trials of remdesivir proved to be disappointing for those who had hoped for more solid results. Robert is with us from bloomberg news. Today. Res are reacting did they overreact on the upside when remdesivir was introduced as a treatment couple weeks ago . That is absolutely a fair question. A lot of these Companies Developing treatments and hadines for covid19 have high share volatility and often some big share spikes on unproven investor hopes that there will be a big financial payoffs developing a vaccine for covid19 but we have no idea the finances of any of these drugs are vaccines will look like. The gilead drug was always a first attempt, first shot, not at a drug, but there are some drawbacks, has to be administered every few days. Even if the drug is going to be used, it will be limited by that. Today, this was a new trial that looked at the drug in patients with moderate disease. It found modest effects of the drug. Some of the fx market using, so investors are disappointed in that. Give us a portrait of how dramatic or not dramatic these results were. Trials the previous focused more on severe patients, those that needed oxygen or ventilators. This study was focused on people with more moderate signs of the disease. They were hospitalized, had pneumonia, but didnt need oxygen. Found, 66 oft it people on standard therapy improved after 11 days. Remdesivir, that got it up to 76 of people improve. Confusingly, they also gave it for a full 10 days. Only 70 gotents, better. You usually like to see people getting the therapy for longer, you should see better results, but that did not happen. It seemed to indicate overall a modest benefit but nothing spectacular, does not do anything to suggest this will be a Financial Success going forward. We are seeing that reflected in the stock today. Robert langreth, thank you for that. Is a down stock in what is otherwise a reasonably positive market today. A quick check on those markets as they move higher. Perhaps that manufacturing data signaling a bottom to the u. S. Economy. We will continue to watch it. From toronto, this is bloomberg. [ sigh ] not gonna happen. Thats it. Im calling kohler about their walkin bath. My name is ken. How may i help you . Hi, im calling about kohlers walkin bath. Excellent happy to help. Huh .
