M. In new york, 6 00 p. M. In london, and 1 00 a. M. In hong kong. Im vonnie quinn. Welcome to bloomberg markets. Here are the top stories we are following on the bloomberg and from around the world. As Mark Crumpton mentioned, a possible do or die phone call between nancy pelosi and secretary mnuchin set for 3 00 p. M. New york time. The speakers has a bill for a compromised stimulus package is being written, and she is optimistic. Antitrustignificant action against an American Company in more than two decades and possibly a century. We will have the details. The fate of hotels and other reits with rmr Group President adam portnoy. Lets get a quick check on the markets. Equity indices have been rising. We have a 1 gain on the s p 500. The nasdaq up. 9 . Crude back in the green. Lower thanittle bit where it was earlier in the session. Today is make or break day for nancy pelosi and stimulus negotiations with Stephen Mnuchin. Lets get to our congressional reporter billy house. I know you were listening to the interview with the house speaker. It sounded like she wants to get this done and there is no game playing anymore. Is that how you read it . Billy that is how i heard it. She is actually turning optimistic that they are on a path to a deal but says language still needs to be put on paper, and she needs it done by the end of the week to pass next week. There are still a couple hurdles , differenceslity with Senate Republicans, but overall, she appeared very optimistic that they were trending toward getting something written perhaps tomorrow or thursday. Vonnie she said that her side ing language right now and hopefully that can be done by 3 00. Is she no longer concerned about a potential bomb for republicans or President Trump . As she usually does, she talks about values. I heard none of that in this interview. Intensity of an it may not get done by election day, but that is my aim. I wanted it done by next friday. People have to pay their rent. That seems to be more of the tone of the discussion, we have to get this done. An agreement get between democrats and the administration, that still leaves the senate and Mitch Mcconnell. Does he plan on voting on a skinny bill . Is planning now, he on voting on that separate, much. Maller bill pelosi said there are mixed signals coming from their contacts and discussions with the senate. Of course, she reminded that the president said that he would lean on the senate. Where all of that stance, i dont know. You are right, it is not just getting a deal, but a deal that Senate Republicans will go along with. Vonnie we have seen a bump in the markets. More stimulus immediately is not fully priced in yet. What would be the next step . Would Mitch Mcconnell have that boat and then immediately go back to discussions . Sideon the administration of things, is speaking with senator mcconnell . We understand mnuchin is. The president said he would be. Those talks that have happened already, i dont know. Below see said that they would wouldosi said that they try to get everything down on paper by thursday of next week, call members back over the weekend or next week to vote on it, and then handed over to the senate, who can do something on this bill. Tonie is it too jaded suggest that it would be nice for the sitting president to have something to talk about at the debate on thursday . Billy [laughter] out of think that iis the realm of the thinking. Certainly in his mind. Vonnie billy, it looks like we may be looking at Something Like 2 trillion, which is more than what republicans were ever willing to give. Not that much less than what democrats were looking for. Is it all coming in in the right parcels . Billy that is why we are waiting for the bill text. The did try to iron out wrinkles with compromises on both sides. Pelosi mentioned in the interview that may be the liability shield demand that mcconnell has could be worked out, if they dont conflict with osha standards that the House Democrats want. How that is written out is the key. Always fornk you as translating everything on capitol hill for us. Billy house is our congressional reporter. Monaco of julie citigroup. We will get the inside story on how companies are fueling up their Capital Markets to battle the economic effects of the pandemic. This is bloomberg. Vonnie this is bloomberg markets. Countries around the world struggling under the weight of the covid19 pandemic, and they are trying to figure out how to pay for it all. Sonali basakw is and julie monaco of citigroup. Thank you for joining us. Covid has change the calculus for so many countries around the world. How has it changed your job . Julie it has not really changed that much. I continue to spend time with my clients, thinking about how they are going to finance their development goals, achieve their economic goals, but how it has changed is obviously there is an intensity in terms of what is going on. , wee march of this year have had governments announce 11 trillion in fiscal stimulus. Sovereign debt is up 31 . We have seen government deficits grow. As governments are more challenged, obviously, we are having more dialogue with them about the fiscal spending, how they are fighting the pandemic and preparing for growth out of the pandemic. Certainly, how they pay for it all. Vonnie how they pay has two meanings. Where do they get the ability to pay for it all, but also literally, the process by which they pay for it. A lot of conversations among central bankers about digitization. Maybe some countries are adopting crypto to pay for things. Have you been having conversations with governments on this . Cryptocurrencies, we have had conversations, a lot of conversations about Central Bank Digital currencies, and a dialogue around that topic has increased since the crisis started. Out inson is, we found march and april, when the economy was shut down, people were not using physical currency. There was a realization there could be an efficiency and benefit of getting rid of the informal economy, d materialized in money. Dialogueis much more around Digital Currency and the benefit for digital currencies. Bankfically central digital currencies. That is one area of discussion. I think they look at efficiency, Financial Inclusion, bringing the Informal Sector into the formal economy. Certainly, governments have an objective of wanting to do that, to get rid of the informal economy. The more the economy goes digital, it has been shown, if you can get rid of physical currency, that it is hundreds of billions of dollars of increased tax revenue and reduced cost for government. Legions ofre are entrepreneurs who are willing to jump on that thought that you have proposed. What is the major hurdle for governments when adopting Digital Currency . A lot of it is in the exploration stage right now in terms of Central Bank Digital currency. A lot of governments are looking at it, but the obstacles are, you dont want to dis intermediate the Banking System. We had a Banking System built on Central Banks, so we need to figure out, if you are going to completelyize and go electronic, how do you build that on the foundation of central bank principles, and Work Together with fin tech and commercial banks to make that work . Vonnie is it a little bit of a land grab . If this was to happen, wouldnt you want citi to be at the forefront of it for as many countries as possible . How does that competition work . Julie this is not really the major focus right now. There are so many other problems that sovereigns are trying to solve right now. As it relates to Digital Currency, it is evolving. Right now, there is still confusion in the market about the difference between Central Banks afforded Digital Currency and dematerializing money versus a cryptocurrency. It is something that is a balding. Evolving. China is the farthest along in terms of Digital Currency. It is still being evaluated in the u. S. And other places. I think there will be a benefit, and the benefit needs to be focused on the objective you are trying to achieve. The objective is to be able to andide Financial Inclusion help Financial Inclusion and de materialize money in a way that is more efficient for government and society. There continues to be obstacles, but like i said, there are so many other things. When we talk about this year and the crisis, there is a lot more focus on other areas. Talk about those other areas, now that we are months in the pandemic, we have seen spending increase. How are the harder hit countries dealing with this next wave of the pandemic, shoring up the money they need for their populations . About thealked landscape of the sovereign debt issuance, up 31 . All of the fiscal and monetary actions taken in march created an environment where governments and sovereigns around the world were able to go to the Capital Markets and raise funding. That continues. Obviously, for sovereigns that dont have the fiscal space, dont have access to the markets, that is where there has been a lot of focus around official Community Support forbearance, preparing for further debt sustainability challenges into next year. When we talk about how countries are coming out of this, it is different country by country. It will be asymmetric in terms of how the recovery works, just like industry to industry. It all depends on where they were going into the crisis, the depth of the Health Care Crisis in their individual country, whether or not they have it under control. We can all agree the real economic recovery cannot begin until the Health Crisis is managed in each country. That continues to be the number one priority for my clients, to control. Under and it is unpredictable. We dont know when the next wave will be. At the same time, how do you think thered i needs to be a coordinated Global Response to monetary and fiscal policy has allowed us to stabilize things and not have a liquidity crisis. When you think about what governments are doing now, they are focusing on fiscal spending that will drive growth. Last question. So many Infrastructure Projects will be left behind as we focus on this crisis. Julie actually, what we have seen from this crisis, governments, as we are coming out of their budgets, rolling them out now, they are focusing more of that fiscal spending on productive fiscal spending. When i say that come its about supporting job growth. The eu social bond, and it was all about supporting programs. We are seeing is there is a lot of focus on esg. That aligns that fiscal spending toward sustainable growth. I think be see more investment in infrastructure. That will be highly around technology infrastructure. One of the things the crisis exposed is a technology divide. Vonnie fabulous conversation. Julie monaco, global head of the Public Sector at citigroup, and our own sonali basha. Basik. This is bloomberg. Vonnie this is bloomberg markets. Vonnie quinn. The rmr Group Oversees over 1800 leases, close to 92 million square feet of commercial to medical offices, retail, and more. Since we last spoke with adam portnoy, more hotels have stopped paying rent and it is causing a shift in their portfolio. Lets get an update now. There was a little bit of a wrench problem the last time we spoke but it is holding up. Now you have broken with some brands because the rent problem is not going away. Talk about how your portfolio is adjusting. Adam great to be with you again. Right, wecap, you are are a large, diversified asset manager with commercial real estate all over the United States. That sets us apart from any of our peers. We have properties in every state. Veryallows us to have a diverse portfolio. Within our hotels, you are right, we have had some longstanding partnerships unfortunately, part. Groups, marriott, intercontinental groups, have decided to default on their agreements with us. Situations, a lot of our competitors would be in a bind about what to do and taking back such large portfolios of property. Again, given our diversity and scale of our organization, we feel confident about our ability to take back those hotels. Vonnie lets talk about what is actually happening. You are taking back some of the hotels and you are rebranding them. Some of them are going away. You are deciding what to do with the rest of your hotels. You are actually positive on this. You would think if those agreement were going away, it would be a problem. Adam generally it would be, but a lot is changing in the hotel industry. We think this is a great opportunity for us because it gives us a tremendous amount of flexibility. We are going to take back over 200 hotels. Not all of them will stay hotels. Given our ability to reposition our assets, that sets us apart. We will be able to turn some of those hotels into multi family, we will sell some of them, but from an opportunistic standpoint , we are going to be able to rebrand many of those hotels as i am highlyls, and confident that they will perform as well or not better as they were as marriott or intercontinental hotels. Vonnie Service Properties trust , the one that owns the hotels, is down 70 this year, so a tough reit. I am curious how you are managing to work with more difficult parts of your company, including senior assisted living. Adam it is very interesting. One of the advantages of having a broad platform, we touch all kinds of commercial real estate. Hotels are not doing well in these times. Senior living is not doing nearly as bad as hotels but they have occupancy challenges. It is hard to admit New Residence in this environment. But other parts of the portfolio are doing well. 00 we have a large000000000 000000000000000000000000 there are different parts of the portfolio. Some are doing well, some are struggling. Expanding inre nashville, which i find interesting. It is an urban center, we know financial jobs moved to nashville and other places like that, but why would you be developing an urban centric area, a people centric area . Bank that is on the east in nashville, an upandcoming area. We own about 20 acres. That gives us the ability to be very opportunistic, think long term about that site. Today, that site is currently operating as a truck stop. But the land and the area around it has really changed over the last 20 years. It is an Incredible Opportunity to do mixeduse development. That will be a longterm project. We are putting the first stakes in the ground today, trying to get some approvals through the Planning Committee in nashville. So far, its gone quite well. We think thats a project that veryfew years could be rewarding for us as an organization. Given the size and the breath of the organization, we are able to take some of our assets, such as these travel centers, this truck stop, and reposition the property into a better use. Portnoy, rmr Group President and ceo. So youre a small business, or a big one. You were thriving, but then. Oh. Ah. Okay. Plan, pivot. How do you bounce back . You dont, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. Powered by the largest gig Speed Network in america. But is it secure . Sure its secure. And even if the power goes down, your connection doesnt. So how do i do this . You dont do this. We do this, together. Bounce forward, with comcast business.

Xpires the agreement was signed in 2010 by then president barack obama and then russian president dmitry medvedev. 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 live toronto, im amanda lang. Welcome to bloomberg markets. Vonnie im vonnie quinn 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. The department of justice files a lawsuit against google, accusing it of using monopoly power. We will discuss with the action means for big tech and the competition. Lights, camera, earnings. Netflix reports after the bell. We will preview the numbers and whether a pandemic fueled boom is over for the company. And the future of work. We will speak to tiffani bova of salesforce about the companys new network of employers around the globe and what they want to see in a post covid19 world. We do have markets in positive territory today. For the s p 500, every subgroup is moving higher. Not massive momentum but we are seeing some cherry picking around earnings news. Ibm falling as it reports its revenue, this appointing. Financials and industrials are leaving the market higher. Energy holding its own. You are seeing a bit of a pickup to the upside as the day goes on. Still waiting for confirmation on any movement of a stimulus bill. Has been drafted, still needs a phone call between nancy pelosi and Stephen Mnuchin to get it across the line. The imposed deadline to get it done before november 3. One of the big stories for tech today that doesnt seem to be having an impression on the stock, one of the largest antitrust actions against an American Company in decades, alphabets google being taken on by the department of justice, accusing it has abused its monopoly search to harm consumers. We spoke to the former policy director at the ftc who said this kind of case may be a tough one to prove. They will have to demonstrate in fairly concrete fashion how consumers are either paying more or suffering from less choice or innovation. Lens on try to turn the its head and change antitrust law, but that is really the job of congress, not of a government agency. Technologysberg emily chang now. This is kind of a slowmoving situation for google. Lets start with the importance of this to alphabet today. What is your take . Slowmovings been a situation, weve expecting the case to be filed for a month. It is pretty significant. This is the most significant antitrust action in the United States against a big u. S. Theany since microsoft in 1990s, certainly the most significant case google has faced in its history. The Justice Department accusing google of having an unfair advantage in search, advertising. Jeffrey rosen at the doj saying the conduct is illegal under traditional antitrust principles and must be stopped. Of course, google has a team of highpowered lawyers who are pushing back in an extensive blog post today. Their top legal officer said todays lawsuit is deeply flawed. People use google because they choose to, not because they are forced to, or because they cannot find alternatives. The lawsuit would do nothing to help consumers to the contrary and what prop up lower quality search alternatives and arrays prices, and make it harder for people to get Search Services they want to use. To the point made by or earlier guest, yes, this could be a hard case to prove. Google ours you argues there are plenty of other apps out there to download. It is easy for others to soar in growth just because they are not preloaded. But the deals in question are google paying apple to be the default in the safari browser, on iphones. Google services being the default on android smartphones, which is the largest mobile operating system in the world. There are certainly big arguments on both sides. This will take years on a we expect, to play out in court. Vonnie how much will google be able to use the defense that it has already put up for europe . It had to face this in europe, and they are a lot further ahead. Absolutely, google has been tough on europe in the past few years, google has had to pay huge fines in europe, and has had to modify some of their business practices. That said, what they are facing in the u. S. Could be incredibly wideranging. 11 states have signed on to this particular suit. We believe other states are preparing to file separate suits as well. This is on top of the u. S. House dropping that massive report in which it accused google of neutralizing its search rivals, laid out an argument for a possible breakup of big tech in general, and google in particular. This is certainly something that google does not want have want to have to deal with right now. We are expecting it could take at least a year to get to trial, there could be a presettlement before hand, but from my understanding, google is confident that consumers have not been harmed here, that they have an infinite number of choices. The big question, then why pay for these exclusive search deals if it is so easy to get in front of consumers no matter what . Vonnie thank you, emily chang. A programming note, on Bloomberg Technology later today, you will hear her interview with googles director of economic policy. That is at 5 00 new york time on bloomberg television. Coming up, nearing the end of the binging boom. Whether netflix can sustain momentum in the pandemic. This is bloomberg. Vonnie this is bloomberg markets. Im vonnie quinn in new york. Since the pandemic got a grip on the United States, netflix has soared, one of the few companies to benefit from the lockdown and the lack of tv content had viewers binging for hours, but is that boom sustainable . Joining us now is Ark Investment Management analyst nick grous. Netflix has been one of the platform that has managed to continue to give us content through this whole thing, but can it continue to add subscribers . You for having me on. You nailed this on the head. Going into todays earnings, investors need to realize netflix pulled forward a lot of demand in q1 and q2. 20 million subs were added in those quarters alone. Going into today, you have to temper expectations around subscriber growth. Where we will be focused on is International Expansion, and what netflix gives us in terms of details about that progress. This quarter, they have done a few moves that are going to help not only subscriber growth revenuem but also growth. They entered markets in australia, canada, and russia. Amanda how important is it for netflix to show that subchondral growth can hang on and can demonstrate real Free Cash Flow positivity . Nick we are focused on the subscriber growth portion of this. Will be aflow that longterm project for them as they continue to ramp, work out how they spend on content. What we are really excited about is, International Expansion in terms of subscriber growth because again, netflix is leading the charge in terms of subscription for ondemand, time spent on the services have soared over this past crazy year we have had. Conversely, what we are watching is a new unlock of potential companies customers coming from the linear tv market. 86 million households as of the end of 2019 paying for a linear service. We see that as a new bucket of potentials for netflix and other subscription demand services. Vonnie new markets from india to brazil has the potential for subscriber growth internationally. Where has netflix been able to compete with local content producers to produce new content for those areas . Nick one place to look in terms aware and its has success globally, definitely the europe market, now working over to india. It is important to realize, when you look at the broad scope of streaming services out there, netflix is probably the only one out there that is a global powerhouse. They are producing content at a global level. Shows that are made for markets overseas take off in the u. S. , and vice versa. That is not seen on other streaming services such as hbo max, hulu. The services are very domestically focused. We are excited about netflixs longterm Global Presence in the streaming space. Amanda has netflix been able to successfully raise prices, which it recently did, without causing the uproar of the past . Nick there will always be uproar in terms of pricing. What consumers have to remember is, again, when you look at the other Services Available right now, we estimate netflix has 5500 titles on its platform. If you look at the next two highest services on that scale, roughly hbo max have 2200 titles each. Hulu is 12 a month, addfree. Hbo max is 15. Netflix is about 13. So you are getting twice the content for pretty much the same pricing. Netflix has a ton of Pricing Power going down the line depthe of the breadth and of their content library. Amanda thank you for being with us, and that grass. Still ahead, the future of work. Salesforce has a new survey that gives a frontline view of where we may all be headed. Withll talk about that tiffani bova of salesforce. This is bloomberg. Omberg. Vonnie this is bloomberg markets. Im vonnie quinn in new york. Alongside amanda lang in toronto. Joseph stiglitz wants to rewrite the rules of the market economy. He joined bloomberg tv earlier today calling for more fiscal stimulus to keep u. S. Businesses afloat and to prevent further wage inequality. There are certain sectors of the economy that are badly afflicted. They need assistance. For instance, i am and one of those Committee Education sent there sector, research sector. They will be vital to the countrys future. We areet those weaken, going to have a weak economy now, but an even weaker economy in the future. One thing weve been talking a lot about in the past few months is gdp and how it will go down dramatically on the heels of a pandemic. You were recently quoted in a bloomberg article about how this is not a great measure of peoples wellbeing. You also say high prices in the stock market are even a worse indicator of societies wrong actions. What wrong actions have we been taking up until now . Stock marketon the really is reversed. We know underlying the growth in the stock market are a few companies, silicon valley, the digital giants who are doing very well as a result of the monopoly power. People going to the stock market because Interest Rates are so low. Returns on bonds are so low, they are piling into the stock get. And wages are not doing well, which helps stock market. All of those things are weakening our economy, so it is almost perverse. This growing stock market is almost a sign that things are not going well in other parts of the economy. Oncisely, we need to focus the role of market power in our economy, the low wages, the fact that at the bottom the wages are the same as they were 65 years ago adjusted for inflation, and most importantly, we need the soregate demand going up, that the jobs are there for all americans. That was nobel laureate, Columbia University Professor Joseph stiglitz. Salesforce has conducted thousands and thousands of Person Survey on the future of work and the perception of workers. Growth anda is the innovation evangelist at salesforce. I want to start with what you think is the most important thing you learned through this survey about what people are thinking about when it comes to work. Tiffani a couple of key themes that we found. Empower workers to do their job, Prioritize Health and safety, and become more value driven. That was consistent on a global basis across 10 countries. Vonnie what does all of that mean . Break it down more, what is it that people need when they tick those boxes . Tiffani at the end of the day, people want to be empowered and enabled to do their job, not only today but the future. The future of work is evolving on a daily basis. There is no question automation and technology is changing the way we work. The pandemic is changing the way we work. Ad be more value driven as brand is changing the way we work. All of this coming together simultaneously is an amazing opportunity for leaders and companies to not go back to the status quo but to reimagine the future and a place where business can be a great platform for change as well as help their employees be the best they can be every day at work. Amanda what will that mean in terms of how things will change . So far we have been adapting, using the technology we had in a brickandmortar world. Future,foreseeable those that were in an Office Environment will be remote. Managing will be different, human relations will be different, everything will be different. Your products may have to get different. What are you thinking about in terms of customizing and changing so that you can help a whole new way of operating . Tiffani it was very diverse on the findings of this. Almost half of the people we surveyed said they want to go back to the office. The other half wants to continue to work from home, which means his hybrid environment will continue for the foreseeable future, which means brands will have to figure out how to allow our employees to be empowered to work wherever they want to. That is why the technology has to keep up with ensuring we cannot only keep our employees working effectively, but also keeping them productive. This is a time for resiliency. At the end of the day, we have to figure out how we prepare our businesses for not only what we are going through now, but how do we prepare ourselves for the future . This is being driven by adaptability and resilience. Vonnie i understand what you are saying, you talk about being empowered, resilient and so on, but what does that mean concretely . Better zoom . Im not sure i follow. Tiffani at the end of the day, we want to make sure that you can serve your customers well, that you can manage teams effectively, that you are paying attention to Mental Health and wellbeing, that you are empowering them to do not only what is best for the customers, but also best for the community and Broader Shareholder community. Techniciansservice tried to figure out new ways that they can serve customers, if they cannot go into their homes. There is so much impact around the future of work. We have to think, how do we Prioritize Health and safety, while at the same time, we are resilient and growing . Amanda one of th findings of the surveys that touches on this establishment of search is this notion of learning. Very hard for organizations to do. Most of us have tried to adapt the best we can to this Strange Technology but do everything in the same way. Where do you see your clients in the process of actually changing processes, the way they do things to fit this new order . Tiffani what has been inspiring in this time is people leaning in to rapidly digitally transforming their environment, some of which they held off on. This has forced the digitization of the business. We used to have call centers full of people. We have five that have deployed bots to serve customers in realtime, answering questions rapidly and scaling those answers. Making sure they dont have a gap in service to their customers. We want to maintain Customer Success and experience in this time. Box,er it is video, chat machine learning, ai, this is all technology that is available. Some people are afraid of that technology. This is where you have to relearn. Take the opportunity to reskill. That is one of the themes on workforce development. A lot of people are saying i know i dont have the skills for the future, but what is inspiring is they are looking to get those skills. Providing online learning, giving them an opportunity to find new work, it has really been inspiring for our customers. Vonnie thank you, tiffani bova of salesforce. From new york and toronto, this is bloomberg. Mark i am Mark Crumpton with bloombergs first word news. It is deadline day for Speaker Pelosi and Steven Mnuchin on covid19 relief.
