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. Vonnie it is 1 00 p. 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. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says a stimulus deal could be close at hand. Add the ardennes he says forget the stimulus, we should be focused on stopping the spread of covid19. Our interview with him next. Contested 2020 president ial election. Both parties have been prepping racehe possibility as the hurtles toward the finish line. We will speak to Richard Pildes. Look atis hour, we will how investors are trying to get an edge by analyzing the physical destruction of climate space. Lets get a quick check on the markets. We have not seen too Much Movement in the session. The equity indices, it is mixed. The dow and the s p 500 up. 2 . The nasdaq is down. 2 . Vix still elevated at 28. A little bit of selling off in treasuries on the 10year. 84 basis after some mixed iles ofc data including p firsttime claims. Now lets get to the Supreme Court. Amy Coney Barrett has moved to the floor part of the senate vote. Mitch mcconnell says they will be in session over the weekend to discuss that. Lets get to Richard Pildes of New York University talk about those issues that might arise, not only with a nineseat court, but leading up to the election. We obviously have amy Coney Barrett going through, we have a nineseat Supreme Court. What are the issues you see coming up before the court in the next couple of weeks . Richard the next couple of weeks . That is interesting. Challenget case is a to the obamacare statute. A lower court basically invalidated the statute on a technical ground. The case is before the Supreme Court. The democrats have certainly played up that case during confirmation hearings. Another case involves the census about whethertion the National Government will be able to provide information to states and local governments about noncitizens providing information about small persons. That has all sorts of ramifications. That is another issue that the court will be looking into. Of course, one of the looming questions is, with all the litigation we are having around the election, are there going to be election cases that come to the court after the election . An enormous issue, if that turns out to be the case. Vonnie presumably, they would take precedence, if suits are brought on behalf of donald trump or joe biden, they would go to the front of the line. Richard they would go up through the system, the system will process those incredibly quickly, and we may pass by one stage in the process. Those cases cannot start in the Supreme Court. They will start in a lower Federal District court, but they will zoom through the system because there is obvious tremendous urgency, as there was when the Supreme Court was involved in getting those issues worked out. Know that there are potential problems when it comes to the amount of justices on the Supreme Court. We are not sure but joe biden may change the number if he becomes president. How easy would that be, and could he pick any number . Richard [laughter] i have never had the question asked quite that way. Have fullocrats control of the government, the political process, majority in the senate, house, white house, then they could in theory do something that fdr tried and failed to do in 1937, which is pack the Supreme Court, add justices to the Supreme Court. They could do that through ordinary legislation. They would have to survive the filibuster to do that. Perhaps they will eliminate the haveuster, if they dont 61 seats in the senate. Joe biden has indicated some hesitation about doing this but there is a lot of pressure toward doing this. We are in an unfortunate place with the court, which is we have been in this downward spiral in which one side breaks some sort of norm, the other side breaks another norm. Packing the court is not something that has taken place since the civil war. We have been at nine justices since then. Backlashempt, which against him politically, kept president s away from this since then. The movement to do this now is certainly more intense than it has ever been given both the Merrick Garland episode, and this current confirmation process. We will see what happens, including how the Court Decides major cases in the early part of a biden presidency, if we end up with one. Vonnie there is even a suggestion now that seats could be taken away. Presumably, that would be more difficult. Richard definitely. All federal judges have life tenure. Anything that compromises that tenure, such as removing seats from the court, would certainly be challenged in the courts. There has been less talk about removing justices than there has been about adding justices to the court. Teachinghen you are your students, what is the constitutional question that is what is the constitutional precedent in case law that is most at risk here . Richard i think the first answer i was going to give you to the question is, of course, students are overwhelmingly focused on the election, legal, constitutional issues around the election. Particularly after the election, if we end up in some sort of conflict and dispute that goes to the court. That would be number one. Then i think it is the hot button cultural issues that students are more focused on, whether that is the abortion lgbtq rights of individuals, antidiscrimination statutes, regulating the political process, finance reform. If the Biden Administration wants to come in and do that with congresss support. Front, the election is and center in every law students mind, and in the mind of my students. We are talking exactly about these issues. Vonnie thank you for joining us, Richard Pildes. Coming up, u. S. Stimulus talks ongoing but there are still significant policy differences, according to larry kudlow. We will discuss next with ed yardeni of your denny research yardeni research. Vonnie this is bloomberg markets. Im vonnie quinn. Says Speaker Nancy Pelosi she and treasury secretary mnuchin are just about there on a deal for coronavirus relief. Warning, larry kudlow on foxbusiness that they are still significant policy differences between the two sides. Despite the investor focus, our next guest believes there is not a need for more stimulus, but what we must do is slow the spread of the virus. Ed yardeni joins us now to discuss. I dont think anyone will disagree with you on the virus, we all want to slow the spread i guess some would disagree with you. But what about the bond markets . We saw a big move on a day that we saw the claims coming down. Ed this has been going on the past few days in the bond market because they are expecting one way or another there will be a stimulus package. If not before but after the election. I think the bond market is discounting that possibility. Meanwhile, the fed keeps buying lots of bonds, trying to keep the yield below 1 . It has been an interesting tugofwar between the bond market and the fed. Vonnie are you anticipating that we will see anymore big moves . You say the big moves have been going on but we have been a range of the 10 year between 70 and 85 basis points forever. Thathere is a possibility if stimulus finally gets through, that perception will be that the economy is doing reasonably well. Now it will be even stronger. That could push the bond yield about 1 . Then i think you will see the fed come in and officially announce what they call yield curve targeting, which is a euphemism to say that they are going to do everything they can to keep a bond yield below 1 . They may announce a target of 0. 5 percent, 0. 75 . Vonnie a target between. 5 repeat . Ed if the bond yield moves above 1 , the fed will be very concerned. Housing has gotten a tremendous lift from Mortgage Rates. I will not be surprised if the fed announces a target range of 0. 5 percent to 0. 75 . Vonnie that would be a phenomenal event if that would happen. Lets underline this. We would never have seen ending like that before. Would inflation concerns go out the window, and would everybody just undo their inflation hedges . My we have not seen it in lifetime in your lifetime, but in world war ii, there was a deal between the treasury and the fed, where the fed attacked shortterm and longterm rates close to zero. It was not until the early 1950s that the fed got out of that deal and said we are not going to peg the bond yield anymore. There is a precedent for this. The fed has actually discussed it in their june 10 minutes. They discussed the possibility of doing Something Like this. Vonnie what about the fundamentals of the economy . At some point, we may get something below to trillion. It may not happen before the election, maybe january. What does that do for the run rate of gdp . Ed the run rate right now for the Third Quarter is 35 of an annual rate compared to a drop of 30 during the Second Quarter. It is unprecedented the kind of drops and increases we have seen in real gdp. I think we will probably settle 5 , andSomething Like then getting to something more normal. The economy has had a vshaped recovery right until april, according to the data we have on a regional basis. Vonnie what are you advising clients to do, if this is your base case . Ed i have been bullish for a long time and im advising them to stay invested in the market. To the extent they have had balance portfolios, doing stocks and bonds, they may want to reconsider the asset allocation. 60 Standard Allocation is equities, 40 bonds. I could see doing 80 equities, 20 bonds. Bonds are not that interesting here. They could actually hurt you if the bond yield goes up. But i think the fed will come in before too long, if that happens. Vonnie what corners of the bond market are you most interested in . We have been talking to a lot of people looking at the relative value of various credits at the moment, forward volatility, and so on. What is the barometer for you for what we will see creditwise over the next six months . Ed credit spreads are going to remain relatively narrow. Simply because the fed has announced ever since march 21 that they are going to backstop the credit markets. To the extent that you can get a good yield in the Corporate Bond relativelyh a Investment Grade reading, thats fine. It will be interesting to see what happens in the Municipal Bond market. If biden wins and the democrats sweep the washington political bondsplace, municipal could look pretty attractive to the extent that taxes would be going up, people would be looking for opportunities to invest in something that is taxexempt. Vonnie even if we dont get what the democrats want state and local government wise . They have insisted get something. Of course, if biden wins and the democrats come in, they can redo the whole deal and make sure that state and local governments get some of. Vonnie what is your consensus, does biden win, is there a blue sweep . Ed nobody knows. It is too close to call. Themis point, i am telling , the most important person in washington, d. C. Is not going to be trump or biden. It will continue to be fed chairman jerome powell. The fed is the key driver of the stock market. They made it clear they want to keep Interest Rates near zero for the foreseeable future. I think that matters more than who the next president is. If we have trump, more spending on infrastructure, if we have biden, more spending on infrastructure, the green nude deal, and taxes. That i dont think either one of them are going to get a recession. I am bullish on the market. Vonnie always fun to chat with you. Bond jolanta, ed vigilante, ed yardeni. Theng up, preparing for final debate between the president and joe biden. A lab report from the debate location live report from the debate location. This is bloomberg. Vonnie this is im vonnie quinn. Bloomberg markets. Im vonnie quinn. President trump and Vice President joe biden face of the final time in tonights debate. We are joined by Kevin Cirilli live from the debate site in nashville. Our people lining up, is there prep already . Kevin i have to admit, it is a much different vibe from the previous cycle. You dont have the usual pomp and circumstance that you usually anticipate with a debate. There are many precautions related to social distancing, less so here in tennessee then what we have seen in the country. The famed broadway in nashville is somewhat open for music, although with the beer restrictions in place. But without question, tonights debate is the final opportunity for President Trump to reset his campaign ahead of the november 3 election. Mind you, 40 million americans have already cast their ballot. Will likelyonight be foreign, especially since John Ratcliffe had a press conference yesterday announcing cyberattackd russia u. S. Voter registration. Expect that to come up, as well as economic stimulus. This as talks continue in washington with Speaker Pelosi saying she is doing everything in her power to get to some sort of deal with the white house. Leader mcconnell, that republican bill still feeling this week, but that was largely a symbolic move. Vonnie what are you hearing from aides in both camps . For example, the hunter biden story, the Rudy Giuliani story, and then you have President Trump releasing the 60 minutes interview. How much of that will eat up the policy air tonight . Kevin i recently spoke to someone from the biden campaign. There is a palpable level of angst that is expected this close to an election day. I spoke to tom perez the other day, and i said, what keeps you up at night . He said a deja vu of 2016. The polls look as good for joe biden as they did for hillary clinton. I also spoke with a source on the president ial Election Campaign and they say they are working around the clock to make up ground, they are adding events. Trumpnd point, in ivanka added an event with senator Marsha Blackburn of tennessee. The president himself will be participating in a local Small BusinessCommunity Roundtable this afternoon. This is the Fourth Quarter. This is the 2 00 warning essentially. That starts the night here in nashville, tennessee. And dont forget about the buzz around town. At the pancake factory this morning. There is going to be a mute button. A lot going on here in nashville, tennessee. The winner will already be declared the mute button or the Debate Commission for changing the format. Evan, thank you.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sounded an optimistic tone at her News Conference today. Pleased that we have reached have note we complete signed off on it but we are just about there. Resourceslocate the and the policies necessary to do that. Mark Senate Republicans are the main roadblock to enacting a roughly 2 trillion deal being negotiated by Speaker Pelosi and secretary mnuchin. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell has made no promises on when the senate may vote on any agreement. Democratic president ial nominee joe biden will not rule out adding additional members to the Supreme Court if elected. Wins thebs, if he white house, he will form a commission to study reforms to the u. S. Court system. Senate democrats have suggested adding seats to the high court known as court packing. Biden has been under pressure to describe his position on the system since the death of ruth bader ginsburg. Florida is seeing its coronavirus numbers rise again. The state reported more than 5500 new cases today, the most since mid august. Officials say the Positivity Rate dropped slightly from a day earlier but was also amongst the highest readings in two months. 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. Live from toronto, im amanda lang. 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. Is the u. S. Economy in better shape than we think . How fiscal stimulus measures have created market opportunities. Will pay a record for an bribery penalty in the u. S. And will enter a guilty plea for its plundering of the malaysian mdv one investment fund. Plus, looking at how investors are trying to get at and by analyzing the physical destruction of climate from space. Amanda lets get a check on markets. You could call these markets range bound. As close to sideways as you can get, unlike the session we saw yesterday. The internals of the market are mixed. Some buying on the news but we are getting more positive. Nancyve commentary from pelosi today, sounding optimistic about getting a deal done. Of course still need to get through a republicancontrolled senate. The marketeer may be signaling more faith in it. Earlier, they had been negative. Financials are doing well today. Health care is one to watch. It is one to watch. Rapid testing on the forefront on many peoples minds about how we move forward in this pandemic. The effect on the economy has been a major focal point, including that early burst we in fourthh will wane quarter, but not everyone is gloomy. There are opportunities because of this year fiscal stimulus, according to our next guest. We saw one of those earlier today when we saw existing home sales in the u. S. Beating expectations, as Mortgage Rates hit an 11th low record this year. With tekmerionis capital management. You have been talking about housing as one place where we are seeing strength and opportunity. I want to start there with what you are seeing in housing going forward. Zachary thats right. The Housing Market has been a particular source of strength in the u. S. Economy. We had a great existing home sales number this morning, the strongest number since 2006. This week, you have had good data as well. Homebuilders index at a record high on monday. A very strong housing permits number on tuesday. I think the combination of the fact that across a lot of the y people are getting back to business as usual and lockdowns are not as severe as they are in new york city, and you obviously have lacquered record low rates. The Banking System has a pretty supportive, which is a big difference from a lot of other major economies, where Banking Systems have retrenched and are tighter in response to the pandemic. Of course, you have massive fiscal stimulus. The Second Quarter was actually the strongest disposable Income Growth that u. S. Households have ever seen since records started being kept. That was due to the fiscal stimulus, which at the beginning of the Second Quarter, government transfer payments were making up a third of families disposable income. A lot of that was saved and represents pentup consumption. Even if we dont get the maximum stimulus that people are expecting, or is delayed going forward, it gives people room to run in terms of getting the economy back on track. Vonnie how long does this last, zachary . Can go onothing forever in terms of a one time fiscal stimulus payment translating into stronger growth indefinitely. But you are starting to get to the point where you see the economy generating some of its own momentum, moving toward what you would call it escape velocity. Even without that, the arguments going on now over fiscal it going to be 2 trillion or 1. 6 trillion dollars, in november or january . No one is arguing that no more is coming, but that is an important context to have as we forecast where Economic Conditions could be in the next several months. The conversation is only about how much stimulus is coming, not whether we need any at all. Amanda that creates a wildcard, and you would say opportunity when it comes to yields. What are you looking at, thinking about investing in yields . Zachary we see a big opportunity in u. S. Yields. Kind ofe pandemic market panic in march, equities have come back strongly. Some may argue too strongly. Yields have been bouncing along on the floor of where they dropped to, at levels at the thest since march, close to lowest ever historically. To us, that looks mispriced. As we have written about in our research, we do see the economic recovery in the u. S. Picking up steam, and the u. S. Is starting to pull away from the pack in terms of relative to other major developed economies. You not only see growth increasing, but you see inflation coming back as well. If you look at the most recent core pce, it is already back to 1. 6 . February, fell to a low of 0. 9 , but now is nearly all the way back. You look at that and see an economy coming back and expanding. The labor market continuing to heal on a trajectory that is obviously not as sharp as you had in the initial aftermath of the recovery, but that is expected. Sort of a parabolic line there. You see the labor market moving and inflation picking back up. None of that makes sense with yields below 1 . Vonnie we have to leave it there, thank you. Lets turn to the credit side of the market. He is positioning himself to win again around the president ial election. In an exclusive interview, erik to weinsteinke about the chaos that he sees ahead. For think that we are due renewed volatility. I dont say that because i have any crystal ball. Certainly, mine is cloudy or mostly cloudy. The credit market has recovered almost back to where we were prepared to. As measured by credit spreads, you may have to do some fancy work, which we can get into, to unpack what we mean when we say credit spreads. When i see how low they are today versus objective measures of future volatility, like the vix, and even when you think about the onslaught of news that will come out, i believe credit, when spreads are low as they are today, is asymmetric, shortfall, and i want to delve into that. The markets are telling us there is a good chance for volatility. It may mean the market goes up or down, but as a Credit Investor with meager spreads, you are only exposed to the wrong side of that. The past few months have been relatively calm. Why are you confident more turmoil lies ahead . Your point, is elevated, but it has been elevated. Like the calm before the storm. Certain,a date known november 3, where there may be an incredible move, maybe not. With respect to equities, that doesnt mean something good or bad. You have the benefit of asymmetry. Stocks can go up more than 100 . Stocks can only go down 100 . In credit, you are exposed to that asymmetry. The market is waiting for further direction, not only on the election but of course covid, whether the recovery the market is in a very tenuous place right now. You are right, we have not moved much because everyone is waiting to see how the Fourth Quarter shapes up. Amanda that was boaz weinstein. You can catch more of that interview on your terminal or on bloomberg. Com. He will also be speaking at the robinhood investors conference. Coming up next, how Asset Managers are using data from outer space to track the effects of global warming. This is bloomberg. Vonnie this is bloomberg markets. Im vonnie quinn in new york. Unions first offering of social bonds was a success. The 20 billion dollar offering attracted orders of more than 275 billion, making it 14 times oversubscribed. It is the eus first joint that since the block agreed to a landmark pandemic deal. Italy will be the biggest beneficiary. This leads us to our weekly bloomberg green series, where we focus on the developments in green science and environmental solutions. This week, we dig into the esg special as part of bloomberg magazine, looking at how investors are gauging future climate risk with satellite imaging. Its been 75 years since the first photo of earth was taken from space, and today we are entering a new kind of space race, collecting financial data. Joining us now is alastair marsh. I feel like we need background music. Can you give us a rundown of what you mean . Alastair you are right to say that humans have been looking at planet earth for 75plus years. Last 5, 10 in the years, given the explosion in satellites going to space, partly thanks to elon musk and spacex, all of that has reduced the cost of sending spotlights satellites into space, and so we have a number of satellites relying back to us and ever amount ever increasing amount of data. Pretty much every square kilometer of the globe. Pretty much every building and tree under surveillance, which Asset Managers can use to used to be an input on their portfolio management. We know that a lot of highfrequency data is gathered this way now. You can literally count the number of Cargo Containers coming in and out of a port using satellite imagery, but it is proprietary. When it comes to Climate Change, global warning warming, are the satellites publicly owned . Alastair its a combination of both. You have vanessa and the european you have nasa and the european equivalent making data available, but you also have private enterprises. It is not a cheap endeavor. What these Asset Managers are doing is costly in terms of resources and financing. The reason they are doing it, they believe they can get an investing edge. Justare looking at, not gauging the impact of climaterelated risks, climaterelated events, such as fires we have seen a lot of that this year in australia, california but also trying to predict where they might be, and then using that information to assets,h companies have subplain,in the parts of the fire. This is all very high tech and cool, but the point of it is ultimately about investing. These are investing managers that want to get an edge for their clients. Vonnie so much money mandated to go to esg now, so many ways to define that, whether you are looking at outcomebased investing or incomebased investing. How does someone know that what they are doing is having an impact . Managers ine of the spoke to on this piece for analyzing satellite data, they say, what they call physical risk and geospatial analysis, which is using satellite imagery to look at the impacts of Climate Change, has been a material input in many investors. Clearly, not the only factor. This is really symbolic for two key reasons. As you say, everyone is talking about esg now. There is a real spectrum in terms of commitment to sustainability and sophistication in terms of deploying strategies that can input that. You thathows Climate Change is a materially financial risk. Satellites butng mostly on the physical manifestations of global warming. Fires, floods, etc. There is also the transition risk they are looking at. Which companies and Business Models will be basically defunct in a world where we are moving away from the hydrocarbon economy that we have been dependent on, have lived with the last couple of decades . That will be a massive disruption. Of course, investors love disruption because its an opportunity to make money, but also a chance to lose money in that transition, too. Amanda thank you, alastair marsh. Coming up next, a guilty plea and record fine for Goldman Sachs and its malaysian subsidiary. We will discuss. This is bloomberg. Amanda time now for stock of the hour. Investors seem to like what they see from southwestern. Scarlet fu is digging through the numbers. Scarlet the story at southwestern and the rest of the Airline Property the focus turned to each cares financial position. Southwest is better positioned than the others. And that the quarter with 15 billion in liquidity. Cut thatlooking to even more to 11 million. Just to get to breakeven, it needs revenue to be double the 1. 8 billion and posted in the Third Quarter. By contrast, american is spending the most, 44 million a day in the Third Quarter. Southwest is keeping its fleet lien, talking with boeing about changing up its orders for the 737 max. Its most recent plan is to take 115firm orders after 2021, optional orders. That is a lot of planes before demand has recovered. Cowen had called this a lost order but did say that we are perhaps passed the worst of it. Southwest says demand is inconsistent by region but is adding some flights, some destinations where there is Leisure Travel picking up. Vonnie thank. Much appreciated. Bythe first ever guilty plea a bank unit, Goldman Sachs will pay a record for an bribery penalty for its scheme in the running billions of dollars raised for Economic Development in malaysia, the 1mdb fund. Sonali basak is here with more. In many ways, this is a win for Goldman Sachs because they can get past this candle that they have had to oversee four years in regards to discussions with u. S. Regulators and regulators around the world. Fine. S a record bribery fines we have seen for the foreign corrupt practices act im not one of them is a bank of a and not one of them is a u. S. Company. This is the first u. S. Company to pay a fine of this magnitude. Not seen ass is guilty in this case but they did admit wrongdoing in other ways in their malaysian unit. The fact that the Parent Company is not guilty means a lot of clients can continue to work with them. That would otherwise have had to scale back. Fine, it may be a record but for a company like goldman, it is a slap on the risk wrist. They are taking back some pay from executives, so what is that message that they are sending internally . Sonali its a significant amount of money. 31 Million Dollars for current executives. Almost two or three times that for people that have left the firm. They are Holding People personally accountable for this, with or without any guilt involved here. You have also in the statement that they put out today, a presentation on how they have changed their compliance, how they are looking for red flags among their businesses around the world. Wes is unique, very rare, have not seen something of this magnitude for a bank. But it is a day where they can start to put these issues behind them. Vonnie investors are telling them that very thing. Stock is up 1. 5 percent, rising since the opening bell. Thank you, sonali basak. Interesting tidbits around that story. I would urge everyone to go to the bloomberg. Com to have a look at that. From new york and toronto, this is bloomberg. Mark i am Mark Crumpton with bloombergs first word news. Senate republicans powered passed a democratic boycott to advance amy Coney Barretts nomination to the full senate keeping President Trumps pick on track for confirmation before election day. The Senate Majority has conducted the most rushed, most partisan, and the least legitimate process in the long history of Supreme Court nominations. Lend a single not ounce of legitimacy to this sham in the judiciary committee. Mark though democrats did stay away, they placed at their empty spots posters of constituents they say have been helped by the Affordable Care act which is now being challenged in court. President trump and joe biden will face off for 90 minutes in the final debate tonight. Experts say the biggest risk for each candidate comes from their weaknesses and left from each other
