Moodys downgrades 10 smaller lenders. They did finish off session lows, the s p 500 lost more than 1 at one point and it recouped half of the losses. We had a haven demand not to mention moves despite the fact we are bracing for the 100 billion wave of options but have to be digested this week. Take a look at crude prices down. 2 after gaining ground in the new york session. We heard from the ukrainian president talking about retaliation and russia continues to block the reports. Its all about the after our session. Look at the bank because we are looking at huge losses. That overshadowed better than expected outlook for earnings that had seen the stock rally earlier on.

They are citing sustained losses and canceled memberships. Also coupon the retailer posting their fourth straight quarterly profit after investments in logistics and membership programs. Heres a story we are watching closely and it is developing. U. S. Plans to restrict invest in china will only apply to companies to get at least half of their revenue from cuttingedge sectors. That includes things like computing and artificial intelligence. Lets get the details with a reporter in washington. What do you know about how this order will be structured . We have known for a long time that the goal of the order is to focus on restricting chinese access to sensitive technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and advanced semiconductors. This restriction on u. S. Investment will only apply to investment in companies that derive more than half of their revenue from these are strict activities. This will be another move that we are seeing by the Biden Administration narrow the scope of the order. Shery a question is how effective will this be . Guest Jake Sullivan the National Security advisor in the white house has talked about a small yard and a high fence. Theyre trying to make this focused on a small universe of companies have their restrictions be very restrictive. This is a prohibition, not just a requirement for notification. It will be focused on an even smaller inverse of Companies Engaged in this type of technology. Haidi how is this likely to impact router chinese relations given that we have seen the amplification and elevation of munications this year . Communications this year . Guest on the one hand, the Biden Administration is taking these novel approaches with the Outbound Investment review order to Strict Chinese access to advanced technology but on the other hand, they are doing this outreach to normalize relations sending highlevel cabinet ministers over to china to talk to officials there. Notice that one of the jobs that janet yellen had in her trip to beijing last month was a socialized concept of Outbound Investment review order and to make sure chinese officials understand what is included, what is not, and how it is inspected ash expected to affect the broader investment for china. Haidi this can be quite interesting when it comes to the set up in china today as we have a lot of data. Many crosscurrents at the moment for investors to deal with. It is something that will be denting investor investor confidence. Something else that is weighing on sentiment in the Chinese Market is the property sector. Yesterday, the story revolved around country garden. This used to be one of the Biggest Developers in china, now it is the sixth guest by sales. Importantly, it has never defaulted on its debt obligations in the past unlike a lot of its peers. Now we have reporting that they have missed payments on two of the outstanding notes essentially we had bondholders confirming they did not receive these coupons on monday. They were due for two notes worth 23 million in interest. We saw a lot of their notes trading further into the stress territory. We also saw the equity plunging in the session. The company not confirming that it has missed these but said it is showing some liquidity stress. Something beijing will be watching closely. The Property Market is heated chinas growth story. It is key to chinas growth story. China is heavy on the ecoside. Esther day was about the trade numbers. Here, its all about inflation. Cpi will be the one to watch because we could be getting a negative print for the First Time Since february of 2021. Pbi as well that should be showing deflation for us for a 10th straight month on the year. Shery breaking news, we are hearing on the bloomberg terminal reporting from reuters that amazon is in talks about joining other Tech Companies as a Cornerstone Investor in softbank arm ahead of the ipo. This is according to people familiar with the matter speaking to reuters. Amazons potential involvement in the ipo has not been previously reported and it underscores significance in cloud computing. Aws makes its own chips using arm design. We know how aggressively they have been chasing those deals hinging on the plan ipo of softbank arm. The chip designer seeking to raise as much as 10 billion in that debut market. That ipo could come as soon as september and bloomberg has been looking at this story and a potential valuation up to 70 billion. Now were hearing from reuters that amazon is in talks about joining other Tech Companies to become a corner store Investor Company ahead of its ipo. Softbank is starting to make investments again. Mission funds has made its first profit in six quarters on the tech rebound although arm has tumbled to a quarterly loss ahead of the ipo. Without the Earnings Results earlier this week. We got the earnings for results earlier this week. U. S. Stocks trimming the losses as did buyers swooped in. Lets bring a Kathleen Hays and emily. We had plenty of commentary early in the week from fed officials and we are getting more today. What are we seeing in terms of that hawkish or dovish shift . Hike or hold, that is the big question. September is still weeks away. We have three big economic reports. Cpi this week then another one after that. This is a long way away, but everybody is still looking marking up their territory. The president of the richmond fed is a centrist. He is never going out ahead with hawks. I dont see him lagging behind with does. His adamant that the economy is still very strong. The atlanta fed gdp index is a tracker it shows thirdquarter gdp could come in above 4 . He also says inflation remains too high. Lets listen. Inflation remains too high. There is a plausible story that inflation normalizes in short order and the economy dodges additional pain. Theres a lot of talk about the potential for what is often called a soft landing. Last months inflation was a good one and i hope its a good sign because to be sure, the feds objective is not to cause a recession, it is to reduce inflation in line with our mandate. He is sticking with what he said before, no reason to prejudge this decision. Patrick harker has been for a long time suggesting we are almost at the point where we can pause and see if we need to assess what rate hikes. He is doubling down on that. I think he said the fed may be getting to the point where it can hold policy, assess the data, see the effect of rate hikes. He is firmly in the camp of seeing a chance of a stop soft landing is good and is also saying once the fed gets to the point where it is ready to hold policy study, the fed will have to be there for a while. However, later in the day when he was speaking while he said he did not see an immediate rate cut after the fed goes into the hold, he does think our next year if inflation is starting to come down, the fed could be cutting rates. One more thing not on the table yet, we have seen this data out of china. The exports plunging. The weakest exports for china the second largest economy in the world, the second weakest since the great financial crisis. Theres a lot that could happen not just on the imports on inflation and jobs but the Global Economy as well before the september decision. Emily, we were just talking about how many crosscurrents there are for investors to contend with. Is that what was going on with the price action today . Absolutely. A lot of news in the morning about the moodys downgrade and that seemed to weigh on the entire equity market in the u. S. We did not see that Much Movement in bonds until later in the day, but it was interesting to watch and stocks how did buyers seemed to emerge in Health Care Sector. This isnt a sector that i watch a lot particularly because it is one of the worst performing sectors year to date but today, it was the best sector in the s p 500 led by eli lilly, those earnings coming in better than expected after the sales of their weight loss treatment blue past expectations and we saw across the Health Care Sector a lot of loss related stocks rallying in the afternoon. The did buyers were coming into at least that area of the market. The banks were still lower and overall, we finish the day lower. The earnings season has been interesting. We are not seeing the market reward beats as much as they do but at least for eli lilly, it was the best day for that stock. Emily, we have 100 billion of treasury auctions that the markets have to digest this week. How is that going . So far so good. There was a lot of nervousness ahead of the first round. This was three year auction we saw today because the treasury had warned last week that they would have to of their borrowing and there was nervousness that would we see the demand from the buyers . We saw the auction get lower than expected yield. We saw nondealers buying a lot. They are not required to participate in the auction like you lose have to. Overall, it was encouraging for the bond market. We have over 100 billion left to go. Still, multiple billion dollars with the 10 year and already youre auctions coming up later in the weekend cpi as well. A lot more volatility to come for the bond market. Shery still ahead, a closer look at asian currency action as concerns grow over chinas lackluster recovery. First, better times ahead the fed no longer forecasting a recession. This is bloomberg. Fabulous surroundings. But everyones looking at their phones for Financial Insights from merrill. Is he hailing a ride to the concert hall . No. Hes making sure his portfolio and retirement plans work in harmony. They want to adopt a child and build a new home. So theyre talking numbers with their merrill adviser. Shes not researching her next role. Shes learning how to handle market ups and downs without the drama. Personalized advice so impressive your money never stops working for you with merrill. A bank of america company. We saw a moves into sectors today. Financial and also health care. Eli lilly led the gains higher. Sales of its treatment by past expectations and a new study erased the prospect that its drug could affect heart diseases. Weight watchers also bought a telemedicine firm that prescribes obesity medication so it soared as much as 24 at one point today. You been watching these two sectors closely. Lets start with health care. Is there more potential for upside . Absolutely because what we are seeing is the beginning of consumer adoption of these drugs and we are beginning to see secondary benefits like benefits that are showing up now for heart disease. By lowering the way is helping the weight it is helping people strokes and heart attack as well which gives it further indication to be included in Corporate Health care plans. We are synced the uplift that will happen when later this year or potentially next year you will be able to get these drugs in pill form as opposed to injection. That will lower the cost and make them more accessible to consumers. Ride the trend, eli lilly and novo nordisk will be to fantastic names as well as Weight Watchers because through Weight Watchers, you will be able to purchase those drugs without having to fight with your local doctor. You can go directly to someone who will give you the prescription you need. When it comes to lenders, how do you see the downgrade of the smaller and midsize banks . What does that mean if we see more consolidation in the space . Is there a way to play that in the markets . Its a sector to avoid because small banks cant win right now. Their depositors are requiring high Interest Rates because thats what they can get in money markets. They are having to charge higher rates to lend money but they have had to end been forced to tighten credit standards. Higher rates and higher credit standards are sending the and mediumsized borrowers to the shadow banking system, to the nonbanks and online and peer to peer lenders. They cant catch a break because their margins are getting squeezed. They have higher compliance costs, lower margins because they have to pay out more for deposits. I would say dont touch it right now. Stay with the big banks if you want bank stocks. Stay out of the small banks. You say by growth on fear days. What within that category do you like at the moment . Tech . Exposure to the ai names . Yes, honestly i have been and amazon will forever. Stop is almost 2 75 this year. If you had bought it 25 years ago, there is a 1900 return. They are leaders that are hard to catch. Its been a question of looking at the growth sectors and finding the names that you like if you want exposure to the most winning name in the sector. You could buy qqq and get all of the Tech Companies, but amazon is far outpacing apple at the moment. I love tech, i love cybersecurity. I like some of the med tech Growth Stocks and even defense tech which you might have thought of as a value stock, but defense is becoming a growth area. That is another place where we come up for good longterm place. What are you focusing on for asia . X china and beneficiaries out of china but you are not looking at the most popular asia play which has been japan this year. I would say theres been massive money flows out of china unfortunately it is just unfortunate we have so much political differences right now so that is forcing a lot of americans out of the investment into china and into emerging markets x china. It used to be emerging markets x japan but now if you look at her example emergingmarket x japan stocks, they havent done all that well but if you look at emergingmarket x china funds, they are 10 or 12 this year. That we get exposure to japan, exposure to x chinese asia all of which is open for American Investment and you also get mexico where you jump on the nurturing trend people in their businesses out of china due to the political restrictions. For buyers on our side of the pond for americans, that is the emerging markets x china is where people are focusing right now because it is obvious, there is a lot of growth in emerging markets. Always great to talk with you. You can get everything you need to know on the terminal at dayb. Bloomberg. He snores like an angry rhino. Youve never heard an angry rhino.

Commonwealth bank of australia profit has climbed next to higher Interest Rates. There is a tone of caution from the comet. Paul we will get to that in a moment. The numbers themselves looked reasonable. Cash profit up nearly 5 . It couldnt be much in line with what was expected. The final dividend got lifted as well. It the total dividend for the year up. The interest margin was up as well. Its better than commonwealth spears. Commonwealth and others not shy about passing on revenue increases we have seen from the rba. The Housing Market has been holding up well despite the inflation the timing from the rba. Business lending has been strong as well helping the Bank Maintain its market share. Overall, healthy set of numbers. What does that mean for the future because you mentioned names and they seem to have peaked late last year. To heidis point, the ceo made comments with a note of caution as well. Outlook seems to be darker, the margin of surplus capital 5. 6 billion. We had an additional buyback that could have been more. Initial analysis suggests dividend could have been higher. It was short of the ceiling. All of this just commonwealth might be keeping back dry powder in case conditions darkened. The ceo noting the resilience of the economy in australia. This is due to the lack of rising Interest Rates and costofliving prices and we are seeing a lot of stories anecdotally of people taking on extra jobs in the mortgage bill to make ends meet at the costofliving prices mount. Inflation is not going way fast and the likely impact of the tightening perhaps is yet to be felt. Shery take a look at how after hours trading is going in the u. S. Session. We had earnings reports from these companies and you can see the plunge in lyft. His sword initially but then we realized the growth was the slowest in two years. That offset the betterthanexpected outlook. Rivian also unchanged maybe hire a little bit. They raised their Production Guidance but they are also warning about more costs in the future. Coupon also. More to come shery you are watching daybreak australia. U. S. Futures muted after we saw the s p 500 and other major indices fall in the new york session. We saw a little bit of a rebound after the selloff on bargainhunting with the s p 500 at one point falling more than 1 but hooping about half of its losses. Annabelle joins us to discuss the outlook for stocks. What are we hearing about the recent pullback . U. S. Stocks perhaps a little bit sideways but definitely in the prior week seeing the biggest weekly drop since march. What we are hearing from the likes of citigroup for instance is this could be a good thing. What they are calling is the recent moves and orderly pullback and they have reduced the risk of not only the chaotic selloff, but also some of the shortterm positioning risk and markets. These had been quite significant concerns to investors. They are saying that essentially, markets are in good shape not only for the upside but also where the negative news or shocks over the coming weeks. What stocks are facing is the recent Dollar Strength we continue to see, the consolidation over the past three weeks or so. Dollar strength could be something that continues if you take technicals as a guide, but we so the bloomberg dollar gauge hitting its highest since march 15 of this year. Perhaps a flight to safety also pointing to other concerns for investors things like the moodys bank downgrade, chinas Economic Health and other factors. Something that could keep u. S. Stocks under pressure for quite some time. Deutsche bank also sing upsides. Over the course of this year, they are saying that in the case of a soft landing, the s p 500 could end the year at 5000. That is there soft landing scenario. They broadly see ending the year around 4500. Sticking with their most recent view on that, what Deutsche Bank or why they are saying we could see further upside does relate to this earnings rebound. They are very confident in the latest set of earnings they have had so far from the secondquarter numbers coming out of the u. S. There also talking about the recent consolidation we have seen in u. S. Stocks. They are saying this is something that was due for investors, 3 to 4 pullback be in order. Some are saying that 5 could be ahead but strategists are saying the recent runup we are seeing in the u. S. Means some sort of consolidation or reduction is in order. July inflation ratings are due out on wednesday. They are expected to show outright deflation. Prices dropping in tandem for the First Time Since november 2020. Lets bring in our em strategist. How much weakness do we see sustained for the yuan and how much does that play into the broader emerging complex . Our view is the upside is relatively cap at these levels. If we look at the overall dollar compared to november october of last year, the dollar is clearly a lot lower. Eating the China Economic situation is better overall but its all about expectations at the end of the day. Expectations for the market have been very volatile. I think we are still in an adjustment time and finally i think yesterday was very interesting. We saw were fixing they came out with two different numbers. Merck its were it came higher but markets surprised it came higher if we look at the tradeweighted index it declined but it is bounce off the bottom. There are tentative signs that we are nearing a top. There is a lot of negative news raised in. Ultimately as we head into the end of the year, we expect the dollar to get lower. We see china data or policy being ramped up. The china data will eventually turn, then we see that is being positive for c and why. An interesting thing for china is if you look at the corporate behavior in china, they dont tend to follow the trend. When it goes up, they arent selling. But when it starts to turn, they start chasing a lot. Right now, we get a lot of foreign currencies being withheld in china. That tells you when the turn eventually comes, we could see a much faster turnaround or a bigger down move somewhat markets currently expect. Does that lend stability . Is see ny still behaving as an anchor currency proxy to the rest of emerging markets or do you see that correlation fall and are you seeing more idiosyncratic stories for these asian currencies customer i think dollars see ny, we were very worried when it was going up and the rest of dollar asia would go higher but that is not been the case. Asia or certain elements of asia , currencies have been doing a bit better. The north asians the korean yuan has been outperforming to a certain extent. There is a bit of a d correlation in that aspect. However, i do believe that when it turns lower, that is where the correlation picks up again. There are different aspects to the correlation story for dollar china. Talk us through whats happening with the dollar. We had some analysts on the show earlier talking about how the fitch downgraded of the u. S. Credit rating was a wakeup call for dollar investors. What do you think . From our perspective, we believe the fitch downgraded wasnt expected but if we look at the actual market impact, there was weighing down on equities but the overall market move with regard to the impact on treasuries was a lot more limited. Our view with regard to why we are seeing this big steepening is because there was a surprise in terms of the u. S. Treasury issuance. From that perspective, that has been pushing up u. S. Treasuries a lot higher. There is also the aspect about the japan why sisi story. Longterm yields have been trending higher. The increase in duration from the u. S. Treasury has been pushing longterm rates higher and that is the bigger driver rather than the fitch downgraded in our view. Fitch and our view, in terms of the timing it was surprised but if you look at why they are talking about the downgrade or why that did happen with regard to the rationale, we didnt get was a surprise. Talk us through whats happening with the boj and why sisi we know that dollars, we have seen pairs in carry trade. What does that mean if investors are tempted to go back to japan, the big funds trying to repatriate home as well customer . If you look at the reaction and dollaryen. When we sought the tweak to the ycc, the reaction was dollar has to go higher because japan is tightening if we look at the move, allergan has been trending higher. Dollaryen has been trending higher. What i would tell the boj is we dont like they are doing enough. If we think about how that impacts emerging markets, the bigger impact will be u. S. Treasury yields. The rise in global yield tightening does negate some of the carry we are seeing across asia or previous some of the higher yield stories across asia. However, at the end of the day, the move overall is still not enough. If you look at the fundamental story for asia, Asian Central banks are not yet cutting rates. This is a different story to what we are seeing relative to dutch america. Management talking about cutting rates yet, there are still some talking about hiking rates. To a certain point, that will help the carry story for asia. Its not because the boj is now tweaking therefore if money goes back the whole em stories done. Our view is for emerging markets, there are specific stories specifically in asia still positive stories. Growth momentum is still doing well. In the second half for the likes of north asia, we are looking for tech to come back. We are seeing flows come back already and in our view, that will still be a positive driver. As long as the u. S. Doesnt enter into a hard landing scenario which is what markets most fear that the market is not present this point in time, then i think dollar asia can still had downwards. All that suggests we would still seat recovery for the yuan. Is there something more to it . One has been an interesting story. Through the early part of this year, there was a time when won was outperforming by a lot. Recently there was a story about superconductors in korea. We are not very sure about that, however fundamentally think about the story for korea, i think the story is improving. The past two months numbers for korea, we are seeing widening in the trade surplus. From the current account perspective, the flows are positive. The issue for the won is it is still economically tied to china. It is still a high beta to risk. When risk pulls back to certain extent like what we saw yesterday, then korea will also be one of the first in line to get hit. The flipside of that is if risk comes back strongly, we think dollar korea will be one of the fastest currencies to go down. Fundamentally, we are constructive on the won. We think we are close to a turn. Above 1300 we think is too high so our focus is we are looking for it to go back low 1300. That should be relatively easy for korea. Great to have you with us here in person. Coming up, a program to step up lenders involvement in Digital Assets. We get the latest on crypto next.

With a new Supervision Program for banks, su keenan joins us with the latest. Some might ask why the fed . Wouldnt the sec and other entities be more in the forefront . Who have to member that a lot of the banks had to do with the lender affiliation and clients who were or related to crypto firms. This is about heightened scrutiny over this kind of activity. The issued guidelines of crypto, how banks can be involved in this. The program will oversee activities involving Digital Assets and Blockchain Tech by lenders overseas. They will also focus on partnerships with firms that are not lenders like fintech companys. The fed, afghan see, office of control over the currency all detailed concerns Digital Assets and the time said is important that risk that cant be controlled the allowed to migrate to banks. Some crypto supporters have been saying all of this regulation soup has been hostile to the crypto industry but the fed said tuesday their goal is to provide oversight for the banks activities. They also said charter banks must also get the fed signoff before issuing holding or transacting in stablecoins to facilitate payments. Finally, these guidelines by the fed could affect banks that are located in crypto friendly states because the fed has Greater Authority in terms of rick waiting regulating those banks.

Sam bankmanfried has pled guilty to what has been called one of the biggest frauds and american history. Earlier today we asked an expert about his dealings with sam bankmanfried. We lost money. We used it as an exchange. People ask if you didnt invest your larry. I was like i just never assumed im dealing with a sociopath. Sam bankmanfried is facing trial in october.

We work shares tumbling in late trade after their substantial doubt about the ability to continue operating. Lets bring in vonnie quinn. We know they have been struggling for years especially after the pandemic. You mentioned the stock post marketrate down. It was already less than 21 percents per share. . 21 per share. We were here in 2020 after the board pushed out the founder and it had to undergo major restructuring. That has just been complete. It went public october 2021. Someone took over and he tried to right the ship. That restructuring did include striking a deal with some of the biggest creditors and cutting its debt by 1. 5 billion dollars extending other maturities. Data showed the bonds traded at deeply distressed levels. Especially host covid when returned to office is in question and difficult for companies anyway. Nunnally that, but one leader two leaders left as well. The company is looking for a permanent ceo and a statement that was issued said that it would be trying to work on renegotiating leases. Its a question whether it will survive the next 12 months. We were just talking about soft and vision fund getting on its feet. How does the bankruptcy filing for we work play out . It was almost a pet investment. We signed finally saw him come out of the agm and he was asked about we work and he put his hands to his heart out. Other executives told him it was not a great investment but he went ahead with it anyway. The biggest investor, the biggest shareholder 12 billion invested. It took hair cut when everybody else did in the restructuring and it has loaned millions of dollars to we work. Softbank executives are definitely scratching their heads tonight. New york times did report a couple of months ago around the time the restructuring was taking place that the ceo was getting a little bit frustrated that he couldnt get his attention and he was annoyed at how long it was taking for softbank to allow the restructuring to happen but all that has gone away now that the ceo is also going away.

Copper will run out if you believe in the forecast growth. And i do. It feels like for the energy transition, you have to have a lot of copper. In the shortterm, it was pretty dismal trade data out of china. Copper is getting hot hardhit today. What is your take on china . The point is we will not see china go back to where it was. Very big component of the Global Economy. It is a consumer of all metals. But also, think we have to be minded by the fact that if we get a bolder better world for everyone, we need to invest in development so all metals are important. Copper is the most strategic of all the metals. Whatever you do, if you want to green the world, green the grids, industrialize in a more modern more userfriendly way, copper is key and we dont have enough of it. That is really important. What we have is real organic growth. Barrick gold is looking to grow its gold equivalent copper organically. Take a look at how gold prices traded in the newark session.
