The japanese prime ministe declaring a state of emergency in seven prefectures the aim there is to reduce movement by 70 to 80 . The government approving on the stimulus package as well this just crossing as well around 1 trillion the japanese market closed up already. It was around 2 before as we were getting these headlines out about the japanese Prime Minister shanghai after the break, it was closed for the Public Holiday. Also in hong kong as well. Look at south korea.

Julianna tatelbaum is standing by in london with the latest good morning. European markets are rallying this morning the main benchmark gained 3. 7 now we are seeing a really broad based rally take place there is a stronger demand for cyclical parts of the market taking early signals that the pandemic could be easing in parts of europe that were hardest hit, the likes of spain and italy. Youve got travel and leisure and auto performing very strongly as investors put money back into those stocks on the flip side, health care, it has been very well bid in the last few weeks is underperforming. On the back of some of the macro suppliers and more companies tabing measures to shore up their balance sheet. Aerospace industry with more on their balance sheet. Sticking with the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was moved to the icu yesterday as his coronavirus symptoms took a turn for the worst. He was diagnosed more than a week ago we have the latest on the uk Prime Minister it was the 27th of march as you say when Boris Johnson was diagnosed with positive test for coronavirus. Last friday, april 3, he said he was continuing with selfisolation because his symptoms were persisting we heard he had been transferred. That hospital was since confirmed but from 7 00 p. M. Yesterday, the Prime Minister was transferred to an intensive care unit after his conditions were getting worse we understand with a fever and a cough. We understand he was given several litters of oxygen. They say the move to icu was precautionary but the availability of a ventilator being on hand was needed who is running the country yesterday, at lunch time, we had the Prime Minister looking at messages and tweeting he was receiving good coverage and health care and that he was in good spirits but then later on, now dominic raab who is the 46yearold foreign secretary of state would be deputizing for the Prime Minister if and when necessary. In the United Kingdom, we do not have a formal plan of succession as you talk about what dominic raab plans to do or get done in the absence of the Prime Minister, what is first on the agenda as Boris Johnson recovers in the icu the key here is to reach the peak of the coronavirus and to get beyond that peak whether it is new york, italy, france or spain, same in the United Kingdom last night, we had confirmed another 429 fatalities in the uk total taking it up to 5,373. At the moment, they are making sure there are enough icu beds we have seen a brandnew hospital built from scratch in nine days by the british army of engineers. So it is getting more icu beds and testing beds that has been a criticism, not having enough tests. Of course getting workers in enough ppe equipment these are the priorities thank you very much to washington, d. C. Where talks of a fourth stimulus package is gaining attention. After word that a white house official who sounded the alarm here tracie potts has more. Good morning. That was the u. S. Trade rep peter navarro. He wrote a paper warning that a pandemic that as many as half a Million People could die without aggressive action. He said americans could be left defenseless against a fullblown coronavirus saying that this could evolve into a fullblown pandemic and imperiling the lives of millions of americans his memo went to the National Security council we dont know if President Trump saw it himself speaking of President Trump, he is saying he is now willing to back some sort of stimulus package that they think needs to include, as nancy pelosi said, over a trillion for Small Businesses, more for extended unemployment insurance, including funds for food stamps and perhaps a second round of direct payments for americans struggling to make ends meet noticeably missing from that list is infrastructure projects. Something pelosi may be backing off of to get support of republicans in the senate. President trump saying there is a light at the end of the tunnel with regard to Coronavirus Vaccine and Treatment Research is there any sense right now of even more positives tilted towards that angel and anymore messages from the white house to that effect in the coming days good question we dont know if they are going to try to pack some money for increased research into the second stimulus. Certainly, they are working on it the fda is working on it trying to get the vaccine out as quickly as possible. We have known from the beginning that will be a longterm effort. That is taking an impact right now. Thank you very much live from washington, d. C. With the latest all of this is coming as the u. S. Death toll from coronavirus hits 10,000 for the first time rahel solomon with the latest. In light of that number, the nations cop disease expert dr. Fauci said the world may not ever get back to normal. Despite the number of therapies and vaccines in the pipeline, quote, if you want to get to precoronavirus, that may never happen because the threat is there. President trump has struck a i deal to buy millions of face masks from 3m. Under the deal, this he will import 166 Million Masks over the next three months primarily from its factories in china. The 350 program launched on friday saying the Small Business administration used to process loan applications crashed yesterday. And reporting that banks also still dont have a key form needed President Trump addressed this issue at yesterdays White House Briefing as of today, tens of thousands of Small Businesses applied for more than 40 billion in relief under the p paycheck protection program. It has really been performing well a couple of minor clicglitches have been taken care of. We hope that is the case because millions of americans are counting on that relief. Struggling to make ends meet. Thank you. When we come back, why our next guest says despite this weeks big rally, investors may not be out of the woods just yet.

With me now, matt, this is an interesting move some folks thought wed see a little bit of a pause. It doesnt seem to be happening that way does this mean the allclear sign is out there . I dont think it does we are involved in a process that started off with investors deleveraging well also see where these Companies Start to deleverage adding a lat of leverages. A lot of that went to issues that arent going to service that debt. In other words, stock buy backs. As we go into recession, youll see conditions deleverage and another way down im curious, the deleveraging and forced sellout, a lot of that seems like it already happened is it still the case that they are aggressively long and need to unwind and is that pretty much behind us a lot of that has already been done, no question we saw that in 2018 where we had one woosh. A lot of people dont realize how the economy has levelled up. Number one and number two, usually when you have a bare market we saw that in 2008 and 2000 where the market rallied on every trace just 50 of the sell off only to roll back over and make a new low the chances of that sell off make that high that should make it to this point up 50 of the initial selloff. That will roll back over this will be much more than just a correction there for the process that will take long tore play out it will happen quicker than in the past you laid out a con instruct that is your best cased scenario what are you buying, selling and what are you waiting for and aggressively positioning for as well one of the things you cant do is catch that exact bottom. Ive been saying to buy for investors to go in to really wellrun companies, buy them on a strict scale down basis. You buy some at the lows, which i was saying, then you look to buy another down maybe 5 . You are never going to be everything you want to buy but youll build a nice base at a time when people are really starting to sell most bare markets have a rally just like i think we are starting now to get people to say, oh, this is it. Then it fails and people really say i give up. Matt, thank you for those thoughts still on deck, another hit for boeing as it halts plane production at a key u. S. Factory. Well be right back.

Questions remain with weather the u. S. Will take part in an effort to affect prices. An agreement on output cuts will only be finalized if the u. S. Actually agreed to take part more on that story as it develops to washington, d. C. Now as a fourth stimulus package develops as one highranking u. S. Official sounded the alarm of the potential coronavirus months before it manifested itself. Eam eamon javers with us good morning. The big one is this reporting of the New York Times overnight officials have been saying that nobody could have predicted the scale of the disaster here it turns out one highranking official was predicting pretty much exactly what we have seen as early as january and february peter navarro, the u. S. Trade advisor wrote these papers in january and february the one written in february detailing the level of disaster the u. S. Could face. Saying, increasing probable of a fullblown covid19 pandemic that could infect as many as 100 million americans with the loss of life of as many as 1. 2 million souls. Saying the main action the United States needed to take was a ban on travel to china for up to 12 months some white house officials see navarro as the ultimate china hawk so these may have been dismissed as peter being peter that he was latching on to events in the news to back up his antichina casein side the white house. The administration did not cease on those back in january and february the white house said it was impossible to see this coming at the time navarros mem or went on to detail the lack of ppe, the equipment, needed in the United States we have new data with regards to how much people are affected by this. A new states of place survey looking at the economy tell us what those results tell us about how americans feel about their own economic stability. You see the change in attitudes from inside the white house with those memos being more or less ignored the same thing is playing out in the general public take a look at some of these findings fascinating results. If you look back to march 11 at the job market survey. This is a battleground poll. In march versus april, it changes dramatically at the blue and red lines there. Just a total reversal of Public Opinion on the job market from good to poor if you look at how the economy is perceived across states even though we are seeing that change from good to poor, we are also seeing a disparity in terms of different states. North carolina more positive than florida or michigan that may have some battleground state implications for the general election people changing on a dime here in terms of their perspective on the economy. We are seeing that happen in different states at different times. Very rap iid developments. Back to the markets now. One stayathome stock getting a lot of attention in recent weeks zoom shares up over 1200 the focus right now is all about new users to the platform. Firsttime users, they heard about zoom they are using zoom, we make sure we have a customer settings when they read some article with regards to the password, they may get frustrated we needed to enforce settings on firsttime users my next guest ses the stock has more room to fall even from here with an underperform rating joining me is Credit Suisse managing director brad zelnick it is hard to believe weve changed a paradigm of work in just a month many of these Companies Like zoom have been riding high what is the situation involving zoom and why youdo downgraded it caller this is a tactical move zoom is a Great Company and they are doing something something but 40 times calendaryear revenue. The most expensive name in Software Even if we look at the most optimistic scenarios, we just dont think it warrants ownership. We see down side to the 105 target price and even lower than that in some of our other scenarios. I like Many Americans have now looked at other Video Conferencing platforms google hang outs my daughters class is now starting to do classroom zooms i dont pay for any of those, how does zoom make money off it. Im still not a paying customer but im using the platform thats exactly the right question zoom is one of the superheroes my children as well are being virtually schooled here using zoom theyve talked about a 20fold increase in usage since december we need to ask ourselves, how many of your 50 closest friends you insight to a zoom cocktail party, how many of those will they be able to monday ties. Maybe the host for 15 or 20 a month. We look at the department of education, they put a pause on the use of zoom for all 300,000 students even in the case where you have a teacher teaching a classroom of 30 students at best, they might monetize that one teacher if we look at what zoom was just months ago, this was the greatest most disrupted corporate Video Conference platform where on average, maybe you had half a dozen attending every you single one of those outside the host doesnt have to pay. Thats where we are coming from. Free users, social gathering, we think that wont match where the stock is before we let you go, we cover a lot of Software Related to the coronavirus now what then is your favorite pick Going Forward .

The death toll from the United States coronavirus has now crossed 10,000 some hot spots are beginning to show signs of progress and improvement in combatting the virus. Rahel solomon has more President Trump is turning up the pressure on india to release a drug that the president has touted calling on the countier to give the u. S. Its orders of the antimall area drug hydroxychloroquine turning to boeing bringing the u. S. Plane production to a halt at the South Carolina facility. This is after the state governor ordered more residents to stay home chrysler is looking to reopen its plant in u. S. And canada on may 4. Fiat along with ford and gm agreed to close all production due to workers fears around the coronavirus. To the United Kingdom now with Prime Minister Boris Johnson was moved to the intensive care unit, the icu as his symptoms took a turn for the worse. He was diagnosed a week ago. Im joined now with dr. Debbie as shes known the whole idea that Boris Johnson, the leader of a developed market country is now in an intensive care unit, what should that tell us about how serious this is . His situation is concerning there are a couple of reasons people get moved to the icu. That could be because they need life support measures or contin continuous monitoring. It could be, a lot of these patients have severe shortness of breath. Sometimes you can give them a medication that might reduce that it could be that hes otherwise okay but needs medications for comfort and hes put someone else in charge because he doesnt want to make major changes while on these medications. Or the idea that he is affected and mihis lungs and heart need be monitored more closely. Weve heard that hes not on a ventilator but is getting oxygen is that consistent with the cases we are seeing in these hot spots . Not necessarily that there on a ventilator but need around the clock care yes i have heard of some cases where people are given an oxygen tank and sent home. I think maybe they are taking more precautions because he is a world leader the heart and lungs Work Together to take oxygen around the body to the brain. He probably needs more monitoring in terms of his oxygen levels and he might need some noninvasive vent lags they may be watching how the heart rate and vital signs are doing along with that. Dr. Debbie, while we have you here, following developments in new york state where the death toll has surpassed 600 does a higher fine or more punitive damage result in more positive results in social distancing in your mind . I think thats the goal we want to achieve. Im not sure well actually do that right now in new york, this is such a hot spot. People know they should be social distancing. The reason they are not is powerful some reports we are get are from funerals people are wanting to get outside because they are struggling with depression, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, addictions im sure drug dealers are outdoing business. The Opioid Crisis didnt go away because of this. Im not sure if the fines are the most effective way first because of the people involved second in terms of law enforcement, our First Responders are used to saving lives. They are now seeing death all around them. Im not sure theyll go after people to ticket them.

Is actually stabilizing more from jewel the btg managing director is more downside ahead caller certainly the response to the fact that science tifficly, we appear to be nearing the apex in the new york area. Weve seen the apex in both italy and spain. We perhaps ideally like to see the gains mod rate a little more it does make us feel better that the chances are increasing that the march low may have been the low. We do expect another bout of weakness the vix is not something we talk about often but in this case here, it is a measure of volatility at the highs, we were near 80. It is now about 40 what does that tell you in terms of volatility in the markets caller what it actually tells us is the degree of the frantic and panicked selling, even if we do pull back more, it will be diminished in part of the healthy process. If you do pull back the vix is going to respond less forcefully than it did. The nasdaq tends to be a bit more volatile. When we see that slip like it does now, it shows more concern out there. When it means reverse and the s p 500 goes lower, that is very positive to the markets looking out. Just a few months, your favorite and least Favorite Places to invest right now we think in an environment that the laggards starts to leave puts us towards financials and energy with all the market stimulus could end up with close to 20 of global gdp and more where they are likely to rise. That is a strong case to financials we have lightened up on consumer st staples that have rallied.
