Bank should have never taken Jeffrey Epstein on as a client as it agrees to pay a 115 million fine. Confirmed drove cases in america have crossed the 3 million mark while the death toll has made the biggest one day jump since early last month. Lets look at the markets as they double down on the concerns around the coronavirus and of course the Economic Impact the European Markets had a contraction. Decent forecasts for investors to rake through just highlighting some of the fears that many have had in the spike of fresh cases we are seeing in terms of the Market Action, we are picking up on the wall street trade and to European Markets that reversed. You can see another modest decline. 1 3 of a percent coming off the benchmark. The sectors and the boards the ftse trade is down by. 2 of a percent. It is a minimal decline. Were hearing further reports around consumption, any further scheme to try to support market businesses that has meant we are just down modestly this is what you are seeing down on the French Market quickly it minimized its losses, too. Now you can see 1 4 of a percent. The spanish market down 1. 2 trying to flat line italy. Pushing to the green still trapped by what youre seeing in the rest of the markets. The smi is down by 1 3 lets get into some of those sectors. You can see three patches of green. That is an improvement the basic resources up. 2. Telecon is rising and food and beverages. The banks right at the bottom, that is a strong reverse of 1. 6 travel and leisure down more than 1 . Real estate, one of the weaker ones, too, on the boards today in contrast to the red youre seeing in europe, Chinese Markets are on an absolute tear. Weve seen the curve break out of a range a huge spike theres been a lot of cheerleading by the government to get behind the bull market as its been described. Keep in mind we had a small gain last week. Its such a stunning curve worth taking a look at the question is whether were going back over history. The government encouraged investors into the market. We are wondering whether we are in dicey territory for some investors. The shenzhen 1 higher the csi wrapped up the trade yesterday 1. 6 lets go to Daniel Morris. Joining the conversation this morning. It feels as though theres a little bit of coronavirus thats set in with the fresh spikes that were seeing in covid19 cases. Thats upset by a huge trade in the Chinese Markets. You know, i guess at this point youve had such rallies, u. S. Equities looking for what the next surprise is going to be in europe. Clearly at this point thats more likely to be a negative surprise all of the information around new cases and deaths not only in the u. S. But we need to Pay Attention to whats happening in australia melbourne locking down and australia a case that handled the pandemic successfully. I think we ser receive all of the risks around us. Then you look at whats happening in china as you point out, the parallels are quite different. Certainly seem to be there the only thing that is a little bit better is back in 1516 you saw a fairly significant distance between a domestic giant in the market and say, for example, the msci market went up very, very quickly as we know, the other markets not so much. So far youre seeing all three markets move in parallel if theres going to be a warning sign we need to be looking for, its whether or not theyre opening up a gap between the indices which might suggest things are driven by normal factories. Daniel, were on the cusp of earnings season for the Second Quarter. Estimates declined at 43 odd percent which is staggering. Do you think investors will stay away from areas that are bid up or are they going to double down in areas Like Technology and health care . Without question, the best are the things that were stressed the most. Weeks ago we were concerned about valuations if we were concerned about valuations a few weeks ago, youll be more concerned now the outperformance in technologies in the u. S. Versus the rest of the market might be at risk. Theyre seeing that they should go weve already, i think, anticipated its priced in a lot of the longer term growth implications for the sector. In a sense that wont matter the investors are going to cling to whatever information they can get. That may be limited and a lot of companies will bring guidance. Whether they will feel more comfortable isnt clear. Whatever guidance we will get the markets will trade on that the other thing that will matter in the earnings, you get earnings from prices i think it is worth remembering that in the first quarter, analysts had marked down their estimates dramatically, the numbers were varied. There were positive surprises. What we need to take down is repeating the quarter, earnings down and not quite as bad as expected thats something that could support equities daniel, given the visibility that companies and management have going forward, clearly investors will be watching the macro data as the u. S. Moves to pause various lockdown liftings and even reverse lockdowns in some places, should we expect the data to turn worse if it does, what does this mean for equity markets whats your take on what theyre actually pricing in at this stage . Well, i think theyre pricing in a smoother path out of the lockdowns were likely to see. In terms of data to watch, i would Pay Attention to the weekly jobless claims. I think we appreciate and youre starting to see businesses that are opening, not opening or if theyre opening, having to close. Well see what kind of impact that is on the labor market. Whats driven the swings in the economy over the last six months has been a collapse of prices met. Everything thats happened with the unemployment rate. If you see then initial jobless claims start to pick up suggesting that people are losing their jobs, thats certainly something that could pull the rug a bit we need to assess exactly what that means so far its really been limited to not opening restaurants, closing restaurants, the leisure sector and Dining Services if you look at that part of the economy, 3. 5 of the whole u. S. Economy. Even then, reversals and pauses in the lockdowns are not happening everywhere a decent part of the u. S. But not the whole population youre talking about measures that impact a couple Percentage Points of the u. S. Economy it really shouldnt be meaningful it shouldnt necessarily affect earnings, growth or expectations for most of the market what could change is if they start spreading to other parts of the economy if you start seeing stay at home orders like youre seeing in australia, thats clearly a different ball game. More like what we went through in march and april that would be out of line with the behavior that weve had in the market over the last several weeks. Just coming back looking at europe where the virus appears to be largely under control, how dependent is the european recovery on the u. S. Recovery . In other words, if we do see the u. S. Move into reverse, does that prevent the european recovery, European Market reaction from turning more positive you have to think about the correlation between the two and like i said, it seems unlikely if you saw any kind of correction or downturn in the u. S. Market that european equities are there the performance in europe has lagged by performance. That said, that might be where europe is better more restrictive, less in place for longer, hence, the negative positions we just had for the outlook for european gdp of the year the good news is theyre coming out of the lockdowns now in a position that is arguably stronger and less of a risk of second waves again, we know that isnt necessarily going to persist, but at this point arguably europe is in a better place relative to the u. S. Even though theyve suffered more up to now. If you did see a bigger shock in the u. S. , certainly going to hurt europe in the shorp term but it might actually allow european equities to outperform. Thank you for sharing with us this morning Daniel Morris with us, Senior Investment strategist. In corporate news, more than 100 perspective investors are looking to buy wire Cards Holdings among the potential suitors is deutsche bank. Deutsche bank itself has been slapped with a 150 million fine for its dealings with late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein new york state regulators said the german lender was guilty of significant compliance failures for processing payments to his coconspirators and facilitating suspicious cash withdrawals.

He added that washington will address concerns of the beijing in coming weeks. U. S. Is investigating claims that tiktok did not honor an agreement to protect childrens privacy. In the statement tiktok said it introduced additional privacy measures adding that it takes safety seriously for all users. U. S. Vice president mike pence is vowing to take a strong stance against Companies Like huawei and tiktok. Argen, tackling the privacy. Theres been a lot of history here so the regulator has a playbook thats one thing but quite separate to what the u. S. Government is attempting to do in terms of stopping access to platforms. Reporter on the privacy front you have the added layer, particularly from the u. S. Side that this is a company that is observed by a chinese firm so the big concern here when were talking about privacy is not just what data is being collected on american users but more than that, its where is that data going to the concern from washington is that tiktok is gathering all of this user data and sending it to beijing and the Chinese Government is using that for whatever purposes it has tiktok says it doesnt send any american data to china, its all stored in the u. S. And would never give any data over to the Chinese Government as well that really is the big concern when it comes to the privacy point. You have to remember, this is a bigger context you mentioned huawei there at the start. Its part of a broader tech battle were seeing playing out between china and the u. S. Whats interesting is with huawei, these are big infrastructure we dont want any Chinese Companies in our network because we feel thats a National Security threat, but whats interesting is they havent gone after necessarily Internet Services yet or internet companies. Tiktok is really the first one and the u. S. May argue, well, were just doing what china is doing to our companies, the likes of google, facebook, twitter blocked on the chinese main land. Expect to see a ramp up. This is just a threat so far from the u. S it hasnt been carried out it could be a potentially big blow u. S. Is a critical market. Its coming after the fact that tiktok has been banned in india. India is tiktoks Largest International market thats a huge blow and the u. S. Is also a major market if it gets banned there, it could lose a lot of users and revenue and that is a big concern. This he have tried to appease the international markets. They brought in an american ceo in the form of kevin myer, former executive at disney theyre going to quit the Hong Kong Market because of a new National Security law. Trying to distance themselves from their Chinese Company they have a lot to do and a lot of conversations with regulators to appease them and make them feel tiktok is a responsible company. It did seem that tiktok was trying to put distance between itself and the mainland but now the backlash from the United States is because its a chinese platform is quite extraordinary. What did they tell us about user data there have been questionable practices in america around user data what does that mean in the future in terms of the Global Nature that technology has been . Is that not going to be the case with borders going up with social media firms now reporter yes lets just take europe very well karen, you know this very well, the gdpr regulation that came in, that was very much about protecting European Union user data, making sure they have control, where its stored, where it is being used borders will be put up it wouldnt be unusual if the americans asked any Foreign Companies working in america to make sure that data is stored in the u. S. And they can see where it is going. More and more there will be silos around data and how they operate. More and more regulation coming in the regulators over in the u. S. Are discussing the use of data, privacy and are scrutinizing the big american tech firms as well their use of data. You will see that more than likely it will become a lot more difficult and onerous for these American Technologies to operate around the world it is a huge company multibillion Dollar Company they can deal with whatever comes at them in terms of regulation, they have the legal teams, they have the infrastructure in place that deals with the data centers, et cetera if theres going to be anyone who can handle anymore regulation, it will be Big Technology firms. Its quite stunning if Chinese Companies, we could be talking about Gaming Companies down the track, dont have access to other markets like the United States because there are fears about the data that is being collected, that is an extraordinary turn of events the single function on huawei, were waiting for the u. K. About the level of engagement from the Chinese Company. It seems like the signals all turning against chinese vendors particularly huawei being the one front and center for people that theyve been watching. Reporter yeah, its quite interesting i thought. Its been over a year and a half since the americans came out and theyve been campaigning around the world for huawei to be blocked in a number of markets what you saw at the start was a couple followed suit with the u. S. , the likes of australia and japan. Others in europe thought we can handle the risks of huawei they recommended that huawei could play a limited role in the u. K. s network has now reportedly changed its stance and that was due to the u. S. Sanctions that came into place which is looking to cut off huawei from some of its chip suppliers using American Technology to make the chips what gchq says, huawei has to look elsewhere as an intelligence organization. Thats been a big change the u. S. Has continued to pile pressure on huawei continued to back it up with sanctions. Were making a lot more countries look at these companies and turn away from them in the 5g networks. These are networks that will be next Generation Mobile networking equipment its not just about high data speeds its about Critical Data infrastructures. Theyre looking and going, wow, were not sure given what the u. S. Has said, given some of the sanctions whether we can trust some of these firms. Like dominos with sanctions indications with software and security thank you for setting that up for us, argen. Lets push on to brazil and the latest is that the president Jan Bolsonaro has tested positive for coronavirus this after he denied medical experts and downplayed the severity of the pandemic he experienced symptoms over the weekend but was feeling very well now later he was shown taking the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine brazil remains one of the worst affected countries in the world with over 66,000 deaths and more than 1. 5 million cases and in latest developments from w. H. O. , the organization has acknowledged there is evidence emerging of the Novel Coronavirus airborne spread. The admission comes after a group of scientists put pressure on the organization to update its guidance on how the respiratory disease is passed. Over 230,000 experts said virus particles can float infecting people that breathe them in. In contrast to the previous w. H. O. Statement saying they sink to the ground lets come to the latest on vaccines novavax has signed a deal with the government operation warp speed worth up to 1. 6 billion it hit a 52week high. Novavax has now secured more federal funds than any other Company Working on the vaccine they said funding would help accelerate trials. This is a company thats never brought a product to market. A Maryland Company thats never had any product going to market. Just from the u. S. Perspective, trying to very much get a finger in the pie making sure it has access to any vaccine that could be successful. This is the latest one its putbacking behind it is certainly significant. It hopes to accelerate any method to get that vaccine to 34er7bs if they come up with a successful one, they hope it will be very quick for americans. U. K.

We tried to cut the losses from the start of the session the ftse trying to follow europe weaker investors are keeping an eye and later on trying to shore up the economy and wide ranging measures to support consumption, property market, businesses that have been hard hit the market in case we may see something that pushes the market north on positive news later today. French markets down half a percent. The dax is a weaker trade. All of this in contrast to a spanish market down 1. 3 gains slim gains trending higher the smi also up.

Gold safe haven trade has been very evident. Youve seen it as gold has been hovering around the peak we bounce about 1 4 of 1 . A strike against job cuts is due to take place at the headquarters of airbus this morning. Members of management are Meeting Union representatives. Lets go out to Charlotte Reed 15,000 job cuts are slated theres been a push back by unions theyve cited concerns around subcontractors and a message that sends across europe reporter right, karen. 15,000 jobs have been announced by airbus with job cuts. 1 3 of those in france alone and half of those jobs in france would be at headquarters where are the strikes are being held this morning the union warned it would be an almighty fight to save those jobs it is the gravest crisis that the industry was going through, that it had to make tough decisions. The job cuts had been part of it the unions when the job cuts were announced, we heard from the french government at the time they put a support package for the aerospace industry, 15 billion euros have been put there, including 7 billion for air france they also have, of course, a stake, 11 stake when the job cuts went out in airbus, they said they were excessive. I quote the ministry on the day the cuts were announced. They say given the support measures that have been put in place, they were hoping that 2,000 out of the 5,000 job cuts could be saved so here we saw that airbus had to be deal with this headwind with the french government and the negotiations starting on the job cuts thats meant to be done swiftly. Summer 2021. Pretty swift process for the job cuts airbus said they would do a lot of these job cuts through voluntary redundancy as well as retirement, but they havent ruled outcome pull sorry redundancies this is where the negotiations really will be focusing on, whether there will be some compulsory redundancies, of course, with a watchful eye of the union and french government. Theyre dealing with a whole wave of job cuts in the country. There are strikes at nokia, france, where they also announced some cuts. Heavy job cuts in the country. Some of the first social plans of job cuts being announced again and in france, the new french government having to deal with these announcements and job cuts and the repercussions on the economy. Charlotte, you mentioned a couple of european champions, airbus and nokia french president macron has been producing european champions the u. K. , Significant Developments as the u. K. Chancellor announced fresh measures to work on the recovery they are creating jobs for young people, reserve employment with helping the hardest hit companies and reducing taxes the furlough scheme has seen 9 million applications the treasury is considering a vast cut of the a. T. For the Hospitality Industry which has only partially reopened. The chief economist at the global asset manages steven, its been hard to get a handle on what the changes look like today if you read the copy so far we are waiting for the detail from the chancellor. What would be market moving in an announcement today . Hes got to go further than the very comprehensive leaks to the media that have been coming out. Obviously this Job Retention scheme for the young is quite important. It was quite successful, a smaller scale scheme in the Global Financial crisis worked pretty well for young people theyre the ones getting hit hard with possibly permanent unemployment thats the first one the dat cut is interesting housing is not a big deal. Also this talk of Voucher Scheme where we all get 10 pounds 15, 12 to go down to a restaurant, which is a very odd idea if he came up with that, i think there may be a few jokes about it in general the u. K. Has seen to have a bad virus, lots of deaths we could see some significantly better use i think the data is going to get better and i think its going to look a lot better in the next few weeks and in the u. K. A lot of points to pick up on, steven people are taking the vouchers down to the pub and capture it do you want to be stimulating that at this point we know theres been a cautious approach to get the bars and restaurants back open and covid crisis how careful does the government need to be about these catchy initiatives . Yes encouraging people to go down to the restaurant and the pub seems madness in a way allowing them, thats one thing. Actually giving them a 10 pound batch is seemed a bit bonkers to me the big news for the u. K. Will be if the oxford vaccine works, theyre going to release the results probably next week the signs are quite encouraging. Thats a game changer. That could change dramatically the situation in the u. K. And the u. S. , by the way, who have 300 million doses. It would be a massive medical break through with professor Sarah Gilbert would up doubt tedly be person of the year if she managed to pull this off thats something we dont know yet but thats something were watching for. Keep your fingers crossed around these, david. The copy market. You were dismissive here weve been talking about the transaction costs of changing properties just extraordinary despite brexit, the uncertainty in the plunge in house cries now might be the time. Why are you so dismissive when we have seen a little bit of move in the home builder stocks earlier on this week im dismissive of it from a Public Policy point of view. If i waited a few weeks and ive had my very hefty bill cut so for an individual its quite a big deal in terms of a genuine improvement in the Housing Market, all it does is allow people to have higher prices prices are already pretty high the Housing Market was pretty vigorous just before the collapse of the economy with the lockdown so the low Interest Rates are feeding through, will feed through if you look at the data, there really is pent up demand for housing transactions coming through so, yes, youll probably do it. It will be warmly welcomed rather better off spending the money in other ways that have a more longterm benefit that might expand out towards improved trading and things like that rather than giving people who are buying a house a bit of a windfall im in favor of it for me personally, but in general i dont think its a great idea. Steven, i want to look at the hospitality sector in a little bit more detail. You already discussed pubs and the potential vouchers as part of the scheme that we could see unveiled, but weve already had a little bit of the early data come through as nonessential shops reopened football, the recovery in football was actually relatively weak in cities that were very densely are very densely populated with Office Workers because so many Office Workers continue to work from home so how much can we actually see this part of the economy recover if those higher paid Office Workers continue to work remotely well, thats a very good point. In the city of london where our office is, ive been in there once since the lockdown for i. T. Reasons. It was like a ghost town of course, yes, all those highly priced restaurants are empty theyre not going to go back if you need public transport, youre going to hesitate you only use it if its empty. A capacity for an office of probably 25, 30 if youre going to inflict social distancing that limits the recovery there in terms of the overall economy, you know, total spending is not going to collapse because people cant get into the city or cant get into the centerman chester i think you have to realize until or unless we get the vaccine or eliminate the virus, many things will be con strained partly by supply, partly by demand what we want to avoid is an overall collapse in the economy. There will be some money in the hospitality sector for sure. You cant change the need to respond to the virus talking about this interim period, this bridge between now and hopefully getting a vaccine, a lot of the focus is around unemployment and whether onc these furlough schemes begin to wind down we see a surge in unemployment numbers and sunac is expected to focus those efforts on youth unemployment. Im curious if we do see these measures come through how much this will actually mitigate the job losses that we could see towards the end of the year when these schemes roll off well, i think you raise a very critical point. The furloughs steep completely novel for the u. K you know, germans had Something Like this before, but nothing in the u. K. Amazing scheme with 1 3 of the work force benefitting from it it was a stopgap measure. There was no way you could run this very much longer. The question is banks have had an enormous forbearance. Extraordinary, Rapid Reaction that didnt happen, by the way, in the Global Financial crisis it would be much quicker and much needed. The question is when that artificial support is removed, will we get a wave of bankruptcies, unemployment and so forth my guess is were getting such a big uplift from the peptup demand that will end up being sustainable. People will have to rebuild finances, corporates, individuals who run down savings and debts. There will be a headwind my guess is well be back to normal levels of Economic Activity by the end of next year if the vaccine comes, it will happen quickly. When do we need to stop worrying about debt . So far weve seen the chancellor take brittains borrowing to levels should we be concerned as we continue to dig into the coiffeurs . This is a major issue for everybody and many analysts and forecasters, oh, were going to get inflation, were going to get rising Interest Rates. I dont agree. When i was at the treasury many years ago we actually looked at having a Government Debt target and i looked at the history. You have 300 years of history of u. K. Debt and its been all over the place. 350 of gdp, virtually zero. I could find no impact on Economic Performance from having a high debtor low debt i dont think its an issue. Remember right now, u. K. Interest rates along with most Government Bond yields are tiny, 5 year yields and lower are tiny thats something were going to have to see an improvement from the economy i78 proving and extraordinary measures running off so the debts will come down. The need for discretionary fiscal tightening, i dont see it not next year. Certainly not this year. Steven, thank you very much chief economist at bmo global asset management.

Results for the Second Quarter coming next week theyre forecasting profits will plunge 43 this will put the market into an earnings recession as lockdown measures continue to weigh over the economy. Energy is expected to lead the way. Both projected to lead declines. A quick look at u. S. Futures ahead of the session trading has been going up. Futures for the major Market Indices after losses suffered across the board lets bring in david kelly, thank you very much for joining us for the conversation. Wanted to get into the earnings season because clearly the Second Quarter is going to be a strange one with lockdowns initially and the reopening with pentup demand now as we expect forecasts from some of the corp rates, it might be a strange one what are you looking at from Corporates Companies are finding they have to provide some guidance. I think the analyst estimates have you too optimistic. Partly because theyre not getting guidance from companies and i think well get some ugly numbers in the Second Quarter. I think also a large note of caution for many of the industries that are most affected by this because the problem is that weve seen a partial bounce back but progress from here is going to be slow. In terms of employment, i think employment gains will slow down a lot from here because a lot of the industries that remain in trouble are going to have a very hard time reopening in a pandemic environment i think corporations are aware of that. Im worried that they dont know whether they will continue. The top output, 600 payments that a lot of workers had received from what ive seen early on, many of the corporates could not forecast theyre pretty good on the supply chain but had no clue as to what the demand story is going to look like arent we going to have to lean into the Consumption Habits for the foreseeable future we potentially cant even trust those numbers. Its going to be hard to do that, particularly Macro Economic data, very hard to interpret and well look at unemployment claims to figure out what the trajectory of the market is. We expect a further Coronavirus Relief bill. Im thinking well get 1 to 2 billion bill i think there will be some further aid for workers but the real problem is still the pandemic its not a matter whether States Reopen or governments need to go back to doing your thing if the virus is rampant, people are not going to be jumping on planes, crowding into restaurants, going to ball games. I think a lot of things that make america tick, the fun stuff in life is going to remain pretty much closed down. Corporations will reflect that in the numbers david, in terms of what happens if and when we do get a vaccine, lets say we do get one later this year in the early part of 2021, when do we actually move past the pandemic . Then there are obviously huge issues around supplying that vaccine to countries who need it. Well, yes also there are issues of compliance in terms of being willing to take the vaccine and issues in the vaccines effectiveness. Some experts here have talked about be good if a vaccine is 70, 75 effective. You might need booster shots at the same time in the United States 1 3 of people said they wouldnt take vaccines if it was essentially chiefly available and they dont trust the vaccine. It will be a multifaceted approach you have to mop up the pandemic. Part of it, reduce the overall numbers in your community through testing, contact tracing, wearing masks, trying to bring those numbers down to very low levels. Then you can leverage that by using a vaccine to further wipe this out i think that will work, but it will work over time of the course of 2021 those countries that are very good at controlling the pandemic now who can roll into 2021 with very low case numbers should be able to mop up the numbers fast but it could take you all of the year to get past the pandemic. There will be winners and losers in terms of who gets out of this first in 2021. Who are the countries, the ones that will emerge as winners . Germany sticks out as one that was aggressive on testing, aggressive on locking down theyve managed the outbreak much better than many velds nations. Thats right. Also the east asian nations, south korea, taiwan, japan so i think they will tend to lead the charge. I think china obviously will also and then in europe there are some countries, as i say, germany. I think my native ireland has done a good job containing the spread of the virus. I think its easier for an island nation to do that i think the United States will come in third. Latin america and some of southern asia, countries like india, pakistan, so forth may not be until 2022 before theyve really got control of this. David, pleasure chatting with you today.
