Finding the good news in that nearly 46000000 unemployed and a new trade war may be brewing not with china here. Lets tell you what a possible to. Have a talk show today so lets go and dive right in. For us in employment numbers are in and the latest figures from the Labor Department reported 1500000 more americans filed for unemployment last week this is up from the expected 1300000 well this also marked the 11th straight weekly decline in applications but also the 13 consecutive weeks or week where jobless claims remain above 1000000 well this is a total of more than 45000000 americans have filed for unemployment as a chronic virus continues to slow the u. S. Economy and with many states reopening and some old jobs are turning the total number of people receiving unemployment actually slightly fell well to talk more about the mark. Its we turn to our panel to mash up the adam last Training Group cohost Christi I Adam lets start with you unemployment data came from came back and its worse than expected but Something Else was also quite unexpected there were getting it were seeing people getting Unemployment Benefits rather that are than there are actual on employed workers how did this happen. So when the cares what was put into effect in march to really loosen the rules on who could go after unemployment which contributes to that but also people who are only considered unemployed if they look for jobs in the last 4 weeks they discount a lot of people who have given up on looking for jobs and with people kind of discouraged by the job market or maybe afraid still get in corona virus theres less people than looking for work plus theres really how much you get paid for unemployment so youre seeing a lot more people get it and thats where that disparity comes in with the numbers where theres more people that are receiving are actually well originally im correct me if im wrong but i believe the unemployment numbers took into account those who werent looking for jobs because of the pandemic is that still the case. I dont believe so i thought of doing it within the last few weeks and then its not. On the stock market now for you but i believe its just the last few weeks i see ok christy meanwhile there are still some huge backlogs in the unemployment payments to millions of americans what is out looking like now. Well right now there are still a lot of americans who lost their jobs during the crisis and theyve been unable to collect their unemployment checks like just on twitter alone you can see from these photos these massive lines in kentucky in the capitol where you have massive lines of people flocking to the State Capitol Early Morning wednesday in order to see person help in person because they havent been able to get on the phone or do it online so most of these days not just kentucky theyve been overwhelmed with the 10s of millions of unemployed Insurance Benefits claims that are filed and most of these systems have been in adequately staffed or just load balance to handle this surge of demand which has resulted in crushing Computer Systems clogged phone lines that further compound the problem so now we have more than 20000000 americans who are currently receiving checks and but many others are still unable to even access their 1st time check and benefits are struggling now to pay for food and rent and now in california where im at the backlog has now officially topped over 1700000. 00 in 2 months so that means 1700000 California Workers who filed claims during those 2 months they are still waiting for their 1st time payments you know you said these lines are form because people cant even get a hold of them but out of going off of this looking at this this backdrop has this expectation for the v. Shaped recovery thats been overly optimistic that people have been expecting how can we get this bounce back in the market and how is it pricing in when new unemployment claims are back up over a 1000000. Its really you know i think when you talk about what you do specific about which. Because this is the stock market which is. And weve seen some. Remind me of the internet bubble of the. Chesapeake energy going to when they were. Just. Rational. Its not natural but if you talk about the economy. Thats not going to give you shit recovery weve got with jobs now and so now that. The world is not going to be better pleased in the stock market its not because the world market view should recover yes. Economy no and i dont think there will be one now its not and its definitely been been this roller coaster of that weve been seeing in the market with the volatility and much like you said with this possible 2nd resurgence kristie let me turn things to a little bit of the tension there has been between china and the United States secretary of state by pompei i just met with chinas top diplomat yang on wednesday what came of this meeting. All right now diplomatic observers are saying that this meeting showed that both nations they do not want their bilateral ties to be derailed especially ahead of the u. S. President ial election so expectations were fairly low for this meeting but at least tempers were kept in check as they discuss very sensitive topics such as taiwan hong kong the china belgium wrote initiative the high tech race the arms race as well as others so afterwards the u. S. Released a statement stressing the importance of american interests and the need for fully reciprocal dealings between the 2 nations across commercial security and diplomatic interactions meanwhile china also released in their statement that it hoped the u. S. Would be accommodative and push their bilateral relations back on track for coordination cooperation and stability and also reiterated that chinas stance on hong kong and taiwan was purely an internal affair and opposes any sort of foreign interference. So now while the meeting was quite tempered theres clearly a strained relationship not to mention the fact that this meeting it was not publicly announced in advance and its still not clear to to this point which side had proposed it to begin with which really highlights the tension and the mistrust right now that now permeate between the worlds number one and number 2 economies and we saw this play over and over again after the trade war which is still in effect theyve only signed a phase one will probably will be seeing the face to anytime soon and i want to move over to commodities when will or will ever the u. S. Shale rebound to prepare endemic levels do you see this happening. I mean. Its not going to be something i see how a near term future. And that goes along with all the should be kind of groove you know to take someone like myself who is important to you for a 100 days im sorry if youre comfortable going out playing golf but i still want to get on and there are. People that i know that have worked in offices their whole lives there. And as the number spike in other areas is something i think that goes with with no not with start up at the office will get there but you know if you ask her yes yes it will come back but the bigger question i worry about these Companies Like your chances which are. You know. The last to come back and thats where you get into a piece of survival look at it you could start to see more and. Companies look to consolidate and. So yeah i do really know but its if i was in that industry and i needed in the near term because i dont think youre getting the Energy Sector has definitely been hurting a lot kristie about a minute left but the u. S. Production has plunged by 600000. 00 Barrels Per Day is this a new normal. It certainly does seem to be the new normal because right now were taking were taking production cuts all around the world and especially places such as the middle east such as russia such as venezuela which rely more much more heavily on the oil economy and then the u. S. So those economies are definitely hurting and at the 1st chance it gets whenever demand actually rises again theyre going to theyre going to be surging oil back into the market thats only going to drive prices down so the u. S. Is going to be more so Collateral Damage in the midst of all of that especially because they are looking for more of these cut out of mesh of the Trading Group and the best cohost christine thank you both for your time today. Thank you. There are now fears the trade war. But a rough between the United States in europe after u. S. Leaders walked away from negotiations over taxing big digital Companies Like google amazon and even facebook will some European Countries plan to move forward with new International Taxes anyway which could then lead to the u. S. To retaliate with tariffs on some of their products were legal journalist molly barrows together with americas a lawyer joins us now with more molly good to see you why are european leaders proposing new International Tax rules. Well there they say its long overdue that there needs to be a major update and over all these International Taxes in order to bring it up to the modern digital era theyre basically looking at big Digital Companies that are based in the u. S. Getting corporately tax in the u. S. But not having to pay corporate taxes anywhere else in the world where they have hundreds of millions of customers and are raking in hundreds of millions of dollars each year so youre being countries have started to levy these digital taxes in the past year and they had them on hold as long as the u. S. Was willing to negotiate well this week u. S. Trade leaders said were not like in this it looks like its going to move forward regardless and they feel like theyre being unfairly targeted essentially because the current rules say you can only be taxed in the country youre producing the product you have to have a physical presence in order to be faced with corporate taxes but these countries are still i mean these companies are raking in a lot of money in these other countries where theyre not based but their customers are because its a digital era and the u. S. Says well if youre going to write these rules to where companies that make a certain amount thats what theyre proposing is that companies that meet a certain income threshold are the ones that are taxed that immediately makes a number of these very Big Companies that are based in the u. S. Targets is what u. S. Trade leaders are saying they feel like theyre being discriminated against so theyre not happy about and thats why they walked away well at least it looked like there was supposed to be a conversation about this weve seen the United States the great wars with other countries in the last couple of years and some took effect he you know he managed to to get into one with. China the worlds 2nd largest economy and that causes a lot of harm to to the economy especially to certain sectors like farmers for example but how is a potential trade war now stemming from this and break it down for us what would that look like with the European Union right like you said cyril we cant afford another trade war with any country at all much less dozens and thats essentially what you could potentially be looking at because theres 140 countries that were part of this group if you will that was trying to negotiate new tax rules and the United States has been seeing this coming for some time its no real surprise that they dont want to participate i think people realize that they dont want to see their Companies Paying taxes but basically what the u. S. Is saying is hey if youre going to if youre going to make us pay taxes which we think are unfair then were going to add tariffs on to your products so some countries say theyre going to wait before they move forward were talking about tax rates of anywhere from 2 and a half percent to 7 percent from countries like italy france hungary a few in many many others but france is saying you know what we dont care that you are the way were going to go ahead move forward with our digital tax i think 3 percent and thats when u. S. Trade leaders said you know what you can do that and then were going to start taxing your goods france including shipping of champagne right basic either i dont like shopping items purses bags or yes only do all the good i think its a shame because much like you said we cant afford another trade were not only because of what weve seen with the u. S. And china but because of what the world is experiencing recessions all over the European Union the United States just turned into one so a lot of companies are countries already hurting but are u. S. Companies still subject to this new tax. Actually no because current tax treaties i mean they are they are they dont have any control over is what im saying current tax trees dont exempt the us from being able to say were not going to pay it i dont know exactly how that will break down if they just keep walking away from negotiations but i dont think this issue is going to go away and thats why there is a real threat of a trade war in the legs you mentioned before. Donald trump president trumps trade war thats ongoing with china this could potentially be a problem here as well because hes. Launched a series of trade investigations into numerous European Countries basically saying hey are you unfairly taxing us if you are then were going to put more tariffs on you so its this tit for tat retaliatory attitude that could potentially lead to even more economic problems not just at home but across the globe so you know u. S. Companies may think they have the choice to walk away but you know the biggest thing that these tax taxes the new tax system actually has going for it is that you know theyre outside the scope of tax treaties so they the u. S. Doesnt really have a leg to stand on to say no we dont want to pay it when there were already taxes implemented over the air bus issues that we saw the United States putting tariffs on certain products from from europe so i mean only only time will tell but it doesnt look like you said like this will go away i hope and pray that we dont come into another tit for tat trade war because again the United States and other World Markets cannot afford any more money barrels contributor with americas lawyer thank you so much for your time. Thanks air. Time now for a quick break but stay here because when we return chairman jerome calif as the Federal Reserve is ready to buy a Corporate Bonds to keep the market moving but critics say it gives the fed too much power to pick winners and then pick loser as we go to break down the numbers that.

If the epidemic continues as a disease the economies will not work we will not have trade tourism. The investments we will have continue with very deep economic crisis. I know. Which.

Is currently working on developing an allocation framework for how these act scenes that would be distributed. Are having a better idea of how the Federal Reserve banks Corporate Bond buying program will play out will corning to fed chairman Jerome Powell the program will entail mostly individual company debt rather than Exchange Traded funds well powell told the House Financial Services committee on wednesday over time will gradually move away from e. T. S. And move to buying bonds powell said its a better tool for supporting liquidity and market functioning well joining us now to discuss the best cohost investigative journalist and michael but lets start with you explain this Corporate Bond buying program to us and exactly how it works you know a lot to talk about here but essentially back in late march the fed announced they were going to embark on really 2 facilities which they said would jump start this 9. 00 trillion dollar corporate debt market and what they said they were going to do was essentially go about buying bonds directly from the issuers in one case and in the other case they with them purchased them on the open market now as you just said that german drone powell on wednesday came back and said that rather than doing that through e. T. S. They would now kind of focus on buying them directly from the issuers themselves so thats kind of the general picture of what this consists of but obviously theres a lot of details when you really look into how the fed is going about doing this and whether or not they even can be doing this under the way that the laws are structured right now it is and its been criticized for it now its a big move on their part from what theyve already done michael what makes this program so unique though compared to other efforts by the fed it to keep this u. S. Economy moving forward. Well 1st of all thanks for i mean the program so 1st of all is the size you know from the wave of the Great Recession already through the peak of that theres a Balance Sheet that was 7 years in duration and instead as you increase by. 3. 00 trillion dollars well you know what in less than a year the feds Balance Sheet increased by 3. 00 trillion dollars it is now 7. 00 trillion dollars in size and by the way the feds Balance Sheet is supposed to be something composed of government guaranteed to get a small city behind to raise your reads is those resupplying funds for the fed funds market which is over right lending between 2 banks but were going to have to get the rate to buy junk bonds collateral is a Loan Obligations treasury and the fed are set up for usual losses and not many people care because stocks are almost back to an all time high. Well Michael Powell is saying that this is to keep markets going to keep market liquid but there is obviously a lot of criticism in this program tell us more yet who is that where the feds mandate i thought it was full employment stable prices of course they replace the president now means 2 Percent Inflation and thats a symmetrical target so now it has to be above 2 were the same duration and amount that it was below 2 and right now the way the fed measures inflation is 0 so this is whats happening now opens the treasury market the Municipal Bond market the Corporate Bond market did jump on the market the c l or did it by proxy the Real Estate Market and the stock market theyre all in this a bubble all by the Federal Reserve if you never see the lego remind you that in 2019 they were reducing the size of the best bells for him surely in to 3. 7 trillion and the wheels fell on the economy it went back to curie and lower rates 3 times from 2 or damn percent 1. 74 percent so the fed is strapped they just never and why this balance is going to grow and grow and grow and so we sat flayed our way into it with all the rates had already been lower and had already been lowered prior to preplan demick but i think people forget thats not i guess the point you bring up a good people forget how much the fed actually how many of these entities the fed actually own but better them go ahead. But only i mean im sorry spent under somebody else or as you went to them for i was watching some other channel a c c n b s i would say the real name of the channel and they should do this with a cent. Is not really know whats in the room because they are not buying as it is oh well market prices below this over the mortgage are sure these mortgage prices we should be very concerned doesnt sound like a free market these days ben michael just pointed out some of the biggest problems right now but theres been other criticisms that indicate that what the federally is doing isnt even legal is that true. Well its not really legal because its exactly what michael just said he made several great points there but essentially what youre talking about is the fed has a mandate for unemployment as he said they deal with Interest Rates they keep those Interest Rates low theres a lot of questions even about the tactics theyve already used in the devaluation of the dollar as a result of what the fed has been doing but heres where this is especially significant is what michael pointed out here is that ultimately the fed right now is buying junk bonds they are buying an essentially bonds that look if you go back to 2008 what was the problem that we had we had bundled junk bonds that is essentially crashed the market the 1st time the fed is now going out and buying these up right now and saying that this does fall within their mandate because essentially the fed is pretending that its mandate is to save the u. S. Economy it is not the mandate of the fed to save the u. S. Economy and by the way when the fed decides unilaterally that this is now its mandate it also means that the fed is deciding what saving the economy equates to and the fed doesnt that have the authority to do that and to decide what it has the authority to buy and to take up so essentially whats happening is the market is being flooded now and the only thing the fed in the past has been allowed to do is buy up these e. T. S and now theyre saying were not going to do that anymore were going to go directly to the issuers of these junk bonds and were going to buy directly from them where is the accountability in that process and there is 0 well about lets turn it over right now to the employment numbers weve talked about this early in the show weve seen the Unemployment Benefits rise to new levels now saying that there should be extended beyond july while others are saying that theyre going to be docked the weekly unemployment check that people are receiving why is that. So essentially whats happened is this that with the Unemployment Insurance and issuance thats been going on since coronavirus came along congress up the amount that people receive by the additional 600. 00 the problem with that is by upping that to 600. 00. Dollars and that was supposed to last until july 31st by doing that youre essentially making it. Basically a better value for someone to be unemployed and receive that check than they were having the job that they lost as a result of coronavirus so there are a lot of workers out there who say right now im making more money through unemployment than what i was getting right by actually going to work so i dont plan to go back to work or im going to hold off as long as i can the problem is yes youre trying to help people in the short term by saying we dont want there to be a big shortfall but what Jerome Powell is telling congress is that is that Congress Needs to extend this and keep it going indefinitely in even give a timetable for when to do it he just says continue with past july and keep it going and if you do that your d. D. Incentivizing businesses to reopen and people to get back into the right force not that i internet dangerous thing thats why investors are so into the market michel last question the fed will probably not lift all companies with so much stimulus that not all factors what does have strong factor that were looking at some stock strong picks in your opinion. Well 1st of the say that ben is very great and hes got great hair. I would say this that it is 29000000 people unemployed right now so if youre out there buying momentum stocks and stocks you got to get crushed where you were you know high right now you cant really buy the bond market because a 0. 7 percent 10 year offers little to no protection option to take the role i would say you have to do you know some Precious Metals farmland. And maybe some play in platinum other than that where were you hiding i mean i ran an active strategy long short story and you said you were very well for us thank god but if youre tacitly managed youre going to get slaughtered. Well absolutely and i will see how much more the fed plans to do because they wont stop until they said that the recovery is maybe in a few years Michael Pinto president and founder of strategies beyond us cohost investigative journalist ben so on thank you both for your time today.
