Were looking at modest moves for the dow and s p 500 to the downside. It appears that the also that secondquarter earnings is going with a lack of conviction. The nasdaq putting in a new record high today, but this may suggest times could change. It is a fiveyear chart. A ratio with the nasdaq 106, the s p 500 six trading near fiveyear highs. It suggests it may break toward the higher end of congestion and perhaps even higher from there. It would suggest Technology Stocks can see a bit of a pullback. Time will tell, but this started very interesting to see that volatility for Technology Shares higher than for the s p 500 overall. Some of the top points for the nasdaq include amazon, apple, and tesla. Amazon receiving a positive mention, saying the company is larger to be its secondquarter Sales Estimates on thursday, even though the profits could be up in the air since they do tend to spend a little more sometimes. Apple trading higher after zaza time said there has been a smpup for some ofs apple ome of apples suppliers. Tesla going up since june 13. Finally, taking a look at the telecom phase, we have at t trading down modestly after the company said to be in early approval for a big deal. Could heat up. Here are some of the names in question. Julie appreciate it. Trumps seniord adviser soninlaw Jared Kushner got a chance to tell his side of the russia story today. Here is what he said following his private meeting with senate investigators. I did not collude with issia, nor did i nor do know of anyone else in the campaign who did so. I had no improper contact. I have not relied on russian runs for my businesses rus sian funds for my businesses. I have been fully transparent for providing information. Joining us as kevin cirilli. We got this statement from kushner, which was largely echoing the statement he released this morning. What was the goal of having him come out and appear before the press . The kevin the sources i thought within the administration and work connected to Jared Kushner suggest they did not want to give the appearance he was trying to dodge questions or tried to plead the fifth. They are calling today a meeting and not a testimony. In the Senate Building where i am, right next to me with staffers of the u. S. Intelligence committee, they were seen this past half hour, at least three members of that committee entering into the Senate Committee room to receive a briefing of sorts. One of the senators said they were being briefed on the matters. There wasner saying no collusion. Theyre trying to get out in front of this and move on beyond this. The president tweeting out earlier today, why are the committees and investigators looking into crooked hillarys crimes . Senator Susan Collins walked by me and i asked her for an update and she says they still do not know what they will vote on. Julia i want to come back to this because i was looking at some of the democratic responses to Jared Kushners meeting today in the interview he gave. Saying no presumption here gerrit is telling the whole truth. He should testify in public and that statement raises more questions than answers. Where does this go from here in light of that kind of commentary . Kevin i can tell you tomorrow Jared Kushner will meet with the house counterpart of the House Intelligence Committee presumably behind doors. , they have been invited to testify and it is unlikely they will on wednesday before the senate is shearing committee. All of this suggests the investigation has reached a new stage and they are in the factfinding position. I spoke with several sources who say just because Jared Kushner did not testify publicly today doesnt mean he will not testify publicly in the future. This is just the current phase of this investigation. That, thep side of backdrop is the russian sanctions bill, in which there is a bipartisan deal that was struck over the weekend by house leadership after the Senate Nearly unanimously passed a version of this. Really what this sanctions bill the is give congress authority to handcuff this president , should he decide to sanctions,en russian whether or not he decides to send this bill. It would be the first veto and a republicancontrolled congress. Julia i was going to ask you that. We seem to have a communication mismatch. Anyway, it would take them a few weeks to get on board. Washingtonli, chief correspondent for Bloomberg News. Theyre making up a package of spending bill before heading home for august recess. Republican leaders under pressure from donald trump and trying to Jumpstart Health insurance legislation. We have the latest with sahil kapur. Where do we go with this spending bill . We are expecting donald trump to make a statement on health care in the next hour or so. What would we expect to hear from donald trump from this point . Sahil i think we will be hearing flashes of what he has been previewing on his twitter feed. He calls this the last chance for republicans to keep their place for the river the repeal and replace. He needs 52 members to vote for some sort of bill. We do not know what the vote tomorrow will be on specifically. It will be a motion to proceed to begin debate. After that, there can be any number of bills voted on. It can be the latest revised mcconnell bill, there could be another version of that. There could be a repeal only bridgeth a twoyear before taking effect. As far as i know from conversations ive had, none of these have the votes to pass. This could just be Republican Leaders putting this on the trying to get finality on this issue, and moving on realizing they cannot have this. That is one scenario. Requiresd scenario some thing of a miracle, i think. Julie more realistic would be this minibus we are talking , spending bill. What exactly is it and what is its purpose . Sahil the idea is to have a series of vehicles to fund the government. There are certain parts of that effort that have more agreement House Republicans and Senate Republicans than others. There are disagreements. Theyouse freedom caucus, tended to vote against these things in the past unless they get their way. Some of them are threatening something similar this time around. The government has to be funded by september 30. Has to be passed and signed by the president or the government will shut down. This is one of the rare instances where a party completely and control of congress and the white house is having problems agreeing. Julia we are talking about 66 of the federal spending budget, a provision of 1. 6 billion for the border wall here. You can pick out pretentious issues, even if you get agreement from the house on this. If the senate able to do anything with this before the august recess . It doesnt look likely to me. It is delaying the start of the august recess by two weeks which gives the extra breathing room. What senator mcconnell has said is he wants to fund the Pentagon Department of defense and he wants to do a bunch of nominations. It is not clear they can get the Government Spending bill done. You mentioned the 1. 6 billion for the border wall. I think you are right. That will be a contentious revision here. We all know President Trump promised it over and over again. Democrats are dead set against it. You cannot pass a bill without 60 votes. And it was pretty clear democrats will not accept this. We are heading toward a government stand up unless someone caves on this wall. They need a miracle one way or another. Sahil kapur, thank you very much. We will bring you President Trumps full remarks on health care. He is due to begin 3 15 new york time. Let us check on the bloomberg first word news. President trump took shot that congress, hillary clinton, and jeff sessions. He tweeted, why are the committee and investigators looking into crooked hillarys crimes .

Julia coming up, a bloomberg exclusive. Causes the fed to hold off on more rate hikes. From new york, this is bloomberg. Julia this is bloomberg markets. Im julia chatterly. A weak inflation is expected to weigh on the federal reserves decision this week. Yellen told policymakers are watching inflation very carefully, but she did not signal a change in rate hikes. Factors holding down inflation and an exclusive interview with bloombergs david westin. Orientation shifted from what is the reason to raise rates to what is the reason to go off of the plan for gradual increases. As you can probably tell from the comments of chair yellen and others, people are thinking about what is going on with inflation. We do not know whether in the next couple of meetings those concerns will be Strong Enough that the fed will hold off from another rate increase or not. I think the question of what is driving inflation is not a new one. It is not as though the fed has just discovered the phillips curve is not operating as they might have liked. The phillips curve has not been a good predictor of inflation for about 20 years. Correlation between inflation and unemployment. That has been welldocumented documented at this point. People know it. I think it is interesting notwithstanding the fact people know it intellectually, they tend to fall back on the intuition that as employment strengthens at some point wages will increase and so will inflation. How do you balance the upside and Downside Risks of going too fast or too slow . People talk about a policy mistake possibility. What are the risks of going to slow and getting runaway inflation as opposed to slowing down the economy . Importantthe most factors for people thinking about Monetary Policy has been the fact that with Interest Rates low, still quite close to zero, should we get a shock to the economy, there is not much room to reduce rates. When you consider the fact within the normal recession, the feds response will be several hundred basis points of using easing, there is not the room to do that and there will be a sense that risks were asymmetric to the downside. The risks on the other side of runaway inflation seem pretty modest at this juncture. Caseay be able to make a or inflation getting to target and staying there. I think it is a little hard to make the case for the kind of nation runaway we saw in the late 70s. With respect asset prices, that has been something we have been looking at and thinking about for at least three or four years. Most analyses would suggest while they bear watching, they are not the immediate kinds of concerns you have highly leveraged asset bubbles that could break and a destructive way. It is not only Interest Rates the fed has, it is also the Balance Sheet. There has been increased and talk from members on the fed to reducing the Balance Sheet. Why now . A good question. The first factor is there has been a group of people on the fed who have been wanting to reduce the size of the Balance Sheet for some time. I think the fed as a whole has not wanted to do so until rates for aeen raised enough little bit of room to accommodate in case you had a mile slowdown in the economy a mild slowdown in the economy. Why go now . I think there are a couple of reasons. Fedis the sense that the announced it was going to begin to change the size of the Balance Sheet once rates got up to a certain point. That waseem to think more than 1 and that is where we are. As thed reason maybe, uncertainty about whether chair yellen will be reappointed is looming out there, it may be the fed wants to make sure policy is set on an understandable and certain course so that if there is a transition to a new chair, the Balance Sheet adjustments will already have been laid out. You dont lay in the lap of a new chair the need to come up with a Balance Sheet adjustment policy. We dont know whether chair yellen will be reappointed. I think it will be great for the country if she were, but that is something that is also affecting their decision. That was dan tarullo speaking with a david westin.

Michael moore leads the Financials Team in joins us with what is being referred to as project bowline. Think it is your favorite thing about it. Tell us what is contagious. We reported previously that Deutsche Bank was going to shift more assets to germany and book more trades as part of their brexit plan. It is a significant chunk. Through london moving through germany. We have a couple of things going on here. It introduces a lot of legal questions about where things have to be booked. Over the last couple years, it became more germany focused, back to its roots. Such a big number, its not that many people who might be shifting. Think youundred . I are talking a couple hundred. If have client facing people in london. The asset move is bigger than the people move at this point in time. It does make you wonder down the road, with a shift more functions . And that question with a lot of banks is not just the short term move but over the next decade. Moving to frankfurt for them is on a relative basis. They recently said they are preparing for hard brexit. They are, in some way, considering this. To what extent is this plan contingent on a hard brexit . Or will this change no matter what type of brexit we are talking about . Is it already trying to shift the focus more to focus on the entity . Art of the lets make a plan for hard brexit.

Joining us from capitol hill is kevin cirilli. And bloomberg senior White House Correspondent margaret joins us from the white house. Margaret, i want to start with you because it seems as if we have gotten a little bit more with whom we will be appearing. We are expecting the president to appear with a whom theyen americans describe as victims of obamacare. These are human examples of people that run into circumstances. Being in West Virginia for a boy scout jamboree. It is pivotal in the weeks ahead. Interviewed what is your feedback . I know you have been working her magic coming out of that. Im standing outside of the senate Intelligence Committee hearing room where a group of lawmakers are gathered inside to get a briefing on what happened at the closed door meeting with senate Intelligence Committee staffers with Jared Kushner. Republicans are saying that Jared Kushner was transparent. Was cooperative with the committee. But then i spoke with a democrat who said that he had different thoughts. Take a listen to what he told me. One of my priorities throughout this whole discussion , when we set up the original was open hearings, the ability to declassify key documents in the use of the subpoena power. Is part of meeting the first step obligation and i believe this is an area where the public has a right to know. Is not just Jared Kushner. I asked Susan Collins or not she thinks theres going to be any type of motion to proceed on health care and she said you would have to ask the leadership. Clearly, this white house is looking for a surprise political victory tomorrow. Ohioresident heads to tomorrow evening. On the topic of the president , what the white house is expected to move onto, why is the white house spending so much Political Capital on what is viewed by many as a doomed effort . Made this oneent of the centerpieces of his campaign, and suited republicans. We had to labor day and the fall, we officially enter the midterm. To show control of both chambers of congress, they were in able to enact a signature promise. And theres also the reality that the way republicans have structured scoring and budgeting , if you change that wavingsm, the whole changes. That is the messaging of this. Were showing you live pictures of the room at the white house. Discussing, toen discuss the possibility. Come back here on this. That, at no point have we discussed that the president might be coming up with his own plan here. To rally some form of support among the gop, what is the likelihood that he comes up with plan e . The plan is and continues to be that senator mitch mcconnell, the majority leader, has both kind of the strategic skills and the understanding of the process. The president has sent next signals about what he would want in order to proceed. The president also has wanted to maintain a little bit of political distance so that if the plan became unpopular with the senate plan and not my plan. And it may be less likely to attach themselves. Mitch mcconnell. Even in the capable hands of mitch mcconnell, we have seen how complicated it is. Much, margaret. Congratulations to margaret you is now president of the White House Correspondents association , a new position for her. What an exciting time. And we will be bringing you the president s remarks on health care as soon as he begins again. We have the picture of where he will be speaking in just a few moments.

Pretty strong focus here on facebook which we expect the upside of and twitter where we would structure a collar just to be a little more defensive, reporting the First Quarter back in april. Julia time is constrained because of the president , but talk me through the trade. Well go to a 170 or 180 call spread. Payoff if we are right. Analyst thinks that consensus is just a little too cautious, expecting 670 basis points. Spending relative to q1, its closer to 280. It could be a nice upside. In the next several months.
