It is, as you point out, quite extraordinary, and it is a symbol of the turmoil this country is in right now. It is really quite amazing. Francine marti, how will this play out in the election . President trump tried to do it about law and order. Everything he has done so far to try to get his base fired up and tried to get people who may be afraid of some of the scenes they are seeing. Is it working . That is the calculation he he will need to extend his base if hes going to win reelection. We have a story out this morning that talks about his standing in the battleground states of michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, where joe biden has a lead. Not a big lead but a lead. Without those states, there is no path for donald trump to reelection. Issue is hethe real has to fire up his base but he has to suppress the vote of the democrats in order to win reelection.

We do this with risk on, futures up, yields move out to extraordinary new levels for the 10 year and 30 year. Stay with us. This is bloomberg. Good morning, everyone. Bloomberg surveillance from london and new york as we moved to this historic moment for the United States, a grim jobs report at 8 30. If you need to be acquainted with the Great Depression, redavid kennedy, all 989 pages, of his magisterial freedom from fear. Or, you talk about talk to someone that understand the mathematics and dynamics of what we are going through. Randalloson are, kroszner. Randy, i am focused not on the Unemployment Rate with all of the criticisms of it but the all in Unemployment Rate, 22 percent, and nobody dares forecast where it will be at 8 30. Single statistic signal we have returned to 1933 . I hope we have not returned to 1933, because thats meant recovery will take a long time. But we will have an Unemployment Rate that we will have not seen world war ii in the u. S. The key u. S. The key will be how quickly we can bring the Unemployment Rate down. Hopefully more rapidly than during the Great Depression, but that does not mean a vshaped recovery. Tom there are any number of theories. Thank you for the vshaped analysis, but there are any number of theories of what the it is okte level of kind of like an employment rate is. On the standard rate, what is the goal . Get under 50 or say 8 15 or say 8 . Marty the goal randall the goal is to get to the ranges we have been over the last two years. At that is where we would hope to go, but i think it will take a long time to get there. Hopefully, we will come back down to at least low double digits by later in the year, but i think we will still be in double digits for a significant period of time. Francine what does that depend on . When we have an idea of what consumers will do . When do we have an idea of what the end of lockdown means . It seems everything is fuzzy. These unemployment figures are really staggering when you think of the amount of families that will have single income parents or not actually losing her job. Can they reacquire a job quickly . Randall i think it will be challenging. I think a lot of the policies that have been put forward so far were presuming a vshaped recovery, but we could turn the lights off in february and march or turn them back on in may june, but a lot of those businesses wont be viable going forward, restaurants, many hospitality many in the hospitality industry, people will travel less. Change of behavior because of concerns of infection and concerns about uncertain job prospects will lead people to consume a lot less. Recovery will not be a quick bounceback. It will take a long time. People will have to transit across different sectors. The people who are in the hospitality industry, there just wont be those jobs there to them. They will have to move to other fields, and that will take time. Francine are we losing quality jobs, and what kind of jobs will we create when the recovery takes hold . Randall obviously, the areas that seemed to be doing well are tech related. This is just incredible speeding have the concerns that been happening before that we labor to reskill the force to make sure people have the skills to work in Technology Rather than traditional areas. , if we were talking about things moving fast before, things have moved at lightning speed. The lightning bolt has struct, and we have had this enormous transmission where consumer demand is going to be. And it takes a while for people to retool. Kroszner, if we understand the labor economy is completely unacceptable, there is no question about that. And, there is a group of elites getting by and a group of people wait on the food chain, servicing those advantaged leads. There is everybody else in the middle. When we see the next fiscal everybodyto those else in the middle . Think that is i going to be one of the key things going forward, because right now, like in the u. S. , we had the checks go out to foreholds, a lot of support small and mediumsize business who tried to preserve jobs over a certain period of time, but unfortunately, i think many of those germs jobs will not be able to be preserved beyond the programs, and i think that is programs have to pivot and realize we have to support not the jobs but the person. Unfortunately, the job will not be there. I think that is the next stage in the support packages that will have to come. I think there will have to be a lot of restructurings and bankruptcies, so providing support for rapid bankruptcies, prepackaged bankruptcies, Asset Management companies, to make sure we can move capital quickly into the new areas to create those jobs for people is important as well. I mentioned a guy named blanchflower, in a college in northern new england. Onnchflower has done work wage dynamics. You know the mathematics of that as well. Its a great surprise for the rest of this year and frankly into 2021, will the great surprise we a flattening of wage growth . I dont see a lot of wage growth coming. I think there is so much uncertainty that is there that i dont see employees making very large demands, i dont see largeers willing to make increases because there will be so many challenges in the job markets they will be able to find alternatives. Growth,see strong wage or strong price growth either. I think we will have low inflation in the u. S. And globally. I think that is one of the reasons why central banks, like the ecb yesterday, increasing its asset purchases and the fed taking the actions it has, that it wants to try to fight off into a deflation situation. Enough, will it be randy, or does moore need to be done to make sure we keep the deflation away . Gov. Kroszner certainly the ecb has decided to do more proactively. I think that is important because Inflation Expectations are slipping down in the eurozone. There has been discussion of the possibility of negative euros negative Interest Rates in the u. K. In the year of in the u. S. , the fed wants to avoid doing that. It is trying to do that through i thinking programs and those lending programs are likely to expand considerably. They havent got nothing ground yet so i think there is room for expansion there. I think they will purchase a lot of assets. Francine thank you so much. A former federal governor and professor. L the markets are focusing on u. S. Jobs a little bit. The focus of the market is a lot more in terms of stimulus for the monetary side but also the fiscal side. The other thing tom and i are watching his brexit heads. As the latest round of talks between the eu and u. K. Have ended in a stalemate. There is also an oil story. If you look at the price of oil, it is set for its sixth weekly gain after opecplus reached this tentative agreement to extend record production cuts. Zoom cfo atter, the 11 30 a. M.

Global news, 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake on twitter, quicktake on bloomberg powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. Francine and tom . Tom thank you so much. It greatly appreciated. What we know over certain is in the market of equities bonds, currencies, and commodities, Foreign Exchange send signals, the deepest market and it is called, thinking back to your chemical set as a kid, the litmus paper. Next guest writes shockingly acute short notes, dense and layton with guesstimates on the timeline we are on and how we will move. Movement upd the here, the breakout the stronger euro. And he joins us now. Jordan, lets start with a little ancient history. What did you learn from Christine Lagarde yesterday that gives you strong euro in the future . Jordan for what anyone for anyone holding a short euro position, you had eu recovery ds and then german fiscal stimulus this week. Yesterday, the ecb. What really changed was the correlation to the markets. In the past, when you had qe, it is a cell euro story, meaning lower yields, outflows from the euro area into the u. S. , and that would be dollar strength, euro weakness. Into yesterday, we said to our clients, it is a different ballgame. Qe will lead to higher growth expectations after a long period of time, months now, of European Equity outflows from foreign investors. We said, if we get an unexpected qe program, which we did yesterday, then we would see inflows into equities and banks will outperform as well. We have seen all of that play out, tom. We in jobs day in america, dont do lagrange functions, but i will ask you to do to triangulate three major payers. Stronger euro, dollar ambiguity, and greater yen ambiguity. Triangulate them six months out. Jordan i think we will have a recovery phase in six months out. I think that is easier to talk about. There is a risk of a second wave in until wave then. Where are we at the recovery . The yen has the bank of japan on their accelerator. Strength,e have yen they will talk on the currency and looking to do something to weaken the currency. When it comes to the euro, it is a different ballgame. The expectations of growth in europe are improving and we have had months and years of underweights in european equities. I think that might start flipping for the first time. When it comes to the dollar, i have become i have been a dollar bull. What has changed is that the fed have been so much in terms of expansion and the double deficits have expanded in the u. S. As well. We have had all of the good news for the dollar over the last couple months and it has strengthened not strengthened as much. Now, we are getting the bad news for the dollar and i think that will have legs. The dollar should selloff. We are looking at 113 to 115 and the couple weeks. Francine what do you do with pound so far, we have not had much on these eu u. K. Talks on brexit. Jordan in the next 30 minutes, we hear from Michel Barnier as we if we had progress in talks. I doubt they will. If theres progress, sterling will rally because folks have been
