Begin with the latest on the corona virus as the World Health Organization says that the virus does have a higher death rate than the flu but is more difficult to transmit. While many people globally build immunity to seasonal flu strains ninetys a new virus to which no one. And that means more people out of susceptible to infection and. C. V. S. Diseases globally about 3. 4 percent of reported 19 cases have died. By computers and seasonal flu. That any queues trying to fewer than one percent of those infected. The so the mortality rate for covert 19 the disease caused by the corona virus is 3. 4 percent and that number is making headlines but what most media is not going to tell you is that that number is also pretty crude and poorly calculated number one its based primarily on the outbreak in china where the majority of the cases have been detected specifically and move on which has a higher death rate than anywhere else in the case of those cases were early and many of the victims did not get immediate medical care they didnt know what they had right now there are over 94000 cases of corona virus in at least 70 countries in all over 3200 deaths have been reported around the world that includes at least 9 people in the United States but its also very important to point out that of the 94000 cases over 51000 people have already recovered secondly the number does not include get this mild cases they just left them out completely but do not require medical attention that completely skews the numbers so what is happening with the virus around the world well japans olympics minister says its a possibility that the 2020 summer games in tokyo could be delayed italy which has become ground 0 for the virus and europe is set to ban Public Events and close all schools and universities nationwide in a bid to stop the virus. No decision on the schools has been taken and there is no closure at the moment we have passed to the Scientific Technical Committee and evaluation and advice on whether we should open or close the schools that is proportional to the epidemy logical scenario of the country at the moment is the death toll in italy is 79 iran which has seen a large number of cases that offers from the Us Government to help with the virus response well they call it a lie iranian president Hassan Rouhani says that if the u. S. Wants to help it can live sanctions on medicine. Show i get it if the United States is really telling the truth at least lift the sanctions on medicine this is the 1st step to if you are being honest say we have done the wrong thing about the iranian nation so far and we apologize and our 1st step is to allow banking activities to buy medicine medicine shipping Free Transportation and food transportation for the people and we have no problem with that or we will argue correspondent traveled from hong kong to moscow and recorded the process including having temperature readings from crews in has made gear on the planes medics at the airport near the baggage claim also collected information from every passenger including where they had been and who they have been with all of it a huge effort to prevent the coronavirus from getting a foothold in russia. Mainland china as new delhi cases continue to drop and as a result manufacturing productivity is climbing back up to normalcy over 90 percent of Chinas State Owned Enterprises have resumed production after fears over the Economic Impact escalated with the release of february data that was much weaker than expected over 6000000. 00 Migrant Workers which is approximately a 3rd of the overall Migrant Worker population have returned to work in the province most workers have been unable to work previously due to travel restrictions and the lack of available Public Transportation now the easing restrictions as well as financial incentives and transport support offered by the local governments. Has quickly boosted the resumption of work in the province efforts have largely been focused on the Larger Companies with smaller firms continuing to new struggle to source labor only about 30 percent of as a means to resume work and the government is attempting to ease as a means burdened by lowering Interest Rates deferring social insurance fees and Cutting Energy costs foxconn the apple i phone maker is also restarting production of its main plant in china but even as the situation in china seems to be improving japan and korea are getting worse major south korean exports including one diet l. G. And samsung have partially shut down their production lines japan and korea are also key role players in chinas manufacturing economy so analysts are worried that the firms will not be able to supply components to china for assemblers like foxconn even as it restarts production now this is the unfortunate case for many manufacturers as key pockets of selective high chalk still remain in this hyper connected world this will make the output gap even more difficult to measure than usual. For the markets continue to be bipolar with flashing between being down a 1000 to up a 1000 points them plunging nearly 3 percent tuesday to roaring back today burning the shorts it looks like the fed put did take hold and yesterdays plunge was a buy the rumor sell the news effect while some attribute the rally to the biden effect lets take a look at whats really moving markets to do that lets bring in peter schiff c. E. O. Of Euro Pacific Capital and john hyman editor of the logical investor so peter lets begin with you marcus rallied back one day after the feds half a percentage point seem to spark off a massive sell off but wednesday was totally a different story as we are up more than a 1000 points today so what brought the markets back up. Well of course number one it is the fed this market has always been about the said thats the only thing propping it up but i think todays rally also has to do with a bit of a relief rally over the prospects of having Bernie Sanders as a democratic nominee him even though people gave him a. A very small chance if any chance at all of actually winning the fact that he could win because anything could happen if he was on the ballot it would be so disastrous for the economy and the stock market that i think the markets at least maybe started to price in some small probability of a sanders victory and i think today thats been priced out i think his path of the white house is pretty much shut down the establishment has coalesced around biden everybody is dropping out of endorsing him and you have warren staying in just to make sure ted sanders cant get the nomination so i think theyve stopped him but what the markets dont realize is joe biden is not a moderate he is a very liberal guy he only looks moderate next to sanders and he probably had a better chance or has a better chance of winning than sanders did and so abided administration is not going to be good for the stock market either and since thats more likely the stock market should probably be selling off because trump now has a better chance of losing so shawn after that sanders big win in nevada we did see the market starting to drop the day after super tuesday as peter points out you know joe biden becomes the front runner once again which who saw that coming 72 hours ago markets are on the way back up i know its very difficult to connect markets and politics and who knows if there is any actual correlation as we know as they say correlation does not equal causation but there is some level of calm in the markets at least for certain sectors for instance today we saw Health Care Sectors go a new way up is that a result of saying hey we wont get medicare for all d if Bernie Sanders is not either the front runner or let alone the democratic nominee or president. Yeah definitely with. Sanders is the worst Case Scenario for the markets biden is not much better trump is your best Case Scenario for the markets and certainly it would be a nightmare for Health Care Stocks if you had sanders in as well so i can definitely see them rallying off that and even some other Companies Like science is right now try. To help solve the problems with coronaviruses will. Now pay to supply chains have also been a really big part of this Global Manufacturing concern but now we see local governments in china doing everything that they can to bring the workers back including trying trains and planes and buses so as well as our Office Offering financial incentives and all of that so has china thats just in case the virus concerns or is that another going to be a 2nd wave hit. Well i dont know i mean theyre on the ground in china and im certainly not a doctor but you know as an economist i think the Central Banks certainly have jumped the shark you know i think very making a mistake i dont think they have the correct remedy for this disease i think the fed in particular made a mistake with yesterdays rate cut i think theyre going to make more mistakes i think were going to be bringing rates to 0 and i think even governments to the extent that they feel the need to artificially stimulate the economy you know sometimes things go wrong sometimes you have problems and when the government thinks they have to come in you know doctors take a hippocratic oath to do no harm its unfortunate that governments and Central Banks dont take the same holds because they feel they have to do something but generally what they do actually makes a situation that theyre supposedly trying to fix makes it even worse and show i also think its worth noting that one of the few sectors kind of struggling to rally are the airlines theyre pushing to get their numbers back up apparently with a series of changes including they say theyre going to waive change fees or theyre going to waive cancellation fees which candidly i think they should do all the time let alone when corona virus comes around but either way airlines are facing losses so what more can they do there was a meeting on wednesday with mike pence and the heads of several Different Airlines to talk about what they could do i guess a lot of it comes down to keeping the planes clean. It does in pinson trump different trying to do what they can to you know squash the fears and things that sort and and as they should but theres nothing is going to bring confidence back just yet until they really do have some solution to coronavirus get that started heading in the right direction and before that happens youre not going to see a lot of people you know boarding planes and getting in tight spaces with people from all over the world is strangers that they dont know they just dont have any incentive to do that and businesses are telling people whats going to assume call or a skype call and said are you going over there and seeing somebody face to face because they dont want to portion of their of their Employee Base dying or getting sick as well. And john lets talk about oil real quick according to the reports coming from opec plus meetings in vienna russia said that they will not accept an additional cut in the production of the 1200000. 00 Barrels Per Day so when the oil trader engage in a crowd of buyers where does that do to the overall landscape of the well market. So they duty to do a further cut because youve got the man coming down a youve got to bring supply more in line with that if you dont get some more of a balance then you see oil go go lower and so they really need to come in and do something now they always do this grappling back and forth you know the day or 2 before they actually make their final decision so whats happened today doesnt mean itll be the answer of what they really come out with tomorrow but if russia does dig their heels in and says no were not doing it for other cuts that could be potentially bad for oil in the near term you know it wont stay there forever oil almost never stays twentys thirtys or whatever forever it does back balance in the fortys fiftys but it could be there for a little bit yeah absolutely so peter lets talk about this Coronavirus Response so it seems like the market everybodys been you know hyping the fact that oh its coronavirus and thats what everyones so concerned about coronavirus in the us has not lessened its not going to lessen the lead for the next few months were probably going to see it continue to rise and yet what we saw on monday and what we see today none of it has seems to have anything to do with coronavirus at all so just quickly here what do you think is going to be the outlook for the next couple of months is suddenly coronavirus that was such a big deal for the market going to suddenly magically not be that big of a deal anymore. Member of the us market was extreme stanley overvalued before anybody ever heard the word coronavirus right so the market needs to come down and it was going to come down anyway and so coronavirus may be the excuse but the markets going to go down and you know everybody is trying to figure out what the government can do you know to stimulate the economy im hearing about we need to get cash in peoples pockets look the government doesnt have any cash all it can do is take cash from one persons pocket and put it in somebody elses pocket that doesnt stimulate the economy it distorts the economy and of course a lot of times the Central Banks just create money to stuff it everybodys pocket but then all that does is destroy the perched in power of the money that people already have in their pockets so the government cant do anything the only thing they really could do is. The f. D. A. Could lighten the requirements to make it easier for pharmaceutical companies to develop cures to test cures instead of you know you hear the president s task force these doctors are talking about how its going to be a year and a half before they could take a vaccine through all the bureaucratic red tape in washington how about getting rid of some of that red tape how about making it easier for companies to actually offer some of these products thats one thing the government could do but unfortunately its not doing that and i think we always want to make things easier we study make sure the vaccines are still safe to administer john hyman and peter schiff thank you both for your time. Thank you. Time now for a quick break but hey here because when we return activist investors are trying to oust twitters c. E. O. Jack dorsey but why while talk about it may not be launching it. After all so what changed breaking down and i think got to break here the numbers at the close. These policymakers have grown accustomed to the idea that every single problem can be solved with money printing why cant we solve the coronavirus of money printing the market now is starting to scratch his head a little bit and saying wait a minute thats insane so therefore valuations look like theyre going to be marked already in correction territory on these markets down 10 percent are we going to have to bear market valuations down 20 percent probably i think the likelihood is extremely high 50 to 60 percent drop thats probably a 10 to 20 percent probability. I. Do think he could not. Get to go home until. All of the trick are young. People. And. The pretty one he would love. To find out. Its something that motivates me to see. Some of the to get a. Job. Or the other to be. These are these are reserve board rooms. For the secretary. On tuesday reported that elliot management was coming for muscle yoshis on a soft bank and now it seems like the most feared investor has got his sights set on jack dorsey c. E. O. Of twitter now jack dorsey founded twitter and was the 1st c. E. O. He was then booted out for spending too much time doing yoga and attending Fashion Design classes but then in 2015 he returned to lead twitter once again as no one understood the vision of the company as well as he did however under his leadership twitters stock price is down 6. 2 percent meanwhile its biggest comp base book is up 121 percent in the same time period Elliott Management who has a 4 percent stake in twitter is obviously not happy with the Stock Performance and has now put in 4 nominees to the companys board with the goal of replacing Dorsey Elliott claims that dorsey only devotes part of his attention to twitter as he also runs Payment Company square in which he has a larger financial interest twitter has also failed to innovate in recent years with the user base turning and burning Elliott Management led by paul singer is known as the doomsday investor for reason past president s would indicate that dorsey has a very small chance of surviving this attack as x e o of health who was once ousted by singer puts it quote when he began to research elliot online the experience was like googling the. Thing on your arm that says youre going to die. So what do you think ultimately number one do you think. The. Members will go ahead and oust him and if they do is it a good thing or a bad thing i think he has very little chance of survival past president s indicates that when singer wants you gone you are pretty much gone as it is and this is pretty much the thing its like is it a good thing or a bad thing that there are activist investors it depends on what side youre on because as a Company Owner myself i would hate it if an active pastor came in and said we want to replace the Management Board but on the other hand i do understand that as a shareholder you do want
