Indices in the dow s. And p. 500 tech heavy nasdaq all fell by at least 1. 5 percent but turn positive hitting session highs in the final hour of trading markets were initially pushed down by more bad news in the u. S. Job market as the Labor Department reported nearly 3000000 new jobless claims for the week ending the 8th of march now this brings the total number of unemployment claims in the u. S. To more than 36. 00 a 1000000 over the last 2 months due to the coronavirus pandemic now the Unemployment Rate in the country is now over 14 percent now it has been a rough week for u. S. Markets on wednesday alone the dow dropped 2. 2 percent the s. And p. Lost 1. 8 percent and the nasdaq which had been having a really nice run fell by 1. 6 percent this market turmoil is also comes as the u. S. Federal reserve ward of a prolonged recession dashing hopes of a quick recovery for the Worlds Largest economy and joining us now to break down what is going on in markets is boom bust cohost Christine Christy im not going to waste any time here what is happening with markets today is that volatility that had kind of subsided is it back. Now i wouldnt say the volatility is back to where it was before we had those wild swings in both directions of like 2 to 3 percent a day are opposite directions i think actually were past the point where oscillating wildly trying to find a bottom because before that was just so much uncertainty on the future outlook one day its terrible and the market gets oversold the next day of bounces back on optimism and speculation that the fed is going to come save the day but there wasnt any real data points to work off of back in march so the only relevant comp to look at was china so every single model that was put out was based off of how chinas recovery actually looked like but now here in the u. S. Were about 5 months into this and were actually getting real data points here with unemployment with j. P. Imports exports p. M. I. All of that all thats new so are staying at the market is consolidating after just kind of floated up 30 percent on optimism and fed spending so weve had a lot of Government Support this time around we asked for stimulus and we got it so now the fear and the market is gone at the fed one just simply and let everything fail so thats why were not going to get that violent drop again at the equities popped on the real snappers and now were getting that real data saying that the reopening may not be as easy as it sounds and things are just going to go back to normal overnight so all of these names are now getting checked by the new reality and investors are trying to find out where that new reality looks like where that new valuation is in every single sector in this basically new normal that were living in now and of course through the Banking Sector including bank of america j. P. Morgan chase wells fargo and citigroup they all helped push markets up on thursday posting substantial gains by the end of trading why are u. S. Banks doing so well today. All i want to know theyre doing well today theyre just catching up today the financials and Banking Sectors have been one of the new wars performance like this in this entire selloff in the bank and that is still down about 45 percent this year including todays rally and that kind of wiped off a combined 800000000000. 00 and in terms of Financial Sector a quicky valuation from its constituent so its still down about 14 percent compared to the overall s. And p. And nasdaq that ive become about 30 percent and though the u. S. Bank did add billions to the provisions for loan losses in the 1st quarter as we all during the earning more is to be expected and wells fargo is one of the worst performance among eggs out especially in the the arrow Interest Rate environment it is going to be very difficult to see how financials and do well if at all and of course you talked about these metrics that were seeing the real data that were actually seeing now due to the pandemic how concerning are these unemployment numbers as we talk about a prolonged recession due to the coronavirus. Well one of the most disturbing things is that there are far more americans filed for unemployment than the jobs gained during the last decade since the end of the Great Recession so we just kind of stuck took a giant normal step back and today we came in worse than expectations as you mentioned just like we had the previous 6 weeks now with unemployment sitting at 14. 7 percent so now if we look at comps again to get a baseline of what happens at the end of the tunnel you look at china and it took china 2 months to get production back to even half capacity and now consumption still remains sluggish over there so lets just say for the sake of argument that the quantum bias is gone tomorrow and there will still be a noticeable most of a difference in disposable income consumption and savings behavior stemming from unemployment and consumers they will be more inclined to say creating this very vicious cycle of sluggish demand all of cross the u. S. And globally. Now kristie we have another story we need to get your take on the 1st lets bring in boom bust cohost and crypto analyst ben swan and now theres a huge story in the cryptocurrency world as telegram has announced that it will officially abandon its turn network in the graham cryptocurrency no telegram c. E. O. Pavel bure of announced monday that the company is calling it quits on the Telegram Open Network or tone as we just mentioned the late gram tokens thanks to a lengthy battle with the United States s. C. C. Give us a quick background of telegrams krypto project and its battle with the f. C. C. Yes intially telegram which is this massive encrypted messaging service many of you out there know exactly what this is used all the time and now instant 2017 they were going to raise an about 1700000000 dollars to an i. C. A. O. An initial Coin Offering a lot of people were doing it at that time that this was such a nasa of i. C. A. O. Was for one time at one time the largest i. C. A. O. Done by anyone it was later on overtaken by eos but in the meantime telegram was essentially trying to do 2 things and one of the things was to create the tang network the Telegram Open Network and then also the gram cryptocurrency as you mentioned the problem is that the s. E. C. Started fighting them in 28000 the f. C. C. Was claiming that this was a violation of Securities Law and then in 2019 began to find them and try to crack down on them and then in october of 21000 a judge ruled against telegram essentially saying that this project could not move forward and that they had violated the law not just in the United States but that the project cant move forward anywhere in the world because u. S. Users and investors mice tried to still access those that graham cryptocurrency and so as a result of that tom is now dead in the water a telegram announcing that they are no longer going to pursue this project because they say that the u. S. District court judge didnt just shut down the project for the u. S. But has blocked it for the rest of the world and thats not just a shocking thing its a pretty scary thing you know kristie winter off announce that telegrams 10 Network Project was over with he said that american courts shouldnt have the power to stop the sale of crypto currency beyond u. S. Borders is that what happened here as ben was just kind of mentioning there. Absolutely that was essentially the ruling judgment that apparently there might be might being the operative word a u. S. Citizen might find some way of accessing the ton platform after it launched even if its launch in every single country and every other country in the world except news and everything so this actually creates a very very dangerous precedent right now because it shows that the u. S. Is willing to just block and put a giant robot when it comes to finance a technology and being the worlds superpower right now it does currently have the leverage to do that so thats kind of where stand on this that the u. S. Judge is right about one thing that everyone is still dependent on the u. S. When it comes to finance and technology and so this is came as a surprise and its very disappointing how backwards the u. S. Is when it comes to corrupt us actually when you have countries such as japan who has declared that big quiet is just as good as now one of the reasons i think is that the ground was meant to be a currency not just of security and this was supposed to be out of the s. E. C. Jurisdiction and at the time the as then mentioned this is one of the biggest i. C. s with the largest influencers groups aside from libra so if this actually took off this would have made been a tremendous threat to the current currency structure as we know it but i thought it telegraphs oh i wouldnt say i was going to say but it kind of bizarre if you look at the way the United States laws are made up in the 1st place where you have states who have their own jurisdiction so state the state it changes a lot of what laws are changed i mean if you look at you know the cannabis industry here in the United States in some states its legal some states its not so for them to do this on the world stage and say hey you guys can have this legally because americans might have the opportunity to do this how do the far the authority there. Well they dont have the authority to do that its simply just like the money its a fee order that says we have the authority to declare that people cant use this service and cant access this crypto currency in christie that made a very important point there which is that this currency this gram crypto currency is a real threat because it was not a security it was an actual currency that was going to build on telegraph network and remember telegraph was essentially doing the same thing that libra was later trying to copy them and do through facebook which was to create this peer to Peer Exchange and were going to bank the Bank Telegram was actually do and i apologize about that it looks like were having some technical difficulties with christi and ben so christi and ben swan bus cohost thank you so much for your type. In the World Health Organizations chief scientist says it could take up to 5 years before the quote a virus pandemic is fully contagious during a conversation with the Financial Times global boardroom dr sonia swamy nathan added a vaccine could be the best way out of this dire situation but questions remain so lets take another global look at the trends and spread of the current of virus with r. T. Correspondent sites have a day or so tell us where we are in the u. S. As states start to reopen sobran there are so much political pressure ad the moment you were started there kind of me and released people from isolation and law President Trump on monday claimed that all throughout the country the number of new infections were in the creasing well that clashes with a leaked White House Virus Task force report that shows that some will areas of the u. S. Are actually seeing infections spiked by more than 1000 percent in a week yet states are rushing to reopen after lock downs but Public Health experts warn that new surges could trigger a 2nd stay at home orders of course its not get clear if lawmakers from states that are revolting who i might add were slow for the most part to lock down the 1st place whether that we willing to set another lockdown if cases do in fact search so looking at this map right behind me now these are hotspots where in more mostly populated cities like Seattle San Francisco l. A. Denver dallas houston chicago moving on to the east coast like atlanta boston of course new york where it all started and what i want to break it down for our viewers and 3 different categories so 1st we have here where new in new cases are increasing and now these are among the areas. The largest spikes reported and there are states like montana south dakota arkansas region and maine then we have states where cases have actually remain the same and these are so these are cases where the states are reporting the same amount of cases as the prior week in states like oregon california texas florida and but there is no point that i want to make so whereas big cities in texas like houston and dallas are seeing the same growth rate as in the previous weeks smaller cities like amarillo recorded an enormous 650 percent increase in confirmed cases compared to the previous weeks so sometimes the new cases remain the same could be a positive but thats not always the case because you have to count every small city in that state lastly we have new cases were new in states where new cases are actually decreasing we have places Like Washington idaho. Arkansas wisconsin where were seeing the state is actually has come out of the lockdown where theres a lot of videos emerging with full bars and the governor putting everything back to normal and new york pennsylvania and georgia so in these states were actually seeing the number decreasing brett. Looking at it globally and lets take a look at the mortality rate when it comes to these countries how do they compare it well thats a great question because one of the most important ways to measure the burden of covert 19 is mortality and countries to rob the world have reported very different. Ratios now for example if you see usa which has over 1400000. 00 cases there were tallied the rate is about 6 percent versus the u. K. With over 233000. 00 cases what their mortality rate is for. 4 percent and russia thats really climbing up the list is our mortality they are less than one person which theyre contributing to wide testing and then we have countries like france that have over 878000 cases and their mortality rate are the higher 15 point one percent so this is really paints a picture of whats going on when you take it when you compare the top 10 nations that have the most cases brant r.
