K. Leaders to the russian Prime Minister to israelis Health Minister to 2 very high iranian officials and also a strangely as Home Affairs Minister says you can see right here nobody is safe from this virus sprint archie correspondent thank you for keeping us up to date. And more than 4 1000000 d mortgages are in forbearance and are getting extensions of those initial 3 month player indicating that the pain in the market is not yet over this represents 7. 8 percent of all active mortgages here in the United States accounting for just under 900000000000. 00 in unpaid principle so lets go ahead and take a look at this and some other Economic News of the day with us cohost christiane. Always a pleasure to see you right there what does this mean for the market well its like you said the pain in the market is not over yet and in fact this is only the beginning because the market has been propped up this entire time by stimulus massive stimulus in the form of the care package that has allowed borrowers to miss Monthly Payments for up to 3 months but now that expire and p. P. P. Is expiring and when these artificial buoys go away people are left with real expenses real bills that Current Business operations just cant afford to pay so the expirations of these plans plus the expiration of the extended Unemployment Benefits at the end of this month present significant risk to the recovery of the entire Mortgage Market and will there be additional stimulus measures passed to support the market once these expire well many ellice believe that there will be another package simply because its too early for the life buoy is to go away once it expires in order to provide a last and a drop in the market president secretary treasury secretary has hinted that the trumpet ministration is working with the senate to pass a new bill this now supposedly will cover Unemployment Benefits a 2nd round of payments to household and an extension of Unemployment Benefits for furloughed workers and a targeted version of the p. P. P. For Small Businesses are currently an all out on the table theyre looking to try to pass this by the end of july as these Unemployment Benefits are near expirations and if there continues to be a last we can see a stall in this recovery you know weekly jobless claims were lower than expected last week totaling 1314000 compared to the expected 1300000 expected so its very close there but so weve seen this number fall for a few consecutive weeks now can we assume that the recovery is actually underway all the continuing claims have fallen sharply much faster than our ridgeley can anticipate a much faster than anyone expected but despite these better than expected numbers this is still the 15th can. Week that initial claims are above a 1000000 and claims under the pandemic unemployment assistance programs increased by 42000. 00 from the previous week now bringing the total of these committees claiming benefits to a record of 32900000 so theres still quite a long road ahead of us even if we say this is the beginning of their coverage of the beginning of the balance whatever you want to call it unemployment is in fact dropping from the pandemic high of 14. 7 percent to 11 point one which is still pretty high so the job market is still very far from being subtle especially when you have Companies Like United Airlines just announcing that they are putting 36000. 00 workers on notice for potential layoffs so while we are starting to see a slew of bankruptcies and chapter 11 filing is also hit the deck those are not mom and pop shops those are in fact fortune 500 companies or companies over 15000000 in market cap filed for chapter 11 so that represents hundreds of thousands of jobs that are permanently gone so while we can say that we are in the early innings of our carry the high levels of initial jobless claims as well as the business closures are going to be very major headwinds Going Forward you know look at markets they could to be choppy in trading on friday but we still have some upside bias here what is could to do push it up despite the complete lack of catalyst in events i got 30 seconds left for you kristie it is going to be choppy trading and range bound in the interim as we go into the summer months but there is a slight bullish buys a mirror right there several factors continue to prop up the market namely the fed amazon and theres hope for a vaccine so today on friday we got the report from gilliatt saying that the vaccine could be ready by as soon as december so this reopening trade is fading and the rotation of high beta stock is also slowing down and in the near term its going to be difficult to find anything compelling so really the only thing thats going to be leading the market right now is going to be tech names as well as the fed. Thanks for your expert analysis thank you. Global markets are mixed this week as they continue to react to a resurgence of coronavirus cases worldwide lets start in russia where the mo x. Is down on the week the ruble fell on friday after some gains throughout the week due to a decrease in oil prices and concern over a renewed lockdown now something to keep an eye on is the Nation Central Bank data for balance of payments for the 2nd quarter of this year amid the height of the pandemic lets move to asian markets where the shanghai composite its in the green for the week with gains early on in the week due to chinas june inflation data chinas National Bureau of statistics showed the price index fell by 3 percent beating expectations and the composite saw a 2 percent loss on friday mostly attributed to the growing number of coronavirus cases worldwide in hong kong the hang seng finished the week up but just barely the index fell more than 2 percent mid afternoon on friday alone on the news that the Asian Financial hub will suspend all schools starting monday after a spike in covert 1000. 00 cases in japan the nikkei was down for the week following similar trends on friday it lost one percent taking a sharp downturn over.

V. America of means real talk. You cannot be global with yeah you are. Im holland cook i invite you to climb with me above the main stream media mire and from that higher fan to glimpse the big picture question more. And welcome back here on boom bust we have discussed how nearly every sector of the economy has been hit by the copen 1000 pandemic one of the hardest hit sectors has been the Services Sector which here in the United States accounts for roughly 70 percent of jobs and one of the largest subsectors in that group has been the Food Service Industry which had lost nearly 50 percent of their workforce as their home orders forced their mostly Small Businesses to shut their doors now of course those numbers rebounded somewhat as states began to roll back these orders and enter into varying phases of reopening however as of june 24 percent of those restaurant employees while theyre still out of work and since we are facing recent spikes in cases of the virus florida and texas well theyve been forced to close bars again while new york city backtracked on plans to allow Indoor Dining since the start of the pandemic restaurants throughout the u. S. Have lost 120000000000. 00 in revenue that according to data from the National Restaurant association so lets dive into state of this industry with Andrew Zimmern for time James Beard Award winning t. V. Personality chef activist and creator host of m s n b cs what whats eating america now andrew we could obviously spend hours talking about just your resume its wonderful that a fair appreciate having you back on the show now we had you here i did just a few months ago at the height of the shutdown orders here in the states now how have things changed in the Restaurant Industry over those last 2 many months amid the pandemic. Well i think the biggest change is the one that sort of the most obvious that sadly many people sort of dance around which is that the pandemic is now at record numbers were higher significant totals in any statistic than we were in march and thats a Natural National disaster or global tragedy a national treasure. Judy so essentially what we have is a trolley problem that seems obvious to me the question being how can we justify being open for business when more people are getting sick we could if there was federal funding remember all of the states have eaten up root reserves and all the rest of that getting themselves ready to handle the pandemic acro
