17000000 americans earlier this Week Senate Republicans released a nearly one trillion dollar relief package of their own this was to counter the 3 trillion dollars package that the House Democrats passed back in may talks are scheduled to resume through the weekend but a deal still seems pretty far from sight. Commodities in crypto markets are heating up around the world as traditional equity markets take a breather from their epic rally last quarter well it seems like we are seeing a big asset rotation coming on. In the boom bust cohost Christine Christie chinese regulators theyre rushing to curb Precious Metals trading in order to temper speculation how dangerous is this for or the speculative market while this could be very dangerous especially when you take into account the huge middle Class Population in specially in a country like china weve seen this before and there was widespread market from a previously which created bubbles we had. Tech bubble we had an i. P. O. Bubble we had a crypto bubble and this is bad because bubbles tend to burst and they leave disaster behind burning a lot of careless investors who really didnt know any better so this mad scramble this time comes as gold prices hit a record high spurred by what investors hunting for safe haven and also speculators feeling foma seeing these soaring prices and feeling like theyre missing out the i. C. C. Is now barring its kind from opening new training accounts for palladium platinum basically all Precious Metals and this is to control risk and price volatility now gold e. T. F. In china they have trimmed train turnover in recent weeks which booked a lot of regulators who are mindful of these respectively so soon after aprils Oil Speculation that drove prices to negative 37. 00 per barrel and all a lot of gold buying happening going on right now is these investors are turning to to other assets but china its now aiming to become the worlds dominant block chain power through a state backed block chain Infrastructure Project so this has significant 1st mover advantage but also theres a lot of risk here break it down for us you know so the 2 assets that a lot of people are turning for for safe haven is basically gold and watch and specially things like bitcoin but this is completely different than because this is called the block chain based Service Network or b. S. N. For short it aims to become the dominant Internet Services provider for all of these centralized apps known as datz so there is significant risk here given the growing tensions between the u. S. And china b. S. N. Is essentially a Chinese State sanctioned project but the technology is actually backed and supported by u. S. Companies such as and is on microsoft and google all our Major Cloud Service Providers of this p. C. N. Network so you can kind of see where were going with this already like last year all of the semis they all got whacked when the Trump Administration decided to not allowed sales to blacklist the Chinese Companies and to allow for us technologies within these Chinese Companies so now this could very much play out the same way so china is trying to grab the lead and block change and dominate this entire. Space fairly similar to what they do with 5 g. But that will put the b. S. N. Further into the spotlight of the us china tech war and there is a real risk that technology does not present a National Security risk but they will nonetheless be banned simply because of political reasons well kristie lets turn to block chain ether its about 50 percent and its 5 Year Anniversary month whats behind that rally well this was quite a month for the entire crypto space especially for a theory and so we always like to talk about bitcoin here but theory in 2. 0 and the entire defined network is actually whats driving this entire space and this entire rally is over the month so 1st we had the anticipation of the market towards the east 2. 00 basically incentivizes users to participate in a theory as the switches to a proof of stake consensus so the p. O. s algorithm would eventually eliminate all minors from the theory and primarily in order to optimize and also make the network work a lot faster so the final test now for a 2. 0 is expected to launch very soon in august and then we also have the explosive growth of the entire defined network on the back of yield farmy so several major defy providers they have emerged such as compound lend curve except for a and as we mentioned the total defy market is now almost 4000000000. 00 in a mere 2 months so you can kind of call that a bubble as well so there is a ton of traction behind 8th right now you can also see that in the futures market as open interest climbed to a record high in july and with each 2. 0 it rewards users for staking their corn so likely youll start to see a really good stable base of hogwarts and use those which will really help to stabilize prices and demand well christiane we have a little over a minute left a quick answer here but every time we see prices go up we see an increase in users jumping into crypto this time apparently is coming from russia how the landscape there yeah for years russia has blown a lot of hot and cold over crypto currency regulations all very. But the market china actually but now were seeing the 1st signs of another rally starting you see russian users joining exchanges such as paxil so new users have actually increased about 350 percent over the last 12 months in russia russias support of you the largest p. D. P. Bitcoin Trading Market in the euro but a lot of training takes place on local bitcoin in peer peer with volumes about about 32000000. 00 changing hands every month so it seems like adoption is growing as paxil manager for the russian market said quote russia has always had a model of the Banking System that is dominated by a few players and the sentiment we get is that russians are increasingly looking to find alternative ways to grow their earnings and participate in the Financial Market so it looks like russia is also joining asia and the entire block in space well it definitely looks like theyre going to continue to do so given the state of the economy cohost christi i thank you thank you. Cove in 1000. 00 surges and many states have stalled restaurant reopening is adding yet another detrimental setback to the industry thats been hit hard by the pandemic well its resulting in billions of dollars in losses both in the u. S. And across europe parties john he takes a deeper look at where the Restaurant Industry goes from here no matter where you live chances are one of your favorite restaurants has probably closed because of the kobe 1000 pandemic its hit americas Restaurant Industry hard and the hits keep on coming the Consumer Research firm n p d Group Reported this week the u. S. Restaurant industry recovery has stalled with no improvement in transaction declines in 6 weeks adding quote major restaurant chain consumer transaction declines have been between negative 11 percent and negative 14 percent versus a year ago since the 2nd week of june compared to the steady improvement in declines from the last week in april through the 2nd week in june while the real openings in some states that started in late may in early june helped recruit some of the financial losses. Rollbacks in those reopening is because of covert surges as at the end history hard once a debt the National RestaurantAssociation Estimates that in total between march and june eating and drinking sales levels were down more than one 116000000000. 00 from expected levels with a total shortfall of more than 145000000000. 00 during the 1st 4 months of the pandemic and just as the Restaurant Industry started to bounce back with 47400000000. 00 in sales in june compared to 30000000000. 00 in april several states started shutting down once again with california and new mexico among others banning Indoor Dining altogether the National RestaurantAssociation Reports that since the start of july 2020 roughly 100000 dining rooms have closed again because of these orders europes Restaurant Industry has also taken a hit much like the u. S. Restaurants from the u. K. To spain have to adhere to kovan 1960 restrictions such as Outdoor Dining only limited capacity and earlier closing hours in the u. K. After almost 3 months of lockdown restaurants were allowed to reopen july 4th provided they adhere to strict hygiene conditions and while some diners started coming back sales were still down almost 50 percent a week later since then the numbers have reportedly started to gradually increase in france where the hospitality and Restaurant Industry plays a big part in the economy officials announced this week that the French Economy shrunk by 13. 8 percent during the lockdown pete i still assume Hotels Restaurants they were hit will frontal by this crisis lead a still the case today as im talking to you so they need more cash flow from early august on a whim and will put in place new loans guaranteed by the state oh it will go as high as 80 percent of the Sales Revenues of the hotels or restaurants and ask me for it until now the maximum of 25 percent from now the ones dont go as high as 80 percent of their revenues she. Defeat back in the u. S.

For more were joined by new York Attorney and bar owner andrew much more andrew thank you so much for being with us today youre a Restaurant Owner yourself and brooklyn and your business is currently closed what is that recovery looking like for you. Only a bar of music in brooklyn thats called much more and while the bar and Restaurant Business is going to come back a little bit music venues simply dont exist as they used to well and are these these rollbacks with all these rollbacks and reopening like like john mentioned in his package some restaurants have in the past refused to shut down some say theyre not actually going to and theyre making space for even more outside dining now that might change in places like new york when the weather wont allow for that does the law protect these businesses who choose to stay open. Which is getting so quite a bit but its a good solution for the summer but once we start getting into the winter months its going to be much more. Ok and 20 in 1000 andrew now the Restaurant Industry in the United States i want to show you here employed more than 13000000 people these are strong that are are open and are operating right now are actually at less capacity there they have much many less employees working there some jobs may not even be coming back are these jobs are they going to come back or are they are a lot of them gone forever. Many of them will not i just made it about a quarter of bars and restaurants probably will not reopen in new york with the high rents or some restaurants work or there simply isnt enough. Bandwidth for them to afford 34 months of 0 revenue and still having to pay rent so you get great deal will not come back. The the Paycheck Protection Program from the Small Business association theyve managed to offer some help but but the state of these loans are really uncertain if further action isnt taken at the Federal Reserve level than the p. P. P. Loans theyll seize on august 8th now this is pretty significant according to earlier predictions from the end dependent Restaurant Coalition around 85 percent of independent restaurants could go under by the end of the year what are the chances of these this new round of p. P. P. Funding and could we see just a major wipe out of restaurants that without the systems it will depend on the specifics of the renewed bill that the existing paycheck can. Not see or to address is addressed many other trees many of them to close completely period of months and it covers payroll so if you have no people period it really doesnt apply to you if its that period and even as bars and restaurants reopen it isnt the largest cost restaurants at least in new york rent is usually the largest cost and cost of goods sold so the amount of help that will drive it will be significant but i dont think will be enough to save a large number of businesses are we going to see a lot of these these small mom and pop shops restaurants essentially go out of business and more of these these big chain restaurants come in and take advantage of the cheap realestate. It gets to express the country but in new york. It will burst in restaurants 2 or more appreciative the local market i think which one survived and which ones is largely going to come down to. Their relate to their landlords and whether their words will grant them right to be around them to make it through this difficult period well there are plenty of restaurants here in the Nations Capital too that are struggling and even chains that have been struggling like Cheesecake Factory much that they werent even able to pay their rent during the pandemic that was in new York Attorney and bar owner andrew much more thank you so much for making time to be with us today.
