We are just crawling back to flat on the nasdaq. P half a percent. Big moves in treasuries, if you can call it that. Except two basis points on the 10 year. The dollar index relatively unchanged, although other currencies have seen strong swings against the dollar this week. The mexican peso stronger by. 4 . Yen also stronger but are 3 . Lets stick with treasuries and the relatively large moves this week. The industry has more than 12 trillion of assets but record low yields on treasuries are causing a problem for the industry expected to deliver annual returns in the high Single Digits. For more on the subject, we welcome brian chappatta. It seems like maybe once upon a time but right now nobody has an expectation of high Single Digits for their 401 k s or Pension Funds more general. You are not getting it in treasuries. When i was talking about pensions staying away from treasuries, the 30 year bond yield was at 1. 4 . Morning, 1. 24 this which is rare in the fixed income market. Tre
Having a free and Fair Election without external intervention, even when both sides were perfectly wellprepared to play by the rules. We now have a situation before the pandemic hit where that is much more problematic, where issues of saying there is voter fraud happening, impersonations, you should not be doing vote by mail. All of the president s all of the measures for a president who is well behind in the polls but has the ability to shape the outcomes of the way the election is put together. In the Worlds Largest economy, the idea that the election will be contested and half of the population will think it is rigged even before the pandemic hit, we thought that was the single largest risk affecting the markets in 2020. Of course, the pandemic makes this a lot worse. Inid it strikes me that 2016 most of us were not thinking about the election being contaminated by social media disinformation, russia trying to intervene in the election. Now we know what happened. We have much better
President trump has said, enough, here are the tariffs on the outcome of june, and other selected items in europe. Francine we were talking about it when the news broke on those tariffs. 3. 1 billion dollars, it is limited in size, but it is very targeted and it seems to be on luxury projects. Which is why we are looking out the likes of burberry and lvmh down 2 50 . And a lot of the beer things. We all can survive it. [laughter] ever allow you back in the u. K. Kamali we can discuss shopping here in london instead. Tom i will have to see. You may joke about it, folks. But it is not only the idea of tariffs, but coming at this time of Global Economic struggle. Much to talk about. Guestl go to our next in a moment on the virus and get his prognosis for america. First with the first word news in new york city, here is ritika gupta ok, we have a technical difficulty right now. Francine, a data check. Francine, pick it up, please, lets look at the markets.

In march and april. Yeah, and, you know, the market if you want to talk about it being the index certainly is doing that its been steady naturally the most heavily weighted stocks also happen to be the ones that are in th strongest trends they are covering up for a lot of, i think, softness under the surface. Youre not seeing this latest push higher really have the participation of the airlines and all the kind of socalled epicenter sectors that now are under a little more question about a stutter step in the reopening process. I do think the market is trying to be rational about it. Its unclear what would stop these trends, why would apple and microsoft stop going up today when they havent stopped until now except the fact that the nasdaq does look really stretched once again compared to the rest of the market there does seem to be a little bit of frothy speculation happening in some pockets of this market but thats been the case periodically for the last several weeks i guess you wou
Is another one of those mornings where it is hard for me to even construct a narrative. Disney is down, so is netflix. That can change, but there is a lot that is up, especially among the large cap tech names that are higher yeah, on the back of that jobs report, the number is quite good, but 40 of the gains came from the leisure and hospitality sectors. Its a big day for ipos. L lemonade is going public today the indication looks like that price could double on the opening. It is priced at 29 a share it looks to be between 50 and 52.
