7:01 am
to see a two year yield come in and a 10 year bond coming in with a vengeance. coming in is that signal slowdown, massive curve flattening. jonathan: 10-year yield breaking down. we are down eight points on the s&p 500. lisa, phase one was about access to capital and drawing down credit lines. phase two is about the permanent decisions, cuts and layoffs. that is what has been building this week. lisa: we have seen those cuts and layoffs likely to be ongoing with a number of cfo's studies pointing at bigger companies looking to shrink their workforce further through the end of the year. the thing i'm watching is how much can we plug the gap, the deficit of production with regards to fiscal stimulus? as we wait for that, we will be waiting for the data coming out
7:02 am
today. we get the u.s. june producer price index, measure of inflation. 1:00 p.m., this will be interesting in light of the fact that you seek shale producers bringing rigs back online due to higher oil prices. later today, president trump heading to florida for a fundraiser and an anti-drug trafficking event. what this will do is bring the focus on the virus. we have more than 4000 deaths in florida. the focus will be on what kind of corrugated effort does the u.s. have to combat the pandemic? jonathan: looking on catching up with kevin cirilli. we begin the program looking at risk assets. would you believe the s&p 500 is still positive on the week? you can think big tech for that.
7:03 am
over the last month, tension has been building. it has been recovery slowing down in the u.s. let's start the conversation with david kelly from jpmorgan asset management. which one is it, recovery derailed or slowing down? david: for the moment slowing down. people have the wrong impression from the data from may and june. the economy fell off a cliff. the important part of it is falling off a cliff. we have seen certain industries that could operate in a pandemic, shut down in april, opened in may and june. that brought back a third of the jobs we lost. we are still down 30 million jobs. is -- u can see life, that stuff in
7:04 am
is very much impacted by the pandemic. of corporations are trying to figure out what do we spend money on? how should we behave in a recession that is likely to linger into 2021? it is a wake up to reality. v.s is not a it started as a v. economics fordone years. you have melded it with political strategy. this morning, we see a stunningly low yield regime. what does that do to create urgency for politicians to pass the stimulus faster? david: it enables them to do that. the federal reserve is monetizing the debt. federal government
7:05 am
has run a deficit of $2.72 trillion. the federal reserve lent the government $2 trillion. the federal reserve is writing a check for whatever solution the government wants to do in coronation with congress. it enables the government to do more to support the economy. with the government needs to do is control the pandemic. arestries being shutdown not being shut down by a lack of consumer income. it is because consumers don't want to get onto an airplane or pile into a restaurant. it is difficult to reopen schools. we need to control the pandemic if we are going to see the next leg of recovery. markedncertainty has 2020. we have seen that consistently whether it comes to the pandemic or the next round of fiscal stimulus. as an investor, how do you operate in this uncertainty when the safe assets are so expect
7:06 am
said -- so expensive? cease to bethey safe. you have to try to cast your mind beyond the pandemic. 2020 is the year of the virus. i think those countries that are controlling the virus right now and can bring those numbers down, they can leverage the vaccine to get back to normal. that is what will happen throughout 2021. some regions will do better than others. when we get back, you want to look at those companies that are priced well today. david, we are going to have to leave it there. tensiona little bit of on the line, which is breaking down just a little bit. my apologies to our audience around the world.
7:07 am
looking around the world right now, the different tolerance governmentsdividual is absolutely amazing. look at what is happening in the sun belt in america and how the governors are responding to it. you look at a surge of infections in melbourne, australia. what happens? lockdown. the tolerance levels are so different. we all talk about the science, is beinghe science interpreted differently from country to country. tom: i will give you a distraction this morning pushing against this. intoroup advances amazon .022 with a price target of 355 it shows the digital revolution and the stock market focus you and i have talked about against all this cacophony of news on a friday morning. jonathan: it is more than that.
7:08 am
it is the performance of defensive assets in 2020. what we have considered defensive has shifted somewhat. long treasuries up around 23% year-to-date. real yields lower. the opportunity cost of holding gold shifts, gold up 19% year to date. the start of 2020 we perceive nasdaq and the big tech asset.es as a defensive gold performs. treasury performs. you expect to see that. to see the nasdaq up 21% year to date has been phenomenal. lisa: the question is are these companies worth it? is amazon worth being a global superpower that exceeds the entire size of the global retailing sector? are the valuations justified? a lot of people are saying yes.
7:09 am
they are only going to get bigger. there is not any push for antitrust movement given the fact that the emphasis is on jobs and american businesses. at what point do these stocks get too expensive? at what point will the recovery trickle out into small cap? i think it is unclear. this is the interesting tension. the surprise could be to the upside when we look at smaller stocks. yields,: low rates, low 10-year treasury breaking 60 basis points. that is part of the story. this pandemic has accelerated existing drains. we know that. the big are getting bigger. the week are getting weaker. this pandemic has made the strong stronger. balancead a strong

7:32 am
global debt is at this point in time at record levels. never in history has global public debt been so high. it is now above 100% of world gdp. it is so high because we are facing a crisis like no other. in that context, the fiscal response has been very quick and unprecedented. months, thefew response of fiscal policy is bigger than during the global financial crisis. you take together 2008, 2009, months0, in the last few , we are above the response of three years of financial crisis. that was absolutely appropriate lifelines totended

that way. so thatinterest rates, service costs are relatively low becausecent of gdp inflation and inflation expectations are very low. at this point in time as my colleague and i said yesterday, we are more concerned about too low inflation than too high inflation. the epidemic has boosted precautionary savings. for a while, we are going to have a situation where savings exceeds investments. our balance of risks points to the fact that premature withdrawal of fiscal support is a more pressing danger than the high levels of debt. lisa: there is a question of how
7:35 am
companies, foundations are spending the money they are pumping into their economies to try to support everything as it gets up and running. how good of a job our nation doing as supporting companies that are viable in the longer term versus the zombies that are just going to die out even if they are supported in the short term? >> the short-term priority is public health. support toes fiscal vulnerable households. that should be regarded as lifelines . as the situation normalizes as lockdown and as economies open gradually, you that facilitate the reallocation of resources.

this has been crucial to support firms and households. the situation is very difficult. we face radical uncertainty, and the first priority is public health. the first priority is to control the epidemic. why? only by controlling the epidemic are we going to be able to create conditions for the economy to pick up in a sustainable way, for investment to pick up and for a transition to a new model of sustainable and inclusive growth. we are not out of the woods yet. a lot remains to be done. up until now, the ability of governments to deliver timely, targeted, and temporary measures has been threatened. jonathan: appreciate your time.

always valuable to us. tom, this is about fiscal authorities acting counter cyclically when we need them to. many governments have that luxury, including the u.s. and elsewhere. europe is a different story. ask italy if they can continue to act counter cyclically if they share the debt load. in europe. that is why it is such a crucial month ahead. gaspar has advised investors in more than 120 countries. on a game theory basis, you cannot look at it as a homogenous fiscal structure. there are these individual stories that lead to unique and great challenges. italy being one of the real challenges forward.

what i find important from the are authoritative on the dynamics between markets and economics. those dynamics are now shockingly fragile. jonathan: those dynamics will be loud and clear for politicians in a couple of weeks time over in europe as they try to construct the next moves. this market has been increasingly optimistic about allocating capital to europe. we could have some real trouble. plan the 750 million euro that we put out there, this idea that it will get passed and create a new closer-tied europe. this is something i'm struggling with. people talk about the more you spend, the better. the composition of those plans in focus in washington, d.c.,
7:41 am
and elsewhere, it depends on how quickly the economy is going to grow. are they going to go to companies? individuals? the composition matters in terms of inflation and consumer spending and potential growth. jonathan: the struggle to normalize seems to be the big issue worldwide. 0.3% on the s&p 500. let me get elsewhere across assets. in europe, huge story about allocating capital to the european equity market. if you do that, you are turning your back on big tech america. has performedca in a big way. compareg can trust -- and contrast the nasdaq to the s&p 500. yields have been so sticky over the last couple of weeks.
