quarters. are we witnessing the possible retail recovery? we will ask tom mcgee, ceo of the international council of shopping centers. puerto rico reaches a tentative deal with creditors. we will talk one-on-one with the governor of puerto rico, pedro pierluisi. an interview you don't want to miss. let's take a look at what's going on in the markets this afternoon. the s&p 500 is down only about .1%, 38963. -- 3896. small caps are coming down a bit harder than the benchmark index for broader stocks. the 10-year yield at 1.4136. people are buying the 10-year,

even if jamie dimon doesn't want it, and the yield is coming down. crude hovering around $60 a barrel, 60.83 for a barrel of nymex prude in new york. senior executives at goldman sachs with the latest being the bank's chief counsel leaving. more on those departures. let's bring in our reporter. over the weekend, we had reports that the head of consumer banking was leading, cohead of asset management yesterday, and now general counsel. is this a trend, what is going on here? >> to be honest, it's a bit puzzling. departures this time of year are not unusual but the nature and profile is striking. the bank had a good 2020 good first quarter by all accounts. stock is ever higher, so to see

this at a time when we should be expecting -- matt: why is this, are they getting pay packages elsewhere? it wouldn't really explain karen seymour's exit, unless we know her destination. >> if you look at it in the broader context, there is no doubt, if you worked at any wall street firm in 2020, it was a good place to be. everybody did well. a lot of those people are also realizing that it's also a great place to leave because the external market is really hot for them. banks are in some ways handcuffed in lavishing pay for employees. there is great excess in corners of the financial market. that means some of these

experienced veterans at a place like goldman are in high demand. matt: it is clear then why they would leave to work for walmart or a startup where they can get a big piece of the pie, but in terms of seymour specifically, there was an october lawsuit were a former lawyer had alleged that seymour helped shield the bank's litigation head from allegations of sexual harassment. goldman sachs said in october that the complaints were without merit, but could this do with why she has left? >> it would be impossible to speculate on that, but as you point out, there was an allegation at that point. they were very clear that it was without merit. but you have to understand, being a general counsel at a place like goldman sachs is undoubtedly a plum assignment

but also one of the most challenging jobs in corporate america. this is someone with great credentials, famous for prosecuting martha stewart, but she has also done a lot for the banks in her short three years. she was one of the ones who played a crucial role in driving settlements with multiple agencies across the world, trying to resolve the bank's scandals. at the end of the day, their role is tied closely to the chief executive officer. karen seymour was hired by david solomon, and it seems like he is now making a move, especially now that the 1mdb scandal is quite a way, installing his person in the job. karen's predecessor was at the firm for 26 years, and he came from the same firm where karen came from.

matt: we know that david solomon wanted someone who was former white house counsel the obama administration. let me focus on the 1mdb case. is karen seymour's work they're considered a success? they avoided sanctions but it cost the bank $5 billion. >> it depends on who you ask. if you ask critics of the banking industry, they will say how is it possible that the bank can turn over significant amounts of money but avoid repercussions? there was nothing in the settlement that would -- but if you ask some insiders, they would say there is no way we should have paid $5 billion to resolve that. it is a matter of perspective here. matt: great story, thanks for

joining us with the latest goldman sachs departure, after a list that has started over the weekend. we continue to see departures at goldman sachs. coming up, puerto rico bondholders cheer a deal to end it's nearly four-year bankruptcy, but the governor is not backing the plan. he joins us next to tell us why. when you switch to xfinity mobile, you're choosing to get connected to the most reliable network nationwide, now with 5g included. discover how to save up to $300 a year with shared data starting at $15 a month, or get the lowest price for one line of unlimited. come into your local xfinity store to make the most of your mobile experience. you can shop the latest phones, bring your own device, or trade in for extra savings. stop in or book an appointment to shop safely with peace of mind at your local xfinity store.

matt: this is bloomberg markets. i am matt miller. puerto rico and rival bondholders reached a tentative deal last week that would slash

the 18.8 billions of dollars owed by the federal government. it is a key step toward resolving the nearly four-year bankruptcy but governor pedro pierluisi has come out against the latest agreement. he joins us now. thank you for your time. you and the island boss legislature oppose the plan. can you tell us why? gov. pierluisi: actually, in my case, i support the economic terms of the proposed plan of adjustment. it is affordable, it is sustainable. it has the support of about 70% of the creditors of the commonwealth. i support that part of the plan. the part i object to is the one involving pinching -- pension cuts. those are not necessary. the main public pension system --

back in 2013, so that class of creditors has already been in there. you don't need two pension cuts to get the adjustments approved by the court. that is my position. i accept the plan, except for the pension cuts. matt: if you and the legislature of puerto rico feel similarly, then how can an agreement go forward? gov. pierluisi: basically, it shouldn't have pension cuts. i know a lot are not existing on the pension cuts. it comes from the oversight board. the board is of the view that they need to include these cuts to approve. i disagree. there have been a plan of adjustments, bankruptcy procedures involved with mina's apologies in the past where you had no pension cuts.

[indiscernible] as i said before, the main public pension system was already reformed in 2013, before the board came to puerto rico. matt: i want to ask about statehood. you have a position on that, but we continue to drop a line. let me ask about the infrastructure situation. you had a horrible storm into meeting to the financial issues that puerto rico deals with. as you look to make a deal with creditors, how can you continue to invest in improvements that the island desperately needs? gov. pierluisi: when i campaigned for this office last year, i campaigned on the promise that i would maximize --

for puerto rico. congress has already committed an incredible, unprecedented amount of federal funding to improve our infrastructure, make it more resilient. this includes the electrical system, the water, the road system, as well as housing for those that lost their homes back in those days. we have to do better in terms of using the federal funding. that will be good for puerto rico. it has happened anywhere on the mainland where you have a natural disaster and you have fema and hud coming in to assist the community to come back better. that is what we will do, and that is good for everybody. it is good for creditors.

once we have -- having a stronger, more resilient infrastructure will be good. people of puerto rico, creditors in puerto rico, -- matt: we did just show some pictures of the damage that was wrought. for anyone who has been there, they can attest, puerto rico is an absolutely gorgeous place that many americans love to visit. should it become a state? gov. pierluisi: yes. that is really the path. the people of puerto rico voted on statehood. it was an up or down vote. an absolute majority of the residents of puerto rico supported statehood. they did so without having any

offer or commitment on the part of congress, and even facing objection -- we supported statehood. now the ball is in congress' court. this is no different from one new mexico joined the union, when florida joined the union, alaska, hawaii. when those territories were aspiring to become states, their economies were underperforming. same is happening with puerto rico, but as you said, puerto rico is beautiful, has an amazing future. the weather couldn't be better, the population is well educated. we have an incredible manufacturing ecosystem. biofarma is strong, medical devices. and the tourism industry will do better once we get this pandemic behind us. the fundamentals are there for

puerto rico to do better, but right now we are not getting the voting rights we deserve as american citizens. we are not getting the same treatment as fellow american citizens in federal programs. that is unfair, un democratic. it is about time that we are treated as we deserve, as fellow american citizens. we have been citizens for more than 100 years, we have paid our dues. that is the path to go. matt: governor, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. governor pedro pierluisi of puerto rico, talking about the fight for statehood and the fight to come out of bankruptcy. we will agree -- will be bringing you the numbers on the earnings reports we have seen. still ahead, one of the biggest from the pandemic success stories, zoom.

matt: this is bloomberg markets. i'm matt miller. now to something that caught my eye, and that is the most read story on the bloomberg terminal over the last eight hours. a colleague of mine wrote about a company that decided, with 1000 employees, during the pandemic to cut back to a four-day workweek. the amazing thing is they saw sales rise, employee engagement rise, consumer satisfaction rose as well.

they decided to continue that experiment indefinitely. more and more companies have been doing this, moving to a four-hour work week. we saw 62 out of 10,000 job postings were for a four-day week. not sure that it will catch on globally, but before the 1900s, there was a six-day workweek. henry ford decided to give his employees a second day off. henry ford said, if i give these employees another day off, they will have more free time with their families and more of a need for their car. they will need to buy one from me. his bet paid off and manufacturers across the country followed him, normalizing what we now know as the weekend. zoom video keeps going, even as workers trickled back from their

wfh situations. the quarter was up nearly 400% at zoom, and profits soared even higher. ritika gupta has a look. >> zoom has monster growth, beating analyst expectations. zoom has become synonymous with the pandemic, changed the way that we communicate socially, the way businesses operate. you see that reflected in the revenue which continues to grow. this latest quarter coming in at $882 million, wrapping up a 360 9% growth year-over-year. remember, this company only ipo in april of 2019, but it has done very well since then. outpaced the gains of these other ipo names that we have talked about, ground strike, airbnb. zoom has come out as the star

performer, but the question is when are we going to see zoom fatigue? when will we see users peak because we have more vaccinations, people trickling back into work? zoom has been the poster child for the stay-at-home trade. we can see that represented by the orange line, done very well over the past year, u.s. stay-at-home trades. that is beating the s&p 500 in white, and the blue line, the s&p hotels index. we are seeing that reopening trade is starting to gain some steam. we are seeing some of those stocks appeared to be more appealing with the vaccine and the economy normalizing some. zoom says the pandemic has change communication permanently, so they feel they will still be relevant and will have a role to play in this story.

that is why they forecasted for the coming year 40% growth in revenues, which is less than what we had over the previous year, but it is still surpassing analyst expectations, showing the idea that this stay-at-home trade -- after those earnings results on monday. matt: the margins were higher in the fourth quarter as well. even though i assume free users are a part. i am a user but i don't pay for it. are they going to convert people like me? ritika: that is the interesting thing. zoom has given itself a nice profit, but that was an area of concern for them. if you compare it to pre-pandemic, it had 80% profit margin. today is 69%. that was an area of concern.

it is because they are giving a lot of their services for free to institutions like schools, but fee-paying customers also skyrocketed. by the end of 2020, about 460,000 in total. i don't think it is holding it back to much for now. matt: ritika gupta with your stock of the hour. coming up, we will talk about rising rates. are they becoming a threat to equity valuations? they certainly were last week. we will explore. this is bloomberg. ♪

manhattan office supplies hits its highest level in at least two decades. we discuss the health of the real estate market with the ceo of marcus & millichap. target and kohl's deliver strong quarters. is this the start of a retail recovery? we will talk about that with tom mcgee, ceo of the international council of shopping centers. amanda: we are keeping our eyes on the markets, gyrations in the yield curve and also in equities themselves today. the subgroups in the s&p 500 are definitely mixed. the cheerios, consumer staples showing strength. energy moving higher but tech is lower today, as is real estate. in toronto, it is the cheerios and energy that is sending the market higher. there is the 10-year, 1.41, the

subject of some speculation, as we saw the yield briefly get above the s&p 500. do you start to see rotation? then there is talk about what this means for the fed, will there be inflationary pressure on the fed, and force them to move sooner than they would. i want to bring in ira jersey for bloomberg intelligence. one place i wanted to start was, even as we see the 10 year rising, still at low levels historically speaking, financial conditions are still easy. square that for us, that we still see easy financial conditions. >> with spreads as tight as they are, not a lot of risk premium built into the riskier assets that tend to drive pricing and

those conditions, the yield have to be positive. the worry, and this was just brought up, is that disorderly markets, the volatility that we see on occasion is something that policymakers worry about, but it is not the level of yields itself at this level that is worrying. if you look at our model that takes into account the expectations for gdp, cpi over the next couple of years, fair valley is not far away from where 10-year gilts are at right now. it is not like yields are cheap even the future economic conditions that the markets are expecting. matt: i have a chart that i was playing around with this morning, 4319 on the terminal, shows the overnight repo rate bouncing around zero. but then you look at the treasury 30-year bond, and then

you have alligator jaws opening up. his operation twist on the way, does the fed have to implement something like that? >> that has been espoused as a solution for an issue that i think doesn't exist in the long and. on the front end, selling t-bills or short-term treasuries to try and get front and paper higher might be something that the fed could do. i don't think adding supply to the front is what the fed will ultimately do. could they? yes, that is a potential solution. but it is more likely they will use a tool like interest paid on excess reserves, and just raise that five basis points in order to get repo rates and the fed funds rate away from negative territory, where the fed does not want to see repo rates, at least in the longer-term. they will use other tools.

at the meeting they will talk about this. it would not surprise me if they did raise rates on the interest paid on reserves as well as the repo facility that has been in place for some time as well. amanda: what did you make of the talk by people like larry summers and others, that the fed would possibly have to move before they signal to the market? which is a terrible position for the fed and the markets to be in. >> one of the things we have to remember -- and it is amazing how short our memories have become. maybe that is covid related or not. when we go back to 2010, we were always pricing for a hike year to a year and half forward, and then you move on six months, and that would roll on another six months forward. the same type of thing may occur over the next couple of years. will the fed have to hike before

the dots show? maybe. 2023 is not an unrealistic scenario for when the fed may start to get away from zero. when they do, they will still be cautious and slow. the last thing they will want to do, especially coming out of such a bad recession, is to slow the economy to quickly. market pricing right now for early 2023 is not an unrealistic expectation. a 2022 hike would be. however, if they are going to hike in 2023, that means you have that dreaded taper in 2022, and that could send shockwaves in the market if they are not dissipating -- anticipating it. matt: great to have you on the program, ira jersey. amanda, i want to point out a great terminal function that bloomberg users can access, debt

go. when you pull it up, you can see holders of u.s. treasury. the faint blue line at the top is the federal reserve. they own more u.s. debt than anyone else. but it is amazing how much it has jumped over the pandemic. a nifty way to see who owns our debt, u.s. debt. amanda: it is super interesting and important. as we talk about interest rates and whether they might rise, one place it will have implications is in the commercial real estate. still a sector with great appeal, especially apparently for canadians investing in u.s. real estate. we have the ceo of marcus & millichap. this is bloomberg. ♪

matt: this is bloomberg markets. i'm matt miller. alongside amanda lang, at least in theory. we are definitely next to each other on the screen. amanda: we are like amy polar and tina fey. matt: we would probably meet in manhattan, if we had to. we could rent an apartment pretty cheaply if we had to, anyway. amanda: [laughter] cheap relative to last year. it is true, we are falling back

to 2008 levels. when i lived in new york -- and i left in 2002 -- this would not be considered cheap prices. but we are seeing this phenomenon of supply rising, so prices are falling. some opportunity out there. matt: we have seen rent fall 50% in manhattan, 18% in brooklyn or queens. if you want to be cool, you have to go to the latter, but i am not, so i am firmly on the island. commercial real estate is a huge part of what is going on there, and maybe a bigger change or milestone we are witnessing. there has been strong transaction activity in the industry. real estate firm marcus & millichap saw great results with canadian investors leading investment in u.s. properties through 2020. the ceo, hessam nadji, joins us

now. great to get some time with you. you had a banner fourth-quarter. how did that come about? hessam: thanks for having me on the program, great to be with you. we responded to the unexpected shock in the second quarter by doubling up on our client contact, coming up with different educational programs internally and externally, flooding with content and perspective. in commercial real estate, the beauty of the industry is you have a menu of choice based on risk appetite. we have hospitality, shopping centers, senior centers, housing facilities that are distressed, and then you have the stable assets, like apartments, pastored restaurant with drive-thru's, which performed incredibly well in the pandemic. the combination of that and reaching out to the marketplace allowed us to recalibrate after the second quarter, come back

with improvements after the third quarter, and that a lot of pent-up demand got released, delayed transactions came to fruition in the fourth quarter to enable us to have a record fourth-quarter. amanda: as you said, strong interest from canadian investors. what is the appeal? canadian investors willing to take some chances where there is some uncertainty, the future of real estate, back to work versus work from home. what is driving the interest? hessam: what is interesting about the canadian investment strategies, having doubling our presence in canada because we think it is a great marketplace, we are now finding these synergies with the u.s. to be bigger than we thought. that capital is attracted to higher growth rates in the u.s. local economies and different property types that canadian capital can participate in.

throughout the pandemic, candidus stayed very steady as a consumer, capitalsource for commercial real estate investment. they accounted for 33% of total investment in the u.s., up from the peak in 2015. they believe in the asset class, the growth story. our experience has been the pending recovery in the u.s., the incredible pent-up demand. $2.5 trillion of consumer spending that did not get spent because the pandemic is sitting there waiting for the right time and normalization of life to come back into the economy. not just canadians but other domestic investors are certainly positioned to take advantage of that. that is my commercial real estate is a standout with 7% yields. the great recovery story coming up with pent-up demand, but you have a bifurcation. you were talking about new york earlier. the difference between urban and

suburban markets is significant. urban markets will take a while to see a significant recovery. matt: i have always had a vacation place in canada, it is mobile, just a tent in the park. in terms of recovery from the pandemic, why do you think urban market will take longer, and how long will we take to get back to 2019 levels? hessam: if you look at what was happening prior to the pandemic, you were seeing the aging of the allete meals. 60% are now in the 30's. they drove the urbanization of america in the last years. they are moving to the suburbs and having families and so on. fast-forward to the pandemic, and now we have public transportation issues, companies consuming office space rethinking how much space they need. that doesn't immediately create a problem for office buildings because average leases still have four years to go, tenants

have to pay rent, but over the long term you'll see a combination of virtual execution of businesses, less office space, but memories are short. if you remember post 9/11, people thought we would never come back into high-rises after that tragedy, but in time, people did come back. that is why i think it will take longer, mainly because of public transportation, lowering of square footage, but once the recovery comes back in the next 24 months, you will see the bleeding of new demand into the urban market, just as we are seeing in the suburbs right now. amanda: where does the rising rate environment put itself on your risk profile? do you worry about it? hessam: not right now because we don't have inflation in the system. the fed will be so accommodative for the foreseeable future.

the 10-year yield has moved, but rates are a reason why people are able to invest right now, take advantage of the yield. amanda: great to have you with us, hessam nadji, ceo of marcus & millichap. coming up next, we have seen big declines in foot traffic in retail. we will be talking to tom mcgee, the president of the international council of shopping centers. this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪

amanda: this is bloomberg markets. i'm amanda lang with matt miller. we have seen strong reactions to lockdowns when it comes to foot traffic in malls. that does change the shape of retail. tom mcgee is with us, president of the international council of shopping centers. i want to get a bit of a check

in. i want to start with what we are seeing, the data showing big declines in the foot traffic, and malls not surprisingly were at the top of the list. what are you seeing in terms of your clientele? tom: shopping centers were at the epicenter of the pandemic in terms of crowds come etc. but we are seeing some growing optimism. positive earnings today announced by major retailers. january numbers were strong. you have the vaccine rollout, which is great news for society in general, certainly positive for retail. stimulus money, both previous and more to come, presumably with the passage of the next relief bill. just a lot of pent-up demand and savings in consumers. i am fairly optimistic about this year, once we get past the pandemic. the most critical factor is the

success of the vaccine rollout, and some positive news on that front as well. matt: when i was a kid, tom, malls were it. it was the ages of " fast times at ridgemont high" and every kid wanted to hang out at the arcade, buy some cheap accessories at claire's or whatever. is that ever going to come back? tom: i think the industry has evolved. i don't think the 1980's are coming back, but the mall sector was particularly hard hit as a result of the pandemic. if you look at the things that happened pre-pandemic, the story of retail during the course of the pandemic was an acceleration of trends. one was a changing mix of the mall sector, more towards

entertainment. because of the social interactions of that, that was hard hit. when you get past the pandemic, all of us are craving that social interaction, getting back together. i think that strategy of the mix, the duration toward experience will do well for the mall sector. retail over all across all sectors, convergence of the physical and digital world, the use of curbside pickup, and really the store as a hub for consumer engagement and fulfilling the last mile, are trends that accelerate in the pandemic and they are here to stay. i think that will drive a lot of the growth in the industry going forward. amanda: to matt's point about the changing nature of that destination place, one thing that was happening pre-pandemic -- and i cannot imagine the pandemic has reversed this --

some of the big anchor tenants were not surviving. at some point, you saw the real estate and close down. what is happening to those anchor tenants in this pandemic? tom: clearly, the retailers that went into the pandemic in a week situation are struggling, perhaps did not last the pandemic. those that came into the pandemic in a strong position will emerge. the concept of anchors in a mall or shopping center is a constant source of evolution. the move toward entertainment and other uses is clearly taking place, as well as mixed-use. looking at other forms of commercial real estate, whether hospitality or apartments, mixed-use. all of that is in play. it is property specific,

where it is situated, what the needs of that community are. matt: it's been great having you , tom mcgee, ceo of the international council of shopping centers. it looks like there is a retail resurgence around the corner here. we are seeing it in earnings. amanda, when i'm in your neck of the woods, all i need is hudson bay to satisfy my every need. but when i am near tom at east rutherford, new jersey, i need to check out the american dream, the mega mall. amanda, thanks for being with us. i'm matt miller. this is bloomberg. ♪
