and so far, so good. >> what we have got is a great reshuffling. >> i do not see anti-inflation kicking in. i see inflation in a some supply chains and some goods and so on and so forth, but no jitter increasing inflation. >> this is "bloomberg surveillance." jonathan: good morning, good morning. this is "bloomberg surveillance." equity futures doing a whole lot of nothing from s&p 500 almost totally unchanged. let's go to the fx market. dollar-lera, looking at 880 early this one. you know dori when the president of turkey begins with "i spoke with our central bank have an are." you know what came next. tom: turkish lira weakness and
6:01 am
the way it was weaker. this is a soap opera. we use transitory as a drinking joke. previous was idiosyncratic. this was idiosyncratic until it is not. jonathan: rates can begin to fall. the new central bank governor, let's be clear, serving as a leader of the country in the central bank avenue for many people in this market, erdogan. tom: what is so important is to go back to the history of 2002 and the success of mr. erdogan stunting the permanent devaluation and appreciation of the lira. he got high marks for that and it has unraveled in the last 4, 5, six years. what you do, and i know we do this on a wednesday of a four-day workweek, you go to logs. even if you go to logs on the y axis, there is a curvature to
6:02 am
the lira weakness which means acceleration. maybe -- can we dare say this morning nine lira per dollar? jonathan: i had a look earlier, a 62. lisa: if you don't have a lot of circumstances for the president firing the central banker for having a rather unorthodox view, his view, then if you cut rates, somehow stave off inflation. this is not intuitive. there is a larger point. this is key. we will be talking about it the next couple of months. banks are starting to try to figure out they can do with inflation, what the inflationary pressures are come and try to understand the dynamic which has been a mystery. jonathan: we see different banks respond different into the same incoming data, whether you look at turkey -- you are right, idiosyncratic. elsewhere, the bank of canada, one, ecb, and other. each with a different reaction
6:03 am
responding to similar data. tom: the reaction function, i mentioned moments ago, this is original territory. i was thunderstruck, june busted out all over yesterday, and how correlated we are -- renewed, it is a debt market this morning but i love the way it is dead. waiting to see the economic data. lisa: oh, my god. i love the way it is dead. wow. jonathan: let's get to it, equity futures. lisa: fascinating. tom: let's go to cash. jonathan: fx market. dollar lira still positive by about 1%. that is a weaker turkish lira and stronger u.s. dollar. in the bond market, or 10 year
6:04 am
yield, 1.6062. lisa: this has not been a very interesting market. it has been pretty static. what could change it? what could ignite some sort of conviction we do not see currently in terms of what is next? 1:10 p.m., christine lagarde will be speaking at the green swan event. basically, this is bankers coming together and policymakers to talk about level climate change -- global climate change. interesting to think of that is part of the banker mandate, there increasing power, increasing political footprint. tom:, on, no. i don't agree. they're looking for a new thought and the thought is climate change. lisa: when is the next time i will hear you say thought leaders? tom: they're just picking up on the theme. i get that. help me. jonathan: now, no, no, don't
6:05 am
bring the into it. lisa: 2:00 p.m., your next favorite, the beige book. i've been looking forward to trying to sell the beige book for the past month. it will be really interesting to see the wage dynamic, how people are coming into the labor force to try to understand how much employers are having to tee up the salaries to get them into the workforce. this is not a huge mystery. we do not understand what is causing the friction that is leading to so many job openings and still so many unemployed workers. 2:45 p.m., this will be interesting, president biden meeting with the republican senator who is leading the republican effort to get this bipartisan infrastructure bill. interested to see how much structure is redefined, how much is new spending, as well as what the sentiment is in terms of getting some sort of cohesive deal. jonathan: we finally got through that.
6:06 am
amc in the premarket, absolutely flights, up more than 30% following the news and equity capital raise of $230 million. tremendous reporting from our team here at bloomberg. funded the capital raise, 230 my nose for the additional equity, then flipped it -- $230 million additional equity, then flipped it. because amc was "massively overvalued." tom: we have to get to ms. lee. jason metric is the real freaking deal. no other way to put it. a lot of people talk and more that you and jason is one of them. jonathan: we will pick up on that later this morning. let's bring in jennifer lee. i want to start with the industry comments in the past 24 hours. here are a few -- the situation does not look to improve most of the on
6:07 am
difficulty finding workers. he busy but still experiencing labor shortages. labor shortages and hiking internal and supplier reduction. give her that, treat again and again and again in the ism and repeatedly over the past several weeks. tom: the ism details that and we have to see the data. that's all there is to it. jonathan: that commentary is not going away anytime soon. lisa: including elon musk, toilet paper. jonathan: jennifer lee with us now. your take on the commentary on the ism? does that set us up for lower pram? jennifer: i focus on the ism surveys. i have been saying that for a long time. headlines are important, but it is the comments are what are important. the guys on the ground and what they are facing. seeing what -- that we have been
6:08 am
hearing for a number of months now about the labor shortages, i think it does suggest they're going to be challenges within each industry, within each sector. if you are so tight for people and looking for someone to help create these widgets, i say, i think it is going to start with stronger wages perhaps. i think we could see the return of even stronger payroll growth. i don't know if it will be in the millions. obviously it was a crazy mess last month but we have to remember during normal times, 266,000 is still a very decent figure. lisa: jennifer, on the supply chain issues for a moment longer. elon musk tweeting at 3:59 a.m. eastern time, "our biggest challenge supply chain, chips. never seen anything like it." how the fear is causing going to overwater like this toilet paper shortage.
6:09 am
is it obviously not a long-term issue? jennifer: it will depend on how you define long-term. it will not be fixed overnight. some of the experts are saying it could take years but, obviously, the big producers are all over -- other starting to create some production in north america as well. not depending on these global -- or these other countries for such a key component. we are already starting to see some relief given it was good news last week when gm said they would be reopening of a number of their global plants. it is starting to ease up a bit, so i think it is temporary but i don't think it will take years and years, though. tom: the canadian gdp data yesterday undershot all of the experts in 19 economist paul. what does that signal about our
6:10 am
guesstimate forward? are we overselling the boom economy right now? jennifer: i don't think we are. at the end of the day, comes down to whether or not the consumers are able to come out of this in strong form. so far, savings very high, i think this is -- positive news going forward. right now given we have never lived through such a pandemic before because it has been a health crisis overall, there is going to be a lot of volatility. not only for the month-to-month data, but also reporters. we will have to look at when you are smoothing out the monthly data, instead of year-over-year trends, looking at it versus 2019 that is how you will see the trends playing out. but i don't think right now that we are overselling the economic rebound. jonathan: jennifer, thank you.
6:11 am
guy's, i think i've ever seen such a big disappointment relatively speaking to any ism, in the 60's. the y is beneath the surface. lummis delivery terms going back -- the delivery terms going back to the 70's. people are struggling to find the talents, the labor force, the hires to meet this massive demand. tom: i'm going to go back to the foundation, booming as we come out with their earnings. same thing with the economy. we are lined up for a boom economy. not a let down, but nevertheless, it will be the news. then we have to reframe q4. the major issue for me is how to the experts we speak to frame the end of this year? jonathan: and before we get to the end of the year is the struggle of everything coming back online almost seemingly all
6:12 am
at once. lisa: and people don't understand the extent of their friction. and thus it is hard to tell how long they could potentially last. jonathan: we will continue with andrew stanley coming up around the corner. futures up 0.5 points. there you go. i was back at 4200. -- almost back at 4200. is it wednesday? it is wednesday morning. tom: i have to do my thought leader read in. lisa: with the mimosa. jonathan: this is "bloomberg." ♪ >> the rules largest meat producer will have the vast majority of its stocks open today following a cyberattack. jbs as the systems are coming back online according to union official. the cyberattack forced a shutdown of all of jbs be plants

6:20 am
package, it is already present this out -- i it to house, the senate is already considering it so it is going to the process far more. this is a more expensive bill than the one named dr. john lewis. that one focuses on very specific law and part of -- supreme court in 2013 struct part of the law on preclearance, having the justice department review elections in certain parts of the country that have had a past that have had potentially racist implications. the idea was with the john lewis act, democrats are interested in that bill, but to bring it up they have to build a case to make sure they can present that bill and present that legislation and it can withstand a challenge from the supreme court if someone decides s toue like they did previously. tom: does this all get figured out for the first november -- first tuesday of november?
6:21 am
emily: a does not look good. they need the 10 republican votes in the senate or the filibuster needs to be change. at this point, neither of those possibilities seems like a reality. senator joe manchin and kyrsten sinema, not unsupportive of the filibuster, however, they did get called out my name by president biden yesterday who really called them out and said they are selling progress on momentum on a rights package. lisa: i haggle over how to go about crafting this plan. we have a serious threat if it continues to mount, a hacking threat. whether it is the solarwinds issue that stymied the pipeline or overnight the jbs be processing disruptions that do seem to be evading a bit but raising a question of how much a cyber security threat there is and what the u.s. is doing to combat that. what is the response i capitol
6:22 am
hill? emily: this is something lawmakers have been looking into. they plan on holding hearings, looking at less inflation, trying to see what can't be done. unfortunately this is congress of things tend to take a while. they do not move at lighting speed unless there is a big crisis but something that is on the radar for many lawmakers and something that impacts their constituents and their districts back home. you've seen president biden try to move a little bit was certain executive orders but the real push is going to be coming from congress and legislation that is being formulated right now in the back rooms, and i expect we might see something fdot i now larger infrastructure package, perhaps standalone legislation. lisa: i understand things don't move at light speed in washington but this is not a new issue. people have been talking about cybersecurity is one of the key threats to the nation, both on the military front and on some of the key infrastructure points.
6:23 am
have they outlined what they have done, how much in terms of protection against similar types of hacks like this? emily: the question is, how much can the federal government tell a private company to do with its security? those are the parameters we need to set up. as we saw with the most recent hack, as huge impact on the pipeline not just in the u.s., but internationally. it delays data that a lot of media producers rely on. to a certain extent, with the recent hacks, are seeing how hacking one private company has massive, massive impact on american infrastructure, on the american public. i would imagine that would allow legislation that is in the works and the government say, hey, we do have someone here to ask you to up your security because of the widespread impacts we've seen in the recent hacks. tom: we're deep in the month of june. we have to get to june 7. what should we expect june 7?
6:24 am
emily: hopefully, we will be given some sort of answer on whether democrats and republicans are going to go for in a bipartisan manner on infrastructure. i think that meeting today will be a pretty big and dictation of that. over the weekend, you heard pete buttigieg layout the june 7 date as the new sort of deadline for compromise. the last deadline got blown, so no guarantee on what is going to happen. democrats are putting the pressure on the biden administration as well as the leaders in congress saying, hey, if we want to get a bill done, we need to start writing it, passing it, and we need to get this process underway because if we wait too much longer, the voters will not see any sort of difference in their districts before november 2022. jonathan: emily wilkins, thank you. i am waiting for someone on the left to tally -- give up meat. lisa:?

6:32 am
step in your shoes. what was it like, jack ablin, boston university years ago, the first day were you had to pretend to be see bodie? jack: i think there was a lot of disappointment in the classroom. one of those things where i had to stay a couple of weeks ahead of the students, but i muddled through. probably did not want me back again, but i did teach my own class and a capital markets and i did get a couple of students to sign up for that. a bit of success. tom: any of the textbooks in this market were are we -- or are we in an original market. ken z bodie has been promoting the i bond stub there was an article in "the wall street journal" this weekend talking about the .5% inflation
6:33 am
protected bond -- three point 5% inflation protected bond. the problem is you can only buy $10,000 a person. certainly, much better yield than what is available and at capital markets. lisa: when tom keene starts writing headline banners, you know nothing is going on in the market. i want to talk about the boredom. why is it so boring? what are people waiting for to have more conviction? jack: from my view, we are waiting for the central banks. there are sickly just keeping a lid on rates. -- they are essentially just keeping the lid on rates. if i were to look at the data, we historically have the 10 year treasury tracking nominal gdp and nominal gdp this quarter and next quarter is likely to be close to 10%, it just does not make sense to have a 1.6% 10 year yield but the fed is in
6:34 am
control of that market and on market vigilantes are pretty much hiding. lisa: hold on. so the calm right now, is that setting up a policy era? should they come out with conviction on what transitory means? jack: i believe so. unless they are right. unless everything peaks this quarter or next and it neatly comes back down-to-earth, i think they are making a policy era by just keeping the foot on the accelerator, particularly with quantitative easing. the overnight market can kind of work around and compensate for itself. that is why we are single rally and other things certainly move higher. a detail near is the benchmark -- the 10-year is the benchmark for capital markets. even my copper-gold model is
6:35 am
segment 10 year treasury should be 2.85 right now, not 1.86. lisa: how do you get a head of what you say is a policy error? jack: we are playing chicken. we will try to stay in as long as possible. i know fed president bullard told kathleen hays about a month ago there waiting for 75% inoculation rate among american adults. we originally expected that to be mid june but we forgot to account for the holdouts, so we're looking at probably four weeks to six weeks before they start talking about caper. then i think we have a difficult time with particularly growth markets. tom: i want to go back to the idea of ambivalence. i love how you talk about the boom market we are in, of 30% or so the last 12 months and
6:36 am
really, people are not on board. there seems to be an ambivalence away from outright bullishness. which way does that turn? jack: it is funny. i would love to be able to latch on inside that is a bullish ignore. unfortunately, sentiment only works at extremes. i call it more a spice than an ingredient. right now i think we have roughly percentile -- 57% bullishness. nobody really knows which way this market is going to go, so part of it is near-term -- i guess it is incrementally bullish. there people that could potentially buy. we are getting great news on the earnings fight. we are getting some great news on the economic front. i will be curious to see what happens in jobs this friday. near term, i think there is some
6:37 am
movement forward. this central rate is looming, at least over my head. tom: if you look at the ambiguity of inflation, there is good inflation up to a certain point and then not good inflation or less good inflation. do you have a number for that? do you have a point in your head were the ambiguity of inflation becomes harmful? jack: yeah. it is really more that persistence. we are starting to see expectations rise in short-term and intermediate term. we can handle 2% pretty easily. we get above 3%, i think that is problematic. when you have companies like mcdonald's talking about $50 an hour -- granted, we are not -- $15 an hour, granted, we're not were 60% of the american workforce was unionized that had
6:38 am
tpi escalator clause is built into the contracts, but when you hear walmart and mcdonald's come amazon all talking about $15 an hour wage, that becomes a little more persistent in my view. jonathan: jack, have to leave it there. jack ablin, cresset capital chief investment officer. want to turn to brent crude. $71 a barrel. the smallest move lower, iran says the nuclear deal differences are solvable. they might be solvable. the smog tom: on the screen, it sticks out like a sore thumb. we have seen a lot of statistics. is anybody out there is a thought leader, i'm asking you,
6:39 am
as a thought leader, do you see anyone framing $80 a barrel? jonathan: when i think of a thought leader, i think of jeff currie. tom:, on. jonathan: because of the demand shock. we are facing the demand shock right now. everywhere you look, you see it. the ism data yesterday. lisa, talked about autos earlier on this morning. on a production. the struggle to find the chips to produce the autos, the struggle to find workers to make the course. lisa: oil demand is picking up more quickly than even opec-plus thought and even some of the big analysts in the field. warren patterson of ing expects oil demand to be at 98% of pre-covered levels by the end of this year. that is vastly more aggressive than previous estimates. yet you're still hearing the d word, discipline. jonathan: the headlight in u.k.,

6:50 am
mutually exclusive. i think we can do a lot to support the global response, especially in places where they are not seeing the downward trend yet. we can do that by sharing vaccine, supporting health care worker response if places need personnel support. we can share policies. and we can do it by being good stewards of the vaccine and the resources that we have, so making sure we get vaccinated here as well. lisa: vaccine safety is still a concern and israel linking a condition to both the pfizer and fundtech covid vaccine. it is a recognition. most who experienced it had pre-existing medical conditions. how worrisome have the potential side effects been you have been reading about? >> i think side effects can be worrying and feel scary to the general public, and i completely understand that. to me, what is significantly
6:51 am
more scary is covid-19. it is all of the side effects are important to be aware of and look into the underlying health impacts they have. but covid-19 is a dangerous disease. it is way more dangerous than the vaccines. i think we are seeing that in the data, the responses, even in the adverse reporting systems. sing there are adverse events and we are able to identify them and even look into what are the underlying causes is important because it helps us make better vaccines but also helps us to know the vaccine safety mechanisms in place are working. lisa: i feel there is this fear and hope measure that seems to be flipping from one to the other when it comes to covid. he either had people filling like everyone is going to die from covid or everyone thinking it is not that big of an illness. now that we have the most vulnerable individuals vaccinated, what is that correct
6:52 am
messaging for less vulnerable, people completely healthy who have not yet been able to even get the vaccine? >> the messaging is they should do whatever they can to get the vaccine. do whatever they can to get the vaccine. while it is not as dangerous for a young and healthy individual to get covid-19, it is still a really bad illness. while some people may have mild courses, we don't fully understand the long-term impacts of getting covid, especially that first infection. doing everything you can tend not get covid-19 is really important, even if you're otherwise young and healthy. tom: one of our experts brought this up the other day, let me bring it up with you, are we at some level where you equate the statistics of covid with the
6:53 am
