banks to move faster than the half-point hike, to ease price pressures. >> reporting live from, where they may be set for a deeper drop, a market poised for a landslide residential election victory. >> the picture across wall street reduce the u.s. futures bouncing back a little bit 0.3% after the s&p 500 alta the lowest level since march of 2021. we continue to see the uncertainty as we have a fed survey from the bank of new york coming out saying that the longer term inflation expectations were rising that complicates the outlook for the federal reserve. not surprising we have a lot of uncertainty out there. the index hiking to a two month high when treasuries rally the three year yield staying above that we percent level. with that -- 3% level.

with a negative feedback loop we have the weakening pressure. and continues to weaken in the asian session, 0.3%. all of business being felt across assets, we talking about cryptocurrencies really the downside pressures. in the asian session is slightly higher and rebounding, you're talking about bitcoin being below that $31,000 level falling for six consecutive sessions already. either falling 11%, you can see solano right there plunging 21%. after that peak in november, what is this massive decline of more than 50% since the november peak? even michael coming out saying that things could get worse before they could better -- get better. >> things get worse in the asian session we are seeing a quite a lot of this -- risk of

sentiment, taking a look at australian futures we see a big drop here, .4 percent, the lowest since march 8. we also saw that big drop when it comes to commodities and risk related currencies, the aussie dollars dropping to a 22 month low, 120%, the following -- 1.2%. the volatility is also rising when it comes to some of these dollar aussie painting -- pairings. kiwi shares are down 0.9%, the kiwi dollar also dropping to percent in the overnight session. dollar-yen also on drop. is 3% away from the weakest level we have seen this entry. -- century. >> you can see the sentiment

excited he is palpable -- sentiment anxiety is palpable, the only risk acceptable is cash. blackrock's holding their cash with both hands because in a normal environment you have cap stocks and bonds shipping out of stocks into bonds and cash. right now you're getting all those funds out of stocks and bonds. that is leading to that huge spike in a demand for cash as well. >> what is looking to be very rate sensitive, similar optimistic it investors they had been hoping for, just a few months ago we were looking at the potential recovery when it comes to the likes of kathy woods flagship fund, bitcoins, cryptocurrencies, high-growth, high-risk, high reward names are continuing to be pummeled. these pandemic euro darlings, --

you're a darlings are the new symbols. , these public companies that were potentially to outperform bitcoin prices falling along with the overall market sentiment. >> what a u-turn when it comes to the overall market narrative, without some of these stocks would be spared the selloff, let's get a analysis of the market moves. also our economics editor. we are seeing u.s. stocks close to bear market, down 17% since the december pretty? -- peak? bank of america saying that if we get there we could file for 3000 levels of the s&p 500, we could fall there for the s&p 500. is there anything that could turn this around? >> what we are seeing is a very broad selloff, it is not only u.s. equities, commodities,

commodity producers, all of the risk assets, bitcoins, what it shows that investors are losing faith in the fed's ability to tame inflation, couple that with the supply chain disruptions of the content -- persisting because of the war in ukraine and the china lockdown. it is not only investors is also consumers, they are not convinced the fed can tame inflation a survey showing the prices in three years they see them higher than a month ago. they are starting to look and lean into these negative sentiments. they are looking at signs of a slowdown in earnings season, for example bank of america saying, weak demand measures have jumped this earnings season. they are looking at things like traffic to stores flagging or delayed orders normally see a slowdown. they see this negative sentiment

out there. >> 50 basis points was almost a compromise, the goldilocks,, we spoke to a lot of people that said the fed should not have taken 75 off the table. >> he certainly is not, with an interview in uber television, at the financial stability -- bloomberg television at the financial stability conference, he thinks 50 basis points at a time is aggressive enough for right now. let's listen to exactly what the president of the atlanta fed said. >> 50 basis points, over the last 20 years, you know, is already pretty aggressive move. i do not think we need to be moving even more aggressively. i think we can stay at this pace , and see how the markets evolve. >> it is interesting, that later in the day, it was a big

conference he spoke to reuters, when he is pushed he is not taking 75 basis points off the table, he wanted to do two or three 50 basis point hikes, see what it does, a lot of people are confident it will start peeking and coming back down. it is interesting, one of our chartmiesters put together in london earlier today, the s&p 500 -- the white line -- it is the redline come easy to trading days in a row where the rate hike expectations came back in, as much as a 19 basis point reduction in the amount of reduction -- points this year. is having a low bit of an impact, not enough that the fed will do as -- not enough that people are convinced that the fed will do what it takes, cpi

wednesday will make people wonder, is pretty tough. >> no wonder we are seeing the flight to safety with the dollar strength continuing. what is the outlook? >> that is right, what we are seeing is a collapsing risk off move. where do the investors go? the safest place, the dollar. some things do not change, that is the strength of the dollar during the times of market turbulence. investors are saying it will likely to continue, kathleen mentioned inflation, we see that peak, that could tip it over and turn the dollar around. i think it is too early to say. for the time being and looks that investors are flocking to the safest asset and that is the dollar. what we are seeing, as we are seeing weakness in the commodity currencies like the australian dollar because of the lockdowns

in china as well as emergency -- emerging currencies. >> so much pressure when it comes to emerging currencies, what do we see as a strategy with the rbis? the reserve bank of into the -- india despite the surprise hike, the rupee getting hit, today they are coming in intervening in the foreign exchange market they have pretty reserve -- pretty big reserves at this moment. in fact a person familiar said they are ready to do more after they saw the currency drop as much as 0.8% against the dollar in a single trading session that is an unprecedented mood -- move. it is a very high level for the currency. it is clearly, people are saying we have a strong economy, strong exports, this not reflecting fundamentals. as you may recall a lot of

exports -- experts have been warning about the potential impact of an aggressive federal reserve tightening on emerging markets. two weeks ago they put out their outlooks, one of the biggest dangers with an aggressive central bank tightening, happens to emerging markets? a lot of money is gone because they can get that a returns. you see capital flagging and bond yields revising. this is something india's taking early steps now to make sure it does not get out of hand, but who knows. >> who knows, i think that is the key phrase at the moment. . . thank you. let's get you over the vonnie quinn with the first were look -- with the first look at like. >> boys for a landslide victory the philippines -- poised for a landslide victory in the philippines election, according

to look at different plans and be openly prepared, the operation in donbas and the invasion of historical lands including crimea. >> president volodymyr zelenskyy rejected the attempt to justify the invasion by invoking world war ii, he vows to drive the occupiers out of our land, his aide, spoke with bloomberg television earlier, saying that a turning point in the war is close it but there is a critical need for more weapons from the west. global news, 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am vonnie quinn, this is bloomberg. caroline: still ahead we will have more on prunes address, why the leader could be -- putin's address why he is signaling that the war could continue for a

>> i heard some of the intro points and it sounds doom and gloom. if you look at the market and you see these unpredictable swings. what is interesting is that we have had a couple of days now where more than 90% of the market has been down. we have had a couple of days where feels like there has been indiscriminate selling across-the-board. i think what you start to see signs like this, the fear and panic of investors, no one coming in and buying, with the backdrop of 70% of corporate earnings looking positive, strong consumer balance sheets, companies positioned well to perform and grow in deliver. earnings growth in a normal environment, the backdrop of still there. it is so hard to see the bottom, that i do think the dollar cost averaging in and nibbling on some of these quality names here

is something that we look back on as an opportunity. >> what are some of those names? you look at some of the tech giants in the valuation seem to be an issue. >> absolutely, the frost has been taken out the top of these tech names, i will give you a few that i like. amazon google, microsoft, i like semi conductors, md and nvidia. -- amd and nvidia. these are at the cross-section of every technology, electric vehicles, eating to optimize factories for lack of workers, artificial intelligence, 5g, machine learning, cloud computing, these are real, tangible propositions that these companies are taking place. you look at names like amazon, consumers remain strong, though catch some wins find their sale -- winds behind their sales.

investors will miss out on opportunities on these names. >> taking a look at just how much yield is higher at the moment, we have a situation where the dollar is so strong, the real rate is screaming so much higher, you are getting the liquidity effect. i am wondering how much stronger earnings is going to have to overcompensate to overcome the fear, the changing conditions will create further obstruction for this market. >> a great question also a great point. when you think about inflation getting about that hikes, the market has gotten a little bit ahead of it in terms of pricing in rate hikes. that there is a chance that they could be a surprise and upside. in terms of inflation it we will see what happens on wednesday. if we do not see that pullback or peak on wednesday's number of may we see it the next time, i

think that some of these factors will help neutralize some of the volatility in the market. the drastic pullback of the market and allow the fed to take stock of everything happening and thing about, after those two or three 50 basis point hikes, if the need to go further. it will depend on the data. the top mega cap companies were talking about, allow the top s&p 500 names have struck -- such strong balance sheets, the real rate of where they are, it will not impact them. they will have slower a earnings growth, but it will not be an earnings growth halt. i do not think you will be a recession either. there are too many good factors in the market. a slowdown for sure, but i do not think we are recession bound yet. >> alternative asset classes like cryptocurrencies going to heat when it comes to what we see as a pullback in risk and

the sentiment, you are still pretty positive on the underlying technology. is our way to get exposure to blockchain and start step some the volatility? >> there are a few ways investors can get access to the asset class. i think it is a long-term prospect. is getting beat up alongside tech, worse than tech, almost a leverage product or derivative. the leverage is can look at it, blockchain ecosystem, crypto related stocks, you can buy coin directly through coinbase. some of the products out there, grayscale and bitwise have some trust funds that can be invested in. there is a way to have a professional manager money through those after mentioned funds or you can do it for yourself in a digital wallet. >> always great to have you with us, and for your investment

pain until placed -- inflation comes down. >> more volatility have the markets, the federal reserve bank of atlantis president saying 50 basis points is already a pretty aggressive move. speaking exclusively with bloomberg. >> the thing about our policy, the first thing that is on my inflation is too high. we need to act definitively and purposefully get that under control. if you look at what we have done, so far in the last two meetings, for me 50 basis points, over the last 20 years, you know this already, a pretty aggressive mood -- move. i do not think we need to be moving more aggressively. i think we can stay at this pace and cadence see how the markets evolve. my expectations and hope is that

as we move closer to our neutral levels and fire away from our accommodative stance, we will see allow the tightness and tension in the economy moderate which will then give us options and choices with what we do after that point. >> how far do you go? where you think you will be at the end of the year and the and of 2023? >> that is a good question, i think we need to be getting somewhere into the neutral range, different people have different ideas about what that looks like. i am looking at somewhere between two and two and half percent as our neutral range. a lot of discussions about uncertainty, carpenter referenced he was good to be here and i was excited about that saying that there was a lot of volatility, a lot of stuff a play out, once we get to the neutral level it will be fine.

in my view we will move a couple times, maybe two, maybe three times, see what happens, see how the economy responds, see if inflation continues to move close -- closer to the 2% target. then we will take a pause and look at how things are going. >> take a pause, does that mean move -- not move any meeting or do is this a rolling decision as you go along? >> for me all options are on the table every meeting. depending on how the economy is responding, could be the economy is responding well so we do not need to do anything. it could be that the economy is responding a little bit less strong so we are met with 25 basis points or we are at 50. i will keep my mind open, observe the economy, and then at dap my idea about what is appropriate -- adapt my idea of what appropriate policy looks like. >> many of your colleagues have

said you will have to go beyond neutral to restrictive. if you have 4% inflation rate and a 3% funds rate you still have a negative yield -- real yield fed funds rate. why do you think you will not do that? >> my hope, a lot of the things that are out of control, like supply chain disruptions, will start to get to a better place. we will see how the labor market response. there was a story just last week about retirees coming back into the workplace. those are things that might relieve some of the tension and labor markets and allow producers to increase the supply of products that reduces the imbalance. all of this inflation is about an imbalance between high demand and low supply that is out there. if we see it moving up on the supply side, that means we'll push less on demand. that is a decision i'm hoping will come down, how fast?

we will have to see. that will determine if we have to get into restrictive territory, if we do, how far. i am open to that, i will say, we have done surveys throughout the entire pandemic. each one has come with predictions that turned out not to be the case. i will try to be as humble as i can, be true and in the moment and not anticipate too far in advance because there is a lot of stuff that will happen. >> atlanta fed president raphael bostic geeking exclusively to bloomberg. we have the latest from marcus, the jp morgan strategist urging investors to lower their cash and also government debt exposure and by credit. markets have reached peak hawkish nist from central banks, the potential for more hawkish balls -- dovish policy suggest

craniums as being inheritors of nazi. putin made it clear that this was something he cannot and will not and the country of russia cannot back down from. he says that we will do whatever it takes to win. i do think by focusing on the donbas like he did is a much smaller set of objectives. and will no longer be regime change, the russians will stay there until they can reach their objectives and the donbas. it is impossible for them to back down now. >> if the strategy is to force a copper meister president zelenskyy, how likely is that -- a compromise from president celinda ski, how likely is that -- president zelenskyy, how likely is that? doesn't seem like there will be copper mines? -- compromise?

the limited area of the donbas. i do not think there is a risk of a large additional offensive. they can, on the other hand sit on their haunches, reinforce the forces they have their, and see whatt kyiv comes up with. my suspicion is what putin is singling his own population that we will not leave this area and singling to kyiv, come to the negotiating table and give us more these areas. we will not be leaving unless you try to push us out. >> how does thisend? president macron talked about a warning of not humiliating russia at the end of this -- >> the reality is that the data field will have an effect, i

think president macron was eluding to not getting to aggressive in trying to get areas like crimea and so on. sensibly put, there'll need to come a point where two sides, probably short ofhe complete liberation of ukraine or russia having complete control of the to hold onto. they will need to find an accord, as i was saying before, the support of the western powers will play a key role in this. if there is unlimited support ukraine, they can keep carrying on this bloody conflict, there is a lot of moral justification of that without the certainty of victory. people like macron it, and perhaps bite in the future may perhaps start -- biden in the future may start put pressure on kyiv to find a solution with moscow. >> good to have you back,
