7:03 pm
6%. that will be the second-best reading of the year. we continue to see concerns about a potential recession in the u.s.. that has pushed oil prices down. you mentioned the first back-to-back oil prices in losses since early april. we see pressure in the asian sessions. trading around the $106 level. we saw all of these concerns. the treasury markets signaling warnings about recession with the two year yield dropping the most on a weekly basis since may or so. fears eased a little friday with the 10 year yield rising. university of michigan is showing inflation expectations were not as bad as many feared. haidi: markets are still rattled by worries of rising interest rates. the volatility index, the fear
7:04 pm
gauge of stock investor sentiment is well below levels we have seen in the past. bloomberg chief rate correspondent fraser, garfield reynolds. you have seen a lot of gains for the s&p 500 last week driven by defense and bond proxies. how much volatility and fear is in the market even as we see recovery? garfield: i think there is still plenty of fear out there. last week, part of what helped explain the move was bond yields did finally come back down, so, whether or not inflation peaked, there would be some potential bond yields would peak. that has a direct influence on share pricing. investors use benchmark government bond yields to judge where prices should be, the
7:05 pm
shares, how they should factor in potential earnings relative to the borrowing cost. that had a mechanical influence. i think that there was also some people looking for, you know, where they can deploy money thinking shares are gone. the previous week, there was capitulation. if you are looking for a bottom to pick, this might be a bottom. as we get closer to the quarter in, happened, potential positioning closes, playing the role. oil also help. the problem does linger. inflation keeps coming hotter than expected, hotter than 40 years. even as oil prices come down now, they are still a long way up from where they were a year ago, 44% higher today than one
7:06 pm
year ago. that will seep through into inflation for at least the coming few months and make it harder to see central banks easing. this will keep putting pressure on consumer demand. shery: that is the problem, right? goldman sachs is seeing consumer starting to tighten their belts. what will that mean for corporate earnings from here on out when it comes to the stock market? garfield: there was some thought at various stages that shares were a better place for money then bonds during inflation because companies could at least pass on those cost pressures to consumers. however, if you've got consumers crying uncle, saying we tried as much as it would take to maintain, what it was like to be
7:07 pm
buying because inflation is too high, that is a direct impact on corporate earnings. inflation rate and interest rates are higher and going higher still. if you have the concern that companies will get squeezed by higher borrowing costs on one hand and weaker revenue flows on the other hand, that is part of why the fear factor will remain. also, it's not as elevated because this is a slow burn, slow torture that companies are facing rather than the sudden shock we had with covid or the global financial crisis. shery: it is a slow burn for these companies, but we know that energy prices, food prices soaring are really hurting
7:08 pm
households and companies. with the war in ukraine ongoing now a group of seven leaders is committing to provide indefinite support to ukraine for defense against russia's invasion according to the text of the draft joint session from the summit in germany. annmarie: g7 leaders spent the day in the bavarian alps. how do they support ukraine and at the same time address higher energy costs? according to communication, they will commit indefinite support for kyiv coming in the form of humanitarian aid, financial aid, political aide "for as long as it takes." that wording is important because many of the leaders are expecting the war to draw god. some like germany and france are

7:12 pm
even though it was widely anticipated and is a draft opinion was lead to more than one month ago, there has been confusion in the last few days as soon as roe was overturned by the supreme court at least nine states with more than 40 million people band abortion right away. clinics were closed even though there were people there to get abortions. appointments were canceled and they were sent home in at least nine states. in a number of others including popular states like texas they are waiting for their so called trigger laws to make it through the court. those are basically triggered by the supreme court ruling to take up to 30 days before the bands go into effect. 26 states will have at least that either abortion band or it will be severely core tailed -- severely curtailed given the supreme court announcement friday. the other 16 states will have
7:13 pm
some form of abortion on the books. some states like california, oregon, and washington that came out with a joint memo over the weekend saying they want to be sanctuary states where they help women in other states you cannot get abortions from there because these are states who do have abortion laws on the books. we will see a patchwork. we will see almost two americas when it comes to abortion rights. the other question is given some commonsense justice clarence thomas gave whether other rights like contraception or gay marriage could be curtailed or overturned given the president of overturning grow -- roe v. wade. haidi: two americas when it comes to the socioeconomic gap. a number of corporations are already alleging employee travel
7:14 pm
costs to be covered if they need them. jodi: right. a number of corporations say they support abortion rights. they tended to be in states that already have those protective laws on the books, new york, california, illinois. they have come out and said that they will pay for the abortions and travel costs of employees who need abortions who will travel across two states -- you will travel across state lines to get them. there is no real estimates of how many people will take advantage of this. but, a number of companies including disney, meta, uber, and amazon have come out with statements reiterating this. a number have made the case, have said this. a number have come out over the past few days and reiterated that they would pay for these travel costs as well as any

7:18 pm
expectations have drifted up. they do drift up when we have high inflation. the longer runs are remaining fairly anchored and anchored around our average 2% inflation target. they have inched up, but not in the way you would expect them to do if you were using the anger. we have really gotten behind. shery: fed presidents mary daly and james ford speaking over the weekend. we will hear from central bankers including jay powell and christine lagarde at the ecb form starting tuesday in portugal. g7 meeting continues in germany followed by a nato summit in madrid where the group will lay out their joint position on china for the first time. this is ahead of the hong kong 25th anniversary of its return to chinese rule on friday. president xi jinping is expected to make his first trip to the city in five years. haidi: let's bring on our next
7:19 pm
guest who says the concerns around the speed and magnitude of the slowdown are really key. great to have you with us. talk to us about your best guest about -- best guess about the recession and how deep it is likely to be? >> thank you for having me on the program. there is a difference between individual country recession and global recession. there is a fear that the developed world will go into a recession or is in one at the moment because of what is happening with high inflation and stocks we getting in economic indicators. we think there is a bigger chance of arrest session in the u.s. in the next 12 to 18 months has rate rises really had consumers. consumer spending is already starting to show some signs of that. i put the chance for u.s. recession in the next year at
7:20 pm
about 50%. we could see a negative june quarter. after a negative u.s. -- quarter in march may be the u.s. is not negative at the moment but it depends. in australia i think the risk for recession is lower. we seem to have other things like strong spending from the government keeping our economy positive. we are not necessarily likely to see global recession right now or in the next 12 months. but i think that some countries may experience recession-like activity into 2023. haidi: we are getting industrial profits from china and pmi data later this week expected to show the continued recovery. how strong is the return of chinese demand story when it comes to australia? we still have the commodities boom. but there is a lot of risk aversion when it comes to the aussie dollar. diana: australia has been quite
7:21 pm
fortunate in the last six months. all sorts of commodities, agricultural, but oh, iron ore, call, that has benefited all kinds of trade. despite china being in a lockdown earlier this year and only starting to resume normal economic activity now that has not really hit our national income balances. so as china comes out of lockdown, it should be positive for our trade power even more. but the biggest story now is the big rise in commodity prices. shery: let's talk more about that and how perhaps it is increasing costs for other countries including china. ppi really remains elevated. metals prices are key when it comes to this surge. how much will it affect the broader chinese economy? inflation, especially on the consumer space has been muted.
7:22 pm
with prices continuing to surge, what will be the cost to households, businesses, and the overall economy? diana: the question is whether businesses can pass on rises in income prices. profit growth is ok. the economy has taken a hit over the last few months because of lockdown. but i would not characterize it as weak. the physical stimulus done this year -- fiscal stimulus done this year is probably equal to the start of the pandemic in 2020 and it should drive strong economic growth in china this year between 4.5% to 5% this year. that is ok but a little below what the authorities would probably like to see come close to 5.5%. there is room to raise prices
7:23 pm
for consumers because, as you said, consumer prices have still been quite low. shery: what about the fact that unemployment also seems to be going up in a country that is really careful about maintaining social order? and, how important jobs are on that front. diana: that is probably a reflection of the lockdown. given that we are only starting to see the resumption of normal activity, probably, we would expect the unemployment rate to trend a little lower now. i am optimistic that huge levels of stimulus will work to increase economic growth there this year. shery: amp investor and senior economist, thank you for joining us. we are looking for a lot of economic data this week out of asia. we have plenty more to come. this is bloomberg.

7:34 pm
to a 2001-ish recession. >> that was the bottom end of the historical range. the top end is 5.5 percentage points. if we do have a recession, it's likely it would be on the shallower end for two reasons. one, private sector balance sheets are in better shape, and while inflation is high, i don't think it is as entrenched in expectations as it was in previous high inflation episodes. >> we just got off a couple of weeks where people were ratcheting up expectations, about 4%. here we are looking at a huge rally. can you translate the rally we have seen through an economics lens, whether it seems plausible
7:35 pm
in your mind? >> our forecast is a terminal rate. we think we will get there by the end of 2022. we do not have any additional rate hikes in 2023 because the economy is decelerating, inflation is coming down. at that level, the fed would probably hold. you are right. we have priced something around 4% immediately after the fomc meeting but i think people have looked at the fact that the economy is decelerating and that has led to a reversal of that. i think fundamentally that's appropriate. >> given the fact we are seeing a deceleration but not when it comes to inputs into inflation, we are seeing rent climate of record pace, disruption to oil
7:36 pm
supplies and food supplies causing increases. when do you start to talk stagflation, a fed forced to act despite an unemployment rate rising and weakening data? >> it is more mixed as i look at the inflation indicator. no question, the last cpi and red number was bad. there was an increase in inflation expectations. but, the supply chain is getting better. you look at the supply chain deliveries, business surveys are coming down. wage numbers in 2022 has been lower than the second half of last year, and broadly speaking, inflation expectations, look at the breakevens and the bond market, very well he cared. -- anchored. in an environment where growth comes to a below trend pace, i don't think the fed would keep

7:47 pm
diversity, it's not only about candidates like myself who have obvious diverse backgrounds, but it's japanese people with different kinds of lifestyles. in politics we are overrepresented by men from a certain generation who come from a specific economic and emily background. it's important all parties recognize this is outdated and what is needed is the people to speak with their votes, especially during the selection and elections going forward that they are looking forward to more diverse candidates. denominations we are seeing is a testament to that. people that have pushed for more representation. haidi: if you are successful, but would be your policy priorities? guest: i have placed a
