6:01 am
morning, good morning. this is "bloomberg surveillance, live on tv and radio. tk has been shadow band. we will talk about that later. features up by .4%. looking ahead to next week, the federal reserve. lisa: perhaps some indication of what we are looking for. the first of a couple of last key data points before the meeting. the market has been meandering. jonathan: michael han looking at the next three meetings, he wrote question goals as the fed goes 50, 25 and then stops hiking. he said housing says 50, 25, 25 and solid credit market says 50, 50, 25 hot labor market says they go 50 three more times. what is the fed focusing more on, the earlier story credit and
6:02 am
what's happening with financial conditions and crude or the hot labor market? lisa: you can put a little snark in that they have fit different narrative when it is convenient. they have been pretty persistent looking at the labor market and yesterday we got the atlanta fed wage tracker data that showed wages ticked up in recent meetings and not what the fed wants to see. 50 basis point seems to be the consensus. jonathan: most important cpi. crude is negative on the year and energy stocks are up 50%. jp morgan yesterday, we believe there is a tactical trade to sell energy stocks. ultimately, he says the following, an enormous gap has
6:03 am
opened between energy stocks and energy commodities and said it is a tactical cell. lisa: interesting that he focuses on equities being too high and oil prices being too low. i think about that, especially with china reopening. why have we not seen a bigger move as many analysts had said china's story has changed the overall expectation and how quickly they will open. it seems that they are committed and laying the groundwork. jonathan: latest reporting around tesla coming in, according to people familiar with the area, tesla will suspend output in stages at a shanghai car factory in the end to the month into early january. it is slowing consumer and upgrades. the stock is up by .4%. lisa: maybe be the founder of tesla is distracted by other
6:04 am
things. jonathan: i want to hear from the company to find out what is actually going up. we will check in with the ceo. lisa: and also with demand in china and how much they are feeling pressure from western nations to move away from chinese production and sales. jonathan: matt miller will join us as well. tuning in this morning, futures up by .4% on the s&p 500, nasdaq futures up i .5%, and the euro-dollar not doing much 1.0561. lisa: 8:30 a.m. is what i am watching and it is the most important cpi report we will get from the last one until the next
6:05 am
one. the producer price index, do we see ongoing deceleration and do we get a sense we have seen peak core invention -- inflation. there isn't enough conversation about what the trajectory is from there. it is a fast deflationary or a slow grind with a boomerang effect underlying the index? xi jinping will have a conference today. how much are we looking at laying the groundwork for a reopening? hang seng index saw a 29% rally in the month of november, the biggest going back to 2003. the world is expecting them to reopen how are they playing an -- playing a groundwork? i know you race issue with this with the michigan consumer
6:06 am
sentiment but attracts inversely the gasoline prices and gasoline prices have come down dramatically to the lows lovers -- lovers going back to january so will we get a boom of discretionary spending and how does that play out? jonathan: if you call 600 people on the phone -- lisa: 800 -- jonathan: if called him up in america the view on inflation looking out five years is probably shaped by what is happening in front of them and crude and gas prices are at the epicenter. lisa: you mention what happens five to 10 years out and you have seen some consistency. does this give the fed confidence that the expectations are in? jonathan: that is not up to me. that happens up at 10:00. jose rasco joins us from hsbc
6:07 am
bank. i was going through notes, underweight, until, what would make you shift from underweight to adding more equity risk? jose: we expect a lot of volatility as we replace earnings. the economy is going to slow and we will continue to see disinflation. markets will get down and when we see the re-rating of earnings from 6% to 7% towards zero, that is the point we would be adjusted in looking at u.s. equities. lisa: what is the biggest, we go into recession earlier or later than people expect? jose: i would say later, because we want to get it over with and look at the growth prospects for 2024. we have continued disinflation and the potential that the fed could lower rates in 2024.
6:08 am
we want to get it over with and start looking towards better growth and earnings in 2024. that is our hope. lisa: it is hard to understand how to trade data points as they come out. we have seen a softening in inflation and people believe in a soft landing once again. his answer to buy risk assets or the more we prolong the sense of a recession part of the fed has to go in the harder the landing? jose: i would argue, everybody is focused on the cpi. it is a bit of a red herring are you should be looking at wages. wages are growing in excess of 5% and the last cycle they grew 2.4%. that is the sticky number that needs to go down. look at the railway deal with the government. we are seeing price hikes in the labor markets and the only thing that will get that down is higher unemployment. jonathan: how much upside risk is there around the terminal rate relative to what is already
6:09 am
priced? jose: you them going 50 in december, 50 in february in another 25 in march and we think that is it at that point they can take a pause and not a pivot. and then they will look at what they have done and we reassess. you will see a slower economy in 2024. jonathan: if we get a recession, based on your understanding, do you believe they won't cut interest rates? do you believe they will not cut interest rates in the face of a recession in america? jose: it will depend on the inflation data heavily led by wages and i think you will see softening in wages through the earlier parts of next year. this year, we had 27 to 30 states raise the minimum wage in january, the highest dollar amount and percentage increase we have ever seen.
6:10 am
that was a big push up in raises , -- wages. lisa: we read the stephen major note recently about how 10-year gilts will go back down to 2.5% i the end of next year and going back to the same -- by the end of the next year and going back to the same rates we have been used to. do you load the boat with bonds in anticipation of the rally? jose: we like bonds and the short end of the curve. if you look at the long and, any yields we are seeing globally, we have weakness in the europe and struggling growth in parts of asia, so u.s. treasuries will remain well bid. 2.5% is more important directionally than the data point and the long end of the curve remains well because of those actors and the strong dollar.
6:11 am
that does make sense directionally. jonathan: wonderful to get your thoughts. jose: one final thing if i could. jonathan: 20 seconds. jose: keep an eye on the near shoring theme is that is something that will propel economic activity in 2023 and beyond and a major shift in what is going on in asia, a theme we could investigate the next time i come on but happening quicker than people thought. jonathan: that is the tees for the next appearance. looking forward to the conversation. lisa: so generous. jonathan: interesting thing, the shoring. politico said kyrsten sinema is changing from democrat to independent peerages that i don't think anything would change in terms of the senate. lisa: the big takeaway and 2022
6:12 am
was the shift to center and we see it with a lot of who is winning and which type of candidates and how much will that and kate who the candidates will be in 2024. jonathan: she is not talking about whether she is running for election in 2024 which is an important line. lisa: if you are running again, does that make you easier to move away from the party's structure. jonathan: later, on the futures market. in the bond market, yields basically unchanged. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ lisa: with the first word, i'm lisa mateo. producer price index released to

into a little bit of data later on this morning. we get the ppi data. futures up by one third. the latest reporting from senator cinema saying she is switching from democrat to independent. she says she is switching party affiliation but won't caucus with the republicans. lisa: unclear what this means in terms of the balance of the votes and will she run for reelection. do you need the party system to back you if you hope to get elected or can you run effectively as an independent and win. jonathan: in your city, -- in a new york city, and maria stopping by.
6:19 am
-- anne-marie is stopping by. annmarie: the reason why we don't have the interest closing the loophole was because of senator cinema. political reporting called it neat and tidy but it doesn't look like she will change how she conducts business on the floor. we have an independent when it comes to senator sanders and always votes with the democrats but it is a little bit of a blow but they thought they gain this ecstasy and now she is saying potentially this means she may lean into more of the republican caucus. lisa: emma getting carried away saying there has been a huge shift to the center and the way we haven't seen for years with the midterm elections and with respect to a kinda bipartisan work has gotten done? annmarie: you can point to that depending on the issue. what we have going to the desk, the same-sex marriage bill, within two dozen republicans
6:20 am
voted for that in the house. then we have the defense spending bill. democrats had to say we will give it to the republicans and what they want is the fact that the military has this coronavirus mandate for troops. democrats didn't want to do it but they had to do it to get spending the defense bill. you had a number of times they had to come to the middle and republicans realize it because it wasn't the red wave and the democrats still have control of the house into next year may have legislative agenda they want. lisa: can someone when a major election without the major political party behind them? annmarie: you mean an independent winning president? hoeven independence -- there have been independents running. how do you have the money to go to a third party? jonathan: can you imagine if the

former president made a run as an independent. that would, ok thanks for the republicans. annmarie: i look at the money factory -- that would be problematic for the republicans. annmarie: i would look at the money factory. you won't have a wall street pundits behind him. jonathan: senator of arizona said she is switching to independent. a controversial prisoner swap. annmarie: brittney griner looks like she is back in the united states. what i would say is this has been welcomed in washington. everyone wanted her home but it hasn't come without questions of why paul whelan is still left behind, and that is how he feels . it is the republicans but also democrats. a quick quote from bob menendez, a democrat and chairman, should
6:22 am
be a moment of deep reflection for the us government to recognize we have a serious i'm with hostagetaking and we cannot ignore the release -- have a serious problem with hostagetaking and we cannot ignore the release of viktor bout. lisa: how much are we worried about that he is still a dangerous person wanted by russia. how concerned are people who spent years trying to prosecute him? annmarie: a number of them who look at this and saying he is a headache for putin now that he is back in russia because they will not have him go around the world trying to conduct arms sales. it was embarrassing when he was arrested, he made the put to the wayside in russia and that will be it and he will be living out his life and i don't see him traveling around the world.
6:23 am
do the russians even want him back at this point, some are questioning. jonathan: clearly they do other prisoner swap wouldn't have happened? annmarie: at the same point, the united states is making tons of noise for brittney griner for the russians and some are even saying that was a headache. they also have other things, they want to get their fertilizer out into the market. jonathan: overwhelmingly, people are happy that this person has been returned back to america. there was the feeling this exchange is very lopsided. isn't that ultimately the criticism coming from all corners? annmarie: it is coming from republicans and democrats and they feel it is lopsided. the united states traded an athlete for an arms dealer and that is how it is being viewed in washington and many are saying we were going to give back viktor bout who is this incredibly dangerous individual
6:24 am
serving a 25 year sentence in the united states, selling arms to terrorist groups who had targets on american backs, why did we also not get paul whelan? then there is a ton of pressure in the administration to bring back paul whelan, even more so now and who is going to be that trade. lisa: as we talk about the prisoner swap that is controversial, we talk about increase in national defense spending getting past. annmarie: $25 billion more than the president wanted. lisa: what does this tell us about where the tensions are, not just russia but also china and how the u.s. is arming up? annmarie: this to us you it is a democrat-controlled at the moment senate, house and white house and a massive defense spending bill, it hundred million dollars is going to ukraine and more going to taiwan and this has to come down to competing and defending with china.

also unchanged. do you want to hear what consensus looks like, it looks like what we heard from david balin at city. david: it is going to be a tale of two halves. markets lead the economy and they are telling us the first half of next year will be a different guilt period -- difficult period. the second part will be the markets looking at 2024, a recovery from whatever recession. jonathan: only times have we heard that? -- how many times have we heard that? lisa: this is the consensus. the problem we have been talking about is that ysl if you think everything is going to rally after a brief pause? how much does that support the market. and jose rasco said, the bigger risk is that we don't get a
6:32 am
recession in his view, at least not now, because that means it will be a harder landing when it comes. jonathan: the biggest risk is not owning going into 2023 it was said if we don't get the recession. lisa: does that mean you don't get a recession or it is a tactical feel for the beginning of next year? this is what we have been hearing from different individuals saying they think they are bullish on stocks in the beginning of the year but that is a bad thing for later on in terms of returns. jonathan: here is a quote, the us recession is a popular forecast because it is hard to vote against the fed. freya beamish joins us. what is that? freya: i think that might have been my colleague just to give
6:33 am
due credit. but it is something we use quite a lot because there is a lot of it out there. it is when you want to have your cake and eat it essentially. the fed doesn't want to tighten financial conditions to the extent would be necessary to really guarantee the recession coming through. they don't say they want a recession they need to get that and there paradigm of things. it speaks to the two scenarios you can see for next year that hinge on what the fed is going to do. you can get for some of the dynamic from 20 carries over into 2023 -- from 2020 carries over into 2023 or some of the dynamics that prevailed in the pre-world coming back and giving us this period and we will get a
6:34 am
phase two of what we saw in 2022 , which is essentially a rebalancing of financial wealth into line with the real economy. no matter what scenario happens in 2023 kind of what we think the investor should be using it to position for the bigger picture coming after that, which is one of higher inflation, talking not getting back to the 2%, maybe 3% or higher and higher growth and higher yields, especially when you add in the greater uncertainty we are facing in the deteriorated geopolitical and natural environment that is the reality of today . that means higher yields and lower valuations where we will end up in the rest of the 20 20's. in 2023, there is this liberal era where it is not clear what is going to happen and there is
6:35 am
a consensus there will just be a concession and then you buy and every thing will be ok because it will not be that much of a deep recession . it is easy to buy into that. there is nothing to say it there will be a persistent recession in the u.s. because the liability doesn't give any reason for persistence of the weakness in the economy. the parliamentary argument is more that the fed goes 50 this month and that means this is it for financial conditions. and then you get inflation coming back down, a three-month annualized rate and core inflation could get down to 4% by q2 of next year and then the fed looks quite tight if they get to the 5% by some people's standards. it is about the speed of the adjustment they have made rather than the level of rates they have reached for taking this for
6:36 am
a long-term perspective. if you are waiting for the cumulative effect coming through to slow the economy down, then they probably do come through, but that is a symptom of how rapidly things have turned around rather than anything that sort of persists. you get this period where everyone thinks it is ok and it looks and feels like a soft landing because the fed looks tight and inflation is coming back down and the economy is slowing. underneath it, are a barrage of disinflation because growth will pick back up if that happens and inflation will rebound and it won't look as happy by the end of the year. lisa: the boomerang inflation i was thinking about. for all the people who think i am gloomy, what you put out highlights the concern of a lost decade or stagflationary decade in the united states. is that what you are talking
6:37 am
about with meandering returns and bonds? freya: is going to be very difficult environment. we are going from a low returns economy to a high returns economy but the process of getting there is really unpleasant and there are all of these different major global political economy secular forces pointing towards probably higher inflation. part of that being cost push inflation and deterioration of the geopolitical and natural environment. so supply shocks by inflation and also the china slowdowns and all the economies exposed to that area, ems, commodities. they have this drag to contend with that china is slowing and the growth model is broken, but we do see more positive aspects in the sense that potentially if
6:38 am
you get this transition of wage growth back to the markets because we think china is no longer a constraint on wage growth in developed markets and you have the potential for credit wrote to pick up again, then you have demand drivers coming back. when that happens, productivity growth happens and wage driven income and the debt fueling income as well. that sounds like you she get higher real growth as well as high inflation and -- that sounds like you should get higher real growth as well as high inflation. what that means is you will go to higher yields. if you decompose that into what it means for yields, bond investors are never fully compensated for real growth, say 2% growth. it is a long-term forecast, so who knows. say half of that is compensation
6:39 am
for bond investors and 3% inflation plus you have to open up because of the uncertainty and you are reasonably at 5% for the 10 year for the u.s. over the 20 20's. that is a massive hill for them to climb which makes sense in the geopolitical environment we are going into. getting into that environment is very difficult. you want to get exposure to the real economy and for tangibles and suppliers of capital goods as the supply and demand mismatch is brought back into time slowly and painfully. it is good for asset prices but the good thing for the real economy. lisa: from which pushback do you get from this scenario? freya: quite a lot because it is very gloomy and people want to know. so that's what i say we try to get the exposure in the shorter
6:40 am
term, so there is pushback but there is a cozy consensus over the course of the year that you are trying to find these different scenarios that pushback against the pushback. jonathan: freya beamish, great to have you on the show. estimates, ppi later this morning and then tuesday, cpi, looking for month over month headline inflation to come down to 0.3% from 0.4%, core, stripping out food and energy, in-line with the previous month, 0.3%. we are looking for year-over-year to drop from 7.7% to 7.3% and core going into next week, the survey indicating we drop from 6.3% to 6.1%. lisa: how you trade this? if it comes in as is, how do you trade it?
6:41 am
is it driven by goods disinflation? do we see that component picking back up. the nuances at this point matter under the surface for people in the markets. jonathan: one at stanley -- morgan stanley says decelerated shouts for inflation should see the october signal of a turn in inflation data. will we get a nuanced chair powell? jackson hole was blunt and brookings was on one hand there and nuanced there and very academic. maybe that was just the forum of brookings last week. lisa: the amount of pushback he is getting on both sides of the aisle by using a blunt instrument to deal with inflation that is multifaceted is vast. there are a lot of people who are saying that disinflation is here and we will see a rapid
6:42 am
decline in inflation and we could end up with a lower inflation rate in the future. a lot of people disagree. boomerang that freya beamish was talking about is on the others. he is trying to play both sides. jonathan: "cakism." kathy jones of charles schwab later. equity futures up .3%. we are down on the week. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ lisa: with the first word, i'm lisa mateo. arizona senator kyrsten sinema tells politico and cnn saying

u.s. is getting aggressive in trying to attract investment and we are going to see companies march investment dollars to the u.s. to answer the call. jonathan: which companies do you think, because bmw has a massive presence in the united states. craig: one company that will be really interesting is backed by bmw and volkswagen and had a plan for germany that just in the last you weeks they talked about, maybe we need to put this plant on ice and put it aside and turn our attention over to the u.s. that is the result of the fact that the incentives for investment in manufacturing in the u.s. is potentially going to make the u.s. the most profitable place to make batteries in the world, according to an in-depth report. jonathan: do they have a plan to counter that? craig: that was something that
6:52 am
came out of the meeting with macron and biden that on the part of the french want to get this addressed and the retort on the part of washington is the belief that you will have to do this as well and support battery investment. we have seen efforts by the eu to generate investment in the battery supply chain, but that has been uncut by the price of energy. this is very energy intensive and we have heard them site that investing in germany right now perhaps doesn't make as much sense as it did six month or a year ago. jonathan: we will catch up with the mercedes chief in an hour. what do you want to hear russian mark -- here? craig: how they are going to

disinflation and gets us to the end quicker? geoffrey: the four banks, the ecb is a good example, present a headline baseline scenario depending on the war and they look at an alternative scenario where in june and march and they are looking at growth contraction of 2%. it is very stagflationary. you have to calibrate this carefully here they want moderation. the situation with the housing market and the like. the thought it was necessary but not too much. a delicate range. jonathan: so next week the ppi and cpi.

7:20 am
sonali: one thing he just said on twitter is that he doesn't have access to much of his data, personal or professional. the question i have is why not? where is it? is it not with you in the bahamas and do you need to come back here to get it? your impression is right. he has not been clear whether he is comfortable coming back to the united states. in an interview he did days ago he was asked specifically whether criminal liability was whether he was not coming back and he did not answer if that was the case. multiple investigations going on at the same time. unclear whether he is willing to come back here. typically, people come in person for these hearings.
7:21 am
the expectation is he would be in person. jonathan: what have you made by how he has been treated over the next month or so, both by politicians and the media more broadly? sonali: there are a lot of frustrations, particularly of people by people who have followed him closely and i have heard him speak over the last few years. my own sources say even the own employees were frustrated not just more recently but over the last couple of years, because he was so public in ways not necessary for business at all times. his personal affairs are wide both politically and professionally and personally. a lot of his employees didn't agree with the business he was doing. there is a big discrepancy between people not deeply ingrained in the situation and have lost money and the people who have come in more recently a

lot of folks feel he has been given a large platform to speak when really the whole story has not come out and a lot of people may be involved in the probes and may be trying to comply with investigations have not been able to speak themselves. one of those people indicated is he has given a lot of responsibility to alameda. we have not heard from the leader of that at all. he has had this large platform but a lot of other people involved in the story. a lot of folks have been trying to speak for him and are not necessarily speaking for the millions who have lost money. jonathan: thank you so much. some of the criticism has been leveled at maxine waters, the

the people thought at the time he was overpaying for those that said -- those assets. here we are, 10 years later and everyone is saying it should not have been allowed, blah, blah, blah. lisa: there is a difference in understanding the popularity factor in social media. you see apple or google sucking up a bunch of these smaller competitors at prices that perhaps people think is expensive, but are they getting ahead on some of this technology that will become the hot thing later on? jonathan: shouldn't aco -- a cob rewarded for making a good judgment about the future and buying things ahead of time for that reason? lisa: some people would claim the antitrust unit turned a blind eye early on and was not aggressive raising these questions at that point. price is one thing. sucking up a number of competitors is another. jonathan: i am not here to lobby for met up. lisa: [laughter] i was about to say, who are you?
7:35 am
jonathan: let's be clear about that. next week, kathy jones, fixed income strategist. let's start with the federal reserve. at the moment, we are focused on the way chairman frames risk management whether there is a focus on over tightening or under tightening in 2023. what do you think the biggest risk is for this federal reserve? >> i think the biggest risk is if they under titan. i sense a strong message about to get inflation down. that is the number one priority. anything they have to continue to send that message. the risk is, they were probably over tighten. and then break down to write i do not think they can afford to continue to send that message. lisa: how does that inform your view of whether to go along with some of these longer duration bonds versus perhaps pair back, especially after the enthusiasm
7:36 am
we have seen of late? kathy: we were pretty enthusiastic a while back about where the 10 year yields hit 4% plus, plus the spending duration. we like extending duration on valleys -- on rallies. increases in yield, i think we will have a rough ride. so much -- has been priced into the market. our long-term view is 10 year yields can fall as far as 8% this coming year. we will use those moves up in yields to extend. lisa: you said the biggest risk is under tightening, not over tightening. how much do you get pushback? this is basically not the consensus before -- anymore as people believe in the its inflationary story that will pick up steam in 2023. kathy: we are in the disinflation camp. because of the lags that are involved, it will take time to make its way through.
7:37 am
they market, when i look at the shorter end of the market, it is discounted at the new rate of what the fed will do. given the financial conditions have not tightened as much and have loosened the last couple of months, i think the risk is that the fed has to pushback against that and if they do not over tighten, we are going to see inflation bounce back again. jonathan: can we put some numbers on this? the federal reserve and their last projections in the september half pce, core pce at 3.1% at the end of 2023. where are you for 2023? kathy: i think we can get close to the throughput 5% area. -- 3.5% area. it depends on wage growth and how quickly that starts to decline. we have started to seek hence it has started to decline, but not as much as anticipated.
7:38 am
we will have to say three .5% at the end of next year. jonathan: does that include a recession to get there? kathy: probably, yeah. we think risk of recession is very high. the indicators from the inverted yield curve to the leading indicators, a long list of things rolling over. housing, etc. we do think a recession is high-risk. jonathan: i'm interested in how you interpret that reaction function. if they are gliding back to 3.1 and you think three point five, you've got a recession in the mix, are they cutting in 2023 in that world? kathy: i think they could at the in the next year. i think it is reasonable if they are in a distinctly clear recession and inflation ends close to 3.5 core pce, it will be next to. i think the playbook is the --
7:39 am
powell does not want to be -- she wants to be the boebert of his generation. i think they will try to manage it to avoid a deep recession, but i think the choice is recession versus inflation, the choice will be a recession. lisa: when history books look back, do you think they will agree with harvard university professor jeremy stein, who says it is astonishing we have not seen a financial system blowup? if you had said a couple of years ago, we would have had consecutive 75 basis points, we would have been in financial armageddon. can we say that already? kathy: it may be too soon to say we will not have blowup somewhere, but i think the strength of the banking sector is what has helped us out this time.
7:40 am
where we look for potential problems in the private markets, we have talked about this for months now because of the buildup of debt in the private credit area, that is where more problems would go because there is lack of liquidity. that is where the deterioration -- standards come into play. jonathan: kathy jones, great to catch up. looking ahead to next week on the federal reserve, seemingly the rate cut conversation is in the mix the way the fed does not want us to have this conversation. yesterday, we were discussing what is more important the next 100 basis points of hikes or the cuts everyone is pricing in afterwards. lisa: most people would say the cuts. expectations in fed funds futures, you get to a peak of around 5% in may. by the end of the year, you are back to 4.3 percent. that is cuts being baked into market excitations, the reason it will be a blissful second half of people piling to head

are people driving and flying less? is that what we are seeing? jonathan: let's have that conversation with regina. why is crude down year to date? >> in contrast to your gloomy sense, lisa -- lisa: [laughter] >> supply is building. over the last quarter, we have had one million barrels a day of supply exceeding demand. even though we are getting into the cold months of winter, i am in london and it is freezing. the gas stock piles were rebuilt. week have less demand and we still have supply. china not coming out of covid the way it was predicted since september, that will be a slower ramp up. we will have more supply to deal with. i think it is a more balanced, goldilocks situation in the crude markets. not too hot, not too cold, just right for now. lisa: it is a supply issue, not a demand issue. is that what you are saying? regina: we have been able to
7:50 am
rebuild supply. we were worried about supply because we cut production during 2020 during the pandemic. we had thought we had seen peak demand, if you are member that phrase during 2019 and it came roaring back as the world started moving. demand outpaced supply substantially, that drove up triple digit prices. now that markets are equaling up, we have been able to increase reduction. we've got opec back to close to where they were. the u.s. is coming online, venezuela is turning on, more sources of supply are coming into the market and it is offsetting demand. we haven't seen demand growth expected with china coming back. i predict we will stand in q1 and q2 of next year. then, i think the supply situations and short ball situations will have eased out. jonathan: goldman came out with a note that said do not expect a full reopening of china's economy soon. growth in china could remain for the next six once. a quote from them, the
7:51 am
fundamental challenge faced by the policymakers is the rising economic costs of maintaining their zero covid policy while vaccinations for elderly citizens is still role -- still low. that last point raises questions about how clean, how smooth this reopening process will be in china and whether they face the stop, start, stop, start in the west when we tried to do the same thing. what do think the path looks like for china reopening and what it means for crude and commodities? regina: i think it is right, it will be stop, start, stop, stop --stop, start. i think it is going to be hard to get the whole economy moving again in china. people may be reluctant. some people will want to start flying as soon as they possibly can, others will be more cautious because of aging societies and challenges they have within their own demographic. i am not expecting a tsunami return. i think it will be stop, start.
7:52 am
i agree that it could be week to the next six months. jonathan: the school from -- this quote from goldman, this combination of loosening policies, the upcoming flu season, makes it difficult to predict how cases, covid restrictions and ability may evolve in the coming months. these are the questions with got to ask going into 2023. lisa: people suggesting china's economy could slow further as they try to reopen. how much are you counting on that, especially as it comes to european natural gas prices given stockpiles have been rebuilt now, but can they be sustained given there is not a solid source for that natural gas and china be a massive competitor? regina: what i find interesting is how quickly the european continent has pivoted to u.s. natural gas and other sources of supply outside of russia. two thirds of the u.s. energy exports are now going to go to
7:53 am
europe. we are seeing a lot less russian gas come through the pipelines. norway is providing more of that gas. i think six months ago, i would not have been able to predict how quickly things have turned and how quickly the europeans have built infrastructure. there is that story about how quickly germans built lng import terminal to get access to other sources of supply. lisa: have we seen pete prices? will we just keep seeing ranges between 70 and 80 and these prices will stay where they are longer? regina: i would never say this is it. i do think this is a nice, sweet spot. because we are going into the cold winter months, i hope it lasts. you can never predict, there could be hiccups somewhere in the world and we could be right to where the spikes are. i believe this is where the prices were meant to be. i have been calling 70's for brent and wti, i never
7:54 am
understood why it got as close to triple digits as it did. i think the rational has come out of the market. jonathan: was opec right to do what it did a couple of months ago? regina: they are saying they called it right. the opec thing was more symbolic. let's be real. they were already producing under their quotas. i saying they would cut by 2 million barrels a day, they were already down 50% of that number. i saw it as more of a symbolic move. jonathan: regina, always wonderful to hear from you on the energy market. looking for 70's, got the 70's. one of the handful of people that were looking for that. many others were looking for triple digit crude. lisa: what happened to the structural underinvestment in also fuels? jonathan: i know. energy stocks are still ripping out. lisa: people are saying they will invest in the real economy. you are seeing chevron invest in capital development, possibly drilling more and possibly
7:55 am
getting more oil. i am trying to understand, especially given china is going to be -- going to reopen, it will eventually lead to a greater amount of demand unless there is a recession. i guess that is what people are pushing back -- pushing back against. jonathan: i mentioned mario earlier, he said compare crude. crews lower on the year. marco says, recently in an norma's gap has opened up between energy stocks in the price of energy commodities with oil being close to flat for the year and the energy segment up around 60%. we believe there is a tactical trade to sell energy stocks. lisa: what if this cap makes sense? what people have been underinvested in energy stocks for a decade and suddenly the asg considerations are changing in light of changing facts and people are going back into
7:56 am
energy and they are saying this is the area that will do better in an inflationary environment. even if oil prices go down, they are still going to need exposure to some of the second ease. that is the story that could explain the gap that could be more persistent. jonathan: there is a windfall tax element in the european economy. it is part of the esg element, they are poignant to what you're talking about -- pointing to what you are talking about. lisa: that is why investors are saying, let's go to europe and by oil majors. i wonder how this will play into the inflation story, it is a lot cheaper to fill up your car and people can take that money and use it in the economy. jonathan: mission accomplished. lisa: let's see if they back that up for buying for the strategic petroleum reserve. ongoing releases from the strategic petroleum sir. jonathan: equities up .5%.

particular, lacking in some higher yields out further on the curve. lisa: do you believe in the jon ferro and scenario for next year? tracie: [laughter] we do. it is dip and then rep, i believe is the way we have it raised there. yes, we think next year what we are going to see is a fed continuing to tighten. that will eventually push us into a recession. then, once we get through the tightening cycle and we move into a recession, we think the fed will eventually have to start cutting by the end of next year. markets will anticipate that and they should move higher by the end of next year. lisa: dip and rip, that is the sequence. jonathan: just to be clear, that is not my call. that is how i am framing everyone -- do not involve me in this. no, no.
8:07 am
i want nothing to do with that. lisa: aside from jon ferro backpedaling away from the phrase he coined and a scenario a lot of people agree with may happen next year, how much is this predicated on the idea we will head back to a low-inflation environment, back to where we came from, not necessarily a newly inflationary environment? tracie: that is key, lisa. the inflationary environment this year has driven markets and driven them lower this year because the inflationary environment has impacted monetary policy so much. going into next year, we think we are going to continue to see housing week. we are going to see goods week. we are going to see services and labor also continuing to weaken, eventually tipping lesson to recession, bringing inflation lower. that is when we think the fed
8:08 am
can start to cut rates. we see inflation in probably 2.5% to 3% next year. jonathan: when it comes to equity risk, do you have a geographic bias going into next year? tracie: we do. we have had it all year, it is u.s. over international. we continue to think u.s. companies are going to relatively have an easier time generating better earnings, we think that within the international space, what we are seeing their -- as you mentioned, developing markets are having a difficult time, particularly europe, with the war in europe. not only the energy crisis, but in emerging markets, we have not seen a u.s. recession without pain being felt in the emerging economies. we continue to favor u.s. for those reasons.

8:10 am
been inflated as much as wet we are seeing in the u.s. jonathan: to go back to the damien conversation, we asked him delicately -- there is a difference here. a one way road towards reopening in china, or a little shift to the protests that took place a couple of weekends ago. which is it? when you ask people in e.m., i think they are not in camp one yet. even if you are in the first camp and on the second one and you believe this is a one-way road to reopening, maybe that is the intention. that might be the objective. is it achievable, given the experience we have had in the west when we tried to reopen? yes, we have seen these restrictions get adjusted. but if you get a surge of infections and it starts to become more problematic, do you start to see things shut down again? in the west, i remember it was not just restrictions. people are choosing to stay away
8:11 am
from certain situations. remember last christmas, omicron, all of this stuff sounds so foreign. we had all the cancellations and restaurants in places like london. before restrictions even kicked in. lisa: now, people think, if i get it, whatever. i had a good time with my friends and family and i wonder how long it will take to get to that point. i take your point, this is a rocky road for china. you cannot be a little open. you have to be either none or all. if you are all, people have to be getting infected at a time where there is not that herd immunity and it is leading to concerns. jonathan: when is the last time you said omicron? that came out of my mouth and i thought, that was years ago. lisa: i did get omicron then, i remember i was happy. not that i was happy, but i was happy to get it over with. there was this feeling of inevitability everybody was going to get it.

8:19 am
biggest car market in the world. if you look at the size of the chinese market, it is bigger than if you put the united states and eu together. what happens in china for the oil industry and mercedes-benz, we have now come through a period in the fourth quarter where we have had some lockdowns in some places, extensive lockdowns. we have shut down dealers and if you are at home, you are not going to go to a dealer and buy a car. at the same time, the central government is clearly communicated that they want ease up a situation. what is going to happen, are we going to see a stop and go or a gradual easing? it is difficult to say. how that plays out will definitely find what -- defined with the biggest market for us is going to do. hiding beneath that has been generally a little weaker chinese economy and we have been used to the past years or decades. i can see the central government
8:20 am
is trying to put some stimulus into that and see if they can restart the economy together with opening up. glass half-full. 2020 three could get better. matt: the other thing about your company, you are working on a strategy to go back to a mercedes benz of the past. where you make the luxury car everybody once and you are focused on higher-margin products, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. that coincides with pricing power that is tremendous and a lack of inventory around the world. the supply side has been tighter because the supply chains. can you keep that pricing power if we go into a recession when the chips come flooding back onto the market and everybody can sell as many cars as they want can you keep from going back to the rebates and the full loss we used to see? ola: mercedes benz has a ways been a culmination of technology and luxury. when you get a mercedes, it is
8:21 am
like you reward yourself. before we got into this situation with chip shortages, artificially keeping supply down, we had already pivoted our strategy towards being more thoughtful. looking at building stronger contribution margins, watching pricing powers, do not fleet deals that do not make sense. that something we had started before this chip crisis. now it goes without saying if you have higher demand as it has been the past couple of years and were held back by supply, that provides for strong pricing. if we get into a situation next year where the economy cools down and we get back into echo labor, demand controls the sales volume as opposed to the chip supply, yes, we have got to stay disciplined. we have done a lot of work on our breakeven point to make sure we can lower their be -- lower the breakeven point so we are

8:23 am
efficiency is part of the equation. yes, the government has suggested in all buildings, temperatures are lowered. he do that, as well. wear a sweater. efficiency has been one part of the answer. switching to electricity, away from gas that in some cases switching from gas to oil when oil is available. there has been quite significant zillions packaged in our company. in germany in general, i think we are quite strong compared to where we were nine or 10 months ago to go through this winter. we are not out of the woods. people have to work on efficiency. not just companies, private citizens, as well. jonathan: we are in america, let's talk about the inflation reduction act that has been criticized by europeans. do you criticize it? is it a good thing or a bad thing or mercedes? ola: the underlying idea to support or accelerate

decarbonization, i am all for it. it is mercedes strategy to go all for electric. we are going to put our company by the end of the decade in a position to serve the electric market. in -- any policy to support that is a good thing. there is another side of the coin, we should not that while at the same time upend free trade. one has to be mindful over the last 30 years of globalization, why we have been able to grow economies as strongly as we have has been wto driven trade. if we take a step back on that and create barriers again, that would be a bad thing. in that case, i am hopeful between the eu and united states, ways can be found to uphold free-trade and at the same time, accelerate towards a carbon -- jonathan: that is the hope. are you going to put more money
8:25 am
in america and produce more here because of this? ola: before the replaced -- before the inflation reduction act, we had done that. our three biggest economic markets are the three biggest economic regions, europe, united states and china. our vehicle production in general, but the battery supply chain that we put $1 billion into our plant in alabama, built a brand new battery factory that i open myself earlier this year. we had started that already. jonathan: can we expect more? ola: that is happening. what you cannot do especially if you are a premium luxury manufacturer, you cannot fight it into three pieces and make it into every region. it economically doesn't make sense. we lie on the ability to export and we will see how that plays out. jonathan: one thing americans have invented, formula one. you must be happy about that. how cool is that, formula one

lisa: this is "bloomberg surveillance" on radio and television. yesterday, we broke the five-day losing streak for the s&p and nasdaq. today, looking to build on those gains but it is a quiet market as we await one of the key data points ahead of next week's fed meeting. we are waiting for the ppi, we are seeing a little of. s&p futures up .5%. here to break on the data that gives a sense of how much inflation is getting down is michael mckee. michael: we are getting the numbers in. ppi unfortunately goes up on a month over month basis.
8:31 am
point re-percent was the forecast, it was a .2% increase. core rate for ppi up .4%, that was double the forecast of a .2% change. year-over-year goes up to 7.4%. actually, down 7.4% from 8%. the core is at 6.2% from six point 7%. we are in the land of basic facts, inflation was i a year ago. even though inflation on a month over month basis is a little higher, we are seeing inflation come down on a year-over-year basis, which should make people happy. i guess if we do not understand all of it. index for final demand, goods was up .1%. for services, i am looking for the services number. energy was down 3.3%. not seeing services -- services, .4%. what we are seeing, services is
8:32 am
driving the inflation picture and ppi, as well as in cpi and pce, the area of concern for the fed. that is what we will have to work on. lisa: upside surprise is a good thing -- bad thing. bad news is good news. two-year yields moving higher, seeing them hit 4.3%. nasdaq took a dive, down more than .6%. you see the same move in the s&p futures, this is not surprising you are seeing dollar strength. yields higher across through the curve, this is what we would expect. how indicative is ppi? how important is this metric to give a sense of the direction cpi and other metrics the fed looks at? michael: not as important as it used to be. it was thought to be as a precursor, but they go in parallel now. it is not a major clue, it does give you some idea of where we are going.
8:33 am
but, it is not going to change a lot of people's thinking about what cpi will be next week. one number i want to mention is within services, services is the big problem. trade services up point seven percent, that is basically retailers and wholesalers. a measure that by looking at margins. it tells you the inflation problem at this point is in retail and wholesale more than anything else in the services category, but that margins are holding up for retailers and wholesalers. lisa: which is exactly what people think will not happen at the beginning of next year. michael mckee, stick around as you parse through this data and get interesting nuggets, keep us posted. this is more interesting to me from a underlying component perspective, perhaps the headline perspective, to understand are the inflation is coming and how strong the services side of things is. joining us now is chief u.s.
8:34 am
economist, michelle meyer joining us in studio. fabulous to have you. what is your take on these numbers? >> i think it is, clearly, there are price inflation pleasure -- pressures. you are seeing it different by category. there is some relief in terms of commodity price pressure. that was a big part of the story earlier in the year. there is lingering pressure happening more on the services side, that is clear on the consumer side, too. we will presumably see that to some extent in cpi next week, the differential between core goods inflation which is coming down in part because producer prices are also coming down. services inflation, which remains stickier. lisa: does this data point to a recession in the u.s. in the first half of next year? michelle: i do not think so. one of the things we have been clear on, we do not think a recession is inevitable by any means. looking at the data we are
8:35 am
examining on a regular basis, the consumer has purchasing power. they have had purchasing power throughout the year. i think people underestimated their resolve of the u.s. consumer to spend. the desire to spend and the ability to spend. that is still here. lisa: you moved to the suburbs. you understand, everybody drives around. when you fill up your car and have a lower price, you generally have more in your account. how much is the decline in gasoline prices going to perversely fuel inflation? michelle: i may not be the best person to answer that. we moved to electric. [laughter] in general, that is right. it is something that is tangible and not just gasoline, it is food. that is a big part of the story. you walk into a grocery store and buy the same items every week and you see those price differentials. there are still those dynamics, these crosscurrents on the one hand. a nice relief from higher gas prices.

food price inflation remains high and problematic. michael: interestingly enough, we have a number. gasoline price index fell 6% in the ppi in november. a significant decline, which the biden administration has been waving like a flag recently. final demand goods, 38.1% in the index for fresh and dried vegetables. food prices are still going up. lisa: people can feel that at the grocery store, it is impeding pricing power there. all of this is confusing. that is the reason why people believe in this recession. it doesn't seem to be feeding into this data. do you buy into this massive disinflationary feel that people are pricing into the dip and rip scenario jon was talking about? michelle: one thing we have seen in our data, in this holiday shopping season, consumers are more promotional based then we have seen the last two holiday
8:37 am
seasons. when we look at daily data, we have seen a bit of softening at the end of october, early november and a big surge of activity in the black friday period, particularly in apparel. i think consumers are being targeted, being cognizant of how they are spending, what they are spending on. relative inflation is playing a role. elective interest rates are playing a role. there is -- the consumer is aware of the headwinds they happen facing throughout the year and are navigating it. i think they have navigated it a lot better than people have given them credit for. lisa: right now, we are looking at the potential for the fed getting a soft landing like they said. what does that mean in terms of how high rates should go? michelle: it seems clear they are not done hiking. in the upcoming meeting next week, the expectation is for another 50 basis points of hikes. that is a slowdown in the cadence of hikes. they are starting to see some signs there monetary policy hikes transmitting into the
8:38 am
economy is making a difference in the housing market and some of the goods sectors. you are seeing ramifications. i think the next step after this will be the fed continues to move up, but they do so slower. they are trying to monitor how the economy is reacting to hikes and seeing dynamics in the inflation data that is presumably encouraging. the fact core goods is coming down. we will see what oer does next week, that will be important. lisa: people are still pressing in rate cuts. michael: some people in the markets are. bloomberg did a survey on economists, the majority of economists fink the fed will go to 5%. they also think the fed will keep it at 5% for the entire year, which is different than what you are getting in the futures market. we will see if those two converge. lisa: a lot of people think whatever the fed does is going to be enough to bring us back down to where we were before. do you buy that? michelle: one of the things we
8:39 am
just published, our economic when he 23 piece this week. one of the themes is this idea of a normalization. part of what is happening in the economy next year, which the fed is trying to engineer, is a normalization of parts of the economy that are in excess. think about labor market. should you have these job openings relative to the number of unemployed? no, they want to cool it down and normalize it. some parts of the economy they have to do more than normalizing, such as housing. they want to create a bigger shock into the future. this -- i think it is a rebalancing that has been desired throughout 2022, which is what the fed was trying to achieve with higher interest rates. 2023 is going to be a story of those outcomes in our view. lisa: what is the outcome and housing? do you think we are in for a protracted and deep down term -- downturn in terms of prices?
8:40 am
michelle: i think housing is in for challenges ahead. when you think about how affordability has changed, it has been a big shock. home prices ran above income for a period of time, facilitated by low rates for the extended period, presumably too long. that created a big imbalance. we are seeing home sales sharply fall. in areas like san francisco, it is fast. i think there is more to come. lisa: do you think it will be comparable to 2008 in the scope of the declines? michelle: i do not think it will. lisa: thank you for being with us. have a wonderful holiday season. michelle meyer of the mastercard economics institute, great to get that insight. mike, final thoughts when you look at underlying data. another upside surprise at the wrong time. michael: it is, although a lot of it is in the food category
8:41 am
and services categories that we knew were going to be printing higher. it will be interesting to see what translates into cpi, whether services margins are still rising there. food is not something the fed can do something about. it has that externality. we are also in base effect territory, seeing the year-over-year go down and that is what is going to matter to a lot of people. that is what would shape inflation expectations. lisa: thank you. i want to bring you this. vladimir putin has been holding a news conference after a meeting with the supreme -- economic council and leaders with belarus. armenia, kazakhstan and kyrgyzstan. he talked about how russia may cut its output as part of the oil cap response. this is a possible response saying we will supply less if you are going to pay us less purity you are seeing oil prices poppy little bit, further on the
8:42 am
heels. we are listening west axis intermediate 72 82 as it does digest some of what we are seeing. we will see how this plays out with the oil cap in effect. we will get a sense of how we get the ramifications of the latest ppi data playing out in markets that have moved back from some of the deeper losses. how much does this give a sense of inflation continuing to surprise the upside if you get 5% bed funds rate for a year? s&p futures down .4%. $3950. euro-dollar, 1.0553 versus the dollar. this is bloomberg. lisa: keeping you up-to-date with news from around the world with the first word i am lisa mateo. a series of tweets today, ftx founder sam bring -- sam said he is willing to testify on

8:47 am
i think we are starting a new bull market. if we avoid recession, which i think the odds favor maybe 60-40 that we do, or we have a modest recession, that the stock market is into a new bull market. lisa: a new bull market that may look like 5000 by year end. that was jim paulson speaking to us yesterday. a call that caught a lot of attention because of how dissident it was because of the flat calls across wall street. among this question is how much inflation will roll, how much the fed will respond by dropping rates as soon as next year. ira jersey has been pushing back against that for the better part of 2022. he joins us now. given the data we just got, given ppi came in hotter than expected, given this is stemming from services, how much conviction do you have any fed runs rate of 5% to 5.5% next year?
8:48 am
ira: very high. i think five and a quarter of the top and fed's target range is likely, our economics team here at bloomberg economics has been calling the -- calling for that for some time. in particular because we thought the clyde path of inflation would be somewhat slower then what both he market and economic consensus had been considering. i think today's data confirms that you will for us. yes, inflation will come down but it will come down more slowly than people had hoped. when you have 3.3% ppi final demand, that means if companies can, they will probably continue to increase prices for the consumer and that will maintain inflation higher than what the fed once. lisa: one consensus going into next year, the long end 10 year treasuries to 30 year treasuries
8:49 am
will be a valuable place to hold out. do you think that has been overbought at this point, based on what you are talking about, a stickier inflation that is resilient? ira: i think they got oversold. people were over short. it is start -- it is hard to stay short in bonds because the carry ends up being negative and you have to pay the coupon. as yields get higher, it becomes more costly to be short the market. i think we have seen a short covering rally. what tends to happen in the rates market and i think we are in the process of doing this, we are going to find a bottom and wind up staying in a range for a long period of time. 2, 3, four months. as the federal reserve gets toward the end of their hiking cycle, the market will reevaluate what the next move is. i think the longer end maybe, i wouldn't say it is a screaming buy at this point, but at the same time, i do not think we are going back to 4.5% anytime soon
8:50 am
in the long end. it is the front in that is interesting. you have seen since the ppi number came out, the market was full steam and. the 2-year note was rallying a lot, that is completely unwound and now you are seeing the yield curve rather flat on the day, whereas it had been three or four basis points steeper in terms of the two year or 10-year yield. lisa: we are heading into an important week with the last fed meeting of 2022. what are you expecting in terms of the signaling and whether the balance of risks is perhaps more to the over tightening than the under tightening? ira: excellent question. what jay powell had said november 30 when he was at the brookings institution, confused the market. the tone was dovish and the market took it that way. i suspect jay powell will push back on that.
8:51 am
maybe talk more about what you have a mentioning, what we mentioned earlier, that they intend on keeping interest rates at whatever the peak is, for the whole year. even amid a little economic slowdown. the reaction function i think he has to take back a little control of that. the market certainly seems to think there is a fed put. if you start to see job losses, if we have a mild recession like we expect in the second half of next year, the fed will start cutting early. i think he will keep on say, we do not want to cut too soon. we do not to make the 1970's mistake of easing into a still reasonably inflationary environment. lisa: thank you as always. to bring you this, vladimir putin continues to speak. we will bring you more context as we know what it means. he says he has no plans for further mobilization in russia. we will bring to you any kind of
8:52 am
concept, context as we get it. as we break down the inflation data in the u.s., there is a question of how quickly we get back down to 2% and what that means for margin compression in the u.s. i am happy to say gina martin adams is joining us on the equity side with more on that front. margin seem to have built in better than expected. cannot continue heading into next year -- can it continue heading into next year? >> we have detected margins have held up because energy argent are holding it up. when you look at the overall s&p 500 margins, operating margins and income margins have been calling for much of this year relative to their peaks made at the tail end of last year. analysts are expecting that to slow down consistent with the idea that inflation in the form of ppi, as well as cpi finally over the summer and is likely to continue to slow. as it is slowing fast enough and critically, is that comparison between ppi and cpi going to
8:53 am
flip into positive territory? that is the critical question going forward. we need to see ppi decelerate faster relative to cpi as an indication that finally, margins can hit their low when we exclude that critical energy sector from the s&p. lisa: do you believe in the rib and dip that jon ferro coined? gina: our view is similar to what you talk about with jim paulson, it does look like sentiment washout occurred in the fall of this year. we talked about this a lot in sentiment in october and late september, really reaching trough levels. our own proprietary target pulse index indicated to us we had a complete washout. the question remains, after the dip, do you get that spark? our annual outlook commentary would suggest we probably will not. the title of our outlook for 2023, no spark, no fire for the
8:54 am
s&p 500 what happens to create that major up leg and the s&p and source of optimism is the fed was bursal -- that reversal. we are not likely to get a massive federal bursal in 2023. if you do not have a fed reversal, it is hard to argue you get a big spark that lights the equity market in the tail end of next year. lisa: we were talking about how vladimir putin might cut oil output in response to oil caps. do you think that gap needs to come closer, that either oil prices have to rise and they are rising at session highs right now following those comments, or that energy stocks need to fall? gina: energy equities, especially in the s&p 500, are still trading at low relative valuations compared to other sectors. even though prices have recovered, price recovery has not touched earnings recovery in the energy space. we would argue the stocks
8:55 am
generally did not price oil prices when they were close to $100. there is a tremendous amount of skepticism embedded in the overall evaluations of the energy sector. this is one of the reasons why energy continues to lead our broader sector scorecards, it has been top three a month sectors -- among all sectors all year. it is still sitting in a leader position in our view partially because valuations are not inflecting the reality that supply remains constrained for a extended period of time. demand should hold in generally well amid good supply constraints. lisa: gina martin adams, thanks for being with us. to bring you more details on this, vladimir putin president of russia said it may cut oil production in response to the g7 oil cap on the price of its crude. says the decision will be made in the next couple of days, $60 a barrel threshold on which western nations would insure the
8:56 am
barrels being transported from russia and floated around the world. the question is, currently, that is the market price for russian oil. it is a question of whether that would affect their particular budget, but they are talking about possible retaliation. they are saying russia will not sell its barrels to any country that sticks to its stiction's. it raises a question of stranded oil, which has been a big issue for russia at a time when western nations are trying to tighten the screws in response to the conflict in ukraine. we are digesting the latest inflation data with ppi coming in hotter than expected. although, decelerating as much as people had anticipated. services are still bright, food driving some of the increase which is considered a temporary phenomenon. you are seeing losses being paired back in s&p futures, down .3%. dollar strength continues. 1.0542 on euro.
