>> we should see progress on inflation in the coming months. >> if you think the u.s. has an inflation problem, europe has a bigger one. >> the economy is not collapsing. >> the markets have not done anything. no one is right. no one is wrong. >> this is "bloomberg surveillance." jonathan: live from new york city, good morning. this is "bloomberg surveillance." equity market slightly positive
6:01 am
on the s&p 500. is the bumpy road to nowhere started to go somewhere? tom: it is going to be fun to talk about equities, bond. you are taking a break yesterday. we notice a two year yield going to 4.23%. a change over the last four days. jonathan: yields higher for four straight sessions. chairman powell nymex ago talking about -- nine months ago talking about pain. that morning s&p 500 opened 4198. it closed yesterday 4198. let's go to the german words. higher interest rate, softer labor market conditions will bring down -- unemployment last
6:02 am
summer, 3.5%. unemployment now, 3.4%. tom: we have 47 fed speakers and an important meeting today. the answer -- we have migrated forward to a better place. the most important thing that happened yesterday, carl icahn said i got it wrong. how many people feel like him this morning? i think a lot of people miss spx 4200. jonathan: michael hart, it will be so unbranded for stocks to up into a recession. suck them in before the hard landing. lisa: he is not wrong. have they already been suck in? has it come in tech sectors, particularly those tied to ai? where has the pain been? perhaps index level looks one way but
6:03 am
kbw regional index down 20% year to date. this is not been a consistently range bound market under the surface. tom: amy wu silverman -- what is going on beneath the surface. the bigger picture. the peak of 2021, how far down are we? the answer is we have come back a long way but still we are beneath where we were. nasdaq down 16%. we got further to go to hill. jonathan: do you want some games? nvidia of 100%. meta up 105% year-to-date. it was all about the name change. on the equity market we are just about a positive. going into the weekend looking for more gains positionally. yields on the bond market just
6:04 am
about unchanged. if you want more excitement look to europe. for all the talk things are starting to unravel for the long since trade -- consensus trade, records high. lisa: take those narratives and stuff them in the market and get unpredictable response. looking at g7 talks as president by the looks -- gathers with other leaders. hopefully we get messages, not only with respect to u.s. and debt ceiling, but also trade, supply chain resiliency, china. 8:30 a.m. morgan stanley meeting kicks off. i know that is one of the main issues and today for to speak, it is the big issue. no one cares speaking about fed governor at 11 a.m..
6:05 am
tom: this is a small matter. this panel is an honor of john williams, grade publishing colleague tragically dying of cancer in 55. german the commonness with great -- economists with great credit. jonathan: he was an advisor to powell as well. tom: this is the guy, i suggest lead the charge on this think we tossed around. jonathan: looking forward to the fed speak this morning. eric friedman joins us. always wonderful to catch up with you. are we had a risk of being sucked in to an equity market rally before the big fold? eric: we think there is a risk of people capitulating to the upside.
6:06 am
our viewpoint has been what you shared earlier in program, we think variables work against both corporate profits and consumer. our strategy has been, despite concerns about were fed ponsetto out -- fed fund to sell out and consumer tracking area, we have done so with degree of debate amongst our team, but it is the right decision to shrink up the track. i think 4200 has been the level. if we see that level exceed on good volume, you can see people say let's throw in the towel and wait for better opportunity to be more negative. tom: level one see if a -- level 1 cfa, what i see are
6:07 am
corporations adapting into what they have been given most of them delivering some form of surprise. why does that and in first quarter of this year? why can't corporations keep delivering? eric: you have done a great job talking about resilience and adaptability and that is a theme for the last nine months. all the macro concerns out there. i do think the issue the consumers face as aggregation of higher interest rates and liquidity, which i know is a topic that is under covered, but you have variables coming up. we think the fed keeps rates higher for longer. when the debt ceiling is resolved, the treasury is going to come to market with more issuance and when that happens you see more capital flow away from the system. you have china likely slowing down is liquidity injections. you have qt going on.
6:08 am
all the variable stack themselves up against the idea of persistence resilience. we do not know when they all come and confluence together. lisa: on the headline index level, it is perhaps resilience. under the hood, it is probably a bubble. or it is potentially a complete downdraft we look at the regional banks. when you say investors are getting sucked back in before it crashes, are we talking about tech going down? eric: i think a crash is probably unlikely. we think more of a melt up any gradual migration lower. there is the risk people are talking about of mid in moment the people did not see. cap risks are there -- gap risk are there. technology is still bolstered by cap x.
6:09 am
ai has been the tailwind for a lot a tech spending but there's probably more consumer related stocks more vulnerable against those the bet against those. technology has a desire from cfos to get bigger stronger faster through investing in calm services. it is not the area we would bet against. we think more likely consumer site is the area more vulnerable deeper into the year. lisa: it's tech no longer interest rate sensitive? eric: we have been debating that 2020 playbook scenario. what you have seen the last couple of weeks, as rate has gone higher tech has gone -- better. these are longer duration assets and we look at it cash flow model, you have to have interest rates come down is just cash flow further as continuing that
6:10 am
investors would like. our viewpoint is because the fundamental basis is still there, -- there has been bubbly conversations about ai and that is something the markets have been responsive to. but until we see corporations really hold back on cap x communication services and big data is cybersecurity, it is the top area to not invest in. i think there is decoupling happening with rates and tech, but cap takes the key to pay attention to a post to rates. jonathan: great to start the morning with you. eric friedman there. they lived for your outlook for net income. $9.25 billion to $9.5 billion. looking at the stock in premarket, we look good. up more than 3%.
6:11 am
tom: guidance will be important. can i do the jump they are doing right now? free cash flow turnaround, things look good. what is really important here is what do you do with deere to keep this going? the answer is you have -- this is the dream lawnmower. when i was kid and this is what the adults use and it is why john deere is doing so well. 220 sl precision cut. it is a little big. jonathan: how much is one of those? tom: the basic when you push from behind with beautiful cussing ability is about $3200 -- i think ability is about $3200.
6:12 am
there safety futures there. what is great you can get the motorcycle and thorough event built right in there and do the lawn. jonathan: the numbers look good. the high end of the pervious ranges the low end of the new range. lisa: my favorite was net income for second quarter, $2.86 billion. the estimate $194 billion. jonathan: on equities about an hour from now looking for to that conversation. futures about positive on the s&p 500. interesting couple days against we can build on this morning. good morning. lisa: keeping you up-to-date with news around the world. with the first word, i am lisa mateo. president biden is urging his negotiators to keep pursuing a debt limit deal. in a call from japan where he is attending g7 cement, the president said he is confident

6:18 am
-- a week ago $140 billion. tom: i've been told by experts it is not a lot of money and the trend here even though you say it is volatile? pop up on the monday, this trend is not a good. this trend is not good. lisa: it is hard to take risk of asset off of the table and that is what some people have been saying. jonathan: it speaks to why the president is cutting the trip short. it is a feeling it's going to happen quickly. when janet yellen came out and talked about as early as june 1, there was a feeling it was a multiweek cushion in the mix. tom: where is that date right now? jonathan: i think it might be early june as opposed to early june with a cushion. tom: we go to someone who knows
6:19 am
the answers to these questions. annmarie joins us. g7 leaders are meeting to greet and having dinner. what was the emotion at the memorial to all we have and hiroshima? annmarie: it is very emotional day. it is a powerful statement to have president biden alongside other g7 leaders go toward this gravesite -- tour this gravesite and the museum, a very chilling effect, and you have the prime minister of japan wanted to use this moment, this is his home town, and he wants to talk about the future. he must make sure nuclear
6:20 am
nonproliferation is on the agenda. i have been to the hiroshima museum before and i've been to it again recently on this trip. what stands out to me is the very end there an exhibition about nuclear atomic weapons around the world and it ends in 2010 signing the new treaty. what we have today? russia suspending the new treaty in february. you can see how far the world has come for so much more we have to do. the symbolism is going to become more important when vladimir putin will be coming to the g7 summit in person to address world leaders at a time when vladimir putin is using threats of atomic war and nuclear weapon as he to invade ukraine. tom: that will be a key moment. a long trip home. getting out to asia is easy.
6:21 am
getting home is always a challenge. give us the immediacy of the debt study from japan. annmarie: the president will cut within a short he is attending with other leaders to get on the phone with his negotiators. that's how he started his day friday morning in japan, thursday morning washington dc on a call with his team. he wanted to see where they are to make sure there is progress moving into the weekend. the mood music is positive. we had speaker mccarthy say there could be a deal taking shape by the weekend. set a majority -- tentative majority chuck schumer saying i will call back senators if there is a deal we can call next week. we need to carry this, patrick mchenry, chair financial services, key ally mccarthy says there's no deal just yet.
6:22 am
there's going to be a lot of negotiations going into the 11th hour and as white president is cutting his trip short and why he will be leaving hiroshima directly. because next week he is -- the feeling of do or die to make sure they can get the agreement over the finish line and get it passed. lisa: how much is president biting coming under pressure from his own property -- president biden coming under pressure from his own party? annmarie: i think the president understands it is divided government and he has no choice if he wants to lift the debt ceiling, is going to have to negotiate republicans, which is what he's doing. he said he did not want to see work requirements when it comes to access the health care, but did not make these same red line other social safety nets. and that is going to be a key issue from some progressive. the president has to -- his team
6:23 am
of negotiators -- walk the fine line to make you sure he's able to give in to some public and demands to get a debt ceiling lifted and u.s. is not default. june 1 is becoming close around the corner and it is potentially a start of when we could see u.s. default. but at the same time he does not want to go back and redo what this administration hails as massive regicide of wins over the past two years. you think of inflation reduction act act, chip's act. it is a balance the white house is working right now at is why the president has brought reed with him to make sure he is kept up to speed on negotiating happening in washington. jonathan: these are serious issues. but you are at g7. can you explain to our audience with a lick spittle is?
6:24 am
annmarie: i think you are better at the translation but i will say, i know we are discussing right now. if anyone has not read the story, applico story in europe about -- politico story in europe about what boris johnson was had -- said to have said about emmanuel macron and it is not appropriate or polite for morning television program. jonathan: so experience. so professional. tom: this was alix steel and guy johnson she would have gone right for it. jonathan: that was quality. amh in japan, keeping it right up there. classy. i would not be. according to an mx aid, lori said -- according to an ex aid,
6:25 am
pretty brutal stuff. tom: i think they are bouncing off everything. there was -- they said united kingdom and france with all of the challenges versus the culture wars and entities of the united states politics and maybe that is true with new leadership we have. jonathan: the more i am reading this story come i am dying. if you read a lead paragraph that ever sounded like this, various boris johnson wants called micron vladimir putin lick spittle. lisa: what a story. emmanuel macron meets with georgia baloney who he has really contentious relationship with. they're going to have a sideline meeting people are interested in what that's going to be like.

6:30 am
jonathan: getting you to the weekend with equity markets voice for another morning of gains potentially on the s&p 500. s&p 500 yesterday having a look at 4200 on the s&p. at the close short of that level but ultimately at the highs of the year. the bumpy road to nowhere as a starting to go somewhere? in the bond market, it feels that way. every single day this week higher into friday. two year started the week south of 4%.
6:31 am
right now, 4.25%. tom: you go to the spread market . euro-yen is one of the things to look at. euro compared to japanese yen is not bursting through the resistance at 150 but it is getting there and has been there. jonathan: on the euro side, break of 1.08. it stays they are just about. three days a dollar strength. euro weakness's. the currency pair at a close yesterday levels we have not seen since march the lows since march. your weakness started to come through the back of week european data and resilient u.s. data. on the japan side, gdp, inflation, and a governor of the boj who wants nothing to do with tom:tom: -- we cannot waste time on this but i promise to read up
6:32 am
on japan. 7% nominal gdp. 4% inflation back to 1982. with deflation they have had. they have a fictitious real growth based on fictitious monetary policy of massive accommodations. what anybody would say is not if it ain't broke, fix it. it is broke and it is going to get fixed. huge risk to the global system. jonathan: similarly displaying little interest in making a move anytime soon. lisa: every note seem to concern they believe they would not make any move even though it does seem inflation has ticked up but they say they come out with a long-term study of how to move away from this. no risk at the june meeting table banding yield curve control but six months from now,
6:33 am
perhaps it is a different story. jonathan: let's talk about fed speak. chairman powell later on. here is the quote from priya misra. we see another 25 basis point hike, then pause, didn't rate cut. we expect the fed to cut by year end and then cut a more as economy enters recession. tom: good morning. you are focused not on 10 year or two year, but at five years. why are you suggesting dynamics in five years would be a more attractive place to be? priya: it is all about how far you are from first grade cut and where is the fed going to cut the rates to. we are six month away from the first rate cut. the risk are they do not cut this year but they start to cut the next year. they're looking for a slowdown.
6:34 am
once they start to cut, we think they're going to cut more than what is priced in. the market is pricing what we are calling the end points of the cuts at 3%. 3% is higher than that estimate of neutral rate. the market is not pricing ever session far from it. the market is pricing a normalization. we enter a recession and it is going to be a recession because of bank lending standards as consumer savers buffers runs out and we might have fiscal drag. as economy slows down, the fed is going to cut more. if the cuts are six masoud, i think it is tricky to be in the very front and -- months out, i think it is tricky to be in the very front and. i think five-year is the sweet spot. three or five-year are attractive because they are positioning for the fed whenever they start to cut, just idea
6:35 am
they cut a lot. tom: where is the 10 year yield? jurrien: -- priya: 10-year is benefiting elizabeth. must the pause happens, look at what is next. the economy does not move -- is not that volatile. right now, we are seeing slow down. i think it's move -- lose momentum. where looking at 10 year below 3% by year end at 2.5% by next year. 10 year will have a significant move. i like the five-year more because it's more sensitive to economic data. lisa: that have been talking resilience in retailers and their sales and a lot of companies able to pass along price increases which is one reason people are rethinking the view you put out there.
6:36 am
it is unlikely for the fed to cut rates significantly in next 12-24 months. michael hartman said the biggest pain trade next 12 months is fed fund rate rising to 6% instead of 3%. how realistic is that? priya: we are looking for one more hike. listening to fed speak, i think they would rather pause and stay on hold for longer than push the -- what is 50 basis points amongst friends? i think it is a high bar for them to keep going but i think it is very high bar for them to start to cut. they're looking for 4.5% unemployment rate by year end. where there, we are in a recession, but the fed might say it was our -- in our forecasts. i agree if inflation increases
6:37 am
somewhere -- the fed is telling us they want to slow things down. agreei think they're going to p hiking and as a result they will overdo it. i think we are in restrictive territory. it takes a while for different parts of the economy to slow down. i think it is so tricky to trade this market. you have to be -- remember as to step in. we step in yesterday. we are long-duration here. we get another sell off. the technical us with all the fdic sales, we should think about that as well. one hundred billion dollars fdic is selling on fixed income paper. is a part of the reason why we have risen in rates. at the economy slows down, i think it is a big pain trade as well. lisa: if the fed does raise rates, is it enough to break backs of some of the regional banks that are drawing on some of the emergency lending facilities even though the crisis if it was one has simmered off? priya: deposit outflows have
6:38 am
stabilized. there are still continuing to leave banks and i think that is going to continue to have -- it is very hard for banks to compete with deposits went money market funds give you 5% and at the fed continues to raise rates, i think that gap continues to be wide. i think the regional banks are in trouble, not so much because of massive outflows, their entire business model, they are fighting from the fed at the fed at 5%, it is hard to find your assets which you bought at 2%. i think that is going to be a slow drag this year and beyond. tom: you are out rages when you talk about inversion and large immersion and lonely. can you frame out -- let's assume we get beyond the debt idiocy -- keyframe out 6% three month t-bill? -- can you frame out 6% three month t-bill? no
6:39 am
one is looking for that. all my radar is up. priya: the big pain trade as if inflation remains high. it is the best indicator of market expectations of inflation. it extremely mispriced. it is sub 2% in near term. i think the market is saying inflation will come down and it is why the fed would not raise rate. what if inflation become sticky? that was the biggest aspect of our call, inflation is slow moving and lagging. if inflation stays high, there is your case for the 6% fed fund, but is that movie five-year? the more the fed raises rates, the more they will have to cut. i have to think they take rates to restrictive territory then they keep it there for a while tilting slow down that's going to meet they're going to have to be more accommodative. jonathan: what is 50 basis points between friends? priya misra wonderful to catch
6:40 am
up with you. what is $5 trillion between friends? lisa: can you imagine at dinner? jonathan: deer are more than 6%. lifting their outlook, ceo chairman john may saying there continues to benefit from bareboat market conditions and improving operating environment. tom: it is a huge symbol of manufacturing american might. i'm not see with the dollar conversion here is to lift it up . a little bit of a weak dollar. that has the play in it. lisa: there is a story about how many billions of dollars of headwind or tailwind for companies depending on where they were on the dollar, but putting that aside, the fact
6:41 am
that construction foresee sales up 15%, to give you a sense of how much they increase their profitability. but here is the issue -- how much is this because price of food is going up? farmers are wendy to form more and replacing their -- wanting to far more and replacing their equipment and wanted to do so at higher rates because the price of food is going up. tom: there's always that by the new toy out there but it is a symbol and i say it plays into global wall street as well because in the cfa curriculum you make or break on the equipment leasing. break is the operative word there. jonathan: the stock is up nicely in premarket. here is the outlook for deere. here is the outlook from -- on the dollar and china.
6:42 am
this story starting to break. the big dollar short consensus call you heard so much on. things started to move the other way. jordan rochester publishing this, european and chinese data surprises in freefall pointing to weaker growth expectations and with it a stronger dollar in the midterm. i saw a lot of that in my mailbox yesterday. tom: can they slow down liverpool? jonathan: that coming up next. this is blue. . -- this is bloomberg. lisa: keeping you up-to-date with news around the world. with the first word, i am lisa mateo. white house negotiators say they are making steady progress towards reaching a debt limit deal. in a call from japan were president biden is attending a summit, he told them

june, there's always the doubt it is conservative and there is a failing base of the cash balance that perhaps that early june date is more real than we thought it was a few weeks ago. tom: the only way to understand this is to go into treasury and you stand there in the classroom. -- cash room of her cash actually moved for the united states of america and we are all including our politicians on both sides removed from the cash iness of society. jonathan: slowly getting real. lisa: maybe it's while we are hearing real talk from kevin mccarthy and president biden saying there is something that needs to get done next week.

it needs to get done. perhaps it is the date because it is a real deadline. jonathan: that the deadline for the debt talk and we hear more on that the next hour or so. here's what we are hearing from the south side that it may be this view on europe, china, rest of the world is starting to break. what we are hearing from jordan rochester wrote european and chinese data surprises in freefall. really pushed eurozone data surprises to be close. points to weaker growth expectations and with eight stronger dollar in near-term. taking a look at euro-dollar the past 10 days. a break of 1.08. 1.0793. that is a big change from 1.10 if you weeks ago. tom: i'm going to go at rapid speed. what is the significance of out past seven?
6:50 am
with the symbolism of 7.01? jordan: for markets, it is a big deal but for as we think maybe it is the 7.25 level where people are more uncomfortable. we had a statement call saying they want to reduce speculation in currency market. we have seen that before. it is why we see rally a bit today. the momentum in chinese economy has changed significantly from what we hoped it would be if you weeks ago. that has been driving the underperformance but also u.s. side of things as well. he had a more hawkish statement from regional fed governors. that is help the fed pricing just as well. combine that together, we are looking for 730 in -- by middle of july. it is a quick move.
6:51 am
we have been in low volatility environment. people have gotten bored of seeing risk. it is not really the scenario for us. we think it's going to have a big move to come. jonathan: people starting to think about maybe going the other way in fx market after big consensus you build up. can you the best way to play that through g10? jordan: absolutely. the market keeps reminding you cannot lean back, i have this long term medium view. you have to be active and respond. what is happening here is data in europe has underwhelmed. i thought at first we could ignore it. i thought factory orders folding lower could be corrected in -- following lower could be corrected in the next months but
6:52 am
we have seen the forward signals also turning lower. momentum is gone. we're not sure euro-dollar. we think the better trade a short cable. because next week we have u.k. cpi and we think there's going to be a big drop in the number. we could go below 8%. we have been around 10% for roughly seven months. it has been painful for the consumer. hopefully next week we get this signed bank of england has than enough and get that below 8%. 7.9% of team is looking for. we get that, pricing of the boe, around 45 basis points the next two meetings, that might had lower. we think there is one more rate hike to come. lisa: i love how you describe people getting bored as they put out one trade for too long and switch over to someone else. sounds like junior high school version of macro trading.
6:53 am

7:20 am
guinea. he cannot reschedule a potential default and it is something that is a concern for all of these world leaders, g7 or not. but he said to me, what they have seen excessive months and years with united states putting bigger emphasis on their work in the region and that is what you see here on the g7. the debt ceiling ceiling looming large and the president. it is changing his plans. many critics saying the dysfunction in washington under mining the goals. the president still going to have these important conversations including the quad on the sidelines here of the g7. tom: discuss the john kirby interview yesterday were at -- clearly frustrated at how the debt debate has taken over the meeting. jonathan: he did not want u.s. to become detonation and not pay

its bills. i'm looking at the axios reporting that treasury secretary yellen telling people publicly, privately this early june x-date is real. did you get that sense it is real? how real is the date? annmarie: when we first got that, she said as early as june 1, but i got the sense from her when i sat down with her, that there is an immense amount of concern in treasury. they want to see congress act. she did not want to discuss potential contingency plans if there were to be a default on which payments u.s. to prioritize. it is something not just looming large here i g7, clearly looming large on her and treasury because she is not change that posture. it early as june 1 and what you hear in terms of political
7:22 am
rhetoric right now is they are rushing to get this deal done by the end of may. i think that speaks volumes to the concern that as early as june 1 is serious that first week potentially be when u.s. could suffer a default if they do not have a deal and they do not lift the debt ceiling. lisa: does the backdrop weaken -- weekend and come together on some sort of china plan? annmarie: i think the president wants to come here with a bank message to his partners -- a message to his partners to make sure everyone is aligned when it comes to dealing with china. what you hear now from officials within the european union, united states, they do not want to decouple, they want to de-risk. it is an important message the president had to bring, especially on the hills of

7:37 am
next couple of months and were broadcast interviews. his age is away. i'm interested in what the strategy will be. do you just talk about woke, liberal policies this, liberal policies that? tom: we are going to have to see and we have a team that will go through that and part of that is folding into the culture wars and what we do with finance and investment. jonathan: the cultural forces affecting the federal reserve. the fed is much closer to rates hiking then the beginning. they should start to position for the normalization of the yield curve. tom: he writes brilliant notes. he does this with all spring. the chief investment officer for
7:38 am
all spring. what are you hearing from your clients? we really say that in the bond market. but all of the meetings you have at all spring, what do investors in bonds feel now? what did they want to do? george: thanks for having me on this morning. good morning. what do clients want to do? two things really. number one, they are reconditioning themselves to yield. yields move higher. they are trying to optimize their yield position and that means if you're an individual you're pulling money towards the front end of the curve. in the flow data, and conversations, and our own activity across the curve. what we try to do is encourage clients to think beyond tomorrow.
7:39 am
to think beyond three months out. it's difficult to do. try to get clients to extend their duration by longer maturity bonds and in doing so blocking today's yield for the future. as you get close to a pause in the fed cycle bonds do well. if you wait for the goldilocks moment when the fed is on hold or maybe even cutting, you've left a tremendous return on the table. the opportunity cost for cash goes up and not down. the second component is four-year duration buyers, your long-duration managers, those folks look at this market and say i don't need to be a hero. i can't lock in the type of yield that an institutional investor typically wants which is different that individual.
7:40 am
with 5-6% yields for 10, 20 or 30 years is precisely what the institutional investor wants. there is this tension in the market. consumers moving towards the front end, institutional on the long and in the macro behind it. we have seen bond markets fall into the lower end of the range. we are in the upper end of the range for the 10 year. at the next phase of the cycle is precisely where bond investor should be looking at right now. it is not tomorrow, but it is coming. that's what were trying to set up in our portfolios. lisa: because you can't do coupon clipping, -- george: credit markets are doing well.
7:41 am
companies themselves capitalize investment grade and high yield companies are in good shape. inflation is not a universal bad. you put up the earnings reports of companies earlier and you have a wide range of companies that are doing well right now. it is a segmented market. credit selection becomes important. those good companies are paying attractive coupons. that coupon clipping and compounding an portfolios is very powerful. we are watching stocks move higher but we are also watching the bond market generate nice, solid returns in clipping a coupon to invest, spend, pay out. that's a very different dynamic we see in the bond market then we saw 10, 18 months ago.
7:42 am
it is the reconditioning of why do i own a bond and how should it perform in my portfolio? we are having those conversations every day. bonds are back. they are back in the central part of many investors portfolios and are aligning themselves very nicely with equities and help create diversification in your portfolio. jonathan: it is wonderful to get your perspective. george bory there. i saw a taxi with the commercial on top, that's a massive change. henrietta treyz is up next.

7:53 am
mandeep: you could automate a lot of pass and where i think ai can make a difference is in the terms of an autonomous software. for me, auto drive e is the chatgpt situation where you leverage large amounts of data and you are making that decision real-time. there are so many use cases where you can drive activity as a result of large amounts of data processing you have available. i don't think all the jobs will disappear. it is about productivity and what helps you drive productivity. tom: yesterday was one of these can we throw out some of these books? and i throughout the book wage curve.

well it replace classic books? mandeep: i think they can help you teach basic concepts wearing creates a level playing field for students in the class. not everyone can pick ups concepts right away and this allows someone who has a personal assistant and may not get as much of that book that he wants. jonathan: we will pretend to do half the things we need to learn? it's never made sense to me. that education has not changed with the birth of all this technology over the past several decades? lisa: they're going to have to change real quick. whether it's removing access to

gpt, it will have to be a different kind of teaching and the use of ameliorated devices. tom: what this will do as a separation of people who get it, have done the courses, pass the exams and everyone else will be faking it with ai. there will be an elite group of people that worship alan turing and did the hard work. jonathan: will they have social skills? tom: hell no. lisa: i am getting a recommendation for positivity on fridays. one of these days i will not talk about armageddon. we will get there. jonathan: was i meant to be constructive? that did not sound constructive.

these are the questions that people have been talking about. it's not that under the radar. is this something you have been talking about? mandeep: clearly it can affect everyone's job including research analysts. tom: the two year yield, thus the story of the morning. jonathan: ok, that's a transition. it is very close to 4.3, yields are up every day this week. the equity market and s&p 500 are at nine-month highs. david bailin from citigroup coming up. we will talk to david and just a moment. what do you say tom, the kurds to be in the stock market? how much courage do you

8:02 am
ignoring dinner. lisa: that's a dessert spoon. tom: every green tea ice cream the president is missing. jonathan: i think they want us to be talking about, he will leave dinner early and talk about negotiations. the fact of the matter, they are hoping there is a framework for the agreement. the treasury's cash balance has come in from 140 two something like 60 billion, 68 billion to be specific. tom: we have an important wall street guest with us.

john deere with the 36% up. lisa: there are glimmers of shoots at something. people are taking risks off the table to tie ideas together. at what point will corporate resilience lead the way up in the sense there is optimism and capital expenditure and profits as people keep spending? tom: let's start the data with the vix. jonathan: two decent gains on the data. the highest level we have seen since august 25. that was the day before chairman powell spoke in jackson hole, wyoming. we had some pain going into october but were closer to where we are.
8:04 am
4.268 on the two-year. tom: forget about the theory, for most people it is about missing a bull market. for others, recalibrating. for many others it is the fear of being in cash. david bailin from citigroup. you've been in the markets throughout all of these processes. how do you have the courage to be in the market after a run to 4222. david: this is why market timing is terrible. it's a question of than what you own and not when you own it? what's in the equity portfolio?
8:05 am
for the past 12 months we been defensively positioned. that is paid off. and now you see rotation, ai and tech because you're going through a revolutionary period of time. getting exposure to the technology and companies who use this technology is going to be important. then there are pockets of value out there. look at financials. if a year from now if financial stocks will be higher, if they are well-capitalized they will tolerate the market. ultimately, this is essential to our economy and it should not be marked down 30%. the most important thing is looking for. jonathan: the answer to this question, i hear it on financial news programs. how much to allocate to one thing or another?
8:06 am
isn't that highly dependent on who you are and where you are in life? david: you have to determine what your spending patterns are and actually have a plan. regardless of that, if you think about how portfolios are constructed. there are some great ideas. a great example today, is the fact that right now, you have foreign stocks at their cheapest level, as cheap as they were back since 1935. the dollar is at its highest level and no one talks about putting money overseas right now. that's an example of where you do asset allocation. what is going to happen between now and several months from now, people will focus on 24 and they will want higher equity allocations. lisa: are you even weighed when
8:07 am
it comes to places like private credit that offers a tremendous amount of yield? david: the point you made is extraordinary. if you can get in the fixed income market and equity rate of return should you do it? absolutely. private credit is an example. the credit risk is not there now. these are the kinds of things that should be put into portfolios on the fixed income side. you've touched on this, the people who are focused on deposit rates in one month yields will miss the fact that now is the time to move their duration out and build resilient portfolios that hold those rates for longer. lisa: do you think rates are
8:08 am
going to come down? is this a golden period of time? are you seeing this as an opportunity for outsized returns that won't come again? david: you will see the same thing in the bond market. we are investing into a slowing economy. even the resolution of the debt agreement you were talking about , that will take away stimulus, take liquidity out of the economy. we are now talking about investing for 2024, to what the market will look like next year and that's what's going on in the markets. jonathan: you mentioned opportunities abroad and i want to work through these numbers with you. dax is at a record today.
8:09 am
someone is buying it. david: i'm talking about emerging markets. jonathan: let's go there. chinese data has started to disappoint. what is it about e.m. that works for you? david: you have a lot of companies in brazil and china where there earning stories are picking up markedly. we have seen earnings from internet stocks and they are being ignored. we are overweight there. they have done a great job with real yields, the race will come down. they will benefit in terms of their stock price appreciation. you have to do this in anticipation when it is not fun to do it. thus the same thing with ai. if you think about which companies will benefit by building an ai department like they do their i.t. department.
8:10 am
those companies who use it will be the beneficiaries of it and you identify it. jonathan: how do you identify it? david: think about a consulting company. how is it that they will modified the business they will provide to clients? they will teach ai. they will build ai. companies that go out and build models using ai. you can identify who is doing it. my joke internally is that ai will tell you who is using ai. you will see which companies are actually using it and that will be a determinate and how you go about investing. tom: u.s. multinationals have international exposure. there is a start up with 60% of revenue is foreign revenue. can we go back to the old days
8:11 am
where people buy u.s. multinationals as a foreign proxy? david: i'm not exactly sure because of the valuation difference. let's talk about energy stocks in europe. my view is you have to be conscious of valuation. everyone is focused on the u.s.. when we look at 2024, people will be focused on global investing. jonathan: this was great. it's great to see one person. david: you need to invest in a company that makes the dessert spoon. lisa: i like the small ones. jonathan: let's get to the euro, one point 08 against the dollar. president lagarde speaking at the media, the ecb needs to

8:20 am
and their predictions but to watch the congressional calendar when they pass debt ceiling bill. pay attention to the congressional recess schedule. tom: what does it say right now? henrietta: right now we will probably see bill on sunday, monday morning. speaker mccarthy will file the bill that he and president biden's team reached. they will hopefully not vote on a bill until wednesday or thursday of next week. anything before that, and i'm anxious about the trump moment. the houses moving first. the democrats on the house side that provide the bulk of the votes are not going to have local cover from democrats and the senate. we will see the house move first and i hope there will not be a vote until wednesday or thursday
8:21 am
of next week. at that point, senator schumer could call his caucus back. 11th hour really does mean the 11th hour and they could well have to come back two days before the x state and pass the bill in the senate. that is what i am bracing my it investors four. lisa: what is the risk that there is a technical default because someone makes a mistake? henrietta: i don't think there is any risk of thought. i am afraid of a tarp like moment, i think the odds of a failed vote are 40%. but that's a good week before we need a bill to pass. i know they need 10 days to get it through, but if you're from the senate or house and you've
8:22 am
seen these bills come into law. they can work all night long to get it done. the risk of default is 2%. i have not bought the hype this entire process. i don't think there is a risk of default. lisa: the hype made by all of the congress members and president, but his changed over the past two weeks. ? henrietta: if you want me to get on my soapbox. the last time we had a balanced budget was under clinton. instead of using the cereplast, we pass tax cuts and blow up the deficit. we dated and the trump years, 7.8 trillion of deficit and now in the biden administration with looming 3 trillion in cuts and were talking about 500 billion
8:23 am
worth of deficit reduction. it is a political show designed to say the republican talks about federal spending, no new taxes. and democrats have to explain what they spent the money on, working family aid, the energy department, it's about scoring political points. that is where we are in this charade. tom: i would suggest the charade began in new hampshire when george bush senior when he got run over on the tax verbiage that we have been living with for years and years. let's presume that tax verbiage does not change? everyone is going to want a tax cut, everyone wants a free lunch? henrietta: in 2025, right after this next presidential election cycle.
8:24 am
the entire of the 2017 tax cuts expire. at that point, we will blow up the deficit and again by extending those packages for another year or two just like we did in 2010 and 2012. if there is a red wave you will see a material reconciliation bill that is a repeat of 2017 which was a 5 trillion tax bill. it will be more expensive in 2026. jonathan: rents and repeat. i think you got a sense of how henrietta feels about this. the debt part just keeps on growing. tom: it does, what is so important here is the free lunch we have had from our
8:25 am
superiority, demographics where we have been able to go to bernanke and powell to other factors where reduced r-star doesn't get overrun by growth. lisa: where is that good, where is that bad? even health care that is helping people, how do you fix it? there is not an honest discussion with people are trying to score political points. jonathan: we spoke about this earlier this week. if you get two points for passing legislation or three points for fighting. i am going for points and they are three points for fighting. lisa: there is something interesting that republicans don't think this is winning points to have the u.s. default.
8:26 am
all of a sudden, there doesn't seem to be anyone saying this is positive. earlier on, maybe it's like do or die. no one thinks that now. tom: some republicans, in the middle of the pandemic 60%, 18%, we are getting tax receipts back up to the historical norm of 21, 22. jonathan: in the next hour, emily roland along side jim caron for morgan stanley. this is bloomberg. ♪

fear of missing out what people who have placed us -- bets short. lisa: out about the people waiting to buy the dip and it doesn't come? what do you do with your cash? tom: there will be a fed discussion at 11:00 a.m.. we will look to michael mckee and others. it is with the famine of the federal reserve. it will be in honor of an economist that came up with the idea, you know john williams of the new york fed. this is thomas law about, who if you are studying economics in german, you know the german economist everyone is talking about, and that would be claudia
8:32 am
sahm. she joins us from sahm consulting. they came up with this theoretical construct that has been a gift because we have had a lower r-star that has allowed us to have debt. claudia: they do matter. one of the big reasons the deficit -- the first year under president biden, the second year you saw as the fed raised interest rates the cost of servicing some of the debt that took a hit in the deficit. these relationships are there. we get into r-star territory i get uncomfortable because conceptually it is beautiful but our world right now is not beautiful. we have seen the fed move it
8:33 am
around. it is hard for me to the stomach. if we get to a good place, i will take it. tom: i totally agree it is a beautiful theory. but the fact is we live in the real world and richard clarida have -- has been brave to say that. but if we get a higher r-star with bigger debt and new hire interest payments the government has to make, does the american house of cards fall apart? claudia: i don't think so. if there is falling apart in the next few weeks it is going to be the debt ceiling. this pressure it is putting on the deficit and government borrowing is not my first order concern. it is the case we went from very low interest rates to moving fast. the fed moved the interest rate up and that was what feelings about r-star was.
8:34 am
they translated to getting we are getting r-star wrong. the logic is it is tough to see it right now. lisa: how much should fed chair jay powell pushback about rate cuts? can he do anything to make people believe they are turning the other way? lisa: is preaching to the choir in terms of the high interest rates. there is no one who is going to say are you going to cut rates so you are lined up with markets? i think that will get a lot of support for what they've done last year. lisa: lori logan, the dallas fed came out and said she is not there yet and the data doesn't confirm the idea of a pause in seemed very open to another rate hike in june. do you think that could be disruptive for the financial system, that the smaller banks that have experienced dress that
8:35 am
could be brought over the edges another 25 basis points are do you think it is of little consequence? claudia: this is not a make or break in our economy. what had -- what i have been impressed with listening to the chatter at the fomc, you have a mixed bag. it bostick said he was ready to pause. you have participants in the fomc who are giving us lots of different messages and it is so much relief to know they must be having a very robust debate and that is what we need it right now, to make sure people are thinking through it. tom: i will go to the work out of it vcu talks about we have an emotional point on inflation where we begin to fall apart, where inflation matters you are acclaimed for your work on our limited attention about
8:36 am
inflation. if we have disinflation, does america's view of inflation called down and cool? claudia: yes, not because they are watching the cpi. as food prices are going down it is really important for households. i don't think there is a magic number where it falls apart. i think it will be an external event, which the turmoil and the banking center was the real thing and i was very surprised they didn't cause well that was still in motion to meetings to. if they are laser focused on getting nation now. and i have been asked they just stuff at three and, no, they are going to to one way or another. tom: the heart of the matter and we say this in the passing of robert lucas, the giant in new york, the institution is ex post.
8:37 am
how much disinflation do they need to see before they actually do what they should have done a number of months ago? claudia: they continue to chop up inflation into what they are worried about. the thing that worries me, and they know this, inflation is the last place the rate hikes show of because it takes time to filter through the economy. with that the consumer price index and the mismatch in openings and people searching for work the starting to close. they are getting signals about where inflation will be in the next six months and they are shrugging it off, we have to keep going. lisa: we are speaking to claudia sahm and a lot of people are saying
8:38 am
we are looking at artificial intelligence and technological advancements that could change the way we work and have education and live. from your vantage point at the fed, how much are they looking at these technological advancement as disinflation or inflationary and putting that into their model and understanding what is the right parameter to look at the current data? claudia: ai is not in the fed's models for monetary policy. and the fed is about stabilizing business sector. ai and what we call amazing innovations is five years or 10 years out. it will not be big enough to make a dent. they do some long-term modeling but with the supply shocks from code and the war in ukraine, they didn't have good tools. this is not even in their models for supply shock.
8:39 am
lisa: this is why a lot of people are saying they just don't know and why they are holding less clout in the markets. at what point do you feel the fed has high ground in understanding where we are in terms of the macro regime and what error this relates to? claudia: they are going to celebrate the day when we hit 2% on a sustained basis. that is what they are looking for. i personally think they have gone past the point of being data-driven. that means every time something comes out the markets react to it. they shouldn't be creating volatility. tom: explain the sahm will. everyone is hanging on what you say. how close to a recession are we? claudia: nowhere near.
8:40 am
the unappointed right -- rate rises slowly. and if you have a half percentage increase in the unemployment rate relative to the past year, you are in a recession two months or three months into a session. it is not a forecasting tool but are we there and it is zero right now and given how slow unemployment moves, covid was different, but it would take quite a while to get from zero to .5. it is an empirical relationship that held in the past but all of our empirical relationships are blowing up and it was conflicting with the data. it is tough and i appreciate the humility powell gives when he talks. tom: thank you very much to claudia sahm.
8:41 am
there are headlines that come out that give pause. the gentleman from australia will pause. lisa: james gorman is planning to step down from morgan stanley within the next 12 months. shares of morgan stanley lower by 1.7% as you see the immediate knee-jerk plunge. remember that they are having their annual shareholder meeting today, so perhaps this is the big takeaway. james gorman who has led this company and made acquisitions a lot of people really shrugged at he expanded it in a way that it to a new level. tom: colombia and then to mckinsey and with mathematical skills, what is interesting is he is revered for what he did with wealth management in the acquisition of assets for morgan stanley. i should say in the limited
8:42 am
headline we have, there is no discussion of the chairman word and you wonder what that will be. lisa: what is the replacement going to be and what does the mean and terms of the longer-term trajectory after the successful acquisitions and their ability. this was announced at the annual meeting. and he is going to be executive chairman after stepping down as chief executive officer. tom: who can we talk about who could speak about the bench in morgan stanley, ellen zentner or jim karen -- carrion. sonali basak joins us. is this a surprise? should holly -- sonali: we know
8:43 am
morgan stanley has been prepping the bench for a while. think about how many people have grown up under him and have left the firm and the two men under him, they are homegrown. they have been there for a long time at the most pivotal moments at the firm up and down. ted pick at the securities division helped make this a tough transition from cutting and adding to the fixed income business, how competing as the top prime broker in the equities business and at the wealth business, andy saperstein, the longtime lieutenant to james gorman, the question is and waiting for the headlines on this, at what point are they going to announce who is taking over? lisa: let me read the statement, this from gorman at the annual meeting, he said it is the board and my expectation that it will occur some point in the next 12 months, talking about his
8:44 am
departure and becoming the chair of the board. that is the current expectation the absence of a major change in the external environment. also a key question was this a decision he made independently for a lifestyle issue question mark was this some sort of strategic shift by the board made basically without is desiring this departure? sonali: it is hard to have evidence of that. when i started covering morgan stanley they were worth much less than goldman sachs and now they are worth much more. that divide has just increased despite many doubts. i remember years ago there was a conference call and you had analysts asking why he wasn't raising the bar more for morgan stanley and you had james gorman stepping back saying, be patient, we've got this. ultimately, he was right. there has been a lot of when you
8:45 am
look at the next level of the firm. this is very classic morgan stanley fashion. they announce when change and give you time to absorb it and then they announce the next. lisa: it is interesting me about the point that unless there is a shift in market conditions at a time when people have been talking about a financial crisis that never transpired and no people are almost talking about this stasis or calm. is this viewed as a comment period where they can actually make shifts like this without any major disruption in do it easily? sonali: a fascinating to talk about this when people are worried about a potential recession. morgan stanley has seen some of the worst days since 2008 and they know what it is like. it is calm enough to start transitioning. this is the time for the next generation to step in. tom: ok, maybe, paul davis wrote
8:46 am
this five months ago for bloomberg and thinking to the washington post for publishing paul davies. goldman sachs is "far, far behind morgan stanley." it is all about asset management. where do saperstein fit into that? my basic take is to pick is the older guy and has the swagger of -- ted pick is the older guy and has the swagger. sonali: in the trading business, these are a bunch of loyalists. this goes back to when keller was there and you worried about traders leaving without a solid person they trust to leads the troops. on andy, he has tens of thousands of financial advisors across the united states. they are less swashbuckling than the traders and investment bankers but it is steady and
8:47 am
they bring in the big bucks. tom: who decide that any firm who takes over? sonali: the board, but james gorman is on the board. tom: how independent is the morgan stanley board versus a guy that many people suggest is the ceo of the decade on global wall street? sonali: that is a great question. morgan stanley's board is diverse and committed. it has changed quite a bit in recent years. it has talent from the former securities and exchange commission, from japan during their deal with the financial crisis. it is quite independent relative to what you are seeing on wall street and that is what kind of makes the succession plan successful in the eyes of wall street. it is consistent and broad and diverse. lisa: if you're just joining now, the news of the day is
8:48 am
morgan stanley ceo james gorman planning to step down within 12 months. the shares popped lower about 1.7% but have retraced to just .6% as people digest the news. it does seem like this has been in the works and something they have been planning for and pulled the trigger a bit earlier . is there a sense of shift in the strategy of this company going forward or do you think it is stay the course and keep the homegrown talent and keep bugging away? sonali: they have always had wealth as a huge driver in asset management with the asset manager five or six years ago you couldn't see them becoming more than a train dollars in asset management. that had to change and it changed quickly for acquisitions. the question will be if they choose one man or the other, which part of the bank could suffer from any potential attrition or concerns. tom: goldman sachs 1.03 priced,
8:49 am
morgan stanley, 1.53. the guy is so modest he has underplayed what he did with managing money. that is the massive theme. you said he will stay as an executive chairman? lisa: is going to be chair. tom: what does the chairman do? sonali: they make sure nothing goes wrong and come back if something goes wrong here the initial market reaction tells you a lot. he is iconic at the home of morgan stanley and has changed more than any other bank has it changed. tom: nally bassett, thank you -- and ollie bassett -- sonali basak, thank you. we are looking at what is going on in wall street and spectacular about the synthesis
8:50 am
in the changing political economics in china. and as you do, there are books where you saying, this is the one this weekend. the new china playbook beyond socialism and capitalism. it is the academic read of the moment. thank you for joining us in new york. where did capitalism go, the model of chinese capitalism and what does the new post capitalism look like? dr. jin: capitalism is still there but it will never be above politics. there will be more regulation going forward. china will avoid becoming an american capitalistic society. they want to focus on industrial technical power. there are new goals in the new era, new generation to shape the contours of the economy. lisa: we got news about alibaba
8:51 am
as one of their capitalist success stories spitting out cloud business because potentially of stress they were coming under from the chinese communist party. how much is the new push hampering the economic capitalist push that has -- it has been focusing on for a number of decades? dr. jin: it will be a constant struggle between more growth and innovation and regulation. we are seeing china's government coming down harsh on monitoring or trying to prevent monopolies and protecting consumer data. the economy is in its worst state and they need the private sector and innovation. lisa: i am going to ask an unfair question. are people happy? dr. jin: as people on the street and overwhelmingly it will be yes. lisa: kisses against the common feeling in western media that -- this is against the common feeling in western media that

institutions. the severe loss of confidence of private businesses are making them hold back. tom: thank you for joining us today with the london school of economics. this is just the right size to get a huge perspective on all the changes going on in china. we need to return to an historic moment on wall street, james gorman announcing at the annual meeting that he will move away from duties as a chief executive officer. it will be good to speak to allison williams leading all the banking coverage at bloomberg intelligence. allison, what a shift in the morgan stanley and john mack and before to it james morgan brought? what did he bring?
8:55 am
allison: even though there has been a shift and there is a focus at the firm, the institutional business has thrived under gorman. i think the changes today are a natural progression. it was two years ago that the firm had named ted pick and andy saperstein and they are the heir apparent's. ted pick really transformed the business and did a great job with fixed income trading and took over equity trading and moved up. andy saperstein running the bigger wealth fund in the business. tom: david brooks at the new york times wrote an essay about the smooth guys versus the nerds . so you've got as a generalization the romance of banking, the meet and greet of banking, transactional nature of banking versus managing money
