6:00 am
>> demand is starting to slow. we are seeing that in the supply chain. >> are investors pricing in growth opportunities over the next five years? >> this has been a slow-moving economy and market. >> what we have seen so far seems more consistent when the soft landing in the labor market. >> we think we will be in a recession by the end of the year. >> this is bloomberg surveillance with tom keene, jonathan ferro, and lisa abramovitz. jon: welcome to wall street where a month feels like a year. good morning. this is bloomberg surveillance
6:01 am
on tv and radio. i am jonathan ferro as we close out may and kickoff to. --june. got out to jim reed of deutsche bank. ck reminding us that person public was taken out by -- first republic was taken out by jp morgan. tom: i thought bob michele of jp morgan was riveting and 80 -- in his view of this. that is a huge 44 june -- story for june. june one, there is a wall of economic data. we have an early jobs friday tomorrow. jon: yesterday, with sword --whi p sword. jobs data, job openings was surging and fed speakers came out. don't call it a pause. it upsets them.
6:02 am
>> the eyes them, we have a manufacturing recession that is not great and fed officials come out and what is data dependency me? you have been on this but the data doesn't matter. if we get a hot jobs report tomorrow, does it make a difference? jon: what did governor jefferson say? if we do pause, we mean skip and then skip means we could hike again that it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a peak rate of the federal reserve. will the market see it that way? lisa: right now, what you're seeing baked into the fed futures market are basically, there is going to be no hike this month and there's going to be a 25 basis point hike in july and cuts later. jon: data will put some over the line -- push them over the line. tom: i am interested in china.
6:03 am
yesterday's china dynamic was more important -- jon: thanks for listening to us. tom: i don't agree with any of this bet parliament spark -- this fed parliament stuff. several hedge feeds, bloomberg's george lee of our markets team in their summary of all the researching investments in china. jobs reports friday and china reopens sunday evening. jon: when is the -- where is the growth engine going to come from. lisa: what does that mean for europe? these are all the stories that are hard to get a handle on and going back to where you began, the idea that a month feels like a year, think of all the narratives we have gone through each week and here we are halfway through at an inflection point with the fed showing that the risks right now to the downside and they are aware of that so we have to wonder what are they looking for?
6:04 am
jon: the last three minutes felt like a year. equity futures on the -- china in the bond market your time by three basis points. why do you never listen to us? tom: the media parler game and all of the fed speech, it is not like it is a face -- waste of time, it is a slave to the data. claims and tomorrow's data is more important. jon: is that why you stop reading the fed speeches? you can tell. lisa: we are talking about the data dump and let's get a sense of what are we -- we are expecting. ism infection pmi's at 10 a.m. and i'm curious to see whether that reflects the dallas fed data. we are hearing from patrick harker at 1 p.m., whether he
6:05 am
does or cash double down on the skip or pause. we have banking executives speaking at a conference and this will be interesting especially in light of the acquisition we have forgotten about, first republic. we will hear from john walton, bill down jacket from pnc and brian moynihan and retail earnings, macy's, dollar general and curious to see on the lower end and lululemon after the market. i like lululemon. jon: there's something wrong with that. lisa: --jon: there is nothing wrong with that. lisa: is it --jon: is it on its way out? lisa: that is what i hear. jon: they are trying to push it out of midtown. tom: spx flat.
6:06 am
jon: you are not listening to us. tom: nasdaq up 8% and 500 basis points up over equally weighted nasdaq. no comment. i have never been in a lulu. jon: i'll mention to them, the s&p 500 marginal gains for the month of may and the nasdaq is lying. you have been clear having equity risks. kenny tells what -- can you tell us what you have been adding? >> i we were underweight in the fund for most of 22 -- 2022 and that proved to be the right thing. you have been adding back and the thesis is simple. the economy has proven resilient and we have spoken on the reasons, the labor market and access consumer spending.
6:07 am
we have for q1 earnings was sparked -- results and corporate america is doing all right and in a averment where nominal gdp will hold up a lot at her and we think there is an opportunity to add back on weakness, what we have been focusing on a stable growth and high quality growth. we are looking at companies that can generate risk consistency, margin consistency, low leverage that is very profitable and that is what we have been focusing on. tom: are there a lot of those companies out there. maybe you are doing it off your iphone but there are a lot of companies out there that give you better quality free cash flow growth? russ: there are. the market has been focusing on tech and parts of texts that are most leveraging is ai and there
6:08 am
are a lot of things we like but there are other parts of the market. you can talk about defense and luxury good factors. we are finding that there -- a lot of companies made in big u.s. space that are giving you quality cash flow is likely to hold up even if we do see some snow in the back half of the year. lisa: my favorite part about your note is that it sounds risk on, the idea that we have been adding to equity risk. you see opportunity and you read the rest of it, the economy is decelerating, we are going to have issues. perhaps recession is not a foregone conclusion but is there an interesting conclusion here that equity risk in some of these companies with all of the caveats is a safer bet than certain slices of the bond market? russ: that is a good way of putting it.
6:09 am
we have been adding equity risk back but adding it from a bear -- a very underweight position last week -- year. the point you made is a good one. you think about what has done well in this environment where you have many thinking -- a mini banking crisis. you have concerns about the debt ceiling. the companies that produce solid earnings grounds of outcomes. if you have a drawdown in the market, you will see these things take a hit the long-term, 18 months out, these are places not so much to hide but to weather what is likely to be a slowdown in what is still likely to be an averment with some uncertainty around how far the fed will go. lisa: we were talking about whether bonds will provide be offset or if some of these cash flow stocks are the new offset in a moment where 60/40 doesn't have the automatic dependency.
6:10 am
russ: i don't think 60/40 is what was made to be last year. in the aftermath of svb, you have to be positive in 2022 and flip back to negative. it will be a little more. -- little more varied. at the fed is going to talk about going further, you will see the stock bond correlation flip more than it did for the last 10 years. it is a matter of having good high-quality -- in the poor -- portfolio. this is the attribute we think is moped -- most important to portfolio. jon: it seems like you're in the zone when things are going right. i read this note. even your hedges are working with equities flying? what is the goal position.
6:11 am
-- gold position? russ: the gold does a couple things. if we see the back half of the year, real rates are declining. gold responds well. the dollar up looks like to have peaked. the other effective -- factor, whether we are talking about the uncertainty of china, the ongoing conflict in ukraine and the debt ceiling, one thing gold tends to work well as as a tale hedge when people worry about the wheels coming off. jon: roscoe strip -- roscoe strip --russ -- a blackrock. -- of blackrock. tom: what is fascinating is gold and euros, gold and yen.
6:12 am
jon: we haven't talked about the debt ceiling debate. 314-117 through the house with ease. speaker mccarthy calling that a bit of a win. when more definite cats vote more for this then republicans? lisa: this'll will a hard sell in the political theater sphere. jon: coming up next, heidi crebo-rediker of international capital strategies. >> give you up-to-date with news from around the world, i am lisa matteo. iran has reinstalled monitoring equipment. even as his engineers added stock to stockpiles of uranium.

jon: tonight, we all made history -- >> tonight, we all made history. this is the biggest cut any savings this congress has ever voted for. >> there has been a very good vote in the house of representatives and i hope we can move the bill quickly in the houses -- senate. jon: senate majority leader chuck sumer and speaker, and mccarthy passed the vote with ease. as senator schumer pointed out, potentially a vote on friday and into the weekend and onto the
6:18 am
president's desk. tom: one person thinks the senate will be -- it -- they slow it down and block it up. there was a brilliant article. it is thursday. it is not claims thursday. it is agreed upon adjustments thursday. beautiful chart. here is where we are. we are saving a lot of money. let's pull that puppy back over 24 months and the answer is to me, with the singular katz research in the u.s. -- new york times, we are doing nothing here. lisa: let's agree to disagree on how to deal with the big problems and come up with window dressing to put on tops we don't have. tom: two years out, we are going to re-addressed it -- readjusted. it is almost like the british

government. jon: not quite. this is the new world. the manufacturing crisis and you negotiate the budget. we will see this again and again. tom: bring the banner of again and on radio, it is too good to be true. it is agreed upon adjustments thursday. they agreed upon adjustments down the road and there's something else to say. we are going to go on from the budget and trying to move away from that. heidi crebo-rediker is with us. she is riding on much is she can on what we talk about -- talked about yesterday. that is china. if the china slowdown for real -- is the china slowdown for real? >> you have a lag in data and some revisions and i don't know if we understand that the data coming out of china is accurate in part because they are coming
6:20 am
out of a very significant covid lockdown. think back to when we were publishing our data and revising it after covid. i think it is too hard to focus to adjust one number. our focus on the youth unemployment younger -- number as a serious concern. tom: you have a great transatlantic and transworld, language -- linkage between europe and china and you say tv to the rescue for china -- ev's to the rescue for china and a lot of doubt from china will be solved with -- growth. this got that -- discuss that. heidi: i got back from europe and china was a key part of all the conversations because of the u.s. trading technology council, with secretaries antony blinken and others, we saw a focus just
6:21 am
on the main bone of contention which is that the subsidies for ev's in the u.s. are not offered to eu automakers because of the china components to the vehicles. you have this muscle memory of trade negotiators, going after what is going on between the u.s. and the you -- the eu and have china exporting more vehicles and more autos that are chinese. a striking uptick in ev's. tom: there is the analysis, whoever is out on twitter trying to figure out when elon musk's airplane lee shanghai. -- leaves shanghai. lisa: i have to go into the
6:22 am
conversation that you are having in europe which is what are the subsidies going to look like particularly when it comes to the recent tech driven investments in u.s. were promising to make? that anything change. was any of the have to of some of those programs removed from the agreement we got from the debt ceiling or was it that adjustments that came in after the fact? heidi: one of the great things about being overseas is that you did not have a lot of focus on the debt ceiling, as opposed to living in 24/7 here. the focus on u.s. politics was driven by trump. in looking at the numbers of the upcoming elections, whatever deals being struck between the u.s. and the eu, are they up for grabs if trump were to win the presidency? trump played out prominent role in concerns on whether or not there was a need for europe to hedge negotiations.
6:23 am
i think that is why we did not see contestants, the same kind of consensus we saw at the g7 and other meetings in the past two weeks with our negotiators in europe. lisa: what does that mean with respect to europe's -- u.s. and european alliance with respect to china, if there is a tepid receivable of the united states with ambiguous leadership? heidi: the u.s. seems to be in line with the eu commission. there are 27 different member countries and all of them are playing out -- how they perceive weakness versus strength and need to hedge. you have to have unanimity, it was in full display perfectly in china, and you don't have that in the eu where you do in asia. jon: you have the commission and
6:24 am
you have macron. that is why things have been confusing. lisa: yes and emmanuel macron is saying, we will strike a deal with you. let's go to beijing. it is like what are you doing? i wonder how much reticence there is to partner with the u.s. and a light of some of the recent subsidies, and volatility. do you think there is a micron issue -- micron issue --emmanuel macron issue? jon: that is me trying to be diplomatic. heidi crebo-rediker there from the council of florence -- foreign relations. there is an opec-plus meeting into the weekend. this is from bloomberg and a whole host of organizations. has everyone's attention.
6:25 am
lisa: there are some put -- potential news outlets invited but it is on even -- it is unclear if they will go. what are they doing? they are likely going to put cuts that will be implemented to get the price of. what are they trying to message? tom: just before we went to air, edward morris published in citigroup, opec plus and its "ma rket power." he has gotten this call right and he says they are struggling with what is their market power and i wonder if that is where this blockage of news organizations comes from because they're petrified about how to get their message coherent and how to get their message out without the journalism goes into questioning policy. jon: opec-plus and the countries
6:26 am
that make up the cartel are not known for their free and open press in their own countries. lisa: it's not like the media outlets are going to go and speak to people in the room so what are they playing up -- at? what is the single --signal. jon: some media organizations on the outside texting delegates. tom: the key phrase is simple. it is happy it glosses -- javier's fault. jon: equities are slightly positive. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪

jon: the scores are in for the month of may. the s&p 500, features in june pushing higher. for may, just about closed out may with a monthly gain on the s&p 500, on margin or third month of gains on the s&p. nothing marginal on the nasdaq 100 almost 8% to close on the month. on the russell, positive. nvidia through may that almost $250 billion to the market cap
6:31 am
of that company. how impressive is that? tom: i think a lot of other things lifted up as well and what is interesting is one year trailing selling may. nasdaq up 7%. the dow flat, and a little negative so it has been a one year churn year. jon: your two month, they look at this right now. trim that monthly advanced from yesterday's session and right now 4.4464. something like 40 basis points on the two year. pricing out cuts is the right way to put this as opposed to pricing in hikes. there is will -- real weakness in the data in china and europe. looking at the single currency, the euro against the dollar shipping up as 1.0709.
6:32 am
it is down 3% on the currency -- that is the worst month this year and it is the worst month going all the way back to april of last year. tom: can we all agree it is the surprise of the year? i think everyone has been looking -- jon: there has been many. doubts about the fed, they may hike again. lisa: surprise of the week which is basically a year when it comes to 2023. jon: i remember when everyone said by the banks. remember that? lisa: that was good. jon: there is a lot of fed speak recently. president harker ahead of the time period.
6:33 am
he is sounding more and more like a fed first chair and the committee together. the risk consensus on the committee is no cuts and if we skip june, we are not calling it a pause so you can see how the language is shifting and if you wanted to find consensus on the committee, you can see where chairman powell can find the consensus. tom: they are all looking at the data. they are slaves to the data. we had randy carson are -- randy carson are -- randy kroszner on. jon: the emphasizing cpi, and emphasizing that we can skip june. tom: can we get existential? what does --
6:34 am
jon: they dial one 800 wall street journal. tom: that was the stephen wright moment. it is our immense pleasure to speak with alan ruskin. his notes are absolutely fabulous and you can get them through deutsche bank. you have an absolutely trillion on m2 dynamics -- an absolutely brilliant --paragraph on m2 dynamics. alan: we will see dated today that shows that productivity was extremely weak in q1. and also on eight training basis and that weakness in
6:35 am
productivity translates to higher unit rate cots -- costs. output is relatively weak relative to employment. that is part of the week productivity story so it adds up to nominal gdp doing better than real gdp at this point. some of this i think is this natural overhang from the m2 growth. it has something like 30% m2 growth above trend, i year ago and that is down to 20% overhang thanks to weaker m2 growth that we have seen recently but that is propping up the nominal numbers. it doesn't ultimately pay you to print money. it doesn't generate real gdp growth. tom: the real gdp growth is the recession game.
6:36 am
your colleagues have been brilliant on this. one person has arguably the single best recession delay call of the last 18 months. reframe that now. i am not saying agree with him but at least frame out the alan ruskin recession to come. alan: i have been on the opinion that given the overshoot in inflation, even if we have a mild recession, i will still call that as a soft landing scenario. i know it is semantics but i think we are on track. we do need to see some weakening in the labor market and everything we have solved from the opening stated yesterday suggest employment will remain relatively resilient so you have this weird dynamic where employment is relatively strong compared to output and i think you are seeing weakness and the manufacturing sector worldwide. that is another story. we are still on track to
6:37 am
something that starts recession/ shallow recession but it is not looking like a deep recession unless we get some sort of nonlinear event like the banking sector prices -- crisis taking hold in a proper credit crunch. jon: you mentioned manufacturing. manufacturing pmi's worldwide, europe, china, south of 50 contractionary. it screens rate cuts. you look at services which makes up the bulk of some economies is replaced -- is robust. dollar weakness, to dollar strength and as you look at things, heavily broken that trend? is this something new and if it is in where there's that new engine of dollar weakness come from? alan: i think it is deferred dollar weakness. the whole idea about divergence trade that worked against the
6:38 am
dollar where the euro -- the fed was on hold and china was going to reopen and strength we would expect there -- we did expect there. all of that hasn't materialized. -- a lot of that hasn't materialized. the u.s. has been more resilient than anticipated and what you are seeing on the exchange rate is elective of what you're seeing on interest rate spreads. that story is taking its cue the relative growth story. it depends on where the fed goes. fed hike in june, it seems let -- less likely after yesterday's comments but if they hike in june, they will be down 105 on the euro-dollar. lisa: you have this really
6:39 am
interesting point in your latest note where you were saying there is little risk of over tightening. that does not seem to be the theme we are hearing in the fed speak that has been coming out every day. can you explain that, what that means as to where is -- policy should be and what it will likely be and what that means for longer-term inflation? alan: we all have our own numbers but if you look at the bloomberg numbers, you look at six-month financial conditions, 12-month financial conditions, if anything, they have eased rather than tightening. the tightening needs to come from something like the credit side. you're not seeing it in terms of credit crisis particularly. maybe some markets are tightened and close and up -- and closing up. you are not seeing -- it is a non-binary -- nonlinearity
6:40 am
event. maybe the federal reserve, which has some distinct advantages is -- and those more on the banking side, excluded you need -- that holds the key as to rather financial conditions tightening materially. it looks like they were tightening starkly. a couple months ago and now much lesser. jon: wonderful to get here you. alan ruskin of deutsche bank. but talk about moving fast and breaking things. the fed has moved quickly and some things have broken but the economy has moving --moved slower than anticipated. we are going to do more. the end of august, we need to cause pain and if we don't, that means more pain down the road. unemployment is 3.4% going into payrolls tomorrow and when we
6:41 am
started in may, we were coming off the banking turmoil of regional lenders and we work anticipating aggressive tightening in a financial conditions. it is happening much more slowly than people anticipated. lisa: the pressure to buy is still there under the surface and i thought that michelle bowman affected that well, the fed governor, when she said what you can see is that any kind of loosening of financial conditions, any kind of decline in mortgage rates re-up the search into housing. they cannot kill it with rates that are much higher, more than dollar -- double where they were on average and this indicates to them better -- there is an axis that has been beaten under the system. jon: balance of risk has shifted. -- the balance of risk has shifted. asking that question now, where it is very -- asked them that
6:42 am
question now, where do they stand on that? lisa: how much can they really have conviction at a time when bear are the lack affects -- when there are the lack affects. jon: sympathy for the fed? where is the real bramo? lisa: it is not sympathy for the fed but sympathy for the fourth -- flight. --plight. jon: comes in with the entourage. ed: and being yelled at for being happy --lisa: and being yelled at for being happy. jon: i think the audience would handily agree with me. tom: there you go. dive in. jon: 7:30. let cf deborah cunningham has
6:43 am

6:48 am
index, it has been a weakness for commodities. this is a real joy. this is the conversation of the day on opec-plus. we are thrilled he could join us with bloomberg opinion. i want to cut to the chase and i don't want you to speak for bloomberg and other organizations about the back-and-forth of opec plus. i don't think that would be appropriate right now but i do want you to speak about your essay about the aramco allusion out there. a brilliant piece of the illiquidity of aramco, that speaks to an opec-plus that wants to play by its own rulebook. what is that rulebook to get the price of oil higher? >> what opec has been trying to do is cut production. i would argue they are putting production because they believe
6:49 am
they have too much speculation into the market and they are not targeting oil prices and they are trying to increase investments into the oil industry for future oil demand. the rulebook of opec is to keep prices as high as they can. it used to be $50 and $70 and now opec is trying to keep prices the closes they can to $100. they have not been able to do so, not so much for the demand which doesn't look great for oreo but it doesn't look too bad. there is lamoreaux coming from places -- there is a lot more oil coming from places. tom: i went back and did a study of the collapse of 1986, seared into the memory of all of opec and particularly saudi arabia. it gets us down to a barrel of $42 a barrel, are they worried about the ghost of 1986 are
6:50 am
other times we have seen oil slide? javier: i think that is prescient on the memory -- present on the memory of any saudi arabian minister. they think -- speak about the stakes of 86. i don't think we are facing a sent -- situation similar to that. the demand growth for the next two-three years looks relatively ok but it is a question of what is the price of oil to bounce the market and that is closer to $70 than it is to $100. the other big problem for saudi arabia is that we have had called inflation. we are looking at nominal prices for oil but the chasing power of a barrel is lowered today. you are importing goods, it is a lot less then five years ago and 10 years ago. though $70 are feeling very much like $50 a few years back.
6:51 am
lisa: we started a conversation talking about the gathering in vienna where certain news outlets are not invited. it seems like there is concern or disagreement with the message that has been getting out there. what does opec-plus not like in terms of messaging? javier: i think they don't like low prices. they like higher prices. they don't like to see numbers of russian production that are much higher than they would like to see and they would like to try to convince the market that everyone is cutting production as much as they are saying. news organizations like bloomberg report things we have -- as we see it and we have not been invited to attend the meeting. i have been covering almost every opec meeting for the last 23 years and it is our first. we will still continue cover it -- covering it.
6:52 am
lisa: we will be in vienna. i am concerned -- and is production of oil, what is the meeting going to be like in terms of the tenseness between russia and saudi arabia? javier: i think everyone will try to put up brave face in vienna this weekend. i believe -- agree that the production cuts are happening and tried to put a spin into the market that things will tighter. if you look at the bounds for the second half of the year, it looks better for opec and even what the actual russian oil and venezuelan oil and more barrels coming from here and from iran, things will look better in the market will tighten into the second half of the year. it is surprising because it is not like a panic situation. my big surprise is it is almost essential panic inside opec when
6:53 am
the market is trading quite healthy and close to $75 a barrel. javier: how much --lisa: how much is the panic about their selling to russia, and stealing some of the business that opec used to rely on? how much is that tension on the plate here that has to do with china and where demand is an wife demand has in him -- in pricing as much as people thought? javier: it is true that russia is selling more oil into china and india than they used to but it is also true for opec countries including saudi arabia. the european market is the new home. russia is not selling in europe so the saudis have captured market share. they are losing market share in asia and read -- and winning berkshire and europe. it is a balancing act.
6:54 am
tom: you are a world expert in all of the investment that goes into it. there are a number of essays under their purview in bloomberg opinion where prices and the motivation to invest in hyper carbons. is the prices -- is the price shattered enough where we will see a dearth of investments in oil? javier: price -- or some investment to be posted -- for some investment to be posed. it is a combination of the price and also a new mentality in the industry that shareholders come first and the industry -- we have seen that on shale. we will see the growth of the
6:55 am
shale industry and it may mean that likes of saudi arabia can produce more oil going into 2025 and onwards. prices have calmed down enough that investment into the industry will start to suffer. jon: you get to decide. re: congratulating sophia or not --? javier: can i pass on that one? jon: i will take a pass too. congratulations. lisa: inserting? jon: two teams that don't play. severe doesn't play attractive football. it is quite defensive. lisa: are you just asking for hate mail? . romaine: lots --jon: lots of them. i can take this risk. tom: i watched the other day for 10 minutes and it is all i could take.

7:01 am
jonathan: there is something in retail. is this a story about macy's or the economy? good morning. this is bloomberg surveillance. i'm alongside tom keene and lisa abramowicz. the outlook from the department store, absolute the stock performance and the price. tom: there has been some enthusiasm. you know what? it is as simple as this. -8% per year over the last 10 years. it has been a midmarket train wreck. jonathan: demands weekend.
7:02 am
macro pressures on the consumer. i assume that gets worse. it is very difficult to get a broad understanding of what is going on with the retailer right now because they are ton consumers is not great. lisa: we heard from nordstrom's and it was better than expected. how much is this also ordering the wrong types of stuff in a pandemic economy. all of these different trends. the bottom line is this. they are seeing something very significant in terms of getting. there has to be this question of, is this on the lower end of discretionary spending? jonathan: this is their full range outlook. they had seen 367 411.
7:03 am
down by about 12% right now. just pulling back from session highs. positive by 0.2%. if you look at the bond market, treasuries higher by a couple of basis points. lisa: we get some economic data. all of this to really get a sense of what the noise is and what the signal is. within the data and in the earnings. we enervate what he said yesterday about a pause, a skip, whatever you want to call it.
7:04 am
this is at the conference. very curious as to what they have to say about the consumer. the idea that macy's downgraded their expectations and sales, they are expecting to be 22.8 billion versus the prior guidance. that, simi valley signals perhaps a very specific trend that we are not seeing in places like nordstrom but signal a softness out there. a higher end of retailer, curious to see what comes from there, but nordstrom shares are up today. this is the confusion. is this an easy story or a broader issue? how much is this really an issue of strategy when the economy is in transition?
7:05 am
jonathan: you take a look, look at the airlines, go to an airport, super busy. lisa: i did not say i had sympathy for the fed, but i understand the difficulty in discerning what the trend is when you have retailers coming out with projections. tom: it speaks to america and the challenges. this is middle america, midmarket america, trying to get these banners up. talk about the profit of retail. nvidia, $.40 on the dollar. those are the profit machines everybody is focused on. you have macy's at $.39 on the
7:06 am
dollar before a lot of other expenses come out. it is almost 68%. this is about mid-america flat on its back. jonathan: we planned year assuming that the consumer would be challenged. demand trends weakened further. that stock is getting hammered. tracy, do you think that is the story about macy's, that it is a story about this economy? >> it is probably both, a story about the bifurcation of the consumer. they have purchasing power in the bottom do not. we are seeing much higher credit card rates. much higher auto loan rates, and that is hurting the bottom and the consumer.
7:07 am
there is this mountain of cash that consumers had on their balance sheet, and that is starting to dwindle now. tom: you are talking about a consumer dwindling away. are they dwindling away into a recession? >> we think so. we think this is a recession postponed, not canceled. as the mountain of cash dwindles , it should decline at an accelerated pace, especially as we see student loan payments starting to resume. there will be more of a fiscal drag and we do not think the fed will come in and rescue markets. we do not think that they will be cutting this year. lisa: what data are you focused on? >> that is very true.
7:08 am
the data is very mixed, and that is not an uncommon turning point in the markets. we are watching may burn market news. labor markets are still very strong but they are starting to slow down. tomorrow payrolls have 235,000 jobs added, but we have seen three months and a row of said 260,000 jobs added. that is the first time since the pandemic that we have seen the payroll slow that much. lisa: the data, it depends on what your bias is. other people say, what are you talking about? we saw a survey that blew all expectations out of the water. you can see help wanted signs and every window in the country. what are you looking at a show this market slowdown?
7:09 am
is everybody looking for it and finding it in places? is that what we should focus on? >> it really looking at the traditional indicators, seeing that they are pointing towards a recession, seeing a fed that is convinced that they need to continue to slow the economy. actually, those jobs numbers and the survey are not in use for the fed. tom: we had deep into the jonathan ferro year. how do you reallocate on a 60-40 strategy? >> fixed income relative to equities and we would be up in quality and both of those groups. we like large caps over small caps. we have moved markets back to
7:10 am
neutral. we short-term and long-term in investment over high-yield. jonathan: is there a bias towards the u.s.? >> there is a bias in that we have overweighted the u.s. market, but we are starting to add money back to european markets, mostly on valuation and that the dollar has probably peaked. we think that the dollar has probably peaked because the u.s. is probably near the end of its typing cycle. we do not think that the euro zone is near the end of its tightening cycle. the japanese economy as well has been performing fairly well at the japanese markets. they have been performing fairly well. they could see --
7:11 am
jonathan: what explains the strengthening? everything you have sent has been true, consistently through the year. >> the dollar does tend to move up once a debt ceiling deal is reached. we think that is behind a lot of it, but in the eurozone, i think there is something there as well , as germany has tipped into recession. jonathan: tracy, thank you. a lot of people come on like tracy and they talk about how they are going to do more than the federal reserve. we still have ground to cover on rates. less about that and more about the potential damage that will be done to the economy from the cumulative tightening already in
7:12 am
the pipeline. this is my view on things and not his, but what you are seeing is that the u.s. economy is denting up to rate hikes better than europe is based on the weaker data we are seeing so far. lisa: it is monetary policy versus economic growth, and i think that has been attention, which has made it confusing to figure out the right direction. tom: we own it, they do not. jonathan: exactly. i can get use on healthy stocks, if you fancy it. up next, we will catch up and washington dc. the debt deal passes the house and is now on to the senate.

emery, i have a bunch of questions. i have to go to margot and the new york times. i love this phrase. agreed-upon adjustments. to get to the election of november 2024, to get to february? agreed-upon adjustments mean that what mccarthy said is a fiction. where is the outcome of this? >> a lot of it has to do with debt ceiling bills. this is what will happen in the spending process, in the appropriation meetings. this is about government spending. obviously, this could be more fudge. when asked about what is happening next, he said, we need to continue this right and make
7:21 am
sure that we are getting rid of wokism and get rid of some of this higher spending we are seeing. this is why many people are poking holes into how much this deal would reduce the budget. i believe in that new york times article that says more like one trillion. what is interesting is how the wall street journal frames and. they said it sounds like a lot but that simply means that the federal debt will rise to around 115% instead of 119%. that is if you assume that the trump era tax cuts are united after 2025. it is a slice of a slice because they are not going after the big parts of spending.

7:24 am
know what he has had to say about the debt ceiling. his comments have changed dramatically. when he was president, he said it was crazy that anybody would use the debt ceiling as leverage. and then he said, it should be used as leverage when i am not president. but that he also said recently that republicans should go up and default to get with they want out of this. his tune has changed a number of times, but talking about what ron desantis is saying, the former president is now touched down in iowa and giving a town hall but sean hannity. i'm sure this question will be asked to get this final idea. jonathan: is it desantis? >> i have a lot of italian

macroeconomics, saying that people are spending less. on nordstrom's side, they delivered at or than expected did earnings. talking about optimism, doing better than previous track records show. all of these retailers are talking about a weaker than expected macroeconomic act drop where people are being more selective with their discretionary spending. is this an issue of who can manage it better versus challenging whether the backdrop truly is weakening? jonathan: they always talk about the backdrop when things are bad. if you have ended up with excess industry and need to do markdowns, that will differ in different places.

7:38 am
pickup, when you look at some banks. those who are not necessarily all that excited about it -- there is a substantial pickup, when you go from deposits, uninsured deposit, specifically come into money market funds, where you have market rates. lisa: how far are we in that transition into money market accounts that pay 5%? we hear about the greatest outflow going back 40 years. >> it happened over a year ago. i do not think it has picked up need in earnest. a peak in rates is the --
7:39 am
reached and then they start to decline. generally speaking, when you look at where money market funds gather, the most amount of assets versus deposit is in a flat to declining rate environment, not in a rising rate environment. what made it different is that we came off of zero. zero was held by the banks while it was not held by markedly. that made a difference. >> at a certain point, if you get an acceleration, a could have a pretty material effect on the broader economy. can we say we are halfway through? is it going to be more significant than what people have expected? do you think it will be gradual until the fed started cutting
7:40 am
the rates more significantly? >> gradual. i do not think anything happens overnight because generally speaking, these are retail accounts. retail is usually sticky and it takes a little more time for processes to occur. i do not think it is a flight syndrome that occurs and destabilizes. it is something that is ultimately gradual and assimilated into what is happening. if money market funds continue to gather cash with the amount of treasury bills ask to be issued in the market, we once a lot of availability for purchasing those bills and cash
7:41 am
flow into government money market funds. that will certainly aid in the process. jonathan: deborah cunningham, thank you. wonderful to hear your contribution. tom, we chide to talk about this essay. investment risk down the road's -- down the road. the risk associated with cash, let's talk about that. the month is up, ok. you get the money back. and then what do you do? think about reinvesting. keep doing that, 5% and 5%. the face the risk of not having the 5% there anymore, and it is very divided at the moment lock in rates for about five years.

that is where he thinks the sweet spot is. the total return of that, if you do get that cycle and rates come in. tom: it is all about total return. a grizzled veteran, eclipsed the coupon and he is adamant that you will see it begin to get back those bond losses. lisa: i'm just curious as to whether it is going down. jonathan: there is a huge debate about this. getting out of cash is a much different decision, especially when you see these in the nasdaq. chuck on acs earnings, coming up. >> keeping you up-to-date with

8:07 am
market, tech, ai related tech names that are strong. you are emphasizing the difference between the nasdaq, the s&p, and the people waited rick -- equal weighted s&p. and we have the widest margins we have ever seen. at some point they have to come back together. we do not want to sit on the sidelines and have a narrow breadth in our portfolios. we want to have diversification. do not throw in the towel, but find element that you think can do well in a volatile market. in an economy we think will slow at the end of this year and supported somewhat by a can rumor. manufacturing coming down but sam -- savings rate discretionary income holding strong. there are those you will can work with but you have to be choosy. lisa: what it we learn in the
8:08 am
first few months of 20 23? victoria: that is a loaded question. we have the equity market that is not reacting the way they have historically. you have is going to the brink again on the debt ceiling. that is probably like we have seen before. pushing it to the limit and causing the market to react the way that it has. pushing up short-term yield to 5.2 5% or 5.5%. driving people into the short-term treasury market out of the equity market. this is different this year because we walked into an economy with a different manner with the pandemic then we have for supporting the consumer. i believe we have learned that you have to be cautious. you have to be tactical in this market, but i also think we learned you do not want to jump in and out all the time. use your fundamental analysis to build strong portfolios.
8:09 am
lisa: where do you fall on the debate whether inflation will rapidly decelerate headed to the end of the year or it is sticky? this has been the core disagreement among jp morgan of the world and blackrock of the world. where do you fit in this? lisa: i'm leaning toward we will have sticky inflation. we are on a downward trajectory possibly, but we have core cpi numbers holding steady or moving up for the last few months. we have the sticky component and it will not just be housing. although you look at zillow rent those are up over the last month area housing is rebounding. michelle bowman said the rising and housing cost is working against on what they are doing on working against inflation. it will be a sticky number. it will come down slowly. i don't think it will be enough for the fed. i cannot say there is a zero probability that you can get
8:10 am
more rate hikes from the fed. tom: tell me about 60/40 right now. i've been looking at the numbers beginning to chew on it. i don't get it. are you overweight equities or high-end bonds? victoria: the 60/40 was the go to for everyone. you have to be more tactical than that now. the breadth in the market being so narrow, it is hard to have a 60% allocation and have it outperform without having high concentration and the names which is not something we want to do. we think it should be -- you should be adding bond allocations. we had a client call us last week saying there was another $2 million and we want the short-term treasuries to take advantage of the yield. you have to be careful with reinvestment risk when you put all your eggs in that basket. but put a little heavy weight the short end, have some on the
8:11 am

when you look at the micro trade and specific names. stock selection, you are seeing different stories pop up. maybe that is a lot more fun than it has been when the fed is like we will tell you to buy and everyone goes out to buy. our they say sell and it never happens. jonathan: having a great time. beating up consensus positions. that is what you love. this move in the euro in the last month -- tom: we have sting england here in 30 minutes. jonathan: have it close to 105 or 106 with -- 1.06 on the euro. and from new york, this is bloomberg. >> now keeping you up-to-date with news from around the world. here is the first word. i'm lisa mateo.

8:15 am
but i am in a camp increasingly coming into this meeting of thinking that we really should skip, not pause, i do not like the word pause, but skip and in -- an increase. jonathan: philadelphia -- harker president. i don't like the word pause but we can skip and increase. i don't think it is therefore -- their fault but the market pause may be the next step toward cutting. that is something the fed reserve does not want to communicate. they wanted to lean against this and get it priced out. lisa: if i had said that you would say you are getting soft. jonathan: i have said it before. lisa: what is the difference honestly. any tricky spot with the market that is going to be counterproductive. an economy is uncertain. jonathan: for many reasons we
8:16 am
can talk about the reasons later but there's some data on it. with mike mckee. mike: this will lean against patrick harker yesterday. adp comes in at 278,000 jobs for the month of may. that is higher than the 170 that analyst asked acted. the april number revised down to 291,000 from 296. that is neither here nor there. we do not look at adp as a predictor for the jobs report friday. in this case, they have been coming in lower for the most part. the nonfarm payrolls number. this is something to keep an eye on here. we were wondering how strong the economy is. jonathan: jobless claims coming out in 14 minutes. don't you feel sorry for them at the fed reserve. the yield is up right now.
8:17 am
how should we read claims here in a minute. with the disruptions to the data of the last few months? mike: basically what you have to do is look at the trend as opposed to the number. the numbers have bounced around a bit. we should be seeing a rise in claims if the economy and labor market are slowing down. we cannot say that we have seen them yet. if you get the same kind of numbers we have been getting, it looks like the labor market will be really strong. still going into the fed meeting june 14. jonathan: claims will be 13 minutes away. tom: i looked at the 14 day moving average but the fraud hangs over it. the data is a fully employed america. to discuss that is bill dudley. former bloomberg opinion,

8:19 am
university's uses his economics to say we can use this to avoid a recession. do you agree? l: it will be hard to avoid a recession if the fed has pushed the bar up ia meaningful amount -- by a meaningful amount. every time it has risen by one percentage point since world war ii. when we have a recession. 12 out of 12 so i'm betting against a soft landing this time as well. lisa: the implication that the fed has not accomplished much and they should go further with hiking rates or skipping a pause, that perhaps that is not the right approach. what is the consequence to that? you expect this to accelerate inflation our -- or keep it higher for longer? bill: it does not matter if they hike verse -- in june versus
8:20 am
july. but they are using the language of skip rather than pause. they don't want the markets to think that they are finished because they did not want the stock market to rally. if that were to happen, that would mean impulsive monetary policy would be more stimulative which would be counterproductive to what they are trying to do. lisa: the data is confusing. when you look at earnings and macroeconomic input, what are you looking at to highlight that there is strength and the lag effects will not take care of it? bill: i think the labor market is the key thing to focus on. what is happening with the tightness of the labor market and over yesterday that showed and in is in number of unfilled jobs. we have one point eight unfilled jobs for everyone under laid worker area -- every one unemployed worker.
8:21 am
and i think wage inflation needs to be 3% not 4% or higher. so i think labor market wages will be key drivers of the fed feeling more comfortable they are on track. lisa: people say we are seeing disinflation and it may happen more rapidly headed to year end. from your vantage point, the longer it takes does it create stickiness that people are under appreciating or is it that they need to get back to their goal. it to remove the tax from lower income individuals in particular. bill: a i think it will be a drawn out process. i think they are not concerned about how long it takes as long goes inflation expectations stay. inflation expectations could be on a curd -- unanchored and i
8:22 am
can make the fed job more difficult. tom: we are not thinking too hard today, i don't need multiple decimal points, but i am curious of your math on a slower china and exporting disinflation or deflation. we've seen this over the years as a theme. will they adjust our lives as they are exporting price decline? bill: i think what will happen is we will see at the end of the day they want to have growth. growth generates jobs and jobs create political stability in china. so i think we will see more stimulus out of china. we are already having goods disinflation. the problem with the u.s. in the services sector. china may add a little bit to that but i do not think it is meaningful in terms of changing the inflation outlook. tom: do you need more data
8:23 am
points for inflation services? bill: we will see declines in shelter prices as measured by the person of consumption. we knew that would happen with a lag in the lag is about to arrive. but the problem is that it is indicated in services inflation it includes shelter. as we see in the course -- core pce deflator's, we are stuck in the challenge of four 8%. it is not calling, it is -- it is not calling, it is basically flat. -- it is not falling , it is basically flat. tom: i think that is what we call stickiness. jonathan: for those are on vacation, the euro is at 1.06. the dollar is stronger with the euro weaker on the back of this robust data. the yield is higher by three
8:24 am
basis points on the front in the. 4.44. -- points on the front at 4.44. lisa: that may create more pressure for the fed. do you think it is a foregone conclusion that regardless of what the data is or the jobs report, they will not hike rates this month? there trying to signal, they are not done, but they are not data-dependent for this meeting? bill: i think the data would have to be strong to convince them to move at the june meeting. with monetary policy, the belief should not be influenced by the strength of labor. i would be surprised at this point that they would go ahead and do that in the june meeting.
8:25 am
but july seems likely. jonathan: it felt like a rallying cry from the presumed fed chair. bill, thank you. bill dudley bloomberg opinion columnists. the most -- data dependence the most meaningless phrase in the fed reserve. lisa: they got thrown out. jonathan: it means whatever they wanted to mean. lisa: which data? the date of the next month? how much data will you have in your input? jonathan: how data dependent are they? mike: they are data-dependent they are more hawkish in terms of a june rate move. i think part of what may be going on as they wanted to knock down the perception that they were locked into a rate increase. because if they didn't, the data came, they would not be able to tell us what they think of cpi if the data came in softer.

8:31 am
we see nonfarm productivity down 2.1% but had initially been reported as 2.7% negative. a slight improvement there and unit labor costs initially reported at 6.3% comes in at 4.2% so that is a big change. it'll be interesting to go under the hood and see why they changed. jobless claims is the number everybody has been following. we talk about the trend, 232 for the last week. the week prior was revised up to 230 so almost no change in claims and it doesn't look like the labor market is getting any weaker. we've had three numbers, the jolts numbers, the adp numbers and the claims numbers strong. if you were a betting person, the ism employment number comes

out at 10 comey would probably be marking up your payrolls estimate. the private payrolls estimate right now is 164. with adp coming in at 278, that's more than 100,000 different so someone will be really wrong. tom: have you ever seen it like this where it's coming out of a pandemic in the biden stimulus and all the rest, have you ever seen the cacophony sense of it? mike: we haven't seen the fed give up -- cacophony that we have now. the divisions among fed officials for quite some time, the data are in all different places. the fed is in all different places. as economists and monetary policymakers, you think of
8:33 am
what's happening after the financial crisis when everybody kept expecting strength and it was slow. now we are expecting slow because that's what the models are suggesting and it hasn't happened yet. tom: we will continue to do market check today in the 10 year real yield comes in quiets scent. lisa: you so jobless claims coming in lower than expected but pretty much in line but showing its slower but that's not what the market is responding to. it's responding to the revision of the unit labor costs are yields are significantly lower even though on the margins, this points will labor market that would be strong and signifies the bias to a fed on hold on a fed that doesn't want to go further that seems to be was getting price into the market. mike: this is also first-quarter
8:34 am
data so we are now two months into the second quarter so it's old numbers. it still makes the case that maybe inflation could come down. lisa: that seems to be what people are banking on. that's where the bias is. what is your view on the incredible revisions, the degree to which the data was wrong and has to get revised in another direction? has this been seen before? mike: we get revisions because the data is incomplete when they're first published but we are seeing big revisions because of the various statistical agencies are having trouble with seasonal adjustments out of the pandemic. tom: the distortions are still there. we will go beneath the headline data in the early june jobs report tomorrow. the chief economist at

nationwide mutual insurance joins us now with the some of this strange economy. we've got retail like macy's today in a statement flat on its back and we got other parts of the economy doing better than good. do you aggregated together or are you looking at two or three or five america's? >> good morning. i think you hit the nail on the head. we have to bifurcate and differentiate among different consumer buckets. you got the upper middle income, upper income households, the labor market is strong and earnings are strong in the labor market is doing well and housing prices are holding in there and still a lot of pent-up demand on services. let's not forget savings. there is a related savings that were fueled during the pandemic
8:36 am
so it's still feeling pretty strong. you will see the impact from inflation and interest rates and the bottom half of consumers are feeling the pressure here. lisa: does this add to an economy that slowing substantially where the lag affects will take hold or one that people are missing the forest for the trees, stronger than what people are anticipating? >> it's been difficult to call. the path of the economy is tiny but we are in the camp that it's delayed but still coming. we look at the leading economic indicators and they are still pointing to a recession. stronger consumer spending and the labor market remains for now. the fed will be inclined to
8:37 am
raise rates and eventually the fed will be successful. they got to cool down the labor market and consumer spending and cool down inflation so it may take longer than they would like. lisa: yesterday, it was a different tone for philip jefferson of the federal reserve. they basically signaled a willingness to skip this next meeting and not raise rates and wait for the leg affects. is that the right approach that if they stay on hold, this is where rates should peak and you will see that slow down that will eventually bring inflation a lot lower? >> our baseline is that they do pause and hold it there. the risk is even if they skip the june meeting, they could come back in july and raise rates. they are assessing things. underneath all of that getting
8:38 am
beyond data dependence, we can debate whether they truly are data dependent but it's clear they have a tightening bias. doesn't mean they will necessarily tighten they will tighten before they cut rates. tom: adp published today in our economics team has a huge observation that wage growth is slowing. substantially. do you agree with that? is wage growth really coming down and even with lower inflation it will be problematic in terms of real wage growth? >> we see it more gradual. we will see what the data brings us tomorrow but all of the signs we are seeing is that the labor market is still pretty tight and demand for workers especially certain sectors that are strong so i think it's a gradual
8:39 am
process area same thing with inflation. the pressures are still there for workers. the supply is not really come in line with demand at this point. it will just take a while for that to play through. looking at the productivity numbers and labor costs, not the idea that maybe we are seeing wage growth competition come down and those were the figures that were provided lower. tom: columbus, ohio, unemployment rate, 3.40%. how can you talk of cutting rates given that single statistic? i just get it. lisa: this is the issue especially if there is 16 states where the unemployment rate is a lot higher. that divergence is something bluebird intelligence picked up on yesterday were the wanted to 16 states that have already
8:40 am
basically entered recession with material increases in their unemployment rates. how does that complicate the whole dynamic when you have such a bifurcated picture with some people experiencing a recession in a tangible way now? >> it is very difficult. the post covid economy just has skewed differences across sectors and the economy rapidly. it makes it difficult for the fed to make a good call. the service sector is very buoyant. that's what they are stuck with. tom: adjust your nonfarm payroll statistic for tomorrow off of adp claims. will you lift that up? >> we don't do that.
8:41 am
it hasn't been a great correlation. we are above consensus for what that is worth. certainly, we could have had a lower number but economists have been missing on the downside. we are comfortable with about 200,000 we think things are slowing but we are not seeing recession in the labor market yet. tom: well we didn't really make news but sort of kind of like news. lisa: tom: michael mckee makes news. down in flames. thank you for the non-news. she's got a great handle on the dynamics. we have our own bias in new york and outrageous real estate costs here. it's healthy to go to the internet and look at the unemployment rate of wichita for

i want you to tell me how your xl spreadsheet adjust to china slow down and the information of cross rates, what is the china slow down signal? >> i think it's an important issue. the chinese slowdown and the slowdown in europe have removed some of the impetus near-term for dollar weakness. even though we tend to focus on what the fed is doing and the u.s. economy is doing, for there to be broad dollar weakness, we need economic outperformance and the rest of the world. in some ways, the bigger shock of the last month is how soft the data outside the u.s. has been in addition to the u.s. numbers being ambiguous. i think to get to real dollar weakness, it's not enough for the fed to pause for the u.s. data to be soft enough there are no further hikes.
