5:02 am
that developing situation in the suez we will get to that in a moment. friday was one of the more unusual days in a long time because of what we know how you was the four selling of archego crushing the chinese and internet trading stocks. more on that in a moment futures are down dow down 182 nasdaq down 83. we need to look at oil the situation in the suez. oil is ticking down a bit. still remaining over $60 a share. and engineers have partially freed the "ever given" container ship blocking the suez canal since last tuesday tugboats and support vessels are on the scene to straighten the ship's course. efforts will resume at 5:30 a.m. our time when the tide is
5:03 am
expected to rise to the maximum height again, the ship is not free, but it is partially floated. important to note that experts are saying even once the ship is back on route, it will take time to ease traffic that has been building on both sides of the canal for the past six days. when tankers arrive at destination, ports will face further congestion from the ships all arriving at once will which take more time to clear. with we will have more on the story and more on oil coming up. the good news is the ship partially floated. partially free now to another developing story. this one being felt on trading floors and maybe in your investment accounts across the world. what happened on friday could continue to bleed through to today. it has to do with a relatively known hedge fund called archego management it is multibillion family office

of trader bill wong announced huge positions in media stocks and baidu and others now on friday, some positions moved against him. likely caused by concern over new s.e.c. rules over chinese internet companies with that came huge margin calls. that forced him to dump massive blocks of stock to raise cash. he may have been forced to sell as much as $20 billion worth of stock. here is how it broke down according to reports and sources. morgan stanley traded $13 billion in archegos stock. goldman? $6.5 billion 3$3.9 billion in viacom dumped y other firms in fire sale trade
5:05 am
that forced selling led to the biggest one-day drop for viacom and discovery. down 27% it hit bigger parts of the market like the k-web etf it is not known if this forced selling is over. if all of the margin calls have been met or if archegos is forced to shutdown calls to the firm were not returned if more cash needs to be raised, we could see more selling. this is a big story and it is getting a lot of attention this could be one of, if not the biggest single hedge fund margin call, of all time. or at least in many years. the ripple impact from friday felt in early trading this morning. according to reports, nomura is warning of a late significant potential loss from an unnamed u.s. client is indeed related to
5:06 am
archegos the claim against the client was $2 billion they owe much of the credit risk on the trade those shares are down 16% in japanese trading credit suisse also says first quarter results could suffer a material impact after the banks started exiting positions after archegos defaulted on margin calls. nomura and credit suisse is not mentions archegos by name. we can confirm that is thefirm they are referring to as well. credit suisse down 13.5% as well more to come on this story let's talk about that and the broader markets in general joining us now is capital management ceo howard vance. howard, good morning it is a narrow pocket of the market with broad implications kind of like the "ever given"

container ship in a certain way. are you taking advantage of the weakness that it may have caused >> well, first off, good morning, brian how are you? what a wake-up call? i'm glad i'm sitting here in texas today and not worrying about a margin call. our proprietary indication is any pull back is a buying opportunity. we'll pick up shirares if they have to liquidate at pennies on the dollar >> these things come out of left field and you wonder why we're down and you find it is one thing. listen, if it is archegos, then it is a narrow situation take a couple of days to cycle through. on the macro level, howard, what are your bingger, or long lastin concerns, about the market which slowly, but surely, hits new
5:08 am
highs? >> like i said, our buy line is positive any pull back say buying opportunity. our concern is taxation over regulation that could hinder the economy and hinder the market. that is what we watching closely. we have seen tech pull back 10%. energy pull back 10% small caps pull back 10% you are seeing a rotation of corrections. everybody did so well last year other than value taxes which is having its day that is interesting to watch also >> yeah. so, in this market environment, where you have the rotation we have seen from growth to so-called value. you have interest rates that have ticked up rapidly, although off record lows. concerns about inflation hopefully coming out of the pandemic, howard what types of investments and opportunities are you and your team seeing right now? where should we put your money >> it is the obvious trade
5:09 am
tesla has been off the high. you know down to $670. when you look at tesla, if you have to ask yourself where is it 12 months out, that's a great trade. if you look at the value stocks, they are nice. visa and mastercard. you can look at one or the other. you know, my wife and i have been out to eat thursday i'm in texas, brian. we go to a mid level mexican restaurant and it was packed it was a 40-minute wait. the obvious trade was everybody there is plaaying with a visa or mastercard this is a nice trade out of the pandemic everybody from carnival cruise lines to theaters. texas is wide open new york and california, they are a big economy. they start to open up, a big ben effi

good news from the suez to
5:15 am
report right now suez canal authority says the massive container ship "ever given" blocking the canal for nearly a week has been partially refloated. it has been pulled ashore. chairman the suez canal authority says at least 369 vessels are now stuck waiting to get through the canal, including dozens of container ships and bulk carriers of oil and gas trans ports. let's talk about how this impacts the markets with clay segal. nobody better to talk to about the situation. clay, all of our guests today are from texas we would not drag you out of bed so early if it wasn't a big deal ship partially moved off the shore. it is headed in the right direction. what headaches are still to come
5:16 am
even once that ship gets freed >> good morning, brian thanks for having me actually the count is still going up we are counting 96 oil and gas tankers stuck waiting. that is up from five overnight it is a combination of 40 crude and fuel oil tankers. 34 clean tankers and 23 gas carriers in the mix. although the news is good on a preliminary basis, it is still accumulating this morning. >> while a viewer that is not familiar with that, it doesn't sound like that much we are talking about tens of millions of barrels of oil that are not getting to where they need to go that means refiners having to buy on the spot market there is a ripple impact >> for sure. and every day this blockage continues, that ripple effect is libel to proliferate around the
5:17 am
world and affect oil flows not in the area of the suez canal. right now, we think the immediate effect is for oil than crude. you have products that are important for eastern markets. you have diesel fuels. you have special which is natural gas liquid from shale and oil and gas. that goes through india which has an impact on the suez canal. it will start to proliferate to sellers and buyers around the world. >> clay, you and i have talked offline the last couple days and i have spoken to others. i'm actually a little surprised that it hasn't moved prices more and i think that is a reflection of the oil market is changing. if this is occurred eight years ago, impact would have been much
5:18 am
broader. u.s. oil situation sort of semi independent. shift from west to east. this altered the oil markets that is muted the impact, has it not? >> i think that's right. structure reasons and tactical reasons why oil prices and crude prices have not moved more on the disruption on a pure basis, less than 2% of crude moves through the suez canal. the biggest from the persian gulf is in asia. that is not involved the crude oil from the persian gulf and west with, they go the long way around africa on a good day with no blockage the crude oil is middle east to europe european demand is still low with the pandemic. you have supply offsets like russia that is a substitute that is
5:19 am
running slow libya is back with light crude oil that can supply europe temporarily. >> clay, we have to go we also have an opec plus meeting on thursday which adds a little drama to the always interesting global oil and gas mix. clay siegle, thank you very much >> thanks, brian all right. still on deck. the path forward the ceo of the philadelphia art museum will join us with the firsthand account of coming out of this. how they managed through two lockdowns and getting you back in and how the museum model has changed.
5:20 am
the world around you may seem like an immovable, implacable place. it is not. it can be bright. quiet. and safe. it's a change that will be felt from this street. to this street. to no street. and everywhere in between. all it takes is the slightest push in just the right place and that will be the tipping point that changes everything. gohealth has blossomed from an idea in a chicago apartment

5:24 am
could come out on and around the weekends we limited our days to friday through monday that change has been successful. it is a short-term change obviously. we altered hours to meet the demands of the public and when they can come to see us. we have seen great attendance over the weekend at this point, capacity is still limited by order of the mayor and the governor we are following the guidelines. so far, so good. as i said before, the numbers are increasing >> you are not going to like this, timothy, you are a member of the arts. it is true, you are a business you have expenses and you have many employees you are the arts, but you also have a balance sheet how are the financials how has the pandemic rocked and made you reevaluate how you operate? >> no surprise it has been one of the most challenging years in the history

of the museum with the finances. your listeners need to understand our budget is composed of many revenue ext streams. one-third is ticket sales and members shopping in the stores when the pandemic began, all those revenue streams went to zero we had to cut our budget we had to mind expenses carefully. we had to go into hibernation. we will not be there always. >> you do a fantastic job. one of the world's leading museums of any kind. timothy, before we let you go, are you buying nfts? what is your take on the latest trend or craze or maybe the future
5:26 am
i don't want to call it a craze. that implies it will end what is your take on the art world right now? >> you are seeing vast changes we don't have any nfts yet we don't have a cryptocurrency account. i can't say we're in that business i will say we follow obviously the artist and what they hemake we have been collecting digital video for many years now when we present exhibitions, we are working in the digital realm and the like it is inevitable just as print making did in the 15th century and photography in the 19th century we will look at those and follow their lead if we collect them, we will esse even eventually it is the way of the future. >> there's been big dollars and big numbers certainly around it. look forward to getting back to

5:32 am
don't worry. it is early. here's what you need to know at the center of that fire sale were two huge companies here discovery networks and viacom cbs. they were huge winners since the start of the year. on friday, they saw some of the worst single day sessions ever because they were dumped en masse by archegos and the proprietary trading partner like goldman, morgan stanley and others good news for those shareholders stocks have seemed to stabilize a bit. both of the names fell 27% on friday we will get more on archegos and the margin call and the ripple effect with leslie picker in a few minutes. and then futures are down. it plays into this with upwards
5:33 am
of $20 billion being shopped around by goldman and morgan and others forced selling on friday will impact the macro markets you obviously have rate concerns as well as we have been hitting new highs a lot. markets will tick down naturally. dow futures off 170 right now. we will have more on the markets and your money in a bit. let's pivot to the story that matters more. the daily update on the vaccine rollout and the facts and where we stand right now here is good news. it was a huge weekend on the vaccination front. in fact, it was our biggest weekend yet as a nation. in all, more than 6.5 million doses were given out on saturday and sunday with that boom, almost half of all american adults over the age of 65 are fully vaccinated with both shots wow! that is not all.
5:34 am
36% of americans over the ages of 18 have had at least one shot as well. it is likely why as cases have ticked up in some states and get all of the headlines, but the number of people hospitalized in america is still down in last two weeks and down 70% from the highs of january remember, cases get the attention. hospitalizations and outcomes matter a lot more. let's continue this conversation about this as well as the lingering concerns about vaccination and the evolved strains and wealcome back the president and ceo of the hospital in new jersey which fully vaccinated 11,000 individuals in just 100 days doctor, great to have you back on we are pleased to hear those stats. please help us clear up some
5:35 am
things i'll not knock my industry, the media. cases get all of the attention cases are surging in michigan and parts of new jersey. i want to ask you, have you had anybody, any patient, even one, who after full vaccination has been re-hospitalized for covid >> we have not these vaccines are very effective. they are 100% effective in preventing hospitalization and death. we were on the call with the state on friday communicating two concerns number one, in new jersey, we are starting to see an increase in hospitalizations. in fact, we had a significant 20% to 30% increase over the last week or so. my hospital in the new york metro area the second is we are seeing a younger demographic admitted that could make expesense from e
5:36 am
standpoint of those not being vacc vaccinated 50 to 59-year-olds or 40 to 49-year-olds that could lead to more variants there are some things to be concerned about. >> college students have come back in person we are seeing and you would agree, doctor, this is not a political statement. kind of a burnout. a slight reopening and people are getting back out there we are seeing a bit of a spread. answer us this do you believe as the data seems to indicate that the vaccines are, if not as effective, almost as effective against not only the new strains, but new strain to come? that is what all viruses throughout wrhistory have done? >> all vaccines are likely effective against the known variants we have a lower effectiveness
5:37 am
noted in some studies. all this does is re ally does is accelerate the vaccination you are right to say that all of this does is make us accelerate the vaccination. as you mentioned, we did so this weekend. we will continue to do so. >> and how do we still counter vaccine hesitancy? we are seeing this in parts of rural america and in parts of your base of people, doctor. more urban obviously we understand the african-american community, rightfully ly so, given histor reluctance how do we encounter the hesi hesitancy? are you seeing any give? people on the fence saying i wasn't sure, but all right go ahead and give me the shot, doctor >> you are right to call that out. so we only have about 5% of
5:38 am
people in the city of newark fully vaccinated compare that to 15% to 20% nationally for the general population we serve a majority of minority community here you are right to call out hesitancy in communities of color and urban communities. the good news is the kaiser family foundation shows low rates of hesitancy i will never take this vaccine from communities of color. it is more i want to wait and see. there is a lot of opportunity. >> i think that's it, doctor by the way, i'm sure you and i, we know people like this you go first let me see how you do. oh, you're not growing a third arm? you are not in bed with fever. once they see friends and family take the shot, be fine, it is opening it up, is it not >> absolutely. it is all about the approaching
