welcome back to "worldwide exchange." bipartisan infrastructure talks hitting a road block lawmakers are divided on over how to fund the $1 trillion plan the negotiations is a key event
5:20 am
for washington this week also on the list is fed chairman jay powell to testify on capitol hill lots going here. for more, i'm joined by jimmy, the policy analyst at the american institute jimmy, thank you for being here. i don't know where to start. i don't think washington knows where to start infrastructure is a logical place with the $1 trillion price tag. yesterday, lindsey graham saying to the president, we can meet on a $1 trillion deal why not get that done and take it from there? >> although everyone agrees we have a problem, nothing has been passed up to this point. the white house has initially set expectations for something bigger that's a problem
5:21 am
democrats in congress are worried if they vote for the infrastructure plan, it will be harder to get votes for another plan that takes care of the other president's priorities after it of course, republicans are worried that if they do vote for this plan, there will be the second plan with health care priorities and other things. all of these agendas operating against each other frankly, at this point, there are not votes for any one plan will i be shocked if nothing happens? the chances of that happening rant zero. >> i have to say lindsey graham saying he is able to necessity dp negotiate with the president and meet him halfway why can't they come together with common ground and go forward with that? the economy could use the boost.
5:22 am
>> republicans have moved a lot to the $1 trillion bill. i think when the process started, there were huge expectations that the president set and some democrats and progressives said there is a bigger plan. instead of getting their head around it, that may not happen they may have to pass the second plan in reconciliation they wanted to do a mega reconciliation plan. the longer this process goes on and now one bill and a second and then a reconciliation bill adds complexity to the odds of nothing happening. >> bernie sanders coming out against electric vehicle fees and gas tax fees let's turn attention to jay powell heading to the hill what could he say that is
5:23 am
different over what he said last week or give the markets confidence futures are up today, but last week seeing the worst week since october. >> i wonder if the point now is not just repetition. the market does not need to hear more new information they will sort of take it and absorb what has happened and move on from there listen, they don't want to perceive the risks of hikes are greater. they are absorbing that information and a steady as she goes attitude is fantastic for markets right now. >> i know you say it is about repetition if jay powell continues to say the same things, wouldn't we expect to see the same from the markets? >> sometimes the market is going to incorporate the information it is a giant calculation machine of data. the question is now is this
5:24 am
absorbed or is that process still continuincontinuing >> jimmy, we have to talk about the anti-trust bills how do you see that playing out for big tech and will it impact the big tech we have seen the s.e.c. investigate social media companies. fines paid and scrutiny, but no big changes to the platforms >> just changing the law that you would break up one company or create a situation where they could not buy another company. those are significant changes. i would not expect the first changes to be breakups and forcing big tech to divest anything it is more far lessdramatic like increasing the funding for the s.e.c. to make that case in
5:25 am
a more meaningful and significant way about these companies. to go from where we are, especially when you have the china case out there, where big tech said we are your national champions against china. to go from the current situation to the more extreme bills which will force difficulvestitures >> jimmy p., big week down in washington we appreciate the insight. thank you. still on deck, retail in focus. former industry insider arthur martinez breaks down sales for target annd walmart and amazon's prime day. if you missed "worldwide

the foo fighters bringing one of the most famous arenas back to life madison square gander garden this year. turning to the consumer now in a big week shaping up for retail today is the first day of amazon prime day 2021 as usual, target and walmart hosting their own events the huge events are not without the wall of worry. rising prices and fragile supply chains and uncertain state of the consumer all front and center this morning. let's talk about this with a long time retail insider former chairman and ceo arthur martinez ar arthur, former saks fifth avenue
5:33 am
chairman and abercrombie chairman we don't have time to get into all of them. thanks for being here. >> great to be here. >> let's start with prime day. the latest has been building as the supply chain is declining. do people care about late packages >> i think consumers care about the frenzy i am confident, frank, that amazon is prepared for the event. last year, i think the reports were they did something like $10.4 billion of revenue on the prime day event. of course, over two days this year, with consumers more adept at ordering online, i
5:34 am
think the kconsumer is ready to act. i would not be surprised to see a 25% increase of revenue. >> it is not a shock to see any of retailers with an increase in sales. i talked to a trucker and this will kickoff the basically the holiday peak six months before the holidays start as we go into back to school and summer produce season and black friday. will retailers see a big boost right now, but higher increase in cost that accelerates throughout the year? >> two things will happen. demand will be pulled forward into the proper motional days. i expect to see modest result from the revenue perspective
5:35 am
from the cost side, the pressure is on. wage rates under pressure. the labor force is not where it needs to be to force the extent of economic activity in place right now. costs are going to be up prices are also going up for sure as supply chains have been disrupted and scarcity drives demand one source of pressure and one source of accelerated gratification. >> let's talk about immediate gratification. you can get that when you go to the store and swipe your card and pick up your item at the store when it is available do you see people going back to the malls when we normalize and have the spector of the delta variant? >> i think the malls will continue to be under tremendous pressure the statistics on the two-year basis and you have to look at mall traffic over two years and
5:36 am
not compare to the quarter last year when we were in lockdown. if you look at mall traffic, it is down 50%. 5-0 percent. although things have opened up in the country, consumers are still reluctant because they learned how to transact with the brands online. i say the malls are continuing to be under pressure one issue is washington prime, the old simon malls. 100 shopping centers went bankrupt in the last couple weeks. that is foreshadowing a very significant contraction in the amount of mall retail space in america. one firm predicts 20% reduction in retail mall space by 2025 >> arthur, before we let you go. you mentioned the demand being pulled forward in retailers and other companies bringing more inventory over early right now, we are seeing record
5:37 am
high trucking rates and con container rates. what is the impact with consumers with back to school shopping higher prices or longer delivery times? what do you forecast >> i forecast that retailers, particularly the apparel side for back to school with delayed investment apparel receipts landed in the country are down thus far in the second quarter retailers, i think, are both reflecting the challenges of the supply chain and playing it close to vest because of uncertainty for the second half of the year because of demand. >> arthur martinez, thank you. i hope to get a hook up on be an be abercrombie jeans.

5:42 am
what does it do for the sport? >> it introduces jon rahm. if he isn't already a golf star, he is one right now. the thing about jon rahm in how his career developed and the mi microcosm has been with the career has been remarkable at memorial tournament, he had received the covid shot and it wasn't within 14 days. he was leading going into the final round and he ended up testing positive and had to withdraw this seemed fate denied him the victory. when he had the chance to address the media, he did not blame the media. he said this is the way things go with the global pandemic. i'll do the right thing. i'll take care of myself and family and keep everybody safe it was a remarkably gracious way
5:43 am
to handle it when you talk about jon rahm as a person when jon came to the united states to play for golf for one tim mickelson. he is the brother of phil. there was a connection with mickelsons he learned english by listening to rap music one rap early in the jon rahm days is he had a volatile t temper that is something he has such great control over when he made that birdie putt at 17 and birdie putt at 18, he still possesses the great passion and emotion. it is amazing. it doesn't allow the anger. >> there we go here is what else he possesses due to a sponsor change. callaway club. let's talk about the sport of golf and callaway.
5:44 am
up 33% on the year the pandemic has been good for golf what does it mean for jon rahm to win p a major with the sponsr >> it is good for everybody. all boats will rise on the rising tide. callaway will benefit from a marquee player like jon rahm he has 51 top ten starts on the pga tour eight top tens as a major. he has instant credibility you may not know what product callaway he is playing, but you may know it is a chrome soft it is all callaway from stem-to-stern. with jon rahm, when you win a major championship, the number put on that is $100 million in terms of value from sponsors and
5:45 am
appearance fees, et cetera he is a young guy. over the course of his career and this is presumably just the start given his strong performance. i think it is going to be worth a lot more this has a big reverberation >> matt adams, thank you for waking up early. the u.s. open was not the only big event on the calendar this weekend you had two game sevens in the nba. bucks beating the nets hard to believe that on saturday then i don't know why the producer does this atlanta hawks coming from behind in the fourth to take down my philadelphia 76ers they were my 76ers phoenix suns won and stanley cup finals a lot of action to watch on
5:46 am
television and person and to bet on let's talk about this with patrick reich at washington university in st. louis. patrick, thank you for being here. >> thanks, frank >> i have to start with something personal the impact of the number one seed 76ers losing to the lowly hawks. what did that do to the betting lines and vegas? >> my sense is someone lost a bit of money i don't know what to say anything look, the game is real it impacted the sports industry in many ways i know a lot of teams are creating and building sports books in arenas because it boosts fan engagement. the technology advancements that occurred because of the increases in game of sports is
5:47 am
credit all of these things and lastly, i'll throw in media production more states are now legalizing sports and what we are seeing is that more media companies are having shows on gambling and incorporating gambling into the telecast >> you have to correct me. patrick rische rhymes with fish >> because of the emotional turmoil this morning, i'll let it slide. >> i'm a mess. stop me when you can i have noticed about the gamification on the telecast when we talk about technology and gaming and gambling on pro sports, we saw people to have a va avatar on screens
5:48 am
what is the next step in sports? >> mobile gaming is where it is right now. the one area of gaming that has already grown and soon to be the majority of most bets made is in-game betting. if we ever placed an a bet, youe before the game. on the over/under. now with in-game betting, with the advancements with access to data on the fly and companies can change on the fly and you are betting in the game with mobile that is really going to boost engagement frank, one last thing. let me tell you why engagement is important even before the pandemic across the leagues go down. the at-home viewing experience is so good nfl sundays, i'm watching red zone i'm not going to the games
5:49 am
we try to bring people back to the arenas and get them engaged that helps with the corporate partnerships that is why the tvs talk about the gambling deals on air. >> patrick, you may have your talking points from our pr producer he said he gambles on the games because it is more interesting i don't gamble patrick, thank you for the insight and gambling advice thank you for being here. >> thank you, frank. on deck, stocks looking for a fresh start. credit suisse lays out what to look for ahead and june is pride month. we spotlight our colleagues and friends. here is justin nelson. >> as an lgbt american that grew

welcome back stocks looking to shake off the fed rate hike worries with futures in the green the next guest says the walk up could prove beneficial for the markets. joining me now is credit su suisse's patrick belfrey >> i think what investors are
5:53 am
typically anxious about is any change in the an caccommodative policy what we see over the past four rate hike cycles is stocks do very well heading into the first rate headache. they increase around 9.5% in the 12 months proceeding the first rate hike. then even after the first rate hike happens, they move forward around 25% to 26%. this shouldn't be viewed as the end of the bull cycle, but continuation to a mid economic cycle, but not an issue for the equity market. >> a lot of bears out there saying inflation is causing the markets to decline last week, we saw the dow take a dip. s&p take a dip and nasdaq flat at the same time, s&p hit a record high.
5:54 am
how are you perceiving this? >> the issue comes down to where you are in the market. interest rates are a great signal on economic health. when the 10-year is moving up, we want to be pro cyclical oriented think the dow jones industrial average or we want to be in sectors like financials or industrials or energy. what is happening now is with the rotation taking place as interest rates begin to potentially come in on these concerns, it will be problematic for that potential trade we don't see it ending yet the fundamentals are strong for value. we see 40% growth this year. nevertheless, we need to keep an eye on the direction of interest rates with the health of the trade. we are off 2%. we are not seeing a huge market problem. the row hetation has been severe
5:55 am
within the market. >> when you look at the s&p sectors on friday, they were down we talked about the markets being down since october you look at commodity prices like lumber. a great indicator of consumer lending. hard not to think inflation is not hurting the markets. i know what you are saying the data says. what is the argument to in investors this week? >> i think to keep in mind one important thing to look at as we continue to judge this reopening trade is how big consumer wallets are. when you look at the personal income savings rate that has taken place, we see wallets as high as they have been over time people have put that toward good use like paying down debt, but that clears up future spending power. as consumers continue to venture
5:56 am
back out, we will see more and more wallets open. services and entertainment that is really going drive the reopening trade. it is not to say going back to the issue on inflation that the russell 2000 may be getting softer as we rotate into the middle of the economic cycle, but we don't view it as a problem for the market >> patrick, one last question. today is prime day do you expect sales to top last year or decline from last year >> it is not an area i focus on. i know consumers are ready to spend. whether it is online retailers or in person, the opportunity is there across the board. >> patrick palfrey, thank you for your time. that does it for us on
