something to watch now to the attention on the latest on ukraine. u.s. and uk working to verify unconfirmed reports of russia using chemical weapons in the port city of mariupol. nbc's raf sanchez is live in lviv with the latest raf. >> reporter: frank, good morning. these claims of chemical weapon use are coming from the battalion. the far-right ukrainian militia leading the defense in mariupol. last night, several soldiers were exposed to what they say was chemical weapons dropped from a russian drone we should be clear, we have not independently verified that. in the last hour or so, ukrainian deputy defense minister saying on telling, she is not able to verify that claim. she says initial information indicates this may have been phosphorus munitions that is a nasty weapon
5:32 am
it drops burning white material over a large area. it is not traditionally what we think of as chemical weapons the uk is urgently trying to v verify what is going here. the british secretary says if they used chemical weapons, that would be a callous escalation and one moscow needs to pay the price for. it is easy to say and difficult to do. we remember president obama drawing that figureative red line if they use chemical weapons, it could trigger an american military response. that response did not happen president biden will be wary >> raf, the war is turning to the eastern ukraine area what is the latest on the fighting there >> reporter: officials say every day they are seeing more russian
5:33 am
tanks and armor and artillery troops in the donbas region. over the next two-to-three weeks, we are likely to see a major escalation there this is going to be a very different kind of fighting to what we have seen so far in this six-week war we are likely to see something more like the second world war battles and tanks and artillery going up against each other. that is a situation that may favor the russians remember, in the east, they are fighting closer to their own bord border supply lines are shorter it is difficult for the ukrainians to mount the hit-and-run guerilla attacks in the suburbs. it is a very difficult fight ahead for the ukrainians in the east volodymyr zelenskyy says they need more weapons from the west to keep up the fight

5:36 am
consumer price index jumping 1.1% last month. that would be the largest increase since september of 2005 year over year, it will shoot up 8.%. the largest gain since 1981. let's get more insight on the data from michelle girard. >> good morning. >> michelle, do you agree that inflation can shoot up 8.4% year over year? >> it is frank, with everything we are talking about with these numbers. others have an outside increase. we are looking for a gain of over 1% in that headline cpi that is really driven by a surge in energy prices they could be up over 8% as a
5:37 am
result of the invasion of ukraine. we expect food prices to be up sharply so the headline gain is going to be the largest that we've seen since 2008. if you strip out the volatile food and energy, the numbers are going to look for that core rate of inflation excluding food and energy. up 6.5%. it will be another round of very unsettling numbers for the fed. >> you mentioned stripping out food and energy. heat the house or get in the car and drive. in this case, the core cpi is just as relevant we will see the numbers come up. inflation will rise. fed has plans to hike rates. do you see any change to the plan dependingon what we see today? >> no, it is interesting last week, the minutes from the
5:38 am
fed's last meeting indicated the pre-disposition to move 50 basis points they said 50 basis point increases. one or more at future meetings would be appropriate potentially to combat inflation. i think in the minds of most market participants, ourselves included, no matter what number you would have gotten today, it would have, i think, sealed the deal that the fed was inclined to make a half a basis point move in early may. the question now is going forward. will they continue to act that aggressively and the market is pricing in aggressive moves. the market now thinks the fed will raise rates to above 3% before they're finished. >> i have to ask the fed and other experts said the inflation is due to the supply chain issues and geopolitical uncertainty how do rate hikes address two issues that are beyond the scope of the fed's control
5:39 am
>> you are right, frank. what we have is an imbalance with supply and demand there is not much the fed can do to increase the supply of goods and services disrupted by supply chain issues and war, et cetera. what rate hikes do is helps limit demand by raising interest rates and moving policy away from a very an an caccommodating stance, it fuels the imbalance. the rate hikes are intending to move to a more appropriate position given the fact that sitting with rates below the neutral level at this point in the sickle cycle with the infla appropriate. >> president biden addressing gas prices later today food inflation is something that
5:40 am
probably isn't spoken about enough we all eat we look at commodity prices spike up there is no end to what is going in russia any time soon. how will food inflation continue >> i think food inflation is more persistent than the energy price surge. we have seen the energy price surge dominate the march numbers. energy prices may come off a bit in terms of pace, but food prices are going to be very persistent in general, let me say, we have expectations for inflation to remain very elevated that's really the concern. even though the year over year numbers will start to move lower helped by comparisons to higher levels a year ago. we still have the inflation rate
5:41 am
unco uncomfortably high if yyou strip out food and energy, it is 4% 3% at the end of next year this is what the fed is worried about. the persistence of inflation across the board. >> michelle girard, we appreciate it. estimates for the highest inflation in 40 years. thank you for being here. coming up on "worldwide exchange." bitcoin facing pressure as it dips below 40,000. we talk about the action as we head to break, other top stories. deutsche bank plummeting on a report that undisclosed investor told large stakes in both. they remain confident in strategies. shares of dubai water authority begin trading today. that is the largest ipo since aramco and piling on the pressure to

brent crude above $100 a barrel. up 3% this morning we have to look at natural gas higher cryptocurrency bitcoin falling below 40,000 for the first time since mid march on monday. up fractionally. solana up over 1%. for more on the trading day ahead, let's bring in keith lerner at truist keith, thanks for being here >> good morning, frank great to be with you >> let's look ahead to the cpi number we showed the estimates. estimates for 8.5% over the last year how is that impacting the markets? >> as far as today, frank, everyone knows we have a high rate i would not be surprised if we have a rally off that. the big picture is inflation remaining a problem. it will be a challenge for the
5:51 am
fed to tame inflation at the same time of not hurting the economy. it will would be a challenge for them to stick a soft landing without breaking an ankle or two. >> that's quite the metaphor keith, you have been bullish on equities you are changing your opinion. you are feeling more positive about fixed income is that just rising interest rates or are there other factors? >> frank, we have been bulls the last two years we downglraded view of equity from attractive to neutral one reason is we have seen the move in interest rates to the 10-year treasury at 2.8. that is a percent higher than march 1st. as a result, the equity risk premium is the comparative value is relative to the fixed income.
5:52 am
when we see that and test that out, the stocks out performance which tends to be higher, moves down 3% on the 12-month basis. we are saying we still think fixed income is under weight we think there is opportunity. >> earlier this month, before you have came out with the call, you downgraded small caps. it looks impressive. russell off the five-day losing streak during the pandemic, the small caps in general and the russell were reopening index the country reopened philly reinstituted the mask man mandate. why are small caps struggling? >> we were lbullish last year. because of the economic cycle.
5:53 am
as the fed raises raitstes and economy slows down, it will effect small caps. on the long term basis, they are attractive we see price trends weakening and the earnings momentum relative to small cap weakening as well. small caps are leveraged we do think we will have somewhat slower growth in the economy relative to the last year or two. >> so no recession, but slower growth are you downgrading equity what are you overweight? >> it is more where there is opportunity within sectors we have been overweight in energy over the last year. we still like energy, but it in a digestion phase. areas such as consumer staples is an overweight we still continue to like reits. some tech exposure and reflation
5:54 am
exposure health care and materials which are latest in the cycle. >> how do you see inflation coming out everybody is looking ahead to that cpi how is cpi doing does it still impact energy and reits? for cell towers or whatever else >> that's right. energy is a direct play on inflation staying elevated oil prices supported as well we like energy consumer staples if you have a slower economy because the fed will press higher with higher rates, that is a good sector and choppy market that we envision. with reits, there is a positive aspect every year they raise prices on inflation trends
5:55 am
there are offsets and a healthy yield in the reit index. >> keith lerner, thank you text me later. before we wrap up, another check of the top stories the rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage has climbed to 5.25%. the highest level since august of 2009. around two percentage points higher than a year ago according to freddie mac, the fastest rise since 1994. and president biden has picked michael barr for the pick for the treasury department. he crafted safeguards in the 2008 financial crisis and a long-time consumer advocate.
