world's most vital waterways and some say that it was mother nature who came to the rescue salvage teams were finally able to set the giant container ship ever given free on monday in the students can now the vessel was escorted by a tugboat that assisted in 40 minutes had already seen the peak of the high tide also bigoted its release the 220000 ton cargo ship was hauled over the canal bank toward the great bitter lake that's where the ship will undergo technical inspection the obstruction has created a massive traffic jam since tuesday each day it's held at $9000000000.00 in global trade adding up to a total of nearly $54000000000.00 so strained supply chains already burdened by the pandemic at least $367.00 vessels transporting everything from crude oil to cattle powered up on either end of the canal waiting to pass or prices dropping 2.5 percent to $6390.00 monday after the ship was freed officials say it's not exactly clear when traffic would worsen we almost see so this but continue to impact
9:33 am
supplies it's estimated 9800000 barrels of crude are waiting to enter that canal that's a 10th of a day's global consumption all rationing began in syria to guarantee supply for basic services including hospitals so what went wrong some pointed to the 70 mile per hour winds during the sandstorm but other say there have been worse winds in the past it was reported that when the incident occurred the propeller of the ship nor the home were operating. as well as the dust storm or wind speed reasons we had technical problems with the ship and possible personal reasons regarding the captain of the ship i can't specify these before the investigation concludes last tuesday 12 northbound ships reportedly pass through the canal ahead of the ever given another 30 were able to travel in the opposite direction before the jam last year 18840 ships were able to pass through the canal with no issues while the canal is the quickest passage from asia and the. europe and the u.s.
9:34 am
it's may change the way what goods are ships reporting for boom bust sometimes just weeks artsy. well prices fell early in the day they have since stabilized ahead of this week's opec plus meeting so for more on this and what's moving markets let's bring in boom bust co-host christiane and showtime and editor of the logical investor thank you both for being here sean i want to start with you how has the global oil market react to the situation going on in the suez canal and what are we looking at as far as expectations going into this next big opec plus meeting. you have before the whole incident oil had really run up a lot i mean it almost doubled in 4 or 5 months and so it was in the midst of a pullback when the suez incident happened and so well it dropped like 10 or 11 bucks a barrel and the suez is it didn't help it stabilize and regain 3 or 4 bucks a barrel and so really stop that volatile you know downdraft that was happening and oil. oh pick up believe is going to want to be you know really restrained as it
9:35 am
comes to production i think that they're going to want to keep oil prices high remember they've got budgets they're really need about a break even of about $83.00 a barrel for saudi arabia something a little less or a little more than that and other opec members but they want to see you know $8900.00 barrel oil and i believe that they ultimately get that that will take a little bit time to play out but i think in this next leg higher i think that's what we'll see over the next you know year or 2 now kristie traders are bracing for a high in volatility during this holiday shortened week with quarter and rebalancing amongst funds how are equities doing after the media selloff that we saw friday. well there's a lot of weakness on bank stocks monday as they got caught in the downdraft the friday morning so shares a common discovery saw intense selling pressure last week as a 2 companies were hit by force liquidations up positions held by multibillion dollar family office are couple management so the 2 companies had lost over 27 percent apiece during friday's sell off an unprecedented $35000000000.00 block
9:36 am
trades so after the initial plunge in medias earlier in the week it prompted this margin call from one of our shakos prime brokers which of them prompted a cascade of similar cash flows from other crimes as well so now capital ran by tiger cub bill is completely finished as a firm one site is no longer available credit suisse warned that it would also chase a significant hit to its 1st quarter results having to exit hedge funds position related to this for selling and them are also one that it too could get hit so bank stocks are way guy on the market today as investors are kind of assessing the fall out and the damage analysts are hopeful that the situation will not have a lot to impact on the broader market however traders are left wondering is this fire sale really over and are there any other firms that are on the verge of blowing up like this so as you mentioned we are at the traditional end of the quarter time or volatility tends to spike up with fund rebalancing their portfolios so there's also the possibility that other funds could have similar exposure to our
9:37 am
shakos and we could see more of these hopefully isolated case it's going forward. to kristi's point here when there's so much of relativity in the market we would expect to see some risk of trading on monday but but actually we saw the opposite is gold and silver actually deployed a bit what happened there. yes so actually you know metals really kind of weird they'll pop up for a good while and then they'll consolidate in and pare back usually for many months or so and we're still in the latter phase of that before it's next pyar so also to sometimes we think you know when markets pullback gold should automatically go. but sometimes gold will temporarily go down with markets especially when there's margin call selling in different things like that but ultimately it bounces back and recovers much faster than stock so gold can snap back and regain 6 year 80 percent of loss what might take stocks you know many years to do so in that sense it is a good heads and now kristie when we talk about gold we always like to talk about
9:38 am
digital gold and the expectations for big point are high going into april as this month has been traditionally bullish for crypto what's the next catalyst for big corn right now. well right now i have a bit of a wait and see attitude among crypto traders me are just out of reach of all time highs and we're doing well just consolidating at this $50000.00 bam so in terms i think patience i do see because i'm going higher where in the aftermath of the having so after having you normally had the best i gain in the next year so 2021 will be no different than 2013 or 2017 and we're literally only 3 and a half months into the crime decline both cycle so there's still quite a long ways to go you have more institutional flow coming into because i know it's there about the near term catalyst you have major credit card provider visa piloting a program that will allow partners to use the block chain to settle transactions made a speech and claim it will be going public in april in a direct listing on the nasdaq giving the entire industry more legitimacy and then
9:39 am
on top of that on top of institutional we have another inflow of retail customers getting into cook as it becomes more mainstream and even though i feel like the is already pretty mainstream we're talking about the boomers the very wealthy baby boomers who have not been involved in this rally up until now so as banks like morgan stanley begin to offer access to bitcoin funds to its wealthy clients other major banks in training will follow suit and this will likely spark a new rush from wealthy baby boomers so morgan stanley is the 1st big u.s. bank to offer bitcoin investment to a well managed client so j.m.p. securities predicted that about $1.00 trillion dollars could flow into bequest from this demographic as they currently do not have any direct access or exposures other banks like goldman sachs they're also seeing huge institutional demand as increasingly wealthy clients are getting worried about the u.s. printing way too many dollars bucks coast christiane and sean harmon editor of the logical investor thank you both for that and today thank you again.
9:40 am
and johnson and johnson has entered an agreement to supply the african union with up to 400000000 doses of its covert 1000 baxi in the form a giant announced monday now as part of this deal with the african african vaccine acquisition trust johnson and johnson will deliver 220000000 doses of its single dose drug starting in the 3rd quarter of this year with the option for another 180000000 doses 2 $1022.00 now the continent has been struggling to deal with the more contagious variant of the virus found in south africa the director of the f.b.i. the centers for disease control and prevention says the one shot nature of this vaccine actually makes it an easier rollout adding we need to him immunize at least 60 percent of our population in order to get rid of the virus from our continent
9:41 am
the j.n.j. agreement in abel's us to move towards achieving this target and nice and meanwhile some areas of the united states are seeing spikes in copenhagen cases as the vaccination race heats up for more on this and the state of the global vaccine rollout let's bring in our key correspondent site after site where we monday you know brenda after several weeks at a plateau unfortunately causing $1000.00 cases the united states are rising again right now cases are up safety 9 percent which has prompted c.d.c. director dr rachela when lenski warning of a potential 4th wave of the virus. when i 1st started at c.d.c. about 2 months ago i made a promise to you i would tell you the truth even if it was not the news you wanted to hear now is one of those times when i have to share the truth and i have to hold and trust will listen i'm going to take our i'm going to lose this cracks and i'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling i have of
9:42 am
a pending we have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are and so much a reason for hope all right now i'm scared. cases are now especially increasing amongst younger people and many are pointing to florida state further along in lifting the restrictions and welcoming taurus as a case example of what not to do you know take a look at some of the footage coming from miami where thousands of tourists have gathered drawn by florida's a loose virus control laws and if recent trends are any indication the rest of the country may really be in trouble but of course his case increases not just florida here or some other several states where cases are once again going up for example in michigan and they're averaging about 4100 cases a day up from a 1000 just one month ago in february now unfortunately hospitalizations are also rising sharply with the u.s.
9:43 am
a likely to surpass 565000 deaths in the coming days but of course looking at the vaccine rollout that's looking good where the u.s. there ministering about 25w2x5 people are should say are receiving a baxi in every day and that's a figure that's been pretty pretty steady as you can see for more than a week now so right now in total more than 15 percent of the total u.s. population has been fully vaccinated while most states expect to open up vaccine eligibility to all adults by the end of april so far 7 states have already done that brant and i'm sorry there's a new report going around about the origin of the virus what do you tell us about that a well this is a draft leaked report which was conducted by a joint effort by w.h.o. world health organization in china on the origins of cold in 1000 now this report
9:44 am
is based a largely on a visit by w w h o a team of scientists to rule on of course the chinese city work over 19 was 1st detected now out of this report concluded. the transmission of the virus from bats to humans through another animal is the most likely scenario and more importantly that it's extremely unlikely that given 1900 leaked from a one on lab now this report was also in conclusive on whether the outbreak started out of one seafood market that one of the earliest clusters of case back in december of 2019 but of course this study was never meant to actually identify the exact natural source of the virus things that could take years and to give you an example it's been 40 years of study that still failed to pinpoint the exact species about that for us transmitted to humans so this is where we are now are to

morgan and goldman sachs millions in assets and thousands and stuff but who knows what the future will bring in terms of those people being repatriated because a few things number one any sort of regulator any sort of agreement and regulation like this is obviously positive i would actually quote mr rochester he's the current strategist at norm aura international and as he said this is positive for sure the pound is op it's up 26 percent to 138 and i would say that regulation like this or at least a memorandum of understanding there's going to be something is positive what do they actually hope to accomplish with this memorandum of understanding i mean you kind of said that maybe it doesn't open the door for those london based financial firms to actually go back to business as usual with the e.u. correct we're totally correct i don't think they'll ever be business as it was before meaning the previous usual a few things on vova that is a financial services consultant back in january only 2 months ago released
9:52 am
a report that stated that over a 1000 banks insurers and asset managers were opening offices in london so they could better their european customers so i think you'll seeing that a lot of these e.u. . investors and e.u. firms are also moving to the city of london and they're doing so regardless of the m o u being signed or not as usual they are eating as usual as the business is carrying on as usual. on the. situation a new survey from the federation of small businesses shows that 23 percent of exporters in the u.k. have actually stopped sales to the e.u. following breck's it due to red tape that they're incurring is this going to be a lasting problem or just some growing pains of brecht's it well i think brant what you're going to see is that growing pains big for small companies growing pains honest think the big companies are the global firms that have been far better positioned in terms of obviously all the stuff that they have to deal with all the additional red tape i think what you will see is you know to refer to the m.p.

in the u.k. richard holden who's actually been hailing. and the whole international trade department for now the 9 trillion pound access to the pacific rim the pacific trade agreement and so global culture corporations are going to benefit for that so in terms of business the usual small businesses i think are going to continue to fuel this longer than the logical peroration. in the u.k. prime minister boris johnson he said saturday that the country would continue with his plan to reopen after the most recent lock downs saying the economy will quote bounce back strongly later this year what's it going to take for a strong recovery in the u.k. at this point well yes you're right he did speak and he also said that he's going to go and get a haircut and he's going to go and have a pint in the public and hillary keeps telling us that he is going to get there. just have jelled put him back but anyway not to say it but to be serious about this
9:54 am
i think something that has been very much reported in the u.k. and that's of a direct full out of code that is the skills gap i think like everywhere else on the world obviously the more highly educated the family the more highly educated the demographic. the easier it's been for them to stay not only abreast of education on lining but the skills gap has widened across the globe but particularly also in the u.k. you're saying that the number of applicants for the a levels which is an advanced level of degree has decreased and there's a skills gap concern in the u.k. i don't think this is unique to the u.k. but it certainly is going to mean that the u.k. has to work on that to get back to business as usual the other thing that will get the u.k. back to business as usual on the finalization of global trade agreements including the one that is still impending that is with the u.s. and also of course the one i just mentioned with lynn stross in the pacific but she's finalized of a 60 agreement so it's trade agreements that skills based course keep up with
