leslie: cre is a big one.f the curve stays inverted higher for longer, that could be a problem in terms of some of these loans coming due, the amend and extend. i think issues with commercial real estate. we came into the year, the market came into the year from november expecting the fed will go from pause to pivot and it priced that in. there was a lot of tailwinds to risk and performance assets. the issue and the headwind would be if the curve stays inverted, it stays higher for longer. when some of these loans start to come due, it can create problems. simply from the higher cost of capital. sonali: a lot of questions about that inversion. we have to leave it there, thank you for your time. up next, talking about the auction block. fresh off its ipo, amer sports joining the parade. this is "bloomberg real yield." ♪ when you automate sales tax with avalara, you don't have to worry about things like changing tax rates or filing returns. avalarahhh ahhh sonali: i'm sonali basak. this is "bloomberg real yield.

leslie, the doj case also has some news today.d we saw the supreme court has now gotten the briefs and the responses, and they'll make up their mind over whether to review, slow down, or fast track that case. with the new york case going first, what do you think about that? i think you and i, if we talked six months ago or whatever,what know that one would go first. i don't think anyone would say it's the most serious. >> that's absolutely right. i think that it's in some ways unfortunate that case is going first because that case really had to do with the allegation is that the former president who was campaigning at the time committed campaign finance violations to essentially pay off stormy daniels and hiding the fact that he had asked michael cohen to pay it off, falsely document it, and then pay him to all make himself look better with connection to the campaign and keep out negative information. he did that as a candidate. the actions that were taken in connection with january 6th were taken as a president. even though he ha

or no, leslie?so i think it could accomplish something, if the defense has evidence to the contrary. so if, for example, there are records, and they have, them or they are able to get them, that reflect that these witnesses are not being candid, that would have consequences. but then i think that the fact that there is maybe no evidence of the money changing hands by itself is kind of a meaningless fact, unless there is some evidence suggesting that the that is actually not true. >> each of you have drawn our attention to the law, and what the issues are. and even though manny, at least in who he's represented, may come at it with a different present -- each of you have been more narrow in the line of questioning today, which at times was just all over the place. to a casual observer, they might say what is going on in atlanta? manny, this is however still planned as a trial of a former president. each of these trials will be a first impression, that's why the supreme court is reviewing the federal

leslie, consensus bullish is what it's coming down to.f fear percolating through the traders and investors out there with regard to the stellar run. you just showed the chart of nvidia and remember, at this stage, with that $688 price that we have, we're talking about a market cap of $1.79 trillion which makes it worth more than amazon or alphabet and twice as much as berkshire hathaway. the analyst take right now is interesting. this is like i said, a consensus bull call across pretty much everybody on wall street. if you take a look at the way analysts are reading this out to be right now. the average target price is $752. we're close to there right now, maybe about 4 or 5% away given today's moves. 93% have a buy rating. only 7% say hold. there are no sell ratings on nvidia so a lot of people betting this is going to keep going higher, which is a little bit of cause for worry. with regard to the commentary, you do have folks like bank of america saying that the appreciation has been parabolic, the word they used, and that we think that

leslie, the stock market is up, thnue job numbers are good, inflation is not perfect, but the storiesl. so given biden's low approvalnub numbers and the fact he has a story to tell, why not addresss the nation during the super bowl? >> well, there are a couple of reasons for that. taylor swift is one of them. when i say taylor swift, i'm not talking about the conspiracy theories linking her and theth president. i'm talking about a lot ofng c people complaining, can we watch football and can't football jus. be football?curr with the current climate and people complaining about, youdo know, do we have to have politics and everything? does everythintog have to be political, the beer that we drink, the commercials we watched some of the programs wes watch? can't we just have a game?nest honestly, the president and the staff made a right choice with d this. people don't tune into the super bowl to listen to what the president says or you know, hear him say, "i love both teams." everybody has a favorite usually in a matchup like this.. so i don't think it is a problem. like you said, he's n

leslie?g the united states is the leader in democracy in the world, the leader in freedom and that joe biden is our president and the leader of our nation, it is appropriate that he meet with her. we hear different sentiments in the united states with regard to russia, with regard to ukraine, with regard to putin and freedom. the president has said all along that there would be sanctions after the death of navalny and that it would be announced tomorrow. so you know, he's reiterating what he already said. it's appropriate that he meet with somebody that is fighting for the very values that the overwhelming majority of americans have. >> martha: he said putin was responsible for the death of navalny. we didn't hear that specifically from president trump the other night. he said he felt like he could sympathize with navalny and the pressure that he's under based on the attacks that he felt in this country. should he take a stronger stance against putin and his role in this? >> well, he certainl
