. >>> and your rbi, just 11 stocks, goldman sachs says hedge funds and mutual funds love right now, theist, the names just for you it's wednesday, may 26th, and this is "worldwide exchange. ♪ >>> well, good morning, good afternoon or good evening, welcome from wherever world you may be watching. i'm brian sullivan, it's 5:00 a.m. that's early here's now the markets are setting up their day stock futures they are higher once again right now, could be another good day in the street of dreams, dow up 87, and the dow and russell 2000 did break a streak on tuesday, a fairly new day today, volume was down, still, we are seeing futures high. overall, it has been a pretty rough month of may for technology nasdaq 100 on pace for its worst performance, to all the way back in october in the meantime, what's hold is new again. and the oldest commodity of all keeps moving higher. of course, that is gold at its highest level since january. gold higher up by eight bucks, 1902 and creeping back towards that $2,000 per ounce mark and of course, we've got to check the most volatile market of all recently

david kostin will join us from goldman sachs. part of it is about the end of this pandemic, and mom during the steps and where pfizer has been -- and moderna steps in where pfizer has been. jonathan: in the moderna study, 93% to 100% effective in a study of 12 to 17-year-olds. from here, the process continues. the company will submit for regulatory authorization in early june, and from there you imagine this one gets rolled out. tom: to me, it is about the quiver of solutions. it is not anymore one target, one silver bullet. it is a quiver of solutions for nations that are in the headlines, and too many that are far behind. lisa: the question now is below that, what about younger adolescents? and are we almost out of the pandemic? tom: stock moving 2.2%. we really need to frame the equity markets. futures up 15, dow futures up 92. jon ferro notes 18.36 on the vix. that is a david kostin number, isn't it? jonathan: after a really tidy rally in yesterday's session. growth has made a bit of a comeback. is that just a little bit of a

sachs brigade. he was benefiting ordinary people with his furnace schemes is help out to, to heat out slightly more controversially in the subtitle in the book where you say, why work doesn't pay as people start to emerge. obviously the pandemic is still going on here. why does work not pay? i mean, that is a question that the vast majority of people in britain probably talking about is they come off low and back into jobs if they're lucky. well, basically the, the architecture of renting capitalism. make sure that most of the income from economic growth, all from changes in the system go to the owners of property, financial property, physical property, or so called intellectual property. and these means the less and less going to people who rely on labor for the incomes. so we have this growth of the precarious on which i've written several books and we've got what i've called in the book prospect of a triple k. in the sense that before the damage, the bureaucrats from the leads of people, mainly m

of goldman sachs and other major figures in the democratic party said that if sanders was the nominee they would vote for trump trump was distasteful in that he didn't bring the gravity and decorum to the management of empire that the elites want they knew biden would do that and when you look at his plan remember biden on the campaign trail had said that he would when he got to office right to $2000.00 stimulus checks that got reduced to $1415.00 minimum wage has collapsed his infrastructure plan is not is clearly going to be whittled down by the senate and his relief package is essentially handing large sums of money to states and to corporations that's just another version of trickle down economics so then how does it work how is it that all my friends and the folks that i interviewed from time to time on the right can't have it so wrong they say he's a communist a socialist but he's going to absolutely give away the country to all the poor people and the rich are going to be a lock i mean they literally have have a could worse view of him than you do explain that to us. well but t

>> well, goldman sachs taking a side, i just think it's a nonstarter. bitcoin has gone from $0 to 40,000 without them, and obviously, i don't want care what side they are. if they are partial to see here to yum, that is -- [inaudible] whoever has the most money has a stake in what the code does and how it changes. hsbc not liking bitcoin is a nonstarter as well. again, we didn't need banks to get to this point, and we don't need them now. goldman sachs, to me, is just good promotion because they did have an employee who moved over to coinbase, so this is just them changing the narrative at this point. liz: could argue everybody's a little behind on this, gil. i mean, maybe the answer lies in the price action when it comes to the power of which of these two banks really is most strong. the power of the price of ether, over the last 12 months the ethereum price has outpaced bitcoin, around 1,000 perth. you do have -- 1,000%. you do have ethereum jumping today while bitcoin is recovering by 17%. what is your thought on this leaked report by goldman that fo

tom: people that cover apple, sri covering goldman sachs.omaine is the stoxx. -- is the stocks. tom: romaine is locked in. romaine: pfizer still benefiting from the covid crisis. this is a company that came in above estimates on the revenue side by about $1 billion, and actually raised its full-year revenue estimates about $8 billion to $9 billion above what it previously forecast, above what the street was looking for. a lot of this is because it expects to make more money off of this covid vaccines than previously expected. on top of that, it's none covid drugs doing pretty well. cvs health did report a bump up and revenue growth, but a lot of that had to do with raising prices on some of its prescription products. it is still being heard by the covid crisis because a lot of people aren't coming into that store. they are not buying that front of the store merchandise they would normally sell with all of that foot traffic. that is still waiting on them going forward. an interesting move at twitter. you are starting to see a lot of activity

goldman sachs says they want people back. as that happens, that will put transportation systems under pressure for the people who commute into manhattan. right now, the public transit is being avoided. you are down something like 70% capacity. how do respond to that? financially, you can't run them long down 70%, can you? governor murphy: number one, the prior coronavirus relief funds or the american rescue plan money, or perhaps what is being debated now, the infrastructure plan, we need that help. secondly, we have fixed what was broken, and use the pandemic to fix it faster, so i think people will find a clean, safe, reliable system. thirdly, one of the ways we will get to 70% vaccination is to get our business community to be proactive, just as we are at the state level. we had a good call with the chamber of commerce on this topic this morning, getting businesses to be forward-leaning into this, as we are at the state level. i think the transit community reality will be slow to recover, but when folks come back and parti

fiscal spending. >> it was interesting in that goldman sachs note. they are saying now is the time to buy this because, yes, china is flagging that it's going to have more government intervention. they really want to curb those price pressures that are at three-year highs from spilling into consumer prices so whether that's greater oversight in terms of those futures markets, curbing speculation in the market, but against this backdrop, we are seeing just the strength of u.s. demand, this fiscal stimulus coming through is going to propel that u.s. demand so i think against that backdrop, against ongoing supply constraints as well, we have seen some signs of easing on that front but together, that does suggest that we are still in this period where commodity prices will be supported even if china is going to take marginal steps to try to intervene there. anna: we did see the bloomberg commodity index retreated a little on those chinese comments. thank you very much. thanks for joining us. good to speak to you this morning. you can get analysis and ins

you have goldman sachs, j.p.setting a schedule for when they expect people back in the office. is there a feeling among some of the people you work with that rumors of the death of the office have been greatly exaggerated, given the idea people want to be around other people? barry: for sure. there are couple of things that stood out. the four partners said we would come in, and everybody else it was optional. we were surprised we had 20 people show up, including jonathan novy from chicago, shocked everybody. he has been vaccinated for months so he was comfortable doing that. it is still masks in public places. everybody in the firm is fully vaccinated. what you learn is a lot of the work we all do day to day, you can walk in your spare big room at home or your office, shut the door, and do the work. that is just your particular work. it is not the work of operating a firm. you have to be able to maintain a corporate culture and have everybody understand the firm's goals and the way we operate. we met yesterday f

i learned what to wear at goldman sachs and learned how to think there. i was taught how stocks move, a process that can be counter intuitive for people watching the disaster it was today. my teacher david darsh asked me what's the key determination of stock prices jim, why do stocks go up and down profits. said nope. sales. nope management he said the number one driver of stock prices is the bond market. especially the u.s. treasury market it's so much bigger than the stock market literally every asset, everything is priced off the bond market. which brings us to what happened today. one of the things that pushes up bond yields is inflation you need more yield to compensate for inflation eroding the purchasing power of a dollar so when you get the raging inflation number, bond yields spike. nothing is worth more in the future if there is inflation stocks are long gated assets valued based on the future earnings potential and those future earnings are worth less in a world with higher inflation. just if you only take that away, they're worth less it's par
