[00:02.960 --> 00:07.560] South Bend Indian Amar Peak, Buttigieg, was a close second followed by Minnesota Senator [00:07.560 --> 00:12.400] Amy Klobuchar, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, and former Vice President Joe [00:12.400 --> 00:16.960] Biden finished well behind. [00:16.960 --> 00:21.720] That cruise ship that was barred from docking in four countries has found a place to disembark [00:21.720 --> 00:24.560] the more than 2,200 people on board. [00:24.560 --> 00:29.240] Operators of the Western Dam say the vessel will dock in Cambodia on Thursday. [00:29.240 --> 00:34.520] The ship was turned away by Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines because of fears [00:34.520 --> 00:38.960] that those aboard could spread a virus that originated in China. [00:38.960 --> 00:44.360] Holland America lines as there are no confirmed cases on board the ship. [00:44.360 --> 00:49.000] In Germany, the search to replace Angle and Merkel as Chancellor is getting underway. [00:49.000 --> 00:53.040] Pressure is growing among Germany's conservative factions to speed up the process to [00:53.040 --> 00:56.000] choose a candidate for the next election. [00:56.000 --> 01:00.840] Merkel's heir apparent shook up German politics Monday by declaring she would step down [01:00.840 --> 01:02.360] as the governing party's leader. [01:02.360 --> 01:06.800] Huawei technologies are being able to tap into mobile phone networks. [01:06.800 --> 01:11.840] National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien says officials believe the Chinese company uses [01:11.840 --> 01:15.440] back doors designed for use by law enforcement. [01:15.440 --> 01:17.440] Huawei is rejecting the allegations. [01:17.440 --> 01:23.520] The Trump administration has been urging allies to bar Huawei from their networks. [01:23.520 --> 01:28.280] Mobile news 24 hours a day on air and on quick take by Bloomberg powered by more than [01:28.280 --> 01:34.080] 2,700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. [01:34.080 --> 01:51.680] I'm Mark Crumpton, this is Bloomberg. [01:51.680 --> 01:55.200] I'm from Bloomberg World Headquarters in New York. [01:55.200 --> 01:56.200] And live in Toronto. [01:56.200 --> 01:57.200] I'm Amanda Lying. [01:57.200 --> 01:58.200] Welcome to Bloomberg markets. [01:58.200 --> 02:02.720] We're now joined by both our Bloomberg and our B&N Bloomberg audiences. [02:02.720 --> 02:03.720] Day two for Powell. [02:03.720 --> 02:08.320] The Fedcher continues his testimony on Capitol Hill, striking a dovish tone. [02:08.320 --> 02:12.400] What is remarks on the central bank's efforts to increase labor force participation [02:12.400 --> 02:14.240] could mean for rates. [02:14.240 --> 02:18.680] And another day another record, US stocks are in the green with the S&P 500 and the Dow [02:18.680 --> 02:24.800] Jones industrials climbing to all-time highs, treasury yields have advanced in lockstap. [02:24.800 --> 02:30.000] Crude climbs, oil inches above $51,000 a barrel, even as OPEC slashes its forecasts for [02:30.000 --> 02:33.600] global demand and US invitories were above estimates. [02:33.600 --> 02:38.080] Let's get you started with a quick check. [02:38.080 --> 02:40.160] But markets are trading in the afternoon session. [02:40.160 --> 02:45.600] We are seeing risk on sentiment with US stocks at a record high, treasury yields also rising [02:45.600 --> 02:51.000] at the same time, we are seeing the S&P 500 being led higher by consumer discretionary [02:51.000 --> 02:56.320] and energy stocks, interesting oil is still above $51 a barrel despite the fact that OPEC [02:56.320 --> 02:59.760] came out and slashed their forecast for global demand this year. [02:59.760 --> 03:04.560] Not to mention the US invitories are higher than expected, came in higher than expected. [03:04.560 --> 03:07.040] We're seeing the Dow gaining 7-10s of 1% of course. [03:07.040 --> 03:11.880] We're seeing a little bit more optimism, given that we are seeing the spread of the coronavirus [03:11.880 --> 03:16.520] slowing down, in fact, when it came to Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak. [03:16.520 --> 03:20.920] We saw the lowest number of new cases this month. [03:20.920 --> 03:24.760] Still worth mentioning that there is uncertainty out there, of course, the virus death toll [03:24.760 --> 03:26.640] has topped 1100 already. [03:26.640 --> 03:31.440] Not to mention that we're seeing this deep slump in industrial production continuing [03:31.440 --> 03:32.440] in Europe. [03:32.440 --> 03:36.200] So, take a look at this chart, because if you want to hedge amid this environment, the [03:36.200 --> 03:41.560] yen might be a better option than gold, at least it would be a cheaper option. [03:41.560 --> 03:46.960] You're seeing the skew on the yen against the US dollar which shows bullish call options [03:46.960 --> 03:52.120] against puts that now a lower below that of gold. [03:52.120 --> 03:57.200] So Morgan Stanley saying that the yen could be a better bet when it comes to hedging tail [03:57.200 --> 03:59.800] risk at the moment, Amanda. [03:59.800 --> 04:01.040] Yeah, really interesting. [04:01.040 --> 04:03.760] And I want to show you another chart inside the terminal here. [04:03.760 --> 04:10.000] And this is the S&P 500, its valuation relative to it's 20-day moving average when [04:10.000 --> 04:15.440] I was seeing it at the highest level that it has seen in 200-day moving average, pardon [04:15.440 --> 04:16.440] me, in two years. [04:16.440 --> 04:21.120] It's about an 11% delta here, so just in terms of where things stand on a valuation [04:21.120 --> 04:25.040] basis, getting lofty in terms of where it trades here. [04:25.040 --> 04:29.160] And we do have some breaking news, even as we see kind of a calming down of concerns about [04:29.160 --> 04:33.560] the coronavirus, we learn that the mobile world Congress has been canceled by GSM [04:33.560 --> 04:35.280] in May because of that coronavirus. [04:35.280 --> 04:38.200] Now, there had been participants who had already said they would not attend the mobile [04:38.200 --> 04:39.200] world Congress. [04:39.200 --> 04:43.880] And so perhaps this is just a simple reflection of the fact that it was going to be already [04:43.880 --> 04:45.320] affected by it. [04:45.320 --> 04:50.480] But that is the news that we can now bring to you that mobile world Congress has been canceled. [04:50.480 --> 04:54.320] And that virus, of course, was a topic for Fed Sharej, Powell this week and his two days [04:54.320 --> 04:56.600] of testimony on Capitol Hill. [04:56.600 --> 05:00.440] Michael McKee, Bloomberg International, economics and policy correspondent with us now with [05:00.440 --> 05:07.480] key takeaways and today, Mike, the focus does seem to be on that wage and the job picture. [05:07.480 --> 05:10.360] Just a big picture in terms of what you're hearing from Jay Powell. [05:10.360 --> 05:13.000] What's your biggest sort of takeaway from it all? [05:13.000 --> 05:17.240] Well, you start with the coronavirus and the Fed's inability to really put any kind of numbers [05:17.240 --> 05:21.080] on what kind of damage it might do to the global or US economies. [05:21.080 --> 05:25.520] Jay Powell telling the Senate Banking Committee today, it should have a significant impact [05:25.520 --> 05:28.880] on the Chinese economy, but they don't really have good numbers yet. [05:28.880 --> 05:33.240] And of course, if it affects the Chinese, it will affect their trading partners' policy [05:33.240 --> 05:37.280] and there may be some impact on the United States, but it all depends on how long it [05:37.280 --> 05:38.280] lasts. [05:38.280 --> 05:43.000] That was the news in terms of any kind of thoughts of what the Fed might do in terms of [05:43.000 --> 05:44.800] interest rates going forward. [05:44.800 --> 05:49.120] Much of the rest of the time was spent, as you said, on sort of political topics, the [05:49.120 --> 05:55.600] idea of whether or not the Fed can do anything to increase employment beyond what it's already [05:55.600 --> 05:56.600] doing. [05:56.600 --> 05:58.800] Basically, said, we're letting things run hot. [05:58.800 --> 06:01.240] We've learned our lesson, inflation's not rising. [06:01.240 --> 06:06.040] We'll let it go and see how low it can go, but to really boost the economy, you guys [06:06.040 --> 06:10.920] up on the diets, the senators and representatives need to do more on the fiscal side. [06:10.920 --> 06:15.000] Yeah, when it comes to that fiscal warning, of course, also coming on the back of President [06:15.000 --> 06:19.040] Trump's new budget, which would really increase the deficit spending. [06:19.040 --> 06:20.920] What else did Powell have to say on that front? [06:20.920 --> 06:25.880] Well, he was asked about it and he said, you know, he worries about the deficit right now. [06:25.880 --> 06:29.200] Even though it isn't a threat right now, we're not seeing higher interest rates, but he [06:29.200 --> 06:31.640] does want to see it brought down over the long run. [06:31.640 --> 06:36.240] And one reason is, in the case of recession, the Fed might not have the tools that needs [06:36.240 --> 06:39.840] to completely fight it, and they would want fiscal help, as well. [06:39.840 --> 06:44.200] And with big deficits, he's afraid that the Congress won't be able to respond. [06:44.200 --> 06:48.920] And of course, all of this we're taking the context that we don't yet know, like the [06:48.920 --> 06:54.680] full extent of sort of damage done economically to business even in some ways to confidence, [06:54.680 --> 06:59.080] so though that may now be muted, how much do you think this is factoring in and we'll have [06:59.080 --> 07:03.640] to keep factoring into what the Fed is thinking as they watch data come in related to sort [07:03.640 --> 07:05.400] of global friction around corona? [07:05.400 --> 07:07.640] Well, they will watch the data come in. [07:07.640 --> 07:11.960] Even if you took the coronavirus out of the equation, they would be watching to see if [07:11.960 --> 07:16.760] there were a positive reaction to the phase one trade deal and the idea that maybe the [07:16.760 --> 07:18.400] globally economy had bottomed out. [07:18.400 --> 07:23.320] And we got that economic data out of Europe today that suggests maybe Powell was premature [07:23.320 --> 07:27.000] in saying that, but they're going to be watching the data. [07:27.000 --> 07:31.480] There in no hurry to change rates one way or another, an interest rate increase is off [07:31.480 --> 07:35.720] the table, but whether they would cut rates like Wall Street wants right now, that's not [07:35.720 --> 07:36.720] on their table. [07:36.720 --> 07:38.080] They're going to wait and see. [07:38.080 --> 07:42.880] Mike McKee, thank you very much for the latest on Chair Powell's testimony today in Congress. [07:42.880 --> 07:49.440] For more in the market reaction and the virus impact as well on the markets, let's go to [07:49.440 --> 07:50.440] Luke Cowell. [07:50.440 --> 07:58.560] So, we are seeing a positive sentiment across the board, stocks rising, yields rising, but [07:58.560 --> 08:04.720] how much of this has to do with anything on how positively Powell portrayed the economy [08:04.720 --> 08:07.560] and just virus concerns retreating? [08:07.560 --> 08:12.560] Probably a lot more on the latter there, just in the absence of news flows around in the [08:12.560 --> 08:19.080] virus, getting materially worse, we're probably going to move away from the depths of recession [08:19.080 --> 08:24.160] fear type pricing we had in the 10-year yield and if you look at kind of the range that yields [08:24.160 --> 08:28.520] a set of the now, it's been interesting to see pretty much if we hold this daily range. [08:28.520 --> 08:33.800] The past two days will be among the least the 10 years moved this year, so it's not only [08:33.800 --> 08:37.960] the fact that yields are kind of settling into the middle of what could be a 20-based [08:37.960 --> 08:42.120] point range, if you don't tend it to trade in, ranges of about that and then have a crazy [08:42.120 --> 08:45.440] move one direction or another, but they're also kind of calming down on the interest rate. [08:45.440 --> 08:49.040] At the end of the day, though, are we just headed towards lower yields given that [08:49.040 --> 08:54.520] we are seeing these global growth forecasts and the impact that the virus is having not [08:54.520 --> 08:58.040] only in the Chinese economy, but it's arising, but we're still at once and see too. [08:58.040 --> 08:59.040] Yeah, exactly. [08:59.040 --> 09:01.040] These aren't necessarily high-burns. [09:01.040 --> 09:05.360] Finally, stretch to the imagination, no one's expecting them to get materially higher. [09:05.360 --> 09:10.180] However, there is a sense that even as Powell does strike a kind of a dovish note, [09:10.180 --> 09:14.080] while still signaling confidence in the U.S., they definitely, as Mike said, they're not [09:14.080 --> 09:18.800] in no hurry to lower rates, we got a signal overnight, I believe, from the RBNZ, that [09:18.800 --> 09:23.880] kind of even they are not leaping on the train to necessarily cut rates in the face of [09:23.880 --> 09:24.880] the coronavirus. [09:24.880 --> 09:30.040] So, the central bank response or the market kind of interpretation of how aggressively [09:30.040 --> 09:34.040] central banks were respond to that has probably been a lower overstated so far. [09:34.040 --> 09:39.200] So that, as a driver of lower yields, probably not, but just the fact that growth and inflation [09:39.200 --> 09:43.520] haven't really picked up in years and are expected to, that's probably the more enduring [09:43.520 --> 09:45.520] trend. [09:45.520 --> 09:50.280] And where does the correlation between equities and fixed income fit in here, Luke? [09:50.280 --> 09:54.600] So that's been interesting to watch that release, not back in Cameron Christ, did a good job [09:54.600 --> 09:57.120] of highlighting that this morning on the end-life blog. [09:57.120 --> 10:01.960] We have essentially now, for a while, early in January, stocks and bond yields were fairly [10:01.960 --> 10:07.440] negatively correlated, they're, you know, stock would manage to rise even when yields were [10:07.440 --> 10:12.640] falling and this was essentially a software to the moon trade, even as cyclicals were fading. [10:12.640 --> 10:16.420] A right now, it's kind of the situation, it's flip back to what you might get a little [10:16.420 --> 10:20.620] more normal, stock's rising, bond yields rising in tandem, and that just, I think that [10:20.620 --> 10:25.000] shows that you get to a certain point in markets where you can't make the valuation [10:25.000 --> 10:29.640] excuse anymore, where you can't say that falling yields are just always in everywhere, a good [10:29.640 --> 10:33.240] thing for risk asset valuations, because they were starting to really, really send a [10:33.240 --> 10:35.760] potentially negative signal about the growth outlook. [10:35.760 --> 10:40.320] And now, as yields rise, it's more having to do with some of the tail risk, whether, you [10:40.320 --> 10:44.360] know, rightly or wrongly based on how limited the information we have at this juncture, [10:44.360 --> 10:46.000] kind of being apt away at. [10:46.000 --> 10:50.960] All right, Luke, Luke, call a great interview with us, appreciate it. [10:50.960 --> 10:55.440] Coming up law makers, Democratic and now Republican are stepping up their efforts to fight [10:55.440 --> 11:00.360] climate change and addressing the nation's aging water systems as high on the to-do list. [11:00.360 --> 11:04.360] We'll discuss the evolving topic of water safety with Professor on Public Health Expert [11:04.360 --> 11:05.880] Kellogg Schwab.

[12:12.200 --> 12:13.200] Hi again. [12:13.200 --> 12:17.760] Got the wants to meet. [12:17.760 --> 12:41.740] Good night. [12:41.740 --> 12:55.420] Climate change is the defining issue of our time, so we've redefined how we cover it. [12:55.420 --> 13:01.080] With clear data and rigorous journalism, we rise to the scale of the challenge to reveal [13:01.080 --> 13:03.460] the breadth of possibility. [13:03.460 --> 13:09.940] We look at stories from every angle, to provoke debate, spotlight solutions, and makes [13:09.940 --> 13:13.300] sense of the greatest crisis of our generation. [13:13.300 --> 13:23.700] Bloomberg Green, solutions for a changing climate. [13:23.700 --> 13:27.300] This is Bulbul Market, I'm Shermion in New York. [13:27.300 --> 13:29.100] And I'm Amanda Lang in Toronto. [13:29.100 --> 13:33.300] House Republicans are unveiling their plan to combat climate change today and answer [13:33.300 --> 13:35.980] to Democrats who have dominated on the issue. [13:35.980 --> 13:39.860] More public health officials are calling for water safety to be prioritized as part of [13:39.860 --> 13:40.860] the efforts. [13:40.860 --> 13:45.380] It's already playing out at the state level who hamster Governor Chris Sinunus spoke with Bloomberg [13:45.380 --> 13:49.100] yesterday about his own plan. [13:49.100 --> 13:53.620] We're making a huge investment in clean drinking water infrastructure here about a $400 million [13:53.620 --> 13:55.420] investment, no taxpayer dollars. [13:55.420 --> 13:58.780] We're using it from the settlement money we got from extra years ago, so we're doing [13:58.780 --> 14:05.580] it kind of taxpayer free and allowing those dollars to go at the very local level. [14:05.580 --> 14:09.500] For more, we welcome Kellogg Schwab, Professor of Water and Public Health at Johns Hopkins. [14:09.500 --> 14:13.580] He joins us from Baltimore, and it professors so interesting to hear the Governor's [14:13.580 --> 14:18.180] stress, you know, no tax dollars in a way that almost undermines the importance of the [14:18.180 --> 14:19.180] issue. [14:19.180 --> 14:21.460] Tax dollars could very well be directed to this. [14:21.460 --> 14:25.620] Are we missing the point or the importance of water safety? [14:25.620 --> 14:27.420] Water safety is incredibly important. [14:27.420 --> 14:32.300] A drink of clean, safe water from the tap is one of the most undervalued assets of American [14:32.300 --> 14:33.300] life. [14:33.300 --> 14:38.380] These climate change stressors, including extreme rain and drought, avoiding pressure on our [14:38.380 --> 14:43.420] existing water supplies, as well as in our aging drinking water and wastewater infrastructure [14:43.420 --> 14:47.100] that can affect public health and the business sector. [14:47.100 --> 14:51.500] So it's incredibly important that we engage together in finding these important solutions. [14:51.500 --> 14:54.500] Professor, how important is clean water for the economy? [14:54.500 --> 14:59.100] And how important is it to shape and frame it as an economic issue? [14:59.100 --> 15:03.580] It's incredibly important, Deloitte just recently put out a report, and when they said [15:03.580 --> 15:09.460] that there's a staggering 240,000 water main breaks per year in the United States, costing [15:09.460 --> 15:15.100] an estimated $2.4 billion, that's just to repair the leaks that doesn't have the [15:15.100 --> 15:18.300] important drivers of economic value of water. [15:18.300 --> 15:23.140] All of our sectors, not only households, but businesses, hospitals, even farming, rely [15:23.140 --> 15:28.820] on safe water, and we need to have that continued reliance and ability to have safe waters [15:28.820 --> 15:34.220] provided and adequate removal of a waste to have a thriving economy? [15:34.220 --> 15:37.460] I think there's an understanding that from an infrastructure point of view, there's a [15:37.460 --> 15:39.260] mountain to climb here regardless, right? [15:39.260 --> 15:42.780] Across North America, we have aging infrastructure that needs upgrading. [15:42.780 --> 15:46.380] Are we doing that in a way that's thoughtful about climate change? [15:46.380 --> 15:50.180] About the additional requirements we will face in the coming years? [15:50.180 --> 15:53.340] Yes, climate change brings that unknown factor. [15:53.340 --> 15:58.060] They're starting to understand we have an existing infrastructure of water, our pipes, [15:58.060 --> 16:00.660] that provide drinking water and wastewater removal. [16:00.660 --> 16:04.940] There's hundreds of thousands of miles of these pipes, so worth trillions of dollars, but sadly [16:04.940 --> 16:07.420] they're underground, they're ignored. [16:07.420 --> 16:10.980] And with that ignoring, we've also not repaired or replaced them. [16:10.980 --> 16:14.980] There's cost estimates anywhere from tens to hundreds of billions of dollars to maintain [16:14.980 --> 16:16.220] and repair them. [16:16.220 --> 16:20.740] If we put on top of that climate change with these increased stresses, we know that there [16:20.740 --> 16:24.900] will be variances in the amount of rain and amount of drought, and that will add to this [16:24.900 --> 16:25.900] problem. [16:25.900 --> 16:30.020] We have some solutions we can do, we can start figuring out better ways to appreciate [16:30.020 --> 16:35.100] the value of water, putting appropriate costs into it, and conserving water. [16:35.100 --> 16:37.660] And water use is an important part of that. [16:37.660 --> 16:41.580] How would you assess the Trump administration's policy on this front? [16:41.580 --> 16:47.100] Again, at the government level, it's important to realize that these are decades long challenges, [16:47.100 --> 16:51.340] and we also have to have solutions that are long-term, not short-term in there. [16:51.340 --> 16:55.780] So each administration has its own values and interest in there, but overall, the United [16:55.780 --> 17:01.780] States has built a very robust economy based in many parts on access to water and removal [17:01.780 --> 17:02.780] of waste. [17:02.780 --> 17:05.380] And those will continue to thrive and survive. [17:05.380 --> 17:10.540] These pivotations, that said, it is important to realize that there are federal regulations [17:10.540 --> 17:16.100] that allow us to drive both improving economic and public health sectors. [17:16.100 --> 17:20.220] And this is an important thing to continue to consider. [17:20.220 --> 17:25.460] Do you think that we are correctly or adequately addressing the fact that water is not [17:25.460 --> 17:29.860] at endlessly renewable resource, even there are already obviously parts of the world, but certainly [17:29.860 --> 17:34.060] parts of America, that are experiencing real water shortages in some of them are permanent [17:34.060 --> 17:35.060] nature. [17:35.060 --> 17:40.420] Are we on top of that issue as a live fact that we could have to deal with in our lifetime? [17:40.420 --> 17:42.060] I don't think we're quite there yet. [17:42.060 --> 17:47.180] Obviously, certain states, California, for example, Arizona, and even Florida are pushing [17:47.180 --> 17:48.180] water reuse. [17:48.180 --> 17:51.420] That's this idea that we can consider this as not a one-off. [17:51.420 --> 17:54.500] You can't just take water use if we're one thing and discard it. [17:54.500 --> 17:57.260] We have to consider part of our entire system. [17:57.260 --> 17:59.180] And we can all do better here in the East Coast. [17:59.180 --> 18:02.780] We've considered to have lots of water, but we're under water stress as well. [18:02.780 --> 18:08.020] So across the country, we need to continue to drive innovation and innovative ways that [18:08.020 --> 18:13.060] will improve not only water availability, but the business sectors, reduction of water [18:13.060 --> 18:14.060] use. [18:14.060 --> 18:15.940] And there is a market to be made in this. [18:15.940 --> 18:20.860] As we go forward, we have to be engaged in a way that can be proactive to produce high quality [18:20.860 --> 18:26.580] water, still relying on basic public health principles. [18:26.580 --> 18:28.700] At the end of the day, we'll all come down to cost, right? [18:28.700 --> 18:32.700] How much it would cost to actually make all of these improvements? [18:32.700 --> 18:34.380] Where would those funds come from? [18:34.380 --> 18:36.660] Yeah, that's a challenging question. [18:36.660 --> 18:40.500] What sadly happened is over the decades, we've ignored the true value of water. [18:40.500 --> 18:45.500] We built these pipes hundreds of years ago, decades ago, and then we haven't valued [18:45.500 --> 18:50.100] what it means to maintain that high quality water because the pipes are hidden in underground. [18:50.100 --> 18:54.220] Now raising water bills is an important part of that, but a tear of structure is important. [18:54.220 --> 18:58.020] We also need to consider that there's a business approach to this as well. [18:58.020 --> 19:00.140] At the government level, we do need to invest this. [19:00.140 --> 19:01.860] There's ideas of an infrastructure. [19:01.860 --> 19:02.860] You see the roads. [19:02.860 --> 19:07.980] You see the bridges, but within our pipe system, we have a need. [19:07.980 --> 19:12.100] And there's jobs we've made in this to push forward the resources that are allowed to have [19:12.100 --> 19:14.180] a thriving or competent economy. [19:14.180 --> 19:19.900] The American City of Ingenir, Civil, sorry, the American Civil Engineer Society has estimated [19:19.900 --> 19:24.820] that there's going to be a cost to the households of $46 billion over seven years and [19:24.820 --> 19:29.340] to the business sector, $440 billion. [19:29.340 --> 19:34.620] But there's also ways that we can have higher quality water that can improve both resources [19:34.620 --> 19:40.580] and provide jobs, estimated that 1.1 million jobs could be provided by having the sector [19:40.580 --> 19:43.260] be part of that economic thriving. [19:43.260 --> 19:45.860] Professor, thank you very much for joining us today.

[20:52.500 --> 20:56.500] Most US brokers offer nominal interest in their brokerage accounts. [21:00.500 --> 21:04.500] Move your account to Interactive brokers and start earning interest. [21:08.500 --> 21:10.500] OK. [21:10.500 --> 21:12.500] That's the trade idea of my firm. [21:12.500 --> 21:13.500] Same old lines. [21:13.500 --> 21:15.500] I mean, show me some technical indicators. [21:15.500 --> 21:17.500] The proprietary research is something. [21:17.500 --> 21:18.500] That's why I like Schwab. [21:18.500 --> 21:20.500] They help look out for you blind spots. [21:20.500 --> 21:22.500] Come on, Johnny. You got this, buddy. [21:22.500 --> 21:24.500] Speaking of blind spots. [21:24.500 --> 21:27.500] It's time to trade up. Schwab helps you see the full picture [21:27.500 --> 21:30.500] with powerful intel and trading specialists who get it.

[21:38.500 --> 21:41.500] Commodity investing is more than by gold and oil. [21:41.500 --> 21:44.500] From coffee and corn to cattle and natural gas, [21:44.500 --> 21:47.500] many sectors drive the commodity markets. [21:47.500 --> 21:50.500] And the Bloomberg Commodity Index covers them all. [21:50.500 --> 21:53.500] With exposure across 23 traded commodities, [21:53.500 --> 21:56.500] Bloomberg is the standard for diversification in commodity markets. [21:56.500 --> 22:00.500] With full transparency, measure and monitor your investment performance [22:00.500 --> 22:03.500] against the benchmark used by commodity professionals globally. [22:03.500 --> 22:07.500] More than gold and oil, the Bloomberg Commodity Index. [22:12.500 --> 22:15.500] This is Bloomberg Markets. I'm Amanda Lange Toronto. [22:15.500 --> 22:17.500] Terry Reyon in New York. [22:17.500 --> 22:21.100] Justemy is canceling the mobile world [22:21.100 --> 22:25.500] Congress in Barcelona 2020 due to global concern over the coronavirus outbreak. [22:25.500 --> 22:30.500] Justemy C. or John Houghman says the spread of the deadly virus makes it impossible to hold [22:30.500 --> 22:33.500] the event for more. [22:33.500 --> 22:36.500] welcome our government of Bloomberg technology from Los Angeles Mark. [22:36.500 --> 22:40.500] So was this just inevitable given a number of companies that are already pulled out [22:40.500 --> 22:43.500] including those careeers were supposed to be the buyers [22:43.500 --> 22:46.940] Exactly, Inventible is the best way to explain it. [22:46.940 --> 22:49.860] We've been anticipating this for the past few days. [22:49.860 --> 22:52.420] You've had basically every major player who [22:52.420 --> 22:54.540] would have been at the conference of Barcelona. [22:54.540 --> 22:57.620] Either pulling out or pressuring the GSMA, [22:57.620 --> 23:00.500] the parent company of this MWC conference, [23:00.500 --> 23:05.060] to pull out, we saw Sprint in 18T yesterday, Qualcomm, [23:05.060 --> 23:07.820] what was just awaiting this announcement to happen. [23:07.820 --> 23:10.060] They're one of the bigger players there. [23:10.060 --> 23:12.540] Some of the companies like Samsung and Huawei [23:12.540 --> 23:15.340] privately have scaled back, which executives [23:15.340 --> 23:16.740] they were going to send. [23:16.740 --> 23:19.700] You saw calendar invites being canceled for meetings [23:19.700 --> 23:20.940] that were being set up. [23:20.940 --> 23:22.780] So this was bound to happen. [23:22.780 --> 23:24.340] And for sure, the right decision, [23:24.340 --> 23:26.900] because they really had no other option. [23:26.900 --> 23:30.420] The other side of this, however, is the significant economic impact. [23:30.420 --> 23:33.180] This is going to have on the city of Barcelona, [23:33.180 --> 23:36.580] which has been preparing to host this thing for several months now. [23:36.580 --> 23:39.540] Industry, they are hotels, restaurants, [23:39.540 --> 23:40.300] different activities. [23:40.300 --> 23:42.820] People would be engaging with from this conference. [23:42.820 --> 23:45.820] But also the budgets that were set aside by these companies [23:45.820 --> 23:48.940] in order to put on this conference in attendance conference. [23:48.940 --> 23:52.100] Now, that all has to be worked out as well. [23:52.100 --> 23:54.620] So obviously, the recent direct pain, as you know, [23:54.620 --> 23:56.300] to Barcelona and the conference organizers, [23:56.300 --> 23:59.340] may be some savings on the part of the businesses that don't go. [23:59.340 --> 24:02.100] But what about some of the intangibles impacts here, Mark, [24:02.100 --> 24:04.460] of the collaborations that don't happen, [24:04.460 --> 24:07.180] the sales that don't get made, the ideas that don't get sparked. [24:07.180 --> 24:09.220] I mean, how do we measure any of that? [24:09.220 --> 24:11.260] Yeah, I mean, immediately the way to measure this [24:11.260 --> 24:14.380] is basically these are a bunch of business deals and meetings [24:14.380 --> 24:16.580] that would just not happen otherwise. [24:16.580 --> 24:20.220] But on the other side of the coin, it's 2020, right? [24:20.220 --> 24:22.620] But that means is a lot of these important meetings [24:22.620 --> 24:24.620] are likely to get rescheduled pretty quickly, [24:24.620 --> 24:26.900] whether that's be a conference call or phone call [24:26.900 --> 24:28.980] or meetings elsewhere. [24:28.980 --> 24:31.980] The good news is travel and digital communication [24:31.980 --> 24:33.300] of so simple these days. [24:33.300 --> 24:36.820] So my wager would be if there was to be a super critical meeting [24:36.820 --> 24:38.700] between a company and a partner, [24:38.700 --> 24:41.220] it's going to happen anyways, one way or another. [24:41.220 --> 24:43.500] So I don't think the impact is that severe, [24:43.500 --> 24:46.660] if you really sit down and think about it on that aspect. [24:46.660 --> 24:49.820] My German Bloomberg technology, thank you very much for joining [24:49.820 --> 24:51.420] us with the latest on the cancellation [24:51.420 --> 24:54.820] of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. [24:54.820 --> 24:57.900] And Amanda, it was a great day to be Korean [24:57.900 --> 25:01.420] when I saw the Paraside made history at the Oscars this week. [25:01.420 --> 25:04.780] They want that coveted best picture of word [25:04.780 --> 25:08.260] the first ever in the Oscars history given [25:08.260 --> 25:10.580] that it was a foreign language film, right? [25:10.580 --> 25:12.500] So it was really an amazing day. [25:12.500 --> 25:14.620] But it wasn't just whom Juneau that the director [25:14.620 --> 25:17.500] of their celebrating was also a Korean hedge fund [25:17.500 --> 25:20.380] investing around $500,000 in the film. [25:20.380 --> 25:22.740] And remember, there's only costs 11 million to make, [25:22.740 --> 25:25.860] but then you break $165 million. [25:25.860 --> 25:31.500] So given how the type of reception that it's received, [25:31.500 --> 25:35.260] you can just imagine how well the hedge fund could do. [25:35.260 --> 25:37.380] And this GTV chart on the Bloomberg also showing you [25:37.380 --> 25:40.580] that patterns on the washer of this film, [25:40.580 --> 25:42.940] they gained what, like 90% of this week. [25:42.940 --> 25:43.780] Take a look at that. [25:43.780 --> 25:44.940] Amazing. [25:44.940 --> 25:47.540] A lot of people who had the potential to help [25:47.540 --> 25:49.500] by distribute this film and passed on it. [25:49.500 --> 25:51.180] Of course, now kicking themselves. [25:51.180 --> 25:52.660] Share it to Canadians. [25:52.660 --> 25:56.100] About 22 hours to make a claim to this film. [25:56.100 --> 25:58.700] One of the actors, the guy that plays the son, [25:58.700 --> 26:00.380] is actually Korean Canadian. [26:00.380 --> 26:02.580] He spent some of his childhood here at Wont University here. [26:02.580 --> 26:04.900] So we're claiming a piece of this, too. [26:04.900 --> 26:05.700] We're both our. [26:05.700 --> 26:10.700] Remember, Bloomberg users can interact with all the charts [26:10.700 --> 26:11.700] to see on the network. [26:11.700 --> 26:14.500] GTV Go is your function from Toronto and New York. [26:14.500 --> 26:15.500] This is Bloomberg. [26:15.500 --> 26:38.500] Good Night!

[27:59.700 --> 28:05.700] So, I've spent my life developing technology to help the visually impaired. [28:05.700 --> 28:13.700] Wait, peer-to-guide, let use this IBM Watson to help the blind. [28:13.700 --> 28:16.700] It is already working in cities like Tokyo. [28:16.700 --> 28:22.700] My dream is to help mere more people like me. [28:22.700 --> 28:23.700] Attention. [28:23.700 --> 28:28.700] The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has officially authorized new benefits that Medicare [28:28.700 --> 28:30.700] advantage plans may include.
