US dot index Future is declining on the final trading day of the year as financial markets close out the worst year in more than a decade
for global equities and bonds. We check the markets all day long here on Bloomberg s and P Futures or down about four tenths of upper cent or fifteen points down, futures down a third of upper cent or a hundred nine points, and as dack features down four tens of uppercent for forty six points. Ten year treasury down nine thirty seconds. You know three point eight four percent That yield on the two year four point three eight percent.

Bloomberg business flash, John Karen, thanks a lot. That brings us to six fifties six on Wall Street. Time to take a look at some of the stocks and names that are moving to the pre market. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg, Radio and TV Markets corresponded pretty grouped. For the new year, I resolve to be a little less focused on some of the specific names and more focused on sectors a worthy cause, I think a worthy
resolution for sure. I would say that because I just I don't know, there's nothing that really stands out and excites me this morning. Yeah, I think that's fair. I mean, look you, I'm looking at the SPI right now to five and five stocks that are training. There only four that are in the green right now, so pretty broad sell off when you look at it. Some of the worst performing companies are actually in the biotech space, there, in the commodity space, there in the uh kind of
um airline space. The ones that were rebounding or had little pockets of green this week are all selling off.
Today's your worst performer. For example, this morning in pre market trading's Norwegian Cruise Lines and c l H down one point seven percent, and it's joined by some of the other kind of volatility players think Airlines, Cruise Lines, American Airlines is up there as well, a L down one two percent, as well as some of the casino names UM which have that exposure to China, which have also been kind of a volatility play as of late. LVS is for Las Vegas Sands down about one percent
as well. So you can see, uh, the ones that are the most volatile are the ones that are selling off the most surprise. Surprise, but there is some green on the screen. Like I mentioned, there are two actually kind of interesting stories. We have to talk about Tesla because Tesla is making its rebound again third day in
a row. T s l a UM up about seven tenths of one percent, and by the way, it is now the biggest mover this morning, but not far behind it is Murk and this is actually a fundamental story. On the last trading day of the year, m r K chairs are up about seven tenths of one sent and by the way, seeing the most volume in the pre market. That title usually goes to Tesla. So today
Mark actually getting in. This coming after China approves Mark's COVID therapy given that they have a shortage of drugs, so they've approved Mark's COVID nineteen anti viral for emergency use. And of course this comes after Beijing is looking to expand and really accelerate their reopening. They have their own drugs, but they're not m R and A based and there's some anecdotal evidence to suggest that those vaccines in China
aren't really great. And this is Remember this isn't the vaccine, this is the like if you get covid, how you treat So it's the Mark. But I remember they had already cleared Pax Slovid from fiser Um earlier this year because there were last trading day of the year. I was, I guess yesterday might qualify for Santa Claus rally. I suppose we heard so much about the tax harvesting year of does that account for some of the selling? Well, we don't know. I think something you have to wait,
check with my accountant. Yeah, like see see if he did something something there? But you mentioned the Santa rally, I mean look out of the last five trading days of the year, only two in the green TV markets corresponded Crittic Group to thanks and looking at stocks as a whole right now ahead of they can't show up in SMB futures down fifteen points, the DAL futures one hundred fourteen points lower, and the anzac Emity futures right now are down forty eight points for Critty.

Karen sixty three on Wall Street timed out to check what's going on at d C. Some of the top stories in the nation's capital, include Sam Bankman free meeting with Biden aids in the pre
collapse crypto push. There are increasing calls for Representative elect George Santos to call it quits, and Democrats preparing to release years of former President Trump's tax returns, the US sending billions in a to Ukraine as Russia ramps up attacks on the country. Let's take a deeper dive into some of these stories this morning with Terry Haynes, founder of Pangea Policy, joining us now to talk about those
latest stories in DC. Always welcome to the last training day of the yearth Terry Haynes, And what do you here? It's Ben um So who wants to be associated with Sam Bankman freeed raise your hands? Oh nobody? Um he was at the White House or apparently meeting with some White House officials, So um so what gives? And uh Democrats Republican is gonna make hey out of this? Well, first, Happy New Year to you and everybody on day break, John,
thank you for having me. I appreciate it. The the well, sure, I mean, hey, hey will be made so let's stipulate that. But look, you know, Bankman Fried ran around for a couple of years, uh, throwing money all over the place in Washington, and any time, Uh, you know, you've got a donor who's shoes, who turns into the second biggest donor in the mid terms, lots of people are gonna
want to meet with him. Uh. So, you know, meetings were hat But at the same time, I don't think that Bankmund Freed made any headway on anything that Bankman Freed cared ab out to me. You know, certainly he's he's in a heap of trouble regardless of any meetings he had in Washington. Firstly, Secondly, uh, there was no you know, there's a lot of bally who about uh, you know, him wanting a particular sort of regulatory regime
for crypto. There was never any uh, any likelihood that cryptil legislation was going to pass in the now dying current Congress. Uh. You know, nobody for for one simple reason,
nobody agrees on what should be done. And the arguments that you presented about fifteen minutes ago with uh with Connressman Sherman and Congressman mckenry showed that on the one hand, you've got uh Mr Sherman, who wants to talk about, you know, sort of not regulating cryptio at all and walling and off from the you know, kind of the
real system. On the other hand, uh, soon to be chairman mckenry makes a very good point that, uh, you know, you're gonna have a situation where if you ignore this stuff and wallowed off, well then you know, somebody's somebody's gonna be hurt in different ways and we're gonna be behind on the responsible regulation of the stuff. And that really shows, uh, just how far apart everybody is on crypto. So you know, net Net, uh, I think hey will be made bankman free, thrown around a lot of money here.
You know, there's a lot of uh you know, nobody wants to be seen with him, of course, and people are gonna have to start giving the money back they haven't already. But you know, it's I think it's a non story compared to the bigger, the bigger fraud. Okay, here's another story that seems to keep on giving increasing calls for George Santos to call it quits even before
he's sworn into Congress. Um. The Times had a peace um highlighting, among other things, usual disbursements, documenting us documented in his campaign filings. Where does this go? Um? Where this goes is that you know when last week talked, you know, mere days ago, I think about mrs and more revelations have come out since then. Yeah, yeah, exactly when you know, it seemed, uh, it seem sort of comic.
And you know now he's being mentioned more and more with the same breath with with people like SPF and Elizabeth Holmes of Toronto's. Uh. What I said then was that I thought he served a maximum of one term and uh and probably less. And I'll i'll say today that you know that I think we're trending strongly towards the probably much less. Uh, and he's probably out of office within a couple of months. You've got a clearer,
clearer picture now, you've got at least three investigations. You'll have the NASA DA which has started, the U S attorney in Brooklyn is rumored to be looking around at some things. And you know, if he gets sworn in, uh, you know, Congress I think almost certainly will launch an investigation on him quickly. You've got all these questions, which again you you talked about earlier in the hours, so I won't the labor them. But you know, this is gonna be death by a thousand paper cuts for Mr
Santos pretty quickly. Where's this money come from? Who are you really all this sort of stuff? And uh, and you know he's not going to be around long frankly. Uh. You know the party, his own parties cut them loose. The other sides, Uh, the other side's trash and him and you know, the big unknowns for me at this point really come down to, you know, in the election, where was his opponent? The stuff was all out there, not really hard to figure out, So I don't know
what opposition research was doing there. The press wasn't doing very much locally anyway. And you know, his own party apparently it's some sort of an open secret uh in some Republican orders that uh, you know a lot of this stuff was not exactly on the up and up. So there's gonna be a lot of people having a lot to answer for. Um. And let's do this in fifteen seconds when the Trump tax returns it released by Democrats today, big fewer or dies on the vine or
what resounding that I think? Uh, you know, so much of this uh, the Trump stuff by maocrats and I'm by no means the trop apologist. So much of this stuff is uh, you know, kind of years too late to make much of a difference to anybody but the base. Who will you know, a hal a few things and that will be it. Terry, thanks as always, and again Happy New Year. Thanks for being here, founder of Pangea Policy and you can read more about these stories on

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Questions over crypto legislation being raised in the wake of the collapse of the f t X, as a new report that says the co founder, Sam Bankman Freed held at least four meetings with senior White House officials this year, part of a push the influenced crypto policy. Democratic Counsel Representative brand Sherman, a member of the House of Financial Services Committee, is weighing in on the issue. In an interview with Bloomberg's Madison Mills. You
made your views really crystal clear with that quote. But I wonder is this a chicken or an egg thing? Could regulation have prevented the bad actor here? I think regulation could have been somewhat helpful. But ultimately, when you send your money to Bahamas or Cayman Islands, it's for
the purpose of evading US law. I mean, though, you know, Cayman Islands might have be a good place to snorkele, but if you choose to bank there or the Bahamas, they're you're you're You're seeking to evade the very laws that would, on the one hand, enforce our our tax laws, on the other hand, protect investors. Some of those investors get a little shaky about legislation because every time Congress discusses it, they lose a little bit more money. The
market doesn't like regulation like that. So what is your message to the crypto fans on your position? This is an enterprise which will probably sail, but if it succeeds in it's purpose, its purpose is to create a new currency which will disadvantage the average American. It's purpose is to have a new currency that competes with the dollar by offering one purported advantage. It's right there in the name cryptocurrency hidden money, and I don't think we need
hidden money. I think we need transparent financial transactions. It's interesting because that you again make your positioning very clear, but some of your colleagues on the Hill have very different opinions. I interviewed Representative Patrick McHenry on cryptoregulation, and here is what he had to say about the risks of that regulation. He was taking advantage of UH a
lack of clarity and regulation. But we have to understand the US is that we do have an open digital border UM and new products will emerge, and if we don't have a regulatory regime and a rule of law that is enforced around UH this new technology, UM, we're gonna have our our consumers fall victim to the worst actors globally. Does the US miss a chance to be a world leader by overregulating crypto? We would lose a chance to be a world leader in hidden money, which
is exactly what cryptocurrency means. We lose a chance to help wealthy people evade our tax laws. We lose a chance for people like Sam Bankman freed to evade our bankruptcy courts. We make it easier for husbands who are planning to leave their wives to hide moneys from our family courts. This is what innovation is offering us. And it also offers a chance for people to bet that, well, I'm not leaving my wife, I'm not cheating on my taxes.
But I want to bet that this becomes such a useful tool that I can sell it to somebody who does want to use it for those purposes and make a profit. That's Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman speaking with Madison Mills on Bloomberg Sat Down.

You're listening to Bloomberg Daybreak live from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, d C. Nationwide on Sirius x them the Bloomberg business appened Bloomberg dot com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak and good morning. I'm John Tucker. The NMP five hundready enjoyed the best day this month yesterday, the jump at one. Still on this final trading day, we're closing out the worst year in
more than a decade for global equities and bonds. On that, but let's get you a set up for the trading day ahead well with Josh Wine, portfolio manager at Hennessey Funds. Josh, thanks for being with us this morning. Did that? Yes, they count as the year end Santa Clause rally. It felt it. It was it was a big day. Good morning, John. Yeah, it felt like maybe a new year's resolution, which maybe was broadly, you know, let's get back into stocks, let's
start the year strong. Uh. You know, given where we are in the market, I think it makes sense. I think I think next year is gonna look a lot different than this year. Okay, so what's in the driver's seat right now for risk assets? Sure? Yeah, I think you know, amidst the backdrop of a tenure at three eight in the mar Get creating at sixteen times give or take forward earnings, which would imply about a six percent earnings field, I think the market is set up
nicely for for a big year. I think any any of the froth or or any of the optimism that was in the market may be unwarranted. This year, I think is out and I think that we're at a good place. I think that the differential between an earning field of roughly six and a ten year of three eight, you know that that's spread of over two percent. That's
pretty compelling. I think over time that has that has presaged a big run in the market and I think that this year, you know, definitely we could see that you know once again, well with respect to earnings. Sure, at the end of the day, it's all about how much money you're making it in an individual stock company. But the sort of damically sort of hanging over everything is a FED policy at this front. How do you balance the two? Right? Yeah, I mean the FED has
has obviously been making up for lost time. They've been very you know, vigilant, and I think it makes sense. I mean, we can argue about were they to accommodative and and where they you know, at the backs of of investors, and it seems like in retrospect they were. But I'm not so sure. I think that you know, the market we've had, you know, in the last few months, a few small rallies ahead of the SAID saying oh no, we're not pivoting or we're not changing our language and
all that. I think the market has thought that the said was starting to nail it, and the SAID repeatedly has said no, we're not done until until we're done. And so I think that, you know, we are getting closer. We we've seen better numbers, you know on inflation. Uh, you know, if there's a fear. It's that you know, they might you know, solve the inflation problem, but not necessarily the price level of problem. I think that you know, things like rents and housing prices, which go somewhat hand
in hand you have been quite high. And I think that you know, you know, income has not kept pace with that, as well as other things that have accelerated in price. So I think that we could see some great inflation prints. It doesn't necessarily the me it does not necessarily mean that the economy in the market starts, you know, running away. I think that, you know, there is a case to be made that you know, we need lower prices, not just prices that go up at
a lower rate. So but all that being said, I think they have fed, you know, end of year in twenty three. You know, if if we are, in fact we can get a recession, they have some room to cut and and you know kind of react that way, which is something that they didn't have for the last couple of years. Is are we on the trajectory to up pivot? I mean, whatever that means at this point, and what's the timing of that. You're seemed to be saying that we're going to see rate cuts at the
end of the year. Well, I think it's certainly a possibility. I think no one thought that was a possibility this year obviously, but I think that next year, yes, I mean, I think if there's one thing that surprised me more than inflation or anything else that's been you know, the employment picture, you know, you know job you know, all
these jobs reports. I think everyone has scratched their head a little bit, you know, because we've seen some layoffs from large cap companies, and certainly that takes some time to work through to the unemployment numbers. But in any event, I think employment has been very strong. It's hard to imagine that that holds up, uh in the first half of the year, given what we see with you know, kind of the reversal of this wealth of sect that we've had, you know, the market and crypto and real estate.
Everything has come in uh certainly not bullish for the economy. Uh. Perhaps bullish for the market if the said ends up cutting rates at some point soon. But I think that you know, employment uh inevitably must reverse, it would seem.
I don't think that's you know, going too far out on the limb so I think, yeah, I think the economy, uh, you know, I think we're gonna have a bad economic news is good market news environment at some point during this year, which you know, Jimmy feels more normal than than bad news or good news. Is is irrelevant in terms of what the said. Does you know we knew that they were going to raise rates no matter what, and they have. Josh, thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
