The decline came after the Federal Reserve signal to more aggressive timeline for interest rate hikes. Brian Levitt is a global strategist at Investco. The early stages of a tightening cycle, and as we know, it's usually not the first rate hike that matters, it's

usually the last one. And even though we're dealing with this today, as we often do, when we start to see signs for the first move. I still think we're a long ways away from nat West rate hip that ends the cycle. Investco Global strategist Brian Levitt says he sees this sell off as a buying opportunity. Tenure treasury yields this morning or trading at their highest level since April and Nathan the text sell off continued in Asia over night. Japan led the decline as then nick sled

two point eight percent. Let's get the details from Bloomberg's Juliette Sally and Singapore. Good morning, Juliette, Good morning, Karen. The m s c I Asia Pacific Index fell for a third session in full, with the gauge of tech shares among the worst performing. The hang SENGG Tech index fell for a fourth day. Yield spiked, with Japan's tenure

at its highest since April. Japanese equity suffered their worst day since June, while Australia's market had its worst day in eleven months and Hong Kong reopening stocks were here as the city imposed tighter restrictions for the first time in almost a year. In Singapore, Juliet Sally Bloomberg daybreak all right, Juliette. Thank you. We're also watching bitcoin trade at its lowest level since December's flash crash. Right now, it's at forty two thousand, six hundred forty dollars. Let's

get the latest from Bloomberg's Nita Young. Rinita Nathan the fifth hawk is tilt saw Bitcoin fall by about thirty five hundred dollars. Other cryptals like Ether and finance coin also slumped to lowe's not seen since October. Bitcoins climb over the past few years coincided with strong stimulus measures by the FIT. Now the question is how will it react as the central bank pulls back on accommodation. Since it's all time high in November, bitcoin is down about

twenty Nita Young, Bloomberg Daybreak, Thanks Rinita. Turning to the pandemic. Now, we have a new recommendation on booster shots are in the CDC Agency advisors say vaccinated team should now get a third do sudvisor's shot, and Bloomberg said Baxter has the story. The panel says it's important for twelve to seventeen year olds to get vaccinated to keep schools open. This has twelve to fifteen year olds to the advisory

already in place. Dr Rochelle Lensky has final say, but has said that it's important to try and cut the severity of all macrod and she says the spread of A macron has gone up in a straight line. Based on CDC genomic sequencing, we now estimate that O macron represents about percent of cases in the country. Says it's important for teens to get boosted. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Daybreak. Thanks, and we continue to see

the impact of O macron on the healthcare system. US hospitals are facing their worst staffing shortage in a year. According to the Department of Health and Human Services data, about twenty percent of hospitals report critical staffing levels. That's the most since December. Meantime, tennis star Novak Djokovic is making waves off the court. His chance to play for

a tenth Australian Open title is in limbo. The country denied him entry and canceled his visa because he failed to meet requirements for an exemption to COVID vaccination rules. And Scott Morrison is the Prime Minister of Australia rules rules and there are no special cases entry with a visa requires double vaccination or I medical exemption. I'm advised that such an exemption was not in place and as a result he is subject to the sign rule as

anyone else. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison denies any suggestion that Djokovic is being singled out. Well the pandemics effect on the labor markets and focus as well, Karen. We're gonna get data on jobless claims plus trade and services activity this morning. Bloomberg's Viney del Judas reports economists a weekly jobless claims will probably halt their half century lows as employers filled record job openings. The labor market has

scored a solid recovery since the pandemic crash. Meantime, November's trade Davis could tire record as domestic demand rebounds. Also today, data on America's service industry should signal growth, though not as robust as November, when the I s M Non Manufacturing index set a record. Finny Judai Sploomberg Day Break, Finny, thank you, Fed Policy front and center. But there's also

other news on the Central Bank. Sources tell us President Biden could pick former Governor Sarah bloom Rashkin for the Central Banks top regulatory post became more from Bloombergh Sterley Pillet. It's a move that would please senators demanding swift action on climate change. Senator Sheldon white House, who has been active on the climate issue, tweeted that a Raskin nomination as the FEDS Vice Chair for Supervision would be quote

good news. The Rhode Island Democrats says Raskin really gets it on climate, and Senator Ben Cardon of Maryland predicts Raskin will be easily confirmed in New York. Charlie Peate Bloomberg day Break, Thanks Charlie, and speaking of climate, we have a new entry into the electric vehicle market. General Motors is introducing a battery powered pickup truck. CEO Mary Barra showed off the new Chevrolet Silverado at CES in

Las Vegas. Meantime, when it comes to the overall industry, Bara says, the chip shortage is easy but still isn't resolved. I would say every quarter it gets a little bit better, and so we're seeing a better Q one than Q four, but we still think it's going to linger into the first half of this year, and we should be farther out of it by the end of this year, but we're not through it yet. G M CEO Mary Barra made those comments in an interview with Bloomberg's David Weston.

You can catch the full conversation at bloomberg dot com. Futures holding study at the moment. Straight ahead your latest local headlines in the check of sports. This is Bloomberg and it's five oh seven on Wall Street. We've got an accident investigation into Jericho Turnpike by Herrick's Road in Nasau County. Details coming up shortly from Peter Van.

nain Than. Americans are preparing to day to mark of one year anniversary of the Capitol riot. President Joe Biden plans to speak about unity to a politically fractured nation. Yesterday, US Attorney General Merrick Garland spoke about the attack.

The National Weather Services put a winter weather advisory and effect for the Tristate area from midnight tonight through noon tomorrow. Storm system passing south of the region will produced snow around midnight tonight, should end by

midday tomorrow. Tracks still a little bit up in the air, as is the strength, so right now it looks like at least a couple of inches as possible for the Tri State area. Will probably be refining the numbers over the next twenty four hours, but I could see at least one to three inches across the city, maybe a little bit more north and west of town. Michael, Thank you, Rob.

New York City Health Commissioner Dave Chotsky said the COVID data suggests the city hasn't yet hit a peak in the omicron fueled spike of corunavirus cases in recent weeks. Chotsky says cases are still increasing because we are seeing unprecedented case counts during this amicron wave, as you know, over thirty cases a day on the seven day average, and we are seeing the impact in our hospitals. Dr Chotsky encouraged New Yorkers to continue getting booster shots and

wear masks. New York Governor Kathy HOCl gave her first State of the State address. Her plans put health at the top of the to do list, including a ten billion dollar increase for the medical workforce. A once in a lifetime pandemic demands once in a lifetime response, and that's why I'm setting an ambitious goal to grow our healthcare workforce by over the next five years. Governor HOCl

also called for investments in housing and renewable energy. The judge in Galaane Maxwell sex trafficking trial ass prosecutors and defense lawyers the briefer on whether a new trial is needed over media comments made by a juror.

The team had originally said they didn't want them at all, that was gonna be only for games on the road. They changed their mind, and Kyrie s for twenty two points in thirty two minutes, held Brooklyn to have come from behind one victory. So nervous, U naturally, you know, as

d twenty countries. Michael Barr, this is Bloomberg Naked. Michael, thank you. It's five nineteen on Wall Street, Live from the Bloomberg Interactor Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. On this January six, a year to the day of a dark moment in this country, the Deadly Capital Insurrection. One year ago today, President Biden plans to mark this anniversary with a new push for voting rights and a blistering critique a former President Donald Trump. For more, we're joined

by Greg Valier, chief US policy strategist at a GF Investments. Greg, thanks for being with us on this morning as we reflect on what was a very dark day for this country. The polarization doesn't seem to have gone away over the last year. Has anything changed since January six? Well, regrettably, Nathan, No, I don't think a lot of change. Trump still has tremendous support within his own party. He gets to choose who are the nominees, and a lot of key races.

I do think this committee investigating the riot may come up with some proposals like changing the electoral vote come maybe even referring this to the Justice Department for prosecution. But at the same time, I don't think that there will be dramatic changes coming out of this very ugly,

ugly day. From what we understand from the White House, President Biden, when he speaks later this morning from the US Capital, is going to point the finger at former President Trump, calling him singularly responsible for what happened on January six. Why could a pivot back to focusing on

former President Trump mean for this current presidency. Well, this current president is in real trouble, probably going to lose the House in the fall, under fire for his handling of a very confusing rhetoric on COVID, under fire for inflation, under fire for immigration, urban crime, you name it. So

the Democrats need, I think, something to rally around. And there is that three hour period Nathan, during the riot where Donald Trump apparently just watched television happily looking at the rioters, thinking that maybe there was still a chance he could retain the presidency. There's a lot of emails that would confirm that, and I think that the Democrats will will try to get those popular sized and of course that points back to the work that's happening with

the January sixth Committee. You mentioned the possibility of more criminal referrals. Do you think that that really could go as far up as former President Trump himself potentially facing at least the possibility of criminal prosecution. Yes, I do, and I think that even if that doesn't happen, Nathan, there's a tidal wave of litigation coming at Trump now.

His specialty is delaying and delaying and delaying, and it may not affect him right away, but I think this crush of litigation is making some Republicans, not the majority, but some Republican moderates think that Trump could be more troubled than he's worth in the next couple of years. But that at the same time, as you mentioned, former President Trump does still have this hold on the Republican Party as it stands now. Do you expect that to continue?

What even with the possibility of potential criminal action against Well, he's raising a ton of money. Good story in the New York Times yesterday about his fundraising and about a big rally he plans for February twenty three at Mara Lago.

So he's aggressively running, and while he does, I think most Republican contenders for the presidency in are going to be frozen unwilling to take him on now last minute here, Greg, we're expecting that there's going to be a lot more focused now on voting rights legislation, tying what happened on January six to a push for voting rights reform at the federal level. Do you see momentum for that? What could it mean for the rest of President Biden's domestic agenda,

particularly the economic side. Well, Frankly, I don't get Chuck Schumer saying that he's going to vote on this. He doesn't have the votes to change to have voting reform that ironically would get filibustered, So I don't think he's

going to succeed there. There could be a renewed effort for more fiscal spending coming out of the variant, and I think in the next few days one of the intriguing stories will be whether the Democrats come up with still another bill that would spend more for for restaurants, hotels, and maybe even include a child tax credit. Yeah, talking about the possibility of yet more coronavirus related stimulus. On the business side, Greg Valiere as always good to have

your insights, particularly on a day like this. Greg Valier's chief US policy strategist at a GF Investments. Looking ahead to the market open um, starting to see a pickup in futures now with SMP futures up five points, doubt futures up seventy NASTAC futures giving back quite a few of their losses. They're down now only four points in the tenure treasury yield one point seven three per cent.

Just to add more on the sharp market reactions of the Fed minutes and teams, a step posted of fiser boosters.

You're trading near the highest level since April after the FED signal the more aggressive timeline for interest rate hikes. Brian Levitt is a global strategist at Investco. We should expect volatility to return to markets when we get unexpected results at a central bankers, so that tends to be we're draw downs and volatility emerges out of unexpected policy

decisions and policy uncertainty. Invest Goo global strategist Bryan Levitt says he sees this sell off as a buying opportunity. We caught up in yesterday's sell off, Karen, the so called meme stocks. We get more on that side of the market from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett, AMC down eleven percent, games stop down, and that helps send the basket of meme stocks tracked by Bloomberg to its lowest closed since January twenty one, when the market was swept up in

At the Department of Justice, Garland held a moment of silence for the law enforcement officers who died related to the attack. New York City Health Commissioner Dr Dave Chotsky said the COVID data suggests the city hasn't yet hit a peak in the omicron fueled spike of coronavirus cases in recent weeks. Chotsky says the impact of gatherings at

New Year's could still fuel another uptick.

On January second, New York Governor Kathy Hoco delivered her first State of the State address, outlining an agenda for an economic comeback

from the pandemic, housing and renewable energy. Hocal also says she will accelerate tax cuts for middle class New Yorkers.

grow the state's healthcare workforce by over the next five years. Meanwhile, the governor is calling on state lawmakers to legalize the sale of to go alcoholic drinks to keep bars and

The following is an editorial from Bloomberg Opinion. In the years since the j Your Very sixth attack on the U. S. Capitol, the government has responded better than might have been expected.

Law enforcement agencies have charged at least seven hundred participants, Congressional investigators have interviewed hundreds of witnesses, and federal courts have resisted efforts by former President Donald Trump to deny Congress access to documents and testimony. Such progress shows the resilience of America's democratic institutions. It also underscores the need for the House Select Committee investigating the attack to quickly

complete its inquiry. Its chair, Representative Benny Thompson, has said the panel only plans to release interim findings by the summer. That risks extending the probe deep into The committee should instead complete its work and issue an unredacted public report well ahead of the November midterm elections.

I'm Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg. Nathan.

All right, Michael, Thanks, It's forty nine on Wall Street Life from the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak as we continue to gather reaction to the Fed minutes. Were joined this morning, Pie or a House, senior economist at Wells Fargo. Sarah, it's good to have you with

us this morning. It was very interesting to see the market reaction yesterday, particularly given the fact that we didn't see the same kind of reaction when the Fed actually sped up the taper, but the release of the minutes really seems to have cut investors off guard. What did you make of it? So? I thought we saw that the Fed was was willing to adapt more quickly to the evolving conditions that that we're seeing them certainly last cycle, but even over the past year. So there's this recognition

that inflation is more persistent. But also I think they're in a much happier place with where the labor market is, and so I think that's all pointing towards an earlier lift off and faster pace of tightening. So you're thinking this isn't much as so much a hawkish tilt as a as a real hawkish pivot. Then I think we

we saw that with the with the dot plot. But I think the minutes really codified what they were looking at, what they what they were seeing, and I think one thing that really underscored just how much quicker this this tightening period is likely to be, is is a lengthy discussion on the balance to you run off. So when do you think we will start to see rates take off?

Do you think the March meeting is live? I think it's certainly live if you look at what beneficials have been saying, but also just where the where the economy is. So you know, we're looking for the unemployment rate to hit four percent and the jobs report that we get out tomorrow, so that's well within the range of what the FED considers is normal over over the long run.

And we already have inflation, of course, running well above the FETs target and looking like it's not going to do to come down to resemble the FETs target until probably at least at the earliest. And so I think that the Fed is is really racing to calibrate policy to to this higher inflation as well as this tighter labor market environment. When you say the Feds racing, are you opening the possibility that we could see a policy

mistake from the Fed. Well, I think we've seen of fairly quick recalibration of of the situation, so I think that does mitigate the chance of a policy mistake. So if the Fed were to follow through on the three rate increases that's been currently sketched out in the dot plot, I think that would help mitigate that that chance. And I think we also have to bear in mind that the U s economy is is set to moderate over this year already, and so it's going to be a

little bit of learning learning as they go. But I think overall, um coming out of this to SMB, the medium there in a much better position. Of Course, it's not just about rate hikes, as we saw from the minutes particularly, it's about the balance sheet unwind. When do you think that's going to start to happen. It could have happen as rates are rising. Well, I think we

certainly could see that occur as right a rising. We saw that in the last cycle, so they did get a few rate hikes under their belt before they started to reduce the balance sheet. But I think what really stuck out is not only the timing of that, so the notion that it would cur relatively soon after lift off that I think also the discussion around the pace

was interesting. So the fact that the economy isn't a much stronger position, that inflation is notably higher, that the balance sheet is much larger as a share of the economy all pointed to a faster runoff as as well. So it looks like there's going to be a lot more movement and quicker movement than what we saw on the last runoff cycle. Is it going to take policy tightening alone to get a handle on inflation, particularly given sort of the the exogenous effects out there from supply

chain and balances and that sort of thing. Can policy alone do it? So it's depending on on how tight we get policy, of of course. So um, perhaps with what the FEDS sketched out right now, it's you know, by our estimates, we we still wouldn't be seeing inflation was jumbling target for for a while. But I think you will have help from a more organic pivot in terms of spending patterns. So where we've seen a lot of the inflationary impulse or what's really unique about the

cycle is what's happening with goods inflation. I think as you see spending continue to pivot back towards services that's going to help alleviate some of the inflation pressures that that we're seeing now. So I think they're they're going to get some help um from UH from from US consumers on their own, even before you think about the impact of higher interest rates. Thanks for the Sarah, good having you on with us this morning. Sarah House is

senior economist at Wells Fargo. Karen Nathan, it is five fifty three on Wall Street. It's time for our Bloomberg Law Report, exploring legal issues in the news, and today we're looking at allegations against Andrew Cuomo. The former New York governor, is no longer facing criminal charges after the Albany District Attorney said he won't pursue allegations that Cuomo groped a woman in the executive mansion more than a year ago. District attorneys at NASSA on Westchester Counties also

recently ended their Cuomo probes without charges. The former New York governor denies any wrongdoing, but quit over the controversies, which included at least eleven allegations of sexual harassment. For more in the matter, Bloomberg student Grossos bakes to former federal prosecutor Jennifer Rogers, who teaches at Columbia Law School, how significant is it that the Albany d A is dropping criminal charges against Cuomo. Well, it's a big deal

because it means there will be no criminal case. You know, there was a moment there, maybe a couple of hours back when the sheriffs had filed this criminal complaint and before the Albany d A came in and said, hey, wait a minute, we weren't part of this. We're still evaluating the case. When everyone thought that meant that he would be criminally charged with the growthing incident, and now

we know that that will not happen. So it's a really strange episode as far as law enforcement not being on the same cage and the relationships to the DA and the sheriff's and who knows what happened with all

of that. But it's great news for Andrew Cuomo because, along with a couple of other district attorneys closing their investigations into whether he committed crimes in their districts, it means that he won't be facing a criminal charge, which you know that that's a huge thing hanging over someone's head. You know, he's still got a lot of issues relating to all of this, including likely civil suits and the like.

But not having the possibility of going to jail for that behavior, I'm sure it's a big release to him. The d A said that he finds the witness credible, but he can't prove it in a court of law. He knew from the beginning that this was going to be a he said, she said situation. So if he finds the witness credible, why offering charges. It's a tough issue and a good question. There's a lot of space between we believe the witness and we can prove it

in court using admissible evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. These are very, very challenging cases, and so I think you're going to bring a case like this. Becauch just takes the main case, the one that the all the ned A just said. You won't charge the growthing allegation. You have an incident, only two people were there. You have some things you can corroborate, like the facts that they worked together, they were there on the day and time

and question, you know, those sorts of things. But what you don't have is the kind of evidence that makes her account vastly more believable than his accounts, right, the kind of thing where she ran out in a panic and people saw her freaking out, and she immediately told a whole bunch of people exactly what had happened, you know, the day of Those are the sorts of things that you don't have. And so while you might say I believe her more than him, you know, percent sixt can

you get to beyond a reasonable doubt? Which is a very very high standard, And it's that way for a reason. But it does make it very very challenging to charge these kinds of cass and that s the will be a lot. Professor Jennifer Rogers speaking with Bloomberg's June Gronzo.
