There could be more losses ahead, according to Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson says stocks need to drop another fifteen to to the market to fully

reflect this scale of economic contraction. Perhaps the biggest event for markets this week, Karen, will be congressional testimony from J Powell, The Fed chair delivers the Central bank semi

annual report on Monetary Policy tomorrow. Bloomberg's Viney dell Judas reports Powell tell Congress the FEDS commitment to battling the worst inflation in forty years is unconditional, just days after launching the largest FED interest rate increase in twenty years, and advanced text of the FEDS report to lawmakers says it's committed at doing what's needed to get the job done and that price stability is necessary to support a

strong US labor market. Powell will testify to the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday and the House Financial Services Committee on Thursday. Vinny del Judai s Bloomberg Day Break a right, Vinnie, thank you, but there are more calls at an impending recession. This morning we had the latest I from Bloomberg's Renia Young Good morning, Ready to good morning. Karen Elon Musk, Norio Roubini, and Goldman Sachs are the latest to warn

that the US economy could fall into a recession. While Musk predicted happening sometime in the near future, Goldman Sachs now sees a thirty percent chance of a recession over the next year. That's up from fifteen percent previously. At a twenty five percent chance of entering a recession in the second year if one is avoided in the first, Robini expects a US recession by the end of this year.

Recession getting pretty closely. Robini Macro Associate CEO Norio Robini says the US economy is experiencing a number of negative aggregate supply shocks. Live in New York. I'm Renita Young Bloomberg Daybreak. Al Right, Renita, thank you all. President Biden's pushing back on those calls for a recession, talking to Summers a swarming. There's nothing in the bother session. And President Biden spoke with reporters in Delaware yesterday. He was

referring to former Treasury secretary and current Bloomberg contributor Larry Summers. Meantime, Nathan. President Biden said he is aiming to decide this week whether to as spend the federal gasoline checks. Bloomberg said, Baxter has that story. The President is being careful at this point, saying he is looking for more data, but sounds confident hope that I'm looking for by he and his administration are trying to find ways to ease the

soaring prices at the pomp and his. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also sounds actually likes the idea. I think, well, not perfect, it is something that should be under under consideration. So consideration it is, and we should have an answer by the end of the week. In San Francisco. I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Gay Break, Thank you. Ed. Secretary Yellen says another way to lower gas prices could involve Russian

oil exports. We are talking about price caps or a price exception that would enhance and strengthen recent and proposed energy restrictions by Europe, the United States, the UK and others that would push down the price of Russian oil and to press Putin's revenues while allowing more oil supply to reach the global market. Treasury Secretary Janet Yelling spoke at a news conference in Toronto alongside Canadian Finance Minister

Christopher Freeland. Well Nathan, the CEO of ax On Mobiles, says global oil markets may remain tight for another three to five years, largely because of a lack of investment since the pandemic began. Darren Woods says it'll take time for oil firms to catch up to ensure there's enough supply.

Thoughtful conversations about investments across that whole portfolio of solution sets needed to provide affordable and reliable energy while reducing emissions is the path forwards on Mobile CEO Darren Woods made the comments at the Cutter Economic Forum in Doha and on the M and A Frontcaren the battle over Spirit Airlines is taking off.

Global News twenty four hours a day on air and on Bloomberg Quicktake, powered by more than twenties seven hundred journalist and analysts in more than one twenty countries. Michael barr In, this is Bloomberg. Alright, Michael, thanks very much. It is six twenty now on Wall Street Live from the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg day Break. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We now bring you a special interview

with the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk. He spoke about reducing Tesla's salaried workforce and who he could support in the US presidential election. Elon Musk spoke with Bloomberg News Editor in chief John Michael Fwaite from the Cutter Economic Forum in Doha, powered by Bloomberg. Can you set the record straight on one thing, which is this

issue about the layoffs. I think you said initially that Tesla ten percent of the workforce would be cut, then ten percent of salaried would be cut, then salaried would stay flat and overall headcount would go up. What what what is the number? I know there's already I think being a lawsuit about the ten percent? Is is ten percent the goal to reduce the workforce? Or what is the number that we should think about? Well that you're planning? Yes,

so it TESLA is reducing the salary workforce. Are roughly ten percent over the next probably three months or so. UM. The uh we expect to grow out our hourly workforce. Actual quite clear that we expected to grow our hourly workforce, but we uh, we grew very fast with on the on the salary side, um, and we grew a little too fast in some areas, and so it requires reduction in salary workforce. And we're about two thirds hourly and

one third salary. So I guess technically a temp said reduction in the salary workforce is only properly a three three and a half percent reduction in total headcount. Now, I think I think that number is important legally, isn't it? Because I think people are trying to say, if you if you're going to lay off ten percent of your workforce, you have even in America to make an announcement about that.

We did make an announcement. UM. Yes, um, let let's not read too much into a preemptive lawsuit that has no standing. Um that that that that is a small as a lawsuit of minor class points that just anything that related to Tesla gets big headlines. But it is whether it is, um, you know, a bicycle accident or something much more serious. It's it seems like anything reslated it Tesla gets a lot of cliques, whether whether it is trivial or significant. I would put that lawsuit referring

to in the trivial category. Um. So you have now, I think our headcount will be higher in both salary and obviously in hourly um. But in the short term of the next few months, we expect to see, like I said, off the attempt stated reduction in UH salary salaried workforce, which is actually just really only three or three and a half a cent reduction in total headcount and not a super material should we jump to that

law that That third elon Musk the uncontroversial one. In politics, you've indicated that the Florida Governor Ronda Santis is someone you could get behind if he ran for president. I wondered, if you're still in that position, and whether you would, for instance, think about supporting Donald Trump if he were to run. Well, I was simply asked if there was if I had decided on who I would be supporting in the next presidential race, and I said I had

not decided if I would support. Then I was asked, well, who might you be leaning towards. I said, possibly to Stantus. And now and now I'm asking you about Trump whether you would consider him. Um, I think I'm undersided at this point on that election. I wanted you talked about putting money behind a supermoderate super fact in the US, and I wondered, how much money do you think you're going to put into that? What kind of support would you push? I have not decided on an amount, but

it would be something some non trobrial figure I think. Um, I mean at least non trivial could mean a lot. Sorry, non trivial could mean a lot of money. With you, I was guessing, well, I don't know. I'm not decided on the exact amount, but um past to be twenty or twenty five million dollars just on that issue. I mean, again, you look at the sans what the Santon says m you look at what Trump says, Um and those sort

of policies. They again the people who make a large noise about China, And I wondered whether you thought that was also an issue few in terms of business in China. Um. Well, no, I don't think so.

That's up from previously and Robini Macroe Associate CEO Norio Robini expects a US recession by the end of this year and says the economy is experiencing a number of negative aggregate supply shocks. Live in New York, I'm Renita Young, Bloomberg Daybreak, all right, we need to thank you. Over the weekend of Delaware, President Biden pushed back on those recession calls. He said

New York Governor Kathy hoc Will signed a state law protecting voting rights at a signing ceremony, and Brooklyn Governor Hocal said me, you work is preserving voting rights while they are under attack around the country. The shocking revelation that there are people out there who are so firm and their belief that Donald Trump should remained their president fostered by him that they literally attacked

our capital. Governor Hokel says the John Lewis Voting Rights of New York is named after federal legislation that had passed the House last year but has not yet passed the Senate. The householct Committee investigating the January sixth insurrection convenes again later today for its fourth public hearing.

Up to twenty passers by immediately jumped into action, trying to lift the cab off the two women. New York Mayor Eric Adams, they

clearly responded to help those who were injured. They didn't know they were tourists or not they just responded a normal way to New York. Mayor Adams says two of the injured were tourists from Ohio. Two more we're visiting from Mexico. All of the victims are expected to recover.

Anguish sorrow, tears and questions. Last night, during the first school board meeting after the horrific massacre inside the rob Elementary School in Yuvaldi, Texas, several investigations are underway trying to find out why the school system's police chief waited for over an hour to stom the classroom and end the shooting rampage.

He said he wants players who are selfless and available, and that's not Kyrie, who thinks he and Kevin ranchhould have a managerial with the team. If Irving rejects his thirty seven million dollar option, he becomes a free agent. I'm stactually that wear Bloomberg Sports Okay,

John thanks six thirty seven on Wall Street. Time to take a look at stock. Some of the names moving in the pre market. For that, We're joined by Bloomberg Radio and TV markets correspondent Creedy Gupta on a risk on return to a holiday short and week. Good morning, Crety, what's your ry? You decided a very good day to come back. The dream team is back here. I want to start off with Leonard, you did have a or I've been told to pronounced Lenar. I've heard it both ways,

but let's go Lenar. Okay, Ellie, And as your taker up one, of course, this is the home builders Company. This is really important here because as we talk about the cracks in the economy, Leonard or Lenar, I'm gonna I'm gonna make a mistake all day long. I can already tell that you're coming out with earnings. They beat their earnings or purchase contracts rose four percent from a year earlier. But get this, Nathan, this really speaks to the strength of the green back. Here the dollar value

of its seals increased twenty percent. So per just contracts up four percent, the dollar value increased once again, it speaks to the strength of the dollar. And I think this quote is really interesting here from their CEO. They said the weight of a rapid dupling of interest rates over six months, together with accelerated price appreciation, began to drive buyers in many markets to pause and reconsider. We

began to see these effects after the quarter end. So basically he's going on, he's warning, well, some of these interest rate hikes that we've seen, um the fifty basis points in in June, and may E sees me in seventy five basis points that we saw last week as well, those are going to have effects, perhaps delayed effects, but effects nonetheless on the housing market. Yeah. Really interesting macro

perspective there. I wonder if you're looking at some of the stocks related to Elon Musk after his interview overnight with our John Nicklethwaite. Yeah, I mean, how can you start a week without talking about Elon Musk. You have to. So let's start with Tesla and Twitter. I'll give you the share action first. T s l A up about three point four percent in the pre market, Twitter as well,

about two point seven percent in the pre market. This comes after, of course, Elon must beats with our very own John Michael with the Waiter, editor in chief over at the Cutter Economic Forum, saying that the CEO label at the Social media firm was less important than driving the product, something he has said before, and that Tesla will cut its salaried workforce by about ten percent over

the next three months. So the takeaway here for both markets because remember Twitter and Tesla, they tend to have that inverse relationship when one goes up, the other goes down. Um. The idea here is that he is still actively talking about this deal, So anytime he suggests any sort of interest or plans or anything like that, it does boost Twitter shares, and that's kind of the at least the mindset in the pre market that Twitter shares or Twitter

investors are really pushing the stock higher. The Tesla part is interesting because they're talking about cutting costs, and remember they've already hiked their prices as well, for thinking for the third time last week this year. So really they're dealing with macroeconomic issues and investors seeing, well, look, they're working even harder to uh to get those costs under control. And he keeps saying he sees a recession coming pretty soon. Thanks for this. Creedy has always been Radio and TV

Former Vice President Pennce called January six

three over the Avalanche. On this first day of summer, Global News twenty four hours a day on air and on Bloomberg Quicktake, powered by more than twenty seven under journalist and analysts more than a hundred twenty countries. Michael Varn this is Bloomberg. The following commentary is from Bloomberg Opinion. Big boxy apartment buildings are multiplying faster than ever. I'm Justin Fox, the columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. Amid the materials shortages,

price hikes and other craziness, of the housing market. Last year, something remarkable happened. US builders completed more apartments in large buildings than ever before. They didn't build more apartments overall. The multifamily construction records set in the early nineteen seventies appeared to be safe for all time. But back then most new apartments were in buildings of less than twenty units.

Now five percent are in buildings of twenty units or more, in fifty seven percent in buildings of fifty units are more. What's striving this mainly the economics of building. Getting permission to build is harder than it used to be an institutional investors and other big players increasingly dominate multifamily development, so projects have to be substantial to be worth the effort.

Nathan Okay, Karen, thank you. We are I from the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studios where

it's six fifty two on Wall Street. Time now to check what's going on in DC. Some of the top stories in our nation's capital include President Biden saying recession is avoidable after a talk over the weekend with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, President saying he's close to decisions on a gas tax holiday and student debt. And the January six Committee returns with a focus on Georgia and

Mark Meadows role. For more on all these stories, we are joined this morning by Bloomberg Washington correspondent host of sound On on Bloomberg Radio, Joe Matthew. Joe, good morning, Well, the President may be downplaying the risk of recession, but Wall Street certainly is not. You know, and it's interesting when you hear the president talk you after remember, well, this is the president of the United States who goes out of his or her way in the future to

not talk down the economy. For starters, If you're the president, you're not going to say that in a recession is guaranteed. But I would encourage people to listen to the full remarks that the President made on the beach. Nothing is a vitable as the headline, but he went on to say that I think we're gonna be able to get a change in Medicare and a reduction of the cost of insulin. As he's talking about this package of legislation that may or may not see the light of day,

Nathan aimed at lowering costs. It's kind of a rebuild of the Build Back Better plan that failed to pass last year. It's a much smaller version. There was a meeting on this last week with congressional leaders. This is real. It could pass through reconciliation. If you remember this stuff from last year. As we all learned Schoolhouse Rock, that would be Democrats only voting. But we don't know if

Joe Mansion is on board with this. There's no legislation to vote on yet and no guarantee that it could pass. So if you take that off the table, I wonder what the President might say about a recession. In that case, it could be a bit more likely. Yeah, And when he's talking about things like bringing down insulin prices and prescription drugs, I mean, those are really things on the margins compared to the big package that he had been

looking for before those talks broke down. Is there any reason at this point Joe to think that the new talks, the talks that are still underway, will have any better chance of success. Well, I think you could argue that, in principle, they'd have a better chance because it's smaller. If you remember all the time we've spent hashing out what the final price tag would be for Joe Mansion's appetite. Would it be one point five trillion, as he said that was his top line number. Could it be more

or less than that? There are a lot of things that we learned during that experience that I don't think the White House and Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill, UH will be looking to relive if this happens it's going to be something much more stripped down, but also therefore could have less impact. They're also talking about a couple of other ideas, though Nathan. A gas tax holiday is still on the table, they say, and even rebate cards that you'd use at the gas pump. The President was

asked about this on his beach walk as well. All on the table, he says, But these would require Congressional approval. They are not new ideas, and in some cases, including the gas tax holiday, legislation is already out there. It's really not for Joe Biden to decide, as Congress need to vote on it. Yeah. And one other thing that the President mentioned is that he plans to meet with oil industry executives. This meean he has been really harsh

on the oil industry over the last couple of weeks. Yeah, and interesting, he's not going to be in that meeting himself.

He was asked by reporters there, said no, my team is going to be doing that, remembering that x on Mobile, Chevron and others responded to take issue with the letter that the White House sent last week, saying that they were not investing, they were simply taking these massive profits more money than God, I think is how he put it in terms of x on and sending it back to shareholders either by by way of dividends stock repurchases,

as opposed to putting it into the ground. We have a major refining bottleneck here that also needs to be acknowledged. We haven't built a new refinery in this country since the nineteen seventies, and more of them are slated to close.

So this is a complicated conversation and it's one that apparently the President will not be in the room for himself in our last minute here, Joe, can you see up the next round of January six hearings coming up this afternoon for yeah, this is it's an afternoon session

starts one o'clock Washington time, not in prime time. And today it's gonna be focusing on the pressure, uh that Donald Trump and and his associates put on state legislatures and state lawmakers, including Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raethinsburger, who just uh survived a primary challenge from a Trump endorsed candidate. We're gonna be hearing from Arizona, Georgia and other states that we're getting the phone calls and getting the pressure from Donald Trump and Mark Meadows in that time.

We also expect to have new video today. Nathan Political just reporting now from a documentary maker who was embedded with Trump himself on the campaign trail and in the White House the days leading up to and after January six. Much more to watch from the January six hearings this afternoon. I imagine we'll have much more analysis coming up on Bloomberg. Sound On with Joe Matthew weekdays five pm. Wall Street
