Gaylord Resort in grape Vine, Texas. Don't miss it.

The

Nathan, Well, Karen, we are seeing this lift in markets as we begin a new trading week and helping to boost sentiment in Asia Beijing reopening further from COVID restrictions. Let's get the

recap from Bloomberg's Juliette sal in Singapore. Morning. Juliet, Good morning, Nathan and Karen, Japanese equities are raised earlier losses, and Texas rose in Hong Kong following the long weekend, this after a gauge of Chinese companies traded in the US had risen two percent of the two trading sessions that Hong Kong had been closed. Stocks in Maitland China advanced as Beijing ease back COVID nineteen restrictions, also lifting the

on Choi one. Australian stocks fell, bucking the trend ahead of an expected second consecutive interest rate increased Tuesday, whilstwiss Bank Ubs said buying the Assi Dolla is a phenomenal trade in Singapore. Juliette Sally Bloomberg Daybreak a right Juliet, thank you all. Oil also on the rise this morning, approaching a hundred twenty dollars of barrel. Saudi Arabia is signaling confidence and demand for oil. The kingdom raised prices

more than expected for Asian customers again. More from Bloomberg Markets Live editor Heather burg Sad Arabia signal competence with the demand um with the bigger than expected price increase of its crude for Asia, and overall we're seeing improving demand picture. Um, we're heading into peak summer driving season, and also in China, which is the top crude buyer.

They um, they continue to ease COVID restrictions, we should also help the demand side of oil and Bluebear Markets Line editor Heather Berg says oil has rallied almost sixty this year. Checking prices right now, nine NX screwded oil up eight tens per center cents and a hundred nineteen dollars eighty cents of barrel and brent is up eight tens percent at a D twenty seventy three cents. Rising oil prices have certainly been a major factor in inflation increases.

Karen and now President Biden's Commerce chief Gena Romando, says it may make sense to lift tariffs on some imported products help ease higher prices steel and aluminum. We've decided to keep some of those tariffs because we need to protect American workers and we need to protect our our steel industry. That's a matter of national security. There are other products, um, you know, household goods, bicycles, etcetera. Uh,

and it may make sense. Commerce Secretary Gena Romando made the comments on CNN over the weekend, we all straight bracing for a key report on inflation. Nathan. We get the story from Bloombergy's Vinny del ju Dice. The Labor Department will issue May's consumer price index on Friday. Economists say that you over your inflation rate will continue near historic levels, copping eight percent. A major driver in May record petroleum costs in addition to the sustained run up

another household stables. Also on this week's data agenda, University of Michigan figures on consumer sentiment. Sentiment has been running low as the quest of living runs Highnce Bloomberg day Break, All right, Vinny, thank you. As the Fed remains focused on fighting inflation, we are getting word from Goldman Sachs that the US economy remains on a narrow path to a soft landing. Let's get more on that line from Bloomberg's You Need a Young Good Morning, Grened a good morning, Nathan.

Goldman says improving inflation numbers and other factors suggests that the Fed may be able to pull off its aggressive rate hike plan without tipping the country into a recession. Goldman economists say sequential core inflation appears to be slowing and pressures on the supply chain are improving, even as

signs of softening in the job market emerges. Now, the economists say, while the deterioration and indicators like the first quarters GDP contractions suggest near term recession risks has increased, other measures show output is expanding. Live in New York, I'm reneed a young Bloomberg day break right re need to thank you. At least a half a dozen central

banks are expected to raise interest rates this week. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank is predicting to finally join the global tightening bandwagon, with policymakers on Thursday expected to announce it and to bond purchases and formally begin the countdown to an increase in borrowing costs in July. While staying in Europe, care in the future of Boris Johnson is in focus as he faces a leadership vote in his ruling Conservative Party. Let's go to London and get the

very latest with Bloomberg's human pots. Good morning and good morning, Nathan and Karen. After months of speculation, at eight a m. Outside the British House of the Parliament, it was announced that the Prime Minister is the face of votes of confidence in his leadership. This after more than fifteen percent of lawmakers from Boris Johnson's own Conservative party called for the votes. The pms be under five for a series of the legal gatherings at Downing Street during the COVID lockdowns.

The votes on Johnson's future will conclude at eight p m. London time, and he needs the supports of at least half of lawmakers to keep his position in London. Immune Parts spoombook, debreak here and thank you back here. In the US, President Biden will take executive action to boost the US solar industry. Bloombergs Amy Morris has detailed Stoomer

newsroom in Washington. Sources tell Bloomberg News the President plans to invoke the Defense Production Act to provide support for US made solar panels, while announcing a two year halt on new solar tariffs now that would allow domestic developers to use the foreign equipment while US manufacturing ramps up. The White House is also said to use the federal government's purchasing power to help support American clean energy manufacturers.

The announcement could come as early as today. In Washington. I'm Amy Morris Bloomberg debrisk okay me thank you? In Starbucks is looking at external candidates only for its next CEO. That's according to interim chief Howard Schultz, who tells the Wall Street Journal the coffee chain needs to add new talent and skills to its leadership ranks.

Commissioner Outlaws has Authorities are offering a twenty dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of the shooter. Shooting near a Chattanooga

nightclub left three dead. Police say four team were shot and three others were hit by vehicles. Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly, are there an avid hunter and a marksman all my life? And I want to say clearly a fully responsible I fully support rather responsible gun ownership. The Congress needs to do their jobs and past common sense regulations that will

help stop this nonsense. Mayor Kelly implored parents to keep track of their children, especially if they suspect they carry guns mean while bipartisan group of U. S senators say gun talks are innching forward, though a deal is far from assured. Officials fear more than fifty people were killed in southwestern Nigeria when gunmen burst into a Catholic church during mass, opening fire and deadenating explosives. Primary elections in

Michael Barr, this is Bloomberg. Nathan. Okay, Michael, thank you his six nineteen on Wall Street Live from the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and just want to pass along this spread headline that just crossed the Bloomberg terminal moments ago. India in talks to increase Russian oil imports from Rosneft. Take a look at how that could impact the crude market with West Texas Intermediate right now at a half percent or a hundred nineteen dollars forty eight cents a barrel. On word that Saudi Arabia could be ready to increase production. Will be following that for you throughout the morning here

on Bloomberg day Break. In the meantime, Michael Houston is with us this morning, Chief Mark, an analyst at CMC Markets, as we take a look at a risk on start to the week. Michael, good morning. Karen mentioned the boosting sentiment from China lifting some COVID restrictions. Could this be the start of something good for the equity market or is this a bear market rally. I still think this is potentially a bear market rally. I think nothing at

the moment has convinced me otherwise. I think the picture will become slightly clearer, certainly in the context of whether or not inflation is peaked, and I think that is probably the overranching narrative at the moment. It's not so much whether or not China is starting to unlock. We knew that anyway. Um shanghaiing restrictions from the first of June.

Beijing is starting to do the same thing. I think the biggest concern I think as regards the Chinese economy is concerned is whether or not we get a V shaped rebound there, and I'm not convinced that we can given the low vaccination rates of the Chinese population and the fact China is still insisting on zero COVID policy. So the bigger question is this week's you a CPI kind of we hit peak inflation or are we plessoing? And obviously what the e CBS intentions are going forward.

So I think we're in a little bit of no man's land uncertainty over the course of the next two weeks because no sooner do we get the ECB out the way, and obviously we've got the Federal Reserve coming up next week as well. So what's your read on whether we could be at peak inflation at this point? What's your expectation heading into that CPI print coming on Friday.

If I look at the bond market and I look at ten new yields, then certainly I think there is a perception on the part of bond markets that we have because if you look at the price action and you look at the fairly subdued reaction that we saw to Friday's payrolls date, for I think as long as the ten year yields stays below three that I certainly think there is a ability by markets to push the

SMP higher. If we can get back above four thousand, two hundred and bond yields soften, then I think there's there's potentially good traction the further gains, but you know, let's not let's not get too overenthusiastic about this. We are still in a downtrend. We have been in a town trend since the end of last year. We can go back as far as four thousand, four hundred and

still for me being a bear market rally. So I think there is potential for further upside, but I think an awful lot will depend on whether or not the Fed goes fifty basis points in September, which is what I think what markets are concerned about at the moment, in the aftermath of obviously a June and July. If basis points right movement, I think the picture will become much clearer. Jackson Hall and we do have the SMP right now at eight after the Friday close. Uh, Michael,

we have just about a minute left here. What is your feel on whether the Fed is going to continue with aggressive rate hikes. It does seem as though the markets priced in fifty basis point moves this month and next. What should markets be looking for when it comes to gaming out whether we could see even more aggressive rate

tightening in the months to come well. I think if we look at pc that has been on the downward track since March, I think if this week's CPI and them it comes in below eight points, or the core prices coming significantly lower, then we could see start price We could start to see pricing come out of that fifty basis point move that markets are already starting to price in. So I think the next few weeks, the

next couple of weeks are going to be crucial. Softening in CPI this week and then see what the Fed says with respect to its dot plot and obviously it's forward guidance going forward next week. Now very important FED meeting coming up next week and at least a half dozen central banks expected to join the rate hiking party this week alone. Michael Houston, Chief Market Analyst CMC Markets as always great to get your thoughts as we get ready for another trading week ahead of all that central

bank action this week and next. Looking ahead to the market open, we do have futures moving higher, with SMP futures up forty three points or one point one percent down. Futures are up two hundred sixty six points, and NAZDAC futures are leading the Games this morning up a hundred seventy four points. That's a gain of one point four percent. Docks in Germany up one percent, the cat in Paris up one point one percent, the foot Sea in London

up one point three percent. Ahead of that confidence vote for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson later today ten Your treasuries down six thirty seconds, the yield two point nine five percent and the yield on the two year two point six seven percent. Just ahead, the Biden administration opens the door to lifting some tariffs, and Goldman Sachs sees

We've decided to keep some of those tariffs because we need to protect American

workers and we need to protect our steel industry. That's a matter of national security. Commerce Secretary Genna Romando told CNN over the weekend that lifting tariffs on other household goods may make sense to help ease rising prices, well as the Fed AIMCS price hikes. Karen Goldman Sachs says the U S economy remains on a narrow path to a soft landing. Let's get more on that live from Bloomberg's We Need a Young, Good Morning, rena Good Morning.

Nathan Goldman says improving inflation numbers and other factors suggest that the Fed may be able to pull off its aggressive rate hip rate hike plan without tipping the country into a recession.

First Michael Barr with what else is going on in New York and around the world. Good morning, Michael, Good morning Nathan. It has been a weekend of shootings in several states that

have left about a dozen people dead. One shooting in Philadelphia left three dead and an other elevant injured. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, these incidents have an exponential effect on our community, and it not only impacts the individual that's been directly victimized, but it victimizes their loved ones, their families, and their neighbors neighborhoods all over the world. Commissioner Outlaws. As a fight between two males led to

the shootings, the suspect fled on foot. In Chattanooga, three people are dead after a shootout near a nightclub. Meanwhile, there are some reports that US senators are injuring towards some kind of compromise and movement on gun safety. Bloomberg's and Baxter reports a bipartisan group is working in Republican Pat Toomey says background checks are on the table, at least for commercial sales of firearms. There ought to be a background check, so sales at gun shows, sales that

are advertised over the internet. Toomey has been working with Democrat Joe Manchin for years on this, and Toomey on CBS has heard here on Bloomberg says the outcome of these talks is still uncertain. We are still trying to figure out exactly what mechanism is going to enable us to get the votes that we would need. But he says closer this time in San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg gave break Primary elections in New Jersey and six other states tomorrow will set the stage for US House

Global News twenty four hours a day on air and on Bloomberg Quick Take, powered by more than twenty seven hundred journalists and analysts, are more than a hundred twenty countries.

Rangers went down to Tampa having won their

last four playoff games six and the last seven. They had a lead in Game three, yet another power play goal for me because advantage ad and shortly after that Chris Pryder with a man advantage, but in the rebound of his advantage jet Shop at Tampa Bay Guy power play goals and Nikita Coop drops second proage Steven stamp coos in the third. The Lightning dominated the third period big edge and shots on goal. They won three two on Andre Polot goal off a nifty pass with coup

drop only forty two seconds remaining. Rangers still lead the series to one game four tomorrow. NBA Finals now tied one. Golden State beat Boston one of seven to eighty eight, outscored the Celtics. Is the third quarter, thirty five and fourteen. Yankees going for a sweep for the homestand of back and fourth game with the Tigers tied four four tenth and he swung on their clothes keek left field. That's

gonna win the game. Harold has go back and he made the catch on the winning track, tagging his judge. He's scores full game over. Yankees win an they've been doing a lot of that. A Yankee record of thirty nine and fifteen a third of the way through the season. That's the best in baseball at this point since two

When Pete Sampras retired from tennis, not that long ago he had the record for most Grand Slams one He's now fourth with fourteen, and Raphael the Dallas won fourteen French Opens twenty two slams. It was

fate sets of the impact. John Bloomberg, spoo, alright, John, thank you. It is six thirty seven on Wall straight timing. How to take a look at stocks, some of the names moving in the pre market. Bloomberg Radio and TV Markets correspondent Crety Gupta is with us this morning, and createy, what would the pre market be without taking a look at Tesla um not very exciting apparently, or not really a normal morning, I should say. Nevertheless, we are shielded

from that possibility. Tesla shares of course up three point six percent. T s L as your taker, it's all about Elon Musk surprise surprise. Remember on Friday he did talk about perhaps having a super bad feeling about the economy, Reuter's reporting that there's an internal email in which he said that he is going to perhaps cut Tesla's task

force by about ten percent, so a huge number. In addition to his quote super bad feeling about the economy, of course, we heard that similar sentiment from Jamie Diamond as well. That being said over the weekend, he did actually say, well, salaried workers um would actually potentially hold or their their jobs in terms of their pay, would

it be flat? They would also perhaps increase headcount. So some mixed messages coming out of Tesla here in terms of what to actually expect and remember, in some ways, Tesla can be this macro bell weather. It can be this idea that this is kind of the e V transition. This is a company that has a lot of exposure not just to the United States naturally, but to China,

to Berlin as well. So what happens with Tesla and its production numbers can actually be somewhat of a bell weather for COVID lockdowns or global growth as a whole. But also keep in mind, Nathan, it's a heavyweight in both the SMPI and the NASTICS, So what happens with Tesla can actually affect the entire benchmark, even if you're not actively investing in the specific stock itself. Nevertheless, this morning, simply that mixed message is a little bit of rebound

coming from one of its worst days. And I think about a year on Friday, T s l A those shares are back up shy four percent. Of course, another big heavyweight in the indexes is Amazon. They just have that big stock split. What's Amazon doing right now? Well, A Zone shares are up, and this is no surprise here as we talk about you know, stock splits broadly.

You saw this with Apple shares as well. Amazon though not up as much as you would think, only up six tenths of one percent, but still higher on the day A m Z and it's your taker. And remember you need tech on your side to see a little bit of a rebound, so to see Tesla up, to see Amazon up. Right off the bat, you've got two of the big tech heavyweights up, which could actually explain why perhaps you're seeing UH futures come back up already

in pre market trading. Another one to really keep in mind here, and I know we're only talking about American tech, but we should talk about Chinese tech as well. DD global soaring after report that Chinese regulators are about to conclude a probe into the company from restore it's apps to mobile stores as soon as this week. Of course, we know dd has had quite the wild ride in terms of delisting, in terms of kind of steaks taken

by Chinese government, those shares up fifty in the pre market. Nathan, whoa big jump there, Bloomberg Radio TV Markets correspondent Creety Goopda, as always, thanks for keeping on top of what's happening under the hood in the premar market, and as we take a look at stocks as a whole, we do have futures moving higher, with SMP futures up forty three points down, futures up Tune at fifty nine, Nasdaq futures up a hundred eighty two points, and the tenure treasury

Boris Johnson could be ousked a tonight as Britain's Prime Minister. He is facing a no confidence vote in his Conservative party after revelations he broke

In baseball, the Yankees and Mets one. The Red Sox beat the A's, the Orioles lost the Nationals and Giants won Global News twenty four hours a day on air and on Bloomberg Quick Take, powered by more than twenty seven hundred journalist and analyst in more

than a hundred twenty countries. I'm Michael barn This is Bloomberg. The following commentary is from Bloomberg Opinion. Ted Cruise's anti gun elites aren't hiding behind walls than gates. I'm Justin Fox, a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. The elites in society have the loudest megaphone when it comes to gun control. Senator Ted Cruz declared last month they live in gated neighborhoods

and have private security. This seemed like a claim worth investigating, so I did, and well, I couldn't really figure out what the people who lived there think about gun control. I did learn the gated communities, along a bugaboo for the political left increasingly one for the right, aren't all

they're cracked up to be. That is, they really were a growing phenomenon in the US in the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties, but according to Census Bureau data, the boom is fizzled since most homeowners and gated communities make less than a hundred thousand dollars a year, and few of the nation's richest neighborhoods are enclosed by gates.

Nathan all Right, Karen, thanks rely from the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers Studios. Where it's

coming up to six fifty two on Wall Street. I'm not to check what's going on in d C. Some of the top stories in our nation's capital include the Biden administration defending of the president's efforts to fight inflation, even with gas prices edging close to five dollars a gala nationwide, Transportation Secretary Pete Botaje tolls ABC's this week,

it's up to the oil companies to increase supplying. It's been very striking right now to see these oil companies who have become almost ridiculously profitable, and you hear these oil executives on the record talking about how they're not going to increase production. Also making news. Bipartisan Senate talks

on gun legislation continuing. Pennsylvania Republican pat to me as part of the conversations, we all agree that violent criminals and and deranged, dangerously mentally ill people shouldn't have firearms. So we need a mechanism to increase the likelihood that will identify such a person and prevent them from buying a gun legally anyway. And Senator to me was on CBSS Face the Nation and the House January six committees

getting ready for prime time hearings this week. Democrat Adam Schiff hopes they make an impression on voters, the American people. I think no great deal already, there's a great deal they haven't seen, but perhaps most important is the public hasn't seen it woven together, how one thing led to another, how one line of effort to overturn the election led to another and ultimately led to terrible violence, the first

non peaceful transfer of power in our history. Congressman Schiff was also on Face the Nation, which you can hear every Sunday right here on Bloomberg Radio along with ABC's This Week. Bloomberg Government reporter Emily Wilkins is with us now for more on all these stories. Emily, while we await those primetime hearings from the January six Committee, the focus and the Biden administration remains on tackling inflation, at least that's what we've been hearing over the last few

weeks now. But there's some evidence of cracks in that United front from some reporting about a new book about Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen over the weekend. Tell us more. Yeah, So, Bloomberg News reported that a new book coming out of a called Empathy Economics by Owen Allman. It's all about Jenny Ellen, um but it says that she advocated for

a smaller rescue plan to for COVID. Remember that was a one point nine trillion dollar package proposed by being a Biden administration just when Biden had gotten into office, and Democrats wound up passing that through UM. At the time, it was really held for kind of getting the country but helping the country gets back on its feet after COVID. But now it's being blamed in part for the rise in inflation, saying that that was overspending by the government.

And this new book suggests that Jenny Yellen, his Treasury secretary, did have some initial concerns about that high cost um. And now that Jenny Yellen has come out and actually said that, you know that that wasn't accurate UM that you know, she fully supported the plan, and we did see her at the time go ahead and support it. But we also do know that there were some concerns among economists, most notably Larry Summers, as to exactly the

overall price of the package UM. And so it's just coming out of time where you've already heard Jenny Yellen apologized last week UH saying that you know, she initially thought that inflation would be more transitory than it was, and that of course things like the war in Ukraine, additional variants of COVID really wound up changing calculation. Um. And she'll be in front of Congress this week also testifying. So definitely we'll be keeping an eye out there for

how she handles questions on inflation. But right now, inflation is certainly I think, of of all the headaches that President Biden is dealing with, really one one of the top ones. Of course, another top headache is this ongoing surge in gun violence that's led to this debate in the Senate over what to do about it. We had another round of shootings over the weekend. Where does that debate stand right now? Emily, So this is gonna be a really interesting way for that debate anything, because this

is kind of where the rubber meets the road. A lot of the discussions that were going on, particularly the bipartisan group headed by Chris Murphy and John Cornyn Democrat and a Republican. I mean, they've been meeting, but it's all been virtual. Now they're coming back to d C tonight. Um, they'll finally be in the same room again. They're going to continue to chat and you hear a lot of optimism. I mean, Chris Murphy said the group, Um, you know,

it's closer than ever before on the package of gun measures. Um, you've heard think Pat to me in the clip that you played, you know, say that there are discussions under way and that they're close to any deals they've ever been before. But there's still huge questions whether they can actually come to an agreement and what that agreement would look like. I mean, Republicans say they don't want any

sort of restrictions on on gun control. Um, that they want to focus on mental health and on school safety. And there really is a question is that going to be enough for Democrats who really want to see some action on this after several major mass shootings in the past month. Yeah, a lot to look forward to, a lot to keep an eye on as Congress gets back from its uh Spring recess. Emily Wilkins and Bloomberg Government, as always, thanks for keeping us updated on what's happening
