It has obviously been a much better season for the Rangers than it has been for the next they'll be a play off hockey at

Miles Bridges score thirty one points, Flamelo Ball had twenty and fifteen assists Evan for the Knicks with thirty. As to the Rangers back and forth game in Detroit and didn't have to go on the power play they score? Is it Crider or cop of the doorstep? Prider took the shot. It's a

First one Seaton Hall, where Kevin Willard recently left to take over
at Maryland. Shaheen Halloway had been Willard's top assistant, first at Iona, then for eight years at Seton Hall, where Holloway was once his star point guard. So he might have gotten this job even if he hadn't just coached St. Peter's to arguably the greatest Cinderella run and n C double A tournament history. No surprise, Holloway leaving the Peacocks stayed in New Jersey, the coach of the Pirates, but a big surprise last night out of Tampa Bay, Brose
Arians stepped down. He's going to assist Bucks GM Jason White, Todd Bowles, who was the defense supportator before that. The head coach of the Jets takes over. The sixty nine year old Arians has had health issues, but insisted that was not the reason for this movement. John Dash Award and Bloomberg Sports Nathan Okay, John, thanks right now.

Michael Barr and this is Bloomberg, Nathan. Yeah, you'd think that coach would be in high demand now, Thank you, Michael. It's five nineteen on Wall Street Live from the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios.
This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and Julie Norman is with us this morning, co director of the Center on US Politics at University College London, as we continue following the latest on the war in Ukraine, Professor, Good morning. As we heard from Michael Barr in the news, talks could resume tomorrow between Ukrainian and Russia negotiators. Is there any reason to think that the discussions would make any more headway than what we saw in Turkey earlier this week? Well,
good morning, Nathan. One of the challenges right now is what we're hearing out of the negotiations and then what we're hearing from the Kremlin and seeing on the back
a field tend to be quite different. So on the one hand, there was some apparent progress made earlier this week, at the meetings in Turkey, with very frank discussions about Ukraine's potential neutral status moving forward with central security guarantees from other states UH and talking about more of a focus on what the territories in the East will look like in the future. So I think that's still where
the crux of the negotiations will ultimately end up. But unfortunately we're not seeing is a ceasefire or withdrawal of troops that would actually allow for those more substantive UH negotiations to happen. And indeed, Russia's claims that they would be drawing down some of their offenses near Kievan elsewhere have not borne out. In practice, we're still seeing we're still seeing offenses in those areas as well as in
the East. So until things actually changed on the ground, it's going to be difficult for the real substance measures to move forward at the table in the negotiations. Yeah, that's certainly what we're hearing from officials on the ground in Ukraine as well as from the Pentagon. They're terming the Russian claims of de escalation as more like a repositioning. What does that say about where this war could go
from here? Well, I think it's that the war will likely go on for for quite a bit longer, unfortunately, but it's it's also most likely that Russia will start
emphasizing their operations in the east much more strongly. I think it's pretty clear now and definitely from the start even of the the invasion, that Putin is really trying to control the dun Bus region, um Danetsk and enhance those areas that already had large separatist regions within them, trying to expand those trying to build a land bridge
to Crimea. So in terms of territory and where I think we'll see the offenses focus, I do think we'll see that shift to the east, but again I think we'll still see that pressure on other parts of the country as well. Um, all we can hope is that these negotiations, which have been you know, extremely sluggish but are like some extremely baby steps of progress, will just keep chipping away at the meantime to a point that Zelenski and Putin can actually meets and and trying work
out what this might look like. It's also been very interesting to hear the Biden administration sharing intelligence in the way it has even before the war began telegraphing that Russia would be invading within days. And now the White House saying that they have intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin is being misinformed by his military about how the war is going. What is the advantage for the US
and allies to share intelligence in this way. Yeah, with an interesting approach, Nathan, And it's one that the US started, as you noted, before the invasion, essentially to try and get out ahead of Putin's own misinformation. So again, at that time, they were worried that Putin would kind of orchestrate a false flag incident, that he would you accuse NATO or Ukraine of you know, using chemical weapons or
doing something like this. So they're trying to get out ahead of some of the disinformation they thought might be coming from the Kremlin. This latest kind of reporting now, I think, is again just trying to keep the pressure
on Russian on Putin in particular. Um, this intelligence from yesterday suggesting that Putin is not getting the full picture from his military commanders is uh, you know, I think something that obviously we're we're watching the intelligence, but also most of us watched that press conference before the invasion started. Where Putin's advisors had to take it up and pretty much tell him exactly what he wanted to hear. So I don't think that's super surprising that some of his
advisors are still probably under that kind of pressure. And in our last minute here, Professor, we're expecting President Biden to announce this massive release of oil from the Strategic reserve, something like a million barrels a day. Is that a sign that the war is starting to take a pinch on this country? Now? Well, I think we've certainly seen
the pinch, Nathan. You know, crude is up from this time last year, Gases at four for an average of Americans right now, so I think we're seeing that pinch. Biden has been under pressure from both parties to uh to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It's interesting they did release about fifty million barrels from the reserve back in November.
That helps momentarily, but prices obviously went up again. What they're talking about now is releasing one million barrels per day over several months, so trying to have it be more of a slow release as to help with prices. So it could help in the short term, but in the long term old depend a lot on US demand and also how other countries play this, if other members of the Internal International Energy Agency like Japan, France, Germany do the same, and also what OPEC plus chooses to
do with their meeting tomorrow. As always, thanks for joining us, Julie Norman, Co director of the Center on US Politics at University College London.

I'm Nathan Hagar and I'm Karen Moscow, and we're just about four hours away from the open of US trading. Let's get you have to date on the news you need to know at this hour. Ukraine says cease fire talks with Russia could resume tomorrow. This would follow negotiations that led to no cease fire but did have Russia
saying it would de escalate. Pentagon's spokesman John Kirby says it's less a de escalation and more like a repositioning. Some of those troops we assess a repositioning into Belarus. We don't have an exact number for you, but that's
our early assessments. Uh, none of them, we have seen none of them reposition to their home garrison in Pentagon spokesman John Kirby says the southern city of Mariopol is still taking heavy fire the meantime, Karen, it looks like Vladimir Putin may not be getting accurate information on the war.
Here's White House Communications Director Kate Bettingfield. We believe that Putin is being misinformed by his advisors about how badly the Russian military is performing and how the Russian economy is being crippled by sanctions because the senior advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth. Kate Beddingfield that the White House did not specify how the US got its intelligence on Putin, Well Nathan. Energy prices have climbed
sharply since the start of the war. Now, the Biden administration is weighing a massive release of oil from US reserves, and we get the latest live from Bloomberg's Randia Young. Good morning, Randina, Good morning Karen. Bloomberg sources say the White House is considering releasing about a mill in barrels of oil a day from US reserves for several months.
The total release could be as much as one eighty million barrels, and along with the plan comes a diplomatic push for the i e A to coordinate a global release by other countries. A final decision on that has not been reached yet, but Bloomberg sources say the White House may make an announcement on the US release as soon as today live in New York. I'm gonna need

New York City has dismantled

Mayor Eric Adams says the task force over the past two weeks is trying to clean up public spaces and connect people living on the streets with housing and social services. This city is now engaged in a multi agency mission with compassion and caring taken out time. Not rushing through this, but being compassionate to people who experience send terrible circumstances
that they're living through. Mayor Adams says anyone removed from the encampments was offered avoucher to pick up their items at another location. Donald Trump's son in law, Jared Kushner, is expected to speak today, but the committee investigating the January sixth attack on the Capitol bird flew is spreading in the US.

The Rangers won five four on an Andrew cop goal minute.
It happened over time, the only way the US men's national soccer team was not going to qualify for the World Cup was if they had lost in coastal Rico by six goals. They lost but only to nothing, so US heading the Qatar in November. The US failed to qualify for the World Cup four years ago.

The following is an editorial from Bloomberg Opinion. This editorial was written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board. Headlines about Russia's use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine have fueled fears that the US is falling behind its rivals in
developing such weapons. But before pouring tens of billions of dollars into a new arms race, the Pentagon needs to carefully assess how hypersonics would help meet its strategic goals. It could be cheaper and more effective to simply up grade existing missiles. What's more, US leaders should not lose sight of how destabilizing hypersonic weapons could become. While hypersonic arms control agreements are hard to imagine right now, they
may become necessary in the future. Pentagon planners are, of course right to carefully monitor the threat posed by hypersonics. The key is to avoid a costly overreaction. For sight and sensible investment will serve the US better than an unfettered new arms race would. The seditorial was written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board.

This is Bloomberg NA. Thanks Michael on Wall Street line from the Bloomberg intractor Brooker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and as Karen mentioned, we are getting ready to close the books on the first quarterly declined for stocks in two years. So what's
the rest of this year having store? With war inflation and a tighter fed in the foreground. Let's get insights now from Jeff Mortimer, director of investment strategy at b n y Melon Wealth Management. Jeffrey, you're looking forward to closing the books on this one. I guess you could say that, right. Markets unfortunately don't move in a straight line. And uh, you know, last year I remind investors, I was, I hosted a dinner last night, and it's nice to
be out on the road again. But you know, we're up on the SMP sometimes. You know, markets don't think in calendar years or quarters. Um. But certainly there has been some major changes. You know, I am impressed with the markets resiliency in spite of sort of all that has gone on. You know, if we do close the books, you know, down rough numbers among friends, you know, five percent or so. Um quite Uh, you know, I give the market credit for its resilience. Certainly, diversification hasn't helped.
That's been one of the pain points of the quarter. Or bonds typically move up when stocks have moved down. Historically most of the time, UM, that hasn't happened this quarter. Do you expect that resiliency to continue when we're facing a tighter FED and some talk of maybe fifty basis point moves at the next meeting, even more fifty basis point moves. You've heard talk of that as well in subsequent meetings. Yeah, we have in our base forecast now uh to uh to the next FED meetings will be
fifty basis points of peace. So if we are projecting that, I always remind investors the market is projecting that too. I want to, you know, remind investors the market prices in the most likely outcomes. It's doing that on a regular basis. And so a tighter FED, you know, I think is becoming priced into markets. I think we're gonna have to look out the yield curve and see what happens to to ten spreads. You're gonna have to look
at inversion of curves. You're gonna have to look at sort of what messages of the bond market maybe sending, which might be you know, slower growth going forward, so you might see the stock market kind of rotate into companies that can grow in a slower growth economy. I mean, I think that is a is a potential as the as the year sort of plays out. Also in a
midterm election year, this tends to be the weakest. The year of a four year presidential cycle anyway, intends to be back end loaded the uncertainty of the election, you know, as also in overhang to markets, although I think they're beginning to price in how that may end as well. So I think you know you have to bunckle up that. Our our advice to clients to stay at your target allocation.
We are not defensive on behalf of our clients. We are if you're sixty forty or fifty fifty from an allocation standpoint, we want you at that target, and we want you using weakness. If if you're underneath that target, you should be using weakness to make sure that you treat yourself up to that target. I think as you get into late two and into twenty three, it's possible
that you're in a lower inflationary environment. Naturally both sort of what of feed because of what the FET has done, and perhaps supply chains get better, perhaps O Macron or COVID nine King gets sort of put continues to get put behind us, and you might see yourself in a world in which you have low inflation, decent growth, FED which has most of its work behind it, and decent
valuations and stocks. We still think earnings sort of hold tight this year around twenty on the SMP, and again multiples may contract a bit, But as long as that those earnings sort of sit underneath markets, I think we should still be in a pretty good place, you know, as we look out six twelve or eighteen months. All that said, in our last thirty seconds here, Jeff, what's your target for the SMP at the end of the year. So our target is is right about where we are today.
I mean that the rally of the past you know, three or four weeks has been impressive. Our target is between forty three and undred for the SMPI year end, and then we'll probably take it up, you know, another ten percent into next year if sort of what we see um as we've talked about earlier, sort of plays out, and we are looking for the SMP to open the final day of this first quarter at oh two. Jeff,
thanks for this really appreciated dear insights this morning. Jeff Mortimer, director of Investment Strategy at b n Y melon Wealth Management, Karen Nathan. It is five three on Wall Street. It's time for the Bloomberg Law Report, and we get to the legal stories we're watching this morning. From Bloomberg's Jeff Villinger. A federal judge in Texas ordered track Cell Technologies to reimburse Sprint and Verizon for attorneys fees after track Cell
pursued meritist patent suits against the wireless companies. Employers in Washington State will have to include a salary or pay range in their help Wanted ads under a new state law aimed at increasing pay transparency to prevent discrimination. A Planned Parenthood affiliate is challenging Idaho's new anti abortion law, which prohibits abortions after cardiac activity is detected. The suit
says the law violates the state constitution. Bloomberg Law everything you need, all on one legal research platform, including guidance analysis and Bloomberg Market Intelligence. Find out more at Bloomberg Law dot com. All right, Jack, thank you now. Another legal story we're watching brings us at the planned kidnapping
of Michigan Governor Gretchen whitmer In. After thirteen days of trial, prosecutors rested their case yesterday against the four men charged in the matter, but more attention was focused outside the courtroom, where the FBI rated a home in suburban Detroit in response to threats made against the judge and defense attorneys in the case. Data show federal judges where the target of more than forty five hundred threats and inappropriate communications
last year. For more in the matter, Bloomberry student Grosso speaks to Matthew Schneider, former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan and now a partner at Huntinggman. Online threats were made to the judge and two of the defense attorneys. The FBI conducted a raid in suburban Detroit, but no one was a rested. How unusual are these kinds of threats in the middle of a trial, Well, unfortunately, it's not all that unusual. In the middle of any
type of criminal trial that's high profile. You'll have threats to the parties involved. And here's the judge and the defense attorneys. And the key I think is whether or not the jury finds out about this. And it's not really relevant to the trial, to the case at hand, so most likely the jury will never know that in the middle of the trial, there were threats made. But you know, in our day and age, more and more is happening that that defendants and prosecutors and judges are
indeed being threatened. It's kind of a sad commentary on our society. Oftentimes you hear about prosecutors being threatened rather than defense attorneys. Do prosecutors have protection a certain amount? When I was a prosecutor, I carried a gun and I was a deputy U. S. Marshal at the same time, I was deputized because of threats, And that happens because so many people just take man is into their own hands. But both prosecutors and defense attorneys are always targets, and
sometimes for different reasons. The prosecution might be targeted because the defendants or whoever else does look like what they're doing. But then the defense attorneys themselves can be targets because people might not like the way they're approaching the case or they think they're not doing a good enough job. So either way, there can be threats. And the judge in this case has been careful about security. He's keeping the jurors name secrets. So do you think that's because
of the nature of the case. Yes, and you often see that in very high profile maskia cases or mob cases or cases with a lot of violence to keep the jurors out of it. So that that protects the jurors and it makes them feel better and more comfortable
in actually doing the deliberation.
