Katie Nixon, his chief investment

officer at Northern Trust. I mean, I think valuation is very fragile in this rising rate environment here, and then at the same time, you've got some fundamentals that you know at best are sort of flattening out and at worst are showing some declining trends and nets such is sort of the poster child joined now by Amazon, that's really showing the weakening of demand.

Japanese institutional managers are now

fueling a great bond sell off. The largest overseas holder of treasuries has offloaded almost sixty billion dollars over the past three months. That's a warding to data from BEMO Capital Markets.

And let's say that more than seals a fifty basis point grade increase from

the Fed on Wednesday. It raises the question of whether the FED needs to keep raising by fifty or even seventy five going forward. They won't say, but Chairman j Powe will be asked about it at his news conference. The Fed will also be detailing how and when it will start reducing the balance sheet and trying to reassure

Americans inflation is their top priority. Michael McKie Bloomberg Daybreak.

Michael Barr and this is Bloomberg. Nathan Alright, Michael, Thanks, It's five nineteen on Wall Street Live from the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. As we get ready to kick off a new trading month. We are joined by Brian Levitt,

global market strategist at invest Go. Brian, it's great to speak with you this morning. And you know the old saying selling may go away, but investors already took care of that in April. So where now, Brian? Yeah, you know, and actually historically selling may and go away hasn't been as good as a strategy as as people as people think that it's been. Um. Yeah, Look, it's gonna be challenging. We're still in an environment where the Federal Reserve needs

the tightened policy pretty significantly. We we know that we've got pretty strong demand, which is good for the economy, but we've also got supply challenges and so for the Fed to bring down inflationary pressure, they're gonna have to work on the demand side, which is tightening of financial conditions, which means, you know, equities and credit are still likely to be volatile. The good news is, um, a lot of pain has has already been brought to these markets.

We don't think a recession is in the off things, so you know, we should start to see some signs of of equity markets of bottoming. But but again it's gonna be a challenging process. Ultimately, I think we'll we'll find our way through it, but but investors should expect more volatility along the way. So you don't think this

market has found bottom yet. I think we're certainly getting closer. Typically, what you see is a a larger capitulation amongst tail investors um, you know, and I think we're starting to get closer. We're starting to see some signs of a pretty extreme barishness. We've got a lot of names within the embassy is trading well below um, you know, fifty and two D day moving averages. So so we're starting

to get there. I think the challenges that financial conditions have tightened, but perhaps have not tightened as as much as they need to in order to start bringing inflationary pressures down. So you know that, as always, we don't want to fight the Fed. The Fed is going to have to to tighten financial conditions further, which which could

put some pressure in markets. But ultimately our view is that inflationary pressures will start to trend in the right direction, the FED will front load those interest rate hikes UM and then the hope is and our belief is is that as inflationary pressures moderate, the FED will be able to back off their tightening stands and thus not causing over I should in the economy, which should provide a better backdrop for markets. When you say front loading interest

rate hikes, are you thinking multiple fifty basis point moves? Uh? And how many? Yeah, that's what we're hearing. That's what the market is already pricing in. So you know, the market is already expecting fifty basis point hikes at the next three meetings, which I believe is the right way to go. Look, the bond market has already priced in a lot of the move. Um. Yes, equities have sold

off as you would expect when policy starts to shift. Um, we might as well go ahead and and start to deliver on those rate hikes so we can start to tighten financial conditions further and and start to bring down inflationary pressures. So where do you advise your clients to adjust their portfolios in this kind of rate hiking cycle with a front loading FED over the next few months. Yeah, you start to prepare for the slow down in economic activity.

Now people think of a slowdown and economic activity is ominous. Usually equities performed well in a slowdown in economic activity. You want to shift towards higher quality, more defensive, cash flow generating businesses, away from the speculative type names that drove a lot of the market in in one I think is government bonds tend to provide nice ballot in a slowdown, and everybody's fleeing government bonds as interest rates move up, but an equity government bond bar bell tends

to do well in a slowdown. The bigger question there, Nathan, is due is the next move from there a contraction or our inflationary pressure is gonna come down, allowing the consumer to start to feel better and we move back into a more expansionary environment. The latter would be my view, but for now it's a slowdown. Higher quality investments tend to do well in a slowdown. So in our last thirty seconds here, Brian, you're still expecting that the S and P is gonna end this year higher than than

it did last year. Well, I mean, we've we've certainly got a lot to dig out of, so I think that'll be a challenge. The question is whether you know where we go from here again? I expect some near term volatility, but ultimately I think the markets will start to to grind higher from where we are now. Now, does that mean a positive year for markets? That's gonna be tough, right, That would that would envision a pretty significant move from where we are now, given how much

damage has already been done. But can we move higher from here? Yeah? Again, it's gonna be volatile, but typically markets tend to perform well in a slow down phase so long as the FED doesn't have to tighten the screws so significantly. Thanks for this, Brian, great having you

on with us.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has long been known as the world top public health agency, but throughout the pandemic, the CDC

has stumbled repeatedly. To be sure, some of the agency's troubles have stemmed from political interference as well as the inherent challenges of dealing with a new virus, but the CDC also made needless errors, such as distributing faulty COVID tests in the early days of the outbreak. To prevent such mistakes in the future, a thorough a review of laboratory operations and improvements to data collection and reporting are needed.

Although the CDC lacks the regulatory powers that its counterparts in other countries have, it can still provide crucial data expertise and advice to health officials and the public alike. First, though, it needs to rebuild the trust that it had long taken for granted. This editorial was written by the Bloomberg Opinion Editorial Board. I'm David Shipley.

Him Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg, Nathan, Michael, thank you. It is on Wall Street Live from the

Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and this is the week when the FED is expected to kick off an aggressive hiking cycle to get a handle on forty year inflation. For more, we're joined by Matthew Lozzette, chief US economist at Deutsche Bank Securities. Matt, it's good to speak with you this morning. Does the FED deliver what the market is expecting in front load multiple fifty basis point modes? Sure, Thanks so much for having me.

I think no doubt, for the SET has been sending pretty strong signals this week that they will kick off with a fifty basis point rate hike move in addition to that that they will announce QT the draw down of their balance sheet. We think most likely that that begins in June. But I think the most more uncertainty is around what signals do we get from chair Pal

about the path from here. I think that they won't tell you about any specific sequence, but that he will affirm further fifty basis point moves at least one UH, and that he will continue to talk about expeditiously quote unquote getting back to a neutral policy setting by the end of this year. Ultimately, we think that will high grates again by fifty basis points in June and July UH and that the that at that funds rate will peak eventually around three and a half percent next year.

Do the signs of contraction that we got last week the one point four percent negative move in GDP have any impact on the on the FEDS path going forward, not yet. The composition of that was one that the underlying economy still has pretty good momentum. We had strong consumer spending growth, strong capex growth, residential investment actually added, and what was actually a driver of the court of the downturn was some courts in the trade data, inventories,

and government spending. So I think the SET is looking at the economy that's still has very meaningful momentum in the labor market. I think we'll see that this week, probably with the job openings data and jolts tomorrow, and then this Friday with the labor report, and that that labor market momentum is feeding an inflationary economy, both from price inflation and wage inflation. Certainly as we saw with

the e c I data on Friday. One that is, Chapel called it tight to an unhealthy level and one that requires the Fed to hike aggressively in the near term and likely to get to a restrictive stance next year. What would it take, Matt for the Fed to consider a seventy five basis point move. We've got fifty fifty odds in the market that that's going to happen at

some point. Yeah. We we saw Jim Buller, the St. Louis FED President, a few weeks ago, begin to at least float the notion of of considering it, although some of his colleagues then you rather quickly suggested that it

wasn't a desirable outcome. I think the way that we're seeing the FEDS response now is is upfront a sequence of fifty basis point moves, and as long as inflation begins to show or continues to show some evidence of dissipation, as long as you see the labor market begin to cool in some ways with labor demand come down, that that will be the sequence that they take and then can ease into a five basis point wage high cycle

from there. I think the risk scenario is one in which inflation re accelerate and perhaps inflation expectations begin to show some updrift and moving higher. That would be one that the febry becomes very worried about. Um the inflation expectations have been the one remaining elements of the inflation picture that has looked positive, So if those were to turn did be more worried, And that's where I think the seventy five basiness point moves could come into the picture.

Are you expecting that we're going to see any signs of cooling to labor market demand when we get the jobs report on Friday, so I think you could see some evidence tomorrow and the JOLTS, and I think the JOLTS is just taking on a lot more importance these days because Chairpal has talked about the fact that labor demand has to come down. We've seen evidence from the NFIB, the Small Business survey of job openings coming off. Also the indeed private market data has rolled over a little bit,

so we could see some evidence there on Friday. Though, we continue to expect to see a strong labor market works by seeing four sixty five thousand jobs to be added, the unemployment rate to take down further to three and a half percent. We'll have to see what happens with wage growth. We're expecting some moderation in the year of

the year terms. That would be an important data point to watch, But for the time being, all the data we see jobless claims remaining near decade the levels what we're seeing in the labor market also, just at least in the near term, the labor market has a lot of momentum.

All right, Jeff, thank you. Now another legal story we're watching. What will happen when free speech absolutist elon must takes control of Twitter,

one of the most influential social media platforms. Must idealized view of Twitter as a haven for unfederate speech will face trade offs and inevitably have to be made for more a bloomberg s June Grosso speaks to First Amendment law expert Eugene Veloka, professor at u c l A Law School, in trying to explain his position on freedom of speech, he tweeted, quote, I simply mean that which matches the law? Is he showing in thinking that it's

a simple concept like that? Well, I think you said, He tweeted that, Well, you can't capture even First Amendment rules in two eight characters or less, and you certainly can't capture the possible differences between free speech and First Amendment rules in Twitter naty characters or less. You know, if you want to kind of take a first cut, admittedly oversimplified view, you might say, yes, our view should be the Twitter should generally speaking, protect free speech at

least so long as it's not illegal speech. So, no, we won't host child pornography. No, we won't host things that are clearly conspiracy to commit crimes or kind of accounts that are being used for criminal conspiracy. Let's say we won't host copyright infringement because that's illegal. But pretty much all other things. Generally speaking, we're going to host maybe there'll be a few exceptions, but they really should be very narrow exceptions. It's a plausible way of thinking

about these. Some civil rights advocates have said that minimizing content moderation would disproportionately harm women and minorities. Does a kind of minimally moderated Twitter posed dangers well, of course, free speech poses dangerous. Free speech is always posed dangerous. That's one reason why governments do, indeed try to restrict and there's nothing special about those dangers for the women,

or as the minorities, or as to others. Just to give an example, there's been a lot of attacks on police officers recently, and some of them seem to be prompted by kind of very harsh criticism and kind of dehumanizing criticisms of police officers, and that's something that is a downside of speech. Of course, speech is potentially harmful, but generally speaking, when it comes to the First Amendment, we take the view that on balance, it's better for everyone.

And historically this has been especially important for various out of favor minority groups that speech be protected, because when speech is restricted that keeps be book from being able to argue about what they think are genuine wrongs and to advocate for for change and as Eugene Vallaka, professor at u c l A Law School, speaking with the Bloomberg jere In Grasso, catch more of that interview plus analysis of the latest legal news by subscribing to the
