Maybe, Nathan, we will have more on the markets in just a minute, but first, the latest on the fallout from f t X. The founder of the collapsed crypto exchange is now apologizing. Let's get the latest

live with Bloomberg. Steve rapp Aboard, Good morning Steve, Good morning, Amy, and Nathan. In a mia colpa to employees, disgraced ft X founder Sam Bankman Freed says he didn't mean for any of this to happen, and he would give anything to go back and do things over again. The crypto exchange collapsed about two weeks ago, fueled by a credit squeeze, virtual coins sell offs, and what bankman Fried calls a run on the bank. He also disclosed collateral crashed by

fifty one billion dollars as ft X spiraled. Bankruptcy proceeding so far paint f t X as a company with poor record keeping and other questionable practices Live in New York Time, Steve Rappaport Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Steve, thank you. The collapse of f t X shocked much of the financial world, including Cathy Would. The ARC Investment CEO, says the exchange clearly lacked oversight. The fact that so many

people were completely fooled um is quite shocking. And you know, I think he had this aura around him or something that caused people to to to ask fewer questions than might otherwise have been the case. Kathy Wood made the comments in an interview with Carol Master and Tim Stenovic on Bloomberg Business Week. You can watch the show live on YouTube weekdays from two to five Eastern. Catch more of that conversation with Cathy Would coming up shortly here

on Bloomberg Daybreak and Nathan. Another major story we are following comes from overseas. Credit Sweets warning of a massive fourth quarter loss. We got to London now and get the latest live with Bloomberg's You and Parts, Good Morning You, and good morning Amy and Nathan. Credit Sweet clients pulled as much as eight billion dollars from the bank during the first few weeks of this quarter, underlying the ongoing concerns over the bank's restructuring efforts after years of scandals.

The Swiss Bank is warning today it's facing a loss of up to one point six billion dollars for the final three months of this year, and in China, the company is said to be acting at least a third of its investment banking workforce. Credit Sweet shares currently down almost five percent in London, I'm You and Parts, Bloomberg Day breaks, all right, you and Thanks, and job cuts are continuing here in the US. The latest at HP, the tech company, says it will eliminate as many as

six thousand positions over the next three years. HP says declining demand for personal computers is cutting into profits, and Twitter has also been cutting jobs sharply ever since Elon Musk took over that company. Now we're learning it's lost more than half of its in house lawyers. Bloomberg said. Baxter has that story from our nine sixty news room in San Francisco. This includes several senior attorneys, and it raises some concerns about the depth of legal knowledge that

remains with the company. Bloomberg sources say this leaves only Head of Litigation James Baker and International Legal chief Regina Lima in leadership roles in the department. There is enough concern that, the sources say, there may not be enough legal expertise remaining in house to know which outside law firms are handling certain matters. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg daybreak and thanks were three weeks away from the next decision from the Federal Reserve. In Central Bank

officials are speaking on policy. Kansas City Fed President Ester George says significant US household savings could have implications for how high rates need to rise. While high savings is likely to provide momentum to consumption and require higher interest rates, it's certainly positive that we see that these households are wealthier, less financially constrained, and better ensured. But that said, reduced inflation will mean we have to incent saving over consumption.

Kansas City FED President Esther George made those comments in Santiago during a panel discussion hosted by the Central Bank of Chile and Dathan. We have a slew of economic reports this morning, much more than usual ahead of the Thanksgiving Day holiday. We get a preview now from Bloomberg Economics correspondent Michael McKee, who can't have a holiday until the data dump is done. Seven different indicators will be

released on Thanksgiving Eve. They vary in importance. The capital goods section of durable goods orders represents business spending trends, so that will get attention. Wall Street watches jobless claims as sort of a canary in a coal mine for the labor market, and the Fed has made a big deal out of the University of Michigan's inflation expectations numbers. Slightly less important mortgage applications and new home sales. We know higher interest rates are crippling the housing markets. Of

interest will be whether home prices keep falling. S and p purchasing managers indexes will be overshadowed by next week's I s M report, and, barring surprise, the Minutes of the feds November second meeting won't likely add much to the rate outlook. They're three weeks old and almost everyone on the FED has offered their views since that meeting. Michael McKee Bloomberg Daybreaking, all Right, Mike Thanks, and other news.

Authorities in Chesapeake, Virginia are investigating a mass shooting at a Walmart last night. Police spokesperson Leo Kazinski says several people are dead and

several others are injured. It's sad, you know, we're a couple of days before the Thanksgiving holiday. I mean, anytime that's a said, and it's just it's just just a bad time all around, you know. It's just for everybody involved, especially the victims. Like this is as noorable. Police spokesman Kazinski says, it's believe there was only one shooter, who was now dead. The FBI is now assisting in the investigation.

The alleged shooter facing possible hate crime charges, and the fatal shooting of five people at the Colorado Springs Gay nightclub has a court appearance today. The suspects defense team listed Anderson Lee Aldridge as non binary. The motive in the shooting is still under investigation. New York Governor Kathy Hocle says the state will take larger strides in trying

to prevent hate crimes. Hocal sign two pieces of legislation into law that aims to educate people about what is considered hate speech and how that speech could potentially turn into violent acts. Ordinary New Yorkers are out there seeing the same thing. I want them to be part of our team. I want others to come with that early warning system when they see this or they hear someone in their schools saying something. This is what red flag

laws are also all about. One bill that Governor Hocal sign requires people convicted of a hate crime to undergo hate crime prevention training. New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled new plans to close more Street It's in Midtown Manhattan to traffic in December. Adams says one part calls for a section of Fifth Avenue to be closed completely to allow holiday shoppers to walk about. But this gab

driver says that means less room for cars. I think it's horrible to close it because you're just gonna create great luck everywhere else. You know. It's like it's like it's like having a blood clock over here. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are hitting the roads where the Thanksgiving getaway.

I'm Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg Amy. All right, thank you, Michael. It's five nineteen on Wall Street Live from the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. We're not going to bring you an interview

with our investment CEO, Cathy Wood. She's reiterating her faith in crypto assets in the wake of ft x is collapse and offering support for Elon Musk's Twitter strategy. She talked about those topics and more in an interview with Carol Masser and Tim Stentovic on Bloomberg Business Week. Let's listen in. I gotta talk to you about the crypto space. You um, you know, it's it's a world you know

really well. We think about the ft X collapse, the bankruptcy proceedings today, the coming undone of Sam Makman freed. You know, you have been buying into some of the different names in the crypto space, coin Base, gray Scale, Bitcoin trust. Why should investors trust crypto? Why do you

trust crypto at this point? Yes, if you look at the block chains, let's let's use uh uh the Bitcoin blockchain and Ethereum, what you'll find is they have the infrastructure, that technology has not skipped a beat throughout this entire crisis. In fact, the hash rate, Bitcoin's hash rate is at an all time high, and that is a real indication of the security of the network. On Ethereum, we're seeing the total value uh staked at twenty four billion, that

is an all time high. So we think the infrastructure is working beautifully. UM. As far as coin base, UH, this is an onshore regulated UH company and wanting to help shape regulations. Brian Armstrong, the CEO and Alicia uh CFO have been leaning in into what's going on right now and saying, okay, regulators, we need more clarity in order to protect to protect investors, those who wanted to get involved with a certain types of crypto. We're forced

off shore. And look at what's happened. So um I I think that coin base is going to come out here looking very very strong. It just lost a very big competitor in f t X. Well what is the market missing though, because you know that could be one narrative, Cathy. But at the same time, we haven't exactly seen shares of coin based rally since f t x is collapse. Do you think to you that represents potentially broader concern about just people's interest in crypto following ft x is collapse. No,

I think it's more fear. I think many people say, we don't know what we don't know? Uh and uh so what we do is we step back, you know, put a little perspective into the situation here, and what do we have? Many people are saying, well, okay, is this another lehman? Could this be uh you know, could could we see the domino effect here? I've just given you one reason why the banking system back in oh eight oh nine trillions and trillions of dollars, and it

was the global banking system. Right now we have it seems from ft X five to ten billion dollars in creditors. If as h as f t X has filed bankruptcy, they will be making claims. If you look at Lehman, that was one point to trillion dollars in claims. So again just trying to put perspective, this is fraud. This is made off, made off with sixty four billion dollars in claims. Again f t X five to ten billion.

And when I switch gears if I can, and I was thinking about Twitter and Tesla, how do you make sense of Elon Musk? So when you know you've talked to you've been investor in Tesla for a long time, are you comfortable with his actions around Twitter of firing people hiring them back? Um, you know the verified check. Do you feel comfortable with this name? And I should put out that right. You own private shares of Twitter, and I have talked about wanting to own more. Yes,

we do. We we saw we owned Twitter for quite a while and we sold it into the rumors that Ellen was going to buy it because we knew there would be a lot of controversy around that, so it moved into the sixties. I think it got to seventy and we sold there and have been watching. UM have been watching from the sidelines. But if you look at that model longer run, it has not delivered on the promise.

And you know, I think opening up the algorithms, which we think he will do, and taking away the kind of human driven censorship and UH, and and allowing the transparency of the algorithms that they do put put out there, you know, allowing people to question them. I think it's going to be very healthy. If you look at the daily average users, I think the various metrics that you

can count daily, they have been going up dramatically. So you know, if you I know a lot of people who who you know, basically UH, decided to quit Twitter because they didn't like the kind of censorship and so forth that was going on. So I actually like what he's doing. And that was Kathy Wood with ARC Investments speaking with Bloomberg Business Week.

Hundreds of workers at the Fox con factory battled security personnel after almost a month of tougher restrictions intended to quash a COVID outbreak, and Nathan back here in the U S. Twitter turmoil continues. Bloomberg sources say after recent job cuts, there may not be enough in house legal expertise at Twitter to know which outside law firms are handling certain matters.

Even so, Elon Musk still has his fair share of supporters, including Arc Investment CEO Cathy Would. Various metrics that you can count daily. They have been going up dramatically. So I know a lot of people who decided to quit Twitter because they didn't like censorship and so forth that was going on. So I actually like what he's doing.

Good morning, Michael, Good morning Amy. Virginia police said multiple people are dead and others are

wounded after a shooting at Walmart last night. Chesapeake Police spokesman Leo Kazinski says authorities believe there was one shooter who is dead. Kazinski was asked what the shooter was killed by law enforcement. I don't believe someone. I can't say that for sure, so that's still being part of the investigations. It's all because it all happened very very quickly, very dynatic, a lot of a lot of people involved, a lot of officers. The gunman is believed to be

an employee or former employee. The Virginia shooting comes three days after a person opened fire at a gay nightclub in Colorado, killing five and the wounding seventeen. The suspect and the deadly attack at Club Q and Colorado Springs is set to face a judge today. A family friend says twenty two year old Anderson Lee Aldrich was bullied as a team. New York Governor Kathy Hokell signed two pieces of legislation into law in trying to prevent hate

crimes from taking place. Governor HOCl says it aims to educate people about what is considered hate speech and how that speech could potentially turn into violent acts. We can't ignore that there's been a loss of civility and respect of individuals, and that has been the collateral damage. One measura will require people who were convicted of a hate crime to take a training course on hate crime prevention.

The Supreme Court has cleared the way for our House Committee to get Donald Trump's tax returns Bloomberg's backs the reports. This covers six years of returns as it goes to the House Ways and Means Committee, High Court issuing no explanation or any public descent.

he will kill any such investigations. The Committee, in its arguments said it needed returns to consider potential legislation and oversight on presidential compliance.

Bloomberg Opinion. This editorial was written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board. Building anything in the US requires Naviga aiding a rainforest of red tape. Green energy projects are no exception, wind, hydropower, geothermal, solar, nuclear. However desirable such endeavors maybe there are no match for the sheer obstructive power of state and federal rule books.

Permitting for these projects takes nearly three years on average, while the preparation time for environmental impact statements has risen more than fifty cent since two thousand. Without change, this system could well swart the US's climate goals across federal agencies. New efforts are needed to maximize exemptions, speed reviews, and otherwise prioritize clean energy projects, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle should prioritize permitting reform. Elected officials are

quick to call climate change and existential threat. They should show a little more urgency. This editorial was written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board.

I'm Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg all right, Thank you, Michael. It is on Wall Street Live from the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and Black Friday is right around the more, but inflation is likely going to

have an impact. We get a holiday sales preview with Bloomberg Intelligent Senior US retail analyst Poonham Goyle pot thank you for taking the time with us, just it's a pleasure. What does holiday spending look like this year? It's not going to be as great as it has been in the past, but it's still expected to be up four to eight percent for the season, within store shopping being the outlier winning the season versus online compared to prior years.

Is that a surprise? What does online holiday shopping look like this year? You know, i'mline holiday shopping is still going to be up, but it's going to be up in the single digits and usually in the past online has always been up double digits, So it's a slowdown. Part of the reason for the slowdown is people are going back to stories right come after the pandemic, and there was such a surge in the past few years. At growth rates are just normalizing to then accelerate again

next year. So we think it's a temporary reset in two to then re accelerate again in so will shoppers be able to find good deals good sales? Yeah? Absolutely, um all year retailers have been piling inventory as a stuff ordered last year through the pandemic when it wasn't coming because of poor congestion has all kind of come into play this year, so they have too much inventory on hand, and when that happened, you start to discount more.

The discounts are going to be paramounts this holiday season. We will see more discounting than we have in the last few years, for sure, which is going to entice people to shop, because not only are you know, discounts get people to shop, but it's also when they're seeking value, amit inflation that we've seen here today? What will those discounts then mean for the stores or the businesses who

are the winners and losers this holiday season? Ye know, discounts little pressure margins, for sure, they have been so far this year. But the promotions that were about to see over the coming side day weekend Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, those were kind of built in right When you see, for example, video games dropped from sixty dollars to thirty dollars only over Black Friday through Cyber Monday. That's the discount,

but that's built into their holiday outlook. I think the question is going to be after the five day holiday, did retailers have a good sell through and if they did, we could see discounts be in line with what their expectations were. Though it still stales did not materialize and the discounts become more aggressive than planned, which is possible that that's always not good for margin and they need

to clear inventory. They need to enter three Fresh, so they are going to aggressively discount to make sure that they can do that. Bluttom, is there anything you were watching for specifically in the next few weeks. I think inventory levels really, you know, as we walked the stores, as we look online, we're going to see the level of discounting and see how aggressive it is. I can

tell you prior to the pandemic. You know, when I was walk into stores and if I saw a ninety percent off sales rack at one of the stories, that indicates that there's a problem. There's way too much inventory and they're trying to just clear um clear merchandise in a frenzy. We don't want to see that again, right. That just means that there's more damage to margin. So we'll be watching closely at the level of discounting and promotions and lines and baskets of shoppers and stories. This

weekend to kind of see who's really taking share. You know, in the past we've seen green airy bags floating around the malls and that was a good signal for American Eagle, lulum in, etcetera. So we'll be watching for things like that. All Right, Punham, thank you so much. Bloomberg Intelligent, Senior US retail analyst at Pooham Coile Nathan all right, Amy, thank you.

Department investigations in years concerning former President Donald Trump. They are the criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the twenty election and the retention of classified documents at Trump's Florida estate marl Lago. Smith will have to move quickly to ensure his work concludes before the home stretch of presidential election, given that the Justice Department's historic interest in avoiding action that could be seen as interfering in the outcome of

a race. For more, Bloomberg's June Grosso speaks with former federal prosecutor Robert Mintz, a partner at McCarter and English. Would Garland have appointed a special counsel if charges were not under consideration already. Well, that's a great question, and

it does suggest that charges are being seriously considered. The mere fact that Merrick Garland has taken this extraordinary step and appointed a special prosecutor, suggests that he has already come to the conclusion that there is a possibility that charges will be brought here. I don't think that he would have taken this step unless the evidence had at least passed a threshold where there was a possibility that charges could be brought. You don't typically bring a special

prosecute or somebody to wind down an investigation. He obviously believed that there is credible evidence here that needs to be investigated, and that's who I can named Jack Smith as a special prosecutor. He Smith up against the clock here because of the upcoming elections, So they are a bit under the gun because they have to try to complete this investigation in a timely fashion so that it

will not interfere with the upcoming election. I think, as a realistic matter, if charges are to be brought against President Trump, it will likely have to be done sometime in the spring of three because they do not want to bring charges and then have a trial pending while an election is coming up. So if they're going to bring charges and actually try a case before elections, there's not much time left. These charges will likely have to

be brought by the spring of three. So part of Justice regulations say that you cannot bring charges in sixty or ninety days ahead of an election. But here we're really talking about a situation where, if charges are brought, the great thing to do is to allow enough time to have that trial actually take place before the election.

And bear in mind, this is not going to be an ordinary trial, and it may drag out longer than most trials would typically in the federal system, if somebody's indicted for a federal crime, you can expect to go to trial within about a year. But if there were to be an indictment of a former president, it would certainly raise some new questions of lost, some novel issues that would likely be litigated, and probably drag the case

out even longer. So, while the special prosecutor is getting on board here, and while he does have the benefit of having Department of Justice investigators and prosecutors who have been working on this case who will continue to work under his supervision, he has a steep mountain declined here to try to learn exactly what's been going on and make some very big decisions in the near term. That's former federal prosecutor Robert mint speaking with Bloomberg's June Grosso.
