Futures are moving higher this morning, we're coming up to five oh one on Wall Street, and we checked the markets every

seven percent. NIMEX Screwed is hired by two and a quarter percent, or a dollar seventy five at seventy nine dollars nine cents in barrel, and comic gold is up seven cents percent at seventeen seventounce Jehan and Nathan, we begin with a highly anticipated speech by the FED chair J. Powell. It takes place right in the middle of today's trading. Let's get a preview from Bloomberg Economics correspondent Michael McKee.
When the FED chairman speaks, he usually moves markets, probably not this time, though investors have firmly priced in a half percentage point increase in the Fed's target rate, and none of the FED speakers in recent weeks has taken issue with that. What J Powell may want to do is set some guidelines for the new Fed guidance on rates coming December fourteen. There's general agreement among policymakers the ultimate level of the target rate will be higher than
their last forecast of four point six percent. Markets now see it at five. Paul could offer guidance on whether that's about right and about how long it would take the Fed to get there. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, thanks Mike, and Bloomberg Radio and Television will bring you live coverage of pale speech this afternoon. You can catch that around one thirty pm. Ball Street Time. We'll have that speech. John. We continue to hear tough talk on
interest rates from Fed officials. Let's get the latest live with Bloomberg. Steve Rappaport, Good morning, Steve, Good morning, Nathan, and John. St. Louis. Fed President Jim Bullard estimates an interest rate of at least four point nine percent would be needed to bring inflation down next year, but former New York Fed president and Bloomberg columnists Bill Dudley predicts an even higher rate in the short term. But I think once we get you know, five and a quarter,
five and a half I think felt the relent. They'll just stid sit there and wait for that restrictive Madre policy to slow the commy down generate more slack in the layer market. The FETE is expected to announce another rate hike next month. Live in New York. I'm Steve Rappaport, Bloomberg day Break. All right, thanks Steven, and let's turn to the economic news out of Asia. Now. Data show COVID restrictions are continuing to hamper growth for the Chinese economy.
Bloomberg Daybreak, Asia anchor Brian Curtis is more from Hong Kong. Tough COVID restrictions on consumers and businesses. Weight on activity. The official p m I felt to forty eight this month. That's the lowest reading since April and worst than the estimate of forty nine in a Bloomberg survey. The Non Manufacturing Index declined to forty six point seven from forty eight point seven in October. That was also lower than estimated. About a quarter of China's total GDP is said to
be affected by COVID lockdowns. Brian Curtis, Bloomberg day Break, Brian, thanks, and we may see China starting to enact as softer stance on COVID restrictions. Stories of people who survived infections are popping up in state run media, something that had not been published previously. Local governments are now vowing to prioritize the public over COVID control. The People's Daily, a mouthpiece for the Communist Party, is urging citizens to take
responsibility for their own health. It's the last training day of the month, and November was a good month for Chinese stocks listed in the US. There were up If that level holds today, it would be the best month ever. It's also been a good run for global bonds. They added a record two point a trillion dollars in market value in November. All right, let's turn to politics now. John Congress is moving fast to prevent a possible strike by rail workers. We get the details from Amy Morris
in our Bloomberg newsroom in Washington. There will be two votes in the House today. The first vote is on a bill to avert the strike by passing the tentative agreement. The second would be an up or down vote on whether to add seven days of paid sickly railroads. Lawmakers are reluctantly intervening to avoid what would be a devastating blow to the nation's economy if the supply chain of fuel, food, and other critical goods were disrupted. Once it passes the House,
the bill heads to the Senate for consideration. The deadline foreign agreement is December nine. In Washington, I'm any Morris, Bloomberg Daybreak, Yeah, thanks Samy. Also in Washington today, lawmakers are getting a visit from Apple's CEO, Tim Cook. Utility plans to meet with top Republican lawmakers, and Bloomberg's Ad Baxter has the story. The aim, according to Bloomberg sources, is to forge ties with GOP leadership ahead of the
party's take over the House next year. He has scheduled sessions with Republican representatives Jim Jordan, darryl Issa and Kathy McMorris Rogers. Jordan and McMorris Rodgers are likely to share top committees overseeing the tech industry when the GOP does take over. The meetings were likely scheduled before the exchange
of messages between Cook and Elon Musk a Twitter. Several conservative Republicans, including Jordan's, have been very critical of Apple, and Jordan has become a Musk supporter in San Francisco. I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Daybreak, all right, and thank you. And the shake up continues at Disney, with Bob Iger reinstated as CEO. The company now says changes to its management and strategy could come at a cost. We get
that story from bloomberg S Doug Prisoner. Returning CEO, Bob Iger recently told staff he's considering changes to the company's management structure, and a regulatory filing shows plans may include modifying the way Disney releases and exhibits movies and TV shows, including the platforms for initial distribution. As a result, Disney says, once determined that changes could result in impairment charges, changes in consumer behavior favor online platforms. However, streaming services are
struggling to turn a profit. Last year, Disney lost four
billion dollars on its online TV businesses.

John, thank you very much, sirah. New York City Mayor Eric Adams is directing police and city medics to be more aggressive about getting severely mentally ill people off the streets and subways and into treatment. Adams says, that's the case, even if it means involuntarily hospitalizing some
people who refuse care. We can no longer deny the reality that untreated psychosis can be a cruel and all consuming condition that often eyes involuntary intervention. The mayor's announcement was condemned as wrongheaded by some civil rights groups and advocates for the homeless. The NYPD is searching for a man who snuck into the Park Hyat hotel in Manhattan
and left behind a suspicious white powdery substance. Police say the parting guests dropped a hotel room key on the street, and someone snuck into the unoccupied hotel room and spent the night. A cleaning worker reported being sickened by what was described as a suspicious white substance left behind in the room. Assistant Chief James McCarthy of the NYPD Fighter Problems swapped various surfaces of the room, which initially indicated that it was there was a possible trace of amount
of explosive substance. Assistant Chief McCarthy says the powder tested negative. The Senate has passed landmark bipartisan legislation to protect same sex marriages.

Michael bar this is Bloomberg, John, Michael, thank you. It is now five nineteen on Wall Street and we were lying for the Bloomberg Interact of Brokers Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. But after years of a tough COVID zero policy,
China seems to be softening its rhetoric. The seeming moderation comes after the zero tolerance policy sparked widespread social unrest. And for the latest let's hit the Beijing, we're joined by Bloomberg China government reporter Lucy lou Lucy, what is the official line from Beijing and the government? Hi, John, Yes,
So we've seen definitely some easing in the rhetoric. They've been mentioning the dynamic COVID deero out less, especially during press conferences and even on some official readouts, and of course we've seen some some official media, state media put out these stories on how people have gone COVID and then recovered from it. So we're definitely seeing some sort of laying the path for a potential walk away from from this policy. And what has prompted that? Is it
the slowdown in the Chinese economy or is it the protests? Yeah, that's a good question. It seems certainly to be, you know, everything all at once. But certainly we solved these sort of unprecedented protests this weekend. We've been out both nights on Monday and Tuesday and basically just solved very heavy police presents, but no protests. And and so we're waiting to see what will happen this weekend. But certainly that's
been a huge catalyst. Um. I think you know, these protests have really come out spontaneously, and you know, many analysts are saying that they showed kind of a pensive anger that the party has potentially underestimated. Yeah, there raises another question though, are the protests you say it seems to have settled down a bit. Is that a response to a softer, potentially softer COVID policy or because of
the show of forced by the government. Yeah. We also wonder if it's just because it's so cold right now. That's also a possibility. It's Yeah, it's been mineus eight minus tend both nights recently, um, and when we've gone out you can barely take your hands kind of out
out of your pockets and type on the phone. So, but certainly the police presidents from what we've been hearing from protesters at the top of the list, Um, yesterday we saw sort of you know, fifty police cars, fyve buses station somewhere close to where people were discussing, and then a telegram group without a potential meeting place. So it's just been a extremely strong reaction from the governments,
and uh, you know, protesters are quite quite anxious. Uh you know, what will happen if you know it's so called into the police station or what what? Yeah, what may happen next? Does a potentially softer COVID policy by the Chinese government mean a softer stance against protesters in the future in STA, Yeah, it definitely the crux of a lot of what the protesters are demanding from their
chance is centered around COVID policies. Um. And so certainly seeing this easy and as some investors are saying, seeing this almost sort of at least there's an open dialogue, although um, you know that may be optimistic, but um, you seeing some of this easing is definitely going to soften, um,
the impetus for the protests. Um. But of course we now also have sort of breaking news and with previous leader Jnathaning passing away, are wondering if perhaps, uh you know, any morning for him could be another reason that people may gather and um. So it's yeah, we're really watching to see what's going to happen because there's a lot of um, there's a lot of uncertainties right now. Yeah, as far as the current premier Sujing Ping. Has he lost faith or has he been weakened in any way
by as a result of all this? Yeah, So I mean this going into his third term where he really just you know, had this incredible show of power and all of the people on the you know, the s Politar Standing Committee, the most powerful group of people were seen as his allies. Um, and then suddenly his signature policy really being you know tested in the streets and you know, in some very uh in some specific cases, people were calling for him to step down. So it's
certainly a huge challenge for his third term. And um, yeah, and where we've already seen some strong reactions and authorities. So we'll see if this escalates or if people will be satisfied with sort of some easing back on COVID policies. And what's the you mentioned the death of man? What is his legacy? And I only thought about thirty seconds for you. Yes, so he uh, he of course is represented this era of a more open China. You know, he's this guy who he's danced with, you know, Laura Bush.
He uh, you know slam the Hawaii and you know, played played all sorts of instruments. So, uh, there's a lot on social media now sort of just you know, remembering this era and comparing that to China today, which has gone down quite a different path, and so he has seen a lot of people being quite nostalgic. Yeah, Bloomberg China Government reporter Lucia Loup reporting from Beijing this morning, the latest on China. You're listening to Bloomberg Daybreak and

The following is an editorial from Bloomberg Opinion.
This editorial was written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board. This past weekend, protesters across China took to the streets to demand an end to the government's straconian COVID zero policies. Remarkably, some called for President shi jing Ping himself to step down, Although heavy policing has discouraged further demonstrations. The fact that factory workers, students and urban professionals united around a single demand should worry authorities. Chinese leader's top priority right now
should be reopening safely. That means officials must present a more realistic picture of the coronavirus's risks, and she will need to set the tone if the shift is to be convincing. At last month's Communist Party Congress, she was hailed as the country's new helmsman, an honorific previously reserved for mouse dung. He should now show that he knows how to change course.

Congress is moving swiftly to prevent a looming US rail workers strike that would be a devastating blow to the nation's economy of transportation of food, fuel, and other critical goods are disrupted.

John Michael, thank you. It is five forty eight on Wall Street and we are live for the Bloomberg e inter ant to brokers, studios, well investors of course, waiting for the speech by the Fenderal Reserve chairs, your own Powell, for any signals about the half of interest rate increases.
Let's get you set up for the trading day head right now, and I'm happy to say we're joined by Ben Laidler, the global market strategist at Eat tour O. Thanks for being here, Ben, Hey, would you be very surprised if it's a devilsh speech by Pal today, Yes,
the world, I'm fully expecting the opposite. I think he's going to try and deliver a reality check to markets that rate heights are you know, there's still a lot more to come and the rates aren't coming down anytime soon, but I think markets are expecting that, and it's a real question as where the markets are sort of listening right, I mean, over the last I guess since October, markets have really been fighting the Fed. Here. We've got higher
stock markets, lower bond yields a week or dollar. The FED doesn't like that, but it's a question of what they can really do to stop it at this point. Why is there such a disconnect between the Fed speak that we've heard and what the market is anticipating. I think the market is just looking ahead here. We're all looking at the same data. The FED clearly won't like sort of markets prematurely in their thinking. I'm doing a lot of the work they've done by tightening finance, your
conditions to cool inflation. But remember what all data depending at this point investors and the FED and markets have Ever since the October inflation numbers sort of started coming down. Markets have been looking at this date, and not only in the US but globally. I mean, just today we had a peak in European inflation. We had downside surprise in Australia overnight. This is not just in the US.
This is very much I think a global narrative that inflation has peaked and central banks are beginning to ease off on on the right high pickccelerator. Does j Pow today have to put the risk assets in his target? I think he's certainly going to try, and this is his last chance, remember, because the FED goes into a blackout period on Saturday right the way through to the December fourteen meetings. He's going to try. But remember also
the caveat here. We have a quite a lot of data coming out between now and then which will really help decide what happens on December fourteen. We've got the JAW number today, We've got non fun payrolls on on Friday, and we have funny enough to the inflation number, you know, the day before the FED has to announce the next decision. So um as to say, we're all data dependent at this point, and you know a lot could change to me now and then given all that, what do you
tell clients to do? I think the lower markets is in I think this is going to be a gradual, sort of U shaped recovery. Um I think you know those sort of sticky bits of inflation that the FED is most worried about housing on wages are going to take some time to sort of ease here. So I think there's this sort of two steps forward once they're back. But again, I do think we've seen the low we're getting, We've seen the higher inflation we're getting, visibility on the
top of the Fed interest rate cycle. I think these are all positives. But again, you know, it's it's it's fairly early in the game. Be invested, but be reasonably defensive given that in particular sectors, would technology be a place to be, given the fact that you think that the rate cycle may have turned. So I think some of these sort of classic defensive sort of high dividend yields, UM, you know, consumer study palls, healthcare are the things that
have really worked this year. I think those remain pretty good places, uh, you know, to be I mean there's still a lot of risks out there. Again, we're still very early I think in this um move towards you know, the peak of the FED cycle and lower inflation. But you know, the further this goes on, the more inflation comes down and begins to de risk um some of these issues. I think the more you look to you know, technology, small cap some of these more sort of interest rate

in those who had recently crossed the border. Texas and Louisiana contend that the Biden administration's approach violates federal immigration law, but the Department of Homeland Security says it does not have the resources to detain and deport all eleven million undocumented people estimated to be in the country. This is the twenty nine federal lawsuit brought by Texas to challenge
Biden administration policies. For more, Bloomberg's June Grosso speaks to immigration law expert le On Fresco of Partner at Holland and Night. Another issue, perhaps the issue, is that the law says that some immigrants quote shall be taken into custody or removed. Correct. There's a law called iron a fiction to that says that there's a specific type of foreign national if you commit certain types of crime, you have to be detained mandatorily and removed from the country.
And Baby Coney Baron and Neil Morrison tours saying to the Department of Justice. Well, look, maybe you have this broad power for undocumented person that overstayed their visa or that crossed the border unlawfully ten years ago, but that's different than when you literally know of somebody who's one of the foreign nationals who has a criminal conviction. What gives you the authority to have a memo that the prioritizes within that category when Congress clearly said prioritize people
in that category. And so there I can see a compromise decision, which strikes maybe that's part of the memo, but says that the administration has broad dis present with regards to people for the border crossers and visa overspace to figure out what groups of those people to prioritize. Because it seemed that particularly Chief Justice Roberts was saying that,
you know, we should follow the law. We don't decide how the law is going to be implemented, but then brought up the fact that Congress has never provided the funds to arrest and deport the estimated eleven million undocumented immigrants. I think there was a very interesting philosophical debate that Justice Roberts was saying, which is, look, at the end of the day, there isn't probably funding to enforce any law. But the point is that's a different question than whether
the government can exempt people. So you know, you say we're gonna exempt this group of offenders from past prosecution or this group of labor law offenders from labor law prosectents. Sure you don't have enough on each to prosecute every labor law by later, but that's a different thing than writing a memo for people. And so what Justice Roberts says is, look and we just say there's a world where you can't write a memo, but you just do your best within the limited constraints that you have. And
I think that is an important discussion. But then it gets balanced with the question of Okay, let's say that's true. What now what does the agency do? Now? Do you actually let it sort of run as this rudderless agency without any priority? And I think that's where the thing falls apart. That's Leon Fresco, partner in Holland and Knight,
