Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.
And I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today.
The turmoil that has engulfed the banking sector, and now the pain is hitting bigger banks. US regulators plan to make the biggest lenders foot most of the bill for replenishing the government's Deposit Insurance Fund. We get the story from Bloomberg Stug Prisner.
We're told lenders with less than ten billion dollars in assets wouldn't have to pay. FDIC data show more than four thousand institutions were below that threshold at the end of last year, and depending on the size of their deposit portfolio, some banks with as much as fifty billion dollars in assets could also avoid payments. Much of the tab for refilling the fund will be paid by the biggest banks. We are told the FDIC is planning to
release its proposal as soon as next week. The Deposit Insurance Fund was partly depleted by the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in New York. I'm Doug Krisner, Bloomberg Daybreak.
All right, Doug, thanks, So that move comes as regionals continue to take a pounding on Wall. Straight Pack West plunge another fifty one percent yesterday. It has now lost almost three quarters of its value in just over a week, Western Alliance tumbled thirty eight percent, and we get more from Bloomberg's Valery title.
The lenders who are struggling now Pack West Western Alliance, they don't have an uninsured deposit problem like SVB. SVB had some ninety percent of uninsured deposits. It's the flip side when it comes to pack West and Western Alliance. Nearly seventy five percent of their deposits are insured, so it's not necessarily about this uninsured deposit risk anymore. It could be about just a broader profitability viability of these regional banks that's coming into question.
And Bloomberg's Valerie title says both those stocks are now recouping some of their losses. Checking shares of pack West this morning, they're up almost fourteen percent, but Western Alliance is up more than ten percent well.
Meantime, Karen, a top banking boss, is going to be coming to China. According to Reuter's JP Morgan, Chain CEO Jamie Diamond is going to visit the mainland later this month. Diamond will attend conferences in Shanghai and hold internal and external meetings. Writer says it'll be Diamond's first visit to China in four years well.
Turning into corporate news now Nathan shares of Apple are up to percent. The world's most valuable company had results that beat estimates. iPhone sales actually fell two and a half percent, but Apple had warned investors to expect a drop of roughly twice as much. CEO Tim Cook says China is a key market for the company.
We were pleased with how with how we did and with the acceleration that we saw with the reopening, so we feel good about it. It also China has a lot of very good metrics.
Apple CEO Tim Cook announced plans for ninety billion dollars in stock repurchases, the same level as last year. The company also raised it's quarterly dividend four percent.
Meantime, Karen, we're learning this morning that a commodities trader at mcquarie is taking home more money than Jamie Diamond and other CEOs. Nick O'Cain, whose commodities trading business underpinned Macquarie Group's record annual profit, is getting a fifty nine percent raise to more than thirty eight million dollars. That's more than his own CEO and Diamond, who earned more than thirty four million. City Group CEO Jane Fraser made
twenty four and a half million dollars last year. That's fourteen million less than Nick Ocain.
Well, It's a busy week on the economic front, and it culminates today Nathan with the jobs report for April. Economists say pay roll growth probably slowed as signs grow that America's economy may slip into recession. We get more from Bloomberg's Michael McKee.
A FED looking for a labor market loosening may be disappointed once again. The consensus of economists surveyed by Bloomberg is about double the level needed to absorb new entrants into the labor force. Unemployment is only forecasts to tick up a tenth higher, remaining near a historic low. The rate of increase in average hourly earnings is forecast to flatten, but remain higher than the level consistent with two percent inflation. Policymakers are trying to slow demand in the economy by
slowing the labor market. The best FED officials can hope for is they see some progress this month toward their goal. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Daybreak.
All right, Mike, thanks recession warnings tied to the debt ceiling are getting louder. In Washington. Senate Democrats are warning that House Republicans could wreck the economy, either with sharp spending cuts or a government default. This all comes ahead of next week's key meeting between President Biden and congressional leaders. Republican Congressman Brian's Style says his side is ready to talk.
Republicans are at the table. We're the only group that has a bill that's passed that raises the debt ceiling. The Democrats and the Senate have not passed any form of a debt ceiling increase. And the reason I think is because they don't have the votes to pass the clean debt ceiling that they all claim they want.
A Republican Brian's Style of Wisconsin spoke with Kaylee Lines on Bloomberg Sound on. Catch the show weekdays at one pm Eastern on Bloomberg Radio, or listen on demand wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, let's take a look now at some stocks on the move this morning. Nathan shares of Lift are down more than sixteen percent. The number two ride heiling company is forecasting revenue that's lower than estimates that Lift also reported fewer active riders on the platform that expected on.
The flip side Care, and shares of Carvana are surging more than thirty five percent. The debt ridden auto retailer says it expects to report a profit this quarter following his string of losses.
And shares of Kon Enterprises up almost ten percent in early trading, car Lakhon issued a dividend to investors after coming under attack from short seller Hindenburg Research. The stock has plunged more than forty percent since Hindenberg's report.
It's time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news in New York and around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker. Good morning John, Good morning Nathan.
There are more calls for an arrest in the depth of the homeless man on the New York City subway. Witnesses say thirty year old Jordan Neelios threatening others when a marine veteran put them at a choke hold for fifteen minutes. The veteran was questioned and released, but Neely's day has now been ruled to homicide. Neely family attorney Lennon Edwards.
The situation that was presented, was not one where he was an inflicting physical harm on anyone. To the contrary, he had physical harm inflicted on him.
Meanwhile, Governor Cathy Hoco called the chokehold in extreme response. Neely is sent to have had a documented mental health history. At more than forty arrests, four of five members of the far right extremist group the Proud Boys have been found guilty of numerous felonies for their part in the January sixth capital attack. Federal prosecutors say the leaders of the mob were responsible for assembling a fighting force that
considered themselves Donald Trump's army. The jury convicted four of the five, including former one time leader Enrique Terrio, of seditious conspiracy, plotting to overthrow the government in several other charges. Carmen Hernandez, the defense attorney for Zachary Riels, as she and her client planned to request a retrial and a separate venue.
So we're very disappointed.
I believe he's the jury has spoken.
Well, being bolen. Attorney General Merrick Garland says the Justice Department's work isn't finished.
Today's verdict makes clear that the Justice Department will do everything in its power to defend the American people and American democracy. A. G.
Garland says the department has secured more than six hundred convictions for a wide range of criminal conduct. On January sixth, it's a victory for a British singer, Ed Sheeran. A jury in New York included Shearon didn't steal key components of Martin Gay's classic nineteen seventies two Let's Get It On when he created his hit song thinking Out Loud and service alerts from New York City subway commuter trains
and bosses back on Twitter. A week after MTA officials baulked at paying to provide the information in at about face, Twitter said it's restored free access to a programming interface for verified government and publicly owned services so they can send the alerts.

Thank you, John. Time now for our Bloomberg Sports update. For that, we bring in John stash Hour.
All right, Nathan, this series between the Lakers and Warriors builders Lebron James against Steph Curry, but they're not the only stars on the floor. Anthony Davis scored thirty points in LA's Game one victory. Clay Thompson scored thirty for the Warriors in Game two. He made eight of eleven three pointers. The Warriors won easily, won twenty seven to one hundred two game threes tonight. The Knicks have their Game three in Miami tomorrow afternoon. The Heat said to
be optimistic that Jimmy Butler will play. Sat out Game two with an ankle injury. Milwaukee won the NBA Championship just two years ago, had the league's best regular season, but that first round loss to Miami has cost Mike Budenholzer his job, fired after five years as coach of the Buffs. The Devils played Game two at Carolina tonight. Wins last night for Dallas and Florida. The eighth seeded
Panthers are up two games to none on Toronto. The Detroit Tigers were just ten and thirteen when they welcomed in the Mets, who they then swept. Mets had only three hits at a two to nothing lost. Justin Verlander took the loss at his Mets debut. Until yesterday, Verlander had been an observer of his new team.
I feel like it hasn't quite matched up yet. Like we've done everything well at certain points in time, but we haven't really gone on that run where we start pitching really well night in and night out and start hitting really.
Well tonight in a night out.
It's you know.
And that's what happens to mean. Baseball's hundred sixt two games. It's it's still early.
It's a five hundred. They're home tonight for Colorado Yankees at Tampa Bay, with the raised just one again to raise their record to twenty six and six, tied for the fourth best thirty two games start in baseball history. The Giants have a new four year deal with their Pro Bowl defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence John Stashiewack.

Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager, and we are wrapping up a rocky earnings quarter for Big tech with some solid results from Apple. The Iphonemaker came out with revenue that beat Wall Street estimates. Even though sales fell two and a half percent. That wasn't nearly as bad as Tim Cook and company were warning investors to expect. So let's get some post earnings analysis now from someone who has
covered Apple for a long time. Gene Monster is back with us this morning, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management. Gene It's always great to speak with you about big tech, particularly after we get the kind of results that are giving investors a little bit of assurance this morning. What are your thoughts after we got these results from Apple? Is it a matter of setting expectations right?
Well, that's part of it, I think from the highest level. You said it.
Well, they beat revenue by two percent, they beat EPs by seven percent. I would put that as a classic Apple type of quarter. The piece that was not classic is they guided revenue for June down.
That's something that they typically don't do.
Let me just quick frame in that they're expecting revenue to be down two percent for the June quarter versus the street that was up two percent. So that's a four x swing there. They did say, FX had a four x percent impact. Some people back that out, some people don't. But when you put it all together here, there's something bigger going on when it comes to Apple. And last quarter they missed the quarter. That's something rare. It's happened three times in the past decade. This quarter
they guided down. So you've had essentially two quarters in a row where there's been something that, under normal circumstances would have a negative impact, the stock would be down five percent something like that. We're not seeing that this morning. We're seeing it up a couple percent. So, Nathan, what I've been asking is what is going on here in
terms of what are we learning from? And I think that the key takeaway here is that the active base is growing, which means that their device flywheel, their ecosystem, their franchise, call it what you may, that is working. And let me just quick framing that because I think this is an important factor that is going to become even more important for Apple investors in the years to come.
And so they didn't break out the exact number.
They just said that their two billion active devices were up year over year. Their products revenues, this is the revenue from their harder. It was down five percent in March. So they grew their overall active devices while products are down. And the way they did that is that essentially used iPhones to get refurbished and resold to people who previously never owned one.
So that is a sign of a healthy base.
It's hard to grow a number at two billion, just to ask Meta, it's a very different that's their DAU number, their daily active user number. So to put it in a nutshell, Nathan, is that these results were okay. The guidance was muted, but their device, the dependency that customers are having is increasing, and that is welcome to by investors. And that is a big shift that's going on in terms of how investors are viewing the Apple investment case.
This is becoming a consumer staple company. Shockingly, consumer staples get huge multiples. They averaged twenty six times Apple's training at twenty four times and growing a lot faster. So big picture is the devices. Was the takeaway from the quarter.
Yeah, that was a really interesting point in the note you put out yesterday about Apple's earnings. The transition to a consumer staples company. I mean, we've talked in the past about the brand loyalty that Apple customers have for this company, Is it any more unusual than some other brands might have when it comes to the loyalty of their customer base.
Well, there are numbers from intern of like customer retentions remarkable when you look at an iPhone ninety percent plus customer retention. These are expensive devices, and so I don't have comparables about what other that's probably on par with Coca Cola's retention. Coca Cola trades at a hire multiple than Apple. Coca Cola girls at three percent, Apple girls at seven percent. So I think that the answer is that this has Apple has incredible retention rates.
We all know that.
I think the piece that is changing here is that we're seeing markets that have never stretched to own these devices having similar retention rates. For example, Southeast Asia it was a bright spot.
In the quarter.
They talked about India, Vietnam, South Korea, all these areas that historically they haven't had that brand loyalty, They're starting to emerge and those are large markets.
So when it comes to holding on to that brand loyalty, g is that going to mean that Apple is going to put or need to put even more of a focus on getting newer, better customer devices out there, or can it hang its hat on the services side of what it's been putting out there, Apple TV plus, Apple Watch, Apple Music, that sort of thing.
Yeah, now you know there's savings account, this high yield savings account, you know these other productsity going onto. The answer is that they need to stay ahead of the curb. Obviously, they got to keep innovating from a peer like feature performance based is the hardware, how it specs out relative to like a Samsung device. They don't need to be the best, and that's been the case for many years, five plus years. Is they don't have to be cutting edge type of sizzling speed.
