10 , but lets be honest the markets are still down big time this year so cold comfort for investors who may have gotten in toward the end of last year well dissect all of that. One big theme today is the Federal Reserve effectively riding to the rescue of the bond market and even the etf bond market look at the hyg, something we have been highlighting and were going on more than a month now up 7 as well as the fed as it says there goes all in and we are all in with a great lineup for you again. We have guy, tim, weve got karen and weve got steve grasso it is going to be a beg hour we have Paul Macaulay with rare mineral supply chains and i want to get to steve grasso because the Federal Reserve, and i know it is very difficult for the audience out there who is not doing this every day to keep track of the alphabet soup of acronyms the Federal Reserve came in today with another 2 trillion program. Did they effectively bail out a big part of the etf market yeah. I think they did so the fed has always sort of said frowned down upon buying risky assets or junk bonds today they said theyll be buying junk bonds and theyll be buying collateralized mortgage obligations and buying cmbss, and theyre buying anything that was in danger of failing so, brian, on the show we were talking about the hyg, you mentioned it we use that as the Risk Barometer and they told everyone that the market and everything is not going to be allowed to fail in 08 and 09 it was too big to fail and now its no one will be allowed to fail. So im not saying were completely out of the woods, but its extremely difficult to sell the market and the next 30 days to the next 60 days because nothing is going to fail Balance Sheets dont matter. Earnings dont matter. The fed will be buying everything if youre in poor shape youll be bailed out. If youre in good shape youll put up acceptable numbers and your stock will rally. It is not really a pollyannaish view. Yeah. Its just really realistic. Nearterm, its impossible to buy anything that will fail. Bankruptcies, no one is thinking about that right now will it happen maybe, but right now its about bailouts and stocks that are performing and its about virus counts, death counts so i dont want to belittle that no, we never would. Guy adami, the numbers are staggering when you look at what the fed has announced already. You multiply that by possible leverage from the treasury, okay we can easily get to 10 trillion with a t, maybe we need it i have no idea, but i do know this, to steves point, we have never seen a fed that this makes the Great Recession and financial crisis look small by comparison. Its amazing, isnt it . Obviously, a lot of people spoke about it today i find it not ironic that on the day after Bernie Sanders gives up his run for precedence they weve gone basically Bernie Sanders. Weve effectively now privatized wins we socialized losses and theres this belief and maybe rightly so that the fed has our back and theyll buy everything i mean, that in and of itself is extraordinarily problematic. I mean, with that said, i hear what steves saying and i think to a certain extent the four of us on the show tonight have said similar things and i think tims probably been the most bullish and steve has been saying the 2790 level is within reach for a while. I know karens been absolutely optimistic and here we are, again, not ironic that we close at the level that a lot of us have flagged for a long time in terms of the market, if you take the fed out of the equation, if the market on a valuation basis is probably exactly where we were at alltime highs if you take at what probably would have been 160 worth of earnings and a lot of people think its less than that and something that scott minerd has said still resonates in my head he has brought up that 1700level in the s p a number of times im not saying were getting there and maybe he looks back and says now with the fed in the game theres no way we get there, but its something that still sort of sticks in the back of my mind look, here we are. I think the market is on better footing, but for probably the wrong reasons. And tim, listen you know it, were all active on social media for some reason and you say all of the negative people on cnbc is wrong and look at the market soaring and they must be fools. The market could keep going up and i have no idea because the fed programs im sure you will agree with this, and if you dont, let me know that we have to be careful here a couple of days where the market bounces in a Terrible Market does not mean the allclear signal has sounded, does it . No, but fundamentals are not playing to the fore here so, look, my view is that the pain trade has been higher and could go higher and today the fed ripped the face off of shorts a price pledge to buy corporate debt into the highyield market and absolutely just completely threw this market upside down. Woe talk about too big to fail and this is where i get a little bit more negative and pessimistic as some of my colleagues here. I think Society Fails when you ultimately get into the dynamic that were painting here i think fiat currencies is an endangered species with this kind of activity having said that, again, healing in markets what do you want to look for how about the aussie dollar thats up 14 in 15 days thats a measure of china and reflation and a measure of commodities. How about treasury volatility which has essentially flat lined over the last three or four days, certainly relative to where it was and how about the japanese yen which is the funding currency which is back to sixmonth levels and again, when the yen was rallying and it looked like we would go to 80 enit was time to run for the hills and were back to where we needed to go im looking at the Retail Market and if you look at the xrt etf measuring the retail sector, its outperformed the s p by 11 over the last four days. The parts of the market and again, there are obviously extensions of the parts of the economy that we needed to see recover more and were the most offsides are the ones that have obviously outperformed here. When i saw, karen, the moves today i instantly thought about you, you know why . Because i know that youve said that youve been short a lot of high yield, but long the banks well, today i thought, maybe karen loves and hates this because high yields surged because the banks bailed it out and the banks rose today j. P. Morgan up 4 . How did you read it . I didnt know what to make. Love it or hate it and not that much change in the p l, but i thought the fed actions were just absolutely extraordinary today. They had to be were in extraordinary times, but to me its reminiscent of 2008 and i want to talk about the one that was so interesting to me. In september, lehman had just failed and things were really coming undone. The sec actually said you are no longer allowed to short financials which was an extraordinary measure, and i think we have a chart that showed where the bkx index was right around september and what happened in the two days following that, the bkx index was up 28 in two days which was extraordinary and the kind of reaction that were getting now, but then, as time went on, and it became clear that those kinds of shortterm policies werent going to be enough if we step back and look at a few months later, the bkx was down75 im not saying thats whats going to happen right now in the ayg and i am saying this is an extraordinary move by the fed. I dont think it nsly means theyre give young the at the money put, and a lot of this money that they talked about today is going to debt that is newly rated debt, newly rated junk, im sorry, that was Investment Grade before march 22nd and now will not be Investment Grade due to whats happened thats where the focus is going to be. So its obvious, those kinds of securities traded really well. Its important to note, this is huge for the Insurance Companies and theyre the largest holders and this is huge for them if there is a buyer of last resort. What you have foul lowed closely is the nav which is the price of the hyg and the others the fed has said even if theyre going to buy etfs, theyre going to be trading eight a premium to they wont say how big of a premium, but at a premium to the av i dont know if that means the fed would no longer buy them right here, im not really sure. The measure is huge, and i sort of think this will not mean that companies cant fail i dont agree with steve that companies cant go bankrupt. I believe they can i dont know that the fed can save everyone. I do applaud them taking extraordinary measures because we are in extraordinary times. It certainly is, and some of these closedin funds that we are talking about the pci of pimco. Dhy of Credit Suisse ive been waiting all day for this opecplus meeting to wrap up and a couple of hours ago, their we did not report that opec will cut 10 Million Barrels a day starting may 1st of this year, but only for two months and then they cut 8Million Barrels a day through the end of the year and 6 million a day through the beginning of 2021 through april of 2022. A lot of these numbers were thrown out there today the market didnt like it. Oil did something its only done three times in 30 years and that was move 20 in a day. It was up twefrl at one point, down 9 for a 21 swing it closed down there and well get more on oil. All right. Lets go back to the markets and really what we just talked about is making financial history, folks. For awful reasons, obviously, with covid19 we are rewriting a lot of history and we rewrote financial History Today with the latest program lets bring in someone who has lived it, studies it and knows more about it than almost anyone out there on the planet, that is Paul Mcculley from pimco, and without getting into the Federal Reserve act section 133 which is the jump ball gives the fed semiunlimited powers. In your view, did the Federal Reserve today if credit controls e quites and junk controls credit, today, in a way did the Federal Reserve bail out the u. S. Stock market . The short answer is yes the longer answer is its not just the fed what the feds doing is very much in concert with what treasury and congress are doing. So i would say the bank of uncle sam, we, the people, our government essentially ensured that our economy is a growing concern even though it shut down and believe me, ill be the first to give a salute and a high five to the fed, but i think its important to recognize that this is a joint venture with treasury and the congress, because congress has got to allocate the lossabsorbing capital for all of these spvs that the fed is creating which then they can lever 101 with helicopter money. So its a beautiful cooperation between the fiscal and monetary authorities and the stock market thinks its really cool, and i do, too. Okay. Spv, special Purpose Vehicle and one of these other threeletter acronyms we havent heard in 13 years and now theyre coming back, paul let me ask it more directly. Do you believe that the taxpayer we forget the t. A. R. P. , do you believe that these programs will all or some ultimately pay for themselves. I think that will know the advertise in, the one i focus on the most is the pp facility. They said they would take those loans originated by banks at face value as collateral into the special Purpose Vehicle and we know categorically Congress Plans to forgive those loans so essentially thats one where the fed will get losses, but they actually wont be the fed losses they will be absorbed by the treasury so this is very different than the financial crisis where actually the fed did make money, but this one is designed to quote, unquote, lose money on the tpp facility and that money has come from congress and if they need more, i would bet my last Dollar Congress will appropriate more the tpp is the essence of getting the economy Going Forward at a agreeing ask the bankruptcies, i would. For our viewers, its designed more for the small and mediumsozed that you have come to my lot a lot, and i dont know if i have been needed or not and ive been critical of etfs in terms of Market Structure and does it have lick id w liquidity, and did we get bailouts of etf and etf providers in your mind theres no question this thing has moral hazard all over it because it is a very macro program, and there are beneficiaries that when we sit down and say should there be beneficiaries and the answer would be no. I think that will be an outcome, but the bottom line is they had to go macro and they did and you like it Paul Mcculley, we appreciate having you on the program. Hope you have a great long weekend. Paul, well talk to you soon thank you very much for your insight. Very valuable at a time like now. Take care, my friend tim, i want to go back to you. This is something that weve talked about for a long time and concerns about liquidities here. In your view did parts of the etf market and maybe etf providers get a bailout today . Well, by the way, love the professor who was mine back in the day. I think if you look at whats going on with the Asset Classes especially with assetbacks and mortgage backs and we heard about the large Mutual Fund Companies and i dont need to name them, but they are household names that had liquidity issues in a couple of the funds. I dont think the fed is focused on that. Again, i think the fed is more focused on credit and the underlying credit and the underlying things that make up those etfs and therefore, i think the run on liquidity for a Fund Provider is very different than the run of liquidity for the names in my view even though ultimately the funds are the ones that are puking they have to meet redemptions and they have to puke out securities where there is no bid. To me, the most important thing and the most dominant thing that happened today was the fed stepping down into junk and saying they would be buying downgraded corporates and be willing to take them out and that relieves so much stress on the system weve seen a fair amount of thaw in the highgrade market and taking this out of the highyield market and the specter is what the fed is focused on the fed with their words said forcefully and creatively and whatever other adverbs we used and those were the things that came to me from the feds Statement Today around what they did. Yeah. And what they did is they front run some of these credit agencies and to tims point is when we see this spate of downgrades over the next couple of weeks and month, the fed says we have your back, junk bond market great points there as usual. We have more new on cnbcs fast money and the holidayshortened trading week and remember the markets are closed tomorrow. Cnbc as always, open for business tonight at 7 00, the markets in turmoil special.

Because opec plus meaning opec plus russia and other members held a Virtual Meeting today you saw a shot like zoom with 40 different countries, opposition by mexico toward the end, reports are that there is a deal being reached and 10 Million Barrels a day for a couple of months and 6 Million Barrels a day being cut for effectively 2021 through half of 2022. The market did not like the numbers at first look at wti crude and oil did something today its only done three times in 30 years, moved 20 in a session intraday. We were up 12 at one point and down 9 . Look at that weve done it twice in a month, steve grasso the only other time we saw this kind of intraday volatility with oil was all of the way back basically when we all had a mullet, january 9, 1991, but the oil stocks they still rose today and was that because the fed or was it because Something Else fundamentally . I think it was both so the fed, a lot of these companies have weaker Balance Sheets and that was the arm of it that was going to be the bailout for them, but obviously, everything is reliant on opec and the cuts, but that headline number and the 10 million barrel, its not really going to be as high as that and the dedicated players in the space feel as if opec was serious they would have cut now and not waited until may 1 of the and thats number one. Number two, the saudis are at an elevated level at current levels right now on output. So their cut is not going to be as big on a percentage basis as it really was if you go back a few months ago where their output was realistically so i do think its a sell the news event the bigger question is for crude when does demand come back on. If we dont get back to work and start up the economy again, the demand side never comes back thats the true variable that everyone is missing right now. Yeah. Its a great point. Listen, karen, the Pipeline Company some of them are issuing force majors and were not taking oil and we dont have room and the refiners are shutting down and cutting dramatically back and nobody is driving and everybody is looking for a home for their oil these stocks are decimated and youre a value investor. Are you buying or would you look at any of the oil complex at all right now . No. Not yet. And energy is at the forefront of where those would be. I think to steves point, its demand, if not more than supply so youre half sort of pushing on a string and you have some supply cuts and lets assume they all happen and lets assume thats a given and you have demand back and i havent been near the space okay. Well said. Guy, i want to go to you quickly. On the services side, the ones who get the work done as far as drilling and moving things around, theres not many big producers. They have consolidated or gone away and theres only a couple theres baker hughes, halliburton and schlumberger of the megacaps and i know youve been positive on schlumberger before this happened and is this still a name that you would look at now i think tim could speak more intelligently rid now about slb. I think its a name that hes been dabbling in and ill go quickly and im not trying to pull an audible on you and one thing were talking about is the moves in the big capintegrated names and it went from 30 to 45 over the same course of time and chevron went from 50 to 85 maybe to steves point, this is the point where you start paring down gains and if you have them in some of these bigcap integrated names, and i still find it just fascinating that six months ago, we wanted Lower Oil Prices now we want higher oil prices. To have those conversations in public, to me thats a very dangerous game were playing that has to have consequences at some point it certainly might. If ive got you guys confused on the schlumberger how could i not . Thats all good you know, its easy to mix you guys up sometimes. Youre both so handsome. Tim, what about slb, schlumberger long term largest ofs firm out there where the Balance Sheet is fine. The question is on eps and the question that there is Free Cash Flow there and they actually report next friday and ill be watching that and the stock traded below 13 and thats again, one of those cases where the most money is made when things go from terrible to just bad and this is an earnings concern and this is essentially top line thats down 10 to 15 and this is a company that will be here tomorrow and i think one of the best companies out there in that space. You should own it here is my view if you own it for the long term well said, guys appreciate that. We have more on cnbcs fast money, how about these number up 73 , up 60 , this week, those are the returns for three wellknown Retail Stocks well lay out these incredible moves and whether the whole thing is just a headfake plus rare earth.

Welcome back to cnbcs fast money. The markets ended higher today and they ended higher for the week and the market is up 12 and that pales in comparison with the retail names that have been beaten up the numbers i gave you before the break, 73 , look at that, kohls, 73 gain in four trading days macys up 36 . Tim seymour, i know this makes some investors in these stocks who have been suffering and struggling happy i get that thats good, but is this any way to make sense of these moves at all . Well, when were talking about macys, at some level it was with some of the other Department Stores and macys its a covenance review. You have to make some assessments about samestore sales and the things that were not going to know and what the everimportant Holiday Season looks like for macys as we get into the Fourth Quarter, as we come out of all of this, and were going deeper into this, but the assessment on macys has been a credit story and the Balance Sheet story and samestore sales again will probably be down close to 15 per year j. P. Morgan just downgraded their eps down 31 cents a share. Its throwing darts right now for a company that was beleaguered coming into this and this was priced coming out of business and i think there are very real assets there yeah. Karen, the equity may be having a conversation, but it appears that the bonds are screaming Something Else yes i think thats right and i always think the credit markets are smarter than the equity markets and if you look at macys, i think we have a chart of it. This is coming due in 2023 and not quite three years from now and trading at 70, it hardly bounced at all and nothing remotely to the bounce in the equity and something trading in a highteens yield and this is telling you there are very real concerns about macys as an ongoing business maybe it survive, but in the dash for trash, i just think its too risky sure, you can have a giant runup like weve had in the last week, but i would much rather be in an equity retailers like a target whose bonds traded par or north of par. Its not going to be up 36 in a week, but its not on the watch list for is it going to survive, either so that would be my way to play the retail space all right lets talk now about a similarly beaten up space for similar reason and that is concern about consumer and steve grasso and its a consumer story and they had the horrific headline, as well related to coronavirus on cruise ships and been hit hard and look at these, royal caribbean, carnival, the casinos and wynn and weal gll getto tht in a second. Hardly a vote of confidence although the deal did get done, any reason to take a chance with these cruise line stocks yeah. I think theres a reason to take a chance, but behavior has changed even before coronavirus, brian. These were hit with a wall of worry always theres always capacity issues with them and how many ships, they overbuild ships and then when you have the flu outbreak no one wants to get on a ship. Forget about that, now times that by ten. I think youre looking at maybe possible bailouts for these companies and thats number one. Number two, nomura put out a piece yesterday, i believe, saying they can survive nearzero sales until q1 2021. That takes a lot of the ambiguity and the dark zone off the desk for at least the immediate future so you can dabble here i think out three years is what nomura says and they say go out with the best brand and these are down 70 to 80 year to date and stick with royal and norwegian and i would stick with ccl, carnival. Stick with royal and norwegian. I dont know about anybody that goes on cruises and a lot of people would go on cruises to gamble and maybe they want to stay away from cruises and they still want to gamble maybe there is a longterm bullish game to be made for the Casino Companies we talked about casinos a couple of weeks ago we said if we were being looking for, and i remember saying there were signs of life, there are some green chutes and they might be coming in the form of casinos and it rallied back to 75 and it came back off and now its a 70 stock and i think you trade these things, but the fact that these casinos seem to be getting their footing is encouraging i think you trade them still, i think if wynn were to get back to 75. If youre in the name you take profits and look for the next leg lower, but at least youre seeing glimmers of hope in some of these casino names and i think thats somewhat encouraging, brian, for sure. All right good stuff there looking at the consumer, everybody. All right. Earnings season is nearly upon us, but this earnings season will be spectacularly different than any quarter, maybe the country has ever had, at least going back to the financial crisis there are some of the name, but what do you need to focus on on such a scary, weird time like right now. Maggie zul will join us and plus where is the supply chain. A lot more to do were back after this. All right. Welcome back jim cramer, speaker of the house, nancy pelosi and a wideranging interview and jim spoke to her about the Small Business protection program, the bpp. Heres a clip. We dont want it to trickle down and we want it to be for Small Business and places like that that dont have a relationship and weve said to the bank, we want you to know you borrow to know your bank, but if you dont we still want you to be able to participate in this initiative so thats what thats about and i do think its a small ask and plenty of room for negotiation here a small part of jims wideranging interview with nancy pelosi and catch the whole thing tonight on mad money at 6 00 after the break, big week for tesla and the options side of the market and which way are people betting and dont forget mad money, markets in tuoirml, 7 00 tonight were back after this. That we can do. To everyone working to keep america strong, thank you. [female vo] restaurants are facing a crisis. And theyre counting on your takeout and delivery orders to make it through. Grubhub. Together we can help save the restaurants we love. Welcome back we talk a lot about oil and energy on the program because i cover the space, but we also talk about renewables and we need to go back and revisit an important story that we brought you out at the Mountain Pass mine in california if you want to make electric cars, solar panels and you want to make hydro, wind, whatever it is you need Rare Earth Minerals and the Mountain Pass mine, one of the first operating facilities to try to bring back some of that supply chain from china and we are joined by that, and jim latinsky, thanks for joining us and so much has changed in the world, but how is the supply chain doing right now . Because this is a critical element to the u. S. Economy long term. Thanks, brian its great to hear your voice again and you know, first of all, my heart goes out to everybody affected by this terrible tragedy theres nothing more important than life and death and family and obviously, this could be any of us impacted were all impacted and thats the most important thing right now. When we get to the acute stage and hopefully soon, we have to recognize that the single point of failure in our supply chain which is becoming so evident of the crisis that we have in health care right now extends in industry and my concern and the thing that, as you know, weve been sort of very open and out front about this over the last couple of years is weve been trying to build the rare supply chain in the u. S. Is that as a country, we have the single point of failure and right now we have a life or death issue and that is the most important thing and when the acute stage of this crisis ends, this temporary unemployment has, hopefully everyone is back in their job enough and it will become a permanent situation if we dont recognize that slowly and methodically over time, china is extracting our manufacturing and our advanced industries and so our gdp longer term is at risk and thats tens of millions of jobs in the country. Michael dell said pretty much as much. People kind of dance around it, jim, because its a sensitive topic and they use coded language and we need to rediversify our supply chains because were realizing that medical equipment and pharmaceuticals is coming from china that you cant get out and are you guys up and running and are you still able to help supply some of these makers of the renewables that the economy is counting on long term we are up and running, but we are producing 15 of the rare concentrate globally and even though the chinese tax us with 40 of our revenues. Although we have 200 american heroes on mount pass getting the job done, we are pretty much under attack by having to ship into china we are ultimately working on a plan thats under way where we are retrofitting our existing site and we will produce separated earth. When we are doing that and producing the rare earth, we would have still not solved the problem because ultimately over the last 20 years, the chinese have not taken the rare earth industry, which is what the rare earth goes into. So when you lack ook at tesla, at mp materials our plan is we want to ultimately solve the rare earth problem, but our plan, our mission is to restore the true supply chain to the United States of america which means we need to continue to move downstream. We certainly hope that industry will come and you know, we hope that Corporate America is held to account, too, and i heard you had a tesla thing. They received billions of dollars of subsidy and yet they buy their magnets in china and at what point as a country and i dont think this is too controversial and at what point as a country do we say hey, our taxpayer dollars should not subsidize Companies Like tesla and apple that have brought their supply chains elsewhere . Certainly wall street, and clearly, we have a Stimulus Program that although money has gone to people and theres been a lot of discussion about where that stimulus is going and i think we should have that discussion as a country and we should think about the fact that i think wall street and Silicon Valley has disproportionately benefitted and i think as a country, we would be better off and actually economically better off by not making sort of the short sighted supply chain choice of in the short term making stock prices go up by having supply chain overseas and encountering every five or ten years a major crisis when we realize that, you know, tens of millions of jobs are at stake because weve missed out on the Bigger Picture and longer term strategic situation. So if we can that is well said. Sorry, go ahead i was going to say, jim we have to go there. Listen, its well said and heres the thing its not controversial because thats the beginning of the conversation that well be having as a nation for the next year between trade wars and this, this is going to completely change the way that businesses look at sourcing. We just have to get through this as you called it acute period, certainly well said. Good luck to you and your team and i cant wait to visit you out in Mountain Pass thank you we look forward to hosting you and well keep doing our part. Thank you, brian getting on a plane again. Cant believe it, but i cant wait lets talk about the company that jim talked about and that is tesla youll probably not comment on where batteries are made and you can comment on tesla options well, yeah. We have to concern ourselves with supply chains jim is making some important points there although i would also point out that the subsidies that tesla receives and carbon credits and things like that also have their place and the Options Market was seeing bullish activity in tesla and we see more calls and puts trading and above average call volume the trades that i was looking at that i found most interesting were purchases, opening purchases of the april 600 calls and those were trading for about 12 and those expire a week from tomorrow so buyers of those calls are betting that tesla will be above the 600 strike price and that means theyre betting on an increase of 8 or more over the course of the next week and implied volatility and the price of options in tesla has gone up quite considerably and this is an interesting situation because this is one of the stocks we can point to that is up on the year, still and even though it is well off of its highs from february well off its highs. Mike khouw, thank you very much steve grasso. Maybe on tesla and the options stock and should we end subsidies for Companies Tesla doesnt make all their stuff in china, but you have his macro point. I get his macro point, and i do agree with the macro point and the last sales, 571 and tesla is always about where people are positioning themselves and not about where the reality is so the 100th day is basically at 535. The 50day is 646 and were trading somewhere between there and you would have rm to where mike is looking at that 600 level and Short Interest is pretty high still and tesla is still defying the laws of gravity. Defying the laws of gravity steve grasso, thank you very much all right. Coming up, well talk about earnings season. Believe it or not, its here and its going to be very different than any that we have seen in a long time. Credit suisses manny zu plus what executives brought the most of their own stock and well bring it to you at the end of every trading week and well show you the Companies Whose insiders pulled out their checkbooks and bought equity stick around this piece is talking to me.

Lets bring in a special guest of the chief derivatives strategy and its a pleasure to have you on fast money. I cant wait until everybody is back around the table. Mandy, ill start with you how relevant is, quote, earnings season going to be if super important or not important at all given whats going on . Thanks, brian. I would say it would have been priced into the market and it would be less important than normal to keep in mind with the upcoming Fourth Quarter earnings will cover the lockdown. The information value Going Forward is not going to be a lot, right so thats important to keep in mind and so what are you watching and your team mostly sure. What is really interesting with the Derivatives Market right now is with the lows and the market off 20plus percent, were not seeing any upside chasing in the market in fact, investors have been using this rally and theyre buying down the puts in the major indices like s p and the russell 2000, et cetera, which to me is notable because typically in these market corrections we do see a fair amount of call buying as people come in to pick the bottom and that low is completely absent. To me it signals a very high amount of skepticism that this rally can continue Going Forward. Yeah. I mean, what is the biggest so many risks, mandy i feel silly asking this question what is the biggest risk right now . Were talking about equity markets and what we do on cnbc sure. I think what mepeople are watchn for and the nearterm data, everyone recognizes it will be absolutely horrific and whether youre talking about unemployment, gdp and earnings, et cetera and what will really drive market, if youre looking for the next leg higher, we really need to see constructive data coming from either the underlying virus in terms of peak in the infection rates or signs that we can get the economy back to normal faster than expected. So i think thats what everyone is watching, and not so much the nearterm data because that is completely written off and more signs that the second half and what type of rebound and what kind of recovery are we going to get and is it the vshaped recovery or if we look at a lot of asian economies Going Forward, and a wave of infection and potentially ushaped or wshaped recovery and thats what investors are focusing on at this point. Mandy xu, Credit Suisse i look forward to having you back on set. Thank you very much. Lets go around the horn and talk about the next weeks setup and guy adami is a holiday long week for easter and passover and im wishing all of you and your families the best over whats been an incredibly stressful time guy, what are you watching out for mostly gold, Newmont Mining is up, and we outlined a bullish case for banks a couple of weeks ago. I remember j. P. Morgan trading in 84 and even if book value, and you can still pick up j. P. Morgan and levels that you would have signed up for in spades so to me, banks and gold tim and the end of lent, you can raise a glass virtually together it will be under control. Looking for the easter bunny, but im looking for retail sales on the macro front and china also has import and export number, but obviously earnings and lvs and even schlumberger, all very important karen for me, its what the bank s say and not at all what theyre going to earn and its about what are they seeing and what actually happens to the Balance Sheets if they have forbearance on loans and those get marked down and that gets to guys point to book value. How badly do they think book value will be hidden and any testing news on the expanded testing will be important. Thats huge steve grasso, what are you looking at, buddy . Yeah. So im not interested in earnings yet as the rest of the group is im not interested in Economic Data yet im interested in the human toll and i keep tuning in to the president s press conferences and governor cuomos press conferences and i want to see the death rates flatten out and thats when you know were out of the woods. Thats definitely what matters. Guy, tim, karen, steve, best to you and your whole families for this easter and passover in the next couple of days. Thank you all very much. All right.
