And last second. Up by at russell 2000 better than 2 and it has and it is ent years getting its own. 2 on the ent to 10year which is not a big move, be going crazy saying we should sell equities. To market is really trying figure out where the he can equilibrium s any given day. We will be fighting that until liquidity into the system. There is a t it in, six to ninemonth lag so that is is a next year when there pretty powerful equity blowoff be use people will just moving in aggressively at that point. Back but we will come pwabg first lets dive deeper into the action of the close. Im looking at what you were talking about small cap anding a ut rally up three days in row up more than 5 and back to january. It is pretty sunny. An last time the russell had see ime high last year we the down trend and russell 2,000 to get out of its own way. We looked at there last week or as it was week starting to go above the 200 day average. Look at this. Popping above down trend but did that earlier this summer. It will be interesting to see the buying ot i. How long it s. Eufplt interesting tobe see. Lyft and uber at which are higher even though saymbly bill 5 passed which sayfornia Companies California companies have it treat people as employers rather than contract it is in the normal course of business except he shares are higher on news that the california governor may e still in negotiation with lyft or uber to talk about some exemptions from the law. Not exemptions i wanted to look who would be hit harder. Uber lyft i should say has been increasing presence not in San Francisco with 20 concentration but overall within the u. S. You can see lyft has expanded two t share to 40 in just years from 22 . That due to the deliberate expansion overseas. Like a harder hit but news is still developing. The European Central bank is iteduled it meet tomorrow so is a good time to see what the market is expecting. Quantitative easing about 30 billion euros a month but it expecting another cut in the deposit rate and the consensus 10 basis point cut panly because that is what the inly because into what e. C. B. D once it got into negative territory. For that to negative 50 but you can get a sense through traders are expecting by looking at Interest Rate swaps euro overnight index average and they are looking for a 15 basis point cut. If the consensus is right and are wrong t signals and we get a 10 basis point cut istory would suggest we would see a euro rally after that. Great stuff. You. Stay with us. Andave the e. C. B. Coming up fed. What are you looking for ought of the Central Banks . The thing about the feds a few weeks ago they have to go really hard and with e. C. B. Is what technical thing can they do beyond what they have already done. For the he role here central bank . I think they are both in different situations. E. They are clearly going to try to overstimulate the market. I think the problem is it is on a string. When credit is so cheap and no take credit theres fundamental problem with the structure of their economy. E. C. B. Has to work through that. Challenge ignificant that is multigenerational. That wont change overnight with stimulus. N the u. S. The governors talking about how they will continue to be there so that the it will can continue be 25 basis points, they will talk about how they will make it work and be there in case it is needed. Group doesnt feel it is needed. Have interesting tweets about why it doesnt work. Fundamental problem. If you are Running Company and 2. 5 if you cant. 5 there is oeu something wrong with your company. It is the structure and tariffs. Ty from the we are just 25 points away on alltime 00 from the high and how close to those levels. Priced in with the Federal Reserve . According to our model we 25 basis cutshree not all at once. He band marked seems to still be toying with four so there is a discrepancy between the equity market and bond market according to our model. Expecting estors are fed to have their back. I think we are starting to look forward to the end of the balance sleet compression we have been sheet compression. That is part of the equity well. Discussion as what weve praised in i can say we quity market suggests will have lower rates for a beaverperiod of time and weve seen that rotation that we have started to eliminate the and a half but the utilities, real estate, consumer outperforming to the degree they have beaver would s low Interest Rates. If the fed sk disappoints that we see the market rotation viciously. What about we have seen with we have ar and fact seen so much this time of year. Your view on buying,some questions making hay . I think it is intelligent if you are a c. E. O. Or c. F. O. You at cheap levels because the premium is incredib tight. Bly it is natural for companies to bottom. N at the last cycle they did in 2016 from perspective. We are only talking about 25 basis points were we had the and ar to go to 150 everybody was like my god and then 175. It is still relatively small but they feel big. You mentioned the tariffs and back to something hat david woo said be straightforward. If you are going it cut a deal dont overthink it. They will resolve it. O you think it could be that simple and theres a risk of overthinking it . There will be a deal but i dont think it will have much teeth. Everybody will say what a great deal and i think that people skeptically. It will ease some tension. Equities s a bias to because of low Interest Rates. Any sort of good news is too good and people are running from the market. Overshoot. Absolutely. Thank you both. We have breaking news. Oracle which was supposed to announce results announced them analysts timates when were liking 9. 29 billion. At the same time its operating was 42 versus 41 . E. P.

General e looking at motors aging closer to a strike. In the short of how u. S. Socks closed but the closing above 3,000 p heads back toward alltime highs. Will we continue to drive higher . Timing the fed President Trump to s for rates to be cut zero or less. The ls lowestrate a policy makers on the same page . By a global economist at citi. Respond to the president. Into an we are heading e. C. B. Phrgt where they are xpected to go deeper negative and bank of japan they are negative o go intoto territory. Does it make sense for the fed in that ove deeper direction . Fed is looking at three things. Environment continues and continuing to erode among businesses and there is a lot of anxiety and then inflation continues to be tepid. Putting those together they a recipe where the fed can feel comfortable lowering them. Just 25 basis points all or is there a case as many say if new that ressivelyvely salves you cuts on saves you end. On the back we agree in terms of whf it pointsok like 25 behaves but we think that will be enough but there is a scenario where fed goes more. Hey have another 75 priced in about 25 the rest of it year and another 50 next year. That would be the case if we continue to see a ramping up in between the actionaction u. S. And china that for the g. D. P. Growth. It is interesting if we talk bout the fed goes harder faster. What do you think the e. C. B. Has making terms of anything work . More bond buying . Does it get were bang for the buck . A lot of a view that the official acome tkaegs accommodation wont go to adding consumption but prices. Late asset nonetheless markets are looking for action and businesses are action. For if that is all that is going appen i dont understand i guess i understand why they danont it but i understand why we are in the seeing more coordination on the policy side fiscal when it is clear that the Central Banks really dont have with. To worka lot to wo i getrk the sense back to the question to the only with e. C. B. They are almost admit they dont have enough a unition to deal with recession or pull an economy out so the idea of deploying now to avert that is the idea . I think the fed has tools to million the recession. Unusual is if the next recession is triggered by trade since the e not thate have nott 1920s so the fed has no xperience with this and what tools can they pull. That is why i think it has been fed officials saying we are going to do what we can butan you need fiscal policy and lightening up with trade policy. Some concerns that maybe the i. B. Will disappoint but ift f look at recent price action in europe it is great. Last five 8 the the days, d. A. X. 3 . Keep disappointing . Ey the market seems to like it more than anything else they have beenlse they have doing. Ittbeen still is our anticip the e. C. B. Will apply additional stimulus tomorrow. As you mentioned they will rate ly lower the depositosit another 10. We will have q e2 around 36es 0 euros.

They have been slow compared but application business has done all right. Todays results were generally lane. At first the first glance i havent seen major surprises. Dont expect much disruption. We should point out they did close First Quarter earnings numbers a day early and did beat slightly the top line including on cloud business. Hen you talk about the challenges they are going to save fra will deal with herself that mark is out. Is she going to have to do . Is it just everything they have so far . Ng i think they will have to figure out how to accelerate the base Customer Base shift to the cloud. The stock is less in terms of discount from a most of the Large Software names and number one factor is they large data base business and that is mostly on needs to be moved to the crowd to gain additional services. Om other that is an area they need more resources feel migration happening just slowly or are they afraid when ing some customers they dece to go to the cloud to go to other vendors . That is the biggest risk. Office base is unlike 365 it is deep entrenched roduct and not easy to move them to the crowd. Happens oracle hops they will move it to their cloud product. To the company.

To n leaders are flying detroit to debate the lates attempt of a contract and they have to decide whether to submit vote or go on strike. Lets welcome a professor of at the lations university of california at berkeley. Information at Information Technology with labor and tkpwhr globalization. Why is the risk of a strike so high . What are the conditions that may be setting it up . A critical set of negotiations. It is defining for the company. To compete in an industry that is going through a electrics ion with and autonomous vehicles. Union they want to see that but they want to ensure members job security and they share in those gainsment so their are higher wages and road changes in various classifications of workers. There are many temporary workers those hired since 2007 that earn far less. Apart we far negotiations started. It is in the end game and how u. S. Manufacturing competes economy. Obal i come from the u. K. Where quite common and British Airways are busy at it. How monumental is it to see it it he United States and see spre spread . This is something that has rare in the singly United States. We he last several years have had an uptick in strikes was say eyond what it the 1970s and 1980s. N the Auto Industry the last major strike at General Motors as in 1998 and that turned out to be very disruptive. So, these things are rare but pivotal. Ues are you have a lot of works who gave when g. M. Wentns bankrupt and the industry decade or ollapsed a so ago. They have regained some but they want to regain more and they ant to have a sense they are stakeholders rather than the tims of a more competitive g. M. I understand wanting more of what they have gotten the last couple of years but at aboutme time theres talk job security, talk about keeping a lot c plants open when of the sort of benefits i guess tphrblt gotten has been one in down plants like lords town and walk away.

At the same time it has become late rgest, porter of vehicles, pickup trucks, s. U. V. S, from mexico to the and canada. S i think that it is that which has week, deeply disturbed. It isnt a question of a transforming industry. It is a question of ought at the workers earning 2 it 3 in less than the United States. If you look historically between kicks is what the connection is between incidence of strike and tight market. The last brief strike 2007 it the bottom fell 1998 n 19eu89d 9 and now it is 3. 7 . We these things you see week, feel that the job market s not that terrible out there and they. That the Economic Conditions testimohem some leverage and Bargaining Power . It is actually true. Conditions of a tight labor market and economy master i along moving along give workers confidence. Desire on both sides to avoid a strike. For General Motors it would be disruptive.
