At the highs, more than 40 above the 200 day moving average. Bearish divergence, falling rsi. Now we are still above that 200 day moving average. These you see some of mega cap names come down to earth, it is hard to believe a true bottom is in place. As the prices get set to hammer the oil companies, one corner of the industry is set to see some gains. Those Tanker Companies up about 15 . The Lower Oil Price makes it more profitable to actually hoard the oil and sell later. That is a boon for those Tanker Companies that can get vessels from their fleets. The pastof over 20 in two sessions. The msci World Energy Index is down almost 20 this week. Lets dig into the price action of wti crude oil. It has rebounded after a deep fall yesterday.

This price war between saudi arabia and Russia Threatens budgets. Also, market values of energy companies. Pricing its crude mayas cheaply as aramco, it prevent fanning the flames of the dispute. Reporteracross asset katie groenefeld is here. Sandip, i will come back to you. Are,ou look at where we what is the outlook for recovery. Is we known this is devastating. We know we have playbooks. We have a lot more stimulus coming, and dont forget, we have not tried a lot of fiscal stimulus outside of the u. S. Yields go, you have more room to conduct the fiscal stimulus. One of the byproducts is raising rates. That is not going to happen this time around. Scarlet if we do get fiscal stimulus, is it necessarily inflationary . It might help normalize inflation expectations. Breakeven rates have been cratering. It may help boost those levels back to normal, a less abnormal level. But it remains to be seen if that would be enough to generate inflation. Central banks do not really have a playbook for generating inflation. Maybe fiscal stimulus is what it takes. To take jumping in here a look at the markets. Canadian stocks, their biggest jump since november of 2011. Of course, the benchmark index tumbled yesterday. About centralk banks, they do not necessarily have the best track record in terms of creating inflation or trying to facilitate that. Meeting nextd week. What are you expecting them to say not just in terms of the policy, but what kind of message do you think we will hear from them . Becomingry policy is less effective, but the fed has some bullets to expand. They meet next week. Fullarkets are expecting a 100 basis points to get to zero. You will get Forward Guidance along the lines of we will do whatever it takes. The key to reducing this will of course be the scope of the contagion. There is already talk that opec plus is reentering into conversations. But it will be fiscal stimulus which carries the day. Because rates are so low, we can engage in more deficit spending without the ability to defect on longterm rates. Scarlet they are good at talking, engaging in conversation, maybe not so good at putting something together. When it comes to looking at oil prices and how this will play out, this could be a Long Time Coming before we get any kind of resolution. The longer it goes, the more painful it will be. Thecredit markets, highyield sector does draw upon the energy sector. Corporate credit has always been talked about as the next thing to crack in the next explosion or bear market. I cannot imagine how russia or saudi arabia would keep this going for long. The fiscal breakeven. Saudi needs prices in the 90s to run the kingdom. I know they have a surplus of cash but that is going to run out. Romaine when we look at what has happened particularly yesterday, we saw the credit ault swap sort of a sort sort of increase. They were nowhere near what we saw back during the financial crisis, so what does that tell you . Credit is one of the last markets holding up. The spreads have not blown out to the same extent as other markets. I have been talking to a lot of traditional or not traditional credit folks. They tell me they are watching the credit markets. If you see the last markets standing start to crumble, that could have contagion effects even more so in other markets. Romaine just like that. Katherine if it was not going to happen yesterday, when is it going to happen . If this does cause a recession, if the contagion effects tip us over into a recession, if those companies with weaker Balance Sheets start to not be able to what kind of headlines will move the market more . The number of deaths increasing like we have seen in weeks past, or fiscal stimulus. Above about all of the and we just have to be vigilant. There is no quick resolution. Andnge of outcomes are huge significant. Investors are incredibly skittish. The volatile nature to which that recovery happens, that will take a few weeks. This will take a few months to play out. Scarlet buyers and sellers have plenty of time. We want to thank our panelists. That does it for the closing bell. Whatd you miss . Is up next where we will be looking at how the virus will impact the u. S. Education system. This is bloomberg. Romaine live from bloomberg World Headquarters in new york, i am romaine bostick. Scarlet i am scarlet fu. Joe weisenthal is offered is off. Romaine turnaround tuesday. March madness. Volatility continues to grip Global Markets as investors attempt to reprice a rebound. Stimulus measures. Voiceicans and democrats the need for quick action, but agreement on the details for what action remains elusive. School is out before summer. Some universities and high schools are standing students home to prepare for virtual classes. Scarlet we turn to a bloombergs group. President trump meeting with senators on capitol hill, telling them he wants a tax holiday through the election. Dealing with the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. Lets bring in bloomberg chief washington correspondent Kevin Cirilli by phone. We pretty much told you what we know. The details are pretty slim. But in terms of timeline, how quickly can anything happen . That is precisely the issue. All morning and afternoon, i have been trying to see precisely where a timeline is. They dont even know if they will be in session ahead of the recess because of all the fluidity. There is this open debate as to what is going to happen with the shale industry and whether or not there will be some kind of bailout. Now, as the administration tries to grapple with the economic reality of the coronavirus and the energy tomorrow, ir way, am told top making officials will be at the white house as they try to hash together some type of timeline. Romaine our thanks to Kevin Cirilli. For more analysis, we want to bring in the managing partner and director of economic policies. Joining us from new orleans. We were just talking to our chief washington correspondent, this idea that washington is set to go on recess next week. This idea that congress and the fiscal policy makers in washington were getting their arms around this thing. Is the market sort of overestimating . I think that people have forgotten that Congress Needs to pass legislation to change any tax policy and the president cannot do that unilaterally. I have been speaking with staff for the past two weeks, obviously trying to figure out where they are with coronavirus, asking if i should use the current calendar to predict when a deadline exists . The answer i have gotten from leadership is they are getting calls from members saying, we dont want to be flying right now. We do not want to be in the crowded halls of congress. So lets disband. As kevin mentioned, maybe even theutside of session until easter recess. All of the conversations we are having is that any legislation would be weeks if not months away. Scarlet outside of washington until after easter. Is there any way for congress to conduct its business remotely or virtually . They can. They could call in if they wanted to. There are robust restrictions against that. I asked whether that would be suspended in the senate, where you have a lot of older senators and they are flying back and forth. Suspending that requirement is you have opened those floodgates. Sometimes, congress does not want to vote, so they have a hard and fast rule that if they are not physically in town, they cannot vote. Romaine you are dragging me down. Political issue. Talking about a lifeanddeath situation. This is really about the safety or the perceived safety of people like you and me. Lets talk about some of the policy prescriptions and assume that Congress Might actually want to get on a plane. What sort of policy proposals do you think would have the best chance of getting past . The pieces with the most support right now, the most cemented plans that have a lot of popularity in the business sector and congress is the plan that the democrats should be unrolling as soon as tonight. Given the very problematic timeline we just walked through, they think they can have this finalized and ready by thursday. That plan would provide Unemployment Insurance benefits, which would be about 30 put in dollars for a year. 30 billion for a year. It would provide paid sick leave. It would create potentially expanded childcare tax credits to help those families that have to have more childcare. A massive Infrastructure Spending package. The democrats rolled out a package back in december. They would love to see that implemented. Tell you iscy i can not going to pass is the payroll tax cut. They are pushing a 0 payroll tax. I just did the math, the payroll tax cut to 0 would amount to a bailout bigger than tarp. I think the odds of happening would be very low. Scarlet i want to bring in some comments that the blackrock vicechairman made today, calling for policymakers to step up. Whether we have the u. S. Leadership that we did have in 2008 to sort this out, that is the big question. Concerns that the sort of sits over the whole system. Where is the leadership . Where is the u. S. Leadership . Scarlet you were in washington in 2008. When we talk about the different measures that congress could take, you did not mention anything about specific bailouts or rescues of industries. What is the appetite for Something Like that for, say, the Airline Industry or the Restaurant Industry . Fx i would say it is extremely not extremely low. I think there are a couple senators, including one , whonent one from utah would tell you he does not want to take those votes again. Specific sector bailouts are not what American Voters are particularly inclined to endorse. You can see tax deferments, smallscale steps targeted at those industries and their employees, but a wholesale bailout is not realistic. What could move the needle . Are we waiting for some sort of impact to show up in hard Economic Data . Are we waiting for other countries to do stimulus . Is there anything here that would push things along a little bit faster . It is the correct way to think about it. The we go back to tarp and recession, it takes months, weeks, sometimes years to pass. We did not get the american recovery and reinvestment act until 2009. There are very slowmoving factors. Complicating this is the fact that the administration is trying to downplay how severe the coronavirus outbreak is. Anle they are responding on immediate basis, trying to get ahead of the Economic Data, that is not how folks on capitol hill respond. It takes a long time to have a handle on the scope of the problem. Tos will not be limited cruise ships. It will be a restaurants, anyone with seasonal retail workers. Certain geographical locations will be hit harder than others. They are just not close to wrapping their minds around it, let alone developing a policy response. Scarlet will have more with henrietta talking a little bit more about the impact on campaigns and the primary in michigan. This is bloomberg. Nominee the democratic race for u. S. President. Joe biden looking to widen his lead over print sanders over Bernie Sanders in the delegate count. Kind of a biguess night. We saw the momentum that joe biden picked up. The question is whether he can continue that momentum and lock away this nomination. What are you hearing with regards to his chances . Henrietta an interesting headline just crossed that the republican mayor in michigan in the fourth largest city in the state has just abandoned President Trump and supported joe biden. I strongly suspect he will be the nominee. We have had 70 odds of that happening since january based on a couple of factors that are now long gone in history. What i when i encourage investors to watch right now is voter turnout. Then larger in some states 2016. In some states, it is larger than 2008, which is a race that ushered president obama into the white house. That is the direction this is going. Scarlet the momentum is clearly on joe bidens side. Showing here in blue 53 odds for a democrat winning. Odds for a republican, namely President Trump, coming down to 50 . Clearly, momentum is on the democrats side. His momentum peaking a little too early . The president has a lot of time to see the economy recover and make some good inroads when it comes to the market and livelihood. This is a pretty incredible game of chicken. You have the democrats very focused on coronavirus. In the aftermath of that daily job support, there were immediate concerns out of the fight in campaign, how do we keep this going . 36 hoursous showing in or so. Coronavirus could either be something that helps the democrats or something that helps President Trump if it really does evaporate, it could help with President Trumps election, but we think it will be joe biden. Scarlet thank you. This is bloomberg. [ fastpaced drumming ] [ fastpaced drumming ] its more than just fast. It keeps all your devices running smoothly. With builtin security that protects your kids.

Romaine banking and financial stocks having their best day since 2011. That is coming off one of their worst days yesterday. Lets bring in the head of equity strategy. Gerard cassidy. They were a man of many hats. Banks, talk about obviously the Business Model is predicated on borrowing at lower rates and lending in higher longterm rates. I know that is a simplification. But have seen that gap narrow between shortterm and longterm yields. What are you seeing . Wellthink you summed it up i think it is very straightforward. Banks take in deposits and make loans. They obviously like to fund those loans with lower cost deposits and higheryielding loans. Today, the flat of the yield curve. The industry does better in a steeper yield curve environment. You saw the 10 year rise. Yesterday, we saw the plummet in the 10 year bond yield. That really very important we do h
