Global news 24 hours a day, on air and at quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in i amthan 120 countries, ritika gupta. This is bloomberg. Francine . Tom . Tom thank you so much. Equities, bonds, currencies, commodities. I am focusing on the stock market with a riskon feel. Edward hyman will join us later. Spx up 51 points, dow futures up 525 points. The vix in four big figures. What you need to know is how far we were extended. It is amazing, technically the lack of damage because we were so far extended to the upside. Near 17. 40 per ounce. Atncine i am looking european stocks rising with u. S. Futures, not by huge amounts but still getting 1 . There was a selloff that we talked about extensively on concern of a second wave of infections, but also the prospect of a protracted economic recovery. I think markets are trying to make sense of the treasuries and the dollar slipping. I also wanted to look at the vix, 36. 83. We had that bad figure out of the u. K. , the u. K. Economy retreating by 20 because of the lockdown. My wanted to see if there was is impact on pound and it 1. 2636. More on the markets. Mark, what is being priced in . What was the correction about . Was it a blip or was it something more fundamental . I think it is a blip in terms of we are probably not going right back to the lows, but it is not over yet. We have a few events that we are focused on. The fomc was a big one. The fomc did not disappoint but did not surprise positively. It was going to be easier for them to disappoint, given that the rally had been driven by stimulus. Once that was out of the way, that brought the attention back to the virus story, and that is looking increasingly negative. Some thing we have been highlighting is that infections globally picked up aggressively m midmay, which would from monday, we saw global fidelity numbers pick up. Now we will get back to the idea, is there the potential for the u. S. States to relock down again . Problem in south asia is probably going to take the limelight. We will get increased virus concerns, and i think we will price in some of the ex ex exuberance of recent weeks. But there is one really important overriding thing to remember. Incredible are on an rally, immensely overvalued, but many other stock markets around the world are still man u ash massively discounted are still massively discounted. Whether you are bullish or bearish depends on whether youre u. S. Centric or whether you have a global macro perspective. Francine if there is a second lockdown, where do you see it first . We are not Health Experts, we look at the markets. Do Market Participants now need to become Health Experts . Mark i think having to attempt to kind of have some grasp of roughly the trends that are there, rather than being worried about the lockdown next, it is which lockdowns really matter and what form they will take. The overriding bit is part of the reason i dont think equities will go back to the lows is i think countries are becoming more comfortable with the idea of becoming a bit more like sweden, keeping the economy open to some extent while controlling the virus problem. And feeling they have a better idea of testing, of tracing it. I dont think we will go back to a world of extreme lockdowns like there were in march, no matter how bad the virus. I think we take that picture and we are going to do more for the economy, less focus on extreme health measures, and you combined that with a massive amount of stimulus from policymakers around the world. There is still more downturn next week, but the dip will be bottoming because there is too much liquidity in the market. Tom just fascinating. I really want to emphasize, a number of bulls reaffirming their bullish out book. I know you are not in the business of buy or sell, but i have to ask you come on a calendar basis in june, this is a gift to the institutional money that did not buy this bull market. They get a Second Chance this morning. How dippy is the crowd this morning . How urgent is it to get back on board if you missed the up before . Mark that is a great question. A key question, something we have been talking about since yesterday. Just jokingly we said we would get a move below the 3000. You get the bears excited and that is when the Institutional Investors would get excited. We saw that in the shortterm. But i think we will get a further dip. ,he last week or so particularly after fridays job numbers at the start of the week, was the final capitulation, the forced buying of those who i think we have now finished the forced buying and that is why we have been able to have this pullback. Whether those people that are under invested will buy and, i think they are getting more cash. He continues to climb all the time as they continue to accumulate more cash into their coffers. Let me switch to the Standard Poors 500, folks, at about 3000 3100. 3000, 3100. We can test that trading range in a healthy way, not in a panicked way, correct . Mark i think that is 100 correct. Bulls do not mind a little bit of a pullback. I reiterate that if we have a pullback to 2800, i think that will be feasible and will not scare any of the bulls at all. Many bulls were happy to buy for those eight days in march at 2400. So buying at 2800 is not so scary that the world is falling apart. I dont think there will be any panic. The real opportunity in the world will still be in the u. S. The u. S. Equity market will not be a bargain. It will just no longer be so expensive. Thank you somore, much for getting me started. Mark cudmore looking at the markets for bloomberg from singapore. We are going to do a lot more on the markets all the way through bloomberg surveillance peter we will get bloomberg surveillance peter we we will get hyman ed hyman with us. Gdpstian keller on 20 possible for europe. Please stay with us. This is bloomberg. Good morning. Francine this is bloomberg surveillance. Tom and francine from london and new york. The economy shrank just over 20 in april over the virus lockdown. The contraction wiped out almost 18 years of growth out. Returning the economy to the same size it was in between thousand two in 2002. Journey us now is Christian Keller, barclays head of economics research. First, it could be the u. K. , quite a number of countries, the u. S. , but also european countries. What kind of recovery are we going to see . Ofre is now the possibility a second lockdown after a resurgence of infections. Economic that do the forecast . Christian you said something at the beginning that is important. Asecond wave can lead to second set of lockdowns. Ultimately what brought activity down is the lockdown. By a secondstified wave. Im not sure that the reaction by governments to a second wave would be like the first wave. ,f you think about recent data it may be relatively optimistic i dont want to use the word, but we were thinking about a relatively good recovery. Several data out of china, u. K. Data was poor but that was expected. U. S. Labor market data was better, so we did actually believe in a relatively swift recovery. Rates, not in growth a b in getting to where we were in 2019. We really have a second wave and we have to react to it in terms of that definitely would be a question. Look ate when you economic forecasts, and we saw it from part the imf and part the oecd. There are two sets of forecasts. One is what we are seeing now, and the second is because there is a second lockdown. Is this because we are being overly cautious or is it because the nature of the infection or the nature of covid19 makes it likely the echo christian makes it likely . We look at history come all the way back to the spanish flu, and there have been second waves. Enit depends on how governments would react. You have now better preparedness by the hospitals, and it is not clear to me that even if there was a second wavelength infections, it would lead to the wave of lockdowns that we saw in the past few months. It is clear that institutions in the imf, the oecd, they have to prepare and make different forecasts where there is an area where there is another wave of lockdowns. Obviously those scenarios are much worse than the baseline, which does not foresee a second wave or at least not a second wave of mandated economic activity. Tom Christian Keller, we are getting in monthly gdp data from the united kingdom. We will get in quarterly data from other countries, including america. Are these grim statistics enough to shift the fiscal debate . Christian to a large extent, i think the fiscal debate has already shifted significantly. Comingseen what has been out of germany, for example, in recent weeks, the kind of youre talking about changing packages of cutting, providing more money to people to allow them to spend it. That is just one instance of a country that is known for fiscal conservativism. What has already happened in the u. K. And also in the u. S. , there is a lot of fiscal largess going on, a letter spending without necessarily thinking about the longterm impact. I think the political debate around fiscal policy has already shifted significantly in the past few months. Inflation and deflation does disinflation and deflation follow the u. K. s grim statistics . Can you bring it over vshaped or not to just a complete dampening of inflation . The number is something a lot of people wonder about. On growth we are trying to get a handle on it. We know the mechanics. On inflation, what would happen not in the next few months or quarters. I think that is quite clear. It is really unlikely that you will see any surprises, inflation flaring backup. Termt is a medium question, two or three years from now, where we could see a situation where we have a lot of monetary stimulus in particular, and a lot of fiscal stimulus also. Possibly if there was a second wave and we saw a rebound come in the background we may see something on the supply side shoulde have some could we be in a supplyon where we create more expensive supply, and at the same time wrapping up all demand, and finally getting into a situation where we see proper inflation coming back up. That is an open question for the shortterm. All indications are that inflation will stay low and that is why Central Banks can do nothing until 2023. Francine when you look at economies, regional economies across the world, where do you see the biggest concern . These were economies that first some of the packages done by governments, but also from the monetary policies have been different. For example, the u. S. , europe, and for the u. K. We were active from places in the Economic Cycle ahead of the lockdown. Christian if i take a broad looking atld say, the economic response, some of the emerging markets are a concern. India and brazil, these large economies where the virus has been increasing, they do not have the room and the space for the kind of monetary and fiscal policy response that we saw in the advanced economies. Groupso, across a larger of emerging markets, if you look at the fed dynamics and the and what it would mean for sovereign defaults going forward. I thinkook at europe, we see the diversion clearly. I mention germany earlier, a veryry that mustered a robust response. Then we have countries in the periphery, which apart from being hit very hard by oronavirus now expect the tourism season to bring some gdp that may not come. Have countries where italy , countries like that are more concerned about. This is required to keep the policy response by the e. U. , which may go to the recovery fund. Tom Christian Keller with barclays, and we will continue. A lot to talk about. If you are just joining us, just grim gdp numbers for one month in the united kingdom. We are continuing to focus on the markets, and to do that we need expert conversation. In our next hour, we are thrilled to bring you edward hyman of evercore isi. Stay with us. From london, from new york on this friday, this is bloomberg. Ritika this is bloomberg surveillance. Lets get the Bloomberg Business flash. The Biggest Airlines in the u. K. Are suing the british government, trying to overturn the new requirement that people arriving in britain selfisolate for two weeks because of the coronavirus pandemic. British airways, ryanair, and easyjet says the warrantee and will have a devastating event on tourism and the wider economy. Hertz is asking a judge to take advantage of a rally in its stock, wanting to sell up to 1 billion in new shares. Of hertz rallied nearly tenfold from may 20 62 this past monday. It has fallen by more than half. Investors are betting that the travel industry is set to rebound. Jim says china zoom says china deactivated the service in zoom says it from now on it will not allow requests from the Chinese Government to impact anyone outside mainland china. That is the Bloomberg Business flash. Francine this is what the markets are looking at. The markets are definitely focus on the correction that we saw yesterday, and they are deciding to focus on giving a bit of a lift up to the markets. The focus is not only on a potential second lockdown because of rising infections, but on what kind of recovery we will see. Tom it will be interesting. We have a nice balance this morning off the corners that we saw yesterday. Edward hyman will join us here in a bit. Mohamed elerian later this morning. Looking forward to that. Stay with us.

Just to give you one idea, tom per sally really reaffirms his belief in some form of vshaped recovery for the american economy. We wanted to take some time outside of the market upset to talk about the great dialogue on deflation, disinflation, inflation and the concept of reflation. We started that earlier this with olivia. The professor made very clear that we need the courage to reflate. Ith us keller us is christian of barclays. Can politicians be successful if pulling us away from the abyss of deflation and disinflation . I would say we call it the abyss of deflation. I think that already starts. If you look at deflation across history, deflation may not always be as much of a business as you say. You dont necessarily go into recession or a depressed economy. Japanfrom a crisis like in the early 1990s, and as we do now, you palma and then go into a deflationary spiral, i think this is the most dangerous spot. This is a precedent that has been going on for a long time. It has been a technology change, a lot of things have played a role to bring us down from inflation from highlevel. In the immediate future, i think this is about reflate think. I think the programs that have been put in place where the right ones. We need to avoid deflation, which we are successful at doing. The question about the longerterm is about how much are we potentially creating supply bottoms through rearranging our Global Economy, structurally, that may be then could create even more inflation, possibly more than we want to. At the moment, i think it is about reflate think, and we are relatively successful at least avoiding deflation at the moment. Tom what we heard from chairman for twon a dot plot, years, it looks like a hockey stick and then there is this hope and prayer of inflation out there longerterm. Basically, the central bank of the world is giving it up. Is that right . Christian i think at least telling us they are out of office until 23. If you look at the forecast, the ecb, in spite of having an extra still have an, inflation of just 1. 3 or so. I think both Central Banks are telling us that they fear the risk of not getting inflation back up our high. They see a high uncertainty. They know from the past crisis that other models have not worked. They have been very poor in forecasting inflation. They take the precautionary approach. Low and going to stay do everything to avoid doing everything that it comes back up. Uncertainty is really high around them, but the beginning of the message from a policy side that they are going to continue to do everything to reflate by giving us forecasts that tell us there is no inflation two years from now. When you look at all of what Central Banks have been doing it is amazing to think that only five months ago, they had reached the limit of what they could do next. How impossible is it going to be to unwind all of this extra stimulus that they have put out there . Christian i think you are very right. 2009 was the8 and an orthodoxy that we could see. Now, we have learned that you can take it a step further by not only doing more q. Week, but also blurring the lines between what is system and monetary policies. Systems are encouraging policymakers to spend. Then there is the question o
