They are getting under way. Protesters in new york citys union square are holding a kneeling moment at this hour. While we see a standoff at city hall in philadelphia, to the right of that, then we have the aerial shot of protesters who are marching in gaithersburg, maryland. All of this follows a tense weekend filled with violent protests, riots and looting of businesses both big and small, in cities and towns across the nation. This is not simply limited to big urban areas. Weve got team fox business coverage here ready to show you some of the damage on the ground live. And Corporate Americas reaction as companies from apple to microsoft to nike to netflix and others comment and make moves on the state of race in america.

Dow jones industrials up 113. We have the s p moving higher by 16 and the nasdaq gaining 69 points. Less than an hour to the closing bell, it will be a very busy hour, lets start the claman countdown. Liz we begin with this breaking news. At any moment, we are expecting to receive the findings of the independent autopsy of george floyd, the man who seven days ago was killed by a Minneapolis Police officer. Attorney ben crump, known for his civil rights work, will hold a virtual News Conference to announce the results. Hes going to be joined by his cocounsel, antonio romanuci and the medical professionals who conducted this autopsy. We are going to let you know their findings as soon as we receive the details. So much of what is happening right now may very well hinge on what comes out of that autopsy. We are seeing a sea change in the last 24 hours as well, among Corporate Americas ceos. They often steer clear of conflict or in polarizing times but many are now taking a stand. Apples tim cook, the ceo of the worlds most ubiquitous tech company, sent a memo to employees sunday, even as looters smashed their way into apple stores from phoenix to minneapolis, portland to chicago, cook addressed the killing of george floyd, saying quote, we could have no society were celebrating unless we can guarantee freedom from fear for every person who gives this country their love, labor and life. To intel which is pledging 1 million to Community Organizations focused on social injustice. We have facebook pledging 10 million. Peloton donating 500,000 to the naacp. Intel down 1. 6 . Facebook up 2 . Peloton getting a big move up by about 6 . Media companies are also expressing solidarity with Peaceful Protesters. They include netflix, disney, at ts warner media, and fox news itself has denounced the arrest of a cnn crew. The journalist at the warner media run Cable Network were handcuffed on Live Television while covering a protest in minneapolis. They were released an hour later with no charges. With so much chaos going around the nation, no surprise that Police Body Cam and equipment makers, digital ally and Axon Enterprises are spiking. Digital ally up 71 , Axon Enterprises, the parent of taser, is up 16. 6 . They make surveillance equipment as well. So a move there certainly on those two names. We are now day seven of these protests. We turn to our team fox business coverage. Our reporters on the ground covering Economic Impact of the protests and the riots gripping the nation. Kristina partsinevelos is live in new york city graineand grad trimble is live in chicago. We want to begin with kristina. Obviously union square protesters are starting to trickle in i guess for another day of demonstrations against Police Brutality, sparked by the death of george floyd at the hands of that Minneapolis Police officer, but what are you seeing down there and what are you hearing at times square . We hear there will be protests there as well starting right now. Reporter right. So you have union square, what we are expecting in times square, though, is a 3 00 p. M. Gathering. Here, you are starting to see several groups with their signs, very peaceful, i have to add. You have here, take your knee off his neck, one sign. If we can move to this crowd over here with black lives matter, they have been protesting extremely peacefully. They arrived roughly within the last hour so i would say about 100 people, alining the parks on the east and west side. You have 20 Police Officers on each side as well as the south side but with the situation we have seen throughout the entire day, is a giant construction site across the city. Why . Because everybody is boarding up their glass windows. We know that looters and vandals just destroyed property and not only south of 14th street and union square, where we saw a lot of the marching, but random acts of vandals, even north of the city you are seeing random coffee shops targeted, the ups store, and looting going on, if we can show you visuals from this morning we went to a duane reed and also a 7eleven in broad daylight. Today we witnessed as a camera crew, we witnessed looters go into the 7eleven and try to steal all the cigarettes as well as beer. I witnessed two men trying to go into well, they successfully went into a gnc vitamin shop and stole vitamins there. This comes as businesses are slowly starting to reopen. They are reeling with the shutdown and lockdown thats affecting big and large. Target announcing cloesures, cv has 250 stores damaged by vandals, mall of america delaying their reopening. Near the city, if we can pan, i will show you quickly because the crowd is gathering, you have just planks of wood all across all of these stores here. Its only preparation for the worst but you asked what the expectation is going forward. Police are ready and it seems like the next accept is meeting in times square. Its going to be all across the city. Unfortunately, its affecting Small Businesses. This is what takes away, you are damaging not only Storefront Properties but damaging what these Peaceful Protesters are actually protesting for. You can see here, still very very quiet but we are early on in the day and hopefully yesterday and the previous days will not be repeated this evening. Back to you. Liz thank you very much. We will go back to kristina who is on the move with the marchers as soon as we let her go. In the meantime, to grady trimble, who is now on the south side of chicago. Grady, yesterday you witnessed the looting of multiple stores on the famed michigan avenue. Tell us exactly whats behind you here. Reporter this is whats left of a Beauty Supply store. Yesterday in broad daylight, apparently looted and then it burst into flames, smoke billowing for several hours as fire crews tried to put it out. I want to walk down, if we can, to the rest of this plaza because theres a metro pcs store here, everything taken from that store, then this is a citibank where they are currently working to board it up. Thats what we are seeing all around the different parts of chicago that have been hit hard, people boarding up their windows after getting hit and people protectively boarding up their windows in the hopes that it stops them from being hit. I want to show you some video from yesterday. Some of the looting took place in broad daylight. Some of it, it got worse, i should say, in the evening hours. Mayor Lori Lightfoot says it spread like wildfire, at times they were taking 2,000 911 calls every half hour. This also turned out to be one of the most violent weekends in chicago for 2020 and again, this is as chicago was getting ready to enter its third phase of reopening on wednesday to include retail locations, to expand their capacity as well as outdoor dining. I talked to a Small Business owner who owns a Clothing Store in the wicker park neighborhood. She says she was getting ready to reopen her doors on wednesday, now she doesnt know what shes going to do. One thing thats been encouraging in all of this is obviously there are these professionals who are here boarding up but we have also seen a lot of volunteers helping out and i spoke to one of them today about the impact this is having on businesses but also their communities. Listen. What really breaks our hearts is the Small Businesses that are being destroyed. They were already struggling before covid and they were going some of them were going to open up in the next week or two, and you know, the glasses are shattered and like were just doing what we can. Reporter as we enter that next phase of reopening here in chicago, we dont know if its going to happen on the timeline that we were expecting. Like i said, wednesday was the target date for that expanded retail reopening as well as outdoor dining, and at this point with so much unrest, the National Guard here downtown essentially on lockdown. Nobodys allowed into the city or out of the city. Public transit shut down and now theres talk of these protests and looting extending into the suburbs. We dont know whats going to happen with reopening. Theres no decision at this time. Liz . Liz grady, thank you very much. Grady trimble. The spark plug that has ignited the nations burning questions about racism, Peaceful Demonstrations against it and the violence that has begun to rage, how will we douse the violence that has clouded the original message of these protests against what happened to george floyd . Wall street veteran Tracy Maitland grew up in the bronx and today is president and chief Investment Officer of Advent Capital Management. Stemming from his familys legacy with dr.

Just moments ago, it is a peaceful protest, what you see here are multiple people, lets call it a hundred, 150 at the moment from what we can tell, who are lying on the ground in an area that is usually heavily trafficked by foot. So the nasdaq is at about 43rd and Seventh Avenue which of course, meets right there in times square with broadway. You can see a lot of stores there and to the right, you so t see the new York Police Department outpost that has been there for many, many years and of course, broadway and all the theaters have been closed since the coronavirus. You will also glance in the back of the crowd, now it looks like several hundred as we turn around with the camera crew there. You can see as well that many of the stores have been boarded up in anticipation of protests and concerns about violence but at the moment, very peaceful, as people lie down on the ground. I do just want to make a point, too, that this area was close to traffic several years ago back when Mike Bloomberg was mayor. He made the move to close certain streets to traffic and make it just simply be the crossroads of the world where people could walk and be very comfortable at the moment. So we will keep an eye on the situation in times square. For now very peaceful. Let us shift to the markets and to the economy. Are we finally seeing perhaps a few of the bits of wind of change in the current economic climate . Let me give you the ism index, the piece of data that gives us the sense of the health of manufacturing in america. Look at this, it actually climbed to a better than expected 43. 1 in the month of may, from aprils 41. 5 reflecting the new strength as the nation begins to reopen. The markets which had been down this morning immediately turned around as soon as that boost off the 11year low last month hit the tape. We continue to see some gains here. Considering markets are now at threemonth highs, lets bring in our floor show traders, here on whether you, the investor, should lower your stock exposure to maybe avoid Collateral Damage from what could be a cold war, trade war with china or another violent night of riots around the country. Phil flynn, i will begin with you. The risk factors are right in front of our faces here, yet the market continues to enjoy a bull party. How worrisome or expected is Something Like that and would you advise investors to shift around a bit . You know, i think right now, you want to stay calm. I think that could be said for the entire country. We are going through an emotional thing right now with these protests and riots and theres a lot of tension. I believe in the american people, i believe we can still come together and try to work through these problems. Im pretty optimistic and i think the market is as well. We are seeing green shoots in the economy. We are seeing things start to get better and hopefully as the economy starts to get better, some of the tensions we have seen over the last few days will start to calm down a little bit and we can focus. China obviously a big problem, but china was going to be a problem anyway. We have been through the trade war situation, we have been through the volatility. At the end of the day, what we find out is the u. S. Has a tendency to win these trade wars and the stock market is overall benefited from the tension. I think at the end of the day, i wouldnt, you know, dont sell, you know, sell out of everything right now. Wait to see how things play out. I think you will be rewarded at the end of the day because i do think we will come together. Liz tom, you are at the new york stock exchange. Again, we saw the markets make a 180 going from negative to positive on a piece of Economic Data that looked better than expected. But you know, if we look at the risk factors in the market, the pandemic is still here, theres a new outbreak in one region, the rust belt of china, and people are wondering what really is next when it comes to these protests and when the sun goes down, although we just heard from our reporter Kristina Partsinevelos that this morning in broad daylight, she saw looting right in front of her. You got businesses, many of which we know whether its foot locker or citibank or cvs or duane reed who have been subject, target, 200 stores have been affected, and it makes you wonder at the moment what really will be a tipping point, if anything at all, for the markets and perhaps it might be nothing. Maybe it is what phil says. We believe in the spirit of america and we are moving forward, not backward. Well, liz, the last time i was on, we talked about a rotation into cyclicals coming out of a recession and as we have seen since then, the last couple of weeks, those groups have dramatically outperformed. I think this is a shortterm situation with the looting and the protesting that will work itself out over time but what we are watching and people are watching is 95 of the s p 500 stocks right now are above their 50day moving average and most people are saying thats overbought except this has happened five times in the last 20 years after a 20 plus correction in the stock market, and 100 of the time, it was the beginning of a multiyear rally, not the end. So there is cause for positivity, especially when you look at global fiscal stimulus is now 12 of global gdp. Thats a tremendous amount of stimulus thats coming in and i think thats going to continue to help these cyclicals like you saw in the last recession, the laggard value stocks actually outperformed Lockheed Martin is up ten times from the last recession, home depot, boeing, United Health care, and microsoft, all up 10x. They were laggard value stocks and they led the way and we are going to see these type of cyclicals lead the way moving forward. Liz yeah. Sure looks like recessions have been quite the buying opportunity. We remind everybody the may jobs report comes out friday. We are expecting an Unemployment Rate to jump from 14 to 20 , poss
