S. Thats still way ahead with over 5 179000 confirmed cases and over 23000 that and most of these thats brand are in new york the hardest hit us stayed with over 10000 of so thats half that thats happening in new york now moving over to spain the 2nd hardest hit country thousands of like you said construction Workers Office workers and.

S. Is hoping implemented the same kind of program but its proved to china to be extremely costly so its going to be the same happening for the United States so theres a lot of if so a lot of unknowns in quezon at the moment r t correspondent side of having to thank you for keeping us up to date on this. And as a reminder you can always find the latest news and information regarding the quote of virus on portable t. V. s coronavirus tracker and the worlds Top Oil Producers managed to pull off a Historic Deal in an agreement to cut output by 1700000. 00 Barrels Per Day for the next 2 months thats close to 10 percent of the worlds output. After days of discussion and negotiations opec members and allied non members including russia and mexico finalize the deal on sunday runs oil minister confirmed the reduction. Within 2 months and opec reduce production on the unbearable to be for the next 6 months from until the end of the year they will cut production barrels or grandma about into the next 16 months after that is some getting from 221 until april 2022 to his own 6000000 Barrels Per Day whose. And as the world faces restrictions due to the pandemic Global Demand for oil has fallen by around 30000000. 00 Barrels Per Day this deal comes as an Inflection Point amid several months of disagreements and fall out between saudi arabia and russia a spokesman for russian president Vladimir PutinDmitri Peskov praising the deal. We consider this. And some other countries can reach. To understand the shaken soil market. U. S. President donald trump also touted the deal adding it will save thousands of American Energy jobs for more on this said what equity markets are doing monday we are joined by t. J. Watkins director of stocks at Simpler Trading and boom bust cohost Christine Christine lets start with what is going on with oil was a story the markets. Well brand loyal prices have stabilized monday after opec and allies agreed to cut production by 9700000. 00 Barrels Per Day thats almost a 10th of Global Production so this deal is the single largest in history but it is still below expectations of what opec had guided earlier 10000000. 00 Barrels Per Day but apparently the oil markets have been so devastated that itll take any sort of cut at this point even if its too little too late and that was evidence of volatile trading where it initially plunged down before struggling back up to flat so market reactions to this deal however historic it was was muted as traders view this as more of a chest thumping political theater the Reference Point for the reductions will be april the months if you recall in which saudi arabia has pledged to pump about 12300000. 00 Barrels Per Day out as a ramped up its price war with russia so that effectively means that the 1st phase of the cuts will only amount to about 7000000. 00 Barrels Per Day so by doing the math these cuts will only lead to an actual opec production of 4300000. 00 Barrels Per Day of from 1st quarter levels of 2020 and these production cuts will begin on may 1st and extend to the end of that and then the cuts will taper to 7700000000. 00 barrels through to the end of 2020 and then finally 5800000. 00 Barrels Per Day from january of 2021 through april of 2022 and while these cuts will certainly help to lift prices theres still a tremendous market imbalance as we reach worldwide Storage Capacity for crude theres already a super large inventory build up of over 1000000000 barrels now and these cuts are barely enough to even make a dent in it it will only serve to postpone the problem. So in short these cuts were below expectations of 10000000. 00 Barrels Per Day and is nowhere near enough to offset the plunge and demand which analysts estimate to be a mystery in 20. 00 to 36000000. 00 Barrels Per Day now as we mentioned last week mexico has been exempted from its allocation of cutting 400000 Barrels Per Day and instead will only reduce by 100000 after its historic mexican standoff with the saudis holding up negotiations for 4 days so the question is what allowed mexico to stand up to the mighty opec and actually win well mexico have what bloomberg had dubbed a sector weapon and ace card as enter negotiations and that ace was its annual oil hedge where mexico spend billions of dollars on oil put giving it the right to sell its oil at a predetermined set price at around 45. 00 per barrel now the equivalent of their insurance policy so even if oil prices plunged further mexico will be unaffected this oil put mexico unprecedented leverage to defy saudi and the powerful opec cartel to dictate the negotiations on its own terms now over on the equity side of things the market fell almost 2 percent with caterpillar being the worst performing stock falling more than 80 percent as it was downgraded by mantles and real estate also led the decline lower ending the day with the dow and s. And p. Down over one percent but the nasdaq turned positive at the last minute on the back of netflix popping up almost 8 percent the markets to digest some nasty earnings this week as j. And j. J. P. Morgan and bank of america are set to appear earnings this week Analysts Expect 1st quarter earnings as m. P. Comes to fall 9 percent now thats a far cry from earlier estimates at the beginning of the year in january 1st forecasting a 6. 3 percent gain 1st quarter now t. J. I want to bring you into this conversation i have to ask i mean we saw a big week last week and of course were starting this week down but have to have we puerto i mean are already have we seen the bottom where markets going from here we talk about volatility a lot what do you see. Well right now what im seeing is that i think were going to have a little bit more upside the you know we had a crazy week last week that was great but what happened was that it just basically moved too much too quickly and became unsupported so im looking for a little bit of a pullback i was completely in cash going into the weekend and so when we see this pullback coming on monday this is exactly what i was expecting and what ive been communicating to the subscribers and so now im just looking for prices to kind of settle in some place and then i think well get a little bit more upside now we dont know the future but thats kind of what im looking for and expecting part of what im looking at and saying that had think this is going to continue even though i know weve got some crazy earnings coming out is that netflix amazon and some of the other takers that i do watch were actually looking pretty good and started moving today and so i think that there might be a little bit of idea out there that hey the market still wants to go up a little bit further we are looking for a pullback but thats telling some other stocks that were still in an uptrend i mean we havent rolled over and stopped going down yet kristie i want to propose a similar question to you because were also looking at a trend here its about every other week the week ending march 20th. April 3rd which were the weeks that i hosted boom bust we lost about 600 points on the New York Stock Exchange in weeks ending march 27th and april 10th which were those day oka weeks we gained about 2000 points what are we looking at here. Well look at bad luck brant and i surely were seeing a lot of volatility and thats i mean every single we can have a slew of good news and a slew of bad news all i want some markets kind of price and all these things and right now we dont have any hard data points and thats what everybody is going to looking for in terms of this Earnings Call obviously every Single Company is going to guide downwards and theyre going to psychoanalyze as being one of the biggest indicator we have to remember that corona virus is going to be a very long tails are just because they say that we are told in terms of new cases that doesnt mean that everything is all well and good and will rebound in mediately the questions of how are we going to deal with me opening the economy whats that going to look like how are you going to deal with the large unemployment numbers and on the back of that these large medical bills which for every Single Person who suffered the coronavirus and covered their basic medical bills about 30000. 00 now t. J. I want to ask you a quick question before we wrap up here you know what about Small Cap Companies and the start up space that were looking at i mean the softening vision fund is talking about you know what i think it was 16600000000. 00 loss i mean were going to go moving forward about 30 seconds here yeah thats going to be rough i mean everything is getting hit and so this i will say this company this venture fund was the 1st year that asked after 15 years that theyve actually had a loss but it was a doozy it was a big one right now you know what small caps go up like rockets when theyre good but they fall like rocks when they get into trouble and i think thats what were seeing right now is that the everything right now of corona is just getting hits and theyre going to be following the vastus in the hardest to do walk ins and christiane thank you both for joining us today much appreciated. Thank you. Time now for a quick pause but hang tight because well be right back after flash and as we go to numbers as we go to break here the numbers at the close. Thinking of getting a new phone the ones weve got an hour shows no problem was he didnt know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired how much were going to need a crate with him he will start reaching out and she will want to bring him anywhere near.

And welcome back frustrations continue to mount for Small Business owners who have been repeatedly promised that financial help is on the way the biggest problem they are facing is that help doesnt seem to be coming at all there are multiple programs that lenders in washington are leaders in washington have insisted would provide emergency funding to Small Businesses but so far it seems that nothing has been provided joining us now to break it all down is the bus cohost investigative journalist ben swan been nice to see you today the 1st program that seems to have unraveled are these Economic Injury disaster loans that was supposed to provide loans to up to of up to 2000000 dollars for Small Businesses but now Business Owners are learning that they cant even get close to that whats going on there yeah thats exactly right i mean look at these these economic you know disaster loans essentially were set up and this is an existing thing by the way of the s. B. A. Existing program that was supposed to say look if you have up to 2000000. 00 in losses over some kind of a Natural Disaster or a pandemic the s. B. A.
