WEBVTT - Closing Bell: Entergy, Brown Foreman Soars, Coinbase Slides

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 2>This is the closing bell on this stock mover's report.

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 2>The company's making moves at the close of US trading

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 2>with Carol Masser, Tim Stenebeck, Romain Bostik, and Katie Greifel.

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, there's a little bit of green in

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the s and P five hundred. I went to that

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>part of the IMAP function and found some gainers today.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>The biggest gainer on a percentage basis in the S

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 1>and P five hundred is Energy today up more than

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>six point eight percent. This is a result of a

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>deal with Meta Platforms. It's paying for the construction of

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>seven new natural gas fired plants to fuel its data

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 1>center in rural Louisiana. Meta reaching a new agreement with

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Energy to build and pay for enough gas plants to

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>provide a total of five point two gigawatts of electricity

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>for the data center. The agreement includes a Meta commitment

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>TEL fund up to two and a half gigawatts of

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>new renewable resources, as well as a memorandum of understanding

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>to explore future element and use of nuclear power. Entergy

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>up by six point eight percent. The best performer on

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>a percentage basis in the S and P five hundred

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>among the best performers in there as well. I think

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>it was actually the second best performer. That's right. Brown

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Foreman up again on news of a potential acquisition by

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Pernard Rashow. So look at that Brown Foreman controlled by

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the Brown family. Up five point six percent today. It

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>was up yesterday as a result of this as well.

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>The big question is is the family going to approve

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>because they do have voting power of shares. And finally,

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a Peloton a blast from the past.

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and d out there speaking of twenty twenty two.

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 4>I was on my peloton this morning. What I'm talking about?

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Katie has an impressive peloton.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.479
<v Speaker 4>H that's quite the setup. All right.

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know how to segue that into what

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the stock did today, but it's up eight point nine percent.

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>This is actually the result of Eric Jackson out there

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>on social media. It serves as much as seventeen percent

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>before giving back some of those gains. Surging the most

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>intra day going back to July, Eric Jackson, the activist investor,

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>said he is long the stock. Here's what he said, quote,

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm long Peloton at four dollars he said in a

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>post on ex Peloton shares. At that point, we're down

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 1>about twenty four percent year to date. Up right now though,

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>we're up today to four dollars and forty three cents

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>a shareow.

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 5>So for decliners, I was very spoiled. I had a

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.239
<v Speaker 5>lot to choose from. We can start with Amazon. It's

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 5>down by four percent. No specific news, but we do

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 5>have the European Commission saying it was hit by a

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 5>cyber attack that may have resulted in the taft of

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 5>internal data and the tax struck the Commission's Amazon Web

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 5>Services or AWS account so before being detected, So maybe

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 5>that had something to do in part with the stocks decline.

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Up Next to Coinbase, I wanted to talk about this

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 5>because I wrote about this story yesterday about how coinbase

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 5>is teaming up with Better to really offer crypto mortgage.

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 5>Tim will be interested in this to crypto mortgage to Americans.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 5>And now we have TD cow and saying that the

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 5>product is mixed, so that's not really that great advantage

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 5>for the borrow is that they can obtain credit against

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 5>coin holdings the coin TD Covin said, but you know,

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 5>it's still questionable how they will move forward with that.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 5>So we have coinbased down by more than seven percent,

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 5>and lastly we have cybersecurity stocks down. But I want

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 5>to zero in on the ticker PA and WPOLLO Alto

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 5>shares are in the red by six percent. It's joined

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 5>by its peers, CrowdStrike and Sailor dropped by almost double digits.

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 5>So it's really because of a fortune report about an

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 5>artificial intelligence model being tested may be used by hackers.

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 4>All right, let's take a quick look at the bond market.

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 4>There because also spoiled for choice, though you did see

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 4>an interesting steepening which we were talking about with Jim Karen.

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.119
<v Speaker 4>You can see the two year yields actually fill eight

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 4>basis points, a little bit of a rally in the

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 4>short end of the curve, which was certainly interesting when

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 4>you think about where we were after that ugly auction

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 4>earlier in the week. Can't say the same for the

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 4>rest of the curve, though you saw a little bit

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 4>of selling pressure deeper as you get further out the curve.

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 4>Thirty year yields higher by about four basis points. Ten

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 4>year yields we are back above four forty ten. Are

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 4>you scared?

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, I wouldn't say I'm scared, okay, But what

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I will say is I wonder what the President's next

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>move is. Because yesterday, after the selloff, what we saw

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>was a message from the President calling for an extension

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and by many accounts, perhaps a third sort of extension.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And the idea was that maybe this would give more

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>time for negotiations, and markets bought it a little bit.

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>But then this morning, with seemingly increase in hostilities overnight

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and more strikes and strikes on infrastructure as well, markets

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>are not buying the idea that there is a sort

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.479
<v Speaker 1>of an off ramp anytime soon. I mean, look no

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>further than oil prices. You have Brent right now up

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>above one hundred and thirteen dollars a barrel, WTI hitting

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>one hundred dollars a barrel. That's up close to six

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>percent right now, and Brent up isabel what almost five

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>percent today.

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 5>It's really been a wild in the oil market. But

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 5>I'm wondering if we're a victim of our own quant

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 5>system I'll go system, or just our own fear City

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 5>release a note this week saying that selling off on

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Friday and buying back on Monday has been a recurrent

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 5>pattern over the past few weeks because investors are just

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 5>really worry of car and risk over the weekend because

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 5>maybe they want to have a nice brunch session or

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 5>hang out with their kids, but they buy at it.

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much, Kenye.

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that.

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.239
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I feel like that's really maybe something we're seeing.

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 5>The city also said conviction has been low because of

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 5>course it's a headline driven market and it's really been

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 5>tough to figure out this narrative.

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Picking up on that, I wonder how inured we're getting

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 3>to this, the way that all of this has unfolded.

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 3>And Tim, I think your point is a very good one.

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 3>What does the president say we're due next? We have

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 3>this very specific ten day extension ending in eight pm

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 3>East Coast time, which I think is three thirty am

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Tehran time on April the sixth. I just wonder sort

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 3>of what power he has in this moment. I think

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 3>that's what's been laid bare today as we've seen Israel

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 3>make those strikes on infrastructure in Iran. Today, I think

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 3>the present fee feels like he's still calling the shots

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 3>and running the show and determining how long this is

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 3>going to last. But I will say from what I've

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 3>watched over the last few weeks, he seems to have

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 3>limited power in that regard there, especially as this warwide

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 3>and skating.

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 4>And I'm sure you're going to be discussing something along

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.839
<v Speaker 4>these lines at seven am tomorrow and on Sunday. But

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 4>it is interesting. I mean, you think about the potential

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 4>endgames for Israel, you think about the potential endgame for

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 4>the US. How much of a golf is there between them?

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 4>That certainly is a big question. As this around war

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 4>continues to deepen in terms of the timeframe, it's going

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 4>to be interesting to see how all of this plays

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 4>out in the market. I keep going back to this

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 4>note from JP Morgan basically saying that should oil trade

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 4>at one hundred and ten dollars dollars per barrel for

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 4>the rest of the year, that earnings estimates for S

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 4>and P five hundred companies would be shed by as

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 4>much as about five percent. And that really is one

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 4>of the last sort of rallying cries of the bulls

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 4>out there that corporate America still looks pretty good right now.

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Tim, So that could be the view on what happens

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to earnings, But there's also a big political element to this.

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>We had a great conversation with Joe Lovinger out of

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>our Texas bureau earlier. He along with Jeff Mason out

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>of DC, went to Seapack over the weekend and what

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>they heard from people was a real difference in sort

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of their support for the president because of this war.

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>But it reminds us that affordability is what this president

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>ran on. It If oil stays high in affordability, things

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>don't become more affordable for Americans. I think, you know,

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Republicans really could pay the price at the polls come November.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>But before that is Bloomberg this weekend, seven am tomorrow

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>so much. David Gera will be there along with Christina Raffini.

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 3>And hopefully you I mean watching yeah, comfort of the

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Peloton stee whatever.

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I will definitely be watching out, definitely up on.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.400

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:47.720
