Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. Good morning, I'm Nathan
Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're
Speaker 1: following today.
Speaker 2: We begin with the latest developments in the Middle East.
Speaker 2: President Biden is warning Israel that any invasion of the
Speaker 2: southern Gaza city of Rafa would cross a red line.
Speaker 2: In an interview with MSNBC, the President criticized the high
Speaker 2: death toll in Gaza.
Speaker 3: There's red lines that if he crosses in the cannot
Speaker 3: have thirty thousand.
Speaker 2: More Palestinians dead as a consequence of going up.
Speaker 4: There's other ways to deal to get to to deal
Speaker 4: with with.
Speaker 5: The trauma caused by Hamas.
Speaker 2: The President Biden had helped for a breakthrough in cease
Speaker 2: fire talks before Ramadan, which began last night, but negotiations
Speaker 2: have stalled.
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, Israel has said that barring a total surrender
Speaker 1: by Hamas, it has to launch an assault on Rafa
Speaker 1: because it's the last Bashi of the around Back group began.
Speaker 1: More on Israel's likely response to President Biden's warning from
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Stewart living Stone Wallace.
Speaker 6: Nathan, he does have a long track record as largely
Speaker 6: ignoring US presidents when it doesn't suit him. And I
Speaker 6: think in this instance, what he's trying to balance up
Speaker 6: is the goal that he sets for the country after
Speaker 6: the events locked over the Servant, which was, we need
Speaker 6: to destroy the Hamas leadership. And the only conceivable way
Speaker 6: he can do that is to go into Raffa, because
Speaker 6: you know that's where many of them still are. If
Speaker 6: he doesn't go into Raffa, then you know, basically hasn't
Speaker 6: fulfilled the pledge that he made after the attack on Israel.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg, Stewart Livingstone Wallace said Hamas is believed to be
Speaker 1: holding about one hundred and thirty Israeli hostages. A Hamas
Speaker 1: official and an interview with Bloomberg claimed dozens have been
Speaker 1: killed by Israeli fire.
Speaker 2: Turning back home to the nation's capital, Karen. Later today,
Speaker 2: President Biden sends Congress his budget request for the next
Speaker 2: fiscal year. That's his lawmakers race to finish work on
Speaker 2: their remaining government funding bills for this year man avoid
Speaker 2: a shutdown at the end of next week. US Beinoriti
Speaker 2: leader Hakim Jeffries is putting pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson
Speaker 2: to act on ninety five billion dollars installed aids Ukraine, Israel,
Speaker 2: and Taiwan.
Speaker 7: The reason why it's not happening is because there's a
Speaker 7: pro potent faction in the Republican Party led by Donald
Speaker 7: Trump and Tucker Carlson, who are blocking this legislation, and
Speaker 7: that's shameful.
Speaker 2: Democratic Leader Hakim Jeffries was on CBS's Face the Nation
Speaker 2: Heard Sundays on Bloomberg Radio while he releases his budget,
Speaker 2: President Biden will be in Manchester, New Hampshire today to
Speaker 2: talk about lowering costs for families. It's part of a
Speaker 2: tour of battleground states this week following his State of
Speaker 2: the Union address.
Speaker 1: Well, turning to the economy now Nathan. This week, the
Speaker 1: bond market faces its own Super Tuesday of sorts the
Speaker 1: release of the Consumer Price Index. It's fresh inflation data
Speaker 1: that investors will use to predict when the Fed will
Speaker 1: start cutting interest rates. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summer says
Speaker 1: there is potential for surprises.
Speaker 8: Market used to be expecting six cuts in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 8: Now the markets expecting three cuts, and the Fed's carried
Speaker 8: that off skillfully. There hasn't been much disruption or dislocation
Speaker 8: as that change has taken place, but I think that's
Speaker 8: going to be there with us.
Speaker 1: And Larry Summers added that there's an increasing chance that
Speaker 1: policymakers don't end up lowering their benchmark rate this year.
Speaker 1: You can hear Summer's full comments on the Bloomberg Wall
Speaker 1: Street Week podcast, available on Apple, Spotify and anywhere else
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 2: Now the latest on the equity markets, Karen, Futures are
Speaker 2: lower as we begin a new trading week, but look
Speaker 2: at bitcoin. It is on the rise once again, topping
Speaker 2: seventy one thousand dollars for the first time. Checking Bitcoin
Speaker 2: right now, it's trading at seventy one thousand, two hundred.
Speaker 2: We're also seeing crypto stocks rise on the news. Coen
Speaker 2: based Global is up more than five percent in early trading.
Speaker 2: Micro Strategy is up more than seven percent.
Speaker 1: Well in company news, nathany social media platform or Reddit
Speaker 1: is closing in on one of the biggest initial public
Speaker 1: offerings so far this year. We get the details from
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Doug Krisner.
Speaker 10: It would be one of the biggest IPOs so far
Speaker 10: this year. We are told Reddit is planning to sell
Speaker 10: twenty two million shares. They would be priced between thirty
Speaker 10: one and thirty four dollars each. Earlier, Bloomberg reported Reddit
Speaker 10: was targeting evaluation of as much as six and a
Speaker 10: half billion dollars. We're also told Reddit is setting aside
Speaker 10: nearly one point eight million shares to be bought by
Speaker 10: users and moderators who created accounts before January first. Those
Speaker 10: shares would not be subject to a lock up period,
Speaker 10: and that means the owners can sell them on the
Speaker 10: first day of trading in New York. I'm Doug Prisoner,
Speaker 10: Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2: Okay, Doug, thank you.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: There could be a bad omen for Apple, and it's
Speaker 2: coming from Warren Buffett. More on that in this report
Speaker 2: from Bloomberg's John Tucker.
Speaker 11: And Nate Warren Buffett's Birshire Hathaway sold just over one
Speaker 11: percent of its holdings in Apple last quarter. When Berkshire
Speaker 11: last sold these stock between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty,
Speaker 11: that's selling persisted for several quarters. Apple stock has been
Speaker 11: hit hard by a drumbeat of negative news, including a
Speaker 11: two billion dollar anti trust fine, slumping sales in China,
Speaker 11: and the scrapping of a decade long car project. I
Speaker 11: spend ten billion dollars on that car project. Apple saw
Speaker 11: iPhone sales in China dropped twenty four percent of the
Speaker 11: first six weeks of this year and lost its title
Speaker 11: of China's best selling smartphonemaker. Analyst revenue outlook for this
Speaker 11: quarter and next is pretty grim. Berkshire Hathaway sold ten
Speaker 11: million apples heares equivalent to about one point six to
Speaker 11: nine billion dollars in the final quarter of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 11: Apple hasn't participated in this year's stock rally since at
Speaker 11: the start of the year. It's down eleven percent. John Tucker,
Speaker 11: Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 1: All right, John, thanks, so we'll we have another note
Speaker 1: on Apple this morning. The company is preparing to open
Speaker 1: its eighth store in Shanghai this month. The move adds
Speaker 1: to its largest retail network after the United States. At
Speaker 1: a time, iPhone sales and are slowing.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 2: If you think you missed out on the massive rally
Speaker 2: in the so called Magnificent seven stocks, there may still
Speaker 2: be time. Strategists did JP Morgan Chase say those stocks,
Speaker 2: which include Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon, are cheaper compared to
Speaker 2: the rest of the equity market than they were five
Speaker 2: years ago. Given their latest set of earnings. JP Morgan
Speaker 2: says it still favors growth over value stocks.
Speaker 1: Now Nathan to news in the airline industry and more
Speaker 1: trouble for Boeing. Delta CEO says the airline now expects
Speaker 1: deliveries of its Boeing seven thirty seven Max ten aircraft
Speaker 1: could be pushed out to as late as twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Delta has orders for one hundred Max ten planes and
Speaker 1: options to purchase thirty more, and was expecting to receive
Speaker 1: them as soon as next year. The potential delay comes
Speaker 1: as Boeing faces more federal safety and criminal reviews after
Speaker 1: a series of incidents, including the blowout of a fuselage
Speaker 1: section during an Alaska Airline's flight in January. And it's
Speaker 1: time now for a look at some of the other
Speaker 1: stories making news in New York and around the world.
Speaker 1: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr Michael,
Speaker 1: Good Morning, Good Morning.

Speaker 12: Academy Awards. Christopher Nolan also took home Best Director honors
Speaker 12: for Oppenheimer.
Speaker 13: Movies are just a little bit over one hundred years old.
Speaker 13: I mean, imagine being there one hundred years into painting
Speaker 13: or theater. We don't know where this incredible journey is
Speaker 13: going from here, but to know that you think that
Speaker 13: I'm a meaningful part of it means the world to me.
Speaker 12: The most closely watched contest of the Academy Awards, aired
Speaker 12: on ABC, went to Emma Stone, who won Best Actress
Speaker 12: for her performance as Bella Baxter in Poor Things. It's
Speaker 12: about a team that came together to make something greater
Speaker 12: than the sum of its parts, and.
Speaker 2: That is the best part about making movies.
Speaker 12: Killian Murphy also won his first Oscar named Best Actor.
Speaker 12: Robert Downey Junior won Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards,
Speaker 12: notching his first Oscar. Divine Joy Randolph took home Best
Speaker 12: Supporting Actress Hunters for her role in The Holdovers. Meanwhile,

Speaker 12: Academy Awards. It slows the celebrities arrival at the Red carpet.
Speaker 12: Threats to the US pos by China, Russia, Iran, North
Speaker 12: Korea will be in the spotlight. Later today at a
Speaker 12: Senate hearing, the Intelligence Committee will hear from the heads

Speaker 12: anticipation of the water level continuing to swell. Yards are
Speaker 12: already submerged, especially those along the Basaic. One resident says
Speaker 12: FEMA raised her house to a second level seventeen years ago,
Speaker 12: so now she feels safe.
Speaker 1: They elevated me way above the base flood level, like
Speaker 1: a foot above.
Speaker 6: I'm self contained upstairs.
Speaker 9: It's wonderful.
Speaker 5: I fish you off the deck.
Speaker 6: I grilled my food, and I don't have to go

Speaker 1: For that we bring in John stash Hour. John, good morning,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Karen.
Speaker 4: To say the NIXT struggle to score would be quite
Speaker 4: the understatement. Only fifteen points in the first quarter. The
Speaker 4: second quarter was better. They scored sixteen. They finished with
Speaker 4: seventy three. If you had scored an NBA game this
Speaker 4: season at the Guard in Philadelphia, won an ugly one
Speaker 4: seventy nine seventy three. Nick shot only thirty three percent,
Speaker 4: had nineteen turnovers. Their coach is Tom Thibodeau.
Speaker 9: Thought our defense was good. I thought the rebounding was good. Enough,
Speaker 9: you know, and then they made a couple shots at
Speaker 9: you know, late in the third start to fourth, but
Speaker 9: we fought, got back, they had a chance at the
Speaker 9: end and we had, you know, a couple turnovers that
Speaker 9: hurt us.
Speaker 12: There.
Speaker 4: The same two teams right back at the Garden tomorrow.
Speaker 4: The Knicks still sits fourth in the East, but just barely.
Speaker 4: They led to Orlando by a half game, won Indiana
Speaker 4: by a game and a half. In Miami by two.
Speaker 4: The Pacers beat the Magic the Heat We're upset, lost
Speaker 4: at home to the Wizards. Good win for the Nets
Speaker 4: one twenty to one. On one on Cleveland. Mckel Bridges

Speaker 4: He had twenty five rebounds, seven steals, five assists, and
Speaker 4: three blocks, and the Lakers win over Minnesota. Islanders stay
Speaker 4: hot one through six in a row, six to one.
Speaker 4: At Edmonton. NFL free agency kicks off Wednesday, there's word
Speaker 4: that Russell Wilson will sign a one year deal with
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steelers. They drafted Kenny Pickett in the first
Speaker 4: round two years ago. He seemed to regress in his
Speaker 4: second season. Another QB baker Mayfield staying with Tampa Bay.
Speaker 4: A year ago he signed with the Bucks for four million.
Speaker 4: This deal is for one hundred million over three years.
Speaker 4: Half of that guaranteed. The Patriots will reportedly trade QB
Speaker 4: mac Jones to the Jaguars. He's a Jacksonville, Nada. Scottie
Speaker 4: Scheffler shot sixty six, pulled away won the Palmer Golf
Speaker 4: at Bay Hill by five strokes. John Stasheward Bloomberg Sports
Speaker 4: Nathan Okay, John, Thanks, want to turn right back to
Speaker 4: the market. Gets you set for the trading week ahead,
Speaker 4: at a time when gold and bitcoiner trading at record highs,
Speaker 4: while futures are pulling back a bit as we wait
Speaker 4: key inflation data later on this week. Joining us now
Speaker 4: is Dennis Gartman, the chairman of the University of Akron
Speaker 4: Indowment Investment Committee and the former publisher of the Gartment Letter.
Speaker 4: It's a pretty interesting time in the market here, Dennis,
Speaker 4: with some of these inflation headges trading at all time highs.
Speaker 4: We saw that big swing and Invidia stock to end
Speaker 4: the week. How do you read that swing to the
Speaker 4: downside now for Nvidia, I.
Speaker 5: Pay attention to the charts. Fundamentally, you want to understand
Speaker 5: why something is working. Then you want to understand why
Speaker 5: the technicals are how the technicals are functioning. And one
Speaker 5: of the most important technical circumstances that can prevail is
Speaker 5: what's known as a reversal day. When you make a
Speaker 5: new high trade to new highs on volume and then
Speaker 5: break below the previous days low and close below the
Speaker 5: previous days low. When you have an outside reversal day,
Speaker 5: that's important, and outside reversal week is even more important.
Speaker 5: But you had an outside reversal day after just euphoria
Speaker 5: in Nvidia on Friday, and I think that that can
Speaker 5: mark a very important top in that stock. It's the
Speaker 5: first time I've talked about that for a while, but
Speaker 5: we had an outside reversal day in Nvidia, and you
Speaker 5: had weakness across the board and most of the other
Speaker 5: high tech stocks on Friday following what happened to Nvidia.
Speaker 5: So I think you have to pay attention to the
Speaker 5: fact that so many people had bought into that stock
Speaker 5: in the course of the past two or three or
Speaker 5: four weeks and now find themselves trapped in a rather
Speaker 5: uncomfortable positions. So I think Friday was an important technical
Speaker 5: circumstance for Nvidia and for the stock market generally.
Speaker 2: Now on the other side of the coin, we did
Speaker 2: hear from a JP Morgan Chase strategist saying that the
Speaker 2: Magnificent seven stocks, which include Nvidia, could have more room
Speaker 2: to run, that they're cheaper compared to the rest of
Speaker 2: the market because of their latest set of earnings.
Speaker 12: What did that.
Speaker 5: Timeshelters whether that is a viable alternative or not a
Speaker 5: viable outlook or not. I think that that probably is
Speaker 5: a little misbegotten or shall prove to be misbegotten. And
Speaker 5: of course the next two or three weeks I pay
Speaker 5: attention to reversal days, and that was the first reversal
Speaker 5: we've seen in quite some period of time in Nvidia
Speaker 5: and and a high tech stock. So I think that
Speaker 5: that outlook will prove to be incorrect over time. Time
Speaker 5: shall tell.
Speaker 2: Now we have yet to see a reversal when it
Speaker 2: comes to not just gold but bitcoin. I mean, the
Speaker 2: move that we're seeing in the digital currency is just
Speaker 2: breathtaking right now. I know you've been skeptical of bitcoin
Speaker 2: in the past. What is your read on this now?
Speaker 5: I remain skeptical of bitcoin, but let's be blunt. I
Speaker 5: have been wrong. I'm too old to be involved in bitcoin.
Speaker 5: It's a young person's trade, to be blunt. I much
Speaker 5: prefer being an owner of gold as an inflation hedge,
Speaker 5: as a geopolitical risk hedge. And I congratulate those people
Speaker 5: who have listened to and followed, and played with and invested.
Speaker 5: I put the word invested in quotation marks concerning bitcoin.
Speaker 5: But congratulations to those people who have invested in bitcoin.
Speaker 5: They they have been proven correct. It's a generational circumstance
Speaker 5: rather than a fundamental circumstance. But I do understand why
Speaker 5: they have. It has risen because of scarcity values and
Speaker 5: the having, as they call it, will be taking place,
Speaker 5: I guess later this month or early next month, which
Speaker 5: slows the creation of bitcoin. And that's the that's the
Speaker 5: one fundamental that does make some sense. There is a finite,
Speaker 5: a very distinct, finite amount of bitcoin that can be created,
Speaker 5: and soon that that amount will be finalized. So unlike
Speaker 5: debt here in the United States, which can go on
Speaker 5: and grow exorbitantly and exponentially, the amount of bitcoin that
Speaker 5: will be created is a finite circumstance. I still will
Speaker 5: be skeptical of it, and congratulations to those people who
Speaker 5: have done the job and been involved, but I shall
Speaker 5: not be.
