Speaker 1: one of the most uncertain years that I can remember
Speaker 1: talking to people about. I mean in terms of the
Speaker 1: parameters of outcomes with respect to recession, not recession, inflation
Speaker 1: declining or even picking back up. I've never seen such dispersions.
Speaker 1: So to hear from the business leaders and the central

Speaker 1: at trading. How are these banks holding up in terms
Speaker 1: of market share after we had a little bit mixed
Speaker 1: results last week's versus expectations, we do expect strength and
Speaker 1: fixed dicom trading equities perhaps flatish and a sharp slide
Speaker 1: in banking fees. How are these banks doing versus their competitors?
Speaker 1: And then for Goldman Sachs, perhaps a little bit more strategic.
Speaker 1: What can we learn about their strategy. Morgan Stanley will
Speaker 1: get an update. We think it'll be tough for them
Speaker 1: to achieve their targets in a difficult market. Bloomberg Intelligence
Speaker 1: Senior analyst Ellison Williams says both Morgan Stanley and Goldman
Speaker 1: Sachs planned to report results around seven thirty am. Wall
Speaker 1: Street Time. Turning to geopolitics now, Karen, it looks like
Speaker 1: trade between the world's two largest economies is on track
Speaker 1: to break records. Let's get the latest from Bloomberg Steve Rappaport,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Steve, Good morning Nathan and Karen. Despite the
Speaker 1: tough rhetoric, trade between the US and China is strong.
Speaker 1: US government data indicates imports and exports last year will
Speaker 1: add up to an all time high or close to it.
Speaker 1: Beijing also appears optimistic, with figures pointing to record trade
Speaker 1: of around seven hundred sixty billion dollars in twenty two.
Speaker 1: The numbers are welcome news for investors amid heated talk
Speaker 1: of national security in Washington and concerns about the two
Speaker 1: economic superpowers decoupling, though the data isn't adjusted for inflation,
Speaker 1: meaning higher dollar amounts do not necessarily translate to more goods.
Speaker 1: Shipped Steve Rappaport, Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Steve, thank you.
Speaker 1: Trade with Beijing is sent to pick up China's economy
Speaker 1: is coming off a rather soft year. We're learning the
Speaker 1: economy grew at the second slowest pace since the nineties seventies.
Speaker 1: And Bloomberg Daybreak Asia anchor Brian Curtis has more from
Speaker 1: Hong Kong. China is facing a challenging recovery. GDP rose
Speaker 1: three percent, higher than the estimate of two point seven percent.
Speaker 1: In December, Industrial output rose one point three percent from
Speaker 1: a year ago, higher than forecast. Retail sales contracting one
Speaker 1: point eight percent versus a predicted fall of nine percent.
Speaker 1: Consumer confidences near record lows, and COVID infections continue to run.
Speaker 1: But the economy is reopening big time, and that puts
Speaker 1: this data very much in the rear view mirror in
Speaker 1: Hong Kong. Brian Curtis, Bloomberg daybreak. All right, Brian, thanks
Speaker 1: to one other day to point out of China this morning.
Speaker 1: For the first time in six decades, the population is shrinking.
Speaker 1: It's the latest milestone in a worsening demographic crisis for
Speaker 1: the world's second largest economy. The government said at the
Speaker 1: end of last year, China had one point four one
Speaker 1: billion people. That's eight hundred fifty thousand fewer than the
Speaker 1: year before. The number of births in China was the
Speaker 1: lowest since at least ninety Meantime, in Europe, Nathan inflation
Speaker 1: remains front and center. UK wages are rising at a
Speaker 1: nearly unprecedented pace. Sanfradge annual earnings excluding bonuses were six
Speaker 1: point four percent higher in the three months through November
Speaker 1: begin More from Bloomberry's Lizzie Burden in London. What we've
Speaker 1: learned this morning is that wage growth was the highest
Speaker 1: on record outside the pandemic period in the three months
Speaker 1: to November, even though the inactivity rate on the number
Speaker 1: of vacancies fell and the unemployment rate held study. So
Speaker 1: what this suggests is that the jobs markets too tight
Speaker 1: for comfort for the Bank of England. Bloomberry's Lizzie Burden says,
Speaker 1: the Bank of England is under increasing pressure to deliver
Speaker 1: a tenth consecutive interest rate increase next month. Back here
Speaker 1: in the US, here in the next chapter in the
Speaker 1: drama surrounding Elon Musk starts playing out today in San
Speaker 1: Francisco Federal Court. Ed Baxter has the story from our
Speaker 1: Bloomberg nine sixty newsroom in San Francisco. The issue was
Speaker 1: a number of tweets in eighteen saying that he had
Speaker 1: lined up the financing to pay for a seventy two
Speaker 1: billion dollar buy out of Tesla. He then followed up
Speaker 1: making its ount as if the transaction would be imminent.
Speaker 1: It fueled a stock rally, which abruptly ended a week
Speaker 1: later and culminated in a forty million dollar settlement with
Speaker 1: the sec The trial will make him explain his actions
Speaker 1: and intentions under oath. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak, thank you. In another corporate note this morning,
Speaker 1: Bloomberg News has learned that Emerson Electric is planning to
Speaker 1: reveal a takeover offer for National Instruments. The offer would
Speaker 1: value the maker of measurements systems at around seven billion dollars,
Speaker 1: and sources say Emerson is set to go public with

Speaker 1: had a few questions about it. The speaker, while heading
Speaker 1: to a GOP steering committee, also says he talked to
Speaker 1: the Long Island congressman about reportedly being pretending to be
Speaker 1: part of his chief of staff for McCarthy. McCarthy says
Speaker 1: he did not know about the staff's claims at the time.
Speaker 1: A special council is expected to begin its investigation this
Speaker 1: week and to classify documents found at President Biden's Delaware
Speaker 1: home and at a Washington office he used. The documents

Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager, as we get
Speaker 1: you set for a holiday shortened trading week with stocks
Speaker 1: on the back foot this morning signs that central banks
Speaker 1: could turn more hawkish and attention on bank earnings as well.
Speaker 1: Let's bring in Dennis Gartman, the chairman of the University
Speaker 1: of Akron Endowment Investment Committee and the former publisher of
Speaker 1: the Gartment Letter, to get his outlook for the weeks
Speaker 1: and months to come. Dennis, Good morning. Of course, we
Speaker 1: got the first couple of weeks of started with games
Speaker 1: for stocks. Now we have a bit of a pullback
Speaker 1: in the futures this morning. Is this just a breather
Speaker 1: or is this a sign of worse things to come?
Speaker 1: For the first time in almost a year, I actually
Speaker 1: turned from being overtly bearish. I turned barrish January fifth
Speaker 1: of last year, and beginning about a week and a
Speaker 1: half ago, I actually turned neutral to the market neutral
Speaker 1: to slightly bullish. Let's see what happens. But the fact
Speaker 1: that the market did not go down on the employment
Speaker 1: numbers that came up two weeks ago, to me was
Speaker 1: rather impressive. And I tend to follow technical circumstances UH
Speaker 1: early on and and I saw that the nasdak on
Speaker 1: on that day of the employment report had an outside
Speaker 1: reversal day, a new low and then a close higher
Speaker 1: on the day, which I've always sound to be very
Speaker 1: impressive and something to be to pay attention to. We
Speaker 1: we tended to to continue to trade quietly higher. H.
Speaker 1: As I said, I've turned from being overtly bearished to
Speaker 1: being neutral to even modestly bullish. Let's see what We'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. But the fact that we closed higher
Speaker 1: on on on Friday, which is archly typical, UH, that
Speaker 1: that tends to happen before holidays, and the day after
Speaker 1: holiday we tended to trade a tad lower. The market
Speaker 1: is very quietly lower this morning, and if I had
Speaker 1: to do anything today, I'd be a buyer rather than
Speaker 1: a seller. But not not manifestly so, not hugely so,
Speaker 1: just quietly. So what would it take to get you
Speaker 1: to be hugely a buyer in this market? Dennis uh More,
Speaker 1: More activity in the market, better volume coming in on
Speaker 1: the upside, the lesser volume coming in on the downside,
Speaker 1: which is not something that we've seen for a while.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see them the market trade better on
Speaker 1: bad news and and and not go down on bad news.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see the market trade well on on
Speaker 1: good news, which we have not seen happened too often
Speaker 1: in the past several months. So a number of technical circumstances,
Speaker 1: a number of fundamental circumstances, and then probably some acknowledging,
Speaker 1: acknowledgement from the Federal Reserve Bank that they're not going
Speaker 1: to be as as manifestly overtly tight as I thought
Speaker 1: that they would be, perhaps not taking the overnight said
Speaker 1: funds right beyond five h to think that the feder
Speaker 1: will be kind of will will turn to being overtly easier.
Speaker 1: That's that's months, if not a year, into the future.
Speaker 1: But let's just see if the market can can trade
Speaker 1: better on good volume trade and not go down on
Speaker 1: on high volume. That will be impressive to me. Another
Speaker 1: prominent bear in this market, Mike Wilson of Morgan Stanley,
Speaker 1: just came out with a note this morning saying that
Speaker 1: earnings could bring a draw down in stocks that most
Speaker 1: investors are unprepared for. Is there further earnings downside in
Speaker 1: this market? Do you think? I think? I think the
Speaker 1: average investor has now been from has now begun to
Speaker 1: believe that in earnings will be tear double uh, perhaps
Speaker 1: not terrible, but certainly less than optimistic, less than optimal.
Speaker 1: And that's I think a general consensus at this point.
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I I think that earnings will
Speaker 1: probably not surprise us on the downside, and may even
Speaker 1: surprise us quietly on the upside. Time shall tell. But
Speaker 1: the I think the market has digested, has has fully
Speaker 1: discounted overtly bad earnings going forward for the rest of
Speaker 1: the year. What does China's reopening and do for your
Speaker 1: investment outlook? How does that affect how things could go
Speaker 1: for the balance of the year. There's no question a
Speaker 1: stronger opening in China would be manifestly bullish for for
Speaker 1: equities across around the world, no question about that. We'll
Speaker 1: see if that actually does happen. Thus far, the news
Speaker 1: out of China is that the the opening has been
Speaker 1: faster than anticipated, better than anticipated. The problem that China
Speaker 1: has over the long term, however, is demographics are so
Speaker 1: awful for China. It's a country whose population is already
Speaker 1: beginning to decline that in the long run that's deleterious
Speaker 1: to a bullish uh an optimistic perspective as far as
Speaker 1: the global investment is concerned. So right now, you have
Speaker 1: in the short term, for the next five, six six months,
Speaker 1: a half a year, a year or so beneficial circumstances
Speaker 1: developing in China. But over the course of the next
Speaker 1: five years, ten years, China, I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be a demonstrably less important, far less serious investment opportunity.
Speaker 1: Demographics or something that do not turn around in the
Speaker 1: short term, they turn around over a long twenty year
Speaker 1: period of time, and China's demographics are deleterious for the
Speaker 1: long term. Only about thirty seconds left, Dennis. But if
Speaker 1: you're turning a neutral to bullish on stocks, does that
Speaker 1: mean you're turning neutral to bearish on gold. No. I
Speaker 1: think that the gold market continues to move from the
Speaker 1: lower left to the upper right. Then I think that
Speaker 1: the goal has has done well even when the news
Speaker 1: has been manifestly bearished. For commodities, and take a look
Speaker 1: at what's happened to wheat prices. They've gone down by half,
Speaker 1: corn prices have fallen by a third. A live stock
Speaker 1: prices are down, Shipping prices are down, Coude oil prices
Speaker 1: of move sideways, natural gas prices that move downy had
Speaker 1: gold continues to move from the lower left to the
Speaker 1: upper right. So I've continue to be bullish of the
Speaker 1: gold market, have been for a year and a half,
Speaker 1: and continue to be that way. This is Bloomberg day
