Speaker 1: thank you very much. Six twenty Wall Street were lying
Speaker 1: for the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 1: As Michael just mentioned, the Ukrainian President, FLADOMR. Zolinski is
Speaker 1: going to deliver a virtual address to the Congress today,
Speaker 1: caring that speech live starting at nine a in Wall
Speaker 1: Street time. And ahead of that, we did get these
Speaker 1: headlines the Kremlin saying that a neutral Ukraine with its
Speaker 1: own army is a possible compromise option. The Kremlin also
Speaker 1: discussing Austria, Sweden neutrality model for Ukraine. Let's break all
Speaker 1: this down with Bloomberg Washington correspondent for radio and TV
Speaker 1: and Marie hord durn Amory. Good to talk to you,
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us. Sounds a little more optimistic,
Speaker 1: but then again you have to consider the source. This
Speaker 1: is coming from the Kremlin, Yes, exactly, and good morning, John,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. So first consider the source. We
Speaker 1: should know that the Kremlin has for weeks leading up
Speaker 1: to the invasion said Russia had no intentions of invading,
Speaker 1: and of course we know that is not true. There's
Speaker 1: a war in Ukraine, but there have been diplomatic talks.
Speaker 1: There's another round of diplomatic talks today. And ahead of that,
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that the Kremlin is even discussing
Speaker 1: this model, this neutrality model, taking after what Austria has done,
Speaker 1: what Sweden has done. At the same time, letting Ukraine
Speaker 1: have its own army is moving in the right direction.
Speaker 1: Of the diplomacy front, and just so you have an
Speaker 1: idea of what a neutrality model looks like. Austria did
Speaker 1: this in the nineteen fifties and basically they put in
Speaker 1: their constitution that they will remain neutral, they will not
Speaker 1: try to go enter into any sort of alliances. I e.
Speaker 1: This would be a big deal because potentially this means
Speaker 1: Ukraine could not join NATO, but also they would not
Speaker 1: have any foreign military bases on their soil. And as
Speaker 1: those negotiations take place their schedule today between Ukraine and
Speaker 1: Russian officials. If I remember also that the the officials
Speaker 1: who are doing the negotiations negotiations for the Kremlin, they're
Speaker 1: not high level individuals, are they. No, they do report back,
Speaker 1: but you make a good point that a lot of
Speaker 1: reporting is out there. The fact that President Vladimir Putin
Speaker 1: has maintained a very very small circle of individuals around
Speaker 1: him from the FSB, which is the former KGB in Russia,
Speaker 1: the security apparatus. Uh So it depends how much these
Speaker 1: individuals that are negotiating with Ukrainians are actually connected to
Speaker 1: that inner circle. It's a very good point in a
Speaker 1: nuance that we should keep an eye on and Zelinski
Speaker 1: has said that the well, what does he have said
Speaker 1: about the positions that Russia has has made. Well, for
Speaker 1: the first part, the simple one is that they want
Speaker 1: Russia immediately to withdraw the troops. And they will say
Speaker 1: that Russia talks about peace, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: what is happening in terms of action on the ground
Speaker 1: has not stopped, in terms of bombardment and missiles of cities,
Speaker 1: including a number of places where there are lots of
Speaker 1: civilians that are attempting and trying to evacuate. So for
Speaker 1: the first part, they want their words and rhetoric to
Speaker 1: match actions on the ground. Okay, the speech today, the
Speaker 1: virtual speech to the Congress, it's kind of hearkened back
Speaker 1: to I gotta imagine Winston Churchill, he was the last
Speaker 1: wartime leader I believe, to address a Congress and uh,
Speaker 1: he's in good company. What's what's he going to send
Speaker 1: to the Congress? Well, based off what he said to
Speaker 1: European leaders. As you mentioned, Winston Churchill, he has spoken
Speaker 1: to British Parliament, most recently to Canadian lawmakers. He really
Speaker 1: makes these impassioned, emotional speeches and one of those actually
Speaker 1: his translator choked up because it was so emotional. But
Speaker 1: he will use this moment to try to implore Congress
Speaker 1: to push the administration to what he would say, close
Speaker 1: the skies. Now, many in Congress and the administration agree
Speaker 1: that there could be a no fly zone. The President
Speaker 1: has said last week that basically means world War three
Speaker 1: because you would have US jets potentially striking down Russian jets.
Speaker 1: But potentially Presidents Volodamir Zelensky could push Congress, especially Republicans,
Speaker 1: to put pressure on the administration to at least get
Speaker 1: Poland to transfer fighter jets over the Ukrainian border. P
Speaker 1: emrie Um, before you go, how does this play in
Speaker 1: the mid term elections, It's a great question. I think
Speaker 1: that's twofold one. Most Americans, if you look at the polls,
Speaker 1: agree that what the administration is doing, that they should
Speaker 1: be putting harsh sanctions on President Putin for what is
Speaker 1: going on in Ukraine. But the second part of that
Speaker 1: is that there are economic consequences to what is happening
Speaker 1: back home. Russia is a massive commodity producer mostly UH.
Speaker 1: The one that would affect America the most is obviously oil.
Speaker 1: They're the third biggest UH producer's second biggest exporter. That
Speaker 1: means higher gasolene prices. This administration has been struggling with
Speaker 1: inflation already and that will only make it worse. Always
Speaker 1: good to talk to you, Bloomberg Washington correspondent for radio
Speaker 1: and TV and Marie or Duran and we're gonna counter
Speaker 1: that speech by President Zelinsky that should be round nine
Speaker 1: o'clock both on radio and television. Just a reminder those
Speaker 1: headlines that we got the kram one saying in neutral
Speaker 1: Ukraine with its own army possible and uh so a
Speaker 1: little more optimistic as far as markets and some pep
Speaker 1: jus right now up one point. This is Bloomberg day Break,

Speaker 1: forth and the destruction that comes with it, and one
Speaker 1: has to ask themselves after a while, why do we
Speaker 1: keep doing it? Why are we doing this? The bill
Speaker 1: still needs approval from the House. South Korea's military says
Speaker 1: a North Korean missile fired from its capital region exploded
Speaker 1: in mid air and an apparent failed launch. Today's launch

Speaker 1: two new infielders, and how a free agent signing a
Speaker 1: re sunning the first base been Anthony Rizzo two years,
Speaker 1: thirty two million. He can opt out after one. Rizzo,
Speaker 1: a cancer survivor, had not gotten the vaccine at least
Speaker 1: last year, and Aaron Judge was asked, if he's vaccinated.
Speaker 1: That's a yes or no question. I'm still focused on
Speaker 1: the first game spring training, so I think we'll we'll
Speaker 1: cross that parage whenever you know the time come. But
Speaker 1: right now, so many things could change, so I'm not
Speaker 1: really too worried about that right now. Apparently the Kyrie
Speaker 1: Irving rule will fly to met and Yankee players of
Speaker 1: someone like Judge or Rizzo is unvaxed that can't play
Speaker 1: home games or games in Toronto. It's making of Kyrie
Speaker 1: a road game in Orlando. So he played, and he
Speaker 1: was amazing. A twenty five point second quarter, a forty
Speaker 1: one point first half of career high and nets record
Speaker 1: sixty points, and Irving got taken out with eight and
Speaker 1: hap minutes left in the next route of the magic
Speaker 1: one fifty to one oh eight. If the Garden Rangers
Speaker 1: win four three over ain't ah Hi Adam Box won
Speaker 1: and overtime after Chris Pryor tied it. For this thirty
Speaker 1: ninth of the year. Delos lost in Vancouver Islanders a

Speaker 1: John Stesshow of bloom Bird Sports Johnny all Right, John, Thanks,
Speaker 1: coming up on five thirty eight on Wall Street, and
Speaker 1: it's toime out to take a look at stocks, some
Speaker 1: of the names that are moving in the pre market.
Speaker 1: For that, we're joined by Bloomberg Radio and TV Markets
Speaker 1: corresponding Pretty Gupta. Tomorrow is st Patrick's day, but pretty today,
Speaker 1: there's lots of green on the screen. Clever, very clever.
Speaker 1: That was good. That was a good one. And I
Speaker 1: didn't know where you were going with that, but a
Speaker 1: good one. Uh. I was like, what is he gonna
Speaker 1: ask me? Well? Ten stocks that are not in the green,
Speaker 1: and that's really significant here. You are seeing a fairly
Speaker 1: broad rally in the during the morning. To your point,
Speaker 1: let's talk about what isn't doing well. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of those defense stocks have had a pretty blockbuster rally
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. A lot of that,
Speaker 1: of course coming off of the situation in Ukraine, but
Speaker 1: also Germany really looking to spend more and more on
Speaker 1: their defense. The names like Lockeed Martin raytheon North of Gremman,
Speaker 1: they've all been some of your high flying stocks today
Speaker 1: though they are flying low. They are your laggards in
Speaker 1: this market. Locke Martin in particular l m T s
Speaker 1: your ticker down one point three percent. This comes after
Speaker 1: the Pentagon set is going to request sixty one thirty
Speaker 1: five and it's next budget that is thirty three fewer
Speaker 1: stealth jets than previously planned. Excuse me, according to people
Speaker 1: familiar with the spending blueprint, not great news, but it
Speaker 1: is dragging down some of those other defense stocks. So
Speaker 1: once again, north of Grumman, n o C is your
Speaker 1: ticker down nine tenths of one percent. Raytheon as well
Speaker 1: RTX as your taker, they're down four tenths of one percent.
Speaker 1: But go beyond that, and most of it is in
Speaker 1: the green, and a lot of it is actually concentrated
Speaker 1: in tech semiconductors, for example, having a pretty good rally
Speaker 1: this morning a m D for example, a m D
Speaker 1: is also the ticker as well as the name of
Speaker 1: the company, up two point seven per cent. You also
Speaker 1: have lives of Nvidio, that big tech heavyweight n v
Speaker 1: D as your ticker. They're up two point four percent,
Speaker 1: and Micron M you is your ticker. They're up four
Speaker 1: point four percent. They are also enjoying an upgrade to
Speaker 1: outperform over at Bernstein announcing nine dollar price target. Just
Speaker 1: like yesterday, that we're talking about a blood bath in China,
Speaker 1: that's no longer the case, right, And that's probably where
Speaker 1: a lot of that sentiment is coming from when it
Speaker 1: comes to those technology names. Remember a lot of these
Speaker 1: supply chains for Semis goes back into Asia, goes back
Speaker 1: into China in particular. Well, overnight we know that there
Speaker 1: has been that major sell off, a seventy six percent
Speaker 1: drop in those Chinese a d rs from peak to trough.
Speaker 1: You are actually seeing China take some active control, putting
Speaker 1: a little bit more liquidity into the system and creating
Speaker 1: a pretty large bounce back overnight in the Asian stock market.
Speaker 1: And that's really where you're seeing a lot of these moves.
Speaker 1: As well as the likes of Ali Baba j d
Speaker 1: H ten cent Billy Billy. Those are all up today,
Speaker 1: of course, contrasting to the pretty aggressive sell off we've
Speaker 1: seen in the last couple of weeks. Pretty always a pleasure,
Speaker 1: thank you. Bloomberg. Radio and TV markets corresponded pretty Gubta,
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us. And as we look at
Speaker 1: futures right now, don't better green on the screen, SMP
Speaker 1: five futures right now a d let's see fifty two

Speaker 1: down futures three hundred sixty one points, that's a one
Speaker 1: percent rise. And the nazac Emni futures they were up
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six points, a rise of one
Speaker 1: point eight percent in this morning's session. As far as
Speaker 1: Treasury is, the tenure two point one six percent of

Speaker 1: FISER has asked US regulators to approve a second coronavirus

Speaker 1: Fiser and its German partner by On Tech submitted data
Speaker 1: from Israel, which started giving a fourth shot to older
Speaker 1: people and healthcare workers last year. The CEO of Delta says,
Speaker 1: as far as the travel industry is concerned, the coronavirus
Speaker 1: crisis is effectively over. Speaking in London, and Bastion said
Speaker 1: that Delta had the two busiest days for sales and
Speaker 1: it's almost one hundred year history last week and this
Speaker 1: is nothing that sneeze about. A corning to a new
Speaker 1: study in the journal Nature Communications, Allergy season, weist start
Speaker 1: weeks earlier and the many days later, and it'll be
Speaker 1: worse while in Lass, with pollen levels that could as
Speaker 1: much as triple in some places. Climate scientists at the
Speaker 1: University of Michigan say it's because the climate change. They
Speaker 1: say warmer weather allows plans to start blooming earlier and
Speaker 1: keeps them blooming later. Meanwhile, additional carbon dioxide in the
Speaker 1: air from burning fuels such as cold gasoline and natural
Speaker 1: gas helps plants produce more pollen. And that's the Bloomberg
Speaker 1: and j I t Stem report. John, I can't wait,
Speaker 1: Thanks Karen. Just a few minutes ago, we got what
Speaker 1: seemed like some promising headlines out of the Kremlin discussing
Speaker 1: an Austria Sweden neutrality model for Ukraine. Also out of
Speaker 1: the Kremlin neutral Ukraine with its own army, possible compromise option.
Speaker 1: Let's get to dive a little deeper into these this morning.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Executive editor for International Government, Rosalind mathieson back with us.
Speaker 1: So where do we stand on negotiations rose between Russia
Speaker 1: and Ukraine? And what do we make of those headlines
Speaker 1: that we've just got. Well, certainly it seems like they
Speaker 1: are talking and they are actually putting a little bit
Speaker 1: of meat on the table about what some sort of
Speaker 1: compromise might look like. But obviously there are very big
Speaker 1: gulfs that remain in terms of what Ukraine might suggest
Speaker 1: or Russia would accept. Ukraine of course said it won't
Speaker 1: see it any territory. It still wants more weapons and
Speaker 1: support from NATO, it wants consideration to join the European Union,
Speaker 1: and somewhere and all of that, they seem to be
Speaker 1: hoping they can strike a deal with Russia that classes
Speaker 1: them as neutral. What Russia is saying is that they're
Speaker 1: looking at the idea of some sort of Swedish or
Speaker 1: Austrian style neutrality that would allow, of course Ukraine to
Speaker 1: retain its army. In the case of a Swedish model UM,
Speaker 1: it would allow it to also keep producing weapons. But
Speaker 1: how that would all work in practicality, It's it's very
Speaker 1: hard to see. Because Ukraine immediately came out and said, well,
Speaker 1: the only model that we would talk about would be
Speaker 1: when you'd call Ukrainian um obviously therefore fit to purpose
Speaker 1: just for us and not based on what another country
Speaker 1: has experienced. So it sounds like they're kind of talking
Speaker 1: themselves round in circles a little bit about what an
Speaker 1: agreeable model would look like, let alone, then the terms
Speaker 1: under which that might not just be put into place,
Speaker 1: but would then continue to hold for any short any
Speaker 1: period beyond a couple of days. And then there's Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1: I mean, the last I heard from him, he didn't
Speaker 1: sell all that optimistic. Well, that's right, just as yesterday
Speaker 1: he said that he didn't believe that Ukraine was negotiating
Speaker 1: in good faith. So if you can meet those comments
Speaker 1: and then less in a day later say that you're
Speaker 1: moving towards some kind of understanding, you really have to
Speaker 1: wonder whether they are really that close to an agreement.
Speaker 1: Certainly Ukraine has been pushing at the very least for
Speaker 1: a ceasefire that's broader in scope than what we've seen
Speaker 1: so far, perhaps something that's nationwide and for a couple
Speaker 1: of days to allow some further safe passage of people.
Speaker 1: But getting a ceasefire is one thing, Getting a peace
Speaker 1: still is another. Entirely, and certainly a piece still wouldn't
Speaker 1: come to fruition unless the Russian president itself signed off
Speaker 1: on it and talks are taking place today. Where are
Speaker 1: we stand on there? Well, that's right, these officials have
Speaker 1: been meeting. They've they've actually started meeting by video conference
Speaker 1: instead of being in Paris, and it was taking too
Speaker 1: long to trek to a neutral part of the border
Speaker 1: to do so, so they've started to do these calls
Speaker 1: every day via video conference. But they're still at sort
Speaker 1: of a semi low level for officials. UM, these are
Speaker 1: not senior ministers who we are meeting. Obviously, they're carrying
Speaker 1: messages back through their capitals UM to hire people to discuss,
Speaker 1: but they can't strike a deal themselves. They have to
Speaker 1: sort of take those proposals back to senior officials to
Speaker 1: to consider and perhaps make some proposals. So what we're
Speaker 1: seeing today is probably like further message passing between those
Speaker 1: lower level officials on this Bloomberg is thank you the
Speaker 1: editor for International Government, Rosalind Matheson Rose, thanks very much.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. We're alying from the Bloomberg interact or
Speaker 1: Broker Studios. It is six fifty four Wall Street time
Speaker 1: to check what's going on in d C. Ukrainian President
Speaker 1: of Vladimer Zelenski set to deliver a virtual address to
Speaker 1: Congress today, and then President Biden he's going to travel
Speaker 1: to Europe for a NATO and European Union summits next week.
Speaker 1: And President Biden's picked the top of the US banking
Speaker 1: regulator running aground. And UH bring in right now from
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Washington headquarters. UH, Emily Wilkinson, Bloomberg Government reporter. Wilkins, Uh,
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Government reporter with the very latest. Let's start with
Speaker 1: the Zelenski delivering this virtual address to Congress. You're you're
Speaker 1: gonna be in the room too, write I will, yes,
Speaker 1: I'll be in the room. It's gonna be lawmakers, House
Speaker 1: and Senate, Republicans and Democrats. And this is a group
Speaker 1: of individuals who has a lot of support for Zelenski,
Speaker 1: who wants to do almost everything they can to be
Speaker 1: able to deliver on what he is going to ask for. Uh.
Speaker 1: We know we're from reporting from the New York Times
Speaker 1: that Ukrainian officials do plan to present the US with
Speaker 1: a list of milk her equipment they need, including armed
Speaker 1: drones and mobile air defense systems. But at this point
Speaker 1: Washington is not going to be able to give Zelenski
Speaker 1: everything he wants. UH. There's still concerns about setting up
Speaker 1: a no fly zone UM. And while there's a growing
Speaker 1: desire among lawmakers to find a way to get Ukraine
Speaker 1: that the mag twenty nine fighter jets, UH, it's an
Speaker 1: idea that the White House has continued to reject. And
Speaker 1: so it's going to be interesting to see the dynamics
Speaker 1: play out here between what Zelenski is asking of Congress,
Speaker 1: what Congress is willing to give, and sort of how
Speaker 1: that moves the Biden administration in terms of what kind
Speaker 1: of aid they're thinking about providing. We saw the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal report yesterday that the Biden administration is going
Speaker 1: to announce more than one billion dollars in new military assistance.
Speaker 1: We know that Biden is going to be speaking a
Speaker 1: little bit later this morning. But one thing to really
Speaker 1: note John is is that to a certain extent, Congress
Speaker 1: has been the lead here on getting Zelenski the aid
Speaker 1: that he has requesting for Ukraine. They were the first
Speaker 1: to move on the oil band, they were the first
Speaker 1: to move on normalizing aid relations, which they're still working on.
Speaker 1: For that second point, but definitely going to be keeping
Speaker 1: of a close close eye on what the ask is
Speaker 1: going to be and how much pressure lawmakers want to
Speaker 1: put on the White House to ensure their delivering it.
Speaker 1: They're real quick underscoring the importance of all is the
Speaker 1: president is traveling next week. Yeah, we'll be going to Brussels.
Speaker 1: He'll be attending a NATO and use summits. And this
Speaker 1: comes at a time, of course, the Biden's goal for
Speaker 1: the whole duration of this conflict has been to really
Speaker 1: move with his European allies to sort of have everyone
Speaker 1: present a very united front, and I think this trip
Speaker 1: is an extension of that goal for the Biden administration. Alright,
Speaker 1: how does this play with the mid term elections? Real quick, Emily.
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point it's it's a little too
Speaker 1: soon to tell, but we are seeing Biden's poll numbers rising.
Speaker 1: We know that a majority of Americans are fine with
Speaker 1: higher gas prices, if that means that they are supporting Ukraine.
Speaker 1: I was talking with a lawmaker yesterday who said that,
Speaker 1: you know, American people are are very much on board
Speaker 1: that there's stick to their stomachs with the images that
Speaker 1: they're seen, and lawmakers in Washington are really feeling that
Speaker 1: sentiment and only thanks a lot appreciate it. Bloomberg reporter
