Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.
Speaker 3: We are now just hours away from a strike that
Speaker 3: could do serious damage to the US economy. The United
Speaker 3: Autoworkers and Detroit's three top automakers have till midnight tonight
Speaker 3: to agree on new labor contracts. Union president Sean Fain
Speaker 3: says they're making progress with four General Motors and Stillantis,
Speaker 3: but are still far apart on key issues.
Speaker 4: From job security to ending tears, from cost to living
Speaker 4: allowance to wage increases. We do not yet have offers
Speaker 4: on the table that reflect a sacrifice and contributions are
Speaker 4: members have made to these companies.
Speaker 3: Speaking on a Facebook and YouTube live stream, the UAW,
Speaker 3: Sean Fain says if they don't reach a deal in time,
Speaker 3: the workers will begin to strike at targeted locations. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: Ford CEO Jim Farley spoke at a Mustang event at
Speaker 3: the Detroit Auto Show, saying he still thinks a deal
Speaker 3: can get done.
Speaker 5: Still optimistic that we'll get a deal, but there is
Speaker 5: a limit and because we have to protect for the
Speaker 5: future future investments and the profitability the company funds those.
Speaker 3: Ford CEO Jim Farley says the union hasn't made a
Speaker 3: serious counteroffer to any of his company's proposals.
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, we have another event that's impacting consumers this morning.
Speaker 6: A huge hack of casinos.
Speaker 2: Caesar's and MGM have been hacked by the same group
Speaker 2: within several weeks of each other. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has
Speaker 2: this story from San Francisco.
Speaker 7: Caesar's Entertainment is expected to disclose details of the hack
Speaker 7: of its system soon, but Bloomberg sources say it looks
Speaker 7: to be tens of millions of dollars. The group behind
Speaker 7: the attack and the one on the MGM are attributed
Speaker 7: to a group known as Scattered Spider or UNC three
Speaker 7: nine four four. The Caesars hack first hit an outside
Speaker 7: vendor before gaining access to the company's network. Members of
Speaker 7: the group are believed to be young adults, some as
Speaker 7: young as nineteen years of age, residing in the US
Speaker 7: and the UK. Hacking gangs typically asked to be paid
Speaker 7: in crypto. I'm at Baxter, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 3: And thanks turning the market. Shares of ARM begin trading
Speaker 3: later this morning on the Nasdaq. The chip designer, backed
Speaker 3: by SoftBank, price It's IPO at fifty one dollars per share,
Speaker 3: the top end of the range. Bloomberg's Julia Fioretti says
Speaker 3: ARM is valued head close to fifty five billion.
Speaker 8: It's still a hugely important deal for the IPO market globally.
Speaker 8: Almost a lot of people are looking at It is
Speaker 8: obviously a test also of the AI boom that we've seen,
Speaker 8: which has been powering this rally in the market. So
Speaker 8: a lot is riding on this offering.
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Julia Fioretti says the IPO is the world's biggest
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 2: Well Nathan tech tycoons gathered at a closed door Senate
Speaker 2: meeting to shape how artificial intelligence is regulated. The meeting
Speaker 2: was organized by Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer. It included
Speaker 2: CEOs of Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Elon Musk. The
Speaker 2: Tesla and X CEO talked with the reporters after the meeting.
Speaker 9: The reason that I've been so AI safety in advance
Speaker 9: of sort of anything terrible happening is that I think
Speaker 9: the consequences of AI going wrong are sphere, so we
Speaker 9: have to be proactive rather than reactive.
Speaker 3: I Meanwhile, Musk has agreed to try to settle claims
Speaker 3: by thousands of former Twitter employees who say they were
Speaker 3: cheated out of severance pay. That's according to a memo
Speaker 3: from a lawyer for the workers seen by Bloomberg News.
Speaker 3: The X, the company formerly known as Twitter, has been
Speaker 3: accused in multiple suits of numerous labor and workplace violations,
Speaker 3: including failing to pay severance to thousands who were fired
Speaker 3: late last year after Musk's forty four billion dollar acquisition.

Speaker 3: a big impact on the business.
Speaker 10: The changes are the most consequential changes to how City
Speaker 10: will be organized and run that we've made in almost
Speaker 10: twenty years, and What this move enables me to do
Speaker 10: is not only flatten the organization, but it also enables
Speaker 10: me to be much more directly involved in making sure
Speaker 10: that those businesses are performing.

Speaker 12: Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 14: Good morning.
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager, and we are counting down to a
Speaker 3: couple of key events that could have ripple effects for markets.
Speaker 3: Midnight tonight is when an auto workers strike could begin
Speaker 3: in Detroit, and at the opening bell this morning, British
Speaker 3: chip designer Armhold Holdings makes its US debut on the
Speaker 3: Nasdaq in Wall Street's biggest IPO of the year. Covering
Speaker 3: it all for US is Bloomberg's Critty Gupta and Critties
Speaker 3: with me now, Critty, good morning. Start with the strike deadline.
Speaker 3: We did hear from the United Autoworkers president last night
Speaker 3: and the CEO of Ford as well. Where do things
Speaker 3: stand in the negotiations.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's looking like it's going to be kind of
Speaker 16: that eleventh hour deadline or basically that you're going to say,
Speaker 16: because look, we are literally counting down less than twenty
Speaker 16: four hours before the contract that, by the way, is
Speaker 16: a multi year contract completely expires. We're not making much progress, Nathan,
Speaker 16: And that's really the concern for a lot of carmakers
Speaker 16: around the world actually, and not just in the States
Speaker 16: as well, because of course this is going to specifically
Speaker 16: impact the auto workers that are in Detroit. The Big
Speaker 16: three or four GM and Stalant is representing about one
Speaker 16: hundred and fifty thousand people. But ultimately, look what it
Speaker 16: does to the other car makers around the world. Mercedes
Speaker 16: Benz for example, being very very vocal about this, saying, look,
Speaker 16: this is going to have industry wide ramifications. And Nathan,
Speaker 16: the logic here is very simple. If you don't have
Speaker 16: these union workers, if they are striking one hundred and
Speaker 16: fifty thousand, suddenly the price of labor for those who
Speaker 16: are not in the union goes up significantly, not just
Speaker 16: for the Big Three, but for all the car makers.
Speaker 16: And that's going to ultimately feed into consumer prices. And
Speaker 16: that's a thing at a time when a lot of
Speaker 16: carmakers are really having a hard time selling their cars.
Speaker 3: Now we've talked about the potential damage that this could
Speaker 3: do to the US economy, the idea that Michigan could
Speaker 3: even enter a recession if this strike lasts for just
Speaker 3: a few days. Are we seeing any give from either
Speaker 3: the union or the automakers on their offers.
Speaker 6: We saw a little bit of give from the union.
Speaker 16: They did lower their pay demand from about forty percent,
Speaker 16: but it's going from about forty six percent to about
Speaker 16: thirty six percent when you kind of compound it for
Speaker 16: a lot of the other benefits that they have. But
Speaker 16: keep this in mind, at the end of the day,
Speaker 16: they are basically trying to use the same playbook that
Speaker 16: UPS had used. The problem is this is not UPS
Speaker 16: and Teamsters. It's a very different industry with a lot
Speaker 16: more workers available that UPS had. The ramifications are small
Speaker 16: or relative to UPS, but obviously still quite a big deal.
Speaker 6: So right now it.
Speaker 16: Looks like the union is kind of on the defensive.
Speaker 16: You aren't seeing a ton of give from the carmakers
Speaker 16: at the moment. For GMS, delants all united in that front.
Speaker 16: But look, anything can happen.
Speaker 3: Before the strike deadline. We're waiting for ARM Holding's debut
Speaker 3: on the Nasdaq. Looks like SoftBank, the company's owner is
Speaker 3: getting pretty much what it wanted from the IPO.
Speaker 16: Yeah, they're about to make a pretty penny out of
Speaker 16: this entire deal. But I got to say, we've really
Speaker 16: got to watch the valuations here because what's significant is
Speaker 16: that initially, when this IPO was first marketed, it was
Speaker 16: the expectation was about sixty to seventy billion dollars is
Speaker 16: what the IPO would be. That is coming down to
Speaker 16: about four point eighty seven billion. We'll call it five
Speaker 16: billion dollars to be generous here. The questioning around that valuation.
Speaker 16: The initial thought is, well, perhaps that means that the
Speaker 16: arm demand isn't as strong, even though now you are,
Speaker 16: of course seeing orders about ten times subscribed. According to
Speaker 16: Bloomberg reporting on the flip side, note that this is
Speaker 16: kind of what happens with IPOs when you look at
Speaker 16: the banking process here, it is very normal for bankers
Speaker 16: to underprice the IPO so that when it actually debuts
Speaker 16: the price skyrockets. The question is does it stay there
Speaker 16: at the end of the day. You've seen this with
Speaker 16: a lot of major tech IPOs Airbnb, door Dash among others,
Speaker 16: and ultimately when and so happening is in that process
Speaker 16: and a few months later, the stock ends up dropping
Speaker 16: pretty significantly. A lot of folks are saying, this is
Speaker 16: not like every other tech ipo, but there's there's the
Speaker 16: pattern for you and Nathan.
Speaker 3: In the time we have left, we got to talk
Speaker 3: about this hack that affected the casino industry. More than
Speaker 3: one company now apparently dealing with the same cyber attack
Speaker 3: from the same group.
Speaker 6: And a little bit of a scary one.
Speaker 16: Nathan that the name of the group behind both attacks
Speaker 16: is Scattered Spider, otherwise known as u NC three nine
Speaker 16: four four. According to the people, basically, it's a group
Speaker 16: of social engineers that are trying to gain access to
Speaker 16: fairly large corporate networks, and to your point, very successfully.
Speaker 16: Caesars Entertainment MGM resorts are just some to the point
Speaker 16: that Caesars Entertainment had to pay tens of millions of
Speaker 16: dollars to the hackers. MGN as well had to pay
Speaker 16: a pretty significant amount. Now, of course, this is something
Speaker 16: that we've been talking about. There have been worries about cybersecurity,
Speaker 16: not just for the casinos.
Speaker 6: In the States, but around the world.
Speaker 16: Remember, a lot of these casino makers have or casino
Speaker 16: sorry owners have massive presences in Macau among other places
Speaker 16: as well, and cybersecurity has been something that they and
Speaker 16: their Earnings calls have been spending a lot of money on.
Speaker 16: What's interesting here is that usually when you look at hackings,
Speaker 16: they're asking to be paid in cryptocurrency, specifically if it's ransom.
Speaker 16: Sometimes they'll use things like locking up computer files, they'll
Speaker 16: do asking for decryption keys. There's a lot of different
Speaker 16: ways this goes. This seems to be a very specific
Speaker 16: type of hack and of course putting a lot of
Speaker 16: the community on edge.
