Five minutes later he tipped in another 176 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 12: on the power play, and four minutes after that he's 177 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 12: struck again. 178 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 5: Rangers seven. And here Trepp takes tank. 179 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 12: God, the Ragers lead it four day. 180 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, Gratus. 181 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 10: With a hat trick. He's the third period. 182 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 12: They were happy on WVPN. Rangers added ft ntter one 183 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 12: five to three, take the series four to two. They're 184 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 12: off to the Eastern Conference Finals. So the Rangers win 185 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 12: a series clinching game six on the row, and we'll 186 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 12: see if the Knicks can do likewise tonight at Indiana. 187 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 12: For the Knicks in zero to four on the season, 188 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 12: they've lost those four by an average of seventeen points. 189 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 12: Minnesota dismantled the Nuggets by forty five, so they'll play 190 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 12: games seven in Denver. Back in the NHL, Vancouver scored 191 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 12: final minute, beat Edmonton three to two, leads the series 192 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 12: three to two. At the US Open, last year's Anders, 193 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 12: Shopley shot an opening round sixty two. He did the 194 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 12: same thing yesterday at the PGA in Louisville. Shopley broke 195 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 12: the course record at Valhalla. He's got a three shot lead. 196 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 12: He's had twelve top ten finishes in majors, He's never 197 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 12: won one. Bloomberg Radio with Round two covered today. After 198 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 12: the US Markets closing, Philadelphia Mets blew two leads, including 199 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 12: another ninth inning blown saved by Edwin Diaz with the 200 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 12: Mets one, six, five and eleven, and the Yankees finished 201 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 12: a dominant sweep in Minnesota five enough, and the Twins 202 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 12: at a home run first at bat of the series opener. 203 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 12: They never scored again. The Yanks out scored them in 204 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 12: the series. Fourteen to one. Kitlin Clark struggling in the 205 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 12: WNBA only nine points. Indiana lost the Liberty by thirty six. 206 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 12: John Stashing of Bloomberg Sports. 207 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 10: Coast to Coast on Bloomberg Radio nationwide on Sirius XM, and. 208 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,359 Speaker 5: Around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the Bloomberg 209 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 5: Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 210 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 2: From the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers Studios. I'm John Tucker five 211 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: twelve on Wall Street. We're seeing some caution in risk 212 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: Marxists this morning after lackluster close on Wall Street. Let's 213 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 2: get you set up for the trading day you hit 214 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: now with our first guests, Ben Laidler, global market strategist 215 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: for e Turo. Nice to talk to you, Ben, Thanks 216 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: for being with us. Let me get your impression first 217 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: of the Dow crossing over forty thousand yesterday. Just another number, 218 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: but new all time highs. 219 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 6: Typically forgets new all time highs, and the Dow's sitting 220 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 6: on one. We've had twenty three from the S and 221 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 6: P five hundred this year. Similarly, you know nansdak's all 222 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 6: three major US indices at all time highs. Price momentum 223 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 6: is the most powerful factor in markets, and I think 224 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 6: this is very fundamentally supported. We have an earnings recovery, 225 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 6: and we have interest rate cuts still on the horizon, 226 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 6: so I think it's all pretty positive. 227 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, at this point, is it momentum that's in the 228 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: driver's seat or the combination of everything that you just 229 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: mentioned there. 230 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's the combination. I mean, fundamentals obviously lead, 231 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 6: and we've just come off a very good first quarter 232 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 6: earning season. We had to have Nvidia next week, which 233 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 6: is the sort of last hurrah, but so far it's 234 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 6: been very strong, and the fact kept the door open 235 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 6: to interest rate cuts. You know, those are the fundamentals, 236 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 6: but I also think, you know, the technicals are important. 237 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 6: New all time highs typically leads to new all time highs. 238 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 6: There's a lot of cash citty on the sidelines, and 239 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 6: we saw what that meant with the last recent sort 240 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 6: of pullback, which we've rebounded pretty strongly from, because I 241 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 6: think some of that cash, you know, saw that as 242 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 6: an opportunity and came off the sidelines. So I think 243 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 6: it's the fundamentals lead, but the technicals are also important. 244 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: Is it a time to be fully invested in risk assets? 245 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 10: I think so. 246 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 6: I think this is the early innings of a ball market. 247 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 6: I think those twin pillars of earnings and interest rate 248 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 6: cuts are in place. I guess, you know. The caveat 249 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 6: is that we've basically made an annual return in five 250 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 6: months given them. We're up about eleven percent for the 251 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 6: S and P five hundred this year, so you know, 252 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: everything in moderation. There will be pullbacks, there will be 253 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 6: volatility along the way, but I think the message of 254 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 6: the last month is that those dips will be bought 255 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 6: and that the fundamentals remain pretty strong. 256 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: Do you buy in from your respective into the US 257 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: exceptionalism story. 258 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 6: Yes and no. Yes in the sense that I think 259 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 6: you just look at the data and it's there, whether 260 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 6: it's the economy, whether it's the stock market. But I 261 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 6: do think what's interesting right now is the rally is 262 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 6: broadening out out of aside from big tech in the US, 263 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 6: into other sectors and especially globally. China's back in a 264 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 6: bull market. Even the UK, which is where I'm sitting, 265 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 6: which everyone likes to be depressed on, is having a 266 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 6: mini rally here. 267 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 10: And it's not just stocks. 268 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 6: Commodities are also having a sort of bit of a 269 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 6: stealth rally, and I think this is very very healthy. 270 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 6: We're less reliant on one sector which is doing very well, 271 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 6: but you know, makes it somewhat vulnerable to a stumble there. 272 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 6: And it's a reminder I think that the rest of 273 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 6: the world is in a slightly different place where growth 274 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 6: will reaccelerate, where interest rate cuts will come early. So, yes, 275 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 6: US exceptionalism is a fact. I think some of these 276 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 6: investments opportunities lie elsewhere at this point. 277 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some regulatory filings. They gave us insight what 278 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: high profile investors are doing with their money. Do you 279 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: find any value in that? 280 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 6: Yes, and no. I think it's a good, great source 281 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 6: of new ideas. And to your points, they are asked 282 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 6: to are broadening their views. I mean, if there's a generalization, 283 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 6: they're truing back on big tech and they're looking to 284 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 6: take a little bit more risk and a bit more diversification. 285 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 6: They're looking at small caps, they're looking at financials, they're 286 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 6: looking at China. But I guess the caveat a lot 287 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 6: of those managers haven't performed very well so far this year. 288 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 6: If I look at what retail investors have owned, they've 289 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 6: actually performed much better. Again, small picture in time, so 290 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 6: take it with a prince of salt. But I think 291 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 6: it's very interesting just to see what they're thinking and 292 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 6: what they're doing. And I guess it melts right now 293 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 6: with our views that people should be sort of broadening 294 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 6: out from big tech and looking at other parts of 295 00:15:59,320 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 6: the world. 296 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: You're listening to Bloomberg Daybreak today, your morning brief on 297 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: the story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 298 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 299 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 300 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: get your podcasts. 301 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 302 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 303 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine one in Washington, Bloomberg 304 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: one O six one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine sixty 305 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 2: in San Francisco. 306 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 307 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
