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, Karen.
Speaker 2: We began the first trading day of the month of
Speaker 2: June with Memestocks on the move. Let's get the latest
Speaker 2: with Bloomberg's John Tucker, John.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nathan. GameStop shares rocketing higher this morning. This comes
Speaker 3: after the Reddit account that drove the meanstock Manium twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one posted what appeared to be a one hundred
Speaker 3: and sixteen million dollar position in the game retailer. A
Speaker 3: screen shot by Keith Gill shows five million cheers bought
Speaker 3: a twenty one twenty seven per share. The screen shot,
Speaker 3: which also included one hundred twenty thousand call options, couldn't
Speaker 3: be verified on social media, Gil, using his account handle
Speaker 3: Roaring Kitty, also posted an image of an Uno reverse cord,
Speaker 3: the post that attracted more than four and a half
Speaker 3: million views in about five hours. You'll recall that back
Speaker 3: in mid May, Gil returned to x with an image
Speaker 3: of a video game person leaning in, fueling anticipation is
Speaker 3: going to actively return to the market. Well other medium
Speaker 3: stocks they're also getting a boost and shares of Game Stop.
Speaker 3: We'll I'll start there. They are upright now sixty nine percent.
Speaker 3: Shares of AMC Entertainment they're up twenty six percent. I'm
Speaker 3: John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 1: Right, John, thank you. But we're also seeing in Nvidia
Speaker 1: shares on the move. They're up almost three percent. The
Speaker 1: company has plenty to upgrade its AI accelerator chips every
Speaker 1: year as it seeks to broaden its customer base beyond
Speaker 1: cloud computing giants. CEO Jensen Wong announced a new Blackwell
Speaker 1: Ulter chip for next year and the development of an
Speaker 1: AI platform called Rubin for twenty twenty six for future laptop.
Speaker 2: Your future PC will become an AI. You'll be constantly
Speaker 2: helping you, assisting.
Speaker 4: You in the background. The PC will also run applications
Speaker 4: that are enhanced by an.
Speaker 5: Your PC will.
Speaker 2: Also post applications with digital humans that are as.
Speaker 1: In Vidia CEO Jensen Wong was speaking at the Computex
Speaker 1: conference in Taiwan. He compared the rise of AI to
Speaker 1: the Industrial Revolution.
Speaker 2: And not to be outdone, Karen Advanced micro Devices is
Speaker 2: speeding up introductions of new artificial intelligence processors as it
Speaker 2: seeks to dent in Vidia's domination of that lucrative market.
Speaker 2: AMD's CEO Lisa Sue was also at the Computex conference
Speaker 2: in Taiwan. She says the MII three twenty five X
Speaker 2: will go on sale in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: Nathan Stocks in India search to our record after exit
Speaker 1: polls signaled an emphatic victory for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's
Speaker 1: ruling party. Winning by a landslide would enable Modi's party
Speaker 1: to push through policies that are seen as crucial by
Speaker 1: some investors for boosting India's economic growth, already among the
Speaker 1: world's fastest.
Speaker 2: And another important election we're looking at this morning. Karen
Speaker 2: is in South Africa. The ruling African National Congress has
Speaker 2: now begun talks with its rivals to form a government.
Speaker 2: The move comes after the party lost its parliamentary majority
Speaker 2: for the first time since Nelson Mandela led it to
Speaker 2: power at the end of apartheid in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2: And See leader Serril Ramaposa says the result is assigned.
Speaker 2: The South African people wanted more cooperation among major parties.
Speaker 6: What this election has made plain is that the people
Speaker 6: of South Africa expect their leaders to work together to
Speaker 6: meet their needs. They expect the parties for which they
Speaker 6: have voted to act and work together for the good
Speaker 6: of everyone.
Speaker 2: Ramaposa's ANC got a vote share of just over forty percent.
Speaker 2: That's down from more than fifty seven percent five years ago.
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan to the latest from the Middle East. Now,
Speaker 1: the White House is continuing to push what it says
Speaker 1: is an Israeli proposal to end the war with Hamas.
Speaker 1: National Security spokesman John Kirby discussed it on ABC's This Week.
Speaker 7: Where we are right now? Is that propose? An Israeli
Speaker 7: proposal has been given to Hamas. It was done on
Speaker 7: Thursday night our time. We're waiting for an official response
Speaker 7: from Hamas. We would note that publicly Hamas officials came
Speaker 7: out and welcomed this proposal. So what would we hope
Speaker 7: happen is they would agree to start Phase one as
Speaker 7: soon as possible.
Speaker 1: Why how Spokesman John Kirby says that Phase one would
Speaker 1: be a six week truce where hostages and prisoners would
Speaker 1: be exchanged, followed by a second phase focused on a
Speaker 1: permanent ceasefire, then major reconstruction in Gaza. But is really
Speaker 1: prime Minister Benjamin et Yaho says the plan he's agreed
Speaker 1: to does not include a permanent ceasefire. In a statement,
Speaker 1: he says that would be a non starters. Samasa's capabilities
Speaker 1: are destroyed in all hostages are freed first.
Speaker 2: In other political news, Karen Donald Trump's legal team is
Speaker 2: now confirming it is readying an appeal to his recent
Speaker 2: convictions in the hush money trial. We get that story
Speaker 2: from Bloomberg's Ed Baxter.
Speaker 8: Trump attorney Will Sharp says it deals with judicial fairness.
Speaker 9: We're going to speedily appeal this unjust verdict. I think
Speaker 9: this case is replete with reversible error. We plan to
Speaker 9: vigorously defend President Trump's rights in the appellate courts all
Speaker 9: the way up to the US Supreme Court if necessary.
Speaker 8: On ABC has heard on Bloomberg saying problems with jury
Speaker 8: instruction and denial of change of venue. Congressman Adam Schiff,
Speaker 8: co chair of the January sixth Committee, says the reaction
Speaker 8: to venue is simple.
Speaker 2: If you don't want to be tried in front of
Speaker 2: a New York jera, then maybe don't commit so many
Speaker 2: crimes in New York City.
Speaker 8: Shiff says he sees no grounds for appeal, does say
Speaker 8: the whole process will definitely take beyond election day. Head
Speaker 8: Baxter Bloomberg Radio, All.
Speaker 2: Right, ed, thank you well.
Speaker 1: As survey by Bloomberg shows that investors are worried about
Speaker 1: the Federal reserves independence if Donald Trump is re elected
Speaker 1: as president in November. Forty four percent of those responding
Speaker 1: to Our Market's Live Paul survey said they expect the
Speaker 1: former president to politicize the Central Bank or limit its
Speaker 1: power if he returns to the White House. They also
Speaker 1: expect volatility in the bond market in the event of
Speaker 1: a Trump victory, with around a quarter seeing the ten
Speaker 1: year treasure Yell jumping by more than twenty five basis points.
Speaker 2: And speaking of the Fed, Karen, we're getting more signals
Speaker 2: that the Central Bank is going to stand pat for
Speaker 2: a while. Minneapolis Fed President Neil Cashcari tells The Financial
Speaker 2: Times the Fed will likely keep interest rates on hold
Speaker 2: for an extended period of time. He says new economic
Speaker 2: data will need to convince policymakers that inflation is on
Speaker 2: the way down.
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, we have some deal news to get you
Speaker 1: caught up on this morning. Bloomberg News has learned film
Speaker 1: producer David Ellison's latest offer for Paramount Global includes an
Speaker 1: option for non voting shareholders to cash out a portion
Speaker 1: of their stock for about fifteen dollars a share. The offer,
Speaker 1: roughly twenty six percent premium to Friday's closing price, is
Speaker 1: for only some of the shares. The cash payout is
Speaker 1: the latest attempt by Ellison to sweeten the terms of
Speaker 1: a deal that has faced opposition from some investors. Shares
Speaker 1: a Paramount up around four percent.
Speaker 2: This morning, and another stock on the move this morning
Speaker 2: is Stereocycle Karen. Those shares are up about four and
Speaker 2: a half percent. The Wall Street journals reporting the Waste
Speaker 2: Management is close to a deal to buy that medical
Speaker 2: waste disposal company.
Speaker 1: And it's time now for a look at some of
Speaker 1: the other stories making news in New York and around
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 2: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr. Michael,
Speaker 2: Good Morning, Good morning, Karen.
Speaker 5: Mexico's projected election winner, Claudia Shanebaum, will become the first
Speaker 5: woman president in the country's two hundred year history, making
Speaker 5: The climate scientist and former Mexico City mayor said last
Speaker 5: night that her two competitors had called her and conceded
Speaker 5: her victory. Shane Baum had between fifty eight and almost
Speaker 5: sixty one percent of the vote. For the first time ever,
Speaker 5: Mexican nationals living in the Chicago area were allowed to
Speaker 5: cast their vote at the Consulate General in the city.
Speaker 5: Hundreds lined up all day waiting for hours to cast
Speaker 5: their ballot, including this woman.
Speaker 1: For me, It's the most important election of my lifetime.
Speaker 5: Shane Baum said that the voting had been peaceful, but
Speaker 5: Mexico's largest ever elections were also the deadliest in its
Speaker 5: modern history for the tax carried out against candidates and
Speaker 5: people close to them. Jerry's election is set to begin today,
Speaker 5: and the federal gun case against President Joe Biden's son,
Speaker 5: after a deal with prosecutors fell apart. They would have
Speaker 5: avoided the spectacle of a trial so close to the
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four election. Hunter Biden has been charged with
Speaker 5: lying on federal gun purchase forms when he said he
Speaker 5: wasn't a drug addict. He has pleaded not guilty. Hunter
Speaker 5: Biden is also facing a separate trial in California in
Speaker 5: September on charges of failing to pay one point four
Speaker 5: million dollars in taxes more than sixty US World War
Speaker 5: II veterans arrived in Paris over the weekend to participate
Speaker 5: in ceremonies marking the eightieth anniversary of D Day. The
Speaker 5: youngest World War Two veteran on the American Airlines flight
Speaker 5: from Dallas to Paris was ninety six, the oldest one
Speaker 5: hundred and seven. The group was welcomed by Philippe and Tienne,
Speaker 5: president of Mission Liberation, a former French ambassador to the US.
Speaker 4: Your presence here in France symbolizes not only the spirit
Speaker 4: of fraternity and solidarity that prevailed during those dark years,
Speaker 4: but also the unbreakable alliance between our two nations.
Speaker 5: The former French ambassador also says there were also two
Speaker 5: Rosy the Riveters among the veterans, representing women who worked
Speaker 5: in factories and shipyards during the war. Global News twenty

Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning on Nathan Hager. As
Speaker 2: we head into a new trading month, the market is
Speaker 2: feeling a bit like twenty twenty one. This morning, meme
Speaker 2: names are seeing the biggest moves after the investing influencer
Speaker 2: known as Roaring Kitty posted but it looks like a
Speaker 2: big position in game Stop and other stocks that retail
Speaker 2: investors piled into three years ago are soaring off the
Speaker 2: back of it. For more on this, what else do
Speaker 2: you watch for? As we kick off the month of June,
Speaker 2: we were pleased to be joined by Dennis Gartman, the
Speaker 2: chairman of the University of Akron Endowment Investment Committee and
Speaker 2: the former publisher of the Gartman Letter. Dennis, Good morning.
Speaker 2: Is it twenty twenty one all over again?
Speaker 10: Good morning Nathan, And yes, it seems it's twenty twenty
Speaker 10: one all over again with the Roaring Kitty back on
Speaker 10: the front pages. I find it a little disconcerting to
Speaker 10: think that once again he's back. Once again. The means
Speaker 10: trading is back to the forefront. That's always to me
Speaker 10: indicative of a market that's making a top, not the
Speaker 10: market that's making a bottom. The fact that when the
Speaker 10: public comes in aggressively, and trades means stocks trades, spacks, trades,
Speaker 10: single day options, trades, over the counterstocks trades less than
Speaker 10: dollar stocks at the high rate. That's always disconcerting to me,
Speaker 10: and I think it should be disconcerting to everybody else.
Speaker 10: But this is twenty twenty one again, and here we
Speaker 10: are one more time.
Speaker 2: Is that the biggest indicator for you that we could
Speaker 2: be seeing a top to this market? Or are there
Speaker 2: other things that you're looking at that signal that for you?
Speaker 10: Fundamentals dictate where the market goes over broad terms, Technicals
Speaker 10: dictate where the market goes over short term terms. And
Speaker 10: to me, one of the most important circumstances that we
Speaker 10: saw technically was two weeks ago we had an outside
Speaker 10: reversal day in the S and P and the NASDAC.
Speaker 10: That's when you go to a new of all time
Speaker 10: high trade lower on the day trade below the previous
Speaker 10: day is low, and do it on large volume. We
Speaker 10: had outside reversal days, and those are usually not always,
Speaker 10: but usually indicative of market tops. To me, that was important.
Speaker 10: That was an important circumstance to pay attention to. So
Speaker 10: I think that's still driving things. What bothers me about
Speaker 10: the stock market is that on rallies, volume is declining.
Speaker 10: On declines, volume is advancing, and that too is very so.
Speaker 10: The technical seem to be getting sloppy at best at
Speaker 10: this point, and I think being I'm actually on the
Speaker 10: lines for the first time in a long period of
Speaker 10: time and comfortable being there. I'm on the sidelines in gold,
Speaker 10: I'm on the sidelines and bonds. I'm on the sidelines
Speaker 10: in stocks because I find things very disconcerting, very confusing,
Speaker 10: and the sideline seems to me to be the safest
Speaker 10: harbor at this point. Sidelines being cash and less than
Speaker 10: two year notes.
Speaker 2: How long do you think you're going to stay on
Speaker 2: the sidelines tennis?
Speaker 10: Until I come off the sidelines. That's the best answer
Speaker 10: I can That's the best answer I can give you
Speaker 10: at this point. I probably I tried being modestly, very
Speaker 10: marginally short beginning two weeks ago and got stopped out
Speaker 10: on Friday, which and I took a very small profit.
Speaker 10: I may be on the sidelines for a protracted period
Speaker 10: of time, certainly through the summer and through the period
Speaker 10: of time before the Fed begins the process of easing
Speaker 10: monetary policy and taking the overnight FED funds rate lower.
Speaker 10: That's going to be until after the election this year,
Speaker 10: so I may be on the sidelines in prohibitive terms
Speaker 10: for a protracted period of time.
Speaker 2: After the election. That still leaves the possibility that the
Speaker 2: Fed could make a move lower before the year is out.
Speaker 2: Are you still keeping a December rate move on the table?
Speaker 10: I think it's if we have one, it'll be the
Speaker 10: the FMC meeting one day after the the the elections
Speaker 10: in early November. I think that's the possibility. Would would
Speaker 10: be that that would be the best time for them
Speaker 10: to make a move. But you have to remember a
Speaker 10: year ago, the consensus was that there'd be five to six,
Speaker 10: maybe even seven cuts in the overnight head funds rate,
Speaker 10: And in the to the bi weekly that I send
Speaker 10: to friends and former clients of newsletter, I maintained at
Speaker 10: that time that we have at most one, maybe two
Speaker 10: cuts in the overnight FED funds rate, which seemed to
Speaker 10: be almost laughable. And it's in its differentiation from the
Speaker 10: from the broadcast census. And I still think that we
Speaker 10: we at mostly will get one cut in the overnight
Speaker 10: SAD funds right, and I think that comes into November meeting,
Speaker 10: maybe maybe two but I have my doubts substantively. I
Speaker 10: think it'll be a protective period of time before the
Speaker 10: seed begins the process of taking the SAD funds right
Speaker 10: back towards three percent over the course the next several years.
