Speaker 1: stories we're following today. Let's get to the latest from Davos.
Speaker 1: It is day three of the World Economic Forum GIT
Speaker 1: to Gopinath, the International Monetary Funds number two official, is there.
Speaker 1: She tells us the global economy is showing signs of
Speaker 1: resilience and China is a key. We expect to see
Speaker 1: China's growth recover later this year, and also it has
Speaker 1: that has positive spiller was for the rest of the world.
Speaker 1: We've certainly seen more engagement between the U S and China.
Speaker 1: I think one important meeting was what happened at the
Speaker 1: Leader Summit in Bali in November between Prison Biden prison
Speaker 1: Ugene Pink. That was a positive assigned. The idea was
Speaker 1: to put the floor on their relationship. To Gopinath with
Speaker 1: the i m F made those comments in an interview
Speaker 1: with Bloomberg's Francine la Qua. Meantime, Nathan, we're watching for
Speaker 1: more signs of improvement in US China relations. Treasury Secretary
Speaker 1: Janet Yellen has held her first face to face meeting,
Speaker 1: which Chinese Vice Premier Leo ha and Zurich and Bloomberg
Speaker 1: Washington correspondent Joe Matthew has more. It's at the beginning
Speaker 1: of a trip that she is making to Africa, which
Speaker 1: is important. It's part of the strategy to try to
Speaker 1: find elements around the world that that that can align
Speaker 1: with the United States policy here and not China for
Speaker 1: that matter. They've met three times by video conference, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna be leaving his post when President she unveils
Speaker 1: his new government in March, so this could be a
Speaker 1: bit of a farewell conversation. Bloomberg's Joe Matthew reports that
Speaker 1: during today's meeting, Secretary Yellen said the US and China
Speaker 1: need to manage their differences and prevent competition from turning
Speaker 1: into conflict. Turning back to markets, now, Karen, we're seeing
Speaker 1: the yen get weaker this morning, trading at one twenty
Speaker 1: nine point four four against the dollar. The move comes
Speaker 1: after the Bank of Japan made no changes to its
Speaker 1: yield curve control program. Bloomberg Daybreak Asia anchor Brian Curtis
Speaker 1: has more. This was the b o J pushing back
Speaker 1: against market speculation of change. The b o J double
Speaker 1: down on its stimulus program, leading to huge swings in
Speaker 1: bond yields and the end the b o J made
Speaker 1: no key changes. That was more or less expected by economists,
Speaker 1: but traders were betting that the yield curve control policy
Speaker 1: would be altered or scrapped. The b o J said no,
Speaker 1: and in effect we're content to stay at odds with
Speaker 1: other central banks. Brian Curtis, Bloomberg debris greay, Brian, thank you.
Speaker 1: In the UK this morning, data show inflation coming in
Speaker 1: lower for the second month in a row. And let's
Speaker 1: go live to London and get the details of a
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's you win, pass you and good morning, Good morning,
Speaker 1: Karen and Nathan. Consumer prices in the UK rose ten
Speaker 1: point five percent in December from a year ago. That's
Speaker 1: the second time that inflation has eased from its peak
Speaker 1: above eleven percent back in October. But prices in Britain
Speaker 1: are still increasing at five times the official two percent targets,
Speaker 1: and that means another tough call for the Bank of
Speaker 1: England at they're meeting on February first in London. I'mu
Speaker 1: and pot Spoinberg debreak you and thank you. Interest rates
Speaker 1: are also in focus at the European Central Bank their
Speaker 1: speculation the e c B could slow its pace of hikes,
Speaker 1: but Governing Council member Francois v Roy de Gallo is
Speaker 1: pushing back at that idea. We caught up with him
Speaker 1: at the World Economic Forum. Let me remind you of
Speaker 1: the words of President Leaguard. It's her last press conference
Speaker 1: in December. We should expect to raise weights at the
Speaker 1: pace of fifty basis points for a period of time. Well,
Speaker 1: the words are still valid today, but again we are pragmatic.
Speaker 1: ECB Governing Council member Francois vi Roy de Gallo says
Speaker 1: it's too soon to talk about the size of an
Speaker 1: infrastrate hike in March. Well, back here in the US,
Speaker 1: Nathan investors are waiting for two key readings on the
Speaker 1: economy before the opening bell and Bloomberg's Michael McKee has
Speaker 1: a preview of retail sales and PPI data for December.
Speaker 1: Earlier holiday spending and inflation are expected to take a
Speaker 1: bite out of December retail sales sales were up a
Speaker 1: lot in October and if cooled since and are even
Speaker 1: lower on an inflation adjusted basis. There may be some
Speaker 1: good news on inflation, however, producer prices are FO asked
Speaker 1: to have fallen on both a month over month and
Speaker 1: annual basis. That likely would reinforce investor perceptions the feds
Speaker 1: cumulative rate hikes are affecting inflation. Michael McKey Bloomberg Daybreak,
Speaker 1: All right, Mike, thanks. The SMP five hundred's coming off,
Speaker 1: its first loss in five days. Is disappointing earnings from
Speaker 1: Goldman Sachs Way on stocks. Wells Fargo Securities head of
Speaker 1: equity strategy Chris Harvey says there is room to go
Speaker 1: lower from here. We think there's downside the DRED, but
Speaker 1: ultimately do recover, right. We we do think that we
Speaker 1: end up higher for DRED is the high for this year,
Speaker 1: and we do think we get there. We think that again,
Speaker 1: what you're facing is more of an economic malaise, not
Speaker 1: a sharp sell off, not something that that's going to
Speaker 1: be horrific, and as a result, we can muddle through that.
Speaker 1: Wells fargoes. Chris Harvey, like so many other strategists, says
Speaker 1: FED policy will be key for the path of equities
Speaker 1: this year. Well. Returning to corporate News now, Nathan, and
Speaker 1: we're seeing more job cuts in the tech industry, Let's
Speaker 1: get the latest Live with the Bloomberg Steve Rappaport's Steve
Speaker 1: good Good morning, Karen and Nathan. Add Microsoft to the
Speaker 1: list of tech companies tightening the belt. The software giant
Speaker 1: plans to slash jobs in various engineering divisions today. The
Speaker 1: number of cuts is not clear, but a person familiar
Speaker 1: with the matter tells Bloomberg the reduction will be significantly
Speaker 1: larger than previous rounds of layoffs. The company stock closed
Speaker 1: up yesterday by nearly half of a percent. Shares are
Speaker 1: down slightly in pre market trading. Live in New York.

Speaker 1: to take a look at some of the other stories
Speaker 1: making news in New York and around the world. Good morning,
Speaker 1: Michael barn Good morning, Nathan. Despite being accused of violating
Speaker 1: campaign finance laws and falsifying his resume, newly elected New

Speaker 1: dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan
Speaker 1: Hagar taking you back to Davos now bringing you some
Speaker 1: of our conversations from day three of the World Economic Forum.
Speaker 1: Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Gita Gopinath is
Speaker 1: forecasting the year ahead for the global economy and the
Speaker 1: influence of US and China relations. In a conversation with
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Francine la Quax, Gopinat says it is going to
Speaker 1: be a rocky first half of the year as several
Speaker 1: countries battle inflation and manage geopolitical risks. At the same time,
Speaker 1: she thinks China's reopening is a key stimulus for the
Speaker 1: global economy and as a result US China relations as well.
Speaker 1: Let's listen in to part of that conversation. Now, you
Speaker 1: seem a bit more optimistic than maybe a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago. So overall, are you leading towards a better
Speaker 1: forecast for the world economy this year? In terms of
Speaker 1: the overall foecust We will have the south at the
Speaker 1: end of January, but it will be in the ballpark
Speaker 1: of what we put out in October. So I think
Speaker 1: the positive way to think about it is, you know,
Speaker 1: after going through about three rounds of downgrades, at least
Speaker 1: we don't have a worse outcome that we're looking at
Speaker 1: this time around. The positive news is that we have
Speaker 1: global growth for the bottoming out of this year. It
Speaker 1: improves towards the second half of this year and then
Speaker 1: into four and that's because that we've seeing signs of resilience.
Speaker 1: We have China that's ripped off with zero COVID policy,
Speaker 1: so we're going to see some improvement towards the end
Speaker 1: of the year. But again, this is still a tough here.
Speaker 1: It is a tough here. But do you think inflation
Speaker 1: has peaked? And if inflation speak doesn't make it again
Speaker 1: much easier from the from the second half, is that
Speaker 1: the main thing that would make a difference. Our expectation
Speaker 1: is that headline inflation has peaked, But when it comes
Speaker 1: to the more sticky components of inflation, which is inflation
Speaker 1: services sector inflation, there are countries where that's still trending up.
Speaker 1: In the US, we've seeing signs of its slowing, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to wait for a few more months
Speaker 1: of the kind of good data that we suffering come
Speaker 1: out of the US just to start thinking that, Okay,
Speaker 1: now we're truly on the part towards the two percent target.
Speaker 1: I think one three policy will have to stay the
Speaker 1: course through three git. How are you expecting the China
Speaker 1: reopening to go ahead? So today we also have Janet Yellen,
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary, meeting with the Vice Primery of China in Zurich.
Speaker 1: Are you expecting a rap prosh ball between the two
Speaker 1: and does that help with the world economy? I mean, firstly,
Speaker 1: we have a China reopening, which literally means that they're
Speaker 1: going to travel two different paths of the world after
Speaker 1: being shut out for a couple of years. So that
Speaker 1: with the increasing mobility, we expect to see China's growth
Speaker 1: recover later this year. And also it has that has
Speaker 1: positive spillers for the rest of the world. We've certainly
Speaker 1: seen more engagement between the US and China. I think
Speaker 1: one important meeting was what happened at the Leader summit
Speaker 1: in Bali in November between prison by didn President Juan
Speaker 1: pink That was a positive signed. The idea was to
Speaker 1: put a floor on their relationship, and I think these
Speaker 1: meetings are critical. I mean, these are the two largest
Speaker 1: economies of the world. It's important for the rest of
Speaker 1: the world that they work closely together. How worried are
Speaker 1: you about the US sailing? It really should not be
Speaker 1: something we are even second guessing at this point. Right
Speaker 1: the US has the highest investment grade rating in the world.
Speaker 1: There's already enough uncertainty, there are enough risks that we
Speaker 1: have to deal with. This should not be an additional
Speaker 1: risk that the US or the world should have to
Speaker 1: deal with. But is it. I feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of the charters here on Dables and elsewhere, is that,
Speaker 1: actually we could see that sailing. It could be difficult
Speaker 1: to get through it, and we could even see US
Speaker 1: being downgraded. There was certainly a risk to it. I mean,
Speaker 1: there is certainly, given the dynamics that we have in
Speaker 1: the US Congress, there will certainly be some tensions around it.
Speaker 1: But I really hope they just get the job done
Speaker 1: and do the right thing. We just moved the death ceiling.
Speaker 1: Do what's needed to make sure that this is not
Speaker 1: in question. I know you focus a lot of your
Speaker 1: energy on talking about fragmentation, and actually I guess the
Speaker 1: pitfalls of that. Are we seeing a more fragmented world
Speaker 1: than we did even last year. The world has been
Speaker 1: moving towards fragmentation, say over the last few years. They
Speaker 1: started with the U. S. China trade tensions before the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Now you've had the pandemic. In the war, everybody is
Speaker 1: very concerned about economic security and national security. You know,
Speaker 1: those are good things. It's important for countries to build resilience.
Speaker 1: But we're also seeing that as kind of ensuring, which
Speaker 1: is bringing production back home. And that's if we move
Speaker 1: in that direction, I think it's just going to be
Speaker 1: costly for both households and for farms everywhere. We've seen
Speaker 1: quite a lot of vlatility in the market because the
Speaker 1: b A jayput or didn't put in place. Do you
Speaker 1: support to those kind of moves. So the Bank of
Speaker 1: Japan has a pretty complex decision to deal with unlikes
Speaker 1: the other major economies of the world. Yes, they have
Speaker 1: inflation going going up, but the risk of inflation sliding
Speaker 1: back well below their target remains high. So they have
Speaker 1: to do this complex straight off keeping monetary policy accommodative
Speaker 1: while ensuring that it's consistent with the inflation data that's
Speaker 1: coming up. We have actually a mission in Japan Right
Speaker 1: now on the ground, We're gonna have a report coming
Speaker 1: out of Japan relatively suitor to their future. This is
