Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.
Speaker 3: We begin in Asia, where stocks surged overnight. China's CSI
Speaker 3: three hundred rows nearly three percent. The Hangsing and Hong
Speaker 3: Kong climbed four percent. The catalyst China's Politbureau signaling more
Speaker 3: support for the economy. Bloomberg Daybreak Asia anchor Brian Curtis
Speaker 3: as more from Hong Kong.
Speaker 4: Policymakers are admitting that the recovery has sputtered because of
Speaker 4: weak confidence. Confidence was mentioned multiple times. The Politburo statement
Speaker 4: focuses on boosting consumption, helping private business, and carving out
Speaker 4: a more supportive stance on the property sector. The cumulative
Speaker 4: weight of so many policies is not lost on investors,
Speaker 4: from rate cuts to triple our cuts, action to boost
Speaker 4: household spending, construction, cars, tech, and more. But the key
Speaker 4: now will be the actual measures to implement the broader
Speaker 4: policy that's still to come. In Hong Kong and Curtis
Speaker 4: Bloomberg day.
Speaker 2: Break, Hi, Brian, thanks well. Markets are applauding the stimulus
Speaker 2: from China. Now, the question is when we'll see these
Speaker 2: measures take effect. From that, we turn to Bloombergy China
Speaker 2: Economy editor Jill Deesis.
Speaker 5: I would expect that you're going to start seeing this
Speaker 5: over the course of the next few weeks and months.
Speaker 5: Remember this is a mid year review meeting. This is
Speaker 5: the paullup Bura meeting every year where they traditionally set
Speaker 5: the course for economic agenda not just for the next month,
Speaker 5: but for the next six months. So I think that
Speaker 5: you know what that means from what we've been hearing
Speaker 5: from economists is maybe you see some cuts in policy
Speaker 5: interest rates toward the end of the year.
Speaker 2: In Bloombery, Stale desis as the offshore you want is
Speaker 2: stronger following the news, is currently trading at around seven
Speaker 2: point one four per dollar.
Speaker 3: Well back here in the US, Karen, we are laser
Speaker 3: focused on earnings today. Nearly three dozen companies in the
Speaker 3: S and P five hundred it'll be reporting, including Microsoft
Speaker 3: and Google. We get more on the outlook for Microsoft
Speaker 3: from Bloomberg's Tom Busby.
Speaker 6: Despite its thirty billion dollar investment in artificial intelligence pioneer
Speaker 6: Open AI, sales growth at Microsoft is expected to remain
Speaker 6: below ten percent for last quarter. A midwekening demand for
Speaker 6: its cloud computing services after years of runaway growth. Still,
Speaker 6: analysts expect to see adjusted earnings of two dollars fifty
Speaker 6: five cents a share, that would be a fourteen percent
Speaker 6: jump over the same period a year ago, and revenues
Speaker 6: of fifty five and a half billion dollars. Tom Busby
Speaker 6: Bloomberg Day Break, All right.
Speaker 2: Tom, thanks, well, whon't we wait for Microsoft's earnings. The
Speaker 2: corporate world remains a buzz over elon Mus's decision to
Speaker 2: say bye Bye Birdie. As Bloomberg John Tucker reports, the
Speaker 2: new rebranding of Twitter could cost the company billions.
Speaker 7: Analysts and brand agencies tell Bloomberg elon mus move to
Speaker 7: turn Twitter into Acts wiped out anywhere between four billion
Speaker 7: and twenty billion dollars in brand value. The call it
Speaker 7: a mistake, they say, is an understatement. Alan Adamson, the
Speaker 7: co founder of the marketing at brand consulting group Metaphors,
Speaker 7: calls the move completely irrational from a business and brand
Speaker 7: point of view. In the way of an explanation, must
Speaker 7: tweeted or axed yesterday that the move is not simply
Speaker 7: a company renaming itself. It's remaking the business into a
Speaker 7: broad platform for communications and financial transactions in New York Ime.
Speaker 7: John Tucker, Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 3: Thanks John. Outside of earnings, it's all about the Fed
Speaker 3: this week. We are one day away from the Central
Speaker 3: Bank's next policy decision, when it is expected to hike
Speaker 3: rates by another quarter percent. Higher rates mean bigger earnings
Speaker 3: for banks like City Group. We spoke with Citigroup Institutional
Speaker 3: Clients Group CEO Paco Ebarra.
Speaker 8: Rates is a positive part of the story because we
Speaker 8: have to remember that we've had many years with zero rates,
Speaker 8: with rates almost debt. You know, very little uncertainty about
Speaker 8: the race we're going to do, and we have now
Speaker 8: a comeback of the race business.
Speaker 3: That's the good news for big banks. On the flip side,
Speaker 3: City Group's poco Ebara says new capital requirements that regulators
Speaker 3: will propose this week could hinder the bank's ability to
Speaker 3: trade certain products.
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, we're getting more detail else about JP Morgan
Speaker 2: Chase and its alleged ties to disgrace financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2: The US Virgin Islands has filed documents in its lawsuit
Speaker 2: against the bank. They show then CEO Sandy Warner told
Speaker 2: Jess Staley in two thousand he should meet with Epstein,
Speaker 2: calling him quote one of the most connected people I know.
Speaker 2: The Virgin Islands is seeking at least one hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety million dollars from JP Morgan in its lawsuit accusing
Speaker 2: the bank of enabling Epstein's sex trafficking. The bank argues
Speaker 2: the Virgin Islands turned a blind eye on his crimes
Speaker 2: and organized visas for his victims.
Speaker 3: Well Karen, another top name in finance's facing pressure from
Speaker 3: Capitol Hill over his ties to Epstein. Leon Black of
Speaker 3: Apollo Global Management is under investigation at the Senate Finance Committee.
Speaker 3: It's over one hundred and fifty eight million dollars in
Speaker 3: payments to Epstein for advice on a state planning taxes
Speaker 3: and running his family office. Lawmakers want to know whether
Speaker 3: that money amounts to gifts that Black now owes taxes
Speaker 3: on and politics.
Speaker 2: This morning, Nathan, there's word of another shake up in
Speaker 2: the presidential ca campaign of Rohn DeSantis, sources Town Bloomberg,
Speaker 2: The Florida governor is making a change in leadership after
Speaker 2: pressure from donors and supporters. DeSantis is elevating digital director
Speaker 2: Ethan Elion to deputy campaign manager. That's as the presidential
Speaker 2: hopeful becomes increasingly frustrated by his campaigns spending under current
Speaker 2: campaign manager Kinera Peck.
Speaker 1: Where told.
Speaker 2: Peck's position is being questioned as the campaign enters a
Speaker 2: critical stretch ahead of the first Republican primary debate next month.
Speaker 3: Time now to take a look at some of the
Speaker 3: other stories making news in New York and around the
Speaker 3: world with Bloomberg's Michael Bark and Bonnie Michael.
Speaker 9: Good morning, Nathan. We're learning more about the case of
Speaker 9: suspected Long Island serial killer Rex Huerman. The bodies of victims,
Speaker 9: all women, were found more than a decade ago on
Speaker 9: Gilgol Beach. The search has intensified at Huerman's home. Suffolk
Speaker 9: County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison clarified what was found inside.
Speaker 10: There's not a soundproof film. There is a vault where
Speaker 10: he secured numerous amount of guns. Somehow, I believe that
Speaker 10: the sound performing the vaults that message got miscushrewed, But
Speaker 10: there is a vault.
Speaker 9: An excavator has been digging through Hureerman's backyard. The record
Speaker 9: smashing heat wave across the US continues today. Phoenix, Arizona
Speaker 9: is expected to see its twenty sixth consecutive day of
Speaker 9: one hundred ten degrees or hutter and the pavement itself
Speaker 9: is causing a spike in contact burns. Doctor Kevin Foster
Speaker 9: is the director of the Arizona Burn Center at Valley
Speaker 9: Wise Help.
Speaker 11: Most people don't realize that the pavement, concrete, cement sidewalks rocks.
Speaker 11: The temperature of those surfaces can get to be one
Speaker 11: hundred and seventy to one hundred and eighty degrees, which
Speaker 11: is just a little bit below the boiling temperature of water,
Speaker 11: so it only takes a fraction of a second to
Speaker 11: get a really bad burn.
Speaker 9: Meanwhile, experts say water temperatures in the nineties off Florida
Speaker 9: could fuel stronger hurricanes this year. New York City Mayor
Speaker 9: Eric Adams is cracking down on on sidewalk scaffolding. Some
Speaker 9: have been ie sores for too long. Adams announced the
Speaker 9: Get Sheds Down Plan.
Speaker 12: Whilest ibo sheds were created to protect New Yorkers now
Speaker 12: have become unsafe constructions and it is, as we stated,
Speaker 12: a safe haven for criminal behavior.
Speaker 9: There are about eighty nine hundred active sheds in New
Speaker 9: York City that have been up, averaging four hundred eighty
Speaker 9: days and some more than ten years. President Joe Biden
Speaker 9: is expected to sign a proclamation today that establishes a

Speaker 9: nineteen fifty five helped propel the civil rights movement. The
Speaker 9: White House proposed a set of rules today to improve
Speaker 9: insurance coverage for mental health conditions. It's part of a

Speaker 9: is Bloomberg NAGGA.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Michael.
Speaker 3: Time out for the Bloomberg Sports update. Here's John Stashout.
Speaker 1: Thanks Nathan.
Speaker 13: Mets and Yankees split a couple of one run games
Speaker 13: last month at City Field. Now they play a two
Speaker 13: game Subway series at the stadium with tonight, Justin Verlander
Speaker 13: facing Domingo Herman. Verlander comes off his best outing against
Speaker 13: the White Sox. He went eight innings, allowed only one run,
Speaker 13: three hits. Herman had that perfect game a few weeks ago.
Speaker 13: Last time out at the Angels, he gave up five runs.
Speaker 13: The two teams the Yanks are chasing for a wildcard
Speaker 13: spot both won last night Toronto in eleven innings over
Speaker 13: the Dodgers. Houston in a wild one over Texas ten
Speaker 13: to nine. The Yanks trail the Blue Jays by two
Speaker 13: and a half games and the Astros by three and
Speaker 13: a half. The Orioles one again, three two at Philadelphia.
Speaker 13: The Yankees are in Baltimore this weekend. The Orioles have
Speaker 13: won thirteen of their last sixteen. They lead the Al
Speaker 13: East by two and a half over Tampa Bay. It
Speaker 13: has to say the LEAs been a rough summer at Northwestern.
Speaker 13: Allegations of hazing on the football team bullying on.
Speaker 9: The baseball team.
Speaker 13: Both coaches have been fired, and now a former volleyball
Speaker 13: player has filed a lawsuit charging hazing and racism, and
Speaker 13: another former football player is suing and Lloyd Yates is
Speaker 13: the first to go public.
Speaker 14: We were all victims, no matter what our role was
Speaker 14: at the time, but the culture was so strong there
Speaker 14: we felt we had to go with it to survive,
Speaker 14: to be respected, and to earn the trust within the
Speaker 14: football program.
Speaker 13: Yeah was a quarterback from twenty fifteen to seventeen. I
Speaker 13: blow out of the Buffalo Bills that were counting on
Speaker 13: Nahim Hines to be a big part of their offense
Speaker 13: and special teams. He had a game last season where
Speaker 13: he ran two kickoffs back for touchdown, but heinz Will
Speaker 13: missed the season do an injury suffered as a jet
Speaker 13: ski accident. The NFL has to spend another player for gambling,

Speaker 15: From coast to coast, from New York to ten Boston
Speaker 15: to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg Business app,
Speaker 15: and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning,
Speaker 15: I'm Nathan Hager. What's next for the US property sector?
Speaker 3: Starwood Capitol Group Chairman Barry Sternlick says, between work from home,
Speaker 3: low mortgage rates, and other post pandemic phenomena, there is
Speaker 3: a lot of uncertainty and distress. Sternlock sat down on
Speaker 3: the latest episode of Bloomberg Wealth with David Rubinstein for
Speaker 3: an extended conversation on the path ahead for US real
Speaker 3: estate let's listen to part of that conversation.
Speaker 16: The work from home phenomenon is a US phenomenon. If
Speaker 16: you go to England or Germany. I was just we
Speaker 16: have some investments, oh if shore and I was just
Speaker 16: looking at rents are up in vacancy rates in the
Speaker 16: top EU German property markets Berlin, Frankfort, Munich, Homberg or
Speaker 16: less than five percent. You and I go to the
Speaker 16: Middle East, they're full. We have offices in Asia, they're full.
Speaker 16: In the US you have two markets. You have the
Speaker 16: really nice buildings that are ESG compliant, that are lovely,
Speaker 16: like the one we're sitting in. This place is buzzing,
Speaker 16: and they're back because it's a fun place to be.
Speaker 16: And if you're in a building with lots of cubicles
Speaker 16: and it's dark and there's no life and love, so
Speaker 16: nice buildings, even in a city is as currently destitute
Speaker 16: of San Francisco, from an office market perspective, the best
Speaker 16: buildings are still leased, and so you're going to see
Speaker 16: a bifurcation of the market in office The nice buildings
Speaker 16: will stay rented and my guess is at pretty good
Speaker 16: rates and the B and C stuff is going to
Speaker 16: be maybe fields of grain or something'll be very pretty.
Speaker 16: We have all these little mid block parks in New
Speaker 16: York City because there won't be anything else to do
Speaker 16: with those buildings, and nobody will carry them because there's
Speaker 16: no hope. Some of those cities that have issues on commuting,
Speaker 16: like New York or La Downtown, La Downtown San Francisco,
Speaker 16: the c that are difficult to commute to, that's where
Speaker 16: the pressure is so hard from workers saying I don't
Speaker 16: want to drive into the city an hour and a
Speaker 16: half and drive home an hour and a half every day.
Speaker 16: But I also think a nice little recession will clear
Speaker 16: this and you'll see people come back to the office
Speaker 16: and in your town. Take the Amazon HQ two. They're
Speaker 16: expecting people in those offices four days a week come
Speaker 16: the fall. So the other thing about office day it
Speaker 16: is AI. AI is going to hit a couple of
Speaker 16: these industries that have been big users of office space.
Speaker 17: You think artificial intelligence is obviously coming, but what industries
Speaker 17: you think will be most effective.
Speaker 16: Legal is probably the number one industry that could be
Speaker 16: disrupted by AI. You can search every precedent in the
Speaker 16: history of mankind with a machine. You don't need a
Speaker 16: paralegal to do that anymore, and they'll write the brief
Speaker 16: for you. So the legal profession is probably target one.
Speaker 16: Not far behind is advertising, when the machine is going
Speaker 16: to update advertising and keep bombarding you with more and
Speaker 16: more ads, with more and more offers until you take one.
Speaker 16: Humans won't be there. They'll be maybe guiding it, but
Speaker 16: it'll be it'll change advertising. It's another big user of
Speaker 16: space finance. You tell me, I mean, there's a buttons
Speaker 16: now on your computer. They'll be running a lot of
Speaker 16: the stuff for you. It could fundamentally shake up permanent
Speaker 16: demand for office now.
Speaker 17: Sometimes people are saying that the best investment opportunity now
Speaker 17: is to stress real estate debt. But you think it's
Speaker 17: too early for that.
Speaker 16: They're just beginning to you know, we were going to
Speaker 16: give back an office building and they said, well, not
Speaker 16: so fast. If you want to, we'll restructure a loan
Speaker 16: and we'll cut it the loan in half, and you
Speaker 16: put the money in here, and we'll take this as
Speaker 16: a junior note. Because the banks don't want the assets back.
Speaker 17: And why don't they want them back because they think
Speaker 17: it's going to go down even further.
Speaker 16: Yeah, because they got to carry them they're not set
Speaker 16: up to carry these assets right, and they got to
Speaker 16: go hire someone. They got to go to the leasing themselves.
Speaker 16: It's not their business. They'd rather have a GP like
Speaker 16: your old firm Carlisle or Starwood or Blackstone, hold onto
Speaker 16: the asset and try to work it out.
Speaker 17: So a lot of fortunes were made in the real
Speaker 17: estate world, you know seven oh eight when people bought
Speaker 17: distressed real estate, and all in late eighties two when
Speaker 17: the RTC was here. So do you see funds being
Speaker 17: formed to buy these assets, but you think they won't
Speaker 17: be available for a year or two.
Speaker 16: Right now, you have an unusual situation in the real
Speaker 16: estate market. It's because everyone's sort of looking at the
Speaker 16: yield curve and it says rates will be lower later.
Speaker 16: Everyone says, you know, survive till twenty five, hold onto
Speaker 16: your assets. So transaction volumes have plummeted. Unless you have
Speaker 16: to sell something today. Nobody wants to sell anything today.
Speaker 16: They think tomorrow will be rosier. For the most part,
Speaker 16: everybody's pushing any sales back. And I think transaction advising
Speaker 16: apartments are down sixty percent, industrial down seventy percent. It's
Speaker 16: a very dry you know, there's no IPOs and there's
Speaker 16: no sales in housing.
Speaker 17: Do you see a recession there because prices are going
Speaker 17: to come down at some point, or you don't see
Speaker 17: a recession in housing.
Speaker 16: The housing markets had a very unusual situation where powells.
Speaker 16: Increase in rates has diminished supply and people. And I'm
Speaker 16: not sure we've ever had a situation where so many
Speaker 16: people have locked to have locked in their mortgage costs.
Speaker 16: So right now people are sticking in their house, which
Speaker 16: has diminished the supply of homes for sale. I wonder
Speaker 16: when rates come down, homes will be sold like people
Speaker 16: will start because the mortgage will no longer be a
Speaker 16: reason to hold onto the house. And whether that will
Speaker 16: offset will probably be an increase in supply as the
Speaker 16: bills resume a more normal cycle. So maybe the housing
Speaker 16: market just stagnates for a while, but over time it's
Speaker 16: headed up.
