"Headquarters in New York. Let's check this hour's top business stories in the markets. Two fed speakers questioned whether rates are high enough to crush inflation. The head of the Cleveland fed Loretta mester was saying the fed has yet to reach sufficiently restrictive rates, meantime the head of the Richmond fed Tom barkin is still looking to be convinced that inflation has been defeated. We are seeing shares in Baidu trade 3% higher in Hong Kong, China's Internet search leader reported revenue rose, a stronger than expected 10% last quarter. We have more from Bloomberg's Joanne Wong in Hong Kong. Baidu's results suggest China's largest Internet firms are making some headway and revival efforts after two years of regulatory crackdowns and COVID restrictions. Baidu's advertising and cloud businesses are rebound in demand, especially post Chinese New Year. Baidu may have also benefited from his chat GPT style surface called Ernie bod, which was China's first major response to OpenAI, the Chinese chat bot scored positive reviews among Baidu's selective testers lifting the company's stock by the hopes that technology will help it transition to a provider of AI technology and autonomous driving. For now, Baidu still counts on advertising sales to generate cash and fund riskier projects. Its smart speaker unit is also set to unveil a new phone this week, building out a hardware ecosystem to complement its Internet services. That is Bloomberg's Joanne Wong in Hong Kong. Two of China's largest online brokers are ready to remove their trading platforms from app stores in China this week. We have more from Bloomberg's of on man. China is taking a harder stance on capital flows out of the country, food to holdings and up FinTech known as Tiger brokers say they're moving to comply with the regulators requirements, restrictions mainly applied to cross border brokers, hutus app, Hutu bull will be removed Friday, tigers app will be taken off tomorrow, Hutu and Tiger have been operating in a gray area for years, their apps have allowed millions of local investors to evade capital controls to trade shares in Hong Kong and New York. The brokerages say users outside of the country will not be affected by the app removal, shares the brokers fell double digits in New York. That is Bloomberg's of en man. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk says the EV maker will dabble in advertisement serious speaking earlier to CNBC. The some good logic to it in that if we're simply saying information by, say, the Tesla Twitter account on my Twitter account, or somewhat preaching to the converted. And not reaching people that are not already convinced, essentially. So I think they're probably have a good point. I think it's worth a try. Betsy Elon Musk speaking to CNBC he went on to say the new plan is still not yet a fully formed strategy. We check markets throughout the day here on Bloomberg right now. We're on the lunch break in Japan, the nikkei up 7 tenths of 1%, hang seng down three tenths of 1% and in Seoul the Cosby higher by 7 tenths of 1%. This is Bloomberg

"Now these minutes from the FOMC from their last meeting, it's wrapped up on February 1st, the central bankers announced a pretty modest 25 basis point hike in benchmark rates. The key, of course, is what policymakers see looking ahead. So what are we hoping to see this time? Well, ordinarily, you'd say you don't get that much from the minutes because it's three weeks old and we've had a lot of data since then, and we have had a lot of data that may have changed their views, and this week we got some of those views start to starting to change in public with Cleveland fed's Loretta mester, for example, saying that she thought that they should have done 50 basis points at that February 1st meeting. That would have been something we were looking for in the minutes. Well, let's hear a sound from Loretta mester right now. Why she says the case was made for a much bigger basis point hike. So at this juncture, the incoming data have not changed my view that we will need to bring the fed funds rate above 5%. And hold it there for some time to be sufficiently restricted to ensure that inflation is on a sustainable path back to 2%. Indeed, at our meeting two weeks ago, setting aside what financial market participants participants expected us to do, I saw a compelling economic case. For a 50 basis point increase, which would have brought the top of the target range to 5%. All right, Loretta mester there, and let's go back. Some of the things that you just talked about, these data points that really may have been exactly what she was referring to about better than forecast jobs report for January, better than forecast, Q four GDP, better than forecast retail sales for the same month. And how that may have influenced the fed in the last three weeks. It's going to be interesting to see how it might have influenced the fed because we've seen inflation come down a lot in November and December and then rebound in January and both the CPI and the PPI. And maybe it's telling us what the fed has been trying to tell us the inflation Genie is still not back in the model. It's going to take a while to bring that down and they need to do more for longer, raise rates higher for longer, which is something they've been saying for a long time. The real dichotomy seems to be on the growth side where many of these fed officials, including master, including Tom barkin earlier, saying that we think there's going to be a recession or darn close to it. Loretta mester said that business contacts in her district are preparing for one, and yet as you mentioned, the retail sales numbers and other signs of growth have come in fairly strong, so when does that happen? Right, and you spoke to Richmond fed president Barton just this past week and got some great insight from him. So let's listen to what he told you about fed rate hikes

It's hard to guess how high interest rates will have to go and how long they'll have to be high in order to crush inflation. Federal Reserve bank of Cleveland president Loretta mester said her estimate for interest rates is higher than that of her colleagues and the Central Bank needs sustained tight policy to defeat inflation. We need to continue to bring up interest rates into a restrictive stance. We did a lot of work this year in getting expeditiously to a restrictive stance. Now we're just in starting that bringing rates even higher. And I think we're going to need to be there for a long, you know, quite a while in order to get inflation on a sustainable downward path.

Cleveland fed president Loretta mester, telling our Michael McKee her estimate for interest rates is higher than that of her colleagues on the Central Bank needs sustained type policy to defeat inflation, master interviewed moments ago right here on Bloomberg radio. The level of inflation is still way too high. You know, 7.1 on the CPI 6% on the PC measured year over year. That's well above our goal.

"Bridgewater associates puts it. The fed and the government together gave an enormous amount of debt and credit and created a lurch forward. It a giant lurch forward and created a bubble. And now they're putting on the brakes. Okay, so now we're going to create a giant lurch backward. Dahlia is speaking there as the fed keeps indicating it is not going to pull its punches when it comes to fighting inflation. And Denise, we got some of those indications this week from Loretta master head of the Cleveland fed. Here she is with Bloomberg's Kathleen Hayes. We need to do more. And we have not seen inflation move back down. And we need to see that because leaving inflation where it is, if we continues, there's a higher chance that it does become embedded in the economy and affecting pricing decisions of firms and also getting into the psyche of households. And that has long-term negative connotations for the economy. So this is a question. We know that it's time to continue on and persevere and bring the funds right up. We know that we're going to have to keep it there for a time until we see inflation beginning to come back down because we really want to make sure it's on a sustainable downward path to 2%. So if you remember the dot plot in the median path from the last SEP in September, we're very much aligned in terms of where we think policy needs to get to. Okay. Well, in fact, after 300 basis points of rate hikes, you know, it seems that the terminal rate, I want to ask you, does it look like maybe it's going to end up having to be higher than you thought. Do you have any confidence now in even knowing what the terminal raids claim to be people, many people have talked about something as high as 5%. Well, we have to wait until we see how the economy evolves. This is the assessment process that we're going to be going through the end of this year and into next year is we want to basically get inflation on this downward path, right? Labor markets continue to be very strong. We have seen some moderation there. We have seen some moderation on the product side of the economy. And it really is. Now we're going to calibrate going forward. But right now, the funds rate is just approaching a neutral of funds rate. And we really need to get it above neutral for a time if we want to put inflation on the downward path and we do. So again, we're we put out the dot plots, which give our best estimate at the moment of what's appropriate policy. But we're going to be doing this assessment of how fast is man moderating health quickly is supply maybe picking up and our price pressure is coming down. And that will be the job as we go forward in this challenging time. Well, the message from the fed seems to be all the comments lately that the idea is to move quickly, front row of the rate hikes, get to a four and a half to four and three quarters. And then see how that's affecting inflation. But to clarify, does this mean that once you get to that point when you think you're at neutral when it's four and a half to four and three quarters that you're going to pause even with the funds rate well below the rate of inflation because that's where it's likely going to be. Right. Well, I think we're going to see inflation come down next year. So when I'm thinking about how far above a neutral rate do we have to go. And I do think we're going to have to be in restricted territory. Remember, as inflation comes down, we're becoming more restrictive. So again, this is the assessment we have to do. So I think the appropriate path is we continue to raise rates a bit more. So we get it up to that level where we're positive in terms of the real funds rate. Based on expected inflation over the next year, then we wait and assess data coming in, but not only the backward looking data and the lag data, but also the information we're getting from the street in terms of Main Street, right? Real consumers, real households, real businesses telling us how they're thinking about the economy. What about there's a big difference right now between the PCE, which is your main target. And the CPI. So can you continue to target the PCE and a nor the CPI given how different they are, especially when you're trying to figure out when you've gotten to not a negative funds rate, but a positive funds rate. When we look at a lot of different measures of inflation are target, our inflation target is formulated in terms of the headline PC inflation. So including all components, we want that to be 2%. That's our target. But when we're assessing where inflation is going, we look at the CPI. We look at the underlying measures in terms of the median CPI inflation, the trim means CPI, to mean PCE. And those give us the core measures. They give us an idea of where inflation is going. So the gap is really reflective of just the weights of the components and the indices, but they're all telling us right now that inflation is high and it's likely to remain high.

Yeah, it was a volatile day in markets have both stocks and bonds chopped around quite a bit. Now in terms of the equity space we had some dip buyers coming into the picture kind of midday when the S&P 500 fell to its lowest intraday level since 2020, but sentiment really took a hit late in the day when the head of the Bank of England said support for the British guilt market will end on Friday. This is governor Andrew Bailey. He essentially issued a warning to fund managers, wind up the positions you're unable to maintain. You've got three days left.

We are seeing some pretty aggressive selling in Taiwan at the moment the Taj down 1.6%, but much less so in Singapore, the straights times index just down a third of a percent in the early going right now China futures are moving down, but also not too aggressively off four tenths of a percent earlier hang seng index futures were down just four tenths of a percent.

And we don't have trading in India, but just looking at that astonishing number from yesterday. One lone green number here peaking out with a big gain of 2.7% in the sensex yesterday, pushing up ever closer to 60,000 on the sensex. So what's really happening? Well, it's a hawkish drum beat from central banks that is taking a toll on risk assets. It's supporting the dollar pushing up bond yields. We didn't have the two year yield up at 3.50%, so that's officially the highest that we've seen since 2007, so what is that 15 years? And the yield on the tenure now, 3.20%.

Dalyan one 39 42 the Euro just over parody at 1.0026 and oils down as well, 89 19 a barrel. Doug to you. Thanks, Brian. Well, more fed officials, stressing the commitment to defeat inflation. Today, it was Cleveland fed president Loretta mester saying the fed needs to move its benchmark rate above 4% by early next year. And leave it there for some time. But mister also said the fed's next move will depend on a variety of factors. The size of rate increases at any particular FOMC meeting. And the peak fed funds rate will depend on the inflation outlook, which depends on the assessment of how rapidly aggregate demand and supplier coming back into better balance and price pressures are being reduced. That is Cleveland fed president Loretta master, she went on to forecast inflation moving to a range of between 5 to 6% by the end of the year, and she also said she's not expecting the fed to cut interest rates in 2023. Well, meanwhile, Morgan Stanley chief U.S. equity strategist Mark Wilson says investors should brace for more pain. He told us U.S. stock indexes haven't yet hit bottom for the year as investors have been too preoccupied with the fed. Wilson told us an earnings risk is now upon us. We're cutting numbers and we think the numbers are going to come down even further over the next two quarters. So the bottom line for us is the PE multiple is wrong again, not because the fed is going to be hawkish, but because the equity market is being too optimistic about the earnings outlook. Wilson said the market will probably hit bottom between September and December as earnings get cut. 5 minutes past the hours we update global news

My currency is that we've necessary to move the fed funds rate up to somewhat above 4% by early next year and hold it there. I do not anticipate the fed cutting the fed funds rate target next year. Mister also said that the size of the fed's next rate hike will be data dependent, and she forecasts inflation moving to a range of 5 to 6% by year end.

Also, we're at a short while ago that 3M is planning layoffs to cut cost a given on an economic slowdown that the company is seeing globally. This is a good benchmark or a barometer I should say for the global economy since a 3M has its fingers in so many different pies. The stock finished in the late session down by just a tenth of 1%. In the late U.S. session. Right now in Seoul, I mentioned the Cosby being weak by about 1.2% in Sydney, ASX 200 down, 1% E mini futures for the American market sagging quite a bit. I'll take another look when we check markets again in 15 minutes brain. All right, Doug, thanks very much. Fed officials this week stressing that commitment to beating inflation. Today, Cleveland fed president Loretta mester said that the fed needs to move its benchmark rate above 4% by early next year and then leave it there for some time. But mister said that the fed's next move will depend on a variety of factors. The size of rate increases at any particular FOMC meeting. And the peak fed funds rate will depend on the inflation outlook, which depends on the assessment of how rapidly aggregate demand and supply are coming back into better balance and price pressures are being reduced. Mesh to forecast inflation moving to a range of 5 to 6% by year end, and she said that she doesn't expect the Central Bank to actually cut rates any time next year. Well, meanwhile, Morgan Stanley chief U.S. equity strategist Mike Wilson says investors should brace for more pain. He told us that U.S. stock indexes haven't hit yet bottom for the year as investors have been too preoccupied with fed. Wilson told us an earnings risk is now upon us. We're cutting numbers and we think the numbers are going to come down even further over the next two quarters. So the bottom line for us is the PE multiple is wrong again, not because the fed is going to be hawkish, but because the equity market is being too optimistic about the earnings outlook. Wilson said the market will probably hit bottom between September and December as earnings get cut. Coming up in a few moments we'll have Jeff Schultz with this director and investment strategist at clear bridge investments. The time now four and a half minutes past the hour.

"The S&P taking its year to date losses now to 17% Brian. Yeah, from stocks to bonds to commodities, every major asset fell in the month. It was a pretty tough month just about everywhere except for the dollar. The dollar had some sharp gains. Traders have changed their rate height expectations now after central banks pretty much across the globe all vowing to step up their fight against inflation. It's not quite the same with China and Japan, but just about everywhere else. That is the case. And all the major U.S. indexes had their worst month since June. Treasuries in August faced their biggest monthly loss since April, oil with a third monthly drop in that marked the longest losing streak in more than two years. So I was looking pretty rough out there right now Hank sing index futures down about four tenths of a percent. Nikkei futures are suggesting maybe a 1% drop in the cash market once we get up and running. Australian futures are down 1%. S&P E minis down another three tenths of a percent after falling 31 points in the regular session. It was a drop of about three quarters of a percent. Well down below the 50 day moving average now. So the S&P 500 failed to get above the 200 day that wrapped up the gains that we had seen since the lows in June. And now is trending lower. Quite distinctly now in a bear market. We've got yields here like this, the ten year up close to 3.20%, three 19, but the gain of 9 basis points the two year up to three 49. And WTI $89 and 12 cents a barrel, dug to you. All right, Brian, thanks. Well, fed officials continue to stress the need to defeat inflation today. We heard from the head of the Cleveland fled to Loretta master, she was saying the fed needs to move its benchmark rate above 4% by early next year, and leave it there for some time. However, mister did say the fed's next move will depend on a variety of factors. The size of rate increases at any particular FOMC meeting. And the peak that funds rate will depend on the inflation outlook, which depends on the assessment of how rapidly aggregate demand and supplier coming back into better balance and price pressures are being reduced. That is Cleveland fed president Loretta mester, she is forecasting, by the way, inflation moving in a range of between 5 to 6% by the end of the year, mister also said she doesn't expect the Central Bank to cut rates next year, Rashad. All right, absolutely. We are looking also what is going on with equity markets because in the meantime, we've got Morgan Stanley chief U.S. equity strategist, Mike Wilson saying, investors should brace for more pain, telling us that stock indices in the U.S. have not yet hit bottom for the year as investors have been far too preoccupied with the Federal Reserve. Wilson told us an earnings risk is now upon us. We're cutting numbers and we think the numbers are going to come down even further over the next two quarters. So the bottom line for us is PE multiple is wrong again, not because the fed is going to be hawkish, but because the equity market is being too optimistic about the earnings outward. Wilson's saying the market will probably hit button between September and December as earnings get cut. Coming up on 5 past the hour as we update global news

"Stocks have come off session lows as comments from a Federal Reserve official brought some relief to traders concerned about the odds of an even more aggressive pace of rate hikes plunging the economy into a recession. In fact, the S&P cut its drop by half at one point after fed governor Christopher Waller said he supports a 75 basis point hike in July, but could vote for more aggressive action if data show further inflation risks. Traders reduced bets slightly on a 100 basis point move after his remarks. The Bloomberg dollar spot index trimmed games after touching a record while the two year yield reversed its advance. Cleveland fed president Loretta mester tells Bloomberg, there's a lot of data to consider before jumping to a 100 basis point rate hike. There's more data coming out that I'm going to be very attuned to. We have retail sales coming out on Friday and we have a very important University of Michigan report and of course that's important because it has the place expectations measure a consumer measure in there. So, you know, we have data coming out. What I take from the report and it was uniformly bad. There was no good news in that report at all. Was that inflation remains unacceptably high level?

"Richard fidelity international one of my favorite people at Davos someone who really has a grasp of the dynamics of global Wall Street Great to speak to Lin Martin of the New York Stock Exchange The other day I think a Loretta mester at the Cleveland fed meth winds and Ann Richards is the best of global Wall Street in mathematics as well He knows the myth of Macy's in its up Omar said joins us right now analyst It Evercore ISI on a very good day for Macy's What's the difference between Macy's doing well and target doing less than well Good morning from halfway around the earth Thanks for having me guys Great question Tom I think this is really important actually A lot of people look at the numbers coming out of retail recently Amazon Walmart target and understandably get worried about a consumer recession especially with all the inflation going on But I actually think something different a little bit different is happening I think we're reverting to the mean I think you're seeing a lot of those pandemic winning categories winning franchises start to give some of those gains back And some of those categories and retailers that really struggled during the pandemic for obvious reasons such as Nordstrom and Macy's you're seeing consumers return to those stores and return to those categories such as dressing up to go out So I think we're seeing more of a spending shift in the consumer behavior Pattern shift and necessarily early signs of a recession The word moonshot is not part of what your research departments wants you to use The fact is Macy's has been a moonshot off the pandemic mat But also over the last number of years it's been a real doubt about the strategic execution of their management.

"Down to where is acceptable And then what happens Have we changed inflation dynamics in an inflation regime Well we're aiming for our long run goal of 2% Now if the question is will it take some time to get down to that level Yes because we know that inflation can be persistent And we have supply constraints that even though everyone hoped that they would be easing or not easing and there's upward risk to inflation So it will take some time I don't expect we're going to get inflation down To 2% this year or even by the end of next year But we need to see those monthly numbers moving down in a convincing way I'd have to see compelling evidence that that's happening before I would want to say that we can ease up on what we're doing with policy in terms of taking away accommodation and perhaps moving above the neutral position We're speaking with Loretta mester the Federal Reserve bank of Cleveland president here on Bloomberg radio and television If inflation starts to come down but not very quickly and unemployment starts to rise are you stuck on the horns of a dilemma Well you know policy making is always complicated and difficult and everyone goes into this meeting looking at those exact kinds of questions At this point inflation is just way too high The longer it stays at levels this high the more risk there is that inflation expectations in the longer run inflation expectations will move up And then I'll just make things much harder to control And so you know I'm really laser focused now on that inflation picture and making sure that there's convincing evidence that it is on a trajectory to move down and that.
