First, we'll focus on the Great Lakes and parts of the northeast. As a storm system that's produced severe weather in the nation's midsection, lifts out to the north and areas of rain today will mix with and change over to snow. In fact, heavy snow will blanket much of lower Michigan and northern Indiana later today into tonight. Cities like Detroit, Fort Wayne, and South Bend, Indiana, could see at least 6 inches of snow, if not closer to ten inches. As for Chicago, they're under a winter weather advisory. There will be on the outer fringe of the storm system, which could produce three to as much as 6 inches, not quite as much there, but it's still enough to cause some travel disruptions. Now, the New England snow is mostly expected to occur tonight into tomorrow. It's the same area of low pressure will bring rain to much of the eastern seaboard later today and tonight and the farther inland you go, the more likely you are to see plain snow. There are winter storm warnings after much of New Hampshire in Maine. An upstate New York, there will be an excess of a foot of snow in the adirondack mountains as well as in Vermont. Very windy in the Tennessee valley today and still some strong storms linger yesterday they pounded parts of central and east Texas.

"Around the world, John good morning. Good morning Karen, the international concern growing over monkeypox, the World Health Organization has declared the monkeypox outbreak of public health emergency.

Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake, power plant more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries on John Tucker, this is Bloomberg. Okay, John, thank you. It's 5 19 on Wall Street live from the Bloomberg interactive broker studios. This is Bloomberg daybreak as we get started on a very important week for investors. Lori calvina is with us this morning head of U.S. equity strategy at RBC capital markets. Lori, it's great to speak with you this morning while we all get ready for this fed decision coming up on Wednesday. The markets have pretty much priced in a 75 basis point rate hike. What do you think the market reaction is going to be from whatever the fed does decide on Wednesday? Well, well, thanks for having me as always. I think that as always with these events, it's really more about the details in terms of the commentary that's made afterwards. And at least at this point in time, it seems like there's pretty much a consensus in terms of what the fed is going to do, but I really think it's the forward look. One of the things that I continue to talk to investors about is just the whole sensitivity of the fed to how these policies are reverberating in the economy. So I think if there is any indication that the set of sensitive to that issue, I think that's something equity investors would care, but of course, unfortunately, I don't have a crystal ball. So it's hard to say exactly what Powell will say, but I think that sort of understanding besides sensitivity there is something equity investors are always keen to know. Yeah, we sort of have a dueling forecast for what the fed could do as we get further along in this tightening cycle. We've heard from Morgan Stanley strategists saying that the recession risk is growing and the stocks may have more room to fall here while JPMorgan Chase is saying that maybe inflation's peaked and there could be tailwinds for stocks. What's your view on recession risk going forward? So I'll tell you that I'm in the camp that agrees that the recession risks have risen and we do need to be vigilant, but I'm an equity strategist. So I care about how equity markets digest this as opposed to making the economic call. And I will tell you that with a 24% drawdown already in the S&P. It's come very, very close. And that's where we're at the low and mid June. It's come very close to pricing and a typical recession. And if you look at small cap stocks, they essentially are pricing in a recession. They're already pricing in, for example, a big spike in jobless claims they're already pricing in a plunge in ISM manufacturing back to truck like levels if you just look at the relationship between the performance of those stocks and those economic indicators I mentioned. So I am more interested these days in adding on to rebound trades, we think that defenses are overbought and overvalued at this point in time. And I will just tell you, John, that if you go through the east DFC function on Bloomberg, which is something I do quite frequently, there aren't that many economists that are actually calling for an outright recession, the voices calling for the recession are quite loud. But if you look at streak consensus economic forecast, it's really more for something coming close to contraction in the fourth quarter. And really moderating to below trend type levels. And I think that's what equities are digesting at this point in time. I don't know, late last week, you made a pretty significant call to go overweight now on small cap stocks. Talk a little bit more about that. Why you're thinking that we should be heading more toward small caps as opposed to larger ones. Yeah, so John, small caps for my first professional child, I spent about 7 years exclusively covering the space back in the day, including the early kind of O 9 period, which was quite dicey for the asset class. And one of the things we know about small caps is they do tend to price and risks quite early. So I mentioned they're already pricing on this big deterioration in certain sensitive economic indicators. But if you look at the valuations we're at historic lows and small versus large, you're also, if you look back at mid June, we were trading around 11 times the forward PE multiple and the Russell 2000 and that is typically where the index bottoms out at. If you also look at CFTC positioning data positioning among asset managers and teachers market for Russell 2000 features was well below financial crisis lows. Making essentially massively new all time lows. That is astounding to me. It tells me whatever your view of whether or not recession is coming. This is one area of the market where it has clearly been baked in. And we do know going back over time, recessions are historically fantastic buying opportunities for small caps. They underperform going in, midway through the recession, you tend to see a big pivot. And they outperform very strongly on the way out. And we think that we're getting closer to that inflection point if we aren't at it already. Got about a minute left here, Laurie. We are going to hear from some big names in big tech this week in earnings. What's your expectation there? So I think that this is a bellwether group. I do sort of care more about what classic tech is saying as opposed to the communication services Internet type names. Very keenly watched the software companies to see what the clues are in the corporate behavior. And I think the corporate reaction is going to really tell us how deep this economic carnage economic damage that we may be facing gets. So I think that's really what I'm going to be looking for. But I do think that tech stocks are reasonably valued at this point in time. So keep a close eye on the commentary. Yeah, we'll be watching Ford. Thanks. As always, Lori, great to have you on with us. Laurie calvasina. Head of U.S. equity strategy at RBC capital markets. Right now, S&P futures are up 13 points.

How do we solve this lack. And they're not gonna curry to. They're able to kind of like slow down and cetera these things. Yeah according to jean. The quote point of last seen is crucial to a search because a person will sink to the bottom of a lake within a radius equal to the depth of the water. Oh there's there's an actual formula waiting. Yeah sometimes jean-ann sandy are able pinpoint a search area so accurately that they lower their sonar equipment almost directly on top of the body. Well i know when dancing thousand one idaho's hayden lake. The couple lowered their sonar equipment down on the bodies of two men. One drought nineteen months earlier. The other drowned the previous week. Actually only looking for one of them and they found both to. Wow so let me tell you a couple. I can't obviously cover all of the cases so let me tell you a couple of note that i found interesting okay. In march two thousand and two the ralston's are tasked with finding their first homicide victims. A recruited by the fbi to find for people who had been kidnapped for ransom by a group sought to be connected to the russian. Mafia families of the victims Paid the ransom. One point two million but the victims were still killed. Victims are thought to be at the bottom of the new malone s reservoir which is east of yosemite national park. the ralston's are a bit apprehensive. And they wonder if they're going to be targeted by the russian mafia if they try to help out on this page so gene reaches to his cousin. Who's a recently retired. Fbi agent and his cousin tells him that the russians quote aren't really into murdering people. So you don't really have to worry them doing anything in retaliation. If you go ahead with the search they aren't into murdering people mafia. It's not their style. Keep them alive and do other stuff. I they send them to jail. That's the russian mafias very us right. They're basically like bounty hunters. The russian mafia got you got you so that take the case. Knowing the four murder victims will look different on sonar than a drowning victim. Maybe because their way to down or like role in fucking rug or something like that you know totally different than someone who just naturally drowns. It still takes two weeks to find all four victims and as suspected there at the bottom of the reservoir the because the reservoir close to three hundred feet deep in some areas. It's not safe for divers to reach the bottom So the f. b. i. has to fly okay. So you know when you see on tv show like a crime drama like the diver goes down. He picked he finds comes up and he's like found it or whatever. That doesn't actually happen because divers can't go down that deep okay. So what really happens is something like this where the fbi has to fly in a small unmanned submarine From there dive team headquarters and the submarine has a mechanical arm that hooks the bodies and brings them up to within thirty feet of the surface..

I don't know about your part of the world but here in Vancouver it's getting warmer with each day and although I'm enjoying this beautiful beautiful winter scenery. I could use some warmer days. Okay so let me tell you a story. I remember when we were driving through Yosemite National Park many years ago it was doing one particularly bad wildfire season. Most roads were closed and we had to take a detour in order to get to our destination which was on the other side of the park. At one point we were driving through the forest with dense. Smog all around us. It was absolutely insane and despite having all the windows in our car closed we could still feel the smoke getting inside the car as we were passing through a small forest throat we not just a movement among threes suddenly seven or if I remember correctly about ten fire fighters emerge from the forest. Imagine this all in the colourful uniforms. The faces all block from smog and dirt. You could see these tire but powerful faces almost up-close. It was a truly amazing moment. But that's not all at the top of it. There was this strange Polka of light. That was hitting DAB directly as much as it was distressing seeing such a beautiful place burning and these men sacrificing themselves to save it. This particular scene was one of the most powerful sites I have ever seen. You know unfortunately for some reason I kept driving because I wanted to get to our destination on time and after driving a few kilometres. Adr really hit me heart. Why didn't they stop it this until today? I regret not stopping and taking this very powerful image. Let me tell you one more story. It was a few years ago when we were driving. Not far from the Monument Valley. It was a very small roads at at one point. I noticed old man walking on the side of the road as we were approaching him with or car She looked at me and I look at him. Are we always locked at one second? It was very strange and bizarre experience. We never met before owned. She's face there was his entire life story and again I kept driving. It was about a few minutes later that I just thought why all off. Why did he just stop? There will be such a powerful portrait. I could tell you so many stories like this one. I missed so many situation therefore now after numerous missed opportunities I learned my lesson now regardless of my final I always go a long ways to make sure I stop and photograph most importantly I take my time.
