it was meant to be 51.5 according to the estimates. better than expected. asx 200 is stable at 9/10 of 1%. we just have to half hours to go before we get the latest from the reserve bank of australia. here we go, the go price, very good, up by one third of 1%. i have seen oil under pressure. it is down to this gradual story of restoration and supplies for opec-plus. that has sent down prices by about 4% and we are recovering from that in the latest session up 1.2 percent. wti is below 60 bucks a barrel. yield is under pressure as bond prices rise at 1.68. as a moment the yield under 10 year treasury. that's was going on market wise. haslinda: we have bloomberg markets live strategist mark cranfield. asia pretty much has gains and

losses not tracking the u.s. higher. what is the focus? mark: overall, people are reasonably positive this coming quarter. it is a goldilocks scenario that could be playing out. you have very solid data coming across from all of the countries. united states at another strong report last night. china data continues to be good. at the same time it looks as though treasury yields may have found a p for the time being. it will be less of a risk factor in terms of the bond market. the set up is not doing much today. it's actually probably quite decent for this quarter. so we probably see a grinding continuation of the rotation due for a catcher. it's expanding economy and may be a bit less on the tech side. even though tech stocks are not doing too badly, but maybe there

is room for others to catch up in relation. overall, the outlook has a sudden shock from an unexpected source. and people will probably say that equities are in a good place to do reasonably well this quarter. that's when the bond market is stable. the currency markets have calmed down. even the -- even though the dollar has lost some of its strength that was on the first quarter. rishaad: what are people saying about the near term direction for dollar yuan? mark: what we have seen happen here is pretty much a big trading range for dollar yuan. once the break below 660, they go to the dollar, 50 down towards 640, it drifted back up. we have not quite reached 650 again. in the meantime, but their background to that is higher treasury yields, and the outlook for what's happening in the

united states. but on the flipside of that is some concern that the chinese authority will mainly tighten policy. they will take the foot off the accelerator. most of those things have played out. the net result is that what we are left with is the situation where the dollar is probably starting to lose some appeal. we have just seen the latest central-bank data, which actually shows the reserve bank holdings for the u.s. dollar have fallen below 60%. which is always seen as a bit of a threshold level. people never really thought that the u.s. dollar would be held at less than 60% by major central banks. that has happened, and that is definitely a negative for the u.s. dollar. haslinda: we are looking at oil up by more than 1% right now, but the path ahead could be challenging? mark: definitely. we have probably seen oil prices peak for a wild. the picture on the futures market is bearish. the way in which it has fell

back over the past couple of weeks is a clear sign that people are beginning to short the oil market. as you were saying earlier, opec is talking about increasing production. that does not even take into account that there will be increased shale production from the united states, which is a negative factor for the oil market. if you put all those things together, it's not surprising that the downward pressure and oil will start to find an equilibrium price, which is a bit lower than where we are now. so we may see a midprice of 60 to $55 for west texas oil. we are certainly a little bit above that. we have probably seen the high prices and oil for a while as we look at the futures market. rishaad: you can follow more of mark's musing on marcus live on the bloomberg terminal. realizing that it is a risky business out there. that's part of the first word news with vonnie quinn in new york. >> credit suisse investment

>> the world has to come together to bring the covid pandemic to an end everywhere. and for that to happen, the united states must act and we must lead. there is no country on earth that can do what we can do. both in terms of developing breakthrough vaccines in bringing governments, businesses, and international institutions together, to organize the massive sustained public health effort it will

take to fully end the pandemic. rishaad: nancy baxter at the university of melbourne is here. thank you for joining us. we just heard antony blinken talking about the inoculation program in the u.s. but given the sense of what's going on in australia and getting people immunized. nancy: australia has done an extremely good job in terms of controlling the pandemic. it -- what we are seeing is in a number of jurisdictions where the pandemic is good, the rollout of the vaccine has been slower because there has been urgency to do so. while that is understandable, at some point we have to open up, so we need to get our populations vaccinated. it is putting australia behind, similar to taiwan. taiwan is in a similar situation to australia. slow rollout of the vaccine with good control of the pandemic to date. rishaad: what we look at what's

going on at the moment, it is quite surprising that as of late we have seen the use finding that it is spreading like wildfire in that particular age group. nancy: we know that, although the young don't seem to get as sick from coronavirus, we certainly, unlike what we initially thought, we definitely get it. they are often asymptomatic, but they transmit it. the group that particularly transmits it are our teens. both because they get it in the social nature of their interactions in the multiple people they contact. so we know that children get it, and as more and more people become vaccinated, we have not started vaccinating kids, so that is going to be a reservoir and all of our countries, even if you have a high level vaccine. the children are going to be a reservoir into we have vaccinated them as well. haslinda: you get a feeling that

it is one step forward, one step back, we are seeing renewed lockdowns and virus cases reaching new records for countries like india, for instance. how much of a worry is this? nancy: it's a huge worry. we have been in this for over a year, and various degrees of lockdown. some countries really have never gotten out of some form of lockdown this entire time. so obviously, people are feeling very tired and weary of being locked in. in the government's are really wanting to open up for the economies. so a has happened, and this is in many jurisdictions, there has been an opening up before when the case numbers were low enough. and unfortunately it happened at the time that the new variants have come in. so the b.1.1.7 from the u.k., the south african variant, the brazilian variant are the main

ones people talk about. they are more contagious and they are spreading. they are leading to a resurgence that has been faster than before and also has been worse for younger people. so before you see 16 and 17 -- 60 and 70-year-olds in intensive, now you are seeing 40 and 50-year-olds. everyone is trying to vaccinate as quickly as possible, but we have not vaccinated enough people to make a difference. israel is making a difference and bahrain as well. but in the u.s., despite having this rapid pace of immunization, they have not immunized enough people to have an impact on what they see is a resurgence -- as a resurgence in the past few weeks. haslinda: speaking of a variant, what is the biggest unknown? how do you expect it to play out? nancy: we talked about india and there being a resurgence in india. there is a large number of variant concern there. what they found was an

additional variant, one that seems to have developed in india. so, whenever you have the virus out of control, the virus mutates and changes all the time. but unless there are a lot of cases around, most of the mutations are going to die out, or they are just not going to spread. but if you have the epidemic out of control, these uncommon events are going to happen because so many people have it, and now it will propagate. with coronavirus out of control and various regions in the world, you are just more likely to get these mutations, and eventually one of these mutations -- vaccines are going to be ineffective against it. it's kind of a race. we are trying to get the entire world vaccinated to stop the variants from developing, so we can have a vaccine that works against it. i am concerned that we will just be chasing our tail in terms of developing new vaccines for new variant. what we need to focus on is making sure effective vaccines

are available globally to all countries and all people. rishaad: nancy, we talk about the tragedy of the amount of people who have died, who have contracted coronavirus and been seriously ill. does not forget health systems around the world have been overwhelmed in some places and restrictions have meant that you cannot see a medical practitioner, unless with great difficulty. are we counting the cost of the people who have not got treatment for life-threatening illnesses as a result to come to them? nancy: we are starting to get data now from mortality rates over the past year. people are comparing them to mortality rates in previous years. and what they are finding is that there has been a buck and mortality. the percentage of people dying last year was far greater than any other year. and that seems to be more than the covid related deaths that occurred in places like united states.

maybe because some of the covid cases were undercounted, it almost certainly part of that was because medical diseases were not treated effectively. maybe someone with chest pains did not go into the hospital as soon as they should have or would have in other circumstances, so they avoided going to the hospital and had a massive heart attack that kills them. also in things like cancer care. delays in cancer care can affect the long-term outcome. i think that there are a number of issues that the virus has had on our medical systems, not just in the actual infection itself, but in the repercussions of having the entire medical system focused on one disease. i think we are going to be feeling and seeing that for years. haslinda: nancy, we heard from dr. fauci, saying that perhaps our lives can return back to normal that you need 75%-85% of the population vaccinated on a

global scale. that seems like a mammoth task, if not, impossible. nancy: a mammoth task, yes. an impossible task, no. we have eradicated diseases before in the world and we have controlled them as well. so, i think that, right now we are all thinking about our own countries, that's understandable , we want to protect our own populations. as soon as we have done that we need to broaden our lands and look at the world over. there are lots of examples of where controlled diseases like polio, smallpox, and it has been with extreme effort and coordinate as a and and that's what we have to do. we have to stop thinking about our own countries only, and start realizing that if this pandemic is out of control anywhere, it will be controlled everywhere. again, i can understand why people are focusing on their own

problem and needs of the people that live there, that's understandable, but very quickly, very soon we need to have a much more global view of this. rishaad: nancy, thank you. professor nancy baxter there from the university of melbourne. staying on the pandemic recovery, we heard from the chief executive who said that the travel industry cannot depend on vaccine passports but will need to consider traveler health and test results. he spoke about the return of business travel. >> to what extent business travel will contact -- return to the pre-covid level remains a big question. we think from talking to members from the industry assessment, it's probably going to have a structural change of maybe 20% less, 25% less. haslinda: coming up, the philippines capital is in lockdown as virus cases surge,

turkey, and other places, is certainly not good for the economy. >> do you have any plans to attack the central bank for more loans this year? >> we already have, as i said, over 10 billion u.s. dollars. and you can ask any plans to increase that amount. >> you down. do you think you will ask for an extension or payoff that 540 billion dollar loan from the central bank? >> we will probably look to wind it down sometime late this year or early next year, depending on the situation. >> just to clarify something, it sounds like you are saying you have a little hit to the economic growth. your growth target is 6.5%-7%. how much do you think it might drop, or do you think it's

negligible? >> this lockdown probably will cost us one half of 1%. kathleen: in terms of more borrowing, any plans to borrow in the u.s. dollar bond market? carlos: yes, we will tap the u.s. bond market before rates skyrocket in incidentally we just issued the first ever zero rated summarized bond last week of about 500 million u.s. dollars. kathleen: are you concerned about how much debt is going to go up right now? i think a lot of countries are saying, we have to do this, but are you concerned that it could balloon? do you think the government needs to set a cap on the borrowing? carlos: we have set a cap and it

is 60% of gdp. right now we have 39.5% of gdp. and we have increased it to around 54% as of now. we also keep in mind that the foreign reserves of the philippines are already 110 billion u.s. dollars, and that is actually higher than our total index. kathleen: are you concerned of getting new taxes in the philippines to pay for this? carlos: at this point in time we don't have any plans to introduce new tax measures. although i must say yesterday i spoke to our staff and i said, we have to start thinking of winding down this debt. and by sometime next year we have to look at the potential

revenue sources. so they are working on it right now. kathleen: what do you expect to see with inflation this year? carlos: first of all, we hold onto our target of 2%-4%. right now we are slightly over 4% year to date. i believe the inflation numbers will be announced today. and i am hoping that they show a decline in our inflation rates. we are not using price controls as the only means to hold back prices, but we are actually increasing supply. this is the supply agreement issue. haslinda: that was philippine finance secretary carlos dominguez speaking exclusively to bloomberg's kathleen hays. let's take a look at where markets are now. asia swinging with gains and losses at a positive start. even after u.s. stocks had

exits in the memo also named all associated with risk, the head of credit risk for the investment bank, counterparty credit risk management for the unit, and the head of counterparty hedge fund risk, all tied to a family office implosion called archegos run by a former hedge fund are -- archegos capital, run by a former hedge funder, who had been under examination by the sec on a prior matter related to insider trading. given the implosion of archegos capital and explosion -- exposure of credit suisse, and had caused many and is less -- many analysts to ask if there's a systemic problem in risk management. the moves we are here will be announced shortly and seem to indicate the bank itself also looking at that issue. haslinda: a new to

billion-dollar dollar route of block trades shopped around by the bank, what does that suggest? su: it gets right to the heart of the exposure. those close to the matter say share offerings, large block shares, to the tune of $2.3 billion put out on the market in the latest u.s. session, and we saw the price of the shares drop in extended trading as the news hit that tape. we are told the offerings were large, 30 4 million shares in viacomcbs, 14 million shares of bit shop and 11 million of far-fetched limited also shopped around. this is a fraction of the total amount of block trades that rocked the market the friday before last and into early last week. that reach the size of $20 billion to $30 billion in value. it also raises the question of why credit suisse is behind many of its rivals and seeking to

unload the shares. according to many analysts on the streets, credit suisse was looking at losses which it acknowledged early last week were significant in the range of 3,000,000,000-4,000,000,000 dollars and reuters is reporting the size of the loss could reach $5 billion and that can be announced as early as tuesday, so it looks like tuesday is the date for many of us, to learn so much, that has been speculated on about credit suisse'exposure. haslinda: su keenan in new york. as the full follow-up from archegos capital continues to reverberate, expecting more regulations for family offices. the guggenheim investments chair added he sees equity and bond prices moving higher. >> as long as we continue to expand the size of the fed's

balance sheet, along with global balance sheets, there is more and more fuel, to keep the asset price inflation continuing. so, longer-term, despite any near-term setback we might have, we, we are going to see, i think equity prices significant higher, and bond prices higher, which would mean lower interest rates. emily: what does that mean for all assets? other areas you see pockets of risk overpriced? >> there are number of hotspots. what is europe. europe has been very slow in the vaccination progress. if they continue to drag along, in terms of getting the population vaccinated, i don't think the world is really anticipating the continued slow growth, and repercussions of it.

that also easily could spill over into the emerging markets. and then the other thing that is disturbing, is the incidents we have had around greensill, and long over the last couple of weeks, where we have all this risk, and leverage, built up in the system, which is not transparent. so this really reminds a lot of the days of, you know, at the beginning of the asian crisis. when we had large organizations and hedge funds, like long-term capital, that had excessive amounts of leverage. and out of the blue, there is a margin call. and in the course of that margin call, we get a hard sell off. so, i think for the market, that is the biggest risk probably, over the next 3-6 months. >> do you think we will see a rain again and there will be more regulation coming, scott?

-- reining in, and more regulation coming? >> absolutely in one place i think we'll get more regulation is that spac market. if you look at the estimates provided on the spac accommodations or 'despac'ing', the actual delivery has been dismal relative to what sponsors have advertised. i think that is just one area, along with the private family offices that do not have to report to the sec about how much leverage they have, that is going to cause regulators to become more disciplined. and i think being part of a democratic administration, the biden administration is in favor of that. sonali: i do want to get your

opinion on archegos, we have seen three hiccups, when it comes to leverage in the last 18 months or so. >> i to get is highly likely we are going to have another situation like that. you know, these things when they come, like we are experiencing, where, out of the blue, you hear of some major loss somewhere, they tend to continue to cascade, until the market corrects, and flushes the risk out of the system. so, with the vix now at levels we have not seen in over a year, you know, complacency is rising quite a bit. and ics as being very, very vulnerable to something coming out of the blue that nobody -- and ics as being very vulnerable to something coming out of the blue no one has anticipated. rishaad: scott minerd speaking

their digitization journey is very important. when we talk to 80% of organizations that fast-track, i think are still many customers who are laggards or followers. so we need to help them as well. i see the investment around cybersecurity, i.t. infrastructure, digital experiences, data management, all of these management -- areas will bode well for us. and this is where customers asking us to help them digitize their businesses and make them more resilient for whatever maybe next. rishaad: of course digitization has vastly accelerated because of the pandemic. a lot of it is here to stay. what is here to stay, and what may fall by the wayside? >> yes, i think we are evolving and learning as we go. i think it is safe to say we will never give up work from anywhere flexibility.

i think this is here to stay. even when he go back to offices, there will be flexibility, to be given -- even when we go back to offices, there will be flexibility to be given. we will have sort of rolling attendance at the office. but customers are telling me their employees are looking for the flexibility to work from anywhere. we have learned how to balance our personal life and our work life. work is an activity, not a place. that said, now come if you have an office where some people are in person, and some people are remote, there is a new technology that is needed, to manage those collaborations and that interaction, and that is what we are nibbling as well. -- we are enabling as well. in terms of security this becomes more important. what we did last year, was we did it fast and that we are doing it right. from that perspective, building out the security framework, data

bigger issue. what we are hearing from customers is, they want to make sure their carbon footprint is right. that their products are not creating more electronic waste. toward that, we are launching the 2030 minute chuckle, where we -- 2030 moon shot goal where we will recycle one pc for every pc we sell. we will also increase our recyclable and recycled components in our product as well. second, our customers are telling us and we believe our organization should look like what the world looks like, which means diversity. so we have announced 50% of the workforce will be female by 2030, as well as 40% of people managers will be female as well. we want to make sure we are representing the customers and the people that we are serving. so these two things are becoming very important, and have a multiyear journey ahead of us.
