Whatever it takes a moment. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.720 Carlos Casanovo with Union Bank Care Purvey says further market 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.920 fluctuations should be expected. Still, Goldman Sachs upgraded its forecast 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.440 for China's economic growth this year and next. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.039 Well, we want to turn to company news now, Nathan, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.000 a successful operation for Elon Musk's space X and Bloomberg's 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.760 John Tucker is here with the details. And John, they 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.800 executed a pretty complicated landing procedure. What's going on? 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.080 It was quite a sight. One of the boosters on 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.200 the Starnship rocket care and successfully flew back to the 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.720 launch site.

This allows the 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.880 rocket to be reused in future missions. The launch taking 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.640 place from SpaceX's star based facility in Bokachka, Texas. Recovering 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:20.320 Starship's booster after launch was a crucial milestone as SpaceX 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.560 ready is the rocket for commercial operations.

Boeing's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg's hinting more dramatic 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.400 action might be needed to get the company back on track. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.920 It is on track for its worst annual performance since 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.279 the two thousand and eight financial crisis. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.760 Well, it's where Nathan.

That's three straight shutouts to the Dodgers, third 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.880 team to ever do that in the postseason, thirty three 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.719 consecutive scoreless innings, a period where they've outscored the Pandres 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.199 and now the Mets twenty three to nothing. Mets made 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:18.240 the surprising decision to start the NLDS with Coda Icenga. 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.800 He'd only pitched five innings all season. They did it again. 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.079 It didn't go well. 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.960 So you gave up two runs in the first inning 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.920 another in the second when Carlos Mendoza stuck with him. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.319 Is this some of the treacky decisions here, you know, 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.719 where you pull him too early, where you know I 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.040 felt like he was one, especially after he got that 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.160 pop up. You know, with the bases loaded, he was 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.360 one one hitter away from getting out of that inning. 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.240 Months he got him with a single, and then he 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:46.920 went back out there and gave up another one. 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.000 Mendoza starts Sean Minaya.

In fifty four minutes 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.680 after the Borough run a thirty yard TD scampered by 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.839 Cincinnati's Chase Brown. The Bengals won seventeen to seven.

Bloomberg Sports carry eth. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.720 Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.719 and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.120 Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:56.680 Good morning. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.600 I'm Nathan Hager. It is no holiday for the presidential race. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.679 Twenty two days until the election day, and the contest 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.600 between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump appears tighter than ever. 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.120 Former President maybe trying not to jinx it here, he 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.480 was at a rally in Prescott, Arizona last night. 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.920 I think the polls are wrong about a lot of things, 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.040 although I don't want to say that now because we're leading, 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:19.880 so let's leave them. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.480 I Meanwhile, the Vice president is ribbing Trump for not 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.240 releasing his medical records after she put out hers, and 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:29.640 she's calling out Republicans for misinformation around the hurricane response. 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.600 Let's get more on the state of the race. 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:31.800 Now. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.839 We are joined by Bloomberg News Managing editor Derek Wallbank. Derek, 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.520 good morning. There is a powerful tool on the Bloomberg terminal. 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.280 It can give you a snapshot of the presidential race 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:45.959 WSL election Go on the terminal. It shows Kamala Harris 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.040 ahead by about a point, maybe two points in the 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.400 polling averages, but in the betting markets, Trump is starting 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.199 to show a pretty significant lead. What does that tell 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.040 us about where things stand with just about three weeks. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.319 To go, Nathan, You're right, there has been a divergence, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.000 and a lot of what it is diverging on is 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.079 some state based polls. I think the betting markets have 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:13.160 been far more responsive to the idea of state based 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.280 polls that maybe your biggest polling aggregators might not go 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.640 for so much because there may be from more Republican sources. 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.480 And so there has wound up being a little bit 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.520 of a divergence there. But I mean, look, you can 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.360 see a lot of this sort of thing take its 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.000 place throughout a lot of different trades, right you know, 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.199 the Mexican peso is a great example of this. You know, 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.920 Donald Trump's own listed company is a great example of this. 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.480 There are any number of ways that people are right 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.959 now betting the election right the way around the world, 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:51.079 and that is, you know, if you're telling a lot 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.960 of traders right now that the best way to figure 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.480 out their chances of who's going to win is to 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.599 take a quarter out of your pocket and flip it 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.280 up and see where it lands. People don't like that. 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.120 They want a little bit more certainty. But look, Nathan, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:06.839 this is a coin flip election, is it not? 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.120 Seems to be at this point. I mean, how much 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.600 is the level of concern on the Kamala Harris side 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.719 about how things are breaking for her, particularly when we're 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.280 hearing from former President Obama on the stump sort of 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:25.640 calling out black men in particular for showing some reticence 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.160 around her. And we just got an announcement from the 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.760 Harris campaign this morning of a new program she's proposing 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.400 aimed specifically at black entrepreneurs. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.000 Well, I think you know, Saturday Night Live parodied this 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:43.480 and their Kamala Harris character was basically saying, how am 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.400 I tied with this guy? And I do think that 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.400 there is some some view among you know, maybe Democrats 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.360 right now who are sitting there saying, like you know, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.040 there have been a lot of stories that come out, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.560 a lot of things that have come out about Donald 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:59.320 Trump and reinforced about him. They don't paint him in 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.240 the most attract active light some of the things that 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.920 you've said in recent weeks. And there is a certain 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.800 concern that Harris has gotten up to parody with Trump. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.120 It has not been able to take that and put 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.840 it into a defined lead. Yes, there might be a 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.200 slight lead in the national poll averages, but U, I 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.480 and everyone else knows that's not how the United States 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.440 elects a president. It is the electoral college. You are 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.680 looking at these seven key swing states and there has 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.680 not really been a big sort of gap. This is 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:33.120 part of why Harris and her vice presidential pick Tim 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.040 Walls are going to be spending so very much time 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.920 this week in this sort of blue wall Midwestern Russ 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:46.240 Belt states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. At the end 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.640 of it, I fully expect Kamala Harris will know what 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.960 her favorite Detroit coney dog is because you will have 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:56.360 been to Michigan so very very much. And look, when 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.200 you're talking about individual segments of the electorate. Right at 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.600 some point, when it's this close, every little bit counts. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.480 And so if you're talking about a segment of the 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:12.720 electorate like black men who overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, but 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:17.120 maybe are not polling as voting as much for Harris 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.120 as they might have for Obama or Biden or insert 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.840 other people here, then yeah, if you sit there and 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.440 you say sixty five percent support, we focus on that, 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.240 We get it up to seventy percent support. That becomes 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.680 real numbers, especially in places like Detroit, especially in places 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:33.520 like Philadelphia. 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.280 This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.320 making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.000 Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.440 Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.520 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.200 am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.160 in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:59.160 Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 0:16:59.400 --> 0:16:59.960 XM Channel. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.040 Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:08.080 now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces, and don't forget. 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.920 To subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
