a anytime. while the economy is not boyn't, it's not where it was. erik: and consumer confidence not like this in a while. what does that suggest? >> it suggests economists have been missing these numbers for months now. as a matter of fact, the bloomberg economic index is at its lowest since 2009. rich: a little too much optimism. admitedly i'm bearish on the economy. and you're an economist. rich: yes, bob and i shared the stage a bit ago, and i still -- i'm still negative on it. erik: why is that happening? investors complain, particularly in fixed income that it's so hard to invest and others are in the market making

distorting prices. is it similarly difficult for economists to figure out this because we are on unchartered territory? rich: yes, i don't think we've ever seen a chinese deceleration pore what we are told, anyway. >> probably declerting but to what extent? we do not know yet. rich: look, you don't need to be an economist to know this is not going to end well. if you see a 500-pound man on the street corner smoking a cigarette and eating a box of doughnuts, do you need to be a doctor to say, wow, that's not going to end well? no. to pinprick the bubble -- erik: you said it. i didn't. >> bob, do you agree with that?

are we going to see another teverer tantrum? bob: i wouldn't be surprised. we have nominal growth, real plus inflation and running 4%. that's not consistent with a 10-year treasury at 2. so my guess is the whole infrastructure rate has to move up to more acceptable levels, and that could cause some people in the bond market to get scared for a minute or two and that would not be good for stocks. stocks being at an all-time high is amazing given all we have talked about. erik: so how sit, 21.18, the dow is at 18,229 yet you and some other people, rich included expect things are going to have to change and perhaps sooner than later. bob: well, it's a goldie locks economy. the bears and bulls are

frustrated with the economy and we are muddling along. this week we got some not so good numbers and next week we will probably get some good numbers. the unemployment numbers indicate the economy is making modest forward progress. that's a beautiful thing. >> what do you think was the key driver of the bond selloff and why do you think it's sort f abating right now? bob: my view is as long as the german bund was selling at that yield, nothing was going to happen until that move. now, i think the deflation narrow numbers in europe got over done. as it looks like they will not go into a big, black hole, somebody woke up and said, you know, i don't think zero makes sense and they quickly moved it up to 70 basis points providing a framework for the entire

one is brook detail. as the filing came out and the filings will be coming out throughout the day. also star wood hotels. you can see brook detail taking a stake in pinnacle foods. stake in has a 4.2% there and cooperman's omega humana is a company where he is taking a stake. as always, olivia, when we talk about these we have to give a couple of caveats. what were the holdings as of that single day? at the end of the quarter? so it is potentially a little backward-looking. nevertheless people still try whether he algorithm

they are really people or the computers programmed. olivia: still to come on "bloomberg market day," hundreds of thousands of graduates will try to enter the market for the first time. we have advice from a top recruiter. and when a bd light isn't good enough. we're looking at the rise of craft brews in the u.s. and at is 1:30 a.m. we have the billionaire cofounder of home depot tells us if he still supports chris christie even as he still plummets in the polls. that's ken langone. and the president promised to defend allies in the region concerned about a nuclear deal with iran. >> the united states will stand by our d.c.c. partners against external attacked and will

deepen and extend the cooperation we have when it comes to the many challenges that exist in the region. olivia: the president stopped just short of offering the type defense guarantee offered allies such as japan and in turn got no formal framework of a nuclear pact with iran. so was the meeting a success? joined by sandy berger the president's national security advisor and the former u.s. ambassador to bahrain. one of the countries attending the summit. sandy, let's start with you. the goal of this meeting was to get arab support for the iran nuclear deal. was the summit a success? >> i think it got over a low bar, olivia. the arabs wanted a stronger security guarantee from the united states and what they

principally wanted is more active american opposition to iran's activities in the region. they got strong language. strong language from the president. i think they tried to explain to the president clearly that their real concern is iran's behavior and they are concerned this nuclear agreement will open up a reapproachment between the united states and iran. on the u.s. side i think the united states would like support for the nuclear agreement by the gulf countries and they can get qualified support and ultimately will support it. so i think a worth wild meeting. but it certainly did not achieve a break through in any respect.

olivia: all right. perhaps a step back but ultimately the president announced he was going to have this meeting with nuclear leaders. the goal instead of saudi arabia to think they don't need to have their own nuclear deterrent. keeping in mind the king himself didn't actually come from saudi arabia, himself, that president obama was successful in convincing them that they didn't need build their own nuclear deterrent and could rely on the u.s.? >> that will depend on what kind of actions the united states takes in helping defend saudi arabia and protecting them from the threat they see coming from across the persian gulf from iran. if we are robust in our response to concerns, then i

think saudi's feeling of security as a deterrent is a success -- in turn regional conflicts. they are going to continue doing what they are doing which is take more responsibility for their security and go it alone which frankly i think the administration has been troubled by. olivia: what do you think, sandy? sandy: well, the iran deal takes off the table one piece of the threat in the region. it takes the stinger, the nuclear stinger out of iran. it does not eliminate the iran threat. iran continues to be a threat to the region in terms of its destabilizing activities in yemen, in lebanon. but still what it's doing in syria and other parts of the region. so the way the president needs

o cast is so say we've put the iran nuclear threat aside. that's now taken care of. we have not, however, lost sight of the fact that we have other concerns about syria and we intend to be with you in dealing with those stressors. this is not the beginning of a u.s.-iranian reapproachment unless iran changes. there's no evidence of that. we could hope for that. but you know, there's the iran a president errani, which is the one who and runs the revolutionary guard and helping the others in yemen. so we have to be clear that all these other disputes are more dangerous if iran has a nuclear weapon. olivia: and also that general

sulaimonny likely in charge of the provocative warning shot we keep seeing being fired at international vessels off the coast of iran. adam, one thing that was actually agreed upon and constructive was an agreement to help arab allies develop defense against bo listic missiles. that can't be going down well in tel-aviv. >> i'm not so sure about that. frankly, i think in many ways both israel and countries of the gulf share a common interest in protecting themselves against iranian missile threats, so i wouldn't necessarily assume that. two other points of why i think this summit was important. and historic. a, it's the first time the leaders of the g.c.c. meet with the united states. we have been trying to do that for five or six years. one of the big reasons it

happened this time is because the g.c.c. and the six countries of the gulf have finally patched up a lot of internal differences and can meet as a group with an american president and the second thing is what the president said about speeding up arm strengths first to the countries of the gulf. look, if you're a foreign companies ing to buy from the united states, it takes a lot of -- and i hope the administration follows through on this. olivia: thank you so much adam moreli. and sandy berger. coming up the job market this month's college grads are facing and the big difference between today and 20 years ago. ♪

full-time job his first year out with health care? not what their baby boomer parents remember. i spoke with our guest explaining some of the differences. >> i think the single most important change is they have a far greater responsibility to chart their future professionally than their parents ever dreamed of. there's not the expectation that you walk into a company and walk out with a gold watch 35-40 years later. big difference in who owns your career. olivia: yes. gone are the days you can expect to walk into general mills and walk out 40 years later. >> i think it makes sense to start your entry point in a professional business that can teach you what it means to be a professional. because most of the times you don't know what being a

professional is all about. so i'd start there. then, i think you want to have a bunch of inning throw spective moments. where is the future going? you have to have some point of view about what's going to matter in the future. then you have to have honesty about you and what are you good at? what do you like? and hopefully there's some intersection between what you like and what you're good at. then you have to accumulate skills. everyone talks about the war for talent but my view is it's a permanent campaign constantly to be figuring out how the gain the right skills and how the move fast? you have got to be agile. olivia: for recent graduates, think of yourself as a startup but i supposed they certainly are in the red the first two years. my thanks to judy -- jody
