6:04 am
about the plaza accords and you talked about how brazil called for the u.s. is doing with the dollar currency war. currency is power. china has the reserves to manage its own currency. they are doing this in theory a market from the move but they are doing it because they have the power. tom: it is the $1 million question. how far along do they need to go to some form of normalization? they want to know that in singapore and washington. brandon: once it is normalized, is it going to go both directions in the future? that is real market reform. tom: an historic day. glad you are with us worldwide. we go to beijing. a seismic shift that reverberates across all of asia. china throws in the reserve currency towel. it appears they were moved to a managed flow. we need to go to hong kong and our chief asia economics correspondent. will this boost chinese exports? >> look, good morning. they seem to be killing two
6:05 am
birds with one stone. on the one hand, it has -- a reform process. they want the currency to be more international. on the other hand, there exporters are creaking under the pressure of weakening currency -- like the euro zone. this will not be a game changer for exporters but it will help. tom: our skyscraper in hong kong is in the shadow of hsbc's bank. is the ramifications this morning in hong kong that this is a new bout of a currency war? at the very least it is a currency skirmish. we will do not know if it is a full-blown war for a few more days. we need to. move is not going to be a game changer. whether that will follow through, then we know more. earlier.nailed it this is the heart of the men appeared what happens tomorrow is more important. they arewe know

willing to let depreciate. what sense do we have politically from the chinese government they will let it float, move up and down this market demands? they have not given a firm signal but there is one counterpart. china has a problem with capital outflow now. if they weaken the currency, it may trigger -- the money to leave the country at a time when they do not need that to happen. so, they have got be very careful. tom: thank you. curran joining us from hong kong. we will have them on in the coming days. wasdon: briefly, nomura with us yesterday and wrote a long note about this. capital flight so far from china is very limited. we are looking at foreign banks that have pulled assets out. we talked about capital flight, but not a current reality. tom: 10 years on from july 2005 when china unpegged their

6:08 am
is this going to have a long-term effect on production in the u.s.? michael: it is hard to say because a lot of the reshoring, which has been small, has been for reasons independent of the currency. i think it remains to be seen, but politically it is going to be a challenge. julie: something else i was looking at this morning is what it is going to mean for suppliers that are based in china, speaking to the factory question. a lot of the contracts are priced in dollars anyway. won't that mean the impact is muted? michael: a lot of pricing to market for final goods and the u.s.. that is why the u.s. has seen much lower paths. that is going to be the impact but that will not be the impact on washington. tom: now we need to go to a china authority from london this morning. jonathan -- his must read this morning is "will china dominate the 21st century?"
6:09 am
writing on france and china across many decades. john, wonderful to have you with us this morning. on this historic note. what was your reaction when you saw the chinese blank? john: the first reaction was they have gone the wrong way. they are trying to weaken the currency to boost up growth. and actually the affects of a 2%, such as we have seen on overall growth is pretty small and china for all kinds of reason. my second reaction was maybe the reformers are playing a clever game. and they are using the economic weakness of china and the perceived advantage which would not be all that great from currency weakening to actually theetise the yuan, to give market and the 35 banks which ingl be doing thelate day fix much more say over where the currency fixes. if that happens, we are in for interesting period as to whether the reformers stick with it or
6:10 am
whether they are pushed back into the old controls. tom: what you are so good at within your literature is the distances between shanghai, hong kong, and beijing. how will this change the domestic calculus of china's financial system? jonathan: i think the financial systems and is under strain because of the stock market commotions we have seen recently. and financial reform is going to go slowly. but there are certainly a lot of people in beijing, planners, who see a more flexible currency as a way of bringing pressure to bear on the domestic financial system in these shape of reform. governmente chinese has been struggling with three priorities. one is to let the economy rebalance toward consumption. two stimulate the economy and three is to bringto -- to gain greater acceptance for their financial reforms. which of these do you see out front this morning? jonathan: the third.
6:11 am
we have got to see what the reaction is. what the reaction is some other asian countries, do the japanese devalue further and what the reaction is from the fed? this will further strengthen the dollar. julie: and what do you make of the timing of this, i'm curious. we are about a month and a half out from the next potential fed decision. so, why now? what do you make of that timing? jonathan: i think it is because of, we go back to the domestic issue here. it is because of the weakening of the economy which i think is clearly, has taken on much more downward push than the leadership had expected. this is a small move. this is not going to have a huge effect. and i think the chinese think they can get away with this, basically. tom: thank you so much. i cannot say enough about fenby's "will china dominate the 21st century?" brandon: when i takeaways that

google. sundar: larry and i worked together for many, many years, the goals to divide and conquer, if you will, and i spent a lot of time thinking about the next phase of innovation, and larry works with me on that. julie: the restructures should give investors a better idea of how google's many endeavors are doing, and it could take the way for more spin off and/or acquisitions. greece finally strikes a deal to get the bailout money desperately needs. way forement clears the $94 billion in loans. the government says a few details must be worked out with creditors. greece needs that money soon. a payment from the european central due nine days from now. it is called a new front in cybercrime. u.s. authorities broke up an insider trading rain that used -- ring that used hackers to steal.

7:04 am
we begin with our beijing bureau chief nicholas watt. how will this affect the rest of china and particularly job formation that is so important to the government? nicholas: they talk about this being a real push for market reform, so if they are really allowing the market to play a greater role, that is certainly something that could boost jobs. they couch this whole thing in the language of market reform, but if everything time it is a one-time thing, and the exchange rate will remain basically stable, so a lot of time needs to pass before we can really understand what the government's true intentions are. brendan: is it managed, or is it floating? do we know yet? do have a, they still fixing each day, and they only trade withinn to
7:05 am
2% of that fixing rates, so they have not given of the fact that they are basically going to still keep a pretty close eye on this currency. i really would not expect to see any more depreciation after this. they did say in a statement when they announced the depreciation that this was a one-time thing, so i do not expect to see the yuan fluctuate too much after this. julie: nick, what is the signal to us about the current state of the chinese economy? government regulators have are employed various measures. does this give us a read on the desperation level there? i mean, when you look at the export numbers, we had exports on the weekend, and they were really that. exports down more than 8%. you drill down to the some of those numbers, europe down 2%, youn down 10% here mentioned currency wars -- i mean, this is going to be great for chinese exports. when you talk about market reforms, you have to look at where the rubber meets the road.
7:06 am
what action will they take when the move is not align with their interests so much? a marketsay it is reform, but it has been helping them out a lot in terms of brain down the price of exports. tom: from bloomberg news, nick wadhams in beijing. ramifications and dynamics are many. your first indication, mr. rosenberg, this is a huge deal. what does it mean for american investors? uest: you look at the reaction in the bond market, and it is a risk-off move. to sometestament concern around the global growth picture that china coming after the x or data is making the move on the currency, a lot of ramifications, i think the initial concern is what this is the saying about global growth?
7:07 am
part of, and aa big part even before today's news, about a deflationary fear. global commodity prices, you see it in something that happened last your with the slowdown in china, the collapse in iron ore prices. oila contributes to the , but from the demand-side overall, particularly in the month of july, we saw a big increase in to play shery fears. this will only -- in deflationary fears. this will only feed into it. brendan: can we get jeffrey rosenberg a victory lap? 2015,eading july 31, market shares from blackrock, china's latest exports, deflation. part of your job is to play armchair psychologist with the chinese government to figure out why they are doing what they are doing. when you look at various motivations for this move, do
7:08 am
you see international respect for the redmond ds part of the motivating factor, or is it really the stimulus -- for the renminbi as part of the motivating factor, or is it really the stimulus? jeffrey: it is certainly linked to the value of the dollar, and what we have seen in the last year is a sickness in global's pending in the value of the dollar. for the u.s. economy, that make makes sense. u.s. economy, we can debate, and i should am sure we will debate china, it is going the other direction. certainly it is not the level of growth, it is direction that it is slowing much faster than many people anticipated, than perhaps the chinese government would like, so the policy settings are misaligned between having tighter monetary policy vis-à-vis the linkage to the dollar versus whether domestic economy needs. what this morning is about is a recognition of that, really a
7:09 am
recognition of something that had been priced in the currency, spot levels of the proposed -- as opposed to the fixing to the fixing level to match with the market has been saying for some time, that you needed a weaker level of currency given the economic fundamentals in china. julie: jeff, i am looking at my bloomberg terminal at the fed fund futures, 40% of a chance of a move in a september right now. does this change the calculus in the fed at all? jeffrey: a little bit on the margin if you look at how the probabilities are adjusting this morning. you're seeing a little lower level of an interest rat. not so much in thee -- rate. not so much in the decline of fedex rotations. -- ofs much more of the the fed expectations. that is much more. tom: the curve is flattening outside. what does that signal to stanley fischer in janet yellen? jeffrey: they will talk about
7:10 am
international developments, and international developments raise their concerns to such a degree, that it might reduce their odds. tom: are you saying september sale, or can i make some news with you this morning and go to december? september is still on the table. what stan fischer said to you yesterday is important. the u.s. economy is less sensitive to the rest of the world and the rest of the role is to the u.s. economy, so it has to be a bigger move for them. certainly this will be on their radar. off a bit off the opec news. it is like october this morning. brendan: there is a greece deal, and it is our third story.

" i am brendan greeley with tom keene. we have discovered a new drift. bloomberg is announcing that hackers stole press announcements and then quietly traded on them. us from washington. i'm trying to figure out the mechanics of this. is this what they call a zero-day hack, or was this a really clever idea? we do not actually know how they hacked the servers, but we do know it is a real clever idea. what they did is targeting the companies, the fortune 100 companies that companies use to release numbers
7:35 am
including earning financials and other numbers. they got in the servers, they watched, they waited to see what kind of breaking news was about to come, they traded on the news, and over a period of four years, five years, made about $30 million. it was a good idea. brendan: how do you roll up an organization like this? you know so much about the forensics of this. let's say we noted a suspicious moments in these equities -- where you go from there to figure out who is doing what? mike: the interesting thing about this is in securities fraud hacking, although this has some advantages to the hackers, you do not have to have a network of contacts, you do not people in wallep street, you do not have to pay millions of dollars in bribes. advantagessent for law enforcement, you have to not only hack, which in be a very hard thing to track, but you also trade, and essentially that creates markers that the sec and others can watch. that is exact what happened
7:36 am
here. they traded in a relatively short period of time to make money on these announcements, so these numbers are loaded up less than 24 hours in advance. powerful oureally rhythm sphere to use those algorithms to spot a pattern of suspicious trades. they start with the guys making betrayed and work backwards. there were five arrests in georgia and pennsylvania this morning. julie: mike, what is the sophistication level like of the authorities. ? ourmentioned the sec rhythms. we are seeing almost an unlimited ability on the part of hackers. how are the regulators at catching up to the hackers? mike: this will be a really hard marketolve from an sec enforcement point of view. think about it, insider trading, you used to have to worry about a small set of actors who had a lot of contacts on the street and in companies. now you can have the cfo of a
7:37 am
company and his e-mail address. newswire, likepr these guys did. whocan hack somebody collects information, a secretary, and put these things together. it offers you a huge range of targets, and it gives you exactly the information you need because the company itself is putting together these numbers before they are releasing them. brendan: mike, this is fascinating that they hacked prnewswire because there is so much focus on cyber theory for government contractors, they found a weak link, which is asked ordinary. this was not as hard and of a of his orsome their organizations to what links are out there that are not being publicly talked about? mike: that if the problem, as soon as you target one, you can go to the next one. these hackers operated for four years to five years. think about that. undetected. clearly the ability of the realize that these
7:38 am
hackers were in the system was pretty lowes -- these companies to realize that these hackers and the system were pretty low. s e-mails,t into cfo' and box it will be real hard to shut it down. hackers let's say the were in ukraine. the fbi only started working with russian authorities to identify hackers about a decade ago. how good is our ability right now to work with other countries to extradite and at least chase them down? in some countries, it is very good curate in eastern europe and russia, it is not very good at all. it depends on where ukraine they are. if they are in the russian side of ukraine, which is likely, they will have a very hard time getting hold of these guys. so they can identify them, but that is a whole different thing than arresting them. brendan: all right, mike riley,

7:50 am
bonds are different than equity historically, and bond markets s operated as principal markets, which means the intermediaries operated with their own capital at risk as they were providing equity. oppose financial crisis, this becomes much more problematic because we want to take the financial systemic risk out of the broker-dealers. we do not want them to have proprietary trading. sometimes there is a fuzzy line between principal trading and proprietary trading. comment is at that that agency-like models, more equity-like models where the intermediary is matching buyer and seller rather than putting their own capital at risk is more of the way of the future, more of a balanced approach between agency and principal trading for having liquidity in the bond market. brendan: from your perspective, you can say that, but that is such a huge shift. to that for the equity market, decades of regulations, concerned by market actors -- how does this come about, this change? jeffrey: it is really about the
7:51 am
structure of the bond market. one thing we talk about in the piece is what is the impediment toward moving toward more of an agency-like model? why can you have an agency model in equities more than in bonds? one of the biggest issues is that bonds were always issued in a very scatter-shop matter. you have a bond over here, a bond over here, and overtime you blew up the capital' structure so that all of the bonds were different or think about stocks, one share stock is the same as 10 shares of stock. one media step is to try to rationalize the issuing side of bonds so you can greater fungibility that will be a pathway toward greater agency trading. as we are seeing, it is not a wholesale shift, but there are some meaningful iterations here that could improve market liquidity with market structural changes. tom: jeff, i spoke with alan greenspan yesterday, and he is
7:52 am
incredibly vital at 89 years old, 90 in march. he made moves by saying there is a bond bubble. you are in the trenches of this. do you agree with dr. greenspan? jeffrey: we had this debate years ago when people were first experimenting with zero interest rates, and i get the question all the time about the bubble. i called it the anti-bubble. a bubble is about excessive exuberance, to quote the man himself. it is about the expectation of higher prices -- tom: but will we see turbulence here? jeffrey: that is a different question. turbulence and bubble is not necessarily the same thing, and the expectation of turbulence should be very clear because what a zero interest rate policy and quantitative easing globally interest-rate volatility. he removed the blanket of a zero interest rates and quantitative easing, and you see the volatility rise. we have artie seen this this
7:53 am
year, and we will see more of that going forward, so the expectation of higher volatility in financial markets, higher volatility on a bond market, it should clearly be on investors' minds. tom: will we go under 2% again with the 10-year yield with this inflationary and close -- deflationary impulse we see out of china? jeffrey: the movement of interest rates can go both ways, that is what volatility means, so the year and forecast on the 2.50, the higher volatility means you can swing both directions and certainly develop in a much more negative fashion. staying below to percent is a possibility. 2% is a- staying below possibility. julie: let's go to our twitter question of the day. will china's devaluation help its economy? china'st answer -- if devaluation help boost their exports, we had achieved oil, now we will have cheap chinese goods. that is what we have been talking about, exporting devaluation. you neil dutta,
