imaging advantage is using the cloud to transform radiology as we know it. here is their ceo and chairman, naseer hashim. thank you for joining us. the real revolution is that if i move to los angeles, god forbade, and visit a new doctor, i can get all of these images, or he or she can access them instantly by the cloud. >> that is exactly right. that is nearly impossible today. even if i wanted to go down the street where i live to get my images three or four weeks ago -- in fact, i went to the dentist to get my x-rays. he did not have them. he had to retake them. costly but this is a significant amount of radiation. having this in the cloud for people who need health care on an emergency basis is critical and is not available today. matt: why not?
8:18 am
it seems like a no-brainer. why does not everyone do this? >> that is a great point. people always ask me why do i have to wait two days for my results? why do i have to get testing done again? so expensive, i do not even know how much the imaging costs? this is the fundamental structural problem of health care. ofo not want you to think there are individual players making it more complex. it is a $2.9 trillion industry. it is incredibly regulated and being practiced the same way it was 50 years ago. radiology is almost identical in the way the patient goes into the room, the scan is taken, and the radiologist reads the tests. most hospitals have one or two doctors. the hospitals are not interconnected.
8:19 am
erik: why just radiology? includeexpanding to more types of medical records? >> first of all, not today. we are very focused on the $20 billion industry where we are at the early stages of it. part it seems it should be of a more comprehensive solution to this medical records problem. >> the technology we have deployed would work for other areas. emergency departments as well. to prove the concept on a large scale in one area. we have been successful in radiology. we do not want to de-focus because if you start to do three or four different sectors of health care, you will not get the results we did. matt: you mentioned regulation. i wonder if there are some other
8:20 am
types of concerns. every time i go to a doctor, i have to sign a million documents saying they are allowed to look at my blood test results. an important concern . we are regulated by them and any kind of transmission over the internet. we are in the departmental of defense. we are protected by the dod and fda standard. we are very safe and secure in terms of transmitting data. erik: how is it that your company, imaging advantage, clearly provide a valuable service, has a $1 billion valuation? is there that much money to be made, is there that much a growth opportunity in this industry? >> first of all, thank you for that number. the opportunity is
8:21 am
tremendous, which is why you see companies like google and ibm getting into this. we are at an incredibly early stage of unlocking this complex puzzle of health care. there is $1 trillion of waste in health care today. google's revenues are about 66 billion dollars. so a magnitude of 18 on the waste alone is the opportunity for companies like google. if you look at the entire auto industry, it is about 600 billion. it is almost two times that. even if you say we are worth one billion, it is a small fraction. the cloud computing you are seeing and the supercomputing you are seeing, which we are doing and google and ibm are doing today, when you apply that to a complex industry like health care, we think of it as hyper innovation. it there.ave to leave great having you here.

who is getting the most crowds? aside from the press pack, which is one indicator like animals before a storm, but who is getting the most crowds at the state fair? >> it started yesterday. mike huckabee and martin o'malley were here. eason-sized crowds. another reason candidates, and is that there are lots of people here. people see the cameras and gather around. bernie sanders, donald trump will be here tomorrow. i suspect they will draw the biggest crowds. >> defense has been known to define campaigns in the past. the fortunes of any or all of the 2016 candidates? we check in with doug heye. erik: because hans was on earlier, i have to ask this question. he described the iowa state fair
8:34 am
of the dabbles -- davos of americans state politics. i do not understand the analogy. they are sometimes inscrutable. -- was sayingwith why this anachronistic tradition remains so important. >> it is politics on a stick right now. you can have anything on a stick. but what you see is that it is the premier event in iowa, the first state that will consider all the presidential candidates. this is the opportunity for republicans and democrats to not but alsok on the stump to interact with voters one-on-one, which is crucial in iowa. without the iowa straw poll, which is not happening this year, that makes the iowa state fair even more important. it is a massive event and it is hard to understate how every
8:35 am
candidate has the opportunity in front of voters. how much of what happens in the iowa caucus will tell you what happens in the general election? >> the iowa caucus will not tell you who will win but it winnows down the process. it is like the first round of the ncaa. just because north carolina wins the first round, it does not mean we will win the championship, but we see which teams will not win. this is where we seek candidates drop out. conversely, all the attention is on the republicans because the field is so crowded. by if you're not in the race the time of the iowa state fair, can you still get in the race? over the past couple days, we have learned that possibly al gore is considering a run for the democratic nomination. matt: and possibly joe biden. hear a lot of

uneasiness with hillary clinton's campaign now. this e-mail server situation changes every day. we have been talking about hillary clinton and e-mails since february. it affected her announcement. it would not surprise me to hear joe biden may be taking a second look. the al gore news is brand-new -- erik:'s spokesman denies -- matt: his spokesman from his previous run. it shows there is a real uneasiness with democrats. if there is a hillary implosion -- we do not know if that will happen -- but you look at the poll numbers bernie sanders has now, the crowd sizes he has throughout the country, there is cause for concern. biden, oral gore, joe someone invested in those two, you want to sit pretty in case the implosion happens. it is shocking about bernie
8:37 am
sanders. he is putting up some real poll numbers. in iowa, which does not strike me as a very socialist state. >> iowa is this weird dichotomy. iowa goes both ways when it comes to democrats and republicans. erik: you are the deputy chief of staff to eric cantor. you know the power the tea party can wield. >> it hurts. the republican candidate is marshaling that wing of the conservative vote the best? trump's who everyone is talking about. the more interesting thing is the rand paul versus ted cruz fight. i thought it that whoever emerges victorious from that fight will determine the next 10 years of the republican party. it looks like ted cruz is winning now, but we have a long way to go. a lot of rebates. and rand paul is here to fight.
8:38 am
matt: is in the tea party incredibly fragmented now? you have parts that are libertarian and believe in total freedom and parts who want to control what you do in the bedroom. dichotomy part of the in the rand paul-ted cruz fight. mike huckabee also fighting for those voters. donald trump. have 17 people running for president. also, we have an open seat. we are so easy to take back what we lost in 2008. erik: pleasure talking to you. doug heye, former deputy chief of staff to eric cantor. he also runs the iowa caucus. back torn our attention the turmoil over china's devaluation. ♪
8:42 am
china? the shock devaluation and the ham-fisted efforts to prop up the economy. are we on the outside looking at the wrong data and drawing the wrong conclusions? nicholas lardy's senior fellow at the peterson institute. i want to begin with a specific reference. these are three things people have been zeroing in on on an effort to explain what they think is happening in china. on the one hand, slowing auto sales. in 8% drop we saw in exports july. the collapse of the stock market. skeptics say those are better indicators of what is going on in china. and that explains why the chinese had to devalue the yuan. i am intentionally baiting you. what is really going on? >> of course the economy has
8:43 am
been slowing the last two to three years, but i do not think there is new development that warrants the kind of response we saw this week. the slowing of car sales is tied into the moderation in property sales. there is a high correlation. a lot of new houses in the suburbs where there is no mass transit. when people buy a house, they buy a car. property sales have been moderating quite a bit and is now showing up in car sales. i do not think it is related to stock market developments over the past two months. matt: is it just a bump in the road? generalof ford and motors say they will continue to invest in china because in the longer term, it is still a huge growth prospect. ownershipent of car is still low. it will rise over the medium-term. we may have a few soft quarters,
8:44 am
but i do not think it affects long-term output -- outlook. erik: i know you have taken a instructedna and others that you should not easily with the economy the way it was in the 2000. can you explain why? , industry was's the driver of china's economic growth which was reflected in the high rate of investments. we are moving into an environment where consumption has become the biggest driver of economic growth. money onending more services, education, health, tourism, entertainment. , likeaditional variables industrial output, are not a good proxy for what is happening in the economy. people still look at the industrial data because it is one of the high frequency numbers. we get the data every month. we do not get comprehensive data
8:45 am
on services on a monthly basis -- on a monthly basis. it is only on a quarterly basis. people fall back on the industrial production numbers, and they are weak. they have been offset set in a pickup in private consumption and service sector output. erik: support of the problem is there is not comparable data sets for private consumption, at least regular ones or ones that do not come with a huge time lag. had you help people who look at the factors you said earlier and others like the ghost cities and draw the conclusion that china is somehow a house of mirrors and that the big, official data the chinese government posts -- publishes masks and underlying weakness? i think you have to take a
8:46 am
more balanced approach. focus not just on the industrial sector, which is weak because property investment is therating, but look at all indicators, including what is happening in the service sector. people are saying free to transportation is down dramatically, the economy must eat in negative growth or in extremely low growth. that is because demand for steel is down so they do not need to haul as much coal. passenger freight transport is booming because there is an increase in terrorism. this -- a lot of this occurs on the rail system. what kind of growth do you think china has, relative to the growth in the u.s.? their data are not perfect by any means, but i am of the belief that they are growing roughly around 7%. year as a whole, we will
8:47 am
be in the high sixes, low sevens. i do not think there is a big discontinuity here and i do not think the stock market correction will have much effect on real economic activity. the share of the population that has exposure to the equity market is only about 10%. we will not see a big wealth effect. erik: will kind of conclusions do we draw about the way the economy is being managed, when receiving chinese respond to the selloff in the stock market by imposing ciccone and draconionns -- restrictions. in the devaluation no one seems to think was well-managed. >> the intervention in the stock market is regrettable. they have interfered in the stock market going back decades. this occasion was worse. i think it is regrettable. prices bed let
8:48 am
determined by supply and demand rather than intervention. on the other hand, i do not think the change in the exchange rate mechanism is shockingly mismanaged. you do not announce a change like that in advance. you have to do that without warning, otherwise you have chaos in the markets. i know it is not perfect, but if we compare it to quantitative easing here, as practiced eye and by and why the ecb the bank of japan, there was plenty of notice. it was not a surprise that the fed again to -- began to buy bonds. it was a question of when, not if. >> exchange markets are different from the connotative easing you're talking about. look at what the swiss national bank did. they did not send out advanced notice, they just did it. in the foreign exchange market, you have to do it -- that is the
8:49 am
what you have to do it. we are moving into a more stable period. we have some depreciation. but i do not think this move was intended to prop up the economy. >> and not a refection -- a reduction of japan. reflection of japan. >> i do not think so. the imf report came out last week. you will see the chinese move this week. >> thank you for spending time this friday. nicholas lardy is a senior fellow at the peterson institute. thank you. matt: let's take a look at futures. we could end of the week little -- the if the market stock market comes down a little today. 1% in up about 3/10 of

this. there are more and more people who can find pretty much all they need on tv, from netflix and amazon and hulu. , ifou are a tv program or you have sports or a hit show that people cannot live without, you are any good position. erik: quickly, before we run, we have been talking about cord cutting and un-bundling is a real possibility for a couple of years already. is this selloff and media stocks an obstacle for apple? if companies like disney and 21st century fox and cbs have to be recognizing that this now presents real risk for their companies and their ability to generate earnings and revenue going forward. >> you hit the nail on the head. it is more competitive. the bread-and-butter is hardware
9:09 am
and iphones. it is a little bit of an uphill battle, but it does speak to the headwinds they have in competition as they move in. there was a lot of focus on what the next step is. erik: thank you very much. the managing director at sbr capital markets. -- fbr capital markets. matt: with oil near six-year lows, wire producers turning off this they get? producers turning off the spigot? ♪

going lower from here. he is with us from our washington bureau. why do you say $29 per barrel? too highices have been to push down on u.s. production. be $40 or $42 for a couple of quarters or could fall even deeper -- even steeper than that for a shorter period of time to begin to really impact u.s. production. one of the things that some prognosticators failed to foresee where the subsequent collapses in drilling costs. how much longer can that continue? is there not a floor for drilling costs? jim: a lot depends on the price of oil. if the price of oil continues to , it is a pretty
9:14 am
simple relationship. the lower oil prices are, that tends to drive down costs. that is one of the big developments we have seen this year. the cost of developing new oil supply globally. i've heard incredibly shrinking figures on how much it costs to put a shale oil well in the ground. how cheap is it to produce oil what is the threshold? jim: for some of the best wells. matt: four shale, how cheap is it? jim: you do not get a lot of shale from marcella's. you are looking at the best places, particularly in south
9:15 am
texas, it may be 30-30 five dollars. demand dictated where market prices go. we believe that oil is a reasonably open market. one of the factors affecting demand, which is not something people talk that much about these days is the shift to electric cars. it is not affecting demand much right now. the oil side think it is going to take a long time before electric cars you into demand, but people on the technology side, the optimists in silicon valley think it is around the corner. what do you say? jim: electric cars are a fun and exciting topic. battery costs have come down. electric cars of a very interesting future long-term, but that is a bit of a distraction for the oil market, at least in terms of looking at the next 5-10 years. the bigger impact today and in
9:16 am
the next several years ahead are rising fuel economy standards around the world. that has a much bigger impact on demand today and in the years ahead. electric vehicles are very exciting and very interesting. matt: thanks a much for joining us today. jim burkart there. i want to quickly get over to julie hyman. industrial production numbers were out that are better than expected. julie: twice as high as economists estimated. in july. the number was revised lower for june to just 0.1% gain. capacity utilization coming in in line with estimates at 78%. 0.8% inproduction up july after falling in june.

9:20 am
matt: when it comes to company pay, usually the boss gets the biggest paycheck. not so when it comes to jpmorgan. the head of the corporate and investment bank took home almost $8 million in cash salary last year. the bloomberg paid team crunched the numbers. dimon, $1.5amie million is a cab ride for the guy. he got paid a hell of a lot more than that.
9:21 am
you are talking about simple salary. >> exactly. the u.s. rules, daniel pinto cost salary was $7.4 million. pinto is based in the u k and eu rules have shunted the side bonuses, the cash bonuses. what they are calling his cash fixed allowance has been moved into a salary column in the u.s. erik: cash fixed allowance. a euphemism for salary? >> the euphemism for bonus. matt: pushed into a salary. regulators have limited what he can receive in bonus. >> it is one of the situations where the rules have been put in place and the company moves around the ruler little bit to pay the guys. matt: are the gaming the system? >> i would not say that. erik: despite the best efforts of regulators to diss incentivize traders from trading inappropriate risks and other
9:22 am
similar efforts in the united states, banks, as they will come a continued pay people what they want. >> exactly. the same thing happen in the u.s. in the 1990's. bill clinton passed a rule where anything over $1 million -- i'm make any was a way to pay over $1 million to be taxable. rule that you put in place regarding pay usually has the opposite effect of what is intended. read i think that rule with the bonus. if you will. >> exactly. that is where you started getting really big, where salaries now look small. a million dollars, something less than a million dollars. erik: $1.5 million. matt: jamie dimon's salary.
9:23 am
what do you think he got paid last year all in? >> we know it was about $20 million all in. matt: still, he is working pretty cheap. got $15, daniel pinto million. erik: he is the ceo of the corporate investment bank. >> the mix has changed. that is the difference. matt: when regulators mess with the rules, the banks will game the system to get the outcome they prefer. which we knew and thanks for the proof. [laughter] erik: thanks very much. we will be back after this short break. ♪
9:26 am
9:27 am
executive editor is here with us . the three things you need to look at. welcome. the three things every day. >> i do indeed. erik: bring it. are going to, we take a look at the nonagency mortgage-backed security market. matt: that sounds really exciting. we should have teased that. >> this is a market that has been pretty much dead. that is non-agency outstanding. it has been going to zero for the past three years because we had the financial crisis and housing glut. we just got a deal from lone star, a very small deal, but it is the first non-agency rmbs deal for riskier borrowers since the crisis. erik: you mean a securitization? >> yes. we have had some jumbo loans from major wealthy people. this is a first one that is a slightly riskier profile. erik: it is not subprime.
9:28 am
>> but be very careful, it is not subprime. matt: why are we being so careful? >> because the credit scores are so relatively high. it was like 688 in the pool. matt: so because it is not subprime. >> that is significant in what you are seeing across lending broadly. you are seeing higher credit standards. i think it risky borrower in 2015 is a very different risky in 2008. erik: how important is that that the private capital is moving back into the main dream? >> it is a clear sign that the recovery in housing really has infirmary. home prices have been rising at a firm basis. we are seeing a bit of an inventory problem. i think this is the first sign that investors are willing to embrace risk after what was a tumult to as years following the crisis. erik: that is an understatement. >> should we go over to india
9:29 am
for our second thing? erik: why not. >> let's take a look at the indian stock exchange -- stock index, rather. we have just had the biggest one-day gain in about three months. everyone is betting that the indian central bank is going to have to cut rates. seen signs of lower inflation over in india. this is that exactly the same time as the fed is raising rates. it feels like everyone except the u.s. is cutting rates. it is a big divergence in markets. >> divergence in monetary policy is going to be a significant one in the next coming years. japan, the bank of ecb, china, now possibly india thinking along the lines of easing, meaning we are looking at more market volatility. what is particularly interesting are the implications for the
9:30 am
currency. over the past three rate hike cycles, the dollar has weakened after the first rate hike. a lot of people are talking about the dollar continuing to strengthen. a lot of it has to do with this dynamic you pointed out. interest rate differentials are going to get to the point where, why would you hold onto dollars if everyone else is losing them? erik: the focus has been on china, whether it is the mishandling of the chinese stock implosion. on the point of india, how powerful a combination is the reformer narendra modi on the one hand, the prime minister, and the highly accomplished central banker? >> i'm more comfortable with what india is doing, purely on a transparent see -- transparency standpoint. china still feels like someone of a black box. that said, when you have two massive countries in the emerging markets missing -- making a poke toward easing,
9:31 am
that is going to affect the broader market spectrum. the question is, will the fed continue tightening? just because -- look, we have been tightening for a while now. now, it will take the form of an interest rate increase. a more traditional tightening. will we not make that move? >> i think you've hit the nail on the head. i would say that a 25 basis point increase is coming in september. i think we see one before the end of the year. that is normalization to me, not tightening. the fed needs to show they are real. then the stronger currency is a governor on the edge and the fed will probably high grades in 2016 as quickly as the dollar will let them. the dollar has been tightening the economy for us. >> i'm going to bring you some bond market nostalgia. today is the last trading day for a u.s. treasury note with a 10% coupon. erik: i brought it up on my
9:32 am
screen. >> erik has it on his screen. it matures tomorrow. erik: here is what you want to look at. i'm circling it with my cursor. >> nowadays, we are in low single digit. matt: how about just the price over the last 10 years? >> when this was issued, ronald reagan was president, paul volcker was the fed president. erik: let's go back to the terminal. this is fun, too. the long bond issue in 1985. >> oh geez. [laughter] matt: it is pretty interesting to see the first 6-7 years of it. >> investors clamored to sell
9:33 am
this back during a debt buyback offer from clinton. matt: this is the full history. >> the thinking was that wanted to get out of that bond position and go into tech stocks. there is another blast from the past. matt: we had producers that were not born during this bond issue. better way tos it phrase the question, at what point do we enter the bond bear market? this shows us what a 30 year bond bull market looks like. >> when do we start feeling the pain? erik: exactly. >> rates are at zero and we all know about the relationship between bond yields and bond crisis. if we go back to what we were talking about in terms of central bank and easy monetary policy, i think rates are going to grind higher. 5%on't think we will see a 10 year treasury. i think it will be a gradual
9:34 am
adjustment that removes a lot of the pain people have been expecting. one concern we have is that as investors see rates highs, perhaps they see a slightly negative return, with a lot of the changes in terms of regulation over the past few years, primary dealers are not the source of liquidity they once were. i think we can feel pain in that sense, but not a pure rising rates standpoint. erik: terrific conversation. david. and our executive editor of bloomberg markets. both of you have a great weekend. >> thanks. >> thank you. matt: we are going to watch three stocks getting whacked following disappointing earnings reports. julie hyman joins us with some losers. julie: i was on the floor of the new york stock exchange last year when this company had its debut. there were little people dressed "candyharacters from
9:35 am
crash." this is the biggest drop we have seen in a year and a day compared with its earnings last year at this very same time. the backward looking earnings that appeared to be the problem. it is a forecast that is disappointing investors. although the company also said that its monthly unique payers, that is its metric of subscribers and users, fell about 10% quarter over quarter, although analyst at piper jaffray said monetization per player, although it fell slightly, was ahead of estimates -- it seems to be the forecast that is disappointing. another company that came public last year, l oil loco -- el loco, i thought we were doing that next. but let's go to applied materials. first-quarter sales could full short of estimates because of
9:36 am
lower than expected orders because of some chipmakers that outsource. it is seen as a forward indicator for the semiconductor industry. semiconductor makers place their orders for machinery several in advance. the fact that the company's forecast a short could be a bad sign for the industry. let's get to el pollo loco. shares are down 17%. it is a record drop for the company and it is that a record low, as well. this. -- this company had its debut last week. comp store sales will rise about 3% this year. it is also going to over three fewer franchise restaurants this year than it expected. i guess demand is following for crazy chicken. matt: you don't often make reference to them, but your producer comes up with some of the greatest drafts. laying an egg is his headline for el pollo loco.
9:37 am
9:40 am
9:41 am
this sounds very reminiscent of what michael lewis wrote about. is that a fair comparison? >> it is a fair comparison. the focus then was new york to chicago. erik: in "the flash boys." tha>> that was for stock futures. this is going under the sea and it will be connecting two of the biggest fx trading hubs. erik: it is connecting -- there is another connection to the jersey and trading hubs around new york, but technically it goes from london to halifax. matt: what is wrong with getting an advantage using advanced technology? [laughter] erik: matt asks a loaded question. matt: no, it seems like there should not be anything wrong with it. if you use better technology, even before we had trading over internet, you still had an advantage, right?
9:42 am
thehe 1950's, probably in 1800s. right? >> absolutely. is there a question of nothing wrong with it or is it illegal. icap is a publicly traded company. >> they are not on this new network. they will be moving slightly slower. we talking fractions of a millisecond. erik: as was the case with i ex in "flash boys" the objective is to level the playing field for all participants. >> as much as possible. it is never going to be completely level. your ownve infrastructure and faster systems, the trading venue cannot go into every broker and give them the same systems. they are trying to say, we are doing the best to make a level playing field, the rest will be up to you. the new cable going under the
9:43 am
atlantic is so much faster. that is the issue. erik: it is a terrific story. go to bloomberg.com. pull up the story. i urge you to read it. now, a new hbo series called "show me a hero" premieres on sunday, the latest creation by david simon, the man and coveredwire" cops and crime for the baltimore sun. it is a true story about desegregation and public housing in yonkers, new york. here is a clip. the affordable housing portion of the judge's order of the supreme court. matt: that story took place more than two decades ago.
9:44 am
ferguson, missouri and baltimore remind us that race remains a big issue today. bloomberg set down with david simon to speak more about it. >> we have grown into our adolescence when it comes to racial issues. as a country, most of us now know you cannot swim around the racial epithet. those things will not play. we have a vernacular that allows us to play the same games. now, it is all about personal freedom and liberty and my property values and not in my back yard-ism and what it really comes down to is fear. so, you've seen it. i want to get your take. a show about public housing in yonkers during a racist period in america's history does not sound like something i would want to watch. >> it does not summit the stuff
9:45 am
of drama, but david is adept at making these stories come to life. a federal judge said to yonkers, you have to build public housing and it was a protracted fight the lasted for more than two decades. he was referring to how economics is what underlies the entire fight. they said it would bring down property values. it was really about the seismic change in yonkers that fueled all of it. six episodes, six hours long. i was presently surprised with how riveting it was. the main actor, oscar isaac, tremendous performance as the charismatic young mayor who has to deal with all the pressure. erik: did you know that matt miller lives in yonkers? >> i did not. erik: you are an official resident. >> it rings true to you. erik: david simon's show may touching her. matt: yonkers is a very big and
9:46 am
spread out place and this show is about a very read-out part of -- specific part of yonkers, a part which is in pretty serious economic ruin. >> it was 80% white and now it is a majority of immigrants. it has changed. matt: regardless of the racial makeup, it is a horrible place. economically. with very bad infrastructure problems and a lot of crime, better education. it has not turned out well. >> you elect to live there. [laughter] erik: this is going to come across sounding like a cross question. i'm curious whether you talked to david simon about whether incidents like ferguson and michael brown or eric garner in new york city and the emotions that those -- that they provoke make content-based around race relations good business.
9:47 am
>> we did not talk about that. he has a platform where he can comment on what is going on since he did "the wire" and people will listen to him. he is very cognizant of how they affect businesses in these communities. he has lived in baltimore for a very long time. he spoke about what it was like to live in baltimore after the freddie gray shootings and the riots that followed. onsaid that seeing buildings fire was not something that was that all productive for the city, which is still in very tenuous footing. matt: it is a great question. from a lot of the reviews, it paints a picture of very serious problems and does not offer solutions. is it productive beyond raising money for hbo and david simon? >> he has a real gift for humanizing people at all levels. you are seeing people going through the problems. you get new empathy for what they are going through. matt: that is a good point.
9:48 am
thank you so much. anything on hbo, i'm sure it will be a huge hit. >> hbo does some great stuff. here is a look at havana. matt: we are awaiting the reopening of the u.s. embassy. john kerry has traveled to cuba, the first secretary of state on cuban soil in 56 years, to raise the stars and stripes. we will bring you more after the break. ♪

a big day for cuba and a big day for cuban-american relations and it is a nice shot. matt: it is beautiful. erik: it is a beautiful place. matt: it reminds us how nice it would be to go and check it out there. erik: that may have been for many americans in the not-too-distant future because america is normalizing relations with cuba today.

cuba.a's embassy in that is happening this morning. john kerry. matt: i would love to know the details of this. did we just put that building up ? did we buy that? have we had people and they're putting them of the letters on the building? i think it is fascinating, just the mechanics. in what else is fascinating? erik: etf's. matt: etf friday. we are going to go to julie. julie: thanks, guys. the government tossed evaluation killed three years of gains in one shot in china. analyst is here to talk about it. we talked so much about the currency itself, the ruble effect, we did not really talk
9:53 am
about the etf story. there is an etf or a couple that track the yuan directly. >> there were multiple ways to play this. etf's wrapped up the different methods. yuan etfm tree china uses derivatives to do hong kong-traded yuan and mainland traded yuan. another way to do it is the market factors etn. this one does three-month currency forwards and tracks it three months out. you cannot get mainland, so they
9:54 am
do it using hong kong traded or derivatives. it is an etn to boot. you have the counter risk. the currency shares fund, this one is more like gld. this buys hong kong traded yuan stores them in a bank account at j.p. morgan and you on that shares. best.ne tracks it the julie: for better or for worse. >> that's right. julie: then there are fixed income etf's. that is not a very direct way, but it is one way to try to track currency and fixed income. >> this may be the most intriguing area. we talk about how investors can get a share oh sure through etf's. these guys have hooked up with hong kong companies that have quota. paper, thisrcial
9:55 am
holds ultra short-term debt. essentially, it is a backdoor way of getting mainland exposure because it buys that debt and yields 3%. no interest rate risk. rated credit. but you have chinese government risk. julie: very quickly, we did not talk about the market vectors. also on the bond, this is way to get local. >> did will yield a little bit more. the bond market for mainland china is opening up. we have a few million dollars in the space. same with the currencies. at all this up. china is slowly opening up all of this. there are all of these crosscurrents going on. it is a tricky space to invest in, but there are the portals for the etf's. julie: really interesting stuff. thank you so much.

talking to us about the china etf play right now. erik: thank you very much. etf friday on bloomberg television. i'm going to be back after this break. i shall. everybody else, sooner or later, you will get to enjoy the weekend. come back and watch us on monday. we will be talking to sydney chase. helping to save water and prevent drought. save water during the drought in california. matt: stick around for the raising of the flag. ♪
