6:03 am
i think it snows apprise he would want to talk to somebody like that. vonnie: neither of them are commenting public a. when the onlys hazards he faced were on the golf course, president obama confronts the political hazards of washington today as his family returned to the white house yesterday after their vacation. a busy september including congressional votes on the iran nuclear deal and funding the government. indycar driver is in a coma this morning at a pennsylvania hospital. he was struck in the head by debris during a crash yesterday at pompano raceway in is listed in critical condition. the 37-year-old returned to racing three years ago after recovering from a crash injury. that's hard to watch. michael: these guys keep going back. we have a crash going on in the markets around the world.
6:04 am
we got the headlines but let's do a data check. what stands out is the 10 year note yield at 2.02%. it has rebounded and look at the euro -- it is becoming a haven currency. people feel the ecb might cut rates again it appears. we talked about china which is down 8.5% but look at what happens to other markets in china. vix is up and it's higher than it was when bear stearns went under. are notonditions changed, the corporate bond spread for high-grade corporate bonds. it does not show a reaction which is good news for the fed. goes to your theme which is this is not necessarily a crisis. it's amazing how much
6:05 am
strategists are finding to recommend. people are recommending they get into dividend stocks and morgan stanley says growth sectors have been hit more than value plays. brendan: let's take a look at the mac monitor with two different measures of the strength of the dollar. this is what currency traders are looking at. this is weighted against a more liquid basket of the yen, the euro. the fed should pay attention to this, the strength of the dollar. this is what the fed is looking at. this is a broader trade weighted basket which means looking at the dollar against a bunch of emerging currencies. we look at how poorly they are performing. you have a completely different story. xy index does not n andde the chinese yua
6:06 am
they are our second-biggest trading partner. brendan: you will talk about this all week at jackson hole. it has been a dramatic day already in asia. the nikkei is down 4 and the downhai composite closed over 8%. let's go to hong kong. thatard over the weekend pension funds and china will work going to invest in equities. does the communist party have any tools left to support its equity markets? >> they have plenty of tools left in their toolbox. the central bank here has a lot conventional monetary policy in a long way to go to cut interest rates and a whole range to get credit loans through the economy and the government has
6:07 am
a balance sheet to die for impaired to the rest of the western world print if they wanted to, they could put a circuit breaker in the market tomorrow. it's a question of waiting to see what steps they take next. vonnie: any idea where the money coming out of those indexes is going? >> obviously, there's a flight to quality. the big concern in china is whether this is the start of a capitalized flow and whether it's the start of a capitalized flow for the rest of asia. it would put pressure on central bank to defend their currency including china at a time when they are let the -- they're willing to let the currency depreciate a little bit. brendan: chinese markets have suffered the worst in the last day of any global market. what is the level of panic in beijing? people are calling it quite ugly.
6:08 am
the steps they have taken so far have not gained traction. interestal bank is cut rates to record lows but they still have a lot of tools left in their toolbox. people expect them to intervene going forward to put a circuit rigor in all of this. i think there is an expectation that the economy will not turn around and a hurry but they want policy makers to make it slower. brendan: thank you. we will go to michael reagan. you cover equities. contagion? vector of this is all just fundraising ahead of the ashley madison settlements is the joke. i thought we would need a laugh. at when the market for started to roll over, the last time we set a record was may 21.
6:09 am
hadday after, janet yellen a speech in providence and she said we were going to raise interest rates and have had this slow roll over since then and it was more dramatic last week. china and yellen are the same story to some degree. the raisingact to of interest rates? brendan: what is the more recent catalyst? you have the ambiguous notes from the fed. as well as china. >> i think china is the story. we were down bad on thursday and friday and out china open's really bad on monday. now we are back. brendan: we have the cochairman
6:10 am
of gamco. we may not be entering a recession but it's a reminder there is such a thing as reversion and these things are healthy. we have not had a correction since 2012 so this is healthy. michael: do we go through another day of this and then come back? the market.t time you have to look stock by stock as we do and look for individual bargains. there are domestic companies that have recurring cash flow that are not impacted at all by china we will probably buy those. vonnie: people recommend taking stocks that have no exposure to asia. have deutsche bank recommending dividend plays. are there particular areas of the market you're looking at? >> we look at areas of core industrial media, and you're looking at exposure
6:11 am
around the world and the easy ones are companies that have little exposure to emerging markets. highan: do you have a dollar or load dollar bet? >> there are some exporters who are cheering the decline in the dollar this morning. that is important. brendan: we will look at the dollar as well today and will take our twitter question -- the global selloff, is it carnage or correction? let us know. ♪
6:14 am
indicates we are undergoing some construction. we will go straight to the top headlines. firefighters in washington state got good news weekend. there is less smoke from the wild fighters that have blackened almost 400 square miles which means more aerial tigers can drop water on the fire. wildfires are burning and at least four states in the west. chip dudley is planning a one-day hiring bids next month on. september 9 otlep p of late -- is planning a one-day hiring then his next month on september 9. the green bay packers may have lost one of their best layers for the season. jordy nelson injured his left knee in a preseason game against pittsburgh yesterday. the nfl network says he suffered a torn acl which is usually a season ending injury.

6:16 am
the region whether we are in saudi orabu dhabi or tel aviv. the fall in oil prices is impacting the region in a big deal. this spread or is this contained? >> i think there is a bit of both. what's happening to emerging markets is impacting. the wider middle east what's happening more directly to oil prices is impacting saudi arabia, egypt. oil butes not export it's impacted by the wealth in the gulf region. there is a lot of flow of money into egypt from the gulf countries. that is impacting egypt. there is definitely a psychological effect. brendan: the prime minister of kazakhstan some other oil
6:17 am
producing countries will have to float their currencies as well. just as they did last week. do you agree? >> i disagree. in the case of the gulf countries who are pegged to the dollar because they are only producing effectively one commodity which is oil and they are exporting that commodity. it makes a lot of sense for them to be pegged to the dollar for the time being. if they were diversified, it would make sense. these people are beginning to that that there will be a reevaluation.of their currencies in the gulf i think it's not going to happen. in 2700 did not happen i believe it will not happen this time around. michael: people are looking at saudi reserves and are wondering if they want to spend all this money trying to prop up the dollar. the region is not
6:18 am
going to do what the russians did for quite some time, using their deep reserves to support the currencies. the gulf economies have far more money in their reserve cash than what the russians had when they began supporting their currency. they will support it but at the same time, there is more going for the gulf region than other parts of the world. i do not expect for them to be doing anything contrary and but they are sitting on huge reserves. saudi arabia is sitting on close to 100% of their gdp on reserves. at the: when we look routeu in equities and theae, have these countries missed their chance to diversify? >> over the last 10 years, some of them have not been able to diversify. over the next 10 years, they should be doing more of that. certainly, saudi arabia is not diversified enough and they
6:19 am
should be thinking of that and i think the current political decision-makers are thinking thoroughly about this. they should be doing more of it and i think they will. brendan: thank you. we will go to our twitter question -- the question of the day -- is this carnage or just a correction? it might be something different depending on which country you look at. this is "bloomberg surveillance." ♪
6:23 am
brendan: this is "bloomberg surveillance." we will take a look at our morning must read. mine is from larry summers -- we have chrismorangi -- we have with us.rangi are we looking at long-term stagnation? global growth is definitely low and has been low in the u.s. you put that against a back drop of low interest rates and you figure out what to do. i think interest rates will stay
6:24 am
low. the september rate rises off the table. brendan: you would go into march? >> i think the fed got a gift. they were in a ox and needed an excuse not to raise rates and i think they missed the window. we are: let me note that seeing another deterioration in the market. the s&p 500 futures are down by 46 points which is 2.4%, not quite at the lows overnight but moving in that direction and the 10 year yield is down to just over 2%. it fell to 1.97%. look at the oil prices -- brendan: when you watch this deterioration in real-time, earlier this morning you said you want to distinguish that it's not a stock market, it's a market of stocks. >> you have to think of the
6:25 am
feedback effects and what is the reverse wealth effect and the hit to confidence. what we saw for a number of years was un- correlation and everything now seems to be moving together. >> it is a macro driven market again. brendan: what does that mean. its china, its oil, its currency -- it's all these things driving whether the market goes up or down as opposed to individual earning power of stocks. summersthe larry article you just quoted, you guys are going to jackson hole and janet yellin will not be there but stanley fischer will print what kind of questions will they discuss? michael: everyone will talk about what the global impact is of this and whether it should weigh on the fed. stanley fischer is supposed to talk about inflation.
6:26 am
we will see of they of the rough at all. vonnie: last time it was he u.s. ratings downgrade that was causing the selloff. the fed funds futures indicate it is only a 32% chance that there will be a move in september. our twitter question -- looking from asia to europe and now to futures in the u.s., is this carnage or is it just a correction? let us know. this is "bloomberg surveillance." ♪

i took a party of four -- of four to six-year-olds to minions. funny has told you about oil prices breaking genetically this mine. look at crude breaking well below $45. to otherelation markets or are prices telling us a global slowdown is getting worse? peter is an oil industry analyst with bloomberg intelligence. there is a distinction that matters. if were going into a global recession, then oil prices will stay low for a long time. if this is correlation, markets start to go back up and maybe oil prices go back up a little. what we have to keep in mind is the narrative in the oil markets has been for so long resilience. the narrative shifts to the demand side.
6:33 am
unfortunately we have been seeing like you talked about in china this morning, the demand side is not robust. a near-term up in the oil markets is shortcoming. we are getting into a season when demand will be slow. even outside of the macroeconomy. peter: in the u.s. we are entering high driving season. it is a low demand period for eric -- oil. vonnie: there is a psychological barrier. do we need to close below there before we can call this a collapse? peter: oil being down from its peak at 60% is a dramatic move. oilever nomenclature, the patch is serious. we don't have a specific oil price. what i can tell you was looking at the fundamentals and the supply and demand side, it is easy to understand how you could
6:34 am
conceivably get to $30. we recently did an analysis which said that breakeven prices are around $30 levels. in a bad scenario where demand is not pick up, you are looking at low prices for a long time. let's look at supply-side. there are indications we are seeing the rate of increase lowdown. at what point do the two lines intersect between demand and supply? peter: the bad news is that is a long off into the future. you see increase production from saudi arabia, iraq, and the onset of new oil from the run that might hit the mac -- market. this combination of factors seems like a bad -- barrage of bad news that the oil market and are doing well this morning. brendan: it is already a red day with futures in the u.s.. when you hear calls potentially as low as $30, how does that change your portfolio? >> these natural stabilizers at

6:36 am
oil but you are buying gasoline, what is the impact? will refinery closures keep oil prices higher? peter: all things being equal that is true. during a seasonal demand for guessing, gasoline prices will be lower. that is the beneficiary in all of this, the consumer. -- gettinge looking any benefit our people driving cars. brendan: we have gone from supply to demand. i'm wondering if there would be a supply question in the future. peter: these markets are pricing in a run. what they are not pricing is the potential speed these barrels may hit the market. the velocity that these barrels move will dictate the price of oil in the short term. michael: what about the people who are hurt? whoctober, banks looking at they have led to in the oil industry and a lot of companies going banker. what about layoffs? that we lost a lot of workers or could we lose more? have cutey

it was a long, strange month of august. that is today's single best chart. the vix is a measure of volatility. at the s&p 500 and the expectations that equity in the u.s. will change in the future. it got as low as 11 this money. this morning, it is at 28. compare that to the crisis high in 2009 where it was at 44. michael: it is interesting to note at this point we are at 28 above where it was when the bear stearns collapsed. markets were freezing up and the fed had to come to a rescue. that was a 27 handle. ix already above that. is this really worse than that? vonnie: morgan stanley saying this morning that the spike in showing how surprised
6:42 am
investors were by this selloff. the initial idea that it is happening today so sell, sell, sell. people must be buying, right ? brendan: you made the point this morning that bear stearns looks worse in the rearview mirror than it did at the time. there was something going on that -- it wasn't a harbinger. we didn't know what was going to come. vixs, when you look at the right now, do you have a danger level? chris: we don't have a particular danger level. you make money when markets are fearful. you get an opportunity to buy stocks below their intrinsic value. brendan: how very warren buffett of you. chris: we try. i am a little surprise that the market is surprised that this was coming. we have an waiting for this correction for a long time. brendan: people have been telling us on this program for two years that we are waiting for a major correction. then he comes in everyone runs

6:44 am
mistake for the fed. in the long run, is this correction a good thing for the markets? chris: corrections are part of the business cycle, squeezing x -- executive excess. this was macroid driven. is there a difference between the longer term trend and the route we saw friday in this morning? are both of those macro driven? chris: are our expectations of future clash -- cash flows in the global markets gone down 10%? no. vonnie: who are the buyers at the moment? are they waiting to make a decision? chris: people will come back from vacation and figure were they will go. the market -- the markets have been trading without a margin of safety for a long time.

their economy. neither seems to be working. conventional monetary policy -- cut interest rates, take a lot of steps to push lending through the economy. on the physical side, they can support stocks. they can do a lot more. the question is will it work? to drive futures back in the u.s., what is the difference between the underlying economy in china and what we are seeing on the shanghai with the collapse we're watching in equities markets? a good indicator, one of the key rings we have had shows the manufacturing sector is much softer than people anticipated. going forward, although people knew the third quarter would be slower in china because the stock market would not be there, it is actually worse than people anticipated. bloomberg's tracker in china is well below the 7% growth target.
7:07 am
the disconnection between stocks and the underlying economy are starting to merge a little bit now. a very: the end of interesting summer. thank you, more to come. michael, looking at everything we just talked about locally, we look forward to u.s. market day. what is your one indicator right now? /i have an looking at some measures. something called the value line arithmetic. chris: these are wide-ranging stock indicators with all of the stocks in them. they have been really leading this decline. either in a correction or going into a correction. that shows you the whole market is down. mike holland is with us which is extra ordinary because it is the exact right day to have him on set. answer a question nobody has
7:08 am
been able to answer today. how do we draw the connection to the panic we saw to the u.s. on friday and this morning? ke: they are obviously directly related. we are in a very liquid environment at the end of august. there is no doubt that panic the gets panic on this market. -- begets panic. you call this black friday this mine. it is a psychological thing. it is not anywhere. it is not energy stocks, junk bonds, it is everywhere. /does that correlation tell you something about the fact that we don't know? we are going to push for two sitomer 17. let's say they hike rates 20 site -- they hike rates 25 basis points. , how about intos
7:09 am
the u.s.? this is good stuff. vonnie: can i ask both of you. could this be a healthy correction? a lot of people have been saying there were losses and financial markets. this is exactly what the fed has been waiting for. mike'sto go back to the housing market is good, the job market is good. the cliche it is the t-shirt and the hamper, the u.s. is not looking like block bursar -- blockbuster growth. but it is looking good compared to some other markets. brendan: how dirty is the shirt in china? [laughter] the caller just pops, it is amazing. -- help us understand what is going on in that economy? it does not seem to justify the 8.5% plunge we saw in shanghai. michael: any more than the 100%
7:10 am
increase from last november to june 14. we were talking about that. 100% increase from january 1 to june 14. a 60% increase. we talked about it on the downside because the 60% has been wiped out. brendan: this is the sound of one bubble popping? michael: one bubble popping. the stocks are still expensive in china, but the rest of the market is ok. brendan: thank you so much this mine. the twitter question of the day, global selloff all over the world. carnage or correction? let us know this mine. ♪

brendan: this is "bloomberg surveillance". supply issues they get demand issues but get supply issues -- supply issues beget supply issue -- demand issues beget demand issues. vonnie: a must-read i picked up this morning from a strategist and specialist this morning writing in a piece called deep funk.
7:13 am
that they now is begin to require late -- -- record late - the question, and i put it to michael holland, our guest for will discontinue? could've possibly lead to a recession? michael: there could be a myth of simultaneity. i don't want to get into that. one thing that struck me from the comment he made, the dot com relationship. that is not about the u.s.. it is the shanghai market. over there, they were crazily priced with foreign investors. by the way, it crashed.
7:14 am
it is still expensive as it was in 1999 and 2000. these companies want to zero. in china, the same thing. a lot of the underlying companies in china are ok. coms interesting, the dot relationship is important. brendan: think one of the jargon words. correction or bear market? michael: i have always hated that. vonnie: but i use it. michael: people do use it, and it is ok. i understand. me, i'd rather not. thing --he correction i will not predicted because i know that i can't and no one else can. right now what you have is -- as you have been talking about -- the underlying economy is pretty good. incould get a fed lift up

7:20 am
any markets. i think we decided we could use that term -- more evident than in emerging markets. that has people harking back to the emerging markets of 97 and 98 -- 1998. that is not really an accurate comparison, is it? nie was pointing out, we got a u.s. a session out of the -- a u.s. recession out of the asian financial crisis. when you look at the start market right now, the world looks like it is burning. it is not like it was. asian countries are better than they were. they have reserves, they can fight this. you do not have currency pegs. in latin america they were also very pegged. countries devaluing and
7:21 am
a terminus way. the ripple in brazil, in argentina. helped spur the collapse of argentina in 2001. people are not as concerned as they were back then. michael: it seems that a lot of people are not paying close attention that it is different everywhere. brazil has its own reasons for going down, as is argentina. they are not the same as it is in kazakhstan, russia, or china. they have different reasons for why they are lower. >> the idiosyncrasies of each country -- brazil has tremendous issues as we discussed many times. we are seeing they are going back on their word. they have all of these fiscal issues. they have to tighten spending there. insee development banks come and have to boost credit out there. they have such high domestic interest rates there. they are even going back on their word. they were supposed to do everything to tighten spending and they are going back. $9.25 foru're getting
7:22 am
the u.s. dollar. what does that have on the impact on the streets? >> you visited argentina, you know what it is like. the currency there -- it is just an official currency. people cannot access that. it is very limited. what we have been seeing is on the black market that rate is blowing out. it is reaching close to 16. what that means is that argentines are accessing dollars at that rate. that does not have to do so much with external factors as with internal factors. really high inflation, high spending ahead of elections. lots of pesos in your pocket. possiblewe asked is it that saudi arabia might have to tighten itself? you have a burning desire to talk about the tanguay.
7:23 am
point, ares to her we going to see more countries abandon their pegs because it is not sustainable like in 1998? michael: at this point it seems inevitable. >> the prime minister of causing stone said he expected to see more of these countries pegging. these countries maintain a peg because oil is priced in dollars. we should have more -- we should have a currency priced in line with the dollar. into suchave oil fall a degree, if you had a more flexible exchange rate you would have more revenue coming in. china is actually doing something in that direction. what they did, they did not do it to create exports. they did it to do what she is talking about.
7:24 am
to be more flex will. brendan: they are not really take to the price of the dollar, but to the price of the oil. that is the pressure. vonnie: can i point out something that she said that was obvious but wonderful? the things with the worst fundamentals -- michael: you sell apple. vonnie: exactly. michael: you so what you can. the best trading things get sold. that is what happens. vonnie: this, in fact, benefits commodity currencies in some ways. michael: they get hurt less.

looked at each other and said that is long. that is my only take away. "minions."ing the minions at the fed have a different understanding of what is going on with the dollar then those in the market. a great piece that came out last night on the terminal. the trade weighted dollar, what the fed uses to measure the dollar, a basket composed with the biggest trade markets. the yuan is part of that. the dollar is much higher than what currency traders generally look at. they are looking at the dollar's value against the euro, against the yen. michael holland is with us. are you following this trade weighted value? michael: when the dollar is that strong, it means things are
7:32 am
fundamentally ok. that is the key to september 17. things are ok. markets would be better off with a 25 basis point move and then stay there. i think that is what they are looking at, more important. brendan: not quite that enough. vonnie: we have a $12 billion deal on this monday. a company in atlanta, georgia is buying atl resources. --agl resources. southern company is a provider for a -- of electricity, telephone services in the south. -- getting more information on that company. areticker is agsus if you interested. it is based in atlanta, georgia. a 36% premium and a $12 billion deal. brendan: not such a dark monday

of people are willing to close a deal. michael will be in jackson hole at the end of the week. with me, we will both be going. channel us or we will channel you. what should we be asking the president we will be talking to? michael: are things ok? is anything you will be talk -- worrying about a lot? with the economy and with mr. fisher who will replace janet yellen, what you want to find out is there is not anything, i think sitomer 17 is the -- i think september 17 is the right time to do something. a look atet's take where we are right now. four days ahead of the s&p. michael: futures down 50%. below 1.98.
7:34 am
we do not think we look at the low. the euro down 1%. nymex crude at $39 a barrel. we will see with echoes the rest of the day. -- where that goes for the rest of the day. brendan: this is "bloomberg surveillance", i am brendan greeley with money quinn -- vonnie quinn. weekend, joe biden had a not very secret meeting with elizabeth warren. washington, phil to help us understand what is going on. elizabeth warren's bring is the in thessable ring democratic party. should we interpret from that that joe biden is serious? phil: deliberations are serious. whether he will run is an open question. the timeline he is looking at is
7:35 am
and is september, first week of october. if your name is not hillary clinton, getting a elizabeth warren on your site is crucial to have any impact in the democratic race. what joe biden is trying to do pathwayw is scope his if he would jump into this race. that is about money, the route he would take, and how he would organize. if he wants to get a jolt in organization, elizabeth warren is crucial. recent polling coming out nationally shows joe biden is 35 hillary40% behind clinton. when you look at swing states, joe biden against donald trump, he is leading in states like florida, ohio, pennsylvania. that matters for democrats who want to see a reason or rationale of why hillary clinton is not the be-all end-all or the party. those are the numbers joe biden is looking at as he tries to weigh this decision. donorsmichael: can he get the
7:36 am
and can he get the troops on the ground to organize a campaign? can he gets here when people? -- can he get tier one people? phil: one thing to keep in mind here it there is a very small handful of people who know what is going on. people who know biden and his team. there are probably five or six people involved in these talks are now. their biggest concern right now is money. hillary clinton has locked up a lot of these huge donors. she got 65 million dollars in the first quarter. raising $15 million already supporting her. joe biden has none of that. if you want to make an impact, you need money. he has drafted a super pac that is starting to get more serious. he is month behind hillary clinton not just in money but also organization. michael: i had planned this money to give you a trump free
7:37 am
hit, but that will not happen. he told cbs face the nation yesterday that he wants to save the middle class. he said something about our audience here on "surveillance." take a listen. donald trump: the hedge fund guys did not build the country. these shift money around get lucky. when the markets go down like they are now, the market collapse and they lose a fortune. michael: this is a very serious question. can donald trump when talking the money that hedge funders make any taxes they fail to pay -- can he pilaf some of the bernie sanders vote? -- peel off some of the bernie sanders vote? >> the crazy thing is you action talkingknow who was right there. is that bernie sanders or hillary clinton? donaldu look at what
7:38 am
trump said yesterday should kill him ideologically in a primary. it actually helps them. when you look at the 25% of the republican base he has targeted and has stuck with him through every comment and what all of the political groups have said will sink him. that has message resonated. if you look at capital gains and the hedge fund loophole, this pulls extremely well nationwide, 60%. i don't know if he peels off bernie sanders's supporters expressively, but this is actually an issue that resonates with people who support donald trump. michael: i am going to ask you a 10 second question. when your son is one year and three-month-old, who will be president? phil: i have no idea. that is too painful. my only hope is that brendan, you pop into the race and you lead the country into a better place. is exceptreeley pac

7:44 am
long-term inflation at citations up around 2.5%. in two years. they don't get higher than 1.5% in germany. michael: with real-world expectations of things continuing to depress in terms of price pressures, that is where you are in germany. that is surprising to me. michael: long-term, you don't see growth higher than -- what is the long-term estimate for growth in the eu? michael: i think 1.2%-one .5% is still ok. -- 1.5% is still ok. china is moving back towards that. vonnie: it is amazing strategists can come up with positive things to say. a wide variety of recommendations. dividend plays from deutsche bank. where are you today? michael: they may be right.

7:52 am
interact on a timescale that we sit here and talk about. michael, i can see your eyebrows -- michael: i think it has some impact. to the extent which natural gas, for example, which is clean and 275, 265, to go down, doesn't have an impact on solar and everything else? think it is useful to separate energy from transport fuel. only separate that from natural gas which is enabling this. that is a power sector thing. until after cars work and everybody has one, it is a useful distinction to keep in mind. brendan: some of the policy successes that the president has had have been a long changing standards for fuel consumption in cars. what is happening now is that
