11:04 pm
-- pile of it in ports in the china. output is exceeding demand. -- west texas below $40 a barrel. producers are raising supply. even the gold place -- the gold price remains weak. behind all this is china, the biggest consumer of grains. investors still continuing to sell the commodities. the bleak days for commodities are not behind us just yet even though we are getting a balance in australia this morning. angie: what kind of balance is the question. thank you very much for that. the people's bank of china stepped up to the plate this morning, injecting the most funds into the system since january of last year. repo again.
11:05 pm

11:08 pm
the world is waiting to see whether the chinese central bank will take action. one analyst we spoke to said the pbo -- said the pboc alone would not be enough. -- a lot ofhina people are looking at china and pboc to be the leader in this effort. i think that people are disappointed that pboc did not cut the rrr rate over the weekend and this could indicate a weakness in the chinese market . at this moment, i think given the intensity of the stock market route, i think a triple cutcut is instant -- a rrr is insufficient. oil has reversed his declines but is still there six-year lows. alliance security says the worst is not over.
11:09 pm

11:15 pm
when we wereto talking about moving towards great heights, it was always about increased volatility. a pullback was likely. we see a pullback. what has driven that has been a little bit different. it has been about concerns with chinese growth, the pboc's reaction, and how that has been interpreted. increased volatility getting back towards more normal levels. that is explaining some of the psychological effects of what is driving the market. we have been a new normal for the past few years. end of the day, are we seeing a correction that will lead to a bear market? this is still summer. october is just around the corner. that is what everyone is fearful of massive correction.
11:16 pm
if we look at developed market equities, this is a correction, not something unusual. 2014, october, we saw a correction. we say the same pattern -- same pattern we see play out year after year. in the u.s. market, this is the 23rd 5% correction we have had. i think that is what we will see for this one. fearful,lot of people at least yesterday. right now, the circuit breaker seems to have been triggered with most asian markets up. do you think that will reverse the sentiment on wall street? you can get away from the fact that china is slowing and we are seeing more action from the pboc. i think what we're seeing in developed markets is different.
11:17 pm
the u.s. market is fundamentally in a pretty good space. there are concerns about inflation, but on the outside you have consumer spending in the retail sales. you have a labor market that should lead to higher wages. in europe, you have consumer confidence rising. you are seeing everything hitting the right direction. that will support those markets. medium-term, the drivers of holding risk and equities haven't changed. to -- doesn't harken back and let history be the guide. the last time this happened, when the fed was about to raise rates, when we saw china's devaluation. it triggered the asian financial crisis. again, we are starting to feel the same situation in the environment right now. could it triggered something
11:18 pm
catastrophic like that? i think the fundamentals and the economy are very different now than they were during the financial crisis in asia so i take it is hard to draw those parallels. a lot of governments have learned lessons from that. i think to say how far china's growth might slow, that is too early to say. clientsfor many of our and investors, there is still all the long-term, fundamental fundamentalold the allocation in the portfolio. becomes, when we enter the market. , ahink maybe right now little bit of a cause. cause we are seeing in selling -- the pause we are seeing in selling.
11:19 pm
we saw markets open in the red and that a massive turnaround. quite a spike to the upside. there are still a lot of investors out there holding cash to allocate. world, things are looking a little bit more expensive so when things do start to present an opportunity, they get snapped up pretty quickly. is that a lot of good quality companies can suffer. those ones will get bought back up really quickly. angie: we are seeing some shares that respond positively. not so much shanghai a shares. , ifhere still a play here you are feeling like you want to move cash into the market and you do want to find some bargains, what would you be buying? sectors, specific stocks? kerry: i would be taking an
11:20 pm
extremely selective approach to this market. the one thing investors have to remember about equities around the world is that you have had this big bull run in the u.s. and the japanese market, so any littleou get will be a harder to actually obtain them what they might be used to. that is why what you pay for , if the world is -- ing to be better, the other things you to think about right now are, where our currencies going, what is the currency plan? also, do i want to have any exposure, which is probably not where you want to be right now. angie: we are going to leave it there but we will get back to you and discuss a little bit more about this very volatile,
