what people are willing to pay for protection against a rate rise in september, december and march of next year. expectationthy earlier this year that there would be a rate rise. the closer we get, we get a real difference right here in august. this is a difference a month makes. seen everything shift to where it was. december is at september, mark is at september. they think the fed is going to look at this and tap the brakes. vonnie: in january, there's no push for a january move. -- n tranter is smiling jason trennert is smiling. of a: it is part liquidity situation for banks during the holiday. i think the fed wants to raise

6:07 am
nick: rumors are flying that they are going to lower interest rates or cut the reserve requirement banks are required to have. have been flying for a long time. offgovernment has held intervening in the stock market. they now it looks like taken the position that they do not want to intervene, they want to let the market run its course. vonnie: at what point does this become untenable? that is the big question. the concern about china is that the underlying fundamentals are a concern. bloomberg put growth at 6.6% for july. when they target a rate of 7%, it is cause for concern here the more we see data that shows the economy is struggling, the more pressure will be on the government to intervene.
6:08 am
brendan: hans nichols and berlin. yesterday, a drop in the dax looking at germany's exports to china. bad news on the gdp numbers. give us the good news first. we basically had gdp numbers that confirm what we thought, 0.4. and then we have ifo, that is real time. for august, an assessment of german business executives. it came at 108.3. 107.6 was the estimate. looks like business leaders are looking through china, just like last month, they looked through greece. theyet the expert story on gdp numbers and we got, it was largely export driven. i'm having a hard time reconciling these two numbers. if the economy is so reliant on exports for growth and we look around the world and there is not optimism, why is the ifo
6:09 am
survey so optimistic? maybe you have a theory on it. brendan: can you give us a data check on whether or not germany is any closer to its long-awaited rebalancing towards consumption? this is something the u.s. treasury has been begging germany today. hans: no. when you look at their current account surplus, they're on their way to having another surplus. they actually have a surplus when you talk about their budget deficit. demand ishat china's slowing, that could help germany. china is important less. when you look at the trade deficit this year it is twice what it was for the end of 2014. some mixed data, not quite sure how to price it. it looks like the sentiment is optimistic. brendan: nick wadhams is in beijing. hans nichols is in berlin during his first non-greece hit in months. jason trennert with us. let's look at these two engines of the global economy. days and longer
6:10 am
drops if you look back a month. the u.s. engine, if that is only have rely on, is it running? jason: the u.s. has a current account deficit, it detracts from gdp. consumption at 68% of gdp. government spending 20%. good in actually looks comparison to the rest of the world, largely because it is self-propelled. the consumers, u.s. consumers, have a lot going for them. ,ages seemed to have bottomed housing is an engine, savings rate is high. americans are saving. oil priceave lower and lower commodity prices, which are going to lift real discretionary income. brendan: the consumer who wakes
6:11 am
up and sees this, is it the end of the ball but not the end of the world? there this is something is debate on. the average investor has not gotten back into the bull market. if you look at mutual fund an etf flows, there has been that redemption since 2009. there has been a lot of pensions endowment foundations, institutional money that has .one into equities the retail investor got sc ared and looks at this and says it is not my problem. vonnie: let's get your take on what has happened in the last couple days, is the crash over? against would caution thinking it is over. if you are an intermediate to long-term investor and you are buying high-quality stocks today, you will be happy a year from now. whether you are happy to months
6:12 am
artm now, i'm not sm enough. i think there is a lot of value that has been created in the last couple days. you will see more volatility as we go through the fall and until you get greater clarity on what the fed is going to do. on a long-term time horizon, there is a lot of stuff for sale. brendan: jason trennert is going to be with us for the entire hour. my take away so far is that the billion as lost a lot, nobody else is back in the market. thee it is just billionaires losing. we look at the s&p 500's winners and losers from the selloff yesterday. this is bloomberg "surveillance" on bloomberg television. good morning. ♪

hearts are broken with stocks from apple to ge down. brendan: we have to break in. an interest rate cut from china. this is the long-awaited intervention we have been looking for. china has cut their reserve ratio by half a percentage point. brendan: i'm going to go to jason trennert. the answer we have been waiting for, will china intervene? jason: this is the intervention. i would caution against thinking this is a panacea for what else china. -- what ails china. it is a welcome development for china. brendan: it cut the requirements ratio to increase the money supply. vonnie: we are looking at the dollar index, off about .5%. stocks in europe continuing to climb. futures in the u.s. rising more. brent up 3.6%.
6:18 am
brendan: let's throw that to mike regan, who is with us to help us understand. what does this mean for u.s. markets? we needm keene said more cowbell, we just got it. tom keene has the fever, there's only one chore. for risk assets, as jason said. after we heard overnight that they are not going to intervene in the stock market directly anymore, this is the backdoor way of intervening. halfway returned to where we work with china now where we were with europe a year ago. we were waiting for mario draghi to make a move, every bit of bad news was interpreted as good news. has movedink china more quickly. iron hee, the ecb, the was draghi said we are going to do whatever it takes. the size of the ecb balance

sheet declined by about a third years.e following two china is moving quickly because frankly the stakes are higher politically and socially in china. vonnie: some bond market moves -- a huge move in the german bond market, german 10 year yield up 66 basis points from about 55 following this announcement. china has cut the reserve ratio by .5 percentage point and is making some other moves. the pboc saying the economy is still facing downward pressure. brendan: jason trennert, can the chinese government six their problem right now? we've been talking about two engines. the chinese engine is in flames. can they fix this engine with monetary policy? jason: no. you cannotngly that fix anything with monetary policy. monetary policy is one tool that governments have. there are 4 tools -- fiscal policy, monetary, regulatory and trade. lord onlynd out,
6:20 am
knows -- longer-term i think you are going to find that the western world could not fix everything with monetary policy, either. it is palliative, it moves the train down the track, but it is not going to solve all the problems. brendan: the other issue is what happens in china ripples around the rest of the world. particularly developing markets. sitting with their hands on the trigger in malaysia, indonesia, brazil, watching this move? jason: it will make a difference short-term but there are structural issues for china, particularly the amount of debt it has, this will take a long time to work out. this helps on the short-term. mike: the big question i would have this morning and may be jason has a thought on this, you look at the big rally in the futures, people were expecting something like this. how much of the futures rally is baked into that. you see the future cocaine right now -- jason: i would -- you see the futures gained right
6:21 am
now. jason: i think there is more uncertainty. china has lost credibility -- i would seek to go the other way. i would sell the rally. chinese policymakers have lost a lot of credibility in the last three or four months. it is going to take time to get it back. vonnie: they were trying something and it is causing some instability. they are jumping in again and trying something else. if you look at emerging-market africanes, the south rand up 1.3%, mexican peso extending its again. jason: it is certainly different from 1997. a lot of emerging markets has far greater currency reserves.
6:22 am
this is only two days old. i think this will be a process. wrote a column making the 1997-19 98 comparison. you keep seeing people try to pick what year we are in. the comparison to 1998 that bothers me is we had the bubble being inflated under us, we had a dip based on the asian crisis it we do not really have the bubble going on right now. is it possible that that was a quick bounce back in 1998, three months that a market was down, is it possible that this weak stretch could be longer because we do not have the bubble mentality? brendan: hold on, we have got nick wadhams. we go back to beijing. this is breaking news. we have reserve requirement ratio is cut for chinese banks and chinese interest rates cut as well.
6:23 am
should we interpret this as a sign of strength or panic? nick: [laughter] this was was that widely expected. when you look at the reserve for climates, for the amount of money banks were forced to keep, it was considered to be quite high. as the government was looking for ways to free up liquidity and get the economy moving, the reserve cut was seen as a natural step. a double move with the interest rate cut. like you are saying, there's a credibility issue here. the problem with the pboc and the chinese government is the question of transparency. often we really do not know, not an unexpected move. do ton: what does this china's attempts to rebalance its economy? if it is throwing money into the dotem, that is likely to exactly the opposite of what it had hoped, which is get people to buy things.
6:24 am
we've had increasing signs of the last few months that the move towards a stronger consumer society was not really working. that the shift away from infrastructure investment and exports to having consumers takeover was not working. they've said repeatedly that they want to press ahead with these reforms. they have not said they are backing away but this does seem to suggest they are reconsidering the pace at which they would do that. vonnie: how do investors in china react to the pboc move? the teased to reading leaves of the federal reserve and other companies as well. investors used to pboc statements, how do they react to them? i think what you had seen in the last couple days was investors freaking out about the
6:25 am
fact that the government had been so silent and had not really done anything. an expectationy that this cut to the reserve requirement would come over the weekend. when that did not happen, you saw this big slide monday. i would not be surprised when trading comes back tomorrow morning if we see a big pop. stepped the government in and did what it had been signaling it would do. they take quite a lot of lead from the government. i'm pretty sure we will see a rally tomorrow. seeing futures in the shanghai composite index higher. brendan: even if they are not directly intervening, they are intervening through monetary policy. we had jason trennert and mike reagan on the desk with us. as soon as this is over, they've got to sit down and tell american investors what to do. what is your 22nd message for american investors waking up this morning? my message would be to not

get too freaked out by the chinese stock market. at a mediantrading of about 60 times earnings, that compares to 20 in the u.s.. savers only have about 7% of their money in the stock market. brendan: nick wadhams in beijing. his message to america -- don't freak out. we go to our twitter, question, ?sking the same question can the world fly on one engine this is bloomberg "surveillance." ♪

6:30 am
which is what you would expect. just hearing from jason trennert and your other guests, folks were looking for a reaction from the chinese central bank and they got it. this is after the big decline we had in the shanghai composite, 15% drop over two days. reboundedeng overnight but japan did not. the nikkei continued its march lower. u.s. futures reacting to the headlines, we are seeing the again here of free .5%. u.s. futures were already gaining. seeing an extension of those gains as we go through the session. a similar reaction and european stocks, we saw a rally firmly in place -- ice should -- i should say a rebound. an extension of that rebound not just in u.s. futures, but in european stocks as well as we
6:31 am
look at this reaction to china. reaction to china, the reaction to the deep selling we've had. a five-day rout and the global out stockhas wiped market value from global averages. coming back from those levels and then this chinese action definitely adding onto that. there was the expectation that we would see some sort of action . you could even argue that the rebound, some of the rebound in stocks and u.s. futures was an anticipation of something like this happening. and our julie hyman news desk letting us know what happened. news out of china, china has cut its benchmark lending rate 25 basis points. it reduced reserve requirement ratios, injecting money into the system. nnert with us.

the word of kit juckes. it may actually be u.s. equities. here to point us in the right direction is lisa abramowicz, bond market reporter at bloomberg. and jason trennert of strategic s continues with us. all bets are off as it looks like the safe haven trade, ll let's talk about the euro. it was safeday haven and today it is perhaps anything but. the difficulty of finding a safe haven is symptomatically of the post central bank intervention era. the central banks have gone to the bond markets and have basically pushed down yields so far on government bonds that for those same bonds that were traditionally safe haven be atments to once again place that you can stash your money is being called into
6:35 am
question. you're seeing a reversal in yields on the u.s. 10 year and u.s. two-year and u.s. 30 year. we are going back to a situation where bonds are not the supersafe place to park your cash anymore. it sort of shows the dilemma that want investors and other investors are having right now as they try to hedge against downside risk. brendan: jason trennert, this is lesson, risk is everywhere. jason: even private equity, which people are trying to portray as having little risk, i i'ma list here -- intrigued by what you are saying. this is a list of how many companies in the u.s. have lower credit default swaps than sovereign debt. speaks to the idea that many equities, i believe, are really the new sovereigns. they could be proxies for sovereign debt. 58 companies in the u.s. that
6:36 am
have lower credit default swaps than french sovereign debt. there are 75 companies in the u.s. that have lower credit default swap risks than japanese sovereign debt. i'm in agreement with lisa. i don't know how much of value there is or how safe haven, intelligent of a safe haven you are getting if you are getting less than 50 basis points on a sovereign debt. vonnie: lisa: lisa? depends on thef company. this can be fickle. people look at apple, which was driving the u.s. stock market yesterday. i-america. it is questionable whether in 10 years we are going to have ipads and iphones. talking safee are havens, we look to the united states. janet yellen is going to wake up this morning, probably artie has, and look at what happened in china, cutting interest rates. what is the message to janet yellen? jason: the fed has been
6:37 am
consistent and said it is going to be data dependent. .anet yellen is a steady hand she's been chairwoman, she has been involved in central banking for a long time. to use the term your reporter used in china, i don't think she's going to be freaked out by what happened. i think she will see this as a welcome development. vonnie: she will do a little relieved, i would imagine. i want to point out in "the wall street journal," this was the fed's stock price correction and the stock market collapse is the inevitable result of the fed's policies, namely quantitative easing, that produced abnormally low interest rates. much of the miss pricing will likely unwind in the months ahead. the moves this morning really feldstein ishat
6:38 am
saying, we've become a central bank dependent world. government policies -- there is fiscal, monetary, regulatory and trade. on a car, one of the wheels is overinflated. another will, regulatory policy, you are down to the axle. is in aral bank situation where it is the only game in town. central banks are not supposed to do that. they're supposed to create price stability, not generate growth. banke: some of the central influence has basically run its course. you can see that if you look at energy junk bonds. yield has surged to about 12%. it lost 2% yesterday alone. not something i can have a central bank put that can rescue the value. god'sn: from your lips to ears, we need something more than monetary policy. we have looked at the mac monitors and are looking at
6:39 am
federal funds futures. in the time we've been talking, we've actually seen them price in a little higher risk of a september move this morning. probability of that move based on federal funds futures, 26% this morning -- it is now at 28%. the markets are seeing what has happened in china, the extension of credit to the market, and are exhuming -- and are assuming that somebody at the fed is taking notice. fair point.is a data dependent is the phrase. lisa: but what data has changed here? jason: that is my point. lisa: is it more just finger in the wind dependency? data has changed, why would you see the moves being materially changing what the fed wants to do, especially if china is going to be trying to help out the situation.

before. vonnie: is september back on the table for the fed? basically they concern yesterday that we heard from dennis lockhart was stabilization, will it be off the table because markets are unstable? jason: i'm not sure it was ever off the table because this happened so quickly. i think the fed -- i would imagine the fed is taking a broader view. for the extent to which china does not seem to be compounding some of the policy mistakes, i would argue that their embrace of the stock market or encouraging people into the stock market was a policy mistake. to the extent that they are making good policy decision it brings september back on the table. brendan: let me describe what you and i have been trying to do. we keep looking at the news and going turned the car around, jason goes we are ok. vonnie: funny you mention turning the car around.

6:54 am
economy than the u.s. is now or was in 1929. i think china will want to control the story. china will want to control .olatility they've made some attempts to allow their exchange rate, that did not work out well. they've tried to protect their stock market after allowing it to soar. people do not realize how much it had gone up before. this is helpful. this is better than trying to control the stock market. will change the economic growth story, but if it breaks stability to markets, that is positive. vonnie: does this show half fragile financial markets are memberse might be some of the federal reserve saying there's instability here?

7:01 am
turns up your let's start with this morning headlines. a developing story we're following this morning -- china cutting a key interest rate after another steep drive in its stock market. 5th interest-rate cut. these moves come after the shanghai composite fell by more than 7%. of its more than 1/5 value since thursday. the latest attempt to stop the economy's retreat. if chinese troubles are not today. int europe the s&p 500 is coming off the biggest two-day drop in more than six years, so same thing in the u.s. futures indicate stocks will open higher. oil rebounding today. climbedtermediate has somewhat, it fell more than 5% yesterday. despite the market turmoil, the president of the atlanta fed is still expect the central bank to raise interest rates this year.
7:02 am
he will not say if favors an increase next month, but he admits the weakening yuan and stronger dollar all, kate the issue. barclays changed lockhart's forecast yesterday. the bank will probably not raise rates until march. it will be interesting to see if that call continues today. the cofounder of salesforce.com says he is not surprised by the meltdown. marc benioff told bloomberg's emily chang he takes the longer view. evaluation of changes in the currency, of course, you also have a six-year bull market. it has been an unbelievable market run, and there has been a slight shift in the gp in the united states downward in the last two quarters, and those things set up it is time for a normal market correction, but i'm still a long-term believer in the stock market, like warren buffett says, you have to look at the longview.
7:03 am
vonnie: you can see the entire interview with marc benioff. join us for "what did you miss" at 4:00 eastern here on bloomberg tv. two republican presidential .opefuls say china is to blame they want president obama to cancel next month was the visit by china's president. walker says it has tumbled because of china's the relation of the economy -- china's manipulation of the economy. meanwhile, trump said he would give him a mcdonald's hamburger and say we need to get back to work. >> listen, the developments have resounded possibly for donald trump. brendan: everything is positive for donald trump somehow.
7:04 am
jason: it is true, but donald trump has been flirting with becoming president every two years for the last 10 years. he is the only person being consistent about china's manipulation of the economy. vonnie: i want to do a data check. let's take a look at s&p, ,utures pointing about 2% 810-year yield has moved higher by about six basis points -- a 10-year yield has moved higher by about six basis points. $1.1498. nymex crude oil, futures, had theya bit of a risk-on, are higher by about 2.9%. second screen, please. brent crude showing rebound 3.12%, and vicks is above $40.
7:05 am
2.5%.ng markets, about brendan: enforce the markets vonnie is describing are all , fornding to china's drop that, as always, we go to enda curran in hong kong. jason trennert is also with us. there is a parlor game here in new york that goes like this -- how far is the communist party willing to go to say that economy? how to doubt parlor game change this morning with this news? well, i think it is what the global market in china called it to do. it is up to china to try to respond to put things right. it is quite a complicated move today because on the one hand, the move can shore up stocks,
7:06 am
but usually quite conventional policy because earlier today we usinged they're not unconventional policy to intervene in the stock market anymore. so kind of going back to the old playbook. on the other hand, it is about getting liquidity for the system because of the yuan. it have to balance its own policy measures. it is quite a complicated move today. enda, the common criticism of abenomics in japan as they inject liquidity. you could do almost the same accusation of china this morning. sort of twoso angles on this. the liquidity they put into the system is to offset their intervention to support the yuan. that is one side of the story. the liquidity they will inject to go to commercial banks, i two will work. we cannot conclude just yet it
7:07 am
is going the way of abenomics, but they have two different purposes in what they are trying to do today. vonnie: enda, on the point you note it is important to that the choice of instruments that the chinese use this morning is not straightforward. there manufacturers consider how much they want to slow credit. how do you read this movement? what do think the leadership decided today? enda: well, if you set back and look at today in the stock market as chinese stocks have their first -- their worst four-day rise since 1996, putting a freeze on major sales and olli rehn's rest of it, they have opted to go for conventional policies. in june and july has not worked, so now they are trying to target fundamentals, let's cut interest rates, let's
7:08 am
try to get money into the economy and see it that will slow it and help stocks in the process. it is kind of backed to where it started. brendan: ok, enda curran in hong kong, breaking news and to now, about 40 minutes old, they are dropping their benchmark 25 basis points. good thing where jason trennert with us from stretchategas. on are not a freaker outter news like this. how big of a deal is this? ason: it is certainly positive development. there are no two ways about it. i said that i think there was clearly some real concerns that chinese policymakers have lost a lot of credibility with their encouragement of people to buy stocks and then their subsequent mishandling of the route and stocks after that. clearly there are other questions with the devaluation, how they are handling it.
7:09 am
i think this is positive, but as i said, as you were mentioning, too, there are structural problems that china faces, and this will help, but it is not going to be a panacea for what a a the chinese economy. saide: jason, earlier you steve cell up with dividing pockets of value, and you might want to be in the middle. still going? i --on: when you on the soft when you are on the soft like i am, you have to serve two masters. people have short time rise in, and you have people that long was a people who are longer-term investors, as i said before, i think you will feel good about the fact that you are probably in this period buying stocks a year from now. whether you will feel about this two months from now i am not so sure. there is a process where you have to determine what monetary policies will look like in the
7:10 am
u.s. and also how china is going to do with some of the fallout. brendan: briefly, let's look at the very long-term and commodity. things like copper for the basic economy, real quick, is that move merited? does this move in china indicate new commodity demand? jason: no. edge offust taking the what has been a very dramatic three days or four days. brendan: ok, jason trennert, thank you is always for staying in a certain minutes, coming in this morning to help us digest this news, jason trennert of strategas, as always, advising caution. which country has the most to lose from china's slowdown? tweet us -- can the world survive on one engine? tweet us @bsurveillance. ♪

brendan: this is "bloomberg surveillance." with vonnie greeley quinn. tom keene is out today, but he is e-mailing inl. we are looking at u.s. futures. the chinese economy was cratering, now there is some indication of support from the communist party. we are looking at futures continuing their move up this morning. vonnie: not just futures, the german 10-year yield is a big mover, let's hear from mark mobius, a chinese investor.
7:13 am
mark mobius, chairman of the emerging markets group at franklin templeton investments. about their investment strategy. mark: do not get excited here to take two days off, wait for the market to stabilize, and then come in. do not say goodbye when everyone else is selling. take your time. vonnie: so, cautioning to take your time, wait for markets to stabilize. is that today, michael, is that the day that markets stabilize? michael: this is what volatility looks like. it reminds me of 2011 when the u.s. credit rating was cut and we had a 400-point down move up, back-and-forth for a week, but it all depends on what type of investor you are. if you are a young workaday investor like us, and all you

have a 401(k), the laughing you want to do it start tinkering with it. if you are a traitor that is profitable, then you have got your system, and you're are using your system, and you do not really listen to anybody. , i was surprised to look at the roundup of the smaller companies that do not tend to export have dropped as much as the s&p 500, which includes larger companies that do export. are we going to see distinctions today on the market tween companies that sell on china and companies that don't? obviously as he said, smaller companies are more domestically focused, so the stronger dollar is actually a boon for them. they are importing cheaper and selling to u.s. consumers with a lot of spending power. the s&p has a great exposure to form consumers, so if it does not happen today, it is going to happen. brendan: of course, one of those companies apple, having real problems yesterday. tim cook felt that he had to

7:18 am
brendan: this is "bloomberg surveillance." i am brendan greeley with vonnie quinn. you are looking at the stocks, the story yesterday was europe and germany in particular with exports to china had entered a bear market. that is not the story this morning. stoxx 600 europe wide up 3.9%. bush may be making himself look worse instead of better after using the term
7:19 am
"anchor babies." he try to justify using the term. many latinos consider it offensive and a it is more related to asian people who come to the u.s. illegally and have children. that sparks a new round of issues with asian leaders. raised eyebrows among federal regulators. company,his year, the twitter, -- twitter told the sec it would track responses to ads. the company is now not being investigated. and football season kicks off today. if you are mad about madden, the latest version is now on sale, madden 2016. draft fantasy and features and even lets you act like a franchise owner. it retails for $60. it sounds like a lot of fun. brendan: that, and there are now
7:20 am
generations of fun in that $60. madden feels like it is as old as football now. vonnie: i tell you what is a lot of fun and probably fantasy in the markets, we are seeing commodities higher today on the news that china has cut interest rates for a 5th time. specifically, brent up, and wti $39.34.y 3%, with us as michael levy from the council employee relations, a senior fellow there. we also have the book that he co-authored on the screen, "by all means necessary." we also have peter pelikan with us back on the markets. michael, you said there would not be a stabilization until we see a floor for oil. is that where we will end? michael: no one can say with any confidence that they know where
7:21 am
we will land. stabilization is a bit much to ask it one of the key things we have seen is an acceptance that saudi arabia and others will not comment on a regular basis to stabilize prices, so that is not mean they won't hold them at 100 dollars. we have already determined that. you will continue to see surprises on each side. you do not have someone in the market that is to come and iron is out. that means this volatility may be not at this extreme level, but this volatility will continue indefinitely. the commodity story is almost exclusively demand from china. .roadly let's look broadly at what is coming on in the real economy of china, which is the move we saw today from the central bank is sort of one thing that they can do, but it will not necessarily give them any closer toward rebalancing the economy, which is what economists all universally seem to agree that china needs to do. what do they do?
7:22 am
what other sets can the communist party take to get the economy moving toward consumption? michael: this is their fundamental challenge. they have three pieces to deal with it -- they have the stock market, which in some ways does not have a big connection to the broader, real economy, but it affects confidence, politics, and their freedom to move. then we have a short-term challenge of getting the economy running in the short run, then the have the redeveloping challenge. part of the problem is some of what they will do to deal with one of those challenges is going to hurt them on the other. vonnie: peter, let me bring you and here from bloomberg intelligence. you see oil rallying today, but maybe because of the application, china might do something. maybe it is something else entirely. we still have wti below $40 a barrel. does it stay here? the oil markets have obviously been negatively reacting to the fact that china is falling or cratering, and at
7:23 am
the very best, though, this is likely a short-term rally. brendan: peter, you have done some good work that you sent to us about demand globally. supply with the advent of fracking in the u.s., can you paint a picture of the next year of what demand will look like? let's step back from this morning's news. peter: if you look at the longer scope of how things move, demand is no longer really being driven by the maturing, rich world. it is really driven by emerging economies such as china and india. that consumption growth is expected to drive oil prices higher, but unfortunately, as you're seeing right now, that demand is not there. the world is now looking for where is the next driver of demand growth. unfortunately, as we look into the landscape, there is not much out there. brendan: really there are two inches, one of the u.s., which is not performed up to speed, and china, which is not performing at all right now.
7:24 am
is it fair to say that the chinese engine is in flames? michael: i don't not know if "in flames" is right, will but we certainly have mechanics on the scene. the long-term, you are right, people are looking more on demand than they were a few months ago when the focus was entirely on supply. when the price first crashed, it was just crushing at the front end of the curve and the backend and was still sort of fixed, so that means he will solve there was a lot of supply. now over the last few months, prices have fallen at the front end and back end. that is a sign that people think we may be settling in for a fundamental balance between supply and demand, and that is driven in substantial part by expectations of lower demand. brendan: that is really interesting to hear you talk about that because a lot of predictions that we get, vonnie, here on set basically show the price of oil going back up. that honestly feels like a hopeful reversion to the means scenario rather than

7:35 am
also pushed up the currency and her their exports, so of course the economy is slowing because of monetary policy errors. a rate cut is a good thing. the trouble with the pboc is that what it has done is been piecemeal and has failed to explain to the markets what its intentions are, so i think the effectiveness rate cuts, as positive as it is, is not nearly enough. the pboc has to do more, it has to explain itself to the markets. brendan: help us understand this in u.s. terms. one of the innovations of ben bernanke's and janet yellen said is increase communication of your what kind of things do the pboc need to do to make these rate cuts have some kind of meaning? what do they need to engage in? david: first of all, has to say they cannot keep the rmb tied to tied to a rising dollar. it should have cited to singapore, to trading partners.
7:36 am
second, have to say that real interest rates are too high, and it wants to reduce real interest rates, so should've done a 200 or 300 basis point cut to begin with. ppi, that a negative is still effectively extremely high real interest rates for most chinese businesses. this cutn other words, may not be the end of it, and we could see much more bigger cuts to come. so what would that do, then, to u.s. markets and the federal reserve's thinking? david: the federal reserve in my view should not be threatened to tighten into a very weak economy. nds futures have actually driven commodity prices and the dollar almost tick for take for the last six month. the federal reserve's erroneous view of the u.s. economy is far too optimistic, and it's broken model as the source of the problem in the first place.
7:37 am
the big news is that this is a noncrisis, it is a panic created by central bank errors and could easily be it alleviated by a correction of those central bank errors. i'm looking to the fed to say, than things are different we thought, so probably we should sit on our hands and not do very much until the dust settles." in that case, the markets would come back. is engaging in monetary policy because everything else seems to be difficult. fact, china in liberalized both deposit and lend rates past one year in the same move. that is probably the most important thing that came out of the pboc announcement overnight. it was not contained in any of the news reports, but our china economic team was translating
7:38 am
the release for me just as i left the office. that is an extremely important flea market liberalization move. it is part of the overall foreign package, and indicates the seriousness to the chinese government to pursue reforms even as it were under fire, so that is long-term and extremely positive development. i think it has to be emphasized that with the changing china at the low 7,ex we are at the all-time low. we are at the same level we were at 2000 eight, so from the standpoint of a patient investor looking at the broad ties and reforms of monetary policy, hong kong stocks are extremely cheap right now. brendan: thank you, david goldman, from hong kong, the managing director of reorient group. vonnie, it was interesting to hear him talk about the other things we did not see in the english language press releases, and what assessed me is china's really appealing to the imf.

how do we get from the pboc to the ruble? risk-off, risk aversion tight play, everything moved too far in one direction, and now you're a sibling getting a rebalancing in equities and currencies across the world. brendan: we have a panel here, michael levi is here, you made a noise like you can explain the ruble. michael: if i see brent moving up, the ruble has been moving very closely with oil prices. vonnie: are these moves related to oil, or are they correlated with the potential and not just potential but actual central-bank moves? michael: i think it is a mix depending on where you are looking in the world. if you are looking at russia, it is closely tied to oil. if you are looking at what looks like a rebound in the united, it has much -- united states, as much more to do with the broader economy. katia: initially, stocks in the em world were rallying before china made its move. it could be a dead cat rallying initially. vonnie: exactly, and maybe some

7:49 am
reacting to the unstable market? jonathan: i am afraid it will be seen as the second more. the room for interest rate cuts has been seen for a sometime in china. inflation is very low, there is no reason not to of donna's, they want to ease monetary policy to push of growth, but they put off this interest rate change again and again, and now of course it will be seen as a reaction to what has happened over the last few days, particularly in the stock market. is the: jonathan, what next nonmonetary step that china should take, and what if the next nonmonetary step that they are actually going to take? jonathan: well, i think they should do what they may be doing with the following the shanghai market. they should let the market find its own level. that is the first thing, have the guts for that, to let through the reform process. what they should be doing is to be starting a meaningful program
7:50 am
to deal with the state-owned enterprises. these are often monolithic listicions -- monicopo operations. they lend to growth and job creation, but the reform process really has not got to grips with keds problem at all, linn with the state owned enterprise problem, you need to do something about excess capacity, 20% or so in steel, also in major heavy industries. you need to deal with excess capacity to deal with inflation, which has been haunting china for three years ago. those are steps which leadership should be taking pretty quickly now. brendan: jonathan, i have michael levi from the council on foreign relations with us in the studio. i will let him jump in with a question. michael: jonathan, there is clearly a struggle going on in the communist party, over the leadership over exactly how to proceed. how does what is happening in
7:51 am
the market now affect the relative power of the reformers and those who would rather go a bit slower? jonathan: well, i think the stock market gyrations of summer will put a cloud over the reformers. they will say look, this is the danger you get into when you liberalize, when you allow the market to have its head. reformers are still there. pushmade a bit of a forward with the change in the fixing rate for the renminbi, but you will see very quickly the authorities came in and put a floor under the currency. that is maybe linked with joining sbr's across the fed. i do not think xi jinping or the leadership are in any political danger at the moment. i know some people have speculated on that. it may be that the outcome of all of this will actually be more orthodoxy and less of an inclination to flirt with the reform, which is exactly what china needs.
7:52 am
i mean, that is reform in the us, not to flirt with it. brendan: jonathan fenby in london, he runs the china team for trusted sources for trusted sources. we have michael levi from council on foreign relations here with us in the studio. what does this uncertainty do for china's infrastructure plans around the world? all the money they have been spending everywhere, in brazil, nicaragua, africa. michael: i think you can look at at least one or two ways. if chinese demand at home is not materializing, if you do not have a need for putting in new infrastructure at the pace they need to essentially absorb their excess capacity, then that create appetite for doing more abroad in order to absorb their capacity and so on. at the same time, we are talking about the politics, and you have the anticorruption trials still going on. no one wants to get their head out to far.
7:53 am
going and doing exciting ventures, everyone in the world, it is not something leaders are going to do unless they are really confident that they are not going to get burned. vonnie: michael, let me bring up a chart that was sent in from tom keene, missing the action this morning. brendan: [laughs] vonnie: the one-year real rate in china, we heard that from jonathan fenby as well from trusted sources, we are well away from the lows, where it had been here what can we infer from this? michael: i do not know what i can infer except they have a lot further that they can go. they are balancing so many different imperatives here. we had one person talking about how this is ill essentially a short-term move, and they need to figure how to get longer-term change happening. brendan: carl, everything with her this morning, the news that has come out of the pboc, the liquidity they have and injected into banks as well, what does the chinese engine look like? carl: there are big questions to the degree of which is actually
7:54 am
