olivia: good morning everybody in way bounceback we are seeing in the market right now. u.s. stocks surging higher after the opening. another bloodletting in asia, the chinese central bank intervening and cutting rates for the fifth time since november. new home sales numbers out right now. we want to go to julie hyman who has the numbers. to an a rebounded annual percent. 500-7000 versus the 510,000 rights that economist on average had been estimating. show the biggest
10:01 am
rebounded in a year. we are seeing demand her new house expand as we have been seeing the jobs market expand to some extent. we also have a measure of confidence coming out in the past few moments. that is much higher than the 93.4 the analyst had been estimating. this is higher for the month of august, the survey was done in the early part of the month before the stock market selloff. but this would seem to be an encouraging number, 101.5 is the reading. last time we had this number, it is the highest since january. bead on a big consumer confidence, something else or janet yellen to way.
10:02 am
now we want to go to phil mattingly. wille u.s. federal deficit be laundered previously forecasted for 2015 at 26 team. this number is just crossing now. the cbi's also forecasting that growth in the fourth quarter of comparedill increase to quarter over quarter what did have previously forecasted, now estimated 3.1% versus 2.9%. these deficit numbers, about $414 billion will be the deficit in the fiscal year starting on october 1. that was previously at $455 billion. so we might be a little down on deficit reduction, and of a little bit on growth projections. that is just coming out right now. economisttter than an had forecasted. thank you. we will see you later in the show. let's look at how markets are digesting all this news.
10:03 am
you can see the dow, the s&p, pickingaq, the rally is up a little momentum. but the magnitude of today's rally does not match the selling we saw yesterday. 2 percent.up by -- mastec up nearly 3% nasdaq is up nearly 3%. futures surged higher this morning before the news that the chinese are again cutting their rates. treasury market is having a major turnaround. the yield is rising for the first time in five days. the 10 year eight basis points were trading at a yield of 2.08%. meanwhile, in a lot of movement in the commodities market. oil is kind catching the rebou. at them stillg
10:04 am
trading below $40 a barrel. for a closer look at the global market moves i want to bring in jurrien timmer. thank you for joining us. volatility we are seeing, is it off the table? i think the odds of a hike are now down to 10%, 20%. it was about 50 percent about a does just a few weeks ago. i would hope that the fed will use this opportunity to wait a little bit longer to start is lift off, because we do have some volatility and some market been goingthat has on. my guess is that unless markets really stabilize very quickly from here, that they will push it back until december. olivia: how does the fed is justified not? -- that?
10:05 am
boosting the forecast for u.s. growth. forecast for the deficit for the deficit. sales coming in better than expected. consumer confidence at 101. how does the fed justify waiting? we are pretty healthy data on the u.s. economy. jurrien timmer: that really is the debate. an appointment is down to 5.2%. at or near the inflation threshold of the look at -- that they look at. whyhose measures, that is they have been coming out in the public in saying september his life -- is live. oftainly, that is one side the argument. but if you look at the market indicators, inflation expectations, the tips breaking them, don point 1.1%, the well target, thed 2%
10:06 am
credits have really jumped on high-yield spreads. i think the spread yesterday was 560 basis points. we have some more market volatility. it depends on whether they're looking at market signals or just the economic data. from a market signals perspective, they have waited this long to lift off, and my guess is that the market is telling than to wait a little bit longer. from my perspective, when the fed listens to the market, they are better off doing so. olivia: interesting. you thinkre of what the consequences are of the widening we are seeing in credits threat? : is part of it is the energy sector. that feeds into the stock market, because even though energy is only a part of the s&p 500, it has contributed to an outsized amount of earnings to
10:07 am
the market and the snow taking it away. so we looking at earnings for the stock market is basically flat for 2015. we're looking at the consensus estimate. that is all energy. up about 7% or so. in same thing happens to high-yield, where it high-yield the energy sector is actually about 15% of the market, double of for it usually is. that is because of the shale revolution and all of the capital spending projects that were taking place because of that. a lot of the spread widening in high yield is the result of energy. part of it is also investors taking a more risk off of you, heart of it as part of the fact that in his august and people are on vacation so there's not as much look at it. when you do get selling, it tends to be felt more quickly in the markets. olivia: that is what it felt like yesterday. where do you think we are on equity valuations? : i thinkimmer
10:08 am
valuations before this decline over the past week or so, by my were fair. they were not cheap, but they were not rich. 17 times earnings, they were fairly valued and not a lot of margin for error. with earnings coming down because of oil prices that are below $40 a barrel, like gases that the fair value will come down a little bit, but the market come down more. i would say that the market is getting more attractively valued. olivia: final question on we are the selloff seeing in european equities has been incredible. the dax, and fair territory. possible given that mario draghi and easy be just launched qe? : this is aner unusual occurrence. want to invest in whatever country is best doing inftion.
10:09 am
that is what the ecb is doing with a 60 euro month qe. the markets for a crown that so that the other markets rally well in advance of the qe actually happening in march. it really started last fall when mario draghi wasn't the jackson hole fed conference, employing that it was going to be more action to be taken there. stocks go up, currency goes down, but what we have seen the last series is the opposite. i think that has to do with china. the economy is clearly slowing, i think that is why they are devaluing the currency, that is why they are using. it is a reflection of a slowing economy. if china slows, then the countries that are more affected are of course other emerging markets, countries like result, but also japan, and europe were more directly competing for china's exports and the u.s. is in a relatively
10:10 am
better place. we are relatively closed economy , 13% exports. the dollar goes down because the likelihood of the fed rate hike has been pushed back. all of that has translated into a stronger euro and with the chinese, i am not surprised the dax is down. olivia: thank you so much. still i had him a much more on the bloomberg market day. we minutes into the trading session. -- are just 30 minutes into the trading session. look at where the dow is. ♪
10:13 am
olivia: good morning and welcome back to the bloomberg market day. let's go straight to julie hyman with a look at the markets. julie: let's get the latest check on where the major averages are at the moment. as you pointed out, we are not recouping anywhere near close to the decline we have seen, certainly not yesterday or over the last couple of days. but a strong rebound that we're averages. the major we are also seeing a lot of the individual stocks rebounding. therest time i checked were only 19 stocks in the s&p 500 that were lower, everything else was higher. seeing thehat is snapback effect is apple. for fiveen down session straight, it is now up about five said this morning. wells fargo is upgrading the
10:14 am
stock from outperform. had it seemed to be overdone, and that seems to be the number of estimates. also, you have to put in perspective this move and not the we have seen in stocks and remember, the apple record was back in february. it tried to make another run at that in july. this is july 20 break between there and yesterday we saw 22% rate 20% with the definition of a bear market rate we are bouncing back from that level today. the other notable stock is worth mentioning is best buy. everything else is snapping back, but this is rising on fundamental news. the company coming out with news and possible sales of 3.8%. the applesaid that watch sales are doing pretty well. that is ready different from what we heard from others. olivia: indeed, interesting.
10:15 am
let's look at the headlines crossing the bloomberg terminal. the big story this morning is that china central bank is fraying of money to help if the stock market collapsed and the people's bank of china is cutting interest rates for the fifth time since november. it is also lowering the amount of cash the chinese banks must set aside. the shanghai composite fell more than some sense today -- more than 7% on monday. alibaba's urging workers to stay focused and ignore plunging stock prices. yesterday they fell below their ipo price break the online retailer has now lost $128 billion in market values this november the. telling the alibaba workers that this is not the last time the market will plunge. and saudi arabia is planning to cut billions of dollars from next years budget, because of slumping oil prices.

10:17 am
was my window to exit i used them projections at some of the indicators were converting just confirming this and the new high. 2100, andht it at sold at 4950, so that i thought that was good enough. olivia: now there are below 3000. one of the charge you are look again telling of -- what are the charge you were looking at telling you? 31i had targeted about hundred 3000 and i have a revised target. i think near term we've probably racked back up to 3400 or so. around 20700i start to look do not commodities, i know a lot about that.
10:18 am
whether china is going to hit some major loves, there is a lot of pressure in emerging-market currencies right now. u.s.a: how about the dollar? what charts are you watching to inform your analysis? >> it is very interesting and very rare that you see the safe haven of the euro and the japanese yen when the dollar is very strong. we think the euro, the canadian dollar is weak, but the dollar is strong there, so it is quite divided and that has a lot to do with perception of them. olivia: you think the dollar is wobbly for the rest of 2015? >> from this area, maybe i could slip and little bit lower if we go to 104 and then correct back about five months or so. i think it's here you will see
10:19 am
it is equal to one. left.is still more leg market a huge rout in currencies. with one are you comfortable being bullish on? the look at here one as place to be. the turkish lira is a little bit weaker, but if i saw the brazil index and they had a good level, i would be interested in shifting into some of those few are one currencies while .emaining short olivia: let's just stick with the resilient rail for a second and what you think, since they
10:20 am
are in recession? >> a lot of people looking at , and for big from perspective, that was one of the --st currencies i will try to phase in a 3.8 and coordinate that with the equities, that is a technical reversion trade, for the riau. i think interest rates will end up benefiting the type of trade. olivia: this may be a little unfair, but i want to wrap it up with more of a next special question about the market. given all the chart you look at, what is your belief of how correlated developed markets are two emerging-market -- to emerging markets? >> that was one of my key themes
10:21 am
from august on working without they would drag the developed markets in. y areare still links, the below 11,300, and this started to roll into the developed markets relaxing they have another leg down to 1750 were show. i think there is a developed routes still coming that should come at the end of september. and then there is a nice rally in u.s. equities. olivia: thank you so much. coming from a much more including no home sales numbers -- coming up, much more, including new home sales numbers. joe weisenthal joins us to help make sense of what this means. ♪

10:25 am
if that is totally justified. in the markets quiet dynamic continue to get the data through the next few, who knows? september still seems possible. olivia: it does when the fed fun futures rates are about 20%. it raises interesting theoretical questions. read you a quote from 1998. that the changes in the global economy and the justice financial markets me -- and adjustments in u.s. financial markets means that it should we slightly lower going forward. now, soellen plan different leadership in but it is the precedent. joe: if the site were to follow the 1998 book, and delay the
10:26 am
ikes due to volatility, the flipside of that was a very fast catch up if they do that again, and they wait until next year, that the expectation would be that it would be an aggressive hiking cycle and would not be in a better. olivia: what do you think of the $40 oil? >> i think they really like that. it is the deflation they like to see. it is fine if it is commodity-based inflation. it makes their life easier. thank you so much. ♪

olivia: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. with two men who know their markets. what about spec we are seeing in the market -- what about spec we are seeing in the market. catalyst?e is the pboc coming in with the same line? i think it is both. the selling got a little out of hand yesterday and overshot on the downside of what people wanted to do. what is interesting to me is that futures were much stronger than what the cash market looks like now, even before they came
10:36 am
out with their rate announcement. it was a little bit of a disappointment. it is hard to say that with them up 250 points, but i would have elected to city stronger. -- liked it if they were stronger. they telegraph it to you from a mile away. they give people a a lot of time to prepare. china, it is like an improv troupe. there is a lot of policy decisions that take time to get used to. of a great scene from the wire, where this middle manager is teaching the kids how to ihs and they're playing checkers on a test or -- chessboard. you have a nice from china coming and you knock out. it is a difficult game. i do not watch the wire.
10:37 am
it is too depressing. the important thing to keep in mind is that a lot of people were not here yesterday. it was monday, it is in august weekend. readu look at the most stories on the bloomberg terminal in the past eight hours, but the top 10, inc. of them are from yesterday. that tells you that a lot of people are coming into work today and catching up with what happened yesterday. one of the themes that i heard from people that we had on yesterday, and we had a load of -- amazing guests, all of them were saying that china has to do something. we need to see policy moves from china before we move forward to and then he saw yesterday, 23 billion dollars in liquidity pumped back into the market. we saw interest rates cut. isn't enough? that is a question you can debate.
10:38 am
even on the dow, we've lost 1600 tradingn the last seven days. so getting back 300 today is not a huge forward, it is just a sign that the market is seeing the movie and wanted to and is looking toward september. now the question of whether the fed raises rates, that is not a done deal. i do not think it is a done deal that september is off the table. olivia: and this morning we got better than expected. matt: and if we continue to get that, it is no reason that the fed should be worried about a 3% move in china. i do not believe it. , futureshen i woke up were indicating a 600 point move.
10:39 am
now we are at 270 points. mike: futures can send in an exaggerated look. hedging purposes, not a fundamental stance on the market. but on an upside, when you see that much upside in futures, you would expect a bigger bounce and what we are seeing. olivia: we have had some fantastic guest over the last couple of days. we want to play little bit of sound from the most interesting. continues,olatility then the fed will be very confident it will not want to fuel further volatility. >> they will not want to raise rates. >> they will wait. >> they were in a box, and they needed an excuse not to raise rates, because they've missed the window, and they got it in this whole mix up. >> i think they want to raise rates. get over ito
10:40 am
depends because i think they are tired of the artificial rates and being a zero rate environment. >> we do not need rates at zero. >> it interferes with price discovery. >> it is like a two-year-old with a tantrum, if you take away their candy. three or four. >> if they raise rates in september, i think it will provide a certain amount of research to markets -- reassurance to markets. september rate rises off the table. >> it is still a possibility. difficult technically because it is obviously very thin on the liquidity situation for the banks of the holiday. >> i think the global economy can handle it. i think the federal reserve
10:41 am
ought to get going. >> we will see how the data comes in before i think they will make any sort of big determining factor of what it is going to do. olivia: right now, the fed funds futures rates price is a 20% chance that it will raise rates in september. if they wait, how do they justify it? to thehey do point weakness overseas. but it will be interesting to play that mash-up in jackson hole. i wonder if they listen to analysts like this. olivia: it is not part of their mandate. mike: it is not one of their top goals, but they certainly react to it. they took note of the swing and stocks, porsche are commanded to not want this type of volatility. they probably expected a little bit of it before the september meeting. this might be a lot more than they were expecting. matt: i'm surprised we do not hear more from a time in there. he is the institutional investor, number one ranked wall

10:43 am
olivia: a lot of people say they is no problem. another question is what is happening in the emerging markets and a lot of things i hear is is this 1998 again? mike: there is some comparisons. the similarities being that currencies could not hold that peg any longer and they had to adjust and the markets freaked out about that. what i have read in the announcements i have seen is the balance sheets of the asian governments are a lot stronger than they were in 1998, for sure. mike: and most of the currencies are not paid anymore. of the emerging markets were pegged, and a lot of them are free-floating because of 1998 the only huge problems you see are the ones that remain pegged releasing that peg now. there has been pent-up issues, and you see the currency in cosmic stan getting released and falling 20%. currenciesng-market
10:44 am
are not paid anymore, and they have a strong -- mike: and the free-floating ones are pretty conservative. but obviously, there are some it is silly to try to model this year after a year in the past, but it still shows there are some similarities that you cannot ignore. the pressure problem was in the end of that crisis, and the problems are on the front end of this one, but there is still this global contagion that you have to worry about. olivia: thank you so much. matt miller, let's give you a flood. -- plug. fun. that was matt: later on in the hour, i have a guy who cut his teeth on the argentinian debt crisis. he knows what it emerging-market debt crisis looks like, and we will look at asking him if using
