all big opec officials are on vacation. there could not have been real high-level discussions on this. when you actually cut see iran is increasing its output? factors that had an lowering u.s.-- production by 87,000 barrels a day. is that a big number? alix: they have 9.4 million barrels a day. goldman sachs raised the question, there needs to be even lower prices. ongoing productivity gains, higher grading, you are getting more for less in the oil community. more damage needs to be done to the oil price in order for these sustain production cuts to be felt.

scarlet: let's put this all into context here and bring another asset classes. in other asset classes. you can covering fixed income for years. how often have you heard about european bond yields move in oil? lisa: this is a bit of a challenge right now when you put policymakers and bond investors -- you have a direct correlation with the move in oil prices and the moves in the safe haven bonds. u.s. treasuries and the german bund. we don't know the technicals behind each move. ea changes the proclamation, does that immediately affect bond yields? this could complicate the matter for investors looking to bond yields to get clues on are we headed toward inflation or deflation. it is for policymakers looking at this and saying should we anse rates, is this

indication that people are ratcheting back expectations or is this purely a technical blip? the decline in oil prices is a transitory trend. scarlet: not something they want to take into account when it comes to inflation and what they do next. what about other policymakers? carney.aghi or mark lisa: they have talked about concern in the drop in oil prices. europe is much more directly affected by the slowdown in china. more so than even the u.s. to the extent that the drop in oil prices of late has been related at all to what's going on in china, there is a tangible reason this slows the european

economy and goes beyond just a technical on guilt correlation issue. -- bond yield correlation issue. alix: the community will see even lower prices going for it. barclays had a note talking about the next glut might be in the product market. a record high right now come 81 million barrels a day in july. refiners work really hard, making a lot of product, margins are awesome, make too much product, margins not awesome, they will not work as hard, the crude.ess scarlet: how are investors positioning themselves when they look at this correlation? lisa: it depends on their worldview. what is your biggest fear? deflation, inflation, you want to hold a lot of cash? people have to stick with that. rather than look to some kind of

correlation. even a correlation changes over time. alix: you can see it on the chart. just a few months ago, that was a negative correlation. lisa: they are moving in such lockstep. or the oil and bond yields in the getting the reducing expectations for growth. scarlet: what is the leading indicator here? is it the oil or the yields? alix: look at how many shorts are in the oil market and you will know what's going to happen. one headline and you have a powerful rally. lisa: it's hard to tell. there is some disparity right now. the five years are not showing the expectations for such a slowdown in growth as you would think. bond yields have been distorted. there are a lot of technical issues that make it hard for me

japan, 1%, europe, 1%. as long as there is no recession -- one thing that was negative about the situation, the rate stories, the economy has to be good, tubing. too.s to be good, lisa: what about energy jump bonds? -- junk bonds? pimco has for a number of months found select opportunities were there are good buys to be had in that sector. that will continue to be the case. there's one final note, prices next year probably do rise a little bit. it will be fixing itself slowly, but surely. scarlet: there is an energy component and the never worn

they pounce on it. this is what the individual has to try to do. they tend to show more anxiety than institutions. lisa: was the riskiest investment heading into the end of the air? tony: to bet against central banks. investors when they show this nervousness say we don't think they will be able to keep it together. economies will succumb to weakness. that is bad for bonds and stocks that depend on cash flow. don't bet against central banks. scarlet: which central banks? been a lot of skepticism towards the people's bank of china. they will learn the things they need to do to stabilize markets.
