6:05 am
focused on brazil. what did you see in research notes this morning? francine: stocks are incredibly , falling not only because of expectations from the fed, but repercussions from merging -- emerging markets. we have a lot of exposure. because of the spotlight we had on brazil's credit rating being cut to junk, a lot of people say this was a knee-jerk reaction that prompted a lot of analysts to cut down on these retail stocks exposed to brazil this morning and that accentuated the decline. a new zealand rate cut, as well. i-30 you and jonathan are going about the mystery of what the bank of england will
6:06 am
do. is there really a mystery? francine: the mystery will not be on interest rates. it will be on how they look at china. you were mentioning new zealand. you see a lot of central banks continuing to adjust monetary policy to combat slowing economic activity. we are not expecting anything real from the bank of england. we will try to get an insight about their view on inflation. see if the turmoil they have seen in china and the emerging markets will delay their interest rate hike. olivia: that is certainly what we want to hear. last summer, we were expecting the bank of england to be the first central bank to tighten. now we are waiting on the fed. what has changed? francine: we have had a lot of disappointing economic data in the u.k. wage growth was there, but it was so minimal. that thebout the fact
6:07 am
u.k. is strong, but services are not as good as expected because of the extra burden of regulation. recent evidence points to disappointing data and manufacturing. that is coupled with turmoil in the fact that the u.k. is such a smaller economy compared to the u.s.. a lot of people are saying, why would you go first? tom: right. there is a price to pay, possibly, for going first. francine lacqua will join us at the net -- top of the next hour. we turn to the american economy. one of our most popular guests with an exceptionally popular -- cautious call on the american economy and number of months ago. on glimmersto date of optimism that you see or do you go with the recent economic data and possibly a growth slowdown? >> glimmers of optimism. the glimmers i would pullout is
6:08 am
that we don't see a recession yet. that is a glimmer of optimism. when you look inside of the ,mployment, the jobs market there is one cohort that is doing better. when you look at the employment when you lookio at people who do not have a high , they haveoma recovered most of their recessionary job losses. americans havene not recovered anything. tom: i'm so glad you brought this up. there was a fabulous chart this weekend showing what you are talking about. the quality of the jobs, the 200,000 jobs per month we are creating, the great theme is that they are lousy jobs. do you buy that ig -- idea?
6:09 am
lakshman: that is what the employment ratio shows. it is on the backs of very cheap labor. if you are banking on a consumer to show up at the holiday season purchasingon, the power is not there. if you are blanking -- banking , theflation to show up reason the phillips curve has failed for so many years is because it is right there in the data come the people who are getting jobs are not earning very much. olivia: this hits on your idea of the two americas, the two different economies. if the fed does raise rates, how does the fed justify that? richard fisher says let's get going. larry summers and richard fisher
6:10 am
could not be farther apart. lakshman: we asked the question in january 2015, if not now, when? since the beginning of the year, we have been decelerating. this is not a forecast, this is a fact. when you look at the coincident together,puts it all it has been slowing since the beginning of the year. at the forward-looking indicators and the slowdown is not over. that is an unusual situation for the fed to hike in. olivia: what you have been thatng at is telling you the economy has been slowing since the start of the year. lakshman: if you look at it on a year-over-year basis, it is at a one-year low e. if you look at gdp and gdi, the government is producing both of those together.
6:11 am
the same quarter, gdi is a 0.6%. both of them are faulty measures. when you put them together, it is at a one-year low. olivia: how about the jobs report --jewel's report yesterday? lakshman: ok. job openings have jumped up and hiring some gone negative. look. the coincident index is at a 16-month low. we are not in a recession yet and we don't see one yet. that is the good news. but the vector, to use your word, is in the wrong direction. tom: we will address the disparities in america coming up in this hour. we have a special treat for you next. gene munster of piper jaffray on apple. everybody is not focused on the iphone. i agree. the magic is the upgrade cycle

last 50 years. in the wake of the crisis, access to credit just disappeared. inyou need some money to get and put equity down on something, you have to have some assets in order to do so. you could see how that would exacerbate things. maybe now, if some credit eventually starts to flow, people who were lower down in the economic layer can get some access. i don't know. tom: you were wired into the new york community. olivia was just in austin, texas. low inflation drives migration to cities. lakshman: sure. tom: there is a lot of historical research on that. urban-centeredb with the low-inflation in equity. lakshman: totally. in fact, you saw globally.

8:04 am
yesterday, will we continue to see use of cash through thick and thin? dividend growth and share buybacks with cash flow? anne: in the u.s. in particular you have seen so much of that going on and in this environment where money is essentially free, i think until we change shareholder management incentives, will continue to see that as that is what the incentives are put in place to do. josh: as -- pimm: as someone that is interested in music, in association with the scottish chamber orchestra. what tilt with a be playing if they were playing to the subject of inflation? anne: what on earth would you say to that one? something calm. a mendelson kind of space. tell us about your view of inflation. anne: inflation is the dog that
8:05 am
has not arced the cycle. we have central banks whose mandate is to keep inflation under control. maybe it was something in the broader market. in a world where there is no inflation, it seems to me that the idea that you hike interest rates just because they are very low and that worries us, it does not seem compelling. i don't see that in this inflationary world we are in, there is any compelling case to raise interest rates anywhere around the world. pimm: so what happens with the federal reserve? tom: we see the tension with larry summers this morning. a huge debate. anne: there is a big debate. those who believe we should have an interest rate hike, their only two arguments. the first is we have hit the 5% unemployment rate which -- japan has run with rates at about that level for 20 odd years without inflation.
8:06 am
that does not seem to be a compelling reason. the other reason, if you don't raise rates you will not be evil to cut them only going to recession. that seems counterintuitive because you will put the country into recession if you get it wrong to raise rates. has the bull market been broken? anne: i think there has been a realization that asset price inflation as opposed to goods inflation has been stretched pretty far and if you are not seeing underlining earnings coming through, continue progress is pretty unlikely. my best guess is the equity markets will continue to bump around. we will not see any dramatic action. we had such a historic moment yesterday for all the united kingdom with the queen traveling to your scotland. it was really something to see this historic moment going back hundreds and hundreds of years.
8:07 am
nichola sturgeon in scotland. whether that mean for the people in scotland? anne: i think the connection that has been made, queen victoria, the previous longest reigning monarch, was the one who really brought scotland back into the royalist fold. 1707, another 130 years for victoria to do that. anne: victoria fell in love with scotland. since then, the royal family has holiday to in scotland every year pretty much ever since. spent largemother part of her time in scotland as well. the fact that she chose to celebrate this day in scotland was significant. tom: how is the economy of scotland doing? there is an uproar in the united kingdom over any number of topics. how is the scottish economy
8:08 am
doing? 2.8% annualized growth in the first quarter of this year which was actually ok. the scottish economy, despite the fact that there are jobs being squeezed out of the oil ,ector which is a big employer low oil prices are unofficial because jobs are created elsewhere. i have been to the mount where they get to show the distillation -- tom: i'm surprised he went there first. pimm: i want to ask ann richards , let's say you get a call from someone in the royal household and they want you to put together a portfolio, what is the first step? $2 millionve to take because that would be chump change from baby george, what do you do? anne: the first, figure out if
8:09 am
there are liquidity requirements. if they need cash, is their income or is a chance of cash for capital? what is the liquidity you need because that dictates how you access some of the underlying drivers. i believe in diversification on a longer-term basis so i like real assets, infrastructure, some hedge in private equities that give you different drivers. i like certain and cody markets and stocks within equity markets -- i like certain would he and stocks within equity markets. what do you do with an apple computer? it is a required own. they are in their own bear market/correction. is it a council of patients? anne: i am an apple fan in terms of the product, not necessarily the stock price.

8:31 am
index down. tom: jobless claims still exceptional below 300,000. pimm fox and tom keene and with us one of the most thoughtful economists in the game, dean maki joins us. at at pointy 70 -- now point72. have you ever seen this polarity? dean: i think the most similar time was in june of 2003. the fed was thinking of cutting rates. there was debate. wall street was evenly split. it is unclear a week before the meeting -- tom: you don't have a professional guess what they are
8:32 am
going to do? dean: i think if the meeting were held today, the fed -- the problem with having a strong stance right now is that the fed has made markets a big part of the decision. if markets rally significantly that may induce the fed to raise rates. is it an anomaly that you would go around the country and listen to people talk about their business and say business is pretty ok and then look at the worry that is being expressed by investors? why does that disconnect exist? dean: part of it is fears coming out of asia, especially china. there is uncertainty about how much the chinese economy is going to slow. how much of a ramification that will have on other economies. we won't see that in the u.s. for a long time. in the u.s. economy looks like it is rolling around well. i think that is what is sponsored will for the disconnect. make ahat is be wrong to
8:33 am
connection between small and mid-cap stocks in the united states? dean: i think there is a divergence. those who are focused on domestic consumption, domestic housing, those companies are doing well. those companies who are trying to export to asia, china, they are running into more headwind. that is a split in the economy that looks like it will continue. pimm: if that split continues, will it show up in asset prices? dean: it will in a relative sense. the stock market is trying to value these companies according to their future sales. it is unclear to what extent this should have a big impact on overall u.s. market valuation. i think that is what investors are struggling with now. tom: i look at the debate of the moment. to me, it is smart phd's like you working in a dynamic space trying to figure out what the future is. where so many people are requesting a static call.
8:34 am
forget about the trajectory, just raise rates once and say we will do it once, sit there and look for more data. why can't janet yellen or mark carney do that? why can't they say, we are at the zero bound, everyone knows we are wrong, once and we are done. dean: i think that is the argument of the more hawkish members of the community. hawkishple who are less , their point is, we are at full employment according to the fed's standard definition. by we still sitting at zero? we can always stop if we need to. pimm: as far as the oil industry in the united states, i believe the house is taking steps to improve the export of crude oil. how will that affect the u.s. economy? dean: i think anytime you loosen retractions like that, it is a positive. the issue is that the oil we
8:35 am
make is not always best for our own refineries. it is hard to say we are economically better off by hindering that trade in some way . i think any step like that is a long-term positive. christoph, bring your camera over here -- tom: christoph, bring your camera over here. i will put this out on bloomberg radio. this is where we have not raised rates. have been atd we the zero bound for ever and ever. dean maki, this is not in your textbooks. dean: it is not something we have seen before and not something that is usually talked about at length in a macroeconomics class for example . we are in a non-precedent situation. i think that is why there is a split among different members and how they view things right now. pimm: what is the biggest mistake you've made over the last 12 months --
8:36 am
tom: not coming on bloomberg surveillance enough. pimm: your biggest triumph? dean: i think the thing that i have been able to call was that the unemployment rate would fall faster than others believed. i think that's going to keep happening. i expectd of next year the unemployment rate will be up 4%. is of the things i highlight the consensus forecast of a stabilization in the unemployment rate here even as growth keeps rolling around, that is never happened before. point72. maki with us, economic indicators got to you by commonwealth financial network. when it's time to change a , call 866-462-3638 or visit commonwealth.com to learn more.

the open-ended decision in california. a federal george awarding players many dollars because their images were used by the schools to make money. there is this movement toward my -- what might be a pay for play model. he backs the question, what happens if we get there? you look at all the schools that have big athletic programs there are a number of private schools, stanford, wake, where they are not making a huge amount of money off their teams. julie: maybe it would be more onerous for them. maybe we should stop paying the .fl players how about you stop paying them if they act like idiots? in which case, none of them would get paid. david: these are controversial's things best controversial things you are saying here.

morning's commentary and i'm focusing on one company. apple. apple had its product announcement yesterday. some new features, the new version of the iphone six which is going to be the six s. the new ipad pro, etc.. shares fell by about 2%. our peter dean iteris said on the day of announcement on average we have seen an increase in 2/10 of 1% but that is largely because on the first product announcement going all the way back it's all in 8.3% gain. it has only risen two of the past eight announcement days. the day after, it rises on average 7/10 of 1% and it is up six of the past eight times. the spoke in investment is out with a note in advance of the
8:44 am
announcement saying that you tend to see this relatively benign performance on the day itself but that is because apple shares usually rise going into the announcement in the three months leading up. we have not seen that this time with the pullback not only in the market overall but in apple shares themselves. they have fallen from their high back in february by about 15%. going into this, there were lowered expectations. you would think that would make them poised to do better but that is not what we have seen, what we saw happen yesterday or from the premarket. as for some of the reviews from the analyst, they are next. -- mixed. there is not really a lot of commentary and some of these analyst notes about the tv because it was underwhelming. the real question for apple
8:45 am
remains after this announcement, is this new version of the iphone going to be enough to drive the product upgrade? to get you to buy another one? 30%hynes saying less than of customers have upgraded to an iphone six to date. it is their most important product. we will see. will be back with dean maki. ♪
8:48 am
tom: good morning. worldwide on bloomberg television and radio. a rainy day in new york. we should make note of our remembrance tomorrow, september 11, the 14th anniversary -- the .4th year of what we saw we'll have coverage and moments of silence for you on bloomberg radio and television. dow futures, -92. pimm fox and tom keene and with us, dean maki of point72 as we .alk about the american economy
8:49 am
where is the biggest mystery in now?conomy important --an let's stand up and do this. the idea here of y equals c plus i equals g. is it exports and imports? dean: i think that is where the big mystery and problems may be. important -- let's stand up and do this. the idea herethe export picturee uncertain. on the other hand, the u.s. consumption.% consumer spending is doing well, -- tom: i have trouble with the , we are noth was global, we do not export and only 15% now. dean: even less than that at this point. tom: it has got to have an effect. dean: the export weakness is having an effect on manufacturers. the manufacturing sector is having a difficult time right now. one thing i would emphasize is the manufacturing sector is not
8:50 am
the business cycle in the u.s. many people mix those things up and say when i sm -- when i sm manufacturing weakens the u.s. economy is weak. the late 1990's, the u.s. economy was growing strongly even with manufacturing index below 50. that was the kind of situation we're in now where we had weakness in asia budged ranks domestically. .om: this is important you have no idea how cool pimm fox's grandmother was. she had a manufacturing vehicle from kalamazoo, michigan. pimm: actually, it was my mother's. a black checker automobile. tom: that is when we had manufacturing in america. pimm: i want to ask something management.2 asset i'm wondering if you can compare that to your time at barclays. whether you are looking for things are thinking
8:51 am
8:52 am
like claims, i sm's, things that you know are measuring something well. tom: we are thrilled you are with us on bloomberg television and radio. bloomberg surveillance on television and radio rock you by invesco. invesco believes it is time to say goodbye to traditional 6040 stock bond application -- allocation 60/40 stock bond allocation. what invesco and anyone else has to worry about is a new terminal rate. weigh in on the new new, lower interest rates and lower nominal gdp. do you buy the idea that will be a dampened american spirit? dean: i think that potential growth in the u.s. is lower than it has been in the past because of demographics, the population getting older, labor supply growing less. it is also because of productivity growth being slower. it does make sense that the
8:53 am
terminal rate is going to be lower than in the past. i think that argument gets exaggerated. some are talking about a 2% terminal rate. my view is it is more in the 3.5% -- tom: that is a big deal. nicely above people who have thought about a dampened spirit. that is a much more optimistic pace. spirits or no dampened spirit, let's say dean maki wins the lottery, what you do with new money? if someone gives dean maki $1 million, what do you do with it? dean: especially in this kind of environment, i think you want a balanced portfolio. no reason to take big bets with a large block of money like that. pimm: would you buy stocks, bonds? dean: bonds, stocks, foreign and domestic. pimm: slicing and dicing does
8:54 am
not seem to matter if you're talking about major diversification. dean: if you have the time to devote to it, you can make tactical calls but i would only recommend that to people that actually have the time to be focused on this full-time. tom: you came out of the stanford combine where there has been a lot of thought about how the american economy folds into regulation. how do you respond to conservatives who in economics say regulation is getting in the way of our gdp growth? do you buy that angle? that the pendulum does swing back-and-forth on regulation. for example, in the financial markets there was not enough regulation of certain types of securities. before the last financial crisis. it may be swinging a bit too far
8:55 am
the other way were a lot of business that would be profitable and sustainable in the long term may not be getting done. i think this is inevitable that things swing too far one way or another overtime. tom: dean maki, thank you so much. foring with portfolios point72. i'm putting out a chart of brazilian riel. a weaker brazilian riel. trying to get strength. this is 3.90. that is a huge deal to the foreign exchange desk. you think about alan ruskin at deutsche bank on the way to an ever weaker reality -- ever weaker riel. this is going to be down throughout all of the commodity currencies today. pimm: it is latin america's largest economy.
8:56 am
it's going to have an effect. raising theafter -- credit rating to investment grade. seven years later, you just need the bible, seven years later they have lowered it to junk status. zealands idea of new dollar. new zealand links slow down for whatever the reason. thought --ays everyone looks at dairy prices. the answer is -- the fact is mark carney with his headlines today on inflation and the struggle to find, you wonder where we are going to be september 17. pimm: wasn't there a report today that the australian economy did better on unemployment?
8:57 am
tom: you see that, the australian dollar stronger were so many months -- so many the loony, 13273, maybe not as weak as some of the others. resilient riel -- brazilian riel, the major story today. 20.res up to -90. the 10 year yield is coming in 2.20%. the 30 year bond was handed down 2.97. gold really came down yesterday. down 10 .085..40 120 .79.
