8:02 am
a way not to shut down the government in two weeks. last shutdown hit the economy hard. china, more weak economic data. credit is growing there. tom sees may be tiny green shoot out there? tom: yes. a little bit of a green shoot. what an ugly win for the denver broncos. >> that was terrible. we enjoyed the mets, and still managed to pull things out. wonderful worda for our sponsors and then i will pull up a chart. "bloomberg surveillance" is brought to you by our resident tax advisory. your business needs. for out and sign up insights.
8:03 am
over here and i want to look at the support on the chinese index. this is an important chart. you mention this earlier. this breakdown of key support of chinese index. let me put that out as we do on the terminal right now. of expectback story the unexpected, whether it is international relations or markets. >> given the way china is, it will probably be october 17 before we have any idea about what is going on in china. that is their next gdp report. bring in our guest. we can act confused but he cannot. there is so much to think about if you are the fed open market committee but even more on wall street investment committee.
8:04 am
mike, i am thinking from thursday afternoon, it is all about strategy. for the next four days for you, it is all about. got to just survive until 2:00 in the afternoon. >> sure. these are range bound. a bear and get a bear and get across and they bowl and get a crush. if you look at some of the moves, they seem to happen with a -- with little rhyme or reason. the market pivots around. technicals are very much in play. tom: i think it is important to look of a terminal. the dow here to date, -8%. the s&p 500, -8%. did you know the nasdaq composite is actually green on the screen your today? i never would have guessed that. 12 months trailing.
8:05 am
the world is coming to an end 3.3%. it is terrible. we are not even close to a correction. >> that is part of the issue with the fed. should they be reacting to help you? >> the fed, as we all know, has pretty aggressive policies over the last several years. one of the things that has been a clear beneficiary, equities. the fed is not supposed to care so much about equities but of course they will take whatever works. it would be easy to dismiss that they will not care about equities but ultimately come i think they really do. one of the questions going into this week and a possible hike here is how much will they look into the rearview mirror and see the vix and global equities selloff in a strong way and how
8:06 am
much they actually care about it. the key question in my ?ind is, have they fallen because everyone is starting to discount a real slow down or recession ahead. or is it because everyone is starting to discount the fact that money was not -- will not be as cheap. how much of this is real? >> i think it is more former than the latter. gross shares are deflating. .ust like last fall the convergence of that with a , you know, it is adding factors up to help get a risk off. but i definitely think it is more the fact that central-bank policy here and abroad can be aggressive and consistently so.
8:07 am
whether the global growth picture will fall in spite of those policy responses is a huge question haunting risk assets. what did we do before we had the vix? did we measure volatility and related to our central-bank 10 years ago? >> the vix started around 1990. caredow, how much the fed about realized volatility in the the 1970 passes and 1980's, i am not sure how much they did. yellen has the vix index on one screen and the move which measures volatility on another screen. tom: really, you think janet yellen -- can i do a shameless plug? vix index?
8:08 am
would you agree with that? she probably does. i will send it out on the radio plus at. it is basically the vix for bonds. tom: what does this mean for the market? just stand aside or use it as opportunity for capital? i do not think the world is coming to an end and i do not take we necessarily need an amazing amount of fantastic economic angst to happen to keep equity prices in this environment, even against a rate hike. i think the case is on that you have central banks around the world and to a certain degree, fiscal policy makers the extraordinarily preemptive on making sure we do not get into a
8:09 am
deflationary spiral. tom: and the fed can push against that? >> exactly. that is where the rubber will meet the road. one thing i have been arguing is the qe coming out of japan and europe right now, it is a lot bigger than what qe3 was at its peak. that is on. for all of the world passes problems, that helps suppress our treasury yields. if you look at where the two-year and the 10 year have months, the last few volatility and equity markets have been really boring. you have to distinguish because fx is really where, as the prior guest was suggesting, it is really where a lot of diversions and central-bank policy and economic conditions are express these days. tom: do you express a stronger
8:10 am
dollar? do you think there will be a stronger dollar because there are weaker currencies? there has been paired in my mind, when you think about, are we going to get to one to one with the euro, i would probably say no. all theire fed, for lack of direct discussion on the dollar. we welcome all of you on bloomberg television and bloomberg radio worldwide. days weexciting set of have got for you this week. we will have special fed coverage. that thursday. michael mckee, are you going to be in washington? michael: on thursday, yes. ♪

8:13 am
largest consumer of copper. copperhead finish higher in four straight sessions. copper's nexts move, the chief market strategist joins us from the cme. there has been some recovery over the course of september in copper. what happened to make it fall off this morning? >> you make a great point when you talk about chinese data affecting copper. that has been the story not only since the devaluation but also since mid-2014 when you saw some out of large chinese solar giant hitting copper at 7.5% at that point. the largest purchaser of copper is china. if the weakness comes in any a veryhan 7%, there is high correlation to copper prices and what china's gdp looks like.
8:14 am
to talk to you about the supply. we have reports coming out that tighter supply has actually been happening. supply in chinese warehouse is not monitored by exchanges dropped. looking ahead, how do you think this will prop up rises of copper? it will do that much. what you could see in a weird yout of fundamentals, if hear people talk about the fed's relationship to copper, there is correlation.rse the room for that tightening could prop copper up. the correlation is not broken down. it is a total global commodities story. the only support that gives to copper is copper is an energy

8:19 am
joining us live in the studio for today's call, here is bill maloney. good morning. markets reversed to the early gains. now trading lower by .9%. dow futures now negative. crude futures little changed. on the u.s. economic front, no major reports schedules. holdings $6.5 billion include me debt.luding shares are down as much as 46% premarket. she goes in talks with pe firms. a key upgrades and downgrades this morning. barclays, alexi on. cut equal weight.

8:21 am
goalie for the new york rangers to futures are mixed here. valley nonvolatile this morning. michael with us. we continue our discussion. how should our listeners use the vix? asymmetric and only when there is a lot of fear out there is it valued. transfer the way your family or your friends in your neighborhood should use this? >> it is a little more nuanced. what i like to look at is when , how thingsurbulent have turned. what often happens when you get a big volatility spike, the vix curve is normally upwardly slow. in other words, the futures are higher than the spot market.
8:22 am
that is often a good signal for a market bottom. what has been interesting since we started the volatility, the vix curve did get inverted but the vix futures really stayed elevated and still really are. a rot -- a lot of times even on upmarket days, the vix futures were continuing to climb higher. it is very different than what we had last october, where the vix converted an eight or nine days later, went back to its normal self. time, it is a very different condition. enjoyed losing money betting on a fed meeting. everyone seems to enjoy that moment. want to be anot las vegas bookie on this one. tom: the only way to learn this is to enjoy losing. >> could you imagine how that
8:23 am
would move? you'reke the nfl when watching the broncos this week. all the advertisements for the fantasy leagues. >> a smart note from bloomberg intelligence here, you asked the question of what you can do without the vix. he says you can realize volatility. they track almost exactly. michael, once the fed does or does not do whatever it is going to do, you have to start worrying about things like earnings. uprd quarter is coming pretty soon, earnings. they are not supposed to be very good. then you look at projections for the first quarter. fourth quarter, they start to really improve. if the fed is discounting 12 months ahead because they are trying to forecast when monetary policy will hit, what is american business telling them? >> on the economic front, i
8:24 am
think what is happening this year domestically is we're seeing a little did of a replay last year. in gdp.le q1 you saw that in earnings. the q2 print that got revise two came ino, what really pretty strong, i think things will be on track. if you look at the overall complexion of economic statistics domestically, it has been pretty good. if that continues and we can pull off a decent gdp through the end of the year, my guess is the earnings growth will track that. we will be able to basically beat analyst expectations. in other words, we will get to 119 on the s&p 500 for the year on earnings. that basically means 5% year on year earnings growth. over the last three or four years in theory should be enough to keep the markets upward trajectory. tom: we will run out of time.

8:31 am
policy response seems to be diminishing. tom: the meetings in peru, we need to define what a recession is third it is not negative gdp. it.eed to really explain classes it is basically 3.5% gdp worldwide, which is considered a global recession. rate, thatt implications for the rest of the world. tom: that brings on an effect here. we say good morning to all of you. so beneficial about the fed. what i would do. try to get smarter and of course, stunning news out of britain and what we see out of australia. what did you work on this in terms of this crazy american economy? >> i tried to gain some perspective on what is the shape of the american cycle this
8:32 am
decade. we are in the sweet spot. we have low rates, consumer risk appetites are finally starting to turn around a little bit. when you try to get perspective and look at it over the course of the entire decade and beyond, you see we have a struggling labor force, a horrible demographic and we cannot get an immigration policy done here. structural unemployment, and other things. this there is a track on spirit we have the worst recovery since the 1950's in consumer spending and residential construction and business spending on equipment, on exports, government spending. across the board. tom: steve roach has spoken about this. with the consumer, is the theory of a dampened american spirit --t you have,
8:33 am
>> i am a happy guy. tom: i know that. the idea of a new america, has -- is any event shared with the federal reserve? >> the fed has been really slow to pick up on longer-term macro themes. on, structure their guns look, if we do not have an inflation we want to see, we are not moving or they may not have anticipated the movements of the economy but at the end, they were focus on inflation. things.pick i think the thing is, we have market-based measures of inflation. that inflation headline is 0% and core is 1%. significantly below the fed target. here we go. you read the story that rich miller wrote today about what
8:34 am
stanley fischer said a couple of years ago as the head of the bank of israel. he reiterated in jackson hole. what inflation is today does not matter. a year from now matters. when you look at the last 12 months, you have oil prices falling. that is going to drop out. >> we have also had steady service sector. even if you had a normalization and even if it is flattened out and the effects watch out, we have basically very flat under cpi measure and other measures, a very contained inflation. >> laser forecast 12 years from now? >> looking past that, in america, the largest fraction of people working are 850 and older. savers, not spenders. they are saving for retirement. up that.not ramping they are deleveraging. you have an economy growing kind
8:35 am
of what it is doing. this year, i think we come close to 2.5. next year, i think we and up around 2.5, maybe a touch better. you end up in that kind of the world. how much inflation do you get in a world like that? >> give me your numbers. what is potential growth? force, thethe labor working age population is only -- only growing 60 basis points. my view, when you get six years away from now, it will be flat to slightly negative. my view on potential is 1.5 on potential. of arguingosition the fed's point of view. low of potential growth, it does not take as much to get inflation. 12 months from now, what is your inflation number #-- number?
8:36 am
>> they take little day trips and they go to restaurants. >> give me a number on inflation. >> we have surplus. you get no inflation. tom: very quickly, where is inflation? >> i think it will stay low. before the stuff in china started happening, it is three rate hikes, the first quarter of 2017 before the crazy stuff happened in china. than two.wrist more tom: that is a wild statement. talk about only three what -- three rate hikes way out. >> no economic indicators today. they would be brought to you by commonwealth financial network. when it is time to change the conversation talk about the deal are ready to listen. commonwealth.com. we are going to get retail sales
8:37 am
before the fed meets. that is something to look for tomorrow at 8.30. that will be an important last way to point. tom: you heard john talked about a more subdued number. brendan: we will take a second for a morning must-read. wrotesor from poland today eastern europe is having a crisis of change. society, he writes, has become capable of moral and clinical challenges of the type posed by the influx of refugees today that have yet to come to terms with murderous past. -- remy is here from bloomberg noise -- bloomberg news. i went to high school in germany and every high school student in
8:38 am
germany has to go to a concentration camp site and understand what their own a history involves. the argument is what i found compelling. they're much more prepared to have a conversation about refugees. german an outpouring of support, people donating clothing, food, any and. between that and eastern european companies that have not had to have the conversation, it is stark. we are seeing a divide. it is really with this refugee crisis east and west. remi: the question i have is the murderous past. wee in the united states, as talk about refugees right now, we are allowed to have 1500 and. is maybe 10,000 or so. do we have to have a murderous past? and would like to think not. >> whose responsibility is this?

focus. alibaba went up since september 19, 2014. $16 per share. 35% in its first day of trade enclosed above $93. it changed quite a bit since then. do not look at -- do not look now but shares are poised to open below this morning following in the premarket. the stock could fall another 50% looking atvels area analyst actions right now, we will head over for a round of three stocks. let's take a closer look at alibaba. at least another 50% as volume growth. consumer spending is falling, which is hurting the company. alibaba should be valued closer to ebay. one interesting thing to note, 45 of 52 analysts rate alibaba $98 .20 two cents.

8:50 am
82% of private sector. the wages this year are right now. stanley fischer, this sky was hiking rates at the bank of israel. in the may had to cut rates. the same thing they have to do with sweden. starting to early will be a mistake. another point. tons of mutual respect, but just a couple of things. we have the normal cycle, which means in a business and a recession, you/companies. they get put out of work and any matchup demand and supply. this time around, all this qe helps tons of companies stay in business globally. .ore global supply
8:51 am
tom: john kept going back to help governments are using ofply-side solutions instead command solutions. john: on the one hand, thank goodness. employedmore people than otherwise. we have more supply capacity relative to demand growth. as a result, you have ava nine time for inflation. here is another interesting thing. i went back to it used to be the goldman sachs economist. at bill dudley's remarks, in 2004 before greenspan pulled the trigger, if you read it back then, my core view, he said, is not hiking
8:52 am
until 2005. he comes back and says, i'm telling you i'm going back in june. we are now expected to go in june. he is classically a dovish guy. janet yellen is the same way. before, probably have to cut again. francisco, of the wall street journal, said so what. if we are data dependent and the data go one way, we should do one thing. if they go the other way, we should be prepared to do that. quite side great. in the last series of minutes, they said all but one person said they needed to wait and get more data. in july, they said nearly
8:53 am
everyone said we needed more data. tom: stan fischer, an acclaimed economic. economist, why are we struggling with everyone saying we need a vector, we need a measure here the reality is a good part of the world is saying, are you nuts? say that is all you will do and then wait for the data. adamant that is not the thing to do. >> they want to manage market expectations. they have struggled with the
8:54 am
unemployment rates come down twice as fast. we think we are going down to the next year. handled byhe three the end of 2017, all by all these dynamics, labor force dynamics there it if they will just zone in on that and say, we are behind the curve we should be hiking rates, if you look at the broader economy, i get a kick out of it. to your point, he is saying, close to full employment. it was not for the fact the participant -- or dissipation has fallen, you would not be close. tom: john, thank you so much. john: i cannot understand it. it is a monday morning. this is a big week. if we are getting this excited on a monday morning, and the weather is finally getting useful in new york, and we are getting this pumped up, you know

8:56 am
to the conservative prime minister and says this is an important day in the life of a nation. for us in new york, it may not be a big deal but this is a huge attempt to keep a government in australia this morning. >> the conservatives in australia are concerned at this point that they are not going to win another election because the economy is in bad shape. tom: you have got the announcement. >> we talked on surveillance this morning and he said they need to switch to demand led growth. that is a fiscal solution and not a central bank monetary policy solution. you ever see this headline out of america? culture of leadership will be consultative? i am trying to see that headline coming out.

9:01 am
mike come we have got the end 120 and 24. slightly weaker. the dx why index really does not do it here just a little bit stronger. i would notice after an ugly friday, it is better. dollar is aan stronger aussie dollar. a drop move off of that announcement. a little bit stronger. a shameless transition. we call it a segue in broadcasting. classic maybe because commodity prices might change. i have set up our next guest for you. spoken to uso has very much about the end of commodities, where is the bid in
9:02 am
commodities? let's get the backdrop here i want to mention your work and others in this criminal act of trying to do commodities strategy. everyone has aged a little bit, i think. $10, $15 per barrel. goldman sachs, $39 to 20. great respect, yes, we go down. he says we clear and then come right back where you have taken a more measured look. you have adjusted that in the last few days? >> no. i think we are going to be either the winter season or sometimes we forget that the weather turns cold. tom: it does. >> exactly. also, production is down in the u.s. with take it will be a more balanced market. tom: away from that, it has got

iron or purely see the changes in the australian government. what is the bank of america merrill lynch on those industrial metals that are the back owner of australia passes economy? notn industrial metals do do great. the correction there is only just starting. we have seen some minds being closed down or announcements in closed down. we made the announcement last week. in oil, the response has been much more immediate and the bounce was much smaller to begin with. remember, we think about metal. china consumes half of world's metals. or in china, iron it is two times that of the u.s. the average chinese consumes 1/8 of the oil. 1/5 of the average japanese. it is a much smaller consumption rate.
9:04 am
tom: i didn't know this. malcolm will become the sixth prime minister in eight years. >> five years, i read. a lot of turnover as we try to do with these economic conditions. let's take a step back. what is your view of china passes economy and the demand going forward? >> clearly, the chinese economy is slowing down meaningfully and we have had that for a while. a lot of indicators have been pretty soft. at this point, i think the chinese government will lose some more measures and it will make the economy of fiscal package. i'm not saying things will be great. betting against china for the last 25 years has been necessarily a winning strategy.
9:05 am
>> how important is what francisco saying? is china switching to a more demand led economy, do we need to keep measuring the sector as the number-one thing for them going forward? >> that is a good point. if you are moving toward a service economy, cars on the roads, at the end of the day, we consume a lot of oil here. as to the europeans and the japanese. we still take the view that chinese growth should be averaging six or 7% next year.
9:06 am
things should kind of hold up. citigroup's cases. week, a 50-50last recession. now moving to be a basis point scenario. do you agree we could see three dp?4% global g >> the issue with gdp, nominal firms are growing. averaged 8% growth. in the last four years, we have averaged .8. tom: this is why we love francisco. this is the animal spirits are real gdp plus inflation on top of that and nominal gdp.
9:07 am
the you adjust back to dollar. the key question for you as a commodity guy is, currencies, the nexus of what we should watch for. and what janet yellen has to watch. absolutely. we see yet another fourth wave of deflation. we have massive strength against the yen and then against the euro and then against commodity currencies. tom: what does david study? i know he did not sleep all weekend. you think of david working. does janet yellen on thursday have to filter in a guesstimate of a late 1990's strong dollar? francisco: the employment it is going down. the core of the core inflation is starting to pick up. the're not thinking about
9:08 am
third round of fed and what they do in international markets. it is not really their job either here they have said that. i am not sure the fed will factor in necessarily, that the fed is most likely this week. look, it is very possible they met -- they may have to slow down the rate hikes in the first round. on the flipside, i think the biggest challenge we will face, there may not be any out there. there may not be enough dollars. tom: down we go. we are not there yet, but you have got to wonder.
9:09 am
michael: the economy did well with a stronger dollar in the late 1990's. francisco: i think it is a great point. in thenomy did very well 1990's. the strong dollar obviously at some point my end up destroying some jobs in america. are we at that point? the answer is, probably not. are not in a space where the strength of the dollar will be. tom cole and see a currency were. are we in a commodity work? --= war? i do not think that is necessarily the case. look, thek if you depreciation is helping
9:10 am
suppliers. you might say some commodities are in a commodity work. thermal coal is the best example. australia, and south africa have been rushing to depreciate currencies. what has been the most effective is worldwide on the coal markets . the u.s. coal sector has been priced out. tom: you see that with some bankruptcies as well. kali david wu will join us on the currency markets. it is pretty quiet this morning. yields in, futures up one. quiet future as well. gold, 11.04 grounds. -- per ounce. ♪

9:14 am
something that no prime minister can deal with, which is the slowdown in china? >> that is right. i think if you look across, for example, australia is the most exposed country to china of any developed country. there is a big issue there about all the commodity sports the country sends there. and what it has been trying to do is to stimulate other sectors. the currency has fallen quite a lot. interest rates are at a record low. these things are helping but not enough. we do not have them cooking up any slack in terms of investing in new industries and new service. whoever is in charge has to face up to that challenge and work at how best to deal with it. rendon: tony abbott's approval rating has dropped. to have any idea what a budget would look like?

9:20 am
starts with margins in the mystery of who owns what. do you have confidence right now of who owns all the copper and what the margin exposure is? >> no. it is hard to tell pure the one thing with copper is this is a metal that, it is going to stay week -- weak. declines in production will also ultimately did support price. we do not necessarily track all of that in huge detail. tom: victor, come on over here. >> just getting comfortable. tom: in the copper chart, i will put this out on bloomberg radio plus, it is a real steady move downward. is there a tipping point where this gets ugly?
9:21 am
>> the one thing to remember about copper is even if we have a surplus that last for a year or two, it is not a metal by 2020. it is one of the few metals out there, one of the clear metals out there, where the declines .ill kick in sooner or later slide to they move so quickly and others do not? >> copper is an indicator of the economy. clearly going back to china, the slowing chinese growth, it is probably affecting the price. we may see some indication of copper assets in china as well, which has been a big holder of the metal. it is coming out of china, which, as we said before -- >> i want to get a weather report.
