7:05 am
with theeased earnings state of luxury retail in light of the slowdown in china. those stories and much more coming up on "bloomberg market day." our top story has to be the markets. investors have low expectations for a fed rate increase this week, but rapid shifts in the market may signal they might not know what will happen next. the s&p 500 for the cluster weekly returns alternated between fast gains and just as quick losses. for closer look at what the market is hectic, let's bring in catherine, global market strategist at full tech. she joins us from miami. thank you. catherine: thank you. scarlet: describe it two fed scenarios. what happens if they hold off? two recent the dollar weakens and treasures rally? catherine: i think some of come off the u.s. dollar if they hold on. i know with the increase in the the fed fund forecast, but i do think that you will see
7:06 am
pressure come off, some more percent -- support for emerging markets which has seen quite a hit in recent months. expecting that first high, but i think the company shipped from the chinese government that devaluation will keep the fed on hold. if the fed does hike and it remains a possibility, we think it will be one and done. we think the fed will accompany with language but we think at the end, it will also take pressure off of what has been a very strong full dollar rally. we do not think that is in the benefit of the u.s. economy and the fed does not want to see the consistently depreciating dollar. if the fed hikes tomorrow in the meeting, we think that impact it will signal a very gradual and minimalist tightening process. scarlet: got it. let's get back to the boj that we referenced how they declined to move ahead of the fed.
7:07 am
it sat on its hands. you present the japanese economy will struggle and the boj will be forced to take action before the end of the year? thryn: if they're targeting inflation, they don't have that. we saw inflation come out in zero and the target is obviously 2% and we saw second-quarter economic contraction for private consumption and private thestment both contract second quarter, so i think that the central bank is more likely than not going to ramp up its stimulus. if not in october, then in the coming months. if the trend continues, as we see, japan certainly was to avoid deflation. thelet: they want to do fleet deflation but shinzo abe is now more pressure than ever to come up with a fiscal solution. ryn: the market has been disappointing and they have internalized that disappointment. i think there will be more
7:08 am
stimulus because they have a lot to lose. there is a lot of credibility on the line and i think he will seek additional stimulus from the fiscal side, monetary side to avoid that pernicious cycle of deflation that i think japan potentially is facing once again. scarlet: given where we stand, the yen strengthens as carry trade unwind. i wanted to get to the bloomberg terminal because at home, the big question is whether u.s. stocks are expensive and one measure is they will get pricey thanks to dan credit for sending me the chart. on that prices, or the s&p 500, the multiple is the highest otcom 2000, the d bubble days. kathryn: i think there are more attractive valuations elsewhere. we are bullish that we have seen depreciation. i think the fed will be doveish plotbring down the dot
7:09 am
great, but i think there are other alternatives. we think the quantitative and heating process is not over and we'll get ramped up. we like european equities and they serve violations. if the fed scenario doesn't play out, i think you will see some increase they in emerging markets, which as i mentioned, happened so devastatingly. matter: either way, no what happens, the message from investors seems pretty clear which is brace yourselves for volatility. how did volatility look and feel when you know it is coming? athryn: it is up and down. we have been in a holding pattern expecting the fed hike and anything that happens this week, uncertainty will be reduced and that is what killed the market, so we need certainty out of the u.s. and the fed will bring that this week. you the way, we will have clarity of that direction. i think it is magnitude that matters and not the precise they of the lift off.
7:10 am
also from china, i think you will seek some stimulus come from china and potentially produce that inherent. there the today drivers of intense volatility that we have seen in the markets in recent weeks. scarlet: with ball to it becomes quickwitted the you worried about liquidity in any class? catherine: we have not seen any volumes are equities complaining about this. as was the market in general. i think that you will see increased liquidity as soon as the uncertainties to come down. to seeinitely need greater volumes in the market and i think that is going to come to the floor once was to -- we do haveity more clarity from the federal reserve. scarlet: captain rooney vera, the word is clarity and we are waiting. they come out with their decision on thursday at 2:00 p.m. she is global market strategist. thank you. joining us on thursday for live coverage of that decision, a special report coming out at

7:19 am
rolls-royce and my bikini say they have seen no tapering in 2015. i think of that -- and lamborghini say they have seen no tapering in 2015. if they are feeling healthy about the economy, and auto companies tell us, that could be an indication that billionaires are not as poor as some of the reports we are reading. when we look at those equities and values shaved off the chinese equity, that is not being requested in auto sales. scarlet: we will have to create a special indicator for that. if you take a broader look, yours deals with serious issues, the migrant crisis, right and center. there has been a political tone at the auto show. what are the conversations taking place around that? own, the ceo of daimler, he mentioned that -- let's put this in context -- companies are unveiling fancy concept cars and some bagels are selling for hundreds of thousands of euros and the idea

7:24 am
michael moore has been talking to wall street executives, will we see push back or protest from top executives? michael: i don't think you will. wall street defended themselves in the past against critiques, but it is hard to go against the pope so i think they will take the conciliatory approach, welcome him, i think some of the leaders will try to show him the philanthropy that is done in new york. scarlet: including the $175 million restoration of patrick -- st. patrick's cathedral. michael: the pope will be leading prayers there, so that will certainly be an item on their list to point out. i think they are hoping for probably a more neutral tone for the pope. i don't think he will come out praising wall street but perhaps a more neutral tone will be a win. scarlet: maybe he will dial it down. when has pope francis said capitalism on wall street? incometalked about
7:25 am
inequality, but has he attacked the pursuit of profit specifically? michael: he is talked about being over focused on profits, he has talked about reining in the speculative practices, he has not gone to strong at wall street but wall street is tied into the capitalistic system that he has said has brought too much inequality and left too much money to hands of to fear. i think it is tied into a broader thing. scarlet: tied into a broader narrative. when you reached out to some of these wall street executives, who did you talk to? michael: we talked to a number of people. we talked to a well-known figure in new york -- and -- homeet: cofounder of depot. did they say anything about what they hoped they could share with the pope or what they take away from him when he does address

7:34 am
and they spent a good amount of time trying to sell in china. scarlet: laurie locks come away in, is this a problem specific to prada because other companies like gucci, louis vuitton or hermes are doing a little bit better in terms of managing inventory. it is company specific because some of them like gucci have overbooked a network like product did whereas hermes had a slower approach. the pricing of french up before the currency swings let's pretty good. up to two times as much as what you could buy outside of china. there was a time when the chinese could not travel as much. as restrictions have budget, they are traveling in terms, especially given the currency swings. you are seeing big decreases in china and europe purchases by chinese consumers up somewhere around 80%. it is a very dodgy and dynamic
7:35 am
situation and i understand why they thought he wanted to build therefore the long term because they had strong brand equity but it looks like a bit too far. a little bit too much. brian, was it not the case that a lot of these luxury brands were starting to charge higher prices in their home countries across in europe to sell to these chinese consumers and make up for the fact that sales were taking place in europe rather than in china? brian: great points. they have tried to change the pricing dynamic, but we found that prices are relatively small part of a larger pipe. why do chinese consumers travel to europe, japan, north america? they want to guarantee that the product is real. second reason, quality. there was a perception that if they buy in europe, there is higher quality than in china, even if it is the exact same item. also, the experience of travel is becoming more important to the chinese consumer. master, 100 million caps on
