in the meantime, we get back to our top story. .imm: thursday scarlet scarlet: thursday will be the day everyone is waiting for. finalwe are entering the hours of discussion and wall street cannot seem to get on the same page when it comes to federal reserve interest rate increases. eric nielsen is a chief economist and says skipping september will raise the risk of more turmoil. merrill lynch's david wu disagrees. >> i think the international evidence are sort of overtaking the u.s. fundamentals here, especially with what is happening in china. if they were to hike in september, i think it will be a mistake. scarlet: what do our resident economist say? here with us is mike mckee and chief economist carl cricket on riccadonna. is the fed moving because it is afraid of making a mistake or
11:05 am
getting ahead of itself? side itu can pick what could be on because it is such a close call. carl: i'm going with the fed holds actually. we have seen over the past five years several central banks raising rates and then having to backtrack. this is a very dangerous policy mistake and there is limited ammunition to reverse course if the fed needs to. they do not want to go down the route of additional quantitative easing. the fed is want to air on the side of caution and hold off to see what extent of negative feedback into the economy from recent developments in fact are. as of late, it looks a little bit troubling. we had a big pullback in consumer sentiment last friday. in today's new york empire survey is a bit of a sentiment gauge as well. much weaker than expected. pimm: what about the retail sales report? stillthat is a
11:06 am
reported most of the retail sales figures have mentality this is a rare occasion where the empire survey counts for a lot more than retail sales results. scarlet: mike? fed'si will say that the mandate is that the u.s. economy seems to be in very good shape. the labor market looks good according to the august payrolls report. not, itit is stale or is suggesting that consumers are still spending money. the fed is looking at the u.s. economy and unemployment coming down and say the danger is out there down the road that we could see inflation as they are not deciding based on what is happening right now. they are deciding on the forecast for what happens a year from now. as for what is going on around the world, you look at what stanley fischer has said. clarity and all you will get is confusion of a different sort in the next month. if you think you have a reasonably good picture of what is going to happen for the economy going forward, you go ahead and go and maybe eliminate
11:07 am
some of the market volatility in the process. carl: janet yellen looks of factory sector. if we look at growth this year, it is 1/10 of one percent. the factory sector is taking it on the chen from the strong dollar. janet yellen does not want to exacerbate that section and that impact. and that impact. a lot of analysts mistakenly say that the strong dollar on the impact the export sector. it certainly impacts the export sector, but it also is unleashing a flood of cheap imports to the domestic economy, which is why you see three activity lessening. if you look at job creation in the six-month moving average, it has been slowing down. the economy is good. i agree with mike. but it does not justify a move yet. scarlet: economist on average do not expect we will hit a recession until 2018, so the prognosis is fairly good. is waiting to long good than? stanley fischer looks at
11:08 am
what we see in the inflation figures now and says you drop up a big fall in oil prices and you're going to start see slack taken up and inflation pressure start to rise. we saw a little bit of weight gain in the last employment report. it is not there yet, but their models suggest it is going to be and they going to make the decision based on what their models and their forecast is. carl: if you look at the fed's preferred core inflation gauge, we are backsliding. we are back to march levels. we have not seen the whites of the eyes of inflation yet. i do not know if it is too late or an argument he made a while back. but it may current environment where we have very low inflation, the risk of a policy estate from the fed and the staff forecast at the last fed meeting indicated as such of the bigger risk is to go to sing. mike: you made the point of going up and having to go back down again. at jackson them said
11:09 am
hole that that is not a problem for them. they are happy to go backwards if they need to. scarlet: let us touch on the dollar because you brought that up being an issue for the manufacturing sector. there is a weay that the fed looks of the dollar than trade looks at the dollar. mike: it has been coming down and it would suggest it is not a problem. the fed is looking at the top line there and it is continuing to strengthen the trade weighted dollar. that is, as carl says, a weight on the u.s. economy. the question is an fed officials are asking this question of themselves -- how long does that continue? how much strength have we got in the dollar and how much more will be get? is it already priced in will it continue to go higher? historically when the fed raises rates for the first time, the dollar starts to weaken. carl: the dollar is driven by differentials. if they stumble into a series of
11:10 am
rate hikes, they will make the dollar even stronger. the broad weighted index on the screen is at a 10 year high. pushing it up further would have disastrous consequences for the mac and economy. scarlet: no one is thinking about that anytime soon. carl: but what is the point of raising rates if you're facing all this uncertainty, we manufacturing data, potential pullback in business and consumer sentiment? pimm: maybe we see get carl to tell us how he really feels next time. [laughter] mike: as you can see, it is a close call. scarlet: thank you so much, michael mckee and carl ricca donna. pimm: join us for live coverage on the federal reserve's rate decision at 2:00 p.m. eastern. this is followed by janet yellen's news conference that begins at half past at 2:30 p.m. eastern. scarlet: michael will be there at that news conference. pimm: we have much more coming up on "bloomberg market day."

11:17 am
grocery business, but it has struggled in times, growing slowly as the rest of their business has struggled. it has given another outlet in a way to connect with consumers who do not want to get off of the couch and have their grocery show up. tacart, it gives them a tremendous advantage. one deliveryuses service, it gives them a great share in that market. amazon's delivery service in seattle has 70% of the market. in new york, it has 70% of that market. first mover advantage seems to be great in that business. for having the standard offering, target is able to get out to those customers that want to be the principal agent for delivering food. scarlet: beyond first mover advantage, what else does amazon or whole foods -- what have they taught us are what have they taught target in terms of the
11:18 am
challenges of delivering fresh food on the same day? cory: there are a couple of interesting things about the orel unlike the amazon model the wet van from days of your. -like.much more uber the delivery people are contractors using their own vehicles and often doing the shopping at the stores themselves. they will pull the items off of the shelf and communicate with if you want the one liter bottle of diet dr. pepper instead of one court, i don't know. the shop will actually bring you up and offer those different kinds of selections. as a contractor not getting health benefits and not paying social security, it is much more voluntary work force that shows up when they want to work and our next or cash. it is very much in the uber mo del. target is a very important model. instacart get a lot out of this.

11:24 am
daniel: right now, it is going for market share and it wants to preempt the entry into the market. : what are the macro events were state policy will tell the oil markets what to do? theel: it is him as reverse. the decline in oil prices are going to have geopolitical consequences. i think it is not inappropriate to point out that many of these petro states, many of the states full to -- bolstered by high oil prices have not been on the international scene. although no one wants to have things rapidly shifts, the decline in the price of oil will ultimately benefit the forces of liberalization, democracy, and popular government. tom: do you agree with that? daniel: i was thinking about how our own economy since 2008 has benefited from the activity in shale oil.
11:25 am
you can see that manufacturing companies are now reporting distress because of these domestic expenditures are not happening. enden: which of the non-oil states has done the best job of adapting to the new price of oil? daniel: i think everyone is in the state and lowering the price level. it looked like mexico was going to do it with the reform of hassector, but it been caught up by the speed of the plastic on. norway well adjusted to its oil, but who are the other countries that have diversified its economy? malaysia was on that list, but it has now got into controversy. pimm: that was daniel juergen speaking earlier today on "bloomberg surveillance." scarlet: this is the intraday chart of crude oil. pretty much near our best levels of the session, up 1.5%, gaining

12:06 pm
joe: i am not going to prognosticate on the fed. i gave that up years ago. it is calling volatility in the market and august was a particularly volatile month. it doesn't have the robustness that most people thought it had. it's probably because so many markets are linked together. when one market seizes, they all seem to catch cold. the equity market did not do a good job. betty: the fed hiking rates? joe: i care what they do. toare trading on behalf of shoot you are making those decisions. i saw a quote today from larry summers. a rate a 20% chance of hike, the fed should act on what the market is predicting. that is backwards to me. i think it should be the other way around and the fed it should

be taking the lead. pimm: give me a description on what's going on with high-frequency trading. joe: it's still going on. nothing is changing since the michael lewis book. there is different types. there is more predatory stuff. the regulators still have not caught up. they still have not figured out. , hee have been some cases was one guy. the problem is in the structure. pimm: tell me the extent to which high-frequency trading affects price discovery in all markets. it's not just the equity market a are involved in. they are big in the treasury market and the use a lot of that for hedging. joe: he was concerned. he did not say high-frequency
12:08 pm
trading, it causes the volatility. is it calling -- causing or reacting? i would argue you are seen movements that are much faster because people are pulling away from. they are not going to get run over. hey just walk away. there is no affirmative obligation like there used to be. i am not advocating the old model. if people move away, it causes vacuums. you get prices like you did on august 24. prices were down 30% to 50%. betty: because the structure is so different now, it is a given that reaction to the fed will be that much more exaggerated. joe: i think it's been that way for years. the only thing new is at the ark
12:09 pm
are amped up and people are nervous about china. we have seen these reactions over the years every time the fed moves. every time and i sm number comes out. you see the liquidity vacuum disappear. that's why you have these rapid news. pimm: we understand that, is it this and unintended consequence? if you get big banks out of trading and providing liquidity on a regular basis because the government says this is too risky and we don't want you doing this with insured deposits so get out of this business, where does the business go? joe: it goes to a provider. there is a void. there is no liquidity. you're right. the big banks are pulling back and avoid was created. people don't need to be there. terryet today is a brian

you saw on august 24. you don't have it now. you have a fragmented book. you have a lack of diversity. you've got a book based on payment for overflow. it's ridiculous. pimm: paying people to trade in your exchange. there are a lot of conflicts that create these problems. that's why you have structural problems and the regulators don't want to address those at the root cause. they will tinker around the edges. they are not getting at the main problem. role-play,l season a they created instant replay. they had issues they needed to address. investigators are confusing -- continuing to let it happen. it's like an armchair are back on television. e:.

pay-tv bundle. my love this new terminology when it comes to the media and cable world. morgan stanley still has a price target higher on disney, 108. it has moved to considerably lower. at a stock am looking at today is fitbit. i remember ever since they filed for an ipo, i was shocked to hear how many fitbit's had been sold. i'm just a shock to see how much more they think this company can do. the stock is up 3.8%. they came out with an upgrade because of what they termed ridiculously fast growth. i pulled up on the bloomberg terminal a look at the fitbit growth quarterly, or sales quarterly. this is 2013. as we get into 2014, big jumps right before the ipo. in the december quarter, it will be a little drop in the third quarter. in december, a huge drop. they are forecasting even

1:06 pm
beige book information that we received, reporting that only six of the districts have moderate growth, that really sends a signal that they are inclined to just wait. when it comes down to it, what matters is the chairs opinion. really in a she is position where she wants to rush into a rate hike. the last time the chair was in the minority was back around 1938. i think there is a good precedent to what janet yellen has been saying. it suggests they are just going to punch this to october. a long look back at the last time we were in that position. so let's game this out a little bit. if the fed decides not to raise rates on thursday, what do you think is going to happen in the markets? brian: i think if the fed decides to not raise rates, we could see basically risk on rally. peoplecommending position portfolios for the head -- the fed toe

take upon his and braced themselves for that october hike. i think we will see yields come back down a little bit. i was really uncomfortable with the drive down and yields ever sense basically august. i'd be much more comfortable with the 10 year treasury was closer to 2.4%. instead of where it is right now. we have retraced some of the movement we've seen since july. position your portfolios to anticipate rates might move back down a smidge, it should be positive for equities. mark: if the fed does pass this week and decide not to raise rates, and they do move in october or later. how will the global markets read that? brian: i think they will read it as a positive thing. the federal reserve recognizes there are risks. it's not saying the u.s. economy is in a bad position. the data we have been getting suggested that the u.s. economy, the domestic side is actually
1:08 pm
quite robust. it's doing fairly well. from a risk management perspective it suggests that the fed wants to just wait and buy some time. think back to what happened in 1997. the fed was looking at economic data and said things are looking really good. we don't see any signs of inflation. but maybe it's going to come up eventually. as a result, they raise. by september of 1998, they had to backtrack. i think the international markets look on a very favorably of the fed decided to take a little pause. you can't see this, by one or obvious to look at this chart which looks at the correlation between jobless claims and the s&p. with interesting about this, brian, is that when you see jobless claims in a low, that's when stock markets hit a peak and they start to decline. are at this point now, it's happened already two times before in the last 10 years, we are now at this point where
1:09 pm
jobless rates are a multi-decade lows. it looks like the stock markets are peaking. that's usually the time when the fed does raise interest rates. is it likely to follow that if the fed raises rates, this might be the time that they do, the markets will inevitably fall? brian: i think the markets will eventually fall. it's just from which level? until we get 2200 and 2300 on the s&p 500, i'm not that worried. the relationship between initial jobless claims in the stock market is a rather complicated one. we are at multi-decade lows as far as the level of claims. if you look at it as a percentage of payroll, etc. historic lows. necessarily aot foregone conclusion that the stock market is going to drop. you have received a lot of false positives from following that type of signal. i don't think it's reliable enough to really position a portfolio based on. is looking atd

betty: welcome back to the "bloomberg market day." i am betty liu, here with mark crumpton. a beautiful day, clear skies in san francisco. with target is teaming up instacart to have same day delivery of groceries and household items. boost as's a major they take on amazon's fresh grocery delivery service. joining us is cory johnson. does this make sense? cory: it's interesting for both companies. site, they get access to a delivery network bits in 18 cities across the u.s.. is an important deal in those 18 cities. but target also gets to be part way of delivering services without really putting a lot on the line. instacart spreads
1:17 pm
across the country, they have a bigger geographic footprint. but target partnering with instacart, they don't have to shell out the money to build up their own systems, whether it's the actual team of people to deliver stuff, where the online systems i can be quite costly to develop the seamless system that instacart strives for. mark: amazon is in the crosshairs then. it's interesting for a lot of companies. the big change happen for amazon when they started to pay state and local sales taxes. for a long time they ran their business by concentrating the delivery network in places where they would have to pay sales taxes. thereby lowering the cost of the goods they sold across the country. because technically they weren't being moved from there. when they finally realize they were going to lose that battle in california, they moved a lot closer to urban hubs. as a result, paying sales taxes, but reimagining their business in thinking that delivery could be a core competency of that business. you see startups like instagram
1:18 pm
coming into this area and saying we can also do same-day delivery area and like amazon, they are probably working at least if not right close to breakeven, may be losing money on every order. surely there's a lot for that go. for instacart, gives them not just a grocery business at target, which is huge, 20% of their overall business, but it also gives instacart the potential to sell a lot more than just groceries down the line, which is the ultimate corporate ambition. betty: is anyone making money on this? cory: great question. during the bubble, we had caps , publicly traded goldman sachs, twitter's chief financial officer being the table and bringing investors. safeway bought that for pennies on the dime. right now it might expect that none of these businesses are making money. they are all trying to expand their footprint and make money
1:19 pm
somewhere day. but we've seen a movie before. mark: what about delivery fees? instagram and target, we don't know what their split will be. whether it's $3.99 for each , but for instagram, could be a way for them to add to the customer list, particularly to get a chance with a partner with target. betty: cory johnson, thank you. mark: coming up in the next hour on the "bloomberg market day," a new report finds when it comes to saving for retirement, women are a lot worse off than men. we explain we return. betty: we take a closer look at the slowing economy of china, and how it could be effected if the fed to size -- decides to raise interest rates. ♪

1:24 pm
to the dollar is the average. women make $.78 to the dollar that every man makes in america. but the rub here, mark, i'm sorry to say is that on average, women live longer than men. so this is an even bigger troubling statistic. because not only do they retire with less money, but they are living longer and it doesn't last them as long. we are talking about these figures, the bureau of labor statistics focused on expenditures for people 65 years old and older. so what we have been seeing, because all this talk about entitlement reform, then you have medicare and medicaid, so security and folks on capitol hill not taking action on that. it seems that now it's become incumbent on individuals to watch their own retirement, to watch out for their own portfolio. and it probably sock away as much as they can. at this point, there are no guarantees.
1:25 pm
it will probably be congressional inaction on something. folks are going to have to take matters into their own hands. betty: they are. here's the silver lining. accounts, women are better savers, they like to save money. versus investing, although since they don't invest as much, they lose out on any returns. financialesting how analysts looked at these numbers. they took an average 45-year-old man an average 45-year-old woman and saw how much it would take to retire by the age of 65. they only look to retirement income. if you took into account retirement costs, how much you really cost to retire, men would need to save an additional 270 thousand dollars, women have to save an additional $522,000. that one of the keys is the suggestion that women take the time to focus on your retirement needs early, rather than later.
1:26 pm
because that will eventually pay off on the backend. women need to save more than men, and do it faster. betty: that's a big lesson for me. i don't know about you, but i don't think i will ever be able to retire. mark: i wouldn't want to. it's too much fun. betty: i'm retiring from this hour, right now. mark: nicely done. everyone in the control room is like very nice. betty: that's why they pay me the big bucks. mark: betty liu, the segway queen. coming up in the next hour of the "bloomberg market day," will hungry's move to seal their borders cause a domino effect in europe? the european commissioner for migrants. ♪

joining us on the phone from brussels. let's get more insight on the refugee crisis. earlier today we spoke with former u.s. secretary of homeland security michael chertoff, he said russia's making the situation in syria worse. michael: we see the russians getting more engaged in syria. being helpful partners in resolving the situation there, they are doubling down with troops and air assets. that's going to exacerbate the refugee situation, which puts more stress on europe. it's also going to create more problems in the region itself. i think the storm is gathering force. i am pessimistic. tom: you are an important voice in america for refugees. i believe your mother was a , you know whatts it's like, your family knows what it's like to show up at the border and ask entry into the united states of america.
1:37 pm
or twoly back one generations. would you please explain to americans this morning, if there is a threat to syrian refugees bringing in even a few isis members, is that a legitimate concern for public officials? sure, it's a concern. i do think we have an obligation along with the rest of the world to help genuine refugees, people who are fleeing persecution and violence. and not merely people who are looking for economic opportunity. that we havemean to just open the doors without vetting the people coming in. the reality is we have done a good job now in keeping out operatives from other parts of the world am i want to commit terror act. we ought to find a way to admit more refugees, the president has said. to do so in a way that continues to assure us that we are not admitting dangerous people. chaos, the midst of the
1:38 pm
what is the actual process that builds trust in america for the goodwill of bringing in refugees? michael: you have to start the process as early as possible. that means ideally you would do it in place where you have people in the perimeter of syria who are now waiting for some kind of refuge. it means interviewing them in using whatever databases are available to see if there are connections between people that we are looking at a people who might be dangerous. field the is just the experienced agents have when they talk to somebody about what their true intentions are. it's not a foolproof scheme, but it does mean that you can do some kind of evaluation rather than willy-nilly letting everybody in. let me emphasize that the best way to do this is literally in the region. to set up a process there. what europeans are dealing with now is a disaster in which they are presented with people who are at the tail end of having
1:39 pm
migrated, and there really is no time to that them. that means everybody suffers. trying to who are evaluate who is coming in don't have the adequate opportunity to do so. a have to move the process to much earlier stage in the journey that many of these refugees are taking. >> it reminds me of the marital boatlift here from cuba to the united states, where we ended up with a whole lot of undesirable people in this country because we weren't able to screen them in the beginning. michael: that's partly an analogy. the castro actually deliberately sent people from the jails. >> do not think terrorist organizations are sending people? risk.l: it's certainly a with not hard to conceive that a terrorist group like isis or similar group would see an opportunity in the flow of people to insert some
1:40 pm
operatives. in fact there was a story in the "washington post," today about one of the refugees in europe who was talking about how he likes living under isis in syria. that's a very real risk. it's a small minority to be sure, but we have to pay attention to it. >> the europeans are already there. is it too late now? obviously they can move everything to the middle east again, but with already the people on the continent, is it too late? michael: they are facing a situation where they have literally tens of thousands of not hundreds of thousands of people who have arrived, many of phone don't have a clear destination. you are beginning to see a reimposition of internal border and that's a sign of how fraught situation has become in terms of managing the flow. way late in getting ahead of this problem. it's an issue that should have been dealt with by creating safe havens in syria and iraq, or in

we have been asking our guests if the federal reserve does move on interest rates this week at some still believe, will that have an impact on china? michael: i don't. this is in my phrase, i think we're about to enter the most dovish tightening cycle we've ever seen. mark: why do you say that? theael: people say what is impact the fed is going to have on emerging markets around the world. we have seen in the past is that markets have performed really well during tightening cycles under two caveats. one being there was a selloff before the fed tightening cycle began. they started pricing that in. we had that happen. we have seen a selloff in a lot of emerging markets, a lot of markets in general. secondly, the tightening cycles have occurred under a backdrop of very strong growth. to 2007, global growth averaged about 5%. looking forward, growth is going to average less than that. we have one of the two caveats.
1:47 pm
really what you need to look at is the fed is increasing rates, outlook looks pretty good in the u.s.. global growth doesn't look as good. is going to be a very long slow multiyear process. they don't just want to put a shock in the system. is not going to be 425 basis points in two years. it's going to be 425 basis points over a large number of years. mark: do higher rates automatically feed -- mean falling asset prices? ? fed is increasing rates and they're only going to increase rates of their confident in the economic outlook area it means the u.s. economy is heating up, they expect it will continue heating up in a meeting to eventually slow that rate of growth down a bit. mark: as you know, there's so many americans out of work. is it possible that sometimes we look at these labour statistic numbers and they could be a little misleading? what is the participation rate look like? michael: it is slow. it was going down before the
1:48 pm
crisis occurred. we're talking about rated zero versus rates at .25, it's still extremely accommodative. it's not until you get close to 4% where rates become really restrictive. and really start slowing down growth. mark: we have been talking to people leading up to this week's meeting. if the fed decides not to move on rates, what signal does that send to global markets? michael: they are indicating they are not going to rush into things. intends on increasing rates i think before the end of this year. i think they're going to take a assess thelook, situation. they saw the consumer confidence number wasn't quite what they wanted to be. some of the other indicators were soft. there's no cost for them waiting another couple months or another month and seeing what happens. it sends a signal they are being cautious, not that they are capitulating. mark: michael mcdonough, thank you so much. in the u.s., stocks are close to their recession highs.
