the federal reserve starts its rate meeting today. along with china's recent market it is led all to an increased global volatility. month and ourlast next guest profited. anthony limbrick says volatility is here to say and the federal reserve will not do anything to calm equities. anthony, thank you for your time today. what you expect from the fed tomorrow? will it do anything at all? is a veryhe fed difficult thing that forecast. and think it's better to look at the market going into the event and i'm a fan that the market has rallied. it's almost been a relief before we had the decision. that's a sign of some potential vulnerability.
10:17 am
i think it's better to focus on the bigger picture which is that we are dealing with a global economy that has a debt problem. one of the reasons why we isieve volatility potentially going to increase quite substantially is essentially the global system has been leveraged up. there has been about $60 trillion of debt since 2007. , roughlyunk of that 32% or 30% has been in china. you create instability. that leveraging up combined with suppression mechanisms come central banks we believe could see a test. we could see some tests of the boundaries of the current control mechanisms that the central banks have in place. matt: are you talking about a selloff in debt? anthony: i think unity
10:18 am
correlation go to one which means all's assets would get hit. the credit spreads wider. i'm not saying that would follow through it all. we are talking about something potentially like a test of the central bank ability to control the system. the test may look quite ugly. we are not predicting that eminently. we are saying there is a vulnerability because of the debt in the system. the pathway to that is still indeterminate. matt: what could the fed do, if anything, to turn this around? deleveraging is not fun for anyone. anthony: the fed should have been something about 35 years ago. they are dealing essentially with fixing current problems in building a problem for the future. we are replacing debt problems with more debt. rates end we see interest
10:19 am
, government rates going very close to zero all around the world because of this attempt to try to keep the debt problem under control. if you think about the interest of a trivial debt, as debt grows the amount of interest in system can pay is reduced. therefore, interest rates must be a lot lower. they will be continued to be tested. move inthat the august markets was essentially telling the federal reserve that it is going to be difficult to raise rates. matt: will we see the opposite effect? mark farber comes on a talks about sort of qe infinity. are going to see at some point another move towards quantitative easing? anthony: we believe so. you need a test for the system to provide impetus for the banks to do that. we would expect that going
10:20 am
forward. at some stage there will be a quite serious test of the fed's resolve. it will be interesting to see if they do hike in what the market is as a result. we would see that -- say that maybe the market can take another hike. but the market is already struggling. matt: are we seeing evidence of the fed's lack of control. cpi dropped 1/10 of 1% and it doesn't look like the fed can achieve anything near a 2% target that it is looking for in inflation. anthony: i completely agree. when you look back to previous tightening runs over the last 30 years you will see the cpi was around 2%-3% for they made a move to a higher rate cycle. we are dealing with inflation around zero roughly. that is an important question that people are not asking the markets of the moments.
10:21 am
we are near the peak of an economic cycle. maybe not right at the peak but near. around zero. what happens when we are in a down cycle? where is inflation at that point? it typically peaks in the top of the cycle. potentially a double-digit deflation. at least single-digit inflation. matt: anthony from 36 south capital advisors. join us tomorrow for a live coverage of the fed decision with a special report set for 2:00 p.m. turn the volume up. janet yellen has a news conference at 2:30 writer on bloomberg television. we will broadcast that live for you. still ahead, retired neurosurgeon ben carson is rising significantly in the polls. what can we expect to hear from the front runners at tonight's

first thought, what we are seeing in the equity markets. a little of a move higher from previously unchanged on the s&p are up dow jones, now we about .200 percent. not this much action in the treasury market. probably what you would expect as the fed begins their meeting. andt of buying going on that is a turnaround from what resolve this morning. the ceo of goldman sachs said he came out and does not think the u.s. economy can withstand higher rates. oldking news in her markets. weekly inventories are out of igo to julie hyman in the newsroom with headlines. julie: a surprising number, drawdown of 2.1 million barrels in crude inventories that ball is on the heels of the american petroleum institute reported similar numbers yesterday, so in line with confirming that. in crudea draw down but also a drawdown in inventory in oklahoma, specifically gasoline inventories
10:31 am
unexpectedly rising by 2.8 million barrels and distal ends up by about three point million -- 3 million barrels. onesesting numbers and that should very be supported to oil prices as we do have these supplies finally coming down a little bit. you can see the change in the inventory week by week. we also have production numbers recently that showed the production that may pull back. i think that shows the most updated pricing here, so we are seeing oil take a little bit of a leg lower and you sometimes do you see counterintuitive moves in the oil market following these numbers, perhaps, the idea that it is in line with yesterday. even though a leg downward, oil is trading higher and oil traders saying this morning that just like other market produce offense, people in the oil market are waiting for the fed as well. importedtory data is but the fed is also quite important. matt: thank you very much.
10:32 am
julie hyman there with the oil news. i want to continue in the united states with stopping exporting oil for the years ago during the energy crisis, but the boom and show production could soon change that. the house is expected to vote on a bill to lift the ban of the week ahead and that could set up a policy front with president obama who is opposed. joining us is mcgonigal, he is of the potomac research group of former chief of staff the department of energy. joe, set this up for me. quite a president be opposed to lifting the ban of exporting oil? shouldn't we be able to sell our goods to whomever we would like? joe: if we could've had some musicaga oh "poker face" coming this this segment, it would be appropriate. i think the president is trying to set the stage for some kind of deal on crude exports.
10:33 am
his official position from the that he waswould be not opposed crude exports like the keystone pipeline which he of course has vetoed and would be killed if it was attached to some kind of registration. instead, if you can get through congress, who would be for it or you would sign it, that i think the view was a couple of months ago and i think their view was probably it could never get through congress. now they are pleased with the prospects of bills being voted on on the house floor at the end of the month and in the center sometime later this fall as well. here?aret is the issue people concerned that exporting our crude but somehow drive up prices for american citizens at the pump because you would have to pay more to import crude from iran and other countries?
10:34 am
joe: really, the rationale against it or moving more cautiously, even among republicans in congress earlier this year, was any kind of potential impacts for gasoline prices. we have had about one dozen independent studies, including one from eia about a week ago, which said there would be little i couldf anything perhaps lower gas prices. we have got gasoline prices heading below two dollars a gallon, so i think concern about gas prices is not really it. in theally changes political customers in washington is that iran deal. months iweeks, or guess conversations will get lifted on iran which means crude oil exports from iran will be allowed to continue and probably will see about 752 million barrels extra in the short-term, then remains in
10:35 am
place. i think that is a politically indefensible position. it is what really moves congress to be more aggressive in pushing it and that iran deal is something that the administration and president is championing, so i think for the same reasons, it is forcing congress to take action. i really do not think the white with a bill,sented would veto it and it is important to recognize that the statement at the white house yesterday was just that we do not support the house legislation, we prefer the commerce department to do it. not a veto threat. i think what they are doing is trying to set up a deal that is floated by harry reeves to sort of trade the crude band for renewable tax credits. matt: let me jump in and ask -- whenever you distort markets like this, it hurts them pricing mechanism, is that happening because of this been? ban?for example , cheaper oil here because our own children users cannot send it anywhere?
