tv The Pulse Bloomberg October 2, 2015 4:00am-6:01am EDT
4:00 am
4:01 am
a warm welcome to "the pulse," live from london. jobs day. i manus cranny. it is jobs day in the usa. ambassadors will be trying to see if there is any evidence that the world's largest economy is ready for higher rates in 2015. economists have been surveyed here in bloomberg. 200-1000 jobs as the number, the consensus for the month of september. we will get those numbers at 1:30 london time, how they behave in and about this crucial set of data. mark, we started the fourth quarter with a little bit of a boost. mark: we did, and european stocks are rising. but this time 24 hours ago they were also rising. 200,000 expecting jobs for september, boosted mainly by private employment. we had 173,000 in august,
4:02 am
slightly before this year's monthly average. that is a slow down from last average, which was the best since 1999. --ething worth noting payroll readings have been revised by the labor department in 12 of the last 14 years. economists may, dismiss a lower than projected number, particularly if the august figure is revised. this is the monthly change going back to 2009. where you see is an increase or decrease. let's move it onto the jobless rate, because it will probably hold at 5.1%, the lowest reading since april, 2008. don't forget, 4.9% is the level
4:03 am
the fed considers consistent with maximum employment. the third thing we need to keep an eye on is average hourly earnings year on year. will there be signs of a much-anticipated pickup in worker pay? average hourly earnings has been 2% since the expansion began in june, 2009. in september we have these your of the year earlier, when wages didn't budge much between august and september. expect a gain of 2.4% year on year, the most since 2009. fare?ill markets that is what is important. the msci is down, stock 600 down, commodities down, the place to put your money is treasuries and european bonds. will today's jobs report make things any clearer?
4:04 am
manus: perfectly put. for all of our viewers, bonds are the only asset class that have delivered a positive return in 2015. if you go to hike rates, does that even the stand? mark, well done. to the societye general ceo. the thinks that the u.s. will raise rates this year, take a listen. personally, i am not that a great fan of commodity policy of the last too long stop i think they are useful booster, but in the long-term, they create distortions in asset prices. if they have too much money chasing too many assets. i think the fed will probably raise rates. in we tend to think,
4:05 am
december. the ecb and japanese central bank in our minds might pull through, probably in 2016, which means that money will be available, and will remain positive regarding europe and equity asset classes in 2016. we have a scenario of progressive improvement in the economy, held by the low commodity prices. i think this category of assets might be considered not that expensive in this world of ample liquidity. manus: so you think they will extend qe in 2016? >> they certainly will in september and maybe a little longer. willie u.s. jobs data gives the said fed the momentum for hiking rates? that is the question. what does it mean for the emerging markets? he is at the head of an emerging markets cross assets. welcome to the show.
4:06 am
markets -- just run us through the critical numbers that we all need to be focused on. your world is a punch from every side -- fed hikes, the iif report saying it has internal problems, then china. which punch is the biggest focus in your world? >> this is the way we can put it in context -- this year, bonds in the u.s. have delivered positive returns. yields have come down. emerging markets have suffered despite that, so clearly there are problems, very unlike 2013. 2014, it sold off because the euro-dollar when significantly lower. this year, china is -- manus: so we are narrowing the funnel down. bhanu: the fed will be important
4:07 am
-- i'm not saying they aren't. hikeidea that the fed will and assets will be released with the site, thank god, now we can rally -- i think it will be a small, tactical rally, but make no mistake, if the fed rate is ,oing up, if the cost goes up that does make the material. em is not suffering because of risk. are coming down and risks are rising. i think they have moved it to a different phase -- we are just worried about em growth. we are now moving to a phase where emerging-market balance sheets, stock variables, have began to get interested. that is why the holy grail of em, debt trade, is likely to get impacted. as it happens, able have an impact on equity, because the cost of equity goes up.
4:08 am
manus: we caught up less than a month ago, and you said to me, i don't believe that emerging markets' positioning is as aggressive or as negative as the media reports. has anything changed? we are seeing a point for the seeing the-- we are first outflows in almost 27 years. that is what we are on target for. as the positioning changed? bhanu: modestly. the bulk of the positioning bears repeating. it is in debt. this moves in a much more clunky fashion. we are beginning to see the first signs of cracks, but the pressure comes when you go to the market and refinance yourself as a bank and the market doesn't give you the money. that is when you go to defaults, and then you call money out.
4:09 am
-- thee are we going to bulk of the money was raised in 2010-2012. the pressure comes around 2016, 2017. that is the time when we can see some serious outflows, which is not to say it is all fun and games between now and then, that i would not be surprised if the nature of volatility in em is a step function. then all of a sudden, stuff begins to -- manus: that worries me even more. i take what you have just said -- default rates probably won't spike onto the back end of next year, refinancing gets more expensive, so this is a walk in the park at the moment. $540 billion out of developing markets, and $548 billion out of emerging markets. story.re legs on that
4:10 am
bhanu: your member what happened with moms earlier. it moved 7280 basis points. -- 70 280 basis points. it can certainly happen to emerging markets and it hasn't yet though we have seen early signs. last week, local swaps moved up and down with her the same day. we are beginning to see signs of that but it could become more widespread. issues are much poorer than people believe. manus: what are you telling people to do now, with that fairly negative scenario painted in terms of 2016? what is your top advice? bhanu: first of all, we should all expects lower total returns across the asset spectrum. within assets, hard currency debt remains relatively competitive, but that will get
4:11 am
compromised and we will see 1% return. equities continue to underperform. but the weakest link is the fx. i think that will overshoot. but policymakers are quite happy with currency depreciating. currencies are not as potent as they used to be. i think they will- -- manus: what are you in the pot for? bhanu: 5% unemployment rate. manus: whoa,. thank you very much. let's get you up to speed with some of the other major headlines on "the pulse." nine people are reported killed in a mass shooting at a community college in oregon. police say the gunman is dead but haven't clarified whether he was shot by armed officers were killed himself. president obama offered his condolences and lamented the
4:12 am
country's inability to stop repeated mass shootings. >> somehow, this has become routine. routine, myg is response here at this podium is a routine. the conversation and the numbmath, we have become to this. we have talked about this after columbine, after blacksburg, after tucson, after new town, after aurora, after charleston. it cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun. manus: the leaders of russia, ukraine, germany, france meet in paris later to discuss the situation in ukraine. the meeting was called by president hollande, who last month said that following recent

5:01 am
we are in bloomberg's european headquarters in london. i'm jon ferro with manus cranny. tom keene is in new york. i thought the comments were appropriate about the difference in the number of jobs formed in america and the idea of seeing wage inflation. there is a careful talent about which one is more important. we will talk to alan krueger of princeton university on the american job economy. that throughout the show. investors here will be trying to see if there is evidence that the world's largest economy is ready for higher interest rates. we will get those figures in three hours and 30 minutes. mark: slightly below the average of 212 average, a slowdown from last year's average of 260,000,
5:02 am
the best year since 1990 nine. watch out for two reasons. august in september payroll readings have been revised by the labor department in 12 of the last 14 years. for that reason, economists could reject a lower than projected reasoning, particularly if hiring in august is revised up. a pickup in work and pay. average hourly earnings have been stuck at 2% since the expansion began in june of 2009. in september we had easier comparisons with the earlier year when wages did not move between august and september. expected annual figure of 2.4%, the most since august of 2009. jon: there were so much noise the lessahead of federal reserve meeting. i think it is different this time around. mark: the probability of a rate
5:03 am
hike this month is 18%. last month it was 44%. the day before the fed is nothing that did nothing -- did nothing. that was on september 17. this is the country world index over the last month. i circled september 17, when the fed did nothing. global stocks have dropped by 3.7%. the stoxx 600 in europe is down 3%. emerging markets are down 3%. .he dollar is up 1.6% the place to be invested is government bonds in the eurozone and the united states. jon: it is interesting how the investors knew what was happening with the market and what the federal reserve should or should not do. early on manus cranny spoke to -- who thinks the federal
5:04 am
reserve hike will come this year. ofi am not a great fan economic policies that last too long. i think they are useful booster, but in the long run they create distortions in prices. chasing too much money too less assets. i think the fed in our view will raise rates. we tend to think so, in december. the ecb and japanese central bank may pull through a policy money would be available. i remain positive regarding europe and equity asset class in 2016. we have a scenario of progress in the eurozone. the commodity price is not that bad. i think it is a category of assets that might be considered
5:05 am
not that expensive in this world of ample liquidity. manus: you think they will extend in 2016? mr. oudea: in december or maybe a little longer. jon: manus cranny joins us now. keene is standing by in boston. manus cranny, you get a sense with that interview that he does not just think they will be hiking this year, the message is to just get on with it. for highers let's go rates. i think what is interesting is the whole conversation expanded from more ecb qb, more from the bank of japan, get on with hiking in the united states. we are not in a systemic moment in terms of what happened with glencore. they more or less intimated was more or less stand firm with your strategy. you cannot get blown off course
5:06 am
in these moments of market madness. payrollnging the numbers front and center in the conversation. yet i view the payroll numbers as a stress test of september's stress environment? can they withstand that? if so, the green light for the fed? >> if you look at the u.s. economy in terms of the data, earnings, and everything else, we are near to where the rates should be raised. the only thing that is holding that the rest of the world is not prepared for the interest rate rises, especially the emerging economy. in china the news continues to be negative, rather than stabilizing. that means that the shock of the dollar rate going up -- the dollar will continue to strengthen, increase in the
5:07 am
agony for the commodity cycle. will continue to hold the fed back for now. we should be prepared to see a rate of rise by the end of the year because the numbers the fed is monitoring, the employment rate at 5.1%, is not far from the long-term 4.9%. that is an indicator they need to at least start the normalization process sooner rather than later. when you look at investment, it is october 2 as we go into the jobs report. have you frozen your investments for the year? year end -- is your 12/31 year-and investment this morning? mr. shah: adding risk, holding back -- we will hold back a
5:08 am
little right now. the level of uncertainty is not only from the rate cycle in the u.s., that the data from the rest of the world indicates the you increasing right now read if you look at the data that came out on inflation in europe it has gone negative. the growth rate out of japan is 0% and going below for the shorter-term. that means there needs to be action from the bank of japan and ecb, which is more on the accommodative side. that is while you begin the tightening on the u.s. side. this, we should expect the volatility in the financial markets to remain at heightened levels. we are talking about moves in whatow 200 points beyond is normal, compared to 2-years of 100 points. a higher volatility, and i cannot say how that will abate
5:09 am
by the end of the year. when the u.s. rate rises, we can see the market can get more visibility going forward. it would have some stability for the rate cycle. manus cranny, i was going to say that my basic experience is when you have that much volatility, the better as you will lose money rather than make money. you get really defensive. manus: i think johnny showed a fantastic chart this morning showing the classes of 2015. you have lost money everywhere. in emerging markets you have taken it even more. -- upke money up until until today, and tell us what you think, the bond market. there is the irony. the one market you would've thought -- you lose money. nevermind the communication

are you concerned from european banking respect to that the commodity route may begin to impact the banks in europe in 2016? so. don't think as bankers we have to see 10 years ahead. we have to build businesses to add added value. the energy sector and the commodity sector, it is important, and we remain an important sector. to haveit is important an expertise in the sector, and the right financing. major recipe for success going forward, in this volatile world where at the end of the day crisis can happen -- britain -- who would have predicted this ? you need to have a balanced

absorb this. it would be painful for some tanks, but i do not know that this cascades. tom: when i look at glencore and disclosure, you know it is ugly. what a look at the chart and the balance sheet, i wonder where the mystery is. thee know what is on balance sheet of glencore? is there clarity there, or is there mysteries? is there shadow banking issues they are like lehman? i think they have done a lot of work into days. the shares bounced back because they communicated with bankers and the wider market saying there is no history. there is a lot of liquidity. some of the balance sheets needs explaining because of commodities like copper and gold. i think they have done a good job of communicating. there is no hidden nasties inside. jon: what we need to do is bring
5:24 am
up a chart of copper. if you bring up a chart of glencore stock, they are the same. if i want to know where glencore goes, i just need to know where copper goes. essentially, yes. it is largely a commodity hasing house, but it interests in mining, including copper. really is the bigger minor companies have a very low unit margin and are continuing to increase access for. -- increased excess production. price is going down, meaning business volumes are going down. likeash that people glencore can generate goes down. the issue is that you are very highly indebted. that means if the cash flows are under attack, it is a matter of
5:25 am
time before the downgrade cycle is seen. i think one of the great misconceptions here is the hp at 40% is working margins, where glencore is working at five cents on the dollar. are there other glencores out there that we need to learn about? i think the real lesson is that this company has always pitched something unique. miner and the traitor. the miner has provided commodities like coal and copper. in a bear market you might be the best trader in the world, but trading and a bear market is difficult for anyone. bhp.tom keene brings up they are behaving like opec.
