everyone is back from the three-day weekend. volume is still down today. julie: you would think it would come back today, so maybe there is a waiting game for earnings. we are seeing a very tight range for stocks and very little change. i was looking at some of the leading and lagging stocks. 500 in stocks in the s&p terms of percentage gain, you have a pretty diverse group. united health care, google, pfizer. there doesn't seem to be a catalyst for either of these. on the downside, coke is falling, monster beverage. it owns a stake in a company but it's not clear why they are falling. proctor and gamble, the company is having its investor day, warned that it will feel the impact of currencies. nonetheless, not a lot of direction in today's session. scarlet: jpmorgan will be

reporting today. a lot of anticipation ahead of that. what are analysts predicting for the sector overall? julie: analysts are predicting a drop of 7.2%. financial services, 5.4%. diversified financials, it goes to the decline of 6.6%. there is an interesting callout from michael hartnett from bank of america merrill lynch, and it redirects a call from earlier this year. he prefers mainstreet over wall street. look at the regional banks versus the brokers. that is what we have seen happen. the white line is the kbw regional banking index. the traditional brokers. they have fallen more than 8% this year while regional banks have risen more than 5%, although a lot of that game has

happened recently. interesting, going into earnings season, something to keep in mind, as we hear from the regional banks as well as the big, diversified banks. scarlet: thank you. jpmorgan is reporting of or :00 p.m. -- 4:00 p.m. intel will also be reporting after the close. alix:p.m. we want to get a checn the bloomberg first word news. mark crumpton has an update. mark: vladimir putin fires back. haveys some countries oatmeal in their heads when it comes to their military intervention. do notnt putin says they understand russia wants to help the world fight terrorism. a new report says that e-mail server hillary clinton used as secretary of state was vulnerable to hackers. the server used remote access software that allow direct internet connections. such links have prompted

las vegas starting at 5:00 p.m. new york time. that is a look at our first word news. you can always find the latest on bloomberg.com. scarlet: thank you. somehow, i feel of the republican debate will be more entertaining. alix: i would not know. i cut the cord. the one time i am bummed about it. scarlet: investors are looking past week import data in china and shifting their focus on corporate earnings. alix: michael purvis, chief global strategist at weeden is with us. we just heard fortress group is closing its macro fund. michael novogratz will be leaving. what is your take on that? is this indicative of how the macro environment is right now? a lot of macros have had challenging years.

certainly, months and corners. i don't have any comment on that situation. macro is the hardest type of hedge fund investing to do. in certain ways, the most important. .hey underlie everything if you are a long short manager in equities, you have to look at macro all the time. if you are doing macro all the time, it is easy to get it wrong. scarlet: apparently that is happen with this swiss trade or fortress. in any case, when you look at the macro indicators, i know you are focused on emerging market currencies. .ou say that is critical it goes through a couple of filters before he gets there. michael: i look at the vix curve all the time. it had been flat or converted -- basicallysince

august. ix never re-steepend. terminalave that in my . this orange line is where the curve is right now. line was three weeks ago. to your point, that is a deep correction. michael: basically an indication of risking getting on. the question is why it is getting involved in a week payroll report. my view is certainly lower longer interest rates helps the real story here which is the emerging market currencies. if you look at emerging market currencies after that report was issued, most did a real reversal. weakening for several months in a row. julierings to light --

was referencing we are waiting for another footfall. thing that is interesting is divergence of the u.s. economy relative to the rest of the world. from a macro point of view, you cannot let these emerging market currencies fall apart. that's what the market is telling us. if the u.s. continues to do well, that will put upward pressure on the dollar against most currencies, and that will create a higher risk dynamic. that is one of the reasons why we will be choppy or the next couple of months or so. matter how good earnings may or may not come in this season, you need good data from china to get the market back to the point where we can test highs? michael: china is key. along with that, these emerging ,arkets tail risk issues emerging market currencies can stabilize. with decent

earnings data will set the stage for a push to new highs in the s&p and other u.s. equities. alix: does that mean we have seen the pete dollar as well, and what does that do for companies? maybe it is more the race to parity with the euro that was so topical earlier in the year. maybe that is more range bound. maybe it is not that the dollar rally has stopped, but the other currencies can adjust to it. their economic issues are a little easier to manage. they do not have the superstrong dollar on top of them. scarlet: how much attention do you play to the different -- pay to the different beneficial bringing up negative rates? michael: in the u.k., one of the

chief economist in the doe talking about that. and german bunds had a negative yield on it. this will be getting a lot more attention on it here. fact, get to that concept, it raises the question -- if the u.s. and global situation is so bad at the fed into do something drastic, do they go to qe 4 or negative rates? that will be an interesting debate. are even crazy that we talking about that, and 30 seconds before, we are talking about the fed raising rates, a strong dollar, and emerging markets need to find a floor. how do you invest when you have these two polar opposite ideas? nominal right now, the negative rate discussion is an outlier discussion. it is definitely percolating more into the mainstream.

to's hope we do not have really worry about that. it will beto qe4, pretty tough for the fed. they have a strong dislike for the aggressive qe3 we had. and gdp outlook are so poor that they have to do something drastic like negative nominal yields, it will be interesting. you can go through forward ,nflation expectations inflation data, and we are not seeing it come through in a robust way. scarlet: it just shows how little anyone can pull from the data. nobody knows. alix: michael purvis, thank you. coming up, anheuser-busch inbev and sab miller ceiling a $106 billion deal, marking the biggest takeover in u.k. history.

will regulators give the merger a thumbs-up? alix: does more volatility lie ahead in china? scarlet: and five democratic candidates. what happens in biggest probably will not stay in biggest. why tonight's debate could be crucial for the front-runner hillary clinton. ♪

alix: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. is time for our business flash. fortress investment group escape

plan to liquidate the macro business run by michael novogratz. he will retire from the firm by the year and. he helped to build it into a business of more than $8 billion in assets at its peak in 2007. fortress plans to return all capital to investors by the end of 2015. general electric is moving farther away from finance. the company agreed to a deal with wells fargo. the bank is buying the corporate finance unit as well as other assets. -- anmoving back to a emphasis on manufacturing. alix: under armour says pursuing will be another opportunity outside of the athletic performance industry. since 2004.with ua torlet: we want to head over

our markets desk where julie hyman has more on company stories, starting with jetblue. julie: not doing so well after a string of wins. the company came on with its numbers for august and september. preliminary passenger revenue for available feet mile up 1% in august. that was down we present. this morning, j.p. morgan downgraded the stock as a result. alaska air is being downgraded at a record -- evercore. alaska is not 26% this year. jetblue is up by 57% year to date. those losses coming on the back of a pretty good year. also looking at potash and mosaic. fertilizer makers being upgraded on price discipline in the markets. tradingocks have been as if the market is collapsing,

and that is not the case, according to one trader. mosaic is up a little bit better than potash. both have been done more than 30% in the third quarter. finally, let's see how stocks are trading with anheuser-busch inbev, as it gets closer to its acquisition of sab miller. 44 pounds a share. sab miller is higher. one important thing to note, it's trading at a discount to the offer price. translated into dollars, about $67 a share. trading at as discount because it could take a while to get antitrust approval for the deal and because it control such a big part of the beer industry. molson coors getting the biggest lift of the three, because as the newly combined beer joint may be forced to sell off some of its assets, one might be the partnership it has with molson coors. alix: possible consolidation.

thank you so much. if ab inbev and sab miller complete their deal, the new company will sell one out of every three beers worldwide. earn 25imate it could billion dollars in 2016, becoming the world's largest consumer staples company by earnings. scarlet: they would certainly rule the world of beer. ken shea joins us from princeton with more. talk about what kind of control of the market this new colossus would have. going to be a colossus, as you said. scale forthe size and a consumer product this large is almost unprecedented. a $700 billion market. these companies will have a 30% share before divestment. there is not a lot of precedent there. the only thing that you can look at is maybe carbonated beverages. billion, the top

to having a 65% share. beyond that, this is unprecedented territory. how many assets can we expect to be sold, and will the regulatory scrutiny be enough? clearly, regulators in the u.s. and china are already rolling up their sleeves. there could be other areas like latin america. other than that, not a lot of overlap. this deal is about uncharted territory for ab, notably africa. to answer your question, somewhere between $15 billion and $30 billion could be unlocked in divestments. technology and food, the trend has been for active is investors to push for breakups of company. if this new company does not deliver on growth right away, do

we presume activist investors move in and take a at the new giant? ken: that is a possibility but i would not bet on it. only because the company will be heavily own still by the biggest stakeholder, 40% or so, by the biggest investor, altria will have a 10% stake. something to keep an eye on. all across food, beverage, tobacco, activist investors getting involved. i would not expect anything near term here. sab management was against the deal. what happens to them now? ken: given their decentralized management style, ab will be looking to them heavily to look at the markets that they do not know right now. said, they know the company, as a competitor, but in

terms of the region they are not familiar with, they will rely on regional managers, how they are managed. there will be that to keep an eye on, and the response from other beer makers. are they in a scramble to look for potential shooters -- s uiters? ken: i think so. this puts second-tier brewers under the microscope to look at their programs. if you have a competitor on a global scale, compared to this new giant, they will have to look at that, sure. scarlet: thank you so much, ken shea. motto the king's of beer? alix: i don't know, i drink craft beer. new data confirming china's economy continues to lose steam. scarlet: some think commodity prices are to blame.

scarlet: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. the latest trade figures out of china are rekindling fears of a major slowdown. exports falling 4% in september from a year earlier. plungedanwhile, imports more than 20%, as tending that declined to 11 months. these latest numbers are reinforcing views as china loses momentum, demands for other countries goods and services will languish further. look at commodity prices today. zinc,r it is copper or they are all on the decline because of this latest chinese import data. it makes sense when you consider how much chinese demand accounts for global commodities. the amount that it demands of cement, compared to four years

ago, 14 years ago, is massive. everything from cement, cork, coal, aluminum, has seen a big move up. almost triple what it was in lead compared to years ago. alix: many of those are commodities. when you build bridges and roads, that is what you need. tvshave carter use for rather than for a bridge or something. scarlet: that consumer driven economy that china wants to change from its export-driven economy. alix: i want to talk about the exports. this is how much china actually imported when it comes to on rock copper. it is actually pretty high, the highest in 20 months. imports rose 18% year on year, 30% on month.

bear with me while i switch my charts. it is not just copper but also iron ore. that is not used for anything like any capex stuff. you do not do that if your country's economy is falling off a cliff. scarlet: it is the growth rate that has people concerned. the trajectory has not slowed down. alix: michael pointed out we are not seeing the same growth rates as he would have seen, but we are not seeing a collapse. commodity prices are about supply. scarlet: we have much more coming up on the bloomberg market day. hillary clinton getting ready for tonight's debate. ♪

theust saw a chart about volatility. talk about the link between liquidity. we would expect greater volatility, no surprise, in a time of data following monetary policy. the second point worth making is an important one. you referenced liquidity. i was at a conference, the bond dealers association conference, and that was a big highlight. what marker dissidents are seeing is there is plenty -- market participants are seeing is there is plenty to get bonds, but there is little depth. if you have to transact a larger to 25 million, it is hard get those second buyers at the same price. alix: the other part of the story is, is it the high-frequency traders?

we have seen a rise in that when it comes to treasuries. what is that doing to distort the liquidity and also these outside volatility moves? guy: that is a great point as well. not long ago, we talked about high-frequency traders as my only a nationally in the a stock function. they have since gotten involved in bond trading and foreign exchange trading. they create an illusory depth to the market. showbiz whiches are small in size and then evaporate as the market begins to move. it tends to create these rolling on winds and intraday trades. that does contribute to the slings that we see intraday which are having more than they probably should. scarlet: what is the primary driver in fixed income returns and how is that evolved in the past year as volatility has picked up steam? guy: we think of ourselves as more intermediate-term

strategists. we are not looking at the day-to-day so much as the month to month. as we go into the year, the clear bet was essentially on a lower peak fed funds rate. that has been priced in and now what is driving returns is really outside the treasury market, which is to say credit spreads. we have seen high yield an investment grade widen over the last six months. basicyou are seeing distortions in the market and you are seeing markets led by credit spreads. is the treasury market broken? guy: i think with the treasury is measuring is conclusively a fed policy expectation. derivatives some markets have evolved, the connection between treasury markets and derivatives markets, the two have become more closely correlated. it used to be we were looking at more intermediate expectations, but now we only care about how

they affect fed policy over a three-year scarlet: horizon. scarlet: why so much more turbulence when the u.s. is considered a safe haven? we know where the fed is headed next. it is a matter of when. assetne reason is that managers have accumulated large positions, and that makes trading more concentrated. factor another contributing to the extreme moves. alix: it is like a whole different world. billion in the treasury market. guy: $40 trillion in u.s. bonds. lebas, thank you. alix: would you see a movie , and vw emissions scandals
