plosser a bit later. will policymakers decide to move or will they stand pat? mckee, go to michael steny by washington with that statement. by in washington with that statement. the zerowe will have interest rates for at least another month and a half. no change in the benchmark rate. this is justified, said officials say, that economic conditions in their view have not changed that much. if anything, conditions have slightly improved. they drop their view from september that recent global financial and economic development may restrain economic growth and put downward pressure on inflation. they say the economy is expanding at a moderate pace, which is the same characterization that they use in september. household spending and business
2:01 pm
spending get an upgrade, increasing at solid rates rather than the moderate increase they had seen before. there is no change in the inflation outlook. inflation continuing to run objective, but again, they say that is because of the declining energy prices and the decline in non-energy imports. the an employment rate held steady. it doesn't -- the unemployment rate held steady. it doesn't like it is a fan that is willing to concede at all. it was a nine-to vote with one dissenter. mark: michael joining us from washington. welcome to those joining us on the radio. fundsbring in oppenheimer senior portfolio manager, ira
2:02 pm
jersey, who is been patiently steny bisons begot this decision. no surprise here, -- who has been standing by since we got this decision. no surprise here, but what can we learn from the language? at where the five-year treasuries are trading and yields are a bit higher right now because the december meeting is going to have to be back on the table. julie hyman mentioned a moment ago that we were not pricing in any rate hikes until march. that will get pulled up a little bit until maybe january at this point. if they hiked in december at this point, would be kind of unprecedented without prepping the market in some way. before we went on air, kathleen and i were talking about that there has to be some fed speak about a december hike. tohleen: the yield is now up
2:03 pm
6.8 and the prices falling. a little bit of an adjustment. we have the benchmark 10 year yields down at 2.09%. for the bond market in particular, which is so interest rate sensitive, what next? haveyou ultimately slightly higher yields in the front end and you continue to do that as we get closer and closer to the hike. it is interesting to know that the two-year and the five-year notes are selling off more than the long run. mark: our colleague michael mckee has a question. michael? michael: let me run up something that i reset about the need to condition the markets. fort yellen has a speech the washington club on december 2 and december 3 she goes before the joint economic committee in congress. there is plenty of opportunity to set the table for the markets. in meeting is not until december 16. if they want to move receptions,
2:04 pm
they halftime -- if they want to move perceptions, they have time to do that. tom: there is something dreaded, mark crumpton, they mention the meeting just the medium term no one knows the short-term or long-term. charles plosser would never use the medium term, but it is what you use when you are confused. inflation is seen as rising toward 2% in the medium-term. i jersey, what is the medium-term? as: we can to think of it two to four years. what is interesting is that the dollar is getting much stronger here. sense, becauseof even if the fed is not hiking in certainlythey have upgraded their assessment of the u.s. economy. they are certainly not easing based on the statement. likely will have the ecb
2:05 pm
ease more. mario draghi has been pretty clear about that. kathleen: and i have been a challenge and some in block for the federal reserve. -- and that has been a challenge and stumbling block for the federal reserve. mario draghi has made it clear that he is worried about disinflation. what is interesting going into this meeting, couple of key governors from the federal reserve giving speeches, governor brainard in particular, saying something along the lines that improvement in the market is not sufficient data to gauge the outlook for inflation. there is now a debate about whether or not you can start unemploymentith when you are so far away from that inflation target. ira: there is a question of whether or not you get a wage push. classic -- the classic ideas -- idea is that if we just go up, you get more workers
2:06 pm
because of the higher pay. now you have younger workers willing to work for less money today than perhaps they were when inflation and interest rates were much higher. it is not obvious that the jobs picture is going to push of inflation. we think it will, but there is a lot of literature that suggests it is not necessarily the case. that is one of the trepidations that the fed has for hiking without obvious signs of inflation. dissent, itk of could have been anybody else, what does that signal? michael: it shows that janet yellen is holding the committee together. jeff lacher has made his opinion clear. there are others who would probably agree with him, but there is no point going strong with the dissent because it would not, which anything at this point. we know there are others who would like to join him, but most
2:07 pm
people are still willing to wait. the interesting thing is they talked about next year instead of december, and they are not pushing back either. tom: can i see the -- say that the chart looks like the promo x-files movie? it just looks like something that mulder or scully would look at. i'm just saying. ira: we have been talking about 18 months. you've heard others say is not a commitment. not: i'm not -- ira: i'm committed to hiking. but they have said it. what is the use of things like thatt plot and the fact other members said they are going to that? tom: i know you're going to
2:08 pm
julie. julie: i want to start with the bond market. we have seen a loss in the bond market as well. it is important to point out the move in currencies and rates. you have alluded to it, but i want to put a fine point on it. here you are saying they have it all together. there we have it. as you can see on your screen. the movement up in race premarket, going up to 2.09% on the 10 year. 2.06% beforeout the statement. it is back on the increase. wellathleen mentioned as that the two-year is also seeing an upward move in rates. the dollarement in versus the euro in particular, the euro really going down here,
2:09 pm
falling by about .8%. 1.095, the euro per dollar here. stocks, a round-trip to indeed we are seeing stocks selloff from where they were before this meant -- this statement coming out. stocks before the statement were .9% and the s&p has paired that to about .3%. mentioning,e was thekathleen said earlier, euro moving. i look at the euro yen as a strong indication of the dollar. mark: let's get a last word from ira jersey. i'm curious as to what is going politicalh the
2:10 pm
ramifications in washington if policymakers are looking at the fact that the debt ceiling deal had not been solidified as of right now, and that there could be another government default if that is not being taking care of. is that in their thinking as well, that they might raise rates under certain situations? ira: i think everyone expects that the debt ceiling will be raised. it would be great not to have to deal with it personally in 2017. you don't want to mess around with the debt of the united states in terms of credit. i think in december if that is all cleared up, that won't be on their mind at all. seniorppenheimer portfolio manager, ira jersey. for those of you watching on bloomberg television and listening on bloomberg radio, let's bring the former president of the federal reserve bank, charles plosser, joining us live from chicago. mr. plosser, thank you for your
2:11 pm
time today. any surprises for you today from the fed decision? no real surprises. by the way, i'm glad to be with you again. i think it is hard to imagine that we would learn anything between september and october to change the rationale of what they had in september. no one is surprised and, certainly i wasn't. kathleen: we know the fed wants to move on rates. we know the last two reports on the payroll site have been disappointing. and the new york fed president, bill dudley, said recently that he would watch until the end of the year. there are a lot of labor indicators coming out. that really that simple, the jobs picture coming out will in the big --the bid december?
2:12 pm
charles: we know those estimates are pretty rough and will be revised and changed. even at 150,000, that is kind of what you would expect from the job market to keep unemployment fairly stable. i think there is not enough change -- you notice their language didn't really change as far as i can tell. it was a quick read, but the statement changed relatively little. i think that reflects the fact that things have not really changed much in their minds. that is why it really didn't change. tom: professor, good afternoon. tom keene here. steve roach wrote this morning and really went after the fed and plosser and lacquer and the --lacher and the rest.
2:13 pm
when would you suggest we are hawkishing to see a ian said. --fed? [laughing] i may not live that long. there is some evidence that the fed is getting increasingly nervous about being an zero for seven years now. zero for seven years now. we have an economy growing at 2% and an unemployment rate down about 5% unlikely to go lower.
2:14 pm
that is awful close to what anybody would describe as the fed meeting its goals and mandates, but we are still at emergency policy settings. that is making and should make policymakers nervous. if vice-chairman fisher agrees with former philadelphia president plosser that we are at emergency levels. kathleen: yes, but there is the question -- many of them missed thempportunity -- many of feel they miss the opportunity in september, 2013. mark: michael mckee is in washington with a question. michael: i have a question for charlie plosser. of when andr plot how they will raise rates, they have been saying for months and months that in determining how to maintain their target range they will assess progress on inflation, etc.
2:15 pm
today they say, in determining whether it will be appropriate to raise the target range at its next meeting. how much of a community you see that as being and how hard would that have been to get into the statement? charles: it is not a commitment, of course. they have been saying for some time that every meeting is a live meeting. is the message they have been trying to send. regardless of the outcome, they will debate the issues on the merits. i think probably -- and i don't know. i obviously wasn't there. i suspect you will have a lot of the same debates take place in this meeting that you did in the previous meeting. michael: do you see anything pointing us to that meeting in a way that it hasn't before? charles: i think member -- many of the members of the committee,
2:16 pm
and the speaker is saying, and thatphil dudley is saying the meetings are all live meetings. there was debate about whether the product -- the press conference would matter or not. i just think they are keeping it on the table. it is not a commitment to do anything other than continue their debate. i think it would be more helpful, though, if they can become a little bit more specific about what it will take over the course of a year. they keep changing periodically the criteria. well, we will not do it this time because of china, or because of europe, or because of inflation, or because of labor markets. that is not a very good strategy from my point of view, and it confuses markets. they need to get more specificity in it i think. mark: all right, the former fed president charles plosser -- the former philadelphia president of osser,d, charles pl
2:17 pm
staying with us. brendan greeley, you have a couple of charge here. one on sovereign yields and one on others. what on sovereign yields? recently we heard it said that it may restrain economic activity somewhat. now we have different verbiage. terminal can plot yield curves. right now, we are looking at developed economies and the yield curve getting up there towards 2% for sovereign debt. all of the economy spent a long time below zero. fed isu look at what the looking at another developed economies, they are seeing pressure downward. if you bring that over to emerging economies, every emerging connie -- emerging
2:18 pm
economy has its own story, yet you have a different set of yield curves. it looks comparatively flat. then you got malaysia, indonesia, brazil all the way on top, and the fed is being pulled in different direction. but they are paying less attention. onk: as you know, the folks radio cannot see the charts. what does this? -- what does this mean? brendan: a means the fed is paying attention to two completely that amick -- two completely different dynamics. ateurope they are looking things that drag the yield curve down. for growth.tion you see that in germany. if you look elsewhere in the world, you get a completely different story, expectations of growth and expectations of
2:19 pm
inflation. the u.s. is comfortably right in the middle. what is different from the last statement to this statement is that they seem less concerned about being stuck between two different policy rounds. mark: then that begs the question, are they paying attention because they want to or because they have to have -- they have to? brendan: we had a lot of companies telling us in the last quarter that earnings were affected because of developments abroad. that is what the fed was worried about. what we are seeing in this statement is that they seem to be less worried. that tells me that what they were really worried about is not economic growth abroad, but the actual volatility in markets that they saw at the time. kathleen: i would like to reference the future start, if i could. i don't know that we've mentioned that going into the meeting, the fed funds futures --e looking for a 34%
2:20 pm
looking for a raising of the rate. is up to 46% and it is getting closer to half. it will be interesting to watch these numbers in the coming days , whether there will be more of a consensus building for the december move, for all of the reasons you mentioned, brendan, particularly in the language. fromi look at the dialogue where we were to today, can you imagine what it's going to be like? of december 3n two december 16. kathleen: it will be fun. tom: is professor plosser still with us? mark: yes. tom: you were teaching the as we that we were doing stagger from september and then into october and then december. what textbook are we in right
2:21 pm
now? charles: no textbook that i know of. [laughter] tom: thank you. it's a reminder that we are in original economics. charles: these are pretty unusual times. point you were talking about, internationally, i think as you are aware, i think they should have moved in september. i think they should have moved last year. it isn't it interesting to watch how in subtle ways, the language does change. i think the case for international hesitancy that was given in september and how they backed off on that, i think it's troubling from a communication strategy standpoint. i think the fed is being pushed and pulled in different directions by the market, by the media, by the different angles. i think they have to struggle
2:22 pm
with getting a consistent, parent -- coherent message that does not bounce around from month to month with statistics. mark: and julie hyman, speaking about bouncing around, we saw a selloff after the fed statement. julie: in stocks, yes. but i do want to talk about what camping was talking about with futures and the pricing in. this is about a 10 minute delay. nevertheless, we did see a surge in next occasions -- in expectations following the fed meeting. almost every time i refresh this thing it has gone up about a percentage point or so. another way to map this is to look at the chart at the bottom of my screen. this shows the trajectory for the december meeting and the big movement of we have just had. -- the big movement up that we have just had. in other words, an indication
2:23 pm
thethe fed raising rates at next meeting. what impact of this have on the market? we have seen all three averages turning negative. they are bouncing back to some degree right now. we have seen stock investors, risk investors really want the stimulus to remain. we have seen rates go higher as well as we have seen the stock markets come off of their highs. we have seen a dramatic movement in the dollar as well, the dollar going higher against its trading partners. mark: julie hyman, thank you. i want to get back to philadelphia fed president charles plosser. he joins us from chicago. julie just spoke about the dollar. it is -- has implications. will this exacerbate the situation? charles: i don't think it's enough to make much change.
2:24 pm
we have had depreciation is in the dollar in the past year and it has been important and will have modest impact. would be whether you really see it going a lot higher, significantly higher than it is now. i don't think the committee sees that. i think they gave a statement today saying the forecast for the future kind of remains intact, and there is no dramatic change in the database off. so they did not change course much. i think that is fully not surprising, despite the movements in the dollar. it will not make much difference unless it moves dramatically higher. mark: former fed president charles plosser joining us from chicago. let's go around the table and get some final thoughts. kathleen hays, i will start with you. am i correct in calling this a nonevent because people were not expecting anything to happen anyway? kathleen: the fed made it clear that they do, even more than
2:25 pm
ever, want to raise rates. they have given a stronger as -- force december, four december, as michael mckee said. brendan greeley pointed out that they are not as worried about the international situation. with theou know, forecast to move by the the year, it's not a commitment. can publish a three word statement, "this is big." he is looking to move beyond international developments and chinese develop its and take it back to a domestic analysis. mark: re: seeing now, in a sense, a preparation -- are we seeing now, in a sense, a preparation for the markets for december? not preparation for of next, but by june
2:26 pm
year, or maybe when michael vick decides to win a game. michael: we will have another month and a half of zero interest rate, but there is no guarantee that will last into 2016. a lot of data comes out before the fed's next meeting on december 16. mark: michael mckee joining us from washington. charles plosser joining us from chicago. brendan greeley, and julie hyman, and i read jersey joining us on this special fed coverage. -- and i read jersey joining us on this special but every. thank you all very much. note, aprogramming one-hour "with all due respect" at 5:00 eastern time. ♪ buddy- nice place, nice car what happened?

changing after the fed statement, after the fed took away the commentary about being emergency. the commentary of just heard as well as things i have been reading, it is saying the fed at the very least leaves the door open for a rate increase, something the market was not pricing and. the probability being priced into futures before the statement was in the 30% range. it has gone up to 35% and you see the chart on the bottom here. this was a 10 minute lag here and i want to note that we see it bouncing around within the 49% range. the probability for the march meeting goes to like 70% or what effect does this have across management question mark we saw downward in the stock prices after this came out, most stock investors have been fairly content with the stimulus we have seen it we have seen a long

2:35 pm
here that is expected to change and inflation will move toward their target and perhaps most importantly, they note that in their discussion in december, they will move from considering whether to leave rates unchanged, too active consideration of whether they should -- could raise rates. no guarantee that will last until -- into 2016. mark: at first we saw the dow was up triple digits before the start of the hour and then we saw fall. are -- pricing in the idea to members are at a possible turning point. the fed does not want the markets to assume nothing will happen until march of next year. they said they would like to raise rates by the end of next year and this statement is pushing them in the direction. they are seeing the dollar rise in the equity selloff. perhaps with the fed was looking for. concern have seen

2:38 pm
are you optimistic that the tenor on capitol hill will change now with a new speaker in place? >> i do not know if the tenor will change. it will depend partly on how the new relationship works out between paul ryan and the tea party. you will need a speaker who will stick around and be willing to find common ground with democrats. i do want to thank speaker boehner for clearing the decks as he leaves washington. he has helped paul ryan in that sense he has gotten off the table some of the most politically difficult issues that paul ryan would have face. the debt ceiling, obviously, we have got to pay our bills on time and speaker boehner has made sure we can do that through 2017 and we have pushed for this for a long time of the democratic side. it came awfully late but we got it done. the other issue is dealing with the very unproductive sequester

2:41 pm
have heard so far has been focused on a lot of the stuff that donald trump has thrown out there. his anti-immigration agenda. i do not think it has shown the republican party in the kind of way that probably republicans would like it to be received. maybe that will change tonight. david: thank you for your time. we want to make sure you show -- join us tonight at 5:00 p.m. eastern on with all due respect. tonight's's republican presidential debate. write out the capital, we are waiting from the gop leadership again. just a few moments ago, paul ryan is the nominee, gop to the next speaker of the house. ♪

2:45 pm
strike will be a third of the major upgrades. a very important component of the strategy for nuclear deterrence solves the ability to penetrate the airspace. an important program, $80 billion. very important. themat do we know about being able to pull this off? they are up against a pair. how did they do it? dowe think it has a lot to with the industrial policy at the pentagon. the pentagon has talked for some time about how they like the number of prime contractors they have known they want to keep that number. they really did not have any major programs on the play right now. it also did a lot of the work and build the b-2 bomber program it came right before this one. we think it made a lot of sense from the industrial standpoint as well as the fact they had done the previous version. david: i was struck reading about this about how many secret
2:46 pm
aspects there are. how did that come kid the process? george: for the companies, it does not come kid the process because they have access to all the information. analyst unity makes it difficult for us to figure out who is in the floor for us here it is a very important part of the u.s. deterrent strategy. you do not want to let and it -- enemies understand how we plan penetrate theian airspace and strike at a will. it is secret for an important reason. david: many billions of dollars are coming their way. i imagine there are many subcontractors here and you say they benefit as well. george: i think the biggest one will be the subcontractor. we do not know right now. 25 or more will see percent of that money flowing toward the contractor.
2:47 pm
so there will be a lot of down streaming for sure. david: the expectation is that this will be ready, it will be flying by the mid-2020's. so many of the programs are delayed. what is the likelihood this will be up and running by mid-2020? george: they are fairly far along in the development program from what we are reading. we really have a problem because the b-52 fleet in the b-1 fleet make up the lion's share now and they are both going to need to be taken out of the force by the 2040 time frame. the b-52 fleet will be 75 years old. years olderll be 50 or so. it is hard to fly an airframe longer than that number of years. neither one of them has stealth capability. the pentagon i think really needs this asset. we spent the last number of
2:48 pm
years really fighting the wars in iraq and afghanistan, focused on ground forces. i think the pentagon will keep it on track and get it done. quickly, i know the pair they were up against could challenge this along with the process take? george: i am not sure how likely it is. team,ntagon will show the the criteria they use. that team will have to decide how much they want to irritate andpentagon by going ahead contesting this award. it is not a situation like a tanker where they had given the contract to a non-us company like airbus. we are handing it to another defense prime care will have to tread carefully. my guess is we do not but we will see. david: coming up, a new
