4:02 pm
joe: huge day for the nasdaq. scarlet: something that caught my eye was oil prices. let's take a deep dive into the bloomberg terminal. when it went below 40 i thought it was over. i thought it would take stocks down. we bounced up above that. that --ot go above below that. numbers were dicey. the u.s. imported less. inventory should be drawn down more but they were not. demand in the u.s. was not that great. that was the takeaway from the numbers. oil was able to rally. nonetheless it went up with the stocks. joe: one of the famous is that stocks need oil to rise. oil is ugly, and can do too much.
4:03 pm
i want to dive into the terminal and look at two-year yields which are sensitive to interest rates. this chart speaks to the extent that they are on the same page. , they didn't move at all. everything is in sync right now. i think the fed has to be good, the message they are sending is what the market is ready to hear. scarlet: in contrast to september. and the devise of the blackrock globalists and funds. it has been tough times for this part of the world. s&p 500 is the blue line up 40%. line tracks macro hedge funds globally.

4:05 pm
they recognize their mistake to draw this gloomy picture for the globe. joe: do you think janet yellen is feeling good? there was volatility and she had her critics. the fact that she didn't go for it. economic data has come in. she could say this is a much more comfortable time to land. guest: she is far more comfortable than august or september, or prior to the payroll report. it bell did the fed out. that is a great thing. the economy looks decent. that really put the icing on the cake. putting some wage data, that

raising guidance for the full year of revenue. the low end of the guidance is higher than the consensus estimated. $.74 forper-share of the full year of 2016. on those counts salesforce is topping estimates. alix: the guidance is 8-8 $.1 billion. you were getting more positive on the u.s.. guest: the main reason we stepped away after a long commitment for nearly five years was the miss commit -- miscommunication during transition from qe two the unwind of qe. we're going to reduce uncertainty and the fed has learned about communication. the market has learned lessons about how to read the fed. for me i am going to focus next year more on the u.s.
4:09 pm
i still love the europe and japan trade. i am moving out of neutral and more positive. just on the concept that we will stronger rate rises, a dollar, and the lower rates than usual for a business cycle upswing will put multiples higher. joe: you've heard that it has been able brutal street for global macro funds. your own long dollar trades done have sat on that and fantastic. short oil. whatever it is. why can't they take advantage? hast: your hfr index suffered. some major ones have closed. macro trading is a hard game. it looks easy in retrospect but the deal with macro funds is people trade with tight stop
4:10 pm
losses. people start tapping you on the shoulder and saying you have to do something about that. the volatility we have had, it was up 26%, it went to negative on the year in the summer, and it is back to 15%. you are trying to trade that theme with a bunch of guys telling you if you draw down by 4% you need to start pulling away. the way the macro fund world has aructured itself is for different volatility than we have. scarlet: a different kind may be. they have to trade into them and out of them. it is a lot of things that have gotten us into trouble. why are they not focusing on two
4:11 pm
years out, three years out. dort-termism makes people stupid things. alix: this shows the volatility across all asset classes, whether it is stocks, how do you see volatility playing out? we go through these , everybodyeuphoria gets resigned to low volatility, then the standard deviation event takes everybody out and it is a lot of heard mentality. is going to market evolve is you're going to see macros comeonal back to the market. guys willing to take bigger swings, 5-6% months will not be considered a bad thing in the context of trying to make that

lecture, i can believe that a thinking machine might over time out beat me but is less likely it will be giving this lecture to students a decade from now. what does this say about the that theyots can do, might be good at forecasting the economy but telling students at a university, they do not -- it is not going to be than getting good at that. when it comes to creativity, creating a story, writing a story, those are in the far future but the reality is not too many jobs are really focused largely on creativity. relatively simple things. scarlet: can you do a cause-and-effect with the robots in the u.s. with the number of jobs or the unemployment rate?

4:53 pm
there would be a big demand problem. it does seem like in this scenario where robots take so many jobs, in theory that is great for the owners of the robots but if there is no demand coming it wouldn't -- guest: that is one of the key things i focus on. you do not have consumers out -- it is not it is create consumer demand. right now the mechanism that gets purchasing power into the hands of consumers is jobs. if they go way we need to create a a mechanism. silicon valley is leading the way when it comes to the development and production in the technology of robots. have they come up with any solution to keep the robots from taking jobs? i don't think there is a
4:54 pm
way to prevent robots from taking our jobs. we can retrain people but there is no way to stop this technology and we wouldn't want to. technology has made us better off than previous generations. the last thing we want to do is change that. people to adapt to it so -- so technology can progress and everyone benefits at least to some extent. joe: there is a movement afoot to raise the minimum wage for everyone. a $15 minimum wage. opponents will say you are just going to speed up the pace of automation and the fast food places will hire robots. is that debate kind of silly? it's going to happen no matter what. guest: right. i would agree on that. there is some scaremongering out there of people against the minimum wage. they will say all these places
4:55 pm
are going to automate. i think it is inevitable. personally i support raising the minimum wage because in the short-term it will make people better off. the longer run automation is going to be a problem anyway. we will need to come up with a solution. berlet: there has to something positive about the rise of robots. guest: if we adapt appropriately and end up with a guaranteed optimistic it is an almost utopian scenario where no one has to do a job they hate. no one has to a dangerous job. people have more time for their families. everyone is better off. that is optimistic. can we get to that? alix: i'm sold. thank you for joining us. scarlet: author of the rise of be rights, we will back with what you need to know for tomorrow. ♪
