an extremist attack that took place because of the military anythingr didn't have to do with what we saw happening last week in france? far, we don't know. the pentagon said they do not believe the islamic state had any role in it. al qaeda came out and said they were responsible. it could be a way for these groups to let the world though they are still out there and al qaeda is still strong. it will not be overshadowed by the islamic state. they could be a sign of sympathy, or a reminder to the french that in their eyes, they should not have been there to start with. you so much. france says the number of people who want to join the army has tripled since last week's attack. inquiries through their website day.d from 500 to 1500 a

500, but it is all energy. with energy out of the next, revenues will be up 2%. the s&p 500 is the s&p 500, you can't pick and choose. energy is having an impact on the overall earnings numbers. we're seeing strength in health care and consumer discretionary and taxed. scarlet: you'll have easier comparisons in the next year? >> energy prices have been week. they are still falling. we're starting to get some stabilization. 2016, you will have better comps. alix: at what point has a stronger dollar already been factored into the companies? >> for exporters, they are being hurt by it. you look at the dollar and energy prices overall. you look at a company like caterpillar, down 16% year over year. they have been going down for 35

months. when you compound double-digit sales growth year after year, it adds up. in the industrial sector, energy, commodities, or exporting out of the u.s., you're having a tough time. the messick lay oriented companies and sectors are doing better. sectors.the retail you can blame it on the weather, or the fact that americans have shifted the way they spend. if we are spending more on services, dining, i we seeing those results another consumer companies that cater to services? paul: in monthly retail sales, it he now did restaurants and bars has been steadily rising throughout this area. the one area where amazon cannot get your business. deliveryy have made for snacks, i'm just saying. paul: amazon online sales are

hurting some of these countries. people are shifting how they spent money, on technology products. people are spending less on clothing and more on experiences. scarlet: but the s&p did in 1998 at the heart of the asian financial crisis, what you notice when you compare those two? paul: looking at how stocks traded in that year compared to prior years. .008 and 1998, have a lot 1990 eight is the asia crisis. the rest of the world was weak and the u.s. was strong. in 1998 come the s&p was up and the selloff in the fall was greater. if you look at the pattern, there is a scare in both ears. you close out on a strong note. scarlet: november on is a straight line up. alix: august through october is really fast. the caveat is in 1998 the

fed was easing policy in the panic of the russia crisis. we are looking at a fed that will hike at least once in december, it looks like. whether they keep going is up for debate. lessed is in some ways easy, but their balance sheet is higher. scarlet: what is the show you about the raising rate environment and where we are in stocks? paul: when you hike rates, it depends on the speed with which rates hike. the speed depends on whether or not there behind our head of the curve. if we see a situation where there slowly hiking rates, that is generally stocks performing well. meeting after meeting after meeting eventually breaks the back of the market. may be part of this week, like we saw in late summer, when the feds have held for such a long time, then they hike rates, every time you look at the time

they have been on hold for a year with no change, the market selloff between 5% and 10%. they have now been on hold for many years. there will be some volatility when they go off the curve, believe we may have seen that some in the summer. scarlet: thank you. paul hickey of the spoke investment group. let's go to julie hyman with breaking news on tesla. alix: she is making her way over right now. julie, tesla news. julie: the company is recalling do check thes cars seatbelts. shares are declining on this news a voluntary recalls. this is about the front seatbelt not being properly connected. they found a model s in europe with the front seatbelt not properly connected to the .utboard retentioner the company is doing a voluntary

recall. 90,000 model s cars. i don't know how many there are overall, but that sounds like a lot. you can see the shares taking a hit. they're not done that much, they have bounced a little off of the lows. when you are a young car company, and we of had so many issues with the larger automakers, this has to give customers pause. alix: and they want to hit the goal of getting to 55,000 vehicles. that is not a headline you want. julie: at the same time, it is a seatbelt. not an engine problem or problem with the electrical. that is worth pointing out, as well. scarlet: nike's new buyback lan is receiving a warm welcome. with a company perhaps miss an opportunity by spending the cash on itself? into thegle is jumping

$20 billion this year purchased women. you have seen even parity videos on activewear. this is something that is important to nike. they have not been able to crack it as well as they have done men's basketball shoes, or something like that. alix: they should put money on that instead of $12 billion on buybacks. they pointed out others can come by lululemon instead. saidy: under armour has that women are important to us. they have grown it from nothing to 30% of the business. both of those companies are, to be fair, proud companies. to be able to say, we want to do it ourselves, is what nike did with their stock buybacks. lululemon'swe know stance? are they looking to be taken over? shelly: their shares are down. sales havestore

scarlet: welcome back to bloomberg "markets." gearing up for

holiday season. google is expanded their delivery service to shoppers throughout southern california. scarlet: will it be enough to take on delivery giants like amazon? joining us to discuss the west coast wake-up is reporter brad stone. why does google want in on this? google is threatened by amazon. at least 20% of its revenues come from product search. increasingly, for 10 years, people are starting their searches on amazon. they are making it easier to get things quickly. google has had to get in the market itself, delivering things, to provide an alternative to amazon. behind google express is to create a confederacy of off-line stores and macy's, and

deliver from those stores to people's homes. will they be taken away e-commerce sales from brick and mortar retailers at the end of the day? brad: you put your finger on the problem. what is the cost savings you are passing on? what google is doing is subsidizing the sales. another distribution partner, all of the stores have others and will sometimes work t or companies like instacar ups. this.er how affordable is if you're working from selections from physical stores, you have the built in inventory and real estate costs in the off-line model, you're not cutting the corners needed to pass savings to customers and be competitive with amazon. from is this to prevent me going to the amazon app and keep

me on their website to look at their ads? i don't think they would oppose it that way. they would say they are giving their users, those searching for products on google, and there are a lot, and easy way to go from search, to shopping, to delivery. they would say they have e-commerce shoppers coming to google. i think the business goal would be to block amazon. scarlet: too bad people don't buy things as much. it is all services and eating out. alix: is now the time for emerging markets? goldman sachs thinks there is a turnaround. we will discuss. ♪

more difficult given the exposure to commodities and cyclicals. alix: goldman, and others have said this, too, point to india, russia, those areas really providing the growth from emerging markets. whereas the outliers are malaysia and columbia. our favorite markets right now are china, mexico, and russia. certainly my partner and i have had a lot of experience in the russian market and we see this as an entry point. for emerging to really perform on cyclicals and commodities, you need a pickup in growth areas that article does mention a pickup in growth, but it has to be led by chinese growth. we do see sustainability,

particularly indicators that were very week this summer. it would be positive for commodity markets like russia. you mentioned some in latin america as well. a little bitgree is on india. very high expectations. certainly gdp growth has been very strong. that market has not been very expensive. scarlet: gotcha. gabriel, you mention china. let's start there. goldman sachs is the biggest risk is the significant depreciation of the yen. a second that play out time, because investors are much more on guard for this possibility after august. it is interesting that

investors focus on the depreciation of the currency and china. does run a trade surplus. in our opinion, the currency is well supported. unfortunately, its neighbors have the appreciated their currencies almost 20% this year. so, china is losing some competitiveness, in addition to having wage growth above and beyond its competitors. we don't see the need for the to depreciate,y to adjust to any particular deficit, that it is losing competitiveness. markethas been gaining share. how do they perform when oil prices are still low. for that, i tracked the emerging markets index, and the purple

line is the bread price -- break price. it's not a perfect correlation, but how do they do it with the oil prices rallying? guest: traditionally, commodity interest has been very high. markets like russia, as you mention, are highly exposed to the oil price. assumingsitive on oil, mining, and we think there has been an adjustment. will mention the currency weakness in emerging markets, which is effective of its weakness and commodities helps corporate perform better in terms of earnings. you look at companies like samsung in korea. they benefited from the depreciation of the korean currency. weakern be boosted by currency if that improves

margins. it has to be led by a demand in china. risean't see a broad based in china. it will continue to perform very well. let's continue where you left off. you are talking about companies like alibaba and baidu. what does this do to the investment base of these companies? i think is very positive. the stocks of been out of index for quite a while. baidu has been out for a while. alibaba, new companies. the addition of these 14 adr's, which are obviously for enlisted, did not have an institutional base, in my opinion, and this does rod and the investor base.

them will have to include as they follow benchmarks, but also long only investors, which are quite long in emerging markets, will have to include them in their portfolios, at least versus the benchmark. and finally, the increase is in the benchmark in china quite dramatically. it's possible that they will be by secular growth companies and less materials that used to be in the top 10. good point.t is a it also widens the valuation gap with shares excluded from the indexes. does that create opportunities for those kinds of companies? yes, they trade at a big discount to a shares. those are at a 40% premium, which is quite wide. if you look at the northbound quota between hong kong and

shanghai, there is a premium. there is less interest is there is a premium. but in our opinion, they trade a very attractive mode will -- very attractive multiples. alix: thank you very much. great stuff, gabriel wallach. , mario draghig up says he will act fast to combat deflation. we have details from his policy speech. alix: we will have more on details after the terror attacks last week. scarlet: and we will discuss security issues and more with who many consider should angela merkel step down. ♪

is a valuation play? guest: it is a little bit of both. military expenditures of ghana for 10 years straight. you look at what happened last the s&p,ou see it done but this is part of a continued story. this is a hidden gem. i cannot not taken here often, but when you look at aerospace shares, this is the big one. it has beaten the s&p for 30 percentage points for the last 10 years, as you just said. etf's as a whole are now at a billion dollars, which is a lot for a little industry. when you look at this one, this is a big market cap one. it has 9% weighting to lockheed and boeing. they have been crushing it. sometimes an etf is market cap weighted. it can help if they are doing well. it has held those companies.

diverse is it? how many companies are there when you break it all down question mark really talking about exposure to three or -- when you break it all down? really you're talking about exposure to two or three companies? yes, aerospace is only 20% of the weighting of the industrial etf's. you're getting a little. plenty for most people. if you're going into an industry, it's a little more volatile than the s&p, not much. that passes my test as to whether this product has any value as an add-on to a portfolio. going back, i was trying to regress the etf by two 2000, because a lot of the rhetoric friday wasriday was

france's 9/11, in terms of it will change the way that they look at foreign policy, the defense surveillance system. i wonder there is a correlation that we can draw in terms of the aerospace and defense sector? is old and i did not go back that far. parties are talking about beefing up the military. could be a huge issue, no matter who wins. if you see this as a bigger threat, it does bode well. but you have seen these etf's search already. one quick point though -- there's another aerospace etf, powershares. this is way more liberal in what it uses as. it has 15% tech in there. it's like cyber security -- scarlet: it is the new world of defense. .ric: a little side note the differences in the holdings.

border policy in europe? disaster ifuld be a that happens. i personally think that is the it is an option to say that we must have much stronger border control. and the outside borders of the european union. but if we come to a conclusion we need border control with austria, hungary, france, germany, that brings us closer to the end of a big, dream. our bloomberg view editor to the opposite side of that saying the dismantling of this altogether, if it came to that would be a serious loss, but it wouldn't be a disaster. what would you say to that? i strongly disagree.

i think we need to be extremely careful not to undermine any of the big gains the european idea has brought up, and one of them freedom of movement. but the freedom of movement is more than just something which has been built up as a symbol. it has a very emotional component as well. security has to be established by the outside borders. we have to work together as a union and not a re-nationalized, fragmented european not union any longer, but europe. do that how do you question mark have you step up security without jeopardizing movement between borders in europe? we havehe specifics are to bring the forces together internally. we have to find military forces willing to control the outside borders. hungary cannot do it alone.

croatia would not be able to do it alone. greece is facing a lot of pressure in that regard. so, why not having german police forces, austrian police forces helping out over there? helping intelligence forces, areing with people that needed for controlling properly? i think that is way better than building up all of those controls with india. how do you pay for that? we need funds from brussels, of course, and we need putut way more on the -- way more on the table. in needs to be resolved in a common effort and not in a race to having the most nationalist approach. alix: something we have seen over the last week is german

chancellor angela merkel could be vulnerable because she has been so open with the refugees in germany. what is your position on that? what is your take? she is taken a very admirable position at the very beginning. however what i think she meant, was the "comma, but" at the very beginning. that means setting limits. andnumbers we are taking right now are way too high, not manageable any longer. she is facing quite a mighty wind right now, in and my opinion, she needs to act. very quickly, what would your refugee plan look like if you're not chancellor? i am not. i am joining a free life right now, specifically in the u.s. one, we have to act together at the very place where the whole crisis actually has its root.

so, we need a more concerted international effort in syria, some veryven with unhealthy, uncomfortable partners like russia. to work against them will not work. we need their support without coming to foul compromises. secondly, we need more control next to the borders of the crisis and we need to engage turkey there. we need to engage a couple of other countries. our we need to take domestic and inter-european problems. it's extremely complex, but a problem that needs to be addressed and we need americans being a strong partner. alix: thank you for staying up late to speak with us. really appreciate it, karl-theodor zu guttenberg, former german defense minister, joining is there in germany. scarlet: coming up, how will be paris attacks affect the european markets as we head into

ready to exchange their unsecured debt for secure debt area investors are panicking. othercould mean -- companies of done that, either bankruptcy reasons or to help their p&l. laura: you've seen them change over time. some of the bonds you are talking about, if they are going to come and do a deal, be layered on. they did change their capacity for doing $2 billion worth of new. scarlet: i was reading that training is much worse than chesapeake's credit rating might suggest. a downgrade might be around the corner. what does that mean for the price and volume and volatility? investors see where there is a path of getting downgraded. you might have trading action

can't hold itunds because it's rated lower. i don't think you will see that with chesapeake, but you will see prices change to where agencies say we actually have some things here we need to refocus on. and the company is not doing as well as this rating really should be, they may downgraded. it does have a negative outlook. alix: i've been waiting for capital markets to freeze up some of these energy companies and it looks like that's happening for chesapeake. i never thought it would be chesapeake. i thought it would be smaller, independent emts. i would have never have thought a griffey would be an option. what is the next step for chesapeake? it will probably try and do exchanges, that's what you do with the company to stay alive, save your equity for as long as you can. but they do start to run out of options. 30%,ur bonds are yielding 20%, it's very difficult to even do an exchange. you'll probably see that start to happen. andproblem with chesapeake

others like peabody energy, you still have a lot of real money investors, mutual funds, insurance companies that don't want to exchange. you have to hedge funds and their, they want to do an exchange like that. it's going to be a bit of an issue for somebody like peabody energy recipe. alix: laura keller, thank you. chesapeake's credit problems indicative of what we're seeing across the high-yield market. check out the junk bond spreads, the premium that investors demand in order to own those over treasuries. analysts blame energy companies for this jump to read is that true, or is it a canary in a coal mine are other companies? joining us is our colleague from london, simon ballard. simon, such a pleasure to have you on set.

something liket chesapeake, what does that tell you about the junk bond spread and the general market? simon: it's an interesting story. you have two transitions, commodity prices and the prospect of shared left off. the funding cost that that's going to imply for some of these weaker rates, the high-yield corporate's that have been living off cheap debt for the last couple of years. much moreoing into a technical and demanding and challenging environment for the high-yield space area using these blowout in high-yield spreads, and a recent deepening in the u.s. of the quality curve. in the investment rate versus high-yield, we come back a little bit in europe and we have tightened back to about 330. but we are still very wide in terms of the steepness of the curve over here in the u.s., which suggests to me that the market is very nervous about high-yield will react is all this continues to play out. scarlet: what happens of the

federal reserve doesn't raise interest rates in the summer? simon: i think there will be a short-term rally and in the high-yield space. people look and say they haven't managed to raise rates because they are obviously worried at fundamental backdrop, from a credit metrics spectrum is negligible. it supports the idiosyncratic on an issuer basis. the stress is not only been to the junk bond market, investment radio has also been rising. we are seeing that trickle. where is the safe haven? simon: rupees yesterday looking at the status or havens in the current context. previously you have the japanese yen, we had the central banks, that's wiped out that story. corporate credit has been the

safe haven asset. if some of the higher leveraged sovereign balance sheets, the ecb expanding its potentially, people moved in the corporate credit. alix: corporate credit is the safe haven, not sovereigns anymore. simon: absolutely. there is no real safe haven now. there will always be the overall haven from the dollar, but there is no general single asset that people say is the haven in times of stress. the observation that private sector balance sheets are considered stronger than public sector. simon: you had risk over the past i've or six years. alix: then you have names like glencore volkswagen that have abandoned this great space at the same time. that's no longer even a safe haven. simon: it drives home the fact that is a stockpicking market, because there is heightened interest. you've really got to be on your

toes all the time. scarlet: in the united states, dividend yield versus bonfield. how does that look -- bonded yield? if you look at the relationship between bonfield and investment-grade on yield, in the u.s. relative to europe, in europe you have a 200 point spread between dividend yields, much more attractive than investment-grade yields. because of the ecb policy accommodation, we've got a very low level investment-grade yields. is the flipside in the u.s.. that marginroding as of late, but it's more attractive to buy bonds than equities than the running yield basis. for a yield basin best are, you need to pick your chances while you can. scarlet: simon ballard,

of the votes that were supposed to go to the third candidate in the last place, purely went to of going to the parent list. it's been a surprise, polls are indicating that he is well ahead. however, can we really trust the polls? they been really misguiding and misleading elections around the world this year. aen last year with brazil good example of one that was a complete shocker. that hepolls indicated wouldn't be making it to a second round in the first class. can we really trust them? investors are certainly trusting them, they really pushing the market of high. alix: how did we get here? katia: how do we get to the situation where they want change? how did we get to the point that they want a runoff.

they have tremendously high inflation. inflation is the one thing that, across economic lines, everyone really feels. when you feel your pocket getting lighter and lighter by the day, and your salary isn't changing at the pace that it should, when you feel that the government isn't reporting inflation that the ties you really feel that it is, that really impact two. plus you have other things that are really tilting the sectors, which is your currency is in depreciating the way it should be to make up for inflation. you never really valued -- overvalued exchange rate that is distorting everything within the economy. things havel that to change so dramatically, and it could be very very painful when this happens. scarlet: but eventually it should balance out. have ather candidate plan to address that inflation? katia: so far, no one has detailed anything. one has said he would get into single digits, the other has

said he would get it below 10% as well. of them don't really believe that inflation is where it is right now, even though they have had a big change in the methodology of targeting inflation. there's a clear necessity also to change an agency and make sure they become credible again. because everything is being impacted by these allegedly false numbers. including how you allocate money to the poor. seems to other issue be companies coming in and setting up shop there. enticing global companies enough to do that, do either of the candidates have a specific plan? we've seen a lot of green companies wanting to expand in argentina, setting up offices there. -- this is had a lot a huge agricultural company. the meant a lot of hoarding of grain because farmers are hoping -- for the peso to devalue

more so they can bring in more money want to does. they have a huge warning situation, which is also something you only see in these countries that have these distortions. the plan should be that once they settle with the holdouts, once they settle with elliott management and other investors that are holding these defaulted bonds from 2001, that money can really start flowing into the country in a way that it just hasn't ever since the default. once that money really comes in, people are expecting -- companies are expecting to find a huge boom across many different sectors. porzecanski,a thank you. she covers opening markets for bloomberg news. alix: coming up on "bloomberg been a bigfizer has company to avoid the tax system. will new rules for their plans? ♪

a foreign domicile for tax purposes, the rules also say when it happened he's actually carries out, it will make it harder for them to read the tax benefits they are seeking. alix: what are the rules the government is proposing will be in effect today? zachary: one of the makes it more difficult for a company that got foreign subsidiaries, it becomes foreign, to try and move those foreign subsidiaries out of the u.s. tax system. it's complicated, but it will postpone the company's ability to read the tax benefit of an inversion transaction. this is very controversial, lots of presidential candidates have discussed this. what are people saying on the campaign trail, and how feasible are some of these plans? zachary: people like donald trump event very outspoken about their concern about inversions. for the most part, republicans who have been critical of said let's just cut the corporate tax rates as they apply to foreign earnings of u.s. companies to
