of cheap money, lots of q.e. out of the fed. we are now in a situation where we see an economy in the u.s. that is overstretched and got some access. and needs a small recession. without q.e., without the fed having your back, cash is a better alternative. tom: how board. jonathan: there seems to be two camps. one concerned about aggressive repricing. the other guys want to take advantage of some liquidity. some big flash crash moves. which one is it for you? asset in the camp that prices are overpriced. we need markets to go down. we need them to clear. and a recovery to come through at the other side of that. if i look at the u.s. corporate stressed.'s -- stretched.

6:37 am
has been the pressure valve for everyone else. yellend chair janet continue to tolerate that? >> i think it is one and done. because the dollar question is too much. you are right. we live in a structural world that is deflationary. we are putting all that pressure on the u.s. economy, and that is part of the reason we are heading towards recession. tom: the great call of the last seven years has been disinflation. there is a search for growth. where will it come from? asi see this u.s. recession a smaller version of the second half than the first one. if we get the other side of it, we might be able to start normalizing u.s. monetary policy and normalizing productivity growth. which really is what it's all about. and that is where i think long-term growth can come from. but it is not going to be easy. you have to clean out more access. tom: and we have to clean out more excess in europe. is that right? jonathan: are you talking about

6:43 am
at that chart -- brazil, do you think it is going to get worse before they get better, considering you also have an economy, and a fiscal policy that cannot run countercyclical to that downturn because there is pressure on the budget? >> i think there are a lot of problems in brazil. it is all of the above. i think it is very challenging. it is an economy that has never really -- tom: is it discrete or contained or does it have a contagion effect? >> it is a big economy. normally you would say of an economy that size, fifth biggestin the world, that would have a contagion effect. tom: there is a believe it can be separate. >> it may be. there is always a believe, that's right. whether it is brazil or the other emerging markets it is hard to say. there is a lot of debt in these places. tom: peter, have you seen a good study on black markets. brazil is one big black market. almost like a two tier system.
6:44 am
they have to normalize that pickpeter: can i throw one comment in? you mentioned contagion. it is not necessarily from the trade link but you look at the way south america is going in general, none of these economies is in great shape for not necessarily because brazil is bad but it is an impact. causes that are impacting -- tom: you did the internet story at business.com. credit suisse talking about an overpriced ruvell, someone like it overpriced real in brazil. jonathan: we talk about transmission mechanisms. the dominant one has been through the commodity market. the question i keep asking is at what point do we see it to the credit market? >> i'll answer your question -- but let me stress this point. are seeingyou through the commodity markets not only on russia, brazil, or

6:46 am
i would not be surprised if the dollar peaked on the press conference or announcements. jonathan: that is the exact call i heard from thhsbc. tom: i am glad you bring this up. steve major with the headline yield. a 1.5% 10-year that is very different than the optimism i hear from tom pros celli. >> when you look at what the market prices is already substantially below where the dot plots are. the market is not going to disregard the fed. but we already have incorporated -- [all talking at once] >> i'm not even sure the fed believes them. tom: there was a chart of six-month of dot plots. they looked like one of those psychological tests francine lacqua made me take but worse. coming up on bloomberg radio, a conversation with citigroup.

6:51 am
this mumbo-jumbo. why are equities immune from all the worry and challenges we have? >> i would not say they are immune. they peaked in the middle of this year. global markets have peace. the u.s. markets often peak later in a bear market. we saw that in 2007. there is plenty of indicators are already in a bear market. that is logical. we have taken away the sugar high. i think we have got the economic pressure. tom: a strong and market down 13%. i got that off the bloomberg terminal. jonathan: in this world of record low interest rates, low bond yields, surely that supports the equity market to some extent? >> that is not a new story. what we have actually had is fed tightening for 18 months. tapering its tightening could you look at shadow fed funds rate has gone from -3 to zero. we have had 300 basis point of
6:52 am
tightening. plus the dollar. joke about your wonderful skills. within the equity markets, there is a dilution that central bankers are holding it up. analystsy are saying, no. cash flow is legitimate. >> first of all, obviously, the central bank had a finger in the pie. one of the things it that is crystal clear, if you have low interest rate and future earnings a new discount them at a lower rate, -- tom: are we going to take the cfa exams this weekend. tothe second thing, more your point, if you break down the performance of equity markets, there is an element of buying back shares. but there is an element of legitimate earnings in there. i certainly would not dispute that. talkingctivity we were about earlier -- globally terrible. what drives earnings growth?
6:53 am
productivity, more people employed. we have almost employed everyone and productivity is terrible. tom: bring up the downed chart. this is the most extraordinary u.s. market we have seen before. i'm going to call this the most unloved bull market ever. i look at the sustained fuel there. and house after house was at the minimum it is a low single-digit world. actuarially that does not work for our retirement plan. >> yeah. it is far worse than that. you can take that whole story one step further into bonds and look at all these european insurers that are gearing three for -- that are guaranteeing 3% growth. there are a lot of things going on that you not make sense. the equity market this high is another reflection of cheap money and what i call for naturalization of the system. the bull market has been on because money has been cheap. money is no longer as cheap as it was. that is the key there. g question.it
6:54 am
there is no way i'm letting you leave without asking you this question. everything you're told me tells me you think low rates is a problem. why? >> i think actually -- it is a 20 year story. w sincead rates too lo 1997. when america, the fed responded to global deflationary shocks with low rates domestically. they have been doing that for 20 years in my opinion. and they cause a lot of problems. they do not great quality productivity, proven global growth. what they do create is indebtedness. debt for one dollar of growth the cycle. you cannot do that forever. that is simple maths. vonnie: president obama wrote an op-ed saying that the rest of the world should expect to depend on the american consumer this time around. can we at all depend on the american sumer or is that not -- that american consumer? >> that is a terrific question because that is one of the optimist's great argument is we are now going to switch -- the
6:55 am
u.s. consumer. if i think of the u.s. consumer in comparison to the late 1990's. in the late 1990's, the u.s. consumer was deleveraging and wage inflation was good. today, it is deleveraging. productivity is terrible. i think it is unlikely. it is very interesting what we are seeing on this thanksgiving season. it looks to me as if it is coming out disappointing or in line with low expectations. the consumer is not spending. he's saving. 340than: iron ore output at million tons versus 340 previously. we are talking about $40 iron ore. they keep on pulling. tom: this goes back to clearing markets. what we've been waiting for eight years to clear markets. what are we waiting for? 0n balance sheet adjustment. balancece juice --
6:56 am
sheets are adjusting. you're talking about deleveraging. that is one of the reason why we are growing at low levels. it is going to continue. frankly, i think, glass half full, half empty. we havevironment where to do love her, growth is not going to be as high. - in which we have to delever. tom: this was a day of fabulous nced thoughts. a lot of fun. thank you so much. we will do this again. brendan greeley, we will do it again. an important interview with jack lew, the treasury secretary. look for that later today across all of bloomberg media. stay with us from london. bloomberg "surveillance" ♪
