2:08 pm
of a percent difference of that. lisa: i have got to think at a certain point is this just the fed looking for an excuse or reasons not to hike? it seems they are going to keep rates low. does this lead you to make the conclusion that it is a good time to be buying investment assetsredit, other u.s. that rely on rates to stay low? issue and we think that the global economy will be stronger has led us to have a risk on portfolio. we like high-yield and residential mortgages. we have a risk on portfolio. we think the market is too pessimistic about negative outcomes. lisa: i just want to point out if you take a look into my terminal i am looking at the chart that shows foreign denominatedn guilt

assets, it is the bank of england and it shows that they are not that concerned about a brexit. there does not seem to me so much of a concern but what is the risk that credit quality will deteriorate or we could see more bubble activity in the prolonged rate environment? guest: there is not much inflation and although rates have been low you really do not see growth in debt. u.s. debt to gdp peaked around 2010 and has been trending downward. do not worry about a debt bubble. and our multisector bond funds we like credit. we like credit and we like u.s. credit. given the fact we think the u.s.

2:19 pm
into it because it is so complicated and hard to understand the moving pieces. does this default accelerate anything or create more incentive to get things done with the creditors, with the government and puerto rico? >> with the government development bank with the money video, is -- there could be some if they do not make the full payment. they may feel the need to take action immediately if they are not getting paid in full this weekend or monday. but it is the july 1 that people are anticipating more of the major losses would happen if there is another default on july 1. billionhat is when $2 is due. combined puerto rico and the agencies that oh $2 billion. $800 million is obligation which

2:32 pm
by our 2400 journalists in more than 150 news bureaus around the world. back to. david: thank you. let's take a look at some of the biggest movers. the slumping dollar giving the first -- boost from everything from corn to sugar. sugar and cocoa futures also on the rise next to the dollar in supply concerns. prices making their third straight months of gains. 3% for the week. prices settling at $40.90. some asset classes have overtaken stocks. seeing the biggest monthly gain since december 2010. lisa: it was also a big day for oil and gas. with exxon and chevron taking a hit from the collapse in oil prices. for exxon they were able to help
2:33 pm
cushion the blow as profit topped estimates. chevron reported a loss that would double what wall street was expecting. this is like a tale of two cities. this will prompt chevron to accelerate any efforts to diversify? >> will my think about chevron they stated they were hoping for asset sales at five to $10 billion and that should help cash flow andof monetizing some of those non-core assets. performance today relative to chevron, you saw the strengthen the overall integrated structure. so the diversity of that feedstock slate maximize the downstream margins. that is what an integrated company has to do and that is why you have the upstream married with the chemical.
2:34 pm
david: we have a plan going forward. do not pay attention to this quarter. >> it will be a different and difficult stay of the course. is program, the ability to push through some projects and get them online. for chevron you have gorgon ramping up and so their plate is full. >> i think i read that this is the first time that they did not earn profit from their production and expiration endeavors. that it was entirely the chemicals. first of all to get that right? >> thinks of -- think about it. price realizations versus last year's quarter report and production did not move much. so you have two things working against you, not a lot of uplift and weak pricing overall.
2:35 pm
lisa: with the chemicals, what are the chemicals and how does it fit? if you take that feedstock, the crude and you crack those into all the various plastics. and so with that lower cost from your upstream, your feedstock, you are able to crack these chemicals and their platform is integrated quite nicely within the overall downstream business so you're are able to get those higher margins. it is a mix volume and margin issue going forward as well. lisa: they use the oil to produce other chemicals and because the oil was lower in cost they were it'll to more cheaply produced the chemicals and maximize their profit. >> to maximize the overall slate. here, at theg brent oil price in lieu and the world energy index, the price of
2:36 pm
oil is pushing up the values of these energy firms. >> if you think about the fundamentals you are still a million or million and a half' oversupply. this is about sentiment. the sentiment shift in the marketplace do we have not seen that play out in reality in the market. have some companies reported the trading gains trading against the price of flight. how did that factor in and all with exxon and chevron? >> these are two operating companies. speculation has always been a player in the energy markets for the most part. if you go back to the fundamentals you still have not seen that tightening in the balances and where up 65% from andlows, w ta -- the uti brent.
2:37 pm
david: maybe the smallest of the three we are talking about. there, --ins performance? >> it is comparable year-over-year and you do not have the upstream segment but you have reliance on the downstream in north america. exxon and chevron have a mobile -- a more downstream segment. downstream can offset some of the issues you have in respect to this. lisa: what kind of price projection do they give going forward? >> their view is that this is the time of lower for longer and this is a time where it is about stay the course, generate that cash flow, get rid of those non-core assets and hope for a better way 17 and 2018 where projects can come online and offer the push for a better tomorrow. david: this is a diversified

this is the first part of this exciting journey. lisa: i want to break in here but columbia lifted its key rate to 7% amid a 15 year high cpi. this is a big deal because they wasted from 6.5% to 7% at a time when there has been so many low rates everywhere else, it shows how desperately they would like to curb their inflation but would like to say, columbia lifted its key benchmark. turning back to my apologize for the interruption. with all of those developments that we already have seen in driverless cars, what is your biggest concern for me safety perspective and how are you addressing it? guest: i delete make sure we encourage innovation, do not stifle it with regulation but the balance is we have to make sure that it is safe when he gets on the roads. so that is why we have been talking to people and why we
