central bank is still on course. trade data disappoints, and the people's daily is warning of rising debt. david: welcome to "bloomberg ." here with jon ferro. amanda lang is joining us. welcome, amanda. amanda: it is great to be here. i did not bring my hat. the kentucky derby was quite a raise. we have a number of guests coming up. in a rare and exclusive interview, jim coulter will weigh in on how the private equity market is changing. bank of america, head of global economics, ethan harris, will talk about how friday's jobs report affects the rate

decision. and seth marion is here over worries about characterizing volatility. jon: let's get a check on the markets for you. futures positive, dow futures up 41 points. over in europe, after the --gest weekly drop since euro weakness, switching of the board, euro-dollar was on a five-day losing streak. 1.1389.in there at and then nymex crude, up two full percentage points. it is seen as a tussle between the news over the weekend, the new oil minister in saudi arabia, and what is happening in canada with the wildfires spreading over there. i want to go live to the city of london and get the latest with bloomberg's will kennedy. let's talk about the immediate
7:02 am
-- the spread of the wildfire, the reality that one million pounds of oil a day, production, has come off. how short-term is this? >> that is a very good question. at the moment, it is a million barrels. even if the fires calm down, which it looks like they are doing, it will be at least a week before they get back online. many thousands of workers have been forced to flee, and it is a question about how quickly they can get back. maybe overly optimistic. we always knew at some point that he would have to step down. i want to gauge with the market reaction would be off the back of this. but muddying the waters a little bit, what do we see out of saudi arabia? more of the same? the new guy has been at saudi aramco for years.
7:03 am
he knows the saudi oil industry inside out. i would not expect radical changes in the short term. however, he is very much aligned with the new policy of saudi arabia. mohammed binose to salman, who is driving policy. there's a reason to think that saudi arabia will change its policy. i think they are hawkish. they are willing to let oil prices level, and that may be bearish. the final question, as we spin forward into the june opec meeting, through the chances of an output freeze diminished somewhat? will: i think that was off the table as soon as -- i do not think there is the time needed building blocks in place. kennedy, thank you
7:04 am
very much. amanda? amanda: disappointing trade data sent shares in china sliding. let's go live to hong kong to get the very latest from enda curran. enda: good morning indeed. there was some tepid trade out of china this weekend, and there was not much in it for the bullish outlook. chinese economy stabilizing, but it is not really turning the corner. perhaps there is some weakness in demand as well which can be a concern. but on the import side of thing, we saw the old issue of trade invoices flare up again. we saw imports from hong kong rise almost 204%. economists that they are using fake trade invoices to get out of china and india hong kong because they are fade that they are afraid the
7:05 am
yuan will weekend. i think people are disappointed and concerned on the import side. amanda: we also have this theaordinary morning from people's daily from an authoritative person, a spokesman for the government, about that levels in china. what do you make of that? enda: this is quite a powerful message today. when you see this person turn up in the front page of the people's daily, we pay attention. the warning today is that china's economy cannot continue to depend on this drip of cheap credit and debt to keep things going. they will have to push through painful reforms that are needed to put the economy on a more broad footing. the markets are reacting by interpreting this interview today of saying perhaps the easy credit and the mega-stimulus will be eased off in the coming months, and the authorities will focus on the hard things like, the coal factories.
7:06 am
some of the hard reforms are on the way, and that is why people reacted the way they did. thanks so much, amanda. don't become upset, not yet, at least. that is even after the somewhat is appointing numbers we got on friday about jobs. that is what two or three influential economic advisers are advising us. did we asked too quickly? michael: there is a fascinating face-off between the fed and the bond market. the bond market has been saying there is little chance of a fed rate increase even though fed officials are saying do not count us out yet. we spoke to a couple of old veterans of the bond market who told us remember the old maxim, don't fight the fed. >> i am not sure that june is out. we have heard from bullard, from stanley fischer, from williams in san francisco, and they all seem to get it. they all seem to know that at
7:07 am
some point they should be raising interest rates in order to preserve some semblance of profitability for savers and insurance companies and the like. hikes, seeing one to two one certainly, maybe two. the fed has learned it has a window. financial markets, relatively calm. the dollar has depreciated. remember, when the fed looks at whether to hike a market, it looks at the famous equation that bernanke set out in 2010, about benefits, costs, and risks. michael: that is the same message that new york fed president bill dudley has given in an interview in "the new york times" this morning. will tell youan the same thing bill dudley does. if we continue along the same path, do not write off june. is the fed trying to keep their options open, or do they really think they may hike in june? michael: they want to
7:08 am
raise rates. they feel the mandate on employment, and now they are starting to see some inflation out there. 160,000ages rise, and jobs is enough to keep the unemployment rate still going down. if this continues, we will see more fed speak suggesting they are getting ready to move because they would like to get this out of the way. they would want to raise rates. the only thing that would keep them sideline, even if the numbers are good, is the possibility of a brexit mode in june. david: we will have an interesting six or seven weeks ahead of us. that is mike mckee. "surveillance" radio host. will or willthey not, i think the market has answered that question pretty loudly. matt: check out the world interest-rate probability count -- interest-rate probability calculator we have here. the probability of a rate hike .n june is only at about 8%
7:09 am
here in red, you can see the probability of a cut. here in blue is the prediction that we will stay the same, 89%. and in white you see the probability of a rate cut really has come down, especially after the jobs number. if you pull down on this yellow are come you can check the possibility of other meetings. the december meeting, that is when the market things there is the possibility of another rate cut. if you look at the morgan stanley index, and they have a custom index for this. you can check this out on your bloomberg. this is thethat average hourly earnings, and a lot of people are saying janet yellen is more concerned with what people are getting paid and the inflation there then she is with the headline number. that rose to 2.5%. it has been strong and continues
7:10 am
to stay fairly strong here. the morgan stanley index comes down now to only one month until the next rate hike. so that is weathering nexis calculating. amanda: time now for your first word news. here is vonnie quinn. vonnie: it is british prime minister david cameron's latest attempt to sway voters not to leave the european union. in a speech, he warned that it would affect the british economy of the country's edition. david cameron: i understand why many people are wrestling with the decision and why some people's heads and hearts are torn. and i understand and respect the views of those who think we should leave. even if i believe they are wrong and that leaving would inflict real damage on our country, it's economy, and its power in the world. vonnie: the british referendum on the e.u. is june 23. firefighters battling the wildfire in western canada may get a break. a cold front moving through the and may bring rain,

7:15 am
we are talking about the weekend's news out of saudi arabia. this is "bloomberg ." new oilabia putting a minister. the move is part of mohammed bin wider rebound. jason shanker joins us live from austin, texas. you have followed the oil markets for years. the chief guide used to be to listen to saudi arabia. that really meant listen to z al-naimi. >> there were stories that he was going to retire, that this might be his swan song. .t is not to bank surprising that at 80 years old there is now a replacement for him. al-falih is a solid choice.
7:16 am
amanda: is the expectation that he will keep on on the same track, keeping promotion levels -- keeping production levels where they are? >> i think some of the stories naimihe weekend were that has been sacked and that would be a change in policy. that ish is that remaining the same. --lso expect prince abdullah one of the sons of the king -- i expect him to also still be there. there is going to be a lot of continuity in terms of how the delegation is composed. so anyone who views this change of guard as price bullish can find themselves burned ahead of the next opec meeting. david: i wonder about the leadership. i wonder whether -- and i would
7:17 am
like your view on this -- is this really a message from the deputy crown prince that he is in charge, he is putting his people in place? >> i do not necessarily know about that. there have been a lot of different changes of minister. there was an unusual circumstance where it was quite tense between iran and saudi arabia and the iranian minister was replaced and they sent in the minister of's -- the minister of sports in order to be a temporary placeholder for the ministry of oil. that was quite precarious and sending a bit of -- that was quite precarious and it was sending a bit of a message for it i do not think that is what this is here. i think this is more continuity, and you can expect that the saudi stance is not going to yield or change in less there is a concerted agreement among all of the opec members at the meeting on june 2. jon: -- david: i want to bring in matt
7:18 am
miller. matt: my question is, will the new minister change policy? the oildecide that price action is more important than market share action? we know the saudis get 70% or 80% of their oil -- of the revenue from oil. this shows how other stocks move in relation to oil. this is a correlation chart that shows you that all of the other stocks, the other businesses in saudi arabia, are correlated 80% to the price of oil. there could be impress for them to move the price because it decides basically everything in saudi arabia. jon: i think you get ash david: you cannot see the chart, jason, but you get the point. fed, thest fall, the fdic, and the occ issued a warning on november 5 that was largely ignored by everyone which warned about the leverage and the oil and gas debt of the
7:19 am
united states. it reached almost 400% in a year, largely ignored by the market, and at that point we warned our clients that cash was going to be king, or access to credit will be king in the oil batch. arabia,s like saudi where you have saudi aramco and other select ones, will fare much better than ioc's simply because they have more cash or the ability to raise debt on a sovereign level. the ability to for saudi arabia to go out and raise debt on the markets or to do an ipo partially as saudi arabia is going to be something that could keep the going way longer than a smaller or medium-sized independent, which will be at risk of default, bankruptcy, and the like in the next couple of quarters because oil prices are low. the saudis are leveraging their position of strength, access to capital and credit. jon: a quick question to talk
7:20 am
about the opec meeting -- the al-naimi with opec was that he could strip out the political noise in the region. has it become more political? if the deputy crown prince can put a new oil minister in place without -- jason: i think there is always politics with these meetings. you have 13 different sovereign nations always being represented, other members of other nations, i would say at the last meeting it was particularly tense. there have been a number of intense meetings. -- that set a political statement. i will be curious to see what their attire is during the in june in vienna. it is the first time i have seen

7:26 am
plagued this company is overcapacity. i have sat down with the ceo several times, and it is his comments on negative interest rates, the idea that negative interest rates are deflationary because it carries on promoting capacity. the companies that should have shut down, that should have gone on with others for consolidation are not because of negative interest rates. i think that is an important discussion. david: the misallocation of capital we have been talking about. amanda: he started complaining. he was a cap -- he was an opportunist. david: the question we're coming back to throughout the show -- is the fed on course to raise interest rates in june? it is the most read story on the bloomberg this morning. ♪

america and goldman sachs throw in the towel on the june rate hike. muddying the waters is bill gross of janus capital. take a listen to what he had to say. >> i think they should raise rates in order to give savers tha a break at the bank and the money markets. at the same time, the fed probably has to support the arket -- that is the long bond market. this has to be a slow and delicate process if they are going to raise rates and there cannot be a lot of volatility . i think qe has to come back at some point only to provide funds for fiscal spending. jonathan: joining us to weigh in on this is tom keene straight off the radio. tom: you nailed it with the goldman sachs call right after they throw in the towel and say we do not know where we are. confusion is the right word. it is baffling the polarity of what we saw with the dynamics of
7:33 am
nonfarm payrolls versus good hourly and wage growth. everyone is confused. jonathan: he told me we would have a three-month average of around 200 k, going into a june meeting could tom. tom: what are you waiting for? jonathan: are we waiting until june for a rate hike? tom: where the fed is is up here and meeting after meeting, the market walked further and further away from what smart people think is going to happen. jonathan: that spread has been there for a number of years now could guess what? that spread his recommends from the top down and the market is right in the fed is wrong. tom: the other i interesting thing is that we are set up where all this analysis and punditry gets hit by shocks. in the distance is june 15 and you wonder what the shocks are
7:34 am
going to be. jonathan: you wrap this up in a beautiful quote. tom: it is the quality of wage growth. this arch back to idea that you hear from alan krueger of princeton university. do we work within a blended american economy or are there to america's out there right now? havebility distributions 5000-1 underdogs like leicester city have a 50% chance of winning everything thousand 500 years -- everything thousand 500 years. years.y 3500 so listen to traders -- fat tails. leicester city were put together at a cost of 57 million pounds. manchester united paid more for one player. jonathan: what i find fascinating about this is we're talking about implied probability and the chances of something happening. discuss is the
7:35 am
implied probability actually determines the probability. at 8%, the fed won't move. tom: implied probability an actual probability goes back to the ex post anti-analysis. everyone agrees that there is over communication. there is maybe now communication, but the foundational point away from the media power game is john williams of san francisco last week to kathleen hays. we are going to wait and see what the data is talk to me june 13. jonathan: we have the dog of the fed and the tail is the market . right now, the tail is wagging the dog. tom: i don't agree with that. i think the idea that the fed will wait and see what the data is with some economists adjusting mabel go i -- suggestg they will go in june. i love the idea that we need
7:36 am
higher interest rates to boost savings. the single most interesting thing this morning was and nielsen of denmark talking about his denmark. he had an authority about it. this is not normal, totally confused. i go back to the idea of a fed in all due spirit desperately trying to get to normal. they will determine that the second week of june. jonathan: eric nielsen, the eternal optimist. tom: are we done? jonathan: thank you very much, tom. david: i want to bring in deutsche bank's chief economist. some negative numbers. the gdp numbers were fairly weak. they were low on the total numbers. although tom just pointed out that none of the wage hours worked. is the fed too pessimistic about the economy or are the markets to pessimistic about what the fed thinks? >> the numbers on friday suggest
7:37 am
that when the economy gets the full employment like janet yellen says, we should expect to see employment growth slow and we should also expect more bargaining power and wages going up here that they question i've been getting is are we getting to that inflection point when inflation will start to rise. david: does that put june back on the table? torsten: one read is that they want to keep june open. when they keep the door open, that's an option for them saying, the data is great. if so, we will move. it is clear they want to move rather than later. amanda: they are driven to watch specific thinks, but they must do watching june 23 and it possible brexit. does that keep the fed on the sidelines? torsten: there are many considerations, but it is inflation and unemployment that matters. thatebate of framework
7:38 am
inflation and unemployment are drivers of what they do. i do think that at the end of the day, if the economic data is good enough, they will not hold back. david: the markets are impatient. they want to go one direction or the other and we are waiting. we had charles evans speak this morning from europe. take a listen to what he had to say. >> the continuation of wait-and-see monetary policy responses appropriate and will ensure that economic growth continues, the labor market to strengthen further, the wages increase more, and all this supports a potential increase of currently low-inflation back to up around 2%. david: maybe that's the right answer. torsten: i agree. a is traditionally been dovish member and now he is saying, guys, you're too pessimistic . maybe it's time that the fed might be right. annda: tom keene made
7:39 am
interesting point on the quality of which growth. torsten: that's also a good point. the one interesting thing is that mainly it has been jobs with people with skills and high wages have been broadening out. we have seen more retail sector jobs. that is not particularly high productive and high wage jobs, but it's good news that the recovery is broadening out to affect people than just the high skilled group. david: what is this about the sense of more people coming online? have we taken up this excess capacity? torsten: the chicago fed said that one of the numbers to keep the on employment rate constant is 85,000 nonfarm payrolls. if we go below 80,000, then we really have a problem. 160,000 is well above. it is getting closer down to where we should be, but i would still say that we are moving closer to full capacity. that is from the fed perspective the most important point. amanda: this level of
7:40 am
uncertainty is unusual. is the fed mismanaging the root to hire? are they doing it for job of communicating the trajectory? torsten: they've been way too optimistic for several years, basically since 2010. they said that growth is coming and it did not arrive to now the markets are saying i made money that it's not arriving, so why now? amanda: it is interesting to see bill gross calling for a hike when he has made the wrong call for a long time. fedten: that is why the folks are somewhat frustrating that markets are not listening because they really do feel that it's coming now. we're getting close to full employment. there's an interview yesterday that said do not put too much weight on that because we are getting closer to the point where we need to move. david: we are going to keep this conversation going by turning to china next with the chief economist at deutsche bank. ♪

7:45 am
what is the message he is sending clearly to the fed? torsten: what he is tried to tell us is that it is good if the fed gets going because this will be proof that central banks are actually affected in solving these problems that we have had. inre's a lot of skepticism europe and japan about monetary policy is working at all. amanda: is there any danger that if the fed gets out in front of their own inflation target that it creates the opposite and it creates concern worldwide that it is not working? torsten: if the fed hikes rates and the u.s. start to go down and it's not going to work at all, you can have some real fears. if the fed is confident this is working, then i do think there could be a consequence from lifting rates. david: one of the things that we have been fixated here is our job situation in the united states. how do we compare in th europe? torsten: in your area, it's
7:46 am
around 10%. the most important thing is that if trends are going down, we are moving the right direction. the question from a macro perspective is who is response will for moving it down? will it be fiscal policies are structural policies? where does the burden of proof here lie? it is clear that in both areas, the unemployment rate is moving down although slowly. david: are we at full employment in the united states? torsten: many are saying that we are near full employment. there are many who suggest we have to get to full employment and price stability. at that point, it will be a real indicator. may be in the u.s., but not quite at all in the euro area. jonathan: do you think we are in full employment in the u.s. or close to it, but why was the communication out of the fat that this was a positive thing? why does this change so much?

torsten: in january and february, you had a lot of turbulence. was january or february a one-time event or could it be that every time the fed hikes rate, we cannot hike rate further because the markets are taking this with? it's a very important debate where the volatility has seen this is a one unique situation or we will see more and more as heights go higher. david: you reported a fair amount of what is going on in china. tell us about that because i was surprised that the migration from rural to urban areas. torsten: one thing that is clear and this is what the data show this weekend is that china is slowly and gradually getting to a lower growth pattern, but this has to be a very managed process. hasdata over the weekend confirmed that the slimming down is continuing. there are fewer people coming
7:48 am
from rural areas to the urban areas. they're fewer people taking jobs and export factory because there are fewer jobs. this extremely statement basically from the chinese government about the need to reduce debt. what message are they helping the world will take from that? torsten: one read is that they are tried to tell us that they are indeed aware of the problems with that levels across the board from mainly the corporate sector. this is an attempt to try to tell the market and the imf and regulators everywhere that we do know that these things are important and we do know that we need to be with these things. the question is what can they do and can they do it quick enough because there's a lot of skepticism in markets? matt: let me jump in and pull it back to a big macro look here. g-8ve a chart showing consumer prices and the global bond market here. come down, prices obviously the central banks are
7:49 am
looking to spur growth. here you can see we are basically at an all-time low for global rates. willat point or stopping it stop the world's borrowers from going on cheap rates and driving the blue line up, taking advantage of the white line? torsten: i think many traders have that chart hanging on their wall, saying it has gone down for so many years. it starts in 2006 and there's one big downtrend. why should we believe we come to one point where the rates will go higher? it is certainly very legitimate to be worried about whether this will actually work or not. matt: if a trader does not have this chart hanging on their wall, you can access it with the bloomberg terminal. you can pull this chart up and printed out large and hanging up on your wall. amanda: where do you think the fed goes? torsten: we think it will hike
7:50 am
in june for the first time. if there's more more wage pressure and the dollar is falling, that will put pressure on inflation. if those two trends are moving higher, then it could make a real difficult situation for the fed as we go not only in june, but july and sitomer. amanda: thank you, torsten slok. japan's monetary supply is close to overtaking that of the united states, leaving some investors saying that this may lead to a weaker yen. is coming next on off the charts. a programming note -- bloomberg west goes east. especial series focusing on tech innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit of boston. joining us at six clock p.m. in new york or three clock p.m. in san francisco live from boston. ♪

8:04 am
will nothe fed overreact to this the way that markets did earlier. jonathan: matt miller with breaking news on value pharmaceuticals. matt: they will file its 10-q on or before june 10. the company is reaffirming its first-quarter view. this quarterly filing as far as the sec is concerned as well as canadian regulators will be on a timely basis, but most importantly, it is reiterating its full guidance. valeant the last time came out with a delayed filing that it throughout basically everything in the kitchen sink, trying to clear the decks for its new ceo to run the company. the markets at first were concerned and then relieved. are seeing that valiant is reaffirming its view for the quarter and for the full year. the shares are up 4%. jonathan: at the moment, i'm not sure who has the hardest job -- valeant analyst or those
8:05 am
following the fed. what i find really remarkable is that the implied probability actually shapes the outcome. if there's no need to move, they won't move. anastasia: although i do not think you will move in june, the markets can move in advance of that. you have a real real tail sales number on friday. you have a bunch of said speakers coming out this month. that is what can move the market. the probability was at 2% at one point on friday and is now moved up to six. a can now move -- economic higher if the fed does not move in june. jonathan: which would play into the fed's hand. amanda: is that not a move that compliant five? by? anastasia: it's not logical to completely rule out a set rate hike in june.
8:06 am
it is also not logical to assign something like a 40% chance of a rate hike this year at all. i think the fed is trying to dislodge some of that complacency and we will see more that this month. david: where are we on inflation? we do not talk about it very often, but we are at 2.5% and was wage increases in these numbers. where these expectations because that may inform the fed? anastasia: it is also the realized inflation that we have. they have started to creep back up. we have reached the low of 1.22%. we are now higher on a 10 year inflation break to about 1.5%, maybe somewhat higher. that helps, but having said that, what the fed is really lacking right now is momentum. the fed is really lacking economic data that would improve a lot. what you are having is a failure to launch and a lot of the economic data. inflation is being one of them. 2.5% wage increase does
8:07 am
certainly help. jonathan: don't we have to keep the wage inflation the context of real inflation? amanda: wages are going up and that's a positive sign, but on a real basis we have seen food prices high and rent prices move up. from a real consumer standpoint, are we just moving up? anastasia: the fed tends to be quite concerned with inflation because it's the biggest component of cpi and it's also one that could potentially hurt the corporate bottom line the most fear, which is kind of a predicament. the fed wants to see it, but copies may not want to see it. jonathan: just a question on the treasury market. some of it is not positioned at two years at 72 basis points, but where do you think the treasury market should be based on the data coming out of the economy and does that mean that where yields should be based on? if i look at the global economy right now and the chart that matt miller brought up, there is reason that the 10 years are pinned down to the floor. anastasia: two different things
8:08 am
-- the two-year should be following the fed rate hike expectations very closely. 25 extra basis points, you should expect roughly that at the end of the curve. the long end of the curve has been a totally different story. what matters there are a few things. the stock that the long-term bonds that the fed controls, which is still a sizable amount, and how much the foreign central banks are buying, which is a sizable amount. the reality is that it is not a myth it is actually a true fact. investors are coming back to the united states and buying up the u.s. treasury market not on the short end but the long and. david: anastasia will be staying with us to talk about oil, another big story today. right now, let's go over to bloomberg first word news with vonnie quinn. vonnie: greece's international creditors will look at whether the country has done enough tightening to get more emergency loans. the greek parliament

not the kind of thing you want to see when invested in a stock. jonathan: what a stock story. crude -- what a session it has been already. a tussle between wildfires in canada cutting oilsands production by an estimated 40%. that's about one million barrels a day. pushing prices above $45 a barrel. the other side of the trade is saudi arabia getting a new oil minister. to break this down is anastasia still with us and we turn to our resident crude expert the chief management correspondent in london. you managed to notice the writing on the wall after doha. the big question for the market is whether anything has changed in terms of policy coming out of saudi arabia. has it? >> if anything is going to change, it is going to be more various policy. he was the architect of the
8:15 am
agreement of opec to abandon the support of oil on highway prices and go for market shares. i think his successor is probably very similar, but the rhetoric is going to be even more bearish because he is very aligned with the deputy crown prince of saudi arabia. father and sonth have said that what saudi arabia needs to do is protect its orket share by not freezing reducing production unless other big producers agree to do so. i think we are going to see very high saudi oil production going forward. iran is also coming back to the market in a very big way. david: as you suggest, going to ha discussion, you thought they would be softer on the iran issue, but it was pulled back by the deputy crown prince. what does this tell you about the possibility of a deal coming out of opec?
8:16 am
javier: we will not have a deal from opec. the deputy crown prince has been adamant that he does not care about high oil prices. he wants supply and demand to price and hee wants supply to remain very high. in three weeks in vienna, we will not have any agreement to restrict production. david: matt miller, do you want to jump in? matt: i do want to jump in. we have got a red headline across the terminal. it is of great interest to me and maybe a couple of you as well. krispy kreme is going to be ab beach forjob $24 a share in cash. taking up this doughnut maker that has fallen on hard times and unfortunately has only one location in new york city. how can you expect real growth when you're only store in new

8:18 am
things, it's a pretty small deal, but everyone knows and united states or in europe or emerging markets, you will see a bigger push toward clean energy, the lithium batteries. it is not surprising they did this. they made an acquisition 2011 for a company called some power, one of the biggest energy companies out there. this is not the first time we have seen total make a move like this. it's a good time to move because missing energy prices move down. amanda: we have seen them pushing to renewables, but do we expect that to be a place of real support for renewables? jeff: it is. in the energy space, we're not seen a lot of deals there. 2015 was a slow year. oil and gas really was not. jonathan: it was the news that was not the news. it was the fact that we do not have the big deals that we thought we would get an energy sector, . do you think that will change
8:19 am
this year? anastasia: i think it will be the impetus because we do not have a pipeline for big deals. a lot of producers were fully hedged. why sell the aspects if you can afford to wait it out because you have those hedges in place? that is no longer the case this year. a lot of those hedges have run off and i think companies are not necessarily a lot more willing but they are a lot more cash-strapped. they do have to look at some m&a activity. david: thus far, the oil deals have been going the other way. energy deals being undone rather than done. halliburton. jeff: another one bites the dust perhaps. the arbitrage spread since april has doubled. basically the market expects the deal to fall apart. both of them could walk away and that's how it looks right now. the value of both companies has fallen by half with oil prices falling.
8:20 am
they are arguing in court over breaches and saying each side has breached the agreement. they fired the cfo over at energy transfer. it looks like a deal that is going to hit the curb and die. if part of this unwillingness to go through with the deals is the recent ramp-up in oil prices. oil prices are not at $26 but at $45. maybe i would wait a little longer. anastasia: it has to do with the rates of the ceo of merck is complaining about that companies that might've been looking to pair up will actually go it alone. jeff: i just don't know. they're supposed to be $60 billion in cash initially, but if we could do an all stock deal, we could more than likely do a deal that is all stock. the $60 billion in cash, more certainty up front, but it looks at this will

8:33 am
degree is willing to forgive some inflation here. we wrote a piece called opportunistic reflation this past week. after having inflation so low for so long and people beginning to doubt whether the fed can achieve the 2% target, there is strong incentive for the fed to really hit 2% if not higher. the fed is also very worried about sitting around with all these other central banks. the best way to why some space buy somee space -- space is hike interest rates to a higher level. fed has been suggesting that they are not going to react very quick weight to an inflation acceleration. they will let it run higher for a while. matt: what do you think about the theory that keeping us at
8:34 am
ratesr negative interest isn't helping spur any growth? do you think it would be helpful to get back up to a more normal level? >> i don't buy that argument. that's putting the cart before the horse. in order to achieve 2% growth the fed had to pump liquidity and pump up the markets with aggressive monetary policy. if the economy picks up and then the fed hikes that's great. but i don't think by raising rates they can somehow tell everyone everything is fine. it has to come off of strong data and it has to reinforce confidence in the economy. if they hike without the improvement in growth, they look

hillary clinton and barack obama and john mccain and mitt romney are in that mainstream. that is where the weight of our political class should be rather than these extremist polls on the left and right. david: thank you for getting up early in palo alto. thanks for being with us, ambassador burns. jason kelly sat down with jim coulter. of tpg capital. >> the industry has grown up. it became incredibly more complex. almost 30 years ago we spent all of our time with investors talking about why private and witty. no one is arguing anymore about whether they should be in the industry. that's how much and how to do

it. it has become much more complex. do they want to do buyouts, credit. there is a much more robust set of discussions about the relationship aspect. , it was a veryor different time five or six years ago. how has the opportunity set changed? years ago it was essentially a risk on time. we were coming out of the recession and investing at a rapid rate. think thehe cycle i markets have leveled out. we are in a stock pickers market. you have to find disruptions and interesting companies and really choose where to invest. i think that is something that resonated with our investors. in terms of the type of companies you have invested in
8:44 am
lately. e likes of uber, airbnb. true growth stories. have you learned and how do you implement that strategy as you look at a broader buyout type portfolio flacco >> investing is not about market share. it is about inside. we have an environment where economic growth may be flattening of it. where is the change in the economy where we can get extraordinary growth. when interest rates are low, discount rates imply that growth is worth a lot. we have been trying to sort through those to create the value suggested by growth. we sent in san francisco. as the economy has moved from a tech-based economy about, could you come up with the best search

8:46 am
ways but there is still a place for active management. it is growing and healthy in the area of alternatives. it's hard to define sometimes exactly what i do for a living. i invest. people have sometimes called it buyouts. we have moved from buyouts to private equity to alternatives. our job is really pretty simple. it is not to define ourselves as anyone type of transaction. cutting edge opportunities in the marketplace and bring those back to our investors. doing thatwe keep there's a place for our type of investing. >> if you look at your competitive set broadly diversified -- carlyle, blackstone. publicly traded across lots of different types of alternatives. how do you fit into that definition?
8:47 am
>> we have never defined ourselves by how large we are. i think that is a fallacy of the marketplace. it is how you differentiate yourself from the market. we define ourselves as being large enough to address opportunities around asset classes arnd the world but small enough to make sure we can find ways to differentiate ourselves in areas that are not as accessible if you are going for size. we compete against excellent firms. they have earned their place in the market. theant to be different from leaders in what we do. >> you have remained privately held. many of those other names are publicly traded. that question would come. i have consistently answered that for eight or nine years now. time where it a makes sense for us.
8:48 am
it is not that moment today. we wereeen rumored that going public for eight or nine years and am sure that rumor will persist. >> the buyout bust. a lot of huge deals were done that we may not see the likes of again. what are the lessons you take from deals like that? >> there are extraordinary industryearned by the in that timeframe and we see them playing out now. one of the less is late in the cycle after you and your extended success there tends to you have been through a period of extended success there tends to be lots of -- our fund this time is smaller as a direct learning from what happened before. sure you do make not lean into the marketplace
8:49 am
late in the cycle. in generalthing is large deals tend to happen late in the cycle so be careful on the larger deals in the marketplace. some are attractive but in general any one firm should not be overweight in large deals. david: that was tpg capital's jim coulter. jason kelly joins us now. terrific interview. he said we do not define ourselves by helping we are which is convenient when they are not getting bigger and the competition is getting a lot bigger. is he kidding himself? take's a very interesting on what's happening in private equity because you have seen a radical shift at this time. the last time they raised money was 2008. they were doing the biggest of the big deals and others that didn't go so well. they have shifted much more toward growth equity. and in some of the names that we all know.
8:50 am
spotify and, others. that is a different flavor of private equity. a different playbook from what we are seeing from blackstone and kkr and carlisle. at thatit seems we are stage of the cycle where private equity is selling to private equity. do you see that? it is something -- the notion of you have to behave differently in the latter part of the cycle, especially with all the money coming in from investors. .here is some worry are you doing the right deals and what is the exit? is the ipo market something that is viable? jonathan: when are these guys going to liquidate? we've and waiting a long time to
8:51 am
see one of these tech beasts go public. >> the ipo market has not been friendly. unicorns are looking for the big unicorn to go public whether it is uber or airbnb to pave the way. because private equity investors only get paid when a company gets liquidated in some way or another. hard to see anything other than an ipo for a company the size of uber. david: thank you for being with us, jason kelly. jonathan: coming up, what is up with chinese imports from hong kong? we take a closer look in battle of the charts. that's next. ♪

it is a significant change in the oil policy. matt: looking at contracts going forward. the third month out ahead of the second month out, it is trading for more although that spread has come down. what do you think about futures pricing in oil contracts? >> i think that is a clear indication of a market that is beginning to tighten. it is very closely watched by the market peaking around $12 in february. things have come down to less than three dollars today. to tightening is about happen. at some point in the next couple of months maybe the markets will reach supply and demand. we will have to go through a lot of inventories over the next coming months.
