to preserve a semblance of profitability for pension funds and the like. one, certainly, maybe two. the fed has learned, it has a window. financial markets are relatively calm. the dollar has depreciated. when the fed looks at whether to hike or not, it looks at the famous equation that ben bernanke set out. it is about benefits, costs, and risks. hikes are possible even after the jobs report came out on friday. a slowdown in hiring. joining us from minneapolis is jim, chief investment strategist where he helps oversee $350 billion in assets. if you look at where the markets and traders are pricing in the fed rate hike, i want you to show our viewers and bloomberg,
10:09 am
the probability of a hike, only 4% think there will be a hike in only 4% in june. 96% of those believe it will be for 25 basis points. the 4%, we're underestimating the fed? i think so. i think there will be a couple of hikes this year. that is predicated on a belief that the u.s. economy is probably growing, continuing to grow 2% throughout, notwithstanding up and down of the various reports that come out, and on the view that international data is picking up . they just showed the economic surprise index for europe, also climbing now in china and the emerging world and canada. a globale will see

pickup and that will force the fed's wages go up, too probably embark in more than one rate hike yet this year. betty: it is precisely the concerns about wages that people are saying -- if you look at the , the conditions index, a third month of declines. labor conditions in the u.s. producinge are still jobs. that is all still deteriorating. >> there is no way job creation will keep up at the same way it back by a lot of majors.
10:11 am
job full down at employment. necessarily mean it will not push up wages. another 3/10 gain. at the atlanta fed for wage numbers. payrolls showing acceleration. there is quite a bit of evidence , as companies that has seen profit margins come down quite dramatically here over the last year, if there is not a labor cost pressure, i think there is more than labor cost pressures going on. that might be evident forcing the hand and the bond issue anti-to raise bond yields as well.
10:12 am
mark: i have a chart that shows how wages picked up 2.5%. how many months until the fed rates hike it says one month. very small percentage probability, which shows depending on when you look at it. what about productivity? wages are picking up his where is the productivity? i am not just talking about the u.s. i am talking about closer to home. there is no evidence of it. >> there is not and that is a real issue. i'm not sure which way to come down. whereductivity is for test for real, we cannot boost productivity, if we get no productivity, we will run out of resources and it will cost and court costs and the need to raise rates will overwhelm the recovery.
10:13 am
i wonder if productivity is understated. quite a bit of evidence that it may be real wages have climbed steadily throughout the recovery. 8%hink they're up almost since the peak of the last recovery. a major increase in real wages. real way -- wage rates have moved very closely together. until the recovery or productivity heading south, i , by 1% or more than 1%, suggesting real growth might thatbe closer to 3% or 2%, is why we return, growth has been stronger than expected or estimated. it might explain also why sales have been pretty strong throughout, why we are still seeing the service sector do well.
10:14 am
if it is really not there, this will end prematurely. if we are under measure yet, the recovery could last a fair amount longer. mark: i have got to ask you about the upcoming u.k. referendum. on a global scale, we know it takes place around the time in the next fed meeting. the fed meets first and the referendum a short few days afterward. could the referendum the enough to really slay the fed in putting off a u.s. rate in june, if all the stars are aligned on the data that you have been talking about? >> i hope not. it is looking to say the fed needs to tighten. the reality is they need to move away from crisis pols is. we have not in an crisis in the united states for many years. we are still practicing unconventional, massively

stimulative monetary policy that do not fit with reality. raise rates and still have an easing monetary policy that would fit with concerns of grexit and other global growth. i hope they follow through with interest rates overall. justf my great feelers fears is we would return with a zero interest rate policy of a $4 trillion fed balance sheet. that would be a perception monetary policy symptom -- spin out, there is nothing they can do, a new recession without any help coming from anywhere. the fed needs to normalize policy and if they do that, confidence will build here overall. be a nightmare scenario. let's hope we do not get there. the chief investment strategist at wells capital management. we have got breaking news,
