7:01 am
why he is endorsing donald trump for president in another exclusive you will see only on bloomberg tv. jonathan: a brilliant morning of conversation. let's check in with our bloomberg team for in-depth coverage of the stories. the one minute plunge and chinese stocks, and a look at the job report. vw still being hit by e-mail and cheating scandals. let's begin in frankfurt, paul gordon joins us. in-line but still not great for president draghi. paul: inflation just below zero, employment just above 10%, a flight improvement and reason for the ecb to say the stimulus
7:02 am
is starting to work at a long way to go. where did the inflation come from? it has never really come from industrial goods, it used to come from energy and that may return briefly but it is hard to see that sustained. services inflation is where the ecb needs to see prices increasing and that is a stretch at this moment. jonathan: if you are looking for a company that probably does not need to wait is germany. -- qe is germany. hand, they are likely to provide their inflation projection a little bit higher but he does not want to strike too much of an optimistic tone? paul: inflation projections may be revised a little higher or unchanged but the last four revisions have all been down so that is the first good news of the year for the ecb. there will be a writer --
7:03 am
reiteration that the ecb needs time to feed through. there was a discussion at last meeting that monetary policy will buy time that cannot solve governments and if do not use this time to push through structural reforms there could be trouble ahead. jonathan: a busy week for paul gordon from frankfurt, thank you very much. think muchou do not can happen in a minute, think again. it's good life to hong kong. what happened with the market today? markete chinese futures in the 10:00 hour plunged 10% in about a minute and snapped right back up to where it had been. a bit of a flash crash. chinese stocks and up closing higher on the day. does this raise some basic questions on the markets and how they are functioning?
7:04 am
was a fat finger trade rather than anything more structural from what we have heard. the market was up about three and a half percent, the biggest gain in about three months. there seems to be growing sentiment that the msci will include china and its emerging market estimates. friday's jobs report is seen as key as why the fed will raise rates in june. michael mckee, what are we going to be looking for on friday? fedael: the key to the might break off in the lock. if you are not on your company's payroll on the 12th of the month, you are not counted. 31,500 verizon employees were off the payrolls during the month of may. take a look at a chart i brought along that shows the number of
7:05 am
strikers. we have not seen this many since 2011 in august when verizon was on strike. look at what happened to job creation that month, 117,000 jobs created in july, zero that august. we could have the same sort of jazz performance and it could also hit hours worked an average hourly earnings. hike and she wants to given the comments she made last week, what do we think they are really going to be looking for underlying? michael: they are focused on prices and wages. they do want to see wages go higher and they will adjust for the number on friday but they will be looking at today's number on pce prices to try to figure out if it is matching what we saw in the cpi, if prices are actually rising at a faster rate, and also look at
7:06 am
iso numbers to see how they are doing, a big week of data. the omissions cheating scandal continues to take a toll on vw. let's get the very latest from matt miller. i came out today. what have we learned? matt: earnings were quite positive. 3.4 4 billion euros in operating earnings. even if you strip those out, they had 3.1 billion so counting estimates. the problem is the volkswagen brand itself. the world's largest carmaker in the first quarter, but the main unit hadnd's profit dropping to about 80 billion euros from about 500 20 billion euros so that is where the real destruction has come because of the diesel scandal. david: what are the analysts saying about the vw stock?
7:07 am
you take a look at anr go, over the last month 10 analysts have raised their rating on this stock to a buy. a number of analysts have cell thattings to a not nearly that many, about 2-1. you are putting a price target of 144 euros which is not so much above where it is trading right now but the drop we saw today after the earnings report only brings you back to last tuesday's price. it looked like investors were running the price up and taking profits today. david: matt miller joining us from berlin. two words, event risk will dominate the week ahead. and opec decision and meeting thursday and friday and the payrolls report. if you are looking for price action, look no further than china. the equities market higher by

7:14 am
kind of a disconnect between the equity market mainland and some of the bearish speculative activity happening offshore. doug: the chinese economy is really what is important for everybody and while it is still growing at a fairly strong rate, it has slowed down quite substantially and i think the slowdown has to be looked at not in real terms that in nominal terms. the real growth numbers and expectations but also the adjusted numbers. when we add those together we have a slowdown in real and inflation, and nominal slowdown is the most important. combined with that nominal slowdown with large amount of debt outstanding, it is not an excellent picture for investing. jonathan: the big question is what is going to stop the fed. if you look at what is happening in china, dollar yuan climbing back to highs for the year.
7:15 am
not a concern for investors as it seems for now. doug: i think the chinese have made it clear they are not looking at the chinese u.s. dollar trade sales rate. they are looking at it on a trade weighted basis and it is doing about what you would expect it to do, given the fact that the dollar has caught a bit again because the market is expecting the fed to increase interest rates. megan: how much are you still counting in brexit and near scenarios? -- in your scenarios? doug: the polling looks like they are going to remain. the day, the british economy is only about 2% somethingdp so is horrible happens to the british economy, unless there is tremendous spillover effects it should be relatively contained. what does everybody think about the eurozone as a whole if one
7:16 am
of their members decides to leave, that is the key question, and we do not know the answer. janet yellen,are do you pay more attention to china as you make your rate hike decision or europe? which figures larger? you: isn't it strange that are asking me the question of whether the u.s. fed is going to pay more attention to china or the europe -- or europe? i do not think that is particularly healthy and i think she should pay the most attention to the u.s. economy as if they were the right policies for the united states, they will be right for the rest of the world. i think it is a gradual normalization of interest rate. megan: do you think june is a real possibility? doug: the market only has it as about a 30% probability and i would say it is a little bit
7:17 am
higher. the key money was made when there was only a 4% probability. 34% or wherever we are now, and i'm thinking it may be closer to 50, that is not quite the same odds that i like when it is so heavily weighted toward one side. jonathan: what really interests me is about a month ago we would've had to discussion that went something like this, the fed is not going to do anything to the rest of the year. now we talk about what stops them, a radical change in the conversation in less than a month here at what do you make of the rate of change of the market sentiment? doug: i think the fed is to blame for some of that. i think what the fed should be doing and hopefully will be doing is to run the correct policy for the united states and the markets will react to that correct policy. jonathan: doug peebles will be
7:18 am
7:20 am
david: this is bloomberg , i'm david westin. the fed's next move, when will its raise its rate? >> it is appropriate, and i have said this in the past, i think for the fed to gradually and cautiously increase our overnight interest rate over time, and probably in the coming months such a move would be appropriate. david: doug peebles still with us. you have interesting point of view. you are a cio for fixed income
7:21 am
and you say not all fixed income is -- not all fixed income is created equal. doug: there are those that are treasuries,ing -- german bunds, and those that are returned seeking. that investors are very wise to understand the difference of those. i often say that nobody needs bonds. some people need risk mitigating securities, some people need income, some people meme liquidity. -- need liquidity. let's figure out what do the clients need. do they need income, do they need stability, or liquidity? david: how much risk are you taking on when you go into risk seeking? doug: prior to july 2014 when a be believes the fed started tightening policy, because that is when they started doing the
7:22 am
qe. we have had a pretty large selloff in the high-yield and risk taking markets so in that space we are edging out the risk curve because we think the yields or spreads available of close to 600 basis points offer some pretty good opportunity in the space. mitigating side we are pulling back a little bit as we do believe the fed is going to increase interest rates. it is also important to go global because not only are we talking about when the fed raises interest rates or how much, outside the united states there is not a whole lot of rate abilityoing on so the to diversify your economic cycles is extremely important. jonathan: i wonder whether we need to rethink what you said, risk-taking versus risk mitigating. the question is whether big capital has been made this year.
7:23 am
if you take that risk that apparently is not one, you would get a big capital gain. do we need to rethink that? doug: the question is are we going to get more capital gains going forward? i think we have taken in the bulk of the capital gains. you bring it up japan and the superlong's. when we look at japan and our research on the japanese economy, they are pretty well divorced. the only thing that is really driving the movement and the jgb market is what is the bank of japan doing, are they buying or not buying, are they buying more? that is what is driving the price. megan: when you look at communication from the fed, where we at in the communication , our investor saying there is too much? is the fed doing an effective
7:24 am
job of communicating this move how much and when? trying think the fed is to the question is, are they succeeding? no doubt there is a greater degree of transparency. we joke about what greenspan used to say, if you think you understood what i said you probably made a mistake. pendulum wask the way over to one side and now the fed is trying to communicate what it is doing very clearly. the question is, are they succeeding? i would probably give them a be plus. --b+. for the right investor you are saying it is time to go into more risk. how much is that dependent on there is not going to be a significant downturn? doug: when we look at the u.s. economy we think the u.s.
7:25 am
economy is doing reasonably well. it is not gangbusters by any stretch of the imagination. i think a rate hike would be healthy for the u.s. economy. the notion that we currently have u.s. consumers with more money in bank deposits and money market funds them i have mortgages outstanding is telling us, and by the way, all of those mortgages are basically fixed right now. if we see an increase in the short end of the and investors who own a huge amount of that risking rate, the most free securities they could own, if they started getting some earnings on that maybe they would actually get a little bit more in terms of confidence and start to spend a little bit more. jonathan: low rates are the problem and not the solution? doug: i think it was the right solution to the problem that 2009, but i008 and
7:26 am
do not think we have that situation anymore. we still have a fed funds rate that is 25 basis points. depending on whatever measure you want to think about in terms of inflation, that is a real low nominal rate for an economy that probably has overall somewhere around 2% inflation. david: doug peebles, thank you very much for being with us. jonathan: friday's big number, a huge week for the u.s. economy caps off by the job report. what would give janet yellen the confidence to hike in june? ♪ get ready for the rio olympic games

before the storm? if you look at volatility, euro-dollar one-month volatility and compare it to three months, one-month trading at a premium to three months. that near-term risk seems to be dominating markets. tom: and you wonder what it is. there is a conflating of events. michael mckee mentioned jobs could be light because of the verizon strike. you just wonder within these events what will be the thing the market will latch onto. i will be direct and say my experiences looking at the head lines, there is nothing like a draghi press conference. jonathan: i would say the ecb on thursday is slightly more predictable than what is to come afterward edges the potential for rate hikes and then a week after that we have the referendum in the u.k.. what happens next? tom: where do you stand on

central bankers will amend or it just to the brexit vote? will they? jonathan: the fed has got a .eeting a week before i imagine they will be looking to gauge the polls. if the polls are narrow, are you really going to hike rates a week ahead? tom: just a look at what the markets are saying, and i noticed the two-year u.s. yield at 0.293 with a bit of higher yields in germany. certainly the tone going into the series of events is, can i say june or july? yields are supported. jonathan: i would see in the fx but in the options market we see something incredibly different. if you look at cable and pound volatility, it is sky high.

the red sox is friday's jobs report. economists forecasting a gain of 160,000 jobs with the unemployment rate holding steady at 5%. let's bring in carl riccadonna. it is going to be an interesting numbers. what are you going to be looking at most? potential verizon strike impact, they have been on strike several weeks that covered the payroll period, so we have to isolate that impact. in thethis slowdown economy headed into the first quarter. as we saw last week, a lot of economic data series weekend over that period. if that number showed some contagion from the economic sluggishness. last time were saying
7:37 am
we were discussing this we needed to see 200,000 to ease the market scares. 160,000 andoking at we have missed last month, what is a number do you think would cause alarm? lower, i thinkr there is some doubt. megan: would it cause the fed to think about not hiking in june? carl: the hurdle is very high in june so way payroll number that i think justifies fed action in to 25 orhink they need better. better and even under that scenario, i think they will get cold feet. manufacturing and nonmanufacturing are out this week and they have been struggling to hold above 50, especially in the case of manufacturing. there are two interpretations of the data this week.
7:38 am
if we see a slowdown in the x inike number and a perk up average hourly earnings or wage pressures, we can sit back and say we have reached full employment, the price of labor is going up so supply and demand tells you that demand for labor should justify a slower pace of hiring in that environment. if we do not see wage pressures and you still get a slowdown it lends credence to the argument that the economy is being bogged down. david: it is not just how many people are working but how much they are making. what would be a robust number on wage increases? carl: i would say in the 5% to 6% affinity after you adjust for inflation, that should justify the type of consumer spending's we need over the course of the next couple of months in order to keep in line with the fed's
7:39 am
target. we have had some upward revisions to household income, putting the consumers on slightly better footing for stronger performance. jonathan: the bloomberg economics supply -- surprise index, a 16 month high. quite a remarkable turnaround. what is that telling you at the moment? economists have been extremely pessimistic over the first quarter. there was concern about that impacted a but it lot of other economic indicators as well so maybe we are on course for 2% growth or better. i would argue, this is year seven of the economic cycle and every year we seem to clock in 2% growth so why should we expect anything different going forward? the game changer is the fact that we are pushing through full
7:40 am
employment meaning more wage pressure and definitely on the back half of this year. the wage pressure give consumers the tailwind meeting we start to break out of this 2% band. megan: carl riccadonna, always fascinating. david: another big name in business endorses donald trump. capital founder tom there explains why he is backing trump. ♪

7:45 am
outside of santa barbara on friday, and we had a wide-ranging conversation. here is him telling me what he sees in donald trump, and you see the conversation progresses to this apparent standoff between trump and the rest of the republican party. the midst of the most complicated negotiations, the most difficult consensus, the. have, just asot an individual, these are not political in taking all of these political points of view. he is practical. what he will do is get it done. whatever the right thing is, he will surround himself with the smartest and best people and get it done. can his opponents do the same thing? sure. it is supporting athletes in the field and saying, i know a little bit about a side that

right, there is no benefit for .im up until now donald still is not the candidate, until he is at the convention and accepts it, he is not the candidate. erik: so paul ryan is right to take the standoffish approach? do the same thing because yes to worry about what is right for him and the constituency, and that is a trade in a negotiation. erik: but the candidate you support it offended by the fact that paul ryan does not want to get behind him. tom: he is not offended by anything. he is setting a negotiating posture and i promise you soon they will be bound at the hip and they will have made a deal, that things are important for paul ryan to have is part of the program and platform for the republican party. dogsare just like two big walking in a doggie park, they
7:49 am
are getting ready to have a serious conversation. erik: that is tom barrack talking about his support for donald trump. he does not strike you as the stereotypical donald trump supporter. david: that interview perfectly illustrated something i cannot quite figure out. successful business people to want predictability and certainty. they're willing to go with donald trump because he is not certain and he is not predictable. why are they willing to take what is behind door number two when they do not know what it is? erik: i think barrick admires trump's pragmatism. he is a deal maker and barrick has seen that firsthand in real estate transactions dating all the way back to the 1980's.
7:50 am
it is interesting to see is not anho extremist, who is not angry, who is not left behind, who is not a all ofsupports trump for these other reasons that other people do not see. how personal this connection seems. his trump missing a trick by not getting more friends and business people that know him as a man, no his relationship with his children, how he is still with his family. that interview was quite revealing of trump's personality. should he be doing more of that? erik: i suspect he is doing some of that behind the scenes but you have to believe there are more people like tom barrack out there that have dealt with him over the years and fined him to be a far more agreeable sort than most of us might see based on his public persona and the

overexposure as opposed to non-risk assets and focus on yield. that means looking unconventionally for yield. david: if you are looking for risk, what about emerging-market equities? they need to be selective. what we typically see is the emerging-market equity severed. a tightening cycle could create value opportunities in the world. megan: let's talk about where you see technology going. thought there was momentum there , one sector they might look at closely. we expect to see revenue growth coming. we're also seeing key drivers right now.

us through the fundamentals. >> global demand has gone up 10 million barrels per day every 10 years. what we're looking at is that for the next two or three years, we will see significantly more than that. some estimates are for as much as 1.5 million barrels per day increase and another 1.5 million barrels per day increase in demand. that is not 10 million barrels, but 15 million barrels per day of added demand over the next decade. we are running into a production that is rolling off, here in the united states specifically to -- dropslso see rocks including russia and iran and iraq and nigeria. ,ertainly including venezuela and those kinds of losses do not develop the barrels that will be needed as this demand continues

to hit over the next four or five years. that is where i get my predictions on where price will go. david: some of that could be brought back online much more than years past. technology is definitely there and the efficiency and shale has on up almost 100%. it is an incredible gain in possible barrels per well that you could get out of u.s. shale. what has died is capital structure. the free debt available to all of the shale players, the high-yield bond market that tose players depended upon generate fresh wells and fresh oil, it is now gone. the high-yield market has collapsed. with it, a lot of the bond players have decided they will not lend any more money on upstart shale companies. despite the fact that efficiencies have done so well, $90 peroil reaches

barrel, the debt, the credit will not be there for these companies to reach up the production. that: can anything stop regression of pricing in your mind? china, or a were slowdown? >> that is the one thing that could but if you take a recession or global recession off the table, i do not see anything that stops the gentry of oil over the next years. in 2008, thed it same general kind of pattern. oil, if you follow it for as many decades as i have, you seem -- see's cycles come. this one is no different. investors need to be a little more forward-looking on where oil prices go and that should rectory of it in the next several years and position themselves now. function to get a forecast on brent and wti, here is the consensus total for your

8:38 am
it is a lower-cost alternative overtime to expanding public transportation options. i think policymakers will have the opportunity to influence how share mobility is being used and harness the benefits of that via a number of reasons, one in particular being new and more efficient and fair options. will this happen? how soon is this? >> it is hard to pinpoint exactly based on the work of our autos team, we think it will become a major source of road usage in the next five to 15 years. we think along that timeline because cities in particular are a good improving ground for autonomous technology and share mobility in particular. we think those things grow coincidently. david: are there some cities
8:39 am
adopting this that are ahead of the curve in your view? not yet. i think that is probably in the not-too-distant future as the department of transportation is actually taking up competition for cities to become a transportation future hub and looking for grants. in this reportne is we tried to score different metropolitan areas based on where the greatest opportunity for usage of existing share mobility and autonomous technology would be and what the greatest potential cost savings would be. all the metrics we put into it, we think built cities in the u.s. are the most right for innovation around this. david: which companies are ahead of the curve? >> we think the real opportunity is in partnering with cities, about private partnerships. the conduit for how all this develops, it is hard to say exactly who will benefit first and profit first, but there are some companies that are better
8:40 am
positioned to harness the opportunity. david: give us a name. >> companies like tesla. david: thank you very much. very interesting. megan: let's get an update on what is making headlines throughout the business world. vonnie quinn. vonnie: north korea's latest attempt to launch ablest at missile has appeared to fail. the missiles in violation of united states resolutions. iraq, government forces are slowly making progress in their attempt to retake a city from the islamic state. they recaptured about 80% around the city. they have now started to advance . this in a sloppy in the u.s. is launching a campaign to keep republicans in charge according to the wall street

>> i suspect there will be a little more weakness over the rest of the year. weaknessto look at the in contests of the big selloff of the u.s. dollar earlier in the year. trade from late january to late april. we'll put since then some pressure on us this month. our view is from here, the currencies have dropped against the dollar since the end of the year. nothing like as terrible as it was last year. the highest six since early 2011. how does that story continue? it appears the nervousness is -- at least for now.
8:47 am
>> as ever, so much is driven by what the dollar itself will do. our view is the chinese currency and the year between 6.6 and 6.7. technically, we see a little addressed in terms of the currency here and at the end of the year. we consistently have the view that the chinese do not want a devaluation of the currency against the dollar. more importantly, they could invoice -- avoid that if necessary and they have plenty of tools. we get this concern about the chinese currency going again, a big rally in the dollar. we think we will get a miniature rally but not a big one. if you do not get a big rally in the dollar, we do not expect the sort of panic over the chinese currency we had a year ago or last summer in august. megan: how are you pricing now on the fed in terms of the likelihood of a june or july hike?
8:48 am
factoring in into how you see the picture? >> we still expect the fed to move in september and then again in's -- december. the risk is always that we can see the rate hike going forward. june to us looks most unlikely. it is frankly too close. we think what is important is the fed, even if they move later in the year, which seems likely, they will move continuously slowly in our opinion p we have already seen the longest gap between the first rate hike in december and the second one, whatever that comes, that we have had for nearly 40 years. the theme is not that the fed will not move, they will, but very slowly. the next one with u.s. growth picking up a little bit, i think that is essentially priced into the emerging-market equities at this point in time. pretty easy possible surprise on the upside? i'm thinking of brazil and india and russia.
8:49 am
>> so many differences across the emerging markets. the general theme is we see very little in the way of positive growth surprises are we do not look for major surprises in china in terms of growth. or indeed in brazil. quite negative about result. having seen a tremendous rally earlier in the year. a surprise to the upside, we think a major area, which is rather small within the context of potential upside surprising growth, europe, possibly turkey, and not entirely unrelated to that, possibly russia as well. when america still under pressure, particularly brazil. perhaps india where you may see some upside surprises to the growth story. jonathan: our colors in asia caught up with the indian finance minister and what is happening with the ruby. balanceve to maintain a between the strong rupee and a
8:50 am
realistic ruby, in which we can continue in the current export environment with the shrinkage of global trade not exactly doing extremely well anywhere in the world. jonathan: realism versus perception. it is hard to actually really draw it a station between the two. speaking of china, as you look at things, what is realistic for the u.n. versus perception that things are going wrong already? >> in terms of the chinese economy or the currency? jonathan: the currency. willth china, so much depend on what happens with the dollar. if you do not get a big dollar move this year, which is our view, the chinese currency will stay broadly under control. the panic that began in august and then followed through in january had a lot to do with fear of the fed and what the dollar was doing on the back of that. concerned,ndia is
8:51 am
the currency is behaving somewhat better today than it did three years ago in the tapered tantrum. once again india like other currencies are vulnerable to a stronger dollar, the currency is behaving very well. we think it will not prevent the central bank producing interest-rate's once again. jonathan: great to have you with us. up, how one chart will help reduce the pace at which the fed will raise rates. that is next. ♪

i have put a chart together of the index from 2000 along with the 10 year yield. janet yellen's comments last friday were more hawkish than people thought and unsurprisingly, a huge decline in rates and that helps fuel the housing bubble and also helps reinflate the housing market out of those lows. the suggestion of this trend down is actually that rates are likely to back up to the overall downtrend. that would support fed yellen's suggestion that rates are likely to rise this year p rich you that should be done in a gradual and appropriate manner. looking at the index, we see that despite the rise, the neil turn -- near term uptrend has emerged suggesting the fed will have to be careful in how it takes rates up. i like your chart quite a bit but one of the factors in their to even get a bigger spread was youth unemployment. joe: that is true. it might even be higher. >> it is 36 .9, the most recent one. that is the thing.
