3:05 pm
cause, developed economies are barely growing and profitability appears to have peaked. ofnie: joining us is when state street global advisors. we have been seeing buying and safe havens as the week draws to an end. or at least positioning so that people are not going long into the weekend. what is going to come next week? >> stocks are trading like it's a greek tragedy. i was reminded by my colleague about sisyphus, who was punished so hubris, for constantly. gods he had to roll a large rock up a hill only to watch it fall back down again. it seems like that is how markets are trading. we keep rolling the stone near
3:06 pm
market highs, but as hubris central bankers, it keeps rolling back down. result, we have seen traders pair risk positions looking toward next week with the bank of japan, the fed vote, paring risk at this point. david: of all the risks you mentioned, the doj, the fed, the election, what is the biggest risk you see? >> i think it's the lack of economic growth that we see. there seems to be no follow-through, david, in terms of quantitative easing, negative interest rate policies. it has not been enough to spur economic growth. in my view, the volatility we are seeing in markets since last summer is the result of oaks seeing that economic -- folks seeing that economic growth rates are much further out on the horizon man anyone anticipated. as a result, we seem to be in a
3:07 pm
directionless, listless market, this greek tragedy as i called it. vonnie: are you advising people to go into cash or gold? >> we continue to be somewhat defensively positioned in terms of stock-bond mixes. but given this and marmon, we are expecting more of folks total returns to -- this environment, we are expecting more of folks total returns to come from income. we like dividend growers. we like some parts of the fixed income market or equity like instruments with fixed income characteristics, preferreds, convertibles, high yield. from our perspective, in this environment that's likely to be lower for longer across multiple , more returns are likely to come from income. how long is this likely to play out, do you think?
3:08 pm
how long will sisyphus be rolling this up the hill? >> what is interesting is that central bank halle c, permanent liquidity is preventing the natural occurrence of the economic cycle. we have been in this long and we continue to wonder why it is so long. it's because central-bank policy is preventing the natural of the cycle. we have been in growth purgatory for a while. underwhelming economic growth combined with low rates and low inflation. i think this will continue until economic policy gets out of the way and allows capital to work. are you expecting more volatility going forward? >> yes, experimental
3:09 pm
central-bank policy will continue to be a challenge. think one of the reasons folks are paring back risk this week is that the doj -- boj surprised some folks this year. trust factor where folks are not sure what the policies will be. andine that with brexit politics everywhere, including the u.s. election, and i think we are likely to see volatility continue. to the feding meeting next week. after the most recent minutes came out in the meeting before , do you think the disconnect has gotten smaller or become reattached? are nownk june and july likely off the table in terms of interest rate rises. if anything, the fed is coming more around to the market point
3:10 pm
of view than the other way around. think it's likely for the fed to remain on hold. the data continues to be mixed. the labor market conditions index was down. jobs claims are up. what am i to make of that? consumer credit deteriorated. at the same time, the consumer sentiment index held up well. mortgage applications ticked up. in this environment, i think it will be really hard for the fed to begin normalizing policy with this murkiness in the economy. you mentioned that you like high yields, corporate's, and so forth. any concern about a bubble? >> what we are cautioning folks on his reaching for that yield concern about how much you are stretching for that yield. we are concerned in this
3:11 pm
environment where look with it he is flush and central bankers have accommodative monetary policy. we believe there are parts of the market that are stretched. believe that for convertibles, high yield, preferreds at this point, valuations remain reasonable you are able to produce in a low return, low risk environment. we do acknowledge that, but in some instruments, you need to be careful about how much you are paying for a low risk yield. david: thank you. up, hulk hogan and peter thiel appeared to have defeated gawker. the website has filed for bankruptcy. we will have the latest, next. are looking at live coverage of the funeral for muhammad ali, being held now in louisville, kentucky, his hometown.
