10:08 am
costerg joins us now. so would you say that the nsp that we just got a few days ago, that it gave janet yellen a free pass or it is indicative of the economy weakening? thomas: i think there were signals into report that showed the economy is weakening. working hours are down. temporary jobs are also down. and i think that cycle is slowing down. it will be very difficult for the fed to raise rates. that theomeone said fed needs to increase which is why we are seeing that with the economy. some people are saying that by december we need to cut again? thomas: the fed is very sensitive to economy growth. we have seen that in the past. i think the cycle will slow down. i think that we will decrease by december and i think the fed
10:09 am
will have to cut rates by then. there is a risk that the fed could increase rates by july if dataeven is strong. but in my view, that would be symbolic. mark: so you are saying december but let's discuss. on expectedpullback rate hikes in 2017 and 2018? will it alter the longer projection? sure.: i think there are two main messages. there is a hawkish message about the short term. i think they probably still see to rate hikes for 2016. so the median may stay with two rate hikes. but i'm more interested in the long-term terminal rates, which i think might go down. i think the fed is like peeling
10:10 am
an onion. and the are peeling it rate is going down and down. i think that is key. because it seems that be fed is losing faith in the rate hike cycle. mark: what about inflation expectations? check out this chart. i think this is a really important chart. it shows long-term inflation expectations for u.s. consumers. they have pushed down to two point 3%. that is the lowest in records going back to 1979. is it time for the fed to revisit the view on inflation expectations? well, the thing with inflation expectations is that it isn't clear what they are looking at. if youill say is that look at the five-year rate, it in december than when they started raising rates. so i think that is a single that
10:11 am
-- a signal we should pay attention to. and the yield curve is flash right now. german we just saw the going to a negative yield rate again. that is pulling down rates. is that pulling down the u.s.? megan: -- ,homas: there is global demand especially as europe and japan go into negative territory. , in the u.s.,ime inflation remains up. is rejuvenating the premium for the u.s. treasury. so i think u.s. treasury yields will stay low. and they may go down even further. mark: there is probably some relief in the fed that the jobs june off theken table, to the extent that they don't have to worry about that u.k. referendum. exitlet's say that break
10:12 am
does occur, does that take july off the table? i think it would be quite difficult to see a july rate hike with a brexit vote. because there could be some market disruptions with the vote. and we know that the fed is very sensitive to that. we will watch the dollar. that is something that the fed has been sensitive to in the past. and i think they will remain sensitive to that in the coming week. but youave u.s. data need market conditions. these will be key. i think there is a chance of a july rate hike but he would really need to see a strong pickup in payroll and consumer spending. i think the data bar is too high. mark: great to see you, thomas

10:21 am
mark: you are watching "bloomberg markets." i am mark barton. vonnie: the latest bloomberg politic poll is out. hillary clinton has a 12 point edge over donald trump. she is leading 49% over 37% among likely voters. let's get more on the results from megan murphy who joins me in the new york studio. clarify when this poll was done? before orlando? were in the field before orlando but we stayed in the field after orlando happened. vonnie: how did that impact? that: what you can see is
10:22 am
people's confidence -- it was interesting. and youapproval rating can see people concerned about the future of the country. that is always going to be something that cuts to the core of what people are concerned about. poll, there ishe so much good stuff in there. you would have to say that hillary clinton is coming away from this poll a happier person. a muchthis poll shows wider margin between donald trump and hillary clinton than other polls at this time. other polls were showing them within a 3-5 points. what you see in this poll is the impact of trump's messy couple of weeks that he has had very at starting with the controversial comments about the hispanic heritage of the judge involved in a lawsuit with him and also , peopleonses to orlando are seeming to be feeling less comfortable with the bombastic rhetoric he has become known for. and people are also seeing that
10:23 am
itlary clinton supporters -- is a real positive for her. she has struggled with the bernie sanders juggernaut to get here. and this is going to be a really important development in this race. mark: trump is viewed as stronger among voters in combating terroristic threats at home and abroad. that matters, doesn't it? it has more people are saying that terrorism is the most important issue. megan: he has a narrow margin and he has always had that margin but you have to counterbalance that. the majority of voters say they would never vote for him. 60% of women say they would never vote for him. you will not going to win a general election if 60% of female voters won't vote for you. vonnie: before bernie sanders was no longer a contestant, he matched up better with donald trump.
10:24 am
hillary clinton's unfavorables? whon: in terms of people would never vote for her, it is 43 -- that is still high. unprecedented levels of high unfavorable it a. it is athe time when snapshot. we have a long way to go. we always expected her to become -- to get a bump when she became the nominee. larger margin than people expected. some people think the margin will continue to widen. it'll come down to whether donald trump changes his game. atk: should we look too much national trends? is it better to look at the 12 battleground states? megan: national polls are a difficult reflection because the -- it isll decide
10:25 am
really about demographics and turning out core voters and who you win over in the state. it still comes down to ohio, florida, the same states as we see every year. but forming a narrative that hillary clinton is so much more dominate and him will help her to raise money and with the ground game. so they are important although not necessarily a measure of where we will be in november. vonnie: the libertarian candidate was in this poll and got 9%. what do we read into that? megan: it is interesting. libertarian to do better this election. that sentiment is actually closely aligned with some elements of the sanders cap and the trump camp. of whatt intersection can and can't happen. so that will be a fascinating dynamic to watch. vonnie: all right.

10:31 am
driving season. they are down more than it was expected. in the6 million barrels week ending june 10. that was more than the estimated. u.s. distilled inventory data. risen 786,000lly barrels last week. we were expecting a decline of 30,000 barrels. the four we had this data we had seen oil falling for the fifth consecutive session down more than 1%. it is not reacting that much. where we are seeing oil data but it is still trading at $48 a barrel. vonnie: thank you. let's check in with the first word news this morning. taylor riggs has more. kerry says iran

10:34 am
visions of the referendum debate enters its final stretch. matt winkler wrote an article that focuses on the pole. in it, he writes that a week before britain votes on whether to leave the eu, polls show that the public preference is to close to call. financial markets provide a different view. expectation, when markets and polls point in different directions, markets tend to be superior prognosticators. on the other side of the aisle, economists say that modeling results say the u.k. would be better off without eu regulation. let's open this brexit roundtable. if i can start with you, the , george osborne, has and has basically
10:35 am
said that we face a fiscal crisis if we leave the eu. there will be a 30 billion pound blackhole in the public finances. taxes would have to rise. cutting spending on defense. education and health. what is the answer to that? this is my personal opinion, and not the opinion -- my personal opinion is that the chancellor's warnings on the and the broadle analysis we have seen from david cameron is known as project fear. which leads to a whole shocking list of things that will happen to the u.k. economy should there be a brexit.
10:36 am
think the danger with the it has been that wildly overstated. so much so that i think project fear, the campaign to persuade voters to stay in the union is actually backfiring. it, will there be a world war iii? is it going to be the end of western civilization? that isthe answer to that we will wake up next friday and tuck into our cornflakes and things will be much the same as before. mark: do you accept at all that this is the number crunching politics -- when you were last on may 10, the probability was 22%. we are double that now. you say the chancellor's assertions are wildly overstated on the effect of the economy.
10:37 am
do you assess any part of their will ben that there economic effects? one of the interesting things on the modeling studies carried out by the business school, the cochair economist, a 40 years economic modeling the -- he made it very clear that a lot of the assumptions with the treasuries and with other forecasting agencies is that it has been assumed from the get-go the worst-case option. brexitg outside of doesn't see any change whereas a free-trade option has lots of benefits. and whether that is modeled properly and in the case of
10:38 am
they did nots, model the free-trade option. so actually, assume the answer straightaway. i think that goes a long way to invalidating the message. my personal view is that i think brexit is a good thing. i think our economy would improve. i think we would be free of eu regulation. but it is a bit of a raw deal. this isn't just about economics. it is about politics. about how you want to be governed. if you want to be governed by three politics who don't stand for election, go ahead. but people aren't happy with the lack of accountability. the way decisions are made. way i would which
10:39 am
go. vonnie: some arguments there for exiting. we want to bring in match winkler. you havene thing -- been looking at markets which should be pricing and the economic argument. and you say markets are saying there will be a brexit? krishna: replete -- matt: markets, as you are probably aware, they are apt to change. they are sensitive to uncertainly. and the way to interpret markets right now is that on a short-term basis, markets have great anxiety about this event next week. andyou look at the markets what it tells us for months to come all the way up to one year from now, they are saying very little is going to happen. vonnie: so what indicators are
10:40 am
you looking at? because volatility indicators -- matt: we look at the currency, the pound. vonnie: there is a lot of bearishness with the pound. that the market thinks it will weaken? matt: no, it means the opposite. basis, there is a great deal of volatility for the pound but on a one-year aces, the gap is about as wide as it gets. when you see that kind of divergence from what the market in the short-term they are hedging the risk of uncertainty but in the long-term, they don't see it. vonnie: i know that you use prognosticators as opposed to uncertain jurors. but if you look at only the market, and i'm comparing it , canthe federal reserve you tell what is going to happen just by looking at what markets are saying? matt: you can in the case of
10:41 am
events like this. inallel offense are back 1995, scotland in 2014 -- a very similar dichotomy between the short-term and long-term volatility. the long-term volatility was next to nothing but the short-term was very high. in each of those examples, the outcome was that voters said they didn't want to change and go with uncertainty. the market recognized their preference. off withwill finish you. what is the worst-case scenario for both camps? what happens in the eventuality of a closed vote? 52-48? neil: certainly, i think investors recognize that. we have seen the market price action in the run-up and there is volatility and uncertainty. which is also given the baros of
10:42 am
the statements from the imf and the world bank and the bank of england -- they are saying that all bad things will happen. so markets are now pricing that in. there is another interesting issue. whatever happens in terms of the outcome of the referendum, this uncertainty will not go away with regards to the eu. we have a spanish election on june 26. and the referendum in october. we have german elections next year. mark: does that mean that longer-term implied volatility has been kept low. will we start seeing it coming in longer-term? i think, absolutely. investors i have spoken to are more worried, regardless of this outcome, that in the longer term, the recent surveys show that the eu is not popular with those in france, spain and italy
10:43 am
but the eu is a hard sell. maybe the integrated approach is peaking. i wouldn't be surprised to see european markets pick up and persist for the next 12 months. matt is going to respond. say, we don't know what is going to happen in the future but we get look at what is happening right now. u.k. bonds are the lowest ever. that is an expression of confidence in the u.k.. the equity market in the u.k. is trading at a premium relative to europe. people have more confidence in a u.k. stocks and there is less volatility. that is data that we can look at right now and is projected into the future. so it is kind of saying that the confidence is britain, where it is right now in the you best in the eu, is good and it will get

10:49 am
at one point, one kings lane was a multibillion dollar company. we areatching -- watching it get acquired for almost nothing. so there is a winner but there are any other stocks you want to mention? abigail: one standout drag trading lower is cisco systems. downgraded shares from a neutral to a by saying that the celebrating earnings growth and also slowing stock buybacks are less of a reason to be positive. todid cut the price target $35 but even so, this is just more of a 10% upside and it is above the average price target of less than $31. odd nuances there. we see that this stock, like so many others, it is stuck in a trading range. it's a just that the downgrade will prove true. sellers arehat the pushing the stocks back down into the range. the bottom of the range is
10:50 am
$22.50. again suggesting that the idea of a downgrade on cisco systems could work out nicely. vonnie: mark? we have a bloomberg business flash to look at some of the biggest business stories in the news. there is a new twist in the saga of sumner redstone and the media empire. daughter has talked -- shealibaba founder also spoke to dreamworks chief executive to see if he was interested in running viacom. there has been no word yet. doesn't's theme park even have the official grand opening until tomorrow and already, the company is expanding the resort. his niece chief executive says construction has begun to
