12:07 pm
he joins us live from his office in the petersburg, florida. , what does- scott this mean? numbers are based on statistical estimates. there is a lot of seasonal adjustment issues. it is rare to see the swing we saw from may to june. these things happefrom time to time. you would expect to see them occasionally. anomaly.number was an so was the june number. you need to look at the trends. you can average the two months together, look at the three-month average. you see a slower trend in job growth. that is not entirely unexpected. we expect that as the job market tightens. there may be hesitation on the part of large firms to hire workers. the nervousness ahead of the brexit though. we are still seeing a lot of
12:08 pm
strength in hiring. look at the underlying trend, it is ok. the economy is growing not too fast, not too slow. ofry ahn: we have the trend the three-month average. take away the noise about the payroll data and you can see this white line compared to the three-month average. it is trailing the three-month average. what does this mean for the fed when it comes to hiking rates? the question that is key is why has job growth slowed down this year, particularly in the second quarter. tightness in labor supply. probably a little bit of two things. of whereto set policy
12:09 pm
the economy is going to be 12 months from now. they are going to be in tightening mode. they are still not going to be in a hurry here. there is too much going on with the rest of the world. too much in terms of unsettled financial conditions. ride it out.g to september may be on the table, but not likely. december is a possibility. in a situation like this, one number does not a trend make. we did have rise slightly in wage inflation. we had a rise in participation. when do you think those numbers get to a level that start to put pressure? fed'soes it force the hand a little bit? that has been the mystery. we have had outstanding job growth the last couple of years.
12:10 pm
we haven't seen a huge increase. 2% in a earnings up about 2013, 2014, up to 2.5%. little aboveg a that. we would normally look for 3.5%, 4%. we still have ways to go. you will get increase in minimum wage. those are coming in california. that may help push overall wages higher. the big question is, can firms cast -- passos labor costs along. job growth will be slowing down. shery ahn: you mentioned corporate profits. aring times of recession,
12:11 pm
chart we have highlighted in profitssee corporate and payroll data tends to drag on. we have corporate profits down more severely than before. the laborhis affect market going forward? firms are going to hire people if they have to hire them based on the goods and services demand. in general, the economy has to slow down to some extent. we are seeing a slower pace of growth in the population. we expect labor supply to increase on the average around half a percent for the next 10 years. 1960, to 2000, it was increasing because more women were coming into the workforce. we ares of gdp growth, likely to see 2% as a base case
12:12 pm
rather than the 3.5%, 4% we remember. be a challenging environment for firms. we expect things to be positive. we expect growth slower than what we have been used to. shery ahn: thank you for talking to us. up next, our mystery stock of the day. y" about nothing "fish our mystery pic. high demand for help against unseen enemies. this is bloomberg. ♪

12:22 pm
what is the meat of your business? gary: years ago, we did executive recruiting. today, it is about 35% of the firm. almost $2 billion. half comes around advisory. talent management is half the firm. is talenthalf acquisition. 35% of it is at the ec suite -- the c-suite. the other 25 is professional and knowledge workers. matt: you are not putting any fast food workers in drive-through windows. you are probably not doing a lot of medical professionals that
12:23 pm
run hospitals. gary: we do a lot in the health care area, with this going through tremendous change. on retail, we do a lot of work around retail store managers, not only hiring them, but helping to develop them. our business does touch those aspects. shery ahn: the big talk of the day is the ceo from disney. do you know if they are hiring the search firm? we don't comment on clients. it is a tremendous brand with a great network. they had a plan with regards to succession and that has taken a little bit of a term.
12:24 pm
matt: we saw 2.6% wage inflation. what are you seeing in the more well-paid jobs? capitalle doing preservation or are they happy to keep jobs or get jobs? gary: we estimated, based on compensation were, there would ea 2.5% increase globally in terms of wage pressure. that is what is turning out to be. areas that in those are high demand, applications, developers, software people, health care, those would tend to drive high wages. when you get to the other side, energy, over the last few months, you see decline. 11,000 jobs see
12:25 pm
added in may? 287,000 jobs added in june. do you see that mirrored in your business? that huge volatility? we did. i look at things in trends, not just one month. if you look at a macro basis, there is no question the number of jobs added is less than what it was a year ago. were 300,000 jobs a month. right now, you are about 100 to deep thousand. with the events in europe that happened a couple of weeks ago, ceos will have a cautious outlook. how is changing technology affecting what companies are hiring and what talent is looking at? working longere now that people are living longer.

12:32 pm
than 120 countries. i am taylor riggs. this is bloomberg. shery: thank you. it is e.t.f. friday. here to discuss the outlook and what the flows are saying is david and eric balchunas joining us from london. dave, let me start with you. u.s..'s in the attracting more than $60 billion in the first half. what does the second half look like? what we have seen a significant amount of money move into bond e.t.f.'s. s will continue. there is a significant amount of uncertainty and volatility. leading to investors looking for safety in the bond market and e.t.f.'s. matt: i wonder about the regional flow.
12:33 pm
it shows you the regional flow in and out of e.t.f.'s. what we have seen over the last three-month is a massive inflow for the u.s. and massive outflow in china and the eurozone. i get europe, right? why china? what is going on? >> there are lingering concerns about the economic growth situation in china and what impact it has on asia broadly and the entire global economy. something not as significant. now it is. when investors see uncertainty and volatility, they go back to what they know. that is the u.s. shery: i want to talk to eric because we are seeing the search for yields. has been trading as treasuries of gold as other safe havens have. junk debt trading like treasuries, the yen, and gold.
12:34 pm
junk debt, junk e.t.f.'s what is the word? >> the day after brexit, that was shocking. you saw junk bond e.t.f.'s taking inflows. there is no more fear of the fed. the fact you have a stock market long in the tooth and people still looking for yields. it used to be would not going to junk bonds if you thought the fed was going to raise. when you see junk-bond flows now, it is people who want the yield and don't fear the fed for the time being. matt: i always worry or wonder matchhow e.t.f. managers what they are holding with people flowing in and out of the actual fund. is it harder in this volatility? dave: one of the benefits of e.t.f.'s they have structure
12:35 pm
which is unique to other investments, particularly mutual funds. it allows managers to manage ats efficiently during volatility. that is what we have seen of late. matt: how are they doing this? you cannot just every day at the end of each market session pull in that much physical gold, right? benefits of the largest in the world is it only old-school bouillon. in a vault in london, there are gold bars being moved to allocate versus other accounts. , since the day of brexit brexit, 2.7 billion of inflows alone. that was done with gold bouillon. gold, given the rally in are we seeing an upside in gold e.t.f.'s? dave: because uncertainty in the market, the brexit direction was wrong. no one expected brexit.
12:36 pm
think about the outlook. it is our own election here. the rhetoric has been hot. i think it will get hotter heading into the summer. that will lead to more political uncertainty, more economic uncertainty. to somethingestors like old, particularly when you have $11 trillion of negative field in debt. matt: and possibly more dislocations. let me ask you, eric, because you are in london. what are you seeing as far as the massive dislocations? relocation was hit first and hardest. is that still where the action is? eric: here you have got people, if you look at european region e.t.f.'s, they have seen $13 billion in outflows this year. i don't think brexit is that big of a deal. the bigger deal is that central bank trades are not working anymore. you have a stock market rally that is seven years old return to 100%. most people get is that nothing
12:37 pm
goes up forever. i think in certain times when you would have come back in, there is a little but it does not have the depth you have seen in past eras. that is why you see gold continuing to take in money every day as well as its peers. you have 15 precious metals e.t.f.'s that have taken inflows this year. that tells you how people are looking for a crisis hedge. shery: thank you so much for your thoughts, joining us from london, eric balchunas. thank you, dave, head of e.t.f. investment strategy at state street global advisors. raisesoming up, uber another $1.15 billion in cash using a method usually reserved for more established companies. we will tell you what it is. this is bloomberg. ♪

you are watching bloomberg. i am mark barton. vonnie: and i am vonnie quinn. italy's banks are getting desperate and the governor says intervention may be necessary. congress is putting
12:41 pm
pressure on boeing. lawmakers want to scuttle the company's sale of jets to iran. are the u.s.nie: and russia entering a new cold war? we look at the signs. we begin in italy where the bank is as it is working intensely with authorities on a solution for its bad loans. it is said to be the subject of bailout talks that have led to a deadlock between italy and other e.u. nations. the central bank has ordered the bank to offload 40% of nonperforming loans by 2018. the bank of italy governor says state intervention to support his bank may be needed. earlier, the citigroup chief said the banking problem in italy goes beyond the balance sheet. politics in italy are is threatening today is u.k. politics were a six months or a year ago. existential uncertainty.
12:42 pm
i am more worried about the politics than the banks per se. mark: the obama administration has imposed tough new rules for oil companies wanting to drilling arctic waters. slashers would have to equipment nearby and take costly steps designed to prevent oil spill's. the industry says the rules will discourage development. members of congress are putting pressure on going over the historic agreement to sell planes to iran's national airline. opponents are concerned the revolution guard will use the plains. the boeing deal would be the biggest business transaction between the u.s. and iran since the 1979 revolution. the obama administration has said it will veto any legislation that undermines the nuclear agreement with iran. has closed a deal for a
12:43 pm
high leveraged loan according to a person familiar with the matter. it has rained more than $50 million in equity and debt. creditors will receive about a 5% yield on the loan. bloombergme for our quick take where we provide context and background on issues of interest. is the cold war between the united states and russia back? henry kissinger has said it is possible. medvedev says it is happening. russian troops have been fighting with an arming pro-russian separatists since 2014. congress voted to supply more lethal weapons to the ukraine army. for now, a cease-fire is in place. in syria, russia's air campaign has been conducted in close proximity to where u.s. aircraft are pursuing their own campaign against islamic state. the u.s. also came under pressure from hours to arm sunni rebels with antiaircraft rebels so they could defend themselves against russian airstrikes.
12:44 pm
that would have put u.s. weapons in the position to kill russian soldiers, just as american arms did in afghanistan in the 1980's and as soviet arms killed u.s. troops in vietnam. here is the background. the cold war began in 1947 when president truman asked congress to help stop the soviet union from projecting its power. soviet diplomats sold the policy as imperial aggression from an american elite claiming the right to lead the world. it was not until 1969 the sides sought a kind of truce with measures to reduce the chance of war. some analysts argued that cold war cannot repeat because russia has no ideology as alluring as communism. thatounterargument is while today might be a different cold war, it should be treated similarly because russia retains a vast nuclear arsenal as well as the will and military means to be a regional superpower. president vladimir putin's
12:45 pm
russia may not have communism to offer the world, but he house takers -- has found takers for managed democracy and conservative values. it could be long and costly to both sides. that is your global business report. . for more stories, visit bloomberg.com. ♪

shery: this is "bloomberg markets." i am shery ahn. matt: and i am matt miller. 287,000 jobs were created in june. gross spoke, bill to tom keene and might he -- mike mckee. they talked about investors taking too much of a risk jumping into the corporate bond market as they search for yield. take a look. >> i think it is obvious when interest rates are zero or negative in everything is tied together.
12:48 pm
bonds and negative interest bonds are tied together in some way. the high-yield bond area is artificially priced and at risk under certain circumstances. i would not buy them. i am short them. ofe: across all categories corporate or just high-yield? are cdx, whichre is an index of high-yield bonds x, which is an index of investment grade bonds. those are derivatives easily traded. high-yield trades at about 425. protection as opposed to sell protection,
12:49 pm
which i have done, the same as shorting, you are giving up the carry. but you are looking for a widening of spreads. i think that is what happens in both markets. mike: with the cost of money for banks trading at 37 basis points, our corporate bonds the channel for monetary policy now? they certainly are beginning to be with the e.c.b., are they not? stocks are the asset class of the day with the swiss national bank we just found out. they have $500 billion worth of stocks around the world, including apple, and johnson & johnson. to me, that is staggering. we have known the japanese buy stocks but we never knew this was national bank bought stocks. it is almost like a sovereign wealth fund. distortede market is by cash flows that never have
12:50 pm
been. tom: i look at the swiss franc and think of bob who has been looking at sterling swiss as a proxy for safe haven versus what is going on in the united kingdom. i think all of our world would you werenow what thinking in the drama of the brexit vote. what were you thinking as you saw the united kingdom shift to leave versus the presumed remaining? bill gross: i was watching that overnight. what i was watching was i had some options on u.s. treasuries, calls and puts. initially, the u.s. treasuries were declining in price, and too much. but all of a sudden as brexit was winning, treasuries went up and were going up too much. you you see volatility,
12:51 pm
don't want to sell as much as happened on that night. it was a long night for me. it turned out very well. that is the problem with a sudden change. there are so many positions. there is so much leverage currency-wise. as you point out, almost every five minutes. tom, on your program your currency-related. i think that is good. there are huge currency positions that have to be unwound and rebalanced. there are huge positions in terms of credit and treasuries. there are huge positions across jgb's and u.s. treasuries. when something happens, it induces lots of volatility and a lot of loss-taking on one side and profit-taking on the other. it is not the way capitalism should be run. opposed to ao as midwestern farm. gross thiswas bill
12:52 pm
morning. the radio portion was "bloomberg surveillance." a quick check on your stocks. benchmarks near session highs. you can see the nasdaq is moving higher than the s&p and dow. let's go down to abigail doolittle live at the nasdaq looking at how it has recovered since the brexit vote that tom and bill were talking about. abigail: we have the nasdaq in full rally mode, more so than 500 and down.s&p the nasdaq has erased all brexit losses. we have lots of strength. two of the biggest winners are tesla and whole foods. they fared the volatility the best. deliveries it guided down and had issues around autopilot. pretty amazing.
12:53 pm
whole foods on take-out speculation. one stock more uncertain, and american airlines. this is bounced off the bottom nicely, up 19% from the bottom after falling 18%. it shows investors were initially concerned about the brexit fallout on the travel industry, airlines in particular. and now, not so much, until again they are. we have a way of returning to issues. it will be interesting to see how that plays out. matt: thanks, abigail. treasury officials tell lawmakers they will relax restrictions on some intra-company banking activities. it could ease cash flo pooling. i want to bring in our tax reporter. what is cash pooling? >> it is almost an in-company bank. a company with multiple affiliates that have extra cash
12:54 pm
can put their extra cash into a single account and other affiliates that might be short of cash can draw down from that. it is in effect an in-company lending operation. shery: what is the treasury trying to do? >> there is the issue we know about called inversions. the problem with that is also related to intra-company lending. a lot of u.s. profits can be repaid to foreign affiliates through repaid debt to the foreign parent. treasury department would like to shut down the avenue. the problem is the rule as proposed appears to also capture this cash pooling technique which is pretty common. does not necessarily have to do directly with inversion. and a lot of companies are nervous their cash management technique could get jeopardized by this broad sweep. ist: so treasury
12:55 pm
effectively trying to put a stop to cash inversions, companies trying to avoid paying high corporate u.s. taxes and have snared some innocents in their wake. >> that is what the business community is telling the treasury department and lawmakers. it seems like the message might be resonating. that is what treasury told lawmakers this week. shery: what is congress doing in response to this proposal? >> i think the big message from leading members of the tax committees in congress is slow down. they have been asking the treasury department to slow down. there is a meeting next week. the treasury department says it does not plan to slow its space. the word they used the other day is "act swiftly." nevertheless, they seem to suggest they are cognizant of these concerns and want to work on the issue. matt: a little curveball here. does it occur to people on capitol hill that if we had a

theycompetitive tax regime may be able to completely avoid the issues? >> that is one of the reasons members on the hill are asking for a positive they say we have better ideas to address this. let's bring down tax rates and do other things that make the idea of inversion not necessary anymore. matt: less attractive. excellent. that is all we have time for. i appreciate you stopping by. aaron lorenzo. hour, we are next getting you ready for the busy week ahead. we have a preview of next week's bank earnings. this is bloomberg. ♪

1:07 pm
morning. what a rebound. julie: what a rebound. and it was a surprise to those at the labor department as i am sure it was a surprise to you in the studio because the average estimate was 180,000. a rebound from the dismal performance in may, but not a rebound like we ended up getting a 287,000. in hiring is coming from leisure and hospitality hiring which was strong. strong hiring in health care and social assistance, things like child care and physical therapy. also in financial activities. all those areas were strong in june. at the same time, we did see an uptick in the unemployment rate to 4.9%. that is .1% higher than estimated. we saw more unemployed in the workforce. average hourly earnings was a disappointment. it was up 2.6% year over year but only .1% month over month.
1:08 pm
that was lower than estimated. we did have this headline blockbuster number. at the same time, i want to point out there is overall still slowing in hiring. 147,000e-month averages -- average is 147,000. we have to mention what happened in may. may's jobs number was worse than it initially looked. it was revised lower to a gain of 11,000. all that coming from government hiring. private sector hiring in may was down by 6000. in part because of the verizon strike but also weakness in temp agency hiring inmate. shery: thank you for joining us in washington. matt: reactions the jobs report is mixed. not everyone sees the jobs market in the same light. here is what we heard on bloomberg today. >> things are not as hunky-dory as 287,000 might suggest.
1:09 pm
normal is 150,000. it is nothing to get excited about. mike: does it get anyone interested in what janet yellen will do? does this change the calculation of when they might move? bill: i don't think so. to lookll have brexit into. they have problems with italian banks. the e.c.b. and e.u. do. problems with u.k. property, mutual funds. there is a sense of the liquidity in markets -- illiquidity in markets and the fed is concerned with markets to the extent there is discord around the world. i think the fed stays where it is. they have wanted to raise rates. they did it once. i think they want to have us believe they will raise several times and have a positive yield curve which will help banks and
1:10 pm
insurance companies. but for the most part, i don't think this changes much. >> it looks like we have completely recovered. wage growth picked up a little bit. of near the4, kind high it gets at the top of a business cycle. everything looks right. one problem. that is employment rates are very low. that is a significant issue. >> how far are we from full employment? >> to my calculations, it suggests even if you correct for demographics, if you look at the current hiring rates, the unemployment rate rather than being 4.9% is probably in the high 5.0%'s. >> it generally puts the recovery back on the track we thought it was on. it is slowing from last year. the average the last three months has been less than the average for last year.
1:11 pm
that is not surprising. this has been a very long recovery. we are at what most people would think of as full employment. >> it does not concern you the pace is slowing, yet we are not seeing meaningful increase in wage gains? >> it does concern me. that has been the bad news story. people have jobs but they are not earning as much as they should be. i think that is a signal we need to be investing in productivity enhancing things like improve our infrastructure, improve the skills of the workforce, invest in science and technology. those are the things that have been lagging over the last several years. >> this report is more like a goldilocks report for the market. they will welcome the strong job creation. they will welcome the uptick in the labor participation rate. but they will also note wage
1:12 pm
growth remains sluggish. what you should see an are seeing his major movement at the short end of the yield curve. equities doing well because the goldilocks report suggests growth is ok and will not force the fed into hiking. importantly, beefing up sectors, particularly banking will get some short-term relief because of what is happening to the yield curve. vonnie: you talk about wages. we had no meaningful acceleration. the participation rate did increase, which was good. what will it mean for the federal reserve? can they put a rate hike on the table this year? assumeays to them don't we are talking sideline. but it does not mean they will move quickly. i think if we continue to get this type of jobs report, we may end up with one hike this year. expectationsst

1:22 pm
revisions for last month which made it look worse in some ways. are we to believe this number because last month was so weird with the verizon strike? >> there is a lot of volatility. the margin of error is plus or -100,000. that is why you look at the long-term numbers. i think the fed is looking at an economy that is doing ok. the labor market is improving. wages are improving. they are looking at a bias to raise rates. international events are preventing them from doing that. if there were such a thing as u.s. in isolation, they would be considering a more normal rate requirement. but international events conspire against that. still, things are ok in the u.s. i think the fed would evaluate this is an economy that could withstand and with slightly -- would justify slightly positive rates. from: economists were looking
1:23 pm
for a number double that. not great for workers. is it a better thing for companies that don't have to pay out so much in wages and this is good for the margins? what this will sack into margins -->> this will seg into margins. as the volatility works its way through, earnings will probably rise to about the zero range by the end of this year. i think the lack of wage pressure. carol: earnings at zero is a good thing? >> that is an improvement. cory: earnings stink. >> earnings are not doing well now. they are improving. a lot of this is as energy story and dollar store. the time you get into 2017, earnings should be in the low single digits again. not recessionary not great. grade on earnings, the

1:25 pm
brought into focus was the lack of wage growth. i think about things going on in technology. we see things happening at lower cost. we see cloud computing taking over from companies. we see startups starting at much lower cost as a result. i wonder if we are looking at an era where companies are not putting a lot of money to use because they don't have to. maybe that will have a more effectnt affect -- because companies do not need to spend as much but are not getting as much in topline growth. carol: 20 seconds. >> you are in technology which is a disinflationary industry. i think we are looking at a world of lower wage and lower returns. rates are negative in europe and japan. you have to be active. how can you reconstitute a total return strategy?

there are a lot of disinflationary pressures holding in the economy -- building in the economy. you have to stay on your toes. wood, thank you. . we will send it back to television. matt: thank you. high-frequency trading app that would make high-speed traders a threat to even the biggest hedge funds. we will discuss. this is bloomberg. ♪

that has an awesome new have -- app. it would make high-speed traders a threat to even the biggest hedge funds. so tell us how the system works. miles: what happens is when renaissance does a trade it is sent to a central server and then the central server sends it to a number of other servers that are located next to the servers that execute the exchanges trades. timeerver sends a precise that each trade is supposed to go out and they all go to the exchanges at the same time and that prevents the high-frequency

traders from saying a trade on one exchange and then trading of renaissance at a another slightly slower exchange. matt: they have their system hooked up to an atomic clock which sounds really cool. visit and anti-hft system or is it the ultimate hft system because they can execute trades in a billionth of a second, right? you think they would have been able to do that before hand. the key is having everything synchronized so that they go to every exchange of the same time and that allows renaissance to get the best prices and access the best liquidity on each exchange without having their orders exposed and therefore front run. matt: i thought of arbitrage

noncommodity's were the highest before 2008.since companies are writing down the value of their assets x commodities. you look at revenue growth and leverage is at an all-time high. if you take out telecom which is a highly leveraged actors. all-time highs and that will climb from here fear it -- from here. the first thing we have to do is pay back. that's people who want out. and the second thing they will do is write down assets because isis will fall and they have to turn around and do a fire sale. fix we will see a lot more of that. the other thing to think about is you are going to continue to have a decline in earnings. that will send leverage higher as well. now joining us is joe weisenthal.
