12:00 pm
>> from bloomberg world headquarters, i am shery ahn. fu int: i am scarlet london. here is what we are watching. warning that structural forces are weighing on the future of u.s. economic growth. nigel chok joins us with the latest. outgoing eu commissioner jonathan hill joins us live from brussels with his thoughts on the future of the capital market union and theresa may. scarlet: an exclusive interview with the ubs ceo. he tells us where he thinks markets are headed and why ubs is preparing for a reversal. let's head directly --
12:01 pm
shery: let's head to the markets desk were julie hyman has the latest. we are still at record highs. julie: for the s&p and the dow. the nasdaq is not at record highs but it is turning positive. -- the s&p at 2153. point the dow did touch an intraday record. not only do you have this risk appetite on market, you also have it on relatively high training volume. -- trading volume. overall for the s&p volume is up about 6% but you see the surge in volume of material stocks, 76% higher than a 20 year average and the same thing on industrials.
12:02 pm
even as we approach these record highs, it is worth mentioning what is going on with valuation for the us you 500. -- s&p 500. we are just a hair shy of 20. we have seen valuations push-up during this current rally. in terms of today's session and what is getting the most, we have seagate after they announced an expansion of job -- ana lot of the american airlines saying it's -- will be boosted because of a new agreement with credit card providers. scarlet: getting back to the valuations of stocks, they make sense if you look at the valuations of hans. how our bonds faring? julie: there is a $20 billion auction of 10-year note and it
12:03 pm
will be interesting to see what the demand will be although we are seeing-year-old push higher for the second -- we are seeing yields push higher for the second day. if you go back to the history -- we do not have time, i will show you later the correlation. we will be bringing you the result of that auction. shery: we will be looking forward to it. let's check in with mark crumpton. mark: after a long and sometimes acrimonious campaign, bernie sanders has officially endorsed hillary clinton for president at a campaign in portsmouth, new hampshire. he thinks she will make an outstanding president and he is proud to stand with her. sanders' long resistance to endorsing clinton diminished his political leverage as the
12:04 pm
campaign drew to a close. newt gingrich may not end up as donald trump's running mate but he could end up with a role in the trumpet administration. according to people familiar, the republican candidate may pick gingrich for a top national security post if elected. president obama travels to dallas to meet with the families of five police officers killed and an ambush last week and will speak at his 11th memorial and reelingidency to a city . one day after a surprise stop in iraq, as carter is in afghanistan, meeting with top u.s. commanders as well as afghan officials. secretary carter says the united states will continue to train and advise afghan forces.
12:05 pm
global news 24 hours a day, powered by our 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. scarlet: thank you so much. from global uncertainty surrounding grexit to italy's banking crisis, the crisis is facing a number of economic headwinds but a study by the imf shows the u.s. economy is holding up pretty well. what downsize risks remain? nigel chok joins us from washington -- chalk joins us from washington. i want to start with some of the moves that we have seen and the market because it seems like a lot of contradictions. questions about whether the u.s. economy is slowing down. what do these market extremes reflect when it comes to the u.s. economic fundamentals? nigel: i think what c is they
12:06 pm
are very good. it is a strong labor market. we see very good numbers on retail sales and the weight that economysed on the u.s. from the stronger dollar seems to be alleviated. i think we are seeing some reflection of a strong u.s. economy. when we look at the treasury yields they seem to be reflecting risk aversion and global capital flows into u.s. assets. given that market data, you say there is a clear case to proceed along a very gradual upward path for u.s. interest rates. how much of the potential brexit fallout played into your stance? nigel: brexit does not have a huge effect on the u.s. economy, what we have seen so far. the main channel is through a stronger dollar and as you just mentioned, u.s. equity markets
12:07 pm
are at an all-time high and the dollar has not had a huge effect on the u.k. referendum so that does not feed very much into our calculations. what does is the state of u.s. inflation, still struggling to get to the 2% target the fed has and we see downside risks to inflation. that is why we call for a very cautious move upward. scarlet: the fed disagrees with your call to overshoot on inflation. how do you factor in a stronger u.s. dollar? if the fed were to follow the imf's recommendation, wouldn't that push the dollar higher as well and eventually eating into growth? nigel: i think there is a trade-off. if the rates stay low in the u.s. it is unlikely we will see a strengthening of the dollar. if the rate increase is more
12:08 pm
frontloaded than is currently expected we could see some upward by for the dollar that would eat into the growth. talk about theo u.s. election because the imf warned on the consequence of a brexit but they voted to leave anyway. we are seeing a similar rhetoric coming from donald trump, re-declaring independence on trade, immigration. how does the u.s. election impact the u.s. economy? nigel: we do not see a large effect but what we have tried to do is look ahead to the new administration and the forces that will face the u.s. economy in the coming years. we think it is important. these are an increasingly -- and a declining labor force participation. we think these are the forces
12:09 pm
that will need to be tackled. scarlet: that is a pretty long to do list. i know we talked about brexit already but how do you fold in political disruption and uncertainty, whether it is the upcoming u.s. election or external events like rex it or something in -- like grexit or something in asia -- brexit or something in asia? nigel: it is difficult to quantify. we do not have a straight quantification but we do feel there are downside risks to the u.s. economy although we have a relatively up eight forecast. shery: and all of these challenges you are advising concerted policy action sooner rather than later. what would those be? nigel: we look at a range of actions and depending on the challenges we are facing, we think poverty is an important issue that needs to be tackled,
12:10 pm
we have advocated for a higher minimum wage, and asked that the federal government looks at poverty programs and stroke -- and improves them. we think skills-based immigration reform would be an important thing and we think there could be in court changes -- important changes made to the u.k. -- u.s. taxes. scarlet: one final question, something that comes up all the time when we are awaiting inflation. do you think the traditional relationship between unemployment and inflation is breaking down? i am speaking of the phillips curve. nigel: certainly that has been in the public debate as of late because we have seen a strong decline in u.s. unemployment yet there does not seem to be much wage appreciation. what we find is the relationship between unemployment and inflation has not changed post
12:11 pm
crisis, but what seems to have changed is the number of shocks hitting the u.s. economy. they seem to be hit more and more by dis-inflationary shocks. they could come from low commodity prices, a smaller dollar, and that is changing the inflation dynamics. scarlet: thank you. coming up on bloomberg markets, an exclusive interview with lord jonathan hill. he has three days left as eu commissioner of foreign services. we ask what is next and what he makes of theresa may as the uk's next prime minister. ♪

scarlet: you are -- shery: you are watching bloomberg markets. i am shery ahn with scarlet fu. julie: i'm going to start with oracle. it is being updated like keith 1.6%, an update to an outperform from a market perform. the analyst has a higher conviction that the company can meet consensus estimates and generate operating income growth. they will continue to be aggressive with shareholder capital but does not expect a large m&a. then there are a duo of interesting analyst on countries that we see a sort of being on the brink. cliff's natural is one, the price target being raised to the highest on the street.
12:15 pm
jpmorgan says this company is not headed to bankruptcy despite the extreme high short-term interest. the shares at 11% today. he says the recent bankruptcy of -- and theyesota have filed a shelf registration for a $3 million equity offering which would likely push out any near-term debt maturity. that is why they have a higher conviction they are not headed to bankruptcy. then there is chesapeake energy, there has been concern about their debt and balance sheet. an analyst at piper jaffray says the risk has diminished given the fact that they have completed $950 million into vestige or's they have a more lenient credit pack in several credit or equity deals, as well as an improving natural gas.
12:16 pm
the shares are bouncing by 7%. having a pretty big effect on the stocks today. scarlet: thank you so much, julie hyman. coming up, an exclusive interview with lord jonathan hill. he has three days left as eu commissioner for financial services. what is nextking and what he makes of theresa may. this is bloomberg. ♪

12:18 pm
scarlet: this is bloomberg markets, i am scarlet fu in london with shery ahn in new york. financial services will be the second are most affected i the u.k. departure from the eu but where do you begin to start? we will take you to brussels where ryan chilcote is standing by with an interview with lord
12:19 pm
jonathan hill. ryan: jonathan hill is actually stepping down from that role as britain's commissioner in the european union in just two days. he will be leaving the post of being in charge of financial services and regulation in the eu, and he has already seated some of those powers. it is a pleasure to speak with you. i wanted to start with a slightly provocative question. in termsany way that of access to the single market, uk's new relationship the eu can be better than what it has had as a member? i argued that the benefits of being in a single market were clear and strong and i think it has benefited from being in the single market. the fact is, there has been a
12:20 pm
big decision taken by the british people. that is the decision you have to ,espect, there is no going back and what people need to do in the u.k. is make the most of that, and look for new opportunities that maybe were not there before and are how you deal with the new situation. i think they have been thinking in a certain way for the last 40 years and now they need to reimagine a whole economic model. ryan: you have talked about the norwegian model. that is outside of the european union but they still have access to the single market and have agreed on some other thing like freedom of movement. they pay into the eu and are subject to eu laws, but you have said there is an intellectual inconsistency in going for that approach. explain that. sir jonathan: i think the deal that the norwegians have works that they dogians
12:21 pm
not have such a developed financial services sector obviously as the u.k., and the basic deal is they have to sign up or rules but do not have much influence over the rulemaking. the british people have decided that they want a different i do notd so now, think of this as being one kind of model that you have got to take off the peg like you are buying a suit in a shop. with the wholel intellectually rigorous process of working out what your priorities are, what you want your economy to be shaped like, the role financial services will play, and then the complicated negotiation as to how you can best deliver what you can and also think about domestic policy tools that might be needed to compensate for some of the things you might be losing. ryan: like reducing the corporation task. what do you say to the financial firms operating in the city who are saying there is a lot of
12:22 pm
uncertainty and my guess is, the best that the u.k. can get outside the eu is not going to be as good as it is now, what would you say? sir jonathan: i would say get your thinking caps on and be part of the process whereby britain and the british government needs to rethink what it is offering. i think that with the expertise that they have, knowing how the markets work, knowing how international trade works, knowing what it is that it tracks people to london, they need to come up with their top asks and work with the government to come up with a proper strategy. ryan: how long do you think it is going to take to get the clarity they are looking for? sir jonathan: i think it is hard at the moment. it is hard to be clear on the length of time. clearly there is pressure in the rest of europe for the process to start but it is also the case
12:23 pm
in the u.k. that we have a new prime minister starting tomorrow. they have to go through the process before you are in a position where you come to the rest of europe with a set of initial proposals. i think no one wants to make it take longer than it needs to but i think at the minute, setting a time frame until you have done your homework is quite hard. i would think people would not want uncertainty to last as long as it has been. ryan: do you see yourself as part of the u.k. negotiating team? sir jonathan: i see no role for myself other than going back to my garden and cultivating it. ryan: have you had a chance to talk to the new prime minister? sir jonathan: no. the soon-to-be new prime minister did not know they were going to be the soon-to-be new prime minister until tee time. i am in brussels and have a job to do trying to set a future
12:24 pm
path of financial regulation. ryan: who do you think should lead the uk's negotiating? sir jonathan: that is not for me to say. there are plenty of people who will be smart and keen to do it. my only contribution i think is to say that on both sides of it, on the british side and on the side of the rest of europe, we need to find a process that enables the heart discussions -- hard discussions to take place. those who escalate the rhetoric, it is not going to help and we do not want outcome were people on either side end up cutting off their nose despite their face. keep it steady in the kind of way that mrs. merkel has been suggesting. ryan: there's a lot of confusion about article 50 and in brussels they say it has to be invoked before we actually begin any negotiations.
12:25 pm
theresa may has talked about how it would be useful to have informal negotiations first. in an informal fashion with member states, do you think it is possible to u.k. can get started in this process with a dialogue with important members now, or does it have to wait until next year? sir jonathan: i think all of that stuff will become clear. you're absolutely right, the position of the european council and commission is that until article 50 starts they do not want to start the process of negotiation. i think one has to respect that is what they said. how it hands out in the real world, people have telephones. i cannot foresee. clearly i think everyone would want to be in a position where you can start the process of negotiation as soon as both sides are ready to do so, because i do not think it is going to be quick and i think
12:26 pm
therefore the sooner you start, the better that is for everyone. ryan: jonathan hill, thank you so much for your time. that is britain's outgoing commissioner in financial services. he is stepping down because the u.k. has voted to accept the european union, something he did not want to see happen but nevertheless, it is time for him to go. shery: ryan chilcote talking to jonathan hill. coming up on "bloomberg markets," an exclusive interview -- with ubs' investment banker. ♪
