7:01 am
wti in a bear market. 40.77. we will assess all these things, monetary policy, global banking buiter.lem his call, a gdp growth of 2.4%. but first, let's check in on the market. we have a selloff. jonathan: we will break it down. by .5%.e up of dollar-yen with a move up. the bank of japan disappointing the yen. this is bear flattening. the long and stays anchored.
7:02 am
in japan, up 10 basis points there. we will be talking about the market a little bit later. but to wrap it up, it is brent and wti. a bear market at the close. a seven day losing streak. down by 1%. we are trading at $40.77. back to the big news that the bank of japan is keeping monetary tools unchanged. lay out we heard today? >> well, you are right. largely unchanged, that is the headline. toolsin monetary policy were unchanged. there was some easing and more purchasing of funds and there was a doubling of the dollar lending program. bush really interesting was the
7:03 am
fact that there will be a review the policies that have been taken over the past three years. and they will do that at the september meeting. so this was a heavily watched meeting. there was a lot of expectations. it did seem in the press conference that mr. kuroda play down the policy review. the are the expectations of market and what did he layout in the press conference? jodi: well, he had interesting things to say. he denies that the bank of japan is at the end of the policy limits at what they can do with policy. he also said that he wasn't pushed into doing things by the government. two daysovernment, ago, laid out a plan for a stimulus program. an interesting announcement
7:04 am
coming two days before this meeting. so there is a lot of expectation that has been laid out. saying that they can do things and they will continue to ease as needed with the economy being so far from the inflation target. so there is already a lot of expectation. unusual, iteview is has not been mentioned before. we will see what it means. but that is a new wrinkle in all of this. alix: exactly. jodi schneider, thank you. so the end of september. and in between, you hope you find out what the policy looks like. from: a continuing mystery japan. jonathan: joining us now is steven englander. this is more two-sided
7:05 am
and it was meant to sound by the bank of japan because the fact yesterday that they didn't increase the overall program, -- it suggests to me that they are a little bit concerned about how much more they can do. to how fasttion as , thatan hit their targets is something they will be focused on. they havelear that that much more room to ease. alix: when you take a look at the fx market coming up against potential stimulus from mr. abe and the bank of japan not unleashing that, what do you do as a trader? until: i think you wait you see some signs of which way the review is going.
7:06 am
and there is possibility that there is tension here. the headlineshat we were seeing in the run up suggested that they were trying to put stimulus on the table for the bank of japan to respond to. and the tepid program that the bank of japan put out says they want you to define exactly what you will do before they do something significant. -- again, there was a high expectation of volatility. going into september you will see the same situation. positions were more cut in the meeting there the an increased. so traders will be cautious going into september. david: take a look at the mechanics. they are buying 90% of the new issuance of gdp's right now.
7:07 am
owned one third. so the government has to issue more bonds? exactlyi think that is at the ball that the bank of japan is tossing into the court. , ¥7 trillionimulus over how many years, i don't think that was enough for the bank of japan to say -- look. i don't think we have enough liquidity to significantly ramp up purchases. so i think that will be what they are pushing the government to do. jonathan: just to wrap this up. how did the market get this so wrong? quite clearly, the market has a huge amount of uncertainty. but given the move to the downside, does this tell us that the market expected something?
7:08 am
why do we keep getting it wrong with the bank of japan? they continue to surprise. what is the lesson from this particular occasion? steven: i think the reason that -- market gets it wrong although i have to say my tokyo colleagues got it right. the reason they keep getting it wrong is that the japanese economy is very weak. thatou keep anticipating they will add additional expenses but they don't, which is why policy relevance debate is something that is important now. englander, youn will be sticking with us. the market keeps getting it wrong. alix: the efficacy of monetary policy versus the efficacy of earnings and tech is killing it this season. it is all about google and amazon.

alphabet, the fastest growth rate in two years. jump for 21%, a huge google in the premarket. and amazon, if the stock opens at this level, a new record high. the third straight quarter of record profits. you also had revenue growth of the fastest in four years and ,he cloud sales were up 58% delivering more and more of the operating income profits. one minor downside to amazon is that the third quarter operating income was lower as they make a lot of investments in warehouse and content. in the eu, a little bit different. beating forclays the corridor. profit did fall at 53% from last year. of -- but thatme was better than estimates.

beyond the rate of growth reported to me. that is usually the best indicator. but, just as importantly, is that since money is what causes inflation, have been seeing, since the beginning of the year, a significant pickup in the rate of money supply growth. alix: steven englander, he is still with us. so five-year five-year break evens. and you say yes, inflation is here? steven: i agree with the former chairman of the early signs of inflation are here but it doesn't mean that inflation is breaking out quickly or will become an issue for the fed any time soon. i think the fed is going on the basis that the phillips curve is flat.
7:16 am
so they don't have to worry about the pickup in inflation. they will probably welcome it. david: what did you take from the fed statement earlier this week about he subject of inflation? steven: they wanted to stay away from it. they wanted to stay away from any kind of comment or statement that would indicate that some -- they talked up the economy by saying the downside has reviews but the output numbers have recovered. assiduousk they were in trying to avoid anything that would make the market think that september was live. alix: take a look at the dollar index by june. up by 3%. what is responsible for moving it? growth or fed policy? steven: we can is abroad. we have europe and the sterling, because that is what is driving

the next wxy. gross matter some. since march we have taken fed policy out of the picture. a benefit when u.s. growth looks ok. but call it a limping divergent trade. not the kind we were talking about last year. david: take us forward to the bank of england meeting. there willy expected be further stimulus or softening on the monetary policy. what will that do to the exchange rate? will take itnk it down. i don't think that they have a model that 50 basis points will be enough to fix the kind of economic shock that the u.k. is facing. we have already had soft initial indicators. those surveys taken after the referendum suggested things were
7:18 am
slowing down. so i think they will to 25. i think that they will have to at least address the issue of something with more qe in the u.k. has far as you are concerned, is there a limit to what they can do on the rate side of things? do you think stimulus from the bank of england could be positive? steven: you know, i don't think they would intend that but he bogeyed that they are facing is that they have to find a way to use capital flows. directknow that investment is likely to flow because of the uncertainty. -- howissue for them is cheap do you have to make theling in order for environment of wheat growth? alix: so cheaper sterling pushes
7:19 am
the dollar up. is there a level where the dollar winds up crimping any ability for the fed to act in september? steven: i think there is the election reality. and they will have monetary policy become an issue. right now, they are calm about the dollar. , not is a damaged economy nearly as big as they were boring about a year ago. it ikeep referring to think these levels -- they are not really worried. david: thank you so much for being with us. that was steven englander. alix: moving to banks. profits, ubs and

strong quarter, not in absolute , but 2015 with a decent quarter and we are up. think we are building strong results across all businesses. the first quarter, paralyzing volatility. will 2016 be a year that everyone has to get used to subdued activity? >> i think so. macroeconomics, geopolitical -- this is translated by risk aversion. we can measure it in terms of cash holdings. 28%.de the u.s., in the u.s., up to 22%. that is the highest level we
7:24 am
have been seeing for some while. a challenging environment. manus: nice metrics in terms of cash holdings. look at the stock this morning. ,esterday story was mopping today it is about cost cuts and that is my sense of where the market is going to focus on the back six months of this year. fx andu saw there was the equity story. jonathan: with the bank operating in a low environment, what does it say about economic advising? manus: low rates have pushed the ceo to move his return on tangible equity. isthis low rate environment an environment we saw -- last year we saw five or six rate
7:25 am
hikes coming and that is not on the cards. that, a sticking with key issue. i thought it was fascinating when he said the social implications in terms of a fundamentally low rate environment. jonathan: manus cranny, live from stearic. thet to have you with us on program. today butas a miss what i thought was interesting was that a 25 basis point cut with the bank of england won't have an impact on us but zero will. you can already hear the calls from the leaders of the big banks in the u.k. with a message -- we don't like low interest rate policy. we don't like what we see in switzerland or japan. it has been a real

ruchir sharma. , "though many americans see the u.s. as deeply ad hoc to china, the fact is that china is more reliant on easy money for growth, putting the state in washington's hands." is tom keene, and this is a timely piece. you look at the bank of japan and what england is doing, it puts it in perspective. tom: using the phrase -- exorbitant privilege. ruchir sharma is absolutely correct about exorbitant privilege. not only the dollar but also the politics and economic that backs up the dollar. it is the strength of america, politics, as you saw last night, an original position of america
7:35 am
that leads us to be the dominant force. david: and he puts in his piece numbers that i didn't have in my head, two thirds of the world reserves are held in dollars and 90% of trade is dominated in dollars. i didn't realize it was that high. tom: very important within the media blast of the bombardment that we have of negativity about the u.s. and trade economics. ish that said, the headline .hat trade has been soggy david: one of the things he points out in the peas is that it is great that the u.s. is powerful but it limits what the fed can do because it has to worry about the world economy. tom: absolutely. no question about this. -- looking for temporary dollar weakness which is way opposite than the consensus.
7:36 am
most people are looking for a non-brutal strengthening of the dollar. -- what is really important it is friday in july, we are all distracted and we can't be. we talked earlier about the italians. isthe heart of the matter that everyone is struggling. and what the fed really wants is stability. they don't want to see a brutal, stronger dollar. that janettrikes me yellen has an incredibly powerful and difficult job. anything she says or does could affect the world economy. and she has an exquisitely difficult issue where she doesn't want to talk down the economy. but she can't come in with a price hike because it would strengthen the economy but it would have an effect. tom: it goes to the new theory that is out there.
7:37 am
all of these good people are grappling with things that aren't in the textbook and that sets us up for mystery. david: exactly. ruchir sharma will be here with of emerging markets. he will be joining us. and in the meantime, thank you to tom keene. tune in to him for bloomberg radio. jonathan: did he get paid for that prompt russian mark [laughter] he gets paid in oh ties, which he doesn't wear. jonathan: let's stick with asia. uncertainty of inflation. anding us is sam sweeney note -- joining us is james
7:38 am
sweeney. what was your takeaway as far as the review is concerned? james: i think a review makes sense. they are closing in on 40% of the bond market owned by the boj and moving towards 50% and 60%. it hasn't worked so far and market expectations are swinging around. themweek, people expected to come in and do helicopter money. there are costs of these policies and not having success in the policies. jonathan: it depends on how we define success. you can put gdp per capita up on , it depends on what the target actually is. a declining population, fine. you can't do anything about that with monetary policy. to they have to rethink what
7:39 am
their monetary policy is? james: it's true. nominal growth in japan has been low. productivity, living standards -- not so bad when you look at the rest of the world. i think the problem is that central banks have had lots of benefits from inflation targeting but if you can't hit your targets and if the methods to employ two-hitter targets , andbad side effects markets really start to doubt the credibility. and you have the potential for serious volatility in markets at some point if you are swallowing your whole government bond market. so i think that volatility fear is a substantial comes -- substantial constraint. and the fed hasn't hit it either. but we look at the read of second quarter gdp plus divisions. and i plan to gdp is forecast with the tracking index down to
7:40 am
1.8%. that is versus the white light which is gdp, is that over doing it? james: i actually think our tracking is more like 2.5%. so i think there is volatility in the atlanta fed index, not that different from what we are doing. at you could always have surprise in inventories but i expect a good number today. is geared towards exports so it does have a stronger dollar drag at the end of the day. when you take a look at expectations with the fed, unemployment expectations, the fed is hitting targets closely? james: we have had global growth rise and core inflation rise. and the market has been hold in except for one bad number. the unemployment rate has even come down. last year, the fed told us that if we made progress toward their
7:41 am
target, we could expect four hikes. i feel silly for have expecting expect zero. jonathan: you can't feel silly pa. you were told that this was what they had laid out as expected and we go from four to 12 potential zero. alix: what is the data point that fed needs to see by september and say, we are good? by september, at the election and the volatility think globali growth will slow. i think it is a long shot. be december, postelection, that is all the way up to may of next year which is a huge retreat from the old field. -- the old view.
7:42 am
what i think the market is learning is that when they say they will hike in response to day moving towards targets, maybe we shouldn't listen. jonathan: maybe we shouldn't listen. we talked at the bank of japan and change of inflation targeting. inflation targeting is something that came out of the bank of new zealand years ago. has it had its day? james: inflation targeting has been successful in general in creating a stabilizing force in these economies. the volatility in inflation has been low. employing countries, this. and it has worked in smaller companies -- smaller countries. i think the problem is that you can't always achieve the target. wordf the market goes over -- goes overboard, and you have to do whatever to hit 2%, that
7:43 am
is unrealistic. so we think monetary policy doesn't have effectiveness now. that is what a lot of people in markets think. of course they won't do whatever it takes because they have a phobia of volatility. they don't want markets to go nuts. one central it is bank that is not scared of markets, it is the bank of japan. james sweeney, great to have you with us. alix: coming up, drilling down into earnings. googleand alphabet join to sweep estimates. what is the best buy for you now? this is bloomberg. ♪

7:47 am
and i think you are seeing some increased investment in content relating to prime video. but overall, correct. this is now several quarters in a row of improving origins. alix: it seems like the market has become comfortable with that. there is a gang buster rate and making up more of the operating income. that you doof it is check and talk to competition. there are other competitors but nobody like amazon. thisave limited price cuts year. and that business is just growing and cushions other investments. quite ironic that it does that. does that grow or change over the next 6-9 months? jason: it is operating at a much

8:32 am
they have been revised to the final state. it is a small negative. domestically generated growth in the u.s. is weakening. maybe because of election uncertainty. dragging thee world down into a growth recession. that happens elsewhere, in europe or possibly china. david: go to fourth quarter 2015, the same random numbers and you can pair them over time -- >> they are slowing down to somewhere below 2%. may come down a bit. slashything to really one's wrist about. alix: i also have some more data.

earnings estimates. $.47, much better than the estimate of $.32. i'm also looking at production, that was slightly light at about 2.5 million barrels per day. i want to go through the numbers a little bit more to dig a little deeper. that is a different take than what we saw. jonathan: let's get back to the u.s. gdp number. two quarters of softening growth. let's talk about companies wary of investing in the global environment. looking forward, and your experience, -- in your experience, there is a terrific amount of uncertainty.

how difficult is it for a business to operate in this environment? >> very difficult. if one of the candidates gets global, certainty of trade wars. you have to invest in this environment -- no, you hold off. i expect this to be reflected in capex data. alix: the first quarter was revised down. the fourth quarter was revised down. the third-quarter was flat. the second quarter was revised down. does this change the fed projector he -- trajectory when they look at longer-term growth being not as strong? >> it should probably. never believe the gdp data --

this is key. -- even less likely to raise rates this year and beyond. warning tois is a the fed that the economy is probably not as strong as they thought and the implications for policy obvious. do less and do it well. david: gdp numbers are not the numbers to look at. what do you look at? , filtered payroll data. very noisy, but more interesting and more predictive than gdp david -- gdp data. household and business. for the rest, you talk a lot to your cabbie.
8:37 am
you one thewill pay fomc. fomc.ill you on the >> the fed should stop paying attention to much to the short-term response of markets. the fact, more than any serious central bank, appears to be the captive of the financial markets. they used to respond excessively to what the financial markets did. act in response to the fear they have about how the market response. the market will do what it does. think about your target and your model of how the economy works. think is the proper action and what the market sort themselves out?
8:38 am
jonathan: the monetary policy committee, we talk about global uncertainty. let's talk about domestic uncertainty in the u.k. now. do you target inflation or do you target output? inflation, at some point everything is interchangeable. it is clear the bank of england with the incredible volatility of inflation, an environment of rapidly depreciating sterling, is a lousy indicator. uncertainty is massive. the bank of england could certainly deserve its name. just the bank of england and wales. if it gets to that, there will be further uncertainty. the uncertainty is pervasive.
8:39 am
hopefully later this year, the fiscal will come through and they can monetize the fiscal stimulant. jonathan: that is a huge adjustment in anyone's book. what do you think the adjustment needs to be? 120.ound that is just my subjective view. i would hammer away if i had control of the instrument on .ates, go to zero on balance sheet expansion, not so much qe. qualitative balance sheet expansion. you have to do what you can.

9:06 am
we had a small first quarter. companies went into the stock rooms and sold what they had. that lines up with the idea that we have seen weak manufacturing numbers. inventories, a huge cut in inventories. off the gdp.% we would have had gdp at 1.4% which is what everyone thought if it were not for inventories. david: at some point they have to build them back up? michael: absolutely. more. q4 should be we don't have enough stuff to sell. that is the problem now. and right now, consumer spending has been strong. 4.2% in the most recent quarter.
9:07 am
everybody helped. everybody went shopping. we have the numbers like that in a long time. the forecasts are good for the rest of the year. lousy looking headline numbers but we should see renaissance macros -- saying that third and fourth quarter should be up. -- said something similar but we got revisions and the first quarter was revised down to .1%. so if the first quarter was worse than we thought, how much faster does the growth have to be? achael: you have to pick up little bit more but what we got was the annual benchmark that goes back three years. numbers,ook at those the numbers actually work a little bit better in a prior years. the first quarter was something of an anomaly. so it is a little bit higher
9:08 am
because of the size of the economy which makes it little bit harder to make significant process going forward. joining us now is ruchir sharma. head of emerging markets. here we go. but fiscal good spending is not so great. how does that evil through the rest of the year? ruchir: this is how the economy is going to progress. havend to forget that we an anchoring over the last three decades. world, the after crisis seen, the u.s. has been flow back come through with the international weakness. much stronger than they used to be 10 or 20 years ago. and that is what is coming through here.
9:09 am
alix: so when you take a look at how the fed winds up interpreting data, how do they do that? ruchir: i think the fed is stuck in a bind. even though the u.s. economy share in global economy has declined over time, 23% today, the role of the fed has never been as great as is the case today. because the fed is so powerful today because it really is the only reserve currency with the u.s. dollar. and that has increased over time. and if you look at the world today, never before has the dollar been as widely viewed as it is today. so this is really what the fed faces. nomadic what is happening in the global economy, it is a central bank. david: does that give them a dilemma?
9:10 am
the mandate is what is going on in the u.s. economy but it has to be thinking that everything that is being said about the global economy. does it limit what they can do? take a look at the statements out of the fed three to four years ago, they said that it was the world's problem. but for the first time, last january, they explicitly mentioned -- as a big factor and since then, china and brexit keep finding mentions in the fed. that cans not the fed a fedo the mistake, it is that finally understands that it is the investment bank of the world. jonathan: a fed with a global view, that is how any business would view the world as well. i wonder, with that in mind, why should business spending come
9:11 am
around? it has gotten a whole lot worse, hasn't it? ruchir: i think the global economy remains in this low level equilibrium. 2%. ad historically, there is growth rate that has been considered to be a global recession. one big shock away from the global recession. what is really having a big impact on the global economy now is china. china are the only two economies that matter. and china slowdown has been having an impact on a u.s. investment spending and on some of the profits. so in this connected world, look at china as to what is going on out there and it is coming back to the u.s.
9:12 am
the fed is finally fully understanding that. ruchir sharma, i want to say he is also the author of a terrific book. now we will turn to what you need to know outside of the business world. shery ahn: hillary clinton says she is ready to lead. trumpe once that donald can't be trusted in the oval office. at the democratic convention, hillary clinton excepted the party's nomination to be the official candidate. she belittled donald trump's claim that he alone can solve the nation's problems. she said that a man you can bait with a tweet cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons. take taxit is wrong to breaks with one hand and give out pink slips with the other.

¥28 trillion stimulus plan? what will be the effect? ofhir: we have lost count how many stimulus plans japan has had over the last 15-20 years. doon't see that all of these not do much for the underlying economy. and it goes back to the problem about what is the underlying problem with the economy. if you look at the per capita income of japan compared to the united states, it has been similar. better demographics then japan had. but going back more further, there is a real problem in japan with productivity, it is a closed system. that the fundamental problem is that people don't recognize that japan's trade is barely .5-1%.
9:18 am
jonathan: we judge monetary policy now by currency. we judge abenomics by a currency fair. the dollar-yen. this is a rich, rich country. the way we talk about it is a central bank trying to solve the problem. it is an incredibly rich country. how should we view japan? how should the authorities view their own economy? ruchir: recognizing the trend growth rate in japan. the labor force is contracting, it can't get much bigger than 1%. rates ande growth make widespread cultural changes, some of which they are credited with. down to the major demographic headwind. one of the things is
9:19 am
participation of women in the workforce. so that has happened and that number has gone up. but the second-most important is immigration. on that front, we see a big world of deportation and japan never accepted immigration. so it is very hard for japan to grow on behalf of that. and the stimulus policies are a japan has toecause cut corporate tax rates, find women in the labor force -- provide a sugar high. list: in your book, you destabilization. depopulation, debt -- ruchir: debt levels have been stable. de-globalization -- that is not a pretty picture. ruchir: but these forces impacts
9:20 am
the entire world. brexit was an outcome of these forces, in a way. the weakest economic recovery in history. populous inn this many parts of the world. but my concern with the picture is a bit more varied. i would be more concerned about china. china is impacted by these. for the first time, china's population is spring getting -- population is shrinking. real one.s a but talking about politics, the issue -- one thing i would point it is people is that opposite to believe that you will have right-wing extremists come to power and populist party -- look at how politics is evolving in latin america. we just saw the election of the in argentina and

tell us about what you think he has done right? years ago, if you had told me that the russian economy would be in such trouble with the oil prices, i would have thought he would have taken a more populist approach. increasing fiscal spending. instead, he has been going the more classical orthodox way. which is where you focus very much on telling people we need to be prepared for a long amount of time of belt tightening. morning dids this not cut interest rates. thet isn't even lecturing central banks. he understands that his back is to the wall. and he is doing this relatively well. david: it strikes me from your piece that one of the advantages he has is that the russian people can enjoy pain.
9:25 am
-- 14,000 to 18,000, that is an amazing cut. but what you have to offset that is the naturalistic popularity. that is the message across the world. the only leaders who are able to have strong incumbency are useers who are able to nationalism and putin is doing that. this is a leader we like to bash a lot. front, sometic credit for playing well. david: one quick answer about turkey, host the coup attempt. where is it going? ruchir: it is quite simple. turkey has come out weaker. it has been good for the
9:26 am
president, because it certifies his power but for turkey, it makes it much more vulnerable given how dependent it is on oil capital to grow. david: fascinating. , thank you for being here. he is also the author. jonathan: coming up, it is the market open coming up on "bloomberg ." futures are a little bit softer as well. futures are off by three points. switch a keyboard, the big move in the fx market is the dollar-yen. a stronger japanese yen and yields lower on treasuries. this is bloomberg. ♪ ?c+sv

9:31 am
correlation between u.s. stocks and oil prices. we saw the correlation of every. rate. operate -- evapo now it is not as usually tight correlation. a fine point on it, the decline is the seventh straight decline. longest can verify, the living streak since january. we saw oil hit the low in february before bouncing. it is now down again and close to entering a bear market. that is relevant to the earnings report. we heard from exxon mobil, chevron, and philip 66. coming in below estimates, margins under pressure. chevron posting a quarterly loss, the third straight. those shares down 1.4%.
9:32 am
phillips 66 beating estimates. the chemical business doing better, but it's refining margins are also under pressure and those shares are down as oil prices fall this morning. of course, the green this morning is coming from the big tech earnings. that is why the nasdaq for the moment is holding on to gains. amazon.com profitable. services counting for 56% of the operating income. only 9.5% of revenue, but it is a profit engine for revenue. the company has been spending more on opening fulfillment centers. our for that coming out with the beating estimates. they benefit from more mobile users using its search products and ad businesses. nonsearchs other businesses growing in sales by
9:33 am
33%. that is encouraging to investors. we heard from ups, related to amazon. shares are down 1.6%. earnings batching estimates. it has been in a fitting from the rise and online shopping and the shipping that goes along with that, but some were disappointed they did not raise the forecast is that accounts for, or possibly a counsel for the decline in shares at the moment. amanda: no real drama in this market. the nasdaq up by 1/10 of 1%. the s&p 500 marginally negative. the dow down to 10 soap 1%. insee where the problem is the equity markets, becoming a small and did cap stock. give me your view. what will the story be for 2016? capsr take is that small

had a good run off the bottom with a 28% gain. valuations are rich for the small cap market. domestically oriented and they should benefit from that. is the our argument dollar will strengthen. with the dollar strengthening, you will see small cap underperform. we will wait on the reporting season. s&p is more than halfway through the reporting season and we are one third of the way through. i need to see earnings growth accelerate for small cap before i get more excited given where we are in valuations and that the risk of the markets go up given some of the softness in data. what we are seeing in europe and japan. from the election cycle. that tells me that risk proxies must go higher. small caps do poorly with that.
9:35 am
amanda: we get have a conversation about risk all day. volatility has stumbled. how surprised are you? areen: it is shocking we below the historical average. if you look at the intraday difference between the high and low, we are at a five-year high. -- we areing, quality thinking that quality should caperform in the small market. we like higher quality tends to outperform when the market shudders a little. everything quality looks cheap. the way we think about playing it, i like the consumer discretionary sector. that is a play on domestically oriented, good numbers in terms of the revision trends. the gdp number was weaker. if you look at the retail sales
9:36 am
numbers, they have been good. if you look at another sector, industrials -- even though it looks like it has foreign exposure -- it is average. manufacturing in the u.s. will do a little better. the group is relatively cheap and has not performed as well as other areas. we like the real estate sector because the dividend yields are two percentage points higher than the 10-year. it would normally be 140. >> one thing that struck me was that you have several retail picks. you have urban outfitters, american apparel -- why are you confident in those? steven: i think it will be individual stock collections inside consumer discretion. it will be more about trying to capitalize ont

the overall business or brand. we rely on analysts in putting together. they like individual stories. there is a way of outperforming the market. if you will outperform it will be stock selection. consumer discretionary gives you more stock selection, individual name ideas. 2013at if we get a tantrum? yields in the 10 year moving up. how does that shake out in u.s. stocks and in the small cap names? steven: we like to see interest rates rise a little that means the economy is doing better. small caps do better when the rates are going higher and the economy is doing better. there's a correlation between earnings and sales growth here discretionary will benefit. they will also benefit from a better economy and rising rate. thank you very much for

9:46 am
that was number one. number two was production goals were week. -- were weak. in part because of what is going on in nigeria with rebels sabotaging the industry of the country of chevron and exxon. those are two problems that they are suffering from. obviously there's a third problem that is well known, the price of oil remains low. much lower than it was two years or three years ago. chevron8 for crude and $36 for its crude. exxon underway, what has been the big take away? javier: analysts were concerned about increasing the concern about what would happen with refining margins in the third quarter. we saw a positive with $1.7 billion. let's remind ourselves that that is the weakest for exxon mobil

since 1999, the time of exxon mobil. that is the take away. analysts will be asking questions index on mobile and for chevron about what is going to be the outlook for their intake in the second half of the year. companies at the moment are failing to make enough money from their operations to pay for the investments in new production facilities and for paying into shareholders. a couple of numbers from the presentation of chevron, they had their conference call later today, the first part of the year chevron spent $14 billion in investment in projects and paying shareholders. over that same time, they made $5.1 billion. you can see a huge gap in what chevron makes in money and what it is spending.

9:51 am
one complaint to you here in the technology business is that you think amazon services are hosting, but you switch to a google business, and may have good numbers as well, but it is a sticky business. and people use amazon, they stay there because they are architected around it. the result is 2.9 billion dollars in the quarter that ended, and the growth rate is growing faster. it is bigger than ever and growing strong. david: on alphabetic google and what we heard yesterday. cory: the key drivers for amazon, alphabetic, is google alphabet.s as part of youtube is also having tremendous success. that is more expensive than search. youtube has been very successful. , you get a much higher rate. the revenue as well. cory: you also see that they
