12:06 pm
live. scarlet: with two consecutive robust job reports, can the federal confident at their next meeting in september? we spoke to richard clarida about janet yellen and the messages she is giving the market. the chair has really had a couple of messages. in may, she was signaling a high of june 15. the communication has been garbled. i think that august speech at jackson hole is important, if she chooses to seize that opportunity with a big fed meeting in september. the bank ofhave japan and england had at the other direction, as a practical matter, is that not constrained? >> point. new york fed president dudley alluded to that. divergence strengthen the dollar, hurts u.s. exports,
12:07 pm
essentially hurts the inflation out for -- outlook. there is a limit to diversions, and there was a surprise easing from the bank of england. >> what would be the number one morning sun for you for equities? >> in the u.s. and the u.k., we have a goldilocks scenario. not too hot, not too cold in the case of the bank of england. what could make the stories our would be a surprise from china. a year ago that happened. i am not predicting it, but if you are saying what would be a worry, that would do it. the other thing would be a replay of the taper tantrum. a more hinted at aggressive policy, we had a selloff in bonds, a hit to equities. that would be a surprise move out of the chinese, and another taper tantrum could change the dynamic. right now i it is positive for growth. i want to keep coming back to
12:08 pm
the dollar. another issue for u.s. corporations that could affect equities is the dollar strengthening. that could really constrain it. >> we have had four consecutive quarters of negative earnings. that has been rationalized by strong dollar, weak oil. the consensus is now that is over and we are getting some modest earnings. with the strong dollar, especially if it strengthens -- flight to quality would be negative for equities. dollar index is not back to where it was last year, which is when people would start to reprice the big cats. my question is on the goldilocks. is good news, but the cynic in me says good news is good news to a certain extent. maybe people believe that it is good but the fed will do what they will do. >> that is exactly the story. when i did your show last year,
12:09 pm
there was a question of one and done. and theare in august one and done crowd has certainly had a better call. you are right. it is goldilocks because they see the fed on the sidelines even with proper data. that the question, it seems like the rally is based not on growth on central bank liquidity. would you agree with that? >> absolutely. very specific on this. they are focused on financial conditions, lower negative rates in many parts of the world. investors are essentially going into equities because they are relatively good alternatives. >> ultimately, the valley of the stock has to be tied up with the expected earnings stream. you wonder at what point does that come back and bite you if you don't have those earnings? you had on said uncorrelated assets because you do not have that growth. andou have a shakeout
12:10 pm
everything is taken down, you have to hedge your bets. on equities,factor the discount factor. the fed keeps rates low, the discounted cash flows can go up, even with average earnings, but you are right, the dollar is the key part of this. bill gross is saying to buy gold and assets. a lot of people have been saying this. what do you make of that argument right now, that i do not like stocks and bonds given where they are trading. real assets are what i like? relaxedts are way too about a modest overshoot of inflation. we have had low inflation and markets are pricing in the fed will never hit its 2% inflation target. to me, that is a bad bet. over the next 10 years, inflation will be around 2%. i think the fed has an intent --
12:11 pm
incentive to overshoot. they have been coined but they have been running a policy to overshoot. we could be talking about higher inflation next year, and i think that is the case for real assets. inflation index bonds are relatively cheap now because markets are too relaxed. scarlet: that was richard clarida speaking earlier today. let's get you another live shot as we await donald trump -- actually, we do not have that long shot, but we are awaiting the republican nominee. he will be giving their real on his plans for the u.s. economy. to the detroitu economic club when it begins. this is bloomberg. ♪

before everything great that has happened, the doubters have said it couldn't be done. they actually said it when i ran for political office. it has never happened. prove the ready to doubters wrong. they want you to think small. i am asking you to think big. ready for great things for our country once again. we are ready to show the world that america is back, bigger and better and stronger than ever before. god bless you, thank you.
1:09 pm
thank you very much. >> there was donald trump, wrapping up his economic policy speech at the detroit economic club. about tax reform and an across-the-board tax cut. he would simplify the tax code and cut down the tax brackets. he also talked about reforming canceling all order reaching order and trade reform. specifically committed to a policy in which there is no transpacific partnership. in addition he says he will repeal obama care, the affordable care act and engage in energy reforms. putting coal miners
1:10 pm
and steelworkers back to work. he made a passing reference to boosting infrastructure investment. many of the proposal say he will be unveiling details of his plan in the coming weeks. we want to bring in jennifer jacobs as well as joe weisenthal for more on trumps economic policy speech. we have heard several of these proposals in the past. >> we reported here he would announce all those proposals. what was interesting was he was trying to show that he has a history that compares directly with hillary clinton. he says when she was the u.s. senator from upstate new york she left the area in a disastrous state. he has compared himself to new york city" a news articles in which it was reported that he helped improve new york.
1:11 pm
that he took used to landmarks and regenerated them. he's trying to say he has a history that directly compares with hillary clinton. he was saying he represents the future and he will jumpstart the country. >> drop has policies that are unconventional for republicans. obviously his opposition to freeze -- to free trade. his advisers are some classic conservative thought leaders. can he bridge the cap between his more populist economic viewpoint and their more traditional laissez-faire supply-side ideology? host: he was trying to do that. he was signaling
1:12 pm
he wants to work with house republicans. a week ago he was saying he was not sure if he could endorse house speaker and paul ryan that house speaker paul ryan. we may not always agree but we are going to be working for jobs and opportunity and growth. some of my proposals aligned with theirs. his tax cut proposals are very similar to what house republicans and paul ryan are calling for. for the income taxed to be reduced to three tax brackets. he's going even deeper than the house republicans. sorry, 15%. >> we are try to figure out whether or not walk -- whether or not markets or wall street, how they feel about trump.
1:13 pm
to pull away from both sides, i want to pull up a soundbite where he is talking about one of these topics that he was talking about before that he did again today. donald: we will eliminate the carried interest deduction and other special interest loopholes that have been so good for wall street investors and people like me, but unfair to american workers. tax simplification will be a major feature. >> this is one of those things where he is targeting a specific community. what does it take away from the speech, whether or not wall street likes this guy? he wants tomaybe talk about repealing dodd-frank,
1:14 pm
there are these things that are going to put -- on some of these wall street guys. are probably people out there who would be upset by the loss of interest. jennifer talked about he has taken a view on the tax code that has aligned with republican viewpoints, who is definitely liked by wall street. so perhaps that is a way for trump to thread the needle. acting a formand of tax reform. including getting the money overseas back. the attack probably wouldn't go fairly well. different different kind of
1:15 pm
donald trump today. he was interrupted in the first 10 times of the 20 minutes of his speech and he didn't respond to the heckerling. he paused and let it continue. as people heckled him they were then removed from the audience. this was a different donald trump then we have seen in the last few weeks that cause poll numbers to go down. oftentimes he taunts them and eggs on his audience to yell at them. much an olive branch to those republicans who criticized him. are hurting the party with this smash mouth attitude. stuck to that speech he helped others right. >> when trump talks about his economic policies, he references how it makes people safer. also bleeds in very nicely with his foreign-policy.
1:16 pm
does he view himself as an economic problem solver? >> he kind of touched upon both. without security no prosperity. he talked about americanism should be our new credo. he had something for everybody in this speech. he touched upon agricultural interests. he talked about the childcare expense be in tax-deductible. something his daughter feels strongly about. he talked about business tax cuts that are very much targeted he'sd-level executives trying to hit on lower income and blue-collar voters.
1:17 pm
he was trying to spread himself out and say he is the candidate for everyone. >> jennifer jacobs. from washington. thank you so much along with joe weisenthal. we will have more coverage of donald trump's economic policy speech. will also be an economic policy speech, so there will be plenty to compare and contrast there. s&p off by 2.5 points. this is bloomberg.
1:22 pm
: let's head to the trading desk. >> if you look at stocks right now, similar to what we saw more than an hour ago. that is a little bit of a downturn in the overall averages. just a 10th of a percent of a pullback. we do have some individual stocks to talk about on the deal front today. , $2.4ss firm holding billion is the price on this. it is a high per share price. the price is $64 per share in cash. annual -- someme
1:23 pm
analysts that valuation may raise some eyebrows. other mattress retailers and makers are advancing in today's show -- -- today's session. two of the best-known ski resort areas. about $1.05 billion here. you can see whistler is rallying more than that. and then intra-west resorts is getting caught in that updraft to some extent. we are watching fitness technologies today. there doesn't seem to be a specific catalyst going on, maybe an olympic up swing. and we have been watching oil rally today.
1:24 pm
there are signatures to on a ballot in colorado that would limit fracking to some extent. the outcome of that is being awaited. >> a lot of green on the screen. a lot of single stock movers. stock market is expensive but compared to bonds equities are actually cheap and have room to soar. that theory is tough to justify for several reasons. this is looking at the idea of the fed model. bond yields are low, stock yields are high right now. looking at the earnings yield on the s&p, which is earnings overprice. look at the spread on the bottom. we are pretty elevated relative
1:25 pm
to this longer-term average. thisally in order to even equalt for them to become , that means stocks can go higher. the shorter-term average, we are pretty much on par with where things have been since about 2006, 2007. so you don't have a lot of historical backdrop because there is no perceivable correlation between the two. we have to get in and figure out if this is something that is going to drive stocks higher. >> you can have bond yields rising as well and earning yields can collapse. a three ways the gap closes and one of those ways is the only good first docs. yields, we of bond know when it comes to treasuries, those juicy yields
1:26 pm
are what make them attractive to foreign investors but it could be an illusion. what happens when foreign investors hedge against the 10 year yield. can see a big difference between the 10 year yield pickup after currency hedging. hedge and 10 year yield wielded more than half a percentage point more than a .asket when you on hedge it the 10 year yield is four percentage points higher. >> that is so important because it doesn't make any sense. >> we will see. still ahead. today's deals report between jeff mccracken and a top banker. this is bloomberg.

camcorders i'm oliver renick. scallop and and i am scarlet fu. -- scarlet bank and i am scarlet fu. : in a speech to the detroit hisomic club trump says proposals includes cutting business taxes, reducing regulations and increasing energy production. donald: i am imposing an across-the-board tax reduction, especially for middle income americans. ofs will lead to millions new and good paying jobs. the rich will pay their fair share but no one will pay so orh that it destroys jobs undermines our ability as a nation to compete. >> hillary clinton will deliver an address on the economy on thursday. a 51%ary clinton has chance of winning, compared to donald trump's 48%.
1:31 pm
that is according to an election forecast which sites 12 surveys. georgia has not voted for a democratic nominee since -- 10 foreign nationals have been detained over specific ties to a cleric. he has denied any involvement and lives in self-imposed exile in pennsylvania. pay increased more than 10%. compensation, $7.2 million. last month british prime minister theresa may condemned what she calls the irrational -- betweennd growing workers and executives. than 2600 more journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. scarlet, back to you.
1:32 pm
blair efron is the largest individual contributor to the presidential campaign. advising on transactions including procter and gaba 70's billion dollar purchase of gillette. executive editor of global m&a asked how he thinks the presidential race is going for hillary clinton. >> so far so good. how much support we are getting this cycle versus previous cycles. we came out with an endorsement program. your own mike bloomberg. meg whitman to most recently. general motors. and fundamentally if you ask the reasons it is the same three or
1:33 pm
four among the whole set. she is seen as studied and .xperienced to long-term growth, reinvesting focusing atry, little let's -- little less on fourth quarter return. come outthat she has with a detailed plan on the economy. everything from early childhood of through college. and obviously in terms of jobs. and you don't get that from trump. >> does trump concern the ceos because he is not able to stay on message? there will be an interview that diverts him from this path. >> a ceo wants certainty, once stability, and wants ace --
1:34 pm
wants a decision-making process that they operate against, that they understand what the parameters are. that obviously has been a big issue. a consistency, not a long-term planning process, and a ceo looks for a precedent and that level of steadiness in a leader is really what leads the ceo to make the investments for longer-term in our company. >> how do elections impact m&a? back through the years, how has impacted m&a? >> it is a big difference when an incumbent is running versus when each party is running it for a nonincumbent candidate.
1:35 pm
andand -- and mendes lows for different reasons. it is not because anyone wants to see who wins. i think there is a perspective hillary will be the next president. it is more what will the leadership do at that point. what kind of policies will be put in place? we obviously in the u.k. with brexit. fundamentally you are going to advise a client that you wait for a little bit of certainty before you make such strategic decisions. now we are in august getting it to labor day. expect that to have impact on and a day. i think you are already telling clients that if it doesn't need to happen tomorrow for some sort of particular dynamic, sit back and see what goes from there.
1:36 pm
>> is that what played out in previous years? that slowdown and concern? >> it was a very difficult to thousand eight economically. much more stability and much more certainty. you can hear this in the discussion when you are in a board room. , the perspective is how do i beyond ast 2017 and opposed to how i think about october and beyond. sortu haven't been in some of discussion, chances are pretty good you would hold off on that. hillary's term as almost a third term of obama's term? i know that a republican would say.
1:37 pm
>> the first two terms of obama, good. stock market at a record high. growth,y we need more but relative to any country anywhere, the most stable investment economy out there. i think the job is to build on what president obama has done and more. her plan calls for 4% growth and 10 million jobs. so it is building on the success of what it has done, recognizing we need to do a lot more. $2 trillion surplus, not so bad. >> how do the ceos you deal with and the boards you talk to, how
1:38 pm
do they feel about the economy? what is the general viewpoint fair? >> the view on the u.s. is we are a good market. fundamentally since the downturn, growth simply hasn't to really get% wage growth and jobs where you want to be, to get investment where you want it to be. what strikes me is how the management teams have gone through. it's of sluggishness and uncertainty. fundamentally the reason we are in a that. the key to me is how do you get a ceo to be as focused or invest and not just on
1:39 pm
the productivity questions. i think most ceos are looking strongly to an environment helping to foster an environment where they can make those kinds of decisions. >> that was blair efron on how many ceos made a potential deal for the presidential race. may want to hit the pause button. this is bloomberg.
1:41 pm
1:42 pm
blair efron is known as one of the biggest dealmakers on wall street. jeff mccracken asked efron about the ceos perspective when pursuing deals. with athe day starts micro question. do something to either stabilize my portfolio or enhance my portfolio? >> growth does factor in importantly. when you can't grow your business is as much as you want to, it is a way to bolster growth, certainly for synergy. the ceo wants to know here she can take the business and do something more with it to grow that enterprise.
1:43 pm
the most important time for the success of a transaction is the first 18 months following a close. to make an assumption on overall , yound then the wrong start off in a very difficult decision. is difficult. beyond the window of when you might have a sense of when that would be. and then what will that look like under various macro scenarios once you own it? and what will you do once you -- what we do to correct? it seems and a day has slowed down from 2015, which was a record year.
1:44 pm
view 2016 at 2017? fine, down 20% from last year, which was a record. we are running at half the level . m&a is active enough. i think this is more of a market that has longevity to it area last year was an anomaly. you don't have a year where you have 50 transactions. as you start to have a better sense of what the political
1:45 pm
environment looks like you will see peaceful activity. >> the $10 billion deals come is that because people are concerned about the antitrust environment, the regulatory environment. a lot of deals have been pushed back, whether we are talking pfizer deals. is it just companies have to digest all the deals they have done? >> all of the above and more. that you are going to recommend a huge transaction, and not have enough certainty as to when or how it will close, definitely that will have an impact. percentage of deals that are getting done are no different than they have ever been. the affluent number looked
1:46 pm
pretty large. if you took 18 months to close a transaction versus a planning process that calls for nine. that is a big period of exposure to live through a period of uncertainty and still be able to maintain the base business. i would also say valuations are high, the idea that you're going for an asset means you better buy a business that has really good synergy. and for most companies we will potentially have difficulty with shareholders. you need to be very careful about that.
1:47 pm
finally i would say the financing markets. they have been so good for so long. them that was blair efron with bloomberg managing editor of the mende jeff mccracken. a quick checkou on stocks as julie mentioned. momentum.e downward a pretty fractional move when it comes to equities. the s&p and the nasdaq closing at record highs. >> a little bit of a pull away as we said in last week. trading at these levels. let's go to abigail to abigail too little live from the nasdaq. >> as you are just discussing we have the nasdaq down, slightly retreating from last friday's record closing high. also retreating from the intraday record high. we will have to see in the days and weeks ahead whether or not
1:48 pm
that can be taken out. a big reason for the small decline in the nasdaq, we have biotech index. the last several weeks, up 20's percent. speak with a bloomberg intelligence analyst who does not think biotech is out of the woods yet. fact in thed in future see pressures returning around drug pricing. however our team did speak to the head of technical announcement. he said this is a new all market for biotech periods. we are looking at a least a bit of a pause for biotech. netflix down 2%. it is not entirely clear what is behind this. be leftaction could over. time warner is taking an 8% stake into hulu. the surface will offer a

competing service. down more 15% on the year. concerns of declining growth in subscribers. look at the nasdaq, it is not down by a whole lot. what is keeping it from falling further? >> we have one nice biotech winner. beating earnings by 23%. they reaffirmed the full-year view. we are looking at apple at 6/10 of 1%. as a top identified underweight among institutional so you could make the case that institutional investors have become more interested in the apple, there is more room. a better than expected report. also as investors look forward to the relief of the new -- the
