2:33 pm
terms of precious complex. gold has been outpacing this year for a number of reasons. it was really a flight to quality. havenelivered the safe return. one thing you may want to look at in terms of palladium is the chinese numbers have been strong, but potentially could fall in the future. we could see the softening of demand. we have seen soft numbers that have been the work in commodities. the relationship between gold and palladium may start to soften of it. it is fascinating because andsee the big drop in oil, this hard landing in china story. you could not be more right.
2:34 pm
there is always a knee-jerk reaction. we hit the commodity lows last year and this year. i would say supply is still an issue. fromve had a real inflow an investor community. a lot of times it has to do more income.ity and fixed in this case it is gold. commodity became of it oversold. demand has come in a little bit better. shery: you send us a very nice graph for total return. precious metals are outpacing. also led by industrial metals. grains and the energies lagging.
2:35 pm
>> going into july, we had a lot of things happening. july was a real move for commodities. it to go a half of the gains. if you look at grains specifically, the expectations are quite good. you have a lot of lead up in terms of the old feeling like it could disappoint. we had such a sharp drop. metal istal or base copper. copper,going on with and is that more of a guideline when it comes to future market moves? copper, you are right. it has definitely lagged the others. i think going into the second half of the year, based metals

2:37 pm
that is also not true. these are often symbolic as opposed to actual plans. they are really just trying to play on main street fears. we can bring it up i think. glass-steagall prohibits commercial banks from engaging in high-risk investment. that paragraph also said an parent link the freedom of the internet was attributed to the federal communications commission. is that not what the gop meant >> i think itph? is for political reasons. there is a perception it is risky to be in investment banking. traditional investment banking all.t risky at what investment banks do
2:38 pm
traditionally is the best efforts are used to write -- underwrite debt and equity. they buy and sell securities for investors, and they help hedge foreign exchange interest-rate and commodity risk. these are not risky elements at all. they do not even a on the balance sheet for very long. they are doing this for political reasons as you suggest. ,onnie: moving on to dodd-frank because that is a reality. donald trump has said he would repeal dodd-frank where at least put a moratorium on fresh regulations. is that a potential? i would not vote for donald trump under any circumstances. hass correct dodd-frank been very negative for the

2:40 pm
they want to get reelected. time. ii am not optimistic but i am hopeful. >> project really european banks banks are less systemically important now. >> yes. vonnie: what would you want to echoplex there is many things. the first thing is the excessive regulation that does not allow the markets to work. we have regulators coming into banks and saying they are more concerned about banks not taking risk. do?efore, what does a bank ist they should be doing
2:41 pm
taking prudent risk. to takelators want them in essence, no risk. they have extremely high capital levels that are beyond any reasonable means. banks are not even earning the cost of capital. the way they do this is to reduce the balance sheet. that means individuals are not getting loans. these are counterproductive. they fail to recognize what crisis.aused the it was not mainstream commercial banking. it was excessive risk taking and banks taking excessive risk. vonnie: former chairman and ceo of wells fargo speaking earlier on bloomberg tv. much more ahead in the next 20 minutes. the latest on the race for the white house. another controversy surrounds ;s campaign while
