julie: you are watching "bloomberg markets." i am julie hyman in new york. mark: from london, i am mark barton. reachedmall ca[s have $113 billion and are leading the post brexit rally. here is the senior etf analyst at bloomberg intelligence. this is surprising. that we are seeing small cap etfs do the best. >> i am surprised. after the brexit, small-cap etf went up. they are beating large-cap. now that their lowball, their leading the charge with the post-brexit bounce. it is julie: a shocker. which small cap etf's are we talking about? >> this is the one everyone reaches for.
10:23 am
let's go over the trading volume . it is unbelievable. it trades $2.5 billion a day. looking at the holdings of this etf, tracking the russell 2000, it tracks the top 25 small caps combined. the reason this is so popular is because the spread is one basis point. it is almost free to trade. if you were to buy or sell the basket of 2000 stocks it would cost 25 basis points. a lot of people will use this for the trading pop. it is pricey at 20 basis points at expense ratio with a lot of mid-caps. it is 40% mid-caps. a lot of people are using the small-cap which is smaller, tighter, and 14 basis points. this has led flows in the past three years.
10:24 am
even though iw when is king -- iwm is king, this is eating into its market share. mark: a quick peek at the german 10 year, it is above zero. it is positive. check out my chart. we are at 0.003%. this is significant, highlighting the upward movement in global yields in the wake of mario draghi's inaction. the ecb did not discuss an extension to the bond buying program. you talk in your notes about long and lend trade that you can russellfrom the ishares 2000. >> etfs can lend out one third of their holdings to short-sellers. basically, most of those people who want to shortstop their head fund. adding up iwm, the revenue, it
10:25 am
puts it back into the funds. it eats up the expense ratio. it should trail the russell 2. it actually beats the russell 53 basis points, nine over one year, 44 over five years, because of the security revenue. this is a case of hedge fund subsidizing the exposure of people to get free exposure to small-caps and then some. in institutional take an iwm and lend it out and get 40 to 50 basis points, a supplemental income play. the little guy can still get free exposure in iwm. if you are tracking or above your index, that is free exposure. julie: let's get really small, micro-small. microcaps, how are they doing? eric: they are lagging. they never do that well.
10:26 am
always look for them to have a great year. what is interesting about is that they give you a glimpse into what the etf world would look like without vanguard. product no vanguard purity average fee is 65 basis points, the cheapest is 50. there are pockets of etf where vanguard does not exist and the fees are quadruple. that is one of the more interesting aspects of microcaps. they are convenient, but very prices. julie: covering etf for bloomberg intelligence. mark: the german 10 year is above zero, the highest since july 15. stay with us. this is bloomberg. ♪

gifts and conflicts of interest. global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. for entity. this is bloomberg. mark? the former federal reserve bank or of indianapolis, president gary stern, spoke earlier and we discussed the challenges facing the federal reserve. >> it's the environment. financialost of the crisis. it is the uncertainty going forward that makes things very difficult. of much of alan greenspan's tenure, for example, that was one long economic expansion. while the fed probably contributed to that, the fed was by no means the key ingredient. the economy was performing very
10:33 am
well. the fed basically -- as long as you avoided big errors, the economy continued to reform very well. this is a very challenging environment. >> gerry, i want to talk about diminishing returns. are seeing a we diminishing return. do you agree with that, number one, and if you do agree with it, what should/can the fed do? >> i think there are a couple things we should focus on in response to that. we are seeing diminishing returns in terms of communication. we have to many people speaking at cross purposes, or at least not entirely clearly. what the fed can do about it, but is not easy, is narrow who is going to speak for the fed on policy. i think that is a good idea. it is hard to execute that idea
10:34 am
in today's environment. individual governors and individual reserve bank presidents view themselves as tong perfectly appropriate speak out on policy. nevertheless, that is part of it. as far as diminishing returns to interest rates, you know, i think you can in some ways declare victory. is it a perfect world? no. is whattion for policy is the appropriate level of interest rates or the appropriate path of interest rates going forward to maintain what we have achieved. i think if you look at what people have put out there in their charts and so forth, the rates are set to go up. i think in my judgment, that is
10:35 am
right. they have the opportunity to go down that path. change topic, gary -- if you went around giving this speech in that speech, what would chair greenspan say to you? would he say, you guys need to stop talking so much, you need to let me run the roadshow? have donelcker would that. >> would he? >> because i was there for some of all's years as a. paul would not have tolerated that. the chairs have been increasingly laissez-faire about it. that was actually my attitude for many years as well. let everybody participate in the communication effort. i have kind of changed my view for two reasons. one, i do not think it has
10:36 am
turned out to be effective, and secondly, i think it diminishes the franchise. by which i mean -- i am not a fed president anymore. i am sitting are talking about policy. that is fine. fed presidents, in my judgment, should not be sitting here talking about policy. they should be talking about it at fomc meetings and so forth. the mandate is price stability and employment. >> yes. >> for you need economic growth. it is a half step away. what would be the effect on economic growth, a modest, gradual interest rate rise at this point? modest atect would be most. i say that for a couple reasons. i do not think inside or outside the fed people are advocating sharp increases in interest rates. the fed is a conservative organization by nature. any increases that occur will be
10:37 am
modest in size and gradual in terms of timing. so, there is that. i do think that the fed does not intend to be disruptive. i think the economy is on very firm footing today. employment gains though have been quite sizable the last several years and the economy it -- quitelike -- sound. quite sound of the moment. reservermer fed president of the bank of indianapolis gary stern saying that the economy looks of them quite sound."s " that brings me to marry of draghi. extendingeven discuss the qe program, which has led,

julie, looking at the 10-year yield, the biggest move up since tuesday march. this is the highest we have been since july. julie, i really quickly want to look at the u.k. 10-year as well. something significant happens. on the fourth of august implemented this huge stimulus round. the 10-year yield after that points andso basis now we are back up to 86 herein we are higher, julie, then where we were before the boe implemented qe. just showing you how this move with yields is very much universal. julie: and we are seeing it happen in the u.s., too. in the u.s., i am watching the whatbility calculator -- you want to look at is this column over here. the probability of a hike as calculated by those fed fund
