5:04 am
that is the wrong number on oil. west texas intermediate right now, we've got that. on to the vicks, it's back to normal. so much for complacency. we will get to that of a moment. futures are below 18,000. deal, to see that emerging market proxy and the adjacency of the united spades. carl weinberg is joining us in the next hour. guy: we are talking about the election and what's happening. we will discuss that a little bit later. let's look at the euro dollar. it's rarely budging. the bond market is waiting to see what's going to happen later on. we saw a big move friday. moving,e talking about but not moving aggressively. euroe down 1.8% on the
5:05 am
stoxx 600 at the moment. tom: i like that positive yield. over to the bloomberg, a correction. do you remember what a bear market was? guy is too young to remember that. from the peak where we are right now, this is back over the last four years. off to the left of the chart is a little more volatility. the red is a bear market, 18%. it drives me nuts how people generalize those across assets. you've got to do it based on the standard deviation. in this case, there are the two corrections recently in the last 18 months. there is no bear market insight. guy: the pullback in positioning, when i think of this chart, it speaks to that you we -- that. we have been talking about the nationals in the market short the vick. they don't think anything is going to happen.
5:06 am
we have people writing crazy things. what you saw friday was a big move higher. you can compare it to what's happening to the vicks on my bloomberg. that move is substantial. it's a big move. i think positioning is going to be important in what's about to happen next. we have the global head of deutsche bank. let's get his take on what's happening. >> i think on thursday and friday last week, we had the ecb disappointing some of the market by not easing policy further. the bank of japan is starting to make noise about more central banks easing. .he fed is in limbo nobody knows what the fed is going to do. they came together in a bit of a perfect storm and caused investors to have a fright. everybody is getting
5:07 am
excited about this re-think. is this something they want to seeneer? are we going to that? is that something central banks desire? >> they may have got a little bit too far in terms of aggression. it was not there intention to flatten the yield curve. we can see it's not great. i am a big believer that the yield curve is a great indicator of animal spirits. when you've got a very steep yield curve, people can put entrepreneurial trades on. you can invest out the curve. when you have a flatter curve, entrepreneurialism does not work. in that sense, i think central banks are at least considering that maybe their policies are starting to cause problems in the market. isot of the market reaction
5:08 am
-- i don't want to see an overreaction. get change in policy, it's not going to happen overnight. it's going to be a gradual thing. tom: let's look first at that yield curve. good morning. this is a vanilla curve. , they look at a lot of different spreads. curve flattening is below 100 basis points. there is a little bit of steepening there, but nothing near the repression -- recession level. i know we like to talk about tenure and two-year, i noticed it's a little bit dicey. what is the state of the oil in the engine right now? is quitery short and technical. end is quite technical
5:09 am
. i don't think the fed will move. price the market for higher probability of a move. is the emerging market adjustment, this will be a theme thate next hour, is adjustment we are seeing, does that tell janet yellen what to do? >> it's a one or two day move. i think it's quite clear that if , there a huge selloff are a number of assets that would be affected in the emerging markets. that would be one of the first to be affected. i think yellen knows this. i think she is getting close to being one of the most dovish on the committee. some are more prepared to risk the consequences.
5:10 am
guy: let's wrap the conversation up there. we will come back to you. we have a bit of news that will catch your eye. they are going to be leaving the boe. we have a decision coming up later on this week. she will be going at the end of 2017. she is going to be joining the london school of economics. we will have more on that story. we will talk about the bank of england further on down the road. this is bloomberg. ♪

5:15 am
your colleague makes very clear we are going to spend a lot of time on instability in the coming weeks and quarters. where are we on that metric right now, the idea of re-fleeting doing it with painful instability? last several years now, central banks of stabilize the market. the financial system is fairly weak, the global economy is fairly weak. central banks have stabilized it. is centralhe fear banks deciding they can't do any more and want to store up a little bit of ammunition. we could create more instability into the market. point, you do have to translate to a different policy. it's whether you do that gradually or suddenly and how it goes about. that is what is back the markets a little bit at the moment.
5:16 am
tom: this is something guy has been showing every day, bring up the chart. that white line cutting above zero, that's the german 10 year with recent negative yield coming up. when you look off your desk at the shift from negative yields to positive yields, do you just assume that's a normal process with stability? jim: it's really the weight of money. the ecb is lying and enormous amount of government debt. there are not a lot of bonds around. there won't be for a while. i don't think the ecb is going to change course. iny extended the qe program december. the ecb at the moment is most likely still going to continue with the same policy. they may fiddle with eligibility. they are not going to change too much in the next few months.
5:17 am
mario draghi, i wonder what he is talking about. what he did say was the review carryinghat the boj is out is something they would like to take a look at. change't they really what they are doing? jim: they always tend to review. i think they are starting to be more sympathetic. perhaps a continuation does have side effects. -- they did not have the same side effects. when you are in negative territory and interest rates are negative, it does have a side effect. guy: the corporate credit marker, issuance is off the scale. central banks probably one of the ig market to be part of the
5:18 am
investment process, we would see large companies investing in stuff that would make productivity better and we would live in a better world. that is not working very well. what are they looking at in terms of the review process? what is happening with the ig market? how does this all fit together? to say it's love the biggest bang and most important thing to the economy. that is a small part of their qe program. i think they implemented it to give some variation to get a higher qe level. in europe, companies are still fairly conservative and still fairly defensive in nature. being able to our own a few tenths of a percent less, i don't think they're going to be aggressive. u.s.,s was done in the
5:19 am
u.s. companies would buy even more shares back and do m&a activity. there is a different culture in europe or you don't have that gung ho animal spirit. qe has lowered the borrowing costs. a lot of the deals are refinancing -- refinancing. him we are going to talk to briefly throughout the hour about wage inflation and wage growth and it's dropped to a different animal spirit looking at nominal gdp. mexico, and emerging-market reactions are a clear and present danger. carl weinberg will join us. we will talk about the peso at 19. from new york and london, this is bloomberg. ♪
5:23 am
5:24 am
in the past? is this time different? jim question the fed will be -- they will be reluctant to get above 35 or 40. it makes it difficult for the fed. there is a slight change and you can hear the slight emphasis. maybe six months ago, they would have cared more about the markets than they do now. i don't think it's a huge stage. they are leaning more shopping the market than they would. this is to be taken seriously. i think they need to say we are in charge. we are not lead by the market. the market should be led i.s.. do you think that should've happened before greenspan? banks, to now
5:25 am
suddenly be a bit more on the hawkish side, they have to be able to take the consequences of doing that. they may be prepared to do that. i understand august was ridiculously quiet. it was deutsche bank's fault. we get that. the idea of 3.8 standard deviation, it gets my radar up. when you go to your desk this morning, what will you be watching to show that we are containing a brutal move? marketthink the treasury is probably the first point. we don't have a lot of time to wait. it could get a lot worse or better weekly. there is agine today bit of a waiting game for the next several hours. treasury is the first point.
5:26 am
tom: thank you so much and congratulations on your new length of decade-long some of our cycles and what we may see. london school the of economics. we will talk about american policy. the idea of a secretary clinton, her illness over the weekend and donald trump. the presidency of donald trump would be a substantial adventure. from new york city with the freedom tower in the distance, this is bloomberg. ♪

there seems to be a disconnect between arrays hike and what the market believes will be the rate hike. as we have noted in the research , we do expect that over the course of the next week or 2, 8 we could see even today, from ne of the federal reserve members speaking, the higher probability of every hike will the strengtht on of the dollar and could see some weakness into oil. guy: i'm trying to understand what will happen next. if we have finite demand for oil, we will seee will technology overtake its usefulness. we will see the developing market shift away from hydrocarbons. what is the most rational way of policy.
6:09 am
is it to pump as much oil as you can? >> i think the problem right now is they are caught between these two conundrums. on the one hand, if they come to any kind of agreement or urge to an agreement, they spur on additional demand. that also results in a reduction of their market share. over the longer term, any the price goes a little higher, they that they are not eating into the long term demand of the commodity. that is why they face this issue. on the other hand, if prices stay too low, they face the prospect that they could actually reduce the amount of cisco reserves and they threatened the overall economic strength of their country. it is a bit of a trade-off that they have to face month to month. at this point, the can continue to pump as much as they want. tom: we will come back on oil.

rates and commodity prices lead to overinvestment, overcapacity. i do not see that going away anytime soon. we will see oil prices down in the dumps and commodity prices in general down in the dumps for a long time. michael: commodity prices will definitely remain down in the dumps for some time. we are starting to see the investment cuts in other commodities that we are seeing already in oil. for oil it is different because there are different types of oil that are needed. we are seeing very strong indications that we should not see inventory draw as we come into the winter time frame. guy: michael, who is out in front on this? the mining stocks in london are baking -- are being hit hard today. when you look around the market at the moment and you guys do your research, what do you see? glencore is cutting there.
