7:00 am
jon: rude awakening. the stock market falls out of that. volatility comes surging back. david: the last word on september. all eyes turned to lael brainard as investors see volatility on the timeline. alix: and hillary clinton cancels her two-day trip to hell california. jon: a warm welcome back to alix steel, who comes back from vacation. and a warm welcome back. volatility comes bouncing back to it although in fairness, it is not up to high levels. it is back to sort of the norm. alix: i go on vacation -- what happened? i come back, there is a global bond selloff, yields are backing up. david: we needed you, alix.
7:01 am
there is no alternative come and that is why they are investing. david: it is what you're seeing. it was not the fundamentals of the equity markets, it was the liquidity pressed into the marketplace that drove up the values. alix: notice rick parity funds -- now those risk parity funds -- that is the risk going forward. we will be discussing all of this, plus central-bank policy and the fed's next move and the state of the bond market with peter hooper. that is coming up in just a moment. jon, you are taking a look at the after of that friday bond selloff. jon: the follow-through into asia and europe once again. a three-day losing streak in europe, every industry group trading in negative territory. the miners got hammered in london, the ftse down by 1.5%. in the fx market, dollar-yen lower. the dollar stronger on both of the other -- on most of the
7:02 am
other crosses. positive by about 2%. in commodities, risk off with crude, brent, and the bti coming in at 1.8% there. -- and wti humming in at 130% there. the bond market is where the story has been. up another two basis points on treasuries. we trade 1.69. the 1.5 4%, and the bond market story in the u.k. has been phenomenal. yields spiked as much as 20 basis points on the 10-year in three trading sessions. i want to bring in the bloomberg team from around the world, beginning in london with nejra cehic, covering the european asiats, then moving on to with enda curran in hong kong, and mike regan here in new york. into, the continuous story friday and monday -- what do you see? nejra: i am seeing a stock selloff in london.
7:03 am
today down 1.7n percent. it is headed for its biggest loss is the aftermath of exit. if we look at the bloomberg, at the grr every industry group is down. we are seeing commodity prices decline. you talked about volatility rising. that tracks the eurozone volatility is headed for its biggest jump since january. if we look at the bloomberg, here are three month volatility futures versus the ev stocks. traders are really pricing and more volatility down the line because this relationship is at its highest since 2013. talking about the bond market, we have seen the u.k. gilt market lead the selloff. we saw that happen on friday. in germany, it pushed the 10 year yields back above the zero
7:04 am
we are almost four basis points on that. it is headed for its highest since june 24, these yields in germany up for a third day. finally, this is europe's worst-performing bond market -- portugal. we are at about three percentage points. you can see it ticky higher. jon: thank you. friday, the follow-through into asia, pretty brutal. froms bring in enda curran hong kong -- let's bring in enda curran from hong kong. more of the same as it reaches asia? enda: absolutely right, jon. we saw a bond selloff in the region, in australia and new zealand. it just goes to speak to how the vulnerable -- ciao vulnerable asia is -- it just goes to speak to how vulnerable asia is. ,o not forget that the yuan there is the view that china has gotten quite lucky this year.
7:05 am
if we start seeing money out of asia -- if all that change, we will start seeing money coming out of asia. jon: enda curran, in hong kong. let's bring in mike regan from new york. mike, another story on friday, ringing futures lower. are we expecting more of the same? how significant are the fed speakers coming up throughout the morning? mike: it is significant, but it is not unusual when you have a long stretch of quiet with little movement up or down in the stock market to see volatility come back quickly like this. the question is, what would cause it to stop? i still think this is largely a tantrum after the ecb last week disappointed investors. that said, everyone has other eyes on the fed's next meeting, and the speakers today, people
7:06 am
will be glued to those speeches. to get back to your put about the movers friday were all bond proxy companies -- utilities, telephone companies. that is what makes this dip in the market unusual. defensive groups that perform well in a stock market correction, but since they were the bond proxies everyone had piled into looking for yields, throughout the last year and a half or so, they are the leading groups on the downside. there is a bit of an unusual situation. out governord pick lael brainard's speech -- some people call it fed noise. there were expectations that she would come out with a hawkish tilt. does the market action friday into monday -- does that change at the fed? mike: i think it probably does. if the market freaks out enough, it takes the odds of a fed
7:07 am
increase in september off the table. hillary clinton's health is now a very big concern, and obviously it throws a lot of uncertainty into an election that the markets seem pretty comfortable with her in the league, and now there is a lot more uncertainty going forward with that. jon: mike regan. futures are negative in the united states, equities are down in europe. you saw the follow-through in asia. let's get you some movers and crossover to alix steel. alix: definitely uncertainty in the market and in individual stocks or deutsche bank is getting hit, along with the entire european market. ceo john cryan is saying asset management will remain a central part to the business. there were a lot of rumors and speculation that that division would be sold to raise capital. in a letter to stafford -- in a he said theyffers, are committed to the union. another stock getting hit hard is samsung, the worst two-day
7:08 am
slide since 2008. you had those faulty batteries in the note 7 smartphone. the total cost could be $1 billion, as we look at the 2.5 million unit recall. -- thatllion market cap is molson coors brewing apache. it is a bad two-day slide for this company. company -- those talks are set to end. the issue was where the company would have been helmed. the merger company was supposed to be headquartered in europe, the operational center for praxair. lindein lies the issue -- wind ♪ is down in market share. david: there is another story that may be weighing on investor seminar -- on investor
7:09 am
sentiment, and that is the health of democratic nominee hillary clinton. we saw that disturbing video yesterday of her stumbling as she was being helped into her vehicle. here it is, just after the 9/11 ceremony. megan: we know what happened yesterday, where she was taken away from the 9/11 ceremony. first we were told it was heatstroke, and then that video emerged, showing her stumbling, needing to be helped into her vehicle. we were told eight hours later that she is suffering from pneumonia, diagnosed on friday. she canceled her planned trip to california today and tomorrow, and we expect we will have further information from the campaign. when this first happened, they waited to typical mode, which is a lock down. they withdrew access to the press, and information was pretty scant until late in the day. david: what possible effect could this have on the campaign itself, particularly as this risk -- as this race appears to be tightening? and could it affect the markets?
7:10 am
megan: in terms of the impact on the campaign, the main issue is this has been a type of issue that was always brushed aside as a right-wing conspiracy theory, question her health. several on the far right have been increasingly vocal about it in recent weeks, as she was coughing. and legitimizes that issue and brings it back to the center of the campaign. an increased call for her to release her medical records. the markets have been relatively sanguine. we have talked about how the markets do not seem to have priced in a donald trump victory or presidency. i think you will see part of a reaction today will be about increased uncertainty. you will see people starting to wake up and say this is a real possibility. david: will this cause both camps to be more forthcoming about health records? we have to bear in mind that donald trump is 70, hillary clinton's 68, and neither side is forthcoming.
7:11 am
megan: there will be increasing pressure for both of them to release medical records, and for her to have a full investment -- a full medical workup. they will try to say, do not make this into a mountain. this is a limited incident, she is fine, we will see how it plays out in the coming weeks. david: megan murphy, thank you for being here. jonathan, as if the markets did not have to deal with so much. jon: the 10 year yields, -- we reynardwe have governor -- governor brainard. this is bloomberg. ♪

7:13 am
jon: from new york city, this is
7:14 am
"bloomberg ." i'm jonathan ferro. it is indeed another busy day for the fed before the quiet until begins. deutsche bank says governor lael brainard's speech is an important opportunity. great to have you with us on the program. this speech gets scheduled come and you come out with a note that says this is an opportunity, and all of a sudden we are expecting a hawkish tilt from governor brainerd? y? peter: normally these speeches are scheduled well in advance. we have been hearing earlier in sanweek people like francisco fed president williams sounding hawkish but the market not responding. so it could be a coincidence, but it is an opportunity for the fed to give a message to the market that is very critical. lael brainard is dovish. something more
7:15 am
hawkish, the market will listen. it means janet yellen does not have to give a special interview, which is a little less convenient. it is obviously an opportunity to send a message to the market if they decide to use it. jon: what do we base the assumption on, why they need to go out and do this? peter: it is not terribly effective if they are going to september.g in they have been careful about saying september. i do not think they want to lock that in at this point, but they have not moved the markets. expectationss with and the market only about at 30%, that makes it difficult to move. 50, would like to see it up be a0, without having it major impact on markets at the time. alix: but when they take the opportunity, the market winds up
7:16 am
not believing them. it seems like none of the theish guys -- if you have dove, maybe the markets will move a little bit. thed: the more they talk, less the markets listen to them. is there that level of coordination with janet yellen and lael brainard? do you think she went to lael brainard and sadid please be hawkish? peter: it is possible. these people obviously talk amongst themselves in the halls of the fed. faced with a situation that is pretty much locking them out of moving in september, this is an opportunity to move things. it does not happen that often, but it is i think more comfortable for janet yellen to have someone like lael brainard give this measures than for her to come on and have to do it herself. reaction have market on friday bleeding over to today. you have the feeling of a temper a 2013. a l
7:17 am
does that make things more dovish? jon: if you believe that what is happening in japan is driving global markets, then by default you believe the two guys at the end of jgb's are driving markets. by default, it is two blokes trading jgb's, driving global markets. why should the fed pay any attention to that whatsoever? peter: volatility went up on friday, financial conditions came down at it. i do not think it did anywhere near enough to cause them to move off track, if indeed they want to move in september. the economic case is there. the labor market is doing well. inflation is not quite where they want to see it, but you have been hearing a lot from leadership saying the case is better. a little bit of volatility in the market will not throw them off. if we get a big drop, that is something else. jon: based on what we saw friday and today, there is more reason
7:18 am
to maintain some kind of credibility. alix: morgan stanley saying that the five-year yield, at 1.2%, does show a 60% probability of a fed hike by december. what is the magic number? the treasury market need to be to have the market be ok with a rate hike? peter: the general belief is that september is out, december is in. 60%. 50%ink to get things up to for september, lael brainard has give a decidedly less dovish talk today. we are hearing from dennis lockhart, the atlanta fed president, a centrist. if he gives a strongly hawkish effect it will have an but not as much as the lael brainard speech will have at this point.
7:19 am
the theo you look at brp function, or do you look at end of the yield curve? peter: we look at both. alix: with growth slowing around the world, it will not take much --the way of and they get if of a negative economic shot to break the tension. peter hooper breaks down the five headed dragon that could weigh on global activity, next. this is bloomberg. ♪
7:20 am
7:21 am
let's get a check of the markets for you. deep into negative territory, more of the same after the s&p 500 posted the biggest one-day loss since june 24 of this year. futures down by 1.19 on the dow. in europe, the -- futures down
7:22 am
by 119 on the dow. dollar-yen with a 101 handle. the story in the bond market, starting to differentiate things a little bit. friday was a blanket selloff. today treasuries are relatively resilient with yields just off one basis point at 1.69%. david, it is pretty much risk off commodity. david: and gilts have reacted much more. let's take a longer view on what is going on with these markets. it is time to do a sensitivity analysis on what factors there are that could have the most effect on the fundamentals of the economy. deutsche bank has done just such an analysis, and peter hooper is here to take us through what they found. let's take us to the subject that is on everyone's mind --
7:23 am
when the fed will raise rates. look ate took a with the data said, historically what the activity was in major companies in -- and said action. the fed raises rates 25 basis points over the next two years, it is going to reduce gdp globally by .4%. 2% per year. that is a noticeable negative impact. david: with china being heard among the worst. peter: a number of emerging-market companies are particularly sensitive to this action. but if i could add a point to what eric rosengren drove home yesterday, yes, it is a negative impact, but if they wait it could be more negative. they could have to do more down the road, which means more pay later on. if they do so now, it will cost you. david: so it is not necessarily
7:24 am
an argument against the rate. the price of oil went up 10% -- if that happened, what would happen? peter: there would be winners and losers. perhaps not us up -- perhaps on balance, global activity, not as much impact. consumers this would be a negative, oil prices going up. for producers it would be a positive. we saw this in spades over the last drop in oil prices as a shock. david: at the moment we do not need to worry about it, because oil prices are down. jon: but with what we have experienced over the last 18 to , we've only really seen the negative effect on a net basis. some would argue that with the wouldch you did -- some argue that. with the research you did, what has changed the echo peter: in the u.s., it shifts to core suppliers.
7:25 am
being a negative. but the u.s. consumer overall is looking pretty good right now. i attribute some of that to what has happened to oil prices. globally it is seen to be the plus side of the picture, and i think there is benefit. certainly in the u.s., that is a clear case. david: china -- we talk about it a lot. what would happen if you took 1% off the growth pattern of china? peter: that is a bigger shock than the fed raising rates. up to half a percent or more on gdp across countries, particularly countries who are close trading partners with china. david: particularly asian companies -- particularly asian countries -- malaysia and --gapore -- they will hit they will be hit particularly hard. peter: if you pull together a ,umber of negative shocks that could be at the big negative.
7:26 am
but we do not know if it will be positive or negative shots, so it works both ways. there is a fair amount of uncertainty out there bank. the range of uncertainty around the expectation of noble growth being something in the neighborhood of 3% to 3.5% in the next year, it could be 1.5%. david: thank you so much for being here with us today. jon: clinton cancels california. schedulees her following a diagnosis of pneumonia. that is ahead in global markets. .quities are lower the futures are down by about 100 point for new york city, this is bloomberg. ♪

alix: this is "bloomberg ," i'm alix steel. this local of 30 p.m. in london, and here's what you need to know.
7:30 am
democratic now many hillary clinton canceling a two-day trip to california after her campaign said she is suffering from pneumonia. it followed clinton's abrupt departure from the september 11 commemoration after her doctor said she became overheated and dehydrated. the fed governor will speak in chicago today. mr. last scheduled appearance by the fed official before next week's policy decisions. ahead of that speech, we're seeing stocks fall around the world, following friday's almost 400 point selloff on the doubt. for more on the markets, let's head over to jon. remarkable.nathan: you see the follow-through to asia and europe from friday's ugly session. the dax is down by two percentage points. are highly classes correlated. the dollar-yen lower, is also a stronger dollar story with the bloomberg dollar index up by .2%.
7:31 am
risk off in commodities as you would expect. wti and crude coming in by two percentage points. are driven byly was happening in fixed income. yields move higher on the front end of the yield curve in treasuries, we move up by another basis points to 79. tenure guilt is moving at about 20 basis points over three trading days. up at aboutuild is 20 basis points over three trading days. is how rates relate to equity. that is what we have seen over the last month or so. this is the chart between correlation and of the s&p 500 and the u.s. 10 year yield. what we have seen as a yield into a negative correlation. you are seeing 10 year treasuries and equities move like for like. it's that correlation that makes
7:32 am
this such an important move. a high percentage of equity market is hypersensitive to what is happening in the bond market. that is what we see spillover from high-yield into lower equities. david: fascinating. we talked what another factor that may affect markets today. no fewer than three of the most read stories in the bloomberg are all about hillary clinton's health. they are collectively are morning must-read. joining us to take us through the story and what it means is marty schenker, bloomberg's a senior editor for global economics and government. -- theith the basis basics. what do we know about hillary clinton's health? we have this apparent stumble, and it turns out we have pneumonia. what do we know? much ase know as hillary clinton's people decide to tell us. they belatedly said she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on friday. and still attended the 9/11 memorial. she had to leave suddenly.
7:33 am
it was 90 minutes before we got any word whatsoever about her whereabouts or what was going on. it was pretty disconcerting for a while. david: how significant is this in the campaign? how much worse is it, because they seem to be very cherry in giving out their information? a narrative that been going on in the clinton campaign throughout. they are very reticent to volunteer inflammation -- information. it's interesting to think what would've happened when they disclosed -- if they disclosed that ammonia -- the pneumonia when it was diagnosed. people would be talking about her courage fighting through the pneumonia and attending the memorial. instead we have headlines questioning her health. david: a bank of america analysts has said the markets i have been sanguine because they
7:34 am
think hillary clinton will be president. is it too soon to tell if that's true? personally am skeptical that people are investing their money on the basis of this campaign. everything seems to change day today. throw upctions you can the window. it's not a great environment to be putting money down. david: how is donald trump playing this, in reaction to hillary clinton? he is 70 years old, as opposed to hillary 68 years old. we don't know much about his health. marty: we don't. he promised to issue his medical records. the pressure will increase for him to do so, and for hillary clinton as well. the trump campaign has been told to basically wish hillary well. and not try to take advantage of these questions. david: thanks, marty schenker. bloomberg's executive editor for global economics and government. alix: for more on the market
7:35 am
selloff, what a trump presidency are climbing the polls, doug ramsey joins us from minneapolis on skype. we just talking about the implication of trump on the markets. if the markets are pricing in what does this kind of risk events mean of the uncertainty in the markets? i'm not sure, when i look at the respective platforms of the two candidates -- i don't see a great economic edge one way or another, quite frankly. i'm really a loss to tell you the near-term implications on the markets. alix: we do have david will bank of america saying the markets waking up to a potential trump presidency, there would be a huge boost to gdp, and a stimulus unlike any we have seen in the past decade and gdp could skyrocket. do you feel like that's a
7:36 am
possibility come january, february for the markets? doug: quite frankly, i really don't. he certainly talks in anti-establishment game, the institutional inertia in great that i so have a hard time believing in terms of some giant fiscal stimulus plan -- i have a hard time believing that anything would go through, were he to be elected. alix: that moves us to the news of the day in what we have seen over the last two trading days. the global bond selloff in followthrough today in asia, continues in europe, as well as futures here in the u.s. as the risk-free rally finally run its course? doug: i don't think it's over. we were bearish coming into this year, and changed her tune earlier this spring, based largely on the action of the market. we think that stocks in the u.s.
7:37 am
are pretty significantly overvalued. but the action of the market is far more productive, in terms of an intermediate-term timeframe. 3, 6, 9 months. it would be very unusual to put in a major top here, just given the strength we've seen across the board up until the last week. we made new highs last week on the mid-cap and small-cap indices. it's been fairly broad, especially in the last two months. the high-yield, lowball trade pulled back some. we've seen high beta groups, technology break out and again until basically friday. 7%, butull back, 5% to i think we will be making higher highs later in the year into early 2017. jonathan: let's talk into the high beta groups you just laid out. and evaluations of what we used to call the safer assets. the question i have been exploring on bloomberg radio and bloomberg tv is how you look at these markets and navigate
7:38 am
things when the most risky assets currently are ones we used to perceive is the safest? doug: i think you grow your teeth and go for the more cyclical, higher beta trade. we've done a lot of work on the valuations of those safe havens. it is stunning to see how high they are on a relative basis with the market so close to a new high. utility stocksic trading at 22, 23 times trailing earnings. we look at a premium of low whole versus high beta. six weeks ago, you reached a ratio of almost two to one, in other words, double the multiple on safe havens versus the high beta. that's almost unprecedented. it only see that one other time, in the depths of armageddon back at the lows of 2008, 2009. it's. usual and i wouldn't be surprised to see those stocks stumble quite a bit in a 5% to
7:39 am
7% correction. this raises the question of a rotation in the cyclicals. if you take a look of the ratio between s&p tech versus s&p utilities, tech history to outperform in the last few months. when we have a stumbling opening market like this, do we wind up seeing tech continue to outperform? you talk about the strength in the equity markets, is that a strength tied to the fundamentals in terms of earnings and topline growth? or is it tied to liquidity? and if we do begin to believe that that gets drawn down, what does it do to the strength of the marketplace? look to me -- we looking earnings a little differently than s&p 500 top-down earnings estimates, which are always too high. , all thee a turn here second-quarter earnings results now having been reported, we looking earnings breadth indicator. looking earnings results of 4000
7:40 am
public companies, and the percentage of those companies reporting year on year earnings gains has finally turned up. it was in a multi-quarter, a six or seven quarter downturn. and finally turned up, albeit from a low level. it looks like the market is discounting greater earnings. sort of a trough in corporate earnings power. ramsey, chief investment officer. no doubt, we will be exploring this theme for the next couple of days. jonathan: coming up next on weinstein had a special situation, gives his answer. from new york city on global markets with futures deeply negative, this is bloomberg. ♪

7:46 am
is difficult for somebody like us, who is more opportunistic, to be effective in that environment. when you have the tied rollout, and for the last couple of days, it looks like the beginning of the tide rolling out, it could quickly turn the other day and be an opportunity. david: when does the gun go off for you? when do you say now is the opportunity? jamie: when the fear level is a lot higher. you never bottom check in via things at the lows. you end up buying on the way down. but effectively, when the tone of the dialogue changes a lot of people become very concerned about credit quality, it becomes part of the conversation. you see outflows from fixed income assets or credit assets in particular. that is what it becomes a lot more actionable for us. jonathan: what are the maturity profiles of some of these companies? it's when these guys really feel the pain of crisis in the bond market. that is not necessarily tomorrow, it could be years and
7:47 am
years away. what is the maturity profile like? jamie: is been a lot of refinancing activity. the majority of the activity has been refinancing driven, rather than new issue driven for things like m&a. there's not a near-term maturity wall that people are looking at. there's the much talked about maturity wall after the financial crisis that proved not to be. it's actually companies running out of cash. that's what ultimately happens. we've seen capital markets way open. we take a look at oil and gas, they presented a 5% of those distressed companies that we showed you in the beginning of the segment. you would think this would be a perfect distressed opportunity for you. but money has been flowing into that sector and you are holding off. you mentioned oil and gas, the true default rate, most of the default activity in the last 12 months has been in oil and gas and commodities related
7:48 am
things. more than three quarters of the actual default has been in the sectors. david: in debt service, how to those compare? is the bond rating is efficient surrogate for that, or are you monitoring company by company? jamie: bond ratings are lagging indicator of what's actually happening to companies. you have to have your own financial models and projections of how these companies are doing. at the end of the day, you are tracking cash. alix: what areas are distressed enough that you are putting money to work? jamie: one sector is an industry in transition, not just a matter of what's going on in financial markets but what is happening in those companies. it's been in the retail sector in particular. it had high-profile bankruptcies in that space very last year, even radioshack, which is a large ben grubbs a large vibrancy. this year, sports authority. we didn't invest -- which is a large bankruptcy. this year, sports authority. we didn't invest in those.

production in china. that created a bit of a supply squeeze. day, the targets are going up in a vertical fashion. i don't think that necessarily reflect the long-term outlook, but in the short-term, it is interesting when you see a market more than double in price. the dynamics are very coal -- very different. coal, used in steel production. thermal coal is a very different situation. secular issues as people move away from thermal coal to cleaner forms of energy. you, jamie to have weinstein, kkr global cohead of special situations. guys are like thank you. we've been waiting for it. this could be at. david: he's patient to wait for his opportunity. coming up, the debt selloff has affected bond markets all over the world. that's it off the charts, and this is bloomberg. ♪

8:04 am
what are the realistic chance or she does have a hawkish tilt, considering the data we've seen and her typical stance? matt: those chances seem low. the thing with a late additions to the calendar is the media gets these media advisories kind of late to begin with. the speech was probably scheduled well in advance. what we have heard from her, and what we've done sense we heard from her suggests that she will probably continue to tell the same line. it will be a big surprise if she came out more hawkish today. alix: matt boesler, you are saying the media is behind the curve. it does add more uncertainties in the markets, from the fed and also in politics. david: exactly the point. as if we didn't have enough uncertainty, now we have uncertainty surrounding hillary clinton, the democratic nominee for president. megan murphy joins us from washington. take us into the story about hillary clinton, and would we

8:09 am
it came right back down in terms of expectations for the september hike. at the end of the day, the expectations for a rate move didn't quite change substantially. what changed is the fact is there is a positioning that's happened over the markets it's gotten very built up in a lot of ways. at a certain point, that has to unwind. jonathan: oliver renick, the bloomberg stocks reporter. , we have the move on friday, and after just one day of a move, what do you make of what's happening and what are market participants saying about the action? it's categorically broad-based. every industry group is trading lower today on the stoxx 600. , that'sdown 2% earlier the story when it comes to the industry groups. look at the be stocks and the fear index and the volatility index. this is up for a second day. today's 20% move, is the biggest

8:16 am
market routes, does this concern them? or does it not change anything at all? it changesn't think much. markets go up and down all the time and m&a deals take months or years to get done. you look foolish as a ceo to change her whole strategy -- consolidate, go to a different country, simply because the market is up and down a few percent. jonathan: i hear this, but then i see deals off the back of debt markets, where you can find yourself really teed -- really cheap. the change the calculus when you get a big rates move? final strokes of any transaction, you have to set the final terms. setting those final terms when markets are very volatile is more difficult. pausemetimes do see a like you did the beginning of

reduction. it feels like a lot of sectors have maxed out on those. what would drive m&a going forward? more of the same. try to consolidate your sector and reduce cost, because we are still at a low growth world. it's hard to get topline growth in almost any sector. companies look for how can i consolidate my industry and get some additional sales, and certainly take on costs. jonathan: we you sending your talent at the moment? japan, yields are at record lows. and institutions specializing in fixed income, they were flying to japan trying to get business. where you sending your sales reps? scott: here in the u.s.. the market is by far the strongest. our economy is strong and relative dollars. and in a has been strong willed it to the rest of the world as well. if you look at europe and japan and china in the commodity sensitive places like australia or latin america, they have much

8:34 am
vasileios: i fully agree with you. we are talking about a market that has moved by potentially very small numbers of transactions. i think we are looking at an internal environment where we are going to see central banks talk but largely not doing a lot. largely because we are in a process where monetary policy has risky limitations. with all the moves that we went through in the fx market over the past couple of years, they have started at one end at the beginning of the year and it will be a trend that will carry on. david: them what will the markets look at? they have been looking at what the central banks have been doing for a good long time rather than fundamentals. what will step into the breach? vasileios: first of all, i think this process has started, and it started at the end of the. year. it started with bank canada
8:35 am
saying, hold on a second. further depreciation and the canadian dollar is threatening inflation. and moved on to the bank of japan into the ecb. the market has been gradually coming to realize that. that this is a very interesting question. when these things change and the market reassesses what has been happening and how far away from fundamentals we have been, the process kicks in. what we have found empirically is that what you are away from equilibria and the process starts reversing, it continues very much uninterrupted. that is why i think the dollar is on a multiple decline per year and the yen goes higher from here. central banks will not be an important driver going forward. fiscal policy is what is going to matter. jonathan: is it reluctance on
8:36 am
the central bank's behalf or their limited ability to affect the fx market? vasileios: i think it's mostly limitations. for the fx -- you have central banks with a mandate for inflation. you have the year-over-year change in the price level. in order for the fx to keep on having impact on inflation, it keeps on depreciating. that is purely from a base affect. this will ultimately carry on forever and is not a structural change in the economy. the way i see it, central banks by time for structural reforms to kick in. you need structural reforms and fiscal policy. monetary policy is not going to change the long run equilibrium. david: you talked about the yen and the dollar, but you not talked about the euro. it takes us back to mario draghi
8:37 am
's failure to act. where is the euro going? vasileios: clearly to the upside. the euro right now is between the story of what is happening in the eurozone, which is using to a certain extent because of head when, because we have a political risk priced in. we have the italian referendum priced in, but you also have the dollar store. the dollar is by and large overvalued across the board. more thans been priced into europe. it should be trading at 120, but now trades at 112-115. the bias is for upside. jonathan: what does that mean for one of the biggest shorts out there, the cable short? vasileios: we have quite an aggressive call on cable.

there are 500 basis points more than 10 year treasuries. joining us now is mike from bank of america merrill lynch, who has been warning about fundamental risk to the high-end market -- high-yield market for months. you said that has trumped week fundamentals. is this the start of a big unwind of that trade? mike: i think it certainly could be a start of the unwind. i do not know how big it is going to be. that is really going to come down to what happens with the fed later this month. i think the fed is going to play a big impact to the credit markets in general as well as decisions out of the ecb and into 2016g forward and early 2017 or we have the whole reach for yield argument and the drive toward u.s. fixed income assets. that could potentially begin to unwind as rates go higher and central banks use back on the pedal o a bit. alix: how does that play out in
8:40 am
deeply bifurcated market? does this become attractive on double bees or double sees or does it freezeout from triple s?s to mid b' mike: triple c's have not caught a bid yet in the primary market. issuers,l triple c only a percent have passed the primary market over the last 12 months. that is indicative of a recessionary type level. investors are not clamoring for new issuing on the triple c space. we have seen ig investors and the reach for yield argument has been the reach for safe yield argument. has been more in the double d space and high-grade has been in the aaa space. what i do think is that you have a continuation of easing central-bank policy. if you have $10 trillion of
8:41 am
negative yielding assets, you're likely to see that manifest itself in the single the space. if you get a fed hike in september or are economists think in december, what is likely to happen is that you will have a bit of an unwind. i think you are about to have some risk off and you could actually see that manifest itself in triple c's as you have a bit of a lost confidence in the fed. i think the whole spectrum to get hurt for various reasons. as the status quo's, i think you could see single b's outperform. jonathan: we're talking about a comparative reach for yield . you get the pickup and the spread and you trade the spread. are we shifting perception away from picking up the spread and just looking at absolute yield? historically the spread is not as tight as it has been in the past. the actual absolute yield is incredibly low.
8:42 am
when do we start looking at the latter instead of the former? mike: there are two things to note here. one is the reach for yield argument. let's go over that one last time because what it has been to date is a reach for say field. treasuries are some of the best-performing asset classes out there. far in therformer so ig up until a least a couple weeks ago. really this whole search for yield has been a search for safe yield and not necessarily a search for risk yield. more to your point, on a spread basis, we are getting to very tight levels, particularly within the safest part of high-yield. almost all type of cycle types at high-yield. most do not think about the product on spread terms. most big about it in terms of total yield. remains ands quo
8:43 am
you continue to have massive central-bank policy, i think, as you mentioned, that absolute yield of single be credit looks attractive. i think we are not seeing the bid for triple c's. i do not think that comes back anytime soon and a lot depends on what happens with the fed, the ecb, and the boj. alix: great perspective. great to talk to you. thanks very much for joining us. is central bank translating into the steeper yield curve. bullish bets falling to the lowest level since march. could the global bond rally finally be over? george gives us his trade next. this is bloomberg. ♪

the scarcity bit. hugeacts that we have seen inflows into the u.s. bond markets and slightly higher yields over there and it's more compelling for those investors to stay home with a local bias, i figured this matter. -- i think it does matter. i think we are at the mercy of this premium adjustment and we would see higher rates as a result regardless of what happens. jonathan: i want to ask you about credibility. we had a selloff on friday and a bit of a selloff today. is their credibility on the line for september 21, given the majority of the fomc have all said the same thing, it's all on the table -- a rate hike is on the table? george: the second hike is more important in the first hike and they want to regain the narrative of hiking rates. market probabilities are still under 50%. that, inc.to see
8:50 am
gain credibility for the sake of that, they can do that. the fed is more nuanced and will wherere of a hawkish skip to a close call, but keep the hike alive for 2016. that put themselves in a position where they want to sound tough. let's see if they can deliver. report out onas a friday that the degree of correlation between jgb trading and the rest of the global bond market was .862 wh. why is that? wise the global bond market looking to government bonds in japan? george: it is one big homogenous market ultimately for you can pick and choose your spots and invest your fixed income paper. i do think we are correlated because of the qe programs sucking up all the collateral in the system and forcing investors to sometimes make decisions they would not like to do. i think that correlation remains high. i do think at some point where
8:51 am
we get rates high enough that it actually breaks down the equilibrium of other asset credits and equities. it caps a move in rates. i'm not quite sure we are there yet. alix: part of the thing here in the u.s. is buy the dips. we have seen basis points come down on the long end of the curve. george: i do think the bias has a steep in. this is not the big one that we referred to and a lot of people are discussing. we think the markets are cleaning up positions ahead of the fed and the boj next week. this is not just kind of going to show the markets how we become so sensitive to the central banks' actions. it really comes down to the fed accelerating hikes and regaining the flattening posture. until then, i think it will do all the work. jonathan: thanks for joining us. david: coming up, are we about

david: this is "bloomberg ." you know what time it is -- it is battle of the charts. alix steel has returned from vacation to take on oliver. oliver: i feel like we have similar charts, but i'm going to roll with this. thattory of the day is now bonds are looking pretty flat and futures are starting to person of their losses, but i'm looking at the earnings yield versus the bond yield on the top panel here. it is showing you evaluation where both stocks and bonds are strongly valued. the bottom panel shows the correlation between the 10 year yield in the s&p 500, which is now very negative. and meets a positive price
8:55 am
correlation between the two and that is really important. last time you saw that kind of degree -- you see that temper tantrum. will that happen here? that will be the big question going forward. alix: it is extremely similar and mine supports his chart. this is the net future positions for the s&p as well as 10 year treasuries. you can see they are both relatively high. it is the highest you seen since 2013. are you looking at a potential temper tantrum? levels?t 2013 what kind of reversal d.c. with those net future positions so high, especially when you take into account risk parity funds? they do that so they want to protect themselves. if you cannot protect yourself, you see some kind of watch up washout. any bond market bounce would be modest. more uncertainty and choppy markets ahead.
8:56 am
this is dual and supportive. david: it is pretty much showing the same thing. jonathan: it's another issue for chartause i used oliver's , so i have to vote for him. won.: so alix jonathan: coming up in the next hour, richard chilton overseas $6 billion in assets. from new york city, it's the countdown to the cash open in new york. futures are negative. call it a court of 1%. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪

9:01 am
what he is buying in a very spooky market. jonathan: not much drama and features ahead of the open. futures are down by 10th of 1%. where you do see a little bit of drama is three days of losses in europe. 1.7 on germany's dax. some dollar strength maybe, but a big move capturing some risk off and affect space. a much stronger japanese yen in the session. we were down two percentage points and now only down 1.3%. wti ise up on brent and 45.25. the action has been in yields across the bond markets. yields are much higher than on friday. we are seeing a low bit of a merger in the last hour or so. 10 year treasury yields up around the basis point. yield is up 30
9:02 am
basis points. a really big flat of the last couple of months and a reach for yields in the bond proxies. alix: absolutely of reversal of that and a move into cyclical stocks. individual movers for you -- we want to highlight and ugly, terrible today slide for samsung. it is the biggest today slide since 2008 and the worst day since 2012. those notes seven smartphones keep catching fire and there is a recall of 2.5 million units that could cost the company over $1 billion. looking at its competitor, apple also slightly lower today.

9:04 am
their shares were downgraded to equal weight at barclays. they say that the near-term running situation could be under pressure as the trucking sector stabilizes. it is worth noting that shares of ch robinson did fall slightly through the moving day averages and that could suggest that we are going to see someone downside ahead. alix: thanks so much, abigail doolittle. also joining us from london is mark barton. it is by the dip when it comes to stock futures in the u.s., but not the case in europe. mark: we were down 2% and still we have had a three-day drop. the 2% drop was the most and's june 27. -- since june 27 two only 20 une 27.ar 20 stocks are rising today. last week, the gauge fell to the
9:05 am
lowest level in the year. we have risen today for the second day. since januarygest 4. we are nowhere near the highs we saw pre-brexit. those highs were not near the highs that we saw in august last year when the pboc weakened the yuan. we are nowhere near the levels of fear we saw in june and in august last year. yields are fascinating as john keeps telling us. this is the core that we are seeing in the selloff of asset classes today. just last month, we saw risk low .ields in italy and spain and france and germany, we saw a record low yields in july. we cross zero on friday. we are up to .02 basis points. it is all because of draghi. he did not give markets what
9:06 am
they expected. we expected at least some sort of discussion or extension of the qb program. ahead of mark carney and the meeting on thursday, check out the 30 year yield. the 10 year yield is gaining as well. we are back at those levels where the bank of england stimulus was added to the economy on august 4. the only thing i can give you is that the two year yield is now falling want to get. basically it is read right across a bloomberg today. alix: rising yields sink all boats. jonathan: the epicenter of all asset classes. they hold up richly valued assets and here's an example of that. consumer staples -- the forward earnings pe north of 20 as people were reaching for yields on a forward pe basis. joining us now is richard
9:07 am
chilton, chairman and ceo chilton investments, a company that has $6.5 billion. that chart is example of a reach for yield. you view what you hold them is clearly different way. is that where we are at? richard: it really is. when the tide goes out, you see who swims naked. the global hunt for yield, which has really taken the s&p to the levels that it's that time you look at the best-performing segments within s&p and its consumer staples, materials, utilities, and telecom. people were hungry for it and that is very systematic of what is going on in the world with respect to the global deflation story and the fact that 35% of the world's debt is trading below par. that hunt for yield was real. i don't think it's over. this is a correction. rates will come into play and
9:08 am
come up a little bit and people will freak out and it will sell some of the stuff. it is not over because the world is it really growing. jonathan: you been calling this market a speakin spooky one. are you set up to take advantage of the moment? richard: we use the market to sell. a lot of stocks have done well for us and we put on aggressive short decisions, but we are the lowest invested we have been in three years, both on a gross and net basis. it is spooky because the market -- while everybody was at the beach, it just kind of waffled up. it is spooky because it was so indiscriminate with respect to what it was punishing. if you look at individual stocks, it did not even report earnings or miss earnings. the stocks would be down 15%, 20%. that is a spooky market when
9:09 am
they go out and shoot the winners for no reason. thelso tells me that pullback is happening and it's going to happen and it's not over yet. i think we can pullback on the s&p to 2000. it is painful, yes, but cleansing, definitely. then i think it would be ok, but the market in the face of where we are with corporate earnings, which were good but not great, with gdp growth, which is ok, but let's keep in mind that none will gdp growth is back to levels of 1991 and 2001 at 2.4%. the real level is a little conserving at 1.2% -- concerning at 1.2%. the consumer is starting to show signs of fatigue and i think a lot of it has to do with wages have not grown in five quarters. alix: that brings the question the fiscal policies. the matter who we get in the white house next year, perhaps we get some kind of stimulus. the idea that stimulus is good for the economy would be terrible for stocks and bonds at
9:10 am
the end of the day. david: it's a great question and i'm curious because it's not just the united states. you also hear increasingly in europe that those eight days of austerity are over, which means fiscal stimulus. how does that affect your long-term decisions? when he think about the backdrop of why stimulus was there on a global basis, it was there because of what i believe for a while that the world is in the throes of deflation. we were not growing and we are not going. this grand experiment started in japan and worked across the globe with respect to trying to stimulate growth by lowering interest rates to encourage loans. that is not happening. as been pushing against the strength. with 30% of the sovereign debt underwater and under par, that bigriment either works for works badly -- or works badly. we are not seen the profit growth that needs to be there. as a result of that, i think
9:11 am
that when investors wake up and good,at stimulus is stimulus is not working. we got a problem. jonathan: if we get a pullback to 2000 on the s&p 500, mr. chilton larson to the bloomberg terminal. what is the first thing you are looking at? what are you looking to put the money to work? richard: as investors, we really do with companies. we by businesses that we would like to buy ourselves and try to identify businesses where the prices would be patient to own those. you have reached some levels in some of the stocks that are pretty unattractive. on the other side, the short book is always want to look at. when you hate them the most, and believe me, i hated my shorts the most over the summer. when you hit them the most, that's when you need them the

9:17 am
your costs suddenly rise? that will push the breakeven cost even higher and that means we need even higher oil prices. a debate that is unfolding and no one knows the answer. we will have big implications for the curve of oil futures. let's turn to the trade. joining us now is alan essman a bullseye option. there still looking at potential opec freeze at the end of the month. what is the most important factor leading futures today? >> it still remains the dollar . net-net, crude oil was still up last week. technically it has been trading in the series of lower highs and higher lows. we're looking at a 10% breakout at this $45 level. which way -- not so sure just yet. alix: as we keep eyeing the movement of the dollar in oil, what is the downside potential?
9:18 am
there's always going to be these from the mental discussions, but i'm focusing on the technical action. have at that it did not significant bounce on friday and only a 25% chance for a rate hike. i know the markets may have overreacted on friday. am looking at that not having regimental effect on crude oil. you talk about the ability of the producers to ratchet up production and even make money at these levels. it's important to realize that yes, we always know that there's a lot of supply out there. these producers can manipulate their inputs and they can produce more when prices get hired fo higher, but $50 seems o be the wall right now. alix: what is the downside? are we looking at $40? alan: the downside is $40. if you look at the markets, i am more biased to the upside.
9:19 am
last week had some positive action as you saw the big drawdowns in stockpiles. we will have to wait and see, but i am not convinced that the dollar is going to go a whole lot higher. if it does not go higher, that allows crude to move a drift up a bit. an joining us.ckm jonathan: with equity selling off, where can investors find opportunity? the chairman of one of bloomberg's best investment funds tell us where he puts his money to work. downnew york, county you to the cache open with futures marginally negative, this is bloomberg. ♪

9:22 am
what do you find so attractive about casey's? anhard: when we try to make investment, we try to find a company that has all the characteristics of a great business model that we can on for three to six years or longer. we do a lot of fundamental work. the month of june, i do not get any anthony bourdais and awards for going to the most exotic places. i want to fort lauderdale in the middle of june and when i look to see casey's and cleveland to see sherwin-williams. it is a company we have known for a long time. we just started making investments in casey's. david: their convenience stores. one doesyes and what not understand about convenience stores is that everyone think they are volatile because of spreads and gas prices. that totally changed in the industry for a whole host of reasons. what most people do not realize about casey's is that they are the largest, the fourth-largest
9:23 am
of sellers of pizzas and america. -- sellers of pizzas in america. it has evolved more into a fast bakery,estaurant, sandwich place as well as convenience items. not only selling beer and cigarettes but selling eggs and milk and things like that. through their chain, they sell 2 million pizzas a month. ,hey will generate, i think about $250 million a year just from selling pizzas. to have a robust bakery business and robust prepared food business. if you look at consistency of the cash flows and the fact that in the midwest, they are in very small markets, they can grow for a very long time. jonathan: we talked about consumer staples and i just want to look into casey's. what is the valuation measure that you are looking at? richard: when you think about their forward pe, and we have
9:24 am
them at 19 times next year, but more importantly, they bought a bunch of companies. there are accounting issues with respect representation, which views the numbers higher. this is a cash machine and a song at 11% free cash flow yield right now, which is ridiculous. david: you also like auto-parts. tell us about automation. richard: autozone and auto nation -- i like both of them. they were both hit very hard in the month of august and they're both really good businesses. autozone, we have been invested in for about six years. in a month for no reason other than people think amazon is going to take over the world. amazon has been selling auto-parts for three years. discount to a 20% autozone, but keep in mind that walmart has been competing with autozone for 60 years and sells
9:25 am
at the same 25% discount. amazon is not going to put a major hurt. half the business comes from the commercial side where you need the part in about 30 minutes. stockesult of that, the is a great business. alix: when you take a look at market pick stocks, the is saying to expect more volatility and look at the dividend growth players. how much of that is your strategy? autozone and autonation do not pay a dividend. richard: we like the dividend growers, but we do not look at a dividend grower with a high index by. we look at equality business model. the high and growth companies are the good companies that can continuously grow their dividend because they can and the model is so good that it allows them. there so much free cash flow because the model is good. autonation and autozone could do that if they wanted to. they have chosen to take their
9:26 am
serialsh flow and to be buying back their own bac stock. autonation has grown revenues from $13 billion to $25 billion over the last 10 years. they've cut the number of shares outstanding at over 50% over the last 10 years. having growth and giving it back to the investors. jonathan: richard chilton, thank you very much. we are counting down to the cash opening in new york city. the opening bell moments away with futures marginally negative and equities in the red in europe. from new jonathan: we are moments away

from the opening bell in new york. futures are softer marginally, down by 1/5 of 1%.
9:30 am
wereer this morning we down about 100 points. the losses have remained in europe. ae ftse is over by one and half. if you hear the bell ringing in new york. is a stronger japanese yen capturing the global story. friday, rally we saw that is some resiliency for the treasury market area you can see risk off with the softest session of the samadhi -- commodity market. we are 25 seconds into the session. let's break it down to you. things were not as bad as they were. the dow is around 18,000. it has not been below 18,000 since the beginning of july. futures are coming off the worst .ay since after brexit
9:31 am
there is not as much panic as we saw over in asia and europe. radix, but offhe the lows of those future sessions. the other story is the vicks. chart,look at the today you see a huge run. down,w it take a big leg interrupting this rally that went up 50% over the last two days. this is off the high of the session you saw come into the futures market. we do have some individual movers we want to highlight for you. .olaris is getting hit it was done as 15% earlier. in itsre some delays turbo vehicles on safety issues. that is pulling the whole group down like harley davidson as well. i will look at u.s. steel. indicative of a weaker commodity scheme we saw

throughout the morning. nickel, iron or getting hit particularly hard and u.s. still getting dragged down. its lowest level since june. we see reverberations from the dollar to commodities as well as to the equity markets. i feel like it's a different market today. jonathan: there is some resilience kicking in. has defined global markets for much of the last year. stock and bond prices are moving together. is 10 year yield and s&p negative. when bonds go up, stocks will up. joining us from san francisco is the president of jmp security. kevin it, it's great to have you on the program. let's talk about that correlation. are we seeing that or is it a correction?
9:33 am
think you are seeing a slight correction. what you've got going on is a change in attitude from central banks around the world led by the ecb last week, maybe more hesitation about doing more in terms of asset purchases -- purchases. doubts about the programs put in place. when we come into september 21, when the fed and the bank of questions, there are about how aggressive central banks will be going forward. jonathan: what's more important this -- at this point? >> i think the fundamentals will way out here. whatever happens will be slight and we will take a pause and pay attention. fundamentals will eventually drive what happens with the fed. i think third-quarter earnings will show a continuation of a trend, which is good earnings
9:34 am
from some of the companies we been up watching and muted earnings for the rest of the market. that will put the fed on pause and the first slight rise. i think we will take a timeout and pay attention. that's what we will see for the rest of 2016. alix: we have seen rotation into value, a rotation as well. consumerks versus staples and utilities, tack have started to outperform value as well. if that continues, do we see an unwinding of that search for yield? kevin: what you are describing is the near-term dynamic. we came close to recession like conditions in the third and fourth quarter last year. we turned in the second quarter. that's why you see value, industrial, financial start to improve. we avoided that and we are going to be accelerating to the end of
9:35 am
the year. the longer-term issue is about how fast we can grow from here. that is going to be part of the debate that will happen on the 21st. the question for us is if the fed focuses on the improvement in the near-term growth items or if they focus more on the long-term sustainability of this pick up we have seen in recent months. it is in fact the case, and we don't know yet, at least pullback of it. what does that mean for financials? could they lead the market? : i think it's tough to see financials taking over leadership of the market. there is a backdrop of overregulation, lending has not been a priority for the banks lately. there is a hard time going back to the old ways. i think you describe technology leading the market.
9:36 am
look what happened this year. you see facebook and amazon having the years they have had. you see old companies like microsoft really leading the market. i think that will continue to be a theme. drivenogy has enhancements, running the economy. i don't see financials being the leg up for the market going into 2017. jonathan: i'm going to ask you about education. market participants tend to be some of the most highly educated individuals. is there a misunderstanding of what's happening in the global bond market and what it means for equities? kevin: there are two interpretation. one is the qe programs and the monetary policy has pushed down yields. the other interpretation is credit creation is creating an undercurrent of very weak inflation, a be
9:37 am
even deflation which would argue for lower bond yields. it's curious to see which comes first, the chicken or the egg. the bond market tends to be more feeding at, usually different clientele, and institutional type clientele. that debate is a critical one and one that will be on bond next all over the country. david: one of the challenges for somebody putting in the other , at what -- portfolio point does that break down? kevin: the correlation you're talking about is a short-term phenomenon. when you look at the search for yield that has been a feature of two, ultimately if you take a longer perspective
9:38 am
and look at the relationship between economic growth, the size of the economy, the size of the underlying earnings, that's what dominates in the long run. i can see a scenario where dividends, stocks, stocks of have high-yield potential have a near-term time where they perform. i don't think that's the key thing. how much growth will we see and how much is the ultimate earnings power of the indices you are talking about? the difference between short-term and long-term. jonathan: you are sticking with us. coming up, alledge in's and the markets. at theestors are looking price of political gridlock. here is a picture for you. there is some resiliency in the u.s. equity market. only&p 500 is down, but marginally. from york city, our coverage of global markets and the price action
