we know more about that then we do know about trump. i think she will be fine. >> you are a supporter of hillary clinton. doesn your support, what mr. trump need to change his message? >> i have not thought a lot about it. one thing, he should change his economic plan. out with a report on his economic plan and concluded that if it was economy wouldhe shrink, the gdp would shrink, investments would fall, and employment would fall. you have one candidate who has proposed a plan that is a sound one which others have said will
2:24 pm
grow the economy substantially, 3 million jobs over the first four years. you have another candidate whose proposal would shrink the economy. seems to be we will end up we willuation where have different parts of government canceling each other out in the next administration. is that your sense as well? no, that is not my sense actually. finished election is and the new administration is in , a lot of her economic plan centers around infrastructure, but including college affordability, capping childcare costs in relation to household income and so forth, will be able to be passed. >> there does seem to be a sense
2:25 pm
that maybe the infrastructure story will be something the republicans can get on board with, but it probably ins there there. where do you see the more difficult battlegrounds lying? both parties support the idea of big, new initiative at the federal level on infrastructure. in recent years at least in terms of how to pay for it, so i think that is an opportunity for a bipartisan agreement. is immigration. i know it is a politically charged issue. i think there may be enough members of the republican house caucus who realized that that party has to reposition itself at the national level in order to compete seriously for the

new york. commodity markets are closing in new york. we start with agricultural, sugar hitting a high. gold is trying to snap a four-day losing streak. finally, oil plunging today, settling down 3% at $44.90 a barrel. the supply glut is seen as persisting into next year. for more on oil, let's bring in our guest. still calling for oil hitting
2:31 pm
$80 a barrel next year. i thought it was $60, right? we are looking for oil to be in the 60's by this year and 2017.ing by $80 by the industry does not need $80. supply can be managed in the 60's. ,f supply will be shrinking psychologically you could see $80.ment take oil up to >> can you walk us through that? given this iaea forecast, talk persistingupply glut , that would seem to be a big headwind for prices. what we mean?
2:32 pm
yes, inventories are high. inventoriesry of looks like it's heading in the .ight direction global inventories shrank in q2, are accelerating in the current andter and into q4 throughout 2017, so that is the recipe for higher prices. that we getumbers every wednesday from the department of energy in washington do not tell the whole story. that is only one subset of global inventories, may be as little as a fifth. if that is what the market focuses on, and the tendency is for excessive attention to be paid to these weekly numbers, that is not the whole story. gettingis the iea wrong? more think demand will be

2016, 300,000 barrels a day higher than they are. non-opec supply 2017nes would persist in in the event that oil prices stay at current levels. remember, we are looking for oil to be in the 60's by the end of the year. in that scenario, supply is turning higher in the u.s. and several other countries as well. if we assume current oil prices persist through the budget cycle for these companies looking at 2017, that is the recipe for steep supply decline, another year of production rolling over in 2017, and demand would be more bullish in that scenario because lower prices will
2:34 pm
stimulate greater demand. >> something we have not touched on is the meeting, the opec meeting, and there has been talk about whether there will be new production agreements. where do you stand on that? isour stance is that it irrelevant either way. this is a pr exercise. they move prices on a day-to-day basis, but isdamentally speaking, opec not the real issue for the oil market right now. , saudince two years ago arabia and particular, has signaled they are happy to let prices set to where the fundamentals will let them settle, and that is what we have seen. if opec says we are going to freeze production, reality is that most opec countries are already producing as much as they can. in fact, some opec countries are seeing production decline for different reasons, like nigeria
2:35 pm
and venezuela, so for them to pledge stable production is completely meaningless, or pr. >> would you imagine that oil prices would rise to $80 a year, the companies in your universe are they going to up their capital expenditures? >> if we are right about oil prices, they have to. with oil below $50, it is virtually impossible for any player in the industry with the rare exceptions to increase production, and if demand continues to grow, whether it is one of many forecasts, supply k forever.in
2:36 pm
capital expenditure has to get into a more sustainable level of investment out of the current austerity mode, and that will only happen with meaningfully higher prices, $60 or higher. >> thank you for your time. we appreciate it. prizes are just below $45 a barrel right now. in just a few minutes, more on the outlook for oil with top dudley. .- bob dudley he joins us in an exclusive interview. let's check the headlines on first word news. peres is hospitalized after suffering a stroke. a spokeswoman says he is sedated and on a respirator. held virtually every senior political office in israel over seven-day guides -- seven decades.

"bloomberg markets". i am vonnie quinn. .> i am julie hyman we start talking and focusing about interest rates, this is a chart looking at the percent moves for these two different groups, the brighter blue is the move in the financial sector, the darker blue is the utilities. movesn see the utility have been bigger with more volatility.
2:43 pm
look at friday. that is basically a big move and utilities. financials today are the ones losing more. the utilities group overall. today, it seems like a lot of the moves are related to energy companies. today may not necessarily be a dividend referendum as they were on friday. over the course of the past year or so take a look at the chart year to date, this is looking pretty good, this rally up from the february lows, financials getting knocked around a little bit in the past couple of days, but if you think about the expectation, the hawkish commentary on friday, financials held up ok. so itwas more weakness, called into question the theme that seemed clear on friday.
2:44 pm
you look at some of the companies in the financial sector,. wells fargo not doing too hot since the big account scandal, hathaway,berkshire also interesting because they have a big stake in wells fargo ting hit pretty hard to. >> thank you. appreciate it. what happens when prisons run out of prisoners? . we went to investigate. paul joins us now. what is happening to the prison population. >> there was a plateauing and a is at decrease, and this big problem for companies that had depended on the growth in
2:45 pm
the population as the generator of their growth. we have had announcements that they are considering or have decided to pull out of private prisons altogether. >> when you hear an announcement like that, what do you do? >> they are saying they saw this coming a few years ago and had begun to diversify away from traditional prisons and toward corrections,munity halfway houses, check-in centers, and other types of facilities and oversee people who are not full-fledged inmates but are still in mashed in the criminal justice system. that population looks like it will be growing in coming years, so that is where the industry seems to be headed. >> thank you for joining us. coming up, argentina has a

why are you so encourage by the market? >> bp has been in argentina since the 1950's. for the last 20 years, we have had a great joint venture, 250,000 barrels a day. i am really encouraged by what i hear and see. >> what you think is going to happen here. have spent time with the government and president. they are saying all the right things. of the momentum just starting. people,ture, great natural resources. i am excited about it. >> bp has been here for a long time. you know how in trench the bureaucracy is in this country. you know how powerful organized labor is. you know how deeply corruption runs.
2:50 pm
are you not perhaps concerned that the president is over ambitious and what he might be able to accomplish here? >> it takes enthusiasm and ambition. i think the corruption tape is being cut. there are two kinds of countries around the world, those with red tape and those with red carpets. everywhere i go, it is the willingness to cut through red tape. you can't do it overnight, that huge different messages in the last nine months. >> how thick has the red tape been in this country? >> where has argentina been, it has not been on the radar screen for almost a dozen years. suddenly it is. people are beginning to see it. those of us who work here see the tremendous change in the needle. dynamic cabinet for the president. >> here is where the rubber hits
2:51 pm
the road. the p itsdetermine if investment in argentina? prices are low, hypercompetitive for capital. is a business that is making money, even through these low funding prices. the business you have here is making money? >> it is. we have some upstream and some downstream aspects, so you have to think of it as an integrated oil company. work. a lot of people to argentina can be self-sufficient in time with natural gas. the right conditions are here to completely change the country. >> i will go back to the question, what determines -- is it the oil price or what this government does that will
2:52 pm
determine if you invest more here? it is the efficiency of the industry. the government has to move towards the free market. the cost structures are coming down. it has to be competitive for capital around the world, so it is the cost efficiency and infrastructure, but also the size. if i had to say where i think this is going by the end of the year, i think we will be making further commitments to invest. >> you are not ready to make them yet? >> i think we are. that is why we are here. that there is a great desire to make this happen. i think you will see not just bp. i think he was the global energy companies coming here. there is an area of argentina with enormous amounts of gas. think this is the
2:53 pm
second-largest area of shale gas in the world behind the united states, and that has enormous potential. >> how real is that for unconventional oil? date, the only real shale industry is back home in america. >> there have been 751 wells drilled here, not horizontal, not all the techniques are here. what the industry needs is a lot of infrastructure, but the geology and testing indicates that it is there. of need a massive amount briggs and infrastructure pipeline to go along with it. rigs and every structure pipeline to go along with it. geographic aboveground and below ground conditions for this to be quite a successful area in the future. >> how long do think it will
2:54 pm
take? i presume we are talking about years before it is a major source of production. will take many years to be like the united states. when to get the momentum going, rakes, infrastructure, it can move pretty fast. does it compare to the permian basin? >> the permian basin is different. there are sweet spots in the permian. there are sweet spots in argentina. there is a lot of natural gas here. >> we were talking about whether bp would or would not commit more investments to argentina, and you are leaning in that direction, would you do so with bp or your joint venture? >> our partners, we will work together on this. we put it together and have great people and great talent, great know how, efficiency is one of the best in the industry
2:55 pm
here. we would do it with pan america. step back from argentina and look at what bp is doing globally, you have been among the most active among oil majors in green lighting new projects this year. are you done or are you considering anything else? >> we have some more that we will do? >> would you thinking about? >> a big project in the gulf of mexico, a big project in india. we are moving more towards natural gas away from oil. part of that is the long transition for carbon energy, but we have a lot of opportunities. the timing is right and the cycles have been low. it now is the time to get the projects working again. >> where you greenlight mexico and india this year? >> india is possible by the end of this year. around coming has
2:56 pm
up and we will have to evaluate that. we have sanctioned the big project in indonesia for gas in asia. we have to be very selective about our capital, so we are not spending on things that we do not think our not highly perspective. could have exposure to one part of the world and one type of production, what would it be? natural gas where there is a reasonable margin, a local market and maybe an export market. we are investing a lot in egypt right now which has needs and natural gas, but we will look towards exporting later. >> what about shale oil? >> for bp, the obvious place for shale oil is in the permian in the united states. pricey those prices are for bp right now, so we have a
2:57 pm
lot to do around the world. >> you would like to own more there, but not at this price? but we haveght, lots of other things to do around the world card -- the world. >> what about the best teachers -- divesting? haverst quarter, we will time,ed $65 billion over so we have gone through a portfolio and like what we have left, so we have some things to divest, and we will do that, but it is not a major investment program. >> we need to talk about oil price. drilling is picking up in the united states, what impact without have? the supply and demand balances are just about at the so ice point right now,
2:58 pm
think we are in balance and i think of we could see the price to get dollars for the rest of the year towards the end of the year, and in 2017, a little bit about that in the 50's, but there has been more than a trillion dollars in projects canceled. there is demand growth of over one million barrels a day in china, europe, and north america. as long as that demand continues, i think you will see a tightening of the market. will it take before those canceled projects catch up with the oil supply demand balance? >> minimum several years. in talents today, there are in over stocks that need to be draining, but that will take some time. we will see what happens with demand. people believe you can turn the shale and the united states on and off, but it is not that easy in our industry. , but easier than the gulf
2:59 pm
in some opec countries, you thet turn it on and off, so number of briggs in north from 13-1400gone , so it's0-range today not like it was in 2014. , itell me what you think wanted to get around to iran and the nook oil contracts that iran is issuing. and arethink of those, they attractive enough that you could see bp producing oil in iran? history of bp goes back in persia, but the terms are not clear enough to be able to say. hypercompetitive world for capital, it's not something
3:00 pm
you say that is a place we would invest. we also have to be mindful of sanctions and rules. foras to be competitive scarce capital in this world. >> i'm glad we had a chance to squeeze in something. it's a pleasure. vonnie, julie, that is bob bp, optimistic about argentina, and as you heard him say, very close to making the commitment of additional investments. vonnie: wonderful interview. almost got the announcement right there with you, erik. that was bob dudley with erik schatzker. one hour from the close of trading. let's go to the markets desk come where oliver renick has more. oliver: still in the red today as we get closer towards closing up the session. basically what you are looking at is kind of the same. we have flatlined a little bit on the major averages.
3:01 pm
s&p is down 150 basis points. a little bit of strength when you look at the nasdaq. some help from the tech sector, holding on by a thread. big jump in apple today and yesterday as well. let's look at volume. volume on the way down is pretty strong. basically, when you are looking at, the bigger the section, the more contribution this has to the overall blame on the day. financials a big part of trading. even though you are seeing mild strength in tech areas, the s&p is not able to get lifted out of the doldrums. financials are big part of the market and today they are not doing well. you look at energy as well. a big chunk of the volume from
3:02 pm
the energy space. as far as market cap goes, not a giant part of the s&p 500. finally, you can see what is happening because of oil across the energy stocks. crude oil down about 3% on the david hasn't been doing well. ei saying we will see a glut going forward. not good for these big energy companies -- exxon, schlumberger, chevron. you take one, they are down across the board. julie: another thing that has been a factor in his most recent selloff is that stocks and bonds are selling off at the same time. a little unusual historically. oliver: right. today we came in, bonds were kind of flat, stocks were not doing so hot. honestly, that was not the story on friday. here is what is happening in the last couple of hours. the u.s. 10-year treasury spiked up in yields. not doing too well.
3:03 pm
you have got to go back to brexit to see move like this. has he really accelerated the stock moves. things have been generally pretty flat the past hour. this is something to watch. that has been a big part of the market, the correlation between stocks and bonds. they have been going up together and guess what, might be going down together as well. julie: we will talk more about fixed income in a minute. thank you so much, oliver renick. let's get to "first word" news. mark crumpton is in the newsroom. mark: the cease-fire in syria's civil war appears to be holding. there have been only minor violations. the truce was brokered by the united states and russia, and the goal is for it to hold for seven days. israeli warplanes struck syrian artillery positions after a shell hit the israeli-controlled part of the golan heights. israel says antiaircraft missiles were fired at its planes but miss. singapore's is the number of

3:06 pm
get much different than what you have. it will talk about some growth and some concerns that something -- i don't think you will get clarity. we really haven't, anything about the fed, for quite a while gotten much in the way of clarity, about what is their direction what they are trying to accomplish. julie: that makes your job kind of tough. >> it does to a degree. more difficult for a bond investor's job -- let's be honest, go back in history, greenspan was never very clear, either. a lot of the fed not being clear is not necessarily new. it is not the u.s. in negative interest rates. europe has negative interest rates, japan has negative interest rates. money flying out of this markets coming to hours and distorting activity here. vonnie: this is why the bank of japan is talking about moving out of the maturity rates it will start buying. you have to have 65% of your portfolio in income generating instruments.
3:07 pm
that has gotten more and more difficult. where is the income to be had? >> the difficult thing we find at the end of the days you sit down -- this is for all fixed income investors. you need to have a discipline you stay with. ok, iill then tell you, will get some income, more income, or less. long-term, you are fine. short-term, ok, i'm going to probably have to accept fairly low levels of yield for a period of time. not only to i have that restraint, 70% of my assets and high-quality asset, something with a rating of a or better. vonnie: what gives you conviction that over time it is going to right itself? visit growth, inflation -- is the growth and inflation, the path to normal, whatever that is?
3:08 pm
according to lael brainard that is zero now. >> i look at things and maybe a common sense manner. i realize that for long periods of time you will not be able to lend money to someone else and then pay them to take the money. that is unsustainable. in essence, what the negative interest rate policy is. at u.s.ealized looking with more of a zero interest rate policy and go, ok, that is in conflict with a significant portion of your proposition who has aged. vonnie: but what makes you think it is not common sense it wouldn't continue? >> well, our view of not continuing is i look at the element of persons doing the borrowing and i'm left with really it is the government that is doing the borrowing more than the individual or the corporation. i look at that in total involving vs. -- in borrowing vs. gdp. i looked at the government continuing to borrow money.
3:09 pm
i will probably not get the central bank to buy it or somebody in europe to buy it. the saver is probably going to want more than a 10-year treasury -- 175. 150 150 mother so ago. years, probably not a lot of people who will let into the was government for 175 for 10 years. you look at that and go, ok, once you get to the economic -- probably want to have a higher yield to do it. at the same time because yields have remained so low for so long, you have had to make adjustments to your business. explain to us how that has worked. >> we have 2 objectives we are trying to accomplish. we want to get a positive return in a 12-month period of some sort and get cpi plus 100 basis points.
3:10 pm
that is what we are striving to do. in an environment where i have a central bank policy that wants to run very low rate or negative real rates, zero interest rate policy. accomplishish -- to one of those objectives i have to take on more credit risk. that is not what investors hired me for. back to the discipline. peter discipline the same. -- keep your discipline the same. thing to do for my client is to reduce my feet. vonnie: top allocation, mortgage backed securities. 80%? >> 80% of the portfolios in some sort of structured products. most is an asset-backed. automobile loans, equipment loans -- what else do i have in

3:36 pm
has had an amazing year. we have seen a lot of these strategies get crushed, whether it is the safety trade, utilities. do you still like -- >> first of all, i'm not a huge fan of these high dividend stocks, utilities. but what is interesting is given how much they have run and given this threat -- you saw this in the last week -- the interest rates, they rise you would think they would absolutely obliterate. we were getting all kinds of calls from clients saying it is time to short these names or get out of them, what have you. say weome research to are going to make the case on why these are lousy investment, and we look at the data and we said, wait a second, these are nowhere near as bad or concerning as we thought. in fact, in a number of ways, really attractive. that was the epiphany.
3:37 pm
joe: before we walk through why they are so attractive, i'm intrigued by how you say you got a bunch of calls and clients. when you get these kinds of things, is of the kind of thing where thursday there were no calls and friday all the strategies were smashed and they ring you up? jonathan: um, yes and no. i would have to say that we probably we started getting those calls a couple weeks back. end of the summer, what do we do next, what is the market go? at the end of the year they are looking at dividend stocks. you do get these big fat clumps. that is one that has been happening right now. arelet: ok, tell us, why dividend stocks in better shape than he thought? jonathan: the first thing is if we look at how well they are doing, a lot of people think they should go down because they went up a lot. they've been a baton this year. -- been up a time this year.
3:38 pm
in terms of the longer term trend, they really weren't all that stretched. that is number one. not the five-year period, the performance, but the earnings growth was faster than the market. if you look at how much they went out, relative to the market, wait a second, these became cheaper. people were confusing the recent market run with a sector that is actually -- not a sector, but a group of stocks at a discount. and was probably the first more importantly the people were not reading the data the most important thing from what happens when interest rates rise? do these get obliterated? we looked at 25 years of data and we found that normally it is not good, but when the interest rates are super low, the yield is so overwhelming
3:39 pm
that people go into these stocks even as interest rates begin to rise. there is a cut off at around 2.5% of the 10-year before people start saying, with a second, rising interest rates -- scarlet: we are a long way off from that. jonathan: mind you, it is not mean the last three months -- next month will be like the last 25 years, but it is as good a guidebook as you can find. matt: you think we can add another 100 points on the s&p -- 22, 25 is your target. what fuels the extra growth there? jonathan: first of all, i don't think, matt, we will have future earnings growth. the general trend is 3, maybe 5. ok but definitely not inspiring. i know it sounds boring story. companies in this environment are managing cash incredibly well, generating a lot of free cash flow, and returning it. if you look at dividends and buybacks and measured it as a
3:40 pm
yield, 4.8 right now. in an environment where you cannot get -- you know where the bond numbers are. i think it will be a situation where the growth is uninspiring. the economy continues to be very lackluster. starks keep writing higher -- stocks keep riding higher and investors will find this very uncomfortable because they want to see growth moving the market. scarlet: how extreme or one-sided is the positioning in these names? jonathan: you know, i don't think it is. think of a professional investor come hedge funds are people managing mutual funds. unless you are managing a dedicated portfolio of high dividend stocks, investors don't like these things. who is holding them? a lot of it is mom-and-pop who are holding them in their own portfolio, were somebody going into a fund for the income. what is different, though, is the low-vol names.

the staples from they are more dangerous, they are more crowded. it is very different story. carlet: 100 question for you, -- one final is in for you, jon. when you see these names rally, does that give you an indication of how we are in the rally? jonathan: this cycle is so different than anything we have seen before. i just don't know how you can measure it. you must have to say that if we are in an environment where it is 1.5 to 2 and you have interest rates at 175 basis points, white wooden people continue to death why wouldn't --why wouldn't people continue to ride this higher? joe: jonathan golub, thank you very much could scarlet: coming up, the bank of japan is losing market confidence. more monetary policy insight from harvard economic

3:47 pm
tell the markets in any way, shape, or form what to do? kenneth: certainly not. they can tell themselves what to do and what the policy is going to be. it does depreciate your exchange rate, but it is not something that last forever. it started a few years ago and hasn't continued. some of it is coming back. exchange rates are very hard to explain. almost impossible to predict. tom: let's look at a trend that says this time is not different. the idea of a mexican peso. we use these charts when ken rogoff's onset. some real success by the mexican ofernment, the leadership professor parsons and others. when you see fragility like this from what is it signal to ken rogoff to see the pace of near 20? kenneth: i think there is

concern about risk and emerging-market with china slowing and the global economy, and emerging markets always respond much more volatilely. question ime asked vice chairman fisher, same as 1994 or particularly 1998? kenneth: oh, i don't think it is a 1994 or 1998 situation necessarily. that said, i wonder if there is in a go races after countries have their emerging crisis. so far we have not seen that, maybe because exchange rates are more flexible now and that provides a cushion. joe: as for the fed, the fact that the fomc is now you to raise rates is not lost on harvard university economics professor marty feldstein. martin: i think the f one for excuses not to raise rates. they did that at every meeting
3:49 pm
all year. stan fisher at jackson hole had the same message, the time has come to start tightening. the people who don't want to tighten don't see the adverse consequences of running with zero rates all along the curve. >> let's talk about the adverse consequences. where are they right now? martin: 2 things. one is inflation pressure. no doubt that inflation is rising. if you look at the core cpi, not the fed's chosen number, but if you look at the core cpi, it is up 2.2%. if you look back a year ago, it is something like 1.7. it is beginning to tighten because the labor markets are tight and product markets are tight. >> but as a practical matter, if you are the fomc, it has been a long time you had a really low rates you have not had -- 2.2% inflation historically is not a problem.
3:50 pm
isn't it rational that what they risk, if itymmetric is raised and inroads the economy, it will be blamed for it? martin: absolutely. they don't want to take the risk. it is a political risk for them. i think their strategy is to keep rates very low. even if they raise rates by 25, are75 basis points, rates still trying to be exceptionally low and will continue the upper pressure on inflation. i think they are having intentionally for the higher rate of inflation so that once they have gotten to, say, 3.5%, theyate of 3%, can jack up the short-term rates. why do they want to do that? if the economy turns down, they can cut those rates. right now they have no ability to lower rates if the economy goes soft. joe: that was harvard university
