around the lows of the session. we had a selloff in european banks that spread to the u.s. we also have concerns about global growth persisting. generally a risk off by us to the markets today. we are seeing the biggest two-day loss in the s&p in more than a week's time. in the meantime, bonds and yields move lower. nearly a three-week low on the 5-year note. the fear factor abroad is boosting the so-called haven demand for treasuries. at the shorter end of the car, a auction. opti u.s. shares are trading at a record low as well, as they did in european trading. 22% drop in shares on speculation that may have to raise more capital.

financials are also feeling the pain today, one of the worst performing groups. of 64 stocks in the financial index is up on the day. if you look at some of the losers today, here you have citigroup, bank of america, suntrust, comerica. it is not just the large-cap banks, but the regional ones are also caught in this downdraft. david: thank you. now let's get a check on the first word news with mark crumpton. mark donald trump looks to apply his new campaign discipline at tonight's debate. he and hillary clinton face off at hofstra university in new york. in recent weeks, trump has risen in the polls. in a new survey, the two are in a dead heat with 46% each. trump leads when third-party candidates are included. debate here onhe

either we will have a safe haven bid that keeps treasuries strong, or we will go into a -- a morenvironment risk on environment where treasuries selloff and riskier bonds continue to rally. right now, we have this extraordinary year where everything has moved up a lot. total return on 20-your treasuries is of double digits. high-yield bonds and emerging-market bonds, incompatible trends. what do you read into that increase across the spectrum? >> it is a little more common in the last of the years with all the central bank intervention. but to have the long-duration bonds doing so well, safe haven bonds, at the same time that you are seeing the riskier bonds do well, moving to valuations we have not seen for quite some time, it doesn't seem to me that that can last. vonnie: let show the audience a

picture of that. see the amount of returns. it has been in every asset class. where is the most vulnerable? >> two places where i would be pretty concerned. one is in high-yield market. defaults are rising, fundamentals are deteriorating as the market is rising in valuations are getting rich. i would be cautious there. international developed market bonds. how much more can central banks push those yields down? if you buy a bond at a negative yield, you want to sell it to somebody at an even more negative yield. david: duration wise, what is attractive to you? 25staying in the three-year your area.

the curve is really steep there, so you get a maximum amount of return for the unit of duration risk. i would not go beyond seven years as an average duration. vonnie: the bank of japan is moving things around for the u.s. yield curve, too. what kind of impact do you expect with the bank of japan now targeting the zero rate for the 10-year? >> we have seen yields move up 30 basis points from the lows, based on speculation that japan was going to make this change. if they succeed in keeping yields above zero, which is debatable, then they will probably live yields and most sovereign bond markets. not hugely, but the idea that they could go to ever lower debts is now diminishing. the debate tonight, 9:00 local time.

to what degree is the election went on the bond market right now? >> it is a difficult one to draw a straight line between the bond market and the election. recently, aseeing, it gets a little tighter, there is a greater degree of uncertainty. you might be seeing people move more toward a safe haven bid. the secondary question becomes, both candidates have endorsed the idea of more infrastructure spending, government deficit spending. what impact will that have down the road, assuming they can get something through congress. this morning, talk about tips getting more attractive. recommendingou be people move their money? we like tips. we think the breakeven rate of

inflation that you need is still well below the 2% that the fed is targeting. investment-grade floating-rate notes, for short-term money, if the fed raise rates as we expect , the income should adjust up. we like investment grade corporate bonds. we don't think they are extorted narrowly undervalued. we think they are fairly valued. they yields are not spectacular, but in the intermediate term, investment-grade high quality bond should do ok. vonnie: kathy jones, thank you. david: one of the biggest banks in europe is in the fight for its life. what is next for the bank and the industry. this is bloomberg. ♪

vonnie: this is "bloomberg markets." i'm vonnie quinn. david: i'm david gura. wall street would have to come up with billions of dollars in additional come at all in a revamp of the fed's stress test. the change would raise the minimum capital targets each back need to get a passing grade. they say they could also scrap parts of the exercise that lenders have criticized. extend tould not the next round of tests here and merrill lynch has been fined $12 million in an investigation into mini flash crashes. the investigation found that they cause 15 market disruptions over two years by sending erroneous orders.

that is your business flash update. vonnie: deutsche bank and its fight to survive and thrive. it will be keeping one eye on berlin, the other on washington. that is where u.s. regulators are considering a $14 billion fine on the bank. should that happen, a synergy -- a senior german official says do not count on german citizens for a bailout. dakin campbellis who covers banks. a chart puts the market caps of citibank, jpmorgan, and deutsche bank in perspective. you can see deutsche bank is really flailing. at what point does market cap become an issue? >> it's a good question.

the $10 a share market is something that everyone looks at . they looked at it with lehman brothers, bear. at some point, this feeds on itself. it feels a little bit like it is beginning to feed on itself now. there would be some who would argue there is a lot more to come on this, or it could get worse. we will have to see. deutsche bank has challenges. david: how important is the veracity of this report? the last time you were on, we highlighted the doj settlement with deutsche bank, which they walked away from. what happens if there is a settlement with the doj? >> certainly, they would like to see the settlement be agreed to, the bank be able to put this behind them. the question is how big will it be? at soc gents -- one

has said 5.4 billion eurosn has said 5.4 billion euros is threshold. anything lower, deutsche bank should have enough money to pay for it. is one reason why shares are down so much. anything higher, they may have to issue shares. that is one reason why shares are down so much. david: have the parties responded to this article? issue new shares at a much reduced price. that would be bad news. nobody thinks it will come in at

14. the question is where it will come. i was having a conversation with a colleague and said maybe pick the middle, 8 billion u.s. dollars may be a place to put it. that is still more than 5.4 billion euro and i will not do the conversion, but that would be about seven billion dollars. anything higher than that, deutsche bank would likely have to issue shares. the threat of this litigation is so central to what they are trying to deal with. what are people saying about how much time they have to figure this out? good question. in reference to the last question you asked, deutsche bank so far has said that we are not going to issue shares, that's not on the agenda. n, we thought, six months ago, thought he had six years runway, but with the performance

of the stock price, it looks like he is starting to run out of time. i want to show the viewers what it looks like now for deutsche bank. 2006, during the crisis, they were a lot higher, but creeping back up again. thanks again to dakin campbell. david: still ahead, how spotify is trying to perfect the playlist and creating careers or musicians in the process. this is bloomberg. ♪

david: welcome back to "bloomberg markets." new music can be overwhelming, but spotify thinks it has found the answer. we profiled the man behind their

weekly discovery service. the whole issue with streaming music is that you can listen to almost any song that has ever been recorded immediately on your phone, but it is too much music, it is overwhelming. the samele listen to stuff they have been listening to, and how do you listen to new music? spotify has come up with a solution. they recommend new music every week that you may like. a lot of these recommendation you to stop -- i have heard the stop, i know this before. it is like the old amazon, if you bought this, you may like this. it is different, in that they are recommending things via algorithms, not just some guy with great taste. >> to be fair, amazon uses algorithms too, but they are introducing you to music that you are unfamiliar with. where they system

pay attention to what you listen to, and they have this database full of music, analysis of music on people's playlist, how they listen to it. how manyke song a, people put song b next to it, and if you have not heard song c too. you may like it, they have a pretty good database to draw from. it is the discover weekly service. they do it once a week, they do it on mondays, and it is a curated list. >> that is the funny thing. i mentioned this in a meeting and a couple of people came up to me and said, i love that service, this is why i have stayed a subscriber. i have not even looked at spotify in about a year because i had joined apple music and had done seen it before. it is kind of amazing. they add a couple of songs,

covers from artists that you like. know you like this, so you may like this stuff. it is kind of contagious. 40 million users have tried it. during the time that discover weekly has been around, they have gained 25 million new users. they are not saying that is why that happened, but it must have something to do with it. david: who is running this for them? when you think about it. he is 36 years old. his career has been in music discovery. you think this stuff is new, but not really. , a companyast fm that developed algorithms for spotify. he does not claim -- nor does anybody else -- claim to have invented it -- but he is a product guy.

he kind of figured out a way, he help them figure out a way to make people want to use this thing. there were people at spotify saying let's give everyone a personalized playlist every day. do you want to hear 30 news songs every day? no, you don't, so they came up with only monday. some people want to recommend 100 songs or so. it is a matter of making things digestible and approachable. sometimes that is the problem with services. they were, but you are put off and don't want to do it. carol: what is cool, you start about anstory talking auto worker that becomes a dj, and thanks to spotify, is now touring europe. they do find new music. >> that is also the idea. people are spending more time on spotify now that discover weekly is working and people are into it.

but they are spending less time with artists they are familiar with, more time listening to newer artists. that is good if you are an auto worker in sweden and you want to be a dj. blow up and all of a sudden you are playing at festivals and everyone is switched on something. that is what happened to this guy. forlso has ramifications the broader music industry, who will be the gatekeeper in the future. david: you can read that story in the latest bloomberg businessweek. the artist he was talking about at the end, his life really has changed as a result of this. tens of millions of people listening to his music now. what is interesting, this divide among music services, who is using algorithms, and who is relying on this rarefied set of enthusiasts, spotify is sort of down the middle.

mathematically driven but driven by mu music. -- new music. vonnie: i am going to have to check it out. coming up, the commodities close. an offer from saudi arabia to output. our take on the prospect for a deal ahead. output. let's get a check on some currencies. 130.37.is stronger at this is bloomberg. ♪

vonnie: welcome to bloomberg world headquarters in new york. i'm vonnie quinn. in new york,ets

let's head over to julie hyman. julie: oil specifically has been having a good day. up by 3%. member, opec meet -- opec leaders have been meeting in out years. there's been a lot of talk about what might come out of it. saudi arabia seems to be expressing willingness to cut production if rival iran does the same. that has been boosting prices today, along with the fact that the dollar has been trading lower. around the high of the session, it has been hovering today. the rest of the commodity complex, this is the energy complex. we are all seen gains in gasoline, heating oil, and natural gas. really seeing that ripple effect across the energy markets. when you take that back and look at the opec strategy over the last year, it has definitely changed. take a look at the bloomberg market year.

this is looking at opec's market share versus non-opec market share. from 33% to 35% over the past several quarters. you see the bump up we have seen in the market share. part of that has to do with the fact we have seen shale production in the u.s. scale brett -- scale back as prices fall. that has to be part of their strategy, their willingness to give up some on the price to gain market share. we will see if there is a turning point ahead. david: for more perspective on the opec meeting now taking ,lace, let's get to dan juergen who explained the challenge is to output cuts. it is also producing a lot of rumors and speculation right now. thatems to be seasonal their production would go down anyway right now.

the sticking point continues to be between iran and saudi arabia. are they both willing to compromise? the answers and differences are very deep. there is a presidential election coming up and they can't seem to be giving away anything. it is a hold, if they are lowering production anyway, but the financial stress, i have heard that they are going to inject into banks to help them survive. theseghest since 2009, do stressors really move their hands right now? they are all stress. look at venezuela, which has destroyed its own economy. there is pressure in saudi arabia. they have over $5 billion in foreign reserves. they aren't in the same position as other countries. the other thing to keep in mind is that saudi arabia set of this whole international energy forum

. that is what the meeting is in algeria. they are irked to have it taken over by an opec meeting. bringing consumers and producers together. >> the third prong is that the potential ipo coming in the next few years with the debt market of this year or next year, what part of those two potential moving events for saudi arabia have to do with that? i think they're looking at a number of different things, including right now the recognition of prices going up with u.s. production going back into the markets and so forth. what your point is is that they are preoccupied with your domestic reform program. the ipo is part of it. these prices now, as opposed to november when they meet, or next year, it's early in terms of the

ipo. that's really where so much of the central focus is. the future of this reform program. >> the only thing the crown prince will carry about at the -- care about at the end of the day, they were near a freeze deal with iran. they got a call to shut it down over like 12 hours. what is the risk of something like this happening this time? dan: quite high. the tengion with iran is so central. neither want to cut production to give more barrels to iran. they are saying they want 4 million barrels per day or more. they have been vague in terms of changing what they want. the depth of the animosity is so great, it makes it difficult for them to come together in compromises. if there wasn't this animosity, it was certainly be more likely that something could happen. right now i think that one outcome they could see here

would be the serious discussion of consultations picked up in november when opec meets. what we heard even a few weeks ago is -- the markets are tightening anyways, opec freezing isn't going to do much difference. now big oil is looking at projects that were profitable at 100 but could now work at $50 or $60 per barrel. is the backdrop different from what we saw eight weeks ago? it is a recognition that the industry is recalibrating to a lower price level. 80.sed to be 60 to i was in the houston of norway for their big offshore oil conference. the ceo of the big company there , $25 on one new project. on rebalancing that's going

to adjust to a lower price environment. vonnie: let's check the headlines now on the first word news. mark: some people are talking beingviewership tonight as big as the super bowl for the first presidential debate. coverage begins here at 8:30 p.m. new york time, including 30 from theeamble bloomberg politics team. plus twitter will live stream the broadcast. we will have more on tonight's first presidential debate of 2016 coming up in just a few moments. protests continue for a sixth night in charlotte, north carolina is the mayor lifted a midnight to 6 a.m. curfew. of emergency was proposed following the fatal shooting of keith lamont scott.

in the mix, trump has a slightly need. ann joins us now with more. explain the catch up over the last week. so much is happening. day by day? who knows. poll,ot just the national which is kind of reflective of the national mood, but you are seeing it in state polls as well , where the elections are won or lost. a couple of weeks ago the bloomberg politics poll in ohio has trump up several points. that.s critical for it does seem to solidify the that there is momentum for donald trump and also some pullback for hillary clinton. particularlye: with women and young voters. that's interesting and a good thing for donald, but is it

enough? young voters and women have always been the core of her success. true in theinly primary contest. she had a terrible problem with bernie sanders over that, but they did come home after a solid convention this summer. the problem is, they don't have much enthusiasm for her. when we look deeper into the tea leaves, they are just more reluctant to vote at all. david: help us with the polling science. the two-person race, the four-person race. what is the use of looking at these major party candidates together? ann: smaller balance for show themany more, those are major parties that are there. the trick is, as we size up the race, there is such negativity for both of those candidates that anybody's name in the

third-place there is going to dilute where people are in terms of a choice between the two. we do it both ways so that we can see the head to head, really understand their strengths and vulnerabilities against each other. that is meaningful to see what the drop-off is there. right now adding extra candidates to the list that we offer is taking more votes away from hillary clinton than from donald trump. vonnie: interestingly, 49% of those surveyed said it clinton will perform better, 39% say that donald will perform better. interesting, they obviously feel that he won't perform as well, yet they think he has a good a chance of winning. there's another little piece of funds data in that poll. it's between three and for that rate her intelligence as accident -- excellent or good.

anyone, an investor is no different, to try to make decisions about one's own on favorability ratings. be aink that that would mistake. boxes checked. vonnie: senate races are probably almost more interesting and could even tip the balance. is that what you're looking at for your clients rather than the actual presidential election? paul: in our report we were considering not just presidential or senate outcomes, but a congressional or presidential senate outcome together. we have four scenarios of the different probabilities to. vonnie: the one with a positive -- david: the one with a positive impact would be democratic president and

republican congress. how do you come up with that paul: looking at the dollar market impact exchange value with price to bonds, that's the most positive for up moves in those three markets over the next four years. vonnie: emerging markets, turkey got downgraded as it approached three point 9819. is this an isolated case? paul: we tend to believe they have significant challenges to work through. that said, the fed has been the main driver and as it looks more dovish, it looks less inclined to raise rates and boost the interest in yield in the country and around the world the benefit

of the emerging markets. fundamentally, it still looks weak to us in challenging going forward. david: i wonder the degree to which the foreign markets are looking with worry that they will have to hold off to see what happens in november? there is potential for volatility around the day of the election. we will see some volatility as winsncertainty around who in the presidential race. those uncertainties remain in the market. as long as it remains on an think thatectory, we they will have potential buying opportunities for investors. vonnie: how poorly other banks performing in the last while? paul: there aren't many

scenarios that i can think of that would be favorable for financials as a whole, although withu have the republican congressional majorities, that could open the door to negotiations or talks about reducing the regulatory burden. even then, that sort of scenario is going to take time to develop . it's not a november 9 or even january 20 story. it is something to keep an eye on. david: thank you. vonnie: coming up, we learned that walt disney is working with financial advisors on twitter. join us for live global coverage of the bloomberg market's most influential summit. including credit siu's -- credit and the ares management

>> are some large banks it may have to leave lublin -- london for dublin? i don't thinknor: this is about the next few years. this is about the next 10 years. it is a profound implication. strategically of britain were to isolate itself, the potential center could be very significant. vonnie: i was connor o'kelly, speaking earlier with david weston. -- that was connor o'kelly, speaking earlier with david weston. david: looking for access to financial records proving that he was forced to resign, the state judge handed gross a partial victory today while placing limits on information that must he turned over.

howard asset management will stop charging existing client management fees on any investments they make to hedge funds according to those with knowledge of the matter saying the changes involved the main fund and the multi-strategy fund. the plan to take a 20% cut of the profits. that is your business flash update. vonnie: turning to a developing story, walt disney working with financial advisors for a bid on twitter. thisre just speaking about , how twitter could possibly monetize its assets. looks like having disney by you could be one way, right? some rumorsard about google and we were able to verify that salesforce had some interest.

verifying that they were working with bank of america. disney has also hired a bank and are going to the process now of looking at twitter for the next few steps, managing those presentations, which will be typical in a case where a company is talking to another company about a potential acquisition. a public company from a due diligence standpoint. say, a yahoo! transaction, even though it is public. part of yahoo! that was being sold. this may be an easier transaction from that. don't really expect a long ten-month drag out process here. ifhave no idea at this point a deal will actually happen. we were talking about what could become from entry between twitter and salesforce. looking at these companies now, it looks like it will be the

company here trying to woo something a bit newer. there is one more obvious way that they fit together. twitter from a strategic standpoint has decided to invest more money in programming. nfl.ruck a deal with the obviously twitter is used to some degree when there is something interesting to watch live. disney is a large television .ompany they have a lot of sports programming. they obviously have their own other tv channels on there. awards shows, things like that, that fit well with twitter. disney uses the platform to promote its own life programming , maybe funneling out its life programming. there could be a strategic vantage -- advantage.

it's just a lot of money to pay for it. vonnie: right. rico throughout a $30 billion number on friday, way over where twitter is mark at this point. if it is $30 billion, that's probably going to be a lot for any company to swallow. there is a reason for twitter to lowball itself at this stage, having some talks. if that number is correct, for sure that number would come closer and closer together. what is interesting is that twitter is at least going through the actual process of being told ok, here's what we expect. we want to hear a bid for you. this was kicked off on friday from a sales force initial interest. there is perhaps some strategy there to say -- let's start the process and flesh out the interested buyers to see who's there. will google jump in at the end? google has an existing search

partnership right now. maybe they jump in at the end, we will see. vonnie: this could get exciting. david: still ahead, options insight with building materials companies at 41% today. ♪

david: this is "bloomberg markets." vonnie: time for options insight. julie: joining me today for jim shooterght is of mk am holdings. i want to talk about the two big news events of the day. one of them that we have been talking about a lot is the debate coming tonight. as has been talked about throughout the day, interestingly my the only direct proxies to this race has been the mexican peso.

you are looking at a version of that, i guess, in a trade .ooking at cemex sort of a proxy for what we are seeing with the peso ahead of the debates? it might be -- jim: it might be. his numbers have tracked the mexican peso, which has depreciated 15% year to date. there aren't that many ways to play. , but withuid products individual stocks there are approximately 25 and only three have options open for interest greater than 80,000. fairly liquid. so --ave about 180,000 180,000 or so. one of the most liquid individual stocks in options terms that people can express a

view about. the peso volatility has been remarkably elevated going into tonight. have we seen that happen with those options also? it's been pretty quiet. two years ago there were five times as many options open. relatively quiet, we think that will turn. seeould be a trigger to some interest coming back into these mexican products. julie: ok, what do you do with the stocks? , that'sterms of cemex something that analysts wanted to see, reduction of debt load and tracking that was profitable on an annual basis after six years of losing money. is mexico'satalysts central bank.

number one, also one of the big topics tonight will be fiscal policy and infrastructure spending. 23% of the revenue exposure in the u.s.. number two, a sort of tailwind potentially if the mexican peso stabilizes or strengthens a bit. what about a headwind for trump gaining tonight or in the polling? jim: certainly a possibility, hasthe same time cemex increasing polling numbers for trump, so what happens going forward? again, fundamentals with tail end for the peso. twitter, disney,

reporting interesting finds. just to finish on cemex, we want to buy the jam. one by to call spreads, a invitation from sales force. it's already worked out pretty well. you need to be patient. leave it there, back to you guys. david: this is bloomberg. ♪

i am mark crumpton. this bloomberg. scarlet: thanks so much, mark. stock markets close in 30 minutes and you have read across the screen with the dow and the s&p and nasdaq in line with falling equities. financials are the big laggard, with deutsche bank shares declining to a record. let's check in with abigail doolittle who is at the nasdaq. quite a selloff of the nasdaq it index down by 20%. biggest to-day drop since september 9. that drop was the return to volatility on interest rate hike fears. we have bonds trading higher with inverse yield and price trading so bit of a rally there in bonds and yields. we also have the yen, clearly investor rallying. we clearly have investors

seeking a safe haven. they are jittery around something, not entirely clear. it could be ahead of the first presidential debate. tracking the most on the nasdaq are the big day today, according to a bloomberg intelligence analyst paul sweeney he says they tended to selloff on reports of a volatility. amazon, microsoft, and others. biotech is selling off pretty big. an earlier -- and earlier a bloomberg intelligence analyst told our team that this could very distinctly reflect investor jitters ahead of the debate on fears that price hikes, drug price hike concerns, could be raised as a topic. hillary clinton last summer tweeted about prices and it sent the sector into a bear market, one that remains.

it is still down more than 25% from its peak last summer. scarlet: hadn't realized that. .ood point, abigail one name is gaining. it is soaring 60%, on pace for its best day in record in 16 years. small-cap biotech is the second biggest boost to the nasdaq apple. real strength there. the company said that their melanoma drug method primary endpoint. fitzgeraldat cantor has $13, suggesting that the 70% today, good more than double here. we go to bloomberg and take a look. this is a long-term chart of the

bank that keeps spiraling lower, what is the key source -- tracy and i were talking about this earlier but what is driving so much investor anxiety here? megan: the investor anxiety this time around sparked by merkel reportedly saying she would not bailout torture bank. that is driven by politics entirely. there is no doubt that the german government would actually bail out deutsche bank. it would be politically unpopular, although i think she could spin it. i think merkel is taking this stand to say to other governments that this is the stance we should all be taking with the new rules, and that is particularly the case with matteo renzi with italian banks. tracy: do you think it is deutsche bank being important to the german economy or to the financial system? megan: i think they'll looking at it through both lenses, to be honest.

if there is a good chance that deutsche bank were to go under or to have a series that would not just affect the german economy and the financial system by the entire european financial system as well. scarlet: deutsche bank is not in danger of failing anytime soon. we are having a theoretical conversation of what would happen if it needed to be rescued in any way. why is it automatically unpopular for germany to rescue deutsche bank? the company is a big employer in germany. megan: i think it is just unpopular to bail out banks generally these days. they are seen to be the cause of the crisis in 2008 to begin with. the merkel administration could say that we bailed out spanish banks, portuguese banks, greek banks. we should bail out our own as well. there is a way to spin it to show that they are providing solidarity. joe: you mentioned that the comments from merkel seemed to be directed at italy, that they

have similar issues. also today in italy we got the official date of the constitutional referendum coming up. anddo you see that looking the stability of the renzi government? megan: there is a good chance that renzi kaluz the referendum and he has said he will step down if it loses. he has made cameron's mistake of time his fate to the vote. -- tying his fate to the vote. it is unclear what might happen. he could end up being told to form a new government. there could be a new election in which case the five-star movement could win. there could be a ton of a volatility and political instability. tracy: aside from italian politics there have been concerns about italian banks. has germany locked itself -- walked himself into a bit of a

corner and potentially having trouble with deutsche bank? megan: i don't think it has been that theays implicit rich countries have slightly different rules than the quarter ones. germany can bail out its banks even ait says, italy, you can't do so. i think that is just another example. scarlet: does the european central might need to step in and say anything regarding deutsche bank or the time bank? megan: i don't think so. mario draghi has always stepped in and said we need consolidation in the sector anyhow and people have been saying that as a potential solution to address the weakness on deutsche bank's balance sheet. i don't think this is for mario draghi to step in. i think this is an issue for heads of state. in both germany and italy's case, you could end up seeing leaders decide they are not complying with the rules, it is

too politically unpopular to bail in. there would not be any repercussions. that is the essential bombshell that could undermine banking unions and therefore the structure of the eu. joe: i want to go back to the politics stuff. obviously, politics is huge in the u.s. today, but then italian elections in december, and the french vote with new polls showing sarkozy starting to gain in the primary of his party. do you think investors are not paying enough attention, or should investors be paying more attention to these votes we have coming up, perhaps there is too much focus on the u.s. and they are being ignorant of everything else going on? megan: it is a huge 12 months in europe. there is an austrian presidential election, referendum in hungry on the -- hungary on the relocation of refugees, dutch general election.

there are populist parties doing well in all these areas. will they actually get in? populistnot, but the parties can have a loud voice and shake the discourse. that is something that underpins the u.s. and europe, the rise of populist movements across the in response to rising inequality and things like that, really sluggish recovery. i think that is here to stay to even after these elections we will have fractional politics. tracy: joe just laid out a laundry list of political events coming up. when you look at europe, it feels like there is a smorgasbord of concerns to choose from. what is weighing most heavily coming european -- weighing most heavily, in your opinion? megan: i think the time referendum, and if it is not, it should be. this could have a ton of volatility italy not only has the banking crisis, but italy could be a spark for a lot of volatility. joe: megan greene, thank you

very much for joining us. scarlet: we are just hours away from the first presidential debate and tech leaders can no longer keep quite about the candidates can especially reid hoffman. >> it would range between disasters and terrible.

interest for them to release their income taxes. income taxes don't like you know whether they are -- don't live it you know if they are honest, but there b, their care of america that you can see that indian context. if you are hiding it, that is an important political thing that we should not allow. emily: mark cuban is offering $2 million to charity if donald trump sits down for an interview with him. what concerns you the most in particular about donald trump? reid: i think he doesn't have a policy planted he asserts, i will defeat isis, fix the economy, make things better for the middle class. i don't think he has any plans for any of that. i think he has no demonstrated record of public service. these are real problems. we need expertise to solve them. we need people who have plans, who are consulting with people.

that is what we need and that is not donald trump. that is hillary. be the impactuld of a trump presidency on the american economy and innovation and silicon valley? reid: it would range between disastrous and terrible. [laughter] reid: somewhere in there. these risks with global products and we are essentially in silicon valley, we build these things like iphone and google and other kinds of services to represent america to the world and to bring back a bunch of positive economic into the u.s. system. trump's policies would greatly damage all of that. the whole world would look at us much worse. i think the questions around how do you invest in innovation and how do you do that over the long term -- it is not the art of the deal, single deal where you pay your contractors later. it is not that kind of thing. it is the kind of thing where you invest in the long-term. that is the thing i see hillary

doing her entire career as a public servant. there have to be questions about how i build innovation and included middle-class america. that is not trump. emily: a number of people in silicon valley have come out against trump. and yet there is peter thiel, a longtime friend of years who not only supports trump but spoke at the republican convention. have you spoken to peter? reid: i've spoken with him a number of times. peter and i have been arguing for 30 years. we were undergraduates at stanford together. part of the reason he was willing to give by and large a very good speech at the convention, which was come i felt to me yes, we are builders we should be builders, but hillary is the candidate for that, not trump. he and i can because we value truth, we talk about this a lot and we are in a constant

argument about it. i am right and i think he is inventing policies for trump that trump doesn't have. emily: do you think this will hurt peter with entrepreneurs in the valley? do you think he will lose out on deals? reid: i think because he is such a strong supporter of entrepreneurship, the impact would be minimal. but the questions i get from strong business people who are trying to be good americans, both in the u.s. and abroad, has he gone crazy? why does he have the views he has? literally everyone who knows i know him, that is the first question i get. we know what we need to do to help all of america and that is hillary, not trump. why is peter off in this weird place by himself? i have to explain that he thinks that we need a radical change and he is inventing policies that i've never credibly seen from the trump camp.

there and that comes as yields have been backing up as well. there has been a selloff in not just treasuries but also japanese bonds and european bonds as well. why are these central banks cutting their states? every country has its own reason, of course. china's selling treasuries to defend the u.n. and then you have japan's swapping treasuries for t-bills as well as cash. negative interest rate approaching of dollar demand at regional banks. itsi arabia needs to plug budget deficit following the collapse in oil prices. this matters because the about-face by foreign central banks along with the fed's intention to tighten monetary policy means we are closer to the end of this low-yield environment, low rate environment. denmark's regime change for interest rates. -- that marks regime change for interest rates. joe: all right i'm getting ready for tonight's big event, the debate between hillary clinton and donald trump. not is a survey question of

who people favor but who people expect to in the debates. 49% expect hillary clinton to perform better, 39% expect trump . of course, the way people frame these debates is not about who does better but who meets expectations. lay people are saying that all trump has to do is show up and has his shoes tied and he will win. hillary clinton supposedly has to be flawless and charming interface and innovating great it is really not that extreme, the difference between the 2. not even 50% of the respondents think hillary clinton is going to outperform during the debate. the fact of the matter is that it is not as skewed as people think and maybe, just maybe, the candidates will be judged on who does better. so much excitement for that. that is what i'm watching. tracy: all right, and i have some excellent news for anyone who is looking forward to breakfast tomorrow. we're looking at egg prices
