days in which we have a little bit of weakness. that was not the case today. they are down. very clear result. the other thing we thought that he is the breakdown in the stocks, and bond correlation. that his been a pretty tight correlation -- that has been a pretty tight correlation recently. stocks sold off, and bonds did pretty well. 10 year is down. you saw what seemed to be the risk off mentality that we usually see manifested with bonds and stocks. recently, they have been doing the same thing together. you cannot look past the financial shares. that was a big part of it. anchor: what is happening with them? you look at what happened before we opened up markets this morning, europe was very weak on the back of deutsche bank hitting new record lows, just going lower on share prices. that is the incredible. one thing we know about investors, they do not like to see financial companies in the

crosshairs. is the thought that has done a very poorly. this is the record low year-to-date down 50%, and people question what it is going to do to keep up with the fines it has been imposed upon. finding out whether or not there has been systemic risk, which the imf has labeled deutsche bank. wells fargo stuff is still overhanging, so bank of america, wells fargo, deutsche bank, hurting quite a bit today. how do u.s. investors feel about the election? we are hearing more from wall street. alice say we need to -- analyst say we need to start pricing in this financial risk. the easiest case one can make is the market, in the u.s., has not given a clear distinction. oliver: i have got a chart showing, it basically looks at

the s&p 500. there is a spread between the possibility of hillary clinton becoming president based on politics polls. when this blue line of lower, that indicates trump poll numbers are getting closer to ms. clinton's. what we see on the correlation on the bottom, it goes green, it goes red, it goes green. they have not signaled who they want to be president. perhaps tonight, we will finally get some clarification on that. much.: thank you so as we have been talking about the story that will dominic the news today -- dominate the news today, the debate between hillary clinton and donald trump. a face-off in two hours time, with a bloomberg poll putting neck.eck and good to see. we talk about how tired, how dead heat these two candidates are.

campaign? debate that is a going to be a test of trustworthiness, credibility, likability. what is the message we are expecting out of the candidates? megan: we're not really sure tonight what donald trump is going to show up, the bombastic one,? ? is it going to be the more measured, somber, serious donald trump was ready to make his message to people that he does have what it takes, the qualifications, and most importantly, the temperament to be president? can hillary clinton make that positive message she has yet to make? can she see people really get behind what she is bringing to the country, not just what donald trump is not, but what she is? anchor: how is each candidate going to win over the undecided vote? that is what really counts right now. megan: it is hard to believe

there's anyone out there who is undecided with two candidates who really polarized the electorate. they are out there in fact. what they are going to be looking for is two issues, one on the economy, and second, on terrorism. those who come late to donald trump's campaign say they like his message on job creation and growth. they are troubled by some of his rhetoric onreadon the economy , things like the wall. they will be looking at what type of message he gives today. hillary clinton has got to give trustworthiness, that authenticity with voters that she has failed to connect with. that is going to be her biggest challenge tonight. murphy fromn hofstra university, were the first debate of the presidential campaign will be taking place. we are going to have special coverage on the debate, live on bloomberg television starting at 8 a.m. hong kong time, and 8:30 p.m. here in new york. we are going to have special coverage on thewe are going to t live on twitter.

surprising, given that since august of last year, we have had a sharp move in terms of people moving from perpetually appreciating expectations for the renminbi to more of a depreciation expectation against the u.s. dollar is not necessarily all of their currencies. i think from that perspective, you do see a rise in terms of deposits on shore in china and a decline of renminbi deposits offshore. i think that is to be expected, but policymakers are working very hard to stabilize expectation and demonstrate volatilitye two-way in the renminbi. betty: that of course is happening in just a few days. helen, thank you so much. helen is among the big-name guests who will be visiting the bloomberg markets most

across the asia-pacific, a lot of this is down to the stronger japanese yen. afternoon, the thinking behind the most recent changes there. australia was basically flat yesterday, seeing declines of about .20%. dollar-yen is up, from the session low on monday of 125. it's still seen as a safe haven bid, that's the most simple way of describing what is happening. debate, have al donald trumpchart,

is not exactly offered the kindest words to mexico. the exchange rate could break 20 for the first time in forever. , but that being said it's still at a record low at the moment. so a few things to watch, the markets headed down. the story that will dominate the news today, the first head-to-head debate between hillary clinton and donald trump. the face-off in just about an hour's time. the new bloomberg poll puts them and neck. you are in the spin room right -- are youthey hearing anything? >> the campaigns are trying to set expectations cleverly.

in about an hour we could be witnessing the campaign of the century. disliked byidates vast swaths of the country. where hearing that he's going to be calling, cool, and collected, he's not going to lash out or have a temper tantrum. they want him to be graded on a higher basis than he usually is and not walk away by remaining calm and think that is a win. the clinton campaign -- the trump campaign is playing it close to the vest. someone him to go very aggressive at hillary clinton, someone him to tone it down an appeal to suburban women and white voters.ed it is very tight race and the debate could change the final few weeks of the election. yvonne: a lot of us don't know what to expect tonight. what challenges do they face

going into the debate? >> the big challenge hillary clinton faces is that large numbers of americans do not view her as honest and trustworthy, according to surveys. to talks to be able about the controversies that have been dogging her campaign, including her use of private e-mail server and the donations the clinton foundation received, without seeming like she's offering half-truths and without going on the defensive and behaving in a way that makes people think she has something to hide. thought trumps big problem is that majorities of americans don't believe he has the temperament to be president. 45% of them are still able to support him regardless. in order to push beyond the 44% he is stuck at in the polls, he needs to make people think he is

capable of sitting in the oval office and making some of the most important decisions that will affect the country and the world. yvonne: and we know it's all about the undecided voters. what will be the key points to try to push that over them? >> it's an open question as to whether this will be about undecided voters. the undecided voter has been shrinking as a percentage of the electorate. are still undecided. donald trump may try to supercharge the vote among predominantly older, white voters, and hillary clinton is running on a very progressive platform aimed at reanimating the obama coalition. so the undecided voter will matter and this will be about who can excite the voters. lots to do with it --
