10:12 am

yesterday. ofjust $11.6 trillion as september 30. that is up more than 6.1% from a month earlier and here to discuss is paul thompson, the managing editor for bloomberg news. let's start with japan. how important is the doj's policy? monetary >> boj has been a crucial factor in pushing bond yields low and keeping them low. the japanese bonds market is being ground zero or ground subzero for negative yielding bonds. that is where the biggest element is at the moment, but because japanese investors want to get their hands on higher yields that they keep pouring out into the european debt markets and the u.s. treasury market as well. the latest development that we the had from the boj,
10:22 am
decision by kuroda and his fellow policymakers to try to government bond yields 20% is only adding to that and seems to be putting a cap on that for the time being. nejra: is is having an impact in terms of this chart i have here showing it coming increasingly expensive to treasuries? paul: this is an interesting development. it has been widening. euro area debt has the yields continually pulled lower and lower by the ecb. it has got to the point where some people say either the ecb may be one up buy quite as many bonds as we think in 2017, or maybe the fed will go a little bit lower than the market.

bloomberg chart myself. 3956. high-yield outperforming both investment grade and the s&p 500 this year. cannot sort of thing continue? and more negative yield we have, the more people will pull into high-yielding debt. paul: the mornings have been coming. a couple of weeks ago, there was a real wobble for the longer maturity bonds, all those sorts of things. people were worried if we were heading to some sort of a shift in monetary policy. for now, the news is whether the boj seems to have studied the steadied the ship a
10:25 am
little bit. the pricing for the fed moving in december, it is actually -- there is a stronger likelihood for this december as opposed to last year. ultimately, the fed raise rates in december last year. >> i have a lovely one here. perhaps a bit overwhelming, but it is showing 10 year yields are grinding down across the g7. are we seeing more convergence? continue?rend likely to paul: for long as central have this on the 10 year boj,s, especially with the certainly for the major economies on your chart. you have italy as well which is going up to the top of the pile, but for the vast majority, they are trading more and more in lockstep with the collapse of volatility.
10:26 am
nobody expects anything to go anywhere for the time being. >> we certainly see that drop in volatility particularly in treasuries. thank you so much. what a great summary of what is happening in global bond markets. vonnie: just to give a rundown of where we stand, the last 10 year is at 1.6%. the german 10 year at -10 basis points. at italian at still 1.22%. ahead, u.s. manufacturing data came in better than expected, but construction spending fell short of estimates. this is bloomberg. ♪

we were looking for. michael is here, the economist at j.p. morgan. thank you for joining. in exactly just came the same as last month. should be read anything about inflation into that? prices paid is one of the subcomponents that did not see any expansion from last month. is that something you would zoom in on? mike: it is a bit of a disappointment. what we saw today was a lot that being repaired so we have asked where we were in june and july, which is not very handsome levels.- expansive it is slowly getting back on its feet, by would not call it a robust thing we are looking at vonnie: we're looking for any igns of sc
10:33 am
improvement. it is not likely we will see that much of it. what are you looking for in terms of inflation and wages on friday? michael: we are looking for an increase in average hourly earnings. most wage measures we are looking at right now are in that 2.5% range. that is what we think we will see on friday. we are seeing generally some improvement in wage inflation. it is not high by any means, but is improving. a year or so ago, it was steady around 2%, so we are seeing it move in the right direction. nejra: at the moment, the ofkets pricing in about 59% a fed rate hike in december. we have three jobs reports before that decision. what sort of pace of job growth will we of
10:34 am
a fed rate hike need to keep the potential height at the end of the year still on the table? michael: if we are averaging 150,000 per month for those three months, we are in pretty good position for a hike by december. if we slid below 125,000, it becomes a little more in doubt. about 150,000 would give the people on the committee confidence that jobs continue to betweenve that trend 75,000.and nejra: so we have fairly steady jobs growth. you highlighted before the fed's preferred gauge of inflation coming in at 1.7% at the moment. fairly close to the target. what do you think can hold the fed back from hiking this year? are you expecting a hike this year? michael: yes, we are looking for
10:35 am
wanting december. what would hold that back is a big disappointment on the road side of things -- growth side of things. in september, she said the bar was a continuation of the types of numbers we have been seeing over recent months so we do not need to see a big acceleration, falter thesaw growth way it is at the beginning of the year, that was sent them back. vonnie: you're not looking for another rate increase until next june. how healthy is the u.s. economy? vehicle sales today look to be a little disappointing so far. where are you when it comes to u.s. consumer and u.s. economy in general? michael: we have had ups and downs, but the economy still continues to grow around 2%, which seems to be above trend. and after put downward pressure on unemployment rates. enough to put downward
10:36 am
pressure on unemployment rates. the economy is doing what it has always been doing. quarter, we are looking for 3%. down a littled bit to 2%. what will keep the fed slow is while theyressures may be moving, they are not jumping, and we see expectation numbers that are pretty contained and global price pressures keeping the dynamic pretty slow. it is not a matter of the u.s. economy being all that disappointing, but inflation seems to be slow coming about. vonnie: how what are you willing to change that outlook given what other central banks and other economies are doing? i am thinking brexit and the bank of england and the bank of japan. michael: sure. brexit has not been as bad as we feared. you are right that the global picture is one that is very
10:37 am
important for the fed. we and the fed have been learning that over the past two years how important some of the global factors are. for now, we think the fed can raise rates moderately as other central banks are easy, but that will depend on how quickly the rest of the world except. we saw encouraging news overnight in some of the global -- we areere is looking for another hike by june. vonnie: thank you for joining us today. later at 3:00 p.m. eastern, kathleen hays will be at the federal reserve bank of cleveland with an exclusive anterview with loretto mester. nejra: some quick breaking news on auto sales.

10:43 am
background on issues of interest. oil is a force even bigger than a trillion dollar market as they would become a strategic asset, and a maker and spoiler of fortunes. oil began to plummet in 2014. prices dropped 75% over the next 18 months. techniques such as the one originally and fracking paid off -- as deepwater drilling and fracking eight off. and into the oversupply, iran began ramping up exports. idlecost drillers had to rigs while chevron to michelle, and halliburton cut dozens of workers and billions of dollars in spending. opec nations reached a delay to cut supply for the first time in eight years in september. oiloup of multinational

know the bank of america paid $16 billion and jpmorgan dated $12 billion, and deutsche bank was the last one to settle. market wast if the stalled but the number was so low is because the bank -- you have seen this before. ethically everybody jawbones until they must -- everybody jawbones until they must do something. >> they got capitalized whether they needed it or not. ongoinghas been an
10:47 am
issue with banks that have cut repeatedly and violated the law, repeatedly getting five. bloomberg reported deutsche bank is the most fined bank ongoing since 2008. these are pre-existing conditions. >> how do you fix it? i know it is easy to say look at the u.s. clearing debt more quickly and have a business model that works, but the u.s. went through huge amounts of pain. >> yes, that is the thing we have to avoid now and europe is making it harder because this new directive that confines and limits the ability of governments to bail out a state without unsecured shareholders and subordinated debt holders. >> you said something brilliant, you said whether they needed it or not. this is what we are going to do, and they did it. we had someone with us who said we have not been negative rates
10:48 am
whether we needed it or not to society. we pigeonholed negative rates to a very small set of institutional effects. is that what we are going to see in the next year, a running out of the effect of negative rates, whether we need it or not? >> banks are very reluctant to bring negative rates. >> what about politicians? >> politicians do not decide or at least we hope they do not decide. the more you deposit, the more we charge you. people start to take the money somewhere else. we know historically it has been very important, and banks are afraid. that this was squeeze is the profitability and that is what contribution to the instability in europe, just one of the many causes. i think it is a fundamental instability there before, and with that, any little thing

subject, and he joins us now. it has been a fiery season so far, and you would not know it if you look at the marke. to what do you attribute this? >> markets since the beginning of the year have been anticipating a continuity from the obama administration to what comes next, and that presumably is a hillary clinton. there has been no perceptible rend.e in that tu what is striking about that is umult thatf the t has come, the markets have been calm. vonnie: it is fascinating. is it the idea that hillary will win or even if donald trump wins , there will not be much he can change about the status quo given how congress is? matt: as i said in the column, try finding someone who believes that. that is hard to see given what he has proposed.
10:53 am
.e is so dramatically different it is hard to see markets would treat everything he said with complete indifference. saw another interesting story and chart on the bloomberg that was stuck by the fact that if the s&p 500 records a positive return from the end of july to the end of october, the incumbent party stays in power. isthe moment, the s&p and september slightly below the july close are all ring on october, or is it? matt: that is hard to say. fromwe are able to deduce that the rehab is that the markets this year has been climbing irregularly higher. you look at the s&p. is not steady, but is irregular. at the same time, the volatility is dramatically reduced.
10:54 am
if we look at a lot of data going all the way back not just this year, but decades, there is more of a parallel it one wants to find one with some previous elections. the wind where you would see the closest correlation is actually the one we just had, 2012, when barack obama was reelected. interestingly in your column, you do not just talk about stocks and bonds, but you talk about another asset that tos seem to be fairly tied whether donald trump will win or not, and that is the mexican peso. matt: absolutely. if ever there was a direct correlation with everything that donald trump has done and how he has done in the polls, it is the peso. that is pretty understandable when you think about it given that so much of the mexico trade
10:55 am
since theted states north american free trade agreement, which would into effect in 1994. donald trump has proposed to essentially nullify nafta. that being the case, every time he rises in the polls, the mexican peso falls. every time he stumbles in the polls, the mexican peso gains a little. 19 and 33 today so beloved of strengthening for the peso but it almost reached 20 and it has not been below 19 much in the last couple of months. postelection? matt: if you go on back to 1939 which is probably when our data was just beginning to be whenled, it shows that republicans win, there is an immediate gain in the market.
10:56 am
when democrats win, it takes a little bit longer, and it is a little bit longer-lasting. the reality is in election years , regardless of who is running, regardless of which party, democrat or republican, election years are generally good for the stock market. vonnie: always cheering for good news. is the bloomberg editor in chief , and you would not know it by looking at the stock market today but the dow is down by a quarter of a percent and the s&p is down as well. nejra: let's take a look at the european markets just before the close half an hour away. this is bloomberg. ♪
