fastest rate in almost a year. 57.1 is the highest since october 15 after an august rating that had been lower -- the lowest in six years. already we are seeing this growing view that we are going to see the fed raise rates one more time this year following some comments we have gotten from federal reserve officials. the s&p 500 nothing around to some extent, we are not really showing, i wondered we could show the bloomberg so i could share what is going on with the s&p 500. let me zoom out so you can see in more detail what is happening. we saw a spike up on the numbers , now stocks coming down a little bit. let's look at the other asset classes to see what is happening. the 10 year note, we have been

watching push higher in yield and you can see it took another leg up on these numbers coming up -- coming out. we have also been watching a streak in the u.s. dollar versus the japanese yen. it is also seeing a leg up, the dollar, up about half of 1%. eight straight sessions that the dollar has been gaining. groups on the move, we have energy shares performing the best. you can see mostly green on the screen. consumer staples lower, telecom. financials and energy are the two best performing groups. we've got oil prices moving higher today after the american -- american petroleum institute the government data out

than 1% at the moment. that is how we are looking in terms of the stoxx 600. we wanted to show you the euro sterling. we are hearing -- seeing the -- we are almost $.88 per euro -- 88 pence per euro. bond markets, we are seeing yields ticked higher across the core and the periphery on this ecb news. you are seeing the yield curve steepening in germany, so very much kind of a mood in the bond market in reaction to that and finally, one of the show you what is happening in the emerging markets. dropping aally little bit after two days. vonnie: let's check in on the first word news with courtney.

haveney: mike pence may closed the provincial race. the vice president shall candidates held their debate in virginia, last night. at one point, mike pence attacks hillary clinton for her performance as secretary of state. after being the architect of the foreign policy of this administration, america is less safe today than it was the day that barack obama became president. it is inarguable. we trust hillary clinton, we trust her with the most important thing in our life. we have a son deployed overseas. we trust hillary clinton as for the event and commander in chief, but the thought of donald trump scares us to death. >> according to a cnn poll,

48%'s -- 48% say mike pence one big -- won the debate. -- clear that she's not have the support of party officers or her european parliament -- chronic colleagues. -- a became a serious political force under nigel farage. the u.s. and china are negotiating new sanctions on north korea over its latest nuclear tests. and china are considering limits on north korean energy trade. other nations are debating separate sanctions. three european scientists have won the nobel prize in chemistry for their work in so-called molecular machines. they will probably be used to develop new materials in energy storage systems.

global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts. this is bloomberg. vonnie: let's get back to that bloomberg scoop. a consensus is building in the ecb to gradually rein in quantitative easing. investors are also weighing comments from federal reserve officials. for more on all of this talk, let's bring in bloomberg's european economy editor who helped break the ecb story. thank you. a great exclusive. the ecb is talking about tapering, get many houses are talking about the ecb may be extending quantitative easing in the next six months. one does necessarily exclude

the other. they basically said that once the ecb is comfortable that the economy is strong enough, that inflation is on the -- on the way up towards its goal, once they decide that qe can end, then the preferred way at the moment is to taper purchases and let them run out as opposed to stopping the program. what we did not write was anything about the timing of such a move. qe is currently scheduled to run through march 2017 and policymakers might decide to extend it be on that if they find that the economy needs it. to the wobbler that due euro, and does that play into the ecb sinking? is -- it depends on how the economy develops. a forecast inhed

september that showed inflation would be at 1.6% in 2018, which is below their target. the ecb try to keep inflation just under 2%. decisiont guide their as to how to go forward. nejra: is there any sense that the ecb leaked this sort of information to test the market and see how they might react and on this occasion, they might not be too pleased with the reaction? central banks are known to conduct flight tests here and there. if drug he wants to fly in official one, he would have done it himself. our reporting is based on talks , peopleple in the know

involved in the debate. it is probably not right to say it is an official trial balloon. people are having discussions. the ecb has not officially discussed tapering, or the future of qe. clearly people are talking and thinking about it. vonnie: i want to bring in matthew on the subject of central bank liking things to the market. we have had a number of hawkish signals from fed officials, but the bond market does not seem to be buying it, certainly not where november is concerned. >> november is the property -- product of a november rate hike. it is still very low, but people are starting to increase those probabilities a little bit and -- ecember,

even overnight, we have one of the more dovish officials speaking in new zealand, saying he expected to see a rate hike this year so you can get a sense that does seem to be in train at the moment. vonnie: another puts it as the stock data on unemployment and inflation at the moment points not hike but the slow does and we saw great services data, but some mixed data in the rest of what came out. >> the adp report on private payroll employment release this morning was a at less than expected, so we are seeing steady job growth, but certain key sectors like construction are showing continued the celebration.

payrolls have decelerated for the last six months and it is unclear what the reader cross is for friday's report, but if we continue to see this deceleration, we get three reports between now and the thanks december meeting, there is plenty of time to derail these plans and the data very well could. heard julie talking about the dollar and we have seen its strength against the yen for six or seven days. is this stronger dollar likely to play in any way into the fed's consideration? >> if it were to keep going, that would be a major concern. they have tried to get interest rate tire, so certainly any upward movement, you will hear a lot more talk about concerns over financial conditions and is impact that it potentially having. we have this big easing and

financial conditions are the last several months and we really have not seen much of a pickup in economic growth from that, so we are still waiting for that to actually filter in. this is just another thing that officials are paying attention to. thank you for joining us. tomorrow, theup u.k. chancellor will join bloomberg editor in chief for conversation on the british economy after brexit. that conversation at 10:00 in new york, rick locke in london on tv and online. ♪

things matter more. >> why four basis points? tool is the most efficient that institutional retail investors can use. we think it is a good deal. >> certainly a better deal than seven. what is the lowest foreseeable cost? let's say you attract $1 trillion. that,we are talking about that is 12 times larger and i look forward to talking about that scenario. for now, we think cointreau basis points is a killer deal. >> who can afford to compete? street, they are and they offer a lot in the way of passive investing products. can they compete? >> etf is a scale game. who are we really competing against?

oil approaching $50 a barrel, the latest industry data out in just seconds. julie hyman joins us with the latest. julie: as we await that data, we should note that industry data out last night showed a 7.6 million barrel drawdown in oil and we are seeing a drawdown can firm by the u.s. of nearly 3 million barrels. we did see a building gasoline inventory. a larger than estimated drop in distillate inventories would theoretically be positive for oil prices, so we will be watching to see the reaction. we had this drop in inventories and there is concern that there could potentially be a further supply disruption and that is as we have that hurricane that is bearing down if not on the gulf of mexico, it could affect the florida coast.

i am calling up the change in inventories that we are seeing on a relative basis, week over week and how it does compare. let me call that up. you have the most recent weekly drop in inventories all the way to the far end of your screen, so it looks like the 5th street drop we are seeing a weekly basis in these inventory numbers. but skip back to oil prices and see the reaction in this oil prices. looks like not too much of a reaction. we are seeing a bit of bouncing around in the wake of this number, but oil prices remaining pretty steady and we will check on them again in about 30 minutes. vonnie: staying with oil, the changing nature of the supply and demand is some goldman sachs is tracking. the head of commodities research described the business of oil producers. >> if you start to see a stronger dollar, that will put downward pressure on the cost structure and put downward

pressure on oil from a macro perspective. on a micro perspective, you still have a lot of supply in the market. see,hree big places we places like nigeria and libya, so the probability of them adding supply is higher. that is the big international oil, projects the invested in, the sweet spot coming online is next year, then the third one is low-cost players, places like russia at post soviet highs. vonnie: what about demand? we have not talked about demand, china, china is slowing. it is growing a lot more than the western countries, but what is demand like coming from china and india? >> it is boring. you look at demand growth since 2010, it is basically a flat line. that is the case. we have seen a slowdown in china.

it is not growing at the same rate like 2009 and 2010, but there is not a story in demand and that underscores a broader issue facing that only the commodity markets but in terms of looking at the global economy. domestic demand is stable. what we have going on in these markets is an investment problem. >> what is the risk of a lot of these companies cutting back or even countries cutting back too much on investment? we don't consolidate so in 10 years, we see oil should backup. >> that is the core thesis when you look further out. you see you can get to that state, it is 2019 or 2020 because when you look at the overall increase in supplies coming from these projects, the sweet spot is 17 or 18 and they start to taper off at 19, the other factor we have not talked

about, the other source of supply is shale. it is that marginal barrel and the one that responds when you get into that $55 barrel range. we are years off from that. >> how much there we understand about how many producers are in jail? do we have a better grasp than we did, last year of these show producers and what their and game is? and whatproducers their endgame is? -- even against the low-cost players on an international basis. that is the area where we have seen the response to drilling activity, the area starting to slow the declines in production. the ones that have opec cuts are likely to steal market share when we go into 2017.

>> within this range, when the you know which way it will break? do you have to wait to see prices or is there some other indicator that will tell you above 52 or the low moving average of 43? >> will we have seen right now is when prices get up into that 50 to 55 range, producers come in and sell that market. that tells you there economics are in that $50 $55 range. they have drawn a line in the sand at $50 and we have seen that by looking at that behavior. it is hard for this market to go above $55. vonnie: that was jeff currie on bloomberg surveillance. other commodities news which also impacts oil -- oil, hurricane matthew may delay petroleum deliveries to the unit states east coast by as many as

there is one big incentive for countries like china and japan to stay friendly. it is called trade. the south china sea is a critical artery of global commerce, hosting $5 trillion of trade every year. on the other hand, given how quickly china has been building his military positions, and how nervous that makes everyone, some analysts say there is a significant risk of armed conflict, perhaps as a result of a miscalculation or mistake. the u.s. has responded to china's island building by upping patrols of its warships and surveillance planes. greater resolve may mean greater risks for the u.s. and the region. vonnie: you can read more about china and all our quick takes on bloomberg. had to bloomberg.com for more stories. angst isntral-bank weighing on the global markets

are we looking for? we can look at the level of triple issue ian's which is about a third of what it was prior to the recession. with can look at companies issuing debt to buy back shares or issuing debt to make risky acquisitions and those levels are also significantly down. at the moment, we think that the market is fairly priced, and we see a lot of risk on the horizon. that does not mean there is some potential for volatility. nejra: let me show you this chart i have. it is the jpmorgan loan index yield in white versus the bloomberg barclays high-yield index. it shows junk yield is dropping towards those on more similar loans. that is actually at its narrowest in two years. is this not a sign of risk being a little bit skewed? >> it says that loans are

attractive at the moment and we agree with the analysis you veryded that loans are a good place to be, and we are buying more and more of them for our portfolios that can use bank loans. vonnie: that would apply that the risk and reward is imbalanced -- imply that the risk and reward is imbalanced. >> i do think bonds are fairly valued. i don't think they are extraordinarily cheap or rich. if you look over the last five years, we asked ourselves how many times have we had a blowup and we figured maybe there were three or four events. we went back and counted and there were eight different episodes where we had high yield spread gap out by about 100 basis points or more over a period as short as 30 days and as long as it's months.

-- six months. we could have a similar event where spreads widen out, giving investors the opportunity to buy bonds cheaper. we are seeing a lot of one-off occasions in the amount of debt that is in negative territory. why mightn't we see some kind of event? >> you could look for an event from a number of different headlines. if you are looking at the fundamental events, we are less concerned with headline or risk that is fundamental in nature. we know defaults have risen. we think they may rise further. they are likely to tail off want to start hitting 2017 because the type of defaults we have seen have been concentrated in energy and minerals and mining.

the companies that have had difficulty in those sectors have already defaulted. when we look at the fundamental credit questions we are concerned about, we don't see anything on the horizon. we recognize that we were very late in this recovery and ultimately we will have a recession and recessions tend to come periodically, but we don't see one on the immediate horizon. nejra: what would a fed rate hike do? betweenhe correlation the u.s. high-yield marketplace and the treasury bond marketplace has been pretty low, so over a long period of time, when treasury rates rise or when the fed raises rates, the high-yield bond market does not necessarily respond in kind. if you think it true, that makes sense because if the fed is comfortable with the state of the economy and they think gdp is continuing to grow, and if it is continuing to grow, one would

expect corporate earnings would continue to grow as well and that to mean that corporate credit spreads have the ability to narrow. i don't think that the fed would whetherincrease rates looking at december or 2017, it was concerned about an immediate recession or reduction of gdp growth. vonnie: where are you nibbling? energy defaults have peaked. that is fully not the best place for value -- probably not the best place for value. >> we are looking at the u.s., europe and emerging-market corporate credit. we do find there are opportunities on the software inside -- on the emerging-market corporate side. we have seen flows going into emerging-market corporate debt and we put money to work in those places such as in companies in latin america. we also find there are opportunities with energy bonds and there are opportunities in other sectors like steel where
