two of the world's most accommodative central banks, not just the ecb but doj starting to think of ways out of their quantitative easing, their bond buying binges, how big is this of a shift? >> lawrence, they are moving from it easing faced way tightening face potential he. although they have been very accommodative, we will see budget was starting to move away. we have done that in the u.s., moving all quantitative easing and toward rising rate cycles in a potentially seeing an inflection point with ecb, a very big move and a very big and decisive change of events. for the is a good thing global economy that we are getting to a point where two of the biggest central banks in the world are going from accommodative to -- still accommodative but less? >> moving less and we do think that is a good thing. we think it is important for us to get out of crisis mode from

how we are from lower interest rate and affect negative interest rates overseas. continuing quantitative easing to a point where we can move back away from that. scarlet: does it mean necessarily that the next that may be tightening? >> that is a bit far off. now, the ecb starting to get into -- they have two mechanisms , one is guidance and medications, the other is action, what you are starting to see now is a little shift in the guidance. before you see more action. matt: as a fixed income investor, your biggest fear is any kind of short sharp or long sharp shock in interest rates. it is more dangerous than a lot of fixed income investors know. if rates rise, right? >> yes, the idea of the inverse relationship when yields go down prices go up but the opposite happens. when yields go up, prices go down. conversational with

clients about taking scenario analysis within their portfolios and seeing what happens they persist future interest rate policies and how that impacts their portfolio so they can visually see that, it is oval. scarlet: alan greenspan spoke to bloomberg earlier today and here is what he said about whether rates will move soon independent of central banks. if you lookan: across the spectrum, especially the developed world, output per hour is productivity has slowed to a halt. and rising standards of living which were so general in the post-world war ii. of time have largely been put on the shelf. we in the united states are barely growing. no one else's. -- no one else is with rare exceptions. very few countries in the world growing about 4%. -- above 4%. scarlet: the fed speakers have

been saying we are set up for a rate increase in december and perhaps get it over with before seen that staying at that level longer. >> they are laser focused on price stability and focused on full employment, from full employment perspective, great progress, the price stability, no sign of inflation and growth is -- if we start seeing it go up in inflation you will see more rate rises. to your point, matt, prejudice a more so than we anticipate. that is not the best case scenario but that is what we are focused on now, the inflation side. matt: what do you say to clients, what kind of debt do they want to be looking at? if you look at the best bloomberg acquire the barclays indexes, we see that go, everything is down month to date, except for high-yield. it is the only winner in the last few weeks.

>> people with low interest rates taking extreme that's on where they want to take the risk whether it is further on the curb or whether from a credit perspective. the good idea to dial down some of the risks and to neutralize them across the board. we like the intermediate part of the curve, a two-week time where we saw ten-year treasuries move up by 20 basis points, it does not take much of a move to have a significant impact. that causes a 2% decline, less so come in the tenure part of the curve. however, the 30 year part of the curve was negative 4% at the same time frame. the intermediate part of the curve is the sweet spot where you get the most bang for your buck. the best income and less risk. from a quality perspective, we are moving up. we recommend investment-grade corporate, specifically within the financials. we like tips, the idea of keeping a close eye on inflation , we do not think there will be significant pickup but any slight pickup could increase.

the latestlk about investor survey showing optimism at a nine-year high, how do you fold that in with where do you recommend investors should be? >> a conflict with investor optimism with high -- highest since 2007 but at the same time they are concerned about volatility and risk within the surveyed, 61% or more said they wanted to take little or no risk in the portfolio. that filtered into how they invested their money, specifically we saw 19% of their holdings in cash. 11% in cash like surrogates, money market funds, cds, 30% in cash is a very heavy weighting. from that perspective, we are concerned that people will not 50 long-term goals if they are invested -- hit their long-term games if they are significantly invested in cash. matt: what part will investor demand for debt securities play and the politics that allow

central banks and treasuries to issue those? everybody -- and a lot of people will like, the demand is high for safe investments/ . >> you have seen demand from the government, from quantitative easing, from the institutional side, from pensions and insurance and from the individual side. as the government switches away from -- we have moved away from the qe and removing it in europe at some point. you will see tremendous investor demand. you have 10,000 to 11,000 people retiring every day that need the income. you will see pretty high demand for they sent him. -- fixed income. matt: coming up, jeff curry, goldman sachs will explain gold's relationship with interest rates and how that is challenging, but might be changing, this is bloomberg. ♪

there have been a ton of advisories. i am clicking through different advisories and i can see how the past has shifted. it is currently a category three storm with top wind at 115 miles per hour and let's move this up so you can see it. forecasters strengthen -- forecasted to strengthen back to category four before he gets to the coast and you can see the cone of uncertainty which has moved off a little bit. it was projected to come along the east coast and hit the northeast and mid-atlantic states. it looks likese it will impact the coast of north carolina and south carolina and then veer off and at that point it will be a category two. scarlet: it will slow down by that point but it could delay fuel cargo by four days because a lot of ships will stay in port. that could have effect on prices down the road. matt: it will also impact your vacation if you are headed to

the bahamas. scarlet: next week my kids have two out of three days off because of columbus day. matt: that will be a problem for air travel around the country, even if you have just an issue in miami and charleston and charlotte, it will be a problem for new york and o'hare and atlanta. what i have is a look at bloomberg intelligence did a piece pointing out the impact of hurricane matthew could be good for some retail outlets. for example, home depot and lowe's could sell a lot of material people tend to stock up on. people couldath end up going to buy things that lowe's and home depot to fix up homes. this is home depot and lowe's sales from bi go going through

to the third quarter. we will see the fourth quarter come soon and that is when it would impact because they are both on calendar years. it could have negative impact on a number of stores i think fema had the story, she was talking , sot beauty supply stores for a for example, anything you do not necessarily need could be impacted negatively. any home repair and also walgreens, walmart, target, people willes, always stock up on things when they think a hurricane is coming their way. scarlet: the other thing is home , restoration hardware, bed bath & beyond, anything you go to spend time. people are unlikely to leave homes so they will want to buckle in an chill and netflix. matt: unless it is a restaurant

.n a really sturdy building have you seen the restoration hardware in greenwich? it is amazing and i don't think -- i do not think a hurricane what impacted negatively. scarlet: the projections have it going off the coast. go we have incredible details. matt: you can also see tankers in the path and oil rigs in the path of the hurricane and that will drive commodity prices if we get an impact negatively on those assets. scarlet: the new york mets are back in the playoffs. even before the game versus the san francisco giants they are ready have a huge victory out drawing the yankees on tv for the first time. the president of the cable home will join us next created this is bloomberg. ♪

baseball and it boils down to relevance. relevance for our fans and viewers and greater relevance for our advertisers and distributors. scarlet: do you see sponsors migrating from the yankees to the mets? patrick: we see some of that andeve: we see some of that we see new ones coming in and renewals and the commitment that sponsors want to make. scarlet: so you are leveraging being the number one cable sports channel? steve: for sure, everybody wants to be with the leader. if you look at sny's structure, the joint venture of comcast and time warner charter, do you think this is a validation of the business model? steve: for us it has been a right move. it is majority owned by sterling entertainment, the family that owns the mets and then comcast and then time warner

hold the minority positions. for us it was a way to come into the market and they gave us their homes at launch. i think success for us and our business model has been our entire ownership group has really mandated that sny be run for the benefit of sny. so what we have gotten out of that is the support and encouragement and sometimes services from charter or from comcast, but really it is about us driving sny to maximize the asset sny and that has been the greatest benefit. scarlet: what kinds of services? back: they could be office, legal services, consulting services on distribution. being able to leverage their expertise and their motivation for sny to benefit sny. has beenone thing that trending across live sports as the decline in ratings for live

sports much to the chagrin of many. the nfl for instance, the basketball finals. there are a lot of theories as to why this is. what do you think is going on? steve: it is not something i pay as much attention to regionally. in the regional is this our ratings have gone up, we are up 10% year-over-year and up 40% over our previous five-year average. for us it is about team performance and local team performance. why it is happening nationally, think the nfl is too early to tell and i think in other leaks agues you- in other leq see regional disparity. has beenso sny insulated a bit from this reality? steve: it has certainly motivated our fans to make the relevant.ny more

we have seen tremendous growth. scarlet: one theory as that cap -- is that people are migrating to digital platforms. what kind of effects have you seen from the advent of cord cutting? steve: we are not seeing it with the same impact as the headlines might suggest. we see adjustments, but at the end of the day live, local sports is great content and content that our business is king. we see small adjustments and we are trying to figure out how much we need to adjust to kind with the changing landscape, but we are just not seeing it at the pace and the impact that i think some headlines suggest. scarlet: nevertheless i am sure you need to prepare for leaner times ahead when the turn may come. what are you doing in anticipation of that? steve: this is our 11th baseball season and we have seen the mets

in good times and not so good times and for us it is really about every year being better, operating more efficiently, finding distribution weren'tities that maybe there in the past that are showing themselves. for us, the good times on the field, we need to be prepared to capitalize on those. we are pushing ourselves forward to matter what is happening on the field. it is really, will we be there in the years weather is success on the field so we can capitalize and when there is not the same success because at some level you cannot make the playoffs every year, are we really minimizing the downside and i think we have done a nice job of that? scarlet: speaking of the playoffs tonight is a do or die game for the mets versus the san francisco giants. if they advance how will sny's october coverage maximize the exposure? to broadcastble the actual game so how are you

monetize the on the field success? steve: mets fans have come to expect that we will super serve their appetite and come playoff time that appetite is huge. last year it was 14 games and a 28 day ron and we were there 28 days whether it was supposed and pregame coverage on game days or off days what is happening and what is the lineup for the next day, what are the injuries for the next game and we will be prepared to be there. we will have the entire evening from city field plaza. scarlet: good luck to the new york mets and thank you to steve raab. this is bloomberg. ♪

is it back on or are people starting to freak out because of this taper tantrum story? you have seen a big rally since then. it's connected with an improvement in fundamentals in emerging markets. at the same time, you see the currency stabilize and then start to rally. big returns in local currency, up to 16% or 17% this year. $2.6 billion this year. tell us about these inflows. simon: it's a mixer of institutional and wholesale. the aspect of searching for yields is across many different types of investors. to that extent come everybody is searching for yield and the safest possible way. scarlet: why is that? because you are looking to be more risk-averse than others?

we have been one of the first to have a dedicated emerging-market local currency fund. we have a good track record. at the end of the day, people look at your return to benchmark -- we've done relatively well. matt: your to date return is good for fixed income -- the year-to-date return. -- only ones that get above if i show a spread on the bloomberg between the u.s. dollar denominated emerging-market debt aggregate ggs thend the u.s. a main benchmark, they've outperformed considerably. is it ready to take some money off the table here? simon: the fed tightening cycle

we are in in the moment -- there's a difference between december of 2015 when the market got nervous. we are in that cycle already. image, to that extent, we are prepared for that. as long as the e.m. fundamentals remain on a reasonable track, growth is picking up in certain areas, i think we will see people sticking with the trade. matt: would fed tightening throw a wrench in that stability? simon: the first one had people worried. they did not know how much or when it would be. now, we expect there to be another one this year. scarlet: we talked about the inflows. is it difficult to deploy all that new investment?

a lot of people worried that the easy gains have been made already. we will see 16% or 70% returns this year because part of that was the fact that we had sold off significantly last year. that's 16% or 17% returns. we could see 7% to 8% in the next 12 months. matt: howard marks is in distressed -- when he races billions of dollars, it's not easy for him to spend all that money. you have raised a ton of money this year. do you keep a lot of it in cash? there's not enough supply out there? simon: there's been enough supply for us out there. we have managed to invest that into the markets without any increasing spread or transaction costs. aboutt: what do you think

the u.s. election and how that factors into how you deploy your cash? now is hinged on what the fed does in a macroeconomic environment. the fed says it is not political but the fed will not do anything in november before the elections. simon: if you try to decompose -- returns in fixed income such as the fed or the upcoming political elections here. our process is robust enough to cope with that. we have the part of our process called the top-down. will be watching this closely and adjusting the portfolio carefully. candidate orne another be better for the stability of emerging markets? simon: it's bigger than either candidate. the macro tailwinds in is bigger than any

single individual. recently, weexit will see financial markets get a little nervous coming into it. you have some reaction after the result and then financial markets will return back down. in the emerging-market world, how do you see political risk playing out in places like latin america? simon: in a positive way. what we are seeing in latin america is a move from less socialism into more centrist, pro-reform -- you see it in brazil. the big one would be to see some normalization in venezuela. matt: really great to get some time with you. inc. is a much, -- thank you so much, simon lue fong. he's on his way to the imf meeting.
