2:01 pm
last few days, the pound is front and center. thisch more coming up on special edition of "bloomberg surveillance," including the italian finance minister. we will be talking about the level of the euro, and we go to .he commission we will talk about fiscal austerity and cover politics. tom: right now, we need to go to a market check in new york. come: we are seeing stocks off the lows of the session. they have been kind of bouncing around today. the initial read was that it still gave room for the fed to raise rates once more, but we have seen stocks vacillate as people are trying to suss out what it means.
2:02 pm
if you look at the intraday action, stocks dropping to the lows of the session. one of the groups that has been doing well today has been retailers. gap was out with comparable sales for last month last night, and the company said old navy in particular performed well with a gain of 4%, better than estimated, even though namesake and banana republic sales fell. rise 15% and ralph lauren being added to the conviction list. analysts say the company prospects for a turnaround look good. a utility that operates in florida, up 3.5% today, and , exposed tosurance insurance coverage in florida, bouncing back 16% today, after

plunging yesterday. natural gas trading at a 20-month high. you can see it is up by 4% today, and finally, a quick check on the british pound. we've been talking about the flash crash that occurred in the early hours of asian trading. the bank of england governor asked for an investigation into that. right now, the pound holding pretty steady with a decline of nearly 1.5%. tom: thanks so much. mr. hildebrand has worked with the swiss national bank and now with lackrock and is someone who can really blend together all of economy.ts of our when i look at this, what i notice more than anything is the distortion, negative interest rates, something that goes across economics, certainly
2:04 pm
finance and the ability to make a return and even the instabilities of investment. give us an update on your assessment of the value of negative interest rates. >> monetary policy has made a heroic effort to get us where we are today. in many ways it has worked. we have better conditions in europe, much better conditions in the u.s. really is where we go going forward. the negative interest rate tool is one of the many tools that was deployed. it is important to put context on it. if you look at total excess reserves in the eurozone, it is about one trillion euros. one should not overestimate and dramatize. it is there. it is a 4 billion charge for the
2:05 pm
entire euro zone and we should do that in context. european banks are complaining and saying it is hurting them. is it just an excuse because they need to change their business model? >> there are many things impacting you if you own a bank today. negative interest rates is one of them, but in the context of things, it is relatively small, so we should look at the whole story. >> something of been hearing ceond closed doors, certain pus of european banks want a review, they want an independent panel. >> i don't think we need that because it is pretty clear what it does. it has some negative effects and the overall tool has had some positive effects. the tool has seen a lot of the monetarye of
2:06 pm
issues. you have negative effects and positive effects. the negative interest rate is just one piece of it. i don't see the need for review. the question is what happens going forward, and i think monetary policy has reached boundaries and needs support from other policy levers. tom: within the time we have, i think it is so important to talk about a broader public in financial repression. we talked to bill gross this .orning an update on how blackrock since his financial society,n across particularly european society. >> i do think it is particularly useful to talk about financial repression. we have heightened uncertainty, not least around politics, and excess savings and high
2:07 pm
debt levels. what you have creates an environment where investment is not happening the way it should. tom: this is critical. you lived this. are you worried about capital flows in the coming years forabilizing europe and, that matter, the g7 system? >> the normalization process will be difficult, but it is a high-class problem. we all want to see normalization. will there be some volatility when that happens? undoubtedly, but the most important thing is how we get confidence back in a system where you have an enormous amount of political uncertainty, and adding to it every a in some cases, and where you have high debt levels. that is not a conducive environment for investing. we have to tackle these things
2:08 pm
at the source. >> but if you feel like we are reaching the limits of monetary policy, how can you also the sure we're not sowing the seeds for the next crisis? it has been seven years. i'm not sure what has changed or where the next currencies are .oming from >> as i said, monetary policy has contributed a great deal, but going forward, we need something else. this tool has been stretched and exhausted. we need to move to the political side. we need to reduce political uncertainty, and in some cases, where you have room, you probably need long-term infrastructure spending, investment spending to make sure that the confidence can be reinstated. >> what have we learned about brexit. what have we learned from prime minister theresa may? finallyme to me, we're
2:09 pm
getting a realistic picture that people are catching on to maybe irreconcilable issues embedded in this policy. same accessrve the you have today, particularly in financial services, and two, sovereignty on immigration. those things are irreconcilable, and i think the market is beginning to realize that they are irreconcilable, and therefore, they have to make a choice. it seems pretty clear where the government has sort of staged the grounds, and therefore, the market is reacting. tom: the day talk about the norway model or, for that matter, a swiss model? how do you first need the united five and 10 years out? >> at the end of the day, it is simply simple. it is not about copying another model. the political decision is to go for what i would call hard brexit, to retake. plenty 20 over immigration, you will have to accept that means
2:10 pm
you no longer have full access to the european market. that is the key. tom: this has been one of full. thank you so very much. look forward to seeing you. we have much more to talk about today. francine: we have another great interview coming up with the italian finance minister. we will really be trying to drill and on italian banks. all that coming up. this is bloomberg.

2:14 pm
concern. there was concern the system would slowly pick up speed -- there's expectation the system would slowly pick up speed, which it is doing. there's a referendum on which attention from markets is widespread, but let me bring it back to earth. first of all, if the referendum is passed, which i hope and am convinced will, this will accelerate the whole process in the country, which has been the marker of the rent the government. if, unfortunately, there is a no vote, the country would have lost an opportunity, and things will continue a little bit like in the past. after all, we have launched important reforms with a previous legislation system, with the previous parliamentary system and will continue to do so is needed. i do not think there is a
2:15 pm
specific connection between monta passkey in the referendum. if he has a strong plan to be implemented, he will. >> there is concern on the market. if they cause a storm referendum is voted against because political turmoil will rain exactly at a time where where are also possibly talking about the ecb tapering qe. >> of course, in europe, every day is a day where you can have a perfect storm, but as i said, i am confident in the referendum . even if it is not the case, we will continue, the government will continue to press for the reform agenda. tom: we have a chart on "surveillance" that we do of italian growth. within any definition has been stagnant for a decade or even longer. what are you going to do to move capitalism forward within italy? so five years, 10 years from now there is a better italy.
2:16 pm
oan: you're right to the fact. even before that, italy was struggling with important impediments to growth and investment, so we have to fight to the battles at the same time, and we are already winning some parts of those battles. we have to choose important major reforms, like job market reform, which is generating growth in employment, which is not justified simply by growth in gdp. we are changing the structure of the labor market. we have introduced major reforms in the banking system. we have passed public administration reform. tom: right. where will the will, the courage come from to address the mpl issue? mr. padoan: let me remind our viewers that with the new regime, the instruments that
2:17 pm
were available in the past to other countries and have been used effectively are not available. in spite of that, the government in introduced major reforms the controversy to facilitate and accelerate controversy, introducing guaranteed systems, and of course, also encouraging the private sector to continue, so i am confident that as we mpl toss will come to more normal levels. francine: if something were to happen on deutsche bank, would the same rules apply back : rules apply uniformly. francine: no flexibility from the commission? >> you should ask the commission that question. new regimes are important to complete the banking union. however, we have introduced a new regime without perhaps fully
2:18 pm
considering the transition phase, the phasing in. francine: minister, is europe over-bank, and do we need banks? ation amongst >> the short answer is yes. the banking industry all over europe has to consolidate, change the business model, incorporate new technologies. tom: what would be the catalyst for that? n: we are looking now at the instruments that would facilitate a restructuring of the business model of banks, so the two things together would among other things, make qe more effective, by the way. francine: in 20 seconds, have you met with chancellor hammond? have you talked brexit? what did he say? yes, i have.

2:34 pm
york was of secure coverage of the divide within the colombian people. is it a generational divide that led to the no vote? a regional divide? >> it is not so much a regional divide. it is more the politics of fear. the opposition was basically that thereombians was not enough justice, that this is going to cost too much, that their pensions were not safe, things that are not true. we have to go back and explain and make sure people understand that this is ultimately for the benefit of every single colombian and, of course, listen to whatever needs to be adjusted. francine: how much will it impact the economy if you do have a new peace deal? >> the economy has always been managed on a very independent

about brexit, that we are indebted. had an economist show up gear.ton red sox that was the highlight. francine: what is wrong with the world -- that is where we want to start. the unique perspective of the founder of eurasia -- great to have you here because you just came out of a panel. imf needs to now focus on politics. ownoliticians and their countries cannot focus on politics and keep their people happy, what is the imf going to do? >> this is their problem. at the same time all their member countries that are paying them to exist are saying they want to focus locally and have to deal with their own populism, the imf is trying to figure out how they can possibly navigate an environment where the economics are slow in large part
2:49 pm
areuse the politics challenging the mission of the imf. francine: we have theresa may saying she will not try to safeguard the city of london at the expense of immigration. did we forget that 13 months ago, people voted for the tory party without such a hard-line? these even support ukip days? win labor and the deficit is falling apart, the biggest challenge she has politically is within her own party. takingnsequence, she is that territory, but the fact is this is going to be an ugly negotiating process, just with brussels, with the europeans. the fact that she is making it more challenging herself is really going to cause damage. daysin the last couple of

of existence. where they have gone too far. it will be fine if countries will be becoming more like europe over time. tom: the idea they went too far. francine: but i not sure they can survive by becoming smaller. the smaller you become, the more fragile you look and the more people want to leave. >> i'm not suggesting a lot of exits. i'm suggesting power within europe is going to decentralize, not move up to brussels. because a lotions of their local municipalities represent them well. tom: i'm asking this of you, francine, as well -- who does prime minister may speak to 24 months from now? francine: i don't know. willoughby dr. shaba -- sure to indr. showed -- dr. schauble

germany? >> i only know who she is speaking for, and unfortunately, she is speaking for a divided and unhappy, populist u.k. citizenry. those issues will not help them economically. >> i remember being a young 18-year-old at university, and the first thing i learned was you never know what people vote in a referendum. it may be because they want a better car, better girlfriend, better makeup, whatever. how do we know what the u.k. people actually want? >> we know in the u.k. and in columbia and they're about to find out in italy that it's not just about the issue but about the political sides that lineup, so you will vote for or against them. in the case of the u.k., this was clearly a vote against the entire establishment. we know that. picking up that

signal. your great initiatives was to bring anderson into eurasia pass group . he was turned upside down yesterday. how do you factor in foreign exchange dynamics and what they signal into your international relations? >> right now, international markets are saying they thought brexit was ok but they thought it would get uglier. i do not think that will last very long because you do not have that time horizon. brexit is not a problem yet in the same way climate change is not a problem yet. two years is sort of millennia in the context of what we are focusing on here. francine: i am a foreign national, so i do not agree. there are a number of people like me. >> the number of people saying brexit is ok with the reality is
2:54 pm
they have not done anything yet. tom coleman in the time we have left, we wanted to talk to you about u.s. politics. it is off your radar a little bit. >> thank god. it is so far away. month.l have a we still have what is going to be the most interesting debate this sunday because it is going to be a town hall. frankly, i think that is a better format for trump. he is physically imposing. it will be challenging for him to stand up that way. it is obvious that this is not a brexit scenario because the demographics in the u.s. are more favorable to trump and because the left in the united states is more aligned with hillary. i still feel fairly confident that hillary probably wins and wins big, but trump's likelihood oneot 2%, which is what would expect it to be in a normal election. it is, like, 20%.
2:55 pm
francine: do we still believe the polls after brexit? >> we believe a lot of structure, which is that the average american feels differently about identity politics. young americans are more secular, more multicultural. they have a harder time identifying with the identity byitics being thrown at them trump. it is an uphill struggle, but hillary is really unpopular, and the establishment is, too. everyone talks about nixon, jfk, he especially how badly appeared on television. i thought when hillary stumbled into the van during her pneumonia case she did not admit to, that was a very powerful moment that could have really hurt her. if she had a health stumble on the debate stage, we have a

things back. there could be a turning point in mining, which i think is a .ilver lining investment is beginning to pick up. mining losses flatlined instead of going further into the red during the month and in that sector, we know now that productivity has picked up, that they can produce effectively between $40 and $50 per barrel. they just have to get some inventory. we're starting to see employment gains and more importantly, more investment as we move into 2017. we need to have an economy that continues to grind its way toward full employment. david: on that point, we have seen the dollar we can about 3% on the year thus far. we have seen oil prices hover around $50 a barrel. to what degree will that improve the employment picture do you think? >> a think it will help a little bit. the gains in mining were really about 8000 to 10,000. then they were down. if we moved back up to 5000 or
3:08 pm
6000, that will get this number back in the range. the economy has gotten mature enough that 170 or so will continue to allow us to pull more people into the labor force as we saw with this month's report without allowing it to collapse. i think the fact we have seen continued strong gains but not a lot of movement in the unemployment rate is sort of validating to chair yellen that there is indeed some slack in the market. it will be really hard. anything short of a collapse of employment would be needed to stop the fed from raising in december. i think november is off the table, although there are some pushing for a november rate hike. david: we have heard a number of from fed policymakers. what have they said about employment? tom keene was talking to vice about employment. any hints?
3:09 pm
>> i think there is still a little bit of a split within the fed. there is a majority that now believes we're not necessarily areull employment, but we close enough, and as long as monetary policy is still easing when you raise rates, that this is the way to go. today's data suggest we're not really behind the curve that much and it is ok to go in december. we are splitting hairs on the timing, but i think what you are hearing is all fed speakers with the exception of one want to move gradually, and part of the reason they want to move in december as opposed to later is that they do not want to have to move more rapidly later on. they want this to be a more orderly move in rates. i think that is going to be something we will see delayed very much. if we get to eat hikes next year, i think we will be lucky. three would be spectacular because we would see an economy really warming and almost heating up instead of just moving from tepid to a little bit warm. david: are you worried about unemployment right now?
3:10 pm
is that something that concerns you? concern me still. we have seen a stabilization in the unemployment rate and that unemployment rate. above what we were in precrisis levels and well above what we were 1999, 2000. we really have to keep that in mind, and in less you believe people left on the sidelines are completely unemployable, that is up. you give i just do not believe that. i think we still have workers that can be employed. i think there are some skills gaps, but it is an overplayed card. david: what did we learn about the american consumer? consumer iscan still solid. they are spending more on services, and the secular shift is wreaking havoc on old scale industries like trucking. we have not fully made that move. we hit a tipping point, but it will be interesting to see how employment is affected.
3:11 pm
we have yet to see the imprint on employment, and this holiday season may be the time when we see less retail, more warehousing, and that will be interesting once it occurs. >> all right, pleasure. thank you very much. coming up, according to the polls and pundits, hillary clinton outperformed donald trump in the first presidential debate. can republicans reverse that trend in debate number two which takes place on sunday evening? a preview of that coming next. this is bloomberg. ♪

clintonetween hillary and donald trump is sunday night and the stakes are high for trump. last night, the republican nominee held a town hall in new hampshire. trump: they were saying this is practice for sunday. has nothing to do with sunday. we are just here because we just wanted to be here. hillary, frankly -- they talk about debate prep. that's not debate prep. she's resting. i want to be with the american people. i want to be with the people from new hampshire. she wants to do debate prep. david: democrats are letting .eople pour into the country trump -- poll showing clinton leads trump.
3:16 pm
>> polls are a snapshot of where we are at the current juncture in the debate, and let's be honest us heading into the first presidential debate, everyone inside the trump political orbit was incredibly optimistic about just how far the journey he had taken from the convention to that juncture, but then we saw the week after the debate in which he had a series of political missteps and was unable to get back the political narrative and put hillary clinton on defense. as a result, we have seen the self-inflicted wounds of donald trump impacting national and state polls. david: we have heard so much about how hillary clinton is especially gifted at the town hall. the candidate particularly good at that, and is it something donald trump can learn before sunday night? >> i have covered trump plus campaign for more than a year and are seen him interact with voters, and i think you get a tale of two trumps.
3:17 pm
sometimes you get someone who is engaged, listening more than speaking, and other times, you get someone who is more brash. i will say i do not think hillary clinton is particularly gifted. we all remember the nbc commander-in-chief forum where she did struggle. but she will be in debate prep but really trying to prepare more according to sources i'm speaking with or this debate than the last one. david: i wonder how well that is working. i heard an interview with governor scott walker who was talking about how he had been working with mike pence ahead of the debate and was sort of telegraphing to people listening to the interview that he wanted trump to take a lesson of how the vice presidential debate went. any since that is filtering into trump's psyche? haver donald trump, stakes never been higher. this is a huge opportunity to
3:18 pm
reset. hillary clinton does not have nearly as much riding on this particular race, but this comes at a juncture, the first debate since tax returns were released, also the first since the vice presidential debate. firing off that rhetoric that is sure to get a rise out of the left as well as president obama, but that is according to the sources that i'm speaking with. perhaps it is the type of engagement he wants heading into sunday's debate. david: this week and ahead of that town hall, the house will be out for donald trump. >> a lot of the pundits i speak to say two things -- first and foremost, this was not their top choice, to have donald trump republican nominee for president, but then they say something else -- they say if

3:23 pm
belowhis number came consensus expectations, people were really put on pause because we are getting really choppy data. you need a market to really continue to grow because we have seen margin expansion and cost-cutting in companies, but we have not seen topline growth, and that is the holy grail that can take this market to the next leg, higher obviously. i think there is an issue because we have seen subpar gdp growth. people are really worried. when you get a disappointing number like this when it should be optimistic, it gives them cause. that's what you are seeing it all over the place. economists'ugh the reaction in the wake of the report was not that concern, particularly because we saw the labor participation rate ticked up to some degree. mr. kelly: right, but the problem is a lot of times, people are going back looking for jobs and starting to
3:24 pm

3:25 pm
yahoo! as well, so what prompted you to look at this one? mr. kelly: it is a defensive name, and i think it is trying to be sexy and is a little bit misunderstood. i have a lot of artificial intelligence, they are trying to move into a lot of growth spaces, and it is a great defensive name. any are not trading at absurd multiple. people complain about valuations, but they are trading at 12.5 times earnings and i looking to grow those earnings organically and through acquisitions, so it is a great name to be in and the options market is the perfect place to position yourself and buy a stock cheaper. when we look at it, there's a great way you can go into the options market. there is a $48 january put. 105-day trade. what you do is just sell be put for about $1.18, collect those proceeds no matter what so you get to keep that. if the stock goes up, it is all yours and you can keep it.

3:45 pm
what is it now compared to years ago? pedro: below $40. alix: how? pedro: we have a lot of experience working on this. to give you an example, the productivity of our wells are bigger than what we expected. we expected around 20,000 barrels a day coming out it is at 26,000. some even as much as 40,000 barrels a day. what we see is to break even it would be below $40. alix: and it is cheaper to do business because there is less to go around. the rates are extraordinarily low, but the weaker real has helped, making the dollar equivalents come down. how much of the lower costs are sticky for you? , weo: what we are doing is

are negotiations -- negotiating with the rate of equipment. with somethis equivalent, more than others. it depends on the market. and there is equipment that is specific. for example, platforms. they are very specific, there is no room. so what we are doing is trying to reduce the cost by negotiating this and also, due to the productivity difference we have seen, there are lifting costs. alix: if you are looking at $40 break even, can that increase if the real increases from here? pedro: it is important for us in defining domestic price, but when we are looking for investments we need to make and explore what we look for, the
