5:01 am
on sunday's debate. taylor: hillary clinton and donald trump were in the ring again at washington university in st. louis for the second presidential debate of 2016, and the gloves came off almost immediately. trump reeling from last week's release from a 2005 tape in which the republican nominee discussed women in degrading terms. clinton'sto make bill 1990's scandals part of the conversation. he also discussed hillary clinton's use of an e-mail server while secretary of state. mr. trump: people, their lives have been destroyed for doing 1/5 of what you have done, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. mrs. clinton: everything he just said is absolutely false, but i am not surprised. it is awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. mr. trump: because you would be in jail. moderator: secretary clinton?
5:02 am
debate,prior to the trump appeared with a trio of women who previously accused bill clinton of sexual misconduct. helicopters are carrying food and medicine to southwestern haiti nearly a week after an assault by hurricane matthew, but desperation is growing in cutoff areas where health -- health has not arrived. power is out. food and water are scarce. there are words that gunman have hijacked six convoys. preparingorces are for the most significant role in iraq in years as troops prepare for an attack on the city of muscle. -- mosul. u.s. special forces are already taking part in rates of the surrounding area. in iraq. 6000 troops after the 2011 withdrawal, there were almost none. president hollande has said he
5:03 am
has not decided whether he will meet with vladimir putin in paris six days from now. the longest says russian action in syria is unacceptable, and the people of aleppo are suffering were crimes that will be the subject of an internal investigation. global news powered by more than 2600 journalists in more than 120 countries. i am taylor riggs. this is bloomberg. tom: this is commodities right now. through the data -- all of this off mexican peso and the debate reaction. today.o is a big story a quiet story. oil churning near its 50 level. 14.18 off of the weakness last week. two year yield was at 0.85. we come in two basis points over the last several days. sterling was at 1.23 when i walked in the door. go back to the peso chart. francine hassett. 18.94 is a new, big, stronger
5:04 am
peso off the festivities of the weekend. francine: it certainly is. i know you were going to talk about peso, but i did want to have it just in case. at the moment, the biggest proxy for how you trade the u.s. presidential election. a little bit subdued. i want to look at deutsche bank. , it john cryan was in d.c. was unclear if he was meeting with the doj, we still do not have anything on that fine. uped index, you can see, 0.70. this is dollar/peso, a debate indicator. are going, mexican peso? it is the adjacency and export dynamics. the red line indicates a trump surge coming out of the middle of the summer. we roll over the first debate, the blue circle, the next debate last night, and we went down this morning. that is a stronger peso.
5:05 am
the devils are in the chart, francine. im: francine: -- francine: had a mexican peso chart. you have stolen my thunder. it is right you are showing mexican peso. i see inflation in japan. this is the japan 10 year zero coupon inflation swap. we spoke to governor kuroda. the first circle over there, right on my right, is when abe unveiled the fiscal stimulus. the second is when the bond buying program is extended. since we had negative rates, this is going back. i imagine if you look at the forward slots for the u.s., it would be a similar picture. tom: this is important. peso, the question is, do we get back to this? do we get back to this big middle ground? mark mobius will join us in the next hour. getting back to that is a big deal this morning, the idea of
5:06 am
dropping back to it. francine? to benchmark.y it is similar to your chart. we have mexican peso here. -- we charted against the popularity of donald trump. you can see that clearly it is correlated to mr. trump, how he is doing in the polls. a clear impact on the mexican peso. tom: i would emphasize for the global audience, what we are doing in the u.s. is aggregating the polls. we really will not see that for a day or two. kevin cirilli does not need a cold --to know what need a poll to know what happened. he is torn has from st. louis. the end of the debate, they did not shake hands. but the body language on that debate, the end of the with the microphones off, is totally different than the first
5:07 am
debate. how uncomfortable was it? kevin: this is one of the nastiest debate in american history. we will be talking about this for decades to come. i put this question to top aides in trump's political orbit. the word they used to describe the clinton campaign was "rattled." when i put this to the clinton surrogates in the spin room, they reiterated clinton's claims they feel donald trump is unfit to be president and his performance in st. louis was an illustration of that. tom: kevin, over the weekend, we saw a republican party shaken to its foundations. i put out a photo of the gentleman who explained to richard nixon he needed to resign. help me with the washington republican leadership this morning. mr. mcconnell, mr. ryan, and the others -- how do they move or work is to mark -- move forward?
5:08 am
kevin: it will be fascinating to see how that plays out. during thatmp tower memorable display, to say the least. i have been covering his campaign for more than a year. over the weekend stands out as perhaps the most memorable of the campaign moments. so there is a clear, clear separation between the trump campaign and the republican party. there was many calls that governor pence would actually lead the top of the ticket. hearing inside of his political orbit as well as from the rnc officials indicates that trump and mike pence will continue onward, but they are embattled. this is a republican party without a leader. this is a republican party at a crossroads. this is a republican party that is now in a significant place of danger of keeping control of the senate, heading into the elections. francine: are there more tapes? are there more tapes? i know it is the million-dollar question and we do not know. but if this is an outtake, i do
5:09 am
not know if there is -- how much of a crossroads there is between tapes like this being leaked out and what his vice president will do, vice presidential candidate. the trump campaign is in full on nuclear mode. just hours before the start of the presidential debate, we saw him appearing with several of the women who have accused bill clinton of lewd conduct, to say the least. this is a campaign that has had its back up against the wall. they are coming out swinging. they are essentially saying, bring it on. they are pushing back hard against all criticism not only from the democrats, but also from within their own party. they are under no -- they are not making any questions, if you will, that they are soldiering onward and soldiering onward, quite frankly, alone. francine: thank you. go get some sleep.

5:12 am
francine: i am printing not quite in london with tom keene in the york. let's get straight to the bloomberg business flash. taylor: another blow for samsung electronics as it tries to move to the crisis over exploding smartphone batteries. a person familiar with the matter says the company is temporarily halting production on its note 7 from as wireless
5:13 am
companies in the u.s. have stopped selling the note seven after reports that replacement devices were overheating and bursting into flames. investmentloy's company is increasing its stake in vivendi to more than 20% as the billionaire titans his grip over the -- tightens his grip over the media company. it has double voting rights attached to the shares it is acquiring. francine: thank you so much, taylor riggs. let's turn to japan. coronadown with rookie at the imf annual meeting in washington, d.c. he said the boj will continue easing in the coming months. kuroda: the market tapering -- tapering, as you know is a way monetary policy
5:14 am
from a way of reducing, step-by-step, the amount of asset purchase. but as i said, we do not -- [laughter] in 10 to exit from expansionary monetary policy at this stage. we will continue, or even strengthen our monetary easing in the coming months and years. and for the time being, as i said, ¥18 trillion of this would continue. it could, of course, beyond -- go beyond that, or go less. the most important is to achieve the eu -- achieve the cost control. that is the most important, because by achieving the
5:15 am
canopriate level, we maintain and even strengthen -- stimulating impact over monetary policy. francine: that was governor haruhiko kuroda. we get more from an investment management chief investment officer. great to have you on the program. what i was try to figure out and asking governor kuroda, they are jgb's.jbb's -- if this start selling, that would be considered tapering. that is what the market is trying to test. >> that is right. that is clearly the expectation to ensure there is this positive slope to the yield curve. hirelks about wanting to inflation. the textbook says that is what
5:16 am
you need to get people to spend more. people with fixed assets -- often they put up savings rate instead of spending more. japan's policy focus is not going to work. governor kuroda, i asked him several times, is this the one? he has been tweaking. james: the entire policy agenda -- they have been buying equities strongly, and yet the equity market is down, not up. it is clear simply throwing money at challenges, when there are deep-seated underlying no pelletc problems, for accepting inward migration -- inflation is up 16%, but the population that works is down 14% over the last decade. no surprise there is, in effect, no economic growth. i suspect very little impact on the growth for the next decade. see any indication that any central bank has
5:17 am
successfully -- is successfully reflating? james: i see signs consumers are beginning to spend more money in europe. i certainly see strength in the u.s. economy. and i worry less about the inflation observable in the u.s. economy. jobs numbers, relative economic strength, it , this year andme next year. that is reliable economic growth. observing at the moment as secular stagflation rather than a future recession. companiesat backdrop, have continued with strong returns to shareholders. tom: i want to look at japanese yen. i call this the kuroda chart. it is good to see mr. kuroda with ms. blackwell -- ms. lacqua. yen cannotion is the
5:18 am
break through the little blue line at the bottom, the 100 level. as i look at this, it is real simple. to go down and tests that area of the market? -- are we going to go down and tests that area of the market? james: driving the yen, i would observations. non-japanese investors have been selling japanese assets. we should have seen the yen falling. however, what we have seen a significant repatriation of the yen by domestic players. in this environment, we want to have more yen. i do not think mr. kuroda's policies are going to reduce the pressure. it, the morepush the yen is going to be purchased by his own people. francine: why? testing? james: absolutely not. this is a logical response been
5:19 am
a climate of poor interest rates were you are up in your savings bigger nestng a egg, because you are worried about how you are going to pay for the next 20 years. francine: coming up, we hear from the swiss national bank president. we spoke about going further into negative rates, swiss franc as well. ♪

5:25 am
are you distribute them too much cash flow to shareholders? francesco: it depends from a point of view. for us, i think the right evident. we are not highest-division company in the european area today. actually, we are in the middle of the pack. but what we do -- we increase the robustness of our cash flow ratio, so we have a lot of cash flow at the same level of a beta -- ebita. the growth is an endless question. we do not think we are disturbing too much dividends at the moment when compared to others in your. -- in europe. tom: this is the shares in euros. the basic idea is regression. i am doing this on the bloomberg right here at the desk. i am concerned about the total return over a good 15 or 20 years.
5:26 am
clearly, you are turning it around, coming off the lows of 2013. how are you going to advance the share price? i think it is a combination of growth and robustness of cash flow. successs been the major of these companies for too long, and i think it is time to turn to something more concrete. make it more cash generation rich, and use that cash for growing. that is the bet. it depends on the opportunities of growth we are able to find around the world. that is why we are betting on digital transportation -- transformation. thank you so much. coming up, we speak about emerging markets and the fed. ♪

6:05 am
different when the debate started. that is for one reason. donald trump actually managed to write the carnage that we saw in the first 30 minutes of the debate. there were many people in the reallyncluding myself, did not think we would see the end of the debate. it was so nasty, so personal. it went from his sexually aggressive comments to talk about the clintons pass, and a real, true, personal, almost physical, philly in the room. that being said, the next hour was different. we moved on to substantive policy topics and covered significant ground. at the end of the night, the takeaway was she could not put him away for the night. kerry end up to himself right into today. tom: this was the tweet of the night. i kept looking at a gets feed
6:06 am
6:07 am
we will be watching to gauge the reaction of this following the video on friday. the second thing we are watching is the continued sort of movement from establishment republicans away from donald trump. people s say they will not support him. we are watching paul ryan today. he is still considering his position, despite the performance last night. you call it what you will, but he did not give up his entire campaign. francine: unlike pence, you say he was less than impressed by this latest controversy. will he remade loyal? i know that is what we are trying to figure out. at the moment, it seems he is loyal. megan: we should not underplay how personally they were from the
6:08 am
comments about women. first, that isan how he describes himself. we expect to hear from him this morning. it was very strange last night, the note about the vice presidential candidate. again, did he do and not to stem the tide? the last 48 hours have been unbelievable to anyone who has that in politics. we'll have to see whether they can regain any sort of momentum. expecting, i we know it is difficult to answer, any more tapes on the donald trump side or even from hillary clinton? megan: donald trump

democracies from failed once es?gled -- failed on tom: there is the legal ballet of last night. how does a market pro like you fold in what we observed last night? >> i think we fold it and if we think it is a potential outcome. we always have potential outcomes and probabilities. you look at the problem really 75%ow and is probably about . most market makers would put it at a 75 percent probability that mrs. clinton wins the election. toht now, it is unpleasant listen to, by don't think the markets will discount this substantially.
6:11 am
as you pointed out, we are seeing that in the trading of the mexican peso. tom: if we look at the mexican peso, why are we not looking at the canadian dollar? bring it up, if you would. this is canada with the rally of another trudeau. down we go, up we go. then, this recent, massive weakness in canada, and we turn again. when does the canadian dollar, like the mexican peso be a proxy for the election? >> i think it is about immigration. if there is any immigration, i think, the talk is that it may be from the u.s. up to canada for this election. tom: thrilled to have you with us today. from london, new york, this is bloomberg surveillance. he is executive chairman and, of mobius for years, mark

6:16 am
a lot of other central banks are against the wall as well. we are in a situation where it , but thefor markets same time, the risk is tremendous. francine: it is tremendous, and they can actually spend a lot of money for not doing much. >> continuing to do what they are doing which creates a y unusual situation. francine: i want to take you to my chart. this is the japanese 10 year on inflation. the circles there, on the left of the screen, if you are a viewer, on my right, is when play.ics first came into the third circle is when they go into negative rates. is actually more of a worldwide problem compounded in japan?

>> it is a global problem. japan is leading the way for other central banks to follow the same kind of policy, which is not working. also, what is so magic about 2% inflation? why is this such a great number. francine: a mandate. does not makehat sense, when you get down to it. we are in a situation where central banks are now driving the economy, driving markets, where they should not be. tom: mark mobius, you have a lot to do with invention. you invented the blue-chip purchase and expanded to other countries. you have a new view on globalization. here is my view. bring it up, if you would. this may be my chart of the year. aggregated.d trade
6:18 am
we are back on the 10 year moving average back to where we were in 1989, a 10 year, decade-long moving average. what happened to globalization? what is the new globalization? i think the new globalization is towards more and more protectionism. it means that a lot of emerging market countries will be impacted negatively. also, investment follows trade. of course, if investment is not there, it is not good for everyone. i would say, this is a very worrying trend. the buy mobius is on side. you are telling people what to do. how do fold, in the case of the u.s., net exports into your calculus? was think the export sector one that was focused early on on d obama administration. it has actually been a benefit economy,s. particularly with agriculture

espressos after the weekend we had. that's get to first word news. taylor: hillary clinton donald trump had their second presidential debate last night at washington university in st. louis. acrimony was in the air. trump, reeling from last week's 05 tape in a 20 which he referred to women integrating terms offered an apology. hillary clinton: it is not only women and his video that raises questions about his fitness to be our president. because he has also targeted immigrants, african-americans, latinos, people with disabilities, p.o.w.'s, muslims, and so many others. so this is who donald trump is. the question for us, the question our country must answer
6:31 am
is, this is not who we are. to the debate, trump made an appearance broadcast live on facebook with a trio of women who previously accused bill clinton of sexual misconduct. matthew's winds are diminishing along the north carolina coast. it was still packing winds of 75 miles per hour. life-threatening floods will continue over the pushes of eastern north carolina, that received record rain. matthew has killed at least 17 people in the u.s., nearly half of them in north carolina. for foreign outreach theresa may this week. she visits the netherlands today after local concerns that the government's focus on immigration controls in at least the eu risks alienating international partners. she is trying to build understanding out of this

6:33 am
microeconomics of everything we do every day pretty it is a different world. >> it is a whole different world. macroeconomics is based on micro . it takes a buildup of micro to get to macro. i think that also this maybe suggests the fate of the world in the economic theory right now, that the macro world is really struggling with the whole foundation and how the economies are operating. part of this is the idea of contract theory principle in agent, and that goes to central banks where janet yellen really cannot control her story as a principle of the macro economic debate. talked aboutve this before. i think central banks are struggling against limitations of what they can achieve all over the world, and the more they interfere with markets, with this process, the more imbalances they create. we are seeing that in japan, where they do not know if they are trying to talk about the
6:34 am
quantity in the system, the level of interest rates. the d -- the more deeply you get involved, the more consequences there are. should why the fed start normalizing rates and let the economies operate in a normal tom: manner. tom:francine: -- in a normal manner. tom: mark mobius is with you in london, francine. francine: we are back with mark and bob sinchen, in new york. is, whether they have taken the idea that the fed is hiking -- or that they will be surprised if they do so in 18 months. mark: if you look at the 10-year history, there is absolutely no correlation between interest rates and the markets. emerging markets, at least.
6:35 am
francine: but there has been a temper tantrum in the past. mark: exactly. you see cases where interest rates went up and the market went up with interest rates. i would say that we could be rates god if and when up. if they do go up, they will go i by a very small amount, and do not think it will be material. a lot of the emerging markets are dealing with 5%, 6% kind of interest rates, and therefore i am not that worried about it. francine: it is very clear that we have seen a rally in emerging-market stocks or equities. really beenot keeping up in terms of number and size per it why is that? the: basically because of latent fear that people have of markets generally. but it is changing. you can see more and more i feel's, gingerly in china, -- ipo's, see more and more
6:36 am
particularly in china. francine: how do you choose what countries are more investable? brazil does not look as good as mexico, obviously. what else do you like? brazil is quite interesting because they have been going through this reform process that looks very positive mexico looks good. and particularly india -- india looks very exciting with all the reforms coming in. tom: i look at the politics folded in here. how many basis points, how many percentage points of return do i pick up if i have courage to be in emerging markets versus being in developed country stocks over the next 10 years? mark: i would say you are .alking about 8% difference the emerging markets are now running at 4% average growth. many countries are doing much better than that, and usually the equities would be about double that growth rate. tom: and everybody watching
6:37 am
worldwide, just leaned forward -- just leaned forward when mark mobius said that. mi buying philippine stocks as a proxy because i cannot get it good yield coupon? robert: i think that is the case. the distortions are brought about by the central banks, by buying up so much government that they depress yields. we know they have pushed a lot of investors domestically into corporate bonds, into equities, and those who traditionally were buying domestic equities have to look into the emerging world as an area to find both yield and potential appreciation. i think a lot of this is a distortion in the core market and the central banks, and it keeps spreading. tom: we heard bob sinche talk about a dollar list here. coming up, how do you fold in the dollar? thedo the job -- how to dollar dynamics change if i am in the u.s.? mark: there is no question that recently a emerging-market
6:38 am
currencies got stronger against the u.s. dollar. if the dollar gets stronger against those currencies, that will be a negative against investors. i do not see it happening to any great extent. a lot of these emerging-market currencies are still at their very low points. francine: do you think the fed will allow a significant dollar rally? mark: i do not think so. regardless of who wins the election, that is going to have an impact. whoever gets in his going to be putting pressure on the fed with regards to dollar strength. , i want to put you on the spot, with great respect to your work with the templeton group. what would the late sir john this amazing about mess in america? he came out of tennessee, dirt poor. what would he think? mark: he would be quite
6:39 am
surprised and shocked. he was the kind of guy who would look at, here is an opportunity. he would say given the crazy situation we have now, chances are there is an opportunity that we should take advantage of. how do you model on donald trump's presidents a? you talk about dollar strength or not. i am not sure what you would model ahead of november 8. mark: whoever gets in will be focusing on u.s. position in trade, and the dollar strength is an important part of that. if trump gets in, he will be a negotiator. towill be flexible, willing negotiate something with regard to which country you are talking about, and i think clinton will probably have to find the same. francine: mark mobius, thank you so much, of templeton. robert sinche stays with us. coming up tomorrow, we speak with catherine mann.

6:44 am
the finance minister of greece because -- we spoke about the immediate concerns for debt relief, about how the imf will join, but we had a bigger conversation about populism. it is very clear that populism the imfg, and globally world bank meetings are trying to defend it. he has a unique perspective because he is -- donald trump really represents populism. it was an interesting conversation. to storieset on about banks print deutsche bank executives have failed to reach an agreement on multimillion dollar penalties. a person familiar with the metal -- with the matter has said that negotiations with the boj are continuing. let's go to michael moore. we also have amherst pierpont
6:45 am
analyst rob cinch in new york. the market want to figure between the boj and deutsche bank. it soon, but it takes longer to negotiate with the boj, and it is taking us a long time to negotiate. michael: the doj is also in talks with barclays and credit squeeze, so it is not like deutsche bank is the only thing on their plate right now. there are a lot of details to iron out. the fact that that $14 billion number has been out there, the fact that the market is so focused on this number for deutsche bank really ups the scrutiny. francine: and the market is questioning whether they need to raise capital, cut costs are the problem is that we cannot even speculate, given indication of
6:46 am
what he will do next until we have a number, right? there is a difference in the numbers you have to give away. michael: the number will ultimately determine what actions they need to take, how dramatic those actions need to be. if it is something in the $4 billion range, most analysts think the current litigation reserves can handle that and the bank and go along with its current plan. tom: the ether that michael moore works in -- let's go from that to robert sinche, dealing in the trenches of a major bank. how do the troops deal day to day with strategic executive upset, at any given bank? bob: i think it creates a level of uncertainty in terms of activity. people are less willing to take on good risks. they are less willing to create new opportunities in the marketplace, and i think it is a whole level of regulatory thereny that has not been
6:47 am
in the past. to some degree, that is healthy, but the cost this puts on financial firms in trying to operate their businesses are substantial. the amount of what we would call back-office resources relative to front-office resources in terms of creating business and transactions has really swelled and ballooned. that is kind of the hidden part of all of this, in addition to low interest rates, financial firms are facing extraordinary scrutiny. tom: the bonus structure is now delay, delay. if you go here, over to the bloomberg, bring it over here, if you would. the basic idea -- i am down here. 10 euros per share. my whole world changes if i am in the trenches on a given day. bob: absolutely. i have a lot of friends at bear stearns.
6:48 am
one of my early career stints was there. wealth, this is paper and that can get destroyed pretty quickly for people who have worked a long time, day in and day out. michael, what is john cryan's immediate problem? the share prices down -- it was down 3%, now down 1%. is there a concern that he will lose key talent? michael: i think that is definitely a concern. the european bank employees have lost $2 billion worth of wealth from the share price declines on deferred shares. that is why on cryan, every cent -- every message he sends out to employees, they focus on your business, on your clients, they give talking points for when clients ask about this. the big fear is that this turns into a big business problem, where they start to lose revenue
6:49 am
because clients are taking a step back. francine: michael moore, thank you so much for the brief. and robert sinche of amherst pierpont. this is the picture for deutsche bank as we head to the break. deutsche bank a little bit under pressure, losing 3% early on. now it is just moving 1%. the mexican peso is climbing to a stronger level. there is speculation that hillary clinton will prevail in the election. this is bloomberg. ♪

6:54 am
-- it is adea flattening. what does a signal around this pivot point? bob: what it is telling us is tot the fed is moving closer beginning the normalization of rates again. the annual december move. at the same time, global forces are really pulling yields down around the world. tom: is it a demand for paper or a prediction of weak economic growth? bob: i think it is a demand for paper. i do not think it tells us much about economic growth. this is a global world where the ecb and the boj continue to take massive amounts of paper out of the global markets, and investors are looking around the world for safe assets. if you are in the foreign sector and you do think the fed -- one of the things the flat yield curve suggests is a stronger currency. we have seen that historically, curve tells us
6:55 am
about currency movements. the move down in long-term yields is really a global phenomenon. francine: bob, where do we find yields? you are saying that investors need to find assets which are safe. they also are looking for yields, and that will change when the fed raises rates. bob: it will, but as mark mobius said earlier, this is a tiny move we are looking at. i think investors continue to look at alternative assets. equities have been a big beneficiary. we continue to see modest increases in dividends. i think this asset allocation shift out of government bonds toward equities is something that is likely to continue as we go forward because that is where the yields actually are right now. francine: do you think fiscal spending is really coming? yes,i would like to say but i think that it is too easy

to rely on the central banks. we are starting to see -- i have argued for a while central banks are running on empty. i think we are starting to see the push back. that is one of the risks in this whole move of populism. do we continue to get pressure on central banks from the government authorities? we have seen the japanese get involved a little bit in boj policy. we have seen a very surprising comment on monetary by prime minister may, and i think we could see more of that in the u.s. also. tom: we will continue on radio.
