expect semi conductor revenues for 2016 to decline by .9% year over year. a little choppiness for some of the chip stocks. are one of the bigger boosts today on a report that the epipen sales for the third quarter rose. this is a peak season despite the pricing debacle and even though it is a specialty pharmaceutical company, helping to explain why this down sector is higher and a bit of a boost for the nasdaq. is a goodeing down way to put it. biotech down 6%, on pace for their third down week in a row. thinkre any reason to this may mark a turning point? call that forto sure. but if we look at a one-year

chart of the nasdaq biotech index -- this has gone right back below its 50 day moving average over concerns that some technicians and that 200 day moving average, it speaks to the fact that longer-term investors are less interested in the space. intelligenceberg analyst who focuses on biotech says this sort of volatility heading into the election is to be expected and it could he very positive in terms of medical and regulatory information and it could help the biotech sector snap back. abigail doolittle, thank you so much. joe: -- matt: "what'd you miss?" it was nearly inevitable that john stumpf would step down as the chairman from wells fargo. it was in response to the public outcry of millions of fraudulent accounts opened for customers who never asked for them and thousands of workers that book

some who got the ax for them. butsloan becomes the ceo what are the other details we need to know and what else can wells fargo possibly do to repair its image? our bloomberg gadfly columnist, mike reagan joins us now. it is a start but they need to do more from here. this is mostly a pr crisis for wells fargo. are tons of investigations and outstanding lawsuits but ultimately, is it enough to repair that image from a pr standpoint? it is a good start. obviously they have a lot more to do. an internal doing investigation and i think it depends on how they handle that. they have to come clean to shareholders and say this is all we know. here is who we are punishing. millioney created 2

fraudulent accounts and fired 5000 low-level employees and you feel like one executive leaving is a good start? guest: it is definitely a good start. when he went to washington to testify, he was not repentant enough and did not offer enough solutions. this was inevitable and he had to do it. i don't think it is enough to regain all the confidence, but it is a start. thiswells fargo prior to crisis was saying it was a good thing that the bank did not get in much trouble and he himself had a very folksy demeanor. fargo brand is significantly tarnished by that, how did that effect investors? how much premium was in the market because of that appeal? guest: the stock was trading at

a pretty big price valuations. part of that was reputation and part of it was the reputation for not being in the riskier capital markets industry. warren buffett's seal of approval is a big thing but they've had some decent earnings growth in a have returns in the double digits. the double-digit line is kind of the line in the san analysts look at if they are not returning above their cost. matt: was buffet at work in this resignation? guest: we don't know. he has not come out and said anything on the record. you assume he's talking a lot behind the scenes. he said he's going to speak about it in november but so far he has not said much publicly. scarlet: the other big news is that you have tim sloan taking over as ceo.

he will be ceo but not chairman of the board. citigroup is the only other bank that has split the ceo and chairman role. is this a new normal for the banks? guest: i think they will have a hard time trying to justify that. it's going to be an uphill battle. matt: i did a survey among my friends who are obviously laypeople but what did they think he was going to get as a goldman -- as a golden parachute? i don't think he gets anything extra on top of what he's got. he may walk away with $150 million. paid 250 -- he has 41 million in compensation clawed back and there's a good chance there will be discussions about more clawbacks going forward. do people think we will see

more of these types of scandals where there's a similar culture of cross-selling and up selling? is this a wells fargo thing? guest: wells fargo was the poster child for cross-selling. they were the most aggressive that it. other banks do the same thing. tomorrow, jpmorgan reports and we have some other banks next weekend that's horribly going to be one of the main questions analysts want to know. do you have a problem like this lurking and what do we need to know about it? matt: thank you very much. for more commentary, go to the bloomberg and as mike mentioned, we are going to be talking bank earnings all day tomorrow as we get the big financial kickoff or bank earnings. joe: coming up, nobel prize-winning economists joseph stiglitz on why he thinks the ecb has failed.

this is bloomberg.

joe: i'm joe weisenthal. "what'd you miss?" a number of developments on brexit today. the plaintiffs are saying article 50 cannot be triggered without a vote in public. earlier today, vonnie quinn discussed the issue with nobel prize-winning economist joseph stiglitz, an economics professor at columbia university and chief economist at the roosevelt institute. as a new book out. the european central bank

has failed. mario draghi said they would do whatever it takes and he has done a lot but the danger of the single mandate was evidenced so clearly in 2011 when jean-claude treacy a -- jean-claude trichet a raised interest rates twice as europe was going into a double-dip recession. any economist would have said that's very foolish he would have said my mandate was focusing on inflation. , it didn'tmmer happen, but i saw a glimmer of inflation and my job was to make sure that glimmer did not become a reality. that is one example. it has to be focused on employment, on economic growth. : to get a mandate changed governed by european laws, that's not going to happen.

it could happen, it should happen but my view is it is not likely to happen because the dominant power is germany and germany sees inflation as the problem. doesn't seem to be worried about the massive unemployment. use unemployment of 50% -- for years and years, what is destroying and it seems to be unconcerned or not doing anything about it and so, given germany's focus on austerity and lack of concern about unemployment, i don't see how it's going to happen. vonnie: the unemployment that sprung up as a result of that has led to changes in governance with liberal governments failing their electorates. centristsse

supporting the eurozone. vonnie: we are into the fiscal arena. thatere an argument central banks need to be a calmative to fiscal plans like not selling off not government that an amateur's? they have tok support the fiscal policy, but as they themselves have said, monetary policy itself has reached a limit. they've called for more fiscal policy and they have to be supportive of those kinds of expansionary policies. selling off the bonds and perhaps even buying additional governmentsonds as need to issue bonds to finance expansionary policies. let's move to the united

states and ask what d.c. in terms of corporate tax policies under a clinton administration. i know you don't like races to the bottom. guest: she has been very clear about putting forward a more progressive tax policy. one of the things that has happened over the last 35 years as more and more money goes to the top and that means even a small increase in taxes at the top can get a lot of money. but one of the real problems we have been having is this race to the bottom in taxation in which ireland and luxembourg have played a key role. the recent revelation that apple was paying almost no taxes globally illustrates how bad things have become. vonnie: how should a clinton administration combat that? it may be britain next that puts

in their own corporate tax rates. u.s. corporations paying tax here don't necessarily paid u.s. corporate tax rate. guest: the countries where the activities occur ought to impose taxes on that activity. a lot of what is going on is what we call profit shifting. the production may occur in one country and they are trying to say a few people in ireland are the source of all of that and it's nonsense. correct tax is the rate to both bring corporations back home and have them not reach enoughnd that would benefit u.s.? corporations will be operating here. we are the largest market in the

world. sellare going to want to in the united states, so this corporation that corporations are not going to be operating here is nonsense. vonnie: what rate should they be paying? guest: they are not paying the tax rate today, the effective tax rate is very low. so many companies like apple and google have a good out how to avoid paying taxes. in my mind, the real issue is let's impose a tax rate and make sure they actually pay it. 12%?e: 10%? be higherhink has to than that. it probably needs to be discussed with other countries because there needs to be some degree of cooperation. the european tax rate is 15%. 20% or 25% isink an appropriate rate.

it's also how you combine various taxes. if you have a withholding tax on dividends, that changes what the corporate income tax needs to be. joe: that was nobel prize-winning economist joseph stiglitz. bloomberg business flash -- a look at the biggest business stories in the news right now. matt: in a rare display of investor dissent, shareholders are protesting james murdoch's return as chairman of the pay-tv company. they are concerned about a previous phone hacking scandal. castthan 20% of the vote today oppose his reelection to the board. apollo global management and ethical energy could close on a deal to buy anglo american's australian coal assets according to people with knowledge of the matter who declined to be identified. the deal may value the assets of more than $1.5 billion.

scarlet: i'm scarlet fu. "what'd you miss?" brexit is still brexit. marmite and a host of other things were not available online from tesco. the big reason is a drop in the pound.

the drop in the pound value has made imported goods more expensive. the orange line is the euro versus the pound. as the line goes up, the euro is appreciating versus the british pound. food.ue line is imported both had been rising but shot up right after the june vote. it is a rate of change everyone is adapting to. this is why unilever, the packaged food giant decided it would raise prices by 10%. tesco, which is just rebuilding its reputation as a low-priced chain did not want to pay for that and pass the cost on to customers. joe says they have resolved this in the last couple of hours, so for marmite fans, that is a relief. i'm looking at a concerning chart in the u.s. that has fomc officials paying attention. this is the percentage of

because people say, the market is not based on anything real. it is just a phase. but look at it. there is fundamentals in the economy that have are improved remarkably since the crisis, and it has tracked well, so these are not bad. defensive sectors brought the s&p 500 index back from a three month low today. they are concerned mild growth will weigh on the s -- via u.s. economy. our next guest is not optimistic but is bullish certain industries. ise for an intake on this the ceo of berman international equity fund. they beat the benchmark for the one-year period by 108 business points. -- basis points. what do you think about the news out of china this morning or late last night depending on

your time zone? is the concern for global growth , or is it something we could have seen coming? >> there is a couple things, the domestic situation which is posting long-term challenges, chinese exports clearly reflect the health of the global economy . the u.s. is in ok shape, but not spectacular. you were talking about the .hallenges of brexit if i am an importer, it is tougher for me to have the same when at demand as i did 150. so the weekend export -- weak export is not great for china. joe: i want to talk about trends in the market. through the first half of the year to late summer, there was a voracious appetite for anything for safety, low volatility, dividends -- that has really come up.

people are selling off, getting back into cyclical and financial. is this the start of a new trend that can last for a while? what is your take on these? is that popular going to go out of fashion? benjamin: we have seen a time this year as you mentioned we had different phases. we were looking for defensive and bond proxies. at some point it is recovery and banks, hoping central banks and the forward -- fed raise rates. rises areing for rate going to struggle. you may get a quarter of a point . you will not get anything of the bank of england or the ecb or the boj, so that would be a fool's quest. at are offensive names like health care and staples have been a safe haven.

maybe some of the fundamentals in the u.s., health care doesn't look so great. for us, you have got to be opportunistic. what we are trying to find is names that don't look defensive but actually are. materials names that are more likely cosmetics name you were talking about earlier. selling in to those, not selling chemicals into petrochemical plants. i am selling cosmetics and consumer goods products, which is great. we have some exposure there. one of the names we have for a ,ong time is a swiss company and in the u.s. international flavors and fragrances is a similar name. matt: you are more specialized. benjamin: absolutely. they do the business but more commodity stuff.

it is the neat part of bas. from in the area -- another area, as technology companies have migrated customers to the cloud, they have taken people off license sale and the recurring license fee into an ongoing subscription method. that is more stable revenue stream. scarlet: there is a lot of sectors to go through. we will talk about banks later on. i wonder how much conviction there is in any one investment theme. you have so much division with analysts and inventors -- investors if they should raise when it comes to brexit, the election. big split.such a even the latest survey on gold shows those who are bullish and bearish. how much is out there? benjamin: it is not very much. the bulls will take on the beater, the bears will short the

beater. but the bears are winning because those stocks are under pressure. it any rate rises are miniscule and will happen rarely. it is a struggle for the banks to make money today and for investors to see higher rates to three years from now which will bring about greater earnings power from the financial sector. joe: the market seems pretty confident there is a rate hike in december. do you care? does that matter to you in your outlook whether it is december or march? what do you want to know from the fed? benjamin: i want to see a stronger underlying the -- economy. i'm assuming we will see one in six months. if you don't get one, there is nothing for the next five months. if it is later, you get it at the end of the six months. we are looking at sustained increase for the end -- for the

economy. that would allow greater earning power from the balance sheet driven banks. so for the financials, we are looking more at the balance sheet banks, advisers, the fee driven rather than the spread driven. matt: so that is pretty much a wash. what about the election, where you are probably fairly unsure what will happen? do you invest on that, or do you stay neutral? benjamin: you are talking to a guy that was confident brexit would happen, and it did. i am not about to stick my neck out and say, you know, i want to skew the portfolio to one election outcome or the other. i don't think that is the smart way to play a portfolio. clearly a democratic president might not be so great for the financials, might not be so

great for the health care sector, but staying pretty neutral in both areas because anything can happen. she may have a public position and a private position there. but donald trump, is there anything you would be good for? is he too unpredictable? benjamin: i think it is too unpredictable. whether he has convictions around a certain point of view, would govern as a mainstream republican or more of a populist republican, which we have not seen for some time. it is an unknown, and we are talking about this is a small disability. -- small possibility. joe: portfolio manager of the newberger berman international equity fund, sticking with us. ♪

global rate strategies that td securities, who's calling for a december rate hike and one hike next year. hike this year and one next year -- >> that's not new. fourfed is calling for and we got one. they are struggling to normalize while the rest of the world is still extremely weak. we are dealing with poor fiscal policy, other thanks are realizing that more negative rates are counterproductive. they are struggling with how do i think every fed hike is resulting in a multiplier effect. as much as they would like to normalize more, they get normalization through the dollar and anything more than one hike will be a struggle for the economy. alix: let's define what normalization means. last december we saw the interest rate increases, and now it means one or two.

is it still normalization of what constitutes normal keeps taking a by? >> good point. doneost wish they had normal as 2% of the funds rate to what we are seeing is a slow capitulation. i think the minutes are interesting -- they tried to explain why, and i think to some extent they don't know what the extent is. they are looking at the fact that people are reentering the labor force, which suggests that is still slack. there's also some question about how much to overshoot. we're all talking about intangible things, things we don't observe that the fed is having a rich debate as to how much we keep normalizing, but as long as i hike once a year. matt: one of the things we were talking about a lot in the

beginning of the year is inflation -- maybe 2016 will be the year people really realize that inflation is coming. story hasn't played out the way some economists predicted. nonetheless, if you look at a lot of indicators, it is still going out. early nextw, cpi week, is there still a chance at some point in the next several weeks people could wake up and inflation,there is maybe the expectation of the super easy glide path isn't realistic. >> i would take your question in two parts. i think inflation is moving higher. look at core services cpi. it has been very broad-based, gradual. it is running about 3%. what has been weak has been food,look at core services cpi. energy, anything important. cpi.s have kept headline

what's going to happen is the base effect. headline cpi, assuming no core,r pickup anin should be above 2%. when that results in a faster normalization, that is where i struggle, because with the fed wants to see is side that wage inflation is picking up. i don't think the fed puts on the brakes here, because it's a very small and almost -- alix: ok, so we are waiting for the federal reserve to raise interest rates, and in the meantime we are seeing other this iseep higher, and because of the money market reforming implement it tomorrow. first question -- how much higher will this go? does this mean the end of the increase?

>> i think it will be the end of the increase. interestingly, the markets are pricing -- it is almost a cliff effect. we have reached the deadline and that all the money will start coming back. i don't think a lot of money will come back. if you look at the difference between crime and government funds, that's not enough pick up with the risk you take for liquidity fees. so i think the money will stay in government funds. libor will probably stay here, because i think yf is going to rise as the fed hikes. libor should continue to rise. but i don't think the markets are expecting from next week on -- i think this is a structural shift that they have engineered the money market. joe: do you expect at some point inflation to rise to the point where it gets out of control? ben bernanke famously said, it's no problem, he can deal with

inflation no problem, unlike deflation which is a bigger issue. >> is that certainly has a lot of tools. what they might struggle with is that if you get headline cpi moving forward with that wage inflation, how do they convince the market that they are still focused on inflation but still raising rates -- matt: my question is the same. -- isossiblet they could it possible they gigabyte the ball and and freak out? >> if possible. i think we would be talking about a faster pace of hikes. if you look at inflation expectations, we are so much lower than where we were even on a normal basis. for get are getting behind the curve on inflation. i think we have a long way to run before the market starts getting worried. and there is no discussion around inflation risk. they are talking about imbalance, but i think the fed

is more concerned about inflation. right now the market is not concerned about inflation. let's look at the data suggesting cpi is moving forward. then i think the fed will be more in a bind. alix: let's button up your comments on libor. any increase in libor is a tightening of financial conditions. does that feed into what the fed will do next? >>, think so. i think this libor increase was of consequence. when the sec and the fed put forth its money reform. they knew this was going to happen. -his is one of those things - it, thatas known about has come at a time we expect. where the fat would be concerned as if banks are raising mortgages, or if you see senior loan officers pulling back the fed will say the higher funding costs is making banks step back of lending.

financially, conditions are extremely easy right now. for now they are going to ignore it. banks bring this up as a big risk to their bottom line, something that will make them rate change? matt: let's talk about the long end. rates on u.s. 10 year yields are back up to where they were from the middle of the summer. but it's a global thing. can this run for long? >> that is the trillion dollar question. i love the fact that you are bringing it up because it's a big move. there's an inflection point where it will take off. i'm not a buyer, here's why. the argument for this inflection point, monetary policy is largely ineffective and central banks will start scaling back what they are doing. i can buy that. you can see the boj struggling with not allowing the slackening, but that is the only form of stimulus. i'd get a lot more positive on

the economy, but i don't see much stimulus globally. canada, alsoan, disappointed -- so until we see fiscal stimulus, i think central banks of the only game in town, and now all they are doing is debating with the ecb -- and i think that's really the -- are the german bund debating whether to buy 80 billion per month or 60 billion per month. alix: that the ecb. what about japan? there is talk that japan will have to taper bond buying because there isn't enough supply. >> right. and i think that's why they have to do something. the ecb is in a similar situation where if you don't have enough bonds, what do you do? i think the boj did a brilliant

thing -- they said instead of targeting a quantity of buying, we just target the 10 year jgb. we talk about central-bank credibility. as a bond person, they have complete credibility.t they can expand or contract the i think they, and have credibility on that front. what they said is they will feel volatility and if i am a jgb investor, why am i buying jgb? if the nikkei ever falls, i'd buy treasuries. matt: the head of global rate strategies that td securities, thank you for coming in. trump'sp, why donald campaign has been caught unprepared for the recent barrage of claims that he mistreated women. this is bloomberg. ♪

matt: what an you miss? quite a lot if you are inside donald trump's campaign. the republican presidential nominee refused to let his political aides researchers own past. here with more details is bloomberg politics reporter from washington. why would you do that, considering they are on his own team? wouldn't it help his campaign to shares much information as he could? >> it would. this is a customary thing that campaigns do when a candidate decides her of her office, not even on the presidential level. it's customary for the candidates to dig into their past and understand past comments and to be repaired for them. this is one of many things that is nontraditional about donald trump's campaign, things that his campaign didn't do. and as we see now, clearly

unprepared. the response is that of a candidate who is caught flat-footed and he has threatened to sue "the new york times," and essentially said see you in court. he's attacked these women coming out, attacked the stories, saying they are fabricated. a candidate that is grasping for a response to a difficult story. alix: so if his team can't prepare for these revelations, who was driving the strategy? is donald trump improvising as he goes along, or is the team coming up with how to proceed? there are people in his campaign -- most notably his campaign ceo stephen bannon, formerly of breitbart news -- who want him to go scorched-earth, to be

aggressive, to bring up bill clinton's infidelity and portray hillary clinton as an enabler, as someone who has gone after women and accused bill clinton of these things. so he wants donald trump to go extremely aggressive and that is what we have seen since this access hollywood tape. joe: in the wake of the new allegations reported by "the new york times" last night, trump spoke in florida. he said "i take all these slings and arrows gladly for you," speaking to his supporters. "i knew this day would come." is the trumpet campaign taking on a new, messianic theme, the day has arrived where i take the paper you? >> [laughter] there has always been a little bit of that in his campaign. i think it has elevated to an apocalyptic level in recent days, since the tape came out. this is the direction his advisers wanted him to go in for, and now the goal is to supercharge the base, to

depressed hillary clinton's base, and hope against hope that he can pull this thing out. he is definitely the underdog, and yes, he said at the convention i am your voice. matt: we just got some fresh polling at 4:00 from "washington ohio, downc, up in in north carolina. despite all these horrible headlines as a possible she can't put him away? but i think it's possible that he loses ohio -- sorry, that hillary loses ohio and still wins the election. the fact that she is this competitive in north carolina is surprising, because he needs to run the table in the states, nevada and iowa and florida, and then win more beyond that. hillary clinton has many paths to victory and our poll founder

doing well in pennsylvania and virginia. she is in a good place right now. much.hanks very scarlet: coming up, the former fdic chair discusses the latest moves at wells fargo. this is bloomberg. ♪

scarlet: what it you miss? as chiefpf resigns executive officer and chairman of wells fargo. earlier, cheryl bear waited on his departure. >> i think it's unfortunate. he dramatically mishandled the whole situation.

it has certainly taken its toll on the bank share price. on the other hand i think it is ironic. i think of all the ceos who didn't lose their jobs after the crisis, after the libor scandal. this is serious, don't get me ut according to the cfp be report, it was egregious conduct, but in comparison to other pieces of activity and misconduct that did not lead to resignment -- think it's because he's a banker, and it's easier to understand. it's harder to explain mortgage backed securities. but it's easy to understand.

long-standingwith problems with large banks, that is why he ended up losing his jobs. >> although if we didn't have something to compare it with, bab maybe we would be asking different questions. >> i think there was accountability. the market was imposing accountability, and there was a lot of political pressure too. but it was a serious misstep in culture, in management, in setting goals and supervising them. wells fargo will pay for some time, but i think john stumpf was a class act that he initiated this. they had a successful plan already. overall there are still a lot of great people and it has been a strong franchise, so they will survive this. they are now getting suitably contrite. i think they learned their lesson. scarlet: that was the former
