ramy: how is the format of this debate different? >> so this debate is an hour and a half, divided into six sections. there are two i would watch. one is the economy, where hillary clinton and her campaign want to put donald trump on the spot about granular details of his plan, comparing his business record with what he says he wants to do. the other is a category called "fitness to be president," where i would expect each candidate to attack the other. this is what happens when the program begins. debate, wehe last had trump have that surprise press conference. what are we expecting in the next few hours leading up to the debate? >> that is the question. we know what the questions are once the debate begins, but

there are two hours until it begins. the clinton campaign will be looking for stunts or maneuvers to put her on the spot outside the programming of the debate. we have seen reporting from breitbart, which has ties to the newp organization, about a accuser of bill clinton from the 1980's, a tv journalist, coming forward to say there was unwanted touching. if there is more to come in the next two hours, i guess the question is whether there is more to come before the programming begins that would be used to put hillary clinton on the spot. shery: margaret, some people are ,sking if it will be mild, wild or somewhere in between. thank you for joining us. our live coverage of the u.s. presidential debate kicks off at 8:30 a.m. hong kong time.

any game changers? >> moderate growth is the right way to characterize the u.s. economy. expected gdp between 1.5% and 2%. the interest rate yield curve has flattened, meaning short-term interest rates have flattened while the long-term remains flat. i think we are in a moderate growth environment with low inflation. what is interesting in that environment is we have a strong dollar. toy: the forecasts are 1.5% 2%. on my bloomberg terminal, i want to show our viewers 4423. weyou look at the quarter, had a 2.8 percent forecast for growth. can these views really exist in the same reality? >> sure, they can.

it is a balance between the beginning of the year and the end of the year. we came off quite a bottom at the end of last year. oil prices were really low. oil companies were having trouble. there were areas struggling. we have seen quite a rebound in oil. theuld expect, you know, second half would probably come in at 1.5 or 2%, the average for the year. book,out of the beige they were talking about the job market being tight, but there was some slack in september. from your perspective, which side is it? >> i think wage pressures are picking up. my expectation is the fed will hike 25 basis points in december. that is not shattering, but wage pressures are tighter. we have unemployment around 5%. i think it is reasonable to

expect some rate increase later in the year. shery: i want to turn to the markets. a different view from the current seaworld and equity world. 20%re seeing volatility at below historical averages. the currency market has been unstable. usually, we see a selloff in equities. should we be exciting that? >> i do not think we should. struggle with a stronger dollar because of exports. the big sectors this year have been emerging markets up 15% and 13%, and markets up high-yield up 15%. those are good numbers considering where we are. i expect certain sectors will do well. others will be heard by a stronger dollar. stick with small caps. shery: the dollar is now heading

for its worst week in almost two months. how do you see that when you see asian currencies gaming on the back of china's gdp data? >> if you look at currencies around the world versus the dollar, they have weakened. that helps emerging-market exports. that is why you see emerging-market economies doing better. the strong dollar is going to persist if the fed tightens in december. shery: what is your portfolio allocation advice? do you go into u.s. equities, where you see low volatility, or e.m.'s, where you see higher yields? >> you want to diversify a low-vol portfolio towards value or small caps. in terms of higher octane sectors, i would recommend an allocation to higher-quality

dividend yield emerging markets, broad-based small caps. you have more area to run in 's.ms of o. -- p.e. i stated higher-quality high-yield. i would stick to the higher-quality high-yields. i would balance both volatility diversification with higher octane sector allocation. seems just quickly, it economic indicators spot trouble ahead, such as the yield curve flattening. they do not seem to be working as much given the artificial market. what are you looking at? >> i think you are right. the central banks have created misinformation in the markets. as you can tell, i am more constructive on the u.s. i am worried about europe. i think europe will continue to have volatility as a result of brexit. you have the italian elections

later in december. in areas like that, you continue to see volatility. as you mentioned earlier in the program, you also have a u.s. election. the market expects that clinton will probably win, meaning that there is a lot more knowledge as to what the policies will be. on the other hand, depending on the next couple of weeks, if there is more speculation or could be an upset, there could be concerns about volatility and trade.' shery: looking forward to that debate in a couple of hours. cio hartman, president and of wells capital management. asia forumarclay's is being held today. advisor willnomic be speaking to us at 11:10 local time.

in june, they had forecasted a loss of $1.4 billion. mitsubishi cut global car sales. you can basically see that shares have fallen more than 45% this year. in april, they really dropped off a cliff. that was around the time that mitsubishi admitted it had improperly been measuring fuel changed testator for some cars. -- test data for some cars. they could have a $360 million hit on recalls, and also -- rtunately once mitsubishi gets through the , thingsd test scandals should improve. demand globally is back up now.

depressed jobs in america. of course, the outside world can be frustrated by china's glacial pace for reform. i think we have gotten to a point where it is much more in the world's interest to have a stable chinese economy, but equally, we need to see china pushed through the kind of reforms that will make that economy more sustainable, and therefore continuing to drive global growth, not a threat to global growth. shery: something we have been saying for years. archie economics asia correspondent. coming up next, using tech to tackle poverty. we are live at the barclays asia forum, putting the world's poor to work in the digital economy. this is bloomberg. ♪

parts ofrue in rural the u.s. as well and some of the developed world, because jobs are tending to be found in the bigger cities. this is a way to connect people who, through an accident of geography, do not have a job. >> explained was your business model and how the private sector is playing a part. >> we are ironically a profitable nonprofit. in silicon valley, we are one of ,he frew intentional nonprofits and one of the few companies that is turning a profit. we set up as a nonprofit because he wanted to keep our social mission first. first and foremost, our goal is to move people out of poverty and ensure that they stay there. on average from our workers go from under two dollars a day to over eight dollars a day within a two or three or. -- three-year period. we bring them in through local ngos that we partner with in developing countries that come

traditionally been economically valued, things that the care of economy. we have to think about supplements to those types of jobs, things like a basic income . in other words, just giving people an income merely for being citizens. peoples anathema to 70 best to so many people. this is a much different technological shift than what we have seen in prior eras. >> was your observation? >> in terms of the number of people who will be unemployed as a result of this shift. workersa new demand for with a different set of skills and we have had in the past. government has to respond with job training and other sorts of systems to ensure that people are employed in a new economy. we have to train people on how to take it vantage of these new digital platforms very even if we think about the gig economy,
