10:07 am
to london with the founder and chief economist with pantheon economics. most of the people we have spoken to say this is a solid jobs report but there were patches of weakness. there are a couple of weak bits. retail was soft. 44,000, that was a welcome surprise. i would call it good enough. it was a great. the unemployment rate has stopped falling because participation has gone up. we're not doing the steady downward trend. the broad unemployment rate came down by .2% to a new low. there is enough for the hawk to make the case they should go in december. i think the market has read it right and increased the odds. i think it will happen. vonnie: you can argue the
10:08 am
overall employment rate came down a little because participation rate came down too? ian: it did. on the website there is a table that tells you if any of the numbers are significant. if they pass the test of randomness. none did. the movement is all statistically insignificant. what matters is that the unemployment rate has averaged 5%, low and stable. that is starting to push up the growth of wages. 5% -- 2% for five straight years. now it is 2.8. that is quite a big move. it is time to get the attentions of the market on the fed. next year above 3%, it will be a big driving force of what the fed does. mark: does a donald trump victory derail the fed in december? yes, it does.
10:09 am
i think it is extremely unlikely. clinton suffered a little over the last few days after the e-mail investigation story broke last weekend, but looking over the latest she seems to be bouncing back. in the swing state polls she is solidly ahead. i'd be surprised if trump won. market forecasts, investment strategy, it is all out of the window. mark: in 2005, you are one of an worst to warn of impending housing crash that would send the economy into recession and it would take years to recover. what is your starkest warning when it comes to the global economy? ian: there are a few things to worry about, but i'm not sure any are in the. i do not like china's credit bubble. it makes the u.s. in 2008 look
10:10 am
prudent and well-managed. that is scary. it is difficult to say it will be a problem in the next six months or a couple of years. it is a lingering fear appeared and lingering fears about europe , particularly italy and france. economy.s. the domestic looks solid. have seen a collapse in the oil business, and that is the biggest drag but it is over. the cycle downshift is probably over. x orders seem -- exporters seem to be having a slightly better time. from a big picture perspective in terms of clear and present danger, in the next six to nine months, there isn't a lot on the domestic verizon. -- domestic horizon. that, healthen care, and finance hiring up, not so much manufacturing and retail, but those parts of the economy were up, is it possible in awe may not be
10:11 am
secular changing labor market? ian: we haven't seen secular change in the labor market. it won't go back to 2005 and 2006. any left you probably won't come back. shifte seen a continued away from manufacturing into services for the foreseeable future. what we will look at now is the overall market. you can see in the surveys companies are screaming i can't find the people to hire. they're poaching staff from competitors rather than pulling people into the force. the price of labor goes up. the fed is obsessed with wages. in februarytold us that he wants to see wage growth at 3%. we are 2.8 percent this month. i think we will be a 3% by december. next year, how will the fed respond? my guess is more than the markets think.
10:12 am
mark: in london, the bank of yesterday.t neutral we got a neutral bias leading to the question is the next groove in u.k. rates going to be up or down? ian: that is tough year it will not be soon in either direction. what they're looking for is the impact on import prices and the mystic prices. we can -- and domestic prices. we can see domestic prices are spiking hard. critically into wages. the u.k. labor market is tight. the last time there as a currency crash in the 1990's it was loose. it is a different story now. the bank is getting nervous that with a tight in premarket and drop in sterling there is a risk of sustained relation in the next year. think the next one we will be up, but i don't know when it will be. vonnie: ian shepherdson, founder

who would be the first african-american. that would be a signal of a different cabinet. these jobs have always gone to white males. on the other hand, donald trump is thinking about people that are very successful investors like carl icahn. vonnie: the cabinet, half will be women. that lead you to believe the women on the shortlist have a better chance here to relatives and she needs the most? a business background? the federal reserve regulatory background? mike: it needs to be someone who has fluency in the regulatory world and the market world, in the business community, someone who can talk to congress, talk to foreign leaders, foreign finance ministers, talk to markets, talk to the public. you have to have fluency on
10:19 am
different levels. those things are all important. you have to make your own judgment about the trade-offs. we are glad to be able to -- mark: i'm sorry. how does she navigate the tensions between the liberal wing in her party? that is tricky? mike: that is what makes this interesting. this is going to be the most visible early choices, which whill show how she will navigate the tension between elizabeth warren and the liberal progressive wing and that is this-friendly wing.this'll be signaled to how she will navigate . part of the leeway in navigating will depend on the senate outcomes. if the senate's republican, there's no way they will confirm someone who is a highly progressive treasury secretary. there are lots of variables in it we knew who was elected. tuesday forn to

10:25 am
talk about volatility. vxx.x, traders love it has been up here it closed up 8 straight days. it has never closed up 8 straight days, not even 6. what is interesting about vxx closing up is that the total gain is not that big. it is little games. there is a cautious optimism. not a complete panic. vxx is up 18% in the past two weeks. it could go up 18% in one day if there is a real panic. that is one to watch as well. vonnie: i have it on my bloomberg, up 8 straight days correlated to the s&p down eight straight days. talk to us about individual sectors in the u.s. and what investors are doing. >> everyone is piling into treasuries. there is a shift out of equities
10:26 am
into treasuries. what is interesting in treasury int --s it is not going it is going into the middle of the curve. when you see investors piling into all treasuries it is more of a hedge for a crisis than a move against the fed. will we see a reversal the day after the election? >> it depends on who wins. vonnie: we will leave it at that for now but we will push you on it next week. the senior etf analyst at bloomberg intelligence. you can see the 10 year after jobs report yielding 1.78%. still ahead, talking brexit plans. this is bloomberg. ♪

thousand 15 it oversaw about 90 appeals and upheld about half of them. it is busy. this is perhaps the first time there has really been a huge case as the newspapers demonstrate today, will be on the front page. vonnie: i was looking at some of the other newspapers. the telegraph saying that ironically this is what the brexit vote was for, so that parliament could have a say in the matters of its own country. and yet now it looks like this decision is going to be appealed and the prime minister is not happy. but effectively that is what the brexit vote was for, a vote for parliament to have a say in its own decisions. simon: to some extent, yes. there is an argument that we are going to take back control and obviously a couple of the cartoons pointing out may saying
10:37 am
she wants back control but not just yet. the worry less so of her office but from the pre-brexit cap is that others will use this to railroad brexit and derail it. there are very few lawmakers saying, their hope is to shape brexit not to avoid it. vonnie: what are the opposition leaders saying anything at all? simon: they are saying lots. that is all they are talking about. labor party leader jeremy corbyn yesterday saying that he respects the referendum but he wants to see a negotiation within parliament, debate within parliament over what exactly brexit entails. theresa may famously has kept to herself and says she does not want to say too much for fear of undermining her negotiating abilities once she made the europeans.
10:38 am
a lot of parliamentarians and people on her side are saying that is not good enough, and the high court to make them strength. mark: 2014 referendum in scotland, 2015 election here, 2016 referendum, 2017 another election? simon: the chances went up yesterday. the guys at eurasia group see just a 20% chance. if you look at the opinion polls the theresa may would win the .lection she does not have a personal mandate. she could use that as a referendum on her negotiating strategy. for her the labor party opposition, a lot of reasons to go next year against that. there are the important ones. she has repeatedly said she does
10:39 am
not plan to go before 2020. it would require parliament to get out after that fixed term, and the public appetite for another election, i think anytime she is building a case for brexit that is against it. mark: bloomberg brexit editor simon kennedy. coming up, little corruption -- political corruption, military coups and domestic terrorism. pakistan'scts growing economy and modernizing society. ♪

a much more adventurous and determined guy that most people expected. the problem with japan is it is very difficult to raise inflation simply through monetary policy when you are already at zero. nothing you do really has very much direct effect, it is all a mind game trying to convince people that there will be inflation which generates inflation, trying to pick yourself up from your own bootstraps. that is very hard to do in the only way it has a chance of succeeding unless it has support from other stuff, is if you have something that is a clear regime change were people say this is not the world we were in before, inflation is coming. i do not think a switch from monetary base to yield curve targeting is going to do that. policy?s to be fiscal

good deal -- a big deal. the tpp is mostly about intellectual property and dispute settlement and those are arguable, but the point is we have already taken trade liberalization virtually to the limit. there are only a few pieces, agriculture, if you others that are almost free trade. that is not a big deal except for possibly global diplomacy. the other is an actual. if the u.s. starts raising tariffs, imposing quotas, if we start going back on the whole wto system that we built, that would be a huge event. i think that is pretty unlikely. i would say based on this morning's upshot model there is a 4% chance of happening. tradethere a problem with deals in compliance or is there a problem with management and
