7:00 am
jonathan: good morning, from new york city. it warm welcome to "bloomberg tuesday," on this november 22. in the market, futures a positive 52 points, the dow up six points on the s&p 500. loweracross the periphery in the united states. treasury yields go lower, down by three basis points. the dollar-yen, a marginally weaker story. -- david:t you need here's what you need to know at this hour, party like it's 1999. equities rally to all-time highs for the first time in 17 years as commodities surge. death, taxes, at a rate hike. the market is certain the federal reserve will move next month as the implied probability gets 100%. and donald trump targeting trade.
7:01 am
donald trump: i'm going to issue our notification of intent to withdraw from the transpacific partnership. a potential disaster for our country. u.s. president elect says he will withdraw from the transpacific partnership on his first day in office. and that's what you need to know. alix: we are seeing a big move in markets over the last two weeks. seeing the great rotation out of stocks and into bonds. three charts tell the story. we are partying like it's 1999, i was a sophomore in college. it was a big party year. lineussell 2000 is the red and the s&p, the white line and the dow jones, the blue and the nasdaq in purple as the normalized basis over the last year. you see that huge jump since the election. have aflipside, you record rally, but not seeing any big volatility. if you take a look at treasury volatility versus stock volatility, we are right around a three-year high. this is the widest spread since
7:02 am
september 2013. bank of america says you can see treasury volatility moving a higher, it's the white line. it has more room to run, well below the historical average. what does it mean when you pair the issues in the stocks and bonds? the blue line is the bloomberg aggregate of bond index that takes into account sovereign, corporate, all across the globe in the white line is the s&p. over the last few months, they were moving in tandem and if you had a selloff in bonds, you would see a sullivan stocks, but that didn't happen. the rally in stocks continued and that is the question. can that divergence continue. jonathan: let's bring in jeff the s&p 500 bond market rolling over, does it have to close? jeff: he doesn't have to close. the gap is traditional economics
7:03 am
meets markets 101. what's good for stock markets is reflecting growth expectations. , itave the trump election surprises people. it's all about growth and changing the trajectory on growth. what is the reaction and financial markets? a positive reaction in equity markets to the growth died in a negative reaction in the sense of higher interest rates. that's really reflecting the expectation that we are going to that we arer odds not going to have 2% growth forever. that is with the market moves are talking about. jonathan: historically, it makes sense. it's not what we're used to recently. that's all. in the middle of the summer, you had bond yields at all-time lows and at all-time highs. can we go back? so used torg: we are this distortion and financial iskets, where bad news
7:04 am
treated as good news. i call of the paranormal markets. bad news is treated as good news because it means more monetary policy accommodation, which is good news for stock markets trade it raises stock valuations and bond valuations. it means a more persistent perio d of zero rate and intervention. maybe we can break out of that kind of market environment and get back to a bit of normal market environment. normal market environment, where bonds and stocks have more persistent negative correlation. what you're seeing now is the good side of that with bonds down and stocks up. you can also see the other side as well. alix: at what point do you not want to buy stocks because the yield isn't as attractive? something adjusting has happened, the generic 10 year yield has risen above the s&p dividend yield. the case roaming stocks is the so much -- the yield is so much
7:05 am
better, i want to own that. does it change the conversation? it's much more about rotation and different sectors that are benefiting. health care, different parts of health care as a result of what we anticipate. what it looks like for energy, what it means for consumption and consumer related stocks because of trade policies. on the bond side, it's pretty much macroeconomic growth outlooks. with the growth outlook, you see the higher registry fix it -- higher interest rate picture. david: at what point do the macro effects come back to the bond market? this is based on the anticipation of fiscal spending and tax cuts, which could lead to real deficit spending and a real growing leverage of the u.s. balance sheet. at what point does not begin to feed back into the bond market and then have negative effects? mr. rosenberg: it has, if you
7:06 am
look at the movements in the bond markets. the biggest movements are in the back into the yield curve. back and reflect a couple of different market expectations. one, he reflects an expectation that growth will be accompanied by inflation. it also reflects the idea that if we are moving away from that monetary policy world that we were talking about a minute ago -- monetary policy can do less and fiscal policy might do more. that might mean more debt financing. that remains to be seen. the expectation is you push up the amount of issuance relative to the amount of purchases by the fed. that is a supply demand shift that stevens the curve at the pens thetevens -- stee curve at the top. jonathan: we talk about reshape public opinion not by objective facts the by going towards people and trying to shape their personal beliefs. the way they feel emotionally. in markets, emotionally, bond strategists are always barest --
7:07 am
bearish and equity strategists are bullish. i just wonder how much this is really to do with hard facts. because think about it. what has changed in the last month? what's changed in terms of policy? ask anynberg: if you bond strategist or economist on your program, what is the probability of seeing a 4% growth rate over the course of the next four years, what would you have gotten his answers? you would've gotten zeros. you are seeing in the market a change in the probability of that attainment. of that goal. it's not facts, it's about what the odds are of changing the growth. ,f you add a 10% probability which had been 014% growth rate, and that fed through into nominal growth rates, the expectation is that's worth about 40 basis points of interest rates. that is how you can do the math
7:08 am
around the movies on the bond market. you see it in other markets as well that we will talk about later. we talk about metals and commodities. blackrockf rosenberg, fixed-income strategist is staying with us. outside of the business world, we go with emma chandra. emma: president-elect donald trump has found out his -- spelled out his policies. he will take aim at a controversial trade agreement. donald trump: i'm going to issue or notification of intent to withdraw from the transpacific partnership, a potential disaster for our country. we will negotiate fair, bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto american shores. emma: mr. trump wants to limit regulation. he says for every new regulation, to old ones must be scrapped. in chattanooga, tennessee, police arrested the driver of a non-or school bus that crashed,
7:09 am
killing six people. two dozen others were injured. the driver is accused of vehicular homicide in reckless driving. japan has withstood a potentially deadly earthquake with relatively little impact. the quake measured 7.4 and struck off the coast of fukushima. that's the home of the nuclear power plant rippled by quake and tsunami in 2011. the latest quake briefly knocked out the cooling system at a separate fukushima plant, which also caused a small three-foot tsunami. global news, 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm in the genre, this is bloomberg. -- i'm emmett chandra, this is bloomberg. david: the market has no doubt the federal reserve will move next month, as probability hits 100%. commodities are back in favor, set for the biggest three-day advance since may. we look at what is leading the rally and why goldman is bullish for the first time in three years. this is bloomberg. ♪
7:10 am
7:11 am
7:12 am
jonathan: this is "bloomberg daybreak," i'm jonathan ferro from new york. the four majoron benchmarks in the united states for the first time since 1999. will we set another record? futuresres up, s&p 500 positive six. another rally in the commodity --cess, crude, debbie g.i. wti of about 25%. yields rolling over, down three basis points. the nymex crude over $48. overall, we see in the best three-day commodity rally since may with gains across the board. the, copper, tin, all rising. the tin rally over the last few years. 44%. why is this happening?
7:13 am
we're joined by will kennedy and deb rosenberg -- jeff rosenberg still with us. the rally we've seen has been accredited to trump and perhaps an infrastructure plan. is that the real reason behind the commodity rally? the reason,art of but there was a good really going on before the election. , weave a lot of pessimism saw quite a slump that turned around mostly on the back of a stronger-than-expected chinese economy and also in some of the metals, actions taken by producers to manage supplies. you had demand better than expected in an interesting supply response in some commodities. alix: it's been relatively unnoticed leading up to the election. jeff, this really speaks to your world, goldman sachs saying by commodities in part of this inflation trade. the growth is going to get
7:14 am
better. the rally was in place ahead of time, but the big acceleration is the post trump election. in bond markets and macro markets of inflation expectations and growth expectations, you are also seeing in the commodities space, benefiting from the infrastructure expectations and overall from the growth expectation. you have the time aspect as well as but i think the big acceleration you can clearly see in the data is the postelection acceleration across commodities. chinaan: there is a aspect, but it's been marginal over the last month or so. i want to get your thoughts on that. we haven't talked about a big rally and base metals without talking about china. how much can the united states move the bar on its own without in mind? copper, you look at half of global copper demand comes from china. sachs, where they are saying people should be overweight and commodities for
7:15 am
the first time in years, they point to strengthening pmi globally in china, outside china, and the u.s.. no doubt that the candidate of the structure spending we're talking about would be very bullish for a range of natural resources. the output gap closing between the u.s. and china, that's bullish for commodities. so what you do on the inflation front? mr. rosenberg: we had a positive view going into the election. it a lot of with postelection pricingid for markets was to accelerate some trends that were already there. trends in terms of expectations of stabilizing inflation, trends in terms of moving away from monetary policy support towards more fiscal policy. you just got a big acceleration in that. there was a big performance in that time. they may have had a run-up from you quickly, but over the longer run, meaning three or six
7:16 am
months, we still think that inflation protection relative to nominal treasury exposure will be a better way of owning safe assets in your portfolio. short-term, we may have to get through some of this big increase in pricing. violations of got a little stretched in the short run. david: oil is up as well, even though we have a stronger dollar. how much of that is tied to the suppose it opec deal and where are we on that deal? the: there's no doubt people have become more optimistic that opec will put together some kind of deal to be ratified its material meeting a week tomorrow. this morning, a member of the nigeria delegation came out and said they expect a committee today to agree how the individual members within opec will divide up the burden of cuts, that's being seen as a key stumbling block to getting this deal done. if that's true, it's incredibly bullish for the market. i would caution that we need to hear from iraq and iran first. those of the two countries who have resisted any curbs on their
7:17 am
production. they account for $8 million -- 8 million barrels a day. once the saudi's of , we can be more optimistic about next week's opec's meeting. jonathan: -- we can be more optimistic about next week's opec meeting. jonathan: i wonder how much of an inflation had fake we will get for the mound market -- the bond market? mr. rosenberg: the bond market stories and adjusting one. oil and the dollar, it was mentioned before. we have the opec story that's dominating the short run moves. we also have another story around the election and the growth picture, which is the strengthening in terms of the dollar. that's often times been a headwind for the oil outlook. you see the typical inverse relationship between the dollar and oil. you see the far right-hand portion of that, we'll prices going up in the dollar going up.
7:18 am
there's been a breakdown because of the opec news. you have to keep an eye on the dollar. a year ago, it was all about currencies in china and commodities and a strong dollar titans financial conditions. oil and theack into concerns around inflation. your base effects start to not work out the way you were expecting, depending on what year-over-year levels in terms of oil, as we are down right of those low points around 45, you get to that point where you no longer get the base effect out of it. in the short run, we bounce off, you are back to the story of base effect. but you have to watch the dollar picture on will. wonder if they markets are picking and choosing the news they want to pay attention to. we want talk about fiscal stimulus, we don't want talk about deficit. we don't want to talk about trade. what does that do to commodities? we really just picking the good news? mr. rosenberg: we are selective
7:19 am
in the stories we are telling out of the room -- out of the news. we have a growth story that strong, it in commodity prices and interest rates in the equity markets. but then we have the anti-trade concerns in some of the emerging markets. that's one of the cautionary the consensus move towards this is growth friendly and inflationary in a good sense. we should be careful to some of the other signals in terms of the negative impacts that might occur because of the trade policies are being reflected in some of the emerging markets. alix: great stuff, will kennedy and jeffrey rosenberg, blackrock's chief income strategist. goldman sachs yesterday said they do think the dollar and oil can continue to rally. they don't because going to hurt financial conditions this time because emerging markets are going to spend what they make office rally. they are not going to save it,
7:20 am
and that changes the whole game. i could talk oil all day. an increase inof rates at 100%. we talk more about that, next. this is bloomberg. ♪
7:21 am
7:22 am
david: this is bloomberg, i'm david westin. it seems three things are certain, death, taxes, and a fed rate hike. has voted, declaring there is a 100% chance the fed will raise rates next month. jeffrey rosenberg, blackrock chief fixed income strategist, still with us. 100% for december, let's get that out of the way. next year, it's not that steeper rise, it's preconscious. are we getting to a point where janet yellen is getting her wish for a high-pressure economy? mr. rosenberg: if we weren't talking about the election results, we would have been
7:23 am
talking a lot more about what janet yellen said back in october in a speech which he introduced some ideas around running the economy a lot hotter, running a high-pressure economy. as a much more accommodative policy with the goal of running the economy hot to repair some of the damage done to labor markets, to try to get more people back into the labor markets. the 100% probability for december, that means december should be a nonevent, except that it's about what they forecast in terms of the future pace of future increases. in december of last year, they gave us four. this year, they will give us two. you're about to bring up something. let's go on the bloomberg, the story of the last couple of years has been as follows. the market is a lot more dovish than the federal reserve. how does that change in the next
7:24 am
couple of months? i wonder if the market becomes more hawkish than the federal reserve, and if the market has been right? mr. rosenberg: what you see is the market in the dots of gun closer with a big increase in nowpostelection result, they are less up in those front contract to see for 2017. that's good news. for a long time we had an issue and the market was right in the fed dropped it down. now the market has come up. there's less uncertainty about that impact of the pace of at least the near-term increases from the fed. the issues are a bigger story. because trump, the election, change it to the federal reserve. many more board seats and governors they're going to be coming up for renomination or new seats to be held. that's what a change the tenor of the fed. david: how hot is too hot? or is it too soon to asked that question? too hot is not
7:25 am
yet the case. inflation is still running below 2%. 1.8% forwe will get to pce, their target is 2%. to want is going to be a conversation we begin to have only once you get inflation above the 2% level. then the debate about already running it too hot, is the fed behind the curve, all that will come back in. we are still try to get inflation figures back up. base effect notwithstanding, it's really about the core levels of inflation. if we get core levels of inflation up to 2%, maybe we start to have that conversation. alix: what happens in the neutral rate? unusual rate has picked up a little bit, in positive territory. if it moves that far enough, it means the fed has more room to hike through the lower it is, the less they can hike. what happens? mr. rosenberg: when we talk about this idea of the long-run equilibrium rate or the neutral rate, it's really just another code word for growth. and what is the kind of growth that we can deliver?
7:26 am
lowe can only deliver levels of growth, 2% type levels of growth, and what comes out of that equation is these low levels of interest rates. if we fundamentally, through structural reform and fiscal policy, productivity changes, lest i say, immigration reform or demographic things you can change, change that outlook on growth and raise it, than the neutral rate isn't as low as we once thought and it can be higher. jonathan: you are not asking for much. jeffrey rosenberg, blackrock's chief fixed income strategist. pushing policy. the u.s. president elect says he will ditch the trend pacific partnership agreement on the first day in office. richard haass, president of the council on foreign relations joins us next. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ ways wins.

all four major equity benchmarks rallied all-time highs for the first time in 17 years as commodities surged. death, taxes, at a rate hike. the market is certain of the federal reserve moving next month as implied probability hits 100%. donald trump targets trade. the u.s. president elect says he will withdraw from the transpacific partnership on his first day in office. and that is what you need to know. jonathan: a big session for the markets, futures are up 51 points on the dow, positive five points on the s&p 500. a big rally in the commodity complex, crude up by over five full percentage point so far this week. we tread water now, and the g 10 is a mixed space for the dollar, with the cable rate dropping, down by about one third of 1%. the trunk news out of transition team last night, when the president elect released a video statement on his priorities for the first day he takes office. at the top of the list, is withdrawing from the asian trade
7:31 am
deal negotiated by his predecessor. and that gives us the morning must watch. donald trump: on trade, i'm going to issue our notification of intent to withdraw from the transpacific partnership area a potential disaster for our country. instead, we will negotiate fair, bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto american shores. joining us is dr. richard officialformer senior in georgia be bush's state department. welcome to the program. how big a deal is this? but adjusting he chose this point of trade -- it is interesting that he chose this point of trade to speak out about. it's an important source of general trade in calming down the world. the only good news from where i sit, because i believe in trade, david, is that he talked about bilateral trade agreements. it's the first time we've actually heard something.
7:32 am
to third-best,st get me wrong, but the fact that at least he, in get me wrot that at least he, in principle, shows some openness to trade, to me, that was slightly new. david: how realistic is that? done world war ii, we've is multilaterally. it's hard to negotiate with 200 some countries. dr. haass: it's beyond inefficient. it's not as good. there are certain issues we can deal with bilaterally. subsidies and things like that. tpp is a far preferable approach. bilateral trade agreements with south korea, so there are examples. we have trilateral with nafta, which he also says he wants to reopen and renegotiate. this is second or third best, and what else can i say? jonathan: let's talk about this region specifically to begin with. the vacuum this will leave, whether the happiest person is a certain president in china. dr. haass: i think she jinping -- she's in pain -- i think the
7:33 am
chinese president is feeling good. it's interesting to take a step back. the big idea of mr. obama's foreign-policy was the rebalance or pivot to asia. this is the economic component, it's like a three-legged stool without the third leg. to me, is an unfortunate way to begin. mr. trump is inheriting an unbelievably full, difficult inbox. what he is now done is taken that already piled high in box something else to it. now he's basically got to deal with the trade issue, which was essentially settled. much of a was too symbol for him and hillary clinton and bernie sanders. the only thing all three candidates agreed on was that tpp was bad, which is unfortunate, because it turns out that tpp is actually quite good for the united states. alix: can you want me forward six to nine months, he's trying
7:34 am
to make bilateral deals happen and he says this is really hard, i can do it. how does that play out? newhaass: you don't have trade agreements for several years. you betrayed need -- you could try to renegotiate tpp, it's just ask for an early difficult. if the thing i have been favoring, i hope it's not too late, is he gets to the point where he says this is not working. he could have a side agreement. you can keep tpp and then he could negotiate a deal with the congress, they could find all the understandings and side agreements they want to quote unquote improve tpp and deal with currency and workers who have lost jobs, train ability, safety nets, the approach that i favor. it's not inconceivable, but i think it's extraordinarily difficult, simply because tpp has taken on a symbolism for economic nationalists. my hunch is is probably done. in -- is it as important what he did not say?
7:35 am
he'd did not say there going to declare a current in the later in china on day one, is that somewhat encouraging? dr. haass: we are all looking for glimmers of hope. to talk about reopening nafta, canada and mexico will have their issues. in principle, it kind of depends. nafta is an old agreements, there are things that could and should be done to improve it. it doesn't look like a trade war with china. that would be a truly. phyrric war. not bet that we may going down that path again is potentially ok. jonathan: disinflation is a story that played out, the guy on the campaign trail is different to the president. i wonder whether pulling out and saying tpp is dead is just an easy compromise for this guy to appease the electorate, the
7:36 am
people who voted for him, but not actually do so much damage given that we don't have tpp anyways. dr. haass: what a set of optimists this morning. there's always a question between cap any other government, there's never a one-to-one linkage or correspondence. we saw that on obamacare and other things. what i don't know is what's the substitute? collateral trade deals, do they trying to a dozen or so deals, what tpp effectively try to do, or something fundamentally different on the details? if it is fundamentally different, he won't succeed. it's a good deal for the united states. already low.re everyone has access to us. this would have moved a long ways towards leveling the playing field and would've helped american exporters. the question is, can you get through that bilateral slices rather than doing something that is a loaf approach? david: it's hard to know what all caps policies will be, and that's why we are so focused on the team is assembling around him.
7:37 am
really only on one member right now, for this area, and as national security adviser, general flynn. what should he be looking for? what sort of team would help him best a cop was what's best for the united states? dr. haass: team is right, you been looking at everything in isolation. not to look at the team and what is the balance. general flynn is not your traditional choice for national security advisor. some baggage, it given some of his public positions and views on things like russia, on turkey. this, to me, would increase the desirability of having someone like mitt romney at state, a more moderate, more balanced quarter", more reassuring figure for the world. someone like general mattis. announce general flynn in isolation, rather than looking at the totality of it. you really do need a balance of strains -- expertise, government. david: does the appointment of
7:38 am
general flynn indicate how he will handle the national security? henry kissinger, who is a substantial policy person, other people, condi rice, who is more of a convener. dr. haass: the job is to hats. one is the person who makes process work, the other is a counselor. the danger and difficulty is make a sure the counselor hat, the advisor hat doesn't get in the way of the person who ensures due process. that's a big question about general flynn, whether you can get the balance right. it's not easy. it's awfully difficult. i think what it shows, because we don't know the answer to that question, is the white house centrality. that's been a real shift in american foreign-policy over the last couple of decades. of the nsc staff is somewhere between five and 10 times as large now under susan rice is it was very i don't think it's five or 10 times
7:39 am
better. me is that youo really have a white house centric operation. if you look at this white house, you have the president, you have mr. bannon, you have the chief of staff, general flynn, phelan numbers. a certain white house centrality to the entire national security process. alix: looking ahead to secretary of state, romney, rudy giuliani, senator bob corker, governor nikki haley and john bolton. if you were to outline one adjective of the foreign policy based on who might get that slot, what would it be? dr. haass: i don't see a consistency in those names. if you are donald trump, you rent a policy of quote unquote america first. let's not have any more foreign-policy than we need, which i think is mature trump's approach. that would suggest the more combative people, particularly given your he have general flynn , who is plenty combative, might not be who you need. that might argue to me senator corker or someone like governor romney. those are more traditional people.
7:40 am

aircraft division. i should point out the new ceo will replace the chief airline salesman last month. it little bit of a shakeup over at boeing. jonathan: thank you. it's probably the most talked @realaccount on twitter, donald trump. curiously, this came out. many people would like to see nigel farage represent great britain as their ambassador to the united states. he would do a quote great job. the u.k. government says there is no vacancy. they haven't completely ruled out of the prospect of this happening. we were talking about diplomacy 101 in the commercial break. this is quite strange and not in that book. >> i was probably cutting school that day. jonathan: what do you think of this kind of approach to elevate a certain nigel farage to the
7:45 am
position he has been put in by the president-elect? >> nigel farage will never be ambassador to the united states, and it's hard to see how this keeps the special relationship special. it anoints rather than a points nigel farage as a special envoy. he sees himself in the same modes -- mold of economic nationalism and populism. i think it's a freebie. it's one that you could give a shout out on twitter. in the meantime, britain is it thenearly well served by former national security advisor to the former prime minister. he's a real professional. over the years, i would say britain has been better served by its ambassadors and in general, by its diplomatic work than any other country. one of the reasons this relationship has been quoted" special, in this country has punched above its weight is it tracks -- it attracts extraordinarily talented people
7:46 am
and they tend to send us their best. david: you mentioned the inbox that mr. trump faces. what does this tell us about the inbox in respect to europe? there's a lot going on in europe, not just brexit, but the elections in france, on the merkel, the referendum and italy. is a lot going on, not to speak of latimer putin. dr. haass: -- of vladimir putin. dr. haass: there's a lot going on. december 4 and italy, is mr. ramsey loses that vote, and he may well, that could possible trigger as early as december 5 a real economic crisis in europe, real pressure on banks. more broadly, europe in a couple of years has gone from the most stable, protectable, boring part of the world to anything but. it's unfortunate. the last time europe was interesting, it was an unhappy story for the entire world. we are seeing populism and nationalism and russian aggression. ,he entire european project which was one of the great compliments of modern history to
7:47 am
make war unthinkable in europe is beginning to unravel. trump's, part of mr. inbox, we knew was going to be the middle east. we knew about asia and north korea and china. but suddenly in the last couple of years, europe has gone from stability and almost protectable boredom to now something that is incredibly dynamic and in currently dangerous. jonathan: america promoted that stability and a very big way, historically. we are talking about the united states leaving a vacuum in one region of the global economy, stepping away from tpp. at the same time, he is influencing what's happening in europe. he's trying to do that. that tweet is a joke, was if you're in laugh, maybe it funny. but there is some significance, richard. he's trying to shape relations with the u.k. with for roche. -- with nigel farage. dr. haass: we take for granted european stability, but it's one of the real assets and real positives in the world.

it was great that we didn't have to worry about it, it meant europe was more often than not a potential partner with united states in dealing with other troubles around the world. it's almost like oxygen. you don't notice it until you are missing it. european stability tends to be a geopolitical oxygen. we have to be very careful not to do anything that upsets it. we raised questions about our commitment to allies. i think there is some repair work that the united states needs to be doing with europe to reassure it. right now, there's more on the circuits of europe then europe can effectively handle. a positive result potentially in france the other day, that's a piece of good news. but we have to worry about italy and more broadly, this is still -- the sheer number of difficult challenges facing europe, we haven't even mentioned low economic growth. europe can get out of its own way. those issues of are internal to europe, not something the u.s. can affect.
7:49 am
let's help mr. trump with his inbox when it comes to europe. what could he do to help europe and not get in the way? lots of those issues, and a think we are a major player. where we can help europe is geopolitical. you continue to strengthen nato. i would have some outreach to russia, if you forgive the phrase, i would have a reset. i would try to work things with latimer putin, sent -- with vladimir putin, send him an envoy and try to stabilize that relationship. the geopolitical side of europe and buy them some time and space to deal with their issues, brexit, whatever happens in italy. jonathan: let's wrap it up with some optimism. is that one of the positives that may come out, the relationship with russia? should we show some more respect with latimer putin -- vladimir putin? dr. haass: the two media places
7:50 am
to look is ukraine, whether we see any change in russian policy on that in crimea. i don't expect that, but in eastern ukraine. then we don't see further russian mischiefmaking in other parts of europe, particularly nato, and in the biggest most immediate question is syria. will we see some russian restraint in terms of what they do and the kind of support they lend mr. assad. haass, theichard president of the council of foreign relations and a former senior official in president george w. bush's office. let's get your headlines outside of the world of business and more with emma chandra. buy akkr has agreed to japanese automaker for $4.5 billion. that represents a 20% premium over the last closing price. nissan owns a 42% stake in cap sonic -- it's spinning off less

7:52 am
7:53 am
7:54 am
alix: oil is relatively flat, but nonetheless, there's optimism in the market that it opec deal can get done. goldman sachs is saying a stronger opec cut rationale is raising the short-term price target to $55 a barrel in the first half of 2017. here the charts that explain why. his comes to us from goldman sachs. the blue line is the market in balance as of the end of september, if there is a cut from opec. the orange bar is if there is no cut from opec and there is no oil freeze. they point out that even if opec continues pumping at this level, you will still see a deficit in the third quarter of 2017. if there is a cut, you will see that deficit start to occur in the second quarter of 2017. the rationale is opec, why not? opec can opt for a short-term production cut and help balance the markets faster than if they didn't. that's a huge rationale for goldman and why they see opec
7:55 am
agreeing to the deal. the other part is we've seen a lot of production rollover, especially in high-cost areas like china, mexico, venezuela, u.s. conventional as well as columbia. this chart tells that story for production in that area is down under 12 million barrels of oil a day. if demand picks up and demand holds up, you really are going to feel that squeeze sooner rather than later. the real question then becomes what does a successful opec cut wind up looking like in the market? goldman said it wasn't about the absolute level of oil, it was instead about the curve. this chart is the one month to five-year forward curve of brent , prices out in five years. it currently is negative, that means the prices are much cheaper today than they will be in five years. what that does, if you are a u.s. producer, you can go in and hedge and cell production forward. prices are much juicier at the
7:56 am
back end of the curve. goldman says if we are able to see a deficit in an opec cut, you can actually see prices are much more extensive today than they will be in five years. that hurts the hedgers and hurts the u.s. producers. that would be the perfect cut, lowering the curve to squeeze the market. jonathan: that's a great chart, it been a big story in this market. coming up in the next hour of michael -- bob michele. equities sitting at all-time highs, we are up 53 points for dow futures, positive five on the s&p. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪

8:01 am
trump: i will issue a notification of intent to withdraw from the transpacific partnership, a potential disaster for our country. david: that is what you need to know. digging deeper into what you are talking about. this is what we have seen in the last two weeks. -- ever sinceis the election, you can see all of these rallying to record highs. record highs since 1999. that comes at the expense of bonds. bloomberg the aggregate barclays index which takes into account sovereigns and corporate's. that is the blue line. the white line is the smp. what we have seen in the past few months is that bonds and stocks have rallied together. that has been a big worry.
8:02 am
forced to then sell stocks? the answer so far is no. does this inverse correlation that we have been used to over the last few years continue? what we know is that we have seen more volatility within bonds than we have in stocks. the white line is volatility for treasuries and the blue line is volatility for stocks. the move is well below the average for volatility which means volatility could continue in treasuries while stocks continue lower. jonathan: let's talk about this. particularly that chart that shows the divergence. . want to bring in bob michele head of global fixed income for fx and commodities. historically, a story that makes sense. equities underperform
8:03 am
while the other outperforms. and recently,es no. cannot divergence continue? maybe it is time for somebody else to do the work? i think the divergence continues. i think what we have to get our mind around is that we lived in an era of distortion, driven by monetary policy since 2009. and it is clear that is going to begin to fade, certainly in the u.s., you are left to market dynamics and in a re-fleeting economy, lawns look too expensive and equities look like good value. we lived the idea that in a distorted market -- we are likely to live in a distorted market for a long time to come. every talking about a marginal shift as opposed to free markets
8:04 am
, making a come back without a central bank involved? to: i think the fed is about lead a seismic shift and i don't know if they are even aware. when you listen to the rhetoric coming out, it is too sanguine. they talk about it as if it is close to zero on a real basis. .25-.5, hugely negative. it was going to be a difficult couple of months anyway because u.s. corporate profits have picked up so the earnings recession was over. you are looking at commodity prices picking up against the year over year headline inflation data was going to be much higher because energy has stabilized around $45 a barrel. and you had talk of the ecb tapering. yet -- behind that behind that enormous, yet
8:05 am
and it istimulus coming in tax cuts and it may are in the regulation which enormously powerful tailwinds. alix: what is the pace of reallocation for that? during the taper tantrum, we saw the flow out of bonds and into stocks. what kind of pace can we see this time? bob: a lot of that comes from what central banks actually do and what the normalization process looks like. if i were on the fed i would advocate raising rates in december and going every other meeting in 2017, and i know that seems aggressive from where we were three weeks ago, at this time last year, that is what we talked about four 2016. think that is the case, i you could take the 30 year down channel in bonds and create the mirror image of that and that is what bond yields will look like for the next 4-8 years. monster: that is a
8:06 am
call. a savings glut, an aging forcesphic -- structural that should keep a lid on potential bear markets in bonds. what do you say to that? bob: the secular stagnation argument is real, a cousin or has been a preference for savings over investment over the last 8 years. but how much of that has been driven by regulatory reform? how much has been driven by our tax structure and recovering from the financial crisis? are we getting to a point in time where, if you put in place something like trump did not mix trump-economics, that actually begins to create the incentive to spend, consume and invest, rather than safe.
8:07 am
and i think that is an enormously powerful tailwinds. i step back and say three weeks ago there was a 5% probability that donald trump would win the presidency and that the senate would go republican. the house, everyone had as going republican. that 5% probability is now everyone's central case. you are telling me in two weeks time, the markets have completely shifted from three years, theom eight central scenario? i don't buy it. david: you must have some 74 janet yellen. she wants to run the economy under a higher pressure. but month after month, predicting that will be here and it hasn't happened. so it makes sense that they would because his right now, right? because we don't know what will get done with fiscal stimulus and reform and corporate tax reform and things like that.
8:08 am
we also have betrayed issue overhanging us. isn't it sensible for the fed to because this? bob: i think so. this is why i don't think the yields go in a straight line higher and why this week i think wey look a bit oversold but are shifting into a time where instead of buying backups, you should buy rallies because there is a form of policy stimulus coming. and we don't know what it looks like but i think it would be naive to assume that it is not ining and the only game left town is monetary policy. that story is done. quickly, to wrap this segment up, a change in expectations isn't enough. an important book in economics was written and it talked about animal spirits. how importantut that is? have we stirred that kind of thing up and can it be fundamental, can it be real?
8:09 am
bob: a lot of this will be led by companies. and their willingness to get out and invest, because either they are in scented for a number of reasons or, they are starting to see consumption pickup. that pre-election, we were already starting to see sales pickup and revenue pickup and the topline pickup. and we had seen a lot of stabilization come out of china, in particular. so there was some spending growth that was occurring anyway. i think you will see a lot more coming in behind that. i think it is more than animal spirits. unknown.-- it is an but we can talk as though the .25-.5 and itd furat at doesn't make sense in an environment where you are going to get forms of policy stimulus. bob michele, staying with

8:15 am
conducts -- the commodity complex. atn on the wti, we roll over $47.87. alix: a little bit of lightness when it comes to crude but commodities have had a monster rally in the past few weeks and are set for the biggest three-day advance since may. copper is up 21% in the past month. nickel up 14%. , ill with us is bob michele keep asking this same question -- we say it is all about donald trump and his infrastructure plan but the rally started before the election. what is happening? bob: we can't give him credit for everything, he hasn't taken office yet. have to look at the commodity complex, having seen a lot of reduction cuts. we know about that in oil. we know a lot of shale production was shattered.
8:16 am
a lot of mines have been shuttered as well. what we started to see in the middle of this year is that china has stabilized again and they started another infrastructure spend. net consuming and consuming a lot of commodities. consuming copper before it took off in the past couple of weeks. trump has added fuel to the fire, it is now everyone is looking at a bigger unknown infrastructure spend coming in the u.s., on top of already limited production and it has pushed prices up a lot. real: how much of this is and animal spirits? specifically with china? is transforming from a manufacturing economy and a construction-based economy into services, goods and consumer. copper are they consuming? how much are they using of zinc?
8:17 am
in the united states, how much copper will they put in the wall? think china is using a lot of copper. and for us, the issue is looking at continued consumption and continued imports into china. and that keeps growing and accelerating. so there is a lot going on on the consumption side. i think there are other parts of the global economy that are also looking at spending. also talking about increased spending. so it isn't just the u.s. or china. there are other parts of the economy that are spending. goldman sachs went long on commodities yesterday. if you have more demand than there is supplied, that is all that matters. put the commodity markets together for me. i find this amazing that the pendulum has swung from deflation and going long on

8:32 am
i think they certainly are at the level of prior administrations and ahead of some. what we don't know is whether they are building up a backlog subcabinet, who are critical to implementing the president's program. are those cabinet officers being properly vetted? are their names going through the fbi? so that when the clearances are bee, they will be ready to nominated shortly after the inauguration? the top level people have already had some form of writing through security clearances or otherwise. you run into less of that the lower down you go and the more time it takes for the fbi to do clearances so it is imperative to start now with the fbi. focus on the do
8:33 am
cabinet secretaries and ignore the assistant secretaries and the level below the top level, and that is where a lot of the work that's done. talk to us about that process. actually does that that thing? do they have their team put together to facilitate that now? boyden: it can be divided between the mystic physicians and national security positions, but for most physicians, the vetting is done by the fbi. form thatends on a has to be filled out which is quite lengthy and tedious to fill out. it takes time. easier itou move, the is. the older you are, the harder it is. that is where it starts. if you have assets, even modest assets, you have to go through a financial clearance. and that can take a lot of time and cause discomfort.
8:34 am
so it is a process that should begin soon. i don't think they have named the white house counsel. person is named, it will go faster. have not heard about the white house counsel. we have the national security adviser, chief of staff -- you george the council to h.w. bush and the white house counsel at the white house. how central is that and can it be a roadblock to moving forward with the appointments? h can be a roadblock if they don't get the person nominated. that the current person of transition, he may be moving names through the fbi but i have not heard that. the protocol is normally a call from the white house counsel to do that. week at a conference last , and hesenator grassley
8:35 am
was lobbying me, of all people? as if i could do something about it? to get him on the council because he said we had seven ready to go but we can't do it without a white house counsel. so that job is important. david: you point to an interesting phenomenon. a republican house, senate and white house. does that increase the time pressure on them because they don't have an excuse to move forward? supreme court justice, and legislation, and talking about tax reform or redoing obamacare -- how much pressure is on them to get their act together so they can move right away? boyden: there is pressure to do that he does the rule of thumb in washington is that you only have a six month window to launch policy, because then the
8:36 am
bureaucracy closes around you and washington closes around you. getting is a premium on a fast start, because you only have so much time to initiate the initiatives you want to do. and it will take quite some time to get them started. it requires a minimum of key people in the subcabinet positions. david: i want to turn to europe does you are the ambassador to the european union. the president-elect is preempting me by tweeting overnight, suggesting who the next ambassador should be from the u.k. to the u.s., saying it should be nigel farage. we have it appear. "he would do a great job." do you have a reaction to that? asking theresa may to send him over? this is donald trump tweaking saying to send nigel farage
8:37 am
over. boyden: that is a little unusual so i don't know how that works out. at the end of the day, i don't mean to diminish anyone who , buts to or from london the relationship is so close that often the issues are discussed straight by the staff with the british staff, it is only a five hour flight over there. so london with the embassy and the ambassador, it probably is less important from a strictly technical point of view there rush it would be or china or a far-off country where you don't have the same kind of affinity -- that wee ways have with britain. david: what would you be advising donald trump about what he needs to do with respect to the inbox he has on europe? political developments all over
8:38 am
the place from brexit to the french vote to the italian referendum. vladimir putin making various sounds. what would you advise he needs to do? i think there have been some questions about him in europe, so i think he needs to go over there. and i think you would solve all the problems and questions about went overon if you there and talked to the leaders. he needs to meet them face to face. telephone is nice but face to face is better. a trip to europe would, i think, be one of the first priorities. our largest trading partner, one of our strongest allies, and we have a trade relationship that means our economies are intertwined. and if we want to grow at the rate he wants to grow, we have themt up to the rate for

time for battle of the charts. lisa abramowicz is taking on alix steel. lisa, your chart is related to u.s. existing home sales coming out today? beautifully done. [laughter] a look atnted to take how big of an effect the rise in benchmark borrowing costs could have on the u.s. economy, more specifically, through what we have seen in new home sales and existing home sales. , we have seenek the biggest one-week rise in mortgage rates for 30 year 2013, amid the taper tantrum. is this the beginning of a rapid rise in mortgage costs? you can see that the low cost of borrowing mortgages has andrpinned this real rise recovery in new home sales and existing home sales? it seems that new home sales have risen to the highest level
8:55 am
since 2007. will this stop that? will this take it back? one of the biggest questions people have today. alix: i like this. if you look at 2013 when you saw the big rise in mortgages, you did see a fall in new home sales. and application's have been falling a bit. so i agree with you. david: but it lacks a little bit. lisa: that's right. we won't necessarily see it in today's home sales. cap: i am looking at small risk premiums. we have seen the monster rise so does it continue? the yellow line is the average for the risk premium. as you wind up having a stronger rise in risk premium, it winds up meaning that perhaps they are undervalued. so if you go to the long-term value, how much of a rally will we have to see? winduld hit 1400 and you up having not a lot of exposure international sales, so that is a bonus, and deregulation.

withdraw from the transpacific partnership, potential disaster for our country. david: that is what you need to know. alix: talking about how we are seeing equities after the monster rally yesterday. we are off the highs of the higher.and trades are yesterday, the only second to make all time highs in the s&p was industrials sector. one, the rally is not brought a base or there's a lot more sectors and that need to start making record highs. more momentum for the index paris at five of 11 are under highs by double digits. something to look at through the session. .8 hours away from turkey earnings triple output for mail up by 5%. earnings for a while put for hormel, up by 5%.
9:02 am
on the downside, jack in the box, that company cutting full-year outlook. about a: i want to talk big aggressive reaction into equities with equity markets at all time highs. mark kiesel from california per you know what of the charter like. equities are surging. not a chart and we saw earlier in the year, it was 2 asset classes in tandem. isn't that a view at pimco? it can continue for little while longer. the reason is investors basically were owning a lot of bonds and hedging for deflation. we had already seen prior to trump, inflation risk was picking up with wages and a tighter labor market.
9:03 am
under trump, the potential for tax cuts and a potential for big infrastructure program. were so premiums which compressed are starting to reprice with higher inflation risk causing rates to go up and the yield curve to steepen. what is happening if you think about the markets, a big rotation into the reflationary hedges. not is that investors are going into equities, but you are seeing a big outperforms and the bond market for tips. that is actually a sector we have been overweight and we think tips will continue to perform in the bond market. jonathan: you have been on on the tips call. it is a consistent view at the moment. were you what consists is inflation how inflation will be in the coming years. you are saying we will get this big boon. vocus through that. mark: yes, i seem to the pickup in inflation will be relatively
9:04 am
moderate. that will allow the fed it to raise rates but in a gradual fashion. inthink the fed will go and december. inflation should pick up because the labor market is tightening and we are going to see modest growth pickup. we do have headwinds. the headwinds are simply china is slowing and that will impact the global economy. the dollar has been strengthening significantly. it is mainly due to rising interest rate differentials. that is going to create a headwind. while we see inflation picking up, it should be rather gradual. david: a number of people are fullg, we are close to employment. if you inject fiscal stimulus on is at least ahich real possibility with president-elect trump, you could have substantial inflation. where do think it goes wrong?
9:05 am
mark: the thesis is possible and that is why we oqn tips -- own tips. were inflation does pick up. these taxy is that packages and infrastructure spending are going to take time. and likely once they get implemented, it could take the nine months, 12 months for the actual. and having offset to that is the negatives which are the trade, the dollar headwinds and immigration. the markets are romance and big positive surprise under trump and we are arguing there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the protectionism, and at work -- immigration and trade and that should dampen some of the high animal spirits your say. you maye tips call a have been first in front and center and not everybody is jumping on the tips bandwagon. a monster rally.
9:06 am
at one point, does it become too expensive? mark: sure. we think tips have further to run and the reason is if you look at the break even inflation on ten-year tips, you are under 10%. if you look at a 10-20 year history, those breaking even, spare value should be closer to 2.3%, 2.4%. probably another 30 or 40 base points on tips. most importantly, what we are seeing at the marketplace and visit churros equities is reflationary assets under old by the marketplace. trump was a big surprise. nobody was thinking about a inflation. -- tail that is why tips can run much further. jonathan: you were out front add a we talked about it many times. , intoection, the result your centro theme.
9:07 am
what -- central theme. what have you been selling off the back of the presidential result in the last couple of weeks? what if you been rotating out of? mark: in general, we were running durations underweight for the front end of the curve because we felt the risk was a high rate. that was the tightness of the labor market and not so much trump. with credit under trump, we want to own more cash. trump creates right and left risk.- tail you will have more volatility uncertainty and credit a you want to upgrade quality. we have been de-risking and holding more cash and reduce some of the high yields, especially energy sector which has rallied in the triple c sector. we are more concerned about hospitals and where the opportunity lies in the credit
9:08 am
market is to take advantage of the volatility and scale into positions that are fundamentally strong and may have been under sold under trump. i would highlight emerging markets, namely brazil. you make the case, a stronger dollar, emerging market fx selling off and do risking? how do you make the case for brazil? idiosyncratic story. if you look at mexico, 33% of exports go to the unitas eight. .ith brazil, 3.7 -- of exports go to the united states. it was linked to commodities. brazil has turned more domestic, less trade oriented. that economy went through the worst recession in 50 years. i was there on the ground meeting with the central-bank and all of the biggest companies. over half of the biggest
9:09 am
companies have new ceos and cfos under the new president. the key with brazil is inflation is coming down unlike the united states were the inflationary potential to go higher. brazil, a huge recession and inflation's calming down. that will allow central banks and we think they will allow them to go down more than priced in. country where the economic fundamentals are turned in a major way. lower inflation and positive potential for surprises on earnings. that is one that has an upside. david: thank you. that is mark kiesel. of an update on news outside the business world, emma chandra with first word. emma: donald trump said no more business as usual in washington. in a video outlining his agenda, he announced numerals with a lobbyist for the donald trump: on ethics reform to drain the
