the question is, what did you miss? crude oil trading the highest and nine months after opec oil's, the cartel's first output in eight years. in hollywood, and expected to be named donald trump's treasury secretary, without any government experience. supermarkets are facing what could be called a price war. .e dig into food deflation the numbers don't lie. let's get it started as we had close. the abigail doolittle is standing by. abigail: mixed trading heading to the close. still on pace for a record close.

>> surprisingly, what is dragging on the nasdaq, what would be in the deep decline are shares,the technology facebook, amazon, alphabet. comments,re cautious saying there is significant risk plaguing facebook. only trevor going forward is user growth. he has taken down his estimate in that could be dragging on other internet shares. something else that could be at play because oil is the big story today, the big rally you were just talking about. we take a look at 5201. we may be looking at a sector rotation. reaching out to oppenheimer, he agrees there is a sector rotation.

doing well in orange. this is a sector rotation into energy. we do see a little of a decline. defensive shares, utility shares their in blue. it is pretty interesting there. stocks, onenergy part of the energy complex outperforming in a huge way by the u.s. shale reducers including continental resources and petroleum. earlier told us these are two of his favorite names. he really likes continental resources for the fact the company has not hedged in 2017 cell of oil does rise, it will flow right through the bottom line for the company. he did meet with management recently and out of those meetings, he believes they could report in the next quarterly 20ort that their wells are percent better than what investors are thinking now. perhaps an upside to numbers there. scarlet: thank you so much, abigail doolittle.

joe: president-elect donald trump said today he plans to nominate foreman -- former goldman sachs partner as the next u.s. treasury secretary. he said his main focus would be tax reform. financial markets -- our next guest says some of those reforms could hit investors in unexpected ways. a bloomberg view columnist and portfolio manager, he joins us from atlanta. has been election, it a party in u.s. financial markets. everyone is thinking growth and tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks, all good, finance is back. what might they be missing? >> to your point about tax reform, a big thing people have been talking about his potential of repatriating overseas cash and the windfall could be. . any money that comes over immediately gets taxed. $100 billion tax before corporate america, if you think of it that way, it could be a

big liquidity drain. scarlet: do we have historical examples? under george w. bush there was as well, overseas. does that result in what you are forecasting? >> it was 2004 and we had a lot of volatility. i have seen it was not that meaningful impact. joe: what about the bigger picture? trump making a big deal. part of the reason trump one is because he did shockingly well in these states with republican have not done well in a while. the carrier plan which will keep some jobs in indiana. is there any prospect in your view that he could change the trajectory of your view in the economy these days? oneveryone is so focused trade and overseas places, but the american south has been a big winner as well. wall, i-65,e

nothing is preventing carrier from a few states out. scarlet: the big issue is demographics, the age of the workforce whether it is wisconsin or ohio, and less about globalization, china, mexico, stealing jobs. >> right. if you are thinking about employment needs and you see a shrinking population, you have got to be worried. joe: do you think there is any hope for a revival or should the government not think about that and the future of america is in the south and the big cities in the warmer areas and we would as muchigate the pain as possible in a state like wisconsin or minnesota? >> it looks like a traditional tax giveaway to keep production

in the states. that can work for a while. the question is just from the standpoint of trump's's republican party, will georgia and florida and texas and these other republican states be happy if trump gives away, potentially starting the southern states. you may see a north versus south production war. scarlet: there is a role universities could play here. wisconsin, ohio state, to get people in those states. the graduates who are successful in the believing those states, whether it is the west coast, the east coast, whether it is south, rather than building up some of their expertise in their home states. you saw the urban areas and veryollege campus as well, democrat. the midsize postindustrial cities were very republican. even within the state, the question is even if madison can thrive, what does that mean for the rest of the state? it does not seem like they can do anything there. fascinatingthe

trends in u.s. politics is hillary clinton did decent in and in texas. though she could not flip over those states and she did very poorly in the upper midwest. democrats banking on the fact that may be the south could turn blue in a few cycles. what are the key drivers of the trend? you have a great perspective on that. in theh is changing racial composition and the professionalization, more of the sort of new companies building, what are the different factors going on here? >> something i was talking about a couple of years ago, if you look at between 2004 and 2012, you have borders states whether it is west virginia or indiana or places like that, the world right started voting like southern whites. you see a southern white voting path moving north. the things i thought would eventually happen not this year but in the future is that you would eventually get what trump did in the rural midwest. he taught -- turned minnesota

wisconsin and minnesota into georgia. who will be that candidate who can get suburban atlanta, houston, phoenix, to vote like suburban chicago and boston and philadelphia? that will happen but how? doing well,anta is georgia is doing better. what can states like ohio and wisconsin learn? what are the best practices they can pick up and implement in ohio and wisconsin outside of the big cities? >> ironically what got the new south going was its recruitment sort of mentality and trying to bring in people from the north. one thing that started that off, the orange bowl in florida and the rose bowl in california were ways to get well-educated midwesterners. tonically, trump has turned putting up walls and restricting trade immigration and recruitment. the midwest needs to take on the

openness and inclusiveness attitude to get people to appreciate it for what it has to offer. with colleges, the low cost of living, plentiful water. it needs to adopt the practices the south did 50 or 60 years ago. take a long time but it will be interesting to watch them play out. bloomberg view portfolio -- thank you for joining us. scarlet: next up, what to do next with these two mortgage financiers. this is bloomberg. ♪

have energy stocks, financial stocks and everyone else. energy up by 4.8 percent on the day. if we drill into it you can see all green here. looking further into energy the only sector that had a loss was refining and marketing. they do not do as well when -- when oilices prices rise because they lose their margin. green across-the-board. 100% in terms of the members of that group gaining. a big day for these energy names. in the s&prformers 500, energy companies dominate. marathon oil 21%. transocean 17% gain. murphy oil, ditto. it was a blockbuster day for energy. joe: those are some huge moves pre-government bond markets, the we just10 year yields, talked about 10 year yields

around the highest level in a year. two year yields higher. they got more good data. everythingeels like is coming together for higher rates. you definitely want to keep your eye out on that. you can see how they have just taken off since the election earlier in the month. they were at 1.7 percent. pretty impressive month. scarlet: pretty remarkable. you have the move up in the dollar. this is the bloomberg dollar index drifting higher. before things giving it surpassed the high we saw in january when the fed was rate indexes. investors are pricing in a faster pace of tightening in 2017. opec production cut is boosting oil link to currencies. we are talking but the colombian peso, and the canadian dollar.

heard from today regarding what happened. >> we expected a deal. one of the key reasons is the economics, not the politics, the economics were compelling. a had a rebalance market in the line of sight. had a rebalanced market in the line of sight. they had to pull production forward. the main reason is inventory normalization, not price. >> for us to our long-term investors, we look at the people theyring together and say are fighting against history. history has spoken and technology. the cost of producing crude due to fracking technology has dramatically changed the marginal economics of oil. it is not going back to where it was. at opec i want to look supply versus prices. common inside the bloomberg. packellow line is opec out -- output.

the purple line is brent crude, output.rnational prices moved together. there is a ramp up before the financial prices, then the plunge in 2009. there is the commodity boom and then bust. what happened since then? shifted, saudi arabia unexpectedly. we will keep pumping for oil. we are going to go after market share as opposed to price. it was to drive u.s. shale producers out of business. joe: that is a great chart. that gap is massive. scarlet: for more on opec's historic deal, i want to bring in my guests. david, let me start with you. when we say the deal has gotten done, there are a couple of hiccups that have to be ironed out. david: sure. the first, are they going to comply with the quotas? some has been a history of

questionable fudging and cheating on the quotas. if you look at russia there has been a long history of promising or suggesting they would cut and then not themselves cutting. the question is will it actually happened? joe: philip, let's say it does happen. this agreement is put in place. countries all have different interests. are differentsts from iran. how do think that is going to play out? will there be a time where they can find a strategy on which they are all aligned? phillip: david was right on where he said history was against them. has to beminister called a $56 billion man. added $56entially

billion by talking. it has been clear for a long time that saudi should not agree to to do anything unless they cut three barrels or four barrels for every barrel they cut, and that is what they did. at the same time what everybody misses, they talk about production. saudi arabia is sitting on 300 million barrels of oil and then said -- inventory and just they have made more available to asian customers. they may actually boost sales because they are in a battle for market share with russia. if russia complies than saudi arabia will comply. stay high for a while. history is ultimately against to think about other countries, this is every man for himself. it has been for a long time. as an economist i have studied these cartels.

they do not work. scarlet: i like the way you put that. every man for himself. david, when saudi arabia went ahead with market share first strategy, that was a pump out will policy. has that been abandoned or suspended temporarily? david: it is hard to tell. until we see the data on what is being produced and exported, the proof is in the pudding. scarlet: this is another way of asking the question. did it work when saudi arabia follow that strategy? david: they got part of the way there. u.s. production did fall. but not to the extent that it cleaned up a -- or stopped global supply. that did not keep the price higher. that did not eventually lead to a jump in production. there is still a cap you can see on how prices -- how high prices

can go before more production comes online. joe: what do you see as the u.s. production? phillip: u.s. oil has gotten an early christmas present. this is the permanent christmas present if president trump follows through with his tax policies which will impose 20% on imported prices. u.s. producers can keep cranking ahead, given the increased reserves, the u.s. will keep increasing at a faster and faster rate. it was already starting to recover. it is going to recover even more. other non-opec countries such as canada will suffer. canada especially. with the border tax adjustment that donald trump and the republicans are going to repose, they will face a 20% fee bringing their oil in here. canada will suffer. opecr as the other

countries, it is going to depend on what happens to the global economy. you talked earlier on about the strength of the dollar and why federal prices currencies were not up against the dollar, a lot of the emerging market countries are going to suffer the way they did in 1989, 1999, 1998 with the asian debt crisis. that is not at all clear in the long run it is going to work out well for anybody except for the american producers. with this u.s. production increase that we can expect, won't that hurt opec in the end? that allows the u.s. producers to continue drilling and pumping. doesn't opec should itself in the foot by bringing in more u.s. reducers? phillip: absolutely. abe lincoln had the best line. you can full all of the people some of the time, some of the

people have been full but higher set in what they have motion, is going to lead to their own demise. joe: a fascinating conversation. thank you both. another busy day at trump tower as the president-elect was busy shaping up his cabinet. this is bloomberg. ♪

of this populist theory against the government would be concerned about a bunch of wall street insiders showing up in washington to run things. i think he is going to get a leash on this stuff. i think the policies are going to matter more than the people he puts in position of power. cohen ares and gary going to have to execute donald trump's policies. if he sticks to the populist policies he campaigned on he will probably get a pass from his supporters. scarlet: that was my next question. formed arely his policies? is it going to be a case of steven mnuchin having a lot of , or is he going to follow a

who oh money in emerging markets. how much tension will there be and do they have the balances to a stain that? pablo: what is the right asset location between local currency. joe: that's a better question. pablo: i think the answer is that you have seen emerging markets getting ahead in this environment. you have seen duration affecting spreads in hard and local currencies. you need to make a call on the dollar. joe: that is what it is about remaking a call on the dollar. in thewhere are we correction and duration? we think part of the story of duration was the repricing of expectations in the u.s. that were low. the u.s. election has coordinated a repricing.

that is 85, 90% done. the question is about term premiums. you need to think about what is going to have a way from -- what is going to happen away from the u.s.? to they going to continue have these qe programs in place? i think that is the next stop for this story, looking in europe. joe: all strategists around the world, whether they look at e.m., they have to make a call right now on the long end of the u.s. rates. it is kind of the big story. that is the good part of the story. the other call is the dispersion story. when you look at the u.s. potential, are we going to have a playbook that is like the campaign statements or is it going to be quite different? there are a lot of questions about how much of the campaign will be applied.

that gives you a different picture between commodity supporters, exporting manufacturers, what is going to happen with mexico, china. it is the dispersion what you try to make a call. was offart of the rally of emerging markets per you could buy anything and you would make money. going forward that part of the story is gone. now you manage selection. you need to be more active in which countries you are going to igh. weigh or under we those that had long duration, even prior to the election, they were having these carry it away by the to ration story. scarlet: before you could be passive because they were all going up. now you have to be more selective looking for winners and losers.

inen summit people invest emerging markets what factors should people be place in importance on? when you look at active managers in a marching markets versus -- the 25% of managers beat product. opens the opposite in the space. going fall words, active managers will do better than passive the strategists. duration will be eating returns on the index. you will have to be moving your credits around, doing your relative value, to really add to benchmarks. selective, being more active, and may be having an active hedge on duration will be the way to make returns into 2017. joe: do you see signs of dispersion?

or is everything being flushed out? pablo: we are seeing some dispersion post opec meeting with oil credits, they have been positive. a lot of money came into emerging markets post-brexit pre-election. that money left, to some extent. not all. we were saying they were selling in the same indiscriminate matter that they bought going in. the story is going to change and returns inha, making the direction of the market. scarlet: all right. you are staying with us. next, brazil cutting rates or a second straight meeting. we cut into the -- we dip into the political noise of the country. this is bloomberg. ♪

scarlet: what'd you miss? brazil cutting its benchmark rate to 13 point 25%. -- 13.25%. we are back with pablo, with blackrock's emerging-market debt team. now you have the uncertainty generated by the u.s. election. does it throw him off course? pablo: i don't think at all. brazil is one of the most idiosyncratic stories in emergent markets. it is domestically driven turn around. you had a significant amount of issues with politics earlier this year and last year.

this appears tothis appears to t resolved in the sense that congress is functioning again with its goal to tackle some problems it is happening -- it is having. is what investors were expecting. we have a bill in the senate to cap increase of spending. that starts to shape the story better. the central bank cut rates. to cut's so far this year -- 2 cups this yea -- two cuts this year. cutne is forcing them to rates. they are using this opportunity to rein in inflation. joe: what you need to see in brazil to suggest they are still on the path? the path of reform, fiscal or getting rid of corruption, or trying to reduce it, what do you need to see to know they are not stalled out? pablo: first is getting fiscal under control.

it is a complicated political system. then social security reform is the second thing investors will be looking to see. that is something more. first quarter 2017. those things can be part of changes in brazil. joe: how significant are the actual economic effects of these reforms, and how important is the signaling that the ability to get these reforms done is a signal of operating government? pablo: we needed to see an operating government. what we saw before was not really working in terms of congress. now we have something people working together. cross party. that is very important. now the true effects are important. the spending gap has a more immediate effect. the fiscal path of brazil was taken was more the gdp.

we needed to have that under control. that brings lower spread, more confidence, investment in the economy. you get the economy going. has strong signals that brings more market confidence. then you need to see the proof. show me the money, as they say. scarlet: so much of brazil's fate rests on china. i want to switch gears to china. the big concern here with china is the capital outflows. those are the red flows. they have been consistent going back to mid-2014. the white line is dollar you uan. -- y thehat extent does accusations from the donald trump administration main this trend is going to continue -- mean this is going to continue?

pablo: i don't think the outflows will have anything to do with it. what happens with the outflows in china, we will have significant liquidity being created domestically. like in any other emerging markets investors want to have some investments abroad. the other part of the story was the unwinding of corporations in ,hina that borrow abroad repaying those liabilities. a good flow about close have taking care of stock of liability. you don't have that much corporate debt. scarlet: how much? is already0 5% taking care of. that is winding down. the other part of the story with the currency is that chinese exports are not -- of late. that brings a sense of weakness in the economy. the last point, interest rates.

you were showing a chart earlier before interest rates in the u.s. and the rest of the world. it is important for chinese favors. you will have this outgoing flow of money. going to continue to see that part of the story being there. aboute can't talk emerging markets in the postelection world without talking about mexico. people hammered the pay so, then it got -- hammered the peso. what are the prospects for mexico? peso, how you value the you don't know whether nafta is going to be there 12 months from here. what tariffs are going to be imposed. we need to know

what would work. policy decision is keeping investors on the sidelines. if you look at whether -- where mexico is valued compared to prior to the election, 15-20% undervalued. is that the economy we are going to have going forward? i don't know. that doesn't get clear. joe: want to be too late by the time it is clear? if it is undervalued, can you afford to wait until all of the policies are clear? get?: what do we need to nominations. today, commerce eric terry -- commerce secretary is not pro-free trade. that is an indication uncertainty is going to linger for a little bit more. with all the news out there, investors will react. we are working with these uncertainties. we are months away from the

inauguration. we are getting nominations and taking it from there. joe: all right, thank you very much. hasng up, kroger stock fallen. we examine how food depletion has played a role in the decline. this is bloomberg. ♪

scarlet: i'm scarlet fu. kroger is set to release earnings on thursday in the face of stiff competition and falling food prices. confirmedped after guidance. we start with kroger stock. early november, longer-term, kroger has trailed the market,

which is the white line. that is the orange line. it has been a drag on that. driving this underperformance? slowing sales growth. food depletion pressures grocery industry to offer heavy discounts that way on margins and sales. throughout this kroger has managed to post 51 straight quarters of positive sales growth, even as it has decelerated. have fallen for 11 straight months. this is the longest streak since 1960 which had a 14 month streak. the slide is hitting kroger harder than others because the company is america's biggest -- biggest seller of groceries after walmart. kroger is far behind walmart but ahead of albertson, costco and sam's club. kroger may get larger at the latest investor meeting.

inre is 100 billion dollars potential revenue from companies that are characterized as projects. the company has been adding debt to fund acquisitions per you can see that they are pretty including services that include online orders -- that pick up online orders and delivered them to customers. of thegains can be part recipe for kroger to re-accelerate sales and stabilize its stock price is pretty we will be looking for these things on thursday in the u.s. when they release their information. joe: for more let's bring in craig, who covers the industry for bloomberg. how are they dealing with this? we have seen food at home prices drop a lot. do grocery stores have any strategy? craig: it is tricky. this is a staggering streak of food depletion. the long-distance 2009.

people are saying this is unprecedented outside of a recession. the longest streak since 1960. it has prompted a price war. elephant inhe big the room. when they move in a certain direction it affects everybody else. they are cutting prices, taking advantage of the depletion. that is weighing on kroger. kroger has to respond. joe: they are finding their stride, was there a time where they had stumbled? we think of them over the last several years of this huge -- as this huge player. craig: they have been getting bigger and bigger. they were criticized as not having produced that was a very nice. they watched whole foods and kroger and walmart have caught up or you get plenty of organic have that walmart -- caught up. you can get plenty of organic stuff out walmart. that is why you are seeing those

declining sales. strategy,oing back to i wonder if kroger can offer anything else that is higher-margin rather than ingredients for dinners are we talking about prepared foods, organic, deliveries, add-on value services? craig: the big thing is click and collect. what that is, you go on the web or your phone, make the order, it is ready at the store. you drive in and pick it up. a lot of people say that that is more convenient. even better than delivery. invested heavily in that. they have y'all at a lot of their stores. program is a big giant in this category. ofletion has put a lot pressure on them. ofdeflation has put a lot pressure on them. in some other breaking news, rockwell collins is under --ssure from star wars value
