that being said we do have the dow only out of a very small game. one that puts the dow on pace for a sixth record close in a row. let's really focus in on this dow strength. helping the dow higher today to its potential six record high. was after johnson and johnson looked like it could climb. it is having his best thing since the election. the company did raise his company dividends. finally, exxon mobil, training nicely higher. through julysting 2013. they have agreed to cut supplies and really helped the oil price. as for whether or not these record highs for the dow can continue, are the markets frothy? #btv 3505.at the

thank you so much for joining us professor. andee it in the markets domestic all see and for policy -- foreign policy, when there are no specifics given yet on any policy prescriptions out there. i think that anyone who is trying to put logic and do anything that has happened in the last six months or so in elections is going to have a hard time. both brexit and the trump bection, people seem to voting against their self-interest. from a behavioral standpoint, is there a reason life in the absence of any real details about what trump is going to do or even have brexit is going to affect the u.s. economy, people start telling a positive story? we hear all kinds of stuff.

fiscal stimulus. even though trump is not really talk much about that. people have really glommed onto this really positive story without any of the negative sides. what makes us do that? >> people suffer from something called the confirmation bias. they seek evidence that is consistent with their beliefs. they go out and look board. so if you would like to think that the economy is going to be great, you will latch onto any bit of information that may support that regardless of where comes from. littleg off on that a bit, to continue that idea, how do we talk to people who understand that the choices are against their better economic interest but do it anyway to send a message. they are coming off their nose

to spite their faces. how do we explain that? >> one way of thinking about this is like when you have an inch, when you have a mosquito bite or poison ivy. they tell you not to scratch it. what do we all do? we scratch it. this is just human nature. that is the way people are acting these days. they have an itch and they are going to say no, they are going to reject the status quo because they are angry. they will look for something else. or votinging the eu for the non-status quo candidate. the believes of many of these voters has nothing to do with reality.

i saw an interview with one trump voter who said she was voting for trump because obama had ruined the economy. the unemployment rate was very high. inflation rate was high. the dollar was week. if those are your beliefs, i don't know where you're getting them. are there certain conditions that arise in a society in which people might be more inclined to cast a vote that is more burn it and it normally we have elections and someone representing the status quo and the existing norms of politics. usually, some might that emerges. the normaly flaunted stuff we have an election. was this a fluke or could this have happened anytime? whether questions and conditions that made for them?

>> it has happened before, we can hope it never happens again. i think it is safe to say that people are acting emotionally. we do a lot of stupid things when we are emotional. that is as deep as we need to go. if somebody insults you, you are likely to say something that you will later regret. someday regret some of the boats they have made. >> you have been saying that a lot of people are saying this, there is a seeming rationality. donald trump cantilever on what people want to deliver or maybe they have a misconception in the example you cited about the current state of the economy. is it also possible that economics is not equipped to

understand what motivates the voters and that maybe people have the print -- different interests that traditional measures can really get at you. economists are not very good at understanding the psychology of voters. very few people are. what is curious is i think we have seen a big decline in the value of expertise. the media had a talking head you bring on, people don't put much stock in what we are saying anyone. i put some of the blame on this, if we will call it claim classes woulding

have not got through. >> you bring up a very good point. i want to go back to the emotion part of it because it seems like can be contagious, infectious even. we have seen brazen already. we have seen the italian referendum. pauseight give people next year to hold back on the emotion and the both more but will test both more logically? in the case when you have a couple of holes that are voted in favor of the emotions of people continue to run with it? >> i think it is true that brexit and trump are the same phenomenon. --is not the trump voters i'm guessing most trump voters without even know what brazen it was. it is not that they got carried up in some way that started in

england, as much as the working ground have been losing for the last 30 years and they are angry about it. that same phenomenon is happening in various places around the world. course, everything matters. i think it would be wrong to over interpret the selection. all, 100,000 votes going a different way, we would all be talking about how trump lost and how anyone could ever have thought he would win. is a shocking result.

his favorite since the election has made a more shocking. we have to remember that more people go to for his opponent than him. scarlet: thank you so much for joining us richard. he is the founding father of behavioral economics. will talk about the selection of rex tillerson as the next secretary of state. this is bloomberg. ♪

caused this pickens and cause the selection perfect. he said roughly two world of the oil, he saysl --

he is well skilled for the position. mr. pickens joins us now on the phone. mr. pickens, thank you for taking the time, my first question to you is have you been in touch for rex tillerson, the campaign or do they have the company said he will be named secretary of state? >> i know wrecks and i am not a touch with this decision on secretary of state. other than through the tv and other news media. but i know rex tillerson. a great addition to the cabinet. >> mr. pickens, as you mentioned, many of the hottest jail little -- geopolitical spots are oil nations. from that perspective, rex tillerson would have great insight. on the other hand, wraps the

interest of the energy industry is different than what the interests would be overall as a pretense to security, human rights and other things like that. i you confident that rex able ton would be separate the interests of oil from the interest of the country? >> yes, i would. rex tillerson is a major all company guy. he has had so much experience and he is a good man. scouts anded boy different organizations. no, i would have no question about tillotson being a good secretary of state. he is a good man. he is a hard-working guy and he knows the world. exxon operates around the world

and i would think that he would be an excellent choice. likes that may be the case but to follow on the question, how does rex tillerson make sure that there is an conflation interests ands.'s the energy industry's business interests? how does he is sure of he would not have a conflict? rex tillerson is a worldwide personality. he is leaving exxon. he is off to a different part of his life. he would go to the secretary of state and he would perform that function dislike he would if he was at exxon. decisionng to make a for exxon. be working for the united states government and

doing every thing he could to be sure that our business would go forward and be well executed. -- i think tillotson would be great for this job. this name has come under great criticism. i think it is because he is in oil ceo. his perceived relationship with vladimir putin. out on bloomberg about how rex tillerson are currently went to the white house regarding the russian sanctuary. he wanted to make sure that competitors would not gain an edge through it. trump is already , is this going to create a headache for trump? the idea of having a secretary

of state that presents the idea that this white house would be more favorable to russian interests? to tellacking, i hate you all this but i don't really know how to hack anything. tillerson, i think you would be great. he knows putin. he could sit down and talk to him about things. to make someut polish deal. i can't emphasize this more, when tillotson leaves exxon and goes with the state department, he is 100% state department. exxon has plenty of people to run and son. they don't need another ceo. they have a ceo.

the -- all links to be the very best secretary of state the united states has ever had. you bring up exxon mobil because i wonder what your thoughts are if you have any on exxon mobil's president darren would. if the company has a ceo in waiting, is he the ceo in waiting? >> is he the ceo in waiting? is he the one that would succeed rex tillerson? wouldon't know who succeed rex tillerson. don't worry about exxon, they have plenty of executives. they have good ceos who are available there.

the day he leaves and goes to work for the state department, he will be 100% for the government. he is not working for exxon anymore. >> i want to switch gears. that thee is news organization seems to be getting it together. they are looking to cut more than expected. do you think of have will be able to execute what they said? do think it will be able to go it well without cheating and boosting the price of oil? >> no, i think it is long haul. they want more for their oil. have said, what you are going to do? they will cut supply. the price of oil will come up.

the producers of oil, whether they be opec, the russians, whether it is the guess industry in the next days, they have all had enough. you will be at $60 a barrel within 30 days. >> $60 a barrel in 30 days, that is your forecast? >> i think you will have those in januaryu will see of next year $60 a barrel. >> what about much higher than that? i feel it we can quickly discounted the idea that we're going to see triple digits. anytime soon? is it plausible that we could get back there? what do you see for 2017 or 2018? >> taking me out to 2018, you have a chance.

you're not going to have $100 oil in 2017. but i do think you're going to have $75 oil. scarlett: there have been a lot of instances where opec is not been able to comply. bethink that they expect to wobbling along the way? where they can't quite commit to let that have promised? what might those look like? >> usa that if they won't stick with it. stick withhey will the deal. i believe it will happen. opec needs money. yes, i think they will stick with the deal. the saudi's have said they will below 10 million a day. so they are cutting out a million barrels a day.

they have to be the biggest one. they do it when they perform. when they show the leadership. and they will. the other countries will come along. we'll quickly, some of the skeptics of the deal, including goldman sachs have argued that prices go up and the u.s. supply of oil, quickly. can u.s. production react to any price increase? >> i can tire that i know the oil field. you know that. it will not come on fast. the cause that they have a new oilfield, have other jobs. monday offwomen field. they tell their husband, you look, you get a job. >> no, i will go back to job when the rate goes back to work. no, you get a job, you're not hanging around the house. guys have got jobs and

terms of the actual stocks to pay attention to, it started in asia. i see a lot of red arrows over there. they all fell. china took a much stronger tone with donald trump. joe, they care more about the one china policy. they are down 2.4%. energy stocks are also big movers as oil prices rise. they rallied in the early part of the session. that is at its highest since last june. you can see them up by 1%. let's look at government

bonds. yield is marginally higher. both the two-year and the tenure are up a little bit. let's look at the chinese. we have the ever thought about chinese government bonds. let's look at this. this is a one-year chart of 10 year yields in china. they have really shot up a lot lately. this represents another form of tightening. you can see the equities selling off. there was also bond deal. this might be something that you want to keep your eye on. >> we will talk about this a little later with david will. i told us to currencies where oil experts and currencies rise. you can see they are also the mexican peso. even with today's advance. a quick check also on the turkish era. depreciating for a third day.

there are a number of concerns here. they also increase political risk because on saturday, there were more than 40 people killed. of course the backdrop of oil rising. commodities, speaking of oil, that is the big one. up 1.7%. it had been up quite a bit higher earlier in the day. on this news of deeper cuts. >> up as much as 5.8%. >> we had a much bigger earlier goal. higher but that is all giving an eye on those industrial metals. i would to take a look at a one-year chart to give you the perspective here. what a monster year. up 46% in the last year. it is really remarkable is how the we were earlier in the year. he started the year with a 29% plunge in the first couple

months of oil. that has really come serving back. it had been quite a year for oil. >> a pretty remarkable move there. what did you miss? those were today's market minutes. >> what did you miss? many strategist and analysts say that if he would win, the market would tank and the economy would head into recession. david wu joins us now. >> i think of all the strategists, your postelection forecast in the event of the donald trump victory was the closest to being correct. most people saw do and gloom -- doom and gloom. there is a big bond component. it really underperformed. even more than the equity rally. the defining aspect of this

postelection. has been the selloff and the failure of diversified portfolios. the potential for higher growth, higher inflation if donald trump one. that certainly seems to be the expectation. a much further can we see these books play out? : there is some room for these traced to continue. trump wanted 4% gdp. you look at the consensus forecast, for 2017, two point 2%. 2018, 2 .2%. most people say that these -- most people are worried. i think honestly that people are finding excuses for why they don't have the traits bond. i think the bottom-line is that

you cannot look at this as pure fiscal stimulus. this has to be measures to boost confidence. to free up the animal spirits. i think that this is also going to be about easing access to credits. this is no question that is going to be a very important part of the regulations. i think is about shopping the u.s. economy to do what it does best. take a risk and invest in growth. >> what with the next age of the rotation look like if there is still room to go? what would it look like in the next age? >> that is an excellent question. most of the celebrate have happened in the backend. by everyen driven pricing of expectations. break evens tend to break even at 2%. i have no qualms. has getthink the market

to a price for example, the race market is the belly of the curve. think about this, the market is still owning a. pricing fors only 2018. that is inconsistent with a 3% plus jp. i think as long as the market is still pricing below the fed's on docs, forget about any revision in the docs, i figured if my have more upside. either that anything linked to rates is more likely to go. >> listening to you say the donald trump is going to bring with him a whole cocktail of reforms reminds me of all the different fiscal ones. the monetary deregulation. a national greatness missing. getting people excited about the japanese economy. i think the verdict is mixed at best. do it at this cocktail as you put it will actually translate? why will it translate effectively? back, this lost

momentum. it does not work out well. but in the first three months, six months, 12 months, that is all people talk about. of that hedgely funds made on this money, 2013. training of economics. i think the point that we are only one month after the u.s. election. this is a wanted to go. at least until operation day. -- inauguration day. this is a buy the rumor face. but not unless you remember, mostly trump, when he won in 2012, he did not a troll the opera house. couldd that i knew we boost to gdp growth. exhibit with the republicans. with him to do what they said they really want to do, which is repeal obamacare, they have not

got enough seats in the senate to do it they wanted it. they can think of another hc. they are not putting the political polices. torlet: i want to go back some of your clients's question. this is been the longest running expansion in postwar history. how much further can it go? i know that people say that these martyrs of diebold age, it has gone on for a long time. you could argue that it was started to peter out. >> you may be right but when we say this? they cannot be talking from both sides of their mouth. only a month ago, the day before there was no with that the fed was going to be able to hire this.

we have always underemployment in the economy. later, people will worry. i think the honest truth as the -- i think what people are getting wrong is that people want to focus on the infrastructure. everyone is saying that you did -- infrastructure spending equals success. i think that the infrastructure piece is going to be the last piece to get through. one thing is to go to the tea party as a we will blow up the deficit. another thing is to say we are going to blow it up for infrastructure spending. to build a bridge, you are going to have a bridge to build. to be late 2017 and maybe early thousand 18. i'm not as worried about them

running amok. i am more worried about chinese houses. you mentioned that i love the skepticism of your thesis is caused by the fact that people they were have the -- caught really upside. we know that people were wildly bullish on bonds, even within the stocks, they like the bond proxies. how far off sides are investors still, given the moves we have already had? >> i was say that the bench -- hedge fund committee has well-positioned. i think that the mutual funds, i think they are still looking to take it vantage of any of it to be dipped in bonds. i think those are the guys. >> david wu, global rates and currency and research at the bank of america and merrill lynch. you are sticking with us. we will talk trump's

pressure on trump. it is a most self fulfilling. how it plays out, i think this is going to be the biggest head ache for investors in 2017. by speaking with the president of taiwan on the phone, he is mixing it up even further. does it derail the areas with trumpet we do have? >> three days after he had this conversation, he appointed governor of iowa. -- 70 mixedstanding messages to chinese. i think that is clever. if you're seeing rebel without a cause? that they missing when he was playing chicken with this guy who is going to jump out of the car. it was like he is about to play this game with this guy who has beingtation of

if china is indeed successful and containing this outflow, which i think you have to assume that i'm going to give them some benefit of the doubt in doing this, this is was going to allow the u.s. to -- from that point, china possibility to crack down on outflows, it would be very important for donald trump's success. in addition to cracking down on capital outflows, they cannot predict what troubled in next. what do they do to proceed what they do to inform the economy? david will: that's of the to show four. from that point of view, i think that it is going to be more limited for that result. they are going to be managing the economy even more closely than usual. i think the geopolitical spirit is more complicated.

the last couple of years drove the bus. they have dictated how asset prices move. now we are in a situation where fiscal policy takes center stage. who looks where raising currency has come at the we need to pay more attention to what donald trump tweeps? david: i have been saying this for a last number of years. they kept rates low because it fiscal policy was too restrictive. i think growth is going to matter a lot more than interest rates. fed can't pretend to be able to see in their crystal ball. growth is going to speak for the fed and the market. we're going back to trading growth rather than the interest rates going forward. scarlet: that is the scene in the united states. the bank of japan and european central banks, they are still in an extraordinarily

up an interesting situation for the ecb. they have to cover election outcomes in netherlands, france. peter: it seems to be they are treading water and hoping something turns out. they are just treading water. that is the announcement they made. they will not likely get a fiscal boost meaningfully in europe. the politics, whatever the outcome of the election, it will be constricting. the process of the election is not going to be good for consumer confidence. i think the ecb is keeping its fingers crossed. joe: so your interpretation of the latest ecb decision is that it was basically the political approach to keeping the exact same policy? peter: exactly. scarlet: keeping the peace, basically. giving a bit of everything to the hawks and the doves. internaley have ramifications. in the u.s., there will be some

fiscal policy that comes around. not in japan and europe. scarlet: what about japan? we talked about abenomics. now that trump will be president, does that give autonomic's another -- abe now benomics another push? david: trump is the best thing that could happen to abe and kuroda. dollar-yen was going down. nobody cares about that anymore. see dollar-and going through the roof. japanese equity markets have been one of the best performance. the key issue here is that the bank of japan has gone a step beyond qe. they essentially become the

central bank of the years. -- of the world. you will see japanese investors piling into that market. it is also capping long-term rates globally, including the u.s. joe: is that sustainable? will the bank of japan be able to keep their long-term rates like that or will they have to run at some point? peter: i think they will have to run. i interpreted the move they made an september to pay the 10 year rate as a realization that over the coming years, they will have to let it back up. it will not have the stamina to keep it there nor do they really think they want to because the negative rates did not work. curve yield hurt intermediation. i think it is a lesson for other countries that tried extraordinary policies that unwinding these, you don't want your yield curve too fast.

corroded got ahead of it so he can manage it overtime. which policy doesn't move more on? peter: i think there is going to be more changes in the u.s.. i think it is u.s. change will drive that exchange rate because we know what is coming inside japan. it will have a big impact. joe: i love the way you put it, that bank of japan is going to become the world central banker because everything becomes the fact oh using money to rush to bond markets around the world. how big a dampening effect on long-term yields in europe, the u.s., will lead have ultimately? david: this year alone billionght $300 in bonds. that is a lot. they wanted to allow japanese investors to buy more bonds.

i think this is for the marginal buyers. there is no question that if you look at the past few weeks, you seem aggressive buying from japan. i think long-term rates in the u.s. would go up a lot more than it did. scarlet: david wu, thank you so much for joining us. peter fisher is staying with us. we are to talk about the problem with the fed watch forward guidance next. mrs. bloomberg. ♪

scarlet: fed forward guidance played out. peter fisher is still with us and he says perhaps it is time to get rid of the dot plot. the famous dot go.

whereeen line is a medium members have projected. the blue line is the market projection and they converge in early 2017. when we talk about forward guidance, it is not just dots, is it? it is rhetoric. it is the communication policy they have overall that has adopted to use dots. peter: bernanke was talking about this when he was first governor, the four he became chairman. during the crisis, it was a powerful device to assure everyone monetary policy was staying easy for a long time and the dot plot was an easy way to spread that out. it is really not credible that will be maintained over time. .ncertainty is going to kick up we will have stimulus from the trump administration. at some time we will have to

worry if there is a recession in the coming years. this idea that we can put down exactly what we think the forward path is for several years and that is going to be credible is going to be expiring. i don't expect yellen to say anything about that itself, that i wonder if there will be a hint tomorrow or the day after that they realize there is whitening uncertainty. we can look in their forecast this time or in three months time that if the range of the forecast is getting wider and gnp inflation, we will find less information from the dot plot. joe: peter: -- innovations that came about during the crisis. the. is one of them -- the dot is one of them. dot would argue that the

force them into a december hike because it was out there. were these innovations valuable during the crisis period and perhaps outlived their usefulness, or in retrospect, did not fully serve even in the crisis period? peter: i think the press conference is a useful device so the chair can speak to the world representing the committee. i think it is a shame that we only think we are going to find something out about what they are going to do when the chair gives a speech away from the committee. i think we would like to know that policy will change it committee meetings, not just can't strop during speak -- hints dropped during speeches. i think the dot plot is a different problem because it anchors policy. it creates inertia in policy that i don't think is helpful. there's an uncertainty about the economy and it will be particularly binding an awkward

to pretend this is helpful to spell out where we will be. when i ran the open market for the fed years ago, it was a big deal to imagine we know what would happen at the next meeting. no one had any idea. binde would want to their hands as to where they think they would be two or three meetings away. that is a healthy outcome, to realize that uncertainty is natural in the economy. is forward guidance more of a blunt hammer or a device that lacks -- peter: i think forward guidance was used to pump up asset prices. house prices and equity values. he wanted to hold long-term rates down for a long time. you might not always want to be doing that. it is more difficult when you

want asset prices to go where they will and not just where the fed is directing them to go to that is what the fed has to get out of and that is the exit problem they are having. having have seen oil is a massive year. how much did rising oil, rising gas prices play into inflation expectations and ultimately into real policy? peter: it is an important part, but what the fed will look for is to see whether a rise in oil prices gets embedded elsewhere. i think the public has misunderstood this and the fed has not in as articulate as it should be. the reason to look at core and cpi with energy in it is to see whether big movements, volatile movements in commodity prices get embedded in non-energy prices. if you are eating out on the highway, does the food away from

home reflect higher energy prices? now it is getting embedded in the psychology of inflation. i think that is the thing that the fed will be looking for. scarlet: peter fisher from dartmouth college. wednesday, you will want to watch our special coverage of the highly anticipated fed decision. that begins at 1:00 p.m. in new york. ♪

not just from democrats, but from republicans as well. john mccain, marco rubio. kevin: you have folks like senators mccain and rubio who have had a rocky relationship with trump in the past, criticizing him for his perceived wranglings with russia. i would anticipate that right now, the transition officials are doing everything they can to shore up support. we did see trump give an .nterview and tweet out clearly this is someone he thinks highly of, but whether or not he would be able to get confirmed remains to be seen. a lot of intrigue around this pick is just a latest development in what has become a fascinating journey for the secretary of state pick. joe: do the headlines over the last few days over russia and wikileaks and its reported preference of donald trump make the tillerson pick more difficult given the lack of

desire for more russia headlines? kevin: trump knows how to drive and manipulate the media. i would anticipate more headlines involving the russian involvement in the election wednesday. joe: kevin cirilli, thank you very much. ♪
