volatility gauge for oil. see how that has dropped particularly toward the right-hand side of the screen as the price has gone higher. the that tells us is that path is clear for prices to go higher. go quickly to the chart of oil for the last few weeks and you will see it has been on a tear. in fact, it goes much higher from here, and what is unique about the news that came out from many traders that expected the agreement between the non-opec members, it is the saudi members that juiced the gains. oil, whetherers of they be opec, the russians, whether it is the oil and gas industry and the united states, you all had enough, and so, will pay $60 a barrel within 30 days. su: he believes we will see $75 oil next year. here is what is key from traders

on the new york trading floor for oil. they believe the fact the saudis ruled in with a statement shows they are serious, unlikely to bail, and that is what gives this decree or accord to cut real power. anchor: traders now talking about trump's twitter risk, which is something we have to look into as well. this time, his post was targeting lockheed martin. su: the argument here from twitter posts by trump is that the fighter jets are way too expensive. take a look at what it did to the stocks. kaboom. this is exactly what happened with boeing, took a hit when trump started tweeting about costs of air force one. his concern about boeing jets is that the costs are in the billions and they have jets at 35 programs that is at the center of events. he says the costs are out of control.

plan, he will receive criticism regardless, but if he does release the plan, he needs to do it before and on duration, and should he follow through with that, i do think anybody will delete them -- really remember that he delayed for two weeks. everybody as well as outside counsel, he is taking a lot of advice on this one. anchor: kevin cirilli joining us on bloomberg politics. thank you for your perspective on this with donald trump delaying his plans to announce how he's going to handle his empire once he takes office. tuesday will bring us another gauge on the health of the chinese economy as we head towards the end of the year with a triple dose of data. he will be breaking that data down for us in just about two hours time. what can we expect here? >> a study stable picture is stable are -- a steady,

picture is what we are expecting. we are talking about industrial production, retail sales, and fixed asset production. we have seen were they come from from 2013. this is a fairly steady decline in the data points. it had leveled off in the last few months and we are taking that to continue. tom: retail sales a key gauge. industrial production is expected to come in at 6.1%, the third month. factoring into that of course, the commodity prices and demand for those prices. fixed asset investment expected to come up a .3% second month in a row. those will be interesting when 3% second month in a row. those will be interesting. the more positive manufacturing picture, the inflationary improvements we have seen

really started to finalize these positioning the head of the fomc decision? what do you make of it? kevin: we have the fed coming up this week. we think we will see a hike and it would be a huge surprise if we did not. an additional surprise over the weekend was the non-opec oil producing companies signing that accord. an additional piece of volatility and news into the macro picture. anchor: china, we have seen quite a brutal day on monday. dollar renminbi one month implied volatility. i dated back to 2011 when we saw the different circles here. first circle, five years ago and then august of 2015 during the u.n. evaluation and market turmoil in january that followed. there we are in a very far right circle. we are not close to the panic we saw, but what does this signal to you, kevin? kevin: a couple of things going on. firstly, there is a slow in the

overall internationalize asian of the internationalize -- internationalization of the rmb. we are getting to the end of the euro period and getting into a period where there may be lower liquidity. it may be not without those environments, we would see an increase involved, certainly. to dropshose have led in stocks when you take a look at not just china, but the u.s. as well. so far, wall street seems unhinged at this, not affected. we saw stress in shanghai, but what does this mean? will this change quickly as we see more rhetoric from donald trump and beijing hitting back? kevin: there are two big players in this. policy changes in the u.s. may take place, and during a period of transition, we might see the largest risk of the policy and hence greater volatility.

the chinese policymakers earlier this year gained a certain amount of credibility through their gentle movements in the currency, so that is perhaps why we are not seeing the same reaction in the global markets at the moment. anchor: speaking about the markets, kevin, i wanted to pull up a chart we had on the bloomberg about global markets overall, and you see such a big ofvergence now in terms stocks and people taking their money essentially out of bonds and putting it straight into the equity markets. you can see just how much the bloomberg world stockmarket has just skyrocketed since november, and i wonder, is that momentum going to continue to 2017, or are we going to get some reprieve in the bond market? kevin: well, we are still under

way to the u.s. treasury market. we had been for some time. if we look at a snapshot a year ago from now, u.s. treasuries are not that far away from 12 months ago. hikingk the fed is on a cycle next week and also twice next year. there is room for treasuries to selloff, but i think some of this immediate momentum may dissipate. anchor: kevin, if you were to give us one contrary and thought for 2017, what would that be -- thought for 2017, what would that be? kevin: we might see return inflation in 2017 and inflation that is unanticipated. anchor: all right, so perhaps that will rear its head finally. kevin anderson, head of investment trade asia-pacific at state street advisors. we'll tell you what it stands to
