7:09 pm
a june rate hike. we saw a dramatic drawdown when it comes to those futures. let's bring in kathleen hays, she is here with the latest right now. kathleen, there are talks of this memo surfacing. people see -- say they need to see the proof. what led to markets to selloff? firsten: that memo surfaced late yesterday. markets do not have a chance to react in the u.s. the initial report verified by many news organizations putting it much more front and center. not a speculative document, but something people seem convinced exists even though we have not seen it. been eight days since a donald trump fired his former fbi director, james comey. he appointed a very prestigious former fbi director. but people are still saying, this could be his deepest crisis
7:10 pm
of his very short so far administration. republicans on the hill, backing donald trump. wall street though, losing faith. certainly in the reflation trade, that that will actually was -- exist. rates,rnight interest investors not waiting. we are combining those two metrics. odds of the june rate hike up were down as-- much as 50% earlier today. if there is a logic -- we do not know what will happen with donald trump. if you look to 2016 when the fed thought it would hike rates four rates onceonly hiked by the end of the year. the chinese stock market selloff. so much concern about volatility around the world, it made the fed is slow down. if it is a crisis for donald
7:11 pm
trump, if it continues to roil markets, less than a month on june 14, will the fed the comfortable to hike the key rate or decide it is prudent to sit back and wait? we do not know yet. but that shows you potential logic and what the treasury market is doing and how the rate hike has not changed. betty: how about other markets, how did the bond markets react to this? kathleen: bond market traders jump in and out. it is a haven. increasingly,rds the obstruction of justice, impeachment, etc., those words are thrown around much more so. out of the salt conference, ceo thathards, the does a lot with a distress bonds spoke to bloomberg television. he thinks there is a lot of doubt. he thinks trump trade is over for stocks and the markets. here is what he said. haveere is trump trade we

all but embraced and driven the markets to new highs in equities. it is coming to an end here. [indiscernible] it may have to be that we get through this so we can see the policy measures. it is a rosy scenario for bond bulls. jump into the bloomberg. you can see the 10 year note yield is back below this range from 2.3% to just above 2.6%, trading around 2.2%. this has been quite a move in the rally. it is a cliche, the markets do not like uncertainty. theypeople are uncertain want to hop out of the riskier assets and jump into treasuries and wait and see what happens. a week from now we can say, that
7:13 pm
is quite a move. will we be saying there is more drama? the bond bulls will say, see, we told you. it is not the year we get above 2.6% and stay there. betty: speaking about uncertainty, more breaking news from the justice department. trying to alleviate uncertainty about whether or not robert mueller's appointment had involvement from the white house or president trump. the justice department saying the mueller appointment, robert mueller being assigned to special counsel, they told white house after this order was signed to make it official. this is again, reassurance you could say from the justice department, saying this is all independent of the white house. some not satisfactory to of those opposed to what is going on, that is nancy month -- nancy pelosi commenting earlier,
7:14 pm
saying it robert mueller is a man of integrity, but mueller's special appointment cannot take the place of an independent commission by congress. there is much more to this story that we will continue to roll ahead. we saw it finally hitting the markets. ahead, other stories. a record run for tencent as investment pays off. we will look at what a billion plus users can do for a company. this is bloomberg. ♪ yvonne: more on how the white house is trying to contain the fallout. this is bloomberg. ♪

7:18 pm
tracking all of this. we just had some more comments from the justice department saying the white house was told of robert mueller's appointment after the special order was given. how significant is that development? >> this appointment may go a fairly long way to calm congress -- calm calls in congress for a special independent counsel or commission to investigate the whole russia-trump controversy. the initial reaction from both parties has been almost entirely positive. -- jason chaffme etz called it a great selection. and dianne feinstein said it was excellent, as good as it gets. ago,u heard a few minutes house minority leader nancy pelosi praised his integrity bit also said -- integrity, but also
7:19 pm
said it does not take the place of an outside investigation. there was one statement by chuck grassley, republican, who said he was concerned -- he cannot the special counsel overseeing the fbi investigation may make the investigation go dark, and whether it may keep other investigations -- whether it may preempt other investigations from going on. betty: there are still a lot of question marks. take a moment and tell our viewers a little bit about robert mueller and why he seems to be garnering this praise on both sides of the aisle. he is one that is widely respected. laurie: yes, he was fbi director for 12 years. he was named by george w. bush and took over a week before
7:20 pm
9/11. year term and10 president obama asked him to stay on another two years. he served until 2013, when he was replaced by comey. one thing mueller is known for is after 9/11 when surveillance was being ramped up, he joined comey in threatening to resign if the government overruled the thatce department opinion domestic wiretaps without a court order were unconstitutional. so he got a lot of praise for that from a number of people, including democrats. yvonne: good to get your take on that. joining us from d.c. unnervingt turmoil is the market. gold, the vix moving overnight. the biggest threat is the slowdown in u.s. car sales. let's bring in a japanese ceo,
7:21 pm
joining us live from ceo -- from tokyo this morning. the fact we're still talking about comey one week later makes it a big deal. the news we got on the special prosecutor now, it really proves to be a distraction when it comes to trump's growth agenda. how does it dampen risk sentiment at the moment? as a whole, is there a sense we do not know how far it could go? >> i think there is a huge uncertainty. in washington unfolds, the big spectacle. we want to see the deregulation agenda driven further. you want a strong white house to lead the tax cut agenda. and that is being put into question. you could end up with a lame-duck president. yvonne: how long can this last? are we in for a rough session in asian markets today? we see the dollar-yen dipping below 111.
7:22 pm
could it be continued selloff we could see? jesper: for all intents and purposes, for today's market, there is no point guessing the way we are going, given the risk of sentiment going on. you are likely to get dropped in the market of 1.5% to 2%. you haverm in japan, corporations a very conservative in terms of what they have been looking for out of the united states, out of the currency. look at toyota corporation. the biggest bailout of a car company. their budgeting for a dollar-yen over the next 12 months going forward. buffer built into corporate expectations. from that perspective, today's drop could be a buying opportunity. betty: i wanted to point out to
7:23 pm
get a closer look at the dollar-yen move, let's go into my terminal. ne wasn see what yvon describing, the fall in the dollar and the strengthening of the dollar-yen. it raises concerns about export growth, particularly for the automakers. even though they have the buffer built in, they cannot be happy with the direction of the yen. not only that come about whether it will have a dampening effect on inflation, on the boj's ability to slow fed inflation. how much will that be a factor for the boj? from the bank of japan's perspective, the ups and downs of the currency have an impact on headline inflation. but at the end of the day, the good news out of japan is, yes,
7:24 pm
japan remains geared into the exchange rate, remains geared into the global economic business cycle. for the first time in 20 years, domestic demand is beginning to gain traction. that is what we are looking forward to in the gdp statistics, where domestic business expenditure is likely to show that corporate japan, for the first time in 20 years, is reinvesting for growth and a local and domestic japanese economy. betty: thank you so much for joining us. we will watch more on the reaction in the markets in tokyo, but also gdp numbers coming up in 20 minutes. plenty more to come. this is bloomberg. ♪
