is still not entirely clear what is behind this. some people say this bearish for goldman sachs. jim martin adams had an interesting series saying she thought it on friday had more to do with the ecb being less hawkish and she thought the fed proved to be somewhat hawkish, that could bring a continuation. it is interesting how the fed can steer the direction of asset classes. afterorst day since 1999 slashing the earnings field. the entire grocery market this is actually down for that matter. certainly, declines earlier and we go across asset classes, we do not have a haven did at all.

3:37 pm
regarding bill mueller's expanded investigation regarding the russia investigation and how he is looking at whether donald trump tried to slow the investigation? >> planning to interview two top trump intelligence officials p or the director of national intelligence and the head of the national security agency that will make rodgers. he wants to hear directly about theher in the aftermath of flynn firing if president trump ever pushed them to use their influence and get the fbi back off its probe. that would be a piece of the puzzle about whether obstruction of justice to lace at all. it is the serious escalation of what is going on and it brings the close -- the probe much closer to the president himself. >> it does. are there any parameters to bob mueller's probe?
3:38 pm
is there something he would retract or retreat from if he gets too close to any particular topic? goe pretty much he can wherever it can take him? >> remember mueller was only appointed about a month ago. still hiring the team. he is really looking at parameters of what will be the investigation. he will not leave a lot of stones unturned but you may -- nsar but -- and if it chief rodgers last week run the hill, and they refused to say in a public hearing whether trump tor pressured or ask them layoff or get the fbi to lay off on the probe or caps off. so centers have heard testimony in a closed session. the national intelligence director will be on in aill today doing that
3:39 pm
closed session. we expect other officials to go there in the coming days and weeks including the former department of homeland security secretary next week. he is really laying out trying to figure out what the scope of the probe should be at this point. , butrrect me if i am wrong am i wrong in suggesting that both the acting and former fbi director have suggested actually that there was no effort to impede their investigations as far as their concerns? in line with that, my second question would be is in the more important question now the leaks? where did the leaks come from? donald trump's legal team is suggesting it is the fbi once again leading the nation. we do not know where the initially's are coming from. it is a serious -- i am not surprised if it is one mueller himself would have to
3:40 pm
take up with an investigation. i want to point out something else. you remember in terms of the mueller probe, when james comey testified week ago on the hill, he said when he was fired, the president was not subject, as far as he knew, to any investigation personally. that is what seems to be changing here as we find out a few more details about mueller's probe. mueller has a reputation for running a tight -- a tight ship. when he was fbi director, and that said, if you bring people into testify, they have lawyers with them. people start to increase who are aware of it and that is hard to keep a lid on. >> we have breaking news. merge, u.s. antitrust -- antitrust approval. getting the ok from the u.s. government with the u.s.

antitrust approval. it has cleared other barriers, including approval from china and brazil as well as the european commission. it was one of the last remaining hurdles. we had heard that closing the deal was slated for august after being pushed back from the original 2016 timeframe because of the delay in getting antitrust approval from around the world. we are getting that approval earlier than expected. pop, and givef a up a little bit of losses and has come down a tad. .own for both >> not a ton of action either. i want to bring the other side of what is going on out in d.c. on capitol hill. an interesting story you reported regarding a change by the gop to make it easier to pass a tax cut. explain what is going on. >> it has been going on
3:42 pm
underneath the surface for little while. today has been a major momentum addition to this push to ease the path forward to cutting taxes for a longer time. basically, the budget window under current rules requires that any tax cuts added to the deficit after 10 years automatic he within a deck it, what republicans want to do is change the rules to make the 10 year window something like 25 years so they can enact task us that add to the deficit for a longer time horizon. this comes as republicans are very divided on these, how to -- how to make the tax plan reusable, so they don't have much for -- much anymore. republicans are moving toward changing the rules now that they to't have agreements on how make it revenue neutral. they have an agreement on wanting a trillion dollar tax cuts. >> this will create an opera with the democrats. they will hate this.
3:43 pm
>> they will. i spoke with the democrat on the tax-writing committee and he said he would be very opposed to this and it would be a backdoor way for republicans to sneak through big tax cuts. this on a partisan basis and they don't need democratic support to get things through. the rule has been if you are at into the deficit, you do it in a 10 year window. yes, fears democratic objections. made a rule change that pertained to tax cuts. would also apply to other deficit expanding things? if they wanted a seat -- a huge spending bill increase not offset i revenue raisers or somewhere, would this only theoretically apply to the tax component of deficit increases? >> you are right on your first point. if republicans want to enact tax cuts for longer than 10 years,
3:44 pm
even if they add to the deficit, democrats can come around when they control the white house and both chambers of congress, saying they want to enact spending increases on the fast track faces even if they add to the deficit and let's do it for 25 years. yes, this can come back to haunt them later on. once the president has said it can go anyway, the bloomberg national security editor and bloomberg's national political reporter, thank you both for coming out. up, steve told us where he sees the best opportunities in real estate. it is an exclusive next. ♪

3:49 pm
>> so rates are low across the spectrum and prices are high relative to cash flow. if we look at office and hospitality, if we look at retail, where our evaluations most stretched? i i might not look at it asset classes are probably by geography. interesting in the last cycle, you mentioned all of the individual types of investors, they have been focused on to play more money into real estate as interest rates have remained artificially low. they have remained largely on markets. the top six in the country. when you look at the major markets, those major markets are up 40% over the prior peak level. they are up 120%. you have never seen prior cycles this type of cap rate compression and value appreciation. our feeling is as qe unwinds and yesterday,ets rise

cap rate -- cap royce will marginalize and what will be affected is the primary markets. say cap rates will normalize, when we look at multifamily, they are in the 5.526% neighborhood. >> i would love to say if they were in 5.5 present area, we would be much more active in buying a lot of those. but we have seen cap rates drop in the markets on the multifamily side, we have seen cap rate below four, we have seen them dip low five to those are plus or -200 basis points inside historical levels. we are not necessarily saying we will go all the way back to historical levels. there is more permanent capital allocated today, but we think as interest rates normalize, cap rates have to -- we think it is those primary markets. it is the coastal markets. it is the large or midwest markets like chicago that really

will be -- and how will we be transparent to our workforce? what can we do to make sure their sensibility in the workforce? minimum and are demanding more flexibility, so it should not be just going up for work, it should be your performance. and what will we do to ensure that women have sponsors? people who advocate on their behalf? is to reallyum expanded space, communicate with people in the business community and make a business case for this is so important. david: so women came into the workforce in a big way generation ago. an increased the productivity in the united states and helped the economy to a very large degree. why hasn't trickled up yet? by a large, you see it in the lower and middle rank, but not at the very top. reasons,are a host of and we have to really look at what are we doing in the workforce that creates an environment that is conducive
4:35 pm
for women to excel? computer science for example -- women are now finishing college and graduate school higher rates than men, yet they stay in the field for three years. what is the reason they leave? the number one reason elitist culture. what can we do to create -- number one reason is culture? . what can we do to create a better culture? yourself, do you want to invest in them and have them go somewhere else? david: from your time at the white house and see -- from your time at the white house, is there any pattern at all? >> that is appointed a paradigm model is to figure out what the best practices and how can we share them and have them expand and grow? we have seen over the last several years, many leading ceos there isnize that
4:36 pm
business interest to increase diversity in the workforce, but they do not necessarily know how. we want to give them the tools ensure the best practices to make sure everyone can take advantage of it. david: because you said the company will be more successful. >> yes, they will do better. >> that was valerie jarrett. 's ceo isf america making an effort to promote women on wall street. >> how do we define how we try to achieve is how we define inclusion. we want everyone to come in and work and not have to leave at the door who they are. we struggle to have people, very senior people try to define inclusion, and finally we did a group of relatively junior people. to come to i want to the door and i
4:37 pm
have to make myself at the door. that is how we measure our success. this is more about how people are doing it. that defines a mobile ultimately trying to achieve. we have not done it yet. we need to keep moving forward. >> you started your career as a lawyer in providence, but did enter the banking industry until 1983. , then org the way since then shape your views on women in the workforce, and diversity more broadly? it is how think that you grew up in who you were around. i was around diversity and you did not think it was any other way. you are my age, but might -- my age generally. [laughter] >> i want to brown university.
4:38 pm
the growth in an atmosphere that was already diverse and you cannot fathom that the atmosphere would not continue. i honestly never thought it would be a different way and having three sisters, they remind you it was not want to be different. [laughter] i never conceived it would be different by that. but it has evolved. and how disappointed do you have to be to drive that. when the general counsel talks about diversity saying we're already have women, where else do i have to go? law firms is still struggling to get more women.
4:39 pm
i never thought it would be any other way. it just never occurred to me that it could exist another way from how we started. erik: besides having three sisters who reminded you, as you say, were there any stories or experiences that you were a part of that helped motivate you along -- in that process? >> this is not male-female, but generally -- i grew up in a system of catholic schools and went to brown and went to notre dame which is an interesting juxtaposition of a different style of schools. [laughter] but i remember a professor who died away -- who died not too long ago, he calls something jurists prudence. tedious to understand all the nuances of the case. slammed the book
4:40 pm
down and said, this is simple, you just don't treat people that way. so i go back to you treat people the way you treat yourself. it was such a simple statement from an intensely intellectual guy in an intensely intellectual setting. . just think about this. reality, that is a very straightforward to think about it. >> that was brian moynihan speaking with erik schatzker. >> tackling china's credit crunch. we take a look at the countries rising level of data what regulators want to do about it. this is bloomberg. ♪

>> breaking news. it the department of justice is investigating a unit of the company due to accounting practices. it is conducting a criminal and civil probe that relates to the charging practices when it comes the u.s. government. >> looks like they disclosed in a filing on june 7, it has been around a number of days. they say that the audit process is not been evidenced by any deficiencies a material weakness identified any significant erroneous cost charging. bring it to an appropriate resolution. now the stock is reacting. >> china is attempting to keep its economy growing wild at the same time dealing with is not the debt.
4:44 pm
how specifically is a going about that and how is he doing at its job. earlier this week, i sat down --h an associate press a for associate professor for the school of business and we talked about the impact of china's credit creation and what that is doing to growth. it is a catchall umbrella number in china that includes a lot of loan varieties that we don't have in the united states. and you see large multinational corporations, these are not just fly-by-night operators that are using other low varieties to get wrapped up into this. and so, basically this number is telling us that they are pushing that growth number down. , that credit growth number down . the problem is basically what we see is about a six-month flag, six to nine months between the credit impulse and when it shows up in gdp. looking at we are the leverage going down now, what we should be looking at is
4:45 pm
the growth number about six must down the road once it has a chance to trickle through to the economy. >> when we talk about the regulators having some success reducing this credit creation, what tools do they use? regulatory tools? capital requirement tools? how do they guide this number lower? they use primary tool in china something called window guidance, which is basically a regulator calls of a bank telling them this is what we want you to do in these of the key numbers you need to focus on. i have talked to banks and security houses that in compliance officer will say, i need any now. i cannot -- i need and gmail. n email. this is creating friction. we cannot just go on a phone call, but that is how it is done in china. >> so the monthly credit creation numbers --let's talk
4:46 pm
about the big stock of debt that has people worried. what are the signals that worry the regulators in terms of the sustainability of the total pile of debt out there? what is going on with that? >> well, i think basically their formulation for a long time was that they could essentially grow with dead and other infrastructure projects and keep the cash flow going. now that they are trying to push the number down, it is creating a lot of problems because money is not flowing through and you are seeing short-term bank rates and other money market rates drift upward and about the 120 days, we have seen a moving short-term interest rate of 1%. if they do not what the fed, that is because they have gone up a lot more. that is really what is pushing a lot of it is there is so much short-term lending in china that they do not have that long-term cushion. >> you talked about from a growth perspective, we may not expect to see some of these moves filter through for six
4:47 pm
months. what about from an asset price perspective when it comes to housing, the stock market? when do we see the ramifications of that? >> it shows up in asset prices a lot faster. there are already reports coming out of beijing that home prices are dropping as much as 5% because of credit. mortgage growth in china was up about 55% total year-over-year -- 65% year-over-year. we are talking about anonymous numbers. same thing in commodity prices when they look at coal, steel, and other prices. so that is the real concern is that as the rain in this credit, what is it going to do asset prices, which is really driving so much of the chinese economy right now. issomething you have written the relationship between bank
4:48 pm
recapitalization and the overall monetary policy stance and a currency overall. what should we expect to see there. the u.s. cop people by surprise -- the u.n. has caught people by surprise. but as china works through some of its loan debt pile, perhaps involving some recapitalization, what are they doing and what of the knocked down effects? >> basically, over the past two years, the pboc has expanded its balance sheet, primarily by buying debt swap from local governments via banks. this has allowed the banks to go out and increase lending. so basically, the question is, what is the pressure that this is having on the fixed exchange rate? even though we have seen the rmb increase in about the past month as they reset the basket, what
4:49 pm
is interesting is that they are still relatively significant met sales of u.s. dollars to basically keep that up. that seems a little bit counterintuitive that as there are net dollar sales, we are seeing already appreciate. what that is indicating is that there is a contradiction in terms there. >> expand on that further. you say there is a contradiction. does that mean it will be difficult to maintain that strength of the rmb? where does it go? the market andk myself are continuing to expect the r&b to move lower over the next 12 months. seven seems to be the line they are really trying to not go beyond. and i think a lot of the speculation in the markets right now is that they basically tried to decouple it from the dollar beginning in april to raise it in anticipation of a fed rate hike that may really strange the rmb/u.s. dollar relationship. .
