7:00 am
second quarter. money drains out of stocks. it returns to the european market after bonds deliver one of the worst weeks of 2017. the u.k. gears up for a hard exit. corbyn pushes for a single market. good morning. this is bloomberg daybreak. anna edwards is join us this friday. futures are big. we are firmer by a quarter of 1%. technology stocks are on better footing. still, we are headed for one of the best quarters since 2010 for the single currency. yields were at 217 highs.
7:01 am
some are coming in. 44 basis points, a big move this week. sterling is a little bit weaker after the weaker confidence numbers. the vix is up 50% yesterday. it's the weakest quarterly average since 2006. gold futures pretty much go nowhere. is important economic data coming up at 830 a.m. eastern. may, data is of being watched. time, they are calling for little change to the preliminary estimate. at 1:00, investors will be watching the weekly recap. this is the longest uptrend in two months. alix: look at that. ofy: good economic data out
7:02 am
europe today. a prudent call for approach to normalization. that's a good sign. they want to see proof it it can be sustained. , we haverom london michael mckee from bloomberg. do you see the reflation in the day that? mike: you do a little bit. it's hard to take anything out of one month. the energy prices are out of the european numbers. inflation rose from the prior month. you can see it in the energy numbers. and only 4.6% in may 1.9% in june. you have an energy influenced number.
7:03 am
it's not a huge change, but it does tell you there is some underlying thing going there. joanathan: does draghi likes what he sees this morning? >> i think we are at a reflection point in the eurozone. we doubted if it was debt a few weeks ago. it's coming back alive. it is in europe. it's not from commodities. it is from credit coming back to the economy. banks are starting to lend again. it's very slowly from wage increases. morning's to be done on that front in germany where wages are very low. i think the trend has become sustainable. you can see the leading indicator from bank lending, confidence at the business level. how quickly will we realize it
7:04 am
for a few days ago the board will split. we have seen a more clear push toward recognizing this inflation trend. alix: it's really interesting. when you have the ecb trying to walk act draghi's comments, today we get some firming and the data. the euro is actually lower. what do you make of the move we saw in the euro this week? alberto: i think central bankers cannot unsay what they have said. once you say there is a trend in inflation, the market was on prepared. you can't just walk back and say i was joking. clearly, something is moving in the ecb board. the core countries are pushing toward normalization with interest rates. nobody benefits.
7:05 am
banks lend less. you need to normalize a little bit the policy. otherwise, you are pushing on the accelerator with the handbrake on the other. i think everybody wants that data. smart and dong to it in a gradual weight. alix: ok. this is what janet yellen wanted to do. are we going to learn something? what have they learned over the last to 72 hours? michael: you can set off a tantrum. trade is going to change, you get this kind of reaction. that's why they walked act of it. it's not that they don't want rates to rise, they would like to see them rise gradually in a prudent manner rather than all at once. they wereso much
7:06 am
trying to send the wrong message, don't overreact. that's what janet yellen has been trying to say. anna: we have that data out this morning. we are looking at what the markets have done. the euro may be higher. when you look at five-year five-year expectations of inflation's, they are down 16 basis points. does that reflect skepticism? investors have been hurt on the reflation trend. having said that, it's the lowest part of the market to move. expectations, we have seen already the euro going above 114 and we think that will continue.
7:07 am
we are going back 50 basis points. financial equities are pushing higher. there are two reasons why the ecb may continue on the hawkish trend. the situation across banks has become cleaner across europe. political risk is much lower with mccrone and merkel working together. favoring payments to periphery countries. the greek situation has been clarified as well. get to the german elections, this opens the way for the ecb to normalize policy. joanathan: let's say we get to 120. that is significant timing.
7:08 am
what does that mean for the ecb? can they do much at all? not, this is not a target we have in the next few weeks. we will recognize the european economy is growing much faster. the u.s. economy is growing, and it acceleration has declined. the risk in europe is disappearing gradually as you see macron and merkel and some coalition. we think there is some detail. the move has already been very quick. is a first.today it will continue to move. everyone has position until a few months ago. ecb to raise the policy rates and change policy,
7:09 am
normalization would be on the table. i know we have loans at the highest level since 2014. that is the stage in europe. personal income and personal spending, that is still extraordinarily important. michael: we are looking at the components and what is driving it. -- said ton took expect low numbers. go back to the cell phone price wars. they have a major effect on cpi. basically, the fed is saying don't look at the year-over-year numbers so much as the components in which they are trending. you are seeing some pressures and other areas.
7:10 am
7:12 am
7:13 am
sales will rebound in north america. securities and exchange commission could have a hedge funds handling hot ipo shares. thatators are concerned the select few are getting access to profitable trades. are up 16%d shares on the first day of trading. berkshire hathaway will buy 700 million shares of bank of america. the prices over seven dollars a share. will convert that into common stock. bloomberg this this flash. they are 1% higher on that news. since they raise the dividend yesterday, it is higher than buffets payout. berkshire will make money on common.
7:14 am
it's kind of a no-brainer. that gives bigger dividends. what we sawe yesterday, a big selloff in the tech industry. there was money in financials on that. take a look at the value versus growth index. it underperformed so far this year. the financial. in the back half of the year? is tech leading the way? alberto: it's going to be financials we think there is we are coming out of the zero rate balance. price goes to infinity. that's what happens with tech stocks. , youterest rates normalize
7:15 am
go back to a value in the market. you go back to insurance and other sectors which benefit interest rates. when you look at the sector heavytion, we are still on the tech sector and utilities. dividends are stable. what we need to go into is things that are linked to higher interest rates, where dividends can grow as interest rates go up. that's a we have seen this week with the fed test on the u.s. banks. emma: is the risk that trump under delivers on rate hikes? alberto: it's probably the fed it. to some extent, i think central bankers are worried to build another downturn. want to gon doesn't
7:16 am
away and leave the fed with record low interest rates. you have a slowdown in very little buffer to interest rates. surprise with the relatively weak inflation we see. you could see the market pricing. you can have a repricing and stocks. we don't know. some sectors are very vulnerable. all of the plays of the equity plays where you can get stocks for yield. bonds forbeen buying capital gains for years. joanathan: many people talk about that. others of said the tech knowledge he play was about international growth.
7:17 am
it's not a regional story. getting that exposure to the global growth of the last six or seven months. his that's what is going on with tech? alberto: some part of the tech sector, you have that growth story. we do have to keep in mind that if the fed surprises, you have a stronger dollar. your export channel suffers. happens, if the fed surprises with a stronger dollar, stocks that are exporters in emerging markets get hurt. there are very few areas where you are ok. just a follow this into the previous story, what we actually had was a structural post crisis in europe. that is changing. that is what has driven the last
7:18 am
couple of months, people are starting to reallocate into europe. is that a bigger theme for the second half? alberto: there is a theme of underinvestment in the eurozone. until a few months ago, investors were afraid of the complexity. elections, the french election, it's too complex, i'm not going to invest in europe. yields inery high some european markets. , thee was trading equivalent of 9% in dollars. , wen american countries have other european countries willing to restructure debt. the risk event is over and we have macron and merkel working together. is putting frexit in
7:19 am
context. the u.k. has become a much more uncertain place. of total reserves across central banks into the pound. that you think about it, is three times the weight of the u.k. gdp globally. there is a structure of reallocation in the eurozone which will push europe higher. alix: group stocks. 22%, the bestned game we saw in the european markets. all right. you are sticking with us. white andthe red blue. that leads us to july 4. hopefully you are tuning in to watch myself and matt miller. we are going to cohost the
7:22 am
joanathan: this is the first test of an alliance with the northern island unionist party. oppositionof the push them to remain in the single market in your. simonre, we are joined i kennedy. if anyone voted for the labour party and hope they would get a softer exit, did they get some bad news? simon: they got a bit of a wake-up call. labor has had problems with us before. when you look at the constituency, a good number of those are from pre-brexit areas
7:23 am
where it -- areas. this has been a problem for the leadership. last night, jeremy corbyn signaled he still favors a pretty hard exit red that's a wake-up too many who would have opposed the election results. it would've allowed him to softened his stance or did -- stance. until the last couple of months, consumer credit was surging. the savings ratio was a record low. we are starting to see some cracks in signs that a squeeze has started to take place. simon: absolutely. speeding away. the bank of england had some comments this week. retail sales are down. there are signs that the economy is starting to slow. it's great to have
7:24 am
you with us. the data is staggering. it's up 10.3% year on year. growth the highest rate since 2005. emma: we've got the chart of that. let's discuss many topics, .ncluding brexit we've got this chart that's euros this. this is the smallest portion of income sense 1963. another indicator of how tough times lay had for u.k. consumer. the ship is slowly sinking. instead of trying to decelerate this decline, the economy is accelerated there was a. linked to some of
7:25 am
the news associated with the brexit vote area -- boat. in reality, we see a weaker pound and the rising cost of imports. linked to some of theinflation is rising. now we see consumers starting to realize it. if you put his words into context, the bank of england knows inflation is rising. they know that a weaker pound is going to make things worse. they are trying to talk the pound up. there is limited room for them to hike rates. consumer is so levered, you risk crashing the economy. the bank of england is really in a corner. sterling strength over the last few days is something we would take. we don't think the bank of england will ever raise rates in the near future. joanathan: are there other credit opportunities out there. u.k. mortgages are being offloaded.
7:26 am
they thought it was going to be a big downturn for the consumer. that's not what you would want to buy. are there other opportunities in u.k. credit? alberto: we are very concerned about spending. we think there is more squeeze on the consumer. we would be cautious and we would be hedging. on the other hand, we have sectors with companies that recover bad credit. the debt collectors, we think there is going to be a credit crunch. joanathan: it's great to have you with us. you are watching bloomberg tv. ♪
7:29 am
7:30 am
corner of 1%. if you want some sign that the tech rent stabilization, look to your. the outperformance coming from tech stocks if you look from sector to sector. .reasuries on a firmer footing stabilization in the european bond market as well. 2.26 on the 10-year. euro-dollar. by a third of 1%. 410. for the euro on the quarter, what a quarter it's been, potentially the biggest since 2010 for the single currency. let's get you up-to-date on what is making headlines outside the business world. emma: president trump wants republican senators to pass at least something when it comes to their own obamacare replacement bill. in a tweet this morning, the president wrote --
7:31 am
republican leaders put off a vote on health care bill because of a lack of support for the measure. the u.k., consumer confidence has not been this bad since the brexit vote. those surveyed were less confident about the economy and personal finances. germany has joined other european union nations in legalizing gay marriage. lawmakers approved the measure after chancellor angela merkel unexpectedly dropped her parties stance on same-sex unions. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i'm emma chandra. this is bloomberg. alix: president trump tweeting, saying --
7:32 am
of course, he is talking about the health care bill. kevin cirilli is with us now. what is the rhetoric in washington about the health care bill? i cannot imagine the feel and nothing will sit well with his there is so much frustration right now amongst the republican party. republican senators in particular about the latest distraction coming from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. of course i'm talking about president trump's tweet about aping the reporter's face. we talk about the rhetoric and how it influences policy, but i want to pull up a tweet from lisa murkowski, republican from alaska, the key person that the president needs in order to get on board with health care. she tweeted -- collins, aan
7:33 am
republican as well, another moderate centrist voice saying to reporters yesterday that the president's rhetoric was beneath the dignity of the office. all of this comes as the president is trying to whip votes and unify republicans to get policy. from the sources on talking to, the field in washington, it is hard to fit into something they can get done when the president is bullying a female reporter. jonathan: an exclusive this morning about trade policy within the white house and administration, much of his cabinet does not want a protectionist regime but three of them do, and one of them is donald trump. what is the direction of trade policy now, when are we likely to see some hard policy detail on things like steel, tariffs? kevin: in terms of a division amongst the protectionist and versus thealism isolationists, that will continue.
7:34 am
in terms of where the policy is headed, we have seen it in the last month. with regards to the president's policies and how he is negotiating with europe, also how he is negotiating with cuba. what you're seeing with the south korea policy, in terms of forth,ls report, -- put trying to negotiate bilateral trade agreements. this is where it will really get interesting. the next day hearings are set to begin in mid-august on capitol hill. the white house is yet to release any firm details on how they plan to specifically renegotiate nafta other than to say that that is what they are doing. alix: what's interesting is the trade work and not only hit china, but mexico, china, germany, and the u.k. so-called energy week, the president announcing a pipeline to mexico, even joking that you would have to build underneath the wall.
7:35 am
how do we square these two messages? kevin: great question. i spoke with several sources last week about that. i think there is a push from the energy community to essentially say, look, manufacturing jobs that this white house wants maybe are not going to be able want,as large as he would given where automation is headed. as a result, manufacturing jobs potentially not being able to come back in states like michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, maybe they will have to pivot toward energy policy. that is the place where the energy sector is hoping this conversation goes to. alix: an unbelievable week we have seen in d.c. energy exports will be a big part of president trump's plan to change d.c. and the trade balance, but oil is getting whacked so far this quarter.
7:36 am
quarterly average for oil for the past few years. you can see down 10% in the second quarter. the worst quarter since the end of 2015. still joining us is alberto gallo of algebra's. how do you understand oil right now, then we hit the low, is there more downside to go? alberto: there is more downside. the issue of the growth model of the oil exporting countries is changing dramatically. if you look at middle eastern countries, they are in conflict with each other, going from an environment of 0% public debt to gdp to an environment where they will have to borrow or sell assets from sovereign wealth funds. they are trying to adapt to a old growth model but they have a workforce that has largely been unemployed there is no civil rights and some of these countries. arabia, one person is decapitated every day.
7:37 am
it is hard to create a stable and balanced growth model when you are coming from an economy that depends only on one export. the rebalancing plan of this country will take probably more than a decade. during this time, geopolitical conflict between one country and the other means they are all forced to pump more oil in the meantime to maintain respective political order. when the choice is between as the, losing your job king, as the head of a country, versus pumping more oil, you choose to pump more oil. despite the opec agreement , there willighter be looking flights in the future. we think oil can fall below 40. on top of that, you have the shale production which can come back in line. we will be back in an environment where we go lower
7:38 am
potentially. anna: a lot of people caught out by the moves in the first half of the year. goldman sachs asking themselves what they got wrong. do you think people underestimated the ability of u.s. producers to reduce cost of production using technology? or was it opec production coming back? think, in part, the technology. thisain point here is that is not anymore a game of demand and supply but a game of geopolitics. countries are in proxy conflict with each other, and this is hard to analyze. when you have several regimes in venezuela, saudi arabia trying to cling onto power, in conflict with each other, the priority becomes to get cash immediately to survive. even though it may not be the best solution for the respective
7:39 am
countries. russia, same thing. in the immediate term, we can see a lot of push toward more supply, and also structurally, demand is declining. green technologies. they could buy the european push toward green technologies, electric cars, and so on the jonathan: clearly, you are bearish on crude. how are you exposing that in your portfolio, what are you doing? alberto: there are assets in the world that are oil dependent. high-yield credit in the u.s., some emerging market countries. you want to reduce weight to credit which is energy dependent, particularly parts of the u.s. market. also, hedge yourself by shorting some of the cheap and very tight potentially can suffer if oil goes back below 40. same for emerging market countries. darling,s been the
7:40 am
russian credit has been the darling of the credit markets since trump was elected. it is super tight. it is not doing sustainable policies. the russian economy is not healthy. there are a lot of cheap shorts that are proxied close to oil that will suffer if oil goes back below $40. jonathan: great to have you with us. crude, oil, and the president's energy week. the american petroleum president and ceo joins us here from new york city. this is bloomberg. ♪
7:43 am
emma: this is bloomberg daybreak. coming up in the next hour, dr. mario molina, former ceo of molina healthcare. this is bloomberg. anna: president donald trump and russian president vladimir putin will hold their first meeting as heads of state during the g-20 summit next week in hamburg. matt miller joins us now. a lot of ground to cover with you as we look ahead to the g-20. this meeting between putin and trump will be the first meeting actually of these two as leaders. quite a surprise given they have been talked about so much in the same sentence. matt: surprise they have not been already? that is very much true. it has not been a constant love affair. during the campaign, donald trump constantly express his
7:44 am
admiration for vladimir putin, but since then, he's gotten into a lot of trouble because of russia and his administration has had a lot of headaches due to russia. the congress wants to extend more issues that they have dealing with russia right now. it has not really helped president trump having vladimir putin and do what he allegedly has done. they may have more to discuss on the negative side of the ledger than the positive side. nsa's mcmaster says he does not know about the issues that trump will talk about, the fed investigations with putin. elsewhere, interesting to watch the body language between merkel and trump and macron and trump. macron seeing it is pointless to try to isolate trump at the g-20. ist: what they want to show
7:45 am
it is pointless to isolate any country and that everyone should be open, they should all talk together, just as they should all trade together. been the star on the geopolitical scene lately, i think he will take some of the spotlight away from donald trump, something the president will not appreciate very much. at the eu summit in brussels last week, everyone seemed to want to name drop emmanuel macron. europe'sen a part of rising star. the rising star of the u.s. post trump election has not showed up the way the media expected it to. we have not gotten any legislation passed that trump about to pass on the campaign trail. it will be interesting to see those to talk together. also interesting to see donald trump talk to president xi. of the issues with north korea and the things that the administration have done to
7:46 am
analyze a chinese bank, shipper, citizens, i wonder how president xi will take that. jonathan: i think that is the more important one. getting into the real policy and how president xi goes into the how are we expecting that to shape up over the next couple of months? matt: it will be interesting to see how the two get along post donald trump's tweets. he says he understands china has done everything they can but ultimately failed. now the u.s. is kind of meddling into chinese business, chinese politics, it will be interesting to see how xi reacts. on the lighter side of things, the chinese have given the germans a couple of pandas. angela merkel will meet with president xi, a few other
7:47 am
leaders, and they will be summit to talk more about diplomacy. jonathan: panda diplomacy should be taken seriously. i also want to take a month talk about no tie friday. miller, ande matt apparently, the house of commons just decided that no tie is required any day. alix: emmanuel macron is still wearing one, so we are going by with him. looks like weatt, do not take our issues from -- cues from you. you look ahead, the geopolitical risks are high. do you senset
7:48 am
geopolitics could come back to worry the markets in a way that maybe it has not done in the first half of the year? alberto: we have the biggest divergence between geopolitics and volatility. i agree there can be a catch up. we are seeing it in small bounces in volatility. yesterday we saw the vix index going to 15 and then coming back down. the market will continue to be anesthetized by qb until monetary policy normalizes. what we have is a long until anesthetic. two he reduces volatility in bond, pushes investors to search for yield, pushes them into qery trades, and until normalizes, we will not see the same connection between geopolitical risk and volatility. having said that, we are worried about geopolitical risk in china, north korea.
7:49 am
we think there is the potential for u.s. actions and we are heading that risk into the second half of the year. anna: also likely to be talked about at the g-20, issues around climate change. do you and your portfolio still buy climate change as a concept, invest around moving toward clear technology? despite the stance of the white house? positioned toe reduce the weight in portfolio from all types of energy sensitive credits and stocks. if oil can go back below $40, we think the old energy sector will be vulnerable. there are smaller companies where you can invest for clean energy and renewables. we definitely look at them. we also think the potential for lower oil has an impact on geopolitics of the oil exporters. southample, middle east,
7:50 am
and latin american countries, we are worried about escalations of the regimes in these countries because of low oil. we are aware of the shift. jonathan: one of the surprises of the first half was how em ripped the blanket long trade on pretty much everything. is the second half going to get more difficult? alberto: we are worried about this because with policy normalization from the fed, if they really go according to the dots, emerging markets will suffer. you have a widening in the treasury. a lot of the performance in emerging markets has been also in currencies and the bonds. it is thanks to the lowering of the treasury yields. it is a pure carry trade, a search for yield trade. if you get a rebound in treasuries, as we are seeing in .unds, this can have a hiccup
7:51 am
structurally, we like emerging markets, but we have reduced a lot of our overweight in the first half of the year. it is time for a pause. if we see some repricing, maybe we get back in. alix: a lot of money coming into the trade. what is your strongest conviction trade or the back cap of the year? alberto: we think we still need to see european reflation. europeanro, stronger integration, stronger european financials, tighter yields in the periphery -- tighter spreads. this is a trait that needs to be priced in. we are also worried about geopolitical risks. iner oil, geopolitical risk north korea, russia, and middle east. get yourlly good to perspective, alberto gallo, of algebra's. check out tv . interact with us directly.

8:03 am
we see many investors who missed the rally last year, global equities over 16% over that period of time. many are asking whether it is too late to buy. our message is it is not. when we look at stocks that have led the market higher, they include technology and financials, but it's been a broad-based rally, many stocks inning new highs in the last few months. when we look at this sustained economic expansion, the breath of flows coming into the equity markets, with we believe are reasonable values, we believe it is right to own the equity markets, right to take a long-term view. to your question, it is right to be bonded debts when you get opportunities. alix: how do you stack the value versus growth dilemma. adjusted int be financials and energy in that respect? if you look at value
8:04 am
today, yes, you see financials in there, many of which have done extremely well over the last few years. financials have been one of the best performing sectors in the past 12 months. we thank that can continue. you actually find many tech stocks in the value segment as well. a lot of people like to put it in the either or, but we see momentum doing well from here and we see value doing well, too. jonathan: let's talk about momentum, the conditions to keep that performing, how broad-based that can be. look at a lot of people momentum as a risk factor. when they see stocks doing well continuing to do well, they worry the market is about to come to an end. it is right to think about the risks, but actually cut when we look at many areas of the market, the fundamental support those areas are very strong. we have talked about technology and financials as being two of the areas which have let the market higher, both supported by
8:05 am
sustained expansion and financials particularly supported by the interest-rate outlook. if you look at a geographically, europe has been a great performer in the last 12 months, emerging markets have been a great performer in the last 12 months. we think both of those can continue. the fundamentals supporting both markets are strong. evaluations of those markets, although they have done well, in our view, are still reasonable and attractive compared to other parts of the market. perhaps most importantly, we have just started to see many investors stepping back into the market, many investors being cautiously positioned worried about short-term risk. it is only in the last 12 weeks that you are starting to see flows come back into these areas. we think that can persist. jonathan: for those who got nervous about the bond shakeup in the last week, if you asked people generally what was the anchor for risk assets, they may point out low rates, low bond yields a what is the anchor for
8:06 am
risk assets through the rest of the year going into 2018? i think the anchor continues to be a low level of interest rates compared to history, and sustained expansion data consistent growth remaining above trend. what's interesting to me, you have seen this music and in bond expectations in the last three days, but equity markets as a whole have been very resilient to that. there has not been a taper tantrum. bond yields move higher but equities have been resilient. to me, that point to investors nervous about rates rising. but if rates are rising because the global economy is getting better, because we're in a sustained expansion, and that is good news for equities over time. we think this is the time to be taking the long-term view rather than focus on short-term concerns. anna: richard, if you had to pick between financials and tech, i have a sharp that shows this, where they have been over

the last 12 months, and where they have just sold most recently, if you had to pick, because they are driven by such different things, which would you pick? richard: we like both tech and financials. both have done well over the last year. actually, when you say they are driven by different things, i would disagree. both are very exposed to the economic environment. they both and if it from the spoon two of the sustained expansion. we think technology has further to run. we think the valuations of many tech stocks look extremely attractive to us. this is a market environment where investors will be looking for companies which can deliver sustained growth as we get more and more disruption. they want to focus on the winners. in financials, that is a sector which has had a significant pullback in the last few weeks. many have started to question the outlook there.
8:08 am
we think the outlook is still strong. as interest rates start to rise, and we think they will in the u.s., that will be very supportive of the financial sector over the next few months. anna: in terms of the tech sector, you don't think the threats, overvaluation, regulatory hurdles, the threats that they may have to pay more taxes, those don't come home to roost for the technology sector? richard: first of all, i would disagree with the statement that technology stocks are overvalued. when you look historically, very low bond yields, people are looking at the last two or three a step a shock, but take back, look at the level of treasury yields today, extremely low by historic standards. when you take that into account, value in these stocks, they look reasonable. large parts of the technology sector look attractive. this is a sector which will continue to do well, investors
8:09 am
will be looking for areas which can deliver sustained growth. we are seeing more bifurcation in the market, winners versus losers over time as we get disruption, and more of the winners will be in the technology sector. in the emerging market debt world said returns from em debt will be lower this we could percent, and be entering a time of quantitative tightening. do you agree, and what does this mean for em equity allocation? r returns in return emerging market will major in much more by your yield over time. we have had a significant re-rating. we think a neutral allocation to emerging-market debt is the right allocation today. we still see very significant opportunities on the emerging market equity side. equities give you exposure to very different parts of emerging
8:10 am
on the debt side, particularly asia. environment,owth one of sustained expansion and gradual interest-rate rises is favorable for emerging market equities. also when we look within and emerging-market equities, we see very compelling domestic stories. strong reforms coming through india, indonesia, economic recovery in countries like brazil and argentina, very strong earnings growth coming throughout asia. we think are emerging on market equities have a lot of upside from here. talked abouthave the bond market, let's talk about the commentary coming from central banks around the world. the fed chair saying asset valuations were somewhat rich. you don't feel they are, that is the feel i get. what do you think she was talking about ? richard: i don't think asset valuations are rich right now. you can look around the world and see pockets of financial
8:11 am
market stress, you can look at areas like european credit, for example, and say there are some signs that valuations are high and vulnerable, and we would agree with that. if we look at the valuations in terms of broad asset classes, we think valuations are reasonable overtime. as we see interest rates gradually rise, that will be an environment where investors will look for whether they are being paid take risk and that will encourage investors to look at international stocks where you are still being paid to take risk, rather than many fixed income assets. jonathan: richard turnill, you are sticking with us. coming up, u.k. confidence fallen to the lowest level since after the brexit vote. sterling softer after seven straight days of gain. yesterday.t 1.30 we go to london to get the latest on brexit and the markets. this is bloomberg. ♪

brexitn: theresa may's dominating agenda one of backing of the house of commons, marking the first test of alliance with the irish party. for more we are joined by our brexit editor simon kennedy. let's talk about the road ahead for brexit but begin with the current state of the u.k. economy. various data points throughout the week. u.k. consumer confidence not looking great, but the backdrop of the health of consumer, looking at credit, savings, that is not good either. run me through the overall picture. simon: the consumer was much
8:15 am
stronger than those expected, really took some power out of where hisan union, before that they would sing through. the consumer did a good job with the british economy last year. now they are starting to slow. you see data coming up today about savings rates at a multi-decade low, consumer sentiment down, a whole series of indicators that the consumer is not that strong going forward. that would suggest the economy is going to take a bit of a hit. jonathan: let's talk about hard brexit soft brexit. some in the united kingdom voted for labour hoping for something different on the brexit situation rather than voting for the conservative party. did we find out that is maybe not what they are going to get in the last 24 hours? simon: a bit of a wake-up call with the jeremy corbyn firing some of his team after they voted for an amendment that down have left the country for the path of a softer brexit
8:16 am
than most see. commitment runto on the election campaign, leaving the single market. seats are in its places that are prone frexit, north of the country, and yet, a lot of seats are also in remain areas, so they have to navigate this support. somewhat brexit, some don't. we saw last night for the moment jeremy corbyn is not using his newfound political muscle to necessarily push a new form of brexit. sticking for the plan -- sticking to the plan for the moment. anna: meanwhile, trade talks between the u.k. and the u.s. -- of course, no deal can be done until the brexit happens -- trade talks will get underway in july although some remain skeptical as to whether big differences can be bridged around health, agriculture, other areas. simon: a trade deal with the u.s., a sense that the one is on
8:17 am
the way would be a big headline for her, ability to say the global promise of brexit that she talked about being delivered. liam fox needs these trade deals to justify his job. and yet, at the same time, with ,merica there are some issues will the americans take advantage of britain's need for a trade deal by demanding financial industry, more wall street rules, food standards, which are more lax in america than britain, will they try to impose lower food standards between trade? will american companies try to get access to the british health service? lots of issues. a lot of hard work to put in. interesting, though, that those talks will start this month, according to the british side. anna: simon kennedy, thank you. for more on brexit, also from
8:18 am
london is richard turnill, blackrock's chief investment strategist. i noticed jpmorgan said that the ftse 100 looks attractive on a cyclically adjusted fee basis. what do you do with u.k. assets at the moment? the u.k. economy does look challenged to us, evidence that brexit is having an impact. that is the one g7 economy where we see downside to economic consensus over the next year or so. when you look at the stock market, remember over 70% of the revenue coming into u.k. stocks come from outside the u.k.. u.k. stock market is highly exposed to the global cyclical recovery, global sustained expansion phase. particularly with exposure to the emerging markets. overall we remain positive, constructive on the u.k. stocks
8:19 am
but would prefer international stocks which of us that exposure to global stocks rather than domestic, where we see some vulnerability. jonathan: what do you make of the financial sector in the u.k. right now, given the state of the u.k. consumer and the data points we have seen this week? consumer credit is exploding. the savings rate is absolutely plunging. are we in for some tough times ahead for some of those banks? banks globally, but for the reasons you highlighted, i think there are better opportunities outside the u.k. in particular, we look at the u.s., in a very different phase of the economic cycle, banks taking significant measures to improve their balance sheets, interest rate is moving higher which will support that interest-rate margins. globally but let the u.s. looks more attractive than other markets. anna: what does the bank of england to? we have been talking about central banks turning more hawkish. certainly the markets have
8:20 am
reacted to comments from the bank of england governor this week. kristin forbes talking about the key thing for her is wages, and index showing how people might be confident enough to move jobs. where does the boe go? richard: we think they will be very gradual going forward. although growth is holding up in the u.k., it's the one area where our own signals, when we look at the macro signals, suggest that things are starting to slow. when we look at inflation in the u.k., yes, running higher than what the bank of england is comfortable with, but a large amount of that is due to the depreciation in the pound. we think that will wash out of the inflation figures. our view is the bank of england, being very cautious, very gradual in its approach to moving interest rates. global central banks will continue to be cautious going forward. anna: we see the headlines about when the u.k. will start trade talks with the united dates, want to do many trade deals
8:21 am
after the brexit. thehis material when conversation with the eu still up in the air? richard: you have a huge range of uncertainty now for the u.k. in terms of what our trade deals look like in a few years time. the result of the recent election just broadens the range of possible outcomes. it's very hard for investors today to try and trade stocks on the expectations of trade deals. much better to take a long-term view, focus on fundamentals of companies, identify those areas of the market where you are being paid to take risk. anna: richard turnill, thank you. great to get your thoughts this morning. coming up here on bloomberg daybreak, jack gerard, who is the american petroleum institute president and ceo. 45.19 on wti. this is bloomberg. ♪

8:31 am
let's get your initial risk -- thoughts. there is a story in here somewhere. michael: we like to talk about core inflation because it takes out oil prices. in terms of the headline number, it falls to 1.4%, farther away from their 2% target. janet yellen told us they expect this because of oil, they expected the year-over-year numbers to be affected by the cell phone price wars earlier in the year. they are going to try to look past this did -- this. prices are down again on a monthly basis. rose .2%. that has been revised down. it looks like we are not seen and inflation a problem, even if you strip out some of those things they are looking at your it that may give some relief.
8:32 am
inflation story is not moving expectations. >> there is always a question about the late cycle story we find ourselves in. numbersticular set of doesn't change our view on the market. it doesn't change our attitude about taking risks right now. we want to be diversified. we want to be more diversified out of the u.s.. we hope the data is only one part of the story. now, we are starting to push higher yields again. anne: we thought our range was going to be to 290. they say it is back up and running with 15 basis points. we are at the bottom of our

range. this is reacting to speeches people made an traders responded. alix: there you go. onant to get your take personal spending. that was up .1%. the final demand we saw was solid did are we into a final a demand, weaker consumer spending dynamic? michael: we don't know. that is something the fed is watching closely. washingtonenda in stalled, the idea of corporate tax cuts and infrastructure going nowhere at the moment, it doesn't seem like is this will be interested in increasing spending. what will happen to consumer spending? do people continue to spend because they are confident? confidence has hung in there. do they start to pare back. we are starting to see that in these numbers. one of the questions is do you
8:34 am
have the money to spend? if you're going to pick out one number on this income report that is worrisome, wages in salaries only one up .1%. do we spend money or not? unemployment is low. that is something the fed will watch here it -- watch. jobless claims of this low, watch the story? anne: i don't know if you want to blame the new economy, that is something everyone is trying to figure out. you would think there would be wage pressure coming through. lots of open jobs are posted, yet there is this stubborn, how misleading averages can be. maybe we need to be taking down to the next player. are going up where there is demand an open jobs.
8:35 am
we to do more research on that. anna: should this be even more attention by the fed and central banks? wages against u.k. wages. the stories are not entirely dissimilar. the technology issue is relevant. should central banks be focusing more here? anne: what is the core job? u.s. is unique in its dual mandate. it does the same thing about wages. is health of the economy dependent on people earning money. i would also say is someone who does a lot of retirement stocks, retirement is up. it may take a little bit of a lag before you see that go back into the economy. that's not necessarily bad news. alix: it does dovetail into what we've heard from the administration area -- administration.

they don't want to lose the jobs. the trump administration officials said he was hell bent on it tariffs. are we back into a potential trade war situation? michael: if the president does go ahead with the section 232 determination in terms of steel, it could lead us in that direction. it could bring on trade retaliation from other countries. we have a lot of tariffs already on chinese steel. there is not a lot the president can do about chinese steel. our biggest steel importer is canada. we would be going after the canadians and the germans. we would be going without the south koreans. it could lead to some sort of retaliation. the biggest problem with steel is china is dumping comes of
8:37 am
steel on the world. it's global. there is overcapacity. it goes into germany and depresses prices around the world. we can't put of the barrier that will change that are in -- that. joanathan: they are going after the auto industry. michael: what will really happen is this pushes up prices downstream for all manufacturers, automakers, type in steelmakers. all of those prices are going to go up. in exportswill go up will be less competitive. that's why they have gotten so much pushback on this. downstream users are so much larger than the steel companies. the impact would probably be negative. anna: thank you both very much. daybreak,on bloomberg

8:43 am
ability to create jobs and put people back to work. we are pleased with this broader vision. instead of creating areas to producing domestic energy, he is opening it up for more pipelines and more facilities. is focused on the heart and soul of economics. that is energy and saying we can take it to a new level from what we've accomplished. alix: president obama lifted the exports for oil and the shale revolution happen under president obama. there were not a lot of restrictions. jack i might take small exception. it was the congress of the united states that lifted the export ban. we convinced the president signed that as part of a broader package. when the previous administration left town, we were dealing with

8:48 am
i don't want to call them inflation hedges. , youu have a portfolio want to own some commodity exposure. our view right now is it's not a problem. as we heard from some of the statistics coming out, buying energy sensitivity is cheap. to putt's not a bad time that in the portfolio. when you want to put had john is when you're not worried about it. you don't want to wait until people are worried about it and the prices going up. think other side and i there is a discussion about this. is there going to be a macro effect. is that going to benefit the consumer? downsideoing to be the on manufacturing. does that create a competitive advantage in the u.s.? oil prices have been stuck in this mid 40's range for a while. my fundamental issue with
8:49 am
this is the policy in d.c. benefits the companies on a micro level but not a macro level. you let them produce more, that adds to the supply. there is a bizarre catch 22. get that and, we it hurts us. that's what we saw two years ago. anne: you have to see how it plays out. pumping marginal units? can you stay in the game? , don't think the level we hit i don't know we can stay at that level sustainably. does that in a weird way help us? you could say the industry came out just fine from all that.

scott: the bond market has been largely telling us we are going to be in a modest growth environment for quite some time. it's been telling us that six hikes in two years is a headwind for the economy, not a reflection of an accelerating economy. stock valuations are stretched. we are looking for the market to finish this we're -- year 6% lower than where we are right now. we want our clients to stay invested. there are multiple headwinds that are going to be a problem for stocks and -- stocks. joanathan: bonds are down and yields are up. scott: i think the headwind for us is valuation. you are at 19 and change on the s&p. you're obviously in a rate hike cycle, which tends to be a

do we ever get that kind of correction? aret: are fixed income guys looking for the 10 year yield at the end of this year to be slightly higher. i don't think you will see a big act up and yields. if you think about staples, we are underweight those. they have underperformed if you look over a several year time. i don't think these are going to work out very well. i don't think the cycle is coming to an end. the international economies are picking up a little it. i think you want to be assertive. you want to be leaning toward the economy improving slightly. you're going to have to grind it out i think. this is a perfect time for active managers. passive management has worked great worried we are in a cycle or you need to be a picker. alix: stick around.

rate surge inr germany,d the u.k. and let's come to you. are you playing this bond selloff? it has been a busy week in terms of central bank rhetoric and commentary. heard,play what you have is that getting you playing this scene? scott: not really. that the ecb and many of these other central banks around the world, you're not going to have armageddon interest rate levels forever. they are going to back off. they are going to taper these purchases. you have a good indication from a number of things. what the dollar has been doing lately, it has been weakening.
9:15 am
which central bank is going to be tighter? the dollar has been telling you it's not the fed. these other central banks are going to be pushing their rates up. this is a normalization process. it needs to happen. they are very happy this is going to taper little bit. you've got to think about what the global economy is going to do. it's going to get a little bit better. we are not going to have a lot of inflation. we are trying to reconcile the policy normalization story and how that can occur. have we learned how that's going to happen this week? scott: that's a tough thing for the fed. you could argue we are looking for 2.3% gdp growth.
9:16 am
this definitely shouldn't. the central banks have their backs against the wall. the market has been trading off these low rates. beeninancial markets have using these low rates. b,ting from point a to point that isn't much of a jump in terms of terminal rates. getting it there is a problem. right now, the u.s. 10 year me they aretells saying six rate hikes in two years and a modest growth economy. they willhistory is let the economy lead them higher. we've been doing these tight means just to get the money market rates.

this is the highest it has been in five or six years. it was six months ago when that same chart you had on your site was people were betting on higher oil prices the most. joanathan: are we going to see a time of year with the financials can be unleashed? bill: eight years of misery don't get followed by one good year of market action. think of how hated that has been. they were the tobacco stocks of the 2000s. everyone hated them. political careers were built on it picking on them. dodd-frank was set up. more barn doors were closed after the animals were out and anna: now we see political careers in reverse.

9:23 am
they are focused on the vix. a indicator. it is not leading indicator. it is probably more of a lagging indicator. you cannot look at the vix as an indication of what's going to happen in the future. it's also in currencies and treasuries. does volatility pick up their? does that include equities? bill: it might be greatly affected by the way individual investors and financial advisors have shifted away from individual stocks. we are in the large-cap space. what that means is the
9:24 am
individual investor is not likely to own individual stocks. thenost successful have $800 and $1000 stocks. that puts the individual investor that much farther removed. if you look at the sentiment 26.5% bears.les, those numbers are a monstrously low total. the neutrals are dominating. if you don't have any idea what , what reason is there for volatility? you said the move can be explained by passive away from active. bill: that's what sets up the next 1987.
9:25 am
1987 was portfolio insurance. we were late in the five-year run the triple the dow from the low to the high. people thought it was work folio we were down 22% in one day. the pied, you've got piper running around. you can sit through the declines. when that happens, you've got the momentum guys, they are going to head for the exit. that is going to hurt the stock that is in the index. anna: what gives this a boost to volatility. we have central banks in the mix. we have regulators in the mix. what gives us the boost in the future? scott: i do think we get something from global central banks.

the fed is going to do three hikes in 18. there are central banks around the world as well. certainly, earnings growth for the rest of the year is great, 15% in the first quarter against an easy,. that's going to get tougher. we are going to see nothing close to 15% for the rest of the year. this lack of progress in washington, we were of the how far into 2018 is this going to happen? it's going to be a combination of things that make the market turn a little bit and. joanathan: from new york, you're watching lumbered tv. ♪

well. you have oil steeper, macron earnings. all of the helping the market, as well as banks. bank of america up by almost 8%. jpmorgan following suit, up 5%. citigroup up 6%. it is a trifecta for these stocks. they can think mario draghi for that. the yield curve steepening over the last few days. a big jump in yield helping banks. in addition, the by banks -- the buybacks banks on us -- a $59 billion by the combined. bank of america getting extra love after warren buffett converted preferred shares to dividend shares. he is now the top shareholder of the company. this is a new theme for the bank -- a june phenomenon. for the first half of the year it has been all about tech. the rotation happening in the

9:33 am
sell, and then it quickly became buy. we are joined by mike reagan. the headline grabbing story at the back end of the quarter has been a rally in financials, but it has been a quiet rally in health care as well. what is driving test? mike regan: well, a lot of what is going on the market, we tend to think of people rotating between sectors -- tech into financials, cyclicals into defensive, but there is so much rotation in different factors right now. people getting into high beta stocks, out of high beta, out of growth stocks, into value. there is a lot of different style of rotations. i think health is a value rotation. these were stocks left behind immediately after the election, and it became, sort of, clear, that president trump -- he almost sounded a little bit like hillary clinton during the

campaign on drug prices -- there was a were he would come out strong on these escalating drug prices. that has gone away. healthot know what this bill will look like, but there doesn't seem to be this aggressive push back on drug prices. that is a big part of it. jonathan: just pricing is wanting. another sector we were expecting pushback was em. the best performing emerging-market currency, drumroll -- the peso. who saw that coming? it has been that kind of year, hasn't it? bill: three version of the mean happens. your points are well taken. scott made a comment that he was looking in three to six-month time fence. and your point is there is this money, smartest people in the room doing all this stuff, and the beauty of it is there is
9:35 am
thousands of people that would love to know what is going to happen in three to six months and gain the benefit of trades from three to six months. the truth of it is we have sat there with most the same amgenies, and your point, is the second-largest physician. they wake up from 152 to 173, and i have the color in my cheeks again. a year ago february, bank of america had a low as $12, a ridiculous price, a throwaway price, and jpmorgan was 53, so jamie dimon calls his broker and buys the stock. sayseauty of it is buffett the stock market was formed to move money from impatient people to patient people, and that never changes, but with all the indexing, that are fewer people that want to stick their neck out, buy things, sit for a year where it is not going their way
9:36 am
so for three years they will go their way. anna: and you are patient. bill: that is how we make our money -- we are not that smart. anna: if you can't be smart, be patient. i did hear from one investor that says similar to your point, we don't know what health care will look like, but we think we know how bad it could be. we have some confidence to buy the health-care stocks we know more about. mike: it is so interesting. john templeton, who was one of my heroes -- used to go on interviews or on tv, and would say the things invented in health care in the next 10 years i going to be more spectacular than anything that has been invented up till now. that is really true. think about this one thing for a minute. there are -- there are millions and millions of people between 55 and 70, and we just found out and jim has a -- amgen has a

fast this stuff is coming back. we still get the calls that we will see backwardation -- it'll just be later than before. we will get higher prices in the short term, lower price than the long-term. is that fancy, or is that something still in the cards for the oil markets? stuart: i would be very cautious on backward nation. and alooking at it today, month ago. that is great if you want to do floating storage, but i don't see any evidence right now that is going to go into backwardat ion. i am not making a prediction because i have learned my lesson. it is a folly to make these predictions. you never know what is going to happen. in terms of the prices, there is a market act -- argument to be made that the market is still -- so short.

you do have the potential for a short squeeze. you could see a rally. we have seen over the last couple of days. you see a little bit of a rally, what will happen -- sh comes back ina,le opens new production or effectively buys insurance to keep going in the future. hale guys go gs #btv --, on, come on. -- what does by tj this wind up meeting for big oil? willoughby talking about dividend cuts -- will we be talking about dividend cuts? >> that is not what we are expecting. we are constructive on the price of crude. one of the things that is interesting for crude, a lot of the u.s. oil services names are actually discounting a decline in recount in the u.s., and that

has been a big issue. there has been so much u.s. production, less growth. if that were to happen, you expect to see a rebound in price, which would be good for a lot of stocks. stuart: -- anna: what about the rate at which these businesses could take costs out, certainly in europe, the way big oil majors trying to cope with oil prices, hammering costs and what they did to shareholders as well. with cost savings, where do you see -- in your universe that you look at, the opportunity to take costs out, tackle the periods when we see downturns in oil? t.j. thorton: i think that is right. beencers in the u.s. have getting more efficient, and that is one of the reasons you see continued declines in prices.
9:48 am
these guys are able to take their costs down. you are seeing their -- taking in certain parts of the market. there is a tight labor market in the u.s.. that has meant labor availability is not great. that,s another thing though it may not be as good for the producers because producers have seen costs come down for so long, it should help us find a crude,in the price of especially combined with the fact that, you know, as cost goes up and price goes down, that means, you look ahead, less u.s. production. alix: what is the best way to play the better micro-story, worse macro story? producers get more efficient, they can do more lower prices -- the good micro-part, but on the macro part we get lower prices that squeezes long-term production. what is your best strategy to play that? t.j.: one of the stocks we have
9:49 am
on our franchise take list is rpc inc. -- a u.s. oilfield services names. the reason we like them -- we think the stock is discounting a decline in rig count, which, as i said before, we think is the case for a lot of the oil field names in the u.s.. as u.s. gains share, we expect to continue to see growth. it just may be at a somewhat slower pace. it really works in the favor of a lot of the u.s.-centric names. that is another thing we find attractive about res. jonathan: t.j. thornton, thank you for joining us. we want to get you up to speed on the data. the chicago pmi -- the chicago purchasing managing and x coming in at 65.7. that is the print. big upside surprise. the previous number, 59.4%.
