totlemen, thank you so much talk about this. do you have any sympathy to his arguments that are doing real harm? >> not unless there is real evidence of that. i am not sure there is at this moment in time. that is his opinion. roughly speaking the federal must the coming around to the view that the participation rate will stay at roughly stable. jobs can still cause the unemployment rate to fall. that is going to have a impact on what the fed does with rates. we are seeing a tapering of investments. a hike this year in december and then one or two next year. i think that will probably reflect that we are seeing that

pickup and wages. it is probably coming up more. function with this hike, it is 31%. the probability of that is low. >> i think it is low and it is falling if you go back. we were talking about something that was more 50-50. clearly the lack of inflation pressure that we have been getting. language some of the is suggesting that there is less expectation in terms of the additional hike. are thethe question is fed correct or is the market correct? i think that is where the real debate will be going for the end of the year. the influence of that will be -- influence and so it's

date against the g10 peers, the best performers of 15%. event, data,y whatever stopping the decline/ i think there are a couple of things to consider. we were talking a little bit about the debt doing. historically when we have seen resolutions on the debt ceiling we have seen that dollar having a little bit of a left. that is one factor. the other thing relates to china. that goes back to the fiscal sense. the dollar has been down against all of their peers through the course of the year to date. we look at the graph in the the trumpter it is inflation story. that is going to be on the back burner or it will be taken off the agenda entirely.

is that appropriate if we would see even somewhat subtle movements in terms of fiscal reform, i think that would be a catalyst to suggest that we are going to see a long-term reversal. perhaps we will see some degree of corrections going through this. positioning is a factor. technically speaking if we were to get a big move with the dollar it would probably be more to the upside on the downside. bleed lower in the broadside with the global backdrop. what we see with the 1% of appreciation over the coming year. issue does notg become a major global risk scenario that could affect the dollar until we are on the eve of a payment and it looks like it is actually going to miss the

payment. until that happens the dollar will probably bleed lower as the debate in congress works its way through. largely speaking negative dollar fits with the macroeconomic profile of the united states. why need a bit over the next decade. due to demographic factors. it is also a risk on trade probably speaking. we think over the course of september the market will largely seek to the debate on the debt ceiling as political posturing and something will be done even if it takes until mid october. it is not become a big risk factor coinciding or collided with north korean tensions until we are on the eve of that payment. then it was a get will be missed. >> stay with us. we have lengthy coming up. we will take a look at the next steps as we interview the kiwi

then do it. mark: with the german election a couple weeks away, let's cross over to the morgan stanley conference in frankfurt. hille, thanks for joining us. -- is theminal action german election a market moving event or not? >> hi, mark and welcome from frankfurt. we don't think the german election will be a market moving event and obviously we are in a low volatility environment, but we expect a relatively calm outcome. mark: the low volatility environment, what risk is this low volatility under, given the risks that present themselves in the month of september, from hurricane irma to north korean tensions, to the raising of the u.s. debt ceiling.

those are just three issues that investors have got their eye on. >> we have looked at the low volatility environment and it can persist much longer than a lot of people expect. on average, they can last 12 to 22 months. you have to be in it to win it, so returns can be good. at the end of the day, low volatility itself is not a good indicator. what you have to look at is implied volatility versus real life. that premium is still in a normal environment. mark: you are not forecasting a market correction then in the near-term? >> i'm not forecasting a market correction based on that. the only risk off scenario we will see is more based on event driven risk, likely north korea conflict, or a policy error form rom a central bank. you cannot predict

and we do not predict anything in that low vol environment. i would say it is a good indicator, on the contrary, for a longer growth cycle that we are currently seeing, if you look at gdp numbers, fundamental earnings growth, particularly in europe. mark: you prefer european equities to u.s. equities right now? equities,er european but we also prefer european equities relative to high-yield. it is the first time since 2002 that european equitity dividends are actually higher, or the dividend yield is higher than the high-yield return in european high yield credit. a yield around r tell the u.s. 10 yea us about the bond market's opinion about the pathway for a

fed rate hike, and the u.s. economy? >> i think, a couple of things. first of all, we have to realize the implied probability of a fed rate hike has come down substantially. i would put it at below 30% now. nevertheless, we expect two further rate hikes in the next 12 months. on the other side, looking at longer-terms, the 10 year yield in the u.s., it is getting close to 2%. they could go below 2%, but the probability is not very high from our perspective. people are using treasuries hedge, as aduration diversification element. say 10said that, i would year treasury yields are in the range of 2% to 3% for the

foreseeable future. mark: what tweaks have you been making to your multi-active portfolios lately? >> on the fixed income side we employ what i would call a strategy. we have the money market floating on the one hand side. and then we have the emerging market sovereigns, typically dollar-denominated, but hedged into euro on the other side. that is on the fixed income side. on the equity side, the name of the game is growth and income. so, we are preferring companies that have growth potential. and you know, sustainable dividends over the long run. that is most predominant at this moment. mark: christian hille, thanks for joining us. we are getting breaking news. south korea's moon is asking

i think that probably has some to go. a number of pairs, the on just the euro-sterling. perhaps, divorcing yourself from being wedded to the ecb, and the debate whether the ecb will push back against euro strength. you will look at the other europe bangs, which are moving towards a monetary tightening. that could be the case in terms of the australian dollar, for example. sterling is underperforming against the canadian dollar as well. there are a number of pairs that have these opportunities. mark: what is your canadian dollar thought, gentlemen? we have some breaking news. milan afterd in rising 5.5%. chrysler shares have been halted in mylan after rising as much as 5.5%.

october, what is the bank going to do? wait again? the issue here is the bank wants to get, i think, rates back to at least pre-oil crisis levels because of risks in the canadian economy. there is a risk attached to them waiting because the window might not be as opportune then. our official call is, no move t oday. our economists are also saying, don't expect the boc to promise a path of continual rate hikes. and jeremy would agree. >> and i think that is the point. we were assuming they would hike today. i think the bank needs to push back against the consecutive hikes. we have not seen a non npr hike in seven years. mr. carney was the last want to push one through. we have seen two hikes. should there be a third in the not too distant future, the bank

would push back. at this time, it is all about taking back the emergency stimulus. a surprise, going back to the press conference in july, was that they pushed back against the idea that this is what the bank was trying to achieve at this particular juncture. i think it is fascinating if you look at that chart. mark: this is a five-year chart, going back to 2012. >> if we are talking about removing the emerge the rate cuts, that takes us back to the beginning of 2015. that is just north of 1.20, not materially away from where we are now, and where we could easily get to. mark: what is the forecast, both of you? >> i think we will see short-term canadian gains, if we see that rate hike today, towards that 1.20 pressure. but i don't think we will see this ongoing appreciation down to the levels we are seeing at the extremities of the left-hand of the chart.

getting higher. the real issue now is that the crops sitting on the trees, the next crop due for harvest the next couple months is about the size of a golf ball, which does not some great, but when it gets hit by a 80 mile per hour wind, it will get hit pretty hard and drop. we are two to four days off when it hits. it could miss the orchards, maybe not. that is what we are watching. nejra: what about wti crude? we actually see a little recovery there is some of these refineries come back online. >> this is a strange hurricane. because it is going to hit florida, we're not so worried about the energy aspect. human life, that is the much more critical issue. but in terms of the economics, it is not bot, this one. -- it is not bad, this one. we have seen a bit of recovery,

but i would not expect a huge move on the crude market. tom: let's go to the bloomberg, which has the advantage of showing is not one but two hurricanes. this is very easy to see, the american continent. florida is right in here. there's my terrible map with my pencil. this is irma, with the variability of irma from below cuba to the bahamas. over here is where stuart wallace vacations. here is joese behind it and it seems to have a flight path curving oftein the atlantic ocean. for our global audience, harvey was over here in houston to the west of the gulf of mexico. irmaart, you can see driving your florida. but this is not a hydrocarbon story, is it? >> i don't think so. we expect some drop-off in natural gas demand.

but in terms of a direct impact, no. we were slightly worried for a little bit of time because one of the forecasts showed it veering into the gulf of mexico. that does not seem very likely at the moment. but just to add to this fairly complex matter, we have a tropical depression in the gulf of mexico. i don't think that will affect the u.s. production, but we are worried about the production in mexico. nejra: our guest hosts are antonio garcia pascual and co-head of fx and rate strategy at ubs. they join us now. let me turn to you first, in terms of the reaction we have seen to a confluence of risks in global markets. the 10 year treasury yield is powering down towards 2%. do you see that going any lower? >> firstly, let me say there are very few assets out there that

offer the kind of insurance as the 10 year tends to have. throughout the year, the 10 year has always had a little upside in terms of the yield. the natural pressure release. second, this is support for the equities. the third is from a valuation basis, we do not expect much higher yields. this might be closer to something like 2.3%. been: volatility has not as high as you might expect, certainly when you look at the vix and volatility through the asian and european markets. are there any overflows, spillovers from this that you see in europe at all? >> that has been a big battle because the geopolitical risks are fairly high. you have political risks in the u.s. you have all these natural disasters or hurricanes about to

hit. there is a bit of a battle. i think the concern, and this might not happen immediately, is that if risk aversion were to jump, the world economy is not in a great position. when you look at the safe assets, what we are discussing now, interest rates are very low already. risk aversion is an automatic change. if the perception changes, this lack in the world economy and the policy space is there. you should be ready for a strong reaction if that were to happen. tom: i want to look at the dollar right now. with the carnage with the carnage we saw yesterday and the correlation of the markets with risk off, this is the chart we were showing. i have zoomed in on recent dollar activity. this is a very elegant weak dollar chart. this is the bloomberg dollar index, which is way cool mathematics.

i'm sorry, themos, but this is the mother of all shorts. what is the magnitude of dollar weakness that we could see? >> it depends on the time frame, basically. i don't think we will see tremendous amounts of additional dollar weakness this year, unless something big and negative happens. for a number of reasons, which we can discuss. heading into next year that will probably resume. it is not about direction. directionally, the dollar is expensive and the euro is cheap. it is more about the speed at which these developments are happening and the kind of reflexes creates with the policymakers. nejra: antonio garcia pascual and themos fiotakis stay with us . stay with bloomberg. we will bring you all the latest ahead of tomorrow's crucial ecb meeting. we will bring you that decision live tomorrow at 7:45 in new london, 12:45 in

surveillance." it is a partial victory for intelin the eight year battle with the european union over a $1.3 billion fine. the eu court of justice as a lower court must re-examine the antitrust case. that matter could have ramifications for disputes involving u.s. tech companies. factory orders unexpectedly fell in germany, europe's largest

economy. the july figures were released less than three weeks before angela merkel faces an election for her for a term. the germany economy had picked up some momentum. the largest energy company in europe is investing in projects to boost natural gas demand. executivetch shell says the company is supporting the development of gas use in heavy transports, such as shipping. shell is also helping small and less creditworthy customers. that is your bloomberg business flash. tom: we need to pause. we knew it was coming. that was an extraordinary american politics of september. the end of the summer brought a terrific essay from john mccain on congress getting itself back in order. he has become distracted by the new immigration debate called daca. president trump''s decision to

eliminate daca is the wrong approach to immigration policy at a time when both sides of the aisle need to come together to reform our broken immigration system. saidld have respectfully that kennedy could have written that note six years ago. stephanie, we knew all this was coming. i want to get to secretary tillerson in a moment, but on d aca, we, like the united kingdom, are distracted by the third rail, which is immigration. reporter: this is a really difficult issue for congress to grapple with. remember, immigration reform in versions of the dreamer's act have been difficult issues on congress' table for the last decade and a half. the house passed a version of the dreamer's act in 2010 and a failed in teh senahe senate.

the notion that they could get this passed by march is unrealistic. and it kicks it to the midterm elections and makes it a central issue they will have to grapple with as they campaign for reelection in november. tom: i agree that were president trump it is actually political genius to throw it over to congress. none other than mike bloomberg, he writes today for bloomberg news of the need for courage. i'm hearing that from a lot of other sources. what is your take on the history of courage in congress? >> like this then, to get this passed, there is bipartisan support for this. look at what paul ryan said yesterday, that the dreamers are the most sympathetic immigrants in america. there are moderates in the republican party who support this, but they will the democrats to back any bill they

pass. reluctantwill be very to support the agenda of the republican-controlled congress read before the midterm elections. either way, whatever lands on trump's desk, he will either have to pass some version of the dreamers act and alienate his base, or reject it, and alienate a wing of the republican party. nejra: it was interesting that president trump made the decision without consulting republicans, but also it seems, without consulting business. we got a fair amount of reaction on that front. reporter: widespread criticism of the decision from mark zuckerberg, tim cook, google, microsoft, wells fargo, jamie dimon, across-the-board. they have criticized him for doing this. they are ramping up pressure on congress to pass some sort of reform package that will help them. many of these people work for

fortune 500 companies, and they are affected by this. tom: something percolating right now, and i saw a great essay on foreign policy on this, is where is secretary tillerson? this is away from daca. the secretary is much more affiliated with the diplomacy or non diplomacy to north korea. where is secretary tillerson? reporter: he has been notably quiet on many issues. there had been speculation he was considering resigning. that is something he has denied. he's been upstaged on a number of issues, whether it is north korea. accounts, hey many is reconsidering his position. maybe he will stay on until january. he has denied that. his silence does raise questions about how long he will be around. nejra: stephanie baker, joining us from bloomberg news.

let's turn to our guests for this hour, themos fiotakis and antonio garcia pascual. themos, does this development change how you look at the u.s.? is it just the fact that there is another couple getting factor when we are trying to get reforms passed through in congress on other issues such as tax reform? >> i would say if you look at where the yields are before the market started pricing some fiscal optimism before now, we are still above those levels. so, the ability to coordinate and produce some kind of liberalization, some kind of fiscal stimulus is very important for the bond markets, or the dollar and for equities. having said that, that expectation has already been scaled down quite a bit. nejra: themos, thank you so much. he stays with us. coming up, we speak with the ing group ceo. this is bloomberg. ♪

good morning. i'm wondering why you have decided to do this and how exactly. for al, i think it calls clear decision as to which research is available to everyone. what research would be more proprietary. always want to be very clear, as soon as possible. we have been very clear as to general economic research, ecb s the kind oft i research we want to make freely available. we did so already this week through a website that is available to anyone and accessible to anyone. nejra: does this mean that it will avoid you having to make job cuts in research departments? >> it has nothing to do with that specifically. it's just that we want to be

very clear as to which part of our research is freely available and what part of the research is proprietary. that's the separation that we made early on. a storiedave got career at ing, including tours of duty in ing territories. john cryan today of deutsche bank cries for consolidation within european banking. are we going to see this kind of consolidation? can europe consolidate cross borders? ing, we if you look at are the product of a consolidation. the largest banks we have in our portfolio are the dutch bank and german bank. they make up for than half the size of ing.

we are proving it can be done. whether more is necessary, honestly i think we will also need more progress on the single supervisory mechanism. real necessity for cross-border banks to really happen. nejra: thank you so much, ralph hamers, joining us from frankfurt. we will be back with antonio garcia pascual of barclays and themos fiotakis of ubs. this is bloomberg. ♪

campaign to overhaul the tax code to north dakota today. he will have in unusual guest on u.s. one, heidi heitkamp. he's living in congress. negotiators are downplaying president trump's threat to pull out of trade talks. have canada, and mexico reiterated their commitment to deal thistiating the year. global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. document says.k. administrators are considering limiting immigration from the e.u. after brexit.

should bed migrants able to come to the u.k. for a most two years. the draft has not been agreed on by ministers, joining us is chief economist at barclays and cohead of rates strategy at ubs. quite a few steps to make migrationn terms of clampdown, but how do you model this when you look at the u.k. economy question mark do you see an impact on wages? migration is a political issue. it is a redline for the e.u. it to also be a redline for the u.k. side for the current on the prime minister. it matters a great deal, for wages, already not showing so much of an increase in that has an application for bank of

england. the big migration in 2000 is in a way that has changed the demographics and has helped sort out the issue of -- security. short-term wages, it's a critical issue, something that the u.k. has leveraged embedded figure -- and benefited from in the past. tom: do you get any sense of immigration normalization in e.u. policy, or is it in great as disarray as we see in the united states? little: i think it is a more the latter, there has been -- that issue is still having big problems on migration from third parties into the e.u. what you have seen post crisis is less marketability, less than

one would expect. the u.k. obviously you have the issue of a bit of this redistribution that should come with migration into areas where income per capita is lower. it's a critical issue, there is no doubt. i think there are issues to be resolved for the outside of the e.u.and inside the is a clear redline issue. as far as brexit goes, that is an issue that has to be clarified quickly if you want a soft exit. tom: not to be rude, but i'm not aware of the barclays call, but i know the e.u. caught out against the weak sterling. brexit the eurosterling, with a blue circle, you can see the substantial move of strong

euro and week sterling. -- weak sterling. are there other factors going on here? themos: you raise a couple of good points. firstly when it comes to the pound against the dollar, the main actions of support there has been the euro. 75% of the volatility of the pound is the euro dollar that is the reason why we haven't been particularly bear on cable. in terms of eurosterling, the around 92,s been which we are hovering around and perhaps having even higher. two factors driving this, the first one is this recent move of the last few weeks is a catch-up of sterling to the euro, driven by politics, but also the stronger euro strength. it's not about brexit, but the

impact of exit on the current account of the u.k. which has the potential of pushing the sterling weaker. : what about the sterling-yen? i think that's my favorite and most interesting crosses. sterling itself has benefited from the global reflation story. it is a look at the current account that we see an income abroade u.k. based asset . it means for whatever reason we have a downturn sterling is particularly vulnerable for reasons outside of brexit. the yen is a typical safe haven currency, for the added reason that the policy set up implies their yields are constant within treasury moves. basically mirrors the 10 year

treasury. sterling-yen is a cyclical currency kind of like the -- hedge. nejra, you are killing me. you are dazzling me. it is a two standard deviation strong move. when draghi is working on this thursday with the ecb, i would suggest this chart overwhelms everything, the brutal move in strong euro is front and center, isn't it? absolutely. right on the mark. this will pretty much be the center of discussion tomorrow. if we will go back a few months, the situation was looking fairly good in terms of close -- house bread -- how spread out growth

separation hits the area, not so much the growth story, in fact, heart of the reason we have the strong euro is we have better growth and less political -- but this creates a major headache for inflation, which was already low. we estimate that this roughly 9% trade weighted appreciation of the euro since february implies 2.3% less inflation over the next 12 months and that is material. already in a low inflation environment. next year average of 1.2, far away from it. it will be at the core of the debate, no doubt. you, nejra, you

are just killing me with sterling-yen. that was awesome. antoniocontinue with garcia and themos fiotakis. i like that. next hour, from germany, ellen zentner.

tom: "bloomberg surveillance," from london. --rative edge and tom keene nejra cehic and tom keene.

listen to president kashkari, . >> maybe our rate hikes are doing a real harm to the economy. it is possible that the rate hikes are leading slower job growth, leading more people on the sidelines, and leaving the lower inflation. these amateur hikes we have been barking on, they are not free and i think we have to remind .urselves of that 101.if i was teaching econ that is the first thing i would show in class today. and "bloombergs markets: americas as "bloomberg mars

-- themos fiotakis. as well. this -- antonio: it is quite a statement , it is hard to defend from the market 101 that you asked me to use that the standard test would include interest rate still at historical lows. we have been discussing how well the labor market is doing, growth is not doing so poorly either. there a part we cannot explain well and that could be a reason for the fed to deliver the stoxx cks, but i think there are good for the fedeasons to deliver according to the notes.

natural geopolitics, --isters, obviously the the one they cannot control and i think this scenario is also predicated on the part that they will pass some of the tax cuts. fitgs are looking a better than a few days ago. i think that is critical for the fed. it will influence growth and influence the debate on monetary policy. tom: this is what we do a bloomberg. we had larry summers on jon ferro.alix, and ofi take my hat trick fisher, summers, and olivier blanchard, they are going to say that president kashkari borders

on irresponsible comments there. what is it that's wrong about the theory that the head is forcing a wage growth slowdown? you describe it well. i think the labor market is already fairly tight. we can debate about phillips curve, about the slope, but in theory we are probably very close to -- and wages should be push from the theory your discussion before. there are international factors that are not well understood. that debate is open. there is a cross-country -- that we cannot explain. but from where they labor market also within a are time of normalization.

one more thing, the u.s. is are more advanced in the business cycle than europe is on most economies, so you need to create policy space on the economy .ycle side that is important. we are in a world we were discussing with low risk, there -- withuch policy to safe levels. didn't know you are signing up for a macro lecture, did you? turning back to the markets because robert burgess writing today talking about this bull market and bonds pointing out that u.s. banks have boosted

their holdings of government bonds to a record. maybe i am focusing too much on the 10 year treasury yield, but should the head be re-assessing the -- should the fed be re-assessing the bond yield at this point with all geopolitical risks and looking ahead to tightening? >> there are a few underlying questions. tom, i think you mentioned havers as well, that would a little bit about -- to what cost car he has said. a few things, is the bond market completely mispriced? it's slightly expensive, but not completely mispriced. openly the accepted equilibrium of rates, which we estimate to be somewhere between 2.3 and 2.9 has declined a lot on the previous cycle. how much can we expect rates to normalize by? the second thing here, inflation expectations have declined --

some of it may be -- tunis, some .ay be a measurement issue is an, risk aversion important manifestation. one quick thought regarding the fed. financial conditions play a big role. you remember reason why the fed pause last year was the tightening conditions in the beginning of the year. tom: is that the cause now? no, it's the opposite. it may impact the hiking decisions. tom: brilliant. that was outstanding. thank you. nejra? we will be back with and themoscia packe

nejra: this is "bloomberg surveillance." mario draghi makes a statement on policy tomorrow, the central bank will raise its gdp forecast, but the site -- despite a strengthening economy, they are likely to dampen inflation outlook. still with us are antonio garcia pascual and themos fiotakis. i want to know what you think the impact from sign-up the conditions could be and why that is important. critical, one of the inputs into the growth forecast, and into inflation. overall activity. the euro appreciation, which has been dramatic and accelerated, really deteriorated at all the financial conditions. when draghi made that point in

the previous meeting, he was right. and still it is the case. why is that? the factors are the arctic conditions, lending rates, qe, the balance sheet continues growing. all of this, the monetary, credit, market going to the index he mentioned. has worsened, but other factors have been enough to offset it. that is not the case for inflation. for growth you can make a similar story, it has been doing well, but inflation, that's where it hurts. that's where pass through is significant. biggest headache. the ecb has a single mandate, which is inflation. that will be at the center of the debate tomorrow. nejra: what about the debate in on potential impact sustainability?

themos: i think that's not an issue that should be linked in the minds of market participants to monetary policy. for whatever reason whether the debate of whether it's a leak is or is not in the monetary union resurfaces with a political crisis, that is a problem. that is a risk and it may resurface for the end of the year. -- italian economy in a good scenario can withstand higher yields. -- itgher yields trigger doesn't make sense economically. you're talking about a scenario where the key parts has a slow growth environment, yet the ecb forces quite high yields and high rates on italy itself, which intuitively doesn't make sense. antonio, this is super core inflation, a great approximation of ecb super court inflation.

here is what it was 10 years ago, here is the crisis of 2007 and the new average low inflation, we are well below that. wes barclays have a sense will get back to this higher inflation, or is that a headache for draghi? antonio: the latter. it is a headache for draghi, we are forecasting that core inflation next year average of 1.2%. tom: ok. so that's down -- antonio: that's right. with the output gap still not close by the end of next year, that's difficult to measure because we do not accept potential. that is true. when you look at three out of the four large euro economies, they have employment rates close to double digits. let's see what happens in france

. it is certainly true in italy and spain. i think it matters, and it is not close yet. you not going to see wage pressures yet to close the gap. tom: we will have full coverage tomorrow looking into the meetings in frankfurt here it antonio garcia pascual, and themos fiotakis, thank you so much. furt, ellen zentner in the next hour on the american economy. kevin cirilli will join us from washington. this is bloomberg. ♪

reaction to harvey, when you look at economic impact there are two things to look at, short-term which could be negative, but longer-term it could be positive it because of reconstruction. that's true. if you look at the impact of hurricanes on gdp and the back to hurricane katrina, that's the biggest most damaging hurricane we have had. it was $160 billion if you adjusted to today's figures. it barely shows up and there is an immediate rebound as people rebuild. then superstorm sandy, we were in a downside, but immediately after you see it pop back up. hurricane effect is usually washed out of the national economy fairly shortly. katrina, the strongest storm, we are still waiting to see where harvey slots in, but clearly it will be up there as number two

or perhaps even number one. andrew in 1992 is still on the list of the most dangerous, biggest ever. you want size and scope? winds that sustained taylor was talking about, the scale doesn't go that high. if it did, this would be a category seven. pleaseyra, jump in here, -- nejra, jump in here, please. nejra: ensures taking a plunge, how does this affect your view of investing around assets? we have a cash reserve -- there are so many moving parts of the world here at we have had

preempt is with a mario draghi in frankfurt. did mr. draghi ask you to go to frankfurt? ellen zentner: of course. he dials and, i am on his speed dial. tom: very good. it is good of you to join us. we need to rip of the script by the amazing comments from neel kashkari suggesting that rate hikes may have slowed the economy, slow job growth and slowed wage growth. are these rate rises having the effect? ellen zentner: you know, i would have to take exception to his comments because we do not know that counterfactual's. could the unemployment rate to be even lower had we not embraced the rates? it could have been. i look at the limiting factors productivity,like growth and our labor market, general demographics and it

seems we are growing about right where we should be. even with rate hikes, we are growing beyond the economy's potential. at financial conditions today and our own measures show as they are the easiest since the financial crisis. that would suggest that the fed has raised rates and it had no effect so far. i think there's a good argument against the raising rates have damaged the economy. team havend your written brilliantly on fixed investment in america. this is a chart we rarely show, it goes back to the 1940's and a beautiful trend and ends in 2007 and yeah, we have come back. we have a $2 trillion shortfall in fixed investment to where we would've been without of the crisis. what can the president do within your discussion at morgan stanley conference to jumpstart

investment? ellen zentner: well, i think, let me back up and say, we believe we are in a cyclical upturn and equipment investment in the u.s. and we are seeing companies reported for capex. labor costs have risen that we capex.centivizing wehas taken this long that are seeing a durable, cyclical pick up. what could president trump do on top of that? the types of reform is that encourage investment as a share of gdp to rise. thesimply dropping to corporate tax rate but doing something of real reform that structurally raises the share of gdp and raises the productive capacity. if it is going to be straight

tax relief, honestly, that is not something we need at this late in the cycle and can harm the durability of the business cycle if you punch it with too much stimulus too late. nejra: this is nejra cehic. great to see you. i want to ask you about the dollar, one of the most shorted. how much weaker does it have to go? : i think we do decline in the dollar, the reversal and of the dollar last for a great deal longer before we see it have a lifting effect essay goods prices in the u.s. and what we import. we have to keep in mind that up until january or so of last year, the doctor had depreciated by 16%. post election we saw the dollar rise edit now we see the dollar, back where it was pre-election.

we are 15% higher and that is having a depressing ongoing effect. the way i look at it is like how monetary policymakers view it, there are effects from currency and now the dollar has, back, that is -- come back and that is encouraging and dudley said something similar. it is not something that will effect the number for current policy and will make policymakers more encouraged about the inflation outlook for next year. neighbor bank we have top -- neighbor bank is it there -- nejra: is there anything to convince the market, the dot plot will transpire? that thetner: i think hawks with more and more weekend inflation coming in, the hawks will have a harder time of convincing markets that further rate hikes are needed. one of thing that is driving the

it that the economy is growing beyond potential and the unemployment rate is below where the fed things full employment is. financial conditions are extraordinarily easy and that is a recipe for inflationary pressure. even though you are missing on inflation today, you believe inflation every pressures are coming and by continuing a very gradual, cautious pace, you are doing the market a favor by strengthening the cycle longer. the fed wants as long a runway as possible to continue raising rates but very gradually. that's a argument for maintaining that gradual path, we think i'm deposited in september to kick off the balance sheet, they return -- we innk in pausing september to kick off the balance sheet, they return.

we think it is hard to overcome. nejra: why is at the phillips curve not working as it should? that:: -- ellen zentner: is of the key question. from our own research, we have presented to fed policymakers, the phillips curve is alive and kicking. it is only alive for very small segments of inflation where we have seen a very big response from the labor and to prices. are notall segments enough to overcome other broad segments of inflation that are in secular downtrend. latestined in our research the long-term effects that say amazon is the world have been having on price, airbnbs, those are not a transitory. we would argue that the fed will contain to miss on 2% inflation goal. tom: you have been very good on

a dampened gdp. to pick 2 numbers. america or could we think about a 3.31% gdp run rate? ellen zentnerl i think -- ellen zentner: i think it is too soon to call that we could sustain 3%. we are above potential which is dominated by productivity and the demographics. we think potential at 1.5%. pickup in some sectors like investment that are going to be counteracted by slowdowns in others. the household sector, rolled disposable income has been slowing pretty dramatically there and they key is to have some tax relief next year out of -- we areess or else

going to have some impeding factors, a cyclical pick up against the slower consumer. i do not know we got out of the 2% growth range brent tom: ellen zentner, thank you so much. with us at the desk is david kotok. kotok, thes, david school of lower for longer. are we mentally prepared for the lower for longer you see? david kotok: we are getting there slowly and in some sectors as a bond market, but only some of them. my colleague said, there is a new jersey deal, a double leg credit ending sure credit, 15 years is the average life at 350 tax-free in new jersey. a 70% at almost up to one of the highest taxes states. tom: why is there such a gap? 160% of the it is

taxable treasury yields. that's a monster is gap, says of the chief, people are afraid to buy because interest rates are -- tom: it is critical. will is a calm and lower or is full faith and credit going to come up? david kotok: i think they will meet. comes down and we do not mention a repatriation deal that changes the cap x chart. tom: there is some optimism and we will, back. stays with usotok and can wait to talk equities. coming up, we will head back to frankfurt with a conversation from a bank of member. this is bloomberg. ♪
