across europe? michael: there is not any contagion at this point. this is felt to be something that will be disruptive to spain and the spanish economy, although not that much and not that long. there does not seem to be any contagion to any other country at this point. you have all of the eu countries telling the catalan government, we do not recognize your independence. spain is our only partner. you will not stay in the trade union if you were to break away. you would lose your currency. we will not deal with you. they would just let them go. it will be difficult for rajoy to immediately impose his will because the catalan government has so many powers reserved to itself. look at yeah, when you the financial response -- the euro is lower. it has been lower all day. and then what is going on in spanish assets now that the spanish markets are closed -- the white line shows a slight

increase in volume, but certainly below average volume for what you typically see for this etf. joe: there's no signs of financial contagions. no one recognizing the independence or anything like that. this is a very rich region of spain. from an economic standpoint, do we expect to see a slowdown or other things representing in the data of people being concerned? michael: yes, you have companies that have moved their corporate headquarters out of catalonia since the independence vote. and it has had a very depressing effect on the economy. it is unclear what they will get out of this. barclays is forecasting catalonia will go from plus 3% , swingingegative 2% five percentage points in one quarter. it will not hurt spain all that much.

nutshell, explaining your argument, how they are preventing the fed from hitting their target? >> sure. increasingnd, the use of computer technology over the entire economy is actually lowering the rate of inflation, has and will continue to by 50 basis points a year. that may not;, but that in a nutshell explains much of the shortfall we have seen in course -- in core inflation, not just over the last year, but the last decade. joe: there is something intuitive about this argument and other people have a similar argument. but i find it interesting that you have attempted to quantify say, byct, as you lowering it 50 basis point. what do you do specifically to lower the impact? >> sure. we have 1000 occupations based industries and we look at what

products they have. component ishat computers. computer technology services and so forth your it and then you just ask the question -- what if the people did not have them pewter-based technology -- computer-based technology? hypothetical. but if you strip it out, the inflation prices would be higher today, and it's because computer technology is increasing at an increasing pace and the prices of technology are falling at an exponential pace. able to idea you are look across sectors and across goods and assigned them a computer component -- >> yeah, so any industry, whether it is in auto manufacturer or utility firm or law firm, there are certain parts that are paid for by computers and that has risen

over time. as example, it takes eight cents of technology to produce one dollar of gdp 10 years ago. we now use $.20 of technology -- we know the price of technology, so the share has risen, and i think that has an underappreciated, stunning factor on the prices that companies need to charge. joe: so here is my question. inhave seen the decline prices. in theory, that should mean more money in consumer pocket and, at in theory, war money in consumer pockets should mean more spending. why don't we see that balancing out elsewhere in the economy? >> i think again, this effect is well beyond the things that they do around controlling for computers in certain components of the cpi. this is beyond amazon prime. i think what we are seeing, joe, is an higher elevated profit

margins. we can see the inflation return. i think it is a little bit lower than what the fed may even think about given this depressing effect on moore's law. joe: so, your assertion is the excess value captured by the ever cheapening technology, where it is showing up as in corporate profits? >> definitely. we certainly are seeing less price pressures on the consumer side. not to say all businesses have powerful pricing power. not many of them do. but in one since it is ironic because computer technology is all around us, and yet i think it has been somewhat overlooked. there is a limit to how much technologies can limit price pressures, but it definitely needs to get below 4% before we see meaningful price -- price joe: pressure.

interesting -- price pressure. joe: interesting. >> i think it is good. it is less slack in the economy. i would still like to see them a year from now at a higher level. where i think the growing risk is this time next year -- because i think the transitory prices on inflation may moderate. rise on corelittle inflation. if we are right on technology, the risk is a year from now the fed may be a little too aggressive. that sets up at dicey environment for 2019. got it. joseph davis, global chief economist at vanguard. thank you very much. this week has been all about learning spirit we have a chart on how tech products getting upgraded. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪

if you look at two-year yields, you can see that drop just before 10:00. right around 10:00 when that news came out. the basic idea is if you thought the alternative was taylor, this dovish futuree policy path. a continuation of the yellen regime. scarlet: some argued that no matter who becomes fed chair would be a continuation of the yellen regime. you have reports that the president favors jerome powell helping the dollar advance. the 3% gdp might be because it --might be the reason they got higher. the euro weakening. not much of a reaction to the breaking news on spain.

thes almost entirely due to reporting out of tech. a week ago we were lamenting not so great earnings. ge came out not so great results. that is all reversed this week and is largely due to tech. joe: here is a chart showing tech's share of the s&p 500 price versus tech etf contribution relative to the total. you see the good old days in the bubble where the s&p had a share in price but it was not contributing to earning. gina: tech is selling higher because earnings are going higher. this is a different situation than what we saw in 2000 when higher.aere moving

there is a lot of sentiment around tech that is in the negative. these tech stocks are going to high and contributing too much to index momentum. tech continues to rise. scarlet: tech is the biggest sector for the s&p 500. the s&p 500 bigger for the second week in a row. there are some indications the index could be over bought. someone i follow, she is saying that a signal flashed earlier this week and seems to be sticking with it. thinking it is going to cause a near-term pullback and refreshes the uptrend. you have another chart that suggests the s&p 500 is ever ball. -- is overbought.

gina: momentum reached very rarely seen levels this week. it reached above 80. joe: what does the rfid? -- rsi mean? gina: relative strength index. underlying indication of how strong this price momentum has been. the last time this happened, the market did punch above its trend channel and then it corrected. it corrected nearly to the bottom of the trend and that tale has been very consistent throughout this year. we are seeing that after we priceabove 80 on the rsi, keeps moving higher.

but i don't think it will be the end of the world in terms of the amount. growth,there is good just inflation is not high enough to say it is going to go out of control. gdp and i said 3% said around 245, 240, i would be shocked. wouldn't you? rates will only rise gradually, maybe two and level -- to a level of 2.1%. we still have to accommodate a monetary policy around the world and people will continue. >> ray dalio was on bloomberg earlier and he talked about the risk in treasuries.

the risk in the bond markets as well. it does to 40 makes sense for you on a 10 year? >> absolutely not. higher andare going are seeing -- when you look at some the actions around the world, if rates go higher come that money can go home and i am specifically thinking about japan. gdp.inking about 3% flattersitioned for a yield curve. can see how much that has spread between the short and long in. that is a big consensus trade right now. is that something you go with or go against? towardsnk we are moving a flatter curve.

banks are being less accommodative and are not tightening. they can be very self in their tapering and that i think is the key, is that it is quietly happening in the market, but when money starts to flow back to home, that is when things can change. the treasury market started to move and then we had a headline that the president was leaning towards jay powell to be the future fed chair and we reverse the move around u.s. gdp . could you make sense of that? puttingss people were probability that taylor would have been less of the status quo

, so i think that explains the reversal. i agree the numbers were pretty strong and they were something that should have been for higher yields. >> misses is what i see in front of me. regardless of the pharaohs are -- federal reserve, they are hawkish versus the market and you see that there 18 through 2020 as well. jay powell is in the next rate therefore, he will be more hawkish than the market expects anyway. >> think themark probability -- why? -- inhink the probability this respect, powell is getting means there will be

some continuation and in this it would continue to the run in the middle. if you look at the median, it is 2.2%. that is the policy rate. that is 30 basis points below the 10 year. either we get this flat yield curve or something and not happen. >> we will definitely move towards flattening. i think what the market is saying is we believe -- we prefer howl over taylor.
