5:11 pm
demand for the 30 year auctions. di: i would like to throw up a quick chart. it may answer if there is more of a correction to come. this is 2851. this extraordinary streak of calm has come to an end. levels that we have come from, is there further to go in a market that is recalibrating itself? ian: that is the question we are all asking ourselves. will there be a more significant correction in the equity market? when you see the fed tightening monetary policy come it is not good for risk assets. and in range bull market correction is potentially at hand at this point. it will be a telling friday's
5:12 pm
session in the u.s. have: you would have to nerves of steel to do what some of the strategists are suggesting. today's session would put some of those people along the sidelines now. ian: certainly the move on last monday wouldis seem like a classic buying opportunity. we have seen it occur again where rates were grinding higher that had a lot of people on the sidelines. kathleen: the new fed chair has brought to the fore the question of the federal reserve. first it was greenspan and then bernanke. will it be jay powell that will rush to the rescue of the stock market? we had an exclusive interview earlier. characterizes he the stock market selloff so far. >> the implications for the
5:13 pm
outlook are marginal. we probably will not change our thinking about the economic outlook. if it was to go much further and be much more persistent, it could start to affect household and business spending behavior and that could influence the economic outlook. so far, small potatoes. kathleen: small potatoes. european central bank officials making the same kind of remarks. and yet, i also asked bill dudley from 2015 into 2016, the fed did do three rate hikes. of volatility including the chinese stock market selloff. think that if something really extreme happened that could happen. ian: i think dudley makes a very good point.

withholding his consent to proceed along and senate leaders are reluctant to give him a vote on an amendment that he wants to propose which would keep the existing limits in place so they do not open up the floor to a free-for-all. when they have a deal from the leadership of both parties, that is pretty much ready to go and likely would pass by a comfortable margin in the senate. -- he is oned paul person that can hold it up. my understanding is that it can be held up until midnight. at midnight, if there is no vote, there will be a government shutdown. is that correct? and then the senate has to vote. the clock would reset at 1:00 a.m. it could push it into that territory and then the senate could vote but it would till take the house for five hours to

5:38 pm
the nature of this pullback, this correction? >> no, it didn't. as you know, we are bullish on fundamentals but it is a technically driven selling that is going on, and they know it is painful. our view is that this could happen, and there's a lot of players levered into the notion that bond yields are going to stay low. as they come up, it is increasing the correlation between bonds and stocks in a negative way and is causing them to look at their books. you mentioned earlier that selling was across the board. is not fundamental investors here, it is people literally selling their books of equities to deleverage their positions. in this environment it is hard oruse, even fundamental
5:39 pm
technical analysis to pick a bottom. right now we are trading at under 17 times, we have to market at 16. so on that fundamental it looks good, but you can't use valuation to pick an entry point. on the technical side, you can look at averages and people point to the 200 based just a couple of percent away, but that usually is a measure when you have got real players moving money and are affected by the psychology of lines like that. view is aat i would more technical selling that is almost machine driven. it is almost like slow-motion is a long1987, which time ago now, but that is where i got my start in the business and i remember that day. it is a slow-motion replay
5:40 pm
there, and i think you have got to be patient, and we have been telling people to buy into this. anotherobably do somewhere in here, but i think frankly, lower levels if we get here. we are waiting to see if the bond market can stabilize, and the it does, i think levering will start to slow down and markets should be poised to regroup. that is how we are viewing it. is that what you are telling your clients, to sit still for a while and try to write through this -- ride through this? >> absolutely. the fundamentals are quite attractive in stocks right now, -- if you look, our clients over the next one year, i think
5:41 pm
it certainly will be at higher levels. that it ever certain in the stock market though. kathleen: first of all, technical levels, what is the next level you are looking at the 10 year note yield? are you looking -- is it going to 3%? when you are talking to your clients are team, technical levels, what should we be watching? get theiroping would gradually, but it is going so quickly it is causes losses and bonds and triggering these programs on the equity side. three or three and a quarter, if it happens quickly, it will get more equity selling. onlye equity side we are but would be the 200 day,
5:42 pm
again, i don't necessarily see a technical level here as make that is as important for equities. kathleen: think you for sharing your thoughts, it seems a bit reassuring, but we could go further on the downside. australia's reserve bank governor speaking and he said he feels no pressure to follow other global central banks. more on this -- what a time to be a central bank had talking about anything because they are on the spot in so many ways. was speaking of the long-term potential in sydney, and is often asked with other global central banks raising rates, if he feels pressured to do the same, and the short answer is no, he doesn't. australia didn't cap rates with the rest of the world after the global financial crisis, mainly thanks to the commodity super cycle that was enjoyed in
5:43 pm
australia, so by the same argument, rates do not need to go up. is that there is a common element in world wide rate moves that isn't necessary, so he isn't feeling pressure. let's listen to what he had to say. movement in interest rates will be up, not down. this is how things play out, the likely timing will depend upon the extent and pace progress that we make. what is he looking for? >> there's still some way to go before we had full employment, he sees wages up as well, but inflation is the key as well. he says that it is going to be below that midpoint for the next couple of years, he says if it hits that midpoint at some point, it will be appropriate for interest rates in australia
