1:09 am
do you expect more of the same? >> for fixed income markets, for once, we are in the passenger seat compared to the equities market. this is not like the taper tantrum we have seen a few years back. the equities market has been -- for travelers -- for treasuries, the short outlook is uncertain in the given momentum still favors the sellers. seeall, we are starting to some signs of a bottom there as well. negative correlations are reestablishing themselves after a week where technical selling sold every thing. everything has moved together. manus: john, i will bring you into this. we were trying to decide which chart captures everything. we were at a conference, and it was financial conditions.
1:10 am
look at this, financial conditions have tightened quite dramatically. this is the risk to the real america that your bank wednesday. -- that your bank lends to be her >> if we can't finance with the equity market, it is going to be a challenge in the united states. the u.s. is much more of a capital market institutional driven economy. europeans are more of a bank lending driven economy. it does tighten financial conditions. anna: what does that do to your world? andrea: financial conditions have tightened. they are still really easy. for us in credit markets, what we are looking at is the earnings picture, the growth in earnings and how they are developing. so far, things are looking ok. anna: does it make you worry
1:11 am
about how yield ends? risk, and we is a are monitoring it closely. evaluations in certain parts of the yield the market, how much compensation you get for the credit risk have more recently been expensive. move opens upcent for some opportunity. manus: the recent conversations we have had have been about the yield curve flattening. the is a mini explosion in market, repricing. the question is, everybody was talking about a flattening, here we are. theunderlying data is that market is repricing. is there more in that tank in the curve? john: possible, given that a lot of the more higher and yield --
1:12 am
if we look at real yields, they haven't been the main driver of the move. we see some further development on the infrastructure side or anything that improves the potential growth of the economy, that could drive motor term real yield. -- drive longer-term real yields. in terms of the near-term in the u.s. economy, moving treasury markets, moves in the s&p. you referenced what that has already done. to what extent does this influence the real economy for you? i will pick on to comments you made earlier. the budgetk about this week, and i have to believe any conversation about it will try to reinsurer investors that the long-term deficit outlook is really not as bad as many people
1:13 am
have predicted. , thereond infrastructure is a need for it, but how much can you actually put in place, given the rules and regulations with respect to permitting in the united states? this week, what we will find is that the threat of fiscal policy that really hit the bond market in the last few weeks is going to be diminished, at least in rhetoric. anna: why is the deficit soaring -- deficit story not so that? john: with the rhetoric, the administer she knows the market is very sensitive to those deficit estimates. i think they will play those down. trick about how much economic growth you got. jp morgan said they are rereading the amount of growth you get. i want to show you both a quote. this encapsulates everything that is going on.
1:14 am
what we do not have is a valuation floor, and that is causing angst in the market. the velocity of those moves is what is perhaps most unsettling for the market, and the speed with which we are careening towards 3%. if 3% a make or break number for you in the bond market? john: it is a psychological threshold. markets seem to like round numbers. [laughter] 3% is a psychological threshold there. two things worth mentioning, there is some argument to moves we have seen so far, but a lot of it has been driven by technical factors and also the concerns around deficit, increased issuance in treasuries market. that could change the potential amount-supply dynamic.
1:15 am
the question is, can we really afford high yields for a long time? that applies to the u.s., but also globally. manus: and every thing is priced off those yields. thank you so much for being with us. coming up, policy shift. the u.s. says it is ready for nuclear talks with north korea. could their relations be at the beginning of a thaw? anna: spending priorities. president trump is to urge spending on infrastructure, but will be budget gain traction? -- but will be budget gain traction? this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪

1:51 am
the oil market. the shale is the equivalent you -- is the equilibrium factor. if production will wrap up they perceive the oil prices are sustainable over time. manus: you back to some of the stories we have written, which is oil extraction in the u.s. is the highest since 1970. the export story from the united states of america, and in many ways this is why you see the likes of the head of opec going to the united states and trying to engage with the fractures. -- with the frackers. a ban was removed. this is a problem for the world. john: it is particularly a challenge for the middle east and opec. now, you have a non-opec producer other than russia it is significant in the marketplace and will fill in when prices are moving up. with respect to the price of oil.
1:52 am
anna: do have concerns about overheating, about the oil story running head of itself in shale? john: unfortunately, you do run into this problem. the market goes up when it was $90 or $100 a barrel. you get a huge overcapacity building, a lot of infrastructure, and then all of a sudden it cools off. there is volatility in that marketplace that creates a problem for lenders. we were at the think tank. let's talk a little bit about your. -- about europe. you walked away from the think tank with what perspective? john: the argument is the u.s. is way ahead of the ecb in terms of monetary policy.
1:53 am
where the u.s. is ahead, but the ecb i don't see have the pressure to catch up. your inflation numbers are more is at, so i don't see this lot of interest rate increases coming in the future for the ecb. they don't need to catch up with the u.s., because their inflation numbers are probably going to be less upper pressure that they have to face. anna: that keeps the hawks at be a bit. john: i think so. anna: the german economy does nicely and titans. -- and titans. -- and tightens. discussed, they are 26 nations and all we talk about is how the german economy is so strong. what happened to the other nations? that is where the moderation comes in. manus: we know you are the chief
1:54 am
economist at wells fargo and we haven't touched on brexit. give us a sense of america's conversation. you travel around a great deal. are they talking about brexit? we talk a lot about it. manus: from what perspective? john: that the europeans will work it out, that this is not a situation where there is a huge break. to us, the europeans always fudge. they make it work. they will compromise. they will still move forward. the u.s.he way we view economy and its relationships with europe in general, and also the relationship with the u.k. and continent itself. they will work things out. there won't be a hard brexit. it will be soft. anna: it sounds very pragmatic. john: for most americans, that is the way we look at europeans.
1:55 am
they are pragmatic, not dogmatic. they will work it out. manus: if you look at the world right now, do you think what has happened over the last 10 days is just a good -- a phrase was used, healthy. market correction was healthy. of athersys, and i'm reminded volatility is something that should be in the back of your mind. we have moved into a new paradigm in volatility, haven't we? john: yes. it is healthy in that we are looking at the economic fundamentals that are still solid for the market valuations. they have to be question. some of we doing with these investments in equities and some emerging market bonds? some high-yield bonds, what are the valuations there relative to what the market is telling us on the fundamental basis? anna: thank you very much for your time this morning.
