senior equity strategist. this is bloomberg. ♪

paul: i am paul allen in sydney. betty: the 10 year treasury yield piercing the present level for the first time in four years. from our we are joined by scott from wells fargo equity strategist. what you make of the 3%? >> there is a lot going on out there, but i do not think 3% is a line in the sand. i think the percent for me is just a reflection that after we had tax reform, we are going to have some fiscal stimulus here. we are going to see better gdp growth. are economists but it at a half percent better if we haven't had

tax reform, and also our cpi number is 2.4, and that is higher than it has been in the realistically in my mind, the market is adjusting 50 basis points or so to the new reality, which is better economic growth and higher inflation. betty: i you saying this is a knee-jerk reaction? scott: i think there is some worries and this feeds into those worries. there is the fact, i think the biggest risk out there is that the market is worried about inflation going up. the prices going up, and the fed is going to move and overreact and should this thing down and bring a recession and closer. that is one thing. and also when you hear in major-league industrial companies talking about the earnings, you could very well make an argument in terms of growth. you may have seen organic peak

earnings in 2017, meeting this year we have a big tax effect. if you call me in 2019 the s&p 500 earnings may grow 7%, that sounds reasonable to me. you have those considerations going on. there is some issues that i think these news items feet into. -- feed into. betty: and reaction becomes reality and investor sentiments becomes a real concern for the markets, and eventually the economy. i want to pull up this gtv chart we have here that shows you -- what has been interesting as the dollar is weakening in the face of rising treasury yields. within the last few weeks, that inverse correlation has been reversing. the dollar is now changing course.

that is going to have some real economic facts, no? scott: the weaker dollar is a talent for the s&p 500. tailwind, and you have people leaning towards a weaker dollar. yet people positioned that way. said, the as you dollar has rallied lately and it meets at the very least it is less of a tailwind. that is probably playing into something's today. i would argue since february 2, since we heard the u.s. employment report that covered january -- traders are running this market. if you look at last week, above 2700 and just above that in the s&p 500. yet the trendline of the january highs, and yet the 50 day moving average and the 100 day moving average -- all of that was a good short-term resistance. the market try to make it through there, and couldn't.

all around come at the 200 day moving average which we are approaching -- traders are in charge and that will continue to be the case. paul: we had a guest on yesterday who echoed what you are saying. 3% on the tenure is a sign that healthy.e in rude . and have caterpillar today talking about the first quarter being the high watermark. does that give you a sense of foreboding at all? scott: caterpillar is a good gauge of global economic growth. we have overweighted industrials for a couple of years, and they have done well, in part of the reason we like industrials is the global growth story was improving. outink there is people there, if you look at the global pmi's, some of these global surprise indices -- these are starting to roll over and i think people are taking money

off the table there. been industrial stocks, just like technology and certain consumer discretionary stocks have been up a lot. when a little panic hits the market, people are going to sell the big liquid winners. we still believe in the global growth story. is it going to excellent a lot from here? i don't think it will, buy will probably move forward. paul: and to follow on your point on text, we have amazon and facebook earnings coming up as well, and you think the recent issues with amazon and twitter and the spec with president trump -- facebook and the cambridge analytica scandal -- is that going to weigh in your opinion? scott: i think the story comes down to the fed and if will have inflation that hurt margins. i think those are the overriding

affects that will determine where the stock market goes between now and year end. a lot of these other things i look at as noise. certainly low on the priority list. is are going to be more relation of social media? in the sector maybe and maybe there should be. am not the guy to just that, but maybe there will be. but overall technology -- if you look at the two years, the consumer discretionary sector as well pack contains though stocks, the two years prior to the generator 26 record high -- technology was up 60%. these stocks surged. have given back a little but haven't given up a lot. -- when these larger issues start to affect the market, people are taking money off the table and the most liquid stocks were they are up a lot of money, and. 's qualified. -- and those stocks qualify.

betty: i would a snippet of an interview with the charles schwab ceo, if the bond markets that this. do you think all this same that will see a stampede of fixed income and schwab accounts or elsewhere? >> it depends on the pace of which they go and how far they go up. if they eat got as they do now, i do think you will see it. if you see rates jumped two or 300 basis points in the course of 90 days, you are going to have a bit of panic among some investors. betty: that sounds extreme. is that a possibility? scott: i guess it is not impossible, but i would say that is a very small possibility here. with the market is what we nervous about is that, the bond market larger for the last year and a half has been telling me that it believes the fed will

hike rates two more times this year, and maybe three or four times next year. and that is a headwind for growth. ande looking for 2.9% gdp, untilte hikes six times 2019, and in that environment it going to be a headwind for the economy. i don't think we going to see the economic growth or surgeon inflation that is going to justify that kind of rate hike or rates trading to those levels. i think that is a very low probability. betty: i would agree, thank you so much, scott wren. and remember, bloomberg users can interact with the charts with gtv . andh up on key analysis charts for future references. this is bloomberg. ♪
