performance of the market. it is snapping several days of a losing streak. you mention this earlier, we are seeing the dow higher. the nasdaq slipping into negative territory. energy is the big performer. opec underwhelming in terms of a boost in supply of output. versus what the market was seen. energy stock certainly benefiting from that. , some ofs interesting these stocks we have seen including the ipo's cooling off a little bit in the last couple of days. i do not know if it is going to last but definitely between energy and the tech stocks very day.a reversal type of >> absolutely. seeing consolidation after the games makes sense. particularly as we head into the

placing a 20% tariff on all of their cars coming into the united states. hilton here. automakers react on the new sending the trading day in the red. david, we know the eu is suggesting this could harm the number of exports they provide to the united states in terms of cars and car parts but can you explain what the respective tariffs are? what are we talking about here? >> when you look at the different trade deals particularly for cars, the european union is taxing cars at 10%. is saying hetrump wants to get rid of, the imbalance with china. it is two and a half from chinese cars made here.
3:37 pm
you see as unfair and one of the culprits of creating the trade imbalance have with some different trading partners. he is coming up with a threat for 20%. he is saying there tariffs and barriers have to go down or go away. his brashke always, opening bargaining chip. he wants them to move closer to where we are with the tariffs. >> i know this is all theoretical. nothing has gone into effect. do we have any case studies of what happens in these situations? if the european cars are going to be more expensive does it directly benefit u.s. carmakers? becaused question really most cars coming in our luxury vehicles. cadillac and lincoln, they have struggled for some time.
3:38 pm
not really because of any tariff on trade imbalance. they have not been competitive in terms of the products they have. they have been behind the market. they do not have enough of them and the brands have been tarnished. does it benefit? it would in a sense that they would have a better shot making up ground on the likes of mercedes, audi and bmw. on to a lot of competitive vehicles and it is a cost differential. look at what general motors did. adding a 25% tariff on to their roles and their growth has taken off. it could help in that sense. , for is something like 10% a lot of luxury buyers if they have $70,000 for a luxury car monday probably have $77,000.

3:40 pm
up a plant in mexico. if there isn't easier deal, bmw has a solution mercedes would not. you have that issue. there is also for them, some issues in commercial truck business that is probably weighing down on them a bit. they are not positioned as well for the north american market if this does love the tariffs. they would take a bigger hit than either of their german competitors. it feels based on everything you have said the eu has the better part to bargain. the president is trying to tackle this asymmetry. what is the net effect? >> if they go zero tariffs it is business as usual. luxury cars americans do love continuing to come in. the u.s. carmakers don't make

julie: the ecb will wind down bond buying program. discusses where
3:44 pm
this leaves investors. >> they are a view years apart. the ecb is where the that was a couple of years ago guiding towards the end of the bond buying. the ecb continues to guide. it is on track for the end of this year, with a trillion dollars of negative yielding debt it is unclear what the -- where the bonds will come from. if that is not even in negative liquidity mode yet. there is focus i think, too much focus around hi melanie more hikes will the fed do this year? and the flatness of the yield curve. the most important thing happening in the bond market is the reduction of the fed balance sheet. that is the big kahuna. the supply demand that is creating along with other large , there was aers
3:45 pm
story just this week they reduced. china and japan are becoming less regulated. it will provide a support for that part of the market. everything will continue to struggle and move higher. it is hard to imagine a scenario in which the 10 year goes back. quantitative tightening . you can go through the balance sheet, add in the european central bank, and get to the back half of this year. things get interesting. what are the implications from that chart. when the ecb stops buying in the fed balance sheet rolls off more aggressively? >> trying to figure out the direction of rates based on that
3:46 pm
supply and demand picture is not right. in economic terms you get to an equilibrium. some that comes out of reaching that equilibrium rather than supply and demand getting you there. on expectations with respect to the economy. not buying bonds anymore. if the european economy continues to slow down the implications are very different. the same applies for the fed as well. the u.s. economy accelerating into the second half. as long as it does that rates continue to rise as a result. if that is not the case things are going to revert. likes of the ecb was not in the game to economic conditions the german curve negative for six years? >> ecb is in the game.
3:47 pm
that is like saying if the sun isn't there. influencenks have an from a policy standpoint on where rates are. .cb is in play ecb wants to support the economy. i don't think you can take it out and arrived at a natural rate of interest rates. >> you are more worried about what is happening. >> yes. here is the reason why. you cannot discount with the ecb has done. it has created an artificial asset class. that ison i said because as the fed was guiding us around what did is going to do the markets were dismissing intended nearing to price things based on sentiment the fed is going to back off. that is what is happening in europe.
3:48 pm
that is death only the since you get that investors have generally discounted. once that sentiment is out or starts to move out you are going to see significant movement. , the rate ofs inflation and a long-term inflation. >> away from rates in europe and towards high-yield, if you think it is hard to justify, hypothetically speaking, what is happening with german rates. it is kind of in a bit of trouble. for the ecb, it is hard to justify where high-yield europe has been. >> i think about it totally
3:49 pm
differently. doubt coming out of the commodity cycle where you have and norma stimulus come centralo the market, banks are starting to remove policy. >> that was earlier today. you can catch the show in new york. carmack shares are at record high. abigail joins us with the details. we get this on this day of tariff talks. >> some of this should get a short squeeze.

if we hop into the bloomberg we can see perhaps they are moving into the right direction. we see is that in the first see this big dip. moreadam jonas, he has a underweight rating. the stock is up so much for no real reason. maybe this is the reason. changed hist stance. he will not change in town. he's a critical analyst in terms of these car stocks. with the tariffs, would this hurt or help? thereed-car inventory out , cars coming in from the eu, most of that would go to the carmakers.

3:54 pm
500 and the shanghai composite. shanghai shares are the cheapest ever relative to the united states. the reaction to the latest tariff threat was a $406 billion wipeout. the largest single day loss of value in more than two years. what about for the small cap? the stronger dollar, the idea that they are more insulated. the valuation divergence also at a record. this is 2000 versus the csi small-cap index. that is sinking deeper into a bear market. ,inally the momentum stocks what i'm showing you hear is the nasdaq relative strength index. you don't even need me to tell
3:55 pm
you anything further there. the nasdaq setting a new high this week moving further into overbought levels since june. belowve strength dropping 30. julie: the nasdaq has been hugging that level for a while. i am taking a look at copper. dr. copper. it is a reflection of perceptions of economic growth. with all of the trade noise, i was curious how it would be. if you're making the torture analogy. you have copper futures here in yellow. you have the net positions in copper futures in blue. the highest since january last week. we just got the data. you see a little bit of decline. pretty substantial as we have had a pullback in the prices.

4:04 pm
look at that! 5.6%.ining there's a deal for opec. so, you know, they're gonna production. so you might say, why has production expansion caused such big rally? well, people already thought an expansion might come but there's how come they can expend. they're still gaining a little bit. there's a limit. not going to be too much. and the fact that opec can come agreement at all, even if it's an expansion, suggests that together.is hanging that it's not in disarray. so you see those gains. gold basically doing nothing on the day. and those are today's market minutes. more on today's market action, let's bring in ramsey, guest, doug joining us from minneapolis. great to see you, doug! i always interests me when see something in someone's note that no one else is saying or not many other people are saying.
4:05 pm
you say there is a major liquidity squeeze going on right i have not heard much elsewhere. talk me through this. where you're seeing evidence of and what that means. >> well, you know, it's not so liquidity.g a lot of people talk about this redemption. it's more a notion of economic liquidity. basically monetary stimulation in relation to the economic growth. hadhe first quarter, we nominal mt growing. in at 4.7..p. coming that was the first quarter where m2 growthyear, slipped below year over year nominal g.d.p. growth, since late 2010. that's a big change. the idea is for years and years, wasrate of monetary growth far in excess of what was needed by the real economy. changed.has now so we think just the liquidity available for financial assets,
4:06 pm
principally stocks, has lessened here over just the last quarter. mean, that's the big turn here just in the last three, four months. >> so that tightening everyone talking about between rates and the runoff, starting to show up in the data. thing that's interesting about your portfolio, you're into tech but not so much the fangs. so why not the fangs, and where do you see opportunities still in tech? >> our quantitative work is largely done at the industry basis, so none of the groups in which those fangs ourently reside rate on attractive list. it's not like i have anything against those companies collectively.r i mean, the valuations certainly are high. groups justdustry don't qualify on our attractive list. what we have, for quite some we bought this group at about a 6% position in our long the middle of in 2016. it's semiconductor capital equipment. appreciation,n

4:16 pm
400,000 gapat mean, particularly if we throw in potential issues with the united states and with blockages from, i don't know, nigeria, venezuela and iran? >> let's step back. 900,000 inst about production. venezuela being about two-thirds of that. what they're saying today about doing on paper another million barrels is basically that into account. but they really can't take all that into account, because the capacity is in four countries, saudi arabia, the emirates, kuwait, and russia. when they talk about 600,000 in, that's kind of helping fill the void but not entirely. that's why you've seen the react the way they did today. we talked about production, exports and sanctions. arereally, what people looking at is the level of

that happens tomorrow, you've got lots of risk leading up to that. >> do you see any using of that bottleneck? >> eventually. probably not until the end of next year. you're talking about substantial bottlenecks. i mean, you would need to now.ve the bottleneck you'd need somewhere in the order of about 5,000 liquid to go down there, all at the same time, to relieve that bottleneck. happen.g to there's about a 10- to 15,000 estimated shortfall of labor. gonna say, we know all about the trucking shortfall. that adds to it. had this same time, we request from the trump administration to make this to get someder price relief. but how much wiggle room is there in the united states, you can't fix the supply problem? leverage on that end? the oil producers in the u.s., production? because we're at a record in the

4:33 pm
--ogan is hoping the economy is hoping that the economy being will win him votes. let's bring in michael, the founder. michael began his career in turkey and he joins us from london. us.t to have you with just explain how critical this president, the particularly since he's pushed for the country to transfer from a primary parliamentary system to a presidential. enormous for erdogan. he's been fighting for this for years and years. the presidency in 2014. but it was an unempowerred presidency, after many, many attempt, allcoup these sorts of things. he forced through constitutional changes last year. lose thz vote, he loses everything, because all the underwill be consolidated whoever wins this election.
4:34 pm
there's no plan b for erdogan. there always has been. but this time around, everything is at stake. the real chances that he would not win? >> well, i think it's very credible. can go to a second round. if this were a level playing field and there was a strong opposition candidate -- in this case, there seems o to be -- it very possible he could lose, because there's always voter fatigue, the economy is particularly well. but it's not a level playing field, as we know, because of the state of emergency and the control of the media. and still, it looks pretty razor thin. made a tactical gamble and i would say a mistake -- it may mistake, butbe a the threshold move to 50%. and he almost never gets 50%. he always gets in the 40's. so because of that 50% scenario, there is a where he could lose this. but we'll know soon enough. >> aside from the lack of level that youield described, is there any risk of
4:35 pm
voter fraud as well there? be -- if heg to does indeed win, is it going to as a credible result by the international community? >> well, it's less important international community thinks and much more important what the turkish population thinks, because in the end, if there is a win and there's no astability and protests, it's win. and there is a huge voice in turkey against erdogan. it may not be a level playing field, but there's a super has a opposition that voice and is not afraid of expressing that voice. becomes anw, if that issue, and that's one of the things that erdogan would have weigh -- if that was the only way he could win this election, you never know. maybe it's one of the things considered.e but there's risk associated with that, because you can't take it there would bet no public backlash against something like that. >> it's interesting. chart the path that
4:36 pm
turkey has taken over the last and years in particular, the political instability, the coup we saw a couple of years on the mediakdown and on opposition in particular, solve some oftion that uncertainty and the volatility either way? either w he wins and we see him hee a five-year term, or if doesn't win, we move forward on to something else and we sort of some of the uncertainty we've seen in recent times. >> i think you've hit it. way i see it. the a lot of people think there's going to be problems almost no matter what happens. of the --now, one erdogan has been so passionate about taking control this way. been driven by this goal, really since the protests the corruption allegations, all the way back in 2013. a constanten electoral battle. we've had so many elections and much volatility, because he has been extremely short-term in
4:37 pm
2013.inking, really since if he wins this and there's no backlash, he will take a five-year-- he has a view at least. there won't be a serious election for another five years matters and that should, in theory, change his thinking. strong casee's a for him to take a view that will to rebalancenomy and for turkish bonds perhaps to be amongst the best performing to year end. you don't hear that often. but i think there's a very credible scenario. if i were his advisor, even if i were a fan of his and an advisor his, that's exactly what i would advise, after he wins the until now, i up wouldn't, because he needs that short-term victory. ablet's say he wins, he's to consolidate the power he'd like to. he can finally start to take a horizon on domestic political matters. what, from a policy standpoint, does that actually look like? what will that allow him to do?
4:38 pm
>> absolutely. is thet important thing lifting of the state of emergency. he should have lifted this long ago, because the merits associated with it moved beyond the post-coup environment and more about securing this victory. and if he doesn't lift the state of emergency, it will be extremely telling. and those bears that think erdogan is brand damage permanently will prove vindicated. but if he lifts the state of aergency, that will send strong message that things are changing, because even if he judiciary,lot of the at least there will be a judicial process and you take some randomness out of the equation. but most importantly, the stimulus has to come to an end and the central bank has to be left alone to its own devices. the practical reality is that if a five-year view, and if he doesn't rebalance the economy, there will be a crisis that destroys him politically within that five-year period. so it will be against his to try and continue to
4:39 pm
stimulate all the way through. take thisdes not to approach that i'm mentioning and continues to micromanage the economy and try and defy global market expectations, i think there will be a crisis and i think there will end up being policy response. and what i mean by that is something that is an effort to turk's vulnerability, which is the corporate forcible way, in a that the market doesn't like. that is something that would be the road. it doesn't need to happen immediately. but if he doesn't rebalance, i it's almost inevitability. >> that's the crux of this now, michael, for investors. out, you know, markets don't like a future president that goes he's gonna the central bank and he's reiterated that again in the last 24 hours. what is the probability that he goes back to being what he was thehe beginning and he left central bank alone, allowed his
4:40 pm
economics team to deal with the equation part of the and the economy, and not be so hands-on and repressing them way that he'se been so recently? iswell, i mean, he already in control. and what has happened when push central banke, the has hiked significantly. but the brand damage associated saying i willly have more control over the central bank after the election done.ready but i think -- keep in mind that narrative, what it speaks of more than anything is the lack of quality advice that he's getting. he's surrounded, of course, by are extremely loyal and saying yes all the time. so my idea of what makes sense think, might not be comeucommunicated to him, becaue people are afraid to push him to make difficult decisions. fact that the central bank acted, i think, with his full acquiescence, even a preelection environment,
4:41 pm
currencye realized the weakness was a political liability. if turkey is going to rebalance, it needs much less consumption lot more exports. the only way you can force that consumption and improve confidence. you can't force exports to increase. so it still might not work. but that's the only credible way for turkey to get out of this, stop that stimulus that artificially distorts over and over and over. unsustainability of turkey has been very clear for a long time. now we're at a stage, though, where erdogan's interests, i think, could finally align with investors. question oft a whether he takes that policy choice. >> all right. michael, thank you so much. that election is sunday. hopefully we can check back in with you soon, once we know the whether there might be a second round. really valuable perspective the situation in turkey.
