exclusive interview with the prime minister later on daybreak asia and the special session on friday 6:00 p.m., 8:00 watching in sydney. global news 24 hours a day, on air and at tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am paul allen. this is bloomberg. haidi: thank you so much. the turkish lira is higher as the president claims a new mandate to govern with sweeping extra powers, but his opponents are alleging fraud. they say the president has 53% closestote, 231 for his -- to 31% for his closest challenger. we are getting some lines from the republican people's party, ideology he won but saying it was not fair.
6:08 pm
you are seeing pictures of the aftermath. the leader of the people's party saying he conceded to mr. boardwalk -- mr. erdogan. a former istanbul bureau chief, how sweeping is this election victory? sweepingk it is more than was expected. there were two elections, one for the presidency, one elementary, and the opinion polls suggested the president roundnot win in the first of voting where you need 60%, and he did. the opinion polls suggested his alliance might not win a majority of parliament, and it did. so it was better than expected. that hisdrawback is own party did not win up you are majority. -- a fewer majority -- a pure
6:09 pm
majority. it was a pretty sweeping win otherwise. yvonne: what can't [please stand by] of policies can we expect? area ofhink that is the policy people will be looking at most closely is because before the election, the lira, there was a serious run, lost 20% of its value. the president resisted raising interest rates, then he kind of conceited to the central bank in the last few weeks and the central bank did raise interest rates, but the president said he would take her and direct control of interest rates. from everything we know about what he feels, they will not be going up anytime soon because he has consistently argued lower rates are needed for the economy, which is the opposite of what most economists say.
6:10 pm
haidi: is it fair to say this might be a knee-jerk reaction? is volatility expected? ben: i think there will be volatility. they usually is in turkey. the fact that the president has retained power and there will not be a second round election removes a sort of political uncertainty. there was a drag on the market. the initial lira rally we are seeing reflects that, but there are not a bunch of unknown that investors are going to start wondering about. i don't think it is very safe to say volatility in turkey is over. yvonne: we will leave it there, thank you for the update. our economics editor joining us from istanbul for the latest. let's bring in cumberland advisor's chief investment officer. he will be joining us as our guest post from new york. thank you for joining us. seems like we have the selection out of the way in turkey, should
6:11 pm
we expect erdogan to push interest rate cuts? how likely will easter the economy from traditional theories? we have not seen that from the president. seems like he has a different take. difficulty.s the official inflation rate is 12% or 13%. the unofficial estimates are double that. i have seen as high as in the 30's. when you are trying to deal with fighting inflation and trying to deal with your currency, both of which are in play in turkey, and you raise interest rates, which is the economic response reported, you get one outcome. now we have a political outcome. how this plays out with a higher
6:12 pm
inflation, double-digit inflation remains to be seen. what happens in turkey with economic slowdown, which is destined to come. yvonne: we have a chart that talks about the volatility we have seen in the turkish lira. we can bring it up. we see the one week of volatility hitting the high we have seen close to the financial crisis. do you think this election was positive when it comes to the lira? we have eliminated the uncertainty talking the markets. .avid: the chart is terrific when you expect there would be settling down now the political outcome is known? the answer is yes, but the political outcome in this construction,ical he has 15 years and now he has in other term. there are questions, but this is a powerful man in a country in a critical place.
6:13 pm
we are going to have more volatility. we are going to have interfaces and financial markets, interest rates in economic areas in turkey which are going to read down beyond the borders. that is not a good outlook. it is one that we would say great caution in investment in this region. you know at the same time we are hearing the turkish government is planning to slap additional tariffs and levies on 60% onports, up to additional liabilities because there is trade uncertainty that makes the waters even murkier. murky i guess in terms of the outlook? david: i think so. the trade on uncertainty that u.s.ow evolved from this policy of ratcheting up trade tension is now a global phenomenon.
6:14 pm
we see it in turkey, but we see it everywhere. it is ratcheting up. how far, how much? how are we going to play this .ut remains to be seen we are in the rhetoric stage, but we are going from a rhetoric trade war to an actual trade war, and that is worrisome to me. haidi: stay with us and be with us throughout the course of this hour. cumberland advisors, staying with us in new york. still ahead, opec and allies have a deal increase for production. saudi arabia will do what is necessary to keep the market in balance. trade: could trump's battles actually be a booby-trap for u.s. growth? this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪
6:17 pm
kong. you are watching daybreak australia. president trump continues to escalate the growing trade tensions, saying the united states is insisting all countries that have placed artificial barriers and tariffs on goods going into their country remove those or be met with more than reciprocity by the usa. trade must be fair. the trade battle is beginning to raise a risk of a slowdown in a vibrant american economy. more with ros krasny joining us from d.c. is this the week the trade war gets off after months of and splitting threats? ros: i think this is kind of the week where the rubber hits the road. president trump just set the table again with his tweet. on friday a big deadline where the u.s. is expected to put investment restrictions on china
6:18 pm
and to move ahead on so-called section 301 actions against china on what the u.s. considers to be intellectual property. those are really big moves, then beyond that, a week or so, july 6, will be the day when tariffs come into effect on $34 billion in chinese imports. then china's tit-for-tat comes after that and more u.s. tariffs. it seems the escalation is about to take wing here. said, kind of a threat to u.s. growth and the growth in other countries. haidi: is there any hope of either side pulling back from the abyss? ros: it seems like either side or if any side wanted to pull back from the others, it is china. there was an interesting story
6:19 pm
from the south china morning post that china does not want to target u.s. companies who have invested in their economy, plants there. in the trump administration there are free traders who would like to get senior chinese officials back to the u.s. for more talks aimed at kind of stopping the dispute from escalating but it is unclear if they have much of a foothold. privacy a battle of between the globalists, free traders and protectionists. seems like the protectionist navarro is theer ascendancy of a very kind of harsh report. his group this week said china's impact on the u.s. and the rest of the world, it kind of seems like that is the viewpoint that is prevailing for the time being.
6:20 pm
haidi: it doesn't seem to be negotiating at this point. thank you. ros krasny, our bloomberg news editor. let's get more. the cumberland advisors chairman is here, chief investment officer with us for this hour. you can have the rhetoric, the back and forth, but how difficult is it to make investment decisions? david: it is becoming more and more difficult if you are in the global structure. roz just distinguish between an impediment, a license, a rule, restriction, and the tariffs on it which is the price. the price impact alone have effects already. if you are in the middle of construction of constructing a pipeline in the permian, which is going on now, and you have got a repricing of deals, and
6:21 pm
you have the steel to complete the pride line coming from -- the pipeline coming from abroad and have a capital structure in place, your derailed. you do? you scramble to save, you don't make the next deal, you wait until it settles, and that is when the slowdown starts. effect just the tariff on price. when you can't bring in this deal or you have to have a different investment restriction, you double down. this is a multiplier effect. i don't think we have even seen the initial shocks you. -- yes. t. haidi: i want to throw up a chart that shows the mass exodus from asia. seeing the familiar refrain when it comes to the bond and fx markets. why are we seeing this bearishness when it comes to emerging markets, given so many
6:22 pm
have strong fundamental, to mystically driven dogma stories that -- domestically driven dartmouth stories? is this a strong dollar story? david: one is, especially if there has been borrowing by a country denominated in dollars or tied to dollars. the payback for the borrower becomes much worse. that is one issue. the second is if we have a at the of global growth same time we have internal domestic price pressures from tariffs, the emerging markets suffer the most. the united states is $20 trillion in economic size, most of it is domestic, most of it is services. we have a buffer. larger economies have those buffers. emerging and frontier markets suffer the most in a trade war
6:23 pm
scenario when it gets to shrinking or reducing the rate of growth. that is what is at risk here. yvonne: we see that risk between the u.s. and em with china, especially with the a share market. we are almost entering into a bear market. let me show you what we have seen. u.s. stocks set to outperform china for a 10th months now and the market thinks given the fact china's surplus with the u.s., beijing has more to lose on trade. you think markets are right to bet trump is going to win? david: i don't know how markets speculative or in a shorter term swing trade because the outcome is not who loses less or more. the framework is everybody loses. the goal of leveling tariffs, eliminating them, reducing or
6:24 pm
eliminating barriers is a noble one. how do you get to it? through negotiation or do you get to it with rhetoric, insult sometimes? with these techniques, we are getting used to the twitter war and something new to contend with in the financial markets worldwide. kotok ofavid cumberland advisors. this is bloomberg. ♪ mberg. ♪

6:35 pm
the reason to believe we could be over $70 for wti? adam: it has been a slow grind up there that big move we saw friday, it was smaller than expected, but it is enough to trigger an almost 5% move in crude which is huge on a single day. whether or not we are testing that $70 level at the moment and in future months, it relies on whether we get more of spread increases. this chart shows you the difference between wti and texas crude. it is very crucial at this point whether you get little bit of a buyout. whether it is bullish or not, it comes back to the broader picture about what the oil price means for global inflation at this point, in the cycle. inflationary pressures, starting to show in many economies that many people struggling with
6:36 pm
inflation, not as strong as they might like and central bankers continuing to talk to that theme. if oil prices go into the 70's and higher, then clearly inflation fundamentals upset that, that is good. ,vonne: thank you, adam haigh the global markets editor. don't forget to check out our library for the church adam showed on gtv -- the charts adam showed to us. still with us is david in new york. given how vague this communique was from the opec members, tell us about this one million barrels increase in production and what it could mean. it seems counterintuitive to the oil price reaction. david: i think you are right. adam the word, and it was sustained. therein lies the key. are we going to have sustained pricing above $70?
6:37 pm
are they going to maintain that, and the interplay with global restraint of growth, where you have china as an importer in the u.s. to become the largest -- we are a huge producer, exporter. if a deal could be made, especially in natural gas which the u.s. has in abundance, this whole playing field changes. we are not so sanguine about a higher oil price. forces are in place in our firm to keep a lid on this, so we don't see much above $70 and with any economic weakness, we may go lower. surprisingly lower if trade wars slow worldwide activity. haidi: did you think this agreement, were enough to meet the challenges opec faces, the second half with supply in iran and venezuela, also, we are

heading into the hurricane season in the gulf of mexico. david: hurricane season always in play, but that is a temporary and am in on. -- phenomenon. venezuela is a train wreck underway. .exico is another issue we have an election in mexico. politics to change in mexico. the interface between mexico and the united states in natural gas exports is a critical one, and so if we accelerate or ratchet up a trade war with mexico, has a lot of side effects in the energy patch including the ability for the u.s. to export through mexico to places in the pacific. i am not sure -- i am not sanguine about this. i think uncertainty as high. it is hard to predict. would not see much upward pressure in price unless this whole trade war thing settles down.
6:39 pm
it always strikes me as unusual that opec would not be setting policy with the same degree of caution that the what -- that the fed does. i want to show this chart which paints a picture of the nominal one million barrels a day, 700,000 barrels a day at the end of the day, that we have reached agreement over the weekend. does it make you reconsider any positions you have in energy portfolios? that is the of performer with australian stocks. that is largely on account of this rally in crude. does that derail similar trade globally? david: in our portfolios in the u.s. we were overweight the energy sector. we had a nice run as you did in australia. we have taken those profits and taken down those weights. once we see how the trade war issue plays out, we would reinstate them, especially focus
6:40 pm
on domestic u.s. exploration and on natural gas. in we want to focus here domestic orientation because we have this high uncertainty, the international arena. that is the decision we have made in our firm. haidi: does the u.s. shale industry strike you as being a swing producer? david: you would think so, and if we don't have impediments with the buildout of the infrastructure, the answer would be yes because we can expand largely and substitution between gas and oil can have an effect. if we slow down the expansion of energy infrastructure in the united states, and we talked about it earlier because we need pipelines. we need to build out. the trade tariff barriers and protectionism impair that progress.
6:41 pm
note, david, on a related what is your feeling what the u.s. dollar is going to do and how that feeds into the commodities part of the story? david: i looked at the interest rate picture. you look at the g10 and the treasury yields, the u.s. treasury yield is the highest in the g10. interest rates are driving foreign-exchange flows. we know that in major central banks like the european central bank, we have extended out this negative rates and borrowing we have a very modest, long-term, gradualist approach. that would suggest the dollar has not peaked yet. the crosscurrents are if we get economic slowdown from trade wars. this is difficult. i hate to be so gloomy on this show. yvonne: [laughter] david: it is a pleasure to be
