7:03 am
it looks like the coalition might have control of both the lower and upper house so if he wants to and has the room to, there's no real check on him if the party's aligned together and behind that. was a prettyt strong signal as far as the polls. to wait and see with the results say about just how much power he is going to have when we find out what he has in the house. this have been weighing on the markets for months. the markets will have to wait and see. already, he has been quite conciliatory about the central bank's independence. shenanigans never far away in europe. migrationant deal on
7:04 am
in europe last week. it's still creating problems for her coalition. >> no surprise that angela merkel has been searching for a european solution and people in her coalition have been looking for a more german solution. i'm struck by how the polls seem to suggest she has the upper hand even in bavaria and a lot of this might be her coalition pull peopleing to to the right. that's more of what i'm getting. it's happening. she's having 11 our negotiations on a time. would be the consequences for the economies of europe? she keeps surviving these crises in one of the reasons this is significant, she's a

companieseing u.s. coming forward and saying, wait a second, this is going to hurt us. some have been very shy about criticizing the tro missed ration. she was on it a lot longer than others. seeing gm, bmw, hyundai, all come out in unison and criticize the president. we are seeing the potential for auto tariffs era is the big nuclear option. investors sent friday feels like a pivotal day in terms of what we get. if we are looking for another reason for perceived weakness, this is something here. about how 40%king of the cars at sells are imported from other countries,
7:07 am
80 or 85% of that is from nafta, this is becoming a mexico nafta issue. u.s. automakers probably see better prospects overseas and this is not something the prospect of retaliatory tariffs plus higher prices coming in, it's not something any way shape or form was help u.s. automakers at home or above -- or abroad. david: are we seeing it in pmi's? seeing automakers say the prices will go up. we haven't yet seen a trickle through the pretty much in unison, economists are out there saying it's going to hit every country and many companies and the question is who loses the most. you are a ceo, are you going to buy a big new plant right now?

7:19 am
whether we lost in the jobs are not. david: we may see some numbers? it may be too early because if you have five or six people laid off, given the rise of the labor force, that may not show up. we haven't had any major layoff announcements yet. david: thanks so much. welcome now, alex dryden. and stephen friedman. let me start with you stephen. are we starting to see a slowdown in capital investment and trade? or is it a matter of weathering it? we are hearing about in the anecdotal data but in the hard numbers it's hard to see an impact. we do have the tariffs
7:20 am
against china, if there's a retaliation and the rhetoric continues, then i think we will see it show up. possibly in the hiring data as possibly in the hiring data as well. julia: it's been very difficult, there has been a lot of rhetoric. possibly in the hiring data as well. julia: it's been very difficult, there has been a lot of rhetoric. do you think this week, will we start to see a real step up in terms of actual action? i think the difficulty from investment point of view is trying to work out where in you these tariffs might afford. we have very little detail. in terms of individual sectors, it's difficult. the analysis we've done on the tariffs we have available seems to us that particularly between china and the u.s., technology and industrials, they are the two sectors that stand out as
7:21 am
being in the crosshairs. that comes with a big copy out of we don't know the ones coming down the pipe. a chart that compares msci of u.s. versus china. the china market has dropped off as the u.s. has stayed up. is this a result of tariffs or something else? the selloff only really began in the last month or two. there is some concern with on shore chinese investors about the strength of the chinese economy. you are seeing the central bank of china making some changes which is suggesting there is some underlying weakness. i believe that's beginning to filter through. julia: we know they have been restricting credit to some of the larger funds. but we've also seen them cut the reserves requirement.
7:22 am
seems they are getting nervous. we are little bit softer here. this in terms of growth impact for the united states? we are talking about 0.2% of gdp, it's nothing. it's hard to see with the macro impact is at this stage. i agree that the first order impact is relatively small. the problem is it'll extrapolate late to what's going to have with others and that's where the concern comes in. we could have an issue with monetary policy. they say they will continue to put another chart. it shows the yield curve. david: the white is inverted with weight hikes -- with rate hikes.
7:23 am
once the likeliness that the fed may say, i'm nervous about trade, we may slow down rate hikes? the party heard the concerns there. there's a chance you get the september meeting. perhaps you see some slowing and jobs growth in manufacturing and they might have more pause. the problem is, once you pause, wendy start again? do you start again? markets might extrapolate a long pause. julia: despite everyone else thinking their little more hawkish with their projections as far as rates, if you bake in the fiscal stimulus, they are dovish. could you argue that they have price this in already? -- priced in this already? steven: it is possible that
7:24 am
trade -- julia: can we get back to the fundamentals? alex: that's a second half of the year story. at a tough first for sentiment has been battered. oil prices have been moving higher. i think the second half of the year, markets will focus on the fundamentals. you have potentially 30% earnings growth coming through. and an economy that may be growing by as much as 5% by some measures. that's a huge amount of growth. get back to those fundamentals and i think investors look happier. david: those are u.s. fundamentals. when you are u.s. investor looking at the u.s. -- international opportunities, the
7:25 am
question is what happens to the u.s. dollar? that is been hurting emerging markets and hurting overseas investments. we believe the dollars potentially in a 10 or 15 year bear market decline over the next decade or so. that's a big move. the recent spike has been coming through from widening interest rate differentials. the u.s. has a big trade deficit in a big budget deficit. they are big anchors. the dollar will continue to strengthen even the short term. i don't understand how suddenly fundamentals will kick back and when there is no sign that he the straight headlines are going away. what tips the balance here? does it matter more than noise? do we start to see when

element of the last report, that they put out - pushed out the which they feel they can get to the 25% margin, important that they do get to that, or close to it in the near future. have talked about this fact 3 a tting to 5,000 model week, and that being a factor, money and no longer burning cash to the extent they have. craig trudell thank you for the update. the mexican besso sliding, after the left wing win election, we discussion the details, this is bloomberg. retail.

the special counsel's russia investigation. he says he puts family and country first rather than the president. yes it says he will not be a punching bag as part of defense strategy. his activities being investigated. president trump's weekend of oil diplomacy offered mixed messages. oil prices sell -- fell after a trump tweet. follow-up statements from both the white house and the saudi's were more ambiguous. he says that two sides have talked but neither stated a specific target. the first time in decades, mexico has elected a left wing president. obradoranuel lopez delivered a crushing defeat. he has almost two address mexico's poverty -- yet promised to address mexico's poverty. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more

than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. the mexican peso taking a hit after the sweeping victory with investigators calling into question the future of the country's economy. just lay it out, what are we talking about now in terms of the scale of this victory as anticipated as it was? >> good morning. thank you for having me. in thetill very early next day after his victory. we are waiting to see what his plans are going to be. we have heard many things over the course of the campaign. yesterday wase that mexico's maine chamber came out at 9:00 to say they were
8:33 am
congratulating obrador and that they were planning to work with him to create an agenda of stability and trust. that was a good sign. as i said, we still have to see exactly what his policies will be and how they will affect business in mexico. julia: absolutely. thanks so much. joining us today from mexico city. david: still with us is j polaski. where are you on mexico and latin america? cup andu look at world today is a big day for mexico, the world cup is going to be in north america. that is the best sign of america's integration we have had. otherwise, it seems like we are going in separate directions. the u.s. is talking about bilateral deals with you -- with mexico and canada. no talk about expanding it
8:34 am
southward to the people in south america south of mexico. that try polar worldview is still robust in asia. it is trying to make its way in europe. and the americas, we are not seeing it. david: it is not just divergence in terms of trade with mexico, you look at these two regimes. donald trump pursuing anti-regulation and pro-tax and progrowth. we do not know what he is going to pursue. it seems like you will not be in line with president donald trump's approach. >> there is a prospect that he will be similar to trump and focusing on domestic opportunities. being more nationalistic and perhaps other politicians would have been. there is real opportunities in mexico. you look at the pace of the day. i do not think that is a particularly bad result. emerging-market assets and the peso is the most liquid
8:35 am
currency. it has been under pressure for the last several months. a fair bit is in the price. latin america has been the worst performing region of the world equity wise. a fair bit is in the price. when you think about mexico versus brazil, one of the things we have learned is to stay away from things that are upcoming. maybe the opportunity is to look into mexico. ash some reasonable policies he announces his program, i think mexican assets might be able to do pretty well. julia: he has talked about following the rule of law as far as the energy sector is concerned. that is where i want to focus next. particularly oil after the news flow. sliding today after the lows of the session. the pressure mounts to saudi arabia. london with the latest is julian lee, bloomberg oil strategist. great to have you with us. some incredible work over the
8:36 am
weekend saying he would reach some kind of agreement with the saudi's. the noises of the chins dropping over other opec members deafening. >> and then we got this walked thatfrom the white house said, there was a telephone conversation, but maybe actually there was not an agreement. volume tied to that agreement. this really does seem to be perhaps another example of the president going somewhat further in his tweets then he actually went in reality. julia: what we have found since the opec meeting is increased shortages. we bring and the canadian situation and obviously been as well and libya. the potential problems keep adding up. >> they do. as we look forward and we start to see the impact of sanctions
8:37 am
snapping back on iran, i think markets are going to look particularly tight. we are already seeing the first signs of saudi arabia starting to increase its output. all that is doing is offsetting declines outside of iran. you mentioned some of the most important once. we have venezuela where output is still sliding. there is no sign of that coming to an end. outage ofat's -- this the upgrader in canada. that looks like being out for the whole of july. we have lost roughly half of libyan production. if the situation does not improve, we could well lose more because they cannot export it because all the ports are closed. we are seeing nigeria and angola still not recovering from some of the problems that have beset them.
8:38 am
you start to look around and have to question how much their capacity there is to offset what the president wants. an almost complete halt of iranian export. julia: the market does not seem to be doing that. david: julian lee, thank you so much. jay, let me ask you two questions. what are you projecting in terms of oil over the next two months? how does that affect your investment approach? >> at the margin, let's start with where we have been. commodities have been the best-performing asset led by oil, which is up by 25% to date. money is in to make the energy sector. forward, the margin error is to the upside for oil prices as we just talked about. we went back, talking about
8:39 am
global growth, if global growth sustains and you have these shortages, the pressure for oil prices is probably higher. i like the energy sector. we like global oil spots. they offer a pretty high-yield. earnings growth is going to be robust. i think there continues to be outside their. energy for the second half of the year is one of our top sector pace. julia: final thoughts. it has been a tough half of the year to make money. how bastia make money in the second half -- how best do you make money in the second half? >> one has to pick their spots. i think europe could be interesting if we get through this next. of uncertainty -- this next period of uncertainty. i think there may be opportunities in the emerging-market debt sector. outflows have been dramatic. spreads have now widened.
8:40 am
positioning is a little bit better. we are going to have to get through the chop and you have to be selective in your spots. if you're looking over the next months, there are some opportunities in those spots as well. david: always good to have you with us. julia: let's give you a market check. we are 20 minutes out on that 9:00 a.m. check. lower fora percent the stoxx 600. we have been talking about the pressures in germany. the handover of asia. we have 13 month lows in china. you can take your pick in terms of liquidity withdraw and tightening over there. the tariffs of course. a huge week for tariffs. never mind the fourth of july holiday. cents ofower by seven 1%. s&p futures lower by 6/10 of 1% as well.

8:46 am
analyst as well as james hardiman the manager of equity research and wedbush -- from wedbush. where is the growth coming from? his domestic or international? >> i think it is some of both. i think the travel industry benefits from demographic trends. we have an increasing number of baby boomers that are retiring. when you retire and you have more time, you're more likely to travel. the travel industry also benefits from a growing millennial population. i think we all understand that millennials put more utility value, more doing things versus owning face. travel -- versus owning things. you have these big lumps in the population working towards you that are really helping drive numbers consistently higher. julia: come in here, bryant. .

n. toking at opportunities travel, china is clearly popping into one's mind. >> particularly important in china. 60% of the outbound travelers in china. that number is growing 89% a year. that is a big part of the chinese travel story. david: i think we have a chart, actually. i we can show how dramatically -- we joke dramatically how -- we can show outbound travel. is that around the world? how much is the united states specifically? >> a good chunk is the united states. there are other destinations including japan and south korea. the crew story is fascinating. there were 11 million cruisers out of 80 million outbound travelers. in china, 3 million cruisers.
8:48 am
china is way underpenetrated. julia: james, come in here on the underperformance of cruises as a tourism option. there is clearly a currency component. >> i think both of those things are true. typically, fuel prices and currency movements tend to be a natural hedge towards one another. what we have seen as of late is in addition to fuel prices going up, currency has moved against us. the dollar has strengthened. i think that has impacted the cruise lines to a degree. the bigger issue, the bigger barricade here is twofold. both related to supply. in the third quarter, caribbean supply is going to accelerate meaningfully. as we look to 2019, global capacity is going to accelerate meaningfully. the fear is that as more and more ships, online, pricing is going to deteriorate.
8:49 am
they will ultimately returned -- i think that is overstated to a degree. that is what people are concerned with. david: it is a very good point. a lot of us are looking at number of passengers as opposed to revenue much less profitability. we are seeing online come into this area with a vengeance in terms of looking things. and amazon, we have seen a deflationary effect. are we seeing that in the travel and leisure industry? >> less so. i think the role that amazon plays with respect to brick and mortar retailers, google plays that role as the major bogeyman to a lot of these travel companies. we have seen google encroach on their businesses to a degree. it is very much early days at this point. it is an issue that people are concerned with from a long-term perspective. i think the online travel guides
8:50 am
are healthy. julia: who benefits most from the growth we are seeing here whether it is having these kind of relationships particularly if we are looking at europe from the united states. and a booking.com is when you're focused on. >> looking is our favorite. their heritage is europe. it was a company that started in europe. they have a significant advantage there. a dynamic that is important to keep in mind is that domestically, it is a very consolidated market. you have hotel companies that wield a great amount of power. whereas in europe, it is much more fragmented. it is a much more favorable place for the online travel guide. david: finally, are we seeing consolidation in this industry? thehe most notable one is 2016 acquisition of star word by marriott.
