joins us strategist from boston. great to have you. today's markets have been pretty putting shaking off or to the side these trade tensions. is the worry that things are escalating and there don't even seem to be talks about talks on the table at the moment? >> it does worry me a little bit. there is an awful lot of complacency out there and a feeling that it some point donald trump is going to back off. with the midterm elections coming up, i think everybody agrees he is not going to go fully into a trade war but back off before the midterm elections. the fact that we are starting to get close to that in august, if he is escalating these tensions, people are going to go uh oh and it could cause some problems. that in thes us

first term of a president they make sacrifices before the first midterms so they can get what they want the next time around. it was interesting hearing the comments from wilbur ross overnight saying it's more painful for china to stick to its guns than to reform the position the u.s. is trying to put the man. as an investor, how do you what isow do you trade popular, large caps versus small caps? is that something that can or will we see pressure in other parts of the market as well? >> tensions continue to rise. it is not priced in that they will continue much past labor day in the u.s. however, one of the ways you can happeningook at what

in utility stocks. they have been rallying quite nicely. same thing with consumer staples. things did not do well once at all. they got oversold. they did not do well in the first 45 months. rally.arkets continue to the same thing for the health care stocks. here is a group that is traditionally defensive. drug pricing has become less of the defensive play, but it has had a real nice rally lately. and health care etf's have had a nice series of lows and highs. if you want to pull money out of some highfliers and put it into something defensive, it evendn't hurt you too bad if the market rallies. there is a spirited debate

here on whether the trade war's will hurt the u.s. more or china. you can find this in the g tv library. where is your money? >> i believe that is true. the problem is the chinese are willing to take more pain. the president still has to go up for reelection. so does congress. the chinese are set for the next five years. nowpresident of china is basically a lifelong leader. they have more control over their population. even though they will get hurt more, they can with stand the pain a little more. if it comes to a head like that, i think they are saying we will win because they will inflict more pain on china. we talk about wilbur ross.

president of china is playing with house money. we seem to be ratcheting up or in a way that i think the market is in pricing in as well as it should be. ratcheting upalso our bonds and yields, just looking at the u.s. 10 year flirting with 3%. how much further do you think this can go, especially with what happening with boj? >> 3.1% was the high we saw back in may. that's kind of the key level. the one thing is the positioning thatch for future traders rates shouldn't go a lot higher. however, as you mentioned and kathleen mentioned earlier, the yield on that is not only moving it's a sideways trend channel that has been in place for a year and a half. if the boj starts to lose control a little bit, that's not , but people are going to

start worrying about the bank of japan may be losing control. that's going to be a problem, i think, for global growth. the 10 year as -- 30s the 30 year as an year in whether investors will be pulling money out of the global market. --ember, bloomberg market bloomberg users can interact with charts featured on on keyrg tv, catch up analysis and save charts for future reference. this is bloomberg. ♪

important that they are not trying to take away the banking business. they are not turn to offer you a home loan or a transactional banking product. they are there to talk to corporate's and say here is 100 million dollars. give us our interest payments and pay us back when it is time. craig's thank you so much for that. rossrce secretary wilbur -- thank you so much for that. commerce secretary wilbur ross signaled there is pain ahead for china. both sides keep saying they are willing to talk. neither is backing down. >> no, that's right. ross madeecretary very explicit what has been mostly implied. was quite direct in his words

that the u.s. is ready and willing to go forward with this and that for the u.s., it will be merely a drop in the bucket. china is responding in kind, there is more than just an economic argument here. about theent talked dignity of the nation as well as the dignity of the people of china. ,here is willingness to talk but there is increasingly escalating rhetoric on both sides. one thing to keep in mind is that president trump has shown in the past that he is able to turn on a dime on these things should they make some progress in talks. he could be going from harsh rhetoric to full some praise as we saw with north korea. there is still the element that they could get to some place to

negotiate. it's interesting that donald trump still said xi jinping is a friend of his. the phrase was no pain, no gain. clearly, they might inflict a lot. >> their economy is different than the u.s.. they are warning this will trickle through the supply chain and raise prices for consumers. ,here is not a lot of sentiment at least in the administration, to back away. it is also the case in congress some enmity toward china and its trade practices. roomresident has some domestically to run with this until voters start feeling the pain from the cost. for more on trade, fred

joins us now from washington, d.c. he is a senior fellow and director emeritus at the peterson institute for international economics. thanks so much for joining us. one interesting thing here is that the u.s. is saying there is more pain ahead for china unless it changes its economic system. china isst as if trying to say hey, united states, you change your economic system and we can talk. it's almost laughable in a way. >> it's true there will be paying for china if the trade war heats up further. there is equal pain for the united states. the united states does not gain more than china. they lose about equally because china is retaliating dollar for dollar. pain andgoing to be

cost on both sides. the issue is how to get out of the spiral, how to negotiate .eductions in barriers it is certainly true that china -- important area errors barriers and trade distortion. there is a wide consensus in the united states that something needs to be done about it. aretrade war inter of hikes not the way to get that. on one side, reductions. on another side, retaliation. china has said they will retaliate, but really, every time the story comes up, it's always talk. why are we not seeing action yet? >> i think because there is not yet enough pain. there has been a lot of talk.

the amount of tariff increases so far has been mild. the u.s. has put tariffs on $36 billion of chinese trade in addition to steel, aluminum, and a couple other things. $14 million more coming shortly. but the big one, the additional $200 billion the president has threatened is still down the road. there's a lot to go through before that happens. the pain has not yet been great, but it is surely on the road unless something is done to head it off. a clear precedent with what happened last week between the united states and europe. in with anns came offer the president trump excepted. offered to start -- accepted. they offered to start eliminating tariffs. we have to see how that pans out

and how far it goes, but at least for now it has halted the slide to a trade war and put the momentum back in a positive direction, and that's all a good thing. my hope is that china will join the party. parallela will have a offer and be willing to talk impediments to technology transfer, intellectual property theft, subsidies and enterprises. if those are on the table, i think the administration would accept that and begin to move in a constructive direction like it is now doing with the europeans. fred, if you look at what happened with the eu as a possibility of setting up with other trade partners, is there any argument that china is very different? it's an ideological battle and a

?ifferent relationship >> that is of course true. the u.s. and europe are basically allies despite trump disruptions. the u.s. and china are locked in something of an existential global economic leadership. that has always historically led to conflict. on the other hand, the transactional or immediate implications are simpler. do we have a trade war or negotiations? it will be more difficult with china because it is a clash of balloons.economic way forave to find a those differences to exist in a global economy.
