7:16 am
see change in the demographic patterns in the united states. unless you see long-term growth in labor force. growth will slow to 2%. you have effects of monetary tightening. goneed something else to wrong to put us into recession. money if we are borrowing as a government at the rate we are, at some point, those things don't come together well. whatever we produce, we will have to consume less. if we live beyond our means -- we will have to live beneath our means at some point in the future. we will gradually be impoverishing ourselves. taxes to finance retirements of people overseas. depressing is a long-term future. how do you make this investec

near or far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver. julie: this is bloomberg daybreak. let's take a look at the equities around the globe. s&p futures are little changed. we still have trade talk
7:30 am
percolating and are in the midst of earnings season but it's trailing off. the earth stoxx 600 is trading of 1%. there were disappointing numbers for hsbc but the automakers were doing better. the dax took a-- leg up. not clear exactly what caused the spikes but it is now higher by half of 1%. a different story in china where a selloff extended into a fourth straight session there. the trade tensions are appearing to have more of an effect in relation to some of the action pboc to stabilize chinese currency. we are keeping an eye on the turkish lira and turkish bonds. the turkish lira is falling today. the dollar is trading a little bit higher and the pound is the
7:31 am
lowest versus the dollar in the gentlenths after man in charge of brexit talked about not much optimism that a no deal rights it will not happen. crude oil is rising. with get to the turkish lira. it's moving, falling against the dollar for the six day. we go now to istanbul. talk to us about the movement in the currency and the treasury market in istanbul. been weakening for the sixth day now. also tanking are with the yield on the 10 year. it's trading near a record low. this is due to what has been happening between the turkish and american governments since last week. the u.s. government has imposed
7:32 am
sanctions on to turkish key on the continued detention of an american pastor it leads us to believe that what happened last wednesday may not be just a one off spike in the bilateral relationship. instead, it might be the beginning of further genitive actions from the government. also are other issues threatening ties between the two countries. julie: thank you for joining us from istanbul. david: now to iran, the u.s. is ramping up sanctions on iran. we go now to dubai. thanks for joining us. give us a sense of how this is being received within iran. how much of a threat is this to their economy?
7:33 am
>> as you mentioned, there are a number of sectors that will the impacted by these sanctions. it has to do with gold trading and it targets the auto industry which is dynamic and iran. -- in iran. it targets exports of pistachios . the businesss that from iran has already been, the mood has been darkened for weeks and months ahead of the sanctions. what iranians foresaw is the possibility with a new deal is to have foreign partners, companies coming in and and they want a boost through fresh money and fresh technology and this is now out of reach. that's a feeling that
7:34 am
businessmen and companies have been having. david: thank you so much. still with us is david kelly. talk about geopolitics overall. we talked about iran and turkey and do we want to throw in china? what will affect investors? what's going on between the saudi's and canada and even turkey are really small potatoes in the global economy. those relationships are not that important. what we are seeing is a lot of nationalistic chess moves around the world. equivalentopolitical of tariffs because it gets in the way of trade relationships. trade, theobal stronger the global economy will grow. these conflicts are real issues in all these cases that you would like to see us
7:35 am
working toward a resolution of these issues in a peaceful way rather than just issuing threats -- taking actions tit-for-tat actions. that will slow the global economy. you talked about a slowdown in the u.s. that will bubbly not be recession but is this a big risk to that scenario? >> it is potentially a risk if you go out 12 months from now. there's a good chance we could see a trade war cease-fire because the political pressure on washington from people who are getting hurt by this is intense from consumers who have to pay higher prices at walmart a imported goods and from bunch of manufactures and middlemen who are involved in international trading. we are too integrated to just shut the borders. the political pressure could
7:36 am
lead to a cease-fire but if it does not, that's a threat to the u.s. and the global economy. david: you mentioned china might be slowing down more than we appreciate. that's a big part of global growth because they have generated the overwhelming portion of global profits. is part of china's problem because of the pressure on president -- of president trump? on theirinese depend exports to the united states rather than vice versa. it is worrying people in eastern asia but that does not mean they will capitulate. the xi jinping does not have midterm elections to worry about. smaller imports to the united states but they also own $1 trillion worth of our treasuries. it is vitalegion,
7:37 am
to have a working relationship with china so we cannot just go to an all-out trade war with them because we will get hurt badly as well. just because it's hurting them, yes, it's also hurting us. being disguised by the sugar high of a lot of fiscal stimulus hitting the economy this year and it will fade next year and when it does, we need trade to work around the world. julie: let's take it back to where you put your money. will europe or other parts of the globe have less to lose for all of this trade back-and-forth than the united states question ?ar if you look at europe and japan, they have a massive trade surplus so they are vulnerable. the base case is that we will probably the escalate trade tensions in the long run. it just gets too costly.
7:38 am
tariffs are a bad idea. shakespeare said that mercy is a quality twice blessed and tariffs are twice cursed. it's such a bad idea. that will cause them to whether from political pressure. david: where should we be looking to put money right now? i think geographically, japan is extremely cheap will stop it has had long-term problems but there is a lot of cheap japanese companies. i think europe also has a lot of room to grow. the u.k. is trickier. they have a big current account deficit. probably lessts so china but more other emerging
7:39 am
markets that they have long-term growth prospects. it's all selling at a discount relative to the united states now. you've got these spectacular earnings now but i don't think earnings for the u.s. will be that strong from 2019 on that will be stronger overseas. david: thank you so much for being with us. julie: i want to talk about earnings from tyson foods. the company cut its full-year earnings forecast because of the effect of pork tariffs in particular but is coming out with earnings for the third quarter that eat analyst $1.50 versus $1.38. sales were a little light. islooks like the company forecasting for 2019 a bit above analyst estimates. risingthat seems to be -- raising the shares.

on jpmorgan as the next big transition where there are a couple of prominent women in line. there are obvious names that jump into the mix. what's notable about this pepsi transition is the lack of notability. david: no scandal. >> no one woke up and went what/ david: let's go to goldman stacks -- sex. jim esposito, the trading has been the hallmark of goldman but it has not done as well in recent days. that's not his strength. >> 2017 was one of the roughest and ithat business had led to the departure of the two cohead's. the good news for goldman sachs is the illness and this has been tracking a little better for the first two quarters of this year.

rescuenotable is to the is brookfield. david: they said they will take it for a 99 year list and take over the debt. a notably, they are paying huge portion of the rent in advance. instead of paying it over 99 years. kushner's done exactly needed. what went wrong here? it a function of the industry or mismanagement? >> it's sort of all of the above. it bought it at a high price and got to ambitious with their plans and then they could not manage the finances of it. it will be interesting to see what brookfield does with it. people say it's not easy to renovate this building.

brookfield is one of the least appreciated and most powerful investment firms in the entire world. the ceo is incredibly powerful and influential. david: they have done very well. thank you very much. coming up, the federal trade commission could kill a $42 billion deal that could trade the largest gas producer. we will discuss that coming up. if you have a bloomberg terminal you can watch us online and interact with us directly. this is bloomberg. ♪

industrial gas producer. it once a german company and a proxy to sell more assets before it approves the merger. joining us now is our opinion columnist. this deal was announced two months after the full come deal. the ftc is kind of late to the party here. >> people were not really expecting regulatory push back. this deal was announced in one of the concerns was about an issue with regulators. at this point, people were expecting this to go through and they already announced a number of divestitures and the ftc is saying that will not be enough. they want them to sell more assets. are the economics still attractive in this deal? david: do we have a sense of that? >> it depends how much more the
7:54 am
ftc wants. we don't know but we know they wanted to go beyond the limits that have been set which is about $4.3 billion of assets they were willing to divest. that andg to go beyond it will eat into the synergy number. the synergy number is based on consolidating operations with a german-based company and linde, part of the reason why the deal has apart in 2016, linde members on the strategic advisory board and were concerned about jobs in operation cuts. it's not easy to acquire these european companies and cut costs. though this is not the department of justice, we have seen an activist sort of -- iistration challenging
7:55 am

keep raising rates. jamie dimon thinks it should, saying "you better be prepared to deal with rates 5% or higher. it is a higher probability that most people think." we welcome michael kelly, pinebridge's head of multi-assets. people are focusing on the 5% number. a differentcus on number -- he think it should be at 4% already. is he right? is no question that 10-year is being distorted by the ecb and boj. overseas pressures are pulling it down. the old-fashioned yield curve was the market determined the tenure, central banks determined that short rate. you have a comparison of the two different views. and thehe central banks boj are really determining the 10 year. we saw that a week or two ago when the boj suggested they would lift the cap on the jgb 10
8:05 am
year. instantly, the u.s. 10 year went up. we know it will be higher. a lot of people are looking at .he2's t -- the 2's to 10's the are used to that being compass. and here you have the fed themselves putting out a new paper saying really look at this new portion of the yield curve, where the forward rates -- the three-month treasury will be 18 months from now versus where it is today. historically, they have been in 10's.ith the 2's to stilladitional one is weighed down by the ecb and boj. what is interesting about what mr. dimon says is as we go
8:06 am
through next year, the ecb will be taking their from -- their thumb off of pushing down rates. we will seeto 2020, where the 10 year should be. no one knows except for "higher." julie: how rocky will that transition be? we have not seen very sharp moves in the bond market, unless you go all the way back to the taper tantrum. you saw volatility earlier this year, but not like you saw back at that time. will they be difficult for people to navigate that, is there a good strategy to navigate that? michael: you are right. 2004, we saw a94 little hint of that earlier this year. but the bond market predicts it will not happen, as they did leading up to 1994, 2004. the obsession with the 2's to
8:07 am
10's. drop.depends on the back we think this is not a sugar high. that we have removed a lot of the downward, depressed, post crisis drags. with that out of the way, the pace ofrage, the global economy is not accelerating. that is one reason to believe it will withstand a higher 10 year. badlyybe not even due to for markets as you go through that. -- and maybe not even do too badly for markets as you go through that. you know it when you see it. david: i will put up a chart that shows -- the blue line what the fed rate is. the white is the 2's. the yellow is the 10's. question for you -- you sugar to the -- you referred to the
8:08 am
sugar high. as an investor, how do you figure out how much of this is because the ecb is sitting on the low end of the rates? market -- ao the vote by the market as to whether the president can sustain the present? a lot of economists say they cannot. michael: which is why this new yield curve, looking at 18 months out what the market believes the three-month will be, and says higher, which means this sugar high, if it is one, will go on, certainly longer than just 2018, go on at least another 18 months. and that the three-month will still be rising. there is an undertone that a stronger than we give it credit. after suppressing the global economy force along with this post crisis lulls.
8:09 am
julie: does that mean you get more aggressive? because the market is -- if you look at stocks, they do not seem to be rising in a high degree of risk. it is not as though there are enormous bargains out there, one would not think. do you bet on growth? do you go along cyclicals? ithael: i would not describe as more growth. we have been cut short of for some time. we are aggressively selective. we like u.s. small-cap stocks. people think it is a place to hide because of global trade pressures. but if you look at earnings, they are coming on strong, reflecting the strength of the u.s. economy. the revenue run rate is now higher than larger companies pay the earnings run rate is higher. that is pretty and -- that is pre- and after tax. so you believe that the growth will be more long lasting.

8:15 am
-- renegotiation on buses ballistic policy and how to contain iranian behavior. david: the president has said he would like to sit down with iran to have negotiations. he likes these one-on-ones. is there any indication the iranians want it? shawn: so far, no. a lot of the hardliners and others have said there is no benefit to negotiating with the united states now. they are likely to run as -- renege on promises. julie: bring it to the oil markets. the has been this perception on will have athat we decrease of supply from iran. is that how it will play out? michael c.: eventually it will. iran produces around 24 million barrels a day. in the last round of sanctions,
8:16 am
we saw sections, off by about one million barrels a day. the more bullish expectations are that we could see anywhere one million to 1.2 million barrels cut off, but probably not until closer to november 4, when the next round of sanctions start to come into place. questions about whether these different parties will receive waivers for exports of iranian oil. which oneslear to us will receive a waiver and how that is calculated -- whether they will get a significant reduction, which is what the state department is using to determine what you can have a waiver for. julie: if it goes down 2 million or 3 million barrels, what happens to that oil? michael c.: iran has a large of capacity.
8:17 am
they have some capacity on land, anywhere from 10 to 15 days. significant amount offshore. the important thing to keep in mind is there are other offsets. saudi arabia does have some spare capacity. it can continue to raise production levels. the other thing is the market is dynamic. if prices move higher, the u.s. pressure may not be as severe as if the prices stay lower. that is the other important take away from our thoughts and discussions, that this is yet another cook in the kitchen of trying to keep rises lower. david: the president has said he does not like multilateral trade deals. that may or may not work on trade and when it comes to sanctions, bilateral is not so effective. sense of they
8:18 am
extent to which these new sanctions come into play may be gone around by other countries? are a china and india problem. you see a lot of indian cooperation with iran. on the china side, they inked a large trade deal with iran, talking about a one belt road. you curtail chinese operators from continuing to buy uranium crude -- iranian crude oil. a lot of this is the president putting pressure on it. we have not -- a lot is happening behind the scene. as november 4 comes around, there will be continued pressure by the administration to get everyone on board. julie: in the meantime, as is

8:20 am
look at u.s. production, it is continuing to increase. it will continue to increase next year. the market balance is not as tight as what many had expected as we move into the summer. that is causing this skepticism. the other thing going on is the broader question about the macro economy. you look at the hedge fund positioning, not just in oil but other commodities. you look at commodity price activity outside of oil, prices are moving down. that is part of what we are seeing pressure from. julie: do you have a particular year and target? .ichael c.: mid-$70's prices will move slightly higher in the next quarter but basically stay range bound. the iran's sanctions issue is yet another thing where the u.s. government can play a role. the president has another

agenda item, which is the midterm elections. he does not want gasoline prices to get too high. shawn: absolutely. the way the current point looks now, anyone's baseline shows democrats have a clear advantage in the house to flip. the senate side is tougher. before the president looking at this, he does not want to give control to democrats in the house. the roadmap he has for the 2020 election could face obstacles if the house control -- is controlled by democrats. to talk with you guys. coming up, -- just weeks after warning about the effect of pork tariffs. this is bloomberg. ♪

8:35 am
that is what we are expecting going into this. we are seeing that reflected in the price action on the post earnings day in terms of how much shares rose or fell. you are not seeing a lot of enthusiasm built into the reaction. julie: what is interesting is going forward amidst the debate of peak earnings, there seems to be a divergence between analysts and investors. romaine: analysts remain bullish. as you look out over 12 months, you tend to get more optimism on the analyst side. with investors, there is an issue of sustainability, not only in revenue but in the broader economic picture. not a lot of investors are convinced. that is why you're seeing a stocksty, where certain are benefiting this earnings season, but in terms of a broader sense, you are not really seeing the same strength we would normally see. david: michael kelly, how much
8:36 am
of this earnings beat is because of tax cuts? if that is true, what happens next year, because he will not have the same delta -- you will not have the same delta. michael: the beats are on the top line, pretax. the issue is sustainability. we are in the camp it will be more sustainable. what lies ahead is another step up to growth. off --ed we are seeing consumers spend more confidently. we have not yet seen companies investing more confidently. if they do, it is another step up to global growth. the worry on that is all of these trade tensions make it unlikely that they do. what we are seeing its small business confidence continuing to go. the big surprise so far -- it is
8:37 am
still very early, but the big surprise so far is how confidence is holding in there, despite everything thrown at people. we think the big reason why is companies are really under investing since the crisis. they have not been minding the store. some point, when you see your neighbors being disrupted over and over again, and you know you have not been minding the store, you have to step up. that will be hard to shake. if they do that, you will see another length of growth, and it will be more sustainable. but sustainability is the big issue. the numbers are impressive. how long can they stay that way? we are in the longer cap. -- camp. julie: what about the
8:38 am
sustainability of consumer spending? if we see wage growth at this low but steady level, you think that could perhaps slow consumer spending. michael: we think you are right, but it is very impressive. restrainedng wages because there is a big remixing of the liverpool. -- labor pool. we are having a lot of higher, more price point people going out. if you have been in the labor , the wagesast a year are very impressive. they are growing much faster. even there, we like what we see. is escalation of wages slower than it has been in the past, but you can argue they are more sustainable.
8:39 am
we think it will be a longer cycle for the consumer, for the companies, for the investors than many would guess. david: how much would the earnings -- how much of the earnings beat is because of buybacks and dividends? is a huge factor. especially for some of the companies. playing as certainly big part of it, but at the same time, you cannot completely discount the underlying businesses, particularly for larger companies. -- i would like point out when you look at the numbers coming out of technology companies, they are actually very strong. capt of the focus on is -- ex is the focus on machinery. investors have warmed to that.

internal organic innovation to drive growth. that will be her legacy, that she drove innovation. this was a very innovative company. but to grow faster rates within mature industries, it may require them to put their balance sheet to work to make more aggressive acquisitions, particularly outside the u.s., where you will see faster growth in developing markets. julie: that is why it is interesting to me that they are ,romoting someone within seeming to see a steady as she goes strategy. it is sort of an endorsement of the strategy they have done for the past 10 years that has not necessarily made them as successful. >> it is interesting. this guy is an insider. he has been there more than 20 years. experience is overseas. they are thinking on

8:48 am
similarities. one thing about tobacco is it is with suchque industry high barriers to enter, given the high regulatory and legal risks and concerns in the investment community, that it has ironically worked to the tobacco companies' favor. by having little competition, it is able to raise prices on a regular basis. contrast with pepsico, it has a tough competitor in atlanta. having a tough time raising prices. it is resorting to lower packaging sizes. that raises unit prices. but it is a more difficult business to run than the existing tobacco companies. julie: sounds like the new pepsi ceo will have challenges. kenneth shea and craig giammona, thank you.
