6:04 pm
let's go to first word news with jenna dagenhart. jenna: thank you. as you just touched on china is imposing 25% tariffs on an additional $16 billion worth of u.s. imports starting august 23. it matches washington's latest move and widens the trade were between the two top economies. the revised chinese list covers items read -- items ranging from coal to medical to coal. there edging toward the point of no return. with the u.s. waging a trade were on several months, there's growing speculation that president trump could act to weaken the dollar. jp morgan economist says it is not the banks biggest case scenario but it can't dismiss the idea of a more individualist -- more policy. america'sollar once

6:06 pm
kathleen: thanks so much. a mixed u.s. close. a four-day rally of the s&p 500 hit a speed bump. the nasdaq rose for a seventh day. 21st century fox reached highest estimates after the bell. let's start with the regular session. that in itself is a story. su: it really is. we saw two different moves. we saw stocks struggle. let's go right to the market snapshot. as higher for tech. the story is oil which is down about 4% at the lowest. you're looking at after hours trading. size of the moves here are very interesting. tesla motors had talks at some point with softbank. , the rent-a-car company missing estimates and just getting pummeled.
6:07 pm
this is a much bigger story of how the economy, u.s. consumers running away from rent-a-car's. a lot more car sharing going on at the whole industry getting hit hard. asll not out of the woods analysts are saying. match group soaring. this is a company that has a lot of dating websites including tender. tinder is the main weight many people meet. the company is just going to investors in terms of signing up new subscribers. let's go into the bloomberg. more on tesla. bears it burned. the stock was so heavily shorted that even when it rebounds a bit it is hurting some of those who are taking positions against it. has come outws that the board confirmed it new last week about the proposal to take electric carmaker private
6:08 pm
and it adds credence to the idea that it was more than a spur of the moment when -- spur of the moment women. -- whim. a lot more will be coming out on that. at this point we saw the stock is down in the regular session. it is ill a big question about the future direction and capitalization. and a lot of speculation about what will happen there. oil took a big hit. some of us concerned about tariffs developments. plans to impose them on gasoline and other fuel. a lot of questions now. turmoil in the gasoline market. economists are saying it will not have an impact short-term but on the u.s. it will mean companies that have china alliances will offer and consumers are going to get hit hard. gasoline -- again you are
6:09 pm
looking at extended our trade. , oil down 4% as 4% as well. they are still down in extended trading. that indicates there is concern. usually we see a rebound after a sharp drop here in let's go into the bloomberg one more time. this is the rising tide. u.s. petroleum products to china are on the rise. we sent significant products out there. the fact that they could get ed.ed or terrorist -- tarriff those who wager on the commodity itself, look at the long-term victor of oil and you can he and oil chart if we can throw it up there. the direction that oil has been this week alone. it has been a wild ride. dropping significantly on the latest round of tariffs. it really is a major concern. we have mentioned a lot of oil ist's -- oil bets because it to hard to call what is going on
6:10 pm
with the trade tit-for-tat. after the bell it was all about fox and murdoch empire beating the street. su: forcing a little bit of weakness in the extended hours. we can put up that chart but it was a win on all accounts in terms of the numbers. they helped push earnings past wall street's estimates and as kathleen said, that validates a planned by walt disney to acquire the business or they came in at $.57 per share and beat the straight. a bigger chart of how the company has performed this year. 18% last quarter. that handily beat the estimate of 7.5 billion and with the disney deal looming, investors are not trading as much on ox results. you can see the chart is really trading on the big media that'll -- media battle as who will emerge as the big player. a big win for fox.
6:11 pm
thank you so much. su keenan with all that wall street action overnight. still ahead we will take a look at policy decisions and how they are playing out in the market. up next, as the trade for undermining xi jinping leadership. this is bloomberg. ♪
6:12 pm
6:13 pm
haidi: we are counting down to the sydney open just as futures are shaping up going into that thursday's session. he unchanged as we look at a beautiful reign of the sydney opera house. we are watching out for the china inflation numbers looking to take up from july. not strongly enough. that is anticipated to show any kind of protection and the
6:14 pm
burgeoning trade were. i was just going to say i think that unchanged opening it built in the aussie market is echoing what we saw on wall street today. kathleen, we talk about that evan flow of how much the -- the tradesions were tensions and today we see more of an impact. we had the return of the fire from beijing with cars, medical instruments among these u.s. products to be hit right china's latest retaliation. that $16 billion announced by washington and swiftly returned by beijing. 25% duties for $16 billion worth of imports. we're looking ahead to september when the u.s. is scheduled to slap duties on more s -- on more u.s. goods. gordon, i want to talk about the
6:15 pm
leadership in just a moment. we note that it has got a short runway because of the structural nature of the u.s. versus chinese economy. what else can china do once they run out of u.s. imports to penalize? gordon: they've been talking about going after u.s. companies in china. yesterday you had an extraordinary article in people's daily which was essentially extortion on apple. saying if apple wants to continue to make money in china it has got to share more with the chinese people and wouldn't it be a shame if there were -- if apple or the target of nationalist anger from people. clearly they are thinking about the weak links and they're looking at u.s. companies. this is very short-term thinking because the one thing that we have heard from chinese officials in these reports from the south china running post over the last several months is that chinese officials are concerned that if xi jinping
6:16 pm
goes after u.s. companies it will have a negative effect on foreign in the very near future. i don't think this is a good strategy for beijing. haidi: i'm wondering whether the rise of nationalism as we have seen against the likes of south korean companies and japanese countries from time to time might be the next logical move. one of the things we have talked about is how the summer of discontent. he is battling a plunge in inequities in the currency massivelending within a attempt, the vaccine scandal, a lot of criticism being heaped. that infamous essay, is he politically vulnerable at this point? gordon: everyone says that he isn't, but if you go back six weeks, no one was talking about xi jinping and hot water. the problem is when you are the absolute leader and you have taken responsibility for everything, when things don't go well, there is no body else to
6:17 pm
blame. he has disadvantaged a number of important layers in the chinese political system over the last 5.5 years. these guys are starting to say now we can get back. you have a leader who is overreaching and things are not going well. it is a very difficult story for xi jinping. i think if you go six months from now, he could very well be in the hot water people talk about. haidi: gordon, you have a leader in the u.s. looking at midterms and wanting wins out of that. and increased vulnerability in the chinese leader. what are the chances of having a policy misstep or and overstep in the way that this trade war plays out? gordon: i think it is virtually inevitable that both sides will overstep. from the u.s. perspective, there are critical issues. we talk about tariffs and trade worth, but really these tariffs are meant to be a remedy for the theft of hundreds of billions of
6:18 pm
dollars in u.s. intellectual property each year. something has to be done. if it is not tariffs it can be something even more drastic. from the u.s. point of view, we feel we have our backs against the wall. from china's point of view, the threat against apple shows desperation on the part of xi jinping so it is not a good story for china. mistakes the room for -- there's not much room for it. haidi: in fact, it seems that donald trump if anything, he is not getting worried about this g. poker player.od you look at your hand, you are not sure -- we know what each side has but he keeps doubling down. do the chinese expect him to back down? people inthink most chinese policy circles are really surprised at how much president trump has pursued this . when he was running as a candidate and even after he
6:19 pm
was elected, there was a feeling in beijing that they could manage trump. right now, i don't think any chinese policymaker -- i don't think any chinese political leader thinks that. it is not just eating unpredictable. the things he have done have disadvantaged china. is a change of four decades of american policy. kathleen: what's the old saying. whom the gods would destroy first they would elevate. it seems like xi jinping was the god who made himself to print leader. how ironic that months later, the trade war started by donald trump, that his leadership is the one being questioned more than donald trump's. midterm elections are not done and there is no guarantee that trump will suffer there. gordon: he very well may suffer. the party of the president normally suffers in the first midterm election. clearly the republicans will lose seats unless something dramatic happens. we have a regular political system. it has rules. people follow rules. in china, they don't have rules
6:20 pm
because xi jinping has de-institutionalized the communist party of the last six years. that is now going to work to his disadvantage. kathleen: how big of a problem is it for him that the currency has weakened so much? we are talking about the stock market being so weak. the things he is supposed to guarantee, a stable currency and growing economy. gordon: you have a currency which will break through seven. if you talk to people at the beginning of the year, people would have said you were crazy. you have a stock market, the worst performing indices in the world are now in china. the shanghai composite. when you look at the shenzhen they are even worse day-to-day in recent months. right now, xi jinping is going to be blamed for a lot of this. you can see how fragile the chinese economy is it it is not growing at the 6.7% rate. it is probably growing around 3%, which means -- we are growing faster than the chinese. you wrote at length on
6:21 pm
the coming collapse of china. a lot of people have been wrong so far calling the decline of china. is -- in terms of the pressure pot forming at the moment. you have economic slowdown, potential impact of the trade war and an attempt to restructure the very economy. is some kind of moment coming? gordon: the head of the central bank last october publicly said in the extraordinary comment that china, that wasn't careful about debt accumulation was going to have a minsky moment. it's one thing for gordon chang to say something like that but it's another for a senior government official to say it. if you look at the debt accumulation in china, some people are talking about eight a -- about eight debt to gdp
6:22 pm
ratio, china can it through because it controls all the players. the problem is there are so many of problems occurring at the same time including 100,000 people losing money in those peer-to-peer lending platforms. believe: it's hard it xi jinping doesn't come up with something they can do to head this off. who should we be waiting to hear from? so behind the scenes could be key to preventing a fall over the cliff? gordon: it's only xi jinping right now. he is the one who has been calling the tune. the thing i am worried about about going off the cliff is not just economics but china lashing out. we hear a lot more about taiwan. we hear a lot more about geopolitical issues. i'm not saying xi jinping is going to try to divert people's attention because of that, but nonetheless you see a little bit on these two tracks, the economy and geopolitics. they're going and disturbing

us. the 10-year note auction today. matching the record for may in 2009. in the face of everything that should be pushing bond yields why do they want to buy with enthusiasm? marvin: there's a man -- there is a demand for assets. despite all the hawkish miss around the world, their much higher than they have been but expectations were that they would be much higher by this time of year. kathleen: i want to take a look at the yield curve. rateows the fed funds versus the 10 to two year yield spread. you can see the white line, i can see it on my screen there is going along the bottom here it a 10 to two year treasury bend.
6:38 pm
it is a flattening yield curve here it is this something that is going to get worse as the white line keeps going higher? marvin: i do believe we will continue to see a flattening of the curve and we will be talking about an inversion in the curve within the foreseeable future. certainly the fed says this time is different, but in inverted curves does have implications for a broader economy that history has shown us to be aware of. incremental seen depth toward a full-blown trade war. this give us a pretty good they said to assume we will continue to see u.s. dollar strength given that we have had this return to save haven demand play out in demand? marvin: i think investors are signaling the better positioned got the u.s. is as we
6:39 pm
through these discussions. it has been interesting and that early on when we have had trade tensions there up you have seen dollar weakness but this most the 200 billion came to the forefront where we went you still 25% here in get a strong u.s. economy. ultimately is supporting that. between the better leverage as well as economic data, u.s. assets are in demand. haidi: how much further outside do you see? in the medium-term you will see dollar strength. in the long-term we will look at dollar weakness. if you throw into the potential impact for the economy from the trade war which is a short-term push up in inflation and impacts going forward. how does it inform your view when it comes to the greenback? marvin: absolutely.
6:40 pm
the u.s. is in a way, i am hesitant to a this but winning the trade war, economic data is positively influenced by movements that are occurring i-4 tariffs and sanctions start coming into place. so that is ultimately difficult to model. we are taking that as a little bit of a high in terms of looking at u.s. assets but further along the line, whether or not it impacts the head willingness or ability to hike rates as aggressively as it is talking about as well as smaller shifts but still significant when you think about what the boj might do for the first time after going to the ultra low rate before everybody else. kathleen: i have to follow up on that. last week i interviewed the vice minister of finance. yes somehat he thinks
6:41 pm
of this is a move. it is the end of negative rates. the first step to do an eventual pivot moving further away. even though the boj wants to billet as keeping -- easing policy because it makes these steps sustainable but maybe not that far in the future. marvin: i agree. i don't necessarily see it happening within a short period of time but they are doing a number of things with these policy announcements. one is an acknowledgment that what they're doing is not working. why continue with? it willssing everyone last a while. certainly come up market will push the 28 basis point and. it and for abandon the yen of the world, and jgb yields which haven't had a big impact on the other sovereign yields, does it start to impact?
6:42 pm
we have seen the jgb driving treasury yields to a certain degree. over the last month or month and have or so. kathleen: one trillion alone in u.s. bonds. i have to ask you about jamie dimon. 5% on the tenure. it is possible sometimes, but do you see that anything begins to be on the horizon when the tenure can barely break above? marvin: i think the flatter yield curve discussion we have, deterring inflation is different from runaway inflation. that wemr. dimon spew have seen over the last nine months to a year, it is a bold call. how tax reformn is -- how fiscal service will
6:43 pm
start to wayne. i don't know how we are so far above potential for the last year. haidi: i want to end with a quick word on equities. don't get too excited over the s&p come at this headline is always that we are within striking distance of a record high. if you break it down, just 4% of members on the s&p are at highs. very much shy of 200 and 80 stocks within 10% of all-time highs. that speaks to the lack of market breadth. you take a look at indicators, does it suggest to you that you are looking at a rally that is fragile? marvin: i think that what we have seen is the easy trade occur for the better part -- the faang stocks and technology. earnings have been a bit more of a challenge going forward. what we have seen is that when the fragility comes into the market, investors have pivoted
6:44 pm
to another sector. they are not necessarily abandoning risk but looking for cheaper alternatives in an expensive world. everyone has a different interpretation here they are not abandoning the asset class, which is an important thing to keep in mind as we go to the fall. thank you so much for that. i want to bring in some of these lines coming through from the reserve bank of new zealand. the press conference just can -- just can alluding -- just concluding. longer than usual. estimate is 3.5% since the kiwi dollar is close to their value. a big downside move. a super dovish statement from the the enzi -- from the b and bnz.-- the it pushed back the expected
6:45 pm
timing for that next move. for the ocr back almost a year and downgraded expectations of growth forecast there as well. marvin,o bring back your thoughts on this. are we looking at a sense of divergent monetary policy globally given that you have a number of asian central banks even the weakness in the currencies and a strengthened u.s. dollar playing a big part in that. really struggling to work out what the right policy is given this unprecedented growth environment. absolutely. and as much is what the central bank said come i think it's what they didn't say. certainly to me and i need to look into it more deeply when i leave here, trade tensions are all over the world. certainly, new zealand being so close to the bigger stories around asia, we have been able to avoid the economic part of
6:46 pm
