trade war. it's interesting turkey is taking this step in light of the dirt of this type of issue. stocks finished lower on the day and so did the bloomberg commodity index. it suggests the day has a bit of a risk off tone here. here's the gl function in the bloomberg global commodities. we see the energy complex up top in green on above average volumes. the sellers had confidence in it. mixed.als are overall, we have weakness and oil is down about 2.6% on the day. bearish report from the department of energy. we have takenich a look at so many times over the last two years, also suggests oil may decline. is 10%, andue line

the fomc september meeting came out the couple of hours ago and is probably one of the most important things -- and probably one of the most numbers. things is the we saw a few ticks upwards and treasury yields. much insight to we get out of these indicating maybe the treasury selloff is not quite over? >> i think it was about what you expected after hearing what fed chair powell had to say. he was hawkish and then you had trump attacking the fed. there was concern that maybe the stock selloff plus this sort of push back may be slow down the fed. as resolved the fact that the fed will continue to go, but the question is how far above that neutral long-range are they willing to push things before they get too

restrictive. caroline: at the moment, trump is saying it is his biggest threat with china. brian: i think it is very clear. the september meeting was before all of the stock market plan toce, but the fed keep going. we will see a rate hike in december and if you more next year. if the stockis market continues to gyrate, if this will change. for now, it is clear it is all systems go. romaine: is it accurate to say the fed is tightening financial position or that going too far? brian: i think financial position remains accommodative. he said that encourages them to want to push into restrictive territory and see how far they can go. they do not know what the neutral rate is in this new, lower for longer world. they have said as much, they are not exactly sure where neutral is. that is why they change the language a little bit.

caroline: we have data surrounding the housing market today. what do you think the fed could see into that? is there an issue that the housing market is slowing down? brian: that is a great point. looking at long-term rates, we're moving up to 320 on the 10 year, that affects the 30 year mortgage and will affect the housing market. the u.s. big part of economy. all of this feeds into itself. the fed is willing to say that we have this path and we think we will stick to it, but we are willing to change it if things change, especially on the housing front. romaine: one area they highlighted as a potential risk was the leverage of market. there has been a lot of handwringing over that. when you look at what is going on in the high-yield market, is there more of a backstop their? -- there? brian: when the credit cycle

turns, there will be a bit of a fallout because moody said as much. rates are lower than they were back in 2008. covenants are worse across every metric than they were back in 2007. i think the fed knowledge and this is piggybacking off of the former fed chair who said in an interview last month that regulators should be sounding the alarm bells on this. it's pretty interesting to see the follow-through between the past and present of the federal reserve. what about any other pieces coming into perspective when you saw these minutes? generally, it seems to be nothing new. everything is still being as we expected so we see the market reaction. the dollar is remaining fairly high. brian: i thought that was interesting. i also thought the late steepening of the curve was interesting because if you interior, short rates

go up faster which would stint economic growth faster than expected previously. you would think long-term yields would come down to flatten. i think there is a bit of a question mark over this. earlier in the year, we saw a lot of fluctuation over the past few weeks. romaine: are you still hearing from people calling for a bottom? brian: a few. there was definitely some buy signals. barclays said the by target was to 95 on the tenure. it has been -- to buy 95 on the 295 on the ten year. over the past several sessions, we have seen it is fairly slow going. a lot of one basis point moves here. caroline: we can all get pretty excited. brian, great to have you on.

the most interesting and good thing about the data is about thousand --'s 30 30,000 consensus rates, none of those entities funded sovereigns. they have no rating from s&p or moody. so what we have built is a unique and new window into credit risk that did not exist before. caroline: so you are shining a light on the credit risk within the banks. what is the data telling you about where we are in the credit cycle? we have been talking about fed minutes, rates on the rise, what you starting to see in the 30,000 you look at? william: we slice and dice any different ways. risk, and geography,

purchases per minute at one point today. there have been some supplies concerns. some of the stores said they only got 40 to 50% of the product they expected to get. they will take time to play it self out. it is day one so hiccups are understandable. there are legitimate concerns expressed by the companies that they will not be able to meet supply over the next few months. caroline: thank you for your insight, david. he has been on the ground joining us from toronto. sticking with the pot theme, breaking news. constellation brands has been a company that got into this space making acquisitions. interestingly, we have reports from the washington journal, a ceo is to step down. the third in his family to lead his company. he will step aside as chief executive as of march the third. he will be interesting the constellation feature on one of his new tenants. we will keep this

particular in europe. it seem to be falling faster and faster. the united kingdom will have legal medical cannabis on november 1. that was dramatic to relative to six months ago. -- reason i think you will see people lined up outside of the stores. we need to do a lot more clinical research. that is what these large capitalized companies in canada are capable of doing now. you have companies like kennedy growth, that by the end of the year, -- canopy growth, that by the end of the year, will have like 15 human trials. they are focused on epilepsy, ptsd, and oncology. caroline: i'm interested in the fact that you have outperforming in canopy and tilray. how can these companies sustain the edge they have? got into the market first.

if we see more countries starting to legalize. -- would all of the greatest why would innovation remain in canada. vivian: they have such a head start in terms of the recent development they're doing with defensible ip around medical applications and r&d they are doing. they also have the scale. by virtue of the scale, they have been the first to be vetted and approved by government like germany. you can imagine as an entity goes to a new jurisdiction, saying we have been approved by canada and germany and have the capacity, that makes for a tough supporter. romaine: 140 companies go public in canada. a lot are listing in the u.s.. we have a lot of companies on the edge of it. do you sift through 100 plus companies and decide which one will be the winner out of all of these? discover do not

like the last leg up in the nasdaq was fueled by refugees from the shanghai. abigail: so money flows. >> money flows. there is a question of wisdom leaving a market that is finally getting undervalues toe market that is probably wildly expensive. nevertheless, one has to be shanghai that if the stops going down, what might be available in the next leg up in the nasdaq? abigail: it is interesting that in october we have the shanghai and the nasdaq going lower. guests whoother charted futures makes the point of how much exposure the nasdaq has to china in terms of not just the edr but also the technology companies. could you see a case where both of those will go lower? walter: absolutely. if the shanghai breaks 2540, down to 1480, i'm wondering whether the nasdaq and even make

a new high at that point. abigail: it looks like that could be a bear pendant -- pennant. speaking of oil. you have a great chart of oil. brent. this is what concerns me is not only this ugly, bearish, ominous ledge but at this high, brent hit 59% goals on the bullish consensus. the last time that were -- there were that many bowls was august 2013 at 107 dollars. at -- bulls at the top of a wedge is scary. abigail: two questions. first of all, could you educate us on what the convergence means and why that is bearish? also, the target this close to 40, isn't it? walter: yeah.

the first point is, every single time we have had this many bulls you get a multi-year decline. not a full market correction what a multi-your decline. why is this bearish, because of the support lines converging like a giant wedge of cheese. and up trend channel, -- in an up trend channel, the should be parallel. this is showing upward momentum is leaking out and that is why this is known as a bearish speaking pattern. you take up the support line. abigail: that is interesting because the chart of oil, the daily chart shows a bearish pennant that was confirmed on the equity indexes. . this was seem to support everything. walter: whenever equities break, crude oils get slammed. abigail: let's confirm this

picture or not confirm it with a look at bonds. this is interesting. this is traditionally what we would expect with risk off in oil. walter: coming off of this low, your traditional elliott a, b, c targets 2%. since this low last year, 3.32 has been my breakout point. we are knocking on that door and the door of this long-term downtrend line. you take this out, my next step up is 4.1%. my next step up above that is 5.4%. abigail: if that happens, that would suggest if stocks and oil goes lower, rising rates continue to be a pressure. otherwise you would not have investors selling stock. walter: absolutely. this is the nightmare for stocks. this line is decisively broken. bad news for equities. abigail: interesting. walter zimmerman, thank you so

so many times china was going to collapse. it has not. deal in thea great because it was one of the first companies -- countries to come out with a huge package of stimulus to kickstart the economy. conducted, yesly they are trying to wayne, but at the thing time, it is a country that has a huge population which has massive transition issues to deal with. and, where the necessary reduction of growth we are seeing by virtue of the size of the economy now has to be monitored and under control in order to tame any risk of conflict. that is how i see it. >> what about the tariffs? president trump has been talking about imposing tariffs against china and other parts of the

world. is that a plus for the global economy or not? >> i think that tariffs are not a good idea in general. if they impact trade to the point that trade no longer plays the key role as an engine for growth. years, we see trade growing faster than growth. it has been a driving engine for growth. we see lots of people taken out of poverty. insee the cost of living advanced economies including the u.s. nowhere by virtue of cheaper television sets or phones and so forth because they are made in countries where costs are much lower. there has been huge benefits. not only benefits, but huge benefits. fix it, dothat is

not break it. trade needs fixing. there is no question about it. president trump has put the finger right where it hurts. there are issues about the trade rules and organizations that need to be addressed and dealt with. caroline: that is the imf managing director speaking with david rubenstein. catch the full interview at 9:00 p.m. now for asian ad, china is getting a squeeze from president trump as trump announces a from the postal treaty that gives the u.s. discounted shipping rates. this is a very little-known treaty to many, but how big an issue with us before chinese retailers? shery: president trump have been looking at this issue for a while. to 192ficials had talked treaty officials telling them about their concerns since september.

apparently no changes were made. the problem is that the u.s. withdraws, it could be causing a situation where it is a free-for-all and other countries to join at their own rates developing. developing import countries receive better discounts. this means there will be winners and losers and losers could be the chinese exporters that bring the products here in the u.s. and we see favorable postal rates. the national association of manufacturers come out to say this is a good move. outdatedthis arrangement contributes significantly to the flood of counterfeit goods and dangerous drugs entering the country from china. this cost the u.s. postal service $170 million in 2017. romaine: what is the real issue here? if i buy something from someone in china, there is a general idea that it will be cheaper shipping to me than if i bought something from someone in

illinois. shery: this is why some exporters in the u.s. have complained about this system to officials,ding chinese shippers could get a discount of 40 to 60% when it comes to the pulse rate. they have been -- postal rate. they have been complaining about talkbut u.s. exporters about leaving the treaty altogether because it could bring about retaliation from these other countries. caroline: 92 -- 192 countries. shery: 100 92 countries on a treaty that is 144 years old. the concern is mostly for these chinese makers like alibaba and so forth. what the impact will be for their sales in the u.s.. ifing said that, the caveat, you look into alibaba financial statements when it comes to retail, revenue is only 5%. caroline: could it hurt even amazon?

how much of the goods that are being put on amazon are coming from china? who pays for all of that? shery: that is a good question. right now from what we are getting when it is just a headline, we see amazon could benefit from this move because they ship a lot within the u.s.. we are getting amazon shares up 7/10 of 1%. ups could also benefit as well as fedex. they could better compete with usps, although fedex has its own use today with some downgrades and funds going out. caroline: breaking it all down for us on the 144-year-old treaty. romaine: that's quite a run. caroline: sherry, thank you. homer's her on "bloomberg daybreak: australia" and a brick asia. -- and "bloomberg daybreak: asia". romaine: american express and pay paul report that the recordings earnings after the bell tomorrow -- paypal report their earnings after the bell
