for stock market headaches. sarah: he has a new scapegoat. i would not say the selloff is because of democrats and the investigation. i will say ahead of the midterm elections, i spoke with investors on various scenarios. they said there is something alled tweet risk, if you had split congress, he could have more headlines, so no, this won't affect the stock market long-term. it is not a single reason for the selloff. we are seeing it exacerbated in the tech space, but we could expect more volatility going forward. haidi: i am sure we could bring up a chart showing a tweet index. our cross asset reporter taking a look at the selloff overnight. resuming using the oil patch, the bearishness there, saudi arabia said opec and allies

5:10 pm
something we should have on the bloomberg. we have charts for everything. we talk about opec, they did manage to pull up prices for a little bit and a little while. does this signal the fact opec is losing its touch? it is also interesting to look at what the russians said. the saudi's said one million barrels, they would take half of it going forward. 500,000 barrels a day. what you heard was the other middle eastern countries saying there was consensus to do this. the russians were saying we look at production cuts. of and somewhat necessarily they are ready to cut output that much. you saw the outputs question whether the opec, non-opec agreement is feasible going forward.

5:15 pm
sydney. shery: i am shery ahn in new york. asian stocks with a rough start after the latest falls on wall street. joining me is lee zan saunders, from charles schwab. great to have you with us. it was surprising to see volatility in october. that is -- it was not surprising to see volatility in october, but there is some even after the midterms are gone. is this telling us something about the future of the bull market? it has a lot to do with broader conditions not the least being tighter monetary policy in the united states, tighter financial conditions and less liquidity from global central banks. our theme coming into 2018 was we were moving into a new, volatility. of volatility
5:16 pm
one important thing to remind investors is the last couple of years, lack of volatility was the exception, not the rule, moving back into an environment where you see normal exception, not the rule, moving back into an environment where you see normal marketability. that is a function of the liquidity tied now moving out. we have had 10 years of liquidity tide coming in at the opposite is happening now. let's take a look at financial conditions. it is the gtv chart on the bloomberg showing the that funds rate continuing to rise. financial conditions in the u.s., here and global markets starting to fall. this at a time of slowing global economic growth as well. how vulnerable are markets to headline risk? i think we may look back at this time and see there was a sufficient number of global markets already approaching or in recession we may end up declaring some version of a recession. for now the u.s. can avoid one, and the risk of a u.s. recession coming sooner than what the expenses -- the consensus
5:17 pm
expects, the biggest risk factor in deciding factor will probably be what happens with trade. if trade were to worsen from here, the additional tariffs be applied on u.s. companies importing from china, that can be the factor that will meet in -- shortened the recession. it is a meaningful risk as we look at 2019. haidi: everyone is helping we will get some better future. draw your attention to this chart looking at the level of economic surprise we are getting in the u.s. versus the rest of the world. we have had a series of pmi disappointments and others asia andarticularly in europe as well. take a look at the white line which is the u.s., it is the only region that is still alone in delivering upside surprises. does that tell us fundamentally there is further upside to go
5:18 pm
because the economy is a big story despite the fact we are seeing the fed doing its thing steady as she goes? >> one of the problems is that index looks at hard and soft economic data. where you see the strength is in the softer economic data, the surveyed competence-based data. we see it in strong consumer confidence measures but there is ,eakness under the surface especially those that are more forward-looking in nature. that is one of the things the market is reflective because although in level terms the u.s. economic data looks quite good, its rate of change that tends to matter more for markets, that subtle weakness we are turning to see in the forward-looking indicators is reflected in the higher volatility and equity market. the stock market has an ability to sniff out inflection point before they actually happen in
5:19 pm
the actual level of economic data. that is why i am fond of when comparing fundament is to the stock market, reminding investors better or worse tends to matter better than good or bad. we tend to focus on is the data good or bad as opposed to good, yes. is it getting worse or better? that is the difference the stock market picks up. away, whilehe take we are in the middle of this selloff, he said the markets are everything awful or everything is wonderful. buttry to find a cautious opportunistic position in between that, would you be seeing opportunities at the moment? be,t is possible we could at least in the case of the united states, a secular bull market. the risk of a cyclical serious 10%ection, we have had two directions so far, but we could
5:20 pm
get a cyclical bear market even if it is in the context of an ongoing secular bull market. to your point, in the short-term use -- you tend to see all or nothing moves in the market. also the fact we are much more machine driven in terms of minute to minute trading, algorithms have more power in terms of short-term moves in the market so you can get these moves that are not supported by fundamentals but represent a characteristic of the market investors have to contend with. one of our messages is for many investors to say, we should shorten time horizons, take a trading approach in order to play the same game. we say the opposite, that you will not win that game and if anything given the short-term gyrations driven by algorithms, individual investors should time horizon because over a reasonable time horizon, fundamentals and prices will be connected.
5:21 pm
what about inflation, because we see debate on pressures. we have food tumbling but at the same time more tariffs on chinese goods? what is your outlook? risk than withe inflation's. we are seeing the tightness in the labor market move to higher wage growth, and that has legs. we are shutting to see traditional inflation pressure. you have oil prices down, so that keeps headline measures down but for measures are affected by the ripple effects from tighter later -- labor markets but the tariffs effect. historically they have caused weaker economic growth and higher inflation. the near-term risk associated with trade is it contributes to a rolling over economic growth but near-term pickup in inflation which means if the fed is going to have to continue to tighten into an environment
5:22 pm
where economic growth is slowing down, that is another reason to expect more volatility. haidi: thank you so much for your time. charles schwab chief investment strategist and senior vice president coming to us out of hong kong. southbank seeks to raise $21 billion by taking their mobile unit public. we are telling you what to watch out for in the next mega ipo. this is bloomberg. ♪

5:25 pm
ramy: you mentioned the top number, $21.1 billion. in terms of what this actually would get you, basically it would get you 1.6 billion shares if you decided to buy all of them. that is ¥1500 apiece. that is a third of the business in the ipo if it went public at this indicated price. the new name would be a change, called softbank corporation once it starts trading and would .hange december 19 taking a look at five weeks from now. also the ipo price range will be set in the next few weeks you are interested in getting in on this action, it is november 30 and the final price is december 10. if the idea of buying into the telecom cash cow unit isn't of initial interest, look at the dividend payout ratio. , 85%.t that number
5:26 pm
this is a high payout to pull in the investors great you can see docomo, that is 50% and kddi, 38%, but this is major ventilation. -- temptation. at thelmost a 5% yield indicated ipo price great we talk about yields in japan, do we ever talk about 5%? this is really the land of negative interest rates. in terms of what he wants to do with this, he wants to shift away from his telecoms business to get into the technology space, not just japan's but global. he made good bets on alibaba, yahoo! and made his vision fund. it all depends whether he can actually pull off this indicated price because it is a whopper and would be a record. shery: he needs all that yield to attract investors especially
5:27 pm
when you see the government pressuring the mobile carriers to cut their bills. ramy: you get to the heart of it. in august the cabinet secretary said, we think the price is should be 40% cheaper. they are looking at a government study where they saw the u.k. and france's rates were 50% cheaper than japan. ntt docomo has caved to this, saying they will cut rates of billion tourn ¥40 customers. so the markets are not that good investor appetite may not be said itong but mr. son will not hurt company profits and they will cut costs by trimming their staff as well as moving other people around. shery: very ambitious but also good at what he does. thank you so much. we hear from luxury retailers doing business in china. find out why this man is not

president trump from the singapore and png meetings. vice president mike pence saying is -- it should not be seen as a snub. he is representing the u.s. in absence of president trump. let's bring in our next guest. said this has also sort of strategy for asia has never been stronger. the senior vice president joins us out of new york. comfortable with him missing out but aipac is a big mistake? >> yeah. burma and the south china sea, there is no reason for him to be in asean especially because xi jinping will not be there. and seeing how much he gave away -- i could see him not wanting to revisit the scene of the crime but png is different
5:44 pm
because xi jinping will be there and papua new guinea is ground zero in battle for influence against beijing in the western pacific. look where it is near micro -- micronesia, the cook islands, this is the next war of influence between china and the u.s. it shows we care less about them that china does. that is a big miss. pence isice president the best in the administration to articulate policy against china ever since his landmark hudson institute speech. without trump it looks like less than china's offering. haidi: we heard from the government saying this area is our patch. it is a strong match to be -- message to be sending to beijing. do you think we will see the middle economies and regional significant ones like australia forced to take a position choosing between their traditional ally and their

5:46 pm
bother me because we are not saints in this regard. beijing, -- trade with you get what you pay for. his emphasis on human readers, defense of taiwan, that was the game changer. stuff on trade we have heard before and companies who want to do business there, you asked for it. but the other bigger geopolitical moral issues, that was the meat of it. shery: we saw a mature elections, several candidates opposed to president trump's tariffs and trade were defeated. does this give the green light for president trump to become harsher on china? >> i think the tariffs haven't hit yet and people have money in their pocket from a hot economy. most of the rural states will stand with president trump even if it is a hit to their bottom line. this gives trump reason to stay harder against china for longer especially because many democrats dig in on trade more than republicans.
5:47 pm
don't expect easing despite the trump -- that trump last week left a popular deal in argentina. i found it interesting in your recent visit to shanghai, you found less level of alarm with where the trade war goes from here talking to people on the ground. >> the big news is they let me in. even bigger, they let me out. ihad to give it speech, and was surprised how laid-back everyone was. i was told it could have to do with the fact the mainland media has liberally downplayed the training war -- treating war, letting it be seen as descriptors -- disrespect of xi jinping. they say we will go to europe instead. countries like germany and sweden are cutting back on chinese investment. everyis going to require economy to be categorized and locked. i don't think they were up to
5:48 pm
date how serious this new error could be. haidi: maybe ignorance is bliss. we talked about xi jinping's summer of discontent. you see this threatening his position. level of stay with the grievance you are seeing? >> i think it is>> overstated. facial recognition technology, cameras, everywhere, there was a flash. eight channels in my hotel, all xi jinping all the time. there is a lot of talk in the foreign business immunity. there is no revolt were pushed back to speak of. the only thing he used in these conflicts to solidify his position at home. if he sees any grounds for discontent, it will come so quickly we never saw it coming. i think he is safe. he is getting tighter and tighter at home every day. last week we heard
5:49 pm
secretary pompeo had to cancel his meeting with his north korean counterpart. from how much longer can the u.s. sustain a trade war with china when you have north korea to deal with? >> i don't think they are related. even if we have a trade war with china, they will still back north korea because it serves his purpose to keep korea divided which is what china's interested in and they are making out great from the need -- denuclearization process because trump has unilaterally canceled military exercises in the south. so he is a great gift for president xi. the trade war could be a rounding error. he could think this is the time to get the u.s. out of asia. shery: the senior vice president chongqing. brexit negotiators are working through the night to reach a deal but time could be running out. the latest next. this is bloomberg.

5:54 pm
i have to say parenthetically, my heart goes out to theresa may. this is a tough thing to do because it isn't just a deal the european union has to agree, and they have been pushing back for over a year. it is also something u.k. parliament has to agree and her cabinet members and meanwhile she has a lot of opponents in the wings who it seems would be pleased to see this go down and smoke because they are itching to get a chance at the prime minister seat. after the brexit deal is best. it is a thankless job. that the deal was in the endgame, the chief negotiator for the e.u. had said the deal is nearly finished. we saw the dollar rising against the pound a good bit, but when she gave her speech, she seemed
