into the action without a reporter. ongail: the effect of china the global market china now in a correction from its april levels. this goes back to the s&p 500's last all-time high last year. in blue, the emerging markets. in white, the shanghai composite. china is leading the way, up almost 35% on the year. most recently, that correction nose diving. the question, whether it will play into the s&p 500 which right now is resilient. -- best case scenario, looks like there will be a flattening period. worst case, the nosedive could suggest a pullback could be ahead. >> am taking a look at volatility. he maynt trump suggested

be reigniting the trade war after those few tweets over the weekend. shorting volatility over the last few weeks or so. .he blue line there is the vix the white bars are showing net shorts. we are looking at the largest net short on record. it could be good news for equity traders. , the pastast year eight times the vix has moved at least three points on the day, it has led to above average performance. periodt time in that occurred five days after one of those spikes. romaine: let's look at a company that makes software developer tools. shares up 6%. this was the end of that 25 day quiet period. the banks finally got a chance to weigh in. as expected, most of the

research was positive. the companyr saying has strong new customer growth. piper jaffray actually saying that this company could be an acquisition target for companies like microsoft, alphabet, or cisco. a neutral rating, saying that a lot of the upside is already priced into the stock. the shares already more than doubled since the ipo price back on april 10, making it one of the sixth or seventh best-performing ipo's so far this year. still with us, patrick from credit suisse and bloomberg's sarah ponczek. basis, a pure valuation we have seen markets overall from the bottom at the end of last year. is that cause for concern? are they stretched? patrick: we think the market is

undervalued. a lot of times, people look at pe as a way to gauge the value of the market. investors are trying to understand how much cash they are generating, how much they can return to the individual shareholder. pe does not accurately capture it. if you look at an alternative metric like price per cash flow, they are under the long-term historical averages. what happens if the valuation of the dollar continues to strengthen? patrick: the dollar is a very interesting dynamic. higher dollar is a slight headwind for earnings but it is positive for multiples. money tends to flow into the united states as the dollar strengthens. it goes into large-cap companies. what we typically see is, in particular, via -- valuations move higher as the dollar

strengthens. caroline: a company that, after its ipo, finally getting some analysts calling out on. the resiliency of the recent ipo's today. we saw beyond meat, pinterest --o rally >> the risk come back onto the table. you may see some of those ipo's start to take off. so yes, that could potentially bode well for uber. everyone has been comparing lift ft.uber and uber to ly explained it as a wait and see approach. right now, investors are holding off on lyft, potentially waiting to see how uber does.

it is difficult to take a name like lyft and uber, and compare them to the rest of the market. joe: lyft expected tomorrow. the tradeesides question, one other important development, last week, chair powell maybe just sounding a tad more hawkish than people had expected, and that led to some selling. how much does that stance matter when you look at, say, a decline today may be mostly due to trade. is there still a little bit of an overhang from that that may be the fed won't be quite as accommodating as a week ago at this time? think what is important is the fact that the fed has already taken that dovish pivot. nevertheless, i think it is important to put that into context and that is what the market does. i think it is important that we

gauge the fact that it is that -- that it is either neutral and lower or neutral and higher. scarlet: will it be perceived as good news? it would push the fed in the direction of cutting. patrick: i think data exists in a band in which people try to gauge whether it is too hot or too cold. right now, an environment where the temperatures is just right. >> it is called goldilocks. scarlet: patrick, thank you so much. it for the closing bell and for me. romaine bostick is stepping in for "what'd you miss?" the team will focus on the aftermath of trump's latest trade threats. this is bloomberg. ♪

caroline: live from bloomberg world headquarters in new york. i'm caroline hyde. joe: i'm joe weisenthal. caroline: here's a snapshot of how u.s. stocks managed to raise some of their losses today. joe: the question is, "what'd you miss"? caroline: president trump shatters the historic calm in global markets and plunges the u.s. and global economy back into uncertainty. trade -- the new trade tensions. andey, south africa, central bank decisions. tech also getting caught in the crossfire. apple sliding today. they may get some support as the tech giant plans to release a slew of new apps, features, and

tools next month. romaine: u.s. stocks marching back from that selloff we had earlier in the day with all the major indexes ending trading just slightly in the red. the initial losses coming after trump reignited his tariffs threats with china. someone whod by served as the secretary of commerce for trade under president obama, and now he is the founder and managing partner of bridge park advisors. the tweet around the world that everyone was pointing to. the market seemed to sort of eventually take it in stride. is there a real impact market-wise or financial-wise with regards to if we do get to 25%? >> i think after people got over the excitement -- don't forget, we were positioned after the last visit that secretary mnuchin had in china where he said we are in the final laps of

getting to a trade deal. i think the market was expecting something to be announced in the very near term. i think the president's tweet sent people atwitter, pun inten ded. i think the market has concluded that it is much more likely that we get to a deal and we get to a deal in the near future. this was just a trumpian heression in the way communicates, and i think he thought it would be incrementally helpful as a negotiating tactic. still kind of ambiguous how the chinese side is going to respond. there was an initial report that said they would not show up in d.c. this week, then some indications that they will, then that they were never actually going to cancel. do you think there's a good chance they will kind of come to the same conclusion you did? it is a tweet, whatever, let's just continue on the path. seasoned,e mature,

professional negotiators. i'm not surprised at all that they didn't cancel. closest advisor, in many respects, is leading the charge. i think this is part and parcel to potentially getting to a deal. i think the deal we are going to see has to be one where both sides can claim victory. i think that is where we are going. caroline: does this sort of ?osturing help or hinder does it manage to walk the chinese back a little bit? >> who knows how effective ultimately all of this will be. you never know in the context of any negotiation what one particular tactic ultimately might have led to more or. i do think the chinese are taking all this stuff with a grain of salt at this point, and they understand now who they are

negotiating with, and they are trying to get to a deal so they can, as i said earlier, claim victory around it. i think the trumpet ministration are doing the same. i think we will have to see what that deal actually encapsulates. is it going to be just purchasing more u.s. goods, lng, financialm, assets, or is it going to fundamentally get to some of the big pillars that the administration and business community is rightly focused on? cyber theft, counterfeiting, and state support of chinese businesses. romaine: how reporting seemed to suggest that one of the reasons why the trumpet ministration did what it did was that china seemed to back away from this idea of changing their laws. if they don't change their laws, are those even possible? >> those are some of the things. the other is specifically what

happens to the tariffs if we reach a deal or not, if they are withdrawn or not, and how they are potentially snapped back if the chinese don't do all of the things they would potentially agree to in the context of a negotiation. there are some industries where there are still some open items. i think it is unclear exactly what is going on in the negotiations other than to say, i do believe we are getting close to the endgame here. joe: do you think the administration once a deal for a deal's sake? it seems like the record is mixed. on nafta, i don't think the new deal is all that different from the old one. on the other hand, whether it is debating health care, taxes, trump is shown in -- trump has shown the willingness to not just take a deal for the appearance of a deal.

say, for sure, he wants to for political reasons and actually economic reasons, to get to a deal. no deal was ever going to be a panacea to address all of the issues we have in terms of our economic and commercial relationship with china and that is fundamentally because they are not a market economy. having an economy of that size and an economy of our size to effectively interact with each other is going to be a long haul and we should expect, frankly, a lot of this to continue over the foreseeable future. joe: former undersecretary of commerce for international trade under president obama, thank you very much. romaine: we just want to recap some earnings. aig out with their earnings. coming in at $1.58 per share. we should point out that the return on equity on an adjusted basis coming in at 11.6%. joe: coming up, warren buffett himself in the hot seat as

joe: buffet watchers converging on omaha over the weekend for berkshire hathaway's meeting. warren buffett found himself in an unusual position, answering questions about whether a different approach is needed after bets on amazon and kraft heinz. the author who just got back from omaha. how many years have you been going? >> 25. joe: we got some news at the end

of last week about amazon being a holding. i guess it was one of the deputies who bought it. does this represent some sort of drift from the brookshire style of investing, are -- or are we just in a world where you could plausibly say that their mode or brand could plausibly fit in as a classic brookshire investment? >> it is now a 20-year-old company. still doing interesting things and jeff bezos is an interesting guy, but the track record is clear. they could probably pattern those cash flows with a reasonable degree of certainty. you are right, it is one of the deputies. i think it is probably something warren still wants to stay away from but the rest of them could probably think about it and do a reasonably good job. caroline: it has been fits and starts. yes, they got in with apple.

they seemed seemingly upset they never got in bed with alphabet and google. but he walked away from oracle saying he didn't really understand the business model. >> they understand his business model, that he sticks with what he knows. he's done very well with that for 54 years. there's occasional agitation about whether you missed the next big thing. but he has said, there will be a next big thing, and we will probably miss it. romaine: are they also contend with the potential transition that is obviously inevitably going to take place with charlie and warren buffett, given their ages? >> that is the million-dollar question that has been on their minds for decades. i tried to address the question five years ago in a book about the subject and i took the position that the benches so deep among the managers, the skill set is so wide-ranging, that we don't really have a lot

to worry about. i think that convinced about half of the shareholder population but the other half is uncertain. i think it will be a little different when he's no longer at the helm, but i think they have done the best possible job of creating a succession plan or a company that will last indefinitely. anyone: i don't think doubts the skill level, but they don't necessarily have the same cult of personality and charisma that buffett brings to the table. lawrence: it happened over time. greg will need a bit of a runway to develop those wings. every time i talked to greg, at some point in the conversation, i think i'm talking to warren. he is lately assuming greater responsibility. joe: this is a big weekend in sales for some of the berkshire companies, like the furniture company. will it still be a big thing where tons of people show up in omaha once a year to hear from

someone else who is not warren? lawrence: the book that you guys put up there demonstrates that people go to the meeting mainly for each other. draw, the activities surrounding the meeting that go through sunday. tens of thousands will still come for those reasons. you may get a cut. as you said this weekend, it is not inevitable. greg will have to show that he can continue to allocate capital and so on, and if he can't do that, we will stop going and they will break up the company. but i think he has got the chops and will attract whatever he needs in order to sustain the business. caroline: those wanting to spend time with each other, and for the queue and day, are they &a,ried about -- for the q are they worried about the cash piling up and what is going to be done for? lawrence: yes.

he has said he's waiting for a big elephant. someone said, if you had invested a big part of that in an index fund 10 years ago, you would have made $30 billion for the stockholders. warren said, i won't quarrel with your numbers, you are probably right, but we need to keep the powder dry for the big elephant or the big crash opportunity. this has been, i think, his greatest strength. when people are agitating for him to do something, he sits still. there has always been pressure, but he's been able to withstand it. challengesbiggest they face is resisting some of those pressures when sitting tight might be best. romaine: what do you make of some of the criticism with the relationship between berkshire and 3g and the way some of those deals have been pulled off? lawrence: berkshire's long-term capital. 3g is short-term capital. to mix those in an acquisition

is extremely difficult. you are seeing that in kraft heinz. what 3g did was a little shorter cited. think the ceo has acknowledged as much. i think that is the biggest difficulty. the holders for years have pressed more on that. answer, i trust these guys, i've known them for years. the other than getting to q&a, what was your favorite thing about the weekend? lawrence: i almost never learn something entirely new, but i get refreshed every time. for most of us veterans, it is more like going to church then university. we may not learn something new but we reaffirm a lot of beliefs. caroline: lawrence cunningham, law professor at george washington university. a check on the latest headlines. bloomberg has learned that anadarko's board has decided to

these wwdc conferences, as they are called, they want to come out with new apps, features, and tools for consumers that will keep them locked into the ecosystem, keep them buying the next iphones, essentially even giving a picture of what will come on the next iphones, but also give developers new features and tools for them to continue to write new apps. one issue that we have heard from some of your reporting as well as other bloomberg reporting is that there has been conflict or competition between the apps that apple is building for itself and some of the third-party apps. mark: this is something that has been happening since the beginning. apple is the operating system maker as well as the provider of the app store. i particularly don't think it is an issue. apple creates these tools that enable so many people, the

entire app economy. there are people making tons of money and releasing applications and they wouldn't have that opportunity if apple wasn't building the tools to enable them. at the same time, there are developers like spotify and others that are not happy. they become these big businesses. caroline: talk about some of the real iterations they are making, in particular what caught my attention was the fact that they are going to make the apple watch more of a standalone product to a certain extent. do you always need it tied to the phone? mark: the original vision for the apple watch is to create a device that is completely independent from the phone. apple imagined being able to go into an apple store, hook the watch up to a plan with its own phone number and data plan, and never have to attach it to an iphone. that would make it compatible with people who don't have iphones. thisn't anticipate that

year. they're going to break away more from the iphone, new apps like voice memos, a calculator, a reading app for listening. also the app store being built into the watch, so you don't need a phone to install apps. strategically,at a big priority for apple is boosting its services revenue that came up during the earnings. not long ago, they had that big streaming event. willie software update we see tomorrow somehow facilitate -- or how will they facilitate that broader business call? the broader business goal is to continue to have developers writing apps. the more developers that are part of the ecosystem, the more apps, the more money they will make from services. none of the individual features that are coming that will be released in the september, october timeframe will really be on a recurring revenue basis.

reverberations from the yuan move and the mood overall across the landscape today? >> you definitely saw the yuan leading the charge in terms of em weakness across the board. the yuan actually wasn't the weakest em currency today. across the world, not just em. that is really as we see this political uncertainty come back. the big news today was that turkey ordered a rerun of the istanbul mayor election, the vote that erdogan's party narrowly lost. just a reminder for em investors that it is a wild ride in turkey. romaine: you get the rand, the lira, the won. the argentine peso, is that collapsing as well? katherine: compared to the other ones, it is holding up right now.
