two-year yield with three moving averages. what you need to know is how these three moving averages go to one point. they are converging with a massive conviction down to a point. this is massive inertial force. this screams lower in yields. francine: yes, it does. i love that chart. i have a more simple chart looking at the s&p 500 moving above 3000 yesterday. it did not finish above 3000 but it touched 3000. ms. comes near the five-year -- this comes near the five-year mark of one the index had its last round number. we are seeing a couple of european companies coming out with profit warnings. back to the fed. jerome powell has made it clear he is preparing to cut rates for the first time in a decade due to a slowing global economy and no signs of overheating in the

jobs market. here are some of the highlights of his congressional testimony. chairman powell: the overall economy is performing reasonably well, but we see what we call crosscurrents, principally trade developments and concerns over global growth. many fomcse and participants at the last meeting saw those as weighing on the outlook and calling for possibly more accommodative policy. 3.7% is a low unemployment rate. to call something hot, you need to see some heat. while we hear lots of reports of companies having a hard time finding qualified labor, nonetheless, we don't see wages really responding. i don't see that as a current issue. the bottom line for me is that the uncertainties around global growth and trade continue to weigh on the outlook. in addition, inflation continues to be muted. those things are still in place.

i have kind of said what i intended to say on the subject and what i have said is that the law clearly gives me a four-year term and i fully intend to serve it. francine: joining us now is gene frieda, pimco global strategist. what does it mean for the markets when you listen to jerome powell? how much more can central banks do? gene: we still have a little over 200 basis points that they could do. it is interesting that the market has been reluctant to believe in the concept of uninsurance cut. the for -- an insurance cut. the fed has led the market to focus on the labor market as the sole barometer of the economy. as you look at inflation, manufacturing, you see a significant weakening and pressure. from that perspective, i think there was very much a saly rumor by the fact -- sell the rumor by the fact.

was quite a big move before and after. francine: is 50 basis points what you are expecting? this 25 make a difference? gene: i don't think it makes a huge difference based on current market pricing. they will probably cut 25. it will not be horrible if they cut 50. this is really an insurance cut. the closer you are to the zero lower bound, the fewer chances you want to take with allowing disinflationary pressures to take hold in the economy. there has got to be at least some argument to surprise the market positively. i think the market will tend to overprice the possibility of a second cut and going 50-50 on a 50 basis point. tom: it is physics thursday here on "bloomberg surveillance." the two-year yield chart i showed, i made it for gene.

we have three moving averages converging in a massive downtrend. how do they break this trend? or do they just simply have to wait for the markets to clear and for gdp to lift? can they actually break the trend of yield? gene: break the declining trend of yield? tom: yes. how do they do that? gene: in the front end of the curve, i'm not sure you necessarily want to break declining trend in. yield the focus is. on getting inflation expectations back up. that comes down to how aggressive you have to be or you can credibly be with monetary policy when the economy is already very late cycle. it is hard to stoke the interest rate at this stage. i don't think it is so much about breaking the front end trend. yields have a reasonable chance of going lower. the dollar probably goes with it. that will impart a significant

easing of monetary conditions globally. tom: this is really important. give us scope and scale. when you say to year yield goes yield goeso-year lower, give me the number of basis points. gene: i will give you a weak answer. it is what the central bank says, data contingent. tom: you sound like a banker! gene: i gave that up a long time ago. i think if we look at the stay of the economy today, i would say yields do not have to go that much lower. you can probably get away with an insurance cut for the course of this year. call it 50 in one go or 25 in two goes. we are in a very fragile phase of the global business cycle. it will take one or two minor shocks on the trade front to tip us over. i think that is why you have to be a little bit flexible and say

, if you asked me today, i would say 50 basis point cut is enough the second half of the year and we will continue on our merry way. if we get another couple of shock,s related to trade, you can imagine them going much deeper. tom: i love that, weakest. from pimco providing wisdom on "bloomberg surveillance." jerome powell's testimony, but far more important, a first conversation with someone from the important richmond fed. this is bloomberg. ♪

the case. of a no deal. is that the most likely scenario for the market? stephanie, i don't know if you can hear me. i think we have a couple of concerns. this happens technically. let's also ask gene frieda what he thinks about pound. i'm not sure how you view brexit , whether it is a political risk we need to get over or can have far stronger political repercussions. gene:gene: i think it can have severe political repercussions. the market is not fully priced for a no deal brags it. the concerns are -- brags it. exit.ag the concerns are building over boris johnson. he has to make the other side believe he will walk out without some kind of change in the withdrawal agreement or if he is

ready to walk away most anyway because of domestic political considerations. the tory party is concerned about the threat from the brexit party. boris johnson and jeremy hunt seem to be reacting to that so you have to see as a reasonably credible threat. tom: what is the pimco view on european and united kingdom use of austerity? it is from eight, nine years ago. is austerity as a fiscal tool dead? gene: it certainly has not died in germany. even if you look across europe, where there is a clear reluctance to engage in significant physical easing, the pursestrings are loosening. after years of are stare, there is probably -- austerity, there is probably scope to use fiscal policy and the u.k. how do you do it? do you do in ways that basically by u-boats in the next six

you s -- by you -- buy votes in the next six months. tom: let's go back to stephanie kelly. i want to go to your work on a synthesis of all of this politics and economics. do you understand the economic program of mayor johnson? stephanie: i mean, it in so far as he has provided the details of it, i think yes. i think we are looking at a much more fiscally loose approach. he is going for an october 31 deadline. don'tr, realistically, i know if he will get the chance to implement that policy because a general election might be forced upon him before he can do so. francine: if there is a general election in the next eight months, how do you model that? what do pound traders a look at there is a chance that labour become the people in charge?

stephanie: i think that is the big challenge for markets, is going to be weighing off the labour party benefits and cons. there are huge concerns. clients are saying to me they are nervous about a labour party government because of the risk binnedonalization unless -- and less business friendly policy. they are willing to do a referendum. the referendum can be supportive of staying in, which we know is supportive of pound. we do multiple scenarios for different kinds of a labor government. if the labour government has a large majority, there is more of a risk you get that less business friendly policy, in which the pound might suffer. the temporary counterweight is the referendum. and it comes down to how big of a majority they can get and to

what extent markets are so itieved about no deal brags -- brexit, that they are willing to deal with a nationalist policy. francine: what does this mean for the bank of england? stephanie: everybody talking about the bank of england. the big question is about how the boe behaves. they are in a wait and see mode. can you give any kind of bank of england strong signal against the risk of a no deal brexit? that would certainly have implications for the bank of england in terms of having to loosen policy significantly. in the context of a labour party government, it becomes more nuanced. it depends on the extent to which the policies can be passed through. in a world where the u.k. remains a member of the eu, you are looking at more of a normal environment in which they you eat can start to make these

in debtsees risks corporate leverage. he is talking about a no deal brexit, saying it could cause material economic disruption. he is acknowledging a perceived likelihood of a no deal brexit in the market and that has risen. chat ands the no deal how it has risen up. it is really good to have gene frieda with us of pimco as we look at these liquidity mismatches. francine: they are saying the u.k. will step up its review of open-ended funds to prevent a growing industry becoming a threat to the financial industry and the economy. do these things change the composition of the market or the industry? ,he fact that the boe is saying

we are going to look at this and maybe regulate, and the possibility of a no deal brexit. gene: it forces funds to think carefully about the liquidity. when you can take your money out on any given day and you invest in long-term, less liquid assets , you have to be careful to manage your liquidity. u.k. personal property funds that froze redemptions, so definitely. francine: is the market better prepared this time? gene: i think it is. it is no surprise we are discussing the risk of a no deal brexit. seen in the economy how that uncertainty has grown and how it is evident in investment decisions. in realcisions are both economy stuff and portfolio investment decisions.

the other point i would make his most people still do not see a no deal brexit. i do not think it will be significantly priced until the itent it actually happens if happens, because it seems illogical. it is difficult to argue it is priced in at this stage. tom: the headline that is not there as they are worried about short-term paper in money market funds will break the buck. is that what this comes down to? gene: i don't think so. tom: i agree. what is it? gene: the boe has been at the forefront of looking at liquidity mismatches and focused intensely on the bank sector and the nonbanks. they are trying to send a warning to manage liquidity carefully. there is self-management of the

risk, doing your own internal stress testing rather than being imposed. that has not been the case because we have not seen a problem where this open-ended problemh a redemption causes any systemic threat. problem causes any systemic threat. tom: this explanation is extremely important. i want you to define "this "mismatch" within these open-ended funds. gene: it is the same with the bank, you deposit money in a fund. you may deposit that overnight or for three months. in an open-ended fund, typically you can take your money out within a day. those funds invest in assets like a two-year treasury or tenure

corporate bond or 30 year -- 10 year corporate bond or 30 year ill liquid paper. it is impossible for funds to continually test for shock. shocks can all be different. one day it may be interest rate shock or an exchange rate shock. we make sure our reporters are robust to those shocks. francine: when we talk about open-ended funds, they came to the spotlight because of woodford and h2o. what have they taught us? gene: we have a series of examples. one thing that it teaches you is that internal monitoring of funds, you have to be careful about fraudulent activity. that is why compliance is extremely important. it teaches you there are performance incentives that lead

some people to get out over their skis and say, the way i will beat my benchmark is going into riskier stuff. that generally means less liquid which is fine if the money comes in, but if the money flows out you have a larger block of illiquid paper. francine: my chart looks at the negative yielding debt comprising 25% of the investment grade total. what does the growing world of negative yields mean for your investment strategy? gene: it means from our perspective that you need to be more diversified. runave a 30 plus share bull in developed economy fixed income. we see alternatives, that it also probably tells us valuations are inflated and we need to be careful, whereas in an environment where we would have described fixed income as

cheap. francine: what happens if you cannot find safe bonds with a reasonable yield? gene: we can. you can play with the yield and the duration holding of your bonds. if we can hold a two-year treasury and get the same yield or better than a 10 year, we are encouraged to do that. what we have seen across less-developed markets as they have become safer over time. they exhibit safe s8 characteristics, so we have alternative -- asset characteristics, so we have alternatives. someixed income, credit, foreign currencies, and you still have a pretty robust portfolio. where we are in the cycle is telling us we do not want to have tons of risk. francine: gene frieda of pimco

governments have put a lot of foam on the runway, we still have a conditional lender of last resort problem where if the italian government were to do something deemed irresponsible by the european commission, bond yields can sell before that government decides to go on the straight and narrow and get support from the ecb. btp'su have a selloff in 300 to 500 basis points? sure. tom: within that comment is the entrance of president lagarde. does she have the might to change the political dialogue given price down, yield up across troubled europe? gene: i don't think she is enough in her own right, but we are pleased with the appointment . she brings the political gravitas that is probably needed. we are fortunate we have had the current ecb board create these

i don't know how much different it will be taken up by the new commission. there are some indications the interestednt will be in having a conference for europe. we don't know the details. some countries will back that. we need also a better understanding of what the composition of the commission will be and that will happen only by september. francine: what does europe need now, fiscal spending, a banking union? how do you find growth? gene: the first point i would make is a lot of the metrics are outdated. we are at a point when the master criteria were established, 60% debt limit, we are in a different interest rate and growth environment. with current yields, italian

debt is sustainable. even with weak growth, they are sustainable. that is an important point. if you want countries to play by the rules, you may need to rethink the roles to something more realistic in the current environment. we would like to see more focus on completing banking union. that seems to be an important source of vulnerability. huged that, we do not have hopes of fiscal integration, but a banking union would go a long way to making europe safer to external shock. tom: gene frieda, thank you for joining us this morning from pimco. will continue with us. this will be a timely conversation to our global -- ande, agricultural

it is necessary to have banks that are more profitable. banks have challenges on several fronts. there is regulatory pressure on the banks from the new regulators. some practice has still to be established and the banking unit is not complete. there is technological pressure from competitors like fintech and capital market pressure. centrics much more bank than the united states so the market will have and develop and take out some business from the banks. for what is the opportunity e.u. banking? do they leave deutsche bank alone or by off pieces of it? fabrizio: at will depend on how the plan pans out. if it is successful, deutsche bank could become the largest commercial bank in germany and stay that for a while.

the case for easing not being significant, as you heard from carney and as we are seeing. there is a global downturn taking place in business sentiment that is spilling to the u.s. shores. the risks have gone up and i think an insurance of 25 would make sense but 50 basis points would be hard to justify given where the economy is. francine: what does a policy mistake look like from the fed? cutting too much? bruce: we have to recognize we are in the midst of absorbing a shock we have not seen before and we do not know how big it is. and weks are two sided may find ourselves easing when we don't need to or we may find a hit from global drags on trade that are bigger than we think. i think either way the fed will

make a mistake but 25 basis points seems right. francine: what if they cut by 50 basis points? does that change the dynamic? bruce: certainly will. if the fed cuts 50 basis points, it is hard to do that and say you will sit for a while. a 50 basis point ease will give us an idea that the fed will go closer to 100 basis or more cumulatively. that is a stronger signal to the market than what powell gave yesterday, and a much more measured step in the face of the uncertainty is to do 25 and keep the door open. tom: thank you so much for the visit, bruce kasman. chris grisanti with us. this is his in-house note, and somehow it is one number and you go, that is not.

chancellor of germany. chancellor merkel has been at it 14 years. francine: she has been a bastion of stability in europe, a lot of people asking what her legacy will be. there are questions about her health, which investors have been asking, which politicians have also been asking. tom: lots going on today. we will continue to monitor this meeting. in washington, monitoring the heat of summer before we get to a good political discussion with the gentleman from south dakota, jack fitzpatrick. with a vengeance to me in the last 24 hours, the debt and the deficit is upon us. give us a calendar of when nancy pelosi really has to focus on debt ceilings and deficits on

controls. jack: that is the question of the day in washington. nobody knows the exact answer. you may be familiar with the phrase "extraordinary measures" that the treasury is using because they passed the debt ceiling deadline in the spring. the real deadline may be as early as early september. that would mean that congress needs to act probably before august recess unless they will skip that. the question is how seriously house democrats take that, if they think they can wait until october. these discussions are combined with spending discussions and we do not know if it will decouple those. zeitgeist is the big media press focusing on the

progressive liberals of ms. pelosi's party. what pressure is she facing from moderate democrats who barely won in the last go around? be thanite a bit, may from progressives. when you have a large caucus, you want a lot -- a lot of large districts. we will need to see if they will sign off on a budget caps deal they want to include in the debt ceiling. oniously they want action the debt ceiling as quickly as possible. if they a question of do spending cuts in other areas to offset a budget deal, that is not answered yet. tom: jack fitzpatrick, thank you. onlyshington also, the senator i know will rise this early. he is mike rounds, senator and

former governor of south dakota. i need to go to the weather. viscerally understanding the weather of america in the alfalfa fields and the soybean field. how bad is it? sen: round: the crops are very late. a lot did not get put in at all because it was too wet. the crops that did get put in are behind schedule. corn and soybeans are behind schedule. we talked about the file for. -- alfalfa. it is just beginning to bloom and it should be in mid bloom. we have some serious problems with regards to the weather, but that in conjunction with low commodity prices and after five years of decreasing farm income, i think we are down 50% in the last five years, particularly

the upper midwest, that is hurting and a lot of producers will not make it much longer without improvements. south dakotas itself need from the president of the united states? sen: round: the president has been to south dakota and understands our needs. he wants good, long-term trade policy and that is what our producers are asking for, a fair price and fair market. while we are working through that, our producers are on the tip of the spear when it comes to the trade war with china because soybeans have dropped billion%, half a dollars not coming into our state to begin with. the president understands we are on the tip of the spear, but nonetheless, the sooner we can get something done the better.

what they tried to do with regard to market assistance has been received well within the state, but what producers really want is that open market, the ability to not just work with but in then china, rest of the pacific rim as well. it would be great to have tpp on the books. francine: how would you describe the current arrangement with china? we keep hearing talks are back on track or have restarted. how do you see this relationship developing and what does it mean for the supply chain? sen: round: it is complicated because we have some issues with national security. huawei is not so much a trade issue but a national security issue. prospecthave a trade in which we will have to have the long-term discussion that china was not expecting us to have.

china looks 50 years down the road and expect that we look until the next election. they were hoping to simply outweighed us. centralt to have the trading around the pacific region around them. they do not care what the international norms are with regard to intellectual properties. they did not want to have a trading prospect in which you did not dump commodities in and try to ruin other people's markets, and they are playing hardball. the president has irritated some people in doing that. francine: do you believe jay powell is doing an ok job? should he be replaced? sen: round: i think the president has confidence in chairman powell. i do. what you have are two people who want exactly the same thing, but

the fed looks at it differently than the president. the president looking at what he can do to make the economy grow very quickly, but the fed has other obligations to keep unemployment low and inflation in check. chairman powell has done a good job of looking at the big extra and as he says, -- picture, and as he says, the big threats are outside the united states looking in, concerned about international economics and whether that will have an impact. i think they both want the same thing. the president has a unique way of lobbying for his position, but i think the chairman's job is safe. tom: kevin cirilli says i must ask you about the beltway gossip, the epstein uproar. ta step aside?s sen: round: mr. acosta did very

well speaking for himself yesterday. he knows as much about the issues surrounding this whole issue as anybody does. we will continue to let him speak for himself and see where he goes. tom: senator arounds, greatly rounds,te -- senator greatly appreciated, hammered by wet weather across the midwest. another senator and agriculture is part of his issue, david perdue of georgia. perdue,stin with david this is bloomberg. ♪

other than those one-off, we would stay away from most health care stocks, not because they are not great companies but because they are not investable. francine: what about tech companies? we saw apple and others trying to redistribute where their supply chains are made because of the trade concerns. are the supply chains permanently changed? chris: i don't think they are quite permanently changed, but if you are a china in a company as big as apple or samsung or sony are changing, these are not things you change willy-nilly. these changes take months to decide and years to play out. china wants a quicker end to this problem than you realize because as you get each headline that sony is moving out of china, that has got to weigh on the policy.

rather than looking at the tech companies, i would look at what this says about the trade negotiations. francine: can you find value with supply chains that change? we saw huge outflows of export from vietnam. chris: we try to avoid situations where we need to predict the policy moves, because with this administration especially, it is so difficult. dealxt week they have a and we bought all these supply chains that rely on vietnam, you do not want to rely on short-term decisions so we try to go to competitive situations. hold ae president will social media summit today, and i guess he is scheduling -- this is by tweet -- a beautiful rose garden for a conference on the citizens and citizenship.

we will see what this means in washington. the president has got his wish. powell delivered the stock market the president wants. is it an asset bubble? what is the risk that all of us are wishing for too much joy? chris: the risk i think is the trade get solved and by the end of the year, the fed is not lowering, it is raising again. tom: interesting. chris: we have all the ingredients -- what does it take to cause inflation? low unemployment, slack on the supply chain, consumer spending. we are starting to get that so i'm scratching my head on why the fed is lowering. we are heading towards an election year and if the fed starts hiking, it will be a problem for the president. tom: chris grisanti with us this

morning, really appreciate his efforts. a lot more coming up, chairman powell's comments, and a washington with a little bit going on. the white house saying they will back down on pharmacy rebates, the drug war in washington is tangible. ♪
