not time to go into cyclicals. it makes sense that the small caps are on the decline. scarlet: how long can the late cycle last, specially with central banks last? especially providing so much wind? >> the market is getting the hint of that. after draghi's statements. rateyou think about what a cut will do for the u.s. economy, basically nothing. the rates have come down in anticipation for months and months of what the fed is going to do. and yet the housing market has slumped. the consumer is from the housing standpoint, that is not getting into the u.s. economy. that is a big part. the fed would have to cut rustic latest see that part, that group rebound. >> you seem to be a voice of call men caution when the market once -- wants to buy. the s&p and even the small caps.

than a fewp more percentage points. >> when you look at the s&p 500, we are not close to oversold conditions. we are not elevated but when you look on an aggregate basis, we are below that line where people start to get worried about a potential for things being too overenthusiastic. >> the major indexes have recovered, the s&p gaining 1.7%. last week, it had declined. we're back on the slow glide higher. >> what are you watching? asked fed next wednesday and i am thinking about bonds, 10 year yields in particular. the 10 year yield the last four weeks it has closed down three out of those -- higher three out of those four weeks. bonds are sliding into the fed, perhaps making the case that the

rate cut is priced in. this is a long-term chart. you see the great bond bull market. there is two different trend channels, the 10 year yield bouncing off of the higher when. , ithe tenure you hold 2% suggests that any rate cut or future rate cut may be priced into some degree as this happened in the past with qe but it is below 2%. look for a significant move lower on that critical life. ; everyone who is watching the fed next week it also we have many more earnings coming to the stage. if you look at earnings from above second-quarter earnings have looked good, three quarters of companies have beat expectations. we are tracking to see flat growth. where no longer expected to see a decline in earnings for the second quarter. if you look ahead, thanks have been bleaker. as you can see in this chart, there are 35 companies that have revised guidance for the next quarter. many of them, 60% of those

companies have revised guidance lower. that share is the highest in data going back since 2011. that begs the question, if the fed cuts, it will it be the be-all and end-all, but if we continue to see the trend progress going forward, is it going to be an issue for companies? >> thank you. still with us is matt perrone and vincent cignarella. one of the big things we keep revisiting this week in particular is the extent of the negative feeling get that is out there particularly injure -- in europe and japan and emerging markets when you look at investment grade. we saw you record low yields in europe. where does one go for yields if you're staying with fixed income? >> you have to get yield in credit markets, in emerging markets. you get paid electric premium for low default rates. we think you can, the credit

markets are still ok. that will be a continuing source and that is a late cycle phenomenon can earn your yields here for a while because we think we have time before the cycle rolls over. >> when we talk about cycle events and we're looking toward to next week, we have the fed but there is other economic data. i don't want to minimize it but how much does that matter? it seems like fed's reaction function of the market is not tied to put we are seeing in the economic data. it seems like there is something broader. >> you will see short-term reactions for jobs. what people have been ignoring and because there is not a lot of expectations is the trade talks next week. what i am hearing from sources that is interesting, the raising the meeting was moved to xi'xghai was president

advisors say look out the window. this has all those large corporations and the big banks. if this is not a trade deal this is going way so it is a shot across the bow back to washington. >> global optics. and you're looking at a week we have been bombarded with news when it comes to trade and u.k. -- u.k. politics and the ecb, power opportunities looking the u.s. vis-a-vis the rest of the world question mark >> we like they are structurally. the negative debt is a problem in some developed markets and shows they are having trouble getting an organic rose essence started. we like to favor the u.s. and long-term, we like asia, what is happening there so we look for an opportunity to get more advantage ofing near-term weakness for the long-term. that should be the second growth

engine of the world. >> retheme -- keep thinking thet everything like complete cycle. the negative yielding debt is unprecedented. there is not a blueprint to look at for all of this. when you think about what could that is not priced in, black swan events, what are you worried about that could happen? >> you great -- bring up a great point. the circle -- cycle is this time around. is this a long cycle or a series of cycles within cycles? it is we think a lot about. each is marred -- marching asynchronously. it makes the calculus player that hard to play as an investor. can spotplaybook, we opportunities when we see these cycles within cycles. to your point about negative debt. the risk we see is of a policy error. not necessary session is --

necessarily policy error. >> we talk about black swan risk aboutnd trump is talking putting tariffs on french wine but there is a broader issue, the idea that you have a president out there that is still sees it as his mission to write what he sees is wrong when it comes to trade. what -- how does that factor to plan when it is not clear what the next battle will be? >> as long as he stays with and policymakers are aware of what is achieving their overall objectives in terms of policy gesture as opposed to doing damage. i talked about the risk of a policy error that is meaningful, french wine will not move our economy that much. >> what is your black swan event? >> boris johnson. not wine. he said today he was not going to call a general election

before the 31st. he is playing hard baseball. they are playing it back and i don't think he will back off. there is a potential of a big accident, a little bit of a game of chicken and we get hard brexit. scarlet: thank you. that does it for the closing. at all be taking a look the events coming up next week including the jobs report and the fed. this is bloomberg. ♪

a lot of people pooh-poohed the rip port. -- we saw a real resiliency. people are spending despite the craziness that is going on. what is your take away, will that be enough to keep the economy going? >> i think so. we are still seeing the effect of that even this -- second quarter. affectssee some of the one week of into next year. the consumer is strong, confidence is high and government spending is also robust. >> kudos to you and your team. you are bang on the nose in terms of the target. were you surprised by a lesser business investment drag that had been expected. you were thinking it was going to be worse. >> we were surprised that it was not as bad as everyone thought. as much forecasted. that is something the fed will

be paying close attention to. there's a lack of business investment because of the trade wars and uncertainty surrounding them. think the decline in nonresidential spending was part of the trade war or are there internal issues going on with the u.s. economy that are separated from that? >> we look at the fundamentals they are very strong. -- i think that this is could be transitory. on monday mnuchin and lighthizer will be in china with renewed negotiations. see more business investment if we see clarity on that front. >> should the fed be worrying about it and should we be seeing pier 3 rate cuts being priced in? >> the fed is concerned about two things, the fact that the trade wars have weighed on not only trade but business investment.

we have been undershooting that 2% inflation target. provide anlooking to insurance cut to make sure that we get closer to the target and provide some offset to the headwinds. >> when you look at the data, there is a sense among some people and some of our columnists have pointed this out that the trade line on economic growth has been going down, long-term trendline and they were back toward 2015 levels on we had the recession that was not quite the recession. when you look at the data do you still see the u.s. economy on an upswing, a plateau, or are we headed downward? >> 3% was hardly sustainable. our expectation is growth will slow to around 2% which is not too far from potential. there might be some good news. congressvernment of and the president sign off on this spending package, we could see some upside risk to that growth rate next year as well as

for 2021.k >> how about the lower cost of borrowing and how that mechanism will help the economy. it might help inflation. that is what the fed is worried about. coming -- with a spend of they get a quarter of a percent off? >> we ran a survey of our readership and asked where do think the fed cut will go and most people said it will go toward higher asset prices. not so much toward consumer spending or business is feeling more comfortable with investing. >> this seems to be the worry among some people, some more bearish folks in the market. orthe fed is going to create inflate the assets even further, it could create an asset apple and people have pointed out the last couple of recessions we had were caused by asset bubbles rather than some economic problem's. is there a risk that if the fed does go on some sort of prolonged easing cycle we end up

acting the same position we were 1999-2000?or >> there is a risk of asset price inflation but it depends on what the asset price is. when we go back to the recession the bubble was in the housing sector. when you look backward it is more tech stocks and people do not -- things people do not own. it is important where those excesses might be. >> what about the other central banks? ,e had comments from the ecb mario draghi not sounding dovish enough even though he is talking about manufacturing getting worse and stimulus in september. is there a worry about how much bandwidth they have to stimulate europe? >> there is concerned there is face in monetary policy europe and not much fiscal policy space. europe is in a different position. europe has seen weaker growth

because of their linkages back to china and china is slowing because of the trade war and their own restructuring. i would not put the u.s. and europe in the same bucket. there are concerns about global asset prices being inflated by the amount of stimulus coming in from monetary policy. >> when you look at the response is there a risk we are entering a competitive stage between central banks or is this a synchronized effort to bring policy down to a similar level? >> it may be exponential synchronized action. when the fed became more dovish and powell signaled there will be a rate hike. many central banks help more comfortable with pulling stimulus to help underpin their own economy. this is not so much a coordinated effort but each economy trying to prop up their own growth.
