it is tumbling back to june lows. the lowest since june 19. growth in the second quarter has been far behind the first three months of the year. both profit and shipments slowed and deliveries, only about one third of the game -- they gain that ferreri had delivered during the first quarter. you can see the company raised its industrial free cash flow. scarlet: thank you so much. more headlines here as president trump made comments as the u.s. and eu were signing this deal that had been previously announced about opening up to more beef exports. the president said eu auto tariffs are never off the table and added that the eu is tough to deal with. are reelingere we -- another headline, china devalued its currency. president trump pushing that angle about other countries
3:56 pm
making themselves more competitive relative to the u.s.. let's bring in mike reagan now. full in and contextualize these headlines. we are looking at markets gyrate and they have been all over the place. very choppy. trade is why. >> choppy is going to be the theme going forward. of all the scary things that happened this week, i will point out one more that not everyone is appreciating. the calendar turned to august. this is a notoriously volatile month. you tend to see it ramp-up in august, maybe reach a peak toward the ends of august. out of curiosity, i looked at the average return of the s&p in august this decade. that is absolute return, up and down. more than half down. volume is down, volatility is up, and we are entering the month with this new sentiment of risk off.
3:57 pm
it is time to buckle your seatbelts. romaine: are there any parallels? we hit 20 on the vix. that is the first time since march, i believe. if you call people, a lot are already on occasion. how do you trade in a market where you are already coming into this relatively low volume? now you have this wildcard of trade back in the mix. >> a lot of noise. early this quarter, we saw the decline in futures before the stock market opened, reversed their declines suggesting maybe president trump will cancel the tariffs if china does come back to the bargaining table. saw statetantly, we media out with an editorial saying these tariffs push them further apart. remember the news flow out of this white house can be very confusing, chaotic. there have been talks about
3:58 pm
signal versus noise. we have to brace for noise, choppiness this month. we are coming to this realization that everyone thought trump would eventually settle the trade dispute in time to brag about it on the campaign trail. it is not so clear that will be the case anymore. scarlet: it is not so clear even when you listen to the headlines that the president says, because we are looking at it in print. the president said he was joking when he mentioned to european union officials that he would add german car tariffs. he said it, then said he was kidding. caroline: then he came back afterward saying tariffs are never off the table. he speaks to one side than the other. you have to break -- brace yourself for anything. let's get even more expertise with our chief investment officer for charles schwab. tradeou have got this concern, conflicting reports,
3:59 pm
plus a jobs report to digest, what are you looking up? marketre looking at a that has already digested all the good news. corporate earnings were pretty positive, then we expected, a ft and tour the second part of the week, we see that the fed is less dovish than expected, followed by big headlines coming from the tariff discussion, and very significant yields on commodity prices. clearly, when you extrapolate the good news, the end of the week is representing more of the reality of the volatility that should be in the market. romaine: we joke a lot about people going to triple leverage cash portfolio, but for a lot of fund managers and other folks, they don't have the ability to exit the market altogether. how do you position yourself? what do you look at over the next few months?
4:00 pm
into,ould summarize it find sectors that provide stability. growth will continue evgrowth wg thing going into the second half of the year. three, defense. higher quality will provide good rotation for people to migrate, so high quality growth companies tend to do very well in these environments. clearly, volatility is part of that. that will be part of what money managers have to adjust. howline: when we look at adjusting, it has been risk off the entire week. if you look at the market close, we managed to rally off technology from the center in terms of a brutal selloff. scarlet: chipmakers were the worst performers out of 24 industry groups for the week,
4:01 pm
software companies, which are seen as more stable because they have that recurring revenue stream, they have the cloud, off and looking at weekly superlatives, remain, you have been looking at this as well. the s&p and nasdaq both posting worst performance this week. romaine: we are also testing the 50 day moving averages and the 200 day moving average. talk about the gainers, a lot of material stocks, semi-industrial stocks. , thest performer this week seed and pesticide from dow dupont that was spun off in june, up 10%. it has been rallying, but interesting to see what moves higher this week in the face of that. caroline: also government bonds front and center. that's dive deeper into the action. >> at the close, i am looking at
4:02 pm
gold. it is fluctuating this entire week and at one point, it was back to a six year high. now it is lower. take a look at the action now. now it is a little higher. whipsawed this week, over jay powell dampening expectation for a lengthy easing cycle. this was also from renewed demand for metals as a safe haven. you will see that gold is still relatively high for the year. it is on a relatively steady incline and we should see what more it bring next week. day, onrallying on the the week. truly extraordinary global bonds. take a look at this chart of the 30 year, this is extraordinary.
4:03 pm
at one point today, around 6:30 a.m., yielding negative one basis point. right now, also yielding plus one. that has amazed investors who would be willing to lock up their money for 30 years and pay to do it. the two been true for and 10 year for some time. take a look at the year today chart. in white, the 30 day, in yellow, the 10 year. in blue, the 10 year. price inverse to yields. a huge rally. extraordinary that the two-year is yielding -79 basis points. the 10 year -50 basis points. investors paying the german government to lock up their money. call it risk off, seeking safety, interesting times for sure. romaine: thanks. still with us is charles schwab and bloombergs mike regan. i want to pick up where abigail
4:04 pm
left off with regards to the decline in german yields. we are seeing this across a lot of nations in europe. yields continue to go lower in the united states. what does this tell you about sentiment? >> a few things. one, this confirms that we are in a global economic slowdown. that has been a theme starting in 2018 and continues to be a trend. it also represents the fact that when you see negative yields in europe, it shows how difficult the situation is for the economy they are and how at risk that could be for the rest of the world. cases,ink that in many the tariff discussion, which has impacted the u.s. and in the main discussion between the u.s. forchina, the implications a very weak europe situation could derail further the deceleration of economic growth
4:05 pm
and put europe in recession. when you combine that with the fact that you have a brexit discussion coming out when you have a changing leadership at the ecb, the eyes on europe is something we all have to watch. scarlet: it is something we have to watch and something like reagan has been watching closely. our macro strategist here had a great line in one of his stories, which it is not german fixed income anymore, it is german fixed nlt. the yield curve did not do totally negative. >> less than one basis point. to go back to what omar said, the german bond market is much different than the u.s. bond market. have constraints on running a budget deficit. they are not issuing huge amounts of supply like we are. although the 30 year yield did go briefly negative today, rates in the u.s. fell ayou saw the e.
4:06 pm
you see this dollarrack off the side. even the british pound to stabilize. despite only having a majority of one in boris johnson. at the dollarook continuing to skyrocket as a source of better financial conditions. caroline: the dollar, the fact that we have had weakness the past couple days, is that here to stay? how does that reflect on earnings? next week, we have disney, media companies, right shares. >> the dollar it stopped being one of discussion in most corporate earnings calls and i think the majority of companies now talk about tariffs being the main headline going forward.
4:07 pm
i think the dollar is going to put its place. what we describe about the difference in yields, different interest rates, given that the majority are in and easingit wie dollar stable. i am surprised we didn't see a stronger dollar, because, normally people go to the dollar as a way to safety. do you think the jobs report we got earlier today helps the dollar a little more? >> oh yeah, we forgot about that. the fact that we didn't talk about this shows that the economy is in good condition here and the job reports just confirmed that we are back to where we should be in the economic cycle. give the fedes more flex ability. what we saw earlier in the week, which is an insurance cut that clearly plays with a tariff
4:08 pm
discussion. it is almost like he was preventing something happening later in the week. now it provides the fed more flex ability for september, where most likely the market will have to do another cut for insurance purposes if nothing gets clear on the trade discussion. i think the jobs report is just a confirmation of the economy is in good shape and it is more a function of what the fed does. caroline: great to get your thoughts today. -- great to and have you both. , someng news congratulations are going out to the new nomination to lead the imf. crystal li na georgie ava is going to be the leader. congratulations coming from the head of the commission.
4:09 pm
as well as the previous dutch finance minister. filling seats in the european leadership and we now have a name for the imf candidate. that does it for the closing bell and for me. "what'd you miss?" is next, but the team will focus on the trade war and the state of the labor market. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:12 pm
year. president trump touts a deal to boost u.s. exports to europe while china vows to strike back at trumps extra tariffs. tariffs outweighed jobs. a healthy labor report failed to deter and traders from half a point of additional rate cuts in 2019. upping the stakes, we work is borrowing, but it is all contingent on a successful ipo. romaine: president trump as he left the white house saying that he could raise china tariffs to a higher number, he also talked about other topics. let's bring in bloombergs chief washington correspondent. he joins us now. saying, it has been a dizzying day in terms of trade. hesident trump saying that is going to be boosting beef
4:13 pm
exports to the european union. it comes following of talks against china. the politics of this are interesting, because the agricultural community is unsure of how the president has been negotiating with the chinese. they are directly impacted by the back and forth, so some good news for farmers as this gets going. saying heent jokingly was considering tariffs on the , but it looks like things are heading in the wrong direction with u.s. china trade talks, but the president signaling not just to the u.s. but take global counterparts that his talks with the european union are moving in the right direction. caroline: i know he was joking initially at the event when he joked that he was going to do another 25% of tariffs and then said he was kidding, but as he
4:14 pm
said,out to depart, he auto tariffs are never off the table. he also said the eu is tough to deal with. it feels as though he is always trying to dangle something. >> what is the expression, there is always a dose of truth and humor? i think the president was saying it is a sprint and while things may be heading in the right direction now, they can turn on a dime. how thefurther than president has been negotiating with china. the chatter here is the president trying to suggest that while a trade deal may be going south with china, it is going in the right direction with europe and that has been interesting. while the president has had a penchant for dealing with bilateral trade agreements or the eu in whole, you can't have that discussion in a vacuum and the president looking perhaps to signal to the chinese that he is
4:15 pm
on the cusp of getting usmca ratified in the fall and he could be on the cusp of getting trade developments with the european union. the broader take away is, as he suggested last week, a looming trade deal with china may not happen until after the 2020 election. caroline: you. rate round up of the pros and cons, the good, the bad and the ugly in an exhausting week. trade, wen u.s. china are joined by the senior advisor in china studies and director of the project of chinese economy. how the ramp up has been on china u.s. trade, maybe news that will change with europe. --
4:16 pm
romaine: trade as a percentage of overall trade than the other way around. certainly, china depends on u.s. technology expertise and certainly a decoupling will hurt nevertheless, it is a lose lose outcome, so i wouldn't want to say that the u.s. would come out of this looking very good either. we also heard from the chinese ambassador to the u.s.. he was pretty direct about this idea that china was willing to dig in its heels and fight back against what he characterized as being unfair in the way that the u.s. is dealing with the chinese in these trade negotiations. how much faith you think the chinese negotiators have in the u.s. negotiators and do you think it will ever get to a point in the short-term where a deal can be struck?
4:17 pm
zip think they have all of trust in the u.s. side. back, youd the clock will see that the chinese where it seriously negotiating in february and march and as april moved further along, they got cold feet and was the president raised tariffs in early may and did the actions against huawei, the chinese basically lost interest. they have continued to lose interest in the deal, and now i don't think there is anything the president could do or even mr. lighthizer to persuade the chinese that we would reach a full-scale deal and carry it out. i think the chinese are playing to drag their heels until the end of this administration and see what happens with the next team. caroline: not just drag their heels, but also retaliate. how do you anticipate the ways
4:18 pm
that china? would and could retaliate see think we will multilayered retaliation and response. not just a simple proportionate response in a specific area. i think the chinese have decided that they can't get a deal, that they see the u.s. as a strategic opponent and will react in kind. we will see tariffs on u.s. goods go up, american companies treated worse. we will see benefits go to europeans and others more. china will try to compete other trade deals and we will see the chinese talk more effectively about taiwan, hong kong, other areas to create anxiety and the west. romaine: the direct economic fallout has been manageable for the chinese and it certainly has not hit the u.s. as hard as some people thought it would. do you think there could be more economic damage done over the next year and a half? >> year and a half, no.
4:19 pm
the chinese have plenty of macroeconomic room to stimulate the economy to get through the rest of this administration. they have not stepped on the gas so way they had in the past i think they have got plenty of room. longer-term, as we said at the top, china depends on globalization and a healthy relationship with the united states and europe. you take all of that away or reduce it in that will have a big effect down the road on productivity, growth in china, business confidence in china. it will have a big effect on the overall trajectory. romaine: scott kennedy, thank you for joining us. coming up, slow and steady. job growth cools down, but remains steady as the tariff war grows. we will break down the numbers coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪
