its july record. su: one strategist said when you have stocks hitting new records, there is optimism all around hitting a lot of investors and we saw that in the rise. let's take a look at some of the big movers. what you will notice is the size. the beneficiary of merger news. lbmh making a bid which boosted the stock. at&t benefiting from a board shuffle. microsoft benefiting from a contract, a big pentagon contract. pg&e moving on another direction on consume of liability with these wildfires that are raging across northern california, and even hitting downtown l.a. take a look at some of the other big moves. china came out and said it is making these bond buys. really boosted a lot of chicken related stocks. tyson foods. qualcomm pacing the gains of the semiconductor stocks.

a lot of this related to the trade news. after hours, very big news. two marking names. alphabet down on some factors we will get to in a minute. beyond meat posting a profit. their sales were up significantly, however concerned about the lockup period expiring. quickly on the bloomberg, hasle's website news continued growth but that is not the issue. their heavy spending on cloud computing business denting a lot of the earnings. they have future growth and that is resulting in operating income almost 3% below the expectation. haidi: another big week, big day for boeing. the ceo preparing to speak to the senate later on tuesday, excited to say his company made mistakes. how are we imagining the stock will react? su: we are not expecting the senate to give him a warm welcome. some believe it can be very

harsh and that could impact the stocks indefinitely. it has been down in a big way, from its peak this year. we know we made mistakes is part of the advanced testimony we have that we know mullen berg, the ceo, will be giving to the senate. he says we have done some things wrong. we own that. he is expected to say we are fixing things. the questions are likely to be what the date no, when did they know and to delve into these mistakes. again, tuesday and wednesday, big focus for boeing. shery: thank you so much for the latest on the markets. joining us now for more his wells fargo senior management manager, margie patel. how much of this upside we are seeing in the stock have to do with the trade war being priced in, potential fed rate cuts this week? and how much of it has to do with actual earnings?

margie: earnings have been pretty decent. we have had some ups and downs but even companies that had a little shortfall, it is very much attributable to foreign currency, more capx. or more importantly, they are keeping the full-year earnings intact. companies are pretty optimistic. i think it shows the uptrend we have in the economy since the fed began cutting rates and i think that will continue to drive the markets for the rest of the year. shery: we have seen this uptrend on the russell 2000 with small caps that have largely underperformed the broader market. this chart on the bloomberg showing the russell 2000 is now above its 200 day moving average, perhaps moving back to the 1600 level. can we expect more gains for these u.s. centric companies? becauseyes, i think so it looks as if the u.s. is going to grow probably close to 2% for

gdp which is pretty good when you look at global growth and slowdown. we have the advantage of the fed continuing to provide liquidity, very sensitive to the economy and financial markets. they will not slam on the brakes and slowly economy. i expect to see these surprises to be on the upside for sales earnings and company outlook. interesting an pattern we are seeing in terms of growth versus value stocks. i want to pull up this chart on the terminal, looking at american value stocks rally into a record. this is we have seen faster growth names falter. is this uncertainty as to what the fed does beyond this week? we know when it comes to another move in december, there is more uncertainty. shery: right, it seems like you

are not getting her question. she was asking you about this sector rotation we are seeing from growth to value, so what can we expect? margie: i think growth is going to continue to lead the parade because that is really where growth is in the economy. that trend will continue. i think it is more people looking over for bargains, looking over for companies that may be have been left behind that didn't have spectacular growth. i think we will see that. as people become more optimistic, that is why you are seeing small caps moving ahead. the russell 2000 is a great example of that. haidi: if you can hear me this time, i'm wondering as we have seen so much optimism and calm priced it because of the expectation of the phase one deal, the confidence that president trump is displaying at the moment. what about phase two? is it also going to start the idea of pricing in what other assets are going to rally coming

a little quicker than what we thought? margie: i think that the trade pact is going to have a very marginal impact on long-term 2/10 of 1%maybe increasing optimism but i am not really looking at that as the main driver. i think we are going to see a rotation by u.s. companies away from china, pretty much regardless of the trade talk what is more important is what is the outlook for the market, it is pretty good. the fed is being supportive. that is why i think you have to look for the surprises on the upside. haidi: what really comes in terms of sparing the next leg in this rally, given we are at the end of the cycle? do we need to see the economic data impress a bit more? margie: it looks as if we have really put a much hit the bottom in some sectors and we should actually be near an inflection point. if you look at the market, we have the fed cutting rates

pre-much all this year. it takes a while for that to feed into the economy. we have had other central banks that easing moves this year. i think we should look forward to starting to see in the fourth quarter some pick up looking for 2020 and let about of acceleration in growth. i think the worst is pretty much behind us in global growth. the upswing may be small but i think it will be sustainable and will continue into 2020. shery: is that why we are seeing cyclical fever with the breakout of the s&p 500 industrials? margie: yes, they have had a very convincing recovery. they are looking more like long-term growth stocks. i think it reflects the fact the earnings are up. decade, they have fundamentally restructured so they are in a better position to improve their profit margins or keep them high. they are very flexible in sourcing their raw materials and their components.

i think we should look for profit margins to stay very high. i think they may will of continue to be above average for the next year. haidi: always a pleasure having you on with us. margie patel there joining us. still ahead, house democrats set to vote on whether to go ahead with an impeachment inquiry of trump. we are joined with more on that. shery: boris johnson loses his third bid to call an early election, but a december vote could be in the cards. this is bloomberg. ♪

haidi: we are counting down to the start of trading in sydney. expecting the asian sessions to carry on the optimism from u.s. stocks. building towards that optimism, implications potentially for a trade deal being signed into agreement sooner than expected.

we are getting pretty solid corporate earnings as well as fet expectations this week of another cut. futures just shy of .5% of the open today. i'm haidi stroud-watts. shery: i'm shery ahn. you are watching daybreak australia. boris johnson will try again tuesday to get parliament to allow an early election after failing on monday to get the two thirds majority he needed to push it through. that after the u.k. accepted a three-month brexit extension offered by the eu, eliminating the possibility of a no deal exit this week. we are joined on the line by jess in london. mr. johnson not giving up. he says he will try again, so how long will you need to wait? guest: we could have an answer potentially as soon as tuesday. the reason boris johnson has tried three times now since he became prime minister in july

and failed to get an early election is because the law requires he needs two thirds majority in parliament. what he is likely to try to do tomorrow is try to amend that law so he only needs a simple majority, half the house, to back that. it is looking quite likely that he will indeed get that. that proposal was first put forward by some of his opponents and they have tweaked it a bit. it is still up in the air whether his opponents, the democrats and this national --ty, will be able to upset whether they can accept that is really the main question now. haidi: what is the biggest risk then if this does finally get through? over at the moment is

a fairly simple framework for brexit, is the biggest risk is that it opens up and becomes extended again? jess: well, i think the government sees that if we don't have an election, brexit could be extended well because parliament voted against no deal and has not been able to pass any other deal. three times, they did not vote for theresa may's deal when she was prime minister. johnson's to boris deal as quickly as he wanted it. they are saying brexit will be extended either way. what we need is a majority of pro-brexit mp's in the house of commons to push through a deal or no deal quickly. shery: even if you get a snap general election, what are the chances prime minister johnson gets what he wants given how

fractured the state of the u.k. political system is at the moment? jess: great question. things are really uncertain at the moment and that is because of brexit. lastof all voters in the 10 years have not stuck with one party. beenin for decades has loyal voters sticking with certain parties, but now things like the financial crash into thousand eight and brexit means people are looking around at some of that will give them answers to specific problems. we have seen a series of electrical shocks over the last elections. boris johnson is doing well in the polls at the moment. it is becoming harder and harder to trust the polls. shery: thank you so much with the latest on brexit. you can get a roundup of the stories you need to know to get your day going in today's edition of daybreak.

products really quickly to complete on the offerings of microsoft and amazon. and to actually sell market share. idea at a we have any distant third what else they can do to keep up with amazon and microsoft when it comes to the cloud? gerrit: i think google would argue they are doing everything they can and they don't need to catch up tomorrow. there's obviously a very big market. cloud services is going to keep growing and growing. a third player can do quite well even if amazon and microsoft continue to grow. there was one comment from the ceo saying they are still focusing on actually building up their product offerings. i think you might see a few smaller acquisitions from google. this company still has to kind of build out new things. there are certain product areas they cannot even compete, that they cannot even say our product is better than amazon's product

because they don't have an analogous product. there is the sales cycle but also the engineering cycle in building the new products. shery: will any of those products include fitness tracking? any on that rumor of fitbit? gerrit: google made an offer for fitbit. google is not talking about it. we spoke to the cfo. she said it was a rumor, she did not want to talk about it. hopefully we will get some news either way on it. taylor: quickly, any antitrust concerns? gerrit: i think investors, although it is in their mind, something they are not really concerned about. they are looking at growth, looking at cost. there was one comment from the ceo about antitrust investigations, saying we think we have made the world a better place for consumers and small businesses. he said some of the new businesses they enter into, they are taking market share and 90 might be one of the criticisms. thank you.ett event,

the index is now at its lowest since early may. anything can happen, it is very hard to read this market but it is worth noting there has been some positives that have soothed investors to some extent. trade, brexit earnings out of the u.s. have been somewhat better than expected. still, the outlook is deteriorating with the fourth quarter forecasts. a brief respite but hard to say what we are going through here to the fomc. the fed largely expected by the market deliver the third rate cut this year. the big question will be where do they go from here? that is what investors will be looking for. is this going to be the end of this rate cutting cycle or fitted leave the door open for more? that is definitely going to be a big focus for investors after that fed meeting this week. move, with this risk on

we have seen the selloff of chinese bonds continue with the 10 year yield jumping the most since april. how far can it go? andreea: hi. that is right. we saw tat acceleration in the selloff in chinese bonds yesterday. it was the biggest jump in yield since six months. a few reasons for that, and one of the main ones is this expectation and this hope of some sort of a trade deal. on a more technical note, the central bank yesterday refrained from using a target tool to inject one-year cash into the system. that effectively took some funds out of the financial system. investors are paring bets of some ingressive interest rate cuts in china. all of those things came together to see the selloff in chinese bonds. also worth noting, it is not in

isolation. we have seen that jump in u.s. treasury yields, the 10 year yield at its highest. yields in australia also jumping higher. andreea with us. for another look at the charts, you can head on the bloomberg terminal. shery: let's now turn to beyond meat that has had some sizzle in his latest earning reports. the plant based meat-like company has posted profits, crushing revenue estimates and boosting its outlook. shares are down more than 9% at the moment after hours. tatiana follows beyond meat. what is hitting the stock? tatiana: it is almost like an earnings deja vu for investors because what they are eating is what happens tomorrow, it expires in six months. they are both awaiting to see if they will finally lock in some

haidi: i am haidi stroud-watts in sydney. shery: i'm shery ahn in new york. the house of representatives will take its first vote thursday on whether to support the ongoing impeachment inquiry of president trump. the vote aims to nullify republicans main complaint that the inquiry process is illegitimate. joining us now for the latest is joe sobyck. we have the white house going on the offensive saying this is finally nancy pelosi admitting this was actually illegitimate.

joe: the republicans have declared victory somewhat in this. essentially what policy has done is she is challenging the main rationale from the white house for his refusal to cooperate with the inquiry. i had argued that without a house vote -- they had argued that without a house vote and all the hearings done behind closed doors that it was not a valid investigation. the house democrats are getting set to battle over some testimony of current and former officials, as well as seeking documents. this also will set up some procedures going forward for what the house will do as far as the impeachment process, including public hearings and the eventual referral to the judiciary committee to draw up articles of impeachment. earliere also learned that senator marco rubio was planning a bill to block federal pensions investing in china. what do we know?

joe: this has been bubbling up for some time. the board that runs the federal savings plan which is the $50 billion retirement account for federal workers which includes military and civilians, they were planning to create an index fund that mirrored another all country index that included something like 7% of its investments in chinese companies. they have put off that decision and in the interim rubio has said he will introduce legislation to block them from doing that. the big concern is that the of federal employees retirement funds have been investing in companies that potentially might be acting against u.s. interests. whether it is through surveillance or spying, or otherwise challenging the u.s. economic interests. this does have quite a bit of support both from the

administration, democrats and republicans. it does not have any sponsors. it is still a ways off but it is probably enough of a threat for the savings plan to hold off action. haidi: thank you so much for joining us, joe. let's get back to the impeachment story with veteran political strategist joining us now. hoover institution director of domestic policy. great to have you with us. is there a sense we are finally getting momentum behind all of the talk of impeachment? do you think even though we are seeing record stocks hit record highs that there are people out there underplaying or under appreciating the amount of political risk? >> i don't believe so in part because i believe the outcome is somewhat preordained. republicans have always indicated that the vast majority of them are going to be supporting president trump and

voting against impeachment in the house of representatives and voting against removal in the u.s. senate. i think markets have figured out exactly where this is headed. i do think we are going to see a lot of turbulence in terms of the rhetoric and back-and-forth, but the fundamentals in terms of what will happen, that i think is relatively preordained and productive all. haidi: does it build momentum for 2020? we are hearing from a lot of veteran investors, one of the latest to come out and say i potential elizabeth warren victory means a 25% tanking when it comes to u.s. stocks. a lot of people starting to navigate the possible of a warren does. does impeachment noise build a mental for a democratic campaign? lanhee: i think the more we hear negative about president trump and the more that comes out about the situation with ukraine, those are not helpful things for its campaign, no question. we have to take a step back and

realize that for most americans, their view of dental -- donald is relatively predetermined. additional things we hear in the impeachment proceedings may affect things slightly on the margins but i don't see that impacting what i think will be an economy driven election. the state of the economy is ultimately going to affect people's views of president trump and whether they vote for him or not. in that sense, it is fair to worry if one is an investor about the impact of a warren presidency but i see that as being less likely event. first, she has to get through the primary and then beat president trump and a time of relative economic success. shery: what is interesting is polls are showing there is more american public support for the impeachment process then there was for the mueller investigation. does this change the dynamics a little bit? lanhee: here again, i think it is important to understand the national polling on impeachment is one thing.

you are right, there is more public support for that. if you look at specific state-by-state polling on impeachment -- we are starting to see this come out -- in states that are crucial to president trump's reelection like michigan, wisconsin and other states like that, what we are seeing is there is support for the inquiry. there is support for people learning more about it, but still a majority oppose removing president trump from office which suggests to me at least that is support for impeachment is much wider than it was deep. if you look at states specifically, there is much less interest in removing president trump and that gives one a sense he is still doing relatively better in these swing states that will determine next year's election. shery: when it comes to the swing states or trump districts, how big of a risk is the fact the democrats are going on the record with a public impeachment vote when there are low makers -- lawmakers that have to run in those states or districts? lanhee: this is why nancy pelosi

wanted to avoid this public vote for as long as possible because it does put vulnerable democrats on the hook. they've got to be on the record now stating whether they support or impose -- oppose the impeachment process. that will be challenging in districts where things look marginal. at some of these districts in southern california where democrats won by a very small margin. that vote on impeachment could affect their ability to get reelected. this is something nancy pelosi wanted to avoid. the question going forward is how these votes will impact the marginal members on the house side. haidi: it does seem like soonernt trump might be than quicker claiming victory, saying we are ahead schedule of signing the phase one deal. does that tell you that phase ii might come sooner than expected or is that a different amount because they are not the easy, low hanging fruit issues for phase one? lanhee: that is right.

i think phase one will get done when we get to probably the apec summit coming up in chile in a few weeks. i don't think that means phase ii is shortly after it. quite frankly, the issues that remain have always been the more challenging issues. the broader questions around intellectual property theft, policy. while systemically important to the u.s.-china relationship, they are not important enough to necessarily create more tension as we get into an election year. my view has been the president wants a victory on u.s.-china phase one. there is no real reason for him to poke the bear and tried to look for additional concessions from the chinese which could only set off more alarm bells on the trade front. haidi: is it a big enough victory for his opponents not to be able to use china? lanhee: i think the president is very skillful at whatever he might have done that is an

accomplishment, making that into something that is potentially bigger than it actually is. i think the u.s.-china trade relationship is an example of that. i would expect him to advertise it big and that would be enough to take it off the table for his opponents. shery: always great having your insight. thank you. if you missed any part of that conversation, tv is your function. you can watch live and catch up on past interviews, dive into any of the securities or bloomberg functions we talk about. become part of the conversation by sending us instant messages. check it out. this is bloomberg. ♪
