>> i think it is hard to make a bullish case right now. >> we do not know what is going to happen. >> as long as the dollar in yield continue to move forward, investors need to brace themselves for more pain. >> some of this volatility is a reaction function to the problem central banks are happening -- having. >> this is bloomberg

surveillance with tom keene jonathan ferro and lisa abramowicz. jonathan: congratulations. you made it to the end of the third quarter. good morning. this is bloomberg surveillance. equity futures positive .7%. another messy quarter behind us. tom: another messy quarter. the acts of foreign affairs magazine, 2022 was his fault. look where we are in this derivative story in the united kingdom. it is absolutely front and center for mobile wall street. the bloomberg financial conditions index for the united kingdom is not reversed, it was moving down this morning to new levels of restriction for the nation. jonathan: we have got a lot of problems to deal with for the global economy and global
6:02 am
markets. three straight porters of negative return for the s&p 500. i did not realize this. you have to go back to 2009 to see a streak that bad. lisa: when it comes to bond losses, the flipside is, there is no place to hide. stocks are selling off. the nature of that selloff is continuing to change. overnight, we have had a number of earnings. they have not gone far enough. that was the message we got last night. going forward, the earnings are going to be front and focus. jonathan: going to wait for price action. lisa is going to go through the day ahead. futures positive .7% on the s&p. can we get a strong finish to a rough, messy third quarter? yields lower by nine basis points on a u.s. 10 year.
6:03 am
what a range we have seen in the global bond market this week. lisa: how much has this been driven by the united kingdom? we have seen the pound ratchet back some losses. the dollar in expectation for possibly -- liz truss and the prime chancellor holding an emergency -- at the office of budget responsibility. they had postponed the report from obr saying there were other aspects from proposed labor not willing to release yet. people are getting more optimistic that perhaps the worst case scenario will not pass 111. august personal spending, the u.s. data coming up at 8:30 a.m. core pce deflator, this is the feds favorite metric to look at to get a sense of trajectory,
6:04 am
especially at a time where this is the area that may be stickiest going forward. eurozone seeing 10% inflation for the first time, this shows you how difficult of a problem this is. president biden liver and remarks on hurricane ian recovery -- delivering remarks on hurricane ian recovery, which will cost somewhere around $100 billion. jonathan: we will catch up with annmarie later. a poll from yougov, labor with a 33 point leave over rolling conservatives. this has been described as the biggest leading -- by any political party since the late 1990's. tom: i took the liberal democrats to labor, i guess they
6:05 am
are not conservative. it is the -- stunning the gap. jonathan: joining us now, andrew griffith. fantastic to catch up with you. we understand the prime minister is meeting with the obr today. should the forecasts from the ob are be published before then? andrew: the key thing to take away, the government, the obr and bank of england are working in a coordinated fashion, each doing their respective jobs. the bank is doing its job on monetary policy and market conduct. the obr is doing its job on forecasts, bringing the forecasts when they are ready to wrap in recently announced government growth plan. the government growth plan which has features about energy protecting households and businesses, how we are going to go forward on energy security,
6:06 am
building clean energy going forward. supply-side based in the u.k., it is a growth orientated plan. what you have seen the last week in each of those -- if each of those players do though -- do their job. you have seen a lot of coordinated activity. jonathan: i have seen a mess. you came out last week with a mini budget, the bank of england to follow up with unprecedented intervention to the bond market. why weren't these forecasts published alongside the mini budget last week? andrew: there was an imperative to act this time last week. it is tomorrow that energy prices would have gone up across the united kingdom. real uncertainty for businesses and households.
6:07 am
it was right to do that then. there is a lot of detail and how the u.k. government sees growth going forward. that would not have been available to the obr to factor into their forecasts. we are still waiting to announce over the coming weeks, plans for infrastructure, the housing market, some deep seated challenges that probably all of our major economies have with growth. it has been a busy week, but each of those players are doing their job in a coordinated fashion. lisa: how concerned are you about the increase in borrowing costs with some people citing a 10.5% mortgage cost at a time with the bank of england is tasked with offsetting a proposal that has not been put out but the market is responding? andrew: rising rates are a concern. we have seen that going into last week, i think you have seen more tightening in the u.s. that is happened in the u.k., as well. we have seen acres out of europe
6:08 am
today indicating they have got the same issues around inflation . what the energy package measures do is reduce the headline rate of inflation, that is something that is going the other way to the transferral. lisa: there is this discussion about not releasing the obr report earlier than the november 23 deadline at a time when the market is moving. why not just release it earlier to give people a sense of what is going on? andrew: my board wanted me to release my figures as early as i could, but they also wanted them to be credible, to take the time to reflect the information in a fast-moving world. i would want to have a review on that. you have to recognize there is a balance between velocity and being able to wrap in inflammation -- inflation. the growth plan itself is a 40
6:09 am
page document, some of that detail will be released over the coming weeks. jonathan: it is not for you to decide how long the obr needs. we are reporting now that you haven't thought to accelerate the watchdogs eco-forecast at all. that is our latest report according to officials. why haven't you asked them to accelerate it? andrew: i talked about how there is a lot of different data. people have heard the headline measures that have been widely recorded, perhaps less so with plans with infrastructure, the plan for immigration, housing. these elements, important elements in the growth plan are how are we going to finance the fiscal announcements made last friday? i think you've got to look at it as a package. when the chancellor asked the obr to report on the 23rd of november, it was in contemplation of taking into account the whole of that package. jonathan: have you asked the ob
6:10 am
r to bring forward those forecasts as soon as possible? have you told them you want them at the end of november? andrew: the chancellor will read out his meeting in due course. in the meantime, do not lose sight of the fact the fundamentals here were strong coming in. we started with some of the lowest debt to gdp in the g7. the economy is still growing. tom: andrew. i am sorry to bother you. as we speak, the bloomberg financial conditions index for the united kingdom is a negative for standard deviation. you have seen seven standard deviation move in the blended guilt price move. you have a derivative disaster. you are the city finished her. what are the regulators going to do to amend the derivative shell
6:11 am
game that caused the bank of england to bailout the marketing industry of lbi? andrew: you will be aware about the independence of the regulators. as city minister, the regulators have their jobs to do. tom: how -- andrew: in a competitive environment in which --- tom: on a seven standard deviation move, it blew up. fine. what is the united kingdom do off of the scandals of 2007, 2008 to finally control the natural greed of the derivative business? you are at the heart of this as city minister. how do we finally get our every eight year derivative blowup fixed? andrew: the bank of england is taking the actions they need to in the market right now. in the long-term term, we look at getting the right regulatory
6:12 am
structure, the shared objective on ourselves and the bank and credential regulators. one would always look at wherever they are at throughout that point in the regulatory structure. that is not the focus today. the bank has made its judgment in the markets. to your point earlier in terms of politics, we need to communicate how this country is going to grow, what is going to give people the confidence to invest, the confidence to hold the currency and the ability for the government to -- tom: two mr. ferro's questions earlier, what do you need to do this friday evening to give confidence monday that the different experts are advising the truss government of the outcomes of their
6:13 am
reaganomics-like policy? andrew: i wouldn't accept that characterization. what you need to know and the markets need to understand, we are working. we have seen a number of coordinated announcements from the governor of the bank of england over the course of this week. i have spent my time meeting investors, talking to regulators, talking to the financial markets. these are volatile times. we are seeing that in every market. there is a different speed in pace, but there is a macro trend we are seeing. some things we are tasked to do is bring forward supply-side reforms to improve the uk's energy security situation. the aberrant here is the strength of the u.s. economy, the strength of the u.s. dollar as a function of your greater energy -- tom: i want to make this clear, i believe the minister just told us it is our fault the u.k. has
6:14 am
blown up. i think that is what i heard. jonathan: we do not have time for that. andrew: that is not what you heard. we have got a job to improve our energy security. if anyone thinks a macro issue that flows in part from putman's invasion of ukraine and -- jonathan: if you can wait there, we will come back to you. this is bloomberg. ♪

>> navigating the economy toward a more sustainable path resuscitate's a downshift in the pace of economic activity and the labor market. for now, we see a deep recession, the kind we had in the 1980's or the great recession. that is not warranted jonathan: that was mary daly, the san
6:19 am
francisco fed president. months ago, -- moments ago, we caught up with andrew griffith. we bumped up against a heartbreak, a commercial break. he could not complete his thoughts. tom: what were your thoughts on that? jonathan: we can wrap up his thoughts another time -- tom: what i got there was complete lack of urgency of the moment. i know pound has recovered. seems to be a complete understanding by the british government of the urgency here within global wall street. jonathan: what was clear from that interview is they are trying to address the optics,, across as a united front, coordinated. that is not how it played out over the last week. typically, you have a budget announcement. alongside would be independent
6:20 am
forecasts from the budget responsibility. that didn't happen this time. then what would happen is the bank of england would go november 3 and provide monetary policy, that is not what happened. there is nothing coordinated about this. you've got the budget, the massive market fallout and unprecedented guilt market intervention for the bank of england. it is still not clear when we get those forecasts. we are confirming now they are preparing the forecast for the november 23 to glow along with the fiscal statement. here is the timeline. october 14, the guilt market operation ends. november 3, a november bank of england rate decision. lisa: the bank of england has to respond. if they raise rates in the meantime, they cause real pain,
6:21 am
real changes in spending habits of households at a time where the details are not out. is that the policy they have intended? jonathan: futures up .8% on the s&p. coming into a strong finish to a messy third quarter. tom: a shocking interview of the city finance minister of london. -- is observing britain, observing these crises from a prism of value, equity investment. how do you study the british economy, how do you pull this global wall street to what is a clearly massive derivatives failure? >> we are learning a lot more about lbi and how this works. it is another micro input into -- macro input into a micro forecast for companies, we are overlaying currency moves and
6:22 am
what that impact might be on revenue and costs for our companies. tom: do equities in the united kingdom enjoy the repricing and revalue we see in gilts? christopher: there are bargains throughout europe, it is probably too early for us to do much there. we are looking for companies that, in some cases, u.k. companies that are selling abroad and benefiting from price competitiveness given the move of the pound. one of those would be be audio, that sells a product that is not going to go out of style. lisa: as you watch the fast moving internationally and the u.k., europe and china, how much do you think has been factored into u.s. multi-national companies and their earnings, not only from the strong dollar but the deterioration of the
6:23 am
backdrop of other regions? christopher: this is not the first time we have seen these kinds of movements. they never seem to be fully priced in. we thought we would see a lot more earnings weakness in the second quarter, that turned out not to be the case. the u.s. consumer was more resilient than we thought. we are bracing for announcements and earnings cuts, as we begin to report the third quarter in the next couple of weeks. we will see. that is an important factor, along with the overall multiple, which we are still trying to determine for the market. lisa: everyone is pretty bearish right now. are you able -- a bull? christopher: i am adjacent bull. we have been through this before. i want to echo larry summers view, it feels like 2007. if you held on through that period, we did well in the
6:24 am
equity markets. we did well relative to other strategies. it is about finding the right business models, the right business sheets and write managements to make it through to the other side. jonathan: great to catch up, sorry it is on the short side. -- of bank of america, bearish all year put out a note this year. the trade of 2023, how is this constructive, shorter dollar, small cap in cyclical's. what do you make of that? lisa: it makes sense. if you believe that things are moving as quickly as some earnings would suggest and peripheral data, granular data seems to suggest, if we get a pause or downturn next year, you can start to expect and price or
6:25 am
word your recovery, which might be what they are looking for. mike wilson was talking about where we are in different economic cycles, the stock market as a forward-looking instrument. 2024 could potentially be better than 2023. tom: --mentioned the huge liquor complex of the united income. from sterling, a high of down 6%. dollar from a high down 23%, that shows the distortions we have upcoming starting october 1. jonathan: we have got to reflect on that intervention we had the last couple of months. the ecb earlier in the summer, facing down the prospect of hiking interest rates and had to do something about containing bond yields. we are seeing that play out in the u.k. this week. the boj has had to intervene in the fx market. china is threatening to do the same. we have got to restart and think about what this cycle is going
6:26 am
to look at -- look like. does it involve qt? lisa: will it involve quantitative easing? bullet leave certain bonds trying to hike rates? we have shifted from tightening into pain, tightening into a weaker economic cycle. to trying to spend, do fiscal spending to support households while also tightening to combat inflation. we have seen this in germany with that 200 billion euro plan for energy prices. this is the tension merging into the fourth quarter. jonathan: the policy is in conflict all over the place. that has been the theme so far this month. yields are lower by 110 basis points. we are at 369. this is bloomberg. ♪

jonathan: what a quarter it has been. good morning.
6:31 am
friday, we were poised for a third straight quarterly loss. for a streak that bad, go back 2009. yes, it has been that long. 368.42 on the u.s. 10 year. monday morning, all time low in that session. have you ever seen a range that wide in a single week? tom: what amazes me is how the other data does not correlate with a pound-sterling rebound as reported by the media.
6:32 am
the other data does not correlate with crisis over for the minister we just spoke to. jonathan: we've got a band-aid. tom: well said. jonathan: mid-october, people describing that as a cliff edge. this bank of england is targeted and limited in time. the next move on the monetary policy side is mid-november. lisa: what does the threat to financial stability look like? issues with long dated investment plans for pensions but on a bigger scale, does a buyer strike start to reassert in the debt market as big nations try to finance fiscal spending through debt markets that aren't changed? jonathan: you are thinking
6:33 am
germany. massive package on double-digit inflation. tom: it got buried. culturally, it is unimaginable. jonathan: it is happening. tom: in germany, christian scholz joins us. i have to ask, before you and i read the financial stability volume from imf, which will be published in weeks, does citigroup feel europe has financial derivatives risks of the u.k. and what is being alluded to in the u.s. when you have dutch schemes doing derivative strategies and german schemes -- this is a risk to madame lagarde on the continent? christian: the european systemic
6:34 am
risk board yesterday issued for the first time, which admittedly wasn't long, a general warning. it is very general but clear we are worried. pockets of various markets europe and beyond, energy derivatives, we know there are issues, also bond market, equity markets, volatility is a major risk. tom: how does that change the prism for the ecb launching their meeting end of october? christian: the meeting is fairly safe. the risk is ecb is going to hike. the question is 50 or 75.
6:35 am
you better act gradually to prevent major volatility. big shifts in the dovish direction don't make much sense if governments come out and support the economy in massive ways. lisa: how much are you ratcheting up longer-term inflation outlooks? christian: in the short run, they will lower headlines. price caps will reduce inflation by two percentage points in germany. in the u.k., they are lobbing off six percentage points with price caps. this is an allusion.
6:36 am
they increase the demands for energy and wholesale prices. someone eventually will pay for that. this will lead to higher inflation down the line. we are heading for lower peaks in inflation or lower inflation next year but higher inflation for longer. that poses a challenge to central banks, a credibility challenge. lisa: are you talking to .5% inflation in the euro region until '25? 44% inflation -- or 4% inflation by 2030? christian: we are still heading for recession in europe. that may be milder if this fiscal comes in.
6:37 am
it may be harder because of financial tightening central banks are driving at the moment. i still think there is a prospect whereby core inflation gets '25 back to target and the central bank, in a controlled way can sit this out. they have to hike but not massively beyond neutral. the risk is expectations de-anchor. reduce price caps, therefore the risk adjusts, with wage growth for example. but you cannot dismiss that risk. people will see if they use more gas, prices will go up and sooner or later they have to pay for that. is it spot inflation or general tricky nests about institutional
6:38 am
credibility? tom: you go to the heart of the matter brilliantly. this is the difference between germanic economics and u.s. you are suggesting central banks can amend 3, 4 years of patients in stable policy, where the technocratic u.s. are trying to fix it in two meetings. is the x-axis of the u.s. central bank flawed for you? is germany and ecb doing it more correct? christian: i think the u.s. has a more straightforward problem to resolve. there is excess demand. the economy is overheating. the fed has to regulate down. the government can help. the fed knows what it has to do. the ecb can't fix this problem on their own or if they try,
6:39 am
they will make it worse. they need the support of governments. governments can raise supply or help raise supply of energy and therefore lift supply overall and bring inflation down. the government needs support for that. they don't need low costs. in an ideal world, central bank and government would talk. government would support supply and central-bank would move gradually, in a controlled fashion. neither europe nor the fed can solve the problem in two meetings. my perspective, the u.s. has a more straightforward job to do. jonathan: bnp paribas on the ecb, they think they can go another 100 basis points.
6:40 am
they think the ecb can go 3%. do you think that is achievable? christian: i think, what i would do, put the ecb in tightening mode, and an economy which is three percentage points smaller than pre-pandemic trends, which is heading for significant recession -- that feels like taking it too far. governments are trying to prevent that recession, shelling out money to households, the likelihood it will have to go that way to get medium-term inflation down. the chances of something like this are growing. i still expect recession to stop the ecb. jonathan: they are not forecasting one are they? just yet. a lot of people are laughing at the ecb forecast now.
6:41 am
the deutsche bank ceo is talking about the depths of recession. tom: i will cut some major slack. we are moving real-time. the headlines here from your u.k. what does the prime minister do to get to friday afternoon? i am baffled. jonathan: the u.k. government will work closely with a dutch watchdog. this is about optics. unusual meeting one week after a budget. typically you would come out with those things, some forecasts. it was not sequenced that way. lisa: or for them to have all
6:42 am
the info at hand to come up with this projection. some of the markets are pretty uneasy. tom: is ob are the same as congressional budget office? jonathan: i wouldn't know. it is an independent body that provides forecasts for the government. tom: i think so. jonathan: matching u.k. and u.s. knowledge together. beautiful. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> hurricane ian has picked up speed, on a path to hit south carolina. north of charleston, heavy rain,

6:50 am
minutes ago. the basic idea was wall street was a public service. this goes back to our rudy giuliani interview of two years ago that was outrageous. jonathan: is there a difference between policy? you can have a debate about u.k. policy. it is the approach. there is a reason why institutions are shaped the way they are, why there is a sequence of events supposed to take place. it is to avoid stuff like this. the u.k. government this morning has tried to reshape the optics by constructing that meeting with the obr, respecting the independence of the boe, all those things. that is not how things have played out in the last week. tom: from the moment it was known jane would speak with us,

i would agree given where we are midcycle. there is no case for equities based on the valuation of earnings. what one should keep in mind, is what we have seen over the course of the year, is the fed providing guidance to a full rate hiking cycle, which is in my view, given 4-5 of them ended in recessions, it is forward guidance to a recession. if we have a situation where growth is slowing, with the fed's guidance, equity position has been falling faster than growth has been slowing. if you break up our positioning measures into two parts, one that is tied, based on what is happening from an economic fundamentals point of view and earnings, what you see is discretionary equity investors are positioned now for 47 in the

exactly one? is it going to happen here and now given equity market positioning? i am calling for bear market rally number five. bear markets have plenty of rallies. on average, three off of new lows going 10% or more. we saw that prior to the pandemic, on average, five bear market rallies of 15%. you just have to be tactical. we have this cloud. lisa: i remember a couple months back, you put out a forecast, we get a recession and a hard landing. 3200 handle on the s&p? or on the high end closer to 4750 or 5000.
7:09 am
seems like the worst case scenario is unfolding and many more people are pricing in a hard landing. what makes you stick with the higher end range? binky: it is then a if-then-else and what happens when basically? coming through the middle of the summer, seems to us, recession was more imminent than happening next year. depends on what you believe a recession is. i think a recession is about corporate risk aversion. if you look at simple measures of ceo confidence, in the middle of summer, some were below the lows at the time of the pandemic, which is all the way down there. really primed for corporate risk
7:10 am
aversion, when we thought the commentary on q2 earnings would say corporate is pretty clear they are not cutting anything preemptively. that suggests the recession happens later. that leaves us with the issue of what is going to happen over the next 3, 4 months. i would also point out, if you look at the measures of ceo confidence, there is at least one available on a monthly basis, and confidence axley went up in august and up again in september. it is doing what consumer confidence is doing. the fed hiking cycle will end the recession. the question is timing. the house view is around the middle of next year. that still leaves plenty of time in between. jonathan: if we go to 3000, i am
7:11 am
right. if we go to 4750, i am right. binky: it is a question of when. jonathan: not for me to say your forecast is wrong. you are saying we can rally back toward all-time highs before year end? binky: that is correct. if you look at big corrections in the s&p, generally, the levels we are talking about now, where we are, you only see basically in recessions. in a few cases when we fell by as much and did not actually go into a recession, the market regained its prior peaks in about four months. that is something to keep in mind. is the recession happening? more imminent? is it getting pushed out? ceo confidence, commentary,

7:51 am

7:53 am
about an ing transfer. the markets are transparent. hydrocarbons have been trading the way they been trading for a decade. i don't know successful that will be given the volatility we have been talking about. i do think that the government's are interested in having unified policies to protect their electorate and secure energy supplies through the incoming winter months. tom: the netherlands was 17% inflation in the hydrocarbon part of that is 114 percent. unimaginable numbers. what are the ramification if we get 90 days of 17% inflation in the netherlands? regina: i am not an economist but we are seeing major price escalation copper that is happening to a lot of senior
7:54 am
executives across europe. their energy costs are through the roof. that cost has to get translated back to goods and services and that goes to consumers and that drives some of these crazy inflationary numbers that we are seeing. until we can drive that energy cost down, they are making short-term decisions as a demand management response but we will see a lot of upward pressure on price given the energy costs. jonathan: regina, thank you. regina mayor kmpg intl. tom: it's a litmus paper, global wall street and you see it with the euro giving way so weakness. sterling on the cost of

7:56 am
fixed income is more important. i don't think you are finished there at all. that's just bond market rumor, let me run with it. that is been the problem in this market. we are all talking about recession, the bond market is not giving a bit. given the recession we talk about in america, high interest rates and all of the above, which you expect us to have a two hand on the one? lisa: the seachange where you have central bank selling their assets, it is a difficult moment. jonathan: jim paulsen is coming up we are looking forward to that.

in germany this week. equities, holding on. holding onto .25%. tom: jim paulsen recalibrated into the fourth quarter this morning. what is the value of cash right now? jim: it is nice to see cash giving a positive yield. i don't think it is the right asset to be in right now. i think things are pretty unsustainable at the moment. it is all tied to policy officials raising rates. in this country, the 10 year yield is going straight north while commodity prices are collapsing, the ism prices for service and manufacturing are falling. while inflation expectations in the bond market breakeven.
8:07 am
the dollar is simply out of control on the upside is a reflection of yields. something has to change. it has gotten too extreme. probably what changes is rate stop going up soon and if that is the case, i think the stock market is going to have a good rip yet. i don't think you will be pleased by putting too much in cash. having some in cash, a bond market that is yielding something and the cash market that is yielding something, asset allocated or in individuals an opportunity to diversify risks. jonathan: what is that call option on a rip? what is the pocket of the market you want to be president? in -- you want to be present in. jim: i look at this like coming out of her session. i would look at early cycle
8:08 am
stocks. the consumer discretionary sector. it has been most harmed by inflation. it destroys not only their operations by squeezing their margins, but the companies confident space. as it rolls over, those stocks will come back to life. i look at growth stocks particularly small-cap growth. my favorite tilt would be toward small caps which of held up remarkably well in this last draft in the stock market. i think i would have some exposure there. i also think that there are cyclicals beyond the consumer discretionary like industrials and so forth. i also think there could be a play on the dollar. i think the dollar is too high, it has to come down. i don't know if i would have broad-based international debt,
8:09 am
but emerging markets excluding china. lisa: nike is down, should you buy? jim: i don't have any particular preference to nike. lisa: i don't mean to put you on the spot. you are viewing this from a big picture since. the point i was trying to make was the risk to the downside waiting for the fed to blame. things are not breaking, financial stability is holding in the u.s.. jim: i think we are getting close to a blank. we could get a really weak economic report. we could get a really good inflationary report. more likely, something breaks. you guys are bringing up things this morning that are starting to show some cracks in the foundation. right now, if something breaks in the u.s., a systemic problem, there is more downside risk in the stock market.
8:10 am
i think the private balance sheets of the united states in households and corporations are very solid. they are very liquid. the banking industry is squeaky clean in this country and the chance of a systemic balance sheet breaker low. i think something breaks but if it is not systemic it will cause a pause in the tightening cycle across the globe and that could be a positive here for the stock market. jonathan: can you make that final point, you have the stage. jim: i just want to make one point, chairman powell wants to channel this volker moment in the actual volcker moment, the stock market after that in 1980
8:11 am
1, 19 82 fell by 27%. we are already down 25% in this country. even if we are having a powerful moment, volker had a volker moment after inflation. i don't think the two are comparable and they don't need the same approach. jonathan: we will continue this conversation at another time. the issue many people have at that view, why is it bullish if the fed stops because of financial stability concerns? why is that bullish? there's a difference between a fed pause and a fed cuffing. if you tell me the fed will pause, the right way to frame that is that the fed will not be cutting interest rates and the recession.
8:12 am
is that bullish? tom: it is original. that is the word i would put. i will say to simply as i can, what always ends up happening is you accrue permanent inflation into the economy and that is the price the middle class pays. the fancy people are protective. jonathan: from new york city, on the radio and tv. this is bloomberg. lisa: with the first word i am lisa mateo. hurricane ian is taking aim at south carolina. it is expected to make landfall north of charleston. it cause catastrophic damage in florida. the storm flooded towns on both coasts and wiped out entire neighborhoods. an unknown number of people are believed to be trapped in their

>> it looks like the committee is expecting a fair amount of additional moves this year. i think that was digested by markets and does seem to be the right interpretations. jonathan: another way to put that is that the federal reserve , president messner spoke yesterday after the recession. she said the recession would not change her plans. lisa: citigroup put this out this morning. a soft landing most likely in the u.s.. the fed will have to tighten conditions enough to lower the equity market. the fed is confirming that view and saying that is part of it and they are not backing away from a slow down may cause. jonathan: that is the objective right now.
8:20 am
in the equity markets we are up .2 5%. yields are still lower by eight basis points, 3.7% is your guilt. tom: crowds in moscow, this is mr. putin walking through gold doors and he is speaking to the assembled on the annexation of ukraine. an expert for us with great experience annmarie horton. he was behind him on this? is it the military behind him or is it a nostalgia for a new soviet union. annmarie: it is him, he is making all these decisions. he is surrounded by officials and the government. this is all putin. this is something he dreamed of
8:21 am
doing. many thought he would never do this because of the repercussions and blowback. especially given the fact that they spent 20 years trying to integrate themselves into those global financial markets. he then went for it like he did in 2014, he is doing it with these four regions. we should note, what he is laying claim to today in the speech. it is 15% of land in ukraine. that is the biggest claim of occupation of land that we have seen since world war ii. the biggest question right now surrounding all of this, is putin selling this to the russian people at the same time independent polls are saying the mobilization effort is not working. these men do not want to fight this war. you see a mass exodus of these reservists. the biggest question right now, he is laying claim to these
8:22 am
lands, this he means that they are taxed? will he revert to using tactical nuclear weapons. tom: the images of leaders of his operative cabinet including mr. lavrov. i look where we are, what is the response? it is echoes of 1938 and 1939. we learn lessons there. what can be the response of secretary blinken of the president? annmarie: we already heard the president say the united states will never, ever, ever say that this is russian territory. you are going to hear a ton of that kind of rhetoric today. whether or not it is the president or jake sullivan. all of the questions will be about this moment and what is happening right now in russia, this landgrab and you rain.
8:23 am
from the secretary of state. they made it very clear that putin, if he does go into as nuclear arsenal there will be consequences. there is angst in european countries. you think of poland, what they are concerned about is not so much if he uses nuclear weapons but if there is an accident at the biggest nuclear power plant in the area. what is that mean for the surrounding areas in these countries are incredibly nervous. lisa: we talked about what people within russia deal as this goes on. it has gotten more fraught at this moment. do you have any sense of what the pushback is like internally of whether people are starting to say this is going far awry? annmarie: there is pushback, there are protests that have happen.
8:24 am
people get dragged off to jail in you see this max exodus, a brain drain and a drain of men of fighting age leaving the country. there has been an absolute spike of how to get out of russia. you hear stories of people grabbing anything they can and walking across borders into estonia or any place that offers them refuge because they don't want to get that knock on the door. you also see this huge issues in countries like georgia that have a build up on the borders of people trying to leave. in terms of the morale, it is not there. part of the reason is because putin promised the russian people there would be no conscription. and yet, once again he has lied. jonathan: you are in a class of your own, thanks for appearing with this. russia's leader signed documents on annexation.
8:25 am
as we wait for that speech to begin in the headlines that come from it. tom: as i mentioned of the show, this international relationship is moving in real time. i don't have any punditry to add to it other then we need to apply our cutest minds to it -- most acute minds to it. jonathan: jeff currie mentioned about the winter. lisa: i wonder how much the u.s. can provide them what they are looking for. where are those resources going to come from? post 22 there will be a rearranging of the energy dominance of the nations that have the clout in the energy sphere and it is unclear what it will look like. russia apparently seems to be excluded from that. not with respect to oil and gas
8:26 am
but in respect to steel and other commodities as peopled figure out how to get around going to them. jonathan: coming up tom porcelli rbc capital markets llc from we live in a nominal world. that may be true but economics is created real terms. tom porcelli will be joining us very shortly. tom: is someone doing the real yields later this afternoon? jonathan: none of the people at rbc know about this. lisa: you are going to do it alone. you will come on a do it by yourself. jonathan: from new york, this is bloomberg.

jonathan: live from new york city this morning. fascinating headlines coming out of russia. the russian leader signing documents of annexation today.
8:31 am
the collapse of the soviet union was a national catastrophe, we heard that from putin this year. russia is not trying to restore the soviet union. one discussed result of the referendums, , russia will not negotiate about next territories. how will that be received by the ukrainians? tom: the ukrainian take is that they won't negotiate with putin. a number of days ago, i would respectfully suggest that this is history in the making. this is 18%, 11%, just shocking. jonathan: 0.3% for august, year for years 6.2. we were looking for 0.1.
8:32 am
pc core in a 0.6, up from 0.1. that is over -- month over month. your thoughts? lisa: exactly what the fed does not want to see. just like the unemployment numbers. you are seeing a stickiness in the core inflation metric that they watch more closely. you can see that the reaction is downwards when it comes to stocks and bond yields taking up on the front end. you have to wonder how much this challenges people that thinks the fed can afford to pause and afford to say we will see the weakness and struggle through. jonathan: they are chasing their tails and emboldened by an active indicator in the labor market. inflation is still hot and
8:33 am
financial risk is bubbling away in the background to the point where the bank of england had to intervene. tom: that is the derivative story and i would look for every general counsel to say, let's get the news out right now. anybody doing this ldi derivative strategy as well. let's march forward here, we have been extremely busy half-hour. jonathan: we will catch up with mohammed, jim emanuel of evercore. tom: right now, tom porcelli , chief economist. we have a technical difficulty with mr. porcelli
8:34 am
. i was going to go into his wheelhouse of wage analysis. there are under 220 thousand unemployment claims. what do wage dynamics do among slow productivity. jonathan: i read the first couple of notes. tom: you read his notes, i did not read his notes? jonathan: there is a saying in economics that we live in nominal world. but we know right now is that the volume of goods in spending, in real terms has been an continue sinking. lisa: this is what people up and saying that you see people spend on services, but that is why you are seeing the likes of nike and many other companies seeing inventories filled because people are not spending and he is making the argument as are other people, you are seeing a lot more softening.
8:35 am
the fed does not have to be as aggressive. it will take hold. you will see a natural effect play into it. if you can expand out the x access. what is the other side of that? these are uncharted territories. jonathan: people are asking right now, the labor market, jobless claims still look rocksolid. if the fed is waiting for that to break for the back off, do they risk waiting too long? what tom porcelli has said, what if earnings get dinged up that the volume of spending is declining and maybe gets work. the central banks around the world slam on the brakes. it seems pretty clear that net value add will get worse from here. that is the conclusion. tom: as we move into the fourth quarter of this year in an attempt to recalibrate.
8:36 am
tom porcelli joins us from rbc capital markets llc . it was not in the textbooks of eddington and columbia, how do we have claims showing a fully employed america? tom: jonathan, i am happy to sit by and listen to you speak my words. that was beautiful. jonathan: i can do this podcast. pay me the word. tom: i can do that. i will also thank you, i am waiting for my invite to the real yields. i love that laurie is going to beyond, she is my favorite. one day i'm going to be waiting here for that invite. jonathan: i'll take that call anytime. the point you are making is an important one so allow me to reframe it from my perspective.
8:37 am
you think this will be bolden by labor market data, do they risk going too far? tom: don't you find it interesting that when people talk about the labor market and how robust they think it is, they always go back to the report when most data, they are up 20% off the lows. the movement is what matters. if you look at the labor differential from the conference board, that has deteriorated. look at average weekly earnings, it is slowing. it is starting to slow mere 7%. there are indication that the labor market is starting to process and deteriorating and we
8:38 am
get companies that say they are freezing hiring or they will lay people off. it is important to know, at some point companies -- if you look at profits. profits in real terms. people have a hard time with this i don't know why. profit in real terms are flat. nominally, they are running it routine percent. if ingested for inflation they are flat. if the volume of spending continues to slow, what do you think will happen to earnings? when that shows up, the volume is finneas down, we know they are flat. we look at the landscape today, we feel comfortable raising rates but it is deteriorating
8:39 am
now. lisa: i appreciate what you are saying and you were talking about how the job market may not show the pain to the degreed of other aspects of the market. it doesn't feel like the fed is paying attention to earnings. they are not paying attention to stock market numbers. they are looking at inflation, can you see a case where inflation is delhi, the employment market is not showing a real deterioration that you can make an argument that the fed should pause or lower rates? tom: i love this question. on some level, i would love if powell came out and said, we are claiming up the mess made by fiscal policy. why did we generate this
8:40 am
inflationary impulse? at a base level, we shut down a healthy economy. we gave people a lot of money creating a pent-up demand scenario. we dared people to go spend all in the context of supply problems. what'd we think was going to happen from an inflation perspective? here's the thing, once we burn off a lot of that pent-up demand and once we burn off a lot of that fiscal stimulus put in place. you have this deteriorating labor market that we were talking about. you see a case where inflationary pressure can start to process the evening. that is what we expect to happen in 2023. jonathan: we will continue this information another time. tom porcelli on the latest. maybe they are emboldened by lagging indicators and not lose too much pace. a question i would ask and
8:41 am
someone smarter than me said, you camp fire what you can't hire. a big struggle has been hiring enough people. what have we seen from the big tech players like facebook, meta , they are freezing hiring. so many people are in that place. i wonder if this labor market down turn looks like? lisa: you see this with the likes of amazon.com raising salaries to attract people even though things are slowing. there is this divergence between what of fully employed america looks like and what a fully employed corporate america looks like. the prospect of a downturn at the same time, let's be clear. the fed is not just looking at the unemployment market they are looking at inflation. if it lay shin remains high, it's hard to make an argument that they can keep their foot off the brakes to try and fight
8:42 am
it. jonathan: coming up in the next hour, we will have this conversation with matt horn back from stamford. he doesn't even know he's coming on later. futures are unchanged on the s&p. from new york, this is bloomberg. lisa: keeping up-to-date with information from around the world. hurricane ian is coming ashore north of charleston today with heavy rain and potentially deadly storm surge. florida is struggling to recover after ian made landfall as one of the strongest hurricanes ever in the u.s.. entire communities were wiped out and homes were flooded on both coasts. the exact death toll has not
8:43 am
been confirmed. vladimir putin is speaking on the annexation of parts of ukraine that russian troops control. he says he won't negotiate the next territories and he called ukraine to stop fighting and start peace talks. russia held referendums in the four regions in those votes were called the sham. more pressure on the european central banks to raise interest rates aggressively. they just recorded their first reading of double-digit inflation. that is the sixth straight month he inflation number has exceeded the consensus. new car sales are expected to rise in the third quarter. a deteriorating market for used cars suggest there is trouble ahead. the resale market indicates where new car demand is headed. used car giant carmax said used car sales dropped 10% in august.

>> these price caps are going to reduce inflation. this is an illusion because what these things do, they increase the demand for energy and increase prices. some investors will have to pay for that. tom: that was christian shulz on the annexation of ukraine and folding into hydrocarbon.
8:49 am
we began our show this morning with the blistering conversation with the representative of the trust government. thank you for your comments worldwide, which particularly from the united kingdom. i close out with someone who is an expert on derivatives, marcus ashworth. i want to go to nicholson in 2018. they absolutely nailed this. they call it peak ldi. pension funds have been adding derivative exposure given the high level of edging, it can only continue for at least another three years. we are approaching peak ldi. we know this, you knew this at
8:50 am
manchester economics a million years ago. we experienced it in 2007, 2 thousand eight. why are we screwing up derivatives again? marcus: both pension trustees and pensioners are seeing the pressure of the actuarial rules work in the u.k. boasting pension funds to take evermore fixed income protection if rates go down. the irony is, if interest rates and yield rise that means they can make up where the pension will be. everyone has scrambled to get appeal. tom: this afternoon, into the
8:51 am
weekend. are they in the same boat? marcus: i will be bold and say that it is a nasty moment. the bank will continue to be around for the next two weeks. it's only been 10.5 billion so far. that is the maximum. i think what we need to do is sort out the overleveraged. it can work but not to the extremity and leverage they have been putting it through. tom: and that is like 1998. lisa: the full faith and credit, risk-free assets not being risk-free and being at the epicenter of losses and forcing sales of risk-free assets to post more collateral creating
8:52 am
that spiral. are there any other places away from the united kingdom where it looks like a become a problem should the losses in the bond market become severe or sudden enough? marcus: germany has already moved, to a repo squeeze and made it very difficult to borrow. that is what has happened in the u.k.. ironically, you can't borrow yields to short. next week, when we get a new quarter in new markets there may be a second goal of this. it should be fine. i think people understand that the immediate prices over but we have a longer time of exposure for that. there is a real problem with the u.s. treasury department. they can't borrow risk-free
8:53 am
assets. it is very difficult. you have to look at in europe and very much in the u.s. as well. lisa: there is more traditional leverage which are companies that have borrowed money and need to refinance and find themselves locked out of the market or prohibitively expensive to refinance. you have seen that in europe even more than the united dates. how concerned are you about credit risk and the inability to refinance a pockets of europe? marcus: they have had two years to drink heavily at the trough of free money, if they haven't got their financing in order by now, they should not be in business. that is a problem. they need a bit of credit instruction but i don't see a management problem in europe. i don't think there is a huge
8:54 am
issue there. it will be tighten some. what we have to move away from is the zero rate mentality. for a long time, that had been a much bigger problem. the plumbing can get gummed up real quick. if you borrow, you have to pay up, that's the market. tom: marcus ashworth, brilliant as always. lisa, i have 14 ways to go to close out the hour in what i would suggest is boy, we have a lot of data next week. where are we a week from this moment? 20 minutes after the jobs report. lisa: we got two data points this week, point saying that the
8:55 am
fed has more work to do. jobless claims came in lower. the core pce metric came in hotter than expected. seeming to signal there are problems here and read speakers coming out that a slowdown what cut it. they want labor market destruction to some degree and they want to see inflation come down. they are not seeing either of those things which poses a huge problem for them. tom: it is fascinating the moment we are in in this third quarter. i did not expect this at the end of the second quarter. on the derivative mess, i went back and looked at youtube videos of efforts for liability driven swap trades from two years ago, four years ago, five years ago and they are charming in their marketing certitude. this is a huge, embarrassing story for the derivative business. once again, the water ran out
8:56 am
and people were wearing swimsuits. lisa: when you have risk in risk-free assets. the instruments you posted as collateral are the same insurance you have to sell to create more collateral creating a price spiral. the main mechanism of the global financial market. tom: we give you the best voices we can from the global, american ramification of what is going on in the united kingdom. futures are up seven. there is just a churn in the market, sterling with a little bit of a lift11074. stay tuned for reports about putin and russia. this is bloomberg, good morning.
