a guest who was sexually harassed as an employee must be ejected from the property a mediately they also hope to convince management to equip workers with remote panic buttons persevere threats unite here has pushed a campaign to make consumers aware of the risk for workers who must enter guest room often alone to do their jobs and incidentally a little fact the marriott empire actually began not too far from our studio here in washington d.c. with a nine stool root beer stand all the way back in one nine hundred twenty seven j. willard marriot and his wife alice next opened hotels just across the potomac river in arlington virginia. and as noted oil prices are up seven percent in a week and thirteen percent over the past year prices have not been as high as yesterday's close to twenty fourteen a number of factors may be fueling the surge including reports that mr trump state department will demand that european allies and all oil imports from iran by november fourth or face u.s. sanctions whether mr trump is affective or not it will certainly irritating offend
12:31 pm
allies who are already fuming about his decision to sabotage the nuclear agreement with iran brokered with the help from european allies as well as russia and china and while ministers of the organization of petroleum exporting companies opec countries rather opec and others reach an agreement last week to increase production some market watchers clearly think the additional supply may make a difference so for more on this we turn to raji horner again the futures and currencies expert at simpler trading who joins us from new york rajiv thank you as always for being with us we sure appreciate it highest prices since november twenty fourth ten for. what's with this spike price. this spikes been taking off ever since we saw the opec decision to only increase production by approximately four hundred to six hundred thousand barrels maybe some upper estimates of eight hundred thousand of course the russians are looking for a million to a million and a half so this is far below that number and oil is taken off like
12:32 pm
a shot in response to it and a senior state department official said they expected the other nations will actually cut imports from iran by that november or date and and one do you think that actually will occur and to what might that mean for prices well i'm not looking for complete compliance with zero percent and we're looking for turkey india china to comply and even if they were to comply to a certain degree i do what we can factor in is probably about a million to maybe a million and a half barrels coming sort of offline if you want to view it that way with the two and a half million barrels per day that iran has out into the marketplace assume a million and a half of it is no longer going to find a home in china or india or turkey so i think this is going to continue to be more reason for oil to start to head to that magical ninety level and maybe even beyond earlier this week roshi spent some time with the russian energy men minister and we asked him about oil and i want to play his response and get your reaction on the
12:33 pm
other side. sort of but the ministerial meeting held in vienna on saturday we agreed to let opec and non opec countries raise output by one million barrels per day and go back to the initial production levels outlined in the december twenty eighth sixteen agreement right now we are exceeding our conformity levels by almost fifty percent and we decided to go back to the original quarters set out in the agreement so that production adjustment would again stand at one point eight million barrels per day instead of two point eight million barrels per day that we have now and so we can increase production by one million barrels a day they probably want to increase all the production they can now that prices are up what do you make of that statement. well if we're going to see that iran may not be somewhere where china india and turkey can go they'll gladly go to the russians that makes perfect sense the russians have been against keeping these production cuts and when you look at where oil prices are you know they could probably say there's some justification for it and so ultimately what we're going
12:34 pm
to find is saudis and russians will probably find a happy medium as long as oil continues to head up saudis will probably still entertain the idea of russia entering opec and as long as we're above seventy to seventy two dollars which we're well above right now there are a ramp to i.p.o. the saudis aramco i.p.o. it's probably fine for another road show at the end of this year and beginning of next i think it's going to be a balance and i think we'll see how long opec will let the russians continue to increase output of course they're only agreement is one as a non opec members so right now it's actually what the u.s. has asked an increase in production you know i want to show interest in everything you say i want to take half a step back so you know russia as you say not opec member but they were part of this agreement a couple years ago and they seemed to then actually be sort of leading the effort with the saudis going into it but as prices climb did they see the russians that is
12:35 pm
or did they see you know the u.s. sort of making up for that production cut with shale and everything else we were doing here and the russians saying geez you know we're missin out here is prices are going on i mean now they seem just raring to go is that how you read it or missing something. i think that's definitely a part of it i think the russians now as well as the u.s. even though we have increased shell output out of out of texas the permian basin is absolutely just pumping oil left and right we have no way to actually get it to market as effectively as officially as we need to to become that net exporter that we probably will become even in line or ahead of russia within the next twelve to say eighteen months so really we have an infrastructure problem here and the world knows it so we're actually seeing more abandoned wells drilled but not going to be utilized and this is actually been a boon for refiners i think there's an interesting story there as well i want to talk with you about better sub point we also saw the u.s. energy information report yesterday that supplies have actually fallen by nearly
12:36 pm
ten million barrels and how does that play into all of this i mean i suppose it's just a zero sum game right it is and it's interesting when you see the crude oil draw down and you see the build up expected build up in gas the reserve blends stuck when you see that way the way the seasonal rally the drunk driving season rally has continued to be something that traders are expecting to see these kind of build ups in gas i think refiners are going to continue to be pumping this gas out but this season all that we typically see starting in february has wound down here now in june and july so that that typical buildup that we would see should start to level off but right now refineries are having a blast they're having an absolute field day with the difference between the brant and the w t i spread oh no they love trade thing and you're right in the middle of it i do want to have you back some time soon and talk about refineries in general and pipelines also horner futures in currencies expert simply trading thanks for
12:37 pm

12:38 pm
tenor of political discourse appears to be the turning point if you don't agree with the left you face insults harassment and even bile and. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and sorry guys. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spend the student twenty million up one player. who it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great to want more chance with. the base he's going to take.

welcome back there is more fallout for india from the smoldering traded terror of conflict between the united states and china yesterday we reported on india's measured diplomatic response to the drama well today currency watchers were noting the rupee's fall as it approaches a record low on wednesday the indian currency closed at sixty eight point six to the dollar the rupee's low record low against the dollar is sixty eight point eight percent nearly five years ago along a currency to fall of course as a well known effect and tactic to support exports by making them relatively more affordable in receiving nations with stronger currencies while there's no evidence that the indian policymakers have taken action to cause the slide they are unlikely to make moves to stop it. a raid on the home of an accused former prime minister in malaysia has yielded a record confiscation of what authorities say are ill gotten goods the raid on the

12:43 pm
a recession since one thousand nine hundred ninety one that's world lettered for developed nations tell us why that is well you know it's pretty amazing i mean think about that one thousand nine hundred one i could have even said bart google it back then because you would have known what i was talking about twenty seven years is a very long time i think a lot of it comes down to how very prudent the central bank has been in australia the reserve bank of australia has never veered into into the zero interest rate territory into negative interest rates they've never they've never even flirted with quantitative easing buying bonds to prop up the economy so they've relied last on the creation of debt to to to generate prosperity and economic growth than a lot of their develop market counterparts and i think that that prudent has paid off in this world record that you just mentioned again twenty seven years since one thousand nine hundred one so they've operated in
12:44 pm
a pretty really sort of you know hands off fashion but you also talk about china that they have a pretty unique and symbiotic relationship with china the aussies do right. they absolutely do you know there's the proximity and the fact that australia is so rich in iron ore in anything that you could name that the chinese have consumed has been tremendous for that economy you know the statistics are mind boggling but like a third of australian exports twice that of what you know what goes to the great britain united states head straight for china's shores and it's not just that the money comes both ways wealthy chinese investors have plunked a ton of money into australian real estate they send their kids to australian universities it's twenty five percent of australia's tourist revenue comes from
12:45 pm
chinese visitors to the country so as you brought up the word that i used earlier when i wrote this piece in that it is a very symbiotic relationship and is part of the den you know maybe this may be an elementary question but is part of it just geography and how close the two are. well that certainly is beneficial in terms of mitigating transportation costs but again think of the mining industry in australia there's always going to be and always has been this tremendous demand for what australia exports but then you have china building out something equivalent to the united states industrial revolution which took place over maybe a century's time and they compressed into twenty five years so it was it had more to do with the rapidity with which china was growing its infrastructure out and its factory sector out and the fact that australia was there and capable of supplying whatever they had of course that's changing right now and that is opening
12:46 pm
up the australian economy for the first time in nearly three decades to serious vulnerabilities and those vulnerabilities danielle i mean what how are they going to deal with those i mean you've talked about the central bank but what other challenges today have and how they deal with. well this will present tremendous challenges first and foremost to their housing sector. you know wealthy chinese people coming in and buying up real estate is wonderful on the upside but when that trend reverses it's absolutely toxic and we know that the major all of the major markets in the australian economy all the major housing markets are nosebleed territory and it's also pushed australian households to borrow more than they can afford in order to get into housing they're competing with these foreign investors
12:47 pm
if you can imagine at the peak right before two thousand and seven the financial crisis debt to income here in the united states is about one hundred thirty percent in australia bartok it's pushing one hundred and ninety percent households are very vulnerable to what's to come and danielle i want to before we leave i want to ask you about something you wrote in your i guess the daily commentary piece and in the daily feather on another trip topic regarding trade and i want to ask is sort of hard to tell at this point what impact the trade and terrible war may be having but what should we be looking at as any early economic indicators and what should we consider to be sort of benchmarks for judging future success or maybe not success. but we're going to have five hundred examples coming at us with both barrels loaded pretty soon the minute we see this next earnings report start start to happen and we will hear c.e.o.'s and c.f.o. of those wailing and lamenting about increasing input prices how much more raw
12:48 pm
materials are costing them and the fact that it is squeezing their profit margins bart if if companies cannot pass along those price increases that they're stomaching to end users to consumers they will have no choice in the face of spiking inflation they will have no choice but to push through layoffs so there's a it's a cycle bart and if you have companies that have profits that are going down they won't stand for that nor will their shareholders and they will find an alternative way to cut costs and that's a nice elegant way of saying layoffs that's what can be building down the pipeline i think that that is where some of the anxiety in the bond market is reflecting. as we look out into the second half of this year you know we spoke about that with you the other day in a very very insightful i will be looking at these numbers danielle just last saying you know we do get your daily feather here at the office and appreciate it where can people find the you and quill intelligence it's pretty easy it's quill
12:49 pm
intelligence dot com died on the range i haven't even had a subscription model for a month now and it is going gangbusters so new york stock exchange floor readers from all over the world it's doing really really well thank you for mentioning that part well it's always nice to see a friend of the show do well danielle de martino both the author of set up where the federal reserve is bad for america and the c.e.o. of quill intelligence thanks daniel thank you. whole world is watching with bated breath it looks like the u.s. is moving forward into a major trade war with rivals and allies alike the trip administration has roiled markets by threatening and then backtracking on various restrictions just yesterday mr trump dropped the idea of blocking china's ability to invest in the technology
12:50 pm
sector but what kind of effect does this have on markets globally joining us from anglo it is they must long the chief market analyst for think markets name thank you for joining us we really appreciate it you know we know that here in the u.s. the dow has been moving up and down and we looked at the other day we covered the asian markets were seem to be tumbling but where are we on global markets generally and what or how are they reacting to these sort of trade tantrums. thanks for having me but if you allow me i'm just going to comment on what you said earlier and it's a big that yes u.s. good always somehow better and chinese it makes me into u.s. companies but remember we have a just stop another major in a way to market one of our rising which is your eyes your market initial point offering and the blocks in technology so even if the u.s. says that ok china cannot invest in the u.s. technology that expected the why because china has many other opportunities on its
12:51 pm
doorstep but it getting involved into that now the answer to your question precisely i think trade is massive me. underestimating the entire impact of this war because what we see is that once trump makes an announcement whether it is through his special back then i don't eat it or we see a big panic in the market but then treat this as to shake off all these concerns because they nor trump isn't going to do this full blown play of war it is more of a tactic or so hence the things becomes an. comes back to normality and what happened is that dip that you see becomes an opportunity you know i'm glad you said that it was as certainly as a discipline i also wanted to ask you name so you know i just wonder if you know mr trump i know you're not like a u.s. political analyst but you watch politicians all over the world i just wonder if
12:52 pm
there is any deal with china or with mexico or canada if there's really any deal that mr trump might support or perhaps as he positioning himself more politically as a you know a friend of the working person and you know all of this which just seems to isolationists to me but is there any deal that you think this president might accept my. it's very difficult to say. that he is the king of making deals right but we haven't seen anything which is all it all of which in other words is going to be really food i have to yield for the u.s. economy long term the key is the longer term in a short time you may see some victuals and of a job of a manufacturing base but in the long that these trade wars. that the route that is taken it is an extremely issue can be dangerous trap. well ok so let
12:53 pm
me ask another thing so let's let's consider the fact that traders you know they they they bet on the come they bet on you know innuendo and in the stock market not on insider trading but in the market i used to regulate they base it on almost anything a secret something they hear in the wind the smell of something they're always out there and they're trying to be ahead for the next thing they want to get that little alpha that they can get and so normally if you'd have an announcement of a government with the possibility of a trade a quarter or something but everybody would trade on that thing my question to you i am is if there is some announcement of it and some trade accord let's say with china will market participants go ahead and invest like they traditionally have or will they say it doesn't mean anything we've seen this before mr trump will back away from the deal how will they react to a potential deal with china. i think.
12:54 pm
china would actually be a good idea if that happened because that would need that element of the. market or a piece from traded stocks red. flashing or that was. more so i think from a global trading. back a it would be said to me a very good idea if anything along those lines and when we look at these markets like shanghai then and then the three hundred composite over there that have taken a downturn recently and we think that's only temporary and or is this you you wonder if it's a trend that will continue for the next several months or until this thing gets turned around the trade war that is i think.
12:55 pm
it is that. i would think it is the time for it but i think it's making over in china and also most importantly in the u.s. it's all because of the economic data so they hate us for the force the growth slowed more than estimated and the main reason behind it because do you miss. it is nearly five years. that is the kind of trend if we had built up whether it is in the u.s. in china then we would be a big correction along now i am also on the chief market analyst for think marcus is always wonderful to have you and your expertise on the show thanks name. thank you. ken before we go on a programming note we will be joined by chris martin says a peak prosperity dot com to talk precious metal tomorrow you're not going to want
