joining us is mark davies, who's ceo of strategy consultancy, camberton. good morning.morning. good morning. the day after the letter was delivered, a big process ahead. papers having their own take on it. what jumped out was papers having their own take on it. whatjumped out was the uk seeing using security as a potential bargaining chip. that is a dangerous thing to do. i don't think it is that dangerous. the guardian and the times have gone with it because of the word blackmail. guy verhofstadt is not really part of the process. he was not there to have the letter delivered to him. it went to don old tusk. he isjust the parliament spokesman. he has come out with this classic example of rhetoric. the rich oracle device saying something claiming you are not going to save. —— he said he would not even dared to mention he would use blackmail. to answer your question, i don't think it is dangerous. it is a statement of fact that the british have played the largest role in security in europe because of the five "i's" that are responsible for security ever since the end of

caroline: mark, thank you very much for joining us. jerry chen is sticking with me.he wikileaks founder julian assange offered an explanation on why he put thousands of files on the internet this week. >> the cia developed a giant arsenal of what appears to be the largest arsenal of trojans and viruses in the world. it attacks most of the systems that journalists and people in government, politicians, ceos and average people use. didn't secure it, lost control of it, and then appears to have covered up that fact. caroline: he is also offering help to the tech companies reportedly vulnerable to the cia tools. more on that with a roundtable of experts later this hour. coming up next, we dive into the infrastructure in this. why some are saying it's a sector ripe for disruption. all episodes of bloomberg technology or now live streaming on twitter. this is bloomberg. caroline: president trump has called on congress to find a trillion dollars in private funds for certain projects. with that in mind, we've been drilling into infrastructure all week. the infrastructure ind

this is a disappointing day for us. ♪ ♪ mark: this is "bloomberg markets."m mark crumpton in new york with margaret. let's bring in dani burger who is covering wall street leading up to the decision by house republicans today to scrap the vote to repeal and replace obamacare. who is happy and who is not? denny: there is the sentiment now we do not need to worry about health care anymore and the white house and congress is going to move on to what wall street really wants, and that would be tax reform deregulation ,nd infrastructure spending most likely in that order. but there are issues behind that. freedomcannot get the caucus on their side, are they going to be able to do that with tax reform without reducing the deficit already? there was this idea the health care vote was tied at the hip with tax reform. some people are very happy to look past that and say trump has made it very clear and public, so has house speaker ryan that they want to pass tax reform now. they said they can get it done as soon as the end of the year. that is a really big question.

joining us now is mark to tell us how the markets are positioned. we got a talk about commodities first. i'm looking at your blog. you have got me worried why no one has up until now been talking about the fall in commodity prices in the context of the reflation trend. >> commodities kind of topped out in mid february and have slowly been rolling over one by one. oil was the last victim at the end of last week. that suddenly caught the attention of everyone. the context has been moving lower in the last month. the divergence between the commodity price index and 10 year yields is slightly worrying to me. it is hard to get sustainable acceleration in inflation prices if core input prices, commodities, are moving lower at such a rate. that is something to watch out for. tracy: one thing that continues to perplex me is the movement of the dollar. normally when we are days away from a potential rate hike, we see the dollar strengthened. instead, it has been weakening or moving sideways. what is it going to take to get a dollar rally? >> the dollar is th

that is the recipe that gave us the last rally from 2003 to 2007. mark: if we don't get the infrastructure plan rolled out soon and don't get deregulation and tax cuts, what is the cutoff time? how long do investors get the trump administration this sort of pass card that we will wait? is there a point they share that if we do not have further details, we are going to see a selloff? brian: i don't know if we are going to see a selloff. earnings estimates have not come up very much in the u.s. very much unless you are counting the fourth quarter. there has not been a lot of optimism priced in on earnings. you may see some loss on the multiples. for talking about investors getting into u.s. stocks a relatively high levels that you cited. we are not quite there, but on that trajectory. you may see patients lost when it comes to inflows into u.s. stocks. we are much more likely to see stocks level out if we do not see any kind of upper catalyst coming from better-than-expected earnings growth or policy surprises to the upside in washington d.c. julie: thank

us now, jay sekulow. bill bening is with us. i think mark a really good job of breaking down the media report of this. the liberal media. but let us get back to deep state shadow government and the fact that you have all these obama holdovers, 500 people that need to be confirmed, only last week that we get carson and rick perry. all these people, all these lifetime bureaucrats and now all these intelligence leaks, all of them are a felony, are they not? >> they are a felony. you basically have unelected unaccountable bureaucrats deep within the government. the shadow government. these bureaucrats are not locked up at all with this administration. they are counter to it. in their view, they are saving the country. then you have the leaks. the most telling aspect of this, something you and i talked about, 17 days before obama leaves office -- 17 days before he leaves office, he had been in office for eight full years, he changes the way in which signal intel is distributed. since the reagan era it would just go to the nsa. they decided where

the goal for most of these students is to go to college in the us and afterwords it is more of an open question marked to the us when she was 13. in herfilm, stella porders how the concept of happiness varies between the two countries. she talks about how the chinese happiness is different from the american happiness. in america a lot of times people go to a sports game and feel really happy but in china most people just do not... there has to be some kind of basic, fundamental security... allow themselves to be truly happy and i think in some ways she appreciates elements of the american... that sort of carefreeness. maineland shows that for these chinese students, they had this idealistic american dream which is you can probably become wealthy, have a nice life here. but in a lot of ways, they are worse than china. maintandtookethreesy‘earsflrmake the direetartetsithedfiseals speak for themselves. at south by southwest, it won an award for excellence in 0bservational humour. in 0bservational cinema. i watched a famous movie called high school musical and decided 0ne austin resident who loomed large
