he is saying the jay powell has let us down. the market wanted lengthy rate cutting cycle and of course that was something that jay powell was saying we wouldn't be getting anytime soon. >> we had a sense this is not going to be trump. what the market wants to see is that jay powell is acting independently. and they are acting based on the data. --he could continue to the in between the two references europe. looking at europe's economy, this trump really want that growth and unemployment? we will have to question. it's time for smart charts. >> joining me to talk about the s&p is walter zimmerman. thank you for joining us. you have a dramatic part that matches up to and s&p chart. perhaps some are calling it less dovish others are calling it slightly hawkish. it may be in impetus for this chart to work. the s&p itself is still confirmed to go slightly higher. that's the s&p 100. on average more precise chart patterns. this one is no exception. each of these turns from here to here, textbook perfect. close tore extremely this pi

aware is jay powell leaning -- where is jay powell leaning? domestic not just the economy, talking about rising tensions. the fed watching that closely. inflation not only failed to meet the 2% target, it moved further away. with theaid, compared june meeting, since then, manufacturing, trade, business investment have all weekend -- weakened. he talked about the labor market. he was asked the question in this context, representative carolyn maloney of new york who asked. >> did the june jobs report change your outlook for whether an appropriate -- a reduction is appropriate? what's the straight answer is no. globalertainties around growth and trade continue to weigh on the outlook. inflation continues to be muted. place.hings are still in >> jay powell says the market looks good. why will that not cause inflation? tightwe have a hot, market? to call something hot, you need to see heat. we hear lots of reports of companies having a hard time finding qualified labor. we don't see wages. i don't see that as a current issue. speaking of the metaph

you don't want to fight jay powell, do you?ejra: it seems like jay powell doesn't want to fight the markets. taking a look at asian equities, we are seeing gains there. aboveci asian index is 3000, seeing the dollar weaker for a second day. pimco talking about rolling over the dollar but it depends on even cycle. the 10 year yield down to basis points. a precipitous drop in the two year yield. of repricing in the bond markets around those cuts. manus: a new record, we've cracked it above 3000. what does it take to maintain that momentum? the by everything rally, is that going to be challenged? is something more ominous on the global horizon, according to jay powell? they are saying the beneficiary could be the yen. you see the powell testimony as being slightly worrying. deutsche bank, it doesn't end, does it? nejra: exactly. more bad news for deutsche bank. we've learned the u.s. debt -- justice department investigating the lender as part of an expanded probe. joining us is sophie cameroon. great to have you with us. -- sophie

we look ahead to jay powell. the two-year back above 190, jumped 22 basis points since the lows in june. a touch of curve steepening. what's that going to look like after powell? futures flat. we saw u.s. markets not move a lot yesterday. the next direction could come from jay powell in his testimony this week. the peso took a beating yesterday. we broke through 19. weakness yesterday pushed the bloomberg dollar index up above the 55 day moving average. the finance minister quit, but was replaced. how much more risk is out there for the peso? manus: to south korea now. this is one of the big issues. warnednt moon jae-in has the country's top businesses and leaders they may be in for an extended trade battle with japan. tokyo ruled out lifting export controls on key tech components. let's get an update now. we have our bloomberg reporter standing by. good to see you this morning. >> the president has invited these company executives to warn them, as you mentioned, that this trade spat with japan will prolong becaus

we are joined by vince signe cignarella.cent one part of jay powell's testimony yesterday, he sees a lot of strengthen our economy, but boy, he is worried about the global economy. chair powell: growth indicators from around the world have disappointed. trade tensions and concerns about global growth. slower growth in the global economy and we can manufacturing around the world. weakness in the global economy will continue to affect the u.s. economy. david: i think you might be concerned about the global economy. [laughter] his you was absolutely unambiguous and very direct, which was we are here to support you. we are going to cut rates. we are very worried. even the jobs data doesn't change our view in any material way, so any sort of backing away of the expectation of three rate cuts by december, go back to three rate cuts because we are right there with you. if jay powell had wanted to give the federal reserve more flexibility, he could have, but he didn't. ,e backed them into a corner either going with three rate cuts by december or dislocating the market and disappointing the ma

jay powell is not moved by inflation data.s confidence is the biggest concern. >> the first quarter was fine, but the income -- the indicators for the second quarter are less strong. i do not see people cutting back existing plans,, but they are not leaning forward. nejra: president trump claims china has not increased purchases of american products like promised. south korea demands a probe into japan's claim of illegal exports. trump slammed facebook over a cryptocurrency. and expanded alliance today. just past 7:00 a.m.. welcome to "bloomberg daybreak: europe." we have had five days of weakness and european equities, it looks like we can and on a high. dax and cac and u.s. futures higher. s&p 500 hit a record high, above 3000, but it did not stay there. it closes just below it. u.s. equities did take a tiny bit of a hit when we got the line from president trump complaining that china has not been buying u.s. farm products. trade tensions are still weighing on the markets. looking at bonds, we have a reaction to the u.s. com

jay powell in the line of fire. president trump keeps up the pressure to cut rates as the market prices out further rate cuts this year. erdogan flexes his muscles. did turkish president fires the head of the central bank -- the turkish president fires the head of the central bank. the lira falls, equity sells off. david: welcome to "bloomberg this monday, july 8. a little something going on in france. it was a great game. aix: their second win in row? david: that's right. alix: even president trump took to twitter to congratulate the team, versus a couple days ago, when one of the women said we are not going to the white house, and he said why don't you win first. now apparently very proud. david: it was a great game. the u.s. was really taking it to the netherland for the first half, but they kept it up in the second half. alix: go team usa. in the markets, you have powell coming out in the next couple of days. drive up market reaction for this week. euro-dollar lower by 1/10 of 1%. the dollar getting a little bit

consensus around jay powell?ichmond fed president speaking to michael reporters, theo fed does not need to step on the gas. however, when he looked at what jay powell said, he did not change the message for the june meeting. let's listen -- said the same thing yesterday he has said for the last month and we said in our last memo. we do not have forward guidance anymore the memo. we are watching carefully what is happening in the data. we are looking very much on upside risk and downside risk. at this point they are tilted to the downside which is why we are looking at it. another: let's bring in fed president. he played down the need for a rate hike as well. he said in fact that -- here it is. from an employment perspective, the economy performs in a positive way and the numbers are not as weak as some suspect. the aggregate numbers look pretty good. remember the consumer price index coming in stronger than the month of june, up 0.3%. that came up before powell even spoke. that is the biggest gain since january 2

looking ahead to jay powell's semiannual testimony. >> we think powell will confirm market pricing. >i do not think he will correct at this stage. >> this is his l

as the world waits for jay powell take a look at europe.least right now it's a sea of red except for italy stronger by 3/4 of a point again, also european markets really hinging on what's going to happen today on capitol hill with the fed chairman. that's the big focus he heads to capitol hill today later this morning he's going to be testifying before the house financial services committee this is the first day of two days of testimony so what do investors want to hear joining me now is dan beru, chief investment officer at palisade capital management. dan, it seems like everyone is expecting that we are going to get a quarter of a point drop in interest rates when the federal reserve meets at the end of the month. is there anything that jay powell can say today to sort of change investor sentiment? >> i think that if he -- well, he's got to do a quarter point because it's so, so much expected i actually think he's got a good indication that there's a further quarter of a point drop in rates on a going forward basis as more of an insurance

that's why steve liesman's report is so important of what jay powell is saying in paris today. he's signaling there is external events like the debt ceiling, like trade uncertainty, that have to be factored into the equation good employment, good retail sales, but these external factors could slow the u.s. economy down, and jay powell wants to stay in front of that monetary policy as a cushion for this elevated and escalating trade situation. >> we forget that trump can get thrown out in two years, in 2020. by the american people president xi doesn't have that worry, does he open a few more internment camps. he's got no issues with staying in power, i don't think. >> that's right. so he's constitutionally protected. but serious reformers are really pushing for change here. so if the economy slows considerably, i still think he's come under pressure. and for the president, he clearly wants to use getting tough on china in the presidential election. but he's got to be worried because manufacturing is slowing, construction is slowing. those are key trump voters in key trump states

and the macro setup ahead of fed chair jay powell's speech is pretty interesting only because this isot a major selloff, but there does seem to be ratcheting down ever so slightly of risk with record highs in stocks. >> you're right. and i think that the jobs number on friday or the hiring data on friday basically suggested that now you all eyes are going to be on powell. if powell comes out less dovish than the market would like, he doesn't even have to come out hawkish, i think even less dovish would actually cause the markets to rethink their positioning at the moment. the markets have been on a pretty steep bounce ever since we started to sort of anticipate dovishness by the end of the year so it will be interesting to see what happens >> so gina, let's speak about that positioning because it sure feels as though that more bullish jobs number on friday did shift some positioning, certainly sentiment. there is not as much of an expectation now of a mastiff rate cut later this month. so tell us through whether the market has been reset because of that jobs report >> well, you know,

the jay powell upgrade economic risk assessment.ng worse even since what the fed was seeing in mid-june. rising risk, that assessment could be flying the rationale for a rate cut. in their prepared report that is going to be presented officially on wednesday, released this past friday, the fed is looking at weaker global trade, weaker manufacturing, uncertainty, these are the kinds of things that would perhaps justify that kind of insurance rate cut that jim den others have talked about. question, i big don't know how important it is to the outcome but it will have some headlines per you will be asked questions about the constant attacks on jay powell and on the fed. you should be raising rates now, etc. larry kudlow said jay powell's job is safe at the time. the fed should take back to december rate hike. inflation is still low. republicans may take donald trump side area democrats may be looking more things like breaking up big banks and income inequality and trying to get jay powell to say that donald trump is on the wrong track.

we begin with jay powell. joel: take something complicated and simple it down. the cover is an expression of that this week. jay powell, fed chair, probably the most important person in the world of finance. the financial institution that is probably the most important anywhere in the world and for a year now, he's been the target of trump's friend are ire, because trump wants lower rates, lower rates, and jay powell has basically been a stoic figure through all of that. anol: we believe this is independent organization and for the first time, we are wondering is it going to remain independent? and can they continue to fend off the executive branch's desire for lower rates? we will see what happens this next week with rate cuts. the market basically thinks there will be a rate cut. the bigger story is one we wanted to ask to dig into, which is for a year now, we've lived through the tension between trump and powell, more from trump than from powell. it is one-sided, for sure. what effect has not had on the fed? what chris got to was, not much of an effect on a p

here's the tweet, saying what the market wanted to hear from jay powell and the federal reserve is thiseginning of a lengthy and aggressive rate cycle which would keep pace with other countries around the world as usual, powell let us down but at least he's ending quantitative tightening which shouldn't have started in the first place. we winning anyway, but i'm certainly not getting help i've been test iing the official tested me two words -- not enough this is the president who feels that the federal reserve is moving too slowly and not going far enough the president expressing frustration here on twitter in the past couple seconds, the question whether his ongoing campaign against the fed for rate cuts will continue. we saul all that activity in the run-up to today's rate cut will he tun to criticize jay powell and push for even more. there's an election in 2020. this president feels like he's being put in a bad position in terms of the economy, because rates are too high >> i think you have already answered that with that tweet. >> that's right. >> i think the question is, can the p

he says moment the ago, on twitter what the market wanted to hear from jay powell and federal reservehe beginning after lengthy aggressive rate cut cycle that would keep pace with china, european union other countries around the world. the president goes on, as usual powell let us down but at least he is ending quantitative tightening which shouldn't have started in the first place. no inflation. we're winning but i'm not getting much help from the federal reserve. president wanted 50 basis points today, or 75 basis points total. you knew he would be disappointed. i guess he is. kristina: traders reacted. we saw more of a neutral reaction versus accommodative which what you're alluding to. 74% probability of another rate hike. powell answered to a reporter saying it's a matter of principle not to assume that we won't increase rates. connell: right. that reporter was asking him, which is a big question a lot of people have, which is a fair question, will you have any ammunition left? >> because it is so low. connell: his point was like, you're assuming we won't hike rates or we won't n

fed chairman jay powell. joel: jay powell is probably the most important person in the world of finance. he has the financial institution that is probably the most important whenever institution anywhere in the world. for a year now, he has been the target of trump's twitter either. trump just once lower rates, lower rates, lower rates. wants lower rates, lower rates, lower rates. carol: they have been an agency for so long. we are wondering if they will remain that way. >> the market thinks they will be a rate cut. the bigger story is one that we wanted to ask chris to dig into. for a year now, we have been living through this tension between trump and how. more trump than powell. it is one-sided. chris got to is that there is not much of an effect on policy standpoint for the fed. this will take a few months to evolve. this could be radical. shelton is nominated for the fed. we don't know how that will go nor what you might do if she gets into that seat. >> a good list -- it could last the rest of the year.

we are counting down to jay powell's testimony in d.c. are we going to get a clear signal on what easing path is going to look like for the fed? not really a clear story to tell you, but it seems things have stabilized a bit. from the liquidity we saw in china, plenty of ipo's in the pipeline, also when it comes to japan and korea, there's reports that the two sides are going to be talking. at least that is eliminating some of the risk that things could be ratcheting up. watching out of china snapped out of that slump. take a look at another chart when it comes to u.s. 10 year yields. we are watching that u.s. 10 year. we are still back above that 2% for the 10 year yield at the moment, but we have a cautious stance ahead of jay powell's speech. dollar-yen is interesting. we are seeing dollar strength coming back after that solid jobs report. closer to 109, which is not what a lot of traders were forecasting. and we are watching the ringgit as well. largely expected to keep things on hold, but there is a stronger case now given what we've

. >> the big new s the market is waiting for comes tomorrow when jay powell talks to congress but before that, we heard from larry kudlow today weighing in on powell's job security and central bank independence among other things steve liesman is here with those details. >> melissa, the firing of tur y turkey's central bank chief and president trump's consistent throats to fire or demote the chairman of the fed sparked a controversy over whether the central bank is and should remain independent larry kudlow weighed in, saying he believes the fed should be independent. >> that word independent, i mean, it doesn't mean they operate from another planet. the fed reports to congress. and that's in the constitution and the fed is appointed or the governors are appointed by the president. so i think that in a day-to-day sense certainly they're independent, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't listen to advice from their elders. >> that advice from their elders, from the president, also from kudlow, was for the fed to cut interest rates to accelerate growth, with both going further than the

going back to early mid. >> a quarter point cut is not going to solve most of the problems that jay powellt chairman powell and the rest is that they're very practical people they're not -- they don't necessarily define themselves in stark economic terms which is to say they're not phillips people or keynesians or supply-siders i think they're looking at the yield curve in particular and looking at that and saying this could back us into a serious issue if we're not careful and we have to be -- we have to tip our hat to the fact that the conditions -- financial conditions are such that we have to change our policy i don't think it's going to change economic growth the trajectory of that economic growth. >> kind of a nice chart, if you want to look at the euro which looks to be strengthening against the dollar and - >> which poses a problem for the ecb meeting later on this month. >> it's a big football actually it's a football we throw across the atlantic and turns into the soccer ball somewhere around the atlantic trench and then we throw it back who can out -- you know, sort of appreciat

certainly making taylor -- jay powell's job easier. we will take a look at the individual sector and where we are within the s&p 500. we've been talking a lot about bond rates. financials are the best performer of them all. they are benefiting. you get a lift up of the rates. these are more profitable and we will be heading into earnings season. take a look at that equity trading. it is all about the industrials. earlier it was real estate and utilities and the bond sensitive sectors. it is now about the industrials. they continue to lead the decline. if we've look up the board, we can take a look at individual movers. it is ge, honeywell, 3m, john deere. we were talking about siemens in germany because of the poor german factory orders. some concern about the economy, which does not square up given the good jobs number. i guess that is what makes markets. all over the place today. david: thanks so much to taylor riggs. coming up, is good jobs news bad news for democrats trying to unseat president trump? we talk with a senior economic

jay powell, especially of course he will appear in congress tomorrow and thursday. are getting anxious because no one knows what the fed will do with respect to rates. powell under extreme pressure from president trump who made his displeasure well-known. what exactly can we expect? more importantly, how will the markets react? hear to weigh in, liz young and optimal capital director of strategic strategy, francis newton stacy. let me start with you. i think a lot of this is unfortunately jay powell's fault. going back to october 3rd he made a comment that started the market lower. he made perhaps some moves that, not just president trump but the markets think are wrong and he hasn't been an effective communicator. so now wall street is thinking rate cuts at the end of the month but a lot of experts are saying why? >> what we have to remember, it is not necessarily about pointing at who is at fault or what the cause of it was, the market is so sensitive to policy right now. as much as we want to pretend we're sensitive to trade, all the market is watching is the fed.

we've just been listening to the second day of testimony from jay powell. he says the consumer part of the economy is strong but there are issues with the business park. the economy is being weighed upon by certain uncertainties. he stays had on his commitment to a 2% inflation goal and says there are longer physical challenges ahead. we want to bring in somebody who has presided over these hearings until recently. he served for 16 years in congress representing his district in texas and for the last 16 years resided -- presided over the house banking committee. thank you for staying with us and being patient. we do not control them. >> i do know a little bit about it. david: let me cut right to the chase. days, the markets are saying we hear from jay powell there will be more cuts coming down the pipe. i will put up a chart that shows we are talking about a cut in july and the markets are anticipating a total of three this year. is that the right answer? after two days of it is clear the fomc will be in a more accommodative stance. i would be surprised if

markets pricing for key testimony this week from jay powell. banister-- in very barry banister joining us from baltimore. where do you stand now on rate cuts? >> i do believe the fed will cut rates july 30 one, taking back that december rate hike in 2018 which was clearly overdone. the question before the market is whether they do another 25 basis points in september, taking back one year later the september 2018 rate hike which the market really did begin to peek out after that if you 2920 ande peaked at2 they raised rates soon after. the question is what happens to the data in august to convince the fed to move in september again. if you look at today's numbers, friday's nonfarm payrolls, you may ask yourself why the fed needs to put in insurance cut in place at all. barry: you have five reasons. very low inflation. we have a low forecast into next year. second, full employment. underserved, disenfranchised people are finally being included and are seeing wage gains. that is something the fed knows they have to continue. third, we have an 80

jay powell will be speaking later today.omorrow and thursday in front of congress. markets were down yesterday for a second straight day on hopes of -- as hopes of a rate cut began to fade after the strong jobs report on friday. that's what the markets are waiting for. what will jay powell say about the potential for an interest rate cut later this year? europe pine meaeuropean indicesy lower. cac is down 17 and the dax in germany lower by 116 points, 1% lower in germany this morning. asian markets mostly lower. only japan able to squeak out a gain as you see. it was fractional. the other majors down, about three-quarters of 1% or lower. growing tensions with iran, tehran is warning it will restart deactivated centrifuges and ramp up enrichment of uranium. mike pence says america will never allow iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. virgin galactic has liftoff, making moves to become the first space tourism country to be publicly traded. we'll tell you about the company's plans to go public. stranger things breaks records, find

>> jay powell will likely disappoint the market. it is quite frankly amazing to us how three months ago he our call for two rate cuts was looked at with extreme skepticism and now the market is look for almost three by the end of the year and four by the middle of next year. that is too far in our opinion this is not about an economy that is going to go into recession. this is about taking insurance to make sure that the growth path is maintained >> phil, you have two concerns for the markets. china trade deal, that that didn't happen, and the fed screws up monetary policy. so what does that mean screwing up monetary policy, not cutting or cutting too much? what is the risk >> i think julian hit the nail on the proverbial head the core pc number a week or so ago was better than expected results of the g-20 better than expected nonfa nonfarm payroll numbers better than expected. if i'm jay powell, i'd let the market down easy and let them know that it is not a slam dunk that i'm going to cut 50 basis points on july 1 i may not cut at

testimony from jay powell, moved to the dial for bond and equity markets, seeing big rallies. some of bonds adding a little bit -- ebbing a little bit. you saw the softer jobs report and the series of months, the u.s. jobs market clearly is calling. the testimony this week from jay powell will be very crucial, especially to a bond market that is leaning towards slightly more aggressive cut profile from the fed, a few of those bets as you can see here in the library, they got wound back late friday, given the softness of the jobs report. clearly july is very live if not a done deal on 25 basis points. expectations from the market waivers over three to six months as to how aggressive the fed is, but they are watching the data, inflationary problem is the big hiccup for the fed. anything from the fed wednesday and thursday over how the inflationary outlook is developing, but also on the growth upside, especially the global growth story and whether he makes any more comments that lead to what is happening in china and the trade tensions, that is what will set the bar for bonds lat

we heard what jay powell said. why the skepticism? think the skepticism gets to the general skepticism about crypto. you heard jay powell's content on that, was the fact that facebook has so much power. that is something we have all been reckoning with over the last couple of years were they have a huge user base. they are able to push people into new products. you could imagine if they aggressively try to push people into the cryptocurrency, it could create issues. , powell was talking about libra posing a real threat to the global financial system. at the scale of sais -- facebook's size, any problems would be magnified. is he right to be concerned? joe: listening to chairman powell, i was really struck by what i think is clear -- this is something that is on his mind a lot. as you mentioned a lot of the , lawmakers were asking him about it. i think in the past when it comes to cryptocurrency or blockchain or other endeavors like this, you got the impression that they are like, this is something we are watching. this is more than th

francine: do you believe jay powell is doing an ok job? should he be replaced? n chairman powell. i do. what you have are two people who want exactly the same thing, but the fed looks at it differently than the president. the president looking at what he can do to make the economy grow very quickly, but the fed has other obligations to keep unemployment low and inflation in check. chairman powell has done a good job of looking at the big extra and as he says, -- picture, and as he says, the big threats are outside the united states looking in, concerned about international economics and whether that will have an impact. i think they both want the same thing. the president has a unique way of lobbying for his position, but i think the chairman's job is safe. tom: kevin cirilli says i must ask you about the beltway gossip, the epstein uproar. ta step aside?s sen: round: mr. acosta did very well speaking for himself yesterday. he knows as much about the issues surrounding this whole issue as anybody does. we will continue to let him speak for himself and see where h

michael: jay powell right now because his job is easier. mario draghi has to come up with a plan to stimulate from a menu of choices, none of which are good. if they cut rates, they have real problems with the bank, deutsche bank being one of those. again, they can only buy so many sovereigns. if they start buying corporate, they continue to distort the economy there. they don't have a lot of good choices. the problem for both of them is they are going to try to stimulate demand by lowering the cost of borrowing and demand is not the problem at this point. lisa: isn't the definition of insanity trying the same thing again and again and expecting different results? we have junk bonds in europe that have negative yields. borrowing costs are low. is that going to stimulate anything? michael: that's the problem the world faces right now. alix: they will spend some cash. they are slashing their 2019 forecasts. time -- overall uncertainty around trade remains high. fallis the last issue to or sort of in the middle? lisa: i think you will hear mor

global markets will be watching jay powell's testimony very closely.er and president of the ankor research joins us now from chicago. jim, we just heard kathleen lay out the argument for and against the fed moving. where do you see them heading? jim: i see them moving 25 basis points. i think the risk is that they move 50 basis points, not move at all. this is typical of the way the fed rate cycle begins. the market runs ahead, prices it in. andeconomists screaming kicking, believing they won't do it, saying the market is too dovish. this is the way all the rate cycle start but ultimately, it will not be in insurance cut but a campaign towards lower yields. maybe they go 50 in the first move but if they don't, they follow-up with another 25 basis points in september. paul: we are seeing some research from citigroup today. saying the july rate cut is not a done deal. the markets are priced in at least 25 basis points. what sort of reaction can we see if they get nothing at all? jim: i respectfully disagree with citibank. it is a done deal, it is priced

fed chair jay powell testimony pointing to a rate cut as soon as july. treasuriry yields are lower in response, so is the dollar small caps and transports are weak in the session. joining us is josh brown welcome back. >> good to be here >> are you also in celebration mode after jay powell? >> i'm also in celebration mode. >> we got all but a promise of a rate cut i think in july. >> they're going to do it. i said earlier, he foamed the runway for what ithink the market knew he was going to do the thing is, i don't think it's necessary, but i also don't think it's harmful a 25 basis point rate cut most likely, the best example of something like this, that i can think of from recent history is 1995 you had a new all-time high in the stock market the day they did the cut, but it was a single cut. and a lot of the reason for that, they had done a surprise rate hike in 1994, which kind of crushed the bond market, people were shocked i think what the 1995 single cut was about was taking some of the pressure off from that, maybe also like a mea culpa, we didn'
