in the 1930's, john williams applied similar ideas to stocks. he said to look at dividend through time and discount them back to the present. today we know that dividends are a poor proxy for what you care about, the free cash flow that a firm generates. john williams's insight was to involve logic to the public markets. just as the theory of asset pricing began to develop, he gained a better understanding of risk. that is to say, what does it actually mean to be diversified? how do i know a collection of assets are actually diversified and diversified against what? we learn from theorists like william sharp in what became the famous capital asset pricing model to distinguish between what we call systematic risk, the risk that comes to your portfolio from macroeconomic shocks, and idiosyncratic risk. diversified portfolios are one composed of lots of little bit -- bets that have nothing to do with one another. if your bets are cornered with a macroeconomy, you have a lot of risk. these insights lead up to today's investment strategies that look

earlier this week, two other centrist fed presidents john williams of san francisco and dennis lockhart of atlanta mentioned april as a possible month for a hike. to be sure, yellen herself didn't rule out a hike next month at a press conference last week. >> every meeting is a live meeting. april remains a live meeting. and we will be tracking incoming data it. it's a slightly shorter period. we have six weeks but there will be additional data on the labor market and on various factors that pertain to inflation, so that's, you know, that is certainly a live possibility. >> reporter: but during muf e rest of the press conferences, she rang a more dovish tone. the fed's policy statement did as well. raising the level of concern over global economic weakness and declining to say whether the risks were balanced for stronger or weaker economic growth. the market which had been pricing at a june rate hike decided the next hike was most likely in december. the fed's hand in april, the very easy policies of the european central bank. another fed rate hike could renew strength in the dollar whi

but john williams was speaking about this edit want to play for you what he said. >> movement in the stock market have proven to be unreliable indicators of what the u.s. economy is doing. in fact, there is a disconnect between the stock market and the multilayered complex u.s. economy which, as i pointed out before is in the service sector and not in the manufacturing sectors. betty: if you take his view, you should ignore what is going on in the stock market. dubravko: over the short-term, they can be very volatile. look what happened last year. so absolutely, you should not be too reactive. but historically, the market does lead a lot. you have a negative market with high volatility. eventually, this will spill over into the economy. i don't think we need to focus on what the market is doing. that over the long term and not short term. it does remain elevated in the next coming months if equities remain pressured. i think people will take into account. s-bujas,: dubravko lako thank you so much. always great to get your views. and you can tune into bloomberg for janet yellen's spee

john williams echoed the dovish tone struck in the march meeting.riday jobs number expected to ship unemployment to an eight year low and an additional 200,000 jobs are likely it convicting messages about the fred -- fed hike pat. hike half. this is always confusing. you have a dovish and yelling -- you have a dovish janet yellen. guest: almost every data --eased at this point payrolls. we have contraction in the earnings data. looking for to friday, it is the earnings data that is key. for me, the marginal swing voters looking toward that april decision, the june decision, will want to see the eyes of wage inflation before their content to move rates higher. francine: how much do they look at? how much do they look at what is happening in china as a message they need to start mobilizing? simon: if we were having this conversation five is ago, they would not be looking at it at all. what is apparent in the meeting, how the u.s. economy simply cannot be coupled and other central banks who are all pretty much in producing territory. therefore the fed

the political instability in brazil at this minute, john williams said that they were talking about howrazil was in ineefe -- was a key factor addition to china. how does the fed position around political turmoil in emerging markets? the statements we saw from chair yellen today are appropriate. they increasingly are realizing the we are nearly globally integrated in the economy and to set policy conditions solely on the u.s. unemployment rate and inflation is inappropriate. the federal reserve has acknowledged that as they continue on. yearse first time in 15 the gap was going to be the smallest between devout market growth and emerging-market growth. in large part because of the slowdown in china, brazil, russia, and so forth. we see that as a trend and ironically the developed markets, u.s., japan, to a lesser extent the deleveraging that they went through, painful over the last several years is actually providing the marginal growth to the world economy and i think that that's something that the investors are still grappling with. betty: are we going to see more central-bank easing?

it would be better with some john williams sound track next to it. wouldn't it. >> i think it was good on its own. >> the fourth of july is still a long ways away. but this year's april 18th tax deadline is quickly approaching. > it can't come soon enough for people, right? wrong. but especially if you're filing your return electronically and you have been hacked before. we have a warning for you. if you got hacked last year and a victim of tax return fraud, it could happen again and make your life even more miserable this year. >> reporter: as millions of americans are preparing to file their taxes, a warning. >> there's an issue with your federal refund and it's been >> reporter: the growing threat of tax return fraud happening to victims not once but twice. >> you're the victim of fraud again this year. what was your reaction? >> i was angry. i was so angry. >> reporter: last year, hackers grabbing michele quinn's refund divert it to a bank account that wasn't hearse. this year crook beating her to it again filing a fake return. >> how much is thi

and fed speak, fed president john williams says the u.s. economy is doing in his words quite well. in an exclusive interview with cnbc asia, williams suggested that it's preventing the u.s. from returning to normalized interest rates. >> we understand we're in a global community. what happens in brazil or china, what happens in asia or south america has a huge impact on the u.s. economy including employment and inflation goals. so, we have to take that all into account and how it impacts the u.s. economy. we also need to be cognizant of the fact when the fed acts it affects the global economy. understand those feedback loops and all of the ramifications. >> we'll see what he says about how resilient the u.s. is in the face of economic developments overseas. >> yeah, i think if we look at three main takeaways from last week for me. one pretty simple, the volumes are pretty low. two there was resilience, yes, we snapped back in a five-week winning streak. we only declined by a percent or so. >> less for the emergencies. >> third, the major take-away is the fed confusion at the moment

you had john williams, the head of the federal reserve bank in san francisco coming out and talking aboute's watching china and brazil. seems like every few weeks there are different metrics. how can you really tell what the fed is focusing on? >> -- art: the fed is operating in a global economy now. , northployment is full of 2% inflation is inflation. we really have to walk that back and look at things in the context of what might disrupt economic progress in the united states. when he was speaking, the fact that we keep an eye on brazil, he speaks to that towards the end of -- do we want the dollar to be too strong? do we want the dollar to be overaggressive? whether it is in emerging markets or in china in general. i think that that is the piece that has changed over the last 10 to 15 years. carol: cover to do your job, the cost of that? -- tougher to do your job, the cost of that? art: it is, but if you look at the fund futures at any point in time the market has done a better job of predicting what thefed has done. they just got up to what the market has been telling folks, probably

how we wait with the central bank -- john williams is not a voting member. how much should we wait with nonvoting members? do we somehow discount their views because they are not voting? simon: it depends on the track record of what they have said. how accurate has that been? they aren't nonvoting then they are not going to have too much effect. it is interesting to take lots of different information, but you have to decide what do you focus on, give credibility to and discount. -- i've much of your seen a couple of headlines so we will come back. egypt air is confirming that flight ms 181 has been hijacked. we will see a statement come through shortly. let's talk to our middle east editor, elliott golf can. kine.liott got was an: wednesday and it internal flight -- we understand it was an internal flight from alexandria to cairo. the plane was hijacked and landed in cyprus. read about an hour ago. there are different reports coming out -- cyprus right about an hour ago. there are different reports coming out. saying thereorts was one hijacker. television, i

manus: john williams from san francisco morning again about the global ramifications in brazil and china theys be a train will try to use this language from holding back from having us a clear view? guest: in terms of the global slowdown? for sure. they have tried to do that in the past. needs to bestance extremely cautious. from that perspective, they would like to see some accumulation of alcide surprises in the price front, wage growth included in order to pull the trigger and pull it more aggressively. manus: that has been hard to come by. expense wassumption disappointing. i am fascinated by your notes. inflation data. in europe. there are many voices out there calling for parity but more like $1.15. more q we starting on friday. you would actually need to see another 26% of european gdp slapped on top of that before you can begin to think about demolishing the euro back to parity. guest: we should not be coming up with numbers. nice round number. the question is -- you have to look at history. historye the point that may not always be the best guide for the future. that is a fair p

hawkish comments coming from john williams and dennis lockhart. let's get to bloomberg first word news. >> good morning. the yields on 10-year u.s. treasury's grows the most in more than a week yesterday. that was after two federal reserve officials suggested the central bank may raise interest rates as soon as next month. >> there is evidence by the economic data to justify a further step at one of the coming meetings. a further step in raising rates, possibly as early as the meeting scheduled for the end of april. >> the european central bank and the bank of japan are essentially trying to push down the value of their respective currencies with the use of negative interest rates. that is according to the view of mervyn king. >> the central banks are trying to push down the exchange rate. are countries in the world saying, if the rest of the world was going normally, we would be fine. what is left? push down the exchange rate. not everyone can push down the exchange rate. most countries are trying to do that at the expense of the dollar. now the

for instance, john williams of san francisco, dennis lockhart of atlanta, james bullard of st. louis, and ester george of kansas city all have said in the past week or so that an april rate hike is a possibility despite the headwinds. i will tell you, wilfred, after that speech that janet yellen gave yesterday at the economic club of new york, she took control of the message. almost in a way that she has never done. she gave a detalted and firm view about why caution is warranted. investors should be listening to her, not to the other noise. that was pretty much her message, i think, yesterday. >> well, she took control until we hear from more of the voting members again. the votes are equal in that sense. we'll have to wait and see. >> but they're not. the board backs her. she is the chairman. >> she's the chairman. there's other people, though, that have similar sort of weight in that sense, who are on her page. that's why this matters. i do still think there is division in the ranks. i don't expect it will go the whole way through this morning with this continuous dovish sta

. >> how can john williams talked data mighthis cpi be a mirage? we're not seeing much energy to the inflation pressures that are there. >> they look a lot at the core pce. that is kind of in the ballpark of 2%. i think they are looking for cover to begin to raise the fed funds target rates again once or twice more this year. they are out of sync with the other central banks. those other banks are cutting rates into negative territory and providing liquidity in the system. jonathan: what i found fascinating was the argument that the federal reserve was going to run monetary policy hot. the last couple years they kept promising they would be gradual with rate hikes. now we are in a position where they are saying, sit tight. and if that happens, they can hike and push inflation back down. what does that mean for financial stability? >> that means it is possible for financial stability -- jonathan: they have to hike aggressively. >> they know that can work. if things overheat on the economic front, they can raise 50, 75, 100 basis points if they need

john williams is also speaking in singapore at this hour. dallas fed president rob kaplan will be in front of the mike this afternoon. so a lot of fed folks to hear from. >> maybe we'll finally get an answer out of janet yellen on this debate raised by the hawks last week. >> we'll see whether they're all in the same place now. the monthly s&p case-shiller home price index is out. that's followed by consumer confidence. finally, a former partner at pjt partners, formerly blackstone, has new been arrested on charges he stole $25 million from investors and tried to take another $70 million more. he posted bail of $5 million on criminal wire and securities fraud charges. he was an employee at park hill group, which is owned by pjt and is that spinoff of blackstone. pjt has fired him and initiated an internal investigation. shares tumbling on that news. who wants to play anchor right now? anybody? >> sure. i'll take it. in corporate news, yahoo! has set a deadline for april 11th to submit preliminary bids for its internet business and asian asse

when you hear more hawkish members of the committee like john williams, they are concerned we could see some catch up and that could happen quicker than we expected. that is the risk they are taking. alyx: when you have a look at the data and inflation today, the lumpy data of personal spending and the other data that has been relatively soft, does that mean some kind of victory lap for yellen or not so much? michael: i don't think you want to declare victory over soft it validated think some of her concerns which led her to be more cautious regarding rate hikes. i would suspect that relative to a week and a half ago, there is nothing that would make her -- not much that would make her less concerned about the trajectory of growth. after today, being marked down for the first quarter. does not feel like this great momentum heading into the second quarter. she probably -- those concerns of hers are validated. alyx: the other part that has been happening in the economy, port -- corporate profits down 11% in the fourth quarter. it is really down still over 7%. on the flipside you have the
