then the only hedge will be u.s. treasuries. if there is a slowdown in u.s.rowth or global growth that becomes clear that a 2% growth economy is not lasting, -- jonathan: now some fallen angels in the u.s. i would not name the company, but there was a name out there in the last couple of weeks, an example of how some of these companies will not defend their investment grade credit rating. maybe they don't need to either. walk me through that. vishwanath: you are talking about kraft heinz. big name, outstanding debt for the name. it was downgraded by two agencies to below investment grade. what did we see? we have not seen a major reaction from the market. in some ways, the high-yield bond market -- you may hear this from tony -- has been relatively steady. withstandinggrowth in the market there. high-yield sees this as a large cap structure, high quality high-yield name. therefore, there is a path back to investment grade. jonathan: with some duration. vishwanath: you have seen some support in the high investor space. another important point, in this context,

jonathan: the u.s.as soft, the german pmi, we should touch in it a little bit, a really weird quirk. delivery times, as they linking, the number drops 50 on the subject index. then they invert it as a positive. on this occasion, delivery times have lengthened, not because demand or things have backed up, but supply chain disruption. priya: this pmi in europe did not pick up this coronavirus supply chain disruption. it is sort of an odd quirk in the data. absolutely if you look at the details, it was not a good report, which is why i am surprised with this narrative that the economy is ok and we are seeing the rebound. we have not really seen the weakness. for the chinese pmi, uncertainty around how the number is estimated, if the factories are shut, who are you serving? even if the numbers are good, i would think the real numbers are much worse. jonathan: and thinking about the prospect of rate cuts from the federal reserve sometime in 2020. let's get to the rapidfire round. three quick questions and qu

in 2014, u.s. economic data was outperforming almost the entire year and what happened to treasury yields? they went down, down, down. if you look at why that happened, it was because overseas investors bought a tremendous number of treasuries in 2014 because yields outside of the u.s. were minuscule. it is the same thing. this is what is going on. people are coming to the u.s. because you get high quality, high growth, high yield. jonathan: this is a big story. the united states and the u.s. economy to some degree can decouple from the rest of the world to some degree. the treasury market cannot. are we seeing that play out again? bob: we absolutely are seeing it play out. i was in europe last week. the u.s. this week. everywhere i go, clients have too much cash. they are looking for reasons to get into the bond market. if they are in markets with negative yields, they are trying to find that thing in the u.s. which gets them to jump in. i think the market is doing the right thing today. the emplo

what is the u.s.nment trying to do in order to balance economic freedom and national security? about 30 years, the government has required colleges to report this data, gifts that are $250,000 or more annually. the government has said colleges have not been complying. they wanted to do a better job, want a little more robust data. of course, the colleges are reluctant to do that. they say they don't want to give individual names of donors, things like that,of course, thee reluctant to do that. and do not want to reveal trade secrets, if it is other entities giving the money, rather than individual donors. amanda: we have seen universities in the u.s. and elsewhere working closely with chinese academics. that kind of information sharing is considered and do not want to important for academics, not to work in silos. could that be endangered here? janet: possibly. schools are concerned about a lot of things. they want to have an open relationship, especially with scientists, researchers and other parts o
