.ur next guest, matt miller if you are a traitor, do you take a position on this election outcome, whether it is top of the ticket or down ballot? matt: i would wait it out. when you get an opening like we had today, it is hard to trade. we had a couple of things going on. we do not know for sure that clinton is definitely going to win. we don't know about the down ballots in the house and senate, how that will play out. that will cause some problems with concerns about increased regulation if the democrats win. the idea is to just step aside. if you are a short-term trader, the market was getting overheated. the daily sentiment index, edges polll that -- which is a

of futures traders, they had gotten very bearish in recent days. to 10% on the s&p and less than 10% on the nasdaq. we have a lot of people on one side of the boat. you have donald trump wins, we were getting primed for a by the news reaction anyway. in the short term, we could see a bounce. in the longer term, we have other issues to worry about. vonnie: if we end up as a status quo, as in democrat president and republican senator, do we markets shifting back to central banks? will there be a reaction? matt: one of the things you have to worry about among the populace is your the situation where there has been a major election of change. even though hillary clinton was the nominee, she had a tough time against bernie sanders.

people want change. comes into ainton situation where she has a split government that she cannot get anything past, and the republican congress cannot do anything, people will see that nothing has changed. they want major change. that will be a big problem for the consumer. we are already seeing consumer stocks coming down quite a bit. consumer sentiment is dropping a little bit. i get a little bit worried about what impact this will have on the market if we get the status quo. mark: this is a chart. i don't think you can see it. we will tell you about it. one shows how markets fared day after both. and one year later. it is not an leading indicator how the market reacts one day after the vote. this is another chart that we made up. ignore that one right there. it shows you, don't assume what

happens the day after the vote is a leading indicator to further down the line. how best can we predict -- there we go. finally. lovely chart. how can we predict how the s&p looks in 12 months time if we get a status post situation? >> what you say is so true. so much of what happens first of all is emotional after the election. number two, sometimes the markets set up overly short or overly long on monday. so the initial reaction is not very good. question, as we move forward, what do we have? we have central banks around the world look like they will not be as accommodating as they have been in recent years. we see the fed looking to tighten and the ecb and boj not adding to their qe programs.

that is one leg of the stool that is concerning. the other thing we have seen in this low interest rate environment is that companies have not invested in their own businesses. it is odd. total debt is higher than it was in 2007. they are not using that money to invest in their own businesses. you have a situation where usually when you are coming out a recession, people start investing in their is this is in a major way. -- businesses in a major way. you get major next investment. when you don't get that, you don't have the foundation to build on as you go higher. that is a concern. mark: sorry, bonnie. -- vonnie. you like costco. it is a real bellwether for the retail sector and the economy as a whole.

why is this individual stock so important right now? basis, muchechnical like the whole industry had a great run since 2009, and now it has rolled back over, down almost 50%. if it follows this with a key lower low, it will show that the consumer is starting to pull back more than people had hoped or. that could be a negative impact on the u.s. economy. vonnie: all right. thank you. mark: coming up, more on hillary clinton versus donald trump as the bloomberg politics poll shows the very clinton leading nationally. this is bloomberg. ♪

mark: live from london and new york, i am mark barton. vonnie: this is "bloomberg markets." there just one day to go before the u.s. election. hillary clinton has the edge over donald trump. she is ahead 44% to 41%. that is when third-party candidates are included. conducted friday evening through sunday afternoon before the fbi reiterated the clinton's handling of e-mails was not a crime. b,en, even iflead we only have to trust the polls. it is not a huge margin. she is just sort of outside of the lip of the kind of lead

that has sometimes been within the margin of error. she is working hard. she cannot take anything for granted. that is my opinion. vonnie: what does this mean today? if hillary clinton can win the west, is that her campaign strategy? they would love to see nevada. they have seen a lot of latino early voting turnout. they are focusing their efforts on pennsylvania, michigan, and florida. they have that same sort of within the margin of error lead, but they want to consolidate. vonnie: the donald trump campaign? >> they are going to the exact same states. it is one of those days where the planes are crossing on the tarmac. the circuits are going there.

-- surrogates are going there. everybody is making a play for them. mark: what about the mood? the polls show the sourness of the mood among the electorate. does that mean we will divide the nation after the outcome, whatever happens? and will there be general distrust about the president-elect? >> we saw probably in the polls that the majority of voters expect to see the investigations and scandals in congress over the next four years no matter who is president. that does not even begin to talk about the economic malaise that has been driving a lot of this election. you have people who are quite pleased with president obama in the last four years. that is something hillary clinton is hoping to capitalize on. mark: there is division within the republican party itself. you put it out there saying, what should the gop do after the election? what was the feedback?

>> a lot of the people who are republican or are leaning that way say they want the party to moderate. it is not 70% or 80%, but it is 60%. a lot of people said they would like to see a split off or a new name for the party. million votese 40 already. when we look at this election, what will have decided the election? will it be the hispanic vote or the women vote? >> i think both of those will be key. i think the hispanic vote will in particular the important. democrats and the public's have both been playing for this demographic and hoping to secure them for a generation. a candidate like donald trump and the way the demographics the, it seems like democrats have captured the mistimed. we will know when the exit polls

come out tomorrow. that could be one of the deciding factors. vonnie: it is a treat to have you in new york. i guess because the headquarters for both campaigns are here. tune in tomorrow for our special election coverage. it is after 5:00 p.m. eastern. from 7:00 p.m. eastern, join us for our election special posted by david gura. mark: we are looking at some of the big market movers in the early sesssion. this is bloomberg. ♪

bearish sentiment returns. we are back at $40 a barrel and below. nobody wants that. even the saudi's don't want that. i think they are quite desperate or higher prices. there has been a subtle change of the rhetoric coming out of opec. saudi arabia from time to time sounds more amenable to a deal. and then they step back and say they will only do it if i ran freeze up production -- iran frees up production. and that is why we lost the last chance at a deal. vonnie: there is a rumor that saudi might even increase production if russia does not acquiesce. is this something that could be used as leverage? much leverage

otherwise. >> it could do. one has to ask the question of how much does saudi arabia want to deal, and how hard do they want to press for a deal? there is as global thought that saudi arabia is happy to go along with these negotiations as long as it gets a freezing of whichion from iran, would be a major step for iran, possibly one that is too big for it to take. i think saudi arabia itself is not going to make all the running in this field. yes, saudi arabia is the only country in opec that has significant spare production capacity that it can bring on quickly. therefore it is the only country that is in a position to say, if you don't agree, we will produce more.

vonnie: and i am vonnie quinn. this is "bloomberg markets." alan greenspan is a man who has seen a share of change in government over his career. he joined us this morning, and we asked him how the federal reserve can function in a political environment where the administrators are against the fed? andgreenspan: by statute history, the federal reserve is independent of the political system. the system has managed to function fairly effectively throughout a number of similar circumstances that we are going through today. i think what the board of governors and chairperson does at this particular stage as they have in all historically relevant periods is disregard that. chairman, i received

of -- an huge number of requests to lower interest rates. not a single one to raise them. takehat is clearly, if you what the politics are telling you, that is not the way to run the financial system. i think that you have to just disregard this. what is so interesting about where we are in the global populist movement is that this is not unique to the u.s., but we are seeing this in europe and the u.k. is this surprising you that we are having a conversation about the independent of central banks? dr. greenspan: i think it is somewhat troubling that the whole interest of what central banks do and what the economy is going to do has so fundamentally

that it is very hard to forecast what is going to happen, but i do know what the fed has to do. that is nothing. david: is there a danger in that? there seems to be a growing chasm between the elites in the economic and business world on one hand and the people who really feel disenfranchised. this is not just the united states. europe as well we are seeing this. at some point, the federal reserve needs political support. otherwise you will have curtailment of international trade and other factors that will impact the economy that the fed is trying to nurture. dr. greenspan: it is not the fed's job to put its position where we would like it to be. it is up to the political leaders of the country. it is not up to the fed to or theise its principles

central bank will disappear. if there is a concern, it is not the job of the federal reserve to change it. it is the job of the senior political figures, from the president on down to act accordingly. 18 and a half years at the fed, that is essentially what the issue is all about. i think it worked fairly well. alix: typically, if a current sitting chair is asked not to continue to serve, if donald trump is present, and if he does not ask janet yellen to serve another term, do you think she will stick it out to prove the point you are making? dr. greenspan: i think it is up to the individual. tost of all, i don't like discuss hypothetical issues when we will know what the facts are very shortly.

is thean tell you principles by which i think we and thosevern, for anmbiguously independent central bank which disregards the type of letters i used to get. in other words, if you took a how of the populace as to the central bank should function, everybody would be in favor of thing more money. we know what the end of the road is there. that is disaster. david: another important principle has been the benefits for everyone from globalization and free trade. inre has the failure been communicating those benefits to the people at the bottom of the food chain? dr. greenspan: that is basically our political system. it is not the job of the federal reserve to enunciate economic principles.

it is the job of the president, whocongress, and all those are specifically oriented towards finance to do it. that is not the job of the federal reserve. it is the job of the federal reserve to explain how markets work, to explain, for example, why free-trade is a value. it does not lobby for those particular plans, and should not. mark: alan greenspan on a break america's this morning. jonathan: -- vonnie: steve ballmer tells us tout his move from the board the desktop or. this is bloomberg. ♪
