earningsways is an morning. warning. analysts were looking for decline of 1.5%. it says its loss in the second quarter was as much as $.22. analysts had been estimating a profit of $.15, pulling down the other sporting goods chains. if we have time to take a look at a quick chart that compares the earnings outlook in the u.s. versus europe, this is an interesting one given that it is earnings season for both areas. the s&p 500 are earnings-per-share forecast here in white. we got the stoxx 600 in blue. the s&p, and there he, is looking a lot better. it is also looking more expensive, of course. it's price to earnings ratio is

on top -- on the bottom, i should say. it will be interesting to see how that plays out, vonnie. perhaps tooctations high? we will see. vonnie: we are kicking it off with that at least, but there are a lot of companies reporting. let's check in with courtney donohoe. courtney: president trump's son-in-law is denying any -- with russia. in a statement, jared kushner said he had four meetings with russia during or after the election, but they were not -- and a single tweet, president tweeted, myd -- aunt the committees and investigators looking into crooked hillary's crime and

russia relations? petersburg, russia, saudi arabia has emphasized its commitment to ending the global oil glut. the saudi zen other oil producers are meeting to discuss the deal to curb production. the saudi promise deep cuts. in the u.k., the parents of the baby charlie are dropping their legal bid to send him to the united states for spare mental treatment. their lawyer says they are withdrawing their appeal saying charlie's treatment should end. 11-month-old suffers from a rare, genetic disorder. i'm courtney donohoe. vonnie: thank you. the s&p has rallied more than 15% since the election, but president donald trump may be at risk for puncturing the equity bubble.

he joins us from los angeles. restrictions and the procession of strong how they will be in other countries, you say that is a big pillar here when it comes to u.s. economic performance in the puncturing of the equity bubble? >> good morning, vonnie. that is very true. three reasons why the stock since rally took place the november elections. one was the expectation that there would be a lot of stimulus in infrastructure spending by the trump administration. second, some reduction in control and in deregulation and tax reform. those with a second aspect. and third, we had corporate that have done extremely well in the first couple of quarters this year. my point in the bloomberg view column is to say while the

corporate earnings picture still remains good so far, the other two legs, namely the stimulus portion and the deregulation part of it, they are going to suffer because of lack of movement. restrictions,ade that suggests the risk of packing -- of impacting the global growth. is there one positive outcome to all the things you just mentioned? could that be a weaker dollar? if you take a look at chart 5725 and the bloomberg library, ingles back to 2012 -- it goes back to 2012. dollar has been the change in the sentiment.

my concern is that the bigger dollar alone is not going to save u.s. equities. yes, you have some benefit coming to corporate earnings from the weaker dollar. but longer-term, you need economic growth. any consumer demand. but the u.s. economy to do well as well -- you want the u.s. economy to do well. that determines the health of the equity market. you are not going to get enough stimulus, i believe, from just a weaker dollar. the weaker dollar is going to be the result of readjustments rather than a new stimulus for the market. mark: how do we protect ourselves in the eventuality that this trade war does supplement the absence of stimulus? if that plays out, how do we as equity investors best position ourselves for that outcome? >> that is a great question, mark. if a trade war becomes a reality, or looks like it will

become a reality, i think the benefits are going to be in terms of moving to the equity area, which is risk off. --ensive equities, but defensive equities, for example, 1% off. plus, i have said repeatedly that the treasury and fixed income will keep rallying. can you are not going to see yield rising. you will probably see for the 10 year u.s. treasury, to go from below to 2%.o if you have a global trade war and the global growth suffers, the beneficiaries are going to be those carrying high grade paper. highlight is investors believe in the economy is slowing.

what is the implication for the fed? the economy under this scenario cannot withstand three rate hikes in 2017? pointing thator out, mark. i agree with you that the fed cannot -- i agree with you that the fed raising rates three more times would be detrimental. from 135ear spread basis point before christmas because of the trump-inflation euphoria. we have become -- we have gotten under 90 basis points in three days. if you have three more rate hikes, that is not only going to quickly accelerate coming you to easily push the 2% spread negative levels, that is what happened in november, december of 2006. exactly one year before the great recession began. and that is the risk the fed

runs if it were to continue to be very hawkish. mark: don't move. he is going to stay with us. we are talking emerging markets and europe. this is bloomberg. ♪

♪ vonnie: live from bloomberg world headquarters in new york. i'm vonnie quinn. mark: and live from london, i'm mark martin. let's get to market, european equities are lagging the global market the most in nine months. the euro headed for its first decline in three days. data shows the region's economy retooling.

weighing on european markets. komal sri-kumar is with us. on friday, the euro, higher against the dollar since generate 2015. is laggingocks behind the most since october of last year. euro'saging is the dissent for your pain earnings going for it? komal: i think if the euro continues to officiate substantially, we're talking to overing from $1.09 $1.16 in the last couple of days, that is going to be damaging if it is accompanied by the european central bank deciding also to taper its purchases, so that you have one more influence on the exchange rate. but aside, other than the

exchange rate, other than this morning's numbers on the index, you had a stream of good numbers coming on the economy from all the three major countries in the eurozone -- and the from germany, france, and even the italian numbers are looking good. just goes up a maybe of sense more, $1.17 and $1.18, the eurozone can tolerate that. the reason is we were looking at the appreciation. this comes from the good economic numbers. there is an enormous amount of optimism what they emmanuel macron victory in france. they discussed how wonderful it would be if france and germany were to come together, and that tesla merkel -- and angela merkel says they have a common bond, then you will see the euro

officiate further. that would be tolerable by the market because you have it outweighing influences. ask,e: i was going to reducing the possibility of recession in the next couple of years? komal: in the next couple of years, if you give me that long a period of time, i was you that greatest in the united states, not europe. vonnie: when and how? komal: when? half. to a year and a the two to 10of year spread. how does this happen? you had the fed increase rate three to four times. bennett also frightens the market -- then it also frightens the market. it will continue to reduce its balance sheet, and the combination of the two pushes the two continue spread to

negative levels. then you have a recession. most byere to say, the 2018. the fed will continue to lower in the stock market will stay at these levels, clearly it requires the liquidity to be maintained. if that were to change abruptly, vonnie, then you be increasing the chance of a recession. mark: i want to move on to emerging markets. i need to show a chart that tracks emerging markets and it has doubled in size fisher, leading bank of america and deutsche bank in the last week to release research that said emerging-market carey trades, starting to look overcrowded. would you agree with that assessment that emerging market carry trades are overcrowded? komal: i think the emerging-market debt and trade

can go on for a while longer. the reason for that is my expectation that the fed is not going to try to be really hawkish in the near term. so, if you have fed the business, that will help -- if ness thatfed dovish te will help the emerging markets. there are increasingly able to function without depending on u.s. economic growth. there is more diversification. china has become more important to emerging markets the united states alone. and those kinds of changes, mark, also say to me that the emerging-market debt, as well as the equity run may have quiet a way to run. vonnie: if you can get three points percentage on a chinese bond versus say one point two

percent or whatever it is on a u.s. two-year, which one would you be more comfortable buying? --al: if you were looking at in the case of chinese paper, if you were looking at 3%, in the short-term, my concern would be the valuation of they renminbi. want renminbi denominated debt last are, you are doing quite well so far. the 19th people 's congress, for some of the uncertainty to go away with this, and in the chinese paper at the levels you mentioned are going to look very attractive, vonnie, even compared with the 1.2% or so for the two-year in the united states. vonnie: thank you to come all code -- thank you to komal sri-kumar. mark: still ahead, find out what phillips chief executive said
