guy: i am guy johnson. welcome to bloomberg markets. ♪ vonnie: stocks are lower. jones gives her take with the fed minutes as well. we hear from vice president martin in an exclusive interview. they arriving canada with an update straight ahead. go to abigail doolittle. abigail: we have an update, a down day, and today is clearly a
10:01 am
down day. the dow leading the way to the downside. down nearly 7% on disappointing revenue. year-over-year, we see all the sellers taking control the big rally and major averages since march. take a look at what happens with the averages. moves to the upside, followed by big moves to the here are last week, the number of points lost her each of the averages. the dow recovered through yesterday. somewhere between roughly 50%-70 5%. still a lot of work to be done if bulls want to move back from the all-time high in september. the nasdaq tells you there is an erosion of confidence and a

number of factors including rising rates in uncertainties and mix earnings reports. netflix.k at take a look at the game. the fourth quarter, this comes after the disappointing second quarter reports. now investors have a lot of confidence. downgrades out there. rating,uisse cut its the shares down 2.6%. plus, a survey of private homebuilders. that is consistent not with the
10:03 am
sentiment index yesterday but a lot of housing data we have seen recently. onething to keep an eye consider that was the top of the market. finally, it of the fed minutes at 2:00 p.m., the bloomberg dollar index relatively strong. that is after two down days. it will be interesting to see what if any new cues will come out of the fed minutes. vonnie: thank you. investor's scouring how high officials may push rates before pausing. the minutes, as president trump doubles down on his criticism of the federal reserve. fixed income strategist to charles schwab joins us now. what is the biggest risk today in fed minutes? >> ella guess the town would be more hawkish than anticipated.
10:04 am
we heard a hawkish tone coming out. various comments have been going around saying things like they may go beyond neutral or we are a long way from neutral. even more hawkish, i would think that could affect the bond market. vonnie: the president's, some the fed constantly, are they just noise? the categoryhem in of noise. i am sure it is not terribly well appreciated, getting public criticism. on the other hand, they are able to compartmentalize and push that away. guy: will the fomc give any hints it believes trade tensions are inflationary? yields wasmove up in a real yield moves. change the game. >> i think they are more focused in terms of inflation on the labor market and potential for the tightness in labor markets to drive up wages that way.
10:05 am
they expressed concerns about tariffs but it is a double-edged sir -- sort. it also diminishes growth. i think if they are able to look at trade tensions a little better than through the problem or the issue in the labor markets. guy: a lot of people are trying to understand the framework, where the equilibrium rate is. do you think we'll get any hint as to how they are structuring the framework and how this discussion actually works internally in terms of whether or not they have an understanding. >> i wish they would provide the information. we recently had the architect of one of the models to determine the neutral rate and come out not as goodis maybe a guide as he once thought or as models had indicated. i doubt we will get anything precise about it. i do think we have to take
10:06 am
projections the fed is providing to say it is probably around where the market has been around two and three quarters, that would probably be the neutral rate. funny: we have a great story about hedge positions elsewhere, and how lucrative that has been for managers. how much value in charles schwab? not really embraced that. is probably more of a temporary thing. but for ford investors, it has become a headwind for them to invest in the u.s. market. for u.s. investors, we have not looked favorably on european bonds for quite some time because yields are low. i think it is a bit of a headwind for the u.s. market. funny: -- vonnie: i want to show our viewers a look at treasuries attractive overseas.
10:07 am
just as cap he was saying. let's get to the report later today. does china get cold -- as in -- >> the pressure -- the treasury report didn't think it would be a manipulator. we'll think that either. a lot of this has been due to the slowdown. part of which is due to trade tensions. and their desire to reduce the credit exposure they have. he could try to use that but i think it is probably an unproductive way to go at this stage in the game. about looking at the bond market on swaps basis. said you thought it was a temporary phenomenon. are you indicating you think the dollar will come down? at the moment, i have got treasuries yielding 3.1, but
10:08 am
when i get to the headspace, the 3.3, bonds at 3.8. you don't believe that will be around for very much longer. once we start to see the dollar coming down, that would unwind quickly here it that what you are saying? >> the trouble is it is hard to time that sort of a move. the dollar has been stable. it probably has more upside. market decides it knows where the terminal rate will be for the fed, it is -- if that realization comes into the swaps market, i do not think there is a lot more widening of the spreads taking place. it still remains a factor for foreign investors. but timing the change in the market will be difficult. ready think the dollar goes? how important is that in terms of setting up your policy framework?
10:09 am
>> it is important. it has an effect on foreign capital flows, which are clearly important to the u.s. market. but also in terms of inflation in fed policy. we see it up a bit from here. i think a lot of the positive news is built into where the dollar is. vonnie: i have to ask you briefly about a demand for turkish bonds. the 10 year yield is through -- is at 3.15%. it seems to be a nice risk environment. >> a great question. turkey has taken some steps with releasing this pastor who was in prison, and who has helped ease some tensions with the u.s. there is hope that some economic sense -- sanctions will be lifted and that would be put aside. that is given a lift to turkey. has alreadyeconomy
10:10 am
slipped fast. the markets have adjusted rapidly. i don't think turkish bonds look terribly attractive for u.s. investors. of people are willing to say the worst is over and perhaps the same story in russia. guy: thank you, joining us from schwab. let's get the latest news to bring you. here is kaylee. kaylee: mike pompeo says saudi arabia knows it needs to act turkish officials have said privately that they were killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. special counsel robert mueller is on the verge of delivering his findings in his russia investigation. those findings will be issued soon after the election.

10:17 am
>> i want to pick up on this point about uncertainty in the regulatory forecast and some outcomes we might see. what we have seen with metlife and now prudential, do you think ultimately what we are seeing is a regulatory landscape that might actually ship from to --ing like a baster i'm sorry, away from the asset base and more to it will space? >> there are two levels to the question. day-to-day supervision of companies p are us, life would go on with new supervisorhe group and companies around the world. there is a day to day operation level when it comes to specific companies. more generally, the theme for treasuries as it relates to systemic risk is around and
10:18 am
activities based approach as opposed to designating individual companies. we support that approach and believe it is a more effective way to mitigate risk. we do not really know what is coming at this point. there will be something before too long about the activities being reviewed their there will be some approach to mitigating , including lending for example. >> any concern that would be a redesignation at some point? >> in the case of prudential, this is a substantive finding and we don't present systemic risk. newark -- new jersey, and you do a lot for the community, no?

10:34 am
i am assuming that means this will not go so far. classes is uncertain. probably some of the strongest we have seen against saudi arabia and the 10 years i have been covering closely. saudi arabia is such a pivotal ally for the middle east. also in terms of its role in counterterrorism. along with his relationship, minimizes of not to what happened, but the administration is probably cautious about how to proceed. there is a lot at stake now. >> right. withouts, would it work the u.s. and saudi arabia? >> that is uncertain. the trump administration has been looking to make up for the

10:38 am
the time because of sensitivities. it is something rod rosenstein would be kept apprised of. eventually, there would be a report and whoever his boss eventually is. congress or the public >> would they be over at that point? >> we do not know but highly doubtful. only if a final determination is that there is no obstruction, that wouldn't be the end because there are still a couple of cases for saint petersburg, russia, that are continuing. and some other words -- work with loose ends. it would not be an end to mueller at all.

10:55 am
>> does this give netflix and little bit of breathing room for fresh content? they do and cash flow is always an issue when you look at netflix and trying to get them to slow that down or watch some expenses or spending. .nalysts are ok with it so far, this is really bullish on this stock. want to come to my terminal, we have been analyst price action relative to some estimates. at 360 three. still, analysts are well above that. almost 400. increases,ice target goldman sachs raising it, rbc calling netflix, pretty much open growth story. this caught my eye. capital analysts, he lowered his price target not because of anything fundamentally wrong with netflix because -- but because you increase the rate at which you discount the flip -- the cash flows.
