Buying there. Nasdaq 100 highest since june. Those are some of the Tech Companies im keeping my eyes on. We are looking at a pretty broadbased rally. You can see nine out of the 11 sectors are green, showing a broadbased rally. I want to look at some of the tech stocks and some of the big companies. Not a lot of news behind that. A note this morning from experts saying President Trump after his turning at night was new leaf, showing the can listen to leaders and perhaps getting some criticism, showing he could really listen in terms of when it comes to routes on the ground. Also feeling that as we round out the other asset classes, we are going to look at the dollar index because we are waiting jackson hole tomorrow, a speech from mario draghi and janet yellen. That risk on yield pushing the dollar up higher, about. 3 . Maybe we can look at tax reform now. Finally, we are looking at the 10 year yield. The Central Bank Governors that will be speaking, we have been hovering around that 20 range. A little overall risk on here with a stronger dollar and bonds iming off fearful julia going to pick up there as investors try to move past recent local turmoil in backngton, ray elio is with a new note of caution, saying hes reducing risk because he is can learn about growing internal and next journal conflict leading to impaired efficiency. He doesnt seem to be the only one. Risk aversion measures have been rising. Conflict ready . The markets still intact, get on with it . Guest its hard to say. It seems safe to conclude the amount of medical dysfunction in the United States seems to grow every day and i read Something Like the biggest fear of parents and their kids marrying is now marrying somebody of the opposite Political Party which says something. There does seem to be a structural divide that would support trump no matter what and slightly more who would oppose them no matter what and that doesnt make for a harmonious backdrop. Julie if you look at post election, there was hope on at least part of the Business Community that there was going to be some positive measures achieved and you have a chart that shows this. Specifically this is political optimism . This is almost hidden on the right side of the screen. This goes back to 1988 and then im going to try and zoom. It shows a big spike up post election. Guest there is an unprecedented amount of optimism that flooded in, at least the respondents to the Michigan Survey after the election of donald trump which has sort of receipt about halfway. Oh may remember mr. Delly wrote waxing lyrical about trump breaking out his iran references and john gault was going to be treasury secretary or something. Class that is quite interesting in that context. What is interesting is he doesnt talk about the markets very much. Its mostly talking about the divide, almost as an afterthought, he says im tactically reducing risk. ,hen you look at this chart when you look at the tender of the country right now, how do you translate that into what its going to mean for the Financial Market . Thet you need to look at confidence of real actors in the economy, not only consumers and broad Consumer Confidence the Business Confidence. Moment, Business Confidence remains high. Similar to that charge, you had in thee in rise aggregate economy after the election and that has not really receded. What we have seen recently is the ceos and corporate bigwigs defecting from the administration and the issue is is that just political orediency or amoral qualm does it reflect a loss of confidence in Corporate America over the direction the company the country is going in . That would have a more negative implication is businesses conduct their activities accordingly by investing and hiring less. Julia in the shortterm, are the fundamental getting lost or blurred by the political noise . The s p went nowhere fast. Rally upjustifying the to this point as opposed to the rally Going Forward. Guest its the classic buy the rumor, sell the stock. Fundamental fundamentally justifies a weakening of the dollar but it has weakened more than traditional drivers would suggest which means we can pay to some sort of disquiet not only from domestic but international investments. Time, whenhe same you talk about the underlying confidence in the economy, the showeds seen we got past relative strength in the earnings but it didnt seem to translate what happened in the stock market. How do we navigate that Going Forward . Everyone says its about the fundamentals and the fundamentals are good, but if they dont matter as much anymore guest earnings season was good, but if we look at the actual levels, they were not much higher than they were three years ago. Argue it was already baked into the price. We look at places like walmart and that was actually white lousy. Its a what have you done for me lately market. The investors will be forwardlooking. If some of the guidance is quite right and theres a backdrop of political unease and thats a reasonable rationale for taking when we have table had a monolithic straightline advanced for nine months. That can only continue for so long before there is some mean reversion. It would require stronger policy to justify valuations as well. If you are concerned about the hase and stability, if that an impact, at some point, that does matter. The trump bump is all but gone, but to justify the rallies, we are looking at fundamentals. We have to move on. Now lets check on the bloomberg first word news with mark crumpton. Mark a top u. S. Commander for the middle east is the first new forces will arrive in afghanistan within days or weeks. President trump is not how many Additional Service members he plans to send. Last night, the president declared u. S. Troops will fight to win the long war in singapore, then remains of some u. S. Sailors have been found aboard the damaged u. S. Ship.

Global news 24 hours a day powered by our 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. Im mark crumpton. This is bloomberg. Sorry for keeping you waiting. Top minor the world is in talks to sell u. S. Shale assets after public skirmishes with activist investors. We will hear from an analyst who says shale assets could fetch between 8 billion and 10 billion. From new york, this is bloomberg. Julia this is Bloomberg Markets. Im julia chatterley. Julie and im julie hyman. Julia after months of pressure, the worlds biggest miner, hp litan, announced it is in talks to sell u. S. Shale assets. Andrew mackenzie discussed the plans to exit u. S. Shale on Bloomberg Markets asia. For now, our strategy is a small number trade sales, but we are keeping the other options there so we can proceed with a now,n apple pays, but for we think a trade sale is best. How quickly can you make an exit . We have to be patient. We know what our businesses are worth and we will add to our businesses through our value and modest tech modest investment. On the other hand, we dont want to lack urgency and thats why we have other options in the wings if trade sales are too difficult to execute. Its interesting because we heard from a French Energy giant assets andto buy the one thing they said his u. S. Shale is not at the top of their wish list because it is too expensive. Foremostree first and about it being too expensive and does this concern you about finding available and interested buyers . We have sold some parts of our position over the last two years. This is not something that has happened in a sudden way. Half of the remaining half was already on the block. There were a lot of trades that happened. What generally happens on the trade sale is people get proper interviews involved and do proper assessments and they seem to do what its worth. They are dealing with different types of acreage that have gone into different productivity. Does the decision to go for a total exit was that the impetus from these activist investors . No. Working toward this two years ago and we made it clear to most investors that when we went around the world, we saw very limited opportunities to expand our business in oil. Werelt the margins and gas not going to be attractive to us relative to the other businesses we can invest in. We started pivoted back toward conventional oil and gas and that means at the same time we were cutting capital in shale, selling acreage the way i described it, we significantly cut back conventional oil and ive been able to announce some real successes there. Julia that was Andrew Mackenzie speaking on Bloomberg Markets asia. Joining us now is an analyst who shale assets could yield between 8 billion and 10 billion he joins us from denver. Great to have you on the show. Do you thinkally other potential buyers will be looking at . Guest good afternoon. The permian and eagle but are is assets and the biggest likely to be on the permian. Eagle for it is a bigger asset, but the upside potential within the permian should drive the value. Julia one of the potential purchases theres purchasers here is anadarko. How could they monetize this better . Guest the earlier comment on is u. S. Shale expensive is a fair one. Anadarko with its leverage ask like a checkerboard. In addition, anadarkos infrastructure that is being built out sits on top and next acreage, so they are elements that they are building and elements they are going to expand and they can hand in the acreagey put in into the anadarko position within the permian. Julia anadarko has been mentioned as a bidder. Who do you think will actually emerge . I think there will be a lot of interest and a natural gas assets will be more difficult to transact. We believe there is a situation when you look at the position , they are very fluid within each other. And its more consistent to develop consistent blocks of acreage and you might be able to have a true win win win situation for all three parties for anadarko, shale and the hp for top julia the company has left over a possibility of some kind of ipo option here. What do you think is the most likely . The fact that the prices are significantly higher if it had not bounced off a 12 year low. It is certainly the case that a sale would be preferred. It is clean and easy in the fastest amongst all of those. Is thatistic asset there are a lot of very high value Public Companies out there that are permian pure play focused and that will be a consideration the company will be looking at. What do you think bhp did not do right . Did they just not have the correct password patchwork of having the economy of scale or are there things they could have done differently . Guest i dont know if there is an element of not doing anything right. There has been a Seismic Shift and technological shift as everyone has been forced to go to 30 and back into the 40s and regenerate their businesses and that has in a challenge and it still an ongoing problem for many of the firms. It is a systematic change taking place. At the assets of highquality and certainly one that can be competitive in the broader economic landscape within global oil. Julie thank you so much.

Julie from bloomberg World Headquarters in midtown manhattan, this is Bloomberg Markets. Im julie hyman. Commodity markets are closing in new york. Lets look at some of todays big movers. The big loser today oj down about 3. 5 at the moment. U. S. Orange shoes retail sales fell nearly 9 in july and early august. The usda says that crop looks potentially demand, high. Of crudest source could help erode the global glut. After the initial leg up, we have seen quite a bit of choppiness in the oil market today. Gold slipping as risk on sentiment takes hold. Investors are waiting for mario draghiwhere and janet yellen are scheduled to speak. A year before the financial crisis, there was a crisis that often gets overlooked. We are talking about a crash of funds in 2007. While the funds that back and address the shortcomings, there theso many new products on market that there are questions being asked about whether the industry is prepared for another crisis. Joining me is the head of Marketing Research management at a qr capital management. Of the face of wall street. A long introduction, but a worthy one. The universe has changed a great deal i hate that term because in terms of the number of investor products out there, it is a different world. Much it is, and its a underworld and for the first time, we have a lot of Retail Investors. Theres about a trillion dollars in quantum hedge funds and in etfs, helped by Retail Investors. Another one, im a retail manager and i just try to figure out how i wouldnt take a different path than i would in 2007. Julie what would that be . There has been this proliferation of quantitative driven strategies in the market, so one would think they are more important than ever, but you posit that it wont necessarily take down everything . Guest the big difference this time is there is less leverage. Retail products are primarily on ofered, so i think in terms effecting the market, it would not be huge. We could see a massive deleveraging and in one month, it would barely ripple. Is a lot oft do damage to people putting their money in these products, so anyone invested in these things should think about are you prepared to take a month where you underperform the s p 500 or whatever the benchmark is. If not, you are better off getting off now and putting it in a in an index fund. Julia you are saying the Liquidity Provision if you want to pull your money out or the ,ark to market, Retail Investor a more sophisticated investor is different question mark is different . Guest on the other hand, Retail Investors typically do not all move in one day. Even the massive mutual fund meltdown, we typically see it happening over a month or two. Julia what about for those who run these funds strictly go back to 2007 you can tell me if im wrong, but there is a greater degree of understanding of core belief in a quant adopt and andtion of some strategies they dont understand perhaps the drawdowns and the efforts of drawdowns that can be taken, but for someone who has incorporated math strategy, what difference does that make . It should be true. People who should know better are also surprised and sometimes unprepared for drawdowns. Sometimes Retail Investors get a bad name. Suddenly all those class all of those classes dont seem so great. One aspect of that is quant has gotten much broader. In 2007, it was much better defined and today, i believe the andest etf is a growth etf the quant would call that a dumb beta etf. Calledough they are all quant, they are in the hedge funds back in 2007. Julie i want to play what he had to say because he talks about that diversity and gets your reaction. Going back to the data side and looking at companies through so many different leverages gives us a lot of comfort that theres a lot of ways to look at companies and their fortune, not just looking at their statement of cash flows. The spectrum of possibilities are very large, so if we think to what was additional signals maybetors 10 years ago, you had 5, 10, 15 different signals and now there are hundreds out there and that gives us comfort that theres people moving in the for directions and the idea with crowding, that fire alarm youre talking about, we are very sensitive to it. Julie he essentially echoes what you said but correlations are very high in the markets right now. We are seeing low correlations in the market right now. Has this given a level of safety to the market in some way . Guest institutional funds, absolutely. Does crisis, there is really only four or five top factors. The proprietary ones were flat mostwn a little, but retail funds have a very narrow set of quant factors. But theres another aspect. It doesnt matter how may lenders you look at, some will go up tomorrow and some will go down. Money, youd makes will have to have more stocks that go up dan go down even if your stocks have totally different approaches. These strategies dramatically underperformed for a few days and it shouldnt bother folks, but for those looking to get out of where it happens, the initiatives get out now. Were a riskaid you and had to operate in that kind of environment. Aboutwere warnings potential conflicts Going Forward i wonder what you see as the greatest risk out there . Successfulink hes at guessing what is going to happen. Had to pick one major thing, i would a it would be a dramatic realignment in government, and im not just talking about the United States. Right now i look at things kind of gridlocked in the world. No Movement Forward and thats actually really good from our sense. Dramaticget a realignment that changes tax policy that does everything for a loop. Go on the wayngs they are, think we are in good shape. Chat to you. To julie the former head of Financial Markets research, you writing ats bloomberg profits. Lets check the headlines on the bloomberg first word news with mark crumpton. Mark a spanish initial official says two of the four surviving barcelona suspects have identified an imam killed in an explosion as the mastermind of the extremist cell, though only one of the four suspects admitted to being part of the 12 member group.

Global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. Im mark crumpton. This is bloomberg. Julia the latest model of the iphone is in the pipeline. Apple is expect to use its inond but rest strategy just time for the 10th anniversary of the iphone. We will discuss. From new york, this is bloomberg. Julia this is julie Bloomberg Markets. Im julia chatterley. And im julie hyman. Lets head to abigail little for todays sectors by report. Abigail we are looking at retail and retail is having a great day. Etf, look at the retail some real strength year and this his bit of a mixed bag, appointment in the likes of macys and kohls, but today, its really helping the xrt have its best day in the month of august. If we happen to the bloomberg and look at this chart, is a longerterm chart of the flows on the sector spider etf and we the the outflows more recently on monday, the most since 2015. The fourth largest outflow of all time, so there is one big on retail. Ry bearish weve been hearing about the move toward ecommerce, so one investor seems to be setting in that direction with the outflow there. Very interesting to see that on retail for sure. The bar for the new iphone is set high. The spotlight is on the features of the phone that coincides with the 10th anniversary of the iphone. Mark berman has these details exclusively and joins us from san francisco. You say this would be a case that he in innovation, more perfecting features rivals already have. A. K. A. , they stole everything already. Continuing a pattern theyve been using for most of their products over the past few decades. Julie we are talking about how tim cook says they dont want to be first everything, they just want to be best. We have a great graphic on the bloomberg and online looking at the different features. What is your favorite thing that exists out there on another device that apple is planning to improve upon . Aest our Graphics Team did really incredible job. I think the screen is going to be the big part of this. A lot of phones from samsung to hsc to motorola and some of the smaller players have been using this technology for years but is doing it and they have reported they have a deal ath samsung to produce hundred million units. It shows colors much better. If you remember going from an older iphone to an iphone for, its that sort of transition. Thats going to be the big deal with apple moving to that. Plus being able to look at the phone in order to unlock it. And it unlocks it in a few hundred milliseconds. Where did apple and iphone actually do something first . Wheres the actual innovation . Apple lets be clear is the company that created the smartphone design. They were first to put it in peoples pockets all the way back in 2007, but over the years, they were slow and allowing companies to come out with new ideas but apple affected those. Some examples where they have been first, they were first on the faster chips, reducing reliance on Companies Like qualcomm and they have an advanced in terms of optics for cameras and the app store idea was popularized by apple. Mobile payments, those were popularized by apple and the 3d hundred milliseconds to unlock the phone, that speed is unique to apple for the near term. Make the pointo that is innovation in itself and im being coy in a way, but it is highly innovative in itself. Talk to me about the reconfigured camera does this i am excited about. It really is the future. Talk me through this because this is new. Guest earlier this year, apple announced a new program. Tools to build a are apps. We had an example similar to the ar kit and i was able to play a game in the back of our studio and shoot rockets at these fake buildings and it was really cool. Another example was bmw has a nap and i was able to put a seven series bmw in our studio, actual size in terms of the ar graphics and go into it, check out the Steering Wheel and change the colors of the seats. I was able to put a 75 inch tv on the wall here. If you want to know what size tv you want to get, it measures the depth of the room and the space. The joys of being a tech reporter.

Julia julie julie this is Bloomberg Markets. Im julie chatter im julia chatterley. And im julie hyman. Julia mark cuban apparently thinks there is opportunity in cryptocurrencies after all. He tweeted back in june that bitcoin was in a bubble but is now investing in a fund called one confirmation that will invest in block chain companies. He says in an email i have always looked at lock chain as a Foundation Platform from which great applications can be built. Hopefully we can find a few. Hyde. G us now is caroline we have to make a huge stink should here for top its just one element built on what is a fundamental basis of lock chain, so he sees something here. Caroline bitcoin is just one token out there and there are hundreds of tokens that have been issued, and most of them are based on block chain theory, a distributed ledger. Getting mark cuban going and hes getting into this earlystage fund with a fund raising some 20 million. Its not his first foray. One of his companies is itself going to be issuing an initial coin offering. Thats the initial sale of tokens like bitcoin, but a new one. Also looking at other opportunities and projects, so clearly, he likes the underlying technology. Julie is there anything that approach .

We have seen about a dozen hedge funds this summer trying to get into this hot Digital Currencies base. By the bitcoin, they tokens.

They are going to the company before the ico and putting money up to 500,000 into the company we he quitted proquote is will get your token what it offers and we give that a discount. He hinted at a third crypto investment Going Forward, potentially buying into the currency itself. Do we have any clues on what might be next on his agenda .

Janet yellen will deliver this on friday. Cohead of global asset allocation, great to have you on the show. Saying dole are you believe will get any further policy clarification or do you expect this to be a nonevent . We think mostly a nonevent. One thing we wrote about was within theg debate fed about why inflation continues to surprise on the downside. There are a lot of codewords in failure you saw think mostnces and i of what takes place in jackson will be about trying to set a plan b for a to fit through what the implications of future policy might look like if Secular Forces holding inflation down continue. Like you think forces will remain in place unlike a lot of commentators who said you are saying the fed might be ahead and not behind when it comes to inflation. What convinces you they are not just transitory . The phillips curve does not necessarily people are talking about the existence of a very flat phillips curve. It does not have to be a straight line. We do not excuse the fact that it may be kinked. Narrow is actually a lot lower than the fed forecast it to be. There are demographic issues current models do not address well. Older members are of the workforce and the most highly paid, moving into retirement and moving into lower income is the approach retirement and they are being replaced by younger workers and that is one reason wages have been under pressure. There are demographics issues. Him affecting individual countries labor costs. The workforce has got more global. Academic literature around the it ision mechanisms kind of a coin flip at best. There is not good evidence wage deflation results in rising inflation. I know this debate will impact how they calibrate Going Forward. I know you believe we are a few hikes away from a cycle peak. Particularly given when you look across the investment universe, it is tough to find a fiscal reward here. Juste thing is it is not our view. The future path of fetch for i think therees, are two big investment applications. The first being the fact that the initial event we think for is the worldve moving to the precipice. That is the benefit of Holding Stocks and bonds together. The second thing would be to learn the lessons of japan. People have been calling for this to rise for 20 years and for 20 years, bonds have been one of the sharpest radios out there in return for risk. An imposition is having both stocks and bonds together and this delayed bond market on again, will not have to worry about that for some time. Will gou think rates high from here even if it is not much . Do you see opportunity for investors . There are still credit products that offer yield and a reason were not tremendously about risk off affecting credit markers is we observe how stretched down sheets have in, and if you can delay the rate rise one or two or three years and the future, the technical that includes highyield and emergingmarket debt, that bid will be around for a while. The demand is there. About want to high ask highyield in particular. There is a little bit of growing concern. About potentially could heading toward rocking is at the least. Are you concerned about getting more stretched as earnings he or as we see falling demand in the United States . We have had something unusual, a fullblown default empe surrounding energy and companies, metal on the 2 as the fears have abated, if you look at the makeup of the market, you have highquality Companies Falling and the companies not able to sustain the mining and commodity went companies that were not going to be profitable with oil prices approaching 25, the have all gone out of this mess. The cohort of companies has been more solid. If you look at multiples, they are in the higher quintile where they have been historically, but you have to expect some kind of unseat the technical bid for credit and we do not see that in the near term. Fleshing out a healthier market. Thank you so much. Now lets get a check on the headlines with mark crumpton. Mark thank you. Forces will arrive in afghanistan within days or weeks. President trump isnt confirming how me more Service Members he plans to send. U. S. Troops will fight to win the long war war in afghanistan.
