This is bloomberg markets. David getting back to the latest hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve over the weekend. Fisher signaled a rate hike is still on the table. Hanley fisher signaled a rate ike is still on the table. Stanley fisher. He has set the stage it seems. Now investors are waiting to see what janet yellen have to say when shes weeks in jackson hole, wyoming, when she speaks saturday. When she speaks. We look for reaction and indication this ill may be on the table. What did you hear when he spoke yesterday . I describe it more as an aggressive talk and an ill tempered does. Dove. L tempered david do you think a rate hike is on the table . I think without question they should be considering a rate hike. The conditions in the u. S. Warrant one. The real question is how can the Global Economy cope with this . Have notomething they previously looked up at something theyre much more attuned to today. What a rate hike make any difference to the bench we have seen in credit markets . The binge we have seen and markets . No question he would make a difference. We have seen Central Banks are becoming key. We think a surprise rate hike would have a negative impact. David there was a pretagore at the end of the speech that Stanley Fischer gave. We have heard that from many fed numbers. Do you sense that there is motivation for it to change . We think there is desire for that to change. How quickly and where it will occur will be the real question. Changek it is tough to quickly across the world. Look at japan to see where changes first. We have been talking a lot about how Foreign Investors investing in treasuries are really not getting a return based on currency effect. I have a great chart to show you entitled stretching your dollar. This will quadruple the yield of u. S. Debt. Wesley what this is showing how negative really what this is showing is how this is turning the bond market upside down. Also, complicating longstanding investment strategy. My question to you, what about uncharted territory could the negative Interest Rate push this this represents one of the biggest opportunities from negative Interest Rates. Investors historically have not looked at global bonds from a hedged perspective. They u. S. Investors hedge foreign currency. You can generate a pretty attractive return in the form bonds that are negative yielding. A lot of this is about Dollar Strength as well. This is already priced in. What does that mean for fixed income market . We have seen the dollars day in a range over the course of the past 612 months. That is because we saw a big move in the dollar about a year and a half ago as we went through taper and the first rate hike. I think given the pace of the should not be expecting a rapid move in either direction. Toking the tightrope tightening policy and not derailing the economy. That represents an opportunity for investors to go into hedged global bonds. I know investing in the oil and gas set of business. Where do you see that heading . We see a significant need for capital. It used to be it was almost free in that market. Investors were falling over themselves to invest. Now it is really tough, even if you have an attractive project to go in there and get the capital you need. We think you can find doubledigit returns and the energy space, but you have to be really selective because there a lot of public bonds that do not make a lot of sense. Other are there any sectors that are attractive to you . We are seeing attractive opportunities across the real estate sector. Particularly u. S. Residential real estate. You think about the challenges we had 10 years ago and that market. They are being really disciplined. And vesting in that part of the market represents real opportunity for fixed income investors. Just looking at u. S. Treasuries, how do you see the 10 year yield ending the year, and given what you think about that policy now, what do you ask that to happen to the yield curve . We would expect, given a nonaggressive fed, that you should see further steepening in the yield curve. Will they be a tremendous amount buter . We do not expect so, there is that risk. We think it makes a lot of sense to diversify your portfolio. Look for Central Banks that are being more dovish. Look for more hedge opportunities. Look across treasuries as well as credit in creating fixed income portfolio. About the comments from the bank of japan earlier today . Is that making any impact on how you view the u. S. Credit market and the markets locally . We have not seen a material impact. One thing that has been weighing on our mind in terms of investor moves, japanese investors have coming to the u. S. And giving negative Interest Rates there, u. S. Investors as they are going from active to passive investments, they are expending extending duration, which is quite dangerous considering how low Interest Rates are. Thank you so much.

Before we get into the currency and terms of expectations for jackson hole, what are we thinking that the dovish comments from the fed and bullish and hawkish comments. What are your thoughts . Beach, it seems to change. Stanley fischer seems to be laying the groundwork for a rate hike. In general, i think the general idea is most people believe they will stand packed, at least through the election. The action in the dollar is really backing that up. People are pretty confident they will stay where they are, at least through the election. David fed futures are pricing in a 28 chance in september. The currencies, the u. S.

The currency shares etf is the fxy up about 9 . The dollar weakness has been good for some of the funds that are basically tracking other foreign currencies. David if an investor wants to get in, talk to me about writing strategies. Buying strategies. A lot of them, especially from guggenheim, the strategy is to track the currency, whether it is the british pound or the euro. They have one for most of the major currencies. Some of the other ones did a little more asked her to eric. Play thethe futures currencies. There is some with leverage. Anything with altra will be a Leveraged Fund trying to double the return of the currency. With three times it will be triple leverage. The bestperforming of the group , that is obviously a Leveraged Fund. David talk to me about volatility as well. Currency etfs versus stock etf. It all depends on the product obviously. And generally a are not more. Olatile you have to come at them with a bit different strategy. This can be your typical buy and hold. For these, it is more you are buying to protect against currency swings and holdings bet onu have or to events like the fed coming up or the british referendum earlier this summer. That type of thing. With currencies being as zero some investment, it is not something you can necessarily buy and hold for a long time. Is something you have to be hedging against some fluctuations in the currency based on your holdings elsewhere in the policy in the portfolio.

Theynk in the pfizer offer have a decent sized walkway clause. Santa fe themselves bowed out quite extraordinarily. They had the chance to speak to medivation. This is pretty much a done deal. An interesting approach from santa fe trying to force the deal at one point. Think they have lost in credibility because of that approach . Right now prospects are leak. Elatively be this was a great opportunity but they lowballed it. They should have gone a bit more aggressive. Especially with santa fe. This has been a great way for them to reestablish.

That is your Global Business report. Head to bloomberg. Com for more stories. The markets,ack to lower returns bad if you are playing a safer than average portfolio. Howard marks says now is the time to because this. He describes the current Market Conditions to erik schatzker. The normal yield spread has been between 350 and 550 basis points erik . Erik we are now around 500. We are in the upper portion of the historic rate. Historically, if you bought highyield bonds in the upper portion of the range, you did quite well relative to treasuries. With theroblem is not relative return. One of my favorite sayings is you cannot eat relative return. The Central Banks have brought all Interest Rates so low that even if we have a nice spread on highyield, it is still a low. Erik this shows the point you have been illustrating. Again, lets remind everyone with Interest Rates almost at zero, Interest Rate that euro in aren negative, investors being incentivized to chase field. How does that investor prepare for calamity . It is very challenging today. We are in a low return world. Those are the three most important words to remember. How do you go about doing your business in a low return world . You can settle for a low return or you can pursue a high return. How do you get a high return in a low return world . The answer is, you have to take significant risk. Erik are you comfortable taking that risk . I am a professional. Dont try this at home. What we have done is we have operated under a mantra, move forward but with caution. Oaktree is a cautious investor. That means more caution than usual. We have amped up the caution and the skepticism all of the things that i said earlier were in short supply, we have increased. Erik oaktree is willing to sacrifice return . Yes, we have a safer than average portfolio, which means normallyverything goes , we will make a lower return than the average, but that is the price you pay for having a safer than average portfolio, which we think is important at when we sayecause we cannot predict but we can prepare, one way to prepare is by increasing representation of caution in your portfolio. If you look at the credit market right now, is there anything that is attractive on an absolute basis or relative basis . Highyield is attractive on a relative basis. If you bought high yield today, im highly confident on a multiyear trade you will trade up. That is attractive in relative terms. There is nothing that is absolutely cheap. There are noanything that is atn an absolute basis or relative bargains and absolute terms. Nothing is being given away for less than the intrinsic value. When the central bank brings down what we call the risk free rate, the base rate, that is like pending the tail on the donkey. All returns proceed rationally low that base, but at a rebel. I wrote this memo in november 2004 called risk and return today, the first cautionary memo of the last cycle. I said then we were in a low return world. I just arrived the steps one would take once one recognize that. That was howard marks and an exclusive interview with erik schatzker. Is gdphead, if gdp losing its standard as a main gave . Struggling to keep up with changes in technology. What may be the new yardstick next. This is bloomberg. David in new york, i am david gura. You are watching bloomberg we will get a second reading of u. S. Secondquarter gdp this wednesday, just as whitening inision and changes technology are undermining confidence in the accuracy. Jet black joins us from frankfurt. Black. This gdp debate is an ongoing one, so what is new at the moment . What is new is nevada where you look around the world in major economies, there is a discussion about how little we establishedthe procedure for doing calculations of this sort, and an environment where policy, central bank and fiscal policy is increasingly directed at trying to target nominal gdp growth. That is a very difficult thing to do when you cannot measure of the economy very accurately. What sort of alternatives are people looking at then . On where you look, but we have everything from things like wellbeing a lightly more pen dime concept of essentially happiness of how well the society is doing. That can be requested by income, health, longevity, and other types of indicators. Are ways to plug goes into gdp statistics. The distribution of income is increasingly important. We are missing is an important societal factor. David there are people the satisfied with the measure, but it is still hugely important. Of the the nine pages , stillare devoted to gdp something incredibly important to central bankers and longterm investors as well. How would you gauge the appetite for changing the metric, how we measure growth . Ask think no matter who you , there is appetite for improving it. Appetite for improving different types of indicators into the economic model. Being able to make them more accurate and more timely. What we do not see is any readiness or appetite for completely starting again. Going back to the drawing board, saying how can we best gauge the success of the economy . What we seeing is more tinkering around the edges. David we will get the revision later in the week. Isnt you make in the piece revisions have become so radically huge. Is that the essential points of the argument for changing it, the merits of the data are not that strong . Absolutely. As our economies to come work , we find the initial reading very more greatly from what the final ones are. The whole recession got revised away in 2013. 2014 in japan something similar happened. Investors are making decisions ace on the first readings. Central banks often make decisions based on the first readings. If we know they are most of the time wrong, i think the requirement is for the work to go on. Another thing you point out is gdp as it stands is not changes inwith technology. How can that be brought into the mix . This is a problem that there is not any great breakthrough yet in dealing with we mentioned a thing like music streaming. A price of the cd previously, you can have a product that is vastly superior. Gdp does not take account of that. It just looks at the price at the current moment in time. Peoplesmy and experience is vastly different. We have no breakthrough yet in being able to tell how technology is changing the economy in that way. I am sure you will report on it when we do.
