Speaker 1: records as quarterly numbers out of Microsoft and Morgan Stanley

Speaker 1: revenue at Morgan Stanley declined for the third out of

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: the last four quarters. So the industry still has a

29
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: revenue problem, there's no question about that. And obviously with

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: the trading results, we always talk about how sustainable they

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 1: are from one quarter to the next. Uh, this doesn't

32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: really give us any more insight into this. And right

33
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: now we do have shares of Morgan Stanley trading higher

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,720

Speaker 1: Charlie from the Bloomberg News room. I'm Rami in a

46
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: cent cio. It's day three of the Republican National Convention.

47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: ABC News spoke with Eric Trump, who says it's been

48
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: an incredible journey to watch his father become the numbinee

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: for president. When he becomes passionate about something, he sets

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: his mind to it and he does it. And you

51
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: see that as you sit in this arena, I mean,

52
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: this incredible arena, with this incredible passion, and I'm proud

53
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: of him. I mean, I'm just proud of the man.

54
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: He's done such an unbelievable job. Eric Trump will speak

55
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: tonight at the convention along with Donald Trump's running mate

56
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: Mike Pence and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. The people of

57
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge, Louisiana are remembering their three slain police officers.

58
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Residents turned out at makeshift memorials, churches and rallies, with

59
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: some faith and community leaders gathering to discuss ways to

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: improve police relations with black residents. The officers were fatally

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: shot by a former marine on Sunday morning. Three others

62
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: were wounded. The parents of the University of California student

63
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: killed the niece France or speaking out, Conrad Leslie says

64
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: at first he and his wife thought Nicholas survived the attack.

65
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: As soon as we landed in Paris, we found our phones,

66
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: thinking that we're going to get into good news, but

67
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: instead we had a voicemail and it said we had

68
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: some new fingers on and unfortunately, uh, they said it

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: was bad news. Officials say five people remain in custody

70
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: for possible links to the attack, and the search is

71
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: underway for four suspects were fired shots at NYPD officers

72
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: last night. Police say the four drove past the officers

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: and shot them as they were walking in Brooklyn, and

74
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: then fled the scene. Global News twenty four hours a day,

75
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: powered by more than journalists and analysts in more than

76
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: one under twenty countries. I'm Ramie in Essensio. This is Bloomberg, Charlie,

77
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: and we thank you and again recapping stocks are advancing,

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the SMP five indecks climbing to a record up ten

79
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: points now seventy three. That is a gain of five

80
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: tenths of one percent. I'm Charlie Pellet and that's a

81
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: Bloomberg business flash. This is taking stock the Fed in

82
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: focus on Bloomberg Radio, the Fed in focus. The Federal Reserve?

83
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Is it on hold for rate hikes because of the

84
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: political season? Let's find out more from Arevin Low, Global

85
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: market strategist b n Y Melon and joining us now, Marvin,

86
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: thank you very much for being with us. Well, thank

87
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: you very much for having me again, Pim Marvin. Do

88
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: you think that the Federal Reserve is going to do

89
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: nothing because we are in the thick of the election cycle?

90
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: You know what, I personally do think that they are

91
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: on hold. I think in addition to the election cycle,

92
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: we still have the potential fallout from Brexit, which, while

93
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: you know everyone's being pretty sanguine about it, UM still

94
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: has a lot of questions that need to be answered.

95
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: So what would those questions be that would satisfy you? Well, um,

96
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, the process itself is so unique, um that

97
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: we really don't have a lot of history to kind

98
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: of base it on. Um. I guess I would lean

99
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: towards the IMF report, the report that the IMF put

100
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: out earlier this week which lowered global growth. So that's

101
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: certainly a big question, and whether or not there's additional

102
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: knock on effects with regard to either tightening credit conditions

103
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: throughout Europe or um embolding potential other populous movements which

104
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: you know certainly have a basis not only UH in

105
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: the UK, but around Europe and possibly even here. Well,

106
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to play to your title as the global

107
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: market strategies for just a minute, because you mentioned the

108
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: International Monetary Fund, and they came out with report that

109
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: suggests that Italy's economy will remain stagnant for the next

110
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: get this, twenty years. It is the euro Zone's third

111
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: largest economy. Will what happens in Italy affect the United States?

112
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, what happens in Italy certainly affects the Eurozone,

113
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: and what happens in the Eurozone we've seen from either

114
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: a reach perspective or a UM risk taking appetitles in

115
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the financial markets certainly has an impact here. Also, central

116
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: banks have been successful in calming nerves in the past,

117
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: and I think that's um the point in the cycle

118
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: that we're at now. But without really addressing those problems yesterday.

119
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: They will affect um, the US, they will affect the FED.

120
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: Thought we are a citizen of the world. In that case,

121
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: will we catch some of that helicopter money if Mario

122
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: drag starts dropping it from the skies? Well, um, at

123
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: this point, you know, helicopter money discussion really is more

124
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: focused on Japan. I don't think the ECB has taken

125
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: a a very strong stance in going that way. But

126
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: the trend of lower yields amongst the other central banks

127
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: will have their impact on the U S yield curve.

128
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: And while we've seen yield rise over the last couple

129
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: of weeks, you know, they still are significantly lower since Brexit,

130
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: and expectations are that um, you know, the Bank of England, UH,

131
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: the e c B and the Bank of Japan are

132
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: possibly moving towards the next stage of monetary accommodation. If

133
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: they do move to this next stage of monetary accommodation.

134
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: What does that do to U S interest rates? UM.

135
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's an interesting time right now because

136
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: at the same time that I'm having this conversation with you,

137
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: there's certainly a lot of discussion about whether or not

138
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: the FED is going to try to hype rates again

139
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: this year. You know, we've seen the odds of a

140
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: rate hike UM increase significantly over the past few weeks

141
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: and never been some pretty high profile stories in the

142
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: press about the FED ready to move again. UM. Kind

143
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: of trying to put all of that together. While the

144
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: FED UM, you know, certainly wants to increase rates to

145
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: UM put additional bullets within within their arsenal, our yield

146
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: curve is certainly influenced by a lot of these other

147
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: yield curves. So the last time I was on your program,

148
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: I really thought that we were in a period where

149
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: should expect kind of this range bound or lower yield

150
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: type environment. UM. Even though we have backed up, we

151
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: still remain relatively low by historical standards, if not at

152
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: all time low still around the world. And I'll stand

153
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: by that thingment. I think that we need to deal

154
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: and and get used to this lower yield environment. Well,

155
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: I'll just give you the details. Right, the ten uere

156
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: right now trades at one point five seven. It is

157
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: down seven thirty seconds today. Also, the thirty year bond

158
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: is selling off down seconds, a decline of a little

159
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: bit more than half a percent, trading at two point

160
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: to nine. All Right, As a global market strategist, what

161
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: do you recommend people do with their money? Well, again, um,

162
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, it really is a function of tempering expectations.

163
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: And we kind of had a little bit of this discussion,

164
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: um the last time I was there. You know, really

165
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: understanding that risk is part of the equation, That of

166
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: volatility is probably something that we need to get used to.

167
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: And finding the part of the market that makes sense

168
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: for your risk tolerance. Generating the type of returns that

169
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: you had from the fixed income market is going to

170
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: be challenging. Uh. It certainly requires one to look at

171
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: um non sovereign um types of fixed income investments if

172
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: you're looking for that type of that type of return.

173
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen really strong returns within the high

174
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: yield world. Uh, the investment grades space within the US

175
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: and it's you know, for USD investors that kind of

176
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: makes UM the currency aspect a little bit easier, continues

177
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: to offer spread to to that treasury market, and it

178
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: continues to post positive returns in there. So it's that

179
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: type of thinking that I believe UM investors need to

180
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: to do rather than just simply looking at the government

181
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: bond market. So do people have to get used to

182
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: relative returns as opposed to absolute returns to a certain extent,

183
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, to a certain extent, and you

184
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: know that certainly comes into your retirement planning process and

185
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: everything else that goes along with it. UM. When you

186
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: do have these sovereign yields anchored at these either very

187
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: low and or negative levels around the world, a relative

188
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: return is something that UM you have to take into consideration.

189
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,240
