rates higher. they want to get toward what they consider the natural rate where it won't be cumulative. it will be the nice goldilocks middle-of-the-road. we are seeing the growth itself a little bit. we have wages gaining, more jobs in low-paying sectors. this wage trend going to change anytime soon? >> probably not. you look at the really high-paying jobs in this country in manufacturing. a lot of those have disappeared. unionization in the private sector is over 25%. after world war ii it's 7%. even in the public sector unionization is coming down and those are high-paying jobs. jobs being created are in things like retail, leisure and hospitality.

than you got all the gig workers with a trade-off their freedom to pick their hours and so on for basically lower pay and very few benefits. vonnie: where does this all end up? do we continue on this trend of the little bit of wage growth and unemployment going even lower? where do we end up? you forgot globalization is probably the most important factor in the last three decades. there's been virtually no real income growth for everybody but the very top in this country for over a decade. that's got people mad as hell. this is going back to the network where the guy jumps out of his chair. that's what got trump elected in my view. that was responsible for brexit. continues ihis

think a lot of that has got to protectionists approach. he's really trying to placate his voters. the people in the middle of the country. saying i'm doing something for you, i'm going after the bad guys. he is branded as imports and immigrants. the president is also putting pressure on the fed not likingng about tightening. as i going to affect the fed at all -- is that going to affect the fed at all? >> he's not the first guy to do that. recently is acting like it's the first time ever. it really isn't. it encourages the fed to dig in their heels and say we're going to do it our way. they're looking at the economy. they want rates higher but they don't want to upset the apple cart.

we are still in a fragile situation on a global basis. with protectionism growing that's very disruptive at a minimum. trump may end up getting a much china becauseom we are the buyers and they are the sellers. i think we got the upper hand and he knows that. it's very disruptive in the meanwhile. solution?at's the how do you bring benefit to people that are not seeing any benefits economically? the kind of things you can do are very long-term. if trump ends up getting a much you couldl from china get to it down and are a trade war between president for life in china and president trump otherwise it will take a long time to work out. and in the meanwhile people say wait a minute, there's a trend

of uncertainty. politically it's a very where evenituation if the gains are very long-term and you can't be sure the destruction in the meanwhile can get the voters up in arms and you get the whole thing reversed. shery: less than 100 days before the midterms as well. thank you, gary shilling. for coverage of the federal reserve special report tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. eastern. still ahead, parental profit. jeff bezos's mom and dad may be working billions. numbers next.e this is bloomberg. ♪

discussions on the markets, the markets are going missing this earnings season. morgan stanley, mike wilson, the bank achieved usa strategies, the selling has just begun in this direction will be the biggest since the we experienced in february. it could very well on a greater negative impact on the average portfolio if it is centered on tech, consumer discretionary, and small caps as we expect great it is guesses benjamin and how careful should we be at this point? themandel: i'm not seeing catalyst for that major correction, at least insofar as equity fundamentals are concerned. ofthink about it in terms the line drivers. first a cyclicality. how is the economy during -- doing in terms of the business cycle and where are we relative to the adverse stage for risky assets which as the economy slides into recession. in our view, recession risk

remains low in the we moved into the late age of the cycle outlook area are we a high-growth or low growth environment? balance and we look at the u.s. a look, it's arguably exhibiting some leadership in terms of growth but overall, we expect globally for this to be above trend period in 2018 on the outlook is supportive. inflation is not too low, not too high. it gives us a bit more cause being in an environment where the risk and the balance of risks surrounding a central case as deteriorated a little over the past few months. we think about trade war for example as being one of the key sources of volatility here. i think the good news insofar as that equity outlook is concerned is that so far, trade war concerns have been an influence on volatility but not as much on the direction of travel for equities. that's not just me talking,

that's the empirical analysis of u.s. equities. the a negative hit of 30 basis points and that's more than made up over the subsequent weeks. this is buffeting equities around without affecting the direction. amanda: let's talk about where you think we stand on the trade war front. we have industrials rallying today and size that there may be a reopening of china and it was good news of europe last week. are you beginning to discount the threat of the trade war? aremandel: i don't think we out of the was just yet, though i agree these are constructive signals to started with a medium-term outlook, what is the endgame of all of this? onhave negotiated solutions nafta, bilateral negotiations with china and perhaps with europe as well as we saw last week. that's a possibility. with theis consistent global factor affecting equities and her general risk posture and

portfolio as being fairly sanguine. outlook i think is the one be subject to a lot of the volatility that we have seen over the last few months. at a good example is the composition of the different fronts of the trade war. nafta is for all intensive purposes i would say deferred until 2019 after u.s. congressional elections. beginningat the very of a negotiated solution. the question is whether those constructive elements underwrite a more aggressive stance vis-à-vis china in the next round of tariffs. where is he a little bit of risk here being too optimistic is the fact that the next shoe to drop will be china. given the uncertainty, how do you hedge as an investor? good question. we think about that in terms of the global public opportunity set of asset classes and we think about that in terms of the opposition of our equity beforee and so i think

the trade war rhetoric corrupted, we were expressing our view that we like the u.s. as the defensive high-quality segment of your equity exposure. call on global growth green about emerging markets, thinking about japan is having element of that. the distribution in the trade as farslightly different as emergent markets do tend to bear the brunt of it. we underwent europe and no more neutral. benjamin mandel, jpmorgan investment global strategist. apple: alvaro -- returning results, investors hoping that people turn that around. we have angelo zino on the phone with us. let's start with your expectations for after the bell. is a lot of hope that apple will

was a sore point for samsung overnight. what are we expecting for apple? mr. zino: as far as phone sales are concerned, not much we are looking for on a year-over-year basis, typically the june quarter as their 12 quarter. we are looking at about $42 million -- 42 million unit shipments of a 2% increase year-over-year. i think more importantly is how the average selling price for the look like. we are looking for another double-digit increase that would mark the third straight quarter of year-over-year increases in terms of average selling prices and that of course reflects the easy comparables with the inclusion of the iphone x. about thewill ask you multiple that apple is trading at because x cash is something like 12 to 14. why such a low value for this company? mr. zino: historically, hard work of these have treated at below market multiples and that's always been the case with

apple. when you look at him historically they traded at a multiple of around 14 times over the last several years. seeingw is as you start higher revenue potential from that services business, we do think the street gets more excited about that in overtime we do expect the multiple to expand from apple. shery: we saw what happened with facebook and twitter, how much or how well does apple have to do in order to keep investors happy this time around? mr. zino: i think that's a great question and i think the question you just alluded to was with regard to the multiples, as a kind of tells you when we look at apple, it's a much different story than relative to the other faang names. the reason for it is the lower multiple trade that all seriously they don't have the growth rate that these have. i think because of that, the expectation is also lower.

our view is as long as you can kind of come in line or beach, which we expect them to do, if they can show that growth we are looking for on the services side of things, we do expect them to buck the trend relative to the performance we've seen from other tech names. amanda: what is there weak spot here? mr. zino: what was that? amanda: what is the weak spot? what could go wrong for apple? mr. zino: when it's also and done, if there's any kind of risk, i would say it's on the iphone shipments for the quarter. that being said, we think of this point of the cycle, investors are willing to kind of look away from that. amanda: great to have you with us. angelo zino, analyst at cfr eight. still ahead, deep freeze, the u.s. is giving canada the cold shoulder and recent attempts to engage on nafta. we dig into the details after

it was by august of would be a bilateral deal with mexico and it's probably not going to be a full deal, it might be an agreement in principle. the mexican government is in a transition right now, the old administration would like to get it their plate and the new administration like to not have to deal with it when they come into office very there is motivation to get something done with the mexicans. there is and with candidate at this point in the u.s. feels canada has not done enough to come to its position and they feel if they could strike a deal with mexico, that's going to put pressure on canada to make some concessions. of the big sticking point in the u.s. has been clear they can canada needs to compromise better has been the so-called sunset clause, the term on any new deal. is it your belief that mexico might be bending on that? heard any haven't

indication that mexico wants to give in on terminating the deal is part of a sunset clause that there was proposal strength of a mechanism where each side could give their approval of disapproval to nafta and maybe call for renegotiation every five years. they might go for that. the biggest issue with canada is one that isn't talked about a lot and that is supply management. of whether or not the united states is going to let canada continue with the theory price supports. ,he president not understand but he certainly as opposed and that is something that canada has said so far they're not going to give ground on. at least when i come to china, there may be some progress and secretary mnuchin is holding talks with the vice premier china. anything agreed on that front? michael: no. they agreed to talks about talks. a mechanism toat try to bring down the temperature on the possibility of a trade war, but the administration still could impose of the $16 billion worth of sanctions on wednesday when

i am mark crumpton. as is bloomberg. -- this is bloomberg. lisa: technical difficulties after a technical glitch wiped out $350 billion in market caps faangs fangs -- find -- phone a friend. they will be focused on revenue, iphone sales, and services growth. joining us from san francisco is mark gurman. what will the narrative be out of today's earnings? will it be diversification to a media company for apple? all those things. we are expecting two things that are on either side of the coin. have come iphone revenues because of a higher price of the iphone x are likely 15% top year-over-year 20%, which is perhaps excellent growth in the eyes of investors

and analysts. growth the sales ship during the quarter, we are not expecting that growth to be more than 2%. it could be anywhere from the zeros as a starting number 2%. not a lot of growth there. services on the other hand, 30%e talking about 25 to year-over-year revenue growth. services don't count you units because there's nothing tangible , toalculate read services your point about apple the coming of the media company, have notvice offerings changed. more people buying apps and subscribe and apple music, which is a good thing for the company because they are making so much headwind and getting lots of growth for dissing services offerings. when they come out with new services over the next couple of years, the growth will escalate more. that's what they want to focus the right now what they are is a phone company and the iphone makes up most of its look atread when you

the fiscal fourth quarter, everyone is going to be dissecting the growth margin exactlyand to determine what apple is go to do the next generation of iphones. you've been on top of the iphone releases, give us a sense of what to expect when apple released its plan for the next iphone cycle in september? mark g: analysts are estimated $50 billion to $60 billion for fourth-quarter revenues, which would be a little growth. what we are expecting our three new bottles -- models all around the iphone x. and then a much larger high-end premium phone that comes in well over $1000 with a bigger screen that looks like a giant iphone x. the real hit is going to be for the next year or so, this low-cost iphone x which is going to be a bit bigger than the iphone x and it's not going to have as good a screen, but it will have key features like the

iphone x edged as designed with the display and face id. that's going to be a hot seller if it's priced correctly around the same price as an entry-level of the iphone x -- the iphone 8 today which is six and $50 to $700. gurman, i know you would give us all the details. joining us over the phone right cross, andnon shannon has a buy rating on apple with a price target of $213. the fiscal third quarter for apple is typically described as the most worrying -- the most boring of the year because it comes because of death before the next big iphone upgrade. when you look at the numbers apple will be releasing today come on which metric is apple most likely to surprise, either to the upside downside? there's currency

playing into it, some of the component prices have been they did get the money, although it's not clear how much, from samsung from the settlements. i think people are looking to growth margin. the clearly have everyone is focused on what kind of phones are going to come out and what we can gather from the guidance they provide. we think apple is well-positioned this year, especially given the phone the mark was talking about, which is the lcd version at a very attractive rice point. -- price point. lisa: how important are the plans for buybacks? the share purchase is it announced in the last earnings period helps to bolster the share price. to cross: we expect them death we have $23 billion of repurchased during the quarter. we expect them to continue to be active and then obviously with

the catch generation they have, they can be very aggressive both in terms of dividends and share repurchasing for quite a long time. it has helped support the stock and it makes investors feel comfortable that management thinks this is not just an iphone company with being exposed to the vagaries of whether or not consumers want to buy an iphone or not. it's almost like you have recurring revenue from what's really a transactional purchase that people just a with iphone. exposed apple is very to the trade tensions between the u.s. and china. obviously this one a lot of scrutiny over what tim cook says with regard to the rushing tensions there. they can ship manufacturing to a lower cost basis, bangladesh or sri lanka.

can apple do that, do they have that capability? is there any place outside of china were factories can turn out person components that quickly at that scale? they get components from various places around the world and the salek everything is manufactured in china. and there'sosystem also a huge ecosystem of little , the connectors and things like that that aren't a technologically advanced but still very important. maintaining a healthy trade relationship is important for this company and frankly, selling in china is very important in terms of growth. i think tim cook will be very politic on the call and they are talking about what they are seeing in china. your biggest concern about today's release that could make you rethink your buy rating? ms. cross: again, this is the

quiet quarter. there is limited, part of that to me they just pushed a lot since october which will put it into the next quarter. it has not been a lot of news out that would be negative. think it's been fairly business as usual. facebook said identified ongoing effort to influence the u.s. elections using an authentic accounts and pages on the social network. we have the latest on that next. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ bloomberg. ♪

this effort in the very early stages, as sandberg said on the call, this is earlier than it would bring in people from the public, but they have been informing congress and the fbi and trying to work with the government to figure out who is doing this. the biggest question is what was the actor behind this, as she said, they have been a lot more careful about disguising their identities. we don't know enough yet were facebook tells us they don't know enough yet to say whether this was russia. congress people and senators are saying they believe this was russia. we do not know enough yet to say whether that is the case. in the meantime though, they identify this ongoing campaign directly the midterm elections in particular. 32 fake accounts and pages are removed. follow, of pushback or i want to bring in a tweet.

ahead. the actors are always catching they are always going to they willer thing try. so is a constant battle. sheryl sandberg noting this is earlier than facebook normally would tell people. as a partly because they are trying to get ahead of the issue and show they are being proactive to the public? is it working? separatest week at a call with journalists where they were trying to demystify how they are working the combat these threats and a lot of people asked them have you found any threats, have you seen anything?? and facebook said we are not in a position to tell you in that cause a lot of disappointments. the company is making these grand promises about how they elections andhe how they make sure there is no foreign meddling and interference in the democratic process.

then we kind of want to know what are you seeing in finding and how is it working? this week, it's almost a little bit in response to that as well. in addition to the fact that , theyt is coming up soon were slammed by the public for not disclosing early enough the fact that russia tried to intervene in the 2016 election. now they are trying to make up for that mistake. scarlet: bloomberg technology sarah frier joining us for his efforts as go. facebook shares up by .9% after a three day, 23% decline. news,g to earnings investors who stayed with the ceo credit suisse through his three-year turnaround, higher returns may finally be on the horizon. the firm's quarterly results added to signs its restructuring is nearing completion. some challenges still remain. we spoke with the ceo earlier today. >> we look at markets trading is
