headquarters in new york, i'm taylor riggs. amanda: live in toronto, i'm amanda lang. we are joined by our bloomberg and bnn bloomberg audiences. global stocks are taking a beating as trade tensions show few signs of easing up. that has investors fleeing to save havens. haves on the u.s. 10 year some to the lowest level since 2017. we will talk treasuries with the head of u.s. rates interest strategy at societe generale. and the mood ring of the future. developing ao be gadget that can recognize human emotion. a quick check on the major averages. we have seen a risk off atmosphere today. energy leading the decliners. across the board, we see weakness. auto,semiconductors, anything related to the ongoing trade dispute between the u.s. and china is displaying
1:33 pm
weakness. commentary suggesting that trade dispute could stretch into years, some are fearing. pricing in a lot of negativity here. west texas is slumping. the price of oil itself, a double whammy. trade tensions lead us to think the man may be weaker. getting. on stockpiles in the u.s., the highest since july 2017. not a good picture for the price of crude. the energy index slumping. a flight to safety is having gold rise as well. taylor: i love that you pointed out the 57 handle on crude. now we know that crude lower, dollar strength. this has been a dollar strength story ever since that december fed meeting. look at this long-term trend going up on dollar strength. this is interesting. we are pricing in a fed rate cut. we were talking about that this morning.
1:34 pm
lots of interesting divergences going on in the market, from what the fed wants, to what the market is pricing. take a look at the 10-year yield. down 20 basis points alone in the last month. take a look at this long-term trend. out, saying take some profits. look how far we have come down. at the bottom end, looking at the rfi. above 70 means we are overbought. below 30 means we are little bit oversold. we are approaching the oversold double or yields. that really means we are overbought. we know the price moves in verse two yields. a lot going on in the bond world. amanda: absolutely. let's get some insight on where these yields may go next. thank you for being with us. let's start with the reaction we are getting here. obviously, this feels like we are pricing in fear.
1:35 pm
are we also realistically pricing in reduced expectations for economic growth? >> is a combination of both. clearly there is an overshoot, the lowest level of the year. it's a combination of near-term risk to trade, trade negotiations, as well as potential for growth. mostly because of risks associated with the trade negotiations. talk to me about the levels we are seeing right now on a 10-year. is this the absolute level that is concerning, or the rate at which we got here that is concerning? >> we been relatively range bound. it is a confluence of factors. we saw that headlines on china, oil prices coming down. trading in line with oil prices. and weakness in global growth.
1:36 pm
data has been on the weaker side. it's been a combination of things that have led to the basis point rise we have seen today. taylor: talk about the inversion of the yield curve as well. some of the weaker data we have gotten -- i was taking a look [no audio] a recession in 2020. to me, the signals i'm getting from the yield curve are very much in line with the slowdown
1:37 pm
next year. youra: square for us outlook for interest rates. you are contrary to what the market is suggesting but also with the federal reserve is looking at. overlay that with the unknowns. is that could not reflect on what happened today with china. should they be, how does that change the picture? >> our view is it will be arranged on for the remainder of the year. last week we published a note saying it is skewed to the downside, toward lower yields. really, there are a variety of factors that are going to prevent yields from meaningfully rising, even to 2.50 over the near term. trade tensions with china is a key driver. globally, yields have been declining. the gravitational pull coming from overseas yield,
1:38 pm
are negative right now. that environment will keep the treasury anchored. what stands out is the market pricing of the fed. right now, the market is pricing in one cut october. -- for october. that means a little too soon for me and we got positive information yesterday in the minutes, the fed was positive. maybe the timing of at october rate cut seems a little early. i just do not buy into the scenario of an insurance rate cut. if anything, if the fed were to cut rates, they would cut several times, not just once. even in 1998, when they did an insurance cut, it was more than one cut. i would say the market is underpriced for cuts next year. amanda: we heard yesterday that they would need to see tariffs in place for a while to factor in inflationary effects. what to defend be doing, what is your thinking about this terrible double where me which could be headed the economies way, inflation coming from tariff, and a contraction from
1:39 pm
the demand side? >> they have given us the answer to that, patients. they will remain patient. answer to that, patience. will have aniffs impact on the u.s. consumer and inflation. it is just a matter of how long this lasts. in some respects, it could get resolved very quickly, but all indications are that this will drag on for a while. in that case, it will be to u.s. and global growth. taylor: talk to me about inflation. you mentioned earlier the big drop in oil prices. the 10-year breakevens. where have you seen inflation going? the fed indicated that they would be able to let it run hot
1:40 pm
but we have not been able to get 2%. >> we have not had 2% for a while for the past decade except for brief periods of time. we have not had 2% core pce. the other thing that is a little bit confounding, i'm not sure yet that inflation, the decline of inflation is transient. 2017 where they use the same word, transient, transitory, we had a discrete event, the mobile prices coming down on cell phones, data plans. that seemed transient to me. now the global inflation picture is a little bit more money -- muddied. we need the data to corroborate that, if inflation is, in fact, transient. i think this time is different 22017. amanda: great to have you with us, subardra rajappa.
