for the u.s. from china being under stress in terms of the economy and other steps congress in particular could take to inoculate or to prepare for some of the likely impacts? one thing i i would mention a particular is the currency devaluation. >> i think you mentioned it in terms of the risk for use in terms of financial exposure of holdings of written to be but there's also domestic business and workers. and so i was just curious what you think their particular things we have to be doing now in preparation for sort of predictable reactions? i guess i'll take it since i open that door. >> i agree with you that it is a potential risk, because certainly there are economists in china who are publicly advocated for sort of one step evaluation. so the value that renminbi by 20%-30% in one shot, as not only as against u.s. tariffs but also generally speaking, economists had believed that renminbi to be overvalued anyway for quite some time and to really sort of fulfill the markets expectation that the

the u.s. and china agreed to meet for high-level talks early next month. and another sign of a lukewarm ipo market. wework set to target a public evaluation far below the levels indicated in recent funding rounds. quick check on the major averages. we have a little bit of a risk on appetite today. better news on the trade file, in the form of a meeting next month in washington between the u.s. and china. investors filing back into stocks. you have the broader s&p 500 tracking toward an all-time high, and we have the defensives the only group suffering today. real estate, utilities are weak. financial, industrial, tech, on the upside. tech,ou drill into the take a look at the semis. the moves are pretty significant. intel, up 3%. nvidia up 5%. what this shows me is just how volatile this group has been as it waits the uncertainty over trade. while we have an update for the stocks today, stay tuned. shery: also stay tuned for those implement numbers coming up tomorrow. today, we have a mixed eco

the symbolism from the u.s. and china moving markets higher in .5%, also the msci asia-pacific, the goodwill gestures from both sides, from the u.s., a two week delay in the imposition of tariffs, a change in the mood ahead of that. we also understand in bloomberg that the chinese are considering going easier on u.s. imports of agricultural products, and that all of that seems to be behind what we are seeing in the latest news flow around trade. let's talk about the ecb. central banks around the globe refrain from sounding dovish. the ecb is expected to cut rates further below zero today, but the rise in doubters over mario draghi's radical measures have caused markets to eschew extreme easing. here is more with bloomrg's berger. >> this is likely to chip away from the likelihood that we get a stimulus package. policy makers are presenting half the euro area economy have expressed some opposition, that is in the dark think, in one of the telltale signs in the skepticism of france. the bank of france governor sig

u.s.'s almost as if the and china same to be intent on twoding the world into separate spheres just like really globalization in reverse. use a much more recent analogy, it's like the period ii and the cold war when there was soviet blocked comic-con and western doingies really not commerce with each other. that was not good for prosperity anyone. conversationst with the columbia business school this week. talked about u.s.-china trade. there's too much to be lost on both sides. if the united states and china don't work together. >> that is right. involved, yougos get other things aside from the economy involved like national security considerations, then up inakes sense sitting columbia and thinking about the economics of it, don't play that the real world. what we're seeing is there's logic by which the trade war instead of cooling off is heating up. it gets -- amplifies. on for a while longer. on for a while longer in terms of the war, sort we're talkingat about. generationsg-term, conse

firstly, we are very long the u.s. 90 plus percent u.s. and at least half of our securities businesses are here. this is an $18 trillion economy, the strongest and most important in the world. we have been aggressively building our asian business which is 14% or so of the company. with the trade talks, things have slowed across asia. but our job is to try and look past six months hiccups or slowdowns. certainly, my job is to think out five years. traders are thinking every five minutes, i'm trying to think five years. carol: can you do that in this environment? it does feel like we have been going back and forth. james: you have got to. we have been around for 85 years. we have been managing 2.6 trillion of people's money. they are not selling in and buying on the next, things actually move in small increments. it is things like the public markets or m&a transactions. but most of our core businesses are relatively immune to what is going on. you would not see the impact on our wealth management business. jason: let's talk about the public

u.s. in denuclearization talks and possibly mentioning that those could take place later this month presumably at the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly now this could well be north korea's way of bolstering its negotiating position and ahead of that also we know that north korea likes to mark anniversaries of just how the 71st anniversary of the founding of north korea and north korea knows that with the current u.s. administration it can get away with these sorts of tests u.s. president donald trump has said that he is not that concerned by short range missile testing but of course there is a concern here in south korea and also across the water in japan just about the nuclear the missile know how that is being acquired with each of these launches they do seem to be more sophisticated as time goes on russia ok on the private the latest from seoul thank you. president as peace talks with the afghan taliban are dead. by a delegation to the summit at camp david called off the talks afte

like move in different direction build the u.s. foreign policy is a very selfish one it is focused on the u. s. own interests i think for 100 percent well be with a little bit of an understanding or what their allies of formal allies believe or do not believe the rest is about how to promote the us interests how to defend the us values irrespective of what others say and this is very clearly the case under the trumpet ministration so i would say that it took so long to establish that understanding on dec inflicting in syria with the us because the us was interested to avoid situations where. their troops their people could be put in danger there for a spot in jeopardy because of misunderstandings on the part of russia and for that case also on the part of the syrian government so we take it at face value we do not underestimate the effectiveness of this but we do not think there is much over neger or desire on the part of the us to come forward to you know stretch handle whatever to the approaches or ideas which we promote it is sp

u.s. president donald trump claims of a white house walking down and covering up evidence of a president abusing his power with one eye on the next election tonight president has reportedly compared the whistleblower to a spine committing treason that as the u.s. is spy chief today told congress i believe the whistleblower did the right thing i'm bringing off in berlin this is the day. yesterday we were presented with the most graphic evidence yet. that the present united states has betrayed his oath of office it just seems to me though that if you saw the president that i would also say i think that it's decision by the president yesterday to release the transcripts of his conversation with the president of ukraine is probably unprecedented as well. so did anybody you or anybody in your office leaked this to the washington post a.b.c. news. ranking member of the intelligence community we've got to keep a secret. also coming up tonight iran and the united states all this week at the united

if the u.s. consumer hangs in there, and i appreciate you saying the data shows a few cracks, but not many. iain: there are a few. we had discussions around impeachment and treasury yields went lower. it took one comment that maybe we will get a deal done soon, and suddenly treasury is up 10 basis points. that is what the market is focusing on. they would like to see some form of resolution on trade, and that will be important. vonnie: is 170 where we stay until we have some sort of a trade deal? iain: it feels that way. we have had daily volatility, but we have been stable this week. major through some pretty central bank events. we had the ecb, the fed, and now the focus is on this round of trade talks that is supposed to be happening early october. obviously, at the moment there is scheduled to be an increase in tariffs october 15. that is what the markets will focus on. for now, i think we had the big rally during august. we had a backup in yields in september. i think we probably stabilize h

the u.s. does not feel like we are in the speculative bubble type of environment. lower growth, lower rates, moderate inflation. we actually look forward to more volatility in the marketplace. we hope this political noise creates some pockets of volatility and opportunities to be more active. george: certainly, could use more volatility in the markets, more opportunity. it is either a distraction or catalyst. a catalyst to getting some trade deals done with the u.s. and china potentially. that seems a little far-fetched. it seems like more of a distraction now. what is lost in this is usmca. if that gets through, that could add half a percent to gdp. when you are coming off of a year with procyclical features coming off, half a percent to gdp could be significant. jonathan: some of these issues are incredibly volatile from one day to another. i tried to get a baseline from pimco in what they were looking for in 2020. looking for 1% growth next year. growth slowing to something like only 1% in

weapons that the u.s. is sending that they're not sending only this moment defensive weapons the u.s. of course is sending off ends of weapons that the saudis are using against yemenis just this week $22.00 civilians in yemen were killed in a saudi attack an airstrike on a market and a house more than that were wounded and we're hearing almost nothing about that we're hearing much more about the attack on the oil facility than we are about the killing of a human beings in yemen so this is of escalating the situation overall across the region or phyllis bennis there if i so much. thank you so much iran's president says his country will of course engage in talks with the u.s. but only if sanctions are lifted 1st some rouhani made the comments at a news conference on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly in new york but he reiterated that the trump administration's current tactics are not working. it was very clear that the path chosen by the u.s. from the onset would never succeed so despite t

weapons the u.s. government feels that they need to back saudis without any question that's why they're backing. the war in yemen that the saudis are engaging in you know in u.s. congress there was a bill that was passed both republicans and democrats voted for us to start with the white house to stop its support. for the saudi government. because many people. realized. it's not going to be successful and us is part of that what is responsible for that one and the. to kill innocent or going to . be the basis. because of that or the asian ship the u.s. government. backing saudis and the issues not just with regard to yemen when it comes to the saudi very difficulty is that u.s. has been supporting saudi conflict and. so saudis don't know how to find policy the u.s. is. their lead. and it's good for us president to be waiting for some saudi crown. what. they want to do in the us government used to be much more serious much more. there are. seems to be a joke if you see in trump's. shows a very confused

and secondly, u.s. priorities shifted rapidly after the desert storm war, the madrid peace process began, the first bush administration was invested in that, pushed it hard, iran was very much an opponent and that soured prospects for better relations. so, i would score the first bush administration as a period of containment, even though there was talk about engaging, pursuing engagement, but that never got off the ground. the early clinton period largely continued this. the clinton administration was pursuing many of the same goals as the bush administration the -- in the middle east, especially the israeli-palestinian peace process, which morphed into the oslo process under clinton. also in the early clinton years, iran was carrying out a lot of terrorist attacks, especially in europe, but also elsewhere, assassinating iranian exiles and also a couple of attacks in argentina and elsewhere. so, this is a time in which iran was really being rather schizophrenic, on one hand being open to the united sta

the u.s. we are seeing futures unchanged, after a mixed closed on this there's day. we have the dow moving more than 50 points. the s&p 500 finishing unchanged. we had a boost earlier in the session coming from white house economic advisor larry kudlow sounding more optimistic on trade. then we had another trump advisor hinting at 50 21 -- 50% to 100% tariffs on chinese goods. rising uncertainty on trade, not to mention the oecd cutting global growth forecasts. that led to our haven demand bonds rallying for a fourth consecutive session and the 10 year yield sitting at that 178 level. not see how things are shaping up in asia. we are this friday, potentially seeing a muted start for asian stocks. bonds drifting as treasuries nudge higher. tensions will be on china's loan prime rate. expecting a cut of 10 basis points to the lp year. slipping and banks track the drop in tokyo. this as the boj helped, while hinting at further easing in october. plus today, we are watching for the fed to inject m

from the u.s. president i mean in the past with this though apparently appearing to be a step backwards we also have to bear in mind that president trump has a campaign promise that is with joran american troops from afghanistan do we think that he will deliver on this now he might still try to pull troops out in faces as was obviously one of the key elements of this framework agreement i wouldn't still call it an end in the studio because for that you would need afghans at the negotiating table but hey the f. going back to field is very very crowded and even if we get to a framework agreement with some american troops being pulled out it doesn't mean that we see you know african peace blossoming the very next day because the afghan government is not in there and also you must keep in mind that we have an afghan government which doesn't seem to be on the same page there are a lot of frictions within that government as well so the road to peace is still long and that will also determine how quickly

u.s. president donald trump says he's almost certain the weekend drone attacks on a boil installations in saudi arabia were carried out by iran those strikes cut saudi oil production in half but trump hasn't given any proof of tehran's ball but what it now says the u.s. won't rush to react also coming up because. swedish environmental activist grace had to birth is on her part human rights group amnesty international 1st leading mass protest to fight climate change. and u.s. whistleblower edward snowden says that government surveillance and internet giants are a greater threat to privacy than ever before as his autobiography goes on sale. hello i'm next by sir welcome to the program. u.s. president donald trump appears to have softened his stance on a possible military strike on iran on sunday he sounded poised to strike as american officials were dispatched to saudi arabia to assess how the strikes were launched on a saudi oil field in a refinery and who was to blame on monday the america

if the u.s. dollar gets more strong, i think that will put pressure on the emerging markets currency. romaine: earlier you mentioned the idea that central bank policy around the world would be accommodative, but then you have the fed, the elephant in the room. if the fed were to get more aggressive, rather than these cuts two months apart, and they really went hard, do you think fedould sustain that if the cut 25 basis points all at once? on theink it depends reason the fed will go to that path. if it is a concern of a global recession, i think emerging markets would suffer. if it is more like insurance cuts, we would see emerging markets would take it as more optimistic. romaine: thanks for joining us, lale akoner, emerging markets strategist. let's get a check of the latest business flash headlines. walmart says it is going to discontinue the sale of handgun and short barrel rifle ammunition. it is asking customers to refrain from open carrying inside the store, even when state law allows it. t

the u.s. need a trade deal right now every day china does not do a trade deal, more companies diversify supply chain away from china. that's not a good story for long planning when china wants to see 2025 be made in china as a goal, and for the u.s. i think for the administration i think the administration really plans to make every effort it can to get re-elected and so i think we come out of this and the markets have been so resilient, the third quarter may have been just edging slightly higher, basically, flat the positive bias in return for the s&p before dividends and the most recent quarter. but generally speaking, if you look at a stream that shows you all your returns globally, most markets are green and some substantially so which would indicate to us that the markets are expecting some kind of a trade deal, some move that is significant towards normalcy. >> samantha, the big question is related to that is what specifically seems right now to be priced in and captured by the market in

the key question for the u.s. economy is when does the u.s. say,mer really get, let's concerned enough or worried enough to change behavior? as long as u.s. consumption and retail sales continue to be relatively robust, i think the u.s. economy will enjoy some insulation from the rest of the world. if we have a big shock, an enormous thing happens, all bets are off, clearly. it was interesting to see that so far, it is interesting to see that so far, the oil shock has not really materialized. oil price shock, from the attacks on the saudi facilities. 10 or 20 years ago, that could have driven oil prices to double. it is just a different world in terms of vulnerabilities. paul: that oil question is an interesting one, isn't it, because iran cohead room -- have removed 40% of that lost from the weekend strike. somethingms, that is we have theorized about for a while, in terms of risk. and now it has happened. it seems safe to assume that is not the end of it, that will not be the last one we ever see. is not a risk that you are closely -- is tha
