Global news 20 for hours a day on air and on bloombergquint take powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts. Im Karina Mitchell. This is bloomberg. Back to you. Shery coming up, dont miss our exclusive interview with st. Louis fed president James Bullard on the road ahead for the u. S. Economy. Gilbert tells us the recovery in the market is likely to slow more. This is bloomberg. Clearly, the mood has soured on a number of fronts that has created some air pockets for the market. The dollar has spiked today. We have seen the yields falling a little bit. I think a lot of it is atmospheric. Some of it is we have just come off a couple of weeks where investors are starting to question the valuations. Then, we already knew as you get into the end of the year, as we get into the colder months, the virus numbers are going to pick up. We have the u. S. Election approaching. This is almost a perfect storm for a lot of volatility. If the market is moving, the reallife vol is up a lot. I think theres uncertainty around the election that will stay with us for a period after the election. Earlierome of the guests of the selloff we are seeing. Lets get more insight on those moves. Our next guest says valuations may be causing markets to take a second look at tech. Joining us is wealthwise financial ceo loreen gilbert. Chairman powell is excited to reiterate how virus dependent the recovery is an have a long way there is to go on how quickly and resiliently the economic recovery could go. Does that mean we will still continue to see the decoupling between the real economy and what we have seen with the euphoria of markets . Loreen yeah, i think we are experiencing right now a number of things that are affecting the markets. What is a stimulus tantrum that we have not received any new stimulus news in the month of september which we have been awaiting. We also have this talk of increased lockdowns or relocking down the economy. With that really means in the markets is theres going to be a decrease in demand if people get locked up again which would mean we have to go to a risk off move that is what we have seen in the markets today. Haidi lets talk about tech because we talk about this market nearing a formal correction. You take a look at the valuations we see across a lot of the tech darlings. These are stocks still up between 50 and 200 year to date. Can we really say we are close to any kind of bottom . Or do you find the reentry point if you are not already invested . Loreen i think we certainly said that technology is the way of the future and it has been an area that recovers the fastest and was on the leaderboard. When you do look at those valuations, we are still remaining above are averages over the longterm it really puts us in valuations that exceed our 25 year averages. When you look at that, you have to be cautious. Having said all of that, i think this is somewhat of a normal pullback in the markets and that is good for the markets to kind of regroup again. For those investors that thought they may have missed out on opportunities anin technology, this is a time to be looking at those darling names that investors want to hold and look for opportunities to buy in as they have pulled back quite a bit. I would say look for those has ways to enter into the market. Shery no wonder we are seeing so much volatility. Tech volatility, according to this chart on the bloomberg, surging to almost a higher level since the bubble the dotcom bubble. Today, we have seen dip buyers getting into the market, the bullish reversal in tech. I have to say, how risky is this narrative when we are looking towards a president ial election, and no matter who gets elected whether it is democrat or republican in the white house, we are expected to continue this discussion of antitrust, that no matter who is in congress and the white house, these conversations are expect it to ramp up. Loreen i completely agree with that. I think no matter who wins this election, there is volatility leading up to the election and potentially after the election. Whenever theres uncertainty, the markets dont like uncertainty. Right now, theres quite a bit of uncertainty when it comes to antitrust, that you just mentioned, that would affect those largecap tech names that we have seen, as well as potential tax proposals that could impact corporate profits between 5 and 10 . Looking at all of those things has the markets nervous. For investors to continue to look for more volatility through this fall leading up to the election. I in the meantime shery in the meantime, given we continue to hear the economy remain supported by fiscal and Monetary Policy, when would it be time to get into those cyclical names and value names . Loreen thats what we are talking to investors about. Look to other areas of the market. Today, some of those areas got hit pretty hard when you look at industrials, materials got hit, financials got hit. Those are some of the names that could be leaders of the future. I say where we go from here when we look at Market Drivers is the market is looking for fiscal stimulus as well as a vaccine approval. When we see that happen, which i do think we will see both of those happen, sooner or later, but when we do see that happened, the market will respond in a positive way. Even with all of these headwinds we are looking at today, whether it be increased china tensions, stimulus questions, and lockdowns, what we know is the recovery is taking longer than we all had hoped which is what we said all along that we expected a w shaped recovery. With that, expect that w and know it will come to the other side. We do think there will be a rally on the other side of this once we get that vaccine. Shery loreen gilbert, always great having you with us, healthwise financial ceo. Watching closely any headline related to the coronavirus as fatalities approach the one million mark with a number of infections continuing to increase. Dr. Joshua sharfstein spoke to bloomberg about what number will make people really woerle. There is exponential growth and the curve is pretty steep. Really,in a few days you could get to double the number of cases that you have before. You have to really do something to control the spread of that point before you really start to see it takeover. When you look at some of the things we were looking at, what do we understand about why more people catch it but less people end up in hospitals . Is it because it is laggard or because it is a different type of population that is catching the virus right now . I think it is a combination of factors. One is we are finding the virus and more people that are at lower risk so the rate of people getting very sick is lower. The other thing is theres a better understanding of the virus. For people who do get sick, they can get oxygen faster. If they go into the hospital, theres better treatment for them so they are less likely to die. It is the pretty deadly and it is the legacys that everyone is rolling the dice if they get it, because even younger people can get quite sick. Why is it some of the vaccine trials in the u. S. But not in the u. K. . Great question. Theres obviously concerned about the adverse effects that were found, for the potential adverse effects. Thinking about the transverse myelitis and the other conditions that show up in the trial. In the u. K. , they may feel comfortable moving forward. The u. S. May still be asking for information. I think it would be great for both the regulators to be exciting there thinking, otherwise it could look confusing. If theres one thing we are trying to understand, there is so much of a dispute about the timeline. Doesnt really matter to keeping people healthy if we have it in december or the First Quarter of 2021 . We want a safe and effective vaccine as quick as we can, but its got to be safe and effective. I think the election has distorted the discussion of the timeline in the united states, but most people seem to think the trials are on track to report results later this fall. That would drive what happens after that. I think we are in for a period where we will be hearing about multiple vaccines, we will try to set up a Distribution System which will be challenging for certain kinds of vaccines because of the requirements, and people will have a lot of questions. Just really important for us to have a clear, consistent, scientific voice guiding that to inspire confidence not just in the general public, but the Health Care System so that people can turn around and recommend it with full confidence to their patients. Joshua sharfstein there speaking to bloomberg. A reminder that the school is supported by michael bloomberg, founder of bloomberg lp and bloomberg philanthropys. Coming up, speculation the Appeals Court judge Amy Coney Barrett could be President Trumps pick to succeed ruth bader ginsburg. We will get the latest rate ahead. This is bloomberg. Shery President Trump moving towards nominating Amy Coney Barrett as his pick to replace the late ruth bader ginsburg. Trumpswas one of Supreme Court finalists in 2018 when he replaced anthony kennedy. Lets get more from our government congressional leadership reporter emily wilkins. What do we know about this judge and the timeline of when the vote could finally happened . Emily the timeline is a little bit up in the air, although it seems very likely it is going to happen before the end of the year. The question is will the vote come before or after election day . Trump said today he wants a Supreme Court pick before november 3. He thinks it is going to be a net positive for republicans. However, it remains to be seen a little bit. There are some lawmakers out there, republicans who are in very difficult races that are representing states that lean heavily democratic. If they take this vote, that might mean democrats wind up with control of the senate next year. Impactin terms of the potentially this nomination and the filling of the Supreme Court vacancy could have on the coronavirus stimulus bill, i am wondering the implications of that. I want to point out we are now looking at life pictures of the president speaking, making comments at a rally in dayton, ohio at the moment. Emily the chances for coronavirus stimulus, they didnt look good last week, they look even worse now. The filling of this report vacancy will overshadow a lot of the senates work for the next several months, potentially the end of the year. Keep in mind, the coronavirus stimulus bill is also competing for time and attention with a bill to fund the government before october 1 because at that point, we have a government shutdown, something both sides have expressed they dont want. There are still some negotiations and agreements that need to be reached before we have a bill to fund the government. Those are two of the big priorities right now and the relay has not been that much of any sort of indication that republicans and democrats are closer to an agreement. Wilkinsll right, emily the latest in washington. Lets get a check of the latest headlines. Tesla say it may make its own battery cells to meet demand even as it ramps up orders from outside. Elon musk tweeted the possibility ahead of the Company Annual Shareholder Meeting and annual battery day presentation which is expected to showcase innovations aimed at maintaining teslas lead.

Still ahead, a Global Economics correspondent Kathleen Hays will be speaking to a big guest. What do you have coming up . Kathleen jim bullard, president of the Federal Reserve bank of st. Louis. Hes often, i would say, a scene setter, a thoughtprovoking on the federal open market committee. Last week after the fed meeting, jim says he things the new framework, target inflation at 2 on average, in requiring it holds up average and overshoot before the fed even thinks about raising rates. We will ask him about that. He is pretty upbeat on the economy, for the Third Quarter and beyond, and thinks that will help the fed reach its inflation target. Target for been on eight years since the start of 2012. Thats another thing put before jim. What has changed . Is the new framework your magic weapon . Keep it right here.

Kathleen i want to welcome our Bloomberg Television viewers and radio listeners all over the world for an exclusive interview. St. Louis fed president James Bullard joins us live now, hot on the heels of last weeks Federal Reserve meeting and ahead of fed chairs jay powell testimony before Congress Later on tuesday. Well computed a lot going on now, is in there . Mr. Bullard great to be here. Kathleen great to talk to you. Lets get right to looking back a couple of days, big stories. The Federal Reserve really took this new framework, this average 2 inflation target to heart. Put out a Forward Guidance saying no rate hikes until inflation gets a 2 and stays there. Its in the process of overshooting as well. One thought it was too specific and would tie hands, the other not specific enough. Where do you stand with the majority . Do you have any sympathies . Mr. Bullard i definitely support the decision. I thought the chairman did a good job in translating the framework into actual policy at this meeting. I think we were under some pressure that the framework review would translate and would come to the actual policy statement. Was ay how to do that matter the chairman does. We got it about right. Onhleen you have said friday, you think this new guidance is going to work. It is going to help get the fed to 2 inflation. Why . The fed has not been able to get the inflation rate at 2 and hold it there for most of the last eight years since a started targeting inflation back in 2012. Why is this going to work now . Mr. Bullard i think it has a good chance of working. I think the simple version of this is that the federal the fed will be much less preemptive about trying to raise rates to contain inflation when inflation is below target. All in not preemptive at that situation and instead wait for inflation to come up to the 2 andand then exceed then try to make decisions about what to do with that point. Instead of bringing in the ideas from the 80s and 90s where they always had to be a step ahead of inflation in order to keep them in control, we are in the narrow where we dont have to really do that. The pointlly come to where we will not behave that way anymore. Kathleen that makes sense. I think we can understand that it has been talked about for the last several months now. That help boost inflation to 2 . Do you think it will change Inflation Expectations that people will suddenly pay more . Or is it to make sure you dont make the same mistakes that many say starting to raise rates to quickly. Is policymakers but also the shocks coming from the real world and we have a big one right now. React lessked aggressively, think that will lead to higher Inflation Expectations and will end up exceeding the target. If there was ever a time you thought maybe the ingredients are in play for inflation, youve got gigantic fiscal deficit combined with a more relaxed central bank and really rapid growth. You probably will get some inflation, i think, even in the nearterm over the next year. I dont think it will be quite as it was before the pandemic. Kathleen you also said on friday that you see as many people do, this massive rebound in thirdquarter gdp. People are looking 25 , 30 . Reason why iter will help get inflation on track to 2 . I want to ask a couple of specifics. It does not seem like there will be a stimulus package passed before the election and hard to say when it will be passed after. What does that do to your forecast . Think thed yeah, i original fiscal package that was passed in march and april, several bills altogether, but the cares act in particular, that was really calibrated to a bigger shock than the one that actually developed. We are certainly in a pandemic and it is causing a lot of disruption but not as big as what they were thinking at that time. Ist we ended up doing borrowing 10 to 14 of gdp. If you look at current forecasts for this year, it looks like gdp or National Household income will only be down 2 3 to 4 . Who have really borrowed quite a bit to cover a whole that now does not look like will be quite as big. Im hopeful we still have enough in the pipeline to push us through, get the growth going in the second half of the year. That seems to be whats happening in the Third Quarter and will continue in the Fourth Quarter and the first part of next year. I think we might be ok here. I dont think there is as much of an imperative about a new fiscal package as there might july or as it might have seemed in august or july. Kathleen are you referring to the imperative for congress to do something maybe they dont feel it as much or are you also saying given all the things you have said about the economy and the stimulus that was already past, maybe it is not as necessary as we thought . Said more officials stimulus is needed. It would put the recovery at risk. What exactly are you saying . Mr. Bullard my point is what people were thinking was that 2020, at the end of the year, Household Income would be down 10 , a percent, Something Like that. We went out and borrowed 10 or more on International Markets to try to cover that. Householdy looks like income only be down 3 to 4 at the end of the year. And we still went out and got 10 . It seems like in some broad Macro Economic type of calculation, we have enough resources to cover that. Its unevenly distributed and there are many issues around exactly how it gets too disruptive households and that is very important but as far as the total size, i think we might be ok and we might be able just sustain our coverage. Kathleen still not sure i understand how you think this is going to make inflation rise. After so long of not getting to do percent, we still have high the u. S. Ent, weve got and global economy. Technology, the internet still having to hold prices down because you can compare prices with everything. You go on and on. You dont think that will stand in the way of 2 inflation, particular when we are coming out of a pandemic . Marketlard the labor linked to inflation has proven to be quite weak and getting weaker over the last 20 years. I think one of the things i would stress is it does not seem like labor markets go one way or the other that really has all that much impact on inflation anyway. And then youve got all this other volatility going on with a huge disruption coming from the pandemic. I am hearing a lot from sources, contacts in the district about bottlenecks, supply chain and even difficulty of hiring workers. All these things seem to be the kind of thing that you would see in an economy where prices were going to go up, some of the crisis were going to go up. We will see what happens. , but i thinkure the ingredients are there for more inflation. As fed people, Monetary Policy people, we dont react as aggressively as we might have in earlier eras, that inflation will materialize and be at 2 . I am thinking could inflation accelerate much more quickly than people are looking for . Less free trade potentially as all these questions are raised between the u. S. And china and others. There has been a flood of liquidity from the cares act, the jobless benefits, loans to small businesses. Then money supply. 20 so far this year. Home prices rising. Stocks are correcting but they have this monstrous rally. Is there a tender that could catch fire and maybe change those dots . Could there possibly be a rate hike before 2023 . Mr. Bullard on the rate hikes, i dont think so because the committee is essentially saying that even if that process got going and lets not get ahead of ourselves, it has not started yet, but even if that process got going, the committee would not react as aggressively as we would have in the past. I think at least the initial reaction would be to let that run and let that inflation process go and look good for a while. I think thats where we are. We will just have to see. Timesincredibly volatile as far as Macro Economic data. These are unprecedented movements and a lot of the Macro Economic aggregates. Kathleen i think a lot of people who follow closely are asking moderate inflation overshoot, average inflation. Jay powell stepped back and said he did not want to be mechanistic but is it just a simple how i would define average 2 or is it something median versus Something Else . Are you guys still trying to figure that out . We are very specific on that but i think it is a Big Committee and you need to have bigtime language. It is going to be a Committee Judgment exactly about how to define these terms. From my point of view, we were willing to go with inflation being a half a percent below target for quite a while. It seems like you could go with inflation being half a percent above target for a while if you want that average to be 2 . Properly, yout would keep Inflation Expectations anchored right at 2 and markets would understand you have to compensate for misses on the low side. It remains to be seen whether we can execute that in the years ahead, but i am hopeful we can be successful. Kathleen we are all hopeful for you and for us. Maximum inclusive employment, any definitions on that yet . A lot of discussion if the fed, inclusive, broader than just a specific number. If the fed is perhaps pledging to do something that in the end it will not be able to do and set themselves up for failure and maybe a bit of blame down the road . Mr. Bullard i have always felt Macro Economics was about everybody in society i have always viewed it that way and thought about it that way. I thought the word inclusive was just helping us to reinforce the idea that we do care about the entire economy and want the itire economy to do well think it was good to reiterate that that this is not just a policy for certain people or certain firms around the economy. Everybody andout we want everybody to do well. Kathleen what about quantitative easing . The whole presser did not really talk about it. You cap the amount of treasuries steady for now. For you, what would make you think we have to raise it, decreased it . Where do you stand on that . Mr. Bullard we were a lot quieter about the Balance Sheet policy. I think partly that is because we are in a good place right now. On at apurchases going healthy pace. We are still in the middle of a crisis. I think all of that, we are in good shape on. Decademittee in the last has been notably more quiet about exactly what the Balance Sheet policy could be because it is harder to write down rules and it is far more judgmental than the Interest Rate part of the policy. That is why you dont see Balance Sheet projections and there are not dots on the Balance Sheet policy. It just is not enough agreement. Policies. S of those we got to where we can get on that and i think we have a pretty good policy right now. Kathleen final question. We look back, 2016, you surprised, maybe not the people at the fed but the world of fed watchers when the fed started raising rates and you said, wait a minute, you didnt see any rate increases until there was a regime change of some kind to really shift the economy. Targeting inflation was meant to prevent inflation from moving too high. Now the fed has said we will let it run. Are you adopting this at the wrong time just as the fed started targeting inflation when you didnt need to keep it low . We have named the inflation target in 2012. The idea was to get more credibility and maybe move inflation up by naming the inflation target. That is what materialize over this era. Viewers thator the i think the main issue is the appreciation of the effect of lower bound on Interest Rates and the appreciation that is causing a distortion in actual inflation outcomes is pulling inflation down more than we would like and making us miss our inflation target street that is what we want to get rid of here. The whole idea of inflation targeting was developed in a world where people did not think about the zero lower bound. That was not part of the equation. Doing orbits of the planets but forgetting jupiter or something. We would have to recalculate. Verything yo youwhat we have learned is have to fix that with this new policy. I hope we are making a good push in the right direction to get inflation to 2 . Kathleen it would be a shame to look over jupiter, wherever that is in the Monetary Policy universe.
