David fed officials risk making a mistake, it will be difficult to fix if they hike rates. Thats a warning that Larry Summers gave in an interview with tom keene in dubai. Larry in a world where error is inevitable, its much better to make easily reversed errors than to make difficult to reverse errors. I believe a decision to delay rates runs risks that are easily reversed by subsequently raising rates. Where is the decision to raise rates, if it proves to have been the wrong decision, is a much more difficult decision to correct. David for more on the risks surrounding the fed expecting to raise, im joined by michael. Effect,ing that in there is some risk to raising rates of having to go back on it. Michael thats been the risk all along. Forever,t apply thats been one of the reasons why theyve held off much longer than a standard policy would suggest. In the committees judgment, the gun to the point where the risks are coming too late and having to catch up, which could be costly, he understates the cost of perhaps having to catch up if it gets out of hand. It seems like their judgment is at the point where the risks are starting to tilt in the other direction. David i want to get your prediction on the announcement we will get tomorrow, without some Strong Movement in the credit markets. We are seeing those come back to normal, or more normal today. We had china look at a different balance of currencies. Would you think will happen . Michael the fed cant react to every day today move in financial markets. The decisionmaking processes been underway since the middle of last week, anyways. As far as tomorrow, we do expect a hike this far in the quarter. We expect the statement will convey no presumption that they are going to be moving in a study manner after tomorrow. The interestexpect rate forecast to show generally a gradual pace of increase, similar to what we saw in september. Overall, i think the message coming out tomorrow will be we are hiking, but dont assume we are off to the races in terms of future hikes. David i wonder what if anything we learn about future hikes tomorrow. Ira member talk of an implementation note coming with this announcement tomorrow. Are you going to be able to learn to much more about what will happen in the new year . Michael it will be a novel aspect of what we are going to see. A lot of it is really technical details. The terms of what we are going to learn about future hikes, i think theyre going to say were going to do this once, respond and observe more data, and then we will redesigned as we get into the new year. Another dual have any sense of a set plan for how policy is going to proceed from here on out. David how will the committee assessed the accuracy efficacy of what it does . Michael they are in no rush. They have to watch economic data. They want to see whether higher Interest Rates are affecting the dollar and trade, how its affecting Mortgage Rates in the markets. And ultimately, how its infecting inflation. We wont have a good sense of that, i think, for a couple of months time, which is fine with the committee. I do think there are in any rush to get the next one off. David i wonder if you think we will learn anything tomorrow about how the fed plans on tricking the Balance Sheet . Think not. I think in the initial stages they want to keep attention ond just on the past the path for shortterm. The decision on the Balance Sheets are months if not quarters away. David you may ask you about todays inflation numbers. Is that something that the fed cares about . Cpi and describe credence . . Michael its interesting that now,pi is actually a 2 even though the core pc is that 1. 3 . ,he fed has been taking note whether its the core cpi, they are selling a more reassuring message about where inflation is right now.

Income, sharesd railing the most in almost 40 years today after the company vowed to reverse declines in its bond trading business. Particular,ng in 16 we expect a return to normal profitability. Joining us is catch up or the con scheme katia porzecanski, to talk about that. In the last quarter, they lost 80 million. David lizas this bank in particular having so much trouble . Katia they really specialize in niche things, like distress trading, energy trading, they do leveraged loans and leverage lending. Particularareas in that are affected by anticipation of the fed hike, and also Energy Prices down about 55 in the last quarter, with a fiscal quarter that ended in november. David any sign that things were going wrong . Banking was upnt quite a bit, that helps them overall have gains for their whole business. But even within investment banking, their debt underwriting was down 50 . They took on a lot of leveraged loans, and we saw they were part of this consortium of banks that are now stuck with this debt that they landed to carlisle to buy out symantec. They cant get that off their books. If they get that off their books, they could sell them at a loss. Even that, we still to see how that turns out. There also able to cut costs a lot. Lets talk about the promise of return to profitability. How they are going to turn things around. Katia they are taking steps to assuage investors. They were hiding from investors for a few years, ever since they were bought and basically taken private. When they came out, they had an investor day and told everyone were going to be reducing risk and volatility. Now they are putting their money where their mouth is. In this release today, they said they are going to be cutting their leverage, they already cut it to below 9 , which is a sevenyear low. They reduce their Balance Sheet by 6 billion from last year, which is really good in terms of keeping a risk on their Balance Sheet or taking it off. ,hey are also reduced in energy and distressed energy. They reduce their exposure there to 39 Million Dollars from 70 million in the last quarter. They are really trying to fix the areas they give them a lot of problems. David thank you. That is katia porzecanski, with bloomberg news. We look at how Financial Services are bracing for the shift. My conversation with the bank ceo, coming up next. David welcome back to Bloomberg Markets. Its looking like a lily Federal Reserve will nudge Interest Rates higher tomorrow. Is looking likely the Federal Reserve will raise rates tomorrow. I think lost in all of this is the consumer, wondering what this is going to mean for him taking out a mortgage. What is the effect going to be . On rates, is not going to be that significant. Mortgage rates are tied in to the 10 year treasury, its not going to move much after this rate hike tomorrow. And the significance of it isnt that great. For a home equity line, its insignificant. David how is the landscape changed for you as the bank . In the past, there was a greater need, its not the case as much anymore. In the cost of can tries franchise is key. Anyone can give the money out. Bring that money and seek and its you can fund the growth is really challenging. David i wonder when we look at how is thateness, played out as you see it for consumers over the last few years . I wonder about the psychology of the Banking Industry . Kevin its allow the consumer to do leverage. In 2008, whole aspect of the economy were overleveraged. Its also a Large Population of the segment a large cingulate a large segment of the population to seniors. We may have stated the party too long. David how vocal have Regional Banks been about the need to raise rates, or the Economic Situation generally . Tied into the economy. Its not just about rates, its about what goes on in washington. Reform, arporate tax more proactive Business Environment to help businesses, especially Small Businesses grow and start, and hopefully improve the economy with more jobs. David are you satisfied you are being heard out . Banks,that regional Smaller Banks were saying they didnt have a seat at the table, they were being heard. Is that beginning to change . Results, idoddfrank think its becoming more working relationship. It is getting better. We crossed over 10 billion write a long time that came into focus. Our relationship with the regulars is very good. David at jpmorgan, we were talking about the pace at which these rates i go up here it must do you concern yourself with that . There is a newness to the situation, having rates low for so long, wondering whats going to happen and how thats going to play out. A lot of uncertainty, it seems like. Thats why tarp take some of that uncertainty out. Curve is notyield good for banks. At the short end if he goes up quickly, and the long end, the tenure in fiveyear dont move very well, that will her Regional Banks. Thewhen you look at psychology. When you talk to people who come to your banks, do they have this figured out . It such an abstract sense, such a macro level. What people told you about how its affected them . Kevin its about the confidence of the consumer. Howworker and the economy, comfortable does he feel with job security, raises, things like that. I think the impact of inflation. Right now, the dollar is surging. Imports are cheaper. If we were in a normal rate environment, we wouldnt be raising rates.
