the u.s., canada and mexico are not there. the u.s. domestic political situation is divided over nafta and the trump administration's approach. we would be very shocked if we got word of a deal today. so it looks like no congressional consideration of nafta this year. >> what does that mean for the negotiations, for how this plays out in the coming months? >> it looks like we're going to be in the long haul. it's interesting that president trump's approach to trade and his trade representative bob lig lighthiser, they agree with some groups on the left in terms of the need for changing the way the international trading system works, rebalancing it towards american workers, even if that means getting rid of some of the trade at the order. >> this is william's story from this week in "the wall street journal," as nafta deadline nears, here's four scenarios that could up fold. take us through them from most likely to least likely. >> a little bit has changed sense we're about to hit this deadline. but the most likely thing is that talks c

given all this news between u.s.-china trade sanctions and the 10 year yield at 3% and now, this iran news, will he or will he not leave this deal? are returns cap at this point in the market? what is the expectation here? ben: i think what you are looking at is you have negative returns and equity markets and bonds. with positive returns in commodities by and large, and it looks at this idea of stalled inflation. is not benefiting equities are bonds, and i think this bounce we're dealing with depends upon three factors. the correlation between the dollar and oil price, which is off. and it is translated to u.s. interest rates. but markets are assessing is there's going to be a limit at some point you cannot have coexisting strong dollar and strong oil and just rates at these levels at some point these will change, and therefore the coming period after this iran deal negotiation, if it happens, we'll see shifts of changes that will change the returns of equities and bonds. ben, bloomberg view columnist, thank you for

where for those in the u.s. . trade war could harm investors so there shouldn't be one china and the u.s. should work together from the same foundations it's user account but do i think i can buy luxury goods such as cars or watches at lower prices. joins us now so is this a victory for trump some are saying china has won the trade war. well at least here on wall street there was certainly quite some relieve there in agreement could be on the table of the dow jones industrial average for the first time in two months trading a buffer twenty five thousand points but we are still short of any details if we have just heard past week or there was this number out in the media that the u.s. is looking to cut the deficit with china by two hundred billion dollars that certainly will not be achieved even close so it really depends on the details so we have wilbur ross going to china this week and we have to wait and see of the holds that we got here at the beginning of the week will also materialize so positive reaction but

u.s. equities because we have seen some key technicals when it comes to the s&p 500 and the dow jones. the s&p 500 has dropped below the 200 moving day average. and the dow jones has stayed the same. have hadsked that we such a bumper season in the u.s. had such a bumper season in the u.s. 500 did recoup. we are not getting a lot of direction. we wonder if the jobs report will give the equity market some direction. i have asked a lot of people by the equity reaction has been lackluster. some point to a late cycle. some point to the earnings. taken aboutit has two hundred days on average for the s&p 500 to recoup its losses after a loss. if we follow that template, the 20 12 correction come in the shortest one, the s&p 500 will not set new highs until early july. for now, let us get the bloomberg first word news. here is haidi lun. u.s. treasury secretary steven mnuchin has sent the delegate -- has said the delegation has had a good amortization with their chinese counterparts. for is the s

betty: on the u.s.-china trade front, i'm sure you with all of us are watching the tit-for-tatth, the you are seeing between the u.s. and china. do you think this is a new paradigm, and new normal perhaps , that we would just have to be at peace with, which is we will be in it for the long haul with continued dialogue on u.s.-china trade, which escalates on some days and the escalates on other days? -- de-escalates on other days? >> the world is not static. the world is very dynamic, with changes of leadership, different features, economic changes. there is a state of flux at what is happening at any point in time, but i do firmly believe that the best way every can turn country can make a contribution to peace, stability, and prosperity come is to ensure we maintain open lines of dialogue. that is what australia does, engage through a multitude of international forms, g20, apec, and others. if that means there is a list till the come to factor that in. that is not new. that has always been the case. yo

the u.s., we get this other shot of growth coming from tax cuts, and we have this reset going on. the market was on a one-way run higher over the last two years. record low volatility, but now the central bank theme is very much in play again, and to me, the markets come down to earnings and interest rates. in the u.s., interest rates are booming. at 24% wrapped up growth, which is amazing nine years into an expansion, but the interest rate part of that equation is coming up. pressurehis increasing on yield spreads, and that is pushing the dollar up, creating some pain in emerging markets. reset.ave this liquidity financial conditions are tightening again. everyone is wondering how far the fed has to go to truly normalize or tighten policy, and of course nobody knows the answer. with an earnings boom a known entity, the other side of the equation -- the interest rate and liquidity side is really where the battle is being fought. that keeping a damper on the earnings boom? people ask me why are

it's to give to move the u.s. embassy whatever they do post and there remain are a few who defend this man for president it's our greatest right to live in this day and the next behavior of the embassy to jerusalem the only want things that shows you that americans are on this side of the saudis they don't want. rights for many palestinians to us has long lost its role as an on the spoken and peace initiative and why the palestinian stream of statehood fades israel is hoping that more countries who follow the u.s. lead and move to embassies to jerusalem. officials and friends say a friend of the man responsible for saturday night's deadly stamping rampage in paris has been arrested in the city of stross berg the attacker was shot dead at the scene by police after he killed one person and wounded several others the man was said to be in his early twenty's and born in chechnya and had reportedly been listed in a police database of suspected extremists investigators have already taken his parents for questioning. and

borrow a movie for me we believe that the chinese and u.s. governments have reached a good agreement i think with an outcome acceptable to both sides of course both governments should on such agreement. economists believe that the chinese government will now instruct companies to focus more on u.s. products but the agreement could be bad news figure paean fans especially german automotive and mechanical engineering companies who rely on the chinese market. and while asian markets greeted the news with understandable relief the opinions vary on the streets of beijing. we should try to be the first in as many fields as possible so china can account for the u.s. is also about where for those illegal. trade war could harm investors so there shouldn't be one china and the u.s. should work together from the same foundations user account but do i think i can buy luxury goods such as cars or watches at lower prices. joins us now so is this a victory for trump some are saying china has won the trade war. well at least here on wall street there was cer

we had a u.s. visit delegation to china last week, did not seem conclusive we have china's top economic official traveling to china this week should the u.s. be watching these meetings thinking why is there no conclusion or is trade an issue that takes some time to resolve? >> that's a good point and they're both right it will take time for this to resolve. it's highly political, especially between the u.s. and china. the u.s. is asking china to cut 2$200 billion of the trade surplus. it's more than half of the overall surplus they have with the u.s. this is very much into the domestic electorate and the midterm elections coming for that reason, the 200 billion is the beginning of a negotiating tactic, though a harsh one. but i don't expect that's the central case scenario from the u.s. administration. >> let's talk about europe president macron has been in power a year angela merkel limped into their latest term as chancellor. do you think their relative strengths and weaknesses within the domesti

what you see in the russian sanctions were the traditional u.s. sanctions were u.s. people are prohibited from doing business. that was one prong of the sanctions. we also recognized that it was important to put pressure on the russian economy as a whole. a broad financial pressure campaign of the type that we carried out against iran. certainly not as intense because -- it was much higher than it was with iran. you saw a set of sanctions that we refer to as sectorial sanctions, will we prohibited equity investments and trading of some russian entities. and we started with financial services and moving outward. so the idea was to take a very precise bite out of the russian economy while minimizing the risks for allies and minimizing the risks to ourselves as well. since then the scope of our program has grown significantly. now our program also is meant to attack cyber intrusions into the u.s. and russian active measures targeting the u.s. as a result it has not grown in intensity. so the situation we have today is really a persistent and growing gap between the u.s.

we believe that the chinese and u.s. governments reached a good agreement and outcome acceptable for both sides of course both governments should honor such agreement with you. economists think the chinese government will now instruct companies to focus more on u.s. products but the agreement could be bad news for european firms especially german mechanical engineering and automotive companies who rely a great deal on the chinese market. but while it's a chinese u.s. trade truce relations with the e.u. are not as core deal german cars popularity in the u.s. is a thorn in trump side he maintains it erodes america's car industry so he's asked the commerce department to consider whether auto and auto part imports threaten u.s. national security and should face import duties of twenty five percent right now the rate is two point five percent. carmakers likeness sadie's b.m.w. and fox are going which manufacturer in the u.s. would be less badly hit than companies like our d. in porsche. last year almost half a million german
