1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Surveillance. Surree orientation of the Chinese economy 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: is one thing that's maybe helping demand growth globally. Most 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: of what constitutes emining advisors work the bread and butter 4 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: is actually selling companies. It's not buying companies. No matter 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: what the FED puts into action, it doesn't always accomplish 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: its goals, so its actions should be looked at with 7 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: something to grain of salt. Bloomberg Surveillance your link to 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: the world of economics, finance, and investment on Bloomberg Radio. 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: Good morning, It is seven am on Wall Street. It's 10 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: four am in California. Were just in the last hour. 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: The state's been called for Hillary Clinton. She beats Bernie 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: Sanders for the biggest prize of all. There four hundred 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: fifty three delegates out there. We'll see how they are apportioned, 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: but basically she is the Democratic nominee and the presidential 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: battle is now formally joined. Fear and cash meanwhile flowing 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: through markets. This morning, the ECB begins corporate bond buying. 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: German yields fall to new lows, and the term premium 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: for U S. Treasuries is now at its lowest since 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two. There's an auction today, twenty billion on offer. 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: Let's start with bond deal, as long as we're talking 21 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: about it. In Germany, Tom's been all of this. The 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: two year yield a new low of negative fifty four 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: basis points. The ten year is at six basis points 24 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: this morning, Commerce Bank says it is possible that before 25 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: too long we could get to zero on the German tenure. 26 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: The dollar, though, is falling. You would think if it 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: were a risk off morning, people might be piling into 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: the dollar or the pound that the d X Y 29 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: I mean, are they the end of the X Y 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: and an three down two tenths of eight percent? The 31 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: yen one oh seven oh eight is now UH, down 32 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: by three tenths. It was at one oh six seventy two. 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: But going the other way, the euro one seventy three 34 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: the one that is strengthening to a UH and it 35 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: sounds again when you look at equities like it's not 36 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: a risk off day. Either depends on where you are. 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: The stock six hundred is off by a point four tenths, 38 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: but here in the U, S S and P futures 39 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: up three two tenths. It's a one tenth game for 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: down futures, they're up twenty six and nastac on mini 41 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: futures are up four points a tenth of eight percent. 42 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: And we should mention Oil West Texas has crossed the 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: fifty dollar barrier now fifty one oh five, up one 44 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: point four percent, joining Brent, which is all the way 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: up at twenty this morning, one and a half percent rise. 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later today with Robert Campbell of 47 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: Energy Aspects, and of course Dennis Cartman will be joining us, 48 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: and you want to hear what he has to say 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: about commodities going forward. You said the term premium is 50 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: back to nineteen sixty two. That is correct, nixty two. 51 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: I vaguely remember this New York Yankees one, San Francisco 52 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Giants zero. It was one of the best world series ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Yes, 53 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: it was long, there was rain, um, I'm looking here 54 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: at the box score. Ralph Perry, be Jack Sanford. Yeah, 55 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: And that was basically sort of the the end of 56 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: the Yankee dynasty. There was in sight. They did not 57 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: win again for quite a while. Tony Kubeck was the hero. 58 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: He grounded into a double play. That's how tight it was. 59 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: We could spend talking about all that old stuff. But 60 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: they don't pass to do that. They passed to talk 61 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: to Ira Jersey, who came in here his portfolio manager 62 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: now Oppenheimer Funds. Uh. He came in here. We thought 63 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: we were just going to talk about it, you know, 64 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: a risk off day or risk on day, or what 65 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: the fetist doing or something, and now you got this 66 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: crazy mixed up. Some things are up, some things are down, 67 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem to be necessarily a rhyme of reason. 68 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: I can't. I can understand what's going on in the 69 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: bond market, um with. You know, money's got to go somewhere. 70 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: But then why isn't the dollar doing the same thing 71 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: as bonds to do it? Yeah, so the dollar has 72 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: been sometimes turned around this year where you know, you'd 73 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: expect in places like Japan, where the Bank of Japan 74 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: took yields negative, you'd expect the end to actually sell 75 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: off versus the dollar instead of rallies. And at some 76 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: at some points, I think a lot of these uh, 77 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: a lot of these things have to do with positioning. 78 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: It's just you know what position or investors in or positions, 79 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, what are the risk positions? UM, and if 80 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: the risk positions are really sewed one way, then you 81 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: wind up getting the opposite reaction all the time. I mean, 82 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be but you know, I take an 83 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: example for one of the things that's happening right now 84 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: in currency markets is going on with the pound, and 85 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: that's that a lot of people are buying disaster protection. 86 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: So they're buying options for if the um UH, if 87 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: the UK leaves the euro the European Union, that they 88 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: think that the UM that the pound is going to 89 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: go down a lot. So they're buying basically out of 90 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: the money puts, they're buying apt the money puts on 91 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: the on the pound sterling. So if you were to 92 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: get a no vote, the move would probably be more 93 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: muted than you might think. And that would surprise a 94 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: lot of people, I think. And it's because you know, 95 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: the markets are trying to anticipate a lot of these things. 96 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: And I think that's that's happening in UM you know, 97 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: in in the dollar quite a lot. Now is just 98 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: all this positioning and UM for different disaster scenarios. What's 99 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: the biggest disaster that people are are worried about? Now, 100 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: what's the blackest swan out there. Well, the most immediate 101 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: one continues to be Brexit, right, that's the I think 102 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: that's kind of the known unknown is um. You know, 103 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: if if there is, if there is bregit, what does 104 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: it mean? How bad is it? And it's not even 105 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: from my perspective, it's not even the UK leaving the 106 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: European Union that that in and of itself is is 107 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: that big of a deal. Operationally, It's not like they're 108 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: not a euros They're not in the Euro so they 109 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about all of the all the 110 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: payment systems needing to change over and and all of that. 111 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: But what it does do is it says, okay, well, 112 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: if the UK can leave, why can't there's leave. It 113 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: also potentially brings back the Scottish breakup because Scotland wants 114 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: to seems to want to stay in in the European Union. 115 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: So do they come back and wind up voting to 116 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: leave the United Kingdom. There's winds up being a lot 117 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: of repercussions that that politically that come from that and 118 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: that type of um, and that ends up being very 119 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: volatile for markets. When I'm gonna be rude and push 120 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: Thomas Ide for one last quick follow up on that 121 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: Brexit thing is that the volatility is understandable, but is 122 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: it a lasting volatility to do we have a couple 123 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: of days of oh, this is crazy and then everybody 124 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: realizes whatever happens. Yeah, I would suspect it to be, 125 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: you know, basically a couple of days. Although we probably 126 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: reprice some UK assets in particular lower, there's gonna be 127 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: a lot of questions of things like you know, UK 128 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: based banks, like what happens to London as a financial center. Um, 129 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: we don't think it's that as big of a deal, 130 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: and some people are making out and but nonetheless there's 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: there's still that risk. Alright, you can be rude because 132 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm reading Jesse Marshall on the Penn's blog about Phil Kestle. 133 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: As we go to Game seven with the Penguins tomorrow seven, 134 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Game four or five, I've been route enough. You may 135 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: have you may have the distinguished gentleman. The Penguins may 136 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: have the floor Bloomberg Surveillance flows. Good morning has brought 137 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: to you by Investco. Don't settle for average in your portfolio. 138 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: To Investco, the right approach means investing with high conviction. 139 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: Find out more it investco dot com slash high conviction. 140 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: I don't buy it for a minute, folks. I'm looking 141 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: at the heelds on the screen. I haven't seen it, 142 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: and I were Jersey. They're not in my textbook. You 143 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier on television, the idea of the mystery of 144 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: credit demand. You've got to convince me that central bank 145 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: action and what I see in the Bloomberg terminal is 146 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: going to somehow goose credit demand. I don't I think 147 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: that's the intent. I don't actually any Oden's gonna work. 148 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: Very modest evidence. Uh, there's certainly evidence that UM, that 149 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: you've stabilized UM, you've stabilized inflation and growth in places 150 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: like Europe. You know, one of the things about Europe 151 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: time that we keep on forgetting is that growth there 152 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: has actually and and you know, Mike will confirm this, 153 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: that growth there has actually done better than expectations. Still 154 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: not good, it's not not good by any church of 155 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: the imagination, but it's certainly done better than UM. It's 156 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: done better than expectations. And and big part of that 157 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: is this expectation that the ECB will continue with its 158 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: easy money policy for some time so you know, they 159 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,359 Speaker 1: keep on filling up the punch bowl here and and 160 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: I thought it was very interesting. I'm John Raith on 161 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: your programs the TV this morning from UBS said they 162 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: are raising their growth forecasts for Europe. Yesterday the World 163 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 1: Bank cut. There's with people in the markets raising them. 164 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: I'll go with that, But all of our listeners worldwide whatever, 165 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: there's sophistication and math and economics, get the idea that know, 166 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: the punch bowls not full, it's overflowing something. William M. 167 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: Jesse Martin never understood the cost of negative rates. Who 168 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: is it borne by at this moment. It's not borne 169 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: by depositors, but isn't in confidence borne by business It's well, yeah, 170 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 1: and it's born by the financial sector quite a lot. 171 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: But in a in a way, negative rates are really 172 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: attacks on um, on the business sectors, who on the 173 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: business sector, on the business sector. But then therefore therefore 174 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: the consumers, right because presumably they'll some of those costs 175 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: will be passed along. So it's things like fees on deposits. 176 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: So you say it's not depositors, but I challenge that 177 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: if you wind up making a large deposit in a 178 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: financial institution, that um that that has to pay negative 179 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: rates on on their reserves to central banks. That means 180 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: that they're going to charge fees. It might not be 181 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: in an actual interest rate. The interest rate on that 182 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: account might be zero, but they'll charge you, you know, 183 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: tend dollars. Can you push them open? If you've got 184 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: a lot of money in a bank, you can at 185 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: some point. But but quite frankly, they've tried that here 186 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: in the US too, particularly for large corporate deposits. So 187 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: there were have been some custodial banks that have attempted 188 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: to have tu get of interest rates and or um 189 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: andes on large deposits. If very quickly, my nominal yield 190 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: in Switzerland is negative for twenty years, I presume disinflation 191 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: or deflation, which gives me a positive real return for 192 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: twenty years. If I mean, that's what the market's telling you, 193 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: is that interest rates. It's not necessarily that that you 194 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: think inflation is gonna be negative. It's more that you're 195 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: going to have it's the thinking that is that the 196 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: central bank is going to keep it.

I usually with us before 247 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: we get to a conversation with Prime Minister Blair Brexit. 248 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: Does it get in the way? Is it a side 249 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: show for guys like you know, it's very it's very important. Um. 250 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: You know, when when you run a global debt portfolio, 251 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: as we do, one of them, one of the countries 252 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: obviously winds up being the UK, and I think the UM. 253 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: You know what happens if the UK leaves the euro 254 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: and how that might affect places like Catalonia and some 255 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: of these other independence movements, winds up mattering and UH 256 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: and changes some of the political dynamics within UM with 257 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: within Europe. We forget that Tony Blair was Prime Minister 258 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: for ten years. I had forgotten that to two thousand 259 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: and seven he has been acquired voice of course John 260 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: Major speaking earlier preceding Mr Blair as Prime Minister. Our 261 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: John Michael Twade for years of The Economist, editor in 262 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: chief of Bloomberg, had a recent conversation with Mr Blair. 263 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: Here's their conversation. If Britain leaves the day after, you 264 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: are going to get the beginnings of what will be 265 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: in a serious economic shop for the country. You thought 266 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: you literally cannot dispute that because you will put them 267 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: on the table. Your entire relationship with the European Union, 268 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: that's going over four decades of interlocking trade agreements, service agreements, 269 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: all of that has then got to be renegotiated or scrapped. 270 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: And given that half of trade is with the European Union, 271 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: how can you not think you're at least going to 272 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: suffer several years of economic uncertainty. Tony Blair in conversation 273 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: with John Michael SAT will have much more of that 274 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: interview through the day across Bloomberg Radio. Michael, no question 275 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: about it, Mr Blair, I think no surprise in the 276 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: same camp as Jamie Diamond, which is remain well, Ira Jersey. 277 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: You suggested that we would see volatility in the markets 278 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: for the reasons that the former Prime minister is talking about, 279 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: But you were fairly saying when about how long that 280 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: volatility would last, whereas he seems to think the disruptions 281 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: to the economy go on and on. Well, so I 282 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: think the markets replaced immediately because that's what markets do, 283 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: because they're going to anticipate all of the problems that 284 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: the former Prime minister mentioned. There's there let me stop 285 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: you right there, because this gets to the sort of 286 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: the timing of it. If they vote to leave, there's 287 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: a two year period to negotiate rethink in their relationship. 288 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: So what Blair is talking about could go on and 289 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: on and on. There could be lots of news headlines 290 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: about various aspects of this over two years. Are you 291 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: saying the markets immediately go to the most negative viewpoint 292 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: and and try to price all of that two years in. Well, 293 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: that's probably the initial reaction, but then you wind up 294 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: at some steady state that says, well, maybe some of 295 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: this isn't so bad. Maybe the UK could look like Switzerland, 296 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: it could join the European Free Trade Area, but there 297 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: will be negotiations that have to go around that. I mean, 298 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: we we have to remember. So the European Union is this, 299 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: you know large, um, you know, the one of the 300 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: largest free trade areas in in the world and one 301 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: of the um But but there's other free trade agreements 302 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: that the European Union has with other countries. So Iceland 303 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: and Switzerland, for example, are in the European Free Trade Area. 304 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: Now the UK would be the largest of those, not 305 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: your non European Union members that are in the European 306 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: Free Trade Area. But that's a possibility. Now, would Europe wanted, 307 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: would France and Germany be willing to negotiate with the UK? 308 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: Those are all the uncertainties that create that kind of volatility, 309 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: But but it's possible, and in an outcome like that, um, 310 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the worst thing in the world for 311 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: the UK economy. So they vote to leave. And a 312 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: shokamotive from Princeton who was with this yesterday, who said 313 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: the same thing Olivier Blanchard said, which is what everybody 314 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: calmed down. Um, these are not economically abrupt decisions. It's 315 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: about culture in politics. Mike McKie, if one was to 316 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: have a baby bell cheese from the Euroregion of France, 317 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: you're telling me Ira that the United Kingdom would have 318 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: to renegotiate their agreement with many baby bell cheeses of France. 319 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: If so, if they have four or five of them, 320 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: like you know in And the thing is, even though 321 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: there's two years to renegotiate trade agreements, we know how 322 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: long trade agreements take to UM take to be implemented. 323 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: How did I respond to Olivia Blanchard's saying, would everybody 324 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: calmed down? Tony Blair is not calming down. I I 325 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: think that it's it's I think that that there's more 326 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: here to worry about than there is to be optimistic about. 327 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: Right so in in a guest vote for brexit. So 328 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: if if the UK leaves, the uncertainty is very high. 329 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: Markets don't like uncertainty, markets like certainty. So because of that, UM, 330 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: I think that yes, it's not as it's not as 331 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: dire probably as some people are projecting to try and 332 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: get the politics done, but it's still creates a lot 333 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: of uncertainty that needs to be dealt with and and markets, um, 334 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: markets will will be volatible because of that. Unfortunately, I 335 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: have a minute left, but I gotta ask you about 336 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: the US presidential election. Dennis Lockhart of the atlant Offensives 337 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: business isn't talking about it much yet. I don't know. 338 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: People in my business are talking about it quite a lot. 339 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: You know. It ends up being that. I think one 340 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: of the questions is is that if we have, you know, 341 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: too presumptive candidates, Now, if you know, what are the 342 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: potential policies that each of them will um uh well 343 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: will go out and espouse, and how will their relationship 344 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: be with Congress? Um you know, in a in a 345 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: former life, I actually studied political science so um so, 346 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: so I still keep my ear to the ground a bit, 347 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: and I suspect that Congress will broadly remain Republicans. Certainly 348 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives will, So if Hillary Clinton gets in, 349 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: you're probably likely to have more of the same types 350 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: of policies. Um that you've had under under the Obama administration. UM, 351 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: we still don't know exactly what Trump wants to do specifically, 352 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: so we have no idea what his relationship would be 353 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: the Congress. I suspect it will be more contentious than 354 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: UM other potential Republican candidates, the more mainstream people. So well, 355 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: we'll come back. I read Jersey with us. Thank you, 356 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: Umber Funds.
