Speaker 1: Central Banks and focuses data that the Reserve started it's

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: two day policy meeting. No rate hike expected at the

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: end of that meeting, however, maybe some signals that they

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: could be in the future. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: starts it's to day policy meeting on Thursday. By right,

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: it is expected to announce some more stimulus. The question

38
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: now is how much. Meanwhile, the yen surging the most

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: is Britain voted to leave the European Unions as traders

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,519

Speaker 1: before UH. They meet later this week at the Bank

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: of Japan. Joining US now to put it all together

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: for US is Doug worth Quick. He's managing director, head

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: of f X Foreign Exchange at Chapter Lane and Co. Doug,

45
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: welcome back, Thank you very much. So first of all,

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: you know what's interesting? Um? In an interview, UH did Dan?

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I believe it was Bloomberview contributing Muhammaduarrian was talking about

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: how the maybe the markets too complacent about the FED

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: raising rates once maybe even twice this year, and he

50
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: also mentioned how he thought that right now that you're

51
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: not going to see the volatility around central banks so

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: much in stocks and bonds. The currency market is where

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: we're going to be seeing all the big movers. I

54
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: think it's correct there. I think that you're you're seeing

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: central banks involved pretty much across the board, and that's

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: really pushing down in volatility right now. But the currency

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: markets still have a little bit of freedom, is still

58
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: not as much as we'd expect. Doli En certainly is

59
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: trading up and down based upon the expectations for guidance,

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: and the Japanese press has certainly been fueling this fire,

61
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: with the NICK saying that fiscal spending would double to

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: six trillion yen at the same time overnight. Yet Taro Aso,

63
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: the Finance Minister, coming out and saying regarding fiscal stimulus,

64
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: we've yet to decide on the size of the economic stimulus.

65
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: So the market here's one thing, gets excited, buys doll

66
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: an here's something else, and then sells off again. At

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: the same time, as you said, we've bet a b

68
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: o J two day metings starting on Thursday ending on Friday,

69
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: there's a question of whether to expand montrely stimulus. Further,

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: I think that that actually maybe unlikely. I think what

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: maybe more likely is on Friday we'll find out they

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: start talking about forward guidance for the first time, and

73
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: that means maybe talking about maintaining the size of their

74
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: balance sheet going forward, which would give people some comfort,

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: and staying long dollar yen at that time being. But

76
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: then again, I think that any sort of position right

77
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: now long dollar yen is sort of like pushing on

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: a string. Given I believe there are other actors right

79
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: now that are selling dollars buying end that would include

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: central banks like like China, Dog Borthwick. What's long term

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: in the mind of a currency trader, but that the

82
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: bands long term normally is you get in the one

83
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: spot and you get a long term once you once

84
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: it goes your way. So if I'm right with Dolly,

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: and like the last time I think we had a discussion,

86
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: I said, we go through a hundred. Obviously we dipped

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: down past that hundred level after the Brexit. Certainly that

88
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: long term and I've been taking profits around that time.

89
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: I think nowadays, if I have to think long term here,

90
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking maybe we could go up to one

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: ten on some sort of surprise, and at the same time,

92
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: I think it much more likely to go down to

93
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: I'd say that's within the next month or so. Okay.

94
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: The reason I asked that is because I'm wondering whether

95
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: moves in currency markets are leading or lagging indicators for

96
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: investors that may not be in currency markets but are

97
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: in bonds and stocks. Well, I think you can think

98
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: of currency markets as being sort of the tip of

99
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: the spear, and the currency markets when a piece of

100
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: news comes out or we see something hitting the tapes,

101
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: people would trade the currency first because it could be

102
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: that the equity market is closed or the bond market

103
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: is closed, but the currency markets are always open, as

104
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, and so I think that certainly there is

105
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: a little a bit of a leap there in that respect.

106
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: But also people when they buy the currencyre they sell

107
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: the currency. You find that macro investors get on board

108
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: on that before they start thinking about what to do

109
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: with the currency once they bought it or so that's

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: a very important question then for the Bank of England

111
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, to get into the weeds here

112
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: a bit, but it's it's big news today. Bank of

113
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: England policymaker Martin wheel who had been somewhat you know,

114
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: dragging his feet on immediate and big interest rate cuts

115
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: in in the UK, now say he favors immediate stimulus

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: for the UK economy. Recent indicators on manufacturing looking much

117
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: worse than he was looking. So you've got the pound

118
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: hit by that, and then weak economic data in the

119
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: US kind of moving the pound in the other direction.

120
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: If it's the pounds a tip of the spear for

121
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: people looking at those UK markets, what's what's the takeaway now.

122
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: I think that the Sterling as soon as that happened.

123
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: I think the most market participants believe that there would

124
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: be a rate cut coming forward. I think there's a

125
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise that they didn't cut last month,

126
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: but certainly August fourth that looks like they'll cut from

127
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: zero point five percent to around I think that's certainly

128
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: an expectation. I think that's already priced into Sterling. I

129
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: think if anything, what Sterling has done over the past

130
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: week is or the past couple of weeks since Brexit

131
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: is it's it's it's managed to find a foundation or

132
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: a floor, and people have realized that this isn't going

133
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: to be a full blown Brexit, but it's looking more

134
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: like Brexit light. And I think that with with materials

135
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Amain there, I think that what you're gonna find out

136
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: is you're gonna find out that she actually starts pushing

137
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: things down in the line. They won't trigger Article fifty

138
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: until the end of the year at least. I think

139
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: before that you're going to find some sort of stabilization

140
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: in Sterling. And maybe I pushed back up to that

141
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: one for two level because people understand that it's not

142
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: going to be quite as catastrophic as everyone was expecting.

143
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: Dog Bothwick, just quickly, dollar Euro currently one oh nine,

144
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: give you about twenty seconds. Well, I think the year

145
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 1: at all with this one or nine level is still

146
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: very much below it's fair value. I believe that there

147
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: are buyers of the year dollars that are moving their

148
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: reserves into the euro and out of the dollar. I

149
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: think that we're have an expectation to see run one

150
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: fifteen certainly by the end of the year. And even

151
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: though you see the basis moving out in the euro.

152
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: The last time we were at these levels in the

153
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: three year basis wall the euros at one twenty. Thanks

154
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: very much, Douglas Borthwick, Managing director ahead of FX at Chaplin,

155
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: Dame and Company. Right now Euro at one oh nine

156
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,160
