1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Surveillance. The banks are in much better 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: position now than they were before the crisis, much more 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: capital and they're much more resilient. One of the more 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: important transmission mechanisms of monetary policy when rates get to 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: very low levels is actually through the exchange rate. But 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: after the People's Bank of China, the Central Bank of 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: China is going to do in terms of his momfit 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: policy will have a big impact on market Sploomberg Surveillance. 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: You're linked to the world of economics, finance and investment 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Radio. Good morning, and Michael McKee along with 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: Tom Keane. It is seven am on Wall Street, one 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: pm in Frankfurt, where in forty five minutes the European 13 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: Central Bank will announce its latest monetary policy decision. What 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: will Mario do? We will have the decision and you'll 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: hear from Senor Drag at eight thirty Wall Street time, 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: and all morning we'll be looking at the possibilities and 17 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: reaction here on surveillance. Ahead of the decision. European stocks 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: are mixed. The stock is up a tenth of eight percent, 19 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: that's less than a full point. The decks is up 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: twenty three points, two tents of eight percent, and the 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: cariporty which was negative very much of the day, even 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: though we had a stronger that expected French industrial production report. 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: Now reflecting that up a tenth of a percent five 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: points on the day, the foot seas off by sixteen 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: that's about a three tenths drop. The euro at the 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: moment is lower one o nine seventy four, but we 27 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: should point out, of course, it is higher than it 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: was on December three, when the Bank of when the 29 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: European Center Bank last met and disappointed the markets. In general, 30 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: we can say European bond curves are slightly flatter today. 31 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: The German two year at negative basis points. Here in 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: the US futures decidedly higher. SMP evening features up by 33 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: seven points, three tenths of a percent, down features by 34 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: two tenths. The Nasdaq EVENI features are up eleven. That 35 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: is a re tense gain for that index. The dollar 36 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: is a little bit weaker against the YenS. Some haven 37 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: flows there one thirteen sixty two the pound one forty 38 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: two oh nine. Bonds in the US are higher, yields 39 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: lower one point eight six for the ten year, five 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: year at one point three six, the two year head 41 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: point eight eight, And of course we should mention oil 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: prices because Mario Draggy has cited those as an important 43 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: factor in what the ECB does because of their influence 44 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: on inflation. Bred crude forty six is down three quarters 45 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: of a percentage point, West Texas at thirty eight nineteen 46 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: off by three tips. Well, the ECB will never say this, 47 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: but one goal of cutting rates is to weaken the euro. 48 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: How does that affect the rest of the world? Constantinos 49 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: Venetis is with Lombard Street Global Macro Research. You've been 50 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: looking at a rally in emerging markets because the currencies 51 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: that we have been far going have basically been stable, 52 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: although the U S trade weighted dollar has fallen three 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: percent since the ECB last met correct here, I think 54 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: we have some more of this rally. We have seen 55 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: US data at the margin improved. Chinese policy makers also 56 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: want to stimulate with other margins, so I guess you 57 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: know we have may have more of this rally. Having 58 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: said that calling a bit bottom is a bit premature stage, 59 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: I think, well, how would you describe it? Give me 60 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: an adjective or a description to to sort of set 61 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: the stage for where we are in emerging markets as 62 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: they watch this week the ECB and Baku in Japan 63 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: next week the US FED. I think that the margin 64 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: things are getting less bad. That's the key point here 65 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: is the kind of a green shoot mentality of people 66 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: are seeing this and sort of with the US and 67 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: Chinese data getting better at the trying to sort of 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: buy into this and cover their sorts somewhat. But I 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: think you know, if you look at this more structurally, 70 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: China still fragiants of p M eyes are stable but 71 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: still pointed to contraction, and Mommy is sort of tightening 72 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: overall in the MS, and I think you have this 73 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: prolonged sort of slow weakness or growth and earnings have 74 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: been weak for some time, and this at some point 75 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: contaminates batters weet sort of stock is contaminated, and I 76 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: think this will sort of begin to show in the 77 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: next few quarters. So calling the bottom here maybe be 78 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: premature for these reasons, but still we're here in the 79 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: same tone folks from Constantinos Venez that we heard from 80 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Olivia blan Chart earlier this morning about things are modestly improving. 81 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: Bloombers surveillance this ECB morning brought you by Investco looking 82 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: for investment views experienced experts just to click away.

Constantino's 85 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: when I when I look at the the interdependencies of 86 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: Europe and all who Mario dragging speaking to today in 87 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: the press conference, I'm always fascinated by the audiences, the 88 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: audience other finance ministers and central bankers. Is it a 89 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: one way dialogue with the Bundesbank. Is he speaking to 90 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Eastern Europe? Who's he talking to? I think it all 91 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: of these together, But I think Mr Jodi, at some 92 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: point we like to see the fiscal side become a 93 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: bit more stimulative and a bit more proactive. Bring that 94 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: in Europe always takes time, and that's a key problem. 95 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: At the same time, you know, we've seen the Japanese 96 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: experience with magative rates haven't really brought all the things 97 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: people want them to bring in the beginning. So I guess, 98 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, we are in a strange situation. He would 99 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: do whatever he takes, but I think at some point 100 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: this would have to morp into a fiscal force as well. 101 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: How does that happen, Mike, I don't see. I don't 102 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: understand the mechanism. It's like inflation East is except its 103 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: austerity Easter is almost well. That doesn't seem to be 104 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: much enthusiasm as constantinus for any kind of ciscal activity 105 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: in the Arizona anywhere else in the world right now. 106 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: Very correct, but I think inflation nevertheless will at some 107 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: points started to migrate towards core inflation in Europe, which 108 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: is about one percent, and that's the hope that basically 109 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: at the moment of course they need to push for 110 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: that and sort of be seen as actually adding to 111 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: the to these forces. But I think, you know, base 112 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: effects as well as some growth in Europe should see 113 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: headline CPI tend to the core this year. Your focus 114 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: is on e M research as well. How is trade 115 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: doing in particularly with Europe where it's such an important 116 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: part of their economic mix. Trade has been sluggish. It 117 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: has been showing signs of life, but nothing game changing. 118 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, unless China, uh you know, 119 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: grows more than it does now or at least people 120 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: are less uncertain about it. Trade um sort of trade 121 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: trust uh, you will see em trade remains subdued and 122 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: prices as well as volumes are being subdued, so that 123 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: doesn't help at all. Divergence is the story everybody's talking 124 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: about right now. With the FED set to rais rates 125 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: at least sometime this year and all the focus being 126 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: on the other central banks lowering rates, how does that 127 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: affect the rest of the world or have we priced 128 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: it well? It's a good question, I think in the 129 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: MS at least you have to be looking at different 130 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: areas and different conclusions. So say, in Latin countries like Brazil, 131 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: inflation has been high. Uh, physical policy hasn't really been discipline, 132 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: so pan shuttle banks are essentially prevented from easing policy 133 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,119 Speaker 1: even though you have growth in recession in most of Asia. 134 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: On the other hand, uh, in inflation is low, maybe 135 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: you have even disinflation or deflaced in some places, and 136 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: rates have been coming down. Having said that, in real terms, 137 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: if you compare these to say to the ten levels, 138 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: these are much higher than they were back then. So 139 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: the big picture here is that real rates are higher, 140 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: spreads are higher, and this means tider money conditions and 141 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: unless this turns uh, this is a there is a 142 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: not to be calling the bottom here in the ambrisk assets. 143 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: Dr Veniez, thank you so much, Constantinos Veneez with Charles 144 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: Duma Lombard Street at Research. Uh this morning, Um, we 145 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: have a very busy day calendar this morning clearly the 146 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: top moment we Michael McKee parsing out, Mike, how many 147 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: minutes into the press conference do the headlines get important? 148 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't start right away. Doesn't know what Senor Jogie 149 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: wants to do. Uh, he will generally he'll start off 150 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: by describing what they did in terms of rates, and 151 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: we'll get that data forty five minutes earlier. So if 152 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: he just repeats that, it will matter. You don't want 153 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: to miss too much of it, because he could immediately 154 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: say in addition to rates, we're doing this exactly the 155 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: in addition to and I got much more of that 156 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: from Steve Whiting this morning with City Group. The idea 157 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: of the optionality that Mr Droggy has as he attends 158 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: the moment the euro one oh nine seventy nine futures, 159 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: it was Mike mentioned up eight, Dow futures up forty nine, 160 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: so a nice lift of the market. Uh, they are 161 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: oil against churning the entire Bloomberg terminal. I'm gonna go 162 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: back four days, if not six days. Has been a 163 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: churn up down, up down, and even minute by many 164 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: eields are infractionally. I don't want to make too much 165 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: of it.
