the project was 25 billion euros in of the making. 5 billion euros over budget. a human tragedy and of course another substantial issue for airbus to deal with. lend -- london, from the euphoric highs on friday. continuing its rise higher. stocks in europe up 1.4% last year, the best week. china's rate cut has had very little impression so far. it seems to come down to the discourse in germany. especially and number will administration. support for the merkel position ticket greece at any cost. -- especially the envelope merkel administration -- angela merkel administration. job cuts last week but earnings came out of this morning.

what we saw was underlined at $8 million. tyinb b -- tying back in is what the market is looking at. the big news with ahold are they in preliminary merger talks? one of the newspapers say that spoken to several sources and no price discussions and it will come down to shareholders which is mainly the family. and will they reach an agreement or work in unison? i want to take you back to the map. i saw this story which i found interesting. the dax, we are waiting for it to un-frost. almost $600 million going to the dax. this is an equity index at a five-year high in terms of valuation. if valuation drop precipitously last month and the valuation,

the dax is nearly 6% below that stoxx 600 and money flowing at the fastest rate in nearly a year at the dax. ubs quite likes it. less open doesn't let's open italy. i leave you with this. telecom is down. -- let's open italy. decidedly in the red. back to you. jonathan: of that is the market open is this monday morning. a big day on friday. the biggest day for european equities this year. even what the chinese cut-rate down 16 points. the dax joel -- dropped by 33. the big story of the last 24 hours has been the china rate cut for the composite gaining as the people's bank of china cuts interest rates for the third time in six months. the country economy struggling to meet growth targets.

we are joined by kevin hamlin in beijing. great to have you with us. why do policymakers act on a random weekend? and they seem to do all the time can we expect more? kevin: i think it is increasingly clear that the economy was struggling and the growth target of about 7% was probably jeopardize and that showed up in recent export numbers, inflation has been we. -- weak. real interest rate is high. last week, the stock market pulled back a bit. perhaps it gave a better window for policymakers to act without being seen as adding the flames of further price increases. jonathan: as far as you are concerned, i look at a rate cut in ac -- and eyes ca reaction.

has it really moved the dial? -- and you see the reaction. -- has it really most the dial? kevin hamlin: no indeed. many economists expect the deeper cuts. some say they have profound challenges. overhang of debt and out of the indications are further rate cuts will be needed and further cuts and the bank reserve. the requirement will be needed to provide support to prevent growth from slipping lower. jonathan: as far as the people's bank of china is concerned stimulus is one thing. what about the chinese government? do they need to match? kevin hamlin: yeah, i think most economists leave that additional

measures will be needed -- believe that additional measures will be needed and break reserve ratio requirements are good probably more fiscal support is needed and more targeted support from other measures will all be needed to shore up growth and prevent it from slipping below 7%. jonathan: kevin hamlin a big thanks. the shanghai composite pushing higher overnight, up 3% as i speak. shanking is up. -- saint king is up -- hang seng uis up. carrying into monday markets. the european equities let's switch up. the ftse 100 even with a rate cut from china, there we go. lower down by 10 points. cac 40 down by almost 1%. airbus is the big loser.

jonathan: good morning and welcome back. this is "on the move." china one thing a greece

another. finance ministers meeting for further talks on the potential to get a breakthrough with the deal and leaders are playing -- downplaying chances of success. not just for greece versus credit is but a breakup with an creditors themselves. we have reporters across of the story. we have one in brussels. and markets has it -- marcus has it from athens. tom, the guys in the meetings setting expectations low, what are you expecting? reporter: pressures are mounting on ie number of different fronts. and the positions if they could be more divided they are now in the mood is turning sour. alexis tsipras holding talks with his cabinet members. officials calling doubt they will take a tougher line. you have the creditors and the eurogroup led up by mr. bluefly

bloom and said they need to get a deal. you have shui blinn saying the greece is running out and warning both of a possible accidental default. this send a precarious stage. -- it is setting an precarious stage. they wrapped up early. they soweto do what we wanted. the sticking are pension and all of the things that have moved forward. the eurogroup saying we need more details. greece saying we need agreement we have made some progress and we wanted that and the statement tonight. that's what the greeks are saying. that is key. the ecb's role is central. if there is a positive statement, the ecb gives a bit more in a bit more ease and liquidity to those great banks that are propping up for the past few months. if the tone doesn't change, the

ecb may likely restrict further access to the liquidity. they may also increase the discounts on greek collateral increasing pressure on the greek banking system. the tone is crucial. well several .2 billion euros the greek are looking to get for data we have seven point 2 billion euros the greeks are looking to get. -- we have 7.2 billion euros the greeks are looking to get. it will be a tough call. jonathan: tom mackenzie a busy man. the look from athens, marcus standing by. we talk about home and tom mackenzie talking about the town. what is the tone like in athens right now? marcus: the emphasis is getting a statement from the eurogroup a meeting.

one thing that is interesting is when talking about this for mark -- months and deadlines and what is the next eurogroup and getting a deal. this time around, nobody is talking about getting a deal from this eurogroup. that's how far expectations are being paired back. they just want a statement indicating, the prospect of an agreement this month. now as they have seen a lot of progress made in talks over the last week, the greeks say. on the brussels side as well. the creditors side as well. there is for much talk of progress in terms of the tone of the talks. the process is itself since the reshuffle of negotiating team. the greek say actually is not just the process, you have had talk about red line. when it comes to the details of those red outlines actually there has been some stepping

away from a them. for example owns eight sales is seems the greeks have made concessions there. the red line always receiving. this why the greeks are saying we do need a statement of progress. because otherwise we will not be with to hold our banks together. jonathan: marcus, and a word will they have the money tomorrow? marcus benasson: they have the money, yes. that is the feeling will understand anyway. the finest are very tight, but yes, they should have the money. we have been talking for a long time about an exit. for months, we had to this discussion with interior minister. then he caught a bit of a fuss when he said we should pay wages and pensions ahead of the imf.

and a faction within the governing party that advocates is that. we do not know if they will gather that way tomorrow. does prospects of the deal. the stronger it because. jonathan: marcus benasson great work. and a big thanks to tom mackenzie. we are joined by a chief investment officer. welcome to the show, johnny. now, you and i know it is not a greek move. some way does remind finance ministers when they go to the table the market is not immune to outside pressure? guest: these are trading markets. even if you look at the spread between bonds and bgp's which is the peripherals, these are speculative even in fixed income and so while the move has been

in the bond market, a magnitude higher than we have seen in a long time prior. i do not think it the sort of thing that will affect of the current negotiations happening today and tomorrow and next week as the week after as they go along. i do not think they will be focusing on a few days of volatility when trying to work out house structurally viable and cast in stone this membership is going to be. johnny bank we talk about the similarities -- jonathan: we talk about the similarities between 2014 and it now. with your clients, do they worry about greece? johnny mehta: we had this conversation a few months ago and nothing has changed, nobody seems to mind. there are bigger issues. a lot of people are worried more about how they view major asset allocations going forward. review and the view of four and

investors has been property and equities has been the 2 places where money is best placed. the underlying driver for that to be the case seems to be in place. there are signals and discussions taking place maybe there will be a time when it is not so straightforward. probably more material decisions being made that the outcome of what happens to greece. jonathan: in brussels, they will sit around the table, creditors first of greece and greece versus everybody. on the creditors' side, is the split just as big is on the greece side? johnny mehta: i do not think it will pan out to that way. there will be a clear resolution one way or another. it can not a drag on forever and ever. if you listen to rhetoric from

both sides, it seems like it can carry on for years. it cannot do that. all of the creditors will sit down and draw a line is a this is what we can live with and what we can not. you get to this. jonathan: where would it be? johnny mehta: i think tomorrow is not an issue. they will find a way to model through tomorrow. a 20% or 30% chance of a grexit. jonathan: how does this cascade through the financial system? i asked a guest last week. with the likelihood was a casualty before we get an end deal? in the shape of one of the greek banks? johnny mehta: that is an interesting question. the probability is quite high. any other groupings are in any fixed state to continue. i think if you take schauble word, one or two of the greek banks really falling by the wayside.
