1:02 am
hadfirst to report there been stimulus measures coming through from the chinese government, also as you mentioned, playing catch up to that big rally we had in the region yesterday when hong kong was closed. you can see galaxy is leading. casino stocks are looking strong today. there is weakness for the former export company. elsewhere we are seeing solid gain. that has helped to be benchmark today. -- helps the benchmark today. elsewhere, japan is coming off that good game yesterday. australia is the worst performer down by 1.1%. i want to show you some other stocks. sawe was that big pickup we in u.s. auto sales, the fastest sales growth in a decade. we are seeing japanese auto players looking good. toyota is a strong performer.
1:03 am
look at the casino stocks in hong kong, leading those gains, galaxy is up by over 11%. gaming and macau is actually down for 16 consecutive months. anna: let's take a moment to have a look at what is happening in commodities. there has been a big story. here is the oil chart, the wti oil chart. we had interesting volatility in yesterday's session. i want to point to this area here where we have not moved all of that far from 45 and 50. generally speaking, fairly range bound for the oil price. jim rogers was picking up on this, the famous analyst, talking about how oil is holding at $45 and managing to ignore bad news. we had bad news -- in terms of oil price -- surrounding the
1:04 am
iranian conservation to global energy markets in september. we continue to see stockpiles increasing in the u.s.. jim rogers sees this as a potential sign we could move higher. that takes us on to conversation we will have about commodities later. we will be joined by a an australian government minister. he is the minister for commodities, josh frydman berg will be joining us in about 40 minutes. we will discuss whether that economy sees itself as a energy superpower. later today we will get to u.s. jobs data for september, always eagerly awaited. this years -- this month's numbers will be scoured. critic an increase in
1:05 am
200-1000 nonfarm payrolls -- 200-1000 nonfarm payrolls. that seems to be consensus number -- the consensus number. things they'reo looking for, the effects of emerging market turmoil on the of thend the effects slack that has been taken up on wages. on the first bit, it is difficult to tell what is going on. you know that the pace of hiring in the u.s. has slowed and they asked six months, how you disentangle? -- do you disentangle? ,ou could look at manufacturing less and services, in regards to the slack taken up, the consensus is the wage growth could probably have an effect.
1:06 am
anna: this is the september number, the august number, not quite in the rearview mirror. the august number does get advice at this point. we will watch that. jamie: u.s. economists are telling us that there tends to be less wrong in september than other months. think watching august will be important. anna: what does this mean for london? jamie: i think it means different things. what matters more than what the fed actually does is how it doesn't -- does it. fed surprises anyone, that could lead to tightening conditions in europe. rather than the exchange rate effect being a good thing, you get --
1:07 am
anna: bottom markets are not pricing -- despite the fact that we hear this message from officials saying that december is on the cards for a rate hike, it is not about bond markets receiving. jamie: i think it will be heading to know surprises. anna: jamie murray, chief economist at bloomberg intelligence. let's go to our twitter question of the day. what is most important for you for today's job number? are you watching september or august? you can get in touch with me on twitter. here is a reminder of all of the jobs data out. we get spanish unemployment at 9:00, madrid time. in the united states, nonfarm payrolls, that and the unemployment rate with that at 1:30 in the afternoon.
1:08 am
plenty to watch for in terms of the job story on both sides of the atlantic. --us cranny sat down with a with the ceo, frederick of you. he gave his view on what the world central-bank might do next. manus started the discussion on the issue on the forefront of our minds, should we fear a china sold -- slowdown? >> i think there is an overreaction for something that will not be a surprise. having traveled to china quite often, we could have seen the first sign of a slowdown, at the same time, i think it is an overreaction when people think it will turn into a cow. we all know about the need to change towards a more consumer driven model, i think china can address that, it might take some
1:09 am
time. we might see a lower growth than expected, maybe 5-6% in the next three years. manus: we have had this week a glencore moment. that blowup in the equity market. it had global impacts in terms of commodities. quee we had a lehman-es moment in terms of commodities? >> i don't think so. i do not think you see the same thing in the commodity sector. again, i think it might be a longer-term. the question is how long will it last? what predicted to decrease, who can predict the increase we might see. in mind iso we have that europe and the u.s. will do well in 2016. i think there is not a system. manus: there is this view in europe, the banks like yours
1:10 am
have built big business on commodity business, are you concerned from a banking perspective that the commodity route will begin to have a kind of impact in terms of numbers for the banks in europe? >> i don't think so. as bankers we have the -- to think 10 years ahead. we have to build businesses that will have added value. the commodity sector will remain in the 10 year. expertise inan this sector. second, the measure recipe for success going forward in this volatile world where prices can happen, itrisis can is the concentration of risk. the management of the
1:11 am
concentration of risk. you need a balanced portfolio. you need to avoid and over concentration in areas. anna: that was the ceo frederick oudea, speaking to manus cranny. we will bring you plenty more from that conversation throughout the morning. leaders meetropean in paris today, they are supposed to talk about ukraine, in the week that russia launched airstrikes in syria, at least discussions may dominate the discussion. ♪

200-1000 -- 201,00 0. hong kong stocks rebounded this morning after the biggest quarterly loss in four years. the gains led by carmakers and investors came as china stepped up. stocks in casino operations also searched after reports the government may unveil measures to support the tourism industry in macau. nine people are reported killed in a mass shooting in oregon. police say the gunman was 26 and was killed in a shootout. president obama: somehow this is become routine -- has become routine. the reporting is routine. podiumonse here at this
1:16 am
ends up being routine. the conversation in the -- weath of it, it is have become numb to this. this afterbout columbine, blacksburg, tucson, , iton, aurora, charleston cannot be this easy for someone who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands of a gun. -- on a gun. in other news, the european central bank president says that growth is returning to europe. he accepted a global citizen award from the atlantic council in new york. he also made it clear that he believes fed integration in the eu is the way forward. >> the progress achieved over the past three years to stabilize and strengthen the area is real. growth is returning.
1:17 am
we will not rest until our monetary union is complete. many argue that our societies are not homogeneous enough to operate as a union. others would argue that further integration is the only necessary role to extract -- rule to extract all of the power of the economies of scale that our union brings. you would not be surprised to know that i am firmly in this second camp. anna: we've also heard from one of europe's most influential business leaders, the ceo , inerick --frederic oudea an exclusive interview, they discuss what is next. of thatnot a big fan policy. i think they are useful as a ,ooster, but in the long-term
1:18 am
they create distortions in asset prices. if you have to much money chasing too little assets. i think the fed will probably raise rates. we tend to think so, yes, in december. the ecb and the japanese central bank in our mind might pursue a policy, probably in my 16 which means that money will be available. particularly regarding the european asset class in 2016, we have a scenario of progressive economy in the eurozone. the low commodity prices not that bad. i think this category of assets might be considered not that expensive in this world of ample equity. -- liquidity. manus: you think they will extend liquidity? >> yes. anna: let's talk about global
1:19 am
rate environment. us.choices -- joins mario draghi spoke last night, not talking policy, we are talking about the increased need for integration. we are talking about achievements in growth, the eurozone has not treated that much to the global growth agenda for seven or eight years. how are things changing? the eurozone is currently in a sweet spot as far as the economy is concerned. , ontive external factors the internal side, some of the policy measures that have been taken, particularly in economies like spain and ireland some of these are coming together and generating eurozone gdp of up .5%. that is stronger than it has been in years. heardfrederic oudea we
1:20 am
referring to that and how it is a positive. it seems to be taking its time to deliver. >> if you look at the boost to french household consumption, it grew by .6%. that is not because french complaint are more competitive, it is because consumers have more money in their pockets. you saw commodity rices fell for the second half of last year. they have been falling over the summer as well. the last quarter of this year you should see a boost for eurozone consumers. anna: we are seeing it. what about the weakness in the euro, is that all it's cracked up to be? >> of the euro has depreciated a little. the safe haven flows from those emerging markets. we are still 10%-15% weaker than a year ago. it is positive in particular for countries that are less competitive, france and italy, are cheap amongst those.
1:21 am
countries like ireland and spain are doing pretty well. the euro being weak or is a positive for the eurozone as a whole. anna: let's talk about the u.s., the jobs report is coming out. you are expecting a rise of 200,000. >> yes. i think the interesting thing about august is, the august initial estimate for payroll growth in the u.s. has been revised in the last decade, i would be quite surprised if it was not revised. it is substantially weaker than the first half of the year. jobs growth is probably weaker than the first half of this year. anna: what about the wages? ? >> we think that might strengthen in september. 2.4% in august, people were getting excited about that. actually, historically that is weak. with probably in line growth in the u.s.. that might pick up.
1:22 am
particularly if you look at the hours rising in august. employees are working more overtime, eventually they will ask fored -- they will higher wages. this way into conversations for the fed in october and december? it is not seem as if the markets are prepared for a rate hike, despite the fact that we hear so many fed officials talking about that. >> i think it comes down to the crux about the fed wanting to normalize policy before it really has to. a lot of the measures of inflation in the u.s. is weak. the fed has made a point repeatedly, the policy is abnormally easy at the moment. it wants to start that cycle before it is necessary. we think that is why december remains the time it will start doing that. how wage growth behaves in the coming months will determine
1:23 am
whether or not it is two or three hikes next year. anna: if that is what the fed once to do, how will they get the market on it died -- its side. and think the fed reaction their statements to wage releases like the one today, particularly in the october meeting will be key in that respect. central bank governors put a lot of emphasis on the medication strategies. that will be -- emphasis on the strategies that will be because in october. we could get some strong guidance, depending on the data. anna: what about the china story? -- mario draghi talks a -- theut the flow of negative impact the chinese slowdown could have on the eurozone. things thatf the stay there last month wasn't it? are we now -- we know that
1:24 am
things are slowing in china. >> from our perspective what is happening in china over the last six months is more a sense of reality about the new normal for china. ,t is a slower pace of growth because you cannot sustain that level of real estate investment. what is good for the eurozone is that the u.s. and u.k. consumers are starting to really take off. that is good for eurozone exports. even though germany has expanded presence in china, quite a lot over the last few years, the eurozone as a whole still exports more to advanced economy trading partners. even though china slowing is a problem, the fact that there is going to demand any advanced economies should take up slack. anna: thank you for joining us. adviser at ernst & young.
1:25 am
european leaders met in paris today to discuss the situation ukraine with -- in russia launching airstrikes in syria this week, could tensions between putin and the west dominate the agenda? caroline is live. caroline: vladimir putin, the russian president will definitely try to take the focus syriarom ukraine and put on the top of the agenda for this meeting taking place today in paris. vladimir putin wants to make and get out of the political isolation he has been under since the ukraine crisis last year and try to be at the center of any kind of sentiment in syria that would possibly include sri lashawn and his rate -- his regime.
1:26 am
french along with the u.s. have been skeptical about the actual targets of russian pruden -- whether vladimir putin's intentions might be the islamic state or assad's groups. will meet with chancellor merkel before the four-way meeting. that will give a chance for the president and merkel to asked questions about his real intentions in syria. he might have more support from the french government than from germany at the u.n. general assembly on monday, the president said that it might actually be possible, but under a clear basis that would not include assad.

easy for somebody who wants to harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun. on what we get more can expect from today's jobs has thephil mattingly details has the details. just two weeks after fed policymakers decided to leave interest rates at near zero, the u.s. government will release their september jobs report data. the report may show payrolls climbing by about 200,000, according to economist surveyed by bloomberg. likelymployment rate is to hold at 5.1%, the lowest since april 2008, according to the survey. the august report contained mixed data. it included a gain of 173,000
1:33 am
jobs, which missed expectations, but also showed a drop in the unemployment rate to place it within the fed definition of who implement. fed policymakers declined to raise rates citing global and economic headwinds, even in the face of the approved labor market. janet yellen has maintained her stance that a rate increase is likely in 2015. there is a 43% chance that the fed will move by december, that is according to futures data compiled by bloomberg, a factor sure to play a role on when or going toecision is raise rates, friday's jobs report. anna: joining us now, our guest host for the next hour, the managing director. great to see you. what are you expecting? how crucial will this be in december? >> of course the jobs report is
1:34 am
all about the market reaction and the fed's assessment of the health of the economy as well as their ability to resist external headwinds with exchange rate turmoil we have seen over the last quarter. the labor market plays a key role in reaching the gap that the fed faces between on the one hand, moving away from extreme accommodation, clearly not needed for the string that the u.s. economy today. on the other hand, moving towards a rate hike which is something that the fed would enable -- was unable to find the confidence to do a few weeks ago. what we should look -- should look for, how does the bond market react? does that tell us about market rate? that is a missing part of the puzzle right now. li na: absolutely. signaled the september.
1:35 am
the bar of strengthening the health of the labor market has been raise higher on the basis of two things, first the fed needs to close the link between the labor of port in terms of growth inflation dynamics and the u.s. inflation outlook. the second thing is the fed has to rely on even greater expected strength in the u.s. labor market in terms of reflation area.- reflation exchange rate commodity export price and financial turmoil. today we have three parts of the report, the cyclical demand in theh, particularly context of last month revisions.
1:36 am
anna: last month was week. >> the market discounted the fact that this figure would be revised. today we get proof. the unemployment gap -- the janetoyment rate, what yellen did a few weeks ago was to qualify that this is not the much about unemployment rate, but how that translates into inflation pressures. anna: they are linked. thank you. amazon is banning media streaming devices from apple and google that are not compatible. it is the latest move as the world tech giants tempt -- attempt to dominate the world anyway they consume media. >> it has used this kind of script before. if you're not going to work with amazon fire tv, you're out. so says amazon. caroline: goodbye apple, goodbye

1:38 am
these are some of the best-selling streaming products on the market. they have used this tactic before. they have used this heavy-handed this. going back to the books play, back to hachette books, remember when they were arguing over prices? we suddenly saw that the new orders -- the preorders of hash hachette books were unable to be backed by amazon. they have used this tactic, many book writers of the time said this was anti-competitive. this move against apple and google may not be deemed antitrust -- they might not see it in violation as competitive instinct because there are options for apple and google elsewhere. nevertheless, this really does highlight the importance to amazon, and the prevalence of streaming. already you have amazon, the number three player in the u.s., according to park associates.

keep your composure. the perception of the market is totally distance from reality. focus on the communication, address market concerns. in 2011 we acted quickly to reduce the balance sheet, to communicate on false perception. i'm sure even then i said we would work on the the reduction -- i'mebt, as long as sure he has a good business -- he will be up to solve the crisis. let's continue the commodity conversation, and look at the coal industry. tim coulter joins us from the bloomberg business site and lena is still with us. have a story over the coaldity sector, about: --
1:46 am
half of the words, -- world coal is not profitable. tim: yes, glencore is the world's biggest exporter of coal. it is not look like it will get better anytime soon. the forecast is the next 6-12 months will be as bad or worse. it is remarkable to see, the way the industry seems to be disappearing before our eyes. his company peabody energy, the biggest coal producer was down 85%. anna: we have talked about the troubles for glencore, do you see any rest bite -- despite? >> absolutely. the risk is that a greater negative feedback loops. the combination of more volatile equity markets -- what is happening in china will be
1:47 am
pushed up to equity ratios. it looks riskier. the result in more volatility. none of this is helped by the fact that this stops the fed in the tracks last month. what is the fear? if conditions remain this income, we will see credit downgrades. glencore is one of the biggest. the potential for fallout here is probably not fully realized. when you look at commodity prices when we speak to investors, many feel that fundamentally they are not cheap enough. anna: that is interesting, we had a conversation around the desk about whether or not this is a lehman moment. we have heard people referencing that. you are suggesting we do not know yet. >> precisely.
1:48 am
tim: think about the counterparties involved if glencore were to fall. things like shell, bp, these are giants. the commodity market is nowhere as near as financial markets. could they be as significant? >> i am hoping it is not a lehman moment. view, big macro point of the commodity market industry is oversupply, their success capacity, there will be some re-rationalization. we do want it to happen and it orderly way -- in a orderly way. perhaps we will get a confirmation from the u.s. today about things developing differently.
1:49 am
thankfully we are talking about coal, we are not talking about securities. actually -- anna: thankfully. i was talking about this at the dean rogers has been talking about the lack of reaction we are seeing in oil prices. some of the bad news thrown at it in the last few weeks, he is saying that as a positive. perhaps even suggesting we could is -- maybe the application -- could this be a floor in oil prices? does that will be key for where we go with commodities? we have been seeing a number of copper miners going back on production. with commodities there is the fundamental part, the financial risk sentiment, and
1:50 am
then evaluation. the fact that it is more resilient suggests that from risk sentiment it is extreme. also from an evaluation perspective, given that we have had a bearish -- a barrage of bad news. we are seeing some expectation of global demand for conditions. we also want evidence that developed economies are holding up in the face of turmoil. we are seeing that china is managing to contain it slowdown. anna: let's carry on this commodity conversation. let's talk about the commodity market turmoil and how it is affecting us trillion. australianed by the minister for resources and energy. he joins us on the phone now from turkey. great to have you, thank you for joining us. you have become australia's resources minister in a past few weeks at a time of huge
1:51 am
volatility with commodity. what do you make of the turmoil? certainly there is a lot of volatility in the international market, that has been a function of changes on the supply and demand side. what has been interesting is that the u.s. has overtaken saudi arabia is the world's largest producer of oil and gas. that is also significant. iran will soon have sections lifted, that will be another factor coming into the energy market. i look at the fundamentals of energy, i still think it is positive. global energy demand is expected to increase by the iea by one third by 2040. that will require tens of trillions of dollars worth of infrastructure investment. australia is very innovative and experienced in the resource of space. we have a large natural endowment of resources -- we are

the focus has completely moved away from ukraine and back on syria. more support from the french president. france has offered airstrikes in syria this week. the president said that the coalition may be possible under a very clear basis. of course that means, according it is french president, impossible to make the victims and executioners walk together. anna: caroline joining us from paris. russia has begun its airstrike campaign in syria. we are joined by customer grantville -- joined by christopher granville. what you make of what rush is doing? what is their intention? christopher: everyone says it is

2:24 am
christopher: the saudi's have been saying russia should desist. obviously russia will not desist. it will not only hit the islamic state, but also some of the other fighting groups. some that are classified by the united states as jihadi terrorists. also saudi backed forces, also not recognized by the united states. as it russia likes to say, the moderate opposition is an elusive -- leaving aside all of these debating points, which a concern financial market dispense -- market participants,

on the one hand a sectarian .onflict on the other hand some kind of partitioning of syria between the different sectarian groups. then there prevails, will be more unrest. if their side prevails, it would be a libya style collapse, only by jockeying between these groups and dividing the country will there be a solution. that is being underreporting -- underreported in my view. even putin and obama were touching on this. it is the only way to go. anna: crisper, thank you for joining us. -- christopher, thank you for joining us. it is time for some final thoughts. let's focus in on something that
