5:05 am
how constructive the claims short is, one of the major charts. that brings us to an esteemed guest on this carney day. francine: we're looking at him, your chart was great. wagel have charge for growth, especially in the private sector in the u.k. above 3%. the boe and its inflation report will be released today. .e are joined by george magnus it is great to have you on the program. the premise of what we are -- of what we are discussing is that the u.k. must give an indication that the hike will come before the market expects it, but after the fed, right? >> i imagine that it will be. unless there is something pressing we do not know about or
5:06 am
is revealed today in the statistics report. the danger is that the bank of .ngland could push up the pound and the sense that this would act as a depressing influence on the manufacturing sector in the economy. timely. be an there is no reason why the bank of england has to rush. today, make their expression very clear of what they think of the economy and what inflation will be. and actually leave no doubt or little doubt about the fact that a rate rise is coming, but not necessarily immediately. francine: what worries you the most about the u.k. economy? quite strong, if we hike before the fed that
5:07 am
could hike and to support sterling even more. mr. magnus: in terms of the outlook for the economy and 2016 and 2017, i'm not that worried. we could do with more balance between the household sector and the corporate investments. it would be appropriate for the government to change regulations gettingnments and companies to spend some of their cash piles. the referendum campaign is a big unknown, and that hangs over the economy like a block cloud. -- black clad. -- black cloud. tom: none of this is in the textbooks. with that, do you have the confidence that carney and yellen can exit this known world with stability? i don't have
5:08 am
confidence, and i'm sure that they don't either. in the context of janet yellen that must be looking at the possibility of an exit and raising interest rates like this . they kind of want to do it, but they are nervous of what the consequences might be -- as well they should. they are changing a monetary regime that has been in place for several years for a financial crisis. nonetheless, the term reducing the level of accommodation will be more common rather than monetary tightening. we're not talking about a tightening cycle yet. it is far too early. there's so much accommodation in the global monetary system lessening that is entirely appropriate. that is what they would like to -- my belief is that is what they're going to try to give. janet yellen already has. francine: let's get to central banker thatcentral

is having a tough job. no region rates at a record low. the oil slump is pummeling growth. let's get to the governor. thank you for joining us on surveillance. give us a sense of the probability you'll have to cut rates in the next 12 months. it is my intent today not to comment on that question. we're not commenting regarding future interest rates. our most recent interest-rate was from september. along that part we said that it , a 50% likelihood, of another cut during the first half of next year. i would underline
5:10 am
that as we saw in september, we were unlikely to have any change in the target rates today. is news on there both sides regarding interest-rate decisions. it was not a difficult decision today, or actually yesterday, to keep the target rate unchanged. francine: you are saying that you are sticking to what you said in september, a 50% chance of a rate cut in the next 12-months, through september. give us a sense how much weakness will hold you back from doing that. you mentioned developments, that is one factor that will put weight -- it mattered yesterday, and it will be an important channel coming into december. as you indicate, the krone has

weakenend. has there is other news that has isolated points in other directions. present a newot forecast. we come back to the old picture in our december report. notcine: that means you are confirming or denying what you said in september about the 50% chance? mr. olsen: i'm not confirming like acally, in a sense new interest rate forecast. i'm pointing to the most recent one that we have. then, i am adding that since been news onve both sides, pluses and minuses.
5:12 am
overall, the picture, as regards the interest rate setting, is relatively balanced. how did the latest ecb and bank signals affect your thinking? as a small open economy, our interest rates is influenced abroad. thanks to cameron we have in the euro area and our neighboring country of sweden, the expected target rates, influenced by the signals, have been reduced. there are similar market expectations in the u.k., the u.s. -- are relatively unchanged
5:13 am
compared to the picture we saw in september. average, the picture is slightly up with an interest rate hike internationally. it is postponed further. francine: are you more inclined to do qe before hitting the zero bound on rates takata encouraged to what? francine: re: more inclined to do qe? the executive board has the power to decide on our target rate. to movee not considered or jump to zero. we are very much aware of what is happening abroad. we are well prepared. decisions, that

5:18 am
the fed has vacillated a little centralcold, low bankers, including mario draghi and the governor of the bank of england has expressed shock from the outside -- china and emerging markets. tom: that is the shock. central bankers looking for control. where are we on the affected mr. carney or janet yellen's actions with the real economy? what will they do to the real economy with any policy shift that they might make? mr. magnus: my hunch is that actually the initial move from not have awill genetic effect on the real economy. giganticot have a effect on the real economy. the start of an interest rate rising or interest rates cycle,
5:19 am
which go substantially further than anyone thinks at this point in time. would becase, that rapidly discounted into bond yields, credit spreads, and so on. that could be damaging. i do not think that will happen, particularly given the inflation environment for now looks to be so well contained. i do not think it is a restraint on the beginning of the rising interest rate cycle. we will see. i actually believed over the next couple of years we may be surprised by inflation -- not hyperinflation, but on the upside. at the time being it is contained. george magness with us for the hour. next we look at the equity markets. the vix 15. we need wisdom from brian belski.

5:25 am
from the point of view of the ecb that is disappointing, they only have one thing to do. the growth forecast for last year was 1.8%. there are problems. countries have had big exposure to emerging countries. yesterday or today we saw german forrs for september weak the third consecutive month. those doing a bottom selling will feel the pinch, that the low inflation is key. they are thinking about december. tom: do you think that this .ombo is not euros gliosis it is something else besides the cyclical challenges of your put the double digit unemployment,

the usual stuff we have known for decades -- why is this different? mr. magnus: i'm not sure it is. taking aalking about slightly more -- i am talking slightly more optimistic view on the cycle in europe over the next 12 to 15 months. the key problem is the paralysis of budgetary policy, the decline and weakness and low levels of capital investments. these are big problems that have not been solved. tom: maybe we will crowbar that's on china at of george as well. james grant will be with bloomberg television in the next hour. ♪

care act because of you are pregnant, you're eligible for medicaid before the informal care act. so there was decent access to affordable care, of structured care before. so that is one area we have not seen a difference. inhave seen a difference getting people medicines they need and controlling chronic conditions, because a big problem with health care costs in america is 5% of people cost 50% of the medical spend. diseaseshat is chronic that were not well controlled. with the affordable care act and more access to insurance, people are getting the medications they need. so chronic conditions are being much better controlled which saves money in the short run and the long run and keeps people healthier and keeps them from tipping into negative consequences of their condition. tom: thank you very much. in baltimore with evergreen health cooperative. i hope that was an a-political update with all the mail we get. right now we have photos.
