leads that. on the foreign exchange act, let's have a look at that. we saw the euro dropped to a six-month low yesterday. euro-dollar, one of 7.53. there are a couple of lovely lines out there. that is the view coming from a different houses. bank of america, merrill lynch, but the flow. they hedge funds keep on buying the dollar. they are retesting a dip into the negative. keep an eye on dollar brand. brand -- dollar rand at a record low. cehic.et to nejra plc,: i'm keeping it u.k. starting with vodafone. the world's second-biggest mobilephone company. europe's debts europe has been a

bit of a challenging market. it looks like that could be turning around. today, the company reported a second-quarter service revenue. that is the money he gets from customers. that rose 1.2%. better than expected. third consecutive quarter of revenue growth for vodafone. it was because of a boost from rebounding markets in europe over the past few years. we have seen changes in the management team. the ceo committing billions in new network spending. it looks like it is making a difference and it pushed the shares higher today. it is the will -- it is one of the best performers on the stoxx 600. moving onto national grid. one of the best performers announced today it started a process for the potential sale of a majority stake in a domestic gap distribution. business is the operator of the u.k. electricity and natural gas

what is he going to try and get from europe? the oddses are saying of a brexit are rising. give me your perspective. this is going to be a long race, is that? kit: at some point, we're going to see the terms. , in we get a date for this think that is the zynga most important event. when we have a date, a target, a campaign, and when that feeds through to opinion polls, that is when i am certainly nervous that the opinion polls at that point show in missouri once -- show a majority once to leave. debate.cotland real risk. six to eight weeks before the event. scotland is a decent

blooper into how this can go. financially, most people tend to be worse off if the u.k. leaves. says only when you actually people are seriously considering voting for the financially worse decision that suits their emotional decision. then we will get scared. lose halfobably percent of gdp's growth per annum for five to 10 years. when we start to think that could really happen, that is when we have a problem. manus: let's have a look at the dollar sterling and the euro sterling. we are touching some of these lower levels, retesting a bit of a move lower. we got a note saying the volume of dollar sterling trading is almost twice the average. the market is starting to build on the dovish comments from carney.

with a bitr wages, of a boost like it did in the u.s. last friday? is: i think the consensus for them to take up to 3.3. the u.k. has got more weight growth than the united states. it is headed for some time. yet the mpc is much more dovish than the fed. i don't understand that. i would say we have the dovish bias, what if the unemployment total increases and people start saying we are seeing the peak of the upcoming cycle. it is a bit behind us. we are on the downside. i think tomorrow's numbers are in that sense going to be a major factor in driving the mood. i would say the market is not very engaged. there are long since sterling. there are shorts and sterling. longs in sterling. there are shorts in sterling.

manus: there is the pound against the dollar. let's bring up the graphic we had before. there you go. this is like the dollar. the dollar is on a bit of a tear. i think that is a fair reflection. the fed referred to dollar strength 24 times in the last meeting. i know the whole world is convinced that the fed is going to go in december. give me your perspective. when you reflect back on this, these are the moments in time when the federal reserve actually comment on the dollar. are we over egging the putting? the pudding?g the market is gone as far as it can go. go, i amr as it can paraphrasing. he more or less said the market has priced in.

kit: the fed's hope is that they can raise and the ecb can cut and nothing will happen in the world. they are going to give us the message that we priced in enough times in the hopes that we don't overreact. dimension of the dollar in the last meeting -- the mention of the dollar in the last meeting, the fed saying the rates should not be at zero. those who say you do not need to raise interest rates. arguments don't meet in the middle much. what you get is you can talk a lot about other things. look us on the dollar is. look at how weak china is. that is the middle ground debate. if i am a dove on the fed and we get a weaker payroll number next month just before it and the dollar index is up. i might say something. the u.s. economy struggled with

a bit of snow last winter. you think we can come up with a dollar index above 100. we should wait. the governor saying you'll need 60 $200,000 jobs. that's 62 100,000 jobs. 60 to $100,000 jobs. everything is already packed -- we are not precise here. kit: if you think you're going to get euro-dollar significantly lower, you need a fed rate hike

and some new additional impetus to help us along our way, because we've got a lot of news that we are baked indicate. in the cake. manus: what does it take? never mind goldman sachs. what would it take to get to parity? to go i think you need for example 10 year yields in the u.s.. of two three quarters of a percent. the bond market needs to stop pricing in. something to say we are moving on. in is to go back to taking on -- thinking about could the funds be three. manus: that would be a van glorious recovery.

tell me about the rand. in themake a recovery rand. south africa would have to raise rates at some juncture. the betting is improving to 60% that they will have to do it. kit: metals prices are low. the weakness in china's inflation does not help. asianriorating move and and latin american currencies that comes through. ringgit, thed, the korean bond. manus: the beginning of a bigger move. kit: if this turns into a move, if we develop momentum, i think we are back to that. where poised in the e.m. i would be costly bearish thinking this could go wrong.
