5:05 am
tom: it is a value judgment. but anyway, we are back to where we are supposed to be. yes, this is great! i don't know if we feel like that. guy johnson, that's us. guy: so you have a bug, you are now sending francine back to us so we can catch it. tom: i am down for the count next monday. [laughter] guy: will see how virulent it is. let's bring in our guest host with a clean bill of health. the global market strategist at jpmorgan. good morning. draghi is out this morning -- the tone is very negative. is more qe in december a done deal? >> it seems more and more likely. implicitly, the ecb has recognized the inflation forecast since september, 2016 with the next dictation of 1.2%.
5:06 am
that is way below the target. they recognize that they have to do more to support a european recovery to revise inflation. i guess it is more and more likely and we have to recognize that the ecb has already done some technical adjustment. they can represent up to 30%. they have extended the qe programs and we have some corporate names. we seework in assets, some improvement already over december. one of the issues that the ecb faces in europe is the lack of cross-border loans, which could be improved for better regulation in europe. guy: why is not everyone on board with this? but itmbers are great, doesn't sound completely on
5:07 am
board -- the other northern european ecb guys are not on board with it. if you look at it from their point of view, it is a done deal. all options are open. vincent: all options are open, but it is data dependent. we must look how inflation involves. there are a few positive signs and europe -- signs in europe which may delay qe. guy: the probability is rising. tom: pushing against that, as you note, the idea of a europe that is doing better -- we see that across the corporate space, but the latest news froom rolls-royce is a little bit soggy. intapose for us the good europe -- better business, should i buy europe stocks -- with the reality of a new lull in the german yield. they seem like two separate worlds. i am on the indeed,
5:08 am
field all the time and traveling in europe every week. i see good improvement in europe on several fronts. europeeveryone bet on for its capacity to reflate itself, but what we have seen today is that the best contribution to growth has been domestic demand. you see that in retail sales, you see that in voter registration, and credit demand, in credit origination. you see some improvement -- you see also that the unemployment rate is decreasing, even in countries which were reluctant -- which are difficult. you have to consider an indicator of a country like france when you see the small business sentiment is improving. tom: and guy, this is the heart of the matter -- do we look at the monetary movement of
5:09 am
reflation, or do we look at the real economy side of it? that is pretty much a debate into 2016. is it about a real economy or about the financial and monetary shenanigans that are going on? guy: i think it's probably a little bit of both. the real economy continues to suffer. the lending story is getting better, but here's the thing. europe is not growing quick enough. it has not got that kind of velocity in need to get out of the recession. that is what needs to happen and that is why monetary policy isn't enough. vincent, where is the jumpstart to get out of the new mediocre? vincent: if you look at 2016, i am rather optimistic, and i believe 1.5% growth is achievable in europe. boasts thate -- it
5:10 am
it punishes local investors, obliging to take more risk in the economy. if we have the current qe in place already -- we have to continue, referring to the old-time product market reform. to improve growth potential in the coming years. takenk a lot of measure in the periphery to improve labor markets, you must know that in europe, in most countries contrary to the u.k. and u.s., we have a rather inflexible job market and it is difficult to lay off people, therefore companies are not keen to hire. we have also heard you mentioned fiscal stimulus, something which will come in the coming months. we discussed the very beginning of the european commission, the juncker plan, of 300 billion. it's not the game changer but you have reform qe and fiscal
5:11 am
stimulus. this all combined with the rather -- tom: vinencent from jpmorgan. we will truly look at the market and dive into the fixed income dynamics. julian emmanuelle of ubs, this is a great pairing to make you smarter and give you a brief on these markets. i looking at oil, 43.01. stay with us. ♪

against the austerity that they hope the syriza government would get rid of. reality is slightly different -- they are not happy and they want changes. i suspect we will be looking at pictures like this from quite some time. let's get the bloomberg business flash -- here is vonnie quinn. vonnie: from one strike to another -- the strike by flight toendants forcing lufthansa canc more flights today affecting more than 100,000 passengers. it is set to last through tomorrow. are protestingts their policy on pay, pension benefits, and retirement age. in london, shares of glencore dropped for the first time in a month. the commodity trader is down 6% today. it is the worst performer in the ftse 100, falling 67%. falls in commodity prices have cut profits and investors are concerned that they won't be able to pay down $30 billion in debt. narendra modi will become the

first indian prime minister to visit the u.k. in a most a decade. the u.k. is the largest investor in india. they invest more in the u.k. than the rest of the eu combined. guy, you have more on the visit. guy: i certainly do. bloomberg's executive editor for international government joins us now. he has got a pretty packed show. what are the highlights? if i am a businesswoman, what are the highlights? joel: first off, it is important to make the point that it doesn't quite have the same economic superpower clout that we saw with president xi's, visit, but it is not peanuts. one of the things we're looking at is something between him and
5:16 am
jets and more trainer civil nuclear cooperation. also we expect something on how london can help mumbai in the bond market. well it doesn't have the same clout as china we still expect a lot. guy: so it's a different kind of relationship. the u.k. has a mixed relationship with india. it is a company that has had difficulties -- so how good is the relationship on a score of one to 10? orthis a good relationship, trying to resuscitate it? john: it is really all about trade. that is one of the key priorities of the a ministration. particular --e in cameron and osborne in particular are keen to deepen it, so we will hear a lot more about how they want these trips going forward. tom: you and i know that mr.
5:17 am
modi had the mother of all honeymoons when he took over. there were elections in the recent weeks that were challenging. what is the backing that he has in india as he comes to the united kingdom? john: i think you're right -- the actions were a pretty big disappointment. he needs as much support from the regions as he possibly can to push through his economic reform agenda, which was currently stymied in the indian parliament. coming off that, we are seeing the first signs of discontent within his party. he won a massive landslide election, but as we are seeing myanmar,esia and me o it is hard to transform that into tangible form. tom: give us an update on what
5:18 am
ability to transport economic growth and capitalism from a district, in this case north of bombay, to all of india -- it is assassinating a generational experiment. what is the report card? john: i think it is pretty mixed right now. we certainly can say that modi has been a failure since he came in -- but there has that some modest reform. people have been looking at him to implement a uniform sales tax across all of india. i think the number of different sales taxes that businesses have to cope with in india is up into the hundreds. and this was the main flagship reform he wanted to get through parliament in the last session i was stymied in the upper house controlled by the opposition. it is pretty mixed. tom: thank you so much.
5:19 am

this is bloomberg "surveillance." you are looking at a wide shot of the city of london. slightly better day than it has been. tom: come on, guy, i can see blue sky! that is the first blue sky we have seen, so no francine lacqua can go home! guy: now that you have given her your bug, you are sending her back. tom: it looks like a turner painting. guy: there may be some smoke in the background. there was a huge fire this morning just around the corner from our office. we had tons of fire engines. you can't quite see it against the gray. right. let's get to the morning must reads. this is mine of the morning. while china's large captive market of airlines offers a commercial safety net, it is also dampening incentive danger innovate.
5:24 am
the wrong point -- way to take off. the point i would like to make is yeah, they haven't got it wrong, they haven't got it the way they want to. it will get certified elsewhere. airbus's first aircraft that it ever produced in 1972, that didn't get sold very well, and it just got sold to domestic carriers. this is how you start the long journey. this is how you get up the value chain. this is how you start to make a difference in terms of your economy. still with us from jpmorgan -- china's economy is a no-brainer. they have got to start producing more value, get into the services sector, and this is the way you do it. vincent: definitely.
5:25 am
you have no chinese companies in the fortune ranking. they have to climb the value chain, and we clearly see this happening. there is clearly a new china which is unfolding at the moment, and from an investment point of view it is quite interesting. this type of example really strengthens the case for investors in china. -- china is one of the few places where -- tom: where's john norman on this? i know there are eight medieval states of jpmorgan -- there is a devaluation of the chinese, blue circles a blue circle, then they had a modest appreciation. we turned around. is the yuan, is it the new tool to solve china's problem? vincent: i don't think so. or at least maybe not in the way that people expect. we do not expect massive valuation in the coming months,
5:26 am
for the simple reason that what china tried to achieve is to get a reserve ands they may still get to they objective. the imf will decide whether or not it will be included. so far, the first signs are quite positive. even the u.s. seems to be open for this. what you can expect after that, in the next month in 2016, central banks and pensions -- tom: we will come back. k when ibm was real. good morning. ♪

5:34 am
be. should yelle just get on with itn? vincent: i believe so. we also need clarity, even for an asset class which might be hurt in emerging markets. you have heard emerging markets that they werea asking for clarity about the rate hike. it should take place -- the sooner the better. from a u.s. perspective, when you look at the data with unemployment rate way below the 50 year average, you start to see some wage pressure. time for u.s. perspective to rebuild this ammunition stock, so your enemies know to rebuild your economy. guy: do you think the fed has done more damage than good? do you think he is right?
5:35 am
it is data dependent and we live in a world of high-frequency data. i want toes in a -- have a relationship with my customers that will last 20 years. vincent: looking back in september, we have to acknowledgment there were a lot of reasons not to hike rates. the instability around financial markets, the concerns around china, were all good reasons to wait. the fed is note, really under pressure from an inflation perspective. core inflation is at 1.8%. it is not that they are in a hurry to do something. but no, the market has so ilized somewhat, believe it is a better environment to do it. it will come as a surprise for a lot of investors. tom: i think seven said speakers
5:36 am
today -- fed speakers today. what will you listen for? what will you listen for from bill dudley of the new york fed? vincent: well clearly, some further indication that december looks more and more likely. but the data has a better consensus, because you still see a lot of volatility in this fed's fomc member forecast. i look for a consensus in the review on the health of the u.s. economy, and their attention from the right perspective. more importantly, we'll focus on the effects -- i believe that is part of the issue, through the fed balance sheet. part of the monetization process will take place through the balance sheet as well.
5:37 am
that is also something i will look into further, which might have a bigger impact. tom: i agree. vincent with jpmorgan. fiscer, vice chairman and a lot of speakers coming up. i will be with bill dudley, chair yellen speaking, bullard will not the sent. he still has not explained the st. louis cardinals. stay with us in london. we get your morning started. ♪

5:52 am
differences i suspect are that we think that europe can grow at and we- they can grow, think that the ecb will go in the opposite direction of the fed for a long time. that is a weak euro. contrasts compare and the view from barclays and jpmorgan. vincent is still with us. the call there is be nervous about non-euro investors, because the currency is going to depreciate. how hard a cell are european assets going to be? you listed a whole range of factors that will drive the european economy. but if i am an excel investor, am i going to be able to get that? vincent: there is lower pressure on the euro, and it will diverge with the u.s. which will decrease pressure on the euro.
5:53 am
i believe that the dollar rally is already halfway in terms of magnitude. have a less strong view -- there is definitely room for further weakness. - believe that european - at jpmorgan. we continue to overlay european accents. not all sectors or companies are doing well. we have seen some which are clearly weaker. but if you look at the underlying story of europe, domestic demand is improving, credit demand is improving. this is beneficiary for small cap in europe. it is typically an environment where you want to invest in banks. there are still many opportunities in europe.

6:45 am
russ: there are a couple things. one is more of an emphasis on quality and we have seen deterioration in the credit space. the other is what you don't do. momentum works well and environment of low and stable volatility. if volatility is higher on the back half of this bull market, that is an environment you want to think about bringing down some of that momentum exposure. guy: russ, how does this story work? you have had problem's we have had since 2007 in the developed markets. talking about the markets in the developing world. does one echo the other? does that pull more money back into the developed markets? how does that work? russ: you have been losing money and emerging markets for four or five years. this is the most hated asset class. part of what is occurring is

emerging markets are slowing down. we are not seeing the stellar growth rates you had five years ago. and you had a tremendous buildup of debt in china. just as the developed world went through deleveraging, you have to expect a similar experience in other countries. tom: we have fancy greek letter. gama, vega, beta, let's talk alpha with julian emanuel. alpha's sexy. you don't do that in a single digit world. julian: it is more important in a single digit world, because there are lots of potholes. the question is if we are not going to have a cyclical re-acceleration in 2016, and that obvious we -- the commodity market. tom: individual selection matters. what is your individual selection? julian: cash. we like company with cash. tom: you're in cahs. sh.
