they're worried about at the bundesbank, they're worried about the low inflation. what that does to bank balance sheet. the smaller and medium size bank ability to turn a profit in different world when you go from the ecb to the on this bank -- to the bundesbank. jonathan: let's bring in the guest, valentin marinov. he met ecb officials yesterday. also joining us is this got momma rush -- is this got thushka maharaj. what did they tell you? valentin: it compares to what hans just mentioned. inflation is a worry. ofdivision -- in terms market focus and what the

discussion was, mainly how the market took the signal from the ecb. marketst in that the have responded. the euro did selloff quite a bit. it is a question now of going into the meeting next week. they will be able to exceed those already established market expectations. view,n ethics point of the question of whether we should be adding to the euro short from here or time to take profit. jonathan: based on the conversation you had yesterday, ecb staffers, what are they looking at specifically? what are they tried to gauge for market participants at the moment? valentin: the focus is on inflation and the outlook. to the extent that euro is playing a role there. euro has done its part already.

it is where the ecb wants to be. not in those exact words. if you look at the september macro projections, the ecb is rates to bechange down by 10% this year. if you want to describe this as their comfort zone, we are very close to that comfort zone. the concern is that other factors like the uncertainty around the fed, global economy, will continue to weigh on outlook. regards to the response in the fx market, we have done quite a bit. jonathan: euro-dollar, we are down there a seven-month low. the forecast kept coming down on the single currency. andou look at positioning you look at the balance of risk, what is the upside of being a shorter euro? usshka: the ecb-ish showing

-- that the imf released three years ago. is if youhere penalize those banks too much, that may lead to negative retail deposit rates. it could destabilize financial systems. the idea is to strike a balance between maintaining an adjustability and keeping the pressure on the euro. the irony is however, to the extent that euro was sold by the depositary's, fearing lower deposit rates, the irony is if those new measures world shielding such banks at the banks, thewholesale point being investors , theyoking the details are looking at a reason to sell the euro. euroghlights how bearish

it is expensive against emerging-market currencies. the question is is it time to buy? the answer is still no, given that investors still worry what is going to happen with the fed. how that is going to impact the market. it doesn't help. the base has been widening significantly. part of that is liquidity and banks selling that dollar liquidity is going to get -- dollar assets becoming more expensive. about funding becoming more expensive. people do worry. valuations are attractive. timing is key. and i think timing is just not right. havensn: the traditional when things hit the fan and geopolitical terms and everyone russia's towards them. -- everyone rushes towards them. the tensions between russia and turkey as they develop?
