we had out of the week with some $35 crude. momentummeron claims in eu reform talks. we take a closer look at what exactly happened in brussels. ♪ story in back to the japan. the bank of japan kept its main monetary stemless packet unchanged today governor kuroda did -- did suppress the market. jodie snyder joins us from tokyo. run us through those changes. the target for the asset purchase has not changed. bertram governor kuroda himself in a news conference. he kept making that point saying these were technical changes.

they don't change the overall size of the program. by.inue to stand quantitative easing. we will continue to do it as long as it makes sense. also that they continue to stand by 2% inflation target. they will do their utmost to reach that target. he was making it clear that the program, they are tweaking the program. he knows of the changes are confusing. jonathan: will get to the potential for a move in 2016. but i want to talk to you about is the inflation target. he did mention crude. on brent. what is the risk of that inflation if it gets pushed back once more? give me more color. jodi: he was very firm about standing by the target.

the drop in prices recently has made that more complicated. that will be a big issue. that is one of the things economists are talking about. about whether they are going to be able to make that target. how much a part of that picture? jonathan: in 2016, we talked about it all morning, we have a central bank that owns about one third of the jgb market, half of the japanese etf market. is it just to be technical changes. does the bank of japan have any room to alter the size? jodi: one would have to think that making operational changes is necessitated by something. at the same time, there is a real split among economists about whether they are going to continue to ease. whether they are going to increase the size of the program next year. half of the analysts we surveyed

say they do not see any more easing in the foreseeable future did another have says they see it by april. another person we talked to expect to seey easing by january here it jonathan: jodie snyder, always great to have you with us. thank you for joining us. let's bring in tim heyward. , for some on crude people it does not make sense. a central bank is focusing on crude so much. they react to a lower crude price with more stimulus. with more stimulus than a bigger asset program. i want to ask the most flippant question, if it matters that much, why don't they buy crude futures? indeed. don't they this must be great for them.

you can imagine all the people whenan down the reserves oil prices were four times the price, they were rejoicing and replenishing. the short-term supply is huge a number of boards off galveston. they have a lot of short-term availability. jonathan: is not a recordation to any bank should buy crude futures. it underlines the issue. tim: why should you buy bonds with a negative yield. why not buy that storage? why should qe be limited to fixed income? why not? jonathan: the risk associated with that though is pretty big. countries are going to need

energy to keep themselves warm. i don't see philosophically a reason why central bank should not i things that society needs -- should not buy things that society needs. jonathan: are we at that point, qe exhaust? more stimulus, oh no, no more stimulus. is that the focus for 2016? tim: qe works in its early stages. you talk with the facelift in japan. , asset managers want to be up to buy something which have genuine value and does not rely on stage intervention. you're seeing a little fatigued here. who are the new buyers? jonathan: good question. tim haywood. he's got to stay with us.

got a bit of fuel after last night's meeting. we can have a debate on whether or not it is orchestra, opera, or something entirely more theatrical. we have david cameron vowing to live and fight another day. he didn't get the agreement he wanted. he didn't even fight through the night like he promised to. his's how donald put it in way of engine toward progress. >> i didn't want to sound too traumatic before the meeting, but i do believe that tonight was a make or break moment. jonathan, in some ways, i'm struggling to reconcile the atmosphere. it is all very positive. the actual fundamental lack of concrete progress on those areas david cameron laid out -- they spent most of the time limiting

his proposal to the sort of benefits, no progress there. perhaps if you really want to be optimistic, it was angela merkel's failure to sort of say there will be no treaty changes. she didn't say that. you could maybe finis this diplomatically, have some solution, and after a vote in the u.k., potentially have treaty changes. everyone is aware of the difficulty. hans, i think everyone watching this have already formed an opinion despite whatever happens in brussels. when do we find out whether there are any concessions? on the timing, it looks like february. in terms of the timing, we have sort of disjointed views.

francois hollande came out saying that david cameron said it is going to take place in the middle of 2016. david cameron denied that coming out. we do have some clarity that david cameron is using poll numbers, talking about how the pressure he's under domestically, using that to leverage and make his best case. jonathan: hans, stay with us. i want to bring in rauououl. otherituation to them people is farce, orchestra. you go to brussels, kick up a fuss, an orchestrated argument, come back to london, told the u.k. that you tried. is there anything in that argument? >> i can see why some people think that, but i'm skeptical. the eu has tried to do so many things that often is a complete shambles. they are not very orchestrated. there might be some truth in

that. but getting 28 leaders to agree on some kind of united line is always difficult. but maybe there is some truth to it. jonathan: hans nichols, make or break, we've heard that so many times. why is this any different? what is on the agenda today? jonathan, our first rule of brussels deadlines, there are no brussels deadlines. we learned that with greece. that is just as true to the debate about the u.k. trying to change these rules. jonathan: great to have you with us. oul, you listen to this argument, here's a question. difference what he comes home with? there are a lot of people on both sides of the debate that have hardened their stance. they know what they want. the in-between, can they swing it?

>> i think they can. we did some polling and it showed that if david cameron doesn't get certain safeguards countries,ozone doesn't get anything on migrant benefits, it can swing the vote possibly up to 10% towards leave. other polls have shown similar. a poll this week highlighted that while we have 20% on either side that had made up their mind, there's a huge swath in the middle who can be influenced. also, migration, the economic climate, a whole number of things. there are people who don't have categorical views yet. jonathan: for a lot of businesses, for the economy, at the very least, you want the u.k. safeguarded from any spillovers from the european monetary union. that is the very minimum you

would expect. let's pretend they don't even have a referendum. they should have been doing that anyway. >> good question. how much of this would have been happening anyway? i think very much on the safeguards, that has been a long-standing issue even before the referendum was announced. we saw the european banking authority. i think that's a fair question. up isy it's being dressed a big reform, change in position, and people going into referendum will take count of these issues. jonathan: the business world, if it is orchestrated, a farce, at the same time, it's uncertainty. what does this mean for the economy? >> the longer it drags on, there will be uncertainty, but i think we are seeing people not know what to do until they have time.

once we know the dates, markets can react. at the moment, we are not seeing any reaction. once we have this announcement, then markets and business will begin to react. that could be an intense period of uncertainty. but there's not much that can be done to avoid that now. the closer it is, the more uncertainty there will be. reforms might be important to give a lead. jonathan: always great to have you with us. thank you for joining us this morning. deal why a u.s. tax credit is keeping solar shining. 40 minutes into the session in london. let's get you an update. ftse 100 lower by about 0.1%. the docs off by 0.6%. the majors on the ftse rallying this morning. in the commodity market, wti down to $35 a barrel. ♪

fundamentals, the crude is typically used as a transport fuel, not for generating power. jonathan: some of the measures that have been introduced clearly stimulating demand for these stocks. how will they make a difference? james: we've seen a big shift this week in stock prices. we call it the solar coaster because stock prices are more volatile in this industry. it is very much reliant on subsidy support from governments for future growth. whenever we see new policy measures that surprise us, we see a big shift in stock prices. we saw that in the u.s. with the surprise inclusion of the investment tax credit for solar. it looks like it might go through. this is obviously going to secure demand for these companies over the next 4-5 years. jonathan: the free-market purists will be thinking, when

you get a heavily subsidized market, you never get an efficient market. talk to me about this business model that is so heavily subsidized. what does that mean for the industry? james: the costs have come down significantly. solar module prices have come down about 20% are year over the past five years. got to consider is that the fossil fuel industry, nuclear power, they've had 50 years of subsidies to get their cost down. arerenewables industry trying to play on a level playing field with fossil fuels. jonathan: james evans, thank you for joining this program. another busy week for markets. we wrap it up with the charts that matter. all about a latin american currency. pain in the crude market. and the decisions from a certain central bank. guess which one i'm talking about. ♪

probably start to play itself out early in january of next year. year,an: january of next the ecb meets again. how does this develop over the next 12 months? everyone talks about divergent monetary policy. in 2016, does it look any different to that? is it continuing to the divergent light? hate the term, but i think the currency wars continue. i think in the near term, the ecb will be pretty happy with the dollar exchange rate. andid before, between 1.05 1.10 is the sweet spot for them right now. they won't want to see it appreciate back to 1.15 or higher. i don't see the ecb getting too excited, but if the exchange rate starts to push higher, i think they will push back on that. if you look at market pricing

for the deposit rate, we are pricing in another 7, 8 basis points already by the end of next year, early 2017. that is still in play, but it doesn't strike me as something immediate. jonathan: you talked currency war. going into 2016, china in theify to market forces, you would see a depreciation. that is to be expected. does that add into the mix of the currency war? what does it mean for every currency? richard: for me, china is the wildcard next year. i think the narrative is that we get decent growth out of china, maybe the worst is behind us. the whole e.m. wobble that we had is over. i think the fed referenced it. they said, we feel that is being contained or we see those pressures of dating. abating.res
