the ecb, bank of japan, on the easing side. >> i was pretty much of the view would behat things taking cautiously. i am not surprised that this has -- this is going to continue looking ahead. anna: do you still see the policy divergence ahead? the ecb not doing quite so much loosening. the fed talking dovish sleep. do you still see the divergence to trade around? we needit is something to keep weary of. we have to be aware that these two regions have different dynamics going on. they have to manage their own economies. that is the case. anna: simon, yet been writing -- howspite the fed hike jpmorgan tracks the average rates as desperate average rates
2:21 am
of developed markets. rates of developed markets. and --bank of america they have seen them grown to 13 trillion at the end of 2017. if you look at the charts of the fed, it is only lifted up slightly. you look atrate -- the ecb rate, you have a very slow rate continuing into next year. anna: the market in the fed in different places in terms of expectation about how fast we see and how many inches rate hikes we see. -- and how many interest rate hikes we see. the market is not expecting the fed can create as much inflation as it thinks it can get is that the key dividing line -- can. is that the key dividing line?

2:38 am
alexander: i think it is important for investors to remember that china is such a long way -- it is impossible to keep registering double-digit growth. it has to slow down. if china versus 6%, it will do more for global output. it is becoming a bigger part of the global economy. it is also becoming a bigger part of investors portfolios. anna: it is interesting when we heard about housing markets. measures to help the population to find properties. i can hear other voices, guests saying come on stop propping up the real estate sector. .et it sacrifice it let's really operate this economy in a slightly more western lines. desperate youd please to see that they're gone to limit the damage the real
