guy: welcome to "on the move." london.0 in 8:30 in frankfurt. i am guy johnson alongside jonathan arrow. -- jonathan ferro. the employment components of manufacturing and service, we are looking for an edge down from the blowout figure. the dollar this week. that has had a massive impact a look at the rallies we have seen for some of these mining stocks. it is absolutely down to the dollar. you can see that from some of the oil stocks as well.

it has been a big week in terms of central-bank policy. we will talk much more about that. no incidents that the dollar had its worst week since 2009 and the miners had a two-day pop. credit squeeze earnings, and unforgiving market punished the stock. bnp paribas, you wonder what is going to happen at the open. we will talk about that much more. i am curious to know how the communication strategy is working right now. ,hy the analysts are so off particularly with the banking sector. why are they being caught by surprise? who is communicating well and who is not? central banks, we need to bring into the conversation as well. let's get you up to his. here is caroline hyde. caroline: the u.s. dollar heading for its worst week since 2009 as traders bet the federal

reserve will hold interest rates unchanged this year because of a weaker global economy the the demand for government debt has sent japan 10-year bond yields to a record low. oil has slumped towards its first weekly decline since january 15. president obama is planning to propose a $10 per barrel tax on oil. the money will be earmarked for green energy initiatives. the proposed levy could be phased in over five years but has drawn swift objections from the oil industry. it would also require approval from the republican-controlled congress. china's foreign exchange reserves, already at a three-year low, are poised to post a second consecutive record monthly drop as policymakers intervened to support the glut. the central bank will say on sunday that a currency board fell by $118 billion in january. back to you. guy: thanks very much indeed.

, looks like we could have a fairly quiet open in europe. let me show you what is happening on the bloomberg terminal. the fair value calculation that it spits out is fairly mixed at the moment. you can see how the miners have fallen this morning. germany down on the back of industrial data as well. jonathan: let's get a quick look at the other asset classes. brent crude trending lower by .8%. 34.19 a barrel on the bloomberg this morning. euro-sterling. 77 pence was the print yesterday. the weaker pound going into yesterday as the vote shifts from 8-1 to 9-0. dollar-yen. kuroda mustrroded -- be doing this everyone. to: a japanese 10-year about

go negative. i think he is not looking at the numbers this morning. jonathan: first friday of the month and you know what that means. u.s. payrolls david are first gauge on the strength of the market in 2016 with the near-term outlook growing increasingly uncertain. the january jobs report is bound to be closely watched. cleveland fed president said it would not surprise her if the pace of job creation slowed. >> i continue to expect that growth this year will be sufficient to generate further improvement in labor markets. i would not be surprised if the pace slowed somewhat, but the gains should be strong enough to put additional downward pressure on the on rate. -- the unemployment rate. let's bring in a guess, who helps manage over one billion pounds of assets. it has been quite a week. it has been a week dominated by the dollar and this pricing out of the fed making any

significant move this week. event orust a single something that will ripple through the rest of the year? >> it could be a combination of different factors. it could be the fact that the rate outlook is changing in the u k and the u.s. that investors are starting to pay attention to the issue of the brexit. in terms of the u.s. employment report, not pretty at all. it has led a lot of people to cut their forecast. where do you see payrolls coming in today? haig: the expectation is they will come in slightly weaker. that is what we are expecting. the key thing in the u.s. is what happens to wage growth, which leads to inflation.

we have a lot of variability on the jobs data on each print. they are sometimes recast retrospectively. the key thing is wage growth in the u.s. the federal reserve had a threshold for forward guidance. it was 6.5%. the bank of england had a threshold and it was 7%. they were not numbers plucked air.thinner -- from thin there was an expectation that wage growth would start to accelerate. we are down to 5% and it still has not happened the way they thought it would be what is happening? haig: we are seeing underemployment and a lot more people pursuing part-time work. we know because the banks have effectively been bailed out, but we have not seen that natural cleansing of the system, where aarly in the u k, number of underperforming companies would go into liquidation and people would be redeployed. ultimately, the unemployment

picture remains must more robust than what we would expect. again, we see that continuing into the future. guy: the rest of the world is trying to figure out what happened to the phillips curve. let's talk about what happened in asset markets and how this is going to work. we have been staggered by the moves that we have seen in some of the mining stocks over the past 24-48 hours. and it is dollar driven. it is not fundamentally-driven. but in terms of a tradable, investable asset class, can you do anything with this? haig: the short-term volatility has been driven by a lack of liquidity as well. it is what is happening with the dollar having an impact in emerging markets as well. a lot of the emerging markets are highly geared into the mining sector. guy: but those are intraday

moves. 20% on a massive money stock -- mining stock. where wee, in a world are trying to figure out how we invest our money, -- haig: it is kind of crazy as well. the majority of people we are investing for have a 20 or 30-year time frame. this is unsettling for people to see. in these markets, you have the trend-following ones that are trying to find the trend and it is reversing and exacerbating the intraday volatility at a time where we know this time of the year is low from a liquidity perspective. jonathan: similar move on the s&p 500 yesterday. some of the best movers were the shorter stocks. a question for you. going forward, from here, let's .uppose the fed backs off what we are going to see from

here is a much weaker dollar. do you want to be short the miners? haig: we are starting to buy into the miners and select the emerging markets. like brazil, for example. the rationale for investing in brazil today is the same as it was five or six years ago, when the prices were 70% more expensive and they were trying to stop money from flowing into the country. guy: you are basing that on a fundamental analysis of the value that exists in those assets? haig: we knew, in the short term, there was a lot of sensitivity in the yield curve in emerging markets. they tend to selloff because of the repatriation of flows. ultimately, if we can gain local currency yields at 15% plus, then the symmetry is stacked in our favor. guy: thanks very much indeed. we will carry on the

conversation in just a minute. up next is banking. it is the most unforgiving market. bnp paribas malls deeper cost cuts. we will look at the pain being felt around the banking sector next. ♪

jonathan: welcome back. this is bloomberg tv. i am jonathan ferro along with guy johnson. futures down marginally lower. let's get you up to speed on the news this morning. here is caroline hyde. caroline: bnp paribas posted a 52% decline in fourth-quarter earnings after writing down an italian unit in -- unit. net profit fell to 665 million dareus -- euros. they will raise another 3

billion euros of capital. the company said the move is part of a plan to cut net debt. that comes as the steelmaker is facing 30.4 billion euros of bond repayments. forecasts raised its after surging sales. it puts it on track to become the first japanese company to top ¥3 trillion in annual operating profit. that is your bloomberg business flash. guy: after reporting a plunge in earnings, bnp could unveil a revamp. earnings come after a volatile week for european banks. we have been speaking to effect it is all week on bloomberg. >> when you look at the dynamics of the fourth quarter, you can see a trade continuing. there is a high level of risk aversion. people are happy with their asset allocation in general.

but they are paralyzed by this high volatility. and also the geopolitical and macro economic news they see. disconnect. price, the gdp, consumption. it has put more money into the pockets of the consumer and it is good. >> let's look at intangible equity. that we will be trading at tangible book value per share. a very goods opportunity today to invest in bnp paribas. guy: the cfo of bnp paribas wrapping up the sound from some of the senior figures in european banking. let's bring in haig.

wrongalysts have got it s., andutsche, with c.f. bnp paribas. what are we seeing in european banking that is making it so much worse than even the most pessimistic views out there. haig: it is a perfect storm for the banking sector at the moment. to alter their capital provisions and ratios to meet the new provisions. the, the trading performance has fallen off. at the same time, you have the wealth management divisions of many of these companies who are not performing particularly well. a number of these clients are impacted by the falling oil price and they are having to redeem at a time when market trading is not as profitable for these banks as it has been in the past. jonathan: i want to talk you about that. the sovereign wealth fund, when

these redemptions start to accelerate, they are some of the biggest shareholders of these listed banks. is there a story or is that a step too far? haig: if you take saudi arabia as a case in point, the marginal cost of production is around $40 . it needs to be between $70 and $80 a barrel. they have got to fund the shortfall when the oil -- where the oil price is. i do not think it is anything sinister. inevitably, if you are the ceo of a large bank, now is the time to get the bad news out of the way. you can imagine there is a lot of kitchen sinking going on at the moment. guy: i am trying to draw lines and figure out what is going to happen next. you look at the saudi policy of putting boots on the ground in syria, very expensive operation. another drain on an already stressed what it.

is this something we should get used to? haig: i think it happens as long as the oil price remains subdued. particularly in these countries that need to stave off social unrest. predicated onh where the oil price remains. keeps goingis line round. r.o.k. --s are: -- are ok, the consumer feels good. the oil dividend should help pay for the lower end of the pay scale. they do not feel good. that is why they are getting behind candidates like bernie sanders in the u.s. election. does the consumer feel good? the clients we are looking after are starting to feel pretty unsettled. they obviously watching bloomberg and all the financial news and they are seeing more and more unrest and uncertainty.

geopolitical risks are rising all the time. spreadsheetly, on a , you can see that the oil car -- oil price reduction is tantamount to a tax reduction. it feeds through two more dollars in the consumer's pocket. ultimately, people are affected by what happens and i would say that is impacting confidence. jonathan: maybe a little detached in zürich from what is happening. we can debate that during the commercial break. you are going to stay with us. we are minutes away from the open. of next, we look at the potential corporate movers. oil and banks in focus again today as bg and bnp paribas report earnings. futures here in london are down marginally, about 1.5 points. by 37.ures off ♪

earnings season for the banks. i do not think we are back in 2007-2008. it seems sensible to think, although -- guy: people are going to start getting nervous. uncovered dividends can only be uncovered for so long. jonathan: it is not just the banks, but the mining players raising debt to cover dividends. you wonder how much longer they can do that. the other story for me, we talked about companies missing estimates. bnp paribas looks like a pop at the open. it does not subscribe to that story. but you want to maintain confidence. boost the dividend even though you have posted a big miss. guy: the other thing is arcelor mittal. big capital raising. that comes back to the china deflation angle, which we have not touched on for a few days now. it seemed like a long time ago
