4:04 am
just no longer going to focus on the piece that i did, depreciation by stealth which is turning our attention away from the dollar you want which they have thrown the kitchen sink at two defend. at the same time, the one against the basket. -- the yuan against the basket. the point. is that is the problem with the pboc, they say one thing and they do another. let's focus on the basket. a bit of deception to a lot of the currency to decline against the dollar. what the previous a balance to do, the currency is getting into the fdr early october. china has to defend a 6.5% economic growth at least over the next five years. that is their plan. to do that, they need a lot of money. they want us to them both -- they want to stimulate the market.

4:06 am
year, let's wait and see. hans: do you think the pboc is being honest? we heard there is a threat they are not being as transparent. you trust them? you feel like you know what they are saying? julian: not completely. i think you can -- you can accuse many central banks. they love to speak in cold to keep the investors on the move. i don't think the pboc is alone in doing that. manus: i want to put up this chart did -- this chart. risk revival. hans has touched on that. global equity markets, they hit a 2.5 year low. we have rallied since then. this is the dividing line since
4:07 am
the start of 2016. oil has rallied by 46%. these are quite shoring and reassuring moves. oil is moving higher, equity is moving higher. are you as bullish as the markets would intimate? have we turned a corner? thought this year was going to be a very choppy year. i changed my mind. i think this is a banks will a to keep the stimulus package going to try and keep the markets on a steady course. whether or not we are going to see markets hit that much higher, i got my doubts. manus: it is amazing how we have gone from absolute doom and gloom -- remember were talking about the implosion of liquidity. we have shifted the mindset. we are elephants. we remember nothing.
4:08 am
with that in mind, the ecb has made it clear they're going to move their balance sheet just after -- just under 50% of gdp in europe. thesting the impact of ecb's move. boj tomorrow, fed on wednesday. julian: the current spread will come in. the whole of europe, that will be very positive. that will particularly be positive, although they are not buying the bank debt. that is going to help both the corporate bond market and the equity market. in thes a slowdown fallback we have seen in the oil price. they are selling and in the short-term, i expect we are in for a bit of a rally. come next month, the month
4:09 am
after, there is going to be a slowdown in growth. it might be in china, across europe. people will worry again. that is how the year will pan hans:r the whole of 2016. let's talk u.s. equity value stocks. starbucks, poised to shine after eight years of underperformance. that is according to a story in barrens. i want to get your views on this. you are here with us, what is your take? you mentioned you thought is one to be choppy everywhere. you see some regions being more choppy than others? you see these value stocks making a comeback? julian: i think there is fishing going on in the value area. you see not total stability but you have seen oil prices rallying from the lows. i and or is trending -- iron ore is trending.
4:10 am
people want to look for value because some of these momentum lays are highly valued and consequently they are looking around for things to buy into the rally. i would not be at all surprised to see them continue to rally, whether or not that is going to be driven in terms of better outlook for growth. i think we can debate. manus: the debate is they come back invoke at offering value. one of the other stories that is on the -- on bloomberg today is about the u.s. ex line -- u.s. buybacks are the one thing that are keeping the s&p alive. 140 $6 billion is set. we're almost at levels that we have not seen since 2007. as you look at the world, you got europe with the ecb and play. you got the fed and that's the fed stepping back in doing a couple of hikes. it is buybacks that is going to
4:11 am
give support to the u.s. julian: i think buybacks will continue. if you are a large corporate, and you borrow in europe, you can effectively borrow for nothing. what do you do that money? ?o you buy back your stocks do you go out and buy a competitor to boost the revenue line? there is a lot of things you can do in short-term to enhance your share price. this is from the story. the bull market -- going back to 2007, we are at the level of $170 billion. that doesn't inspire me. that fills me with more fear than hope. julian: as we talked about, you can for every positive, you can find a negative in the market like this. people will wax and wane between fear and

manus: you just had the big japan report -- sway the japanese yield curve. caroline: we are expecting not this time around, eventually for the u.s. federal reserve to hike rates. when are we going to be putting money into the u.s. treasuries? the desperation out there at the moment. when german bonds go higher, so to do u.s. treasuries go higher. money pushes the yields down on german debt. that is going to have to flow into where you get a better richer -- better return. you are seeing phenomenal volatility in u.s. treasuries. it has risen to all-time highs at the moment. yet trade failures on a former regular basis than we have ever been used to. the demand for the 10 year has soared.

purchases of banking bonds. merkel has been punished in state elections over her open border refugee policy. they picked up one quarter of the vote. for more analysis on what this mr.s, i am joined by better. thank you for joining us. it sounds like a disastrous night for the cdu. the spd lost more votes to have a worse night? >> they both had a really bad night. it was an antiestablishment election with up to 25% going to the right-wing populist party. none of the parties can be happy about the result. is noterkel said she going to recalibrate or change for policies. do you agree with that? will the spd recalibrate at all? >> the result is alarming for
4:35 am
merkel. she will go down in history as the leader that allowed for a right-wing populist party to establish itself. that will cause a lot of nervousness within her own party. the result vindicates her stance on refugees in a sense. two thirds of germans have supported the merkel government policy on refugees. actually trydates to distance him cells -- themselves from merkel. that did not go down well with voters. it's not clear with this nervousness will mean. she will stay the course of the time being in europe. we are going to have a gathering on march 17 and 18th. had you think the german
4:36 am
populists will look at this negotiation with turkey as a moment where merkel could regain some ground in terms of dealing with the refugee crisis? populists look at this as selling out to turkey and not putting a stop to refugees coming to europe. they look negatively at the negotiations. the german public by and large supports the deal with turkey. they support this european solution. she will push for that and try to make it happen. a plan b will come into effect once that fails. the two candidates that ran against her refugee position in the cdu and that may be a sign that wasn't the right move, i've heard that a lot. it's a dominant theme in the press. what about the others?
4:37 am
the results could have been worse. >> i don't think the results would have been worse. you could not have avoided the rise of the right-wing populist. there were two camps. some supported the general stance of the government and mrs. merkel on this. ,he ones who were against this they voted for the original. that is not some muddled in between position that does not seem honest or sincere. hans: they would have done a little bit better, you would've seen some votes but they would have consolidated. >> they put because they gave an opening for the green party candidate and the spd candidate. they were the ones supporting the general government's position. we are not trying to sell out to the right-wing populists or take some sort of strange middle position. that weekend the candidates. will she be there to
4:38 am
leave the party in 18 months in the general election? >> i think you can say with some certainty they will enter parliament. it's not clear that they will get 15% or 20% of the vote. they have a lot of groundwork to do. there is a lot of interparty discussion between extreme right-wingers who are against muslims and those who want a more moderate right-wing populist position. it's not at all clear how well the party will gel in the lead up to the elections. it's fairly likely they will enter parliament. hans: we haven't heard from angela merkel yet. what do you expect her to say? > >> i don't think i will expect her to say anything different. she will try to stay the course. you know her stance on refugees. she's not taking any refugees
4:39 am
right now. she is sending the signal the refugees don't have a right to choose germany as their country of asylum within the eu. she will push ahead with the turkey deal. she will also try to reduce the numbers coming to germany. hans: she has an incredible challenge ahead of her. this one seems much more serious. europeaner-lasting or and german politics. thank you for your time. we appreciate you being here. we have a big show and a lot more to talk about. merkel is going to address those election results. we will see how specific she is. iran wants to boost oil out. we will look at what that means for the global energy market. that's coming up next. ♪

minute. to boost oilans production to 4 million barrels a day before it considers rejoining the freeze. the announcement from the oil minister countered the effects of the u.s. recount on the price. the push in the story here. i have a market story that we will get to. i think it's perfectly reasonable what iran is saying. we need to put a few dollars in the tank right now. let us produce our oil and get a few dollars in. when we are up and running, we will play. --after sanction ended sanctions ended, they wanted to get their place back in the market. the oil minister said please, just leave us alone to do this work. efforts between opec and

4:46 am
the market as it rejuvenates sales. one of the significant kinds behind that -- things behind that is the pipeline feeding is down several weeks. there was a big nigerian pipeline down as well. there are things driving the rally. the thing that's got people focused is just how shale production is falling in the united states. manus: the momentum is building. these are the net short positions. the short positions are dropping the most sense to thousand six. the market is really beginning to shift gears in its position as well. >> this grand freeze in production hasn't yielded much in actual policy. it has changed sentiment. and you combine a policy makers
4:47 am
trying to change the dynamics of the market with the fact that low oil prices are starting to hit hard on shale production, you do have the background to this change in sentiment. manus: every central banker in the world will be relieved. bomb insuicide car turkey killed at least 37 people and wounded many more. it's the third time it's been hit in five months. we are joined from istanbul. how our markets reacting to this attack? >> it's a mixed financial market here in turkey. 4/10 ofreciating around 1% against the dollar. it's at 2.87. sincehe lowest level february 26. outnbul is trading in and of posted territory. if it protects its gains, it will be up for an 11th
