saw a problem, how big a shift is this? >> i always thought it would be difficult for the fed. but even by my standards that was a very dovish fomc. especially when the cpi is your price and we have signs that the pickup in core surprise is full of. surprisingly dovish and it is an invitation for investors to buy long-range inflation. guy: also it's happening with the shape of the curve. there's quite a big steepening yesterday since december. compare and contrast with happening with japan at the moment. when you look at this inflation inflation isc, nearer in the front side of the

curve. will it even more pronounced? messageed delivers a that we are ready to take a risk with inflation and we are not going to tighten much. in the mid-near-term you might see some corrective steepening i don't think it's going to go too hard. that.ld contribute to that is going to cap that steepening. that is a risk for the long end of the curve. guy: what do you make of the fact or the people concerned with inflation will make of this? they will be champing at the bit. they are already worried this will become a problem. how long can janet yellen keep >> the likes of brent

accelerate if they realize they are behind the curve. it is some thing they want to avoid. the bet they are willing to make for now is that global conditions will cap inflation and clearly miss yellen was not convinced about the sustainability of the recent pickup in core inflation. she wants to see signs that it will stay around and that inflation pressure will stick for longer before she can worry. we will have inflation undershooting for some time and it seems they are willing to accept it for some time, given the global economic conditions. guy: we set the groundwork, what is the rate trade on the back of this? we bought inflation, give us for we need to be looking

just a quick look at what we have got here. we do that sterling has been under pressure and has been for quite some time. but why have we got this amazing chart in front of us and what is this cloud we talk about? >> i had to people outside earlier to see if it were cloudy, it is not. this study is a trend study. traders use it to identify price trends. it used by japanese traders the forecast the likes of the yen. in recent years it has been adopted by the western world and we can analyze this. guy: the basic premise is, the thicker the cloud, the more resistance. it is unlikely that this is

.ikely to break to the upside >> that is right. analyze this care about the following things. where is the relationship between the price and the cloud. how is the cloud slanting. we can see this moving average band which is essentially a cloud slanting downwardly. finally, the orange one you see should be below the blue line so the cloud should be twisted bearish lee. the thickness of the cloud indicates that the market has seen a strong trend lower and stopped consolidating. the key message there is that

they need to work extra hard to change the current bearish sentiment in the market. the need to push through the cloud and break the top of it which is currently 146. guy: can you see anything positive in sterling right now? >> it's coming from the fed. the fact that the fed was so dovish. we have seen the euro shooting higher and they are benefiting from that, but i agree. the potential is very limited. not many people are going to be willing to reverse their short positions on sterling that remains a very close call. let's see what the eu summit brings this week about immigration. the immigration crisis worsens in spring and that will keep people worried about the outcome of the referendum.

have also a fairly dovish bank of england. that could also limit the potential for sterling. guy: you don't see mark carney in his current term raising rights at all? >> that is correct. have at change if we stake in the referendum and we see economic benefit from that that know, for now our central view is there would be no hike in the cycle. guy: carney talks but not wanting to see -- to take part in the currency war. very nice to see you. we are minutes away from the european equity market open. up next with a look at the potential for movers. rio tinto has a new ceo.

shapeook in much better and many ways. guy: he has outperformed his sector peers. absolute terms of has been her rent this in relative terms he has done a very good job. he is outperformed glencore. guy: he is an insider and knows the business and he has bought into the strategy. >> a think that is right and what is interesting is that he has the copperhead and not the iron ore head. so the question that investors will be asking is does this signal a shift toward more core projects. developing that will be a huge part of what he has to do. are they going to be the company that does m&a? guy: we have talked to various

of the bosses and you get the sense that the rio is in the driving seat on this story. focus may be an area they on. how easy will it be to buy assets in this space? >> it's like, yes the balance sheet is stronger to do deals if they are there. we've seen before that he suffered because he made bad acquisitions. up.ly good assets came >> it is hard to say, i expect positively. everyone would new he would be going at some point. guy: thank you very much indeed. coming up, it is the market open . futures are fairly positive. we will see a one cent bounce.
