day,l news, 24 hours a powered by our 2400 journalists. now you can find more stories. manus: let's check in on those markets. anna is quite right. she is talking about down 1.3 percent. the equity market, pausing for a little bit of rest but we have had a good run, haven't we? >> we certainly have. i want to show you this. the regional benchmark index. it is up 0.75%. the dow positive for the year. so is this region. level.t its highest it has rebounded 15% since we saw the index tumbled in january. japan is a different story. it is all about these currencies. meaning the yen has surged.

the eu president meets with the turkish prime minister this morning to discuss a deal to help turkey stem the flow of refugees into europe. let's go to ryan chilcote. good morning. bring us up-to-date. do we have a deal? brian: -- not exactly. so far, the 24 member states have agreed. now they just have to get the turks on board. beingospects of the turks ar on board are about as clear as it is in brussels today. they want more money. two they want faster membership talks. the feeling is, we are not sure turkey is ready to be a member but we can fill around the edges. the third thing the turks want is these of free travel for their citizens traveling to the

european union by june. of those things, that could be the stumbling block. manus: what is the difference between this and what they were discussing last week? the it come down to logistics of managing this agreement? ryan: it is the second or third of those things. one thing that has definitely changed, angela merkel's original idea was as soon as the people come across to greece, they would be deported back. and now it is has turned into a situation where no, we will give them fair process. concern for greece is, that makes us into a shelter and hilention facility w

these asylum wait for applications to be processed. all the while, the turks have been saying we will take migrants and refugees back but the european union has to legally accept a one for everyone we take. countries, lot of eu hungary notably, that say we are not going to take any. anna: as if they did not have enough to deal with on the turkey question, mario draghi made an appearance in brussels. ryan: he did. he was pushing thanking union. he said, we need clarity on where this monetary union is going. the portuguese asked language they would discuss the baking union in the next meeting. angela merkel said we do not need any particular need. it is one issues where the countries have agreed to

disagree. that means some people say things are not moving as quickly as they should. it manus: thank you. we will get more from ryan. we go to istanbul for the reaction in turkey. that is going to be in the next hour. let's talk about oil. in new: we'll prices york closed above $40 a barrel per the first time since december. is that difficult to do with the dollar rose we discussed? oil is priced in dollars. when the dollar weakens, currencies,other oil effectively becomes cheaper. afford to buy more and that pushes prices higher. the comments from the federal reserve had the expectation of

dampening expectations for rate increases. if you look at the dollar spot index, the bloomberg dollar spot main versus wti crude, the benchmark, they are almost a perfect mirror image. you have weakening dollar, slowing increases of stockpiles. in the background, the hope that someeeting will result in kind of agreement to freeze oil output. as we know, that is going to be a tricky thing to pull off. anna? manus? manus: let's bring in our guest host. the chief economist at wells fargo. largest of bank. great to have you with us.

+++ coming lower. is that everything that janet yellen would like? perhaps more off the table? guest: i think most of congress and industry would be happy with the weaker dollar. i think that is good for our experts. they have been a detractor for economic growth. it is also a signaling effect. it is signaling their intention, we are going to go for growth. we are not going to worry about the inflation numbers as we were perceived to be in the past. it is good for the markets. you think the dollar rally is over? rip, dollar rally is the story

this morning. guest: in terms of the relative difference in interest rates, yes. the rally is over. simply because the fed has said, we are not going to be pushing this game. you talk about five economic fundamentals. we have a couple of charts. you talk about, there was this panic discussion about recession. people talked about a global manufacturing recession. it me or thoughts in terms of, have we passed through the eye of the needle in terms of recession? guests: i think the answer is yes. beenmployment numbers have strong career leading indicators seem to have turned around. are remarkably low. i think we passed through that needle. now, the policy aspect of the the fundamental

economic numbers, suggesting the economy is good to go. i was struck by the number you say don't revert, even though people think they do. is that people are concerned about? guest: i would agree with you. when we looked at the price-earnings ratio, anybody can calculate an average. when you look at the price-earnings ratio, people were concerned it was high, it does not necessarily revert to the past. a truly globalized economy. inflation does not revert to mean, either. at the graph,k inflation has downshifted. again, that is a shock for the american psyche.

i remember with jimmy carter, commodities in the u.s. in terms of going to the store, buying the groceries, have been in deflation the last two years. is creeping.ion i wouldn't use the word resurgent. it is creeping higher. we will talk more about oil later. but it is getting better. guest: that is what the fed wanted. they said, we don't want to deal with deflation. that is what you are seeing here. manus: is this the peak of what we are going to get? guest: i know. -- guest: no. even if some of the dots do not quite make it. thank you very much.

this story, cutting between 10%-while percent. -- 10%-12%. manus: the bonus pool has arisen for 2015. i catch up each quarter. he talked about the delay, the targets.rofitability the bonus pool rises 14%. that is the banner headline. bucking the trend in a variety of ways. yuan headed for a big game. manus: let's get to our asia emerging markets editor. when you read this story, you were sort of chuckling when you came in. uan is you one -- the y up, but it is a dollar story. >> the thing that is happening

now is people are getting nervous, especially me. at it 9:15 a.m., shanghai time. it was not a huge surprise. a 1.3 percent drop in the dollar overnight. they raised it by 0.5%. the back story, yesterday, dollar, following a one point 1% decline, we were expecting a fixing if the pboc followed its stated objective of following market moves. we were expecting 0.5%. the lesson to take away is the pboc will follow the dollar's moves overnight when it suits them. when it does not, they will lessen the impact and generally to guideuan fixing

market sentiment rather than following market moves strictly. update,ank you for the joining us from hong kong to be talk about canada. manus: three years, the canadian dollar reached parity with its american neighbor but it has declined 25%. the canadian prime minister says the currency is in a comfortable range. the dollarl in someion has benefits quarters and challenges in others? absolutely. do i think those are going to stop anytime soon? willnk the canadian dollar always bounce around a bit. there is a range in which it is comfortable and we tend to be in that now. let's bring back into the

conversation the chief economist at a wells fargo. small clip of what i mr. trudeau -- prime minister trudeau had to say. the canadians calling on other countries to shy away from austerity. we had the u.k. chancellor sain, at least, he is sticking to his austerity. this global in debate? a globalthink it is debate. the question is, as we have seen, overall gdp as assessed by the imf has been downshifted. the question is, wait a minute, we want austerity but how do we get the growth? it has shifted in the favor of more stimulus. here, this i've got

debt gdp ratio. canada is in an enviable position. italy, in terms of their position. they've got the latitude pivot not everybody has the latitude. mario draghi said, i have saved everybody. guest: clearly, with interest rates at the longer end of the curve, the sovereign debt curve, doing a little stimulus. are globallyhich in demand, it would be very inexpensive. carefully thought out fiscal stimulus would be a positive and would not be expensive. anna: what do you think of the canadian economy? message we are getting from trudeau is, i am not my father.

that was decades ago. what do you think of new canada? guest: canada is very much in the commodity business, exporting. commodity prices are up and that should be positive for canada. manus: oil, back at $40 a barrel. the question is, can that sustain? the number of will ricks in the u.s., we have not seen at at this lower level since 2009. the reality for customers of wells fargo, it is about oil. been spendingcans their extra oil dollars? are we going to top $40? t: we are talking about a lot of stimulus, global demand picking up. what do you hear from

texas and that part of america? going to start tracking on the retrenchment to they have done? guest: the answer would be no. they will wait and see. give me three months, six months, maybe they will stop backtracking and put into place more equipment. opening up the wells again. right now, i think there's a little bit of skepticism. manus: do we need something radical from g-20? need a core needed response, a coordinated commitment? guest: i would say the answer would be yes. individual countries acting on their own are going to be concerned about their trade balance and currency. it will be difficult for one country to push ahead by itself and then create distortions. i would say, no. going back to your point, you need someone.

fiscal stimulus is helpful on a limited amount. anna: thank you. next, baptism of fire in brazil. ♪
