everything i see has gotten the key portion in asia has had a bit of a rally. they are losing a bit of steam, but we are still in positive territory when it comes to the regional benchmark year. china down 9/10 of 1%. that is ahead of the fx reserve data. level should stay about the same as what we saw back in february. adding to the idea that the pboc may hit -- may delay this cut. we are seeing a bit of pressure on the south. a lot of fluctuations in some of these major markets, particularly in japan. now about 1/5 of 1%. it is a stronger yen.

it is swing between gains and losses. we are seeing a little bit of an upside right now. there are a lot of talks from the likes of jpmorgan, saying that intervention into the japanese yen right now really wouldn't do much. it would just be futile. 109.07 is where we stand right now. the oil prices also giving producers around the region a bit of a boost. we saw health-care stocks in the u.s. overnight, over that pfizer and allergan deal. i want to end on some other big earnings. samsung electronics falling 2% a first-quarter preliminary operating profit actually beating estimates thanks to the early release of the galaxy s7.

>> the committee certainly reserves the right to make a move at any time. >> a live meeting is just a meeting where you can debate, is that right? >> we debate at all meetings. all meetings are live meeting's, there is no other way to think about it. manus: did the top fed watchers react? what did they think? >> i think, they want to raise rates but they want to do it at a very gradual pace. a couple of rate hikes this year is probably right. >> june and december. i think the fed is going to be a little overshooting again in terms of what they think they are going to do in 2017. >> they are trapped by their own mandate. their mandate, strictly a domestic mandate. primarily --are are more global and more

demanding. >> it is likely what they want insee is called -- is calm the markets, but i think april is not going to happen given what we heard today. manus: let's bring in the head of market strategy. trapped by their own agenda. peter: -- what was your take? peter: i think we expected a broad set of views, but i think the dominant one was the concern about international risk. while yellen sort of encourages dialogue, there is still a section of the fed that remains significantly dovish. while we are not really seeing a reaction in the markets, whether it is a strong dollar or even increased expectations of fed fund rates.

manus: if you didn't get once, get it three times, bullard said. debate.e there is a there is nothing shocking in that. yellen, as a chairperson, encourages that kind of dialogue. she really does that. i think it is often confusing in the marketplaces, it adds .ignificant uncertainty i think overall, she is cautious, watching and develop internationally, and that is going to be the dominant force in her policy-setting action. that is what they are focusing on and that is what will define their rate. manus: what will spin this? if we look at wrip, december is a 53%.

what would it take to spin the odds, to change the dynamic? saidt of the 17 on the fed the risk of inflation is tilted to the downside. the risk on the five-year, five-year is tilted to the downside. first of all, oil is a big piece of the story. the fact that it is not increasing significantly creates downside pressure on inflation. number two, i think the data coming out of china is a huge, important mover and whether the fed's expectation changes. if we start seeing stabilization and improvement, i think expectations will ramp up very quickly. we think that the international backdrop of growth is going to be very low for most of 2016, and that is going to keep the fed from raising rates very aggressively.

that could change very quickly. manus: should i buy some dollar-yenptions -- options? supply qe, far left. who cares? bank of japan, negative rates. here we go, where back for a bit of shock and all -- shock and awe. i don't think that run is done. one thing we are getting from japan is that the expectation for inflation, if you look at the recent report, continues to decline. tools, as you mentioned very clearly, they are having less and less of an effect in the marketplace. boj ist move for the probably buying private assets, so there is not much more that

joins us now. we are all waiting on these numbers. i think what the market probably wants to see is some kind of a flaw being created. >> i think the flaws that the market is looking at is not something that will come about anytime soon. , after thel see is wide swings of what happened in january, the pboc burns speculators out of the market, what that is actually resulted in is some sort of stability in the market. we have used expectations, east capital outflow pressures, and kind of positively improved sentiment. that is, i think, the big take reserves decline less. maybe a $6 million decline

compared to a record $108 million decline. manus: one of the great stories that i read was about how chinese companies are getting burned. this drop in the yuan. i know that is little compared to the fx story, but it is an issue. robin: earlier this year, we had exporters taking the rare step of speaking up. it seems like the pboc has heard. what we see is the central bank following this tool policy of depreciation against the dollar while allowing depreciation of currencies against its partners. how the central bank is achieving this is by limiting the amount of increases against the dollar.

as you know, the dollar hasn't done very well for the past few months. to illustrate this point, if you look at the euro, so far this about -- it is up about 5% against the dollar whereas the yuan is up about 0.4%. exporters have little reason to complain for now. manus: thank you so much. peter is still with us. everyone is waiting for this number. the fxnese are taught trader a lesson, don't screw with our currency. the expectations for further evaluation was pretty strong. they reversed it, they continue to make it a bleeding trade, one

people to liquidate their cash and move out of the chinese yuan . not looking at the rrr so aggressively is an easy way of stemming the tide. there are other back alleys which they need to focus on more specifically than using the rrr. manus: we have seen 104. investors have been buying offshore stocks, 104 consecutive days, $6.8 billion. it has flowed from on land into hong kong. the -- is, is that that where the next defensive play comes in? if they want to hold the tide, they will have to clamp down on these. becaused to be stopped, the official routes are being closed. they are easy to close.

the back ways of finding investments is what the pboc and be chinese dollar needs to look at. manus: where do you stand on the discussion? we heard robin talked about the euro value against the dollar. numbereems to be the everyone is going for. , we don't see a fundamental reason why the dollar should continue to appreciate. we had a low expectation for the fed's policy path. we think the international market will keep the fed relatively dovish. from an interest rate standpoint, relative value, you get better value over the u.s.. ,e don't see the reason why even in a safe haven trade, we're seeing things like swiss franc and yen more optimal than

has been steadily ceding market share, i think in the global smartphone market, it may be facing its most challenging year since the inception of the smartphone. as far as samsung resurgence, i think it is too early to call. manus: too early to call. much from our bloomberg tech editor in hong kong. when we talk about the oil story, it is fascinating. ways, one ofany the single biggest drivers of this chart. we use this a couple of weeks ago. the emerging market exchange rates. march, the biggest ramp-up, 5.5%. we have begun to give that back.

this story -- this oil story is inextricably linked along with a benevolent fed, a less aggressive fed. does that hold? think it does. we saw the economic data, sort of bottom out in the beginning of the year. things like terms of trade for commodity importers, or exporters adjusted. onsaw a significant rally that back. now, we are starting to see the uncertainty of growth. while we are not going to see downgrades in sort of regional outlook, we don't expect it to be spectacular. i think what we're seeing now is an adjustment for lower growth rates for an extended period of time. the global macro conditions, as you said, the dovish fed, macro conditions in china, should allow high-yield traders to continue to go after these currencies.

it is interesting, that was one of our stories last week , the emerging market fx trading is driven by politics. look at what is happening, for example, in the real. even in terms of europe. in terms of the em space, you have the rail story -- the real story. you can see cut a bit of a shift in terms of the complexion. how do you differentiate -- at the top of the show, we were talking about one of them being barnstorming. peter: we are looking for things that can apply, and see what the differential is in terms of expectations in the market. that is a big piece. generally, the political whetheres as well as they are exporters importers, commodities. all of that takes place.

anti-eu sentiment in one of the bloc's founding members. would make the netherlands the only eu member not to ratify the treaty. >> this is an important political fact. it means that it cannot proceed as was expected before. we have to take it step by step. we have now to talk within the cabinet, with the parliament, with our european partners, although -- also with the ukraine come to see what the consequences of this decision might be. manus: for more on this story, we're joined from amsterdam by our netherlands government reporter. what does the outcome mean for the netherlands? that wes a surprise turn down this treaty between the eu and ukraine.

tois mainly seen as a blow the dutch prime minister's government, and his cabinet, all promoting the yes vote for this treaty. now, it is a no. it means they have to go back to brussels and they will renegotiate a treaty. that is quite a difficult task for them. is going to be difficult for everybody involved. ireland --ly sent they didn't like the outcome, i think it was over the lisbon treaty, and they made us vote again. what does it mean for the brexit referendum? that wewhat it means is now have a first referendum about the eu topic, and the outcome was that 60% said no. so, what could be the outcome for a british referendum is that

it is possible to reject a proposal, something maybe people cannot think could happen, but this could be a first time that people could say no. manus: there you go. thank you so much for breaking that down for us. let's talk about jpmorgan. the chief executive, jamie dimon , he has revealed his thoughts on a range of suspects. his rates, brexit, in annual shareholders letter. nejra cehic is here. he has got to say about the fact. nejra: what he is saying is that he is less worried about negative interest rates, but he is more concerned the rates might rise faster than expected. he also said that the market won't be able to rely on the biggest buyers of u.s. debt. we're talking about the fed,

foreign countries, commercial banks. he says that, if this scenario were to happen with interest rates on ten-year treasuries on the rise, the result is unlikely to be as smooth as we all might hope for. treasuries, of course, had their biggest quarterly gain in the first quarter of this year. jamie dimon is really worried that that rally could turn around. manus: he also talked about brexit. he talks about it in terms of real risk for europe. he certainly didn't hold back, did he? nejra: he said the outcomes of a brexit are large and potentially unknown. he said that in one bad scenario , and he stresses this is not the worst-case scenario, the exit would trigger trade retaliation by eu countries, hurting both sides. he said that it is hard to determine if the long run impact would strengthen the european

union or cause it to break apart. in the best case scenario, britain quickly renegotiate's hundreds of free trade agreements with the eu and countries around the world. he said that even this scenario would result in years of uncertainty, and it would hurt the economies of both britain and the eu. manus: thank you very much, giving us the latest. have the sage of omaha and we have the sage of jamie. he is barely on the money in terms of identifying some of the biggest risks. peter: we all know the brexit is one of them. i'm not sure this is revolutionary. i think that speculating exactly how, if there is a u.k. referendum, and if the u.k. does decide to leave, how brussels will react. i think that is still very much

up in the air. manus: i can assure you of this, his temperament and tone of voice -- peter: he has to speak like that now. after the vote -- manus: have you met many friends people recently? peter: i grew up five miles from the border. manus: let's talk about risk. oft we have here is the cost protecting yourself. in real terms, real -- in real terms, year to date. people will write in and send me a bloomberg, this is misrepresented. i grant you, the cost to insure yourself is still 10 times higher than it is on the u.k.. the other markets are not. peter: i think, first of all, it shows the uncertainty around the brexit.
