us, david, first take through the mechanics of what the policy actually is. it is slightly different than most essential banks. most will set their policy against an interest rate. they will use their exchange rate as their policy. what it does, it will set its exchange rate against the basket currencies.ed it is an undisclosed basket with unknown weightings in it. basically, it will let that basket rise against it or fall. control inflation to pull that the currency appreciate against the basket. if it wants to diminish inflation, it will let the policy go down again. that is what it has done, why has it done it? demandas we know, global

is slowing down. singapore in particular is heavily sensitive to export and import industries. total trade for singapore according to the word bank -- affected byould be these global headwinds that it is seeing. they highlight that japan, europe, and the u.s. growth is certainly slowing down. beenxport industry has heavily affected by that. therefore, it is trying to control the exchange rates to help incentivize these industries to help improve exports. up there,ll wrap it thanks for the update. it is having a significant effect on the market. joining us now is a guest. good morning, you have these forces in the market at the moment. equity markets surging yesterday. yet we of the imf feeling pretty

on the metrics of an environment of slow rising corporate rates. of course, the fed which is still adamant that they will have interest rate and then you ask to hold the noise of a central banks. the key here is that the world the needs the weaker dollar. it is all about the dollar, in my opinion. is singapore able to sort of intervene and affect their currency when you see the bank of japan really struggling to weaken the yen? steen: the answer is they can't. you can defy gravity short-term but it will ultimately take singapore down. they see this as a preemptive strike to move up first. this is in line with what they have done historically. singapore will be hurt because it is a small economy. those are always the first ones to feel the headwinds. to me, it is a telltale sign of how the world continues to

subpar in far -- terms of growth. the elbow for any economy in asia, and europe, and africa, and latin america, are very confused. no one is not -- everyone is willing to work harder to do reforms. the only thing they get from policymakers and central bankers is that crisis mode. abouter talk productivity, or changing the set up. it is impossible with the election and campaign and the u.s. and the brexit and election in france coming up. the election in spain is in disarray. ireland just threw out government that an 8% growth. guy: we can listen to what kuroda says, but forget all those guys. it really is about janet yellen. is that the message? federalhe is the first

there is a huge inventory overhang. we have supply going through the roof if oil prices continue to rise. unitll see new supply. we need a range. we will have excess supply coming in. part of the reason why which was not mentioned just now that we have high oil prices is some disruption to the supply recently for some of the suppliers in the marketplace. the market likes to play on events. it is like watching a barcelona game, or something. in real terms, economically, don't forget it is the average price not the range. i think the average price will be 40 or 45 for the balance of this year. earlier you mentioned how janet yellen is looking abroad and taking her cues from

international benchmarks. what oil price do you think she is looking and as she makes her calculations? if you give your answer in a thick brooklyn accent. [laughter] d: she will be very happy with my answer which is we have 55 and and the upside we the downside would be 35. a scenario where oil can get out of this range. we alluded to that just before the introduction, what is really concerning is the middle east. cracksy, we've seen against that system. if you were calling him, the hotline or whatever, what would you ask? ryan: we already know the top

three questions -- economy, economy, economy. one of the reasons that vladimir putin is so popular is what he has done in syria. now into a recession and austerity. there worrying about the bread and butter issues like the economy. to know about what is going on with oil, for example. think of this as group therapy. he is there to tell them he is worried about oil as well. while the can't control the price of oil, he can do what he can to influence events. asked, ie will be would ask him about oil. i will ask him what he has offered to the other companies. he has obviously been involved in forming the russian pitch in doha and how the russian economy

standpoint, europe is about two years behind from where the u.k. and u.s. is. we were 11% up in the quarter. in places like germany, 5%. from an inflation standpoint, we are looking at 2% to 3% in those markets will step if i go to s. if i go to spain, we have seen a rebound and we have wage inflation around 3% to 5%. we are much better than we were once year ago. hans: we make this statement about every time we get the unemployment numbers. what is the number we should focus on, when we look at unemployment? what do you really focus on? >> unemployment, i tend to say "who cares?"

you are better off looking at pmi. by the good thing across europe is more jobs are being created. a lot of businesses that did headcount productions any tough times are sliding 2-4 roles back. we have seen across europe, an improvement in employment activities. we certainly do see good activity with good foreign indicators. we are in the higher end of the salary levels. we expect growth to continue in europe at around 10% for the next year. guy: draghi must be delighted. >> he does seem to be today, looking at the unemployment rates. i think we forget sometimes that there are countries in europe that is significantly better than even the u.s. or eastern european bloc. we have spain rebounding. we have seen portugal labor costs being cheaper than germany

for the first time. losing and france are competitive power and that is being replaced by a much broader, universal green chip in terms of the fme sector, the ability to transform economies. eastern europe has become the hub. they are all growing at about 3% growth pretty much. i think that is totally in line with the fact that we see a much which is running into the political atmosphere of refugees and brexit. on the ground, i think people are willing to work hard and make the changes. they are willing to adapt to this new, whatever paradigm we an unroll. >> most business in europe is in recruitment, candidates looking to change jobs. housing will be better.

consumers will be better and retail will be better. we are faced with the growth we have got, which is candidate driven. in addition to that, part of the is refunding some of the jobs they have let go. we have seen countries like spain benefit from the restructuring they have done. we have seen manufacturing moves out of germany into eastern europe and spain. but it's improving the possibility for the german companies. i think it is a win-win for the european market. guy: let's talk a little bit about hays. this is the an hour function here at bloomberg. the yellow line is the price target for your business. we are down. the moment. what is it going to take? for yourno sales stock, but you have this spread here at the moment. what is it going to take to close that? >> our 10 years are very well

increase, 3.9%, which beat the estimate of 3.6%. that was driven largely by espresso coffee. despite the beat in the numbers, a part of the reason we have seen that increase in the nestle share prices, up as much as 1.2%, that first-quarter growth rate is at its slowest pace since 2009. nestle has been struggling to get consumers interested in convenience foods. as a response, they are pushing into new areas like medical nutrition and skincare. nestle did confirm its four year outlook, but that in february it expects organic growth to be 4.2%,r to last year's below its long-term target of 5% to 6%. the increase today we have seen him pricing was a myth. -- was a miss.

itself in this new environment. facebook went from being a stationary web-based company to now having 90% of their traffic on mobile and portable. i think they need to go through the same sort of transportation, gearing to where the customers are. people want to be able to do their transferring of money instantaneously. i am nervous because they are underperforming. it makes it very difficult for them to raise capital and the regulatory framework in the u.s. keeps getting tighter and tighter. berlin.ns her ee i get to ask the same question we are always asking in terms of banks. what does it mean for deutsche bank? >> [laughter] what does it mean for doj deutsche bank? jpmorgan our best in class. they are almost a rock star and the world of banks, but i think

deutsche bank is a very different story. they have had what, four different programs to restate th emselves. deutsche bank is central to the german economy and german government. i don't think there is a risk of them going out of business, but they have to continue through the legal complications they have in terms of their structure. but i think for the marketplace, i am nervous because deutsche bank always has been one of the biggest contributors to liquidity in the marketplace. that is what really concerns me in the interest of deutsche bank. guy: take a guy like mark carney . on the one hand, he knows his job is to get a grip on the banking sector. and then, he will probably see that the bank of england has gone too far. the banks are under attack, we understand that. have central bankers and regulators screwed up? >> may certainly have been very

harsh on the banks. fundamentally, this is economics 101. the only legal entity in the entire society that can create liquidity credit is the banks. on the one hand they have political pressure. at the same time, the economy is under severe deflationary forces due to the monetary system, which is accommodative at all times and constantly in an emergency crisis. we need to go back to the thr ee-six model of banking. that is what banks need to be doing. the problem mark carney has is, a bank is not a bank. is it somebody who is a credit facility? which is what they should do and that is where the problem role is for most banks. most had global investment banks. we need banks to be credit

facilities. that is but we need in this economy, somebody who takes the responsibility to direct and create credit. hans: how far away are we from that 3-6-3 model? you add all of that up and you get 12, which is guys' handicap, but we will market into that now. >> generally, also when i talked to bankers in london, they have become far more accommodative in terms of having longer periods of what goes on. i think to some extent, we have seen the worst of the regulatory tightening, the delhi in the u.k..inly in the i think the deal done in italy, when that comes under the microscope again, i don't think people will like it.

i am a little bit nervous about one of the catalysts that is coming. these cracks in the walls of the bank and their ability to deal with that regulatory demand. at the same time, we have had enough earnings power to actually make the cover increase. i don't think they can do that. i think the banks are in a very hard spot right now. guy: they are not on the golf course. rigure othey are on thei bikes these days. >> it is not a good business model. and i never get to the golf course, which of course is very sad. guy: steen is going to stay with us. up next, it is time for battle of the charts. that competition, up next. ♪

that is even with draghi printing off all of that money. shy do we see this th divergence? guy, what do you have? guy: let me take you through this quickly. in some ways, they are a little related. this is my chart. this is one of the rare examples of core being above inflation. i am obsessed with inflation right now, so i may be a little bit biased in terms of the inflation. in spain, we were talking with the ceo of hays. the question is, which way do we get reversion? is this a lead indicator for the rest of europe, or is this just an anomaly in the spanish economy? let's get steen's take on this. which one do you like? steen: i think it is going to be a draw in the sense that you

have the most interesting chart, but i think hans' chart is what is scaring asset managers and allocators around the world. constantly when i get research from my esteemed colleague around the world, they are alluding to the fact that it is not working. but they are all part of the same functionality. the planning of central banks,k hans, is not working. at the bare minimum, the fed is backing down for now and they are getting fuel into the market. they went from four hikes to probably one. your chart is the most is theting and hans is's most significant. it is going to be a draw guy: i have lost track of the score actually, hans. a draw does take us to an even stevens. hans: just a quick point.

the chart of the hour. joins us. nejra: for the last three years shinzo abe could say, corporate earnings are rising and that is a sign our policies are working. that does not seem to be the case anymore. this chart shows how the nikkei 225 has been tracking the dollar yen. as it has risen, stocks have fallen. most of japan's biggest companies reported results in early may. the yen's strength is prompting stocks. to cut their fast retailing accounts from 7% of the nikkei 225. that aoneta estimates one yen change affects its

profit by 40 billion yen, the country's highest profit earner and biggest employer. anticipating a even broader slump, foreign investors are already leaving japanese stocks. billion inumped $46 shares over 13 straight weeks, the longest stretch of net sales since 1998. it is not all negative. have a rise partly because of a stronger yen, which lowers the cost of fuel prices. earnings could fall the most since 2012 this quarter. it looks like it is all about the yen. hans: moving back to this germany story. amid the controversy surrounding the pentagon papers, we spoke to a local member of the german parliament. he is the german finance minister.

he is calling for stricter and more efficient sanctions on tax evasion, including banks. here is what he had to say about how germany compares to the u.s. in dealing with tax fraud. >> i think that in germany, we have a lot of loss and we had a acts thatministration are much weaker than in the united states. if you break law in the united states, the consequences are much tougher and much harder than it is here. maybe there are some different traditions in our cultures, but i think what we have is too crime, of taxfe of inud, mike what we found these recent months and years. hans: here in berlin. thanks for joining us. the finance minister is saying bank licenses should potentially

be revoked if banks are not forthcoming with the information that they have. >> is difficult to say whether this proposal will be successful. one can say that with the panama papers, we have a new approach to basically get tougher with banks as well. hans: germany could be a leader here? how will germany lead this fight? >> whether germany will be a leader on the international basis, that is questionable. but basically, there is a lot to do probably also in germany at the moment. the question is whether there will be tougher sanctions on german banks inth the run up to this scandal. ons: where is schaeuble this? >> he has not yet come out with a clear position. licenses dohdrawing not really add much.

but he has also pointed out in his 10 point plan that really, one might have to look at giving authorities more power to basically also kind of go against banks or anybody who is basically helping offshore companies. hans: mother has been talking about this for some time. orjans hasr-b been talking about this for some time. how much have the panama papers changed the tenor of his conversation in berlin. >> there is a question as to whether this is supposed to have changed. the finance minister says, we have been doing a lot. we have been on the forefront of trying to head an exchange of information. so, we should continue and push further on an international level the automatic exchange and set up a register for offshore

companies. hans: if they do that, it could affect the big companies like deutsche bank and commerzbank. when do you see this happening? this year or next year? >> i don't think there is a timeline yet and it will depend on how long the media around his papers continue. within germany, the situation has changed. people want tougher sanctions. depending on how long this debate lasts, we will see whether this push will happen. schaeuble invest political capital, to me that is the key question. thank you for your time this morning. and guy, let's send it back to you in london. guy: let's talk about another political story, the two are interconnected. up next, the brexit shadow on

england. how is this distorting things were governor mark carney? ♪

guy: welcome back. you are watching "on the move." we will get the final reading for the eurozone inflation for the month of march. and then we get the readings for the bank of america. wells fargo, 1:00 p.m.. and that the bank of england makes its interest rate

announcement at midday. let's talk about this with bloomberg first world strategist richard jones. the market is trying to do so many things with its rate path. designed to price in -- it is trying to price in with what is happening with brexit. the only thing i am looking for today is any hints that the banks are getting more dovish. richard: that is what we should be looking for. it would not expect it, but that is what we should be looking for. i thought the statement they made overnight in singapore was interesting. the most interesting thing for me was what they talked about, sort of weak global demand. for a trade sensitive economy like singapore, i think that is interesting that they are citing this eweak global demand because we have seen the fed and

boj do that. guy: in many ways, you can look at london and compare and contrast with singapore. and we live in an open economy that is where exposed to these global headwinds. there are comparisons here. richard: there are and i think it is interesting that the mas cited broad-based indicators, domestic services and manufacturing. with it being that broad-based, i would see a very gloomy perspective on global demand. i think that is what the bank of england will be looking at. hans: the dollar continues to gain this morning. most u.s. districts said growth was in the modest to moderate range. later today we will hear from dennis lockhart, who will be speaking to kathleen hays at 1:3 0 today. richard, i will take you across several oceans. let's pretend you have a private

jet. fan?ou a mets or braves richard: neither. i think it is interesting. if i was able to speak to lockhart, i would love to see what the sense of the varying views on the fomc are. how divided our policymakers. we know what janet yellen thinks, she has gone out of her way to tell us. but what do each of the regions think and how important is that for fed policy? the fed is very dovish and leading towards a cautious stance, while some of the regions are less dovish. hans: we have a budget micro-economies. new york is booming for what ever reason. maybe they have some of the shale action from pennsylvania. and then we have many recessions throughout the country. richard: yes, it is very much like europe.

we have a multi-speed europe. germany is doing much better than some of the other regions. and that is true of the u.s. as well. given the regional distortions and the regional specificities, i think that makes a lot of sense, hans. guy: richard jones, thank you. stay with bloomberg after the break. coming up in a few minutes time. a wide-ranging conversation coming up there with francine. and then, a conversation on luxury with paolo scaroni. withar themes tied up lvmh. the market is taking burberry down to the 1250 level. we are trading down 7%. they have exceeded expectations on the downside.

it is unsurprising to see european equity markets very flat this morning. the singapore story is front and center. "the pulse" is up next. ♪
