lowering their sovereign outlooks. speaking in washington after the , so theseng downgrades happened last month, and china has taken some time to respond here. of a delayedit reaction, an interesting given the initial reaction from china was that they did not care too much about the cuts because it had little impact, but stronger language coming through from the , takingfinance minister the opportunity to denounce the international ratings agencies for bias against china. he says the downgrades don't reflect the market performance of that debt and don't reflect the economic realities. he points to the high levels of gdp growth at 6.7 percent and the first quarter quarter in line with the government targets , despite, as you can see,

topline gdp growth falling from double digits in 2010 to that 6.5% level that were seeing now. not actuallygdp is what the ratings agencies are only concerned about. when they cut their outlook on sovereign debt for china, they cited the debt burden which went from 164% to almost 250% of gdp between 2000 8-2015, and the cost of servicing that debt is the concern. that is already a significant drag on growth and will only be exacerbated going further. you can see the problem in the search and chinese bonds, at the same time this recovery being field by more debt, march aggregate financing, 360 billion dollars, one of the highest on record and comes on the back of that record lending that we saw at the beginning of this year, a lot of that going into the property market.

that has been fueling the recovery. the finance minister says that ratings agencies and the imf, which has also warned of the rocky china rebalancing, he says they are not familiar with the reforms in the pipeline, including the controversy of to equity swap program. he said the supply-side measures are also in the works. counting downlso to those property prices at the bottom of the hour. some other stories we are watching for you today. morning. the world's finance chiefs and did spring talks in washington on an up the note but cautioned the financial calm may only be to liberate. they say risks have stabilize, but christine lagarde explaining that the talks were a bit of collective therapy to move from the negative situation to a more positive approach. still, christine lagarde was cautious. >> there was not exactly the

plummeting.n stocks thank you for joining us. iran was not playing ball, but this conditional offer from the saudis led to the collapse in talks. were you surprised by the change in tone? difficult.t was commentaryajority of predicted the outcome.

it really was not in the saudi interest politically or economically to tie its hands at this stage. think a more interesting aspect is to think about the implications. had there been an agreement, there would have been positive formalization of the big players. saudi was agreeing that it would non-opecto replace production, particularly lower u.s. production, so theoretically leaving that own that as ability -- possibility. i think iran's production

increases will be slow going from here. they have done the easy part. from here on in, they have to infrastructure, so i don't think will need to increase production under that scenario. i think they will be happy to see production fall back and the market move towards a balance. yvonne: it seems like they're holding their ground, but what does it mean in terms of the overall rebalancing of the market. most people are saying that this deal that would have gone have seen the rebalancing speed up. how much is this delayed now? my feeling is that it probably has not delayed in that sense the agreement was about a contingency. if it had been adhered to, it would've put a cap on further production increases by the big

opec producers outside the saudis, kuwait, and probably iraq. the chances are that they are unlikely to increase production much anyway. end whole in the game -- in game has been to increase production faster -- limit production faster than they did in the 1980's. they want to bleed out the higher cost producers, and so as long as that continues to progress, there's not a lot of point in increasing production, so we are going to move towards a balance. thise: we've seen production freeze come a very much baked into the prices of equities, and we've regained all the losses we saw at the start of this year. now, back tos mean

a risk off until we see another meeting? i think this is very interesting today, because essentially the meeting created a bit of a conundrum for oil traders and the wider scenario in general. you had theand, majority of analysts saying that i did not think there would be an agreement, and even if there was, it would not make much of a difference. on the other hand, you had a stronger oil price. either the weight of money in the market is agreed with analysts, or possibly, and more likely, the market had not been about the doha meeting. it has been about an underlying improvement. the doha meeting was just a bit of a froth on the top. thatl be interested to see

equity and oil markets have had a limited reaction today. we might see a little bit of a pullback today, but continued to wash around these high levels we have established in recent weeks. thank you so much. i appreciate your insight. >> these of the stories making headlines around the world. story at aping brazil, live pictures there as lawmakers are on the verge of impeaching the president. the lower house is voting now, and then the motion goes to the senate. made a last-ditch appeal for support a head of the vote, having lost most of her allies in several members of her coalition government. the number of people killed and 246.or has risen to strucknitude 7.8 tremor

the saudi arabians had said there would be no deal without consensus, without the presence of iran, so effectively any hopes of a deal was dead in the water. dead and the water, so what is next for oil? in june, also possible production free stocks, russians say possibly in october now, so what is next? these talks will not do much to affect supply and demand, two of the main champions of a potential freeze, russia and iraq, already producing close to record levels. for the time being, there is another issue that the markets may be overlooking, and this is the worker dispute in kuwait, opec's fourth biggest producer. production has declined by almost 60%, a significant drop in production, potentially a

much bigger deal. at the moment, the market is focused on the failure to reach an accord in doha. it does send a clear message to the market, and that is that global oil producers are unable to reach consensus, unable to have a concerted effort to address the prices. it is each country itself. but does meet in june, until then, it is effectively each country for itself. less optimism heading into those meetings as well. thank you so much. clearly not the best day to are then oil, so where best bets piling up at the moment? david is standing by the bloomberg. looking at the oil market and how it is trading at the moment. these harris bets are piling up. whenll get a better idea

downtrends. when you have rising oil prices, that would turn a little bit higher. very cool function. let's have a look as far as the oil prices concern. it is a fibonacci retracement to win prices collapsed in 2014. if we did have a deal, that would have nudged the price above the next level. obviously, we are further than that at the moment. analysts are saying the price match the go, one of them thanks that we could see a knee-jerk reaction down to 30. that was one of the stories this morning as well.

seeing is declines in oil sending the yen to a 17-month high, and that is really pressuring japanese stocks. it is a bit of a double whammy. it is not just energy down, but you are seeing all sectors. yeah, is this just a knee-jerk reaction? what can we expect, continuing to weigh on japanese stocks? is probably not what investors want to be seen. trying tohas been crawl back from declines earlier this year. while most other indexes across the globe are recovering from is stillnes, the topix down 14% because of the yen. while it is a story about oil, it's also so much about the yen,

too. we are getting into earnings season and that could help turn things around, but with the problems with oil and the yen weighing on stocks, it may be a tough fight. and yen, a double win me, also a triple when me for japan with this earthquake. how much of a factor has this disaster been? >> that's right. that is a huge factor today. it is very hard to distinguish what it is, how much each of these things is affecting the market. if you take something like to yota, it is greatly affected by the movements in the yen. so the oil developments are affecting toyota, but also the closing of the plant. if you are talking about a double whammy, toyota also gets

to air his grievances, if you will, saying that this is bias in these downgrades to china sovereign debt outlook because he says china's sovereign debt has historically performed better than what s&p and moody's is giving it credit for. gdplso points to the strong growth numbers that have just come through on friday, saying 6.7% as well within the toernment's target of 6.5% 7%, and it is still strong growth. that topline number coming down as double-digit growth as recent as 2015, but is pointing to that saying 6.7% is nothing to be scoffed at. of course, that's not necessarily what the credit rating agencies are most worried about. they are worried about the structure drag of china's debt to ddp soared from 164% in 2008 two a must to 50% last year. servicing that debt is a third of gdp, and that is if principal
