2:32 am
ms.. -- first world news. reporter: brazilian lawmakers have voted to impeach president dilma rousseff. the opposition achieved the 2/3 majority it needed to move the process on to the senate. there, a simple majority would see rousseff suspended as she faces an impeachment trial. hisge osborne will ramp up campaign to keep britain in the european union today. the chancellor will highlight a treasury report that shows an exit will cause permanent damage to the economy due to lower trade and investment. that he says, will cut government income. meanwhile, the french economy minister says leaving the eu would weaken its power within the world. he will attempt to persuade

2:34 am
the saudi's refused to limit supply without a commitment from iran. we are joined now by our middle east editor in doha. blockbuster thwalk us through te action, elliott. reporter: we knew there was going to be one of two outcomes, deal or no deal. no deal seems to be the more likely outcome. saturday night came and it seemed an agreement had been reached. they were all on board, but then alexander novak, the russian oil minister, says some countries changed their position right before the meeting. th it was confirmed that the gulf countries that changed their position. although, he refused to pin the blame on the iranians.
2:35 am
>> i think we haven't reached those expectations we had when we prepared this meeting. iran did not participate in the discussions today. this is a position of the largest producer, saudi arabia. they think all opec leaders should participate in this meeting. iran is trying to regain the market share it lost while under sanctions. 's position seemed as entrenched ran's position seemed as entrenched as the saudi's. guy: what happens now? >> it is not completely off the table. they want talks to continue.
2:36 am
omani oil minister says he has good relations with both countries. he has acted like a mediator. talks will continue up until june 2. in the meantime, we will see iran continuing to pump out before million barrels a day. -- pump out 4 million barrels a day., presumably, we will see a continuation of the volatility in oil prices as well. let us not forget, there are financial consequences to this, given the slump. we have seen these oil-producing countries spend $3 billion worth of the reserves because of the lack of money they have been receiving from the sale of oil.
2:37 am
that is something that will presumably continue as long as oil prices remain volatile. from here, where we go will have to wait and see what producing countries say. guy: great stuff, thank you elliott. doha.t joined us from we don't have a deal. story.l" seems to be the the market though, in anticipation of the deal, has been ramping up in the last few months. you can see this really clearly on the bloomberg. the otop orange line is the current curve and this takes you all the way to 2022. and this is where we were three months back. you can see this at the front end of the brent curve. that is the speculative money
2:38 am
coming into this area. we do not see it toward the back end. you can see how quickly some of this money will be unwinding out of the oil. let's get a sense of where we are with this oil market, where the reaction function will take us next. joining us now is our guest for the next 45 minutes, the global head of equity trading strategies. states lastthe week. what are you hearing from investors? >> going into last week it did seem like we were stretching to the outside. we have seen some technical shorts, which will be heavy this morning. the bigger question is, stepping back, and you are showing it on the world was very worried.
2:39 am
the fact that we are coming in probably gives a buying opportunity because the back end should remain elated with a lot of these apply being taken out. of the supply being taken out. guy: we know that the exposure is massive. we know that there are shale guys out there suffering. when i look at the derivative effect of this, i look at the banks. >> i guess the volatility will continue to drive them to some extent. re seems to be some support on the way down. this should give some breathing room to some extent. guy: what would you expect to happen? marketstrength of the
2:40 am
banks.en by minorers can me expect to some consolidation to some extent? yes. guy: if i am looking at this curve i will say, you know what, at 2020 or 2019, the price is much more elevated from where we are now. we are trading up towards $50. i am pretty comfortable with that. how are the majors going to be feeling about what just happened? >> as long as the back end does not move, they will be ok. it is more of a question of, is a credible to use $50 as the back end? this weekend will not be a positive for the back end, but it will not be enough of a negative to bring it all the way back down. we have to look at the volatility in the energy sector and its relation to the market. there is still some risk in the
2:41 am
future, and the market has failed to price that in. yes, it is really think very well. it is not trading as big a premium you could argue for, given some of the risks. guy: he is going to stay with us. we are going to discuss what is happening in brazil, the president hanging by a thread after legislation passed an impeachment. is dilma's presidency now doomed? we ask that question, next. ♪

[shouting] jonathan: as you can hear, the operation broke into cheers.
2:46 am
our reporter has been watching developments and joins us now. what next? is dilma doomed in terms of what the story looks like and how it is going to unfold? reporter: it does not look good for her. a could be as little as 15 days before she is at least temporarily pushed out of office. from here, the issue passes to the senate. wina's opponents need tow a simple majority in the senate to start the full impeachment proceedings, which would trigger her suspension. 46 of the 81 senators are already saying they will vote in favor of the impeachment, with just 20 saying they will vote against it. at this stage of the game, it looks like it will take something extraordinary if dil'' is going to hang
2:47 am
onto her job. guy: what is the expectation? what are you hearing from market bankers? reporter: it is not start trading for a few good hours yet. we have been looking at an etf of brazilian stocks, which was up 3.7% this morning. there is also a few securities that are thinly traded. we could see a day of fairly strong rallies on the back of this vote. u very muchyou there to muc indeed. metcalfe is still with us. the chart is kind of amazing. if you look at the chart, we see this amazing rally coming up in
2:48 am
the other direction. we have talked about this on the show many times. the market maybe has a little bit less left in it. reporter: we would agree with that. this is obviously going the way the market expected, but the ris ks are still there. she is not especially liked in the country. up 40% in a very short period of time. can we push on a little bit further? maybe. what are the critical factors the market will look for? is it the political landscape? is the understanding what happens in terms of the legal
2:49 am
area? reporter: the next 15 days will be very important. the process has begun. beyond that, what does the impeachment might skip look like? is the big news in the context of several years in brazil, yes. is a good in the medium-term, absolutely. guy: part of this move, though, is down to the fact that we saw a rally. taking us back to the oil story, maybe we have run out of road on that as well. >> the dollar is going down. it seems to be correlated, as we are noticing verevery day. we have priced in so much. the big question will be the dollar. when will the fed hike?
2:50 am
for the next few months, it looks as long as we are holding onto the currency level, markets should be ok in general. guy: so, the em trade is still on? cheapwas the undervalued, part of the market. everybody expected the dollar to go up this year. we are seeing this recycling. we have seen inflows back into the yen. versus some of the countries, it looks like brazil has gone through it. therefore, we are a little bit ahead. on: we are going to carry the conversation and talk about the european equity market open. we are now nine minutes away from the market open. up next, we look at some of the
2:53 am
2:54 am
apple is asking its suppliers to keep production limited at the reduced levels. iphone 6 is selling as well as could have been helped. this is all being reported by the nikkei at the moment. they arener of chips, going to be one to watch. as is a&m. so, watch all of these suppliers. we have seen calls for 2% to 3% lower. also watch imagination technologies as well. so many out there are likely to be hit by the fact that apple is not doing as well with it iphone sales. this one could pop up 2% to 3% because of the potential bid that was put on ice in january. they were likely to to be working together. january, they were
2:55 am
looking at a deal. they got a thumbs up from the takeover panel in the u.k.. they were looking at 6 billion pounds. sainsbury started looking at the home retail group back in january. the sales then looks to be rallying. maybe that little bit more expense. but 6 billion pounds was the price tag and after those reports, it looks like things could be up a bit in the trading. guy: caroline hyde, walking us through some of the stocks we need to be watching. i suspect we will see some action in the oil areas this morning. let me take you to what is happening with the terminal this morning. this is the fair value calculation. the ftse 100 is down by .9%. it looks like the cac will soften up to the tune of 1.9%.
2:56 am
2:59 am
manus: good morning and welcome. we are right here in the city of london, moments away from the start of european trading. it's going to be a busy one. oil output down, talks between major producers without an agreement, sending futures tumbling. how much more selling is still to come? dilma done? impeachment process moves on to o the senate. and the brexit battle begins in earnest. chancellor george osborne is claiming that the economy will shrink by 6% with an exit.
3:00 am
what is the number based on? let's talk about where we stand. futures point to a negative start for the day; looks like the markets will be down. i suspect it will be an oil-focused morning. here's the open with caroline hyde. all-encompassing in asia trading, likely to see europe drag lower as well. no deal done in doha. clearly the saudi arabians are cautioning that, wanting to see other producers like iran step up to the plate. they do not to give away their market share. this is tugging down equities across the board, particularly energy-related stocks, ftse up. shello have miners and among the big underperformers today. similar moves in the cac, down on the open. not one single stock is rising. totale among key
3:01 am
losers. watch out for miners and oil companies. some of the biggest selloff in two months in the oil market as that depression sets in, marked by sub $40. we are seeing the fx repercussions, using the canadian dollar. u.s. dollar goes higher, canadian dollar goes lower. on flipside, we see buyers move into the havens. u.s. dollars higher in the yanis strengthening. yen, oncee on the again over performing, getting stronger, because of oil and the risk aversion, but also because of what jack lew has been saying over the weekend. is an orderly fx market -- don't do anything to intervene to weaken it. soey is coming out of gold, money into the human. let's have a look at the stock
3:02 am
market, because i want to keep an eye on bp. 3%, as we see concerned that the supply glut is not going anywhere, thanks to the other big producers. the suppliers of apple are going to be selling off today, concerned that apple is asking suppliers to keep supply reduced. what is the iphone 6 doing in terms of sales? and we got news over the weekend the investment authority and brookfield are eyeing a 6 billion pound offer back in january. guy: thank you very much. let's repeat a little bit and show you what is going on in terms of its equity selloff in the energy sector. the sectors here at the bottom of the bloomberg map. 3.70%. we just want to get an idea of the size of the slice we are
3:03 am
talking about. that is it on the pie chart their. offncials are also selling as a result of what's happening, the material sector also weakening. a number of major sectors on the downside. i want to shave his other chart as well, which is what's happening with the russian ruble, which has vanished a little bit. is getting ruble crash this morning as a result. the fact that these talks have not gone anywhere, we know what that correlation looks like. the russian ruble very much under pressure. let me see if i can bring you that chart. dollarthe russian ruble, versus ruble with the dollar going higher. a fairly significant move as the russians come under pressure. grew down. ocash
3:04 am
-- crude down. refusingremains iran, to limit supply without a commitment. let's bring in our chief oil analyst. good morning. -- front-end of the markets it has moved an awful long way in three months. how much of that is going to be priced out? where is screwed going to? the very short-term, you will see prices go just below $40, but then again you have so many unplanned disruptions -- nigeria, in his -- izuela, kuwait think that is limiting the downside. but in terms of sentiment, the lack of the deal is very negative. i wouldn't be surprised if you do see a sub $40 oil this week. -- iis this idea of a free
3:05 am
know we have talks on resolving it today in yemen and elsewhere, but nevertheless there is a geopolitical pressure. maybe we were getting to ahead of ourselves in terms of anticipating a deal. >> oh, absolutely. from a fundamental analyst point of view, these talks make absolutely no difference to balances, because freezing out that i january levels, where they were producing at maximum in any case, how does it change balances? all these producers are starting to lose production everywhere the world. latin america, asia. abouts much more sentiment and that is why you are seeing so much volatility. i couldn't agree more; i think we can't get to ahead of ourselves the cousin of the producers are showing documents and talking to the media, talking about how it's a done deal. wonarguably, politics
3:06 am
it was way too bigger hurdles overcome. . . guy: this out is -- are they getting close to winning the war with u.s. shale? we have seen the story, watch to the counter as the rains come out of the market. all of the hard work may have been for naught. it ise, but equally, slightly more subtle than that in the sense that saudi arabia wasn't keen on getting prices up to quickly. the key for this meeting was that it also didn't want to negative sentiment spiral that would send prices back to the 20's. that is the balance it was trying to strike. they were trying to come up with a positive statement, and i think that clearly failed. but equally, i would say goes beyond shale. shale production is falling but if you look at the other numbers coming out, non-opec supplies fell by 700,000 barrels per day in march, potentially about to
quote
3:07 am
decline by one million barrels. nigeria, venezuela, angola, they are all falling. opec production has also fallen over the last two months. guy: they give very much for your early thoughts in this conversation. i just want to say that the energy sector is down by 3.5% as a result of what we are seeing; unsurprising given that oil is significantly lower. let's bring more voices into the conversation. bloomberg's first word oil strategy julian lee joining us from citigroup. good morning. walk us through what is the story behind this? what's going on? >> i think the fundamental story behind the story is that for 40 years saudi arabia has subsidized high cost oil producers by restricting its own output to keep the price of oil well above the cost of extraction. a year-and-a-half ago, in a global environment where oil is
3:08 am
becoming less and less attractive in the longer term to consumers, saudi arabia turned around and said this policy has to change. --s is a fundamental shift it goes well beyond saudi arabia and iran, well beyond u.s. shale. shift in fundamental the way saudi arabia looks at the oil business in its place in it. -- ais a saudi policy low-cost production comes first -- guy: but how to the market misread this story so massively? >> i think the market got taken up with this narrative of u.s. shale and saudi production. they got taken up with the narrative of saudi arabia and iran. do, it looked in a short-term way -- it didn't step back and take this 40, 50 year
3:09 am
view. guy: julian brings up the issue of iran, amarita, showing cost of production in what's happening there. goes the world now look like it will -- does the world's now look like it will only be feasible for those with incredibly low cost of production? some of these countries can produce oil at levels that are barely above zero. and i doabsolutely, agree broadly with julian in terms of what he thinks. saudi arabia doesn't run oil prices to go up too much, but that also doesn't mean they won't price it at $40. i think there is a bit of an in-between. they probably like a between $70 and $80, which is where consumers and producers are happy. that the sweet spot where the cost of production in the middle east -- they also have social costs to fund that, it is not too high that it encourages ultradeep order production.
3:10 am
that is the kind of balance you're trying to get, and clearly you won't get the expense of oil at these prices. i today's prices it is mostly still underwater. guy: another tangential question. much of the surrounding demand destruction, and the fact that the saudi's are viewing the world in a different way. if you look at industries that would benefit from oil, $70, $80, $90, and look at a shift that take place -- and looks like it will happen because the technology and various other factors. as the flipside? -- what is the flipside? >> oil going lower, which would be seen as good for consumers and so on. we see some resilience in the consumers, their foyer oil went back up don't think we would retail reprice -- would be hurt, transport would
3:11 am
be hurt. that said, it is still very unlikely that we will be capped on the way back up. if you start going up too much, shale production will come back. now,r $40 is good for probably the best of both worlds for producers and consumers. guy: julian, when we look at the set up now, what does the world look like? if we got overexcited about this and we are back to the base case before we started talking about doha, is that a long-term story we are looking at? if you take a look at the crude curve, which christ back up to $70 or $80, and i can show you on the bloomberg, this is the print forward curve. you go out to 2020, we get up to the 50's and we stay there. is that the right pricing? has the market got the backend right? firstly,l all depend,
3:12 am
on how quickly high cost oil continues to come out of the market, and i completely agree, this goes beyond shale. this ist the north sea, the new project that haven't been sanctioned by the oil companies. think, trying to find a price level at which shale oil producers start to come back into the market. is that $50, $70-$80? we don't know because he haven't tested it yet. but this is about a fundamental, long-term rebalancing in favor of low-cost production, predominantly the middle east. guy: right. concur with that, amarita? i'm questioning the market's ability to forecast prices. >> i absolutely agree. the one thing i will say about the forward curve is i think it
3:13 am
is grossly underestimated. we are losing so muchbut this ia production, and well we all think it will be a slower recovery, equally, a lot of analysts didn't see that coming as well. i sense of the market today that there is so much complacency about, oh we are the $30 environment. i generally think there is a spike coming. it was going to last, the we have identified 6.5 million barrels for projects that have been postponed. it will happen very quickly and shale will respond, but how quickly can they respond? that is when the risk that we spike higher. than before we fall back to. guy: linda yueh anticipated happening? -- when do you anticipate that happening? >> i think 2019 is a very likely time to get a supply squeeze. guy: thank you very much. thanks to julian lee and dan senh.rita
3:14 am
let me show you the oil majors. 2.5%.off, down to the sector, by at large is suffering. next, one of the most beloved markets in europe, but why is the tide turning? why strategists are turning bearish on the dax. that story, next. the brandenburg looking fabulous. the weather in london looking not bad either. see you in a moment. ♪

a short time. , it had almost 20 and a big chunk of this story was that germany is the industrial powerhouse of europe. with draghi unleashing all these measures to boost growth, people climbed into the dax in german equities thinking that if the recovery will take hold it will be in germany where we want to be. obviously you have that big euros story -- a huge slump in the euro and a lot of companies are exporting these. that is why people love german equities during the euro crisis because all these companies -- in the first quarter, the euro rose against the dollar, the biggest gain for the year, so we
3:21 am
have a lot of that story online. if you get china slowing down, that's a double whammy. you don't want to be in germany and there are more interesting places to the. qbspecifically on germany, in general on a global basis is moving away from just race to the bottom. obvious -- for us playing domestic recovery in europe, maybe pay more attention to the periphery, where most of the key we will take place through credit easing and so one. . -- we saw huge activity last summer mainly driven by the dollar and these assets were accumulated last year and are now starting to unwind. it is not about your weakness anymore -- we are seeing a
3:22 am
familiar selling pressure in germany. guy: you just got back from the states. all i take for those guys to start putting money to work in germany? >> i would guess two. things. a catalyst for not investing for now, more importantly it is more about when you stop getting solid performance in europe, when they will have to come and bite. so far europe in the u.s. have been a bit of a wash with equity see thisnd until we dollar strength showing up, you were unlikely to see a big impulse. guy: thank you very much. it has been a great pleasure. thank you for spending so much time with us. up next, it's time for our chart of the hour.

3:35 am
political instability. they are beingd, investigated for different one in the most present -- improperction campaign financing. if the see is that president is eventually outed on the impeachment process, at the end the party will have a very difficult negotiation with all the conditions part of the brazilian congress. initially, there will be some momentum and support, the ones they start implementing, it will be difficult for them to maintain because they have never been in power. the program they proposed is a is verythat fails -- it difficult to deal with the

3:44 am
numbers,e with these but the chancellor is taking it off the doorstep and trying to make it clear the economic impact. >> absolutely. the thing to remember is that they are always worked by the uncertainty. you can use any model to come up with a variety of different he will throw this number around like it is fact that there is a lot of uncertainty. it is possible that we will be worse off in the aftermath, but it's a longer term estimate he is putting off. , in 30 yearsbout time, this is how much worse off it will be. with these models, the big thing to remember is that you have to make an assumption about what will be happening when we aren't in the eu. -- itperfectly possible
3:45 am
is possible that it won't, and that the chancellor is going to come out with this big number. guy: you have to look at the distribution of outcomes. the most positive outcome, the most negative -- presumably, that is the spread he is talking about. presumably, this is the worst-case scenario, if we can figure it out. >> yes and no. this estimate is if we try and replicate what canada's negotiation's -- to try and in some way replicate what we got with the eu by renegotiating. giveuestion is will the eu us a good deal in my feeling is probably not because they will set a precedent. you haven't got any sort of interest.
