much holiday. it has not been this bad. it is less elegant then your chart but it shows the same. productivity expected to decline. it has not been this bad since 1993. let's get to ubs wealth management investment strategist. great to have you on the program. tom makes an interesting point. i was doing a cheap dig. what this productivity shows you is that because of this, because wagebor, because of growth, because of inequality we now have much more uncertainty in the political world. and inequality is not going to get better anytime soon. >> and that has been -- causing a lot of the political and certainty. clients are starting to look --ards the second european but long-term political risk and

how that impacts policy. look at how germany criticize the ecb. these issues are not going to go away anytime soon. francine: how do you deal with them from a market perspective? do you get back into cash? rey: that is something our clients are more inclined to do in the wealth management space. again, having a balanced approach is right. our cash allocation is always around 5%. there are opportunities. it depends on your approach. going to private markets, for example. or alternative markets that insulate you from the initial volatility spikes. but these are things we are looking up. tom: good morning. yesterday was quite an exciting day. let's bring up the yen chart. this is off the aussie rate cut yesterday. bank of japan, down we go. we are almost down to standard deviations of yen strength. who is the cart and who is the cart?
5:08 am
is it the currency market driving policy or the other way around? started: i think it with the currency market driving policy. i think you have to go back to february where they cut to thetive and two days later, markets went the other way to i think the boj in not acting we silly, they are making a big bet on the u.s. dollar recovering. dollar-yen will go higher because of a stronger u.s. this goes back to research from years ago. when we look at the renminbi the management out of beijing within a floating rate regime. they are trying to move that line from the lower left to the upper right. a wekaker renminbi. will they be successful? ffrey: we are looking at a slight shift higher towards, not toward seven but i think they will be successful in balancing

5:14 am
>> the key question this morning, we saw a win last night by bernie sanders. we want to be clear that hillary clinton's people were saying that they may see a loss in indiana. we have a situation now where we of the republican nominee is set. we have a democratic race where he potentially inflict damage on her. tom: who is the adult and the democratic room? is it secretary kerry? i doubt it. who sits the senator from vermont down and says, this election could be closer if you don't grow up and get out of the race? >> i do not think the democratic toty, the warren wing, wants really inflict damage on what they see in this election which is these surge of voters coming into the party. tom: what are they going to do, vote for mr. trump? >> or stay on the sidelines. bernie like to talk about $27
5:15 am
but that is a huge amount of enthusiasm and money that they do not want to jeopardize of sort of having this at all going on. whether anyone sits down with bernie sanders and says, you need to withdraw for the good of the party, i do not think we are in that situation. i do not think we have gone to the name-calling level. i think the party would be wise to look at the lexus coming out of what they learned and push or even further left on wall street. is this bernie sanders campaign and during or does it tell us that mrs. clinton is mistrusted amongst voters? >> what you see from the campaign is that hillary clinton is just a weak candidate and exposed on several levels. number one being her trustworthiness with voters and her appeal among certain coverts of the voting bloc. very strong and minorities. she will win going forward but she needs to shore up her support among the white working-class voters.
5:16 am
in particular, she needs to shore up her support and continued to shore up her support among women which has been a mixed variable throughout the cycle. francine: how does donald trump amanda berry fractured republican party? >> whether or not he can mend it is a key question going forward. you have elites who are puzzled, angry. i think everyone sits in th party elitee sits in true disbelief where he has the nomination locked up. but there are serious fractions to heal. even as recently, we had ted cruz, a person who is a serial philanderer and putting in place the war of words we have not seen. her want to when the video again. -- tom: come on. the president runs with the assistance of his first lady. you have the trumps with the

5:18 am
are telling them, be more presidential, stop saying the crazy things such as ted cruz's with leeing associated harvey oswald. we cannot forget that has been a huge part of what has driven people who are so frustrated with washington, so frustrated with the media and people like me to back him. vonnie: no one is frustrated with you. francine: i know it is quite difficult to look at the political fallout from any of this, except to look at from an isolationist point of view. if you had trump for president, what happens to america? geoffrey: the trade angle is very important right up. it is not just trump. on both sides. the rhetoric. inequality, free trade. hasn't benefited everyone. in asia, in particular where i would say it is more pro free trade compared to what we are seeing in your. japan, in particular, -- they

5:24 am
try to prepare the markets for at least a realistic range of possibilities. the problem is at the moment fed funds futures are pricing in only a 12% chance of a fed move. andlockhart and williams other fed officials i have been speaking to say that is way too low. have two fedou official saying markets, you are mispricing it. although, john williams then said a lot can happen in the next months and a half. is the market mispricing? should rethink think more about june as a possibility? remember there is brexit. we are not over concerns on china. isffrey: i think 12%, adequate right now. they will never rule anything out. draghi will say we will never pre-commit.
5:25 am
prepare for a range of possibilities and anything can happen. you cannot pinpoint. sometimes you can just say -- right now i do not think it is a live meeting. tom: y2k. michael mckee, you have got to be kidding me. they are going to raise rates 8 days before brexit. mike: the polls suggest the brits are about to vote to leave the european union, then they may put it off, and september becomes the live meeting. but at this point, if the polls are to be believed and the brits are voting to stay in and the economy develops -- we get the 200,000 jobs we are forecasting, they want to go in june. tom: i want to rip up the script. productivity, how big of a thing is it? all of a sudden productivity matters. mike: it has mattered for quite a while. they do not know why it is not

5:32 am
joins us on set today to we continue with ubs wealth management geoffrey yu. everything devolves down to this experiment of negative interest rates. you and professor rogoff had a lovely debate about negative interest rates. what is the key distinction viewers need to know about whether negative rates will work? dr. posen: the key distinction is twofold. first, is it a big economy with a lot of -- tom: japan, u.s., not denmark? dr. posen: not singapore, not switzerland, where the capital flows are not a big story. the second thing to think about negative rates is how credible is it that you can go a long way? we try to rationalize what governor kuroda did last week at the bank of japan, not doing anything. that people start worrying you can only go so far
5:33 am
with things. tom: let's look at thing so far. let's bring up the two year negative rate in germany, leading the way in open economy. we're not near record lows but we are lower for longer. right now. yu what is the chronic nature of negative rates mean for our global financial system? geoffrey: right now it is just, what we hope to see globally with negative rates is this portfolio rebalancing effect. it really has not even happen. we are talking to her own clients trying to convince them to move out of high grade and into riskier assets. it's proving difficult right up. it is not that they do not buy the fundamental arguments. they are so worried about the uncertainty with brexit and the .su.s. elections. every three months they see another risk. and unless we achieve velocity, i think that preference is going to -- francine: when you look at
5:34 am
european banks, ubs's wealth management unit, commerzbank consumer lending, record low interest rates and while the market swings are not helping them. and there is no end in sight in the erosion that european bank profits. it's also i think important to recognize in terms of banks and the risks geoffre : was talking about, these are long-term things. these are not just, all of a sudden the ecb went to -25. as the imf pointed out a year ago, the business model for most european banks is unsound. there are only a few that are making it. that is less true in the u.s. but there is still an issue that you cannot make money just doing normal banking, at least not very high profits. more importantly, we live in a world where the new normal is the new mediocre. in the new mediocre you are not going to be getting away from these negative rates. it is less about geoffrey's
5:35 am
clients -- go ahead. francine: i understand christine lagarde has been talking about the new mediocre but it feels like it has shifted from the new mediocre to a darn difficult environment. that is morethink a question of certain industries talking their books and people making excuses rather than adapting. last time you had me on, we talked about this. it's a sustainable growth rate now. these countries, including much of western europe, it is not debt fueled growth, it is not fiscal field, it is sustainable, low growth. tom: what we are is the second derivative action. the idea of trichet's brutal moves. we had euro -dollar yesterday, the shock and off austro you could this morning, michael mckee mentioning emerging-market currencies are weak. is sense of our viewers
5:36 am
these exogenous events going on. should policymakers be aware of those are should they have blinders on looking at their narrow interest? dr. posen: i think they should be aware of those at that is different from saying they should react quickly to those. there are two problems with the fed, for example. reacting to the emerging market currency weakness. inherently sot's volatile you do not want to be joking around your macro economic planning and making more uncertainty. this is why i don't like fed atlanta doing now casting. tom: isn't the peterson is to going to hourly now testing of gdp? ecbposen: the fed and the have mandates, their own economy. under acute political pressure on central banks, suicidal for them to pretend they do not care first about their own economies. francine: geoffrey believes that the fed's june meeting will not
5:37 am
be live. do you see diversions among central-bank starting in june and july? dr. posen: i believe the june meeting is very live. i think john lawyers, th -- john williams, is the median voter on the median ofs the fmoc. this is, when you have job growth as mike mckee was discussing before the break of you000 a month, unless believe the phillips curve system is broken, you will want to raise rates. tom: a question for you as a member of the city. why is wall street so lethargic right now? is it adam posen's fault? is the policy making machine so confused that there is so much uncertainty that wall street is fixated and thus lethargic? geoffrey: i think it is less to do with this side or the sell
5:38 am
side if you're asking about trading, activity and revenues. i think it is one thing on the part of investors, private, institutional. they have been chopped around in january and february and suddenly seeing a pick up. are they willing to extend their interest and risk based on what they've seen over the past few weeks? look at the rba, how they dismissed the china pickup altogether. it's not sustainable. we need to rebalance her own economy. they cut rates. that mood is prevailing. francine: thank you for joining us today. adam posen stays with us. coming up, we will talk with adidas ceo herbert hainer at 6:30 in new york. this is -- this transatlantic show sometimes does that work. i do not know how to pronounce adidas anymore. ♪

unexpected improvement in profit. french banks, i would not overstated, it is maybe not a lot better than better -- but better than the continental ones or the swiss banks because they are much more focused on retail. >> right. each of them up had a little bit but one-off type of feel they are significantly outperforming. to see profit rise is a rarity among the european banks right now. and the french are showing that. francine: overall, will they have to cut costs like the rest of them? , evenl: even soc gen though they beat, they talked about cost-cutting, especially at the investment bank. you know, that has been a consistent theme. faster cost cuts that we have seen in a while, investors are still calling for more because the revenue droppe d. tom: you are an anglo-saxon kind of guy. are the european banks becoming more anglo-saxon? michael: if by that, you mean
5:43 am
very austere, then perhaps, yes. we have justknow, seen, you know, this is the only lever they have right now. and i think that you know, you saw yesterday, we had four banks report. they had 16 operating divisions and revenue fell in 15 of the 16 . so, it's really a cross the board, every business is getting hit right now. and when you're facing that, you have to cut costs. francine: i like that. more anglo-saxon. that'll make them more efficient, eh? tom: michael moore, great perspective. he is with bloomberg news london. we continue with adam posen linking in finance. come on. this is a search for nominal gdp. should i focus on the real economy of europe or do i focus on the inflation dynamics? dr. rosen: in europe and the u.s. you have the luxury of focusing on nominal gdp.
5:44 am
excuse me, the focus on real gdp. the debt situation is not a crisis like japan and because you're not in deflation. i think focusing on real what is going on with productivity is what counts. i understand why the ecb has to focus on nominal, but i actually think that is less important. tom: what is the posen peterson and hi institute presumption? it has been years and years, do something. nothing is happening. do somen: the two things is first recognize that growth is not so bad in europe now. second, you want to look at using the migration crisis is away a few of -- of unifying europe, issuing great bonds, trying to go forward. and third, build on that. this is something jacob blanchard and i are working on. the idea of using carrots not sticks. you can have more flexibility if you do structural reform.
5:45 am
we are trying to figure out ways to move that forward. the finance minister from the netherlands, and the finance minister from natalie spoke -- from italy spoke on this topic a couple weeks ago. tom: that was a pose shameless plugn. francine: he is also one of the most optimistic economists we have been speaking to on your. yet, we look at what the e.u. said yesterday in terms of inflation forecast and you listen to what they say on budgets in a lot of these countries that they cannot -- it makes me worry. even working? is working..e. it is working in the ways you would expect. it is moving interest rates. within industries and within country's birth the problem is just as in the u.s. and just as in japan, the low interest rates are not translating to be corporate investment. that is why there is the younger

-- the juncker plan in it stead. francine: yesterday we had t from australia. is there exceptions when it comes to stimulus or monetary policy action it is working banks in asia of r central in the asian region are more comfortable to experiment? dr. posen: we can go back to the asian financial crisis, 1997 -1998, where hong kong was intervening in equity markets which turned out to be a good example for now. even though it is politically unpopular. we know on the macro prudential side, what the asian finance and central banks have been more aggressive. reserve bank of australia, has always been more on front -- out front. side tohere is a real this. australia has a real rebalancing problem because

6:05 am
look at container ships. if you look at the white line here, the container benchmark rate has been dropping with brent oil. this indicates that the trade is grinding to a halt, as you put it. tom: a beautiful way to introduce our next guest. ourre thrilled to continue discussion after adam posen with the peterson institute, with 'slliam lee from willem buiter citigroup. the chart francine showed goes right to the heart of the matter. economy, 1936, various shades of closed economy. there are no close economies anymore. in this new globalization, everything is an open economy. >> one thing that is notable from that chart is the emerging market growth model is busted,
6:06 am
because emerging markets for theuet -- for decades -- advanced economies slow to the point they can no longer do that. they need domestic demand. also because it is a case-by-case. there are some emerging markets doing well, others that are not. tom: our history tells us from the 1990's when you have a busted emerging market, you have sequential moments. where are we in that continuum? william: we are in that structural phase were some countries like china are readjusting. anytime you move, you're not going to move along the frontier. come out.in, they a lot of these emerging markets do not have transparency, so we do not know what is going on there. we have no transparency into the private sector. the only thing we know is gasoline is up. francine: are you talking about china specifically?
6:07 am
for the other emerging markets we have data that we have always been led to believe that i can trust them. the model that is busted, around the world people are becoming more isolationist, and currency wars are alive. william: it is without a doubt that politics have come into play. the one thing that is sure is there are going to be winners and losers, and it is the internal politics of the countries, where they do not have strong micro-foundations. they do not have strong social institutions, political stability. that is when you find , disrupting not just the trade with dealings with the rest of the world, but also disrupting internal dynamics. francine: will china not win this? the leadershipk is trying its best. a lot of leadership are the guys from m.i.t. who got a's. but the political leadership has technocrats on

bernie heard what happens here? unfavorablesk the are something that you can dismissed or the has a 75% unfavorable rating and he just blew the ball out of the park last night in indiana. all along thatd this is going to be a very close race. despite what the polls say, i think it will be a cliffhanger in november. francine: can donald trump amend this deeply divided, deeply acrimonious, and fractured republican party? marty: that is actually the question of the moment. can he bring the coalition of gop elites, fundraisers together to back his candidacy? an interesting issue for me will be donald trump's effectiveness as a fundraiser. he has run a populist campaign, but those 25,000 at his rallies, he has not asked them for any
6:16 am
money. it will be interesting to see how effective a fundraiser he is. tom: what will be the reaction in washington this morning to mr. sanders staying in the race? it is a shift within our 2016.cal debate, within how will democrat washington respond to mr. sanders? marty: i think they will take their cue from the front runner, hillary clinton, who has been respectful of sanders as to not alienate his base. she will need that base when the time comes in november. so i think they will be accepting of this continued pursuit of the nomination. theren is a rare chanceo that he could possibly overturnv hillary, but he is going to be in it to the end. francine: will a prolonged democratic primary hurt the party possibly eventual nominee? marty: it depends on how strident bernie sanders gets.

so far he has been relatively mild when it comes to hillary clinton. if he gets more pointed in his criticism, that could undermine her candidacy. -- bernie it, she has sanders continues to win primary races, and it does make her seem more vulnerable than you would think she would be. enker, thankch you so much. the debate will continue. most certainly, it will be refined tonight on the u.s. politics and on the election. john heilemann and mark halperin, "with all due respect," 5:00 p.m. this evening. ♪

6:22 am
future value for oil. when will that happen? skip: we think the long-term is closer to $75, $80 a barrel, but it will take a several years to get there. we still have to claw our way out of oversupply. tom: what are you most focused on at wood mackenzie right now? skip: is that demand going to hold up? so far we started off the year pretty good. there was fear going into january, in particular about china, but demand is holding up. as long as it holds to 1.2 million barrels a day, we think the rebalancing starts near the end of this year. francine: when you look at oil, four out of the six major oil companies have been expectations because they have been cutting costs. are you concerned they will not have enough investment, and then
6:23 am
the price of oil shoots through the roof? skip: the risk is at the end of the decade. we have cut $400 billion out of the investment. the concern we have is once you choose through the oversupply, will you be able to stimulate enough supply within the last couple of years so that at the end of the decade, we will see a pop? one of the things we obsess about is new term we think it is an oversupply problem. the key to us is that all of our clients say how a lasting is the supply of shale oil? you hit like the minute a 55 or 60 barrier -- tom: the responsiveness of the supply of shale oil? did i get that right? william: yes. skip: we have never seen shale oil go through a full price

6:25 am
through this process, but when we look at the forward curve, we are concerned about why doesn't the forward curve see the decline in non-opec production -- not that it is on its way, it is happening right now. it is just a matter of time of the market not wanting to get fooled again, that this time the correction is for real. we have had a couple of periods throughout late 2015 and early 2016 that the supply was going to start to bleed off, and supply ended up surging and becoming stronger than we thought. the market is not getting credit for that yet. tom: short-term and technical may be away from your competency. where is oil right now? is anybody -- is everybody long on oil? skip: that is what we are seeing. we see that happening in the future as well. tom: skip york, thank you so much. -- vonnie francine: i was just wondering
