let's bring in our guest, nicholas gartside. will you look at this from your asset class perspective? how much are you dictating the buying or selling? nicholas: if you think of things like high-yield in the u.s., oil has been a massive driver of that, in terms of some of the investment. there been downgrades from some of the big components, really because of what has happened to oil prices. yesterday's results were great. that is what the market needs, stability when you look at oil prices and other commodity prices. oil, there are two big shocks. the first shot was a huge amount of supply. then there was a demand shock. that lack of demand. there is an equilibrium. oil around $50, that is good

3:04 am
they want inflation just beneath 2%. at the moment, it is nowhere near that. on the forecast, it is nowhere near. matt: were you surprised at that? in 2018 was the previous forecast, that remained unchanged even now we have seen some of the numbers in the core, germany specifically, rise. other member said if up the measures that they have the work already would increase inflation. nicholas: does this tug-of-war with inflation, isn't there? the reality is the increase in commodity prices will push up headline inflation, on the other side, what you have is core inflation going down across the euro zone. the net effect of that is probably to keep inflation unchanged on their projections for the other impact is lack of

3:16 am
nicholas: it does very much. there are two reasons for that post of the first is, the dollar is that safe haven and probably always will be for the foreseeable future. the second is that the dollar-based assets are very attractively yielded. in the government bond world, take every government bond in the world and rank them from high-yield to low yield, 85% yield less than a 10 year u.s. treasury. u.s. treasury and the world we live in is a high-yield in assets. caroline: what about the world of the emerging markets? puts china to one side, it's a time to be bracing yourself for these other emerging market credit plays? or, if it's still too soon with so much fx volatility? the dollar denominated bonds have lots to do. to millie attractively valued corporates and country. caroline: can you name some? nicholas: look at mexico, for
3:17 am
instance in terms of dollar denominated debt, some of the asian countries, they look really attractive in terms of the extra yield you get relative to u.s. treasury. when you look on the local side, it is an fx story. the risk there's of the dollar is a little stronger. is toughollar strong in them if they owe money u.s. dollars. there are guys here paying mortgages in the u.s. and every time the euro sinks it is like a dagger to their heart. we want to see if we going to mortgage bond securities at another occasion post-up give us a sense of where -- is it all about u.s. corporate debt as well? if you are thinking in the pickup in u.s. assets? is the sovereign area the safest
3:18 am
for what the yield is? nicholas: it depends on your starting point as an investor. if you want to have safe assets, u.s. treasuries are a real standout when you look globally in terms of the yield they offer and liquidity the offer. those are inclined to take some more risk against the corporate market. when you look at that market spreads a significantly higher than the euro zone, yields a significantly higher than the euro zone, the market is a fair bit of issuance. you have a liquid market of their. a lot of flow will probably continue to go into those dollar-based assets. demande: perhaps dollar will drive up demand and keep on hedging this. thank you very much indeed. to spot thatchart emerging market debate. -- couldsouth africa it be cuts to junk today?

spiked up to levels that are historically incredibly high. there is an enormous demand of uncertainty as businesses want to hedge outcomes. people are paying more for sterling dollar, the downside protection against the fallen sterling they are for the upside. this is definitely a volatility and uncertainty story more than anything to do with the eventual outcome. by contrast, the equity story tell you more than anything else the british companies in the ftse 100 are all big international and multinational they have more to do with the rest of the world and they do the u.k. economy at this stage. caroline: rather unfair to use the ftse 100. at the 5250,e look that is not been as volatile. 250, and it is not been

as volatile. the ftse 100 is not the entire story. other trendsn affecting equities. there is the rising commodity prices which have given miners a boost. the fact that a week sterling is good for these u.k. exporters, than the fact that investors are convinced that brexit is not going to happen. people come in the market is a brexitpricing in right now. it is in a wait and see mode. it will perhaps we may like this until we get the vote. caroline: the ftse 100 is a part of it, but not the whole story because we have other index is also being not as volatile. fx market is the pricing in a brexit right now? traders have to be responsible and hedge a certain amount of risk, but are they chauffeuring

the dead even -- showing the dead even tie we are seeing? monitor policy between the u.s. and the united states is threatening to diverge again, i don't think we'll get a rate hike in this economic cycle in the u.k., in the eu or out of the eu, that is a contrast with the fed. certainly, sterling is the weakest major g10 currency this year. fallen on the back of a weak economy, and weak economic policy. yes, uncertainty is bad. i would also add, there's a nice correlation between fx volatility in the pound. high vol is bad for the sterling. once i see the chart, it will not make me happy about the pound. matt: thanks for a much.

-- very much. meanwhile, it is jobs they today in the usa, with the mandated terms of employment and prices is in the one thing to central bank is thinking about? daniel says the brexit vote is also a big factor. brexit, there is a lot of uncertainty. there is uncertainty about the results, obviously, but there is uncertainty even as to what of a happen in the case remain vote in markets. under those circumstances it is a factor i would consider. kit, wht's get back to at do you think about the fed worrying about the brexit? they take so much flak forwarding about the chinese currency?
3:38 am
can they brought not their mandate so far beyond unemployment and inflation? fed watches markets more closely than any other fed i can remember. markets watch the fed, and the fed watches the markets. we had a meeting in july just after the eu vote, and markets have chosen to price a better and 50% chance of a move by july. a less than 50% chance in june. i guess we said if they announce at the june meeting they will have a press conference after the july meeting, who will just say that decided to wait one month to see how this vote to goes. anything else that might happen in the world. we are now used to the fed watching markets. caroline: it is interesting to throw europe into this, the center of europe which is berlin at the moment because the euro

thing really affected by the volatility we've seen with the brexit debate. how much a expecting volatility to calm? it seemed to be an initial knee-jerk reaction. policing sentiment change for the euro? kit: yeah, i think there is no doubt that if someone wants to argue if you listen to mr. cameron and say leaving the eu would be better for the u.k. economy, the u.k. leaving the eu would be bad for the european economy. is whyural conclusion europeans feel the need to be involved in the debate of a point. debate is the uncertainty in the economy is slowing. that is done now i don't agree get that back. caroline: do you agree with our that hasguest saying been slowing for 18 months? kit: peak growth is sometime

behind us. you can see that feeding through in terms of the currency. that is important. in that sense, that vote isn't important. when i wake up in three weeks time and find a what the result was, the economy is still slowing. it is not slow, but i think that is a difference to europe, which for want of a better description is trundling along. caroline: kit is staying with us, up next the former vice president of the european inmission on europe's future the event of a brexit. you will join us live. will be speaking to in the next couple of hours. charles evans taking the stage in london to weigh-in on the u.s. data on brexit. ♪

in the european union that stands for a market taste economic policy -- market-based economic policy. the only country that stands for efficient spending, for instance. and germany would be forced to e.cept a visible leading hol everyone says germany must take the lead, but the reality nobody would like to see germany be in the lead. matt: clearly, the most part of a europe. why hasn't angela merkel, previously more vocally in favor? she supports the remain camp but hasn't really been campaigning for it? have criticized her already. the whole problem was terribly underestimated in berlin. when it started, i remember a

3:49 am
majority, things must change after the date. like this.ontinue we cannot continue business like usual. it is a big mistake of the european leaders that it is totally disconnected the long that mr. cameron gave it his speech. some extremely important part and correct part in it seeing what we need to change in the european union, flexibility, subsidy, transparency. many things that can be done without changing the treaty. it did not happen. i am really afraid that the big promises mr. cameron got from his peers, these will not be sufficient to convince skeptical british voters. -- there youven't
