michael heiser joining us this morning on your final stop of the asia tour. who stands to lose the most materialize? small,chances are not but we have to take them into account. the loser will be the british economy itself because of the uncertainty combined. no one knows what will the trade relationship be with the changen union, what will in great britain after the exit. all this is unclear. staggering as are far as some studies are concerned. a one-year recession and job losses. will that happen? slow growth and a lack of investment in the

u.k., whether there is a recession, it depends on the world economy. so i would not be too dramatic on that, but there will be an element of and certainty. investors will stand on the sidelines. who will invest in the city if f they will enter the big domestic market in the european union, so that will be some reluctance and wait and see mode. george soros says it should it happen, it will be the end of the eu. like to object. i don't think this will unravel the eu. there are no countries that would think about moving out of the eu. germany would not do that. it is the biggest payer into the budget, but it would never contemplate moving out.

we think the integration in the eu is practically without alternatives given the forces of globalization, given all the problems and challenges we are facing. we need to move together. that is the view in germany. smaller countries will not move out, even the critical ones like hungary. >> if the market under underestimating risk, the ftse europeanforming counterparts as well as its counterpart in japan. remarkable, ite agree. obviously markets are optimistic that the british people will vote remain and be per medic. that is my view as well. end, they do decide on

pragmatic reasons. my hope is that they do decide to remain. become such an all-encompassing issue in the u.k. that many people will go to the ballots, and that is important for the remain camp. >> fed concerns on the other pointing to a 20% possibility of a rate increase in july. goldman sachs says that 40% chance in july with the possibility of another increase. your take on it. >> i would part with goldman sachs on that issue. >> the monthly data are volatile. the july forecast for a hike depends on whether the labor market shows better data in the until then. i expect to do so, so i would argue the fed can look for new arguments all the time to

postpone the hike. the economy is doing all right. the inflation is trending up. in theot at 2% yet definition of the fed, but things are going in the right direction. t, will wait until after brexi but it won't be looking at the election campaign and finding new reasons for postponing. >> the u.s. is looking all right. japan is not looking all right. 100 say the yen will go to by the end of the year. now?can the boj do the fed is in the driver's seat. at the fed moves, the dollar will strengthen and some of the problems of the yen will be lessened. the lesson of japan is

that these monetary policies don't influence the economy and the way you might expect. clear sign that trying to pump up economies with monetary policy and fiscal deficit spending has run its course. it does not work anymore. they should be looking for structural reforms. countries have committed to the fact that they won't devalue their currencies, but with the global economy looking weak and muted, do you see some of them may decide to devalue currencies to boost growth? do itope they don't deliberately. the policy pursued by the ecb does weaken the euro. goal as the ecb says of its policy, but is an influential transmission mechanism.

if anything is working, it is the exchange rate, so i think this is a dangerous instrument. and countriescies can use it. this is not a currency war. we should refrain from that. it that basicto conditions for growth in the economies are improved. this is what you might call supply-side reform. i have heard that in many countries, and china, supply-side reform is a big buzzword. i think this is the right way of thinking. >> we thank you for your insights. lots of risk in the global economy right now. rishaad: thank you very much indeed for that. the stories making headlines around the world. rexiteader of the eggb campaign, boris johnson, was debating ahead of the june 23 vote.

that hong kong is more efficient, productive, and better at management practices. ing kong has also improved skill levels and immigration, so congratulations to hong kong. these cities have low taxes, really good , and easy to do business, so why singapore less competitive? imd, it saysto that it's not that singapore did something wrong, it's just hard to be on top of the list. one key difference between the two is singapore's restrictions on importing foreign labor. laborlicy of boosting costs discourage companies from being reliant on foreign labor, and it's not helping its competitors. the economy is under pressure,

and the government said it will seek to tighten rules on hiring foreign professionals now. this all stems from voter unhappiness with greater competition for jobs, housing, and space on the island. now the cuts are leading to a labor shortage and a higher wage. some companies have moved to cheaper locations. rishaad: thank you very much. the race to be the most competitive city and the world there. copper prices are falling, but the world's biggest miner is not worried.

if they can produce copper at a cheaper rate, it has to come down to the bottom line. it reduces capital expenditure, operational expenditure, environmental issues as well, so overall it is positive. bhp is betting on a surgeon copper demand. the amount of copper for wind turbines and solar panels is up to 12 times more than traditional means of energy generation. rishaad: base metals have dan a tough place to be for the past few years, but there are signs that the worst could be behind is. great to see you. not suggesting that we will see a sharp and robust rebound here. perhaps it should be steady as it goes as we leave the bottom

behind us? >> absolutely. think the key aspect as far as the days metals complex is concerned over the last few years as you highlighted is that we have been faced with a situation of declining prices. that situation has been tied in with an excess of supply over the previous decade. we saw significant capacity expansions, new mines brought on stream, often times not necessarily economic production needed a lot of that capacity to be sideline before we saw stability come back into the sector. prices have stabilized. when you look at the complex, differentiated out copper, , we have different performances pricewise over the last six months, but the key factor is for copper at least

and probably nickel, we are looking at steady as she goes in terms of the price outlook for the remainder of 2016. for a commodity like zinc, much better supply-demand fundamentals, and that is reflected in commodity price graphs. we see a significant variance and how those base metals have performed within the overall complex. rishaad: would you say the mining industry has gone through or still in the process of rightsizing? that process is pretty much complete. the lasthe minors over two-three years, bhp and rio tinto primarily, they have downsized, but it takes the impact in terms of supply -- we talk about demand a lot, china and the demand side, but the

real key factor is supplied. you don't get immediate impacts in terms of the price readjustment immediately. for those-3 years supply side cuts to feed through the market. that is the nature of the resource cycle. i think we are pretty much at the bottom in terms of where we are now. to see anxpect immediate robust improvement in the price of copper over 2016. it is of course of the key metal within the base metals complex, but we are certainly seeing the bottom, and that is providing confidence for the major miners for bhp and rio tinto in terms of development in mongolia. both minors have identified copper as the next metal in terms of the china economic story. we will see a shifting emphasis from iron orewhich accounts for 50% of bhp's earnings,

probably 75% of rio tinto's earnings, and we will see an adjustment towards copper over the next 5-10 years. you mention the two p ands of mining, bh rio tinto, but what about share price, not particularly great. is there valued there are was go -- would you rather elsewhere in the mining space to find growth? very interesting question. if we have a look at performances of bhp and rio tinto from a share price , at the start of 2016, they were trading at their -- andlevel since primarily that was due to the fact that road companies are heavy lead -- heavily leveraged to the price of iron or, and iron ore has been on a steady

decline. somewe have seen is recovery so far in 2016, and that has be offended -- has benefited bhp and rio tinto respectively. valuek there is better of there in terms independent players in the sector that are more exposed to commodity showing better price performance, commodities like lithium, and graphite. also seen significant improvements in the oil sector as well with the oil price performing very strongly and trading robustly around the $50 per barrel mark. rs have hade problems, a price waterhouse coopers report showed a ramp-up in capacity expansion over the ast decade had resulted in
