2:53 am
reserve, sounding far more dovish. you're thinking a cut is more likely on the cards. bob: there is space -- there is space for a hike so any hike is unwarranted by the data. i am going to come back on this show and probably six months time and talk to you about the fed and why they cut rates. the jobs recession is beginning. we got they relate cycle lack of productivity. the corporate sector always response the same way by cutting costs. the biggest costs they can cut is labor. between now and then, perhaps the july meeting -- september seems too far away. there may be pressure on yellen to do something. that is more to do with the election. caroline: pressure from politics, you think? bob: i think there is going to be enough a lot of pressure on ms. yellen. if you know anything about ms.
2:54 am
yellen, their political leanings are well known, i think if your child, this is the same issue with brexit -- if you are trump, this essay makes you -- this is the same issue with brexit. the average joe has done bad out of this. the pressure is going to be on yellen. is perhapss perhaps -- i think there is perhaps some political motivation to show trump that she is not there to backstop hillary. not store up a little more dry powder? costs atce of lending a all-time low going to do anything to slow up the economy? bob: it is not about slowing the economy. i think doing one more hike to show that the fed is not married to hillary, or that ms. yellen
2:55 am
is not pro-hillary or pro-democrat that she would do whatever it takes. it is not the economy. the economy is slowing down anyway. from my perspective, we've got the beginnings of some recessionary indicators flashing. i think that is going to hit worse. the u.s. is not an island. the global economy is slowing down. the fed's projections are advising slowdown. 3%.is what to come in below for that economy is awful. central bank can play with the theet but the reality economic -- it is not there. this is not just after brexit. brexit is having some impact but the bigger picture is globally, we haven't got enough demand.

always be the opposite. but brexit will be close. there will be panic. personally, i think a lot of the market will look at that as an opportunity. scene fromhad a russia early on. all i heard from people is that of sterling cheapens up enough they will buy assets. go figure. matt: let me jump in. i'm sure you're hearing from wealthy people. none of them are buying deutsche bank shares. are falling toe a low. 12 euros, 96 that is what we are seeing. the lowest on record. is abig, drop, this one-year chart. would be aaying it disaster for the u.k. economy, a political disaster for europe was to do you think people are sensationalizing this? is it truly such a momentous

about? bob: it is a bit of both. i think people are over sensationalizing this. be moment this was a is where we need to step back. we look in the context of mr. trump, in the u.s. reallyrage citizen doesn't listen to the economic argument the way that we the market do. the average citizen in the u.s., or the euro zone, has sat there for the last eight years. they have seen their standard of living fall. while the inequality in the economy has gone through the roof. socialist, but i think it was a point. the difference between now and 100 years ago is that 100 years ago most four people were much poorer than they are now. they didn't realize how rich rich people were.
3:20 am
if you are an average citizen, you have seen your house and your real income lower. your standard of income is falling. people are responding to that inequality. it is a protest against the system. people should be more focused on the economic argument. how can you say that? people can say i haven't benefited from an economic upside. struggling to believe in that. that is what is going on you and brexit, with trump. afd nextee that with year. british people don't hate europe. but it is a protest against the establishment. if there's anyone to blame, this is my personal view, blame cameron for his speech. for promises that haven't been able to be delivered. you can look at the eu and say the deal you give cameron,

frankly, was going to be impossible for david cameron to say i have a good deal. it is all from that. caroline: the uncertainty seems to be geopolitical risk. thank you very much indeed. off now to go and speak at a bloomberg event downstairs. viewshanks to have his board today. up next, global sovereign bond yield is collapsing. we look at the extraordinary trend in the bond market. a record low, after record low. the ftse 100 is off in a gloomy city of london. ♪
