30-year. this shows what is happening in swiss, it is a haven. in yellow. 105 mark we touched 103. the boj did not do anything. maybe they are saving ammunition in case the risks they were talking about comes true. this goes to the problem of abenomics that seems to be not working out as planned. should we getts to synthesize all of this action? which guests could we possibly select to synthesize -- francine: i think we have them on set. i think he is next to me. he is a senior independent economic advisor at ubs investment bank. how do you sympathize the markets? it goes back to tom's point that everything is interrelated.
5:07 am
should we be less comforted by the fact that if one thing goes wrong, all of this, central banks, policies, cutie, even equities, come crumbling down? george: in some ways it is reminiscent about what was happening at the financial crisis time. -- it of european banks is dimon center, -- it is diamonds and dirt. currency, gold, precious metals, something that people will buy at any price. shares, banks, but -- francine: i love that. diamonds and dirt. we need to see what is going on. symptomatic. is it in the banks. deutsche bank is at a record low, or is it what is happening

5:33 am
much are people concerned about deutsche bank to let how much are they worried about negative rates on the macro environment? michael: it is mostly the latter. in january and february you had some deutsche-specific concerns about the a one's and ability to pay back security here that seems to have faded. you're seeing credit suisse move down in the same way. some of the u.k. banks around the brexit are moving in the same way. you have a lot of headwinds right now in europe. among the large banks in the u.s., the average net interest margin is 3%. for the europeans, it is half of that. francine: you must look at the banks quite a lot. 10-years ago, it was about consolidation. now we have one regulator, that seems unlikely. will we see banks breaking up? george: if you ask me why the deutsche bank is under share
5:34 am
pressure today, they employ a lot of people in london. if we get a vote that goes the wrong way -- my humble opinion -- they're restructuring charges will be very significant. they're going to move the most people out of london in one form or another. it is no wonder they are under specific pressure. the reality is margins are very tough in the bank. the cost is is too high. a lot of restructuring will go on. from our point of view, all we care about is the money good, good counter partners? deutsche bank is still a strong counter partner for us. tom: i look at money good as being the linchpin of mr. c regulatoryogue with authorities. how close are we with the market u.s.oing from 48 billion dollars? how close are we to with a phone
5:35 am
calls are made saying that we have a problem being money good? i think there are concerns when you see a drop like that. since the crisis has basically been bad for shareholders and good for the credit holders, the bondholders, of the bank. whether it is the capital front making them take less risk -- it is hurt their profitability. it has helped their creditworthiness, then being money good. there's less concern on that side. it is only if the share price declines parks some sort -- share price decline sparks some kind of wider panic. the brexit about remaining, but after june 23, if they can raise capital, could they raise it? michael: the problem is, it would be so dilutive. they are trading at less than
5:36 am
one third of book. it would be pretty painful to do it if they had to, they could certainly attempt that. i think they will try other things, such as selling postbank and other assets before they try that, given the level they are trading at. francine: how do you look at japanese ranks? -- japanese banks. they welcome the fact there is not more stimulus from the doj. japanese banks have expressed a concern that the doj policy of negative rates is eroding their reasons. george: when you think about japanese banks in this context, any differently than i think european banks, or any other -- swiss banks, where negative interest rates are obviously the principal tool that central banks are using to try to have the limited briefing
5:37 am
they have got. we were talking before that it is kind of an irony. tom spoke before about the banks need to call one 800 -- of00-draghi, it is kind perverse. them to: it is up to come to a position where they can withstand more negative macroeconomics? george: yes, but it is tough. we are in a world of negative short-term rates. you take a japanese steak, negative short-term rates, they are not going to give negative rates deposit -- deposit holders in japan and our lifetime. it puts the squeeze on banks. are being kepts a very much under control. part of the process of very low
5:38 am
zero rates is that when companies can borrow at zero, it is quite hard to get into default if you can borrow at zero for five years. there is some relief. the banks have to restructure costs in order to make a return for shareholders. where are the mergers and acquisitions? do you presume that this time is different and that we will see him and a the european banks as they take cross out? yes. i think eventually at the moment, the reality is the places where talking about a very big tanks. -- big banks. they have enough capital issue that it is hard to see the mergers and having to deal with more costs is an easy solution to the problem. tom: i look here, francine. the rapidity of the decline is extraordinary. what is a signal to you, george
5:39 am
magnus? what is a signal to you to see the brutal moves that we have seen right now here the first and second derivative moves. whether it is european banking or negative interest rates. what does it signal? george: at the risk of stating the obvious, i think it signals a malaise. i think about this as a macroeconomist. for me it is a macro economic malaise. i want to extract a little of what is going on at the moment. a deeps really about sense of worry about risk related to the main issue of the moment, the referendum. , some ofcated before the we are seeing in financial markets and negative interest predatesnks, so one -- concerned about the referendum. it is based a different set of
5:40 am
circumstances about our , or oury so far difficulties, in managing the aftermath of the financial crisis. the united states, which has done it better than most, is not immune. francine: what does that mean for man group if we saw an exit from the u.k. from the eu, do you have a plan b? luke: we have to work out what happens on the regulatory point of view. we are big exporter for the u.k.. depending on how the regulatory environment changes, we will have to work out what we will have to do. at this point, we don't know. clearly, the first market affects -- what we care about is how to manage client's capital through the process. whether it creates opportunity or difficult it will be something we see after friday.
5:41 am
short-term, if there is a vote out, i think there will be a lot of market turmoil for a long time. it has real implications beyond the u.k. and across europe. whether it is the bank moves, what is going on generally in equity, there are not to very many brave buyers in the markets anywhere. people are risk-averse. if we get a lot of uncertainty, they will become more risk-averse, which leads hike relations and lower markets. tom: thank you so much. michael moore, bloomberg news. we spoke with richard cleared and yesterday. the former president of the minneapolis fed. look for that later this morning. ♪

6:04 am
dean with us on the many volatilities in the market. 1.03cine, you mentioned a yen. and there are negative yields across the world today. what do you have? this is the message that central banks are failing to assure that the global economic outlook is getting any better. yen bonds are rising and has climbed to the highest since 2014. tom: a life going on this morning. this is different. this is for thomas jordan of these with national bank. jon ferro were in zurich. this is arguably one of the two or three of the biggest moves in eight years since the financial crisis. the is the swiss saying, enough. this is thomas jordan's management of the swiss franc,
6:05 am
someone say, spending their national treasure. rollover here of the swiss franc. that has led to tension in the market. francine, i know you are following this tic by tic with our guy johnson. what do you have on the bloomberg today? francine: there was a huge impact on a lot of eastern european currencies. this is a plain-vanilla japanese yen chart because it busted through 1.05 and it is currently at 104.29. this is also because it has been prompted by brexit concerns. so, we need to go to the central bank's actions and we need to go with the swiss bank. tom: without question, our most important interview of the day
6:06 am
on "bloomberg surveillance." he will celebrate his 20th anniversary at the swiss national bank next year. our guy johnson in conversation with thomas jordan. guy, good morning. guy: good morning to you, tom. we have been waiting for this interview all morning and it is a great pleasure to welcome thomas jordan to "surveillance." good morning. we live in difficult times right now, and you certainly do as well. we have the referendum next week in the united kingdom. you talked about the idea that you're priority is to stabilize the market. are there any limits to what that stabilization could actually look like? if you were to intervene, are there limits on what you could actually do? , as you said,ble our goal will be than to have an impact on the market that would study it. that that would -- that would
6:07 am
steady it. guy: the risk reversal rate shows the market is preparing for some very big moves. >> i cannot be very specific, that we don't have any specific exchange rate target. the goal is to have a stabilizing impact on that day in order to avoid volatility. guy: you have surprised some people this morning, talking about the fact that further rate cuts are possible. you are already at -75. you,lose to the edge are regarding what the market will tolerate and what negative rates can achieve? >> we have always said very clearly that it is not possible to go anywhere. are at thee moment, it is still possible to lower rates. guy: but there are limits. horizon,mit on the
6:08 am
or is a quite close? >> it is hard to say. of course, there is a risk that happens when people take cash out of the bank. there is a limiting impact on how far you can go. so, there is no evidence from the banks themselves that there was talk if yoa few days back. you are not getting any hints from the big swiss banks, looking at that? are no incentives by banks to take out cash. we have this amount, where banks don't have to pay an interest rate on. but if they take the cash now, it will take away from that amount. guy: how high is the bar for another rate cut? >> as i said, i cannot be more
6:09 am
specific. there is still room to lower rates. analyze thee situation very carefully and then make a decision, whether we have to change the monetary policy or not. guy: when you look at what else could be potentially in the toolbox for the snb, wales is in there that you could possibly do? -- what else is in there that you could possibly do? what else is there that is possible for you to achieve? >> we do not have the possibility to tax people. this is not the toolbox of the swiss national bank. but our monetary policy is very clear. as i said before, there is still some room to go lower. and the willingness to intervene if necessary in the foreign exchange market. reporter: do you think the general public is getting comfortable with the way monetary policy is progressing in switzerland?
6:10 am
>> i think most of the people in switzerland understand quite well the function of monetary policy. it is quite a difficult environment we are in. is a safe haven w ith the swiss franc, it is very strong. they understand you have to follow the monetary policy. guy: if you are going to sequence your tool priorities, intervention would be where he would go first. >> of course, in the first phase, to have a stabilizing impact on the market would be the preference, of course. guy: when you think about what is happening more broadly around the world, janet yellen speaking yesterday, talking about the global phenomenon she is seeing. she has an incredibly closed economy. you have an incredibly open economy. how difficult is it to run monetary policy right now? what did you take away from what janet yellen had to say?
6:11 am
>> this is a very difficult situation, especially for a small open economy. it depends on the financial markets and the global grossing. as long as the demand is not as strong as it could be and as long as we have turbulence in some financial markets, that creates a more difficult situation for us. we are small and open. you can profit from the global economy and if you profit under one hand, you have to accept on the other hand that there are time to time difficult situations. guy: what advice would you give the bank of england, if you had to manage january 2015 and you work your way through that? when you look at look at happen over the next few days -- you guys run a 24 hour operation -- what advice would you give them? >> i have confidence in my
6:12 am
colleague, mark carney. so, i don't have any advice for the bank of england. guy: right, but presumably, on that day, you guys will be talking, making sure you are on the same page. will any coordinated policy action be possible? >> of course, all major central banks have that information once it is here. but at the end of the day, every central bank has to analyze its itsation and for phi fulfill own mandates. unless the situation is extreme, the global coordinated missions are very rare. guy: thomas, he has been so great speaking with you. it is a little overcast here today. back to you in new york. tom: coming up, we look at the

6:16 am
we heard murmurs that if the brexit were to happen next thursday, then on the friday, maybe central banks will have to step in for extra liquidity, or maybe something more. tom: let me go over here to the bloomberg terminal. help me out here, anthony. dean curnutt series. every time he is on, i learned something. this is the volatility of europe, versus the utility of the united states. what you have here dean, we are essentially, record wide. oureen their agitation or education, what is going -- or our agitation, what is going on? >> it is a huge number. it obviously reflects the uncertainty from brexit. i will tell you what, what is really interesting, if you look
6:17 am
at very short dated options with of the british pound, that is even more accentuated. tom: francine lacqua has shown us that many times. is this about the brexit or a slow economy and the central bank harming the financial system? >> we have never had another risk event on the calendar that has implications as profound as this one. tom: there you. -- there you hear it, francine. this is all that we are talking about. francine: what happens if it does not get resolved on thursday. what happens if the vote is so close they could come back on the agenda in 18 months from now. >> the vote is the vote. it will stand. i think you can make the argument that 51-49 is not enough of a mandate for this to go away. but if they vote to stay, i

think he will be a pretty strong risk on. you will see a huge deceleration inimplied volatility'ies things like the pound and the euro. the question is, it is way too close to call and as you just saw with the interview with the snb head, nobody knows what the asset price reaction will be. tom: that is very important. i just put that out on twitter. dean curnutt, mincing no words. mike and i will be with francine next week in london. the formeralked to president of the minneapolis fed. an of andw, he has in. ♪

6:23 am
a clear-cut vote, this is going to be back on the table. are we ever going to have a tory party that can mend the differences and vote together once again. >> i think most people should accept whatever the vote is. i don't think we can have a debate afterwards about the margin of victory. either way. if there were a "leave" vote, god forbid, i would accept it. francine: you believe they have to accept it, but will they. >> i think they will. i think it will be very hard for them, but i think they will. , but if they say we should stay in europe, people should accept the vote. tom: we saw yesterday, the absolutely extraordinary sight
6:24 am
of osborne on stage. you are a card-carrying certified member of the london elite. how are you going to drag tory's kicking and screaming? ed: there is a slightly odd debate going on about the elite versus the people. ide,people on the "leave" s could be characterized as elite as well, but i am an elected politician. so, i think i have a right to say i am a resident of the people, just as many people on the other side of the argument are. the current chancellor any previous chancellor have both had to manage a financial crisis, the big economic crash of 2008. 's likeow what it for a country to face something like that. they are trying to get a message
6:25 am
to the people -- anybody who has done analysis knows that if we leave the european union thursday, there will be an immediate economic crisis. tom: i'm assuming you and chancellor osborne and prime minister cameron can do this by yourself. what do need from brussels? what do you need from angela merkel? what do you need from a distracted mr. hollande in france? ed: there is a debate regarding how much european ministers should take part. this is a debate for the british people who have and it is one to have with british politicians. so, i think prime minister cameron and osborne are making the case quite strongly. i think most of us think it is a debate for the british to have about our place in europe. francine: if you look at the
6:26 am
polls, it is very close, but if the brexit does prevail, will david cameron have to step down? ed: david cameron actually said he would remain on. i don't think that is going to happen, but they all say they would happily support david kamman remaining as prime minister -- support david cameron remaining as prime minister. i think they recognize, it is better to have a prime minister staying put and seeing things through, rather than to all of a sudden have a crisis of leadership as well. francine: all next week, tom keene, michael mckee and i will bring you live brexit coverage from london. we also give you the latest polls on a daily basis. ♪

6:32 am
change on thursday. as you said, everything hinges on that. >> right, we are not focusing on the economic impact of the brexit. this is something that does feel like it is. it will be a headwind if they leave, but these things play out over a couple years. the more important question is regarding asset prices. all of these other assets move, which forces investors to behave in certain ways. and when the price of risk increases, the price of insurance increases. tom: you did not answer my question. the minister has got to make some money here. noon a "remain," there is doubt that sterling is set to pop. tom: there you go! i set it up for mr. vaizey there! francine: yes, he cannot believe his luck there. >> if there is even a hand of

currency trading on the back of the brexit debate, there will be a major surge. i will not be consulting in and the currency speculation, i want to make that clear to your viewers. the pound will its value, it is going to drive up the cost of living. our finance minister has made it clear, there will be a big economic shock immediately and of course, in the long term as well, the economic prospects will be difficult. most foreign investors are going to start thinking, when their next big decision comes, do we go to germany or france? francine: john mills was of course, against this. it is an emotional argument. the truth is somewhere in the middle, that we don't know what the impact is. but given the fact that it is so close and it will have implications are the worse or the better, do you think david
6:34 am
cameron is regretting calling this referendum? >> no, but this is a question that has been bubbling over since we joined the european union 41 years ago. i think it is important that we have this debate and have a clear decision. as i said at the top of your program, once that decision is made, people will respect it will stop francine: you believe this country will not brexit. why have we seen a very clear gain in momentum for the brexit side over the last seven days? ed: it is interesting. i was involved in the last general election and the scottish referendum as well. are often wrong. they were wrong about scotland and they were wrong about the general election as well. i wish the polls did not dominate, i wish the general knowledge did.
6:35 am
britishly, i think the people have a lot of common sense and they think we are better off in europe. tom: dean curnutt, how do you color uncertainty right now? what is the character of that right now, when i see deutsche barclays, etc. what is the color of this right now, and can you trade it? back and you step take a 20 year nap and some negative interest rates -- this stuff is not the textbook. perhaps because negative interest rates are negative, the in is doing something particular. when a look at brexit and the potential impact, it is all about the interdependencies. it is capital flows, systemic risk through banks. iron not convinced that these things have been taken care of
6:36 am
by macro regulation. it is just unknowable. the fear should not be the economic headwinds. it should be the potential impact on hedging. and when those costs go up enough, they force investors to take risks. you have two choices, you can sell or hedge. high060 or 2070 feels too to me. francine: is there anything we should take solace in? we keep talking about the risks in china. actually, do we need to focus on the positives and where are they? dean: absolutely, so if you look at early february -- it was very oil centric and china centric. we had this global commodity deflation. we have a fed that is low forever. and in the u.s., you have pretty high inconsistent profits with a
6:37 am
multiple on the market that is high, but not outrageously high. again, i think the benefits of risk assets is the sovereign debt market is so highly prized, that you have to reach for something. in the case of stocks, try to earn some income for your stocks. tom: minister, what will happen the day after brexit "remain," when we understand there is no equivalent to london on the continent? in every interview we have done, i have yet to have anybody identify a london equivalent. with that said, after the brexit, doesn't live go on for london as a financial center? dean: to a certain extent, that is true. nobody will argue that the u.k. will be a desolate wasteland. but what we are clear about is that there will be a massive economic shock and it will long-term, be bad for the economy.
6:38 am
i think the city of london can do well, but i also represent the tech economy, where we are the leaders. you know, i look at my counterparts in france and germany, the ministers there. they are working very hard to attract this investment. we have other advantages. we do have a more sophisticated financial market for investment, but you can be sure that berlin and paris will be front and center and saying to tech companies, now that the u.k. has left the eu, come and base yourself here. tom: thank you so much, minister. i will see you next week in london. is looking to new with dean curnutt. an imported interview coming up on bloomberg radio, worldwide. is the chairman to the president's council of economic advisers. we will catch up with him later today. ♪

6:43 am
u.k. leaving the european union? you have a big interest in the u.k., right? you try to get into the retail business, but got a lot of pushback from the government because you are company with large involvement from the russian state. do you see this changing the u.k. energy market at all? >> the global transaction is going down in an accelerated way. several u.k. companies are interested in purchasing russian goods. ryana we of a stor: on the bloomberg -- ryan: we have a story on the bloomberg terminal. pound will avoid volatility. an interesting mistake there. and long-term, this could be

central-bank activity and some important u.s. economic data coming out. we also have with us the senior executive board member from bmw. he is british, but a prominent executive with a german company. we will talk about cars and the company, but more importantly, about brexit. that is all coming up. tom: thank you so much, david. let's bring up the yen chart. bwhat is different now from 2008 , and previous bouts of joy before that? >> i think in this situation, the hurdle for the ministry of finance in japan to constructively boj -- to instruct the boj to intervene is certainly higher. it has been suggested that intervention is really a last resort, and only for disorderly markets.
6:51 am
and second, the fact that the treasury has indicated that currency manipulation is something they are watching carefully, in terms of their designation of countries around the world as being non free traders. tom: this early markets, and if -- disorderly markets, and if we look at this folks, this is the standard deviation. flows play into that? can't they unravel and destabilize the best intentions? >> you know, i think that is what is driving things here, tom. i think capital flows in general, are slowing pretty dramatically. i think capital flows out of japan, despite low and negative interest rates there, have really slowed because there is not much yield to chase around the world. wwha that means is when cross board capital flows are slowing,
6:52 am
then current account balances become much more important. we know that the countries with very large relative current account balances include japan, switzerland, and also to a certain extent, the eurozone. i think that is part of the reason why the euro is holding up reasonably well here, despite all of these concerns about the brexit and the spillover impact on the euro. atncine: the yen here is 104.30. i would point out that drop in 20 for the first time ever. who has the toughest time, bob. japan or switzerland? , it isink, in a sense switzerland because their economy is so small relative to the size of global capital flows. yet, they get capital flows that are so outsized. you know, the size of their reserves, relative to gdp, is
6:53 am
something on the order of five times the reserves china has relative to gdp. switzerland is a country that is completely dominated by these capital flows. the economy is relatively small. this is extremely difficult for the swiss. francine: right, we spoke to the snb president. he said also, he is ready to intervene. or will japan or switzerland be condemned if they intervene with the currency markets? bob: i don't think so. i think you can make the case these are becoming disorderly markets. i think the problem they face in intervening now is that the brexit vote is still seven days away. and i think that is another event that could increase these risk aversion capital flows. and so, the question is, do you intervene now and run the risk of having it being overwhelmed
6:54 am
by a vote for the u.k. to leave? you have had failed intervention and that makes it more difficult the next time around for intervention to be successful. tom: bob, thanks so much. you and i have never seen this and what i noticed here, at the zero bound 30 years out, this quadratic sense here is frightening. you and i have not seen this before, it is that simple. 30 year, 0% with arguably the safe haven of the world. bob: we have never seen anything like it, it is a nominal yield 30 years out. there is not many ways to make money on the trade. earlierncine mentioned the polish money denominated into swiss francs. bob: there are a couple of different things.

one, there is an economic channel. it is years in the making and it will take us a while to appreciate. it is a financial channel and the sentiment channel. the eurozone is already so fragile. in a lot of our advice, it has not been about the u.k., but the knock on effect to a very fragile eurozone. tom: agreed. francine: when will yields stop falling? i know it is a broad question, but is it 18 months from now, or is it the normal for the next five years? bob: it is so challenging. you know, larry summers as the --gnation -- very summers larry summers has seen the stagnation. tom: thank you so much for you t ime. enough.ot talk to you maybe we could get you back
