campaign. that is, cross twitter in a few --that has come across twitter in the last few minutes. we'll keep an eye on that. the bank of england left monetary policy unchanged, and that was one key factor influencing their decision. chair yellen: brexit, the upcoming decision on whether to leave the european union is something we discussed, and it is one of the factors. >> britain has been a key member of the eu for the last four decades. i believe there have been rejected him at the benefits for all of this time. the bank of japan coordinates closely with central banks in the world including the bank of england. draghi: we understood the relevance in the market, etc., but at the end of the day, i think every central bank has to analyze it situation and fulfill its own mandate. it is all moving around
10:10 am
the world, following central-bank comments, particular those made by fed chair janet yellen p i want to reiterate the 10-year yield is now at 1.521%. joining us now is danielle dimartino booth. to i for joining us. -- thank you for joining us. janet yellen concentrate on risks to the downside. is that what this 10-year yield is reflecting, or is it something else? centralrtino booth: banks around the world are in a tight spot because they are coming aware of how much they're going to be affected by this vote and how close this vote is, which we did not anticipate prior to what happened in orlando. orlando tragedy, we saw the odds of a brexit increase appreciably, and i think that was a game changer for the fed. vonnie: would you not think
10:11 am
there is a correlation? ms. dimartino booth: i am saying the fear factor in britain went up appreciably after what happened in orlando. you could see it in the polls. so the neutral rate for the fed now is what? ms. dimartino booth: we still think it was 4.5, and then it came down to 3, and then it came down to what she has said in the past, 2. it continues to come down. what we see in the 10-year this morning is the pool from other sovereigns as they go deeper and deeper into negative territory. yellenanielle, janet citing the upcoming u.k. referendum is a factor in the delay. what happens if the u.k. does vote to leave the eu -- does that make a july move much more -- much less likely, excuse me? ms. dimartino booth: i think we have seen the july move move down appreciably since the payroll report came out, and i
10:12 am
think july would be off the table if they were to vote to leave. absolutely. mark: and when it comes to july, i have a world interest rate probability function in front of me. this is the probability for a july u.k. rate cut, not a hike, it cut. you will see the probability has been rising from 17% to 26%, but the boe saying it has a difficult trade-off between battling inflation if brexit occurs, and of course, propping up inflation and employment. do you think it cut is more likely than a rate hike? thedimartino booth: i think fed is going to be a cut. people's memories are very short. it wasn't days ago, literally, that there was so much hawkish fed speak hitting the newswires. i think they have begun to recognize they are behind the
10:13 am
curve and they might be one and done with last september's rate hike. bank of england might be the first to cut, and the fed might follow them. vonnie: what would that mean to the likes of japan -- the bank of japan, then? ms. dimartino booth: we heard this morning how difficult and tenuous the position is because there will be more flight into yen, and that is the last thing they need at this point. vonnie: danielle -- danielle dimartino booth, t y. coming up on bloomberg markets, russia's deputy prime minister joins us from the st. petersburg are national form. he will talk oil, assets, and maybe even a little football, although that could be a sore point. ♪

ryan, take it away. by arkady i am joined dvorkovich. we'll talk about the referendum in the u.k. on the 23. that is where i would like to kick it off with you. i had the opportunity to speak ncker, and his ju message to u.k. brokers is don't do it -- don't ask of the european union. we know where he stands. where does russia stand -- does russia care whether britain since the eu or not? mr. dvorkovich: russia cares about your. good partners are usually not week partners. we need your to stay strong. it depends. if europe is not going to become weaker because of the brexit, we are ok with that. but if europe is going to become weaker, you will have problems in terms of the economy, so we
10:18 am
are in a development cents. we are not in favor of that. reiterate that this is the right of the people that live in the u.k., and nobody should convince them. ryan: you will be aware that a lot of people in europe and britain believe that russia would be delighted if the u.k. were to exit the european union because maybe russia wanting weaker europe. that might make it easier to end the sanctions. is that not true? mr. dvorkovich: that is not true. that is not true. truly is only in really strong -- true belief is only in strong countries and unions that can support stability around the world. ryan: you, as the biggest trading partner -- i know president clinton and president juncker were able to that
10:19 am
president -- president putin and juncker were able to meet. mr. dvorkovich: our economy is stable already. we believe that sanctions are counterproductive for everyone, not for us, but for europe as well, the net estate, and other countries. the sooner sections will be revoked, the better the world is going to be. ryan: we're for the central banks say -- the russian central get to positive growth by the end of the year, you're looking at 1.5% next year. my question for you is can russia get beyond 2% as long as those sanctions are in place, or is that is good as it gets? mr. dvorkovich: most of the sanctions,nds not on oil prices, but our own ability to promote growth, structural reforms, better business
10:20 am
environs, better science and education -- things like that. sections only have a minor affect on that. oil prices have a temporary effect, not a long-term effect. achieve 3% to to 4% growth in the medium-term perspective. ryan: even with sanctions. mr. dvorkovich: even with sanctions. ryan: we heard nicolas sarkozy say russia should come as a gesture to get beyond sanctions, break the impasse, perhaps drop counter sanctions. russia has been eu imports, particularly in the food sector, as a way to begin the saw with the european union -- thaw with a european union. is that something russia would entertain? mr. dvorkovich: we're not in the entertainment business, or the charity business. charity is important, but not in this case. ryan: he is not talking about
10:21 am
charity -- -- it isovich: it is not about gestures. they revoke the embargo, they're going to compensate for still that finance conditions -- bad finance conditions. we have budget constraints. we need to keep the policy in place until sanctions -- ryan: and it is working, you think? mr. dvorkovich: we believe, yes, it is growing in a sustainable manner -- over the last three years. we became the largest grain exporter in the world this agricultural year. it is very important for us to invest back in russia and we continue to increase our food production.
10:22 am
it is working. ryan: you and i have been coming to this investment forum for the better part of a decade. what is your sense of investor appetite amongst foreigners -- is it improving? to dvorkovich: i talked investors in the first few hours. there is interest. most important, everyone is in the process of investing more money into the russian economy, and the process so far is creating new industrial facilities, new r&d projects, and creating even new research labs in russia with russian universities. everyone -- there is no single exception among those companies. those companies are from the net is dates, europe, china, japan, and other countries. it will believe better to do things without
10:23 am
sanctions, confrontations, but they continue doing business in russia and with russia on the basis of long-term business. ryan: talk about your privatization program. one of the companies on the block is the world's largest diamond producer. is it possible we could see a roeser, or a l strategic sale as soon as this month? mr. dvorkovich: we have a number of companies preparing for stak es. they are among those. [indiscernible] a couple of others are also on the list. theng still depends on markets and respective companies. i cannot tell you the exact date. ryan: since we are in june, you are and the process of preparing the prospectus for the
10:24 am
shareholder, or not necessarily? mr. dvorkovich: in some cases there are still findings in the transactions. whether we're going to have strategic investments. in this case, it is not clear. it is based on thorough market research. companies youhe mention -- the world's largest public we traded oil producer -- you want to sell a stake in it. one official said maybe we could sell a strategic stake to the chinese -- the chinese, the indians, maybe they are just that. mr. dvorkovich: for the italians? ryan: is that in the cards -- are the italians interested? mr. dvorkovich: we are on the process -- in the process of discussing that with strategic partners. we'll see if there is interest. you cannot exclude any possibility. we are very good relations with chinese partners, indian partners. we'll have a real negotiation process. that one thing we know is
10:25 am
bp is not going to increase its stake. they are at 20%. they are happy. is a share sale also possible -- mr. dvorkovich: all options are on the table. ryan: all options are on the table. finally, the last question -- dividends. one of the things investors love the what the government had to say, you want the state company's pay up 50% of their profits and dividends, and then they have watched as a bunch of copies have gotten exceptions. we will get into the details for various reasons, but are you were there is a credibility process with a lot of copies this companies escaping quite -- companies escaping? mr. dvorkovich: specific individual decisions are impossible since the world is more complicated. djokovic, keyword for your time. accardi jorgen, t y -- thank

anlary clinton has picked up endorsement from oprah winfrey. she calls the election a seminal moment for women. vonnie: global news, 24 hours a 2400 journalists in more than 150 news bureaus around the world. t why. we have to mention the game is 1-1 between england and wales. felt that fellds to record lows, fueled by janet yellen's, said interest rates could remain at lower levels. here to break it all down is lisa abramowicz. lisa, just as you are probably getting ready to come on, we saw the 10 year yield in the u.s. plunge. since 2012, and
10:33 am
the 30-year the lowest in 16 months, and it still looks like a pretty good place to be compared what we are seeing in switzerland in switzerland and japan. here we are looking at the 10-year yield. let's get this clear -- the 10-year note in germany is -.03%. in japan, it is negative .2%. you are basically losing .2% on .onday to japan for 10 years cox -- vonnie: let's listen to the swiss national bank president thomas jordan. it jordan: we said clearly is possible to lower rates. of course it is not possible to
10:34 am
go anywhere, but we are at the moment possible to lower rates. how much lower -- vonnie: how much lower -- is there a limit? mark: i don't know. he does not know --lisa: i don't know. he does not know. the past of least resistance is more -- what do they have to show for it. what other argument is that? i don't understand i am looking -- as i look at the volume that is turning negative, and i'm not sure what the purpose would be. maybe what lisa said, mark, that we have not had a recession in the u.s. yet. mark: it begs the question, doesn't it, how do some thanks deal with the next crisis, with rates already negative in many countries, lisa, and bond
10:35 am
yields. his bill gross right. is it ready to explode? what theo not know catalyst would be for a supernova, necessarily -- and it is about my pay grade to predict supernova. i think to your point about where is the ammunition, should -- with another crisis that said, the bank of japan did not take action overnight, possibly to have something left if the u.k. does decide to exit the european union. amazing, but to suggest they believe they do have ammunition by adding some kind of extra bond purchases, or etf purchases, or lowering the rates further into negative territory, but it raises the question, first of all, are these moves even effective at this point? second of all, clearly we are going to probably see a
10:36 am
recession in the next quattro years. mark: lisa, they are not being effective in their aim of boosting inflation. inflation in the eurozone today confirmed. it has been below 04 quattro months. how much per month is the ecb pumping into the market question mark inflation in the u.k. is at .3%. --market? inflation in the u.k. is at .3%. it does not seem to be getting inflation closer to target, does it? lisa: no. somebody asked me this morning -- one of my colleagues said to me why wouldn't people rent -- lend to riskier countries -- companies? why is risk so high on high-yield debt that still has positive yield of 6% in the u.s. question why not -- why are people so resistant -- u.s.? why not?
10:37 am
why are people so resistant? it is interesting. you are seeing a bifurcation between debt that is considered safe and people -- that that is seen as risky. people do not have faith, certainly in the u.s., the way they did two years ago. we see more restructuring, but some of these companies should come out on the other end and be ok. this way, the biggest high-you'll etf has seen almost $2 billion of withdrawals. there is a concern about global growth, that central banks have run out of ammunition. janet yellen said something very interesting yesterday in her press covers. when asked about helicopter money, -- press conference. when asked about helicopter money, she said she could see how the fed could work in tandem with policymakers to come up with some kind of stimulus. she really put the onus on congress to come up with something they would then finance. she is very aware of the scrutiny the fed is under, aware
10:38 am
of the criticism, and doesn't really want to go that by engaging in some kind of unilateral helicopter program. mark: does that mean -- just before i ask my question -- i love this chart. i know you know it. the collision course chart. the yield on the u.s. three-month bill is .25%. the spread, lisa, is 25 basis point. quattro years ago, it was two percentage points. it -- is this insane? lisa: yes. [laughter] debt is stillate getting a 5%, 6% yield, and there is no shortage of issuance -- what, $1 trillion outstanding now? lisa: there is a shortage with respect to high-yield corporate debt. there has been an increase frequently -- recently, but earlier in the year the spigots were shot. people -- shut.
10:39 am
people are doing more scrutiny. they are looking security by security. investment grade is another story. there is demand for investment-great because of what has happened in europe with their bond purchasing program where they are buying corporate bonds. i was looking at the data. you see a growing volume of corporate bonds with 0% coupons. definitely inching times. vonnie: lisa abramowicz. check out her columns on gadfly. mark: coming up, how would a bright is it impact the u.k. tech scene? we will explore that next. ♪

10:47 am
u.k. space? mr. cox: i would imagine rebalancing overtime, and so on, but certainly some concerns because a lot of the technology businesses already are made up of a high percentage of non-british employees, so there would be some uncertainty over that for sure. vonnie: what about funding -- will it impact venture capital's decision to put money in the u k, from silicon valley, or elsewhere? --elsewhere : there is been a slowdown generally. one would imagine that if we were to leave the eu, we would see businesses more focused on considering other european locations for some or all of their business. u.k.-basedare a

10:49 am
uncertainties is the banking and financial service of industry around past porting of licenses and so on. that was the one concern, but we have a certain structure, which means we wouldn't actually be impacted in the short-term from any change. themesne of the big taking place in the global technology sphere, valuations, are they stretched, and why are we seeing more unicorns progress to ipo's -- aren't we seeing more unicorns progress to ipo's? mr. cox: there is been a slowdown, particularly in the u.s., and we have seen stretched valuations more there than we have here in europe, and that means the impact of any adjustment would be more felt in the u.s. than it would be here in europe. we are certainly seeing some great companies being formed, and i think companies and investors are prepared to keep those companies private for
10:50 am
longer because they are looking at, you know, the right timing to take these companies to markets, and there is a healthy private equity activity level across europe for software companies and so on as an alternative to an ipo. what are your friends in germany and france saying -- would they be rolling their hands in glee if the u.k. did leave? mr. cox: can you repeat that? vonnie: what are your clients -- in france, germany -- what side are they on -- it sounds like they would be happy if the u.k. left. mr. cox: i think the innovation center is somewhat unique. it is actually a small, global community of really specific investors, and the senior management of these companies are often repeat entrepreneurs. they see the world, you know, as a global innovation ecosystem,
10:51 am
and i think there is a lot of collaboration, partnership that goes on across borders and so on , and i think, you know, that is why there is a focus on any not welcomethat across the ecosystem. that is why there is a very strong feeling in favor of remaining. mark: if you heard some cheering behind phil, it was not the quality of the interview, which deserved cheering, but england scored. wales 2-1.ting ♪
