12:05 pm
they are still talking about what comes next. it seems to me when he speak to a lot of people on the ground or insiders that both parties, the conservatives and the labour party are trying to figure out their next move. there has been a lot of pushback -- it issels and unfair that the eu is paying the price. overall there is a lot of bafflement and people figuring out, i think you mentioned it at the top, why so many people are does the eu brags it mean for me west mark the people have spoken, but it looks like a mess. tom: you have such a good of europe.ng how are the comments of european officials received by members of parliament? let's remember a lot of members of parliament were

for leave, many were for remain. --depends on the fractions fractions or who you speak to. if you look at the politics, in the labour party, some are trying to overturn their current leader to try and find a more credible situation. others are trying to figure out if boris johnson is really the right option. there are many moving parts and there is not one united voice at all. i have covered this parliament for many years and i have never seen it so divided, ever. not only divided, but divided on both sides. insight on the effect on the economy. ian bremmer joins us on the phone from beijing. do you feel that political leaders understand the depth of
12:07 pm
the public's need for change? they should now. they probably won't. this was very much a throw the bones out vote. the polls were very close on this issue and it was never going to be an easy call to say they were going to vote to stay. the heads ofwhile the conservative party, the labour party, pretty much every leader in the world except police said this was a bad idea, the people who voted did not their socialll in contact with the leadership had broken and nobody was taken care testing care of them. the people have spoken loudly. most governments in the developed world work with the working and middle class, i suspect the answer is no. scarlet: what kind of leader is
12:08 pm
best positioned to represent the new order, the new paradigm? farage?o or someone who has not come out? farage is not that leader and it is not as if he has an enormous support, the donald trump, boris johnson, they are present extreme protest votes. what is interesting is in germany, people don't want run, but she two is going to win. runne strong is going to against her. he will force the british people to take a monetary hit. wins in the clinton
12:09 pm
be ad states, there will trackback to the establishment. one of the reasons you saw this vote is because the u.k. is not were not going to die, they felt like they vote, not show up to polls, ultimately it did not matter much to them. let's recognize the fact that a solid 30% of the electorate did not bother to turn out for this one. we have to hold them accountable. tom: one of the most articulate onngs i heard was lord brown remain. sir james dyson of the vacuum cleaners wrote a lovely piece for the times. to think we can reform brussels is arrogant and delusional.

experience recession and will not get as many immigrants. it is not a britain that is going to become anything great. what are the implications for the broader eu when it does not have a liberal market friendly u.k.? have not have -- it is not -- lessit is relevant today. if you are going to read negotiate a treaty with the u.k., and an enormous distraction over the next few years, i can think of a lot of countries that will use that as an opportunity to get more goodies for themselves. you're going to have to relitigate the entire eu treaty. pieces of all the integration that were making the eu stronger, financial harmonization and regulation,
12:12 pm
digital strategy, those things are going to stop. tradeansatlantic partnership the u.s. has been promoting, those things are going to get much weaker. downside forng but the eu itself. scarlet: you are joining us from beijing. what is the response in china? what does that mean for china that will be renegotiating a treaty with the u.k.? it or not, the chinese do not like this and they do not like this because the chinese are not fundamentally a military power. they are in economic power beard for them to be successful, they need strong economic partners that want to buy a lot of their stuff. fact that the europeans are becoming weaker and the transatlantic alliance is weaker, he gives them more potential to divide or did they like it when the southeast
12:13 pm
asians are weak because the chinese are dominant militarily there. they can have security control in their backyard. they want stronger trading partners. the russians want a week eu, they want a better energy environment to do deals. they don't want a strong eu. the chinese actually think more strategically. from china's perspective, this is bad. the reason he goes to germany, berlin, that is where the power is. decided it is a second-tier power. xi jinping is going to spend a lo lot less time there. tom: thank you.

to earnings, but we can tell you it will not be positive. the politicale battle over the next couple of years, does your single-digit world to become ever more single-digit? kate: i think this is the new normal. we are expecting less returns. we are seeing the low returns being accompanied by a wider band of uncertainty around them. the range of outcomes is broader right now. you see that reflected in prices today as investors are trying to find a level in the market where they can get compensated for the additional risk around this lower than normal rate scarlet: what opportunities might this present? tos it create an opening build a position or add to a position that already exists? tradeit is very hard to around these markets. those who have tried have gotten burned. it is hard to gauge if this is a

morning. it is natural to be concerned, there is a great deal of uncertainty, a lot of unknowns that are known and a lot of unknown unknowns. they are cautiously staying the course, trying to work our way through this uncertain period and come out on the other side with what it means to fundamentals. tom: help me with what i used to believe is normal. if you look at the dow industrial average in this bull market most of us missed, the drop-down is the red circle, fairly pulled back. the correction, it is for 2800, now, we have500 not done this for a while, have we? katie: we do not think this will turn into a bear market.
12:22 pm
ultimately, we do not think it will push the u.s. or global economy into a recession. that would be a necessary ingredient for a bear market. we consider silver linings. this will keep the federal reserve on hold much longer than they want to, much longer than investors and his spaces, which will ultimately provide some sort of support for risk asset markets. scarlet: jay nixon nixon, thank you so much for joining us. we want to get another quick check of u.s. stocks before we head to break. down by 500ow points. is 10%. ha alix: goals, $51, 1318. this is "bloomberg markets."

12:52 pm
upward. your chart of the day is gold as well? tom: i don't have enough right now -- it up right now, but what i would suggest is that gold is outside the monetary dynamics right now. does it have a life of its own that will go to record highs? think we are tied about record highs. we're talking about further upside. scarlet: we will certainly keep an eye on that. let's go to oil. .ou have wti down clearly oil is being taken down. what about the fundamentals? does it alter the fundamentals in any way? of the is the question day. there are two fundamental impacts that could possibly happen.
12:53 pm
one is currency impact, which could dampen growth in emerging markets. that is the reason for the stronger dollar. the other is the impact on economic growth itself. obviously that scenario could play out. see, in total, of 0.3% hit on gdp. it is not that big. in the abstract, i would compare two things. one is maybe we lose one or even two of global oil demand growth. is other thing to even mind last year we had global oversupply of 1.7 million barrels a day. this year, for the second half, we are balanced. that is the story.

1:07 pm
what happens? overthrown as simple as this? his political future will be. enough to keept the u.k.. help us with what prime minister cameron was talking about in a conservative or tory october meeting. this is not like the cleveland convention with mr. trump. speechent through the together and it was emotional and to the point. he said he will resign but not immediately because he doesn't want to shock the country but he
1:08 pm
