2:34 am
>> we do longer think that the u.k.tution strength of the is what we were used to before. the adaptability, and the effectiveness of the policymaking. we think that is no longer a strength. we think the funding risks for u.k. entities have been created which is very important because the u.k. is extremely dependent on capital flows. theette: bill gross has set u.s. recession may be as high as 50% following the brexit decision. the manager also thinks the yields on two-year u.s. treasury bonds may fall. i could drive up the value of the dollar and increase the odds of a recession. he says while britain represents a small part of the global economy, a brexit will slow trade, immigration and growth around the world. as if brexit was not enough,

2:36 am
filed, what can we expect from the two-day summit in terms of the process of the u.k. leaving? views did i your hate to come back to the divorce analogy but it is too useful it i promise our viewers eye and going to stop doing this after a certain period of time. friday morning, after a night of soul-searching, britain woke up and made a phone call to the european union saying two things, we intend to move out and we intend to file for divorce. what is going to happen and what eu said is, ok we have a meeting scheduled for tuesday anyway, let's sit down over dinner and discuss that. that is what is going to happen. that is going to take place in brussels tonight. the eu, dk, all 27 liters leaderws7 -- 247
2:37 am
sitting down to talk about how this will work. the prime ministers says he will not be in charge of the process. it will be the next prime minister. on the eu side, they said fine, as long as you haven't invoked article 50 and officially filed for divorce -- there we go the divorce comparison again. we are not going to have any informal discussions about who gets part of the house and whether you will be allowed back to see the kids. this is an initial airing of the views. everybody wants to get a sense from david cameron how he sees it. what can david cameron will he say at this point, because he doesn't know who is going to be the next prime minister. guy: ryan, thank you very much indeed. that summed it up very neatly. joining us now is geomet cap. -- is michael metcalfe.
2:38 am
huge amounts of uncertainty in the markets. phrase, old frayed -- hate uncertainty. sterling down hard. equities off. rockets flying into the bond markets, especially deals. is priced right? what is mispriced? what will he be selling more of? michael: i do not know the answer. one of the important things is markets don't become systemic. one of the wings -- one of the ways you can think about that is markets are prone to draw down. for --ng we are watching they priced almost immediately. the stunning collapse is in line with what people expected in this type of event. the question now is the you get knock on impact's through the banking system who make this a much bigger event. that is the focus now at what
2:39 am
kind of policy response are we going to get? caroline: are you -- how are you embracing yourself -- how are you bracing itself for the unraveling of the u.k. and the eu? are you talking about domino effects? michael: absolutely. i mentioned the banking sector is one source of systemic risk. there is a channel potentially of political desk there are these -- antiestablishment parties pulling well. you can save the trump phenomenon is related to that. it was interesting over the weekend the put them is both did not rise. it wass the first test not an immediate connotation. guy: your worded that it could get systemic but we are not
2:40 am
there yet. i want to talk about the baking sector. how much more would take to push the banking sector to become systemic? we have ecb managing the market in europe. that looks like it is reasonably under control. how much more would it take to get us there? michael: obviously somebody equities are down. somebody banks are down as much 2009. more as an 2008, the banks are much safer now. they have gone through massive amounts of stress tests. banks has issues around the 10% mark. that is much higher than it was around the financial crisis. it is still pretty concerning compared with the group. on a motive basis, it is better than it was.
2:41 am
we know all of this information. that was the other risk around the financial crisis was the concern about if you had the wrist, who was vulnerable? -- had the risk, who was vulnerable echo we note -- vulnerable? we know policymakers can respond aggressively now. the only concern, like we had in february, equity markets become -- that is why policy makers will step in soon. caroline: michael, give me a sense of the reaction we are going to see from standard & poor's? it was the last ratings agency to cut the rating on united kingdom. u.k.e going to stop saying gilt market as a safe haven? question.t is a good the rating agencies have flagged the downgrades were likely in
2:42 am
this event. the one thing we would say that's something that surprised a little bit was when we looked at our measures of international capital flows was that international investment demands for guilds has increased significantly all the way up to the vote. yes, we saw a lot of hedging in the currency but we saw no attempt on the part of international investors to reduce their holdings in guild. i don't think it happens today, but guilds the concern is a little bit, firstly because there is the uncertainty. no one likes. there is also this other factor which is instilling weakness will be through into inflation. inflation has artie accelerated in the u.k. next line -- u.k. guy: can i finesse that? did you get out of this market yet?
2:43 am
michael is going to stay with this. we are going to talk about sterling. up next, the not so great british pound. we are going to take a look at the outlook of a post brexit sterling. it today, we are going to speak a willie walsh, mayor of london. -- willie walsh. mayor of london, preventing.

2:48 am
it has been a stork week for sterling. the british pound has been driven into the ground along with the forecast for the rest of the year. it is up slightly this morning good michael metcalfe is global head of microstrategy's at global markets. he is still with us. fx fm on my bloomberg. i am taking it to one year out. the probabilities get quite interesting. this chart over here, the red is the implied probability of where sterling is. this is the analyst forecast north of 155. the whole thing shifts to the left a bit. there is still -- you look at options and how the market is pricing things. there's an upside probability for sterling from here. i have entered in -- i'm interested in why you think that is? michael: i think the first point is the fx options market is one of the few markets to really
2:49 am
discount the probabilities here. the events of being a big ball event. this chart, there is some speculation that will will ask a happen. will they trigger up? [indiscernible] you can figure out what the market probability of that is. you assume that if her some reason the u.k. do not eventually lead, you seem that sterling is back to 150 against the dollar. it shows what a low probability is period the other side, on the downside, there is 10% probability that we are below 1.20. guy: a fatter tail on the downside. >> we've seen this move already good when the analysts update the forecast in the next month,
2:50 am
this is going to be a massive skew on the last day. caroline: do you feel the rebound should be secure guy: where looking at relative -- should be secure? we are looking at relative strength. if you look at my chart, we are in oversold territory. we are below the 30 figure, only just 29 .7585. do you buy that technical indicator? buy a derivation of the technical indicator which is to think about investor positioning. one of the things we noted before the vote was that institutional investment had built up something of an underweight position. it wasn't that significant. if you look at the position of leavitt funds, what you see there is leavitt funds in aggregate on the currency
2:51 am
futures market was flat on sterling going into the -- one of the ways we read that is that investors both leavitt fund and institutional -- has capacity to sell more sterling. sterling would be able to be sold back to the massive movement. investors still have to act. they hold a lot of u.k. assets in their portfolios did given the ongoing desk portfolios. given the uncertainty, there might be still potentially or sterling sellers did one of the point -- sellers. one of the point i would make -- yes, sterling is cheap. against p2p a point that scares, you can get a 20% undervalued. guy: and to stay there for quite some time. michael, stay with us. thank you for your thoughts good

3:04 am
the banking sector. the sector is key that we get some stabilization. the question is whether that stabilization needs more promises from policymakers are not. maybe we get the bounce because it is a little bit oversold. it is important that we get reassuring words from the bank of england, reassuring words from draghi. guy: when is the policy response coming? what is the scale you are looking for? michael: some of the market , theyhave been backed cannot repeat that trick because of that was a one-time shift to a new policy. japan.ce is we focused on japan before brexit. the yen and nikkei have accentuated the need for the japanese policymakers to do something more and to take that policy response to the next step.
3:05 am
caroline: michael, talking from japan, shifting our gaze to the united kingdom, only one single stock is down on the ftse 100. it is a gold stock. look what is leading the charge. house builders trading higher. because lscbout m&a has been i doubt this has been i've up. are you into spitting that deal will get done? anticipatingre you that deal will get done? michael: -- actual evidence of the uncertainty on the up real economy. we have been using the m&a tracker on bloomberg. at the massive capital that is the phone into the u.k. a curious thing so far, it's a

that much evidence is year that m&a flow -- u.k. company has been the target of the inquirer. it hasn't fallen off that much. was stille lcd ongoing throughout this even though brexit was a possibility. -- even though brexit was a possibility. we will focus on the pace of m&a flows coming into the u.k. evidence that exit has changed real economy dynamics. guy: can we come back and talk about the policy response and what is happening in japan? draghi is going to be speaking and 55 minutes. what does he need to say? michael: draghi is the master of communicating with the markets their intention to do whatever it takes. it is that kind of like which. i suspect he will very forcefully say the ecb is there to support the banking system
3:07 am
and there to backstop any potential dangers. shields. is japanese 40 year, very aggressively over the past few days it the curve has been flattening for some time. this is the european curve starts to look like that? does the german curve start to look like that because of what is happening with brexit? draghi is going to be worried about brexit, but in some ways it is a piece in a wider puzzle. michael: there were many risks that the markets faced this year. brexit was one of them and it has realized. a euro this changes that -- that a low growth, low yield environment -- so far, not having much success. that is why we are seeing -- you see the impact of the curve. japan a vacation story -- the
3:08 am
nification story is everywhere. weoline: a phenomenal moves have seen in the probability of a rate hike versus a rate cut. there is 0% of a rate hike all the way out until november. cut beingrate affected in to a tune of 22%. willie get a rate cut from the united states -- will we get a rate cut from the united states? michael: it is incredible how in u.s. inings particular. the reason i highlight the u.s. is the fundamentals in the u.s. are actually a little bit stronger. if you think about where the fed is originally forecasting rates this year. i can september 2014, the duck blocks had the rates at 3% this
3:09 am
year. you look at the economic outcome -- the economic situation is not that different. the thing that is different is the global environment and financial conditions. response expected fed that's not really the real economy. look at the us-led market. generally the labor market is pretty tight. we're beginning to see signs of inflation. also remember, it wasn't that long ago, yes, fed officials have talked a lot about brexit. the officials have said clearly that they thought the interest rate market was underpriced for the chance of rate hikes. if brexit changes that a little bit, but unless you get a lot of systemic risk, it is a real puzzle to imagine the fed could cut rates. guy: michael, stay with us. michael metcalfe from state street.

3:20 am
at a new pipe to regulate airflow. that is basically what they have gotten away with. in the u.s., the reason they are being hit with such numbers is because the regulators want these cars off the road. saidu regulators have these cars are ok, they are fine. you can fix them. in the u.s., they said there is no agreement to fix the cars. that is why it is so much more onerous in the u.s.. that is why they have to come up with a big number to entice owners to get cars off the road. they want to give them back to volkswagen. that is the difference between the two jurisdictions. will wrap up the conversation. michael, i want to wrap things up with you. draghi speaks shortly. we're waiting to your what policy responses from the u.k. gives a sense of what you think the policy responses going to
