we have a positive day when it comes to the equity session. we will have a look at the markets over all. let's start things off with what is going on the moment. vote in europe, does it represent a shock, or is it a potential genuine crisis? i think you are absolutely right, somewhere in between. at the moment, it is to early to tell if it will be a permanent shock to the market. 50 has beenticle invoked, all the discussions surrounding the brexit will be

more politically driven than market-driven. you can see there is quite a bit of a leadership struggle within the u.k. as of now, it will still be a shock to the market. see volatilityly over the next week or so. rishaad: the thing is, what is going to be the catalyst? get thatt trying to article 50 through at the moment and presenting it to brussels. does that seem to be a prospect in the near future? are trying to come together with a model that will mitigate the impact of brexit. i think there are several ideas floating around. you have a norwegian model, where the u.k. can join the european economic area.

but that in itself is also problematic because it still member to implement the rules of the eu, including free movement, which is something that people who voted brexit are unhappy about. criteria's oncter the people coming into the u.k., so probably this norwegian model is not going to be of interest among those people who are pro-brexit. rishaad: let's have a look at the impact of all this. we have seen how the money has rushed into the dollar and the yen. does this continue? >> there is still a lack of guidance and clarity on how the u.k. will proceed. risk aversion is the

order of the day despite what we , where thevernight european and u.s. indices both rallied, gold coming back down, the sovereign bonds also coming back down, but risk aversion is still present in the market sentiment in the financial markets, so i think this short-term rally will not last too long. we will probably see a return to risk aversion in the coming sessions. rishaad: what are we talking about here? are we seeing further strength in the yen? other other currencies also likely to be impacted? >> in terms of currency, more strengthening in the yen is still problematic because investors are also fearing intervention from the boj, especially if the dollar-yen goes below 100.

that fear it self is holding investors back from pushing the dollar-yen lower, so we probably need to see a catalyst, maybe more developments on how the u.k. will proceed before we see another large movement in the currency markets. all right, let's have a look at what it means for fed policy. that is the next event risk on the horizon. it's probably likely that janet yellen and company will do nothing. probabilityre's a at the moment being factored in that possibly we see a cut rather than a hike. according to the futures market, it seems the probability is possible from the fed. qe isopinion, another

probably not going to do a lot more in terms of helping them markets mitigate against the .ffects of brexit itself should not be much of a solution. what i think is probably the response to all the risks from not, willtualized or be a coordinated action from the central banks of the world. i think the g7 itself, they have at least agreed not to intervene in the fx markets unless absolutely necessary. they will ensure liquidity and the financial system through additional easing in their monetary policy. rishaad: great talking to you. ig asia in singapore. >> the latest first word

because they don't want to be so high in cash holdings. they are putting that cash to work. that does not mean this is a sustained rally. athink this could just be relief rally, and i would not be surprised that things start moving down again in the third quarter. the readwhat is through here for the rest of the markets? hedge funds come to the end of the quarter, tomorrow is the key day where they will assess returns. this is what they will send to their shareholders, how much they made and how much they lost. then people will ask for their money. it takes a while. liquidates need to assets. the more to liquidate liquid stuff, gold, treasuries, investment bonds.

big surprise when that happened. i thought about it. the real economic consequences created up to the event. the direct consequence was the weakening of the sterling and also the euro. that will continue for a while. the japanese economy has dealt with this many times over the past two decades. the japanese corporations are well prepared for this type of event. whetherlem here is not they are prepared or not. the problem is they were too well prepared. the bank of japan and the prime minister had to open up a line. the japanesehis, authorities, including the boj, will face new challenges.

understood by our government and the central bank. i have to say this is the very first government, and also the central bank of japan, clearly aware of this issue. they will commit to induce the new set of normal inflation environment. so after this event, i don't think the policy will change. things will be unchanged. reallyld be convinced to look for the new opportunities in this country, which i think they are abundant, these opportunities. >> name some of them please, sir. if you look over the past decade or so, the companies that have been aggressive opening markets abroad made a very big success. those companies which opened up the market aggressively and very aggressive leadership.
