2:34 am
economic adviser. he joins us as our guest. is that wishful thinking that the whole thing will not be defined by brexit? >> it will be a challenge over the next three years. in terms of divorce, it will be a certain. there is no precedent for us. you get three ministers who were brexit tears through the campaign whose a job it is to try and extract the u.k. from the eu. we do not know exactly what the eu will want from the u.k. there is no precedent. -- deficit that u.k. has which is going to be difficult to fund over the next two to three years. many foreign companies don't come to the u.k. to sell to the u.k. people, they come to the u.k. to sell into the single market. with the uncertainty as to what the relationship will be to the
2:35 am
signal market, maybe some of that foreign investment will not be coming through so easily. by: we saw yesterday stocks other companies making similar noses. the cheapness of sterling means there are opportunities. market's fear that the -- there will be too many -- to a few companies coming through. exactly what would sterling do to the u.k. economy? we think about the fall of the pound. 2008, when the pound fell genetically, it wasn't so much the exports that picked up, it was the headlines rose. up with a much weaker domestic demand story. that important to stress are significant costs and adjustment costs in the u.k. itself.
2:36 am
guy: how would you manage the situation if you are mark carney? stephen: it is important for the bank of england to stress the world has changed. therefore it is important to stress the pound doesn't need to be lower temporarily but permanently. the implication is there that they will have to do something over the course of the next few weeks. i think the rate cuts first of all. if rate cuts don't work, your into more unconventional stuff. -- you are into more unconventional stuff. there are things like qe, funding for lending. to try and encourage more activity to expand the u.k. itself. at this stage, it might be the bank -- the treasury to do something, not just in terms of
2:37 am
monetary policy but fiscal policy. the message from philip hammond has been different from george osborne. we should be thinking about quite carefully. there is a recognition that the government itself can do something alongside the central bank to provide support for the economy. anna: stephen, i want to take it from outside the u.k., looking at the other side of the story, tom keene spoke exclusively to christine lagarde. she said after brexit, the pressure is now on here in europe to deliver. -- ishope of the european that the european leaders will find the strength and determination to bring about some of those structural reforms, changes that will deliver value to the europeans. that will devastate it is worth together.
2:38 am
-- it is worth being together. anna: a call for more europe. is europe going to be pulling together? would you feel the responses been for merkel and the remaining 27 countries of the eu? >> some of the mood music we have heard has been more encouraging than people might a feared a week ago. europeans recognize that u.k. is an important trading partner but the recognize if you give u.k. too hard a time, they also encourage more of europe. will -- all and ollande toerkel and h talk about how europe should be. france and the netherlands, you have a left-wing parties coming through. there are a lot of political uncertainties in the eurozone. it is important to stress that europeans recognize that are
2:39 am
still some difficulties out there. with a single currency, ideally you need to have a single fiscal policy, making union. these things are proving difficult to build. more integration to create further economic outcome. policies are moving in the opposite direction. each is not just a challenge for u.k. itself it also a challenge for europe. anna: have you been concerned about issues? some of the unintended consequences is shining a light on the italian banking crisis. do you think it is something that we worked out to prevent it from becoming a systemic issue? stephen: the last things european want is a systemic issue. when push came to show, the ecb would do anything it could do to
2:40 am
prevent sovereign bond markets from being turned into wayside currency markets. anything they can do to convince a systemic crisis can be done. the problem is it's time there has to be a policy initiative, it is coming in a kind of belated sense. there is no clear leadership at the moment. -- anythingening happens and then there is a response to events. let's just hope things won't happen. if they do, we have to response. -- will have to respond. manus: that is been the story for the last two years. stephen, stay with us. up next, turkish central bank has a difficult decision to make today. hold up on the rate cuts cycle. or act like it is business as usual. -- or act like it is business as usual.

2:46 am
turkey's central bank maybe thrown off course after the -- in the aftermath of the attempted coup. economists expect the pace of interest rate cuts to be slowed slowed.s can cut -- in the meantime, movies can cut turkey's credit rating to junk. -- how exactly has the coup attempt and the crackdown affected the growth outlook for the economy in turkey? at least it has raised some questions. the main question mark is over the issue of foreign investment into turkey which has done well in the first five months of the year. the next inflow in the first five months last year, there was a net outflow. the danger is if investors decide the political risks are , then there might be
2:47 am

2:49 am
concern going forward it how do you manage that story at the central bank? the pressure is on politically to cut rates. u.k. has astephen: deficit of 7% gdp. deficit is turkey much smaller than it was two or three years ago. manus: -- guy: that number is going to get larger. stephen: the current account deficit is not quite as big as it might've been. nevertheless, this is a thorny issue for the central bank. we'll see what happens today and --t people were thinking that is likely to see that now. we think so. we will see what happens. it is the usual thing which is you want to make sure there is an important domestic economy. that would suggest doing something for loosening monetary
2:50 am
policy. at the same time, you need to make sure the foreign investors are kept happy and not are going to -- and are not going to walk away suddenly. guy: is the weapon of choice still currency? is that the best way of handling this situation? the u.k. needs a cheaper currency. turkey needs a cheaper currency. isphen: the big difference inflation rate is still relatively high, a percent plus. -- 8% plus. nevertheless, you look at the history, the last three or four years, the so bank has been tried to kickstart their economies. cuts some interest rates. you're going to get a temporary game, it is going to come through via the currency. is already underway without the central bank doing nothing at all. they are doing an adjustment in

terms of the lira. events happen, currencies and just. just currencies at just. -- currencies adjust. technique to try and help them out. has --e: and a one erdogan has held his grip over the central bank. we are minutes away from the open. up next, we'll look at the movers in today's trade. we are going to be looking ahead to goldman sachs results. ♪

3:01 am
are pricing in the negative story here in europe this morning. let us go below the headline level to see what stocks are on the move. let us get the details from manus cranny. manus: is it a lack of stimulus? or is it a cause for breath? sachs is going to set the tender. thisll drop by about 18% year. perhaps there is a bump in fixed income trading at the end of the quarter it is not enough to pull the whole system higher. all securities are down by .2 part -- .25%. oil is back at $45. turkish stocks at the bottom of your screen. istanbul stocks down 7% yesterday. declining down by 1% today. i love what one of our editors
3:02 am
wrote today. turkey should not be confused with penny stocks. for me, it is about the fx story. new zealand dollar, aussie dollar -- down 40%. macro potential comes into play. the aussies are worried about growth. they may cut rates. the turkish lira should be at the bottom of your screen. moody's potentially cutting to junk. that will come through and hit the lira. lira, 2.98 at the bottom of your screen. a couple of trends. -- $45.17. take a look at some of the stocks on the move. erickson, sales down. krona -- more cost cuts to come.
3:03 am
novartis, profitability falls again. spending on one of their new drugs for your heart is where the money is being spent. up .25%. erickson down by 3.49%. zalando unchanged from yesterday. second quarter profit tops estimates. sales popped up by 26%. that is what the germans were doing while we were prevaricating whether we should running part of the european union. let us talk about what is happening in the u.k. manus just mentioning brexit. the brexit hangover maybe one of those things that mark carney cannot cure.
3:04 am
that is the view from hsbc which predicts that the uk's benchmark index will and the year down the year down end at around 70%. stephen king joins us. let us talk about what is actually happening here. allows you to put in the currency adjusted column. coming year to date up by 7%. in euro terms, down by 5%. slightly outperforming. the ftse is not a particularly good gauge of the british economy. haven't we are the scene the kind of reality of how markets price things and in some ways correctly coming through? the ftse is a largely dollar-denominated index. about 60%-70% of the ftse
3:05 am
earnings come from abroad. it is an international stock market. not a local market. it has a greater focus on what is happening in the u.k. we are seeing a kind of financial market reaction but we have not been a great deal in terms of an economic reaction. what does the foreign sterling do to the u.k. economy? u.k. aprofitability of contest u.k. companies over the next year -- or u.k. companies over the next year? --. consumers or companies hoping things will get better. that is increasingly unlikely. the output will be pretty poor in the next year or so. guy: you just said the ftse is foreign earnings taste and sterling needs to fall even
3:06 am
further. thet is easy to make calculation that as sterling immediately comes down, there will be an uplift. what is less clear is the extra u.k.,ich is although the or the ftse makes earnings abroad but it also makes a big chunk a tone. the chunk at home is what is uncertain. giving some context here -- before the brexit vote, hsbc forecasted our growth over 2%. after the vote, it is plus .7. there is a range of forecast from the negative to the positive. but they are all weaker than they were the asleep. if the data confirms in the next month, it will be a constraint on the 250 and to a lesser extent on the ftse also. the bad news still to come in terms of the economy. hsbc is talking about
3:07 am
paris and the hangover about to come. what about the hangover in germany and the rest of the eurozone and the eu? we have w numbers coming out later today. hit wide brexit. what about the longer-term rather than just the jew number? -- to be fair, there are small pieces of good news. hsbc's actions to drive down 10 year yields all over europe has relieved pressure with regard to debt service cost for the government. fiscal expansion this year. the extra bit of fiscal toansion has helped stabilize the euro zone economy even as the situation in other parts of the world is less encouraging. are a few nuggets of good
3:08 am
news out there associated with the fiscal side this year. longer-term, the eurozone still has significant difficulties. productivity growth is generally pretty poor. there are big questions about the institutions of government in the eurozone going back to my earlier comments. there are a lot of big issues out there. and big issues of political uncertainty. you have the italian constitutional referendum coming up later this year and all of the elections coming up next year. all of these are constraints on economic growth. thefor the time being, lower debt service costs and the expansion in the fiscal policy are good bits of news. 1% -- we up next, the talked a bold treasury call from
3:11 am
3:12 am
dax down by 0.4%. what about the online retailers? a macro move on this company. the top 16.93%. .assive outperformance in terms of the stock stories -- k+s down 3%. let us get you caught up on what you need to know. here is juliette saly. turkey central bank will slow the pace of interest rate cuts when it meets today. according to economist surveyed by bloomberg. after a failed coup, triggered a selloff in the lira, they are
3:13 am
expecting a .25% cut. exclusive interview, the imf chief christine lagarde said a quick response by turkey's policy makers helped to calm investors. >> the lira went down but not by much. in the main, there was an orderly functioning of the market. after something that was massively disruptive. juliette: welcome turnbull his cabinet have been sworn in by the government -- governor general in canada. he reshuffled his team after this month narrow election win. nintendo's market value has pushed past sony after a pokemon go rally lasting more than a week. nintendo's value has jumped 30 might -- $39 million. the act became a viral phenomenon.
3:14 am
on friday, the company set a record on shares sold in japan. global news 24 hours a day powered by our 2400 journalists in more than 150 news bureaus around the world. you can find more stories on the bloomberg at top . this is bloomberg. guy: it certainly is. thisn stanley called year's treasury rally and now they are getting more bullish. 10 year u.s. yields will fall to 1% in the first quarter of next year. that is the call. let us talk about this. showing you a few charts. this is the 10 year and these are predictions on where we will go. the green. is the morgan stanley call. at 1%. that is where the u.s. 10 year has been moving. this is the q1, 2017 average yield or cast. it has been coming down and down. the current number is 1.89%.
3:15 am
the direction of travel is very lower andds this ever morgan stanley says 1% level. hsbc's senior economic adviser joins us. -- it turns out he was right. is a reverse.ley it is a strange thing, isn't it? talk a bit about what is happening more globally. what is driving this number ever lower? we have seen the direction of travel. it has been going on for quite some time. it continues to confound. this lower and lower number. what is forcing us down to these levels? >> it has been going on for 15 years. qe andy, it predates
3:16 am
negative nominal interest rates and these experimental policies from the last few years. if you think about the conditions we have seen globally in recent years, they are more and more like the japanese. prices on growth, inflation, short-term interest rates. the inability of central banks to return to normalcy. all of these things are unique -- uniquely japanese. we have had similar conditions coming through in other parts of the world. the gap in what people forecast, nominal gdp would be in the actual nominal gdp. the gap amounts to about 25% after five years. shortfalls in growth and inflation. in the western world, the u.s. 18%,out 15%, france is
3:17 am
italy is 24% and spain is 30%. these are dramatically lower levels of nominal activity. means the lower the interest rates are likely to be. as populations get lower -- older, they are less focused on generating income. they like things like bonds. you drive yields down lower for that reason. guy: we have seen that clearly. a transformation of the entire global capital market into something that is much more like a traditional bond market and less like a capital risking equity market system. theline: we are looking at yield on the treasury. 1.56. morgan stanley think it will lose 0.5%. we can see just how much the u.s. is at odds with the rest of the world. you were speaking about japan.
3:18 am
still negative territory. that is the blue line. the purple line showing us where germany is currently trading. we have seen a slight pickup in those yields. u.s. have more then japan and germany? do you see the negative yields remaining for the rest of japan and germany unlike? >> both the central banks in europe and in japan are offering themselves negative short-term interest rates. that has had an impact further up the yield curve. we used to think traditionally that the u.s. was the kind of determineplace to yields and the rest of the world. aredevelopments elsewhere driving down yields. in the u.s. think about it. one of the consequences of
3:19 am
having negative rates elsewhere, the u.s. is importing deflationary pressures from the rest of the world. it cannot raise rates as much as it would like to. because it cannot, it also triggers downward pressure on 10 year yields. guy: very briefly, where would you expect the u.s. 10 year yield to be in 10 years? lower than where we are now? >> yes. we have buried though japan's diarrheal structural -- incredible story of yields. next, the pokemon go frenzy pushes nintendo to a higher value then sony and netflix. we will discuss the milestone and the technology,. this is bloomberg. next. the technology, this is bloomberg.
3:22 am
>> with new members, we have not had any changes to our prices. we have had a couple of quarters of great growth. this is around change resistance. whatever the price is for something, people do not like it to go up. in terms of new members which is what drives growth, the new pricing is working great. caroline: change resistance. that is reed hastings, defending the raising of netflix prices.
3:23 am
netflix stumbled so much less night after the company said the price increase cut subscriber growth. a 14% slump. it was a phenomenal fall. check out my screen. it sent shivers down investors spines. point six 8 million subscribers being added, lower than what they expected. they wanted to see more than 2 million added overseas. look at the slump we saw. down from 13%. putting it into perspective. when hundredr, 60,000 added in terms of the united states. a much lower than previous number. this is the slowest growth seen in three years. people do not like change. perspective,to check out where we saw in
3:24 am
netflix shares come from in the last five years. 12% fall may not be road that much. that much.erode end.another nintendo. post pokemon rise go. absolutely sensational. we built this chart this morning, we were talking about pokemon lifting nintendo past sony. let us role netflix into this. valuations.rket netflix valuation is around 42 billion. now, nintendo has done that as well. let us zoom in. , bluerple line is netflix line sony, and the white line is nintendo. they have all crossed. nintendo has gone north of what is happening with netflix.
3:25 am
maybe the story of last year which made so many investors so much money may need a new end and that could be nintendo. let us bring in stephen king to talk about innovation. we talked about stagnation and the economic story going forward from here using incredibly low rates. what are you we this reading --misreading? no one saw this coming. what could change this stagnation, this economic demographic problem we now face? >> we found one of those little pokemon rings in my garden the in my-- pokemon things garden the other day. slightly disturbing. the winner take all process in the global economy. people have become rich at this. in they are relatively few
3:26 am
number. in the u.s., new technologies are driving out white-collar clerical workers who are going into occupations which are lower skilled, probably below their own level, and creating a downfall in wages. one reason why donald trump has become popular with many people. important in terms of income redistrict -- redistribution. technology is transforming our lives in terms of a non-market sense. it changes our habits. there are positives but also significant negatives. gdp is not reflecting the technology story partly because of the redistributive effects. guy: we have had the negative. have we had the positive? >> they are get to come. we asked -- we compare growth

3:36 am
uncertainty about the jobs outlook, the housing price slowdown we are expecting and also a rise in sterling increases import prices. it is a combination of those three factors that leads us to say that consumer spending will slow markedly in the next 18 months. caroline: sam, give us a sense of where you see the eu and the euro trading? corporate doing in terms of their own fx analysis? stage, theyt this are still trying to take stock of whether they have the right hedges in place for going down the line. if you think about the precipitous move we had in sterling, that will have huge translation impacts from a u.k. perspective. there will be some winners, some losers. are trying to
