5:01 am
londonancine lacqua in with tom keene in new york. one thing that surprised me this so -- ifo the east report out of germany and there is a huge brexit angle as it seems to have doubled -- affected german confidence. tom: the nuances of the market are very subtle. since you have been gone the one idea is euro rolling over to parity, one of our themes today. it is an odd monday. francine: it is going to be a very big week. let's get to the bloomberg first word news. authorities and germany are trying to figure out if a bomb explosion is linked to terrorism. a refugee blew himself up near a music festival and 12 people were wounded. he had been denied asylum last
5:02 am
year but was allowed to stay in refugee housing. meanwhile, police in munich are questioning a friend of a teenager who went on a shooting rampage. there is speculation the friend may have known plans of the attack. loner been described as a obsessed with playing video games. controversy overshadows the start of the dnc today. debbie wasserman schultz will resign at the end of the week over leaked e-mails. messages show that staffers favored hillary clinton and undermined bernie sanders. for months, sanders supporters have been collated for her that have been calling for her resignation. australia will not let its athletes stay in rio de janeiro. olympic officials say repairs will be completed this week.
5:03 am
global news 24 hours a day, powered by our 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am taylor riggs. this is bloomberg. tom: let's do a monday data check. equities, bonds, currencies, commodities. 1.59%, a risk on feel. euro weaker as the major idea out of last week, 10 -- 1.0983. 46 toehow migrated from 43.92 four oil. the dollar fractionally strong. 43.94 in oil. the german 10 year back and forth into a negative and positive. francine, you messed nothing on your eight week -- maced -- missed nothing on your eight
5:04 am
week vacation. francine: european equities are resuming their rise. confidence data in germany is one of the strongest stories of the day. yen, when 06.31. governor kuroda has so much so manybecause -- problems because the market has priced in. the bloomberge on is where francine began her eight week vacation -- i am kidding, it is the euro. 2014, 2013. the parity watch. did not happen. we were supposed to follow the yellow line and go down to somewhere. weaker euro. it did not happen. we have had a turning, stronger euro but with the recent you lookin currencies,
5:05 am
at currency flows as well as relative interest rate, part of our theme today. we have the gentleman from citigroup coming up. francine: you are right, the big focus is on yen and all of these currency moves and whether we will see the start of a dollar rally. .his is my terminal i picked out verizon, the blue line, and yahoo!. if you bring it back to the beginning of 2000 before the dot first, yahoo! was valued more than verizon. end this fightto with a 4.8 billion dollar deal. for more on yahoo! and verizon and the market in general, let's get to james bevan. great to speak to you. james: great to be here. francine: it seems that central
5:06 am
banks will definitely give an indication, the fed and boj, on whether it is time to buy. james: i think neither will take any action this week, both will leave rates unchanged, and the boj will -- francine: ken governor kuroda afford to disappoint the markets? james: he should not go further into negative interest rate. that has already proven to be a disaster. the amount in japanese government bonds that are available for purchase as now small. the idea that he might ramp up the purchase rate with a near absence of fresh supply, and actually that would be taken badly by the markets. tom: i do want to ask you about equities. on the foreign exchange world, when i look at euro rollover, does it signal anything or is it just good old hot summer noise?
5:07 am
james: i think there is a lot of hot summer noise but equally we should not underestimate the actions of the european central bank, a substantial amount of money mr. draghi is spending, or europe debt. out, weumbers coming anticipate around 5%. that would be a great show of result but the longer he goes on buying germinated -- euro denominated assets, -- tom: i want to bring up paris. this is a chart of sterling versus swiss. it looks like euro but a lot more accentuated as the swiss franc as strong. the brexit drop over there on the right side.
5:08 am
where does this go? does the safe haven play continue through the late summer? james: i certainly think it does. one of the things about the international picture, global investors look at the u.k. and do not want any part of his assets. i think international investors who want to buy was frank assets in the government market -- swiss franc assets in the government market are bonkers. however, it is very clear that people would rather have a confident swiss franc. francine: why are they pushed to hold negative? is it cheap money or does it mean we are not pricing things right? james: we stopped pricing things right a long time ago. even before the global financial crisis, risk was poorly priced.
5:09 am
undertaking new and more ingenious methods trying to get the market moving, of which negative interest rates are just one park -- part. francine: should we be a marine -- more worried about inflation in the u.k.? we have poor economic data, that could be quite hard, and then you have this inflation that is starting to get worse. francine: -- james: i think we absolutely will face a combination of stagnation and rising inflation. goods and services have been around the rate of two percentage points but they have been held down because the cpi in global trade has been in deep deflation. in global terms, that deflation persists but if you adjust for the currency we will get a big deflationary purge and i think we will see rising inflation.
5:10 am
that the u.k. government bond market has been quite so relax? tom: why is it? puzzle, theresaw seems to be an underlying confidence that the u.k. will move forward. are you surprised? i am not surprised insofar as u.k. economy can continue forward. the government has only issued an sterling and we can afford a currency devaluation in a way would haveeconomies material problems if they go through a devaluation. of brexit the risks have been underestimated in hard economic terms but will take longer to play out. when i think about markets, i see central banks that are very supportive. i see very low rates of interest , meaning the companies will buy each other and indeed their own shares rather than allowing
5:11 am
prices to fall too far. francine: james bevan, thank you. he stays with us. a discussion with the beef o institute president -- ifo institute president. can they withstand brexit? ♪

5:15 am
bring over the bloomberg. this is the inflation adjusted compounding everybody up. james, i give you great credit for your many appearances saying you have got to stay within the market. as the market going up because of central-bank action or because everybody is missing earnings resiliency due to cost control? james: i would say it is a combination and a further factor which is the underlying economic numbers are genuinely better than many people have called. it does seem clear that the agenda is certainly market positive and we should not expect central banks to play the brakes to deliver recessionary big -- conditions. that is only because we are not seeing any real signs of overheating. on the second issue of companies
5:16 am
, it is clear they are taking advantage of low cash rate in order to be able to pay back their own shares and that is producing a groundswell of support for equities. risk premium are at elevated levels and it is hard to see why there would be a material selloff in the bond market anytime soon in the context of the low outlook and interest rates. and allook at this weekend, i got grilled on this by people. all weekend, this absolute disbelief in the market. is your framework a double-digit game from here? does it capture the dividend and hope they do not go down? what is the bull market framework? marketevaluations in the , u.s. equities can remain as they are. 5%ething on the order of compound growth over the next several years and i am anticipating u.s. equities can
5:17 am
rise about five percentage points this year and next year. certainly substantial in the context of low money rates and almost no inflation. francine: well european stocks , becaused, or earnings of currency swings and brexit, to make a decent amount of money? i see not a single market in any reasonable context. i see germany running a current account kerplunk -- serve blacks, not -- surplus. a black hole for the wealth of europe. i see plenty of opportunity for the residential real estate , continues tony do extremely well. if i had to pick a sector that would perform well, that would be it. i worry about the italian banking system.

5:22 am
francine: this is bloomberg "surveillance." francine lacqua in london, tom keene in new york. i missed you so much i picked out something in u.s. politics in my morning must-read. times, writing about the u.s. presidential race, if this is a race between a career politician and a demagogue it should be no contest at all. the problem is a big swath of the u.s. electorate possibly a majority view mrs. clinton and mr. trump as equally flawed. followed from afar but i did follow the republican convention and it seems more of years than in previous
5:23 am
and i think we underestimated the fact that donald trump could become president. tom: that was out there. particularly reaffirming the past for mr. trump -- path for mr. trump to become our president, it is not implausible. notas been strong on underestimating the reality that mr. trump can do in the certain states. it sets up a more interesting philadelphia. all i know is that while you were gone i was on air every day going, i am your voice. i got no traction with that message. francine: one of the funnier things i heard this morning is let's see whether bill clinton replicates what melania drop -- trump does. on a serious point, i do not
5:24 am
know what the markets do with a donald trump presidency. doesn't mean we will see more fiscal spending? america or a diverse because of u.s. politics, the ship will be steady? james: i will get back to what mr. trump did and said. he was very selective in the data he brought to the table, the sources, and the time frames over which those data were cut. within them there were kernels of truth and he has put his finger on the pulse of the american people and said, you are not happy so you should vote for me. wall street is basically saying everything is all right. the american people do not feel that and i would suggest he is touching the same nerve that the brexiteers touched within the u.k.. big surprise about the brexit results, take surprise that trump was able to gain so much
5:25 am
traction in america with flawed data. when he is elected, he has a populist agenda. tom: the agenda has to do with our financial system. financial system and trade legislation, is that just pushed down the road? james: when i think about strategic reform that is required to keep the global economy going, i certainly believe mr. trump wants to negotiate very hard with sources of deflation. therefore having caused the american people some grief, so we do have to have the structural form to make sure so as ever,ade -- mr. trump has a kernel of truth in what he is saying. tom: the democratic news of the weekend with watterson scholz out overnight, really most
5:26 am
interesting as we go to philadelphia. james bevan will continue with us through this hour. looking forward to speaking about the equity markets, on philadelphia. i need a done will join us -- i dunn will jointa us in a bit. let me do a data check. i am looking at oil and the euro, they are very interesting as we begin this monday, a five-day work week and with a fed meeting on wednesday. a beautiful sunrise in new york. ♪

5:32 am
program, because i am a little surprised but it seems that german companies took it in stride. fromou expecting fallout brexit on german exports or german confidence coming at a later stage? i think this may well come at a later stage. the current business situation is stable, but expectations have weekend and export expectations have weakened, so there may be or to come. francine: do you expect mario draghi to add more stimulus? there may be more stimulus coming. if it comes from the ecb, it may drive down the exchange rates and that would make it easier for the export industry to recover, to at least avoid a
5:33 am
reduction. growinge side effects that might be negative. thatine: are you concerned there seems to be very little that upsets the markets, and a lot of the times, this is what households are looking debt. -- looking at. there a concern that a lot of households continue spending beyond their means, just because they are in a false sense of security? initial this may be an for other countries more than other countries like germany and france because most household to not hold a lot of shares. some do hold real estate, but there is little trading. this is more of a concern for the u.s. economy than the european economy.
5:34 am
house prices are being driven up by this monetary policy, and if this bubble bursts, that may be a concern. tom: i look in germany, i look at the euro rate, where is the appropriate euro valuation against the dollar for germany? clemens: it would certainly be higher than the current valuation, something around 1.25. the eurozone as a whole is weaker than the german economy. the euro is undervalued, but on an export dynamic basis, where do you want it to be? you have to keep the export sheen going. -- export machine going. constructions -- construction is booming, and there is a concern with this
5:35 am
very low euro exchange rate, the german economy is being distorted towards too much exporting. we have a huge export surplus. actively,ing pursued that it is a side effect of the low euro exchange rate. francine: thank you so much for joining us. facts --us on the affects -- fx. when you look at dollars, maintaining before the fed and boj, what you expecting those central banks to do? richard: the fed has to knowledge a better guesstimate -- domestic environment. it has been running at the top
5:36 am
end of the spectrum since 2013. they have to say the domestic improvement remains on track. it is the international concerns the market thinks will keep the fed from sounding too hawkish. we have seen the balance of a strong domestic environment operating its from europe, u.k., and japan, so we still go into a dollar positive. francine: will that end up being a dollar rally? in the short-term yes, but in the longer term, it will come down to do central banks remain on hold or do we see the doj expand policy and ultimately expectations for the ecb start to build again. taperingd a good job them at the last ecb meeting, and when it comes to this week, does the doj deliver enough and next week, does the bank of england deliver enough? when i look at where we are
5:37 am
in foreign exchange and i think -- think of your great work on cross rates, the interesting thing is sterling swissie. brexit going on in versus the might of switzerland. if you look at that pair, is that the greatest opportunity amid the tumult of the summer? richard: would look at the swiss and put out a report. we have seen a significant amount of eurozone concerns crop up. swiss has not really traded defensively. the point that out as one of the success rates of the policy, that that is -- has limited any that weswiss rally should normally be picking up in these environments. instead, that rally has been bleeding into the dollar and the japanese yen.
5:38 am
we see further downside on sterling. snb has really shown us, so far. tom: when you look at swiss versus the mess of europe, does it lead you to reinvigorate a parity call on the euro? thosed: euro has all surpluses, the same as japan does, so every time investors it in an really try to short the euro, you have to beat the current account consistently, not for one or two weeks, but for a month over month basis and to do that, you need to get more just basement out of european assets. we can eventually get there, but it is a very slow path as investors are confident that the
5:39 am
confidence needs to go up and ecb policy needs to change. francine: win over going to see investors take on riskier positions? overall, do we need a catalyst or something to happen for investors to feel a little bit better about the world? richard: when it comes to broadness and emerging markets, risk or things like that, you will need to see policy expanded. a lot of the positions that went on in the last two or three weeks when you saw that long e.m. was predicated on g5 liquidity. it is up to central banks to deliver on that and you will likely see more capital lows follow those central bank decisions. you have to be concerned there will be a little bit of a risk pairing over the short term.
5:40 am
when people begin to look at high data in emerging markets and riskier investments, you will need see a civilization in global trade volumes and that will have to begin to uptrend and people get more confident on growth, that is worthy risk rally comes from. right now, it is still based on liquidity and we would like to see it based more on fundamental growth. francine: thank you so much. up, after turkey's failed coup, we hear about the future of the country. the illicit purge is nearing its end. ♪

5:44 am
bottom line, there is a clear concern amongst investors that the president will tighten his grip on power, that this purge is just an excuse to grab more power. as he and the prime minister assured you that this so-called purge is coming to an end? he had a line where he said the state of emergency is not the state of emergency on the turkish population, but the turkish state to clean, to purge the turkish government institutions of follower of the -- followers of the preacher from the u.s. when it comes to people's individual rights, they will play it by the book, so policy is going to be taken
5:45 am
through parliament and through reforms they're trying to pursue, they will not use the state of emergency to accelerate that. basically he is saying the country is open for business, is that a -- if i am a big foreign investor, why should i believe him? it is a valid question. s&p downgraded on a basis of political uncertainty. the markets today are doing a bit better but last week, they did rather badly. there is uncertainty about the path forward and this is what the interview was about, this is why the prime minister came to us and talk to us about the way forward, to give investors that reassurance. tom: alike about how he spoke

about the turquoise carpet, i guess that is the turkish riviera. did you ask can get the detainees are sleeping on turquoise carpets? thousands update on of people, some of the photos have been horrific. the latestriad: numbers are about 13,000 people detained, upwards of 50,000 people removed from their jobs as a result of this purge. he has said that that should be coming to an end and most people havere linked to the coup been detained and we are seeing reports of some of the conscripts involved having been released. the judiciaryid is working on that and it is one of the reasons they have a state of the. -- state of emergency. worst ofted that the

it may be open -- over. tom: thank you so much. we continue to distill this. what i see is uncertainty and if i am a business officer and i see the difference tories, turkey on and on, i want to pull it in and be more cautious. james: i'm not sure cautious is necessary, i look at some great opportunities in asia-pacific. i look at taiwan semiconductor, on hypothesis -- precision, every chance of being able to take apple over the next decade, but as you look at the amount they spend on research, it is a reasonable idea. those opportunities may be regarded as risky, but if you want to make serious money of the next decade, trying to decide whether you should be in

credibility in the idea that daily trust was going to be a buyer. to me, this was a story that was always going to end up with this sort of endgame, because we now know that the telecommunication company, content is king. the yahoo! customer base was not delivering on the value that it should represent to a more broad -- integration essentially requires the ceo to step down. on: it is a fed day, wednesday, and we need certitude. we willitude is that not adjust the birth rate of the united states of america. >> we have done our part, already. james: the problem is this is

branch, and judicial branch. i am confident those are in place. state, arement of part of the executive branch. speaking, both state and defense contribute to checks and balances. but at the end of the day it is executive branch against judicial branch, standing against legislative branch. those are the foundations of the republic. i am confident that they will weather any storm that is coming. francine: if donald trump wins, embolden russia and vladimir putin? james: i think it will. of whatest round happened at the dnc, in crime you have to say does motive meet opportunity? you have to be pretty suspicious of russian activity. it looks kind of supportive of

in a way that really does help everybody. not only that, but that she has the abilities to do that. what you will see in the convention this week will be both her ideas for moving the country forward, but also people will talk about her effectiveness in getting things done. those are two things the opposition does not have. tom: thank you so much. anita dunn. with senator obama, truly back when it was hope and audacity. coming up, mark halperin and john heilemann, "with all due respect," 5:00 p.m. this is bloomberg. ♪
