>> we have goldman who said recently, sticking to their forecast that prices will move between 45 and 50 through mid-2017. they are forecasting a modest deficit between supply and demand. they are sticking to their guns at the moment. the biggest risk is the end of that seasonal demand. period.d labor day is the end of it. how it moves from there is the question. rishaad: thank you so much. we have to move to some of the other stories. another fed president putting the prospect of a rate hike back , keeping that on the table. call fromthat is the robert kaplan, the dallas fed president.

rishaad: let's check back on the market. thank you for joining us. let's start with the big show in

town. suggesting the solution out of japan is a binary one. you do not like it as an asset class. maybe not the whole thing. the issue for us, there are two issues. they are all so correlated. the yen trade is the same as the nikkei trade, which is not helpful. the only thing we are sure of, japanese assets are unlikely to stay where they are. that, the yenet strengthens massively. getting rewarded for the risk you are taking, we do not think so. even when you have got

$270 billion plus as a stimulus package on the cards, that is not helping the yen. when i say helping, i mean weakening. surprise?oming as a anticipated. on its own, it is a good thing. it is not something we have seen policymakers use much of post 2008 world. is it coming as a surprise to policymakers? that is why we see the yen react the way it is. unless they do something that comes as a big surprise to market, it is tough to see what would move the yen in the opposite direction. rishaad: a weaker dollar is one thing which has been responsible

for the strength of the yen. supposing we get more bullish, hawkish words out of the fed, that could change as well. >> absolutely. that could help in the short-term. if we get some more hawkish language out of the fed, we could see a bit of a bump to the u.s. dollar. dovish.ions are quite unjustifiably so. that would help in the short term. it does come down to beyond that how markets -- the yen also perceived in the box of the safe haven assets. there is a risk that will work against the yen once again. take a look should at stocks on a selective basis and mary that to getting rid of

rid ofy back to getting some of the -- >> absolutely. we have done a little bit more constructive on gold. we firmly see it as a hedge against unexpected outcomes. we hope we do not need to use it. we do believe gold is in a higher range. as we have seen the bouts of volatility, that is only think gold will come into its own and prove its worth in the broader market. more and more, it does hold a place in well constructed investment allocation.

rishaad: what will it take to break out of that range? you are advising people to buy more gold at the bottom of that range. at holdings toward the bottom -- add holdings toward the bottom of the range. a weaker dollar has been a trigger. post brexit, it was a demand for safe havens that drew gold much higher. the conversation we are having around the fed, labor market, it is wage growth. that has been one relationship to push goal higher -- gold higher as well. adding abe happy

modest holding rishaad:. seeing:are you still investors pouring into these gold etf's? if so, why? into acan see it flows wide range of gold related assets. with the equity and the bond markets. ultimately, the way of implementing the same thing. what is interesting, on one hand, you see demand for the commodity itself. in the equity and bond sectors, you are seeing selective examples of deleveraging. now that is a very different story. but that is looking equally interesting. selectivedings very on how we do that. rishaad: great talking to you, as ever. let's check on the latest

worse than what we had in may. we take a look at why exports 2%. fallen, imports rising interesting such a blowout. we will have a little more on these numbers later on. another number, building approvals for the month of june, down 2.9%. data. disappointing this will play into what the reserve bank of australia will be thinking today. the cash rate decision. it is not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination. paul: not at all. surveyed sayists we will have a cut.

they are becoming more divided in their opinions. last week's cpi was not great. inflation in australia is the weakest in 17 years. it was not as bad as the one australia had back in may. there is the surging aussie dollar to consider. growth is still reasonably solid. plenty here for the rba to consider. rishaad: thank you very much for that. let's get reaction to that trade number out of australia. here is david. i will not stand here for tent it is very exciting. it has been on the way down. the currency markets, not just the bond markets, not just the

swap. reaction, nothing really there. a little bit of a spike, there we go. index.look at the one-year high, by the way. flat.t the bond markets, we have the 10-year. there we go. 1.84%. that is basically at a record low. a lot of that has to do with the fed -- all of the easing happening across the world. let's have a look at the currencies in the region. the dollar-yen, that is the

a little bit of a pullback after six straight days of gains. rishaad: it has been seen by some as the decision to wave the white flag in china. we are talking uber. it could bring the company closer to an ipo. valued at 35ons million dollars. what brought about uber's decision to get out? uber puttingn as up the white flag? >> i think the thing with investors, they felt it was inevitable they would have to get out. it is the kind of market where winner take all. they only had about a 20 or 30% share of the market. when you're standing on the streets of beijing or somewhere

in china and you are wanting to call a car, you will have to open up the one app that will have the most cars. didi were spending buckets of cash. executivesiving the the pressure to sign the deal and move on so they can focus on elsewhere in the world. focus on the turn to profitability. rishaad: it is a huge market, must be a tough pill for some of these uber investors to swallow. disappointment. the fact they got out now instead of waiting another couple of years allow them to

negotiate and deal so they could sell. they could have just waited it out and burned uber to the ground and uber would've had to retreat without anything. in this case, the investors are not leaving empty-handed. they get a stake in didi. that could be very valuable going forward. they will be huge and one would expect that sometime in the future, they will ipo. if they turn profitable, that profit would flow back into uber and investors. they are not leaving empty-handed. this is a great outcome for shareholders. reminiscent of yahoo! and its investment in alibaba, but that is another matter.

ubere any nearer to an ipo? >> i would think so. it should precipitate the timeline. we do not know exactly when they are planning to do it. give -- get a to next that at some point. they will be very keen to get an ipo going. the kind of thing that will that.itate as you turn to profitability, it is much easier to go to the markets and say, this is something you want to be part of. get in now. easier tods will be do and push up the valuation even higher. rishaad: thank you for that. the mergingber and of its china operations with

didi. a mixture of disbelief and some anger. juliette: it seems like a lot of anger. we had on twitter a lot of journalists and analysts speculating this could happen a few weeks ago. there was this disbelief that they would actually tie up. if you have a chance to be alley and amazon-- alibaba at the same time, why wouldn't you? this is what we are seeing from users as well, quite angry about this. calling it a monopoly. a little bit more anger coming

through from this user saying businessman are evil. the whole point of the deal is profitability. there has been a little bit of anger coming through on the chinese social media side. that.d: thank you for let's take a look at china's airlines. selling local currency bonds. exposure torn their the u.s. dollar. further yen weakness? >> it is, to some degree. it was also about a sector that was badly burned last year.

back then, the sector had a u.s. 80% and theyabout have been trying to trim that. in the last seven months, we have seen them selling around 16 billion u.s. dollars worth of local currency bonds, five times the amount we saw last year. this is the right approach, this deleveraging does need to happen even if the depreciation meets the selling off. it is still a preferential route than holding onto u.s. debt holdings. rishaad: the question is, why have these airlines built up so much dollar debt?

>> they have to borrow dollars to pay for the aircraft. by vast majority of paid for u.s. dollars. at air china and china southern, if you look at u.s. dollar, gain or loss of around 5%, it translates into a gain or loss of around half a billion u.s. dollars for those airlines. if you look at air china, they will be cutting their u.s. to nami to debt -- denominated debt to around 60%. that is part of the deleveraging process. this is expected to expand even further. they are looking at 6300 purchases between now and over the next two decades worth around a trillion u.s. dollars.

as long as they keep that to a minimum, that will be preferential. mackenzie in beijing. we have to take a break. operator,op hotel joining us next. ♪
