1:07 am
we are up 0.4%. well off the high of the session. japanar bond auction in drew fairly high coverage. four and half times the yield. people are still lining up around the corner to buy debt yielding you basically nothing. that is an important point to make. two-year yields over japan is falling. equities looking like this across the region. a decent session across asia if it were not for the fact that there were low volumes. 20% thinner in terms of trade compared to what we are used to seeing this time of day. setting us up for what could likely be a more interesting september. september has not been kind to equities but it sets us up for something more interesting.

1:09 am
convince the congress not to impeach her, is there any possibility of that? does not seem to be the case. she gave a very emotional and very intense speech yesterday. as she was widely expected to do in brazil but she did not bring anything new. people are expecting the procedures to happen as they were supposed to. and the acting president right believes that he has 60 votes against her, that are in favor of her impeachment. which would mean that he would be the president through 2018 if that happens. so even though her speech was very intense and very strong, it seems like things will not
1:10 am
change from what we previously knew. anna: when do we get the final results? it seems the purse -- the process has been a long one. will it really be over later today? >> that might take a while. we have more than 50 brazilian senators that have are the signed up to speak publicly in the senate about the whole impeachment process. senators against her and there are supporters of her case into brazil -- in the brazil senate as well. the team of the acting president believes this could be over by the end of the day. but there is no guarantee that it will actually be done either. know for surely the voting later today or early tomorrow morning.
1:11 am
manus: the markets have had a nice run every time the impeachment draws closer. we have had this whole impeachment discussion happening in brazil since the end of last year. the local currency and the main stock benchmark in brazil have both rallied this year. they are among the top performers globally mainly because investors believed this would happen. they believe this is necessary for brazil to get out and recover from the deep economic recession we are seeing in the country right now. so there is a big expectation within the markets that this is just a formal procedure. that it will be over in a matter of a day. reactsets should not differently from what we have seen so far.
1:12 am
actually, as a good example of this, we saw the currency and the market both climbed yesterday after she spoke in the senate. there is not much surprise. markets and the investors are tending to look at right now is how he will view the support for his own government from now on. anna: thank you very much. our emerging market reporter. cio of the investment management. great to see you. let us talk about the brazilian story. the closer we look to be to the final rejection of president rousseff, the more appetite we seem to see for brazilian assets. how strong is the brazilian investment case for you? >> there is quite a bit of hope in those prices and more blame on the president then what may
1:13 am
actually be factually the case. there is still quite ahead for the brazilian economy. just like we saw the slide last year -- anna: are they vulnerable? >> they are no more than fairly priced. manus: it is the best performing index in terms of equities. looking at the corporate bonds. the have delivered 23% this year. is that a reach for yield or a relief as it were in terms of a political state of play? will these rallies run out of steam? >> it is a combination of hope and reach for yield. sloshing hot money around. until we see some actual factual
1:14 am
revival of the brazilian economy, i would be a bit careful. anna: it seems like brazil stands alone with the things theirrive interest in assets and their investment case in terms of the politics. the broader emerging market story, how attractive is that you at a time when the fed is likely to have a rate hike by the end of the year? thatere is always the risk with a dollar rise, it would be bad for the emerging markets. time there is a bit more positive momentum in the emerging market economies. there is more momentum and positive demand around the world so i am not white is concerned the time that we will have same backlash against emerging markets as we had in the past. to getwe are going stanley fischer on bloomberg tv later today. great weight of
1:15 am
expectation in terms of what he is going to say about to rate hikes. ,ooking at the short interest short interest on emerging-market stocks. 3%? short interest is declining quite aggressively. our emerging market ready for the potential of a stanley fischer swipe and to hikes -- and two hikes? two rate going to get hikes? i am not convinced. a lot will depend this week on the employment figures coming out of the u.s. i think what i am reading out of is thata at the moment the emerging markets are not quite as vulnerable anymore to the dollar going up as they were in the past. anna: what are you expecting from the payroll number? august payrolls have a history of disappointing. i think we have got this
1:16 am
graphic. jp morgan pointing out that august often disappoints. some people like that seasonal statistic. what do you think? are we going to get something that will allow the fed to hike? above the as it is 150,000 mark -- anna: that is quite a low bar. >> the market is expecting 180,000. that is the consensus. i would be surprised if we got a lot less. but the nonfarm payrolls are quite volatile. anna: remember may. manus: it would be nice to get the job report off the table and jackson hole and then i think we can reset in terms of what happens next. >> indy. . am not currently -- indeed i am not currently convinced
1:17 am
that we will get that height. -- manus: we have stanley fischer, janet yellen. at for september but there is high expectation. anna: and there is the small matter of the u.s. election. thank you very much for that analysis. here are some highlights for your day ahead. manus: the bank of korea at 8:00 a.m. inflation data out of spain. and a half later, mortgage improvements. cpi data.german coming up, why apple has even more to show us in september. will it be dinner and faster than ever? and fasterbe thinner than ever?

1:25 am
japan has got to try to impact. it is the psyche of the consumer. >> unemployment has fallen to 3%. if that was not a sign for me to trust in the future, my job is safe and i can spend. on the one hand, it is the bank of japan who needs to make sure that japan can participate in the global upswing but it is also very much politically and structural weight how you can get japanese consumers into a more positive mood about the future. tatianhere is an expert -- or was an expectation en vogue that there was going to be more about fiscal spending and also structural reform. spoke with ubs wealth management. if they are not going to walk away from their targets, then the boj will have to deliver massive stimulus. and double down on what they have already done.

1:38 am
angela merkel has been reluctant to say openly what she wants or what germany wants simply because she said there will be no pre-negotiations before britain has officially triggered the close 40 which would start the whole process of right fit. she also does not want to give away the german position. but mainly it is also because she just wants to see what britain says first. anna: we had thought she would wait for that to be triggered. thats freedom of movement, eucific tenant of the agreement, why is that so important to her and her government? >> it is one of the basic principles of the eu single market and i think that angela

1:40 am
brexit boat was coming. does that show that investors were comfortable or did they never expect this to happen? >> i think it is the latter. it was not expected so i would not read too much into it at the moment. the positives are that the consumer does not to -- does not seem to be phased in the markets have ignored it more or less and given it the benefit of the doubt. i think we have had a nice summer lull so far. are better in august then in july. the jury is out but if the politicians return and make new statements about what may or may not be, i expect more volatility in the markets. manus: the politicians return and the hubris will return. sterling has lost 1.37%. respite inmentary
