-- a id. eight >> let's give you an update on the euro. .t is nearing its sudden gain it may gradually wind down in bond purchases. it may do so with 10 billion euros a month. as you can see, the euro-dollar little rightng now. it has briefly gone into .ositive territory what is the european central bank talking about purchases when the economy is not at a point where that could happen? >> i don't know if they are trying to keep in lockstep with the fed but by announcing , it iss incrementally

going to be everybody hit the door at the same time. traders will front run this and push the yields in europe significantly higher and undermine everything they are trying to do. like they would create a taper tantrum of their own. >> to make this type of announcement or even to we get it, it is counterproductive to what they have been trying to do to >> the economy. as we see the euro get back some of its steam and head back into a loss versus the dollar, what is see is that the euro maintaining its gains versus pound. that has to do with the sterling dramatic decline overall.

the pound is falling for a second day, reaching its lowest since 1985 over concerns of a potential hard brexit. i want to bring in from london, executive editor john clare. tell us about the hard economic landing as well. >> it essentially involves the u.k. leaving the european single market and basically existing outside of the trading zone that it has been part of the last 40-45 years. principlesfounding of the european union is that you cannot have access to the single market without having agreed to free movement of people. that means unlimited integration -- immigration from the rest of the eu.

so perhaps, we don't know yet for sure, but certainly there are people who have concluded that the only way to make sure britain has control over immigration is to leave the single market 100%. isthe way the pound reacting, it would suggest a lot of investors are hoping for a soft brexit. there is precedent for that. why do you think theresa may's government is making it so clear that a hard rex it is preferable? >> we don't know if that is what she is going to go for. we are in the beginning of a long negotiation so this could be all part of the negotiation strategy. a lot of posturing. theresa may has spent the summer looking hard at the brexit results and there was a clear message that a lot of people were very upset about what they integration --d

immigration into the country. it is the only way to guarantee the british government has full control over the numbers of people coming in so that is one possible explanation as to why the government seems to be favoring this hard brexit option. talkere is a lot of tough from the government. investors are not looking at posturing so much as reacting. why would they at this point be ready to jump on the hard brexit? her talking about immigration is that line in the sand for europeans. eu won't negotiate and they are worried there will be very limited talks between now and when article 50 is triggered. that would put the u.k. at a disadvantage. based on those fears that the talks will not progress, that they will be something of a

fractious discussion going 12750., they threw it to it could get a little ugly. at 12741.already >> there are some more below 127. was looking at the imf's latest report and the latest forecast -- is there any truth deske brexit here's brexiteeers? >> the u.k. treasury was saying before the point of referendum ant you would've suspected outright recession but that hasn't come about. it is important to know that the economy is going to do well if the currency follows 50%.

the economy was on an upswing on the run up to the referendum. it seems things are going fine ar now but it is hard to get true sense of the impact. certainly not until we get a firm idea of what it looks like. >> every looking at the benefits of the stimulus? >> that could be in their. policymakers took great pains to reassure people that they would be there propping up the economy if needed. when we talk about brexit we have to remember that it hasn't really happened yet. we are not even in the beginning of it. we are in the beginning of the negotiation for brexit. the u.k. is likely to look different in two or three years

and it is difficult at point out that look like. exchequerllor of the made the point that he is holding back on investments in the u.k. and he came out and said that while government is , when you talkn to people in government there is a really early day to determine what the impact will be. >> there could be worse to comment when you look at the pound you believe that. that certainly does help boost the outcome -- outlook. which theny point at bank of england might step in to support the pound? >> not really. the central banks have decided amongst themselves that intervention isn't something they want to see.

they would only entertain it if the market has acted in a ridiculous way. but gyrations like this are typical. sterling will find its own level. there will be buyers that see this as an advantage. between now and then, there are going to be rebounds. >> it would be an interesting level to watch for the day. you could see that watch out. own than cigna rela, our strategist as well. the deutsche bank has pledged more than 47% to raise capital for legal costs. we are hearing from roger altman on whether the sides has made this worse. this is bloomberg.

>> this is bloomberg markets. i am scarlet fu. withstanding the threat of more large fines. rogers according to altman. these boat to the team earlier today. >> european banks are weaker than most of their international counterparts and we all see the pressures on deutsche bank. aboutrket equity today is $18 million. -- $18 billion. one of the things going on here is that deutsche bank is under pressure for a number of reasons.

one of which is that it is so small. on the balance sheet, the derivatives, at deutsche bank, the lack of transparency, they just don't understand what is there and they don't understand the linkages to other financials , through europe or the united states. >> that is true but if the justice department had sought to levy a $14 million fine against -- big four.s. 84, , that's fine is not different from the market cap. the immediate reaction is that they can't pay 14 billion. that wouldn't be the reaction against one of the u.s. banks. david: there are also the european banks like hsbc, barclays. orthis a deutsche specific is it also within europe? >> it is more specific to

deutsche bank than otherwise. they are the ones facing these fines. all, these institutions when you study them are quite different. ubs is a wealth management business rather than a banking business. barclays has gotten on a considerably strong new direction. more differences and similarities and i don't expect this to result in european banking. >> where does the liquidity come from? is it a big insurance company? don't know the answer. there is a lot of speculation about an equity raise which deutsche bank has been denying. it depends on what the final likely settlement amount is and over what. .f time is it $4 billion or $5 billion? the closer to that, that will

determine whether they need to raise capital. they are hoping not to raise capital at all. scarlet: that was roger altman. still ahead, while there may not be a lot of fireworks, we are going to debate with the most mild-mannered political figures. this is bloomberg. ♪

their running mates. supported the tpp trade deal in the past and donald trump has said that is horrible. we saw that he voted for the iraq war which donald trump said was a mistake. pants, and for tim kaine, he has a very different opinion on abortion from secretary clinton. scarlet: thank you. can another reminder, you watch the debate right here on bloomberg television. coverage begins at 8:30 p.m. eastern time. we will be speaking to the mayor of columbus ohio. this is bloomberg. ♪

deferential. scarlet: you are certainly in the column of hillary clinton being a democrat and campaigning for her. donald trump has talked about the devastation of job loss in ohio. while it is true that manufacturing jobs have gone down, other industries have seen gains. there is some sentiment there that still echoes with people in frequent county. mayor ginther: there are parts of the state that are not as far along in the recovery. that message i think will resonate with certain parts of the state. , her messageio about planning for the future with green energy and research development really resonates with the people of central ohio. >> we still have big manufacturing jobs. american vehicles being made in ohio. we have international manufacturers in ohio like honda.

i wonder what ohio voters think of these trade issues that seem to be so contentious, whereas we do benefit a lot, especially in the columbus area, from trade. mayor ginther: you really do have a divided state along some of these trade deals. i think one consensus is that folks are all about free trade as long is it is fair trade and a level playing field. that is so american workers think compete against workers around the world. there is no doubt about it. part of the great economic recovery that is taking place in ohio is about increasing the amount of exports of goods from ohio to other places around the world. ofwe also have a lot entrepreneurship in central ohio. that is because of the size of ohio state university. entrepreneurs there are funded by venture capitalists. regulation is a big concern to them. had you work to keep regulation down?

ohio? mayor ginther: she is going to win ohio. competitive very and close race. central ohio will be key to that. there are parts of the state where mr. trump's message of frustration and anger might resonate differently than in central ohio. we are going to resonate that's we are going to be the largest county and sent -- we are going to be the largest county in central ohio in the next few years. some urban areas, particularly with married women, the message from hillary clinton is going to carry the day in ohio. >> i can understand the anger and frustration resonating with a lower middle class group of people that have not been able to keep up with inflation over the past few decades, who have seen their wages stagnate. ohio is also an incredibly diverse state.

central ohio is an incredibly diverse community. donaldre concerns trump's feelings about immigration and racial issues -- more to those people come out for hillary clinton -- won't those areas come out for hillary clinton? mayor ginther: i think so. we are a smart and open community. we continue to grow. .e want to be inclusive we want to build for the future. that i believe connects people with secretary clinton. mr. trump's message is not going to resonate with the diverse, growing parts of ohio. scarlet: john kasich, the governor of ohio, ran for the primary for president. he remains a popular politician in the state.

endorsehis refusal to donald trump mean in the state of ohio? speakginther: i cannot for republicans and how that will influence their views on things. he is been a great partner to the city of columbus. fought for the cause of infant mortality in the state. i believe he has made a at the highest level in the state of ohio. i respect his willingness to stand up for what he believes in. buckeyes beat rutgers over the weekend. 14-7.an beat wisconsin so, they won but it was nota -- not a thumping.

or three years. so actually, five years forward is looking bad to me. >> you go out to 2021. when will we be seeing the collapse in the expectations? when will we see the collapse of the dream and hope of yield higher? >> the reason i looked five-year out is to try and get a clearer picture for the next one or two years. i think the danger is that many people are only looking at one thing at a time. there is the united states election, all the political .ackdrop in europe my concern is that nothing much is really going to change. i know people are talking about the rise of populism. i just do not see it. thatu look at the path of long-term chart you referred to,

it has been coming down quite systematically. i imagine one year out it will be even lower. -- ie not there yet imagine one day it will be at normal levels, but we are not there yet. scarlet: later on, roger altman was asked to respond to stephen majors call. >> it is possible. every time we have expected rates to move up they have not. every time we thought they could not get lower, they have often got lower. that would not be my back. -- my bet. view,not the mainstream but it is possible. it would not be my bet, because i do not believe the rates will get lower. he is forecasting them to get lower by year-end. no one would bet their life against it, it would not be my

bet. i also think you are going to see, over five years, some easing up from the central banks from the hyper aggressive monetary policy they have been pursuing. it is a lot more possible today than it was a year and half ago. >> it does say something kind of sobering about while -- long-term global economic growth. if you look at the latest data from world trade it is -- >> if you look at the latest data from world trade, it is rather discouraging. it is so far below what we have seen in recent years that it ties right together with a lower, longer scenario. scarlet: that was evercore partners chairman roger altman ."g on, "bloomberg coming up, the takeover of monsanto. we will have the charts you want to know before the data comes out tomorrow.

recently, we have had this index go back above its 50 day moving average. it suggests that this index could arise to the top of the range. it could even move about it. this chart suggests there could be some onside again for nasdaq stock. for today, what is behind the directionless trading, there are not huge moves also not a lack of news. again, there is this funky trading feeling. -- thethese big boosts winners today coming in from their high, that includes alphabet, apple. again, overall, not a lot of news. do haveof it, we something positive -- four alphabet, we do have some news, they have revealed their new smartphones to compete with apple's iphone. scarlet: yes, there seems to be

a lack of a particular catalyst for the trading action. is there one major mover? sky works is a major mover. koetter equity has upgraded sky works to a by. -- buy. we are hearing there could be a dark course inquiry to compete with qualcomm. some interesting movement in the dark course market. scarlet: abigail doolittle, thank you. coming up, the rollout of new products that are born from some of the new purchases. we have the details for you. this is bloomberg. ♪

grapes from salesforce that was interested in this link in the property? increasede seeing competition from oracle. microsoft dynamics is not as big as salesforce's products. they are trying to be much bigger in this space. the potential is that if they are able to go through and compete the linkedin acquisition , they would have data on several million -- 450 million people. take a look at their product and create something much more powerful. that is what is scaring salesforce at this point. >> is self force right in their move? >> it is very unusual. softwarecompanies in are buying data assets.

ibm has bought a couple of health care companies. there is a lot of rumors about twitter being purchased by somebody. at the end of the day, these companies when they buy these assets will have to share this information with the rest of the community. otherwise, there could be some regulatory issues. >> when is it too much information being shared? when you have to start raining that in? >> i think that will be the biggest thing for microsoft to figure out with the privacy regulations around it. they will have to jump through a on how they are going to be using the data. remember, linkedin was not made for a sierra platform and they first launched. >> this process of microsoft buying linkedin is going to take longer if european regulators do start to look into this. >> it is possible. that happens though when microsoft buys anything, or when

google buys anything. everyone once to look and see how it will shape the competitive landscape going forward. , doesthis deal gets done it -- you spoke about the possibility of microsoft building this network. does that mean that salesforce also us to look for some kind of acquisition here? >> they had been doing a lot of acquisitions. they had been improving their product portfolio. they have their marquee product -- their flagship product, and it is not growing at the same rate that it was. it is just getting much older. they are looking at more opportunities to grow and acquisition is a good way to do that. >> what about twitter? a hard sell in our view. the information that salesforce needs from twitter, they could easily ford a ownership -- create a partnership where they are already getting that

information. if you have a social platform, many people use software to and that that data in their own product. it is hard to imagine anyone buying those products and then shutting it off for everyone else. it is not make sense for how these platforms have been built. >> scarlet kicked off this segment i talking about the other acquisitions that salesforce has done. they are an inquirer. >> they have inquired a lot of products. they have a financial aid product. is all just part of a bittersweet that is anything sales related, marketing related, customer service related. any time and they will do it. >> do you think anyone will come and ask for regular readers to look into this microsoft deal? it is interesting to see cells

scheme. percentage of the gdp comes out of the housing market. we want to cool it down so it doesn't pop. been a lot of talk about a housing bubble. why is this taking on added urgency at this point? >> i think it comes down to how long it has gone on. more and more portfolio managers are starting to do the math on what a big housing market correction would due to the overall economy. there are some that see a real recession coming out. aspect to it. rates are going to go higher. going to we are going to start see rates moving in that direction.

we've seen 180,000 jobs added average, this year on which is a pretty good pace. inflation still below our 2% goal. monetary policy has to be forward-looking. there was a compelling case of moving the rate of gradually. there are some people who think you want to curtail the expansion. the reason why it was important to move the rate up is we want a sustainable expansion. consumereek the spending was weak enough that the atlanta cut its gdp tracker down to 2.4%. the first half the gdp barely

grew over 1%. maybe the weight could be a little bit longer. when it is really not all that strong yet. >> the first half of the year growth was around 1%. i think around two to 3% in the second half. we are going to be looking over trend over the next two years. that will be strong enough to put some downward pressure on the unemployment rate. i believe it is in place for inflation to move gradually back to two. in my view inflation expectations are reasonably well anchored. i think economic conditions are going to be such that we are going back gradually. we have to be preemptive to make sure we are moving the interest rate up so we can keep the

expansion sustained. >> the fed chair recently said the cases strengthened for a rate hike. is onms like the economy an even better footing for a rate hike -- rate hike. >> i would conclude that all meetings are live in i thought the case was compelling to take another step on the gradual path. if the data comes in as we anticipate, it will be consistent with my forecast over the medium run. i expect the case would remain compelling. we are going to look at all the data that comes in now between november and december. we like to look at all the incoming information. if the data comes in as consistent with what we have been seeing, i think it would

still remain with best remain compelling. the case will be compelling. news onve some breaking the company. shares of both those companies are searching. have bridged and evaluation gap that has cost months of disagreement. reached a final agreement and an announcement is not yet in a mint. the chicago tribune and the baltimore sun, anywhere from 1850 to $19 per share. the two have not yet agree to anything. the talks could still fall apart. we will keep an eye on these for you. this is bloomberg.

south africa is at risk of losing it investment level credit status. the debt is at one level above junk. the prime minister spoke earlier about the police probe against him and how foreigners are still very invested in the nation. >> it is quite an easy sell. we have had huge inflows into the bond markets. at the moment foreigners over 35%. it remains a very attractive destination. we have a very loyal and diligent group of investors. as far as the investigation is concerned, it is no more than political mischief. you have seen consequences in the u.k..
