4:05 am
no plans to exit easing. that was the message from governor kuroda. i spoke to him in an interview in washington, dc. >> traditionally, central bankers argue that interest rates can be controlled while long-term are not. in reality, after the lehman major central banks have been directly intervening in the long-term asset market to and friends longtime interest rates and i'm sure they're been successful in reducing long-term interest rates. from our experience with the negative interest rates, we are quite sure that this combination

there are so many concerns because we don't know where our growth is going to come, our shop is going to come from. we may be nearing zero. >> potentially. the problem is -- talking over the weekend, the imf last week, -- japan has is yet to enter that problem. there tried numerous ways to get around the problem around debt deflation dragging the japanese economy. he has talked about his for state plan. -- for his -- about his for stage plan. -- liability problem . francine: are worried are you that we are reaching the end of monetary policy? you that weed are are reaching the end of monetary policy? you should not look at japan and
4:09 am
say there thinking outside the box. daniel: third of their aging cognition -- about the fourth stage, negative interest rates. we are now in the final stage, a andof financial policy fiscal policy. japan has entered that face. kuroda is very concerned. happy about gdp growth and closing the output gap. francine: everyone is. the market is. he is still undershooting when he has promised we will reach that 2% target. daniel: the ecb and the bank of japan have the same problem. this is the kind of final game. it could take quite some time. francine: will it work? when i was speaking to governor
4:10 am
-- how it works, it is very procyclical measure. he says that by allowing inflation to overshoot, it will change. this only changes the mindset. it doesn't have an impact on real inflation. daniel: agree to an extent but it is only a mechanism. they can expand their balance sheet and china, the funding into the economy more direct. one of the big problems that the bank of japan and politicians have had is this income distribution issue about to be. -- about qe. they see this mechanism that channeling money will help inflation expectation. through your interview with that showed me, i think comes a clearly, -- the second round of impacts on the person on the
4:11 am
street inflation expectation. francine: daniel, thank you so much. he stays with us. tay with "surveillance." hard brexit, soft brexit, does it really matter? will discuss the options. cheap oil, cheap gas. what does it mean for the energy industry? which of these biggest industries -- the presidential debate gets even more personal. we go live to the u.s. to get the latest reaction to around two of clinton versus trump. this is bloomberg. ♪

francine: this is bloomberg surveillance." let's get to the bloomberg business flash with sebastian salek. sebastian: samsung has halted reduction of its note 7 phone. it comes after reports emerged of replacement phones that were issued also catching fire. the shares fell almost as much as 6%. stake andeasing its 20%. the billionaire -- over the media conglomerate. the group will hold 20% of the voting rights. taking into account the double voting right. global group shares have jumped after it agreed to sell its u.s. in the unit. -- tompany says the deal
4:15 am
raise $2 billion. mounting losses and liquidity. that is bloomberg business flash. francine: deutsche bank executives have failed to reach an agreement. that is according to build. a person familiar says negotiations with negotiations are ensuing. is daniel lawh us for me. michael, why isn't this settlement with deutsche bank taking so long? michael: they would like to get a figure out there. there is a lot of detail to be ironed out, even if you get to a figure. how much of that is cash? consumer relief? for other penalties, what is the bank agreeing to in terms of saying what it did? details tolot of
4:16 am
iron out even if you can get to a number. they are very far apart on those figures, versus the 14 million -- versus the $14 billion. there is a lot of ground to make up. if that original number has not come out and you do not have so much pressure on the stock, it would not be surprising that this settlement was taking so long. it is just increasing the density increased attention on deutsche bank -- the increased attention on the to bank is making it so long. francine: down by 2.8%. i was down in the and john kline was there. i saw him briefly on thursday night. they have not said much. are you surprised that they have not been more communicative with markets? michael: the main communication, they cannot really talk about the doj. the main committee case has been about the derivatives book and trying to reassure the market that some of these concerns
4:17 am
about the book are overblown. clearly if you look the numbers, that is not the proper way to look at it. i think there has been some uncertainty about the level of level three assets that it+++ he saw the chief risk officer in the german press over the weekend trying to assure the market this balance sheet has never been cleaner and we are a lot simpler. francine: one last question. we understand they may want 25% of the bank.
4:18 am
have a confirmed? michael: they have not said anything publicly. the reporting is they have an interest in increasing their stake if there's an opportunity to do so. certainly, that would be one more option for deutsche bank if they needed to raise money based on a larger than expected settlement. that gives them an anchor investor. francine: daniel, i know you don't want to talk about banks. one of the things that imf was very clear, the concerns about this is models. we talked about deutsche. we need a strong banking system in europe to make sure that growth is there. the two are so link that sometimes there is a feeling that the regulators forgot them. daniel: the way that policy is shifting. it is not a confidence that the doj is playing hard. at the same time the u.s. is looking at the ecb and the european economy and saying we need some fiscal and monetary expansion. treasuries secretary lew is putting some rush on germany. -- some pressure on germany. the ability for them to expand and germany clearly ahead of the election not wanting to do so. a bit of a negotiation going on
4:19 am
between deutsche bank and systematically the most important bank in the world. imf, all theom world leaders to get stimulus into europe. francine: daniel, thank you so much. up next, should the u.k. go for soft brexit? or a hard brexit? or perhaps it doesn't matter? we will discuss those options. this is bloomberg surveillance. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:24 am
wise, they will want the same. daniel, the problem with brexit, and i know there's been a lot of kerfuffle. it depends on how attached the prime minister and governor is to having access to europe. they don't seem very attached. they seem to focus a lot on immigration. daniel: i don't think so. i think -- this is hit headlines again -- this has hit headlines again. remember the speech that theresa may made is kind of clumsy. speaking to their own constituency, it has the -- francine: they know everyone was looking at them. i have people coming on and saying it was the tory party conference. it was the first time we hear from the prime minister on bikes it. they need to know the rest of the world is watching. daniel: i think she will learn from that. i think it was a mistake.
4:25 am
a lot of people coming away thinking, oh brexit. i fully agree that the tory party in reality want somewhere between soft and hard. they want to negotiate and get a better deal. it is in europe's best interest to negotiate. francine: isn't? i don't see it. the u.k. could argue for the eu than the eu needs from the u.k.. daniel: you could argue that on a per capita basis, what we taken through from europe is greater than what europe takes imports from the u.k. a nice relationship. i don't think that will change. i think they will negotiate and ensure that -- german cars and u.k. they get a better deal. u.k.ce and europe from the will get a fair deal. it is logical that they go through this negotiation. on how hard the u.k. will be.
4:26 am
francine: win is that going to be corrected? all of the newsmakers that are not u.k. based tank we are going for a -- think we are going for a hard brexit. daniel: we are leaving. you have to negotiate. when you do negotiate, sometimes you have to take a hard line. communication from the conference and converted was too hard. francine: thank you so much. exit from easing. we bring you more from my interview from haruhiko kuroda. we spoke to him in washington dc. that interview coming up. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:35 am
how did you feel when you saw that flash crash in the pound on thursday? kuroda: it is a bit difficult to understand, because after the eu june, the british pound depreciated. and then it became fairly stable. and other financial markets, including the stock market, other asset markets, or performing relatively well, so i was a bit surprised. -- a bit surprised when the british pound depreciated. mis-trading -- francine: a fat finger? kuroda: i don't know. after the shock, the british

4:40 am
inflation? at this juncture, the ecb and the central blanks -- central banks think it is a cost-plus issue. either the consumer of the person in the street has inflation expectations, and in less they can feel confident, they will not deliver on that. there is a conversation about bernanke from where the ecb has gone. policy -- does not have a structure in place in europe to do that. merkel has an election coming up . she has her own issues to deal with. she is not going to help the ecb out. i think they are at a dilemma in this juncture. has the ecb will remain in place for quite some time to come. francine: up next, the imf wrapup. tom keene joins us in new york, and we wrap up the best interviews. this is "bloomberg

of mortgage-backed securities are continuing, according to people familiar with the matter. in light of the second debate last month, the red line is donald trump's average poll according to real clear politics. a white line is the peso against the dollar. the peso is seen as a proxy for trader views on trump's prospects. as the polling rate comes down, the red line, the peso has been rising against the dollar, up by as much as 2% earlier, now up as much as 1.4%. cnn conducted a poll after the debate. 57% of registered voters who watched said clinton won. this is a great chart. this shows startling -- shows versus gold -- this is gold in dollars, gold in pounds, excuse me. old in dollars fell the most since september.
4:45 am
concerns the fed might raise rates. some investors favor gold in pounds as a store of value as currencies weakened. his is evidence of sterling weakness against the dollar since last monday. what a big fall on friday, falling to the lowest level since may 10, 1985. 4.1% over the week. that was a massive fall, the biggest since the referendum. francine: mark barton with your asset check. greece's debt returned to the spotlight as finance ministers meet in luxembourg. the greek finance minister spoke to me at the imf meeting ahead of the gathering, and criticize the position of his german counterpart, mr. shovel, on debt relief. >> i explained that i do not understand how he has this triangle where he believes the program will work, the imf will be on board, and there will not be debt relief. someone has to give. i think the down in his heart, he understands that. francine: for more on the views out of the imf, i am joined by
4:46 am
tom keene out of new york city, who is still trying to recuperate from the intensity of the imf coverage here with us in london. tom, we had some great conversations. ceo's,e to the ubs francine lagarde, and hildebrand. it was clear that no one is feeling good about the next 12 months. tom: what is interesting is a clear message that no one in europe is in charge. interview after interview, what i noticed was, we really do not know who we are talking to. that was the theme from lagarde and mr. hildebrandt from blackrock. for me, it was less about brexit and the united kingdom, or for that matter greece, and much more about who is the adult in the room for europe. francine: i think a lot of the chat was actually looking forward to your presidential debate. a lot of people were asking questions, even certain governors that shall remain unnamed, who were asking what a
4:47 am
donald trump presidency would mean for stocks across the world. we also had to of course talk about deutsche bank. tom: i note mexican peso this morning over the weekend -- not just the debate, but the news flow and outrage over the weekend -- clearly, a stronger peso signals a better monday for secretary clinton than mr. trump. with that said, we will see how the poll's out in a second debate. we go to a third debate october 19, i believe. on deutsche bank, a pullback well within the range this morning. on "surveillance" on morning the news flow out of deutsche bank. it is up in the air. francine: and certainly the stock is not liking it at all. we had a conversation on saturday afternoon with the president of the swiss national bank, mr. thomas jordan. we talked about the trouble in the world, and i asked whether he could go further into negative territory.
4:48 am
mr. jordan: it makes sense for switzerland. you have to distinct between exchange rate channels for negative rates and the credit channel. there is evidence the credit channel is working. francine: would you be comfortable going further into negative territory? after johnson, we have room to go further if necessary. it seems again, central bankers keep saying they can do more and have the tools. markets may come in certain cases, the testing that. like mr.t of people jordan were talking their book. it will be interesting to see what the exogenous shocks are, led by economic growth, lack thereof, and the distraction of the united kingdom, how it adjusts. i was suggest to mr. jordan's comments, the real observation at the imf was how disappointed people were in the strasburg and bronislaw meetings. you wonder, how do they get things done -- strasburg and bratislava meetings.
4:49 am
you wonder how they get things done by the end of the year before things clicked in. we will haveine: more on what tom is talking about and look at ethics moves. peso fx moves like the chart. we get back to the manager at bernstein. dan, we are talking about the federal reserve, brexit, and the debate over there. there is also the problem of populism. i am not sure if you are the , or the so-called elites -- if you are a newsmaker, policymaker -- how you address that so voters do not go too much to the right or the left. responding very belatedly. classically in the uk, we have seen through the conservative party conference, looking at means of stimulus they could target more closely. i think theresa may's policy advisor george friedman said earlier today, we want to find
4:50 am
mechanisms that we can channel the money more directly to who we want -- i.e. infrastructure spending in the north of england, the area most people voted for brexit. and the infrastructure spending and scotland as well, to try to win them over. francine: thanks so much for the insight. daniel lawfully -- loughney. misconduct of sexual fly around the stage of round two of the u.s. presidential debate. who one the latest bout? ♪

4:55 am
donald trump had his back up against a political wall. he came back biting hard as he is a lot of criticism from not only democrats, but members of his own party. he is vowing to stay in this presidential race. francine: there is a lot of talk about donald trump's running mate, mike pence, being less than impressed by this controversy. will he remain well? kevin: i put the question to national republican spokesmen in the spin room after the debate, and he told me that trump and hence are 100% "unified." oath are scheduled to hit the campaign trail today as well as later this week. despite top republicans inside the republican party calling on him to drop out and to replace pense, the-- with trump campaign is soldiering on. hillary clinton maintained a
