1:09 am
inflation expectations generally not good for bonds, but it does seem to be at the long end. is this about putting on the s teepening? >> it is happening at the same time that you see higher yields in europe because we have the broader concerns about what the central banks are going to do in japan and europe. it is this confluence of two things, pushing yields higher. the other thing we have the thing about as a feedback loop in the sense that before, when it yields were low in europe, that would push treasuries down. what is that going to do to european yields? manus: it is a global perspective. the u.s. worries the rest of the world tends to tag along with it. these are 30 year, 10, and five-year break-ins. they are shifting this 30 years to the highest levels since may. is this u.s. move the beginning of a reconsideration of the
1:10 am
overall global inflation discussion? there's parallels with what you are seeing here and what you would like to see in japan. they would like to see inflation run above targets. whereas here in the u.s., you may get that, that is possible, because you had inflation, relatively high in the u.s.. that is one of the things that is a key difference between the two. you're seeing inflation and fixations go up higher now because they had gone down for a long time, even as realized inflation was going up. it you had a disconnect between what was in the economy, the markets, and now pushed up even further, but we can't say. nejra: that is what you are expecting as well. we have one of our first word strategist writing on the bloomberg, saying do not discount november because historically, there have been quite a few occasions were the fed has moved easing rather than hiking, and still moved even a
1:11 am
few days before the election. are we run to discount november? sayt: the probabilities that is not going to happen. it would be quite a shock for the fed to move when he markets are not expecting it. it would be quite a shock ahead of the election and is it really necessary? with a take the risk? they can wait till december. wait until the election is over. we are probably looking for december, but even then, if you look at the probabilities, it is army in the 60's or so. the market is not completely convinced. manus: you mentioned the elections. at the aussie dollar -- it has carried its short aussie bets and schizophrenia with the mexican peso. everything you see now coming through on the election over the weekend, has it shifted your thinking at all? do you think the differentials,
1:12 am
do you believe them? do you believe the clinton differentials over trump? guest: we have learned to be more humble when it comes to talking about election results. i think it will be close. it is not just the comments we have heard recently, but also for some voters, what they see as republican economic principles and so on, which they will believe in and support regardless. what has changed however is your democraticsdiscuss getting the house, not only the senate. that would be a significant shift for the outlook of the economy. that is what has changed. we always knew it would be close. house,happens in the that is what is going to be more significant for the economy. nejra: down to morris is staying with us here on daybreak europe. manus: the eu foreign ministers are meeting at 8:00 this morning, uk time. syria and the migration prices will be among the top issue -- migration crisis will be among

1:20 am
there. it is something that is on the table, they are considering a strategy review. they considered firing the supervisory board. local reportssome here in germany that maybe they were being forced to do this by the u.s. boj. that is not the case, according to the people we have spoken to. they say this is not mandatory, but something that is just being evaluated up at -- evaluated at the moment by the bank. look, this is not the only option that sits on the table in front of them, is it? >> precisely. there are so many other ways they can scale back it to ensure that the bank is seen as safer. they could be making more money. they would not do that. we have been speaking to some of the key players out there and it seems as though maybe the core investors, it maybe even the
1:21 am
royal family of qatar, could add to their holdings. maybe they could do a capital raise, sell assets, bassett management business. they have been reporting -- asset management business. they had been reporting -- tableould be back on the or this being explored, we understand. they are getting other banks on the security companies helping them and advising them. they are filing to lose market share. interesting we saw the u.s. on friday, the groups he a faux -- thedeutsche bank's representatives saying deutsche bank's pain has been our game. gain. manus: all of this is a
1:22 am
challenge for mario draghi in terms of the ability of banks to do their job right here in europe to help complement his strategy, isn't it? >> precisely. i will be flying over to frankfurt on thursday to see what the ecb says. we'll get much on the agenda. every single time at mario draghi is questioned on banking in his hometown of italy, we see he is coming out saying, maybe with the italian lenders being put together, the two drunks propping up the bar, it does not mean bigger means better. from mariouestion draghi. at this is a question the ecb has to look internally at. it has not hurt the net interest margin. it is finally showing the weaknesses in certain business models. in berlin.line hyde china's policy makers facing a
1:23 am
dilemma over that yuan. that is posing issues for the nation's policymakers as they seek to arrest a plunge in exports and shore up an economy growing at its slowest pace since 1990. manus: the pboc weakens by the most in a week. still with us is dan morris from the and be paribas -- bnp paribas. you have got a resilient dollar and then selling ethics reserves. what we have got for you is the chondrocyte of it. line, this isite the challenge. it has been strengthening against other currencies and that is the real challenge for the pboc. is there a win in this? >> one conclusion you can make
1:24 am
from what yellen said last week is that if you have a hike in december but fewer next year because you will let inflation run higher, that argues for less ranks in the dollar. this may be a temporary phenomenon adjusting to expectations for the end of the year. yourself howsk much necessarily are the chinese counting on exports to boost the economy? i would argue, not so much. if you look at chinese growth over the next decade, it had not contributed that much true growth. i do not think it is a strategy for the future. it is domestic demand and consumption and so on. they are watching this certainly, but to expected big change in policy, i think they are going to keep stability more than anything else. nejra: if we do get any kind of yuan, howon in the u. much do you think the impact will be outside of china? ati think it is fair to look
1:25 am
the unexpected devaluation of the yuan as the primary culprit. i think they would be cautious about that. we have seen them try to keep the exchange rate stable through the g-20 meeting through the inclusion. we have an election coming up next year. it is going to be all about stability and trying to keep the domestic economy going and keep the service sector strong, which it is, and let the currency manage itself to the degree that they can. manus: i find fascinating, the treasury semiannual report, not that i read it all. they have said that china is not a currency manipulator. switzerland to the potential watchlist. reduced inctually terms of the criteria for manipulation. they have dropped from the elite two of them to one of them. is that for real -- nearly two of them told one of them. is that from real?
1:26 am
>> they were keeping the value low, not terribly coherent. we are seeing a bit of a reversal of that. we need to look at what the market forces are in the end. that is what matters. the rate that they want to manage is depreciating slightly and is going to help the economy, but i think it is ultimately driven by them trying to manage market forces as opposed to manipulating the currency outright. nejra: what are you expecting from the gross number? guest: it will probably be what they told us it is going to be. if you look at that line over time, it is surprisingly stable, but will come in line. nejra: dan, thank you very much. manus: a deal for a merger. a big win for the prime minister. is there more to come? we get into that conversation. this is bloomberg. ♪

nejra: you are seeing the tokyo imperial palace live there. the topix up 0.2%. manus: a new edition of daybreak is on. at your bloomberg is on your mobile. the function there is go. let us see what is hitting the top stories today, and there you go. that is near hyde park. preparedness to run the u.s. economy. the fed chair has laid out the case for keeping monetary policy easy, suggesting it could fix

the growth problems and boost the labor force participation rate. year bonds. what happens next in terms of the dollar? oft does that mean in terms looking through the upper bandwidth on inflation? nejra: we have been talking about the yield curve today. i have to say, i think that is a man running around hyde park. [laughter] nejra: the next three is deutsche bank, germany's biggest lender, said to be shrinking as its legal bills rise. daybreak focuses and on greece, the country's creditors vince today. this comes 14 months after greece -- nejra: markets with guy johnson.
1:32 am
>> ftse futures cool down. things are very much going to be in focus of what is happening in italy. talking of what is happening on the periphery, periphery of europe includes the uk, it seems, judging by the bond market reaction. catching up with what is happening in spain. very significant as well. carney is going to look through gilttion, big yield on the market. the other thing we have to watch out for is mario draghi. talking about the fact that the euro bears are back. one about trading, sub point 10. keep an eye on the euro this week. the downward to victory is something and people are going to be focusing on. are we going to worry about inflation in the u k and united u.k. and united
1:33 am
states? the recount rises for a second week. market speculators are also on the move and this is again going to feed into this inflationary story. charts to three and four are inflation. as we work our way he the week, investors are going to continue to worry about what is happening here, this big move at the back end of the curve, this big move in the gilt market. something to pay attention to. back to you. manus: thank you very much. it let us talk about italy now. backed the merger. the deal marks the nation's biggest higher in more than a decade and a big win for the pm. nejra: damage screen, this is a -- dan, this is a very important
1:34 am
merger? guest: yes. very important for the prime minister's, as you mentioned at the top of the program, because he was a very strong supporter of consolidation, particularly in this very quirky world of pop populare.-- world of there is hundreds of them throughout the top of the northern part of it lead down to the south. if this deal had not gone through, it would not have been a vote of confidence in italy's banking industry, which is suffering under the weight of 300 billion euros of bad loans. it wasuation, i think the bare minimum that was needed to restore some confidence in this industry right now.
1:35 am
when we look at this, are we going to see more of it? you talk about the small institutions around italy. is this the first? it was so successful in spain. this needs to happen. more of this needs to happen. >> indeed. i think, probably a year ago, i would have said yes, definitely, we'll see some more deals, but i think it is going to be extremely tough to put together a transaction of this lies. it is going to be creating a bank of 6 billion euros of market value in the combination just because of this structural issue that they have to confront right now. you have this tremendous mountain of bad loans, and you do not know what is going to has been for sale for over a year, a takeover at the top of the agenda,
1:36 am
so who else really could put together a deal of this size right now? it certainly in the short term. nejra: you mentioned the referendum earlier and that is one of the things, the uncertainty around that that could dan and the way of more consolidation, but how significant is this latest deal for the referendum? >> i think it will help some, but it remains to be seen. we have got roughly more, almost two months before the referendum on december 4. you are crucial because i credit.have un both of them have to raise billions of euros to restore capital buffers. if the referendum loses, if renzi loses, there is the potential for market turmoil.
1:37 am
those banks are waiting to see beforecome of that vote they decide to go to the market to sell stock. something like the third time that they have had to carry out a share sale in the last you years. few years. nejra: thank you very much. dan, italian bureau chief. we will be speaking with --bancapolare kimonos .milano's giuseppe manus: i noticed this. this is the spreads of the
1:38 am
italian government bonds over germany. rising, not exponentially, but we have gone just over 110, so does that explode further in this back three month of the year? two months of the year. and the dying embers of 2016 . >> that is going to have a significant impact on the market, the italian government bond market. it is the contagion question. concernedsignal more about the eurozone in general because you have this failure, fundamentally, of being able to reform itself? guest: on one hand come i think that is a valid question. contagion, however, i think it will be maintained. do not forget, the ecb is buying bonds even if you have a buy off
1:39 am
. it is an italian problem. nejra: talking about the rest of europe and contagion, what other country where the bonds have been the worst performers in developed markets is portugal and they are trying to reform the banks of there. when you are looking at europe, where do you see the most risk at the moment and the most opportunity? the next thing on your radar is italy and portugal looking better and a budget that has seemed to come within the eu target that they had said in terms of the budget deficit and at the same time satisfied some of the requirements of their. they are actually come other risk is perhaps falling, though we still have the determination of whether they keep their rating coming up. there is plenty of political pockets out there anything to concern is that if you have this ongoing french elections next year, is this going to keep to some degree a cap on european equities because of this persistent political concern, which is once you are past the u.s. election, at least that
1:40 am
part of the equation is fading. manus: one of the persistent things, if it is not ubs, they have said, look, there is this continual outflow of capital from european equity markets. it has been sustained. what needs to happen to change that perspective of the global investor? guest: whether or not that is the right move, you wonder if you have retail money moving, you kind of have the concern that they are always moving at the wrong moment. we are more bullish on the outlook for european equities. how to convince people that is another matter. it would come down to first if you saw weakness in earnings in the u.s.. we are not anticipating that. that might be something that changes the psychology of investors. secondarily, if you look at evaluations, it is more attractive than in the u.s.. if people could look at the return they are likely to get over the next two years from a point of view, it is higher in europe. it comes down to sentiment,
1:41 am
psychology, and i think if you had something that showed people perhaps that there was a potential for more stability and reform in europe, that might happen, but ultimately, we think we will see the value. daniel moore stays with us on daybreak europe and we are moving on to talk precisely about european earnings. manus: cortices in the wraps up this week. -- quarter season wraps up this week. we had our appetite wetted it last week. great to see you. can we expect a post-brexit impact on uk profits? confidence, the main thect will come from weakening pound. most of the companies listed on the ftse 100 are multinationals as opposed to the u.s., asia, and the rest of europe. two thirds or more than two thirds of the revenues are coming from abroad. what wey, analysts,
1:42 am
have seen in the data is that analysts have been pricing in, have been adjusting their forecast for the currency translations coming from the weaker pound, so if you look at ago, analystsh were expecting a drop of 4% in the ftse 100 earnings for 20 16. now, they are expecting a job of 0.6%. the biggest upgrades we are seeing is in the pharmaceutical and energy and mining sector, of course, and also helping is the rebound in commodity prices you read this is going to help the --ing and energy sector commodity prices. this going to help the mining and energy sector. the ftse 100 index now for more domestic oriented companies, we
1:43 am
have not seen any certificate change in the forecast for the sector's yet. i think analysts will wait to see the outlook for these companies in the earnings season two see any damage, potential damage from a brexit before they started just enough forecast. nejra: there has been no profit growth for years in europe. could this season mark a turning point? europe, broadly speaking, no we have seen --ectations for earnings speaking, we have seen expectations for earnings so far. earnings growth is going to be negative this quarter again. but most strategists expect this quarter to maybe be the last quarter of earnings, negative earnings growth, and the end of
1:44 am
five years during which we have seen no profit growth in europe, so this could be the turning point. ais comes from mostly the pick up in the economy and the emerging markets and also the commodity sectors are bouncing back. nejra: thank you very much, our bloombergn, first word equities strategist with the latest on what we can expect. coming up on daybreak, bring on the bowls after a wild two bulls after a wild two months. yellen makes the case for keeping monetary policy easy, suggesting it could fix growth problems. manus: a false sense of security. the uk's post brexit economy could be weaker than meets the eye. this is bloomberg. ♪

1:54 am
weakness if even those options go off the table because primarily, opposition from the eu. nejra: how much more weakness? we have another chart on the bloomberg saying there is more pain to come. you have a number, some goldman america,bc, bank of deutsche bank, all seeing more paying for sterling. that is certainly a possible target that sterling would reach from a currency point of view. they kind of always overshoot. $1.20 is forhink value, you are going to go past that. and they go below $1.20, i think that is possible. one othermanus: interest, btv. 43.21. #btv, click on it. 10 year government bond yield in the united kingdom all beginning

to decrease. we ratcheted nearly 7% on friday. it is all beginning, the stitching is beginning to come undone. what does that say in terms of a risk warning or health warning over gilts? guest: you have the initial benefits and concerns about the impact on the economy and like you said, that is starting to unwind. we do not think we'll get the same amount of stimulus from the bank of england. we have concerned about the risk premium you are applying to gilts, and now the inflation effects. those forces probably could continue. i think the biggest risk is for higher gilt yields a we have the bank of england pushing them back down saying that the risk is to hire yield as opposed to lower ones. thea: part of that is inflation expectations.
1:56 am
people i have spoken to show concern about sterling continuing to weaken while gilt yields move higher. i think it is not only that, it is inflation, the risk premium and also what you think is going to happen with the economy. manus: this chart has just come back on the bloomberg which is buybacks. buybacks versus cable. everyone has made a great deal over the foreign complexion of ftse 100. do you expect more buybacks? does that allow them attitude? -- latitude? guest: from that point of view, it would seem to support it. you have the market rallying. possibility for them to support the market. much, danielyou so morris, senior investment strategist at bnp paribas. nejra: janet yellen makes the

a bit of a mixed fixture for equity -- mixed picture of equities. nejra: juliette saly in hong kong. thank you very much. janet yellen had laid out the case for keeping monetary policy easy. she suggested running the u.s. economy hot could fix growth problems and boost labor force participation. however, speaking at a boston fed conference on friday, she did not ruled out a rate increase this year. >> the natural next question is to ask whether it might be possible to reverse these adverse supply-side effects by temporarily running a by pressure economy with robust aggregate demand and a tight labor market. one can identify plausible ways in which this might occur. increased business sales would almost certainly raised the productive capacity of the economy by encouraging
2:10 am
additional capital spending, especially if a company reduced the uncertainty of future prospects. in addition, a tight labor market might throw in potential workers who might otherwise sit on the sidelines and encourage job to job transitions that could also lead to more hence, morend productive job matches. couldy, strong demand potentially yield significant productivity gains by, among other things, prompting higher levels of research and development spending and increasing the incentives to start new, innovative businesses. nejra: joining us now is david page, the senior economist. david, what is yellen doing here, keeping the fed options open? we have so many different policymakers with hawkish views,
2:11 am
but she says we could let the economy run hot. guest: this is the message she gave a very clearly in september. the economy had run around. we have a report which has suggested this is really growing at an accelerated pace. that makes it awkward for her. is keeping options open. there has not been any strong guidance the market is incorrectly priced. we still expect to see a december rate hike come through. the next reports will be interesting. yellen has a very splits committee. there are a number of people telling her to keep rates low time, monger period of but a distinct number want to see rates rise more quickly than period ofr a longer time, but a distinct number want to see rates rise more quickly nejra: you are still expecting that rate hike to come in december? guest: very much so.
2:12 am
bethought they would not able to move before the election, but the economies were sufficient to see them start withdrawal of what there is stimulus in the economy at that point. we have no expectation to move rates in november. the recommendation will be interesting because that is when the committee will have the final chance to signal to the markets over the next six weeks about what they intend to do? a significant change in medication strategy after that, if there is a change in the statement at that meeting, that is when you might start to double check. we certainly expect to see a rate hike at that time. nejra: you emphasize how data dependent the fed is. if they are looking at the economic data, anything that is going to be that different between now and november and between november and december? guest: one hopes not. we get to more payrolls report. the momentum at the -- we get to
2:13 am
being more payrolls reports. that is going to encourage the fed that they really do need to start moving policy further forwards. a very fastnd of expansion of the labor supply is something the fed has been talking about for years. back in 2014, they were talking about hoping to draw people back into the labor market. they are finally seeing that come through and do not want to choke it off too soon. i think there is a careful balance coming through and the fed's credibility about messaging, i think the put a lot of ethicists on seeing a rate hike this year and it would take a lot to shift that now -- a lot seeing a retyped this year and it would take a lot to shift that now. we have been seeing the breakeven rate move higher. e, theooking at ilb
2:14 am
breakeven 10 year. what are your thoughts on inflation? are you expecting that to keep sort of running higher? when do you expect it to reach the feds 2% target? guest: we are looking at cpi inflation picking up quite markedly. it is not only the base of fact, oil price base of that coming out, but we are starting to see the new prices coming over in oil prices. that helps to push the level higher. we expect normalization there. we expect is see core inflation picking up. labor costs are reasonably firm. i productivity growth is very could subdued. unit labor -- productivity growth is very subdued. we have been waiting for some time to see them catch up to the normalization in oil prices we have seen over the last couple of months. that seems to finally be happening now. that gives the fed some
2:15 am
confidence their mandate is within the perceivable future. nejra: d you think we will see strength at the end of the year if we get that hike but then perhaps a bit of a limit to dollar gains if we do not see a very speedy hiking cycle? what does that mean for the economy? guest: absolutely, we think that. we have seen a sharp move in dollar this last month or so. markets have more confidently rejected a rate hike coming through at year end. it is already being priced into the market. when the fed does titan, whenever that may be, or continue its mantra of gradual appreciation, part of that is going to be to allow the economy to run hot. markets will be very be assured the fed is not going to be tightening rates aggressively. that should limit the upside to the dollar from here which means the economy as a whole does not have the harsh headwind that had at the start of this year after a very strong among period of
2:16 am
depreciation. nejra: does that mean other parts of the world as well will not necessarily feel the harsh headwinds of a stronger dollar question market china, for example -- stronger dollar? china, for example. guest: yes. i think most people will be keen to avoid that. the fed only has so much leeway as to how much it can patro conl markets. this gradual pace should manage the impact for the dollar. you sodavid page, thank much for joining us for "daybreak: europe." could there be more to the uk economy that meets the eye? that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪

2:24 am
u.k. economy or is that something you are forecasting for the future? guest: we think sterling is cheap historically speaking, particularly against the u.s. dollar. if you look at the likely long-term effects, the fall in the pound is probably overdone now. it has probably gone over what you expected the damage from brexit to be. terms of this negative affect you are expecting to see, how long could those effects last and is there any point where the negative effects actually turned to a positive? guest: over the next couple of somes, that should be off that benefit from brexit to the extent they can extend freer trade and reduce tariffs on imports. that should provide some gains to consumers. there will be some offsets benefits in the long term. nejra: there is another report from ey coming out this morning,

monetary policy. it is looking more like the bank will avoid any further cuts in november at least. next year, seeto what happens. nejra: do you think we will see more of an easing bias or reversal in policy? we'll seeo not think a reversal. it would make the bank's communication policy look pretty poor. we might see policy level off and that the lower pounds act as a stimulus and support the economy with less need for further cuts in interest rates, for example. nejra: thank you so much to martin beck, you buy item club's adviser and report co-author. thank you for joining us on "daybreak: europe." the european open is up next. we have been talking about janet yellen saying there is a possibility to let the economy run hot and on the impacts on the market we saw on friday and today. stay with us here.
