7:02 am
last year, he stumbled across donald trump and according to a great piece, he decided maybe if i go to work and help raise him money, he should win, i could end up as treasury secretary. and that seems to be how it is playing out. jonathan: we were told by donald trump president-elect that he the swamp and then he makes appointees that make hem think that the swamp is not sold. mke: i would not call steve nuchin the mainstream finance guy that jamie dimon would he, so as president obama said yesterday, let's wait to see what happens. out, what isght it up next looking ahead at other appointments. a treasury secretary
7:03 am
that needs to be appointed, so what is next? mike: the other big talk around the public and in new york is rudy giuliani, the former mayor as top candidate for secretary of state, another head scratching because he has no foreign policy experience, donald trump has no foreign policy experience, so how does one guy the other? the other top choice spent a lot of time in foreign-policy establishment but is not considered mainstream in that. he is the guy who suggested at one point bombing iran -- [laughter] to bring them to the table. he had to be confirmed as u.n. ambassador with a recess appointment because he said it wasn't likely to approve and. there is -- approve him. their controversies around the choices. jonathan: we have been told one million times on this program to behe weeks, one week
7:04 am
precise, is that candidate trump will be different from president at fouren you look back years time. he ran against wall street and now he is set to a point, according to many, someone that for goldman sachs. that sounds except that we have seen a few times before. appointments be any difference what we have seen before? marty: he has to strike a balance between people who have -- corepetence into confidence in people associated with insiders. i would say that donald trump did not make wall street a major theme in his campaign. much more so, bernie sanders and hillary clinton. shockingthink it is that he reaches out to someone who works on wall street. frankly, there is a benefit to having experience on wall street in your treasury secretary because they have to figure out how to finance this nation and work with wall street to reassure them that they know what they are doing, so it may

7:06 am
demands on the government and treasury. not an easy task. jonathan: we're back to january with the back of the niels. they aren't -- with the yields. they are incredibly low. they mature and then they come back again, so these are incredibly low. at what point is it a problem? 2% on the 10 year is not a problem yet. ed: i don't think until we get north of 3% that we think about constraints on lending. there was a tremendous global demand for fixed income product. we have had no trouble selling bonds up to this point. that is driven by demographics and institutions that serve the people. i think the demand will stay with us, even if rates go higher and get cap. david: what about the dollar? it had a nice run up and taking a policy. historically, treasury has not do youned, but what
7:07 am
anticipate the policy of the trumpet administration to be with respect to the dollar? the old saying that the strong dollar is the best interest and makes the american people richer. it also makes it harder to export with earnings of companies that do business overseas, so mixed blessings. i suspect he will have it strong dollar policy. we donate so strong that it constrains growth in the u.s. jonathan: whoever takes over the treasury looks at what donald trump is done on the campaign trail, which was to say to china that your currency manipulates us comes a holiday managed that over the treasury? ed: the dynamic of trade will be complicated but it is not in our best interest to. start a trade war with anyone at the end of the day, -- interest to start a traitor with anyone. at the end of the day, we will have to have turned work. have many don't instances where the president and campaign has been so clear,
7:08 am
and he said he would do it on the first day. can he rack off of that? ed -- can he back off of that? ed: it is possible. we'll have to see what his policy will be. jonathan: a lot of people hoping that would not happen. ed keon will be sticking with us. time to look at headlines outside of business world with emma. emma: the president arrived in athens today, the first stop on his trip all in office. selection, trump president obama may have limited ability to influence talks with basis creditors -- with greece's editors. or the 200 apartments rated linked to true religion. the government has banned the organization. the german interior ministry said they radicalize young people and recruit them to go to syria to take part in the civil

jonathan: this is "bloomberg daybreak." outperforming, s&p 500 financials index up 11% over the past five days. our next guest has been betting on banks. keon.with us is ed a lot of excitement with the steepening yield curve. it seems to continue to support
7:13 am
the financials, at least in the near term. ed: the financial sector may have been the only part that is genuinely cheap heading into the election by historical standards. almost everything else looks expensive. secondly, a steeper yield curve is good for financial stocks across the board. aird, there is the hope of long way to go that the policy of president-elect trump will be more kind toward regulations and august stringent as some of prior -- and not as stringent as prior. david: it is inexpensive, low violation. it turns out, a good story. at what point do markets overreact? ed: i think we have a substantial way to go. thatould change in a heartbeat. there could be statements out of the new administration suggesting regulations will not be loosened as much or they will try to constrain the decrease in rates.
7:14 am
there are chances for things to go wrong when you start off cheap and you have tailwinds, that is a way to go. jonathan: sounds like a mount up. this time lastly, donald trump was the candidate with the fluid disability and now have clarity. i think the consensus about what is coming down the pipe, does not that worry you? ed: think about what it would look like it futures were down five points at 1% and the consensus has to notice 180 degrees. know forot say we sure. we definitely do not know what the policies will be. we will see how dramatic the change is in the market. until we get more information, there is risk to turn around. david: and the president is not all powerful trait bank regulation, there is a dodd-frank and you need congress corporation.
7:15 am
and also, steepening yield curve, in order to have that deficit financing, and but point is the market say it is not that easy? some ofou think about the things trump is talked about, infrastructure is a signature democratic program. my guess is a newly elected president who has led his party to victory across three houses will get pretty good support on congress. jonathan: what will the big headwinds are that self exist? exist? -- that still you can recalibrate but if you don't see it coming look at an aggressive snapback. is that a major headwind still? if financial trademarks over the long-term, you need to see the yield curve steepening and concrete steps saying that we will have lower regulations is -- then historically. becomewhen do we concerned about the story that -- about the debt?
7:16 am
when is that a concern for the marketplace? ed: you look at prices. if the national debt is a problem, you will see interest rates go closer to more historical averages. we are knowing near that, not just the united states but around the world. we have capacity left as a nation. jonathan: only get the japan-like situation and you never actually get the growth. what are the chances that happens? you get big spending and debt overhang but it doesn't gain traction and all? ed: you can get growth up over 3% for time. we do have the demographic headwind. 3.5%al reserve suggested to 4% growth in that post-world so ii time was less or so, it would attempt to get strong for multiple year periods but at growth, creating

7:21 am
commenting on not one individual bank to say that upfront, but i have said that what i see with the resolution board is our job for --re the king and -- our job to be forward-looking and have plans for the u.s. and markets, too, and to open up the avenue for private solutions and private solutions would always be coming first before you have an authority like us stepping in. david: explain in the united states-encourage that private resolution to some problems? is that through capital requirements? elke: capital requirements in europe are set by the supervisor, which break the euro areas is the single supervising mechanism for the largest banks in frankfurt, or i am currently.
7:22 am
the single resolution board is actually the equivalent to the fdic, so we would step in if the bank needs to get resolved. we are not the day-to-day government constant supervisor. only at the point when a bank fails or likely to fail, then we step in and then you have to reappoint a private solution and then this would be dominated to go. if there is no private solution, which i think is likely in this case, it is up to us to resolve the bank and bank resolution with our materials and tools to use to go from failing -- bail-in to asset management companies and a dedicated insolvency regime and nothing else. it is not about resurrection at that point in time. it is breaking the link between sovereign and banks within the respective country
7:23 am
and private solutions. the push out for private solution is creating another politicaproblem. you take the italian banks as an example. the bulk of the junior debtholders is retail. the prime minister has a problem. pushinggree that it is done the private solutions and european level? elke: i would put it differently . side hasf european decided bailing out is an unfair mechanism, so taxpayers bailing out private banks has cost the market quite a fortune. we have to work to make bail-and happening. you never start with a clean sheet of paper and without history. that into a knowledge some markets, italy is only one of the markets, and in the past, there has been a perceived understanding of thanks aren --

7:25 am
bank has an amateur of dealing with topics as last resort. the difference between the bank of england and the fed and ecb is that the ecb is the central bank of the system, so there are national central banks beyond. in addition, when you go for the sovereign, there is the [indiscernible] which has been established in the crisis. i think there is a sufficient amount of instruments to be used. once more, or me, the most important part is to make banks safer, which is the job that is basically the supervisors and has happened quite a lot. for us to have resolution plans so if something goes wrong, you have options to deal with, and for us, keep in mind, there is a single resolution fund at the end, which could be used to make

a resolution happen after there have been sufficient sharing's aura can be in a bail-in -- or it can be in a bail-in. jonathan: great to have you on the program. fx market, dollar seen big gains from donald trump surprise when. we will be speaking to deutsche bank global head of research and whether the dollar went too far in expectation. that is coming up next, counting you down to the cache open, two hours and four minutes away. 500. -- rate on the s&p positive three on the s&p 500 very this is bloomberg. -- 500. this is bloomberg. ♪ wow, x1 has netflix?

is shared by all. london,oining us from "surveillance's" tom keene. this strikes me that this is one of the most important and difficult issues we face around the world. when you look at brexit and the election here and the ones coming up, the ability of the elite to persuade everyman that this is good for them, globalization is good for them, a tall order. francine lacqua nailed it, the difference of the speech last night and the speech a few weeks ago to her conservative party in birmingham, they were starkly different messages. it is the reaffirmation of the new britain and idea that it is symbolism of the new runway a heathrowghout or -- of or bring alone, the idea that globalization is with the united kingdom needs. david: going back to that speech at the conservative party
7:33 am
conference, that was a high street speech, for the regular bloke on the street. how does she persuade or elites around the world persuade the common worker that this globalization benefits them and their pocketbook? tom: secretary clinton did not persuade in america. the backdrop for this is the debate of brexit. i was having dinner last night in a small indian restaurant and outside was an old mercedes, and all across the back was "leave, leave, leave, leave." people are still driving around with remaining bumper stickers on their car. this debate is not over, and the key idea moving forward for the prime minister is to try to coalesce on the article 50 and onto the high court study of whether parliament will be involved. it is very ambiguous now where prime minister may will be three
7:34 am
next david:n the year. she has not been forthcoming in laying out plans for how to remove themselves from the european union but in fairness to her, beyond ambiguity, is there an inconsistency? on one hand, we "leave, leave, leave," but then we want to be "global, global, global." tom: it goes back to what you said about the two separate world of the united kingdom. mr. trump faces that in america. i do not see any bringing together of those two groups. they will make it up as they go. in one thing i felt resilient london in the days i have been here, is dying to their making this up as a nation as they go. ferro pointedn out something he found online, there was an irony in front of a lot elderly, rich white men in
7:35 am
tie in guilds thrones, these big chairs and a glorious setting with armor around, talking about protecting the common man. tom: jonathan ferro has been there many times, representing but lord of ferrodom, ro knows everything was in this nation, as with what president-elect trump will base, is a moment of symbolism and that was captured last night. jonathan: i also know what indian restaurant you are in and itas not your average one, but i will not say which one. david: i have a favorite indian restaurant but probably not that one. thank you. two men from 7:00 a.m. with tom keene and david gura. this has always been a problem, in the late 1990's, the idea was shunned a that traditional outfit and would go in a lounge suit as he wanted to be seen as a man as a common man.

7:37 am
compared to what is going on in europe. >> i was trained to look at drivers, or does driving the numbers? , there are driver many drivers, but the biggest in the united states today is aging demographics. jonathan: deutsche bank's global head of fx joining us now. the red line is like a ceiling to the dollar index over the last years. you hit 100 and bounceback again. i will ask the question, what is to say that will not happen again and again? we will break that eventually. we will pause right now, 100.5 would be a big moment to read if we start breaking about we willt eventually. we will pause right there, i think the dollar rally is full on. we are in a face now with donald trump where we talk about promise. at some point, it will be about delivery and not just delivery
7:38 am
but in the economic impact and said policy, etc. -- and fed policy, etc. well before that, we will be breaking through the sandals. jonathan: the idea that we will get exactly what he has promised and the fed will respond and then the dollar will go higher, how fragile is that consensus by now? alan: not as fragile as it looks. 25 stimulus in the order of gdp, so i think the genius is you ask but to the 5% and you get to prestress you ask for 25% but get 2% or 3%. it is when you go with the reagan tax reforms, so i think you get a sizable fiscal stimulus coming. david: what is the limiting factor on the dollar rising? it has historically been the fed. they will be getting it back down. if that goes away, at what point does the trump administration
7:39 am
worry about the dollar going too far a what did they do? alan: speed this matter and not just levels. historically, you look at the strong dollar and it has a negative impact on trade. you see the current account deficits spiraling out and that becomes a big problem if you get to that point. thisicts go directly with direction, the trade and exchange rate policy on conflict. index went up another 10%, we would have these negative trait affects and i behoove theld administration to push against it. jonathan: i will bring up the dotplot and each individual represents an official in the fed and where they think rates will be. traditionally, we are used to
7:40 am
the far right's coming down. will we see it just avoids on the back of a trump presidency? is that upset? i haveot sure because never really liked that long-term equilibrium. is the fund rate cycle, but they should be focused on two 2018.i think7 and they could go up with fiscal stimulus in 2018 and then you have the market chasing the dots. a change in dynamic that would be helpful for the dollar. david: how much of the dollar is tied up in uncertainty on if trunk and get when he once in terms of stimulated spending? if you knew he would get everything he wants in terms of tax, infrastructure, where would the dollar be going? alan: i would be worried if he got everything he wanted. i think he has to right size the fiscal package, in the order of

7:45 am
the idea that may be there possibilities in terms of [indiscernible] and not quite as small as previously assumed. jonathan: we have dominated the fx story by looking at dollar crosses and across on the andmberg this morning, euro swiss. it has been so well bid on on the last weekend and stayed there, even when the yen have weekend. what does that tell the euro switch right now? alan: around the brexit story, the anchor, but it seems like the pressure is so wayng that they gave it the in a sense. it does to you there is some intensity here. if you have got genuine political risk in europe, it relates -- i mentioned brands, but you have merkel, will she run again?
7:46 am
the italian referendum coming up is creating much attention. david: if there is political concerned about europe, you can go to switzerland. what about the yen? isaac weakening -- why is it weakening? is very much about the dollar. the yen was great that you could go along with a bit of the hedge into the election. 102,eek ago, it was 101, so we have had to rethink things. we have rethought things in terms of currency forecast. we previously thought we get below 100, the path dependent yen will trigger hedging activity and drive us to the low 90's. that seems to be off the boil and now we look back to orthodox interest-rate spreads, fiscal policy and what it means for rate spreads in terms of jgb,
7:47 am
treasury, etc. it seems like the path of least resistance is dollar-yen. jonathan: just trying to think about that in a little more detail, how is that going to result in the coming weeks? alan: it is not just unwind the carry trade. this is dollar strength across the board. really, onequestion of the more difficult questions out there, is really whether the unwind and the carry trade will persist. russia,es like brazil, indonesia -- these currencies were so popular before the election and now have unwound heavier day today but have the sense that with all this -- day to day, but with a sense that kerry will have a hard time being put on for assisting period of time. jonathan: should that be supportive of the euro? alan: if you put short carry

7:53 am
a lot of political risk in europe and that has not properly been priced. as a result, political risk would be the driver for european yields and the currency. jonathan: simon, look at next income, spreads blowing out a bit but the euro weaker. president mario draghi has to think about this and has credit house that while it has bubbled doing the background? simon: credit has proved resilient. we have the corporate sector only one points 8 billion taken last week, but that is the weekly average and that was the lowest amount since early september. that is a decent underpinning for the demand and supply dynamics. credit weekend over the course of the last week with political volatility and that remains the case throughout the evolution of that story and headlines. better today with treasuries coming back in the hunt for
7:54 am
yield back on and summer spike in higher debt service costs concerns that hit some of the high-yield names the couple days ago. treasury at the front end of the curve usually means a weaker dollar, but that wasn't the story over the last week. we have u.s. retail sales in about 36 minutes and a load of fed speakers. a consensus over the last week that the dollar continues to go higher and it will not be headwinds in the fed will not step in. that consensus, so how fragile is it? rich: the dollar does matter. we know that because the fed has talked about it throughout the year. saying form the fed hikes this year last december and we will get one maybe and the dollar had a lot to do with that. it is important. there was reason to believe the dollar could continue to outperform other currencies. as a result, it makes monetary policy more cloudy in terms of
7:55 am

pretty great to have you with us. the appointments that will eventually come from president-elect donald trump. as you watch bill, what are you looking for specifically that would of the -- as you watch at them, what are you looking for specifically that would be about the market? guest: the key things where looking at is fiscal stimulus. for a long time, we have been stuck and as malaise of slow growth and the u.s. struggling to get above 2% and monetary evident.s fell the fed has been dovish. only one hike. policy could be much more powerful and we are looking confirmation of the stimulus that donald trump talked about. infrastructure spending and tax cuts and how that might to be
8:06 am
legislated. david: break that down. you talked about tax cuts and infrastructures lending. of the two, do the markets need more -- one more than the other? jeremy: i guess, different opinions from different people. my point of view, what is needed is a shift from relying only on low interest rates and recognition there must be things that could be done now until very recently that was low government bond yields. the government should be able to find projects worth doing. a low yields. i would say the most powerful stimulus could come through infrastructure spending. there's a case for tax reform on the corporation tax side. from sources i spoke to, a new hia policy, letting them bring currency into the u.s. and
8:07 am
personal tax cuts. all of it adds up to turned away from just relying go monetary policy and low interest rates, which is boosted asset markets but done relatively little for economic growth. more toward fiscal policy which many other proponents of the pieces believes could drag us out on the low growth malaise. today,n: from the fed and rosen speaking right now, not shooting down december and he prefers hikes to be gradual. after this point, a very strong dollar and yields backing up in the federal reserve officials not stepping in. it feels and seems like it will be the treasury's problem to address the dollar. what are they going to do with it when a president-elect donald trump said he will call china a currency manipulator. how do expect the treasury to handle it as the fed appears to be stepping back?
8:08 am
jeremy: i think the dollars potentially going to go a lot higher if we go down the route of extra stimulus and that will raise equilibrium real interest rates as should boost economic growth. that will bring the fed into more than before, faster than before normalizing on a more accelerated path. that mixture of growth stimulus could be very powerful for the currency. it's made not to be much that the treasury and anybody else could do over time. the -- realplate is template is the night and 85 cycle when president reagan cut taxes and the dollar had a very strong up cycle. i do not think you can draw that analogy too far. .ot facing 20%
8:09 am
something similar along those lines is how i think things play out. as far as the chinese, most people think the chinese policy is overvalued. china is trying to really prop up the currency. really it would be a bit of a a fourth avenue to go through the manipulation route with china at this point. david: tie this together and make a more specific area if i am an investor and i awake and got this morning, mi rebalancing my portfolio? if so, in what ways? jeremy: we think so. if you're going to have higher yields and a stronger dollar, that is not normally good for emerging markets. we rebalanced our recommendations away for that reason alone. on have trump's threat policy and the whole of america first dynamic, which is anti-. we go toward dm.

the fourth quarter off to a good start. you look, a somewhat noisy figure. is there a lad as it shows up in gdp? lag?ong of a lack -- gary stern: it should show up in fourth-quarter gdp immediately. out with theirme first estimate in january, they may not have december, but they will have this. a gdp right away. that is why i am constructive about it. jonathan: let's construct what the consensus is. the consensus is a we will get fiscal stimulus and the federal reserve will push back with higher rates may be. the conversation we were having earlier, janet yellen put out at the idea of running a high pressured hot economy. is this the perfect opportunity to do this? shaping up it is
8:35 am
that way especially if you have sizable fiscal stimulus and i would go further and suggest that modest interest rate stemming from said been policy are not inconsistent with a hot economy. will turn out to be what kind of response, if any, do we get from inflation. quiescent,n remains if it remains subdued, that gives policymakers lots and lots of leeway. the other is it is not just a question of immediate inflation readings but what happens to inflation forecast. we will not know that until the fed chairs and their latest -- shares their latest with us. david: we have become so accustomed to relying on monetary policy to drive growth,
8:36 am
people are saying we are about to make a handoff. back to fiscal policy. are there risks in making the handoff clearly? if so, what are they? theretern: i do not think are any big risks immediately because i do not think the fed will be sufficiently aggressive to try to offset the prospective fiscal policy. is,question one would ask how effective will fiscal? policy be -- fiscal policy be? i am not particularly negative of the. -- negative about it. if it will come so aggressive and you're looking at future deficit that are really outside of historical experience unlikely in people's minds to change, that will not be productive. fiscal policy can it be expansionary, but it needs to be
8:37 am
judicious in my opinion. jonathan: i want to draw your experience in the said but to the 19 -- in the said evan -- the fed in the 1980's. how you model and made forecast when as they were proposals at the time, how did you forecast that? the federal reserve gets together at the end of this year. your running the minneapolis fed not understand how you do it when you do not know what is happening yet. gary stern: you give it your best shot. you may have all kind of qualifiers and caveats around it but we have economic models that enable us to plug-in significant tax cuts. significant spending increase and infrastructure and offense. -- defense. the models will grind out a forecast for you.
8:38 am
you can change or monetary policy assumptions if you want to. the thing is, you do not take the model results simply and writing them down. at least i didn't. i gave it some judgment at thought about how did i think of this was going to play out. was under no illusions i would be precisely correct. i hoped to be directionally correct. directionally correct at this point is if fiscal policy is expansionary and judicious and monetary policy pushes back but only modestly, i think you are going to have a higher path for economic growth at least in the short term. and you should probably expect more inflationary bailey said the short term. probably not right away because there's a lot of inertia in the process. david: let's go back to that inflation inertia and judicious was the word you use about fiscal policy.
8:39 am
how concerned would you be at the fed about a substantial policy right now when we have an economy many feel like is close to full employment. go into that world, doesn't that raise the specter of inflation? gary stern: it does. one should because she is about relying heavily on cost inflation -- should be cautious about relying heavily on cost inflation. if does raise the concern. on the other hand, the economy was operating in a very high levels of capacity through much of the 1990's. what we found, at least what i found was that there was more flexibility, especially in the labor market, then you might have guessed. not because people are flooding back into the market, more because a lot of people because of their schedules and so forth were very happy to have two or three part-time jobs. well that theyem

we spoke to alan greenspan and gave us his thoughts. i would like to go back to square one, repeal dodd-frank and come in with a large increase in equity to asset ratios for all financial intermediaries. there is very little else you need to do the regulatory system that would not be solved with that simple regulation. still with us is gary stern, former president of the federal reserve bank of minneapolis. we have had such a run of regulation over the past eight years. what will be left of it and president trumps administration? hard torn: it is forecast how far they will want to go and how it will play out. it is dodd-frank is on the table, as it apparently is, some aspects of dodd-frank have been effective.

8:46 am
capital. the eroding, as far as you're concerned, how negative has that been? we have seen some clearly drying up of liquidity in financial markets that is costly. we should not kid ourselves. we have seen some institutions neededk more than they to even given dodd-frank just to try to steer clear of problems that might conceivably arise. it is always difficult to strike the appropriate balance. we have seen this before quite honestly. you get a financial crisis, the pendulum swings out toward regulation and supervision. then, as we are seeing now, a reaction to that. the pendulum back and that is all well and good. hopefully, it will not go way back. we do not want to engineer or permit another financial crisis if we can avoid it.

you look at the institutions that went under, lehman brother, aig, none of them were commercial brinks -- bank. it is true, some commercial banks got into serious difficulties and needed government support. their problems do not stem principally from the elimination of glass-steagall either. you can put the glass-steagall back in if you want. i would not have any expectations it would be helpful and maybe harmful. because i do not think blanding commercial and investment banking either was at the heart .f the problem in the past jonathan: another example was in the united kingdom. retail. nothing having to deal with what the regulatory and politicians call casino banking. david: they are different creatures. take a jpmorgan and your local

from new york city, welcome to bloomberg daybreak. i'm jonathan ferro. along with david westin. alix steel is on assignment. futures are positive. points on the dow. five points on the s&p 500. treasuries were rallying. the dollar -- a stronger dollar on that cross. david: here's what you need to know. donald trump's treasury. former goldman sachs partner is said to be the top choice to serve as treasury secretary. waiting for the decision from the president-elect. market fallout from trump's win eases off.
9:01 am
emerging market stocks and currencies are gaining for the first time in a week. sales rose more than forecast. vice chairman stanley fischer will be at brookings at 1:30 p.m. eastern time. we will have coverage. abigail: we have u.s. equity futures modestly higher this morning. after that better-than-expected retail print for the month of october. the real strength for the nasdaq really being helped by a recovery in the big internet names. facebook and alphabet. we are looking at copper and iron both down sharply. copper is on pace for its best .onth
9:02 am
iron just recently hit a record high. it will be interesting to see whether or not that proves consolidation. u.s. steel and clips natural, all of these stocks have been on a monster rally up more than 25% each from last monday through yesterday's close. a bit of a breather for the metals and miners. who oversawe man the ecb at the height of the eurozone debt crisis. former ecb president jean-claude trichet. he joins us now from frankfurt. i want you to break an embargo for me. in about 45 minutes you will deliver a lecture on europe. i want to know what's going to feature more -- trump or brexit.
9:03 am
in my perspective both are linked clearly. they signaled that there is a level of frustration in people in the middle class of the advanced economies. it's not only u.k. or the united states of america. it is certainly a message coming from our own people more or less suggesting things are waiting to rapidly. of india, china, mexico, brazil, the rise of technology of i.t. all of this is creating a level andnxiety which is for real we have to accept that and give the appropriate response. it's a problem for all advanced.
9:04 am
economies. jonathan: when you ran the ecb it was always looked as an opportunity for more europe. is that still an opportunity or is that now the problem? in a way we had a lot of decisions which were taken in the crisis to cope with the crisis. decisions taken in the open governance. we have of course the banking union. these are very important decisions which were taken in the crisis and have to be implemented. me that more europe is absolutely needed in the domain of defense, security. police a federal border
9:05 am
clearly with the migration and so forth. we have a lot of things to . it is not really disputed. it's difficult. europe is a historical endeavor. we are making history in europe. one has to accept that. to make history is not easy. it's complicated. you do not have a blueprint. made of aas not blueprint. it was the u.s. citizens that created the united states. challenges butf as you know i'm optimistic on the long-term success of the european endeavor. that optimism. on the one hand, anxiety about too much change among the middle class which creates political exactly the sort
9:06 am
of further integration and developments you need in europe. how do you put those things together? is it politically doable? life in allhat advanced economy is not easy. it is complicated. and it will be complicated for a long time because the rise of india, brazil and mexico, china is there for a long period of time. you cannot expect that you would prevent science and technology to surge magnificently but of course with a lot of consequences. everything is difficult. what i am reasonably confident in is the fact that most of our challenges in europe are continental challenges and not single individual countries challenges. second i really trust that on
9:07 am
the continent and i include ireland -- in the u.k. there is a very strong sentiment that we engaged in a historical endeavor and that a deeper union is part of our historical endeavor since world war ii. it's a very long historical endeavor. proved resilience in the crisis in a way which was always underestimated in the u.s. and in asia. we proved a capacity to be resilient in the worst financial circumstances since world war ii. this is also part of my intimate conviction that we are resilient and that the project is resilient. jonathan: the resilience of the project largely attributed to the actions of the european central bank. the bond buying program that was
9:08 am
introduced by president draghi was largely the reason the financial crisis was effectively sold. i want to talk about how things have changed. back then the story was about financial markets pushing a country out of the eurozone project. now we are talking about an electorate bush in a count out of the eurozone project. that's a big change. pushing a country out of the eurozone project. that's a big change. the threats of the eurozone project is not coming from financial markets, it's coming from the electorate. do you not see that as a threat? >> i think you are right of course. the resilience of the technical part and economic part of the project has now to cope with this populist move and
9:09 am
protectionist move for that we see in all advanced economies. say that theto overall political stress that we had at the moment of the crisis was also very grave. take greece. a very strong was position to adjustment. it was a very strong position to the so-called conditionality which was coming from the imf and the european friends. still the people of greece very clearly said we don't want to lose our own belonging to europe and our own belonging to the euro area. trust that you could say what happened in the u.k. is likely to happen on the continent. the same populist protectionist
9:10 am
move is there. that's absolutely undenble. i don't think it would crystallize in the political will to abandon europe. we are more or less in a different universe. that can be explained by history quite well. the history of the u.k. is not the history of the continental europeans that i'm referring to. and i include ireland. in 2012 the solution to the eurozone debt crisis was an unlimited bond buying program. that insulated the bond market. what's going to be the equivalent for politics? we will see what happens. up to the governing
9:11 am
council to decide what to do on the monetary policy side and i in the ecbonfidence and the federal reserve. they have been very wise in the past and they will be very wise in the future. as regards the political aspect i think to prove that europe is useful you have this dimension of domestic security fight against terrorism, defense and control of the border which can only be done at the level of europe as a whole. i expect it is in this various dimensions that the political proof of the usefulness of europe will be given. at the polls and survey there is an overwhelming majority of people in europe to say that we should unite more
9:12 am
security, defense and fight against terrorism. we will see what happens. in any case it is history in the making. it is our own people who will decide what they want. ii,t forget since world war 66 years ago, something started. which goes on and on and on. and was obviously much more ambitious than was imagined at the very beginning. great to speak to you again. the former ecb president, jean-claude trichet. i believe we have some breaking news. david: news coming out of volkswagen. they have reached an accord to fix most of the tainted cars. the deal appears with regulators.
9:13 am
they will not have to buy back all of the cars. will save as much as $4 billion. this is a deal with regulators, not with car owners themselves. they still have to make a deal with the car owners. this could be a big break for volkswagen as they try to put his scandal behind them. a deal with regulators is being reported. jonathan: let's get your update on news. let's get across to emma chandra.emm emma: president obama is in greece. he may have limited ability to negotiate with creditors in the wake of donald trump selection. he also made a point to reassure europe about the u.s. commitment to nato. recognitionere is a that the nato alliance is absolutely vital in the
9:14 am
transatlantic relationship is the cornerstone of our mutual security as well as prosperity. mma: trump had questioned the u.s. commitment to nato. former house intelligence committee chairman mike rogers has abruptly left donald trump's commission -- transition planning committee. the move came at the request of team officials. rogers had been tapped to help guide the new administration on national security issues. russia's economy minister has been detained over accusations he took a $2 million bribe. the government says he was caught in the act of receiving money. he is suspected of demanding a approvingxchange for rosneft's purchase. i'm emma chandra. this is bloomberg.

9:19 am
consumers spend more which strengthens the case for the fed if they want to raise rates. december. now for i don't know who the 6% are. a --dn't we see that with the political polls? if that comes in anywhere near consensus you might as well. jonathan: we are almost looking past december now. asked the question are we going to keep running at a rate of 25 basis points every 12 months or are things going to change? you would expect a recalibration expectations and inflation expectations. how do they make those kind of forecast? >> they don't. it's like london in the 1950's where it was foggy and smoky every day. what we are hearing from all of is decemberficials
9:20 am
may be a good time to raise rates. the case for at least discussing it is stronger that has been. jeff black are from richmond saying we don't know what's going to happen in 2017 because we don't know what the fiscal plan is going to be. they are supposed to come up with a new forecast for the economy at the december meeting. i would imagine they would hedge those quite a bit because they could easily change by january. jonathan: michael mckee. , amazon andacebook alphabet have all fallen to its trump was elected president. what's driving the tech route. we are 10 minutes away from the cash of an. futures marginally positive.

got to process all of this and make a move. we will startrm thinking in more detail. corporate tax structure. the idea that all of this money is coming home and they are going to repatriate the cash -- how difficult is that process? >> we saw it under george w. bush. the effects were not what was promised. most of the money went to share andacks and dividends bonuses for executives. it did not in fact lead to it last time. there's no reason to think it will be any different this time. the overall level of corporate income tax. pay a rateporations that is the same. it will benefit disproportionately the ones that

pay higher taxes now. >> the ones that have been playing by the rules. you have companies like intel and hewlett-packard that have been very clever about the way they reorganize themselves in tax structure to set up in places like ireland that have low tax rates. that doesn't mean they won't repatriate. have lessan they will incentive for less benefit from a lower tax rate. david: some companies that play by the rules could really benefit. wall street is guessing right now and it is making some ridiculous assumptions. the notion that donald trump could somehow prosecute amazon for needing to pay higher taxes or antitrust is frankly ridiculous. there are people who have sold the stock based on that notion. wall street is reacting to things that may or may not happen and a lot of them probably won't happen very fast. david: thank you, cory johnson. jonathan: you're looking at live

9:43 am
prospects for higher fiscal stimulus in the united states protectionally some harry trade policies that could temporarily boost inflation naturally that will change the course for the treasury market and it has done so. interest rates have risen. the yield curve has initially steep and. flatten.rting to think what investors are focused on now is where is this going to pause? one of the things we pointed out by looking at charts is that level on the 30 u.s. 10 year is a level we have to contain some of the weakness in the bond market. i think we will have some consolidation around these levels and as we move into the new year through the
9:44 am
inauguration and we get to have some clarity on what the president is going to be able to do with his policies and agenda then we can have more clarity on the outlook. jonathan: you have been a big bond bull. there's a huge consensus built up over the last week. fair, pretty much nothing. this was not a trade last week. are you concerned about how consensus the trade has become? i think the consensus has shifted for good reason. i think there is some concern over the timing and the extent to which president-elect trump will be able to follow through campaign promises specifically with infrastructure spending and tax cuts.
9:45 am
that could occur earlier in his administration or later in the first couple years of his administration. i think there is uncertainty around the timing of that. there's also a lot of uncertainty around how the fed is going to react to those policies as they are put into place. that's what we have seen in the bond market. intermediate maturity treasury yields rising more than relative to what we have seen in the very front end of the yield curve. underperformance in intermediate maturity treasuries is really reflecting the uncertainty around fed policy at the end of the day. you have revised your forecast. hsbc has done the same for the near term. the inflation risk premium has driven up yields. on the research team at hsbc they think the treasury selloff is going to be self-limiting
9:46 am
taking more away from growth than any fiscal stimulus. and hsbc thinks the yields are going to roll back over again in the medium to longererm. the expectation of fiscal stimulus on the one side and on the other the self-limiting aspect of a selloff, how do those collide for you? >> that's absolutely the right way of thinking about it. you do have colliding forces in market places. that's a natural occurrence. when you are looking at the treasury market itself one of the things we are focused on is to what extent real interest rates are rising. financialt extent conditions are tightening. we have certainly seen a reasonable tightening in financial conditions since the election. we have had the u.s. dollar strengthened considerably. you have seen some increase in real interest rates. that is going to be the focus to
9:47 am
what extent do financial conditions tighten? to the extent they tighten a lot we would expect risk assets to take it on the chin. we haven't quite seen that yet. from our perspective there is still a little bit more room to the upside. eventually these moves becomes of controlling and that is a reasonable way of approaching it. jonathan: thank you, matthew hornbach. next its bloomberg markets. mark barton and vonnie quinn coming up. what's on the show? the big rotation out of bonds is finally materializing. trumpo of abn amro says wind isn't necessarily bad for emerging markets. he said it's too diverse an asset class to avoid generalities. sticking with the bond theme,

9:54 am
actually improved financial conditions so there's not the type of tightening that should be telling the fed they should ease off. gives us the final blessing on thursday. it was jvc testimony from ben bernanke that started the taper tantrum. what's going to drive the fed next year is not this trump onomics stimulus. the pump economic -- trump economic plan may have more impact on 2018 fed tightening. growth story led will be what moves the needle in 2017. withhan: let's start december. this is a summary of economic projections.

9:56 am
necessarily fiscally conservative. we are going to see tax cuts and spending on military. this should tell you that growth will be faster than what the fed was initially projecting. the last update from the fed, they told us they're projecting 2% gdp growth next year. if this fiscal tailwind engages and they potentially have to update their growth estimates that will meet the fed will potentially have to move at a modestly faster pace. jonathan: carl riccadonna, i have some sympathy for them in december. a little bit of sympathy for the federal reserve. just a little bit. it's a tremendous vote of confidence from the fed and an endorsement to continue tightening at the december meeting. beengnal things have not abruptly realigned by what has happened in terms of macroeconomic conditions. jonathan: carl riccadonna, great to have you. wrapping up the outlook for fed speak and that wraps up this program. equities down on the dow. up by .2.0 from new york, this is bloomberg. up next is bloomberg markets with vonnie quinn and mark barton. ♪
