7:18 pm
it shows the change occurring in markets and positioning going on. it is a shot across the bow. i think it is likely to continue. yvonne: what have we learned when it comes to pricing in geopolitical risk? talking about italy, germany and france. these elections. how do you square all that? real question is proper geopolitical risk, things that are badly expected are if you think about these events, everyone had taken a position. predicted the outcome, they did not predict the way the market would react. people are so were grossly positioned for some of these negatives, the market can work in the opposite direction even if it comes true. yvonne: it seems as if you are
7:19 pm
taking a cautious approach. you mentioned cyclicals, but you have to be selective. the coupling we have seen when it comes to cyclicals, it may have been driven by this surge in yields we see globally. once that stabilizes, what do you think that means for this run for assets? josh: it doesn't always go in one direction. i think it comes back to the point, we have had a 35 b year bull run in bonds. are we going to see a change in that direction? the common belief is we cannot see inflation again. yields cannot change direction. if people start to question that, it is going to change the way people allocate their assets. is thatjapan and china,
7:20 pm
going to be the play for 2017? how much momentum is behind some of these bull markets? josh: it will take time. a 35 year market trend, if it is going to change, it will take people time to change their minds. i think it will take time and be a bit of a cautious approach. i think there are going to be opportunities and people are going to be more selective. some of the cyclical assets have run very hard to read some of them, the fundamentals are not going to change. it is about to get about the changes going on, changes in attitude towards pollution in china. what it will mean not just for the type of assets but but the ty of commodities. ramy: in terms of specific stocks, what you think might be a jump in terms of that?
7:21 pm
josh: if we look at what has happened over the last few months, surges in cold and iron or, we saw negative positioning and low levels of pricing. we saw a bit more interest come into those areas. i would see that movement in other areas that are impacted. things like steel prices, for example, these are areas that could be more interesting going forward. copper,ok at areas like that being an area getting more interest at the moment, it does fit within the same aspects. we don't have quite that same tension with cash relative to production. supply cuts are less likely. the we look at that i demand from the buildout of the china infrastructure grid, that is less likely to reignite in the same way. that is where you need to make tween whatations be
7:22 pm
you have access to. ramy: i have to bring up oil. we have seen a lot of volatility off of the opec trade deal. what are your thoughts on where this is going? this could be a foundation for you. but maybe not if we see a default. josh: if we look at oil from the technical perspective, the top end of the range, there will be a bit of difficulty there. i prefer to go back to what we see from a fundamental perspective. the change we have had from the premise of the coil we were talking about a few years ago, we are seeing genuine demand, challenge to demand. s energy policy. for theicient standards transport fleet. fundamental changes. from a supply perspective, we have seen shale.
7:23 pm
shale has a much faster cost out. from those perspectives, i think we should expect a lower trading range in oil and a bit more caps for the upside. always the possibility for a event or terrorist event, but over the long run, that is how we expect oil to play out. ramy: the head of asian equities . thank you very much for your time. still ahead, the looming trump presidency oils markets, the financial sector has new reasons for optimism. why a couple of banking boxes are getting -- thanking bosses are getting very bullish. ♪

7:36 pm
from the ecb. that happens thursday night, 0.5% for the sx 200. let me check in on the japanese yen. of thes that because central bank decisions and the holiday, we are unlikely to see big moves in dollar-yen. in terms of stock watch, here in the u.s. at least, telecoms and financials got the biggest bond. anything similar on your side? david: how look at tpg telco. it is very much a local story. these three others, softbank. thet of this comes down to meeting between its founder and donald trump. it is taken from a previous pool of money softbank essentially said side. it loads well for the company.
