1:49 am
monetary policy decision. them to raiseect productions while keeping the key interest rate at a record low. manus: for more on what to expect from today's decision let's head to the bank of england. mark carney has a very fine line to tread today. he is in neutral mode but any surprises under the hat? reporter: absolutely. a very fine and delicate balancing act as always. balancing the fact we have had a stronger growth and inflation recently, a potential risk down the line. no change expected to the key interest rate. what's we might see our new forecasts and an update for growth and inflation.
1:50 am
1.4 percent growth, 2.7% inflation for 2017. expecting an upgrade to those numbers. give the thing that mark carney emphasized in a november was a neutral stance. the next move in the bank of england could be either up or down and that is what we will be waiting to hear about at the meeting today and the press conference. markets are pricing and more likely to a rate hike than a cuts. that question, which direction with the bank of england moving next. markets falling on one side rather than the other. guest: markets take into account -- account the economic fundamentals in the u.k. since the meeting of november. we have seen solid growth, a pickup in inflation. sterling has stabilized but nonetheless the economic fundamentals have picked up. the markets have probably been
1:51 am
listening to mark carney himself who did say the bank of england would be less tolerant of above target inflation. they are in fact pricing in a greater probability of a rate -- ratherer than a than a cuts cut and a 50% chance this year. how will you manage those expectations? hawkish toneke a or in the risk to the outlook from brexit? certainly something he brought up before and he is likely to bring it up again. some say brexit is the only thing standing between a rate rise. bringing you that decision when it happens at 12:00 followed by the bank of england governor mark carney holding his news conference at 12:30. get the strategy
1:52 am
group at citigroup, the world's biggest currency trader. here to talk about the u.k., europe, and later about the u.s.. great to catch you as you fly through london. let's start the conversation about the u.k.. move ishink the next higher and when does it come? stephen: it is true that brexit is the only thing standing in the way of a hike but it is a pretty big elephant. it will be there for quite a while. retrospect may have been a necessary ease. i think they will emphasize don't extrapolate anything we do here. let's start with a simple
1:53 am
points. do you think he will be neutral with no hint of a hawkish stone? stephen: even if he thinks he might be hiking over the next six or mine months -- nine months. whyou will not do it today, tease the market? i do think the fact that growth is better and inflation is higher than they thought, with respect to commencing on policy i think let's of the market draw modest conclusions as opposed to guiding the markets. when does inflation you need to look to turn into inflation you need to react to? there's this argument that you look through that but at some point you start to talk about secondary inflation and working it's way more into the economy. stephen: that's one of the
1:54 am
reasons central banks pay so much attention to wages. if you get an increase in prices from a weak sterling or from oil and doesn't show up in wages yards that it shows up as an inflationary spiral is persistent that inflation is pretty low. that, thence for history of the last 30 years tells us the path through is not as strong as we thought it was. wait and see whether there is a pass-through into the wage cycle. manus: we have to get some rate levels on sterling. did theresa may get the market to price brexit for a hard brexit at 120, 125? stephen: i think 120 is about right. -- 1.20. sterling is really cheap and i
1:55 am
idea that they lower it for a an extended appeared of time --. of time. it would get investors buying u.k. assets. it could go lower and obviously we backed away from the most higher of brexit risks but i think that we are not a mile away from where we are going to be at the end of the process. my guess is five years from now sterling will be higher, not lower. anna: the euro versus the sterling? there is risk on the calendar, isn't there? is that overdone in the minds of market players? stephen: it is there because it exists. begetter thee dutch elections, the french
1:56 am
elections, the german elections with no surprise. the italian election seems to be the one that has the most risk. it is weighing on the euro. very weekly, where is the firesale? we are using a firesale? stephen: when you translate the pound price into foreign currency, investors are looking at cheaper u.s. assets and real estate people that are very interested in what is happening in the u.k.. everybody is looking to do like for like with u.k. against local firms. the cheaper it gets hard the harder it is to keep it down there. anna: thank you very much. stay with bloomberg. earnings from shell at the top of the hour. we will be speaking to the company's ceo. his first television interview of the day on the european market open share. manus: also talking to the cfo of deutsche bank and those are the big blockbuster earnings as

2:22 am
of talking down the currency if you are doing the big fiscal policy initiative, i think will be very unsuccessful. capital flows will follow incentives and u.s. rates will be higher. money would go to the u.s. so it would be hard to talk down the dollar unless you are willing to subsume your inflation targets. it can get nominal rates down but if you do fiscal policy at the end of the business cycle, your exchange rate will go up. they are talking the dollar down but on the other hand policy announcement as we know them so far have been dollar positive. have the fiscal structure we expected where if hillary
2:23 am
were to be elected. the market will say that kind of noes sense that there is trust and the dollar is expensive, there is some expectations built in. the dollar should fall but if you are doing some that looks like the house plan or the trump plan where there is keynesian stimulus and incentives are capital to move to the u.s., the u.s. exchange rate is good to go up unless you have a supply-side miracle. they may believe that is going to happen but history tells us that the -- it will not happen to the extent is needed down their side. --needed on their side. manus: let's say they get some of the tax changes. what is the biggest offer in terms of dollar? it is the currencies we have on the screen. the ecb not doing much of anything, boj will not do much of anything, bank of england is going to be cautious.

i think the spreads, they will not go up one for one but they might go up if u.s. rates go up by 100 basis points, everyone else goes up by 20. that is a lot of dollar strength that would be built on that basis. anna: you brought the ecb into the conversation. we have a chart that shows the undervaluation of the euro. the undervaluation in the euro based on some early ecb data. what do you like -- look at to make this conclusion? this in relation to come as we got from navarro early on this week. n: the euro is cheap but there is a reason. you cannot make the argument that the euro should be at its ,roper valuation and then say the european economies are sluggish and the and the on a planet rates are high, you have the political and ongoing debt
2:25 am
concerns and parts of europe. there is a reason it is cheap. the question would be my ok, where do you think european interest rates should be because it is not just a question of how much coffee costs in new york versus paris. it is a question of capital flows -- what capital flows are emerging because of the policy structure. given the divergence in the economy i would say this is where the euro should be. manus: the ecb, this is the great debate, while the germans balk on the ecb and will their he edified? -- be a divide? steven: the ecb and mario draghi are determined to stay the course. he said we told you we would -- what we would do in 2017. we will examine it at the end based on conditions but this is what we see and what we are
2:26 am
going to do. i think the impact of the weak euro is easy to examine it -- to exaggerate the benefits. trade flows do not change that dramatically because your currency is week. you anticipate that something will be pat -- fashioned by the u.s. government either a border tax or something else that would comply with debbie chi overrules and will be able to stand and will push up the dollar, therefore? you can frame what is in the congressional plan was what is consistent with the wto. you are allowed to change the payroll taxes, you are allowed to change the payroll tax. everything that they say they're going to do is consistent with wto. you for joining us today. manus: that is it for daybreak.
