anna: a very warm welcome to "bloomberg daybreak: europe," our flagship morning show in the city of london. i'm anna edwards. manus: and i'm manus cranny. so you go away for a weekend ball euphoria -- donald trump didn't get his health care through the squabbling. the impact on markets is immediate. this is the dollar. the rise of the dollar on the accession of trump into the white house and his promised policies, and there, down, down, down. you seem the dollar touch a four-month low. the 200-day moving average could be breached. thisof america merrill say is still one of the most crowded trades out there even though 32% of their survey say the dollar is overvalued. buoydata isn't going to the dollar. manus: anna: interesting to see

just how far the dollar has retreated, almost erasing the gains it has made. putting up the risk radar takes is a bit further into that dollar story. we've got dollar-yen in there for you. it is 110.40. will it go below 110? does that trigger some stop orders? we will keep an eye on how that trades. s&p futures, looks as if we need another day to factor in that , orat for the republicans disunity among the republicans on capitol hill. volatility does seem to be increasing. this perhaps a silver lining. the vix, that measure of volatility, staging its biggest weekly increase year-to-date, the highest level since december. manus: there's your australian close, 57 45. that is really a mirror image,

s&p futures down last week. we're going to go to kuwait. nymex crude is down. the rig count keeps going up. hence ringing that big discussion. can opec and non-opec go for another six months? interesting to see some of the minors under pressure in australia on the back of those more general move lower. and gold stocks on the rise in australia because there's more output of gold. let's get the bloomberg first word news. in germany, angela merkel's election victory has delivered a reality check in this year's contest for the chancellery. energized by the candidacy of martin schultz, the spd headed into the ballot with a paul vance. merkel's cdu posted its biggest win in the state in 13 years,

prosecutors are seeking a warrant for the arrest of ousted president park. she was questioned last week about the undue influence scandal that forced her from office. she's accused of pressuring businesses to donate millions of dollars to a confidant in return for government favors. the scandal has embroiled some big names including the de facto samsung heir apparent. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. you can find more stories on the bloomberg at top . i'm debra mao. manus: thanks very much for the roundup. let's get into these markets. juliette saly is standing by. we checked on the aussie market. i suppose the question for everybody in the market is, will the grand old party event and focus on tax now since i couldn't get health care? that was the plank of their plan, wasn't it? juliette: it was.

we saw that shockwave coming through in u.s. markets on friday. the s&p 500 futures tracking lower. we have taken that lead and gone with it in asia. you've got dollar weakness, which means yen strength. the nikkei had a bad day. australia closing down about 0.2%. volatility is definitely back in these markets. the index of volatility in japan at the highest reading we've seen in two months. certainly i guess a little bit of investor unease weighing into the asian markets. looking at some of the stocks, sinopec china coming through. we certainly saw hong kong stocks coming through. it said it forecast net income of 150% year on year. focus, southern also in confirming it is in talks about selling a potential stake to american air. kaiser group is a real estate

listed company in hong kong. it has been suspended from trade for two years. it finally came through with results over the weekend, sending its share price up almost 64%. shares dropped about 50% in march 2015 when it last traded. talking about the yen, this is one to watch. analysts are saying 110 is the key resistance for dollar bears that are loving the yen. they are seeking resistance at 108.25. in terms ofto watch this gauge of volatility across asian markets. anna: thank you very much. juliette saly with the markets in hong kong. the dollar has slumped to a four-month low and u.s. equities are extending on it increased skepticism of president donald trump's ability to implement his agenda after last week's failed u.s. health care deal. manus: former atlanta fed

president -- told bloomberg's yvonne man that the rate is on track. >> i don't think the fed is behind the curve. thatnk the satisfaction the numbers are still a little below 2%, but moving in the right direction, that is the key at the moment. london,ining us now in head of fx strategy, jeremy stretch. give us your thoughts. give us your thoughts on where the dollar heads from here. dollar weakness is a result of the defeat for the republicans in the vote that never happened in the u.s. how much read across is there from what happened on friday into other areas of policy? that is what i suppose markets want to know. jeremy: indeed. last week was essentially a litmus test of the ability of the trump administration to push its legislative agenda. that first test has been failed. what does that apply for the

rest of the agenda? also you have to remember the health care process was an aim to reduce budgetary spending to create room for additional stimulus elsewhere. there are two obvious headwinds in the ability to push through legislation and the cost implications. both of those aren't particularly persuasive in terms of arguing that dollar strength story or the trump reflation trade, which has been underlining and dominating markets. the fed shifting gears dramatically to get us ready for the last hike. we heard from dennis lockhart. he would have adjusted his outlook to three moves. do you think this moment of uncertainty around politics and policy perhaps slows the rhetoric down from the fed? selloff is nowe done in the dollar? have seen aink we substantive correction and i think the fed is going to be

integral here. we maybe almost in a vacuum type scenario. the data has been remarkably consistent. you can argue about the growth story in q1. there's headwinds which generally resolve themselves overtime. when you look at the labor market, we start to see some wage increases, i think that be asuggest the fed could little more vociferous in saying, we are close enough to our target to continue to push towards some degree of coordinated moves, and it may be the case the market is forced to bring that hike back to june and that is the one catalyst which could imply this dollar correction has largely run its course in the short-term. anna: to bring forward the hike from the fed, does that require any further signs of trump can get his stimulus policies through capitol hill, or can

that happen just on the basis of the data we know about? jeremy: i think that can happen on the basis of the data. i don't think we need to expect politics to be a key or integral part. i think we are back to monitoring the data. central banks should be data-dependent. if we are going to see the labor remaining solid, some signs of earnings growth coming through, inflationary pressure, trains remaining supportive in terms of being back on target, then i think you can argue that , currently in the third longest economic expansion in history as far as the u.s. is concerned, and at this point in the cycle, a moderate ramping up is appropriate. not necessarily saying we need more hikes, but getting a little ahead of the curve and saying the fed have done their work and then we can focus more on capitol hill later in the year. manus: there was a note from the director of oxford economics. it said, and overload of

expectations and rich valuations amid global reflation mean that the dollar won't benefit much from positive surprises. the faded move on the dollar is done, but this would suggest that even if you get good data, it is going to be hard for the dollar to reassert itself. jeremy: what i would consider is i think we need to split it into two parts. we've seen substantive dollar correction. i think there is scope for a small rebound in that. i think that is the way we characterize it. if we go back to november and say, if trump hadn't happened and we hadn't seen the reflation building through the course of last year, this year, then i think the dollar correction would have happened much earlier. we are in a very mature phase. we're almost six years into a dollar bull phase. that traditionally is getting to a pretty much or process.

we are seeing one final leg of that. liftnk we will see one then we are back in two a correction phase and the dollar will cheapen and we will see other currencies reassert themselves. anna: so we need to take a longer-term perspective. jeremy: it is very easy to be myopic, to worry about today and tomorrow. if we can take a step back and look at longer trends, then i think as we go through this year and next year, we will see a cheaper dollar. anna: jeremy, thank you very much. jeremy stretch stays with us here on the program. we have a host of exclusive interviews this week. today it is charles evans. on wednesday, we speak to erin rosengren. on friday, jim bowler. manus: up next, cuts, compliance. opec leaders find consensus on extending the oil output cut. we are live to kuwait with the latest.

this is bloomberg. ♪

anna: welcome back. "bloomberg daybreak: europe," 1:17 in the afternoon if you are in hong kong. they didn't change their clocks, but we did here in europe, which has moved that buffer between the two of us. you are busyhat if in the asian region or in europe. here are some highlights. the bank of england publishes the scenario for the bank stress tests. even i on that. the u.k. parliament get an update on coalition talks. set toesday, the u.k. is officially trigger brexit. anna: we get a rate decision from mexico and on friday the spanish government is due to announce its budget. manus: let's get a business flash now. deborah mao is standing by. debra: thanks, manus.

zurich insurance is reportedly taking steps that could lead to a capital increase of as much as 8 billion euros. according to an italian newspaper, switzerland's largest insurer could consider issuing new shares that would not exceed 20% of its current capitalization. the investor relationship says there are no plans to seek capital. suspended itself driving car program after one of its vehicles was involved in a high impact crash in arizona. police say the other vehicle fared to yield and the company is not responsible for the accident. no one was hurt in the crash. uebr says it is pausing autonomous tests in verizon and pittsburgh until it completes an investigation. that is your bloomberg business flash. anna: thank you very much. and independent oil producers are to consider extending curbs on output, saying more time is needed to

drain the global oil glut. secretary-general sees a high level of compliance with the cuts. >> i think we are all moving in the same direction from the discussions that have been taking place since yesterday, that we need to build on the momentum that has been gathered in the last two months. from all indications, we expect to see very high levels of conformity in the subsequent months. decision onform the the duration of this decision. manus: the secretary-general of opec. joining us now is yousef gamal el-din. he is in kuwait. great work this weekend, chasing everybody. what we really want to know is the extension of the cuts. could they be extended? yousef: they discussed the

possibility. this was never going to be a meeting about extending the cuts. this was a meeting about compliance. they are impressed with the levels of compliance. they are calling it conformity. what they are looking at is 106% from february, so going beyond the call of duty. for non-opec, which includes russia, still 64%. they think that is going to come up very quickly. they did cite some of the challenges. they are not immune to the reality of global energy markets. demand,ot low seasonal refinery maintenance, and rising non-opec supply clouding the outlook and efforts of opec. they've called for recommendations in terms of what to do going forward. opec members have been vocal. they have said, we need to extend this agreement. we heard from the algerian energy minister.

he said this needs to go on for three to four months more. what we haven't heard is any flexibility in terms of perhaps taking more oil out of this market to adjust the market conditions. you are freezing in the quota even though you have an evolving market. there is a lot of oil out there and the latest figures in terms of the rigs really underscore that once again. anna: we will get to that in a moment with our guest in studio. you are there with opec and non-opec members. what has russia been saying about any possibility of an extension of cuts? yousef: the russian energy minister, i spoke to him in a very candid chat on the sidelines of this event, and he made it clear that he was very up eight about the numbers and where all this is going. said, don't read too much into the inventory data. he stands by his initial

promise, that, wait until we see the data before we make a call on that. there was a lot of skepticism around russia. they haven't had a track record of living up to their promises. they are saying they are abiding by it. they got a green light from opec. here's what he had to say. >> at the moment, in russia, among our corporates, we seeing that all companies are conforming with the obligations which they bestowed upon themselves. it looks like all the countries want to show commitment and they don't want to stand out among the full group which is conforming. yousef: alexander novak there. back to you. manus: thank you very much. great reporting. yousef gamal el-din, our bloomberg markets: middle east editor. jeremy stretch are here with us. rick counts are going up. the russians are a little bit more skeptical about what they

are basing -- their base price is down to $40 for oil the rest of the year. there is a consensus and it is moving lower on oil. jeremy: there are obvious headwinds. the rising non-opec supply, which was just highlighted in the weekend meetings in kuwait, is an obvious concern. counts, as we watch those continue to move higher, does suggest there is more supply coming back onto the market. without a substantive uptick in demand, we already have a large inventory overhang which we are not working through. that implies the topside risks her contained. it seems likely the softening could head further. i don't think we're going to see capitulation, but i think prices will remain subdued. i think that is the new world order, continuing to see prices sagging until we see better global demand data. that is still a very long-lasting process.

particularly when we have this non-opec supply offsetting demand. anna: how much of this is a driver for your universe of fx? function,f the wcrs it doesn't suggest that commodities is writ large across this. jeremy: that is true. the commodities story was much more relevant in terms of the way markets were reacting. if you look at the relations of some of those commodity oriented currencies, those correlations were substantially higher a year ago compared to now. why the difference? we've seen the impact on the industry playing out over the previous 12 months. we've seen the employment reductions. we've seen business investment cut dramatically. newindustry has cut to a lower paradigm, or has become more accustomed to that. i think the commodity story is

not the most important driver. we're in a world where until volatility has started to pick up again, investors are looking for higher returns outside of traditional markets. there has been some influence with carryback. manus: we just had a look at this. this is the correlation between the ruble and oil. the russians are expecting $40 by the end of 2017. out of the commodity-based currencies, it is the fed rather than oil that perhaps drives 2017. jeremy: i think it probably is. we do see it sagging. we do have this myopia about where we go on a daily basis. but we're not going to see wti sub 40 for example. that sort of scenario suggests correlations will be limited and it is going to be the bigger picture about what is happening in the u.s., the reflation trade. anna: we will watch emerging

markets. jeremy, thank you very much. jeremy stretch stays with us. we talk about angela merkel and her election boost in germany. ♪
