seen, but for now it appears it's a long expected plan to overhaul the bank top to bottom. anna: thank you very much, matt scully with that update. fed. return to the manus: janet yellen is pressing ahead with plans to normalize monetary policy and raise rate. she news coverage yesterday played down softening price pressures and showed confidence that the fed could hit its 2% inflation target. data maping inflation move the markets, but it didn't move the fed. policymakers raise their benchmark interest rate once again and say they remain on a path to have another rate manyase this year and as
1:11 am

1:13 am
unusual things going on in the global economy and the u.s. economy which is dragging inflation down. a couple of key things in the p intion data, core cpi august of last year and is down to 0.6. so there's nothing to see here for the moment. bloomberg intelligence, we talked about the balance sheet. they given some caps in terms of what they're doing but i love going to be like watching paint dry. what did you interpret in terms of the cap's? >> it's quite ambitious, they want to wrap it up by a further $10 billion to get to a point where in theory they will be
1:14 am
allowing $50 billion a month to roll law, if it is rolling off in that month because the actual schedule of three investments is in the balance sheets. pre-committing to that is quite ambitious. are fully cap's filled, that gives $1 trillion off the balance sheet by 2019. it's fairly aggressive. where is the target for the balance sheet? phrase, we wonderful don't really know, but we are going to learn. it will be lower than it is now. started, it will be nice to see a staging point. the main power of qe3 was its unlimited nature.
1:15 am
if you don't tell us where you going to stop, the part of the market that might worry is still waiting for details. anna: what about the start time? do we know that yet? we're were looking for an announcement in september on the wind down. some people now say we get the start time for the wind down in september and then we get the next rate move in december. david: that's where i am right now. manus: he's off like a racehorse. this is obviously pointing to the fact that maybe you should focus your tightening on the middle and long end of some of thed allows dollars to roll law there instead of hiking the short rate.
1:16 am
there was another line in mayerday's story that she go for a bit of a path in september. it looks like it will be balance sheet reduction and rate hikes in syncopation. has the market got the ability to do that? david: the market is not priced for it. i'm very skeptical. the difference in getting policy away from being extraordinary low and continuing to hike it three times a year while the global context remains the same. by the end of next year, the ecb will still be at -40. it will be very hard for them to go at that pace and i'm not sure the economy is going to warrant it.
1:17 am
i think it remains quite aggressive. remember they took down the inflation forecast for this year for the next couple of years. they still by that inflation will be at the target but i'm not quite sure. anna: we have at least three more questions to ask you. david stubbs will stay with us. a busy day ahead. manus: rate decision from the swiss national bank at 8:30 u.k. time. tonight u.k. chancellor philip hammond and mark carney mansionak at the annual house dinner. that will be very interesting. find outmage control, how the u.k. chancellor is looking to refocus brexit on the
1:21 am
anna: welcome back. 1:21 in the afternoon in hong kong. the hang seng down by more than 1%. move lower in the oil price yesterday. talk about what's going on in the u.k.. manus: philip hammond will make the case for a new path for >> it that focuses on protecting jobs and economic growth. his first appearance since the election. use his annual mansion house address this evening to the city of london to push for so-called pragmatic brexit. reflects theresa may's
1:22 am
failure to make immigration control the priority in leaving the eu. fascinating, how strong the language will be will be one thing we will be looking for. how convincing he will hold sway and have the upper hand. i think he has more sway right now after the election because of the weakness of the government in general. machinations the of the -- the key word is pragmatism. that's what markets and investors want. step away from the harder line issues on both sides and try to find a way forward that doesn't disrupt supply chains and investment. manus: we saw nicola sturgeon yesterday politicking.
1:23 am
and hisut participation call for greater cross party unity. went through my mind was this, the eu are so united or would appear to be, no sidebars, no side deals. ofbe there is merit in terms reestablishing some kind of strength from bargaining. david: it would be nice if you had a position that was well supported. think there are people who are putting the cart before the horse. , were we discuss the future don't discuss the trade deal before we discuss the phase one exit modalities. it includes the u.k. national and also the brexit bill. brexit bill is where the eu is most united.
1:24 am
those are the figures, anything more than a billion or two -- somehow we are told the issue is going to go away later after the general election and i still don't see how. to a certain extent you can have consensus on the final point of the -- final resting place of the issue. somehow both sides have to get past this incredibly difficult issue. we will not still be talking about this issue next year. you think so much of the time could be eaten into by talking about that bill. david: i'm worried that it will leave zero time to discuss it. do mark carney and company go?
1:25 am
nowhere, seems to be the consensus. they don't really have anywhere they can go. they're very cap doubt, interest rates, rock-bottom. the hard data of a recession to bring any further stimulus back onto the table. they will look over downing street and say they will -- that done senate -- something about it was a budget. one is talking about a hike because you have the consumers under pressure from the ratings being squeezed. savings rate at an all-time low. somewhat.h has slowed on top of that you have a hit in the business confidence we saw from the elections.
1:26 am
england isbank of perhaps in the worst of all carney we knowse has intimated he's not a fan of negative rates. reengage qe?ly what does it do to the gilt story? it will don't think react badly to bore fiscal spending in the short term because the u.k. is credible and does borrow as a safe haven asset. in the event of a recession you'd see lower gilt yields because of weaker growth and inflation. u.k. does have the fiscal space to respond to that. that's the opposite of the plan for the government, which was planning the greatest fiscal consolidation over the next couple of years.
1:27 am

1:36 am
>> clearly it's not something we will change overnight. it's the first thing you want to attack with the congress. the legislature will end on sunday. everything indicates he will have a very large majority and there's nothing that will stop him. so the key question is how much -- even when he was minister of economy, it was the top of his agenda. i believe he will move very fast on this. yes, we still have to explain to people because there is a kind of skepticism. will france be able to reform labor laws? expecting to see
1:37 am

1:42 am
1:45 am
anna: welcome back to "bloomberg daybreak: europe." you're looking at a live shot from new york, 1:45 in the morning. the s&p down .2%. interesting to follow the story developing by a special counts investigating interference in therussian interference in u.s. election. all of this has the markets a little bit edgy. that's get the bloomberg business flash with juliette saly. deutsche bank has outlined a new structure for corporate and investment banking division.
1:46 am
a copy of an email seen by bloomberg will create a separate business for equities and leverage capital market operations. the german lender unveils details on division of responsibility between the cohead for the new investment banking and trading unit. buyr his to sign a deal to as many as six jets from the u.s.. the pentagon said that current the $12nt completed billion agreement in washington yesterday. the move comes as the two countries navigate tensions over president trump backing for a saudi led coalition moved to isolate the country for supporting terrorism. asking a court in california for an order blocking the sale of a chip unit of toshiba in a joint venture. the u.s. country is tying -- fromg to stop toshiba
1:47 am
sharing joint ventures a have in preparation for a sale. aspokesman would not comment it has not yet received the complaint. corporate chat room black technologies has received recent inquiries about a potential takeover from technology companies including amazon. the deal could give the san francisco-based startup evaluation at least $9 billion. discussions may not go further. that's the bloomberg business flash. it's a day after the federal reserve raised rates. economists expect no adjustments in the interest rates are the key policy announcement. anna: that means a deposit rate of -.75 and a pledge to intervene if needed. matt miller joins us now. what are we expecting today?
1:48 am
a focus on the currency is crucial in this conversation. matt: the currency is very important. considering the fiasco that a lot of currency traders got into in january 2015. with an unexpected move. the swiss franc has gained so much strength on that day, and has since held at a fairly steady level of euro costing about $1.09, less than a frank in the month of 2015. but is still very strong. the swiss national bank says significantly overvalued and they stand ready to intervene in the currency market. bloomberg data shows they do regularly intervene in currency markets, just not to the level they did when there was a cap. negative rates continue to be fairly extreme.
1:49 am
credit suisse expects the negative rates to hold through 2018, but we will watch for a change in language. about one third of the economy as we surveyed said there could be a change in language. not a majority of the economists, but some said we could see that, so we will pay close attention at 9:30 swiss time when the statement comes out. obviously all three main central banks have dynamic differences on how they communicate. they won't necessarily send the clearest of messages. it's a little bit of doublespeak. matt: they tend to hit it more with a hammer than us capitol here at the snb -- than a scalpel. the importance of banks plays a
1:50 am
much bigger role in the swiss economy than it does in the u.s. or the european economy. they watch closely to see bank profitability and how to affected by rates and how it pushes banks to either go out and take more risk or less risk. right now they are looking at a situation they consider to be improving both domestically and internationally as far as the banks are concerned. that could be a good sign for the snb. much, matt you very miller standing ready in burn. -- in berne. the greek debt trauma returns to the spotlight today. the meeting in luxembourg is hoping to meet a deal on how to ease the countries debt burden. forth,onths of back and how likely are we to get a deal
1:51 am
today? >> we will get some kind of deal today. we have two issues on the table. one is the disbursement of the latest crotch in the greek bailout program. after some additional austerity measures the greeks have passed recently, that looks like it was set to get done and that will be going through. greece could make some additional commitment in terms of debt relief in the future, and this is more iffy. germany is pushing against it, the imf is demanding it. we will have to see what happens in luxembourg to see what kind of compromise they are able to come up with. debt relief, at what with the details need to include in order to get the imf on board? imf has been very strong that it will participate in the
1:52 am
program unless there is substantial debt relief. is going into elections in just a few months so they are resisting any kind of effort along these lines, any additional effort along these lines. they will have to come up with some kind of compromise. it will probably be along the lines up longer maturities and lower interest rates but these are things that are bones of contention at this point. this week, france has come up with a proposal to have the measures linked to germany's economy and how that progresses. this is another idea that will go into the mix and were likely to see some language along those lines in the agreement that we get today. anus: it's us -- it is sustainability question. , our bring david stubbs guest host, back into the conversation.
1:53 am
today -- tamara you have the bank of japan. we started talking about carney saying he must be one of the most harried central bankers out there. , andk at the swiss franc it still below, but to a certain extent, finally the world wants to own a few euros in not so many swiss francs. david: i'm very pleased about the progress he's making and getting past some political worries and embracing that. it's the first few steps on a this rate get out of and the huge balance sheet thanks to all the intervention they do in their currency. we are still a long way from the of the monetary policy landscape changing.
1:54 am
story, if's a 2019 you ask me. there are some whispers out of tokyo we might get some changes to the balance sheet at the meeting this week. progress is one thing, getting to a point where the swiss franc is not overvalued and they can take out the policy rate, we are still years away from that. at the same time, the central banks are unable to move the stimulus that quickly. anna: you try to come up with some sequence of events that gets us to the end of this, and it's difficult to do so without including some kind of debt relief because of what the ecb has said. when will we see some kind of debt relief for greece?
1:55 am
we will get a holding pattern today. say wille imf will come on board when there is debt relief in the future. the ecb will link and say we will allow it to be part of qe because even under present conditions, you're just about sustainable and there some kind of compromise their. the worst of all worlds would be a were -- another political blow up and the greeks backtrack on some of their reforms. i don't think anyone wants to go there. asian text and bank of america merrill lynch survey the other day, fund managers surveyed overvalued
1:56 am
stock markets and the most crowded trade saying internet 18%ks are expensive and calling it bubblelike. ,it's not just in america it's also very tech heavy. it's a tough thing about investing in a bull market. seemingly overvalued positions can persist for years in the market makes new highs. it's not clear that you have another way to tap into the robust global growth we are seeing. anna: david, thank you for your time this morning. david stubbs, global market strategist at j.p. morgan asset

nervousness to the benefit of european exposures. anna: is that concern about what trump can deliver in washington? ursula: it is a combination. perception of political risk is helping. the momentum you see in the economy, earnings on a solid path are t inch mark levels. the flows that will continue for technical reasons, in addition to that you have the benign economic picture that we have seen which we do not believe will be derailed in the short term. i would classify it as short-term. anna: thank you. our guest is staying with us on the program. 7:16 a.m. in london. manus: the exchequer will make his case. we will bring you the latest.
