the pilot union calls it an act of financial aggression. let take a look at the price of oil. it is heading for a fifth week of decline. we are joined from hong kong by then. right to have you on the program. we have been talking about oil being in a bear market. my guess what is driving this. -- remind us what is driving this. it is almost a case of deja vu. it is a supply story. that supply is coming from various regions. and libya. libya has is appointed over the past few months. pumping atnt, it is the highest level in four years. that is causing concern for the market and opec. if you look back to may, it was nigeria and libya that were responsible for the biggest gains.
1:33 am
the market is caught firmly in this oversupply mode. it is driving the prices lower. everybody is asking themselves whether opec is going to do anything about this. where does oil go from here? ben: good question. opec has its challenges. from here, if prices remain low, you probably have to look towards compliance and whether those countries in on this deal will remain compliant to what they have agreed. the biggest cheat has been iraq. the country has not been compliant at this stage to what it has pledged. look for the edges fraying into that deal if prices remain this low. some are talking about west texas testing that $47 a barrel mark. $45 was seens ago,
1:34 am
at the barrier for the market. many did not think it would go much further. it is precarious and time sensitive for the market. the silver lining could be that at these low levels it might push the u.s. supply a little bit out of the market. at the moment, there are some things and it is going to find a base around here and perhaps move higher. time will tell on that. anna: some analysts point towards the u.s. industries -- industry's ability to cut cost and the industry to make profit. that is something opec is fighting against. ben: the u.s. has been a surprise to almost everyone. opec, the iea, analysts from goldman to city. it is an industry that is managed to adapt.
1:35 am
it has improved technology. it is managing to make money at these low prices. many have thought this year $55 was the range, but it has proved resilient. the energy information agency is talking about supply in the u.s. exceeding 10 million barrels a year in 2018. it is one of those industries that is applying a huge amount of pressure on the oil price. that is probably the biggest reason why prices, especially west texas, is heading close to that $40 a barrel mark. anna: thank you so much for joining us today. let's get back to michael sneyd. your thoughts on the oil market right now. i have this chart that type oil in with what we are seeing in with equity markets. a leadingnger indicator it seems for stocks. oil prices are falling, that is the blue line.
1:36 am
we have not really managed to make much headway back to $60. this is the way equity markets have carried on regardless. not quite the link there there was. it is interesting. the direction of the correlation i think is driven by whether or not it is the supply or demand dynamic driving the price. anna: this is a supply story. michael: exactly. you can see between 2002 to 2008 it was high demand driving at the higher oil price. is good for stocks. the relationship we have had since 2014 is the lord oil price has strike down -- is the lower oil price has strike down global inflation. the banks have been much more accommodative than they have been. whatever the oil price,
1:37 am
good for stocks. michael: depending on which way it goes. in terms of the united states, does a weakening oil price still have that stimulus effect on the u.s. economy that many talked about? 2014, that is what everybody was waiting for with the big drop in the oil price. willie boost the u.s. economy? -- will it boost the u.s. economy? maybe had ahave now change. it depends on which sectors and assets you look at. we have had a change from bowl oil -- low oil pricing for the u.s. to higher benefit to the u.s.. particularly to implement to be shale industry and wages. in terms of assets and things like u.s. high-yield credit, it tends to be dominated by energy.
1:38 am
--ower oil price tends to be to lead to wire -- to lead to wider credit spreads in the u.s.. you recently lowered your u.s. inflation forecast to 1.5%. , howl weakness persists much does that waiting to weakness inflation than the u.s.? how much does that way into weakness inflation in the u.s.? this is a lower against a fed that is wanting to raise rates. the fedwe read this is is looking at two main indicators. it is looking at inflation and the unemployment rate.
1:39 am
coming months, we think the fed's focus is going to be on the unemployment rate. that determines were inflation is going to be one to two years down the line. it is looking at forward expectations of and -- of inflation. anna: wages? michael: yes, looking at wages. where this is going to be important for asset markets is that when you have a period in if thetock inflation, current inflation rate is defining, the fed wants to tighten policy, that is a situation where real rates tend to go up. you get a tightening of liquidity conditions, which given the asset prices and stock markets have been supported by boost liquidity, it is a threat for these markets. anna: where does this leave the emerging markets? producers will not be watching this and consuming nations will
1:40 am
be likely a little better. this is year to date. there are many stories that peso has the mexican its own drivers right now. is the oil story key for emerging markets? michael: the key story is going to be what happens with the global liquidity. given you have had such strong performance and march markets, --with em and such strong positioning with em markets, that theme is going to dominate around opportunities around oil importers and exporters. , michaelhael sneyd strategist for bnp paribas stays with us. governor saysxico the central bank has taken steps for inflation to reach its 3% target.

speaking to bloomberg, he also says mexico's interest rate pause could withstand the u.s. federal reserve hiked. -- the last months have been good month. we had a rocky lira -- year last year. a lot of the correction taking place has been the result of policy actions we have taken in the monetary side, the foreign exchange side, the fiscal side. going through the dynamics that are consistent with inflation shock. therefore, we believe the actions we have taken with information we have up to now should be sufficient to take us to our 3% objective towards the
1:42 am
end of 2018. of course, this is conditional on the information we had today on expectation of what the fed will do. they are expressing confidence that will be have done is sufficient. if it will be sufficient, it is hard to say. reserveif the federal were to raise interest rates again this year as many expect and the fed has acknowledged, is it possible the interest rate mexicohat is forcing for -- that is foreseen for mexico

could persist even with that event? >> it is possible. on the context. the fed isay that going through a complex process. they have managed it really well. take -- they are doing something that is completely new. we believe that where we are now will lead us to the level at some point. we are ready to make that , up to today, we think it is sufficient. fed and yourf the institution, right now the volatility in the treasury

2:14 am
the weak link is the u.k.. brexit definitely creates risks for the u.k. that the rest of the world doesn't suffer from. prefer assets in europe. we will see pmi's today that will be strong. these ftse 250 countries -- companies -- >> you are saying everything is relative. the u.k. looks relatively uncertain so why bother? patrick: absolutely, why pay the same multiple and half the risk if i don't have to take that risk with year and -- with european assets. on gilts, you have inflation at 2.9%. brexit creates headwinds for the economy, so you can see the attraction of gilts, but it creates stagnation very forces as well as recessionary. dramaticallys potentially and that is very stagflationary.
2:15 am
brexit,o have a good those gilts -- the yield is way too low. think -- you are concerned about the outlook for the u.k. economy. expectations are the possibility of a rate hike. 330, at their highest since february. a rate hike could be coming in 2017, could be live for the bank of england in 2017. we saw three members voting last time. patrick: carney did his best to say this wouldn't happen, he remain a dove. i think you won't be seeing any hikes. you do have inflation right now, where is the fed -- there are periods of weakness, the ecb would do that. there are dogmatic members that

2:24 am
would lose half their value and unemployment would soar to 10% from the current 4.3%. for foreign banks operating in the u.s., those did better than their u.s. counterparts. all were not just above the 3% minimum, but above that by more than two percentage points. deutsche bank passed with the most flying colors, with a leverage ratio of 13.5%. june 28 this phase two. capital analysis review. bank investors will find out whether and how much more or less they can return in dividends as well as buybacks. bloomberg news, new york. anna: patrick armstrong, cio at plurimi wealth is still here. here thoughts on the banking sector. they are getting good at past in these stress tests as the conversation turns to whether this be so stressed. moreck: next time is
2:25 am
important for discussing buyback plans and that is what investors will be looking for. versussets are cheap historic norms, but expensive versus europe. we don't have a position in u.s. banks. they are fairly valued and probably have a short-term tailwind. anna: you don't feel like buying them with a view to reform? patrick: you could make the case, i am just overall short united states equities, and that is based on the market underestimating the fed. futures pricing in nothing. anna: and you don't price in nothing. you think the fed would move and more than they should? patrick: they've got another one this year, for sure and four next year. the only missing ingredient is inflation that is not there. but the fed focuses on
2:26 am
unemployment and probably rightfully so. they focus more on the he shouldn't have recession at interest-rate levels. anna: it is not a mistake? patrick: i don't think so. the u.s. economy is moving towards something more stable above 2%. wage growth on atlanta fed numbers right now. that are rosier than interest rates. we have become used to zero rate interest policies. it is not normal. anna: does it have to be bad for stocks if the fed is hiking for the right reasons? patrick: it is because the mom -- mothballs are too high -- multiples are too high. 20 -- trading 20 times earnings, that can be justified if we get into a normal interest rate environment. anna: patrick, thank you for your time. patrick armstrong, cio at plurimi wealth.
