4:01 am
european future. we will look back at that result and what has changed as the negotiations finally get underway. we'll speak to a member of the house of lords who thinks that brexit want happen. -- won't happen. we will also have the director of europol. this is what we're getting. a little bit of news in the form of pmi. this is what they're coming out with. falling to 54.7. below forecast. we were expecting a figure of 56.8. it's coming in at 57.3. that is for manufacturing. if you look at the services june pmi, falling by three percentage points. seeon to the data to
4:02 am
whether we are seeing any impact from that weaker than expected pmi. overall, global equities mixed after we did have some fed speakers saying they will do little to alter projections for the path of interest rates. oil fluctuating. below $43 a barrel. out for isould look pound as we try to assess what the brexit vote, the one-year anniversary, means for the brexit vote and e.u. nationals living in the u.k. let's get to first word news. sebastian: the european central bank has made a play for power. a key issue in brexit talks between the e.u. and the u.k. the central bank wants to change its legal statute to be given a clear legal competence -- 3/4 of trading in euro denominated interest swaps takes place in britain. in the u.s., center republican
4:03 am
leaders have issued a health care proposal. the plan was immediately opposed by a group of four conservative senators, rand paul, ted cruz, ron johnson and mike lee. it could threaten a position -- passage of the bill. president trump: obamacare is totally dead. we're putting in a plan today that is going to be negotiated. some democratave support. but they are obstructionist. we won't get one matter how good it is. sebastian: president trump has named rudy johnson as ambassador to the u.k. firm.he ceo o centralrnor of mexico's bank says it is taken the right steps for inflation to reach its 3% target.
4:04 am
speaking as closely to bloomberg after raising borrowing costs for the seventh time in a row. >> the last months have been good months. we had a rocky year last year. i think that a lot of the correction that has taken place has been the result of policy actions we have taken in the monetary side, on the fiscal side. throughy, we're going dynamics that is consistent with a one-off weak inflation shock. global news 24 hours a day powered by 2700 journalists in 120 countries. this is bloomberg. francine: now, the prime minister theresa may told e.u. leaders that almost all 3 million e.u. citizens in the u.k. will continue to live there after brexit. theproposal was met with
4:05 am
tepid reception from leaders who stressed that many issues remain unresolved. the state ofabout the negotiations on the u.k.'s departure. the first talks have taken place and theresa may clearly said that e.u. citizens to have been in the u.k. for five years will retain full rights. this is a good start, but there are still many questions. francine: bloomberg's matt miller joins us from brussels. covering this e.u. summit. first of all, what do we know that is on offer and good morning? matt: good morning to you. we do know that any e.u. citizens would have been living riti loo at the samea rights in regardsin to health care or in regards to pension. if you have lived there for less than five years and you are an e.u. 27 citizen, you will be able to stay and clock up that
4:06 am
time until five years is over and then apply for those same settlement rights. thereafter, a certain cutoff date, and that is not yet clear, sometime between march 2017 and march 2019, you will be given a two-year grace period after brexit, and then you will be allowed to apply for some sort of legal resident status, but those are the broad strokes or the details we know so far. and the concerns revolve around which rights you will have. u.k. citizen rights or e.u. citizen rights because there are some stark differences there. francine: what remains unresolved? we don't know the start date, the cutoff date. when do we find out? matt: that is the key issue. key sort of the logistical issue. what day is the cutoff day. on mondaynd that out
4:07 am
when theresa may gives those details to u.k. politicians. but, also, will be european court of justice be able to rule over issues that e.u. 27 citizens have in the u.k.? that is going to be a problem because certainly theresa may does not want that to be the case or she wants them to fall under u.k. courts jurisdiction. citizenple, an e.u. would be able to bring and a spouse or family member from outside of the e.u. with no problems. in the u.k., there are tighter restrictions concern amendment -- minimum income requirements. so these are some of the discrepancies between the rights of the u.k. citizen and an e.u. citizen that need to be resolved. francine: matt miller will be live throughout the day. for joining me now is jeremy stretch. brexit you have been coveringbrexit. -- you have been covering brexit
4:08 am
. what do we know about how negotiations are going? and, still a year on, actually, we seem to be less clued up. >> i think there are certainly realization inof that context because, of course, here we are we have had a lot of political's trees from the e.u. -- political posturing. the primet stance by minister the back end of last year. yet, of course, the election has thrown a lot of that into a great deal of doubt. there is a question as to what u.k. is isof the this juncture. we have literally just started negotiations 12 months from the vote. that ticking timeclock under the article 50. the abilityess of
4:09 am
to facilitate negotiations which will provide any opportunity for favorable trade relationships are being pushed into the middle distance. that causes a great deal of uncertainty in the market. francine: wanted to find out on cable or euro- pound? >> two obvious issues. in the sense of the go back to when the election was caused in april, sterling was rallying on the presumption that perhaps the harder line elements of the conservative party were expected to be put in a little bit of a degree of check. now in view of the uncertainties on the political spectrum, that is not the case. we will have to see how the u.k. stance is going to lay out and the trade relationships may be placed beyond 2019. we have seen the chancellor over the past two days about the need for a transition, avoiding the cliff edge. if there were to be a cliff edge, that would be detrimental
4:10 am
for u.k. expectations. francine: do you look at euro-pound more than cable? >> that is probably the best way because the dollar leg of the equation has its own uncertainty in relation to the fed. euro-sterling is the way to look at the euro dynamics. we have seen that in the uptick on the right-hand side of the chart. are we done? no, i don't think we are. the 90 pence target is an obvious one from a strategic perspective in the near term. we could be there by the end of the summer. francine: is this boe driven more than negotiations with brussels? >> i do not think the bank of england should be integral to that unless you think that the bank of england is in play. francine: now on the u.s. senate republican leaders have issued their health care proposal aimed to win support from moderate and conservative
4:11 am
wings of the party and was opposed by four gop senators that puts the bill's passage in jeopardy. at the white house, president trump says he does not have recordings of his conversation with jim comey. on may 9, president trump suggested the existence of recordings. in other news, 34 of the largest banks operating in the u.s. have cleared federal reserve stress tests of the ability withstand economic shocks. we heard from jerome powell saying that this year's results show that even during a severe recession our large banks would remain well-capitalized. five ofook at four to these things, what will move the dollar more? is it the fact that president trump could be distracted by a lot of these investigations and not do text form or is it fed related? >> there has been a lot of disappointment thus far because of the lack of pushing forward in terms of the fiscal backdrop.
4:12 am
that has been a cause of concern. the facts of the banks pass the stress tests, perhaps that adds to the momentum in terms of bank deregulation. ultimately, of course, comes back to the fed and the fed dynamics, which are related to the growth trajectory. everything is inextricably interlinked with the ramifications of the white house and implications on growth. all those factors are melted in together. francine: went of the markets start believing what the fed is telling them, that they will hike three times? do you think that's never going to happen? >> i think they are waiting for hard data. all central banks should always argued that they act in relation to the data. in a sense, we probably need to see some degree of residual support from the data. i guess the most important dynamic for not just the federal reserve but a number of central banks is the fact we have seen labor markets strengthening, and unemployment rates coming down. we have not seen an increase in
4:13 am
wages. the traditional relationship between the phillips curve which yellen still believes holds true, we need to see evidence of that. if we saw evidence into the second half of the year, i think markets will start to believe what the fed have been telling us. francine: what is your target for dollar? jeremy: in the context of euro like at higherld because we think the compelling fundamental story is rather more dynamic in europe than in the u.s. even with the fed hiking, it is still the case that the dollar is not going to get the trajectory it would assume, because we are seeing other central banks moving towards -- number of other currencies rather than necessarily being the dollar. francine: if you d look at the central bank's balance sheet, we goinglot, are to be a lot wiser about when the balance sheets will be redressed? the question is
4:14 am
do you seriously think the fed is going to unwind the balance sheet quickly or is it going to be a slow and progressive process? that is not just a fed story. when we discuss central banks, it is going to be a case of it is not going to be reinvesting maturing bonds. that is going to be the way to gradually erod the balance sheet. yellen does not want to see the balance sheet reduction being seen as monetary -- the presumption of very slow and progressive process. fed holdingsn of are sub five years. you've already reduced the balance sheet steadily. francine: thank you very much. he stays with us. let's get straight to the bloomberg business flash. hasstian: allied irish bank risen as it returns to the market after the state bailout. the government raced 3 billion euros over a 27% stake in the
4:15 am
lender. 679 shares -- valuing ireland's second-biggest lender at 12 billion euros. britain's first new nuclear plant in a generation may cost consumers 30 billion pounds and higher electricity costs. five times more than ministers expected. they urge the government to come up with a plan b for electricity in case of a collapse of the hinckley c project. that is the bloomberg business flash. francine: thank you so much. the bank of mexico -- he says the peso has room to appreciate after the central bank raised borrowing costs for a seventh time. carsten spoke exclusively to bloomberg. >> i would say it is not unreasonable. comment should not be taken as a central bankers forecast or a central
4:16 am
bank is objective. be reasonable if you take into account the strength of the mexican economy. if you take into account, the policies we have undertaken. also, the reasons that generated the depreciation that was not sustainable. in yes, i mean, think it is the realm of the feasible. francine: jeremy stretch still with us. look at the peso. let me bring you to my chart. this has a like to do with the trump administration. arstench does mr. c have control over his currency? you are absolutely right. that is reflective of the uncertainty in the market and the relationship to trump. that is still an issue to wait to see how that renegotiation process will play out.
4:17 am
we have seen a very impressive timing cycle. the bank of mexico is close if not and of the cycle. clearly, they want to rein in the inflationary pressures of that one-off adjustment in the currency. it is going to be the case with issuing political risk in mexico and also an ending of the tightening cycle that maybe it will be tough to see it moving from these levels. i think it will oscillate at the 18 threshold in the near-term. francine: what is your call on emerging markets overall? this is partly in inflation story linked to oil. jeremy: in the context of the e.m space, what we argue is that in a global economy, there is an opportunity for some of those currencies to do well. the question is, you need to differentiate between those who still have structural issues and those that are looking inflatable. those that have political uncertainties are in specifichip to
4:18 am
commodities, those of be the underperformers. you just need to differentiate in that context. francine: what is your favorite currency? is currencies are good bet on emerging markets? may be that push through's the reforms needed? jeremy: you want to look at those that have got reforms on the agenda or those that are structurally trying to push forward. i think there are opportunities in the space. i think it's going to be a case of differentiating in terms of that context. historically, we like india, for example, where there is plenty of room fo structural reformsr. those are t sort of metrics we will be lookingh at. francine: up next, as the brexit debate heats up, the ec makes a play for power overb euro clearing. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:22 am
francine: you are watching bloomberg "surveillance." the european central bank has made a play for power over the clear -- the clearing of euro denominated bonds. the central bank seeks to change its legal statue to be legal confidence over clearing. that is what it said today. let's talk about the ecb. jeremy, first of all, on euro clearing, is this power struggles?
4:23 am
. individual countries want the power to regulate themselves the ecb is saying we should be in charge. jeremy: that will be one of the issues will continue to see on an ongoing basis. in the relationship between the city of london and the euro zone is going to be an integral part of the negotiation process, but other different nations among the 27 have different sensibilities. what make sense if you are going haveve euro clearing to the ecb as a regulator and the way that they have done in terms of the banking sector. in that context, the concentration of power may cause some consternation in some other european capitals. francine: do we have any idea of how it goes or because it is political and we are in the midst of political -- brexit negotiations, it could go either way? jeremy: that will be one of the issues. we do not quite know how the negotiation process is going to proceed in how much flexibility there may be on either side because, of course, negotiations start from positions being entrenched and one would hope
4:24 am
there would be some degree of pragmatism over time but i suspect that pragmatism will take a considerable time to come to the fore. those positions could become entrenched it we see those headlines that proved to be damaging or at least highly volatile in terms of the ould causeips that w in terms of markets for euro and sterling. francine: when you look at the eurozone, we had weaker than expected pmi. is it linked to brexit or currency? the trend is on the way up, but unemployed is still stubbornly high. jeremy: in the context of the pmi, you have to put them in some degree of context in terms of the rapid appreciation in the manufacturing sector. we were due for a consolidation. we have been running on an upward trend over the last 8-9 months. you would expect some degree of consolidation. i would not overplay i t.
4:25 am
it is not implicit in suggesting that eurozone momentum is diminishing. i think it is the case that, yes, there are concerns about labor markets but they are showing signs of improvement. there are still reasons to suggest that more structural reforms are necessary. is aware of that. from a functional perspective, the euro zone macro stories encouraging. and we regard the ecb in a position to start the road back on a stimulus and we have been bullish on the euro. francine: because of the election in france, we underestimate the political scene. we have italy, we may have early elections and we do not know which way that will go. jeremy: that's true. markets have downplayed the risk in europe on a substantive basis is the first round of the french election. the german election has been taken off probably for good reason but nevertheless, there
4:26 am
is the elephant in the room in terms of the italian system. we wait to see the timing and the ultimate result of that process. i guess the question from a market perspective is after a number of euro skeptic, that is the only thing that is a common theme. think it will be a conglomeration of views around other factors, i think that fragmentation of italian politics may reduce the political risk in terms of market performance. francine: thank you for joining us. jeremy stretch. at cibc. up next, one year on from the e.u. referendum result, all the latest on the brexit negotiations. we will speak to the founder of -- and member of the house of lords who thinks brexit may not happen. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:29 am
4:30 am
shocked its political leaders, amazed its neighbors and panic the markets. as brexit negotiations get underway, we will spend the next half hour discussing what is next for the u.k. in the european union. but first, here's a quick look back. >> the british people have made a very clear decision to take a different path. as such, i think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction. >> inevitably, there will be a period of adjustment following this result. but, as the prime minister said this morning, there will be no initial change in the way our people can travel in the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold. >> we need the negotiations to start as soon as possible. we need to start thinking globally about our future and the other thing i think that needs to happen is that june 23 needs to become a national bank holiday. we will call it independence day. [cheers] francine: well, my first guest
4:31 am
on today show's business leader who says that once people realize the implication of exit the u.k. will opt to remain. i'm very delighted to welcome lord karan bilimoria, the founder of cobra beer, and an independent lawmaker in the house of lords. for joining usch to you have always said that once people realize what exactly brexit entails, there is a way of going back. i speak to a lot of investors saying the markets believe that but it is wishful thinking. lord bilimoria: it is not at all wishful thinking, because what has transpired is people are now beginning to realize the 22nd of february is the key date because that is the date when david cameron announced the referendum. if you look at where the united kingdom was at that time, we the the envy of europe, fastest-growing economy in the western world. we were flying. then four months later, a year ago today, the world changed for us. today from being the envy of
4:32 am
europe, we are the laughing stock of europe. look where we are today. we have got inflation six times where it was, from half a percent to over a percent in wage growth. we are now quite apart from nowpe being in mess and europe is going faster than the u.k. people are beginning to realize, hang on, what have we done? if you look at all the polls for quickly after the elections, the people are saying one, we think the economy is important and to markets are important over and above immigration. i was reading a poll, even leavers who put immigration a top priority are reducing the priority and seeing the importance of the economy and the european union in the markets. francine: i've seen a lot of polls and for me it is not that clear cut. there are still a lot of people saying if there was a second referendum today, which is unclear that there is because no major party said they would try it'set out of brexit, unclear the way people would
4:33 am
vote. lord bilimoria: the problem is that people keep talking about and people -- we are good about respecting the democratic vote that took place. even if a party wins narrowly, they they win. they are about five years and if they do not perform, we throw them out. the difference over here, it was a simple binary vote, stay or leave but not leave on what basis. now, fast-forward a year from already people are changing our minds. the time to respect the will of the people is not last year. it's when there is a deal and then the people say, do we want to leave on this basis? and people might not want to. francine: are there new elections that would form a labour government that would ask a second referendum? in terms of timeline, i do not see how this works. lord bilimoria: in simple terms, you can work with literally the government unilaterally withdrawing article 50.
4:34 am
people have been misled by the prime ministers saying once i put in article 50, there is no turning back. wrote article 50, and i asked him, he said absolutely we can withdrawal article 50. macron, has said, leave, -- please stay on. johnson the boris only potential prime minister that can reverse what we have been through? have you met a famous person that was asked the wanted to leave that has said, i regret that decision? lord bilimoria: you just heard leavewart the head of the campaign who was saying that the referendum, today was reading, the saying the referendum should not have been held in the way it was. we all know. i call it the retro referendum. brexit, what i said in my speech in the house of lords yesterday, soon people will wake up and realize that the brexit emperor
4:35 am
has no clothes. we have the best of both worlds. it is becoming very clear -- it has to come from the people. businesses realize already. we know that businesses unanimously, i speak to audiences all around the country. stay. the hands go up to the people have to realize and e.u. immigration has benefited this country. it is not a burden. it feels it is still a very divided society and that the leavers have not said we have got this wrong. lord bilimoria: what is happened is the remainers were silenced because the brexiteers were so aggressive. especially people like ukip. where is ukip today? it is a joke of a party. some people believed in nigel farage's nonsense. the leavers are so aggressive. the remainers lost their
4:36 am
voice. after this election, they have regained their voice. the cabinet says the majority of people want to remain. if there was a free vote taken in the house of commons, 44% majority remain. now it's got to come from the public. francine: different polls. we will talk about the polls surely. thank you so much. he stays with us. we will also be joined by john fraher who oversees all of our government coverage. now, let's get a round up of a busy week of brexit news. >> on monday, the u.k. lost his first battle over the timetable for brexit talks. on day one, britain's david davis gave in to e.u. demands to discuss the terms of the divorce, including the exit fee. before any consideration on the future trade deal. e.u.e same time as the chief negotiator warned of the consequences would be substantial. the queen's speech on wednesday was dominated by plans for the
4:37 am
u.k.'s withdraw from the e.u. topics from immigration to agricultural outlined in the ceremony to mark the formal opening of parliament. they will supplement the government main brexit initiative, repeal bill decide to transpose all current legislation into british law which takes effect once the exit process is completed in 2019. the u.k. prime minister has residency rights of european union citizens currently living in britain. speaking in brussels, theresa may told her counterparts that almost 3 million e.u. citizens of the u.k. will be able to continue living there after brexit. the proposal met a tepid reception from leaders who stressed that many issues remain unresolved. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in 120 countries. this is bloomberg. francine: thank you. up next, a busy first week of negotiations. we will talk about what is next
4:38 am
4:40 am
francine: you are watching bloomberg "surveillance." a quick check on the markets. we're seeing a moment of weakness and european equities, the stoxx 600, heading for his first monthly decline since january. if you look at the industry groups, energy underperforming, down .5%, despite the fact we are seeing brent higher today. most industry groups in the red.
4:41 am
health care in the red. health care was leaving the gains yesterday. after that eu.s. health care bil news about that came out in the u.s. also, mentioning oil, we are gaining on wti and brent. gold heading higher for a third day, but oil is heading for a fifth weekly drop after sinking into a bear market this week. so, we are looking at the gold-oil spread. at the moment, gold buying you 29 barrels of oil, the spread it is the highest since november. you will see the interplay between the move into the safe haven and the move out of crude. then, looking at the dollar, the dollar index over five days, it is heading for his best week since the starts of april, despite the weakness today. what's lifted it overall is some strength at the start of the week on some hawkishness from fed speakers.
4:42 am
we will hear from more fed officials today in we're hearing from janet yellen next week as well. the dollar3% on index. finally, sterling up today as well. gaining currencies are against the dollar. i wanted to show you sterling a year after brexit, remaining well below its pre-vote peak. the median forecast does see the pound climbing to 1.31 by next year. about 1.27 today. francine: now, one year on from the brexit vote and negotiations are underway but with the clock ticking what will the outcome mean for the future of the e.u. and how business of the affected? with this is the lord karan bilimoria, founder of cobra beer and an independent member of the house of lords. you from the believe that once people realize the impact that brexit will have their economy and their jobs, they will want to reverse the process. what about the 52% that voted to
4:43 am
leave? are we looking at a divided society? lord bilimoria: i would say the 52% that voted to leave last year was less year, exactly a year ago today. it is what will they feel, what will people feel like once all the information is there, once a deal is going to be put before the people will of has to be respected at that stage. that is why this referendum should never have taken place. too simple a choice. it was never leave on what basis. it is only when you present that to the people, are you happy to leave on this basis? also, a lot of people do not understand things fully. there are more searches about the e.u. the day after the referendum. people are much more informed now. look at this one big contradiction. you keep hearing brexiteers saying, the reason, one of the main reasons for brexit is britain can go global.
4:44 am
we can trade with the rest of the world. we are ready -- already 65% of our gdp is straight. here is the contravention. say, we can trade with the rest of the world in do free trade to deals. one, they also say look at u.s. and india, they trade with the e.u. theon't need to be in single market. how contradictory is that? heard all of, i've these arteries. lord bilimoria: do you know how many free trade tdeals india has? $1.25 billion. the fastest-growing economy in the world. nine. secause free trade tdeal are about movement of people. we're not going to get any free trade deals. francine: if this country and the citizens of this country decide that brexit was a mistake, there will be a way of
4:45 am
reversing it. i just don't see that. the tory party lost the election you could argue because they did not get a majority but there was no other party offering an alternative to brexit. this is accepted as something that will go through and at the moment you are trying to make the best out of it. lord bilimoria: because people have taken an attitude, which is a laudable attitude, we have to respect the democratic decision a year ago. people are realizing that was a democratic decision at that point in time and it is not fair on the people to have to leave on any basis. this prime minister's rhetoric of no deal is better than a bad deal -- is wrong. francine: do you think there should be a referendum on the deal that is negotiated? lord bilimoria: when the time comes, if the time comes, and it may not even get to that, because the feelings, the way prime minister has you turned on so many things because of public opinion -- we didn't need a referendum for the prime minister in the manifesto pledge
4:46 am
about social care to u-turn on that. if the public feeling is so strong, we could pull out, pull back article 50. in if the people are happy, we would not need an election or referendum. that is how sen. wicker: be if the public feeling is strong enough. i think people will understand as time goes on, it is better just a in the european union. if you have an soft brexit were you have to pay money to the european union and the have the court of justice, -- movement of people, why not just stay? we have the best of both worlds. francine: mr. karan bilimoria, the founder of cobra beer. i need about three hours with you. up next, we interview the director of europol. this is bloomberg. ♪

tepid reception after leaders said that many issues are main unresolved. this is bloomberg. much.ne: thank you so let's focus on brexit and the future of europe's secured a policy. could a failure to agree on affectty, -- the security. we are joined from the netherlands by the director of europol. rob wainwright. will britain carry on sharing intelligence with the e.u. post-brexit? so, yes but that depends on the outcome of article 50 negotiations. but there is an understanding in london and i think it is shared in brussels that the importance of security cooperation, especially right now when we are facing a heightened threat
4:52 am
from terrorism and highly challenging cyber security attack as the ransomware showed, there is a recognition that all that means we need to stay together as close as possible to fight these challenges and security threats. francine: right. how much cooperation is there with the e.u. at the moment and do you think this will be one of the u.k.'s top priorities when negotiating? rob: theresa may has made it very clear in the letter she sent in march of that initiated the article 50 process, that alongside trade, security is a top line priority for the united kingdom. the is reciprocated by institution of the european union. at the moment, to your question, yes, a considerable amount of intelligence being shared through europol and other police cooperation mechanisms in the e.u. to keep british citizens safe. but in return, to ensure that
4:53 am
britain plays its part in helping to secure a more safer europe as a whole. francine: can the u.k. remain a member of the european arrest -- a team that enables the u.k. to eject criminals? can they remain part of this post brexit, or is it all about political power? think it is relatively straightforward for the u.k. to remain part of europol, because we have a number of association e.u. memberith onnon states. it is more challenging and other areas, including the european arrest warrant. there are issues about the jurisdiction of the european court of justice that would need to be considered. but all of this is open to negotiation. there is an understanding on both sides that we have got to get the right security deal in place for the benefit of europe as a whole. and at this stage, i'm not, it's not possible for me to predict what the outcome of that might be. course,: the u.k., of
4:54 am
has suffered a number of terrorist attacks in recent months. what have you learned from these attacks? rob: i think it illustrates the trench that we have seen in europe over the last two or three years where we have seen a wave of these terrible terrorist atrocities, how dynamic the threat is from a community of thousands of radicalized individuals. very often people on the fringes securityknown to authorities, and very quickly being converted into a very dangerous radicalized terrorists who commit the kind of attacks we have seen. my learning lesson from this is the importance of intelligence sharing, cooperation across borders to meet what is essentially in international security threat we face. but also, it is very difficult to stop every attack because of the highly fragmented, randomized way this community is operating across europe at the moment. francine: how important is u.k. expertise in fighting terrorism? some of these attacks and cybercrime to the e.u.?

rob: the u.k. is rightly regarded around the world, not just in europe, as a leading player in the security dimension. world leading intelligence capabilities. and expertise in policing as well. and those help to shape the way that you're -- that europol has developed in recent years pretty use intelligence and a smarter way to better understand the threats we face, to make the right priority decisions about who we go after. so, there's a strong british legacy throughout the european security agenda. and there is no reason why that cannot continue, even if the status of the united kingdom and the european union changes in the future. francine: how much do you worry about cyberattacks and how much businesses spend to protect themselves against this type of cyberattacks? ransomware, we were told that what was quite a simple exploit of a aught so many -- c

6:04 am
that will probably go on for another five years. that is what they got wrong, i think. people are shifting now, becoming more constructive than they have been. tom: becoming more constructive. a lot of people miss the bull market. they will go back and say there is a yield curve dynamic. we have done this many times. i just featured this on business insider. this deepness of the yield curve. the gloom is over here, recession slowdown, the world is coming to an end. the bloom crew goes like this, you say no by will we not have an all-american recession? the 1995, 19 96, 1997, 1998 -- tom: right here. ed: the yield curve is useful when it goes negatives. that was one of the best times of the american economy. growth was 4.5%. you had the tech boom. i'm worried of the yield curve
6:05 am
flattening. that is not the only thing that i look at. tom: we will get serious with a charge at a cost the media for the radio in a bit. the flat curve and a raging debate over what it means for economic dynamics in the united states. francine: tom and i don't talk before the show, but i have a very similar chart that i want to ask about. this goes back to curve impression. i'm like at the five to 30 year yield spread. this is what it looks like. treasury yield spread narrowing since the recession began in the summer of 2007. for radio listeners, we will push it on social media. see that bond markets equities don't? they are more gloomy about the future. ed: i think the dynamic is that you have this massive cutie in europe. in europe.sive qe 30 or bond yields is negative in europe, -40 basis points. the tenur year yield in

germany. then inflation has evaporated. bad news, but inflation just isn't there. the money prices have come down. you have amazon doing whole foods. a host of things i suggest that inflation is not there. that has also been coinciding with bond yields coming down. francine: the fed is basically saying because the labor market in the u.s. is so strong, that at some point it will still circle through inflation, we just have to give it time. is that right? ed: i think that is right. the cycle, it has been pretty normal. it is just that it is very slow. initially, i thought it would be like this, then i realized it was like this. then you wait six months, and do this. that is what they're having this time, here we are nine years into the expansion and the fed has just started hiking. tom: you must be looking at oil
6:07 am
as well, going back to her heart and soul of c.j. lawrence. i we had the bottom of a range to re-stabilize, or do you have a concern that he could break down into the 30's on oil? ed: it is not my wheelhouse. our house fee was oil will go ut i try to focus on things that i can forecast. oil.riding if oil goes to $30, that would not be consistent to what i think is happening. i hope that it bottoms here. i'm watching iron ore as a sister to it. i think that they reflect something about china. if china is weaker than i think, then oil could go down more than i think. tom: one of the things that we
6:08 am
have observed is copper doing pretty well versus oil which is doing less so. i want to go forward to what we will talk about later, your proprietary work on the pulse of corporations in america. these are charts that only isi, great charts about what people are doing. what is corporate america doing right now? ed: we serve a hundred companies. those surveys went down in too many 14 and 2015 as the economy slowed to 1.5%. since then they have been moving back up and they are trending back of. i know that the data is choppy depending on which indicator, the gdp now, or the index you featured. i think that this economy right now is improving a little bit. francine: either indicators that we should be looking at more than others? certaind looking up indicators, but you mentioned amazon. the way to see the economy is working and changing so much,
6:09 am
what indicator do you look at on the upside or the downside? ed: one is company surveys, two is unemployment claims, they were amazingly low, and celery, the pmi measures. the latest one was the empire. i think the economy is ok, but the economy is changing for sure. sectors such as the new tech, health care, sports entertainment, those are sectors that are driving the economy that we do not have as much data on as we have from normal sectors like autos and housing. francine: is the biggest risk outside the u.s., and if yes, is it china? ed: i was a the biggest risk would be oil going down a lot more. the second would be something in china. third, some sort of policy problem out of washington.
6:10 am
tom: let's bring up the most optimistic chart. we will bring this before marty crushes us with pessimism. these are the claims as compared to the number of unemployed in america. you and i never would have this. it is extraordinary how claims have come down over this cycle. ed: i travel around the u.s. a lot. every city that i go to is booming. the more you find out about it, the more you find out they are booming. from the west coast, the east coast, the southeast, atlanta, nashville, dallas -- when i travel around, what claims look like is what i see. to stay around for the gloom and doom in washington next. ed hyman with us, we will continue through the hour.

this is what lbj used to do with you and guide you down the senatorial hall. side, thethe senate white house is taking a hands-off approach as opposed to the house bill. that may change, but this is a damaged president who is under investigation. his ability to inject himself in the process may be limited. ed hyman, do you care about marty shanker's world? should you, in investment, finance, care about the drama of marty shanker? ed: sure. tom: i need a better answer than that. ed: i have more. i keep a pulse on what is going on in the markets. before the health care bill problem, if you ask people "do you think trump will get his tax
6:17 am
packages through" 80% say yes. today, 20% say yes. the trump factor in the market has been largely removed. saying, i'm not counting on it at the moment. it is not a factor in the markets right now. if they got something through, that would be a surprise. i am not counting on it. francine: i want to get back in ifecond, but on ed's point, this health care plan is in more jeopardy than the other one, what does that mean for tax reform? does it get pushed back? marty: it has been pushed back six different times. they're hoping for -- paul ryan hopes for major tax reform by the end of the year. is, the repeal and replace of obamacare is standing in the way of everything else on the republican agenda.
6:18 am
they have to get past it. my view is that mcconnell will call for a vote, even if you is not sure it will pass, just to get this behind them to move on to other things. whether their constituents will allow them to do that is another question. francine: president trump has changed tracks on the comey tapes. he alluded that he may have recordings, now he says he does not have any. what does that mean for the investigation? marty: various news outlets have pointed out that among former prosecutors, there is a large concern this may put the president in jeopardy for intimidation of witnesses, something he probably did not calculate when he made the tweet. words have consequences, especially if it is from the president. tom: is the president playing golf this weekend? marty: probably. i am not sure where he will be,

6:24 am
andsufficient, vague, lacking in detail. theresa may said she would give details on monday. a lot of leaders are withholding judgment and will wait until monday to see exactly what those details are. i think theresa may expected a more welcoming reaction to her proposal when she gave it to eu leaders last night. francine: i have 2 morning must-read's. it was tongue-in-cheek, very not guessaying i did that your leader would have political chaos. he was not expecting it would be more dire despite unemployment rates have been lower than when he was a 13-year-old and rod 's "sailing" was on top of the pops.
6:25 am
>> they're still trying to figure out exactly what theresa may's administration wants at this point. i do not think anyone expected things to be this chaotic a year after the referendum. difficulty in the election and whatnot, it has been up in the air. the proposal on citizens rights was thought to be one of the easy goals. to have theirt citizens have reassurance on their rights. if they can't get this easy thing right quickly, it won't look good for the technical things they have to get done. "m: christopher cross did sailing" better than mr. stewart. i love the minutiae about this back-and-forth in europe. what are they whispering in our ear?
6:26 am
i think they are planning on, hopefully, having a summer the way they usually do. not too much. brexit has thrown the whole thing into chaos. what they want is next week to get the citizens rights things out there, get the details of the basel. hopefully they will be able to start working something out. the court jurisdiction is one of the big things that comes into this. that is a contentious issue as well. francine: thank you. ed hyman from evercore stays with us. next, we have ubs. this is bloomberg. ♪

zürich this morning. thank you. u.s.nderscored better economy and one of the themes we've had on bloomberg is a better european economy. his europe at escape velocity in terms of economic growth? well, we've been disappointed before on the escape velocity. we think that this time, we may have a winner. that iswe're playing overweight and european equities versus u.k. equity, and overweight the euro versus the u.s. dollar. tom: bring up the chart here, jason. , we area ed hyman chart stealing from ever core isi to get perspective and i may walk out the the studio. this is my taylor riggs chart. europe,auto sales in
6:31 am
which taylor riggs and ed hyman agree have exploded higher. that's a really good litmus test, isn't it? mark: we think so. we think we think we're going to be accelerating earnings growth beyond the auto sector. broaden out both because of domestic recovery and also the global economy recovering in europe exporting. francine: the concern is that first of all, we saw pmi's today and euro area momentum easing a little bit. on car sales, and europe have a lot of transition -- countries transitioning to a cleaner economy. i feel so much richer, i should buy a car, it's germanman economy -- government will offer me this much of a trade in my car. why are we so optimistic? we talk about trends in the level was horrific.
6:32 am
comparatively year ago, we are growing, but think goodness, otherwise we would be in terrible straits. are coming off a low base, but i think that provides some upsides safer european equities, particularly against the u.k. equities, where the earnings expectations are already something like 22% earnings growth. we see more of a likely to be disappointed on that side than on the european side. francine: are we crying victory too soon? we think emmanuel macron being elected president of france means we won't get another way for populism in europe? mark: that's a very interesting question. i think we've certainly seen amongst our clients and lessening of fear of the populace wave. populist wave.- arelitmus test for populism

6:34 am
ed: i think everybody watches the pmi's pretty carefully. velocity --escape we are too old for that. we are 10 years into the expansion and we are not going to get escape velocity. that's early in the expansion. nothing is really booming. car sales are up sharply, maybe 7%, but they are lower than they were in 99. whatnk with happening is people are begun to realize is we have a slow and steady global economy that continues to make progress year after year, and it's probably going to go on for a number more years. edncine: going back to what was just saying, the concern is we will not get escape a lot for the, that this is the new normal , but we also need to get ready for the next downturn when that comes. should the ecb and the fed hike rates as soon as possible to make sure they are prepared for the next crisis?
6:35 am
mark: we don't think they should. every central banker would like closerar hawkish and get to normalization of monetary policy, given the period of exceptional policies we have had. we just don't think it's justified, nor will they do it, given that inflation is just not picking up, despite the higher employment that we see coming through the system. when we look at this, clearly now that the fed has moved into a hiking cycle, we do think we are further on in the cycle and we are putting on more relative trades. right in the picture still remains relatively robust, and that means in the asset allocation, we do have a overweight in equities versus the high-grade bonds. tom: we have a real transatlantic polarity today.

you and francine actually know what millennial's are, me and ed do not. you've done some serious research on all the certitudes of millennials. what is the biggest canard, the biggest myths about so-called millennial's? atk: i think when we look millennial's, this is supposed to be the me generation, these kids that just air their cell phones. we asked as that's not really the case. this is a generation that will quickly have $24 trillion in wealth that they are responsible for, and increasingly, they wanted them for that towards impact investing and sustainable investing. we see them as a positive force in the world ahead, that everyone, not just wealth managers needs to start paying attention to. an exclusive,ve
