wages climbing, and we are not seeing wages climbing quickly. when i step back and look at this from a nation perspective, and what does it mean for monetary policy, i'm looking for that wage growth as an indicator that maybe the economy is overheating, maybe we are going to start seeing inflation. mark: as western central-bank figures strike an increasingly hawkish tone, canada will likely become the first g7 country to join the u.s. in raising rates. the bank of canada widely expected to hike its interest rate by a quarter percentage point. 3:00 p.m. london time. hasrgan boss jamie dimon one the unwinding of bond buying programs is an unprecedented challenge that may be more disruptive than people think. he spoke in paris yesterday. >> we've never had something like this before. we've never had unwinding like

this before. that should say something about the risk. mark: let's bring in james barty, head of global assets at merrill lynch, and james bevan. james b. and james b. going to be a tricky one. we will start with the near james first. let's start with questions about yellen. balance sheet first. when are they going to start shrinking it? >> sometime in the second half of the year. i think it is coming. it makes sense the fed starts to unwind the balance sheet here. we are well into the recovery. we saw payrolls numbers that look quite solid. it is about time the fed starts to take some of this out of the system. how disruptive is this going to be? when they eventually decide to reduce the balance sheet, we

think they will hold off from rate rises a little bit. if that is fine, then follow through. mark: do you concur with that, james? the market seems to say september for balance sheet, end of year for rate hike. >> i think that is correct. the u.s. treasury has been spending cash and that has been supporting the u.s. market. as the balance sheet is reorganized, we get a double hit , which is going to be interesting to watch. mark: and james, the other issue given recent comments from yellen, from other fed officials , on asset prices, do asset prices now figure, do financial market prices, financial conditions, figure in the fed's assessment, and monetary policy, given what the fed chair set a week ago? >> they are not looking at

markets and saying, we need to puncture a bottle. what they are saying is, notwithstanding the fact that they've raised rates, financial conditions seem to have gotten looser. you can proceed with the tightening because financial conditions are still pretty loose. hence why they can unwind the balance sheet. mark: james, what about inflation? it is going in the opposite direction. we heard from neel kashkari about the link between inflation and wages. well running the labor market hot drive-up wages or inflation? there's a fear you could unleash rampant price pressures and financial bubbles. where are you on this, running the economy a little hot when it comes to stoking inflation and wages? >> i would identify two separate pressures. there has been a shift from skillful people, who are in short supply, to less skillful

people with low wages. that number has been depressed. the other issue is that it is clear that u.s. companies are seeing a revenue benefit, such that the payment is justified and capable of being sustained. as long as we have low inflation, there will be resistance from employers to pay more. what happens to the one third or one quarter of u.s. and u.k. cpi, which is in global trading goods and services, where we have north asian economies exporting deflation? well an inflation impetus remain in place? what it speaks to is the whole challenge of, what is china going to do in the second half? mark: has china cpi peaked? pbi has been rising after that multi-year downward trend. it is coming off the top now,

isn't it? >> i think they still want volume gains. in the west, we tend to think that corporations pursue profit. north asian economies are more focused on volume, trying to achieve more market share. i think china wants cash flow and is worried about the stability of its banking system, its credit, its investment, and its property market. i think the pboc and china's authorities are immensely competent, but they have a significant task with which to revel in the second half. mark: james barty, james bevan. let's get the bloomberg business flash. nejra: burberry shares are up after comparable sales beat estimates in the first quarter. that has given the new ceo a boost as he seeks to benefit from a rebound in china while overhauling the u.s. business. tookormer head of celine

would have done things differently. this is before the russia mania. for me this was opposition research. they had maybe concrete evidence to the stories i had been hearing about that were probably unreported for years. i wanted to hear it out. really, it went nowhere. senator mark warner, the highest-ranking democrat on the senate intelligence committee, told us the contact was clearly inappropriate. >> those questions are going to be, why was he so excited, and why didn't he understand that having this kind of outreach from a russian national acting, it appeared, on behalf of the russian government, to tear down clinton and bring up his father -- i think anyone, even a rookie, would realize that was inappropriate. mark: let's get more with our congress reporter. still with us, james barty from

merrill lynch and james bevan from ccl i investment management. kathleen, thanks for joining us. within the context of the ongoing investigation into whether the trump campaign colluded with the russians in the election campaign, what does this actually prove? >> i think this is potentially a big turning point. until now, the trump campaign and officials and administration have been saying, we didn't have any contact with the russian. the story keeps changing bit by bit. with the release of these emails, we can see that as early as june of 2016, donald trump junior at least was aware there was some russian effort to help his father get elected. that is one of the things that is said in these emails. that is fairly significant. if you then take a look back at all the stories and statements

have of the trump campaign and white house since then, some of them are hard to square. president,et the donald trump junior told us yesterday, wasn't aware of this meeting. >> correct, that is the current story for claim out of the white house. it seems like every time, there's this trip of new information. bigink that is one of the questions now, or the big question. what did the president know and when did he know it, to use a phrase from another investigation. mark: they are all being sucked into the investigations. donald trump junior, one would assume, will be sucked into the special counsel investigation. >> also, there's the capitol hill investigations at the same time. the number two senate republican, john cornyn, said he expected donald trump junior

would have to testify, perhaps behind closed doors. the top democrat on the senate judiciary committee called for a public hearing of her panel where donald trump junior testify publicly about this. i assume there's going to the pressure on republicans to allow trump junior to testify in public. mark: those that say that donald trump junior was merely collecting opposition research, a normal part of any campaign -- your face says it all. what would you reply to that? >> i think mark warner said it pretty well, even a rookie campaign operative, which the trump family did not have a lot of experience prior to this, but there should be something in nate in someone that is able to distinguish opposition research from any other thing,

and intelligence, information from a foreign adversary. mark: it was quite threadbare, wasn't it? >> absolutely. we've seen this again and again. he ran as a political outsider. they function as people that, their whole shtick is they aren't typical politicians. they are new to washington. they are going to shake things up. one of the things we see is a lack of background, and i might say a lack of respect, for the traditions that come with being potentially a public servant, and how that is different from being a businessman. iversenmes bevan, dan says the trump junior news dimmed the u.s. economic outlook. his key initiatives less likely to win approval before the 2018 midterm elections. would you agree? >> i think there is a reduced

probability the tax reforms will go through. u.s. revenues are likely to be dim. i'm drawing a subtle distinction between the outlook for corporate earnings and the outlook for revenues. i look at the indicators in the oecd but also from the pmi and i see robust revenue growth. i don't share if you that the u.s. economy is in trouble. mark: james barty, what is priced into equities when it comes to tax reform? >> i would say not a lot right now. year, wend of last start to get excited about it. you saw stocks starting to move. we've unwound that a lot. when i talked to investors, basically the expectation is that if there are tax cuts, they are going to be small, delayed, and the big issue for markets about ball trump and russia, how

much does it impact capital? how much does it stop them getting legislation through? that is what markets care about. mark: coming back to our fed discussion, the fed can continue on its gradual path without having to worry about infrastructure measures or other measures. >> for me, the language is more about normalization rather than tightening. i don't think the fed's actions will be anything risking a shift back to recession. i don't worry about equity markets myself. mark: james barty, james bevan, kathleen hunter, thank you for joining us. still to come, saudi arabia said to have breached production limits for the first time. we focus on the oil story next. this is bloomberg. ♪

mark: you are watching "bloomberg surveillance." saudi arabia is said to have pumped more than 10 million barrels of oil a day in june, exceeding its production limit for the first time since brokering that deal to curb the global supply glut. the kingdom usually raises production in the summer to raise demand for air conditioning and ramadan. crude has declined 15% this year, entered a bear market last month. still with us, james barty and james bevan. james, that is what i

shall call you now. one of youre, competitors were saying, the market needs from opec. cut and oil won't fall below $40 a barrel. has opec got it within itself? >> i doubt they are going to do much more than they are doing. our view is that the cuts they've actually made are probably enough to stabilize the oil price around here. i don't think they need to go dramatically further. clearly, what they were hoping for is that these cuts would push the oil price back up to $55, $60 a barrel. demand seems to be weaker. u.s. driving has not been a strong. supply has come on stream much faster. we are locked between opec having done the reductions and the supply that comes above $50 a barrel.

we are probably stuck in a $45, $50 range. mark: james bevan, the commerzbank narrative says opec strategy was doomed from the very beginning. it is all about shale, that is what he said. >> if it were all about shale, there's a ray of light for the saudi's. the rate of growth is beginning to flatten and fall away. that would be good news if that was the only issue. i worry about the motivation of people within the oil industry. the hard reality that sustainable energy and e- vehicles are beginning to lead to a long-term decline in demand for oil -- if you are an oil producing nation, you want to produce a lot right now because it still has value. in 30 years time, nevermind the amount in the ground. people may not want it anymore. look at the number of oil companies that say, we're going

to be number one in e-cars by 2025. we've had volvo, volkswagen, tesla, all saying they have huge plans. it is the automobile that is the principal driver of global demand for oil. mark: how do we as investors take advantage of that, the push into electric cars? we had volvo announcing that it is going to manufacture only electric or hybrid models from 2019 onwards. >> i would say there are two separate strategies to container -- consider. in terms of the e-vehicle revolution, i would be looking at the tire manufacturers. that is a critical part of maintaining efficiency. michelin is an obvious name to call. the other is trying to deal with the makers of the moving parts. e-cars have so fewer moving parts.

traditional engineers are in real trouble. the big players like johnson are well-placed to do well on the back of this revolution. if we are correct in saying the oil price is going to remain turbulent, how else might you want to play this? tohink there is a real case saying, let's be buying emerging markets. they will benefit from a rise in the oil price. bp was asked of when peak oil will happen. 2, 2042. date, june up next, with slowing growth and rising inflation, we bring you the latest u.k. jobs data. this is bloomberg. ♪

the demand of air-conditioning. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm nejra cehic. this is bloomberg. mark: just getting some breaking jobs data out of the u.k. consumers continuing to see spending power eroded by feeble wage increases and rising cost of living, despite unemployment falling. regular earnings rising 2% in the three months through may through -- from a year earlier. slightly up from april. well behind the rate of inflation last month. inflation up 2.9% year on year. real pay fell by 0.5%. that figure could turn negative as cpi pushes past 3%, which is driven by the decline in sterling since the brexit vote over a year ago. pay remains subdued even though demand is healthy.

unemployment fell by 64,000, taking the jobless rate to 4.5%. employment climbed 175,000, the most since the end of 2015, to a record 32 million. the number of unemployed people for vacancy fell to a record low 1.9. these figures underscore the dilemma that split the bank of england over whether to raise interest rates. let's get more on the u.k. ben broadbent said he's not ready to vote for higher rates even though he sees the pressures to do so building up. he says there's reason to see the committee moving in the direction, but there's still a lot of imponderables. he describes making a decision a little bit tricky at the moment. james barty from merrill lynch, james bevan from ccla investment management.

they really do, james, underscore the dilemma facing boe policymakers. >> if you look at the employment numbers, perhaps the bank of england should be raising rates. you look at the wage inflation numbers and say, if you've only got 2%, the bank of england is not exceeding its inflation target over the medium term. jobless claims have not been up for a few months in a row. the rate of growth is slow. can the strength of those employment gains be sustained going forward? to my mind, ben broadbent is right. the bank of england should be forward-looking. the rise in inflation is squeezing real wages, slowing the economy down, and as long as wage inflation doesn't pick up, the bank of england will be hitting their target. ork: are you a broadbentite are you going to go for the hawks? >> i think you can make a very good case why we need a rate

hike relatively early. ,here is a broad expectation somehow the consumer benefits. the consumer is still paying 6% or 7% to borrow money. a very significant difference from the 25 bit official rate. the very low official rate is leading to asset price inflation that makes life very difficult in the housing market. it is also not leading to fresh investment. i suspect the government and the bank of england would rather see more investment in the real economy to solve the productivity problem. that isn't going to be solved by low interest rates. i think the bank of england, recognizing domestic inflation remains high, and the global inflation story is not within its control, should be thinking about raising rates. it is fiscal policy. it is the direction of travel

that needs to be the real focus. mark: all those things picked up by theresa may and our government, which is wobbling, propped up by the dup, that speech to push through anything that isn't brexit, all other things up in the air -- can she push through these much-needed measures on fiscal nature and productivity? >> i think it is difficult for them to do anything other than brexit. the one area where i'm sympathetic is that i suspect the fiscal range will be loosened somewhat. there's already this debate about public-sector pay. clearly that is not going to happen this year. if you look forward to 2018, i think it is almost impossible to maintain its current stance on public-sector pay. philip hammond is going to have to find more room in a slightly higher fiscal deficit to fund that. that may put additional pressure

on the bank of england. >> to me it is all about growth. if we simply say we are going to pay public servants more, all we have is a bigger bill today. we can have higher taxes, which is redistribution. we can take the money from somewhere else. that is redistribution. or we can grow the economy. we need government policies that encourage investment. encourage rebalancing the economy away from overreliance on financial services. mark: brexit, how is it going from your perspective, james? >> i've previously described brexit as a slow-motion car crash. mark: has that changed? >> i think we have every evidence it is. >> i think the car crash is accelerating. mark: a slow-motion accelerating car crash. >> a lot of people thought immediately after the vote, there was going to be a lot of turmoil. actually, the pain was always

going to come later. we're seeing sterling's decline. we're seeing foreign direct investment slow down. are we going to get the investment the economy needs? as long as we've got the uncertainty and companies can't be convinced the u.k. is going to stay in the customs union, they are not going to make that foreign direct investment. that is going to drag on growth. the way negotiations have started, it looks like we are not going to get an early conclusion on the trade side. mark: not only have they have to worry about the brexit negotiations, which have started in a tricky manner because of the you nationals living here, what about the government itself? are business is going to invest given the backdrop is so weak and wobbly? >> we worry about stable politics because we got used to stable politics. you go around europe and you think, when did the dutch last

have a government? yet the dutch economy is fine. germany's industrial production of five percentage points year on year. they've got an election coming up. mark: minority government is not a bad thing? >> as long as there is entrepreneurial flair and real investment. mark: james barty and james bevan, stay with us. janet yellen's semiannual testimony just around the corner. we're going to talk about market positioning for the second half of 2017. that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪

mark: you are watching "bloomberg surveillance." let's look at the market action.

nejra cehic is here. nejra: european stocks rebounding from an april low today. we saw them grand lower after controversy over trump junior. u.s. stocks recovered. european stocks didn't. 0.6%.oxx 600 up some energy stocks leading the gains. almost every industry group gaining. historically, july has tended to be the best month. we will see if that follows through. today, european equities bid. look at sterling. we were seeing weakness earlier from the comments from ben broadbent. seeing a little bit of an edge higher after that wage and unemployment data, meaning we are overall flat on sterling at the moment. it was on its fourth day of declines. longest streak of declines march for cable.

we are keeping a close eye on this. it was the only currency out of the g10 to be declining against the dollar. we were seeing some dollar weakness following through from the politics yesterday and on the dovishness from the fed. the dollar pretty much flat at the moment. treasury yields have been moving lower. we are looking at the two the fed, to janet yellen. also to the bank of canada with that anticipated rate hike. i thought i would show you what has been happening with canadian two-year yields versus the u.s. that yield in canada has been ramping higher in comparison on those expectations and the boc;s boc's hawkish tone. finally, talking about oil, wti above$45 a barrel, brent $48. these bouncing back after some of the bearish positioning in

about a year. mark: thank you. as markets await testimony from janet yellen, with corporate earnings season getting into full swing, let's talk about how investors should be positioned. with us still, james barty from merrill lynch, james bevan of ccla investment management. james, i know you love talking about earnings. james bevan, how is the earnings season? >> i'm really optimistic. to me, the earnings season is why one can be bullish. i expect decent earnings this year and next year. that allows me to conclude that the s&p 500 is still cheap. mark: you've got to disagree, james. >> sadly, no. i think the earnings season is going to be pretty good. if you look at the things we look at, to give us an idea where the momentum is, the pmi's, there's still a global

synchronized recovery. that tells us not just that earnings are going to be good this year, but that should run into next year, and equity markets are pretty well supported. we've been cautious over the summer. we felt it was a good start to the year. central banks were becoming more hawkish. that was always going to cause equity markets indigestion. but our argument has been that, as that comes to an end, as bond yields start to stabilize, you want to buy equities again. mark: the queen of charts, hillary clark, compiles all these wonderful charts. g #btv 2012. this essentially shows stoxx 600 estimates by year. usually the trend is up and down. this year they've been remarkably stable. is it warranted, justified?

>> to me, it will, because we've had very positive numbers. both in manufacturing and in non-manufacturing. i look at the scale of uplift in forward expectations and current conditions. this is consistent with earnings numbers being very robust in europe. mark: what about currency? james barty, trade weighted euro, ggp flat lines. given the euro's path in the first half of the year, monetary policy, how is currency going to play into earnings? >> it is going to be a slight drag. we estimate for every 10% rise in the euro, it knocks 4% off earnings. it is about a 4% move so far. hit to about a 1.6% earnings. when we are talking 15% plus

earnings growth, the operational leverage comes through from that stronger economic growth. certainly nothing to change the face of the equity markets. mark: james bevan, we've had in in yields. we know why. coordinated hawkish rhetoric from central banks. how much further has that got to run, and at what pace? there -- long-term bear of bond markets but i'm not expecting a collapse. the anchoring of central banks will keep a sensible point for yields. i don't believe there will be a strong selloff. i would like to see a gilt yield that was much higher. that would unshackle the pensions from many of the current perceived obligations and send a real message that the u.k. economy was good for business. we are long way from being able to see a strong gilt market.

mark: are we, james? >> in terms of a big rise in yields, yes. i think a month or so ago, bond markets were too relaxed about the world. we were starting to price out the vast majority of fed rate hikes. bund yields were down. we started to reset those expectations back to more sensible levels. there's still only about 2.5 rate hikes priced in over the next 2.5 years. my guess is this backup in bond yields has got a little further to go. mark: things a lot, gentlemen. negative yielding bonds equate to 6 trillion now versus 12 trillion just after brexit. james barty, head of global process at at merrill lynch. as a bevan, cio at ccla management. we're going to talk to the private aviation company cutting through any brexit turbulence.

forward with the global 8000? thomas: that is still in the cards. what the entire industry is expecting is that extra 13 foot in length is now giving you long-haul flights, 15, 16 hours nonstop, and i think that is enough range to the from the middle east to america, and that is the range the industry needed. mark: you are not worried about its financial troubles? thomas: no. we have business as normal with bombardier. great company to work with. they have the canadian government supporting them. mark: we talked about brexit. what about the brexit impact on your business? thomas: we see a very strong business of ceo's, chairmen, flying into london come out of london. london is our number one city in the world. that is a strong indicator for us. mark: where is the growth when

it comes to traffic to cities? thomas: the biggest growth we have seen in the united states, now the united states is the number one country for takeoff and landing's at vista jet. that is a huge endorsement of our business model in the united states. we see growth from the u.s. to asia, from the u.s. to europe, so that the continental flying. mark: donald trump talking about privatizing the u.s. air traffic control system, what are your thoughts on that? thomas: that is up to the u.s. politics. we perform in the current environment. we will perform in the future environment. the business in the u.s. is very strong. large corporations, ceo's, are saying, why do i need to put this aircraft on my balance sheet if there's a subscription service which does provide me with a better service?

mark: let's talk about supersonic like. -- supersonic flight. nasa testing technology. getting serious about producing a supersonic business jet. how much would customers be willing to pay for such an experience? thomas: i was a big user of the concorde in the 90's. i know all the business benefits. it is a highly complex technology. i personally believe this is at least 10 years away from putting it into service. i think clients would pay a significant premium. you're selling time. these business jets are time machines. i think supersonic will have a future, but we don't see it anywhere before 10 years. mark: what about the use of technology to better coordinate the unused capacity? do you see any of these efforts being successful? thomas: the apps are another

sales platform. what we have launched just recently is our own app, which allows clients to see where our airplanes are, and take the airplane wherever they want to take it. chairmen, they want to know where an aircraft is, use it efficiently, and fly to their destination. mark: thomas flohr, chairman and founder of vista jet.

monetary policy report and answers questions on the state of the economy before the house today. you can see that live right here on bloomberg television at 10:00 a.m. wall street time. the bank of canada announces the interest rate decision today and willmists say canada become the first group of seven countries to join the u.s. in raising rates. this is be the first increase since 2010. investors are looking at the decision as a possible harbinger of things to come globally. british consumers are continuing to see spending power eroded with the wage increases, even with unemployment falling to a 42 year low. so, as a result, fell by 0.5%. that figure is forecasted to push increasingly negative. global news 24 hours a day, powered by 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries around the world. i'm taylor riggs.

this is bloomberg. tom: thank you, taylor. equities, bonds, currencies, commodities. we will have all of this with michael mckee in washington at the 10:00 hour. the curve, a little bit flatter. next screen, please. oil with a left this morning. the yen, stronger in from that weak week over the last four to six days. the renminbi gets my attention. and is a stronger renminbi as it got a lot of play, it surprised me how quiet people are on the yuan. guy: absolutely. they could just be a dollar story this morning. the pound has come back, talking about the cable rate. earlier this morning and weekend, indicating he is not ready to raise rates. the data is better than expected

over the last 30 minutes out of the u.k. when it comes to the earnings picture. but not as squeezed, much as anticipated. if unemployment gives going down, we will get some sort of an effect on the wage data. who knosws when. that is more good news for the hawks at the bank of england. european stocks are up 1.5%. there is weird stuff happening in tehe bund market. oil is climbing another day today, which is worth paying attention to. tom: thank you so much for that. let me go to the bloomberg. this is a chart for char air yellen. political on the article with gary cohn from the white house is a future fed chairman. this is the lollipop chart, two year yield. we have this up, up, up move in

yields. is this escape velocity? here,reach this curve up here is the next meeting, and here is where we might have a new fed chairman. that gives you a graphic of the two year yield and chair yellen. guy: one of the more interesting decisions today comes from canada. tom: yes. guy: we will be paying attention to this throughout the day. we have seen the cab gaining serious traction. but the market is still nervous about this. thise short going into decision. there is interesting marketing positioning going on here. this blue line shows you the risk reversals and this is the one week in the white. the skew favors coal. not everybody is completely convinced that the bank of canada is going to deliver later on and if it doesn't, you will

be a massive market reaction. guy: i want to bring my bloomberg global audience into what we are observing in the u.s. with theyork times" latest lead on the story with her conversation with "the post," etc. ofs is an email on the cover "the new york times." when was the last time you saw an female on the cover of a newspaper? that is the uproar we have seen over the last 72 hours. mr. trump junior appeared last night most comfortably with sean hannity of fox. here he is. >> in retrospect i would have done things different levels of this is before the russia-mania. for me, this was opposition research. they had something, maybe concrete evidence to all the stories i was hearing about, but maybe they were underreported. i wanted to hear it out. but really, it went nowhere and

it was apparent that was not what the meeting was about. tom: joining us now, kathleen hunter at the desk with guy johnson. and bhanu baweja will join us as well. kathleen, let me go to you here. can i make the statement that policy discussions are dead because of the uproar over mr. trump junior? >> i think that a lot of the policy discussions, or discussion surrounding the trump agenda, where all my support prior to yesterday -- were on life support, prior to yesterday's revelations. there was a republican lunch that was going to be about trying to find a path forward on an obamacare repeal. the donald trump junior news broke as that was breaking up. that became kind of -- it hijacked that conversation and all of the discussion on capitol hill was about trump and russia

again, and not necessarily about an obamacare appeal. definitely on life support, maybe dead for good, a lot of the trump agenda. tom: help educate us on what i am trying to get up to speed on, which is this collusion and conspiracy. what have you learned in the last 24 hours? >> the idea of collusion is, legally speaking, these are all terms where there is a legal definition versus an ethical or what should be done best practices definition. i think with conspiracy it is usually, you have groups of people working to act together and when it comes to collusion, i think that what we are seeing from donald trump junior, in terms of his contact with who he believed to be a russian government official, who he believed would be providing him information that would help his father win the campaign, which he also was told russia was trying to do, i think a lot of

that goes pretty far towards showing at least, you know, on an ethical level that there was some level of collusion. the legal question, lawyers are divided on whether or not that can be proved. guy: funny, financial markets can generally only think of one thing that one time. >> this is an important story because the question is whether we will be a big rebound in capex in the u.s. that is the big question for q2 and q3. this does muddy the waters. if you just look at financial markets, there is not a lot been priced in for the trump agenda, as you said. nonetheless, at the margin, this does add to political uncertainty, which does mean rebound, that might get postponed even further. i would not say this is completely immaterial. this might not matter for the s&p right away, but it matters

for the economy and therefore, matters for what the fed is thinking medium-term. guy: if it gets worse, is there a point at which it you go, i need to sears the start pricing this in? it is an incremental story, thus far. you can't really figure out -- we're back to where we started on the reflation trade. the market is not expecting much in terms of the policy agenda. do you expect a point in time when this it celebrates? >> the way the market has priced in geopolitical and local risk is very binary. the way they priced in the italian referendum, brexit, trump -- the payoff for that has been exactly the opposite of how people have priced it out. i don't think this will be priced in incrementally. i think this will be priced digitally. my worry is that this leads to uncertainty in.

-- uncertainty in capex. his agenda is about manufacturing in the u.s. while you have seen some improvement in jobs growth, you have nothing any improvement in capitalization. tom: kathleen, the president i believe attend paris for bastille day. how will he be greeted? >> he was just in europe. the cease-fire, the syrian cease-fire deal he struck with putin was overshadowed by the problems that come. when he lands in france, this will continue to be a question that dogs him. tom: kathleen, thank you very m uch. we will continue with bhanu baweja, a lot to talk about on dollar dynamics. and of course will look for chair yellen at 10:00 a.m. today. michael mckee is in washington

to lend perspective through the morning. chair yellen with the testimony, but really, those answers to piercing questions. from london, from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ reporter: this is "bloomberg

revive the fortunes. he will take over the role next month. that is your bloomberg business flash. guy: thank you very much indeed. janet yellen begins her semiannual testimony in washington later today on the hill. investors looking for guidance on when the fed could start reducing its balance sheet. yesterday we got a little bit of guidance from lael brainard, one of the more dovish members from the fomc. she is comfortable with pushing have with plans to starts ranking the balance sheet -- to start shrinking the balance sheet soon. she was less clear on when rates should be raised. president trump is increasingly unlikely to nominate yellen for another term, according to politico. politico thinks that gary cohen could be the lead candidate to replace her. let's get more with bhanu baweja , ubs head. it comesher or, when

to september, we start rolling the balance sheet off, and december, we start increasing rates? do i think of those two as a package, or do i think of them as separate events? >> they are a package, but there is a sequence.. more likelyey will go for a rate hike. lael brainard said yesterday they do want to get rates up to a certain level. so, there is a threshold. in case they need it to, if the economy were to unexpectedly tank, they would cut rates again. they want the policy before they start moving on the balance sheet. she is also quite clear on the difference between these policies. the shortened rates, the policy rate, has an impact on the dollar, which is why she does not want that to be pushed too far. she maintains her stance that the real, terminal rate for the fed is close to zero.

can go.nce sheet the reason why her testimony was regarded as dovish is because she said the terminal interest rate is still zero, and that we are almost there. we don't have a lot more work to do out here. that is what makes yellen's testimony interesting. they shouldhe idea be getting up to a positive or at least neutral rate in the fed funds. this is the bloomberg dollar index, which is very good math. here is the election over here, a strong dollar, and the role is going to end, as bhanu knows it. this is a weak trend since january of this year. how does chair yellen adapt to a dollar that has confounded everyone? >> i would think they would be happy with the outcome of the dollar. this is why lael brainard has said we need to go slightly slower, but one thing brainard

-- in december of 2015, brainard was the first one to say we need to be careful about the international consequences, i.e. china, of a tightened fed policy. the one thing the fed is quite comfortable with. this morning we saw china's credit numbers being released. you spoke about the renminbi, very stable, the lowest it has been in two years. aboutwere much less financial conditions tightening. i think at the margin, if the dollar strengthens a little bit and lael brainard has been arguing against getting too aggressive on rates, but if the dollar strengthens a little bit against emerging markets, i has the ability to become reduced. because emerging markets are at least much more stable. guy: what do we know about gary cohn's view of monetary policy? >> it is very likely similar to

his earlier colic deadly. h-- is earlier colleague dudley. he will be focused on financial conditions. there seems to be a preset course from the fed. i don't think it is likely he will knock that off. in this context, and given the fact that unemployment -- you will be quite focused on unemployment. his political affiliations are democrat and he is not worked for trump for a long time. i think that will mean he is focused on the labor market, but there is not enough here, other than his obvious understanding of the financial conditions. tom: that will keep us busy through the summer and frankly, into the fall and next year as well. you really wonder where this will go with randal qaurles as the vice chairman. thoselly wonder, between two. withll continue

bhanu baweja. we will do a touch on brazil as well. in the next hour, bruce kasman with an interesting research note from jpmorgan on reflation. reflation. stay with us. this is bloomberg. ♪ guy: 23 minutes after the hour.

guy johnson in for francine lacqua. the senate has approved a bill loosening decades of labor laws, a big victory for president

michel temer. he is awaiting a report recommending whether he should be prosecuted or not on fraud charges. still with us is bhanu baweja. this is a big win. there is still a lot coming down the pipe for michel temer, but the labor market stuff is the easy bit and the pension market stuff is the hard bed. is the rate of change the problem? he is not making progress fast enough to get brazil out of the hole it is in? >> this becomes a big political question. when are we likely to see the next regime come in and take the mantle? i think the market has now accepted the current administration will not be able to present a plan to stabilize brazil. remember, the current rate, we are losing time. it is not just the fact that we will get pension reform eventually we should be happy about. it matters whether we get it in

2017, 2018 come or 2019 and the markets are not prized for 2019. the credit risk increases because there is a risk that brazil goes to 90% before 2021, which is what the imf expects if we don't get the primary deficit in order. while this was a step in the right direction, we need to see pension reform being expedited and for that, we need to see the next regime come in. guy: if i see michel temer being prosecuted, do i see that as a positive? how do i price that? >> yes, the sooner you get a new regime, the better it is for the market. the market is helpful we see this sooner rather than later. inflation has really come off in brazil. there is a possibility that we g policy loser, so the

market is taking the view that monetary policy will get cut more than what is being priced in. i think that makes sense. tom: we will continue with bhanu baweja. much to talk about here on the challenges of commodity-based e.m., as well as not commodity. on the other ward day. howard ward was brilliant. his colleague will join us during the 6:00 hour tomorrow and i promise i will get him to give you some stock tips. this is bloomberg. ♪

combination. inventory, it is still kind of getting to the constructive level but not as much as the market would have liked it at this point in the summer season. second in terms of libya and nigeria coming back, smart balance is canned not within the opec -- smarter balances not within the opec deal more than this point last year. all of that is adding and weakening sentiment. point --s what do a opec exports look like? willow bay c -- will they come in lower or stay where they are? i think that is the key, how will markets balance? guy: one of the things we expect is the dollar goes up and oil goes down and vice versa.

the dollar has been going down in oil has gone down, explain. miswin mahesh: the correlation between oil and the dollar has been on and off. at this point, whenever we see the correlation very strong, it is a point when demand is in the driver's seat. the supply side is driving the market and that is what we are seeing the correlation breakdown. having itseeing oil own fundamentals, demand is doing quite well at this stage. that said, it would not be surprised if later on we start seeing the correlation coming back. for now, it is a supply side. a chart with a two day moving average. to $30 arrel and down barrel. the home on the range, a little

bit of a curve. a little bit of a weakening. what price does saudi arabia want? miswin mahesh: ideally, they want you dollars a barrel level -- $60 a barrel level. theyarket balancing initiated with the opec deal was aimed at achieving that. clearly, we're not at those levels. tom: why is that? rain newton-smith: the market -- miswin mahesh: the market is not as weak at what the financial markets are looking at. -- it is as it should be at a price level where we are at the moment, for instance. in terms of ample balance orilable, it is not as much as large as it was a few months

ago. ce.: defined your patien we don't know their level of patients at $45 a barrel. when does the patience run out? miswin mahesh: the july meeting will be crucial because of that is when they are monitoring the members and some of the compliance. we might all to -- also see nigeria in libya. might also see headlines from nigeria and libya. in terms of what they could do to balance the market, there is still a big opportunity. might also see headlines from nigeria and libya. we cannot throw it out completely in terms of what they can do in balancing and building up the process. at the moment, as they are waiting and watching and have

done something already in terms of how it plays out. it does take time for it to feed into the market. and sending sentiment in reverse inventoriesterms of in actual exploit numbers. guy: thank you. miswin mahesh, oil analyst joining us down the line. thoughts? >> i see one of the crucial aspects which we have not discussed is what is the break even of the show producers? put on a note suggesting above 48 and a lot more supply. and the state of oklahoma, texas, you see much higher than initially estimated. between libya and nigeria and the u.s., you made up about 70%-80% of the cuts of assuming they will hold in the exports will decline. if we see it to does not roll

over from march 2018, you will see the market being oversupplied and into 2019. i think there is a certain feeling -- ceiling of how high the oil price can go. i think much greater production from the u.s. and nigeria. i think the usp's has -- u.s. peace, it is the change variable and i think above 48 -- guy: what is that 40 a number? bhanu baweja: closer to 42 and that is technology. that is what we are not taking into account. i think that number will be much lower and its limits how high oil can go. china consumption, these are huge demand and doing quite well right now. electric vehicles is a 10 year story on oil. over the next few years, the

most important area will be marginal cost of production of and it has been coming down a you will see much higher supply and as low as 20. in a year's time, it will be lower. tom: next up, bruce kasman. bloomberg businessweek with a relaunch by megan murphy. i cannot tell you about our new issue. it is under secret route. there is the old issue. -- it is under secret route. -- it is under secret wrap. it has a celebrity. ♪

there have been ups and downs and movements in crude oil. that plays a role in positive sentiment but the broad range rally we are seeing, qatar is up over 2% and the same applies to other parts of the region. these are whispers that there is confidence that maybe rex tillerson, the man that all of the hopes have been pinned down to can yield tangible results in puts of currency wars and up the chart. tom: when i look at the this, all i can think about is a fear of terror. identify for our global audience what the royal family of saudi arabia is afraid of. what is their fear when they look at the affairs of qatar? as much as they say it is about terrorism and make an argument

to be made, the reality is there is another element, an element of fears of influence of a global voice and a saudi's have never been very happy that qatar has pushed far above their weight in terms of global capital markets and global politics, financing. they want the qataris to be under the same umbrella as the saudi's and the rest of the region to be a unified force. they do not like there is a wealthy neighbor doing their own thing. that is what is most about than terrorism. guy: great stuff. yousef gamal el-din. what is this about and how does it gets resolved? bhanu baweja: i don't think it gets resolved in a hurry. it is about qatar's foreign policy, especially that -- >> is it about anything else?

want to interrupt your guy, i think this is important. bhanu, continue on foreign policy. it is about terrorism and the politics of the region, isn't it? bhanu baweja: it is. how qatar have supported some political islamic movements across the entire region and how qatar has gotten closer to iran. if you look at the list of 13 domestic the eu, or the gcc alliance has made him a it is very difficult for qatar to give in without saying my for policy is what saudi wants to do. i think that is why it will be extended. qatar is not the biggest oil producer. qatar's on economy is what it matters for and qatar's banks. i do not think we are likely to see any other decency currencies. -- gcc currencies.

ass becomes more interesting the involvement of iran becomes more prominent within what is happening within saudi and the rest of the bloc. and eu on one side and qatar is getting closer to iran and maybe forcing qatar closer to iran through putting this pressure. guy: in oil prices continue to decline, can we expect the region to be more tents? if you are saudi arabia and you have an oil price of $20 a barrel, you have a real problem. bhanu baweja: you certainly do. regimes have ramped up expenditures to bring back revenues are collapsing. this will be a major fiscal problem for all of these oil producers, including qatar and saudi. i do not believe it will be a currency problem. i would not be buying that

dollar call just yet stop even qatar -- yet. -- even qatar has billions of assets abroad, this will be played locally instead of the middle east. valuable is extremely what you are talking about. where does the united kingdom and where does the united states really fit in? i do not buy that shuttle diplomacy will get this done. where does britain and the united states sit in? bhanu baweja: i think rex tillerson will find that his troops to the middle east -- that his trip to the middle east will be less fruitful than when he was an oil man. the region is becoming more internally in a mashed. -- in a mashed -- internally enmeshed. tillerson is not the mediator. the mediator is still kuwait.

it has to be dealt with internally. i do not think they will be with to make a dent. the lines are being drawn. the mainline between saudi and iran and that is what this is about. the u.s.believe administration has a clear view on how they wanted to proceed and as a result, the same process will last some time. tom: bhanu baweja will stay joining us from ubs. a function on your tv that you can watch and all of our shows, tv and access the radio with you. a fantastic sidebar that provides you with the data and charts. break them out and asked a guess a question. open up an ib channel. bloomberg oh. this is bloomberg. ♪ -- bloomberg oh. -- this is bloomberg. ♪

that right now. speaking of the u.k., the markets have priced in for one rate hike. i think if we do that a rate hike, it is difficult to see that as the beginning of the cycle and it would be one rate hike and then nothing which is what the markets price for. i find it interesting that despite a does repricing on the front end and the u.k., sterling has now strengthened -- despite a repricing on the front end in the u.k., sterling has now strengthened. they have priced in the rate hike. they agree with the boe that hikes are going up. i think it's because the market's position is not quite as short in the market sees there is midterm challenges. real wages are declining by less than you think. also because credit impulses has

been so positive and held up because of credit going up. take that away and economy will clearly, down. to go back to commanding heights and lack of wage growth and pre-world war ii era, is that where we are now? is a good, bad or lousy wage growth? which way for the politicians? bhanu baweja: it would be more about fiscal policy and at this moment, we do not expect fiscal policy much. it is the monetary policy lever we are concerned about. given nominal wages have not grown and consumer demand has been held up by an increase in consumer credit and inflation is boee high, as debt did, the would have to look through this as well and probably not hike more than once. that says the sterling will come

gdp, whata sub 3% does it do to the policymakers who need to get reelected? bruce kasman -- libby cantrill: you would like to think it would put more urgency to help accelerate the sense of urgency. however, they are trying to do really difficult things. however care is complex, tax reform is even more complex. more winners and losers and you see the lobbyists and special interests coming out of the woodwork. while you would like to them it would put on pressure on policymakers to advance progrowth legislation, i think what other are doing is really difficult. regardless of what is happening in the economy, it does not change the fact. it will beg about hard to get any of it done by the midterm, would you agree?

do we get anything done and the second half? libby cantrill: what dan was saying, these aims are inherently difficult are made that much more difficult by the -- destruction of the russia investigation and the president's pretty low approval rating. whether things get done before the midterm is too early to say. however, our review at pimco even if we do see action on tax reform, it will be a lot smaller, a lot less bold and probably longer needed that some segments had expected. tom: let's come back with libby cantrill and bruce kasman. this is bloomberg. ♪ these days families want to be connected 24/7.

working on the chart, let's bring up a chart i made. this is guy johnson's chart on real wages in the united kingdom. the red circle is brexit. marcus, i believe real wages have plummeted since june 23 of last year. climbu link real wage to to the advent of the brexit initiative? >> i think certainly, you can link the decline to the poor performance of the conservative party. something we pick up on is the the 5.5t people are, of million public-sector employees being capped at 1%, i think this lack of real wages kicking up with inflation, which is clearly going in the head is a sore political point. tom: bruce kazin, you know this as well, mr. diamond speaking in paris. here is wages, bruce kasman.

are we going to see negative real wages in the u.s. and france and other places besides the u.k.? bruce kasman: i think the u.k. is a special place. it is clearly connected because it is largely driven by the fact of the currency weakness that came through and the spike we see in inflation. household or beings squeezed and u.k. growth is going to be week. the story elsewhere is different. you have limited upward pressure on wages, modest pickup inflation but good growth. if you look at the payroll number out of the u.s. last friday, you did not have much wage inflation but you had strong hours and strong jobs and strong labor income being generated so in the u.s. and western europe and even in japan, the story is very different and more positive for households. guy: the market is pricing in one rate hike from the u.k. this year. the bank is going to deliver a rate hike. do you see that happening

considering the backdrop? >> i don't see how they can hike rates. it is ridiculous to even have a conversation. i think they are going to do these things on credit control. that is what they do with the financial policy. guy: does it puts the pound up? wouldn't that be one day of dealing with the inflationary story? >> it will go away in a few months time. it is the base effect. tom: thank you so much. great briefing there. this is going to be a theme through the year. looking forward to this, libby cantrill on the deficit. we will do that with libby cantrill of pimco and bruce kasman on reflation. let me remind you of bloomberg businessweek, the relaunch and redo. i can't tell you about the new issue. it is hermetically sealed in a floor below our world headquarters here on lexington avenue. we have a financial celebrity front and center. bloomberg businessweek. don't miss it.

discussion point because the rest of the world is repricing. in europe, you see it clearly. you see it in canada. is the market getting ahead of itself? this chart suggests maybe it is. this is the risk reversal skew on the one-week-one months. the cat has gained massively of late, signaling it is not quite so convinced. is front-end of the curve being priced significantly differently elsewhere in the world. my question is are we getting ahead of ourselves? tom: that is where we go in our first list with the united states in canada. with his right now is bruce kasman of jpmorgan and libby cantrill from pimco. i was floored by your reflation same. this brought tears to my eyes. i did this to impress him. this is global inflation back in

1969. back to nixon where there was a massive reflation and then down we go with the great moderation. the financial crisis, we've got a period of global inflation. bruce kasman: i think it is done. we are not going to have inflation but we are seeing some very powerful disinflationary drags around 14 and 15 and 16. we have a lot of noise in the energy space. core inflation has been stable. it came off a little bit in the last three months. locally, it hasn't moved. when you're going to see if we are right is strong growth. tolation consolidates back 2013 and that is going to be good for corporate income, rebalancing growth between dm and em and it is a positive environment. tom: that's that to this level for those keepin score at home.

we parse service sector in this producing inflation. can better reflation help the beleaguered commodity nations? bruce kasman: definitely. what you have been seeing in the last year is the significant rebound imposing growth, and in terms of trade. haveally those companies macro imbalances. canada is a beneficiary of it. other reduces of commodities have been beneficiaries and we are seeing in growth numbers, and we will see it in the market. tom: do we have a trade policy of any type forward that will help us enjoy this global new. libby cantrill: the trade policy of this administration has not necessarily been entirely coherent in terms of reconciling some of the more protectionist things that president trump has said on the campaign trail with actual action. paper,e navarro ross

they said, i love it. are we still doing zero-sum deal mercantilists? libby cantrill: well, it remains to be seen. there is a big divide among the advisors. there is the ross camp and also the steve mnuchin camp which is more dramatic -- pragmatic on trade in terms of our policy. however, onee, area the president has in terms of policymaking and unilateral ability is over trade. if he is isolated on the legislative front and he can't get points on the board in terms of legislation, he might pivot to trade in terms of just winning political points. >> bruce kasman: bruce bruce kasman:, is the dollar going to play a role going forward? >> we've heard the criticisms in europe and the united states apparently has a problem with germany, benefits of a cheap euro, etc. what role of the dollar

perform? bruce kasman: the dollar plays a role in the sense that it impacts on our trade performance. it is also a signal. when you are seeing in the dollar is a sign that the u.s. is at the center where growth is in the world and i think we are seeing the dollar go down as a result of that. it is important to keep that in mind. with what the fed is going to tell us today and where it is going forward. i agree this administration wants a weaker dollar with mercantilists. the administration has a limited tool short of putting it in the fed chair that can deliver that monetary policy outcome. guy: do you think gary cohn would do that? bruce kasman: i have no idea what gary cohn would do as a central banker. i think right now the issue on the fed is that you have someone who is experienced, someone who someone whont, and is consistent with the fed's goals and i think answering the

questions about gary cohn are hard to do. is that financial market experience but he has no experience in monetary policy. guy: is the u.s. comfortable politically with a cheap dollar? libby cantrill: again, i don't know if we have had a coherent policy on the dollar. the previous administration has at least said that they support a strong dollar. this administration has a predicated a little bit more so it is one of the areas where there hasn't been a lot of coherence. secretary mnuchin has implied he supports a stronger dollar but it hasn't necessarily been a unified one. tom: i want to go to libby cantrill. in bruce kasman's world. do republicans want a nonmonetary phd? do they agree with the trump religion? war's, randy quarrels, mr.

cohen, and others. are they on board with that? libby cantrill: all of those candidates would have no problem getting senate confirmation. tom: but where is the phd kennedy? -- where's the phd going to be? libby cantrill: monetary policy matters a lot but the fed chair also oversees the regulatory regime of the banking system. what a lot of republicans on the hill want to see is a rollback. when league 04 standard deviations, who is going to be there? libby cantrill: i think people have a lot of confidence in gary cohn on the hill. he has proven himself. tom: when we go for standard deviation, libya's rights, i think you are right, but when we go three for standard deviation, what if it blows up on something we can't predict? they don't have the isl in curve. bruce kasman: i would emphasize, it is not just about having trending, which is important,

and certainly i am a little bit disappointed that phd's and experience in economics is not being really given any confidence. tom: libby doesn't care. >> [laughter] bruce kasman: it is also that experience. if you go back to paul walter, line we have in fed chairs is people who have experience in monetary policy. it is the combination of training and experience and acceptance of the fed in terms of institutional goals that matter. tom: i just got any mail that said "don't interrupt libby cantrill." let's look at tv . tv , you can watch it as you are following. there she is, beautiful as always, and you can go over here and pull up a chart that will bring tears to your eyes and then you can steal the chart over to your bloomberg terminal. even libby can do that. in washington, this is bloomberg. ♪

them to pause. i think that is it for us. >> and it is which is the moving parts and how do they figure that one out? situation are in a where we try to do this and the rest of the world is watching, do you think it is different for every central bank? we are going to a conversation at some point of how it gets out of its position that it will find itself. further down the road, it will be the boj. do you think the fed model will be the model for the rest of the world? bruce kasman: generally speaking, the idea that you first stabilize the balance sheet and then you begin to raise rates, and then you let a more active balance sheet unwind and take place. that is going to be the policy. i think the ecb and the fat are similar in that they have concerns about inflation. but they are both going to move on the balance sheet to balance the tapering as long as growth is solid. we think that is going to be the case.
