francine: america first. and non-opecopec members gather in st. petersburg. the market needs more oil output than nigeria and libya. bank had its best term ever. lizette the 10th of the european banking season? -- will this set the tone for the european banking season.
4:01 am
we are getting figures out of the eurozone. the euro is growing at the slowest pace in six months. the figures disappointed on every count. manufacturing, 66.8. anything above 50 still indicates expansion, but it is lower than what we were expecting. 56.8 and seductive be 7.2. is stillsite overall off. the euro-dollar 1.1640. this brings us to the rest of your data. we have two of our favorite guests on, especially paul donovan. we get his take on the imf. overall, the stocks are mixed. on wednesday we have the federal reserve rate decision. all remaining below $46 per barrel. that is before the opec meeting.
4:02 am
now let's get straight to the bloomberg first word news. the u.k. trade secretary will meet his u.s. counterpart to repair down for a transatlantic trade deal as soon as possible after brexit. talks will be held before meeting members of congress during a two day trip. >> it will be a difficult discussion. we have got great support from the united states and the administration, as well as congress, to push the agenda forward. reporter: limiting oil output from nigeria and libya will not be on the agenda when opec and nonmembers may in st. petersburg today. -- meet in st. petersburg today. they will need to keep pumping at a higher level until they join the global effort to stem the supply glut. the trump administration supports the bill to sanction russia. boss huckabee sanders'
4:03 am
would not guarantee that donald trump would sign it. >> he is not made a decision yet to sign that bill. when you make that decision, i will side with him. i am his medications director and his advocate. reporter: in poland, mass protests have continued across the country after parliament passed legislation, giving the leading party more control over the judiciary. the president was urged to veto the legislation, which they say is a threat to poland's democracy. global news 24 hours a day, powered by 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries around the world. this is bloomberg. francine: it is no longer a case of america first, as far as the imf is concerned. they said the world is relying less on the united states to sustain the global recovery of eurozone play
4:04 am
more prominent roles. we get a rate decision from the fed this week. traders are watching for clues that the fed will ease up on the tightening path. the largest impediment for staying on track for three rate hikes is the core consumer price index, whose growth rate has struck the lowest level since 2015. let's bring in paul donovan and viraj patel. thank you for joining us. what will underpin your forecasts, paul? is it the fed? or do you rely on the imf forecasts as well? >> we do not rely on the imf forecasts, they are typically six to eight months behind the market. this is old news. focus for thee
4:05 am
near-term, and a little bit beyond. the unusual thing about the federal reserve, with the indications they have been giving is the passive quantitative policy tightening, the scaling back of the bond holdings is a program which is a commitment for multiple years. they are pre-committing to policy several years in advance. that is very unusual, but i think will be significant for markets in shipping expectations about where we are headed. francine: on the fed, you say it is their job to communicate longer-term incentives without giving investors too much of a panic on a day-to-day basis. >> absolutely. the fed is trying to influence where the economy is going in 2019, not today. they are trying to consider were inflation will be in 2019. you have inflation which is not far off of its long-term averages. we're hovering around the 20 year average, including on the core pc deflator.
4:06 am
monthso nothing, in 18 time, we will have a problem. we need to start tightening, but not aggressively, but let's do additional tightening on the quantitative side and the monetary side. francine: how much tightening from the fed are you expecting this year? >> we are expecting one more rate hike this year, potentially december. we are looking for the fed potential this week to insert the clause that they will be starting on the balance sheet relatively sent. markets are well priced for this. they are 50-50 over the december rate hike. we think the could get some uplift this weekk. francine: paul, is the risk that they act too quickly or too late? >> at this point, it is that they act too late. real fed funds have not budged in two years. the rise inflation has offset the monetary tightening. there has been quantitative
4:07 am
tightening. the balance sheet have gone through organic tightening, but it is limited in terms of what has haven't. -- what has happened. we have clear evidence of wage pressures coming through. i'm not saying you will get runaway inflation, but the risk is that over the next two years inflation comes in on the upside. francine: they point to inflation as being one of the reasons they have not done what they promised in the last couple quarters. at the same time, raj, how do they look at this observance surrounding the trump administration? -- how do they look at the concerns surrounding the trump administration? >> it will be difficult for them to explicitly .2 a certain risk on the political scene -- for them to explicitly point to a certain risk on the political scene. up quite wellg
4:08 am
in terms of easing financial conditions, but the fed will be concerned that the u.s. 10 year yield is trading much lower than it was, despite two rate hikes. that is another argument to start the balance sheet process sooner rather than later. >> one of the issues the fed will not be too worried about is the impact on normal people. we're not seeing a collapse in consumer confidence. the consumer is not really reacting. that is because normal people aren't like us. we get obsessed about politics. we watch our bloomberg terminals all the time for the latest thing. normal people read one newspaper, maybe, and that's it. they don't have the same focus on politics. basically, as long as they have got a job and can afford to buy what they want to buy, they are happy. francine: you are right when it
4:09 am
comes to consumer confidence. let me bring you over to my balance sheet for the fed. it shows you the sheer magnitude the concern could have on the markets. if you are a ceo, you do look at the terminals on a daily basis. the ceo's don't have these spirits. where does this leave u.s. growth? >> the ceo's are running large companies and i don't care about large companies because they are only about 30% to 40% of the overall economy. themom and pops are backbone of the economy and it is the engine of growth in the u.s. the large companies, the ebbing and flowing, that masses to the equity market. francine: is that not where wage growth comes through? >> the wage growth we are now looking for is coming through from the smaller businesses. uys thate the g
4:10 am
everything will they are saying, we are finding it difficult to find staff. these are the guys who are hiring lower skilled workers because they cannot get the workers they need. they are driving the medium-term income story. francine: we are getting breaking news out of the saudi oil minister. he says there have been reported cuts, but they have not been matched by the exports. i think he is trying to say that opec has done their job, russia as well. i want to remind our viewers and listeners that there is a huge opec meeting in st. petersburg at the moment. what we understand is that limiting oil output from nigeria and libya do not seem to be on the agenda when opec and other producers me today. al-falih also says there is a buildup in oil industries, but that seems to be reversing. the oil inventories are only 215 million barrels above the
4:11 am
five-year average, pointing to the fact that we think it could rebalance before investors meet. i'm not really seeing this in the share price, to be honest. i guess we see on a willingness for saudi arabia to cut further productions. stay with "surveillance." plenty coming up. the third biggest private bank, coming up next. plus, all eyes on oil. we are live in st. petersburg, where production cuts are under a spotlight for opec and non-opec members. this is bloomberg. ♪ francine: we are just getting
4:12 am
4:13 am
4:14 am
breaking news out of poland. we understand the polish thisident will veto part of judiciary legislation. remember, this follows mass protests against the polish parliament, which was looking into changing some of the supreme court's backed protesters that marched peacefully yesterday. we understand on the back of this veto, that means tightening. we have a longer-term euro chart. the weakness we saw over the last couple days was a little bit of concern on what would happen. we now understand, though we have not heard it from the president himself. plenty to keep an eye -- we need to keep an eye on what he'll s ay. we understand the president will veto part of this legislation. is this comparable to what we are seeing in europe?
4:15 am
part of this go back to the geopolitics? -- or does this go back to the geopolitics. >> what we have got is like what we have in russia or with abe in japan. people are regarding this as political noise in the background. the political issues we have here, which could potentially damage relations between poland and the rest of the eu and great complications there, that matters for the longer-term, for trend growth, but it does not matter in the shorter term. economic activity can carry on in the short-term regardless, as we saw after the u.k. vote. the markets are focused on the economy and this is noise. the one area where the noise theps in a bit is investment markets. that is because international investors hold off a bit, treating noise in the currency
4:16 am
markets. -- creating noise in the currency markets. francine: now, let's get straight to the bloomberg first word news. reporter: manus: bmw has denied that german automakers refused to install the emissions standards. link on thes a prices of crucial technology, the first attempt at damage control since the european commission said it is investigating illegal collusion. innair reported a 55% gain first-quarter profits, 397 million euros, beating estimates. however, pricing will be very competitive through the remainder of the fiscal year. phillips has reported a 15% rise in the second quarter profit
4:17 am
amid strong performance in western europe, north america, and china. they also said the plan to buy back 1.5 billion euros of shares starts in the first quarter. that is the bloomberg business flash. hascine: julius baer surpassed its target. it set the tone for the european banker. manus cranny has been speaking boris julius baer ceo, collardi. >> i think this was our best half year ever. net income is above the target range, exceeding our expectations. that is on the back of 30 good momentum on -- of their he good hirin -- of very good momentum on hiring. francine: it doesn't seem they have had some strong inflows,
4:18 am
especially in the regions where they hired more private bankers. >> asia and monaco did very well for them. you saw 700 million swiss francs added on the open. the promise to the market was, i will grow 46%. when it comes to the momentum in the marketplace, there was a rallying cry, and it went up. it was equities. k in thelients are bac markets. we are hearing bids from central banks. it bodes well for banking and client activities. we should see clients in the market. an indicatione clients are ready for more volatility? >> absolutely.
4:19 am
volatility has been historically too low. people were worried for a while that volatility was not there. this is one of the many indicators. the main one is the market sentiment. everywhere, clients are getting positive, on average, more than what we have seen in the past. manus: they are getting more positive. is that just on the likes of equities? are they looking across the asset classes? where is the most prevalent interest? >> in equities. at fixed income, they are looking. our position in fixed income is huge in the market. they are looking at performance on the fringes of the market, all the way to private equity. manus: let's hope those rallies continue. of course, it is about getting those private clients to move from cash, which is still too
4:20 am
high. i will hist my cost-income ratio next year. for now, the market handsomely rewarding collardi. francine: what did he say about client activity, manus? this is a great first half for them. the client's activity was subdued. that is because they can get new money in, right? manus: yes. by the way the strategy they have employed at julius baer is organic growth. we have ubs and credit suisse at the end of the weekk. -- of the week. ,t will be much more aggressive offering it to the uber rich of this world. will credit suisse take away from some of the good work that collardi has done? china is still incredibly
4:21 am
important to this story. and we have the conversation on brexit as well. francine: i'm looking forward to hearing that. manus, thanks. dhe oil market will bnee more crude from libya and nigeria. spec and non-opec member are meeting in think petersburg. we also had headlines from the saudi oil minister. .et's get more from javier blas still with us is viraj patel and paul donovan. javier, thanks for joining us. what should i be looking out for today? >> we are looking at two things. one, and a question we have had has already been answered by the saudi oil minister. anding at whether opec non-opec producers were
4:22 am
discussing deeper production cuts now. and al-falih said there was no discussion whatsoever. the other question is what opec will do with libya and nigeria, the two countries that are outside the deal. the production is increasing dramatically. and so far, what seems to happen is that opec will take a wait and see approach with both countries. they need to continue to produce at high levels for a few more months before opec can include them into the production cuts. here's why the market is taking a negative reaction with brent down 0.5%. francine: first of all, it seems to suggest the oil minister of saudi arabia believes there will be a rebalancing of the price of oil because of inventories. if they want to get back control of the price of oil, do they have to cut more production? >> he is right that the market is rebalancing, that inventories are coming down. we have seen that in the u.s.
4:23 am
that has been happening this summer because refineries are running very high. the key problem for the saudi minister is the oil market today is looking ahead. it is looking very well into 2018, what is going to happen. there is when you see the market is not rebalancing and if opec was to continue producing at cover levels, 50 million barrels a day, then we have inventory for 2018. francine: anything short of full production cuts, will the market be disappointed? >> i think the market will be disappointed if opec does not signal it is prepared to do more. they need to send a signal that they are considering deepening the production cuts. so far, opec is not even sending that signal. francine: we are back with paul donovan and viraj patel. what do you make of the price of
4:24 am
oil? it is quite difficult to guess whether it breaks to the range we have seen so far. >> there is probably some upside within the range. we are not looking specifically for dramatically higher oi.l pri ces, but moving to the top of the range around $55 per barrel. that is feasible in the latter part of this year. as we see the demand continuing -- and we had good growth coming out of the u.s., one of the least efficient oil consumers in the developed world, pretty good growth coming out of china, one of the least efficient consumers in the emerging world -- it gives us upside into the second half of this year. francine: raj? >> there is this idea that there is the structural breakdown in the correlation between oil movement and petrol currencies. you need to see a topside breakup for it to be a catalyst. equally, the focus for global
4:25 am
economies is elsewhere. we need the proxy trade right now. the other currencies are not showing the sensitivity. francine: i grew up being told that if the price of oil goes down, it would mean that consumers spend more. so, it is beneficial for the economy. we have not seen that. >> part of the issue is the relationship between oil and the economy is not what it was. because we have periods of high oil prices, people become energy-efficient. 10 years ago, people would purchase a new energy-efficient boiler for my house. now, i would not go back and repurchase my old boiler. price has become less of a factor for the consumer. the other thing to keep in mind,
4:26 am
the lowering of consumers are far more exposed to oil. more of the budget goes to energy, in all of its forms. this could be something that helps lower income consumers overtime. that lower income consumers tend to be less important to overall consumer spending than our television producers, should we say. francine: that is probably wrong. thank you. up next, the u.k. trade secretary is in the u.s. for what he calls difficult discussions. can the two sides soften the brexit blow? this is bloomberg. ♪ these days families want to be connected 24/7.

5:09 am
dollar? dollar iseans u.s. going to stay under selling pressure. that into aput broader context. we are talking about political instability in the united states. it is about the inability of this administration to stay with its promise. the promise was they would increase the growth potential of -- u.s. economy the top was economy. the talk was 3%. the deregulation of the financial sector according to when youy strategist, have any combination between deregulation but you do not increase the growth potential of
5:10 am
your own economy, that means the financial sector is going to become an exporter of capital. that is effectively happening. financial sector. ocean at the same time the growth potential of the economy is not lifted. what that means for the u.s. dollar outlook, as long as you have this imbalance in place, you have the dollar staying under selling pressure. the next step must be an increase in the growth outlook of the united states and the economy. francine: what can the president do at the moment to increase gdp for the u.s.? hans: at the moment he is distracted by the investigation by mueller. if you were to have credible tax reform, it would make a significant difference. he has to acknowledge that in the united states we have rarely seen in non-recessionary times
5:11 am
so sure decline in the capital stock as we have in the last four years. the ratio between capital and labor is very low. that means it does not take a lot to get going in the united states. going in theex united states. ot to dive into this morning. thanks for being with us. this is the election chart. this is the trump election. up we go with the dollar strength. for those of you on radio, it is a persistent decline on dollar. we are below where we were on november 8 of last year. is the dollar nothing more than a yield curve proxy? is it correlate the directly with what we are seeing on rates and inflation expectations?

dollar the drive certainly increased. people are trading much more the outlook. the fits perfectly into analysis i mentioned before. the is as long as you have financial sector looking for business opportunity but not finding it in the united states, you see that exporting. the guidance of that is provided that the financial sector does believe the yield curve is giving guidance concerning the outlook of the u.s. economy, therefore that relationship. redeker with us from morgan stanley. we will be focusing up until the fed meeting on currency dynamics of the global system. scarlet fu leading our coverage.

5:19 am
this was released in their annual report. i think any central banker or analyst that reads 150 pages, we have to acknowledge there is a new way of thinking in town. this new way of thinking is when you have too much of financial condition improvement, you store up future deflationary pressures. you don't want to end up liking the nasdaq bubble or subprime anotherhat produced deflationary shocker into the system. you try to avoid that. you are leaning against that. that doesn't mean you are breaking financial conditions. you get a situation where the fed is delivering according to the dots but at the same time risk remaining supportive. tom: these nuances of language

we have a name for an elected leader outside the law, dictator. the courts would simply ruled that the pardon was ineffectual. have we jumped the shark of watergate? i know that is a loaded question, but did we move on this weekend to something new? kevin: i think in terms of the timetable that washington has accepted the fact for quite some time that this is going to be a storyline in developments of such a are going to continue for at least several more months and that it will impact the utilizet's ability to the bully pulpit in terms of how he will be able to respond to things on his legislative agenda. tomorrow night he will be in youngstown, ohio, a blue-collar town and a battleground political state trying to restore some of that message from his campaign rallies. polling suggests the president's

united arab emirates. great to have you here on bloomberg surveillance. do you believe opec will need to cut production in 2018 again? >> i think it is premature to talk about cuts prior to seeing the effect of the decision we took two months ago i think we need to monitor the production. we need to an sure that the isort levels of production also part of what we look at as theed and i think expectation for the second quarter from a demand point of be positive, therefore we are expecting to see more market recovery and we stoxxwer -- lowering the
6:15 am
in the next quarter. francine: you are talking about market recovery. wind you think they will recover to $60 a barrel and is that an important psychological level? minister al mazrouei: i think talking about a certain price would be a bit dangerous. is fitting two challenges. some ofhe challenge of the countries are trying to recover their production and were not part of the deal. the second issue is the historical -- the historical storage that we need -- we need to reduce and at the same time, some of the production is coming back. is toe try to do in opec cut the production to allow the market recovery to become faster. long -- i think it would
6:16 am
drag us into 2018 definitely? . is it going to be the first quarter or second half of 2018? we need to monitor that with those two parameters. we need to see more stocks need to see, at the same time, some control of the production from some of those countries which were not part of the deal. francine: are you talking about , do and to put it bluntly you believe at some point you will have to have a frank conversation about iraq -- with iraq about complying? minister al mazrouei: i think all the countries which are not complying, we need -- the committee is having that serious discussion with them regarding that and they are sending them letters of compliance. i am talking about primarily the countries that were not part of the deal, such as nigeria and
6:17 am
libya for the special status of those two countries, they have status anda special i think they have reached -- increased production at the same of athat we need to think mechanism of how we control data production from those -- daily production from those two countries. tom: to go back to your work at the university of tulsa years ago in petroleum engineering, has the technology caught up with opec? is the basic blunt simple rule that the technology has changed so much particularly within supply dynamics that the rules have changed? minister al mazrouei: i think the technology is helping all of us. -- to allf production
6:18 am
the producers. we have producers in the shale oil and producers at the conventional oil. i think we need all kinds of production. what we need is the right price for everyone. that price, the market will make it. opec -- at opec, we are not trying to reach a certain price that makes more money. if that price is not the right price for producers like shale and the unconventional and other sorts of production. we are benefiting from that, but we have also called lots of industries in the past few years, especially the services. we have seen some of the -- some companies losing jobs and that was not
6:19 am
healthy. tom: are you -- francine: are you absolutely convinced that cutting output was the right decision last year? if you look at it, you haven't really helped price recover and you kind of helped u.s. shale producers. minister al mazrouei: i think -- i would disagree with that. first of all, if you look at the average price of 2016, it was around $43. far, if youprice so take the first half of the year since we made the deal is at least $50 of rent. if you compare those two, you will see obvious the we have helped the market recovery and we have reduced around 90 million or more from the level high stocks. it is working. it is working fast enough -- is it working fast enough? no. i think it will need a little more time.
6:20 am
that's why we pushed the deal for more than 6 months to the first quarter. it looks like we may need to consider as well, expanding, expanding that time horizon, but that is a decision that is going to be discussed probably in our next meeting in november. francine: very interesting, the fact you may have to discuss the extension of production cuts. minister, thank you so much, great insight and very clear .iews from the energy minister we are still hearing from the saudi oil minister saying opec and not opec, there will be a new joint committee to consider monitoring crude exports from producing nations along with export figures. it's clear from the oil minister of the uae. he says they have done well and the market will start rebalancing. right at the end it was
6:21 am
significant when he said the one thing they can look at is extending the time frame for production cuts. that was significant. tom: very good. joining us in new york is caleb henderson. for years with standard chartered bank, truly expert on the pacific rim. global market research for eurasia. more importantly, has a perspective on pacific rim dynamics second to none and joins us on our new york set this morning. >> good morning, tom. tom: we seem to be adrift. we have all the washington politics going on and it feels like asia is almost slipping away. if you look at weaker dollar and the political economics and the dynamics of pacific rim. you are one of the generations' great watchers of this. should we be concerned asia is slipping away from the united states of america? >> the political and economic dynamics between the west and the so-called developed markets and developing markets have fundamentally changed throughout
6:22 am
the last year or so. you have had political risk and eventual risk coming out of the developed markets weather in the u.s. or in europe, where as some of these so-called emerging markets now seem on a relative basis, safe payments -- safe havens. that's a different dynamic. tom: we talk about stability with the fed and taper tantrum's and unwinding of balance sheets, is there stability within the financial system of the pacific rim and stability with market indicators of that system? callum: there is much greater stability within the financial system from the point of view of relative years ago during the asian crisis. it did not have this massive that the u.s., u.k., or europe had. could it be impacted by a developed market crisis?

6:25 am
market side from our point of view. francine: a crucial question i imagine when you look at politics, when you look at what tom calls pacific rim and what i call may be tensions in north korea, what will -- when will that translate into market nervousness? callum: that is a great question. north korea is a huge potential risk for financial markets. the problem for investors is how do you price it in? if south korea is the second or within thest weight emerging-market equity index and the korean stock market is also going up, have you hedge> how do you price in that risk? perhaps your mandated will not allow hedging or if you are a hedge fund, you could go short, but timing has to be everything. in the absence of perfect timing, most investors simply either sought to ignore the issue and keep to a benchmark weight or to go with the flow, which is that korean stocks have

2018 -- 17 -- 2017 and 2018. you can still do tax reform and i think there is a lot of will to do that. at the same time, you are going to have very different sorts of parameters and the big question is going to be, to us is going to be how much in deficit do you actually want to go? tom: i look at that and that is where i wanted to go, the deficit. the cbo score tax reform like they does cbo score tax reform like they scored trumpcare? terry: the question is what kind of score they will use and the subsidiary question is whose score will they use? will they use the congressional budget office static score or a dynamic score, which is more likely particularly in the house . they are not constrained to use a cbo score. they could use a's or from some of the --a score from some of the else. francine: you don't think tax

reform is that in the water, but you think the odds of tax reform is down to 50%? hints at a path forward, look under hints are there? terry: thank you for that. two things, one is we have tax reform odds at 50% today. i realized that doesn't sound like the call. parts.re two component we think you need a fiscal 2018 budget first great if that happens, tax reform is 70% like he. even though we are 50%, think we are marginal -- marginally odds-on today. fundamentally what you need is some really good idea of where the economic growth is going to come from and what form it takes. what they are talking about now deficit neutral tax reform which does give them a path forward on this. tom: terry haines, thank you so much. on policy, how quaint was that,

growth, all of those are focused .n the g10 it's not just in the emerging markets that we have economic or political risk. francine: the emerging markets seem to be decoupling from oil? what are they focusing on, is it all back to fed? callum: one of the main drivers this year has been carry. just as tax reform has failed, health care reform has failed, so there hasn't been a huge need for the federal reserve to offset a fiscal easing that has never happened and that has been a huge positive for emerging markets. also china, chinese growth has been relatively strong. we expect a modest slowdown in the second half which could take some of the shine off emerging markets. generally speaking, it has been a good risk seeking environment with some select countries you need to stay away from. francine: is one of those -- tom: is one of those he the united kingdom -- one of those the united kingdom?

6:45 am
have seen, this you to flee orderly trend and dollar will walk into an ocean of volatility coming up. why will we see this break into more volatility? callum: we are going to see a lot more volatility in the second half for two reasons. the economic cycle is positive in the first half led by china and also some of the western markets and we are likely to see a modest slowdown. also, we continue to have elements of political risk. a south korea is one of them, but certainly not the only one. those type of flashpoints coupled particularly with a modest downturn in the cycle which makes markets more sensitive to political risk, that is why we see a pickup in volatility. tom: can you predicted the directional on that? dxy orok at the asian the bloomberg dollar index, can you do vector off of increased volatility? callum: volatility is asymmetrically skewed. tom: what is that me?
6:46 am
and ieans flip it over will take it with french fries. what does that mean? callum: -- goes up when the dollar goes up. when volatility goes up, capitals go home and that is why the dollar rallies. the dollar collapses up and when the dollar rallies, you see a higher level of volatility. tom: i look at the volatility and the bounce around in such and that assumption of strong dollar has been crushed that -- crushed. we saw a little bit of strong dollar, but it has been a symmetric. it has been euro dynamic, continental dynamic and back to the pacific rim, i would suggest the pacific rim is the thing to watch. callum: absolutely you are right. strong dollar was very much the consensus and also, in other consensus was the global economy
