4:04 am
i'm nejra cehic. this is bloomberg. francine: thank you so much. catalan separatist leaders signaled they may move towards a unilateral declaration of independence. hundreds of activists were injured on sunday as they sought to stop spanish police from shutting down a referendum. mariano rajoy, the prime minister, has refused to acknowledge the referendum. >> there has been no referendum in catalonia. today, all spaniards have seen that our rule of law is still strong and in force. let's cross now to barcelona, where maria has the latest. the market is responding quite a lot to the vote. remember, we were having a conversation last week, are they -- theyo complacent might have been. this is a big constitutional
4:05 am
crisis. you could argue that it was a double whammy for rajoy. the vote happened, then you get this, which is really bad for the spanish government. they always wanted to keep this contained. now it is a front-page story all over the world. for ramallah, it is a difficult moment. is he going to step down over this? we are hearing he thinks there is no reason to resign. he feels strongly that the constitution has to be upheld. the government backtracking, saying they feel sorry about those images, but saying the catalan police did not really cooperated. they were told to seal off schools, and they didn't. a lot of violence happened in the early hours. francine: what happened next? you are mentioning that this could have huge implications for mariano rajoy.
4:06 am
if catalan leaders declare independence, how should investors view what happens next? >> francine, that is the question. we are going to get a lot of breaking news on that. they are about to meet and there is going to be a presser around mid day. the question is, the regional president thinks it could trigger an independent catalonia. i really don't want to anticipate what could happen, but if there's any hint that he could announce it, you would expect the justice system to step in, and he could be probably dismissed from office if the court deems this is another violation of the constitution. francine: thank you so much. maria on the ground in barcelona. joining us this morning, christian, head of economic research at barclays, and the chairman international at hbs investment partners.
4:07 am
think it took me at the time four years to get you back on the program. first of all, how should investors look at catalonia? on friday.nored today it seems that spreads between german and italian yields are going crazy. >> you have to get used to a bit of volatility. on friday. your colleague in barcelona had some comments. that will take a bit of time. at some point, the catalonian's will decide if they want to vote again. until that happens, that could take several months, it is not going to be dramatically bad. i wouldn't say that is a calamity. francine: we look at the ecb and the fact that they are standing firm. what does it mean for spanish gdp overall? >> catalonia is 1/5 of the
4:08 am
spanish economy, so it is important. so far, i would be of a similar view that europe looks strong right now. we have a global recovery in full swing. in europe, after elections in had italy andou spain cleaning up the bank balance sheet. now we have a situation where europe looks quite good with regard to growth. farourse we have to see how this expands, but this will be something more seriously fundamental. francine: far this you were saying that when you look at the spanish bonds, they are falling a touch. let me bring you over to my chart. you see the spanish bonds compared to the catalonian
4:09 am
bonds. we will push it out on social media. any value? any value in european bonds at the moment? >> sure. this is a remnant of the recession, 2008. you could argue that the central bank in europe could have reacted faster. you have in equity in europe. you see that in the german election, the catalonian failed independence vote. tightening, any tapering will have to be minor. if spreads blow out a little bit, widen a bit, -- francine: this is what we are looking at between the spanish and italian 10-year yields. how should we view the german election, that wolfgang schaeuble resigned to make place for someone else hardly because of this new coalition be informed, and what do you make
4:10 am
of the italian elections? >> until maybe the development of the last few days, we have to reassess how far this can go. until now, we thought the italian elections were the biggest remaining risk in europe. ms. merkel is clearly weakened. it will affect a little bit the sense of these markets and how much germany will be willing to share risk possibly in further integration of the union. on the spanish ministry, i doubt we will see a strong change in policy, because the likely new minister from the free democrats will probably not be that different from shyla when it comes to policy. francine: what would it take for you to buy italian yields, italian bonds? >> italian bonds have rallied quite a bit. i would like a little bit of a spread.
4:11 am
i'm not worried about the italian election. francine: why not? >> italy has created about one million jobs. gdp has risen 1.5%, as opposed to expectations below 1%. we don't know how the coalition is going to be formed. i think that things chug along in italy. there are definitely long-term concerns. yields also move out a bit, i would buy italian bonds as well. francine: do you think that mario draghi wakes up and looks at these yields and tries to process what the catalonian vote in the upcoming elections mean for his policy? >> it is not just the catalonian vote. other people in the ecb have hinted they will be pulling back. you must remember, and i go back
4:12 am
to this, catalonia, german elections, all this is a consequence of tight monetary policy. they took their time to do it. now they've got to take their time to pull back. francine: stay with us. stay with "surveillance." plenty coming up. the u.k. prime minister is heading into the tory party conference fielding questions on why she hasn't fired boris johnson. president trump tells his secretary of state that he's wasting his time seeking negotiations with north korea. we will talk about that situation. this is bloomberg. ♪

the revised markets and financial instrument to directives start january 3. francine: thank you so much. as theresa may's conservative party holds its annual conference, the prime minister has been fielding questions over boris. speaking to the bbc, may said her government backs the approach to brexit that she set out. >> what i have is a cabinet united in the mission of this government, andrew, and that is what you will see this week. united in a mission to build a country that works for everyone, and agreed on the approach we take. francine: still with us, christian from barclays and nikhil srinivasan. christian, let me go to you on brexit. it seems messy. it is part of negotiations. is it more messy than needed?
4:18 am
-- christian: it is unprecedented. they have no reason to really be up front with approaching the u.k. the speech in florence was very important. she touched upon all the issues. she couldn't deliver the details yet that some would have wanted. the reception on the continent was positive. that is a good sign. -- i think it is really people will watch whether her concept has a strong backing by her own party. she must come out of this week as someone who is sure to be the leader for the coming years, and then i think brexit could take a more constructive path than it
4:19 am
has maybe over the last few months. francine: when you revise upwards or downwards, do you look at brexit talks? christian: we look more at brexit talks in the sense that we look at uncertainty and what could happen to investment. we have a u.k. economy that has been much more resilient than people would have thought. is investment is slowing. the boe will be important. they may be hiking. i think if we have an outlook for brexit that signals some kind of uncertainty, that will help the u.k. economy over the medium term. francine: are you a political analyst yet? do you need to be a political analyst to figure out where you put money in the u.k. or the u.s.? nikhil: i think on brexit, christian has all the points right.
4:20 am
it is a complex issue, negotiating brexit. forget that britain had about a 15-year of cycle. just from the cyclical point of view, having a slower u.k. is expected. that doesn't mean it is going to collapse. they just expect slower growth. francine: what happens to pound? does it make investments more attractive? nikhil: pound will be in the 1.20 to 1.30 range. i think it stays around here. i think you've got a sterling which is essentially trying to find a base around 1.30. francine: christian, what is your take on -- this is one of my favorite charts. this is u.k. consumer credit. it is something i imagine mark carney is looking at closely. does this chart worry you? christian: it is a chart that is
4:21 am
important. it is behind some of the recent significant changes in the attitude of the bank of england. they do, theyhat highlighted a balance sheet of said they had and said been leveraging. this is why they argued for a rate hike. they believe they are in a situation where households are robust enough that they could withstand some increase in interest rate. i think it is a very important chart and one to follow. , we will seeikes one hike for now. onncine: what is your take euro-pound? nikhil: range bound. like a lot currencies, euro-dollar range bound, euro-sterling range bound.
4:22 am
you've got a period of uncertainty. spain, catalonia, etc. between both things, i think you've got a range bound currency. francine: interesting. i want to talk more about the global outlook. barclays has said u.s. growth remains decent. europe and japan have shown further upside. the ecb is likely to taper further next year. christian, this is your report. what is the most surprising thing in it? it,stian: if you look at how well global growth is synchronized. there's a lot of questions from investorsinvestors who say, sh'e be more cautious? global economy that continues to expand. we get very good data out of europe.
4:23 am
japan has relatively low growth. we see some emerging markets like russia, brazil, coming out of deep recessions. china continues to hold up quite well. this is something we haven't had for 5, 6 years. if you look at equity earnings, they correlate very well with global growth. that is the big story. that is why we continue to be quite constructive. francine: are you positive about world growth? nikhil: this is the first time since 2007 that all economies are showing positive growth. i am very comfortable with growth. francine: how do you feel inflation? i don't know if it is the phillips curve being broken or something more sinister. christian: the second part of the surprise is that inflation stays so muted.
4:24 am
unemployment rates are falling in all the key economies. it does take time. people are coming back into the labor market. fallloyment doesn't because participation rate goes up. i think there is something bigger in the background. that is why phillips curves no longer work. that is something i think central banks have to grapple with. all their models and all the usual actions are based on the phillips curve. francine: i don't know if you worry about inflation. if you look at the most distorted market, it is probably the bond market. gets repriced, it could lead to further correction. nikhil: let's talk about this inflation and fed policy. fed policy is about normalization. i don't think they care as much about inflation as normalizing
4:25 am
the interest rate. should they care more about inflation? nikhil: if you look at -- all are pointing to more inflation. we haven't seen it in the u.s. we haven't seen it anywhere in the world right now. -- typicalt indicators are up. the feds behavior is about normalizing based on financial stability. fed will continue to gradually increase rates. i think we will get some inflation in germany. it has been going very strong. probably get some everywhere. we are not going to get as much as people want. yields are 2.36 today. where is this going? all yields are high in the next 12 months. francine: thank you so much,
4:26 am
christian. thank you for your time. nikhil srinivasan stays with us. we had great comments from christian as well. we will talk about regulation and china. up next, the hedge fund manager warning of a terrifying mix for markets. we will discuss that next. in the meantime, this is what markets are doing. dollar rising, treasury yields rising. investors contemplating the prospects of u.s. tax hikes, as well as a potentially new and less dovish federal reserve chief. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:39 am
risks are people are like let's continue forward. francine: is it that is impossible to price in trump's next move? nikhil: it is hard to value the level of risk that i am talking about. given there is a lot of liquidity out there. want tothat people continue to do what they are doing and make money. you cannot argue with that right. the biggest risk is complacency because it is not priced in. francine: what will it take to be priced in? is it a snowball effect? nikhil: not terribly. itple have come off of relative to the market. people have to get used to the that the ownership of these stocks remain robust.

4:49 am
not amongst its players. it something we should become worried about for markets? .ikhil: the question is fair i don't think you have to worry about it is a constant something might happen, but the consequence from a policy point is it will have to remain relatively loose it on the monetary side, will have to remain loose as well. tightening cannot happen. if you want the disgruntled to be feeling better off. i don't think any economy in europe can tighten today. or the u.s. no, i think fiscal policy has to remain expansionary. francine: this is why you have talked about normalizing, not tightening. --sident trump and miniature

4:51 am
get inflation, they use another measure. these are comments from people who do not see inflation. francine: would you change the mandates? in if you do change the mandates, what would you be looking at? capital allocation. that is what has been happening. other thing like capital investment has been ignored. you cannot really change the mandate. my point is we were late to normalize and now they have to reach a level of normalization which the market will decide whether it is too high or too low. francine: what will be a game changer for you in the u.s.? is it tax cuts? nikhil: would be a game changer, gdp in the u.s. drops below 1%. it doesn't seem likely.
4:52 am
francine: why would we do that? nikhil: people are not ready for that. people are not ready closer to zero to one. that would surprise people that would show, my god, something is wrong. francine: do you think that is likely? nikhil: i don't see it in the numbers. that is my biggest risk, gdp falling below expectation. francine: but we need to happen for gdp to fall below expectations? nikhil: retail spending falls, oil prices. again, if oil prices go up significant leap -- oil is in a good spot. i don't think we are going to $80. francine: you get them for section plans against the trump administration, does it feel to through -- does it filter through inflation?
4:53 am
nikhil: i prefer tax cuts to infrastructure spending. francine: because of lacking time? nikhil: slippage, all kinds of things. studies have shown that at the structure doesn't rule as much for gdp. i prefer tax cuts. is priced into the market? nikhil: i think it is going to be linked to tax cuts which i think is reasonable. in may become demised to two parties -- in may be compromised to two parties. francine: when you look at the conversation and you talked about emerging markets, is it right to think that your outperformed the u.s.? the gilles: for sure. sure -- nikhil:
4:54 am
for sure. i would rather buy u.s. equities. francine: u.s. is more exposed globally. nikhil: u.s. equities are more i would rather buy u.s.global. i think you are going to have a looser policy directive from the ecb. continued looser policy from europe. well.y has been doing francine: it is europe. should we continue doing that every couple of years? nikhil: commentators in this country and the u.s. have been talking about the end of the experiment for a long time. they have been wrong. they are going to continue to be wrong about the end of the experiment. the question then is, can europe outperform? europe is sometimes its own worst enemy.

arguing about the motives. one thing significant is he said don't trust social media when it comes to these things visit there were reports there were multiple shootings -- multiple shooters and explosions. tom: i would agree with that right now. only thing we can say it was a , thery musical festival music associated with nashville, tennessee. let us move on to the terrific news flow we have and the reaction within the, the music associated market. this begin with a get a check, check, currencies and commodities with the euro weaker, but a risk on feel. the second screen please. 9.60.x, there is the dow. 500.on the s&p
5:04 am
the yields were high earlier. .hat is a higher two-year yield in gold, i don't want to use the word, plunge. it is on the edge of plunging. francine: the dollar rising with the treasury yields as you were saying, contemplating is what today.rs are doing they are looking at the prospect of a tax cut. i am looking at euro retreating in the wake of this vote in today. they are looking at thecataloni. we are seeing a spread between german and italian bonds. german and spanish bonds also go higher. tom: very good. we want to talk about the news for today and begin with what was occurring on thursday and friday. it has been an extraordinary move. an earlier dialogue of thursday and friday on the so they show -- on the sunday show. here's the secretary of the treasury. >> we believe we can get back to
5:05 am
sustained 3% gdp or higher which had -- which adds millions and millions of jobs. that is our focus, so the president wants to get tax reform. we are working with the house and senate and we hope to get something on his desk to sign in december. tom: i cannot convey how odd this news flow was. changed with the debates over puerto rico, nfl football and presidential golf. host this morning, rick lacaille. jim, let me go to you. if we can remove herself from las vegas and we will have more reports on that. .hat an external weekend the lead was the president and secretary of state, in particular with the secretary of state in china and the president
5:06 am
saying his work is not worth it. seen so manyhave norms busted. so many traditional approaches, it is not even -- the president typically would be on the same page as the secretary of state, not seeking to undermine the secretary state. your guesses as good as mine in terms of what is going on, what the president, the commander-in-chief has in mind. i can't speak to that. francine: when you look at every thing that is happening in the u.s. in infrastructure in tax cuts that are investors look at or priced in. do you get a sense that congress would support the president when it comes to tax cuts more than if a structure? jim: there is nothing this republican congress wants more than tax cuts.
5:07 am
pastf the talk in the eight or 10 years about the evils of debt and deficit, that is been thrown out the window. the president and some of his outrageousness has been tolerated all with a single goal of the congress to have a package of tax cuts passed. that trumped everything else, no pun intended. francine: we are happy to have our host, richard mckay. richard: what is real, is earnings growth. there has been this sort of appetite for nostalgia, back to the reagan days, deregulation and like taxation.
5:08 am
it is kept america -- american equities doing well even though they are expensive. tom: i look at this jim and i want to look at the weekend in dictionary sequence of events. do you have any perception that this is a president they can delegate authority on puerto to save theme defense department to go in and do electric grid work on that -- puerto rico? the defense department to go in and do electric grid work on that? jim: no and yes. is so much for example in the tax-cut package that has been left for congress to fill in the blanks to a certain beent that task is delegated to the tax cutting committees.
5:09 am
the president gets ahead of that and sometimes it derails it and sometimes steps on his own stories. and you saw that in puerto rico. -- are he is delegating not delegating, the my new ship of policymaking, they clearly remain at the center of where and how the stories are moving. tom: just because we have you for short time, with your work in paris, jim hertling, and your work in london, i am fascinated debateught the catalonia can spread across europe. discussions.her what are your thoughts? jim: tom, it is a great question and i find it fascinating. you know there have been these independent movements for greater autonomy throughout
5:10 am
europe, whether they are in brussels, scotland. the interesting thing that could happen in catalonia which is happened nor else is an actual just they are talking about a national declaration of independence. that really changes the dynamic and that is what i am most curious to see. francine: rig, are we discounting political risk? i don't know if it comes from the trump administration. complacent -- are markets to complacent? [no audio] richard: i don't think markets have really ignoring those issues. they are priced in generously? no. rates.w real interest there's a lot of cash looking for yields.

set upith mandalay bay at the south end of street. this is something in america that everyone knows. we have all been to las vegas and this is quite something. the video, horrific. a shooting as a country music festival is occurring near mandalay bay. francine. francine: something that we need to keep a close eye on. our prayers go to the family and victims. let's go to another top story and this is catalonia. violent scenes in catalonia where please crackdown on a controversial independence vote at hundreds of activists were which more than 85% of voters asking for independence. police acted proportionally in defense of the law. with us is rick lacaille. we are seeing a little bit of
5:15 am
movement, for example the sustain, the spanish yields compared to catalonia. i wonder whether you're more worried about mariano rajoy's future and the ambulance -- and the imbalance. rick: the banking sector getting better shape but i think spain versus italy had always made spain better. austerity may have caused some of the conditions that have led to this outbreak. will the government stand and create a budget? they are out of the woods but not in the sense of being a great spot. they need to continue the work. francine: we are looking -- euro moved a little bit on the back of it. i don't know what it means for mario draghi. thank you for the great chart which is the spread between
5:16 am
italians bond yields and spanish bond yields. richard: growing better than expected but the prospect of the election next year i think hangs over and the question of whether you are going to have a more difficult political situation and a huge debt. it is kept investors focused on those issues. they are enjoying a cyclical upturn. this is really pricing business as usual. tom: where is populism in europe? all investors have to have a meter on the populism tone of your. europe. we just tone of where do we stand? rick: the best guide is late spring, early summer we had an improving outlook with better election results in the center
5:17 am
in both netherlands and in france. germany was a little bit of an anomaly with afd. i'm not sure that tie is destined that tide is coming in strongly with pocket -- that tide is coming in strongly with populism. catalan is still a separate issue. a lot of his him and the fiscal position they have been in. look at them piece by piece and generalize and say there is a big problem. tom: i look, rick at the markets and it is such a news flow we really want to discuss the dynamics. equities are approaching equity -- equities are pushing record highs. do you agree, the sentiment is --negative there's no way there is nowhere to go but one way, up?
5:18 am
those panelists that are focusing on individual companies , we think they're overestimating growth. they are not seeing a lot of these challenges that a viewpoint would give us. francine: rick, what is the one thing that is being mispriced when you look at geopolitics? when you look at monetary policy, is there something that people are getting wrong? rick: i think north korea is one you cannot calculate. the second is china. strong economic results seem to be coming out of china. they seem to be able to delay the day that this credit challenge will be faced. in the meantime, it is sick when i asked recovery between the s.jor bloc we've got very low volatility and it is like a coiled spring.

5:32 am
political situation in brazil is stable enough to make sure that trade agreements that are signed and will be seconded? >> what you to look into brazil, brazil has obtained a high level maturity.tional i think the political situation is still volatile. we will have elections next year. we don't know who was going to end up winning the elections. but we do know a certain number of progress is that have been attained over the past 30 years are not going to be brushed aside. the latest one has generated a number of concerns internally and some resistant. actually, the results the president temer has carried out over the past year and have have been tremendously impactful in generating a more balanced environment for investors and for economic growth. your update, ambassador karlov the state of the commodity business and commodities in all of south america. can you call a bottom on the

resilience lining up in protest at this point and that point and another point in protest within the nation. give us an update on how the elite are speaking to the people of brazil and can they give them more hope of a future of prosperity? >> we have undergone a very difficult period in brazil, as you well know. first of all, we had the largest recession in recorded history in brazil. which, fortunate, is on its way out. over the past 2, 2 .5 years, brazil has undergone a very major recession, which is also associated with political volatility issue. this has generated enormous concerns. of course, not as many people line the streets now as they were four years ago at the time i was ambassador in london. more than one million people took to the streets. the situation is still complex,
5:35 am
volatile. there's a lot of the satisfaction politically speaking. i think on some traditional terms and very modern terms as well, people do not feel terribly represented. i do not think this is a brazilian issue alone. i think this is true in many parts of the world. but it is something that requires some changes. i think we have to face some political changes in brazil, especially in the political system, in order to give more satisfaction to the brazilian electors. francine: rick, are you invested in brazil? >> absolutely. maybe there is a sector die mentioned, which -- now there is a reaction to that. what sort of sectors do you think are interesting? >> resilience, in spite of this very difficult patch, we still retain an enormous attraction for investors. over this period, we're the six
5:36 am
largest. this year we expect to be the fifth. i think the most demanding issue in brazil like now -- right now is infrastructure. changesmade significant in concessions law, creating more favorable environment from investors, including foreign investors. brazil arers in treated exactly as domestic investors. i think this is the place we are making the most effort to attract new investors. francine: you're one of the biggest investors in the u.k. what would it take for you to invest in infrastructure in brazil? do you need reassurances from the government or just a good yield? >> we're not direct investors globally, but we do invest a lot in brazil for the equity market. in this sense, it is portfolio investing. we are looking for more stable political environment together with other emerging market countries. the stability we've seen recently in brazil is a special case is foreign-exchange reserves, a fiscal challenge, in
5:37 am
other respects, a great deal of stability. you think about climate change and how that will impact the economies in emerging markets. i don't know whether you have a viewpoint on how brazil might manage climate change, but i'm interested in that, as a driver of return for investors? >> one of the reasons i am in london is because of green. brazil is a very sustainable country, and sustainability is in the forefront of our agriculture. been capability in agriculture. sustainability is key. this is one of the issues we want to increase investments. increaseaid for a 20% in food consumption, brazil needs to have a 40% increase in its production. tom: ambassador, we are all victims of our geography. i'm going to rip of the script and ask you a time will question. much of the focus

5:39 am
internal cooperation in this respect. and we have several meetings with our counterparts in the united states as well. select america because we also supportive of brazilian companies that want to go abroad in the united states is still number one for brazilian companies. when they want to move abroad, the united states is the first country they want to move to. but i think we need to have more action internally. with europe, the southern part of south america has always had a very strong connection with you. europe is the largest investor in brazil. over $350 billion deposit. result is the highest investor outside the united states and europe, even larger than china. tom: these are -- really,aille, these are really important facts. this idea that most americans don't understand the european-brazil next this year. if that is the case, you say you love japan right now. what will it take for you to go long brazil?
5:40 am
-- youknow, japan mentioned japan. japan is another big traditional partner of brazil because of the traditional immigration from japan to brazil. brazil has the largest concentration of japanese outside of japan. japan has been a friend since the 1890's. a big investor traditionally in brazil. our case at least, i must say that we have a very broad range of external representation. the new player on the field is asia, especially china. they have enhanced are medically their participation in latin america and especially in brazil. -- issue, picture off the relationship to an equity market and commodities. the second, which is still important, corporate governments. raising return on equity and latin american countries has been very important for investors. opera governments is bottom-up.
5:41 am
-- corporate governments is bottom-up. those have held back investors and raised the risk premium. i agree with you entirely. i think this is one of the issues that the present government is trying to tackle. we are changing a number of issues, which had held brazil back. labor legislation in brazil. if you pay someone 100 a year salary, then your expenses are going to be close to 190 because of the labor expenses associated with that. regulations for investing in oil. they have changed. we are giving a lot more independence to all of the regulatory agencies. all of this defines an environment that is been more attractive for investors, both brazilian and foreign. tom: this has been terrific. ambassador, thank you. former jaguaribe

5:47 am
ready to give in? spoke words in english, is that a good omen of things to come? >> what can i say? no, seriously, i think the things people may misunderstand is how the mix of pulling out of customs union and forging trade deals, for example, with brazil, might makes. so can britain be a conduit to the rest of europe for the rest of the world? no, of course it can. it makes it a little more complex. i think the ideals, of the global trade deals with carry outt of europe, the european negotiation of the same time. i think it times are short. transition is very welcome. back, rick,o circle to the idea populism. i guess prime minister may is still in with populism, so is mr. corbyn of the labour party. how does that affect global gdp? how does that affect united kingdom gdp?
5:48 am
there's got to billing between this politics into your world, isn't there? >> i think there is a link. stopping immigration is bad, particularly for a country like u.k. that has relied on an influx of talented people from many parts of the world. stopping global trade is bad. that feeds through to the top down story and how much freedom individual companies of god. the more populism you have got opposes foreign takeovers, it getsion, the worse for owners of businesses. the question is, how bad is it get before the effects are felt by those supporters of populism in this backlash that we're going to far, this is affecting employment trends and wages? francine: that could take five years, if not more. it is like a slow to affect. >> it is not just a theoretical point, it is a practical point. many of these attempts at nationalism or nativism or the

6:05 am
the secretary of state rex tillerson not even bother negotiating with north korea dictator kim jong-il and. first and foremost, some are speculating this is a good cop/bad cop to have a political strategy where the president doesn't want to broadcast the united states strategy with north korea while still giving the opportunity for his top administration officials like secretary tillerson to negotiate. at the second point i would make is their speculation this is the president losing confidence in the secretary of state and trying to lay the groundwork for replacement. tom: i'm going to go wide on a monday. the president of united states is structured on the art of the deal. do you see any evidence the art of the deal truck negotiation tactic has any chance of a successful outcome across the many different items, including puerto rico, including north korea and others?

6:09 am
>> the economy does not need the policy anymore. we must not forget the fed has been, we take a couple of steps back when around the related issue to these are most unprecedented quality is very easing -- monetary easing. much has changed. the unemployment rate is close to 4%. more than eight years of economic growth. and yet if you look at the fed balance sheet and the interest rates go a look like nothing has happened. i think the fed is right in gradually, very gradually, normalizing the policy stats. hearine: this is what we more and more. if you want to normalize coming look at financial stability and not inflation. is that the correct way of looking at things? >> i think financial stability is important. that is transmission between monetary policy and the real economy. despite of these couple of or few interest rates hikes we've seen from the fed, financial
6:10 am
conditions are all most easier than ever. important. we cannot completely dismiss inflation. janet yellen has giving us an interesting speech several days ago where she was going through the issues that we have with inflation. one of the big questions is, is inflation still giving us the correct signal? ultimately, we were looking at the fed wants to set monetary is right a way that for the stance of the economy. this slack inrve economy directly. but look at inflation of an indicator as how tight the labor market and all of that stuff. maybe the link is somewhat broken and we have to reevaluate what the correct inflation rate is. looking back, this core pc fed has determined to be it's favored inflation gorge, it is much lower than the core cpi that greenspan and mr. bernanke
6:11 am
have been looking at. actually increased its inflation target over the last several years when there are signs the trend inflation rate has come down. francine: but are they right in doing so, harm bandholz? if you are the fed, first of all, how do you see the next fed person coming in? willoughby steady as they go or will it be someone more dovish? are they right in looking at inflation through the corner of one ayako >> i think the fed will remain gradual. will we have this issue that it is that only the fed chair that is potentially being replaced, but plenty of vacancies on the fed board. it is a big reshuffling. thannk the -- it is bigger one person, even though the chair shaping the view of the committee. as athink that kevin warsh bigger than 50% chance of becoming the next chairman. he has been on the shortlist for fromtime, basically right
6:12 am
the onset. i think he checks a lot of boxes. historically, he has been a bit more hawkish and that is why we reactions inket that way. but i think -- he is not the type of fed president, if you should become it, that tries to choke off the recovery by being too hawkish. francine: thank you, harm bandholz. stays with this for the hour. coming up, live in barcelona in the aftermath of yesterday's controversial referendum. what we're looking at is kind will catalonia's may be signaling their independence. what does it mean for the spanish prime minister? we will look at that next. this is bloomberg. ♪
6:15 am
francine: this is "bloomberg surveillance." tom, we have to go to barcelona and catalonia. spanish yields have risen. bylund scenes and catalonia or police crackdown on a controversial independent vote. -- violent scenes in catalonia where police crackdown on controversial dependent vote. 85% of the voters back independence. spain's interior mr. said please acted proportionately -- minister said police acted proportionally. it is been quite a week and. you done a great job in covering this. what does it mean for the prime minister's future? for rajoy, what a pr disaster for this government and for rajoy personally, what a double whammy. the vote went ahead. the yes won. a you wanted to make this domestic issue, now he is made
6:16 am
is a global issue. we've all seen the pictures and symmetry medical footage. a lot has happened. he rajoy questioning, is going to resign out go the answer is no. he is facing a serious domestic crisis? yes. he is going to meet with rivals in opposition leaders today. he wants to test the waters. this is a minority government. rajoy facing a lot of tension here in both madrid and barcelona. maria, whatgally, happens of let's say catalonia were to actually declare independence in the next 48 hours? what happens after that? they have been incredibly vague. last night the regional president said, i won't inform the parliament to enact this law. this law for context has been suspended. legally, it cannot take place. i want to because shows, but if we get to a state where the regional president is about to announce unilateral independence, you would think
6:17 am
justice would kick in and that means either he gets dismissed from government or spain would have to suspend the economy of the region -- autonomy of the region. a very tense scenario. tom: give us the historical context here back to 1934, maybe back to 1940. i would really go back to the 1930's. is there a linkage or is this separate, discrete, and modern? >> i think we have to be really careful when we try to make references with the civil war. itt we're seeing now is really started in 2012, the economic crisis. you remember the story. spain was about to be intervene. the economy was really bad. it began to hurt and catalonia and the government demanded better financing. rajoy said, this is not going to happen. what we have seen is the movement is gaining a lot of pace.
6:18 am
there's been no dialogue on either side. that is eventually what led to this, a lot of tension and very little political action. yesterday, i do want to say, however, the spanish government today kind of backtrack on the violence and they did say, however, if catalan police had acted in the way they said they a lot of violence could've been prevented. a lot of it was completely unnecessarily and unjustified. tom: maria, thank you so much, from spain this morning. unicredit is af citizen of europe and knows these tensions as well. i think one of the great misunderstanding settling for americans, but all of us, is catalonia is an economic juggernaut of spain. there is no an american equivalent. i have not seen that yet. you would have to sum up three or four states to get the weight of the importance of catalonia to spain. >> that is why if you want the strong bargaining, that is why do so important for spain. tom: it is a must unthinkable to

let's go now. horrific scene last night. horrific.ely the feeling that has taken over las vegas now it is a sense of panic. if you visited vegas before, you know there is usually a sense of fun, people are here to party, to have a good time. but as soon as this happened, that panic kicked in. we saw people running to their hotel rooms. many hotels along the strip not letting guests leave, only led desk letting guests with key cards in or who could actually prove they were staying at those hotels, letting those people in because they were saying it was just unsafe for people to be outside. even at the hotel where we are staying, we could not leave. the valet not giving us the keys to the cars, saying it was not safe, that we needed to stay in place. this scene also, still a very active seen. go ahead. tom: "the wall street journal
6:25 am
for nearly looking for a woman associated with the dead shooter. is she considered a danger and threat to the police and the people of las vegas? usedu know, they have not that exact terminology. they have not said she is a threat or a danger, but they have said she is a female companion, possibly a roommate of the shooter, calling her a person of interest, someone they say they want to speak to. when it comes to if she is a danger or not, that is still in question. they have not said that explicitly, but saying they do want to speak to her. tom: danya, this happened at a country music concert. jason aldean, was on stage at the time, he is safe. do we have another reports of the various acts at this concert, that they are all safe this morning? know, we have not heard anything other than they
6:26 am
are safe. we have not heard about any injuries to any of the actual acts or if they were even targeting the shooting. that is another thing in the situation. police have not released a motive. we know the fbi is investigating, helping to dig deeper into the shooter's background. also looking at surveillance video from hotels trying to stepsack that shooter's to see what happened in the moments before the shooting and if there was an accomplice to help him with this. tom: thank you so much. we will continue here. terrific news flow this morning in spain and in las vegas as well. more reports for you.
6:29 am
6:30 am
we were just there moments ago on the strip. right now the global summary, first word news on las vegas. a so authorities say called lone wolf gunman was responsible for the deadly attack on the las vegas strip. at least 20 people killed and more than 100 wounded when what sounded like automatic gunfire erupted during outdoor music festival. police armed with assault white so weapons stormed the mandalay bay casino. >> there was a shooter on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay. officers responded to that location and engaged the suspect at that location. he is dead currently. he has been identified. he is a local resident. i will not release his name at this time. we're interested in a companion that is traveling with him.
6:31 am
emma: witnesses say gunfire was heard intermittently for more than five minutes. a number of flights headed to mccarran international airport were diverted because of the shooting. a few of them have resumed this morning. i will bring you more on this developing story as it breaks. tom: thank you. greatly appreciate it. we will continue to follow that story. as kevin cirilli said, much out of washington, no doubt this morning. in the world of finance and economics, what we know for certain is we enjoy october. the beginning of the fourth quarter. a good time to check up on the economics. we've been doing that with harm bandholz of unicredit. anon the world, i guess, of interrater richard. bob profusek joins us. what do you see forward? in open question to start our conversation, what is the view ford for m&a? "we got to get it done by the in
6:32 am
of the" is that out there? >> there is a sense of things better get done pretty soon. one of the things about life -- the last year or so, all of this ambiguity about tax policy here and the u.s. is only about two thirds of all global m&a. that really had a dampening effect. there were others. of course, general, political circumstances that affects people's outlook in general. but the uncertainty about tax and whether we would have so-called border adjustment tax, whether interest would become nondeductible -- all of those kinds of things, they really put the brakes on things. through the third quarter, while the number of deals are pretty much the same, the value is down significantly. tom: i see in re tell, the challenges of nordstrom is out in the media today of constructing the transaction. i don't know if you're involved in nordstrom's. i don't want to get you in trouble. in general, is there money of to our eyeballs waiting to be put to work?
6:33 am
>> there is still lots of money. tom: a briefing from unicredit. send the invoice. what's the tenure and what is it going to do? tom: that was $10,000 right there. thecine, jump in conversation. raising go we're jumping ahead. -- francine: we're jumping ahead. what would it take for companies to do good m&a? when you see good m&a, expecting growth to increase significantly, and that, you want market share to be able to negotiate better? >> people do m&a, they think it is all good m&a. of course they do or they would not do it. fuel for so to speak of has been low interest rates and low growth. skin due toporate
6:34 am
synergize. even a private equity firms are starting to do that. they're doing the add-ons and tech ins because if you pay a 10 multiple for something, say $50 million of cost, your created, at least as a matter financial theory, $500 million times 50. synergies are there. as long as money is cheap and growth is slow, well, we're going to have m&a. there is all sorts of external circumstances. uncertaintythink about tax policy in general and some of the uncertainty about this administration in general has had a dampening effect. in general, things are good. the pipeline -- even of the value of deals has been down, the number has roughly been consistent in the pipeline has been very good. not quite as good as 2015, but good. , we look at tax cuts, does it help with consumer
6:35 am
spending? what does it actually help with? does it help with household debt? is it directly linked to inflation and gdp? >> we don't know enough details, afraid the framework out there mostly helps to further increase inequality in the u.s. the numbers that are out, we have two independent estimates. overall, household and not tax cuts. cut goes to the corporate side. if you look at the history, how much of the separate economic growth, the multipliers are relatively small for corporate tax cuts, particularly in an economy that is very close to full employment. so the direct growth effect is relatively small. further increases inequality because most of the corporate tax cuts are ultimately paid by the high-income individuals who
6:36 am
own these companies. tom: we're going to break in with breaking news and for the tragedy in las vegas. this is all happening in real-time with a briefing from las vegas. we're going to continue our discussion here, but this will be much of what we are going to the this morning. francine, we have seen it so many times and we move from a crushing 20 to 50. let's listen in to las vegas. >> located numerous firearms in the room he occupied. like i stated earlier, it will be a long and tedious investigation. we are bringing in all of the resources of the fbi to assist us in this investigation, and particular to the victim witness advocates and the csi folks to help us process the scene and ensure we're getting all of the evidence that we can possibly obtain. furthermore, i want to provide you the phone number i said i would in the first briefing host of that number for family and friends to get an update on
6:37 am
535-5654.s is 1-866- 535-5654.time, 1-866- obviously, this is a tragic incident and when we have never experienced in this valley. what we are anointed try to do is the best we can to get our first responders back on their feet and responding and conducting a proper investigation and ensure we have the safety of this community at heart. my condolences go out to the loved ones that lost their lives and their families. we will do the best we can to make it as easy as possible for you to get information as we know it. i think it is important for you to see via the i wake county fire -- it is important for you to see the folks behind me. it shows we have the full

6:39 am
department, they're doing a fantastic job and we're going to have to look out for the well-being moving forward. >> you said there were numerous firearms found [indiscernible] hotel.he room of the we have officers at his residence. we will be executing a search warrant there shortly. the city recover from this moving forward? tothat is a hard question answer at this point. it is too early in the process. please, give us time so we can do a good job. thank you. i would provide you an update on a regular basis at approximately a two hour window at a time. as you can imagine, we don't get a lot of information all at once . please, bear with us when i provide you information. several people on social media are asking where they can donate blood, if they can. provided,ne number i we will get that information out. at right now, i'm not comfortable providing that
6:40 am
information because we are overwhelmed and the medical services at all of the hospitals right now. united blood services has responded. once they get all of their personnel on the ground and more place, we will be able to provide that info. place, we will be able to provide that info. >> [indiscernible] >> looking for their loved ones. >> [indiscernible] >> yes, ma'am. there are two locations where they been responding. one is at the south central area command, which is in close proximity of the mandalay bay. and also here. preferably, we would like them to come to police headquarters on martin luther king so they are not inundated with people responding in that area. >> [indiscernible] >> thank you very much. have a good night. the share for las vegas. he is 29 years of service. no doubt he has never seen a night as he saw last evening and into this morning as well. there is been a change. we were reporting 20 dead and 100 wounded. that is sadly not true. we have more than 50 dead in the
6:41 am
6:43 am
tom: in america, another shooting. this in las vegas last night. jason aldean was playing a country music concert. from the 32nd floor, gunfire rang out. there are now 50 dead and over 200 injured. sheriff lombardo of las vegas bullies just reporting to all -- police just reporting to all. paddock.ct is stephen
6:44 am
he is dead. there were numerous guns in his room. a person of interest there searching for right now, a woman . we are uncertain whether she is a threat. francine, this is extraordinary and always different and unique. it of the same time across america, heartbreakingly constant. francine: we were just listening to the sheriff saying the shooter was on a 32nd floor of the mandela -- mandalay bay hotel that he of being killed. the police were sharing the image of the governments compare -- of the gunman's companion. 50 are dead and more than 200 injured, including the gunman. tom: let's get the map up. to our global audience who has not been to las vegas, it is dry, dry, dry and the city is north of the city. the strip is always culturally
6:45 am
outside of the city. a lot of the millions of tourists who visit do not know that. there it is. north to south, the las vegas strip with the mandalay bay and much of the new construction to the south. very, very close to that acclaimed las vegas sign, fabulous, iconic image, literally one third of a mile maybe from mandalay bay with the airport nearby. are right now.e we will have many more reports on this through the morning. francine: we certainly will. let's look to another story this morning. theresa may's government, conservative party holds the end will conference. u.k. prime minister has been fielding questions on why she hasn't fired boris johnson. before secretary has shows her strategy of leaving the european twice -- challenged her strategy of leaving the european union twice in the past month. addressing delegates on building a strong economy. phone joins us now on the from manchester where the tory
6:46 am
party conference is taking place. what is the mood like? it seems, first of all, the tories, including the prime minister, is trying to engage more with the youngsters, the on people that labor is so good at getting. >> i am in manchester now. last week i was in brighton with the labour party where they were full of young people singing. -- singing germany corbyn's name. nobody is singing theresa may's name at all. so the conservatives have decided the reason why they had the electoral humiliation they had in june was because young people don't feel they have a stake in the economy, so the conservative response to that, which the chancellor will do today, is explain the importance of free market economics. remains to be seen if this is actually going to do what they hope it will do.
6:47 am
francine: what do we know about what kind of, i guess the society the prime minister wants post-brexit? not very muchn, is the answer. so she has talked about a country that works for everyone, that is the slogan at this year's conference and last year's conference. there are some giveaways to help young people buy houses, extra government loans, a little bit sort ofing on railways in the north of england. but to be honest, the tories are slightly caught here. they don't really understand what happened to them in june. they have got a lot of theories about what went wrong. but fundamentally, they thought they were just going to trash the labour party. they thought they were going to destroy jeremy corbyn's labour party.
6:48 am
now they're looking at what is going on in labor. they're looking at these kids, joiny, sort of flocking to the party and they just don't know what to do about it. yes, one possible option is to explain free-market economics. what the smarter criticism is that actually, if you're under 40 in britain, it is extremely difficult to buy a house unless you have independent wealth. one answer might just be too vastly increase the housing supply. at the tories are not really ready to take that kind of dramatic step. instead, it does feel slightly they are flailing around. francine: do you have any idea of who the most popular figure amongst the conservative party is when it comes to british youth? is it bore strong said? -- is it boris johnson? >> he is the most well known, most recognizable figure.
6:49 am
there are various polls about who might succeed theresa may when she goes. the public lie here is theresa may is going to leave the party until the next election. nobody really believes that. people keep doing polls and surveys of tory activists and saying, who would you like? sometimes johnson is down. today he is right back up there at the top. but actually, the thing to remember is, the favorite never wins the tory leadership contest. they could easily go for someone else. a scottish tory leader yesterday gave a good browsing speech. lots of people quite like her. she is young. somewhere vote in where really, the conservative party was considered dead 10 years ago. she is taking her claim as the person who is loyal and helpful to may, while plotting an independent course. francine: rob, thank you so much

6:54 am
that seems sort of irrelevant, to be honest with you. the trusted thing is usually in the positive direction. tom: is the synergy going on, is a constructive for america or israel world financial engineering defended? >> it depends. some of synergies are euphemism for job losses. contra was, now you have one. at a lot of synergies are making companies better. they're making them more efficient. there combining best practices and doing all sorts of things. working on a deal and a very, what was in the 21st century, might be monday and industry and -- in the chemical space. they actually are spinning and enormous amount of time doing a better rather than doing what he does or he does. tom: interesting. francine: harm, when you look at the strength of the economy, are counseledmed it is companies that are healthy that are adding to, i guess, the general pretty encouraging gdp
6:55 am
news? >> absolutely. let me also, in the light of the news we have received, say that i think it -- the focus on growth is important, but i think we have to rethink the whole -- it has to be more inclusive growth. it reduces several tensions and it is also more efficient for the economy. because if you leave some people outcome you see protests and that is not good for those people or society and ultimately it is not good for growth or financial markets. francine: thank you so much, harm and bob profusek. tom, the big story today is that horrific tragedy in las vegas where we understand that 50 people are dead according to the latest report from police. more than 200 are injured.

the latest is police have located two vehicles there were looking for in the government the gunman'sand companion. tom: the most interesting things over which is crushingly difficult is the video of the actual shooting in a repetitive shots in the language used by ap as the german was firing "clip after clip after clip" which states something about guns in america -- as the gentleman was firing "clip after clip after clip" which states something about guns in america. it will be debated. maybe we will go out 25 days of the debate. and you wonder, what will happen? we will stay with this story through the morning. this is bloomberg. ♪
