5:06 am
demographics that is still there. it looks good, five years from now will we have that no so much. >> this goes to some of the assumptions of the short-term and where we are. you wonder out there, the euro pricing right now is very much near the 1998 level. where does germany want this right now? >> also on a broader scale if eurozone it is still looking relatively cheap. there is still a outside dollar of purchasing power using this as a whole. the euro is definitely cheap. that underpins our call for this. the euro is a big part of that. it is a cyclical upturn which is
5:07 am
broadening deepening with the investments and consumer confidence, it is high as well. there is a fairly steady uptick in demand. that could certainly help it from here. >> let me ask you ahead about cable. this shows what could happen under various rates are you first you have a hike which could take it above 133. this could be around 130. actually, could we see a even bigger drop than that given all of the expectations? >> the pound has moved already ahead of the market. whole the pound remains a function of where we go with the brexit negotiations. it makes it so positive on paper. if carneyn the look
5:08 am
is hawkish, on the whole it will really matter for the markets and it is the credibility of the boe. the way we see things at the moment, the u.k. data, all of those brexit prospects will lend credibility to the masses. hike the rateo outlook would depend on the inflation outlook and the potential to hike will come across as more credible than what we had in august. they could indeed come after tomorrow. expectderstand that you rates to hike again ahead of tomorrow. let me ask you, if we get that hike signal there will be further rate hikes. with that be a policy mistake? intent that wes are not quite sure they are
5:09 am
going to other than that. there is a question of the economic justification. i think it would be a little dismayed if that was the signal. if there areto see new expectations that we have not heard. >> we are going to get this later in the hour. this question is so important i have to ask. daniel morris, how do you raise ,ates with the negative rates how do you do that politically? >> i am trying to come up with a explanation. saw tohearsal that you postpone the vote, it does seem to go back to status quo given that the reaction of the economy was not quite as bad as people predicted. if you look at what the data is telling you it is difficult to see why it is very necessary. all of the questions we
5:10 am
have a read those negotiations, i agree if you are trying to justify and explain what this make sense it is difficult for anyone. constructive on the rate hike cycle, why is that? >> it is about the credibility of the bank of england. the markets will pay close attention to what they have to say. of cable output, there are two factors, we see the more constructive outlook. seeing the pound to be cheap relative to the dollar, that is the target in the year of 2018. things are looking a little bit different against the euro. we are seeing 90 would be that level where you have to spend longer, on the whole we believe a lot of negatives are there. from the point of view, it is a

5:20 am
the fed is going to do. >> these are the two key drivers for the inflation trait we have in the week. the primary beneficiary of that is the dollar. we are cautiously optimistic on the dollar, to highlight that certain risk ahead, if you want to express any bullish view with it being higher. we are seeing a continue to strangle against the european currency in general. on the whole reason i think it will be a game changer when it comes to long-term growth. we think productivity was mentioned earlier today in the case of europe. the case in the u.s. was the same. it is less likely that you are going to see a sustained increase on the facts by trump. with the fed the facts that whoever succeeds whether it is jay powell, the fed will be facing a fairly subdued

5:33 am
will look at the effects. we know it is going to happen. it is hard to see underlying pressures despite this pmi figure. we will see this ultimately feedthrough support for consumers who have been hit by the currency. >> going back to june and july of last year. this goes into england and the pessimism and gloom it has turned to resilience and optimism. bring up the chart if you want. this is a chart we showed a lot back in 26 in. this is goods and services traded in the u.k. and the worry is that this would add away. as the united kingdom falls off the atlantic cliff. this is the deficit for money flows and we have seen a nice pop up here in both series versus the gloom of 6% gdp. why did this not the car?
5:34 am
why did so many people get this wrong? >> i think we have to keep two things in mind. the hitest focus was on to consumer sentiment and what people anticipated would be a fall in consumer demand because brexit. that clearly did not happen. at the same time people did not pay enough attention to was the inevitable benefit of fx from the sterling. it is going to help. both of those factors were there. people focused on the run one. >> what currency level after that discussion is optimal for the united kingdom? we saw a one-time shift in british pound sterling, where to from here? given the success of sustaining flows in the country. >> the thing that is still undervalued here with further railing the of the
5:35 am
exporters. more importantly the estimate is close to 90. the u.k. exporters may benefit if this does move a bit higher. we will stay around 92, that may just be ideal both in terms of trade performance and income account that could be supportive. especially if the return on those european assets managers have reported over the years start performing with it moving gradually towards the exit. have news that the u.k. is preparing to compromise over the question of money in the brexit talks and those talks are going to resume for a two-day session. how much do you actually factor this into when you look at the pound sterling and u.k. assets generally? rallyn you look at the you saw in sterling following
5:36 am
the election and the expectations that the negotiations would go better. been the mostly determinant factor in the direction of the sterling. with the strip feeds of more encouraging news that seems to benefit the sterling. we hope that will be the underlying trend between now and the deadline in 2019. it is probably one of the most in -- important things we can say. >> is the ultimate goal he could get back to 146 or 148 sterling? i think ultimately valuation have to make sent -- sense for the investors. we have been seeing that the pound is cheap. and china you could not book your flight back because all of the flights are booked. is the case. from the point of view, evidence or not it is still the case that
5:37 am
we have always europeans coming over to do their shopping. that is positive for the economy, it is not a game changer, it remains challenging but the pound is cheap. >> what is your call? the firsthear for time that we are going to get the sterling back to one 47, are you with me? >> long-term, why not? >> there we go. somebody is waiting, what is he saying? what is your call on that? >> we have 140. that is our current estimate, for some reason considering the value it is going to close at 90. that is on the whole as i mentioned. they will grow to across the board really. that is where we see the most value.
5:38 am
especially with the cyclical recovery and the eu economy, this could push to further gains further on set. the call onwe heard sterling. i know you think we should be a little more cautious with a rate hike. is there a risk that if he comes under pressure to hike, he always has to have his eyes on this. >> that is a very good point. not just how they reacted and what they would like to do. certainly if you look at the fed projections for next year go back to the beginning of this year when people said they will never hike three times. they have, now they are saying they will do four or five times. they made. that is going to create a pressure on the european experience it is going to be a push on what they are going to do and what they cannot do. >> we are going to continue with

5:45 am
she has two more meetings after january. it may be premature. we are with a senior investment strategist and the head of g10 fx research. beautifully parsed within your research, a 2.3% rate of u.s. gdp, is that enough of a economy for chairman powell or chairman taylor? you take us from the 3% and you come down to a rate that seems i little subpar. it does not get it done, does it? >> i would say just the opposite. , that is a 2.2% rate above the potential growth rate for the economy. that is the perspective that the fed is taking, it is not like the good old days. above inflationary
5:46 am
pressures, we need to be hiking rates now. generally that is perfect with understandable. >> to you think the fed is going to keep their optionality of them or are they going to rate that hike in december? >> i don't think there will be a explicit mention. it will highlight that. this statement is unlikely to point to that created nevertheless it will continue to see a december rate hike is a done deal. i don't think that is going to have a sustained impact on the market. >> certainly the base case to not have much reaction. there is the downside with the rates given the potential for hawkishness is the price. the market focused elsewhere, i think they will be very quick to move on to that nomination tomorrow.
5:47 am
the textile proposal will actually have any clues of process will it be slower and slower. the greed may be on the downside given there is a disappointment that so many have priced at growing so some cautiousness may be warranted. going to the fed with all of the risks that we have. >> you mentioned potential gdp is way under the 2.2% rate, we have heard that from jpmorgan among others. the politicians do not have to worry about potential gdp. they have to worry about being elected, one of the points of desperation we see is tax reform legislation that assumes deficit expansion. fed chairman going
5:48 am
to be a policy expert? >> it is certainly their perspective and it is going to be crucial to the administration. to the notion that you get the tax cuts it will be physical stimulus. much of that is going to be translated into inflation and is the fed going to hike rates more, in the end you do not have a fundamental change the trajectory or hopefully more optimistically is the reform such that it goes productivity and you get more investment so that you are able to raise that growth rate. i think that is very crucial when it comes to determine how the youreact read >> have a look at that through your studies, is a 4% of gdp where the fun begins or is it further out, five or 6% of gdp? would be higher, i
5:49 am
think the comforting news is that the deficit is expected to be around 3.2%. and we have been talking if you have a deficit over $1 trillion. that would increase the deficit from about 2.2% to about 3.8% rated it is a good rate increase it is finance spending. it is where we don't think the market be that nervous. , stay withw lloris us. i know you can stay with us on your bloomberg. you can see them talking to us right now. you can click and find out more about our guests. all of also check into the charts we have shown can the show" them to your bloomberg did this is bloomberg. ♪

are we seeing a decoupling of commodity currencies with the underlying commodities and does this tell us something about the underlying commodities or is this a buying opportunity? >> i think this is a buying opportunity. i think we have to be selective on that. our currencies and the region are suffering because with the australian dollar decoupling from the industrial metals at the moment. the culprit is the dollar itself or the inflation trade with the markets turning more bullish on the dollar. the fact that there is the deviation between commodity prices and commodity currency is extreme levels and it may suggest that those currencies are now looking with the dollar. especially your opinion currencies have a interesting eyeing opportunity.

6:16 am
the long-term historic average is only 100 basis points, but it is a up and down. tom just pulled up a yield curve chart. when you are this late in an are addingcle and 200,000 jobs per month the since 2011 and here we are 2018, we actually have built up a real business cycle recovery the fed will have to be protective of if it is not fighting inflation. if it will go to the john taylor seek secular is to disinflation and drop the interest rate, the fed would have to do more than it has. >> that is something the fed is trying to deal with, how do we hike rates a little bit and not generate too much inflation, but not destroyed what we have. steve, you said we have

to keep an eye on the yield curve. do you see that continue to flatten and what is dragging down the long end, inflation expectations, the term premium going to weigh on the 10 year yield, or do you see an argument for rates moving higher? it is expectations for growth over the balance of the business cycle. the yield curve has flattened in every fed tightening on record. at this stage when the inflation is up 2%, it tells us long-term bond yields are protected. tom: here is your morning briefing, tv . here is the vanilla spread. ira jersey has this tattooed on his left arm. fade,we go with the trump

rate, is that going to move higher with jerome powell? probably not, but if you get someone like a john taylor, you could see five-year inflation expectations go down because you think the fed will go too far and kill inflation. in terms ofn more the other fomc members in 2018 and what the entire fomc looks like. this week's pick tell us anything ideologically in that sense? >> it could. if president trump thinks i am not worried about who is in there and i want to get good people on the board of governors , then yes. at the same time, ideologically president trump wants to be more dovish. he does not want a lot of hawks on the board of governors. tom: this is great. yourcan be used in
