1:12 am
industries like washing machines here and there to make a few headlines and keeping your base happy and that's what he is trying to do. this gets real for me for global markets if they start talking about pulling out the dead eto. that's when you are starting to care at the heart of the rules-based writing system. that's when you get at the major -- you see in u.s. sovereignty. that's when it gets real for me. upus: why do you bring that as being a risk factor? is that a 10% risk, a 20% risk? we haven't heard anybody say he is at the point of revving up wto, which would be a splendid isolation. sayingalking about tpp, they had states are prepared to negotiate. tpp.includes countries in you can call it the trump tpp. david: i would like to say

1:14 am
they have seen friends in treasury reels after this yield. the u.s. has from here. we have the fed this week. a busy week of data, as well. which data we need to watch. what is the crucial bit of data? we get all of cap the report but you are focused on the wednesday. david: there is a humorous -- huge amount of data coming up, american employment. we have employment cost index. one of my favorite indicators is very important to measure the growth in wages and employment costs in the united states. the quarterly has a treasure trove of data taking down types of cost of wages. etc.. if we were to see another strong quarter, it would add upward pressure on bond yields. let's keep our feet on the ground. we broke out of the recent trading rage, up 2.6.
1:15 am
the highs of this cycle is 3.98 in the spring of 2010. let's keep our feet on the ground because even if you look at real yields, they are low. if you look at inflation expectations, they are 2% cpi. it usually traits 30-50 basis points above cpe. today are experts under shooting the fed's target. that's the reality. it's quite modest. it doesn't bring excitations in line with the fed's target. it's not that big of deal. manus: goldman sachs, our top story is that they are slightly more hawkish tilt from the fed. it's not just going to be a nonevent. with that in mind, if you look at equities, at the start of the show we started with an equity tilts. let's have a look at it. this is the best month on record.
1:16 am
if it becomes slightly more hawkish, ray galliano -- ray dalio says don't sit on cash, that's music to a bankers years. you would agree with that, but this adding of value can't be unseated by the fed. it has to be -- david: it can be unseated by the fed if there is a perception they have to raise interest rates because it's behind the curve. we are a long way from that. you need six months of above expectations. you need a range of other things like eci pointing to inflationary pressures, hawkish rhetoric, etc., commodity prices rising. you can get to situation a couple quarters from now when it affects of valuations. remember 1994, terrible year for the bond market. people lost money on bones. earnings went up 20%.
1:17 am
the stock market didn't go anywhere. multiple contracts. right now, people are looking at 20% earnings growth. it could be a nice 94 rerun, but that's a pessimistic view. we don't thing bond yields will breakout this year. anna: before bond market is something we don't talk about. thank you very much. chief client investment strategist at j.p. morgan private bank. let's tell you what is coming up. we talk about some of these things already. due tow, donald trump is make his first state of the union address to congress. manus: on wednesday we get a decision, janet yellen's last. anna: we get the u.s. jobs report for the month of january. that's wednesday. coming up, the big cutie question, when can we expect a

1:24 am
coming from the dutch central-bank. hawkish comments from the dutch central-bank, but inflation is where they are supposedly inflationand does data justify a move away from qe? >> we have more cpi data this week and if you look at the last two or three hiking cycles of the european central bank, they would already be hiking significantly at this point. the issue is depressed inflation. absolutely they are tiptoeing toward it. they have a solely inflation mandate. their mandate is to keep inflation below 2%, asymmetrical target. they're the most inflation centric bank but they can't even get inflation there. they have a variety of tests. drug wanted to be at the right level.
1:25 am
it's persistent, doable, and broad-based. those three other inflations aren't in the eurozone right now. >> if you look at this chart it looks and i chose, as if core inflation and headline inflation -- if we are so far removed from that target, why are we hearing so much heft from the hawks? why are they rising so aggressively when draghi did everything last week to try to quell them? there is a real division, isn't there? >> there has been the division the entire time. the ecb was ready to go to court qe.justify the legality of it.e's a couple things to they look at the momentum in the economy, which is fantastic at the moment. 19 straight quarters, providing investment banks, pointing to
1:26 am
how much of the global improvement is south of the eurozone. then of course financial stability issues. you look at where government bond markets are still trading, hefty amounts in negative interest rates, global equity doing very well, credit spreads very tight. it's hard to argue that it should continue to pound for even more, and they are running out of bonds to buy. >> and pushing up the euro in the meantime. it adds threat to the growth story. >> not that much, because this is a very domestically driven cycle. >> hold that thought, we have more to get into. david stubbs stays with anna and i. up next, we will go to saudi arabia. they have freed all only been to law, and others from the
1:27 am
ritz-carlton hotel in riyadh. we keep an eye on kingdom holdings. will it add to the rally, by more than 10% in the trading day?

equities. flip to the next chart. the hensing enterprises index, interesting has an 18% rally and more shares closed one year peaks at any point in 2015. we saw a third of them do that on friday, the most since 2015. volatility, the wildest swings since 2007 is what we have been seeing. how much further to this rally have to go. that's the big question we have here. looking at the dollar, the dollar index ended seven weeks of losses. inlar-yen is on the front today's session in the bank of japan, pushed back kuroda's butents in davos, dollar-yen on its 100th week moving average. is this a bearish signal? i showed a couple of technicals last week, one awake .80 is where we are. this is out of 2014 high at
1:32 am
around about 2.68%. if we move on and take a look at oil, it is extending gains, closing its highest since 2014. you are seeing cpi beyond six dollars a barrel. the cpi brent spread at the moment at its highest since october. manus: is all about the backwardation in that market. nejra cehic what's -- with the latest. -- has been released from the ritz carlton. this marks the end of the first phase of the anticorruption crackdown against princes billionaires. shares gained 10%, the most since november 2014. following the news, he returned home saturday. for more, yousef gamal el-din joins us from dubai. we have many signs of watching
1:33 am
this story closely. give us the details of what's going on in saudi arabia. mentioned to shares of kingdom holding and as much as there are not a lot of analysts who cover this stuff, it's always the shockwaves that come from this. with the onset of the anticorruption crackdown in the first week of november, it really shook things up. the concern was this was a crackdown on political opponents rather than corruption. really continues to weigh on sentiment evaluations in saudi arabia. there is a lot more that can be unlocked if this anticorruption probe can be -- what we do know at this point is that the chairman of kingdom holdings will retain his position in the company. he will continue to hold onto ownership of that. but we don't have any more detail on that in terms of whether a settlement and what
1:34 am
kind of financial settlement it will be reached. we don't know what the position of the prince is. he said it was all a misunderstanding while the government argued that those had have been released have reached settlements. it important thing is that is nearing the end, weighing on the shoulders of quite a few people. for the reputation of saudi arabia and a market index, arguably in that -- ritz, he wasok at worth $18 billion. number 65 on the bloomberg rich list. it will be interesting to see what proportion of that he has to give up, some key holdings we will watch very closely. market,comes to the oil bid up by the hedges offered by the oil fractures in the united
1:35 am
states. if i look at the iranian position, they are getting vocal about their concerns about rising prices getting too far too fast. what was the latest over the weekend? iranian oil minister said six he dollars is a good price. -- $60 is a good price. it has been really stand out in their opposition to this fierce rally. they are worried like many other observers that price much higher from here will feed into the shell boom. you pointed it out, as well. rising by another 12, the most since march. oil production rose to 8.8 million barrels per day. the highest level in weekly data compiled since 1983. some credibility that can be asserted, can be assigned to the comments from the iranian oil minister.
1:36 am
that theyrom the rest do not intend to change anything when it comes to the current policy, at least just yet. anna: thank you very much. bloomberg markets middle east anchor, yousef gamal el-din. scene at the ritz carlton, phenomenal news flow coming out from that part of the world. from your perspective, from the clinic conversations, how have things shifted? how are they shifting at saudi arabia at the moment? david: the people i have been speaking to our concerned about that situation. they are concerned that the group around the perpetrators of this is very, very tight. they don't seem to leak in very many information. people you think are in the know are not in the know. so it's very difficult there. even if you are in that region,
1:37 am
there's only a minority of your investments. there are other global trends in their portfolio. a lot of these countries are pegged or soft pegged to the u.s. dollar. it is intriguing what's happening in saudi arabia and it is relevant to lots of our clients around the region here. actually, it's a minority of liquid investments and they have bigger things to worry about in terms of retooling a portfolio. manus: you mentioned the pegs. you raise the soft pegs. is that getting talked about? our people concerned? are they shifting their portfolios in reaction to the positions?rency david: i'll take any of them are taking it seriously. if you look at the saudi and the generate first, the first time they had that, there have been significant budget
1:38 am
consolidation measures for saudi going into recession last year. there's a perception they are doing enough and have done enough to defend of these pegs. i don't think we have seen major spec lead of action. it will be interesting to see if someone with deep pockets took a shot. i don't think they are taking that seriously. what they are taking seriously is the potential for a multiyear gradual decline in the u.s. dollar and a lot of them have not hedged their exposure significantly and there are questions about how you get around that. anna: does it put them off treasuries? david: i don't think so. if you are put off treasuries, you are put off why the outlook for inflation's and the prices of security can itself. we are underweight in bonds globally. many yearsaded bonds ago and the outset came from a variety of geographies in recently. the demand for treasuries in the middle east -- david: it is one that yields
1:39 am
take off from here. the major cause of money in the middle east and europe, to buy percent, 2.9%, 3%, hand over fist. [laughter] they are still going to buy it and that will be the case. 2.75%, 2.8%. i won't say we will never get i won't but underestimate. how credible the fed is keeping inflation below 2% at how much demand is for real yield. them two point 9%, to play percent, they will buy it. anna: that's why it's there. about, oil to talk linked to that conversation. isant to talk about metal reposing in our risk radar because it's moved to percent overnight. % overnight.
1:40 am
generally, the pattern has been of of fall. there is the dollar affect many will point to when you look at the higher isis for industrial metals. there is a demand side, as well. david: i believe demand supply intricacies of the individual commodities are the dominant driver. the dollar doesn't matter in big moves, but it's about supply and demand in the actual commodity. we are more positive on metals and there's a discussion going on for our core folio's how to play that. you mentioned -- core portfolios how to play that. you mentioned australia. manus: i do read what i write down. finding if in ways to look in that pacific, extra pen is another index, a lot of australia, new zealand, hong kong in there. if you buy that we are transitioning from a low-quality growth, driven by low interest
1:41 am
rates, higher fixed prices, weaker investment, to overall a better trade and higher confidence, and i do by that story, that it's hard to see there won't be significant demand for commodities. oil has been a demand story so far. to playre a great way that, as well, and we are looking at different ways to do that. manus: what about the equity side? shell is going to buy with exxon in terms of market cap. poll up the relative value function in terms of dividend for shelton versus bp. this will be a big week in reporting. rebelief that they won't squander it again. does the equity value in the oil market appeal to your clients? david: i think so. what's most interesting is the far right hand column, the
1:42 am
dividend yields. look at that. you look at the yields you can get on these major companies. only six months ago, you really could have questioned the sustainability of the dividend flow. a lot had to borrow to pay it. at the same time, oil has risen and there is cost compression in the sector, as well. it's a fair to say now that you can go after these dividend yields in reasonable confidence they will pay you going forward. i don't have an individual name pick. if you are looking for a dividend play. i think now the narrative has now changed in these companies. they were fragile. now it appears they have the strength to continue this cash to shareholders. anna: thank you very much. manus: conviction from david stubbs, along new title they've given you. we have come up with something different. ministers will
1:43 am
adopt new directors for brexit negotiations when they meet today as theresa may faces is letting challenges to her leadership. we discuss that next. anna: u.s. trade representative is hopeful a deal on that the can be done. -- nafta and be done. this is bloomberg. ♪

1:50 am
today, we get the eu giving marching orders to michel barnier. his negotiating brief. this is what you want from the transition. what is your message when it comes to transitions? miles: ultimately, you need it as soon as possible. the greater the clarity, the sooner the clarity. the greater sense of direction we are going in, the better for customers, clients, shareholders, and employees. manus: you made the point that the eu needs to step up their vision on what they want in a new relationship with the u.k. afterward. from the rhetoric we have had lately, i can only go off the rhetoric, it is the emphasis that it's up to you the u.k. to define what you want. i assume is off the table. is that your base case assumption and why do you think it is up -- why do you think it is not more up to you to define
1:51 am
the relationship than the eu? miles: it's quite clear from the u.k. side and the conversations we have had in brussels that is off the table. the question is, what do you replace that with? that depends on are you privatizing politics or privatizing the economics -- prioritizing the economics. it depends on where that individual or institution is coming from. if you are prioritizing economics, what is the regulatory relationship, the trading relationship? and had he do that with a minimal amount of dislocation? anna: just in terms of this transition, i pulled out lines from the rhetoric, if you can't get clarity, business will have to assume a disorderly brexit and execute contingency plans. if you are talking about board members with duties toward shareholders, when is it too late? is it already too late?

1:53 am
purely european or international. the studies we commissioned showed 25% of the activity that happens in u.s. financial services is related in one form or another to europe. how quickly do shift that? the question here is, where do you go other than europe? if you knew look at where economic growth is coming from, where clients want to book business, it's not in europe, it's in asia and the united states. what brexit is doing and if we are not careful, what they will accelerate, is they will move out of europe as a whole. this is one of the reasons why critical mass in the broader european market is critical. anna: europeans buy that argument? they don't think it's a negotiating tactic? miles: i think at the start, some of them did think that. but if they have seen where jobs have moved to, i think it's very clear. we have a fantastic brexit
1:54 am
tracker that shows where jobs are going. that underpins that there is no signal place in europe where these jobs are going. it is fragmenting. manus: this goes nicely back to the macron interview. they talked about a number of different things. was this discussion about the risks of the eu being cut off from london's market and everything you said, this is what he said on passporting. therein lies using that as a placard to the europeans. is that really the smartest and most genuine way to create good debate about how to come up with a solution? miles; we are not cut off from u.k. financial services, but there is a risk. manus: badly, money mode make it. miles: there is a risk at this. we are about 40-50% of the financial activity in the u.k.
1:55 am
