they released the three u.s. citizens to the arms of president donald trump. now these big talks from the secretary of state mike pompeo, he is talked about raising the level of the economy in north korea to that of its neighbor, which seems pretty far-fetched but certainly sounds like a very aggressive goodwill gesture to really put the maximum to pressure on kim jong-un to play ball with the u.s. forward isow going that will continue. haidi: i am wondering when it comes to the trade side of things, it feels like we are setting up for another round of talks. do we have any data whether the vice to mere from china will visit? butlind: we believe he is,

it has been slow in coming. you talked about on your program that the move by the trump administration today, it seems compromisinglevel, are getting this back into business was a precondition from what we have heard, possibly a precondition to the talks going ahead. so maybe look for those talks to go ahead. so very interesting move by the trump administration. betty: i want to return to the issue of iran, which we heard john bolton earlier today talk about imposing u.s. sanctions on businesses who do business with iran. what is the latest? ros: it seems today that john bolton am a national security adviser, and mike pompeo are doing good cop, bad cop on iran.

know, is a hardliner, you after it sanctions possible on european companies, european -- maybe not governments but companies. he said it depends on the conduct of the outlook of the government. we think that is pretty harsh words, countries that are u.s. allies. abouts mike pompeo talked he is still hopeful for getting a deal with iran to really work. at the same time you have theresa may having a phone conversation with the iranian president, and iran's foreign minister is in china and will continue to travel to kind of bring the deal together with the non-us purchase offense. -- it is offense. john bolton thinks european governments are stunned by the u.s. move, and that is true. they are still waiting to see

what it all means. but really the threat of going sanctions on your own , ands is a pretty hardline it seems like the u.s. will follow through. betty: thank you so much, ros krasny in washington, bloomberg news editor. president trump making a dramatic about turn on china, ordering the commerce department to help wireless companies stay afloat in the u.s. our policy editor kathleen hays has more on the story with a different angle, talking about the president'tweets. -- president's tweets. kathleen: there is this comment about his trip by the top economic advisor to the united states. the white house that it would be this week. we have not had a definite confirmation of what day when the chinese so far is it would happen at the appropriate time.

still expected but meanwhile the rp. is a big zte co thing. in april under trump's orders, the commerce department cut zte off from his employers because they have violated the sanctions against north korea and iran, and they sold telecommunications equipment. that is what they do and make. the u.s. blocking zte's revenues, the next two weeks crucial. they need -- they may be ready to shut down operations, so it is an emergency. official told bloomberg news that china thought maybe this blockadeof the zte from its u.s. suppliers would be a condition for continuing the u.s. talks. donald trump on his way to golf, here is what you tweeted out. let's take a look at this.

xi of china and i are working together to give massive chinese food companies -- phone companies a way to get back into business fast. congress has been instructed to get it done. so i think this creates a little more drama, a little more questions about, maybe this is trump's way of saying, come to the u.s., we have had trade talks. both sides said they made progress. nothing definite, but maybe this is the way to set this up for more progress. it is interesting that as all of this is going on, the south china morning post is looking ahead and saying the vice president of china could be sent as a firefighter in late june, early july to continue these talks are at both sides seem to be seeing the room for progress, despite a lot of back-and-forth, $150 billion is what is threatened on china.

said's that $50 billion -- $50 billion. would beions, tariffs really bout against china when they are already slowing down. haidi: the chinese investor sounded -- ambassador sounded upbeat with these talks. kathleen: yeah, he was speaking at the center for strategy and international talks in washington. it was interesting because he really was optimistic. he said the huge deficit for the u.s., the trade deficit, the surplus for china should not continue. he said this in his talks as csi on friday.- csis i don't think it will continue, the back-and-forth, the tension. for us it is already a problem. we need to make achievements to achieve balance. i'm confident if we have a

balanced approach, we can find a solution. he said he is optimistic china would cut subsidies on the kind of companies that are being given subsidies as part of the made in china 2025. high-end of the production chain technology type companies. he cautioned against those trying to build a glass curtain between china and the u.s. it would be good for bilateral relationships and both countries. the public comment time on the tariffs that trump has proposed to put on china and may 22 -- that is why people are expecting this next round of talks between the u.s. and china will happen quickly. on friday, as the u.s. chamber of commerce put out a comment on the terrace at the trade rep's office, they called these hidden regressive taxes on u.s. consumers and businesses that will hurt u.s. competitiveness. one of my colleagues actually in

good morning, i am betty lou in new york. haidi: i'm haidi lun. you are watching daybreak australia. president trump has ordered the u.s. commerce department to get

back into business, weeks after cutting off from the u.s. ,uppliers area a major reversal who have constantly said china is stealing jobs. usbal growth upturn, joining seniortal investor economist. thank you for joining us. we talked about this marathon, not a sprint when it comes to trade. you think investors are putting food on the fire, or are they -- >> i think over april we definitely saw that investors were taking trade as a backseat because there wasn't much news .ut from that side investors were taking comfort in the economic data which is good over april, but the issue is in may we are going to have to see some resolution around with the u.s. is going to do around chinese imports. i think that will create some

volatility in markets, and it will be a negative thing for equities, especially in the u.s. haidi: the kind of tendency to take these surprises from trump tweets, i was surprised to hear this turnaround, the about-face when it comes to the zte, but is this is a tit-for-tat but also back-and-forth that you were expecting? diana: we were expecting negotiations to continue over the past few weeks, especially as chinese -- as chinese delegates were going into the u.s. and vice versa to talk about trade. while it is likely to continue, we are going to see heightened volatility in markets really because trade issues and the concern around the trade war, the risk of a trade war is a big negative for global growth, and has been strong. any signs that it is turning is going to strike investors.

haidi: i wonder how the lack of a trade war or the tensions taking a backseat informs your view on the u.s. dollar? it has not been this overbought since march 2014, but the fundamentals have not changed. you see this to the upside. think the u.s. dollar has further upside, ultimately because markets are underpricing the risk of federal reserve rate hikes. we think three more this year, market pricing, inflation -- that is right. we think despite a better inflation rate, the overall inflation is turning to pick up in a very fast way, especially if you look at inflation on a three-month annualized type of basis which gives you a better rated trend. wages is something investors it to keep an eye out for as well. with these things coming up and high commodity prices, we think

the u.s. dollar is heading higher, and the u.s. treasury yields are heading higher as well. betty: speaking of treasury yields, i want to pull up this chart that shows you how much spreads are tightening in the treasury market between the five and the 30 as you continue to look here. the spread rapidly, over the last 12 months continues to tighten. at this rate it is likely to turn negative, invert by august or september, so does that signal a recession? speak thedid see that fed over the weekend that they are expecting the yield curve will invert sometime in the second half of the year. we would not be too surprised to see that, but i don't think it signals the start of a recession. we are seeing in previous cycles that the yield curve has inverted a little bit but not always signaled recession is on

the cards. but i think this will likely still happen. we think the year will be positive for u.s. equities because earnings growth is strong and momentum is strong. i would not get worried. betty: we have got several fed speakers who are going to be talking this week, including richard clarida who is a nominee for fed vice chairman. you expect any of the remarks he will hear from various fed officials help that inversion rate? the communication from the fed has really been quite consistent in that they have been saying their inflation target is quite symmetric. so if they need to have inflation running above the 2% band, they are quite willing to allow that to happen. so i think that ultimately, the long and of the curve should be picking up more than where it

has been over the past few weeks. but some of that concern around trade i think might take some high-heeled -- high-yield over the next few weeks. betty: i want to talk about the oil markets which have been rattled by the u.s. leaving iranian nuclear deal. we heard opec over the weekend say they have enough supply. they are not concerned about upcoming sanctions. you expect this to be disruptive or pretty well priced in to the global economy? diana: it is a difficult one to get a great read on, but probably oil prices have another live dollars to seven dollars of upside -- five dollars to seven dollars of upside left based on the sanctions imposed. it is further upside in the markets, but i think there is also, what is going on is global demand is still holding up quite

well. that is something investors have been concerned about, the global , but wes quite weak think demand over the economy, particularly emerging markets, is better than what investors were expecting. that upside is good for oil prices. it is more upside in the near term. that might help with inflation. haidi: all right, thank you for joining us. senior economist here with us in sydney. tuesday, make sure you watch our conversation with turkish president satiety erdogan -- erdogan. : in the afternoon in hong kong. of of you can get around that story and more to get your day going in today's edition of daybreak. bloomberg subscribers can go to dayb , also on mobile in the

economic priorities they are focusing on the scandal, a special task force. it is looking into the company scandal, and there will be collaboration when it comes to investigations in other jurisdictions overseas. returning to what the primitives are had to say for the priorities, he said with investors looking unsteady, at the uncertainty, he says the economy is still in good standing, and with the transition of power, there will be certain considerations to be made when it comes to or reducing that debt. he said they are not stupid, they will not look to increase the debt burden on people, taking a look at the way the economy has developed. he sees while the economy could be at stake should the gst be removed, he is keeping a steady hand throughout the transition of power along with mohammed at the helm. haidi: thank you so much.

be added. listing these companies will be part of the gauge that guides investment of $12 trillion. that will bring a lot of money, create demand internationally and for the shares by tracker funds that have to mirror the content of the msci. let's take a look at the index, the msci emerging market index. this is the one that will be featured. it is widely followed. this is a major symbolic win for china which is -- has wanted greater taking. what it means for the economy is a number of things. it means there will be an ability for investors in china and around the world to short the stoxx. this is something, shortselling, got a bad name in china in 2015 because of the stock market crash at that time. a lot of it had to do with futures on the indexes. it left a bad taste in people's

mouths, but now it is more sophisticated. it has balanced the market and is useful, allows shortselling because more shares are available. that kind of availability he did not have. the biggest issue with shortselling in china was the availability of stocks. that will improve with this. as mentioned in the little report you saw, the inclusion will be relatively small in terms of waiting, about .7%, but it can grow to 14%, and that would have a massive change in in these chinag listed stocks. haidi: taking a look at wall street, we mentioned trade talks that are potentially happening but also another round of earnings and eco-words. -- reports. earningsve a number of reports. let's look at those because the
