trying to reach talks with china to avoid a trade war before the tariffs on chinese products take effect july 6. former u.s. government officials and chinese experts have been contacted to gauge the chances of high-level talks in the next two weeks. of -- isolio manager with us. alberto, july will be a big -- the sixth of july could have aches significance. how concerned are you and your company about the reality of a trade war? is it numbers or sentiment that matter more to you? alberto: it is both. anduld say we are concerned positioned for an escalation. generally, we have seen a shift
2:11 am
toward populism in the u.s. and now in many emerging markets, as well. when you have regimes and governments that overpromise to their electorate -- electorates, it is easy to blame any shortcoming on foreign countries and foreign enemies. of thersening geopolitical risk environments is likely to create downside to global growth. inthink the worst effect markets continued to be the emerging markets both in seenies and index, we have a repricing of equities in asia the past few days but also of emerging-market debt across hard currency issuers in the last two weeks. year to date, emerging market debt is around 7%. these are areas that continue to be vulnerable both because of the with all of federal reserve liquidity in dollars and because of geopolitical risk. anna: what has been oversold?
2:12 am
ofngst all of that selling asian equities or emerging-market equities, and moves on fx and bond markets, what has been oversold? where are we throwing the baby out with the bathwater? alberto: i still think it is early. i think emerging markets come from 10 years of being a crowded trade, first in debt and then in equity. there are some countries where short-term has become interesting. emergingure where market spreads and yields are close to record lows, we are not in a rush to pick up any so-called bargains. there are a lot of flows that have to come out and a lot of complacent money is in emerging markets. anna: too early for bargain-hunting. about the flows. we have created some great
2:13 am
charts through the week. one is about money going into the shorter end of the u.s.. perhaps money tracking tips in the dollar ascending a little bit. are you seeing that flow materialize? are you seeing money repatriate to the dollar on the risk of an escalation of trade rhetoric or war? alberto: this year is all about divergence in growth. it is the opposite of what we have seen during the expansion. year, investors were in a goldilocks environment of synchronized global growth. now we see the u.s. outperforming, taking growth out of emerging markets and europe with trade policies. with growth going to the u.s. from other countries. u.s. equities outperformed, the dollar gets stronger and there is a flow onk into u.s. assets, dollar
2:14 am
dollar cash from other countries. it also means the fed is the only central bank that convincingly normalizes policy. it is a bit harder to see the bank of england, the boj, the ecb, normalizing policy at the moment, which could leave countries without much buffer before the next crisis. anna: the other big news flow andnight surrounds greece the agreement reached with creditors extending maturities, giving a grace period. do you think the saga ends here or does it never end? alberto: it is a good deal. it is a 10 year extension. the market expected something like seven to 10 year -- seven to eight years. ofgives greece 22 months cash without going back to the market. want toeal world, you give small countries in europe some flexibility. the eurozone currency union needs fiscal transfers.
2:15 am
you cannot have a fixed exchange rate without independent monetary policy and fiscal transfers. we have seen that. the french mechanism would have been the ideal situation. where you haves an automatic change in the interest rate if there is a slowdown in growth. that is not on the table but having said that, the creator -- creditors said they would be amiable to new measures if recession occurs. overall, it is a good deal for greece who has completed a lot of reforms. the eurozone remains fragile because core european countries need to focus on growth and that is the missing point so far. manus: if that is missing so far, are you concerned in any way about the timeline from the ecb that they have given to us terms of qe -- the end of qe and the rhetoric holding rates
2:16 am
through 22019 -- to 2019? alberto: i am concerned the ecb is missing the exit train. that is also the problem mario draghi has been highlighting his many press conferences. core european governments need to focus on reforms and on growth. we have seen europe continuing to grow, growth is positive, but losing momentum in the first quarter. this momentum is not coming back. we are two thirds into the expansion and we need court european countries to redistribute some of the gains they received from having a much lower exchange rate and negative funding costs on their debt. if that doesn't happen, the risk is europe could find itself in a relatively fragile position should a slowdown occur in the next two or three years because the ecb will still be a very low interest rate.
2:17 am
the u.s. has proceeded with a very strong fiscal stimulus, building momentum and increasing gdp. many countries in southern europe need stronger growth to be able to withstand a slowdown in the next three years. manus: alberto, thank you. alberto gallo, algebris inventments portfolio manager. some breaking headlines and we had the story overnight. they are concerned about hard brexit risk and the implications. anna: that is where the headlines tap into. we take that story on. we talked to u.k. radio, saying they need clarity from the u.k. over its brexit plan. they are considering developments in the u.k.. they can't continue without clarity on brexit and airbus --s as a point of series serious decisions, they will stop stockpiling stocks. this is an interview airbus is giving.

>> giving our expectations of supply and demand, this will go a long way in preventing the market from tightening beyond the balance we were looking for. manus: opec and its allies have
2:22 am
reached a preliminary agreement in spite of opposition from iran to boost production by a nominal one million barrels a day. iran's oil minister walked out of yesterday's meeting and saudi arabia's energy minister warned his fellow oil producers about rising consumer anxiety and that is really what was most pressing at the palace yesterday and the day before. think of it. it is not just the united states at his ring the bell in terms of prices. you have china and the india market all warning in terms of prices. the question today is, iran walked out of the meeting last night where they didn't have a vote. they have a vote behind me and venezuela does, as well. this could be a fracturing moment of opec. anna: the nigerian oil minister saying it would be a challenge to reach a deal but there are questions about where opec does
2:23 am
next because we have seen the axis of saudi and russia holding together. alberto gallo, algebris inventments portfolio manager still with us. how are you watching this opec meeting? are you so expose you are hanging on every beat, or are they missing the demand story as a result of tensions around trade? what is your focus? alberto: we have been looking at higher oil since last year. at the moment, we are not positioning for a higher level from here. we think the risk is still on the upside and the reason is that both opec and non-opec countries need a sustainably higher price of oil despite the complaint from development its. there is disruption in some producing countries like venezuela that could get worse. regime is faltering, there was dark condition for the
2:24 am
venezuelan population and it is not clear for how many months the regime can stay there. there is the potential for geopolitical risk to push oil higher and that is not necessarily priced in at the moment. manus: and this is one of the things we have had. i have had the global head of research from citigroup saying we are not prepared for any supply shock from venezuela or hurricane season or investment and another country losing production. tie all of that back to global theets for us, in terms of potential for higher oil prices and the inflation story that goes with that, if at all. if that ties together for you. alberto: it ties together in something that looks a bit like the withdrawal of liquidity from the federal reserve, still not enough to withdrawal liquidity
2:25 am
completely because either central banks are still easing, then you have higher oil prices and slower growth outside of the u.s.. it looks like convergence with the u.s. growing faster than other countries in the world and still positive, but slower growth elsewhere in the world with higher inflation. it means the central bank policy outside the u.s. and europe and the u.k. and japan are harder to manage because you still have high unemployment in europe, you still have spare capacity, higher oil driven inflation but not wage inflation we need. it is not good for markets outside of the u.s., which is a big oil producer. anna: this is a bigger picture question. we have touched on oil, trade, greece and factors this morning. how much do you spend time
2:26 am
considering tail risks? you have this end of the world fund, a tale risk fundm how much time do you spend worrying about this? alberto: we are at the end of a cycle of good markets. central bankers 10 years ago came together and said i am going to give you 360 days of sun instead of 200 days of rain. and markets got used to the calm, the good weather. no one carries protection. very few investors carry protection. a lot of investors so volatilities so when you have five days of rain, you have hurricanes. volatility is bipolar. there have been it crashes a year ago and markets -- anna: alberto gallo, algebris inventments portfolio manager. he will continue the conversation on bloomberg radio.
