the clip you played of trump just now, that seems to link everything to the trade war -- it is not quite like that but if it does escalate then it is going to be a much more serious issue. >> i'm glad you brought around the trade war. at the moment, the signals we seem to be getting from china is that it is ok just the short-term pain. and the editorial as it appears is very much of that character, that this is a and that chinact is willing to suffer. the suffering hasn't kicked in yet but the economy is on a slow down pass and that's a cyclical factor, it's not just about trade. it could get worse. >> indeed it could. thank you so much to jeff black.

4:08 am
rapid decline but i don't think anyone is convinced that it will for further. >> the latest decision by china, rhetorically, to play hardball in retaliation to president trump, could that be a policy mistake in terms of the economic hit the country could take? >> it could be, particularly given that the chinese economy seems to be slowing dramatically. i think that's probably one of the reasons the currency is weekend. it has really slowed the economy down far more significantly than the anticipated. a trade war now, where the u.s. is increasing the tariff rate, it does feel a little bit courageous at a time when the economy is already requiring some stimulus to recover. >> what signs would you be looking for that might signal
4:09 am
that this is where we could be getting to the breaking point? >> you would look for a change in rhetoric which isn't happening yet. i guess the lesson from the european negotiations with trump is that at some point you have to come in with the circuit because otherwise if china retaliates all we will see is u.s. retaliate. that doesn't seem to me to be a path that is going to be successful for china. >> jane, let me show you a chart, the funding costs in thea's money markets as country leans toward easing. how quickly could we get to seven? >> if they were to step away, extremely quickly. it's a matter of pace and how much control they will have,
4:10 am
that would give us a little bit of a clue as to how much intervention there has been. they really can carry on controlling if they want to but we know the economy is slowing and it seems natural to allow the current the to slip. if you stand back and look at it, it was strong against the remember me and it has been one of the strongest currencies in energy. we have a strong dollar as well. if they were to separate capital outflows it could fall hard and fast. it's all about measures and balances and how far and fast they will go. >> into your point, we are seeing dollar strengthen the session, which could explain why we aren't seeing as much in the yuan. thank you, neville hill, jane foley, you stay with us. stay with "surveillance."

4:24 am
seem to be coordinating with that. >> neville, would you agree or should fields be higher? >> i disagree. and even if you just look at the u.s. there is a strong case for yields to rise. if you look at the gdp print we had the other week, year on your nominal gdp is about 5%. of what'sat on top still going on, which at the peak of the cycle should create the impact of, the tariffs will likely create conditions in which we could see inflationary pressure build. deficitconomy, widening , policies that are inflationary even if we aren't seeing inflationary pressure. it's a strong place for yields to rise potentially quite substantially.

about foreign policy in saudi. and if you look at the point of view from saudi since we oil prices down, they had a big impact, they are trying to change their economy. this sort of news isn't necessarily something which could potentially help. it will be quite interesting to see if there's any impact from the point of view of foreign investors. >> definitely. neville, dismissing anything about the general nervousness in markets anytime we get headlines about trade tensions? >> that's probably right. given that we are still in a situation where you continue to see an escalation of trade tensions between the u.s. and china, i think the bilateral intentions are underway and that will deliver further uncertainty for market. but at the moment it looks as if it is probably unlikely to be
4:37 am
that significant in terms of troubling market. >> talking about commodities more broadly, what is your outlook given that we have seen oil outperforming while metals underperform? >> we have seen a drop but i think the answer to your western is in china because china is the world's largest consumer of commodities and old commodity producers have china as a number one x work partner and this is where it comes in two important because if the chinese are mindy were to carry on falling, the competitiveness of those commodity exporters -- today, when we had the renminbi on staple, that was better for the stock market and commodity if thers, but certainly renminbi were to fall that is bad news for commodities.

>> potentially also bad for emerging markets. i want to take you to the turkish lira. simply because we have seen it doesn'tcord low, there seem to be any specific reason why it is moving today but is weakness the general trend? weakness andainly the answer depends on whether or not we hear anything from the central bank. we know emerging markets are under pressure with the same concerns about trade wars and funding in the u.s. dollar. but some countries have their own domestic concerns about the credibility of the central bank but we wouldn't be down here and the market is testing the

assumption. >> ok. i understand you are saying you are focusing on the business and you have said that the numbers coming through today are fairly positive, but others might say your u.k. business is tough -- why is that when we are told companies are increasingly seeking shorter leases? >> well, the u.k. business is a huge business, for a start. parts of the u.k. business that are doing very well. we continue to grow the u.k. business with quite a few centers in london and throughout the country. it's a very good business in the u.k.. ist is causing the weakness some of the older stuff coming out of the network for refurbishment, the ones we want

let's kick it off with trade and tariffs, somewhat linked with this conversation. a rules tweak has made it more expensive to bet against the currency. that comes amidst rising trade tensions between the two worlds largest economies. president trump once again hit out against china over the weekend. president trump: sadly, i don't like this. the chinese market is down 27% in the last three or four months. i don't like that because i really like president xi. it is incredible what they have done. but they have done it off of our back. i have taken $500 billion a year for many years. we have really rebuilt china. we rebuild our own country now. nejra: joining us now is emma bryant at our asian news desk. are we really getting the sense

hits if it is to survive and push on in this trade war, if it appears it wants to do. matt: do chinese people appear to have the resolve to follow this through? it is much easier for them to deal with the trade surplus changing. emma: that is right. it makes imports from the u.s. a lot cheaper, which does cushion the blow a bit. this is a population that has dealt with a lobby for and is only exposed really to state media and a censored internet. the picture they are getting of this is this is an attack on their sovereignty. this is how it is being painted by the state media and the various ministries here, that this is the u.s. trying to blackmail them. that can only serve to galvanize people against the u.s. nejra: thank you so much.

trade and asia. john normand of j.p. morgan chase bank cross asset fundamental strategy. how much space does china actually have to keep playing hardball in terms of where its economy is at? now? john: they have a fair bit of space. the degree to which they are going to mitigate monetary policy is the driving force behind exchange rate. if they use fiscal policy to mitigate monetary policy, it will matter a lot. currentlyimportant is stability to the best currency currencyy -- is stability to them?
5:11 am

having an economy that is growing consistently above trend is a differentiation, and inflation is clearly positive or negative, the policy is quite outdated. so you get rate normalizations through hikes. that is kind of the bearish case with bonds, the bullish case with financials. a 56 months before it becomes a catalyst for the market. matt: it is priced in already, wouldn't you agree? at least one rate hike from the ecb next year is priced in. john: one is some of the this is the beginning of the rate normalization losses. -- process. one is not a sufficient pricing in of the inflation in, to me. nejra: where are cyclical it comes to equities? john: i would rather be in cyclicals.

to eventually see, matt, will the u.s. go through with the remaining $16 billion, a remaining $200 billion, and will china come back? matthew: you are right, it is very small, on the aluminum side, with has already been admitted, and the additional $34 billion. we do expect to get the additional $16 billion for most of the remainder of what they announced, $50 billion. we do expect them to escalate to $200 billion additional tariffs from the u.s. on imports from china. as you probably know, that is probably going to leave to a further escalation or retaliation from china. i think it is a close call. it is hard to know exactly where this goes. what we are taking from both sides is you need to see additional pressure to bring both sides to the table before we get a negotiated deal. nejra: right. i keep hearing from
6:12 am
people again and again is so far, this will not shake the fed, what will shake the fed from its rate hiking path? matthew: i think that is right. we have not changed our that expectations at all. we still expect them to hike in september and december. so far, they have said we are hearing from businesses that there are concerns, that there have been potentially some disruptions, but so far, we are not seeing data at all. if you look at friday's jobs report, there is no indication we are seeing in the data right now. the economy growing at 4% with a 3.9% unemployment rate and an inflationary target, you do need to see a big hit in the data to knock them off their current path. nejra: matthew luzzetti of deutsche bank will be staying with us. coming up on "bloomberg markets: balance of power," you do not want to miss it. 12:00 p.m. in new york, 5:00 p.m. in london. this is bloomberg. ♪ n.

6:17 am
luzzetti of deutsche bank and now geoffrey yu of ubs joining us from london. we already had last week mark carney the chances of a no deal brexit are uncomfortably high, but as our reporter emma ross-thomas and pointed out, she pointed out more like 20%, not 60%. what do you think? geoffrey: there will be something of a deal, some kind of arrangement. i think the markets are working what kind of deal it will become a hard, soft, or somewhere in between. we still have a few more months to go. matt: what is due to your -- the increasing likelihood of a no deal brexit, even if it is not your base case, what does it make you do as far as your investment, as far as being the head of the u.k. investment officer for ubs wealth management? geoffrey: i am concerned about
6:18 am
the pound of course. nuanced.it more the overall message, the ultimate no deal, brexit, no brexit, the pound valuation. a non-base case does come through, then we are prepared for adjusted lower, but we are talking about entry opportunity. i think we are fine with that message. nejra: geoffrey, what is the downside of brexit? you have to factor in monetary policy come in right now you can see the boe is not really in a position to be aggressive, is a medium or longer-term investment coming to take a multi-business cycle view, then probably they will be looking at entry levels already. you have clients are entrepreneurs thinking there will be an opportunity to get back at levels, that is a disturbing point of view, they will be looking for no deal as well. investment propositions.
6:19 am
nejra: what point could you reevaluate the u.k.? we are all hinge -- getting headlines coming through from an eu spokeswoman speaking to reporters in brussels at the eu is working constructively to reach a deal. is it a soft brexit that is needed? geoffrey: i think that conversation have ended already. it is a bit too late to think about planning for a soft brexit. but again, a lot of the clients space overseas, you know the rule of law, looking at the institutions, that means we u.k. will have the propositions for a long time. matt: matthew luzzetti, is there anyone in the u.s. giving this issue and he thought? at all ines it matter terms of fallout for the u.s. economy, for the global economy? matthew: i think it does.
6:20 am
i think certainly u.s. investors in global investors have so much on their plate right now thinking through what central banks are doing, thinking through how to think about the global trade tensions that are ongoing. the italian have political -- the budget deal that is coming up. there are a lot of things on investors' plates. the clients that i speak to in the u.s. are focused on the fed, our focus is more easily on what kind of trade deal we could get in the u.s. so it has not been at the forefront of their minds. matt: i wonder what you think about the possibility, and geoff, let me put this to you, for europe, how much does it matter -- obviously for the ok, it is a huge deal -- the u.k., it is a huge deal if you get a note deal brexit or a soft brexit, how much does it matter? geoffrey: economically and
6:21 am
politically, it is a different discussion. economically, managed expectation. it can be managed over the medium to long term, even when talking about the budget shortfalls, but politically, they are trying to old the line as much as possible. freedoms are indivisible, and that is the message from the u.k. that is where there is a gap. the eu will push to their benefit. nejra: did the bank of england make the right decision raising rates close to the brexit? geoffrey: the bank of england will say they will never precommitment and forecasting brexit. have the information that come up they made the call the do noid, but up ahead, harm, if there is uncertainty and inflation outlook stop some what there is no reason to push more aggressively,. you see that reaction in sterling already. nejra: what is ubs do on the
6:22 am
10-year gilt yield? geoffrey: it is going where global monetary policy is going. making a call on how much the bank of england or anything, for that matter, is willing to outpaced the fed. we have taken one already, but by 2020, it is more than likely they will need to keep a balance sheet stability, and they need to keep the treasuries. on a once level, i do not think anything wants to push -- any bank wants to push. nejra: i want to update that table has dropped 0.5%, touching $1.2935. you sort of moved on to the fed there, geoff. yount to ask you, matthew, were talking about a 10-year yield, the fact that it is struggling to break 3.5%. given the economy, should u.s. yields be higher? matthew: i think definitely
6:23 am
given where the economy is, given where the fed is some of the money on the balance sheet, and the increase in fiscal deficit. but you have the global forces that are taking effect. you have the boj with the policy, ecb has continued to do qe. in the u.s., there has been tensions on demand for the longer end of the car, which is yieldse, which has kept lower. you have less issuance in europe. so i think yes some of the economic fundamentals support higher yields. we are a little bit cautious on that in the near term, but we still predicts 3.5% by year end. back withill be geoffrey yu of ubs and matthew of deutsche bank are saudi arabia has halted diplomatic ties with canada amid a dispute over the kingdom's

of investments between these two countries, but the reaction, the saudi reaction was a little bit surprising to many. zainab, butising, what does it tell us more broadly about saudi arabia and foreign policy? saudis seem to be looking at the need for a more aggressive foreign-policy in the way the deal with other countries. they are drawing a line in the end and a in this our sovereignty that is being interfered with, this is a saudi citizen who was going to be going through a legal process in saudi arabia. they are looking at this as something that is very offensive in their statements, that seems to say this is very offensive . at the same time, this is not completely unprecedented, because the saudi's jakarta

6:32 am
taste. whether to short or not to short, i don't think they want a vicious cycle and everyone wants to go short. worries and the message on friday, we have plenty of ammunition. they have not used much. if you look at reserves, there is a lot more that can be done. if the market knows pboc has more ammunition to protect against weakness, are they going to keep testing those limits? to thee will be tests weakness, but it will be halfhearted compared to 2016, when we went above 7.
6:33 am
thing the pboc has is there wasn't that much in terms of capital controls loosening opposed to years prior to 2015. if there are attempts to short, they will be halfhearted. tariffse u.s. can put on more chinese imports than china can put on u.s. imports because of the balance of trade. the chinese can let the yuan devaluation keep things even. is that what is happening? >> in part, yes. it is not a coincidence use all chinese authorities announced tariffs the same day they rolled out reserve requirement
6:34 am
restrictions on the fx side. there is some substitutability between what is going on on the fx side and the tariffs side. it is important you see u.s. data has remained resilient. what we heard over the weekend and seen recently, trump is likely to put more pressure to push forward and we may see additional tariffs put in place. tariffs, dosee more we see more devaluation? if he puts tariffs on $500 , i amn worth of goods sure he has said that in the past, do we see the yuan going to 7.5 or eight? basis fors no

sustained long-term depreciation. there will be rhetoric on one hand and restraint on the other. people are saying use this reformnity to prompt domestically. the chinese premier was in germany. they wanted to fly the flag for free trade. there is enough domestic will to try to generate growth by other means. do you think the reform program is not at risk, even if we see growth slow? absolutely not. the priority is to allow growth to slow. we have not seen a collapsed to the threat -- to the fact it threatens the reform package.
