1:10 am
are we getting overly excited on the possibility of low level talks, chris? chris: i think we potentially are, manus. as you said earlier, the people the u.s. are sending into to the trade discussions are not particularly high level, and as we've seen time after time in these discussions, the power lies with the president. he dictates the agenda with all the other parties, whether it's where,turkey, as far as we are not seeing trump playing at the talks at this stage. anna: what does this do to your investment strategy around china? where do you stand on investments in china? we will talk more about emerging markets, but it's interesting what this chart has shown. was listingagues

reasons to be cheerful about china. trade talks perhaps will materialize at the into the month. the pboc is supporting the economy. a number of reasons he says to be more positive on chinese stocks. chris: there's always reason to be positive long-term on chinese stocks but the short-term data is not that great. the activity data is not particularly positive. in terms of longer-term position, we need to ignore the short-term and say where -- we think investing over the medium-term is a good thing. we see managers looking for
1:12 am
opportunities at the low levels. one of the conversations we had is what is driving emerging markets, is it the fed, is in china? this is emerging-market stocks back in bear territory. we make it a little bit of reprieve on this. we had a conversation yesterday and it's strident, forthright views, this is your opportunity, by the lower levels, it will give you a much better rate of return in the medium-term. stocks are in a bear market, but the fx is only down 2%. how would you look at it in a bear market? think you're right, share prices the emerging markets have fallen quite a long way. which does means there is more opportunity, there is still a lot of earnings growth coming through from stocks and emerging-market countries.

1:19 am
someone think about their actions and their behaviors. it does have that the potential to impact and change behavior. that is your bloomberg business flash. manus: juliette, thank you very much. turkey's getting some outside help. qatar plans to invest as much is $15 billion in the country. with the diplomatic standoff in saudi arabia, meanwhile the u.s. in turkey remain locked in a stalemate. the trump administration set the imposition of retaliatory tariffs against the u.s. were a step in the wrong direction. i middle east manning -- managing editor is here. 15 been dollars, is not going to be checked, but it's the sentiment about investing in standing by your neighbor. >> it's a search for allies.
1:20 am
back then there were huge efforts to isolate qatar. who came to their rescue, we had turkey, closer ties with iran, and more than a year after that, qataresolve jumps to turkey's eight. one of the interesting things in thestatement that came from company site, the 15 been dollars are coming in profits, investments, and deposit. so they're trying to figure out exactly the divisional component. anna: we wonder if any other countries might step up. what is china going to do? iran.even we wonder about that. what do we know about the $15 billion in how far it goes in turkey?
1:21 am
we don't know exactly the details in terms of timelines or when they're going to deliver the money. we trust that turkey's economy is strong. don't forget that qatar has investments in turkey. interest inve an propping up the turkish economy aside from politics. you mentioned other countries and you mentioned iran. one of the things that came about in the last few days is that turkey said is not going to support secondary sanctions on iran. it means that perhaps iranian oil experts will continue in a afterperhaps higher even november. manus: a message from america, no a letter from the president, but a step in the wrong direction, that's the message from america.
1:22 am
we seem to be moving further apart, not closer to discussions. >> there are no signs that this is about to let up. it's a question of how turkey can weather the storm without perhaps taking the action that investors are asking for, which is fundamental issues. and maybe try to negotiate resolution. manus: thank you so much, always on top of the story. anna: let's go back to chris ralph, he still with us here in london. then there's the contagion, is this something that raises red likes to you about emerging markets are have you been through line by line the emerging markets? what are your fund managers
1:23 am
telling you? chris: the contagion risk is a big thing in people's minds. it's not considered to be a major global equity problem at this stage but it's considered to be a bigger problem, as we were just describing earlier in the conversation, markets are 20% cheaper looking than they were in january. it means the fund managers will be looking at those opportunities. we've got to see where it goes and what it means in terms of the european banking exposure which is considerable in turkey. manus: the one thing that caught my eye with this. we put it into a graphical format. the central bank has not physically raised rates but they squeezed the repo winter -- window. they doubled the one-month
1:24 am
implied volatility. we're talking about rates at 35%. in talking about argentina and indonesia. are there more to come? chris: the situation in turkey as we just described is particular to turkey. we are obviously seeing problems in argentina but that separate to the global contagion risk. i think what we will be comforted by, as your correspondent was just describing, is the qatari move followed by other countries seeming to support turkey in saying we are behind turkey and we want to stabilize the situation. the other thing that strikes me about the adjustment in the repo rate is that we know erdogan is not a fan of publicly raising
1:25 am
interest rates, and therefore doing it through the technical measure of using the repo rate seems to be a way of trying to protect the currency in turkey. seeingome say we are interest rates go higher and capital controls being imposed. are seeing these things behind the scenes. are you concerned about emerging-market governments having too much control over interest rates? concept intively new the global economic scale of things. thes: he comes back to protectionist and populist agenda and where it control is being taken back by governments. it's not just in emerging markets. president trump has been vocal about how he feels the federal reserve ought to be acting. but erdogan in particular is
1:26 am
saying he's not a fan of the central bank of turkey raising interest rates for turkish consumers. manus: chris, before refinish on this, are you seeing any redemptions? have you heard any redemptions called in the market? street? of it on the sign: we have not seen any exitingar fund managers shares spirit is more likely they will be adding shares are adding to their positions. .nna: thank you, chris ralph he stays with us a little longer here on "bloomberg daybreak: europe." will have the latest on the commodities sector. we see copper rices bouncing a little bit but we saw a big fall yesterday, down by 4%.

1:38 am
i think of some of the monetary's jimenez i referenced earlier -- monetary stimulus starts to bear fruit, then i can imagine the commodities sector would turn around a bit. you mentioned earlier that some people are seeing this as being a good buying opportunity for some of the commodities. preference is to see some evidence come through before saying it's the right time to commit to commodities. new look at copper, you can see a lot of the dollar in there. what about demand, are we losing track of the demand side of the commodity story? , if fallen a long way golden it is as resilient as we thought it was. chris: clearly what's been pushing the copper price lower and other commodity prices lower
1:39 am
is sentiment rather than actual demand. we are not seeing damage i referenced earlier there were some activity data coming through from china that's a tiny bit softer, but it's not consequential to cause in the copper price that we've seen so far. anna: chris routes stays with us on the program. coming up, tesla is said to have received a sec subpoena over it ceos efforts to take the company private. it ended 2.5% lower yesterday. we will get the latest. this is bloomberg. ♪

1:46 am
right now. manus: let's talk about tesla a little bit more. the stock sank after the company is said to have received a subpoena from the sec over elon musk efforts to take the company private. the twist began last week when he tweeted that he had secured funding to do so. shares were below their pre-tweet price for the first time. bloomberg's detroit bureau chief brings that's the very latest. the musk has hired goldman sachs as his banker to take the company private. he tweeted this out and was in there whether it was a done deal . it's not surprising because theman took tesla public in first place, now they may take them private. they've also personally loaned elon musk a lot of money.
1:47 am
this is probably a good move by musk. to take itdifficult over the line and goldman is wall street's largest bank and they will have connections to get people to buy shares or cash out some of those who don't want to go private with the company and convince some of the others to go along with musk. may haveews is that he gotten a subpoena from the sec on his tweets about going private in the first place. i guess he's been looking into this -- the sec is looking into this to see if he had funding lined up. he could be in hot water because he could be seen as manipulating the stock. they made a nice gamble and it looks like they could end up making out on that deal if this move actually goes through because they would you cast out much sooner and at $420 a share.

swing. there's a lot of talk about maybe the bridge was badly designed. there are questions about the a callance and there is for the management of the operator to step down. the operator has come back and acted correctly and it has fulfilled its obligations under the agreement. that thet is a chance operator loses its license here? they were closed yesterday so they reopened in an hour and 10 minutes. kevin: the government has said it's looking into taking away the operator's license and exactly how that will happen, the extent to which it might happen remains to be seen. some of these things may have been spoken in the heat of the , sont after this tragedy the government will have to sit down and decide exactly what he wants to do with the operator. kevin,hanks very much,

joining us live from rome. chris ralph is still with us. what are your thoughts on how .ig this becomes clearly a dreadful event has happened, 39 people losing their lives. this is turning into a battle between rome and brussels. this could dominate the european agenda this autumn. the titans could be using this as a way of stimulating disagreement between brussels and rome, which ultimately may create dysfunction in the and if that italy leads to fresh elections in italy, that would not be perceived as being a good thing for the euro. talked about the strength of the u.s. dollar.

there are reasons to be cautious about the euro's prospects. these are the risk reversals at their lowest since 2017. just how low can it go? we've seen the dollar flex its muscles, that's undeniable. terms of a real challenge , where italy and germany could it potentially go? >> i would say that one could easily see the euro against the dollar, if there is usually negative sentiment against the , we get onto this agenda of countries disagreeing with the stability of the europe project going forward.
1:53 am
we had a couple of people talking about parity. anna: do you think that is on the radar? are you putting in a credibility on the idea? chris: i think that would be a really bearish outcome. that would be the euro in crisis if we got down that far. people are postulating this on the basis of what the crisis could look like if there were serious dysfunction between brussels and some of the peripheral european governments. u.k., let's turn to the and this is in the library. there was a cracking article written yesterday. we are getting levels where in dollar terms the london market
1:54 am
relative to the world market is at a level we have not seen since the 1970's. the skew against the u.k. is building. is that an opportunity or just a reality check? chris: i was on the program last month and i was saying some of the fund managers i'm talking to are really looking at the opportunity to buy uk's securities. u.k. companies are performing reasonably well. we spend a lot of time talking about starting weakness and a benefit for u.k. exporters. with the proportion revenue they gain from outside the u.k., definitely there are opportunities in the u.k.. i know you have an interview coming up with iain duncan smith
1:55 am
and i'm sure you will ask him about the prospect of an earlier brexit. you could see further economic weakness in the u.k. and for the domestically focused stocks, that will not be quite so good. that dealmy hunt said would lead to short-term weakness in the pound. do you think that could be sustained? i think it would be hard to imagine starling retaining the current levels if we went into a no deal scenario. it's not clear at all what the uk's trading position would be, how companies actually could trade with their european counterparts post a no deal brexit. so we could see the pound going weaker. it's either 50-50 or 60-40 probability.
1:56 am
manus: chris, thank you so much, chris ralph. take your opportunities where they come. he continues his conversation on bloomberg radio at 7:30 a.m. u.k. time, so stay tuned for that. let's get set up for the day ahead. we'll get the monetary policy decision from egypt's central bank. that will be an interesting one, given the inflation story there. and an investor call and that reassuring the markets, but will it? interesting that the 2018 earnings outlook is unchanged. it's all about the lira
