the countries could reach a deal. >> we are negotiating, they want to be a part of the deal. we give them until friday and we think we are on track. in any event, things are working out. nejra: meanwhile, justin trudeau has said his government is trying to reach an agreement but added that canada will not sacrifice its goal of getting the quote right to do -- deal. great to have you with us. the dealmaking continues in washington with canada. we have heard optimism from president trump, of course, their foreign minister saying a huge amount of work is left on specific issues. what are those issues? canada is less optimistic than president trump sounds because they have a few deal breakers. one is dairy products, and there is still work to be done

according to their foreign minister and trudeau. but the real issue, the real dealbreaker for cap, and this could determine the whole deal, is on whether anti-dumping will be resolved by panels. this is a big issue for canada. they have walked away from other deals where they did not get these panels to determine these resolutions and have said this has to happen. there is not clear language in the current agreement they hashed out on this issue. this could really determine whether or not canada signs off, either one has to blink. the u.s. once a deal to announce to congress by friday, so there is a tough deadline here. we will see if canada will sign off one of. nejra: a tough deadline.

if we do not get an agreement by friday, what happens then? the u.s. wants that agreement because they want to get it through congress, they would need approval. it is a midterm election year, so politics play into this. if they do not get it, it is unclear what would happen. a bilateral agreement would have a much tougher time and a loss of business leaders are very concerned about a bilateral agreement as well. they say that could disrupt north american supply chains, and they would much prefer candidate in the deal. we will see what happens, if canada does not sign off, if that means there will be another round of negotiations or if they will start over. that is why president trump is really pushing for his canadian counterpart to come to the table and to have some kind of agreement. nejra: bloomberg's senior international editor jodi schneider.

last week where investors threatened the trade deal between the united states and they will reach out to all of its trading partners in a similar way. i think that maybe the wrong view at this stage. there may be further escalation in the trade tensions between the united states and china. know, we haveyou the review of the proposed new tariffs on $200 billion of chinese imports. that review will be completed next week, september 5. it will be interesting to see if to theview will bring for the issue of potential further escalation in the trade dispute. theme permitse andmoves in the g10 space

rupee, they have exposure to china. they have certainly been following closely. you can clearly see that, if trade tensions come back, those currencies are likely to be vulnerable. strengthen the yen ? valentin: they have been torn between the abating risk sentiment and its exposure to china. past experiences have signaled that when we get to an escalation of trade tension, we get risk aversion, which is positive for the yen. so that is one currency that may hold its ground. nejra: stay with us, plenty coming up. argentina's president asks the imf to speed up payments and the peso slumps. we talk em next. zte reports.

ultimately derail the path of cautious policy that the ecb is on. view, it isint of not a significant negative. the economic outperformance we expect will justify such a normalization and should boost the outlook. nejra: ok. ballantine merrin of stays with valentin malikov stays with us. up next, we hear from the ceo of samsonite. this is bloomberg. ♪

it is still a nonzero probability event. since we are approaching the deadline and not seeing a concrete deal on paper, and it probably is increasing, it is right that we need to consider contingency plans, like france is doing but also other countries, but at the same time, it is important to realize we must avoid a no deal brexit. it doesn't benefit anybody. doesn't benefit the u.k. or the eu. we really need to try and sort it out. nejra: what would you call the 11th hour? would be the last opportunity that we could still get a deal at the end of this because the deadline is already being pushed back? maria: indeed. the 11th hour definition is not a fixed thing, that we had hoped that the summit in october would have been the last time, the last limit that we would need for a deal so that they could

then go to national parliament, be ratified, and back to britain after christmas. that seems unlikely. the next likelihood will be the summit after that, just before christmas. that is the ultimate deadline. nejra: speaking of the eu, we saw the pound rally yesterday on onments from michel barnier an unprecedented -- the pound dropped back reflate below 130. -- what to the u.k. be looking for? maria: it should be looking to stay at the current rate we have. mainly, trade can be as free as

the reason why a no brexit deal is not a good idea is because it would bring the economics back, both for the u.k. and the eu. if we are trying to preserve good economic relationships and ensure the economies grow, we have to stay as close as possible. what is difficult is what is under the jurisdiction that happens. brexit is are arguing we should not follow eu, law oil e.u. says we need to -- while at eu law says we need to follow it. nejra: thank you so much for joining us today. at next, britain's warning to brussels. the u.k. government says the eu must compromise or risk a no deal brexit. we will talk the pound next. this is bloomberg. ♪

sterling? >> one of them was the abatement of a concern about a no deal brexit. they will be working on it to get a deal as soon as possible. a lot of the move had to do with positioning. market is short. the pound is undervalued. the combination of all of these factors traded the move higher. nejra: in terms of where we are now, we are are just below 130 now, do we just come back down from here? : we maintain a relatively cautious fund. we are optimistic for this quarter.i'm happy to admit we may stay close to these levels awaiting waiting for more concrete evidence that progress has been made. ultimately, we think that the pound is heading higher. we are seeing a softer brexit on

the table. that may come at the price of an extension of the article 50 implementation down the road. there will be a of political uncertainty associated with that. we think 140 or 150 cannot be excluded. we are talking longer-term outlook.before that, the persistent political uncertainty , and certainly how brexit negotiations will progress from here will likely keep any bulls on the sidelines for the time being. nejra: 140 and 150 would be quite a significant rally. how would you time that? what are you waiting for and where the moments you would strike? valentin: odyssey, the summit will be the focal points. clearly, the october summit has lost significant, but you have

the november presume to summit, plus the december 1. the deal will be key. are we going to have a deal and whether that deal will involve our expectations of free trade agreements that will involve free trade, but will exclude services. ultimately, to preserve the irish border and be agreeable for the eu and u.k. parliament. that will be the signal for the bulls to step in and by the pound. november or december could be pretty interesting. these are the two summits we are focusing on. nejra: if we do get that soft brexit outcome you are predicting, what does that mean for the bank of england? do think there will be significant repricing in the rate market in terms of hikes? valenintin: to a degree. it is the case that most of the resilience we saw in the immediate aftermath of the eu

referendum was due to a sharp buildup and consumer leverage. in the meantime, that. buildup has slow down access to funding is still more expensive. damage has been done. the bank of england will want to aboutt the implications what the the -- assess implications will be. i would not expect immediate change in that view, of the immediate of start would be that ultimately remaining more hikes than expected at the moment, especially if the recovery in the economy on the back of that is swifter or more aggressive than expected by the bank of england. nejra: we have talked about your target for cable and eurosterling, what about the pound against other currencies? valentin: if you look at the pound against asian currencies, you can clearly see value there.

the pound looks very undervalued against the australian dollar and new zealand. at the same time, sterling swiss is another interesting, we think the swiss franc is quite overvalued, the pound is undervalued. one of the better trades we can have on a softer brexit outcome would be a long sterling swiss as well. the very negative swiss rate. nejra: a long sterling swiss on the outcome of the brexit. thank you. valentin stays with us. at next, hitting you high. how much steam do these equities have? we will explore next. this is bloomberg. ♪

valentin: the fact that tom's policies coming to a situation where rates will ultimately undermine demand for dollar denominated assets, we're not there yet. the longer term that is one of the reasons we expect the likes of euro-dollar to go higher, dollar-yen to move lower. interesting here is that the focus right now, the reason investors are buying dollar is u.s. growth. one of the things that makes us more cautious in the dollar outlook, is the fact that we may be dealing with peak divergence when it comes to u.s. growth differential. termsifferentials in against the boj. the u.s. economy has peaked in the second quarter of this year.

sorry, monetary tightening, we are seeing around the world, and the first traces of interest rates being higher, it is being seen in the part of those emerging countries that have the biggest current account deficits, the weakest levels of currency reserve and also the highest levels of inflation. that is the combination in place in turkey, argentina before, and we have seen markets not trying to spell it over to other countries but i think this will not be sustainable. there will be a point in time where investors -- the good, the bad and the ugly so to say with regards to emerging markets. it is not the selloff story for emerging markets altogether. there will be opportunities as well. nejra: d.c. long-term opportunities in those markets with strong fundamentals. where? is now the time to get in? martin: we saw the first signs

consolidate will rise significantly as regulatory requirements increase. problems for the european continent continue in the form of brexit. the u.k. has warned that eu it must compromise or risk a no deal exit from the bloc. we are pleased to say we are joined by felix hufeld , president of bafin member of the supervisory board of the single supervisory method. let me ask you about brexit. in terms of what you have seen from banks planning, are they preparing for a no deal brexit? absolutely. all the major banks, institutions across the world, whether yo u.s. or u.k. or japanese firms, are investing enormous resources. the full picture across the

whole of industry is slightly more diverse. more medium-sized and smaller institutions are lagging behind. the crucial institutions are investing heavily time and money to get prepared. nejra: could there be any winners from brexit and the banking sector? -- in the banking sector? well, every bank knows that if they do not have significant operations eu 27,shed in post-brexit, they will have difficulties to continue business in eu. they will have to relegate certain types of businesses. that is exactly at the center of all action being discussed with us as regulators and supervisors. nejra: what are the big -- one of the big questions is around contact -- contract continuity. should there be guarantee?

felix: that indeed is one of the major challenges we have. in my view, it is almost impossible to fix that problem exclusively just by one side of the stakeholder,. the industry itself or individual supervisors. i would rather prefer that regulatory or legislative solutions to fix the problem, we have billions and billions worth of derivative contracts, and to offertracts the necessary degree of securities going forward, there should be a solution on a political level. tom: wonderful to have you with us. i want to go back. my german fails me. i have got to get to babble. the word is, scale. everyone wants scale. the leadership of deutsche bank,

full-scale panic. jamie dimon once scale. everybody wants scale. define germanic european scale? felix: that is good to hear. why do they not do it? tom: why not? the will the banks do, pressure to build up, how is that going to unfold in germany and continental europe? are we going to see mergers? massive cost-cutting and consolidation? how do you get the scale that is not anglo-american? all, let me of point out a simple fact which tends to be overlooked. consolidation in creating scale is a fact of life in my country. betweenny, every year, 15 to 40 to 50 banks are going out of business by means of merger, year by year by year.

we have a consolidating industry. you are talking about major institutions to create what is commonly called, national or european sanctions, and creating scale in that environment. i'm sure it will happen. currently, you shouldn't underestimate the complexities of cross-border consolidation, which are massive. i think postcrisis, there is still quite a bit of homework to be done including major german institutions and other european institutions as well. the market will sort it out. we as supervisors will stay very close by. tom: well said. within the supervision, is the sense of regulation across continental europe. is it every nation and every regulator for themselves? or can there be a consolidated and united regulation within europe? felix: absolutely.

regulatory, meaning legislative level, most financial and banking regulations, the same would be true for securities and insurance. it is now european law. the degree of fragmentation has decreased, which is a good thing. operational supervision, as you know, since the end of 2014, has been moved up to ecb, which is mentioned before, i am proud to be a member of the supervisory board. the actual application of regulation by means of supervision has elevated to a european level which will promote a more unified european marketplace. let's not underestimate the complexities going along. what has been achieved within four years is massive but the next 10 years will be interesting as well. nejra: to that point, and the single supervisory mechanism, we

are expecting big personnel changes. how is the focus of the ssm going to change? felix: no. most certainly not. frankly, i do not think there triggeredbig shift, by a change in the role of the chair. we will have a new chair as of january 1. the challenges and the agenda is well carved out by the supervisory board. we have a clear strategy how to on reducing risk, reducing nonperforming loans in particular, will remain high on the agenda. ,or the industry going forward the answer is, no, forget it. nejra: you have said before that you have been concerned by any contagion from italy. in terms of turkey, big theme,

e.m. this week. should the ecb order banks in europe with turkish exposure to hold more capital? we are engaging with those banks, having the highest exposures the turkish risk. we are talking to them on a continuous basis. mind whatde up our the reaction should be. short-term, i would doubt that increasing capital requirement would be the right answer. we are closely watching the situation and we will sort out measures in close dialogue with institutions most concerned. it is too early to tell whether capital increases would be the right measure or possibly even sharpening the situation. tom: thank you. bafin president.

martin, maybetly, you do not want to talk about regulation on banking. that would get him in trouble with blackrock. he can talk to us about the investment strategy of global finance. are we heading toward global scale in every industry? investment strategist, a global roll up can be part of the scene. martin: we are seeing that the world has moved closer together ad buy that, there has been need of scale in many industries. there are certainly industries that are still locally confined but that is probably the exception. you were touching upon the banking industry before. we can see that there is a lead off of more global approach and scale and size, referring to the german case, the peculiarity of the german banking system, the

savings banks are so strong and the corporate banks are so strong, so we have big networks outside of the private banks, commerzbank, deutsche bank and the others, that dominate the industry. they are consolidating. when i started my career in banking in the early 1980's, they were consolidating for quite some time. this process has been ongoing for several decades and it is still. it will continue in the future. germany is a particular case here. tom: i am watching lira unravel to 6.63. are we going to see the western world, developed nation banking combines, acquire troubled e.m. banks, or have they done that enough times with a know it doesn't work? martin: it might be too early to say that it will not work. hope inhere has been

expanding reach to subsidiaries, the ones they purchased in emerging parts of the world. in some cases, it will develop better than in others. now what we see is certainly a lot of pressure on banks in countries, as i was saying before countries with strong current account deficits and turkey alone has debt running up over the next 12 months in the ballpark of $150 billion. there will be pressure. tom: this is a wonderful conversation. thank you. we will continue. david westin will continue with the interview of the day, mr. buffett, the gentleman from omaha. this is bloomberg. ♪

consolidation and resumption of the upside trend earlier this week after turkish officials following the holiday last week, failing to reveal new measures that could restore confidence among investors. it still remains vulnerable. tom: you said it was parabolic. this could get mathy. the idea is, it is acceleration. are we getting into parabolic or accelerated moods, which means that institutions will have to step in, like imf, like aren't argentina? piotr: turkish officials have not done enough to restore confidence. this upside trend in dollar-lira, which has been in place over the last few years is accelerationit is on the upside of the underlying trend.

it couldr to assume set another new high as the bulls have not given up and turkish officials need to restore confidence, allowing the central bank to raise interest rates quite substantially on september 13. this will have to be accompanied by fiscal tightening. the turkish economy over the past years has been driven by fiscal stimulus, led to double-digit inflation. finally, ankara should make efforts to ease the nomadic tensions with washington. those three issues, unless they are addressed, the path of least resistance for the lira, for the dollar-lira, is going to be on the upside. nejra: great to speak to you. if the strength of the dollar is showing up the fault lines in

emerging market fx, which em fx would you be buying from here? piotr: the dollar is still in a bullish mode. we have adopted a bullish view on the dollar early this year, after the fed indicated it intends to keep raising interest rates this year. at the same time, other major central banks like ecb and others remain reluctant. the interest rate differentials continue to widen in favor of the dollar and this causes pain across em. in addition, we have the ongoing trade war with china and the u.s. we expect dollar to remain strong against the vast majority of emerging currencies, at least for the next few months. nejra: how much does the underperformance in emerging market equities against u.s.

equities feed into emerging market fx weakness? definitely an interesting correlation. around the middle of this year, u.s. stocks have started significantly outperforming em stocks, as investors shifted afterl from risky assets, trade tensions between china and u.s. escalated, in favor of u.s. stocks. in addition to the ongoing trade war, u.s. stocks are also supported by robust economic activity in the u.s., as witnessed in q2 gdp growth yesterday. em assets will continue to underperform u.s. stocks and as a result, the selling pressure on em currencies is likely to prevail. nejra: thanks.

great to have you with us. martin, still with us. how is strong dollar in the path of the fed driving your cross asset global allocation? martin: we look at it from the standpoint of the fundamental data. there is one thing, the u.s. trade relation on the one hand, regarding different countries, that the u.s. as an economy has a trade deficit with many countries, so that needs to be filled. we need foreign currency buying, unless we see the trade being done in u.s. dollars, being actually carried out in u.s. dollars. the thing is, we see a strong differentiation between those countries that will have a strong performance in economic

fundamental data and those that are weaker. again, at this point in time, we can see -- there was talk of venezuela earlier, wheels of economic risk ongoing, political marks ining, question other emerging markets like the middle east, a lot of risk in turkey now -- we prefer in em exposure, emerging asia. tom: that is where i wanted to go, exactly. this will be a huge equity opportunity in the uproar. how do you research that linkage of fx and bonds, higher yield to, i want to overweight a certain em country in their stock market? all, this veryf much remains a story driven by fundamentals at the micro level, the company levels. our analysts look at performance

of the company's, the quality of governance and that has improved in emerging asia in recent years according to our analysts. aslook into the trade links well and this is where the currency impact comes in. there are some countries, some companies as well, which have stronger exposure and are more dependent on changes in currency, ie from a stronger dollar than others. this is where we need to draw the line, where the fault lines are and where we differentiate between under and outperformance of the companies we invest in. nejra: martin stays with us. coming up, interview with the credit suisse ceo. get up early for that. this is bloomberg. ♪

is this an interesting proposition given the weakness we have seen, equities for example? martin: this is still one of the better environments for european assets because mostly global investors tend to be more willing to invest in european equities when we are risk on. if we are risk off, they prefer u.s. generally speaking. having said that, in the equity environment, the growth in earnings is so much stronger in the u.s. partly thanks to the tax reform that we are currently overweight u.s. equities and a bit more cautious of the european backdrop. because there is a shift in the contribution to global growth compared to last year when the u.s. was closer to 3% whereas europe would probably coming nearer to 2%, slightly below, in terms of an earnings driver is speaking in favor of the u.s. and less in favor of europe.

nejra: plot you favor the u.s. now, what could be the catalyst to make you shift? martin: he could be some of the political issues being sorted out. brexit, the open questions in that regard, we have the question of, the italian budget coming up, uncertainty about the europe crisis. it has never been a way. it is still there. it needs to be solved. the talks between the german and french government in order to solve the euro crisis, or make the european integration story more sustainable, they could be a catalyst to make investors think more positively about european equities. is, what dostion you do now that cash has a value? as a chief investment strategist, do you have asset

allocation or a mixture you care about? are you high in the clouds? you do not care about clipping coupons this weekend? martin: generally speaking, we still believe the risk on environment and the level of interest rates we have still makes us believe it is a good idea to be overweight on real assets. on part of our clients, we get demand for real assets. there is a mix. it is a contrast to the past when we wouldn't think about real estate or other liquid assets, we are seeing a lot of interest in that, in that part of the investment spectrum. apart from that, we are still overweight equities with exposure right now focused on the u.s. but also, positive emerging markets. emerging markets are cheap. as long as investors are looking at this bracket of countries in an undifferentiated way, there are opportunities.

putting your money in comes back to the value trap of emerging markets. they are not a value trap? we were talking the other day in another interview about eu banks as a value trap. that is to be avoided, right? martin: there will be lots of jitters around these investments over the next couple of days and weeks probably. i think we will need to see some, in some countries, the stories will get worse before they get better. in others, we will see opportunities opening up soon, over the next couple weeks already. this is a question of the micro cases. this is where the analysts come in. they look into the companies, banks. they will give it a judgment and recommendation to the respective portfolio managers who will then decide where is best to go overweight and underweight. nejra: martin, staying with us.

the capital flows. nejra: when we see and e.m. fallout contagion, and at the same time you see the escalation of a trade war, what kind of potential duplications could that lead to? catherine: we've been looking a lot at whether or not the extent to which a global value chain collapse on the back of a trade disagreement, akin to its that is already being priced in our leading to different kinds of flows, whether or not those are countries that are more attached to the global value chains are the ones that are also the ones having the greatest capital outflows. we don't see a strong correlation, which is an interesting observation that investors are making a distinction between countries that are integrated with the global markets and are potentially exposed. on the other hand, have policy initiatives that can be put in place to protect themselves.

tom: good morning, everyone. let me turn to the bloomberg terminal. we got a little bit of calm in turkish lira. we just got a bid to it in the

last five or 10 minutes. turning at well, that weak spot this morning. jackson hole is beyond us. it is ancient news according to michael mccain. the parlor game of what they will do with interest rates. let's have a painful discussion herelet's have a painful discusn here about 2 and 4. i get september, maybe december. is chairman powell just a slave to the data? catherine i don't know if that is the right terminology. data matters, absolutely. how can you go forward with policy if you ignore the data? tom: of a crystal ball gazing too much? catherine:catherine: some of ths

that were brought up in the discussion in jackson hole were about the stars. navigating by the stars. i think the most interesting start to be thinking about these days is what is the right r star. the point meeting, what is the right interest rate for the market and real economy? i think one of the tensions we're looking at right now is may be different than the start that equilibrium it's the economy. the tension between what is going on in financial markets and the economy is one that is going to be playing out next year and one we are paying a lot of attention to. nejra: is there any argument that in this time of uncertainty, the fed should get a head of the data? catherine: we learned long ago, monetary policy is long

belagged. you always want to be a head of where you think the data is going. we are focusing a lot on looking es ine non-lineariti inflation. when does the labor market transition into -- when does the fact that you can push through price increases turn into everybody pushing through price increases? in have nonlinearities consumer price inflation. we are all looking for that. for.ow what we are looking we are looking for things that will give us some idea about whether we are near to that inflection point, that nonlinearity point, but you don't want to get a head of that either. be moving tooould fast, perhaps a little to matter

for the financial market. trauma on the financial markets translates into potentially trauma in the real economy. tom: this is too much. we have a banner on "bloomberg surveillance." that is nonlinea. it doesn't get better than that. nejra: catherine mann stays with us. we can talk more about stars coming up. theresa may holding a bilateral presser with the kenyan president in nairobi. the third stop on her three country trip on the african continent. she has been saying she wants the u.k. to enhance global trade relations post-brexit. this is bloomberg. ♪

tom: thank you so much. catherine mann with us of citigroup. we will dive into one of her core research thoughts which is our behavior around trade. inht now, stanley is washington. you know him from his work on the debt and deficit for years. policy rightiscal now. are we going to have a government shutdown? telling readers that there is about a 66% chance. it all depends on donald trump. wat=n't think congress once -- wants it. is his one big chance to take control of it in late september and early october. a 60% chance.

we have a budget office that has a 2% run rate of the american economy. i know the president is going to push against that, but as the cbo -- i was actually valid numbers? stan: they are for the first five years or so.as you get further out, 10 years or 20 years guesswork based on a straight-line extrapolation. i don't think you can take the net seriously, but cbo has a better record than the office of budget and management does. their job is to get the numbers right, not to protect the president's behind. i would take there's over the office of management and budget almost any day. nejra: great to speak to you, as always. you also talked about a textbook definition of political and political and

legislative chaos. how do we get out of that? stan: for the short-term, you're not going to. we are going to go through up session ofed congress and which republicans may be losing their majority. about 10 or 15 republicans who have lost their seats won't return to vote or won't vote faithfully. if the democrats win, the chances are it will be a narrow majority. i think we're probably looking at two years of legislative chaos. maybe nothing much happening in the absence of a crisis that gives politicians the right to move from their established positions. in the unitedee states any change from the current political levels. if anything, they're going to get worse, not better. nejra: what does that mean for the fiscal situation? stan: it is going to get worse. trillion dollar deficits are here to stay. there is an economic downturn at some point over the next five years.

we are talking about a congress and president that are largely going to be paralyzed in terms of what to do. this is going to be a new normal for the united states. we're talking about permanent trillion dollar deficits. llance"is is what "survei is all about. with us is catherine mann. everybody ignores the g dynamics, the partial differentials. does anything in the world matter, or is it like politicians where does that play into the american economy? catherine: the g matters tremendously. we're looking at it making a huge difference both on tax and the spending side for the u.s. economy. profits.into maybe some of it falls into conception, but it ultimately is

a very important power to the u.s. economy right now. experts, do they factor that in now in the short-term or do they look beyond that as mr. colander just said to the chronic nature of trillion dollar deficits? catherine: right now, they are focused on short-term gains coming from both the tax cuts and spending. that is what we are seeing. i think we are seeing that reflected in a market dynamics. we're seeing it affected in the activity.t we are seeing it in low and employment rights but also high profits. rates, but also high profits. are the markets taking about 2020 and beyond, and the implications for what might be interest rates and so on. i think they're probably not discounting that correctly.

if they are not -- stan: one of the bigger problems here is that these trillion dollar deficits are going to make it very difficult for the u.s. to look at new policy initiatives. we have a retirement crisis coming. we have infrastructure issues. those are the things that are going to be difficult and health care for the united states to address given the deficits already there. we had those issues in terms of health care and social security going into this round of fiscal spending and tax cuts. we doubled down on the idea that somehow this government approach can power the u.s. economy's potential and increase supply enough to make good on those commitments to the older generation.

i think the evidence forever has been that that is not the case. that you get a demand surge. this is a good thing. there are going to be some benefits. there are definitely technological benefits. we see that in terms of capital expenditure for firms right now. the notion that it is going to pay for itself is not the case. iscan also observe already, that the tension between the older generation and the current generation, the current generations are not moving along andr expenditure patterns household gains and incomes like earlier generations did. younger people are going to be the ones that have to pay for the older people. there is a commitment there, a social contract there that is not going to play out well. nejra: i am loving this conversation. you were hinting earlier that markets are not really pricing things correctly after 2020. how should they be shifting those expectations?

catherine: i think the issue is that we have pulled forward to the present the benefits that are in the real economy, but also in the financial markets. everybody is sort of taking the good times right now and are saying, there will be bad times in the future and we will deal with it then. we will make a different bet on the future when it comes. that kind of approach is not dissimilar to a financial markets have a tendency to do, which is to take a short-term view. tom: stan colander with us. we will continue with catherine mann. what a headline this is. a perfect headline to continue this discussion. european union willing to scrap car terrace in the u.s. trade deal -- tarifs in the u.s. trade deal. we will talk about that with dr.

tom: good morning, everyone. "bloomberg surveillance." i'm tom keene in new york. nejra cehic and for francine. of china asoncerned a threat to america. catherine mann, on any number of trade fronts, she has been a academics.a trade

i was in a room with michael rosenberg of bloomberg, you could hear a pin drop 15 years ago as you laid out a theory of this function, of the behavior of china and the u.s. , withs the trade-weighted a leveling out in the last three years. up, up. function likes the dysfunction you canonized 15 years ago? back then, the economics between the two countries was more of a dysfunction. right now, the politics are .enerating an economic dysfunction i also think what is happening between the u.s. and china right now is that the u.s. policies being put into place, and having them put into place in the government

spending and tax cut has made the u.s. economy stronger than most people thought. china wase time, undertaking a strategy of trying to clean up their financial sector, they were implementing policies in order to make that happen. it was expected to slow the rate of growth in the chinese economy. what has happened is that there has been collateral damage in the household sector with consumption slowing a lot as well. even as the u.s. has been stronger than most people expected, china is weaker than most people expected. you are stretching the economic differentials between the two countries. you add on top of that, the issues with trade. i'm going to steal from steve, which is on the labor arbitrage. we're looking at a between the u.s., china and mexico.

is it different this time in terms of those knocked down affects from a servitude of u.s.-china, china-u.s.? there are a lot more moving parts. catherine: this time around, the value chains are much more well-developed. the collateral damage for trade war's throughout the region are much more significant. the potential for protection this location -- production dislocation, much more significant. the stakes are much higher. not just for the two economies having the greatest tension, but there is no such thing as a bilateral trade war. not these days. everything is a matter of global value chains. any bilateral trade war turns into a global trade war right away. nejra: to that point about collateral damage in the yen asia, when i ask a lot of people what they would

select, a lot of them point to emerging-market asia. itself, not heterogeneous. is there an argument for that given what you just said about collateral damage? catherine: we actually have a very good report that was issued earlier this week that looks at the countries in the region and is lightweight those countries on how they are related to china for the global value chain, which ones are most exposed. not just the countries, but the products within the countries. it also violates which ones are best positioned to benefit from -- evaluate which ones are best positioned to benefit from production changes. the long-term response is if this trade production process. some countries -- persists. some countries will win as trade fromdiverted from sabine china to buying from vietnam or malaysia.

there are some winners in a trade war, but collectively, -- the magic of catherine mann is the m.i.t. and rigor and all of that, but you brought over the behavioral characteristic as well. the phrase i have been using is , which is my way or the highway. how does that play in china with years of experience? your decades of experience on that, how does beijing?eral play in catherine: i think we have seen and thee language of xi linguist coming out of the press in china that they don't want to be bullied. weightn't they just out

the guy? catherine: they can, but you would like to not have all the damage. weighting out is a damaging strategy. coming up with some agreement to reduce the tensions and figure is how to do this right preferable than having an implementation tit-for-tat. again, it is not just those two countries at risk here. it is really the global economy. i think we have seen that even in the context of the discussions in jackson hole and my other central bankers that they can't ignore this. tom: this is a monograph about thick,ck, which is -- which is definitive on the fears americans had about the trade deficit. if you wrote it today, is it sustainable? the trade deficit is

much smaller than it was back then. if we could find it to be sustainable back then, we can find it to be sustainable now. one of the points that that book made was that we need to think about sustainability on the real side as in reproducing enough and are the benefits of trade being widely shared, does it generate technology and productivity growth? also, sustainability on a financial side. the issue has changed in the sense that we are much more integrated financially. we have a much greater dependence, the united states does, on financial flows. we have a larger share of u.s. treasuries owned abroad than either by the fed, abroad by back then. issuesancial stability which were not a big deal back then, are a bigger deal now.

nejra: bridging the gender gap continues to be a topic of discussion. citi globalnn, chief economist. you are a perfect person to talk about this being you are one of the few global chief economist. catherine: as it turns out, the

two of them are really merged. when we do an analysis of macroeconomics phenomenon, we have to look at microeconomic data in order to evaluate where we are going with the macro. i think what we are seeing here example, how do we decide whether or not a financial market is potentially at risk? we're looking at microeconomic risk an individual flows and companies. microeconomic analysis is essential in order to get us to our macroeconomic analysis. we could imagine wages. we are looking at wages across different skill categories. we are looking at wages across different parts of the country. in tracking that, in order to evaluate whether or not we potentially are on that nonlinearity in the phillips curve. curve, a bigillips question of discussion at jackson hole. does the micro at this point give us any more insight into

whether it is broken and can be fixed? catherine: i don't think it is -- catherine: i don't think it is broken. it being fixed is a matter of how markets work. working together is going to be leading us into 2019. it is a matter of analyzing microeconomic data in order to evaluate the macroeconomic phenomenon of inflation. that is what central banks, in particular are interested in. across the board, the macroeconomic phenomena is what drives big decisions. it is the microeconomic analysis that gets us to understand, how is this happening? nejra: is the global economy and a dangerous place when the u.s. is out ahead and other economies are lacking? catherine: that has been the case for many decades is the u.s. as the global locomotive. it is interesting that we are in

that position again. the united states is in a position again of being the global locomotive. over the decades, there has been a question of, is the u.s. strong enough to be the locomotive when as a share of the global economy, it is not as large because emerging markets have become larger, and china and we euro -- europe has become larger. as a locomotive, we are powering the global economy right now. thank you so much. catherine mann of citi. coming up on markets, our interview with warren buffett. this is bloomberg. ♪
