1:01 am
nejra: good morning, everyone, and welcome to "bloomberg daybreak: europe." it's 6:00 a.m. in london. here is what is happening in the asian session, a mixed picture across the regional benchmarks in asia. .25%.ia-pacific up about i put the 10-year gilts in the risk radar and we are staying above 3% five times this year we have gone above the 3% level and pull that but for now we are staying there. a four month high on the ten-year treasury yield is not that far off the peak we saw in may. not only have i been talking about the 10 year yield but also the front end because that is worth noting. we've seen some curve steepening , up from a 20 basis point handle earlier in the week.
1:02 am
so it's worth talking about the entire curve but the 10-year gilts very much in focus. crude oil above $71 a barrel, up .8%, a two month high wti following of fifth we could drop on inventory data in the u.s.. a lot of times we talk about the 10-year gilts and we ask about the impact on equities. we did see some gains on the s&p 500 yesterday that we saw banking stocks outperform with those rates rising across the curve. sawtek underperform a little bit. direction ofny whether we will see divergence from the nasdaq are the s&p or anything later. we are still talking about the wrist to the global economy and we will discuss trade wars as well. and our guest joins us for a first interview after midday u.k. time here at something to look forward to in programming later. firstget the bloomberg
1:03 am
word news. >> european and u.k. leaders have exchanged warnings that time is running out to seal an agreement on brexit. need to decide they can break the deadlock before the deal is due to be completed. european commission president jean-claude juncker set of brexit deal was far away. the u.k. prime minister said she still stands by her plans. >> i believe it is the right proposal because it maintains frictionless trait. it's the only credible and negotiable plan on the table. >> canada says nafta talks and washington are cordial and constructive but there's no indication a deal will be struck this week. time buteements take
1:04 am
both sides are committed to striking a good deal. back to you. welcome back with more first word news in just a little while. let's check on the markets and asia with juliette saly. i'm sure you have been talking about the 10 year yield. juliette: absolutely, we have been talking about that and more in asian equity markets. we are seeing some gains coming through, asian stocks up for a third session. the nikkei slightly higher by about .25%. it has been fluctuating and technicals are starting show
1:05 am
that the nikkei could be overbought. those rallies we have been , but broadly it's a good session for asian stocks. certainly one of the front runners in the region. let's look at some of the stocks we been watching, an interesting ipo in hong kong, a hot market for companies to debut that it's been hit in miss so far this year. but the food delivery company is rising on its debut, it had a $69,ng price of hong kong up about 5% there. also watching the airlines in hong kong, after jeffrey said perhaps the worst is over for that sector new look at the headwinds from the oil crisis. and brick works coming a little bit under pressure, off by about 5%. market fundamentals remain supportive with new in-house
1:06 am
construction in those key states. that could hit the property market in australia. is a much, juliette saly in singapore. this selloff in treasury has taken the 10 year yield above 3% for the highest closing for much yesterday. it reverses a small part of the relentless curve flattening this year pushing some yields to the widest levels in more than a month. one ceo said the recent surge is not getting enough attention, aboutng yesterday financial media concern. joining us is the head of asset allocation, i'm disappointed that jeff gundlach did not watch me talk about the 10 year yield yesterday because i had charts showing it. i have a brand-new one for you today.
1:07 am
this shows the 10 year yield poised to break in whole 3%. five times this year it has briefly gone above and then pulled back. of one trend points to the upper direction, suggesting we're going to hold. are we going to hold above 3%? >> we should go above 3%, for sure. acceleration any in economic growth. inhave a negative momentum the u.s. and europe and even in the chinese economy. so economic growth [indiscernible] no inflation, no economic growth, something is going differently as far as liquidity. central >> are you know and the
1:08 am
are supposed to inject less and less liquidity compared to previous years. it should continue over the long run. just to give you another target, u.s.,ect 4.5% in the which is phenomenal gdp growth. [indiscernible] nejra: what does that mean for other assets? you could argue the reason this time that tenure yield about 3% has not got much attention is the fact that we are still seeing money moving into em, the dollar has been a little weaker as well in recent days. as long as the 10 year yield doesn't pose a threat to other assets, we can live in -- live with it at this level. christophe: we deftly can live with it at this level,
1:09 am
especially as long as economic conditions are reasonably good for business for investments, especially for corporate investments but also for housing investments and for individuals. to keep the momentum in the economic growth and to avoid any shock on the economies for the all first but also for economies on the planet europe.g it's supposed to tighten monetary policy from the beginning of next or. china is a different story and different dynamics. saul central banks -- central banks will rip -- so all central
1:10 am
banks will remain really to economic growth. nejra: talk about the 10 year yield but we have to focus on the front end as well. the two year yield at a tenure high and you go short than that and see the money market yield continues to grow. how would you be allocating in a portfolio now? would you favor equities over bonds, do you like cash over equities? christophe: if you look at our tips relative to bonds, for sure we prefer equities. as long as we have rising interest rates, what you expect is a total return from the bond market. comparisonout it, no , we prefer equities first. haved, the reason to portfolios diversify, you need to have bonds including yes
1:11 am
treasuries just for protection reasons. it could come from a trade war or any political issue somewhere in europe. .hat you need is protection this is the role of u.s. treasuries. nejra: we have some breaking news, the japanese prime minister has won his third straight through your term as head of the ruling liberal democrat party. this sets him up to become the country's longest serving premier, having been in power for six consecutive years. before that, japan had five different prime minister's in five years. votes, the rival getting 254 votes in the ballot. so that's getting you through the numbers there in terms of what has come through, the winningf japan's abe
1:12 am
the ruling leadership election. so it got these results. you can follow this on live . you can follow this on live . prime minister shinzo abe -- 553 votesears and his rival getting 254 votes in the ballot. we will see if there is any market reaction to this, not really expecting it to be a market moving event. dollar-yen is trading pretty much unchanged. i just want to get your first reaction in terms of japan's economic policy and what this means if you think about that in conjunction with the boj. [indiscernible] what we are experiencing
1:13 am
don't forget japan was in a different environment. the idea is to keep the momentum positive, in positive territory for a while to anchor economic growth around 2%. second, the target that has been announced by central banks of achieve an inflation rate at 2%. 2%. been slightly above targetr to achieve the at 2%. nejra: our guest stays with us but joining us from tokyo is stephen engle to update us on these results. great to have you with us.
1:14 am
run us through these results and put them in context in terms of what we were actually expecting. stephen: it's better than expected for shinzo abe and better than the tipping point number given by ubs asset management. they were saying the number the chief challenger or the loan challenger needed to get was 270, which would be 33% of the vote. it would not have many prime minister but it would have likely undermined shinzo abe into his third term, three-year term and perhaps spell the beginning of the end. instead are getting shinzo abe getting basically 68% of those 810 votes. coming in that leadership vote from lawmakers and another 400 from the rank-and-file that had already been cast around the country. with theetty well
1:15 am
lawmakers. i spoke with one of those lawmakers earlier today and she it is not a time right now with such good economic prospects and growth over the last six years to change captains midstream. and will stick to the lobby the stronger mandate perhaps gives him a little bit more -- they will stick to abe. it's a revisionists -- revision of the pacifist constitution. nejra: tell us what this means for economics now. the opponent was more of a halt, he wanted more fiscal responsibility. he did not agree with the user monetary policy. this is a good thing for .upporters of abe
1:16 am
it's probably a good thing for stocks. i haven't checked the stock market in the last couple of strong but the abe mandate is very likely good for stocks. nejra: i contain what stocks are doing right now, i got these japanese indices right in front of my eyes. the topics is off by .2%, the nikkei lower by .25% right now. we are looking at pictures, that rulingzo abe winning the ldp leadership election, no doubt stepping up to the podium to give it speech following that victory. thank you to stephen engle in tokyo. coming up, today we hear a rate announcement from the swiss national bank, the south african reserve bank, and we will speak with the governor of the latter at 10:30 a.m. u.k. time. this is bloomberg. ♪
