major impact. francine: does it increase the chance of a second referendum? where does it avoid boris johnson? >> there are huge amounts of uncertainty around all those questions. have the conference coming up. the key is the labour party. they are still sitting on the fence. there could be a shift, and then there is a conference as well. so the other members of the conference are trying to replace may and give her more wind in her sales as she goes back to negotiations. she has a very slim working majority. of course, it has been uncivil. but we have talked about this about how fragile her company is, and somehow she has managed to survive. i will not be putting money that the government will fall.

4:23 am
what is the rationale for over to come in -- uber to come in? >> it is part of the diversification plan. he has got new text, he is investing in the middle east. there is even as well. -- e-bites. uber needs to find new space. and one way to compete is just buying opposition. francine: i-5 take away more than i should, and i know that in the u.k. and london, there are these services. why do they need deliveroo? is one better? >> i would not say one is better, but they have a very strong brand. while is strong in the u.s., they are incredibly dominant player in the u.k.. smaller, but they

thank you both for staying with us. against the concern is that a lot of top officials at the bank oncanada were debating whether to accelerate the pace of these potential rate hikes, they decided to stick with their current gradual partners. is that on trade, is the on fed, concerns about world growth? jean: i think trade is the key factor. ofhope to get a resolution the uncertainty on nafta at some point. i think it is a bigger deal than the actual format of the deal we are going to get. firms in canada have to make decisions on investment. do they grow their operation given the uncertainty and to try to get protection of what might be the outcome, or do they continue with the current plan? firms.eates holding back that creates a pretty challenging environment for the bank of canada because we are talking about the potentials of things to come.
4:52 am
it is not really happening. inflation is running at 3%. gdp an activity have been at a healthy pace. all of that would be suggesting continuing modernization. the fed now has passed the bank of canada. what is really holding back his trade and that can take different turns. i think there is a considerable amount of range of uncertainty about what the bank needs to do now. francine: how difficult is it to look at the implications on monetary policy of protectionism? we don't fully understand what the ramifications could be. jean: we don't understand them because it is not only a of theal story, but all global supply chain with mexico and more globally impacted by this. i think nobody really knows exactly how they're going to be working. i do think the uncertainty component of it is not knowing byctly what the deal is
4:53 am
itself the biggest factor right now. that is something that over the next few days we look at clarity and not to be constructive. margin, the adjustment we are going to see is something the canadian economy can cope with one way or another. the uncertainty could lead to people making permanent decisions that are significant. francine: lucy, i know you stock pick, how much does central-bank policy underlying everything you choose to do? how much do look at the fed? do.: we was spend a lot of time thinking about monetary policy because it is the most important underpinning factor for all asset markets. we do watch it carefully. thed curve is one of factors for how markets are going to behave going forward. if we do see more flattening, that is a signal for markets for next year.
4:54 am
francine: were you see the biggest risk for central banks? from the fed or ecb? jean: i think the ecb is pretty not autopilot, but i think we have a pretty clear path for the next few months, at least until summer next year. after that, i think they won't temper too much with the policy outlook. is in thee fed situation where we have a bit more uncertainty. we have conviction that they are going to continue with the gradual normalization, but we haven't seen the full impact of the stimulus. we think it is going to be natural headwind coming from this, but we don't know. there could be more inflation, and in that context, how does the fed react? that could have significant effect on the market. i think there is more uncertainty on that part. the headwind from fiscal --
4:55 am
francine: basically that it runs out at a time when the economy goes to a downturn. jean: we don't know what the midterm will look like, but if we have a democrat win, that could: to affect the longevity of the tax cut we have seen. call into affect the longevity of the tax cut we have seen. these are scenarios that could create more risk on what the fed might be doing on the back of this. hand, hower responsive will the fed be to the weakness of em? i think this is idiosyncratic, not driven by u.s. monetary policy. i don't think it is a key factor. if the pressure on him or to increase, it could lead the fed -- em were to increase, it could lead the fed. francine: thank you so much for joining us today.

go, one great bull market. next great leg in the bull market. the trend is your friend. francine: i have a chart which i have to thank hillary clark for. it is one of my favorite charts looking at the smart money flow index. the u.s. bull market is about a decade old now. the funds, which is what we have, don't tend to rush in right at the open when price is actually driven by emotions. this, andsting bit in i will push it out on social media, is that this question that this indexing is that markets finish strong whenever this moves in tandem. when they diverge, there is probably trouble ahead. since laster, it has slowly pulled away. the u.k. is promising fresh plans to break the brexit

eventually, they stay up all night at the end and the deal is done. i think it is interesting. i read all of the papers this morning as a bond investor. expectation is that there will be a deal in november and it will not be that dramatic. it is important that they're not going to agree a great deal. all of the future trading stuff. they're going to have to do that later. headlines in the theater, there is going to be a deal we think announced before the end of this year. francine: is that what is priced into the market? andrew: i think the market is probably pricing a higher outcome than what we would suggest. you have the status quo for the next couple of years and dramatic in terms of the economy -- undramatic in terms of the economy. there's a chance it all falls apart. that would have a significant macro impact.
5:07 am
our estimate would be that the market is pricing in the higher probability. more attention maybe to the theater. i think u.k. interest rate risk being underweight makes sense here. within the broad sense, we are back to school and back to september, back to business as usual. what is the vibrancy of london right now? london, deutsche bank talking about making london a branch. i don't buy it for a minute. how is london doing? andrew: i think london is fine, they can improve the traffic and weather. in terms of the city, a think there is a lot of noise. one of the car companies early on seem to get a lot of concessions. you have a lot of noise, but , whenou look at the banks you look at their net additions -- i think there will

be some fragmentation. i think there will be some banks that will have to hire people elsewhere in europe. the baseline is not a huge change to how european capital markets work. there is significant risk you have to pay attention to as well. tom: i like that francine showed the charts. this is a little bit like the guardian photo as well. i get it. the suits andn, ties and lonely prime minister may and all of that this morning. great, but how lonely is she? is this just theater for the media. something to worry about in september, or if i am an investor, george really care about brexit? -- do i really care about brexit? are an investor, there is a high probability of not a dramatic outcome.
5:09 am
uncertainty over the future trading arrangements, the macro implications, fairly limited. there is a risk case you have to pay attention to. look at all european negotiations. they stay up late at night and miraculously there is a deal at the end. to some extent, there is managing constituency. to some extent, the europeans may think that being tough, appearing nasty gives theresa may cover to seek a deal at home. i think it is fascinating as an investor. there is a high probability of an outcome before the end of the year, probably in november. although it doesn't answer very many questions. all of the questions about future trading arrangements are going to have to be sorted out. the cliff edge moves forward to 2020. francine: we have a viewer question that will brexit lead to -- in the short term?
5:10 am
andrew: i would say no in the sense that pushing forward, maintaining the status quo, there is no reason they should have a big impact on the economy. i think if you have a no deal breakdown, the u.k. walks away, then you have significant recession risk. over time, when we try and figure out what this should mean in terms of our long-term growth estimates, we can't find a very significant impact. as long as you avoid the sudden , i think probability the macro economy continues on the path we have been on. the uncertainty is not helpful. i think this big uncertainty is going to move on for another two years thinking about investment decisions, or if you are a city firm, thinking about where to be based is not helpful. us fromrew is with pimco.

5:15 am
later. i have on important -- an important opinion piece. right now, we want to dive into the sinking of the people of china. freya has some legit experience of the living in beijing. you have an exceptionally important thought in that china has the ability to neglect their households. does the president completely underestimate the ability of the chinese to just wait him out with sacrifice? it is obviously a very different political environment. i think the situation of the chinese authorities has been complicated a great deal by the appearance of swine flu; on the agenda. that will hurt consumers quite a
5:16 am
lot. actually, the chinese authorities are very much aware in a way that they have not been previously of the damage the import tariffs due to their own consumers. following tariffs last year with a further round of july, we now hear them talking about making more widespread cuts. there are really going for this transition towards either consumption. whether they will make it or not is a totally different question. the whole trade war issue is kind of a roadblock for that. they certainly, in the most recent response have been very 5%-10%d with only tariffs on goods compared to mr. trump's. we really see the chinese authorities, it is almost like a role reversal that the chinese
5:17 am
authorities are recognizing this could be damaging to their own consumers and a way that mr. trump overtly has not done. tom: a soybean former in iowa can protest, i get that. can someone protested china? can an industrialist two hours west of shanghai, can they protest these tariffs? freya: they probably could, but we might not know about it in the same way we would as the iowa soybean farmer. i heard your clip therefore mr. trump before i came on. maybe the reason why farming has been better recently is because of chinese stockpiling of these soybeans. back to your point ahead of those tariffs, your point about whether we would hear any processing -- protesting in china as the way you could and the u.s., the chinese have
5:18 am
stopped publishing the data on the number of riots and protests that they use to publish previously. they stop doing that a while ago.it is not related to the tariffs . we wouldn't know about it in the same way. that said, the chinese authorities do have to respond to some extent, it is just not the same kind of electoral cycle we are used to in the u.s. or europe. francine: when you look at china, do you worry that slowdown is so deep there that it will continue into the emerging markets and changes your outlook overall about fixed income? andrew: the baseline is no. we think that you have the new tariffs, a measure chinese response that is more or less the end of it. forecast,se, in our it has a small impact on chinese growth, but not big enough to be significant fofrom the market perspective.
5:19 am
you have a positive and negative risk case. the negative risk case starts to have an impact. mayshort asian currencies extend, there are better ways to do it. there is an upside case. we think with donald trump there is some element of fear. he may just declare victory and get rid of the tariffs and say on tv or twitter that everything is much better. there is an upside and downside case. the baseline is worth a couple of tenths, but not a big impact. tom: thank you so much. . an important conversation in the 10:00 hour. i was beat to the dean of the columbia graduate school of business. exceptionally important conversation for trump

jgb'snk is accumulating the slowest annual pace in seven years. ands get back to freya injure. -- and andrew. be one of theg to economies that will save us from a downturn three years from now? : i would answer that as a categorically no. i think there has been some decoupling of the japanese economy from the external environment as we are speaking, in the sense that the economy seems to be changing lane from the business side of things which is very strong still in q2, but the wage growth is now finally showing a sustained uptrend. for the first time in a very long time-uptrend in wage growth. that to help private consumption, probably not in q3
5:25 am
because we have a higher base in q2. they do have that driver in a way they have previously. i say that is just a function of the fact that we were in a very strong external environment, and have been for a while in china providing a lot of the strengths there. there are currently -- the recovery we have seen in japan has been led by trade activity, which has caused a tightening of labor markets. that has led to the situation we are in at the moment. fordld look to japan coming jobs down by the rest of the world rather than becoming a savior or provider of real growth. the part where i would be more worried about things is on the financial side. in that case could be a catalyst for any kind of asian financial eruptions we might be seeing their. francine: what is your take on jgb's. andrew: we think it makes sense

safely. francine: how worrisome is the current outbreak in zimbabwe? minister ncube: the cholera outbreak, we are containing that. million.aised $29 we are raising more from our partners, both internal and external. we have launched a crowd fund domestically, our contributors have contributed. i am pleased with so far how this has progress. resources but the response has been phenomenal. the response by government. tom: let us have a question from dr. hooper. fed, we were talking about the fed raising rates, at what point are you
6:48 am
concerned, tom asked me at what level of 10 year yields, would become a pressure point for emerging markets? if the fed gets to 3.5%, is that worrisome? minister ncube: that is. means that hardening monetary policy in the u.s. would be worrisome. we wanted to stay where it is. the u.s.e are using dollar as the dollar strengthens , that hurts our competitiveness in terms of exporters. a stronger dollar is not good for zimbabwe. peter: as you noted, most of the issues are idiosyncratic domestic issues. at what point does it become

6:50 am
and so forth. tom: this is where i wanted to go. the theme has been the broader concept of eurasia and the idea of the chinese continued expansion and investment in africa. we remembered, 10 years ago, when china bought a lot of cobalt. with hissident trump, foreign policy, creating a point where china has every opportunity to capture african commodity assets? minister ncube: the chinese investment has been welcome. chinese invest everywhere, including the purchase of u.s. treasury bills. the issues where african countries can negotiate better deals for themselves and control the level of indebtedness.
6:51 am
it is an additional source of capital for africa. in terms of global capital flowing into africa, africa cannot expect as much foreign aid as taxpayers in the u.s. and europe are put under pressure. investment from china is welcome but africa must negotiate better deals and get a fair deal for any investment in any sector. francine: do worry about a slowdown in china? minister ncube: not a slowdown. our prognosis is that global 6.5% is adequate to support the flow of investment into africa and support global commodity prices that impact africa. i'm not worried about that slowdown. we are going to do what we

call the single best chart. we are going to go to -- this is the bloomberg dollar index. it is capturing much of em dynamics, with a big 2014 move and then we go to points of stability and i think, this caught a lot of people by surprise, this dollar weakness. we talked about this before. and does it mean for em zimbabwe? peter: if you extend this going forward, our sense is that the dollar is going to continue to weaken against the advanced economy currencies. , which are em sensitive to fed tightening, you're going to see things going the other way.

the dollar will go up. , how does theis em respond? minister ncube: we talk about the impact of macro policy on economies but also on development issues. u.s. is some focus on the and the dollar and monetary policies globally. any weakness in emerging markets is going to cause trouble, especially in argentina, south africa, to mention a few. for thel cause concern imf. francine: i want to come back to trade tensions. , andere was a trade war escalation of the tension between the u.s. and china, what impact would it have on zimbabwe
