we have heard that from others officials briefing reporters friday, that they know trump is aware of the short-term possible pain for u.s. consumers as more and more types of products are swept into this trade war. he sees it as possible short-term pain for long-term gain. trump's view is if he does nothing, the situation gets worse. i would say maybe wait for a few weeks until after the election. depending on what happens, if democrats seize control of congress, there could be a shift in the stands. rune is something that is by the executive branch. shery: there seems to be no talks or negotiations in the government, but china wants to talk to the american people

on your show. i think so. if you look at the announcements, trump putting on $200 billion of tariffs at 10%, that was about what the market expected. in terms of china's response, an additional $50 billion. because the market was pricing it, you saw equities rally last week. you also saw the u.s. 10 year at 3%. i did think the markets priced in. the outcome was better than what the market had thought you would see in yields and equities. shery: there doesn't seem to be much of a circuit raker. although chinese officials are saying we are putting aside the idea we get any talks until after midterm story is over, is that the risk event horizon? raymond: these talks will be after the midterms. tariffsthe 200 billion

will get people to talk. these are not small numbers anymore. half of the numbers are tariffs now. .hey will reach a compromise the solution has to be incremental and gradual. it is hard to solve decade-long trade agreements through changes overnight. you need to come up with a solution that can be phased in over time. potentially even longer if it is a war over power instead of a trade imbalance. i want to bring up this chart in the library. look at the role of the dollar because it has pulled back. we have not seen a correlating recovery in emerging-market stocks. more breathing space for currencies and stocks. this is painting a picture if you get the assumption, everything falls into place with the dollar right. the fed is on track to go this week. onbe another one this year

the table. what are your assumptions for the rest of the year? raymond: the greenback will continue to rally. we saw movement last week as a function of the trade with the yen. emerging markets, they are still in a lot of difficulty, turkey to fixned interest rates their economic solution, the market is positive. the u.s. dollar fell off a little bit. it is likely to hike one more time and a couple times next year. interest rate divergence will continue to play out and be supportive of the dollar going higher. shery: the interest rate differential is not reliable for ethics. how do you make sure you get the dollar call right? are you invested in currencies at this point? your point on to the u.s. dollar, you are right. the correlation can break down. we saw that early this year

where the u.s. dollar did not move. the coalition came back in the second and third quarter. we predicted it would be there on to the end of the year. with emerging-market currencies, we have not been involved recently. they are volatile. it is like catching falling knives and if you look at the peso, the turkish lira, they are very volatile. anyone who wants to get into em, i would advise them to do it and take a short amount of time. with the higher u.s. yield, telling us a story the world needs to be catching up with the u.s. strength. hope so.we what you want to see is emerging market fundamentals continue to get better over time. some of these reforms these countries go through, that can do these reforms fundamentally, you will see them go in the

right direction. haidi: if emerging markets are making people feel queasy are cautious, where you find the value? raymond: investments in the u.s.raymond: dollar space. two-year is very high right now. 10-year's 3.5%. you are not taking up too much. if you can get corporate bonds that trade at 150 basis points for the two-year, you can get investment-grade assets, which is not too bad. i like u.s. dollar corporate debt and high-grade. haidi: there was a surprisingly positive report with the macro .nvironment in australia the aussie dollar could actually outperform. we saw the s&p 500 change their trading. does that change your view? andond: it shows the aaa

negative outlook went from negative to positive to reflect the better fiscal budget situation. the aussie 10-year rates are one of the best. people are already buying that debt. it hasn't changed a lot. the key thing to focus on as most of us are showing is inflation in the kiwi. you will see the reserve bank start to be more positive. haidi: is the u.s. going to stay despite the divergence of the u.s. and the rest of the world even if we see another step in the trade war? raymond: i think so. if it becomes more serious, i would prefer other sit haven currencies like the yen. and with interest rates, it makes it -- put into developed markets to get that higher return with relatively low

volatility compared to other jurisdictions. haidi: the trade war is a sweetener for the dollar. appreciate your term. that's your time, setting up the start of the trading week. bloomberg users can interact with charts we just brought up. gtv . you can feature them on bloomberg tv, catch up with key analysand annotate -- an analysis and annotate. this is bloomberg. ♪ s is bloomberg. ♪

-- let's see more of what to watch. this story will be dominated by trade, hours away from the clock striking midnight. reporter: last week we saw the markets quite resilient with the latest tariffs announced. there was a view there was time for discussion, that try 5% was not going to be implemented. that gave both sides to -- time to come to the table. it will be very difficult this week with china backing away from the talks. that will bring the risk off sentiment back on. you already saw the aussie and the kiwi selloff this morning. and we have futures in hong kong and australia are lower. we had j.p. morgan come out over strategynd and say factoring in a space three of

these trade wars, in the event tariffs are imposed on all chinese goods, which will keep the chinese economy and especially the u.s. stock market . with china and japan out today, it is going to be fairly limited. zoom in ons australia, greatly affected by the u.s.-china trade war. the s&p has raised its outlook, now stable. give us a look why they have this vote of confidence on australia. andreea: that is right. on friday they raised the to stable. stable -- what it says it is confident the budget will return to surplus. most importantly that the nation will avoid a property crisis. we have got a chart from the gtv library showing the decline in

sydney property prices. another thing, it is not rattled by the revolving door of prime minister's we have seen in australia. we believe both sides are committed to returning the budget to surplus. and the assessment is very much in line with that of the central bank, the reserve bank of australia. the economy is going along nicely and waiting for the right time to raise interest rates, which the markets are not expecting probably for the next 12 months. haidi: our across asset reporter there. you can check out gtv library are some of the charts we show you on gtv on the terminal. on friday we reported raising australia's budget to stable from the negative label it had. the industry reaffirmed the aaa

sovereign credit rating. let's look at the recent hike this with anthony walker. some people might have been surprised that in an age of trade tensions and uncertainty and australia being one of the most vulnerable with regional and global trade, we had this upgrade. is a fairi think it question. it is important to remember why the negative outlook was put on the sovereign two years ago. it reflected more fiscal issues and concerns about credit growth and house prices could suddenly turn. what we see now with data and the fiscal balances, they see public news coming out so much that the government is pretty fourth surplus. we use a different number for our deficits. the whole of government, the states are undertaking record capital spending, $150 billion

over the next three years. without seeing the house price story play out, we are seeing an orderly unwind, house prices in sydney higher, melbourne decline but not sharp. that is why we moved it back to stable. haidi: is that sustainable? we believe so. the government and the opposition will at one stage get back to a surplus by the early 20 20's, and they think -- 2020's. the government hopes to turn the budget back to the black in 2020. is that your production? ours is slightly different. we believe they will get there by 2020. there could be some other news this year, but we look at the sovereign rating, we consider the deficits as well.

they are quite a big deficit this year, rolling up record spending. shery: how concerned are you with fiscal generosity from the government that is trailing in public opinion on gold? anthony: we are not overly concerned. we think in the lead up to the election there will be more announcements, but they are committed to the return to surplus and any potential new policies or announcements will be offset by other revenue measures or savings. haidi: how much does dysfunctional leadership shenanigans in canberra where you, if specially the hint -- especially long-term policymaking? anthony: we have taken a view on

that. we believe the government in general is committed to returning the budget surplus. we have seen quite a few leadership changes. this is the fourth one since 2010, but the party politics remain the same. the new prime minister, he was the former treasurer. he is instrumental in this turnaround in the fiscal position. haidi: he may not be permitted to for long if we see a new change of government to a labor government. what that revise your outlook? we don't believe so at this stage. we will see what they do, but the opposition will stick to our rough motto, returning the budget to surplus by the 2020's.

shery: welcome back. i am shery ahn in new york. haidi: i am haidi stroud-watts. turning to oil and the question , it seemsrices go opec will not be moving in the direction president trump demanded last week. we have more on how the ministers managed to sidestep the urgent tweet from the president. say.elicately some would others say it was a snob. they are not -- snub. they are not going to immediately address the price of oil as trump asked last week.

you are looking at west texas intermediate, the oil used in the u.s.. it is up to $72, but check out brent oil nearing $80. that is what caused president trump last week to tweet out the opec monopoly must get prices down now. opec decided not to do that. saudi arabia and their allies signaled less urgency was needed and stopped short of promising extra volumes of crude. let's look at what the saudi energy minister said. their plan is to meet demand. the reason they didn't increase more is because customers are receiving all of the barrel they want. that is the message that appeared to come out of the meeting in algiers. the market is well supplied. in july and june, president trump put out his last tweet. he got an about-face.

there was a boost in production that pleased the president temporarily. it did not keep the price down. prices have gone higher. does opec have the willingness or ability to boost prices lower, and secondly, there is a question what president trump might do this coming week in terms of tweets about the price of oil. is atl market in general a vulnerable point in terms of direction. that will keep the focus on where oil goes with brent and here in the u.s., west texas intermediate. shery: joining us now from sydney is anz commodity strategist daniel hynes. great to have you with us. take why weg us her could have seen opec this time around not act on president trump's demands. what are your thoughts on what

has changed since then? there is many dynamics, but the underlying issues around aowing supply are certainly lot more difficult than people suspect. clearly russia has been increasing output recently, but within the opec group itself there is certainly difficulties around pushing or increasing the amount of crude requires good -- requires. -- required. there is difficulty run increasing output but they are of fine line around managing the market and expectations around demand as well. the trade war i suppose is cloudy that outlook -- has cloudy to that outlook -- cloudied that outlook.

you have concerns around demand. outlook.ery mixed that is why we are seeing producers hold back in any explicit sort of arrangements. shery: what are your demands for outlook? >> we will see relatively robust growth come through. certainly economic growth has started to peter out. we are starting to see a full thrill he. -- false rally. asian markets, we are seeing numbers strong come through. other than some sort of stipulation. we have had of fair stipulation so far but if we see that actually result in trade being active -- impacted, yes, the market could be impacted. demand will hold up well. haidi: the other thing was the projection that the u.s. shale

boom will continue into the 20 20's. those -- does that suggest a driver between the beauty i had cap -- brent? -- wti and brent? >> it is being driven by the emerging in the u.s. shale industry, talk about the infrastructure. there is an ongoing issue. in the short-term we have had other things like raising costs, availability of workers. it has produced in the shorter term. longer-term it is going to be the dynamic around how shale grows exponentially. broader commodities

index has been confounding. looking at copper, we had seven straight weeks of money managers .utting their long positions we saw a rebound last week, 5%. the bloomberg commodities index had its best week since april. that is despite the trade war. this cannot last. >> it has confounded a lot of skeptics. i have been talking about positive fundamentals for a while in both metals. seems to be investor sentiment betraying. slowly starting to turn around. the declines in stockpiles, itper in particular, i think is starting to weigh on the relatively bearish outlook. the trade conflict, the concerns around the impact it is having

on external driven demand out of china is starting to debate -- to abate. the policy measure in china will drive demand like copper and iron or. -- ore. shery: it is important to see where the dollar will stand. despite the fact we are seeing the 10 year yield rise past 3%, you see the spot index lose ground. really not moving in tandem with treasury yields as we have seen. when you are try to figure out where the dollar stands and how that will affect commodities, what do you look at? certainly over the past month or two it has been around the trade conflict. the has resulted in risk-averse moved to the u.s. dollar.

--prisingly we had not seen not take up the mantle as well. obviously economic data has been positive as well. that certainly has been supported. overall the risk-averse sort of train has played a big part. that will be in the shorter term i think the real driver of u.s. dollar as well. that is something we will focus on for commodity markets. it has been a significant headwind, the correlation between the u.s. dollar and commodities has been strong. prices arecommodity not going to recover until we do see the u.s. dollar weakening slightly. shery: thank you so much for your time. anz commodity strategist. you can get around of of the stories you need to get your day going.
