4:05 am
forit's all about the u.s. the u.s.-mexico-canada agreement. it will make modest changes to the deal he once called a disaster, easing uncertainty for companies relying on terror free commerce. commerce.free how will this deal move markets? what's next for the dollar? joining us for the hour is the cohost at ubs. thank you for joining us. is this a reversal? is this a u-turn? or is this an exception? guest: i think it's good news definitely for everyone. i think the market is reflecting that. inhink these headlines have the past been the cause of great uncertainty for investors. whenever particularly told investors to sell. i think it's right to make these
4:06 am
noses. the trade with these countries are deep and likely to get deeper overtime. francine: this is my trade of the day. thank you for hillary clark, so we have canada, which is the white line, and you have mexico in the blue. does it mean we are going to see easing of tensions between china and the u.s.? guest: those tensions are a little bit deeper in the sense that the main question is, what is the negotiation there for? at the end of the day, we haven't seen terms and requirements for both sides. we haveur scenarios, some kind of escalation in terms of economic damage. i think the most interesting bit with this is not so much about the first order of discussion, the trade conflict, but have different authorities react to that. because of two reasons.
4:07 am
the first one is that people haven't seen yet the full policy response from china, which is to support the economy on the back of those headwinds. the second thing is people haven't seen or priced growth data into the u.s. for what is essentially a tax to their consumers. and i think how the economy and how the companies react to all this will be a key input into what happens next. francine: let me bring you to my other chart, looking at canadian dollar, mexican peso, an american dollar. guest: we are bearish on the dollar from here, for a number of reasons. the first and morten posen one, -- most important one, it may be happens it's pointing in that direction but there's a good chance there is damage to the economy by q1 and the market is not pricing that in. francine: you're expecting the u.s. economy to cool down and for the fed to wait on hiking more rates.
4:08 am
make the riskeast as big as what the market is pricing in. the market may think if the u.s. economy starts a little bit cooling down now, what happens when they price in fiscal stimulus, which are fading gradually towards the end of 2019 to get out? francine: if you look at dollar from here, doesn't go down? does it help with emerging markets? guest: yes, with accommodation of stable u.s. yields over one year, and the fact of chinese easing offsets some of those treasures. but they are price very negatively. third, risk premiums are quite wide. all of those, emerging markets have a spell of relief. francine: what is your favorite pairing? is there any bargains you want to scoop up? guest: we like the mexican peso.
4:09 am
we like high yields between south africa, indonesia, mexico we cover the whole world. we would be short asian currencies. for instance, with lower yields the cousin of the ongoing easing and china and how that could affect those, including korea and malaysia. francine: thank you. head of fx and rate strategy at ubs stays with us. up next, the $40 million tweet. what's next for the carmaker? keep it here on bloomberg. because the managing director joins us for an exquisite interview. that's at 4:00 p.m. u.k. time. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:12 am
francine: economics, finance, politics. this is bloomberg surveillance. i'm francine lacqua. the electric carmaker has forced to find a replacement for elon musk. the sec and him will have to settle fraud charges about taking the company private. they will have to add two new independent directors and directors to oversee the tweeting and their outspoken officer. what's next for tesla now that the deal is done? joining us is alex webb. all, what is the best possible deal for elon musk? alex: i think it's pretty good.
4:13 am
he's pretending bet executive officer ship -- he's retaining the executive officership. ban oniled a shorter holding the chairmanship and a smaller fine. his game of poker did not pay off on that level, but i think he probably is in a better situation than he was thursday. francine: how is he going to work with the chairman? has the chairman going to work with them? there'se big question, an appetite to take on the role. they could be a dead duck role given elon is only banned from this position for three years. perhaps the expectation is that he would come back in three years. whoever goes into the role might have assurances he will hold it longer. there's a nine person board, five members very closely aligned with elon. adding two members shifts the
4:14 am
balance, means the chairman might have more control. certainly a long overdue move. francine: what do we know about model three? now they have to deliver. alex: that's one of the advantages of the settlement. does not have this distraction hanging over his head -- elon does not have this distraction hanging over his head. it might be too little too late. they might need someone to help push this production and finally getting to the point where he says they are close to profitability. and therefore, there's the hope that cash flow might be positive in the third quarter, which means they are able to invest in the new models and production line. francine: thank you, alex webb. he stays with us. we talk about currencies. let's get numbered business flash with taylor riggs.
4:15 am
taylor: ryanair shares are sharply lower this morning as it became the latest european airline to cut its earnings outlook. the region's biggest discount carrier lowered its profit from 1.1 billion euros to 1.2 billion euros. two days of strikes in september translated to lower profits and fewer bookings in october as customers feared more walkouts. oil has extended its gains after the longest quarterly rally in a decade. slow down in american drilling added to supply risk while the u.s. and saudi arabia discussed market stability. thanking donald trump -- of saudi arabia are reported to have spoken on the phone saturday and maintain supplies to ensure stability of the market and growth of the global economy. the number of eurozone banks deemed too big to fail growth

4:17 am
directors to have two female members by 2021. that's your bloomberg business flash. francine? francine: thanks so much. less than six months until the u.k. leaves the eu, theresa may at her checkers plan are coming under further attack. with mays conservative party gathering in birmingham, the former foreign secretary boris johnson called it deranged. speaking to bloomberg, greg clark defended the proposal. deal is something that wouldn't be in the interest of either side. and canada wouldn't achieve our objectives. with got to be to nations about bes. -- we've got to tenacious about this. francine: and edwards is there for us. will she survived the week? anna: boris johnson does seem to be on the move.
4:18 am
he's not launched a leadership bid, but he's made himself vocal over the weekend in papers and elsewhere talking about deranged, preposterous plans from theresa may, the prime minister. i spoke to ministers this others and we spoke defending theresa may as prime minister. it is a secretary and city minister backing her plan. one of them suggesting boris johnson, we've seen this before. he just behaves this way, as if it's nothing more than that. philip hammond, the chancellor, talking about how boris is not capable of grown-up politics, mocking his inability to grasp of the details. it does seem as if theresa may's grouping are coming to her defense in the early stages of this conference, but we'll have to wait until wednesday to hear from her platform. francine: what are the prospects
4:19 am
of the checkers plan? anna: this is the plan. theresa may's plan is the plan under attack from all sides. the eu rejected it. some people in her party don't like it. that's what boris johnson is objecting to. he thinks it requires them to stay to closely aligned to the eu. he prefers something like the canadian free trade agreement. theresa may and philip hammond rejected that, suggesting if we had something like canada, it might lead to more checks at the border. business wouldn't like it because it would provide friction to trade. philip hammond said it could encourage others to argue for borders in the u.k. elsewhere. this is a fascinating debate whether checkers survives the week and mother theresa may does, as well. francine: does philip hammond have support of his party? he came in and tried to defend theresa may and by defending
4:20 am
her, almost lost boris johnson. anna: indeed, yes. this is in reference to the daily mail article written. he did say the mocking of boris johnson suggests he's not able to grasp the details, saying he will not the next prime minister. it's all-out war between boris johnson and theresa may, but boris johnson not yet launched a leadership bid. if you've may said, got an alternative proposal, let's see them. they are not my did to adjust the checkers plan. it is the plan as theresa may and her cabinet set it out. it's the one negotiated by the government and the eu 27. they are trying to give the impression that's not going to between in birmingham. francine: and edwards in birmingham. we will have plenty more throughout the day.
4:21 am
how much does the u.k. political drama drive markets? what is priced in the pound right now? guest: i think what the market is pricing is a high chance we get some kind of deal that kicks the can down the road. if that doesn't happen, and we end up landing in one of the hard brexit, or variations thereof, i think it has substantial downside. even in a soft brexit scenario, people underestimate the damage to the u.k. economy from the fact that the financial sector, a key plus of surpluses a sickly starts to move away. and indeed, even for a soft brexit, a services deal that protects the financial sector as it stands is not necessarily part of the agreement. francine: let me bring you to my chart. this looks at volatility. we remind ourselves we had a
4:22 am
flash crash a year ago at the party conference. are you worried about volatility? what is that mean for how you play the market? guest: we have done an analysis of the economic scenarios that happen in a hard brexit scenario, soft brexit scenario, or not brexit scenario. we projected our models to what that means for the pound and looked at volatility to see what's priced in. the bull market is not pricing the very negative scenarios happening in any kind of sort on the horizon. particularly that we have the same challenge persisting for a few months, the fact that the leadership of the government does not seem to converge to one solution. there is definitely a scope for downside. it brings volatility higher. francine: what is the alternative?
4:23 am
is it a leadership challenge? wouldn't go to general election? or would it mean the u.k. crashing out of the eu? guest: i think all of these scenarios you spoke about and both higher volatility and more risk. the best case scenario you work on is something that maintains the status quo for a little bit longer. and that helps us deliver some kind of detail, some kind of plan that smooths out any kind of adjustment or basically maintains a lot of the things the u.k. economy enjoys at the moment. anything short of that is particularly bringing the markets to thinking about the worst-case scenarios. francine: if there's a general election, what happens to pound? i don't know if that's 10% likelihood or higher. guest: i don't know because i don't know the discussion around the election and don't know what it goes for, what the party stands for.
4:24 am
is it a soft brexit versus hard problemi mean the main in the whole negotiation is that there's not a clear sense of what would keep the political, what would bring a sick -- consensus around the political establishment? francine: i'm sure people in charge feel the same way. what about the current account deficit? guest: that's the biggest issue. that's what the pound is the most formidable. -- the most vulnerable. it has a big trade deficit, which is financed by two pockets of inflows. the first one is capital inflows by infrastructure in the real estate sector, and other related sectors. the second one is a large surplus --services three quarters of which, a little bit more than that come from -- basically, if the uk's financial
4:25 am
surplus, financial sector surplus, generated surplus, starts relocating from here, moving out of the economy, it widens the account gap. as it widens, the easiest path economically to smooth this out would be the currency base. francine: this is my euro pound chart. why is this not you move -- why is this not moving? it's a range bound. what does it take to break out? guest: the first thing, the u.k. economy is a globally exposed economy. the last few months, with the global economy being stronger, it hasn't grown. if the u.k. stayed with status quo, it would keep the currency stable. the second thing that is the euro by itself. that's a contributor. the third thing, as i mentioned,
4:26 am
in a price there is a markets assumption that in the 11th hour, we have some kind of a push. francine: thank you so much. themos stays with us. up next, the italian finance minister faces a challenge. we talked the italian situation and where yields are headed. let's look at where shares are secing premarket after the came to an agreement with elon musk. so many questions remain. we talk about italy, we talk about eurozone. later, we talk oil. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:33 am
after initial targets with investors, the 2019 spending plan will face questions about the proposal on the sidelines. are 2.4%etails so far targets. how will the budget battle continue to affect the bond market? overreact?kets it's not what they were expecting. it's only 2.4. >> is a storm in a teacup. at the end of the day, we need to remember a few things. the first thing is if you put the numbers down, 2.4 is not the deficit that leaves italy in a blowup. it is slightly bigger than what the markets expected.
4:34 am
60 basis points do not typically change the course of a nation basically. is no one talks stimulus, whether you like it or you don't like it is a policy approach, i think it will create a little bit of extra growth. that needs to be accounted for. francine: it's trying to deliver on the promise that they campaigned on. >> they were elected with a large majority with a certain agenda. they said they would implement it. six months ago, we were worried that it would lead to some kind of 6% deficit. that was the indication back then. at the end of the day, they need to deliver something and they
4:35 am
need to deliver this. last but not least, people confuse this discussion with this is not the case where europe controls some kind of outflow of funds into italy. it's a discussion about whether the budget fits the models of the eu, which will start next month and take us through q2 next year. that may result in a fine. francine: why do the markets do so badly on friday? are they taking this as an omen of things to calm, that they are happy to fight the eu? >> is the result of three things. the first is the market expectations were mismanaged. a lot of participants were hoping for something closer to 1.8. second, it tells you a lot about
4:36 am
the liquidity of the market. it's more of a statement about how liquid the italian market has become. rulesligation of capital and so on and so forth. the last thing is that when you situation, you become too immersed in the details. that is mostly about how scared the market has become. francine: let me bring you over to my chart, this looks set italian credit default swaps. a danger that banks are too reliant on italian government that? >> i think that one of the biggest problems the eurozone faces and it's something the banking union has tried to resolve is the circle between banks and government. at the end of the day, when we
4:37 am
look at what christ into the government bond -- is priced into the government bond, we can actually show investors have a large price to a scenario written on the basis. no italian banquet stay unharmed. that's why you need to assess the situation. it's not as good as people may have wanted for in the budget, it is quite thin. about thedo you worry president changing at a time when we are trying to figure out what italy will become? >> the most important thing to remember is italy is not greece or spain. is italy has a significant problem, it's not something that anyone can not put into their growth outlook.
4:38 am
it has been affecting the euro. francine: how much more will it impact? think we last investors to pay selling pressures. we think the euro is cheap. when you look at the counterpart in the u.s., there is very little risk. we think the euro is a good level here. francine: thank you so much for joining us today. next, we talk renewable energy and the future of spain. that exclusive conversation is next. this is bloomberg. ♪

5:05 am
thank you both for joining us. how big a deal is this? are we going to see more theptions like this, is u.s. softening, or is this good news for the three blocks? >> i think it is a big deal for north american markets. i don't think it is a big deal globally when you talk about all the trade issues, particularly between the u.s. and china. these are modest changes in the agreement. therefore, i don't think anyone is going to be upgrading their views on growth, trade balances, all of the sort of big that growth indicators. it will make people more comfortable owning canada and mexico because there was some risk premium and those markets for the destruction of nafta, but this is not a big issue in terms of the u.s. and china. francine: this is better than no deal. does it impact u.s. growth? >> probably not. u.s. growth at the moment still looks pretty solid.
5:06 am
consumer confidence is at an 18 year high. short-term, it is good for sentiment. it is not so long ago we thought things would stretch on into 2019. it still looks very like the original nafta deal, but even canada and mexico are not exempt from the steel and aluminum tariffs. they may protect from the auto tariffs should they come through next year. i don't think it has a material impact beyond this short-term sentiment. tom: to both of you, janet, to me it is a massive amount of saving face. what is really significant to me are the tpp elements. both secretary clinton and president trump said we are not doing tpp, but we got some transpacific partnership elements in this document, didn't we? >> i must admit, given that it only came out at two minutes to midnight, i have not read all of it. tom: that's fair. >> but as we touched on, there's
5:07 am
some broader issues to do with trade. a lot of those will extend to the u.s.-china trading relationship, and still this possible disruption to supply chains that may come through. but i think also looking at it from a european and asian perspective, the big way in which concerns about trade are impacting all investment sentiment. trade growth had already slowed. this concern about how much trade tensions can deteriorate ed onill being weigh investor sentiment. are loonieormand, and peso tradable this morning? >> absolutely. getting some continuity in terms of trade policy between the u.s. and canada means you don't have obstacles to rate hikes from the
5:08 am
fed, and he canada dollar continues to appreciate. a few months ago when we have the results of the mexican presidential elections in july, there's not much scope for the pacer to outperform, but it will be taken higher on today's news. the bloomberg terminal, i want to pick up something where you basically say jpmorgan has adopted a new baseline that assumes the u.s. and china in game involving 25% u.s. tariffs on all chinese goods in 2019. a weaker yuan becomes a part of that. you lowered that to what level? >> we got it at 720 and five months, so about 5% lower than where it is now. francine: but you are not expecting the economies to be affected. the impact will directly be on you on. -- on yuan. >> exactly. the u.s. is segregating the way
5:09 am
it treats china from the way it mexico.anada and throughese will respond offsetting stimulus measures. one of those will be cutting interest rates or reserve requirements that will lower the value of the exchange rate. we will get to a place where growth doesn't look any different between the u.s. and china. china will have provided stimulus, but part of that is a weaker currency. that's where you get market impacts through the foreign exchange market place, as well as through the equity markets. tom: thank you to both of you this morning. to kick off speech the and of the international monetary fund. after that speech, i will have a conversation with christine lagarde. look for that in the eleven o'clock our. we will type -- in the 11:00 hour. we will touch on indonesia and

5:14 am
is a reflection of the ongoing challenges that the european institutions face in terms of getting all member states on board with the rules, effectively. i think the challenge with italy isn't so much just the headline budget deficit they are projecting for 2019. certainly the markets have been led to believe, and the finance minister had indicated, it is that they said the deficit is going to be at the order of 2.4% to gdp for the next three years. short-term, that might add to growth, but it is the longer-term challenges associated with that and how they negotiate with european institutions that will be where the big challenges come from. francine: did the markets overreact? 2.4% is not 3%. they have to deliver on the promises they put in the campaigns, to some extent. john: depends on whether you are an italian voter or nonparticipant. 2.4% is no big deal if you are a moderately indebted country.
5:15 am
is awith no end in sight problem from a market perspective. i don't think it was an overreaction at all. italy is going to have enormous challenges over the next year if that to gdp is not on a downward and ecb aree fed raising rates. tom, go ahead. tom: i insist. francine: i just had to get this question out. do you think it is going to get worse? the more the markets are in turmoil, the more it will test politicians. john: i think so there have been opportunities for the government to deliver something which would have granted some of the election were campaign promises come about also respected some of the debt sustainability obligations within the currency union. the fact they did not do that
5:16 am
shows they have a different set of priorities. i think it will require more market stress to rebalance priorities it more towards debt sustainability and breakdown spreads. tom: do you see any indication of what the stress will play out for germany, for the netherlands, for the core of europe? i'm fascinated by how serious everyone is taking italy, but it is a mystery how germany and others will respond to whatever the crisis may be. how will they respond quest mark -- respond? john: i think it is on the rhetorical level. they will highlight what the rules are around fiscal policy, reject the budget if it doesn't show debt to gdp declining on a multiyear basis, and help the italian government will come back with a slightly lower deficit target for the next couple of years. that is the extent of what they can do. there is no way to really enforce fiscal discipline from a governmental level. they can only be done from a market level. tom: janet, what is so direct
5:17 am
here is italy is not greece. that is the heart of the matter. how will these core countries treat italy is it is not greece? janet: i think these core countries you mentioned are certainly come off for now, going to take the lead. a country like italy has to submit its budget to the european commission. they have to take a view of whether it is realistic. that is certainly what we are waiting for the next couple of days. assumption?growth for italy is going to argue is growth is going to be sufficiently strong, and that is going to support the debt to gdp ratio still trends lower. they may also come up with some numbers regarding tax amnesty. if they can paint a convincing picture regarding the growth of the tax amnesty and other potential measures to make their numbers still point to a reduction of debt to gdp ratio, there could be some scope for compromise.
5:18 am
but i think the initial round of where we go from here would be led by the european institutions rather than individual leaders of individual countries. francine: that may bring you over to my chart looking at the spread between italian and german ten-year yields. does that put pressure on euro, and is that make the european case for more bullishness? a lower euro helps with exports. does helpower euro with exports, but as with all countries, most countries are more dependent on external demand than they are with the euro. what we seen this year is that even though the euro, for some this year, was weakening against the dollar, trade goes was -- trade growth was slowing. certainly we think from here the dollar is likely to resume rallying and is going to be strengthening as long as the fed is expected to continue tightening policies. if we see a slightly weaker euro, it will help at the margins, but for exports it is
5:19 am
more about world trade growth. francine: where do you see this going? the you assume the spread just keeps widening until we have a budget deficit of 1.8%? john: i think so. we've seen the government become more reasonable when the spreads touch 300. it is a young government, so we can't say it is proof positive that the rhetoric will turn more conciliatory. but i think this how the situation will play out, similar to the situations in other countries like greece. the government becomes a bit less aggressive in terms of market demands. tom: john normand and janet henry this morning. an interesting conversation coming up. he is the congressman from dca, the a's district of virginia -- the eighth district of virginia, executive auto

delivery. they've taken the upfront payment and bank the rest of that money when they deliver the car. they got a huge backlog of orders. at this stage, demand is at the issue. it very much is supply. francine: the other issue is who is going to be chairman. who wants that job? they may not be able to stay very long, right? reporter: that is the big issue. who is going to take a role that could be perceived as a dead duck, essentially? if i was the person up for the role, i would very much be seeking to have longer than a three-year term because otherwise, there's the risk that elon comes in at three years again. directors are required to be appointed. that will swing the balance of the board slightly away from elon at the moment. he has five members perceived as being close to him of the nine.

remember, these falling em currencies means in local currency terms, the oil price has going up by two or three times. francine: what is your take on whether we touch 200 -- touch $100? john: i think $90 is very easy to reach. , i think the u.s. could not have chosen a worse time to sanction iran in terms of adding stress to a market already tightening because of the opec restraint over the last couple of years. the u.s. is really courting a market event here. crude that isf logarithmic, which means slope matters, and it is an elegant chart. it has a certain acceleration to it right now. does the president understand who controls the price of oil? john: he thinks he does. that the u.s. is

energy independent, which it is not. he thinks u.s. shale output is pretty elastic in the short run, which it is not. i think he has some clear views on what drives the oil price. i'm just not sure if he is correct. i think that is why the oil prices going up. he is miscalculated. tom: john normand with a careful analysis. we can get you in trouble as we can get you in trouble as well. if the president doesn't control the price of oil, who does? janet: lots of moving parts control the price of oil. lots of influencers on demand, on supply. over the medium to long term, i --nk shale is the marginal you know, will set where the marginal production of oil and long-term price of oil will actually be. probably it should be lower than today's level. but in the near term, actually some of the u.s. actions, particularly on iran, are one of the biggest drivers relating to oil price. francine: thank you both, john norment of jpmorgan and janet

businesses in the u.k. have seen political ups and downs since the 2014 scottish independence referendum, brexit. at thet doesn't look agenda at the moment. as far as the prime minister's plan for brexit, i was speaking someone yesterday who says this is what business wants. guest: for us it is all about function, not necessarily form. i don't care what you call it as long as it delivers answers to the real world, practical questions. anna: does it deliver any answers? guest: host: it does deliver -- guest: it does deliver some of the answers. they need to see fairly frictionless trade. they don't want to see lots of impositions, whether tariffs or nontariff barriers at the border. citizens also want clarity on other issues, like who they can
5:47 am
hire. there are so many real world, practical questions. the form is less important than actually getting those answers. anna: meanwhile, infighting within the conservative party about which version of a brexit plan to push for continues. the government says the chapter uern is the only -- the checq plan is the only plan. do you think it is possible to craft some type of canada style plan that does not create more friction for business? guest: it is hypothetical. differenteate scenarios for how i plan will work, but we are in a negotiation. this is not a one-sided thing. the u.k. needs to agree with the eu 27. will we need to get to is an accommodation for both sides. we want answers to this practical questions. we have said very clearly it is up to our politicians to deliver
5:48 am
something that actually answers those questions against the best possible terms of trade for the future. anna: would be possible with technology, with a canada style deal that did not involve a line across island? guest: businesses tell us it would take a couple of years for absolute certainty on what the technology is for them to adopt to it. there's not much time here. we are running out of time. my worry, and the worry of many u.k. businesses who trade the worry of many u.k. businesses who trade actively with europe, as we are still have a debate about what solutions should be when what we are doing is repairing for their implementation. we need to draw a line and get the brass tacks and practicality. anna: your message to 's who believe a no deal brexit is a practical backstop? guest: we do not want to see a messy and distorted -- and disorderly exit, but we need to give businesses confidence on the domestic front. brexit is important, but if we
5:49 am
don't have the right conditions for growth here in the u.k., we are not going to be up to make a success of it. with gaps -- we have gaps in skill issues that are bigger than we have ever seen. we have growth transport networks that are snarled. we have problems with broadband and internet connections. these are the kind of real-world things where is the government is focused on delivering for business, it will be helpful whenever the brexit outcome. anna: has brexit made it difficult to focus on those things? guest: it has squeezed the bandwidth of the u.k. government, but it needs to be running onto a competitive u.k. with low-cost, particularly upfront cost, for businesses and negotiating the brexit deal. anna: you've done a survey suggesting maybe 2/3 of businesses have not done risk assessments. how much of a worry is that? guest: i divide business into three tribes on brexit. there are those who are

england over the next year. you have seen this in the positions of sterling, which are also short. that thet is a view economy is not going to collapse on the brexit scenarios for the next couple of years, but neither is it going to step up in a meaningful way. which way we go obviously depends on what policy path is taken. there's almost no clarity on that. francine: away from the politics, we need to deal with the current account deficit. janet: absolutely. at the end of october, we now have a date for the u.k. budget on october 29. all points to being quite cautious. and has to do with the italian situation we have discussed. barwin has been less than anticipated, but that's borrowing has been less than anticipated, but they are still worried about the debt. the economy has been relatively sluggish by pre-vote standards. we see it growing at about 1.5%. i don't think it matters as much for the currency.
5:52 am
near-term the currency will still be the barometer on where we are on brexit. if it looks like a no deal, sterling will fall, as strategists have talked about. the softer the brexit, the more it will swing in the other direction. kind ofto some transitional deal where we get preferential arrangements on goods, but nothing on services, sterling seems fairly valued at the moment. francine: what will it take to actually move euro pound -- euro-pound? john: a lot lower? francine: or higher. what does it take for that range to be broken? john: i think you're dealing with two economic areas which have their own political constraints on the next 12 months. the italy situation and the issue on euro-sterling really collapsing is the possibility

some of the emerging world has to follow suit. oil prices we discussed, and trade tensions. while we has a relatively good news over the weekend, i don't think anyone thinks trade tensions are over from here. this is going to be fairly uncomfortable for a lot of emerging markets. tom: we seen wonderful recovery, , throughrly in turkey a six level stronger turkish lira as one example. where is the opportunity within the complexities of the emerging market right now? where can i either make money, or just as importantly, not lose money? john: it is on a country specific basis. i think if you want to focus on a particular emerging-market where the assets might be cheap, the jim littell -- the geopolitical risk is minimal, that's used to be mexico -- that seems to be mexico. if you are looking for something
5:55 am
to short, it is probably asian currencies. i think escalation is a done deal from the u.s. perspective on tariffs. i think the chinese policy response is going to involve a weaker currency. some of the other markets people are focused on because currencies are extremely cheap and interest rates are very high are argentina and turkey. i still feel like it is early days even though we have seen rebalance in turkey. i don't think you seen enough time pass between interest rate hikes and the lack of interference in monetary policy by the president. yuanine: overall, weaker means extra stimulus from the chinese. are you worried about the prospects? john: no, but just look at the yuan from being the stimulus that keeps growth from moving down significantly. it is about china's ability from a growth perspective with ite -- perspective whether tariffs will be used. tom: thank you so much, john

6:05 am
of the week, however, that have been underestimates that suggests it could be done today, tomorrow, wednesday. winstone, folks are going to have to look at it. it was a rare moment of bipartisanship to see senator cruz and senator flake together and quite frankly, they ultimately can of voting differently on this issue. tom: this is after a careful read of the threat matrix on the process,fbi has a method, including writing a rethink down. -- writing everything down. in the fbi say we need more time? kevin: they can of that's a great question for three deadlines that were set in regards to the senate judiciary committee, you are saying they want to see the investigation yield its course and concluded central conclusion that have others saying republicans saying let's keep this particularly within the one week time frame. francine: who is advising president trump on this and
6:06 am
whose advice is he taking? kevin: tom mcgann has been charged with driving judge kavanaugh for his confirmation proceedings and i think, with the i talked white house and the senate judiciary committee and judge kavanaugh want to keep the team very small in terms of who was briefing him in preparing him for this is a whole. overall, when are we expecting to find out from the fbi exactly how they are receiving and what the timeframe is on this? kevin: this week, whether it's the first half of the second half of this week, we don't know. but it has become the complete wildcard in the midterm elections. president trump was campaigning in west virginia over the weekend, estate he carried by 42 percentage points of the 2016 cycle and that the state where centrist democrats senator joe manchin is the swing vote on the judge kavanaugh hearings and
6:07 am
this is where this incredibly interesting because judge kavanaugh's popularity is different based upon the geographic locations throughout the country. i know you're a real student of it. a question that came up during the weekend, whether it was a certain view of judge kavanaugh laughing at matt damon on snl, or other people appalled by the whole process in support of judge kavanaugh, etc., kevin, is the fbi lyrical -- political? general'sey political, mr. rosenstein, deputy attorney general, i let you tell me. but is the fbi of political institution? it shouldn't be, but in this washington, there's no doubt that these institutions, the fbi, cia colonies intelligence community institutions have been the recipients of political attacks. kevin cirilli, thank you for briefing. we need to the topics to talk about. maybe you can segue over to

nafta, it's the u.s. mexico , which i think is the u.s. marine corps, but i think i will let some oil supply in on this. was it a success president trump? mr. lee: he's taking apart the entire multilateral framework that he is saying we try bilateral approach this is his first so-called victory. tom: it's a tweet. mr. lee: he's calling it a victory coming is taking tpp and putting it into nafta or modernizing nafta and that physically what he should have been doing but it shows it's easier to do when you have a small number of people negotiating and that's the theme of this of administration, to minimize the number of negotiators at the table. francine: what does that mean for foreign policy? does it mean the president escalates down his fight with china? is there anything we can read between the lines or separate issue? mr. lee: this is a very important innovation in the
6:09 am
sense that in the past we always large negotiating bodies and actually stole things a lot of minority governments like india to tank the latest round of talks. what we're showing here is that if you minimize the number of people, players of the table negotiating, you actually can get action and relatively fast action. this last round of putting canada and was relatively quick. francine: how does that translate into their dealings with china? mr. lee: the whole piece the next world trade framework is to arrange how is that large economies interact with each other. the u.s. china, and eu. and negotiation of going to be electoral property protection and market access. those of the terms to be negotiated and those of you to be brought to the table and the tariff talk is a lot of noise i think disturbing below and bring them to the table. -- to stir people up and bring
6:10 am
them to the table. the table,n to read copyright goes up to 70 years, but ok, great, what does it mean for the people watching the show? i couldn't come out with much. is there any real effect on people? kevin: there could be of the long-term and you see some businesses trying to price that in. i would know that with particular regard to the point you were making in terms of the populist streak that it runs rampant right now through the left and the right, that is going to be some that is definitely going to be shaping the 2020 divide in the democratic field. in the midterm election, we haven't really seen it weaken much of a factor because all politics is local is in the local feels like ohio, it's a very different reason we use the -- it's very different from what we see elsewhere. and lamelycirilli with milken institute.

6:16 am
-- ian duncan smith. anna: a former work and attention secretary and prominent. good morning let's talk a little bit about the checkers plan and what changes you want to see. do you want to see letter canada style free trade agreement? when you are free arrangement with the european union because that is what they want and they don't want checkers because checkers gives peculiar access to their market and they don't want that without the full freedom. we should go back to a free-trade deal in canada is just a name for it. it's a deal with japan, south korea, etc. deal gives a much cleaner break in the u.s. respond by saying the irish , you do all this
6:17 am
without a hard border and then we are home and dry but checkers itself i don't think flies within the description at all. it be possible for theresa may to change your plan from checkers is on the looks more like a candidate deal? she doesn't sound very moved change. no, i'm hoping they will get around to that. right now, checkers -- we've been told of the eu the checkers doesn't work so the government has to come back was often better and the institute for economic affairs the put this out about a week ago, they said is very good reason for a free-trade arrangement, could be a very good one in the european union wants it and we have to make sure it's for the whole of the united kingdom. early to say that checkers won't fly with the eu because this just part of the negotiation and perhaps there is room for checkers to work? mr. smith: he doesn't work for us either. we'll be half into their rulebook, not a joint rulebook, all of the regulations we have
6:18 am
to abide by those in basically, we would be ruled takers from the european union which is not what people voted for. toy voted for a clean break take back control of your borders, your laws, your money. this is being adjudicated by the court of justice. the business secretary said the business wants checkers not a canada style deal and i spoke to the bcc earlier on and they said one business wants is some certainty. when he stop doing this and move on with something. thinkith: i don't business wants checkers come i think some business might want checkers but bear in mind they are only present of our companies actually exporting to the european union. and their 92% that don't have that issue. we have to provide for them what they don't want to be is locked into a rulebook is all about just those who export not about their domestic businesses. when you to be able to help change regulation, make it much more relevant to the u.k. and wouldn't be able to do that when it comes to checkers.
6:19 am
a free-trade deal would do very well for us and the exporters would still be able to export. this just in time nonsense is rubbish, used to be involved in that before and there are plenty of things that are imported from outside the eu at the moment that arrived just in time. the idea that elicits from the eu, it's not going to work is not true. anna: that is added friction. mr. smith: it depends what you need without a friction. if you allow for the time is a start across the border, don't believe there should be any, do good to nobler checks at all out of the give me those. most of the stuff we're talking about is pre-declared through people who got authorized economic operators from trusted traders come all this stuff can be done, a very minimal friction can be allowed is on the interest of europe. francine: what a sport -- anna: what is boris johnson bloomberg up for? -- limbering up for? talk aboutthere's no
6:20 am
leadership because of prime minister is your notice talking about getting river. it's all about checkers. he resigned over checkers and he estimate the case white checker doesn't work. it's quite legitimate. anna: is it quite was a number andall it deranged preposterous and not put your hat in the ring to take it in a different direction? it's a bad deal for us and for them in for free trade which is what we want. i think boris is language gives it a bit of color but it is true the end of the day when you strip away all of that, you are left with a trade deal that doesn't work but we want a free-trade deal that would work and i think would view europe across that line. it is still possible to find a deal under theresa may that you get enough parliament support for? go to ah: if we free-trade arrangement, in parliament will almost certainly back that because it's the best offer this on the table. i don't think checkers will fly
6:21 am
at the labour party doesn't want to back it anyways i think a good free trade arrangement gives us that flexibility i think it will get through parliament. smith, formercan tory party leader. tom: with us in washington is william lee, now the milken institute, our chief economist. , with your work and imf and citigroup, it's always about the ascent of china. give us an update within this trade war on the strength in the power of china. to lagardehristians today is when this china get a more dominant position at the imf? that's the kind of emotion behind this. mr. lee: before they get more location of kona, they have demonstrated their economic prowess and made in china 2025 is really their strategy for doing that. it's an amazing strategy, it's taking all those areas where the u.s. has not been dominant and
6:22 am
become the new standardbearer in vehicles, and solar power, and high-tech, and pharmaceuticals. these are areas where they are trying to establish your dominant and i think it's is really reflecting of the trade orders we are about to negotiate which is how does a large country trade with another large country because small countries is on the move covered all the way back. tom: is the quickest solution for china to move as some form of regional or multilateral negotiation versus a trump lateral unilateralism? trying tohey are express they are the new multilateralism but china's modernism is large china dealing with small southeast asia. the thing they haven't faced up how they deal with a large market access in the u.s. and the eu? it's been negotiated with trump and the key is they have to demonstrate they have the economic prowess how they deal a large market access in the u.s. and the eu? , they have the expertise in these areas to say
6:23 am
we have something you cannot live without, 5g, pharmaceuticals, elected vehicles and is in the october of your markets two, where is china last open of our markets to your disney movies of marvel comics but at the same time, we have preserve electoral property rights because we don't want the u.s. scientists reverse a and is sure inff property that is exist right now. anna: it was only about intellectual property, the trumpet administration would have done it evenly. also the the europeans bugbear about the electoral property, they could've done it differently but this is about something else. it's funny how countries to terminate their negotiating positions. we could've done of the europeans, but the europeans don't really have their act together either. the difficulties in dealing with europe has been shown by the fact that all they can offer us was to get rid of the tariffs on manufactured goods. that was the only opening ploy to start negotiating position with the u.s. that have nothing
6:24 am
to do with high-tech, nothing to do with the new industries of the 21st century. weakest,here europe is they haven't really innovated to the same pace as china is doing now and as the u.s. has been doing. francine: do you think the europeans will find a way of working with the u.s. much less -- much like this nafta 2.0 is? absolutely at all politics is regional. that's when the stopping point is going to be. the europeans have to deal with the agricultural interests and industrial interests of europe as well as the u.s. dealing with our local state and local interests and china have to deal with their provincial governments because the chinese government is the federal government but there's also provisional governors who became very powerful. tom: it's all about saving face. it is president trump or

relieved to the damage that was done with minimal as it was, critically to the u.s. auto sector. although as we all know, this looks like it is teaming up for that will autos and lead to more conflict and will shift the focus to u.s. japan and u.s. eu relations. mary lovely, this is basically a rebranding of the nafta deal. do you think we will see more u.s. rebranding of trade deals? ms. lovely: unfortunately, yes, although i hope the businesses and citizens are beginning to catch on. basically, the rebranding, we shouldn't take too lately because it comes with increased protectionism. and that's a problem. like weos, it looks will have a ceiling on how many will be able to import from canada and those are part
6:47 am
of a totally integrated production network across the region. they really affect u.s. producers in u.s. based producers business strategies. fortunately, it looks like the ceilings have been set high enough where it does very little really to force him to rearrange production in the short run. mean thatdoes this the trade tensions have less teeth than we thought? this is a deal the president called a disaster and now it's a rebranding with very minor tweaks. theyou infer from this deal fact that the u.s. will be less belligerent with the rest of the world? yes and your pointing out some that's very important and we saw it before with each week you have a career u.s. free trade area, this seems to be a pattern now and some of us can sign a bit of relief that he will take just president from will take credit for the changes but overall, they are rather modest.
6:48 am
the problem is increased protectionism. the pattern that has been established as countries no longer trade with sectors from his company's with companies because all traders so integrated multilaterally in multinational income you really can't separate one country's stuff from another country's stuff, it's sectors dealing with each other and the future is free trade agreements across sectors. ms. lovely: it still has to be the government's that negotiate free-trade agreements unfortunately i think our administration doesn't seem to understand the level of integration you are describing and that is the worry -- the worrying thing on the horizon. we will see it with autos when they get the big tariffs and i don't think anyone will read from that. we've seen both the unions and business say they don't want to. tom: free-trade is not cool anymore. we won't have that in the title. you mentioned tariffs, let's be clear of it's just a given pile
6:49 am
i heard one billion autos in the next 10 years or whatever. tariffs with who on automobiles? ms. lovely: we would have had tariffs with everybody, potentially. mexico and canada had to back themselves out of that. they have this sewer to hanging over their head that if you don't reach an agreement to limit your exports to the united states, we will lack you down with tariffs. tom: it's attacks on american auto buyers. beyettacks on congressman dealership? dealerships will also see some of the hit. so yes, it will be across the huge lot of america and i think he was talking about how the dealerships would be impacted, but consumers will be impacted, producers would be impacted, workers would be impacted. francine, sotom: much winning.
