4:04 am
francine. francine: thanks, taylor. let's take it off with italy. they have opened higher for the they time in nearly a week report that italy's government will plan to cut its deficit after eu pressure. according to the country's draft budget plan will see the budget produced by 2021. as recently as yesterday, the prime minister indicated they would stay at 2.4%. joining us now is our rome bureau chief. markets are more positive than yesterday. of a believing this a budget scoop -- are they believing this budget scoop? in the long run, this may be too little, too late. we don't even know if it is
4:05 am
true. secondly, the numbers are still high if you consider italy's highest debt and tendency for low growth. even with these numbers, the debt may rise. at some point, the markets may realize that and it will not be good news. and the thing that is disturbing everyone is that we still do not have these fiscal targets. it has been several days. and we are afraid they just cannot get the numbers square. we do not know what the government will percent today or tomorrow. the moment of celebration, but we are not sure what the future holds. francine: what do you think is actually within these targets? how much will be handouts as opposed to infrastructure spending? is the government talking behind closed doors? longandra: it is taking so
4:06 am
because the numbers do not square out. if you have a deficit, let's just talk about that. it is unlikely that will go down, unless you have a very high road predictions. -- growth predictions. or other ways of bringing in money. but this government is not in favor of privatizing anything. as you said it before, they are not spending on things that promote growth. two thirds of the promises are handouts. they are getting citizens income of some form. they are allowing people to retire early. that does not stimulate growth. the tax cuts might do something, but it is not enough. when they say italy will grow, they have not shown us how. francine: thank you so much. so what is next for italian markets? joining us now is the head of economic research at barclays. always great to speak to you.
4:07 am
are we going to see more volatility is the markets figure out what these governments want? christian: volatility will continue. there will be some news like we saw overnight, like maybe they will reduce the deficit. -- the loss of confidence is significant. people trusted the finance minister that he had control. ,hat the governments had seated at least that was our scenario. until we then figure out how strong are those elections. this has now been lost. and whether they move around the decibels, i'm not sure that will make the difference. francine: was its 90 for the --kets to think that -- 90 the markets to think
4:08 am
that? christian: excellent question. why were we suddenly confident? the thinking was the following, lvini have gained in the polls based on his anti-immigration policy. and people thought that maybe he would set before the fiscal and say that is enough. that was a narrative people believed. francine: yesterday, i guess the markets are scared. saying that italy would be better off outside of the euro. we spoke with him, he said it is a personal view. should investors take him at face value? or does the trust mean they will question the euro question? christian: there have been others who have started to question. and there are certain people who believe that italy will be better outside of the euro area.
4:09 am
if it really comes to it, complications, they will not go for it. the politicians will play with it. they think it is their bargaining chip, because they can always say look, we are not greece, you cannot take a second. -- take us out. this is a negotiation strategy. i'm not sure it would ever come to this. francine: i am frantically trying to get my favorite chart of the day up, the differential between these yields and the rest. you have the spanish italian yields and the portuguese italian yield. are we going to see stress? what has happened is that spain and portugal, to some extent, were decoupling.
4:10 am

4:16 am
if you look at the valuation models, there are several that show we are beyond long-term averages. it depends on what you pick. crucial at the moment are earnings. that is what the market is building up on. with regard to trade, over the long-term, there could be significant impact. but for now, it does seem contained. the crucial question is those who make a big impact, do they believe that there could be a confidence impact. -- whetherhat other it will impact in a big way. companies believe the way they operate will change. francine: this is my chart. christian, you are hired as my new coanchor. these us to look firm.

4:18 am
potential in version of the curve. if you think we will see another-by the end of the year, for more next year, by next year the curve will be inverted. the fed is suggesting it should not have too much of an impact. but markets look at all of the recessions. and typically, they have always been preceded by an inversion of the yield curve. these are things markets are watching. francine: we will have plenty on the markets and the dollar dynamics. both of our guests stay with us. up next, oil with a four-year high. we are live in moscow at the russian energy week we talk futures for the oil price. will we hit $100 a barrel? this is bloomberg. ♪

4:24 am
this is the big question. who can make up these iranian a barrels, and how high can we see the price of oil rise? francine: quickly, the iranian minister was going to come but is no longer. is that right? annamarie: that is right. the minister was supposed to attend. i'm not sure why he dropped out. they are dealing with sanctions, leading to a currency crisis as ran. within 10 run -- teh francine: let's continue talking about oil. christian, overall, how bad for the economy and how bad for oil demand if it touches $100? -- christian: i think the impact is underestimated. we came from oil at 100 and 10, and then we had a crash.
4:25 am
at the beginning, nothing happened, but later we saw a global recovery. oil played a large role. now we are back to levels of 80. these are significant differences. in particular, where we see a lot of damage is in the emerging-market importers. there are a lot of importers getting hit by hollinger -- higher dollar price. if you add them all up, it is significant. in the u.s. consumer will feel it. markets have started to think about the impact on headline inflation and growth. francine: what does that mean for big oil? the energy companies should benefit from that. exposure, particularly these.

4:40 am
when commodities comeback in this way, during the past, households haven't levered up a lot. now they have to deal with that leverage. it will be a tough environment for banks with the debt that has been created. know, interest rates, inflation at four. brazil will have a difficult time, i think. francine: is that true for the emerging markets as a whole? do you worry about contagion from fed normalization? can it be mash-up into one? christian: everyone who comes says this about e.m., and that is true. but the fact is that most are dependent on dollar funding. the growth rates are generally
4:41 am
lower, and we now have additional issues where oil is higher. the whole complex of china being the main driver for emerging ,arkets, sucking in imports that is now in question. we have been telling investors that it looks very attractive when prices, down over the summer, but what we do not see is the inflection point where you think this is the bottom. and many of the emerging-market countries need more time to work this out. francine: how much are these earnings propped up by tax cuts? year, on average, financials are above market rates. 25%, i guess. , there is probably a 10 or 12% coming from the tax relief. underlying half, driven by the

in the medium-term trajectory. of course, we had headlines this measures notese being very growth-friendly, and could -- moment, thehe feedback we have, we have to wait for the publication of the budget of 2019. francine, we got those headlines coming out. what's to me so interesting is not only is it the financial and fiscal, but it is social headlines as well. francine, what do you make of the social policy we see in these italian headlines? francine: i think we need to take a step back and remind all of our viewers that the current an an easyernment is
5:10 am
coalition. they just want different things. they campaigned under different things, so the effect they can pull the government together was a surprise to many people. on social, he is saying the growth well create less deficits comes a lot of them are banking. when you look at what is in the budget and we don't have the details, it is about a lot of things you are talking about. one could argue they are handoffs, and not what could make the economy grow. >> i think the reality is we have probably seen the best of growth across the eurozone for this cycle. you see mr. draghi talking about an acceleration of inflation. idea of meaningful growth is behind us. we have tapering of qe. and we have interest rates at
5:11 am
some point in the future. when i put those things together, those growth projections that we have seen across the eurozone are heady growth projections at these low levels. i think a lot of this is just noise. the repair -- there are reckonings yet to come. tom: let's continue. central bankers speak. we heard from chairman powell. conversationon and with trails evidence. if you don't know him -- and our guy johnson in a conversation with charles evans. two fed presidents today. this is bloomberg. stay with us.
5:14 am
♪ in: "bloomberg surveillance" new york and london. barreltained at $85 a and you see the knockout effect to emerging markets. excuse me. effect of higher inflation in turkey as well. we emphasize all of this. we have jeremy stretch with us. jeremy, if i look at central bank action, i am looking at the reality of the powell press conference. they are data-dependent and waiting. no one has waited more than mr.
5:15 am
draghi with a path out well into 2019. is mr. draghi going to have to blink? jeremy: i do think there was a degree of consistency between the forecasts of the ecb with their projections and some of the language. i do think there is a suspicion negativewe don't see a growth in the shorter term, there may be a case to be made that mr. draghi and the ecb could back sooner than that. i think in the context of what we have seen in other central banks where there have been those on a gradual basis, i would not be surprised if the ecb are considering an action earlier than that. that is something the market has yet to take on board. tom: that is the heart of the matter. you do multi-asset studies.
5:16 am
within multi-assets, there is the movable force that events will happen. how are you protecting yourself from these macro shocks within investments? >> we really have a portfolio, which i described as high quality. i realize that is a little consensus in a reflection of what we have seen over the last few months. it really leaves us to u.s. access where the federal reserve interest rate hike looked pretty reasonable. we know they are going to be slow and accommodative. and evaluations are not super cheap or super expensive. we can win on u.s.-based assets. though still make sense over the next months or so. francine: what do you worry about in the markets? you seem to think they have a handle on it, whether it is shadow banking in china, or the
5:17 am
dollar going higher in emerging markets. >> we know the federal reserve allows highs interest rates -- allows a hike in interest rates. says he feels confident about the u.s. economy, and we have seen that will last month or so. that is the kind of thing we worry about, that we get a blowback and to develop markets. i see that as a relatively small risk at the moment, which we have dipped our foot back into emerging-market corporate, but when we look at equities, it is probably too late because they will be the lightning rod that could develop equities and markets. francine: do you worry about the blowback, jeremy? >> the fed is mindful about all of the external risks, as indeed, they should be. that is one of the reason why
5:18 am
the fed will remain very cautious in terms of their timing. we are sliding more cautious in terms of the fed pathway ford toward 2019 -- pathway toward 2019. neutral and towards being aware there is a deceleration in the u.s. cycle. they want to see how the markets react to that. tom: spirited with interesting moving parts. not only in europe, but worldwide as well. we will continue with our justices. -- with our guests. are interview of the day, we have evidence of the fed and patrick harker of the fed. we have stanley fischer of the fed, the retired former vice chairman of the federal reserve, stanley fischer, a very rare conversation, so look for that in the 10:00 hour.

projected. we have an election coming up. what we need to remember is that the election on sunday is not the end, the beginning of brazil . i see it as a normalization of politics, and have huge stakes and a country i have known for 30 years. taylor: that is your bloomberg business flash. francine: staying with the emerging markets and consumer inflation, it climbed to the highest since erdogan came to power in turkey. we are back with our guests. jeremy, this goes back to what we saw and the lira over the last couple of months, and affect the president or the one does not -- and the fact that president erdogan does not want higher rates. >> it is an element of both.
5:24 am
markets were frustrated when the central bank did not do as great back in july. they were much more aggressive in the last meeting, but in the light of this uptick in inflation, certainly well above what was expected by the market, and seeing rates moving back into the negligible levels. there will be more pressure on the central banks to act. it puts them in a rather insidious position and the strident criticism -- in the strident criticism. francine: does the fed look at turkey? do they look at argentina and try to mitigate risks? >> you have not really seen them link at all. they would view this relatively as idiosyncratic. i do think the politics around it is much more difficult. contrast that with what is going on in argentina. interesting isas
5:25 am
that these two countries, which were the first emerging-market stabilized over the last few weeks. early to get aggressive across the sovereign space. but we have been looking at emerging-market corp. where we do think -- emerging-market corporate where we do think we see that wave of liquidity coming out of those markets. we have been dipping our tell back in -- we have been dipping our toe back in. we stay on the sidelines on that. tom: i want to show a chart, which is what we have seen it so many em. and is turkey inflation, all you have to know is that it stretches through -- deviations. what does it signal when we see
5:26 am
a six deviation off-trend move in inflation? it has ramifications, doesn't it? >> indeed, it does. it is a legacy function of the collapse and the currency and the confidence in the currency. when you contrast that with the rise in oil prices, then it does underline the fact that the central banks do need to act, and it will imply much lower growth. that is a problem politically for the president. francine: jeremy, thank you so much. on "bloomberg markets," the italian economic advisor.

5:33 am
when we saw iran -- those sanctions are set to hit and a month. we have seen production or outright stopped buying from south korea, japan, and india. the one question is china. continue to ask for --vers to continue including and continue importing crude from iran. tom: thank you. here is jeremy stretch to understand the markets. he is here with $85 oil. what is the linkage between $85 oil? contextnk just in the of the previous communication with moscow, it is a case that oil is impacted by the supply reductions we are seeing from the iranian sanctions. and that is driving up prices.

in the subtext of that,, to that will play through into global inflation into 2019? we have seen a substantial uptick in prices through the course of this year. that does bake inflation into the cake. but i don't think you can draw the usual direct influences in terms of the valuations of oil and the u.s. dollar. us. jeremy stretch with right now, first word news the taylor riggs. taylor: a lawyer for president trump says it is 100% false that the president and his family created the real estate empire through incidents of outright fraud in some cases. he was reacting to a new york times report. evadedes set the trumps taxes on hundreds of millions of dollars that prompted new york state tax authorities to open an investigation. accusing -- the

5:47 am
series of tax maneuvers to radically reduce tax bills to the 1990's. the times claims these amount to a pattern of deception that the irs never seriously challenged, but tax experts of the newspaper i talked to said could be viewed as criminal. saysew york tax authority it will take a look at this. there is nothing clear of what they are going to do yet. but what it does show is that donald trump's claims that he is a self-made man were a centrally --yth by the family self-made man were a myth by the family. francine: the new york state tax authorities have opened this investigation.
5:48 am
how long can this last? three months, six months, year or more? >> these investigations could take a very long time. it takes a long time to get documents and cooperation from witnesses. it could be faster if there are documents and the new york times claims they have read through thousands of pages of documents. the new york state tax authorities could have access to those as well and that could speed it up. the trump family lawyer says there is nothing here. that these are all old allegations and accused the new york times of defaming them. there will be pushback on the trump organization. tom: talent, you have lived these really difficult investigations. i read the lengthy article by the new york times carefully, and as you correctly state, there is a partition of the president, a self-made billionaire, but the past of all of these allegations, all of

these facts, it appears, in many cases, is there a statute of limitation for a family, whether it is fraud or not? isn't there a point where you cannot go back? or are we back to the france of the 17th century? [laughter] >> tom, you know i live in france. tom: yes, i am taking a shot at you. ofthere is a statute limitations on criminal pursuits of these allegations. i wasn't aware of this until i read the article, but in terms of civil penalties, there could be demanded by the new york state attorney's office. that is where the crux wood live. they may be able to go after them for some fines. detailsannot convey the in length, i am not an expert. but alan, it seems like they go in and find one transaction out

."m: "bloomberg surveillance jeremy, when i look at foreign-exchange and the dollar dynamics in oil, what does the cibc called on dollar? jeremy: we are expecting the dollar story to start to run out a momentum toward the end of the year. we are anticipating a cheapening in the valuations of the dollar in 2019. we are assuming the drove -- we are assuming the growth trajectory will grow. we are assuming the fed will be slightly last -- 70 less activist -- will be slightly less activist. that underpins a stronger european -- that underpins a stronger euro dollar view. we are becoming increasingly mindful of the fiscal dynamics in the u.s.
5:55 am
that is something -- the fact we will see that fiscal pressure starting to become more obvious and talked about. francine: let's bring up the chart. tom: this is different than indonesia, turkey. this is india flat on its back years ago with a roof the -- with a rupee. we do it again here one more time. what have we learned about e.m. flat on its back? jeremy: well, it is very much a case when you have emerging-market pressures, it is a case where investors will look for monetary authorities. we were talking about turkey earlier. turkey had been hit by a lack of confidence in terms of the market structures and political risks. if we can see a more proactive response from the r.b.i., and we have that upcoming rate decision
5:56 am
, we will see the r.b.i. be more activist in dealing with the inflationary consequences of this move, that might start to sway some of the market concerns rupeeing the rise and the , which is detrimental to india's exports. tom: much more to talk about, including important conversations with stanley fischer later this morning out of canada. important conversation out of chicago with charles evans. stay for that. this is bloomberg. his is bloomberg.

prices and what they mean for india and indonesia. tom: very good. an important conversation. you saw chairman powell's speech the other day. many presidents of the fed across america. is of the most interesting when mr. evans speaks. our guy johnson with charles evans. >> thank you. yes, chicago fed president charles evans. good morning. desk, i checked where december is priced. 72% was the number. function. are you comfortable with 72%? submitted a summary
6:03 am
of economic projections and the median dot was six rate hikes this year. i am quite comfortable with the expected half embedded. i think my own take on a neutral, longer funds rate is 2.75%, so policy at a slightly 3%, 3.25%e setting at would be consistent with the good economy and inflation. >> you like the idea of a december hike? >> i am quite comfortable, yes. we are not supposed identify which dot is ours. >> a slight softening of inflation data, does that
6:04 am
concern you? >> i think the inflation data picked up in a nice fashion, 2%, under, but has improved quite significantly in the last couple of years. we needed to provide enough accommodation so we got to 2%. fine to goetely above 2% for some time. 2% to come average of the above 2% perhaps. so getting inflation to 2% is in this congressman -- is in a congressman. accomplishment. what was your read on amazon's decision to raise its wages yesterday? it is picking up to around $15. from an amazon point of view, it is interesting, but from an fomc
6:05 am
point of view? what is the reasoning behind all of this? trend whereinues a firms and corporations are announcing modest o adjustments to the lowest entry wages they pay to their workers. they have a variety of skilled workers and their firms, so wage growth has been increasing somewhat over the last year or two. we are at 3% now. during the mid-2000's, we were slightlyand have higher productivity. i think that 3% seems reasonable given demand and the economy growing in a strong fashion, as it is now. aboutirman powell talked
6:06 am
the curve becoming flat. i we getting to the other end of the flatness in this process? resource likend is flat, so even though the unemployment rate has moved down, my own assessment is 4%. even with a steeper phil loves curve, i would not expect much of an increase in -- phillips curve, i would not expect an increase in inflation. my own forecast sees unemployment falling to 3.5% before it picks up more towards a sustainable rate. easily inflation could be 2.1%, 2.2%. it is the fact expectations are anchored a little too well. i think they could be higher and be better consistent with our symmetry around 2%. the inflation outlook seems good. >> jerome powell in boston last , the u.s. economy sounds
6:07 am
on was too good to be true. is that the case? >> fundamentals are strong. strong labor markets, the payrollment rate, inclement growth month after month average around 200,000. that is a strikingly large number. were only replacing incoming workers into the workforce, we would expect month.to 100,000 a it continues to be strong and we are adding 200,000. something good is happening with the labor market. finding work,e increasing their attachment to the workforce. that pay strong dividends going forward. >> picking up on the goldilocks theme, asset prices. the last two recessions were caused by asset price bubbles.
6:08 am
are there asset prices out there that you look at and think things are getting a little top py, the dow hit a record again yesterday. >> we have seen quite a lot of change in public policies. there has been quite a lot of deregulation, which is beneficial for businesses, so they have been optimistic. naturallyis supports stronger asset valuations, and we have seen that. you point out the last two recessions which were preceded by high valuation peaks, and i would say they were each different come because in the 2000 stock market peak when there was a decline from the tech bubble, there wasn't a lot
6:09 am
of leverage embedded in the economy, so we had a mild, but prolonged, recession. a different story because there was so much leverage embedded in the system. leverage is not that big of a concern at the moment. i would say risks are moderate. these are valuations that could will stay around. can i ask you whether you worry about italy? part and parcel of the narrative over here is the narrative about what is happening. down, you talk about what is happening globally. the international situation does impact the domestic focus. how far off the list of concerns
6:10 am
right now does the international story sit, and what part of that is italy? if there was to be a problem in italy, would it delay the ecb, impact euro-dollar? makers,monetary policy the fomc, we are always looking at the international environment, here, the situation -- europe, the situation in the u.k. is of interest. every aspect of the european union economy is interesting. growthger story is around the world is good. of strength -- on strength of the u.k. economy. every country has their own challenges. i come from illinois.
6:11 am
we have our own tension challenges, and how that gets dealt with is more of a know how tohen i appreciate from the standpoint of the u.s., but it looks like financial markets are handling this. >> you could argue the potential not to leave the united states, zone.o leave the euro you talk about the effect of brexit. what is your assessment of the effects? what could a hard brexit deliver for the uk's economy? >> it is difficult to say. looking at the state of where the discussion is, it seems well poised there could be an agreement and maybe things go
6:12 am
well. certainly the economy in the u.k. seems like it is strong. i have seen the forecast and the inflation environment, so it looks pretty good. have had trade discussions and renegotiation of nafta. it is a difficult thing to watch. the outcome seems to have been pretty agreeable, so in the case of brexit and the eu, it will work out as well. the link between brexit, trade, and the u.s. >> let me wrap up the conversation with the united states. massive 2.0 seen a usmca. what is your assessment of the economic impact that evolution will have? closer to illinois than italy di.
6:13 am
>> it is latebreaking news. elementsas if many tpp were rolled into resolving a couple of other issues, so i ,hink the auto import situation there is some content adjustment there, but it does not look like that will be a tremendous challenge. on balance, it will continue to be quite positive for all three countries, and businesses that have arranged their supply chains crossing the border ifularly, it was a big risk that was to be altered in a way they had to move their operations, so that relief is welcome. >> you don't see this having a significant economic impact? >> there are benefits as to what a free trade agreement means for the larger area and whether that could be extended to other countries and allies that would
6:14 am
be envision with tpp, that would be a benefit. >> china is the next question. what is your assessment of the aonomic impact that china and trade war with china is having? it looks like it is starting to show up in some of the data, showing the effects of that going through. do expect the affected to increase? ultimately see this being resolved in terms of the way you are planning and modeling? >> tariff issues are quite complicated. you can easily imagine individual businesses are affected in a strong way. are using steel as an important part of your production process, prices have gone up dramatically, but in terms of its overall effect on there wereonomy, if
6:15 am
a permanent rearrangement of activities that would reduce the effect on growth per se, there would be a a lot of losers, some winners, but growth would only be diminished by a few tenths of a percentage point each year for a time. it is always difficult to get a handle on that. it affects a number of parties and the different way. economy wide, it is not as large. china is an interesting and complicated situation. i can understand the trade thetionships we have and supply chains put in place, but the issue of how you deal with ip protection is a big one. it is so big that i often go, that is not what i know for proper advice, but a big heart of their conversation seems to be aimed at getting the attention of each party to
6:16 am
address that in a more productive way. typical wto negotiations drag on for years and years. the current approach is geared toward something happening much more quickly than that. renegotiationa has taken place in the timeframe that it has come a may be something will work out. >> maybe something will work out. just to come back to the economics of it here he talked about the impact -- economics of it. you talked about the impact of growth. the inflationary impact is? >> probably modest. it usually would find itself into relative rise changes. relative price changes are not inflationary necessarily. i think we could take that into account and focus on our inflation objective over the medium horizon. it would be fine. >> thank you very much for your time today. charles evidence joining us.
6:17 am
back to you. >> guy johnson with a great interview from charles evans, chicago president and chief executive. some headlines coming in from italy. this is in the way of concessions from the eu. it is pretty much priced into the market, although i would love to get a euro check to see if there is further movement. is speaking to the business lobby, saying the attack government is committed to cutting debt towards the eu objective. it depends on whether the market believes him. he did promise to percent. you can see euro at that level. tom: very good. to follow on this conversation with charles evans, then stanley fischer later this morning.
6:18 am
our guest joins us now. it is wonderful to have you here . do we know the reaction? charles evans has always been an idiosyncratic academic with a real humility about the functions of what is going on? >> i agree with everything he said about the rate hike path of the fed thinks it is on. it is next that things get more fuzzy. raisingpy with the fed rates three times next year. some issues are uncertain. know.riffs, we don't the 10% tariffs on $200 billion is going up to 25%. we have the threat of further tariffs on the remaining $270 billion. that is a real wild card for growth and inflation. >> are we wrong so far?

dothe old days we didn't this. we looked at december, and that was it. why do we think we have dots into the summer of next year? mario draghi did that with one headline on the bloomberg. >> gtv the fed -- >> the fed gives us the dots. it is impossible not to be drawn into the discussion how did they get them. i welcome the transparency, but and reduce a conversation about how we should take them. leastk they will get at three next year. they might get four or five. two.s are like one or so we had this bunching of use where the fed is, but we have these unknowns because the tariff situation is such a wildcard am a plus the labor market. it is in great shape.
6:20 am
it is not threatening the inflation forecast. the middle of next year, it might be, because maybe that labor markets to looks curve is getting steep. amazon has demonstrated that clearly. the scarcity premium for labor is rising. productivity growth is rising, inflation is higher, maybe we will see higher wage growth in the fed wants to see. francine: do you worry about a policy mistake or the markets miss pricing that, dollar strong and contagion to emerging markets? >> i do. i would not call it a mistake from the fed's perspective. is the bac feedback , which markets don't, which markets don't trust, the leadership, the current account the picture. em's are at risk if the fed is
6:21 am
raising rates. 'sfortunately i think the em in trouble now will be in more trouble down the line. i am reasonably confident the fed will do as much as they say they will do. for someplace that's going to be very difficult. francine: what is your take on italy? should we trust the finance minister and what he says? >> to try and comply and comply and comply are not the same thing. they are encouraging noises. the 2% number is what everyone wants. on the face of it, this is a welcome development, but the devil is in the details and the execution is more important than the intention. intention is the first up in the right one, so happy for now. francine: until what? are you expecting more volatility in italy? click italy have an existential question about participation in
6:22 am
could italy have an existential question about participation in europe? brexit allnot 2016 over again, where there was significant public support. in a deadly come as support for leaving the eurozone is 30% or less. this is an issue that will not go away. i don't think there is a head of steam that would beat me to lose sleep over a fundamental breakup of the euro. wouldleaving the eurozone be a catastrophe for italy and everyone else in the eurozone. it is unlikely at this point. tom: where are we in terms of global growth? we have the economic outlook next week, widely speculated to be a markdown and growth, but then we have other interviews that say things are ok, not bad, but then all of a sudden oil is $85 a barrel. instability into
6:23 am
that underpins all these conversations? >> that is a real risk because the oil story plays out differently depending on where you look. the u.s. now response to higher oil prices positively, because the gain in the oil business outweighs the hit to consumers. tom: in the u.s., not india. >> absolutely. if you are an oil importer, you have a problem. this is a new thing for the u.s. higher oil prices are now a positive because of the immediate response in the shale business to the prospect of making more money. , the story is the same as it ever was. if you are a net importer and prices are rising, you have a multitude of problems. willans central banks probably have to raise rates to dampen the risk of the currency,
6:24 am
which has weakened substantially, and it will be painful. it is not because they have done anything wrong on domestic policy. they are at the mercy of the fed in the oil price. at $75 for wti and 80 field dollars for brent, this is a difficult position. francine: is there a price to perfection here? if it goes higher, maybe it will hit demand. to $95 maximum because the market will readjust itself? >> there is a redistribution of income around the world, so there becomes a point where it becomes painful for oil consumers. the hint to oil consumers globally tends to be more negative than the gains come in because the producers don't spend all the money they are making, so we get a slowdown. this is coming at a time where the global industrial cycle has peaked.
6:25 am
pmi's around the world have peaked. they are stable, but not rising. goes, as the global cycle this is a good place to be. if you have been looking for further incremental improvements this year than last year, that was always going to be tough because last year was pretty good. now as not revealed plausible to go to a better place from here. saying not the same as the developing economies are about to rollover. i don't think they are. markets, especially in europe, were looking for italy to be better. that was never realistic or the rising oil prices will make that more difficult. francine: overall, what does the price due to the economy if it goes to $100 question mark >> in spending more capital in the shale business and higher gas prices. the net effect will probably be positive.
6:26 am
in 2015-2016, oil claps from $100 a barrel to $25 a barrel. wth slowed.o , it is bad, but for the u.s., probably a small positive. ian shepherdson. coming up, a conversation with patrick parker, president of the philadelphia fed. the linkage here to the complex industries and manufacturing of history strict. please stay with us. a beautiful new york after the rain, this is bloomberg. ♪

it is amazing she has lasted a year. does it mean she will last until the end of brexit negotiations? no one really wants that job. >> it is the worst job in the world. it is amazing how many people want the worst job in the world. the problem is getting their hands on it because the way the conservative party elected leaders. boris johnson wanted the job badly. they have to get sufficient support from parliamentary colleagues to get to the vote among the party membership in the country. they don't have that support from their colleagues, so they are leaving theresa may dangling. theycould topple her, but are not sure one of them could in thisher, so she is limbo where i don't think she can last much longer, but for now suits all sides to have her twisting in the wind rather than one of them. they will say paralysis and
