1:05 am
from the stock market to fixed income, they are bracing for $230 billion worth of new paper that comes to the market. our mliv question of the day today, 10 year treasury yields by the end of the year. --ve or below three points 3.25%? ask the guests a question, the idea will come through to the team. jpmorgan asset management says by bonds this morning. let's get back to juliette saly for your first word news. good morning. juliette: u.s. president donald trump has repeated his criticism that the federal reserve is moving too fast with interest rate increases. he dismissed concerns that inflation extending his run of criticism that central banks have disregarded as they push ahead with higher borrowing costs. that is not a view shared by the dallas fed president.
1:06 am
>> there is no question cyclical pressures, inflationary pressures are building. what i mean by cyclical, tight labor markets. the tariffs. steel, aluminum, input cost, oil prices being higher. juliette: donald trump has said he is considering goldman sachs and tina powell to replace nikki haley as investor to the u.n.. he is considering five people for the job including powell. the president did not name the other four, but said the u.s. ambassador to germany is not among them. a major u.s. telecoms company has discovered in a belated -- manipulated hardware and removed it according to documents, analysis, and other evidence. it follows a bloomberg report that details how china's intelligence services had ordered subcontractors to plant
1:07 am
malicious chips in supra might -- supermicro server motherboards. italy's finance minister has said the government is worried by the unacceptable bond yield spread. his admission of concern came as he appealed for calm amid a war of words between the government and european union authorities over the spending program for the coming year. he offered no signs the government will change its plans , repeating targets that have already led to the bond selloff. hurricane michael's winds are set to rise to category 4 strength before it slams into florida. residents have been asked to evacuate. system,-moving weather which could cause $15 billion in gulf ofas already cut mexico oil production by 40% and natural gas output by 28%.
1:08 am
warnings and watches have been issued as far north as the carolinas. global news 24 hours a day on air and at tictoc on twitter powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. anna: thank you very much. the imf is warning that investors are under -- underestimating the risk of a financial stock. there is complacency about the possibility of a sharp tightening of economic conditions. joining us now is the chief economist and -- for america and europe at standard chartered. good to have you with us. i was reminded of a key anniversary. 10 euros ago on monday we saw central banks globally coming together to give a big shot in the arm with a big interest-rate cut during the financial crisis. a fascinating reminder as we sit here and wonder whether higher interest rates are going to cause trauma for financial markets.
1:09 am
quite the imf has been warning about this for some time. if we go back to the april report, we had similar warnings about the risks of central banks risksning to quickly, the that financial conditions could become adverse for markets and economies, and also generally stretchedout the nature of some assets. i think this is what we have had again. the warning about overvaluation of assets, particularly in the u.s., a repeat of this morning about central bank tightening and the risks to financial stability in general for the global economy. having said that, there were measured warnings. they recognize that at the same time, interest rates are low for emerging markets. fundamentals are --
1:10 am
anna: manus? manus: good morning to you. this is a chart we have used several times. i want to type back to what jpmorgan are saying. the worst-performing one is the performance in china and the eurozone. jpmorgan asset management says global growth is going to slow. it will not take much to bring about a recession. a spike in oil. would you agree? are we one step away from a real economic reversal? >> i certainly agree with those three risks to the global economy. tightening policy, higher energy prices, trade wars, of course, do present a threat in particular at the moment. a slowdown seeing is
1:11 am
in chinese activity. beijing taking action to make sure that some of the impact from slower trade is being offset by stronger infrastructure spending. fiscal stimulus. have cut the required reserve ratio. we expect further cuts to ensure liquidity. from the chinese perspective we are confident is going to be around 6% this year. that is not bad at all. large blockhe other in the global economy, europe also going at an above trend pace. i would not be calling for global recession anytime soon. anna: what kind of landing or going to get in the united states? i ask because we have this mliv question of the day. the question is whether we are going to end above or below 3.25% on u.s. 10 years. it is interesting to ask this in
1:12 am
the context of where we have seen yields going. we will show you the question and put up this chart that shows u.s. yields breaking through key levels. the market seems to be rethinking where we are going on treasuries. >> our view is that 3.25% is around the peak. willink 10 year yields struggle to get substantially higher than 3.25%. by the end of the year, we are 2019,ing looking ahead to markets may well be anticipating sustained fed rate hiking. we expect four rate hikes by the fed in 2019. if markets are starting to take that on board, that suggests the long end of the yield curve will be holding around current levels. there is a lovely piece by robert burgess. he writes great stuff, he is one of our opinion column writers.
1:13 am
he says the one missing ingredient is inflation. realized inflation and inflation expectations are the big missing piece of the ingredient. pce fromad a drop in 2.2%. is it as nascent as the data would look? or are we building toward an inflationary spiral in 2019? >> the headline data suggests that inflation is not a problem at the moment. what we are seeing in surveys and behind-the-scenes are rising great pressures. that is where we need to pay attention. higher energy prices do feed through the high headline inflation. core inflation, it is what is happening on the ground to wages. the fed has pointed to higher wage awards at the margins. even though the and if i being rb pointed to nf
1:14 am
shortages of labor and the low level of rates, at a certain point wages are going to be adjusted up. we do not think there is going to be a sudden jolt in inflation , but certainly enough for the fed to feel the need to continue to raise rates. we expect 3.5% by the end of next year. anna: the fed talking overnight in asia saying low u.s. -- echoing that goldilocks theme. thank you, chief economist for americas and europe at standard chartered. she stays with us. coming up, trade of the decade. emerging-market equities space their worst year since 2011. why one firm thinks emerging markets are -- later on we are going to
1:15 am
get the south african reserve chair in his first interview of the day. that is at 7:00 a.m. u.k. time.
1:16 am
1:17 am
1:18 am
anna: good morning, everybody from london. it is 6:18 here in london. 1:18 in the morning if you are in new york. futures suggest it will be flat at the start of the trading day. they look flat for the u.s. session. let's get a bloomberg business flash. lvmh is concerned that chinese demand for high-end -- dior like the hour makeup remains strong. previous --
1:19 am
ago, he was shorting chinese currency. now he is long on copy drinkers revealing a stick of 1.8 in starbucks. the largestina is growth opportunity, which could help shares double in the next three years. fiat chrysler is nearing a deal to sell its high-tech cars parts unit after the japanese firm raised its bid. bloomberg has learned cal sonic, owned by kkr, have reached a tentative agreement on price. are said to be negotiating a valuation of five-and-a-half billion euros. aftbank is in talks to take majority stake in wework as the
1:20 am
startup raises additional capital. the japanese conglomerate is likely to invest several billion dollars on top of the $4.4 billion softbank and its vision fund put in last year. vision fund chief said wework was seeking to raise more funds. that is your bloomberg business flash. manus: thank you very much. emerging-market equities are flashing the buy signal according to research affiliates , a sub advisor of the money managers including pimco. was made backhat in february 2016, that called emerging markets the trade of the decade. the advice proved pressey and. stocks -- proved prescie nt.stocks surged 80%. that is a heck of a call coming
1:21 am
through from research associates -- research affiliates in terms of emerging markets. i want to get a sense from you in terms of what the indonesian central banker has been telling jerome powell at the meeting, which is you need to be mindful that a spillover of your policies is real for many countries. do you think the messages from the indonesians and others will be heard at the feds table? >> i think policy -- fed policy is very much targeted on what is happening in the u.s. economy. , that gradual tightening, we do not think that's going to change. for emerging markets, the risk is if there were to be a sudden acceleration in fed tightening, if the fed were -- found itself behind the curve, we do not
1:22 am
think that is the case. we think there is going to be a clear flagging of further tightening policy. facingerging markets are a lot of challenges from high energy prices. they are not energy exporters. they're concerned about trade wars as well. some of our work has suggested asian countries could see beneficiaries of the trade spat between the u.s. and china. it is not all negative. anna: other countries could benefit in the context of trade tensions in the technology tensions we have been reporting. where stands to benefit? india was doing very well. there was optimism around structural reform in india. it looks as if the markets are not quite so optimistic there. what is the story with india for you? >> the india story is a tough
1:23 am
one. it is a twin deficit country. we have seen the rupee down by 8% since the start of the year. a big decline in the value of their currency. i think our focus now is on what happens with state and regional elections later in the year. markets perhaps are not paying enough attention to those risks. tothink the rupee is likely stay under pressure over the next couple months as a result of that. the economic fundamentals, we continue to see strong growth. the corporate sector is relatively invested. prices don't help the deficit problem either. manus: they certainly don't. hold those thoughts, because we have been thoughts from the imf world meeting in bali. >> the u.s. policy needs to be
1:24 am
mindful the spillover effects of their policy is real for many countries. having the meeting in indonesia in bali, i hope jerome powell, europe, china, japan, will be aware that you are here in a country which is doing all the right things and yet we have to be very vigilant with the global environment changing very fast. calldo not think this is a for excessive concern provided countries manage the policies well, especially in this part of the world. there is no question. this is going to be a volatile journey. it is going to be with us another 12 to 18 months. >> in today's highly connected economy, international developments affect the u.s. economy and policy actions
1:25 am
affect the rest of the world. therefore we devote considerable effort to monitoring in the analysis and developers around the world to understand how our actions affect global economy and indirectly feedback into our economy. >> the effect in terms of confidence of the global mechanism of how a dispute should be settled is really huge. we are facing a situation in on a a country cannot rely mechanism other than -- when you have a dispute. that is a huge cost for the global economy. isglobal growth this year lower than last year, probably another shade lower next year.
1:26 am
i think what is interesting is the underlying resilience of the global economy. you are not seeing major collapses in growth in any part of the world. emerging economies are slowing from last year. slower growth in and of itself coming from a high bid is not cause for concern. >> financial balances continue to build up. the new system remains untested. risks to financial stability have increased. risks in the medium-term remain elevated. while there are reasons for optimism, this is no time for complacency. anna: some of the voices coming to us from ali -- bali. the fed's williams acknowledging the role the fed has on monitoring the impact of its policies on emerging markets and how that feedback loop works. very topical.
1:27 am
up next, european politics. don't miss our interview with citigroup's level political analyst, joining the european open team at 8:30 p.m. u.k. time.
1:28 am
1:29 am
1:30 am
manus: a live shot of london, waiting for the sun to rise. it is the pound you want to keep an eye on. we are just touching slightly higher levels. we have the journal article yesterday afternoon staying -- saying a deal could be close at hand followed by 30 to 40 labor mps could be posed to defy jeremy corbyn and endorse a deal to prevent no deal brexit. soft brexit rising. those are your markets, let's take a deeper dive on what's going on.
1:31 am
annmarie hordern is with us. good morning. >> a bit of a mixed picture this morning in asia. we have china down as well as the kospi back from holiday and south korea, down 0.8%. on the bright side, japan higher , rising after four days of losses. the msci asia-pacific index is higher led by energy, health care, financials. on the downside we have telecoms and materials falling a bit lower. as you said, futures pointing to a slightly lower start. in the treasury market, looking at the 10 year yield everyone is talking about, what is happening on a long-term basis, it could be breaking through a trend line that has not been breached in more than 30 years. redcan see that in this first top trend line. on the short term, the 10 year yield flipped from its seven-year high, trading below 3.25%.
1:32 am
the u.s.ave in focused government plans to sell $23 billion worth of notes today. we cannot forget donald trump taking aim at the fed is saying they are moving too fast with rate increases. i was looking at this yesterday and wants to bring it up again. michael looks like it's going to be making landfall today in florida. inhave the gulf of mexico terms of oil production cutting 40%. natural gas, they have cut that out that by 28%. wti trading above $74 on these concerns. saying yesterday entering a red energy market. today i will be speaking to -- speaking about demand concerns in the oil market. absolutely. thank you very much. there is a link between commodities and the treasury market. we take you to our mliv question of the day.
1:33 am
that is the market live blog. will the 10 year treasury yield and the year above or below 3.25%? a simple one to ask. let us know your thoughts. hit the ask the guest the question button. that sends a direct message to the steam -- the team that put this program together. u.s. president donald trump hazard. his criticism that the federal reserve is moving too fast with interest rate increases. he also dismissed concerns about , his criticism that central bankers have disregarded as they push ahead with higher borrowing causes -- costs. that is not a view shared by robert kaplan. donald trump has said he is considering goldman sachs group deana powell to replace his ambassador to the u.n.. he is considering five people
1:34 am
for the job including powell. the president did not name the other four but said the u.s. ambassador to germany is not among them. >> there is no question cyclical pressures, inflationary pressures, we believe our building. what i mean by cyclical, tight labor market. the tariffs. steel, aluminum, oil prices. a major u.s. telecoms company has discovered manipulated hardware from a super micro computer in its accordingd removed it to a security expert, who provided documents and other evidence of the discovery. it follows a bloomberg businessweek report that details how china's intelligence service ordered subcontractors to place malicious chips in supermicro server motherboards. italy's finance minister has said the government is worried by the, quote, on acceptable
1:35 am
bond yield spread. the admission of concern came as he appealed for calm amid a war of words between the government and european union authorities over the spending program for the coming year. he offered no sign the government will change its plans , refuting the targets that have already led to the bond selloff. a former personal assistant to the goldman sachs ceo has killed himself on the afternoon he was to plead guilty to stealing more than $1 million in wine from his former boss. theumped from his room on 33rd floor of the carlyle hotel on east 76th street around 2:30 p.m. local time yesterday. it was the exact time he was scheduled to plead guilty in federal court in manhattan to interstate transportation of stolen property in connection with that. -- in connection with theft. this is bloomberg.
1:36 am
let's take a look at what you should be watching for the day ahead. denmark's justice and business ministers are going to attend a parliamentary committee meeting on the danske bank money-laundering scandal. that story has been brutal on the stock price. >> indeed. and it goes wider, bringing in the sector as a whole. u.k.'s theresa may faces her first prime minister's questions since the conservative party conference. there could be labor rebels about to rebel against their leader and back her plan. manus: with those lines yesterday afternoon, how close could a potential deal be? everything inrate terms of soft brexit. we are going to get michelle barnier, he's going to present
1:37 am
the draft political later on. let's turn our attention to the ongoing war of words between the european union and the italian governments. the finance minister has said he wants constructive discussions with the eu over the country's plan for its 2019 budget. anna: he admitted he is worried by the unacceptable -- on acceptable bond yield spread, which yesterday was near the widest in five years. officials have said italy's situation is vulnerable and talks can prove difficult. the chief economist for americas and europe is still with us from standard chartered. you have been wrestling with this difficult matter. i've a chart that shows the italian yield premium over bonds -- bunds. you can see what the market is worried about. this is a concern attached to italy in your mind. there seems to be a view on getting from a few guests that
1:38 am
something that stays in italy. >> it is very much an italian issue. i think it will stay so. it is focused on the italian budget. italy proposing a budget deficit of 2.4% of gdp, three times what was earlier agreed with the previous administration. the question is, what is italian debt going to be declining? it has stabilized in recent years. anna: there is not quite the contingency there is with other european crises. maybe the banking looks different. >> last time when we saw peripheral debt spreads widening out, we had the great crisis and that greece would go crashing out of the euro. that they would default on debt. that contagion spread to italy,
1:39 am
spain, portugal, ireland, as we know. it isime around, i think the very early stages and the european central bank in the has that program it could launch. manus: one thing which caught my eye is in terms of the german growth story. it seems to be coming under a little bit of pressure. the number of imports dropping into negative territory. when you look at europe from the chief economist hat, what wealth is deliverable? i will find the chart. >> we are expecting growth around 1.5% to 2% for the euro area. that is above trend. loweredingly, the imf its forecast for german growth. germany was one of the biggest
1:40 am
downgrades of growth for this year from the imf. that does reflect the impact of trade wars. domestic demand is still strong. investment is growing. unemployment is low. consumers are spending. we do not have particularly extended concerns over the outlook for germany or the rest of the region. we think growth is going to stay at the trend pace this year, next year, the year after. policy is accommodated from the fiscal side. anna: let's talk about brexit. we saw the pound on the move. reports about what could be possible by monday. saying there are voices and monday saying something could be -- voicesf my monday in brussels saying something could be possible by monday. are you very focused on the near-term and what kind of deal we get? or are you thinking it's
1:41 am
something comes soon, it will kick the can? >> we are looking minute by minute, hour by hour, week by week, year by year. the implications are very significant for the u.k. economy for years to come. but we are finding that we are getting developments in hour-by-hour. the key is what about the backstop? it does look as though there is a breakthrough on this question of the irish backstop. there may be coming together of the eu and the u.k. government side. that is important in terms of allowing a deal to be done between brussels and westminster. the big hurdle is, will the deal get through the u.k. parliaments? that vote will come at the end of this year, early next year. mpsre hearing from labor
1:42 am
may be willing to support the government on this. we know within the government the numbers may not add up. manus: isn't that the whole point? even if we get a backstop and we get a pro forma agreement, the risk is the u.k. parliament deal and picks the then we are back in two higher tail risks -- the back into higher tail risks. >> if that happens we are in no man's land. there is talk of new leadership for the conservative party. there is talk of a new election. that would take us into unknown territory. getting the deal through parliament is what counts. we think a deal can be done between the eu and the u.k. governments. we are not sure about the number of mps that are going to be supporting that deal when it comes to a vote. anna: rebels in all directions.
1:43 am
thank you. chief economist for americas and europe at standard chartered. let's turn our attention to a european corporate making news. for says chinese demand handbags and makeup remains strong, extending the luxury industry boom. the company's sales grew 10% in the third quarter in line with , despite aecasts tough base from which to compare. let's talk now to bloomberg's luxury reporter in paris. very good to have you with us. lvmh sells more of the world's oldest brands. how are they still growing by double digits? isn't it phenomenal they have managed to tap into these ongoing scenes of growth? china.ly is the chinese market has been growing fast for luxury brands. it is already accounting for one third of sales.
1:44 am
about two thirds of growth. even though you have had talk about a trade war between china and the u.s. concerning luxury that could slow down consumer spending as well as a weaker yen, a weaker chinese yuan, excuse me, the demand has proven to be resilient all year from china. manus: let's talk about the standouts. it was in the fashion division. when you look at the segments of -- within lvmh relative to the watches, the booze department, it is 36% of their overall revenue. talk me through how they managed to deliver that. >> the fashion and leather goods division this year was the first time to have integrated christian dior couture. christian dior is the oldest brand that the chairman owns.
1:45 am
he has owned that since long before he took control of lvmh. he always owned it through a separate holding company. this is the first quarter since lvmh page $6 billion to acquire it. christian dior has been growing fast this quarter. they day successful launch for their handbag. it is a really iconic back from the early 2000's. they brought it back this year after being several years off the market. they did a big instagram campaign to make sure everybody knew about it. anna: thank you very much for the analysis. we will keep an eye on this as it starts trading today. on the program, oil is above $74 a barrel on concerns hurricane michael may exacerbate a supply crunch. manus: a little bit later on we are going to bring you this interview at 3:30 u.k. time.

1:49 am
anna: good morning, everybody. this is "bloomberg daybreak: europe." let's look at what is trending. washington post columnist is feared to be dead after his mysterious disappearance in turkey. he was last seen heading into .he saudi consulate in istanbul had to twitter to find out more. we asked the crown prince about that some days ago. manus: we understand donald
1:50 am
trump's next big conversation. we moved to new evidence of the supermicro hardware in the network of a major telecommunications company. that was back in august according to a security export -- expert working for the company. anna: the china hack story lives on. donald trump says he is considering goldman's dina powell to replace nikki haley. amazon web services, the cloud computing division, has signed combined $1rth a million. also on the bloomberg terminal, uber is sending out investors on a bond sale after it attacked the leverage loan market.
1:51 am
you can find those stories and more across all of our platforms from tictoc to the website to the terminal. manus: we are global. let's talk about the oil market. it is trading at the moment on brent we are at nearly $85. wti at almost $75. there are concerns the united states may exacerbate the supply crunch. production down in the gulf of mexico by 40%. higher prices could put the world economy at risk. who better to divine the oil market? it is michael tan, oil and gas commodities strategist. great to have you on the set in london. heard the oil markets are entering a red zone. should they? will they? good morning.
1:52 am
>> thank you for having me. we agree with that. the term he used was red zone. i think exactly that in the sense that when you are fundamentally speaking, the oil market is at the tightest point we have seen. the market is going to need more barrels to come online. unfortunately, when you look at opec, there is only so much left in the tank they can bring online in terms of spare capacity. when you look at producers like the u.s., you have bottlenecks. they cannot bring that much more online to save the day in the grand scheme of things. at the same time, what you have seen as demand continues to be resilient despite higher oil prices. we continue to draw down inventories in a big way. this is happening at a very inopportune time given that iranian sanctions are kicking in and venezuela continues the downward spiral. we think in terms of prices the
1:53 am
risk is high from this point on. anna: the risk as we go higher as these supply constraints continue. what about the iran story? president clinton was saying to trump -- president putin was saying to trump, look in the mirror. is there any sense in the oil community something changes that? >> it is a bit of a self-inflicted wound with president trump. the reason being he put these sanctions on. prices are higher, not making him happy. the key thing is there have been suggestions that there may be some waivers given to some countries. i think the correct term there is significant reduction exemptions. the key thing is that does not signal a major change in policy in anyway when you look at how iran is playing out here. we are still three or four weeks
1:54 am
ahead of the november 4 deadline for sanctions. you have seen significant reductions from europe, south korea, japan. india is doing a large amount. china is starting to reduce imports as well of iranian crude. the bottom line is president trump's policies on iran are extremely stringent, more crippling than they were under the obama administration. well: i think that is flagged in the market. we seem to have stepped back a bit from the 2 billion barrels everybody thought. you say iran and venezuela are getting the headlines, but we should be looking at libya and iraq. first of all, the numbers as far as you know it. >> earlier this summer, iran was exporting as much as 2.2, 2.3 million barrels a day. we think that comes down to 800,000 barrels a day or potentially lower depending on
1:55 am
how china looks. the major thing here is not so much where exports ultimately go , but what else could potentially break given how tight this market is. when you look at countries like , thoseiraq, nigeria countries are on a wild winning streak right now. any point in time you can see their production go down by several hundred thousand barrels a day because a foreclosure in libya, attacking oil fields and pipelines in nigeria, over the past couple weeks we have seen demonstrations in iraq. they have been on a winning streak in the sense that they have been able to increase production. about 750,000 barrels a day. we believe that to be unsustainable. anna: what about the demand story from here? market going to be destroyed by prices getting too
1:56 am
high, or by trade tensions finally finding their way into the data, into consumers minds? >> trade tensions are something to be concerned about. in terms of how high can oil prices go, the question i have been asking is, are oil prices actually high, or just higher than they have been recently? i think the answer is it depends the you ask. if you are major importing country and your currency has devalued relative to the u.s. dollar, of course you are paying materially higher amounts more than perhaps we have ever seen. india is a perfect example. to be clear we have not seen demand destruction globally. manus: thank you for sharing your thoughts this morning. what goes on in the oil market, the shortages and bottlenecks. michael tran. let's leave the viewers with a quick look at the mliv question
