shery: welcome back. indonesian-- the rupiah is stable and steps are being taken to rein in the budget. best the budget deficit. consensus is no rate hikes today in indonesia, but why do some analysts disagree? >> first, let us put on the table white people are saying they will not hike rates again and as we do so, that is jump into our #gtv charts. bank indonesia has hiked rates five times since may, you have 5 and atne, 2, 3, 4, this level, they have helped to stabilize the currency. so people are saying that they do not need to do anymore and that is weather service says they will keep the rate at 5.75% -- that is why the bloomberg survey says they will keep the 5.75%. the bank of indonesia governor

says he is committed to preemptive policy to counter the rupee has stress. meaning that he will. hike the rate. but analysts are saying that it is not clear that ringing in the current account deficit is enough to keep the currency steady. it may reflect the influx of imstors to bali for the meeting. i certainly changed my dollars into rupiah, so i know what they're talking about. also, trade war angst is still in place, the fed is signaling the path to more rate hikes and the indonesian current account deficit is getting narrow because of steps the government has taken, that is not established yet and that is the key for making the rate hike. haidi: kathleen, what else are we watching in terms of the central bank this week? italy and its budget battles, refusing to back down

from eu pressure to stay with their budget plan. they say they have to help their poor citizens and it is going to increase spending and cut expenses for people, all this -- in fact, they have been telling finance ministers to say that it is difficult, but necessary to this. such a big deal that the italian prime minister weighed in, saying that they should be hopeful, we will meet our deficit target. here is what he said earlier. >> the 2.4% target is our upper limit. we can still reassess. doing the budget implementation, it containment, so we don't necessarily need to reach the 2.4%. for sure, we will not exceed this? kathleen: and all of this is going on as a european central bank gets ready for its meeting on tuesday. thing special expected from

that meeting, but the standoff between the populist government in italy and the powers that be in brussels are is creating uncertainty around the economy and markets and it will be interesting to see if that comes out, certainly, in the presser after the meeting on monday. haidi: kathleen hays a new york for us. eu, there is ahe lot to occupy the month for investors. let us look at the biggest risk of the moment, northern trust executive vice president crawl tennenbaum, he spent four years at an advisor at the federal reserve, where he led the risk section. thank you for joining us. interesting conversation with someone who is on the more cautious side of this story and he said yesterday that the idea of the u.s. facing off a recession risk anytime soon -- listen to what he said. >> look, our economy is still

doing very well, in a few months it will become the longest recovery in history and i don't believe there are signs of recession anytime soon. into theis is heading longest recovery we have seen. but he wishes are pretty much close to the richest they have seen. of thethink the longer economy runs hot, the steeper the follow be? >> i have to say, it is incredible to me that such a great situation is kindling so much anxiety. we need to remember that during the course of this nearly 10-year expansion, we faced a lot of challenges, including from europe and asia, and we traded right through them. the economy is resilient. there is no reason to deal we could best there is no reason to think we cannot deal with it here. haidi: let us deal with policy mistakes first.

you are at the fed for four years, dealing with risk. we don't know what will happen, we have never had to unwind from this kind of extraordinary monetary policy decision before. is it satisfactory to be told that it will be a smooth landing? carl: we do have a blueprint or fly pattern -- flight plan for the smooth landing, but the fed has moved at a measured pace. i think the communication by a large has been good, but as he met expect, as they get closer to the end point, things get murky because you are not exactly sure what the neutral level is that neither restricts or accommodates. we are also watchful for signs of any financial imbalances? shery: that the fed would like to avoid what about communication from the white house? president trump is talking about another batch of tax-cut for middle income people and the has been noise surrounding that. how challenging is it to discern

noise from actual policy? carl: it is a full-time job, i can tell you. as somebody from twitter, separating the signal from the noise really absorbs a lot of the day. taxut it into context, that cats put into place boosted the rate of economic growth to this summer months, but they will 2019.ly wear off in additionally, we just got the full year results of the federal good. and they were not 17% higher deficits, and i suspect many in congress, regardless of the midterm elections, will be cautious about another tax cut that will increase the deficit further? shery: yes, we just heard that it reached almost 800 billion dollars, a six year high in president trump's first full year in office. we will see risks emanating from this when it comes to budget deficit and debt within the u.s. economy? carl: i think their risk is there. so far, investors don't seem to

be that alarmed, even our long-term interest rates have gone up, somewhat. the demand for treasuries internationally is still very strong. . perhaps that is only by comparison with other fixed world.markets around the nevertheless, long-term projections for the united states and other countries are affected by the them a graphics developed markets are facing. pensions and medical care will put this stress on the markets in the next two years unless markets are put in their rightful place. haidi: the popular narrative spews isident trump that this is hurting china more than it is hurting the u.s.. we are looking at this indication suggesting that exports are down, whether it is due to the trade war or whether it is structural factors of what the economy is doing, it is due to slow. 10 has been the factory of the world for a long time, but it is

also the end consumer of the world in a lot of ways. will this be bad for global or regional growth? carl: excellent question. i know there are many focused on china and in some measure on whether they played fairly in the trade arena or whether their economic gains have come at the expense of other countries. i think that issuance the chinese have achieved -- i think the issue is that the chinese have achieved a lot of success and their consumers purchase more products from overseas. nevertheless, it is clear from conversations i have heard with people that businesspeople would like to level the playing field with china, which puts their economic expansion at a risk. haidi: do you think the fed and policymakers in the u.s. will have to react to the impact of the tariff war? how will the transmission will see a boost in short-term inflation, maybe stagflation around the track as growth slows? carl: it is hard to tell, it has

been featured in credit number of statements from the fed -- featured in quite a number of statements from the fed. is small, but if the process continues to its full extent, they will have to take into account in their policy. if it is inflationary at the same time as global growth is slowing, that is not a conversation that central banks well.ith very haidi: we appreciate your insights and coming on ensuring them with us. remember, bloomberg users can interact with the charts showing g tv , you can browse recent charts featured on tv, save them for future reference. this is bloomberg. ♪

say we may not see a repeat of that enthusiasm. >> absolutely right. tech stocks probably the only bright spot ahead of this mega earnings. there are risks out there. asian futures down across the board. there is skepticism that the rally in chinese stocks will continue. you've got trade tensions, you've got the italian budget, you've got the death of the saudi journalist, and one of the other things that is coming up on the radar is the midterm elections. when you put that together with a higher bond yield, both morgan stanley and goldman sachs are saying that you may not see a bounce in the fourth quarter that we have seen in the last few years. we've got a chart in the library that shows the s&p 500 has risen

in the fourth quarter in eight of the last nine years. there's a real chance that may not happen given increased volatility as the midterm elections come up in a couple weeks. correction.ee the goldman sachs also says a rebound is less likely. >> there are some people that think the one in china is dead as well. >> bank of america merrill lynch says the biggest rally in chinese stocks that we saw 2016 isy since early sentiment driven and unlikely to be sustained. they point out the high leverage in the stock market, uncertain outlook. there is a deteriorating economic outlook from the trade tensions. we've got a chart that shows despite yesterday's bounce in

the shanghai composite, it remains one of the worst performing markets in asia. one thing to note is this time around it is smaller private companies weighing on the market. they are at higher risk because of collateral requirements and the selloff has been compounded because of the risks around stock pledges. haidi: thank you so much, andrea. you can check out gtd live with some of the charts we've been bringing up. we've been talking about the outlook when it comes to commodities. oil is looking pretty mixed. shery: especially when it comes to oil and palladium. we are seeking hedge funds i'll into palladium, but they seem to be steering clear of oil. su keenan has the background for all this. let's get started with oil. su: it looks like investors are

steering clear. let's take a look at the bigger picture chart. intermediate was at a four-year high at the beginning of the month. you can see how it has come there's a 1-2 punch. the saudi chief taking the embargo style tactics. there was concern that oil would be used as a weapon. we are seeing inventories expand at the fastest pace since early 2018. you can just look at those last two days. real question is where we go from here. shery: and also where we go when it comes to palladium. announcingnt trump he's going to pull out of a nuclear deal with russia, which

happens to be the biggest producer of palladium. take a look at the metals. palladium had been up several percent. this is the after-hours trade. copper had also been higher. look at the year-to-date chart of palladium. it is near a record. you have had hedge funds pile in. citigroup saying they see the tightest market in decades. what you have is a very tight supply situation. a lot of consumers were scrambling to get supply. trump adding tensions with the number one producer. shery: su, thank you for that. there's understand another huge commodity story unfolding in australia. haidi: it is an american coal miner. trading int to begin sydney later on today. it raised $550 million in its

share offer. a global selloff in commodities shares. james thorne is here with more. this comes as oil prices have been creeping up sharply. so the prospects for the company? >> good morning, haidi. they could have chosen a better day to launch. our local market is set to open lower. that isn't a great environment to start off with. if you look at players in australia who are comparable with coronado, they had strong runs up on the back of that rise in coal prices, but they've come off in the last few days. environment is not ideal for coronado to launch into this point. they priced the deal fairly competitively. priced at the bottom of the

marketing range. ownerswhat are the saying about this ipo? are they disappointed? do they like what they saw? >> the private equity owner is called energy and minerals group. they scaled back the sale. they sold a 20% stake. they initially planned about 30%. they weren't entirely happy with the price. when they targeted australia, strongre looking at the investor base in resources down here and a good understanding of the coal market. for one reason or another, that is not what has transpired. the australian market has got a natural distrust of private equity selldowns. they have been burned in the past. that probably was a factor. a lot of the big pension funds have mandates which exclude:

investments. that canceled them out as a potential resource base. in the end, coronado ended up getting more global interest than local interest. haidi: what does that mean for appetite? we know that government policy will have ahat coal role in the energy mix. >> i think there is a future. there's strong demand in japan, china, and increasingly india also. that demand is going to be there for years to come. the argument is that australia is producing high quality coal and that is the sort of coal these countries want to import, because it brings down their emissions. the demand is there. coronado may prove to be a good price. haidi: we will be watching out

barrel for a fourth straight session as saudi arabia backs away from using its oil wealth while u.s. inventories expand at the fastest in more than 18 months. gavin, great to have you here with us. the geopolitical situation between washington and riyadh at the moment, do you think it is going to meaningfully impact oil? >> it is a great unknown. markets typically do not like uncertainty. haidi: we are getting used to unknowns when it comes to policy. >> we sure are, particularly in 2018. trade and tariffs and that sort of thing. the other great unknown is iran as well. talking about two of the biggest producers in the world. my view on oil prices is that we are likely to see stability

between 70 to $75 a barrel, perhaps as high as $80. the big issue is that when the oil price rises, we say it provides a financial incentive for u.s. shale production. states typically is quite a significant swing producer. that tends to put an upside cap on prices. if you are a betting man, there's a strong evidence for price stability around that $70 mark. demand is still very strong. we've got supply-side concerns. and we just don't know what is going to happen with trump on a day-to-day basis. u.s. inventories have been climbing. almost at that five-year average now. what are the implications that there's a gap between wti and

brent? >> we do see that cap opening up on occasion. the united states is in a sound position because of the domestic shale industry. if prices ease off, we can see that production level drop off significantly. typically u.s. shale producers have a higher net cost production than the opec producers. in the past it has been as high as $80 a barrel plus. they are generating a reasonable margin now. if oil prices drop, margins can be cramped. some of the production can be sidelined once again. haidi: whether it is brent or wti, we are seeing oil prices on an uptrend. this chart on the bloomberg showing the s&p 500 energy sector is still underperforming. why are investors not climbing

on energy names? >> it is a really good question. we are seeing the same thing in the australian market. two of our biggest energy companies had high exposure to both oil and liquefied natural gas. they've come out with very positive -- excuse me -- announcements over recent weeks. saw those stocks down. we had a strong share price performance during 2018. i think what we're looking at in the oil industry as far as the domestic oil industry is concerned is that markets are demanding excellence in terms of reporting. and simply meeting market guidance isn't enough. companies that meet market guidance tend to be sold off. i think given the mood in the resource sector at the moment, companies need to outperform

when it comes to production reports and financial reports. haidi: how about the mining sector? we have seen the big miners performing relatively well. are there any mining names you like? >> i think all the major miners like bhp, rio tinto, glencore, have done well. bhp is the standout. it is not just a hard rock mining company. it also has a significant oil and gas component. and of course that can be a positive and a negative. at the present time with oil prices where they are, and if you look at the key minerals the company is exposed to, it is generating very strong profits indeed? last week it came out with a strong quarterly production report. iron ore sales to china were up 8%.

domestic iron or in china is still very strong. a very compelling case for bhp. haidi: that high grade is going to continue? >> i would think so. given the chinese authorities' determination to reduce pollution and that sort of thing, it does present a compelling case for higher grade premium quality iron ore. the net effect is that it does reduce pollutants. haidi: coronado lists today. is this the right time for a coal producer to go public? >> i think so. market sentiment has been very strong in the coal sector, whether we are talking about for steell or coal mills. a lot of that is to do with supply-side discipline. if we look at the domestic

coalet, we've seen two producers that performed well. e is up andwhop whitehaven is up. haidi: gavin, thank you for that. you can get a roundup of the stories you need to know in today's edition of daybreak. users can go on their terminal. you can tweak settings so you just get news on the industries you care about. health care here in australia, we appear to be getting a share offer their for $2.36 aussie dollars a share. they assessed the proposal. $2.26 in a cash share from the gh and australian super.
