2:10 am
u.s. stock futures pared gains. the s&p 500 on pace for worst months since 2009. that leads us on to our mliv question of the day. much further does wall street need to fall before it can be called an unhealthy correction? joining us now is stephen bell. great to have you with us. good morning to you. let's put the mliv question to you first. how much more do u.s. stocks have to fall for this to be an unhealthy correction? stephen: i do not think it is a binary thing. behind a level and it's unhealthy. i think the fundamentals are pretty good. earnings are growing. people are getting spooked because they are not growing as fast as they have in the past. they are up 25% year-over-year. as far as the individual consumer is concerned in the united states, he is in great
2:11 am
shape. he has high savings, which is not something you often say. his wealth is going up on that. on balance, if the correction. i do not buy this unhealthy/healthy business, but it has cleaned out a lot of lazy loans. although i have not bought yet, i think we are pretty close to a buying opportunity here. manus: that is going to be one of the greatest debates of all, when you look at that whether this was the worst october since 2008, so whether it was a prescient moment or fools jumping in. isn't it more relevant that we happening?what's there is no backstop, qe, coordinated rate cuts on the cards for markets this time around. i look at it from a financial conditions position. things are getting tighter. these markets have got to live in a world' with the central live's made of a sense -- in a world with the central bank.
2:12 am
steven: the world is healthy today. central banks are gradually raising rates from emergency fed.s led by the the market realized the fed was serious about these tightening's and the market crack, but it has not cracked apart. financial conditions, as you point out, the fed started easing in christmas, 2015. nejra: given what has happened to the equity market, investors are pricing in fewer fed hikes in 2019 compared to what they were pricing previously. if we actually look at the nuts and bolts of the selloff in the u.s., the fingerprints of the selloff visible in banks, homebuilders, cyclical. this means the market is worried about future economic growth despite what we saw in the numbers on friday. i have got a chart showing as well that investors are not heading on high inflation. long basket versus the short basket.
2:13 am
stocks do better during high inflation, now plunging. so does this equity market at all make you concerned about the economic fundamentals and about inflation? steven: it does not make me concerned. actually, we got into the word where good inflation is high inflation. we have a very important statistic out on the last they have this month, which is the employment cost index. significantly, it will be bad news because it's bad news for fed policy. on top of this, ahead of the curve. it's the market who got behind the curve. pretty good situation. growth is slowing. corporate earnings growth is slowing from a high pace. these are tricky times. but overall, i think the stock market looks attractive to me.
2:14 am
certainly market repricing the fed for 2019. , chief economist at bmo global asset management. we are on the phone to mr. flynn at hsbc. a couple of lines coming from him. he does not see trade tensions affecting the u.s. turnaround as we have just been discussing. he does not see the saudi situation relevant for the gcc. he does not see it affecting the long-term appetite on the market. he is speaking with the team. trade tensions will affect the u.s. and saudi situation. more on hsbc and mr. flynn very shortly. coming up on the show, brazil takes a pivot to the right as also motto sweeps to victory. what does it mean for the markets? what does it mean for south america's largest economy?

2:21 am
controversy. there is a rally in the country's stocks. just spoke to -- there will be more upside for brazil. >> i am very optimistic. towill never be able accomplish everything he said without to accomplish in view of the chaotic situation in the brazilian congress, but i think he will be able to do a lot, and it will be more upside for brazil. there will be corrections along the way. manus: joining us now is justin carrigan. put this in context. needsof people wrote he the strongest of mandates. we have lula da silva, bolsonaro, and the leaders of brazil. like,oes a mandate look
2:22 am
the magic words that he will deal with the debt? does he have a strong enough mandate for the radical change he is promising? justin: one interesting factoid here is the margin of his victory was narrower than that which linda -- andries and roussefflula -- that luala and rousseff got. ands a sizable margin it is a margin everyone pretty much expected. so it remains to be seen whether he can really bring everyone together and get that kind of consensus pull together, as i say. nejra: great to have you with us. now, markets certainly seemed to be cheering this victory for bolsonaro, but how
2:23 am
long will they actually give him to turn things round? in other words, how long could the rally last? is a greatt question. ,here will be almost certainly you know, a kind of happiness rally as a result of this. the market will say we have got a fresh start in brazil. remember that a lot of the optimism here is based around the notion that we have not got a worker's party victory, which is something that the investment community did not want to see because they wanted to see a government that really has, you know, a serious stab at brazil's fiscal problems. how long does bolsonaro have? he has a mandate for some years now. they will give him a little bit of time. we probably will not see anything this year in terms of meaningful adjustments. the consensus seems to be we might get some action in the early part of 2019, but of
2:24 am
course, it remains to be seen how well he can get the support needed for that. manus: justin, thank you very much. great context there. our emerging markets managing editor, justin carrigan. chief bell is the economist at bmo global asset management, still with us in our london to deal. inn you look at this swell assets, there is a probable that of relief and markets bolsonaro has won. if you look at turkey, at ,razil, at emerging markets have you shifted your view in terms of emerging-market routs ? we had ahat we did -- big get-together of our investors in our form recently. stay overweight emerging markets, but deemphasize china. i did not expect china to fall that wes it did, but think is the right way to go. emerging markets have good
2:25 am
fundamentals. interestingly, our stock pickers -- we are macro guys -- but our stock pickers are underweight china. a lot of them have poor governance records, so if they make money, it does not end up a shareholders. i think china has serious problems in this trade war with the the united states. it is more than a trade war. we are worried there. i think the rest of emerging markets, on the longer-term basis, are attractive. nejra: concerns around china, rest of emerging markets attractive on a longer-term basis. do you get that exposure to em directly through em or more through developed markets that have exposures em? steven: that's a very good question. weston companies with good western companies with good governments have attractive properties from emerging-market areas. they are attractive. when he going into emerging markets, you get higher risk directing markets, higher
2:26 am
returns. thatsomething our stock pickers have done very well. it's interesting. it's taken them underweight china and week, from a macro point of view, looking at the in chama, the dilemma all of those things, tricky navigating the macro side. so yes, companies that are benefiting from better growth, better demographics, the technological leaps, the countries in africa where they are leaping beyond the immediate technologies, getting real serious benefits. india, for example, for their farmers to improve productivity, and that is a real positive. manus: thank you very much. that is steven bell, chief economist at bmo global asset management. it is rocking hsbc in the asian sessions up over 5%. sheadjusted pretax -- there goes, up she blows, 4.3%.
