packed, we had tensions -- aipac, we had tensions cropping up. the tenure tumbled 19 basis points in two weeks. it's falling around 335. we've also seen weaker economic data that has fed into this. when we look at hours, it gets below 30 -- ours, it dips below 30. last time it has this much of a tumble was in april. after that, traders get a 15 point races rally. while the long-term trend might be down for 10 year yields, we might see a breather. the other market taking a breather from a selloff was oil, gaining today. just a point out how much bearish bets have cropped up , the blue line shows hedge funds.

1:37 am
maria: good morning. for all the huffing and puffing , theresa may still has time to get a new deal. the brexit summit will take place in just seven days. the europeans believe this has been a great already. took a year to get to this point. the exit will not change. the focus and brussels will be on the future relationship. that's what eu 27 ministers will be focusing on today. this is a key document because it will give us insight into what the future relationship between the u.k. post-brexit is going to look like. it's also going to give us details on the transition period. the european union wants to limit 2022. it's unclear what the u.k. once. we don't know what the deal will look like. a lot of us, the focus on the
1:38 am
european union is on what has been a great already. very little chance it gets to be redone and renegotiated, if you will. nejra: and after the resignation of dominic rob last week, theresa may will head to brussels to do the negotiating herself. do we have details about a proposed meeting between may and juncker? maria: so that's something we heard from the prime minister herself. nothing will be agreed until everything is agreed. we're hearing in the u.k., there is too much focus on the exit. you should focus on the future. the problem is the withdrawal agreement is legally binding. we don't know when it's going to happen. it should be anytime this week. the summit will take place on sunday. the european union made it clear the summit will go on a matter
1:39 am
what. if she's in power, good. if not, they will use it for a no brexit deal. it shows prime minister theresa may, the we haven't seen in brussels for a while, has taken charge. she will deal with this. nejra: thank you for joining us, maria tadeo for us in brussels. kokou.ring in a lot to keep up with when you are looking at markets. how are you playing this or are you sitting on the sidelines? kokou: for a lot of investors, it will depend on the intricacies of their portfolio. what we're seeing is volatility. irritation is a big thing. it's something investors have been looking to monetize on
1:40 am
names that are both sort of domestically exposed and exporters. as the sterling appreciates or depreciates, it creates rotation from one sector to another. you're able to monetize by buying options on the components of the ftse index and sitting on the for the index itself. one thing you might have noticed, the ftse has been dollarbecause of earnings that is stabilizing the drop in the index it self. the currency is stabilizing the index as of now. if we were to go into a no deal brings it, the market -- no deal brexit, the market could be brutal in a repricing of its assets. nejra: that's interesting. what you say about the ftse is true. it was flat. then you saw the commodities futures gain. then it was homebuilders and banks that have the biggest losses.
1:41 am
you're saying investors are interested in getting access through volatility. are they waiting to take any opportunity in the stocks themselves or is that something people want to stay away from? kokou: investors have been staying away from the companies that suffer dramatic loss, where we took a no deal brexit. nejra: the value proposition isn't there yet. kokou: absolutely. is not a question of whether it's 10-15% cheaper. you will still be in business or not. the decision or distribution of outcome is quite huge. as a result, people are staying on the sidelines. it's more about buying insurance policies. a lot of investors are having gains on their dollar or foreign assets. were we to go into a soft brexit, cable could rally significantly and they would have rallies on their dollar.
1:42 am
and buying call option on sterling has been interest positive worth having. nejra: briefly on sterling, one-month risk reversal, the market is most bearish since the brexit referendum. how would you take advantage of something like that? kokou: this is something you look for, the upside as opposed to the downside. the fear is sterling could fall further. then on the downside is more expensive. it's probably too expensive to buy that scenario, hence looking for the positive outcome of a soft brexit is better. kokou stays with us. coming up, we speak with labour party jeremy corbyn from the conference in london. that conversation is after 5:30 p.m. london time. xiaomi is expected to report a slowdown in sales in the third

stock slump, shares down over 20% since its july listing, parley over concerns of internet services business. xiaomi has the opportunity to relay those fears with third-quarter results. joining us is china correspondent tom mackenzie. great to see you. looking at xiaomi, what is going to be the focus of the earnings later today? tom: whether or not the company can improve it can move on from just being a hardware company to being a hardware company plus internet services, are they managing to monetize their operating system? are they managing to monetize their gaming, music services, and additional services? time is of the essence. when you look at smartphone sales, the expectation is, counterpoint research, you could see a 1% drop in smartphone sales globally and xiaomi is
1:48 am
facing the pressure in terms of competition and margins. they want more revenue coming. quarters, you saw 70% of revenues coming from smartphone sales versus less than 10% for internet services. can they move those metrics? that's what investors will be looking at what results come in for the third quarter. nejra: and depending on those results, there could be more about valuation multiples, similar to tencent and alibaba. tom: absolutely. and many have questioned why that is given they are primarily a hardware company at the moment. they're saying that transition is underway. there is a potential buying opportunity, citigroup upgraded their rating for the stocks, saying xiaomi will benefit from overseas expansion and the company says it's seeing strong growth sales in countries like
1:49 am
spain, far beyond india, its major overseas market. others are more skeptical. bank of america and merrill lynch downgraded the stock, pointing to concerns around emerging-market currencies and impact on xiaomi. they sell 95% of their products into emerging markets. you look at the indian rupee and chinese u.n., that could be an impact given they book many of their cost in u.s. dollars. that's something bank of america and merrill lynch has flagged as a concern. over 24 hours, they do have a vibrating on xiaomi and they have an average upside, 50% in the next 12 months. we get those results and of the day hong kong time. nejra: thank you for joining us. you have made this transition easy for us because now we turn to india. investors are watching a power struggle.
1:50 am
the central bank is holding a board meeting that promises to be anything but dull. rupee and bond may come under pressure as they restrict central-bank freedom. government nominees appointed to the board, the question is if compromise can be found or if the public spat turned uglier. we have been tracking the developments. great to have you with us. what's gone wrong between india's central bank and the government? >> it's classic power play. the government believes we have gone rogue and independence and autonomy has been attacked upon. now,has been many months when the deputy governor of the bank of india in a speech attacked the government and said the government that does not accept tank independence will incur the wrath of the financial markets. them.as a word between
1:51 am
the government responded with a snarky tweet and detentions reached a peak when the government exercised special powers that directs to do their bidding. the actions shifted to the board meeting today, which is underway right now. the government has two nominees on that board. one of them has been critical and from all indications, it's an extremely somber affair. nejra: so the board meeting underway right now, as you say. what outcome could there be and what could the broader impact be? harsha: there are a couple of issues that has created this problem. one, if the reserve bank of india restricted lending of a few weak banks as part of its bad lend program, the government
1:52 am
believes this is hurting economic activity and could hurt small to medium-sized businesses. the second and more contentious is that it's sitting on excess capital. more central banks have 20-40% has 200%l, while india as capital reserve. they are asking for compensation, what is the right framework and how much is necessity? the third is liquidity. particularly india's shot of bank. -- shadow bank. not much has been done to support liquidity for these banks. there are two outcomes. if they agree to most of these issues, then it's business as usual. if they do not agree, voting is likely. markets are nervous because any outcome is seen as impinging on the economy will not go down
1:53 am
kindly with international investors. prime minister modi is aware of the situation. he will not support any outcome that destabilizes markets or reduces credibility of his government. nejra: thank you so much for joining us. let's bring back our guest, kokou. link betweenmake a em and tech week is there's a great story on the bloomberg talking about the flip between 2018 winners and losers. gm is starting to pick up and i have a chart that shows this. emerging markets have stopped underperforming the u.s. if you look at the index versus the s&p 500, the downtrend has sort of bottom doubt a little bit there. whereas tech, performing well at the start of the year, although u.s. tech has come under question towards the end of this year. you mentioned interesting things about tech. is there a proposition to be
1:54 am
made for emerging-market tech, particularly in china? kokou: absolutely. weakness in em has been dollar driven. it's a biological organism going through the darwinian process of evolution. you can think of these companies as it evolved species. that has become less s intensive and labor intensive and managed to have profit margins bigger than what they were in companies 50 years ago. as a result, when it comes to em tech, the challenge is to make sure they can convert topline growth, clearly higher in em than dm in higher earnings road. and this is done through operating leverage and obviously more efficiency when it comes to governance, labor costs, etc. our view is tech carries the business in this area in terms of generating profit. e.m. tech needs to evolve
1:55 am
similar to the u.s. in being able to convert higher topline growth into more sustainable earnings growth. this is the challenge when it comes to these companies. nejra: are investors you talked to buying into that? kokou: absolutely because a lot of investors are interested longer-term to the growth process of china, the domestic story. but the problem is, how do you convert that gdp growth in two companies that are efficiency managed and able to convert revenue growth into earnings growth? for that, you need a process of evolution whereby you're a lot more labor efficient and a lot less capital intensive. nejra: we were talking earlier about the fed, the impact that could have across as its. you made a point about u.s. equities and we could see less debt field by back. how does the tech sector fit into the outlook? oneu: tech has clearly been
1:56 am
of the bigger systems of excess capital and cash, and they've been buying their own stock. that's the performance going forward. the difference between tech and u.s. equity market, they are not using as much debt as small caps. therefore, the buyback has a lot more ways to go when it comes to u.s. tech and its supporting. forward,g said, going it's given the valuation a question about growth rate and regulation, we talked about social media, is a concern. in the meantime, the buyback will be supported for the sector. nejra: thank you so much for joining us, kokou. kokou will be continuing the conversation with us on bloomberg radio at 7:30 a.m. u.k. time. you can catch them there, as well. president trump says you may never know whether the saudi crown prince was involved in the jamal khashoggi killing.

2:02 am
thinner trading because it is a holiday shortened week in the u.s.. let's look at what is happening in the bond market. what caught traders attention on friday were comments from the fed vice chair talking about reaching neutral, but also concerns about the global economy. we saw treasury yields drop both two-year and 10 year yields. the 10 year yield dropping to the lower end of its recent raise. also dollar weakness. that is the context we are thinking of in the global bond market. not a lot of movement in the 10 year yield. we are steady on a 307 handle. we could see italian bonds a little bit in today's session. a little bit of tightening in that btp-bund spread. the conversation is after 5:30 p.m. london time. let's turn to saudi arabia.
2:03 am
slightly higher this morning after saudi stocks declined the most in a month yesterday as the u.s. sanctions 17 officials over the death of journalist jamal khashoggi. the announcement came after the kingdom charged 11 people for the murder saying it will seek the death penalty for five who confessed. theing us from dubai is leader of our emerging markets team in india. we are seeing a little bit of reaction. how could we see saudi stocks react for the rest of today? >> you would expect some positivity today. especially after trump basically through into doubt whether anyone could ever prove a connection between mbs and the actual murder. that is actually throwing into doubt the findings the cia is going to present on tuesday.
2:04 am
bear in mind, saudi stocks fell a lot yesterday. some investors are finding this selloff is a bit too much. we are also seeing the same reaction across bonds. there are some people saying this is really the time for a bargain. nejra: in terms of foreign investors buying more meaningfully, we are a bump higher today but nothing too , what do foreign investors need to see before they start buying saudi equities and reacting positively to other assets in meaningful way? >> they really want to see this story go away. they want the u.s. to stop talking about it. they want the international community to move on. they also want to see this drop in oil stock. when we saw oil fall into a bear market, there was a lot of
2:05 am
concern saudi arabia might not be acting fast enough in order to stop this. this was compounded by the fact that a lot of investors were worried about the fallout, the merger of the journalist. what investors want to see is this to end and to move on and to start to talk business. we have seen investors fell for six straight weeks and this is a bit of a worry. positivity.e saudi stocks will be joining the msci index next year. a lot of investors are excited by this. thank you so much. now let's check on the markets in asia. .ishaad has more earlier in the session we were seeing the msci asia-pacific index a flat line. we are firmly in positive territory now. >> as you mentioned, we have seen this turnaround over the
2:06 am
