1:09 am
standoff inchina the digital for a breakthrough or deal overshadowed everything here and when jose reyes -- in ares.ose reyes -- buenos in placece already have forced many countries to absorb higher costs and to rethink supply chains. mediahinese state reported late saturday over steak and salad agreed to a 90 day cease-fire, it was the breakthrough and for many sunday to celebrate. tariffs will not raise to 25% on january 1. they will stay at 10% for now. china for its part, agreed to start buying more american agricultural and industrial goods and also to crackdown on fentanyl, pledge hailed by president trump.
1:10 am
as the chinese government wants a permanent deal on trade, it's going to have to do much more. china has 90 days to show it's willing to address the troubled registrations biggest these including the systematic theft of intellectual property, subsidies for state-owned enterprises, and cyber espionage. president trump was right when he told reporters aboard and force one -- aboard air force one because many people are doubtful china is ready to abandon key parts of its economic strategy. to abandon key parts of its economic strategy. manus: that's the take from g20. our guest this morning is lena komileva, director of tsipras economics. question of the day, how long can this trade truce last -- of g plus economics. question of the day, how long
1:11 am
can this trade truce last? semiconductor rolling over, tragedy, korean next boards china dissipating. pmi's our weekend out of malaysia. it's not a good backdrop. how long can the rally run? lena: not at all, you're absolutely right. the short-term story is a catastrophe has been averted. we have delayed the escalating tensions between the u.s. and which has been one of the cost of a political concession from china. the key issues are still unresolved. the deficitoblem, is not going to disappear. in fact it's up to 5 billion on the year. that means tariffs will remain
1:12 am
the first weapon of choice for the u.s. administration going forward area the second point is the technology transfer. the next phase of the u.s. management is to increase nontariff barriers by creating on intellectual property transfer, technology-related imports and exports. and that is ultimately, yes. the third is the hegemony. -- digit worry that u.s. and eu leaders have. that china is protectionist and using liberal trade order to create a winter take all situation and take over from the u.s. as the leader of technology over everyone else. manus: to the point you make -- wera: to the point you make, have a truce but we had a big gap in the two separate statements.
1:13 am
have a great graphic showing the differences between the u.s. statement. when chinese statement said the 90 day deadline wasn't mentioned at all. more detail in the u.s. statement dealing with farm and energy products and less detail the chinese statement. morgan stanley is upgrading china stocks, boosting to overweight its allocation because he says -- they say even if matters escalate again, this should help bring about the end game. do you agree with that? even with further escalation? we willsuspect that have to have further escalation before we get the positive outcomes. risk, we arearket in reprieve but nowhere near the end. the point you make is probably the most important take away.
1:14 am
but i would like to have seen giving the structural drivers behind attention is some kind of coherent negotiations that can show us the roots of the free trade agreement. we didn't get that. china hourly rejects the u.s. position. china is a state-controlled economy. it's rained back control rather than liberalized capital. the most important fact is amongst the people there's a growing emancipated impatience. chinese political leadership desired to drive the economy towards the middle income economy is not for negotiation with the u.s.. maybe this will rattle a few of the negotiators mines. data and facts for china are evident. domestic demand is slowing.
1:15 am
the overall system is going to be the slowest growth in nearly a decade. are the chinese and are more pressure to do a deal in the united states? -- chinese under more pressure to do a deal than the united states? i think the fear here is that markets may be underpricing chinese risk. the helicopter view from servers has been china's concerns about a hard landing are nothing new. know, is it as you is quite a potential slowdown in domestic growth. thealso, when you look at regional breakdown of china's some regions are on the brink of negative gdp growth.
1:16 am
ok, that means for policy officials there be this balancing and focus away to supporting targets of growth. but the capacity for that is limited. the structural deficit of government is somewhere in the range of 4% of gdp. a percent by some measures. in excess of two and 60% of gdp. really, the ability to push on a means there are no easy choices here. no easy choices for the markets have made a choice for today. mina staying with us. coming up, theresa may faces challenges from lawmakers over the legal advice underpinning her brexit deal.
1:17 am
start facing the court tomorrow. and later we have the ceo of the world bank from the un's annual climate summit in poland. manus: and you are traveling to work, tune into bloomberg radio. dab digital radio. this is bloomberg.
1:18 am
1:19 am
1:20 am
nejra: -- manus: qatar to withdraw from opec in january according to the energy minister. what does it mean for caps on's contribution to the world production of oil? opec constitutes approximately 1.83% of the overall production. as we debate the reduction in production from opec and non-opec. this is breaking news as we had
1:21 am
the vienna. qatar at 1.83%. this is the energy minister giving us this news. they will draw from opec at the start of the year. let's take you to the mega wall. the biggest move and of uti in more than two years. 53.4%. no doubt about it. the total positions are the lowest in five years. under loved, under owned. that dinner with trump and she coming up rather well. and news that there will be no further auto tariffs on u.s. production. msci asia up on tech. take it away. how is your evaluation? >> the rally continues.
1:22 am
around 3.2%. it's close to the midpoint of the annual range. futures pointing high to how long the rally will last. 2019n stanley upgrading is china stocks fall on the trade cease-fire. 3% to the downside on friday. up nelnet 10 year yield. let's get back to oil. we talked about that red headline. cats are to withdraw from opec. let's get back to oil surging. nothing to do with this headline. rebounding from the biggest monthly loss in a decade. saudi arabia and russia extending their deal. some news out of canada. the two countries, saudi arabia and russia, have yet to officially confirm. president pidgeon said they had reached agreement.
1:23 am
alberto taking the unprecedented step from forcing its oil producers to cut production. let's bring in the chief economist at two plus economics. we have this rally today following we got out of the g20 from saudi arabia and russia. what going to be important as the details. among other things, the baseline. clearly the volatility we have seen shows that the market is struggling to find a level. have concerns about global growth, absolutely. the pace of global growth or deck -- projections don't really change. it's been stemming from a lack of visibility. meansthing, the headline that visibility will not improve.
1:24 am
i want to jump in and keep our viewers abreast of the lines coming through from qatar. this is the potential. qatar says they are not committed to the opec agreement after equities. they might commit to whatever this agreement is that we would have coming through on thursday and friday. the question is, what do we need? to put in context or anybody that might be unaware. there is this isolation of qatar by the uae, by saudi arabia. this coalition of freezing of qatar. theiresire to drive efforts to develop their own natural gas production. the question we will be asking ourselves as we go to the next couple of hours. it certainly would strike me as being a political pushback by qatar on to the rest of the gcc
1:25 am
members. that's the debate. let's take it back to you. it looks as if trump wants $50. mohammed bin solomon $170 in this. wants $70 in this. how important is it that we stabilize the oil prices in a tighter bandwidth? lena: it's very important but it's extremely difficult. so many variables. oil is the litmus test of the transition we have seen in the global economy this year. down in ao slow of the shift from negative real interest rates in the u.s. to dollar deleveraging in emerging markets.
1:26 am
this is across the credit spectrum. all of that will feed into the markets desire to hedge volatility and is the kind of driver that if anything, since we have geopolitical risk, we have a slowing global growth level led by china which is difficult to manage. we are talking about long-term secular forces. declining productivity group -- growth. ant financial tightening. she stays's -- nejra: with us. as the un's annual climate conference kicks off, we speak to the ceo of the world bank. if you want to step away from us and you are traveling to work, tune into bloomberg radio live on your mobile device or dab digital radio in the london area. this is bloomberg.
1:27 am
1:28 am
1:29 am
1:30 am
nejra: -- manus: the oil story just trump's trump. cap are to withdraw from the opec cartel. qatar to withdraw from the opec cartel. be changingo longer anything from january. they will withdraw from opec and they will not be committed to opec agreements after exiting. that's according to the energy minister. is this to do with gcc politics? is it to do with their own way forward?
1:31 am
brent perhaps has a bigger constituent part when talking about qatar and the gcc. the devotee i market, you can see, is very under positioned. opec and non-opec potential agreeing to cooperate next year. erin clark is our energy editor in tokyo. this is really quite stunning. major fracturest in opec. yeah, it's pretty significant. basically qatar says their withdrawing from opec. there are very few details. another thing they said is they want to focus on gas production. qatar is also the world's largest exporter of natural gas. this is to look at contextually what is going on with opec. over the weekend, we had the crown prince of saudi arabia and russian president vladimir putin agree to extend this agreement
1:32 am
to manage the oil market which essentially means they are very likely to reintroduce that next year. qatar has been withdrawing and as of generate first, they're toing they won't be beholden any opec rules or cuts. it's quite an interesting is situation though the details are still emerging. thank you so much. let's check in on the markets from around the world. london, it's bloomberg's dani burger. the indian market seems to be a tail of three charts today. take us to the details. >> sadly we are not doing as well as the oil markets would support. week wasrally and last very strong. if you look at the numbers
1:33 am
today, it's very flat. one reason could be the bounceback. it has an impact on the currency. believe that the indian rupee is strongly reacting. i see no other reason then decide the factors been a bit of a rally. getting a bit of support to markets, are two factors. one is the kind of market we have and the others buying private sector banks. those banks were not doing well for the better part of september and october. they are bounced back very smartly. the banks are doing really well for themselves. ,n the last when i want to make not just drug makers and pharma. suggesting that a trading probe should be opened up. that has led to a sharp downtick in the stock.
1:34 am
7.58%. more so along the technical parameters. those the three charts will be talking about today. manus: -- nejra: you are looking at chinese stocks. china index boosted to overweight its allocation. that itkes sense received an upgrade just recently. this big rally not only has it msci, up to 77 16 and the it's now broken past its 50 day moving average and just with a stone's throw away from the hundred day moving average. this is a really impressive show of momentum for the index which earlier in the year had a hard time holding above its 50 day moving average on the red line here. this is a big pickup. it can indeed breakthrough that
1:35 am
100 day moving average. the other market which is a painting is oil. higher than $53 a barrel. that's a more than 5% increase. qatar stepping out of opec. oppen's traders -- options traders are really pricing and a lot of volatility. look at how it really surges here. this is the trade price of geopolitical risk. this in the past. the options pricing does tend to be a leading indicator. this would indicate even though volatility is happening to the upside, we expect more pricing to calm. nejra: thank -- manus: thank you very much. let's get first word news. right here in dubai. president trump said
1:36 am
china has agreed to remove tariffs on cars imported from the united states. washington had been set to raise duties untutored billion dollars of imports from january 1. with the white house debating whether to tax all imports from china. has agreed to reduce or remove tariffs from the current 40%. the relationship is very special. the relationship i have with presidency. i think it's going to be a primary reason why we will probably end up getting something that will be good for china and good for the united states. france's president has held an emergency cabinet meeting after 400 people were arrested in paris. movement, yellow vest what began as a protest over fuel taxes has grown into general anger at higher living costs.
1:37 am
there is also violence outside leon. and in other regions. has canceledsident -- has gone against or was he died with a post on facebook. this follows his five-month absence will country receiving medical chairman from abroad rid he said, i can assure you all this is the real me. i'm still going strong. global news 24 hours a day on air and at tictoc on twitter. however more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries at -- countries. nejra: thank you so much. activists and scientists have gathered in poland for the united nations climate conference. it will seek to transform pledges made in paris three years ago into an international bulwark. bankat event, the world
1:38 am
announced it will double its five-year investment to fight climate change. is for selena -- is the ceo of the world bank. welcome to the show. thank you so much for joining us this morning. this $200ounced billion over five years for climate action. 2025funding for 2021 to includes a significant boost for adaptation and resilience. does that mean that you're concerned the climate targets will not be met which is why you need to provide money for particularly poor countries to be more resilient against the impacts of climate change? >> we are convinced that the climate story is a developing story. that there already are climate impacts that are affecting the most affordable
1:39 am
countries and the most horrible people. severelycting them so that we ought to act to build a resilient future. our conviction is, we have to strongly address the causes of climate change but we also have to deal with its consequences. placing in we are our public sector, mitigation and other solutions on equal footing. it is not new that we have to adapt to climate change. throughout our history we have been adjusting to differences in whether, different climate circumstances. is the scope of adaptation we have opted to pursue. we are definitely doing it.
1:40 am
a very warm welcome. when i read doctrines from the world bank and the hopes and aspirations of the ceo like you, the media question i ask myself is, how will chris selena achieve are targets without the u.s. on board? shift from theny united states in terms of climate change? kristalina: we are seeing steps in climate action everywhere. it is a matter of good business sense also for u.s. companies. cities seen that many and spaces in the united states have stepped up with mitigation and adaptation actions. i am confident that the human race will have the smarts to recognize that for our children
1:41 am
and our grandchildren, we are determined to act. that we at the world bank are doing something. toething very important boost this action. it is the work we provide two countries that show that climate ation is not necessarily cost. it can be a tremendous benefit for economies. nejra: i'm sure you follow the developments in buddha saris over the weekend -- in buddha's aries over the weekend. you think it will become more difficult to have real coordinated efforts on climate change prevention?
1:42 am
it is quite remarkable how strong the message is on climate action quote thet want to primus or of jamaica who clearly weights around climate is behind us. it is action that we have to follow. the comments that came around the table were individually we cannot win this fight. collectively we can do it. two very important points. one on stepping up mitigation. the understanding that we are in the new climate economy. generatedly have tremendous benefits for investment opportunities and jobs. and we are faced with a critical uncertainty to be resilient to
1:43 am
more shocks that are to come. alsoresilience building is in positive development story if we do it right. voices around the table in buddha saris echoed that message that we are the first generation that has to live with the consequences of climate change and the last ones that can do something about it. year -- manus: you are in that room. what was the commitment from the u.s. and russia? if you had to go around the room and judge the commitment, what with the commitment of u.s. and russia in terms of the responses? what we have seen is that in the end, this g20 summit was successful to come up with
1:44 am
the communique. directions in collective action. while we all recognize that not everybody is on exactly the same page, or exactly in the same place on the page, there is that wey a willingness as the international community of what we do. let me tell you this area and we at the world bank are very often in a seat seen the impact of climate change on the most affordable countries. always see in small island economies or in the horn of africa is so category. -- categorical. have 100 million more people in extreme poverty by 2030 unless we act to mitigate
1:45 am
but also to adapt. thank you very much for joining us. cr the world bank. join us from poland. let's get back to the political hubris in the united kingdom. theresa may faces another grueling brexit battle. politicians from all sides are calling on the prime minister to justify the divorce that she has agreed with. they are demanding the government publish the internal legal advice underpinning the accord. the opposition party has --naled it will let's bring in the chief economist the tsipras economics. what is most important? a possible defeat and therefore
1:46 am
no-confidence motion? is it the size of the defeat we should focus on if that is your base case scenario? i'm always looking to the endgame and the in game in my mind is that the eu will want to negotiate with dashes who the eu will want to negotiate with next. they want to avoid a hard border in ireland, crashed brexit because that would be damaging for you industries. the eu is not a single economic area. nobody wants a disaster brexit scenario. the day after the u.k. parliament votes on the deal, the eu will have to make a decision whether they want to continue to negotiate with theresa may or talk to boris johnson. or really allow for a delay, article 50.
1:47 am
i think ultimately the endgame peakis for a hard brexit is optically it decreases the chances of a deal. it demonstrates how may objections there are in the u.k. parliament. a weak minority government in a hung parliament means a hard with some kind of a diluted backstop and no agreement on the future relationship. let me show you this chart. options on demands for big swings in sterling. as an economist, you said you look to the endgame so what is the endgame for sterling? lena: i suppose the endgame is will we have a negotiated brexit , withdraw agreement with
1:48 am
diluted backstop and a harder brexit at the end of this are we going to have a minimal skeletal agreement? i've been telling my clients this year to going to dollar cash the coup date. get out of exposure to financial volatility and we are going to be facing that in the u.k.. one thing we have not been pricing in his there is no central bank input. there will be no bank intervention in the unmanaged brexit. that is risk negative when you think about it. we are probably underpricing inflation risks. comenflation that could from the back of this volatility. that, together with the
1:49 am
end of frictionless trade to the meanse endgame scenario we are still unprepared for the stark reality that sterling will bring. manus: thank you very much. lena komileva stays with us. coming up, goldman sachs and jpmorgan stick with their forecast for four hikes. what that means for investors. this is a conversation you want to stay tuned for. vice-chairman of the u.s. federal reserve joins the bloomberg team. 11:30 london time. this is bloomberg. ♪

the curve. but equity still have some way to go. are we as the neutral rate? sunday show said yes. would you agree? are we at the neutral rate with one more hike? that's a difficult want to say. even jay powell when he said this, there were so many interpretations of the market of what this actually means. onre's a debate going whether this was just one more hike or three more hikes. it's a lot of discussion going on. nejra: what does this mean for
1:56 am
yields? we saw the 10 year yield dropped on the risk. currently we are at the level of the 10 year yield. three to four hikes. in the best case scenario, let's assume the u.s. economy keeps going. i think the 10 year yields could be a bit higher. if you were to see a slowdown in the curve would invert, and we could easily go 5275 basis points lower than the current levels which is what historical evidence suggests. we are one point away from inversion. .ristoph schon from axioma
