6:06 pm
months of the year, it was a bad year already then spiraling down. the trade war was of the top of the list. with the fed signaling they are willing to be patient on policy, now with the -- mid-level executives meeting in china, it is not surprising that this is something the markets are even more focused on than ever. -- youare wondering might want to get a deal quickly to get the stock market back on its footing. you have to get something done. what is china done so far? we are looking at punitive tariffs on american made cars. promising to open up to foreign investment. to stop forced technology transfer.
6:07 pm
the big news has been the first ever appeal court for intellectual property disputes has been set up. when you talk to people about the motivation for that, they agree that the trade war is part of it but within china itself, there are people who start businesses who get their technology stolen. they have been pushing for this. it is an interesting impasse. if trump makes a deal quickly and doesn't get the kind of enforcement mechanisms people are looking for, it will look like he did this just to get it over with. >> how do you make sure the niceties are put into play? are two reports this say fairly different things about the industry and the impact of the trade war. >> we got a congressional report saying that a prolonged u.s. china trade war could have
6:08 pm
lasting damage on u.s. importers desk exporters of soybeans. they should the concerns that the report as expressing. the congressional budget office is saying this tariffs of added 83 billion dollars of revenues. every big caps. -- every bit counts. >> what about the global economy? we have seen the world bank cut their forecast for global growth. of much of that was because these trade tensions? >> they mentioned the trade tensions, uncertainties over everything happening in the

world. -- germanalking about industrial production fell. a big fall. people say they are looking perhaps at recession. the germans are also saying trade tensions uncertainty, this is another exporting nation may be having something to do with it. part of what is going on is people are still saying it is a bit of early days. the pain that china may have felt now is going to be felt by the u.s.. another reason for if they can get something in place, that's enough to say they are moving forward. that would have to be a net plus for everybody in the world. >> thank you for that. the latest on the u.s. china trade talks. with the government shutdown approaching a record length,
6:10 pm
president trump is preparing an address. now is congress editor. as he continues to threaten declaring a national emergency, can we expect him to do that tonight? if so, would that be possible given the legal ramifications? >> we are told that as of this afternoon, that was not part of his speech. there is some time left and he could change his mind. he is being pulled in different directions. there are some of his allies outside of the government and in the government that won him to makethis step as a way to a quick break in a dramatic break. there are a lot of questions in congress about if you can do it. a lot of congressional republicans are saying they think is a last resort and he should not go there. we are told that he will offer
6:11 pm
something of an olive branch to the democrats who have been in a stalemate with him. he has also invited the top leaders of both parties in congress to the white house tomorrow and he is going to talk senator's at their weekly lunch tomorrow. it suggests that he is still looking for another way out. perhaps there can be another breakthrough although it is not evident at this point. >> if he were to go ahead with the national emergency, that would be under a 1976 law. explained to us how that would work. need to divert funds. the president has wide latitude to determine what constitutes an emergency. that he is likely to be
6:12 pm
would ask the military to step in and use their own funds to begin construction on a section of border wall. the military does have money for construction. fundsemergency, some could be diverted. come under a challenge in court. then, the question of how much of the money can be diverted because constitutionally, the congress has purview over the budget and the purse strings the government. it is unclear how that would work but the plan would be to have the military step in. >> thank you for that. get you to first word news. the world bank has cut its view of the global economy.
6:13 pm

6:17 pm
to the optimism we are seeing across equity markets. president trump is said to get -- be keen to get a deal done to extend the rally after the end of the year selloff. it feels like a little bit of an existential inflection points for markets. is the optimism over trade misplaced? where do you sit in terms of what risk reward and that relationship looks like for this year compared to last year? last you look back at the 12 months, a lot of the compression in prices and derating of the equity market was driven by concerns around geopolitical uncertainty and the
6:18 pm
relationship between the u.s. and china. and the u.s.019 and china are having a anstructive conversation, little stabilization is warranted. this is a first step and was going to be a long process of trying to understand the process between the u.s. and china. there are significant long-term issues. say thatathleen hays there was some erosion of business and consumer confidence . i think that is fair. we have seen this in cfo confidence surveys. companies were discussing third-quarter earnings over the course of the fourth quarter. we have seen announcements and that tradecompanies was overhanging their activity and their plans for investment. we will be watching this
6:19 pm
progress closely. i think we could get some stabilization if we make strides towards an agreement. for is going to be an issue multiple years not just quarters. >> that is a critical point that you make. even if we don't see a play out, the concern over animal spirits deteriorating is an issue. we see that in asia as well. i want to put up this chart. it will inform a lot of views. where the dollar goes from here. they are saying the. of strength is running out of steam. perhaps there is the idea that the fed is hitting pause or waiting to give more space for dollar weakness. how does that inform your view of how emerging markets perform
6:20 pm
this year? forecasting the dollar is a very tricky activity. dollar would be good news for sentiment around emerging-market equities and assets in general. the move in the dollar particularly in the first part of last year really shook confidence after strong performance from emerging-market assets. if we have stability and clarity that the fed is going to continue to be data-dependent, if we have a little bit of progress on the trade front, that leads people to feel more confident that there will not be big disruptions to business models over the next couple of quarters. it would be very good news for emerging-market assets. our view is that a lot of the fear is already in the price. there are a lot of high-quality
6:21 pm
companies that have been underappreciated by the international investment base. we are sticking with our overweight recommendation for emerging-market equities and we feel confident high-quality companies that have been that if we make progress, we can see those assets outperform. >> we have just learned that president trump wants a deal in order to boost financial markets according to sources. what sort of deal do you need to see for the markets to gain some sustainable confidence in the stock rally? >> i think it would be difficult to put together a big deal and such a short. of time. aat i would be looking for is promise to create a framework over the next couple of months and quarters. trade ishe focus on not just about how much u.s. buys from china and how much china exports to the u.s.. it is a lot more about the competition in technology and the fact that china is seeking
6:22 pm
to and investing in becoming a global superpower when it comes to technology. i would like to see this agreement or discussion now talk about the opportunity for cooperation between the u.s. and china on technology instead of the ongoing acrimony and what feels like a decoupling of the sector. segmentenant -- text could be hurt by the u.s. china trade talks. given that they are already at high valuations against the broader market, is this a sector that given the uncertainty on the trade front you should give up on? >> we are not giving up on technology. our favorite sector call for 2019 has been health care in part because health care serves the purpose of meeting the needs of many investors. it offers income, quality, it has lengths -- less sensitivity.
6:23 pm
it has great opportunities. still wellctor is loved across blackrock. i would note that tech faces a number of challenges on data and regulation not just in the u.s. but by european lawmakers. it is also faced pressures on policy and regulation in china over the last 12 months. companies are absorbing those policy changes and are willing to work in that environment. our call in tech is that you need to own both u.s. and chinese tech. asre is not as much overlap sometimes investors think there is. in order to invest in growth for the long term, you need to have a diversified strategy for the sector. >> what are your views on how the central bank plays into all this?
6:24 pm
there's the idea that jay powell is willing to keep the door ajar when it comes to hitting pause. chart.to throw up our we are looking at the runoff and the balance sheet because that is essentially on autopilot and they have not steered away from their stance. you that concern particularly as we have all of these downgrades on growth and warnings about potential recessions appearing? is that a concern that even if the fed doesn't do anything that this is still going to continue to tighten? >> we think that the fed is doing the right thing in communicating data dependence. policy adjustments work with long and variable lags. for the fed to step back and absorb the data and make a
6:25 pm
decision, once they see how the data evolves and how consumers and businesses operate, is totally prudent. your question on the balance sheet is fair. the market is worried about liquidity and liquidity drains the system. this is going to be front and center of a lot of risk-taking decisions over 2019. i would expect that the fed needs to address the concerns around the withdrawal of liquidity. it doesn't feel like a major obstacle to corporate behavior or to the market functioning well. financial conditions are amething that have led to slightly different multiple environment. we would expect that if the fed does not address liquidity and financial conditions, it would make it difficult for equity markets to perform in the way that we hope in this year. weak also got surprisingly
6:26 pm
numbers out of germany. this chart showing industrial output unexpectedly fell in november. indicating we could see a recession in germany. what is your call for european assets given that it is not just the economic slowdown that could be affecting markets there but also political risks? >> we have been underweight european equities for all of the last 12 months. we have a call that got a lot of feedback from clients and peers. view is that we were lacking additional catalysts that the quality of european earnings growth is relatively weak and the opportunity for upside in terms of economic growth and stimulus was lower than other regions. now, we have reconfirmed our underweight to european
6:27 pm
equities. we don't think that the potential risk from european fragmentation is being reflected in earnings estimates or in prices right now. this latest news out of germany confirms for us that we are in a slower growth environment and that without a significant stimulus to european growth, it is going to be a more challenging year for european assets. >> great to have you. coming up, we will ask if the social media detox should be eight new year's resolution. some users are finding they cannot delete facebook from their phones despite attempts to do so. we are looking ahead to the asia open and we are seeing some green issues across asian trading today.

6:35 pm
already installed but users are finding they can only disable it. a you are wanting to go on social media detox and you were the owner of one of these phones, you would not be happy right now. how does this work? withcebook has made deals samsung and other phone makers. also, service providers. they said they cannot give me a list of the deals because they vary by region and type of phone. it is all of the android phones that have facebook preinstalled. once users get them, it acts like a native app on the phone. you cannot delete it. facebook says once it is disabled, it will act as though it has been deleted. users are still wary about having facebook on their phones given the recent concerns. >> does that mean facebook cannot collect data once it has
6:36 pm
been disabled? --t are consumer at risk it advocacy groups saying? >> facebook says you will not be able to have data collected from the apple once it is disabled. consumer advocates are not taking them at their word considering the recent issues with privacy breaches and other problems with facebook and data over the last year. consumer advocates are saying that facebook should be more public about how this works. users should know before they purchase the phone whether it will have facebook preinstalled. they should also be able to deleted if they want to. >> thank you for that. ceo says the bank is preparing for a hard brexit in march of next year. he spoke with david westin. brexithere is a hard
6:37 pm
where there is not an understanding between the eu and the u.k., on and orderly separation of the rules of governor, while he is hard to predict, i think that is a good estimate of what might happen. i think you are seeing it in where the sterling is trading. you are seeing the uncertainty in the equity markets in the u.k.. this is a dicey time. clarityer we can find and how the exit will occur in an orderly fashion, it is very important for the u.k. economy. i don't think the governor is exaggerating. i think we all need to listen carefully. >> how do you plan for that? do you have to plan for a hard brexit no matter what? the sunday after the
6:38 pm
referendum vote which was on a thursday, the whole executive we weree meeting, preparing for a hard brexit almost two years ago. we have been hoping for an organized separation, but preparing for a hard one. we had a subsidiary in ireland. we significantly expanded the capacity of that subsidiary. now ofin the process relicensing all of our branches in europe. frankfurt, milan, madrid. inbranches of our bank london to branches in dublin. we will move a thousand 200 people from a british bank to a european bank without moving a single body. whether it is contracts or capital, we are set up so we are comfortably in front of march of next year if there is a hard brexit. we will be able to do everything
6:39 pm
we are doing today with our client base across europe and the u.k.. >> if there were a hard brexit, how would barclays look different? surviving it and looking the same are two different things. voteen the referendum occurred, we had a situation room. brought together lawyers, risk managers, technicians all over the bank to think about what might happen if there is an economic shock. we are doing that right now. what happens if we are financing a restaurant chain in the u.k. which is importing fresh goods from farmers in europe and all the sudden those goods cannot cross the border and go bad.

6:45 pm
productivity. that is a well-known problem around the world. that means policymakers will have to make some difficult decisions. they also make the point that with the end of an era of quantitative easing, if we get away a, it will take source of growth. policymakers will have to look for new channels and new ways to stoke their economies. picture, this does .apture some of the themes there is certainly a bit of work to be done before all of this can be achieved. you so much. the world bank also has cut its view of the global economy as slowing growth in trade and investment and rising interest rates stop momentum.

6:47 pm
advanced economies are going to see a slowdown. emerging market economies will see a stalled growth. in the context of emerging-market economies, we reduce our growth forecast by .4 daesh .5 percentage points. major engines. the u.s., euro area and china. these three together account for 50% of global gdp and 60% of global growth. all three will see lower growth this year. risks, that things can get ugly. >> one of the reasons that we aroundee more slowdowns the world could be because the fed continues to hike rates. we are seeing monetary tightening around the world.
6:48 pm
financial conditions are taking a plunge. what are your expectations for monetary policy this year and capital flows around the world? >> monetary policy in the united states has been normalizing. the fed has done a good job in terms of taking this economy through the deep crisis and increasing the interest rates in an orderly fashion. environment of financial the chairess, suggested that the policy is going to be flexible. they are going to look at incoming data. we still think that the fed will increase interest rates twice this year if there is momentum with respect to growth around the world and the u.s. economy
6:49 pm

6:51 pm
this year, we are expecting 6.2%. overall, depending on the line drivers of potential growth, whether it is going to come from or laborproductivity market improvements, education improvements, or basic investment in capital, it could be intangible capital. asia is the promising region and east asia and south asia deliver the highest growth rates once again and we think that in the near future, they are going to do that. >> you mentioned india and china. those two countries have high levels of nonperforming loans. bad are the debt vulnerabilities and some of these emerging markets? >> it is true that the debt problem is there. find aicymakers need to

elds reaching the highs of last year again, they will just higher from him. shery: jeff bloomberg talking about emerging-market stocks, saying they will leave the s&p 500 if the u.s. dollar weakens. mark: i am completely in his camp. even without the dollar weakness we started to get in the last week. this year we will probably see the dollar weaken again in a volatile fashion. i think that will help emerging markets, which are better valued than other stocks. this can last a not only for the year ahead, but most years. we saw the u.s. outperform the last four or five years. a long theme can start reversing. where the valuations are much better.

7:11 pm
want to do is start leaking things prematurely, have a get out in the press and to the public prematurely. i think it is interesting the story our white house team has broken tonight about president trump pushing for the trade deal. two sides clearly, one would be peter navarro, chief adviser on trade. wilbur ross, the commerce secretary, billionaire, former secretary. and robert lighthizer himself. then you have the treasury secretary mnuchin, larry kudlow. just worried about the stock market. it will be interesting to see which side of this, which president trump yields to. they are saying it is not so much trade, but uncertainty about the fed. if trump is pushing hard, you wonder if he will put aside

7:19 pm
increasing rate. exceptionals redemption month in terms of treasuries. positioning was murky. i think going for the size of the u.s. treasury will be a factor in terms of market action. still keen fed is a in terms of normalizing policy rates when it can, even though it might be more gradual going forward. shery: what about elsewhere outside of the u.s.? where are you sing opportunities? chinese bonds are coming back with a vengeance. omar: yes. i think the primary driver of the market last year was tightened financial conditions. i think this is something still running its course this year. it did have a big impact last year in terms of the credit market. i think that has also transpired
7:20 pm
in terms of the equity markets and emerging markets and toward the latter part of the year in terms of developed markets. ifterms of opportunities, the financial conditions continue to be tight, or start being tighter, some part of the credit markets will be interesting. particularly we like asian investment grade. it is well anchored, decent fundamentals, good ownership. some parts of the high-yield markets. even though he maintained the credit cycle has peaked, one has to be opportunistic in terms of bonds one buys because it needs to be decent credit. shery: what about the u.s. dollar? seen more dovish comments from fed chair powell. data-dependent said create more space for dollar weakness? i think the dollar reigns

the real estate market, where are we in this cycle? i think the real estate -- market is generally vulnerable. it is traditionally vulnerable whenever you have economic growth slowed down and interest rates rising. the real estate market tends to be localized, each jurisdiction having its own dynamic. in an environment where interest rates are rising, when we come from a multi-year phase of good performance in terms of real estate, by demographics are not really good in some places, and you have an economic growth is slow down, i would be cautious in terms of real estate. shery: omar, thank you for your time. omar slim, of pinebridge investments. coming up, carlos ghosn's lawyers fight to free him from detention as an actual trial could be as much as six months away. this is bloomberg.

7:26 pm
behind bars, they will have to extend that. as we have discussed in many issues before, there are several ways they could do that. they could try to lay new allegations. they could re-indict him under other charges. it does not necessarily mean he is on the way out. one thing the appearance did do is establish he is not giving in. one theory is the reason he has been kept behind bars so long is they are really pushing to see a confession. rather than just trying to convict him with the evidence they have, they want him to admit to wrongdoing. it is pretty clear now he is not going to do that. he took this opportunity to show his resolve apparently has not weakened to fight on his own behalf. that could create prosecutors that want to keep breaking them down, for mean they are willing to grant him bail and proceed with the trial.

president trump. let's head to seoul. how much do we know about this trip? not much is known about this trip besides the fact kim jong-un left the day before yesterday. we know this information through north korea's central media. this is also special because north korean state media normally do not report kim jong-un's travels to china before. it could be a power move from north korea's propaganda turn -- terminal to show they are flexible with kim jong-un traveling in and out, overseas. sitting down-un with a xi jinping for an hour-long meeting goes to show he will definitely prioritize the north korea-chinese relationship over the u.s. relationship when it comes to preparing for his talks with donald trump. shery: we had heard from korean

7:39 pm
i have to say, the chinese embassy in malaysia has come out to deny these allegations, saying there are groundless. they gave a statement to local media overnight. they say they have had a policy of never interfering with internal policies of the country they invest -- countries they invest in. this has been a concern with china's belt and road initiative, that they are using financial clout to build influence in developing economies. most: is that the interesting or new aspect of these allegations, that it brings into these soft power and economic ambitions beijing has, pushing with belt and road? yes, is certainly brings that into focus. it is true it will play into those concerns. the malaysian current prime

haidi: this is "daybreak asia." i am haidi stroud-watts in sydney. shery: and i am shery on. president trump expected to make voters over the government shutdown for funding the border wall. jeffrey, great to have you with us. will this public appeal were? jeffrey: i doubt it. minds arest people's made up over the usefulness and morality of this wall. it is been the subject not only of trump's presidential campaign in 2016, but the midterm campaign last november. i think mines are pretty well set. anmp will make a case it is emergency and the wall is the
7:50 pm
only way to solve it, but i think it is pretty unlikely it changes the situation. shery: do expect them to invoke national emergency? we know it will lead to legal challenges, but it could up the stakes in this standoff. jeffrey: i doubt that is coming tonight, but a do think that is emerging as a solution, if you can call it a solution, to this crisis. trump obviously cannot countenance backing down so asly to the democrats, a result, he needs a creative solution to get him out of this jam he has put himself in. the national emergency may do that for him. though it is likely to end up in the courts. haidi: a pretty dramatic solution. will be tying his political future on it because there are many aspects of tapping that funding that will be deeply unpopular with even his base supporters. jeffrey: yes, i think for his they will probably go
7:51 pm
along with most anything he does. the audience to worry about our republican legislators on capitol hill. the situation he has himself in, it is impossible to back down. the national emergency would allow him to create a new scapegoat, which would be the courts. presumably they would block this move. the rationale is not particularly strong. that would allow him to say look, the courts are preventing me from building a wall. i did everything i could, but the courts are standing in the way. it might be a silver lining in that it keeps it alive for him as a campaign issue going into the presidential election in 2020. haidi: it is quite a way to start out 2019, isn't it? and this televised address to get messaging across, clearly they think it is not coming across enough to be convincing. does this really set the tone of that 2019 is another year we of asee domestic politics
7:52 pm
chaotic nature as u.s. politics continue to dominate? jeffrey: yes, it is certainly a bad sign for any hopes people of bipartisan cooperation in this congress. i think one area that is hurt is infrastructure. that was a place where there was overlap between house democrats and trump, and potentially could have seen progress. i do not think we can rule that out yet. this is not a productive way to start off the year, as you said. the other big area to watch is the debt ceiling coming up in the spring or early summer. if we have this partisan rancor in congress, that raises concerns in markets. shery: jeffrey, the rational between president trump building this wall coming he says there is a security crisis on the mexico-u.s. border. what is the situation there? jeffrey: the number of
7:53 pm
attempting -- crossings and attempted crossings, of families and family groups has risen somewhat. although the level of crossings as well below where it was at its peak in the later part of the bush administration. this is a crisis in any real sense is not a legitimate claim. this is a big part of trump's political appeal. it was something he campaigned on in 2016. the sense that the border is under threat is part of his political outlook and very popular with his supporters. i would interpret it primarily as a political move independent of the facts of the border. shery: any time we have controversy such as trade tensions with china, we keep saying president trump may have to back down. is a shutdown a different issue? because there are so many
7:54 pm
federal employees out there. jeffrey: i think it was relatively easy -- the shutdown basically the 21st, on the holidays when no one was paying attention to politics. it was easy for people to justify the shutdown. as we come back to normal life, a gets -- it gets more and more difficult by the day. there is a issue of virus tax refunds, not being able to process exemptions to trump's tariffs, the agriculture department not paying subsidies to farmers. there are a lot of things the federal government does that go unnoticed when things are going well. every day that goes by with the government shutdown, those things start to be noticed by people. that is not just here in washington and new york, it is across the country and in places of voted for president trump. haidi: what is the most likely scenario how this plays out? jeffrey: i think tonight will
7:55 pm
mostly be messaging. what i am looking for is later in the become, potentially thursday when trump goes to the border, a declaration of national emergency that might allow him to save the face, but to reopen the government and kick this issue into the courts. haidi: jeffrey, appreciate your views. down to thatng televised nationwide address coming up in the next hour. let's take a look at markets in asia. sophie is in hong kong. sophie: casting the spotlight on taiwan, forecasting 10,000 points for the year end, after losing 8.6% last year. this after a series of weak ecodata. bulls are looking at external factors. we are keeping an ion chinese auto parts suppliers. requestedkers have
