ubs wealth management telling investors not to chase this rally. let's look at what futures are doing. looking relatively flat. it may take a while to see where the markets are targeting this morning. now, they have the european market set to open. london will be in focus and we have yet another vote on brexit. this is whether or not they will extend the timeline of when the u.k. would leave the eu. ftse 100 opening up flat but slightly to the downside. liv-ex also opening flat. -- the ibex also opening flat. for the market of a low chinese stocks were slower and a mixed picture in asia. let's take a look at what is going on in sectors. one thing i'm interested in his industrial.
4:01 am
xi jinping and emmanuel macron are talking about a potential deal at the end of the month. they had earnings and weaker growth at the start of the year. i also want to look at materials what we have chinese data, we did see aluminum and steel producers hit records, good for iron and miners when you think about individual movers this morning? amory, -- annf, marie, brent is to the upside. companies that are adding points to the stoxx 600, you can see total and shell. are alsoand sanity helping out. looks like oil and pharma stocks we see britishr -- helping out.
4:02 am
we see british tobacco also helping to drag the stoxx 600 down. thesee, to some extent, material miners helping to her to hurt the stoxx 600 as oil -- adding.at anna: let's talk about the market open, slightly to the upside. the pound pulled back after the highest in june, coming after british lawmakers rejected the idea of crashing out of the eu. terry ourselves out, as my colleagues but it. let's get more on the market reaction. mark, let me ask you about the pound and the u.k. assets. what is the markets now pricing in, or are they just policy for thought? thought?g for we could get parts of the house of commons coming together to craft brexit, and we do not know
4:03 am
the timescale attached to that. >> there is a loss of confusion in the market. portfolio a lot the managers, and it was clear there is no consensus on what direction there will be on brexit. there is a general view that there will still be a relief rally because they are going to avoided no deal, the worst-case scenario. whether it is a long extension, either way, there is some relief rally. my personal view is that once we get the relief rally government we then go back to long-term negative fundamentals. but there is a lot of confusion. one of the cake things to watch is if we get an indicator vote on whether the u.k. wants to stay in the customs union. bee are saying it might suggested as an amendment, and that would be a powerful move if passed. theresa may is ansi having those kind of votes. so we wonder if she has been undermined a nafta of have to --
4:04 am
underminded enough to have to allow that vote. matt: what are your thoughts on how the stock market will react? how important are the details to ftse traders, or do they just care about the fact that no deal should not happen? >> that is key at the moment, that we have supposedly blocked no deal. theoretically, it is still possible because we are headed towards the legal date. we would have to revoke article 50, which would be extreme. it seems very unlikely we will get no deal, the most important thing. there is still a lot of confusion about where to go. there is still debate as to whether there is any point in extending months, how will we suddenly get a much better deal by then? it seems as if there is an extension, it will need to be long, meaning the u.k. needs to
4:05 am
agree to participate in parliament elections. so there is a lot of confusion at the moment, but we seem to have made the worst-case scenario a real tail risk, the one short-term positive. you aboutlet me ask the broader market picture and chinese data. you are usually based in singapore, usually spending time poring over that data. see china 7%o weaker, it is a volatile index, but still quite a move. unemployment moving in the right direction, which could be interesting. >> we still have not seen the bottom of the china growth slowdown. many think it will come through in q2, bloomberg intelligence is in that camp. saw a big drive in stimulus come through from october last year. that is what we saw that the major shift from rather than a subtle deleveraging, that is when xi jinping came out and
4:06 am
said they would provide unwavering support. aat is when we began to see coordinated effort to supply stimulus to support the economy. that is slowly starting to seep through, but there is still a lack. certainly, data in china is imperfect. , soave seen equities surge it makes sense there is a pullback. trade, theorrected policy is forward-looking, they are correct to be optimistic. remain optimistic overall, but unfortunately, there is too much optimism, to quickly. continue toets will be difficult until we get a trade deal signed and that will be the catalyst for a massive move higher chinese equities that will lead global equities higher. mark, thank you very much for joining us after your late night with traders. mark, our mliv strategist in the

city of london for the week. we are live at the j.p. morgan conference in paris. francine lacqua has an exclusive interview with the banks copresident daniel pinto. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:08 am
4:09 am
anna: welcome back, 10 minutes into the trading day.
4:10 am
let's get a bigger perspective on global markets, back to jpmorgan in paris. francine lacqua is joined by daniel pinto, copresident of jpmorgan. francine: thank you so much. i am delighted to be joined by daniel pinto. daniel, thank you for joining us. last year, almost exactly to the date, we were talking at this very conference where you have some of the best investors in the world, about market corrections. you told me they would be a 20-40% correction. what do you think today? daniel: at the time, in every six or 10were only months before, the correction would start. and there is a correction of 20-40%. policies that every central bank will adopt, the cycle will become longer.
4:11 am
therefore, the two or three years, is a year after. i think that they are relatively constructive about the markets to where we are today. december wascine: ugly. the last quarter of 2018 was ugly. what is the probability of seeing that this year? daniel: it is possible, we had to corrections last year, six corrections in the cycle. i was looking at the models that we used to predict recession in the next 12 months the model is based on economic data and sentiment data was given a probability of may 20%. he was giving 90%.
4:12 am
economy,look at the when you look at even our retail data, what consumers are doing, consumer confidence, delinquents and all that, clearly, the u.s. was not. it had 90% of probability of a recession. so it is not a surprise. the violence of the move was driven by liquidity. really, the economy could not justify that kind of correction. francine: what could be the next trigger? is it sentiment, mood, politics? the way the market is functioning? daniel: the market will be watching what happens with the u.s. and the global economy, with trade and brexit. this is the longest cycle we've had in a long time. so the market will be watching these things, and because of the market liquidity, or rather lack of liquidity, these reactions
4:13 am
may happen again. so who knows? we had six, we may have 10 more. thinkne: ever -- the emerging markets are overcrowded? daniel: not all. the fact that the fed will probably hold rates lower for a long amount of time, a stable dollar, signs of stability on growth in china, stable commodity prices and recovery in brazil, even argentina. overall, there is a good backdrop. today, we have seen flows into emerging markets. it is still a small fraction of 2016 or 17. francine: there is not the chance of suddenly really strong inflation and having to hike? daniel: the probability is very
4:14 am
low. i do not think it is a high probability. francine: do you see anything and the markets that they are either mispricing or misunderstanding? market is relatively rational and fairly priced. i don't think they are overpriced after the correction. i don't think that growth is overpriced. i don't think spreads are in the wrong place the market is in a good place. when you look at a market in a good place and an economy that is doing fine globally, you can argue that the backup for markets is good in the next year or two. francine: what about brexit? daniel: we have been working so hard to be prepared, to continue serving our clients, if there is a hard brexit. our view is that it is not going to happen, but we are prepared. francine: that is what, legal
4:15 am
entities moving stocks? daniel: it is. legal entities in europe, we operate particularly in four places, germany, france, luxembourg. people move along the way, so some may start commuting for a. of time -- for a period of time . we don't want to disturb the lives of people if we do not have to, we'll do it gradually, but we will prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. francine: has any of the pound volatility impacted your recipes? daniel: it is one of the components. i think the preparation is more a matter of bottom line and cost and investment in getting ready, rather than the effect on the bottom line. clearly, the outcome will have
4:16 am
an impact on the u.k. economy and the outcome will have an impact on the global economy, so therefore, we are correlated to whatever happens in the global economy. it will be at impact if there is an outcome, which i hope it doesn't happen. francine: would it be systemic? this is the kind of a mistake, right? something that if it does not go to plan, what the markets freeze up? daniel: i don't think so. i think banks and financial institutions are already well-prepared. i don't think it is a systemic issue. it is one of the components within a bunch of issues, not just one. francine: what higher plans for banks in china? daniel: we are doing well in the past years, we appointed a new leader to run it for us. we are investing in the business, we have apply for licenses for our securities company with majority and a path
4:17 am
to full ownership over time. but china isudent not an economy you can ignore, so therefore, we will continue to steadily invest, and as the market develops, companies like jpmorgan and have a lot of value. ficc,ne: when you look at have you see that developing? -- how do you see that developing? daniel: it has been one of the more challenging developments. the wallet last year was $96 billion. they were very clear that it is a business that is very important to our client and the key to success was scale. wallet, the only way to maintain scale is to increase market share, and that is exactly what happened.
4:18 am
scale issiness and our perfectly possible. basis, and it is a very good marginal return we are super committed to that business and have not been shrinking investment at all. it is important to the client. matt: if scale is important, do you want to scale that up? we are perfectly comfortable at our level of market scale. it is not our choice, it is that of our clients to do more or less. but we are investing to provide the best possible service. if that is a consequence of that, our scale goes up, that would be great. what are your clients tell you about how they want to invest and how they want to use your service? the clients are more and
4:19 am
more interested in the client experience, the quality of liquidity that you provide, access information and data, the quality of your analytics. most importantly, how you behave in times like december. so that you are not a fair weather friend, you are in the market in the good times and bad times. that is what clients care about, embezzlement do, and we have done quite well -- that is what we do, and we have done it quite well. --ncine: these guys are looking for opportunities to enter the market. i think it is good. if they were to be another correction, if there were to be another like december, it is that offer of value. people are less concerned about day-to-day volatility and are more concerned about value, they will go for that. aftere will see for now
4:20 am
the recovery is probably a call consolidation -- probably a consolidation. but because of the economic backdrop, markets will continue to be positive. francine: is this globally, or is there a region? if you leave the u.s. to one side, does asia do better than europe, or the other way around? daniel: it is difficult to know. the correlation of markets at this time, the cycle, it will be quite high. i seeis no mispricing anywhere, so i think it will be positive for everyone, hopefully. francine: talk to me about jpm: -- jpm coin. daniel: it is going well, it is a prototype. we have put together multiple parts of jpmorgan, we want to create a big platform.
4:21 am
we launched and interbank network, essentially a network of banks to share information and do more overtime. it coin is related to that, is a very effective way to move instantaneously, 365 days a year in a very effective way. it really will help clients to optimize the management or liquidity. it is one dollar one coin, so there is no volatility. it is a good way to track value on the possibility of optimizing the management of liquidity. matt: daniel pinto, thank you for joining. francine: that is of course the chief officer of jpmorgan. i will handed back to you in westminster, and. -- anna. anna: thank you, francine. great to hear daniel pinto's thoughts on the market.

options forced off the table by other people, everyone is reluctant to settle for the second preference. what is going on is a funny game of trying to force some options off the table so that some people are to be confronted with having to embrace their second preference market something they really hate. anna: could no deal still happen by accident? yes.nwen: it is still in the legislation that we exit marked 29th unless we have a deal. unless that has changed, we exit. anna: and we could wait until tuesday or wednesday next week before theresa may decides to ask for an extension. possible thatis she is very likely to ask informally over the weekend. anna: we have a lot of international viewers watching. some of them no doubt baffled,

some fascinated, some completely confused. do you think the systems we used to make our laws are being tested to the limit? doing a bigger change worth the system working exactly how it should be? bronwen: it is working according to its rules. of think it is testing the system, not print breaking point. it is showing all the weaknesses of it. if you are going to take a positive view as to what this is showing, it is showing us that the two-party system, the parliamentary system, which depends on the government having a big majority to get things through, that is creaking. you could say britain is a complex people with a lot of people who believe different things. when you to think of possibly a feature of coalition government. many different parties representing all kinds of things.

you would think if you have this picture in the uncertainty we see over brexit, you would want hedges because uncertainty breeds volatility. in the gilt market, we are not seeing that. instead, we are seeing options fall. one month, 10 year options on sterling rates. what we see here is continued volatility. i have the original referendum vote in the u.s. election. instead, uncertainty is causing the boe being a unable to move. you really don't want to become an investor trying to buy this volatility right now because premium is not there and you would get crushed. expect this measure of volatility to stay depressed until we get any sort of clear outcome. matt: thanks very much. dani burger there with a look at

definitely a disorderly exit and is not the right decision. anna: one of my colleagues described it as an alice in wonderland movement. what do you think will be the next step here? it seems as if theresa may still wants to try with her deal. do you think she stands a chance? sam: i think it is unlikely to pass because people feel very strongly that a deal is not the right deal. that is not just in parliament. deal is also deeply unpopular in the country. they feel it is one of the least popular options out there. the attorney general might have advise somewhat that there will be a number of brexiteers celebrate he supported deal, but she cannot get the deal through .n conservative and dup votes she needs a substantial rebellion from the labour side.

flexible. economic the moment, she expects everyone to be flexible while she remains inflexible. she is still stuck in the same group as far as trying to run a deal for. what -- run a deal through. there are other options the executive has blocked us from looking at. i think until parliament has gone for that process, we are going to be stuck in this endless cycle of the government fallsg weak motion that short of promises made and be surprised that people vote against it. matt: how much softer doesn't get than the withdrawal agreement itself? as long as you have the backstop in their, the likelihood that the pay has kept in the eu basically forever, at least the customs union forever is high. that is the problem. it wasn't actually a brexit to begin with.
4:50 am
don't you think that people actually want to see the u.k. leaving the eu? sam: for those who really want to leave the eu, the problem for them with accept is that with the backstop their, they do not realize any of the benefits of leaving that they promised the electric. the truth is -- electorate. the truth is that the backstop is not going away. borders,ontrol of our but do not want the other side to have a border. that is not going away. that have beenns brought have been very much up to the government, but it doesn't feel as if we ever get to that point where we get a full assessment. what youe behind us, would actually vote for. independence votes, how will this work -- indicative votes,

seems to think there is still room to try once again to push for deal through. we could get meaningful vote number three next week. at the same time, there are various members of parliament trying to work across the aisle a little bit to try and come up with other ideas and options. we will see some of those options tested this evening. some of those amendments try to establish is their support in the house for a second referendum. we will wait until lunchtime to find out which of these amendments he chooses to be voted on. hopefully, we see interesting votes this evening that will narrow down the options. tom: let's go to therese raphael. i really can't say enough about this opinion piece. yesterday's vote killed off two remissions fictions.
5:07 am
no deal is better than no deal and the so-called managed no deal. alice in the wonderland moment where the prime minister instructed her party to vote her emotion down. now lawmakers need to say what they want to happen. the chancellor broke ranks yesterday with his prime minister. does the prime minister have a government this thursday? : she does at the moment. bronwen earlier and she says the meaningful vote next week, if it takes place could still stand a chance of passing. to last by an an enormous amount anjanuary, -- she lost by enormous amount in january. there is this other activity taking place around trying to find some kind of compromise
5:08 am
across the house, a new kind of brexit may be removing the red line. that is a much longer term project. that is what the chancellor seems to be alluding to, that we do need to decide what the house of commons would vote for. things remain very unclear. more votes later this evening. much.ne: thank you so anna edwards in london in front of westminster. joining us is the trilateral commission chair and former ecb president. thank you for joining us right here. a rather noisy paris at this 2019 global markets conference. when you look at the risk of brexit, with a be a systemic risk if there is no deal brexit? what is dramatic really is
5:09 am
the level of uncertainty that we have. we know that no deal has been computed very well by the bank of england. it would represent an an enormous hit for the pay economy and by way of consequence, also for the uae economy. for both, it is really very grave. it does not take into account this stalemate in westminster. all the other countries. francine: what does it mean for central-bank policy? if there was a crashing out, what does it mean for banks being ready? claude: to has been a lot of contact between the bank of england and other banks around the world, not only the ecb.
5:10 am
confidence that they would do as well as possible to protect the economy of all countries concerned. muche say, i hope very that at the end of the day there will be a deal because it be such an absurd demonstration to have the no deal. that being said, i must confess that i'm amazed to see that it is impossible to get the final position. they are rejecting everything until now. maybe there will be new events. wait and see a little bit, which is now very likely. newelections, decision-making. francine: what is the european position on this? i keep hearing europe just wants them to get on with this. they have problems of their own at home.
5:11 am
how much do they actually worry about brexit? claude: all europeans are worrying a lot. i really take it that they are still on the opinion that it would be better if the u.k. wednesday. stay.uld a lot of drama is created in london, but if london would say finally we stay, they would be accepted cheerfully by all europeans. we have to remember that. that is important because one could expect, you decided to leave, you leave. there is still a desire to help in any respect, but to help the u.k., the u.k. has to help itself. i hope very much that it is what they will do at the end of the day. francine: thank you for now.

situation. what is your assessment currently? steve: this situation is so fluid, it is best to wait and do nothing. i still have some strong positions in the u.k. they are not large. the results could be bad, but we will see. it is not clear the e.u. will give a delay to the u.k. it has to be unanimous and there is a chance the u.k. will ask for a delay and the e.u. will say no. tom: let's go to the chart and show the relative differential of an american bank well run. 2017, ay the summer of normalized basis, jpmorgan, barclays, and deutsche bank bundled together. are you going to make some news and tell me barclays is one of

your shorts and not cricket? steve: not cricket. tom: you have some u.k. banks you are not happy with. it is a -- is it a property issue, revenue issue, or they just cannot compete with fortress dimon? steve: european banks generally have impaired business models because they are one and a half to two more times levered that u.s. banks. in the long, if you want to make a bet, you can buy jpmorgan and short most of the european banks and you will be fine. my thought on the u.k. banks is a brexit play. tom: can you explain why sterling went up with the chaos and meltdown yesterday? by the surprised advancement of the currency given what we have seen? steve: i am a bit surprised in

that none of the outcomes are great for the u.k. if you get a long delay, who will invest in the u.k. if there is a 20 month delay over brexit? until theyow well have certainty about the end result. to coalesceeem around any solution whatsoever in the u.k. u.k.is negative for the long-term, one way or another. francine: if we had general elections in the u.k., what does that mean for investors? you of talked about the labour party and what jeremy corbyn stands for. is a veryemy corbyn far left politician. he is as far left as we have seen in the west in many decades , and i do not say that disparagingly.

6:43 am
the median household income grew 6%. that is an average growth of 30 basis points. it is the difference between globalization and globalism. globalization was supposed to create prosperity for everyone. ,t created prosperity for a few and that explains economic impact on politics from populism and progressives in the united states to brexit in the u.k. to the yellow vests in france to the populists in italy. tom: what can global wall street do? eisman, you walk in the restaurant and everyone hashes, hes, youpart of -- hus are part of the gilded age. steve: this election is seminal

because if the republicans win, the trends continue and if the democrats win, i think they will try to reverse a lot from the last 20 years. i do not think the market understands the full implication of what this could mean. francine: do you worry about the budget deficit of the u.s.? steve: i am sort of an agnostic about the budget deficit. the people who have argued the deficit is a problem have been making that argument 30 years, and the price of that risk is interest rates which have only gone down. when you make an argument for 30 ,ears and you have been wrong you need a compelling reason to show why you are right today. i have not heard a compelling argument as to why the deficit is a problem. francine: do you worry about china? i am trying to get my finger on the pulse of what you worry
6:45 am
about in the u.s. economy and external factors. do you worry china will slow down or stop buying treasuries? steve: i think the u.s. market is fine, growth slightly slower 2.5% to8, anywhere from 2.5% plus a little bit. i do not think china is that big a risk unless there is no trade deal. the long-term risk to the market is politics and a change in the way government views the economy in this presidential election. this election is incredibly important. fundwe saw another hedge today go down in flames in xeric, switzerland -- xeric, switzerland -- zurich, switzerland. is the hedge fund game over?

steve: i do not think it is over. world, it is hard to generate -- it is hard to make alpha when you are charging two and 20. there is an impact on fees and as we get to a more normalized rate world, it will be easier, but that is a long road. tom: i have a headline out, this is mr. trump. you have to help me with this. this has been widely anticipated . he is prepared to veto this important border anti-emergency border. this has been hugely contentious with gop senators and the remember, the mathematics of a veto is a little different than a straight up and down vote. .e continue with steve eisman
6:47 am
let's get back to hedge funds. the challenge here of making alpha, which is that thatrential, is volatility? you look at the dampening of vol we see now. is there a permanence do it? steve: as long as rates state low -- stay low. they have a suppression effect on volatility and alpha, and we are migrating to a more normalized world, the u.s. quicker than europe. getting off europe zero rates anytime soon. i feel like they are stuck and it is hard for them to move off this zero interest rate strategy they created. francine: does that mean it will be even more painful when they get out of it? steve: the problem is, every time they try and get out of it, the market goes down and they
