crude producers will be meeting over the weekend to talk about cut spirit -- about cuts. weaker, this is after theresa may one a number of unmanned entering 11th hour brinksmanship. this is where futures are stacking up, looking to be a positive start. up a tad opening higher, but relatively flat. we could potentially see markets to the upside after a better positive trading session across asia. futures are pointing to a higher start across the continent. london take center stage this week as theresa may gets the extension of brexit. let's take a look at what is going on across the sector picture. it is looking mostly green. we have financials, energy, health care, staples down to the

red. minors as well as luxury, given those tax cuts. as technology, we had three big cap earnings out they were probably disappointing in terms of earnings, there may be some read across today. matt: i see 400 stocks gaining today, 171 are down. so it is basically 2-1 to the upside. a look at companies adding the most points, sap is right up there at the top, , i'm sorry, .3 of a point. as well as unilever, nestle, you

are really seeing these consumer staples gain to the -- gain today. swedbank is one of the biggest losers, ubs also a loser. volkswagen dropping .8%. european equity markets opening higher, the ftse doing a little better than some. this comes as the pound studies after critical votes in parliament. speaking to bloomberg, jamie dimon told us that there is still a 10% chance of a harder it could freeze the markets, at consequences we do not expect today if you close against that, we get to a 24/7 war roomstatus --

status. something like this will have unintended consequences. anna: that was a jamie dimon speaking to my colleague francine lacqua in paris. joining us from management is mike bell. we heard jamie dimon bucket about the possibility of a kind of hard brexit or even a no deal. that's still in the legislation, until it isn't. give us your range of possible outcomes and attach some probabilities to them. >> i think a no deal brexit is still a possibility, but it is low probability. 5-10%. 10%, i would say ultimately, we have seen parliament show that there is not a majority in favor of a no deal brexit. you are right that unless they can agree on either an extension , which leave the eu to agree, or they approve the deal, and

that is the default position. but it is quite clear now that parliament does not want a no deal and that, therefore, we live get this deal approved in the next couple of weeks, or likely to end up with a long extension. is there any possibility of brexit in which the u.k. has the sovereignty to negotiate its own trade deals with other nontries, or is that now longer within reach? problem with this negotiation which some have not wanted to own up to is that if you are going to have a situation where you avoid having a border, a key priority for the vast majority thenople in parliament, the problem with that is that

until there is a technological solution, which does not exist at the moment, you need a customs union. if you have a customs union, then you have to apply the same customs you do with the eu. result, you not be able to strike out and do free trade deals with some other countries. as a failure to recognize that inherent conflict between avoiding a hard border, and therefore the need to have a customs union, which is causing the difficult in parliament. may'sat is not theresa fault, that is in inherent conflict and there's no one in the world who can make that go go away. anna: what do you think the pound is assuming? at 1.32.talled where does it go next week? ultimately, the pound cares

about a no deal brexit. again, i think that is only a 5-10% outcome. the market is pricing perhaps relatively low probability, but the problem is that in the event of that outcome, the downside to sterling would be very significant. if you applied a low probability outcome to a high potential impact, it weighs on sterling. once you remove that risk, it may be that has stopped get completely taken off the table, but if you saw a long extension you can see the pound rally. approved --e deal approves, the deal it oculd be north of 1.35.

matt: what does this do to other assets in the u.k.? does this give you more confidence to buy ftse stocks? does this make you want to divest in domestic holdings? how does this change the equity strategy? the economy, if it weren't for uncertainty around brexit, it looks healthy. you got low unemployment and wage growth, what is encouraging is you are seeing wage growth picking up that is helping to support consumption. despite the uncertainty. this cloud of uncertainty hanging over the economy. the uncertainty was removed, or at least diminished by having would extension, then you see a pickup in confidence, a bounce in business investment in

confidence, and so some of those domestic plays on the u.k. economy, which look quite cheap, could bounce in that scenario sterling would move higher, so some of the international names might not perform as well. anna: thank you very much for your thoughts. mike bell stays with us on set in london. let's bring you up-to-date with one of our developing stories this morning. the latest on the terror attacks in new zealand. lisa said the death toll has now reached 49 after the attacks into mosques in christchurch. leader has described them as carefully planned. police say three men and one woman have been arrested and are in custody. others went on to call it one of new zealand's darkest of days. we will continue to update you,

let's listen into this briefing by police. i take my hat off to all of my staff, i'm extremely proud of what they have done to date. thank you. why were these people not on a security watchlist? >> very good question. what i want to tell you right : nois that we had no agency agency had any information about these people. and i can tell you that i have been in contact with my australian colleagues, they have no information on them at all either. they are assisting with our inquiries. i can also add that part of our investigation will be to look tok at every possibility lawre that we, in enforcement and security, did not miss any opportunities to prevent this event. >> who carried out the shooting?

wasn't the same person at both? look, i would love to go into detail, but a person has been charged. for me to now go into details of who did what would not be proper. [inaudible] >> again, i know there is a name within the public domain, but it would be improper for me to confirm it because a person has been charged. threat on a a facebook page made against the community. are you aware of that? aware of that suggestion, which we are working through at the moment. when i have absolute clarity about that, i will be sharing that. i am only aware of the suggestion, not aware of it actually existing.

anna: welcome back to the european market open, 13 minutes into the trading day. let's get individual stock movers, annmarie hordern has been this morning. is thee: wirecard biggest loser, down nearly seven percentage points. to sellp cut the stock after prolonged uncertainty, saying it will likely take longer to resolve allegations

than the market is pricing in your volkswagen a touch softer, being sued by the u.s. the theys and exchange alleged -- and they alleged that there commissions did not adhere to standards. french national assembly approved a 70 year concession to the paris airport operator, for sure boosting the stock listed. matt: thank you very much, annmarie hordern there with individual movers. efforts to end the trade war have reportedly been delayed with meetings between president trump and xi jinping likely month at the earliest. are pressinghey for a formal visit rather than a low-key appearance. mike bell, market strategist at jpmorgan is still with us.

mike, what he think of the state of trade talks and how important is this to your investment strategy? mike: it is key. if you look at the rally so far, in my mind, it has been driven by two factors. the first is hope the trade war will not escalate further. a fair amount of good news on trade or good expectations, at least, has been priced in so far year to date. at least not getting any further escalation in the trade war is important. other thing driving markets is optimism that the fed is going to keep rates at this level for the foreseeable future. those are the key things that have driven markets higher. we need both of them to be delivered upon. anna: let me ask you about the china story, heard from the

premier overnight about resisting the temptation to engage and large-scale stimulus. we heard about some stimulus, reducing taxes, for example. have they got it right in china? the right level of stimulus for the challenges they face? toe: they will be able stabilize the pace of growth at a level they are happy with, around 6% year on year. they will deliver what they want. what is important to understand is that the magnitude of the stimulus is going to be less than what he saw in the past. in the past. 2016 was the last time we had a slowdown in the global economy. at the time, the fed pause and china stimulated. in some ways, it does look similar, but there are important differences. one of them is that the scale of stimulus is going to be less this time around.

that is predominantly because you do not see the same degree of weakness in the property market that you had back then. ,hat is obviously a good thing but it does mean stimulus is less likely to be as significant as it was before. in some ways, u.s. for this, but i want to get altogether for the mliv blog. this is the question of the day: how big of a headwind for global equities is a delay in a u.s. china trade deal? mike: what would be a head winds would be to see any escalation in tariffs. a delay that keeps things as they are, i think markets would be fine. what markets don't want to see is an increased threat of further tariffs, and certainly not any implementation of further tariffs. as long as we stick with the status quo, tariff levels at the

moment, i think the market will be ok. escalation, to see i think that becomes a headwind. quo, talking of the status what do you expect from japan anytime soon? , and onefrom the boj of our colleagues concluded that the weaker global economy is taking its toll on japan, but not enough to change their monetary framework. would you agree? mike: i think they are limited with what they can do. japan, there are headwinds to domestic growth over the coming year or so. rises that the tax are likely to come through. generally, you look at the onographics jack -- drag japan that is likely to take place as the population starts to decrease. when we look at investing in japan, we are for structural growth stories, rather than

plays on domestic growth. for example, look at the tour is an industry. --the middle class in asian asia rises, japan see a rise in tourists. you've got the rugby world cup, a great showcase for the beauty of that country. the growth stories such as towards him and robotics, one of the attractive opportunities in japan at the moment. matt: mike bell, great to get those insights from you. global market strategist at jpmorgan, he will stay with us. oilext, the focus turns to and the best week we -- weekly rally in a month as oil producers consider output curves. we look ahead to this weekend talks.ks -- weekend's this is bloomberg. ♪

matt: welcome back to the european open, we are 22 minutes into the trading day in europe. opec and allies will meet this weekend in azerbaijan to decide how much oil to pump in the months ahead. the producer group faces a tightening market with the

prices rally, including -- for reasons including crisis in venezuela and price cuts. twist, annmarie hordern is here to explain. annmarie: not all oil is created equal, and that could be something working in opec's favor. markets have been flooded by the surge in u.s. shale production, the high-quality oil is thin and easy to refine with a low sulfur content, earning it the name light, sweet, crude. much of opec's production is sour, heavy crude, a different animal. it is harder to refine, though better for making diesel. but the u.s. shale boom is relatively new and refiners who invested millions in processing heavy stuff pay a premium. with much sweet and not enough sour, u.s. oil is far cheaper than dubai's benchmark.

facing opec isn whether they extend the cuts and tighten an already strained market of a very heavy coming very sour crude. anna: bloomberg's annmarie hordern reporting their. -- there. mike bell from jpmorgan is still with us. what are your expectations? we spoke on the earlier program to a guest about playing this through russian exposure and exposure to shale, what is your strategy? mike: i have been neutral on oil from here obviously, it's got potential that supply tightens would provide upside, and on the other hand, there is weakness in the global manufacturing sector. the oil price of the last two years has been determined almost entirely by supply. so the demand story has been a

straight line upwards. yes, there have been moments where concern around demand has impacted the price of the actual demand story will be a straight line upwards. the key question for oil, if you take a two-year out of you -- at view is if we will take slowdown or if it will lead to a weaker demand outlook. , and overall, given the two-way factors, i would be neutral on oil. matt: what do you think about electric cars? tesla just unveiled the model y and volkswagen is going to electrify pretty much its entire fleet. going to bring down the demand line so that it is no longer rising straight up? long-term thethat

answer to that is that it will certainly weigh on demand for oil. that is probably a longer-term near term forthe more about global growth. you are trading the oil outlook on a 10 year view, you need to consider that. if you look on a one-to your outlook, you need to have a good idea about what will happen to the global manufacturing sector. are we going to see an acceleration in manufacturing? which at the moment is pretty weak, perhaps helped by china stimulus. is that chinese stimulus going to help to stabilize growth in china, but not lead to a material pickup in global manufacturing? that's come up to me, is the bigger question in the near term rather than a discussion around electric vehicles. matt: mike, thank you very much. mike will be joining us on bloomberg radio's daybreak carry live on london to

things not so that there. there were two strands we need to know watch. it seems as she is point to parliament next week for meaningful vote number three. thate is successful, promise a short delay request to june. 27 for the end of the alternative is a plan b, that is what jeremy corbyn and others seem to be working on even the scenes. that is still very much on the table. options, and no deal brexit is still very much on the table. the 29th of march remains in the legislation the date that we do brexit. we will have to wait to see what kind of response the tickets to italy request -- to a delay quest. this week that the parliament doesn't want no deal and wants a delay to the brexit

that point will be to get rid of at least one of her red lines, which is the single market, the customs union or migration. it is more likely if she decides to make those red lines go pink. that they? remains illegal for extension are long extension -- the big question remains do we go for extension or long extension. deal theresa may's stand any chance of passing? anna: we heard from bronwen maddox, she thinks that it does stand a chance. are moving in the right direction for her even though she did lose the second vote by still a substantial margin. we are going to hear a lot more

over the weekend from the u.k. government about what donald said about the length of that delay. that is something that will be used to put pressure on the dup two fall into line. theresa may also making this offer to the labour party and folks in the more center of her party that march 25 kennedy turnover as a day for parliament to take control of proceedings a little bit. that could be used to put pressure on the erg and dup. if they do fall in line, what kind of price what they put on that support? with they insist on some change of leadership, and then we could be into a home territory, because another leader for the conservative party at a time when they are trying to negotiate future leadership of the certainly disruptive. matt: my coanchor anna edwards there will continue to report

2020. david: you mention renewables. at what point is that cash positive for you? inry: it was cash positive 2018. we had a very strong year. in many respects, people would say the age of renewables is now. we saw dramatic increase in demand. we will have double-digit growth in 2019. given the timing of the cash cycle, while last year was quite strong, we are going to see a lot of pressure in renewables. we will probably see about a $2 billion swing. we think over time, renewables will continue to be a strong business and we will see a more normal cash performance there. david: what kind of margins are you looking at? the low single digits, double-digit? we don't the nobles,

think there's any reason we can't be in line with industry averages, which let's call a high single-digit. we have a lot of work to get there, but there is no reason we shouldn't be south of our competitors and where the industry is. ceo: that was the ge speaking to bloomberg's david westin. authorities confirming a man in his late 20's has been charged with murder in connection with the shooting in christchurch, new zealand that left at least 49 dead. say three men and one woman have been arrested. according to the prime minister, one of those arrested posted a manifesto showing extremist ideology. you may have chosen us, but we utterly condemn you.

we're going to get the higher more expensive models first. in 2020, and $47,000 longer-range 300 miles, than an all-wheel-drive version and a performance version, of two $60,000 is the sticker price. as expected, this is a model three size large, 10% larger. it looks very similar to the three.slightly more reminiscent of a standard suv that he might get as opposed to the existing model x which looks nothing like an suv. beyond that, we didn't really care about what the kind of reservations they have. when it launched the model three, they had a running catcher behind him on people that have preserved a model three. we also don't know where they are going to produce it. elon musk teased nevada, but he didn't confirm anything on that front during the and they'll. -- unveil.

anna: not sure where they are going to sell it perhaps either. why is another suv important to tesla? ed: seven out of 10 of what the u.s. market is buying right now is an suv or track. the model x really hasn't performed. expensive.at as too it has these falcon wings that people see as complicated, unnecessary. it hasn't taken off. if you can buy the model x and model s sales, it is not merely what they have done for the model 3. there is also competition from the market from the likes of audi. it is also an issue of addressable market. it is the story for tesla in 2018 about supply and production. is all about demand in 2019. by bringing this more typical

suv vehicle. the other big step they took was to bring a $35,000 model 3 into the market which makes evs more accessible for those who simply $60,000-$70,000 that tesla currently charges for its existing line. matt: you really don't need to have an open store. i already put together my tesla order here with the configurator on the website. 80,000 price of euros for mine. you have a chance to put in your payment details here. it is a $2000 deposit, 2000 euro deposit that they say is refundable.how many orders do you think they're going to get , how many $2500 deposits does tesla expect? ed: the principal analyst

concern here is that basically model y will cannibalize the demand for model 3. it is so far away from going into production and being delivered that customers don't order model 3's. in terms of cash flow, test 130,000 ordersst for the model 3 and the hours immediately following its launch. there could be serious preorders for this model. anna: thank you very much. let's get up-to-date with one of our developing stories overnight and this morning, the terror attacks in new zealand. police say one person has now been charged after the shooting at two mosques in christchurch. the death toll has reached 49 with more than 20 seriously injured. the prime minister says the attacks were carefully planned.

the lives lost in new zealand. there is news in washington and of course the brexit story, staggering to the weekend as well. let's now bring you up-to-date with more on what happened in new zealand. wellington. joining us now is wellington's bureau chief. what do we know so far? we heard from the prime minister. is always difficult to explain these kind of things, but what is the feeling on the ground? i think just a sense of absolute -- no one here can really understand or comprehend why this would happen in a place like new zealand. how it could happen. as you have just said, the death toll has risen to 49. worst massit the shooting in new zealand in modern times. we haven't had an event like this since something like 1943.

it is a shocking event for a country like new zealand that price itself on being peaceful and tolerant of all religions and races. it's an event that occurred in christchurch, the country's second largest city on the south island, which is still recovering from a devastating earthquake in 2011 that killed 185 people. i think a real sense of shock here in new zealand that this could even happen here. francine: we understand that 4 people are detained by police. what do we know about the? matthew: the police commissioner says that one of the people arrested has been charged with murder it will appear in court tomorrow. is unclearthers, it if they were involved were not. they were apprehended at the scene and were armed, but the police are now saying they are

not sure whether they were involved in the shootings. they also won't comment on shootings were conducted by the same person or several people. that remains unclear at this stage. what they are saying is that one person has been charged with murder. tom: every nation has its own social tensions and tensions of migration and immigration. there are some 46,000 muslims in new zealand. how to the muslims of new zealand fit into the fabric of the society? matthew: it is a very accepting society. there are tensions around immigration, the sort you would see in most nations. immigration has been a theme because we have had a lot of immigration in recent years. nothing to suggest that there is a groundswell of hatred or

intense racism that could lead to anything like this. that is why i think new zealanders are so shocked at this. the prime minister has suggested that perhaps new zealand was targeted precisely because it is such a tolerant and peaceloving nation. there are no radical right wing groups could point to that might be behind something like this. tom: thank you so much from wellington. now, with a news brief, here is video. -- viviana. viviana: theresa may won on a final push for her brexit deal. lawmakers voting to endorse promotion. the alternative is a lengthy delay to brexit the lawmakers are desperate to avoid. korea's kim jong-un is

for it, although she didn't manage to get it through parliament on the second attempt with meaningful that number two. that is one strand. the other is what we are seeing from jeremy corbyn and others trying to work on some kind of other plan. at the moment, they just don't seem to have the numbers. we saw banana republic, another colleagues also pointing to monty python metaphors. we really have seen stunning scenes, including the brexit secretary standing up and advocating a plan that he later had to vote against. tom: i know you and our team has had massive coverage. are you going to do team coverage on the separation of the conservatives? can the conservatives survive what we witnessed here? can the conservatives survive as a party? a: what we are going to hear

and laugh about over the next few days is how long the delay could be if the conservative party doesn't pull together and back this deal that theresa may have on the table. we heard from her deputy this morning saying the eu might offer an extension that is a year or longer. certainly, the erg won't want that. will they be persuaded by theresa may and geoffrey cox to come on board? that is the crucial thing. geoffrey cox has already amended his advice, drawing on the convention of all things to try and suggest the countries can back out of treaties that they sign. it all depends on whether this party stays together and eventually back her because they would prefer her deal to know brexit will. -- to no brexit at all. francine: joining us here in the

studio is the global head of fx macdonald,'slucy chief investment officer for global equities at allianz. i don't know why we now think she could get it through a third time. the attorney general is unlikely, i matter to change his view on the agreements because nothing has actually changed. we don't think the eu will give anything to theresa may. why with parliament suddenly get together and back her? : geoffrey cox is still looking and seeing if you can clarify his previous advice. as far as whether she can get it through next time, it depends on whether the threat of a longer extension is enough to bring both the dup and the erg onboard. it is going to be a really tough call. it is possible, but it is going to be very close. francine: what does it mean for

pound? >> i think within all of this madness and the mess we have experienced the past few months, and especially this past week, i think the main takeaway for me is that the tail risk seems to be having a lower and lower probability. you can actually see it. sterling is the best-performing currency against the dollar. i think the market is getting that message and basically pricing the hard brexit premium out of sterling and that is why it is pushing it. nonetheless, volatility is going to stay with us. the ball is going to be into the court to say exactly what they will require from the u.k. in order to grant potentially a prolonged extension. you nailed it,

which is the idea that we can't do a trade your. we don't have enough information for anybody to do a directional trade on sterling. is that right? vasileios: i think that is right. ready to take a view and wants to some of the volatility, in the end, we are gravitating toward some sort of a soft brexit. to that extent, you are going to get whatever premium is pressed into sterling. that means that sterling, on a medium-term basis is going to go higher. not excessively higher because even a soft brexit is going to put spent limits to the appreciation because of the damage to the economy. other than that, it is trying to take of you on sterling right now on a short-term basis, i think it is a futile game

because it is politics we are dealing with. francine: thank you so much. news onetting breaking iea. the iea saying that opec cut compliance. that, by opec standards are actually quite high. we know a lot of opec officials will meet over the weekend to discuss possible output cuts. coming up, we speak to the finance minister of ireland. domicile exclusive interview just after 10:00 a.m. london time. this is bloomberg. ♪

francine: today's i a report seeing a shift in tone. opec and analyze will meet this weekend while president trump has once again called on opec to moderate oil price. coming up is the head of the oil division. if you look at your latest report coupled with what the markets are doing, what you think opec should be doing? place that deal in it agreed in december. it runs through to the middle of the year. there is a meeting this weekend to look at progress on the deal. they will look at numbers quite similar to ours which showed that the compliance by the opec countries, where the deal is about 94%. that is going quite well. opec producers are coming in a

bit lower, but their compliance rate is increasing also. i think they will look at the markets and think their cuts have been reasonably successful so far. they stabilized oil prices, which have fallen to $50 a barrel before the end of the year. now, in the mid $60 for print. for the producers, they will think that is a fairly satisfactory situation. francine: what do you think we are actually going to hear from them? think they will review the market and think that the cuts are working quite well. don't forget, we are only in mid-march. the deal didn't start until the beginning of january. the deal has been working gradually. i would think that they will review those deals and think that it is still got time to run. they will no progress and get ready for the next meeting. obviously, it is up to them what they finally do, but i think it

would be quite surprising if they were to make a major change to their strategy at the moment. tom: you guys provide a huge public service, really trying to guesstimate supply and demand. is there a real way to understand or forecast forward to demand? is there really a way to get a handle on where demand is going, or do you just have to wait until you get the data? tomneil: obviously, there is an element of that. what we are seeing at the iea is that demand growth in 2018 was pretty strong. as we backfilled 2018 with real data, we are seeing that that number is roughly the case. as we try and understand what is happening in 2019, what we see is that so far in 2019, average prices are lower than they were in 2018. some of the pressures on developing countries, which were hit during the year, during last

year by very high crude prices and also currency weakness against the u.s. dollar, those pressures has eased on developing countries. rethink their demand growth is going to be reasonably strong in 2019. that is our view on demand. we think it was solid, last year and will remain solid in 2019 which isn't to say that we are keeping an eye on the economic headwinds, the trade disputes, slowdown in china and various other economic worries that people have. between artalance and science in forecasting demand. we are pretty comfortable with the outlook that we have. tom: thank you so much. neil atkinson with us from the iea. important interview, it is not just about general electric, it is about industrial best practices. our david westin in conversation

of washington. thank you for your message to me explaining brexit. explain to our global audience the veto process and why it is so unusual to have so many republicans go against their president. is particularly unusual for trump who has controlled the republican party with an iron fist, and they have remained steadfastly loyal. to have a dozen republican senators vote against the president's emergency declaration is incredibly consequential. -- he does notgh have enough -- congress does not have enough votes to override his veto. nonetheless, it is an embarrassment for him, and i think the republicans are concerned about what a democratic president would do with those powers.

say him out -- invoke and emergency on climate change. tom: more language and stronger language about mr. mueller in a final report, do you have any indication we will see anything from mr. mueller today, and a final report made public or not? atphanie: the rumor was woodland yesterday and it did not appear. the idea that we are suddenly going to get the mueller report in our inbox is false. even if he does issue the report and send it to the attorney general, that does not necessarily mean we will get to see it. could already have the report and is deciding what to do with it. with the vote in the house calling on the attorney general to release the report and make it public, that puts additional

pressure on the justice department to make it public. i think it is likely if we get a report, it would be heavily ,edacted or at least in part and you would have a fight in congress to try to make it public in its full and entirety. francine: thank you so much, stephanie baker with the latest. let's talk more about the u.s. from a central bank and monetary stance. at dollarook dynamics, does it have to do with monetary policy or global trade issues? >> it has been affected pretty much by both. i have to be honest and say i'm surprised that after the dovish move from the fed, the dollar has not sustained more losses.

extent, that has to do with lingering concerns about global growth that lead to demand for safe havens such as the dollar. if you look across the g10, the dollar tops the least in terms of the currency because it is suffering the highest kerry. across g10, you will get a perfect correlation between swap rates and different yields in countries, and the performance. potentially the exception is sterling. tom: what does it mean for earnings? i was told -- francine: what does it mean for earnings? i was told the s&p is probably the best indicator rather than inverted yield curves and the like. lucy: the strength in the u.s. relative to the rest of the world has been affected. the fact that you have had better than average u.s.

corporate earnings has certainly meant you have a slight disconnection between the normal relationship in the u.s. market and elsewhere in the world. we are normalizing that relationship, so as we go on, we have a monetary environment that is generally slightly tightening , but is very slow. you have an interest rate environment which has tightened a bit and is on hold for the foreseeable future. much more now down to what the earnings present, which will be a more normal level of single digits. that is the sort of environment we think we will get in market, low-ishe returns -- returns. tom: this is the vix, the

standard way we look at volatility. andave the ugly december, down we go to the quiet the lassitude that we see, and we see a way away from equities. we see it in foreign exchange. what is that dampening the quiet that lucy talks about, what does it signal? in termsou are getting of having volatility drifting even lower, i think it is largely has to do with the fact that you are getting monetary policy being communicated as longer than initially expected. you have the dovish view by the fed in february, followed by the bank of canada and the ecb, which took me by surprise. the down growth and fork --

surprise.as a liquidity that was there before and was about to be taken out will still remain for longer, and therefore you are getting this decrease in volatility. tom: i am going into the weekend and do not know what to do with my money. what has been allianz's distinction? lucy: a big thing we have been doing is investing more in china and china related. that has been the focus. that is where we are seeing the current real efforts by the onhorities in china come fiscal, monetary, infrastructure spending, everything being thrown to stabilize the economy. that we think will have an impact toward the end of the year. demand looks ok in china.

supply and production is still weaker, but we think as we get through the year, that will begin to stabilize. that is important obviously for things like european earnings and the economy, as well as for china. francine: thank you both. we are just getting some headlines from the irish finance mr. -- minister, he is saying parliamentf vote in are significant and is suggesting the u.k. take a look back to look at brexit. i think he is hinting at the red lines theresa may imposed on herself. we will be speaking to the finance minister of ireland in the next hour. this is bloomberg. ♪

way,are not extreme in a so i don't think there are many over there. francine: if you are extended for a long period, is there more risk you will not be able to pull it back? francesco: the risk is about financial stability. keeping interest rates so low for so long is a risk for financial stability. mr. draghi, like ms. yellen used to say, it is macro prudential measures that should take care of that. taking macros are prudential measures. it is unclear whether generalized financial stability could be dealt with by macro financial measures. tom: i have a pretty good understanding of what greece needed from germany in the heat of the greek crisis.

i lost track of what italy and other southern nations need from germany. what does italy need right now from the leadership of germany? francesco: italy needs leadership from italy, not from germany. there is not much but countries outside of italy can do. italy needs to think hard about what it is doing and try to remedy the mistakes the current government has done. if things move in the way i think they will move, in the way economics tell us they will move , they will have to rethink what they are doing. and i look at the europe the path forward for italy, there seems to be a bit of upset. what is your best outcome for the leadership of italy? francesco: i am not a political theyt, however what

promised is unlikely to come true. public opinion well sooner -- will sooner or later understand that italy is on the wrong track. and somehow, the direction will be changed. i don't know how. if the force of public opinion is there for a change, there will be a change. the question is when and after how much damage? francine: you are not a political expert -- which not many people are when it comes to these new coalitions. will they have to change their budget because of revised gdp growth lower? francesco: it is not only the budget. the big problem for the last 30 years is that italy is not growing. negativeity is zero or in italy for a decade and there

is nothing this government has done to remedy. you do not remedy that in a quarter or a year, but you have to start doing that. ,taly cannot keep not growing especially at the gdp ratio of 130%. the priority is not in the fiscal domain, at least in terms of fiscal deficit. it is in the growth demand. mean for what does it the rest of europe? as we see european elections, if you look at the path for the euro, well we have a sense of whether there is support for this currency after the elections in a couple months? francesco: so far, italy has not been a big problem for europe. turnurse, things seem to in a negative way when the government initially presented a budget that looked like a challenge to europe.

attitude,anged its more than the policy it changed the attitude. no more confrontations with europe, and this is limiting the impact of italy on europe and european elections, which of course we have many more important issues to look at. tom: thank you so much. coming up, we look at solvency and liquidity. only jerome schneider of pimco can do that with us. he is truly expert in the short-term fixed income space. we need an update on that with the low volatility we see. ♪

lower for longer, does it make it much more difficult to get out of? jerome: ultimately we will get more clarity with the fed meeting next week. we will stay between 2.25% and 2.5%. the fed has preserved optionality for themselves, creating a reaction function whereby there is more cemetery to the inflation -- symmetry to the inflation. they do not necessarily need to react when inflation starts moving higher. potentialtory for rate hikes is elongated as well. think of it as a healing process. the fed is allowing the financial conditions from last year to heal, so we will have an elongated, passive function from the fed that emphasizes patience. it is important to look at

underlying tones and recognize this transition from monetary policy to reducing the balance sheet will not be so smooth. do not confuse the patient's by the fed is being complacency -- iemce -- patients. -- jerome: the two-year yield is probably slightly higher. cut, we do not think that is necessarily the right trajectory. inbe agnostic of flatlining the next six to 12 months. a rate cut in the market does not seem a logical response. slightly higher from where we are. thank you so much, jerome schneider of pimco is staying with us. coming up, our exclusive

theresa may says of her deal the u.k. will be forced to extend their membership for over a year. the e.u.onohoe says has no intent to trap the u.k. and the so-called backstop. what do you think are the actual chances of this deal getting through u.k. parliament next week? mr. donohoe: that would only become clearer as prime minister may decides -- when she decides to hold a further vote. what is important to us and the european union is that if we get into a decision whether a further extension is needed, that we are clear what that is for. the availability of that does not tighten the economic risk -- heighten the economic risk we are looking at avoiding. francine: have you spoken to the

dup going forward? mr. donohoe: they are engage laying intense -- engaging and michel barnier and the european commission are most interested. francine: do you think relations are improving? you must be briefed about this. we donohoe: precisely what are trying to avoid is becoming collateral damage. of course, we are aware of the levels of contact going on with the dup and the engagement that has taken place with them from the british government. we continue to abide by the principles of respect for understanding the needs and concerns of unionism, but we strongly believe backstop is only an insurance policy, and having that is in the best interest of everyone. .om: you are living this

i find it interesting that you have your own family redline and your wife is british. it must've been something about your citizenship ceremony you had for your wife. give us an idea of how silly a or northis in the sea of dublin? mr. donohoe: what you have highlighted is from an irish perspective, our identities are intertwined with that of the u.k. the reference that you made our references that hundreds of thousands of irish people would have and stretches back many generations in terms of our relationship with the u.k. we are looking to avoid the concept of borders. i believe the future discussions that will take place regarding the new relationship between the u.k. and e.u., that arrangements can be made about how we can

have good trade between the u.k. and e.u. wethat were not to happen, need to have a policy in place to ensure we do not destabilize what everybody on our island and the british government have been able to achieve. tom: what we have seen in the last few weeks to a foreigner like me is extraordinary, and it seems like the serious conversations always end with the worry of scotland and others leaving the united kingdom. do you fear that if london gets this wrong we could see the united kingdom become fewer entities? mr. donohoe: obviously, that is a key concern to the british government, which we understand and respect what prime minister has -- prime minister may has said, that she is willing to preserve the union and she means england, scotland, wales, and northern ireland.

--s is we're we pare back this is where we pare back into the good friday agreement that makes any changes to northern ireland can only happen on the basis of consent, and all governments respect that and .ill root -- abide by that i believe the value of this is fully appreciated by theresa may. francine: is a long extension better than a three month extension? mr. donohoe: that is a decision the british government has to to beand this will have decided on the basis of unanimity within the european union. --this point, it is clear important that we are clear what the extension is for. if -- the island would respond back very generously. francine: the u.k. goes to the e.u. and says, this is the

extension, and the e.u. votes on it. what is the irish perspective? mr. donohoe: you are asking me to give a perspective on a decision that has not been made. the irish government has participants in this process and we have to allow the political process to reach a decision in relation to this. that is the secret. tot i would like to indicate your viewers is that the irish government will look to be helpful and generous in responding back. thecine: what do you think chances of a no deal brexit are? mr. donohoe: i think the no deal scenario is still there. clearly the decision that happened last night where we saw a motion passed in the house of commons with the amendment that ruled out the possibility of no deal in any scenario, is significant.

what you saw in the house of commons with the articulation of a political view, we need to hear them articulate how they will realize that and avoid that happening. i am sure this is something the political -- british government is reflecting on. tom: your thoughts on all that we have seen over the past few months, and who knows what the path is forward in london and onssels, give us an update the reunification of the island of ireland. i understand it is not one year out, but is that part of this calculus five years out or 50 years out? mr. donohoe: from our perspective, the only prism through which we are involved is looking to protect our economic and political interests. have in view we relation to northern ireland is governed by the good friday

agreement. we do not believe it would be appropriate to consider a border poll. we believe it would have significant consequences on our island. we believe our political energy is better used navigating our way through this current phase and looking to what phase two will hold, what is the relationship between the u.k. and european union? thecine: paschal donohoe, finance minister of ireland joining us for an exclusive conversation. let's get to the bloomberg first word news. viviana: the prime minister of new zealand calls it a well-planned terrorist attack. shootings at two mosques left at least 49 people dead and scores wounded. a man in his late 20's was charged with murder and three others were arrested, but it is unclear what their roles work.

the motivation appears to be racial. presidentted states, trump is prepared to issue his first veto. the senate joining the house to block his declaration of a national emergency to pay for a wall at the mexican border. there are not enough votes in the house to override the veto and the senate vote is an embarrassing show of disunity with the president. u.s.-china tensions and pressures on prices in europe. returns falling from 9.2% to 7.2%. global news 24 hours a day on air and @tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. hurtado.ana this is bloomberg. tom: it is time for a reset. you do that at 12:31 of whatever year-- 12/31 of whatever

in with the s&p up 12.30% 2018, let us reset in the bond space. we have to get back to first rinse of all's, liquidity and solvency. what is the difference between liquidity and solvency, and why are people afraid? jerome: liquidity is focused on the short-term needs to have a lifeblood of meeting obligations . solvency is more equity-based and driven. in times of distress, they can be very disconnected. as we sort of get an evolved past in the financial crisis and into a new neutral area, we need to focus on the tolerance for volatility and how that equates to a liquidity in the marketplace -- illiquidity in the marketplace.

it is that investors do not like the price of liquidity, so for us, the price of liquidity is something we need to think about ,n times of stress and normalcy as we rebound out of the disastrous fourth quarter. tom: the disastrous fourth quarter, february of x months ago and the fourth quarter leading into that extraordinary december, was that a liquidity event of a rigged market? jerome: i think it was a rational response to a growing sentiment that the cost of capital is increasing. we had nine rate increases whereby risk assets at not repriced to take into account the higher risk free rate. investors realized with the fed we had thisat ability to focus on the higher rates and ultimately that meant

risk returns should come lower, simply a recalibration of rate expectations higher than risk assets and repriced lower. going forward, the cost of capital going higher is now relatively important to take into account. it will impact volatility and liquidity. investors should be poised to manage that liquidity in terms of risk adjusted returns. they will be gravitating toward lower volatility asset classes, including bonds, and thinking of ways to articulate income within that construct. it is offering a lot lower volatility than one might assume , then the broader marketplace. francine: wendy you think that china or japan will buy less -- when do you think that china or japan will buy less treasuries?

-- some of that has come from the relative stability and rate expectations. we have an overwhelming mark -- amount of supply. we have a trillion dollars of incremental supply in 2019, so the ultimate question for investors and the shape of the yield curve -- who will buy this later into this year and into next year? considering the negative term premiums in the 10 year space and 30 year bonds, it is saying where will it be most attractive? we are not quite there for the foreign investors to come back. francine: would china have a weaponize treasury bank? if there is a risk that goes bad , could they use this as a tool to put pressure on the u.s.? jerome: unlikely, but there is always a fear that that would be

a negative left tail event. we see this continued evolution, not dissimilar to the monetary policy runway that has been extended. a continued partnership is not asy -- always friendly but to get to a mutual common denominator that is beneficial. the runway with regard to this relationship experience -- appears to be extended. francine: jerome schneider from pimco. we have breaking news out of hungary. tom: this speaks to each nation having its own sense of inpulism, mr. or been -- orb has a unique voice and european empire, he calls for free nations, the empire of europe. back tocle may hearken

♪ renewables business was cash positive in 2018, so we had a very strong year. many would say the age of renewables is now, on the back of the ptc cycle in the u.s. we saw a dramatic increase in

demand and we will have double-digit growth in 2019. the rating agencies certainly .ave an eye on ge we are in constant communication with them and we try to communicate as transparently as we do with the equity markets, where we are and where we are headed. i think they have understood what we have done on both sides of the house. tom: lawrence culp of general electric, there will be much more of his conversation with david westin in the next coming hours. an important conversation on ge and industrial america. i want to point out the back-and-forth of the xi and trump, with the secretary of state telling fox they "might meet in mid april or later." this is an immense joy.

as i have said many times on this show, no one links advertising into the technology of social like brian wieser, who was pivotal in some historic and courageous calls on the back-and-forth of social media. said, come over to the dark side, and he has, where he is the global business intelligence president. what is it like to enter the death star of advertising? brian: it is fantastic. i spent a good chunk of my career in the agency world. tom: it is a different world. it is not the world you knew years ago. can advertising recalibrate devon the dominance of google and facebook?

brian: absolutely. no better way to add value than with good intelligence, good planning. clearly gave will spending money on media and use agencies to support that spending. tom: the new facebook with key executives exiting, is the new facebook of facebook advertising likes or is there nostalgia? brian: clearly, facebook is one of the most important advertisers best platforms for advertisers. they have to consider the risks with the rewards. the new facebook, evolving facebook, it will still be an important platform. still expecting pretty solid growth. in terms of advertising business with facebook and the

allocation google, the pressures of other parts of the ad business and the pressure to participate in march madness, how do you fold in facebook with traditional advertising entities? brian: last time i went from wall street to madison avenue was 2009, and advertisers were freaking out about how dependent they were on television and how they needed alternatives. the same is true now. large advertisers do not like being dependent on any small number -- tom: but they are dependent on facebook and google. how do they extricate themselves to a better profitability? brian: from the marketers perspective, they should always be thinking of alternatives for any given media. they should always have that negotiation to an agreement.

media owners also up their game. they have established streaming services and more opportunities. the facebook and googles of the world can always improve their offerings and be part of a broader mix. one of the things about leadership and trying to encourage where we should go, think about adobe and salesforce , think about marketers spending thoseon advertising -- thinking differently will allow them to keep growing and meeting their objectives and control their costs. agencies will find ways to support services whatever the the market thinks best. francine: give me a sense of whether a lot of these big tech companies will be broken up. there is more demand in europe. this is on data privacy and

things like that. in three years, will facebook or google look like it looks now? brian: that is something we have to watch. if you look at the regulatory environment in europe, there is pressure for that happening. from a marketers or advertisers perspective, you can be somewhat indifferent about whether a seller or supplier of inventory is consolidated or not. the chances are good that there will be more regulatory action rather than less, in the future. francine: what does it mean for u.s. regulators? are they just trying to catch up with european ones? brian: it is the case that the europeans are taking the lead. australia and india and other countries around the world -- and to be clear, we are looking at the world of advertising globally because we play in every market.

the u.s. is not leading in a way other markets are. tom: streaming, you mentioned it. is that where we will all be? brian: i cannot tell you the volume of questions i'm getting. tom: what do you think? brian: 15% of consumption is on connected devices using traditional tv sets. there is nothing slowing them down. it is not clear that those businesses could be anywhere near as profitable as traditional services. are you are expert, what the microeconomics of francine and lending choosing seven over-the-top 12 streaming services? appetite forr multiple services versus comcast? brian: i get to put on my old cable analyst pat.

-- pat. -- hat. the increase in consumer spending is about 2% over the last eight years. that is not a lot. when we think about all these new services coming up, you can assume there is some erosion from traditional comcast, spectrum, etc., and there is a few million dollars it frees up. you get maybe 5 billion dollars of annual spending available for new services per year. it is like 25 million subunits across the services and not a whole lot of extra money. there were probably not be a lot of profitable businesses. is a difficult question, but social media platforms are facing harsh scrutiny this morning after a shooter accused of killing

people in new zealand live streamed the murders. how does facebook address the concerns? point clearly, it is a where advertisers have to be concerned about whether or not their association with lot forms present -- platforms presents brand risk. facebook and its own commercial interest, absolutely needs to be doing as much as it can and arguably more with making sure they have a brand safe environment for advertisers. from the consumer perspective, societal perspective, obviously the regulatory is more in europe than the u.s. they are trying to encourage facebook down a certain path and that is what happens. tom: brian wieser, thank you so much. a slow news flow this morning. little newscity, a
