of the first quarter data, the real numbers, the gdp numbers were stronger than expected. you can just about justify the idea that the fed should be thinking about cutting later this year. if you have low rates and simply focus on inflation alone, you will end up in the realms of financial instability. in fact, central banks have increasingly thought about this. what can be worrying is the chances the e-cig nala rate cut and the equity market roars away the chances that there would be a rate cut and the equity market roars away. francine: let me bring you to another market. we are seeing the fed possibly seeing the interest rate.

vests joining the protests. long as iotests as can remember, but this is different. the yellow vests have been calling for a convergence of the fight with the union and the danger of course is whether anarchy radicals join the movement. the police are expecting at least 1500 black bloods to come ,o paris, wearing black masks later in the day. tom: would you assume off of mayday there is momentum and inertia for further protests into the weekend? caroline: clearly, last saturday, we have seen about 25,000 yellow vests across the country, all trying to wait to

come today for mayday. they wanted to save their energy. people outside paris decided to converge in paris to make this mayday historical. askingin paris have been shops and restaurants to barricade themselves. all of the shops and restaurants along the protest march are closed. we are already seeing a few police trying to protect the sites. hopefully, we will avoid violence later today. francine: thank you so much. she joins us from paris. still with us are stephen and peter dixon. with the to the unrest yellow vests movement and the discontent which means they are losing out to populist views. how is europe coping?

stephen: there is a division between globalist and isolationists across europe. communities are communities that have a tendency to support populist, relatively easy answers. macron as an arch globalist who believes strongly in connections with countries around the world, but if you are a french nationalist and think you are protecting yourself, you have a clash. this is not just in france. if you think of the rise of left wing, right wing populist parties across the whole of europe. vox party in spain. something has changed. it is a sense that somehow the centrist political view that i

would adhere to and others would, is not something that has worked for other people, who are looking for alternative views. in the u.k., the conservative ofty has a majority brexiteers that are suspicious of anything europe. the labour party does not want a second referendum because perhaps you could build a socialist utopia behind closed doors. from the left and the right, you have a new conviction that isolationism and nationalism and blaming somebody else for your troubles. francine: re: underestimating the impact this could -- are we underestimating the impact this could have in five years? peter: the protests started because mr. macron wanted to rise -- raise taxes.

he has been forced to back down, as we have seen. the policy is to impose tax giveaways. i suspect that many of these issues facing europe require more cooperation, and something that macron has proposed could run into the sand if the nationalist agenda gets in the way. we are potentially looking at a fragmentation of policy. king, to spin on the word "fragmentation," are central bankers at fault if they are summarizing and using the aggregate in data and theory, or theyciety so fractured have to look at cohorts and subsets in every analysis? stephen: central banks are at fault because they try to do what they can do with their limited tools at their disposal.

that has a countrywide or regionwide effect. you have seen regional disparities and many come trees in europe over the left -- countries in europe. in london, there have been tremendous gains in income in the last 20 years. elsewhere, you have a different experience. the pattern of brexit voting versus remain voting, a lot of the brexiteers came from parts of the u.k. that were left behind and the remain came from urban centers that have flourished. there is a sense that nations themselves are becoming underpinned, unstuck. are seeinguence, you a rival of these populist, isolationist movements. they are thinking about some of the issues that people who have
