4:42 am

at is the more moderate concern. beenave philip hammond has -- who has been talking down of the prospect of a new deal. what we have to remember is there is a significant minority within the conservative party against a no deal. if johnson comes to parliament with a no deal proposal, those are on the table. a vote of no-confidence, conservative party mps moving toward -- it makes them very vulnerable. institutional constraints that johnson faces or whoever the next prime minister maybe, the with drawled with agreement -- agreement. francine: no deal is government policy. it is going to put parliament in a tricky situation. we are going to have another constitutional crisis.

and if that is the case, then we expect central banks to respond. the only problem is that central banks cannot to lean against the fact that we are going to have fiscal drag in 2020 and other trade war, whether you have a deal or not, are going to continue to weigh on the world wide economy. francine: luke, what is your take on how we should treat the trade war? is it deflationary for the world if what we so so far? luke: so far, it is hard to play a passive prologue for the trade war. if you are going to have a trade war and not have an effect on prices, in the u.s. last year was the best time to do it. it was the best time to see not full pass-through. as you go to the tariffs on the full range of chinese imports, that story may begin to change more, but in regards to central banks, when you look at what

around the world, the boj, ecb, and fed respectively -- have they missed the window to normalize and what does that tell us about the possibility of a recession coming? the: when we talk about concept of opportunistic normalization, what does it probably mean? in means we probably policy now than it should have been, so i think it interesting to throw it away. none of these central banks have sustainably had their inflation targets over a cycle, and some of the remedies and alternative scenarios, it makes you wonder if they would have even been normalizing at all based on last year and the outlooks. tom: dana peterson, part of your charm is that you really look at the citigroup literature. what did citigroup change over the weekend? what was the nuance that caught your attention across all of the citigroup research? dana: [laughter]
6:32 am
it depends on which research you are talking about, but certainly, we have said that we still expect the feds to remain on hold. tom: you are not calling for a rate cut? dana: no, but we think the data has been week. payrolly friday's reports, you had a very weak number, and markets are definitely conflating to the week number with trade wars. it certainly does give the fed a little bit more fuel for the fire for potentially softening language and ultimately perhaps even cutting interest rates this year. tom: luke, you are squirming over there. luke: this is the big thing the bond market is wrestling with. is the data bad enough to kind cuts will be any reactive and prolonged easing cycle, or do we somehow have this beautiful moment where we tens inverted. that suggests to me that the

6:37 am
tariffs? terry: i doubt that very much. what the president has been up to near as i can tell is engaged in a lot of discussions with mexico and what the administration wanted was to formalize and get the closure on a lot of that, so they have. i will take the president at his word that some of this required legislative approval and neither he nor i nor experts in that regard, but he has some. and he has decided to put pressure on the mexican government to make sure this gets done quickly. i expect it will be and i look at this as more of a one-off than anything else, but it is not out of the realm of conceive bility. tom: i read over the weekend that there would be a shift of businesses, and that businesses had enough of ad hoc, is there really going to be a shift that congress has to get involved?
6:38 am
terry: no, i think it does not. i look at this as a snapshot of the moment. what you have in washington is the admits ration doing what they do on tariffs, you have a lot of bipartisan support in congress, and you have a little restiveness going on. being as much as about people in congress and the downtown and the business community not read into the policy as anything else, but i think that is largely a one-off than it anything else. businessistration and is going to focus more on getting the new nafta past than anything else. -- nafta passed. francine: are we going to have more tariffs on europe? terry: i doubt that. i saw some reporting in european papers in english papers over the weekend to that effect -- i
6:39 am
doubt that very much. where the administration has been for almost a year now since the eu-u.s. negotiations started last july was that the president would not entertain auto tariffs as long as there was progress in the negotiations. there have been by all accounts. and ict that to continue, expect that to continue without additional automotive tariffs, and the white house does not have to decide until november at the earliest. francine: terry, how can we be so sure? i do not know if six months ago, the president was tweeting something about south africa -- how can we as market participants figure out what he will go after next? this makes them popular with his base and he wants to be reelected, is that not the premise of anything we talk about? terry: i think it is not the premise with respect. it is certainly a factor, but i do not think it is fundamental.
6:40 am
the administration has always been transparent about what it wants to do on trade, to the point of writing a lot of this stuff down. but where they have been on u.s.-eu for example for the last year, and started with this premise is that as long as negotiations are proceeding well, they would not have to get fs a decision on auto tarif and i look for that to maintain for the foreseeable future. it is not out of the question that the administration decides spur torect that as a get something finished, but i do not look at that as a substantial possibility, no. tom: what happened to the republican senators off the mexican announcement friday, terry? do they regroup, how do they respond to the president's quote "success" unquote? terry: i think they will be pleased with the success and
6:41 am

6:46 am
are we at that point? dana: i do not think the world is ready for a higher inflation target projection. and we are missing those objectives. i think it is important to keep something that everyone can really understand and certainly, monetary policy can continue to work towards achieving those objectives. and certainly when you think about the trade wars, in the short run, that is inflationary come up over the longer run, deflationary. francine: overall, what are we misunderstanding about our economy? there is a productivity puzzle that is going nowhere. not reallys also going anywhere, is it because of a sharing economy, and is it really not time to change the mandate, certainly for the ecb? dana: productivity is one of my least favorite measures and we have two different things going on at the same time. we have seen stronger economic growth, but productivity is weak because the labor market was
6:47 am
recovering over the last 10 years, and now we have reached full employment in the u.s. economy. it is up to gdp growth and certainly last year, the economy was supercharged by fiscal stimulus and we are seeing less of that. i think maybe productivity is not the best measure to focus on, but certainly, you have seen changes in demographics and the way that consumers consume that has affected inflation. those are the elements across many advanced economies. i think those elements are more structural and probably not going to go away at any point. francine: dana, how do you view europe in general? if you look at the structural concerns, a lot of them come from the economies. ecb is think that the certainly running out of tools relative to the fed. the concerns are not just concentrated in europe in terms of the forces that are weighing ecb and
