francine: thank youfrancine:. let's kick off with the latest on tensions in the middle east. president trump has gone back on action against iran hours after approving it. he authorized military strikes after an iranian drone was shot down by armed forces. >> iran made a big mistake. this run was in international waters that we have it all documented scientifically, not just words they made a very bad mistake. francine: let's get the latest from the region. joining us is our correspondent. what has been the latest reaction from iran? the trump administration authorized strikes and then pulled back. how will the president of iran deal with this? >> it is interesting because so
4:05 am
far in official media and most of the new sites, the reaction has been quite muted -- news sites, the reaction has been quite muted. be because there is a sense there could be some kind of tactical leak. the story has been shared a lot on social messaging apps and it fears that add to amidsteady quite high concerns of something happening. but there is also recognition that this does feel like an attempt to try and test iran's reaction. but so far, we have had no direct response at all. francine: how are ordinary iranians feeling? >> they feel as though they are
4:06 am
of sanctions,ycle economic pressure and geopolitical pressure, tension, problems with their neighbors. , i thinkwhat i see they feel as though they can't get out of this trap, the cycle that continues. i think they are being cautious overall. they have experienced the longest land war of the 20th century. to an extent, they are used to conflict, to being a store with countries that are at war with the united states. war with countries that are at war with the nine states. but they are a lot more worried than they would have been a few months ago. francine: thank you. the s&p 500 has closed at an all-time high despite tensions in the middle east. investors have embraced a shift back to stimulus mode.
4:07 am
northern trust is one such money itsger putting more than $1.2 trillion stockpile into equities on the expectation that lower interest rate insure the economy avoids a recession and keeps profit margins high. however, the stock market record has drawn its share of skeptics with some see this as the beginning of the end. joining us is the head of global aggregate fixed income at the income.- fixed asset the market is ignoring this and focusing on central-bank action. does that make you aware he? -- you wary? the fed said they will act appropriately to sustain expansion paired --. would cutlied they aggressively in the short-term to achieve the dark -- directive. the next thing coming up is the
4:08 am
,20, trade, and what that means whether the outlook going forward is getting better or worse than the trend data we are looking at. market -- parts of the market, such as high-yield which perhaps looks more expensive, and there are other parts, investment-grade credit, where as long as you can sustain a low growth and avoid recession i think the central bank pricing power and its investor impact will dominate. francine: if something ugly turns in the middle east am a deal need to protect yourself -- middle east, do you need to protect yourself? ugly such a strikes. obviously, it impacts sentiment, it impacts the stock market and the fed is quite clear they would react to those because it increases the probability of u.s. growth.
4:09 am
so i think you by duration and the place where you by duration is the u.s.. francine: the stimulus is already being priced in and we could see a downturn. myles: they have to be more aggressive. francine: where is the limit? myles: look at europe. people are calling for rate cuts in september. we are talking 10 basis points. envelope andg the .he ecb is seeing analysts francine: is that priced in? the current economy does not necessarily warned that. -- warrant that. myles: long bond yields are near enough to the lows they were in previous cycles. to my mind, if the fed is really
4:10 am
going to act appropriately to sustain the expansion, and if, as they imply, they will be preempted in this, and that is in key thing -- preemptive this, and that is the key thing, they will have to do more than is just priced in. it is more than just calibrating the economic response. it is more about them sending the signal that they are going to do more. that basically sends the cost of capital down. if you were richard clarinex, what kind of message would you get to the markets? -- give to the markets? would you be worried that the market is almost forcing you to do something? think the market has moved very quickly but the fed is a difficult position. if they disappoint the markets, they run the risk of repeating what they saw in december.
4:11 am
financial conditions tighten and you end up with the worst economic outcome. they have got optionality and can't wait for the outcome of the g20. they have got time to wait for the data. want tohe moment, they keep optionality and don't want to create a bigger problem. which is a correction in risk assets just when you might find economic data turning down. clarida, i would try to endorse market pricing. francine: thanks very much. -- amundi quilvest stays with us. up next, we get a view on the situation with iran. and we are also talking about richard clarida. richard clarida at 11:30 a.m. london time. this is bloomberg.

4:16 am
cannot end the deadlock in parliament, then he will have to explore other democratic mechanisms to break the events. if you fails, his job be on the line, and so to will be the jobs and prosperity of millions of .ur fellow citizens francine: so what does this mean for u.k. assets? still with me is our guest myles. markets, what are you waiting for to give an impetus on sterling? myles: we are waiting for mr. boris johnson as prime minister and for him to indicate what he plans to do in terms of brexit. francine: is he a done deal? myles: yes. elected, itnt work would be seen as a more constructive or hawkish brexiteer prime minister. francine: what does boris
4:17 am
johnson do? myles: i think what he does is he becomes a bit more conciliatory and tries to find compromises. i think you could find sterling getting a relief rally. it is unlikely in my mind that it is the lack of leadership that is the cause of the failure of parliament. it is about political gridlock. so whatever deal he comes back with, i think you will have the same problem as theresa may. probably, he knows that and they are thinking about elections. that is what philip hammond was alluding to. some kind of democratic vote to break the deadlock. francine: referendum or general election? myles: my bet would be a general election. it would be a bigger climbdown for someone like boris johnson to put this vote back to people then it would be to say this parliament is holding you back.

we need the people to give me a mandate to lead the country. francine: thanks so much. myles from amundi stays with us. speak to richard clarida, vice chair of the federal reserve. don't miss that interview. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:23 am
you have got this tinderbox because there is active conflict in syria and yemen. and then there is a great power intervention as well. and the seesaw that seems to have happened last night can only add to the sense that there are games to be played. one has to run for the iranian regime is quite split within itself. different factions are looking for signs of what they perceived to be weakness. and that is a temp tension -- temptation that could lead us to the brink. francine: how should the u.k. deal with iran? david: in contrast to the u.s., we have diplomatic representation in terror and -- in tehran. despite the long history of concerns, if you like, not to say paranoia about what britain's role might have been
4:24 am
in the 1953 overthrow of the government. history matters a lot and iran, they think in centuries. putsiplomatic recitation us in a position to be a coolant in the region. to actually be a player role that tries to temper some of the efforts. we are consumed with brexit at the moment, but that is a different topic. francine: president trump warned and of talk was imminent, this was a flash reuters just put out. if you were foreign secretary and how would you deal with it? it seems it is much more difficult for people to come together and talk. is that fair? david: it is easier to talk now, they are all texting each other. francine: are they? david: that is the question. president trump is clearly at odds with some people around him. the people who do the talking around him are openly taking much more hawkish positions. trump, he to present
4:25 am
is saying we need to talk. he does not have any clarity about who he needs to talk to. obviously, the supreme leader is in a different position than the president. the fact that trump wants to talk gives a clue. written should be focusing on the second half of the sentence. he says strikes are imminent, he also says talks are necessary. francine: but because of brexit, the distraction, but also because it is leaving the eu, does the u.k. lose a lot of firepower? does it lose omnipotence it once had? david: omnipotence goes way too far. u.k. is a permanent member of the security council, we should not be under illusions of what a middle sized country can do. played fact that we have this active role in brokering the nuclear deal and continuing
4:26 am
talks about how to sustain it, it does not give us a leverage, but a place at the table. francine: does the u.k. lose clout? david: definitely. no question, when you withdraw from the leading, global, regional power, i have called it an act of political disarmament. the u.k. is weakening itself. the fact that it is consumed by brexit further cash trade's it's capacity. francine: plenty more with our guest, david miliband come international reckons you -- international rescue me president. -- rescue president. up next, there are protests in the civic center of hong kong calling for carrie lam to step down. this is bloomberg. ♪

shooting down the drown but pulls back at the last moment. global stocks truck chew wait as the latest iran developments serve jitters in the market. jeremy hunt is the last man standing in the fight to become britain's next prime minister. now some of our other top stories in hong kong with the controversial extradition bill has been suspended and today thousands of protesters are gathered outside police headquarters. pressure remains when carry stepped down after two weeks of unrest. peter angle who has been covering the protest from the beginning is there for us. they want the resignation of carry lamb. well, they get it. >> unlikely at this point because carrie is steadfast she's going to continue and her current term until 2022. she's even asked the people of
4:31 am
hong kong another chance to earn their trust and do the job they are selected for. those gathered in front of the police head quaffers not only want carrie lam to resign but want more police accountability and want the withdrawal, not just the suspension of this controversial extradition bill but want the complete withdrawal. they've been chanting a number of recent things. most recently they've been chanting about corrupt police and then shame on you. a lot of the ire focusing on the police today because they're not getting the kind of accountability they say is deserved after the june 12 protest that turned a bit violent. right now it seems as though the protesters we've spoken to they're focused on the friday afternoon on government offices, particularly the police headquarters but also at the immigration headquarters, -m revenue and maybe they
4:32 am
are waiting for the temperature to drop a bit and we also could see more people coming out. right now the estimate is several thousand. definitely the students and protesters who are here today are not happen with the answers they've gotten from the government so far. francine: thanks so much. stephen ingle in hong kong. sunday will be three years britain went to the polls on the referendum of membership of the european union. the shock accounts it has brought paralysis to westminister. where do we he go from here? david miliband is here and also is miles bradshaw. david, you're giving a lecture on this, boris johnson, prime minister, what does it mean for the shame and form brexit takes
4:33 am
place. >> boris johnson continues to talk about never, never land, a brexit that tries to put on the table things that have been rejected. we saw overnight mark carney rejecting the central plank of boris johnson's claim and we can use the gap 24 article and it's been made clear that's only for country with a trade agreement. so i think what strikes me about the conservative leadership campaign is it's not getting to grips with the reasons we have. you call it paralysis and i call it frenetic prarls. they're all running around in circles and seems to me we depend on jeremy hunt and bore miss johnson laysing and the real tradeoffs that exist and anyone that pretends we can go through the brexit program without tradeoffs is kidding you. there are only bad options on the table now. the only bad news is brexit is now so different than that that was offered in 2016 it does need to go back to the people
4:34 am
in the name of legitimacy as well as in the name of economic and social order. you know as well as i have britain's leadership has been tarnished and we know investment is on hold across many sectors of the economy and we know we're at the beginning of the process and what i'm trying to emphasis on election day. the difficult bid is negotiating the future with europe and right now we're dealing with our own debts as well as what to do at the irish border. francine: it's impossible to know what the u.k. wants. does the market prefer a second referendum or the markets? david: a second referendum and puts the prospect of remaining in the e.u. back on the table and would be brilliant, whereas the aelection, you could have the labor party doing very well which writes in other different economic issues for the market to deal with. if i may ask david a question
4:35 am
quick, is it politically feasible for a member of the tori party to be honest at the alec trit about the tradeoffs of brexit and to me doesn't seem to be feasible. which electorate? is it feasible for the candidate to be happy with the 160 members who will vote on the future or maybe not? is it essential a new prime minister fesses up the electorate more widely. i think it is essential. ght when teresa may said bad deal is really a bad deal. the unicorns have dominated the past three years and we're nowhere nearer getting that clarity, as well as labor and the tourist side. labor has the own version of unicorns they're chasing. francine: jeremy corbyn's position was not great? david: some would struggle to
4:36 am
define what exactly the position is. i do think we've seen a gapping of confidence in the democratic system here in it continue. david: i spent time opposing a referendum and now in the parliament to decide these things. you can't undo a referendum unless you have another one which can seem paradox cal which might be necessary and all the while the markets and electorates notice it, too. francine: when you coming back to the u.k.? david: i'm here now. i'm running a global humanitarian charity with 13,000 aide workers dealing ith multiplying. and several people we placed with war and prosecution and many are looking to me to focus on the day job and that's what i'm doing. francine: headed to an election
4:37 am
or second referendum. david: i'm skeptical because it's not in the interest of the main parties at the moment. the toris had the warnings from the brexit party. francine: if there was a second referendum, unclear this way it would go even with a had a deal brexit, what would happen to pound. david: if it's a resounding no, it reinforces the no deal brexit as the most likely solution to break the impasse. it can't be the same question but has to be presenting, this is the breast deal and has to be a research definition of what it means. myles: no deal brexit is lunacy. there's no other description for a major country itch meshed in the global economy to pull out of the central linkage and gearbox to the local economy.
4:38 am
the idea we're going to cut it off is lutter lunacy. a lot of people are behind it, right? myles: the fact it's been detonks find shouldn't blind us who know the fact. be fair to michael gove, he spent two years as secretary of state of agriculture beginning to understand what exactly no eal means, tariffs up to 40% for british farmers and president trump says i'll give you a deal straightaway. francine: he has a time line problem? >> not that he doesn't believe inette gooding a better deal for congress. anyone who knows you can't do it straightaway because congress hasn't passed a trade deal in several ages. francine: who is the next labor leader? stephen david: i'm one of the few members of the body who voted
4:39 am
labor at the european elections. so i have to say because the two candidates who are running in the constituency didn't agree with it and why i supported them. there isn't a jake eas there. if there's a general election would form alliance with someone else? stephen: it's very messy. david: anyone who knows what they're doing in politics don't know what they're talking about. francine: politics is messy. when do assets latch on to that? david: risk assets, property, generally trade cheap and two other global markets have the brexit rich premium attached to them. the bond market anltspates much more in terms of hikes the bank of ekland anticipates. we're not pricing in the tail of risk for a no deal brexit

4:45 am
in one sense it was uncomfortable and achieved what they wanted to do and asked them to leave because it was my personal house and i was having a dinner party. francine: kindly asked is different to the footage. were people talking about the incident and the fact it seems like it was pretty heavy-handed the way the protestor was removed. >> it is a big room and i didn't see the footage until this morning and the concentration was on the larger group of people much less in my eye line. so in practice, that's for him to deal with. i thought my staff handled it very well. sadly we had one of my staff injured so at the end of the day i have to look at concern for them. boich when you talk about brexit and crypto currencies, yesterday was an homage to the chance loir, right? it's amazing it is ending this way and what shape or form will brexit take place.
4:46 am
>> what he outlined is realistically as we in the city have always said we want a deal and if that's what we voted for we want a deal. what he went on to outline controversy is the financial services needs to tackle these larger items, whether it's the government committing to climate change or the angles we're taking around green finance. the city doesn't like the uncertainty and we want a deal and clarity to where we're going because it's not helpful. francine: the city of london is the financial heart of london and you can argue of europe, it doesn't seem to be the city of lost government. is that fair? in terms of brexit negotiations. peter: it's been extremely frustrating and there's a huge amount of innovation taking place, whether it's the growth of fintek and the emerging growth industries. francine: will it be the priority of the government to
4:47 am
safeguard and finance, the finance allege services no matter what happens with the brexit. one, we need to involve the current situation with brexit. uncertainty is not helpful. secondly we need a vision of where we're going in terms of the digital strategy. francine: finance? peter: it's a physical part of it. if we look what we're doing with sin tech and fiber, we're leding the bay in green bombs. the u.k. is ranked number one in tackling if climate change and practicing nationalic solution and need to focus energy and resources on that and the government needs to put the policies in place but the city and others need to get behind that and deliver solutions. >> does the city of london survive brexit? him >> the city of london when i
4:48 am
started is not as prominent as centers are today and you're seeing fragmentation and sales people and what have you but i think it probably dm remain standing. for any u.k. government, the city remains an important source of tax revenues and economic activity. it may be less important than brexit but won't be written off by anyone. francine: does the city of london have a favorite candidate to become prime minister because it changes the way they look at financial services? myles: we only have a choice of two so whichever one of them is going to get us a deal or get resolution, then take us forward. so that's going to be up to 160,000 people to vote and i'm not one of them. francine: how many questions you get from banks about brexit or have a lot of them, because of the deadline that passed in the spring, they've already taken their solution? peter: the banks in the city lastly have prepositioned

4:53 am
it was up as much as 3% earlier and erasing those gains and headed for losses of more than 3%. it's seen some outflows in the h-2-0 fund the outpost for june 20th and is sending investors away from the shares. finally, capita doing things for companies, including human resources and hardware and barclays having a note saying the shares are very undervalued. the way the stocks are priced assumes there will be a massive failure from the company but there's upside as much as 50% given how strong the management looks for a turn around, francine. francine: european leaders have abandoned the formal candidates to be the formal e.u. president and will start from scratch before a self-imposed deadline. none of the three frontrunners would see parliament and they

look to find a solution. we have myles bradshaw. i know it's kind of important at the margin but it has implications for the e.c.u. as well because there are a lot of jobs up for grabs in the next six months, what does it mean for markets? even if you have the german heading we'll change the way thinings are seeing. myles: to state the obvious is the market drop they're focused on and if the german get the european commission or the e.u. presidency, probably not the e.c.b. if a german gets the e.c.b., what's the market reaction? it's immediately there will be a low idea of inflation and longer low term deals and makes it less likely they'll gather inprogramation. in practice i don't think you'll suddenly go for a switch at the e.c.b. and is a
4:55 am
institutionalized organization, the executive board and not just the president but the executive board is intent on raising the kids. the chairman of the e.c.b. may do things more creative by the nature of being german and communicating that to the german people bhu there would be the second or third corner down the road and the first corner will be the market testing they do believe inflation is symmetrical around the 2% target. francine: do central banks around the world have the power to change inflation. myles: the first part of the question is yes. the question has to work alongside other policies. and what's more important to market is what groggy said, the e.c.b. is not resigning itself to low inflation and power a would have used if they'd not endorsed that phrase and we are not resigning ourselves to low

unlike social media for which standards and regulations are only now been debated and legislated well after they've been adopted by billions of users, the terms of engagement for innovation like libra must be adopted well in advance of any launch. francine: first, the u.k. phillip hammond and mark carney speaking at the annual mansion house dinner last night. the bank of england releasing a report entitled the future of finance takes a look how the economy is changing and how finance can serve these changes and what it can actually mean for the central bank. the central advisor to governor carney who put this report together is with us for the hour. when you look at the recommendations you put in there and what the b.o.e. has said, are you worried the next governor will unwind some of it?

has supported. huw: apart from yourself, it's a tough job because you're being in charge of monetary stability, monetary policy, financial stability and regulation and you're probably the chief ambassador for the financial system globally. so to have all those attributes in one individual is extremely difficult. one thing i always felt passionate about when we used to talk in the private sector was the importance of understanding the financial system because when rates are this low you need a healthy banking system to transmit credit to the economy so having a keen appreciation for what technology is doing and how is finance changing, could be libra or the chinese, those regulations are important. francine: how big could libra be and could it be a threat? huw: the honest answer is you probably have more questions than answers at this point on the stage. like mark said nicely, we want to be open minded. is it cheaper or better or more

are taking different routes. all of the u.s. registered airlines are doing this, but companies like ba, klm, and qantas have joined in. malaysian air is still really from the shootdown of an aircraft over ukraine years ago, so the airlines are saying, we want to be extra careful. we do not want a disaster. what is this exactly, a precautionary measure because they worry about the safety of the airspace? benedikt: this is very much precautionary and the companies and airlines are saying, we can easily add a couple minutes to a route so long as we remain in safe airspace. for the u.s., at is not a precaution for the u.s., it is an order, so they have to follow
6:14 am
that, but a lot of airlines are following the example. the faa holds a lot of sway and whatever they say, airlines around the world might follow. some have said when monitoring sayings, you will probably over the next few days say more airlines fall into line particularly if tensions reached another boiling point. francine: thank, benedikt kammel. let's get back to central banks as we await our conversation with richard clarida. michael mckee and bill lee are both with us. we had a hint when it came to pmi in the euro zone today that the weak sentiment seems to have peaked. there is a turning point for the pmi figures. what does it mean for the ecb after the powerful speech from mario draghi? pushes: presses -- it
6:15 am
off the idea that they don't have to do anything immediately and they can watch for the data. when you are looking at german industrial production, if that turns around, maybe they don't have to do anything and may be draghi's statement was enough to boost confidence. the same story may be the case in the united states. we will see what happens with the jobs report. if we get better numbers and the trade tension gets lifted, maybe they do not need to do anything. it is an interesting time when you have a call from the leadership of the central banks for action with data pushing against that. francine: how difficult is it to be a central banker today? they need to reassure the market they are ready to act without the market pricing it in because that takes away some of the toolkit. michael: the u.s. central bank
6:16 am
joining the european central bank and having a deal with political leaders with strong opinions about what they should be doing. that puts pressure in our -- pressure on them. mohamed el-erian wrote a book a couple of years ago, "the only game in town," and that seems to be where we are. that barrel seems to be empty and there is no fiscal stimulus coming from european union countries, so the central banks are where everyone turns even if they cannot solve the problem. the ecb in particular is beholden to the interaction between president xi and president trump because europe is so tied to the china trade, and they are such an open trading economy that any hiccup in trade routes will cause major disruptions in the european economy and will prevent them from taking off.

"surveillance," john -- tom joining us from the federal reserve. i am francine lacqua in london. protesters in hong kong gathered outside police headquarters to resume demonstrations. demonstrators are calling on carrie lam to step down after two weeks of social unrest. joining us from hong kong is stephen engle who has been following the protests. well it only take a resignation for the protesters to step down, and if not, how long can these continue? stephen: they say they are going to keep the pressure on until they get their demands. among them is carrie lam to step down, but also accountability from the police they perceived to be disproportionate.
6:22 am
they are heron -- carrying signs like this, don't shoot us. they want accountability from the police. there are more ridiculous claims , president, liberate hong kong. that is unlikely to happen. something that could happen would be a withdrawal of the bill. no indications yet. we had the chief executive suspend debate of the bill. these protesters want a complete withdrawal of the bill. the concern is that over this next legislative session, they could resume it if the protests died down. protesters say they are going to keep the pressure on until they meet their demands. francine: thank you so much. we will have plenty more from stephen engle in hong kong at the protests. criseg us now is cameron
6:23 am

6:24 am
givenk they would probably -- to distance themselves from the political pressure, but in the back of your head, it has got to have some impact. stan fischer said maybe the reason they hiked rates in december was to subconsciously press back again some of the pressure from donald trump. francine: we have not really touched on this. we are talking about inflation expectations and the rest. bill: political production -- political pressure something the fomc has been dealing with. well and chesney martin was removed because he did not do what the president wanted. right now, president trump has returned to the old regime of criticizing the fed. i don't think they will take a
6:25 am
political stance one way or the other. francine: how do you think the fed is looking at these trade concerns? looking at the trade war, does realitye the economically or does it further the scenario of a downtown? -- downturn? cameron: it increases uncertainty, and you have seen that in the data. business sentiment has deteriorated because businesses do not know the regime they will be operating under in terms of tariffs and their chinese supply chain. the irony of everything is if you look at the economic projections in the latest icp from the fed, those downside risks were not evident. if anything, the range of possible outcomes for the economy this year was tightened to the upside. it was a little befuddling. francine: you had a great piece,

6:31 am
this week. we talk about the broader scope and scale of economics, but this time is different. the news flow is extraordinary. thank you so much for joining bloomberg. it is important to be in this room. jewel of 1930's architecture and we are in the special library with all of these books, most of them a first edition from the private collection of adolph miller. three volumes of alan melzer. inany of these books matter the modern economics we have? dr. clarida: i think they do. context is important. history does not repeat, but it rhymes and i am a student history -- student of modern history. tom: as they brought us in from security we looked at where fdr
6:32 am
dedicated the building. wrotean bernanke exclusively about those challenges and they had a challenge of disinflation and deflation. this challenge is different than then. dr. clarida: we are in a world globally of lower inflation in the euro zone and japan, and in the u.s., we are close to our 2% objective. there are some global trends impacting the u.s. and other countries. francine: let's begin with the word "solid." we have a solid economy. what is a solid economy? dr. clarida: the outlook is for sustained economic expansion and that is important. a week from now, this will become the longest expansion in u.s. history. we had strong growth in the first quarter north of 3%. the baseline outlook is good, sustained growth, a strong labor
6:33 am
market, and inflation near objective. tom: why are we speaking of cutting interest rates? dr. clarida: in this environment, there has been ella to touch elevated uncertainty about the outlook. -- elevated uncertainty about the outlook, uncertainty about international trade. there is evidence it is weighing on sentiment, so we will act as appropriate. tom: let's begin with this new uncertaintyainty." is non-policy shocks, focusing on the trade and the president. there are many others shocks, mr. draghi dealing with his shocks and mr. kuroda, and the north -- norwegian bank raising rates. what is the nonpolicy shack -- shock that matters? dr. clarida: we have uncertainty
6:34 am
in the sense that there is geopolitical uncertainty and uncertainty how the global economy navigates. you have negative interest rates in the euro zone and japan. they are well away from where they want to be, and that is a factor. tom: when you ran columbia economics or some would say reinvigorated it their acquisition of talent, there was a demand about a study of economic history. within our economic history, have we ever had an american central bank that is central banker to the world because of negative interest rates and challenges in asia? dr. clarida: that is an interesting question. the fed has played a dominant role in central banking throughout most of my professional career. one is unusual this time is the u.s. is closer to where it wants to be in terms of employment and
6:35 am
inflation than other major economies. because we have a more globalized capital market then we did 40 years ago, that has an impact as well. tom: when i do these interviews, i always bring in the resources of bloomberg. michael mckee asked an important question, and chairman powell gave a graceful answer, it may be dodged the glide path of what you hope to accomplish. cuts,have 1, 2, 3 rate what does that accomplish given your 2% statistic for growth? dr. clarida: let me remind your viewers that we made no adjustment to policy, but did say we were monitoring closely the crosscurrents facing the economy. indicated, there was broad agreement around the table that the case for
6:36 am
providing more accommodation has increased since our may meeting. looking andwill be will be very attuned to the incoming data flow. the important thing about our policy is we have the tools necessary to sustain expansion, a strong labor market, and stable prices. we will deploy those tools to achieve those goals. tom: we welcome you all on bloomberg tv and radio, a conversation with the vice chairman of the fed, richard clarida. he is a student of the history of economics. "lack,"ith the word clarida with the word "solid." what are the degrees of freedom you feel you have given the global events and realities of a solid american economy and yet a need for rate cuts? how stock in this position is
6:37 am
the fed -- stuck in this position is the fed? dr. clarida: i don't think we are stuck. our primary tool is the federal funds rate. we are far away from the zero down, so we have some room if we need to and we will act as appropriate. i don't think we are stuck at all. we have a tool kit and objective assigned to us by congress and we will do our best. tom: this is incredibly important, the idea of being near the zero bound and we have a rate cut -- i will get to the rate cut in july in a minute -- but is it linear if you cut 25 basis points, 50, 75, is it a linear effect on the american economy or is there inertial force, increasing force? dr. clarida: first of all, a lot of our models are linear and as
6:38 am
someone who wrote down models, i am aware of that. the world is not linear and we factor that in. the linear response is the starting point, but in that room we are alert to nonlinearities. tom: market economists are judging draghi and the powell press conference, and now richard clarida. alan ruskin at deutsche bank and others go, july 5 matters. a multi-unemployment report -- moldy unemployment report. what will be the reaction if you get a tepid labor economy? dr. clarida: the labor market has been strong. andou look at payroll gains the unemployment rate, we had a soft print, but we are not looking at any one data point. we get data on gdp toward the end of july, on pce inflation
6:39 am
soon. we get a lot of global data. we are looking at the global manufacturing cycle and the downward estimates to global growth. a lot of factors. we are not a one note central bank. tom: a research note, you made me miss this research note from barclays with the idea of a 50 point rate cut -- 50 basis point rate cut in july. i don't want you to comment on that -- dr. clarida: and i won't. tom: the underlying theme, these whilenges, uncertainties, move from goods producing and manufacturing producing in america and the rest, or a more buoyant service sector? is that a risk? dr. clarida: for the last 50 years, we have seen the economy
6:40 am
become more of a service economy. that is a trend of global development. the u.s. economy is a complex organism and the overall growth rate is important. markets will work to allocate resources and we focus on the overall aggregate picture. it is not the fed's job to look at the service sector versus any other. we are trying to support price stability. tom: you have left a paper trail of act adamic -- academic -- dr. clarida: i have left a paper trail for sure. tom: i like to pick one paper and study it for you. 2007 is aldman brilliant walk-through of inflation shock. did you ever think we would be here where we are looking the other way at dish inflation shock? -- disinflation shock? dr. clarida: that paper was
6:41 am
intten in 2006 and published 2007, and my crystal ball did not indicate almost anything that has happened. that paper argued that in the old world, the way exchange rates would respond to inflation was to weaken. if you have targeting of central banks, that can go the other way , and other papers since then that has held up in the data. tom: this is a historic week for economics, the draghi discussion, the delicacy that chairman powell faced. his credibility of our banking at risk? -- is credibility of our banking at risk? dr. clarida: i don't think so. our mandate is assigned to us by congress in black-and-white. though law says -- the law says we have a goal and we have the
6:42 am
independence to achieve those goals, but we are accountable for our results and for trying to explain what we are doing and why. i don't think our independence is under threat. tom: we say this in honor of martin feldstein, a huge loss. dr. clarida: one of my teachers and mentors. of profound mentor linkage of policy with academics that we have. we are at a moment where we are asking for other people to help central bankers. are we so fiscally constrained that you guys feel alone, given the growth of the debt and deficit? dr. clarida: let me say this. our mandate is monetary policy, so we don't way into fiscal policy. we take fiscal policy into our
6:43 am
outlook and calibrating our appropriate policy response. we are in a world where not just in the u.s., we need to recognize important policy issues that are fiscal policy issues that are not the purview of central banks. to the extent the public feels the central banks are the answer to every concern about the economy is not the correct one. we have a narrow mandate and we focus on that. or: i have no idea the law process of demotion at this great institution. it is in the air in washington. we have a president who speaks his mind, and his modern communication method. how has his building responded to the gossip of a demotion? dr. clarida: we have known each other 20 years. we are just doing our job.
6:44 am
we have a clear and crisp mandate. we have a good staff. we sit around that table across the hall. we have an objective, we have the tools, and a very collegial committee. we reached good decisions. tom: vice-chairman clarida, thank you so much. on tv and radio, back to you. francine: at the federal reserve in washington, d.c., an important conversation with vice-chairman richard clarida. dr. clarida saying they are not looking at a single data point. the labor market seemed strong but they got a soft print recently. that gives an indication of how dr. clarida sees the relaxation of what that means for inflation . finally, the comments about central bank independence, saying they are not under threat
6:45 am
and they are just doing their job. michael mckee is with us. bill, what is your take away? bill: i love the way he dodged the question about inflation. he did say we are consistently below target. we need to backstop the real economy and make sure growth continues. that indicates to me they are willing to go 50 basis points because they recognize they need to build confidence, and that would be the nonlinear fact to backstop the growth of the economy. francine: this is a tom keene kind of question. do they see themselves as central bankers to the world? richard clarida saying there is more uncertainty on how the global economy navigates. are they trying to keep it all together? never say, wewill
6:46 am
are making monetary policy for the world, but the u.s. being the world's largest economy, what the fed does resonates. they are taking global considerations into impacting their policy deliberations. if you look purely at the u.s. domestic situation, clarida admitted growth is solid and inflation is close to target. that does not sound like an environment they central bank contemplating half a basis point interest rate cut. richard clarida also saying the case for providing more accommodation has increased. how quickly can that be reversed? michael: that is an interesting question, because it will depend on data and political developments the fed has no control over, like trade and the g20 meetings and whether the president wants to go ahead with
6:47 am
tariffs on the e.u., the fed has to watch for those -- they have to watch for those things. them a difficult time for and that is why they are sticking to the talking points, trying to make the case that we are on the job without committing to do anything yet. francine: this is an interesting point. we have heard so much about president trump putting pressure on president xi to meet at the g20 and there is a time and place. if this does not happen, does it change the course of the fed? bill: i think the fed will stick to the notion that we are not a single indicator fed. what other indicators besides the labor market? i think his answer would be orders and durable goods, because that is a drag on the economy now. if that metastasized to the service sector, that would be a
