politics, this is "bloomberg: surveillance." but get straight to the bloomberg business flash in new york city. >> fedex says 2020 will be a quote transition year. it sees and improving outlook for e-commerce and the companies have already made progress with revenue per package over 2% but that is tempered by concerns trade tensions will worsen as china considers adding the courier to a list of unreliable entities. we have been very disappointed over the last few years with the assumptions that we made on the growth in international trade. particularly with the trump administration. francine: micron resumed some shipments to china's huawei. the largest maker of computer memory chips says a subset of products are not subject to the export ban.
4:10 am
sales generate about 13% of micron's annual revenue. it was forced to halt to them after the trump administration added huawei to its blacklist. that is your bloomberg business flash. francine: thank you. jay powell warned about rising threats to the economy. onaking of the council foreign relations, he said the lack of progress in the trade war and economic data are stoking concerns. havee crosscurrents reemerged with progress turning to greater uncertainty and with incoming data raising renewed concerns but the strength of the global economy -- about the strength of the global economy. market seven pricing and 50 basis points, but james bullard spoke about expectations in an exclusive interview. >> 50 basis points would be overdone. i don't think the situation really calls for that. i love my fellow committee members, but by not cutting,
4:11 am
we're putting high probability on the july meeting. slow down tod to something below 2% in the second half of the year. that is not the end of the world. francine: joining us now is the global head of emerging markets at pimco and jane foley, head of fx at rabobank group. thanks for coming in to talk trade, china, and the fed. jane, are pricing in too many interest-rate cuts? jane: you got to keep in mind james bullard is a dove. and his comments that 50 basis points is too much, if you look at the growth data, yes, it has slowed. but it is not at panicking levels yet, but the market has been reacting as though the fed will give us an awful lot of cuts too soon. if we are looking at next year, we are of the view that the u.s. will be in recession. but i don't think that
4:12 am
necessarily requires a 50 basis point interest rate cut. i think 50 basis points might even give off the wrong signals. it might even panic the markets. francine: is the dollar too strong? jane: no, i don't think it is, to be honest. again, the market might be overreacting in selling off the dollar. ofo think it is in some sort easing position, but i don't think we have necessarily see the end of the dollar strength. dependent on is the answer of whether or not you think the fed can save the world from all of the issues we've got. concernsgeopolitical and the issues between the u.s. and china. if you think those will retain, the dollar has more strength. francine: i don't know if the fed it can save the world, but they are giving a bit of a helping hand to emerging markets.
4:13 am
>> that is essentially what we are seeing in the rally so far. a huge discount of the geopolitical risks. and a lot of comfort from the fed put. the question is, to what extent can this really helped em? the dollar has always been a key factor in driving returns in the local space. and we still have a lot of idiosyncratic risks that are not going away anytime soon. a lot of these are going to be exacerbated by geopolitics and trade disruptions. francine: i know it is very country-specific, but a strong dollar also means more defaults on debt. , and whatabout debt are the countries that are actually doing good structural reforms that give hope to investors? lupin: i do worry about defaults in the corporate space rather than sovereign. it takes a lot for a sovereign to default.
4:14 am
but you can see price disruptions on the external credit side. arecountries where we seeing strong structural reforms are very very gradual and piecemeal. so we are seeing movements in places like mexico, movements in places like brazil. quite aa is facing crisis, but they are moving in the right direction, in terms of macro policy. but as i mentioned, all of these risks are very idiosyncratic. the take a long time to implement. -- they take a long time to implement. francine: we could be reading this wrong. could inflation suddenly take hold? we are pricing in the wrong cut. jane: probably not. in terms of inflation in the g10 , generally, we have had some real struggles. at wage inflation, i think inflation is currently at 3.1% year on year. when you think about how tight
4:15 am
labor markets have become, that is not a strong number. and you could apply that argument to australia or be talking about japan. are structural issues across the g10 and try to push of wage inflation and cpi inflation. i don't think we will suddenly get a boost to headline inflation or oil prices. but if we look through that into the underlying inflationary pressures, i do not think they are there. francine: where do you see value in em? lupin: in external credit. there are countries where there -- thatng backstops backstops. value in ukraine and argentina, in spite of the crisis. and i see value in the emerging asian countries like sri lanka and indonesia. francine: one of the things we have been trying to figure out is the supply chain moving away from china as u.s. companies try
4:16 am
to move it away. could the some of the neighboring countries really benefit from it? lupin: i think if we see supplies moving away from china, the first order of impact is going to be negative. this is a negative for global trade. there are going to be some countries that benefit. we are seeing some on shoring -- on-shoring in countries where you would not expect that. one country that would benefit is mexico, but mexico has its own issues with the u.s.. some countries like taiwan or korea may see some on-shoring of investments that had previously been done in china, but now we are seeing that come back home. theerms of overall impact, first order seems negative, but over the long-term, some countries are going to. see marginal benefits. francine: are we going to see more volatility?
4:17 am
see it either being stuck in a range or volatility making it difficult. you were to look in a textbook, the answer would be yes. as we get more uncertainty, volatility tends to go up. but this has been a really topical in the last few months. expectations for further easing. of course, it is not just the fed them it is various others as well. this is like a comfort blanket to investors. however, if the situation with the u.s. and iran were to worsen , yes, is very likely we would get an increase in volatility. ,f the u.s. goes into recession it is likely we would get an increase in volatility. the other question is what happens between the u.s. and china. yes, we are all talking about , but we are in a world that has become a lot more vocal. that is containment.
4:18 am
it is the relationship between the u.s. and china. not just about soybeans are trade tariffs, it is about the u.s. containing china's growth. and if that gets a lot more headway, that is something i think will worry markets and could create volatility. francine: thank you both, jane and lupin both stay with us. coming up, head of this weekend's g20 meeting, bloomberg sources said the u.s. is to delay the next round of chinese tariffs. we bring you all the latest on the negotiations next. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:23 am
from pimcois lupin and jane foley from rebel bank. first -- rabobank. does the outlook change because these leaders are sitting down? lupin: they will probably expect some headlines and will focus on the outcome of these meetings. but we are not pricing in a major event. i think this is not going to be a one and done. what we are looking for is progress in terms of negotiations. we don't see an escalation in terms of tariff expansion. will see some positive headlines in terms of progress towards a further meeting in november. that is what markets are pricing for and why we are still seeing a rally in terms of these trade tensions. francine: this is our question of the day.
4:24 am
i urge everyone to go out and check out our live blog, it's pretty cool. : is it are asking is inevitable the next heard the war will begin at this week's g20? jane: you could say it has already begun. it was quite interesting when we had draghi's speech with a dovish commentary and almost immediately a tweet from trump criticizing that. inevitably come up when you have an environment where central banks are easing and low inflation, the makings are there for a currency war of sorts. clearly, it is in the interest of most central bankers to consider whether to dilute that. commentary from new zealand's central bank officials over the next few months. indicating that they are considering currencies when they are cutting interest rates and the fact that they wanted to get ahead was a function of getting ahead of the rest of the central
4:25 am
banks who could also be cutting. is alreadyrs embedded in the thinking of central banks. they probably will not admit that, but i think it is already there. francine: do you agree? lupin: to a certain extent. but the term currency war really embodies a huge escalation in terms of having exchange rates that really deviate from the fair value. i don't think we are really there. central banks that are easing because of growth concerns or behalf's -- or perhaps see inflation has more tempered resulting in weaker currency government to me, is not depicting a currency war. what i would like to see is for china to have a different policy on the yuan. that to me with signal that things are getting serious on the trade side and cannot be resolved through negotiations. francine: and 20 seconds, under what circumstance would they do this?
4:26 am
that would be getting the bazooka out. the 25%f we get escalation and tariffs to the rest of chinese exports to the u.s.. you might actually see china really rethink that. francine: do you agree? jane: it would be foolhardy to say that is off the cards. jane foley from rebel bank -- rabobank and lupin from pimlico. up next, to u.s. chipmakers say they have resumed sales to a chinese tech giant. that's next, this is bloomberg. ♪ . the latest innovation from xfinity

4:45 am
let me try to figure out what iran,f sanctions with maximum sanctions has worked in the past but this time they are different. >> i think it is different and the reason is the trump administration has not shown a serious commitment to what needs to follow any kind of sanctions, a genuine push for diplomacy. particularly sanctions applied earlier this week targeting the supreme leader, several commanders, and potentially later this week their foreign minister. that put a chill on the idea of opening talks with the u.s. sanctions,hat extra what would the u.s. sanction? , it isal services, banks difficult to see what he would go after. in tone, extra sanctions or do they back away more? >> economically speaking, the
4:46 am
new sanctions are meaningless because the iranian economy is under a huge array, multilayered sanctions regime but politically very significant because the timing and the intention behind the new sanctions put forward by some of donald trump's close advisers was to hobble the chance of diplomacy. it appeared that his and stakes winner brought iran to the diplomatic table, donald trump said he was ready to talk and promised iran could be prosperous again but unfortunately the new action to target senior leadership in iran has made people. whether there is a genuine push for diplomacy and whether donald trump would allow it. francine: what would it take for iran to go and sit down at the table with the u.s.? i think there is a deficit of trust. the iranians have say
4:47 am
consistently is they need to see some movement on the maximum pressure campaign, a little step to roll back the cap thing so they can believe that if they come to the table and allow the u.s. to join the table again, there is a pathway to sanctions relief. importance to release the lessons for iraq, even if you sign a deal with the u.s., the u.s. will struggle to effectively implement sanctions relief and that will be bad on this administration or future democratic administrations with any diplomacy. francine: this turmoil in the middle east, what does it mean for the markets? it flares up at the moment and we ignore it. will that change? jane: to some degree, the asset class we see mostly is fx at the particularly the yen, the one most -- we have seen it gave
4:48 am
ground. with the additional sanctions, you saw the use of the word military in the headlines and immediately it creates investors running to safe havens such as the yen. we have not seen the yen get to significant strong levels, we are at 107 and if we sell 105 that would be a significant shift in investor sentiment. itcould get there but depends on the headlines at what happens in the coming weeks. francine: how do you see this, do we get used to geopolitical concern? is it something we need to live with as investors, or something that goes away and we will get back to a more normal state of affairs in the next four years, five years? lupin: something we will have to
4:49 am
live with in terms of a clear strategic policy tool this administration is willing to use against any of economy that has some kind of tensions. we have seen it in russia and venezuela, mexico, iran. something we will have to live with and without emerging markets, we are looking for the impact on the oil price and the opec negotiations coming in july will be an important indicator for the markets to see what extent the rest of the emerging markets will be affected. francine: what do you think will happen in the next 2-3 weeks? the iranian president says many world leaders told him to ignore donald trump and the enemy pressure will have no impact on the nation. will president trump change tactics? >> the concern iran say they will resolutely push forward on the loosening of commitments on
4:50 am
the nuclear deal which will change the political landscape. it is not immediately clear how long the europeans will continue behalfto work on iran's for a diplomatic solution if iran begins to enrich uranium at a high level that it is permitted under the deal. that would seem to give a green light to some of the more hawkish elements in the trump administration to pursue a military option. at the same time, iran is trying to buy time. in the short-term they have done something's to give them economic resiliency, they -- the real have been stable over the next -- last three months and we are seeing the first shipments of iranian oil to china to have taken place after the donald trump administration revoked the oil wavers. that suggest iran may have been a bit of breathing room. francine: thank you for joining us.

6:32 am
will that be the touch point for a very progressive debate? kevin: yes, i think you will hear about immigration, iran, big tech, big business, and the divide between the democratic party with the socialist wing and the centrist wing. yesterday when i was coming here at of reagan airport, cory booker was in the zone and did not want to talk to virtually every reporter descending upon miami. in terms of what to expect, no opening remarks on either night. the candidates will have 60 seconds to answer the question, 30 seconds for a follow-up, and a minute to give a closing remark. i spoke with sean spicer yesterday. , getn your political cap rid of the ideological, and he said it is all about crafting a moment, crafting a standdown

admiral of pennsylvania the other day, the 25th debate running for president. how do you parse the progressive liberal tone of the democrats versus those in swing districts, swing states, more moderate? howard: i think this business progressivesion -- and liberal is overhyped. inyou look at where we won 2018, most of the seats came from oklahoma and texas and the middle of pennsylvania and kansas, so those are the votes we are going to win. i think the old conservator of dutch conservative liberal dichotomy has been pushed upside down partly by the republicans and the democrats as well. i don't think it is a matter of how progressive you are, but a matter of what you have to say. tom: with the house passing the emergency border act, should
6:38 am
these candidates touch upon immigration aggressively or is it a third rail they don't want to go near? howard: they should touch upon it. those pictures of the guy and his daughter face down dead in the river have a galvanizing effect. that is a picture that shows donald trump's policy at its worst, and you will hear a lot about that. francine: where do the policy issues go to? if you look at 2020, the day of voting, what will people be thinking about in that booth? one,d: three things -- losing their health care to pre-existing conditions. two, they don't like donald trump. the majority of americans think donald trump is not a sound president. three, they will be thinking about the economy, what about the people who voted for trump
6:39 am
whose position has not improved? you cannot eat anger for supper and people will figure that out. francine: the employment is pretty good, the numbers are pretty strong. trump a second term president no matter who runs against him? howard: the biggest problem is the wealth gap. when you have people who made a fortune in housing suggesting a wealth gap, that is extraordinary. it is not suggesting people are suffering and cannot find jobs. the problem is there wages are not going up. i am not saying that because i am left or right, that is a fact, and it drives people crazy because they work as hard as everybody else. why should they be in the bottom 25 to 30%? tom: why are there so many candidates? howard: that is a good question.

6:41 am
emotionally dedicated to getting some 30 -- somebody terrific and they will weigh in with their $20 donations. francine: one of the things i was talking about with stephanie baker, who follows this closely, is how much is the democratic voter looking for someone who they think can beat president trump, versus looking for someone who shares their worldview? , twice it is about 2-1 as many want to vote on beating trump and one third will vote on the basis of who is most like my view. nate silver has done some good work, about twice as many people , the vast majority of democrats want to beat trump. francine: usually polls this far out do not tell us anything this this time ass it far as biden's lead? howard: it may be, but i don't
6:42 am
think the polls this month are any better than they were -- i wish they did, because i was leading at this time in 2003. i wish i could say the polls were incredibly accurate. i came in third in iowa and that was the beginning of the end for me. everything is going to change and you will find out what is going on about a week and a half before iowa. candid. dean, always with his prescription for democrats forward, the former chair of the party known as democrat. leading tonight, warren and tomorrow, biden and sanders. we will have a careful analysis. i spoke with david westin. he is more than enthused to speak of the themes, policies, and politics of the debate. lined up today and tomorrow, it will be more than interesting.
