1:02 am
oil minister wants you to focus on. >> the commitment to a nine-month extension of unequivocal, very solid, very strong. not only are we committing rollover, the individual commitments to conformity from all countries word, it is that unequivocal. he is the central banker of oil. that is his commitment, to continuity and certain. the fragility of geopolitics, the frailty of global demand, it is counterbalancing that that is the message they really wanted to convey. they also moved the five-year target. nejra: you could argue the fact that they really wanted to put that certainty in the market shows some concern about the market. is this enough to rebalance the market?
1:03 am
we are already seeing oil come up a little bit. manus: it is of course a concern about demand. when we caught up late in the evening, he talked about the concern of the weakness heading into 2020. the property explosion, aside from the oil market, it is here. i'm standing literally in the epicenter of the redevelopment of vienna and the redevelopment of this institution called opec, making sure we have relationships with our partners in russia. this started out as a six-month courtship between opec and opec plus. it has turned into a three, four year relationship. now the parents want a marriage, saudi arabia and russia. that is what the charter is old there's an existential threat and i will leave you with the
1:04 am
shock headline. nejra: manus cranny in vienna. we will catch up with you again in about 40 minutes. let's take a look at the broader global markets. another day, another record. global equities also hitting their highs for the year. also a little bit higher. the 10 year yield down a basis point. the back up didn't last long. the aussie dollar up by one quarter of a percentage point despite the fact that the rba cut rates for the second time in a row. let's take a look at the euro. -- we some we yesterday saw some weakness yesterday. it is holding onto those losses. we got some signals from policymakers in helsinki that there could be further to come. also taking a hit on the pmi data. pmi data globally not looking strong. below $1400, still
1:05 am
per barrel. oil coming up a little bit as well today because of the attention turning away from the extension toward the concerns around global growth and slowing demand. juliette saly has more on the rba rate decision and a lot more. great to have you with us. juliette: they were saying that yesterday's global rally could be a one hit wonder but a lot of asian stocks still well supported today. .17%.ikkei up 0 you want to take a look at hong kong. the hong kong hang seng playing catch-up, being led by tech players, by 1.3%. the hong kong dollar has been searching, reaching its midpoint level for the first time since september.
1:06 am
a little bit of flat moves on the main chinese index. yesterday, it was up 2.9%. selling coming through in the likes of korean and taiwan chipmakers. they rallied today. only a small pullback. the rba decision, interesting to hear what governor philip lowe has been saying. they have been on these record expansions, cutting interest rate today to 1%. this is the first back-to-back cut we have seen in seven years. the economic growth trend is expected in his cut was really to spur this economic growth, saying the potential samaria -- potential scenario remains reasonable. we have seen the s&p 500 hit its highs on the close on the back of that decision. all focus on governor lowe speaking in darwin later today. reiterating, the rba cutting
1:07 am
rates to a record low of 1%. nejra: thank you. now, the u.s. has added more products from the eu to a list of goods that could be hit from tariffs as part of a long-running subsidy dispute between boeing and airbus. u.s. stock futures fell after the announcement but they have since pared losses. joining us is senior currency strategist at cba europe. we saw the rally and risk assets, and today we are seeing a different picture as markets digest that this trade truce doesn't mean there is no uncertainty ahead. in this environment, what is your take on where global growth goes from here? and number of manufacturing gauges yesterday showing week across -- showing weakness across the globe.
1:08 am
>> the risk to global growth is still skewed to the downside. there are still structural impediments to a long-lasting breakthrough in the u.s.-china trade negotiation. this means any trade deal in the foreseeable future is probably still low in likelihood. last year, we also have a trade truce and 90 days later, a further escalation in trade tensions. the market is cautious. the risk is still skewed to the downside. pmi's have now shifted further deeper into contraction territory. this will continue to keep the currency market quite volatile. this, we still expect the u.s. to trade on the defensive largely because of the
1:09 am
significant pricing of rate cuts by the fed. nejra: what we saw yesterday was even though we had that trade truce, the pricing didn't really change in the bond market. does that mean that you see a little bit of a near-term bump in the dollar? how much downside beyond that based on a fed cutting cycle? take the euro as the anti-dollar trade, we expected to close 12.20 in the next few months. we believe the fed will cut rates by more than what the market is expecting the ecb to do. you look at the euro from a valuation perspective, the euro is cheaper, 10% to 15%. it suggests underlying demand for the euro is positive. these are some of the reasons we expect the u.s. dollar beyond the short-term period of ken.ngth we can -- to wea
1:10 am
nejra: currency traders have building short dollar positions. do you expect dollars strength against emerging-market currencies as well? elias: one thing it is important to remember, the risk of global growth is skewed to the downside but we are still constructive on the global growth outlook. monetary policy is still quite loose. that is supportive for growth. most central banks are now in the process of adding more stimulus. the ecb being more cautious, the fed about to cut interest rates. most central banks have cut from a dovish bias. monetary policy is the most stimulative since 2009. all this, despite the threat of nastier trade tensions between
1:11 am
the u.s. and china, accommodative fiscal and monetary policy will continue to be supportive over the global growth backdrop. we expect the u.s. dollar to trade on the offensive starting the third quarter of this year. nejra: i wonder how bullish you are on oil. the bump was short-lived. weaker today as there are concerns around the demand-side mounting-- demand-side with trade tensions elias: the rolling over of the production cuts will be supportive of crude oil prices. you still have the downside risks that will contain a significant cyclical upswing in crude oil prices. expect those to remain around current range. this is why we are quite positive on the canadian dollar,
1:12 am
especially relative to these other commodities like the australian dollar, not just because of relative commodity price trends, but also because of trance between canada and even australia or new zealand. nejra: let's get the bloomberg first word news. annabelle drew less as that in hong kong. >> australia has cut its key rate for the second straight month. the first back-to-back reduction in seven years. this is their attempt to provide support to a slowing economy. philip lowe has lowered the key rate. china will scrap ownership limits for financial companies when year order -- when year earlier than planned. full foreign ownership of securities firms, life insurance companies will be allowed by
1:13 am
2020. the next round of trade talks between the u.s. and china is underway according to donald trump. it ends the stalemate between the countries. trump saysnt tariffs against mexico are off the table after the country stepped up efforts to stem the flow of migrants to the u.s.. trump said mexico is doing a great job and is having a big impact on migration. global news 24 hours a day on air and at tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. bloomberg. nejra: thank you. hong kong's chief executive carrie lam has condemned violent demonstrations after protesters broke into the legislative council yesterday. this comes after hundreds of riot police fired tear gas to
1:14 am
disperse the crowd. joining us for more is bloomberg's david tweed. some extraordinary pictures there that were played alongside you. update us on the latest today after what we saw yesterday. been a day of clean up after last night. last night around 9:00, the whole thing got out of hand. a strange thing happened because the hong kong police sort of withdrew and allowed the lons offrs to rip the py the side of the street and turn them into weapons, and use them as ramrod's to breakthrough these windows so they could get access to the legislative council where they went inside and trashed the place. the question, why weren't there police behind these windows? they just watched the protesters
1:15 am
slamming these things into the windows. why didn't they come out and take action? we have seen police before do that in this case they stood right back. carrie lam came out. they were dispersed by teargas 12:00bber bullets around after they had been inside the legislative council. around about 12:00, the police came back and that is where the teargas and rubber bullets came out. four hours later, carrie lam holds a press conference where she condemns the violence and tries to really bring back public opinion to the government's side, where she talks a lot about the violence of the protesters, who didn't attack the police, by the way.
1:16 am
they were really attacking the building, although there were some police injured as there were some protesters throwing some sort of corrosive substance at them. nejra: ellis about the comments of eddie -- tell us about the comments of eddie chu as well. he is a pro-democracy lawmaker who came out and spoke to us earlier. he painted a pretty gloomy picture because according to him, we are looking at what could be a turning point in the protests and for hong kong. eddie: in the long run, hong kong has become a police city. the government is not trying to solve problems in political ways, but to arrest and imprison young people david: -- young people. david: there you have eddie chu speaking, painting a bleak
1:17 am
picture of more repression in hong kong. at the feet depressing thought when you think about it. -- that is a pretty depressing thought. he is worried the government will use this as leverage to crack down on the protest and turn public opinion away from the protests which, as i recall, brought 2 million people into the streets just three weeks ago. it is not just the problem of the exhibition bill -- the extradition bill. there are larger concerns, concerns over the democracy that these protesters believe they were promised by china when the british handed back hong kong is a colony to china 22 years ago yesterday. that is actually the reason why there were these demonstrations in the first place. nejra: a historic, historic night. play more to come. when you are traveling to work,

1:21 am
this is bloomberg daybreak europe. let's get the latest business flash. deutsche bank is reportedly discussing with regulators about lowering -- about lowering its capital buffer. this is a way to finance impending restructuring. authorities are reportedly positive about deutsche bank's restructuring plans. woodford's frozen flagship fund are still looking to get their money. the fund is still locked.
1:22 am
morningstar says it could take woodford more than a year to liquidate half the portfolio. >> the suspension was first to protect the interest of investors but secondly to give woodford the time to execute the strategies we've outlined, and other words the shift in the portfolio into more liquid in a way that ensures we don't damage the interest of our investors. your bloomberg business flash. nejra: let's turn to central banks. the rba delivered a second consecutive interest rate cut to a fresh record low of 1%. questions remain around the fed policy. hundred basis points insurance cut by the fed. >> i'm baffled by this notion that an insurance cut is 100 basis points. an insurance cut is not 100
1:23 am
basis points. you don't want to use up all your ammunition now. secondly, if you need to cut 100 basis points, there is something deeply wrong with your economy. from cbaias haddad europe is still with us. we get that cut that was widely expected, including by yourself. but the governor leaving the door open for further easing. elias: it is mostly priced in. there is more expectations of more aggressive cuts by the fed. that is one of the factors that continues to undermine the u.s. dollar. more fundamentally, in australia, you have a balance of payments backdrop that is supportive of the aussie dollar, a current account deficit that is historically small and financed by investments. underlying demand for the aussie dollar is quite firm.
1:24 am
secondly, from a valuation standpoint, the aussie dollar is roughly 10% undervalued. these are important supportive factors here for the australian dollar. nejra: what would you be targeting than? how high would it go based on those factors you talked about? thes: we are expecting australian dollar to trade close -- by yearyears and end. i believe we have the rba cutting interest rates one more time this year, to 0.75. i think the statement post-mee ting signaled there are more rate cuts in the pipeline with the rba suggesting there been little inroads in the diminishing labor market slack. , the naturalates
1:25 am
rate of unemployment be closer to 4.5%. there is still a lot of labor market slack out there that will continue to leave the door open for more rate cuts. nejra: ultimately, you do expect the fed to be one of the biggest doves in terms of easing. i think you are expecting 100 basis points of cuts over the next year. ?hat does it mean for the euro we did hear from policymakers that further stimulus could be on the way because of inflation. elias: market-based measures of inflation expectations are plunging. that is where the risk in our view is the ecb loosening policy further. nejra: that means you expect what?
1:26 am
elias: at this stage, or base case is for the ecb to keep interest rates on hold. . in our view, it will not curtail the upside in the euro. one of the reasons they expect potentially more rate cuts out of the ecb is the leading indicators suggest that they underwhelm the expectations, they still have trade from the trump administration -- trade threats from the trump administration. despite that, the reason we are still bullish on the euro is we expect the fed to cut rates more aggressively. thank you for joining us today. elias haddad, senior currency strategist at cba europe.

1:31 am
president has been elected. >> this gives a bad image of both the council and europe. nobody can be satisfied on what has happened after so many hours of talks. i think this raises extremely deep questions that we will have to address in the long term. our reporter is in russell's. -- in brussels. are we likely to have any more clarity today? president said clearly that the summit was a failure. the reality is that there is no clarity and we are exactly where we were a day ago. impact on this has an the rest of jobs including the european central bank. the heat is very much on angela merkel to see if she can reach a compromise and rescue her own
1:32 am
deal. at this point, what is clear is there has been real pushback from her own political group. they do not understand why angela merkel is about to give up the job in brussels. we have no clarity and we could be in for a long day in brussels. nejra: turning to the ecb presidency, we did see the euro weaken on a number of factors yesterday but one of them was may be the prospect of jens not leading the ecb. can france security ecb present -- secure the ecb presidency? maria: officials do believe they have a way in. the french think they have high-profile women and they do see there is a path to the european central bank. ae issue is, if this comes to

1:36 am
whether we will get a resolution between the u.s. and china. what people should be focusing on is the underlying picture and, for the most part, it is robust. we have seen a bit of a slowdown in places like china and asia but, overall, the fundamentals are solid. what is great, you can really talk about some of the detail below the surface. let's focus on china for a second. in terms of policy support and of course we were just talking about measures of opening up the economy, what kind of stocks in particular do you expect to benefit from chinese policy support? it is a similar picture if we think about what suffered last year. very much the domestic economy in china was oversold last year.
1:37 am
the consumer really suffered as sentiment worsened. that was not too badly positioned especially with the stimulus you have seen push through into the market this year. when we look at medium and longer-term, companies exposed to this millennial phenomenon where you have people under the age of 40 moving into peak income years, they could be positioned to deliver strong income growth and may be insulated from some of the trade dynamics. nejra: do you expect financials to benefit much? there are parts of the financial space. the deleveraging, quite a big burden on the balance sheet for some of the big banks. from our perspective, you have to be very cognizant of government influence in some of those spaces. you want to be a respected minority. you go through that deleveraging

cycle and in some instances, the banks are used to help manage that cycle. nejra: smaller companies or larger companies, do you have a preference for that in china? luke: small and mid-cap names by nature are tending to be more interesting for us as a bottom-up manager. we find they are often the ones focusing on the domestic growth drivers as opposed to some of the legacy stories that did very well. nejra: if we look at the redistribution of the global supply chain, what sort of countries would you be looking at as potential beneficiaries? clearly think there is a dynamic between the short and long-term. in the short-term, we have seen places like brazil benefit from some of the tariffs. we have seen places like mexico benefit from potential
1:39 am
reinvestment. longer-term, we still think india is probably the primary beneficiary. we are seeing this big campaign from the modi government and a push to drive light manufacturing export growth. the bigit with some of tech companies committing to build basis in india. that is probably a country we can see really benefiting if you are seeing some offshore from china. nejra: the reelection of modi for you supports your belief in india as well? luke: yes. we think the market under reacted to the significance of that result. we saw bjp coming with it -- with an even bigger majority. we said it would likely win 220-230 seats. what they won was 303.
1:40 am
you have a clear mandate. on something like labor reform, if they can continue what they have done in the past, that can be eight huge driver for long-term growth. if you look at labor policy coming india, if you apply more than 100 people, you have to go to your state government to get approval to lay off any of those workers. automation, technical goods, as opposed to driven by labor dynamics. mentioned tech in india. i want to ask you about semiconductors. one thing was the delay to the restrictions on huawei. your andmiconductors asia some where would be interested in at this point perhaps based on evaluations? luke: we took positions last year and some of these names. we thought the markets would be overly focused on some of the

near-term trade dynamics. what i would say in the semiconductor space is really understanding what the business does. some of those fourth industrial revolution phenomenon. genericferent to your pc or home computer type capabilities. nejra: i want to ask you about mexico as well on this trade theme. ort is your bet on mexico mexican companies at the moment? luke: we are not really in the game of trying to take a short-term debt. -- short-termbut. bet. the issues with the u.s.. for the most part, mexico still looks fairly robust. the underlying growth picture looks ok. to the extent that you get the new version of rad -- new version of nafta ratified. nejra: great to have you with

1:49 am
using a very important word, unequivocal. i read that as meaning more cuts to come. >> things for having me. i don't think it means that. i think he means this is a commitment to reduce inventory and whatever it takes for them to do it, it means they will over comply. he did say that the second half will be similar to the first half. if required, after nine months, they will continue with a deal. manus: they are already doing the heavy lifting. to the iraqis now need to comply? that is one of the stumbling blocks of yesterday. amrita: yes, that is a big debate. under compliance has been huge from other members. that came up. yesterday, the king of saudi arabia called the prime minister
1:50 am
of iraq to discuss such matters as well. they have been ensured that iraqi compliance will go up in the second half. manus: a note out this morning, unless there are deeper cuts from opec plus, you won't get to the rebalancing that opec plus is trying to achieve. what is your take on that? forta: the deal is only nine months. the point of moving the inventory goal post, this was a specific target. manus: this is a five-year average. amrita: which gives us about 250 million barrels of excess inventory to run down. 100 million of that is crude. it could be more than nine months. venezuela, whod not producing much right now, they are already doing more than the 1.2 million barrels per day.
1:51 am
manus: can he economically commit to continuing to do that heavy lifting? look at the gdp numbers from saudi arabia and the oil industry. amrita: i think, right now, the only thing he is focused on in saudi arabia is revenue. if they continue to believe that cutting more will get them the price upside, if they believe that, they will continue doing that. revenue matters a lot given gdp. manus: let's go back to the area that i know the team has been writing about. what is the most important thing to him? price and revenue? amrita: yes. market share, he believes shale growth is going down. producedrs ago, they 8.5 million barrels for the saudi's, now they are 10-ish. they haven't really lost market share, have they?

i know you don't make calls on the oil price. however, you do invest in companies that are exposed oil in emerging markets. in the second quarter, the energy sector was one of the best-performing. how would that influence how you invest for the rest of the year based on how you see oil going? luke: it is just -- it doesn't affect how we trade for the rest of the year based on us being very long-term in focus. concern would be the sector, where, as a minority shareholder, you are not the beneficiary of the share price. we have seen reforms in places like russia where you see dividends being increased. that should be for longer-term investors. they will still use those companies to manage through the economic cycles. we are slightly more cautious on em.

indirect beneficiaries in places like russia, looking at the stories that focus -- that benefit from growth, oil prices. nejra: that is very interesting. let's talk about your biggest conviction call for the medium to long term. we don't have much time left. bullish are still very on companies exposed to the millennial phenomenon it 86% -- phenomenon. 86% of them live in em. anything focused on digitalization is attuned to that. greater value on is like likeiences -- on things experiences. nejra: coming up, the final flourish. deutsche bank ceo adds the finishing touches to a turnaround plan as the troubled german lender discusses lowering its capital buffer with
