athere will be a presser or chaos with jeremy corbyn. all of the parties are on election footing. question of who will tomorrow, so we will hear from the beijing side of things. you mentioned the strikes that call it and how will that student groups have now happen? anna: boris johnson seems to be launched. students toged buoyed by the latest polling boycott school, skip class, and against corbyn. to come to afternoon rallies. that does not mean it would all it seems like at this point, be clean sailing because he will they are not backing down. have the brexit party at his you mentioned the 1000 people heels. jess: we know the polling should who have been arrested. just last weekend alone, guy, we be taken with a pinch of salt as well. saw 160 people arrested. anna: and tony blair -- not and the youngest among them was a 13-year-old boy, who was everyone within the labour party sure an election would be the right call. arrested for possessing weapons in a subway station. tony blair urging jeremy corbyn there is a concern here about not to fall for this but jeremy corbyn always says he is ready the youth, and how they are taking part in the violence and for an election. jess: tony blair wants to have a the clashes that we have seen second referendum. anna: thank you very much. with protesters and police. jess schenkel men with the thenow a sense of calm latest on the policy. government is pushing for. a lot of these alumni groups, from longview economics, chief economic strategist chris the teachers, as well, urging for calm. whatley still with us. guy: we will leave it there, your view on this busy week. thank you for your coverage of
8:00 am
i read one analyst was saying they saw an opportunity for a what is happening in hong kong. around the pound, bloomberg's yvonne man joining us where it is 10:00 in the the rebels were in the ascendancy, you see that is likely? evening in hong kong. the pound is weaker today. beijing is playing down president trump's latest trade chris: it is the most crowded s onescalation after tariff short out there. if you ask anyone there view on roughly $110 million on chinese goods went into effect yesterday. the pound, most say you should sell it because of exit. all of this against the backdrop of slowing global growth for joining us for more on today's ,fter three years of planning market moves, john stop word, head of investec asset surely it is largely the price. sentiment is bearish. the economy is not great but it management of around $150 billion in assets. is not as bad as the european good afternoon. economy. soulswho are the brave john: good afternoon. guy: august saw the biggest treasury rally since 2008. betting on this? chris: they are few and far between. the president is escalating the that is a good place to put money. trade situation. if someone said you have to put hong kong is on a knife edge. brexit is still a story we are money away for three to five years and forget about it, i watching, but the trade narrative seems to be the dominant see. -- the dominancy. assets.t on u.k. do i believe i should be exiting those positions and taking profit?
8:01 am
there is a chance we have a or will september deliver more prime minister in charge to his business friendly and of the same? taxcutting. anna: not jeremy corbyn. john: i think we are in the chris: i cannot see jeremy corbyn winning an election the fragile and unstable environment. people are largely sitting on interesting thing about johnson, their hands. if he puts in brexit candidates you can get big moves still. you look at volatility measures he brings the brexit party on side. like the index of volatility in that side of the discussion has a clean vote. the other side is split liberal the treasury market and that and labor. so he wins. anna: they could work together. looks elevated. i think the scope for a continuation of the kind of chris: unlikely. whoever gets the biggest share extreme news you have seen in bond markets continues. of the vote is the guy who forms if you have data and markets a government. i think johnson is charismatic, he is popular. he is electioneering already. anna: it relies on getting the continue to deteriorate, then as brexit party on side. long as the fed and other central banks are not play ball and do not give into market chris: it does. pressures in the way that the market clearly wants them to, anna: and if he does not deliver the risk is that curves remain inverted and yields could rally brexit, it might be difficult to further. guy: does trade remain the neutralize that threat. actualin light of the central narrative in this? does it remain the central focus? john: i think it is a key focus. it is clearly undermining october 31 threat, or before confidence and manufacturing.
8:02 am
october 31, i think he will get rid of his rebels. it is clearly a weak point in anna: you talk about this three the global economy, and it is to five-year view of betting on perhapslobal affairs or the u.k. economy. i've a chart that shows pmi numbers dropping. the global economy is about to but this is a global story. slip or is slipping into recession. the demise of manufacturing or as long as that continues to be the headwinds manufacturing is facing. chris: manufacturing is a global up, and you saw the extension of tariffs and increase of tariffs story. over the weekend, i think it the u.k. has a whiff of it as will prey on investor and market minds. well. let's say i am a portfolio the reality is our housing data is looking much perkier. last week we had stronger funding data. there are problems in the u.k. manager, first of september, getting back to the office, what does it look like? economy, no two ways about it. what do you see? there are problems and issues. john: i think it is highly there are problems with many economies around the world. my argument is a lot if it is in uncertain, not the time to be a the price. hero. globally we will have a mini we are in times of active race, cycle upswing. probably towards the lowest level of active risk we have run in this entire economic expansion. we can see a decent probability housing looks like it is picking that central banks will extend up, which will help support the the cycle, growth will achieve a economy. anna: chris watling, longview economic chief market strategist with us with analysis. soft landing. up, italy's acting prime maybe we get some resolution of trade and so on.

that is a reason of probability, but on the other hand, you minister is poised to form a new italian government this week session, soe every from an unlikely alliance of political rivals your there is something going on the italian political front. you have binary outcomes and markets. if you have soft landing on we'll preview that for you. recovery, the equity could continue rallying on the bull market extends. if you go into recession, you this is bloomberg. ♪ get a nasty bear market. why take, why be ignorant? why not at the moment just focus on -- guy: what does a safe portfolio look like in this scenario? john: it focuses on steady income generators available, looking to have some equity exposure, i will be not running too much duration because i think the bond market clearly is betting quite heavily now on probability of a recession, probably more than is reasonable. but the equity market actually looks fairly complacent, so we are running relatively low risk overall. we are running some exposure and selective high-quality, decent yield equities, and in high quality corporate bonds. and generally looking at
8:04 am
opportunities rather than trying to make the allocation calls. the s&p was down fairly last month. i can just point to ways of record highs. john: definitely if you look at the equity market, i think it is holding up better. it is pricing in a bigger probability that actually the fed and other central banks will say it will be ok at the end of the day. a lot of that is people are not taking much risk at the moment. typically, equity markets have their big problems where everyone is euphoric. if everyone is a little cautious, unless something dramatic changes, and we have had a lot of noise, but we have not had anything that has changed the debate between is this an ongoing recovery or expansion in bull market or is it the beginning of something worse? nothing was particularly decisive in august. i think the market is able to
8:05 am
maintain this sort of messy range. some catalyst to break out of that. either you need the complacency but witht to be right, the fed easing enough, growth will stabilize and recover, or you need implementation that tells you things are about to get much worse. hole, it is the ecb market with the idea that we will see further rate cuts from the fed, and that will keep the president happy, probably not as much as he would like to be. nevertheless, the president is upping anti-in the trade and the fed is probably going to anna: welcome back. respond. live from london, i'm anna the market'si edwards on this special edition of "bloomberg markets." the stoxx 600 up .5%. right to be as aggressive as it is? john: probably not. the fed is behaving as though everything is just about ok. volumes a little they are in risk management

dubai's economy grew at the slowest pace last year since slowdown, the fact that we see chinese put oil on the list as another factor and that all 2010. elon musk's high-profile visit to china looks like it paid off. speaks to the idea that you think oil has the potential to in the midst of a trade war go lower. between the u.s. and china, the if we can absorb hurricane ceo of tesla one a tax exemption dorian, then you have to argue that it is a supply story that for the carmaker and debated is the worry here. scott: 100% correct. jackthe alibaba founder 100% correct because if you go back on that chart -- and i his boringomoted don't have one in front of me and i can't pull it up because you can't see it -- but we have project. anna: thanks very much. seen $65 oil a barrel a long time. until we get above a certain hurricane dorian hit the bahamas with record strength winds, number in my world, it is all devastating the islands. white noise. we kind of get to that $50 forecasters expect the storm a hug the coast, but landfall in level, yeah, we are not seeing the market react to the things florida is still possible. it would have 15 years to 20 -- hashas already in years ago because of the supply the u.s. has brought on board and with what we have done for oil independence and dominance. already tied as the most powerful storm to hit -- to make so the world is kind of a changed place, and with what we landfall ever. have with the weather, with joining us is jonathan levin, oilolitics, and to see

when he took office in 2015. at this point, they are still global news, 24 hours a day on-air on tictoc and twitter, powered by more than 2700 considering this. journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am naomi koeppel. certainly, in terms of whether this is bloomberg. guy: thank you, naomi. this actually scares the protesters away, they are saying let's get back to the battle for at this point it is just care brexit. tactics. headlines over the last hour, they will try to build this the situation is basically this momentum after what was a -- u.k. lawmakers are opposed to violent weekend. guy: the impression is that the toard brexit and are poised government and the protesters are not getting closer together. force boris johnson to seek a they getting further apart. three-month brexit delay, assuming they have the numbers is that the correct interpretation? yvonne: it is. in the house of commons with parliament returning tomorrow. the pound is hitting session calm, about two weeks of lows on this news. this as bloomberg has learned where we saw people march. now we have not seen any results the u.k. prime minister will treat that vote against this no that have yielded from that. deal brexit and ideas to force that is why we have seen more anger in the streets once again an extension as a vote of no-confidence. if he loses, there will be a after we saw several of those activists who were arrested on dissolution and a general friday. election. that drew a lot of people out johnson's official spokesman over the weekend. said this morning that the prime we have seen more radical, minister does not want an election. aggressive tactics from both let's get a view on that. we are joined by bloomberg
8:28 am
sides. you saw these running battles at opinion's luis rafael. one point between protesters, good afternoon prayed you have been talking about the election tens of thousands of them, with quite some time. is it more likely today than it officers in these subway was asked week or the week stations. a third have been vandalized. before that? we have key votes potentially taking place tomorrow or the next day. if johnson loses, it sounds like officers fired pepper spray inside the trains. some bystanders were caught in he heads for a general election. the middle. >> i think we are at one of barricades were set on fire by these forks in the road with ifexit with two scenarios. demonstrators. the water cannons came out and they were firing tear gas to try parliament passes legislation and to identify protesters. forces him to make an extension, it seems like both sides are i would expect johnson to take digging their heels and this the gamble and go for an early front at the moment, and both election but it is risky because the brexit is pulling at about sides not backing down. 10% to 15%. hard to find a resolution he is not going to want to make despite the fact that the government is urging for calm that election about going for no and the violence to stop. deal brexit. that will alienate a lot of guy: thank. voters who are more moderate and afraid of a no deal brexit. yvonne man reporting from hong kong. he will want to make it about jeremy corbyn. the hong kong playing down the he wants to know up he has no deal brexit in the bag, so i think the balance that johnson would have to strike in going to
8:29 am
the polls is how does he prevent the brexit party from cannibalizing the conservative vote, and at the same time not alienate voters who do not want a no deal brexit? this is all if parliament fails to pass any legislation. i mean, if you went to election and manages to get a majority, say 30 or more than he could do it he wants. if he does not, then we could have a hung parliament, and jeremy corbyn in power with all these new constitutional freedoms we have seen boris johnson exercising, and that would be a disdain indeed. the other prospect is that parliament does not manage to do anything. we go to the suspension and then we come back in october, and johnson tries to get a tweak to the deal and bring it to parliament and says, now decide. my deal or no deal. guy: do you think the rebels have the numbers to force this piece of legislation through this week? it seems incredibly tight. don't even think if
8:30 am
it is just about if they have the numbers. that is just in the house of commons. there could beat filibusters that prevented from getting to the lords on time. once it gets through the lords, it needs the royal assent. that happens at the advice of her majesty's minister. johnson could possibly would on present form advise her not to give assent to that piece of legislation, so we have several hurdles before we actually have a piece of legislation that forces him. he could go to the european union even then and say, i'm going to strike a delay if you grant it. so, you know? [laughter] you could play it out and it is still difficult to see how that legislation happens. guy: which do you fear more, hard brexit or jeremy corbyn government? john: personally, jeremy corbyn government. i think a hard brexit looks ugly in the short run. i think sterling is acting maybe
8:31 am
to some extent as a big of a shock absorber. and i think it is in the interest of the u.k. to work on an arrangement post-that. i think longer-term, we would survive it but jeremy corbyn, i don't know? guy: do you think europe will cave? john: that is definitely boris' strategy. guy: do think it would work? john: i think so. if he can make it so that europe genuinely believes that he will follow through on the threat of a no deal, and that there is no way that there is going to be an extension or a change that could explain that outcome, i cannot see why they were not do some sort of deal. the deal we think is possible or potentially likely is to maintain some sort of alignment mostly on agricultural goods, which is essentially the main trade.
8:32 am
75% i think is the trade that goes through between northern and southern ireland for a limited amount of time. and then remove the backstop otherwise. tweak the withdrawal agreement a little bit and go through on that basis because they will lose everything if we don't have ideal and it is not good economically for us but it is bad news for a week german and french economy and irish economy that is dependent on trade through the u.k. and with the u.k. guy: what do you think of that? therese: i wish i could say the economic rationale was driving brexit, and if we could simply predict, i completely agree it is not in europe or britain or ireland's economic interest is the end deal brexit. i think from the european point of view, the problem is any deal what theyp short of would say is breaking the integrity of the single markets because that would set a precedent that a future prime
8:33 am
met any other country could use. i think the eu would be open to a deal if it could be done in a way that does not or is not seem to be violating the integrity of european singer market. that is the trick -- european single market. that is the trick. never underestimate the power of politicians throughout that desire to find one, but i think it is not simply the economic interest that will drive it at this point. guy: if we were to head towards a general election, what is the path to jeremy corbyn getting in power? therese: i think it is either a hung parliament in which corbyn is able to form a majority with the liberal democrats and agree that there is some kind of a coalition. that would be unlikely, let's say the least, they have been in
8:34 am
a coalition government before. it nearly obliterated the party and they would be reluctant to do that. i think imagining an outright labor majority is difficult, and jeremy corbyn is unpopular among the broader public. i think general election will be more likely to return a hung parliament, but i would not rule out that horse johnson is now i think in the 34% at the polls and could pull it out if he manages to make it about a all ofleadership and the things that john rightly said that frighten people about this particular labor administration. it is like, by the way, tony blair, former labour prime minister was advising corbyn to not go for it, do not approve the idea of a new election. guy: if boris -- so you have a 20-30 seat majority, does he still go to the hard brexit? he is worried about farah's.
8:35 am
he is worried about his one seat majority and all of these things. does he need a hard brexit? does he still need that hard brexit at that point? therese: itherese: suspect what changes as they no longer rely on the democratic party or the irish party that has popped up theresa may's government. these 10 mps are still part of the confidence and supply agreement, and we would probably see johnson very happy with only the backstop, which is what the eu wanted. i think you would start to see a lot of creative solutions around ireland that you cannot see now deal.e of the i think he would go for what we call a hard brexit, but you would have a lot more wiggle room if you had that kind of parliamentary majority. guy: do you think the pound and u.k. assets would rally if johnson won the general election? even by 10 or 20 seats? john: i think one of the things holding down u.k. assets is the level of ongoing uncertainty in
8:36 am
these undermining business decisions. these undermining confidence. there's quite a lot of value pent up there. if we ended up with a hard brexit outcome, i think at least temporarily, the pound would fall, but i think if it resulted in some resolution of this thing hanging over the u.k. personal loan, the pound is already trading at levels which are pretty deep, u.k. assets, too. i think on a one year to two year view, it is likely but i think a lot of u.k. assets would be considerably higher. would a coalition with the s&p resort of allowing another independence vote? -- let's say party we end up with another hung parliament and the labour party is within reach of getting ideal with the s&p up in the scottish
8:37 am
national party and independence party, and the s&p says we want another vote? therese: that is a fascinating question. traditionally had been miles apart. recently, we have now seen them circling each other. if it meant that that is what it took for jeremy corbyn to get to number 10, i don't think there great information said about labour giving that. remember, davis just resigned as the scottish torrey leader and that will really hurt the torrey vote in scotland. she is almost single-handedly responsible for having delivered the conservative votes. guy: and she took a number of votes to the party in westminster. just a final sort of question on all of this. labour does not do well in the election, do think jeremy corbyn is at risk of being forced out?
8:38 am
he is one of the big threats the market is worried about. if you removed jeremy corbyn as leader of the labour party, that would reduce the political risk from a market perspective in the u.k. therese: absolutely. there's no question that the entire backdrop of brexit has been made so much more complicated by the fact you have a labor leader like jeremy corbyn. it is very hard to remove him. and it is astonishing in a way that he has not had a challenge up to now given the poll ratings. if you were to underperform in an election like this, i think then you would start to see a move. we have already seen tom watson and others aching those kinds of signals, but no direct challenge as of yet. afterk that would change the election, if you were to perform badly for labour. we will guy: guy: leave it there. therese raphael of bloomberg opinion, and john, thanks for stopping in. coming, argentina's president
8:39 am
8:41 am
guy: from london, i'm guy johnson. this is bloomberg markets. in a rare sunday intervention, argentina's president imposed capital controls in a blunt policy reversal aimed at containing the country's escalating financial crisis. the announcement came after about $3 billion trained out from currency reserves on thursday and friday. our sao, let's bring in
8:42 am
paulo bureau chief. abouts -- julia, is this containing argentina's economic crisis or about containing mauricio macri's political crisis? julia: kind of hard to separate the two with eight weeks away. electionsed -- with eight weeks away. this started because there was a stunning loss no one saw coming and money started flowing out of argentina. billion,en about $12 so they had to do something to contain the flow of dollars out of the country, which will impact inflation and everything else. it is macri trying to make it to the end of his term but also trying to fix the economic situation argentina, which has become a massive crisis. guy: how are investors reacting? julia: with the u.s. markets closed, the argentina markets, which are not the most liquid, tell.en kind of harder to
8:43 am
the euro bonds are slumping. ony are around 32-33 cents the dollar for the bonds we do see trading, so we will have to see how the dollar bonds react tomorrow. it is likely going to continue to fall. guy: what are people saying in potential of the downside here? julia: the people are a bit -- it has been a lot of confusion and argentina policies over the past week or so. first with the debt re-profiling and then the s&p downgrading for just elected default for a day. the local debt exchange. there has been a lot of question and this is added to it. you have some people mostly saying this will make argentina markets uninvestable. that was what city banks said today. guy: in terms of what happens next, is there any other string that macri can pull, or is this the final big piece of economic
8:44 am
news we will get from argentina? therese: i don't think -- julia: i don't think so. there are two months to go on the elections and there are questions on whether the capital controls he announced, jet much more mild when he took over in 2015, will actually do anything to fix the problem. or if they will just be a temporary fix. we will have to see how things are going on the ground and if this does indeed do enough to stop dollars from flowing out of the country. , yournd if it doesn't assessment will be that it gets worse and he imposes more ru les? there are still plenty of points that investors can exit from at this stage. why do you think he has done that? why do you think he has not gone all in to control the situation? why do you think he has still left investors a way out? julia: so there are a lot of questions and argentina he only has two months left, so with the
8:45 am
debt reprofiling, people are asking, why am i going to make a deal with this government if in two months i will have a new government and i don't know that you administration will follow through with any of this? another big question with argentina is the imf. -- didn't make a comment on yesterday's news and on the debt reprofiling, but there is still money with the imf that argentina technically has to receive. but we don't know if they are going to get that money now. guy: julia, we will leave it there. thank you. julia leite joining us from sao paulo. retailerad, a luxury is feeling the effects of the ongoing protests in hong kong. it is next. this is bloomberg. ♪

base. that is why the retail sales data we got from hong kong overnight or over the weekend will not have been welcome news to investors. if we flip the board, we should be able to see a g chart showing how the retail sales in hong kong fell double-digit's in august and for the second consecutive month. that is the drop into the red. on the bottom, we had visitors from mainland china. they make up some 80% of tourists to hong kong, and you can see they declined for the first time in some 18 months last month. with everything, you did see the market fall, and what is important is jewelry and watch sales come out, falling some 25%. that is important to richemont because unlike its rivals, that is a major part of the revenue. those two categories combined make up some 70% of richemont's revenue. compare that to others, which those only make up 9%. that may be why we see very
