francine: the euro rises after the ecb's stimulus package. the qe controversy. governor central bank tells us that the action was possibly a mistake and that christine lagarde can change. and the white house is considering an interim china trade agreement to delay the tariffs. ♪ francine: this is "bloomberg surevillance." good afternoon, i'm francine lacqua in london. we are seeing a little bit of a lift to the target -- market.
4:01 am
gaining onope 600 is the back of a dovish ecb. but if you look at market reaction, it was taken positively and then they had a bit of a wobble. 1.190 and the german bond took the brunt of the swing as mario draghi was talking. , more from our exclusive interview with the austrian central bank governor. he was talking about the ecb and some of the non-consensus out there. that's coming up shortly, but first, let's get straight to bloomberg news. >> we begin with details on the proposed interim trade deal. u.s. officials discussed a limited agreement that would delay and roll back some u.s. tariffs. this is an exchange for
4:02 am
commitments on intellectual property and agricultural purchases. president trump says he is open but prefers a lasting arrangement. >> i would rather get the whole deal done. we have taken in billions of dollars of tariffs. i would rather get the entire chinese done. and we are going to do a deal, let's get it done. >> in focus last night in the democratic debate, the relationship with china. joe biden invokes the legacy of barack obama as he challenged the left-leaning policies of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. he said that if washington does not act, beijing will make the rules. >> the problem is not the trade deficit, the problem is they are stealing our intellectual property and violating the wto. dumping steel on us. that is a different issue of agricultural products. in addition, we are in a position where if we do not set the rules but are going to find
4:03 am
ourselves with china setting the rules. >> the chances of a u.s. recession before the election now adds 75%. that is according to jeffrey gundlach. he says the odds have risen based on changes in the yield curve. yields on to your treasuries are exceeding those on ten-year in august he for flipping back this month. -- before flipping back this month. global news, 24 hours a day on air, on tictoc, and on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. francine? francine: thanks so much. mario draghi has delivered his final stimulus package after overcoming an unprecedented result -- revolt from the center. he sounded the alarm over the growth outlook of the euro area. remain tilted to the downside. we still think the probability
4:04 am
of a recession with the euro area is small but it has gone up in view of the weakening economic outlook and the continued prominence of downside risk. governments with fiscal space should act in an effective and timely manner. we have a mandate. we will pursue price stability and we don't target exchange rates. period. , we have this morning is being to one of the dissenters of the stimulus package, the austrian central bank governor. in an exclusive interview, we asked him if he thought the decision to ease was a policy mistake. very intensive but also constructive discussion at the council. everybody listened to the others. which onea discussion tries to take the arguments of the others seriously.
4:05 am
it was a push back, but it was a constructive one in which one tries to come up with a common solution. >> what was the disagreement about? essentially, it was about the question of how effective will a further monetary easing be? is it somethg morewe have started to reach the end or is there still effectiveness? i think this was a major reason why a push that took place. the question of monetary easing moving further into negative territory's, will it have an effect on economic outcomes or are the risks already higher than the benefit that emerges? of furtherevel decreasing the deposit rate.
4:06 am
what will be the effect on the market interest rate compared to the alternative of doing nothing? guidance, how much bind theessary to future president or how much should leave her freedom. these things were discussed in an open manner, but these alternative arguments i contributed to did not prevail. >> would you say members of the council left thinking they had made a policy mistake? >> i'm sure the idea across the bind of some. it deftly crossed my mind -- the mind of some. it definitely crossed my mind. but as things change, policy may change. not tomorrow, but i would not think it is there for the next decade. >> and when you look at the and when you look at the
4:07 am
market reaction, the market seems to think we are headed to qe infinity and the fact that christine lagarde will join will not make any difference. has she been locked into a dovish tone or is there room to reverse some of the policy? >> this is a hope, not knowledge, i hope we are not locked in. i hope there is room to discuss in the future. my take is that she comes from a different environment and has a different way of acting. i don't think she is a weak person who will say i'm not allowed to do anything. francine: that was the austrian central bank governor robert holtzmann joining us. joining us now is hans redeker. you were moved on the back of what mario draghi was saying and then corrected. -- how do the markets take what was said yesterday? the differences when we
4:08 am
did see other easing conditions announced, this time, we are getting into a tiered system. we were arguing yesterday morning that when you introduce a two-tier system, you are acknowledging the limitations of your current policy toolbox. thisher words, and you see commentary, where is the reversal rate? where is the interest rate level? we are living in an environment where people are thinking in terms of building up a pension. when you see that your savings are not providing you with yields, you may have to save more. at that point, you have the reversal rate kicking in, especially for aging societies.
4:09 am
then you have to think aboutand. you basically have to say, ok, i will cut interest rates. impactfulhowever less because i need to protect the banks. francine: the question is, the markets did they under react to what mario draghi was saying? hans: no. i do not think they under reacted. when you analyze monetary policy , you have to think about the impact. when you are looking at is the exchange rate. you may be looking at bonds. but when you look into the equity market come at you get a different impression. we should never forget there have been moments where the central bank was introducing more stimulus and increasing the size of the balance sheet when that was going into a direction
4:10 am
that meant credit easing. it meant positi news for shares and the euro. instancelook at, for the euro rally we have seen, that came because spreads came down. that came down because of credit easing. but it wanted to bring in an additional topic to the debate. that is the two-tier deposit rate which means you have more money being placed with an ecb deposits which comes at low cost compared to placing within the interbank market. you have negative yields on your deposits. so what you do with the system is take money away from the interbank market and liquidity is what makes the exchange rate. therefore, it was not a surprise whatsoever to see the euro going up.
4:11 am
you have to take the euro into account. asking what is interbank liquidity. it is riding the exchange rate. in yesterday's news was a two-tiered deposit rate. saying there will be less interbank liquidity as you put more money in the ecb and so the euro goes up under those circumstances. the other point i would like to make is that the debate he has provoked here. it is going into the direction of fiscal policy. citing examples saying others have been more successful than us, the difference is coordinated fiscal policy. francine: he has been saying that for a while, we will see if finally countries understand what christine lagarde can do. hans redeker stays with us. still to come, we will talk brexit and the pay economy with the chancellor of the exchequer.
4:14 am
4:15 am
itsis, they made unconstitutional to take debt levels to the lower levels and they have therefore established the blacks zero. balancedo keep things or have a slight surplus. but the environment in which you as thei would describe environment where germany is grating far too many savings and does not have domestic opportunities. so you oversupply capital but you have no opportunity. when you get as a result is that bond yields are falling. so it is a problem in your pension, but you need to break that. the political infighting in germany right now is to spend more. how ugly will it get? hans: the debate has started and it's typical german, you have started to defend themselves. you have seen it overnight,
4:16 am
saying to stay where they are, we are committed to this policy of taking debt levels lower. but there is a deeper political debate, not necessarily within the current government parties, but in many opposition parties which is talking about green investment which is willing to take more fiscal risk and stimulus. now, the question is what is going to happen with the next election? so as soon as you get the green party getting involved, the fiscal situation of germany is going to change. point number two i would like to make is that it is not just about fiscal spending. it is about fiscal integration, it is about the banking union. that is what we have to learn. francine: our question of the day, go on to mliv. suffering help and
4:17 am
-- end the ero suffering? hans: i think it was euro positive. you need to look at interbank liquidity relative to where the money is part. liquidity isk going to become tighter and that is creating a euro reaction. that, people may have ideas about where fiscal policy is going to be. we have to a policy mix taking place where you take down the significance of monetary policy and the significance of fiscal policy. and i repeat, fiscal integration , we need to get further on the banking union. francine: thanks so much. hans redeker staying with us. coming up, trump says he is open to an interim agreement. could the u.s. and china find a compromise? more on that next, this is
4:21 am
4:22 am
it has been broken because it works for giant multinational corporations and not much for anyone else. >> i agree that this trade war is hurting american families. >> when i first got into this race i'm are president trump stopped and said he would like to see me make a deal with xi jinping. i would like to see him make a deal with xi jinping. is it just me, or was that supposed to happen in april? francine: that was the democratic presidential candidates hitting out about the trade war. sticking with trade, u.s. officials have discussed offering china a trade deal. the interim agreement would delay and rollback tariffs in exchange for chinese commitments on intellectual property and agricultural purchases. president trump said he would be open to it but would prefer a lasting agreement. >> it's something people talk about. i would rather get the whole deal done.
4:23 am
we have taken in many, many billions of dollars of tariffs. i would rather get the entire chinese deal done. if were going to do a deal, let's get it done. francine: hans redeker is still here. given the slowdown and the concerns of a recession. jeffrey gundlach says there is a 75% chance of a recession. is that contingent on having or not having a trade deal? i think the trade development is super important for the global outlook. they ares well as materializing so there is a slowdown coming for manufacturing from the supply side. you have being interrupted. the strata as situation is not entirely settled, as long as you have uncertainty difficult to get cap x back on track.
4:24 am
but what the current debate will deal a about the mini type of short-term compromise, it could mean that if they are planning to restructure, it may delay the restructuring so that they wait and continue to employ. you have tight labor market conditions and that is going to provide some wind into the sales of the economy -- sails of the economy. we also think the trade talk seems to 50 -- follow the cycle. activity, the equity market going down, you have a reaction to that. francine: it shortens the cycle. so the recession is earlier than it would be. hans: yes, the recession comes
4:25 am
earlier. but what i wanted to say that of have an iteration economic activity responding because you are offering a compromise to win a little bit of breathing space. improvement. as soon as the improvement comes, he returned to the original position. francine: cap monetary policy placate that? monetary policy placate that? does it have the tools to keep the economy on its feet? hans: i have been expressing that as well. i am very critical of monetary policy. there is one exception to that, in the united states. here, it is monetary policy which matters. the reason we have seen a divergence taking place and global profitability declining.
4:26 am
courts in brazil, for instance, offering less of a return. at the same time, funding costs have been going up. meant that led many dollar-funded entities to a restructuring and deleveraging process that contributed to economic weakness, meaning the dollar was too expensive for many. francine: thanks so much. coming up later, we will be speaking to the u.k. chancellor of the exchequer. we will talk to him about brexit and trade. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:30 am
austria says there was possibly a mistake. >> it crossed my mind. my take is things have changed and policy may change not tomorrow or after tomorrow but i wouldn't think now but for the next case. francine: a deal before the deal. the white house is considering difference to delay the tariffs. i'm francine. emery: i want to start with the european bank, the biggest gainer. the banking sector up 1.5% and comes after the e.c.b. unleashed new stimulus yesterday. also to the upside today, auto parts and autos in general are
4:31 am
doing well. it's up more than 3% and could be on trade optimism. faurecia gets half its revenue from the u.s. and china. and i.m.i. runs over 2.5%. risks to earnings are seen over the short term. francine: let's get to new york and the news with viviana. victoria: viviana: there may be chinese commitments ton intellectual property and purchases. president donald trump would be open to it but prefers a lasting arrangement. president trump: it's something people talk about. i'd rather get the whole deal done. we've taken in many billions of tariffs, i'd rather get the entire chinese done.
4:32 am
if we're doing the deal, let's get it done. viviana: warnings have been declared for the bahamas that was just battered by hurricane dorian. different models have it moving to florida or the gulf of mexico. after record setting numbers, europe hoping to become the first carbon neutral continent. over the next two days, officials are meeting to flush out the plan. ursula says protecting the environment is the task, a moral, human obligation. global news 24 hours a day, on air and on tiktok, powered by more than 2,700 journalists. francine: 60's the leading candidates challenging president trump for presidency
4:33 am
next year debate everything from health care to criminal justice reform. this was the first time frontrunners joe biden and elizabeth warren and bernie sanders all shared the stage on the same night. listen to the highlights on one of the big topics, health care. mr. biden: i share with obama all eight years. bernie: you have to defend the fact that today not only do we have 87 million people unsured or undersured, defend the fact that 500,000 americans are going bankrupt. elizabeth: let's be clear about health care and let's actually start where the vice president did. we all owe a huge debt to president obama who fundamentally transformed health care in america and committed this country to health care for every human being. >> what you support and i support, vice president biden is you declare them to opt in and i would not require them to opt in and they automatically would be enrolled and wouldn't have to buy in and that's the
4:34 am
big difference. barack obama's division was not to leave 10 million people uncovered but wanted everyone covered, my plan would do that and yours would not. joe: they do not have to buy in. joe: you just said that two minutes ago. you said two minutes ago they would have to buy in. joe: they can't afford it. are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago? i can't believe you said two minutes ago you said they had to buy in and now you're saying they don't have to buy in. you're forgetting that. francine: joining us now on the debate is our senior writer. morgan stanley is still with us. thanks for sticking around, hans. what we were expecting is we would see joe biden fighting which we kind of didn't really get. >> we didn't and it was a surprise how they didn't take each other on. there was a little back and
4:35 am
forth on their health care plans but she really dodged the bullet and kind of stayed above the fray. she embraced this obama legacy in a similar way to joe biden. she knows she needs to play to that base. the really remark annual thing -- remarkable thing is biden got through without major gaffes and there were rambling moments which we know biden is like and not surprising and a bit reassuring for the supporters of biden he held his own and came out a little more combative and he was the sort of target of a lot of firing because he is the frontrunner but i think he came out of the nightstanding tall. francine: will he still be frontrunner, what is the race looking like now? stephanie: it really is boiling down to a race with biden and either warren or sanders. there are other moderate candidates in the race that could replace biden in the case of a major gaffe or misstep but
4:36 am
i don't see that happening in the near future. we're still months out, so anything can happen. it's still up for grabs but i expect the field will narrow and will have to to qualify for the next democratic debates and the candidates are pulling at and 2%, amy clobe char castro will struggle to make that debate. francine: take a listen to the former federal congressman, o'rourke. >> we'll take your ak-47 and not allow it to be used against any other americans anymore. francine: he had more standout moments. stephanie: gun control is not a major dividing line and it shows how much the democratic party shifted on this issue, that they're talking about what would have been a few years ago
4:37 am
radical plans, licensing requirements, taking away assault weapons, buying back guns, you know, i think everyone -- i think there is more consensus within the democratic party on that issue than on, say, health care, medicare for all where the real dividing lines fall. francine: thanks so much. stephanie baker, our senior writer. hans, you look at everything going on with the political side stephanie follows day in and day out. is there a market implication or is it too soon? hans: i think we have to see who is going to become the presidential candidate as far as the democrats. we have to watch what the program is off that democratic candidate, especially on the economy. it is going to be middle of the spectrum program or a left leaning program, a possibility of one or the other candidate
4:38 am
for the democratic party is more on the left-hand side but that actually means when that is clear, we see then how we are getting into the election campaign, then i think it is becoming effective. there's a moment it's not impacting moments whatsoever but what is currently affecting the markets is the popularity rate of the president where the president's popularity rate goes down, it seems the president is asking for compromise in respect to china and other issues. that's the effect for risk. francine: let's see whether we should look a it the other way, whether markets are affecting the race, if you look at polling, but hard to tell, as long as the economy stand and we don't go to recession, is president trump a two-term president? stephanie: obviously and why we've seen him strike this deal with china because the main headwinds facing the u.s. economy is the trade war and he needs a strong u.s. economy going into 2020. i don't think that necessarily
4:39 am
means we're guaranteed victory if we're still at strong economic growth but will face pushback because of all these other issues the voters dislike, the chaos, the disruption, the foreign policy, you know, have yourism he's engaged in does make it harder for the democrats to win in the face of a strong economy but have plenty of other things to attack him on. francine: thank you very much. stephanie baker, senior writer and back to hans and others saying there is a 75% recession. coming up we'll speak to the u.k. chancellor at 11:00 a.m. u.k. time and talk about brexit and trade. also coming up, help from an unsuspected source. could huang ari take them out of on the 31st and talking about a victory.
4:42 am
francine: this is "bloomberg surveillance." we're continuing to watch the trade concern and what happens with the u.s. and china. we had understood there could be some kind of interim deal. this is the bloomberg scoop between the two nations. now the editor of the global times, this is party politics or at least we sometimes take it from china. we also understand that soybeans and pork are to be exempted for this additional tariff. for the moment, i guess there's a little bit of a market reaction, maybe a touch, these futures are gaining more than
4:43 am
they were five minutes ago than after the latest headline suggesting there's a little bit more easing of tensions between the two nations. now let's get straight to the bloomberg business flash in new york city, here's viviana hurtado. viviana: u.s. chipmakers urged president trump to ease sales to huawei. they encouraged prompt action for sales that don't implicate national security concerns. trump had promised to loosen restrippingses on the huawei licenses after meeting with ping in june. the company which help protect and distribute content, price shares above an already increased target and now valued at $4.4 billion. uber sold a bumper number of junk bonds and offering as a public company and the drive share company raised $1.2
4:44 am
billion compared to sales of 50 million and help uber fund its expand of a plan to the footprint. billionaire carl icahn is headed to the sunshine state. the 83-year-old will move to avoid new york's higher taxes and join fellow wall street migrants like pepper and paul in the state, 1-7 with no personal income tax. francine? francine: thanks so much. officials are worrying boris johnson could persuade johnson to veto a brexit delay and could help the prime minister out of his bind and create the risk of a no design brexit. parliament will try to stop him to allow london to crash in the e.u. our executive editor. a simple but hard question, is what we know about boris
4:45 am
johnson actually wanting a deal or a no deal exit? >> it's hard to be inside boris johnson's brain. it's hard and depends on who you talk to. there's been mood music around the possibility of a deal. > the d.e.p. softening the red line and a island only arrangement might unlock a teal and possibly a reaction to the markets. as well the question about hungary is very if interesting. there's been a story with this brexit president and when you think one option is off the table it comes back again. and when no deal is legislated against by the parliament in comes victor to say europe can veto this so the possibility of no deal comes back. but it might mean a deal coming through parliament but a bit more likely and we're seeing a positive reaction to that. all the noise aside, we still
4:46 am
have no idea. and all the options revoke article 50, no deal, or a deal is still on the table. francine: i'm trying to find a one month charge for sterling. is the market too complacent about it because it seems we have discounted the possibility of a no deal and the pound strengthens at reports we possibly could seek some kind of agreement on the backstop? >> what we're seeing in the market the past week, sterling up the past week, one of the best performing currencies but is the assessment of probability. you have to think where is the probability westerning no deal, a particular harsh out come but the start of the week and often we have a adjustment in between. what we've seen is a minor adjustment in the profitability but you have a situation the market was looking for a downside and you're looking at volatility and the u.s. saying
4:47 am
you looked as well which is a volume taret shot. that is a pretty good chart. a few days ago we had people talking about that volatilityy and that is like volatilityy markie making that statement. and you get a little bit of a shift in the probability and all of a sudden that volatility is collapsing. now why an additional sector playing here, you need to look at volatility from a perspective of modern liquidity and when you have other examples around and where liquidity is there and means it's very difficult for volatility to stay high and therefore you get this reaction. francine: david, in terms of the time line the next two
4:48 am
weeks, for the moment parliament is suspended and we have the supreme court decision next week. is that the most significant thing we're expecting? >> that's the big thing is this ruling and of course the government coming out strongly we think it will go our way. the scottish governments, what do they do if they lose, does government get recalled next week? we don't know the answers. we're in completely unchartered territory. stepping back from that decision, you think what johnson is making, it does fall into his campaign tragedy about it's the will of the people versus the establishment. in some ways it may be helping him in his mess toig the general public, look, i'm getting brexit done regardless what the government and policy say. francine: if they agree to a
4:49 am
extension, what does the report acting hungry if he asks for a extension. is that lawful? feels not great. >> absolutely within the rules of the game. victor can say hungary, you're not going to support us. he's not alone. a lot of countries had enough over his endless wrangling. the french said we don't want to top doing the extensions. but some of those pictures have a reaction and if we force it through the hungarians or the french, will they pull the plug on the process and up conflict what would be a big economic blow to some of the other members of the european union and that's the question. francine: will we see more volatility as we get to the supreme court ruling and the e.u. meeting october 17 and 18? hans: next tuesday will be a big risk event with the supreme court ruling. but besides that, i think we
4:50 am
have to think about valuation of the currency and we have to to k of the upside relative the downside in materialing and maybe 115 is a possibility but when things are going well you think 145-150. and that is against u.s. dollar so that means you have symmetry in the marketplace and means more people on the long-term horizon. let's say you're a real estate guy and have been so far operating in hong kong and you're saying maybe now should i diverse? we have seen headlines a couple weeks ago, $4.6 billion coming our way in the u.k. property market. those guys are long-term and have to change it into sterling. it doesn't make a difference you change to 123 or 120
4:51 am
because they think yeah, sheep exchange rate and relatively sheep assets. francine: finish off? francine: that's what i wanted to say. maybe an underlying bias in the market for sterling purchases to come through and so attractive to be here. phillip: thanks so much. francine: we're getting breaking news out of italy, the italian finance police have arrested nine people in the probe of the collapse of the bridge last year. they're still conducting seizures and searches related to the probe. we did understand, of course, they were looking into it. it's almost one year and three weeks since 43 people were killed on the bridge gaster. it was interesting to see reports mid august showing some parts of the bridge had not been maintained for 25 years.
4:52 am
4:55 am
francine: the equities are having their moment in the sun chief value stocks registered their best run since 2002 or this quick reshuffling or prolonged change? with more is dani. >> the crowded momentum trade is finally broken. it's this basket here and include as lot of safety bond proxy stocks that have been popular for yields as low as they were. this is what happened over the past week, momentum. investors flee out of it losing more than 7% year to date. meanwhile what gets attention is value, gaining more than 5% it continues to gain today and
4:56 am
these are cheaper unloved stocks really have been overlooked so far this year it. can this rotation continue? to answer that you have to look at the drivers behind this. to a larger extent what has driven the resurgence of value is bond fields coming up from as low as we've seen them. you see u.s. 10-year yields in blue and value in white, not a surprise a lot of banks live in this index. what happens over the past week when value reboundses with yield, momentum, the most popular stocks crash and quite the reversal of the mean and heard a lot of calls and could continue if yields do what they do. francine: thank you so much, dani.
5:00 am
stimulus package. the q.e. controversy, austria's central bank governor tells us drug actions possibly were a mistake and christine le guard can change tech. a deal before the deal. the white house is considering a interim trade agreement to delay the tariffs. good morning, everyone. good afternoon if you're watching from asia. this is "bloomberg surveillance." francine lacqua in london and tom keene in london. a lot will be spoken over draghi's word and found it underwhelming and the word reversed mid conference. tom: i like what you say mid news conference. yesterday story showing the division mad aim le uard inherits in november. francine: let's get to the bloomberg news with viviana.
5:01 am
viviana: president donald trump said the u.s. would consider a interim trade deal with china but he'd rather have a permanent one. bloomberg has learned administration officials might offer a limited agreement with china and would roll back tariffs for the first time. in exchange, china would make commitments on intellectual property and farm product purchases. last night 10 democratic presidential candidates squared off for another debate. frontrunner joe biden taking his share of shots but for the most part rivals went easy on him and candidates attacked president trump's policy on trade towards china. >> the problem isn't trade deficit but they're stealing our intellectual property and they're dumping steel on us. that's a different issue than whether or not they're dumping agricultural products on us. in addition to that, we're in a position where if we don't set the rules we in fact will find ourself with china setting the rules.
5:02 am
viviana: a much-anticipated clash between biden and warren, it didn't happen. bank of japan officials see a need to keep a lower limit on government bond yields and bloomberg learned some of them don't think yields should fall below .3%. japan's central bank wants a target level around zero, part after pledge to stimulate the economy. and billionaire investor carl icahn leaving new york for florida to avoid higher taxes. we've learned he is moving his home and business. florida is one of seven states without a personal income tax. new york's top rate, by the way, is almost 9%. global news 24 hours a day on air and tic-tock on twitter and power bid more than 2,700 journalists and analyst in more than 120 countries. tom: great you had that icahn story. this is a huge deal for those of you worldwide in connecticut and the tristate region, a huge deal the number of people considering moving to florida.
5:03 am
let's consider a data check now, equities bonds, currencies and commodities, after the tumultuous, nice and quiet. the dow over 27,200 and futures with a further steepness in the curve and it's a little bit but i'll take it. euro-dollar. next screen please as well with the exemptions headline coming out here certainly will not hurt the markets. euro-yen i'm watching carefully and we've seen stronger euro about an hour off of the press conference. the dow there's a level with a higher level now. francine? francine: tom, i'm looking at markets actually ticking higher. we have more news from the china news agency and add the farm products to the tariffs exemption and also was tweeted out by the global times editor. i think a lot of the market uptake happened 15, 20 minutes ago and that rst was reported
5:04 am
so we're seeing for the moment a little easing of tensions between the two countries. i don't know whether that holds but for the moment is actually having a little bit of impact at the margins on markets. overall look out for bonds extending their retreat and look at euro extending the rally with government bonds retreating in the wake of european central bank moving to support growth, tom. tom: let me show the euro path. this was extraordinary and were in radio during that extraordinary press conference. here's the moment we get a stronger euro and then the euro just gets clobbered along with the idea it was mario draghi to the rescue. francine, i thought it remarkable in the afternoon to see this move up here over the bloomberg news article indicating the dissent within the e.c.b. is absolutely a historic day for central banking yesterday.
5:05 am
francine: certainly was. i have a chart that tries to track exactly what happened since early 2018. this is after jeffrey said the best signal of a recession is not the yield curve but an inversion of curing and going away. it's something to keep an eye on and actually something we're tending to see certain yield curves. this is the u.s., the 210 and 30 and 10-year and five-year inversion. you can see whether we read too much into that and need to be careful but certainly an interesting, interesting conversation. on to. c.b. mario draghi delivering his stimulus package after overcoming a revolt from some measures. the e.c.b. president sounded the alarm in the outlook growth. >> there is the outlook that remains tilted to the down side. we still think the probability of a recession for the euro
5:06 am
area is small but it's gone up in view of the weakening economic outlook and continued prominence of downside risk. government with fiscal space should act in an effective and timely manner. we have a mandate. we pursue priceability and we don't target exchange rates. period. francine: joining us now, the chief economist and peter dixon from global equities commerce. thanks for joining us. he mario draghi conference was underwhelming or could have had more fire power with the intent the e.c.b. did but was it the assent that put his credibility, i don't know but made the markets underwhelmed a little bit. >> it explained the appreciation of the euro of a the press conference ended. personally i have very little
5:07 am
sympathy for the dissenters. the reason i say that is it you're a central bank governor and uncomfortable with the decision you speak to your domestic treasury who has not delivered the fiscal stimulus and means mario draghi and when he's succeeded by le guard won't have to explaining the stimulus. the domestic dynamics between central banks and treasuries is something we need to look at rather than pick up the subtleys whether the e.c.b. would divide us. francine: put in a simple manner. does it mean we'll get fiscal spending or what needs to happen for germany to start pending? simon: there are needs to increase the spending capacity and god knows they have the room to do it. what to spend the money on? the german government would say
5:08 am
a big splurge. you look at infrastructure, and governments across europe have more to do on making chair economies more resilient to making themselves to climate change. it's a slow process in order to get the german government to change its mind but the reaction to the monetary easing i think is generating a backlash across large parts of the industrialized world to negative rates might be the trig they're forces the government to do something. tom: maybe the commerce bank will publish this today, tomorrow or in the last day. and there have been companies that tried to figure out how many bonds are out there and how long affinity is and the answer is affinity looks shorter than anybody thinks. do you have any kind of handle on when the e.c.b. runs out of stuff to buy? >> yep.
5:09 am
we would say with regard to germany at the current pace of purchasing you'll run out of space probably the end of q-1 next year as regard to the euro zone as a whole on the urent mandate. we can't go beyond next year. there's a limit to q.e. and will be raise may in the first half of the fourth year raise it to 34% instead of 33%. tom: how restrained is christine le guard when she takes over in november? simon: this is part of the discussion, the austrian bank did a fascinating interview with bloomberg this morning which indicated there were a number of governing council members who were concerned she and they would be pinned in and making it state dependent rather than time dependent in
5:10 am
their forward guidance and is a concern from a respectability standpoint but i look at it from the other standpoint which it made the inflation target more credible at least the equitable than tiing it to a time scale. francine if mario draghi didn't succeed, what can madame le guard do differently? i'mon: certainly her background in the i.m.f. and french government she will have more traction and is optimistic. but the thing to look at is whether the german manufacturing data -- the german manufacturing section is in session. does it start to pull over? the tolerance of a budgetary
5:11 am
against the backdrop would be challenged and if it happens in the fourth quarter we may see a fiscal loosening on policy. francine: thank you. up next we hear from the u.k. chancellor, sajid javid and ask him about brexit and the trade relationship with the e.u. and meeting maria from the in hill sinky. this is bloomberg.
5:13 am
5:14 am
i want to show how the sausage gets made at bloomberg. bring up the screen. it's a little hard to see but you get the idea of what happens at 11:53 a.m. down here, these are color coded by me, is the first headline and correa, france and the histonian governors as well and bloomberg economics puts out its story after 11:53 a.m. francine, the bombshell story yesterday after draghi and this is two or three hours after draghi. forget about the happy talk, the massive dissent we saw. francine: the massive dissent and the fact we found out about it. i imagine people keep it closer to their chest. bloomberg spoke exclusively to one of draghi's hawkish colleagues, the austrian central bank governor and asked whether the president made a policy mistake.
5:15 am
>> the question how effective will further monetary easing in this various area be? is it something we start to reach the end or is there still effectiveness in it? i think this was a major reason why a pushback took place to question whether quantitative easing moving further into negative territories will have an effect on the economic outcomes or are the risks already higher than the benefit that emerges or at the level of decreasing further, the deposit rate, what will be the effect on the market interest rate compared to the alternative of doing nothing or on forward guidance, how much is necessary now for the future president coming in and how much one should leave her freedom there. these things were discussed in
5:16 am
the n manner but arguments as contributed did not prevail. >> would you say some of the members left thinking maybe we made a policy mistake today, we shouldn't have done this? robert: i'm sure this idea crossed the mind of some people and did cross my mind but my take is himself with change there is forward guidance and policy may change not tomorrow or not after tomorrow but i wouldn't think now but is there for the next case. tom: an extraordinary interview with austria watching the hundred year piece as well. also listening to peter dixon and simon. in the debris of yesterday, draghi went after the esteemed academic from deutsche bank and has been on this show and other
5:17 am
locations has been scathing about negative rates. is the negative rate theory forever damaged -- or has the negative rate experiment now after months and quarters and ears of reality? peter: it has diminishing marks of return the further you go into negative interest rates. actually, it's not just the private sector thinks that, you see a series of e.c.b. stock paces and suggests while there is stimulus of impact there's a diminishing impact the further you go in negative interest rates, forward easing, forward guidance buys you time. it's an expensive way of buying time but provides a window for some of the changes the e.c.b. government wants to see from governments and whether they squander the time or use it will determine whether the
5:18 am
detracting is a failure or a success? tom: do you change your view on the equity markets after the ballet we've seen on fixed economics the last 24 hours? simon: i think we spoke about this on radio a couple days ago and continue to give a slightly cautious view when it comes to equities. but i think i'm less cautious now for the simple reason we're in an environment where the central government is saying interest rates will remain negative for a awful lot of time to come. the diffident on stocks is looking attractive and would our investors want to set out on these circumstances. i wouldn't want to become a buyer but have become mo optimistic. francine: thank you both, peter and simon. stay with us. we're getting breaking news on the china trade spat yesterday. president trump said he would be open to a interim trade deal

-- versus biden. stephanie, there were no major gaffes and there were rambling moments but he proved he could hold his own in a debate with donald trump and we didn't see this fight with warren which is surprising because she has been the one rising in the polls and they did spar over health care but beyond that you got more attacks from either side of the candidates pulling in single digits trying to take on biden, you know, trying to steal his moderate mantle and it's unclear but didn't look like there were any standout moments to help him do that. tom: steph, let's look at the mug shots, liberal, progressive, whacko, progressive, liberal, liberal, liberal. stephanie, help me, did we reidentify progressive or liberal? do we understand where the left
5:25 am
is? is a search for moderation to beat the president? stephanie: you have candidates like kamla harris try to position herself as more of a mad rit. i'm not sure that really is going -- moderate. i'm not sure that is really going to work. you have beto o'rourke who had been a liberal but came back strong and proposed to buy back assault weapons and you had julian castro make this failed attack on biden, you know, over his age which i think that was his attempt to have a standout moment but a lot of people think that could backfire because it looked a bit nasty. so i think it still is -- i watched this as a fight for the soul of the democratic party by the moderates personified more by biden and the more left wing warren and sanders. either way it goes, trump will

extension. suddenly it is back on the table as a possibility. that is ignoring the fact that mr. johnson says they might ignore the law completely. as always, we are still very uncertain. we have this big supreme court hearing next week. that will be the big focus. that is about the suspension of parliament. another opportunity for mr. johnson to be on the wrong side of the law. francine: if we look at sterling, it improved on media reports from the u.k. that there could be some agreement on the backup. david: this suggestion, and we the been hearing mood music last few days that maybe there is some deal to be had over northern island. suggestione original all the way back in the process. it was rejected by the dup because it breaks up the integrity of the united kingdom.

in the morning. you need a comprehensive approach to trade, which involves the workers of this country, which involves the environmental community, which involves family farmers throughout this country. the debate on trade still very much alive in the democratic party. classoes the chattering matter in all of these debates for the 20 counties you have tattooed to your brain that matter the first tuesday of november 2020? kevin: that is such a great question. it is still incredibly early. if you look in terms of those 20 counties that are driving independent voters across the country, you are right. what is more of a driving factor are the economic data numbers we talked about daily.
6:18 am
when you crunch those numbers even further, who those folks blame has become a polarized issue. i was struck by the performance of elizabeth warren. a disciplined performance. the lower tier candidates, buttigieg, booker, kamala harris, close chart, they have inaccelerate their pace terms of whether or not they can make this a four-way pace. hetro, i'm not sure delivered last night. francine: we were all expecting elizabeth warren to go after joe biden. it did not happen to the extent people were saying it would. why? kevin: first of all, it was a marathon three-hour debate. it is hard to put it into
6:19 am
context the first 20 minutes. those first 20 minutes of the debate was a stark contrast on medicare policy from biden, warren, and sanders. you saw a bit of an exchange. it was interesting to see biden go after sanders and call him a socialist. also really driving home the question of how one elizabeth warren pay for her policy? she is going to be asked the question of whether taxes would increase for the middle class for her proposal. the first 20 minutes, i thought it was a good preview of where this race is headed. tom: thank you. amend, the document to widely expected by wall street. transaction has not gone well. they will be on the nasdaq.
6:20 am
that is a big victory for the nasdaq. they will make changes to their governance. everyone knew that. we work says no member of mr. newman's family will sit on the board. they commit to adding another director within the next year. they are talking about a league independent -- a independent director. maria wasmoments ago, speaking to the chancellor of the exchequer come in here is what he said about brexit. >> we want to have a general election. i hope it comes sooner rather than later. when it comes to that election, the conservative party does not need an alliance with any other party. you asking about the brexit party. we will not be having an alliance with the brexit party or any arrangement at all. >> i want to ask you about that deal. he said many times this is do or
6:21 am
die. when we speak to your counterparts, they would argue we have not seen anything new for weeks. can you still get this deal done? >> negotiations are ongoing. there is a lot of working done on both sides. i am feeling increasingly optimistic. people understand we need to end this. we plan to leave on october 31. we will leave with a deal. now, a no is a deal deal outcome, eventually there will be some kind of deal. it is in everyone's interest that we struck a deal as soon as we can. >> let's talk about that no deal scenario. you have said you need to leave. the prime minister has made it clear this is do or die. what if we get to that point where this is no deal brexit? many would tell you if you look at the law, would it be legal to leave without a deal?
6:22 am
>> we are a country that is proud of always following the law. we are proud of the rule of law. we will be making sure that all laws are followed at all times. at the same time, it is right for us to say you have a policy to leave on october 31 that is what we plan to do. we will have to see what happens when we get to the european council. when the prime minister gets to the council meeting in october, he will not be asking for any kind of extension. he will be hoping to strike a deal wh his partners. that was bloomberg speaking with the chancellor of the exchequer. he was saying the conservatives will not have a packed with the brexit party. let's get back to kathy fisher and meredith sumpter. it is incredible that we are 45

days away from brexit, and we are still questioning whether no and all thehe table ranges of possibilities. >> absolutely. eurasia group came up with an updated base case. our base case is we are heading towards early elections. most likely in november rather than before the october 31 deadline. there is increased speculation to angles is going hard for a deal. probabilitythat low for a deal to two primary reasons, the distance between london and brussels remains too great on the backstop issue for there to be substantial progress ahead of the council meeting.

6:25 am
they recognize interest rates are not magic bullets. changes the way things have been operating, but it does not mean the world comes to an end. that is what everyone is trying to grapple with. how do you invest in a world that is different but still moving on? tom: is this because of the ballet of brexit? >> you are raising a theme that is very broad base. how they are adjusting to change is the question. you are seeing many companies adjusting into significant disruptions in their industries or external factors. francine: how will be eu deal with a possible no deal brexit? >> when we talk to clients about this, we remind them when you look at the impact of no deal

brexit, it is going to be dramatic, but the actual exposure of the eu and the u.s. to that no deal brexit is somewhat more limited than many investors think. areg back to the themes, we in a disrupted world order. this elevation of chaos, much of it coming from developed market economist, that have been the bedrock of stability for global markets, that is going to be the new norm for some time. thoseve to find where negative investments are going to give you returns. francine: thank you so much. we will come back. this is bloomberg. ♪ bloomberg. ♪ here, it all starts with a simple...

6:33 am
we should remember that the national governments have their for structural reforms. of measures on how to deal with the economy in this cycle. >> it was a difficult decision for mario draghi. rates,u look at negative we are actually pricing in another rate cut. how do you make money? whether itsnsider levels are clear or not in this case. we have macro tools to prevent any unintended consequences. if the european central bank uses its mandate to the fullest

which would use our powers at the national level as well. >> mario draghi said it is time for fiscal stimulus. you just met with the german finance minister. are they willing to put that surplus to work? terms,king in general the european union and eurozone, they have fiscal space. it is ok to use it in this cycle of the economy. if we look deeper into the question, we can see that across the european union, across the eurozone, we have very different situations regarding the fiscal space. we cannot say that each country should use that fiscal stimulus because one country can have withems with these growth

that stimulus approach. i think each country should find the way forward. >> we have heard this for many years now. we need to get spending. we are not seeing it. why is that not happening? >> for me to comment on the germanys on behalf of would be just speculation. country,ak about my what we are doing now. we are focusing on structural reforms. we are observing what is being done by the ecb. say that our economy is growing around 4%. of course, we prepare ourselves for lower growth. the main focus is on social

earnings on the market. are we going to price in higher multiples because of what draghi and the rest have wrought? >> if interest rates were the only things that matter, the japanese stock market would have been soaring. lower interest rates are supportive of multiples, but what happens to earnings growth, all these things will matter a great deal more than where interest rates are going. tom: i cannot convey how important that is about japan and the fact that they are not trading out to record highs. francine: we have been talking extensively on this program about europe becoming more like japan. are we underestimating when you look at negative rates the impact this has on society, especially in europe, the changes we will see within france and germany?
