4:00 am
commodities market is responding more to concerns around global trade rather than to the more positive signs. it seems we are pushing equity prices higher. a look at the futures, ftse futures to the downside, the dax of cac futures at the start the trading day. not as many earnings to deal with today as yesterday, but the earnings story is very much at the heart of things, many companies coming through with numbers, and we will get analysis on how significant that is in about half an hour's time. opening up by 4/10 of 1%, euro stoxx a little bit changed. littlesee a bit of movement+ to the upside in the pound. there it is. typically, that put some downward pressure on the ftse. that negative correlation, as we see the ftse 100, with a similar move to the
4:01 am
upside we are seeing and some of the other parts of the continental european market. and with perspective, it seems to be one of those days where the markets are looking on the bright side. he saw that in the asian session and the futures, and the u.s. futures pointing higher. i do say we see some areas of red. we have been focusing on the scandinavian financials and have had some reports this morning, so we will see, but elsewhere, matt, i see a lot of red on the board. on thereat deal of red board. it seems the market just wants to go higher this morning. matt: yes, and we do see a lot of scandinavian movers who have put out earnings today for one reason or another. the big movers to the upside, if you take a look at a number of stocks gaining, 409. the number of stocks losing 159.
4:02 am
this to percentage movers, anna, so we will see a difference. i did this because a couple of the earnings companies are not big market movers but still making a lot of headways, so there is a logistics company, traded in denmark, right now 6% after raising earnings and targets. there is another one that provides armored car services to toks and retailers, loomis, move your money around, also a 4% jump right now. if you take a look at the losers, we have got another danish mover, danske bank, donw. -- down. we were just talking to christian weinberg about the biggest loser, in terms of not only points or percentage but also in terms of points.
4:03 am
it is one of the biggest losers. you have got a lot of banks down, barclays, standard charter, santander, among them. anna: it seems to be an area of weakness in an otherwise upwardly moving market. matt, the equity markets, and the risk appetite, your etn -- european markets open broadly higher. boosted items.mi next up, a jobs report that is likely to be depressed by the gm strike. joining us now is the global head of fixed income research at hsbc. good morning to you. let me ask you. picturet term, a bigger , the jobs data we are expecting tosee, it led many anticipate the worst six months -- well, the worst six months since 2010. are we going to see something similarly week today, do we
4:04 am
think? different,a point is but with the incoming data today, it is a reflection of last year's over tightening. how monetary policy works, so it is a fact now. at the time, it was an opinion, but we are looking back, and they have reversed the hike, so they have cut three times and have been reversing the balance sheet, so that is not really a question of that. now, the incoming data is reflecting that. of more concern to me is the risk of double counting. so if we respond too aggressively to soft debt today, to me, it invalidates the evaluations. it does not necessarily mean we will change our forecast because of one data point, so to me, it is consistent with lower yields for a long time. anna: so you suggest they have already cut rates to deal with the worst, they do not need to do it again. toven: not everyone is going
4:05 am
put their hand up and say, "sorry," but the tightening and exactly the data coming in now reflects what happened last year. anna: ok, match. matt: -- ok, matt. matt: with the over tightening, what were the results of that? we see unemployment at less than 4%. i mean, the lowest level it has been since 1969. i do not know what you are doing a 1969, but i was not doing very much, and we still have no recession. there is still growth in the u.s. economy and positive rates, unlike many of the other developed nations around the world. trying toll, i am work on a forward basis, matt, so if we had been discussing this last year, which i believe we were, when yields were virtually double in the u.s., above 3%, most of your guests would have been arguing for 4%.
4:06 am
to me, that was the tightening. it is a fact because of the hikes of last year. it is no longer an opinion. year's timeata in a will look different, so i am not going to react on the incoming on a monthly basis. weighting they cyclical drivers, the near-term data points, like the data coming in from china, weighting those against the longer-term structural drivers, and to me, the failure of mainstream forecasting has been to underestimate longer-term structural drivers, excess debt, etc.. anna: so where does that leave us in the big conversation, the big picture about how low yields stay for how long? i have got a chart here that talks about -- this is a value -- a chart of negative yielding bonds. everyone is talking about the
4:07 am
extensive negative debt globally, and we still have so much, but not nearly as much as we did. it is a problem for some people, the negative debt, but you have to think of it from both sides of the argument. negative yielding debt with negative interest rates is an outcome, of what went before. it is the price we pay for previous excesses. it sounds about -- a bit harsh, doesn't it? but it is not wrong. an oxymoron to say it is wrong. so to me, the amount of negative debt will go up or down. anna: because you say the markets have functioned perfectly well with the negative yields. we saw that relative value now. steven: exactly. that is my point. everything is relative. fives, germany versus the u.s., and if i talk to my father, he is 80 years
4:08 am
old, and his reference point is zero, so he would not understand, but that is his reference point. i suggest that people who work in big institutions and hedge funds are a bit more sophisticated and presumably understand the valuation. to most of the world, who are not actually rich, if you are a japanese or u.s. investor, they yield more than your local market. i know that may sound a bit complicated, but, again, is a fact. the u.s. rates are so high compared to other markets, which created this opportunity, so to call it rich or wrong seems to be dangerous. if you look five years out, where will the policy rate be? will it be above zero? i doubt it. in which case, those who yield above that cannot be rich. matt: you could also -- you can make money if someone else is willing to pay for it, so if you find a greater fool, you can
4:09 am
pass on that negative debt. doterms of the u.s., steven, you see those rates going lower? i mean, what is were forecast for 10-year treasuries? i am not into the greater fool idea, which reminds me of bitcoin. u.s., our forecast is 1.5. the 10-year, and that is over the next five years. i doubt that in five years' time it will be above 2%, in the same way i doubt we will be above zero. japan has been zero or negative for 20 years, so if i suggested to you that we are five years in in year of and are entering it in the u.s., you have to frame it in the context of what has gone before in japan, and it is
4:10 am
similar. the outlook for this country is compared to japan. matt: but do you expect negative nominal rates in the u.s.? steven: there is enough of a potential balance and response from lower rates to avoid that this time, but who knows for the next cycle? it could well be that we have to go below zero. so for now, i would say no, and it is probably quite a big lobby in the u.s. to fight against it. anna: if anyone watching is in the asset management industry, they are thinking it is temporary, and that is interesting. thank you, steven, with hsbc bank pre-he stays with us. later, bloomberg's jonathan you, is with us -- thank steven, with hsbc. he stays with us. up next, we will bring you the

indexes, the ftse up, as is the so we are the cac, looking at some decent gains here. let's get to the individual stories behind those indexes with dani burger in london. seeing some big losses from donskoy bank -- k, citing higher compliance costs. it is still dealing with the fallout from the money laundering scandal, one of the biggest losers, and one of the biggest gainers are loomis, gaining more than 6%. they also had earnings, net sales beating expectations. now, we are seeing shares trade at a record high, and they also announced a chief compliance officer that is new stepping in today. and down 23%, just about, giving a warning that trading is looking much more difficult than they thought at lookers, and it

curve, and you. say that the curve has a steepening bias. holdingto us what is the low and down for you or what will hold the and down. -- what is holding the low end down four what will hold the low end down. steven: it is very positive force sterling and sterling assets. the front end of the curve, the shorter securities, are very sensitive to the policy rate, and however this turns out, inside the probability of the bank of england pushing rates up, it has been sort of removed, and we were talking about them even cutting rates, so if the valuation does not reflect the chance of a rate cut, then it is cheap, so for us, holding it relative -- holding twos relative to tens, that is good
4:17 am
for us, and it has a very long curve. there is a steepening pressure, more technical, related to these and also bias, and guys who are liability driven investors, and the balance of all of this is that much of it is done already, so these are people who are forced to buy, so if you add that to the fact that the next movements could be down rather than up, the hold curve is tilting toward steepening bias, and we cannot find many other markets with steepening bias. in fact, everything we are looking at is flattening. it seems that it is flattening from the front. the u.k. is a bit of an outlier with the markets. anna: yes. matt: so how could that be changed, given certain outcomes of the brexit situation and the election? are there results you are
4:18 am
looking at that could trip -- change that trade? -- steven: how you weight them with probabilities, and each day, the opinion polls will be shifting up and down, but it looks like on balance, we are going to have a monetary policy that is more accommodative, so, therefore, supporting the funds, and it could be the fiscal policy is brought into play war, whoever wins. now come of course, that might change, given the various opinion polls, but imagine if you had a looser fiscal policy and lower rates. on balance, the two should add up to a steepening of the curve, on balance. anna: ok, major global head of fixed income with hsbc, steven, he stays with us. christine lagarde becomes the new president of the ecb, but how will she cope with the euro

trade deal mean depending on the brexit we get? >> u.s.-u.k. trade deal could still take place after the u.k. negotiates a trade deal with the eu. there's nothing to stop that from happening. we've heard these comments from donald trump, but that is likely to change once we get to that point. tom: is good to have you here on an important economic friday. what is your team say about the linkage out in such a short space? the pulling now does that predict where we will be two weeks out? robin: the one thing we have learned is that the edition electorate has become remarkably volatile in the last four to five years. 40% uncertainty of voting moving to a much more tribal attitude.
5:07 am
not party allegiance, but leave and remain. when you have that level of volatility any polling is highly unpredictable. last time jeremy corbyn was able to haul back 20% polling deficit.this time he is running 10% to 15 percent behind. the labour party has kept a very open line. they say they will renegotiate the deal and put it to a referendum. they haven't actually said whether they would campaign for the deal to negotiate or not. we have the election uncertainty, the uncertainty of jeremy boris johnson or corbyn are prime minister. tom: there is a sense of whatever the word is for progressive, of the moment. what is a liberal mean in the united kingdom as they go to this election? danae: thank you.

independent, neutral, from all sides of the political classes. i would say going into this election it is what happens after. will this election actually solve anything? what do you mean by liberal? i agree it is more about leave and remain and the future relationship with what the eu in the world will be. will the election solve anything or will be in a position where no deal is close to the central scenario again in a years time? negotiating a deal is not going to happen very easily. it is something that will take time to be approved in the u.k. and ratified on the eu side. it will likely be a mixed agreement, and that will take time. liberal is not a word that i would use to describe the political and economic outlook in the u.k. after this election. tom: you're both with us to get

tom: good morning, everyone. "bloomberg surveillance." .t is jobs day it is a full and important jobs
5:12 am
day. it is almost worldwide. it is a global slowdown. let me start with you. does global slowdown just involved, on a global basis, more unemployment? danae: employment has been quite high and most of the advanced world. the issue is not with unemployment. i think the world economic outlook projections we saw from the imf suggest we are closer now to a recession. the question is where will this come from? the jobs data has been fairly strong and political trade tensions have been strong. what happens first? do we see the consumer reacting to the trade tensions or the trade tensions and investment tensions and proof first? what we -- improve first. in europe and the u.s. we are
5:13 am
seeing fairly strong employment conditions and very weak business investments. much onnot focus as unemployment. if we go into a recession we see on the labor side as well. tom: maybe it is not an arab spring, but it is a global spring. there are a lot of protests and populism. i will let you choose the nation. is it labor tension and slow economic growth that gets that going? robin: i think this goes further and deeper. there is a sense of instability and uncertainty since the political leaders are not in control. obviously a slowdown in growth, a sense that job prospects are more uncertain -- especially among younger populations who you see leading protests from chile to hong kong. a sense ofve is ia
5:14 am
uncertainty about the future. governments have lost their capacity to drive change. when you have an american president trump taking on chinese president xi, and each looking after their own interests, it creates a great amount of uncertainty and their political allies, and whatever country it might be, especially europe, and leaves them with an air of uncertainty about how they carry their policies forward. the protests at the moment, the fuse is different in each country, but in general the sins of governments out of kilter is the main dynamic at the moment -- the sense of the governments out of kilter is the main dynamic at the moment. francine: in the data, is it construction, is it something we are looking at? if you look at the fed and you look at trade, what would you be concerned about? danae: it is about business investment and the strength of the american consumer.
5:15 am
also the sense of economic insecurity. we look at the headline data in terms of unemployment, but what quality of unemployment? looking at the participation rate and type of employment we are seeing, and how this is affected by the general economic outlook, and what causes the fed to react to it. francine: if you are the fed how would you worry about the trade war with china? danae: is a question of insurance for the economy. the fed has cut rates to provide that buffer. is its judgment enough for now? in the see a weakening economic data in how the consumer is doing, business investment is changing? that is what would change the fed rather than the trade tensions. having said that, a potential escalation of the trade tensions are likely. you are seeing the chinese side hardening, not just the u.s., because it has been going on for
5:16 am
a while. a deal is less likely to see. from their side they are saying does the u.s. actually want to have fair business with us or not? tom: i will introduce a chart. i will lead with my first question for eyes president clara today. i hear from bloomberg surveillance listeners worldwide , here is goods inflation with a little lift up in the last two years. here is service sector inflation. the number we are living is up here somewhere, and the number that the central banks are living is down here. the pce, the core, whatever you want to call it. house,conomic to chatham but how do central banks react to their theories and inflation guesstimates? they seem to be out of whack with the public. robin: they are out of whack with the public, but they don't have enough space to tell you to cut rates anymore.
5:17 am
there is a question as to whether central banks, if they should play such a critical role in the phase after the financial crisis in providing liquidity into the global economy. really feel it is time for governments to take the tough structural decisions to drive longer-term growth. tough decisions such as investing in infrastructure, energy subsidies, what climate change decisions, what type of employment protections they do or do not provide for the gig economy. we keep turning to central banks to provide the answer. there is an element of resistance, you see it in europe, to central banks playing that role. governments are not taking the tough decisions because they are concerned about the quick backlash that you can get at a popular level turbocharged by social media, turbocharged by four to five years of a loss of confidence in government.

6:13 am
month moving average from the regression from a peak of a year ago. it is irrefutable we are rolling over. did you hear that rollover in the discussion with chairman powell? andrew: what he is reflecting, we definitely slowed down. that is undeniable in the data and your chart. how concerned should you be? are we slowing down because we are hitting supply constraints in the labor market and running out of workers? that would be a good reason to slow down. is there weakening demand in the economy overall? it looks more like the first story, a strong economy running at a pace of 140,000 jobs per month. plusis lower than 200,000 where we were last year but no one expected those numbers to continue. francine: is it really only the ism that could give more

6:15 am
francine: what happens to dollar, given what we were talking about? andrew: it is a very interesting scenario, because you have these scenarios where if we have a weakening in u.s. growth, the dollar will rally because there will be a risk off. if we have a big increase in u.s. growth and a bottoming in terms of the data and it looks like the u.s. is that outperform or, we will have a stronger u.s. dollar. like we were talking about globally, things are may be looking better or not as bad as a couple months ago. extremesay those more scenarios have become increasingly likely where you will get an outperformance from the u.s. or globally a weakening. both of those are stronger dollar scenarios, but we have a weak trend that is persistent. tom: with that said, what is the 12 months for gdp call of you
