4:04 am
a soft spot for rioters? really? saw,u saw the same tape i and he was trying to get away, it looks like. he fell and they violently attacked him. it is something we are looking at now. lawe may believe the words and order makes him strong, but his failure to call on his supporters to stop acting as an armed militia shows how weak he is. francine: for more on all of this, we are joined with the latest. good morning. what are we expecting from trump's kenosha visit today? >> i think you will see donald trump do more of the same. he has been clear that he will run as a law and order

4:06 am
this week that i would imagine .ill get a lot of coverage so far both candidates look like they came out of the conventions relatively flat to where they went into them, which means biden has a durable national that is larger than his lead in most things states. until thetwo months november election, a lot can happen in that time. as we remember from four years ago when hillary clinton let at this time. -- led at this time. there is a lot of room to go. this is an issue trump feels he has an advantage. trump needsid that to rein in his own supporters,
4:07 am
and has accused the president of inciting violence, and not being willing to condemn some of his supporters, in the same way trump is saying biden needs to be more forceful against left-wing protesters. francine: i want to show you a great chart on the back of j.p. morgan, to prepare for a rising chance president trump wins a second term. you see the blue line being joe biden, and the white line is joe biden, popularly going down, and trump rising. turnsre the chances trump this around and gets a second term? derek: joe biden add a 2:1 chance right now.
4:08 am
i am exceptional abetting markets. in the democratic primary they had hillary clinton having a better chance. there is a lot of dumb money there. salt.hat with a pound of what i do pay attention to is polls,, and i encourage people to look at state-level polls. this is not a national contest. it is not a national referendum. it is a coalition of 51 different contests where you need to get math to add up to 270 electoral votes. two of the biggest places this will be fought are in wisconsin, the current center of the unrest. and minnesota which is where george floyd was killed in may that sparked all of this.

4:10 am
not see the international environment getting worse by the minute. ?rancine: what is your take the dollar has fallen to a two year low. will it continue falling because of the fed in targeting inflation? ludovic: it is interesting because the differential between the euro and the dollar cannot be explained by rational factors. the growth differential is not enough. maybe the fed is more dovish than ecb. board members said they will not do more right now. i think what is priced in is a trust in what could be the u.s. six fro months from now. big bets on the credibility of the united states, and can they get out of the twilight zone after than the eurozone? concernar is a big
4:11 am
because it trades secondary effects. the record low valuation of euro stocks compared to american stocks, or the idea the u.s. economy is fueled on something which is a record low dollar. we expect the dollar to appreciate after the election. we do not think this is secular that is happening, but will have an effect for the next three to six months. francine: thank you very much. we will get back to ludovic subran. coming up, does the german government expected the retraction to be less severe? this is bloomberg. ♪

4:16 am
does it outperform a country like france, or are there political doubts that could question the economy? germany is the one getting out of the crisis the strongest. potential growth wise, it is of the covid-19 recession, low growth rates because of low productivity and the export driven sector that was under duress. when you look at the stimulus program that germany took, there is nothing long-term. very little long-term, investment program for the greening of the economy. this is small compared to france , or what the u.s. is doing. the potential gdp. i would not be surprised if by the end of 2020 one when germany recovers from the crisis faster than the others, the question of low growth that will be locked
4:17 am
be after the election in germany. we need a new model in germany when it comes to structural reforms, and basically making export dependency less, but also being stronger on innovation and moving the supply chain. there is nothing on this when you look at the recovery plan announced by the government last month. francine: we may also come to brexit afterwards, but if there is a messy brexit, who has the most to lose in europe? ludovic: from brexit, the netherlands, ireland, and exporting countries. and spain.aly the big issue with brexit now, the negotiations are doing poorly, but the capital flows between the u.k. in europe are messed up when you look where the pound is today. you see a lot of drag.

4:42 am
health care challenges. and drug development. all of this requires asia to have a center for biotech so we and theort research massive health care reforms. that is a big event, because china finally, literally four years ago, brought the entire drug administration system into the same as the fda. governingm will bring drug administration the same with the u.s. that reform set the foundation for us to again take a huge reform in the biotech sector in terms of listings. , and theyno revenue
4:43 am
need to have government approval. ever having to regulate it. we thought that history of being regulated allow them to be listed despite the fact they do not have the traditional measures that typical companies that we ask for before they can list here. it was a great event, a milestone. we never thought covid-19 would hit us, but looking back, i don't know how we could cope without this new sector that is allowing some of the companies to join the race finding the vaccine and therapeutics and solutions. what is the edge for hong kong? we know china has been the regulating to make it easier for these companies to list domestically, or easier for them to list on the chinext. for the last 11 years, we

4:45 am
china is trying to do a similar review and reform, but it is about money, scientists, working together. i think we provide that unique combination. yet.x is not done what we see in reform and tweaking in the rules as you try to attract more listings? reform,e broader chapter 18 a, the pre-revenue biotech chapter is a part of a large comprehensive reform of changing the landscape and composition of the market. andt of reforms, in vr, many of the u.s. companies have unique structures that do not necessarily fit in here.
4:46 am
need to find a way to see if we can make it work for them. for specific biotech, 18a, the bulk of what we needed to do is behind us. .here are tweaks here and there and to make the offering easier, so there are a few things we are working with our regulators, our listing department. we are not talking about fundamental change. francine: that was the hong kong exchange clearing executive charles li. let's bring our latest bloomberg scooped. apple is looking to build five -- 75 million iphones later this year, in line with last year's launch. joining me is dani burger. iphones, what does it mean for apple? dani: it is a positive sign in

4:53 am
astrazeneca will be here quick and safe? >> based on the data we have seen to date, we have not seen any new data from them. the vaccine appears to work in nonhuman primates and humans in terms of inducing an immune response. they are starting a large u.s. trial and will be accessing south american countries. chile also approved for that trial. we have to wait to see how this does in human trials in terms of production. we need production data. francine: do you worry more about protection or the safety of the vaccine? paramountof course is as we have always said. you are treating healthy people essentially. you have to have both hand-in-hand, and there is a trade-off. if you get 90% protection against severe disease or reduction in hospitalizations,
4:54 am
you might accept a slightly versus lower safety bar if you only had a 50% benefit. it is a tug-of-war between safety and if it levels. francine: how do you square the two? if people you not feel safe, they will not get vaccinated. how long does it take to develop a vaccine like this? vaccinert of another and will be deemed more safe? sam: nothing like that, it is completely new. most vaccines are completely new. whether thematter technology was used previously are not. in some cases even if you have done the technology used before, and you go into a new virus, you find different side effects. early side effects we will see will be the types of effects in terms of high fever.
4:55 am
it would be odd if we saw the rare forms of side effects like an old vaccine which caused narcolepsy in a few people in a larger population. those side effects you will only ever know once you have done two million people, maybe less. we will see how safe it is acutely. francine: a number of countries are seeing a huge rise in the number of infected. we are not seeing a tariff similar we are not seeing a simr rise in deaths. is it that the vaccine is less violent than it was in april and may? sam: there is a combination of things, if you look at the data that lead the fda to approve the
4:56 am
convalescent plasma in the u.s. for emergency use, you saw a significant drop in the mortality from even april to july. that is probably to do a lot more -- and there was no change in the age profile of the individual. what i think you are seeing was basically less sick people getting the disease. and also the hospitals being better at managing the disease. and we have drugs that work now. francine: thank you so much.
