>> this is "bloomberg daybreak: europe." i am tom mackenzie alongside dani burger in london and these are the stories that set your agenda. dani: --super easy monetary policy, hitting the end again. wall street crushed. driving the s&p 500 to its lowest level since session fears return. ecb president lagarde is set to tell -- protect borrowing costs. tom, i'm back in what feels like a very dramatic market. slamming risk assets. tom: and historic week for the

-- an historic week. the fed had a basis hike. dani: that will be interesting. tom: the yen in focus for us on the back of that decision. whether or not corona spells out any adjustment to the trading and for the 10 year bond over in japan, when it comes to that press conference, 7:30 u.k. time . the japanese yen weaker by one point 3%. when it comes to euro-dollar, this sort of caught fire yesterday on the back of the news that madam lagarde -- details around this anti-fragmentation tool that she says will be used if there is a sharp spike in the weaker nations. a bit more detail on that currently. lower by .2%.

the two-year when it comes to that, the yields are up five basis points. we will continue to see where these yields start to level out if they do given the fed is now looking at 3.8% when it comes to that. concerns about china. the demand picture, we know they will be testing every single week, every single person in shanghai. population around 26 million. also hearing from the u.s. ambassador in china. he says covid zero will not end until early 2020 at the latest. dani: looking at the equity picture, it's continuing, adding to the macro concerns. in any other world, the tightness or the extreme fast pace of tightening we have seen for financial conditions will usually stop the fed from moving faster or at least make them

pause but it shows what a different world we are living in. we are coming back slightly. both are up in terms of s&p futures and your stocks, and the damage was immense yesterday so perhaps not unusual to see a little bit of buying but given recent patterns, is not crazy to tank this would not last. more of a selloff in the asia-pacific region. we will get into this a bit in a moment. a weaker yen doing nothing to support japanese stocks. punishing them, down 1.4%. tom: let's get to our reporter with the boj in focus. david and juliette saly will keep us up-to-date with the market reaction pay lizzy burden -- reaction. lizzy burden is here. >> capping off a major week,

let's kick off with the boj which has kept its key rate at -.1%. the bank of japan maintains its yield curve control and asset purchase policy. japanese assets tumbled but the yen sinking. our bloomberg opinion columnist joins us now, and dan, we did get this unusual hint towards concerns about the yen from the boj decision. does it seem like they are moving towards a situation where they will step into intervene? dan: they and the ministry of finance may well intervene but until there is a fundamental shift in the underlying reason for japan's currency weakness, which is >> monetary policy, you will not see a sustained turnaround. you will see a relatively

ineffectual attempt to purchase time. beware the kuroda press conference. people seem to think there is always a chance they will change their policy. he keeps pushing back. all i said was we are keeping our altar easy monetary policy. we can have low rates and it can be altar easy. tom: daniel on the boj, looking ahead at the importance of that conference ahead of the boj. the latest moves, david, what are you looking at across all of the moves and which currencies are looking most honorable? >> everyone is vulnerable.

it left every central bank open to sudden moves. the yen has definitely been a volatile one when you look at implied volatility. it has come off slightly after the boj risks being priced out. it remains elevated. you look at the one week level, markets are priced in, moving three points either way. even after that is priced out. moving forward to next week, we have jerome powell speaking. it will be a big driver for dollar-yen in the near term. dani: thank you very much. our fx and rates strategist in singapore. it's been a crazy week for markets. juliette saly is standing by in singapore. not going anywhere on friday. juliette: that is both tom and

dan alluded to, -- whether or not we are going to see verbal moves to suggest they are going to look at that yield curve control because you have seen the 10 year yield dropped from the 2016 highs after the decision. we have been looking as well very closely at what the moves have been in the yen and it initially fluctuated and rebounded somewhat from the 24 year lows. weaker dollar-yen, 133.93 against the dollar. we have not seen the boj change their policy. a lot more downward momentum on the yen. hsbc's paul telling us the yen will recover. looking at weakness across the board, that is on the progrowth policies we are looking ahead to , the potential tweaks from the pboc to key lending rates. in terms of the global recession selloff, that is going through

into asia. down for a seventh session in a row and this is the longest losing streak we have seen for asian stocks since the height of the pandemic in march 2020. tom: seventh session in a row. thank you, juliette saly, with the breakdown of the major moves across the asian markets. christine lagarde told euro area finance ministers about the plans. that is according to people briefed on their discussions. joining us now is lizzy burden with the details. tell us about this new crisis, what we have heard about this referring from -- briefing from madam lagarde. missy -- lizzy: it has not hiked since 2011 and the worry is the weaker nations will be exposed when you get financial turbulence. yesterday, madam lagarde said when bond yields -- when bond

spreads wide and so much, that is when it is going to kick in or when markets start moving at certain speeds, that is when it is going to kick in. she did not say what the thresholds would be. the weaknesses in the currency blocks are coming out. dani: did bot hiking for the fifth straight meeting and they have particularly aggressive forward-looking statements as well. why 25 basis points this time around? lizzy: this position has been seen as dovish. you can ask what more the bank of england needs when you have a cost-of-living crisis like this. the context is bid has never hiked more than five times. it has never done more than 25 basis points. it was the first out of the gate to start tightening with other major peers. the reason is we have a

recession in all but name in the u.k. the economy has started to contract. the housing market is starting to slow. that is the worry for six of the nine members of the committee that inflation will start to tame it itself because of the recession risks. yes, the guidance is more hawkish. they are saying they will act forcefully if necessary. crucially, this time, all nine members of the committee are signing up for that. the markets are seeing a 50 basis point hike in august. tom: which would be for the first time for the boe, a 50 basis point hike. thank you for the breakdown. the reaction to the boe, great decision yesterday. do not miss our exclusive interview talking about that with the chief economist on the latest decision and that will be a conversation well worth tuning in for at 10:30 a.m. london time. let's take a look at what key market participants are watching out for today.

we will have the latest trade data from italy which caused -- and the blowout we are seeing and also 10:00 a.m., we will have euro area cpi. dani: at 2:00 p.m., we have the conference board leading index being released an industrial production data at 4:00 p.m., and trade balance figures are published. coming up, japan's bond traders were closely watching the bank of japan policy decision. they continue to challenge that 25 basis point bound set by the boj and we will discuss the latest moves in this market, next. this is bloomberg. ♪

access to 250 different programs of benefits where you give money in benefits and it's very well appreciated by the employees. tom: ok, you heard from the ceo's speaking to bloomberg at the conference in paris. dani: all eyes will turn to the boj press conference. have been talking about it all morning but so far, after the release of their decision where they stayed committed to the project of yield curve control, they did of course mention -- for the first time in quite a few years in their statement and what we have seen is a market that continues to challenge the boj for four consecutive days. the jgb's have traded above the 25 band. at the moment, they are .256. boj has continued to buy bonds so what does this mean to them?

is the market saying we don't believe you will be able to continue? let's get into it with the head of credit. if we do get a boj that abandons yield curve control, what would be the implications for your world of fixed income? what's interesting. we are in a world where we are going to have increasing pressure overall on yields globally. we have kind of had already six months of fixed income markets where risk-free assets are hurting you the most. the knock on impact towards credit overall is quite significant. >> where are we broadly in the

repricing of the fixed income market to the central bank moves we have seen in the last four or five days? >> credit is ahead of the game a little bit here compared to equities. you are looking at high-yield credit spreads. investment-grade spreads. global credit is telling you that we are -- probability of a recession, of a global recession. and i don't think equity markets are -- they are a lot more optimistic than the credit markets. dani: we have seen them fall into a bear market. it's scary that they are more optimistic.

75% probability is what you are seeing priced in. the r word has been thrown around a lot recently but what would a recession actually look like? this time around, what with the contours of it be? how bad would it be? azhar: that is a really good question. in a way, we get scared by that word because our memories take us back to the great financial crisis or even the covid drawdown which really significantly -- the amount of support we had. this is more akin to an early 2000's style recession. i think the impact is likely to be less overall in terms of

whether that the levels of unemployment we can get to. we are talking about growth at a level to combat inflation and we will have to go into a recession. can we do that without, you know, really sustaining that for a long time? we are in a relatively good place from a broad economic perspective for this right now, particularly because of covid. we should not disregard the last couple of years which has helped . we are in a place from a credit center where -- got into it early. tom: we talked about the recession with the higher rates. it is something of an unknown in

terms of the impacts across the credit space. you lead all those things together. balance sheets -- as you say as a result of what happened during covid. where do you want to be hiding out within that environment? dani: we might be having some sound troubles. tom, i love that question. this idea that default rates are low, balance sheets are really strong, what does it look like this time? tom: do you have us? we have some connection issues. can you hear us ok? ok, it seems like we have some technical issues. we will try and reestablish that line. his notes are interesting in terms of how you position we have seen the outflows around the high-grade bonds out of the u.s. about $9 billion worth. it suggests there's pain there.

he will be talking in his notes around where we go with yields and whether we start to cap out on the back of what is happening so the repricing across these credit markets will reestablish the line. it has been a remarkable week for anyone with exposure to credit. dani: a lot of the selloff in credit has been this duration risk. you are seeing some hints of this idea. the hints have been getting louder and bigger but it is default risk we are worried about. the balance sheets are strong. perhaps this time, the cycle looks different and the recession is different and you don't have this immense -- tom: will the pain be in the private markets more than the public markets? dani: i was talking to people literally all day yesterday and the day before. they said that there was a reckoning. that was basically the conversation.

after yesterday, private markets will be feeling the pain, too. tom: that was a call from dani burger. we will get much more on these markets. historic week for the central bank. beautiful shot of london as we look through. temperatures may be 34 degrees later today. plenty more coming up. this is bloomberg. ♪

despite the fact that japan is having easier policy than everybody is and everybody is tightening that is not enough. the nikkei moving lower this morning, tom. tom: let's cap a major week. and the decisions by the b. o.j. resisting the bank of japan has kept the rate at minus 0.1% the central bank maintained the yield control and assets purchase policy japanese assets tumbled but the yen sinking to a 24-year low. madam lagarde said that it will kick in the borrowing costs ride too far or too fast. with us is steven gallo head of f.x. at b.m.o. capital markets. steve, good morning.

after a tumultuous week and monetarily policy. i want to start with the b.o.j. it's an opportunity to start building positions in the yen now given that many see fixilation at some point in the near future. >> it depends on how you define capitulation. on the one hand, it's important not to get too exciteed with the fundamentals the fundamental for the yen has been a very weak negative core picture in particular the rise in oil prices has hit the balance of payments negatively. you might even go as far as calling ate shock to the balance of payments due to energies reliance on oil imports. and so, the overwhelming flow's picture has fundamentally been

yen negative. and compounding that, of course, has been the b.o.j.'s policy -- policy aversions with other central banks. so if you think -- if you think about what might be driving that, it is the fact that japan is very much used to an ultra-low interest rate. i'm not talking just about the base rate. i'm talking of j.g.b. yields. dani: it does feel like a bizzaro world because you have a lot of volatility in the yen that's comparatively. it's been more volatile in the brazilian real. that's a crazy thing to try to wrap your head around. what does that mean for portfolios where in years past the yen was this back las. it was the port in the storm. >> yeah, well, every major

economy is undergoing an adjustment. as the fed charts its own path and as the fed continues to hike aggressively, it puts pressure on yields upward globally. and central banks have -- it's not quite this simple because they have this -- but it sometimes can be as simple as, well, you are -- you either follow the fed or you don't in japan's case, if they're not going to follow other central banks particularly the fed with monetarily easing and let yields rise, then the currency has to shoulder a significant part of the adjustment, a significant share of the adjustment. and so we do see the end ultimately going lower even if there are tweaks over the coming months to the monetarily policy

setting like for example changing the midpoint moving the midpoint higher on the 10-year yield. ultimately because of the picture and buzz of that resistance to letting j.g.b. yields rise because of the obvious fragility associated with that for the public sector in japan. we think the currency will continue to fall so we're talking about 138 in dollar yen in three months. >> so further weakness for the yen. 105 on euro dollar after some strength that we saw yesterday on the back of this news. mad damn lagarde has given more detail around the ante fragmentation talk that officials there are working out. is it net positive for the yield currency? >> yes, i think the rhetoric aren't it and this sort of reaffirmation sort of if you like of whatever it takes preserve the euro, that certainly helped spread the fed's communication over 75 days

in the rate hike and also it provides some relief to credit markets in europe because they manage to telegraph the 75 basis point hike using the rhetoric and the dots pretty well for markets overall namely the f.x. market. to put things in perspective, you have to look at all of the moving parts in europe and out of any major economy, the euro area probably has the most moving parts. so i wouldn't describe what the e.c. doing as normal zation. they are experimenting with what it's going to look like to exit these ultra loose policies that they've been in for so long. dani: we are short on time here. but i really want to get just a pulse fleck you because it's been a crazy week. we're talking about things that seem unprecedented to the b.o.j. to the e.c.b. we haven't touched on the fed or the b.o.e. yet.

what has your conversation been like this week with you and the team over there at b.m.o.? how much confusion is there? how much furor is there? >> i guess i have to come back to the u.s. dollar again. and if you listen to the feds' rhetoric, the rhetoric coming from policy official and the official communique in terms of the impact of the strong dollar as a result of the fed's monetarily policy, at the moment it's not really anywhere close to the top of the list. , you know, the -- the fed in power are charting their own course. and they're looking to get inflation under control. and that is to a degree putting currencies, bond marketers credit spreads outside of the united states under pressure because effectively what the fed is doing is a form of decoupling. it's going after a domestic

inflation problem with the world's primary most important reserve currency. and you know, that -- for the remainder of the year that is going to be one of the -- the main focal points. when will we start to see inflation, clearer signs that inflation is peak and clearer since that the outlook for the u.s. economy and as of right now, it does look like the fed is on for the most part on auto pilot. so it's going to be a bumpy few months >> set on on auto pilot and set for a burpy few months. european head of b.m.o. at capital markets european head of f.fx strategy on the experimentation and the flows that you're seeing around japan. let's get to the top news with julie in singapore. jules? julie: elon pucks has agreed to buy the company for $44 billion in late april.

but they are looking at it on a day-to-day basis and they are obviously looking as a political development because as the economics minister said that it's -- they do see this move of cutting back gas by putin to be politically motivated. so we do not know for example how the decision and how the backing of this e.u. leaders for ukraine is going down with putin and how he will react. >> ok bloomberg's birgit jennen with the background by those three members of the european union. the question is gas. is it the energy crisis arguably has worsened. moscow tightened the squeeze on gas flows. this is forcing european nations to confront possibly keeping
