dani: this is "bloomberg daybreak: europe." these are the stories that say your agenda. manus: growth is resurfacing. it helps push stocks into the red again. france cuts their forecast amid surging inflation. finland and sweden take a major step towards membership as turkey drops its opposition. an interview from mount olympus. most powerful central bankers talk shop.

we are joined in an exclusive conversation. good morning. a divine coincidence. get inflation right and the world will be perfect. it is not going that way, is it? dani: it really is not. this is a market i think is more likely to expect failure than success. that is what we saw yesterday after consumer confidence numbers were coming in at eight decade low. it was easy for the market to turn, almost too easy. rebalancing will be worse for equities. let me show you with the markets are doing this morning. some of that is easing in the future section. nasdaq is falling. that is the 11th time that has happened in history.

tech was hit the hardest. not unusual to see that type of bounce back. perhaps this is not just recession fears that hit equities. the idea that this growth picture is slowing. at the central -- the central banks will keep slowing. that is almost -- that is like cpi impacting the future section. u.s. futures are playing catch-up. asia-pacific, despite the fact that china and hong kong may reduce their quarantine period, it is the move of the u.s. that has trickled. we are seeing a decline. manus: one thing you can say is when you look at the j.p. morgan survey on the bond market, there is a sense they are throwing in the towel. you can see, yields turn just a

little bit lower this morning. easy to soup in and pick up the bonds. -- easy to swoop in and pick up the bonds. we are seeing equity traders -- hedgers short the futures rather than use the options. you can see them for the first time since 2016. evercore saying you need a fix to blow through the floor. prude is down by half of 1%. we still notice a tightness in the supply side. opec-plus under delivering by nearly half $1 billion. they have reduced quarantine rules by 15%. dani: let's get to some other top stories from today.

enda curran will join us from hong kong to help us digest resurfacing fears. francine is ahead of the blockbuster panel today. manus: juliette saly is in singapore. maria tadeo joins us. they are going to talk us through the nato expansion. dani: starting with consumer confidence. the u.s. has fallen to the lowest in more than a year. inflation continues to dampen outlook for americans. the same time, reserve officials are playing down the risk of the most aggressive rate hikes will push the u.s. into recession. >> i see us tapping on the brakes to a more sustainable pace rather than slamming on the brakes, going over the handlebars and having a proverbial recession. i would not be surprised, it is

in my forecast, if growth will slow below 2%. we will not go into negative territory. dani: joining us now is the chief asia correspondent enda curran. starting with that consumer data, what was the take away from it? the most week in nearly a decade. enda: 2021, the weakest since then. consumer confidence is almost at a decade low. purchases of goods are holding up but the fear is that purchases of cars and appliances will soon start to pull off. the fall in consumer confidence is all over the price of food and gas. of course, households are worried about income levels.

takeaway consumer confidence, the major surprise. manus: what do you make about those comments? tapping the brakes and not crushing them. there is a confidence there that we are not going over the handlebars. all the metaphors are there. is there confidence that we will not hit a recession? i love the arrogance. the least number of people on the holiday for years. there is a slowdown, recession. enda: there certainly is. the first job is consumer confidence. with not want to hear them talking about the recession. she is pointing out a slowdown in the u.s.. the question comes about what kind of recession?

households are still in good order, so our banks. -- so are banks. manus: enda curran there, chief agent economics correspondent. off to the ecb with francine lacqua -- good to see you. i wonder about the push back against the hawkish narrative, some of the sentiment from our colleagues. how is the confidence going? -- how is the conference going? less windy. francine: yes. a lot of worry about the monetary policy for the next -- for the last decade. they have done too much. rock stars that have kept it safe. if you see stagflation taking hold, the economy slowing, how

difficult is it to hike into a cycle where there is a downward trend and what does that mean for recession? the question everyone wants to know is how the central bankers are prepared to hike to make sure the inflation is under control. hildebrand is right and during that great interview, it will take a lot of pain to get to 2%. christine lagarde will be asked again about fragmentation. if it is not due to inflation, maybe some structural reforms that we are not doing. dani: first off, think you so much for promo-ing my interview yesterday. we have to promo for you. you have a great panel with some of the world's most powerful

central bankers. jerome powell, christine lagarde, bailey and kirstein. -- carstene. let's get more with juliette saly in singapore about yesterday's rally. juliette: morgan stanley called it a small step for covid exit and a giant leap for confidence. it is not being reflected in the price section. today, the topic is about these growth worries. we are seeing asian stocks snapped at 40 rally. a lot of the weakness is coming through. china csi 300 is 100 away from a bull market. we are seeing some pullback. hsbc saying, this will not be a game changer for the yuan.

that is straightly -- slightly stronger than the dollar. it will be an easing of the quarantine rules. there is still a lot of processes in place. the fact is that a lot of people do not want to deal with quarantine at all. there is still a demand for the dollar. let's take a look at how the market has been for june. noble stocks have not been doing as well. the regional index is down about 5%. china is on track for a gain this month. they are outperforming some socks. we heard earlier that this remains the topic as we start to see an easing of covid zero policy. manus: you keep pushing that narrative. we can smell a bull market. we will see tomorrow morning and hopefully you can confirm it. juliette saly with the asian

market roundup from singapore. to the european story from nato, finland and sweden have taken a major step award in their way to nato membership. meanwhile, g7 leaders have agreed to stick by ukraine. joining us now is maria tadeo. she is at the summit and madrid. how big of a breakthrough is this for finland, sweden, in regards to progress in membership. ? maria: i am about to go through security. one of the major questions going into the summit for finland and sweden. it is about their security. it is about the important geopolitical changes. they are itching to actively join with finland, they share huge border. they made it clear that they did not want to get into it

politically. yesterday they had a huge meeting. by the end of it, the turkish president drafted his objection. he did get some of the reassurance he wanted. no veto to turkey. commentary around the turkish [indiscernible] they agreed. interestingly enough, they said yesterday they had nothing to do with that. no concessions on the united states and this was a discussion between the three of them. that is in terms of today and how that all came about. dani: thank you. we will let you go and get through security.

maria tadeo there. here are some of the key things that marks the -- market participants will watch out. 10:00 a.m. u.k. time, confidence surveys will be released. will they be as weak as the u.s.? 1:00 p.m., the latest germany cpi reading. additional data showing a drop in month over month. will the rest of germany show that? 1:30 p.m., u.s. gdp figures. manus: 2:00 p.m., jay powell, lagarde at a conference. also, second day of the nato summit in madrid. rhea going through security as we speak. dani: coming up, sign said inflation may be cooling. we will speak with antoine bouvet from ing.

manus: plus, president macron faces his first test since losing majority of elections this month. more on the story, later in the show. ♪

>> central bankers face a difficult set of choices. they can bring inflation down at a heavy cost to the real economy and raise interest rates very much to get the inflation community or they can except that the cost is too high and tolerate for higher inflation. dani: hildebrand they're speaking to us yesterday. speaking about what the phrase

of the day might be. manus: those days may be gone. get inflation in check and everything else may follow. we are talking to antoine bouvet , senior rates strategist from ing. to the positioning in treasury, we are seeing jp morgan's positioning. there has been a collapse by 11%. when you look at rates, when you look at the slow down and people not taking holidays, are you beginning to see the narrative which means that you can buy bonds as recession trade protection? antoine: good morning.

a good day always to talk about interest rates in my opinion. the recession narrative taking over the market. this is when we saw that rally. in a sense, this is the right market reacting late. we are heading into very turbulent waters. the million-dollar question, do these do points finally behave and provide a balance to the portfolio when the economy slows down. we need to look at various metrics is. in the grand scheme of things, current yield level elevated.

dani: to the question that manus mentioned, you pointed out that we have seen inflation expectations come down dramatically. you have also pointed out that volatility is very high in these inflation expectations. what does that tell you about the ability to have conviction in this market? antoine: that is a discrepancy. if you look at the ultimate driver, how much are they going to return in real terms, it is already quite a lot of headwind. more importantly, it looks like central banks have warned about those expectations. the problem is, if that is

elevated, confidence will be low. i'm not sure a lot of them are ready to do so. i think it will take time to draw the most risk adverse investors. between now and the third, we will see a peak in inflation and central banks will remain hawkish. there will still be that volatility. the ones with the most risk appetite will be the ones willing to jump at these levels. manus: since we are dealing with peaks, francine has the pleasure of having a panel later today. fragmentation and what comes out of that narrative will be critically important. i think you are brave.

you are calling the top and spread. that is a big call. why are you so confident in what will be in the anti-fragmentation? antoine: that is the theme. the ecb is behind that call. ultimately, the first want to warn about many of the problems, the devil is in the details. there are limitations to what they can do. they will turn around the announcement and this is not the sort of debate they want. that being said, ecb has a lot of experience fighting those. that is not to say they will tie into in a hurry. i do not think that is a situation you want to chase

spreads tighter. with ecb will do is have a cap in place. not at a specific level but preventing large jumps. in that environment, that spread will be a reasonable line in the sand. i don't expect them to be crossed. not for very long. dani: this is a long-standing problem. keeping inflation in check and doing that without causing a debt crisis. it is such a highly political issue. what does that mean, the influence of politics in the economics of trying to get back to normalization? antoine: there is a discrepancy between objectives than any time

the ecb will increase interest rates are talking about balance sheets, you can expect the spreads to widen. some spread widening is healthy and a sense. what market forces will dictate. since the ecb will no longer be the marginal buyer, investors will need to replace them. the question is if they want to do that. yes, perhaps the spread level is not very wide but we need to put it in the context of risk. therefore, it would be lower. i think it will be successful in that respect, provided it does

not slip into something more nasty and reticent of years before. dani: please come join us again soon. antoine bouvet senior rates strategist at ing. we will get the latest with maria tadeo, hopefully she is through clearance. all of that later, this is bloomberg. ♪

and sweden have taken a step closer to nato membership after turkey dropped their opposition. g7 leaders have agreed to stick by ukraine to the bitter end. maria tadeo is at the summit in madrid. maria, good to have you with us. maria: we are very safe. the big question going into the summit, the idea of sweden and finland bridging the policy of neutrality to join nato, as the war ukraine has been accelerated by the russian aggression. the deal yesterday, i think it took many by surprise. we were expecting along, drawn out negotiation, and it was done in four hours. we were told erdogan want to just be except that he would be accompanied by the presence of

finland and sweden. perhaps a propaganda moment, was worth paying that price to get the assurance they want to join nato. we are expecting this to be a fast official confirmation by the end of the summit. the nato leaders are expected to officially give the go-ahead to finland and sweden. this could be quick for the two countries. dani: we are also seeing possibly the biggest strategic overhaul of nato since the cold war. his that bring us back to the dynamics of that era? maria: we could see the most sweeping changes to nato. when you look at the language for the secretary general uses. they say russia is a direct and significant threat to nato security. just a few years ago, russia was

not a member of nato, but was seen as a partner to nato. now it is essentially being declared an enemy potentially to the security of the 30 countries. when you look at china, it was not mentioned in some of the conclusions. now it will be named a systemic challenge to nato. i'm not sure if we are back to the cold war, but we are definitely back to block politics. it is clear the messages either you are with us work without. the war in ukraine shows when you are not part of nato, it is lonely out there. dani: thank you very much. the french government have/it's economic growth forecasts of underscoring the constraints on a mac as he tries to prepare -- macron as he tries to repair. joining us now is caroline. i'm looking at morgan stanley,
