6:06 pm
shery: these exercises were similar in scale to the response to last year's visit by nancy pelosi. what the receipt with the u.s. house speaker kevin mccarthy? >> it's obvious to expected beijing's perspective would have to show some sort of displeasure similar to what happened last year after nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan where there were military drills concluded yesterday, there were some 91 aircraft surrounding the island yesterday has at 6:00 p.m., warplanes crossing the median line in taiwan. if you want my take on this,
6:07 pm
6:08 pm
back from beijing where he met with xi jinping, it's interesting because joseph wu spoke to bloomberg news in an interview, he said of these two french lawmaker will be going to taiwan to talk about setting conductors and economic issues. we're hearing another french lawmaker will go as early as this week. macron had some interesting comments to french media and said the worst thing would be to think that we europeans must become followers on the topic. again, the french president looking to play a middle road between china and the united states.
6:09 pm
shery: as we mentioned, throwing cold water on expectations. >> given the current situation, i don't think it's necessary to reconsider discussions with the government. it changes significantly. >> kathleen hays joins us now with a bit more on what we have heard from the inaugural news conference what will we not change, at least immediately? >> let's start with what was expected. we know governor kuroda made the unexpected tweak to widen the
6:10 pm
yield control band. so many thought that meant the door was wide open. take them further. he said exactly what he wanted everyone to hear right now. keeping an eye on the bond market given the current economic price and financial conditions, i think it's appropriate to keep up the yield curve control. he could not be the fact that he

6:18 pm
is very to see. i want to start on headline versus core inflation. year-over-year slowed a good amount. it is still way too high. the core rate is climbing. what does that mean for your next meeting? >> the other thing to look at his month on month. when you are you are near, there is way too much information. when you look at that, the march price index is slightly lower than you january price index. you will have to receive what

6:20 pm
6:21 pm
6:22 pm
been made murky in terms of the global banking crisis. i'm curious how you feel about philippine banks? >> is -- the answer is no. thank management is very strong. we don't have the things in the united states, coming from zero. type policy rates is not a concern in the philippines. >> i want to ask you about rates.

the economy would be weaker. we are importing very heavily. it's quite bad for exports. >> are you expecting rate cuts to operate with a lag? you are one of the most unfortunate countries in that regard. aggressive rate, china's reopening is going slowly. this is a major trading partner. >> this year, we expect.

6:29 pm
6:31 pm
focusing on the wrong things? annabelle: this outlook for central banks and bank of america says perhaps we are focusing on the wrong things, when instead we should be trimming u.s. equity allocations and that is because we need to focus on the outlook for recession and the impact it's having on stock markets. and we should note michael hartnett was successfully bearish and the sake a look at -- bank earnings are coming up, j.p. morgan is one of the most
6:32 pm
closely tracked given j.p. morgan is the only ceo since 2008, there is an advisor at first republic bank. haidi: of course, inflation later out of the u.s. is being closely watched. what are we watching? >> we are being quite stubborn in the rates area in core services. they are continuing to rise. this is one of the most closely charter reports. one of them is speaking at an event. it was asked about rates and he is leaning for another hike, he said the bet or communication
6:33 pm
between the bond markets is a rate cut. take a listen. >> do i worry if market expectations expect us to lower interest rates significantly next year? my answer is i don't really worry. inflation will come down much faster, to me, that is not something we need to worry about. haidi: our next guest says u.s. markets are reacting to fed decisions like it was a previous era. she thinks this time is fundamentally different. we know and economic conditions that were the precursor to the tightening cycle were fundamentally different and quite structural, is that what
6:34 pm
you mean when it comes to a misunderstanding of where you go from here? >> we have had four cycles over the last 30 years, and this one is the most comparable to the one we saw in the early 1990's, if you think about the differences we are experiencing now, the types of dynamics happening globally now, they're quite dramatic. that was when the rate hiking cycle started in 1993, we're in a. of globalization when baby boomers were in their primes, and all of the rate cutting cycles in recent memory have been in a period where we generally had low inflation, so we are now hiking in the period where the fed allowed inflation
6:35 pm
to get out of control. the idea that the fed will be cutting in early fall as a misunderstanding of the message and it's unlikely to happen. that is the other thing i would say. when a pause is not a rate cut, lasted for 14 months. the idea that it's over and done with i think, i am a little skeptical. haidi: how do you play on that skepticism? >> we like money market of 4.8%, we think u.s. stocks are richly priced, especially u.s. large-cap stocks.
6:36 pm
we like parts of the bond market, and generally we like value and quality. cash flows that will hold up well in a. where we will find inflation remains sticky at around 4%. >> emission value and quality. is that the call given it is such a diverse space, and at the same time, what do you think about the nasdaq and tech stocks which have seen an immense run-up? >> the nasdaq 100 is up over 20% , i would consider and high quality tech which is a well-run
6:37 pm
company has become something of a safe haven, it's not almost 8% of the s&p 500. if we see a downturn in fallen tech stocks, that would be a real headwind for the nasdaq. shery: where do you find quality in emerging markets? >> in emerging markets, i would say the imf expects china and india or asia in general to comprise over 50% of global growth this year, we like india, gdp is outpacing china and they don't have some governmental issues that china will continue to have despite reopening. i think there is some quality to be found in parts of emerging markets, especially asia and india.
6:38 pm
shery: if we look at reopening and indian consumption coming back to levels before the pandemic, does that mean we will see the battle in prices rising, especially with oil? i think china's reopening will continue to put pressure on energy prices, particularly oil. that will be and inflationary force. we have not seen the full impact of this yet. the timing. shery: it was good to have you. let's get to the first word news. >> the bank of japan says
6:39 pm
policies are sticking around for now. the use of yield curve control and negative interest rates i with the economy needs in the moment. he said he is open to a long-term standpoint which will meet the approval of other board members. >> given the current situation, i don't tickets necessary there is still conversations if the economy. >> the chinese military growth is on par with the reaction last year after the predecessor visited this island. the intensity of the threat was similar to what they saw after

6:44 pm
special dividend in the deal, we understand newmont had been given partial access last month to the corporate books of the australian rival, according to people familiar, we had an indication the u.s. country would be making a revised offer, the world's largest gold takeover. we are expecting due diligence to grant due diligence access under the offer, the nonbinding propose that has been made. this was after we saw a dismissal of the $17 billion proposal which is the world's top gold producer and that was rebuffed back in mid february saying new crest is worth a lot more. we are watching out for this in terms of how this plays into the
6:45 pm
market open and whether this goes ahead with due diligence now, getting confirmation. shery: we saw the market reacting to the u.s. economy, peaking global interest rates as well. that's been setting the stage for investors to revive so-called carry trade's in emerging markets, that strategy of borrowing that offer highroad -- higher yields and you can see this in the chart with the imf predicting american economies will be a bright spot even as the u.s. slows, ingredients could be in place for the first time in years. let's bring in a managing director, marcus wong. it seems a banking turmoil has
6:46 pm
helped reignite the strategy. investors have been lured into this since last year. returns since march, investors have been looking for cuts since the end of this year. fx volatility has been easing the carry trade. if you look at the bloomberg index, so far this year, years of losses. shery: when it comes to bem carry trade's, part of the equation is perhaps a slowdown. how do emf returns perform in
6:47 pm
that environment? >> the question is what kind of slow down. if we are talking about a sharper session, this is a trade that is correlated for risk appetite. that will make the trade network so much and will actually take you into losses. if we get a mild recession, we can argue a soft landing altogether because we are not going below neutral. we have gotten a taste of that in march, we got a bit of a shake in markets but most have close the gap. there is resilience into mild shakes. haidi: how compelling is that
6:48 pm
china reopening story? >> most of the carry trade is concentrated in areas where you have the secondary effect which is a demand for commodities. and maximum of 6, 6 .5% compared to 7% to 13% from poland to hungary. we talked about double digits, 12%, 13% for brazil. these countries are big producers of commodities. chinese reopening, global growth means potential for commodities to stay at relatively high prices. there is an inflationary effective that which is the part to gives -- makes central banks
6:49 pm
hawkish. there is hyperinflation in the past and transmission channel where you don't really have that much of an effect of an economy. the leg is slower so there is higher commitment to hide interest rates. haidi: what are some of the most remarkable trades? >> there are quite a few. especially the china reopening story is the effect where there is a commodity boom. last week has brought me about the government with the new
6:50 pm
fiscal framework to aim for budgetary restraints. this is boosted optimism, traders have cut shots as a result. another is one of the highest em carries, inflationary pressures should keep the central banks hawkish as a result. shery: what are some of the most attractive trades at the moment? >> this is the lower yield, so this is been very resilient over the past month, but from the
6:51 pm
general perspective, all your long, active managements you need to be on top of trades and set up stocks. if you look back at the episodes of the em carry trade, they stop pretty fast. for that, you need to be fairly disciplined into predicting those gains. carrying brazil, carrie and mexico may be more affected by u.s. recession risks that have been causing more of a shake, columbia, 13% interest rates are starting to look better. it prevents me from being as constructive about hungary where they have high inflation.
6:52 pm
some of these countries have not had a material inflation cycle. you are seeing that materializing in latin america. haidi: when it comes to risks, how much is it political? >> we have pointed back at five recent episodes in research of dollar movements, and the average in general is to weaken ahead of the debt ceiling but to strengthen out of this. this is the case against the market currencies it is something we are putting in the calendar as a potential risk. shery: you have to have a strong stomach. also, thanks to bloomberg, terminal users can get more on what is happening in emerging
