data from the uk. i think even the transient pieces of information that come through that change month on month when uk retail sales were pretty good this week, mortgage data was good this week and the net result for sterling has fallen through the week. and it is a question. i think people are looking at the longer term picture, not just the month on month spikes and troughs. so i'm not surprised that sterling is taking a hit and i wouldn't be at all surprised if it slides further over the next few days. >> david, here in the u.s., we've seen greater risk appear tietd, certainly witnessed by the dow crossing 9,000. today we're going to get consumer confidence numbers. is that going to impact the dollar today? >> difficult to see whether the consumer confidence numbers will have too much effect. i think as i was just saying to ross, i think people are start to go take a much longer term view of data and something like a quarterly gdp figure or something with a moving average which is moving in the right

>>reporter: despite widely held concerns work continues in the uk to broaden out that legislation. reportedly, the home office is currently consulting on its interception modernisation programme, which will require isps and telecommunications companies to collect increasing amounts of data and make it availableto british intelligence agency gchq and its various authorities. >>stephens: my concern is that the access to that data will be uncontrolled. just as we witnessed with the regulation of investigatory powers act, that the number of authorities that can gain access to the interception data - and the purposes for which they can gain access - will become broader and broader overtime, until it effectively becomes public domain information. >>reporter: despite taking precautions it's inevitable that some personal information may leak onto the web be used by criminals. >>russell: you might think your private data is very valuable - and of course it is to you. but the criminal market for this kind of information works on mass sales rather than high value returns. you might be surprise

he said something to worry about here in the uk? you know, i think the rhetoric has got knowledge stronger and stroker each time. but the reality is, it's not the gold of china to do this over a short, short-term. when you look at the short-term effect on the dollar, it's going to hurt it quite a bit. but in terms of them being able to do that in practice, i don't think there's a pass for that right now. >> bob, thanks so much. we are out of time. bob iachino, joipging from congre. >> thanks for watching "worldwide exchange." snoor tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 if i'm breathing, i'm thinking about trading. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 i always have my eye out for a stock on the move. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 doesn't matter if a company sells computer chips tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 or, i don't know, fish and chips. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 i'll look at all kinds of stocks before i settle on one. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 if i think i'm onto something i'll check it out, tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 you know, see what other traders are up to. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 when everythi

if he look at net lending in the uk, no signs of quantitative easing. so anybody that's worried about inflation or printing money can stay at the bus stop. global equities, a little firmer. ftse cnbc 300 off. well, in europe we're slightly down. ftse 100 up 0.75%. we're in the middle of a big earnings day today. bayer looked good. that is helping boost us here. on the currency market, the dollar is having a breather after being earn pressure. the key thing here is that on the currencies, where the equities appear to have broken into new ranges, in the currency markets we haven't. so we're wondering whether the correlations are beginning to break down, krit christine. >> well, breaking down here in asia, profit taking is the theme of the game here. the big story today, the big focus is the big ipo in china. but the overall market, dhant get auto boost from the ipo. it shrimped 5%. a lot of people are saying this is the much needed correction after this particular market rose as much as 78% year-to-date. the hang seng is down 2.3%. the bombay sensex down 1

sikora, thank you for being with us from the uk. shona holmes and richard baker from canada, karen kerrigan. thank you for your efforts. just a couple of concluding points one is we've worked hard for alternatives we think makes the system work better. dr. sikora said repeatedly praise that we've been using. i'm not sure i have it as concise as he did when he consistently said competition and choice drive value. we want more market factors in the system. more choices. more opportunities to choose your doctor. more opportunities for you and your doctor to choose your health care determinations. but we think we can have a system where people have many more choices than they have now. karen kerrigan talked about that as she has and small business folks have for years, opening up this system where you have all the choices you have now but you have choices beyond that. and inside the health care system itself, things like medical liability reform, more health care transparency, more health i.t. all save money there, as well. we want to se

that's despite the quantitative easing here in the uk. there's an argument that for all the quantitative easing, the amount of money getting out in the system is even less. is there an argument forecentral banks maybe like they're doing in sweden having a negative rate of interest? >> quite frankly, if you look where real years are in the market, they're already very, very low or even negative. whether or not the central bank has the ability to cut rates even further, say particularly over here in europe in the case of the ecb, i think it's an arcane discussion because at the end of the day, it's not slutdly the level of key interest rates which is the problem at the moment. it's just, as you said, the transmission mechanism. i think andy mentioned it before, that's the thing that needs fixing. so far at the moment, we haven't seen -- >> but that's my point. if you make banks pay to hold their money with the central banks, surely they'll find something better to do with it. >> yes and no. on the other hand, the alternative could also be ju

in our own market in the uk, clearly this pile of debt is going up. alistair dollar's figures are more and more wrong and that's pulling on the market and i think that's going through the next month or so. what are the government going to say about it? so the u.s. data, everybody is looking closely at it but i'm afraid nobody is looking for good signs at the moment and that will pull the market back for the next month or so. >> ian, it's difficult for the market, even with data coming out to really do much in the face of rising unemployment. those jobless numbers last week were obviously concerning to the markets and caused a big sell-off here on thursday. >> yeah, that's right. job creation certainly needs to pick up as the economy picks up, which proebls looks a long way off at the moment. actual rising in layoffs doesn't look that bad and i think it's normal for the market to be worried about rising unemployment. it's a perfectly normal reaction as the economy has gone through the shock that it has. so i think if you look at the more forward looking

, the uk bailout measures on a -- i guess on a pro-rata basis for the size of the uk economy outstrip even though those in the u.s. so i think uk domestic demand will be very, very weak next year and i think it's likely to be a similar picture in europe and maybe to a lesser extent also in the u.s. but i think it's going to be a difficult period. i think we put about 3,000 pounds each equivalent into the banking system here in the uk. >> i feel great about that. i want you to know, it's going to be a really good investment in about ten years. thank you so much. there's plenty of focus on the auto stocks today. porsc porsche's ceo announced a step down. it endorsed talks with the government of qatar for a possible purchase of stake. it's unlikely to affect the anticipated talks with volkswagen. you heard ben mention it, credit suisse shares are higher after posting a pretty good set of second quarter figures. a strong performance helped net profits come in at $1 billion. the bank's capital ratio also means it's now one of the strongest capitalized banks in the industry. also in switzer

and the uk, so they are already showing signs of recovery. the banking sector does not have any toxic loans. they've been increasing lending rapidly, driving growth. >> simply spending more money on stimulus packages in europe and america would not help things because of the other two things you spoke about. >> that's right. china does not suffer as many problems as the u.k. and the u.s. does. the banking sector is largely state-owned in china. the government got the banks to start lending. >> what about the pitfalls? authorities there, themselves, suggest there are problems ahead. >> this is not the broad based recover china needs. exports are still weak. until they start to recover, then china will say its recovery is no longer patchy. some of the money is going to the stock market's. finally, most of their recovery is being driven by government spending. until the private sector improves, it won't be a full- blown recovery china and the world needs. thank you for your time. the number of foreign troops who've been killed in afghanistan is a

we just got some data out of the uk. we've got producer prices, june, nsa output prices, minus .2% on the month. the consensus was for it to full minus .8%. sorry, that is weaker than the consensus from minus .8. that is the weakest since dose 2001. the core output prices minus .8% on the month. that is weaker than expected. that's the lowest annual rate since june 2004. and the nsa output prices, down 11% on the year. the consensus was for that to be mean was 12.2% on the year, so slightly better than expected, and the weakest rate since april 20201. james shugg is with us. what do you make of that? >> it's not real surprising. the sector is not going to be generating inflationary pressure for a long, long, long time to come and the ppi data is entire consistent with that. there's so much spare capacity in uk manufacturing and indeed in global manufacturing at the moment that the bank of england will give these numbers a cursory grand and move on to bigger issues. >> yeah. well, the big issue for the bank is they decided
