u.k. half an hour ago we heard from prime minister boris johnson on how he plans to reopen the economy. prime min. johnson: in step two, non-essential retail will reopen, as well personal kale including hairdressers, i'm glad to say, and nail salons. indoor facilities such as gyms will reopen. guy: the prime minister sounds like he is looking forward to a haircut. let's talk about some the details that could be starting to roll out in the u.k. march 8, all schools will return. there was spec that it would be a phased approach, and in other parts of the united kingdom that will not the case. one-to-one socializing will be allowed outside. the focus will be outside, where transmission is lower. march 29, two households mixing outdoors. outdoor sport -- football, golf, tennis. june 21, the end of all contact rules. what impact is this going to have on the british economy, which is starting to be price to be moving higher? fabrice montagne, barclays chief u.k. economist, joining us to discuss.

and the u.k. hits its 15 million vaccination target, a milestone that is set to increase pressure on boris to begin reopening the economy. now just one hour away from the start of cash equity trading in europe and let's take a look at futures this morning. first off, in europe here, pull out the euro stoxx 50 futures, gaining .6%. ftse futures up .8% and dax futures looking at almost .75 percent gain. we are only about 1.6 percent away from s&p 4000. you can see futures are up about .4%. u.s. stocks will not trade today . it is president's day, a holiday , and the stock market is closed. what do you see on the gmm? anna: without the u.s. today, you must keep that in mind and we are without some of the key components of the asian market that doesn't mean we have lost our momentum and optimism. that is not the case because we see the nikkei hitting 30,000 for the first time since 1990. futures point to the upside so there seems to be a lot of risk on mood out there for this monday morning. lots of m

u.k. prime minister boris johnson has told his country to prepare for not one not 2 but repeated vaccinations in order to keep up with the mutating coronavirus the british scientist in charge of monitoring the mutations says the variant 1st identified there is changing yet again and it's migrating tonight that scientists joins me with a prediction about a variant now sweeping the planet and she has a warning the mutating virus may be able to outsmart the vaccines that were developed to stop it i burned off in berlin this is the day. we're worried the virus. and it is reward. but we're battling with a with nature with a disease that is capable of mutating and changing becoming monsters me. more deadly and eventually more resistant to vaccines in which case we didn't redesign the vaccine but we're still going to be doing this 10 years down the line or a virus is not going anywhere if we stay with us when we are in a race between mutating virus and vaccinations. also coming up a criminal crit

the u.k. hits its 15 million vaccination target. the milestone, set to increase pressure on boris johnson -- to begin reopening the economy. 6:00 in london, 7:00 in frankfurt. the question across markets is, are we at the beginning of a breeze of inflation that could turn into a gale that could reprice to a taper tantrum? good morning. inflation is lit. annmarie: he thinks jay powell and the doves are going to have to at some point start to talk about tapering. we need to look. . it is also what is happening in texas boosting the prices due to the arctic cold swell hitting not just the oil market and the shale patch with wti, but natural gas, electric power. one trader said it is beyond a black swan event but you had alexander novak coming into the fray talking about the fact that he said oil markets are balanced. convenient now that prices are above $60. which will help russia balance their books. >> let's reflect back on wet nordion said. the current breeze is set to strengthen into a gale f

the u.k. yesterday evening. it is all second half loaded. i think we will be relatively cautious this year, and we will not look to amend the dividend policy with buybacks, but we will take a view as we get toward the end of the year going into 2022. manus: you talk about lower credit losses, and we touched on this couple of times. can you give me new bandwidth on what lower means, and where will you see that material improvement? >> if you look to 2020, we had credit losses of over 80 basis points, over $8 billion. we can see that in the next couple of years to 30 basis points. quite a material drop. we previously talked about a normalized range of 30-40 basis points. we are double top end of that last year. i would ease surprised if we got to the top and this year, but starting to trend down materially in 2020 one and falling further in 2022. manus: if 2020 was hijacked by covid, are your team concerned about the melt up, is there a risk in these markets we should be more cognizant of? ewen:

at the moment, the u.k.certainly one of the leaders, so in many respects, i think a lot will have thought that the u.k. would be an underperforming economy coming into the gear as a result of some of the brexit transition, but actually, the leader on the vaccine is clearly making a brighter picture for u.k. optics in the months ahead, so i think there is something in that, and certainly we are seeing a little bit of that in the currency market as well. guy: the story over the last few days has not been about vaccine, not about virus. it has been about what is happening with gamestop, etc. do you think this should be left to run its course, all of the market turbulence we are seeing right now? mark: absolutely. it is something we have seen many times and we will see many times in the future. i think that the desire to get rich quick won't go away. there will always be times when we see individual assets ramp-up in price. but i don't think what we are seeing here is really systemic. of course, we saw a retrace

the u.k. has already lost billions of dollars worth of stocks and derivatives trading and it's now warning the e.u. against forcing financial businesses to move within their new borders and costing the u.k. trillions as a result in a speech to parliament bank of england chief andrew bailey said he is concerned brussels will introduce new legislation or special penalties in an effort to force banks and dealers to move clearing activities into the euro zone he added quote quite bluntly that would be highly controversial and it would be something we would have to and would want to resist very firmly so joining me now this fashion is hillary ford which a board member of the british american business is association now hillary the e.u. derivatives market is worth 681 trillion pounds are there concerns that brussels is going to take steps to force these financial businesses to move out of london and within their own borders in order to get their maximum benefit from all of this. well pleasure to be

the u.k. is taking risks, going for the first dose, the big 12 week delay causing consternation when first announced. but now data supporting that strategy. the u.k. certainly delivering, 25.5 is the current rate. the u.s., 18. the e.u., it exposes a huge difference within the region, compared to say, denmark on one end and what we're seeing elsewhere around europe, particularly france. that is starting to show up in the data as well. but the u.k. is what focusing on. monday, boris johnson will be announcing a potential reopening of the economy and a return to school for the children, and we will find out when we get to go to the pub, potentially as well. the u.k. has done this by taking a few risks. are they worth it, and has the data that has come out actually turned out to be the way to go? status is only -- sam fazeli from bloomberg intelligence wrote a piece this morning outlining the efforts the u.k. has made. walk us through how the u.k. has delivered when it comes to the vaccine progra

the u.k. is stepping up testing to stop virus variants from spreading up to 10 percent of positive tests to send to labs for further genome analysis. in the global fight against co that 19 is mutations that are preventing the next great challenge and here in the u.k. authorities are taking another fight directly into people's homes. they're doing door to do the testing in areas where limitations have been found to go to identify cases before they have a chance to spread. it was just one case of the south african variants found here in this community that launched this door to door testing scheme but the concern is that one case could just be the tip of the iceberg ordinarily only a small amount of positive tests to screen to mutations meaning that when they all found authorities here a cracking down hard it's thanks to genome sequencing that authorities can pinpoint where. the u.k. is the world leader in sequencing analyzing 10 percent of positive covert samples for the emergence of new varian

with the way the vaccination program is going in the u.k., does it make it seem the u.k.my does not need negative rates at all, or are there too many other structural headwinds, like brexit? arend: i think they are optimistic. i thought lagarde was surprisingly optimistic. i think on their horizon, this really matters through they can't do anything about the next three to six months but on their horizon this will move the needle. i think the u.k.'s interesting, they closed the window on themselves. the assumption was that all of this stimulus that the government wasn't fomenting would expire in march and april. the stamp duty, the furlough, the government guarantee loans. and if the government does not extend that, the assumption was that the bank of england, completing this review would come in and maybe start to compensate for the lack of support. but they told us yesterday, that the earliest is august that they could do negative rates. at that stage, if these numbers continue the economy will be booming. so it's closing the window which is why i think you are seeing wh
