Happening. I will focus on the u. K. The real story coming in, the markets along with Boris Johnson starting to look at may be no deal brexit. As a result we have the fish found against the u. S. Dollar, we will we have the british pound against the u. S. Dollar. A big move there. That is one of the factors outting the ftse 100, it is forming the rest of europe but it is but there are other factors. M a is one of them. Deal buying a business sold to blackstone and now being bought by the london Stock Exchange. That will put a whole different class when it comes to financial assets. Its trading up there are other deals as well. A big week for the Global Economy with rates decisions from the boj, Federal Reserve and bank of england as well as Economic Data from the u. S. , germany and china. Lets get to someone who can help us size up investor sentiment. He comes to us from boston. Lets begin with the Federal Reserve, do we see basis points decrease and is it warranted . It is the wood versus the should and will. The fed has to 25 basis points because they finally had a test twowe are going to 25 do 25. Should they . If they could travel back in time they would have gotten there stories straighter andr stories straighter keep policy unchanged. To risks they were pointing in june havent materialized. But the fact is Market Participants have considerable easing priced in over the course of the year. What i think they should do is cut, say this balances the risk, lets just get on with our lives. Vonnie is the economy in so much danger that we need a 50 basis point cut, would that make the president correct . He will be unsatisfied with the extent of ease. Im not sure the economy needs 50 basis points but i do know when Market Participants are pricing in 75 to 100 basis points of ease that if you drip feed a 25 here or there, they will extrapolate and it will get overdone. Participants sound like they want to do 50 this year, we are close to the majority in june and some of them have shifted. If you have to do 50, why dont you get it over with . If you do 25 and another 25, youre giving them two points to extrapolate that line and they will get over their skis with how much easing they expect. Guy vince, good morning. Forcing investors to buy overly expensive assets . Vincent i think Central Banks in general are forcing investors to buy overly priced assets. 13 trillion dollars worth of sovereign debt or so have negative yields. In some sense i think it is the bank of japan and ecb that is forcing the fed to be more accommodative than the u. S. Economy would warrant. Right now, u. S. Treasuries and federal funds rate are the two nails sticking out and the fed theyhammer them down so are not into much variance with their colleagues. Guy where do you see the biggest opportunity for mispricing lie . Highyield, money is pouring in. That market looks really stretched right now. But money keeps pouring into it. The s p trading around 3000. You look at the valuations there. Do you see the biggest outliers right now . Where you see the biggest opportunities . If you look at cash balances, people are waiting to put money to work. Vincent i think you are right. The way i would frame it is there is something wrong. Either the december fed contract that has recession fighting style easing by the Federal Reserve with nearly 100 basis point cut in under six months is right and they are pricing the and the pricing of risk assets is wrong. The equity prices are too high a highyield spreads are too narrow and there is going to be a pullback, or Market Participants in the fed fund futures are wrong and its just not going to deliver nearly as much easing as currently built in. I think it is the latter. I think the fed will disappoint and when the fed disappoints in the data youuse of will see volatility, up and a up and volatility come a backup in yields. Vonnie we were tightening last thing we need to loosen substantially even though one point 5 saw yearoveryear and it doesnt seem like wages are feeling any kind of inflationary pressure. Vincent you are right. Six or seven months ago, jay powell was saying in order to sustain economic expansion, we will have to raise rates a few more times and just a couple weeks ago he said in order to sustain economic expansion, we will have to cut rates. Vonnie we are going to hold on for a little bit. Us, lotscking with more to get to. In the meantime, we want to check in on other news.

This is bloomberg. Guy from london, im guy johnson. Vonnie this is bloomberg markets. Lets check the markets. Mixedare looking at a picture for u. S. Equities opening in the last 45 minutes or so. The s p 500 and the red down around 3 10 of 1 . , a cut all but assured when they come out with their decision on wednesday. A much greener picture when you come over to europe. The stoxx 600 still in the green. The big story, the ftse 100 rising 1. 8 heading for its biggest daily gain since february of this year. Surging after the Stock Exchange group made that bid. A very different story when we get to the pound, take a look at this, we are looking at threemonth pound implied volatility. Weve seen it around 1 that hits a twoyear low. Volatility spiking again. At quite as much as before the last brexit deadline. Boris johnson, the new prime minister, his team really talking of the possibilities of a no deal over the weekend. We are seeing something of a mega m a monday. You can see a number of those deals. I mentioned on the Stock Exchange spiking on that 27 billion bid, rising around this having its best day after the Dutch Company said it wants to buy. An rising as pfizer wants to create a generic giant with them. One quick final chart i wanted to show you. , over look at u. S. M a the past year, it is lagging the s p 500, that tracks all the Companies Going through a deal. Guy protests continue in hong kong over the weekend. Violencecondemning the , a spokesman for the Hong Kong Affairs office saying it has gone far beyond the scope of peaceful march and demonstration , undermining hong kongs price parity and touched on the bottom line of the principle of one country, two systems. No Civilized Society under the rule of law would ever allow acts of violence to take place. We are still with vincent. Storyput this hong kong next to the trade story and im just wondering if these are overlapping. Im wondering how much attention investors are paying to both the hong kong represents a huge source of access to the wider world for china, one that is slowly fading but still hugely important vincent i think you have to connect the dots, no question about that in a couple of ways. Number one is hong kong is the exit point for capital from mainland china. It is less important than a decade ago, and that is warranted, but it is still an important conduit to the wider world. About theis is also status and prestige of president xi. If he has a in calculus President Trump has. If you are in battle on other fronts, it would be a good time to have a victory and what you could declare victory on his trade between the u. S. And china. Guy how much attention are you paying to whats happening in the u. K. At the moment . It went off the radar for Global Markets a little while ago but the pound is really aggressive today. Is it back on your radar . Vincent it hasnt fallen off the radar, but in any time an isortant relative rate consequential for fixed income investors. Is bottom line though is it not a Global Economic story because the u. K. Represents less globally. Gdp it is however an important market event because Boris Johnson seems to be barreling towards a hard brexit on october 31 and when that happens, that will be concerts what consequential for some important relative prices. 1. 2267 so weng at got a bit of a substantial move off of this change in posture. How much is this . How much is it good for europe to see that there is a slight sliver of a chance there will be a no deal brexit . Its still not good for either side if there is a no deal. Vincent its more than a sliver of a chance for no deal, at least when you listen to Boris Johnson cabinet over the weekend who were uniformly raising those probabilities. I think it is tough in terms of game theory aspect of it, Boris Johnson bargaining with the eu wanted to make the strongest case possible that he is prepared, nonchalantly almost, to leave without a deal. Is it isthe problem opening in his opening address to parliament, he talked about the backstop as being undemocratic. Its hard to figure out how you can compromise on the backstop them then if the mere existence would be undemocratic and to give up on the backstop from the eu perspective means throwing a well behaving member of the eu under the bus. The eu has along, said its not prepared to do that. The thing about game theory is it doesnt work unless you if you dont put up a strong front that europe wont believe its a possibility. Feel severen not economic pain if there were to be a hard exit . The reality is the estimates of the cost of brexit have been all over the map and in some sense i think Boris Johnson is having an easier case convincing the public of no deal brexit because so many scary stories were told early on. I think there are two alternative views. In trade theory, it is location that matters. If they wont move the u. K. , they are still going to be trading partners, there will be price affects. British goods will have to get cheaper from the selling point in order to deal with all the extra costs they will pile on as a result of not being on the eu. Costuch more substantial will be the severe disruptions of Global Supply chains and that probably is going to be a hard hitter early on, but over the medium and longerterm, we should get past it. Guy final quick question. If the u. K. Looks to have a rate cut and fiscal push at the same time, how significant an effect would that have an for what extent would it compensate . Iscent the important part clarity under trading positions. If you are accompanying with stimulus, that is going to probably augment the weakness in , anpound and by the way important pivot would be tried to get a deal with the u. S. On trade. Find some friend somewhere to for thee is a vision u. K. Integrated in the Global Trading system but not appointed as much to the east and the continent and more to the west.

It is merger monday. One of the deals on the table, pfizer combining its business line such as lipitor with generic drug maker mylan. It is unusual type of deal, but as of now the market is treating pfizer like the acquirer. Pfizer is spinning off and then combining its off patent thatwith mylan in a deal mylan shareholders will get 43 of the new entity and pfizer will get the rest. Guy why is bigger better here . It depends on which drug maker youre are asking about. Challenges isd the u. S. Generic market has flailed over the last decade. The company lost three quarters of its value since 2015. They are dealing with legal liabilities as well as price erosion and so about a year ago today they launched a Strategic Review to find relief to that pressure. Pfizer has seen loss of exclusivity and are looking for new ways to leverage growth. China and emerging markets throughout asia represent a viable opportunity for growth. Vonnie what does old pfizer do once it has spun off this part of its business . Obviously it will focus on the highermargin type of innovative business, but does it have drugs in the pipeline that will keep it going . Absolutely. The ceo has outlined a new strategy with company focuses on the highermargin drugs, cancer therapies, vaccines. They are looking to move off panted off patent drugs off the Balance Sheet and onto those newer high market therapies. Guy is this something that could be replicated elsewhere . Riley i dont know if i have the answer to that question as of now. Mylan and pfizer have unique challenges. Vonnie the generic drug makers are facing the silly we may they deals. Did they come up with this transaction . How long have both companies been thinking about this . Riley we are working to find those out. It sounds like closer to today the deal has come together. Is theone thing to note mylan chairman will be acting as executive chairman and he said on the call that he will be keeping a tight grip on the new entity that he will be leading future m a and other strategies, so there is a lot to watch in terms of how management shakes out. Vonnie we are waiting on a new name for the company. By 2020 our thanks to riley griffin. Guy lets talk about another deal. 27 billion worth. The london Stock Exchange group shares soaring on the back of the takeover of the multimedia new news agency. Joining us now to talk us through it. The market loves the deal. Trading up, why . This feels a get plan b deal to me. They are doing this deal, why is it a great one . They have been upbeat on these transactions. 27 billion and this will really transform the global data provider. Excited about this actually transforming itself in becoming a more global data company. Vonnie what are the main benefits here . Benefits main diversification of trading business and also the fixed income and an extension of the ,lobal footprint of lse especially to the americas. This comes together in terms of geography and products offered. Numbers are quite amazing. Reuters sells this to blackstone, that looks like a good transaction. Blackstone flips it and sells it onto the lse. Overpaying and i dont believe it is, or did blackstone just get an incredible deal when it bought it . We dont know the financial details with the deal yet because we dont have the obviously with all the blackstone tried to buy, so they are not very interested in the business. Seems like a lse longterm partnership, transforming something different. In terms of value we will have to wait for the financial details that can be published. We should note bloomberg competes with refinitiv to provide financial information. Talk to us about market share here and in europe. With this transaction, lse will be one of the biggest global data providers. In a market where there is not much competition. There are not much details known yet and they will come during this week, we will see what was really the market. Guy thank you very much indeed. Joining us on the lse deal. Brexit uncertainty is having an impact on the aviation sector. Nd an impact the cfo told bloomberg the airline had been forced to cut contributed to a 21 drop in earnings. Has been in the last quarter. There is a lot of capacity in the german and austrian market. Due to the uncertainty around what may happen with brexit. We are continuing to grow strongly, a very good cost base for the rest of the markets. The structural cost advantage of everybody else which is enabling , but i think longerterm and the strength of our Balance Sheet means we are in a very strong position to participate, particularly as we look into the winter with this low environment i think there will be a number of consolidations. In the opportunity they will reside rise as the result of that. In terms of that consolidation i guess thats how , that Us Bankruptcy takes out the over consolidation. What role will ryanair play . We will continue to offer the lowest fares and costs and our objective is to grow to 200 million customers by march of 2024. That will give us a market share of about 21 in europe.

Eastern the markets are factoring in a rate cut from the fed meeting this week. How big will that cut be . Futures in focus next. This is bloomberg. Vonnie live from new york, im vonnie quinn. Guy im guy johnson, this is bloomberg markets. Vonnie time for the stock of the hour. Guy heinekens or stock of the hour. Emma chandra is here. It is falling today, headed for its worst day after the earnings that came out which showed profit was a lot worse than expected. Came in at. 3 way below analyst estimates. Rival, ab its biggest inbev. Heineken stockhe retreat from a record high on friday and wide in performance. The really big cost was input. Osts, particularly aluminum you dont have to say aluminum anymore. Up thecally they set rise of the cost of alum any him aluminum. The fall of Aluminum Prices we see, this is something the cfo talked about on bloomberg earlier today. The import cost, that is something the input cost, that is something you largely see coming. If you are talking about aluminum, which is the most important raw material in terms of amount. Hedging was a problem there when it came to aluminum cost. But they see things improving. Structure structural problems for heineken. The proliferation of breweries around the world and changing habits. That is true and they did see a bit of a pullback in the u. S. Craft beers have been doing a lot better. Nevertheless the company maintained its guidance so a number of analysts and investors saying they would have to perform extremely well in the second half of the year, not to make any mistakes if they are to meet that guidance. If consensus growth is to be met they need to grow about 10 in the second half of the year and see some comparisons in the second half of the year. Benefitany expecting to from the currency shift. Stock, thes the start of the year in a low back in january of 75 now trading north of 100. We are talking abut a very big drop but it has been on an these foodrun, all and Beverage Companies which have a big yield have done well. It has done extremely well through the year. Whyas such a big miss today we are seeing such a big drop when you compared with its rival , this has more of a concern creeping into investor sentiment. ,uy after such a strong run maybe a little bit inevitable. Emma chandra, thank you. Vonnie time for futures in focus, joining us from the cme is partner at the carlyle group. Scott, we have the 10 year yield , does that experience any volatility before wednesday and the fed decision or are we set for the week . I dont think we will have to much volatility. The 10 year yield i think will be a slow grind lower. You cant fight the fact that there is 13 trillion or 14 trillion weighing on our longer and. I think that is what the fed will try to fix by cutting rates but im not sure im on the rate cut group because im not sure the economy is doing poorly. I would be judicious with the rate cut, i would throw them around like manhole color Manhole Covers rather than dimes. We dont have a lot in our quiver to stave off any sort of big selloff or downturn. I think they have to be very careful. Other then there is the set of thinking, saying if you are going to do 50 or more, why not do the bulk of it now because the market is looking for it. Scott, if you are all in the economy doesnt need a cut but we are getting one anyway, is there a way to play that . Is there a trade . Because the fed has said what they will do, it is largely priced in. I think what i would be doing is lets be careful what we wish for. We have now forecast what the fed will do, some folks are banging on about a half. I would say ultimately what happens what if the stock market starts to selloff . That is the scary perspective. I dont think anybody is thinking the stock market will stream higher. I would be looking for defensive plays against negative action because once we have it priced in and they say what they will do anyway, there is nothing new that will hit the market. We could have some negative ramifications and once youve used once or one of your rate cut cards, will you use another to stave off a downturn . Defensive taking some asset price production now. Vonnie on oil we are not seeing much snow and Much Movement at the start of the week. Out there,ssues are what are you looking for oil to do in the next five days . Im looking for it to lay there. It is been difficult to get it going. We have had some geopolitical issues but its not getting out of bed like we thought. We have seen that with some other commodities. I would say because of the efficiencies in the fracking business. Back in 2008 when we were looking for help from china to get our economy going, 25 of the jobs created were due to be part of the oil industry we have in the states. Its big and if its efficient, it will move these things when they said 15 or 20 years ago it was a big deal. Vonnie thank you for all of that. Guy we will carry on the conversation next. The european closes coming up and Morgan Stanleys chief strategist will join us. This is bloomberg. 30 minutes left in the european trading day. I am guy johnson. Vonnie this is the european close on bloomberg markets. Happening inhat is the u. K. , Boris Johnson is tweeting a no deal brexit is his default option. We went through 123 earlier.
