Spokene lacqua exclusively with the hsbc chairman and got his view on the impact of stimulus in the United States. There are some who would argue that inflation would be a good hang. Mean would be a good thing. That should mean Interest Rates would begin to rise. Zero are near zero rates are very difficult for him a policy perspective because theres not so much flexibility. Riskegin to get more of a car again and savers begin to see some reward for their savings. A risk curve again. You can argue both sides, and economists do. Our special coverage of the fed today starting at 6 00 p. M. London time. Lets discuss the prospects of the u. S. Economy, both monetary and fiscal. Guest joins us here on set. David, great to see you here. Im primed and ready on the bloomberg. Tell me your thoughts about what the focus should be as were looking to the fed this afternoon to give us their guidance. On expectations around unemployment, or what are you looking for . See ifwere looking to they recognize anything that has , not predicting any kind of stimulus out of the trump administration. I think they will maintain a sober tone and remind people it nothing is actually happen. We dont know what is going to happen or to what degree. Right now the previous set of dots were assuming two rate hikes next year. For the first time in a long time, the market analyst and the fed are all saying the same thing next your. Were skeptical that Something Else is going to happen preview you can find people inside jpmorgan who believe we will get three or four rate hikes next year. Are going to get this very week First Quarter of Economic Data . Weve had five years in a row where seasonally adjusted data a clear pattern of weakness in the First Quarter that cap the fed on hold until the middle of the year. Anna its been fascinating to see 2016 develop in a way that , its not what it looked like at the end of the year. Lets hold our thoughts on the fed there at a moment, david. Lets get you up to date with hads happening, weve numbers breaking from the , with profitler coming in at 2. 80 2 billion euros, in line with the estimate of 2. 8 billion. The ninemonth sales in line with the estimate at 57. 9 versus 59. 8 estimate. The key factors going in, how much is the push online really helping here . How much has growth in the United States ramped up and how much have discounts eroded sales . There is the ecommerce push and credits we says that still only about 6 of sales, and also the push into the u. S. Credit says that is still only about 6 of sales. Operates across 90 countries, so were always looking for information on currency swings. The pound, the chinese renminbi, the u. S. Dollar and the pay so all of that impacting. Lets leave european retail for the moment and get back to our conversation with david. We were talking about what impact is trump going to have . , theres at trump conversation about inflation to be had. This brings together all kinds of things that can push up inflation generally. With the bart chart, the price of brent crude rising here. There have been all kinds of other things even aside from trump that could influence inflation higher. When the key things people need to focus on is the increasing health of the Financial Sector one of the key things people need to focus on. Money supply is starting to expand. Both the you cast u. S. And the u. K. See signs of improvement. Just talking about some of those is welcome news to see some of these ending globally. Theres been such a Huge Movement and surprising on the political front. When the history books are written a few years from now, 2016 will be the year the commodity bear market ended and emergingmarket underperformance ended and the year that deflationary impulse and shock receded. Significantlyill impact the investing environment Going Forward for the next two years. Anna you welcome the end of this deflationary influence. Ive heard it elsewhere, but then we had these comments suggesting fears around a 3 yield on the u. S. 10 year. Were not there yet, we are at 2. 45 . Concerns about the stock market and the Housing Market and liquidity and corporate and junkbond markets. Would you be concerned that those with those levels . David is slow compared to where it used to be in history. If they are rising because inflation is getting out of the feds control, of course that would be a problematic issue for a lot of markets. If it is rising because theres a healthy labor market and robust domestic growth, that is a completely different story. I think theres a lot of difference between 2. 5 and 3 . Question mark even with the fed hiking two or three times next year, when we get to 3 or not, and what damage it will cause. This is something weve been talking about internally. Everyone assumes the Housing Market will be a source of strength. Housing starts are still depressed, etc. , but Housing Affordability is stretched across the nation. Higher Mortgage Rates that you will get from the backup and bond yields just makes that problem worse. I wouldnt be surprised if housing is a little soggy next year. Already youve seen a bit of tightening of financial conditions. Currencies are up, Interest Rates are up, nothing has happened yet. Anna we will see if we get any comments on the tightening brought about by the strength of the u. S. Dollar from janet yellen later. Here are some of the other highlights for your day ahead. At 9 00 a. M. London time, we get london italian inflation. U. S. Mortgageter, applications, and still in america at 1 30 p. M. U. K. Time, we get retail sales. We will bring more from that exclusive interview with hsbcs chairman douglas lit. We take a closer look at his views on the Incoming Administration of donald trump and the regulatory landscape. We take a look at the prospects of the nations corporate earnings. Plus 1000 miles under the sea. A former advisor on tensions about a power cable delivering clean energy from iceland to the u. K. This is bloomberg. Anna welcome back. A live shot of hong kong where it is currently 2 20 in the afternoon. 4 ,ang seng is up by outperforming the rest of the asiapacific markets which are fairly flat. Here is a Bloomberg Business flash. Elion is in talks with another party after Johnson Johnson ended talks for a potential deal. This as the wall street journal elion is int act talks with another company. Morgan stanley has offered as much is 5. 5 billion dollars u. S. Ar taps group, setting up potential bidding war. The bid open the deal to other mergers. Target has failed for the second time to persuade regulators that it could unwind its business without havoc on the broader Financial System. The lender is banned from buying of wells fargo doesnt come up with an acceptable socalled living will by april, assets in its brokerdealer and nonbank units will be tapped. That is your Bloomberg Business flash. Anna thank you very much, juliet. Hsbc chairman Douglas Flint help right help drive europes biggest bank and if he prepares prepares to step down, ages has much less to contend with including the u. K. s exit from the European Union and the election of donald trump. Withine lacqua sat down town for an exclusive interview ask if wall street will if donald trump will deregulate wall street. That was not a good period our biggest risk is our industry. You dont want a part of the world where people are able to do things with much less capital than is economically advisable, because we are all exposed to each other. With who has the lowest standard is bad for business. What we might see is some moderation of reporting rules which are onerous in terms of so on. Y, systems, and there are multiple different ways of reporting around the world. Relaxatione some heoker, i guess he had has a lot of things on his mind. Francine does it impact european banks and put you in a much worse position . Do you think regulators in europe would look at what is happening in the u. S. . I dont think they should. Europe has to make a decision as to what kind of an Investment Banking capability it wants or whether it simply wants to import the skills that exist in wall street and say thats fine, we would rather not have the risky activity, if thats the way this judge, i think that would be a mistake. One of the other issues that is particularly in the context of brexit, is that we , andntering a world where wholesale activities, the u. S. And the European Union have agreed that they are equivalent, which is important in terms of doing business in each others markets. The u. K. Is in europe, so at the moment it is equivalent. The u. K. Has left europe, and over time moves away from thinkan regulation, i unlikely but possible. The u. S. Could change its regulation and youve now got three systems when you had one. The fragmentation of the global framework i think would be expensive for our customers and it would be systemically riskier than bringing everything together in the way that it has been done successfully since 2008. Anna you can catch the full interview on saturday at two 30 p. M. London time. A lot more to come throughout the day from that interview here on bloomberg television. David is still here with us from jpmorgan asset management. Theres still a lot of conversation about all trump and what it means to bank regulation. Very topical for the european Banking Sector which still has problems so many years after the financial crisis. David besides all this national stuff, there are discussions of just had ad they meeting in south america where they were trying to hash out exactly the kind of models they should be using to judge their risk, etc. I agree with the hsbc chairman, i dont see the banks themselves wanting to have massive to regulation. There is a question over the complexity of the regulation. Cut down the complexity of the regulations but actually raise capital, go for a simpler but more capital intensive model. We dont really know. Over in europe the banking regulations there are dealing with a more fragile Banking Sector. From yesterday we heard moodys in terms of the outlook, talking about the losses that will erode capital, a lack of confidence because of the Political Uncertainty at a time when they are trying to raise capital. David this is the result of weak and anemic growth for a number of years, a Financial System that was to heavily weighted toward banks in the first place and the nonfinancial onlynies very focused hoping to get their capital. And of course the new rules which were supposed to protect the Public Sector Balance Sheets and now its causing more trouble than they are worth. Anna they have to work out the details. David, thank you very much. Up next, more from our exclusive interview with hsbc chairman Douglas Flint. Thats coming up. This is bloomberg. Ive spent my life planting a sizesix, nonslip shoe into that door. On this side, i want my customers to relax and enjoy themselves. But these days its phones before forks. They want wifi out here. But behind that door, i need a private connection for my business. Wifi pro from comcast business. Public wifi for your customers. Private wifi for your business. Strong and secure. Good for a door. And a network. Comcast business. Built for security. Built for business. Ways wins. Especially in my business. With slow internet from the phone company, you cant keep up. Youre stuck, watching spinning wheels and progress bars until someone else scoops your story. Switch to comcast business. With highspeed internet up to 10 gigabits per second. You wouldnt pick a slow race car. Then why settle for slow internet . Comcast business. Built for speed. Built for business. A warm welcome back to daybreak europe. His 6 30 here in london. The dollar against the yen not moving all that far right now. Said day and we are waiting for the fed decision on Interest Rates, long anticipated and much expected that we will get a hike in Interest Rates little bit later on today. A new edition of daybreak is now available on your bloomberg and your mobile. Lets look at some of the top stories that it made it into todays edition. The cover story is the u. S. Equity rally. The dow buoyed by optimism that an all but certain fed rate hike represents a strengthening u. S. Economy. To what extent the fomc updates , more than the actual moving Rate Decision that has been expected for some time. One guest saying the deficit you may climb to 3 next year and it would spell the end of the bull market for bonds and punish stock and Housing Markets in his view. Saying they will raise rates more aggressively in the years ahead. On actelionuses in and the takeover talks that exist around that business. Johnson johnson has ended talks for a a takeover deal. The newspaper says it is in talks that could ion at as much as 30 billion. Lots to talk about as we wait for the fed to give us the results of their deliberations. Details about with moving in the markets, kind of quiet as we wait for the fed. , but let me take you to my first chart. Yields sliding across global debt market including the treasury market after the boj increased. The curve flattening as well for jgb, dropping 7. 5 basis points. At the moment were at 0. 79 . The boj took this action due to the sudden rise in yields and because of concerns about further changes, according to an official. This is where have seen a lot of action. In the equity markets, it is pretty quiet. The msci asiapacific index premuch unchanged. Energy stock some of the best performer the msci pretty much unchanged. Materials the worst performers as well. Cover a little higher on some supply concerns. Investors looking ahead to the fed meeting, that is the big thing today. I wanted to look at the trade rated dollar. Indexade weighted dollar is the strongest since 2002. State street says the surge may toward the potential for a more rapid tightening cycle. Higher yields all bad for gold and as the fed does gear up to tighten, we see gold trading near a 10 month low. Gold prices have dropped this quarter. Its the worst performer after sugar on the bloomberg commodity index. Thank you very much. Lets talk about whats going on in japan. Japanese corporate sentiment has improved for the First Time Since june of last year. Confidence among large manufacturers rose to 10 from 63 months ago. The results bolstered by a fall in the yen which weakened against the dollar by the most since 1995 last month. Francine lacqua spoke exclusively with hsbc chairman Douglas Flint and asked him what worries he has about china. Is, in anue in China Economy of that size and complexity, can you make a position change from a heavy industry Infrastructure Investment led export led driven,to a Consumer Technology savvy research and Development Economy swiftly . The transition is underway. Big steps have been taken. Heavy restructuring is under way. The population is supporting the transition. That is reflected in political support. But it is a massive undertaking to transition the economy. But you can see that the research side, the consumer side, the tech side is going very strongly. In the chinese firms have are beginning to invest in lower wage economies in the same way that other businesses used to invest in china. Theyre going into vietnam, myanmar, into africa, and effectively replicating the stage of development that they went through in other countries and Building Infrastructure to create trade flows. Youre trying to do something , but china has managed it extraordinarily successfully so far. You can see what they report, many think there may be other elements in the Investment Companies that are yet to be recognized. , think it is less relevant managing them impairment is really about can you manage it in a smooth way without causing disruption. China has not borrowed heavily from the rest of the world, so it is an internal issue. Can you manage it without causing disruption and unrest and an economic slump . So far they have done it. Im relatively confident they will continue to do it, and i think their model is different from ours. It is difficult to say they wont do at the same way as it would be done in the u. S. Or europe, but they know exactly what they have to do to manage the recycling of capital efficiently, but they can do it. Francine do you think investors are underestimating the perils of bank qualities in china . The value of an asset simply put depends on the cash flow the asset can generate. That, more than anything, in many economies, depends on successful Economic Policy and no known disruption to that. If you suddenly have an economic event like these closing of shale gas in america that disrupts the market, or the decision in germany to move away from Nuclear Power, you have a disruption to peoples expectations of the future. If you dont have disruption, then asset values should be broadly around what people expect them to be. So its those disrupting events which are more about political that economic events that are unpredictable. Francine the chinese trinity of the reserves, currency, and outflows. It clearly is a complex equation. Net exporter of capital, which is really important for the rest of the world and for the diversification of the chinese savings goal. Clearly they want to manage it where severe volatility in the currency makes people nervous about their ability to control things. They have a combination of market tools and regulatory tools and so on to do that. I think again from my side, we tend to extrapolate single Fund Movements more dramatically than they would internally. But you are absolutely right, its a challenge to manage all these things. China is becoming one of the major investors in the world, and thats a very positive thing for globalization. Francine china is offering restrictions for pulling out of the country. Is that impacting your Growth Strategy or is it impacting your ability to grow . Way our big investor in china. Francine you are hiring in china . How many . Over the next several years we will be hiring a few thousand ourle to balance out investment strategy. The rate of development depends on the economy and a number of other factors, but we are very positive about what we can do in southern china. Theres a huge group of in honge speakers based kong. Theres a great opportunity to maximize the economic value of that region. Anna you can catch the full exclusive interview with douglas flat starting friday at 8 00 p. M. London time and on sunday at 5 00 p. M. As well. A lot more to come from that conversation throughout the day here on bloomberg television. Still with us in the studio is david stubbs. We heard douglas went there talking about the transition that is underway over in china. Incoming u. S. He administration in china, we dont know the details but the rhetoric suggests its ever increasingly important. David i think china has seen the writing on the wall about this for the last few years, not just for the political atmosphere but for consumers across the western world. They saw benefits of pivoting away toward more domestic sources of growth and they are starting to do that. From industryy and manufacturing, Industrial Production and consumption. The interesting thing about the chinese stock market is the transition is already happening. Software is at 32 . Three years ago it was only 9 . Youre already buying more new china vanke old china. , china in many ways is a microcosm of the way that emerging Market Equities have changed in the last few years. This is much more of a tech the mastech play that it was four or techyears ago of a domestic play than it was four or five years ago. Its a different animal than what it was five years ago. Anna how concerned are you about the way china can rear its head and destabilize Global Markets . Have quite us in their piggy bank to play with in terms of supporting the currency. Can is something that destabilize markets. You talked about the concerns you have going into next year about the u. S. Housing market. Others are concerned about chinese debt and thats becoming a big topic. David there are two big things with china, one is their movements in the currency. Why the most positive things to happen in the markets in the last 12 months is that people have learned not to care about whats going on with the chinese currency. It falls and rises. Markets dont need to worry anymore. I hope the new u. S. Administration will put an end to that. It has fallen away at last 12 month and that is a very positive ink. In the background, people are constantly talking about the debt. Its a very domestic issue. China isoing on in building toward some sort of crisis in a few years time. They are increasing debt at a very asked pace and the funding side of that, its where they get the money, the liability. The liabilities are increasing in very complex and opaque ways. But years from now if it keeps going it could be a problem. Anna lets turn to japan. Be inarts of it seemed to line with estimates but a little bit of a resurgence around bigger manufacturers. The moves in the yen against the dollar. Manufacturers are focused on exports and therefore they care very much about the currency. The stock market moves with it. We think the currency is going weaker. At a time when the u. S. Yield curve is rising. That is the tactical story. The structural story is completely different. It has nothing to do with the Interest Rates and everything to do with the changing Corporate Culture in japan. And you see success there, because lots of investors speak skeptically about where is the other arrow, it is missing in action. Are you really confident that problems like immigration and all thatthe workplace, will be able to be delivered . Find faultcan always with any reform program. Immigration is the key missing part of what we have had so far. Is stillployment rising. Under the surface, the japanese economy is very strong. Has the high r b spend, and this is an issue about measurement as well. Gross domestic income has been going up 1. 6 year on year for the last few years. That is why unemployment is so low. Issue fork at the big the last 10 or 15 years, it is japanese government debt. Bloomberg, gdpur japan gdp in japan has stabilized over the last couple of years. They havent done the latest tax hike because they dont need the money. That is a sign of the underlying sense of the economy. Who holds it matters. David its almost all domestic. Hugeank of japan owns a huge chunk of it now. This is not worked out for any investor. I dont think it is a major issue for the foreign investor. Those looking for genuine Economic Transformation can always find it. Numbers are expecting out from the Retail Sector today and will get further details of the retail story. Dara. Sales advancing at some may be skeptical about the potential for online sales in the clothing industry, then invested large amounts in it. David both the retailers and consumers have to get their head around this. Everyone wants to go and try things on and hang them up. The shoeshine person is the only person who comes to me. Shoppingof working in do take a little bit of time to permeate through the retail landscape. Youre starting to see a generation of shoppers that is not just happy shopping online and from there smartphone while theyre doing five other things at the same time. Anna there are interesting developments ahead for retailers. Collapsing commodity prices, week Financial Systems, those things are gradually going away. What is not going away is the Competitive Pressures up globalization. The demographic set of gun Interest Rates down over the last 20 or 30 years, its not just about Central Banks or the recession. Its about structural changes in the economy. Thats why i dont buy this enormous bear market in treasuries that will cause a huge rise in yields and disrupt the economy. The 10 year fell the entire time. That was called greenspans conundrum. Where are about to get the conundrum again. Anna thank you very much for your thoughts, david stubbs from j. P. Morgan asset management. Coming up, powering down and heating up. We talked to one man whos betting on icelandic hot springs as a cleaner alternative. Better late than never. The fed is expected to deliver its first rate hike of the year today. Investors ask what is the plan for 2017 . We put that question to the hsbc chairman Douglas Flint in our exclusive conversation. More of that conversation with francine and Douglas Flint. This is bloomberg. Anna welcome back. This is a live shot of new york. Its 1 53 in the morning. Futures flat at the start of trade. Later in the day we will see what happens when we hear from janet yellen and her team at the at omc lets talk about clean energy, and the u. K. Is phasing out coalfired power stations. Seeking backing from teresa gate theresa mays government to build a 1000 mile long undersea cable that would provide the u. K. With power from iceland. That speak to him now. Onused to advise the mayor private equity pigeons and has a private equity background. Lets talk about this super cable, it would be the longest in the world. It sounds exciting, but what is it about . Its about taking unlimited amounts of geothermal and hydropower from iceland, under the sea and bringing it into the north of england where were also looking to build a cable factory. That would provide about the same as a Small Nuclear power station. Complementsthat wind and other types of power that tend to fluctuate if the wind lows to strongly are doesnt blow it all. So we are replacing the Nuclear Power station. Energy minister ask if we could have four of them. We said lets get one going first. But it is quite an undertaking. Anna why not go to scotland, the cable would be shorter that way. The geography. The first is the lack of onshore capacity in scotland. Theyll need any more cables going in behind it. Secondly the International Sovereign wealth Fund Investors are looking to be major financers of this. They are concerned about political risk. They are looking 30 or 40 years out, and clearly there are lots of from wings in scotland that over 30 years is not a risk they want to take. Anna brexit of course is also a political risk, if you could put it that way. I know you were in favor of the brexit vote and you have seen thanks go your way. You have also been a donor to the conservative party. Are you happy with where things are going . Yes, i am. I went to a drinks party a couple of nights ago and im convinced that teresa has got her mind set on brexit, so thats obviously a very important thing. Shes brought in some very competent people to drive that through, and they are very determined to drive that through. The party seems to have fallen in line behind the new prime minister, which is obviously a very important thing. Anna i know the decision between a hard or clean brexit and a soft and transitional one, do you think we are on the bright on the right path . I dont recognize those terms. You either have a brexit are you dont have a brexit. The and soft are the terms remainders are using. Its just brexit. Anna thank you so much for speaking to us. Up next, we talk about the fed a little more. We will get thoughts on the fomc. This is bloomberg. Anna asian Stocks Holding steady as janet yellen points to deliver the high cost of the year. Return to the forecast risk in regulation. In an exclusive interview, hsbcs chairman says he does not see president elect donald trump rolling back regulation. Our biggest risk is our industry.

Light touch regulation, if you can have the firmest standards. Large andiment among you fractures improves since june last year. What does the positive momentum in ford boj stimulus .

Economy, fiscal and monetary coming together. Pete nelson at ubs, good morning. When we sit and look at what has been happening to u. S. Equity markets among arguably but since the election of donald trump but something seems to have that a fire under them toward the end of the year. We see the dow at the levels we saw yesterday. Within a whisker of these crucial landmark levels. How excited are you about u. S. Equities, the end of this unit and next . Guest there has been a review for trump has been positive reflation. The bond markets have moved even more. We have seen huge inflows of you look at the equity etfs into the u. S. , we have seen tens of billions of dollars common post data election. We have just started to see money coming in. U. S. Investors were sellers [indiscernible] peopled expect like most that the fed was not tightening rates again today. And we will get two more hikes next year. We are there is a tentative increase in braids. What mr. Trump means to fiscal ill see, the jury is out but there is a potential for some fiscal reflation. Anna with the unknowns around donald trump in the mix, the expectations from the members of the fomc about where rates will be next year out into the future. What kind of moves do you think we are likely to see on the dot plots . It does seem to be a focus for investors heading into this meeting. What kind of moves will they give us when there is too much uncertainty about donald trump . They cannot move on expectations on inflation. There may be the risk with a little more. You only need two or three members to move and the average. And medium. Moves as well as that changes the policy. As you rightly say, the inauguration in january 20, nothing has actually happened. The hard data is what they need to look let look at. Maybe there will be inflation expectations, that is the one thing that really moved. If you look at the inflation expectations, those have jumped. They were rising already but they jumped up postelection so they could make a commentary around that. As you say, we do not know what the fiscal policy will be. We do not know much that will go through and we do not know the effect on the economy yet. Anna what kind of effects will the higher Interest Rates have . We have the u. S. 10 year at 2. 445 . Worried about 3 on the tenure because he is worried about what does to junk bonds and the overall economy and equity markets. Do you think 3 , does that, what impact does that half, does that slow the economy significantly question market is not high by historical standards, is it . That matters is what level they are starting from and if they are rising. That is ok for equities and if they are rising at the speed they have ripped does reason in the last week sick and be troubling. The level is still relatively low. For equities i do not think it is yet a problem at 2. 5 . As you get two or 3 and above, maybe. There are these aid back loops into the economy, stabilizing measures. U. S. Mortgages tend to be along the end of the curve and the cost of those mortgages to u. S. Consumers has gone up in the last month or so. That will perform some modest drag on the economy. Anna even away from trump because we do not know the details of his policies, i have this chart here which is around the inflation seen. This is inflation but away from the trump story. This chart. N find this shows china ppi on the rise. A quite Seismic Shift we have seen in china ppi. We have rent crude leading higher. And analyst said 2016 could be the year that we rubber as when we saw an end to the deflationary impulse being passed around the economy. What are your expectations round inflation and how do you invest around that scene . What the key thing you have got there is energy. If you look at the fallen energy we saw at the last two years, it was a double ace affect base effect. We are up [indiscernible] are going to have this huge inflation coming through in q1 because of energy and immune and if you look at thed we have had a one percentage point drag from energy to the headline inflation over the last year or so and that will fade and it will fade and restart start to reverse. Inflation will come back with inflation in the eurozone class close to 1 . We need a little bit of topline growth. We are bullish on the energy sector. It is one of our key overweight and that is partly because he will see this strong Earnings Growth extra because of base effects but also dividend yields. You have a 6 dividend yield for this year for energy in europe. That is the highest of any of the sectors, it is overtaking the banks because the banks have rallied so yields is come down. You look at energy as your biggest yielding sector with some decent Earnings Growth in 2017. Anna one of the things in the chart was the oil price and the other was the chinese story. We have the news about credit expansion in the chinese economy. The broadest member measure of new lending rebounding as the government pumped more credit into the Financial System to support the economy. Rebounding, if the economy trends to slow below 6. 5 , the chinese authorities will bring it and let more money in. Nick if you think back to the beginning of this year, back to january and february, february completee market low, concern over chinese hard landing, chinese banks, all these concerns and concern over the u. S. Slowdown and recession. A lot has changed in 11 months and what happened is the chinese responded aggressively and opened the spigots and put on liquidity and sold property, liquidity exposed markets and industries booming in the second quarter. They had to close it down a little bit. I think they are finessing these quarterly moves in gdp and you are right, as you get to lower levels, they can increase liquidity and he can increase liquidity into the economy and things like property. Anna thank you. More thoughts from nick nelson when we come back on bloomberg daybreak europe. Up next, happy new year. Hear what hsbcs Douglas Flint sees in store for the economy. More from our exclusive interview with him. This is bloomberg. Europe is in a sad place. Low growth, it broken banking system. The essential point is that 80 of lending comes by banks. A complete inverse to the u. S. There is some real sense of resolve to go early in italy to solve the banking issues. The president of Morgan Stanley speaking with bloomberg about europe. Lets get to the Bloomberg Business flash. Chelon was offered 27 27i billion dollars. Sanofi. In talks with the move sets up a potential bidding war. Shares soared in sydney trading after the opening. Does fargo has failed to for the second time to persuade regulators that it could unwind its business without wreaking havoc on the broader Financial System.

Chairman of hsbc asking him what he expects to see in 2017. Respects is good for banking business in the sense that people think carefully about what they need to hedge and how they should position themselves and what kind of contingency facilities they need badon the other hand, it is for economics to the extent it slows down people making holdingnt decisions and back on Strategic Options because they do not quite know what will happen next. Anna lets get back to nick nelson, still with us here in the studio. We talked about your picks about the things you like, energy, for example. Im drawn to one of the statements in your report. 2017 will be the first copper year for european etfs proper year for european etfs. Nick if you look at the last six years the bottom up consensus numbers, Earnings Growth started at eight to 15 and every year finishes at zero or negative. The average downgrade was 12 percentage points. If you look at that consensus are up atr 2017, they 13 . The average downgrade has been 12 so if you extrapolate that suggests nothing again but we think you will get honest growth. Returns and the stock space rub up against the reflation story we have been talking about in the bond markets . You are noting the link between, the concerns about two little inflation previously in equity markets. You if you look at europe and japan, these are countries that could do with more inflation. Lationok at the trumpf story that may help with the domestic economy. Japan nikkei would be bigger beneficiaries and that would help Earnings Growth. Anna europe big beneficiaries of global trade . The dax. Many, second language may not be so positive if we have a less freetrade view coming through which we do not know. We have not seen the agreements, we do not know will come through. If that is a globalization that would be a negative for emerging markets in particular who are more dependent on trade in europe but europe as well, exactly. And at you like energy and autos and construction. Where do you like autos and construction . Nick it is a play on fiscal expenditures and maybe it is discussed in the u. S. , maybe in europe. You see this move toward populism, maybe government is giving these elections we have in the next nine months in europe and all the big economies create you might see government have 2. 7nd we trillion of interest trucks are going on in asia. Companies that benefit from that could do quite well. When we look at autos, this is the opposite of a cyclical sector. We are thinking autos manned in europe has been strong and the in europe. Anna what about the u. K. Space navigating brexit . Inflation pressure is holding. And underlying the pressures building from the oil price and the input prices story in the u. K. This could be something that undermines investment in u. K. Corporate or not . At the ftse look 100, 75 of the revenues are from under overseas. Cpi in the u. K. , over 1. 2 but the input prices are running and the double digits, 12 are 13 , and those are coming down the track and our concern is this puts pressure on you wages for the consumer when we go into 2017 so that would be a drag on domestic stories.
