This is an important issue. It is really impressive that when there is an injunction that state for 30 days it has been extended to 45 days by the judge today. It is really new territory. I think there is a lot more to come. I think we are going to appeal. We are going to appeal. The judge is extending its we can do this properly. It is a fundamental issue of whether or not intellectual property trumps public health. This discussion is not over. In my view, we believe very viabley that this is a process. We will fight it. Ceo well. Know the what are the talks like between you and them . You always have conversations with people you know. We are making sure it the doors are open. Role is one of reaching briding. Erik is the door still open . No, you see this exclusive legendship right now. I think at the moment they have to abide by their exclusives. Erik what is it that makes that company so attractive . There are two reasons why. First, we are in the rare disease area. We understand specialty care. Of pulmonary hypertension is relative to us. Second, it is a very highquality company. We know it from the inside. It is really innovative company. I wouldpoint of view, say that as the head of r d you have to be humble. No one knows everything. You have to open up to the best. To me, they are one of the best. Erik with that, i thank you. The president of global r d with. Anity sanefy vonnie a fascinating interview. Erik schatzker, thank you. Just to let you know that alibabas ceo has just entered trump tower. He will have a meeting with the president elect today. Several executives as well a meeting with the president elect.

European at the point of dropping below eight feet psychological level. We have more from hong kong. Their stockpile felt by billion dollars. It is down 323 billion this year. Drop was in line with forecasts, but they are still down to a fresh, fiveyear low. In june 2014, the reserves had topped off at nearly 4 trillion. They have now fallen for 10, consecutive quarters. Economist said that falling below 3 trillion will not adequate will not really affect the reserve adequacy, but it might have a psychological effect that will induce more market pressures. It has weakened 17 in 2016. It has profited authorities to reintroduce capital control. Mark taking a look at where the markets are trading as we approach the close the close is just minutes away. This is bloomberg. Mark live from london and new york, this is the european close. Stocks finishing the session lower today. There isnt much appetite for risk today. Technology gains, banks, oil, real estate, insurers, declining. I love this chart. With rising bond yields seeing a real rally in the german stock market. 23 akers help lifting by you can see the green circle right there. It means the lowest ever valuation relative to the stoxx 600, which is what the chart is. Dax ande line is the the purple line is the relative. Trading your its highest level since april of 2015. Only 7 below the record. What a turnaround its been. Another wonderful chart here, showing you how the pound has risen percentagewise since the 30th, just after brexit. He will remember that date. These are the key speeches from Prime Minister theresa may since brexit. The reaction to her Conference Speech wasnt taken well with the interview yesterday from sky downsending the sterling to its lowest level in 10 weeks. Of immigrationol and lawmaking, the priorities, even if it means exiting the european signal market, she said yesterday that leaving the eu will be about getting on the right relationship, not getting its of membership, with sterling falling to 121 against the dollar as the government struggles to distance itself from brexit. Look at that. Thats key, it was the low today. 123 was the low in october. The 11th was the lowest since may of 1985. She did say today that she hasnt moved towards the socalled half brexit. The britishby press. Keeping an eye on a bench in china, the start to 2017 continues and shows no sign of abating. The central bank weakening the fix the most since june, set to post the daily move of. 5 or more in four of the six trading days this year. Thats a magnitude only surpassed 11 times in the entirety of last year. The reserve fell for its sixth straight month in december. Dropping to a fiveyear low of 3. 1 trillion. Reserves staying above the psychologically important levels of three dollar trillion. Keep an eye on china, arent we, vonnie . Vonnie absolutely. That reserve is pretty important. At the moversook in the United States of america. A couple of records on friday, including the nasdaq 100 and s p 500. Mostly on semiconductors, good news out of nvidia. Not so much for the s p 500, being dragged lower by energy companies. Currencies i think you mentioned the main one, the euro trading yen, stillday, the below 117. Brent crude, going to take a look at some of the treasury buying in the next board. It has been three weeks of treasury buying, liquidity is truly back in the market now and that is showing up in the 10 year yields. It reached a low after the post fomc and then we saw some sunning on friday on the payrolls. Outperformance, 2. 97. It is weakening the lira. We should keep an eye on that one. A traffic nightmare in london, commuters had to find other ways to get to work after thousands of London Underground workers went on a strike. The union rejecting a lot lastminute offer and services were severely reduced. As many as 4. 8 million passengers per day were affected.

Donald trump is facing a risk with members of his party unless he gets tougher on russia. Lindsey graham said that he and john mccain will push for sanctions against russia for hacking the president ial campaign. Lindsey graham says he wants to hit russia in financial and energy sectors. Mitch mcconnell has been meeting with the president elect. Lets hear what he has to say. Senator mcconnell further down the road towards repealing and replacing obama care. We talked about the Senate Agenda and willingness to go when we get down there. Will you be fulfilling that process . Everything will be properly vetted, as it has been in the past. Particularly with the National Security team being in play sunday one. [indiscernible] thats Mitch Mcconnell, coming away from the meeting with donald trump, talking about repealing and replacing the Affordable Care act and vetting procedures. He said that he is confident that everyone is in that there will be six or seven National Security employees in place this week. Clearly an ambitious agenda and a short meeting, i would say. It was about a half an hour. They got a lot done. Treasuries advancing across securities after they said the country will need a new trading relationship with the eu after its withdrawal. Of the Global Economic picture, our next guest says the u. K. Is far too small. We have the director of asset , 280 4on research billion in assets under management. Hi, chris. To what extent do you take Political Risk into consideration when it comes to Asset Allocation . Obviously its a factor, but how big of a factor is it right now given the events next year and the political events we have coming our way . Chris the interesting thing is that consumers around the world have shrugged off risk. Whether it is brexit, consumers carrying on spending, or america, where you have seen a very relaxed far more so than the media, to the election of donald trump. Or italy, where the Prime Minister lost the referendum. Again, Consumer Confidence didnt seem to matter on jobs. Its interesting how we think of this as being very important, but to the consumer on the ground it is less so. That said, it is much more important for fx and the exchange. Mark looking at mexico, the u. K. , that is where it is playing out. Currently is the impact, isnt it . In our view there has been an organic revival around the world over the last few years. Train of the eurozone, which has always been the laggard. It has managed to shrugged off , shrugging off the referendum so far, shrugging off all the concerns around japan and the netherland election, etc. The economic outcrop is actually pretty decent. Itself,the stress shows as you say, is in fx. If you look at a chart of sterling, it has just been one way since the 24th of june and really, for the next two years you would have to have some high members of attention. Chris, tell us what assumptions we might have that we should throw out the window for 2017 . Chris the two big assumptions that we have, firstly, are that the economy is going to do pretty well. That all the western markets are going to surprise to the upside. All the data that we have seen so far this year and over the last three months has been pretty positive. We think that that is set to continue. The organic trends are still pretty robust across Asset Classes and across economies. Thats including equities. The second big trend, we think, is actually the we have seen peak Political Risk in europe. That is something that i think is quite not consensus. We dont think i dont think that mary le pen is going to win the french election. We dont think we will see such large moves in the political spectrum as we saw in 2016 and therefore we have seen peak Political Risk. So, will traditional correlations hold . Can we allocate according to the traditional correlations . Or should we be thinking differently . Bonds, thats an take class where you can the view that the economy is doing pretty well, the view that the Political Risk is going to subside, and then of course that means that one of the reasons to buy u. S. Treasurys has gone and it is going to present a headwind for the u. S. Treasury market. Although we may be positive on the risk assets, we arent nearly so positive on u. S. Treasurys. What are the opportunities . The big business assets, but the other when its interesting is gold. We think this year that we will increasing politicization of central banks. Central banks will be forced to defend their very gung ho policies of the last few years. We have already seen a lot of pressure, for instance, from theresa may on the central bank of england. We have also seen donald trump critique to federal reserve. The ecb also coming under a lot of criticism from the germans. All of that, from now on, is going to work to the advantage of gold. Gold is going to reflect its increasing political politicization and it will help to support the price. Stand high onl u. S. Interest rates. Thats what held it back on the fourth quarter. The expectation of more rate hikes. Correct. So long as its a gradual drift up in yields rather than a sharp spike, then yes, gold should be able to make progress in that sort of environment. Vonnie even if we get a new fed chair . Even if we get a new fed chair, more reason to buy gold. If we get a new fed chair its probably a symptom of the increasing politicization of the federal reserve, meaning that the goto asset class will be gold because investors simply wont trust the u. S. Dollar if it is being more more closely politicized. Mark chris cycled into town and he told me they only do that when theres a strike, cecile again in two years. Chris mahon, director of Asset Allocation research at airings. Again. Home thanks, chris. Coming up, heading back to detroit for an interview with don gilbert at the International Auto show. This is bloomberg. Vonnie new york and london, im vonnie quinn. Mark and im mark martin. This is bloomberg markets, the european close. Time for look at some of the biggest business stories in the news right now. Health,nsurer, united agreeing to purchase surgical point 3liates for two million. Surgical Care Affiliates is a chain of outpatient surgery providers. They already have achievement through primary care practices and urgent care facilities. Expanding the pet care business, a deal at 9. 1y billion dollars including 1. 4 billion in debt. There is already a division focusing on health care. President elect donald trump is thanking chrysler and ford for investing in the United States attwitter today, looking their plan to invest 1 billion in michigan, adding 2000 jobs. He also mentioned the expansion in the u. S. Instead of building in mexico. That is the latest Bloomberg Business flash. Vonnie besides automakers, quicken loans has been a major force in the revitalization of detroit. Up with him caught and asked what he expects from the trump administration. Yountil he does otherwise, got to taken by his word and he saying that we need a lower Corporate Tax rate so the we can invest more into capital structures. Like he was talking about. Said he wanted to involve resolve risk and the trillions of dollars overseas that all of these companies have over there. To me that is one of the biggest things, where you cant i dont have an exact number, whatever it is the u. S. Capital sitting overseas that wont come back into the country because we want to tax twice when they have already been taxed. Somet to figure out a way, compromise, something. He talks about which im happy to hear the crazy regulations in overregulated environment. People get confused and think regulate all just the business and therefore things will be better. Well, theres a massive cost. If its too protect people, fine, but if its just the whim of a bureaucrat . You got a find a different way. Quicken loans is probably one of the most highly regulated. We understand that, but we didnt do subprime lending. By about 50ated different state regulators. I will give you the craziest example. We have got five states where they require that we have a presence in the state. We have no reason in the world, we are all online with our technology, so we pay five people in five different states to sit at a desk and stare at a wall for 40 hours a week for no reason. That person could be doing more productive things themselves. It just doesnt make any sense. Thats an extreme example, but you have an outofcontrol department of justice as well, just, you know, just going after businesses and shaking them down. Gotten on the wrong side of that. Mortgage fraud, you wouldnt settle. Thats because we didnt do every anything. Fha loans, what happened there was the doj said that which they should go after the top 15 or 20 volume producing lenders regardless of the record. Our record is the best by multiples. The next best quality lender to us we are the largest in the country. So, number two defaults at like three times number one. We have been diligent about that. Heading up billions of dollars in the business on the insurance fund. 450,000, itsf like your you go. They take out those loans. There are some people that get in front of them and i think some kind ofe right to come in and you will be afraid and a lot of the problem is that it might be businesses or people, if you are not wrong, then you shouldnt settle, because all you do is feed the monster and make it more expensive for everybody. Twice do you have some sort of hope or expectation lets assume Jeff Sessions if anybody is a reasonable human being, democrat or republican, they would look at this and think its absurd. We are hoping. That was the founder and chairman of quicken loans, dan gilbert. Vonnie, its pocs. The battle is next. Making a record yield, its the preferred measure of inflation suggesting that it was too far, too far. This is bloomberg. Vonnie it is time now for our battle of the charts, where we take a look at the most compelling charts of the day and what they mean for investors. You can run the function featured at the bottom of your screen. Kicking things off this monday is abigail doolittle. Abigail one of the big stories last year was the big bond selloff in the month of november. The value of global bonds was lost and on that quarter we saw the 10 year yield take its biggest move up ever, 85 basis points. The question is, can it last . This chart suggests that we make the a reversal of that big move up in yields with personal consumption expenditures with the favorite measure of inflation from last year trading higher and in november taking a big dip down. Purple and blue we have the 10 year yield and the fiveyear inflation swap, basically a forward look at inflation. Both of those have gone higher. The dip in the pce may explain why there has been a gradual rate hike but it may also suggest the inflation view with the pce. Back to 2 or somewhere in the neighborhood. You can see it in this chart. Love how 2 yield would be shocking. Abigail yes. Vonnie really illustrates the tiny range we are talking about. Abigail really tiny range, but a lot of conversation that would come about if it happens. Right, mark, what have you got . Mark 10 days in a row, the mark of the longest winning run the benchmark index, but thats not what im talking about. Im talking about the record run because eight out of the 10 days it has set a record. This is the chart where the is up by 14 , boosted by the pound weakness, which is lifting the export oriented heavy index to new highs. The higher yield curve is boosting back. The trump reflation trade is boosting commodities. Oil resurgence is boosting oil companies. Many people know, so why is he harping on about the path of the ftse in pounds . Cant you talk about it in other currencies . This is for you loners. Look at this, the purple line is the ftse in euros. Guess what . Its higher since brexit. Yep, thats the 0 line, up by 7 10 of 1 since brexit in euros. Yes, of course the ftse in euros plunged after brexit by roughly 15 , but it has done better because the pound has done better against the euro and the ftse has continued rising. What is interesting of course is the ftse versus the dollar, but even that is doing better because we are just now out i 6. 2 on ftse and dollar when after brexit we were down by roughly 15 . So, for all of you loners out there who are off about my always talking about the ftse in the pound, there you go. It aint as bad as it seems. 2984. Level that was an rnc performance. Absolutely amazing. Today, you get the monday crown. Abigail, im very partial to stays like this, where you with fiveyear five year for year and bring it back. Mark i was inspired by la la land, and the golden globe. Take a look at where equities finished today. This is bloomberg. Vonnie its noon in new york, 5 p. M. In london, 1 a. M. In hong kong.
