If you look at this chart you can see the spot rate of the egyptian pound. That has gone up. Manus there we go. Tracy there it is. And we have the unofficial rate. These are undeliverable forwards. You can see the spot rates converging with the unofficial rate very quickly over the past week. A shock for quite a few currency traders. Its just a question of where we go from here. Manus there are a couple stories here. Do do you look at russia . Do you look at argentina . Where do you look for the roadmap in terms of the market . The stocks have rallied, up over 80 .

This comes as most he and Hillary Clinton took the drum to support with just a few days left before the election. Liecy Bloomberg News ju joins us with the latest. What happened to trump, and what reaction can we expect when u. S. Markets open on monday . Turmp wasapparently at a Campaign Rally and was removed from secret service. It was unclear at first what happened. It looks like there was a man rushing towards the podium and someone shouting gun so instantly someone from the secret service jumped on stage. Nothing ended up happening, but it sets the stage for how crazy of an election cycle this has been. It is hard to say exactly what markets are going to do. The next 48 hours before people head to the polls, that is what they are going to get. Manus we are looking at these images right now of those moments in the auditorium where trump is rushed away. We have this map up. The swing states florida, tracy and i were channeling al gore, jeb bush this is what election 2016 will be followed over, a few key swing states and Electro College with. Electoral college votes. Julie this is why everything is so uncertain. A lot of swing states going one way or the other, now they are a lot closer. People have been phasing in this clinton victory for quite a while. Mayot be the case not be the base case. Markets may react differently if trump were to win. Tracy i know that you follow Analyst Research quickly. What are we saying two or three days ahead of the election . What are the big banks saying . Banks still all have clinton as their bank scenario. Have said that turmp none have said that trump is the base case. But if clinton is president and republicans hold on to congress, so it is still divided congress, a lesion a continuation of the same old. Banks are trying to price the markets. Some would say there would be a kneejerk reaction if trump were to win. Some said you could see as much as a 13 drop in the s p 500. Others, a 5 drop, but a drop nonetheless. We have an article on bloomberg showing what to expect. And most of the time, what the markets do afterwards is just that. A kneejerk reaction, then they come back. Manus lets hope that history repeats itself. Here in the middle east, egypts government is defending its decision to float the currency, even worries about managing cost. The Prime Minister said he doesnt have the luxury to postpone these decisions, and cant take painkiller decisions. For more middle east economics editor joins tracy and i. The fx markets, the nondeliverable forwards. The fx market get ready for what does that mean . What is going to happen . Today thanks start trading the pound, the freely voting currency in the interbank market. There has been no liquidity, and the Central Banks said, okay, you control it. We know that the commercial banks hold together in cairo on friday, trying to come up with guidelines of trade and how to deal with pound, and sure those guidelines with the central bank. We dont know what those guidelines are yet. We will see today. Very few expectations. Even the central bank was expecting initial volatility until it can find its footing. It is new for everybody for us, for the next, for investors. We will see. Tracy we have the new currency regime in place, whether by choice or because it was essentially forced through economic conditions. Is egypt going to get its imf loan now . Alaa there are three main steps for the imf loan. We think they have gathered the financing already with the latest china swap deal. Second was to move on the fx. Third was to cut subsidies. They did that also on thursday. Thomas there is some wrinkle that we dont know about unless there is some wrinkle that we dont know about, in the next few days they will go to the imf. Look at that that is called drastic data egypt. [laughter] if you want a lesson on what not word thusmphasize the kh devalued their currency, argentina devalued the peso. Manus from investors that we talked to on this, if you interfere and say he will freely put the currency by intervention, then investors will start dumping your commitment. That is exactly when the black market comes back. A week later, it strengthened the pound. People would say, it goes up, down . That is the key test, if you will. People would be paying close attention to whether the Central Banks intervene, or decided by market factors. Tracy thank you so much, our economics editor for the mideast. You can get more on that on the rest of the days news on our digital destination tailored for the middle east, with reports and market data from the region, plus all of her reports, interviews, and special content all available online.

Manus next up on Bloomberg Markets middle east, the president ial u. S. Candidates enter the final days of voting. What are the expectations . This is bloomberg. Tracy you are watching Bloomberg Markets middle east live from dubai. Manus donald trump and Hillary Clinton continuing their campaigns to the crucial vote on tuesday. For the middle east, all eyes are on the presidency will mean for trade relations. One of the oldest families and glovers in the region. Family conglomerates in the region. Thanks very much for joining us. We talk about this question day in and day out. If trump gets into the white house, what does it mean for a major conglomerate like yours . Immediately there will be no effect. Power will be of in january. But this will affect many in this part of the world. What happens to the stock market . If the stock market goes up, fantastic for us. Eventually if it goes down, that will happen it will come to affect us. Aacy you are worried about general hit to Risk Appetite. Are there any steps you are taking to protect yourself from that hit . There really isnt unless you are going to take a defensive position. Wait, see what happens. Kind of like what happens with brexit. Tracy have you done that . Manus in terms of that cash, lets talk about it. You are going to cash. Unfold, see the world where would you be tempted to put that cash . Would you redeploy when value shows up in the u. S. , or u. K. . Mishal we are not traders or shortterm players. We look at the risk value in my product and industry, and we like to focus on that. For us, it is a longterm game. Whether it is a year or two or t en, it doesnt matter, its depends on the company we are buying. We will have a shortterm pain, possibly. But eventually this will straighten itself out. Tracy you studied in the u. S. You have joint ventures in the u. S. And in europe. How concerned about you are the general rise in antifreetrade, antiglobalization sentiment . Mishal from my past experience watching things unfold throughout the world, it seems every time people are in a position, they are idealists, and when they are in power, they are pragmatists. That rhetoric has been used by many of these candidates. I dont think it will come to fruition. You have too many bodies whose job is to protect the rest of the world from their idealism. Manus there was idea that trump would move toward the center in this election. Both hillaryok at and trump, they are both banging this antiglobal drum. Tracy they are tapping into the populist sentiment. Manus they are. The consequences for that have there are consequences for the rest of the world. The imf has a big impact on the rest of the world. Are you feeling any of this antiglobalization discussion going on . Mishal what happens preor post election are two different things. President obama for example said quite clearly, i am going to close guantanamo. And he hasnt eight years later. In the u. S. Will not allow him to do that. They are talking about what their constituents expect them to say. Postthat, they are going to have a problem. I am not worried. We survived george w. Bush. I think this should not be too much of a problem. [laughter] tracy one of your business is has to do with freight and shipping. One place where we have seen a bit of a retreat in terms of trade is in the shipping business. Have you seen that . And if so, what do you attribute that to . Mishal for us in dubai, we sit as a hub between east and west. For example emerging markets in europe or those in south korea, either if they hurt, we all hurt with them. I dont think anyone forecasted engine going what they are currently going through. Fortunately enough, that was to push conglomerates to take over their bases yes, i see a small dip. A small hurt in terms of the shipping industry. But in the longterm, i dont see this as a major issue. Manus we will talk a little bit more about your business interests around the world. Thank you for being with us. Stay tuned to Bloomberg Markets middle east. More from our guest when we return. This is bloomberg. Manus welcome back. You are watching Bloomberg Markets middle east. Tracy we were just talking to chairman of. Our focus has been on populist political risk. There has been activity in europe as a sweep of nationalist party. What impact would that have on your business . Mishal a lot more worrying than what happens in the states because that is closer to home, and a lot of her industries are directly based in europe. 2017, you have the french elections, which will be fun. They usually dont vote for someone, a vote against someone. [laughter] i am hoping it wont be a repeat. This month has been a disaster. Then again, as you mentioned, with the rise of the right, you see it in holland, france, and talk about it in germany it doesnt bode well from a political point of view. But from a National Point of view, i hope it wont have much of an effect. Manus something we focus on day, weng on every focus on the billionaires, what they have lost. You are in there somewhere. Does it create opportunities for you . Do you say to yourself, 50, the world resulting around 50 . What are the opportunities from the Oil Environment around 50 . Mishal the price of oil does not affect us in terms of what we are going to buy. We buy companies that we can have a longterm value in them. Something along those lines. Yes, we are going to look at opportunities. Click as low as the price of oil is, more people are willing to sell. That next easier for us rather than when things are going up. People tend to think it will go higher, and are more inclined to sell. Manus are you talking about asset sales . Mishal no, we focus on our region. Is centralorget, oil to this region. Why should we go outside when i have everything here . Tracy one of the reasons we like having you on the show is because you have this wideranging business, from machinery, oil, freight. Give us your outlook for the middle east in the next year. Are things going to improve . Mishal from a political point of view, i cant answer. Hopefully everything stays as it is. From the economics of it, again, because we were in the middle of east and west. Europe more than the states for us. If they start to pick up, we will pick up with them, as we are a court order for it. Are corridor for it. What people seem to forget is, i think it was in the beginning of this year, the price of oil was 26 . We are up 100 . We forget that. To 60, herehere to 70, here to 50. It is not going to get oil up higher, but it is good for business. Manus looking at the structure of the company, i a did saym that it work gets better, would you look at any of these businesses and try your business . No ipos . Any asset sales to come . Mishal more likely acquisitions than asset sales. Manus mishal kanoo. Thank you for joining us. A great perspective. Lets see how you are waking up during the week. Tracy it cut all have changed it could all have changed by then. Traders going west optimistic on growing less optimistic on the price of oil being cut. This is bloomberg. Checking in on first word headlines around the world. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton in the final rush of campaigning for the election. Both started in florida. According to some polls, trump has edged ahead of clinton in must win states including North Carolina and ohio, but the latest abc Washington Post poll shows clinton with a fourpoint lead among likely voters. Tobusinesses expected improve over the next four the fallout from brexit is expected to hit. Anufacturing has benefited they see consumption weakenings year over concern over the negotiations to leave the eu. And credit sweeties credit sse dan admitted that the hidesed bank helped him money from the irs. He says he deeply regrets what he did and accepts responsibility for his conduct. Bank of chinal has slammed with a 215 million fine for hiding transactions. New yorks banking regulator says the lindor of skewered deals by middle eastern, russian, and chinese clients and try to silence a Compliance Officer who raised questions about it. This after the bank was ordered to overhaul its Money Laundering protections. Ok. Oil is never far from our minds here in the middle east, and crude has capped its biggest weekly loss in three months. Cap has faded opec will production. For more, we have our middle east editor. We had a lot of noise is related to opec. What does it say about the cohesiveness of opec that we cannot even get positive chatter at this stage in the game . Chatter has been positive in the sense that they made that deal in algiers. Difficulty,ing thats correct, maintaining that and getting from that initial positive talk of making a cut to getting to the final deal. That is where the pickups are in the is will always be the biggest hurdles in terms of making a deal, getting people to agree on what the specific cuts will be. That is the real negative aspects coming out of this, that they have not been able to assign individual quotas and the negative comments we have heard, people wanting exemptions like a and iran, which will have big impacts on production. Gathering have the and then we are on the road after that and off to another destination areas in terms of the majors and the cuts they are making to are they reinvesting . Makescisions that exxon are we inching closer to a rebalancing . Anthony the common consensus is we are moving closer to a rebalancing. That comes from opec and the producers in the market. There is a since we are moving to a rebalancing. What people are not so clear about, when is that happening . Intoems like it will move next year. Thats not enough of an impetus to get people investing yet. 3 billion, 4 billion of cuts. Says that they do not expect more cuts. Would mac is saying they see those cuts continuing on and when you conduct when you include projects to bring oil is going to take out of the market spending that would have taken place through 2020. Ed morse is citigroup, we spoke to them on thursday, he said there will be a shortage of production when those projects seest come on, but he stimulus for pricing to be enough but there will be some sort of increase next year. The potential is there if companies see a threeto sixmonth stability of pricing. Towards the second half of the that would come november 30 when we have the big meeting in vienna, so we have a deal agreed on, will be shale focus shift back to as the swing producer on u. S. Stockpiles, cuts to investment, as you mentioned . Market people we talked to, but from the analyst in the company side, say there is balancing without an opec cut. They are imagining what opec would do if things stay as they are. If that opec cut does happen that will speed up a rise in the price. How quickly shale comes back we talked about the offshore production that has also been very costly there it higher price or is higher prices on a sustained basis may see investec bring more of that in those people are saying the stockpiles will put a cap on prices. They are not seeing that aggressive ramp up into the market and that is something that opec will be trying to look at. Lets find out where the magic number is. If they do follow anthony dipaolo, we will be joined at the hip. Number, 161,000. Will there be evidence for the fed to raise rates next month . We are asked to the dallas fed president robert kaplan. Robert caps on i think the 3, 6month averages of job growth are in the 170s. They are very consistent. I think this is steady progress to moving labor market slack. Inyou have a strong gain wages. Have we absorbed enough labor slack to generate inflation . Historically when you had this kind of growth, it would find its way into prices. A secular trend is technology disruption, meaning it is a harder for businesses to pass on Cost Increases in the form of pricing. Businesses have less pricing power. I will be interested to see how much of this wage increase finds its way into pricing. I think it will be more muted than we are historically accustomed to. Mike you did not put an explicit hint in like you did last year, but is there any reason to think that is not going to happen. Robert kaplan you know from talking to me, i dont like to speculate mike but i want you to. Robert kaplan we should be able to remove some amount of accommodation. I think this is a very gradual, shallow path. Much more gradual and shallow than we have historically experienced. But i think we should be removing some accommodation. But the path after that will be gradual and we can afford, i believe, to be patient. Mike are you saying the Market Reaction is enough priced in you will not get a tapered tantrum . Robert kaplan that is always hard to judge. I watch the market probabilities. If we were to move, the market seems to have some significant expectation of that. I think we need to be driven by , and that is the basis on which i believe we should remove some amount of accommodation. Plot put together at the last meeting suggest the consensus for the fed will be to increases. Two you will be a voter. Where is your dot . Robert kaplan i do not comment on number of increases or timing specifically, but i think the dot plot was very consistent with what i think is appropriate, which is a very gradual, patient path of rate i am sayingd what is the future rate increases will be very gradual. Just but still to come in the egyptians feely the pain of the decision to float its currency to read more on the country fell unprecedented move later in the show. This is bloomberg. Welcome back. You are watching Bloomberg Markets middle east. Live from dubai, i am tracy alloway. Lets get you up to speed with headlines. Egypt all governments with an unprecedented decision to float its currency and raise fuel prices. The Prime Ministers of the country does not have the luxury to postpone these decisions. Meanwhile, the world bank applauded the move, calling these ambitious reforms that would create jobs and boost in corms. Tracy and industry giant paper companiesng the receiving subpoenas. Dozenobe now spends two companies in two dozen drugs. The first charges could emerge by the end of the year. Manus a Turkish Court has sharply escalated president ertl dogans ident er they were the first members to be detained on raids on friday. Erdogan accuses the party of close links to the separatist ppk rebels. It enabled them to be charged with terrorism related offenses. Improvements in the labor market, emerging markets fell for a second week. For much more, here is our emerging markets managing editor, justin kerrigan. A record low how much further is the mirror going to go. Justin if you look at the it isst for the lira, even further and the forward markets is even more burress bearish. 10yearook at the yield, the stocks are at a three month low. The does seem now to be a consensus that turkey is we have seen a lot of what has been going on, obviously, since the attempted coup in july. There now seems to be this consensus it is beginning to unravel in a very negative way. Is this implosion the stock market job to, the worstperforming stock market is it too strong to suggest implosion. I am reading reports about the liability of the relationship between turkey and europe, and that is critical to europe as well. Voices inu hear europe, saying this is a country destroying its democratic institutions. Its about momentum here. If you look at south africa and brazil where there seems to be a certain amount of working it out said on in turkey, as i a moment ago, the unraveling seems to be happening and if it starts to impact economic policy, investors are simply going to head for the doors. At that seems to be what we are seeing the beginning of at the moment. Lets talk about emerging markets in general. We saw a little bit of Risk Appetite reduce. Isnt all about the u. S. President ial election . Or are other things affecting turkey forjustin example. In every country there are domestic factors to consider. As an asset class, its mostly the u. S. Election. We saw the improvement in u. S. Labor statistics on friday, which raises the prospect of a fed rates increase, which is good for the dollar, bad for e. M. , but yes, its mostly about the prospects of trump. Lets be frank about this and the uncertainty of what a Trump Presidency good look like. You see investors headed into the safety assets gold, precious metals, silver. Treasuries, the yen not the dollar. What cells often that environment . Investments, the emerging markets. Manus everyone is getting very skittish. Justin kerrigan there. Bankg up, the world applauds these moves to free up international funds. More on those measures. This is bloomberg. Tracy welcome back. Bloombergtching markets middle east. Live from dubai, im tracy alloway. Manus and i manus cranny. Theing us now, we have capital of dubai ceo. Thank you. We were waiting, waiting, waiting for devaluation. Dont worry 5 . Down the sky captain. Where do we go next . Is there more to come from the 45 devaluation . It is a float. It is how much the central bank will interfere in this. I expected to overshoot in the shortterm. You look at the evaluation, everyone is looking between the 11 and the 13, and that is why they started at the 13 level, but it overshoots the 16. Is it going to overshoot to the 16 . The government or the central bank are trying to get their liquidity from a black market. That is going to take time and there will be a lot of speculation there. And since you have a lot of demand and very little supply, you have rates still going on. I think youre going to be quite unstable. This gives to my question. We have seen previous devaluation attempts by the central bank. What makes this time different . Ahmed because it was a managed reallyand that never works, especially with a country that imports everything. This is a pure float. It really depends how much the central bank is going to interfere. If they really let it float, it will all be about supply and demand. It will be different if it is a free flood. So far, it is. Manus there is history to go by. A drastic debut. Egypt, the accolades it has been awarded it is the worst. You call it free float. I call it devaluation. Its performance on day one, a rather solitary affair. Lets talk about your positioning for egypt. You were underweight. Talk to me about whether you are prepared to shift gears, and more importantly, what way is the market weighted toward egypt . Its a very interesting question. Investors are positioned in egypt. When you look at africa funds, youre already positioned in egypt. I do not expect much more liquidity. Egypt has become much more attractive. There is a pool of money that can go into egypt, but it depends on how attractive the valuations are. , if you look of the market, it has priced in some of that and that is why we have been saying egypt is up from the. Anuary lows you can value the devaluation or float, whatever we want to call it has been priced in. How much . We dont know. But how much is it going to go from there. I think we will see the market if i was going to ask you are an investor and you want to get money out or take advantage of the enthusiasm around the devaluation, at what cost are you going to do that, and what will it cost to ahmed that . Liquidity and repatriate that . Lets think practically. In the an investor, shortterm i will take money out until i am comfortable enough ncb valuations are attractive enough and confident enough that if i put my money in, i will come back. I think shortterm we will see a bit of a selloff. They havewill hear done everything they hike to the gasoline tax, the cooking oil tax. Accessing is in play to the funds from the imf. What does that mean in terms of growth . What is the counter side to all of this, which is inflation . Some people are saying to me 20 . Where is inflation going . What are the ramifications of opening up the access to funds . Ahmed inflation i have always argued that everything in egypt has been priced into the black market rate. That is where the liquidity is. If were talking 20 , 25 inflation, that has already been there. Obviously you will see a drop in prices and prices will go up. But on the ground it is about 25 . Tracy we were chatting before you came on and you were in cairo what is the mood on the ground right now . Ahmed people are confused. If you looked at the media the day before the devaluation, they were trying to push people and push the story that rates are going to go down. Which helps them start from the 13 level. Tracy interesting. Ahmed psychologically, it helped people. But they expected a bounce and it didnt. It overshot. Theres a lot of confusion. That is not going to stabilize before the funds moved from the into the economy, which is essentially the banking sector. Manus its a huge transition. Tracy its a new regime. Manus its a completely new regime. Ahmed and they have to shift to the egyptian pounds. The mostat is probably of who aspect. On that, thank you for making thank you formed, making the trip. Tracy and i have a couple of charts for you. Have a look at this. The best run this is last week trump gives the white house, europe could fall apart, court we have a high in the United Kingdom which, i was reading theresa may needs to parliament to discuss the Supreme Court. The best week since 2009. What are you looking at . Tracy i looking at lets see. I have actually forgotten. Manus the vix . Tracy here we go. Rising steadily over the past i think it was nine days. Manus was that a record . Tracy we were talking about a regime change. You had subdued volatility. People get used to it and its finally popping a little bit. It could pop a lot more come wednesday. Nervous whenys get they say the longest on record. I grabbed my notes. It is. Ive mocked my brow. The longest streak since the 1980s tracy all changed. Tracy, listen, that is this additional Bloomberg Markets released. Im going to a dobby. Tracy might welcome me. Tracy we will definitely be live from the region somewhere, tired of food sticking to the pan . You scrape it and scratch it, you might as will trash it. Not anymore. Introducing gotham steel. A new nonstick frying pan made with titanium and ceramic. So strong and durable, metal utensils wont scratch it. It is like brandnew after every use. Even flames damage it. Everything slides around
