The comments come as global central bankers wait further wait further into territory into unknown territory. Guy picking up on that point, bloomberg spoke to imf managing director Christine Lagarde who had this to say on negative rates. If we had not had those negative rates, we would be in a. Uch worse place today with inflation, probably lower than where it is. With growth, probably lower than where we havent. Was a good thing to implement those negative rates. Guy she is a fan get but the ecb is discovering, it cant push banks to lend. European banks have boosted deposits at the ecb. Not necessarily the kind of policy outcome that we were looking for. For more now on the effect, lets bring in daniel morris. Bloombergs first word strategist, simon ballard. Good morning gentlemen. On one hand it is working, because we are about to hear from simon. The credit markets are alive and they are happy. On the other hand, the deposits are back in the central bank, not necessarily. Is it too early to make a policy judgment . Early and we too will never really know. We have seen that a growth recovering given where we are in the cycle and is expected to pick up. It is going to rise. Draghi will say this is what we did. I think people are right to be concerned about the negative impact. Is itimon, give us this is going to happen anyway . Simon with the Corporate Bond market has been introduction of the carbon bonds. The was the Corporate Bond broken . Arguably no. As it fueled and sent the market through the roof in terms of interest, a level of activity that christine has been huge. Bettingseen the abf 2. 5 billion. The largest in the eurobond history did the label of activity history. The late the level of activity. Investors chase yields down the quality sector has become a selffulfilling. Guy this is good. This is money going to function parts of the economy. Are seeing ise another distortion that we have added to the bond market. That is going to cause its own problems. Youre giving advantage to certain currencies. Money is not being allocated in the most efficient way but anyway that takes advantage of the policy. Second nearly, if now these companies to borrow, it is asked it is worth asking to what end . Pushing lending to places where it should not go. Now we are trying to unwind it. There seem to be guy what would it take to make you think it was going to work . Simon i think were looking in the wrong place for where solutions to come here it come. It is having opportunities to invest it did that seems to be a challenge for a lot of Companies Across the eurozone. Guy simon, youre nodding your head. You got to start somewhere. Every journey starts with a single step. We have had a lot of steps. Nevertheless, we are starting to get you got to get money into the economy. Imon lets take a step back it is not a question of credit issues. It is not a question of solvency the injection of negative rates more and more broadly suggest we have a problem with somebody did we dont. The french retailer has been downgraded from double be 2 plus. Minus two double be plus. It is being held on the banks balance sheets. There isnt is ok for me to have cheap funding. Are we going to end up in a situation where the market becomes that gap is going to become wider and wider . Simon i think we have gotten their. Much more is idiosyncratic. Analysis is much more important now than over the last 18 weeks which is been much more macro jib and. Macro driven. Challenging macro backdrop. ,hortterm, you probably could because whatever they are going to buy. Longerterm, no, you want to make sure youre not holding the baby with the bond water. Guy daniel, the idea of the negative rate is that still the we still do not know where the banks can lower their cost for your four years out. Isntta we have indicative of that formulation. The currency as opposed to lending. Weve been talking about the dollar, just the fact that europe is supplying more money. That might be the better benefit the necessarily the lending spurt. Guy we will put this up on the screen for you did we have the governor of the bank of france speaking at the event in paris. We will bring you headlines on what he has to say on the very subject we are discussing. We will come back to that. We will be hearing from this gentleman as well now. We make sure we will have all of what we need to know. Simon, thank you very much indeed. Indeed. Party, David Cameron with the key cabinet members says spending cuts were 2d. Well discuss that story next too deep. Will discuss that story next. Guy 44 minutes past the hour. Welcome back. Lets get you caught up. Here is the business flash with kumutha ramanathan. Mettha Mark Zuckerberg has chinas property and achieve. That came while the ceo was in beijing to attend an economic forum. Facebook and other foreign social media such as twitter are banned in china. Casino has had its ratings slashed to junk by standard poors. S p says the longterm debt rating was cut due to a weaker than expected earnings in 2015 and a loss of business as a result of disposal in asia. The retailer expounded responded. Will executive officer retire on december 1. One of the Largest International and sure will split his hold with thomas a bear, becoming dacosta did on ray maybe the front runner. That is Bloomberg Business flash. Guy. Britainsplit in conservative party worsened over the weekend. The support of the brexit unexpectedly resigned. The supporter of the brexit unexpectedly designed resigned. Quicktime resigning because i want my government to think again about this and get back to that position which is about being one nation. This is not some attempt to attack the prime minister. It has nothing to do with that at all here if i wanted to do that, i would have been clear. Guy a new study says leaving 100union my cost the u. K. Billion pounds in lost economic outputs and 950,000 jobs by 2020. I want to take you back to the beginning of the competition we had and talk about what is happening with the dollar did everything seems to hang around it. Lets look at what is happening with crude. The dollar story is front and center. Everybody seems to be interested in what is happening with Goldman Sachs. They are sticking to the idea that it is going to see three hikes from the fed this year. This is the chart that we got up on the bloomberg. Basically it is the dollar swap index. The speculative dollar this is the data, lets talk about with dan morris. Everything seems to hang around the dollar. Getting the dollar right is absolutely critical to your investment thesis. How do i make that happened back up daniel i think we want to look happen . Daniel having want to look at them printing the money that will weaken the euro to some degree. How far defense thats back how far the fed steps back. How comfortable they are with iron inflation. I think that is likely to persist for a while and we can work through the consequences in our asset classes. Well get back to the store dollar mode. Guy Goldman Sachs is wrong . Daniel it is a question of timing. Highestdid give me the ok. Give me the highest beads of trade on the dollar. Oil is one where we are going to see a lot of correlation. That is speeding through that is beating through to equity. We have seen the trade of the last few days. Long oil, short banks. Who is going to benefit from this . Who is not going to see any pickup and the benefits coming through . Latter is impaired the weaker dollar, all of the concerns we had about the exporters, some of that should reverse. Domestically, it is going to be less clear, the impact in terms of what you see in the price of petrol. Less clear from the sector basis, probably more evident at the higher level. Guy moneys been taking out of the european etf. Everybody and their dog was long european equities. Not so much anymore. Why . Daniel that explains the reversal that we saw in january was so severe that at the beginning it was such when you have so much positioning. I think one thing that is healthier but the market is you have more divergence in the views and we had the beginning of the year. You can have a story that is more positive for u. S. Equities versus eurozone. I think what we are looking at is with a weaker dollar, better for u. S. Equities. The longerterm story for eurozone is still there. Better Profit Growth potential than you have in the u. S. Ex line the question of when that is going u. S. The question of when that is going to be realized. Talking and saying the market ecb action very substantial. The priority very much to look at a credit market. He is saying the ecb cannot create conditions for a sustainable recovery could coming back to this notion that we need to see fiscal authorities doing more. What is interesting is the policy formulation does show the ecb is not done yet. There are things still to do. It does underline the ecbs resolve to tackled the low inflation that is currently being experienced within the eurozone. We are nine minutes away from the European Equity market open. We will look at the potential corporate moves which includes axa, the ceo and chairman will retire in september. Where is he going next . Guy welcome back. Six minutes until the market open it with stocks do we need to be paying attention to . Caroline hyde. Caroline i want to keep an i on this morning, because the gains are in the tune to 3 . After the rough white the rough ride we have seen, the chief executive could be set to resign. He is Marco Catalano discussing his resignation. Power ofll about the the vendee. Of vivendi. They hold about 24 . The chief executive of vivendi, the billionaire could become in charge. Reaffirming his group over telecom italian. He wants them to get out of brazil and focus on italy to if they do sell the brazilian unit, they could help stock help drive the stock price higher. Given i on axa keep an eye on axa. Did fromto their board here we can see that henrie de castries is going to be stepping down. Almostepping 16 years he has been at the helm of the company. Could he become the next chairman of hsbc . Thomas bluebell will become the next ceo. He is currently deputy ceo. Watch for that change. It could fall on the open it could fall the open it could fall on the open. S p has cut their rating to junk it all of this that from 10 billion euros worth which are in the green in terms of bonds which are in the blue. A lot more costly to raise more debt. Borrowing costs could rise if s p cut your rating to junk. Guy looks like the cac is going to be in an underperformer this morning going to be an underperformer this morning. Next. Guy good monday morning. Welcome to on the move your diane guy johnson. Moments away welcome to on the move. I am guy johnson. Goldman sachs holding fast to its bullish gains.

Less than about this open. Let me hand you over to caroline hyde. Caroline could we see money coming off the table . Risktaking and the risk aversion within the equity market . We are seeing dollar to reassert some of that strength as it taking strength. Is it taking money out of commodities . You said about this new entrants to the market. Cac you said will be the underperformer good we havent seen after all of that sway of Central Bank News coming out last week. Now just tentative cost is trading. It is easter week and we are going to have a shorter week. Only one stock is rising on the cac at the moment. On the downside, it is the miners did accept we are going to be digging into that story. But you 100 down by. 4 . Meanwhile, the miners, glencore on the downside when it comes to ftse 100. Keep an eye on the miners. They are being hit by the slump in metals prices. The dollar slump. Weve got the euro down. Ecb members once again should not go lagging there talking. The dollar. 250 on 1. 1250 on the dollar. Goodat that gold up by 1 keep an eye on oil. Down by 2 . Oil rigs increase by 1 . Worry about the supply side of the equation. Up. 4 . E, risk [indiscernible] worries about what that will do twoweek crops. Weakhat that will do to crops. The chairmaner of vivendi would like to see focus on ecb and get out of brazil. By one andccept down a quarter percent. Earlier ll leave henrie de castries will leave earlier than expected. Guy thank you very much. Let me take you to the map and show you what is happening. The wheel of fortune. A little bit of red care the best performer. A little bit of red. The best performer a little bit of red. Health care, the best performer. And the oil stocks that are getting shut down this morning. Financials are low. That is the axa trade we are seeing this morning. You can see where he goes. Let me take you to china and the chinese policymakers. Concern about a surgeon leverage. The conclusion that nationals peoples conference meetings to show chinas priorities showing growth for years to come. Development said china would do whatever it must to adjust the situation. All ourll strengthen our regulations and tamper risks to the stocks, bonds and foreign exchange. And make sure there is no risk. This is our bottom line. In jeff kearnsg in beijing. Another economic concern is what do they make of it . Message is there is a lot of risk out there. They are still deeply committed to the 6. 5 target. They have all emphasized they can do it and it is within reach for the next five years. That is the message from the president. Theyre all talking about this and this is something that has been emphasized over and over. They talk about the risk and one of the risks that we have heard about is the risk of debt building into the system. 250 of gdp is where the level is now. That is one of the key risks they are working on monitoring as well as risks in the most in banking sectors. Guy a thought about local government. How concerned are they about Government Debt . How much control do they have on the ability of local governments to raise more leverage . Is the key question. We do not know all of the details. They have not been laid out for us. There is a lot of different debt levels and different government agencies. The risk he sees in the real estate sector. He says the divergence between big city will stay prices and places like shanghai and beijing. Bankss directly to the this is something you need to be watching out for. This is something you need to monitor and make sure you know your customers. This is a pretty straightforward warning we heard during the National Peoples conference a few days ago. Guy great stuff. Jeff, thank you very much indeed. Jeff kearns, chinas economy editor. Joining us now, monaco asia. A. Joining us now by new wage bhanu. Rning bono bhanu i think the pboc is worried about leverage. Growth at any cost. Sometimes chinese policymakers speak this is a bank is worried about leverage. This level of per capita income, china has more compared to japan and the u. S. Good when you normalize it for the state of development, china has more leverage than any of these. If growth is a priority, i think is leverage is going to go high. How much growth will this be able to get . The Incremental Capital output ratio is rising. You require more credit to generate the same amount of growth here it leverage in china growth here it leverage its growth. China is leverage in going to grow. Id think they want i think they want reform but not at leverage is likely to go up rather than down. Guy for how much longer . When does it become unsustainable . Bhanu it becomes a problem for the banking system. Property markets may impact the government and the banks balance sheets. That is something we need to watch. China can run this for another three or four years before it reaches debt. Your deficit goes toward 90 of gdp. When is a augmented, i am included the local government when i say augmented, i am including the local government. 60 and rising at the pace of 10 a year. That is one thing we need to watch. I imagine when china gets to 100 , you will push the limits. ,aybe the wrong way to play it but you will see a significant drop in growth. The Property Market is key. It is the collateral of all lending in china. While it is a different problem for the u. S. , construction the companies are quite lowered. You still have very high ratios and rising. Guy daniel, that raised a few eyebrows. How do i invest around that . Daniel this is old china versus new china. You have overcapacity concerns. Youre going to have layoffs and restructuring. It is notable that when people talk about whether emerging markets are cheap and you look at buying wishes, you see the index that is china that appears to be cheap it within china, it is the banks that seem to be cheap. Youre in an environment where it is cheap for a reason. We need to focus on the Growth Opportunities which are there in china. There are sectors that were not focused on in the past. Travel and so on that we know is shrinking. Guy waiting for the housing sector of which everything seems to be predicated upon to actually start to have its foundation shaken a little bit . Daniel it seems nasa much inevitable very likely to happen it seems not so much inevitable but very likely to happen. The is going to be concerned at that it will become unstable but not for a wild. But not for a while. Bhanu china is a part of the global economy, so from that aspect it will be a bigger impact. Crisis, youvean got a credit problem in the u. S. , it impacts the rest of the world, it will be smaller. Guy we will wrap that up right there. Thank you very much indeed. Bob. L morris from bmp bear from bnp paribas. We are good to speak to the chairman of the biggest nigerian owned independent Oil Exploration company. That is coming up next here on on the move. Lets take a look at what is happening in paris. You recognize that guy. He is speaking in paris right now. We will monitor what he says and bring you those talks in a moments time. Any moment lost time. Time. A moments guy 13 minutes into the has said china is on track to its reforms and expect more difficulties along the way. The transition is going to be good for china. And good for the world. And like any transition, it will not go without some bumps on the road. We should expect that. There is a delicate balance to slowingk between a deliberately slowing the liberally slowing economy and reforms that need to be accelerated. Obama hasarack arrived in havana becoming the first sitting hesitant to travel since Calvin Coolidge. He will urge the government to see the historic opportunity. Turkish authorities called off istanbulall match in about two hours before kickoff, citing an unspecified threat did it came after a man linked to these Islamic State desk to the Islamic State carried out a suicide bombing that killed for the people. To the Islamic State carried out a suicide bombing that people 40ple people. Global news, 24 hours a day, powered by 2400 journalists in more than 150 news bureaus around the world. Guy everything seems to hang on the dollar doesnt . Dollar, doesnt it . One more rig coming online. Doesnt that make a difference . This is a dollar trade, but as you can see, nymex trading down. The brent trading down by one in. 5 . Trading down by 1. 5 . The data is interesting because people are paying attention to lyat happens next, particular with this meeting that is coming up next, with these numbers of opec. Here is a composition that we can bring you now. Lets talk about the chairman and cofounder on the nigerian stock exchange. Good morning to you, sir. Thank you for speaking to us. Can i ask you a straightforward question. Which level of oil price is is your firm comfortable with . Cooks the level of comfort in terms of oil price depends on capex. El of what we have kept our eyes on is the collapse of the oil price and cost reduction, making sure capex andn the essential operations. One of our things would be to remain at the lowest level of production in nigeria. That is an idea that our company will remain profitable regardless. Guy clearly there is a lot of politics involved. Where do you see the story going over the next few months . When you look around the world, what is your expectation . Mostthe oil price like Commodity Markets is very cyclical. They were seeing the lowest ebb of that volatility. Whatever one is clear about is this cycle will continue good no one can say whether the oil price say where the oil price will be. A very close eye on the fundamentals. The equilibrium of supply and demand will be good there is spec will be. There is speculation that has been driving the price. Demand thatreasing we are seeing, with the reduction that has built up around the years, with the arresting of the oversupply growth, we are expecting some bloods in the market into 2017 and beyond. Guy you dont see any reason for big suppliers, opec to get together and talk about production cuts. There is no reason for that right now . Abc i think the dialogue within opec is encouraging. Opec has come to terms with freezing could freezing reduction. Freezing production. Our we are beginning to see companies you look at the very gross reduction gross production. There is going to be some constraint and supply in the mediumterm. This will be a stabilizer for price, regardless of what youre beginning to see at the present. The price can go anywhere. I was expecting to see changes. Prices are the way they are today, we are going to be seeing constraint and projects that will increase supply. We will believe the supply supply the supply demand fundamentals will see guy d. C. Supply picking do you see supply picking up . Abc africa demand is rising good is rising. We are seeing that improving. If you look at the global demographics, you will agree with me that even though there has been oversupply for the past number of years, demand will continue to grow. Even when you the emerging markets, india is very aggressive with growth. Though itrowing, even is been less than expected. What we have seen in the Manufacturing Sector in china has not increased demand increased demand as expected. Abilityhese shows the shows stability. Has your Company Effectively stepped into places within the delta of nigeria, shell for instance, gasquet to the risks that that has generated and how your can you talk about the risks that that has generated and how you are managing the risks . Pioneered the acquisition from shell. What thatthe speaks to is our ability to engage in a proactive manner the nigerian Host Community and situate that we develop a winwin strategy. Another thing that we have done is to make a strong statement to once you have a corporate government, youre bound to make yourself a very important entity as a destination for investment. We pioneered the dual listing of our securities. This made us more visible. It encouraged and delivered on promises that we made. It is a major driver for Economic Growth and diversity in nigeria. Guy thank you very much indeed. The chairman of sepp blatter joining us. To look at our charts of the hour. Find out why the dollars movements are interesting. That is next. Guy welcome back. An american in paris, mr. Lacher speaking in paris. Jeffrey lacker talking about where he sees all types of things. What is interesting is what is happening surrounding the dollar index. The bloomberg dollar swap index. It is heading toward his worst month. Is trackat i have done that bloomberg dollar spot index against the treasury twoyear yield spread to its g7 peers. The spread has narrowed. The dollar has come down except in the past few days we can see the little rise and the white line at the end. Rise in the white line at the end it at the end. The treasury lose its desperate treasury loses its advantage. The treasury loses its advantage here it a correlation the treasury loses its advantage. The dollar yuan has been falling. Goldman sachs has been holding on to its alleged stance on the dollar. Goldman sachs has been holding on to its bullish stance on the dollar. At the end of last week, it fell below 30 signaling it is time for the dollar to rise. Guy bono, eu rally . It is down to what is happening with china. Up. As boosted commodities that is helping e. M. The fed has dumped emerging markets as well. The run has been externally strong already. In the e. M. , you do not see this relationship, in fact it is the effects that is rather than the other way around. That is why i think emerging markets [indiscernible] coming up. Rom bhanu we will talk more about brazil. We will see you in a moment. Tom welcome back. We are half an hour into the trading day this afternoon. Heres a picture of the markets. We have a short week. Youll see some volume coming out of the markets. The are fading some recent rallies. Friday was an interesting day. Out. Find am looking at italian lenders as well. They are doing some of the most outperforming. They are up 3. 4 . This continues across some of these key banks and players. They might be studying and writing ship. Writing the ship. This is one of the performers. The Spanish Company is up 3 . Why . Dividends. Dividends will be improved. They will pay out 66. 6 this year. Payout willd, the be up to 70 . More bang for your buck, more bang for your euro. Downside, most of the stocks are on the downside. We are down about a half a percentage point. There is nothing like these changes of the guard. They are rearranging the deck. Look at the news coming out of many other companies. This is down to. 6 . They made him the new financial officer. He has decided to leave. They had a wholesale change because the ceo was ousted last month. The cfo is not being liked. They are changing to another cfo. Back to you. Guy thank you very much. Lets get back to the emerging markets. Brazil is set for another week of high drama. Theyre drafting a recommendation to impeach the president. 68 of the nation supports ousting the countries leader. Thats up from 60 in february. Lets talk about all of this. Lets bring in our emerging markets manager. Justin, how critical is this week . Justin very critical. We have this Multiparty Committee meeting today. Longnot really clear how all this is going to take. They are going to be deciding effort this procedure an to the Impeachment Vote for the senate goes ahead. Its a split committee. Slightght its a advantage in terms of numbers. Anything can happen. Are building pressure on recep. There is a massive protest. We have seen not so many over the weekend. We saw a record numbers of people coming out in brazil last week. It was a spontaneous response to her effort to get on board the cabinet. It was sure her powerbase. Some saw that as a cynical attempt to protect him from Police Investigation into this corruption investigation its been going on. Seems to me this assumption among International Investors that an impeachment would be a good thing, it would positive,ely easy and you are extremely experienced in this part of the world. With that the your take of the situation . Justin its very different now. As this came to the four, investors really thought this was a bad thing. Any uncertainty around the a cause for worry for investors. Now its come to solidify and the prospect that she could get kicked out of government has brought some relief. Thee are people saying impeachment is priced into the market. Its one of the best forming currencies in the world this year. The stock market is up 28 this year, more than any other around the world. We are seeing brazilian borrowing costs. This is often to whats going on at the moment. If she goes and there is a new government coming in, how do they address the very real structural problems that still faces . Thats a good question. Guy one that investors will start to think about as we work our way through this week. It was great to hear your thoughts. He is our emerging markets managing manager. We have priced an awful lot in. This kind of shows that this yield on new brazilian notes, you can see the rise up as we worry about it. We start to talk about impeachment. Out . E trade long in, short im not suggesting thats going to happen. From a debt market perspective i think that is correct. They can still come in a little bit more. The risk dream is so negative that doesnt make sense for locals. That still makes a lot of sense. If you want to take only dollar debt, you still get paid 7 . That is quite high. From this level, you have to wonder if priscillas going to default in the near term. I think valuations in the equity market for high. They have become much too high too quickly. I think political changes priced in. If we do get political change, its not clear that we do, the problems are so real that many of them are linked to the laws and not the ideology of one government. It will be difficult to change that. 2014, brazilober has come down a long way in economic terms. I think the equity valuations have run higher than they should. Tom there are other factors. China. Weve been talking about the growth story coming out of that. The mining stocks are rallying. There are other factors in the mix. Bhanu mining and energy have performed everything in the markets. The key question in e. M. , youve seen them warm very well. In emerging markets, youve not seen growth surprises like the u. S. Total social financing number in china. China credit is the only thing that is flashing greece. Our prior is that its unlikely to continue at the same price. Its been expanding for the better part of six months. You only see that now in commodities. I think this is a rally that we should be looking at. I think the guy you think its a gentle slope . , itu its penetrating depends on your vantage point. You can see this go back very quickly. There is the view that e. M. Is cheap. Say were going to retrace on equity. Where my going to get the biggest bang . I want to long the debt in short the equity. Bhanu materials have gone up far too much. Guy geographically . Bhanu brazil, i think you will see a big pullback. Guy everybody is very excited about cuba. The president is there. We still have an embargo on. Is this for investments . These stories are very good stories on the tenure basis. It takes time. We are goingr that to open up tomorrow and that will lead to another infrastructure boom in the world. I think this will be more private Equity Investment instead of a market that opens up. I think thats several years away. Given the volatility elsewhere, youve got to know which trajectory its on. The price. s in if youre looking at private Equity Investments, across emerging markets the passive index has not done a very good job of representing e. M. s reality. Thats a huge part of emerging Market Growth right now. Thats not been represented. Its about commodities and financial. The emerging markets are a private Equity Opportunity as opposed to public equity. Cuba will be similar to miramar. I think this is a matter of seven years. Guy thank you very much indeed. Next, the supermarket moves in on home retail after a South African rival checks out of the race. Thats next. Guy were 43 minutes into the equity market session. Alibaba has said its growth merchandise volume has passed the 3 trillion mark for the first time. Thats 463 billion.
