Global news, 24 hours a day, powered by over 26 journists ananalysts in more than 120 countries. This is bloomberg. Guy blin ddles, p 10 fms. European regulators it lks like are going to breach at noon today in brussels on the competition case surrounding that. We have just had lets analyze what is happening. Apple is apparently on the hook for up to 19 billion worth of cktaxes this could be europes largest ever penalty. This is culminating about whether apple had a sweetheart deal. Our Brussels Bureau chief joins us now. Run us through the deils of what we know and what we are expecting to hear ter. The competition commissioner will come out at noon and layout exactly what the commission has found and what it believes in terms of apple and its tax deal with ireland. The statecome in with aid investigation to say that the special arrangement apple has with ireland has given them an unfair advantage in regards to other companies. We will be listening very closely to what they have to say because we want to see what the languages. We are looking for billions of dollars and we want to see what the what t charges are, so we can see how this might affect other companies, and there are a lot of u. S. Companies that are in ireland. Guy is this about irelands tax rate, or about particular sweetheart deals . Us, what isointing the reasoning of what the eu is doing . Right. Its not about tax rate. Ireland has one of the lowest tax rates in europe at 12. 5 and its about special deals on top of tha its not just ireland in these cases, the eu has also go againompanies a luxembrg, in belgm, andn th eerlands th Companies Like anheerbusch, that had to pay 700 Million Euros or so i similar cases. So that is wwe are looking, the ct that ere is special l thdea irelandas cut wit ale and the reasoning is it gives them an unfair advantage over other companies. Guy we will ave it the. We look forward to your coverage. At press conference could be comi up around noon in russels today with the competition commissioner we will hear from her and hopefully will take it to you live. He numbers ithisase our eye atering, enormous. Had 232st month apple billion dollars in cash. 24billion of it is held overseas. Tes are growiver more contentious and the amount of money held offshore is absolutely phenomenal. Lets join our guest for the next 40 minutes, but head of global fx strategies good morning. If u asompanies repriated all the money they had over, whatmpact would that have . That largely depenn ho mu is hedged, so it really depends on where its being put. For the largest part it is being held in cash accounts and i suspect a large degree of that is currency based. I would think it would be marginally beneficial for the dollar. Guy when you look at whats happening in europe and the implications of whats going on this isnt about tax rate in germany or ireland or wherever but nevertheless there ten about w Economic Performance is being delivered. Policy isys, fiscal becoming the new focus of other taxand all the rates will be coming under greater levels of scrutiny. How on the same page do you think europe is right now . How are you analyzing what comes next . Es are largelyeurozone and eur. Erare coming out of an where we h fcal onlidationthe righw it seems to be panning t at least the g drug is petering out. That in ordern for eurozone to move forward you would need more relaxation on the fiscal friend in order guy is that spending . When you analyze whats happening here and youthink about the shift in monetary to fiscal, hodoes it work . It differs, largely because the eurozone is such a herogeneouplace. In some countries y would definitely need some sort of tax reliein oer to provide incentives but in some other ntries you need a lot of greece, i dont thinthe issue is about how much fiscal burden is, its all about stability, fiscal stability wheitomesk the to expenditures. Guy stay with us. Next, investors rejoice in the demise of brazils president , but have they underestimated the risk . And can spain avoid its third election in a year . Can the Prime Minister rally the support he needs for a confidence vote . And as the family prepares an exit from south africa, we are sticking exclusively to one of their Holding Company falies. Thats coming up. Dont forget, a little conversation with this man, said vice chair stanley fischer. Hewill be joining us at 11 30 u. K. Time. This is bloomberg. Guy 43, welce back.

Thats your Bloomberg Business flh. Guy thanks. Bril suspeed the prsint eyre isonal apal lawmakers,ay wod amountto aolitical death sentence fhe countrys democracy. [speaking portuguese] guess, oncee to aen i was held captive serious and painful illness made my existence shorter. Today i am just as afraid about the democracy. Reporter oin rem was she in any way able to convince some of these senators not to vote against her . Well, she wasnt. Ctually, her speecs very pate, very intee. Public medis waiting hear and e dnt anythings new,he didnt ing ne fight or anything that would be a game changer. That now we just consider this is pretty much her la f urin this position. Gu ok. When doe get the final rsul 20 wfinally kn she i . S gone this is probably going to happen by the end of the d in brazil and maybe the Early Morning tomorrow. That is because we have more than 50 senators lined up to speak, witna froboth sides, those that ar suppters and hersh are her critics d that have been her critics since it started nine months ago. The discussions will coinue all day long in brazil and there is an expectation by the administration that the ving could happen at 11 00 brazil time but there is no clear signal that this will actually happen. Benit guy thak you very much. Philippe. Les talk bout whats happeng in brazil right now, the litics taking and center in evybodys mnd, but behind thecenes there are interesting things goin this is an average ofrazilian corpe bond this you can see rate cuts, Economic Data deteriorati, the macro picture loing faly blk and yet the maetis hein on th vic chancellor toeliver som ecic performance. The flow ibrazil has been lutely amazing. Some companies missed out on this, south africa, but nevertheless it flows to emerging markets. The last couple days it has been moficult. Lets get a take on where these currencies go next. Fortunately we have unicredits head oglobal fxrategy. The rally has been amazing. Particularly the bond markets around the world as people have been searching for yields, and into the stock markets too far . Dont think so. I say this he comeshe rally we have en largely depends on the field the market is gradually taking over the fed. Back in 2015 we had a temper tantrum, a massive set of emergingmarket asset andight now i think the market has come into a phase where it realizes two things first of all that the dollar has been overvalued substantially for quite some time aat the same time it seeshe ds potentially moving by the end of the year but its a very gradual pace. In tha respect the market is reaching out for yields right now without being worried that much about the possibility of action by the fed where they raise Interest Rates to quickly. From that perspective and when i combine it with the dollar valuation, i thi on e whole and absent vatility in the shortterm it still has legs. They underestimating the local domestic problemthe country has faced . The Vice President has so much on his plate, and livering will be so hard. South africa, the list goes on. You are absolutely right. And this is one of the themes we haeetrying to push for que some time. The idiosyncratic factors are definitely at play im not tirely sure i still think it can strengthen from here. Y mentiod to ocotries that definitely have problems aggards but at the same time guy where do i get the biggest bang f my . Ti think ahas a wi room to re fromerand in eastern europi would ate mostly on hungary and pond. Guy ok. Ll thi asia we are minutes away from European Equity market open. Up next, the potential corporate movers in todays trading. Including the shareholders that are meeting with the softbank takeover, very much in focus. Th open is eig minutes away. This is bloomberg. Guy welcome back. 7 53 in london. Minutes away from the market open. Lets talk about the stocks to watch. Arm is certainly one of those stories that will generate plenty to scusthe ft takeover. Theresa may i expect will adess th, the issue bein the u. K. Companies being sold with nothing to replace em in terms of the product stream. You can see the stock has done pretty well. Is this an argument that says the u. K. And the pound dropping is going to deliver, because of the fact that u. K. Asss are cheap, people can come i weekend by what we want aa discounted rae, and as a result we will smooth the transition in a meaningful way . Right, i have heard that argument many times. I would like to give it as the pound dropping, cushioni the impact of brexit at the same e u. Rightow is ch investing in highe evewi the softer sterling. A the uncertainty rains largely inlace we havent gotten anything so far. Cloudsre still a lot of in the horizon d as long as the uncertainty the, yes, a lower pound makes u. K. Assets more attractive but at the same it. The uncertainty ofet as a matter of fact i think i see outflows. Guy t market is coming up next. Positive. Pointing london is playing catchup after the National Holiday yesterday. Ondon is expected to dip fractionally. Plenty comi up. We will talk to stanley fischer. Guy good morning. Welcome. Youre watching on the move. Were here in the city of london and moments aom tway fr start of pean trading. Lets take a look at what is in focus this morning. Aki a bite out of apple. Can spain avoid a third election a year . Rousseff, are they underestimating Economic Risks . Moments away now from e star of european tring. We are moments away now from some data of the of spain as well. We are expecting a positive open with the ftse playing a little bit of catchup on the downside. The market is opening up. That white line there is london. It went straight tough yesterday doing absolutely nothing as we enjoyed the bank holiday. We expect the purple and blue to go up and the white line is expected to go lower. Looks like were opening chge on the ftse 100 at 6. 833. Let me show you to spanish data which has come through in line with expectations. Minus. 3 meerwas nus. 7st me around. In some areas, that is good news. The kdn re seeing on the stoxx00. Most markets on the periery are up a little bit mor the German Market up. 5 . France laggi a little bit. Caroline hyde is here. Nice to see you. Caroline very ne toee you. Ftse plays catchup. So toodo. K. Gilts at the moment. Whether not pension fund t ininsurers want to sell up their longer year and laterdated gilts. Post jackson hole and the concerns that we wld see the ited statehike as soon as september. If not certainly december. Yields pushing up on the k. Treasury. Lets have a look at whs happening. Were digging in now to the breakdown when it comes to industry, guy. Focus on oil prices that toned dip a little bit lower today the reprieve. Th united stes managed to s a record misme were so close in interprets of sll the desio get in equities. Lets get to some of the individual stocks. A little bit of hen it comes to mercado. We might see walmart ocado. I want to be looking at royal tch shell. Loing toe selling up to h20 million worth of gulf of mexico assets. Lastly, i want to be moving on to a german stock. More tot be digging in he indian b. S. P. Guy thank you very much. Lets get back to the data and the markets and the politics. Spanish c. Pimbings in line with expectations at minus. 3,. 7. That is not the real focus today. Politics taking center stage. Spains acting Prime Minister rajoy hopes to end an impasse. He cant count on support from san ocialist leader, pedro ch zench. Today is critical. Is he going to get over the line today . If he doesnt, what happens later in the week . Reporter well, today he needs an absolute majority in the 350seat parliament. He hasnt got them going into the debate. He speaks today. Vote tomorrow night. He is almost certain to lose that. Hen he does that, triggers a second debate friday, two days later. If a handful of his opponents were to abstain, that would let him get through. At the moment they are all insisting they are going to vote against him. That then takes into this twomonth period of negotiation where is the politicians are trying to find a solution to avoid that election. Guy politics is the art of the impossible. Why is it impossible for these people to find a deal . Reporter it is down to corruption. They would do a deal with the p. P. Where they have Common Ground with policy measures. The problem is the system has not been able to hold them to account for these algailingses which have been floating around for seven or eight years now which makes it difficult for rajoys rivals to do a deal with him. Longlastingle and will it be . Reporter that is a good question. Probably not very stable. People are talking about a twoyear parliament. That south of thing. Sorts of thing. If rajoy gets in, he is going to be behold on the the opposition they will stake their reputation to hold the p. P. On account of corruption. I will expect if and when he does get in, it will be a fairly rocky and short legislature. Guy thank you very much indeed. Lets get back to our guest from unicredit. Why are investors ignoring are they ignoring the political front . We have so many issues we face. Terrorism. No government spain. Greece backsliding. They arey have decided not going to put their money to work here or there are bigger fish to fry elsewhere . Guest markets have a tendency to move ahead of the actual fact. With that initial massivive selloff in euro, we had a big selloff. One element is it is already priced. The other element for me is i think the market is taking a more top down view. They have now become accustomed and used to the fact that so originating within the eurozone. There are political hurdles. They will remain in place. Absent, a really big fallout. What we should be focusing on is Economic Data. I think it is fair to say the data has come a bit better than people expected especially in the aftermath of the brexit result and the referendum. From that sense, i think there is still a lot of value in european assets. I think the investors are taking that view. Guy he hasnt done anything, spoken much in terms of guidance for five weeks now. Get the projections coming up. We get a decision. A press conference. The data is ticking along. Why does draghi need to do anything or does he need to do something . Reporter well find out. 4 well find out coming out of the september meeting. On the whole well get a usual very strong pledge or promise to do whatever it takes along these words or similar words in case things deteriorate from here. Having said that, we have reached and and it is not just about the e. C. B. We have reached a status that there is a limb to what Monetary Policy can actually do. From that respect i think even if the e. C. B. Does something, it will likely be sometime in q 4 subject to some deterioration in the data and potentially it will be somewhat margal but not really. Marginal but not really. I think to e. C. B. Is actually looking guy would the market target a lower rate . Guest i dont know who i think right now 110 is a strong level for euro dollar. I think remain at that level. Guy great stuff. Coming up, democracy on trial. Brazils first female president ccusing authorities of a oupd etat. Geelt into a debate as well. Plus exits also causing concern in south africa. Following capital out of the nation. The fallout continues. Well talk to one of the Portfolio Company bosses and get his take on whats happening with this story. Aural of this next on bloomberg. Guy welcome back. Youre watching on the move. Lovely day in london. He ftse is trading at 6. 833. We are going to be watching carefully as theresa mays new Administration Starts to get down to what a brexit actually means. Lets catch up with the world ews. Thanks. Lets go to brazil now. The suspended president has testified at her impeachment trial. Rouseell spoke insisting the charges of financial mismanagement she faces are politically motivated. She will be permanently removed if 2 3 of Congress Finds her guilty. Apple is said to be facing a potential tax bill running into billions of euros with an e. U. Ruling as early as today. The European Commission is expected to say that ireland provided the iphone maker through a sweetheart deal in return for creating jobs. Apple said it had nothing to add to previous statements. Ireland has vowed to fight any adverse finding. The European Competition commissioner is scheduled to hold a News Conference in brussels at 11 00 a. M. U. K. Time. Well bring you that here on bloomberg. Japanese airlines have canceled more than 90 domestic flights affecting at least 5,000 passengers. Toyota is closing its plant as a precaution. The storm could bring more rain in one day than normally comes in the month of august. The american actor gene wilder has died at the age of 33. He is best remembered by many willie role in the wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie. He was in the producers. He died on sunday in stamford, connecticut due to complications from alzheimers disease. Guy . Guy to you very much indeed. A Record Number of overseas investments were made in the u. K. In the 20152016 financial ear. Ryan has been watching the brexit developments. This is an interesting piece of data. Is it really relevant to whats happening now . Ryan it is good news for the u. K. It is good to have Foreign Investment on the rise or at least the number of projects funded by Foreign Investors rising by 11 yearonyear. It could be use for the government and the brexit, in a sense, a lot of this investment is coming from places you wouldnt have exited and the u. K. Is repositioning the country towards. Biggest andains the behind them china in the number two spot and behind them, india. 79 countries in all. Places in the world like latin america contributing more than they have in the past. Latin american projects funded by latin america up 240 . When people like liam fox talk about moving away from the e. U. And doing direct deals with emerging markets in places like latin america, obviously they are encouraged by this news and say this indicates they are moving in the right direction. Guy . Guy wages, you could argue the u. K. Employment picture has been positive. Wages havent held up that well. What is the picture now . Wages have not been great. We have a job Search Engine that does a whole bunch of analysis and they have come out with a report today that says salaries for the average advertised job in the u. K. Have fallen by 2. 4 . If youre a University Graduate looking far job, the jobs offering salaries about 5 this year than last year. That is not good news. Also getting news that the Services Sector is week and confidence there falling fast. Good news on the Foreign Investment front. Not such great news in terms of wages here if the u. K. Guy thank you. S the u. K. Getting poorer . Guest definitely there has been a negative shock into the u. K. In the i cant have math of brexit in the brexit we saw, because brexit hasnt really happened yet. I think that remains to be seen. It is not a done deal. I think it depends on what form of brexit we will get. Brexit, well definitely be worse off compared to what the u. K. Had before. I dont think it is going to have such a Lasting Impact on u. K. Assets, wealth in general. In terms of wages, you know, it is not just the u. K. Phenomenal. We see it in the u. S. The relationship between labor Market Dynamics and the wage growth having softened quite substantially. And it is really the Million Dollar question is exactly what the Central Banks are currently watching now. I think further down the road, were probably going to see some wage pressure. In the u. K. , they are going to be a number of offsetting factors. I think right now that was the natural response for salaries to start dropping a bit largely as a response to the potential uncertainties that the referendum has brought. I think it is far too early to judge whats going to happen on a six to 12month valley. Guy what does it look now like in terms offer the flow in the u. K. . Guest the s. B. I. s the inquires to show a slowdown. The numbers, you referred to april, up to the end of april. Also a period in 2015 when there was a lot of turbulence where investors were looking for safe havens and the u. K. Remained throughout all of these years a safe haven across these developed markets. It is difficult to make the case for f. Dimbings not to slowdown because of the uncertainties. Thats first thing that matters from medium to longterm view. Derek we need to talk about the fed. Well do that in just a moment. Coming up, the conversation will focus on the fed. Were going to get some idea exactly where we go next. Stanley fischer is going to be 11 30. Us at it is a standout store story for us. Stanley fischer. The vice chair over the u. S. Federal reserve. This is bloomberg. Guy 8 23 in london. Welcome back. Investors continue to weigh the odds of a Federal ReserveInterest Rate increase. Expectations have surged over the last two weeks. Fed officials said the case for the hike is getting stronger. Bloomberg television will be speaking to fed vice chair stanley fischer. Do not miss that conversation. Very likely to be market moving. Mr. Fischer has delivered marketmoving comments over the past few days. I expects well continue that. Our guest is still with us. The market is pricing in a hike. 25 basis points. 25 basis points. How significant that . Guest for the economy or the Exchange Rate . Guy the Exchange Rate. Guest i think taking up face value it is not. It points to a lower dollar, especially against majors. What really matters is the markets expectations and to that extent fed communication going to be important about what the path of these fed tightening policies is going to be. Our view has been all along that yes, we should expect another hike by the end of the year most likely in december, but in order for this to make a difference for the dollar and push higher, you need to have a severe repricing towards far more aggressive cycle by the fed. I still see the dollar overvalued. Shortterm latest comments may provide some marginal but i still see the dollar in decline. Guy what is the halflife between the cuts . Are we going to get another huge hike . Guest this goes very far out. This will largely depend on the data. The way i see it is when i look at the mandate over the fed, i see this has been largely met through various extents. As far as the labor market is concerned. These bottom line is ople feel it needs to be a cautious stance buzz they still feel there is some fragility in the system. Unless this thing peters out in the next nine months, i think we should expect a very mild tightening cycle by the fed. Guy briefly where is the dollar at the end of this year . Guest i think it goes down by another 3 to 4 and potentially will have corrected it overevaluation by next year meaning another 5 in 2017. Uy thank you. Up next, preparing to exit south africa. Well speak to one of the holding companies. Guy welcome back. Youre watching on the move. 30 minutes into the trading day. Here is the picture of the markets across europe. London playing catchup today. Dax up 4 . Cac outperforming. 4,466. Ryan lets kick it is off with royal dutch shell. After its acquisition of b. G. , up just a tab today after announcing they are going to sell some of their assets in the gulf of mexico. Shell the biggest producer of oil and ghass the gulf of mexico. Also suffering from nom not so great profits last quarter. We saw the worst profit in 11 years. Shell trying to improve that. Selling some of the assets that dont give the best returns. This is one of the case where is you have an Oil Service Company saying they have no bad newsened that in market that is good news. Ares up, ocado finally, some takeover speculation walmart, the company that the u. S. Retailer that owns in this country might be interested in buying ocado. Not the first time we have heard these rumors. That has pushed the shares up. All green here in general. Stoxx 600 moving up. Guy . Uy thank you very much, ryan. The latest indication that jacob is losing his grip on power in south africa may be the decision of a wealthy indian family to assets in the country. Joining us is the c. E. O. Of the Holding Company owned by the family. Good morning to you. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to join us. How much of a surprise was the news that they are going to be selling out of south africa to you . Well, you know, they decided in april to step down from active roles. Suppose a logical step was to diverse the shareholdering. Guy this is completely an apolitical decision . Any people will question that. Im sure they would, but you know, i can tell you the reaction since the weekend has been lots of people calling for opportunities to buy in the business. It is definitely a business on sound business principles or we wouldnt have that kind of interest. Guy can you give us a sense of how the price is going to work . You have expressions of interest. How do you think the price is going to unwind . I suppose there is never a right time to sell a business. We have had some business from some international parties. And taking talks to a certain level. From our point of view, we would to razy to close our eyes just one party. Guy when do you think youll close . Well, our commitment in the statement saturday was by the end of this year. Guy do you think that is a realistic timeline . Just in term stovers process, that it can be executed that quickly . We believe it can, yeah. Just based on the interest of since the announcement. The talks we have been engaged in so far. Guy you have had interest in all of the businesses . Well, you know, several people have come for a little bit. Our view is we prefer to kipet hole whole. Lets see what happens. At the end of the day, especially a decision how they close the matter. Yeah, i think we have had interest in whole and in parts. Guy it is not an expression of concern about the political environment, is it an expression of concern about the economic environment in south africa . I think you know the great created by the media. The suggestion is that why would people want to bite now if it wasnt for the sound business principles in place . Guy do you they the operating environment would bers, though, if it were not owned by the that the banking could expect to improve. Would the ease of doing business actually change . I think they have been singled out for some really cruel and harsh freement treatment for a family that came in and invested all of their funds in this country. Never taken a dividend. Created 7,500 jobs. It may cause some rippling effect on other Foreign Investors and they may want to think twice about the environment they are investing in. We hope that it will calm down. That is view over the shareholderer. Perhaps that will set us up on a solid footing to go forward. Solid footing. You think business will be easier once this happens . I think the shareholders view is if they were out of the way perhaps life would be easier for the businesses. Thats why understanding of the shareholders view. Guy how will these businesses operate without a local backer . Who do you think is going to be the buyer . A domestic buyer or a foreign buyer . How do you think it is going to work . I think we referred to an International Interest we have. That is a real intangible offer we have. There have been lots of local people who made contact with us to engage in conversations as well. Guy do you think jouths of curiosity, there is concern at the moment that we are going to see a downgrade rating for south africa. How much of an expression of all of that potential bad news oming down the pike is this . You know, we have gone through i think some tough times over the past few months. I think we have come through 12 months of really tough times. You know, i dont think it is going to get that much tougher in my view. As long as we keep our eye on big picture, our view is it will come through quite nicely. Unscathed. Guy youre effectively saying that the reason the shareholderer is selling is because of the toxic environment created around them. Nothing to do with their relationships with pretoria, etc. , and youre making that very clear. Nevertheless, youre also implying there is a political discount or a media discount applied to the businesses. How big do you think that is . From our point of view, ill say we are fundamentally Good Businesses. All of the businesses are in very good shape. The fact that we have people calling us and engaged in conversations is what prompted the sheryl to sell his position. Rom our point of view, i think all of the business is profitable. All of the business is having a good market share, contrary to the public position, probably 5 less of that business is in terms of our 2015 balance sheet. It is a business based on a very Broad Spectrum of turnover. Guy how much do you think business will be how much more do you think the business would be worth if we were to see guptas not being involved. How much more would the business be worth were they not involved at all . I think you know any shareholder that would wlook at the business in interpretors business is funneled mental. There wasnt any lack of reaction from potential buyers. From yesterday we had buyers coming out of the wood work and wanting to engage on the business. I dont think there is a discount at all. I think it is a very Good Business with good fundamentals in place. Guy do you expect ca a downgrade for south africa . Do you expect the ratings to be cut . I dont see why it should be changing. There has been much speculation about why it should change but the fundamentals are in good shape. I think we have a good plan for growing our economy. Guy is gordon the right man for the job . I think i have a Great Respect for minister of finance. I have known him for many years. He has brought soninlaw good discipline to our treasury and good leadership. A d. C. Oubt he is in our movement. He has paid his dues to our movement. I have Great Respect. Guy there have been reports lets talk about him a little bit. Is that the case . I said that in the newspapers. Ive seen no further evidence other than what is reported in the newspapers. Guy just to nail that down 3. Down. To your understanding, youre the c. E. O. , no papers have been filed . Certainly not. Certainly not. Certainly not. Guy a final question. Do you think youll carry on being involved in the business . What do you think your future is within this company . Let me say to you, saturday was a sad day for me getting the news from the shareholder. Ive been this the group for six years. Dealing with outside forces and internal stuff and colleagues. Im very saddened by their move. Of course my future is will be decided by who the new shareholder is. Guy thank you for sharing so much of your time with us. Up next, you have got to pay to play. A key ally of Angela Merkel says the u. K. Has to chip into the budget if it wants the benefits. Were going to get into that debate next. This is bloomberg. Guy welcome back. Lovely london today. The market flat. Playing a little bit of catchup. The rest of the continental market a little stronger. We have got some sunshine here. What do we care . Were back at work. Lets talk about am now.

Mondelez has walked away from takeover discussions with hershey. Two months after the bid was rejected by the chocolate maker. The owner of cad burr said it cadbury sees no path forward. Thats your Bloomberg Business. Guy the u. K. Will have to pay into the e. U. Budget if it wants the market advantages. Englands s prospects. If someone wants to benefit from the european union, he also these contribute to the cost of that operation. Before the referendum nobody talked about that fact. Guy lets pick up on the conversation with the man who has it. Why has merkel not defined the regulations with britain . She has been very careful not to create the impression that the negotiation would already start because britain has officially triggered the Brexit Process. Thats the reason why. She just wants to say well, first britain has to move and then we will move. Guy ok. So well wait for the brits to decide and wait for london to figure out what exactly is happening here. One of the defining characteristic turnovers e. U. D the migration story as a backdrop, you can understand why freedom of movement is so important to that. Give us a sense of how important it is, know. I think it is nonnerveable. Nonnegotiable. If the e. U. Would allow britain to get away with it, to abolish t, i think it will put a bad precedent for all other countries that might want to lever the e. U. The message could be you can basically get a special deal when you leave. So that will not happen, i think. That simple. Guy is there a sense in ber explain the u. K. Doesnt have its act together. Doesnt know what questions and what ideas it needs to be debating . That actually the Brexit Process is going to be slow. Is there an understanding of that in berlin and thats why were not feeling pressure here . Totally. I think Angela Merkel has realized that the new British Government simply need time to get its act together and to decide what it actually wants and how it wants ost to do it. Maybe there is even the silent hope that in the end, brexit will never happen. Guy silent hope. Thanks very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Up next, were going to carry on the brexit conversation. Were going to look at how the sterling crash close to referendum has turned some currency derivatives toxic. This is bloomberg. Guy welcome back. Youre watching on the move. Lets talk about the highlights rom the day ahead. Due to hold a general meeting on a takeover by saft bank. And then talking about apple. Lets talk about whats happening surrounding the rexit. Some countries derivative lives are toxic. I have seen this movie before. We always get these kinds of things happening wubs once you get a big currency move. This time different . The difference this time around was the brexit was such a large and unforseen kind of curn see move. Youre absolutely right. There are aspects of this story which are familiar to anyone who followed the financial crisis and the fancy derivatives and many people hoped we moved on but seemingly we havent. Businesses up and down the country there are designs to get them over their currency costs in the future. There are triggers that are hit. People end up having to buy 10 times more currency than they need and end up hugely out of pocket and unable to pay. Guy is it the banks that are involved . He banks did this before and got pinged for it. You would think they would have learned their lesson. They are still involved to leaser extent. Nowadays you have kind of Smaller Foreign Exchange rokerages. They hire people that will phone um businesses. We heard people getting like five phone calls a day from different fx Brokerage Firms saying we can help you address your Foreign Exchange costs. The banks have been burned before. These are firms that are essentially acting although they are regulated with much less scrutiny. Guy in terms of precedent and what happens next, what do we understand . Were at an early stage. Brexit it will be subject to negotiations. People will say i cant afford to make payments and will try do some negotiation. Well start to see where businesses fail in a few months as they come through that process. Guy thank you very much indeed. Liam vaughan joining us.
