Glenn stevens will be hosting his final policy meeting on tuesday, expecting to hold at 1. 5 . Traders are pricing in a 50 chance of further easing as they wait to see if the fed hikes this month. At cmc iset analyst in sydney. But he hasxpected, left his mark on australia, the economy, and the rba. He has. People would say that he has been one of the most Effective Central Bank governors around the world in the last 10 years. He was responsible for some very aggressive and successful action out of the Global Financial crisis when he cut rates aggressively. Legacies is his communication. He is a gifted if laidback communicator, varies the sink and what he has to say. Sisi something they are very short and to the point, but with all the information you need to know and the same applies to the ministry. A central bank others could learn from. Theaad he talked about limits of Monetary Policy and how it was not as effective as it used to be. It is a theme echoed in the g 20. It is. I think Glenn Stevens has been consistent. The rba has been reluctant instruments in stimulus. His clear view that the fed should get on with the job and the time is right for them to make the next rate increase, which will have the benefit of taking some of the pressure off our reserve bank but other Central Banks around the world. Rishaad i mentioned the g20, and the theme is to get the Global Economy growing again. With all the stimulus out there, what would happen if we did not have it . That is the question. It is. It is a question we will probably never know the answer to come up but that is the core of the central bank debate, isnt it . Here would we have been if they had not acted. Have force politicians to act more to introduce reform. Would have lessened the risks that now face is because of extreme centralbank stimulus. On the other hand, as we have seen at other times in history, without stimulus, the human costs can be large in terms of high unemployment rates and adjustments to economys. That 3 going on about growth rate, is that why you are reducing your exposure to equities because you think corporate profits are not healthy looking down the road . Is one of the reasons. We are in a situation at the moment where the bullish scenario for equities probably only involves modest increases and general sideways movements based on the fact that valuations are very high. They do incorporate large couldate interests, so we keep drifting higher, but the risks look larger. There are significant risks in europe with the european banking situation. It is uncertain how markets will react if we see higher rates from the fed and other places. Favorite lightening your exposure a little anyway. Rishaad how does this alter your strategy . There are many moving parts, not the least of which is on the commodity side of things. , we are in one of those situations where it is difficult to take a broadbrush approach to commodities. Commodities are in different places of the moment, so you have to focus on particular areas. If we were to see u. S. Dollar strength, which i think is likely more or less over time, then that would be a negative for some commodities. On the one hand, oil markets, are headed back towards a balanced situation and will get support. , wehe other hand, iron ore will likely see the surplus of supply get worse over the next year or 18 months and there is downside risk. You would have done well on the oil market if youre buying it at 41 and selling it when it hit 47. You could make money time and time again by doing that. Thats right. I dont think it is too early to stop doing it. I think oil is generally going to be in a range of 20. I think what oil has got going for it is we do have visibility now on a return to a balance. Is uncertain. It depends on whether you think the market will grow at 1. 1 Million Barrels a day or 1. 4 Million Barrels a day, but essentially it is growing back into balance. That means if we get to around the bottom of that range or a thebelow, i dont discount possibility of u. S. Dollar strength and inventory related pressure getting us into the high 30s, but between about 36 level to be going back to the well and buying upper 40sing in the and possibly demented to upper 50s if you have a long enough time frame. Rishaad we have to take a break here it hong kong seeing a record turnout in its first election since the democracy protest two years ago. This is bloomberg. Withad you are back trending business. Going on in hong kong as voters turnout in Record Numbers. The first election since these socalled occupy protest two years ago that saw student protesters clash with police. Votingurnout, people will past when the polls were meant to close here. Thats right. They kept the polls open in some places because there were huge queues and not enough polling stations in some of the districts. When you look at the numbers that have come back, it is reflection of the politicization of hong kong after the occupy protest two years ago. Tose protests are thought have failed because they did not manage to get any concessions out of the Chinese Government on Electoral Reform, but what they did do is let a size a whole generation of people, and what we are seeing are younger people coming out and voting for younger parties. Rishaad what are the surprises and indications . We have not action got any results yet. Is ahift we are seeing shift away from these traditional and democratic pro democracy people towards a more radical people. It does not look like any of those candidates are calling for independence from china will get in. We have got a lot of the younger socalled local list parties that are pushing for what they call selfdetermination. Selfdetermination in this case would be voting at some point by hong kong people about hong kongs political future after the high degree of autonomy which has been guaranteed up until 24 7. Rishaad a lot of people saying that is being eroded at the moment. Us about the blocking position that there is here. One of the things the pan democrats have is the government cant make any changes to the basic law. The means they cant foist Electoral Reform package that beijing wanted to introduce two years ago. This is a package where basically beijing vets who the candidates are. Looking ataintain the numbers that blocking position, which is key for them. Rishaad thank you very much indeed. Coming up, two months of kong for the yuan could be coming to an end. Building up selling pressures there. At our toplook stories, g 20 leaders warned about protectionism.

Rishaad chinese currency data suggesting the yuan could resume his deep appreciation trend ones the g20 gathering is over. What is the thinking here . Statements in the last hour from the chinese and u. S. Sides following the meetings in hong trail in hangzhou. Hasrding to china, the yuan no basis for continued appreciation against the dollar. The data suggests otherwise. If we bring up the chart, we can in the runupps to the g20 here, the pboc and authorities in china have been trying to keep it stable. They want to deflect any chance of criticism of its currency policies at the g20. Dont want to give its trading partners any excuse. What you are seeing is basically fairly clear evidence that any time the pboc has strengthened its fixing rate by more than 3 10 of 1 , the currency immediately erases those gains on larger than average for him intraday. More headlines here . Rishaad more reverse repos taking place. They are trying to free up the system and liquidity. To come back to this real quickly, this chart shows pent up selling pressure. It suggests two months of relative calm could end after g20. , august 3,ed dots august 11, august 17, basically following stronger than average fixing rates of at least 0. 3 . Of those occasions, we saw immediate spikes in volume and selling pressure. Basically, a lot of analysts are using this kind of intraday volatility, intraday movement, as better evidence of trader intent rather than the distortions that could have been caused by the fixing. Move. D the fed likely to basket. Have this sdr how does this affect depreciation, if at all . They want to keep it stable ahead of the inclusion and internationalization of the renminbi. If we get further weakening data for the china economy, a much tighter approach from the u. S. Fed, you could have more volatility, more outflows, more downward pressure on the yuan. However, most analysts we surveyed, the median forecast calls for a 1 decline from now through the end of the year for u. S. S. Dollar yuan and dollar and yuan, so not a lot. Rishaad taking a look at some sums global recall of the galaxy note 7, apparently causing the company one been dollars. The damage to the brand could be greater still. How did you work it all out here . What is the extent of the damage . The market is saying one. Rillion yuan won operating profit is a trillion argue that theld effect is not significant. In terms of brand equity rishaad that is something intangible, isnt it . Its hard to build one up, but easy to break down and destroy a brand. Definitely. If we went back to history, last year, the p e ratio was about eight times for samsung. Now the company is trading at about 10 times. You could argue that there could be some premium priced in given that the market has more confidence on samsungs ability to offer a Consumer Product with strong branding. Losing itsmsung was. Peciality in big displays the p e ratio went below seven times, so it could be quite worrying in terms of the damage to the brand equity, not just earnings. Rishaad if we look at simple earnings, other companies are likely to be feeling the heat from this problem as well. Yes, there are beneficiaries and companies who may suffer. Iphone would benefit. Chinese companies could benefit as well. On the flip side, the suppliers of samsung, including samsung of, the battery provider this problematic galaxy note 7, and qualcomm, they could also be heard. Rishaad thank you very much indeed. The trials and tribulations of samsung electronics. Right. Half of said to buy phps gas fields in western australia. Pay 400ny will million in a deal that sees it takes a stake in jupiter gas field as well. Woodside will run the North Scarborough fields.

Trudeaunister justin signed a Cooperation Agreement and alibaba shopping platform. We caught up with the trade minister at the g20 summit and talked about the significance of the deal. The 20 first century, and the age of the technology revolution, the age of easy , those canadian lobsters, if you buy one on alibaba, if you are in china, it you buy one of those great nova scotia lobsters, it would be in your house in 72 hours. That is amazing. What to me is so important about this as trade minister is that we have to be rethinking how we think about international trade. It is not just for the big multinational companies. Trade is about finding ways for small and mediumsize companies to get direct access to consumers around the world. That is important because it will help to stimulate the Global Economy, but also important politically. We heard here at this g20 a lot of talk about the protectionist sentiment which is really sweeping the world. Can we escape this low growth environment . Now is the time for countries around the world, starting with the g20, to invest for growth. Now is not a time for austerity. Now is a time to be investing for growth and jobs. When canada says that, we are advising others to do what we have done ourselves. We campaigned on a promise of launching a major infrastructure program, and that is what we have done and what we are rolling out now. , one lastoming up call. The rba preparing for a new leader, what are the chances for a policy switch . This is bloomberg. Rishaad a quick check of business flash headlines.

Composite emi, manufacturing pmi, manufacturing as well, slightly below the composite number of 51. 9 in july. With week for australia rba decision do. Secondquarter gdp numbers on wednesday. Thursday, trade numbers as well. Lets discuss with the head of Asiapacific Research and securities. Thank you for joining us. It is a big day. A bit sad about Glenn Stevens departure. , the whole market in fact went to his recent speech. Danthe accolades flowed over how wonderful he has been treating us as governor for the past decade. Tomorrow, i think things will be anticlimactic in contrast. No one is expecting anything. So lets hope he slips out the door quietly and enjoys a good retirement. At 1. 5 , the rate, but you are thinking about another rate cut early next year. We are not looking for a cut at all. I think 1. 5 should probably be the floor for us. Have been saying that i do think the limits of Monetary Policy have been hit. I dont want to go around g20 saying we are at zero, what do we do next . Australia has been growing for 25 years. We could have a recession at some time, so we would like to keep a few bullets and the chamber, so i would like to see 1. 5 stare they where it is. Theres nothing wrong with tolerating lowinflation for a little longer. ,he discussion you just had that we need to talk about trade, investment. Economywe need a real to do real things rather than sitting back and waiting for the central bank to spur growth when there are limits have been tested. Rishaad it is interesting. You said in your notes that q3 gdp is likely to come and go on wednesday. Why did you say that . Stage, we have a lot of partial data to con. We dont know what trade is doing to the sector and we dont know what the government is doing for that particular quarter. We will get that information tomorrow. It growth is. 5 quarter on , 3. 5 year on year, which is what the rba expected in its august statement, and so i think it should come and go and the rest of the week we will be talking about july that the july data. That is far more interesting to what happened in april, may, in june. Rishaad we have the jobs report on friday, i have then calling it a curious egg. There was not much good in parts there, however, the point is has it right anything to the chance of a rate hike this month . I really dont see anything for a rate hike this month. Know, janet yellen and a few of her dovish colleagues have ramped up the script recently. Its about the markets keeping the possibility of a rate hike alive between now and the end of the year. I certainly dont think they are preparing for a september hike at all. Having itll number, at 150000 and the nine wages buys the fed a little bit more time to see what subsequent reports would be. We would not rule out a december hike, but we saw that and fetching number plummet recently , so i think we need all the data to print one way in order to be absolutely secure for a december hike, so our base case is still 42017. Rishaad lets move to china. We are trying to get a head start on the week. A lot of data coming in thick and fast, trade numbers come inflation figures, among a host of others. We certainly do. We are pretty upbeat for this trade report for august. July was just terrible across the board. That at all. Rcoat we have seen a disconnect between the pmi subcomponents such as orders for imports and exports. In fact, we are expecting a good trade number this week. That is good for risks, aussie dollar, so expect some good news there. , we are belowport consensus the last i saw. In this case, it is about food prices. We can escape the fact that pork is a big contributor to the Food Price Index and in turn the overall cpi, so while the Food Price Index does drag down the overall number, we did notice are you look at ppi, we actually starting to see some upstream price pressures. We have seen ppi turnaround. Ramatically from last year we could even see a minus one or so, so we are seeing a pickup in upstream prices, and that something we need to take a good look at this week. Rishaad thank you so much for your time. What we have got coming up next, matters of business. President obama heads from one set of talks to the other. What is in store for him at asean . President obama says goodbye to asia this week. His last trip is the leader of the west after the g20, traveling to laos for the asean summit. Talks are clouded by a trade deal hanging in the balance. The backdrop of the visit is different this time around, isnt it . Sawittle of the optimism we last year, where we saw the signing of a Strategic Partnership. Several issues here, the future of the Transpacific Partnership agreement is in question.

As you know, what is key is ofping the cornerstone obamas asia pivot, tpp. There is growing antitrade sentiment in many parts of the world.

China says the yuan has no basis we areiation assuming that will be against the u. S. Dollar following the talks between xi and obama.

As you can see, those three red dots are the increase in alatility following at least 0. 3 increase in the daily. Ixing that Shows Increased volumes and selling pressure that almost eliminates any of that gain that they might be trying to intervene with in stapling up the selling pressure. The yuan has weakened against the dollar in august. They could have been worse. Rishaad we are talking about the yuan depreciating, but look at the euro and the pound. These are currencies which are on an absolute slide. Xi and obama had talks and they were expectations that they might issue a joint statement. What came out was a fact sheet rather than a statement. The fact that it was mentioned in the fact sheet means that it is important to the u. S. The chinese currency has against thist 70 reference that is quite a lot. I think the u. S. Is a bit concerned. Reporter where do you think it will continue to go . Now that the g20 summit finishes today, bets are that the fed will tighten by december 30 guest as soon as the gain of 20 leaves town [laughter] guest we think we are going to start looking at the bilateral cross. The chinese have always used the Exchange Rate usually as a tool in their bilateral relationship against the u. S. As your story points out, the outflow pressures from china is going on all the time and the closer the fed gets to the next hike, the more that chinese borrowers are trying to get out of u. S. Dollar and hong kong dollar debt into something else, primarily on short debt. That kind of outflow of pressure will continue. It is not a lot. Calls whena lot of we verrilli cnes outflows. They have managed to stabilize the outflows but they have tightened up the capital flows because of the overwhelming bias of getting money out. This mornings headlines the chinese are really serious about not competitively devaluing their currency even more. They could lose more reserves. They could tightened up capital controls. Is that theappen trade weighted basket has been sort of like a Black Diamond run in the first half of the year a skiing reference here. We expected it to find out into a bunny slope. It is going to continue to weaken. Reporter is that the line in the sand for pboc . Reluctanty are really. The key here is that they do not want to spook their own constituents. Firms and housing. , asaad the point being this economy liberalize his and opens up, isnt necessarily a oneway bet . Until they actually restructure their debt, we think that is a oneway debt. It always was, but in another direction. Everybody was getting into assets. Guest he was in the other direction because the fundamentals were pointing the way. In we have a debt problem china that is getting tougher and tougher to resolve and as long as that continues to be the case, the banks will actually be more and more reluctant to lend which means the economy will continue to weekend. Many people will find a rational to send money out of the country. Reform must get a broad, mustnt it . You cannot have these companies the irony is that the banks lend to Larger Companies reform must gea broad, mustnt not to smaller enterprises. Guest china is being a lot of lip service to reform the we think of the top leadership is quite distracted right now. The number one issue for top leadership right now is who is going to be on the Standing Committee next year. That is absorbing all of their attention. I think they want to do something on the reform but they just do not have the bandwidth to really focus on that right now. Reporter political infighting is strong but also, political tailwinds, i guess, pushing to the fdr basket. How significant is that . Is that only significant for china . Look, the way we put it jinpingthe g20 is a xi thing. It is very important for the pboc governor. He sees it as a signature achievement. In terms of overall importance, sdr is0 is here and to here. Right now the reality is that the offshore market is dying. The chinese have been very, the on the currency side is hum control, control, control. They are controlling the market so much that they are squeezing the life out of it. At the exact moment that chinas currency comes of age, it it enters the sdr basket internationalization is actually making it go the other way. Rishaad so you have a very negative outlook . Guest not negative just the truth. [laughter] you can handle the truth, stephen. It is a negative picture you arbitrary. Is there a will to resolve and . Guest if the secession questions are resolved, then, in principle, they have got a couple of plans in place to deal with steel and coal in those are pretty easy to measure and they have got numerical numbers out there. What the g20 is saying is that , you know, give us some measurable progress markers and. It will not be that hard to see whether it is working or not. Rishaad thanks, guys.

Russia and saudi arabia agreed to Work Together as the two biggest oil producers. Outliningshot of details. Vladimir putin told bloomberg that everyone should be on the same page. Was that ifte production was frozen, then everyone should do it, including iran. When iran is starting from a low level has result of sanctions, it would be unfair. I think that from the viewpoint of economic sense and logic, it would be correct to find some sort of compromise. Rishaad lets get more on this and get over to erin clark in tokyo. How our markets reacting . Together . Ment to work right. Like you said, over the weekend, saudi Arabias Deputy Crown prince and russian president Vladimir Putin met in china during the g 20 summit. They discussed ways to stabilize the oil market. They said that they would Work Together as the worlds two largest producers to ensure market stability. What they did not say as how they would do that. A lot of people had been hoping there would be announcement that they would agreed to freeze production, but they did not mention anything about that. The outlines of working together to ensure stability were vague. The market is disappointed by that today. Wti and brenda falling today. Brent are falling today. Rishaad even though oil entered a bull market a few weeks ago, it still trading around 45 a barrel. What is the major factor driving the Price Fluctuations . There are a couple of factors. The first is the next opec meeting later this month in algeria. The idea of freezing production has been floated. Im sure there will be a discussion about that. The big wildcard is iran. There was a proposal earlier this year and producers met to discuss freezing, limiting output, freezing them at existing levels. That did not happen because iran did not join. Iran is returning to International Markets after sanctions were lifted and are trying to boost production to back where they were before sanctions, so we will have to see if there is an agreement this time. The other factor weighing on prices is this oversold oversupply. And refinersut, will have to work through that inventory. Rishaad thank you so much for joining us. We have to take a break. Up next, i look the g 20 as it warns about protectionism. The latest from hangzhou is next. Withad you are back trending business. The Central Bank Governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, making a speech about negative Interest Rates and how it has lowered banking profits and margins. Actuallyto say he is saying it is vital for that 2 inflation target to remain in place. Also, how that will play out when it comes to the economy. He is maintaining that commitment to that 2 goal. That is what we have at the moment. 103. 81. Unmoved at china hasummit in been warned of a populist backlash against trade that is threatening what has been a fragile global recovery. Tell us more about these warnings. Policy makers are very concerned about rising protectionism around the world. They are urging governments and businesses to fight to keep goods flowing across borders. I spoke to the head of the wto and the canadian trade minister. They both said protectionism would have a negative impact on global growth. They explain some of the misinformation about trade. Take a listen. A lot of people say that trade brings about unemployment. Particularly in the developed and more mature economies. That is just plain wrong. Trade accounts for a very small percentage of the unemployment in those countries. Most of the unemployment, more than 80 , comes from innovation or in proved, increased productivity. Against innovation or productivity, but that is the reality. Trade ministers is so important about this is we really have to be rethinking how we think about international trade. It is not just for the big multinational companies. Trade as about finding ways for small and mediumsize companies to get direct access to consumers around the world. We have heard here a lot of talk about the protectionist sentiment. It is really sweeping the world. The canadian trade minister told me that it was right to be worried about protectionism in such an environment. Canada along with many others were worried about the growing antitrade rhetoric coming out of the u. S. During the election year. Rishaad now, what about todays agenda . The big thing is shinzo abe meeting with xi jinping. This could be their first sitdown chat in a while. Shery thats correct. Very closely watched, especially given that we have high tensions over territorial disputes in the east china sea. Thisrces telling us that will be a formal sitdown in the evening, not just a handshake. Handshakehat awkward of the 2014 aipac meeting. Right now, we are seeing growing tensions between the two countries, fortunately not affecting bilateral relations when it comes to business or we are seeing Chinese Tourists going to japan and the largest numbers. In july, it was a record as well. We saw south koreas president meet with xi jinping, there relations frosty after it was announced they would deploy a Missile Shield over south korean soil.

Rishaad indeed, after this meeting in hangzhou, president obama traveling to the asean summit in laos. His last trip up to this part of the world as leader of the u. S. It is very different this time around, isnt it . During his asia trip last year, we saw the signing of a Strategic Partnership as a reason to celebrate. Around, uncertainty over the future of tpp, a cornerstone of president obamas asia pivot. Global commerce, but there has been growing antitrade sentiment in the u. S. , something we have seen in other parts of the world as well. The only way obama can get tpp ratified as during the Lame Congress session. Expect obama to make a case for tpp. Hes likely to ensure asian leaders that tpp will be pushed through. There are other issues like the south china sea. China has said it will ignore the ruling by the hague, and of course the rising threat of zika. All these issues are expected to be on obamas agenda while in laos for the asean summit. Rishaad this is the last set of obama will beat attending, but the first four the philippine president. Are we expecting fireworks . Haslinda sparks maybe, fireworks im not sure. A debut of sorts.
