all these inflation questions being asked today. mark carney was touring the u.k. earlier and he says inflation can overshoot the bank of england's 2% target. that is what investors are talking about today, to what extent will the bank of england allow inflation to overshoot its target. the ecb is buying corporate everett bonds. one of the big -- corporate government bonds. isn't it running out of bonds to buy? some are below the deposit rate. one is atp, down by .42% which ecb,the question of the what can it do in markets, credit markets is coming to an end. so many questions and so little time to answer them. let's get over to julie hyman with the latest. julie: maybe the ecb can start buying marmite is part of quantitative easing. the u.s. averages are holding pretty well even in the weaker than estimated consumer confidence, falling to its lower -- lowest level in over a year. all three averages holding on to gains, and it is a broad-based rally. we have three groups in the red at this point, utilities, energy, and real estate but other than that, a swath of green with tech and materials leaving the game. are the big corporate story as we got earnings out from jpmorgan that beat estimates, citigroup coming out and beating estimates, and wells fargo for that matter. wells fargo has turned lower asset calls and jpmorgan barely hanging on to a gain, interesting giving the fact -- given the fact that the numbers look better than broadly estimated. i want to look at the fixed income trading revenue within jpmorgan, we have seen that as a trend among the banks, day and citigroup both reporting big gains. the year-over-year gain in fixed income trading revenue, up 48%, 35% at citigroup. banks, away from the looking at what is going on in the bond market. janet yellen is speaking in boston this afternoon. ahead of that, the two year yield unchanged, a bump up on the longer end of the curve and yields. we will see how this progresses. we will be watching the bond market very closely as we hear from chair yellen. vonnie: thank you. let's check in on the bloomberg first word news. courtney: the u.k.'s exit negotiations with the eu will be controlled by a select group of 12 ministers from theresa may's cabinet. that is according to unpublished documents obtained by bloomberg. it could be another sign that p.m. is planning a clean break from the union. members of the cabinet include boris johnson. nicola sturgeon says she will publish a draft of the scottish ,eferendum bill next week saying she is threatening to if --up england -- u.k. some republican donors are calling on the republican national committee to disavow donald trump according to the says thetimes, which donors believe allegations of sexual misconduct are expected to inflict lasting damage on the party. donald trump reportedly plans to blame mexican billionaire carlos slim for groping allegations against him. trump will say that slim, a donor to the clinton foundation has an interest in aiding clinton's campaign. the times published an article with two women accusing trump of inappropriate touching. he denied the claims. global news 24 hours a day, powered by our 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am courtney donohoe. equities rising in london for the first time in four days, mining shares taking the lead. china's factory gain prices rose for the first time since 2012. the ftse still heading for a drop. says u.k. yields are screamingly cheap. mike, thanks for joining us. this is a lovely short. ftse 250, and the ftse local u.k. index, most of those majority, basically a of their earnings come from the u.k. ftse, from overseas. it is roughly 50/50. u.k.tse up 100 by 5%, the centric inditex down 10%. at u.k. you look equities on a cyclically adjusted basis, adjusted for inflation, they look very cheap and the reason is because earnings have already undergone extremely fast. earnings are the low point of the cycle and that suggests that the reason is predominantly because of the weakness you have seen and commodity market over the past few years. think the oil prices will be going higher and you will see a stabilization and other commodities, and that will help earnings or cover. chart tell the story as well? this is the ftse dividend yield, the 10 year yield. 1.1%. definitely. u.k. equities, particularly if you look at the large cap space, but very attractive from a dividend perspective. a 4% yield, you compare that with a government bond at 1.1%. clearly you are getting extra income from taking the risk and u.k. equities. equities areonment low and people will look to earn income and the only way they can do that is getting exposed to equities. bloomberg has an exclusive story out showing that theresa may's picks for brexit negotiations, the top negotiators are all for hard brexit. with this cause you to have any sort of other concerns about british stocks were stocks based in london? mike: we think a hard brexit is definitely going to be bad for the u.k. domestic economy. it argues quite strongly i think for favoring those large cap u.k. companies, where the majority of their revenues come from outside the u.k. when the domestic economy weakens and the pound weakens, there are exporters who are benefiting from having that weakness. vonnie: what do you say to clients who say, i am concerned about it getting weaker and getting weaker quickly. what are they doing? mike: if you look at sterling against the dollar relative to a long-term purchasing power parity fair value, it already looks pretty cheap so it is more than two standard deviations cheap relative to that long-term purchasing power value. of howes make a question much further sterling has to fall from these levels. perhaps we have seen the majority of that move already. mark: i was just saying at the top of the hour about the sterling forecast. deutsche bank saying 1.15 by the end of the year. bank of america is saying we could go to the record low 1.05 by the end of next year. d think that is sounding a little too bearish? mike: it is possible but it seems unlikely. realistic ands you could even see 1.15 with a push. mark: before inflation expectations for the break even. mark carney telling us today in nottingham they are doing their tour of the country, that the bank of england is willing to look through inflation. but then can overshoot market does not believe him because the expectations for further loosening this year are very slim. economists say we will still see further loosening. how does the bank cope? mike: they should look through it because clearly, the fall in sterling is reflecting the weakness of the u.k. economy is likely to experience as a result of a hard brexit. to raise rates or to not stimulate further i think would be the wrong thing. if anything they need to do more stimulus given the weakness of the u.k. economy. it will become more apparent once the implications of a hard brexit play out. even the0 year break has been rising very sharply, suggesting the r.b.i. over the next 10 years is going to average close to 10%. that seems unlikely when you barry in mind there is a good probability that we will get a recession, almost a certainty that you will get a recession. it is going to put downward pressure on inflation globally and adding that the temporary temporary, i think it is unlikely that inflation will be that high for that long. mark: mike dell, global strategist at j.p. morgan asset management. vonnie: in ohio, p them is campaigning for hillary clinton. ispresident obama campaigning for hillary clinton. this is bloomberg. ♪ mark: live from london, i am mark barton counting you down to the european close. 15 minutes away. vonnie: from bloomberg world headquarters in new york, i am vonnie quinn. i want to turn to erik schatzker has been listening in on that earnings call. for wells fargo. : it seems like the opportunity for this to turn into high drama has come and gone. the new ceo and cfo appeared to have succeeded in preventing this conference call from becoming the kind of debacle we saw at the senate banking committee or the house financial services committee when the former ceo john stumpf was testifying. on this call, these executives have been calm, their tone has been measured, not defensive which was something we saw from stumpf. the have taken cover under board investigation into the sales practices that produced those fake checking and credit card accounts. shearman ins hired sterling to conduct the investigation and as a result they are saying there is not much they can comment on. to the degree that they can say anything or whether it is within their purview to say anything, the answer has mostly been yes, our costs are going to increase as we have to hire more people for compliance and risk. we expect that might be in a range of tens of millions of dollars per year but we cannot forecast what our litigation reserves are and what kind of an impact it will have on our business long-term. part of the reason is these are depend on the firm for continued access to financials and guidance. they do not have the kind of bully pulpit that senators on the banking committee tonight. minnesota getting stumpf foret at john the impact on customers. there is no drama, there are no fireworks like that. $.23 butstock is down it is a 44 and a half dollar stock so it is a minimal decline. reporting earnings that ever so slightly beat expectations for the past quarter. everything being talked about is looking ahead and we are not getting much of a sense of what lies in store for wells fargo. vonnie: erik, thank you. you can follow along the earnings call with our commentary from our reporters and analysts. you can click and follow on. mark: 4:18 london, 11:18 new york. the prime minister's honeymoon period seems to be over as she tries to get written out of the eu. we will have the latest with the u.s. president, the barack obama. this is bloomberg. ♪ vonnie: live from london and new york, i am vonnie quinn. mark: i am mark barton, this is european close on bloomberg markets. nine minutes to go into the end of the session. prime minister theresa may is getting a harsh reality check. she forced a parliamentary vote and says she is meaning to trigger it on her own. .imon kennedy joins us theresa may's honeymoon over? simon: possibly. she had a tough week and she has had a pretty good three months in the job. she got the job as a coronation by standing still while everyone else rode around her. to theek, on the road brexit she had to bow to parliamentary pressure to give them a say and perhaps ultimately a vote on her brexit plan. she had the courts that you spoke to, banks threatening to leave london. nicola sturgeon talking about a possible referendum, all these add up. mark: there are going to be weeks like this in the next few years. meanwhile, a committee of 12 has been set up that will negotiate all matters brexit. it is the divide of the committee, the set up the has caught our attention. simon: it is the composition. a lot of brexiteers, hard brexit people. andrea leadsom, a challenger to the prime minister. people like boris johnson. be a hard brexit? is certainly suggestive this is a panel dominated by people who lead to the hard end of the spectrum. the scottish secretary, that question of whether that ends up being left off the table, no place for londoners. there has been some pressure on the london mayor for a committee but it is the competent -- composition that is diverse. vonnie: cable did not move all that much. it is weaker a little bit but we are still just under $1.22 to the market was not anticipating her group would be made up of hardliners. ison: i feel the market starting to tune into hard brexit. the pound is becoming a bit of a barometer of how much she can achieve on the hard side of the equation. the pound is down when hard brexit hits the headlines and in the when sand gets wheels as it did with the court case and parliamentary hearing. vonnie: even gilt yields are climbing. sort of the opposite reaction you would anticipate. investors must be ok with this. simon: i am not sure the gilt yield is necessary. the inflationary risks like we saw yesterday with the so-called marmite episode, the gilt yields are reacting to this idea that the brexit could ultimately me higher inflation. mark: he says they are going to overlook it. simon: i think weight -- they will try to side with trying to protect growth. mark: another story which is fascinating with bankers, who do they go to, to vent their frustration? there is a lot of departments out there, aren't they? simon: this is a big issue across the city of london. bloomberg noting that a lot of bankers are saying they do not and who to call. when they call the department they are told, you need the department of cell and so. downing street says you should come and talk to us. a lot of confusion and communication issues. it is another thing that the banks are starting to feel a bit offended when it comes to brexit. they already feel that theresa may is not ranking them high enough or prioritizing their issues when she talks about immigration or access to the single market. if there continues to be this lack of clarity they might start exercising their contingency plans. mark: simon kennedy, bloomberg's brexit editor. 4:25, five minutes away from the friday close. he started the week with gains and it looks like we will end with gains. yesterday was about china, today is about china, two different stories. 600, we werero going into the possibility with a third week of decline. it could come to an end. this is bloomberg. ♪ here in london with vonnie quinn in stockton. every industry group rising. there it is up 1.5 percent. weekly gain after two weeks of losses. still down in october. china dictating markets. risk assets rising, because we had the increase in factory price inflation. china no longer exporting deflation. biggest rise since 2009. this is the biggest publicly traded hedge fund. acid growth beating estimates. it also announced m&a today. and announced a share buyback of $100 million. 2% lower, falling on concerned it is a $43 billion changeover by china. china planning to merge -- the hold of andrnment to prices paid this according to be clear with the assets. entering the final stages of the completion. shares down by 2%. to raise as much as $14 billion of capital impasses. the chief executive pushed to shore up its finances. shares are up by 2%. to avoid being forced into sales of ecb capital requirements on areas. seeking to build up capital and requirements, which are being compounded by the bank's complex structure across 17 european countries. 2%, this has absolutely been hammered in 2016. the i'm gone straight to dollar index as a way of looking at what is going on in the markets. looking at similar levels. the yen is weaker. i thought we would have a look at that. it is strengthening once again today. he has succeeded the crook -- succeeded the throne. yields are still higher. let's take a look at the broader u.s. markets. the industrial average is up 4/10 of 1%. not so many gains in the s&p 500. let's go to the nasdaq in midtown manhattan. rebound. looking at a today's rally is starting to fade. now up to tenths of 1% just over the last couple of minutes. this could be part of that. is higher,nasdaq this is all about the chips. we are seeing a big rebound. is --long is saying he both should be boosted by positive catalysts. including improving demand among others. the big chip winner is amd advanced devices. reaching a deal with alibaba to have amd graphic chips in alibaba cloud services. this could really mean a big comeback for this company. dominated by intel. you take a look at bte. this is a two-year chart to really give perspective to the big run-up. of amd back above the 50 day moving average. recently they have begun to we have congestion here. sometimes that breaks out to the upside. >> what else is trading higher?
