Lindsay traders in asia will be at their desks well before dawn as the u. K. Decides its future. Currency traders in asia will be at their desk well before dawn is the u. K. Decides its future. Which way is it going to go in your view . It is difficult to say. Aremakers on the markets not particularly clear in terms of the outcome. Is generatingoing a lot of uncertainty in terms of how this plays out, the implications for markets, what that means for volatility. People are not putting forward conviction ideas, so there are very thin markets with volatility. In the near term, unless we get a very clear signal, a decision one way or the other it is binary. If the u. K. Decides to remain, it is all systems go and risk is put back on again. If there is the uncertainty of an actual brexit, then you look at risk markets as being vulnerable and look at the safe havens again rishaad . Th. Rishaad we just heard the tokyo Stock Exchange had saying the yen will go to 100 if we have a brexit. If you look at the safe havens from a currency perspective, it hasnt necessarily been the dollar. ,t has been the yen, the euro and the swiss franc. If there is a brexit vote, that will undermine some implications for the eurozone, so would you want to go back into the euro as the preferred safe haven of choice . No. The yen and the swiss franc will have a field day here. Rishaad we had a currency strategist saying sterling 102nst swiss franc goes to and six months if there is a remain. That was his view. Lets get away from talking about this referendum. I know it is difficult. That is the only game in town. ,snt the yen counterintuitive they just seemingly cant get it going and get their targets in place, that it is a haven. The yen strengthens as a consequence. It is a haven for a simple reason. When you look at havens in general, they tend to be the great recipients of capital flows. U. S. Investors tend to have the Largest Equity Holdings overseas globally. When there is uncertainty and volatility, they bring the money home. The japanese are the largest fixed income holders overseas. Safe havens are all about where does the capital go in times of uncertainty and stress. When there is volatility and uncertainty, japanese investors say i done on to be positioned in that particular market in that particular region. I am bringing the cash home. Rishaad that used to be the carry trade before . It is also an uncertainty and volatility trade. People get spooked and bring their money home. This, in the market know so they try and get ahead of the game in terms of if this is going to be a good environment. Even if there is a remain vote in the u. K. , is there further upside to the yen . It is unlikely. Has ak the yen probably finite move to the upside if there is a move back into risk. When you think about how the yen has tended to trade historically, relative interest the basis of Risk Appetite, and if there is a stronger Risk Appetite, questions in terms of the fed and what they will be doing, then stronger Risk Appetite should mean you sell the yen against other currencies. Rishaad we heard what janet yellen said. An advocate of a strong u. S. Economy, not talking about whether rather than when there will be an Interest Rate hike. Or whether the economy improves. The point is that when you saw the statement she was making, what did you see behind it . What was the undercurrent . The fed isgs, looking at the labor market and inflation. Inflation has picked up. The fed have ignore that for now. Is idea being that inflation largely driven by commodity price rebounds. Has been vocal in arguing that its broad measure of the labor market has been falling for a number of months. It really doesnt look as if the fed are in any position to move in the near term, so the game has changed, focused on inflation, focused on improvement in the economy. 30 againstes russia.

China stepping up stimulus by stealth, saying this will strengthen the hand of the state as policy makers say they want a bigger role for the market. Tom mackenzie has more on this. What kind of stimulus are we talking about here . So ubs and j. P. Morgan are calling this off budget stimulus , and it is focused on some of the policy banks in china that final funding towards governmentbacked projects and local governments. Are thee of these steps following, bond issues come a big uptick in local Government Bond issuance to fund construction. Inhave seen an uptick government spending, taking money from rising land sales as and theyre rise, using that money to Fund Infrastructure projects. And they are getting more involved in privatepublic partnerships, teaming up with private companies. Ubs and j. P. Morgan are saying that if you take these off budgets stimulus measures into account, chinas deficit, rather than being targeted at 3 , is more likely 10 of gdp. That is more likely the clear deficit according to ubs and j. P. Morgan. They are saying it was into question the president s commitment to allow greater market forces. They say these measures tight economy closer to the state. What is the overall debt pile looking like . Well, we have seen and heard a lot about the concerns over the corporate debt pile, 165 debt to gdp. We are seeing defaults, rising numbers of nonperforming loans in the corporate sector, and that is one reason why the corporate sector is staying on the sidelines and not expanding while the local governments are having to step in. The overall total debt pile officially in china is around 245 debt to gdp, but ubs says that if you take these off for budgetall measures into account, its more like 280 . Rishaad quite something. How does this play out when it comes to the governments reform agenda . What these economists are saying is that these measures are being taken to stimulate in the shortterm the local economy, and that is what the government and officials seem to think is needed to hit the 6. 5 growth target that china set itself this year. Make it more do is difficult to implement the reform agenda. Cutting back on overcapacity, productivity increases that many say need to take place, also lowering the barrier into services sector, pressure from the European Union and u. S. On china to open up some sectors here, so the concerns are that some of those reforms will be put on the back table and will be difficult to unwind to some of the stimulus.
