We are working looking toward Central Banks and a possible the virgins but really expected to stand fast on rates, right . Decision dost rate later on today. Having said that of course the expectation of all economists surveyed by bloomberg is there is no change. We have them seen them do a lot already. Some have suggested they have done too much. We will get a gauge of how the economy has been affected. Lets go to the corporate news. Were going to get some analysis now of this buyer monsanto story. You can tell us where we are going next. Have andrew standing by talking about that buyer deal with my center. It has been years in the making but what about the 66 billion deal that could be hung up in regular regulatory issues. There is some investors that are kind of concerned about that. Andrew there are regulators concerned. The companies concerned it will require approval from 30 jurisdictions and that is including europe, brazil, the u. S. , canada, to name a few. And it is going to have two sell some assets. Likely acids are going to be cottonseed, some of its herbicide efforts and also some canola seed acids. The logic behind the combination here . Andrew the logic is size. This deal will make them worlds biggest supplier of crop chemicals, seeds, basically everything agricultural. It is essentially a onestop shop that will have 26 billion a year in sales alone. Before the deal goes through. The other thing about the logic at this time is monsanto shares were beaten down a fair amount last year coming into this year. And this deal is done in a time when they can take advantage of cheap debt and it will be eps accreted as soon as the deal is done. How will regulators look at this deal . They will examine this closely. The reason is that there is if this goes through as it is theres going to be three chemical crop Chemical Companies from six just a year ago. In dupont willw merge. Thanks for joining us. Andrew hauled joining us with the later asked the latest on the buy it monsanto. And the first of three crucial policy decisions in the next few days.

They are in the unenviable position of trying to figure out how the uks economy will look in the month had and we have not even had a brexit yet. We have had a vote but nobody really knows what the conditions of the uks economy will be at the relevant policy timeline the boe has to do with. David that is a good point. That has led to this unexpected sweep sweet spot. Go with the economic reality that he will likely have to deal with one or two years down the road. Lets start with what we expect for tonight. Were not expecting anything. , that basically shows the probability which is virtually 100 that rates are at. 2 5 . Nt we talk about the unexpected sweet spot, there is a great preview piece on the website that takes us through this positive reality that the uks economy will ask has been experiencing the last two months or so. One of the things that has happened is the week current, it has provided some kind of temporary soothing in terms of the brexit vote pain. It is down against every single major currency. And this bounceback that we are seeing across these different economic metrics in the u. K. , a lot of that has to do with the weak currency. Whether that is the flow of tourists coming in, whether that is the composite pmi, let me bring up that chart. I think this gives us a very it is a bloomberg chart and what it will show you is this bounceback that a lot of people have been talking about and what it tells you about where growth is at the moment. Were looking at. 3 . Full frame. His what it shows you, and is a bounceback and at that level that suggests. 2 growth.

Apple is looking to the new version of its flagship device to and two quarters of sales declines. The iphone is being released this friday. The bank of japan has gained an influential ally. Ofckrock says investor fears being crowded out by the boj is etf purchases are overblown. Only 3 of the 5 trillion market the bojs 58 billion dollar Bond Buying Program could make some stocks harder to treat. Lets check in on the Market Action because global selloff were seeing is continuing right here in asia with stocks falling first for the sex the day. Looks like volunteer volatility is back. It was triggered when the fed governor found a little sounded a little more hawkish. Where do we go to next ahead of next weeks decision . Guest it is a very tricky situation as you said. The fed would like to some point move away from 50 basis points, maybe raise another 25 but every time they have a window of opportunity to do it you get a tantrum from equity markets or bond markets that make their job difficult. Bothou notice this week bonds and equities have sold off so it will make their job on the september of difficult. I think they will go 25 basis points. What if that is the case are you doing when it comes to Investment Strategy . Right now were seeing the dollar go all of the place and yields as well. Guest the market is pricing added 25 chance the fed will go in september. Maybe a 50 chance they raise twice five basis points by december. Just because they did 25 this year if they do it does not mean that in 2017 youre going to get a series of rate hikes from the fed. At the most next year you will get another 25 or 50 and 2017. The. Plot from the fed is a lot higher. Rangexed income market is bound. Low rates are done because the fed does not want to get to zero or negative i do not see a big air market in bonds. It will be a slow gradual grind higher up and yields as long as we have had. Anna i was looking at the treasuries earlier and those interested in what that tells you about inflation and citations. You have a preference for low interest duration. Not necessarily in the u. S. Explain your fixed income strategy to us then. Guest what happens is that the tells youf the market that the market expects inflation to be very low. It said that the fed is not going to raise rates anytime soon. If they do they are preempted and you do not see inflation running away. Generally what happens is when the central bank starts to normalize Interest Rates at the short end, it is up to maybe the fiveyear part of the curve that sells of because that is the part that watches with the fed does. The long and has some inflation him. Um and term pretty the curve will flatten if the market thinks this set is ahead of the curve. Over time it starts to flatten as well. There is no inflation. It is all about inflation and we do not see inflation much around the world. Anna leaving the u. S. To one side, we have the bank of england rate decision. The boe has done a lot to get ahead of any brexit weekend weakness. Give us an International Investors perspective away see happening in the u. K. Right now. The if you think about four Central Bank Meetings that are coming up, you have got the bank of england, their job is a little bit easier because the currency has done all the work. The pound has fallen quite a bit against most major currencies. So generally when the currency falls it makes your exports a little bit cheaper and kickstarter economy. That is as similar to easing Monetary Policy and the bank of england rate is twice five basis points. I do not think we will change those rates. The bond markets have rallied quite a bit. I do not see any change immediately from the bank of england because they have to work through brexit. No tightening of Monetary Policy at all outside the u. S. Is anticipated in any of the economies so it comes down to the fed and even the fed is a very slow rise in rates. Otherwise easy Monetary Policy supports risk assets or should support equity markets. About in your neck of the woods, what is the rv expected to do is to mark we have a new Central Bank Governor and we are looking at the aussie dollar, is it at fair value . Theaustralia is economy slowing down because of the economy boom bust cycle. Are countries that pay you money to buy the bonds. Todays employment numbers, they were week that on average in 2016 on a monthly basis this trillion economy has created 8000 jobs compared to 25,000 jobs in 2015. You are feeling the impact of the slowdown. The rba is in tough spot. Ut they will be on hold 1. 5 seems a fair value for the rba. He aussie dollar as well as at . 74. Anything in the low 60s is cheap. Anything higher is expensive. I do not see the rba moving anytime soon. They are worried about the bubble in the Housing Market if there is such a thing angie you still have to look at the domestic issues. We will leave it there. Thank you for joining us. Coming up, japans biggest trading houses shifting away from commodities and into services. This is bloomberg. You anna welcome back.
