Are we we are watching this whole movement in rhetoric from the u. S. And the ukraine is something that is on the back burner. New zealand raises rates and this is significant. Developed nations have to raise the rates. That is going to be in the midst mix. Performing base metal out there, and terms of industrialized nations. The investment and retail sales disappointed. Let us see what is going on in the dax and it was indicated that it was down a little bit lower. Lets see if we can refresh this and get a truer reflection of what is going on. You can see that we are just marginally higher around the core of europe and something that we were referring to was a few different things. , the worst, copper performer of the medals.

Euro is a value of the that comes into yen ever so slightly. Thank you so much. Manus cranny on the markets. Joining me today is james, the chief Investment Officer at investment management. It is great to have you on the program. Talk to me a little bit about china. We have disappointing news and therems that every day, is something that investors should worry a bit more about. Are you cautious on china . If so, how do you protect yourself . That thesad to say official data has always been i think,iscussion and it is much more realistic. Under of what is going on. There is a warning light out there. The carrier trade is unwinding and the overall picture. I am cautious on the outlook for china and the credit bubble that i suspect will unwind messy in asia. m not optimistic none of this is priced in. The markets will freak out when they realize what is happening in china. The thing we had to argue is that the key Central Banks remain accommodative. All, we just had a 50 basis points adjustment in the u. K. I think quantitative easing in the United States will continue for a while longer. The run rate is 92 billion. T is very clear more than six months of qe . Find it inwe will the states beyond september and we have at least six more months of continued buying. Even then, there is no expectation that the rates will continue to rise to support the bond market. It . Ou are not expecting i am not. It is a high risk premier and it was in favor of equities. Corporate earnings numbers are good and very supportive. The indicators are not bad and we still have investors and the asset class that our team to apply money. Us your favorite asset class for the next two quarters. European equities. There are fantastic opportunities and i love the results this morning. Tohink that the chair needs be over 20 euros and that is what i am looking for. I want to ask about some of your top text. Ill ask you about vivendi. The chief Investment Officer. , here is what else is coming up on on the move. We will have more on the takeaways for the worlds biggest economy. Talking about plans to triple profit. The efficiency push is taking off and we will have more on that next. On thelondon, this is move. Were streaming on your phone, your tablet, and on bloomberg. Com. This is one of the movers we are watching this morning. It is down 10 in the trading session and this is after we had comments from the Supermarket Chain that said that the forecast of annual profits will drop. It is 10. 7 lower. It is losing the most since 2004. We are getting pictures from angela merkel, who was talking in parliament in berlin. Lets have a look at the live pictures that we are getting and she is updating her fellow parliamentarians in the ukraine. Ryan chilcote is with that story. Well have more on that. She has been saying, and this is something we have heard from other World Leaders that the crimea vote is unconstitutional and that russia is exploiting the weakness of the ukraine. Any breaking you news from merkel. I sat down with george soros an exclusive interview and i asked him about him seeing a Market Correction in china. The marker ofeen andth for the last 10 years since 2008. Growth as theig a american consumer. That eventually ran out of resources. It is also running out. Without a growth model that needs to be changed. . Is that your biggest concern are you expecting a Market Correction . I think a Market Correction is occurring right now. Hink the authorities are the chinese authorities are dealing with it. You know, the growth was maintained in the last couple of years by smoke and mirrors. It was over invoicing exports. That there anything u. S. Can do or should do to give a heads up to emerging markets . Do they need to be more inclusive . It would be better if there was coordination. Time, the u. S. Economy is actually relatively the best functioning. It is a reflection on the global economy. Still with us is james, the chief Investment Officer. Thank you for staying with us. We talked about china before him. We are seeing a little bit of correction internally. You are cautious on china. A lot of people are cautious on china. How do you play it, from a portfolio point of view. Was overrrent problem extension of credit. It was bizarre, but true. Discovering that they have the capacity to have stronger Balance Sheets and led to an economy that is beginning to recover. Up andn banks can trade there is plenty of upside. I think some european banks are going to be very interesting. This would be something that you would take a position in ahead of the asset quality review for periphery . Think the banks, italy and france, they are well played and the asset review is clearly going to be something that they have a lot of interest in. I think, at that point, the market can decide to move on. Do you want to invest before . That wenct in this is had to take a position ahead of the review. That is one of the things that george soros is saying. Baking stocks inappropriate are still depressed. It is down to. 2 . Is this something that you own . U. K. Growthbout the story. 5 billion in support for the consumer tape from not Domestic Support and i am not sure that that can be repeated. Pretty billion in sterling came into National Accounts from compensation payments from the banks and back to consumers. In contrast to the state where it was with the government. If you anticipate that the numbers were a duck, you have to assume that the consumer is going to remain extremely cautious. I suspect that the Strong Movement says a lot about how and theye anticipating are going to begin to behave. They will support the upper end of the market. In the middle, where it is heavy in real estate, it will remain badly squeeze. Exactly, that is why morrison is down. Propositions are difficult to change quickly. They have to reposition themselves . In the middle is where you get squeezed if you are a supermarket. Yes, exactly. With electrical retail space, everybody said that you wanted electrical retailer. If you look at how well dixons is doing with their capacity to sell, theyre outperforming their competitors and the idea of it is proving popular. Profit margins are rising. Who would have said that in the midst of the recession . Bright cant are reinvent themselves. The only fly in the open is that the real estate is in poor position, relative to where it a need to be. You have not mentioned in todds a. Is it airlines in general . Did falle purchases and so did productivity. Build is, the new going to be much less depressing of prices. At the lufthansa possibility of lower fuel costs. Traffic numbers should rise reasonably and looked onto is very cheap at the moment. That is one of the things we are watching in todays trading session. The chief investment of the investment management. What else is coming up on on the move . Lufthansa, we were talking about the german airline. They make a big bet and they have all the details after the break. The banks will release their annual report later this morning. Ons nichols will be speaking uber gv. Do not miss the interview. Welcome back to on the move. Here are companies on the move. There is a bit for the cash component. Push. Proved offer hiring a veteran. Spent 20 years at nissan and ford. His experience may benefit as they push into markets like china. Consumers are turning away from lean cuisine. Hardcuisine is being hit by the fact that the lowcalorie dinner is to unhealthy and expensive. Thing that we are watching is one of the big losers in the trading session. More since released earnings this morning. There is a profit job and trying to sell property. Manus cranny joins us. , u break it down you have stores they will not stores that they are already using that are over 300 million pounds. And we are getting rid of the bank business. Use and it iso like getting the bazooka out. You take the 2013 numbers and you slap down all of the writedown. At the same time, you take the crown jewels and the property. Ortfolio that is why institutional taking thatve been billion pounds. Your feed in with price cuts and strategy to revamp the stores. It comes into play this year. This is a big statement by dawson phillips. They are losing market share budget conscious shoppers shop there. Yes. That is 100 correct. Business andn there is record sales. Is 33 in the 12 weeks at the beginning of march. We spoke to institutions and they said it was not just the germans in markets. They got it wrong and they went after higher and fresh food at the time when everybody was turning to other brands. That takes me back to look backwards. That theyn warns should not ignore the core customer. You can blame the germans. It is fine to blame the germans. When you are in the isle yourself, that is not getting anywhere. We have a profit warning and they say theyre making half as much next year. On theve gone all in bazooka. That is why the stock is down. Manus cranny is there. Lufthansa is high after posting full earnings. The carrier says that they plan to triple profit within two years. David tweed has been covering lufthansas turnaround. What will drive the prophet gain . It is all about the shorthaul tom subdivision brands of the german wings carrier. This is a lowcost carrier that looks as if they are transitioning shorthaul flights that are working well. The other thing theyre looking at is upgrading the premium and firstclass business. Ande adding premium economy this is being reflected in the share price. There are big gains today. It is up as much as seven percent. To thell the way back up highest since the end of 2007. Lufthansa is going to allow us to turn these on during flight. This is an android, a samsung android. We will be able to stream Inflight Entertainment onto mobile devices. That is going to be available on flights to north africa and the middle east and some of the former soviet republics soon. Quickly, it is dangerous, yeah. You could say it is dangerous. The ceo said that it is for that reason that they are not going to take this product that is coming out to israeli airlines. Lufthansa says it is absolutely safe, francine. Thank you very much with the latest on lufthansa. Coming up, tensions are approaching cold war levels and moscow is preparing for impending sanctions. We will give you the latest on the standoff next. Move. Come back to on the these are the Bloomberg Top headlines. The chinese from your sister there is flexibility around the growth targets of 7. 5 . There is a slowdown that leaders will tolerate. The january through february industrial output rose through january. Intnam failed to find avery an area where chinese satellite images showed. The search for the malaysians airline jet enters a six day. That is according to the wall street journal who say people who are familiar with the details. Russian government officials and businessmen are preparing for sanctions and retaliation for the ukraine crisis. Merkel says that therell be new sanctions on russia that are unavoidable if Vladimir Putin does not diffuse the crisis. The 21st century and we do not solve conflicts through military means. We do not invade these complex. We are ready for dialogue and that does not have any effect. We will take into account sanctions. Speech at the bundestag has finished. She says that she is going to ds going to ukraine tensions. She is also saying that russia is risking economic and political harm to itself. Stay with ukraine,. Obama is canceling or postponing ukraine that could make part of russia. Ryan chilcote has the latest. We just heard from merkel. We heard yesterday from president obama that the rhetoric is heating up. We have a sense that the rhetoric is ratcheting up in the west in the United States and in the address to the bundestag. I think the key quote here is that she said that europe must stand up to russia. Wood is interesting about that is that people single out germany as the least likely to stand up to russia. Of the natural gas that comes from russia. 50 billion worth of exports to russia every year. The fact that she is talking tough is significant because they are seen as the weakest link in getting russia to do something and because of that skin in theeconomic game, if you will, merkel is seen as somebody who could resolve this and somebody that Vladimir Putin would talk to. How is russia taking this . They seem to be taking this seriously. The kremlin is sticking to their ground. Because theyre taking this seriously does not mean that they are losing resolve. We are talking to people who are inside the preparations at the kremlin were talking to business and they are ready for sanctions. What does that mean . That means that russia is ready and preparing for the possibility that reserves to be frozen and banking reserves to russiann and lending to companies to be frozen. They say that this is the worstcase scenario and a lot of them are saying that this would a road all decade of Monetary Policy gains in russia has come a long way. At the same time, you do not see youe desk you not see do not see anybody sure away from the competition. Thank you for that update every we will be keeping an eye on the situation with anything that we here. Turning to turkey, protests are continuing across the nation. We are joined from istanbul with the details. Bad and turkey again. Tens of thousands of people andhe streets last night there were clashes between priests desk the police and protesters the police and protesters. A Police Officer is reported to have died. Last year sense of plus antigovernment protesters the once again, police used force and protests are expected to die down today. The conversation is continuing and people are expressing their anger against the government and their grief. There is mounting pressure on the Prime Minister. Protesters are angry and want justice. The Prime Minister refuses to show any responsibility whatsoever and he was on live tv yesterday saying that he did not about hisuestion death or show any consolation. That is what people want justice. Thank you so much. The annual meeting of Chinas Parliament concluded stay after a week of policy debate. For more on what is next, we are joined by the founder of the China Market Research group. Every day or two days, we have disappointing news for china and markets choose to say that the government has everything under control. Are you optimistic about . We have a large correction because of what china is going through. Is great to see you and when i was here, i said that Consumer Confidence is at the lowest i have seen and that the economy is quite weak. What we see as the feeling that im getting the consumer translating to low retail sales. 11. 8 and Industrial Production came in at 8. 6 growth. It is lower than what most economists estimated. It still remains very weak. Investors remain cautious over the next weeks. We are seeing consumers getting quite concerned and, that being said, we have seen wages be relatively strong in the new year. We are going to sue the government allowing slow growth and you are not going to see massive quantitative easing in the next month. I expect them to do more of that during the year. The next month will be a week time frame. Interesting. Overall, i said that he has doubts about the growth targets that they put in place. Is that you optimistic . I think it is easy to get to the growth target. The government is building the largest bridge right now between northeast china. It is easy to juice up Infrastructure Projects and hit the gdp growth number. The bigger issue is, to the government care about it much mark what are the harmful things the economy by trying to go to 7. 5 . Im concerned with the increasing of nonperforming loans and im concerned about the government putting more power. They seem to think the problem with the economy is not
