That is more of a shocking call myself. Reflecting back on where to put your money whether in the United States of america or indeed in asia, we just had a conversation with admin chang and it is still a hard market to choose. Referring dollars as the global currency of choice. Equity is part of the sentiment, france, germany likewise. The u. K. Retail sales will come out of the warm weather that we are having here in the netted kingdom, how will that impact sales. A couple individual names, i wonder if arm is actually moving. The ceo making comments last 1. 24 ,there you go, up in theory more dividends to come. Those are comments from the ceo. Lets have a little bit of a look at some of the other individual names. This was for the technology outage, rbs out west. 6. 5 million customers in 2012, they have cut their earningspershare and this is all to do with the weather. Using our heating much. It lowers their , originallyshare they said 21 pants on the earningspershare, mild weather and the margins fall by 4 . Senkrupp,roop first annual profit in four years. Caroline will run you through that. They still have to break even before they managed to sell that again. Work, manus cranny. That is the market open. The big news out of france, we will get you those pmis, manufacturing in at 47. 6, services in at 48. 8 and that is a very slight beat. 38. 4 is also on this, wherever you look at it forget the estimates that it is firmly in contraction territory. We are joined by Stephen Jones the chief Investment Officer and he looked at more than 50 billion pounds in assets great to have you with us. Manufacturing, contraction services and territory again it does not look pretty for france. I think that is a pattern that has been wellestablished over the last couple of quarters and without france coupled up driving europe than europe as a whole suffers. Picture is one that has caught the attention of the ecb and we cant forget that action has been taken by draghi in the council. Some of to to affect the weakness. This is the number two economy in the eurozone, germany not doing much better how do you investor on this . Cautiously is the way we would invest. Basis it is very clear that europe is not the place to be at the moment. You can pick up some value out of european stocks, especially some of the dividend payers and the reliable income which has been supported but geographic basis clearly they are better off elsewhere. Where is that 50 billion at work . It is at work in markets rather than cash. We think cash is a very expensive asset class to hold. There are still six income markets despite some of the doomed stories around that asset class. Where are the opportunities in fixed income,. 8 in germany and even france around 2 , where are the opportunities . You are right to highlight the expensive Government Bond markets but there is something to be said there. We do not see Central Banks raising rates anytime soon and ,n that sort of environment they still represent a positive return. There inopportunity fixed income is a run credit investing and we still think there is value in investing great credit and there are better quality names that could add some value. A lot of Companies Come and issue euro evaluated debt and the yields are low, where is the opportunity . The opportunity is relative to cash. You are in an environment where we believe Central Banks and even in the u. S. Are far more advanced in other parts of the Global Economy that are not going to raise rates for another year. Environment some areas of the credit market are still a valuable investment opportunity. That is just the u. S. Leading the Interest Rate charged in a year time. We are still in an easing cycle in europe with negative rights being plied on cash deposits now and also a central bank that looks set to do more in terms of buying assets and bonds and buying credit potentially. Even here in the u. K. Everyone pushing back there forecast, the bank of england pushing back to the Fourth Quarter. Back threeng it quarters. We are looking at china after the manufacturing data there disappoints, a lot of speculation about what the peoples bank of china might do, we will talk more about the fed after the break with Stephen Jones. Century cut its fullyear profit outlook, what does the market do . 1. 34 . Own we will break down the statement after the break. Welcome back i am Jonathan Ferro live from the city of london. Lets get straight to business and talk about the fed. The Federal Reserve minutes were released yesterday evening with little excitement. From reading to the details there certainly did not seem to be much of a fight put up over ending quantitative easing. They were showing reluctance to acknowledge it in the statement because it may implied it may imply they caved more than they did. Cared more than they did. Lets bring back Stephen Jones the chief Investment Officer at kanes capital. The fed has a track record and that is one of being over optimistic. Trot,ing global back limiting impact on the u. S. Economy, do you agree with that . I think the fed recognizes constantly that the majority of the u. S. Economic activity and their jurisdiction is domestically focused. It is not despite having a global influence a globally engaged economy. Occupy the majority of the feds mind. In that context it is quite sensible that the 15 was externally influenced and perhaps being slightly detrimentally affected. Just a weakening in global growth. It isnt that much of a concern at the moment. Of the backdrops is the decline in oil price. And saidhrough them that may offset the strength of the dollar on the currency side. How much of a boost is that . Two things about oil, it will challenge them quite hard on their inflation target in the near term. Well see the numbers out later today and cpr reacts quite ignition only significantly to some of the oil prices we has seen coming through and that pushes a profile lower into the end of the year and gives the fed more scope to keep rates lower for longer in our view. Think that on a two or three inflation returns toward the target. Theyre quite comfortable to take the shortterm falling inflation to help stimulate the u. S. Economy. , you can gets real varying estimates of how much money the u. S. Spends on gasoline but it is certainly over 500 billion. That is coming off 10 to 15 , prices at the pump having fallen is a significant and Immediate Tax cut and pushing to the consumer and smaller meeting businesses. That reinforces the fact that growth in the u. S. Will continue to be strong and slightly above trends. The fed actually quite likes that situation. Andets talk about markets where you put the money, the previous meeting before october there was an acknowledgment of a stronger dollar and what it could mean and they have dropped that concern this time around. For me that means it is a free pass for the dollareuro to shoot high and the dollaryen to shoot low. Elsertainly like everybody , and this is a slight concern, dollar assets are a tractive. Economic the fundamentals but from the currency strength it is a symptom of the strong economic fundamentals. We continue to run with that into the end of the year. Strong,ar is uniformly the yen is the poster child of how strong the dollar is coupled with the domestic assets in the japanese state to depreciate and devalue their currency to help their own situation. The dollar is strong across the board and significantly across emergingmarket currencies as well. We cannot ignore that as an investor and we have to sponsor it. Final question for you, as i woke up and did my reading, i ran across problems interrupting from solutions. Sitting in front of me talking about the fed and saying lower for longer and then we talk about the dynamic in the credit markets that Central Banks will state easy and get back in there, what is the endgame . Is the ende game is a. We are not too hot and not too cold economic growth. Leveries that can do and where companies can continue to make money and in Central Banks, i would pass that on with employment growth and when that definitely figures in a lot of the rhetoric from all Central Banks that need labor to be engaged and are gently inclined to participate in the fruit of economic recovery. A tight rope that they are walking, it always is but in my opinion there probably doing quite well at the moment. To beenough growth realistic and supportive of credits and Investment Opportunities and securities markets. Andhreat of inflation Interest Rates that may stay lower for longer. Thets funny that we use word goldilocks because without being confrontational it probably belongs in books. Stimulus and low rates and we are still not in a position where we can have a 25 races point rate hike. What makes you think that in the next 12 months things will change. Change . The fact that this has been , and on for five years certainly this is an economy that has seen some reform of the youing system in the u. S. Have seen a combination of Central Government spending alongside economic recovery has produced good growth, good employment with unemployment having fallen from 7 down to 6 in the u. S. , it seems to work. There is a fascination in markets that once to see Central Banks fail and they are determined not to and will continue to pursue growth and employment aggressively. We have to leave it there, thank you for joining me. Stephen jones of keynes capital. The french seismic oil, a natural gas field rejected an offer of eight euros point 8. 35 euros per share. Low.

What is your dividend policy going short forward. At said you are paying out. 1 111 euros per share, what is your policy going forward. That have not decided on one but we intend to pay a dividend because we want to give a strong signal to our shareholders that we care about them to receive money and that it showed our confidence that future earnings will calm. What we are focusing on right now is to further lift our profit levels and that was the reason why we have outlined the running Business Year that we will lift our profit to at least 1. 5 billion euros. Can you give us an idea about the longterm goal . You said youre hoping to reach at least 2 billion euros in the longer term, can you give us an idea of how long it will take . Know, we do not intend to finalize the precise year because the paces defined by the market environment and we have growing uncertainty and can not clearly commit to a date but it should demonstrate that we came 1. 3 this year and gave an outlook that we will surpass 1. 5 billion next year and we went to give a clear signal to our shareholders that we will not rest and we know very well that the level of 2 billion euros is what we need to be able on a solid basis to generate net income and Free Cash Flow and from that point onwards state a clear dividend policy.

One of the Key Countries to watch is saudi arabia and the one with the most fair capacity out of the producers, they cut prices which would suggest they would not support a cut that they have been very quiet and there has been a lot of shuttle diplomacy of other is a third diplomacy,an keep there is a third path, you can keep prices but there has been a lot of cheating.
