president trump: now many are actually getting paid when they pay off their loan. whoever heard of such a thing? give me some of that -- [laughter] president trump: gimme some of that money. our federal reserve does not let us do it. thank you, thank you. the smart people are clapping. guest is the next u.s. china trade -- let's bring usuallylobal economist based in boston, but joining us here in singapore. great to have you with us, james. heardhoughts on what we from president trump, in terms of a key resolution. at least in terms of trade. he did threaten to ratchet up -- ratchet up the tariffs. james: we are seeing this in real time. i think the president is nervous

that chinese policymakers saw a weakness of the push towards the phase one weakness, and is trying to slam the door closed. still inthe tariffs place to give him leverage to force an agreement, or to show he has not gone soft on china or has not given up too much to get the phase one agreement. isiette: this uncertainty weighing into equity markets and growth. you have downgraded your global growth forecast. james: we have. it has been very clear with the trade policies. having a clear affect on the global trade cycle. the worry is that this will persist. it does seem as if there is a potential for phase one. are high-stakes negotiations going on at the moment. but if we get a phase one agreement, there are still underlying concerns about the future of this supply chain -- these supply chains. the way these have been politicized and used as a political weapon.

i don't think a phase one gets -- and has an effect on business sentiment. rishaad: we come toward such a taking twoe are steps forward and one step back. most of the narrative surrounding this suggests that it will be the very low hanging fruit. that get a deal on that, should turn to phase two or maybe even three. exactly. i think phase one covers all the stuff. the u.s. wants china to import or agricultural products from their farmers. there are small concessions made by china on intellectual property protection market access. the really difficult and challenging thing is around broader industrial policy. that has been kicked into the long grass. it has been difficult for these

two parties to come together. onesense is, wildest phase my cause -- for a period of will our fear is that it move away from direct tariff action on to more tariffs action. having more impact on individual companies operating practices. more impact on regulation and fdi's.cal sdis -- rishaad: with the background of what has been going on with trade, that has been a big source of uncertainty. so many other things are produced a climate, weather confusion, or a lack of division of looking ahead. markets have done fantastically, why? james: markets are looking as some of the worst escalation not playing out. as this phase one deal

does not fall through, it could be a rude awakening. the next tariff escalation could be damaging. while trade policy has ratcheted up, we have seen monetary policy makers come in and provide a degree of support. i think that does provide a little bit of leeway for the cycle to continue. i guess that is what markets are pricing in. while this is disruptive, it's not enough to end the business cycle at this stage. juliette: that brings me to my chart. it's crucial for the fed market cutting at the effective climb. what do we see the fed do a midst the turmoil? signaledthink powell he wants to wait and see how the economy response to the recent stimulus, but also wait and see what happens around phase one. whether the agreement is made or not. or if the economy continues to slow, then i think you will see a fairly decent course. there are more rate cuts to be

put forward. juliette: what does that mean for the bond market? the mliv question of the day is how far it will rise. we have seen it climbed. has said heell wants to pause loosening policy, he pushed back aggressively on the prospects of interest rate hikes. i do think there is an asymmetry around whereupon yields can go from here. we probably will see a cap on where they can sell off do. in terms of where it falls, that depends on where the next steps are. we probably think there is room for another qatar next year. juliette: that's james, he will be sticking around. alibabathe chaos, reports that it has won approval for a $10 billion listing. week labore next

rishaad: the uncertainty the u.k.ng brexit left showing the economy lost jobs. they posted their largest annual decline since the financial crisis. they campaign for december's election intensifying. economists.lobal james, what are you making of what's going on in the u.k. at the moment? james: it is really interesting. the labor market have been part of the u.k. economy. it has been surprisingly strong through the brexit process. it is natural, given all the uncertainty. we may be starting to see some

crafts in that. it persists and persists. i think the bank of england has the labor market explaining the shift in the monetary policy committee with a dovish tilt on monetary policy. that was below expectations. when it comes to what more broadly we can see of europe, what steps does the ecb take in this particular direction? james: there is just so much uncertainty out there. central banks are similar to the fed. i think they are keen to trying to get a little bit more clarity and wait and see the data flow. i think the bank of england will want to see a happens with the election. what that means for brexit. and the ecb, after having unleashed the package. i think they want to wait and see as well.

patients at the moment is the way of the game. market my get frustrated and want to push that patience. you are aberdeen standard, but how does bruton figure intoitain investment landscape. what do you think happens next with sterling? and do you need more resolution before you become more forthright, have more confidence in the market there? james: i think everything really depends on brexit. the thing that we are finding encouraging is that some of around hard brexit, which we consider to be damaging for the u.k. economy had a clear implication for the valuations. i think the risk definitely has receded, particularly around the conservative plan for the agreement. if that proves to be right, and if there is no hard brexit, it really becomes a nuance.

especially the withdrawal agreement. following that, that is just the start. after you start to agree with the terms of the withdrawal, what you agree with over a eriod of time with the trading relationship. i think the uncertainty will persist. we do not need to be on the sidelines, but we do have to watch carefully and react nimbly as the direction for brexit changes. juliette: you are saying that you are looking at some alternative assets of investments. what do you like? james: we are looking at wider range of assets for our clients and solutions. seeing an increasing interest in markets. very depressed growth and bond yields than traditional assets. more and more investors are looking for a different mix of returns. a different mix of exposures in their portfolios. juliette: james, great to have you with us. senior global

the global economy. the latest trade tensions have actually taken a toll on the economies, both in the u.s. and china. onconduct a payment survey an annual basis, which shows the payment delays in china have actually increased by 30 days between 17 and 18. we continue to see the trends into this year and into the next year. would you becomes a bull in this environment adding to some of that debt space, particularly when we see the rally come through in chinese property? xavier: in our business we provide a trade credit interests. typically our clients spend the entire globe. what we have seen as a slowing economy, but china remains a growing economy. it's about 1% of global gdp. environment in which we are open for business and continue to drive our business forward.

i just want to get a sense of the duration risks that you had. is it taking longer for companies to have their invoices paid? are you seeing more of that taking place? which industry groups are you seeing most of it, if at all? xavier: globally, for the last couple of years, we had actually seen an increase in the frequency of insolvencies around the world. there are local variations. ,e have seen in the u.k. insolvency go up 10% last year and another 10% this year. the u.s. increasing by 3%. seeing, basically overall, when you go across the globe, a slow and steady increase in insolvencies and payment delays. clearly there is an impact here. rishaad: with those payment delays, you have to take on that risk. the thing is, what are you

doing? are the premiums going up? what is the deal? xavier: our business is having a good year. we are seeing growth in our premiums at 5% to 6%. our losses have been good. this is a year we see our combined ratio be below 77%. it's a great year for our business. we are in aning is, world where there is slower growth and more volatility. we see the rise of political risks. events are hard to predict. is, we do around the world we have people in 50 different countries that monitor 600, almost 560 billion euros of exposure on 3.5 million names. infrastructure, which is quite unique, allows us to monitor interests precisely. your very hard to peg

future in this world on when given scenario. the key word for me is agility. this is what we provide to companies all around the world. rishaad: i want to focus in on asia, look at asia on a wall -- look at asia as a whole. who seems to be weaker? i will try to narrow down the industry groups. typically, in china, the more difficult sectors have been construction or metals. have seen nowe with the increasing trade tensions between china and the u.s. is more difficulties in the manufacturing sector, and probably the automobile sector, for example, is an area. juliette: when you look at your country risk assessments, you have moved some of them down. you were talking about the rise of political risks. hong kong comes to mind. that has moved significantly lower from a reading of a

two-83. xavier: hong kong has been the place of trading between china and the rest of the world. it has been hit since the beginning of the year by the slowdown in global trade. in 2019, this is the first years of the global financial crisis since we have seen a drop in global trade. it is a drop of 0.8%. hong kong has been impacted by this. in addition you have some political risks materializing in hong kong. as we have seen in the third-quarter numbers, it is actually having an impact on the economy. i think the sector of tourism or retail is being hit. juliette: when you see growth for next year for the global economy continue, what countries could move to the upside that are being buffeted by what's happening with u.s./china, and not having their own domestic turmoil like hong kong? xavier: it's hard to predict events in today's world. i think that is why you need agility more than focusing on

just one scenario. globally, what we see for next year is a continuation of slowdown. we are not thinking of a collapse, but a continuation of slowdown and a pickup of 2021. we have to remain extremely vigilant on what happens, and in which country we have seen evidence -- events. we have seen things in chile, ecuador, so the key word is agility. that is what we do and what we offer our clients. that's why our business is doing very well. rishaad: when you look at your business, you have a business here, you have offices in singapore, but are you seeing a reason to downgrade your headquarters here in hong kong go elsewhere? are you seeing other people considering those options? xavier: for us, asia is a growth market. we were actually the first credit insurer to come to asia.

they have been really bolstered by their better-than-expected earnings by their ability to continue to outpace the growth of not only consumption in china, but also e-commerce growth in china. the picture for these two companies are very different. tencent faces more regulatory headwinds. as well as other lines of business. investors are certainly taking a more cautious approach when it comes to tencent. hear a lot ofo questions about how they are forecasting the future environments, and how the regulatory backdrops will impact their earnings. juliette: our china correspondent, selina wang. thank you for staying up-to-date. stay tuned for $.10 updates. if you are a bloomberg subscriber you can join. some analysis from our expert editors and reporters. rishaad: coming up on bloomberg, jerome powell is addressing members of the house and senate. joinse fed president bloomberg live. looking at what's going on, we
