sources telling bloomberg that china and the united states moving closer to an initial trade deal despite recent harsh rhetoric. we don't know anything factual. we have certain date which are set, but tell us what we are actually hearing. ,> this is the tide moving in one day of progress and then another day a setback. we have the comments from donald trump saying before in a hurry to get this deal done. it could happen after next year's election, so that poured some cold water on the heat that was gaining towards the deal because we have a fast approaching stock deadline december 15 when the increased tariffs are due to prevent. the key sticking point is which of the existing tariffs will be rolled back and that is where

the sources are telling bloomberg are getting closer to identify those as part of this phase one deal. also, how to guarantee and verify china's purchases for agriculture products. that is where we stand right now. it is anyone's guess, but sources are saying it could likely happen by the soft deadline december 15. >> how much will the recent bipartisan u.s. bill supporting [indiscernible] of trade talks. >> also, the bill signed by trump supporting the hong kong protest movement. keep in mind, china wants this deal as well and they like to separate economic issues from political issues and what is happening in hong kong and also

perhaps they are separating those as well. china has threatened retaliation and they have taken unspecified action where they say they will human rights watch and others. they have also banned or suspended u.s. warship for visits to hong kong and there is speculation they could block u.s. senators or congressmen in general from going to china. .> thank you very much one-dayalf-full and glass have empty. something is going on.

tell us what the endgame is and are we in the endgame? there are many other in games i'm sure. >> you have to strike a balance between what you see and conditions, monetary easing and the trade tensions and who will win at the end. isbelieve the most impactful the policy easing we will have and an economy on the upside that could lead to know recession. of course, the trade recession provides volatility, but in the end, we believe it should extend the on 2020. >> we start off with this r.e.d.d. which is we have come up so fast so fast

this year, tell me more and go to the others. >> the first one, reflation is , although theee markets have been performing very well, the economic data we august,ing, but since september, we have seen it stabilizing and they are sticking up higher and we believe on the back of a lot of monetary easing being announced in japan and rumors that germany could also do more on the distal side, so you have policymakers with the economy down and that is with core inflation, so then thehave rates going up, dollar starting to turn since august and you have gold that is also turning up since august, so

we believe we are moving some changes in these markets. >> there's reason for caution? you take a look at china deleveraging all cost. >> you are right. that is why we are not getting ahead of ourselves in terms of predictions. we believe we are aborting a recession, but as you said, china and the u.s. with their fiscal stimulus will not be as big in this, so that is why the concern we see in trade and the election going into next year remain valued and they can create volatility. we still believe we will get lower inflation in the early part of 2020, but is it

sustainable is the question. thaten you look at process -- cross asset pricing, how much of the trade war has artie been priced in? >> everyday can change the direction. what we are looking on top of prices, we can look as though the companies linked to china listed in the u.s. and you can see they are also moving in the same way as the currency. what we are also looking at is the approval rating from president trump in today, it is about 43% and i'm thinking you would me -- would need a couple percentage points more to get reelected next year.

this is very highly correlated with asset prices and looking at the loopholes from president trump is also something to look at. [indiscernible] what is that telling us and looking ahead at the bond markets in 2020? >> for the bond markets, i think they are pretty rich. if you look at 1.7 or negative yield markets, if the store they just explained is going on, there is duration risk. duration, for that means is we are looking to reduce exposure moving on the credit curve and looking for at deal debt which

can provide a proxy, but not thatthe same [indiscernible] could deliver. >> what is a telling us? [indiscernible] growth is also quite modest, so we would agree with all of that, although we believe 1.76 is still on the low end. tight, we will have more in a moment. still ahead, bank of india set to cut rates for the sixth time this year. the factors that will influence the decision.

came from very low valuation, so it is difficult to expand. earnings are also something we are looking at. they are not too optimistic given that they have been a very weak global trade environment. there is definitely a potential for earnings to recover as well, so i would not say there is limited upside. it is like every market in the world. japan, more upside than other markets. >> fundamentally, the simas package is going to be part of reflation, another attempt to reflate the economy.

that is perhaps the basis of your thesis. >> it started with the help of central banks which were a weaker amount and that definitely triggered be reflation activity. what you need to maintain that .s the fiscal stimulus it is not yet a given, but we don't need fiscal to get the trade started, but we would need the fiscal to get it to last longer. >> very quickly, one asset class or even one specific assets that you think is going to be on the watch next year. >> in terms of positive return?
