beginning of what we see as a big transformation. emily: what kind of margins do you think you can make? dan: i think it is too soon to tell but it can be a significantly more profitable business than we are in today. emily: would you plan to sell the taxis or operate a self driving taxi ride sharing business? lots of different alternatives and how we can go to market but we see ourselves operating the fleet. emily: we just mentioned the deutsche bank analyst who suggested you could spin off mobility business and that could be up -- worth up to $30 billion. what would be included? of the big advantages we have is everything is integrated under one roof. the vehicle engineering and fracturing, and to move as quickly as we are having all of that capability under one roof is giving us a speed advantage. spinning outu say

the mobility business is not an option? dan: we are focused on moving as fast as we can to get to come partial -- commercial deployment . we believe the best way to do that is having all the capability under one roof. emily: investors are starting to realize gm's ability to diversify, perhaps better than other automakers. these things are still fairly far out into the future. how do they come together for you, and when? dan: there is a lot of linkage. you think about autonomous, we believe autonomous vehicles will be electric vehicles so there is another intersection with electrification. in terms of having all the capability we have under one roof gives us an advantage in how fast we are moving and how quickly we can bring this technology to freshen, and get it deployed. emily: your of made a big strategic -- you have made a big

♪ live from bloomberg world headquarters in new york, i am vonnie quinn. mark: live from london, i am mark barton. we are nine minutes away from the end of the session, inflation climbing to a five-year high. mark carney says a rate hike may be appropriate in testimony earlier today. he indicated inflation may peak soon. >> it is more likely than not that i will be writing on behalf of the mpc a letter to the chancellor. we expect inflation will peak in around the october, november

figure. peeking potentially above the 3% level. mark: joining us, john roe, legal investment management, head of multi-asset funds. quick peek at this chart, sixthr milestone, the milestone in six months. the 1000 point climb from 22,000 took 76 days. there are some stats. where does it end and when? john: when is obviously the killer question. this year has been a supportive year. a good job.ne the u.s. is not the top-performing equity market. emerging markets probably 10% higher this year so even though you have had all those milestones it goes to show what can happen if nothing goes wrong with european politics.

inflation does not really pick up so there is no pressure on the fed to raise rates more quickly. mark: can we see a u.s. earnings recession without inflation spiking up first? john: that is a key question, because otherwise you can used -- use inflation to hedge yourself. we have been looking, it theened twice before, in 1980's and a couple of years ago with oil. and you get a margin squeeze that causes investment to backtrack without a broader kind of growth shock? it is possible. people talk about elevator margins in the u.s. if you take tech at of the s&p, margins are just above their 10 year average so they are not as elevated as people make out if you take out the big winners. as those get squeezed you can get a backtrack in investment 1986 kind of

situation or 2015, caused a sharp appreciation of the dollar and oil selloff. ,he dollar has been very kind but if they keep raising rates in the face of low inflation that could go in reverse. vonnie: we might be looking at a tighter monetary past in the u.s. if it is john taylor that comes in to the fed. the president did praise him. what would happen, what taylor become extraordinarily tight, if you like? his rule would suggest three and three quarters percent is the number he would like to be at now or might he be more pragmatic? john: we would expect him to be more pragmatic, especially considering who his interviewer is. be thetrump plans to best president ever, great for markets, and it is clear to him

what will happen if interest rates are raised to bring quickly. the interview of was stemmed around, the taylor rule, you will not be sticking to that if you get the job? focus ond not just inflation, you need to look at broader financial conditions. i think that letter was partially written to try to himself.e him to trump i would not expect a change in policy. vonnie: interesting. in termsyou banking on of tax reform or other fiscal changes in the u.s.? john: we are expecting a call to half a percent at a time the united states is not need it. we are getting very close to the magic 4% unemployment number, well below what people thought the narrow is. we think a quarter to way half percent at the wrong time in the cycle should stoke wage inflation. we saw a similar path in the

mid-1960's with the onset of the vietnam war. low unemployment and inflation and there was about a 1% stimulus of gdp as a result of the vietnam war, and a cpi.t -- rapid pickup in that might give an indication of the danger in stimulus when the economy does not need it. mark: john roe, stay with us. look at what is happening with european equities, we are four minutes away from the end of the tuesday session. i will leave you with the currency board as we approach the close. this is bloomberg ♪.

we are getting some iran headlines and that is helping the price in the last little 51.35. i want to point to the mexican peso as one of the two currencies that are top of mind with nafta fourth ground negotiation's -- fourth round negotiations. the ftse is still above the 19, weaker versus the u.s. dollar. mark: the global growth has broadened. investors may not see a big effect on equities. the central bank has moved toward shrinking its balance sheet. let's bring in john roe. i did ask you in the break, what would be your biggest worry? he said multi-asset funds accelerating inflation, a very simple chart showing you the imf world cpi, the blue line, the average is the yellow line, and

the surprise index showing on balanced inflation is missing forecast. what we see runaway inflation, and how are you protected? john: the reason it is such concern is because within multi-asset you own equities and bonds. you can see the bonds selloff and undermine the growth in your equity performance. that is why we worry about it. in terms of where we see it popping up, the u.s. has the strongest signs. still a few percent above precrisis unemployment levels whereas the u.s. is at 4.2. that is why we are focusing the protection, also because you can get in well below the fed target rates. they break even in the interest rates 40 to 50 basis points below their targets. in europe, similar discounts to their targets. a much tighter job market.

we have trump and his protectionism, the effort to bring jobs home. orthere is no one to do them if you expel immigrants and there is no one to replace them, you push down unemployment and push up wage inflation. that feels like the nexus where we should be focused. where we do not go is the u.k. mark: we have inflation and some would say we have it from a position of weakness and it will fall to the central banks to raise rates. how do you invest around that? john: we try to stick with the pound and the reason is the u.k. inflation market is dominated by u.k. pension schemes. if you want to buy those assets to match their long-term liabilities, they have been doing it for a decade. huge buyers. it is the only developed market where you pay a premium to hedge your inflation. you pay 60 basis points above the target to hedge medium and

long-term inflation, and that is where it stands out from the broader market. we are not matching liabilities, just focusing on client outcomes and we tend to stay away from it . if we take positions, it tends to be short. it might be too elevated relative to the global outlook. to the i want to point bloomberg chart library that illustrates what mark was talking about, the white line is u.k. cpi and the wage growth is the blue line. how far away are we from a very dangerous position where we are looking at stagflation or some kind of recession? john: it is a very difficult situation. this initial one, we will see inflation peak and it will fall back down and go back up in a few years. the u.k. has quite a slow pass-through for changes in the pound. dipped and go

back up again, so there is going to be this continued real income squeeze for the u.k. you have got to be conscious about the fact there is a decent amount of mortgages floating on interest and we are more impacted by interest rate hikes than the u.s. in the u.s. nearly all of it is based on 30 year interest rates which are much less susceptible to short and changes. at least all that purchases of housing over the last decade the change in interest rate deductibility and the increase if you buy and keep two homes, for all those reasons we see a 3% to 5% fall and we see the risk of a bigger fall. it is a delicate balance, which is why i think they will wait to see after this initial rate hike that may come in november, they will give it a decent period to see what else is happening on the economy before they commit to further hikes. vonnie: if you are staying out

of britain entirely and still looking at europe, what does the face of global trade look like? what is really positive is it has picked back up again. global trade has gone through this pause. it is not accelerating in the decade before the financial crisis but that was around china and the wto, but it is moving forward. risk is trump and similar tit-for-tat metrics in europe. we have seen these around islands and their treatment of taxation. the hope is that it will, that it is starting to pick up again. we may see one or two nations try to become isolationist, but actually the rest of the world tries to power on without them. you almost get people left out of globalization but without actually destroying it. mark: let's finish with japan,

as i did on my chart. this is the nikkei. we are at levels we have not seen since 1996. this goes all the way back to 1980 -- 1980. you like japan, you like equities. how long does it take to get back to 1989 levels? john: you would need a huge irrational exuberance scenario. what is helping japan is the yields on the 10 year has been successful. they have benefited from a generally weaker currency and are locked into the global manufacturing and trade cycle. it is those kind of reasons, coupled with the fact that we again,t abe and kuroda nice stability to continue their policies. they have achieved no change in inflation expectations and abenomics is back where it began. all they did was pump up prices

appeared overall in terms of economic policies he will maintain its stable. we could look at a few areas. , i think china will finish the year around 6.8% gdp growth and next year we believe it will be 6.5%. 6.5% already gives enough. the bottom line is actually 6.3%. they promised the people of china that the gdp will double from 2010 to 2020, and basically 6.3% will do the trick. number two, i think what they will do is after the party congress they will make it more flexible in terms of rmb foreign-exchange movement. in the past two months, we have seen to volatility in the rmb exchange rate. it does not create any market panic and that is why be believe after the party congress a will speed up the whole reform and it

will be even more volatility on both sides. number three, the key agenda or the china government right now theo encourage inflows in market and control the outflows. that is why in july this year they started upon program in hong kong. that is a very exciting program that has triggered a lot of private side investors to register. 184 foreign entities that have already registered under this program. we believe by the end of this year we will see about 400 and two into this market. -- entering into this market. mark: there is obviously a lot plate, amending the party constitution, outlining his long-term vision, there is a lot to discuss. financial the s so we and fiscal reforms could they are important. john: the reforms will mainly be

on consolidation, on mixed ownership, but privatization is not on their agenda. that will be the key direction on their front. the leveraging -- deleveraging will be another key topic. it started last year and will continue. the china government realizes that deficit in the economy is too much. overall, i think the biggest key scheme going forward in the next five years is still opening, china opening in terms of the capital market opening as far as to encourage some of the investment into the belt and road. vonnie: just to illustrate what you said about leverage in debt, we have a great chart and the bloomberg library which shows corporate debt is by far and away the most troublesome, followed by household debt, and bank debt.

these are a little fluid, i imagine. beijing?city outside john: this is a very major project for our presidency because as you know, we are talking about china during. that is all about rejuvenation of the nation. basically they set a target date of 2049. that is the 100th anniversary of the set up of the people's republic of china. by then, china wants to be a dominant global economic power and to do that they have to have interests around many countries. countries.oss 60 it is important to make sure china has enough inflows. vonnie: will we hear anything the 24th or 25th of october about foreign policy, where a alliance's are to be made, how china will deal with the united

states and changing trade relationships? john: i am not an expert so i cannot really comment. i think the economic policy will continue to be very stable. i believe that for the u.s. investors, we need to make sure it should not be a one-sided bet on the currency. there will be two-sided volatility. there is a very big market coming up. people in the u.s. could assess the chinese bond market. it is the third biggest bond where in the world but they will become the second, we are talking about 10 trillion u.s. dollars. we think within the next 12 months it will be included and one of the major bond indices in the world. if that happens, roughly about $220 billion to 240 billion dollars inflow into china will happen because of that. vonnie: john thain, please join us again.
