david: you grew up in various places in europe, the united states. then you went to the college of smith. phebe: yeah. david: did you study aerospace defense? phebe: [laughs] no. david: what did you study? phebe: i was a government major and philosophy minor. i got a superb liberal arts background and education. so i learned to write and think in college, two critical values. david: most people that graduate from smith probably do not wind up in the cia, would be my guess. phebe: most yeah. david: when you were interviewing for jobs at the end of your college career, did you tell people, i want to be in the cia? how did you happen to get in the cia? phebe: i had a sense of service to my nation, and it seemed a good place for me. so much in life, as you and i have talked about before, is finding place. and the agency was opening its doors to women, so it was a good opportunity for me. and i really enjoyed the service i was able to provide. david: how long were you in the cia? phebe: about four or five years. david: were you a cia agent, a spy, underco

looks a much better place than europe does. europe is going to rely, it looks like come on vladimir putin. the u.s. doesn't have to make that decision. alix: no, but look what happened in texas in february with the deep freeze. we had natural gas, we had wind, and look at what happened? we are still feeling the repercussions are that. so we are not totally immune either. guy: texas feels like an idiosyncratic story. texas is a big place, but nevertheless, it is isolated. alix: but look at california. they have a lot of alternative energy, but i still have to import natural gas because of their environmental standards. yes, it is idiosyncratic, but it is going to be messy. the energy transition is going to be messy and expensive. we are definitely learning that. guy: absolutely. and if you are interested in a 40 foot container box coming out of shanghai to los angeles, $12,172 is the amount. alix: we are burgeoning like diane i didn't how are you look at these indicators before this all went down. coming up, dream big. that's th

in europe, they asked the coal plants to come online. in indonesia, the dirtiest coal price has now stored. matt: we make some of the dirtiest coal here in germany, or mine it. we have also just finished a huge pipeline, the nord stream 2 pipeline with russia. is this good for vladimir putin? is he able to take advantage of the situation and make more money from his gas? alix: he already is taking advantage of it. i think the real way that russia will win from this is -- europe was transitioning to more of a spot market so it would buy lng on the spot market versus long-term contracts which is typically 10-20 years. the reason why the suppliers like long-term contracts as they lock-in nice and juicy prices and use the money to build facilities and supply the gas. in the spot market, the suppliers do not get that easy money basically. so one take away from this is you have to lock in the longer term contract --s. maybe not 20 years -- longer-term contracts. maybe not 20 years. maybe five or 10. that is where a country like russia could re

putin talking about gas in europe. what is important to me is the asymmetry of the united states with jp morgan and what we are seeing in europe over any number of things, including energy. the distinctions to get to these banks between ecb and fed at the meetings here in washington has never been wider. jonathan: jp morgan and the premarket positive 0.6%, rallying into the numbers and doing ok coming out of them, up 0.6%. tom: i want to point out carmen reinhart, you just heard from, is a little bit front and center here in washington at these meetings. she has taken an elevated responsibility at the world bank because the two word phrase here is data integrity. the uproar at the world bank, they need data integrity, and the imf is trying to reaffirm data integrity. jonathan: those reports need some credibility. they've got to redo some of them. tom: they've got to rebuild it. there's no way better to do that. this time is different. you do it with carmen reinhart. for bank earnings, you bring in alison williams, bloo

sonali: i'm glad you brought up that point about europe paying more. where does that leave the u.s.? especially on something like gas, where you see there is more production. but perhaps less in terms of what people are willing to pay on the demand side. fiona: the u.s. is pumping out natural gas like it never has before. a lot of that additional gas is actually leaving the country as lng. and natural gas prices, the index up a bit over 100% year to date. that compares to prices here in the u.k. which are up 300%. it is still a big increase. but i expect as we come into the winter and the heating season, and with stockpiles where they are, we could see increased pressure on the u.s. natural gas pressure -- price. caroline: having to have the country send the army in to petrol stations, that was a logistical nightmare because there are not truck drivers -- not enough truck drivers. is that something unique to the u.k.? how are things delivered everywhere and how will we see the infrastructure being improved to support that? fiona: it has been a logistic

coming up with losses of europe and the u.k. alexandra: yeah, that's a good question when we think, getting the bananas to get going. how terrible inflation might be. in the u.s. we have c.p.i. of 4%. that's nearly well of the trend that we have in europe where we only, so i think it's a very different trend unfolding in these two cases and we do see inflation in europe here on the search of the energy prices and obviously what everybody, not right now, is the education that might have been presented. i'll see you with changes and we expect now, for instance, that the tech myope -- before the end of next year. dani: you don't see them increasing rates before the end of next year, do they start to change their messaging, their own as the market prices into rate hikes, we get this transitory drumbeat for toll. do they have to maintain what they do? >> the messaging and right bag in doing two to come. clearly now it was subtle for normalizization around the world. it is going to take i'm. we also need you to different chat between

can london beat the green finance capital of europe and the world? david: i think there is a real -- we heard clearly from the prime minister real sense of trying to spur on in this economy an opportunity to create less regulatory structure and more incentives to spur more of that investment. i am optimistic the u.k. will play a part, but when you think bradley about these issues, this is global. it is particularly so in the developing world. we are going to have to help get capital focused -- focused on the technologies that can move this transition. francine: china, exciting news from global -- goldman sachs. how committed are you to china? david: we take a long-term view. we take this view largely in the fact that we have many clients that have been doing business in china for a long time. they want our support. we are extremely pleased that after a long period of time we have ownership and control of our joint venture in china. we have a long-term plan to continue to grow in china. we have recently announced a joint venture. no question that the

europe is really interesting and we have been underweight europe for a very long time because what europe needs, it is a very high leverage country. it means global growth. it is one rare period where we are having a big economic upswing. we are still growing above trend. we are still having this positive momentum and this benefits european countries test companies. that is a good story for us. francine: we are not growing at the rate we should grow if we had not have the pandemic. >> yes. francine: when does that happen? is it a strange scenario that we are living through? >> yes, i expect you are right. europe is living on borrowed time in a sense. this recovery spurred, money pumped into the system, that is beneficial to european stocks. better earnings outlooks, that is great, so we can kind of benefit from it. tom: does the more hawkish stance of the bank of england, does that change your view on assets in the u.k.? >> u.k., we have been underweight quite a while. it is about sector composition. it has too many sectors we don't like. it is the most offensive market in the world. it s

europe less than one point in terms of the s&p 500. the nasdaq we are -- we talked a lot about this the last hour -- a 23% drop. how much of this is supply chain issues? we are all caught off. you mentioned inflation. maybe i will punt back to you on this -- our yields are coming down but we are still the highest since february of 2020. guy: it feels very similar here as well. the narrative in the u.s. and they u.k. feels very equal. energy is probably one of the main differences. inflation has risen to the highest level in 25 years. we had an interview in the financial times with the new chief economist over at the bank of england. he is talking about inflation. he is talking about november being a life meeting but he is not talking about a particularly aggressive rate. lizzie joins us now. the acceleration in this narrative has been dizzying. where do we go next? the new chief economist is talking about 5% inflation. the market is not even there yet but it is getting there pretty quickly. >> he warns that inflation could reach 5% thi

europe will be there in q1. energy is a factor, but hopefully it is part of the broader picture of how we green the economy at a cost we can afford and is fair, and where the cost is borne by everybody in a fair way. francine: what worries you about what we are living through economically? ana: first let me say the positive. we are in a better place than a year ago. 6% global growth this year, 4% next year. that is pretty good. governments especially in the developed world were in a timely way making sure businesses survived. those are very positive signals. the other is a huge amount of savings. in 2020, savings increased by $100 billion. on the risk side, what happened to the excess government debt? what happens when businesses and people are taking off life support? do they go back to being in the regular situation, able to cope? is inflation temporary? those are issues we need to tackle. francine: does that mean we could hear zombie companies question mark what should leaders be focused on? ana: one of the t

we heard about opec failing to meet targets and russia to offset sending more gas to europe. higher commodity prices really filtering in to the inflation debate. take a look at yields at the front end -- highest since the pandemic and we see the 10 year yield headed toward that 160 above level, the gap between a five and 30 year yield at the narrowest since april of 2020, potentially signaling and economic slowdown when you have these inflation concerns and perhaps a fed tightening that might come faster. at one point falling below that 84 basis point level. in february, at that 157 basis point level. if you step back and look at the spread between the two and 10 year, you will see yields remain at wider levels. when you look at the global picture, it's all about the surge in yields. we saw new zealand's inflation accelerating at the fastest pace in 10 years, leading to yields surging higher. u.k. yields also jumping because of that hawkish signal coming from the boe, so that broader surge in the belly really seen around the world. haidi: key to the global economic recovery i

as well, and you can do some trades in europe to add to the value tilt. overall, we don't think you should be tilted one way or the other in more of a barbell. everybody uses it, but the truth of the matter is this year, the market doesn't reward you for being overweight value or cyclicals. it really was a monthly or even quarterly story, and i think as we move into the second quarter of next year, those supply chain issues are going to lessen. commodity price spikes come down, and when that happens, you are going to see the flattening of the yield curve, and you are going to see increasing growth and a lowering of inflation. so you want to be prepared for that, but you have a short-term where inflation is moving higher as inflation expect haitians are moving higher. you have to get through it. we think by the second quarter, these supply issues will start to come down. again, commodity price spikes don't last. tom: if i wanted -- jonathan: if i wanted a call option on a better supply side story, what am i doing here? is it true industrials? where do i ge

., he believes that what we're seeing is europe and china switching from natural gas to oil. that crisis putting upward pressure on oil demand that wasn't even in the forecast a month ago. you're looking at brent crude which is now within striking distance of $85. and if we go to the year to date gains for oil and other energy futures, you see that the oil gains are dwarfed by the natural gas gains. and that's really the issue. you got european natural gas up almost 300% year to date. and jurgen says -- and he's a well-known oil historian -- that when you have natural gas and europe at the equivalent of $200 a gallon, even though it's difficult for generators to switch from burning natural gas to oil, it becomes a consideration further boosting demand. jurgen also believes that the u.s. is likely to ask opec to pump more to ease the crisis. any president he says knows that high gas prices not good for incumbents. lastly let's go back into the bloomberg. because coal prices continue to surge higher in china. china's largest coal producing region has now been hit by severe floo
