the main markets in europe definitely moving up. one factor worth bearing in mind is that we are seeing a pretty strong dollar this afternoon. the bloomberg dollar index up quite nicely. euro-dollar certainly taking a hit. where we are trading. light,y, volume pretty despite the number for payrolls. this is bloomberg. ♪ guy: 30 seconds to go until the end of trading in europe. a lot of green. a very positive session for european equity markets. the payrolls is the main driver. that has comeetus out of the united states, definitely not out of europe. the data out of europe ain't that clever right now. this is the stoxx 600, trading for 07. further away from the 400 mark. whichn see the point at it started to get more exciting. that is when the payroll number came out of the united states. we climbed off the back of that through the afternoon. a low bit of quieter on the volume front then we would have anticipated but definitely a story driven out of the united states. let's take a look at individual markets around europe. the ftse

so europe is becoming more and more aware what is in europe's interest, and it was sort of make these efforts under that heading, that europe may see certain things differently from its allies and partners. so, for example, in the south china sea sail throughs that are part of this tour, europe will not sale within 12 nautical miles of chinese occupied features, because in europe's view that is entering into a legal gray zone and europe doesn't wish to do that because they feel that that can make problems when arguing europe is for the rule of law and the rule of base order. that is different from u.s. policies but essentially europe also conducts the freedom of navigation operations that is supportive of the efforts of the u.s. and other countries so while there are differences, i would say they are minor compared to the similarities in terms of objectives of these efforts. so this kind of division of labor that allows europe to have a footprint in the indo-pacific, i think we'll see more and more of in areas where the institutions do not have much formal sovereignty. for example, th

we're wasting precious time actually to invest in a stronger europe a stronger europe that can defend itself also against an ever more aggressive china and we're investing we're failing to invest in our all in the strength of. our own industrial base germany had a fantastic economic development for the most part over the past 10 to 15 years we've had a good run but it's very unclear whether germany is well prepared for kind of ensuring prosperity of our economy in the future we should be investing and discussing this right now but rather we are in the kind of dealing with this kind of petty internal domestic political turmoil and germany is very much adrift it's still a default big country in europe it won't just to become politically irrelevant way too big for this but right now we're not assuming any sort of leadership role that we've kind of given that to french president calls now the more active figure on the european political scene. julian. this this petty domestic incident internal turmoil is as thorsten put it to what extent is that diminishing germany's reputation for politi

and that makes europe susceptible to economic blackmail europe depended on russia is not good for europe but it's not good for america i won't waste time and pointing out the irony and it's not even a cheeky one off blackmail kind of thing earlier this year u.s. ambassador to germany richard grinnell previously described by a german politician as acting like the high commissioner of an occupying power and persona non-grata also thought he'd flex his muscles we emphasize that companies involved in russian energy exports are taking part in something. it could prompt a significant risk of sanctions now does not being a fine of something and then there's going to these kinds of lengths and causing diplomatic disputes it's almost as if the us has something to lose from nordstrom to going ahead but it helps american jobs much better for european energy needs to be satisfied by american natural gas that creates jobs here in america rather than fueling military how much and that we have it americans who propounded the virtues of the free market and happy about some healthy competition especially

europe harder than the u.s.? guy: in terms of relative to the consensus expectations, -- nejra: you warm are positive on europe? guy: expectations are higher in the u.s.. our growth figures are lower in the u.s. than they are in europe. the disappointment level will be bigger in the u.s.. keep in mind that u.s. companies have been increasing leverage more than european companies. we get in a credit crop -- credit problem when we go into a low growth environment. when you are stuck in a low growth environment, you never push the boat out in terms of leveraging the balance sheet. that has been one of the saving graces for european credit. we have to be careful when we talk about european credit. what we typically think of as euro denominated credit, the size of u.s. companies in the euro dominated market has been growing and growing. u.s. companies are now the second-biggest part of the euro denominated market after french companies. it is not that the euro denominated indices are going to be immune to what's going

is europe going to have its own defence or not? these are questions that they have been grappling with for so long. the noises from president macron are as you describe, but from germany different. there's a sense from the ruling party is that they need to support nato rather than replace it in europe. the germans are very clear as well that nato must become more european, so the european pillar of nato is what is going to be the kind of direction of travel. and this is very clear. that was one of the main innovations when the former defence minister now of the commission, when she was at the ministry of defence, this was the clear message that came from germany. i remember i was filming in 2016 in warsaw for the nato summit, and there there was the first joint declaration of nato in the eu, 76 points, a number of points of cooperation in defence. my film dealt exactly with this. europe needs to start thinking about its defence on its own, because it cannot count any more on america, and europeans need to take responsibility. we wi

rejects all meddling european policy is decided in europe not in the u.s. we crucially reject external interference and sanctions with extra territorial effect . as a gas pipeline running from russia to europe through the baltic sea it covers more than a 1000 kilometers and means moscow doesn't have to transit gas to the e.u. through ukraine however washington is no fan claiming it leaves europe to energy dependent on russia economist i gave her believes the e.u. has to push back against america's attempts to dominate. the problem with the north korean to blame is that germany who is gas for europe could get to energy independence on blackmail from poland and the ukraine or other american puppets and i think this is the main problem and so for un security measures the e.u. test of pushback against sanctions and they have to make clear that companies in europe have a little bit of safety when they do projects which you are absolutely within within the law but the us is just declaring sanctions on your business so it would be far too i'm secure for europe to

americans have bases in europe but there are also 4 countries in europe that have host base arrangement as they call it call it a nuclear sharing arrangements germany the netherlands belgium italy and possibly turkey so those countries are the ones who sort of serve a soto nuclear strike role where their aircraft would be equipped and handed over nuclear weapons in times of war. until just a few years ago all political parties in the german one is talking head been calling for the nuclear weapons to be removed. these nato fighter jets are on patrol over the baltic states their mission is to intercept any russian military aircraft that approach a nato air space without warning. a number of participants of the annual munich security conference are concerned about growing tensions between east and west. the conference chairman is professor. in few yon's idea. since the ukraine crisis that is since 20146 where we've seen a massive increase in but say incidents. for and fortunately these of not lead to a real confrontation so far. for the foods which these incidents have taken place over the

europe on a valuation basis? what could tip the balance? sebastian: effectively, two things. have threes we powerful we acceleration's since the global financial crisis. if you get a similar magnitude of the upswing, then europe has got higher leverage meeting it always benefits disproportionately. that would be really helpful. the second factor could help if you got a lot of weakness not driven by economic weakness. so additional monetary easing. we have seen how europe is outperforming, but given the little firepower the ecb has left, that is not in the cards. if they have little firepower left, as is the fiscalus, then is it stimulus you begin to construct around? and if so, who has the biggest capacity to do so? sebastian: it is clear the germans have the biggest capacity. the world is holding its breath waiting for germany to spend but i frankly don't think it will happen. inhave seen a weakening choice momentum, but it's nowhere near the crisis territory where people change their hands on these convictions.

of europe. if the eu negotiators had not behaved in the way they do, it's very possible that we would be in a very different place. but the point is that everybody has to do business, and europe's rate of growth is below the uk, the uk has had better growth, even during this horrendous period of paralysis. germany's growth rate is 0.5% and ours is 1.5. in order to salvage the eurozone and the european economy, the europeans will have to meet our negotiations halfway. in order to for boris to make the most of his victory, the europeans play an important part and make it possible that, within a year, some semblance of a workable trading relation will emerge. do you think they are relieved in europe that there was a clear outcome? absolutely, so i don't share the depression here because, when you think of the horrendous stalemate we have suffered for three years, the emergence of a big government majority come it is not so much a feeling of democracy and democratic relations breaking down, it's a r
