3:26 am
in the u.s.. -- four in the u.s. overould get iliad coming and splashing cash now but promising for just less than 50%. it would not hold. they would share some of the cost savings. how desperate is deutsche telekom to sell? are they willing to take the lower bid? how much will this speedups print? sprint is saying, it's going to take about a year to get through regulators. suddenly it's a bidding war. >> stocks are down 10%. >> i think people are worried they might start pumping out this cash. iliad is third of the size of t-mobile.

3:31 am
there are three companies which are not short-lived at the moment. having problems in terms of exposure to russia. byt stock has been knocked the analyst community this morning. you see jpmorgan downgrading the stock to neutral from overweight. deutsche bank goes to a cell versus a hold. eme, when it comes to industrial chemicals, this company saying they have to shift their guidance to the marketplace in terms of margin, in terms of sales and in terms of making an uplift of their earnings by 16%. it is going to be pushed out to 2016. and since i have been twice ties -- chastised on twitter, i thought we would have a little touch of russia. nk.is sberba
3:32 am
what you have got is a 12-week low for the ends -- for the russian institution. moved, unable to raise capital beyond 90 days here in europe. you are beginning to see some actual, physical three-month low on that bank. back to you, john. >> thank you very much. a 72 hour cease-fire is in effect between israel and palestinian militants in the gaza strip. left more thans 1400 palestinians and almost 60 israelis dead since it escalated in early july. organizationlth and several west african nations will pump $100 million into intensified efforts against the evil of virus outbreak. the virus has killed 700 people.
3:33 am
manufacturing expanded in july, the fastest pace in more than two years. pmi came in at 61.7. the reading may show that government stimulus policies including tax cuts and infrastructure spending are helping boost china's economy. for more perspective, let's bring in maranda car, the head of china research at nsbo. i look at the numbers, two-year high on chinese pmi. i was told last year we were going to get used to lower growth. what are people telling me? we are not seeing that in china right now. >> there are three main reasons for a big slowdown. thinking there was a massive slowdown and this was the beginning of the end. property, credit markets and the anticorruption campaign, all of those three, particularly
3:34 am
with the investigation on wednesday, particularly those three have been removed. we are getting back to more normalized growth rates. >> let's talk about the anticorruption campaign. one facet of that has been bending on luxury items like high-end drinks. you see some of the drink companies, sales across the board in china are terrible. how does this impact the wider economy? >> one is the luxury goods people not spending on enjoying themselves. in terms of the other impact, you have the political impact, which is changing guard at the top and removing some political opponents. that is about half the investigation. the other half is things like cleaning up some of the more corrupt sectors. things like railways or science and technology where some of the
3:35 am
research projects are being siphoned off. some about cleaning up sectors of the economy where you have had problems and trying to make a long-term difference. >> let's talk about the property sector. most people see the significant overcapacity in the sector. we were starting to see a correction and it seems to have come back. what is the view here? is this bubble so big that they can't allow it to deflate? >> the thing is, you can't let a property market crash. if you let the property market go, then you would be reforming in a crisis. you wouldn't be reforming in a stable economy. we wereapril, may, thinking they would have to stabilize. what they are doing is taking away the restrictions on people buying homes. there is still reasonable demand. where you see problems is things 4.e tier 3 and
3:36 am
related to the anticorruption campaign, the high-end luxury , basically officials aren't buying those anymore. the core demand is still there and that is what they are trying to pick up with more credit supply and stabilizing things. >> what is the take away? by property? keep dancing until the music stops? >> he said that earlier this month and it has now gone up 20%. is, you haveng one had a bit of a rally. that is what we were saying. the next interesting one is where the reform is happening. that is the energy sector. oil and gas, you have got the investigations. you have potentially quite widespread reform. settle forgoing to the distribution arm.
3:37 am
that is kind of where we are more reform rather than recovery. >> last year, all the noise about higher-quality growth. can we forget that? need toottom line, they maintain social stability? a low urban unemployment rate. >> they need 7.5%. have 7.5% ort around 7.5%. but if they are trying to rebalance, you need to maintain stability. while you shut down the steel mills and the coal mines -- >> one final question. in history, is there an example of an economy this large with massive overcapacity that has managed to restructure without a significant downturn? >> there is not. tend to get some
3:38 am
kind of correction at some point in order to achieve that rebalancing. if you look at the market, you have actually had a slowdown in markets. also a slowdown in credit growth. if you look at the past five years, china may have been achieving that by itself, without having reformed. >> we will leave it there. everyone is waiting for that. thank you very much, maranda, for joining us. moving on to the middle east, the fight in gaza has not put israeli technology companies out. they yesterday raised almost $1 billion, making it the biggest ever u.s. ipo of an israeli company. elliott gotkine has more. the share sale exceeding expectations right now. >> very much so. this was the beyond the range of
3:39 am
$25 a share. as you say, that all translates into the company raising just shy of $900 million giving a valuation of just over $7.5 billion. that makes it the biggest ever ipo of an israeli company in the u.s. not the biggest ever israel the ipo. oil refineries listed here. nevertheless, not too shabby that made a net profit of $20 million. >> not the only company raising equity capital in the states this year either. or rather this week. beyond this kind of point, but there is only a bit of a scramble given the bull market. mobileye is the biggest of the
3:40 am
israeli companies listing this week. in additionhis week to mobileye, most of them biotech companies. overare scrambling concerns that this window of opportunity is so bullish may soon close. or may have already closed. the fed chairman talking about the way that biotech valuations may be stretched already. that is why you have got all those companies scrambling to get their initial public offerings off the ground. mobileye the biggest and that will start trading on the new york stock exchange this afternoon. >> tank, elliott. we will catch up with you later. ceo meeting today to resolve a 115-year-old company. what does it mean for fiat?

3:45 am
point. on transatlantic, he says it is choosing the right routes. he wasn't being specific about the new places they were flying. he said austin has been very successful, san diego, l.a., the load factors on that have been 99%. if that is wonder possible but that is what he is saying. >> it has been a rough couple of months for the industry. a lot of people asking whether this translates as less people getting on planes. any comment on mh 17? >> he to some extent agrees with what tim clark is saying, that there should be more communication between airlines. he stressed that when it comes to the actual final decision-making, the airline should be making the choice. they are constantly talking to people. was a very tragic week last week and says that it was a hit for the entire industry.

3:50 am
$74 billion is what they need to enact marchionne's golden plan of making it a hugely profitable company. he wants to produce 7 million cars, an awful lot of cars. still 3 million short of the biggest guns out there like toyota. that is what everybody is talking about. not a done deal though. some of the advisors said, actually, all this does is give the family even more power because of an incentive scheme that they pushed through. for sticking around, there voting right increases. some people think that is not great but i think the majority think this is best for fiat. italy has been great. but they need to access that funding base in that new york city. juventus still in italy,
