you're welcome to "the pulse" live from london. european markets are trading higher this morning. the trading day. let's get straight to ryan chilcote. ryan: european equities on the rise after asian equities rose as well. why? you know. bad economic news is good for stocks. expectations for the fed rate hike getting pushed back. europeannestle so that equities -- the stoxx 600 -- despite we have some bad news with two of europe's biggest companies. hold the noodles. part of the reason is they voluntarily pulled their noodles in india.
4:02 am
that alone they said was responsible for 30 basis points of a loss in terms of sales growth. they are predicting a sales growth of 4.5% this year. they have previously been guiding the market towards 5%. one of the reasons why shares are down. and folks wake and suffering for a second straight day. yesterday, we had the news that they are going to engage in europe's biggest ever recall of 8.5 million cars. this morning, we learned from the european automobile manufacturers association that sales for volkswagen in the months of september trailed the overall car market. rising 8.3%. the overall market rising for the 25th consecutive months to the tune of 9.85%. vw's market share stands at 23.3%. that is the worst it has been since september. further weakness for volkswagen. manus: thanks for the wrap up. here's what else is on our radar
4:03 am
this friday. china expected to announce gdp on monday. expect growth to slip from 6.8% to a year earlier. they also expect china's official growth target to be 7% for the6.5% from next five years. auto sales grew for the 25th straight months, but vw lost market share. the german automaker failed to keep pace with the european competitors in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal. federal reserve bank of new york president william dudley has -- de-escalate his: raising interest rates. he says the central bank should make the move this year, as long as the company -- the economy stays on track. william dudley: i would say we are looking at this year. but it is a forecast. it is not a commitment. perspective,bit of
4:04 am
jonathan bell joins us now. great to have you with us. the story every day is the slow dissertation -- dissipation of what we expect the fed to do. sums it up.we have the probability of a rate hike in december is plunging. are lookingst, we at 70%. we are 50-50. in terms of march. this is what is driving markets? jonathan: it is, i agree. we are in the bizarre position that inflation in the u.s. is just under 2%. unemployment is low, growth is good. everything that should be -- allowing interest rates normalizing is where it should be. the only thing that is not -- you would not be raising rates
4:05 am
if you think we are going into a slowdown. that is the concern we have. are we going into an economic slowdown? whether it is trade data, pmi, surveys coming out shortly having a bit of a slowdown. you really want to be the person on the fomc that votes for the rate hike? lorettoudley and massar are the voices, are keen to get us off zero. but we have this deflationary threat around the world. your that -- how high on agenda is that? jonathan: the only place he do not have deflation is in the u.s. it's core inflation that is real. headline inflation is negative. so, it is a real issue for the rest of the world. and that is why the fed is stuck in this position, can it act if there is going to be a slowdown? if this is good news for the
4:06 am
markets, short-term it is good news. this is not great long term used to say that we are buying equities because we cannot see any growth, we cannot see any earnings growth. manus: take a look at the dollar. we are on the longest losing streak since may. some people say the dollar was so buoyed up, so ramped up for a hike. if the dollar is on the slip, is that not a good piece of news for the fed? they want to see the dollar unwind. i wonder where we are. the reason why the dollar slipping is because everyone was long the dollar. so it does not take much for people to say let's reduce it. you're right. it is one of the things about the strengthening currency is that does the job for you. that titans conditions. -- that tightens conditions. manus: the other thing that caught my eye this morning is
4:07 am
nexturo and ecb and the debate. we asked this question a lot. let's refine it. people are now suggesting you're going to see a rejection -- a re more negativees, interest rates, before you get another slap of q.e. what does that do for the european equity story tied to euro? jonathan: i think you will get an extension of q.e. first. that is an easy thing for him to say -- announce that he is going to extend q.e. that is an easy thing for him to do. going into taking rates into negative rates, that's a harder decision. i think is a decision we may up going down, but it is much harder. manus: we'll see what bang for the buck they get. the corporate very shortly. that is jonathan bell. thank you. now, european leaders have
4:08 am
concluded a summit in brussels where a deal with turkey to stem the flaw of migrants has been drawn up, but remains divided. hans nichols joins us from brussels. where are we? this is europe personified. 24 hours of discussion, no deal. well, now we have more recriminations. we just heard from president erdogan and he is saying that europe is not acting sincerely. he says the cost is eight and dollars. angela merkel it was 7 billion. erdogan says it is $8 billion. angela merkel says it is 7 billion euro. theyhallenge is said that need to convince eastern european countries to let the money get out so they can have an arrangement and start distributing the refugees
4:09 am
europe. listen to how she put it. chancellor merkel: in the sphere between -- the spirit of solidarity, it is only right for europe to think about how they can participate in this. read on what we just heard from the turkish president, they are driving a hard bargain. they want to have easier visa access, travel to europe without restrictions. a want to accelerate and restart their entry into the european union, and they want to have something concrete they could show their people. remember, there are 2 million syrian refugees. in turkey. the refugees that are coming 700,000 of them have left turkey. everyone is agreed that to address the problem you need to have turkey involved in the solution. they are not agreed on what they are prepared to pay for turkeys involving. turkey's involvement. manus: i am wondering where
4:10 am
david cameron -- this is his moment to reignite negotiations with e.u. is that getting lost, or is that taking place quietly on the side juncker? hans: it dominated the first part of discussions yesterday. forced.cameron -- was he said in a letter in november he will lay out their demands. here is what he said he would like to ask for. prime minister cameron: the bill has passed to the commons. it is now an house of lords. the pace will now quicken and i will be again setting out the four areas where we need change, laying down what those changes will be at the start of november. weekly can the pace and quicken those negotiations in the run-up -- to the december counsel.
4:11 am
i'm confident we can get a good deal. we can fix those things that need to be fixed. and i'm confident that this process is well underway. four vital areas from prime minister cameron. i did not hear any specifics. there will be specifics in this november letter. that is what the leaders are demanded. they have a big summit in december. they could has iht it out then. it may have to wait until march to figure out what to do and how to renegotiate the relationship with the u.k. within thae e.u. manus: thank you very much. the devil will be in the details. coming up next, emerging challenges. nestle, why the food giant cut its 2014 forecast and donald trump has been speaking to bloomberg. about everything from the refugee crisis to china. we will hear from him throughout the show. china has done
4:12 am
4:15 am
tablet and your phone. nestle, the stock now down 2%. a disappointing set of numbers. disappointing set of results for nestlé, the world's biggest food company. let me start with nine-month sales growth. that came in at a miss. it was 4.2% versus estimates of 4.7%, meaning that nestlé cut its four year forecast. means, this is important, that the company will fall short of its long-term growth target for a third consecutive year. now, what has happened is, we heard that performance was all strongn, europe improvement in north america but the problem has been weakness in china and india, where there was oodlesecall of magi n
4:16 am
which led to the first quarterly loss in that market for the first time in 15 years. so what we have seen in terms of the share price, shares down today, as much as 3%. you can see they are down 2% at the moment. you know what? compared to its peers, the challenge has been the stronger francs. unilever has been benefiting from a weaker euro. if you look at nestlé, it shares have an underperforming the stock 600 food and beverage index. you can see the index up about 12%. whereas, nestlé given today shares price is only up 1%. unilever, on the other hand, has been outperforming. manus: think you very much. now, later this morning, we will talk to the nestlé ceo about these results. . the challenges is facing stay with bloomberg for that. speaking of corporate's, big retail misses on the high and
4:17 am
the low end of the spectrum this week. burberry shares sank the most in three-years on demand from china. walmart's shares fell the most since 1988. this following the slump in sales in the u.s. stanhope capital chief investment officer jonathan bell is still with us. we just heard the nestlé story. give me your perspective. we know the idiosyncrasies. the indian effect. bulcke's always promises 5% organic growth. jonathan: this is still over 4% sales growth on an organic like to like basis. they have got growth. the problem is that they were targeting growth they could not achieve in this environment. asian sales were weak.
4:18 am
you mentioned burberry. in an environment where your are not quite get sales growth, if you're on a demanding p.e., then the shares have to be hit. manus: there is a function where you're able to look at near peers of nestlé in terms of dividend yields runs at 2.99%. the dividend yield is around 2.3$. where does that second? you say it's becoming expensive. jonathan: the high quality growth stocks have outperformed. nestlé has not outperformed. the high quality growth has outperform. the problem is you are in a lower dividend -- for the rest of the market. 2.3 would compare with the european average of 3.5%. 21 times four compares with 15 times the
4:19 am
market. forward. of 21 times once you start getting problems, whether it is magi noodles or slowdown in asian sales and abruptly, then that is a concern. manus: when you look of the spectrum of what is happening in retail, burberry -- their exposure to china. walmart down the most since 1988, saying our growth is on a falter. this doesn't paint a good picture for me at either end of the spectrum. but maybe that is telling something else. jonathan: walmart is -- retail sales in the u.s. are we. -- are weak. manus: that is why am word. jonathan: and you have wage stagnation. my concern for the u.s. is how you carry on growing profits when you have wage prices going through and no headline sales growth. the u.s. earnings growth just has disappeared. and in walmart's case coming
4:20 am
have this issue of wage increases beginning to squeeze margins. manus: janet yellen would be happy to say little bit of wage inflation. jonathan: that means you can start an interest rate rises, but as far as the u.s. market is concern that becomes a concern because the u.s. market is also on a high evaluation. manus: my stunning phrase for the entire six hours is bumper-to-bumper. 9.8%,an car sales rise 25th straight annual gain. we know the recovery is in play in the auto industry. vw slipping slightly. give me your perspective on the status. europe's actually a domestic play. jonathan: i think europe is beginning to pick up. but you're beginning to see it in gdp numbers, which were at t he early stages, on a plumbing is beginning to fall -- unemployment is beginning to fall.
4:21 am
lasts lost market share's months. it is going to lose a little bit more when you look at this months sales. manus: how do you look at europe? if the recovery is in place, a bit more q.e. rather than negative rates, so -- if the trade has been the autos to a certain extent, where else do you look at for strategic position in 2016? jonathan: domestic europe you can look at. you can look at the more cyclical sectors in europe. real estate in europe is interesting. so, there are quite a few different areas that you can benefit from. you have got low expectations and a pick up growth, that should be good for markets. manus: developers will be delighted to hear that,. jonathan, thank you so much.

4:25 am
chris, a very good day to you. what did the numbers say, and more important, what has become of vw? vw numbersink the say to me that volkswagen is not going to get away with this scandal without taking a hit in terms of its sales. they'd had a decent months, but they did not keep pace with the rest of the market. they lost market share. at the same time, there were some discount in from what we understand. it is early days. impact of the scandal will play out in the next, in the weeks and months to come.. manus: take me to the winners and losers. a great headline. 25 straight months. but the trend is in place. who's jockeying for the sales? what's driving them? the bigell, i mean, winner is volkswagen's counterparts -- this 80's and bmw did very well. -- mercedes and bmw did very
4:26 am
well. the mini is growing. so the german carmakers are still healthy. the other winner last months, at least, was fiat chrysler. they did very well, growth of 16%. they picked up market share. that was largely to do with the jeep brand which double sales thanks to the robust demand for the renegade made in italy. manus: thank you very much. giving us the latest on the auto sales of europe. coming up next on "the pulse," it is 5:00 somewhere. yes, it is. and we talk big business of booze. are you a remi person? do you fancy beer? drinks anding chic global business on "the pulse."
4:27 am
4:30 am
manus: welcome back to "the pulse" live from london. i manus cranny. me, that iscall what donald trump has said he'd let the fellow world leaders do if he was elected to the oval office. the controversial businessman is seeking the republican presidential nomination. has given his views on china and international diplomacy to bloomberg's stephanie ruhle. you are in the oval office, your first-day, first week. who are the first four global
4:31 am
leaders you are calling on the phone? anytrump: i may not call global leaders. stephanie: stop. diplomacy. mr. trump: i have great relationships. we are talking about china. china is ripping and yet, they don't even like us. business week magazine had an article where, i'm very critical of china, i have a lot of friends from china. by the way, they cannot believe that they get away with it. the 10 things that the chinese people most want. do you know what the 10 things? anything trump. they know my attitude. people in china, people in mexico, people from all over -- and they buy apartments for me. they pay me a fortune. i like china. i like mexico. but they cannot believe they get away with what -- and friends of mine that are very big people, they come over for dinner. and they say, we cannot believe
4:32 am
your government is so stupidly. i have toruhle: if say something i'm afraid of it is when i say who are the four four latest, i wait for them to call me. hold on. mr. trump: i may. it depends. it is a deep psychological thing. i have a great temperament for business and for making money. and i've got to make the nation rich again before it can be great again. our roads are crumbling. our airports are horrible. when you fly into laguardia, it is an embarrassing. so, we have got to do something. as to who i'm going to call, i will get along far better than this administration. yet we will do better than this administration does. manus: how many times can donald trump say china in one interview with stephanie ruhle? we will get more from donna from throughout the morning. let's look at the markets.
4:33 am
$4.5 trillion has been added to markets. the stoxx 600 rising for a second day. so, what you are seeing is europe managing to unwind the weekly decline. energy producer leading gains this morning. we have had a couple of reports, which have come this morning. we have seen carrefour -- healthy. the french market. let's have a look at other indices in terms of currencies. you have got cable. 1.54.g at almost flat at the moment. nymex is rising $47.00. in terms of the oil market, we're beginning to see a trading pattern. russia is ready to talk about opec. cuts. that's the interesting driving for the first time in five days in terms of that market. so, those are your market checks.
4:34 am
let's hear up to speed with her other main headline. nestlé says it will fall short of its long-term growth targets for a third year. the company says sales will anbably rise 4.5% on organic bases in 2015. that is less than the company's previous target of 5%. it was hurt by a recall of magi nododles in india. carrefour reported further gains in revenue during the third quarter amid growth in europe. boosted by a strong quarter in spain, italy and remain a. sales in china dropped 11%. beat estimates. it confirm 2015 targets. demand remained excellent while china continues to show signs of gradual improvement. the key word is gradual. let's take that statement from
4:35 am
remy and some of the other big booze stores and talk about this industry. ofare joined by the head global beverages, dave shackleton. thanks for joining me. what welly reaffirming are all worried about you put it beautifully. you have got foreign-exchange issues in the booze business and the macker issues. this fills -- and the macro issues. you are reducing your medium-term growth outlook. you arenot convinced that china is going to return to growth for the booze business at the moment. >> i think the message from remy than we more positive are fearing. it is different to what we heard overnight from companies like hugo boss where china has definitely reversed. things are plateauing off a bit in china. that is better than it was. the thought about a growing to
4:36 am
slow growth from cognac to scotheches is a reality now. manus: revisiting fx. everybodyt clear that has a certain amount of foreign exchange exposure, but some of these emerging markets have been dramatic. if we look at some of the moves on the real, the aussie dollar, my question is -- there has been some relief since the start of the fourth quarter. it's whether you think we are at the end of this emergency -- emerging market currency rout in terms of exposure for the booze business. mean, that is a very good question. we are following closely the ab and miller. miller is 75% of emerging markets. part of the reason for abi and b ev going after the company is
4:37 am
t.ey are in a weak spo we have reduced our numbers in the last months over 10%. there is more to go. we are not at the end of that downward spiral in emerging markets. manus: i was looking through the note that was written before the price to sell. 40 pounds was your initial take-up price. happy with that. my question to you is this -- the antitrust issues that are tsing to be reared, what asse do you think are going to be forcibly sold to get it to the chinese regulator and the united states? theseell, this is one of silent transactions was change the game for 20 companies affected by this. so, this is something to write about the next couple of years. you're right, there are two very major issues. one in the u.s., one in china, where there will be device meants -- divestments.
4:38 am
it is quite interesting. j.v.oth areas, sab is the with a local partner. it should be easy to find a buyer for those. other story we have written quite a bit about inbevmberg is when ab and got together in 2008, are intelligent team wrote, the cut the debt load to make the deal more palatable to the marketplace. people are speculating that abin bev, do you think that is under threat to make this big global beast of a deal palatable to big shareholders? ian: well, certainly the combined businesses going to be highlighted. -- high levered.
4:39 am
ways thatere's two can come down. to selling more assets, perhaps the business in africa, some of the businesses in europe. there are two ways of doing this. what we can be sure about given leverrack record, they de pretty fast. they tend to be the target or meet them. they mean business when they are doing these things. manus: we talked about some of the jb's, they may get away or reverse back into their joint ventures. we have got the option on the table about disposals and dividends. aineken, if heineken could be beneficiary from this in terms of africa, in terms of picking up africa and their exposure, is that your base for heineken? manus: i think there are two
4:40 am
arguments. one is positive. one is negative. the positive argument for heineken is to say there are opportunities to buy businesses here. you knowive is to say, what? heineken is only 1/5 the size. that is a big question of how can they compete? i know a lot of people will say beer is a local game. from our point of view, and abi- sab is going to be five times the size of heineken. manus: thank you very much for giving us your time this morning. nod of global beverages at mura. it is 5:00 somewhere in the world. you want to put the part -- pick up our bloomberg magazine. they have photos. cool shots. what is next on "the pulse" this friday. let's rap.

barbie, it's largest brand. never forget ken. ken, barbie. nobody ever talks about ken. right, it has been a downbeat almost unanimous bearish sentiment among those in the metal and mining industry. it is linked to the economic slowdown in china. and here is what people in the sector told bloomberg. >> they are a series of players on the marketplace which are using copper as a prophecy for the chinese economy and tkaing position.king some it can be a dangerous game in the medium and long-term. at some stage, we expect the market to move into a deficit. you do not want to have a short position when the market moves into this situation. >> if you do a very simple analysis of the price, it's obvious that copper prices but whole whole friday 00--
4:46 am
prices have become volatile. it is clear they have acquired a life of their own. >> today, if you were to look at -- there something that does not stack up. >> you look at the downside risk in copper and iron ore. see far more downside risk. >> long-term, china is still consuming huge quantities of most of the commodities the world produces. it is not the china stopped. it's growth has slowed. >> the fundamentals for demand for copper are there in the long-term. we believe that we will be in china for a long time. >> industries like copper and iron ore have always been good
4:47 am
businesses for mining to be in. there is usually cyclical industries. by and large, those equities tend to move on commodities. that is the choice of commodity and the choice of assets within the commodity class that really determines the ability of these copies to generate cash for their shareholders. manus: bloomberg's energy commodities editor will kennedy joins me now. i remember when the boys at glencore were happy to be seen dangerous commodity routs. >> they became miners. not as happy with the ups and downs. there is a lot of bearishness about the price of omst m -- of most metals. yeah, it is hard to make money in this business. manus: what are we setting up a 2016? is it m&a? they say they are taking more iron or out of the ground. will: it is the capacity question that is interesting. gelncore made a move in copper
