investors asord to deutsche bank says the lender feels the need to reassure shareholders that it can cover them. will it be a seventh day of losses? they are showing signs of stabilizing after the selloff that sent it to the strongest level since 2013. regardless lose 70% of what happens. this is "bloomberg surveillance." i am francine lacqua in london
5:01 am
and tom keene. we are trying to understand the markets, especially the fears around the deutsche bank. tom: not only the fear and the crisis and the charts but exactly what is cocoa? think an explainer is in order. maybe by the end of morning we will be a little bit smarter s.th these odd derivative francine: crucial, we will find out more throughout show. let's get straight to the first word news with caroline hyde. the first votes have been cast for the first presidential primary in the united states. these old-fashioned paper bernie showed that sanders got all four democratic votes.
5:02 am
john kasich got three and donald trump got to. bernie sanders is beating hillary clinton by double digits in some polls. in the republicans, the polls show donald trump well out overhead. later today on bloomberg, a two-hour new hampshire special on with all due respect starting at 5:00 p.m. eastern time. in germany, to commuter trains collided. more than a hundred 50 were injured. the area is not easy to get to, making rescue efforts difficult. kong, the lunar new year celebration turned violence. police toldrns -- protesters. 90 police were injured. 54 people were arrested. more new report says that
5:03 am
than one million syrians are trapped in areas that are under siege. that is a challenge to the united nations. -- has been accused of downplaying the crisis in syria. global news 24 hours a day. i am caroline hyde. tom: thank you. we say good morning to all of you. let's go to the data check. there is a lack of a series now unlike 8:00 last night. the futures are much worse in the asian trades. the curve is flatter and the euro is not much. nymex crude had a 29 handle. showing the tensions of yesterday. had been trading last night, it would be a 29 or a 30.
5:04 am
is stunning. typically, a little bit of curve flattening. -0.52, at is a wow statistic. francine: it is a great statistic. we have trimmed off a lot of the selloff. tom: look at the 10 year. francine: yes, it is below zero. and i want to show you japanese yen. deutsche bank, i put it in nine, yesterday it fell .5%. and the stoxx 600 and they are showing little signs of stabilizing. it is a new world. let's go to the bloomberg and show you the polarity of the new world.
5:05 am
how about diamond? we have done this chart before. it is unfair to deutsche bank. deutscheorgan first is bank in dollars. up and up we go. fire are up since the beginning of the u.s. crisis about 12 or sent all in all. upwards, excuse me -- up 28%. with ae bank is down recent rollover. it shows the recent cap the america and what we see in europe. we need to begin a considered conversation on these events. let's do that. let's talk deutsche bank. it had to reassure employees and shareholders that it had enough money. let's bring in christopher wheeler and david stubbs is also here. let's go through what we learned
5:06 am
from them yesterday. he fears yesterday were triggered by credit sites that questioned deutsche bank's ability to pay off cocoa -- a goes badly,that is it is converted into shares. but there is nothing significantly difficult. -- significantly different. >> it is amusing in a way, because it was allowed to be converted into equity if it falls below 5%. so i think this was more about cash and the bank running into genuine financial difficulties. it was a matter of whether they had the cash flow. i was getting calls from people saying, are they going to waste more capital? tom: let's go to the article from michael moore in new york. the is the basic quote --
5:07 am
contingent convertible bonds, also known as cocos -- we call puffs -- have turned in a similar performance at the cost of protecting the company subordinated debt from default for five years using credit default swaps more than doubled since the end of 2015. this is a bloomberg article. let's go to the chargrt which shows a little bit more emotion. this is an extraordinary test -a similar performance at the cost of protecting the company subordinated debt from default for five years using credit default of the derivatives. what youly don't know to when you convert one of these puppies, do they? >> i think that is true. the fed will not allow these is capital. they put it into preferred stock because they feel it is more understandable.
5:08 am
this was something that came out of the crisis. and just like the total loss absorbing capacity at mr. kearney has come up with, we aren't sure how this works when we go into a bankruptcy. francine: what kind of world do we live in? triggers a cell up of 9% from the european bank? it is indicative of the fear that is driving the bank down at the moment. at the end of the day, it is a lot of unknowns. we have low loss to visions of corporate's and we have situations around interest rates. a whole bunch of things that haven't happened yet. why be in high-risk investments if you don't have to be? david: one other thing about the structure of cocos, if they
5:09 am
don't just convert at the threshold, you can extend payments. and the ability and decision is very complex and it is not determined by a central authority so it is a very concave decision of the yields of these things. but firstly, these instruments are allowed as capital here, they are not allowed in the united states. and there was a whole range of things such as goodwill that was classified as capital now that it is not allowed no. is there anything that ceos can do to calm investors? to they need to diebold what they have in their books? christopher: i think most of them have type of that. no bank sits there and talks about transitional ratios. i don't think there are any secrets there in terms of what
5:10 am
they look like a sans today's calculations. after the meeting yesterday, i thought the market would be spooked because it shows the bank has to come out and show this. it makes people think that we have a problem rather than, perhaps, we are fine. tom: i don't want to get you in trouble here, i don't want to get david stubbs in the timeout chair, but christopher wheeler -- how much cash on the going to have to come up with whatever the outcome? whether it is through a street equity offer -- there is a not that they will have to pay. is it as large as $15 billion? christopher: what a question. they have been through three ipital issues since 2010 so
5:11 am
don't think they want to come back to the trough if they can avoid it. it depends on how much more litigation they have to deal with and whether or not they can make core earnings in the investment bank. at the moment, the climate isn't so great for that. we have to go down this shocking route to come back again. this is a critical point in the extended conversation with michael moore last evening. this is what he said. the unknown is the litigation bill that deutsche bank has. is,cine: and the problem there are so many unknowns. we are still try to figure out china and the impact on commodities. so you have litigation and ceos going through a massive overhaul of security. this is what crushed credits we's last week. how much pain do we have to go through for the european banks
5:12 am
to feel better? that is an unknowable question. you could sound a little bit more positive about this but pointing to the growth in the eurozone that looks a little bit at her. look at the bank conditions survey which showed greater loan demands across a range of different categories. you like to think those banks could make more loans. we have already taken a lot of pain. christopher: jurrjens on 30% to book at the moment. that is the problem. david: yes, but there have to be some bargains. that is why we love to have christopher wheeler and david stubbs on. we will continue this conversation with these two experts and we welcome all of faces somesche bank
5:13 am
critical at delicate hours and days ahead. we will continue the discussion in our next hour. we are still to bring you charles peabody with his linkage of american banking to deutsche bank. stay with us in london and new york, "bloomberg surveillance." ♪
5:14 am
5:15 am
francine: welcome back, this is "bloomberg surveillance." still with us is christopher wheeler, a j.p. morgan asset management strategist -- david stubbs. chris, you were talking about deutsche bank. we have a charge made, looking at european banks. most of the lenders in europe trade for less than book value,
5:16 am
this indicates they don't believe their balance sheet. will it change? christopher: at the moment, they aren't turning a turn on equity that is close to the cost of equity. so if you have a cost of equity on 10% -- you should say it is book value. most of these banks come in with fives or sixes or negative values as they go through further restructuring losses because they are still going through this post crisis adapting to the . -- adapting to the new paradigm. francine: there are fears that we are looking at a 2008 kind of thing. david: i don't think that is accurate at all. i don't think you see the level and spread of security being deemed safe, which now have the security question in the way that 2008 was. when you had over leverage in the community sector.
5:17 am
and there are a lot of policies that are very loose so i don't think we are in that place but you can generally question the transition of major banks globally from the precrisis era to the post crisis era and it is not over. maybe another way to look at this is that this is a center that is under a lot of pressure and the winner is the client. and that helps service the real economy. we are parallel to oil here. oil was not competitive when it was rigged to opec. now we have brought the cost down and it is aiding the economy. so the two key parts of the economy, finance and -- it services it more. tom: the continued turbulence that we see, let's go to the
5:18 am
chart on turbulence. this is one measure that people like and some people don't. i keep going back to the lehman low, the red circle of effervescence. christopher wheeler, how does to the tensions we saw with lehman? christopher: given that i worked for both houses, that is an interesting question. francine: -- tom: that is the only reason you are on. [laughter] christopher: most of these banks had two or 3% before the crisis. in addition, the assets against which that is measured are high, particularly around trading books and derivatives. so massively stronger than that.
5:19 am
the important thing here is the u.s. stress test, it will reveal what is in the balance sheets. and i was following ubs they told me in the middle of i had no idea-- what they were talking about and i could look at wikipedia. betterwe have a much balance on the balance sheet. tom: i like the idea that we are perhaps a little bit smarter. the putting out on twitter must read this morning if you are engaged in global wall street. coming up in our next hour, we will link this in with charles peabody, and also joining us is jonathan golub. did you not there are other stories out there besides deutsche bank? stay with us. ♪

francine: welcome back. i am frenzy in tom keene. it is time for our morning must-read. -- giving lessons to deutsche bank's john cryan. number one, you get clean. make peace with the attorneys. lesson number five is keep morale and your head high.
5:24 am
no one wants to buy cars from a sad loser. let's bring in hans nichols. what we forget when we talk about this bank is that it is also full of german emotion. this was the crown of a german industry. christopher: and when you talk -- and when you talk about the german industry, this is a subtle difference about what's german industries want. we could have an argument on whether the german government would ever rescue deutsche bank if needed that there is a sense that they would have done that for the auto companies. lot ofo companies get a support from the german state. it is unsure if they could transfer an equal amount of support to the banks he way they did for the autos. tom: tell us the relationship of deutsche bank to the german
5:25 am
people. , they worktsche bank in germany, we know they have a qs platform. forget about that. what is the relationship to the people of the nation? probably not as strong and as closely connected as the other banks. a lot of the savings banks that people do at the post office. it is thought of as a global champion that can go out there and block and tackle and raise funds for german businesses. debt markets are much less developed. if a company wants to raise money, they have to go to a bank like deutsche bank. commerzbank may be a little bit a lot of thed and local savings banks may be more associated with the german mitchell sent then deutsche bank. nichols, thank you so
5:26 am
much for your perspective from berlin. gilbertext hour, martin -- look for that on bloomberg at 7:00. we are francine mccall and tom keene. the futures were worse earlier. we have a little curve flattening earlier in the united states but some stability all in all within the markets after again -- after the yen with a 1.14 handle yesterday evening. stay with us on "bloomberg surveillance." ♪

tom: "bloomberg surveillance." markets are stable. that is the message right now. night, the initial
5:30 am
print was a solid 1.1 -- solid 114. a little bit of curve steepening in the last 20 minutes and that is good for the markets. it is also good to have the first word news from london. caroline: voters in new hampshire have already started casting ballots in the first presidential primary. night, votersst participated in a tradition that goes back half a century. john kasich got three republican votes and donald trump got to. polls indicate that donald trump should easily win the republican race. bernie sanders is the democratic favorite to win. he beats hillary clinton by double digits. , aer today on a bloomberg two-hour new hampshire special on with all due respect starting at 5:00.
5:31 am
germany, two trains collided head-on. at least eight people were killed and another 150 people killed. authorities say the accident is makingmote and it rescue efforts difficult. three hours after the crash, there were still people tracked in the wreckage. canada will send more troops to fight the islamic state. but at the same time, he says he is withdrawing air force flights. the federal court has rejected the state of texas's request for a quarter order blocking the resettlement of syrian refugees. commity some might terrorist attacks but the judge says the decision is up to the federal government. global news, 24 hours a day. i am caroline hyde. thank you so much.
5:32 am
we talked about deutsche bank and some fears in the market. 'st's get back to our guests christopher wheeler and david stubbs. we talked about how this will be a hard walk for the banks. we also see nonperforming roles and again, they are at the forefront of investor banks. we going to see consolidation at all? there will be more consolidation but it won't be at the top end of the market. the big banks are comfortable with that. " soclue is in the "too big it is perfectly feasible but amongst the big banks, it is highly unlikely. christopher and david, let's bring up this chart, it is a long-term chart on deutsche
5:33 am
bank. forget about derivatives and cds. there is the stock. what does mr. cryan do? he has to cut costs but who is he going to sell parts of this bank to? christopher: he has already talked about that. postbank big the retail -- it will be sold off or spun off. he sold the chinese bank stake and the wealth management business in the united states, as you mentioned. and he is trimming the large network in germany. that is why we have such high restructuring costs. we spoke with -- yesterday and his expertise on italian politics. he had concern about italian banking. francine look walk has concerns about italian banking. christopher: the problem italy
5:34 am
has got is that it has all of the other uncertainties but in addition, it has been a growing field about the nonperforming lows of the italian banks and how the government deals with that. i don't think this has ever gone away as an issue. things have marginally improved around the markets since the crisis and people have focused on other issues that that is what is impacting the market. too don't know if i prefer tom keene is talking about banks or fashion. you were talking about banks and there is no correlation between what the economy is doing and he banks and how they are performing. and we have never seen such a difference. this is unprecedented. what does it mean for the future? is the economy going to get worse or the banks get better? david: absolutely.
5:35 am
if that source to feed into a reduction in the activity in the real economy or in the capital markets, absolutely -- it will have an effect on the real economy itself and that takes away one of the planks of optimism for people about the eurozone economy. that would be strange to me though because you have a rising credit demand. we have banks that have idiosyncratic issues but we do have rising demand in that part of the world. this is a situation that needs to be monitored very closely. this asused a look at libor. let's preview the single best chart this morning on the latest failure and policy down in flames. you will see this at 6:00, an important charge with charles peabody. ,hey want a weaker yen in japan they have gotten the absolute
5:36 am
opposite of that. ithas rolled over to 115, even through the blue line. what is the tension that the bank of japan has at this morning? said, they don't want to see this currency strengthen anymore. months, the last 6-9 they have been in a no man's land. politicians told constituents that they didn't want the economy to go lower because it is making thinks more expensive and is hurting the real income. they want to keep it where it is. this just shows where global risk is rather than what the bank is doing. the negatived with interest rate and it is going the other way. it was just that the bank of japan would be forced to do even more. -- ave heard a lot of it lot about how it allows them to go extremely negative. i see no reason why they won't do that. francine: what does that mean
5:37 am
for japanese financials? they fell more than 8% and if you look at the companies -- they are trading at less than half a book value. negative rates have unintended consequences. christopher: absolutely. the biggest debate we have had, it is what deuce -- what does negative rates mean? i don't think people have clarity of thought at the moment about how much further deposit rates can come down. personal anddo to corporate lending? i think personal lending is less but corporate's take advantage of what is going on. we are going into the unknown. tom: what will you look for this morning. when you go back and you tap into your three bloomberg terminals on your desk, what do you look for this morning. christopher: i thought it was
5:38 am
interesting that deutsche bank popped up 5% at the open and then came back. as i thought that announcement might not be taken well by the market, more of a concern about what could happen next. i'm hoping that the u.s. banks start to show some strength again because i keep coming back to the fact that jpmorgan -- i think he will make $24 billion this year. and i'm thinking, how much can we dent that? it could be hurt but will it be 10% or 20%? i doubt it. it doesn't seem quite right and i think it is the same for a lot of the big banks. christopher wheeler, thank you so much for joining us on short notice. tomorrow, we will probably not mention european ranking directly. we have testimony at 10:00 a.m. to a fractured house.

5:43 am
i'm afraid there is not much optimism here. francine: we are worried about greece, right? they took a beating yesterday. are we going to talk about the eurozone raking up? we see this in the portuguese budget. if that also happens in spain then we are in trouble once again. the talk will come back on the agenda. grexitse field is that is not going to be the immediate agenda as it was last year. it is clear that the conclusion of the first review will take longer than initially expected. there is already noise about the election. there are talks about when the migrant crisis. biting into support in greece. that is why the greek banks here have been off since the end of

the year. --: you have in your note 391 people are dead or missing already this year, attempting to cross a frigid mediterranean. angela merkel has to go to turkey, which i find remarkable. , howrkey went to germany would they be greeted? not very warmly, especially after the leak of the with the president of the european council. -- unleash the refugees by opening the border with greece. in theually, back migrants so clearly they are not playing in a comparative fashion. that they feeling have been abandoned because turkey has been clear that it has been dealing with more than
5:45 am
2 million refugees for quite some time now. and now they're asking everyone to curb the flow. but it is difficult, especially ,ecause the other way around they are doing everything possible to actually increase the refugees by striking against. novel,is sounds like a or the reality of henry kissinger's geopolitics. that is great but let me ask the direct question. who has angela's back in europe? wolfango: i don't think -- i this angela merkel at point, her popularity is at risk . simply because there is no alternative. germanyooking outside for european leaders. her popularity is declining.
5:46 am
she is facing significant challenges. regionalcing a election at the end of march, that is why she asked turkey to do more. because there is the pressure from the election. but she remains unchallenged in the german context. francine: ok, give us a little bit of a break from the doom and gloom. day, we aref the still consuming and the economy is not doing that badly despite the crisis. david: it is the other way around. you could point to, in this year so far, all of the gloom but positive things have come out of europe. market where the labor has gone, positive figures there. of course, it is a big beneficiary of the oil. you have very aggressive stimulants as well. so there are things to invest in
5:47 am
in europe but we know that the market is not the equity market. there is a bigger wage on emerging markets that people believe. plus, the systemic question is the question about the banks. francine: given the bank situation and the immigrant merkel isand angela not coming loose -- what does mario draghi look at? you are mario draghi, are you stuck? a lot of it is priced in and you can't be seen as doing too much. at this point, if you look at where inflation expectations have gone, i think they have to ring the deposit rate down even further. if that will be in response to the bank of japan as well. he has a job to do. and his key metrics are showing they're not doing enough that the moment. he is more fragile because of

the german influence on the ecb. i expect more action before the middle of the year. tom: david stubbs with us, thank you so much. wolfango piccoli with us as well. -- theup next, the port idea of oil. will get an update from citigroup. we have a fragile handle yesterday. stay with us on the "bloomberg surveillance." ♪

5:53 am
saying had this report that there will be a lot more oil than we thought. what is the level where it will have -- it will hurt demand by so much that we won't see it fall? david: the important thing that we saw is that demand will be softer as well. weak, for a number of reasons. the other things are because of the slowdown in emerging markets . that is why you are not getting the big ramp up in demand because of the price. but i think we must be closer to this fall in the beginning, just mathematically. the bottom ishere specially will be dealing with the shadow of this decline for quite some time. in terms of reduced dividend payout. it has been working on the economy for more than one year. francine: wire markets following that so closely? they get freaked out. david: i don't have a good

explanation for why. measureinflation expectations. supposedly, the gold standard of what inflation will be in the term but trading very close to the price of oil. and that goes to the? of the market's ability to predict what inflation will be five years ahead from now. what will oil be a couple of years from now. the market has proved that the it doesn't know where these things are going. tom: how do institutions in europe respond to these market shocks and these aggregate demand shocks? wolfango: in the past, they have been doing one simple thing. they let mario draghi deal with they are simply not in the position to deliver on this front. they don't have the mandate or the speed and the expertise at times to deal with this. reason, i think

5:56 am
of measures that have been in place in other central banks for years. and i think that is going to continue. elementse conservative , all they can do is slowdown the train but ultimately the ecb will be forced to do more. not just by the situation at home or the commodity market but also by these measures of other banks around in switzerland and in japan. so: gentlemen, thank you much. we will continue this conversation in the next hour when charles peabody joins us. and later today on bloomberg onio, mohamed el-erian european banking. stay with us. ♪

chart that you just showed, the market is saying u.s. banks face and ernie recession, but european banks face a balance sheet recession. there will be an impairment of their capital structure. tom: what is so hard for european banks to clear the markets? you were an expert five years ago of picking the winners and losers of how we cleared banks in america. why can we do the same thing? charles: they were much slower in rebuilding their capital structure, dealing with their bad loans. they still have a significant litigation risk. the combination of those variables and the tough earnings environment make it more difficult for the european banks to earn their way to improve their capital structure. the -- that was in the note from credit sites as well. francine: the concern surrounding deutsche bank came
6:07 am
from what you were mentioning. banks areuropean slower. we have a lot of problems that the u.s. has dealt with in the past. however, now there is also a china unknown and the exposure to commodities for a lot of these banks. that hits banks globally. charles: it does, but the u.s. banks, if you look at their commodity exposure, their energy exposure is maybe 2% to 5% of the balance sheet. thes not big numbers for u.s. banks. so we are really not fearful of a balance sheet impairment in the united states. francine: are we going to see more consolidation? this is one of the themes we tried to explore in the previous hour. if you do see consolidation, it is more likely u.s. banks buying part of european banks, or securities. charles: i think we have seen the u.s. banks take advantage of the european banks' weaknesses.
6:08 am
consolidation in the united states will be difficult to come by. tom: why is that? charles: you have a disconnect between the markets and prices. comerica, which trays around 32, book value around -- which trays around 32, book value around $40 -- which trades around 32, book value around $40. you cannot go to your board and say i think we should sell at book value. you 11.5 times look, which will -- you want 1.5 times book, which will -- there is a dissonance between markets -- tom: you cannot talk about financials in general. here is the deutsche bank bloodbath. short-term view of deutsche bank

6:11 am
at in terms of -- the valley that you are looking at in terms of the recession? is it a deep valley? tom: i want to come back with you. are you long on the market this morning? do you have an enthusiasm for equities? jon: i do. we just did a research report. if you buy stocks with the vix over 25, you get a better return. tom: we will do that with jon golub in a moment. i urge you to go to bloomberg news and read michael moore and necklace comfort's -- nicholas comfort's work on the complexity of the instruments of the european banks.

6:16 am
and whether it is deutsche bank or twitter, there are some challenges out there. why do i have enthusiasm? jon: for all the field and earnings are falling off a cliff, when you put aside the energy sector and related stocks that are doing quite poorly, earnings for the majority of the market are up in the 5% range, and companies are beating by 4.5%. if you look at how the market that's a responding, when you do have earnings, the market is responding in a healthy and normal fashion. second, all the economic indicators are a weak economy but no reception. the opportunities as you brilliantly say good copies trump that -- trump -- mpanies you are out in the bushes looking for good companies. where are the good companies? jon: if you look at, largely growth kind of sectors, but if you look at what i will call

secular growers, companies that do not need a good economy to deliver good earnings -- health new, new tech companies, discretionary sectors -- those are doing well. also stable growth companies, business services. tom: always there. jon: these are companies that do waste removal that are quite healthy. francine: a good economy is always helpful. you are making a difference between the companies that can survive, and then today you have a senior adviser to the ocd office saying central banks losing monetary policy is putting the economy at risk. have we factored in the unintended consequences of negative rates or ultra moves to monetary policy? jon: if you look at what has happened to the velocity of money as central banks are printing, it has collapsed. it is not having the kind of effect you would want it to have
6:18 am
on stabilizing inflation and promoting economic growth. yet it is creating volatility in currency markets, it is creating volatility in oil markets. i think you are absolutely right that central banks could very well be, in their effort to do good, maybe the cause of the volatility we are currently is notncing, or at least the primary cause, contributing to it. charles: i think corporate earnings can go down 30% between now and the middle of -- tom: why is that, because the revenue line is not there because of nominal gdp? charles: that is a factor. but a lot of the corporate earnings came through financial engineering, which was through the central banks' easy monetary policies. corporate margins dropped 30% in a recession, and i think there will be a recession by 2017. you will see double-digit real rates of interest where there is no inflation, so you have no

6:32 am
why will spreads not affect equity valuations? jon: you have a troubled trading environment. the volatility in the market is negatively impacting banking activity and lower interest rates are the problem. the question looking forward is, where does that go from here? if you think interest rates will 1.74, 1.75 back over 2%, then you get easing in the banking environment. if you get volatility to come down, investment banking activity comes back in, and the highering with slightly oil prices. yes, things are stressed. are we looking at something more constructive in two or three months? i think absolutely. tom: charles peabody, as you mentioned in your writing, it is the balance sheet adjustment as well. much do they have to adjust the balance sheet? how much do they need to write-size their good or bad
6:33 am
will? charles: you saw a number of banks in europe writing down bad will with regard to restructuring businesses. that has yet to happen in the united states, and when we looked at the u.s. banking system, bank of america had the most goodwill at about $70 billion, and it represented 70% of their equity. i think those write-downs are coming. tom: that is in the mix here with the collegial disagreement between mr. gall of an mr. -- mr. golub and mr. peabody. ofncine: that is on the back the credit note yesterday, the share price going down to 9.5%. we spoke to chris wheeler of atlantic equities, and he said there are fears on the market, but deutsche bank, he believes, is not running into genuine financial problems. chris: what we call a additional tier one capital, they convert to different equity.

great on this. the idea that the derivative strategy has two outcomes -- one that you have to do more equity and the other that you have to take a right-down, which is two bad outcomes. francine: you have the volga rule, an inch -- the volcker rule, and in europe we have other rules hampering efforts of deutsche bank and also credit suisse. are we getting regulation wrong in europe? regulation seems to be more on message. youles: i do not know that are getting regulation wrong, but the regulators do not care if the banks earned one dollar, two dollars, or five dollars. they care about the balance sheets, and that is what they are protecting the back -- protecting the investor from. lasti want to give you the word. formally state your equity market view right now. we have been over the talks -- within the talk and the collegial debate were having, word?s your last

6:44 am
look at the trade-weighted dollar, it looks as if this is a currency central-bank trade and not all about supply. how do you think about what is going on with central bankers, how they are affecting your market? the u.s. dollar move, and particularly the high correlation between oil and that and other asset costs certainly is indicating there is a lot of risk-on, risk-off moves driving oil as well. clearly lower oil prices on one hand are a boon to consumers, but the concern seems to be the hit to producers, which we are feeling today. i wanted to back it up a bit because you were talking about the fact that exogenous shocks come from lower investment or less investment in oil production. this can take 18 months, even two or three years. what is the likelihood of russia and saudi arabia sitting down,
6:45 am
cutting down production, and would that even have an impact on the price of oil? eric: i talked about the supply as an dodge in a shocks. as far as exogenous shocks, there has been some view about this. it is unlikely in our view that these producers get together and thisble to coordinate production cut, and secondly, even if they did, that it would have a long-lasting effect. francine: because there is just too much oil out there, or you would have the likes of venezuela and others coming into swing it back to too much production? eric: there are two problems. within opec or any producer group come you have iran and iraq still growing this year pretty much regardless, so within their own ranks they would have some problems. otherwise, the issues with u.s. shale. this goes back into your
