7:02 am
i've been here, i'm getting a bit more control. where was the big story in the last 24 hours, the biggest producers failed to reach a deal over the weekend. saudi arabia refused to freeze out commitments from other producers, joining us now is libbyergs javier blas and joins us on the phone. the market has to work something out, the rally since mid february was about anticipating a deal. javier: there were several factors. production in the u.s. is coming down, demand is very good. particularly in the u.s. and india. that's a bit in china. certainly the talk about the freeze in mid february was key area.iving this market i think it's going to be beginning to take a step back because also, it opens the question of what saudi arabia is
7:03 am
what to do next. they didn't freeze so they could increase production. jonathan: we moved to the opec meeting, could we get a deal with the likes of russian out there? libby: the key of this meeting was that it was going to set a more constructive stage for the opec meeting. and the inability to freeze output when producers were really pretty close to output tells you these guys don't have a lot of relevance anymore, it's going to be very difficult for them to come to an agreement on anything. most important like, a cut in future. i think that's what the oil market is telling you this morning, that there's no possibility for these guys to get together and have some kind of consensus. jonathan: opec has died about 15 ?imes, is opec really dead/
7:04 am
javier: i would not say so. we sought happening in the 80's and the late 90's. but certainly i would agree that opec -- if it's not dying, it's absolutely in intensive care. other countries with russia cannot agree on freezing -- this is almost a record level. it's a difficult discussion, it's not going to happen. i don't see that happening. the future of opec is in question. david: the saudi arabia really want to deal at all? it seems to me for some time they've been playing a of keeping oil prices down to drive a higher cost producers. the get to blame iran right now, but if iran were there, do they really want an agreement that will raise oil prices? libby: anything have to. you saw with the downgrade of their debt, they are trying to raise the money. socially, to break even for these countries -- for their
7:05 am
social and economic budgets to work, it is significantly higher than what it costs for them to pull oil out of the ground. it's becoming a problem. i do think they want to get some kind of consensus. i think what's going to happen is the physical oil markets, which are already in the balancing process, are going to bail them out on the back half of 2016. i have a chart on the bloomberg showing production. iran in blue, the saudi's are here in yellow. if you want to check it out in your bloomberg. it shows the iranians have incredible momentum. for a long time, correct me if i'm wrong, there's a thought in the market that may be couldn't boost production to 4 million barrels per day by 2017, as its goal. they already boosted output in march. the first two weeks of this month, iran and iraq have
7:06 am
boosted output by one million barrels. there are spots where production is just jumping. javier: you are right. production, particularly from iran, is increasing quickly. it's going in the trajectory that to ron told the market they were going to go. irantraders doubted that would be able to produce production so fast. his first 15 days of april, the production of iran of crude oil and condensate is coming very quickly. in the saudi production, momentum is coming down. that doesn't mean they can't decide to increase production. i think the tea -- the key to me is how saudi arabia elapse -- reacts today. and whether they decide to go face-to-face, head-to-head in a war against iran. jonathan: libby, bill of what hobby or -- javier just said.
7:07 am
of noise, headline after headline for various countries. what are you looking at? libby: we have to look at -- to make sure we continue to see the supply growth in the u.s. continue to roll over, we need to make sure our demand and numbers, which we have seen -- arey are seemly extremely strong. we've seen numbers that of china that are strong. those are going to be a weekly thing. finally we need to see the u.s. inventory continue to be drawn down. the markets are going to be volatile the next couple of months until it's kind of a show me thing and people see supply has come down and we are about to be in balance. lose -- libbyy to toudouze and javier blas, thank you. contrast, is morgan stanley has gone up in the free market, low market trading reporting first-quarter earnings
7:08 am
fell 53%. us tocampbell is with break down the numbers. i do want to turn to you first, a big beat on the bottom line and a small beat on the top line when it comes revenue. we did see compensation expense coming way down. there's been some more negatives. dakin: this is a story much like the banks of last week. in a tough revenue environment, morgan stanley cut costs. they did bring compensation down. it's easier to do when you have market's and investment banking revenue down. you pay those people less money. we did expect to see comment down. mp down. they cut expenses to fix dent where people would get excited about this. the revenue picture is not very
7:09 am
bullish. revenue is down quarter over quarter and year-over-year. that's what people are really betting on for morgan stanley. that they're going to generate more money from that business. compensation expenses up $3.7 billion, you can imagine how they got to $.55 a share. i also want to mention the trading revenue. we did see equity trading revenues they didn't beat that. beat, i think equity did both are down year-over-year. up $200 million plus over the estimates we had. the beste of franchises, if not the best franchise on the street. that's good for them. they have sold their physical commodities is this, they fired -- business, they fired 25% of
7:10 am
their people. morgan stanley is shifting their mix to stock trading. david: there's a larger picture that the emerging from the banks. they are all down on trading and more speculative ventures. what makes up for that? when you have retail banking that can compensate, when you come to morgan stanley, how they make it up. ? growth areurces of not obvious. they are less levered. they can lever up their gains. it's probably difficult to make it up, and we are in a world of less profitability of the big financials. david: you end up with cost cuts. investors arenk getting used to the fact that the banking of 2016 doesn't look like the banking of 2006. vonnie: do we need the big banks to support the economy? richard: the big banks are in
7:11 am
good shape. in terms of lending, there are additional cost the banking that we didn't have before. banks are safer, but lending is trickier because of the need for liquidity covering ratios. we are in a different world, we have to get used to it. jonathan: this is just a brilliant example of an ugly quarter and many ceos that took control of the situation with expectations management. that's the reason you have a pop free market. bottom line, half its filing and everything will bank this reporting earnings so far this season. how does this play out for the rest of the year? dakin: it's not a pretty picture. if you talk to bankers, they will tell you some of the activity they thought was going to show up in the first quarter may get pushed to the second quarter. first quarter is typically the busiest, when people shift iftfolios or get deals done,
7:12 am
they are bringing one or two deals to market the year. that instill hope april, may, june, we will see some of that activity come through here. if it doesn't, you might start seeing people talk about a revenuesar or very low in some of these businesses throughout the year. we continued talking about this at all of the day's stories. thank you to dakin campbell for breaking down is morgan stanley clarida withichard us. brazil's president on the verge of losing her office, congress voted in favor of impeaching her and ending 13 years of leftist rule. now it's up to the senate. analysts say will be difficult for her to stay in power. she's accused of hiding budget deficit with illegal loans from state banks. we will be live in brazil. the death toll is rising from the earthquake in ecuador.

on by a thread is the lower house voted in favor of impeachment yesterday, setting the road to the present -- to the senate. they are hoping the vice president can help whole brazil's economy out of the downturn if he steps in. for more, we have richard clarida with us. richard: the outperformance has been really incredible. this is the benchmark equity index, up 23% year to date. if your dollar investor, it's a better proposition. up 32% year to date. the realities the strongest of the currencies against the dollar this year. this shows you a whole bunch of things, you can see the rialto is up almost 13% against the u.s. dollar. take a look at this. it's a spread, and what we have here in white is the actual

performance of the iva vespa compared to the targets. , but it hasrformed already met analyst targets. need toer analysts raise target prices, will be left in the dust. or maybe we reached a point where it's fairly valued. david: to get what happened yesterday in brazil, we are by anna edgerton from brazil. there was a vote, two thirds of the lower house voting to impeach the president. what comes next? we will come back to and anderson. -- two anna edgerton. the markets think she is gone. but there are some steps between here and there. do you think the markets are jumping quickly? by the: this may be rumors instead of the fact. my think the impeachment was widely expected.
7:20 am
there are some next steps, there are some small chances we have an election. the best case for the markets is a transition to the vice president, and may be breaking the stalemate and logjam in brazil, which investors will be supporting. vonnie: we will try and go back to anna in brasilia. if you can hear us, how is the reaction? our people expecting this is the final straw for the president? last night was definitely the climax of this whole impeachment process. it's not the end of the road, she still less to go to the senate and fight this process there. the general understanding is whatever the lower house decided, which last i was in favor of impeachment, the senate will follow suit. david: is there any reason to expect that she might resign before seeing this out? this could last as long as six month. anna: that's not really her
7:21 am
profile, and her attorney general spoke with reporters last night, he said is not being considered, she's not going to resign. she will fight this to very end. vonnie: is there a number two popular choice for a replacement , in terms of market for distance? -- participants? anna: is a very good politician, with a bridge to the future program that's been well received by the markets, but he is not a popular politician in terms of being popular with the people. he inherits a country that is very deeply divided. he is going to have a tough road ahead if he does take over as president. david: tell us about the bridge to the future. what sort of sense to we have about what economic programs he would put into place if he becomes president? there is no sweeping reforms that's going to revolutionize brazilian economy.
7:22 am
that sovereign premium is going to be in excess of treasures. it has been coming down compared to the elevated levels we saw previously. do you see continued difficulties for the currency? richard: last year was a disaster with that massive depreciation. political uncertainty and challenges in the country with very high just raising capital outflows is going to be a volatile trade for whatever is going to get into it. they're going to need some

7:35 am
what we have is low nominal gdp, lethargic companies and they consolidate. they do transactions to come in. do you have this being somewhat like the late in 1930's? : it highlights the low gdp world we live in. there is lots of spare capacity. the use of capital is better served by acquiring competitors or branching out into other regions without actually having to build out but lying the companies in those sectors rather than simply embarking on aggressive capital outlay plans. in a slow-growing economy and a

which countries will suffer greatly from this? venezuela, bulge area? country under pressure is nigeria and russia maybe less so. when you look at these numbers, it was the revenue imperative you are talking about the drove people to doha. 2014 revenues of $1 trillion in opec area 2014, half of that. revenues are probably down another 20% this year and this puts pressures on countries. look at kuwait that it was starting to have cutbacks and its social spending. it is the only country with unionized oil workers in the middle east and the workers are on strike. that is something that will counterbalance some of what has happened as the outcome of doha. is only 3 million barrels of spare capacity and that could bring in a risk premium.
8:06 am
does that matter for the markets anymore? >> not right now. you have huge inventories but as the market gets back into balance later in 2016 and into next year and you start to see a more balanced market, you start to see kind of a tighter balance. the market looks quite different than it did two years ago. of pricesless forces what's moving to rebalance the market. you've got markets and investors and traders trying to work out what was about improving fundamentals around the potential for a doha deal and we did not get one in the market is trying to figure it out. if it's improving fundamentals, maybe we have found the bottom. if it was just sentiment, can we go much lowered from here? a lot of it was
8:07 am
sentiment and buying time for the fundamentals are changing. we're seeing u.s. production going down. by the summer, u.s. production will be down about 1.3 million barrels per day like april of last year. we noticed that it's not just the u.s. where productions going down. people around the world of have the money to put into the fields to keep them going. we see production easing elsewhere. that's what will work out. i think the expectation is it's only in the third quarter that you start to see the fundamentals different and the market was kind of running ahead of its self on the basis of this very loose thing called a freeze. it's springtime and the freeze melted. vonnie: what happens now? two members have to be careful ohaut the post-df rhetoric? >> they will continue to pay
8:08 am
attention and what you notice in earlier times a price crisis, it takes months to get something together. back in february, the saudi oil minister said. this will be a process part of it was waiting to see where iran comes out and how high can it get its production? once that's clear, it becomes easier to do things. what this has done is handed back to management of the market to the market. : thank you for joining us. shares of morgan stanley are moving higher in the premarket after reporting first-quarter earnings that beat estimates on the top and bottom line. profit fell 53% but that was less than analysts expected.
8:09 am
what stands out in the report? this is an expense story. i looked at the numbers and they took their non-comp expenses down quite a bit. what makes it tricky is they have't other line -- they an other line item. we don't know what that is. vonnie: that will be the first question on the conference call. >> regardless, they brought expenses down. investors are seeing that and they like that. david: how much debate bring expensive down -- expenses down? early to seetle the effect of this. they announced the project earlier this year and we will see more of that play out the rest of this year. were $6.1nses
8:10 am
billion. expectations were around $6.4 billion. they beat estimates by coming in by $300 million. what is the larger story we are learning about the major banks? >> the big picture is that expectations came down to low. they had done a good job of talking down expectations in february so the weakness we expected to see in investment banking and trading has been partially offset by the nice lift in net interest income. expectations get to low and companies can chin a very low bar. david: let's judge this next awesome chart. can see analyst earnings as they change over
8:11 am
time. just six months ago, analyst expected one dollar for morgan stanley and a brother expectations down 52%. tomorrowachs is out and less than three months ago, we were looking for five dollars and now it's less than $2.50. in less than three months, analyst that cut their expectations and have. each of the ceos said it has been terrible and they will be down 20% and then they didn't. >> to some extent that is how it has played. companies want to lower expectations and i want to give themselves a chance to meet or beat estimates. it's not new this quarter. what is new is how bad the first quarter looked to people coming into the end of it and coming into earnings season and it looked really bad. the most important
8:12 am
position in these banks, could it be investor relations? >> that's always an important position to manage expectations. there is a challenge out there. conditions remain challenging. you mentioned expense reduction and that's part of the goldman sachs strategy and that will be critically important and getting the returns on capital up at these banks. investor relations are important but the fundamentals have to show up. is 6.2%return in equity but that does not sound great to me. >> morgan stanley had rebuffed calls to put an roe target out there. they finally put a target out and they will arrange between 9% and 11% by next year so they have a ways to go. that.nalysts make note of 6.2%, nobody is getting excited about that.
8:13 am
it will take a much better revenue environment for them to make those numbers. n: we are spending a lot of time comparing the numbers to the estimates but let's compare the banks to each other. generates 64% than a year earlier. how does this compare to the other players? which bank has weathered the storm best so far? it's worth remembering with morgan stanley's numbers that last year included their physical commodities operation which they have since sold and gotten out of. in december, they also cut 25% of their fixed income staff. morgan stanley has been the most aggressive of the u.s. banks in getting out of trading or
8:14 am
shrinking their fixed income trading operation. the folks like jpmorgan and citigroup really look best so far in the first quarter as big commercial banks. they benefit from having a lot of flow and interest rates and currency products because of their corporate relationships. those markets did well in the first quarter. 5%igroup said they were up on rates and currencies. a fixed income business that's up, you did not know those things existed. thatig commercial banks are big in macro products. vonnie: thank you so much. there are massive celebrations in brazil as dylan the rousseff -- as dilma rousseff moves closer to impeachment. 1.5%razilian real climbed

but gains may be short-lived as the nation grapples with a struggling economy. ray from saow is paulo. been aou said, it has tumultuous couple of weeks that came to a head last night. there were tens of thousands of people behind me here in downtown brasilia. you can see the barricades separating those that were in favor of president rousseff and those against her and they marched toward congress into late in the night. voting continued and she lost by a large margin. a lot of people were cheering but on the other side, people are frustrated saying this is a coup and there's no real evidence she committed any wrongdoing. david: when do we hear from dilma rousseff? now is thepens
8:16 am
process moves to the senate. the lower house simply said there are not grounds for her to stand trial in the senate. that will happen in the next couple of days. a leading legislator said she could be removed from office within 15 days. they need only a simple majority for her to temporarily step down. that may be an optimistic timeline. all eyes are on the head of the senate. we will see whether he plays along with the opposition timeline or not. vonnie: katie nixon has a problem for you. once we get the on the short-term volatility, what will the transition look like? what's the intermediate term picture? frankly is not too bright. but come -- the country is in

its deepest recession than 100 years and inflation is above target and the nation is deeply divided. with standarddent takeover his party and he is being accused of wrongdoing. yesterday, 150 legislators are being investigated before the supreme court. this corruption scandal may well continue. to be seen is whether investors continue to see more upside from the business friendly platform that the vice president has put forward are whether these other factors are and heo weigh heavier will end up being engulfed by the same kind of crisis that may push out president rousseff. david: thanks very much for joining us. vonnie: i know you think brazil is a good at the moment but it seems to matter what happens, there will be so much uncertainty for some time. >> there will be a lot of uncertainty for the next -- the

8:31 am
is the big deal? shares for the online event management company are soaring. this after the announcement that the company would be bought by vista equity partners for $1.6 billion. ofning us now to discuss all this is alex sherman. alex, you have been watching this deal for a while? alex: yes. the ups and downs for the reporter is that you are close to breaking a story and you can't get it over the hurdle. we had heard a lot of rumors that they had been shopping themselves. more recently to this equity, a large private firm that specializes in tech software. back andally, they do software for big event corporations put on. so they help with registration and payments for these events and it would be a company that
8:32 am
buys the software. andthis the bowls this -- this stuff does this company already and the idea is that they will marry these two companies. vonnie: software is becoming a place where people are getting competitive because salesforce has been building up the market. what do these folks have that they could give this to equity? of it is thatart there are a lot of synergies. even among stats, which gets higher premium, the premium is 69% over the closing price but if you back out a soft chart and look at the one year chart, you will see that they were hovering around $36 a share so if you back up, the premium doesn't seem that big. vonnie: what did they go public at? alex: i don't remember, it was a few years ago. david: do you have a sense of
8:33 am
how big this marketplace is? this is a business facing businesses. exactly what they do, in the corporate event planning space, they are one of the leaders. if you back it out a little bit, it is thought to be an enormous market so there are all sorts of different players. largely a corporate hospitality related idea. priceline, opentable and some of they have have said had initial conversations with priceline and those companies. so it shocked itself and found vista, the company that was most likely to pay up. vonnie: it looks like they went public in august 2013 and they are up by about 1.1%. ,avid: let's go back to yahoo!

8:37 am
michael: thanks for having me. energy is a huge story. we have seen since november the correlation with non-commodity high yields, the daily movement in commodity prices, in particular. wti in crude has been about -- percent. i think this is a big issue. a big problem for the market. investors are taking their eyes off the ball in terms of fundamentals and non-commodities. we are trading purely on oil and much of the strength we have seen over the last few months has been driven by the commodity sector. commodity paper has rallied extensively and the rest of the market's rally because treasuries are lower. matt: what about the noncommodity space? what is the default look like there? what is the recovery late --
8:38 am
recovery rate look like? michael: recovery rate is at 15% but in the noncommodity space, 2%. investors get fixated on the rate itself rather than the losses associated with the default and you can have very low recovery rates in a modestly high default rate, which is just as bad as a very high default rate with high recovery rates. the fact of the matter is that recovery rates have been anemic. recovery rates are about 10%-15% -- 10 percentage points-15 present points lower. are veryebt to assets high. investment in a tangible assets is very low. ng andave not been investi have been requiring or using cheap debt in order to fund

brazil's future after the president loses a key impeachment vote in the lower house of the parliament. the resilient royale climbed and then dropped again. troyjo.us now is marcos great to have you with us. she is likely to go at this point. whoever takes over, what is to say that they can tackle the problem in a way that she couldn't? marcos: she inherited a bad legacy. he thought he had found a magical formula for resilience economic expansion and what he found the new economic matrix. it really overlooked inflation targeting. so a number of the current
8:45 am
travails of the brazilian economy were actually inherited it. she made it worse by not reaching out to congress and by choosing a week economic theme. so now, i think this is the way the situation will go in brazil. it will take a lot of symbols at first, choosing the right person to administer finance and the governor of central finance, to be the minister of justice. so that the inquiry may go on, the investigation into the largest corruption scandal in residual ever and finding the largest corruption scandal in residual ever and finding the right person will not be a bad decision. he's are important but they will be symbolic. it will help improve brazil's honeyman with a new president and it will take tackling the fundamentals of the brazilian economy, which will be a harder task. david: do we have any sense of the sort people that would be brought in? i know argentina is very different but the new president
8:46 am
there is thought to have selected strong people to implement the new vision. do we know the sorts of people who would be brought in? marcos: those who are in the know talk about the governor of the central bank and a thesenown economist and are great names for the market. these are the kind of people that they will be looking for. jonathan: a lot of people talk had anrgentina -- agenda. it was to regain market access. i just wonder, even if they pick the right people together, for is the agenda? what is the first objective? marcos: if it is true on the one hand when -- was there when these mistakes were made worse, it is also true that late in the second quarter -- late in the third quarter, his party put
8:47 am
together a document called "the bridge towards the future" which brings for the policies that are now successful in argentina. they have to do with reforming social security and making the labor legislation more modern, simplifying tax legislation, reforming foreign policy and trying to have brazil engage with the global production chain. establishing new investment deals with the dynamic markets in the world. this is what he should do, fundamentally, in order to inplement a honeymoon brazil. if that happens, brazil will profit. fundamentals are bad, but perspective could improve and if you tune this right, it will be to results benefit. vonnie: and matt miller has an
8:48 am
illustration of what you are talking about. matt: brazil -- lubricant is a great function where you can search through different stories for any kind of terms. i put impeachment and brazil in the data search across different news sources and you can see the mention of impeachment in brazil has skyrocketed since the beginning of 2016. this is the currency. isyou are looking, strength when it gets lower, because now, you can only by 3.5 rail for one dollar whereas at the beginning of the year, you could buy four. th to restoreth -- to restore the currency, it gets stronger and stronger. jonathan: looking at that chart, you can see clearly that when the momentum builds towards impeachment, brazilian assets rally. i wonder how justified the movement has been over the past
8:49 am
several months. is it enough to change the leader at the top? marcos: there is great expectation in terms of changing the economic management in brazil, it is very important for the different industrial sectors. if you bring in someone who was market,l viewed by the the change of perspective will be a norma's. so what we are looking for in this is symbolism. so if he maybe becomes president in the next two days, brazil will go the right way. ,avid: dallas marcos troyjo thank you for being here. up next, battle of the charts. matt miller faces off with cory johnson. ♪

have,in any case, here we this is a bloomberg gadfly p is that i thought was really good today. you can find that. you can find my chart on the terminal. what it shows you is momentum in oil production. this is opec momentum production. you can see it rising and rising strongly because of iran, iraq and the saudi's. this is u.s. production momentum. momentum is completely slowing down, going negative as we see a lot of shale players shut down because they can't afford to play anymore. this is what opec has brought by allowing the price of oil to go low. the saudi's have spent hundreds of millions of dollars. that is hundreds of billions of dollars in the saudi reserve and
8:54 am
it has enabled them to continue pumping as much oil as they can at $30 a barrel. american shale producers cannot afford to do that. so the question is -- the gadfly piece says hey, they didn't want it agreement at doha, because why we do spend hundreds of billions of dollars to get this and rohit away? david: exactly. and you have no opponent. vonnie: i think cory johnson is writing a musical. it looks like a sound pattern. ownd: he can come do his show. we will go to terminal trends. jonathan: i am really confused. i always need an alternative to matt miller. this is a very difficult situation. so what we will do is something completely different and have a look at what is trending on the terminal. in london, i will bring your

9:04 am
their hope. as we came into the agreement on saturday night, the saudi's got cold feet over signing the agreement. they wanted particular words related to iran saying it would go into effect once i ran went on board but that couldn't be agreed on. the iranians were not even here. ina result, no deal here doha. talks will continue among themselves and between each other. the next meeting will be on june the second at the opec meeting. if iran and saudi arabia refused to become more flexible, it is hard to see how any deal can be done. david: was this a surprise for you? david zervos: not really, the idea that a cartel of this size could put this together should not have been on anyone's radar but the market got excited. they put a lot of hope into this.
9:05 am
they probably went further than they should have and now we are coming back. it is not that big of a deal given the size of the rally. david: yes, it was down by seven present but now down by 4%. david zervos: yes, and i'm with what has gone on since february, i don't think the driver is so high. i think the driver of this recent will rally is the dollar and the change in dollar strategy coming from janet yellen and mario draghi. thank you to elliott gotkine in doha. turning to number two. protesters in brazil are celebrating after the lower house congress voted in favor of impeaching the brazilian president. aher joins us now. where do they go from here?

motion nowimpeachment moves to the senate where analysts say she will find it very difficult to feed off the impeachment motion. analysts think she is probably looking at at least 51 people against her, already and this is before the actual vote. one thing that she can do and what her allies are talking about, is there threatening to take this to court. so she has two avenues. she could fight the senate but it sounds like from her attorney general that they will also start a legal battle. david: there already was one legal proceeding down there. it lost when they challenged it. this is a new one? john: basically, if you look at what both sides are saying, everyone is throwing everything at this. we don't actually have details from the attorney general on the
9:07 am
proceedings that they are planning to take. but this really is a political battle to the death. neither side is showing any willingness to back down or seek compromise. jonathan: you mention either side and i think that is important. because the reporting that we have on television is exclusively about the success of the opposition but you are in brazil. tell us how excited brazil is right now? john: certainly, if you look behind me, last night was an incredible sight. both sides of the national mall were divided into two. there was a huge deal of barricades running down the middle. on one side, dressed in red, you presidentters of the and her predecessor. on the other side, wearing the colors of the national soccer team, you had the impeachment

protesters out in force. this is a very divided country right now. whoever becomes president, whether she survives or whether her vice president takes over, they will have a difficult job in front of them bringing people back together. jonathan: a big thanks to john foraher. shares of morgan stanley are climbing after profits beat estimates but trading revenues fell less than expected. the 54% in fixed income revenue was expected given the business cuts. it is very difficult to get a read on what is actually happening, inc. to bank. that what is clear is that it is a cyclical environment that isn't in their favor. the ceo will be more effective with cost cuts if revenue falls. what is left to cut exactly? >> there is always got to cut
9:09 am
that the focus, as you pointed out earlier, was the fixed income business across wall street is struggling. it is a liquidity story, a story with credit markets freezing and a lot of overindulgence in era.t during the qe so that is really a problem for the banks who have built up huge businesses in underwriting corporate loans and debt. and finding the new equilibrium which is probably less than that a where we will not go as high as that. vonnie: so where do they turn to grow their business? we have the huge corporate deals. we are not sure if they are going to continue. david zervos: there is light at the end of the tunnel. new ceos are coming into the market this week.at the end of the tunnel.
9:10 am
new ceos are coming into the market this week. the high-yield market is coming back. and a lot of that -- i hate to sound like a broken record -- that a lot of it is stemming from the fact that the dollar strength that was pushing on high yields and commodities and a risk scenario globally has been pulled back and it will give some reading room. i don't know if we will get a big push up in credit and we will get some breathing room. we are really at the center of this fixed income rally. vonnie: is everybody going to be one littleor the number of fixed income that comes to the market? david zervos: i'm sure they will. i am not super oldish but there is a window here where things can calmed down. if janet yellen were to have gone down with the full on rate hike, we would be in a much worse position than we are today. so it is good that we have stopped the madness of january or last august, at it is not as
9:11 am
though there will be a big rush where we will get excited about a lot of profitability coming from investment banks. matt: this is a chart that david westin put together for bank earnings last week and it is relevant. it is a great way to compare them. wells fargo has been the strongest. jpmorgan has not been too shabby . it looks like we are seeing morgan stanley improve as they focus on boosting their wealth management business and optimizing their fixed income business. do you think their strategy -- are those the two core parts? david zervos: what would you say about wells fargo? it is a u.s. consumer driven business. that is the strength. so to the extent that morgan stanley goes towards a storyline, they will be better off. m&a in investment banking has
9:12 am
been weaker. so it is no surprise that the white line is on top. and jpmorgan has a good business along those lines, as well. i don't know if it is sustainable but i am not negative on the u.s. consumer. those storylines continue. in terms of the balance sheet and the optimism, it is not as good as it has been. jonathan: you mentioned some structural and cyclical issues. when you break down the first quarter that we have just had, how much of this is a reflection of how difficult it is in the cyclical environment right now versus the regulatory issues going forward? do you see them getting better anytime soon? david zervos: for the big banks, no. will has been a plan that get more to coney and for the biggest players. so it will get pushed back into the world where the shadow banks become more important?
9:13 am
had a rightsaid he to endorse his views. she didn't exactly endorse him. david zervos: she endorsed the idea that we should talk about it. and i think that idea of regulations is not going to go away anytime soon. those rules will keep it very difficult for some of the traditional banking transmission mechanisms to work through the u.s. economy, each will push us into the shadow banking side. and that is a world that we have lived in for the last six years but again, when rates are rising at the u.s. is moving towards a removable -- a removal of accommodations, it isn't as though we will get a big push. it is just a reprieve. we all thought 2016 was going to be three or four interest rate hikes and now, probably less. jonathan: thank you so much.

vonnie: you are watching "bloomberg ." investors have piled into civilian assets believing the impeachment of a brazilian president will pull the country out of a recession. join me now is david zervos and he is making positive recommendations for emerging markets for the first time.
9:23 am
what makes this different? you know, looking back at the history for us, it qe trade that was going to take away from emerging markets and then you had the europeans and japanese doing similar trades and that forced emerging markets to do ugly things, try to devalue and keep up. they don't do it with the same amount of credibility as a developed market which made us nervous about their ability to deal with what was going on in developed markets. the interesting thing here, which i think goes into the election season, if we call off the dollar-strength moves, which has impeded emerging markets given their dollar liability and the fact that the europeans and chinese are still doing
9:24 am
evaluation strategies, if we call that off for a little while, which we have done since february, we get the emerging markets to have a breath of fresh air and we think that could run into the summer months and may be into the election. because janet yellen in particular is not interested in seeing a significant dollar rise which would, in our opinion, force a chinese breakup of the tag. this essentially a macro trade? you are trading a weakened dollar? you believe that will continue in the way it has been going? david zervos: i believe it will continue through the election. if we were to get significant dollar strength going into the summer months and we saw a continuation of what we saw through last year when things got messy in the summer and again in january, we would have the chinese react to that. because they are stuck on the
9:25 am
dollar. so to them, dollar strength means strength unless they break. if they break, they unleash what they unleashed in august which is a huge tightening in conditions which nobody wants to see, in particularly, the fed. , it is a nicet equilibrium for the moment. particularly if you don't want to have a big correction in stocks or a big unwieldy set of actions come through the markets as we head into a hotly contested election, which, by the way, if we go to the fringes of a political party, it will probably be less advantageous of the federal reserve given that they are not well liked on the fringes of the party. jonathan: the first question i would ask at this point, if this is just a weak dollar trend, why are they playing on the dollar? david zervos: we recommend

9:31 am
board, the concern is that oils and stocks have been tightly -- tightly correlated. even a reduction in production out of opec, first, you have not been reading the news, second, you'd be disappointed. let's look at the s&p movers here as far as industry groups. only consumer discretionary stocks are moving higher and they are only moving .02% higher. not really a move at all. leaving the losses. you have got financials down as well. i say that because morgan stanley -- i will show you in a second. let's take a look at netflix and amazon, netflix is out with earnings after the bell. the competition with amazon is fierce. netflix according to the teenage kid report last week, it is still winning.
9:32 am
you see the shares down 1.3%. if they will really raise prices for those who are grandfathered into the 7.99 deal to 9.99 here in the u.s. people will also see how they have done reaching out expanding to 130 countries last year. they have that 80 million people signed up and paying for netflix. we will see how profitable it is. year, hequarter last earned -- expecting three cents this year. we know revenue is up 25%. that is the problem. the company put up .2%. it beat on estimates that have beat onered so much, it estimates that have been cut 52% in the past six months.
9:33 am
analysts had to come down hard to allow this company to be. both hasbro and pepsi beat. hasbro has access to these star wars towards. it has done so well for them. disney princesses are doing well for them. a winner. they also did well with plato, apparently. well.o has not done with sales of pepsi, it has come under fire. here in theks, u.s., a big boom really helping patsy to stay above the analyst estimate number. let's be honest. most companies do not have a problem staying above analyst estimate numbers. companies beat analysts estimates. why don't you just say here is
9:34 am
what my estimate is. exactly right we are back with michael cohen of barclays. we heard from dan, vice chairman. he said there is euro trust between saudi arabia and iran right now. let's listen. >> of course, it would be a very loosey-goosey deal, agreeing to agreeable production levels. it wasend of the day, the saudi's, the deputy press that -- since that lay down, that there would not be any deal, even a loosey-goosey deal, if the iranians were not there. bridge toould be a the autumn when the markets would stabilize. at the last minute, the bridge crumbles. >> this cannot have been the result people hoped for. it built up our expectations.
9:35 am
is this an elaborate game of chicken? >> no. all the way up until sunday morning, there was a draft. the hope was -- this is a bland statement we all agreed to two they couldhe time not even come to any kind of agreement or anything. it really underlines the fact that between saudi arabia and iran, there is a lot of discourse and the deputy conference is truly in the drivers seat and what he is saying really goes right now. even in the last month or so, striking a bit of a conciliatory tone.
9:36 am
now, by his statements over the weekend is really saying look, we are not getting involved with any kind of agreement. therefore a long time, -- if we takes --ther step closer, >> retired for a long time now. could expose that there is a discord between the two men. it is too early to say. the minister is still the representative to opec, still the voice of the saudi industry. week or so,t mohammed is going to be releasing a plan for saudi arabia to whether the oil downturn.
9:37 am
this is an important moment in the relationship of the men in the saudi kingdom. across bloomberg that -- is gone p or what does that mean for the crude market? michael: it is still too early to say but i will same a homage been behind the strategy for several months. think there are nuances to the strategy that are behind this conciliatory tone over the last few months that the minister was trying to strike. that a freeze was possible. i think it would end up being more of the same. show us what you have? matt: i have been looking at saudi reserves. here in white and the price of oil.
9:38 am
you can see the massive reserves come down as well. thisstill keying off bloomberg gadfly piece that says, if we spent $2.3 billion to get through the slump, why raise the price and help low cost producers get back and the market when we have already bought the market share. michael: over the course of the last two months, when the market gained hope, we actually delay that the reckoning should be taken place. in that sense, there is a silver lining hopefully will backtrack into the $40 range. the second thing is the saudi's, as he referred to, the rapid drop in foreign exchange reserves, the saudi's have many options at the disposal. high level of foreign exchange
9:39 am
reserves. there is no point of them supporting the high cost producers. for them, they can wait it out. reckoning be a day of and if prices stay very low in the30-40 range, it is's by 2017-20 18 timeframe, there could be serious problems and arguably there already are. this will be the first summer where the populace in saudi arabia goes to prices that are more market friendly or more closer to the market. that will essentially lead to possibly some real unrest we are parties seen that. you think the imbalance is getting back to normal by the end of the year. michael: that is why they have possibly been incentivize into not agreement. from the broader market balancing going on now. david: do you agree with this?
9:40 am
>> i think the fundamentals matter more but i wonder how you think about the overall policy impacting your view on oil in the sense that if we are to see a weaker dollar that states that for a while, does that affect the demand side and the supply side on the oil? you could make an argument it could be quite good for the demand side, actually coming out of the emerging market. >> to the extent we see a reversal, it could lead to leading itucers harder for the development costs over the last several months. russia saw development costs fall by 20%. if that were to reverse as a result of dollar weakening, it could essentially lead to higher costs of production going forward. talking 1-2%e not
9:41 am
relative to other currencies? it would need to be a sincere weakening if you like. michael: it is very much intertwined. to the extent the dollar moves for supply reasons, sorry, that oil moves for supply reasons, we also think the correlation is likely to break down a little bit from where it was and a high correlation in 2015. thing we have not discussed is what the morning means to u.s. shale producers hanging on by fingernails, heavily indebted. what has this been for them? been a nice recovery in the last two months and it will hit them a little harder. i think there was hope in the u.s. more than anywhere else to get something on the books that would either increase the demand
9:42 am
side or stop the supply side. i was coming at it from the demand side when i asked the question, is there a lurking increase in demand we are not necessarily taking into account that comes through from a weaker dollar and a stronger china and the u.s. >> a really good question. >> there is certainly the possibility. india and china are strong andces of demand growth should the dollar continued to weaken, that could lead to higher -- david: thank you, michael for being back with us. you will stick with us and still ahead, netflix reports after the bell today as subscriber growth in the united states slows. chemistry during service keep adding new customers overseas? ♪
