guy: welcome to "on the move." it is 7:30 in london. berlin.30 in i'm guy johnson alongside hans nichols. here is what the pair of us are watching. the fed decides. no fireworks expected, but investors await a risk assessment. is june 2 soon? a bad day for barclays the chairman promised to double the asre price and falls far off profit drops 25%.

it very bruised apple. $45 billion in market cap is lost as a 50 one-quarter growth streak is shattered. has peaked iphone come and gone? we are going to talk about apple and the fed, but it's all about the banks. we're going to talk to santander. my assessment of the banking reporting season is expectations were so low that actually trying to make a beat happened and isn't as hard as you would of thought. a good think that's point. it's a lot like the show. expectations are low. people may watch it. santander and barclays, even though we did have a difference onbarclays had a big loss the estimates, and santander beat estimates -- one thing they have in common, they are losing loans on commodity loans. that get us back to the oil and gas sector. we need to press them on how bad are their energy sector loans.

guy: it's going to be fascinating to hear what they say about the low interest rate environment. what was interesting about barclays, they cut the retail part of the business, which now makes more money than the investment part. that's a factoid we will bring out later. we are half an hour away from the european open. let me take you to the bloomberg and show you what is going on. to be honest, it's all about the stocks rather than the stock market, and it's going to be interesting how everything changes throughout the morning. we are a little bit higher on the euro stocks. cac flat, and the dax, a little bit firmer. it does seem as if everybody is going to be staying in germany today because of the lufthansa strikes. hans: you may be staying in frankfurt to her that is where much of the strike is located. onsaw a big move overnight u.s. inventories. brent is still up higher.

namely the big story for me is what is happening with the australian dollar. it's down there at the bottom, big loser, down almost 2%. we basically see a flat dollar-yen. let's get to bloomberg first word news with david inglis. david: let's get started with donald trump, because he has declared himself the presumptive nominee for the republican party. victorye as he swept to in all five northeastern states holding primaries tuesday. on the other side, democrat hillary clinton beating bernie sanders in four out of the five states. the winds had pressure on their challengers to show they remain viable. spain is heading for new elections in june after parliament failed to select a prime minister for the first time in its democratic history. king philippe a halt to the efforts to forge a governing majority last month. he concluded that none of the candidates had enough support to win.

marks the date as the likely date for a new poll. as we just showed you, the aussie dollar has weekend after inflation unexpectedly dropped during the first quarter. the consumer price index fell 0.2%. were expecting a 0.2% gain according to a bloomberg survey. the shares of apple have slumped in after hours trading, that after second quarter sales fell 13, -- 13% from the year earlier. the tech china is also predicting a further sales slump as growth in china stumbles. dayal news 24 hours a powered by our 2400 journalists and 150 news bureaus around the world. you can find more stories on the bloomberg top . guy: thank you very much indeed. let's just talk about what we've got coming up. earnings, butrate really, it's all about the fed.

we get the outcome of the fed local meeting at 7:00 p.m. u.k. time. economists see no chance of a hike today, but investors will be looking for clues as for the possibility of a rate rise as soon as june. that may be somewhat overeager. expects as market hike in september. joining us is first word strategist richard jones. his june 2 soon? to richard: i think june is too soon. i expect the fed to play a steady hand, but a lot of change from the previous statement, and i also think -- i know we tend to be obsessed about brexit in the u.k., but we have also had the fed saying, and i believe it was dennis lockhart saying, that brexit is on their radar, and they are concerned that any sort concerns may feed into the u.s. economy. with the fed meeting in june a week before the brexit vote, it

might be too soon. guy: compare and contrast the domestic story. you talked about the brexit story and what is happening with the boj and ecb. domestically, things are taking along pretty nicely. richard: for a data-dependent fed, and i'm a bit of the data that has come down considerably since two weeks ago. 2% was the estimate for gdp. now it's about 0.4%. it has come down considerably. i think a lot of economists are saying, the fed can discount a soft patch in the first quarter. for a data-dependent fed, the most recent data they look at was quite a bit softer than what even as of sixed weeks ago. i'm going to think you

from berlin. i'm also going to apologize i can't be with you in london. up next, we are joined by the chief financial officer of bank go santander. firstl discuss the bank's quarter results and the outlook for european banking. that is coming up next. ♪

guy: welcome back. it is 40 minutes past the hour. this is what london looks like. absolutely freezing this

morning, but beautiful. the sun is out. we don't often see that in london. here's the bloomberg business flash. here's david inglis. david: thanks, guy. let's get started with lufthansa and air berlin, canceling more than 900 flights this week alone, public workers demanding a 6% pay increase. cancer sick -- cancel 60% of those flights today -- lufthansa will cancel 60% of those flights today. first quarter adjusted earnings for the energy producer, $1.64 billion. that's more than $1.25 billion seen in a bloomberg survey. profit was about 37% lower than a previous figure amid a slump in crude prices. statoil has reported a first

quarter profit surprising analysts who expected a loss. the oil company announced adjusted profits of $122 million to the market predicted the norwegian energy producer would be $125 million the opposite way in the red. adidas has raised its profit forecast. income up 15% to 18% this year. also raised its 2016 sales outlook. now to check twitter, taking a tumble after missing estimates for revenue projections. it is expecting second-quarter sales to be lower than $610 million. analysts were projecting $677 million. it is for going to add new which has affected

advertising sales. that's her bloomberg business flash. back to you. guy: thank you very muchguy: indeed. quartert new first european bank earnings, creating a mixed picture for the industry. yesterdayhartered reported a beat of profits. capital told bloomberg levels improved. barclays reported a drop in pretax profit of 25%. analysts predicted a figure of 846 million dollars. i think analysts are seeing numbers they like. santander posted a drop but beat estimates. net income came in at 1.6 3 billion euros, more than the 1.5 expected from bloomberg surveys. joining us on the phone exclusively is jose garcia contera. good morning to you, sir. thank you for taking the time to join us.

clearly, the numbers have been affected by the foreign exchange story, so i'm going to move past that. int i'm seeing is a 5% drop net q1 interest income. how much of that is you rolling -2-3 program across spain, and how much is due to mario draghi? for the thank you opportunity. the 5% drop in net interest income is mostly explained by particularlyrate, the drop of the pound relative to the euro. excluding that, net interest income is up 6% in the quarter compared to the first quarter last year. in spain, we had a slight negative net interest income, but again come it's mostly due to the competition on the asset side. guy: jeff bailey at barclays saidguy: he's feeling cautious

ahead of the referendum in the u.k. the u.k. come as you indicated, somewhat of a driver of the profitability line. are you feeling cautious ahead of that moment, as well? mr. cantera: i think our business in the u.k. is doing very well. on thegaining clients one-to-three account. -- 1-2-3 account. one billion pounds of deposits per month in the first quarter. our business is doing very well in the quarter. obviously, we felt market due to the eu referendum in the exchange rate. in the u.k., our business is doing very well. --s: hans nichols in berlin i'm glad you mentioned eu

politics. i wanted to ask you about the ecb program. do you plan to participate in the? mr. cantera: we are analyzing that. the technical paper is not out yet. once we know the details, we will decide whether we will participate or not. i think it's too premature to make any estimates at this point. hans: you have announced some job cuts in spain. where else might we see job cuts for the bank? i mr. cantera: think searching for efficiency, operating efficiency, is a constant for santander. we have one of the best efficiency levels in the industry at 48%. right now, our target is to get to 45%. we're looking to reach that target in our geographies. the search for more efficient business processes is a constant.

don't have any specific plans similar to the ones we announced in spain, but again, it's a constant strategic goal we have in our day to day. guy: we've dealt with europe and the u.k.. can i take you to the other side of the atlantic? we're going to start south and work our way north. you have seen a significant decline in npl' in latin america. is that sustainables? mr. cantera: the main problem there is brazil. the brazilian economy is challenging at the moment. it's estimated that the gdp might drop around 4% this year. 4% lastfter another year. we think we are going to see pressures coming from that in the next few quarters. doing a greate

management of the situation in brazil through the changes our business has made and cost controls and the spread increases. i think it's a challenging environment, but i think over the next couple years, the cost of credit in latin america will go down. guy: let me take you further north. let's talk about north america. you have a stress test coming up. you have failed it a couple times. are we going to see a third fail , or is it a pass? mr. cantera: we don't have any indication from the fed yet. we had an exercise a couple weeks ago. we haven't heard anything from them. more important than passing or to see if weit's are making significant progress toward setting up a robust foundation for our business long-term in the u.s..

one year later, it's not important. what is important given our commitment to the u.s. and our long-term goals in the u.s., what is important is for us to build a strong foundation. we want to make sure we are making progress towards that. hans: we saw bad commodity loans really affect the results of barclays and standard chartered. where are you positioned on that, and how much do you see the slowdown in commodities and loans affecting your business? we mr. cantera: have a relatively small portfolio in oil and gas. however, in the u.s., we decided to make prudential provisions in the quarter that amounted to $100 million. right now, we have 8% of our oil and gas portfolio in the u.s. provisioned for. we feel comfortable with that. a lot of what we have in the u.s. is reserve-based lending,

high-quality names, very good quality names, and elsewhere, we mostly work with semi-state oil companies in latin american countries. oilintrinsic risk of our and gas portfolio is very low, on top of the fact that we have a relatively small portfolio. guy: i asked you a political question earlier on. let me ask you another one. we have seen the news related to the fact that we are likely to see another election in spain. can i ask you two questions -- first of all, how do you think the economy is being affected by the political instability, and is there any impact you are seeing into your business as a result? mr. cantera: i think it's -- the

last elections, we had them in december. the economy in spain is doing very well. it grew at 3% last year. it's expected to grow at 2.8% this year. so far, the impact is not significant. inwill have elections again june. hopefully, we will be able to form a government after that. the real impact in terms of the economy, i think, is going to be negligible or relatively small. in our business, we are not seeing that.just to give you a few numbers, new mortgage production is up 25%. business lending is up 13% year on year. that tells you that the spanish economy really is thriving at the moment. guy: excellent. we will leave it on that note. thank you very much indeed for your time, the cfo of banco santander. up next, we are going to look at potential corporate movers,

including barclays. yes, the bank may have missed estimates, but it looks as if there might be stability in the investment bank that the market's liking. it's a similar story may be with what we saw yesterday with standard chartered.there are no horror stories. maybe that's enough to keep the market on board. we are eight minutes away from the market open. we will run you through the financials next. ♪

hans: it is 7:53 in london.

that means it is 8:53 in berlin. what are you watching in london? the ring gynt is rising, the new central bank governors. we watching two things this morning. we're watching what is happening with the fed. that's going to be the big story, but in advance of that, european banks are in focus. we were speaking with the ceo of santander, interesting conversation talking about the spanish economy and with what is happening in the u.k. f and barclays is an interesting call. caroline hyde has the details about the banks. caroline: we actually could see barclays pop on the open despite the fact we are seeing profit down 25%. it looks like a miss. this is barclays share price over the course of 12 months. many expected it could fall. we could see 2% or 3% higher.

they've got big credit impairments coming from the oil and gas area. perhaps also some of the charges come into their corporate and investment banking unit that they are winding down -- if you strip away that charge, it looks like profit before tax beat according to certain analysts. watch the barclays shares. could it rise on the open despite a 25% slump in its first-quarter profit? this is total in the white. this is the oil and gas 600 stock index. total beat first-quarter estimates, one, $.6 billion helped by cost-cutting. lastly, i give you adidas. the open asw on adidas beats in terms of its forecast. that looks a little bit like a --

[indiscernible] coming up, it is the market open. how will barclays start the day? we will find out in four minutes and eight seconds. ♪

councilmember mckeown: -- good evening i am guy johnson. hans nichols is in berlin. where moments away at the start of european trading and you have the morning brief. ans: no fireworks expected but investors await a risk assessment. as barclays falls 25% of the first quarter of the investment bank is relatively resilient. and a bruised apple.

lets head to caroline for the latest. caroline: we are starting to see 0.2%.day stoxx 600 up barclay'stale and come out with earnings. you see a slump for the first time in 14 years. here is the euro stoxx 50. completely flat. waiting for the cac 40 to open, for the dax to open. it is a tech industry feeling the pain. and the fact that apple's earning missed forecast.

no huge moves. we want to dig into the individual movers once again. oil guiding energy higher. if you dig into the imap function, you can dig into what is happening on and industry basis. those suppliers of apple saw a let's move on to what is happening in currency markets. this is your world currency. down 1.8%. that is what happens when your inflation falls through the floor. we've got weighted median cpi, your consumer price index, gaining 0.1%.

it was the weakest on record for australia's inflation. does that mean more interest rate cuts are to come? elsewhere, the u.s. dollar weakening ahead of the federal reserve. let's get on to those stocks. let's get into barclays. in terms of its impact on share price, or was it indeed that we were seeing barclays post a 25% drop in their share price? it's up 3.5%. missed, but it's in the bad bank area. the corporate investment banking unit saw a decrease in its pretax profit, but it was oil and gas. underlying this, it looks good. total, up more than 1%. the first quarter beat even though profit fell 37%. adidas, unchanged. german stocks are a bit slow to open. adidas, forecast to jump 2% to

3%. y: let's talk barclays. we have michael morrow, our u.k. finance editor. what are we up now? days, 4.72r three percent. the daily session chart, maybe not so amazing. three point 65%. walk me through this. michael: you saw yesterday with standard chartered a bit of a relief rally. 25%,you have profit down but it's not as bad as it could have been. the investment bank seemed to hold up better than some of the u.s. peers. they had a week quarter a year ago, so it's an easier held up.n, but trading credit-rating did better than expected. there are some nuggets of good news, and a lot of the bad news came from the businesses they are exiting. investors can say, if i believe

they are connected out of these, i can look past that. guy: most of the bad news is in the rearview mirror. he mcfarlane's court that can deliver a share price doubling in three years, we are doubling -- we are all for that. it's got a long way to go, but this is certainly a star. give jeff daly a little bit of want toity in saying, i stick with the investment bank. i think it can turn around. hans: from the goldman numbers, we saw investment banking income down 23%. it doesn't look like we are going to have that much activity in the m&a sector. read it forward a little bit. what does it mean if m&a stays soft? they don't seem to be giving up on that space. michael: they are certainly not giving up on that space, but it does mean a rough year.

you heard it from deutsche bank talking about this year is probably going to be down because there was so much turbulence at the beginning of the year, and barclays today saying that investment banking in april was not as strong as in march. you are seeing some slowness in that area, and m&a drives a lot of follow-on activity. certainly, that will be a headwind. guy: why are we so obsessed with the investment bank? the investment bank is old news. in some ways, are we looking at the share price popping? this is confirming a trend that the valuable the retail business looks pretty good. the investment bank is an issue but there are parts of this business and they are becoming clearer in these numbers. they're starting to really come through. >> the reason that the

investment bank gets some much attention is because it dominates the capital, which drives the roe. that is why i get so much attention from investors. a lot of these other businesses are star performers. areeley c -- barclay card what investors are excited about. if you can get the investment bank cannot only be a growth driver, but a drag, you can have a very profitable company. it is time for me to do my autopilot question which is to ask what does this mean for ?eutsche bank >> we will find out tomorrow. certainly a bit of hope. that things were not as bad as the u.s. banks made them seem.

it went down but not as much in the trading business and you have this kind of surprised in the credit trading being up more than 40%. bank reference this or are they clicking a share from deutsche bank? are they both benefiting or is barclays kind of winning? >> or are they taking away business from nomura? this shocking drop, they have come through a massive miss this morning. >> unexpected losses and you saw them get out a lot of the trading businesses. it's because it has been a tough environment. as these players exit, that is the hope for the big guys. the smaller players exit, pick

up more share, and it is easier to be profitable. guess we need to take it back to germany. adidas is out this morning and that share price looks like it's continuing. hans: he says as he takes over and try to turn the company around and the increase guidance for next year. it means either i am buying more running shoes or you are buying more tailor-made golf equipment. that has always been a drag on added us -- on adidas. i am spending more time on the track or you on the links. in crudehe collapse prices they have the estimates. how did they do it? ♪

statoil unexpectedly posted a profit. the company's ceo spoke to bloomberg about the difficult climb up. >> we are obviously affecting the low commodity price. no significant impact from that. we could see a very strong performance. we are growing production capacity organically, and also very good progress on the improvement program that we have in working hard on for quite some time. guy: he is talking to us a little bit earlier. they both produce profit. this feels eerily similar. is it similar reasons? >> it is. refining is one of the reasons. etalle is the biggest refiner in europe. that's what we learn from them.

the refineries are working at 94% capacity which means that demand is very healthy. that has been helping them. in all thehing is, oil companies we have heard from, we are seeing really restrained capital spending. i like the way you are mentioning from the demand side. what does that tell us geographically about where demand is coming? >> the growth is coming in europe and i think that's really encouraging for the crude oil picture. bp, we heard yesterday from americans are driving more, gasoline is just over two dollars per gallon at the pump. what we are seeing is much better than expected margins. winter was very tough because it was warmer and people bought

less heating fuel than anticipated. we have stronger margins and very strong demand in europe and the united states. having those two drivers in asia is very ehl -- helpful. guy: let's talk a little bit about the expectations versus reality. expectations were pretty much on the floor. we knew that the oil price had been low and the upstream business would be tough. is the market looking for reasons to be cheerful? >> to be fair, the oil companies to not always surprise on the upside. i don't think this is just a case of the oil companies guiding the analysts to pour of

ver expectations. what i will say is that two takeaways from the total earning statements today, the spending cuts, the reserve capital spending. a couple months ago, they said their target is $19 billion. they will come in below that. but if you think about it, we had the head of the iea earlier saying in an interview, the oil price could be as high as $80 by 2020. it's like funding your kid's education. if you keep cutting back on capital expenditure, you will make less money down the road. that is a big picture message for investors out there. total is still depending on $60 per barrel oil price. to balance their books and have cash flow they need a $60 price. from $60 shifting announced rigorously to six -- to $50 or $55. if you are holding total shares,

you're still $15 out of the money from being assured you will get the dividend in the future. guy: we know that you have to go beyond the radio. we will let you do that. ryan chilcote, if you want to listen to him, go to the radio. but i urge you to stay here for the time being. one thing that you should also be doing if you are on the bloomberg and interested in what is happening with barclays, go to top line. you will get a list of things and you can select what is happening with barclays. the call is now on. we have senior management addressing the call no. this is a live blog. we can follow it. great information and analysis. tliv. hans? hans: it is witty, it is fun, it's a lot like this show. up next, smartphone sales take a bite out of apple. we break with that means for the

there was a looseness to the way that we managed the place. i don't think -- i'm not blaming anybody. i think it came from years of great success when the bank outperformed. from time to time i get a hard time from shareholders who say how could we have seen such a great -- great drop. things must've been terrible? i say, you're the one who bought the stock at 14 pounds. you are encouraging management to grow more, book more loans, get bigger, you madam shareholder or mr. shareholder are encouraging the bank to do the things that were the partial undoing. shareholders to appreciate that but i say, what we are doing now is focusing on what is great about the bank, what we can invest in to make it better. and that is what we are doing. guy: kind of hard to ignore the horse. let's talk to francine lacqua not making any connections. in some ways i am.

guy: welcome back, you're watching on the move. one of the big stories here was barclays this morning. some of that is starting to be unwound as we speak. the stock is still up quite nicely. the media call has just finished. we have given back some of the game. similar stories at the other banks as well. keep an eye on that sector. it has had a nice bounce but it would always be unlikely to last throughout the entire day. that's your bloomberg business flash. here is david ingles. >> let's have a look at energy earnings. total has posted past market estimates.

add -- it's struggle to add new users may have affected advertising sales. that is your bloomberg business flash. back to you. inflationralia's core slowed to the weak us on record as headline prices unexpectedly fell in the fourth quarter. dan petry is there. the aussie dollar was also sold off aggressively. will the authorities have to act? word, that is certainly looking to be the case. you saw that core inflation number. to give you an indication, eight 2%-3%rgets inflation and. we are facing good old-fashioned deflation. the one thing that policymakers here would like to have is economy firing on all cylinders. at the moment, a shrill you has caught up with that global

pessimism which we have been seeing on the markets. reader,arge, for a q1 just use my own vernacular, it is a shocker. you are not seeing anything really heading toward an upward trend. the big banks have been coming in with revised forecasts. rba saying there is a live decision next week. keep your eyes posted on that one. guy: this 25 basis point cut. is part much of this and parcel of confusion at the rba as they watch what is happening? as the commodity story rolls off and the service sector and the rest of the economy start to make a migration. it is hard to judge for the guys to figure out what rate policy should be doing and whether or to.this aaa will be hung on >> it's very difficult, you are

quite right. that will be an acute pressure for the government of the day. also in election mode. there is one due in july. australians for some reason love to have elections these days and chuck prime minister's. by and large, you are looking at a situation where there is a transition from a mining-construction boom. that delivered rivers of revenue but without much to show for it. s are in deficit. australia if anything needs to activate a fiscal all of the lover. that -- a fiscal policy lever. they spent $30 billion on shopper-ready projects. you have a situation where the central bank needs to step in and address the demand equation. we are seeing at the moment the aussie dollar which has also been very unhelpful. the rba extra cash rate is 2%.

that sounds quite impressive when you compare it to its p eers, but by and large that is a huge gap. bringthing, it's really -- being dragged down by that as well. one factor that also played heavily today is good old-fashioned crude which is playing havoc with markets such as ours. it does appear that they will have to act on tuesday. that is the reserve bank meeting at 2:00 p.m. australia time. hans: thank you for your verbiage, the shocker. i will keep that with me all morning. as lowflation advances in has adopted several unconventional monetary policies to that end but has not been able to vanquish stubbornly low inflation. the bundesbank resident --

president weighed in on the prospect of helicopter money. >> in my opinion, the concept belongs back in the academic drawers that it came from. the decision of money to the people will lead to a complete dissolving between monetary and fiscal policy. it creates expectation that money could keep raining from the sky, which in my opinion is not right. the: for the time being, ecb has signaled that it is unlikely to do anything to the impact of stimulus can be assessed. janet yellen now has the perfect opportunity to hike this summer. joining me now to discuss central-bank interconnectedness is the chief economist at hell of a lot -- at helebat frankfurt.

when you join the conversation across the atlantic come up what will the get from janet yellen and what is your message to mario draghi? tonight we will hear from her that, for the time being, interest rates in the rightre right exactly where they are. potential fort be inflation or risk. first quarter growth will be relatively weak. the growth would be better throughout the year. for the time being, growth in the u.s. is not very strong. the labor market is very strong, the risk for inflation in the future is there. -- rates are do is right for the time being, but in

case growth will pick up and inflationary risk will increase,there might be an interest rate hike the first of this year. we expect the next hike in june. hans: when you look at what frankfurt, in particular at the ecb, mario draghi is the gentleman leaving the door open for janet yellen to hike, to make action. what is the one thing that frankfurt would like to hear from janet yellen? >> i think that what frankfurt wants to hear is that things are not as bad as some markets think. we have kind of a vicious circle. we had turbulence in january and february. this created uncertainty. this uncertainty was one of the reasons that mario draghi went even more expansionary.

this policy created again uncertainty. to get out of this vicious circle, we need some kind of stability. that is a stein that janet yellen could give tonight that the situation in the u.s. is not as bad. case, the growth will be increasing in the coming months. there is even room for higher interest rates. guy: the best way she could say she is comfortable with the u.s. economy and where it is is to raise rates. would that be too much? >> no. i think it would not be too much. i think it would be really a good sign to say that everything seems to be fine the time being. risksare risks, but also on both sides with growth and inflation. she is fine with the current situation and that is about it.

further data will show the future. guy: when you look at what is happening with the story relating to the banking sector in europe, we were talking to the cfo of santander early on. he is waiting for details from the ecb. monetary policy at this point and time seems to be stuck in the middle. we are waiting for the fed to figure out what it will do. we are waiting for the ecb to provide us details. how long until we get a gauge on the real effect it is happening right now? >> the problem with monetary policy is that many people think the only instrument we have is monetary policy. but at the end of the day it is whomarket participants

should be willing to invest. but at the same time, the ecb sends a signal that everything is so weak and the risks are bigger than the opportunities. then there is the whole burden on the monetary policy but then it gets stuck and i think that the ecb realized that the negative interest rates were a mistake. in germany and the critics are so loud that he says, i don't want to hear that. please let me go the way that i think i should. we have kind of a dilemma. he can't turn back negative interest rates right away but i think the ecb started to realize negative interest rates are a for the companies, savers, and the banks. that's the kind the dilemma that we have there with the monetary penalty, especially in europe.

guy: gertrude, chief economist at helabad. draghi did not answer the argument, he just made another one on that charge about low interest rates. up next, poll position. trump and clinton extended their lead in the race for the white house. do the challengers stand any chance of mounting a comeback? the latest coming up next. ♪

[booing] if fighting for women's health care and paid family leave, and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in. [applause] hans: let's go to our senior white house correspondent, margaret taub is up late in l.a.

there has been talk of trump softening his image. when is that likely to happen? reporter: maybe never. he set himself tonight, it's l ike a football game. if you are winning, why switch? he said maybe i will switch a little bit in the general election but not the stuff that is working. he is still trying to win a primary and a lot of what he was doing to hillary clinton a few hours ago was probably aimed at trying to lock down the republican primary vote in indiana. but video cameras are rolling and this is the stuff that ads are made of in the fall. i think his position is that he will cross that bridge when he gets to it. guy: the bridges keep getting crossed. can he actually be stopped? reporter: yes and no. it all comes down, in large part, to what happens in the state of indiana. if it is not resolved then, then in california, all the way to june -- the difference between

what is going on with donald trump and hillary clinton is, a lot of the republican establishment wants to stop him. on the democratic side, a lot of the democratic side is waiting to receiver at the convention. it becomes increasingly difficult to stop him when he has nights like he had last night. guy: we will leave it there. we will watch with interest. margaret joining us out of new york, up early or late, depending on your point of view. you will not want to miss our all-star lineup this fed day. we will speak to a fed president, bill gross will be joining us. blackrock as well. the fed is really front and center today. but we are not talking about today. word that wes one need to look for in the statement we gave which is risk. how will they talk about it? is it upside or downside? that is what i'm looking for. it is only 8:00 our time.
