5:01 am
is a huge search and rescue operation off of some of the greek islands where we have lost atck of the egypt airplane 2:30 local time last night. is very fluid. we are watching for the aggregation of headlines. we will have a map soon. i know we are going to cairo soon. it is a nation that has seen too many of these accidents. francine: let's get to the bloomberg first word news. here is nejra cehic with more on egypt. jetliner fromtian paris to cairo has disappeared over the mediterranean. egypt's prime minister says he cannot rule out the possibility of a terror attack. flight eight 04 was lost on radar at 170 miles from the egyptian coast. it was an airbus 823. andtian military aircraft

5:03 am
we have been talking about this. we have conflicting messages from officials. we know there is a huge search and rescue operation and authorities are reviewing passenger information on the disappearing flight. >> exactly. right now, so far, there has been a reluctance to say exactly what has happened to the flight. it is being referred to as missing or disappeared. the egyptian prime minister that theyaid on tv cannot rule out possibilities. he did not state anything beyond that. they're playing it close to the vest so they do not have to issue denials, retractions, or corrections. francine: we had conflicting reports. we cannot get to the bottom of if there was a distress signal
5:04 am
sent. aat egyptian officials got 2:30 local time. we have a picture from marine traffic of a graphic of the ships closing in on the last reported position of the plane. this seems like a massive search and rescue operation. this point, the most they can do in the best they can hope for is go to the last known position of the flight where they lost radar contract, or where radar contact was severed. use that as a starting point. it is unclear if they have concrete information that pinpoints a specific location as an area where they want to concentrate their search. confidence in an airline that is part of the elite of the nation. within this tragedy does
5:05 am
egyptair have the confidence of travelers in the nation? >> they have had some incidents. there was a hijacking in march. those incidents are more linked to the potential problems with airport security. the hijacking, it turned out that the hijacker did not have any actual weapons. incident ine an 1999 with the downing of a flight. the egyptians have resisted the u.s. explanation that it was pilot suicide. there are questions. by and large, the airline does have a monopoly here. often, the egyptians do not have an option the on that. there are flights that will take european carriers, but it is not bad. people are comfortable with it.
5:06 am
tom: one final question as we wait for news from the egyptian authorities. and the authorities in france. the idea of terrorism, the idea of the tragedies of the middle east in recent months and weeks, what will you listen for this morning? what will you pay attention to of the aggregation of the bloomberg terminal? >> you are looking for any clear indication that this is some involvement on the part of a d, or if this is a potential problem to someone smuggling in something from the airport. there are so many variables. i think we need to stand back and wait for some clue before we jump to any conclusion as to what might be behind this. tom: it sounds like an view.igent we will get to the event starting with the minutes yesterday.
5:07 am
the data, it is a change to data check. equities, bonds, commodities. euro, 112 point 22 is weaker. a stronger dollar over the last 18-hours. on the next screen, the idea of the two-year yield, a huge move in three days. i will show a chart on that later in the hour. the yen 110.06. euro-dollare 122.22. hasek resources, the industry group losing the most. because of the egypt air airplane we are seeing travel and leisure down. it is the second industry group losing the most. that is linked to emerging market. the egyptian stock market is down. snapshot a quick .
5:08 am
all are strength off of the dx why index, a blended index of old traditional trading partners. here is the range. we came down. we are nowhere near a dollar breakout to new strength. francine: this is what i made for you. i know you are interested in training and container ships. it is a great way of looking at trade around the world. on a day where we talk about the fed, this is what i came up with, container shipping rates. sluggish global demand show shipping rates. they lost 30% over the last year. if the fed starts normalizing, the dollar goes up, what does that mean for this industry? are joined by steven saywell. it is great to have you on the program. markets are repricing. they're taking seriously the fact we could see something in june. earlier there was a 4% chance of
5:09 am
a fed rate hike in june, now it is 34%. should it be higher? market hasthink the gone too far. i will push back heavily. the fed may want to hike in june, but will not have the market conditions. i will highlight three key points. it is data dependent. we don't think the data will be that great, particularly forward-looking data. the majority of the fed would like to hike. we do not know if that includes yellen and fisher. they said the fed is not a democracy. and if the dollar strengthens, markets, off, it makes it harder for the fed to hike. francine: it would be pretty are they atwhy pains of convincing the market that they are ready to act if the data prevents? is an interesting
5:10 am
question. it probably comes back to the 4% figure. the market is not pricing in enough risk. maybe the fed wants the market to price and more risk, even if it is not a 100% possibility, 4% is too low. the real will it do to economy of developed nations, particularly em? steven: we have seen relaxation of that trend. the dollar has come off somewhat. if the dollar picks up again, it puts a lot of questions out there -- what does it mean for the renminbi? what is it mean for flows into the em currencies? it is something we have to keep a handle on. it gets back to the feedback .3., th if the dollar rises, this is the market tightening for the fed.
5:11 am
it takes pressure off of the fed to follow through. insight, it gets the red line to increase toward the. plot -- the dot plot. monetary kabuki. yesterday, june mentioned six times by the fed. we will look at the banking business. they get a bid with the fed shenanigans. it has been an ugly week for the banks. christopher wheeler is in new york. christopher wheeler, next. good morning. ♪

tom keene in new york. the airliner crash across the mediterranean sea off the shores of egypt. we will bring that information to you as it becomes available -- as it becomes available. christopher wheeler has had 15 meetings with esteemed clients in new york. his head is a jumble with atlantic equities in london. ready to go through security at the american airports. you have to get repaired. christopher: absolutely. i am taking an early morning flight. i don't want to take one in the middle of the day, i think it would be tricky. tom: let's look at the charts on union credit. the rightpplying medicine to find a bid on bankshares in europe? case ofher: in the deutsche bank, as we have discussed, it is a long haul. has talked about
5:15 am
sorting out the platform. tom: does he have two to three years to spend? christopher: i think he does. we are confronting a tougher market in terms of the continued problem with italian loans. tom: bring up the deutsche bank chart. deutsche bank underperforming down over the last six months or so. every conversation i have with economists is on the italian banks. why do we circle back to italian christopher: banking versus other nations? i think it is because if we look at the industry, there are fantastic banks in italy which have consolidated over the years. there is the legacy of italian
5:16 am
bankruptcy laws, how easy it is , thatlect bad debt gives investors fears. italian: i know the banks are big deal. we will speak with the italian finance minister. we heard from john cryan who probably has the toughest job in banking right now. he said deutsche bank is .ommitted to the markets how can he convince the markets it will not get uglier at deutsche bank? a difficult that is one. he is committed to the target unit because that is the dominant business and deutsche bank. unlike barclays which had a credit card business or swiss bank with a wealth manager, his domestic bank is challenge because domestic banking is not .rofitable he has commit to the markets business. this is about small victories to show that we are making progress in what is a long haul. francine: at the end of the day
5:17 am
he needs to make sure the markets believe there is space for this bank. other it be unfounded or not, this is the biggest fear for investors. it is a top six to seven kyl in equity trading. it makes for an important pile in the market. also the clue is in the name, deutsche bank. it is a major part of germany. that is important. tom: when i look at where we are in the balance between earnings, the income statement, revenue and non-revenue growth in expenses. what are they waiting for? in america we do this better. inyou see a cultural shift the operating officers of european banks to be more american-like? christopher: in germany you have problems with the labor laws. how quickly you can let people go and get them off of the payroll. i think you are right, there has not been the more aggressive
5:18 am
approach. the u.s. banks are pushing back on costs on the check of anemic revenue flows. it is not stopping. tom: if they do the cash call, can they do it? is out with a cash call to build their new car. say deutsche bank cannot raise money with five phone calls spirit of are they waiting for? christopher: it is more about getting the business in the right shape. starting to get earnings momentum. they have raised a lot of capital in five years. john cryan accusing the bank of hiding something, saying that is absurd. do investors believe it, do we believe in it, do you believe him? john is putting his reputation on the line. he has a great reputation as an investment banker and as the cfo. people are giving him a lot of
5:19 am
credit for that. how long that lasts, i'm not sure. the behalf of the president and the united states of america, i apologize for our security system at the airports. christopher: given what is going on today, i shouldn't be complaining. tom: yes. safe travels. atlantic equities and european banks. coming up, michael mckee in an important interview, more important after the minutes yesterday. jeffrey lacher of the richmond fed. this is bloomberg surveillance from london and new york. ♪

francine: that is the french foreign minister speaking at an impromptu news conference after meeting with the families of people on board. saying 56 people were on board. it is a fluid operation. we know there is a search and rescue operation under way. 16 of those on board were french citizens. it was 20 minutes before landing that we lost contact with the airplane. too early to speculate on the causes of what happened. at the moment, all we know is there is a huge rescue operation by air and navy. the egypt air airplane vanished
5:24 am
at 2:30 a.m. local time. tom: the search for knowledge and details. tell us what he is saying with your wonderful french. moment, he isthe saying, i'm trying to listen and , we need to verify. we are for extra information. we need to make sure the information is correct. i think, tom, where we have had high checks that did not turn out to be hijacks. -- wee had explosions need to remember the am-370 airplane vanished from malaysia, do not want tos do is to give an idea they need to retract. we have conflicting messages and a lot of conflicting reports. we need to keep an eye on it. when you look at this, it is difficult for the markets to have any idea of what to do with this. it is difficult to price in.
5:25 am
it is difficult coming off of the foc minutes. that is a shock coming to the market. you could argue that is hitting risk in emerging markets and when you have a shock like this they will play together. from that perspective, it is hard to ascertain where one stops and one begins. francine: stephen is right. it is difficult to price and is right.-- steven it is difficult to price and difficult to know how markets will react. i a lot of travel stocks are under pressure. 18.5% lower. they were already worried about .ither a tax, 2016 in general any kind of uncertainty regarding airplanes as do speculation adds to a little bit of a dampener on the stocks. tom: i would point out separate

from the egypt air tragedy, oil is south. most of that is in the short-term on dollar strength. we can touch on that with mr. saywell in a moment. francine: we continue with travel and leisure stocks. we will talk about security with the eurostar international ceo, nicolas petrovic. he has taken a lot of measures since we have had the geopolitical uncertain d. -- uncertainty. he will be coming up next in an exclusive interview 10 minutes from now. ♪

francine: egypt is deploying naval ships to search for the paris fromoute two cairo. we just heard a news conference
5:30 am
from the french foreign minister . he said he had just met with the families and relatives of the passengers. that it was too soon to say what happened. he said his first priority is to wait for reliable information regarding the aircraft. we know that there is a huge search and rescue operation under way. we have to tread carefully. let's get to the rest of the bloomberg first word news. here is nejra cehic. canada, residents who fled a town ravaged by wildfires will be allowed to return and a couple of weeks, probably. 80,000 people were evacuated from fort mcmurray. it cost the oil industry one million barrels a day of production. its forecast for the u.s. economy to grow 2%, down from 2.3%.
5:31 am
they blame a week first quarter. and they expect the fed to raise interest rates twice at most. forrates americans pay obamacare are going up. they want to raise the amount customers pay for individual health care plans by an average of 17%. the sticker shock it could cause problems for the law and its supporters. global news, 24-hours a day, powered by our 2400 journalists, in 150 news bureaus around the world. i am nejra cehic. francine: we are monitoring the egypt air flight that has gone missing. it vanished overnight. the managing of the firm international corporate protection and steven saywell. this situation is fluid and we have conflicting messages. after anormal so soon plane is lost or vanishes. >> in the circumstances you are right.
5:32 am
it is an anomaly. it is an unusual situation. there has been a lost connection by radar to the aircraft. come in many respects, vanished. there will be a lot of speculation. there are different and conflicting reports that will come out now as to what could have then the potential cause. there will be leaning toward aviation experts as to what their diagnosis is of the situation. bearing in mind that this light had been in transit for a time. only when it was coming into its last leg it disappeared. francine: we heard from the french foreign minister saying that he wants to wait until he has reliable information. been abreast of the situation, is there anything that points to terrorism, or is it too soon to say?
5:33 am
>> it is too soon to say. you are looking at different factories and components trying to assess what has gone wrong. france, whereom we know it is a focal point for international terrorism right now. what we have seen in the last year did draw attention's the two could there have been a terrorist plot? lean toward to aviation assessment given the flight was so far extended into its journey, and rarely will it have a technical instance. the approximation is 10% of flights will have an instant so far into its flight at cruising altitude. tom: that is where your expertise clicks and, 10%. air.s away from egypt in the united states we are having a massive uproar over the length of security lines at the airport. you mentioned charles de gaulle.
5:34 am
oure is a mystery when luggage disappears. you are the pro. tell us about the security of our luggage when it goes through and into thele airport -- whether it is heathrow, jfk, or charles de gaulle. >> i would not go into great detail for obvious reasons. one does not want to compromise existing security measures and toers of security used process the luggage, screening and scrutinizing it for trace elements are indicators that it could the malicious or conceal an ied. i think that in terms of the baggage processing and screening , it will vary from country to country. of the that in the wake attacks suffered, the level of security at charles de gaulle one would assume would be at the highest levels. if there was a terrorist connection, i would say that it
5:35 am
possibly, only possibly, it is speculation on my part, it could have come from an internal asset . someone who had access air side to bypass the screening process. tom: the differential between the security and mechanical security of major airlines versus those we would suggest are smaller, more regional, or other nations. it is a delicate issue. traipse over that. it is a major airport and will be leaning on a number of security measures. processes, that is to secure the integrity of its passengers and people passing through that hub. as we have seen with egypt air, there was an incident of a hijacking in march by an individual who hijacked a
5:36 am
egypt.e internally in it is indicative when one is traveling through an internal or domestic flight within smaller hubs, the security might not be at the same level of international ones. francine: our heart goes out to the families of those affected. any advice you would the global travelers? is one of the safest forms of transportation. in the current climate of international terrorism, most auntries will be adopting stringent security protocols and measures. in terms of the ratio of someone of a terrorist event by aviation delivery will be pretty small and relative senses. a delicate question, as it unfolded recently, will we wait
5:37 am
days, weeks, and months for a study and scientific analysis? or, do we get a press release them some organization if this is tragically terror? will: if it is a terrorism event, a lot of this information as to what were the causes and reasons for the airplane , and ultimately where it ended up will be down to search-and-rescue attempts which are being undertaken. the recovery of the data recorder and black boxes. ultimately, one has to because his at this time when information will come from a variety of sources that there could he terrorist organizations or groups that could claim responsibility. until one take that has good corroborating evidence to substantiate that. climates, thent fact many people rely on international transport, needrities will know they

5:42 am
we check all of their luggage, we check everyone who has access to the train, passengers -- we are working closely with the authorities in the countries where we operate. yes, i would say on the egypt disappearance -- we will have to wait to see what really .appened the first few hours, it is very sad. francine: we heard from the french foreign minister it is difficult to speculate. we need to make sure we have reliable information. attacks in, the france, it has been a tough moment for france and belgium. as it impacted your passenger numbers? it has. of course, you have the effect immediately after the attacks theireople postpone

travels. it rebounds quickly. in europe, they get used to the threat and make decisions. the attacks iser that a lot of people outside of europe, especially in southeast asia, are nervous to come to europe to enjoy the summer. we see an effect for which is more long-term, i think. tom: when you look at train and i can't, believe it is 20 years of the miracle of the eurostar and the tunnel, it is remarkable. tell me about the dynamic day-to-day of choice of plane versus trying. our job was really to focus on the market to explain what it was about. would you take the train?
5:44 am
the leisure of passengers came quickly. the toughest was business travelers, but we managed to get them on board i literally offering a service that was better than the airlines. now we have a high market share that is competitive, because the airlines in europe are very active. tom: do you aspire to take over amtrak on the east coast of the united states? pro for been a train years. i can tell you from experience moving london to paris, some of the challenges on the eastern seaboard -- what would be your advice to amtrak, new york to washington? nicolas: i'm not sure i would give advice. people there are good there. it seems to me from talking to a few of them in the past, there is a culture. there is a market of people who love a high-speed train or
5:45 am
something with a high level of service, but the tracks date back to 100 years ago. they need badly big investments. i would say it is more for the government to see what they can do. tom: north of new york city on the way to new haven, took theut, lafayette train tracks. he took the train tracks there with washington. they are that old. francine: we should get this show on the road and take nicholas with us. colas with us. how much do you worry about the brexit? nicolas: it is a worry for us. we have benefited from the eu regulations. it has helped our business, cut costs, and increased travel. phone, thes a brexit
5:46 am
question is the uncertainty and the effect on our biggest customers and on the consumers. we can see that people are nervous about spending at the moment. aancine: when you look at fax, the euro-dollar, we are talking about pound, the ceos have to deal with the long-term and short-term effects of fx on a basis. anything we see in terms of shocks will have an impact on the ceo worlds. we have discussed a lot of political uncertainty that is already in the price. stirling is very weak. euro sterling was recently trading close to .80. our model suggests it should be at a big discount. see polls to

signaling less of a political risk in the u.k., more in line with the u.k. remaining in the eu. things rallied on the back of that. more polls are important, at the moment and the underlying fundamentals of the u.k. economy. francine: does it have an impact on your business? how many tickets are bought on this side of the channel? 50/50? nicolas: no. we sell a lot in euros, but a lot in swiss dollars. the exchange rate is important. in a different way, commercially. in the pound is strong, u.k. consumers go to pairs and vice versa. for us commercially, we change our policy according to the fx rate. welcome.lity would be francine: very diplomatically said.

5:53 am
a rebound to zero point 89% on the two-year. you do not abide the progress of the june meeting. why? there: as i mentioned, are three push backs we would focus on. we think it is data dependent. we do not like the data. we do not know who was in the majority to prefer a june hike, dudley, and yellen, fischer. and the market, if that is doing the tightening for the fed, they may not need to do it. far more into commodity currencies, you are looking for aussie weakness. can you convince me they care about australian dollar
5:54 am
dynamics? steven: i'm not going to try to do that. a piece of information i would highlight is the way the fed looks at the dollar is different to how we look at it in markets. dollar yen or sterling, the big china, the.s. are eurozone, mexico, and canada. these are the ones the fed are focused on, china is the big one. francine: you do not believe a june rate hike, but if we see divergence earlier than expected , can they stomach a dollar rally? steven: we in the market will jump to what it means for , but the currencies are focused on, particularly china, is how the fed looks at it. china is not fully floating. francine: if it does hike what doesan expected, it mean? commodities in general will be

you look at the chart of their mandate. unemployment and inflation. unemployment has come down about as low as it is going to go. they think they have met that test. can they get the inflation rate a little bit closer to 2%? if we get some evidence of that by june 15, they're probably going to raise rates in june. the real question with jeff lacker, they said two participants noted that several of the benchmarks that policymakers used to figure out where rates should be implies the rate should be higher, imply higher values for the rate than it currently is. it does not say who those two are. we will ask jeff lacker. tom: izzie and over shooter -- is he an over shooter? is it a consensus opinion? not a consensus
6:15 am
opinion. it is not even the official policy, even though some in the markets think that is what the fed is trying to do. first they have to get the 2%, then they can worry about overshooting. thatlacker argues inflation is becoming a bigger danger than some others on the committee might think it is. we are starting to run out of slack in the economy. if you try to overshoot, you may go too far and it is a lot harder to stop and overshoot than it is to not do it in the first place. francine: i am looking for to be interview. there is also a danger of the dollar rallying. how much can the fed or how much does the fed want to cope with a strong dollar if we finally see the virgins playing out -- divergence playing out? michael: if you believe in a feedback loop, the fed can never raise rates because it will always have an impact in the markets. the judgment they have to make is how high will the dollar go
6:16 am
and what effect will that actually have on the u.s. economy? they noted in the minutes the dollar rose after they raised rates in december, but it did not have a lasting effect on the u.s. economy and it came back down again. tradersally, currency will tell you the dollar rises after a fed move and then it starts to fall back in the next six to eight months. we will see what they think about that. tom: michael mckee with jeff lacker at 8:30 this morning. also the thoughts of joe quinlan on u.s. trust. joe, it bunches up against the real economy. you are optimistic about america, but can you bring that optimism over coming out of a first-quarter malaise into a better 2016? >> i can. if you look at the shape of corporate america, improving global economic backdrop, i think our private sector's most resilient and competitive on earth bar none, including china. when you have a pullback in the market from the first quarter,

6:36 am
respectful conflict is the way you innovate. i think you want to encourage that. i think it is when a decision is made, you need people to get behind that decision. until then, you want debate. tom: you talk about the fictions of negotiations and discussions. you say negotiations are serial, not episodic. i was a just we have a presidential campaign right now that seems to be very episodic. we sort of stacker from moment to moment. how do we get a better discourse were we ever more polite conversation -- where we get to a more polite conversation? >> i think you see the trust levels are very low in the candidates. it is very difficult. innovative inner prices, young highesses tend to generate trust. when you get into political -- in the political realm, i think the trust levels go down. tom: that may be a good observation. joe quinlan, help me out.

6:42 am
disappeared. whereone of those issues the search and rescue operation is obviously in full swing. they will be using military assets for that. it seems very unlikely the aircraft was -- has gone anywhere other than into the ocean, sadly. francine: if that is the case, i guess in the next couple of hours, we have a news conference from egypt and then we again have this search and rescue team, we will see whether -- if there was a crash, if it was deliberate or mechanical failure. >> i think it will be very unlikely to get that sort of information at this stage because, clearly, they will he took firstly find any wreckage that is findable and then examine it. seriouslyserious -- technical problem they have to go through. they will start by trying to firstly, to find it, and secondly, to get a hold of the

6:44 am
something like a missile launch, if that is what you're suggesting, is open to some debate. of course, if it was that sort of system, you would be looking at surface launch, which would be one of the navies in the area. that is pretty unlikely given what people know about the tension in that particular part of the world. i think it is unlikely. it is more likely to be either a loss of control or a security -related problem. those are the two things that tend to bring airplanes down the fastest, and we know, of course, the weather in the area was reasonably benign. the weather we have reported from bloomberg news, and all use this carefully and officially, cloudless. when you look at the integrity of our airports, what is your

rating on heathrow and de gaulle and jfk? hubs, inf the major fact, all of the major hubs, are very well protected security-wise. there may be issues when you go to some of the less well-developed airports around the world, in areas where the local security situation is less helpful than it may be in new york, london, or paris. having said that, of course, one of the ways around security systems is to have somebody on the inside. and i'm sure the authorities in paris will be looking at that sort of mechanism, if it does turn out to be security-related. francine: thank you for joining us today, coo of the u.k. flight safety committee of travel. we're just getting news from the u.k. prime ministers office. they have just been speaking to reporters. this is their morning briefing. he expressed the government's concern about the incident and said the u.k. is working with the authorities involved.

francine: yes, tom, and it is important, just remind everyone, we don't know the cause of what happened. we do not know what happened to the plane. it is not been identified. we can report with certainty these midair emergencies are rare, especially for a relatively new plane. if you look at the track record, there has not been anything substantially wrong and this was a plane from 2003. tom: the most important interview this morning, francine, he said for a plane to disappear this late in the flight, he would describe a 10% likelihood to it. so this is a very rare event. it is usually at the beginning of airplane flights. francine: it is. we have been -- again, this is very early days. what, 10 hours into this.
