mary barra spoke with david westin. infancy ofe at the putting technology and applications and services into the vehicle that will improve customer's lives. i think that is a huge area to grow, but china is another area. even though china is more volatile than it has been, we still see tremendous growth between now and 2020. we have over 60 new models coming between now and then. we think for a typical emerging-market it will be a little more volatile, but we see tremendous growth opportunity there. david: can you in the future get the margins up in china? mary: are margins are already 9-10%. it is a joint venture and we do sell a different product mix. i'm proud of the margins. one of the casings continuing to maintain those margins as the market continues to grow more
10:10 am
volatile and we intend to do that. of the 60 new models that we will have between now and 2020, 40% of them will be suvs. that is a more profitable vehicle and something that consumers are really moving to. david: midsize trucks have increasingly become important, generally on the probability side. how far cannot go? mary: everyone says it is a dying and shrinking segment, but we put a capable product not only with the chevrolet colorado but the gmc canyon and we have seen the market response. you tell me what gas prices are going to be in one year or five years, but we now have a very capable product that for most people, even if it is part of their work life or they just like driving pickup trucks, we have an outstanding vehicle or truck for them. i think it's an important part of the portfolio and will be for a very long time. david: you raised it -- oil prices, gasoline prices.
10:11 am
as you make your projections about a vehicle such as the canyon or the colorado, how sensitive are they to the price of gas? mary: what we look at is we want to make sure that the segment that it is the most fuel-efficient. we understand with regulatory concerns and being responsible from an environmental perspective, we are also making investment in electrification and even fuel cells. you cannot make decisions based on what oil prices are today when you look at a product cadence that is 3-4 years and with some technologies even longer. we are working what is most efficient from a fuel and omissions perspective crossing a full range of portfolios. david: almost from the day that you step into the job as ceo, you said one of your goals was the change in culture at general motors. what parts of the culture did you need to leave behind and which ones did you want to hold onto? mary: when i talked culture, i talk about it as behaviors.
10:12 am
i cannot come in today and sam going to work on this part of the culture, but what it can do right now is change the way out ahead. i behave. top 300 leaders from around the globe together and ask what are the most and port and behaviors to move it forward -- important behaviors to move it forward? it was about transparency, being candid, owning each other's problems, and creating a to let was desired to win. -- relentless desire to win. we all agreed that we were going to use those behaviors. if illenge everyone to say was doing something inconsistent, call me out. it has permeated through the organization very quickly. the other thing that people do not realize about the company is that in the last one of four months, 25% of all employees have only been here 24 months. 25% of all your employees have only been here 24 months? mary: correct.
10:13 am
general motors is new and the people that are joining the company and they are bringing challenging and i think a new spirit as well as the work that we are driving the people like myself who have been here over 30 years. that is what we are driving -- a can-do attitude. let's holder sells accountable and do what we say we are going to do. to work together because of my scorecard is green and yours isn't, it doesn't really matter. it's about the customer and what we are doing to make sure that the customer takes us when they have a very competitive landscape to choose from. that is what we're focused on. another area that we are working on hi is speed. if we have the right technology but we are not the first to market, we don't win. how do we do that quickly? those of the areas we are focused on. mark: that was our extensive interview with the gm chief executive mary barra. we will have much more from her and other top executives

london andfrom west new york, i mark barton. vonnie: i am vonnie quinn and you are watching "bloomberg markets." time for the bloomberg business flash now. the euro disney group has been acquitted of discrimination charges. the association that filed the original complaint said that a 2006 job ad for the paris theme
10:17 am
park was intentionally designed to exclude applicants from africa and turkey. euro disney admits the word was clumsy but denies discriminatory intent. toldas ceo stefan larson stores to eliminate three layers of management and/jobs as part of the ways for plan. the cost may be as high as $400 million. u.s. workers was not as severe as first bought. productivity declined at an annual rate of 6/10 of 1%. there was also a 1.7% drop in fourth-quarter. that is our latest bloomberg business flash. let's head to the markets desk now where julie hyman has been looking at biotech shares. julie: biotech and health care are very active today. we were talking about that
10:18 am
cancer doctor meeting over the weekend, but we have moved on from that to a number of different individual company events. repta getting a notice from the fda for more data on its treatment for duchenne muscular dystrophy. this a spark speculation that because the fda is asking for more information that it may mean and approval for this medication is on the way. those shares surging by 20%. shares are going in the opposite direction as the drug is for a rare neuromuscular disease failed to meet its goal in the final stage trial. this drug has already been approved in the u.s. to treat two other diseases. it generated $2.5 billion in sales for the company last year. anotherre approved for use, that would obviously begin news for the company, but it looks like the study is not 20 and that direction. shares down by 12%.
10:19 am
we have a deal in the health care industry, not biotech, but an artificial joints. it is down by about 2%. the company an makes replacement hips and knees and agrees to buy lg h for about $1 billion. the picture, but those shares are searching by that amount today. mark: thanks very much indeed. as you just mentioned, we're going to have more on valeant. can its new chief executive stabilize the embattled drugmaker? that story next. and we are to have more exclusive interviews from gm talk executives throughout the day. we just heard from mary barra. and how they will address the company's position in the event of an economic downturn. >> we are maintaining a

10:21 am
10:22 am
mark: you are watching "bloomberg markets." i am mark barton in london. vonnie: i am vonnie quinn in new york. shares of valeant are plunging after the embattled drugmaker cut its 2016 earnings and sales forecast. on a conference call this morning, the new ceo aimed to reinsert investors that he could stabilize the company. she listened into the call and has the latest. is it that long to change operations of the company? how has he fared in the few weeks that he has taken over? >> investors had a lot of hope
10:23 am
that he would give more in terms of detail and transparency than what we're used to. he said they would stick to the adjusted numbers, which really play into valeant giving numbers with their own taking things out and adding things where they see fit. that is one of the things that i think investors want more clarity on -- the accounting and numbers of what exactly they are looking at and where guidance is going. that is one of the things that rattled investors during the call. their specific product news in terms of how the top-selling drug is doing and how the dermatology business is doing. that really disappointed and he really now has to prove that he can turn that around. vonnie: on that note, he has been meeting with walgreens next week. they have been disappointed with how the walgreens relationship has gone. are they trying to rectify that now? cynthia: it came at a time of the needed to fix their distribution model and they are doing something brand-new for the industry. to be fair to them, no one knew
10:24 am
how this would work out to begin with. there was a lot of hope that walgreens would fill the gap where the specialty pharmacy was helping with sales. what he said today is that there are products going to the walgreens channel that are not achieving. they are losing money on them basically. what he has to do now is stem that and figure out why it is happening. he talked a little bit about the details as to why, but the primary goal for him now is to not lose money on the walgreens management because that is the bulk of their distribution. mark: what can he do to put a floor under the share price? it is down by 90% since last august. cynthia: it is going to take a bit of time. some things that were talked about like noncore asset sales really need to happen soon. they talked about them being in compliance with the companies that govern their debt. of the concern now is that these numbers are little close. are we running a little close in to that area where we might have trouble financially from a debt perspective?
10:25 am
that is a huge concern and the real problem here -- whether or not they are going to be able to maintain the covenants in compliance there. if they were able to sell bigger pieces of debt, investors would feel a lot more relieved at this point. mark: is there a sense that he has achieved much in the month that he has been in charge? cynthia: to be fair, it has only been a month. he says he has been in congress, which is interesting because valeant did not have enough government relations. pressinged some programs for drugs that were controversial because they jacked up the prices so much. that is one thing that they did. he said he is getting his head around the business. to be fair to him, it's a lot to do in 30 days. analysts for years have had trouble making sense of the numbers. do now is thato he says he is going to stabilize the company in the next three have in six months. we basically need to see the next earnings to see if he
10:26 am
will be able to right the ship. that is one we will be able to note that the share price is going to stay put and maybe turn around. mark: cynthia, thanks for joining us. shares of valiant getting hammered today, down by 19%. stocks surging as fed chair janet yellen reassures investors. vonnie: a quick look at how stocks are trading after that reassurance, you could say. the dow jones industrial average of 33 points. s&p 500 up a quarter of a percent and the nasdaq relatively unchanged. ♪ okay, ready?

10:32 am
with her remarks yesterday, she pointed to lingering uncertainties that could take several months to resolve potential. joining us now from boston is david joy. thanks for joining us. did you think it was a dovish fed president or do you think we could get a fed rate hike in the next couple of months? david: it was very dovish and i think the fed was surprised and may be somewhat disappointed at the jobs number. the impression that i got from reading the speech was that yellen is really acting off -- backing off and making the point that there are enough uncertainties that certainly the june meeting is more or less going to be a nonevent. i think july would be too soon to resolve any lingering concerns. maybe now september is live, but a very different picture than before the jobs report. vonnie: that is interesting because up until then, you had
10:33 am
said there was going to be a rate increase in july. how does that make you change the way you are looking at the stock market? david: the one area that i think is going to be a little under pressure as a result is going to be the banking sector. it's an area of the market that we actually like from a valuation point of view. impression that a steepening yield curve will improve the benefit of the net interest margin. that is probably less likely than before. the yield curve is very flat now around 94 basis points. that will not be much help at all to i am less excited about financials. the fact that the dollar has weakened has given life led to the materials sector. there are some real winners out there as a result of this report. mark: how excited are you by uk stocks on absolute and relative basis?
10:34 am
i have a chart that you will not be able to see, but i will paint the picture. it essentially shows how the ftse all share index is trading on a valuation basis relative to the msci all country world index. as you will know, u.k. stocks have proven remarkably resilient ahead of the referendum in 16 days time. how are you case stocks looking? are they overpriced? evere risk of a brexit going to be priced into the zika u.k. stocks? david: we have been under waiting the u.k. because of the brexit risk. i was just looking at that same chart yesterday. there seems to be a general consensus of complacency that the vote is going to be to stay. that is the impression that i get. i know maybe some in the options market say there is a little more concern. we have kind of avoided the
10:35 am
market and let it sort out. there are enough opportunities elsewhere. you might get a nice bounce that the vote is to stay, but on the other hand, i think the risk is there and sufficient enough to cause us to more or less stay on the sideline. mark: the other big event tomorrow is the start of the ecb's corporate bond buying program. yields on european corporate debt denominated in euros below 1%, which is causing many conservative managers to flee to high-yielding assets for returns. what is the end game here? is the worryorry about the unintended consequences of negative interest rates. what is the endgame here? david: i think if you are a central banker, you're still convinced that negative interest rates are a valuable and powerful tool.
10:36 am
on the other hand, if you are an , you areor a saver experiencing the downside impact of that. i think rates are headed even lower. there was a report just this past week that $10 trillion of sovereign debt now trading negative worldwide. 14 countries now have negative yields, somewhere approaching $400 billion of corporate debt now below 0%. that will only continue i think because the ecb has only so many places it can go. i think you're going to see low rates for longer than what was ever anticipated. i would expect the ecb to extend their program be on march when it is due to expire. i do not think they have won the battle that early. i think rates are going lower. vonnie: what about emerging markets? it seems the corollary is that the rally might continue. right andt's
10:37 am
you have seen a nice bounce when it relates to commodities. very importantly, the weakness in the dollar is taking pressure off china and its currency. that is having a nice spillover affect throughout the rest of the e.m. world. i'm not convinced that commodities are off to the race because we do not have enough growth. i think e.m. and the pacific rim will benefit from the pressure taken off of china. i would say have some exposure but tilted towards asia. , thank david joy you. coming up on "bloomberg markets," clinton versus trump. he will be the next u.s. president and what will it mean for the american economy? >> we are repudiating donald trump. we are getting ready for the fall election. we are going to defeat him. if you will vote for me, i will work for you. ♪

10:45 am
limited downside. he says the downside is protected by low valuation. in order for the stock to trade sharply higher, he believes the company will have to have outstanding services growth or a new product. we took a look at the one-year chart and we see this range that he is talking about over the last year. the stock has been stuck in a range of uncertainty between buyers and sellers. shares are probably headed toward the top of the range, near 108 or so. the question is how will this range break? to the upside, it will produce record lows. it to the downside, which happened briefly weeks ago, it could take the stock sharply lower. it is only time that will tell. vonnie: thank you. moving to u.s. politics now -- hillary clinton is the presumptive democratic nominee according to the associated press. bernie sanders is not giving up with six primaries today,
10:46 am
including a close battle in caledonia. california. while a loss will not change the outcome, it could put a drag on efforts to unify the democratic party. joining us now is matthew winkler, bloomberg editor in chief emeritus. a wonderful piece out today explaining the importance of california in terms of the overall u.s. economy. is that why hillary clinton has been there for the last week? it seems like she has it tied up. matthew: california is without question the most important state in the country. it is the seventh largest country in the world as measured by gdp. that gives you an idea of its scope. anyone who is going to do well in the presidential contest has to think about california. she has pretty much got it locked up as the presumptive nominee. it's a democratic state. the governor, who is a four-time governor and the longest-serving
10:47 am
governor, brown has endorsed her. as goes california will probably go the election. vonnie: it is pretty well-known known that the dnc does not intend to spend much money, yet bernie sanders is also taking his show on the road there. he wants a lot of attention in california. matthew: not necessarily a bad thing. it's a democratic state as i said. whether sanders pulls and upset or clinton prevails as the polls say she probably will, it does not really matter. she is going to get the nomination. she is going to lead california into the november election. she is going to be leading the state that is leading the nation in every respect. mark: what makes california great? in your wonderful article, you related to globalization, urbanization, and climate change. how is it taking all the boxes when it comes to those three things?
10:48 am
when it comes to those three challenges, california as a country's leading everyone else in the world on climate change and tackling global warming. it is also simultaneously an economy that is more dynamic and more diverse than any other certainly in the u.s. and arguably may be in the worl. it produces more than 50% of technology revenues in the united states. it is number one and agriculture by far. in terms of job creation, california is generating more jobs than both florida and texas combined. you can see it is a real dynamo. that is not going to change anytime soon. mark: we just heard from house speaker paul ryan. he has rebuked donald trump for his "completely unacceptable" remarks about a judge aced on his ethnicity. he does says he will continue to support him as the republican presidential nominee.
10:49 am
lose trump further support? matthew: unquestionably. if we just come back to california, it is a state with almost 40 million people. it is the most diverse state. diversity has actually been a strength, and economic strength, a business strength. anyone who is attacking diversity in america is taking a wrong tack politically. vonnie: i left how you compare it with texas as well. that is on bloomberg view today. that is our editor in chief emeritus. if you have not planned your summer vacation yet, how about a cozy camp in the adirondacks? and inside look at of 1000 acre property where you can vacation with 20 of your favorite friends or family. the price -- you will just have to stick around for that. ♪
