we wrap up the moves and unforgettable second quarter. this is bloomberg surveillance. i'm francine lacqua with tom keene in new york. i would suggest the markets want direction. politicians in this country just want direction. the european union is looking for a little bit of leadership. tom: i like what you did there with the end of the quarter. i do not realize that there is a republican convention in 18 days in cleveland. i do agree with you, we have almost lost track where we are in every institution. maybe we will have some clarity. francine: mario draghi has not lost direction. yes to look at inflation. -- he has to look at inflation. what central at banks need to deal with, maybe it is a little bit of the beginning that we are starting to see green. this is pre-brexit. first let's get the bloomberg
5:02 am
first word news with nejra cehic. nejra: in the u.k., conservative candidates are making their pitches today to succeed david cameron at the party's leader. the next prime minister, you're seeing live pix of theresa may, one of the candidates. according to a poll, theresa may is the favorite among party members. 55% tods boris johnson, 38%. may is speaking live now. you can see her there. johnson will try to build on his success as the leader of the leave campaign. he will argue that britain has a bright future outside of the eu. former defense secretary, liam fox, is also in the running. george soros says the uk's decision to leave the eu has unleashed a crisis in the financial market. he told the european parliament it is similar to the global financial crisis that began in
5:03 am
2007. he says at the time he was invited to speak to lawmakers, the refugee crisis was the biggest problem you're faced. he said that brexit maybe worse. the attack on the symbols airport has hit turkey's tourism industry. the suicide bombing killed 41 people and wounded more than 200 could turkey blames islamic state. the attacks are likely to hurt tourism, and industry that employs the turkish workforce. fed has cleared the way for dozens of u.s. banks to boost shareholder payouts come all but two of 33 banks passed the annual stress test. the two banks that slumped with the u.s. unit and deutsche bank. deutsche bank has failed to years in a row. global news, 24 hours a day, powered by 2600 journalists in more than 120 countries. i am nejra cehic. this is bloomberg.
5:04 am
tom: take you so much. let's get to the data check. later and sirh us howard to join us here in a minute. futures up one. the yield up 1.35%. it is a goofy risk on. recalibrate the dow, 18,000. gold futures, 1321 showing a good feeling, negative six. as a go to the bank stocks, it is interesting to see the new lows tested. francine: i really like how you put that. goofy risk on. they're looking for direction, change as investors -- i wanted to show the banks and their, down 1.2%. mark carney addresses the financial industry in london later. we'll have to look at pound. tom: over to this chart, which i
5:05 am
am breaking a lot of rules on. i do not like multiple line charts. this is an ugly four-line chart. it tells the story of different kind of banking. jpmorgan here normalized up from the beginning of the crisis does really well. it comes on. here is a stodgy french bank, bnp parabolic may be known for what they did not do way of performing the swiss bank. ubs in red. deutsche bank, john cryan running deutsche bank right now. it is not only u.s. banking versus european banking but a real theme today is the new wants of the european banking come all of them under great stress. francine: we will get to banking in a second p it it ties with inflation and it ties with yield. this is a nerdy. the blue line is the cost to protect against u.k. inflation.
5:06 am
it's exceeded 2% in one year at 100 for basis points, that is the highest point since 2014. brexit is stoking risks on u.k. inflation banks. we can talk politics, the need for stability. speakingay still saying she wants to be prime minister of this country. there she is, the home secretary laying out a plan. how she would renegotiate with the eu. joining us, we are pleased to , theme howard davies chairman of the royal bank of scotland. great to have you on this ominous day. overall, what are you looking for for for statue -- looking for for financial stability? howard: the bank of england was well prepared. in fact, markets have functioned effectively.
5:07 am
, ire not anything like 2008 don't buy that george soros lied about that because there has not been times there were no crisis for assets. technically, i think things that worked pretty well. there is obviously quite a bit of repressing going on. if you look at -- repricing going on. even look at the forecast for the u.k., it has fallen by half point. that may or may not turn out to be right, but clearly people are trying to factor that in and say who are the losers and the winners. the banks that play on the u.k. economy. i think you got to try and see through the typography's very short-term changes and say what has changed? probably it is true that the exchange rate has changed. it is hard to tell us of the story as to why sterling should bounce back to where it was the
5:08 am
four brexit. that is having a medium-term affect. that is an enduring change you to some of the others -- francine: does the falling of the pound suggest a new british power -- the fall of the british power? howard: i don't like to think of exchange rates as symbols. different tend to talk in that way. just the french tended to talking that way. talked innch have that way. for the moment, i think the u.k. looks like a higher piece of stock at the moment. you will see until we settled down, you are seeing that priced in. morning.howard, good do the politicians of the united
5:09 am
kingdom have to move faster echo does labor have time to wait for labor day? for october? or do they have to get things done quickly? -- howard: itable don't think it is possible to think that you could have a fully worked out negotiating strategy within a week or so, when the prime minister clearly was expecting to win the referendum. what you're hearing from the european side is they want us to get on with it but i also think you're hearing a couple of months to prepare what we are pitching for in renegotiating should ship with european union is reasonable. the conservative party was right to bring forward their election so it will be september 2, we will have a new leader. new work being done under the government to try and produce and negotiating brief will the
5:10 am
tail into that. there will have to be some quick decisions made. my sense from talking to others in continental europe as they are prepared to give us that much time. tom: we have had a strain of , dovetailed -- would everybody calmed down decoratively calm down, we can move forward whether the united kingdom or the rest of us. when we hear inflammatory comments like alan greenspan saying scotland will remove itself of the union, how should george sorosd to or alan greenspan and others looking for bigger drama? how should london respond? howard: if you are in a position of response ability, either in government or running or overseeing big institution, it is wise not to speculate on the bad things that could happen.
5:11 am
it is wise to focus on making sure your own institution is sound. of course that is what i tend to do. i think some of these noises are rather unhealthy. on the other hand, just to shout don't panic is not likely to be hopeful when the reality is some things have changed. what we have tried to distinguish is those things that are just noise and those things which are likely to produce a more enduring change which you have to adapt to, because if you say we don't believe anything is changed, people are going to say what kind of planet are you living on? it is about steering a course between the two things. it is quite delicate. i tried to focus on what do i think what is likely to be in during? and what do i think is noise i have to get my head down? francine: we love what you do so howard davis. -- sir howard davies.

5:14 am
francine: this is bloomberg surveillance. tom keene in new york. let's get straight to the bloomberg business flash. nejra: the biggest deal ever and the beer industry is one step closer to being completed. regulators and south africa have approved ab inbev's 104 billion takeover of sabmiller.
5:15 am
there are some conditions. they still have to sell their stakes in a south african beer company. and big insurance deal will go through. the justice department has told anthem that it's takeover of cigna threatens competition. general motors market share in the u.s. has fallen to a more than three decade low. gm has a 17% share of the domestic sales. executives say because the company is selling fewer vehicles. francine: we have seen banks under pressure. brexit puts the spotlight on a weak spot. with us is sir howard davies. sir howard, thank you for sticking around. banks such expecting as rbs to operate in this uncertainty? saying if investors are
5:16 am
focusing on weak spots, i will contested that. i don't think the british banks are weak in the sense of being fully capitalized. there may be some other -- the fact that we have had a pretty tough regulator over the last few years insisting on higher capital ratios than typically the case elsewhere is probably something which is in good stead. when i look at the capital positions including my own, i am not so anxious about it. the key thing is we are heavily influence by the u.k. economy. if the u.k. economy goes down, then demand will go down and nonperforming loans will go up. it is not a lot you can do about it. to hunker down and help you make good decisions, manage your risks effectively through a turbulent period.
5:17 am
the downgrading of all u.k. banks -- i suppose i am paid to say that. [laughter] been.hink it has i'm not sure that the recession bad.kely to be that the rest of the stock market is not telling you that. maybe you are a part of the selloff and financial banks, shares in general. in terms of politicians, does that help you steer what rbs may become in the next couple of years? howard: the bank of england and predatory authorities have been helpful. they have stuck to their knitting. they have done it effectively. the bank is good at managing its way through markets. in the case of rbs, we have made the decision that we were going to be a u.k. focused retailing commercial bank.
5:18 am
some of the issues about the status of capital markets in art significantly less important to banks like us. that is a big thing for them. will they continue to be up to use the passport into the rest of the single market? a bigger risk for them than for us. tom: part of your lovely charm is your understanding of macro .conomics what is italy going to do about their banks? i look at the price action and deutsche bank, it is nothing compared to the italian banks. i know you're not going to badmouth the italian banks. what you foresee as the process for the italian government to bail out that industry? howard: it is clear they need more capital. the problem is now, the fact in europe we have compulsory bailey
5:19 am
and if you have a resolution -- compulsory bail in if you have a resolution. -- people think there is a possibility of a resolution. capital will have to be found almost certainly through some state entity. brussels will have to think hard evocations ofe that and whether they are going to allow that. eventually it will get done. tom: will you please explain to our audience the rationalization of banks and equity share price does not matter. -- you cannot tell me that are lower equity share price does not matter to solvency and liquidity. at some point, that >> into confidence, doesn't it? some point yet yet as
5:20 am
yourself what situation you are in and whether you on the edge of needing capital. you raise rightly is closer to the wire because if you're in a situation where it looks like you do that need more equity capital. that is different from situation where you do not have any plans to issue any equity capital anyway, see you can afford to wait a while and maybe the consequences will not be serious. once the market turmoil is over, so i think it depends on the eminence of your need for new equity capital. on the whole, there is talk in the market that u.k. banks need new equity capital. happen we dothis not like it but we do not have to panic. tom: well said.

5:25 am
jobs could shift. let's get back to our guest host. sir howard davies of rbs. what does that mean? howard: the city would be affected. among the banks there been some contingency work done and we have had discussions. it is clear what we will like to see -- what we would like to see. we will like to see as much of the past porting preserved. access to school staff all over europe is important. the banks have a clear view about what we would like to see happen. the question is can we get fed that into the british negotiating -- is it negotiable? we are able to say the financial markets in london are a european asset. the risk is if you dislodge all of that, the winners will not be

5:32 am
we need to start with the italian banks. how frail are they? bob: i think the action by the italian regulators tells you they are somewhat frail and it is unclear whether they were just stepping in with the uncertainty over brexit and some of the volatility that would result, and say there is back stop funding in place in case investors got worried about reserves. we think it was a prudent step because after all, looking at investing in european debt, debt is about winnable so providing a backstop make sense. tom: give me an update on the tone on the jpmorgan desk. john morgan is over there and other people. we have a chronic reality of negative rate wrapped around a binding banking crisis -- buddi ng banking crisis. what is the effect of these ever
5:33 am
negative rates on the financial system? bob: it is concerning do earnings because as rates go lower and lower and there is more talk about the central bank stepping in and cutting rates again, whether it is the ecb doing 10 basis points, we will hear later for mark carney what the plans are for the mpc and bank of england. as they bring rates down that puts pressure on the interest margins so there is a realistic problem in the banking system in terms of trying to generate revenue from that interest margin. i think grexit in and of itself -- brexit in and of itself has created a lot of confusion and you heard it from your earlier guest who is essentially the rockstar of u.k. banking. we have just had moody's come out and downgrade u.k. banking -- tom: i have got to interrupt.
5:34 am
jamie dimon is the rockstar of u.k. banking. francine, go to bob. , weuld strongly recommend are at the end of the corner -- quarter and what is floating is qe4. francine: we have been so caught up in all the events and we need to take a pause and think of the quarter that we have just had. incall it unforgettable look terms of what we have seen in yen strength and oil. brexit, this is almost a new beginning. what happens to the markets from now? howard: there is a lot of uncertainty and we were talking about that this morning. it looks to us that you have about two and a half years minimum uncertainty ahead. you need a leader of the conservatives. it is unlikely that they will 50m a plan and trigger
5:35 am
before the end of the year, and then you have two years from that point to negotiate the two in the eu and u.k. the markets do not like the uncertainty. everything that you hear about the potentiality of rex it is disinflation -- of brexit is disinflation area -- disinflationary. tom: tell me about the short-term paper market. what have you observed in the last number of days, particularly about confidence in the short term paper market? bob: confidence is still very high. when we look at the curve and we ty of about the potentiali the mpc to step in and cut rate, it does not feel as though the
5:36 am
front and of the market is pricing that in. because of that we like the front and of the u.k. market quite a bit. what we are seeing certainly in there is ats is flattening of the curve going on which historically has been a good lead indicator of recession coming. francine: i'm trying to get some yields up because italy's selves five -- cells five year yield at a low. have helicopter money to try and do something about world growth? it is not crazy that yields are going lower because the central banks are proactively printing on a. -- money. francine: but we do not have it in the textbook. howard: i think the textbook is being written as we speak. i think we can try and guess how it ends but in the meantime you have to look at the weight of
5:37 am
cash that is coming into the market that is taking yields negative. you have to look at what is going on in japan where you pretty much have to go into the super long end of the market to find anything with a positive yield so consequently money is being exported into the u.s. and european markets from japan. until the money printing stops or we siege -- or we see a growth in inflationary pressure you are going to see the rates go lower. tom: there is the banner of italian debt at a record low yield. ,veryone in our audience whatever their sophistication is looking at the fiscal position of a given country and where yields are in saying this is the mother of great distortions. how does it unwind? there are two components of sovereign debt and everyone is
5:38 am
looking at the credit quality of italy. there is concern about the banking system and saying, how could somebody of that credit quality issue at these levels? then there's the interest rate component of government debt and the proactive policy of the ecb is to print money and bring they createlower so debt sustainability for a lot of these countries, specifically the peripheral european countries. create some able to stability in the economy so it could last for a very long time. hour, theus this rockstar of asset management of fixed income, robert michelle. john chambers will join us, and important time to speak to mr. chambers. cisco stock has really held up.

of the u.s. banks, we know there is no systemic risk? bob: the u.s. banks did do really well and after years of taking out cost and cutting capital, they can withstand some pretty severe stress tests so from a credit quality perspective, they look attractive to us. how the global economy plays out in the wake of brexit remains to be seen and what that does to loan demand and potential write-downs also remains to be seen. francine: in terms of what we are expectg from u.s. banks, it is just how much they are giving back to shareholders and we wait for earnings? michael: you probably do not listen to anything but bloomberg " but there is a radio show in the u.s.

5:51 am
economic challenges, in a world that is changing rapidly. concretelyive me what a brexit means for cisco. all you u.k. jobs to france? , obviously we would preferred that the exit not take place but this is the new world. changes will take place all the time. i used to think agility was a marketing term and it is really what every company and country has to change. as everybody goes digital, the job creation will be in those countries that we make those changes rapidly. unfortunately the changes we are seeing geopolitically are the norm. we are deeply committed to the u.k., deeply committed to france. i said france would be the next big thing a year-and-a-half ago and it turned out to be accurate

5:53 am
if you are to look and france, startups did not have much to or three years ago. -- two or three years ago. when i look at europe i think they are ahead of the u.s. with their government thinking about how do they leverage this next generation of the internet, similar to what president clinton did. 22 and a half million jobs, gdp growth 18% in income. tom: as you mentioned, you are from the other party. can you support mr. trump? could you go to the convention in cleveland? hank paulson says he is not going. , i have a tremendous amount of respect for and he is a very good friend. i am going to support the candidate who can outline the

5:55 am
kingdom, how does that fold into bond market lethargy? bob: number one, there is uncertainty about what leadership will look like going into 2017, whether you are in the u.k. which i think has a lot more problems than what you are saying out of the u.s. where you are going to have two candidates. very clearly that can go at the issues. i think the other issue that is more important coming out of the u.s. is what each candidate's fiscal policy will look like. if you think of the pre-brexit world, there was a feeling that central banks had reached terminal velocity on the things they could do to stimulate the economy. there seemed to be some second-guessing going on among central bankers on whether they should go further into negative territory, whether they should be printing more money and expanding qe. francine: is the biggest danger

both nobel laureates in different years tell me equity and debt does not matter. there is the european stocks index, heading down to new lows. -- explain explained why equity share declines should avoided. deutsche bank is going down and share price as is unicredit. what does that signal to governments and regulators? brad: they do not meet their cost of capital. when we think back in 2009, what ?id we expect regulatory change and back to normal then we realized regulatory change was going to continue in the meantime. then we had an economy that has been very slow recovering on the banks have not been able to come to grips with that.
6:07 am
none of these banks have been able to beat their costs of capital. even when you look at goldman or jpm it is only intermittently. the market keeps discounting further and further. ken lay through mergers and acquisitions in combination become more anglo-saxon like? what you are asking me, other european banks doomed. they are not. deutsche bank is not going away, ubs is not going away but we do not have repricing going on and the marketplace. if you get to risk taking and trading, how do you provide liquidity? pricing has to increase so we have this war of attrition. tom: the solution is always weaker currency. that is the gross economic solution to the challenges of

amongst the banks or letting some of them go? brad: we need action in the sense of management teams making some changes in acquisition. i am not sure the central banks will allow the larger banks to do more acquisitions but let's recognize that banks have been hanging onto businesses that are not performing well. the capital markets business has not been performing well and they are trying to do some, they want high return investment banking businesses to do well and stay, and low return trading businesses to shrink. that is fine except all these businesses are tied together. , which i guess makes sense on a chalkboard has not worked out well and that led to where we are today with all these banks hanging onto businesses performing badly, hoping it will get better. from the point of view of an
