the first word headlines with mark. mark: the favorite to be written's next prime minister says there is no going back on the european union vote. "brexit meansid brexit" and we are going to make a success of it. she will make no attempt to stay inside the european union. it may be a sign that bernie is about to endorse hillary clinton. sanders will campaign with the likely nominee tomorrow in new hampshire. last week he made his most pro-clinton comments to date. he said "we've got to defeat donald trump and elect clinton." the longshot attempt to stop mr. trump from becoming the presidential nominee is in the final days. antitrust forces want to allow delegates pledged to trump to vote any way they want on the first al it.

-- first ballot. we are learning new details about the standoff between police and the suspect in the ambush style attacks on dallas officers. micah johnson taunted officers during negotiations, even singing. at one point he asked how many he had shot. johnson's parents say they are surprised and say he returned from an army deployment to afghanistan a changed man. five officers were killed during the attack. global news 24 hours a day powered by 2600 journalists and analysts in 120 countries. i am mark crumpton. >> returning now to u.k. politics. the british pound is rising. as britain moves a step closer to securing a successor to prime minister david cameron. leaving theresa may as the sole candidate.

glare of what it means to be prime minister. that is not to say i would rule are out because some people say she would play a role in the cabinet and some people say she might be a dark force to be -- a dark horse to be secretary. what do we know about what happens next? >> we are going to see the theater of british constitutional parliament. david cameron came out of downing street and said he would take his last questions in the house of commons on wednesday and then he would go to meet the queen. she will fly down to london tomorrow. >> that is holding it up? >> that plays into this. oneron will meet the queen wednesday, he will tender his resignation, and the queen will invite theresa may to buckingham palace so she can ask her to

form a government. most influential female politicians in government over the past few years, what do we know about her economic policy? >> not that much. theresa may is obviously very well known on domestic and immigration policies but she did keep -- she has kept her counsel when it comes to economic matters. light.ek has shed some one of the most interesting things she said was essentially saying that she was going to abolish the fiscal rules that george had in place over the last six years. it is no longer her goal to remain in the surplus by 2020. the sameborne said thing so that raised some eyebrows that there was some coordination. this morning, she gave a speech

in birmingham where she laid out corporate responsibility, how she will hold people to account. the pharmaceutical industry, which she regards as a strategic hand -- we are seeing her more and more about where she stands on the economy. >> we are waiting for her to speak again later this evening. it appears she is not going to have to go through the steps of making her case area does that differ less of a mandate? >> she is going to have a snap election. the parties have come out and that sheeople will say lacks the legitimacy of prime minister's -- or at least doesn't have the mandate to go to brussels. there will be no snap election. >> things change quickly in the u.k.. john freire of bloomberg news. still ahead, how political

uncertainty could impact global dealmaking. allen klein, who has been involved in over a hundred billion dollars has joined us. next on bloomberg. ♪

>> you are watching bloomberg markets live from london. i am scarlet joined by shery ahn from new york. time for the deals report. we zero in on the business insight and analysis from the big players behind the deals.

how politics at home and abroad could impact this summer and fall. >> we are joined by jeff mccracken, our executive editor along with his special guest, alan klein. he is the busiest deal lawyer in america 2015 -- 2016. he has a $43 billion acquisition merger and aon total of a $15 -- $15 million purchase and a $26 billion microsoft linkedin deal. it is great to have you both here. it has been a busy year for you. is this an unusual 2016 where you have clients pulling off these massive deals or does it reflect a broader trend? of all, it reflects a

tremendous amount of good luck and hard work. --elf and my colleagues these are long-standing clients in fields which the first half of the year have shown an uptick in activity. industrials are relatively stronger as part of the m&a market for the first six months. that is where these clients have been focused. >> we have seen a slowdown in the last couple of weeks. i've got to start with what is happening here. -- the. referendum actual divorce has not happened yet. we don't know exactly when it will. what is the impact on companies willingness to buy out companies? anbrexit has certainly been additional element of uncertainty that has come into play this year.

i think the first couple of weeks after brexit, you saw the markets get very volatile. you've seen the strength in the dow, the strength in the ftse. that is a very good sign for people being able to agree on valuations and move forward on deals and i think things that have been in the pipeline are going to continue to be in the pipeline. it has remained remarkably stable. it is a good question. there is a lot of hard work that needs to take place in working through the details. i think a lot of the fallout remains uncertain. >> how does a presidential election impact m&a? you have been through this since the reagan administration, so seven or eight presidential elections. does it start a slowdown in june

or july or does it accelerate when people try to get a deal done before the administration changes? >> i think historically, what you see is a real slowdown in october. in years where there is no presidential -- no incumbent, there is really a slowdown after labor day. into mid-november, people wait to see what will be the new administration and who is going to be running regulatory policy. this year is obviously, without question, the oddest we have seen in all of our professional lifetimes. wonder if coming out of the conventions that slowdown will be part of the natural august whole back and people are just going to be putting things on pause as we head into november. >> i want to bring up this chart on m&a sentiment.

it shows that professionals in the m&a business, 62% said a donald trump presidency will have a negative impact on deals in the region. america, europe, the u.s., what are you hearing from clients when it comes to the potential candidate? think uncertainty is bad for the deal market. i think with a democratic administration, whether you view it positively or negatively you have a good sense of what that will mean in terms of everything from antitrust policy to monetary policy. >> is there a preference for clinton over trump? at the moment, what trump means is more uncertainty. is -- the devil you

know versus the devil you don't know or a more affirmative view of it. around trump it just furthers the degree of uncertainty. it means ceos are not willing to take risks when they don't know what environments they are operating in. considerso have to that the polls have come under question as well as well as betting market -- vetting markets. our companies more or less scared of political risks? >> it becomes a real factor. a year ago it would not have been a material part of the conversation. ithink the polls getting terribly wrong on brexit lead to people waking up feeling very surprised. people don't like feeling surprised when they are thinking of spending billions of dollars. heightens the degree of uncertainty around the election because it means you

cannot have the level of confidence in the polls you might have had. >> you brought up antitrust concerns. we've got a couple of health insurance deals out there that might get blocked. how does that change the conversation at the board level? issue that you don't even venture in or are you looking at solutions? questionis simply no that right now i would say the two threshold issues that anybody looks at, number one is valuation but the other is regulatory environment. circumstances, before people have agreed on evaluation , they will have the lawyers on both sides think through what the issues might be around regulatory matters.

and will then need to be to investors? what level of risk is there? that oneed to evaluate deciding whether to follow through. >> what does it do to a termination fee? the allocation of regulatory risk is an important part of any negotiation and whether that is something that both sides should carry, that regulatory risk whether one side should bear that risk and have to pay a fee if they are not able to achieve regulatory approval? many transactions these days -- some people are pushing for a transaction and there is a significant regulatory risk. they may have to bear the burden by paying a fee.

>> stay with me because we are going to be talking about changing how private equity deals get done. we will explore that question when our deals report continues. also later in the hour, jpmorgan and citigroup are among the banks kicking off earning season. we are taking stock of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

>> this is bloomberg markets. live from new york, we are back with a deals report talking about the billionaire koch brothers who are help filling a give -- a big gap in private equity spending.

lending has been hampered by tougher capital wire mitts since the financial crisis. -- capital requirements since the financial crisis. our executive editor and alan klein. now we have this adt with the largest leveraged buyout this year. what struck you as you are seeing this package comes through? >> i was working on the side for adt so we were on the south side. but it was a fascinating point hit thisecause as we past december, january, february, the high-yield markets were virtually shot. that is a traditional source for financing in this transaction. did in aapollo

marketable job of pulling together close to 10-12,000,000,000 dollars. at a point in time where traditional markets were almost shut. frankly, traditional lenders have been very squeezed by the u.s. federal reserve. the federal reserve has really told the traditional banks that they don't want them landing into leveraged situations that have a 6-1 loan ratio. you see private equity firms having to go through nontraditional sources to create the capital stack that they need. withw does this compare deals you worked on three years ago or five years ago or 10 years ago where we saw these $20 billion lbos coming regularly. prior to the financial

crisis, it would have been one likelihoodn all standing up for the commitment for most of the senior if not all the senior debt package. they would quickly have found code leads who would come in with them. the syndication process takes place but the amount of debt that was available on any given day for that package is much more limited and there is a much ,reater need for mezzanine debt which is very frequently coming from canadian pension funds, people like the koch brothers. at the senior debt level you see nonbanks providing those loans. >> i want to touch on another deal that you worked on, buying

$443 million. how much business is china generating for you? also, those national security reviews by the u.s. -- how much is that hampering congress? we are still in the midst of the regulatory process. i want to stay away from that transaction but i -- if you look at deal volumes out of china, the outward bound acquisitions companies are for the first six months double for what they were the entire year. i think that tells you right -- there is a lot of acquisitions. >> thank you for joining us. ♪

, analysts looking for another drop in earnings. however the bright spot is sales as helped to recover by easy comparisons to the falling u.s. dollar and rising commodity prices. according to bank of america, the first order light -- likely marked a trough at less than expected because of slower global growth outlook, as well as a stronger u.s. dollar in the wake of all the other central banks in the world keeping a very accommodative policy. in particular they said the 50% for ator will see second straight year. more pain in those numbers. scarlet: more pain for -- shery: more pain for banks with these earnings next week. on that front either. you had one bright spot on sales.

analysts downgrading the estimates. for these big banks. take a look at a chart that i have today. these are analyst who are cutting their full-year profit estimates for this year for all of these banks. earnings that dropped 16% for the full year on the y axis. you have that percentage change with morgan stanley expected to pull the most. faring relatively better compared to the rivals. we have for a long time had the possibility of longer low interest rates with analysts downgrading their forecast. i wanted to give you a picture of what the earnings season will start like. thursday, citigroup, wells fargo on friday as well as on monday. bank of america reporting quarterly earnings. it will be quite an interesting

progresses how that during the rest of the week. scarlet? scarlet: we did hear from jeffries, not really showcasing something that they could get excited about when it comes to commodities and currency, but the interesting thing is that in the days after the break that vote that took so many by surprise, you had a lot of trading activity in the market. perhaps that led to a of a boom and better numbers for trading revenue in that division. whether that sustains itself, how long will that last? i think that most evil watching here are worried. shery: the consensus is that the bonus cuts are coming for just about everyone this year, scarlet. scarlet: yeah. the earnings recession continues for now. to the u.k., the royal air show, one of the biggest

in the u.s. shifted. banks issuing a new card since that date without a chip or any retailer that hadn't switched to the new technology is now shouldering the cost. but the magnetic stripe on awayt cards is not going anytime soon. the conversion has a long way to go. it was estimated that by the end of 2015 only 36% of american credit cards and only 13% of debit cards would have the chip compared to 82% of cards in most of europe. here's the background. credit -- credit cards were cardboard when they were introduced in 1950. they moved to plastic in the 1960's. in the 70's magnetic stripes were added once the standard was set. in 1999, 3 networks, euro pay, mastercard, and visa established the standards for global use that included the option of chip technology. they caught on in europe with regulators pushing for the new

technology. the payment industry in the u.s. relies far more on self-regulation than in europe. like a good thing when american companies were pioneering the credit card economy. but in the wake of well-publicized breaches, the president and lawmakers have standards national for requirements for notifying customers when breaches occur. fear of government regulation like that banks and merchants are speeding up the adoption of chip technology. they have become common in the u.s., but that could take years, and the battle with hackers is bound to continue. that is your global business report. for more stories, visit bloomberg.com. ♪

this -- gaming industry? a simplet is technology. it's not the complicated headset that other companies are trying to do. but in a way it is a gateway for people to get familiar with what augmented reality and the potential for it is. i would not be surprised if you some more mobile developers using more location-based or more simple types of ar in their own games. i was going to ask about the company behind this. obviously, nintendo wins big from this. ,ut who are the names involved what is their linkage to sue -- silicon valley? selina: the actual developer of the game came from google. it used to be a google start up. he was part of google maps.

the drift, a. it's great to see you. so, how much longer will we be drifting? i thought that sounded great at the start. the global economy has responded to productions of doom, but it can't quite get traction. it's taking the knock but not able to advance. one of the principal problems is that there is no one dominic global growth driver, as there has been for every decade since 1945. it was japan.0's, in the 90's, it was the u.s.. the early part of the century was china. now we seem to have a series of microclimates and micro-stories, but no one driver they can just push it through. time we at the same seem to have a series of micro hitting thell,

global economy without doing enough damage to take it down. like the last financial crisis. that's true, scarlet. we've had a series of glancing blows, if you want to put it that way. 3%dicting a global growth of , it's been in that range for a while. but if you break it down and look at the advanced economies, that's barely 2% as subject to downgrade as well. adopted the term drift. we are just sort of hanging in there without backward. remember at the start of the year there was a lot of apocalyptic area around the markets in china in particular that has not come to pass. but we are not surging ahead either. we are literally kind of drifting. you mentioned china's gdp numbers, how much will they be able to run it from there and? dan: first-quarter numbers surprised people in that there

wasn't this apocalyptic meltdown. people speculated that is because of the and fiscal largess. but it did keep us within the target. that is probably what we will be discussing friday. not a breakout, but not a collapse either. full in i want you to but happening in the u.k. and how central banks are responding. we will have a new prime minister there by wednesday, but that's not miss sarah going to move the needle anyone way for the economy. in the back the bank of england is providing all the necessary support they need. dan: it feels like the person who has really been running the u.k. for the past two weeks is the bank of england governor. the majority of the economist are expecting a four point cut on thursday. notch o-matic, but consistent with his message since the vote.

here, i will do what is necessary. don't panic, i've got your back. i will prevent the worst-case scenario and there's going to be a hit. a lot of people have called this an earnings recession. how much will this impact the economy going or word? given that if we are seeing profits falling, that could trigger lower wages and a succession of problems. scarlet: that's a great -- dan: that's a great question. what will be interesting to see the breakdown between domestic operations in company earnings and how much of a hit they are taking from overseas. all right, dan moss, thank you so much for joining us.

"bloombergn markets," shares of the global luxury goods makers have dropped in the past year with a 3% increase in the s&p 500. next up we tell you about the decline in luxury. ♪

we have a look at some of the biggest business stories in the news right now. goldman sachs trimming 55 or

positions in new york, the fourth round of job cuts this year and pushes the total number of dismissals over 400. the cuts are scheduled to happen between the 31st and the 29th. about half of the people being let go are traders and sales personnel. a billion-dollar license has been filed against -- shery: a billion-dollar lawsuit has been filed against facebook. the suit says that the group used a -- a terrorist group used thecial network to share information. hamas is considered a terrorist organization. no comment from facebook. scarlet: a former girlfriend of sumner redstone will not she washer trial when evicted. a judge denied her request for a new trial. came back after

just one day of trial. that is the bloomberg business flash. economic uncertainty stretching from china to europe, currency swings stripping the confidence of high income shoppers the u.s.. it doesn't bode well for luxury demand. that's as written today in a bloomberg cap fly column here in new york. when they started limiting and looking into corruption, starting just these measures to limit extravagant buying and so , you have focused a lot of the expectations on the u.s. and u.s. economic cover he. what is going on that is hurting luxury sales?

>> now we are worried about europe after the right it -- after the brexit. all of that has come together for high spenders in the u.s.. now they are worried and pulling back on the pursestrings. how do we square that with the data that seems to show that the u.s. economy is doing just fine? retail sales have been doing ok. consumer spending seems to have been holding up for the most part. shelly: this isn't an issue of whether they have money, it is an issue of whether they have the confidence to spend. will they buy a new car? why the luxury apartment? if you look at a tiny little data point, new york city luxury apartments. they have been on the market 36% longer than last year. it's whether or not people are feeling comfortable enough to spend. shery: how much of a positive is

it given a plunge in the pound? ironically good market right now, but it only contributes about 6% to these luxury brands. you know, shelly, one question i wanted to know here is -- japan is certainly another area of concern. even though the economy there has been holding up, you have the strong yen holding back a lot of the spending when it comes to going there too. that's also a problem. maybe you saw china pulling back , going tong or macau japan, but now that is starting to back. for the first time in a long time, chinese tourist growth is flat for the first time in a while. not spending, are if europeans are traveling, if americans aren't going abroad --

you tend to spend more when you travel, regardless of how much money you have. not a complete about face, but there are worries. as you have less spending on luxury brands, you see a move to more affordable luxury brands. like michael kors or kate spade. how much of a boost is it to them? that's another thing economists are looking at. they benefit? in some cases, yes. the other thing that benefited them was a higher propensity of accessories. people are more willing to spend on a purse or a bag and they are necessarily on clothing. many of these apparel companies get hit and others are held up better. i can't resist asking

from london, the weaker pound should make the u.k. a destination for luxury shopping? shelly: that is definitely helping. problem is that the u.k. represents only 6% of luxury brands sales. while it can help, it might not be enough. shery: thank you for joining us. you can catch all of the bloomberg gadfly columns at ga ds go on the bloomberg. luxury, every's outgoing ceo speaks exclusively to bloomberg. saying that brexit was not a decision that he wanted and that a weaker pound good health. this is bloomberg. ♪

in london. poseet: u.s. banks sent to second quarter results this thursday. jpmorgan kicking things off purely -- kicking things off. notices could be on the chopping block as a result. laura keller has been covering this story for us, and she joins us now. give us a sense of what we are looking for when it comes to these numbers for earnings starting thursday? thursday take off on with big bank earnings, and i think what most analysts have been expecting this for the rest of the year, we have some bad things, but it could be ok for this quarter. some drawdowns from the total net income, profit will probably be lower for a lot of these things. the could be some good spots, we could see a couple of things , and jpmorgan is a big member that trading area.

we might see some thing from wells fargo, because they've had a lot of refinancing. things like that. analysts are going to be asking what she would be be looking at -- what should we be looking at? what we might see if we're not going to see in history rises and how can we actually see some growth here? scarlet: growth is always the one thing that remains out of reach for a lot of these banks. before the brexit vote, there was a lot of optimism from the banks. you heard the executives talk about a nice recovery in creating revenues and a nice rebound. areanalysts completely -- analysts completely dismissing this comment? laura: banks are saying we have to discount those. not even because of brexit, but because of the choppiness we have seen in june. some say absolutely not, there

are others who say there are mixed results and there could be a couple of kinds of trading that got a boost. we had analysts who said equity trading could have risen a little bit. but there is some kind of caveat possible, where a lot of that trading could have been done on electronic platforms, which doesn't give the banks much in fees. as reporters, we just really have to see. we don't know what happens during the last five trading days of the quarter. scarlet: that's a good point during that incredible volumes and effects, but it depends on whether banks are positioned correctly for the moves that occurred. overall with the increase in volume, that should be good news for a lot of the banks. or is that still up for debate? laura: we don't know if the bank is offsides, meaning they had a lot of volume, but the way they

were positioned wasn't good. we could see some good there. i think what we are really thinking about is on the back of last quarter, which was really terrible for a lot of trading, we were hoping that the second quarter was getting a nice elevated bump. it's more about the whole year story. what can we expect for three key when four q? scarlet: you had a nice story that just rates went from lower for longer to lower forever. you think about how the bank of england signaled they will look to ease monetary policy, economists say that could happen as early as thursday when the boe holds meeting. to what extent is this reflected in current burning investments? analysts havef been putting it back in, where we are not going to have a just rates rising across the u.s.. i think that there is still a little bit of work to be done to revise those estimates. in general, it is a pullback and analysts are doing that because

they are saying we're not going to see these rate rises like we were hoping for. that's bad for certain companies like bank of america, because last year their executives said we positioned in such a way that when interest rates rise, which we expect they will, we need to get a boost. and now that hasn't happened, so they will suffer. scarlet: they will suffer, the lower for longer is good news, for homeowners that want to refinance or people who want to buy homes. you mentioned, it should be good for mortgage lending and wells fargo. laura: and other banks like citigroup, bank of america, they all have these mortgage practices, so they can be great for them. it is still probably a short-term thing and there are other effects, is not 100% good for the banks. we will have to see how that plays out. that could be one of the bright spots this quarter. scarlet: final question. this is the one at all of our customers care about. what does it mean my comes to the challenge

becomes a probability must hurt when it comes to payouts. aren't going to make as much money and profits as we saw -- as we thought, there's not as much to distribute in terms of compensation. the only way, absent having a q, saying q or four we're not going to return as much money to investors. i don't know. it doesn't sound the gets when we looking good for the rest of this year. keller, bloomberg news reporter. a challenging second quarter after a challenging first quarter for big banks. coming up on "bloomberg markets," y thomson reuters is selling one of its division to private equity investors, and what it could mean for the future of the media company. this is bloomberg. ♪

bloomberg is one of their main competitors. but because of that, it has been looking at different ways to consolidate their delivery. they're looking at saving money in certain areas and making sure they can put money back into the company to help it, then ultimately expand. at the moment, the company is a process of trying to reestablish its market shares. after losing a lot of them. scarlet: investors seem to like that deal, we see shares climbing and trading right now. what are you hearing? what kind of commentary have analysts provided? pamela: we are seeing on x shares higher, they do trades in canada. and also in the united states. we are seeing their shares up as well. look and analyst reports, scott chen saying he thinks that with a paid is a little bit rich, particularly for our next, multiples on the sealer higher than you normally see.

this earnings recession and how it compares to previous recessions? mike: previous earnings recessions, that's the big distinction. this one as of yet doesn't appear to be dragging the full economy at large into a recession, which is one of the things that a lot of people are taking heed of. part of the reason to be optimistic about the market. bloomberg news had a great story about this today, talking about how long it has lasted. at six quarters, is one of the longest earnings recessions on record. 3 2009 financial crisis was longer. earnings have decreased about 18% since 2014, earnings per share on a gap basis are down to $86 a share down from $106. that is a lot. if you look at some of the other earnings recessions, the two

prior to this, the financial crisis, the.com bubble, both of which cause actual recessions -- the drop in earnings was about double what we have seen so far. much more steve and deep recession and profits. e and deep recession. scarlet: we had a chart of earlier that really highlights the valuation question. it is distorted by what happened in 2008, 2009. you have big spike in price price-earnings because prices came down so much and earnings had not reacted. valuationing pe moving higher. how does that compare to the stored valuations, and what does that say about the durability of this world market? mike: if you look at gap earnings, not adjusted earnings, but gap earnings. it's about 25 and change now, which is in the 90th percentile,

as far as most extensive in history. stocks people bidding for record? you will get at bond yields and interest rates. the 10 year treasury yielding 1.4 and change percent, that is keeping corporate borrowing costs down. that's a good telling for stocks. it's also making the dividend yield attractive. the s&p paying 2.1% in dividends. are basically still chasing yield wherever they can. there's optimism that this is the worst of the earnings get back, that we will to double-digit percentage gains next year. obviously, it's difficult for a lot of people to stomach valuations this high. kind of a buy and hold your

nose for a lot of people. scarlet: we were talking about the ea functions earning analysis on the bloomberg, and how sales are expected to rise in the second quarter. part of that has to do with easy comparisons and the fact that the u.s. dollar has weakened a little bit and oil prices have come back and recovered along with other commodity prices. ahead, forward, going this is the function, let's pull up what it looks like. i'm going to get rid of this, so you can see it in context. we are going to spread it out, and the top panel is the sales growth. the bottom panel is the bottom line profit growth. andcan see the divergence how sales growth is set to perhaps recovered. what are you hearing, michael regan, when the rest of the world is mired in this? mike: the ease of the dollar is

certainly one of them. everyone's eyes are on oil prices. analyst estimates are optimistic going forward. traditionally, they come down a bit as we get closer to the reporting period. it will be interesting to see how far down they come in, going forward. if that double digits earning growth is a reality or just too optimistic at the moment. a lot of people, with the market at an all-time high, people are buying the optimistic approach. scarlet: for now. mike regan. much more coming up on "bloomberg markets." we switch from equity to debt with kathleen gaffney. this is bloomberg. ♪
