>> you are watching bloomberg markets. i'm in london with shery ahn in new york. before we check in with oliver renick, i want to broaden the look at the financials. come in here as well. and you look at how european financial banks have performed since the crisis, come inside the bloomberg and the difference is stark. you see the s&p 500 index has moved higher even as it is often speak from last july. the stoxx 600 bank indexes off 46% since the end of the financial crisis. gap and it is getting wider. it is getting bigger and bigger because european banks have to contend with the issues over negative interest rate and what kind of burden that has on profitability. whereas u.s. banks have gone up a little bit further. we are seeing bank stocks

plummeting but now they are beginning their footing. still, afters are falling from the financial burden of interest income, let's turn to oliver renick who has a look at jpmorgan. jpmorgan is the leading stock in the dow today. they beat analyst estimates on earnings and in revenue. today, the numbers do not lie. jpmorgan reported a net income of $6.2 billion. income of theet six biggest banks would fall -- jpmorgan is looking a little bit better. so low interest rates are in part responsible for the dismal outlook. the reported revenue against the 10 year yields continues to move lower.

revenue for the second quarter did rise more than 2% from one year ago. the revenue gain was aided by more gains. almost $4 billion from fixed income trading. beating analyst estimates. the units of jpmorgan are firing on all cylinders. the revenue gains compared to a year ago, only asset management was the business lineup that didn't do better. the corporate bank rose more than 5% from a year earlier. going into the quarter there was a lot of attention from the followed of the british vote. and you may have seen jamie dimon campaigning for the u.k. going into the brexit vote. carriesbecause jpmorgan $8 billion in britain. you see just how important the u.k. is to revenue across all of the banks. jpmorganhese numbers,

executives think this will affect the gdp in the u.k. which will affect the economy that not the banks business. jpmorgan is a stock to watch. through the session today and going forward to see how brexit affects the company. shery: let's get more with laura keller who covers the banking sector. how long can the success of jpmorgan last? laura: who knows? [laughter] laura: this quarter was good. this was a good kickoff to the bank season here. most analysts are not revising upwards. not going into to that in 16 or 2017 yet. so it won't necessarily carry forward into the next quarter. a lot of people were saying that the second quarter numbers didn't matter even with the trading increases. what kind of outlook did jamie dimon and the management team

offer on today's conference call? janie didn't say much at all because he had a horse voice. i think i would have liked to see a little bit more in terms of what they thought coming up. a lot of times you see the bank talk but we didn't hear a ton of that. they did express optimism about the u.s. economy. they mentioned how loan growth .as been really great so turning back to trading, that was an incredible beat for the fixed income side. 35% up from the last few years. so we did have a great time there. well.u have jpmorgan as one of the executives said that actually talking about growth of 11% in trading, but we saw that much higher. the other banks -- too -- given thatnks some of them are positioned for higher rates, how does this

factor into lower rates being a positive for mortgage banks? how is this going to balance out in earnings? all banks are looking to the higher interest rates that they are not getting. but maybe one of the bright spots for that can be to have additional mortgages come online. jpmorgan did see that although some analysts to not see as much growth there as they would have liked to. with mortgages, people go and they revise. people would consider getting a mortgage because rates are so low. so banks will get some benefit there. >> the net interest margin coming in lower than what analysts had expected. 2.25%. on there any color offered how much more pressure or compression there would be on the net interest margins? steadythey're holding it but you can see the fall more. it was down five basis points

which is sort of a lot in a single quarter. so i think that given the interest rates here, you will see it go lower. calls what are conference going to focus on going forward? laura: we didn't get what he wanted on where brexit has taken us. they didn't give us this color. there were rumors about looking at different hedge funds. so there will still be analysts out there who are looking for the forward on what brexit will be like specific to the banking sector. and then unresolved questions about whether we will be able to have entities in london being able to trade with other parts of europe. and he counterparty clearing argument, no questions there. none of that has been resolved. as you look ahead to the rest of the big banks reporting, we have bank of america and goldman sachs and morgan stanley next week -- what will you be looking for in terms

of divergence from jpmorgan? laura: in terms of one of the things that we always look at is the trading revenue. and with jpmorgan, with analysts that looked before, they were not projected to do as badly. so i'm trying to see whether that will play out. whether morgan stanley will actually be worse. and one thing that is really interesting -- the investment banking overall, we looked at those results and it was quite interesting to see that they looked at the deal logic data. which analysts used to calculate where people go. jpmorgan had a 30% difference between what we would have projected from the deal logic data and what they actually did. so we may actually see a lot more upside than we could otherwise. and so many analysts think big

discounts from comments executive analysts gave earlier in june focuses on brexit. scarlet: good stuff. laura keller of bloomberg news. we have breaking news. donald trump will pick indiana governor mike pence as his running mate. his vice presidential running mate. we know that donald trump met with mike pence at his residence yesterday. again, roll call is announcing that donald trump will pick indiana governor mik pence for his vice president of canada. this is bloomberg. ♪

bloomberghis is blu markets. is raising its bid for

monsanto. here is a look at how monsanto shares are trading. they are moving higher, up 3.2%. a big bump up earlier. since then it has eased back down. let's get more from a hammond. bayer raisedhat its bid. what kind of offer are we looking for? ed: i think it was inevitable that they were goingo bump up their first offer that they made a while ago. monsanto said this is something we recognize that is a smart thing to do. the logic ford consolidation but they set the price is not sufficient. inevitable buts it is also small. so whether it is to get the monsanto board or shareholders

to put pressure on the company will remain to be seen. it doesn't at the moment look like enough. we know anything about the enterprise value of this bid? ed: at the moment it is a three dollar a share bump. it is an all-cash bid. the other thing here is that there is a lack of alternatives for monsanto. as far as we know, they are talking to the other big german company but that is about something different. that is more like an acid deal where they would take on some of the chemicals businesses but it is not a straight sell. so if you are an investor, you want to think that this might be the only one. scarlet: i wanted to bring that up. the talk that has been reside -- that has been revised with monsanto. does that happen regardless of whether this bayer deal goes

through? ed: i think it does. the executive of month-end and has been vocal about the fact that he wants to explore the possible options of the company. and we haveo, written about this previously, the possibility of joining with -- china. then theylls of apart could take a run again. they are trying to keep as many things as possible on the table. shery: ed hammond, thank you. the latest on bayer and monsanto deal. back to you, scarlet. reporting, we were the bank of england kept interest rates unchanged in a surprise move today. the central bank is opting for a cautious approach following the brexit boat.

toresa may is beginning shape her with a number of new appointments. here to talk about the nuances -- mark carney, two weeks ago, directly intervened and promised a rate cut this time this summer. i think he is taking a cautious approach. i think he may have indicated cut but rates will be in retrospect, maybe they have decided to see how it goes. we have seen that it has come back up a little bit. confidence isn't as low as people had feared. haslet: right, stability returned to the market. accused markc has carney of scaremongering before the vote. i think he has been

remarkably consistent. i think he was weary of getting dragged too much into the politics. he always said that it was a democratic decision to be made by the british people and he was never shy of saying that it could have significant consequences. outi think it is being worn , we are in the process of having a new government be assembled, and once it is put in place, i think a lot will depend on the policies it tries to brexit.ith regards to there are various different ways that could play out. scarlet: speaking of theresa may 's new cabinet, her goal was to slow things down to get political stability. what you think of her cabinet change? pawel: i think it is pretty balanced. on the remainures

and leave side of the argument, which is crucial to maintain the confidence of her party. though side can feel as they've been unduly punished because of the results. so that is the first welcome step. the key problem now is getting all of these people around the cabinet table to agree as to what brexit means. because i think you have people like philip hammond who are more cautious and others who are more in favor of seizing the opportunity of exit and pursuing a more pioneering path for britain. scarlet: having said all of that. , they areans brexit still trying to determine how to go about that. the main people involved in negotiating would be boris johnson? pawel: i think boris johnson

will not be that involved. the new ministry will be headed by david davis -- scarlet: but he will be the foreign secretary and have the relationship with the diplomatic partner? pawel: of course. termsl play a big role in of the optics of it but in terms of the negotiations, i think that will be handled by the brexit ministry. and to reason may a micromanager. perspective, that is not to be underestimated. in her defense, she would say that it helps her get things done. thehas said that she wants u.k. to have as much access to the eu. the eu says you cannot have one without the other. are these opening gambit's? pawel: i think the inevitable

trade-off will be the extent to which theresa may agrees to compromise on movement. it is notable that in her control"he said "more on immigration. ondon't have free movement the line that we have had up until now. thank you so much for your perspective. edpawel swidlicki. we will continue this conversation continuing. this is bloomberg. ♪

but over the long run, you could see capital leaving the u.k.. also external portfolio flows. how vulnerable is the u.k.? guest: i would emphasize that this is a process and not a you are eventful top it's not going to happen overnight and knees capital decisions are going to need to take their time and determine what sort of business planning and what have you to determine what capacity they will be withdrawing. my concern is you are looking at improvement in risk sentiment as almost an equivalent of a dead cat ounce. has said if analyst you look at the trade weighted pound, it has been dropping with the actual pound self and its and effective easing of policy.

did that factor into the decision or is it the fact that theresa may could move toward more flexibility? guest: it's important to have that element in terms of policy support, but for monetary policy in terms of the currency, i think the bank of england is looking at whether to ease financial positions and carney has been on the record discussing the current account deficit situation can improve based off the weakness in the exchange rate. i think that's a critical component with policy near the limits that the current cycle. could that mean euro-dollar parity? we have not seen that 2002. risk. it is a nontrivial i think it depends on the scope

of lyrical uncertainty to spillover beyond the borders of the u.k. and certainly, that's difficult for markets to calibrate two. i would suggest the notion that this is a process and not a's indoor event. with europe, we have a situation where we have a rough run them coming up in october and next year, you have a slew of elections with germany and france coming up at the turn of the year and that's going to be more of a concern at the turn of the year as opposed to something that is a concern in the immediate timeframe. there is some speculation out there that helicopter money could make an appearance in japan with ben bernanke meeting with japanese officials. does an actual form of helicopter money actually matter to investors or is this enough to keep the yen moving lower? guest: i think in the short-term, until we get to the

to lookting, my bias is at the top side in dollar yen. hugeou are building such a expectation that japanese policymakers will be delivering massive amounts of unique stimulus that we have not seen before and we are not sure how that is going to filter through into markets and i would be concerned that short of delivering that kind of chopper money, the markets might he disappointed. you could see dollar yen collapse, but for now, respect the top side, particularly given that we have seen over the last couple of months that you have seen yen long, say washout position needs to take place. more top side in the near term but my concern right which the extent to

expectations can be disappointed. thank you so much for joining us. the senior ethics strategist there. up, will brazil acting president be able to pull the south american company out of its worst recession in a century? if you are looking at credit default swaps, maybe. i have the chart, next. this is bloomberg. ♪

investors are pouring money into exchange traded indexes and doing it the fastest pace september. close total $11.5 billion. let's go to carol mann's -- carol massar and cory johnson standing by with jason brown. he says momentum etf's rank highly on his investment radar carol: this is the bloomberg advantage on bloomberg radio. we are talking with jason brown, chief investment officer at fun dax. we want to talk about how you pick some of your funds and some of the etf's you guys look at. does it feel like there is a fair amount of opportunity out there? guest: if there is one thing we have noticed is that this market is resilient. maybe we have gone away from the secular bear environment or you can think long-term about your investments, which is a great opportunity to not necessarily

worry about the news and things that are coming out. instead, to be able to think longer-term and follow the traditional investment process like asset allocation and rebalancing. when we look at etf's as a way to get exposure in an area, theyk at this moment where have $5 billion in assets and how that works the world of etf's. robo advisors are interesting because they are trying to promote the idea of low cost eds and charging a fee to do something relatively simple -- just take a static asset allocation and rebalance it every once in a while. i can see the appeal to some extent and i could say our process has always been to acknowledge market trends change

and we want to take advantage and i believe we can add some value over time. that's one area they don't grasp completely. maybe they have gotten bad advice in the past or feel like they are paying too much. ishink the one thing that interesting is there's a lot less criticism of what the investment results have been. carol: there are a lot more options for investors who want to do it more on their own. areou feel like you competing with new investor money from some of these options? .uest: possibly i would say not that different from somebody who would have gone to the firm in the past and bought a selection of raw-based etf's on their own and may be

rebalanced periodically because they decided an index team was the best way to approach and uncertain environment and they want to focus on fees. i think the robo advisor community does make things any simple to get things started and to not have to think about any element of it. if people think back and say what did i just get myself into, they don't have a clear picture of what to expect from a risk return perspective or what the long-term strategy has done for them and i think that's interesting and we will see how it lays out. a worldn you imagine where there are too many etf's? guest: i think we have then in that world for a while. 70ook at the universe of etf products that have come out and there are always interesting things like we have embraced the momentum of a quality etf and low volatility strategies that

have done well. but you really need these industries and etf that try to promote the idea that they are creating liquidity in areas of the market that had not been look at before, it does not make any sense. you have to be careful thinking all etf's are created equal. they are certainly not. talk about etf strategy. how do you pick and choose where you allocate any? three-stepollow a process. we make sure any etf has a reasonable track record, is reasonably diversified and trades well so we can buy it and sell it at a reasonable price. from there, we group our etf's based on downside record and rank them based on near-term performance and then we re-rank every month.

and we will replace it with something that is higher ranked. lows we are buying now is volatility funds, mid-caps and small caps coming up the ranks. carol: we are hearing a lot more people talking about the dividend strategy. thank you. back. carol massar on the growth of the etf industry. shery: still ahead, a former imf chief economist warns of tough times ahead for the u.k. as it works to leave the eu. this is bloomberg. ♪

the same time u.s. treasuries were posting historic rallies where yields got to new record lows in the u.s. people are looking to u.s. to understand the international dynamic creating this backdrop for the incredible yield that we are seeing in the u.s. clearly timing was not on their side but where can they put money if they are looking to put it into sovereign debt market you are not going to go to europe. lisa: the largest insurer in japan made an interesting statement. they believe u.s. treasuries have room to rally more, but they do not the value for them elves because the cost to hedge against what you wish and in the dollar have increased so much that they are not actually earning income from those treasuries. which is sort of interesting

because it not as if they are bearish for the prospect of these bonds. that said, they see better opportunities because the cost of hedging is not so great compared to the yields you are getting onome of those instruments. we see an incredible rally in corporate debt this year with 12% return on u.s. high-yield bonds which is more than we have seen on the s&p 500. the fact that there is more room to run if these japanese investors come here is an interesting thing to think about. shery: this is what caught my attention yesterday because we see these big bond investors getting away from treasuries but then pimco is loading up on treasuries, extending their funds to the highest and eight months. what are investors trying to gauge here? lisa: when you started asking about why did people care about

what japan is doing, it is precisely this. u.s. treasury yields are not dependent on economic factors in the u.s. at this point. we are not looking at jobs data and what's going on in the u.s. quite as much as what is going on -- will we see another round of helicopter money coming out of there? what about the ecb or the bank of england? knows? they are expected to drop their interest rates to a record low level in the wake of exit. all of this is coming back to the u.s., pushing investors to invest in treasuries. even though the inflation rate seems to be picking up and wages seem to be picking up and jobless rate seem to be going down, people see yields going lower because of what is going on internationally. people have to understand that if they want to invest in

treasuries and it's a hard thing to get your hands around. fuld in the bond auction results and what it tells us about demand for sugar -- shorter term versus longer-term that. there is a limit to how much people will buy in the near term long-term, people do not expect inflation to pick up in a meaningful way. always great to talk to you and put everything into perspective. go to theommentary bloomberg. scarlet: devon energy has agreed to sell half of its stake to a canadian pension fund. they are better funded and able to focus on core assets after the sale. with this sale announced, where is devon energy with regard to
