for a few quarters, amid that takeover we mentioned of hmi. manus: breaking news from sap, confirming the full-year forecast, critically important, total revenue comes in at 5.24%. 5.22 percent is what we're looking at. that is a beat. 27.6%. operating profit, again a very comfortable beat. this is operating profit, $1.52 billion.the estimate was 1.45. let us talk to caroline hyde. she is standing by to break down the numbers. caroline, it looks like the challenge is working as quarter, about rebalancing for mcdermott. and the cloud business, break it down for us. what is the first take, the red headline? sales, andn terms of in terms of operating profit, manus, seeing sales climbed some

5%, all about the cloud computing area. this is the company desperately trying to shift away from license-based money coming in to subscription-based, which is a little less profitable, but perhaps more tenable in the long-term. they are seeing clouds christians really ramping up, up 41% in terms of growth. that is really managing to show growth versus the competitors. remember, they're trying to tackle the salesforce, the new kids on the block. they are managing to pump out the sf next week. this is what is really selling. and notably, their striking deals. they are worked out they need to work with microsoft, developing apps and tools you would use while you're on the move, on the go, using android or microsoft devices or apple devices, all of these need to be used on the go. and getting access to your clients, to your marketing

tools, via the cloud. this is all about flex ability. they are saying they're sticking seeingtargets cloud, growth of 6.8% in 2016. so we are seeing real growth for sap, managing to clawback, from what many feeling was too slow on the uptake when it canst cloud. anna: now their dominating. anna:caroline, also delivering them from microsoft. caroline: exactly. this was the same, the same last earnings season and this earnings season, if you make it work with cloud computing you generally are a winner in the technology space. we just saw yesterday. big blue ibm also showing growth in cloud computing. and microsoft too rosen after our trading, being pulled about, showing once again that shifting productivity to the workspace, and notably the cloud, is really

paying off. have a look at my screen and we can dig into the actual numbers of microsoft. we saw sales rise better than expected, $22.6 billion for the fourth quarter sales, that was more than expected, up from 2%. we will see real ramp up in revenue next year. you will see some 3% growth in the following 2017, and 6% growth in 2018. you may feel this is a story that is going to continue to improve. microsoft notably showing stocks increase. this is the cloud business doubling, more than 100% growth in that space. the pc market doing better than expected. that is what they are shooting away from, pcs losing sales, we want to work from our tablets. the destruction in the job cuts, taking a $1.1 billion charge re, but they are managing

to get out of the license and into the subversion business. those shares traded higher. manus: caroline hyde with a very latest on sap and microsoft. later this morning, caroline will have a talk with sap ceo. anna: also on the heels of her first cabinet meeting, uk prime minister theresa may has a packed day ahead. we'll take you through her day ahead, because it is a full 100 jobs data due at 9:30 u.k. time, along with the new chancellor philip hammond, getting a snapshot on the month after the eu referendum. and she is in parliament for her first questions as premier. manus: and the start of a two-day european trip, attending a trip with german chancellor angela merkel at 4:30 u.k. time. and she meets hollande in france. derek how fitting is our guest, derek, she has a very packed

agenda. some of it is theater. some of it is about setting the tenor and tone of brexit negotiations. have we all then lolled into a false sense of security? apart from currency, have they in, because we're back at pre-brexit levels. derek: there was always going to be some pullback, in terms of, well, triggering the article 50, going forward. and you have a prolonged period of negotiation. and you're always looking at 2.5-3 years before anything actually changes. yes, you have this uncertainty. the reality is that nothing actually is changing, for quite a period of time. 02 on theare at 131.

dollar this morning. derek, you were surprised by the mpc not moving. where does it go for the pound? : we see it lower, i year-end target of 124. they will of course act on the first of august, but all this being said, i think the next phase is going to be about the actual macro economic impact from this. and certainly, i think the most extreme period in which we are probably going to get the worst element of that is data from the third quarter and perhaps into the fourth quarter. certainly, the sentiment readings we have had across-the-board tell you we are going to see some pullback in activity. and i think that couples with -- do not forget the broader global situation -- and our forecast of 124, it is not just brexit. the markets have to readjust to the fact there are broader developers that are going to

become far more important perhaps to the direction of the pound, than the day-to-day developments. manus: what are those? because you talk about the world, we have the msci world index here. it is beginning to lose momentum, back pre-brexit, losing momentum. 3, you want to have a look at it. whatof your consideration, are the big proponents of risk when you look at the world? derek: we are a little bit dubious of this risk appetite recovery. and it is fueled, in part by central bank expectations, the bank of england will ease, boj easing at in a month. ecb will extend qe, and the fed is on the sideline. and you have growth in the u.s. better than expected. well,n't forget china as the growth story we had last friday for example, unexpected. but i think all of that could

unravel, or a lot of that could unravel quite quickly. , we don'te, the boj expect anything significant at the july meeting. given the fact that over the last week or 10 days we had this big debate over helicopter money, the next big step, i think there is a lot of optimism price into dollar-yen at current levels and that will unravel quite quickly. anna: will get more of your thoughts on japan in a moment. sticking with the u.k., when we look at the underlying reasons to cut rates, and of course a lot of it has to be guesswork that we don't have the data, the sentiment indicators that you mentioned, but we don't have the data. do you see the benefit of cutting rates? kate barker, talking to my colleagues today at the most recent meeting, she said that we should not be cutting rates right now. she said with a population that is not as young as it used to be, we are starting to learn a little bit about how we incentivize people to save money actually, if you cut interest

rates. and if you do this over a prolonged period, keeping them so low. derek: obviously, on the rate side of the story, you have borrowers and takers. there will be the impact. certainly on a macro scale, there is a net benefit from it. but obviously, given the fact that rates are where they are, particularly you look at the yield curve in the u.k. and the move that we had since brexit, in terms of the 10-year gilt yield, it has been very considerable. part of that was the expectation of the bank of england would move. certainly, 25 basis points the bank of england, even if they did 50, i don't think it will have a massively beneficial impact, given where we are globally. but i do feel that they have to at least meet what the market is inspecting at this point in time. and of course, they have a mandate, why they are waiting for the inflation report in august so they can explain.

alpennyderek howel stays with us. anna: up next, a former officials is the boj should end the japanese to enlist debate. we will explain what he meant there. the 6:30 u.k. time, we have chart of the hour. and we had up to cleveland, ohio the days three of the of republican convention. ♪

manus: it is 6:21 in london. beautiful day in hong kong, 1:21, hang seng is trading up 9/10 of 1%. rosalind chin is with us. welcome. miller willnus, sab discuss growing investor pressure for a higher cash bed from ab inbev. that is according to people familiar with the matter. they say fund managers have

complained that the 77 billion pound offer is less attractive following the plunging sterling. this drop the two biggest shareholders, getting a sweeter deal of other investors. microsoft gained in extended trading after sales topped estimates, thanks to the cloud business. third quarter revenue was up, with cloud users doubling. the ceo has been changing to clout and productivity services, as traditional software sales strength. the bulletin shares are trading lower in sydney. the world's biggest mining company is inspecting iron ore production to be flat this fiscal year. it also says capital spending would drop by 34%, after petroleum output fell last quarter. unilever has announced it is buying dollar shave club.

the terms the deal were not disclosed, but orange of fortune magazine, it is worth $1 billion. clubly held dollar shave is on track to post $2 million in sales this year. buyers deciding whether or not to raise for monsanto a second takeover,$55 billion and the offer was inadequate. but it said it was open to further talks. the risk is that monsanto could choose another suitor. a german rival, over a potential alliance. and that is your bloomberg business flash. anna and manus? anna: rosslyn, figured much. a former obj economist says they should correct two big lies next week. should add more stimulus and scrap unlimited policy space, achieving 2%

inflation target in about two years. he said the market will lose trust in the central bank if it continues to remain so bullish. derek, you have artie given us some clues as to your fairly relatively low expectations about what they will do. what you go along with this analysis, that they need to step away from its commitments around all of these comments they have made around unlimited policy space and how quickly they can get to the inflation target? derek: it is a tricky one. i see both sides. in terms of the 2%, target i agree. . i can also see governor kuroda's concern, sending a signal to the markets, perhaps giving up on that goal. ux, of course, the whole the deflation mindset that exists in japan after 20 years of mild inflation. for the boj to throw in the

towel and abandon these commitments because they feel they are unrealistic, could have a very powerful impact on expectation for inflation. i can see both sides. isertainly getting to 2% very unrealistic. we should not discount the fact that getting to 1% and maintaining that for a. a. period of time. manus: we have a chart about the fed holding's of the treasury. comparing that to the bank of japan, and this leads to two big lies, the bank of japan owns about one third of the total market of debt. they're going to run against the buffers, in terms of the ability to continue to buy. one of great debates. derek: you know, japan has massive assets abroad. and i think taking of dollar yen, that is probably the

problem. the fact that we have this massive investment in income surplus on the current account side of the balance of payments, and what happened during the period of the evaluation was a lot of these investments become surplus, that get converted back to the japanese yen. it wasn't conversant because of the movement dollar-yen, yen was growing inside. but once the terms, the psychology has shifted. now more and more of those incomes are conversant back into the japanese yen, over 4% of gdp, that is really a big element of support. anna: just briefly, if we get no move, no new moves from the boj, what happens to the yen? derek: if we are trading 106, i think we will get back. alpennny from

bank of tokyo stay with us. manus: is the special relationship strong enough to secure a lucrative trade deal between the u.k. and the u.s.? we discussed that, next. this is bloomberg. ♪ [hip hop beat]

and paul ryan, the other thing that caught my attention, they had a mock trial of hillary clinton. crowdthey whipped the going guilty, guilty over a matter of issues. anna: and also in this edition of daybreak, the continuing focus on turkey. turkish president erdogan, we resigning,iversities big questions over moody's. and we talked about yesterday, barack obama urging his counterpart to respect civil liberties. and we see the lira in the market. manus: i love the story, that sab miller, potentially the shareholders saying go back. sterling is back. 11%. go back to anheuser-busch. we want a better deal. that is really fascinating, for

me, in terms of the pressure of institutional shareholders, and in terms of what brexit really, really means. anna: this is of course related to the fall of the pound we have seen. another round. i like the way we did this in the headline. obviouslyrosoft advanced over 4.2% over last night. as caroline said earlier, this sets the tenor. techech, and old reinventing themselves. dicget your clients to trade. rally, stock market beating estimates on sales. you had a nice line. the whole tech space seems to be galvanized in this quarter. anna: certainly, a lot of folks on the cloud. let us get out to caroline hyde. she has been looking at the markets for us and has an update from berlin. caroline: near a three-month high coming out of the msci

asian-pacific. we have to be kicking off of the stock market, because we are getting so tentatively close to the year-to-date high. take a look at my bloomberg. msci, wedig into the have been ramping up, very close to that all-time high we saw back in april for the year. 134 is where we trade. asian stocks pushing higher to three-month higher. positive earning reports really driving desire, from some of the world's's biggest company. you were talking microsoft. we have numbers from ibm yesterday. all this helping to drive forward. notable that one area not driving forward, that continues to be the turkish lira. but one helping to fuel this intimate, oil, seeing it was higher at the moment. this is as stockpiles come down. on my screen, i am currently showing you of uti in the blue line, slightly above the $45

mark. but notably, the white line, crude supplies dipping. as the demand balancers to retake itself, we can start to see demand help the drive towards stabilizing the oil markets. until we see opec actually pull back from production, as many analysts say, we will not see a significant pop above $50. we are seeing oil traded back today, helping drive stocks higher. i leave you with the one qe weakness, the turkish lira. have a little look on my bloomberg. i'm showing you really now what is happening with the turkish lira, since the coup. spikes seen record high versus the dollar. we are seeing the lira near record lows. that weakness, that pressure being felt, particularly after moody's the rating company

says we can be cutting to junk territory. there is your wrapup. asia trading higher. asia trading higher. oil trading higher. manus: caroline, thank you very much. let us stay on that focus, moody's, well, they have a decision to make in with her to downgrade not following the failed coup attempt to let us get out to yousef, you have a spectacular retrospective on the turkish lira. yousef: absolutely, manus. so, flirting with record lows against the u.s. dollar. but historically, what kind of impact has movieody's had? you can pull this up on the bloomberg. you're looking here is the last time moody's made a decision was in 2013, that was an upgrade. three years and two months

before that decision, the currency depreciated 16%. three years and two months after the decision, this accelerated to 39% in the negative. perhaps counter intuitive by any measure, underscoring that perhaps that is not the best indicator or precursor as to which direction the currency go from here. but bear in mind we did get a note from barclays. they expect investors to drop $3.2 billion in turkish bonds, is moody's does followthrough the downgrade. anna: the movie lose -- moody b lues. yousef, thank you. staying in the middle east, iran is exploring a return to international debt for the first time since 2002. we spoke to the economy minister, whose ministry is at the forefront of securing the access to the global financial system. now, the groundwork for

issuing bonds in various iranian debt securities in the international markets exist. and i'm certain the situation will also improve in the future. we have certain like billions of dollars with agreements with different countries for financing iranian projects. manus: the u.s. t secretary of stae john kerry said it would be a deal with britain. despite the special relationship, which both he and the foreign secretary boris johnson say remain strong. secretary kerry: i think it is clear that no previous administrations, in either of our countries, is going to alter or undermined the bonds that we have. boris: the special relationship between the united states and the united kingdom remain strong and vital. and we continue to advance new

mutual interests, and tackle shared challenges. anna: ryan chilcote has been watching this with interest. ryan joins us now. good morning to you. what more did carry have to say about -- kerry have to say about trade talks? ryan: a little bit of a nuance, s was saying, you can actually do a trade deal if you are part of the eu, the bloc. that is right. it is not easy. and there is another issue there, of course the u.s. cannot do a trade deal with the u.k. before it understands what the new relationship is going to be with the eu. mike forman haveh said this, if they still have

the ability to call the shots, or if the new relationship with the eu will keep that agreement in brussel. kerry maintains we can have a berlin or discussion. not like he is sort of kicking the can down the road, or smacking the brexiteers in the face. there is room to begin the process. and in fact, it already has started. we know that mike froman has spoke with the administrator. but you know, clearly there is already a conversation, just a they cannot do anything in ink yet. manus: we know what obama's message was that we go to the back of the cue. that america brought into the country before the referendum. boris johnson, the theater these we just saw there, he was at the foreign minister's on monday. u.s. and you can relationship,

housetrained was it to see boris johnson talking about foreign policy in the middle east. not something we're used to seeing impaired we see him coming down on a rip cord, holding flags. i think a lot of reporters on the difficult. that was clear during the press conference. he could not get away from questions about his gaffes. at one point during the brexit campaign, he said that it was president obama's part kenyan ancestry, why he was saying bad things about the u.k. and why they needed to stay in the eu. he calls hillary clinton a sadistic nurse in a mental institution, going into this. and he was asked about both of those yesterday. and he said, always comical boris, of the insults that he made, way too long to make an apology. everybody have misconstrued what he meant to say in the first case. but he made a go at it.

he made an effort to appear as an international statesman. and i think that is really important. there is a message here, of the u.k. is trying to get out, we want to appear like a global power outside of the eu. so boris johnson is on his way to the states to talk about the islamic state, at everybody at yesterday's talks, boris, john kerry, and also the saudi foreign minister, uae foreign minister, all of them in brussels with me, and the day before yesterday, the governor playing and flew from brussels to london, so the u.k. to make the point that we matter. it is not only brussels and more. anna: and the airplanes made it very ryan: boris had trouble getting off the ground. there was questions how far it will go. a little bit like john kerry yesterday. everybody in the landscape is having trouble. john kerry working in for his first meeting with theresa may, slammed his head against the door. [laughter]

anna: not that kind of headache. ryan: better than almost crashing. manus: boris johnson coming to 10 dowling street, that special relationship. [laughter] anna: ryan chilcote with the latest on the translating policy. the european head of global market research at the bank of mitsubishi still with us. this theater around trade talk, we are looking at the imf dropping global growth estimate, down to 3.1%. it is a small piece of the pie. is it shrinking after the straight deals? meanwhile, the pie is shrinking? going forwardly, we moved further down the road of protectionism. that hit international trade more, the volume of trade globally has been basically trending weaker, since it in 2010. so there is a real need to turn around. so you know, i think certainly the imf figures there is really

nothing hugely catastrophic. although the downgrade for the u.k. was the most significant one of the major economies. manus: let a circle back. there are headwinds in emerging markets. when you sat down on the set does before 6:00 a.m., we checked where the dollar-lira was. this is the interesting point. just a little bit away from the record low. this is the chart that yousef was using your we went to rip the currency. currency,xt for the one of the worst performing over the last five days, that and the argentinian peso. is it purely political? derek: yes, an awful lot of what is negative about the moment, and even before the attempted coup, was the political risk. that really came to the fore after the resignation back in the beginning of may of the front minister. and that change the investor

focus, much more significant on policy. focus, much more significant on policy. the consensus of the market was that, i think, obviously given what happened during the obviously given what happened during the weekend, we will have to change that considerably. i go back to what i said about the pound earlier. this is another country, obviously a lot of differences, but they both have substantial accounts. and that brings this into context, on the course of what is happening globally, my view is that the global environment is not going to remain as favorable as it is now. and that means the lira comes even more pressure. anna: on the kindness of strangers. compare turkey. on the one hand, you might expect em to expand on the coattails of turkey. but those looking to leave might go elsewhere. where do you see that story heading? derek: again, a lot of what happened in terms of the

fallout, the depreciation of these currencies, was a big part related to commodities. therefore, a very important story on what is happening in china. and the other element was monetary policy in the u.s. and again, i go back to why i'm not particularly positive. and i think we go into more volatile unfavorable market conditions, because i think both of those stories are going to change. now, perhaps the fed story is changing already, starting to see the markets come back to the fed raising rates this year. just cannot buy into this idea that we're about to see this kind of sustained improvement in the data that we have been having over the last month or two. and i think it is stimulus-related. but the impact of stiglitz is becoming less and less. manus: that is the thing. yuan.ck up the dollar- i have a basket. this is the worst were on record. they got away with it. they managed to devalue, and

nobody looked, because we were far too busy looking for the one-month volatility on cable. but this is significant. the basket just seems to be settling down. if you are going to review your lira trade, and you are not come as about global stiglitz and chinese to kilis, where are you in terms of the yuan? derek: i think it will break 7. i think that is the story for the second half of this year. you know, it is incredible that this is happening all without any kind of focus on china. i think partly perhaps it is the communication that is better, that was after the initial period of evaluation in august of last year. anna: seems to be a few themes on the dollar strength perhaps to talk about. enny stay with us. manus: up next, we're going to

have to cleveland, ohio. it is day three of the u.s. republican convention. and we checked in on u.s. futures ahead of the jobs data, on the month of the eu referendum. later in the day, we speak to sap ceo bill mcdermott. this is bloomberg. ♪

anna: welcome back. n.50 in london and cleveland, republicans gathering for the convention. donald trump has told supporters he is going all the way, after officially securing the republican president nomination. his team has been looking to get the convention back on track, following accusations of plagiarism and his wife's

speech. he spoke via video, saying this is just beginning. mr. trump: together, we have seen historic results, with the largest vote total in the history of the republican party. this is a movement. but we have to go all the way. margaretoomberg's joins us from the national convention in cleveland. the to see you. tell me this. did day two get back on track. his son took them over the top. there was a mock trial. very theatrical. margaret: it was very theatrical. and they are hoping this begins the turn it all around. of course, opening night and most of the day that followed were really preoccupied with the controversy over whether melania trump had plagiarized michelle obama. n foror distractio for

donald trump. emily began to see a night two, both the consolidation against hillary clinton, which may help to unify. and also, a very heartwarming moment where donald trump's r.,ldren, led by donald, j took in over the top. ald: it is my honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top in the delegate count tonight, with 89 delegates. and another six for john kasich. congratulations, dad. we love you. yeah, so there you have it. anna: hearing from his son, very excited. what do we expect on day three? margaret: so, the third day is really all about buildup to the fourth day, which is donald

trump's big speech day. we will see his vice presidential pick, who is now secured his nomination as vp, mike pence, governor of indiana. but we might see is the tying up of loose ends, with aggressive rivals. ted cruz, and by video, marco rubio. both senators who look to secure the nominee himself, now trying to go at hillary clinton. manus: our senior white house in cleveland. derek halpenny's lead researcher at bank mitsubishi. i just love the way that americans do president elections. i will take you back to something slightly more dry, which is we are next. you are skeptical about the euro growth, and u.s. growth. group economic, this is the highest since 2014 -- anna: 2015.

manus: it is all going well in the u.s. trend growth is 2%. we had one rate hike. brexit was annoying. no worry. all good in the u.s. derek: obviously, the data has been very good. in particular on the consumer side, real gdp could be north of 3% in q2, mainly driven by consumption, which could be over 4%. personal consumption growth of that magnitude is unsustainable. and, you know, if you look at that chart, every time you have a surge like that, it does tend to retrace. in other words, it is unsustainable. and i do think that the second half of the year, we have just been watching the trump convention. there is going to be, i think undoubtedly, some concerns with regard to the political outlook.

policies that you would argue are certainly dollar-positive, in terms of his view on the federal reserve, removing janet yellen from the chair. you know, that could be argued that quantitative easing concern to be something from the past, could be a tighter fed policy going forward. also, tax policy for the potential of repatriation from abroad. he is spoken of that. and that money back to the head there are you know, dollar-positive elements from his policies. but looking at his policies, they are all over the place. there is so much we do not know. and i do think the uncertainty of that would trump the potential dollar-positive. manus: excuse the pun. anna: derek, thanks for spending the last hour with a. great to get your views. nny.k halpe manus: it is may's big day.

to see the ftse crash down. there is a fundamental reason why securities have been revalued, and that is purely currency. from the point of view of the currency itself, at these levels, it has probably done the majority of what it needs to. it's a question of, have the other currencies been able to catch up? anna:anna: what do we expect to see from theresa may on her reappear into her -- european tour? one of the first trips you would make would be to berlin because of the importance of that trade relationship. emma: she's not sending boris johnson. she is doing it herself. obviously, there can't be nitty-gritty negotiations at this stage. merkel has been clear on that. if each of them comes away with a sense that the other is a woman they can do business with,
