2:36 am
let's get straight to the latest in the market. we got david ingles standing by for us. you've got details on what has been happening in this session. yes he has it he is joining us from hong kong. david: we are talking about how a lot of these expectations in these price actions that we have seen so far. the markets are closed already in japan. driven by these expectations and sometimes conflicting reports out of tokyo as to the size and the timing of this fiscal stimulus. i have here a when you look at the 10 year yield a japan just to show you how low we got. it has been turned on its head. we are now pushing toward negative .30 on the tenure. you look at the two-year, five year, also pushing toward record lows. on the expectation that not only will we get fiscal stimulus but the boj come friday is expected
2:37 am
to announce maybe a doubling down. we will see what they announce. have a look at what the dollar yen -- at the dollar yen. if you extend this into a two day look, it's basically texas to103 .99 -- it takes us 103.99. 105.73 is your level right now. it is not just the top line on how large it is, but which part of that is actually called supplementary or incremental spending. negated if 25 -- nikkei 225 close like this. 16,000 6064 here. -- 16,006 under 64 here. -- 16,664 here. i am getting mixed up. asia is looking like this you
2:38 am
put living together, it is basically flat -- asia is looking like this. everything together, it is basically flat. the world could look totally different come friday afternoon. anna. anna: i will pick up from here. yes indeed. will the world looks different. for more on japan's stimulus package, we are joined by nicholas. nicholas, what do you anticipate in terms of fiscal stimulus first, there's so much in terms of reports. it has been -- it is had a big effect on the yen. >> everything i have heard from the government people is they are going to try and push through the biggest fiscal package they think they can get away with. exactly the same as the u.k. and u.s. and everywhere else. then after big number and you try to find out what they have going out of the government coffers. they have announced a number of
2:39 am
20 children -- i number of 28 trillion -- a number of ¥20 trillion. from what i am hearing, it is going to be overwhelmingly in construction. anna: and construction. in terms of fiscal stimulus, we have become used to monetary stimulus dust to a currency. keeping began under control has been a target for policymakers in japan for so long. what do we expect this size of fiscal stimulus to do for the currency in japan? nicholas: it depends and what the real final number is. ae yen is likely to take slide on this. necklace--caroline: nicolas, given that we have ¥20 trillion in terms of the physical side. let's turn our -- to the
2:40 am
monetary side here at your 20 monetary policy to inject or stimulus as most economists seem to. -- alas: there's a lot of lot of them seem to think the bank of japan -- there aren't any more monster by. if they do lose something, they will be firing the last bullet which would be buying etf's. once they have done so, they will open everyone up -- over -- they will open their moving up. my belief is probably they won't. thinking of economists they will move. that is probably in the price. the risk of return is if you does what they would expect, the market does nothing. if it doesn't, the markets will slip a little. we have been there before. here's a man who likes to surprise markets. anna: do you rule out any further cutting into further
2:41 am
negative territory and interest rates? necklace: the last time he did it, it was time very well. inflation swaps, you can see the whole thing started to fall apart immediately after he did that. he is really shocked that he thought it would help and the currency went the wrong way. inflation expectation collapsed after that, and he is not his old self. he has been called into element 37 times this year, more than any full year for a decade and a half. i think the chances are the pressures on him to that interest rates. the pressure is on to not cut interest rate any further. anna: helicopter money, potentially could he denied it earlier in a report with the bbc . he denied it will go into negative territory as well. nicholas: and when i spoke to at the boj says kuroda cannot
2:42 am
distance himself from talk of helicopter money in the form described by bernanke. it allior guy said to me depends on what you call helicopter money. since kuroda came to power, increasing government debt ¥106 trillion. increasing bank of japan holdings. they are monetizing at a rate of 240%. that sounds pretty close to helicopter money to me. they are doing it already. they are printing the money, now they just need to go out and spend some money. anna: it seems that is what a number of analysts are telling us. nicholas, thank you very much. up next, we will talk banking, to make profits evaporate as the trading slump and overall charges hit the bottom line. the market open, where watching
2:43 am
2:46 am
the bloomberg business flash. david: thanks anna. -- europe's biggest bank recorded net income, 1.2 8 billion euros. -- 1.20 8 billion euros. this is focusing down to a one-time gain that was not repeated. the bank repeated that it does aim to raise its dividend this year. on the move will be speaking with the chief financial officer at tenant like a.m. u.k. time -- at 10:00 a.m. u.k. time. jetss. passenger experience passenger delays. it took a one billion euro hit against the cost of fixing fawlty boxes. mark start deteriorating as

2:48 am
the last several years. david: that is your bloomberg business flash. caroline. caroline: which of banks profits have almost been -- deutsche bank's profits have almost been wiped out. the german bank reported income of 18 million euros. that is down from 17.96 million euros from a year earlier and is lost half of its market value over the last year. is michael moore. onlying to be expectations just -- it is a wide range of forecasts where we can see deutsche bank come in. the trading revenue has collapsed. ? when there was volatility in the market helping the other companies out there? michael: more -- michael: the ..s. banks posting gains
2:49 am
at third of its up was caused by them pulling out of certain businesses or getting out of some of the securitized businesses to try getting capital boost. another piece that may have been -- they talk about clients being spooked by all of the talk of deutsche bank being in trouble. people questioning deutsche's financial strengths and their capital levels. having so much talk about the bank and its issues seemed to force clients to take a step back. caroline: we're following the development on deutsche bank at cla the where we blog the ongoing events. this is ongoing in the sense that analysts have moved on to the q&a section of that, talking about capital at the bank. restructuring, a big thing. it has been the focus of the business. we talked last hour about john something -- is that
2:50 am
that is going to be put on today? michael: i think so. this is supposed to be the restructuring year. sustainably lower costs and higher capital levels. they made some chris -- some progress and they talk about cutting jobs in germany. the cost piece of it is there. now it is can they solve the capital piece of it? capital has been relatively flat for the last couple of quarters. they are looking at a couple of sales and businesses to boost the number. whether they can get that done this year, i think it will determine a lot of whether this restructuring year is a success. caroline: michael moore, think you very much indeed. we get the breaking news that deutsche bank will be around 11% around the end of the year it will be speak to another cfo in a moment. we'll be discussing the banks
2:51 am
2:53 am
2:54 am
the market -- the week -- we have seen the market [indiscernible] where we are seeing some headwinds [indiscernible] of course the building up of the impact of the terrorist attack and we see definitely a strong impact. >> that was pierpont swap speaking exclusively to bloomberg television following -- eroding all of the benefits of the weaker fuel prices. it lifted the second quarter profits, the status of europe's top tourist market really under threat as a result of the -- terrorismated incidents we have seen in france over recent months. the banking sector really a focus for us this morning.
2:55 am
beoline: we are going to keeping a close eye on italian lenders, german lenders, spanish lenders. we're going to be speaking to the cfo of staff and their. .- by santander expedia expectations and saying that -- beating expectations and saying they are going to be raising -- going to be keeping an eye on deutsche bank. lightading revenue being and we were discussing with michael moore that the reasoning behind that could be the bit of concern about the stability of the letter itself. people not wanting to do trades at the moment, put them back the trading revenue. unicredit as they mull the stock sales. now: just on the call right , a bit of a catch up on deutsche bank. talk about cost development, depending on i.t. and costs
2:56 am
2:59 am
caroline: welcome back. good morning and this is "on the move." i'm anna edwards, alongside caroline hyde in berlin. wearoline has your morning brief. caroline: tye -- the yen takes a dive after it is confirmed that fresh stimulus is on the way in japan. will it be enough to revive the world's third-largest economy. deutsche bank's profit evaporates as a trading slump and overall charges hit the bottom line. air profits drop.
3:00 am
, as the cheaper iphone saves the day. anna, we have the duty they close eye on what futures are doing. it is pointing to a green day at the moment across the board. we can see deutsche bank potentially in focus when looking at the dax. we are up .6% on the cac 40, similar for the dax. this is currently wei. on the ftse 100. france is pushing higher and air france is in focus. i want to look at the individual markets on the move. overall, we seem to be in the green when it comes to germany, france, and the u.k. anna: that seems to be the vibe we are getting in european
3:01 am
markets as we open up this morning's session. generally, that is not the impression you get from the stoxx 600. consumer discretionary stocks seem to be up by the most in .8%. of the sector, up .4%.stocks are up all of the major sectors are in positive territory, clearly one of the takeaways from this morning's early trade. let's get into the individual stock movers we have been tracking. deutsche bank, up .3%. john cryan saying deutsche bank needs to accelerate its cost-cutting. an overhaul of costs and trading area,n as a weak especially in comparison with what we saw from the united states. by 2.6%e-klm is up
3:02 am
deutsche bank going unchanged there. 4.3%.s up by those were impressive according to analysts over at barclays. some breaking news, caroline. caroline: we have been obsessing about this nintendo stock. pokemon go has been fueling some appetites, and some concerns. for the first quarter, we have not seen the implications of the pokemon go of session. we had first-quarter operating losses of more than 5 billion yen, double what expectations were. the expectations called for a 2.1 billion yen loss. first quarter sales came in at 62 billion yen, again shy of estimates. and they are booking an fx charge of 55 billion yen.
3:03 am
they are not yet able to show the positive reaction from pokemon go. we will see how those shares trade because it has been on a roller coaster since pokemon go has been obsessing the market action. anna: let's talk about the banking sector, but this time from a challenger perspective. andl revenue is up 63% deposits have increased 74% year on year. jeffries said the company is said to be profitable at the year end. turning us now is vernon hill, founder and chairman of metro bank. great to have you on the program, vernon. business, thethe highlights and how it has been developing recently. where do you stand as a business? how far through your ambitious growth agenda are you at metro bank? vernon: metro bank had another great quarter. as you said, our loans are up
3:04 am
110%. deposits are up 74%. over 800,000 people bank with us now. we are hardly in our first step of growth. this can be a major player over a very long period of time focusing on service and convenience in the banking world. anna: so, is jefferies right, vernon? we had just a small tax loss of 4 million pounds. vernon: yes, our guidance is, we will turn a profit in the second half of this year. and i believe the guidance is right on. anna: we spoke yesterday to the ceo of virgin money, another challenger bank. there are quite a few challenger banks out there. do you think this sector must consolidate?
3:05 am
vernon: actually, there are not that many banks in britain. remember, in america there are still 7000 different banks. here in britain, we have five major banks. there is a lot of room for major change. this is a market that needs to be changed. termsne: and in therefore, of the amount of people that will be moved over by the challenger banks, we are not going to see consolidation. how many more will you be pulling away from the larger competitors, rbs and lloyds for example? vernon: well, this last quarter, our deposits were bo osted by 74% and we have been growing at that rate are more since the bank started. we will see sustained growth for a very long periood of time in the commercial segment and in
3:06 am
the consumer segment as we give the british public a real choice. anna: tell us about your loan book, then. this is a business that has not been through a full credit cycle. how sure of the quality of the loan book can you be? vernon: you can never be 100% sure. this is the fifth new bank i have done from scratch and we have a loan book that is both consumer and commercial banking. frankly, we feel very confident about our loan book. caroline: loans are up 110% year on year. we will be speaking about the implications of brexit, next. up next, uncertainty abounds. we hear how businesses are coming to terms with the impact of the brexit vote. this is bloomberg. ♪
3:09 am
anna: welcome back to "on the move. 10 minutes into your trading day. france is outperforming. we are currently up .6% on the stoxx 600. the ftse is up 0.5%. let's have a little look now at how deutsche bank shares are trading down this morning after the company said its second-quarter profit was almost wiped out by a trading slump and overhaul charges. they are now concerned that
3:10 am
brexit could have impact on the business as well. for more, bloomberg's ryan chilcote joins us. we are hearing from bloomberg companies aplenty, ryan. what the deutsche bank have to say about the potential worries about losing the past rights, in particular? ryan: as a result, the investment bank and revenues did pped. they also said that as a result of a brexit, and the political negotiations, which will determine how much market impact as all has, they might have to impair or write down some of their assets. clearly, it is a very big deal. the context when talking about deutsche bank, you are talking about the bank that runs europe's biggest investment banks. secondly, this is the worst
3:11 am
valued investment bank out there, out of the world's nine biggest. clearly, they're concerned this is just another cloud out there on our already stormy outlook. anna: ryan, good morning. away from the banking sector, what are other companies br telling utelling us about brexi. ryan: we got a very buried response from companies -- we got a very varied response from companies today. some will see an impact because the dollar is stronger on the back of brexit, which will have consequences on their results. arm, talking about how 1/5 of th eir employees within the u.k. ar e eu citizens from outside the u.k. they are concerned about their ability to hire and retain up employees. one big theme is "no big deal just yet."
3:12 am
o, vallejo, which is a car parts maker, saying they only see an upside in the market out there, no negative trend from brexit. taylor wimpey, a company whose share price fell by almost 39% the day after brexit, well, they said things are not nearly as calamitous as some people thought they might be. so, you really have to look around to make comments about how companies see this. anna: let's pick up that theme with our guest. vernon hill is still with us. we were hearing from ryan there. some of the comments from corporate have been quite comforting on the brexit front, suggesting things to look quite as dire. wimpey accused us tooier of being
3:13 am
london-centric. >> this is consistent with market parameters. % probability of a rate cut and that is now down to 50%. the ultimate question is whether we will have a soft brexit or a hard frexit and so far, it seems like we are moving towards a soft brexit. also, the fact that they want to the a u.k. solution at negotiation table. caroline: so, let me go back to vernon hill. as a metro bank chairman, you are talking in your results about no change to customer behavior because of brexit, no impact on business flows. why? is it because they are just optimistic, as we heard from kokou there? why is this not affecting your bottom line?
3:14 am
vernon: it has just happened on the markets are trying to shift. we have seen no affect on our flow of new business, our credible, or our new business. maybe this will take some of the fraud of the high hand housing market. a personally, i don't see any change in the poor growth numbers in britain. caroline: let's dig in. you are not seeing any change, but what about the policy changes? every economist we speak with sees a rate cut. is that on making the bank's life harder when it comes to deposits? vernon: of course, we would like the yield curve to be higher. we would like it to be steeper. whether rates go down 1/10 or 1/4 does not change the outlook
3:15 am
for our bank. has the united the brexiteof e of development? vernon: an interesting question. from the political point of view, many see the brexit vote as similar to the trump phenomenon, a rebellion against the establishment. the investment community sees britain on sale. i have heard, this is my chance to invest even more in britain with the pound so low. anna: is that something you have seen as well, kokou? arm, definitely getting the headlines. and i know we have been running analysis before the brexit vote. kokou: i think this is more the case when it comes to ftse 100
3:16 am
companies with a lot of dollar revenues. it is interesting to see the performance of the large cap and the small cap. a lot of these companies are becoming a lot more attractive post brexit. caroline: vernon, has anybody approached your business? are you on sale? vernon: we are absolutely not on sale, and we are not going to be on sale. anna: just going back to comments we have heard from various businesses, including yours, vernon. i have a chart that shows the forecast for the u.k. economy. we have gdp figures coming out later today, but they are very backward looking, of course. analysts expect to see a drop in in gdp over the next two quarters. so, is it just that we are too close to the boat to see what vote to see what the damage will be on the economy? vernon: that is true, but some players can succeed
3:17 am
with a low gdp, and some can't. you can't paint it with a broad brush. everybody has their niche and learns to live in it. caroline: kokou, what about the policy was asking vernon about, the bank of england policy? you said, it might not be about bond buying, but about the regulation that must be changed. kokou: absolutely. one of the big challenges for central banks has been the diminishing returns of their monetary policy when it comes to negative interest rates for example, and the negative impact it has on currency. i think what mark carney has done is very interesting going into regulatory easing. he has taken down the capital requirements for banks by 0.5%,
3:18 am
which led to 160 billion pounds of lending capacity. this is probably the new thinking out of the box with monetary policy. caroline: vernon, how much lending have you been doing since the brexit vote, versus before? have you seen an uptick? has this been an opportunity for you? vernon: it has only been a couple weeks. we have not seen a huge change. our growing rates are going up, ntot down. remember, this is a very large market but a lot of market shares to take. i would say, it is pretty much the same as it was before the vote. see: what would you want to in terms of opportunities for regulatory change for your own bank, vernon? you think it is time to the less than the capital desire for these smaller banks?
3:19 am
how could brexit be a positive element for you in terms of the negotiations theresa may is going into at the moment? vernon: the capital burden on the smaller banks is much harder than it is on the larger banks. the government has made several statements about it. they are going to adjust the capital requirements to make it more fair for the newer and smaller banks. that is the number one big change we need. anna: metro bank's chairman, vernon hill joining us. gbo-bloua stays with us. this is bloomberg. ♪
3:22 am
anna: welcome back to "on the move." a glorious day here in berlin. the dax is up .8%. deutsche bank is tugging this particular index lower as the rest of the overall market sentiment tends to be quite bullish. the second quarter profit, just a measly 18 million euros. they are morning that people might be backing away witfrom trading. moving on to right move, up 8%.
3:23 am
they say july trading are very strong. brexit, what brexit? airfrance-klm had to do with terrorist attacks and the impact on consumer sentiments, but it does seem to be trading higher this morning. some reprieve for this particular airline, anna. anna:. about the macro agenda. w-- let's talk about the macro agenda. we cannot forget that we have a rate decision today. keeping rates low "has unintended consequences." >> the answer to high growth in financial stability is not in the hands of the fed, but of the other policymakers. fed continues with interest rates being too low it risks unintended consequences.
3:24 am
markets however, see no chance of a market hiking this time around. still with us, kokou agbo-blous. kokou, if you look at the work function on bloomberg, you can see there is not yet a 50% chance of a rate hike being priced in this year by markets. not yet, 49%, though. has been moving up steadily and has changed a lot since june 24. kokou: absolutely. many do not expect a rate hike this year. they do however, expect two rate hikes next year. this is ultimately, because of all of the banner events. when you look at the italian referendum, for example. but you also have the u.s. election, which could be a catalyst for more volatility. the fed is essentially telling us they will take their time before going into a full and aggressive rate hiking cycle.
3:25 am
caroline: as head of flow strategy, give me a sense of the interesting trades you have surrounding the federal reserve and surrounding the united states. is the dollar going to be pushing higher and where do we move in terms of assets? kokou: i think our ultimate view is that the u.s. economy is reaching the end of its business cycle. we are expecting a recession to hit the u.s. economy within two years. as a result, we are buying european equities and japanese equities. and when and comes to u.s. equities, we do not think that the share buyback that has been driving u.s. shares is likely to persist. therefore, owning european equities against u.s. equities is one of the trades we advocate going into the next six months. anna: does that reflect optimism around the earnings story as well, kokou?
3:26 am
kokou: it does reflect the fact that a lot of the stimulus by central banks have been the driver of financial assets. the same recipe should ultimately lead to the same results in the has been the trading strategy for the last five years. anna: you mentioned just before that the federal reserve is taking a very global perspective, and maybe even looking at the italian banking crisis. risksre the key two facing the economy, and where should we go in terms of italy in particular? kokou: italy is a very interesting story because the nonperforming loans are worth 360 billion euros, and the bulk of them are marked on $.40 on the dollar. you are potentially talking about 372 billion euros of markdowns.

3:31 am
demand for credit has been hitting the bottom line. overall, it is sticking to raising the dividend and earnings for this year. we are now joined by jose garcia cantera. he is the chief financial officer of santander, turning us live from madrid. thank you for joining us on the show this morning. talk to us about the challenges santander faces. the compression you face in the overall interest rate. how are you changing the business to tackle this? jose: good morning. in our case, given the well diversified portfolio of banks that we manage between emerging markets and developed markets, most of the pressure is coming in europe, particularly in spain and in the u.k. but we have been able to compensate most of the pressure with very good performance in emerging markets, particularly in brazil and mexico.
3:32 am
anna: brazil, a real area of growth for you at the moment. talk to us about the challenges in europe at the moment. you have a significant presence in the united kingdom. how has the vote changed your business? are you worried about the long-term performance for santander? jose: well, has been just a month after the referendum. i think it is fairly early to tell what the long-term impact will be. so far, we have seen no impact whatsoever in the evolution of consumer loans, or the use of credit cards. we have been a little bit affected in the mortgage portfolio. though, remember there was a change in the first quarter. tois very difficult to know what extent it was related or not. longer term, we need to see what
3:33 am
the world economy does and what interest rates will be. obviously, we are highly committed to the u.k. we think the adjustment will be temporary. in any case, we continue to strive to gain market shares and have a stronger presence in the u.k. anna: with the low interest rate environment in mind, what message do you have for the bank of england as it considers whether to cut interest rates in early august? jose: well, i think, in our case, again, we are going to be -- if interest rates were to go down, that would affect our business in the enear term. however, what we are much more interested in is the whole evolution of the economy. we will do well if the u.k. economy does well. so, that is what we will be looking at. anna: the plans have you made, can you tell us, in terms of
3:34 am
