endorsement last night. president obama: and that is why i can say with confidence, there has never been a man or woman -- not me, not bill -- nobody. nobody more qualified than hillary clinton to serve as president of the united states of america. clinton joined the president on stage after the endorsement and they left to loud applause. bloomberg is the parent of bloomberg tv. turkey's president has stepped up the crackdown against the military in the wake of the .ailed coup turkey shutdown 131 media organizations. theresa may is back on the road today seeking allies for the

5:05 am
it borders off euro responsibility and that is one of your themes in going to zurich, to see how european banks are dealing with the political economics of the continent. yes.ine: you are right. i was looking on the plane over interesting to research. it reminded me that if you looked at the yield on swiss government bonds, anything from 40 years below is in negative territory. so again, it is a bit of the crazy world that we are living with in the moment. let's get more on the fed and central banks. magnus, senior economic adviser. you are in london and i am in zurich, great to have you on the program. what did we learn from the fed yesterday?
5:06 am
what specific factors they are looking at? george: what i took from it is had the things that they previously been looking at and listing as reasons for not raising interest rates didn't seem to be as significant now. so in a way, it is a clearer vista or they think it is a clearer be stuck where the there have been ones from china. but they have failed to materialize so the focus is on the economy and the employee might -- the employment numbers. may now looks like it was an operation. so the way i looked at it is "as you were." and maybe in september or later this year. at bond: when you look
5:07 am
yields across the world, what does that tell us? focus on inflation? well, this is a story that we have become familiar with for a long time. in marketu know -- talk, this is really about the absence of inflation and the inability of central banks to drive higher inflation in macro .conomic so, this is kind of where we are and i don't think anything is changing about that at the moment. although i do think that things are stirring.
5:08 am
and may surprise us over the next year or two. i'm not saying this is imminent in the next month or two. but if you look in canada and japan to portion to europe and most likely, to the united elected,hoever is things are beginning to stir in response to extraordinary political developments. populism, ifeak of you want to put it that way. and i think we should take notice of that, and what that might mean. tom: pc the political developments and to dovetail on the theory. now, or a theory right is it so ad hoc? i don't understand the foundational theory that leads to reflation. is it out there? werge: in textbook terms, if
5:09 am
diagnose the world's ailments correctly, as secular stagnation, which is otherwise, the excess of savings over investment, then, the policy rule book says we have to do something to spur investment or minimizeing down the reasons why companies save money. that the extent governments may look rich -- governments may leverage their balance sheets more than they have done and start to sanction higher deficits or rigor infrastructure investments, yes. that is the foundation. tom: what would be the outcome of moderately higher interest rates to signal to credit suisse -- what would be
5:10 am
the outcome of a modest rate increase? george: i think they would welcome it to the extent that maybe a steeper yield curve evolving as a consequence of higher expert patients. modestly higher interest rates. to the extent that we have begun to digest that the negative interest rates and qe regime is something that is on -- that is undermining the models of banks and industry models, the industry would probably welcome it. nobody would want to welcome an exceptional or strong hike in interest rates in a crisis. but actually, some modest pickup in interest rates is not something that we should be frightened of, particularly in the context of how it happened. tom: george magnus is here with

5:15 am
months into the job and he has now been on the job 13 months and this is the first time that he surprised markets on the upside. i talked to him about how the execution was going and about cost cuts. >> cost control. it is the first time that we see our actual absolute costs going down. $4.3 million and that his deep. in the way that the bank is operating, we have a currency meeting over this transformation. and we see the beginning. francine: credit suisse shares are up. let's get to one of our banking experts in london. our team leader for finance in the u k, michael moore. great to have you here on the program.
5:16 am
when i spoke earlier, he was optimistic. he was quite pleased with the results but he said it is the first step is it will be tough for this bank and all swiss banks. michael: yes, i think you're seeing a similar story at credit suisse than what you saw at deutsche bank yesterday. on the cost side and the capital picture. credit suisse seemed to make progress on both. about the progress on absolute costs cutting down. and they brought the capital ratio up to 11.8%. higher than many of them had expected. ÷w&3p+ are starting to see progress from the turnaround. and maybe a bit quicker than deutsche bank. tom: i will put the credit suisse chart up here on the bloomberg. excuse me and it is the basic idea of another troubled bank.
5:17 am
the scope and scale is not talked about enough. credits chris will do $2.5 and something healthy like a healthy deutsche bank or jpmorgan will do more. is he managing this beast forward for merger? not sure.'m he's talked about not wanting to sell the bank and not operating under that assumption but -- wenly, we are greeted are grading on a curve. they are trading at a quarter or value.imes book so the profitability picture continues to not look good. revenue, even though they had a surprise profit for the revenue, it was down 16%.
5:18 am
i think they are just looking for nuggets of positivity. tom: nuggets of positivity. michael moore, within the nuggets ofñi positivity, who wod they merge with? is there cross-border mergers in mind what does the team say? michael: not someone who jumps out in an obvious point because of a regulatory question. i don't think swiss regulators would like a bigger bank. increaseen trying to capital requirements and make them less the stomach. there is not a ton of appetite there. the regulatory question is the biggest one on any kind of major bank deal.
5:19 am
one of the questions that shareholders or analysts had is -- are we sure this is enough? do we think credit suisse will need more capital? given that they are better than expected, does the market think that they can keep to their targets and they will need to go back to investors for more money? michael: well, they certainly showed progress on that front. thatt makes it more likely they can stick to the targets. investors will be looking at the leverage ratio, which was not as positive of a story. it was relatively flat and the in talked about at improving the second half of the year. thewe are still waiting for regulators on what the minimum will be for the european banks.
5:20 am
the u.s. regulators have set a there is still talk of europe increasing the minimum. so if that happens it may put more pressure on them to put -- to move faster. michael moore, in london with european banking. let me do a data check. between janet yellen and kuroda, risk on. next hour. in the ♪

5:25 am
right? michael: oh, that is what they ae talking about as possibility. and as you can see, you get more paying for the buck -- the nikkei. -- that is when you have fiscal spending. a may get a monetary package. there are three choices. lower interest rates, to buy different stuff like real estate japanese additional bonds. tom: let's back up. is he independent? he is.: he doesn't want to do the helicopter money you think about where they coordinate but this is what is likely to happen. the negative interest rates went over badly with the market so he might not want to do that. butan buy additional stuff it is getting harder for him to do the qe and buying. tom: another chart? michael: how much do they own?
5:26 am
and throw in what insurance companies and pension funds own, more than 50% of the government bond market is owned -- tom: what is the white line? michael: the bank of japan. so they have a liquidity problem if they keep buying. tom: what will yen do after the meeting? michael: it depends on how much stimulus you get. if you had a lot of monetary stimulus, it may weaken. valuableael mckee, a briefing. we will talk about this in a bit. on the next hour on monetary policy, richard clarida. ♪

taylor: president obama says no one has been more qualified to sit in the oval office than hillary clinton. president made his case for clinton. he took a number of shots at donald trump. pres. obama: we are not fragile. we are not frightful. from aer does not come self-declared savior promising he can restore order as long as we do things his way. we do not look to be ruled. taylor: the two walked off stage together. called donalderg trump risky, reckless, and a radical choice. angela merkel is ending her vacation earlier after a rash of violent attacks.
5:31 am
in japan, plenty of questions about the prime minister's plan.ic about one fourth includes actual spending according to a person familiar with the matter. another quarter of the package would be financing for projects in state-run companies. all they has yet to offer a breakdown of the plan. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more -- countries. i am taylor riggs. tom: we would love to give you -- that can get it done. ed morris and richard claret and our next hour. right now, a special treat. george magness with decades of watching monetary theorists theorize and apply the wisdom. -- isthe bank of japan the bank of japan flying blind?
5:32 am
george: i think they have a plan. i think it is a plan which was greeted with shock and all when it was announced. the efficiency of what the bank of japan is doing is diminishing overtime. economist mckee, your basically said in the last options to cut negative interest rates even more negative. it has an option to increase the size of its government bond purchases, but there is a diminishing supply of new government bonds coming out, unless there is a big fiscal package. buy other assets like exchange traded funds and real estate funds and so on. it does not really add up to much, to be honest. unless it is done in conjunction government is expected to announce.
5:33 am
that may or may not be a disappointment. .om: bring up this chart this is one of my earliest charts. the bernanke speech chart. bernanke gave a speech election in the japanese on reflation. the goal is to get back to the glide path of the red line, which was inflation. you can see the failure of japan, the deflator of their gdp has rolled over. what is sad is the faintest tweet of reflation with abenomics. they do not need an arrow. they need a cultural transformation. it is. we live in hope the abe government will announce something credible. as mike mckee said, what people are hearing, a small proportion
5:34 am
of at ¥28 trillion or $267 billion is going to be new money or new stimulus. listed companies are sitting on cash pile on their balance sheets equivalent to about 2/5 of their gdp. if the government could really throughhat cash corporate governance changes, imagine what that might do for spending and possibly for wages. the arrow that the government, that everyone is willing the japanese government to fire or shoot is not in the realms of the bank of japan or even a loan program to basically deliver. this, ifnment could do only it had the bottle to act. francine the clock is in zurich. francine?
5:35 am
francine: i spoke earlier today ceo afterredit suisse they reported earnings that beat estimates. this is an important day for the ceo, because since he has been in charge of the bank, he has had trouble after trouble. as strategy wasn't executed quickly as shareholders wanted. today is the first day he seemed pleased with what he has achieved so far, but only said it was a first step. we talked about what janet yellen cannot cannot do to make his life easier and the ipo of part of his swiss bank. we have been very consistent in saying that we do not need to raise capital. we have been very clear. we raised 6 billion. we have the highest ratio we have ever had at 11.8%. we can pull many levers to drive it forward. -- so, we could do about
5:36 am
you never want to -- we have been in a reasonable range of outcomes. we are in a perfectly adequate capital position. francine: for the swiss unit ipo, this will be in the second half of 2017? >> markets permitting. it is a deep, strategic move. we love our bank. we think it is a crown jewel, a phenomenal asset. what we want to do with this ipo is to get the markets to fully recognize the value of our assets, which is a very good bank and the wealthiest economy in the world. it is a powerful ipo which will drive -- for our shareholders. we want to keep 80% of ownership and keep control of what is one
5:37 am
of our best assets. janet yellen raises rates sooner than they markets expect, is that good for banks? >> overall, yes. francine: overall, he was positive. he says this is a good first step, but talks about unsupportive markets and the fact that the macro environment will remain tough for the years to come. let's get more on the swiss banks. the european banking landscape in general. let's get to david. great to have you on the program. when you look at european banking, it is a mess. if you are in america, you say they should have started restructuring quickly. >> i have seen the strategy is paying off. -- banks are a bit different than other european banks.
5:38 am
-- i have seen the growth and asset management. i was opposed to -- last quarter. capital ratio value is important. there is a small improvement. it is a good sign. it means they might not -- ipo be positivet would overall. i am happy about the result of credit suisse, but we are not out of the woods yet. francine: when you speak to analysts, they say they worry about the capital raising. maybe there is an extra day we don't worry about. a littlee to worry about these write-downs? the unwinding of these risky positions? we hope that may be we will see a bit more, even though the limitation of the stress giving going to -- in the full picture.
5:39 am
from what i have seen, they have been having more than 50% of these activities. many other banks are doing the same. i think it is under way. only time can tell whether they will be on the right strategy. now.have a strategy they are executing it now. let's wait. francine: there are rumors they are waiting for the bank to be taken over by someone bigger. does that make sense? he has told me that is not the plan. no.d: i would say it is unlikely that there will be a possible merger of the two biggest banks in switzerland. much depends on how it is restructured. having -- of the universal bank, -- that is one of the competitive advantages of assetnk, playing on the management card. down the road, anything could happen.
5:40 am
francine: is that outflows, capital, something more fundamental? >> i am looking at three things. execution of the strategy, the capital is extremely important, but also inflows. it is the relation of whether will pay off or not. francine: thank you for joining us. that was the robert kennedy college dean. looking at banks, janet yellen, looking at what yen is doing. round up ofll european earnings and what they are saying and telling us about impact on the u.k. economy. this is bloomberg. ♪

tom: good morning. thrilled you are with us. george magnus. i want to read one of the charts we just did. i did this over a decade ago. may 31, 2003, ben bernanke, some thoughts on monetary policy. there is a chart. it is the demand by governor japan grow up and briefly. he wanted them to move along the green arrow to briefly back thatds the glide path their deflator showed over the years. it did not happen. oft is the scope and scale combined fiscal and monetary stimulus japan needs to get back
5:44 am
along that green arrow? this is a political question. the scope to blend easy money with fiscal policy. helicopter money, the colloquial term for this, it is fiscal policy by another name. what happens is the central bank directly finances public expenditure or tax cuts, or both. scope for fiscal and monetary policy, to create a much more aggressively reflation airy environment. it is pretty big. whenheld the japanese back bernanke made that exultation and still, we continuously are
5:45 am
bombed by that. political decision to allow that to happen. workcan helicopter money in an age of oversupply? we talk about oversupply , but the two-handed economist will always tell you oversupply is inadequate demand. in and of itself, it is a good thing. theously, it does not solve structural problems.
5:46 am
these things cannot be changed by helicopter money. you need to have a good demand platform in order to have these supply-side policies to gain traction. francine: when you look at markets such as treasuries, are we nearing the end of the bull market bubble? define near. you are not going to make money in the bond market. you probably are. particularly giving the policies that banks want to pursue. me -- have we reached deflation, to the extent it has been influential, bond has helped drive yields down this far, i think we
5:47 am
have reached that point. politically, things are staring -- are stirring and i think public policy will look different over the coming year or three. i think, at the risk of being hostage to fortune, this is as good as it gets. tom: if we trace our foreign --hange, let's start with there has to be currency adjustment with real or pseudo- helicopter money. what do you assume the yen will do? if we see concerted action by the authorities in japan.
5:48 am
george: the monetary picture will be more decisive than the fiscal picture. let's say there is an upside surprise in terms of what the bank of japan announces. the yen will go down further. it is equally the case, if there is a home low response, the bank of japan hasn't done that much .ifference sadly for japan, i think it will go the other way. tom: i greatly appreciate this. discussionte smart on the option bank of japan will have in the new york evening today. i am watching oil carefully. i am not going to call it yet. ed morrison in the next hour.

6:33 am
big changes fuel oil demand. , which wasnd supposed to be the lion's of demand growth in emerging markets, has flattened out for reasons that surprised a lot of people. the major demand is for gasoline jet fuel. no substitute there. ,urprisingly, propane butane, these are things that come about with natural gas production, we have a surge in lpg demand. that is not refinery driven. tom: we don't talk about the local key town until 7:00 a.m. this is an approximation of real oil, then adjusted for rising incomes over the many decades. pre-opec over to the left. the first surge in opec, the second surge.

the spike in the middle is persian gulf one. oil is cheap. the under lowing microeconomics state the gloom kicks. the people worried about $35 or a revisit below 20 nine dollars, what is their case? edward: it is a supply case. this is a supply driven market. we were misled by what happened in china in the last decade. this was a demand response to high prices that triggered, for the first time ever, the exploitation of deepwater and shale. the cost structure has gone down dramatically. it is a supply driven story we have to look out for and the case for much lower oil is saudi arabia confronting itself holding a standard asset long on something. what do you do with that? you pump. you are the lowest cost producer

in the world. that adds to the woes of the world. and richard, dovetail oecd -- edobal gloom on ad morse's world of oil. is he wrong? richard: i think we are consistent with the story that ed has told. we are in a muddle through world. i think now that we have had the three pricing of oil down into this range -- re-pricing of oil down into this range, it does become a net positive for the economy. our view is that oil in this range becomes a modest positive for the global outlook. francine: tom: overall -- overall, are we really
6:36 am
stuck in that oil price range of $40 or $50? could we see it going up? edward: the price range is unsustainable at the moment. you can't produce enough oil at $40 to meet global demand. we think we will see a drop of 1,300,000 barrels per day. at is going to lead to an inventory drop. it is going to lead to a massive -- it is going to require a massive change. we think the price is bound to go back to a $70 range. we are also living in a disruption brown world -- prone world for the oil driven
6:37 am
countries. the question for these opec countries under duress, libya, venezuela, nigeria, is how low is their production level going to go? how unexpected will a disruption be? we saw disruptions with the canadian fires -- disrupt supply, you get a pop of $10 for oil producers. tom: can saudi arabia -- francine: can saudi arabia still be the swing oil producer in 20 years? edward: they can if they go back to the short-term policy of being the market swing producer. they have said loud and clear that if they cut production, they are in danger of losing market share and not getting it back. that is the danger of this new world. unlikely in the next

five or eight years. tom: does the next president need a new energy policy? do we have an energy policy? edward: if you look at what the two candidates are saying, they are very different. donald trump says he is going to get rid of regulation and will curb the epa, he will open the keystone xl pipeline. it is a very different world from the environmentally driven platform that the democratic party has. tom: do you want to comment on this? where is our policy on hydrocarbons or energy? is it good that we don't have one? richard: essentially, the policy we have in place is at least 10 years old. there was a major energy bill in the mid to thousands. -- mid-2000's. that was before a lot of the technological innovation. it is probably a little bit stale right now. edward: last year, there was a

6:44 am
mood was a first mood of shock. i think a lot of people were frustrated and in awe. it is a little bit like washington dc. it is a little bit like donald trump being elected. like, what happened? i think the eu always goes through three phases. the first phase is crisis. the second phase is chaos. that is what we saw a little bit with the markets, with the currency, with the union of the united kingdom and the parties. the third phase is a suboptimal solution. i think we are looking right now at a suboptimal solution. francine: you still have insiders, i know you are talking to people. what will the final model actually look like in negotiations between the u.k. and the eu? mr. stubb: it is very difficult to say. you have to take things
