2:35 am
deutsche bank is being felt around the world as banking stocks tumble. he was traded deutsche bank shares, the adr closed at a record low yesterday. some hedge funds have moved to reduce their exposure to the german lender. that is the one week chart. the adr smashed overnight. we are expecting a similar story in europe. stocks are sharply lower. let's get to our guest in the studio, a chief investment officer. it is now the time for authority to step in and provide clarity to the market? just: it feels early. yet. not panic mode the story around deutsche is gripping the markets. we have seen calm for the last few weeks and months, so it does not take much to shake sentiment. it feels a little too early, but if this carries on, they will have to step in. caroline: if we're talking about
2:36 am
the ecb or germany -- is it time for the u.s. department of justice to make clear just how big the fight -- the fine will be? that would let us know the capital issues at stake for deutsche. is ammed: in essence, this global problem, even though it is a german bank. if it does go down or suffer severe losses, this will shake the banking sector globally. so the authorities in europe or the u.s. need to look at this matter very closely. ay: if deutsche does have capital concern -- we need to be very clear separating liquidity and a capital position. the bank is making clear it has no real issue on either. market is certainly speculating about both. who do you turn to? angela merkel saying, do not look at us. the political applications in italy and elsewhere. who do you turn to if you are john cryan and you have to make this happen? you have a 0.2 something price-to-book. what are you going to do? mouhammed: you have three
2:37 am
parties you can go to. the first is the european central bank, making sure you yourthe liquidity to keep bank afloat. the second is obviously the government. you've your strong voices saying, we will not bail you out, but you can call the bluff. if the german economy goes down, so does the eurozone. the third is look at private investors. there are other institutions that could cut risk to the bank, as we saw in 2008. draw aing you to dissension between what we invest in at deutsche, credit versus equities? littledit looks a vulnerable right now. if authorities are going to step up, it will be to the benefit of the credit holders. you wonder if that is true of the italian banks. if deutsche needs help, the expectation is italian authorities will be banging on the door, saying, we want to do
2:38 am
that as well. mouhammed: there would be a long would wantnks that something. obviously, equity is suffering in the eye of the storm, but their credit is suffering quite specifically. we have seen their credit default swaps widening quite aggressively. leveragedget, it is a bank. it has a lot of debt. give us a sense of the systemic issue. , chief investment officer. we see all banks being dragged down. its assets are more than half of the german gdp. the imf points out in june that it may be the biggest globalutor to risk among systemic banks. is it time to get out of all your banking exposure? mouhammed: we have been telling clients to stay calm during this period. deutsche is the eye of the storm and other banks will trade in a similar fashion.
2:39 am
there is indiscriminate selling in times like this. that is not to say all banks are unhealthy. a lot of banks have recapitalized. a lot of banks have reformed their business models. we are still encouraging clients to look for that value and invest in it. guy: you have to be selective. you look at the books around weope, and you realize that are probably not fully through the process we need to get through in terms of providing increasing tranches of capital, which is going to get sucked up and spat out in terms of the way the npl process works. not there yet. the u.s. had an accelerated process it went through. europe is dragging it out bit by bit. mouhammed: your point about the collapse of the share price -- actually, it is one of the most distressed and undervalued sectors in the world. you have to be selective. you have to look at high-quality institutions, which is important in times like this. but there is a lot of value which could harvest strong
2:40 am
returns. you have to be selective. guy: pick your moments as well. he is here for an hour. coming up, inflation as the boj scratches its head. what is left to do in the world's biggest economy? german banks -- we look at deutsche shares and u.s. trade. we will talk about commerzbank as well. cover oil, indecision, and the last quarter of 2016. all of that is coming up. ♪

2:43 am
guy: 8:42 in frankfurt. let's see your bloomberg is fast -- business flash. sebastian: thousands of job cuts , according to a dutch newspaper , quoting unidentified people with knowledge of the matter. this may generate billions of euros in savings. the largest lender in the netherlands employees about 52,000 people. deal withnearing a another airline. the companies are in talks for at least 30 wide-body jets. it would be valued at $6.7 billion, catalog price, although
2:44 am
usually airlines negotiate discounts. hass fargo ceo john stumpf endured a second day of accusations from lawmakers over the bank scandal. argued the bank is holding leaders accountable after finding about 2 million accounts were created without customer authorization. the wells fargo board says it will oversee an internal review into what happened. brexit related losses and the condition to making new investments. bloomberg, a ceo said further investment decisions will depend on clarifying the u.k. relationship with the eu. they were responsible for one in three cars built in the u.k. this year. that is your bloomberg business flash. guy: i want to take you to what is happening ahead of the open. we are now 15 minutes away. what we have got is a very soft picture. it is being driven out of the
2:45 am
states. it is being driven, really, out of europe. at the moment, the stoxx 50 down 1.6 percent. germany is down 1.6% as well. where are waiting on numbers for french cpi. i will just wait for that number to hit. we should be getting a number any second now. as negatively not as we may be postulated it would be. the survey was for month on month of -0.3. we are a little better when it comes to the month on month number for french cpi. however, the same is not true in japan. the bad news he's coming for the boj. consumer prices fell for the sake straight month and households cut spending in september. that was before the new easing measures were announced. which are being
2:46 am
released -- let us get our north asia economy editor possibly on all this. the data, the minutes -- everything is highlighting the challenge the boj faces. >> that is right. the bank of japan is trying to inflationeople that is going away. they have been trying to convince them of that for a while. it is obviously hard to do that when prices are falling every month. that is the point that governor himself,s made probably unhappily, a number of times in recent weeks. there is not look like going to be any relief for them anytime soon. economists are pointing toward more of the same. what do we get from the accounts?
2:47 am
in the opinions released this morning from the most recent monetary policy meeting, there were not a lot of surprises. wasas clear the boj concerned about the impact of the policies on financial institutions and their profitability, and how that might impact lending. in addition, they also made the point that they need help from the government, that they need structural reforms to the raise japan's potential growth rate, if they are going to turn around and get sustainable growth. guy: great stuff. thank you very much. joining us on what is happening with the boj. faith in the boj possibility to deliver a higher level of inflation to protect the economy? mouhammed: to some degree, the numbers speak for themselves. they have not been able to
2:48 am
deliver the necessary inflation that they have been seeking for the past few years. from that perspective, there is a loss of credibility even as they swing more and more at this problem. caroline: how much to relay the blame on the boj for imposing negative rates, dragging down the profitability of the banks? i am with you keep on with banks, because i have deutsche bank behind me. is it the central bank policy that hurts them the most, or as the ecb president said, is it something else? mouhammed: the policymakers, to some degree, do not have any choice. they have to rescue their economy. they are carrying the ball of the sack in terms of the economic challenges. from that perspective, perhaps negative rates put some challenges on the banking system. the banks need to reform. reform, to cut jobs, maybe reconsider their business models so you can see a
2:49 am
final production surge in the economy. in the meantime, it is going to continue to be challenging. keep getting into bond proxies, illiquid assets. this is going to continue for a long time. the idea of transforming fiscal policy sounds great, but the central banks keep doing the heavy lifting. we are going to continue to see rates being pushed lower, or whatever it is. the trade is, i need to find some yield somewhere. mouhammed: the central banks are clearly continuing to expand their programs. know,nk of japan, as you recently went to the 10 year yield, trying to keep that as close to zero as possible to create stimulus in the economy. in terms of what investors have invested, there is a continued hunt for yield, but it does come with risks. try to keep the balance between risk and reward, in the fragile environment we are in now. we have often seen the
2:50 am
boj being the first to go and others copying. we do see the ecb tackling yields directly or exchange traded funds waiting into stock purchases as well? mouhammed: they may need to go down that path, but they have a slightly different environment right now. they are actually seeing a pickup in inflation. we looked at the french data just now. the german inflation data came in stronger than expected. actually, they may not need to do that. what they have in place may be sufficient. in inflation continues, they may not need to do more than they are already doing. guy: we are minutes away now from the opening. we are going to look at some of the corporate movers in today's trading. we are going to be talking at deutsche bank. the lender slumped in u.s. trading after some hedge funds reduced their exposure. that was what we saw on the adi.
2:51 am
you can see the same on the trading listing. we will come back. we will talk much, much more about what is happening surrounding deutsche. in the meantime, i want to take you to jerusalem, where the funeral of president and prime minister shimon peres is underway. it is a very eclectic list of attendees. let's put it that way. really showing the breadth of this man influence on global diplomacy. president obama in the front row. range reflecting the impact this man had as president of israel, senior statesman, some would argue, of global diplomacy. his funeral underway in israel. >> [speaking hebrew] ♪

2:55 am
of commerzbank as they lay off hundreds of jobs, trying to cut costs. guy: looking forward to that conversation. i would like to point out to everybody that deutsche bank is really behind caroline. deutsche bank has not disappeared at all. it is still there. you can see the reflection of the office. i promise you it is still behind her. inging about job markets, is going to be a stock to keep an eye on. reports out of the netherlands suggesting we are going to see significant job cuts being announced as well when it comes to this sector. insurance, the banks, everybody caught up in what is happening here. that is the latest reporting surrounding ing. how much of a change in the business models does the financial sector need to go through? mouhammed: there are two aspects. one is the requirement for capital. having a heavy investment banking division requires a lot
2:56 am
of capital. a lot of banks have been be risking away from that -- de-risking away from that. with changes in regulation, they need to look at how they manage that. ♪

we really want to see whether this crisis of confidence becomes a real crisis because if they are trying to reaffirm, goldman sachs missed today sing liquidity position is fine. what is the key concern? michael: there are two concerns. .ne is the liquidity clients if they were to pull some funds. the concern is a miner one. you saw a lot of analysts come out today deutsche bank has plenty of liquidity. the liquidity coverage ratio bakes in the fact that some clients in a deal of stress will pull some money. deutsche bank has more than enough to cover that. the concern is miner. the other concern is just the client business. well client take a step back from doing business with what you.

bank of america years ago got worn buffet on the line. because it would be so diluted with the current stock price, even if you were to structure it a clever way, that is not something -- that is not option a. i think the biggest thing for him is getting some sort of boj -- doj's settlement done. they would like to get things in order. the quicker they can come to an agreement with a number that doesn't shock the market, the more they can put some of these fears to rest. caroline: interesting piece coming out of financial times saying perhaps the the department of justice should release deutsche bank and barclays all of the same time. they are not vocal when it comes

to share price and what they do in terms of support. would he have to raise more capital if the department of justice fine is too high? michael: right. that is an option. if they were to do a capital raise, certainly to shareholders that are in their provide one avenue of doing that. it comes down to what that doj number is and what the outlook on some of the other legal cases , explicitly russia and the fx cases, what the outlook for those are, because they have a substantial amount of legal reserves currently. if the doj case or to wipe all of those out, then it is a matter of building those back up for the other cases. that is where some of the concern on the capital front comes in. hds, a little look this
