1:04 am
missing cost revenue targets is damaging for the bank. we will analyze how corporate investment banking works in a difficult environment. all things for all people does not work -- is this the man that can emulate tidjane thiam, sergio ermotti, and outperform john cryan? those are the key issues. we have matt miller on the ground later. trade. you have novartis, deutsche bank. let me talk about that. this is the chart we have put together, dtv is where you can get it. china says we do 3 billion, then it says 50 billion. they can get away with 3 billion, but if you mix and match you actually physically run out of product to put tariffs on. so where do you go?
1:05 am
china says it will fight back. we are on the ground for that. for trumpet is about the art of the deal, his tweet is what moved markets into risk on fervor this morning. nejra: he absolutely dead. an important chart. if china can't use tariffs in the same way, what other measures might it take? the selloff on friday, the 200 day moving average still in play. it looks like we could open higher later today on the s&p 500, the dow jones, and the nasdaq. you were just talking about deutsche bank -- we will bring you analysis on the senior shakeup, with interviews with two shareholders with a senior portfolio manager and hans christoph. those conversations will happen later this morning. but for now let's get the first word news with juliette saly.

1:08 am

1:09 am
you can find more stories on the bloomberg at top . a lot of selling on wall street on friday but investors in asia had more time to digest all those moves, and we had the tweets from president trump singh testing more risk on. the trade war spat could be dissipating or at least come to an agreement. the nikkei up in late trading, chinese stocks resuming trade for the first time since wednesday, and we are seeing buying across most indices. and australia's market in late trade is also looking quite good, supported by the material sector. alumina is where we are focusing most of our attention today, you saw the russian company fall in hong kong according to the hong kong exchanges but a couple other players we are seeing, in sydney and malaysia, looking
1:10 am
good in late trade. that is on a takeover offer from a company offering a 59% bid. manus: thank you very much. risk on, risk off. president shooting pain will be speak -- president xi jingping will be speaking on tuesday, expected to address the threat publicly for the first time. tom mackenzie is on the ground in beijing for us. good to see you. what do they think china's response is likely to be? i just laid out the physicality of it -- $3 billion they can manage, 100 billion begins to get difficult -- the reaction? >> certainly it is a challenge
1:11 am
for president xi, and he will have to walk the tightrope in his speech. we are expecting him to push back. certainly you will be under pressure from his own team to push back against these tariffs. he is unlikely, though, to name check president trump, or even the u.s. he will want to reiterate that china has the right to protect its own industries and to retaliate. on the other side he also wants to welcome new investors and make it clear that china is a market that's open to foreign investment. he doesn't want to see these trade tensions exacerbate because he has a lot of domestic issues he wants to tackle. what we have been hearing is that there will be quite possibly some significant announcements around opening up some of the sectors so that is something we will be focusing on. there's something of a credibility gap because for many the reality on the ground in
1:12 am
china doesn't match the rhetoric from policymakers. nejra: how is all this playing out in china's markets? they are replaying after the holiday, if you look at the equity markets and what's happening, markets are shrugging this off? saying, theywas appear to be taking this in stride. the hang seng index is up nearly 2%, though some of it is down to strong earnings and companies like tencent doing well. in terms of the shanghai composite, they have had a choppy day but are getting games. the bond syrian in china are doing very well, the yields are expected to soften, and then of course we have the fixing for the yuan, slightly stronger, and
1:13 am
the fx reserves up for the month of march by about $8 billion usd. whether or not these trade tensions see the fx reserves start to advance is something we will be watching but so far markets are taking this in stride. matt: let's see where we go. it is in part the tweaks this morning that has given some sucker to the market. tom mackenzie. let's bring in our guest host this morning, the asset strategist. good morning. when i looked at the tweaks this is wherei think that the market hundred , saying we will be buddies forever, china will do the right thing, they will equalize the situation. it's all about the art of the deal, isn't it?
1:14 am
china will take down its trade barriers because it is the right thing to do. 1987.rt of the deal," >> good morning. about it has always been negotiating and negotiation tactics from trump, but if you go back in time, even with north korea, left, and now the trade war, you keep hearing a harsh rhetoric, and then the actual delivery is much softer. investors are getting a little bit tired having to constantly try to price what will happen in a full-blown trade war. that is why you see a lot of worry in the market. but let's not worry too much, trump has said in the past that it is very much his tactic and in the end he is pragmatic and i think that will dominate. nejra: you reduced your emerging market exposure.
1:15 am
is that the way you are finding to express any eventual concern about a possible trade war in your allocations? >> absolutely. if you think about what it means and if you step back a little the global economic picture remains positive and strong. economicslowdown in momentum but we very much believe that the environment will be conducive for risk assets. within risk assets we expect some preferences and recently we did that down a little bit with emerging markets partly because of the trade war risk but also because of the risk that you could have a stronger u.s. dollar going forward which could eventually weigh on emerging markets stocks. manus: you mentioned the dollar, we have a chart up on the screen. gtv, this is fx volatility. i'm amazed -- if anything it is
1:16 am
quite subdued. it is quite a positional change in terms of dollar-yen. ultimately, do you need to see an explosion in volatility rather than just equities before you would make any more dramatic changes? >> i think it wouldn't be necessarily driven by volatility and how weamentals see the risk of having a recession going forward. when you gather a very high risk, that is when you get potentially large bear markets. until then, you are getting more relativity, and we called for it from last year. but that doesn't change the picture which is volatility for risk assets. shot, manus had a great which shows china may be limited in terms of responding to the latest moves on tariffs.
1:17 am
what other steps are you anticipating? one thing that has come up is whether china could reduce its treasury holdings but i know the conversation is more nuanced. a lot of people talk about the holdings that china had in the u.s. target and it was holding more agencies than treasuries, so doesn't move around the treasury market, those questions would have had more impact in the corporate on space -- how do you see that playing out in terms of china and the u.s. market? >> the u.s. has leverage in his negotiation. they just put out a huge fiscal ismulus and what that means by stimulating their own economy that really benefits china. and say weo see xi are helping our country, indirectly. i don't see china retaliating by
1:18 am
selling treasuries, that would be an extreme measure and it wouldn't benefit. so they have replied harshly on the tariffs but there's only so much they can do before they run out of things they can put tariffs on. they have other measures, or are a lot of u.s. companies doing business in china could be affected, so we have to see what they would say, but if they did move away from just talking about tariffs, that would be escalation and would be bad for sentiment. manus: that for sentiment, a consequence for inflation. have a look at this. this is another chart on the fiscal situation. the congressional budget office will release an updated view in terms of just how tough that is. now look at the bond market, i have a triptych. $64 billion worth of paper coming into the market,
1:19 am
and i also have cpi. 3%?we talking yields above i think people earlier this year were very worried around this fiscal stimulus and what it meant for inflation in healed and you have this selloff on the back of that, then fast forward months and people seem to be more worried about a google trade war and a slowdown in economic growth. i think neither will happen in the short term. what i know for sure, if you look at the 10 year treasury yield, it is still really high because of the technicals, the huge issuance that takes place on the back of this u.s. deficit. it could even percent about 3% when you look at the amount of debt that needs to the
1:20 am
observed by the market at a time where the fed is gradually removing from quantitative easing and other central banks are planning to do the same. that means we could get higher yields in the u.s. from here. strategist,-asset you stay with us. coronaity at the boj as enters his second term as central bank governor. the indicators for inflation or turning positive. will it hit 2%? manus: indeed, the whole world is looking for the magical number. this is a man the world is focused on, the shakeup at deutsche bank, a new ceo. but will it mean more moves at deutsche bank >> we are live with the very latest. this is bloomberg. ♪
1:24 am
give new findings today. he is set to mark the occasion, with faster wage growth and a positive output gap. 2% target seem a bit distant. this is the story we've talked about for as long as i've worked at bloomberg. the distant low lands end high lands, let alone in the underperformance -- will they make it to 2% and if so would you buy japanese equities? >> i don't think they will make it this year. but that's not really the key issue. i think the trend is what matters to investors and what matters to us. you have seen really good retail , and there an pickup in wage inflation which
1:25 am
is quite new for japan. the overall picture for japanese markets is quite positive. ,hat's a market we own and like it is very cheap on valuations. it is very much loved by international investors and we think in this environment where you have tension in emerging markets and some disappointment in the u.s. on the tech sector, japan is a good market to be positioned on. nejra: investors are not loving japanese markets. will japanese investors not love treasury? take a look at this. part of this is down to dollar weakness. what do you see them doing from here and how might that impact the global investment portfolio? >> again was quite strong this year on the back of her nude volatility, it is typically a safe haven for investors.
1:26 am
i think the chart you are showing is very much a reflection of hedging, so there are a lot of flows into european bonds despite the low nominal yields. when you translate that it makes sense. that i think is very much a reflection of what makes sense to them and seeking yields out of their domestic markets. manus: you stay with us. we have more value to extract from you from the deutsche bank's tory to europe. we are live with the rest of the team. groundller is on the with the new ceo. cryan, heacing john will integrate, he will review corporate institutional banking, he is a man on a mission. the new gadfly piece is

dominate the news and the higher and we see that across-the-board. morning and of this the market is waiting on what the president does in response to the escalating trade rhetoric. many are trying to see the balance he is going to strike and showing the world that he is willing to open the market and .his is certainly one to watch let's move on to the commodities that have been front and center u.s.his is something the depends on and it is important for the united states. we have these trade tensions and

that.rket is working with there will be robust sanctions on companies and billionaires and these are the biggest producers of aluminum. andave seen this skyrocket this at then to bank of japan and you can see the diversions between the andal and the potential this is the highest we have seen in a decade with signs that hiroki kuroda is making progress, but i do not think they will ever hit the target. >> good to see you.
1:33 am
has named a new on.to replace john cry the ceo has spent his entire career at the investment bank and let's get to matt miller. the tcu. spats ande of those the savings mission looks more deutsche and less angst. >> absolutely. to be honest, this mission the savingslike mission now from different people. and theright about this
1:34 am
1:35 am
1:36 am
did we say sell? and we had ay technical recommendation after that financial meltdown and we realize that the bank was headed towards a restructure. this and we think that this will be in the sector. >> a good morning to you. accelerate the performance? isy said that deutsche bank reckless and that this is not goldman sachs. do you agree or disagree? this, it isok into
1:37 am
1:38 am
that, but ild be think that the days are cap -- live. that wereere some considered as an approach. do you think that deutsche bank is not going to be able to compete as much and will it really matter? should they focus more on germany? andhey have to restructure been trying toas be a big player and they went into every mess that you could imagine and i don't see a single argument, but i think they this andntinue to keep
1:39 am
and they strong market did not make money in this itket, so they reconstitute and that is what the bank has to hand, ion the other supervisorys a lorde with hard-core investment bankers and he is kind of trying ping-pong and will be doing something to make people happy, but i do not think he is in control of the bank any longer and he should step away. that thee saying shareholders should call for him
1:40 am
to be dispensed with? >> this represents the shareholders, right? i don't think that they have this isted well and strengthening the supervisory board and that means that the bank will be kind of a vacuum somebody from outside has to clean it up because somebody from inside is to close to these people and important decisions have to be done by people who come in with a strong vision and execute it. much.nk you so you more analysis from deutsche bank throughout
1:41 am
the day. >> those are the names and you read it out. after 9:00, we will speak to hans. multi-assets is the strategist and you heard the conversations there. let me take you to a chart of who is winning with the bondholders versus the shareholders and this is a good view to you. a retrenchmente from the investment banking activity and this shot is good because they have been struggling on the equity side,
1:42 am
usps and we made the code of the bond structure it towhere we would want the. are is mainly because they quite punitive and they have been a strong story. is very at this and it cheap in europe. is with this treading cheap banks have the european on the equity side that could havee attractive and you european curve and
1:43 am
banks are more sensitive to this. normalizationis and that should benefit banks. there is as much money you could and it ise bond side time to make equities. isthey say that the problem the mishandling and the consolidations. is deutsche more vulnerable? you look at credit suisse and the transformational stories and you don't get a sense of the new world order in deutsche bank being revolutionary.
1:44 am
bythis could be a target other banks, but it is a long we probably have that bank ist, but deutsche not alone. we mentioned that valuation of the old sector and deutsche bank has struggled more than others, but this european sector trailed behind and you look at this and there are the and banks from a few years ago and this would have been an amazing call to make. >> a thing that you said was the risk for markets being a sharper
1:45 am
slowdown in growth and we had comments from the ecb about all of the trade wrists adding , willre and that softness its balance back? had slowdowns and we are not going to get that in i think it is robust people always talk about the the story is not changed and they are experiencing a strong recovery and ity remain positive

and you defensive play are having a strong valuation for the market. there is a lot of uncertainty and that is in the price. stronglements are very and in favor of the u.k. market. >> what do you expect? how will that play this year? i don't think they will move the merchandise until next year that we will see that hike twice this year and and the ecbord more will face this dilemma that they
1:48 am
will have to manage the policy be and there will always more caution for when they decide to hike and that could be ugly. >> could be ugly. trade tell you that these creates a risk. interact with all of this. it was born and it grew and it is now a young adult. you never thought you adhere me compare the function to the adult. >> we use that all the time.

kid themselves anymore. they will not compete with goldman sachs on the investment banking fund. they have to be on their bread and butter, a german savings bank. nejra: i want to ask as well about the other changes with garth ritchie taking over the investment bank. we have headlines just coming through. richie commenting in a memo saying that there will be no near-term changes to cid management. what is the outlook for the investment bank, and particular it in the u.s.? -- particularly in the u.s.? reporter: that is an interesting comment since this was a huge change in the cib management. he will take over as the sole leader and also be a co-deputy -ceo. it's also interesting in the context of the statement we had moments ago, saying
2:12 am
that they have to reassess their world. the the entire community is expecting them to move out of the u.s., to pull back a little bit. garth ritchie's appointment as co-deputy ceo and head of the investment bank is interesting, as is the ceo search when they were looking at these big, international names and ended up choosing a local guy in germany who has worked at the bank since he was a teenager. manus: by the way, cib revenue from trading stocks and bonds, single biggest source of income, over 32% in 2015. that is what irked investors. they've got a new ceo man and boy, but paul at laettner, the chairman, saying that he's the problem, it has been mishandled. to sum it up, it has been quite a farce, and that the chairman
2:13 am
could be the person perhaps that is next to go. reporter: that is certainly true. ueller wantser -- m to see axel takeover. he wanted him to take over as ceo or chairman. there was something about a management shakeup three times in the last six years. i think he's wanted in a lot of different places, and he already has a job. notpaul achleitner has served the job well as chairman, at least judging by the share price. we are looking at all-time lows. nejra: thank you. matt miller for us in frankfurt. we will bring you more analysis on deutsche bank throughout the day. matt miller will be speaking to speich at 8:30 a.m. u.k. time.
2:14 am
toer 9:00, we will speak hans christoph hirt. ahmed --s, solomon salman ahmed. at the top,hanges we will see more deutsche, less bank. are we going to have fewer take global investment banks in europe to compete with u.s. banks? >> i think i agree with that. it started after the global financial crisis. i think deutsche missed the boat on becoming -- there was a window of opportunity into the financial crisis. i think the fact that they have an eroded capital base means they cannot compete with u.s. players. there is an identity crisis going on, and probably less bank, more deutsche. manus: let's see where these discussions go on trade.
2:15 am
where do you think this goes to? that tweet trump sent out over that we are saying going to get on just fine, xi jinping, be buddies, and china will do the right thing. to match the u.s. with $100 billion, but they don't import enough physically to match that. where does it go next? >> i think the whole situation right now is more bark and flexible bite, in the sense that the rhetoric is quite strong at the moment. we should remember that china was on the cusp of opening up the economy. acceleratedave anyway as xi jinping consolidated power. i think right now, china has a lot more to lose if this gets
2:16 am
worse, because, as you imported, they can only around 150 billion from the u.s. and vice versa. i think it's a lot for them to are, and i think both sides keeping their bite quite flexible. when theysaying should go ahead. those treats show -- tweets show that there's a lot of rhetoric and pulling back of the rhetoric. nejra: we got to the main things we are talking about throughout the show, deutsche bank, and also trade tensions. i want to take you back to a chart here showing the bond holder versus shareholder returns at deutsche bank. bondholders have been winning. when you look at european banks more broadly, would you say it is better to invest from a corporate want perspective or equity perspective?
2:17 am
>> i think it depends on the size. think you should close your eyes and by the bonds if it is systematically important. we have seen that in the performance of the structure. if you are thinking that some of the banks will make money, probably not. deutsche has a big discount on book value. the discount for equity holders is therefore a good reason. unless they sort out the strategy, you will not get the growth from the equity holder. manus: in terms of the underperformance under john cryan, it has been very, very obvious. you're just completely wrong if you think you are going to be able to take on the americans, you are not goldman sachs, it is almost an abuse of capital if you remain there. this is deutsche bank lagging. would you agree with that as a bold strategy option to right
2:18 am
the ship and rewrite the stock? learn.ink deutsche can into a core- focus strength area, there's no reason why you can't be profitable. i think they should accept the u.s. has become a competitive market, ahead of the game. they can pay time the way you can't because of various reasons. the time has come to focus on what your identity is. a similar to what lawyers have been doing in the u.k. to focus on core strengths. the u.s. is not their strength. ahmed, chief investment strategist, staying with us. a lot more to talk about, including trade tensions and impact on the market. let's get the bloomberg business flash with juliette saly. bank'sr: deutsche supervisory board has named a new ceo to replace john cryan and need a wide overhaul of senior management.
2:19 am
sewing, currently heading deep private and commercial arms, will take over immediately. reorganization, garth ritchie is promoted to soul head of the securities unit and will become a deputy ceo. europe's largest investment bank has seen three top leadership appointments in six years amid pressure from investors to improve profitability. the struggling commodity trader noble group is moving its headquarters to london from hong kong as it pursues a controversial restructuring of more than $3 billion. the group says it took effect over the weekend and is registered still in bermuda. noble has seen the value collapsed since little-known iceberg research began to question its business and accounting. the deputy chairman of our clays says tit-for-tat trade threats between the china and the u.s. are potentially damaging for the
2:20 am
global economy. but speaking exclusively to bloomberg tv, he praised the authoritarian leadership of president xi jinping and says china is wonderful for u.k. business. china has become a beacon of stability in a very troubled and the fact that xi jinping is prepared to give such strong guidance within the context of the economy is great for competitors such as mine. reporter: that is your bloomberg business flash. manus: thank you very much. one of our lead corporate stories this morning, the ceo has been barely there two months and announced a blockbuster deal. geneagreed to buy a u.s. therapy company. $8.7 billion deal for novartis. this is making the mark. >> absolutely.
2:21 am
this is the new ceo making a fairly big splash. of course for them, it's not that much money. what you have to remember as well, they have a lot of money assets toey just sold blackstone. they have that money to play with. they will use those funds to reallocate into promising new cancer research or experimental research. that's what we are seeing now. it is working in areas of jean therapy, cutting-edge therapy with the promise of helping to care eventually incurable diseases. if it works, it will be a blockbuster, if not, they look for the next target. nejra: what does this mean for net?ider pharma >> we are seeing this movement
2:22 am
into the gene therapy space. dabbling in been this for a wild. i think we will see more. it is an area where you are basically using technology to alter dna of a patient, and an might be able to cure incurable disease. there are so many experimental companies out there. the company being bought now has the first drug coming to the market, still experimental. there's a lot of opportunity, but also a lot of downside risk. if things don't work out, you have to write off the investment. but to pull the company's out, very large. more companies are moving into the field and novartis is making a first and bold effort here. manus: $9 billion deal in context, and the scale of the global economy. thank you very much for summing up the deal.
2:23 am
we have had quite a bit of an and a activity as of late. are you going to come out with the late cycle activity management, i think i have seen more? good deal for novartis. a good shakeup in pharma. >> i think overall the environment has been conducive m and a. a -- profitability of the corporate sector would be quite strong. some of this cash is being deployed in m&a. although this novartis deal seems to be a tale end -- tail e nd bet on what may work.
2:24 am
a mainstream automobile buying a self driving car kind of thing. i think this in a lower environment, we are seeing that. now saying that, we have to be careful. nejra: you pointed to volatility. it has been a turbulent start to the year to say the least. as you look ahead, what is the biggest risk? an escalation of this trade spat? is it the fed, or du still see inflation is a risk for markets? >> interestingly, i see all three of them as a key risk. i think the trades that is taking a lot of focus -- spat is taking a lot of focus. i think the markets are reacting to this rhetoric because there was no scope for mistakes in the evaluations. 2017 was a great year, volatility was repressed. the extension nature of the markets means any negativity, although it is not real in that sense, will have an effect.
2:25 am
i think the real risk for me is inflation. if inflation comes through and the banks are behind the curve, that could end the cycle. larry summers had a great one-liner, trump's attack on amazon is like mussolini. is the right over in tech? >> tech is becoming a bottom-up story. i think the regulatory shift will be company specific. if i were to be worried, i would be more worried about facebook because they are more based on user data, and that can shift very quickly more than amazon. nejra: how much is a risk that central banks get behind the curve? we heard from raphael bostic say that it would be ok to let the economy run a little bit hot. >> right now, inflation globally is not strong enough to get about.
2:26 am
the central banks behind the curve i think it will also depend on financial conditions. if inflation comes in and equity markets are selling off, they may air on the side of caution, but i think what happens to equity markets, especially in the u.s., would be a keep portion of that. nejra: thank you to salman ahmed joining us on the program. let's get a quick check on the markets. we have seen in the asian session that equities have been shrugging off any next step from china in this trade spat. euros stocks 50's futures trading higher. we could see them in the green at the open. the 10 year bond yields are unchanged, even though we have not seen the 10 year treasury yield higher. looks like the u.s. could open higher as well after the lowest -- losses after the jobs report friday. manus: yes, two big stocks to watch. has a new ceo.
