debt in european banks. while u.s. banks are at cycle highs, european banks are only back to where they were in 2015. since the bull market started, u.s. banks were up 500%. european banks up less than 100%. david: you are a chief market strategist. does that mean there is upside overall in europe? banking is very important to overall growth, particularly in europe, given the role of banks. in europe, financials are around 20% of indices. in the u.s., there -- the ban in the u.s. there is less technology in europe. we are more bullish, because we think rates will move higher. from our perspective, it provides opportunity. alix: that brings us to earnings season. jpmorgan reporting friday.
7:38 am
keith: what is unusual about this earnings period is during the quarter, earnings have been going up. in fact, estimates for the s&p are up 10%. ast is more interesting is prices have corrected, valuations at global markets are at two-year lows. alix: tech margins are supposed other sectors except for tech have improved. what happens if a trade war affects earnings? keith: we do not know. let's try to put numbers in perspective. we are talking $100 billion, $150 billion of tariffs. if you think about fiscal stimulus and the pipeline, we think it is about $50 billion. if this continues to escalate, it will be a bigger problem. price-earnings ratios
7:39 am
have been coming down. we are down to 16%. will it continue? keith: we do not expect it to go to a new cycle high, but if you look at the brexit story, investors stepped in around the 16 multiple. enginessay, if trade escalate, we could move down as far as 15, about 6% to 8% downside in a negative scenario. and want to turn out of these, the average gain is around 20%. we are still bullish and telling investors how to lean into this. alix: how do you lean in? keith: buy equities. in the u.s., we are bullish on japan. japan just made a multi-decade breakout as far as price. economic gdp is also at a multi-decade high. i think there are a lot of opportunities within the u.s. and overseas. david: what about sectors?
7:40 am
keith: we start with financials. we are still bullish there. industrials have been hit on the trade wars. our base cases this will not escalate into a foreign trade war. it is an opportunity for industrials, because we have fiscal stimulus. alix: how do you hedge? keith: by having things in the portfolio that asked differently -- alix: but what acts differently? keith: when you go back in history, since the depression and the 32 years were the market has declined, markets have been up almost every time. we think high-quality bonds make a lot of sense, even with yields on today for diversification purposes. david: thank you. keith lerner of suntrust, chief market strategist. coming up, we talk with mary laschinger. the guru of packaging. that is next. onyou cannot watch us

7:45 am
and starbucks, based here in atlanta. joining us now is ceo of veritiv , mary laschinger. have you run out of ammunition? mary: no. [laughter] i have not. with regards to the comments you just made about the packaging haver -- sector, there been significant price increases over the last 12 to 18 months. i think there are worries those price increases are coming to an end. whether or not the happens or not will be based on the supply-demand balance, as well as what is happening with rob material inputs. david: we have heard about lack of pricing power. is it because of the rapid increase in things like amazon shipments? mary: certainly fulfillment is where we would categorize those shipments. demand has increased. ultimately, it comes down to more than just that. there are exports going out of the marketplace as well as just general economic strength for
7:46 am
packaging in general. alix: have clients, like walmart, starbucks -- i viewed terms --hing in -- 93% ofnd 90% of our businesses in the u.s. we have not seen a significant drop-off in any of those. our demand growth has been fairly robust since about this time last year. david: your profitability is a function of revenue coming in and costs going out. what are your challenges, particularly in the employment market? concern,es is a big but it is not the entire picture. we need to look at total compensation for employees. 65% of our total cost structures based on people cost. although wages are modestly
7:47 am
going up, the challenge is much greater than that. health and welfare benefits, and our case, have gone up more than 10% since 2018. it is about total compensation for employees, not just wages. alix: if you are faced with a decision -- hire someone new, higher someone less qualified and trained them up, or pay people more? mary: you can never look at who you arending on trying to higher and for what type of jobs. we recognize we have to do more internal training, because we are not able to get the talent we need in all of the roles we need. training programs, isering a balanced approach important, it, nation of wages and benefits, as well as other benefits beyond just health care , to attract talent. david: your taxes are going down. what will you do with that money? mary: because of the nature of
7:48 am
even thoughions -- we are a fortune 500 company, we are -- have only been in existence for the last four years. to that point, we have had net havee losses as we invested in building a foundation for the future of the company. so we do not have those benefits today, but we expect to have them in the future. our approach, whenever we have cash in the business, is to have a balanced approach at paying down debt, investing in the future of the company, and providing value to our shareholders. alix: i want a rounded out with potential risk -- trucking. what kind of backlog and bottlenecks are you seeing? industry hascking been a challenge for many reasons. first, there is a huge shortage of drivers across north america. that is putting pressure, a result of having the talent and the people who want to go in the
7:49 am
industry. there is increased demand for trucking as a result of a stronger economy as a shift to e-commerce, as well as a reduction of capacity in the rail system. that has put pressure and strain on the trucking industry. we are sheltered, somewhat, in that we do 85% of our own transportation, but we still have some exposure with third-party freights. thanksmary laschinger, for being here. coming up, we will find a movie mobile here in atlanta. turns out georgia has become a producing.r movie we will talk with frank patterson, president of pinewood atlanta studios. live from atlanta, this is georgia -- this is bloomberg. ♪

7:53 am
it is extraordinary. frank: except when you consider we have a long pedigree of production storytelling in georgia, through turner studios and its subsidiaries, and a vibrant independent scene for years. when you combine that with the growth of the movie business generally and the focus on identifying places with smart policy, good business cultures, like georgia and good tax incentives, the industry wants to go for the opportunity is. georgia has been the opportunity. david: how big is the tax incentive? frank: if you look at the history of tax incentives across the u.s., they can, and go -- come and go. resources.recipe of taxes are important. so is a strong labor force. thes building infrastructure for us to

manufacture the movies. georgia has that magic recipe of thatte investment capital has dumped into the infrastructure, the smart tax policy, business-friendly state. georgia has done really well for the last 5, 6, 7 years. david: intellectual property is an important underpinning for the entire industry. we now have this big 301 dispute with china. how do you feel about that? our --d protection from for international -- four intellectual property, but you need that market. frank: product like film are not the first weapons that policy makers in. it is not grain, not tires, like president obama did with china. we have been dealing with protection is government in
7:55 am
china for years in the movie business. there are only a certain number of foreign films that can be imported to china. the current number is 36. there is talk about moving it to a 50 and 60. so we struggle with it with china anyway. through coproduction agreements and a typical desire that most countries have import our betural product, we tend to -- not immune, but let's say we are one of the last in the streets to feel the impact. -- one of the last industries to feel that impact. alix: where can growth happen? frank: the direct to consumer platforms. netflix, amazon, google, and what has needed to happen for a long time in our industry is the growth in that relationship, the direct to consumer relationship. so we are seeing a enormous output by netflix, seeing big

growth coming in apple and google. ,s we watch box office relatively, shrink , actually,ear attendance is dropping, but we are seeing a enormous growth in the platforms. alix: the movie you're looking forward to most, coming out? frank: if you do not see "avengers: infinity war" -- i live for those movies. much more coming up from atlanta. the ceo of intercontinentalexchange and his recent buyout of the chicago stock exchange. this is bloomberg. ♪ retail.

8:03 am
two basis points. lots of supply coming online, so can the market absorb it? the dax doing well. i wonder why? david: it may have to do with deutsche bank. deutsche bank really moving higher on the news that christian sewing will be replacing john cryan as the ceo. we go now to steve erin, covering german banking for us. give us a sense of why deutsche bank is responding so favorably to this news? well, the past two weeks at least, if not two years, have been hard for deutsche bank. emergedce speculation that the chairman was looking now ex ceo john cryan, everyone was asking themselves who would be the next guy. sewing, the appointment of him, has resolved that uncertainty.
8:04 am
no matter who is the new ceo, it is great. uncertainty is over. i think that is really what is driving the share price. is clear, from the background, that he will be able to cut costs. in his opening statement, he said make no mistake, i will cut the costs. where is the growth going to come from, though? ken christian sewing bring the coast -- can christian sewing bring the growth? teven: that is a good question. they think he will be able to cut costs. john cryan failed to deliver on that promise. christian sewing staking his reputation on cutting costs, but will he deliver on growth? the investment saving bank has dropped, to the lowest level, in terms of revenue in a long time.
8:05 am
he is working on a restructuring of the investment bank. the outcome is what everyone is waiting for now. arons of bloomberg news, thank you. in the market, a risk on day. that means selling treasury on the mark to -- on the margins. $68 billion worth of treasuries will be auctioned off this week. how do you want to position yourself? waldner,s now is rob strategist at invesco. i want to start with the auctions, because we have the supply. is there going to be the demand as equities continue to find their footing? rob: if the market continues to have the funds to get that supply off. a couple of things are working against supply. one, the fed is reducing the
8:06 am
size of their balance sheet, so thesere buying less of quality assets. and foreign investors have less incentive because hedging costs have increased so much, to buy assets. japanese investors actually sold $34 billion of u.s. treasuries in february. do you feel that overseas demand will come back? for overseas demand -- in treasuries and corporate bonds. and high-grade corporate bonds, spreads have been spreading quite a bit. hedging costs have really increased. i am sure you have talked about the libor-oas spread. that continues to drive up hedging costs, along with rate increases, so u.s. fixed income becomes less attractive, and a lot of the investors you are talking about are interested in the fully hatched. david: the top of the range is
8:07 am
defined by this increased supply of treasury. on the other hand, the bottom of the range is defined by things like the president's tweeting. who will win out in that tug-of-war? rob: we are stuck in that range. the thing that can upset that is some sign of either inflation -- so if we got real inflation, which we do not think will happen -- but if it happens, it would be a surprise. that is where we break above 3% in the 10 year. rise and is given the libor, the complete lack of inflation, maybe the fed gets more dovish -- that may drive us down. it is not trade. not these things that i think are defining the range. it is more fundamental economic data. alix: if you look at the high yield investment grade, the widening is in investment grade, not high-yield. how do you explain that? rob: the exact thing we were
8:08 am
talking about -- the global buyers have riven the market the last couple of years are pulling back. so there is less demand from those buyers. those assets, high quality , are driven more by total return buyers in the u.s. investorn you are an looking at april 4 lyons and have to manage some sort of risk from washington, that trade has not truly panned out -- where do you go? rob: the best way to manage your risk is to pare back on risky assets. you are right. in the current environment, to on the cute -- acute dollar position can be tricky, probably because growth inflation are not correlated right now. david: is there a danger of becoming complacent, particularly in corporate credit? as that range has continued hasn't leverage really
8:09 am
increased? rob: i read we are at or near a record of ratio of corporate leverage to gdp. is there increasing risk their? -- there? rob: it depends on the time horizon. -- underwriting is deteriorating. there is more debt out there. over the medium term, that tinder for issues a few years down the road. in the short-term, three to six months, we think the drivers will be growth, which is very good, although consensus has it inflation is benign, so that will be supportive. alix: curve flattening -- when does it freak you out? rob: evidence says when you invert -- when 2/10 inverts for cash inverts, recession follows. that is pretty much through
8:10 am
history. so we flatten quite a bit, but we have not gone invert it. so we can sit at the flatter level for quite a while. what we knew is -- what we need to do is watch inflation. rob waldner of invesco, thank you for joining us. coming up, we will speak with the ceo of intercontinental exchange. why did he just by the chicago stock exchange, and how can the company diversify? live from atlanta, this is bloomberg. ♪

8:18 am
giving them a leg up in treasuries. how much of your future growth will be in fixed income? jeffrey: a lot. business isthis -- a complicated market, going from analog to digital. those of us with digital platforms and global distribution are moving into that area to provide tools and technology to our customers. there are a lot of different debt offerings in the world. but there is more interest than ever in people holding that. -- debt. we have the emergence of exchange traded funds, etf's. the newthose list on york stock exchange, so we have a nexus to those people. so we are working on how to make it easier for people to consume. your mifid ii really help
8:19 am
business in terms of pricing and other services traders may need. does that continue if big banks try to capitalize on that? jeffrey: i have two minds on mifid. i think it is an overbearing piece of legislation. i think it will stifle growth. it is demanding that consumers have a lot of tools to comply with it. my companies in the business of providing tools. so we are doing well, even though from a purely political standpoint, i do not think it is good public policy. i think it will export itself to the u.s. and asia. because once large investors change their workflow, they tend to want to do that globally. so the workflow will change in europe as a result of mistake -- mifid. some of the good things that will come out of that will be exported. david: you are the chairman of the u.s. stock -- of the new york stock exchange. listing --nitial
8:20 am
spotify. the banks did not do too well. how does it affect your business if people start doing it that way? jeffrey: it is hard to know. spotify was an interesting company, because it did not need to raise capital. the new york stock exchange has almost asd 226 years, long as the united states. it has been a capital raising venue. for the first time, we have seen someone say i want to be a public company, but i do not actually need capital. whether that is an anomaly or the beginning of a trend is hard to know. one thing you do see is capital is available for private companies today and away it has never been. a lot is made about the fact that there are less ipo's today than during the last technology boom. but in the last technology boom, the dotcom era, companies were going public as a primary
8:21 am
vehicle to raise capital. today, those companies can raise capital in the private market. by the time they get to the stock exchange -- and we have become a leader in tech -- they come because the have complicated ownership shutters tables, they call them. they need to turn over their shareholder base. those ipos are much more complicated than the ones we saw 20 years ago, and they lend th screens to the floor and capabilities the stock exchange has. you saw the spotify ipo -- it took the entire morning to place the ipo. that was a combination of tech and humans, telephones and keyboards, that got that done. alix: how about the saudi aramco ipo? how do you market for that? jeffrey: we feel like any large company that wants to touch large capital markets should be in the united states. i do not mean saudi specific.
8:22 am
i mean any large company. we had the deepest, most liquid capital markets in the u.s. if you want to raise large amounts of capitals, this is the place to do it. david: the reporting is saudi aramco is somewhat hesitant because of the closures. as you talk or someone from the new york stock exchange talks with someone responsible in saudi aramco, is there any room to maneuver, to say we will change this a little bit, let you off the hook little bit, how does that work as a practical matter? jeffrey: i am a public company ceo. public companies have their own legal challenges. there is a lot of disclosure we make and there is challenge to what we do. that is part of being a public money. i do not think we will change for anyronment, per se, one company. it is good to have that dialogue. i think the trump administration
8:23 am
is trying to roll back some regulation, even under the obama administration -- there was an attempt to bring companies to the public markets on an easier glide path. in washington, that conversation is happening. to the extent that the saudi's can help stimulate that would be good for everyone. alix: what do you think the biggest hurdle is for a saudi aramco listing? what do you think is the biggest impediment? jeffrey: i do not want to speak for them, but it is not easy to be a public company, for many people. i personally enjoy it. it is rewarding to be manager of a public company. it is amazing to stand on the podium and ring the bell of the new york stock exchange. it is a symbolic event that says person, aeen a young teenager, and you are now acting as an adult. adult comes with its own benefits. alix: and it comes with this --
8:24 am
its issues. so if you are another company, what might make you say it is tough for me? jeffrey: i am bullish. i think being public is a great thing. it puts a certain discipline on a company. once you have the discipline of the market, it is rewarding, because it forces me and my management team and others like me to make tough decisions. i get the sense people want to avoid that, but at the end of the day, it is best for the company. david: you are a big player in the exchange is this. you have three other rivals people talk about. how do you keep score? what is your advantage? jeffrey: my shareholders want to see the company grow. that means constantly reinventing yourself. i look at where are we now and where do we need to go and how do we get there before my competitors can get there. david: talking about growth, you have done it largely by
8:25 am
acquisition. are you going to continue to acquire, and if so, where will you acquire? jeffrey: we acquired analog is is is and bring -- we acquire analog businesses and bring technology to them. so we look to find can we continue to find parts of these markets and put technology in. alix: cryptocurrencies, securities contracts -- when will we see it on your exchanges? jeffrey: i do not know. there is a trend here we cannot ignore. it is early days. there is something about technology today that many people are more comfortable with it than there are the institutions of government and society that i grew up with. people put more faith in a guy akamoto that no one has ever met then the u.s.
