12:02 pm
>> oil prices on the move this morning, rising above $70 a barrel for the first time since november 2014. the surge coming as traders base for reimposition of the sanctions on iran. >> the markets are betting trump will pull out of the deal, will reimpose sanctions. as a result, you might see a lot of barrels, iranian barrels, disappearing. >> if he decides to not sign that deal again, what happens to supply? >> what we have seen is there are varying estimates, but were -- right now we are talking about 500,000 barrels of oil a day coming off the market by the end of the year. and when you combine that with the cuts we have already seen from opec, that is a substantial amount of oil. we are in a market that is much closer to supply-demand balance. so any time you have geopolitical tension, we are seeing that reflect in the oil price almost immediately. >> the limbo over the nuclear deal ends tomorrow, president trump tweeting earlier "i will be announcing my decision on the iran deal tomorrow from the white house at 2:00 p.m."
12:03 pm
crude oil took a leg lower on the news after pushing past $70 a barrel for the first time in three years earlier in the session. >> the question is where are we. is the u.s. walking away? a lot of the market has rallied on that fear. so anything short of that, you start to see people selling off a bit. >> president trump is said to have made a decision to leave the iran nuclear accord. the president will announce this from the white house in a few moments. president trump: i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. we will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction if the regime continues its nuclear aspirations. it will have bigger problems than it has ever had before. >> it is a very risky move from trump in some ways. it is a new level of brinksmanship. >> this was a huge gamble by
12:04 pm
president trump, basically suggesting that the u.s. is going to bow out and essentially daring iran to go ahead and violate the deal itself. but what has happened here is iran has said ok, well, the deal will remain intact and we won't develop a nuclear weapon as we had promised before, so it leaves the united states quite isolated diplomatically. >> we are back to where we were before the deal. we imposed sanctions on iran and hope to bring them to the table. you heard the president say he thought we had maximum leverage and did not effectively exercise it to get a sufficient agreement. i guess he believes now we will have that leverage and the iranian economy is stressed. and that economic pressure will bring them back to the table. it is a huge gamble, but it is certainly a possibility. >> france, germany, and the u.k. say they regret donald trump's decision to pull america out of
12:05 pm
the 2015 deal to curb iran's nuclear program. >> there has been a string of european leaders who have gone to the u.s. in the run-up to this, trying to convince donald trump not to go ahead with this decision. they did not succeed. now they are saying, well, they do regret the decision, but they are going to stick to the agreement. >> for companies, the question is where do we go from here? the iran business has really started taking off in the past couple of years. siemens, airbus. you already had a couple of companies appealing to european leaders saying we need your support and your needs to step -- europe needs you to step up to the plate now. >> oil is extending gains above $71 a barrel following president trump's decision to pull out of the iran nuclear accord and as a conflict between israel and iran ratchets up. israel says iran fired missiles at the soldiers in the golan heights and retaliated by striking iranian targets in syria. >> the region has been on fire
12:06 pm
now since basically 2011, but we have not seen a head-to-head confrontation between major regional powers since the 1980's. the rhetoric between israel and the rhetoric between iran is heating up. we will have to see where this leads, but there are definitely worrying signals. >> the stunning victory in malaysia's election, ending the six-decade rule of the coalition. it really was a historic event. what comes next now for malaysia? >> he will have to put a government together. he says he has to speak to the presidents of the four parties and come to some sort of conclusion to put a team together. few people would have expected for this to happen, 121 seats out of 222 contested. out of power for 14 years, but he has shown he still knows how to win an election. winning this election is just the first step. there are so many more challenges that he needs to overcome to perhaps help a
12:07 pm
nation that is seeking reconciliation. be athink it is going to volatile few days for the financial markets. >> just a few days? >> it depends how the new government calms markets down and how quickly they can lay out their agenda, and also who takes the reins, particularly in the economic portfolios. mark: sterling dropping on super thursday as it is known, policymakers voting to keep rates unchanged, the decision ending a roller coaster ride for investors who expected a hiking a couple of weeks ago. governor mark carney says the bank intends to deliver modest tightening, but is in no rush. >> we will wait until we see some progress before we think about it. >> this is unique. i have never really seen anything like it. sterling trades as if the market suffers from bipolar disorder. if you look at the fundamentals and pay heed to these in the
12:08 pm
press conference. the labor market is strong, wages are picking up gradually. those are some pretty strong things that are supportive for the headline from the boe that there is going to be gradual tightening over the medium term. >> the date for president trump's meeting with kim jong-un, the president tweeting it will be june 12. it was supposed to be anticipated after the scenes that unfolded at the andrews air force base overnight. >> president trump said last night that he thinks this is a sign that north korea is ready to abandon the nuclear program and enter into the league of nations, enter into the broader world community and sort of abandon its past situation, it's past position as a rogue nation. we heard from mike pence, the vice president, that there is skepticism that this would actually lead to the type of grand bargain that president
12:09 pm
trump wants, but they are looking to try and make that happen on june 12 in singapore. >> the u.s. yield curve is the flattest and more than a decade. the spread between five and 30 year treasury the lowest since august 2007. the curve could actually be inverted by august or september. >> it is possible. i think we will see more movement upwards along rates. remember, the federal reserve is increasing its bond sales or reducing its balance sheets more quickly. the ecb will get out of the business of buying long-term bonds, but there will be pressures on the long end also. but if it inverts, it will not mean anything. in version used to be a worrying sign for the economy, but this is basically a broken barometer. we have never had central banks so active at the long end of the bond market. it is not telling us the kind of things that used to tell us in the past.
12:10 pm
>> president trump will propose sweeping reforms of drug pricing this afternoon. the group -- the blueprint, called american patients first, is meant to increase come petition in -- and lower patient out-of-pocket costs. president trump: we will have more competition, more innovation, and much lower prices at the pharmacy counter. we are very much eliminating the middlemen. the middlemen became very, very rich. [applause] >> he didn't talk about our busy benefit managers. if that's not who he was talking -- pharmacy benefit managers. if that's not who he was talking about when talking about the middle man, who was he talking about? >> i think that is who he was talking about, but he did not say it. it indicates there is still room for working out how exactly this is going to work and how this is going to be rolled out, pointing to the lobbyists being -- quite an interesting approach. but if you look at express scripts, shares are up and investors are clearly relieved that this did not sound so
12:11 pm
strong in terms of targeting them and their role in the system. >> president trump calling on congress in the next couple of weeks to bring forward some type of legislation that they would be able to enact. a couple, there were of working proposals, but it is unclear whether this would get a major legislative push ahead of .he midterms >> still ahead, jamie dimon says to prepare for 4% bond yields thisor four fed rate hikes year. plus, the heads of central banks in lebanon and the philippines explain how they are coping with economic stresses. and up next, more of the week's top business headlines. walmart spent $16 billion to get an e-commerce foothold in india. >> it was slow to get in china, which is another massive market. it does not want to make that same mistake again. julie: this is bloomberg. ♪
12:17 pm
julie: this is "bloomberg best." i am julie hyman. let's continue our global tour with a barrage of big deals, starting with the tie up of a food giant and a coffee brand. >> nestle and starbucks are teaming up in a multibillion-dollar deal. nestle will pay starbucks nearly $7.2 billion in cash for the rights to sell starbucks branded products. so this is not about nestle getting any physical assets. this is about marketing licenses? >> that is right. nestle will pay about $7 billion to get these licenses to basically sell coffee, packaged coffee products outside of starbucks chains in various outlets, such as supermarkets and food service. and in a testig for nestle? not all of the past have gone that well?
12:18 pm
>> it is the third biggest acquisition for nestle and the ceo, markr the new schneider, who has been leaving the company -- leading the company since january of last year. it isnalysts are saying an expensive bet, but on the other hand, it is starbucks. it is the name and coffee. -- in coffee. >> activist investor elliott management has made an all-cash forto acquire athena health $160 per share, sending the stock to its highest level since january 2016. investors seem to like the deal, athena do analysts say health is doing wrong? >> pretty much everything. it is everything from you missed operationally, you have failed to issue accurate guidance. you have missed the forecasts you do set out. you cannot launch your products, too much executive turnover. it is a brutal letter in terms
12:19 pm
of assessment of the performance of the company, and is acting -- making the argument that pulling them out of the public market to get things under control would be a better option for them. >> let's finally get back to the buying of rival drug maker shire. the deal transforms it into a top 10 pharma giant. does this prove the adage if you do not succeed, try, try, and maybe try again? >> this is the fifth offer takeda made. they finally did succeed. they had a long process and got a pretty good premium in the end, 60%. they needed to do something very transformational. they had a french ceo they brought in who had done some smaller deals, but he had not done anything this transformational. this was a chance for him to make a big splash with the team. a battle for e-commerce supremacy, zeroed in on india. walmart has agreed to pay $16 billion for a 77% stake in
12:20 pm
india's biggest online retailer flipkart. ,it is the biggest deal ever as it looks to fend off amazon in the world's second-most populous nation. >> this deal is about getting ahead in an e-commerce market that is exploding. india has the second largest population of internet users in the world. walmart needs to get ahead in this market as it battles amazon pretty much around the world. it was slow to get into china, and it does not want to make that same mistake again. it was willing to spend this much money on a business that is really not profitable yet. >> australia has laid out its budget with a deficit forecast of $10.8 billion. the government is wooing voters with process of test cards and also the first -- since the global financial crisis. here is what scott marston had to say. market toas a further
12:21 pm
expand and grow, and that is boosting revenues over the medium-term and the shorter term. >> are the numbers sustainable going forward? >> we believe they are. our economic growth forecast are more conservative than those by the reserve bank of australia and they are overly optimistic organizations, so we have the track record. >> deutsche bank is considering a sweeping restructuring in the u.s. that could shrink its workforce there by 20%. now, that is according to people briefed on the matter who say that a decision is close. the plans have been denied, which would follow the move to retreat from businesses it deems less competitive. >> what they are looking at is each business unit separately. they do not really have a specific job cuts target for the group globally. what they are doing is going through the bank unit by unit and deciding how much they want to cut it. those cuts could add up to 20%
12:22 pm
of the u.s. workforce in the maximum scenario. they have already singled out a few units they are definitely going to cut. example,tive -- for u.s. corporate finance, they recently said they will close the houston office, which is their coverage location for the oil and gas sector. it is difficult to anticipate how many side effects this will have on other parts of the business, how many clients will say well, if you pull out of that area then you are really not the bank i want to do business with anymore and we are therefore cutting ties with you -- it is difficult to anticipate that. i think that is what they are trying to figure out now to make sure that those that affects can be minimized. a bloomberg exclusive, the bank searching for a new chief executive. meanwhile, the bank is reaching a deal to pay $4.9 billion to resolve a u.s. mortgage investigation. rbs is looking for a new chief
12:23 pm
executive. jobhat a reflection on the he has done? >> this leads the bank to a point in which it can stop paying dividends again and put this significant legacy issue behind it. that also paves the way for potential sale down from the u.k. government, which is still -- whole 70% of the bank's shares. the kind of language that has been used today remain -- range from a watershed moment, a symbolic moment, a milestone. that is how significant this settlement really is for the bank. >> michael cohen may have been more than legal advice to his maki client, president trump. we now learned major companies and a russian oligarch with ties to vladimir putin paid his firm substantial sums of money reportedly for insight into the trump administration. so michael avonatti posted on twitter yesterday with no advance warning a link that took us to a dropbox site that
12:24 pm
contain what we call a suspicious activity report produced by a bank again -- about transactions that were moving through an account set up by michael:. -- michael cohen. this account has money that not just moves through to a porn star, but it included big corporations and a russian oligarch. there has been little explanation about what the money was intended for, where it went. at&t, novartis, and the korean aerospace company have all in knowledge that this was in some way to get some insight or access or something from the trump administration. >> let's talk about what is happening in italy. efforts to form a broad coalition to dilute the power of the antiestablishment five-star movement floundered this week. party leaders spent yesterday morning drawing up plans for governing alliance. the president gave the two parties until sunday to reach an agreement to possibly form a government. >> lopped of -- lots of optimism
12:25 pm
from both five-star and the leak. they were in parliament yesterday, and officials are saying they are working on first of all, the party program, the priorities, but also behind the scenes. they have to find the right people are the job. some lawmakers are saying perhaps the new government, if all goes to plan, could be sworn in by the end of next week. ♪
12:26 pm
. . ♪ julie: welcome back to "bloomberg best." i am julie hyman. jamie dimon spoke exclusively with bloomberg this week at the j.p. morgan global china summit in beijing. his outlook for the u.s. economy remains upbeat. >> right now the american economy is strong. more people back to work, household formation is up, houses in short supply, which is a plus for the economy and the capital markets wide-open come -- wide-open, much less leverage in the past.
12:27 pm
banks have twice the capital, twice the liquidity. consumer balance sheets are in good shape. the way to look at the recovery is look beyond the year. we had 20% growth over nine years, and the nine years is really good, the 20% is bad. it should have been 40% over a shorter time, and that's why wages did not go up and all these things. it looks like this may have legs to go, one year, two years, maybe more. remember, the rest of the world is doing better. japan 1.5%, europe 1.5% approximately. i don't know. it is 1.5%. the last 10 years it was 0%, so that is a positive. i hope it will continue. the fact is, america is in
12:28 pm
pretty good shape. you have some benefit of regulatory reform, tax reform. i think those things will drive growth a little bit, hopefully better than 2%. >> i read your note to clients in april. you said one of the biggest risks is underestimating the ability or potential of the fed raising rates more aggressively. inflation could rear its head. we just had oil above $70. is this a worry? >> i'm trying to explain to shareholders you have to prepare for all possibilities and probabilities. it is a possibility that the growth accelerates, the fed raises rates more than you expect, both the short end, which might force the 10 year up, not down like in the past. you can easily deal with 4% bonds. again, if it is because america is strong and healthy, i almost call it normalization.
12:29 pm
i pointed out by the end of the year that the fed plus the deficit has advanced a lot. that is a huge shift and eventually other central banks will reverse buying bonds, causing volatility in higher rates. more growing is more important that. i would try to keep that view. financial markets are one thing. they fluctuate, move, rates go up and down. commodity prices go up and down, but what matters the most is jobs, wages, stability in the economy, not necessarily in the markets. julie: coming up on "bloomberg best," more of the weeks news, featuring earnings reports and a few deals. plus, what are the markets making of the latest shift in the geopolitical landscape? we get expert perspective. >> there is little evidence there is a geopolitical premium in oil prices. >> we have no doubt there will be an issue of volatility as a result of this.
12:31 pm
oh hi sweetie, i just want to show you something. xfinity mobile: find my phone. [ phone rings ] look at you. this tech stuff is easy. [ whirring sound ] you want a cookie? it's a drone! i know. find your phone easily with the xfinity voice remote. one more way comcast is working to fit into your life, not the other way around.
12:32 pm
>> i am happy about metoo, and i know people say it is too much. i do not think so. it is time for women to take charge and also, for -- you cannot just say, we need one woman on our board. it is like i need a green plant on the table. >> we have learned that is not enough to focus on hiring. if the focus on hiring, progression, and retention for it we have implemented a very innovative service called a warm line. this is a place where employees can call into and get assistance if they are having retention challenges.
12:33 pm
>> everybody has goals they are supposed to meet, if they do not meet them, there will be repercussions. people will be moving to different agencies. they understand in this goes to studios, networks, talent agencies, etc. women have started this movement and they have gathered women from all walks of life to include them in this movement. there is no way a man can ignore it and say, we are going to go work with this group. everyone is included for it -- is included. julie: those were the guests who came to the bloomberg headquarters to discuss equality. they also spoke with leaders about the impact of geopolitical shock as a result of president trump's decision to take the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal. >> without a doubt, there will be additional volatility as a result of this. we will probably have a lot of our u.s. allies negotiating what
12:34 pm
is the next move, what can we do, and that is going to generate a lot of speculation about what is going to happen. i do not think it should be dramatic. it should depend on what kind of sanctions. this is something the market has been looking at and assessing and trying to play it forward. while there will be some short-term volatility, it all determines on how it plays out. >> do you see it asia-pacific a geopolitical risk rising now? >> i do not think it is rising. if you look at what is happening in north korea, south korea, that is quite significant.
12:35 pm
i was in south korea last week and i had a chance to understand what is going on and what is the feeling from the south korean side. one of the things that surprised me is the amount of support that south korea has in terms of trying to make this work. they really want to make this work. they have a lot of affection for their counterparts on the north. there is a huge amount of interest in helping the nation rebuild. whatever solution comes will also involve a lot of help and aid flowing from south to north. >> we seem to go from the geopolitical shocks -- in a space of a week, you have what you would normally have a year, but the market rides them out.
12:36 pm
what should clients be worried about? what is the shock that is going to bring this bull market to a close? >> the biggest things to be concerned about is mainly the possibility that the economy overheats, inflation rises significantly above the targets, and the fed submits to getting some thing like 2% cemented and therefore, has to be aggressive and slowing things down. once the unemployment rate starts to increase, it tends to be difficult to calibrate that in a way that pulls off of a soft landing. there is never been an increase in the u.s. unemployment rate in more than 35 basis points that was not associated with a recession. not a law of nature, but it does suggest that doing the soft landings is harder.
12:37 pm
a situation where the economy is already growing at a below trend to pace, and that is trying to slow things down, that is coupled with a more significant shock from financial conditions or oil prices, which is another common factor or common concern, then the risk of recession would go up. >> there is very little evidence there is a geopolitical premium in oil prices right now. that said, the way to think about re-imposing sanctions on iran is it reduces the capacity to produce. the reason for that is we may lose the iranian exports but it is likely to be replaced by saudi production and other allies. secretary mnuchin made that very clear that the allies will
12:38 pm
likely replace it. it makes the markets more exposed to events like venezuela, and then goal of -- and angola. you have an election on may 20 that could lead to more disruptions. the market is far more exposed. the upside risk is substantial to geopolitical risks. >> the u.s. is a big exporter of crude. shouldn't have a national oil policy? -- should it have a national oil policy? >> only think about compliance due to the reimposition of sanctions, will players like india and china complied to this? the u.s. at is as large of an exporter as iran, 2.5 billion barrels a day. that gives them a bargaining chip. it is a way to enforce compliance. >> emerging-market economies were in the spotlight this week, putting pressure on him
12:39 pm
currencies. they discussed the policy responses to economic challenges. >> for this year, we are releasing a step up -- we are seeing a step up and inflation -- a step up and inflation. before we see a tapering, the deceleration of it inflation back to our target range by next year. >> you talked about how it is spreads to the white economy, what have you made in observations? >> it is growing faster than the
12:40 pm
average and that is one indicator that we are looking at. despite inflation, -- the spike in inflation is currently coming from the rice price. our objective is to hit our target. our commitment is to be at the target range. the target to be well in the middle of our target range. so far, we recently updated inflation forecasts. >> the eurobond market was has seen higher yields, is in fact
12:41 pm
undervalued today and the government does not intend to make a new issues to the market. our intention is not to sell more than $2 billion of eurobond in the next 12 months. >> what that means for asset allocation, are you diversifying more? >> lebanon is the second holder of gold in the middle east. >> you can never have enough. >> we have been since more than one year, playing the floating notes in our investments.
12:42 pm

12:44 pm
fox's as sets appears to be facing competition. >> it started out as a skirmish over an interesting sky over in england, but now it turns out as an all out war over the assets of a third. comcast but together a finance war chest that could give the ability to bid as much as $60 billion in cash for assets. is it really going to go after bob iger after this? >> it is possible. they have a tremendous balance sheet. comcast is already made a big bets on contact with the nbc universal several years ago. that was a great acquisition for comcast and they feel like they can do it again. if you are bob iger, the 20th century fox assets are absolutely strategic.
12:45 pm
i need to go head-to-head not just with the netflix, with the facebook and the googled, ended order to do that, i need to get bigger. >> comfortably beat wall street estimates, the blockbuster and "black panther", any big surprises in the earnings? >> the film studio was a big surprise. we knew "black panther" was a global hits, $1.3 billion. underlying issues for her disney continues. >> you have a deal in place and it seems you need to shareholder approval, regulatory approval, and other expressing interest in terms of comcast. >> if you are a shareholder in the company being bought, 20th century fox, you have to
12:46 pm
consider the value of the currency of the combined entity. the other thing you have to consider is what is the pastor regulatory approval? is this a deal -- what is the path to regulatory approval? we believe, we are confident that we will game that approval. -- again that approval. >> 20th century fox reported weaker earnings in its latest quarter. why would fox potentially preferred disney over comcast if we are looking at this all caps offer -- cash offer? >> fox thinks the road would be easier with disney rather than comcast. the other aspect is the tax complications. it would mean a huge tax burden which fox would not have to face with the disney stock deal. the murdochs really want to be a significant shareholder in disney. they would own about 5% to 6% of disney stock.
12:47 pm
>> breaking news and telecom, liberty global to sell some european operations in the $19 billion deal. it includes germany, hungary, romania, the czech republic. this marks are retreats from continental europe for liberty global and an expansion from another company. interesting to get his perspective today, we have an announcement of that deal. >> these are all markets the dt plays in. they posted a sale declined but it is boosting its outlook for a full year, operating earnings, the 23.3 billion euros. that comes from t-mobile's
12:48 pm
growth in the u.s. what kind of competition that is going to provide in germany and in eastern europe -- a earnings here at home, and finally the t-mobile-sprint deal in the u.s. >> the deal is totally unacceptable. they were not allowed to sell their cable businesses and one piece when i traded at one bigger price. it was sold at three pieces and now all of these three pieces are coming together under the one. >> barclays ceo signed over billions of dollars, and some suggesting it was just a tap on the wrist. is that fair? >> yes, 50% may not seem -- 15% may not seem an awful lot.
12:49 pm
it could have been deemed not in proper, and that would have cost him his job. this is a significant step forward. >> quarterly profits in india's iciei fell by more than double, so what do analysts make of these numbers? >> it confirms my view that there are further downsides to estimates on the street. the cross mva ratio went up. that was expected. it is more encouraging to end the business momentum looks promising. 43 analysts on the street expect a 43% jump, and i think there is downside to those numbers.
12:50 pm
>> volkswagen chief executive has a safe passage deal by the u.s. justice department. it allows them to travel the world freely without being -- how important is this for the new chief executive, this rare safe passage deal? >> it is really important for the new ceo. more than 120 factories around the world and imagine if he had taken over as that she would not have been able to travel around. as ceo, you have to represent the company. if he had been confined to germany, that would have crippled him. this deal was is probably in place before he became ceo, which we only learned about in the last couple of days, allows him to hit the ground running.
12:51 pm
>> tesla chief executive elon musk bought more than $9 million worth of tesla shares on monday. he is already become the largest shareholder of the company. $10 million is not that much, but it is a market signal that the potential chief executive wants to shut critics down? >> yeah, there is a lot of baiting on the part of elon and his fan boys. this is him saying, i'm going to put my money where my mouth is. fourth-quarter earnings beating operating profit estimates but most of the company's success is
12:52 pm
due to one bet. >> the one big bet was nvidia. they got into the stock a while ago. nvidia shares rose 100 and 12% to 113%. it was that vision fund that gave big returns and without it, for the first fiscal year, operating income would have been down about 2.5%. >> nvidia has reported corporate sales that have topped expectations. while chipmaker generated $289 million, in the first quarter, it said that revenue could fall. is this a sign that it could
