this is what your markets are doing, this is the dollar index. you can see the dollar strengthening, hitting the highest in almost a year. a lot of the focus is elsewhere amidst the straight wars and its impact on global growth. we are getting some sexual bank action.- central bank then that big opec meeting in vienna, currently at $65 and $.20. it was the first corporate to --e out, it's dying when this german automaker. coming up, we speak about theresa may and defeat in parliament, will also speak to a chief executive after saudi arabia engaged inclusion on the
4:02 am
index, and later today, we speak to thomas jordan, president of the swiss national bank. first, let's get bloomberg first word news. >> donald trump is planning to meet with vladimir putin. bloomberg has learned that two possibilities for the meeting are either before the nato summit in brussels or after president trump's visit to britain. the white house declined to comment. trump has reversed course on his controversial policies separating immigrant children across the u.s. border. he signed an executive order, directing homeland security to contain families together. he has been under intense criticism over the separation which saw around 2000 prison placed in federal custody. it is a problem that has gone on for many years.
4:03 am
we are working very hard on immigration. people having dealt with it, we are dealing with it. china has reiterated they are fully prepared to respond to any u.s. tariffs. ministers -- commerce has said they will hold a trade summit with the european union on monday. wilbur ross joins us after midday u.k.'s on. -- time. off aa may has fended rebellion within her own party. whether mays over should have a party to take the eu at the u.k. without a deal. rebels wanted parliament to have a meaningful role in the deal moving forward. in more than 120 countries, this is bloomberg.
4:04 am
francine: thank you. trade gets real. daimler delivers a 2018 profit , saying consumers will buy less as a result of tariffs. for more on this, let's get to germany, and to our bureau chief. how is the trade war expected to hit profits in europe and germany? chad: it is an interesting story. being a about daimler carmaker, so we wonder how this trade war is hitting them. but what they have said is that essentially because they produce most of their suvs for export around the world at a factory in the u.s., they are very concerned that terrorists on going into china
4:05 am
will hit profits and demand, because chinese consumers are less likely to buy their vehicles. and ultimately, that they want to be able to pass on the full amount of -- tariffs. but none of these auto tariffs have been put in place. so how can it already have an effect? is this an excuse or do you expect similar things? chad: that is a good question. to be honest, a lot of analysts have been skeptical about this morning -- warning. some are saying it is interesting that they are not mentioning the fact that their suvs lifecycle is asian --
4:06 am
aging. generally, the sales tend to go down. beis suggesting that might the real reason sales are declining, not the pending trade war. ourcine: that you so much, bureau chief chad thomas. -- the mosts the's part one central banking express their ideas on a trade war. >> what is the effect on trading, on experts, on consumer confidence? we think there are lessons from the past. they are all very negative. >> those concerns seem to be rising. for the first time, we hear about concerns to postpone investment and decisions. >> what is happening is incredibly disturbing.
4:07 am
can any of us think of a country that has made itself wealthier by building walls? probably not. i can only hope that this andlation can be rescinded that a normal trading relationship would prevail. francine: that was from sintra. so what does the uncertainty actually mean for markets and companies? joining us now, fixed income portfolio manager from jpmorgan. thank you both for joining us. simon, let me to kick off with you. is it now a trade war? should we worry about it more? simon: it is a trade war.
4:08 am
the reason is it is not a it is muchiscussion more multifaceted. as german carmaker talk about its impact on supply and means you cannot ring fenced countries and conclude it is going to impact consumers, you have to recognize that within an integrated supply see andhe boss you will the corporate warnings and you will see will manifest in areas where the dialogue is why separate. -- quite separate. have markets been complacent or they just trying to see what happens next? for markets, i think it means uncertainty. you have seen europe pn
4:09 am
companies not doing as well as the u.s.. businesses are going to be delaying investment. ultimately, what markets are struggling with is that we have been here before. with the u.s. administration taking a stance and quickly backtracking. not unfeasible to say they could actually very quickly deescalate. some more uncertainty. francine: do you have to take a bath of whether this is a play on the midterm election? if you think this is about winning support, ultimately the u.s. administration won't want to go into elections with a market that is correcting or dropping sharply. to the extent that this has not yet dented markets in the u.s., i think the administration is
4:10 am
likely to keep playing on that. overf we see that spilling , i think de-escalation could be in the cards. francine: this is also about a president who wants to deliver what he campaigned on. yeah, i slightly disagree, actually. base't think the electoral who will be key to midterms really care about the equity markets. bothered about the rhetoric of returning jobs to the u.s., america first. what has really generated some support is the top of fair trade, rather than free trade. i think that, more than where the s&p heads, will dictate whether the trump administration keeps this going. francine: you mentioned jay powell saying this is starting to have an influence on how
4:11 am
chief executives higher and see their company. -- the reparable damage repairable damage? will people start hiring again, or does it have a legacy? dent ai think this will degree of how businesses plan going forward. backtracking,cale and going back to the wto for negotiating trade, would restore full confidence. thishe u.s. has optionality on picking up trade war's. it is unlikely. -- unlikelyored that full confidence is restored. economies ofve to roughly the same size. when you start to game theory it , it is very difficult to see a
4:12 am
climbdown with two leaders who rhetorically don't like taking a back step. a lot hinges on the ability to come to an agreement where both premier xi jinping and president trump can be said to have won the dialogue. it difficult to see that scenario. stick around, we talked opec as the gathering gets underway in vietnam and iran -- the anna -- vienna. members are optimistic about the outcome. >> every minister i have met with agrees it is time for us to change course. and to respond to the markets.
4:13 am
and be the responsible producer we have been over the past 18 months. the market fundamentals have shifted. and there is a reality that the market demands more in the second halan what is required in the first half. alternativeseral for keeping the levels that they are today. countries are looking at this, and countries have different agendas. i think we overall have to look at unity of opec as an entity and make sure we come up with a solution that is good for everybody. >> we are optimistic we'll have a successful seminar.
4:14 am
from the sessions this morning, people are very upbeat, very optimistic. my colleague has mentioned it will be 1.5. >> that is one of the most aggressive ones. they are also talking about 300-600,000 barrels. is that enough? for more, let's head to vienna and one of our reporters on the ground. annamarie, great job, he spoke to many people. saudi is proposing a plan for higher outputs. will opec work together on a deal similar to what society wants -- saudi arabia wants? don't worry, manus is all over this one.
4:15 am
he is saying on the record that one million barrels a day is what the market need. t it isreiterated about keeping the angst of the consumers to a minimum. there is clearly some pressure from china, and others. but most importantly for the united states, not just is he tweeted, but we do know that washington has been asking saudi arabia and other opec reducing countries for the capacity to increase reduction -- production. it seems like they are getting closer to a deal. will it be a deal when they say they are increasing production? this is where it gets interesting. they might be going back to 100% compliance, because right now, they are cutting more than they need to. thank you so much.
4:16 am
, our guests. diana, when you look at oil and , do they just automatically look through fuel? don't, because ultimately there is a feedback between -- feedback. for emerging markets, oil prices do matter a lot for domestic consumers. it is not something they look through. i think what comes out of this meeting and impacts oil prices going forward will be key. same time, some emerging markets benefits quite significantly. simon: yes, and their increasing role is quite interesting.
4:17 am
on the fact that there is more volatility and headline inflation that core inflation. core inflation very benign. we have seen it in the u.s. in recent years, but also in the eurozone. the ability of commodities driving up towards 2%. while i do think what goes on in vienna will be headline inflation, most of the central bankers we are talking to are focusing on that core numbe which is quite impervious to emerging markets dynamics. francine: thank you so much. both stay with us. up next, a close call. theresa may narrowly wins a key brexit vote, giving her the power to take breaks out of the eu without a deal.
4:21 am
4:22 am
319he end, lawmakers voted 23032 rejected the amendment to may's flagship breakfast bill. -- brexit bill. joining us now is our political reporter. still with us are our guests. thank you all for staying around or joining us. what happened yesterday? the vote was very narrow. it does not have to go to , but theresa may may have done some agreements on the side. >> they have made an explicit promise. they have acknowledged that in the event everything goes horribly wrong in january, parliament will get a say. of these you had one weird moments where both sides sort of said i don't really know what we are arguing about.
4:23 am
robert: he said you don't need a plan for what happens if you don't get a deal. it's like having a plan for window headquarters is overrun, you don't need one, you just run a way. if there is no deal, parliament will have a say. francine: the point is, does it in the brexiteers? robert: i think it does. wing has been urging made to have a showdown with the pro-eu way. they said they haven't got the numbers, you should take them off, she has been saying no, we have to go gently. and they were feeling pretty chipper. they were publicly magnanimous, say the whole party has come together. but privately, pretty smug.
4:24 am
francine: overall, what does this mean for theresa may? the she survived until brexit? robert: one day, she will stop being prime minister. francine: and then what will be -- we write about? [laughter] robert: we keep thinking maybe she can't make it through the week, maybe through the speech, i have thoughts on occasion. she comes back time and again. somehow, she managed to get herself through the vote, playing both sides against each other. there is a school of thought that once legislation is out of the way, they can throw her away and get someone more to their liking. but they have been saying that for a while. francine: what does that mean
4:25 am
for economies? let's start with the boe, that is the immediate focus. that, formeans is now, we will probably see them giving themselves more optionality. they will signal a hike some point this year, but try not to be as explicit on the timing, because they have been here before. for the u.k. economy, more uncertainty. but the results show that there is at least leadership and a captain at the helm. so a little bit more uncertainty , perhaps more negotiation. you might see that pickup in investment to that we need once we know what is coming through. francine: simon, the chance of a rate hike? simon: less than 50%.
4:26 am
very little core inflation went and next export growth. boe can afford to sit tight. francine: thanks for joining us. our guests stay with us. we talk about sterling and euro pound. labour, we speak to party veteran and what it means for brexit party talks. we are seeing movements when it comes to not only pound but currencies. this is bloomberg.
4:29 am
4:30 am
crucial vote. whether shes over should be able to take the u.k. out of the eu without a deal. dozens ofet to hand companies a pre-brexit bombshell. they say this controversial tax rate could lead to an excess of one billion pounds. some groups have warned of potential costs are writing. foreu leaders have called preparations in case no deal is reached. that is according to the first draft of a statement to be delivered at next week's eu summit, and say they are concerned over the lack of substantial progress, and warned there will be no transition. if no deal is reached. this is bloomberg. francine: thanks.
4:31 am
let's get back to our top brexit story, theresa may has fended off a rebellion from rebels within her own party, winning a vote to take britain out of the eu without a deal, if necessary. joining us now is a political veteran. policy the government's units before being elevated to the house of lords and serving as transport secretary more recently, he has been a vocal proponent of brexit. ,alk to me about what happened where does it leave the brexit spectrum? like most drama, it was so complicated, most people could work out precisely what -- state -- stake. ultimately, theresa may's stance has been strengthened, for two
4:32 am
reasons. firstly, parliament did not insist there has to be a legal parliamentary procedure in the event of no brexit. the second psychological thing is that the conservative rebels will be crucial if brexit is to be derailed and if there is to be a second referendum. group of them voted with the government, because they did not want to weaken theresa may, and crucially, that included dominic greene. we have the spectacle of him moving his own amendment and then to vote with the government. have a lot of market participants and chief executives watching we just want to know if they should get out of the u.k.. it more likely that theresa may stays in appraisers have more power going forward. that they could put more pressure to negotiate a harder brexit.
4:33 am
andrew: yes. it notably strengthen theresa may's hand. policy, and she is trying to find a hard brexit that works for the next 3-4 years. she wants a hard brexit with a longer transition. is now this thing called the backstop, which would continue this. for another year. concerned that you don't need to do anything in great haste. but it is still very uncertain what britain's relationship with the eu will be. francine: does it mean she wins the next one? yes, the problems keep mounting up. what is the eu's next step as well? we have talked about the uk's
4:34 am
position, but we have not seen whether they will throw what seems to be a unified position back in their face. your question on investment professionals, u.k. assets are keenly value versus global asset. there are discounts across the board. theyetings i have had, asked is this the opportunity to get back in on a. valuation ground? knowroblem is, you don't how much the currency will have to pick up the slack if you get potential government change. horizon, what the does this mean for the likelihood of a reelection for the current government, or indeed, the threat of the labour party seizing power. i will also bring euro pound up for you. the negotiating
4:35 am
position, is it in their interests to push this back? their interest is in having a stable trade relationship. the problem they have had until now is that the most stable relationship will be for them to stay in the single market. but the british government has refused, that that is somehow tainted by being eu. difficultygenuine settlementou reach a which has access in terms of trade but isn't membership of the customs union single market, because there isn't anything else on offer. they try to agree on a legal construct, what then happens is the right wing of may's party vetoes it on the ground it is to federalist, so she has to make all kinds of declarations.
4:36 am
about have a customs union has become a partnership, we have to keep inventing new terms, hoping the extreme brexit don't notice this means will be paying contributions to the european budget. francine: how does she deal with ireland? andrew: ireland is difficult. the policy is not to have a hard order. the only way not to have a hard order is to be in the customs union single market, because everything else requires something else. the rhetoric says there will be no hard order -- border. saidrish foreign minister he does not see the basis for an agreement, and he calls upon the british government to raise his game. what does it mean for when we have more clarity on what type of brexit the government wants?
4:37 am
thate moment, if we assume theresa may is just flying -- trying to make the party survive, it is unclear. simon: she is not a visionary. she is trying to come up with some sort of solution that eases not just two wins but multiple within her own party. the problem is they have been working on this for almost two years and no such elegant solution has been found. francine: she is a survivor. she is, it is useful until the point that brexit is delivered, and then somebody will remove her, somebody who is more collect orally appealing. -- politically appealing. francine: what is the chance of a second referendum? well, a whole set of votes will take place in autumn.
4:38 am
those will be the single biggest both they take this generation. having been in parliament for a long time, when these big votes every member of parliament knows their entire time will be defined by how they vote in this treaty. comerucial thing is, november, does the treaty look like a disaster? that investment decisions will suffer, that national wealth will go down. will create the referendum and will win it is the following statement, did you vote two years ago? the question is is that line credible? i think the treaty would be rejected and we could have a second referendum. but why would you call a referendum because her job is on the line. if you have a second referendum,
4:39 am
it would bring everything closer. as simon said, she has no vision at all. there is no way she will call a referendum, she does not have a majority. even despite everything that happened, she only has a majority of 16. that could change, and she could lose it. the crucial thing about the british constitution is that if we have a referendum, it does not reire a general election. referendum, she could lose it, and we could stay in the eu. would be labour party be happy to go to fresh elections? andrew: the labour party badly wants it. once it -- only a referendum at the moment could stop brexit.
4:40 am
that would be part of the dynamic in parliament. simon: there is also another point that it requires two thirds of mps to approve a general election. given what has happened in the 2017 election, and the squandering of a 20 point lead, i can see many conservative mps voting for a general election. is probably an overstated risky given that no tory and he would vote for it. andrew: it is very important that investors understand the big threat is not jeremy corbyn, it is the heart of nationalist right which is taking control of the conservative party and pushing brexit through. those people have influence on the british government, and think brexit is wrong. they should be making clear to the british government that the right course is to stop brexit, and at the very least, to have the softest possible brexit. francine: i am looking at the
4:41 am
polls, and it is very complexing. that ifyou reach your there is a second referendum that people do not want brexit. it could be so close we could have a repeat. andrew: democracy is democracy, i cannot tell you what will happen. but there are two telltale signs. 47% think brexit is a bad thing. do you think brexit negotiations are being well handled? , amongst both levers and remainders -- remainers. accumulates, i think people are realizing the knock on effect on their jobs could be significant. francine: do you want a third referendum? is there a concern that you can't keep asking the same question until you get the answer you want. reason we had a referendum was because david
4:42 am
4:45 am
's check in on what's trending across the bloomberg universe. president trump reverses course on his policy of separating children from parents. he signed an executive order that he said would end the practice. on bloomberg.com, theresa may has dodged yet another bullet, avoiding defeat over her flagship exit bill. story over thead past few hours. . -- has place, daimler cuts profit. and u.s. regulators have spent much of the past decade trying to get a better handle on deutsche bank, and a wild trading day shows how hard that will be. let's get straight to bloomberg first word news. trump is planning to
4:46 am
meet with russia's vladimir putin during his visit to europe. -- learnedas your that two possibilities are is after the meeting in brussels or when trump visits prisons. the white house declined to comment. the white house were has reversed their policy of separating children from parents who cross the border. he signed an executive order to keep families together. trump has been under intense criticism from congress, the public, and business leaders, which saw around 2000 children pace in federal custody. it is a problem that has gone on for many years, with many administrations. we are working very hard on immigration. they had been left out in the cold. china reiterates they are
4:47 am
fully prepared to respond to any u.s. tariffs. they would also said use a commendation of qualitative and quantitative measures. they have also announced they will hold a trade summit with the eu on monday. wilbur ross joins us after midday u.k. time. global news, 24 hours a day, and on tictoc, powered by more than 2700 journ, in more than hundred 20 countries, this is bloomberg. francine: thanks. let's bring you the latest on the automakers. wasbureau chief in germany bring us up-to-date with what was happening. becoming the first prominent company to cut its profit outlook due to these escalating trade tensions. chineseim that customers will now buy fewer cars after beijing slapped tariffs on u.s. auto imports.
4:48 am
it was interesting to look at the market impact. down 4.4%, volkswagen also down and bmw down. let's get into the middle east and saudi arabia's efforts to mobilize its stock market. analysts estimated this decision will lead to billions of dollars of inflows from money managers. -- joining us now is the man in charge of that stock exchange, the tadawul chief executive. thanks for joining us. what is your forecast of inflows following this decision? khalid: thank you for having me. announcement of 2.6% of total emerging markets, that dollars -- 40.s.
4:49 am
billion u.s. dollars. we estimate the passive funds to be around 25%, around 10 billion of the passive fund to be of cash inflows next year. francine: what happens after that? the timeline of the implementation, were there any surprises in it? indeed. the size of the saudi market is not small, and taking it into pieces is appropriate sector for implementation. ofjust make sure the inflows the money that transfers to saudi next year and the market is adequately implemented.
4:50 am
so we totally agree with that decision. we believe it is going to help, for better execution. while inflows to saudi stocks have been evident this year, foreigners account for very little percentage of total ownership. for ane any production increase in ownership, and how much by way -- when? khalid: following ftse inclusion last march, we have seen an increase in foreign participation in the saudi market. we expect the same for msci active funds. between now and next may. we forecast the ownership to increase until the end of year.
4:51 am
we targets to increase the 5% ownership of foreign institutions of the saudi market to 10-15% in the next 18-24 months. we are, of course, hoping to hear about the aramco ipo. are you aware of any listing or the timing? know, we are waiting for the decision to be made by aramco. but as we speak about to support the success of its ipo, regardless of the time. francine: how much time does tadawul need to prepare for that, given that there is very little it varies with will
4:52 am
listing -- dual listing? we hl: options, all scenarios. overve spoken to many their experience, and we believe we are ready with all of the necessary experience to execute such a thing. it is not going to be very difficult. the challenge goes mostly to the second mar rather than the home exchange. francine: what you expect -- when do you expect to ipo? khalid: we are making progress. we are taking into account all of the reforms that have been taken, as well as becoming
4:53 am
reforms. so, during the second half of this year, we will announce what is the timeline. francine: that do so much for your time. chief executive of tadawul stock exchange. and i hope to see you in the studio . -- next time. topping 200 dollars, as investors say they will continue to boost advertising revenue. toward $600lly billion, making it the fifth biggest company behind apple, amazon, alphabet, and microsoft. so have investor concern eased over the social networks privacy troubles. paul, great to have you in london. it's nice to have a conversation face-to-face.
4:54 am
is facebook on track as it was a couple months ago before we had these concerns? paul: it seems to have blown by a little bit. any times you are asked to step in front of congress, that is a change in tenor of regulatory oversight of your in the region. tech has always had to deal with european regulation, you going back to microsoft. so it is something they have always had to deal with. but it changed a little bit when congress asked facebook to come in front and testified. therere was concern that was a significant see change in. have been so much news, this seems to have taken a back burner. what is left is the fundamentals of the industry, of the companies. mentioned, they continue to perform very well and put up strong numbers. francine: especially instagram.
4:55 am
it is really doing well. what are they doing? paul: they recently announced just yesterday that there are going to have a longform video option to his -- to instagram. they will essentially go after youtube. is significant is because advertising on digital video is actually the fastest form of advertising growth on the internet. it is better than display or search advertising. if you are in the digital advertising business, you have to be in video, and this is another step for facebook. francine: while significance, is this taking market share from other people. is it just people wanting more social presence? in terms of user time, users are spending more time with online video. the dollars are coming from traditional television. $70 billion are spent on ads in the u.s., that is the pie
4:56 am
youtube is going after and its rim is going after. -- instagram is going after. they are making inroads. francine: bloomberg surveillance continues in the next hour. tom keene's joins me out of new york. it will be graced to get his take on these trade wars in the u.s. and china. reminder, daimler is the first european corporation come out saying they have to lower their predictions and forecast because of trade war. we talk about that and brexit, this is bloomberg.
5:00 am
first company to see the u.s. china as a threat to profit. iran softens its stance on any output. we are live in vienna as a group meets. theresa may lives to fight another day. she survives a vote in parliament over her brexit bill. welcome to "bloomberg surveillance." i'm francine lacqua. we look at daimler as the first company in europe citing trade war's. we also look at brexit. tom: the daimler story is interesting. you have to believe there'll be a lot more these coming on. is the idea of china going directly after companies. that is percolating below the trade debate. francine: it certainly is.
5:01 am
let's get straight to the bloomberg first word news. >> the chances of opec agreeing on oil production chances appear to have improved. iran edged away from a threat to veto any deal that would increase output. it is optimistic that saudi arabia wants to increase production. we spoke to i rock -- we spoke to iraq's oil minister. as i said -- [inaudible] >> a formal decision will come tomorrow. president trump has reversed himself on the policy of separating families who cross the border illegally. he signs an executive order he says will end the practice. previously said only congress will halt the practice.
5:02 am
the order does not say when children will be reunited. president trump plans to meet with vladimir putin sometime next month. it coulde place before the or afterit on july 11 president trump goes to the u.k. on july 13. president trump has made it clear he wants to restore russia's place in the international community. british prime minister theresa may one of vote to prevent lawmakers from having a vote over the final brexit deal but the authorities are far from convinced the vote will make the process any more smoothly. everything you need to know about the world cup, get on the bloomberg terminal and go to w cup. global news 24 hours a day, on air and @tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: let's get to the data.
5:03 am
equities, bonds, currencies, commodities. churning right now, the curve flattening, where it has been. euro is weaker. screen. vix, 13.30.the new dollar strength. jpmorgan, emerging market. gold cannot get a bid. i am watching gold. it is a strange data check today, francine. francine: is a strange and all-encompassing data check. tom: look at sterling. francine: emerging assets are sliding. stirling is to do with the brexit vote. overall i think treasury yields is where i look at the fault line.
5:04 am
china reiterated threats to retaliate against the proposed american tariffs. european core bonds drifting while peripherals fall. tom: let's get a chart on fx. this is asia fx without japan. this is called a dxy 1997. we talked to the finance minister of indonesia. strong asia recovery. here's the new rollover. this distance is mainly -- is maybe the distance of gain or maybe dollar strength and asia weakness. you're wondering if that is the path that will get us to real angst in fx. francine: what i am looking at is the pound/dollar. it is sliding closer to pound euro. this is why the chart matters.
5:05 am
overall, theresa may survived to fight another day on brexit, but what we need to ask ourselves is at what cost? we understand the prime minister's promises could have him bolder brexiters in her party and some of the risks are that the remainders are angered because they lost the vote and there will be more votes to come . the situation is fluid. tom: i understand it is a parliamentary system. is this normal? is this taken within the domestic press as normal british politics? francine: normal is a difficult word because we have never done this before. if you look at history, the first time the u.k. wants to extract itself out of the eu, this will be a president for the future -- this will be a p recedent for the future. let's get back to our top story.
5:06 am
daimler is the first corporation to blame tariffs on lower profit outlook. in london we have dan morris, senior investment strategist. let' get straight to india. what do we think india will do? they seem to be following the steps of europe in retaliating? hiked tariffs on chickpeas, apples. this is clearly retaliation to the trump administration increasing duties on aluminum and steel india believes hearts domestic industry and it believes violates global trading rules. this cannot have, at a worse time for india. oil prices are increasing we see on the economy.
5:07 am
a global trade war and a war with united states is not something a can afford at this juncture. benedict, if you look at daimler becoming the first to predict their profit will be hit by a trade is this an excuse or will they be hit? : the timing of the announcement is strange. they gave a fairly up -- we have had analysts asking about the timing. in the whiteised flag even before the trade war has kicked off. are they using this as an excuse. trade is not the only you should -- not the only reason they mentioned. iscould well be that this business not performing as it should be in china and it may have preemptively come out with this today. if we see the other carmakers following suit, for the time
5:08 am
being it is unclear what is behind it. francine: thank you so much. dan, if you look at the trade war's, how will this end? will he get more ugly? you mentioned the midterms. that is the key factor in trump stock elation's of when to step back. supposedly the tariffs are popular with his constituents because he is defending factory workers and steel companies. at the same time, a declining stock market, which we have not but if the market started to decline and we see signs of slowing growth. that will probably not be popular. we stick to the view will be able to find a negotiated outcome. the pain, even if it is greater for europe and china than for u.s., it would be bad enough for
5:09 am

that finds this episode horrific and said. -- and sad. what they have to do is come to some sort of agreement that deals with both of those challenges. i think they are far off from reaching some sort of settlement. there are bills floating around the house and senate. some of them deal with the issue of separation of parents and children. without a wider immigration reform package i think it is hard to see how this is not going to continue. francine: i do not know whether this is an unfair question, but does this hurt trump with his base? has it hurt him? open the: it has laid split within the republican party. i think you are seeing the base, the hard-core base back him despite viewing what we have seen and the images we have seen as appalling.

lords. he goes for rail ascent next week. great, fantastic, that is one down. there is a whole load to go. we are in this extra long parliamentary session that a year and a half ago may said we we haved this because loads of legislation to get through, and then she did not get her majority. since then, we are at this point whether it loads of legislation cued up and she won't bring it because she is worried about these back-and-forth beca, .nife-edge votes and rebellions the amount of effort getting this one through, and this one was one we thought was going to be quite easy. francine: what does she do with ireland? we heard from the irish foreign
6:34 am
minister saying theresa may's failure to make progress is starting to irritate them. >> i can imagine. it is fascinating. the answer is we don't know. there are three things that are true. the british government does not want a border between northern ireland and southern island, a border between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k., and does not want to be in a customs union with the rest of the european union. you can have any two of those, but you can't have all three. for months, years, we have in saying, which two? we will people think end up in some kind of customs union because the other two are harder to do, but a significant number of tories are prepared to northernrder between arm in an southern ireland, or a border in the irish sea. constitutionally that is problematic because that moves
6:35 am

6:36 am
i thought your commentator did a good job of explaining the complete confusion. thought he did really well. nobody could have done it we will see what happens. the thing he didn't say is if you give some special deal for wantern ireland, wales may that deal. scotland will want that deal, so that is a third thing. if you have a separate deal for northern ireland, it's going to be more and more confusing. i thought your commentator was fantastic. surebuy his book and make everybody a dartmouth college buys his book. , you as ablanchflower liberal voice, explain to conservatives what happens right now the day brexit goes into effect. >> oh goodness me. i think the way you said that. that sounds like a cliff edge.
6:37 am
i think that is not what is going to happen. we will see a slow and gradual move towards it. i think it would be very disastrous to have a cliff edge. the uncertainty would be huge. the negotiations have effectively killed off economic growth in the u.k., and likely to do so going forward. the data on incoming investment is very bad. , pointhe first quarter to forecasted for the second brexit, so if a hard were to come, that would be disastrous. i think the markets will drive this thing and it will go for a long time, and it will be fudge brexit, not a cliff edge brexit. francine: good morning from london. it is francine. peoplebrexit a lot of were saying this would be a disaster. we have not seen that.
6:38 am
>> we have seen of slowing. itncine: we have seen slowing, but not the disaster a lot of people were saying. >> it was part of the politics of the debate. we clearly have seen an economy slowing. if you look before the brexit was probably the best performing country in europe certainly. it now looks like the sick man of europe. yes, it has not been a cliff-edge disaster, but the central bank stepped in and countered some of the great weakness at the time, but the uncertainty of what is coming and what we have just listened to, how can confirms know where to place their investment? in theasically anarchy houses in westminster. that looking forward is the problem. if you know what is coming, then
6:39 am
you can plan. can how any firm plan for what is coming? i don't know. francine: what does it mean for mark carney's planning? i have a viewer question. please continue sending those questions on tv . do you think the vote will change? >> i don't think we will see much of the change in the vote. in reality they made another horrible error. the market saw 100% prospect of her rate rise. it never made any sense to me. there was no data to sustain it. , nowthey had the backtrack looking very weak. if anything right now, the vote should probably be for a cut, not that the committee would do economy is not doing
6:40 am
well. there is no argument whatsoever for a rate rise. the problem they have is if the economy starts to tank, what do they do? they have very few air rose in their quiver. it does not look that mays government can do anything. i think that is a real concern going forward. they can't cut by much. they will probably have to go negative. qe,ill be back to lots of so there is great concern about fiscal and monetary policy in the u.k. because of the chaos going on. based on thising craziness around brexit, and that is a hard and to do. the risks all look to be to the doside. tom: one of the most important papers of the year is david bell and david blanchflower on full employment. i want you to respond right now to your profession that says america is fully employed. well if you look at
6:41 am
yesterday's speech that jerome powell made in your it -- in europe, he clearly has doubts. most of the stuff i hear shows no understanding of the labor market. if you were close to full employment, you would see wages taking off. we have not seen that. all we have heard for the last 10 years is that it is about to come. the u.s. and u.k. labor markets are very far away from full employment. what is driving wages is in fact under employment and non-employment. we can show now that that is very far away from full employment. that is the explanation as to why there is no wage growth. all they keep saying is that it is coming. technologys the overlay here. this labor market is not in the labor textbooks that we studied
6:42 am
in school. what is the technology overlay? wei think the overlay is have globalization going on. we have this thing called the great recession. what the great recession did is it scared workers senseless. worried about what might happen, that the firms will go abroad, that they will lose their jobs, so they are not pushing for wage growth at all. if a firm has lots of people there saying i would like to work more hours at the going wage and there aren't enough hours, why not? is answer is labor demand not high enough right now to take all the people available. the world changed in 2008. the globalization got greater. all those things that we were taught, that world has changed, the phillips curve has
6:43 am
flattened. than 4%,ser to 2.5% and those people who keep saying they know where full employment is have no explanation as to why wages are not rising. they are not rising because the u.s. is a long way from full employment, driven mostly by under employment still being high come and that is the explanation. the central banks and the fed are making it error because it does not understand the labor market. francine: neil, do you agree with that? >> danny is the expert when it comes to the labor market. i would not like to disagree. why have we got record low unemployment and no wage growth picking up? i think one argument you might have is the phillips curve is flat. we don't know how much is globalization. some people talk about whether
6:44 am
you have a kink in the phillips curve. suddenlyget is everything kicks in and wage growth picks up. the one thing you would say is in financial markets over the last five years, everyone said it is just around the corner, but it keeps failing to materialize. my sense is the phillips curve is essentially flat. that is the heart of the issue. rate.ront i want you to respond to the academics comment on the double or triple plug-in. he is saying nehru is sub 3%. no one at the fed is saying that, are they? >> there are several questions here. what is nehru? we can agree it is lower than in the past. tom: but blanche flour is going
6:45 am
way come away away. >> no-win knows where that neutral rate real interest rate is either. this is a great challenge policymakers have. they are desperate to get rates back to a normal level. of theat is the cost central bank that does not go with your nehru estimate? of two high aice plug-in within their calculus? major impact. it hurts people, lowers their wages, lowers living standards, reduces employment, reduces hours. i agree with everything just said. let's put this in context. says thein its minutes nehru's 4.5% and wages are exploding. it is 3.8% and it isn't. the answer is they are tightening too soon, the economy will slow.
6:46 am
that will hurt people. givehould let the economy a kick, and that would raise wages. the fed has it wrong. tom: we have to leave it there. thank you so m and an esteemed juergen,h this. daniel it is a morning to speak of the commanding heights. we will speak of that in a moment. haveuergen wonderful to you with this. why is this be in that meeting different from other opec meetings? >> what makes it different is there are two things. .t is not just opec it is also non-opec. the second thing is the recognition that the price crash is over and it is now going into a different era. era i look at the different
6:47 am
we are in, and it is supply and demand, microeconomics. is there an underestation of demandina? actually there has been a recognition that demand has been strong the last few years. saying theme synchronized boom is no longer synchronize, interest rates are going up, emerging markets. there is turbulence on the subject of trade, trade wars and so forth. that is out there. basically they are looking at strong demand. atthe same time, looking geopolitical risks, otherwise known as a total collapse in venezuela. about thetalk to me
6:48 am
meeting on friday, whether iran is on board, whether opec decides to increase production or not. do you have any doubt that russia and saudi will stick to their agreement of increasing production? here, whatthe mood you are hearing, is a converging consensus, i think, on the , that it will go up. there has been the chronic prices,that with low there is a situation of underinvestment. that has been very much on the minds here. everybodyem that
6:49 am
involved, that there will be a to take this of the in alliance to a new level. francine: what does that mean for the price of oil? how much is priced in? i don't know. i could take a guess on that, but i think just from the flavor of things that a lot is priced in. the expectations are there, maybe a few days ago people talked about a sharp crisis or confrontation. thes also interesting to me degrees to which the voicef the consumer is being heard in vienna. could be in the united states, but also india, china, and even russian consumers. francine: let me bring in neil.
6:50 am
priceoes the higher oil and the soon to be lower price mean for central bank expectations? >> at the moment most central banks in the developed world are happy to look through any inflation shock that may have come from the rise in oil prices, then the fallback in oil prices, the fed can ecb, boe will look through that. where it starts to have an impact is emerging markets, this perfect storm of higher prices and weaker currencies. bank thisico central afternoon. i would not be surprised to see a rate hike there. tom: i go back -- >> look what happened in brazil. tom: and brazil as well. the head of the state oil company resigned because of protests on prices. tom: we have to leave it there. thank you so much. we greatly appreciate that.
6:51 am
reporting, and then there are bombshells. yesterday bloomberg published a story on deutsche bank. perfect within the week of the cfa institute exams. it is on value at risk. one of the reasons he studied value at risk is to learn how worthless it is. let me show you a chart. obviously it is not tv ready. this is the crutch of value at risk at any major bank. on guest to joins us now hundreds of millions of dollars of loss of deutsche bank. congratulations on your reporting. this is extraordinary reporting. i want to ask two questions. was mr. cryan shown the door
6:52 am
because of his trading error? >> there were a lot of errors at deutsche bank that a lot of regulators, including the federal reserve -- tom: is this the final straw. >> in the first quarter, they had that loss were they 35 billiony sent dollars to another client. there is a lot of volatility in the first quarter. we don't know what it looked like in terms of total losses. we do know it was staggering. tom: what is fascinating about the, and i go back to incredibly important risk management article in the new thistimes in 2009, why is a ministry? this is award-winning reporting. why did you have to do this instead of shareholders going we made a mistake, which happens on wall street. why is it a struggle to get this data? >> with the regulatory filing in may, this is not something that
6:53 am
comes out in the annual report. mostholders don't look at it. by the time the court goes by, you absorb the information and we find this number that was very outsized. translate to a al loss. the reason it is hard for regulators is that it happened in the u.s. operations. with the european regulator see is a different picture. 2006, francine. francine: it could. that is a big affirmation. is this a problem with certain banks, or a problem about how you value risk overall in the financial sector? >> it is a problem with both. it is a problem with deutsche bank in this instance because regulators did ask, and it is something only u.s. regulators can see. did not see the ecb anything strange happening in
6:54 am
the first quarter. with all banks, deutsche bank's figure was 12 times. tom: 12 times value at risk. bnp paribas is the worst one. deutsche bank is like this, right? when you weressue talking about the uselessness of the measure, there are different measures of value at risk. is one we are talking about regulatory value at risk, which is more stringent men with the banks themselves calculate. if they weren't aware of anything unusual, does it mean it is weaker in europe? know, the loss happened in the u.s. operations, so we don't know how it was offset somewhere else. is that its indicate makes it difficult for regulators to understand what kind of risks are being taken here and there. tom: the first quarter there was
6:55 am
some upset in february. do you have a clue what they enjoyed losing these dollars on? was it a trade? how did they enjoyed losing these many millions? >> i would like to know. tom: get to work. seriously. how come we don't know t how come deutsche bank shareholders don't know this? >> it is not something they are required to disclose. tom: how much did they lose? >> if you do the math, it implies $400 million. tom: your math is they lost $400 million in one day? >> they are not required to disclose that and that is not in the regulatory filing. tom: will this be changed? sure if regulators were asking the question, investors must be as well. how much disclosure
6:56 am
they decide to give. tom: congratulations on this reporting. we look for more of it in the coming days. bloomberg news on a massive loss at deutsche bank. wilbur ross, u.s. secretary of commerce, this will be quite an interview after the forbes article the other day. coming up in our incredibly busy news day, bank of england and four minutes as well. wilbur ross and the next hour. please stay with us worldwide, this is bloomberg. ♪
