4:05 am
powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. francine: the fate of angela merkel's coalition is to be decided today. separate meetings of merkel's cdu and its sister party broke up well after midnight with no public resolution to the standoff. everyone knows it serious. i would like christian democratic party and christian socially and still continue working together. together, we are very strong and people have expectations of us. important not to be unilateral, coordinated, at the expense of third parties. parties are holding joint talks in berlin later today in the attempt to broker a compromise.
4:06 am
joins us from berlin. walk us through what exactly happened. we had some rather dramatic talks that extended into the early morning hours today. those talks taking place in munich and berlin. minister, heterior is the head of the christian social union. the bavarian party threatening to quit. we thought at one point he was actually going to step down and then he pulled back from that. these 11th hour talks today, he will be meeting with chancellor merkel at 5:00 p.m. local time to discuss if there is a way out of this crisis. anthey are not able to reach agreement, we expect it is likely he will actually step down from his post in the move will have to see how things play out from there.
4:07 am
-- and then we will have to see how things play out from there. francine: where does this go from now? >> we will have to wait and see how these taxes payout. we are likely looking at another late night of discussions between mr. zhang oh-fer and chancellor merkel and others. decide they are unhappy with any compromise, he would potentially quit the government and quit as head of his party, which he had threatened to do last night. from there, we will have to see if the members of his own party back him and stick with this stance they have. case, you're looking at the possibility they could pull out of this coalition government . then merkel would have to decide
4:08 am
whether she moves forward with a minority government or tries to bring another party into the government. this is all speculation at this point. it depends on how these talks play out later this afternoon here in berlin. francine: what is the likelihood of another not been chancellor in two weeks because of this? it seems very unlikely that she will end up stepping down as chancellor. she has very strong support within her own party for stats. out thisn polls morning show that a strong majority, two thirds of germans, backers stance on migration so it seems more than likely this would lead to her having -- it seems unlikely this would lead to her having to step down. it looks more like there would be some change within the christian social union should they not meet some sort of
4:09 am
agreement. francine: thank you so much. he is our german bureau chief, chad thomas. what does it mean for the euro and investments? burkholdow is varnholt. he is a professor at the london school of economics. in me start with you. -- let me start with you. if angela merkel doesn't have to resign, she was soon -- still be weakened by it. what is this mean for europe? europe.ed stability in you would think there would be another franco german alliance leading the rest of europe but it's presenting huge problems.
4:10 am
number one is migration. number two is euro and the eurozone. especially in italy. past, the problem was always france and germany divided in leadership. now that there is stability, there is a big power vacuum being created. it's not clear where they are leading. i agree with merkel's policies. francine: the markets today are little bit down. they're actually trying to figure out political risk and what trade war means but they're not looking at germany per se. is a mistake? markets never like turmoil. the -- this is why we have been underweight eurozone equities for some time.
4:11 am
i would say that history is littered with people that believe they weren't replaceable and as it turns out, nobody is. francine: it changes the course of the nation, right. countries and politicians have two sorts of power. soft power in hard power. mrs. merkel throughout her years has been a master at bouncing soft and hard powers. it is one of her towering strengths. this is not the first time she is challenging. not the first time a german chancellor was challenged. this storm will also pass in the euro will recover. do you see the putting thequestion european project that risk? frontier that may be
4:12 am
difficult for the markets to price in. it's difficult to see how the migration crisis will affect it. generally a mike -- an anti-migration feeling throughout europe. the northern countries say why me, i have taken enough. is biggest problem of all although migration flows are down this year, they're going to get worse because of demographics. africa and middle east are growing faster than europe. there is no policy and we would see what policy is coming.

be threatened with closed borders. some countries may say they are done with open borders. in other countries, they would put an end and continually with free trade and single market. and not with movement of people. bring you overe to a market chart that we did. you to the queen of charts. when you look back at history, the 10 year yield is low on absolute basis. the german yield has been harder -- higher for euro-based investors than the 10 year u.s. yield. are you a buyer at this moment? it would be premature to ration buying them at these levels. realrisis this time is not but a political crisis.

4:18 am
let's check in on the markets. you one of my favorite boards. stocks are slumping because they're trying to figure out the trade risk and what it means for their investments. political risk also dragging on the euro and the pound. overall, we also need to look at mexico and the peso diversity -- reversing games. of your marketl action but let's get straight to the bloomberg business flash. here is kaylee. tesco is to form a purchasing alliance with a french retailer. it will increase leverage with suppliers. the lines between two of europe's largest retailers will combine annual sales of about 100 71 billion dollars for managing purchasing for branded goods and private label items. they expect to conclude the
4:19 am
agreement within the next two months and that will last for three years. --n musk says tesla made tesla just became a real car company after meeting its production target. they produced 5000 of the cold -- of the cars last week. they built a third production line. move described by an auto analyst as insanity. the company's largest investor goes against the deal with the steelmakers supervisor board met on friday. that's according to a bloomberg source. they have faced months of pressure from activist investors. is less attractive. that's the bloomberg business flash. let's focus on trade
4:20 am
and tariffs. auto companies and parts suppliers are urging the trump administration not to boast duties -- boost duties on imported cars. they are saying import duties would be devastating and jeopardize investment plans in the u.s.. this comes as president trump continues to lash out at harley davidson. >> i think they're going to take a big hit. it's a great american products and our people have more pride than they used to have. people who are buying harley davidson, they don't wanted it built in another country. our guests join us again. thank you both for staying with us. you are pretty optimistic about investment and the markets. what do you think about something like trade war we
4:21 am
don't know at the end game is for the trump administration and if it will hit automakers. is aard: the trade war serious risk and we need to take into consideration but what i just saw, it sounds a lot like political campaigning and is good reason to assume that some of this is related to the midterm elections, which would give us a sense of where or when this might end. we have seen that the administration has been willing to call victory with more or less than what they initially set out to achieve. sectors orfrom countries that are most affected by this but see light at the end of the tall is how i would describe it. i've heard over and over in the markets, this is political campaigning. he seems to have followed through every election promise
4:22 am
so far. why straight different? burkhard: because he is also making american shares go down for his foot of success. not for a while. burkhard: at the end of this year, he wants to say that u.s. shares are up and unemployment muchwn and he believes more voters will be able to give him much more credit if he can refer to those yardsticks. he is watching markets and he will not be ready to crash markets sustainably. francine: do you agree with that? are we in a trade war right now we don't know where it ends? christopher: that's exactly what i think. wants to show his good for markets but that's exactly what
4:23 am
the problem is. the actual tariff is not a big problem to a company planning their future. the problem is that you don't know what coming next. uncertainty and instability in policy is the worst thing for investor. it's the worst thing for these companies. the european union will , chinate further because is a more difficult problem. it costs china more. they are going to retaliate for political reasons. i just came back from china.
4:24 am
talked to very influential corporations in china and policymakers. irritated by the whole approach. can this get to a point where we are seeing a global recession? or at least a slowdown of growth that is significant enough to hurt central banks? christopher: i can see it happening, yes. highermon nation of tariffs and uncertainty can slow down investments for sure. i can see a general global -- .here is more slowing down
4:25 am
central banks will need to respond somewhere. francine: what is your take on china overall? we had quite a bit of a selloff. it started again today. burkhard: it's the eye of the storm but let's not forget the irony in this whole story is that as this trade war speeds up, it could unravel and even accelerate what i would call the rise of the new world order where in china will make their currency convertible sooner than expected. this is a process that is by no means smooth but it would do great good for china as a country and the financial markets. they may fully liberalized financial markets because they are two sides of the same coin. imagine difficult to that china's stock market

4:31 am
we'll give sterling impetus or not is what will happen with theresa may. whether she can hold onto her job and convince her cabinet to be more united. has elected its first left-wing president in decades. the election is seen as a public revolt against crime and poverty. join us now is our emerging markets team leader. she's in dubai. right to have you. what does this mean for mexico? there's a big? weather this economic model will continue considering he has said he will roll back some of the programs that have been in place. there is a lot of uncertainty among investors right now. they are nervous about what he
4:32 am
is going to do. he has tried to calm everybody by saying he is not going to do drastic rings but he said there will be some changes. mixed messages there. this comes at a time when emerging markets are under a lot of pressure because of the dollar nominated that's. -- debts. this is the worst time to have uncertainty in any economy or government. investors are looking for any excuse to sell assets across emerging markets. now that the dollar is rising, there's a lot of concern that is what -- that what is happening in mexico may change the picture. if you were to look at mexico, you would see a country that a lot of investors would like to invest in. yes there are some deficits and there is some concern over economic growth but on the whole , the economy is doing quite
4:33 am
well in the assets are attractive. if he starts to roll back the programs that investors think add to the economic picture in mexico, we might see the peso fall into the same category as countries like turkey and argentina. but that really depends on what he says. francine: they get so much. dana from dubai. weeks have been tumultuous for emerging markets. not been helped by the federal reserve's continuing tightening. within minutes of last month on tap, this we could get em investors some clues. -- this week could get em investors some clues.
4:34 am
actions in mexico changer outlook for the country or emerging markets? surely a change of the outlook for mexico. mexico has enormous economic and political challenges to deal with but it is a country that investors want to invest in. it has amazing human capital and is a very productive country and economy. government manages to make it easier to do business in , and let's not forget that left-wing governments do have a surprisingly good track record, and if they manage to make it easier to do business, that is thoroughly -- that is surely better for mexico and south america. there is a wave of people fed up with corruption and living wages. does that time back to populism?
4:35 am
christopher: i wouldn't think so. mexico is usually the bottom country and many statistics. when you see fundamentals of the economy and where it is located, it should be doing better. it should have a lot more and if you ask why it's politics and political corruption. uncertainty,e is about what is going to do, i don't think investors would be so worried and run away from it because the past wasn't good anyway. you look at the mexican peso overnight and you can see the highest level of
4:36 am
volatility since the u.s. election. how well the new president interacts with president trump, will it be more attack in the stick or what he ratcheted down -- more antagonistic or ratcheted down? he could go both ways but is unlikely to be anywhere in between. let's give him the benefit of the doubt. a lot of these emerging markets issue debt in dollars and will have a tough time. to have an that's and thea and turkey others haven't, really. i'm surprised they reacted so much to the dollar because they have changed and become much less commodity dependent and much more of a technology market. it's also to do with the fact that they are so slow and overly dependent on foreign capital flows. that's what i referred to before. this whole thing may speed up
4:37 am
the rise of a new world order which will lead to more liberalized markets in american markets and asia. they will drive their financial markets, equity and bond markets, and if you look at it , this is the most attractive investment opportunity for equity markets in regions around the world. francine: do you worry about emerging markets? christopher: not really, no. markets growing even more stable, it will help emerging markets. how fast it will move, i'm not so sure. the chinese, especially, are very cautious about opening up
4:38 am
their markets because they are controlled by the state. the currentith leadership, they don't want to open up too much. the new president of mexico is a germany sodant of what he does their is also some hints at what we will see here. we will talk about what that will mean for the u.k.. our vote -- our guests both stay with us. aboutconfusing claims whether or not saudi arabia is going to increase oil output, president trump still -- stirs the pot again. that up next. this is bloomberg.

4:45 am
oil prices are driven by supply and demand and it's a much more complicated thing. francine: what is your read across this? is the angle that trump is getting involved in things that traditionally other presidents ?aven't christopher: it's difficult to see where the price of oil is going in the short-term and it's because trump just speaks without having to think very much about evidence. he sends a tweet in the middle of the night. opec is a very big supplier but ofentially now, the price oil is driven by an increase in demand and how long it takes to bring back into production.
4:46 am
would oil experts are saying is aat $68 a barrel should be maximum when production comes through. is it in a range? do you have to adjust lower or higher? burkhard: the way to invest in to be invested in energy companies across the entire chain. they are the real winners. trying to trade in a choppy you will lose this game. francine: the cabinet prepares

they had to build a whole new production line. they able to do it at high qualities so there are no recalls? also, are they able to sustain that number or is it a one-off? francine: does it affect demand for the cars? alex: at the moment, they have more demand than supply. that's the issue. are some customers going to say they want their money back. i paid this two years ago and there's still no sign of my car. if they are ramping up production, maybe that won't manifest so quickly. is a tech company or a car company? if you look at german car companies, the people at the top would be real engineers, not

or they could keep moving on. francine: how weekend is angela merkel? we have always heard she's the ultimate game maker, bringing everyone together. can she handle this in a way that no one else can? there's an assumption that she has one that because she has the backing of her party. there is a poll this morning showing that two thirds of voters backed her. the cse was not winning this game politically but it's probably not that simple. even if it passes, somehow they reach a compromise, we can start asking how weekend merkel is. canmany of these disputes she survived and maintain her authority? that's also an open question. francine: thank you so much.

government operates. that leaves investors a little bit of time to think about how this will change. it's going to be very important to see the different announcements he makes about his policies. in order to try to identify any meaningful risks. this will be more of a medium-term type rather than a short term type to the mexican economy. i think a weaker peso is going to be a constraint. the nafta talks are going to potentially freeze investments from abroad and that's another problem that he will have to confront. i think that creates a lot of uncertainty that will test his ability to achieve this policy objectives. tom: thank you for bringing this up. timeline? does he have days, the see of

any length. you may see less cancellations of the model three. there are bright spots. if it works, he continues to be a genius and my hat goes off to him. the ingenuity and adaptability that you are seeing from tesla and the elon musk companies is very inspiring, i'm just not sure that it's a sustainable model for a car company. from their cars is absolute safety and dependability. let me pick up on the manual labor with your wonderful expertise. this is how asia and china did it, manual labor. you mentioned, mr. musk seems to be doing this as well. it doesn't work anymore because the technological tolerances of our technology, whether automobile or computer. mitch and spices before with mccormick.
6:48 am
manual labor doesn't get it done anymore. car companies in china today are some of the most automated in the world. there's a reason for that. at this point, it's not about lower costs because cost is a proportion of the total cost structure from labor and it's pretty small. most of the reason they use automation is because of high tolerances. capital labor dynamics have changed and was interesting about that is the word for 2018 is scale. everyone is out there trying to find scale to make profit. to findeth masters scale on something like tesla? define scale on sunday like tesla?
