more clarity. limits to growth. the cfo at facebook warns of revenue growth declining for the rest of the year. $16erberg and at least billion in stock in freefall. as investors search for clues in rate hikes, the definition for summer, and qe investments. and president trump and john kline longer -- jean-claude juncker declare a cease-fire. to "bloomberg daybreak" on this thursday, july 26. got aneel, we have earnings day. and $.65 angs coming share, that seems to be a beat as well. revenues a little light, coming in 25.
7:01 am
david: the question is -- what is going on with subscribers? directv, for example, they are really losing subscribers. what else are they really going to do to protect themselves? alix: another earnings here, bristol-myers, earnings coming in over one dollar, but they see the full-your adjusted earnings. they raised the high end of that -- actually, the raised the whole thing, the high-end at $3.65, so increasing their full-year earnings outlook. david: under armour, good news, revenue better than expected at 1.7%. duringof the turnaround the question is -- how fast can they make that turnaround? but they did better, that loss was less than expected. meantime, we have airlines earnings out. spirit had a beat. today, we have southwest. they had a lot of trouble with, you remember, that fatal engine
7:02 am
accident. alix: oh, yeah. david: it was rough. they are turning around in the third quarter, they think they will be in much better shape. they think they will be growing again. alix: go ahead. david: we will have the southwest ceo on later today, gary kelly, in a couple of hours. sorry. alix: definitely looking at that. horton also out. yesterday, the homebuilder was at a 10-month low. we had disappointing home permit data, so this is not bad news necessarily for the company, pretax profit margin forecast for the full year. quarter, about 12%, so pretty solid there as well. david: and we have allergan out with second quarter earnings. $4.17.eat with
7:03 am
alix: i want to touch on conoco real quick. earnings coming in at $1.09 a share. alix: i want to touch on conoco realconoco boosting the forecasr full-your production, and they have capital, still pretty much remaining unchanged, but they did cut capital guidance, and they are boosting their full-year views. be these guys, it will critical, how much money they are making from the rally in oil and what they wind up doing with it. strong, are pretty cutting capital guidance, but they are boosting. they are cutting capital guidance. david: but the question is -- what do they do with the money? will they have buybacks, shares? have not seeni that come out in the press release, but they did have about 1.5%. that is analysts do not want to own that company particularly. exxon, you will see a buyback coming. it will be a good day.
7:04 am
david: your favorite. alix: totally my favorite. facebook earnings weighing on as equity futures. very different story third into the ecb, euro-dollar a little bit weaker, $1.17. we have been range bound for a while. if there anything that mr. draghi could say that would break us out of that range? improve flat despite some geopolitical risk premiums that should be priced in considering the conflict with who the rebels from yemen. yemen.hi rebels from she is already laughing at us, gina martin adams, bloomberg equity chief strategist. david warner, the facebook cfo, gave these reasons for currency being low -- greater user control over privacy. here is what one analyst had to say on the call yesterday.
7:05 am
>> i want to go back to the magnitude of the deceleration. i think many investors are decelerating.em that type of deceleration considering how good the advertising advertiser feedback is on your platform. it just seems like the magnitude is beyond anything we have seen, especially crossing the number that we do not cover. alix: that is a nice way of analysts saying "what the what?" [laughter] alix: i will pull it up. anyway, gina, talk about how bad this is for facebook and overall tech. gina: obviously it is very bad for facebook. we have to remember, a company this size having a 20% decline, that is pretty phenomenal. what it means for overall tech is pretty close to nothing. alix: really? gina: there is still a lot of
7:06 am
growth in broad tech. for tech at large, 80% of companies reporting earnings are still beating estimates. it might have sentiment impacts on the broader sector. certainly it will be a drag on the index and a drag rise performance, but is it a drag on overall economics and earnings performance? no, i do not think it is. david: how much of this is an investor relations issue? they are still growing. they are making a lot of money, but as you heard, the analyst saying "what is going on?" had issues.y have they try to paper over those issues, and as you said, without guidance, it is a lift that we do not expect. it is throwing and currency whence and saying that is one of our problems. every corporation that says "we lost money because of a currency shift," is basically admitting
7:07 am
they are just not paying attention to what is going on around them. alix: the bank stocks got hit off of that. facebook hit a record high yesterday. what does this mean for amazon for tonight. investors will be on guard for some sort of news out of amazon. as a result, if amazon does beat expectations and guide positively, the stock will probably react even more positively than would otherwise be the case. there is no link between facebook issues and amazon's potential issues. they are two separate issues. are idiosyncratic risks impacting facebook, not necessarily symptoms of broader economic weakness or broader revenue weakness for the tech sector. i think they are specific issues that facebook faces. amazon is a significantly different type of company, diversify, consumer discretionary, it is retail where facebook is not. together -- they
7:08 am
are not actually the same businesses. they will not face the same type of risks necessarily. david: i want to get to the second story come all the way to yesterday before 4:00 in the afternoon, if you can remember that far, we were talking about trade, president trump meeting with mr. juncker in a showdown, and then they came out at the close, and by the way, just as facebook was announcing his earnings, take him out and said well, we will put this on hold for a bit. this is what president trump had to say about what the united states will get out of this may be deal. pres. trump: we will also work to reduce barriers and increase trade in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical products, as well as soybeans. secondly, we agreed to a strengthened and strengthening of our strategic cooperation with respect to energy. the european union wants to import more liquefied natural
7:09 am
gas, lng, from the united states, and they are going to be a very big buyer. we will make it much easier for them, but they will be a massive buyer. david: i want to look at this through the lens of equity. i look at it all through automobiles. is a little bit different message because of the time differences, but the upper water, the white and blue is vw the german guys. they were going down, and then they came up at the bottom of the trade deal. at the bottom is ford and gm. they went down, but they did not come back up again. very different stories because they were so worried about european tariffs. gina: it just so happens that ford and gm both missed expectations. beat expectations, but they cut down their forecast. down their, they cut
7:10 am
guidance. trade improve the outlook, but at the same time, you have companies coming out with information that says the outlook is not looking so great in the u.s., so that creates a diversion. also, the general view this week was the european auto dealers, automakers would suffer more as a result of the tariffs. certainly they are very sensitive to the tariffs, but frankly, u.s. auto sales kicked two years ago. we have some degree of weakness in the auto sector in the u.s. european autos were doing relatively well, the luxury sector in particular. there was a little more optimism coming into this year. taking a broader step back, everyone is impacted by trade. the perception was that the european automakers might be impacted more. we went not expecting quite the damage to the margin outlook to the u.s. automakers. story, how dohird you deal with that if you are mario draghi, you have an hour rest conference today, --press
7:11 am
conference today, and is there anything we can learn that can shape the range? is summer in september or august? that is the first rate hike. this is cracking me up your the markets are pricing in december of 2019, so the markets are not even looking at this. whether it happens in june or september -- not august -- is probably the reality of the situation. i do not think we will get any timing for mr. draghi today, again, where some of the doldrums are, i do not expect them to shake things up too much. missourist likely said policy will continue to be accommodative, because the eurozone is doing better. broadcastseting the that they said in june. i cannot see him putting himself out on a limb only to have to comeback -- pull it back
7:12 am
september. david: what are the factors that could change, at least the talks about what they are doing? some softening of pmi's, doing the trade. gina: i do not think a lot is going to change, because they did their he strongly guide us just very recently to expect some sort of action in the second half of next year, even though the market is not a acting a rate increase until december, maybe it is going to be the second half of the year. if anything, they may acknowledge that there has been some recent weakness in european economic growth, that there may be further weakness, considering all of the trade movement. frankly, it is really unlikely we get a lot more out of today. alix: all right, bloomberg's vincent cignarella and gina martin adams, thank you so much. we will bring you that meeting as soon as it happens, 7:45
7:13 am
a.m., followed by mario draghi's news conference, 8:30 a.m. eastern. you can go to the tv , see a worldwide, click on it, and check it out. coming up, more on facebook's second quarter face plant. we will discuss that next and what to do if analysts start to weigh in on upgrades, downgrades, and price targets. this is bloomberg. ♪ ts. this is bloomberg. ♪
7:14 am
7:15 am
emma: this is "bloomberg daybreak." i am emma chandra. qualcomm has ended its billion-dollar takeover bid of nxp. nxp will get $2 billion in
7:16 am
competition. meanwhile, qualcomm plans to buy back $30 billion of stock. second quarter double that airbus. accelerating to the middle east with a best-selling single aisle jet. int led to a hold up customer payments. as we have already been discussing, shares of facebook app taken a stunning dive. the social network has lost $150 valuen in market overnight after missing estimates. facebook also warned that revenue growth would be slowing. the company has been hurt by private data, the content policy, and strange in -- and changing rules for advertisers. david: as mentioned by emma, facebook at a major setback. they discussed it in a conference but with analyst. the quarter on quarter growth
7:17 am
rates are going to be high single digits lower than the prior year quarter on quarter growth rate. is that what you are actually saying? if so, what is driving this fairly dramatic deceleration of revenue growth? yes, we expected to be in high single digits for the next couple of quarters. driving thewhat is deceleration, it is a combination of factors, though there is the currency a tailwind acceleration. we are focusing on engaging new experiences, like stories, and promoting those. that is going to have a negative impact on revenue growth. people, we are giving privacy, andaround
7:18 am
that will be focused around things like gdp are as well as other things we are providing that could have an impact on revenue growth david: we welcome now nandini ramakrishnan, the jpmorgan global asset management strategist, and also paul sweeney, director of north america research. they are still growing, they are still making money? paul: it is a little bit of both. call, the global earnings slow and revenue growth, and that is generally in mind of looking, ifreet was you look at consensus numbers. consensus numbers on revenue generally reflecting slowing growth. the issue that took people by surprise was the amount of cost increase in the duration of the higher costs, because that is leading guidance for operating generallyprofit margins from tt of the mid to high 30's.
7:19 am
that is a major reset. david: i am so glad you mentioned that because the thing that jumped out at me is the headcount. over 37,000ing people in the course of a year. i cannot imagine that. yes, it is amazing, and they are ope opening offices around the world. this is a part due to what is the issues. they have mandated, they told congress we will do a better job with privacy and data security. a letter that will be done with technology sources, but a lot of that will become with human duration through the site. they are hiring people for that. that goes right to the bottom line. leslie and snarky and company's financial results lend to join more pessimistic future, more utter disasters were investors. if what the company projects comes to pass, the profit margin is dead. all at once, it caught up to facebook.
7:20 am
is it dead, or is it we need to get through this hump, and then it will pick back up? paul: this is not a short-term blip. the profit forecast, we are seeing that in the stock rise, we saw that immediately in the opening here, that is a major reset. it is still in play, still a good story for long-term investors is the top line story. we saw digital advertising, high teens, kind of growth rates of digital ad spending over the next couple of years. david: the other thing i wonder in.s the market pricing it is not just facebook proper. they also have messenger, whatsapp in the wings. reallyight, and that buoys the longer-term growth rates. we do not have any visibility on that. investors are really reluctant
7:21 am
to pay for the upside of some of those businesses, so it is incumbent upon the company that they can highlight the growth opportunities to really break out that data and share with investors. alix: nandini, the fallout at facebook, tumbling in the premarket, is this a broader tech weakness signal, or are we looking at idiosyncratic factors mash-up with other factors? nandini: i say perhaps the second of your options, but it is a good reminder, today's results in the market action, that you do not want to be pending your hopes on the global appetite for the tech story just as you had for stocks based in silicon valley. wellve been saying for a that the global upswing of technology has perhaps been better at attractive valuation to approach technology. thinking about your emerging-market companies producing the semiconductors, the european conductors designing ai technology and robotics and driverless cars,
7:22 am
so be a negative more global in that sense rather than just a handful of companies with evaluation seem so high. alix: also the overcrowding. hedge funds are about 6.75% for facebook, and there is some speculation of perhaps accelerating. what other areas in the market have the same kind of characteristics that are at risk? nandini: anywhere that has low liquidity potential or anywhere that will be difficult for investors to tactically move out of things start to change, some of the areas in particular are maybe some of the sectors in high-yield across the world, other parts of emerging markets, face volume, the u.s. certainly with higher valuations and opportunity if you are looking for more near-term or medium-term appreciation in the stock. i think it will be a sector by sector, case-by-case basis. herability to change position is certainly something we are talking more about in
7:23 am
this environment. david: i have to ask the question in a slightly different way. with facebook and other tech company sort of the trees growing to the sky. the overall market pie is just getting bigger and bigger. are we seeing some saturation in that it will not keep = growing at the same incredible pace, and then you have t old-fashioned pace in market share? aul: in some markets, we very well may be, and the more mature markets. in terms of internet advertising, we continue to see the shift from traditional media into digital media. we have seen that across the board, and that is a reflection of where consumers are spending more and more of their time. advertisers are smart animals. they follow the advertising where ever it goes. you of course have the law of large numbers. you think about out of that, even though they had 25% revenue growth yesterday, and facebook has huge topline growth here. i think it is about resetting
7:24 am
expectations for these companies, and particularly for facebook, it is really on the cost side. the cost is much higher than investors had been anticipating, and it seems like they will be higher for longer. you have to adjust your models, and that will se -- and that we will see today. alix: really exciting earnings season. pulse we of bloomberg intelligence and nandini ramakrishnan of jp asset -- jpmorgan asset management. 90% have beat expectations. hey, we normally say earnings are good for the market. tech,eally watching because this is not a earnings story per se, but it is how the semiconductor space pares out as we go. qualcomm and nxp deal totally overpeer will we see paul jacobs, the former ceo of qualcomm, come in and want to take the company private?
7:25 am
it has also been pursued by broadcom as well. this is a big loss, i think, losing nxp. they have to they a substantial breakup fee, the $2 billion. thing to do with all the cash that they have. david: it was go big or go home. it was a really big deal. if it worked, it would have transformed that part of the tech industry. now that it did not, what is left? clearly they need to go somewhere. alix: a $30 million share buyback is where they go at the end of the day. david: comcast beat under earnings per share. in a narrow miss under revenue. underscorequestions the dangers for a traditional media company, and over the top that is replacing the traditional cable subscribers. comcast having knocked out between for first century fox as that, now where do they go? what do they do? it does not really give them the level of content that bob iger has been after, and apparently
7:26 am
has gotten a vote, by the way, today for the disney acquisition. alix: we are looking forward to that. i want to look at d.r. horton. we have got a slew of mushy housing data in terms of the q2 read tomorrow. it feels like housing investments will be a weak place. david: they have an increased cost of labor, increase cost of materials. it is interesting. maybe a little bit surprising. as you said, there has been some softening. it is important to the economy. alix: good point. coming up, they are down, then they are up. we take a look at trade impact on automakers next. this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪
7:27 am
7:28 am
7:29 am
alix: this is "bloomberg daybreak." i am alix steel. welcome to one of the biggest earnings days. the story is facebook.
7:30 am
.8% yourtures, down facebook would lose over $120 billion in market cap. the deck still holding onto gains of 100%. ofappears to be some kind truth between the eu and the u.s. when it comes to trade. another asset class will be all about the ecb in just about 15 minutes' time. euro-dollar a little bit slower at $1.17. the curve continues to flatten here in the u.s. david? david: american airlines is reporting earnings per share estimates.t be the increased fuel costs, as you know, and they are having difficulty getting their rates. appears that they have beaten expectations with earnings-per-share of $1.63. them have been
7:31 am
victims of their own overcapacity, and then they refused to cut. david: let's go to auto us now. it has been a wild ride. the european automakers bounced trump talkednald about european auto imports. i got to speak with ford executive bob shank. already imposed on steel and aluminum were certainly not helping anyone. a solidth america had quarter. it generated a martyr at 7.4%, but within that, we had a etc. million dollars shift related to lost productions of high , relating tohicles a fire that occurred in the quarter that our team was able amazingly recover from in
7:32 am
eight days. we also had a class-action settlement related to takata airbags. if you adjust for those things, we actually ran a margin that so these to 2%, underlying business of north america was strong, and that was inclusive of him substantial hea headwinds around commodities. david: let's talk about some of the challenges you have. china had a tough quarter, and for reasons to go beyond commodities. actually, the issue that we have in china as well as europe, those were the two factors behind the guidance change that we provided today, are really more about our business. if you look at china, we were down about half $1 billion, and that was on a consolidated operations as well joint ventures, which are unconsolidated, and largely factors.number of
7:33 am
an aging portfolio, under and ask in terms of the portfolio vis-à-vis the market, which is really hot, with a lot of strong demand from consumers for a crossover to utilities. we also have them go to market strategies and the order, some capability issues, which have resulted in issues with dealers in terms of the profitability and stocks that we have to address as well. these are issues that we have to address. we already have a plan to do so. already are making progress, but clearly that was a very disappointing result in the quarter coming from china, because it is a very important market. david: those are things largely within your control. you say you have a plan. what timetable do you have? when do you expect to see a turnaround? you are expecting a significant loss actually for the year there. bob: yes, we are, and what we are asked acting in the second half is we will get new products, new exports, a new focus. there will be a whole slew of new products that start to
7:34 am
address the age portfolio issue, and that includes a number of suv's. the team is working very hard to address the issues in terms of production adjustments and also addressing the dealer profitability issue. i it will take some time, but can tell you we are doing it with a sense of urgency, moving very quickly. david: commodities, some of the input cost issues that you face, how large are those problems? can you quantify that? and how much of it is some of the tariffs that have been put on and the trade uncertainty as opposed to underlying? bob: yeah, that actually is a big headwinds for the business. at the beginning of the air, we indicated that we thought we would see commodities increasing for the full year of about $1 billion. that now looks like $1.6 billion. that difference is largely due, if not entirely due, to what was the threat of tariffs originally and then real tariffs on steel and aluminum, because we can
7:35 am
happened once thated threat was there and then the implementation of the tariffs, price of steel, the price of aluminum has released that well above the price is that we see outside of the united states. that is a big hit, primarily on our american businesses. david: price of steel, the price that was part of my interview with ford cfo bob shanks. still with us is nandini ramakrishnan of jpmorgan asset management. how do you take these? they are very different aspects. we have the commodities, steel and aluminum, as well as with european autos. as you assess a company, how do you factor this in? nandini: yeah, this is a big challenge without the tariffs are implemented across jeffries and across borders, yes, actually the the escalation -- across territories and across borders, yes, the de-escalation, if trade tensions were waiting
7:36 am
on european growth, companies saying they were quite nervous about what could come, potential escalation between the u.s. and the eu. it does seem broadly positive. you can see the european automakers doing well today and positivity around that, but there are still so many nuances about where products are coming on, where they are manufactured versus the brand under which they are manufactured. that will be a case-by-case basis on some of the companies and where they can benefit from input versus their output or export. all in all, i think it is good for europe in a broad sense, but i do not think it means we are completely in the clear in terms of trade tensions down the line. alix: thank you so much, nandini ramakrishnan of jpmorgan asset management, you will be sticking with us. united national foods is buying supervalu for $32.50 per share in cash. supervalu stocks surging about
7:37 am
60% in premarket. interesting as we continue to see him in a in his face that has to wind up competing -- seeing him in a in a space that has to compete with the likes a space that has to compete with the likes of amazon. david: vertical integration. alix: in some ways, it makes sense because you have amazon whole foods market you some distribution for yourself if you are a natural produce company. david: exactly. as you sent them a integration going forward in the grocery business. alix: yep. also taking a look some distribr yourself if you are a natural produce at american airlines. yes, they did bea on earnings, on.vert -- held let me get my thing up your. third-quarter capacity growth rate, and they are cutting their forecast for their full-year adjustment earnings.
7:38 am
we have been talking about the overcapacity issue. they are finally setting their forecast for that capacity growth rate, also causing them to reduce their earnings as well. david: you called it. that is exactly the question. you have to get the traffic down, you need to rise prices, the fuel costs, as you pointed out, and also unemployment cost issue. alix: you cannot win either way at the end of the day. coming up, you have threats of a global trade war and the ecb's plans for tighter monetary policy. how to trade risks weigh on the ecb's plan, and what is the definition of "summer" in europe? this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪

7:41 am
emma: this is "bloomberg daybreak." i am emma chandra here in the hewlett-packard enterprise greenroom. coming up in the next half hour, the chief executive officer. of -- this is bloomberg. ♪ are just moments away from the ecb's announcement. no and aroma screen shot is with us. they have given -- nandini ramakrishnan is with us. they have given us some guidance. there is potential for
7:42 am
forecb to a knowledge the ecb to a knowledge maybe a slightly better picture, a more optimistic view of the second half of the year, perhaps the u.s. booming in terms of the current growth picture, maybe has a spillover effect into europe, acknowledging yesterday's big decision, meaning the eu and the u.s. on trade. it could be a little bit more positive than expected, but overall, you are right. there is not too much of a market moving development that we would expect from the meeting today, other than perhaps continuing to and the size the plan, which is reducing qe toward the end of the year, and the interest rate may be in the second half of the year for the latter part of 2019. alix: i am glad you brought that up, because i have been joking all morning along about what the definition of "summer is," leading to interpretations as to what "end of summer" meant. some are thinking end of september, summer thinking august. is that an important conversation?
7:43 am
nandini: it is, as always, a bit of fun to really nitpick the central bank's statement spirit we love doing that in the economic community. it will happen at the end of 2019. as wel get something evolve in the next 12 months, and that could solidify what happens, but for now, interest rate hikes are a story for the second half of next year. it has very much to do with the fact that as we evolve there is not a strong growth that you had expected one year ago with some of the survey numbers in europe. it is a little bit more moderated, and the ecb will turn into that as we progress into the second half of this year. david: take us to the meeting a little bit and what is likely to be discussed. do they focus on emi, on italy, because they cannot quite get a budget together? what are they principally going to be looking at? nandini: it is certainly a risk that we have been monitoring, and of course the ecb has been looking at very closely, but a lot of the rhetoric from the
7:44 am
italian political sphere has been reduced to terms of italy leaving the euro or large issues around that front. i think there is a workable solution that will come through the italian government spending. the broader issue that was really plaguing european companies and consumers with the trade exhalation and the data -- escalation, the data, the pmi, really lagging behind given detention and the fact that we just got this really lagging behind given detention and the fact that we just got this recent use may mean the ecb is more optimistic. i think they will be brought european story rather than just italy, and we will see in a few minutes what they have to say. alix: all right, stay with us as we do a quick market check. as if he nasdaq futures weaker. that will be the story of facebook, but the dax holding on to their gains, thank you for a much to german automakers and the cease-fire between the u.s. and the eu. something we will be watching over the next 30 seconds, euro-dollar coming into the board a little bit weaker, $1.17.
7:45 am
the yield on the 10-year bund is up tw basis points. set.asis points is how we it will also be a story every investments. did they end up taking the money that they make off of that and by longer-term bonds? that will be a lot of questions happening throughout the press conference on the. -ten spread continues to flatten. unchanged at -40 basis rates. all his other rates remaining unchanged. they will reinvest maturing debt for an extended period of time. re-investments will last as long as necessary. again, some conversations coming in, keeping rates unchanged through the summer of 2019. it feels like the reinvestment our conversation, david is getting a little more clarity on that,. david: the question is -- what are they investing in? how long is the duration, right?
7:46 am
they said they will be reinvesting, but i do not see where they will be reinvesting. itx: right, but either way, seems like they will be looking at what that means further bonds, for the balance sheet. joining us now from london is executive editor for economics, simon kennedy cured walk us through what you are seeing and the surprises in the statement spirit simon: the interesting -- in the statement. thing ise interesting the investment, obviously talk about the operation twists that the fed did and try to bring down the long-term rates. this takedown down that idea. they see this as a technical move. some of the big questions for mario draghi later in this rest conference -- will they use the reinvestment as another attempt to boost the economy, to use it as stimulus, or do they see it as a sort of technical nature to reinvest what is running off? alix: what will be the topic of
7:47 am
conversation at the press conference? is there anything mario draghi can say on the dovish or the hawkish side that will really have an impact? simon: i think he will be able to clarify a few things. one of the interesting things is the recent decision, he talked about not raising rates until after the summer of next year. most of the eurozone has many languages, and then in the translation of that statement in german, and french, in a couple of others, there were different words used. no one is quite sure what he means until after the summer. there was an effort that clarifies that, does he mean that year from now, or you have to get into september of next year? there will be pressure to clarify that. be on about the reinvestments, what his strategy is there. the bloomberg opinion writer they have to be somewhat cleaner on communications and that the same time really he will be able to maintain that message to market that he has been able to do
7:48 am
increase press conferences, the kind of goldilocks, a little bit of a withdrawal of stimulus, but not too quickly. much, simonyou so kennedy, bloomberg executive editor for economics. to recap, the ecb rates remain unchanged. they plan to halt the asset plans through the end of december, and rates will remain unchanged through the summer of 2019. . the big thing with the reinvestments, they are looking to facilitate reinvestments as long as is needed. investing where, we do not know, but the twist is what we were assuming what happened. david: let's ask nandini ramakrishnan about that. this is how confident mario draghi is that job?s done his it is six years ago today -- did he do what it takes, and if he did, does that mean he does not have to worry about an operation flip? nandini: that is a great point -- how they achieved the goals they have set out to do? if you look at the continuous
7:49 am
forecast they make in terms of gdp and growth, and actually consider that the stimulus have been working. europe has been growing very nicely over the last six years in particular versus its history. stomachsense, gdp why yes, inflation has not been hitting the 2% gdp target. core inflation is stubbornly around 1% in many economies in the eurozone. you could argue it has not hit the mark in that sense. but ecb has done a great job separating the reduction of qe, and now qe is going to come to an end, growth has been quite good and well supported, but inflation is the low target. disentangling those two elements and monetary policy, which also two macroacro -- indicators will be something he will explain in the press conference. to your point, it is something we will have to watch, and it could be important in europe as in his push towards those

directions, rather than broad government reinvestment. they will have to explain it either in this meeting or maybe the next few meetings over the course of the year. alix: find yields, do you see a steeper curve in europe, or is flatter the way to go? nandini: we do not have a huge expectation of a large steepening or even an increase in the long end of european rates. it is pretty much as it has been over the past few months. what does that mean for the euro differential? well, the fed is expected to raise interest rates to more times this year and we expect to more in the first half of next year, see you have an ever widening distance between treasuries and bunds or government bonds, and that will be interesting for those who are perhaps seeking value and u.s. treasury as opposed to the german or the eurozone market, which continues to be low yields, flat valuations on a

part of the conversation is about the average rate of maturity. what are you going to do with that money rolling off? >> we think they are going to push further out the curve without money. the issue is how far in advance are they willing to let the market know what they are going to do. you can see steepening in the german curve this morning. priced ine market this extension to a large extent. we need to see some clarity on what they plan on delivering that may not happen at this press conference. we have retracement in the curve today but we think it is brief. cand: how much guidance they give? they have been explicit. unless they change they are mind -- their mind. >> this is the thing. it is not just the ecb. the fed has been trying to get ahead of things quickly. the great example is the press

8:26 am
but nevertheless what they have tried is not achieved their inflation goal. they got creative in 2016. they got creative in the same year, implementing their yield curve control policy. now they're trying to figure out is the benefit of yield curve control enough for the banking sector? that is the question they are grappling with. according to some news reports over the weekend, continuing into this week we now think or suspect they could have more leeway to allow that yield to creep higher. the issue is we don't quite know what to believe. the governor denied these stories. he denied they would take rates into negative territory in 2016 only to find out they take rates into negative territory.
8:27 am
investors don't know what to believe yet. david: he likes to surprise. what has changed? that pressure has been there all along. that is nothing new. >> that is right. when you look at their outlook report they were clear, there were gradual risks that could build up, but these were risks not worth and attention to at this point. three months later they are going to allow yields to rising get rid of the yield curve control policy. it doesn't make sense to me. here we are. alix: we had a steepener globally. how can we have a steeper curve in japan and not a stronger yen? it seems counterintuitive. >> i think that is true. they want profitability in the bank during sector -- banking sector. if they need to tolerate a
8:28 am
stronger yen they will be willing to do that. there's a lot of things working in favor of the yen. not only the boj but emerging markets and trade tensions. the yen is a proxy for risk on risk off. when the markets are wobbly the yen rallies. just on these yield curve comments from the bank of japan and tensions in the market broadly they are willing to tolerate that if they can get what they want out of the banking sector. alix: does that mean the dollar has peaked? mean the dollar starts to leak lower. there is fundamental support for the dollar given what is happening with the fed, remaining on target with the fed on the path they are on. dollars support for the these of the emerging markets. as liquidity keeps being drawn out of the markets.

8:47 am
implemented tariffs. limited.t effects are clearly, a trade war where you have rounds of retaliation and responses will create a different climate. we will have to assess both the direct effects which me -- which may be significant as the numbers go up. and indirect effects of confidence on business investment. -- we have not done .nything from the last time on the reinvestment, we have not discussed. to make it clear, the capital key from means our anchor -- remains our anchor.
8:48 am
that is it. thank you. >> cnbc. two questions. optimismur economic for the eurozone. looking at the confidence indicators there is a clear sign the looming trade uncertainties have an impact. looking at the current earnings seasons, what makes you optimistic? second question would be on whether they are given the inflation rate being back up to target whether there is an increasing discussion in the governing council among members of course that is perhaps time
8:49 am
monetaryse the stimulus in place. >> let me -- the best way to answer both questions is to give you a short account of our discussion today. first of all the governing council took note there hasn't in much of a change since last time. has not been a change in the assessment of outlook of the median term outlook and growth of inflation. it is now clear that it was before that the moderation and onwth depends essentially the pull back from unusually wereg growth rates, which ansed by predominately
8:50 am
unusually strong asked for performance. pullback. the performance is much less. sluggishness in the first quarter is continuing in the second quarter. levelsstabilized at above historic leverages. overall the risk to growth had been assessed as broadly balanced. financing conditions remain stable, and labor market continues to improve, supporting private consumption.
8:51 am
the monetary policy and the resulting financing conditions .o support private investment , the headline inflation is 2% from 1.9. the answer is you look at inflation excluding oil and food 1.1. from 1.1. the underlying inflation remains muted. it is too early to court victory. one development is nominal wage see it pickwhere we
8:52 am
up and nominal wage growth across the eurozone. this pick up was thrift.roduced by wage , the is a component negotiated wage component which is now the main driver of the growth in nominal wages. the conclusion was the assessment of confidence we warranted.s an ample degree remains necessary.
8:53 am
>> to touch on the point you made on wages being stronger i would like your view on how you think this would impact domestic demand. is it going to have an impact on domestic demand strong enough to offset the negative effects that we have seen of weaker trade figures, or du expect to see slowdown in growth in the second half of this year? there is too much ambiguity about the phrase through the summer and the changes to the translations at the monetary policy. would you care to clarify what is meant through the summer until the end of the summer when rates are expected to remain on hold?
8:54 am
>> i will address the second question first. clear, the english version. our counsel in english and agree on one in english text. so that is what we have to look at. the term structure money market rates reflects two things. fewer expectations of the future path of the policy rate, the uncertainty that surrounds the evolution of the economy. as far as i think i said last they are very well aligned
8:55 am
. policy rates will remain at their current levels through the summer of next year. viewss of market confirmed this very tight alignment. you have the uncertainty in the term structure. this attempts to be more variable. what we see is this component may have increase since our june announcement due to various factors including the state of the debate on trade. an impact coming from higher nominal wage growth could compensate trade. we haven't done this analysis yet.
8:56 am
the second part of this year ,ontinues on solid growth growth based across sectors and across countries. >> how do you wait to risk the the nationaled to bank? general point.a it doesn't generate stability. it is the way monetary union settles its payments.
8:57 am
it is devised to make sure the money flows unencumbered, companies, all economic agents. -- that is theer first thing we keep in mind. is how do weing interpret recent numbers that show a number of target liabilities? asked severaltion times in the past. depends on movement our own asset purchase programs and depends on how and when, and where the balances of the have settled.
8:58 am
and they settle their account with one or two core countries where the financial centers reside. the settlement of the balances do depend on capital flows from one country or another. 80% of thed institutions that sell bonds to the national central banks do not reside in the country where the purchaser resides. you have a lot of payments and anythingt do not say specific about the overall situation.
8:59 am
going back to the recent liabilities, they are not unprecedented. with respect to the massive movements produced by our own , the people who want to collateralize, limit, the truth is they don't like the euro. the only way a monetary union can work is they have an efficient payment system. is too early to understand.
