i'm emma chandra. this is "bloomberg best," your weekly review of the most important business news, analysis, and interviews from bloomberg television around the world. let's start with a day-by-day look at the headlines. the week began with a flurry of verbal sparring between united states and iran. alix: president trump and iranian president rouhani traded threats over the weekend as mike pompeo compared them to the mafia and accusing them of corruption and abuse. >> to the regime, the population are casualties in the march to fulfill the revolution. kevin: president trump tweeting out a blistering critique. "never threaten the united

states again, or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before." >> i think what you are seeing is a coordinated campaign by the administration. in the week since president trump backed out of the 2015 nuclear agreement with iran, it is trying to bolster support among european allies around the globe to strangle iran's economy. they are re-imposing a set of sanctions next month and in november. that sanctions regime will not work unless other countries go along and essentially agree to participate. >> alphabet jumping as much as 6.1% in late trading after reporting a strong second quarter. google is still raking in marketing cash from advertisers. that is helping the company move past the regulatory troubles in europe. what is your biggest takeaway from this set of numbers? emily: big surprise from google. revenue growing 26% year-over-year, despite the $5 billion fine coming from the

european commission, which google is appealing despite regulatory concerns in europe, this business is growing leaps and bounds. i had a phone call with the cfo of alphabet, and she strongly attributed this growth to mobile. she said, we are talking about the ongoing strength in mobile when we focus with innovation on mobile. we can enhance growth across platforms support those opportunities. >> china appears to be entering an easier phase of greater fiscal spending and softer regulatory measures to loosen monetary conditions. this sounds like a policy shift. >> it appears to be edging that way, but officially, we haven't had any announcement around monetary policy changes. the pboc's official line is monetary policy is prudent and neutral. we did get a statement saying they wanted to see more proactive fiscal policy measures. they want to see changes to tax regimes, regulatory regimes, to

help underpin domestic demand. it was interesting deleveraging wasn't mentioned in this statement. they did say they did want to see a deluge of stimulus measures. jonathan: president donald trump meeting with european commission president jean-claude juncker with tough words for the eu ahead of today's talks. the president tweeting the eu is coming to negotiate a deal on trade. i have an idea. both sides drop all tariffs and barriers and subsidies. that would finally be called free market and fair trade. >> i had the intention to make a deal today, and we made a deal. >> the big news is trump has pulled back his threat of tariffs on autos, and the europeans have agreed to buy more u.s. soybeans and natural gas. we still have got the tarriff tit-for-tat with china going on

that has not been resolved, but this is definitely good news all around for the auto industry and possibly for some others going ahead. emily: facebook shares tanked in after-hours trading after a lackluster second-quarter report. it is the first sign facebook is seeing user disenchantment in the midst of public scandals over privacy and content. in a very rare occurrence, the tech giant missed estimates on revenue for the first time since 2015. >> revenue is up 42% year-over-year. this company is not hurting, but they did disappoint vis-a-vis expectations, and that in itself is historic. vonnie: facebook is down around 19%, wiping $120 billion from its market capitalization. the stock remains around this level it would be the biggest one-day loss in market cap in u.s. history. >> i think what was surprising was the incremental cost they were talking about. the cost in dealing with that it integrity issues last quarter,

this time they put a number on it. this time they put a number on it, and they are talking about expenses at a much higher level for a longer period of time than investors were looking for. still a very profitable company, still a tremendous amount of growth, but clearly a reset for a company's valuation that was at an all all-time high and not discounting this kind of profit outlook at all. jonathan: ecb kept rates unchanged. what does it say about the state of affairs that president draghi has the market debating over how to define summer, and not this summer, but next summer of 2019? >> draghi and policymakers globally have managed to deliver what they wanted, a predictable and stable monetary policy outcome. they wanted to remove all sorts of uncertainty around exit strategies. they know they have fired all the bullets, the entire arsenal they have, and all it takes is

miscommunication around the forward-looking component to unwind all that dramatic effort. >> amazon investors have shrugged off second-quarter sales that missed estimates, focusing instead on soaring profit that came in at more than double analyst projections. is it the profitability investors are looking out for? >> historically, everyone has invested in amazon because of the top line. revenue has soared over the past 15 years but with little expectation in the near term. bear in mind, revenue still grew, it just fell slightly short of expectations. amazon was able to demonstrate that they can flick a switch and ramp up that profitability. david: twitter has taken a hit. shares are plunging in premarket trading as the company missed estimates for monthly active users in the second quarter. what is the big story there? they missed on monthly average users. they did well on daily averages, killed in the

pre-market so far. >> the real concern for twitter is size and scale. the numbers came in ok, but again i think investors for this particular name are always concerned in the back of their mind about scale, and is there a place in the digital advertising space for a platform with 335 million monthly users against the facebook's of the world? the proposal for acquisition between fox and disney has been approved by fox shareholders. that means a combination of the two is all but guaranteed, but not a done deal yet. >> no. i mean, look, with comcast pulling out, everyone thought this is what would happen and shareholders would approve this. the question now, all investor focus is now going to shift across the ocean, and everyone is going to be looking at sky in europe and trying to figure out is disney and fox done and they will sacrifice this and let it

go effectively, in a frozen sort of way, to comcast, or are they going to re-up to outbid comcast to try to take sky? we think they will try to still win sky, but we will see what happens over the coming weeks. jonathan: u.s. delivering the strongest growth since 2014. economists suggesting this is as good as it gets. president trump: as the trade deals come in one by one, we are going to go a lot higher than these great numbers, and these are great numbers. >> this was a great number. no question, it was propped up by consumer spending, and it involved a really solid revision to first-quarter gdp. what we saw was a strong nonresidential business investment in this number. i think a lot of that has to do with tax reform and really low rates. as you see fed rates raise and some of those one-off effects fade, you will not see quite these numbers. emma: still ahead as we review the week on "bloomberg best," a n exclusive conversation with the new deutsche bank ceo

christian sewing, who says they will meet short-term targets no matter what happens with interest rates. plus, goldman sachs sees the global economy reaching an inflection point. up next, earnings, earnings, and more earnings. commodity prices and currency moves hit g.m. hard, dampening its forecast. >> we are seeing $1 billion of unmitigated headwinds for the year. emma: this is bloomberg. ♪

emma: this is "bloomberg best." i'm emma chandra. a host of companies across the world releasing earnings reports this week. let's begin our roundup with some of the major european banks. francine: the more volatile

markets were a boon for ubs's investment bank, helping beat expectations, but that contrasted with the wealth management unit, which posted net yield money outflows and missed profit estimates. >> this quarter had some seasonality effect. the tax outflows in the u.s. were expected. we had one-off outflows from corporate transferred stock option plan, which is an interesting business, but low margin. we had almost no effect on leverage, on lending, so clients are very cautious. we also had a very good signal of a good momentum for financial manager was a threefold compared to last year. outside the u.s., we had almost $6 billion net new money. overall, i am still positive about our developments, and we don't look at net new money on a quarter-to-quarter basis. i am confident the rest of the year will be ok.

>> julius baer group switzerland's third largest wealth manager has boosted net new money in the first half, in line with the company's target. >> where are you finding these bankers? which is the geography giving you the best yield? >> it is asia, the middle east, and it is europe. the main reason they are attracted by our platform is the business model. it is a model that the private bankers like because they don't have to push our own product only. >> banco santander second-quarter net income beat the highest of analyst estimates. santander says the spanish bank is confident they will achieve its 2018 goals. >> this is the first of many quarters we saw positive loan growth in all our developed economies. obviously, we continue to see

strong growth despite the elections in mexico, the uncertainty around mexico and the elections in brazil we will have in october. we also saw healthy growth in latin america. this is obviously on the back of positive growth in the number of loyal and digital customers, which grew in places close to 20%, but we have seen particularly in europe a better quarter, probably the best quarter we have seen in a few years. >> petrol maker group psa says its first-half profit surged on higher car sales and cost cuts. the automaker boosted its profit margin against higher raw materials and currency swing. >> for the time being, we want to be recognizing that yes, we are performing well in europe and europe is a place where we understand our customers and can make great products with great technology and create value. that is the reason we are such a big player in this market.

that does not change our strategic plan where we want to become a global carmaker with cutting edge efficiency. that means we will continue to develop ourselves in china, latin america, eurasia, africa, middle east, and india. this is exactly what we are doing now, but for the time being, yes, it is great to be a european carmaker and create value in europe. david: general motors announced second-quarter earnings, beating estimates for earnings per share and showing record returns from china and its financing business, but also it took its guidance for the year down. >> big picture, we're seeing $1 billion of unmitigated headwinds for the balance of the year. some came in q2, and we expect it to continue for the rest of the year. roughly half of that are commodity increases escalating anticipated, and

roughly half of it is currency, primarily south america, hence our view it was prudent to recalibrate expectations for overall earnings this year. emily: ford reported results earlier this hour, adjusted earnings per share $.27, trailing estimates. in addition, ford cut its 2018 earning outlook and season $11 billion restructuring charge over the next three to five years. >> the issue we have in china, as well as europe, those were the two factors behind the guidance change we provided today. they are really more about our business. if you look at china, we were down about $500 million in consolidated operations and our joint ventures, which are unconsolidated, and largely around other factors. an aging portfolio, we are under index in terms of the folio vis-a-vis the market. we also had some go to market strategies and capabilities issues and market sale issues

with dealer profitability and stocks that we are going to have to address as well. these are issues we have to address and have a plan to do so. we are making progress, but clearly, that was a very disappointing result in china because that is a very important market. david: eli lilly reported strong second-quarter results, beating estimates on earnings per share and on revenue and increasing guidance for the year overall. that wasn't the only announcement today. you talked about your animal health business. you will spin it off in an ipo. there was talk you could sell at for as much as $13 billion to private equity. why did you decide to have an ipo? >> last october, we announced a strategic review with management and the board of this business unit. it had grown to be pretty substantial in scope and scale. we looked at holding it and selling it, and at the ipo path and chose that because it maximizes the value for

our shareholders after-tax. it also will give alanco a focus to focus its resources on its mission, to work with veterinarians to improve animal health and allow lily, the parent company, to focus on its critical mission, which is to keep producing life-changing medicines for patients. >> shell finally gave investors the share buyback they have been waiting for even as profit fell short of expectations, and that is despite resurgent crude prices. the energy producer says it is starting a $25 billion share repurchase program, but net profit was $1 billion short of the street's expectations. >> $4.7 billion of clean earnings is a solid result. if you decompose it a little bit and look at integrated gas, up compared to the same quarter last year. up four compared to the same quarter last year.

business more than 30% down, linked to a difficult refining environment, a difficult trading environment as well. there are a few exchange rate effects that have a non-cash impact, therefore our earnings as a result of that are not as straightforward to predict as we would like, as well. >> intel tumbled in late trade despite beating estimates in the second quarter and raising its full-year outlook. what is the problem? seems like there is still uncertainty about the rest of the year. >> what that stock price move after hours is telling you is not really a reflection on the performance in the quarter or this quarter. it is more a case of them not putting to rest some of the concerns that exist for the longer to medium-term future. >> the numbers were extremely strong in the quarter and for

the first half of the year. we raised our outlook for the full year by $2 billion on the top line and $.30 on the bottom line. we are building very strong momentum in the first half and in our 50th year since intel has been around, 2018 will be our third record year in a row from a financial performance perspective. we feel good about the momentum we are generating and prospects for the future. ♪

emma: welcome back to "bloomberg best." i'm emma chandra. deutsche bank reported earnings this week, and the firm had its weakest quarterly results in fixed income trading since the financial crisis. debt income dropped 17%.

this as the largest u.s. investment banks saw revenue rise almost 7% in the same period. in an interview with matt miller, ceo christian sewing sounded a note of optimism. christian: the core business within the corporate investment bank, we had a good quarter 2017, in particular credit rating. secondly, yes, we went through a transformation in the second quarter, so you see one or the other adjustments we have done , and therefore, we did it in one quarter. now we build up the capital, bring it back to the business and with the client franchises we have, i am very confident we will see growing revenue in the business going forward. matt: you say in the press release you remain confident about maintaining your position as the fourth largest house globally in fixed trading by revenues. what gives you that confidence?

christian: the client feedback we get. since i have been in this position, i have seen more than 150 clients globally. honestly, they want an alternative to the u.s. banks. they see us as the european bank offering the full range of corporate investment banking services. this gives me the confidence. secondly, the expertise and products we have, and also if you look into the underlying business into the developments we have seen over the last month, the last capital position we have, i am confident we can grow. matt: let's talk about the rate environment. we seem to have a clear path now from mario draghi and the ecb. how confident are you we can see rates increase, and how important is this to your business? christian: this management focus now on the next 18 months. we have set ourselves clear goals for the next 18 months, for 2018 and 2019. we are saying we want to have a

return on equity of 4% at the end of 2019, and that does not depend on a rate increase. hence we have to plan what we can actually influence. that is cost, that is capital, and that is what we are doing. of course, it would be nice to have a rate increase, however that is not in my hands, and hence this is not an underlying driver of the next 18 months. to be honest, it is always hard to predict rate increases, and therefore this is not part of the plan of the next 18 months. emma: coming up on "bloomberg best," more of the week's top business headlines, including a national vote in pakistan. and the business world bids farewell to a legend. fiat chrysler ceo sergio marcchione passes away age 66. >> he referred to himself several times as the fixer and had several jobs to do at fiat. emma: up next, a range of expert opinion on the stage of global markets. investors being advised to brace for headwinds.

>> at the end of the day, 16% correction is in the cards and can happen at any time. emma: this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ two, down and back up.

emma: you are watching "bloomberg best." i'm emma chandra. even with the u.s. and the eu -- this week, tensions still cloudy outlook for many companies and business sectors. guess on bloomberg discussed the big picture of fiscal and monetary policy and its impact on global growth. starting with abby joseph cohen. >> overall, we are approaching a point of inflection. the really robust growth in gdp, and the really robust gains in profits, these are happening right now.

we do expect this to decelerate and it will be increasingly clear in 2019. i'm concerned about the nonfundamental factors that are so hard to quantify. whether it is the possibility of a trade war or something else untoward on the international front. these are things they could unsettle the markets. i am more concerned about fixed income than i am equities. are you expecting a correction in fixed income? how quickly could that come, and how disruptive within the for the rest of the market? >> if we look at what is has happened, there has already been a notable rise in interest rates at the intermediate and long end. the flattening of the yield curve has not been good for fixed income portfolio investors unless they having careful and cautious, trading around,

looking for opportunities in credits and so on. i think it will be increasingly difficult for fixed income investors to do well. we are looking at global bond markets where government bond yields are negative for more than half of the developed economies. that is not sustainable. in the united states, we have seen a rise in the 10-year treasury yield of 3%. can it go higher? we think 3.6% by the end of next year. we would be cautious in fixed income. it is not a large enough increase in interest rates to damage the economy substantially, but it can't hurt -- it can hurt fixed income portfolios. >> larry fink said if we go to a trade war between the u.s. and china, markets could be down by 10% to 15%. what is your call on the consequence of an explosion of these trade wars? >> you look at the performance

of the market. it is up 20% or more. at the end of the day 10% to 15% correction is in the cards and can happen anytime. i see -- >> would a trade war trigger that? >> there needs to be a war. it just needs to be a constant escalation. there is also potentially the need for the market to correct. i think it is in the cards. eventually it will be resolved, but our view is things can get worse before they get better. >> u.s. president donald trump will perhaps impose a 25% new tariff on european car imports and car parts imports. is that jeopardizing your plan and timeframe in terms of coming back to the u.s.? >> i don't think so. it will change the way we

proceed and the way we do it. of course, i think globally if we step back from the short period of time and look at it from a growth perspective, it is better we keep open trade in the world. i think it will create more wealth for humanity and create more win-win situations. stepping back, i think it is better, including for the u.s. citizens and the u.s. country to have open trade. i think that is better on the long-term. we recognize the current situation, and we will adapt our plans accordingly. >> will you go to canada instead? >> it's part of north america. >> it is possible you will put more investment into canada than the u.s. because of these tariffs? >> we look at it on the whole. both markets are important for us, and we will implement a strategy that gives the possibility to come to those two

markets. let's be pragmatic. let's see how things will unfurl, and we will see. >> the question is, in thinking about the outlook for commodities, are we at a turning point for the dollar? will the dollar get weaker from here? where is the fly in the ointment for the bullish view of commodities right now? it is a headwind created by the stronger dollar, a reflection in the weakness in demand from emerging markets. china more recently, you can add in brazil, argentina, turkey. the question i ask right now is are we on the cusp of a turning the dollar, which would be a reflection of stronger growth in china? >> are we? >> i tend to think yes. i felt comfortable saying that two weeks ago when we saw 17 consecutive days of selling in copper, i felt we had seen the bottom, but we had two or three more days. as you look at the chart commodities, they have been

bouncing around the bottom. why am i less confident today than i was two weeks ago? it is policy paralysis or policy fatigue. you take oil. can it go above $80 right now? it is difficult given the administration is likely to go to the spr. can it go below $70? unlikely before the saudis step in. the one thing we all likely agree on is china is likely to be successful in terms of policy. demand growth is likely to be good. you are likely to lose the iranian barrel. the outlook for commodities is positive at the end of the year. it is the sequence of events you go through to get to that positive outlook. there is a lot of uncertainty right now given the policy backdrop. >> have president trump's policies been a headwind or tailwind for you? >> i think, long-term, to be honest on the tax reform it hit us in 2017. that was the reason why from a

pretax profit, it turned into a net loss. over time, it will be positive for us and our tax rate. it does not impact our day-to-day business. on the trade side, that is something which is the underlying economy. i'm still of the expectation we will find agreement and the politicians will find agreement on the tariffs side that is mutually beneficial for the economy and deutsche bank. that did not impact our concerns. >> we are hearing concerns from german carmakers and other people in german industry about the possibility of tariffs. lend more money to german businesses than anybody else. what are you hearing about the possibility of tariffs? >> everybody wishes these increases do not come because i'm convinced overall it is negative for the global economy. on the other hand, i think, in

particular, the german industry, the carmakers have shown not only resilience but flexibility and the adjustment capability. they came out not only as resilient but even more profitable. i do believe, even if this happens, there is the capacity to adjust, and i think we as deutsche bank will have very good business with our carmakers. >> i don't see at this point, barring a trade war, any serious problems with the economy. >> let me ask you about luxury. is this an area that just seems to be insulated regardless of what is happening and the global economy as long as you have demand from chinese consumers? >> nothing is ever insulated forever. the point i made before, as long as the global economy is strong, things will be fine.

valuation will not be something people pay too much attention on. if the global economy starts to slow or goes into recession, all bets are off. better to focus on what is going on in the economy instead of an esoteric question on valuation. >> we had charles demoss on the show earlier and he said -- >> i think i saw him last week. >> fantastic. one of the things he was talking about that you might remember is what actually led to the subprime crisis was the savings imbalance in the world. that is still present. is that is something that causes you concern right now? >> he's probably referring to what is called the debt super cycle, which has fueled the global economy for a long time. there is a very macro call to be made that the super cycle will end. it is such a huge macro call.

who knows when it is going to happen? ♪

emma: this is "bloomberg best." i'm emma chandra. let's continue our tour of the top business stories. now to italy, where fiat chrysler went through an executive transition and suffered a painful and permanent loss. >> fiat chrysler has named a new ceo as a health crisis left sergio marchionne unable to return to work. mike manley, a 54-year-old briton, takes over. >> he was expecting to retire from fiat chrysler in april 2019, nine months from now. fiat chrysler, there were three top candidates.

marley, who was picked. the cfo will stay and work with him. investors were expecting marchionne to leave. this comes as a surprise because marchionne was meant to stay another five years. this is why the reaction is much bigger for ferrari. >> the architect of the fiat chrysler's dramatic turnaround has died. sergio marchionne was 66. he took over in 2004. he spearheaded the purchase of chrysler. he was a bit of a turnaround king. >> he refered to himself several times as the fixer and hit quite a job to do at fiat. rescuing the company, arguably the most important emblem of italian industry for decades.

he managed to start this turnaround by extracting about $2 billion from general motors that gave him some financial start his turnaround plan. from there he took the bet on chrysler, created at that time the world's number seven carmaker. and off he went. >> qualcomm say its ready to abandon its pursuit of nxp. why did they make this decision before hearing from china? was it an nxp issue? >> i spoke to the ceo, and he said there are bigger forces at work. this is the geopolitical world we live in. we don't see that changing. qualcomm just moves forward, concentrates on what it is good at and tries to grow organically in markets like automotive. wherein said it needed nxp.

>> the white house throwing a lifeline to farmers caught in the crosshairs of the trade war. they announced a $12 billion aid package to farmers. what form will it take, and when will it be deployed? >> we still need to know a lot of details. the white house announced $12 billion in assistance to farmers. it will come in three ways. one is direct purchases of commodities such as soybeans, sorghum, commodities targeted under this trade action we have seen going back with china and other countries. you have direct purchase of commodities for food assistance programs and distribution. that can be everything from almonds to legumes and other forms of fruit and vegetables. finally you have trade promotion. the president's own trade policies are creating the situation, and that has a lot of republicans in congress concerned in terms of president and about the amount of money

spent basically the bailout farmers. francine: theresa may is stamping her authority on britain's departure from the european union. he says she is taking control of negotiations with brussels. that comes after months of tensions between the former brexit secretary david davis and brexit advisor. is it as simple as we will get a softer deal with the eu? >> we will see over the summer some intensive negotiations led by mr. robbins, the civil servant in charge of all of this. all under the auspices not of a slightly rebellious mr. davis, but all held very close by mrs. may at number 10. mrs. eu has rejected may's proposal. the chief negotiator for the eu said he would never accept her customs plan. it means the british prime minister has to go to the drawing board 12 weeks before a

brexit agreement is due to be signed. what does michel barnier take issue with? >> what theresa may proposed is that brussels outsources its status collection to her tariffs and customs. there is simply no precedent of that of a country outsourcing its data collection to a third country. the eu says this is impractical. this will create bureaucracy for companies and there is no precedent and it cannot accept it. on banks, london proposes a joint board between the eu and britain on banking regulation. is the euarnier says has a regulatory autonomy, its own rulebook for banks. >> turkey's central bank keeping its policy rate unchanged, defying market expectations and sending the lira sharply lower

as president erdogan tightens his grip on the economy. it seems the investors are losing faith in the central bank's independence. they were expecting a rate hike by at least 100 basis points and the bank failed to deliver anything at all. inflation is running more than triple the central bank's target rate. even though since april the situation has raised by 500 basis points, investors say more needs to be done to cool inflation. that is what they were expecting, but it seems the central bank had other ideas instead. >> former cricket superstar imran khan will probably not outright majority. khan looking to be the leader, but there are allegations about the run up to the poll. >> to some extent this is normal in pakistan elections. khan had a big problem with the last election.

diplomats, analysts say the military is going into overdrive in this election. es thosee, khan deni allegations. as we saw in the result looks like imran khan had a resounding victory but not enough to form a government on his own. he does seem to have the backing of the military. how strong the government will be, what policies it will be able to implement, that is unclear. mark: the boj offering unlimited amounts of bonds for second time this week. it was for it by speculation the central bank may consider adjusting its policy. the volatility this week, do investors really think the boj is going to tweak its policy next week? >> at this point, there has been so much speculation about some

sort of a fine tuning in the bank of japan's stimulus program at next tuesday's meeting that it would be a surprise for most market players if there is no change whatsoever. for now they have telegraphed today and monday that the guidelines are the guidelines, and they are ready to enforce them. on monday and today when yields started getting further away from 0% on the 10-year bond, they have come in to offer an unlimited amount of bond purchases to prevent a breakout in yields. emily: tesla alarms investors again amid reports that the company is trying to get refunds from suppliers. tesla's shares dropped on monday following the release of a memo for the car company requested a return on a "meaningful amount of payments since 2016."

>> if you're an investor and concerned about their cash position, you can say it is great. they are taking advantage of the leverage. if you are running out of cash, you have more leverage in negotiations, and they are getting a discount. on the other hand, it does not look totally sustainable. we are seeing a lot of stuff from tesla over the last few months from workers describing very long hours, to elon musk describing long hours, the supplier issue. there is a lot of stuff that feels slapped together. that could be bad for your point of view or a sign of company that is just doing everything it can to get it done. >> bp made its biggest deal in almost two decades, agreeing to pay $10.5 billion for most of the onshore u.s. oil and natural gas asset. they give the london-based energy giant a part of the

permian basin, west texas and new mexico. >> analysts are looking at a $9 billion value. what you have seen from shares today is a test gone down on the bp side but up on the bhp side. >> we know the value is significantly above that, just from the assets we farmed into back in 2014. we were able to double the flow rates with the team we brought businessown lower 48 four or five years ago. dave lawlor from sandridge. there are major upsides. ♪
