7:03 am
said that there is no plan to leave the euro within this government. >> they need to support and they realize that. the idea of decoupling from the euro is too much instability. it is completely unpalatable. david: they took the budget with a 2.4% deficit up to the eu, and said, thank you very much.
7:04 am
>> it is investors pricing and a lot of risk and italy. you have to have some really strong pushback which, maybe a few ticks below that. but there's not a lot the eu seems to be able to do to enforce. this is the environment we've been in for years now. i don't imagine italy will really change the game. >> how about the u.s.? it is over 3%. but it seems to be ignored. >> we see the u.s. with expansionary and budgetary policies. this is exactly what will be hitting.
7:05 am
you have policies driving and anothernding goal of president trump to narrow the trade deficit. alix: what do you do with italian assets right now. >> what matters for all asset prices is where the economy is going. this is clearly the bigger .river if we push through this budget, it does contribute to economic growth in italy.
7:06 am
the euro has depreciated a lot this year. you see pretty strong growth in earnings and discounted prices. for all the political risk. it is the fear of what policy will do. one of the things weighing on earnings, it is basically the tariff war's. we talked with the bmw cfo and they talk about the trade tensions.
7:07 am
>> of we talk about the trade impact, we are shy of negative impact in 2018. a high-impact in the p&l. that is the bmw carmaker, and we have some issues still. >> they are still close to the year-to-date low. if you think about where we are in the cycle, this is not a time for auto stocks in general. this is regardless of housing stocks because rates are rising. it is just getting more expensive.
7:08 am
the structures are terry's issues that impact the auto stock. unless you start to see real sales recovery, it is just unlike he that these will be the big out performers. and there's the under performance of small caps yesterday, the shift in mindset. is that the correct assumption? >> let's go back to the u.s. and ca -- usmca. the best part is that it happened. there is that risk that people were thinking all of a sudden, some stability.
7:09 am
this is to congress, mexico, and canada. the rules of origin, they have to pay to work with a bigger percentage. but it is not necessarily good for these companies. when they start, they start to pay out more. alix: on the heels of that, warns of tradede and global growth. >> six months ago, i pointed to clouds of risk on the horizon.
7:10 am
but it is not boring. but there is a bit of a drizzle. risks have of the become -- begun to materialize. and indeed, you will find that growth has plateaued. alix: so poetic. the u.s. could be shipwrecked when they go alone. in particular, emerging markets. that she didn't call out the u.s. and china by name but the implication was very clear. get your stuff together. get into a room, figure it out. these are the two parties that have still not come up with a framework. they are countering each other for months now, starting with for americanive workers.
7:11 am
it slows down the entire global picture. it is not just the u.s. or china. it is the global growth picture for 3.9%. saying christine lagarde would likely slow it down. you don't have a number yet. david: with all of these weather reports, i'm a little lost. of the christine lagarde's job is global growth. we've had a lot of forecasting in the u.s. and it has not come to pass yet when it comes to trade or deterring earnings back in the united states. >> i'm glad you brought this up because it is a critical point in time. it came out just one after the other end said there is no
7:12 am
impact. we are only seeing upside the growth. when we start to see real damage to growth conditions. inclination is there is an opportunity for upside beats. third quarter is hanging in there quite a bit. is a very small share of overall gdp in the u.s.. this is a critical point to make . trade impacts everyone else a lot more than it impacts the united states. david: a little sun in the forecast. bloomberg news, thank you so very much. on yourng g tv

7:15 am
the euro are from under pressure over fears that the tying government's new budget. the lower house budget committee by first saying, "i am more than convinced of italy with its own currency will be able to resolve problems. actually talked to francine lacqua saying that there is no
7:16 am
plan to leave the euro regardless of my own personal convention. joining us is paul richards. good to have you here. i think it is affecting the euro as well. >> it felt like free money in the world and something that we are reminded of the european's is him around. it will probably have another 50 odd governments from the end of the second world war. that gdp is 130%. 70% of debt is owned by italians. he will not be in parliament for much longer. at the nail and sylvain, the popularity has been managed quite quickly. this is his play. but what about the argument of the government that says, wait a minute, what worry
7:17 am
about growth. it will help the euro and it will help italian growth. >> this is what they were trying to convince markets on the weekend. 15 billion earmarked for public investment. drive around here and everybody is rushing to spend their budget. promise but ito is the issue in italy right now. it is 291 basis points. 400,uld widen out to nothing like what he saw in 2012. >> the problem you've got with this whole issue is that this could play out over two weeks, four weeks, or six months. , this tohing i do know
7:18 am
me, it is absolutely not great. the market is treading very carefully. it is wanting to look at the btv spread and i look at the euro. 115 this morning and not one 10, the market is telling you it is not a serious issue. but they are warning you it could get worse. i think that is pretty unlikely. take it more globally. we heard from christine lagarde about the rain and the drizzle. who are taking down global growth forecast. where are we? i think she's right. she is saying to china and the u.s. to be careful. they went about for five years with japan and he is digging in right now and has your of the president. it is not as dramatic as they
7:19 am
are probably hoping. i think christine lagarde is correct that you might sort this out. it will not be sorted out between now and the midterms. david: we are in no rush on china. we don't even want to talk right now because we don't think they are ready yet. is it possible for the u.s. to buck the trend and have the rest of the world really softening. >> what is happening is you have europe and calls by china, the u.s. is a safe haven which is why the dollar is catching a bit. you have to put your money somewhere. the problem is that the markets are thinking through and the issue for me is that in three weeks, the market has not tried. the possibility is low of the senate flipping. in the markets mind, the house moves and what if the senate flipped?
7:20 am
you going to treasuries and u.s. equities. that is a whole new ballgame. we are talking about the risks of global trade and here is what she had to say about rain. >> six months ago, i pointed to clouds of risk on the horizon. pouring, but there is a bit of the drizzle. the risks have begun to materialize. and indeed, they will find that growth has plateaued. alix: how do you invest for drizzle and a plateau of growth? or is the imf super behind global growth revisions. respect to, with christine lagarde, is that it's a little bit conservative.
7:21 am
i understand the drizzle analogy but i think the sun is still shining and 70 degrees out there today. i think in three months, it could be very cold and miserable. but i think it is a little premature to be talking about drizzle and rain clouds because there is a lot that can happen in the next three weeks and three months. your moneyre you put in the meantime, you put it in the u.s. and think about the midterm. that is why the italians need to think this out. they need to stop the carry-on. they know what is going to happen. negotiateey want to 1.9%. they will probably get it. to europe is incredibly underpriced with brexit on the horizon. david: thank you for staying with us. alix: redefining big banks, the question as on nbc has to do with all of the focus on deregulation. especially into the midterms.
7:22 am
here are some of the questions that are still on the docket, changing the big tank leverage ratio and trading restrictions as well as the asset side. it with me is the president and ceo. he is front and center to all major issues facing financial services. i feel like the deregulation conversation will have a lot of juice into the midterms in case we get a democratic house. what is the biggest deregulation? >> of wouldn't even call it deregulation, we see regulators and market regulators take a look at the rule set that they have today. saying what works, what doesn't work, and had we make modifications to make sure banks and broker-deals and asset managers will provide credit capital to the economy.
7:23 am
it across regulations swaps. there are a lot of other things on the docket. the sec has issues on the docket. also, even in the swap space and equity market structures. we see different regulation from different authorities. d you feel like that, in any way, has been hindering activity? >> market participants have seen fragmentation in the swaps market where we see gold plating of capital and liquidity rules in the u.s. compared to europe. the u.s. and europe are taking a look at that to say that we have one big mobile market. you mentioned brexit. as christie and carlos said yesterday at the end will meeting, we want to get to this
7:24 am
1-1 where we have a global swaps market, equipment regulation that has been adopted as part of the pittsburgh agreements. it is in place and let's iron up the differences. the conversation is not shifting to where the next crisis will be. david westin talked to hank paulson earlier last week to talk about the idea of the asset managers being so huge and with so much money in the blackbox. here is what hank paulson had to say. hank: we don't have the authority we need outside of the banking system. all these things are predictable having any kind of a major financial crisis. one hand, it is so important to him authorities -- to the authorities. i wish we had a few more protections. alix: what do you think?
7:25 am
>> with all due respect to secretary paulson. he has the industry well but there have been a lot of changes that affect asset managers. rules related to money market funds. we have to remember asset managers are not banks. they are different from broker-dealers. the role they play create a different scheme and we have to be cautious about trying to impose bank regulations on asset managers. i think regulators, the fsb, they have thought about that now and pulled back. alix: but what about the shadow banking conversation? loans by jefferies, kkr, leverage loans there and things they had to pull back because of regulation. is there a risk their? -- there? aboutn regulators talk shadow banking, what are they meeting? sometimes they are talking about secured financial transactions or things regulated by market regulators.
7:26 am
sometimes we have situations where they are looking at issues even though they are affecting market a dividend. to say that jefferies is a broker-deal operating outside of regulatory framework is really not correct. i think it is fair to look at activity regulation. that is what regulators have talked about, the fsb has talked about. not trying to impose a one size fits all approach. david: what is the biggest risk you are hearing right now? >> people are figuring about the market and concerned with exit. good news on the trade front yesterday. david: thank you, good to catch up with you. more coming up on bloomberg. ♪

7:34 am
institutional quiet base. obviously, one of the big developments has been the huge growth. what are you doing 15 years ago that the bank might be doing? interesting. we did it more in the smaller end of the middle market. >> when you're talking about the high-yield market blowing up, the diversity ride once it more institutional. they can go directly. what about the global

8:49 am
components of tech had more predictable earnings streams than the rest of the sector. you will have a more volatile sector. have the sector we used to be more accustomed to where it is more cyclical and dependent on software and hardware spending. facebook, their revenue stream, is driven by secular trends towards the internet, advertising was a component of earnings growth for those. the dynamics of earnings will change for a tech and they will change for the discretionary sector. media is a huge market shift for that sector. it makes that sector dependent upon amazon and increases earnings volatility for that sector. as much as we want to focus on the sector and what it means, the loss of constituents in technology and discretionary is the bigger story.
