4:05 am
the door to a potential pullback for interest rate hikes in 2019. u.s. equities gained the most in march after a more dovish tone was struck with the address to the economic club of new york. >> interest rates are still low by historical standards and they remain just below the range of estimates of that level that would be neutral for the economy , that is neither speeding up nor slowing down growth. detected broad-based buildup of abnormal or excessive levels. from mace financial stability perspective, we do not see dangerous excesses in the stock market. we know that the economic effects of the gradual rate increases are uncertain and may take a year or more to be fully realized. we are paying very close attention to what income and economic financial data are telling us. as always, our decisions on monetary policy will be designed
4:06 am
to keep the economy on track in light of the changing outlook for jobs and inflation. francine: that was the secretary arepowell, but some traders concerning that the powell put could be exhausted. but some say the economy is still kicking along nicely. >> the normal signs of what causes a recession, these excesses, banks getting way levered up, having half the leverage they did before, residential construction out of hand, commercial construction out of hand, those telltale signs are not there. so i would be willing to bet no recession in 2019. francine: we are also getting some breaking news out of deutsche bank. this feels pretty big. we understand this could be related to a probe. police cars have been seen outside deutsche bank .eadquarters we are showing you a deutsche bank is doing.
4:07 am
the shares are actually falling after this headquarters raid is being mentioned. we are following this conversation very closely. back to the powell put. joining us now is michael o'sullivan, regional chief investment officer at credit suisse. thank you for joining us on such an important market day. the rally is a little bit lower. what are markets looking at? do they worry about the g20 or will they continue with the powell put? so, i think given where markets are and many equity market prices have been depressed, risk appetite has been very low. one is the fed and powell. the other for emerging markets and europe is the g20. for those markets to join the u.s. what we need to see is an absence of trade tension for --
4:08 am
at the g20. ideally, you would want some kind of cosmetic trade deal between the u.s. and china. china will offer more access to american companies if they promise to reform state owned enterprises and the u.s. will stop the of position of further tariffs on china. that would be ideal. globalu would get a more and a more full equity rally. noticeable this morning that the asian market fell rather than joined last night. you say: overall, would the uncertainty is palpable on the markets? michael: i think the uncertainty is actually priced in. we have had a correction in october. we have retested the lows. in terms of market positioning, i still think there is more fear than hope in the markets. but i would look at it as the market is now more priced for bad news then good.
4:09 am
we get an absence of bad news at the g20. francine: give me a sense of what you think about end life questions. this is an outstanding blog. on the bloomberg terminal. the big question of the day is how long will the powell put last? what is your answer? tohael: i think it will have last until december until we have the fed meeting. i think this statement is to clarify the fed thinking on neutral rates. this has been a big issue for them. they have not been clear to the market. i think what he has done is hence that the neutral level of rathers probably 2.75% i thinka higher level
4:10 am
bond markets had already figured this out. equity markets have managed to rally. francine: michael, thank you so much. we are just getting breaking news out of the deutsche bank story in frankfurt. the shares are down. police were seen outside headquarters. the deutsche bank raid is part of money laundering probe. i think the share price is down some 1.8%. it might be falling off more as we find out more about what exactly this raid entails. this was first mentioned by a german news agency. deutsche bank down some 2.3%. i also need to bring your attention to it theresa is doing right now in the commons. she is facing questions from the commons liaison committee about her deal. this is on the back of mark carney yesterday warning about a very difficult, difficult
4:11 am
consequences for the u.k. to crash out. theresa may, of course, trying to explain her deal. i imagine she is explaining and will explain some of the thoughts behind the negotiations and maybe she wants to explain in full how much the eu could still give. she says the december 11 vote is an important point for the u.k. and we will continue monitoring her comments. this thursdayn morning and we will be back in a couple of minutes. this is bloomberg. ♪ oomberg. ♪
4:14 am
francine: this is "bloomberg surveillance." first of all, a market reaction after those powell comments yesterday where the market interpreted him as being much more dovish than expected. the u.s. 10 year yield falling sincefor the first time september 2018. the market is also trying to reprice how many hikes we will get from the fed. the danger, the chatter i'm hearing on the trading floor, is that the market represses to quickly and jay powell is not as dovish as he seemed yesterday. the second piece of breaking news is deutsche bank. we found out in the last 5-6 minutes that 170 prosecutors and police staff are involved in the deutsche bank raid. police were seen earlier today at the deutsche bank headquarters. we understand and we are trying to piece it together with
4:15 am
various reporters on the ground and of course from our head office in london. is suspected of providing help with these offshore accounts and two deutsche bank employees may be named as suspects. this is a report from the prosecutor. what we know is that it is certainly hitting the deutsche bank shares. they were down 1.5%. that decline was 2%. it is now a 3.3%. --know that deutsche bank police cars have been seen outside headquarters in frankfurt. if we look at a longer-term share price of deutsche bank, it bank, ititely had a tough has definitely had a tough time. questions about some of the risk management. this seems or could be new. we are trying to figure out exactly what the prosecutors are looking at. after police cars have been seen outside of deutsche bank headquarters, we are now getting prosecutors saying that this is
4:16 am
a big operation. 170 prosecutors with police staff involved in this deutsche bank raid. deutsche bank now saying that some accounts may have been used for illicit money. let's get straight to our reporter in frankfurt who covers deutsche bank very closely. this is a breaking news story. we found out in the past 5-6 minutes that there is this a great going on. what can you tell us? >> we don't know too much at this point. we have a statement out there from the prosecutors in frankfurt saying that they are doing a raid at the offices of deutsche bank in frankfurt since the early morning. we don't know exactly what it is about. the prosecutors said it is related to potential money laundering. they are not saying anything about which specific case. they mentioned that they have a suspicion that deutsche bank helped clients to move money
4:17 am
illegally and that is all we know so far from prosecutors. francine: in these kind of difficult times, we cannot really speculate, but do we know whether it is tied to any other bank right now or is it too early to tell? jan-patrick: no, we don't know that. it is always possible, but so far, the information we are getting from the prosecutors is what i just told you. i think we have to wait a couple more minutes to see what is going on and maybe get also a statement from deutsche bank. we have tried to contact deutsche bank some of that we did not get a response. prosecutors and police staff involved in this raid. by german standards, does this feel like a very big operation or is this something we have seen in the past? to me, fromors, london, feels very big. jan-patrick: well, i'm not an
4:18 am
expert and i cannot tell you how this compares to other raids, but i would say it is not unusual because usually when you rated bank, there was a lot of paperwork involved that you need to have a look at and confiscate , so you need lots of people. we have like 10-12 cars standing outside of the deutsche bank headquarters. i would say it is a reasonable amount of people that need to be involved just to handle the sheer amount of paper that needs to be handled. francine: yes, and i know i'm asking difficult questions because we are literally just finding out about the probe, so we are trying to figure out what is behind it. given that the chief executive is fairly new in the job, would he be implicated in this or do we just not know? jan-patrick: i think we don't know yet. we have to wait a little bit to see exactly what this is related to, if it is related to the panama papers which are going on for a while now -- then that
4:19 am
could be a different story than if it is related to something that occurred more recently. we have to wait and see what the matter is about exactly. francine: all right. thank you so much. our lead reporter on deutsche bank. let's focus on brexit. governor carney said the bank of england is prepared for the worst possible brexit and the u.k. faces the steepest economic slump since world war ii if it crashes out of the european union without a deal. the banks being ready for brexit is not sufficient to guarantee a particular economic outcome. there is little monetary policy can do to offset the potential significant hits to productivity and supply that brexit could entail. francine: now with us is the director of u.k. in a changing europe, michael sullivan from credit suisse is also still with us. we are getting breaking news out
4:20 am
of theresa may. she is currently testifying against -- in front of the liaison committee. she has also been asked whether she can confirm under all scenarios will u.k. citizens be under the current relationship. thank you so much for joining us. when you look at the deal, what exactly is the chance of this getting through? it seems on most impossible. >> there is very little if any chance of this deal passing at its first attempt. most people assume the will bring it, it will face a defeat. then depending on the scale, the government might think about bringing it back to parliament at a later date and trying again. maybe with some cosmetic changes , maybe having on back to the european union to change some of the text. the european union is not going to change anything substantial. francine: could they attach a second referendum to it? would that be more of a
4:21 am
disaster? anand: certainly, mp's are going to put an amendment on the bill that says we will approve it if it is approved by an amendment. the government needs to legislate on an amendment and parliament needs to decide lead tos and it will more uncertainty. the intriguing thing at the moment is there are a range of options and they all seem equally unlikely, but one of them is going to happen. it is impossible to tell what is going to happen at the moment. francine: michael o'sullivan, thank you for being patiently with us. where do you see the fault line when it comes to the markets? what is priced in? could we see the day after the vote if it gets shot down in parliament a significant fall or is it priced in? michael: i think it is priced in. assets, investors in the last year have really stood back. to find investors
4:22 am
outside the u.k. who have any kind of significant positioning to u.k. assets. also in terms of the market narrative, i think a failure at the first hurdle in parliament is priced in. i think theresa may is now pursuing a kind of compression strategy, where she is trying to narrow the options that the euro-skeptics and labour party have. there are signs that people are now beginning to think of a different but more pragmatic version. tom: michael, why does --francine: michael, why does governor carney go further than the government with this gloomy outlook? do we have the facts and figures to know how it will behave in the case of a no deal scenario? for the via an extension in the meantime? i think not only was he
4:23 am
prominent in terms of warning of the effects of brexit, but thankfully, the bank of england was one of the few institutions in for a brexit vote. i think some of the scenarios he painted are probably in terms of macro impact. there would be considerable economic damage to the u.k. if we get further uncertainty. this is part of a much bigger picture where public opinion has been formed head of the parliamentary votes. francine: what is the chance of a fresh election? anand: it is conceivable. it is harder because they have this piece of legislation that means the government does not have to resign if it loses this vote. under these circumstances, it is conceivable that we have an election because parliament is unable to agree on a move forward for brexit. francine: thank you so much for joining us both.

4:36 am
just as mr. trump should be interested in meeting with mr. becauseecause -- putin our relationship reached a low. frome who benefits improving this relationship. i think it should be resolved in the context of bilateral relations. we very much hope that any meeting between the two leaders could lead to better relationship. we always notice that after the meetings, after the meeting in helsinki, we had a very strong position from part of the congress. we had new sanctions. given that you can see the defeat of the central bank over the size of your capital requirements, can you afford dividends at 50% of profits? i don't think we can

afford 50%. we still should count how much we can spend on dividends has ae the central bank little bit softer approach. they extended the recommendation and that will be enough for us to be in line with the regulations, but i don't think we will be ready to pay the 50% dividends. there is no law for that. it still should count. francine: how much lower do think it will be> ? andrey: i don't know. that is still yet to be seen. we are interested in paying

the prosecutors also said this is not related to anything in denmark or danske bank. francine: if i look at the share 3.5%, areis now down we less worried than when the probe started straight away? could this be contained or do we just not know yet? think the share price is significant because when you look at it from today's high, we dropped a little bit more than 6% in today's total. market reaction that you have to knee-jerk a thing at the beginning and that people make up their mind what to do with it. it shows money laundering is a central topic. deutsche bank has been fined $18 billion in the past few years. if there is more of the back pocket to come, investors get a little bit nervous. francine: thank you so much.

5:06 am
all you have got to know is less trust, more trust before the financial crisis. what is the measurement of trust right now in this iconic bank? elisa: as you rightly point out, it is probably not a good measure right now, but it does affect its competitiveness in terms of how they comprise its services. trading we know is where the bank has struggled. at the moment, all of these indicators have continued concern and slack in terms of improving the controls and futures they have in place. it will not be good for morale inside the company at a time when many do bankers to be in good form and selling a good message. you have 40 banks memorize, when do we get a new measurement of the revenue challenges? is it eminent? is it out weeks, months?

elisa: it is months now. people are potentially reviewing the speed with which the top line could be picking up. francine: thank you so much. continuing the conversation on deutsche bank, joining us is dan morris. you probably don't want to talk deutsche bank at all, the let's talk a little bit about -- this is another concern for the bank. how much does this just .2 legacy issues for all banks in europe? you need better economic growth and a bit of a cyclical upswing. we have concerns with italy and brexit that indirectly hit the banks and the balance sheets. let alone these kind of particular issues. you do get a bit of a negative
5:08 am
alignment. we keep talking about m&a and the sector across border. cannot be done before all of these legacy issues are dealt with in individual banks? daniel: if the banks want to use their own equities and purchases -- tom: bringing up this chart was standing , and we were talking about the chronic nature of negative interest rates. here it is. i said, i'm going back and anding up on the terminal will dazzle dan at the fact that we have a germany to year yield negative since the middle of 2014. what is the price to all of these banks of chronic negative interest rates? l: it has made it
5:09 am
extremely challenging for the banks to generate any kind of net income revenue out of their operations. if you think about the outlook now, especially with people getting more cautious as to when the ecb will hike rates. that we was this idea are slowly getting down to this negative interest rate environment and there are brighter skies ahead, that seems to be less of the case. that drag seems like it is going to be there longer than we hoped. tom: once again, lower yields. do you just assume a lower grind down in yields? daniel: you need to think about what is going on in america. three hikesng for

5:16 am
powell has confirmed our review in the. -- that. chairman powell wnats more room for discretion. it took a long time for information to go from the brontosaurus's head to its tail. in the same way, the bond market is the brontosaurus' head which it sees something and try to react while the stock market is the last to get the news. do you have to reset your bond framework off with the chairman said? dan: not at all. if anything, we are they concerned with how the market is interpreting his comments.
5:17 am
it still suggests three hikes is appropriate and our view for next year. we may have a path, be that in march or june on the margin of change from what we have thought previously. fundamentally, we think you are going to see higher interest rates. december isn't it. there is going to be more than one next year. for now, the market is ignoring all of that. the realization is going to set back in about interest rates. francine: where do you want to be invested right now to take advantage of that? we are neutral in equities overall, but we are still underweight fixed income. we will continue on this much more. let me look at the bloomberg to see the 10 year yield was a 3%. 3.00% right now.

effects. areprobability of those shifting and there is no one a standout is highly probable. francine: what is being pressed into your pound forecast right now when it comes to brexit? thu: we have seen the options market has become relatively nervous. pricing and has been pricing any higher probability of a no deal. the levels are nowhere near what we saw around the 2016 referendum. the market still seems relatively relaxed when it comes to a no deal scenario. i think that is due to the fact that there are so many scenarios. what could happen after the vote in the british parliament. there are also scenarios that could play out.
5:25 am
we are talking about a second referendum which could lead to the u.k. remaining in the eu, which of the positive for the pound. it is very difficult to make a pound forecast at this moment with all of these scenarios. tom: what are we going to do? where is the opportunity on pound sterling? a think from a risk return perspective, i still think investors with pound exposure should take the opportunity to hedge their risk and their long positions because volatility's have picked up, but they are still relatively cheap because in a no deal scenario, i would expect the pound to depreciate at least by 10% or even more. as the market is not yet prepared for that. are buyingent you
