7:00 am
muilenburg speaks at the air show in paris. central banks do no harm. --officials had to officials head to central. and administration officials downplay any results from president trump and president xi meeting at the g20 as market volatility picks up. david: welcome to "bloomberg daybreak." in hong kong, carrie lam pulled back. they still had a lot of people out. demonstrators say it was 2 million people. alix: it feels like maybe over the weekend, it grew to a larger issue than just the bill. now it is about carrie lam's resignation.
7:01 am
i do want to point out an interesting fact about income inequality in hong kong. apparently 20% of the population below the poverty line live in caged homes, basically a compartment made from wire mesh. david: i think of it as a fairly affluent place. i did not know that. alix: housing costs has been pushed up so high, so it is bigger than maybe just the extradition bill would imply. david: it is far from over. alix: the pictures are just unbelievable. david: in the meantime, pfizer is going to buy a commercial biopharmaceutical firm. they will pay about $10.6 billion in stock. the total enterprise value is about $11.4 billion. alix: in the markets, equity markets pre-much going nowhere on this monday. markets risk -- pretty much going nowhere on
7:02 am
this monday. a lot of risk coming in. a mixed euro-dollar in the g10 space. yields up by about three basis points, but still really range bound. crude getting hit yet again, despite unbelievable headlines about iran ramping up uranium enrichment and breaching the deal. david: we are going to come back to that story. in the meantime, let's look at the morning brief. today the paris air show begins in central portugal. wednesday, the federal reserve announced the latest fomc decision, and chair powell will have a press conference. on thursday, the bank of japan and bank of england announced their latest decisions. friday, u.s. pmi's and existing home sales. in the meantime, right now let's do the bloomberg first take. we are joined by marty schenker and gina martin adams.
7:03 am
let's start with that paris air show. it is a bit different. normally it is just selling thing. this time we have dennis muilenburg having to persuade people that his planes are safe. we have airbus out with a 100 aircraft deal with a leasing company. marty: it is much different than it has been in years past, when it has been transactional. but boeing is selling. they are selling the pitch that their planes are safe, and that is something permeating everything that is going on in paris today. alix: fairpoint, but also it is interesting to see the type of jets being sold. the smaller ones, single aisle. the airlines have the inventory they want. i feel like that is an undercurrent here. the order flow had been for the very multinational large jets, and that had stimulated growth in the sector, and now it
7:04 am
is transitioning. maybe it is consistent with where we are in the economic cycle. are you going to spend extraordinary amounts of money at this stage in the cycle with all the question marks coming? this is coming off a very strong levels last year. interest rates are generally moving higher. all of that helps set the stage for a central-bank bonanza this week. we have the central meeting coming this week, the fed and the boj, then you have boe. it looks like the market will not be able to take any strong positions before the fed, but how are we right now? gina: in a very rapid one-week move in june, we went back to neutral. obviously may was a very risk off month, one of the worst we've had in a long time, as exposure,pared back
7:05 am
would completely risk off with respect to trade. in june we saw the market roar back because of the potential for the fed support. it does put a lot of pressure on policy as the next potential catalyst for markets. will it be a fed support move week? i don't think equity markets are expecting that, but they would like to see confirmation it is coming in july. that could be a big question mark here. and then, there's outstanding trade issues. no one is expecting a miracle by the end of the week, yet there is this drag on overall sentiment growth. david: let's go exactly to that, the g20 and what is expected on trade. we have yet another white house official saying go to expect too much. that is what wilbur ross said to us. "i think we will have a deal with china, but we won't have a -- out of theina
7:06 am
g20." we don't even know that president xi will meet with president trump. marty: there has been no confirmation from the chinese. i think the optics of not meeting with donald trump and japan would be very bad. but how any times have we been saying in the last month, don't get your expectations up over g20? now it seems like the administration, in response to some of the comments the president himself has made, is trying to scale back expectations. these two leaders are not going to reach an agreement in japan. what they can do is kickstart the talks again, and that is something to watch for. alix: if xi jinping will physically actually be there. a headline just crossed that he is going to make a state visit to north korea june 20 and 21. how does that set the stage? marty: it is up in the air whether or not he will attend, but i do think that is not attendance would send a shockwave through the markets if
7:07 am
there is not going to be any conversation between china and trump in japan at that meeting. david: what are the equity markets expecting now? let's suppose they meet or don't meet, but only agree they will keep talking. that's it. will markets be disappointed, or do they expect that at this point? gina: they generally expect no major change. however, the offset they are expecting is a monetary policy month. the next if you get the double-barreled disappointment, the equity market is going to show that through elevated volatility. i do think that there is a lot of uncertainty with respect to where fourth quarter, first quarter 2020 earnings are headed. the longer this drags on, the worse expectations are going to have to get for recovery come up which is part of what is embedded in stock prices right now. it is something of our about
7:08 am
later into the summer months -- it is something i worry about later into the summer months. for now, it is really about if we don't get any sort of policy improvement on the trade side, it is ok because we are probably going to get a fed cut. that is the big hand off right now, and that is the big question mark equity markets are trading on. marty: there's also the issue of these tariffs that president trump has promised to impose at the end of june if they don't reach some sort of agreement with china. that is also hanging over the market. alix: i'd hum of companies -- alix: a ton of companies are in d.c. trying to persuade the president not to. thank you. for the trucks we used and more, go to gdp terminal -- go to gtv on your terminal. coming up, more on the hong kong protests and hedging geopolitical risk. we will talk with ian harnett, absolute strategy research she strategist. this is bloomberg -- research

7:12 am
ubs still feeling the aftershocks from its chief economist's use of the phrase "chinese big." the chinese railway construction deciding against bond sale.or a alix: i find that story to be totally fascinating in that, regardless of the motivation behind paul donovan's move, it really highlights the lack of cohesiveness between china and western countries in terms of how they even talk and talk to each other. david: is it just the absolutely wrong time and place right now because of tensions, or just an --stration of the law of the lost in translation between cultures and like witches? -- and languages? alix: a bloomberg opinion columnist wrote a really creepy on this. you could say that the response -- a really great piece on this.
7:13 am
you could say that the response is heavy-handed, but a couple other banks got kicked out of different countries in emerging markets. this is the way it is, guys. david: it is really tough. that bond was not that material to ubs, but the question is what comes next. they really want to make inroads. -- jdgan morgan stanley morgan and morgan stanley. david: let's stay in hong kong now. hong kong saw another massive day of protests in the streets yesterday, even as carrie lam said she would suspend consideration of her controversial extradition law. ms. lam: we have no intention to set a deadline, and will promise to report to and consult members
7:14 am
of the legislative council panel on security before we decide on a next step forward. david: joining us by telephone , former hong kong exchanges and clearing chairman. thank you for joining us. give us a sense of how you interpret what is going on in hong kong right now. would back offs after she backed off the statute, but protests continued yesterday. ron: i think it is not surprising because there was a theof public anger about whole thing. i think in part it was due to lack of understanding, and on the part of the government, a .ack of adequate discussion can be quiteills technical, so i think that for
7:15 am
people to actually appreciate what was being proposed, you needed to really sit down and explain it to them. over the past few months, since february when the bill came up, the government has been talking ,o a lot of professional bodies as well as a lot of commercial organizations like the american chamber of commerce. over the past three or four months, they have made ,mendments to the proposal listing the seriousness of the crimes to a minimum of seven where you canment actually extradite someone out of hong kong. david: you mentioned the commercial enterprises. give us a sense of what the possible longer term effects
7:16 am
could be on hong kong, both the stock exchange as a clearing center for offshore remember -- offshorering and be -- hub.nbi and a financial we had to start doing our own extradition agreements with other countries, and right now we have them with about 20, including the u.s. and u.k., canada, australia, south africa, finland, germany, and so forth. that work carries on. i think any sort of money center or any commercial center, or any law-abiding community, would have extradition agreements with countries outside of their own home. david: fairpoint. ron: i think if we don't have
7:17 am
it, that could be an issue. david: ok, fair point. really helpful to have you with us today. alix: joining us now onset, ian harnett, absolute strategy research chief strategist. more unrest could continue. what do you do? ian: you just have to recognize that policy uncertainty keeps risk premium high. this is one of the reasons why we still want to be very cautious on markets. hong kong is the third worst-performing market in dollar terms of the last month, of the 68 we monitor. asia is the weakest region because it is tied up with both the trade war, the tech war, and now this political uncertainty as well. bring us the binary risks in the market. bank of america had a great note out earlier this week that talked about if the fed cuts and if it doesn't, if trade gets settled but there is no fed cut,
7:18 am
a deal at g20 but the fed is dovish. are we looking at this binary world? ian: i love the idea of this binary world. i've heard people talking about you have an overlay or of behavioral finance on talk. it is not different this time. economic growth is slowing. . there isn't a binary outcome. growth is slowing. you there is ang very simple choice investors have to make it moment. are equities giving you the right message, or are bonds giving you the right message? our belief is that bonds always tell you the right message. alix: ian harnett will be sticking with us. david: coming up, boeing's focus at this year's paris air show is to regain the trust of its customers. bloomberg interviewed ceo dennis muilenburg. dennis: with the updates we are making on the max, it will be one of the safest airplanes ever to fly. ♪
7:19 am
7:20 am
7:21 am
♪ david: the paris air show is underway today, and boeing has a somewhat different task this year. it is trying to reassure customers that existing boeing 737 max planes will return to service safely. our colleague guy johnson talked with boeing ceo dennis muilenburg. dennis: first thing is we are very focused on safety. that is the tone for the entire show. we are making good, solid progress on bringing the max backup, working for the certifications in relation flights this week. we hope to schedule the flight test, the certification flight shortly, and get the airplanes back up in the air. all of this is being done through the lens of safety, and we will take whatever time is necessary to make sure the airplane is safe. guy: 2019? 2020? dennis: it is something we expect to happen for the end of this year, but i don't want to give a specific timetable.
7:22 am
we want to take the time necessary to make the planes safe. guy: are regulators going deeper than you anticipated? is this a more thorough examination of the aircraft? dennis: it is a very thorough examination, and we expect that, and in fact encourage it. we are working with all of the regulators. about two weeks ago, the faa hosted a multi-regulator forum in dallas. we are working with the bodies around the world, and it is important we do this in a thorough and disciplined way. -- are theit regulators going further in then you have expected initially? dennis: i think we are going even deeper than normal, and that is good. we encourage that. we are looking at every dimension of the max, the software update, but not only the airplane itself. also the training and education materials, and he had to head certification progress. dennis: are the regulators -- guy: are the regulators all in
7:23 am
the same place? dennis: i see growing convergence between the regulators. a lot of detailed work on the certification, and we are encouraged other collaboration between the regulators, and we are seeing growing convergence between them. guy: do using the aircraft will fly first in the u.s. and then europe, or at the same time? dennis: i know there's an opportunity to do it together. we are going to support whatever the regulators want to do in terms of bringing the airplane back. betweenthere a gap where the faa is and the others? dennis: i think there is still work to do, but the trend is that they are converging. i think that alignment will just add strength to the regulators. if i look around the world, i see convergence across the entire group. i am encouraged by that process. our focus is to remain steadily on safety. alix: that was boeing ceo
7:24 am
dennis muilenburg. ian harnett of absolute strategy research is still with us. how do you look at boeing? ian: one of the interesting thing we seen from boeing and airbus is the ceos have said to investors they believe their industry is no longer a cyclical business. we believe the end of a long investment cycle is one of the most dangerous things investors can believe, and ceos can believe, because if we get economic growth slowing and we are seeing those recession risk indicators increasing in the united states, that actually puts aerospace at the heart of the downturn. historically they have been a cyclical sector. david: aerospace has a substantial proponent from the government, defense spending. does that change it a bit? ian: one hopes so, but what you fear is that that spending is there when economic growth is strong and revenues are high, but as you go into a slow down,
7:25 am
the ability to carry through those orders actually becomes much tougher indeed. david: how sensitive is it to trade? we had china threatened not to buy boeing aircraft. ian: some of the key growth for both airbus and boeing has been in the china expansion. the long run projections they have for that chinese expansion, i think a chinese slow down and chinese trade deals are going to this industry. alix: which raises the question, what leads what? is it the micro or the macro? how do you understand it? ian: i am a top-down strategist, so it has got to be the macro. every industry believes they are immune to these things, and they are not. we saw this in 2006, 2007 with people saying they were no longer cyclical. david: are there pressures that pie?row the side of the
7:26 am
those who are more likely to travel? david: absolutely, but when you look at some of the books boeing and airbus have come of the ability to carry through with those and not have a buildup of inventory, that is where you get the pressure coming through. alix: that is a small plane, not the big one. ian harnett of absolute research strategy will be sticking with us. don't miss airbus ceo guillaume faury, coming up today at 11:30 a.m. coming up, president trump wants credit for all of the economy's performance, but will it help carry him to a second term? meansn what that next. this is bloomberg. ♪ g. ♪

european stocks do nothing. the dollar is really mixed in the g10 space. you have a little bit of selling in europe, like into german ten-year bund yields, just -24 basis points. i guess better than the -27 record we saw last week. yields up about three points. the real head scratcher is crude, off by 1%. the headlines from iran to it is a bin salman, little terrifying, and let crude is totally immune to it right now. david: that must be a demand issue because supply seems to be in question. they must be thinking demand is even worse. alix: and how do you factor geopolitical risk? david: now let's find it was is going on outside the business world. we turn to viviana hurtado, who is here with first word news. viviana: for the first time, iran may break a land mark agreement that was meant to keep it from developing a nuclear bomb.
7:31 am
the islamic republic says it will exceed agreed-upon limits on its inventory of enriched uranium. last month iran said it would start withdrawing from the agreement in 60 days unless europe through it an economic lifeline -- europe threw it an economic lifeline. the u.s. withdrawing from the deal a year ago. in hong kong, hundreds of thousands to mistreated a bill that would allow extradition to china for the first time. chief executive carrie lam apologizing and shelving the bill, but protesters want her to resign. all of this putting pressure on china to either compromise on the protesters' demands or risk further unrest. the trade war between the u.s. and china has intel reviewing its global supply chain. bloomberg speaking to the ceo in tel aviv. >> tariffs started last year. with our manufacturing and assembly operations, we have

7:33 am
over the next two to five years. david: and if overall demand is coming down, it doesn't matter what you do to the supply chain. ian: but what we also know is this makes things more expensive. it damages demand and increases costs. of absolutearnett strategy research will be staying with us. president trump tweeted over the weekend that he should be credited with creating "one of the best economies in the history of our country." here with his is michael mckee. michael: the president is presiding over the one of the best economies we have had, but does that mean he gets credit? does that mean he gets reelected? that is a problem political scientists will debate between now and november of 2020. here are some of the data we are looking at. the growth rate for the economy has been strong. it has picked up in recent quarters because of the tax cut. but when you put it in perspective and look at it over a store -- over a historical
7:34 am
period of time, this is one of the weakest periods we have seen. we came off of the greatest recession since the great depression, and it took a long time to rebuild from that, which may not have anything to do with donald trump. the feelings of the voters are going to matter. do they really feel this is a strong economy? one of the president's arguments is that the unemployment rate is near record lows, and that is true. but if you look at the chart, president obama saw the unemployment rate fall further faster than donald trump. the president has been in office a much shorter time than barack obama was, so could it keep going? it is possible. some fed officials think we could get down to 3.5% or possibly 3%. you can say that the president has had a stronger recovery in didtwo years then obama come about obama was coming off the great recession. here is where the spending came
7:35 am
for donald trump mostly in government spending. remember the big spending bill for defense. , business, and households still very weak. alix: i love that breakdown. over the weekend, president trump tweeted, "the trump economy is setting records and has a long way to go. however, if anyone but me takes over in 2020, they were be -- there will be a market crash the likes of which has not been seen. keep america great." michael mckee and ian harnett are still with us. hyperbole aside, is he actually right? dennis: clearly the economy has done well, and it has done well look up to global economies, but what we are seeing now is that the recession risk indicates the start of a pickup. something is happening here, and
7:36 am
the danger for investors is if you believe it is different this time, normally those are the foremost -- normally those are the four most expensive words. david: about 40% of the country think to gets -- of the country thanks he gets credit on the economy. true that think it is it matters to people on election day, but there's the keyword. on election day. we have a long time between now and then. i would like to mention the st. louis blues won the stanley cup on wednesday. on thursday morning, the first article came out saying who is going to win the next one. this is way too early. [laughter] we will have a stanley cup
7:37 am
winner again before we have an election. alix: if you come inside to bloomberg, this is one of my favorite charts, the 10 year breakeven expectations for u.s., germany and japan. we have so much central banks coming out, particularly chair powell on wednesday. what you do with this? dennis: economic growth globally is decelerating --ian: economic growth globally is decelerating. policymakers will have to respond. remember, you get the monetary policy you deserve. if the fed decides to hold off cutting rates, the bond market will take that further. in the past when you have seen recession risks rise, you've basis points,00 treasury yields down 200 basis points down from their peak, and the yield curve steepen 150 basis points. the only way i can reconcile
7:38 am
those numbers from where we are starting is that the 10 goes to 150, and fed funds goes back to zero. that is what the market is telling at the current time. david: with the president like to see that as a practical matter? what does that mean for the economy on election day? michael: that would suggest terrible news in the economy. if the fed cuts too much too fast, then you have a market reaction of, what do they know that we don't now. is a double-edged sword for the president come up a part of this is a problem his created -- part of this is a problem the president created with the trade wars. david: thank you both very much for being with us. coming up, deutsche bank tries to separate the good from the bad. the bank's overhaul plans are part of today's wall street beat. that's next. this is bloomberg. ♪

7:52 am
how ominous is that? guest: sure. good morning. thanks for having me. low-grade uranium, which is what the iranians threatened to increase and have today announced they will be pursuing more of, is what is used for nuclear plant purposes. importantly, what the iranians also announced today is that limit ond exceed the enrichment, which means that if they surpassed that limit, which they didn't say they would come of it it is very likely given the threats today, you enter the had a gory -- you enter the category of high enriched uranium coaches what is used to develop a nuclear weapon. have: on the one hand, you the nuclear aspect of this commode is really the reason this all got started with the deal president obama struck. on the other hand, you have this threat to shipping in the region.
7:53 am
do you have any doubt in your mind? hagar: i have no doubt in my mind, and the reason for that is because i was a national security professional for 12 years in the government. with thosery closely intelligence officers, military officers, and civil servants who would be the one analyzing that intelligence and data, and allowing the leadership to release it. furthermore, the releasing of data like that and intelligence is usually not the only piece of intelligence that gives the u.s. reason to believe something. there are usually multiple pieces. it just depends what they can release to the public without revealing sources and methods. for me, it is no question, given the u.s. putting out there that iran was behind the attacks. from an intelligence perspective, it makes sense, but also, it really comes out of the iranian playbook, and it makes iran -- makes

sense given iran's threats. they threatened to close the straits of hormuz. it doesn't surprise me that they would pursuing a cap on commercial vessels -- pursue an attack on commercial vessels. david: if it is a ron, -- if it is iran, is it likely it will continue? do you expect it will continue as long as the united states continues to ratchet up pressure? hagar: yes, i expect both sides to ratchet up their actions. iran will continue pursuing these types of attacks as a message and a warning. attacks way i could see are a miscalculation that would lead us to a broader military conflict, which i really don't see happening, but the only scenario i envision is if an attack were to happen on u.s. property. i don't think iran would make

that kind of miscalculation because it is in neither side's interest to go to war, and both sides are aware of that. on the u.s. side, i expect additional sanctions. the u.s. has threatened the financial channel that iran has established trade with europe, and that is a strong message. what they would be saying is we are not going to be tolerating any u.s. work around. step i expect is to encourage europe to ratchet up their sanctions, given the uranium enrichment. david: let me raise the possibility of military involvement, of accompanying ships over there. might that lead to a conflict? hagar: i just don't see that happening because it is not something new. we've done that before in those waters, and other waters.
7:56 am
it is not as provocative as it may sound. it is actually more of a defensive measure, so no, i don't think that would lead us to a miscalculation. i was at the white house in 2012 when tensions were heating up and folks were talking about war , and sanctions were at their peak. this is not where he landed then, and i don't expect this to land there now. david: thank you do hagar chemali. alix: coming up on the program, rbc capital head of u.s. market equity strategy, will be joining us. what is actually priced in in terms of g20 while we set up for disappointment. this is bloomberg. ♪

rethinking. joining us with a broader look at semiconductors is bloomberg's taylor riggs. taylor: like you said, ever since may 5, the semiconductors have really underperformed the broader market. that was a reversal from what we saw the first part of the year. the stoxx index through april was up as much as 35% at one point. in may, it all fell apart, having its worst month of underperformance relative to the s&p 500 since 2004. chipmakers are still underperforming. why is that? we heard from broadcom last week that a lot of this is tariff related. customers are not purchasing chips the way they used to, so with the drop in prices of memory chips, some of the big chipmakers that really track those are following along with it, giving concerns about oversupply and customers not re-upping those orders. today, chips look like they are trying to improve a little bit

8:06 am
actually telling us to tamp down expectations? i still sit in the camp of i don't think the fed moves until they see actual degradation and damage to the economy. i don't think slowing growth is going to be enough to get them to move. alix: this is a great binary outlook from bank of america about different deals. so you have no deal at g20, a hawkish fed versus a dovish fed. do you feel like we are in a binary world? why ii do, and that is feel the market isn't doing anything. we had that 5% or 6% break. investors are trying to figure out what the heck to do. i applaud them because they are not overreacting, but they are waiting for this new slow. david: that sounds defensive to me. lori: we've been telling people to buy consumer stable stocks. i am really excited that the

need to keep growth going. is that a version of the dual mandate or is that something else? the: it is repackaging of dual mandate into terms that are more market friendly. there's been a shift, but i would not say it is a full departure. alix: a backdrop to all of this is the falling inflation expectations. it takes a look at the german, japanese, and u.s. 10 year breakevens. how does a central banker look at this chart and solve for a problem like this? that is one of the central banker's greatest nightmares is to fall into a deflation trap. if we have any reason to believe that is imminent, we will see aggressive monetary policy. alix: with that make a difference in terms of inflation expectation landscape? mark: it would help. the problem we face now is that rates are low.

8:40 am
tremendous. david: what is up? what is down? tom: the things that until recently have been down are the large commodities like born and soybeans which have been driven by global supply and demand. we've recently seen a 20% run-up of corn prices because of the weather affect, because of the significant decrease in acres expected to be planted, prices have come up. to spot alead differentiation in different places your negatively affected by that in a 50 mile place, that will be bad for those people, but good for other people who can sell their crops for 20% higher price. david: one of the things we heard about other parts of the economy is the of your crisis. -- is the opioid crisis. we have it in agriculture as well and you are dealing with
