4:16 am
oughourlian, we follow the price of oil. how does it translate into your wallet? does it make a difference in your portfolio strategy? joseph: it does. i tend to get worried if the price of oil gets above the $70-$80 level. europe is a big consumer of oil. there isn't a big producer except for norway. francine: does it make a difference on the company that you like question mark are you take a wide range? joseph: the sector is attractive. prices are quite depressed. it is a combination of things. it is a combination of the oil price not being great. it has been quite volatile. there is a general trend towards
4:17 am
people selling these stocks for esg reasons. the government of norway trying to say they wouldn't buy it. there is structural pressure on the sector. that is actually marginally positive from a supplier perspective because it means the higher cost of capital for the sector. that is the whole story of the oil sector, kind of lackluster demand but good supply dynamics. francine: thank you so much. joseph oughourlian stays with us. president trump becomes the first sitting u.s. president to enter north korea but what was achieved at the summit? that is coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:22 am
to restart talks. kelly. us now is robert professor, thank you for joining us. president trump says he was the first sitting u.s. president but does it make a difference? does it make a difference with north korea? robert: at home, it will make a difference. the president will get great play from sympathetic media and is voters will love it. the real issue is will it change things on the peninsula? will they be strategic change? will there be forced redeployments? i don't know, american concessions on something or another peer so far, that doesn't look like the case. thatork times quoted -- seems to be floating out there.
4:23 am
nobody knows if that is real or not so maybe there was progress on that. there was no statement from the event, so it looks like it was another handshake and photo op. that isn't bad but it doesn't progress on the issues. francine: does it mean that the north korean leader will be more amenable to signing something? does it make no difference? robert: that is the trump gamble. hispresident is hoping personal relationship with kim will convince kim to believe the united states is no longer a threat and can can give up some of his missiles or warheads. it might work. there is a why not see what happens approach? that is not how states make decisions. donald trump has credibility issues in the past where he is not been great with his own personal contractors back in the
4:24 am
united states so there is issues with whether kim would believe trump. after 40 years of little progress in north korea, i suppose it is worth a try. francine: wind we find out if it moves the needle on denuclearization? how much time do you give it to see if this was a photo op or more? robert: that is an excellent question. trump has been saying he wants this relationship with kim since march of last year. we are in month 15. months, has anything happened? the answer is no. many people in the analyst community are skeptical. it looked like a big thing last year when it first happened in june in singapore but now this is the third time and everybody starts shrugging their shoulders. what is different? not a whole lot. we can mark it as a victory but any sort of denuclearization
4:25 am
out. the north koreans have a lot of stuff. it is a big thing in will not be wrapped up in a short handshake like this. francine: given the process between china and of korea, could some kind of agreement happened with the u.s. -- if the u.s. is in a trade war with china? robert: that doesn't help. this is what is surprising about the trump administration. they are not cooperating with china which is the patron and the paymaster of the north koreans. without china, and of korea is in real trouble. -- without china, north korea is in real trouble. to cooperateoing with us on very much. the trade war is going to sour the whole show.

restrictions on huawei. the president says the u.s. is winning the trade war. >> as the president said, continuing the talks which have been interrupted for a while is a very big deal. that is a banner headline and everybody is going to be pleased at that. no promises, there is no deal made, there is no timetable. i want to emphasize that. >> deutsche bank might cut more than a fifth of its global workforce. it would be the lender's biggest shakeup in years. the chief executive may approve the loss as many as 20,000 jobs. he was saying he was working on cutbacks after failed merger talks. they grapple with surging u.s. shale output and weakening demand growth. the group output falling for a seventh straight month, this as

an elite candidate after receiving backing from angela merkel. victory still hangs in the balance as it faces opposition on the section of the center-right. joining us, why is it so difficult to find the people get the top jobs? >> good morning. it is timmerman who is now the frontrunner in this competition. it has been a night of long internal invention -- division. angela merkel has backed him but the issue for the chancellor is at her own christian democrats disagree with the decision. don't seetell you we the rationale behind this decision to appoint a socialist who did not win the european election to be the biggest political job in brussels. they don't understand the rationale behind it but it is interesting that we have seen
4:35 am
for a very long time for the first time in a long time, a real pushback against angela merkel which will tell you a lot more about our own political career as a stage. of whoe: give us a sense will get the ecb job or what's country wants to be ahead of ecb. >> that is another big question because if we do get friends timmermans, that means you have simmer -- that may mean the germans will still be empty-handed. waveform media frenchman to leave the european central -- lead the european central bank. the fact that there is a real possibility that by the end of this protest they could go home with nothing. we do understand the european leaders will tell you we need to look at the european central
4:36 am
bank differently. this is a big package. nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. we perhaps need to take a little more time to make this decision to get the political job done. francine: maria, thank you so much. still with us, joseph oughourlian. you are a big investor in all of the periphery countries. you need to have a good appetite to try and get through them. where do you see value in europe? joseph: value in the stock market. they look cheap and even cheaper now. we have seen major can pressure -- major compression in the yields. greece has gone from a staggering race from 8% yields to less than to perform -- less than 2.5% now. the best performance in terms of yields. as a consequence, the stock
4:37 am
market is due for a big bounce. it has done very well this year. probably one of the best-performing stock markets, up more than 30% this year. thecine: understand, disenfranchised youth may turn to conservatives. does that change how you view greece? joseph: it would. what is interesting about greece , if on july 7, the new democracy, i.e., more the stream pro-reformsrty, party gets elected, then, greece would have been the first european country to have gone through the tunnel of populism and to have come out the other way. in some ways greece is ahead of europe from that standpoint. italy maybe next. francine: i guess the greeks had
4:38 am
a very clear referendum. can you say the same thing with other countries? does it worry you that some of these populist parties will come much more vocal in either having parallel currencies or something like that? joseph: i am not that worried because what you have seen in greece is actually the template for what is happening in the rest of europe. those populist parties are great in terms of dealing with social networks, making opinion, even getting elected, but once they are elected, they kind of inlize the room for maneuver terms of economic policy isn't that great. as you mentioned, tsipras went to his people. they all said, they all gave a resounding no and then he turned around and still had to deal with eu and stayed in the euro
4:39 am
and gave them austerity for five years. that is why people are through with populism in greece and i think that is why people will be through with populism and the rest of europe at some point. francine: let me show you the share price of atlantia in the last five years. italy's government took some preliminary steps in relocation of this concession held by the tally a. how do you do this? following the disaster in general, should it make investors a lot more nervous? is it a good buying opportunity? joseph: it has been a tricky one, to be honest. it is not something i would have appetite to take on. i think there are some reasons. you've got to distinguish the underlying case and the form.
4:40 am
the underlying case is quite murky. in terms of provoking the concession there's a risk there. there are lots of issues with the concession and those issues go back since the privatization in 1999. in some ways, the italian government might have a point here. unfortunately, the form with which the italian government approaches is awful. minister of the country to get on the tape, the stock market is open, well, the shares are listed are moving and to say, this company is cooked as he did last week, that sends shivers down investors next. frankly, it sends a terrible signal about the italian
4:41 am
government dealing with business in general. francine: where do you pick where you want to be? joseph: there's a lot of utilities if you like utilities that don't carry those types of risks. i don't think it is particularly attractive here. i would be looking more at is here bets. the banks look very oversold to me. i'm not a big fan of banks fundamentals there's a big price for everything and they have cleaned up, by a large. i think it is improving. you would be surprised by the numbers this year. receipts will be stronger than what people think. there will be issues with brussels in terms of them having to adjust their budget. there is a lot of good

4:46 am
will it be enough? we will see. have any ideae whether this will be confirmed? if so, when? is it happening because we have had revival plans and shareholders do not believe in this overhaul. >> that is true. what we need is some more details here. how fast will it go for these cuts? how quick will they be able to implement them? how quickly will the benefit flow? how will the new bank look like? is this the beginning of the investment bank -- beginning of the end for the investment bank as a whole? these are questions that the management has to answer. all of the metrics they are going -- measures they are going to take will all be very costly and might mean that the big has to raise capital again. if that is the case, that will

not be an easy story to sell to the investors. francine: young patrick with the very latest. still with us, just of google yarn. if you look at -- joseph oughourlian. if you look at dutch bank -- >> i would not touch it with a large bowl. there is no value in the shares. they are going to make some significant costs and for that they need to raise capital. even beyond that, if you just look at deutsche bank, what does it stand for? where is it strong? francine: 15 years ago, everybody wanted to work for deutsche bank. perhaps.0 years ago, francine: there must be value in the brand? if it merges with someone. will the bank survive if it finds a purpose? joseph: there is value in retail firms and

banking. inre is not much point corporate investment bank. they are not there. they don't have the size. they don't have the wherewithal and probable domestic markets like the americans have. deutsche bank doesn't have the ,alance sheet, business model even if it had a retails franchise next to it on which he could use. unfortunately, it has none of that. no, i wouldn't touch it as a shareholder. i'm not sure i would put my money in that bond. francine: is there anything in the european landscape -- is europe over bank? can you find value as a shareholder? joseph: the fundamentals of the banks are not great. negative interest rates is
4:49 am
terrible for banks. their business model is being .hallenged by sin tech having said that, there is a price for everything. frankly, banks in southern europe, lee spain and italy which have cleaned up, they look interesting. they are more of a trade than a long-term holding. they are on their lowest evaluation in terms of pe and price book. frankly, they are a lot more capitalized and they are a lot cleaner than they were back in 2009. francine: joseph, thank you so much for joining us. the chief executive and founder at amber capital. we are getting live pictures, the opec roster has just started. poised to extend production cuts

joining us now is john morgan and land a car. thank you for joining us. when you look at this trade truce, will we be back to trade tensions after two days with a presidential tweet? >> i don't think we will be back there in two days. i will not be surprised if we are back there in two months. the congressional leadership was criticizing the president's , so whoon on huawei knows if that is going to stick. i think you are seeing an overly optimistic extrapolation of a trade deal. francine: what is at stake here is clear for both countries, but does china want to deal at any cost? >> no.
5:10 am
it is almost like we had to reset the negotiations because it is not just about whether it .s on the imports what destroyed the trade deal was going to the harsh state directed capital overshift in china. it is almost like you have to have a reset to the negotiations and address the wider issues in the relationship rather than concentrating on the trade. if that happens, that will take a long time to happen. saw imagesa, we just from hong kong. we are trying to catch up with an historic handshake in north korea over the weekend. we forget osaka. how big of a cave was it for the president of the u.s.? >> in terms of? huawei and theon

terms, and what is the relationship going to be in this new world order? the existing negotiations were almostcessful, and it is like both sides have to come together with a new agreement. francine: when you talk about too much optimism in the markets, is there too much optimism? longer-term is it too steps -- optimism longer-term? is it two steps forward, two steps backward? >> what was announced over the weekend was a truce, not a rollback of tariffs. one wants to justify the levels that equities are at, you need steadinessthat this over the course of the summer is going to restore growth above

breather. i think jpmorgan had a call of 1.75% on 10 year yields. does that still hold? >> absolutely. francine: regardless of what happens on trade? >> given that the view is that the tariffs stay in place indefinitely, the fed is going to have to ease a couple of times. you have this story of inflation being too low and the fed trying to achieve higher sustained inflation, i am comfortable with the call that the 10-year yield is going to be below 2%. francine: what does that mean to the rest of the market? that would be quite remarkable. >> usually you would be nervous about the growth outlook, but this is a different kind of

jmmc monetary market. it is frailty of demand that needs continuity and certainty, the language the opec ministers want to convey. general the secretary all wanting to convey this is our intention to deliver continuity. my guess is a nine-month extension is preferred. that is the preferred option of most of the jmmc. the iranians are not in that agreement. they be how would looking at the trade truce between china and the u.s.? does it have an effect on global growth? >> i think inevitably it does, anything that moves the needle on global demand. this is about the point of frailty in global demand.

that can turn on a dime if there is an aggressive and substantial deal done between president xi jinping and donald trump. you have trade negotiations with the u.s. this is not a done deal with regards to trade. this is about opec plus try to get ahead of the frailty of demand that might come to bear in 2020. iran wants to lobby for a political settlement. tom: i think you are dead on about the idea of demand being more important than supply. how do they speak about oil inand at the supply fest vienna? do they talk about it in open conversation? >> absolutely. the two most pressing issues are inventories. it is your part of the world that is giving these people much more to think about. lostince 1991 has opec

francine: we talked a little bit about treasuries, the call from jpmorgan. ,e talked about dollar strength stabilizing or weakening against certain currencies. we want to ask about euro and in specific whether the euro trend shifts depending on who becomes ecb president? there are some questions of if they have the tools for the next downturn. i think you need an ecb president who follows in the footsteps of mario draghi and someone who should be skilled in thinking of new ways to implement and craft monetary policy. if you have a region where balance sheets are negative, inflation is undershooting the
5:43 am
central-bank target, you question of how they get back to their objective. you have to be concerned if the next ecb president is someone who does not have a lot of experience in monetary policy. francine: do they need monetary policy, or do they need to be a good politician? assuming they cannot do anything terribly new, they have to go back to the existing toolkit, which is cutting rates. that will require some salesmanship, and in that sense i guess it politician would be helpful. when the next crisis hits, you are going to need a greater range of newer tools. i wonder where that is going to come from if the next ecb president is not a career monetary policy person. tom: the setting of euro a million years ago was extraordinary. this is synthetic euro. this is going to inverted. you check on the euro at the blue circle. euro weakness, massive euro
5:44 am
strength, and that great rollover that john normand chronicles every day. to your point on monetary theorists running the view forward, what do they need to avoid that mr. trichet did? there seems to be such a stark path from trichet to draghi. i think if you want growth higher than inflation, you need more draghi as opposed to more trichet. positionomes to that is going to have a difficult predicament. you cannot really use the traditional tools they have used in the past. those have been almost completely exhausted by draghi. this is why the person has to be skilled as a politician to sell the existing toolkit more forcefully to european capitals or come up with different possibilities.
5:45 am
vitamin toolkit the toolkit of austerity? >> i don't know if it is austerity per se, but he is slightly more conservative in his views. if he ends up as the next ecb president, i don't think one should buy the euro thinking he will tighten monetary policy. i think he will be looking for additional unconventional ways to provide stimulus. he would use the traditional stimulative tools if the economy required it. francine: there are loads of legal questions. if it goes beyond the toolkit we have now. >> sort of. i think the legal questions have been handled by the ecj. there are a number of operating adopted.s the ecb has these are of their own construction, so they can be changed if the ecb governing council decided it were necessary. francine: we are looking at a

you could argue that the most important job is ecb president. what kind of qualifications that person need if we are going to limit monetary policy? carl: the ecb president should have a strong backing in economics. that is something that draghi brought to the job that his predecessors did not have. they had no real strong training in economics and navigating through these extreme times of unusual policy and extraordinary policy measures. that is what i would like to see, somebody with that. do others fit the bill? carl: all three have what it takes but they have different worldviews and different cultures. carl weinberg with

6:38 am
when you do not know what the rules are. tom: do we improve the rules over the weekend? the market has improved. the bull market has lifted up. am i right that money is up to our chins and there is money available to effect transactions? bob: it is not money -- you are completely right to ask the question. the problem is -- what is going to happen if you announce deal? all the financial modeling looks great but how do you value things with tariffs and threats and inconsistency? it is not just trump, the world is more nationalistic. : we saw this around assessld but banks can't risk whether it is trade
6:39 am
differences are uncertainty about who will be the president of the eu and what the relation with mr. trump would be. there is a lack of lending in europe and japan and canada and that is the flip side that you are seeing in the deal world, which is we are in turbulent times and without credit being willing to go out and people willing to take the risk, things slow down. francine: i am looking at some of the figures because we have someone from ap morgan talking jput m&a fraud -- from morgan talking about mna. -- m&a. there has been a transformation of deals in the u.s.. what are the deals driven by, industry or funding? carl: it is not a motivating factor, funding.

6:41 am
because of regulatory concerns? bob: it is down from high numbers but there is a lot going on. europe is different. nationalism has always been a factor there. frankly, i think the financing is still there and it was down 30%. how do you explain that? there is uncertainty about whether a recession will happen first, assuming when it happens. tom: do you have a thought on the new world of health care? there seems to be a rollup of health care because profits are nonexistent. is that a correct analysis? bob: it is an industry where synergies play a bigger part of the story and that improves the profit margins. --ergize means tom: to cut costs.
6:42 am
something?t to add is there a question? trade creates uncertainty and barriers divert trade as well as create trade. is there any evidence you are seeing that the trade barriers are creating new opportunities for mergers in different directions and new producers in the pan, india, places like that? bob: i don't think so. worth,e, for what it is is that it is uncertain. making huge capital commitments, you have to have some level of certainty. it goes back a week to mexico tariffs. when you have those curveballs, it is hard to figure things out. until it gets settled, whatever it is, and that is the thing with china.
