4:04 am
distrouppings china and globally based on the spread of the virus today and travel decisions and business closures. >> this really is a temporary issue. we're going to focus on this in a way that is true to our mission and values. >> our focus is meeting the demand for recess operators. in terms of our supply chan most of our key suppliers are far away from the center of this particular outbreak. we feel very good with where we are in the supply chain. globals about 15% of our revenue. >> as we think about the long-term growth opportunity in china, we remain optimistic. >> we are very carefully monitoring the situation. francine: joining us now from hong kong, our anchor rish awed
4:05 am
sal met. >> this is coming particularly from hong kong at possibly the worst time it could. on top of that, slowdown with some green shoots and recovery. perhaps they could be nipped in the bud if it were. n top of that, we have maccau. we're talking about here the possibility we can have more than two percentage points shaved off growth in china. this is what an economist has come up with suggest this could go beyond what we saw in sars which was a 2% decline in g.d.p. this is an economy that has evolved so much in that time frame since 2003. it is dampte beast. it is six or seven times the size it was then and it is based on ssts and there is a lot more interaction between people as a
4:06 am
result and that could mean the virus spreads quicker here as well. to give you an example of what is going on in maccau, this is the busiest time of the year, he chinese new year. twhak government do? they can institute triple r cuts shes lessen the amount the banks have to set aside in reserves. they can perform more open market operations. the thinking is that won't be enough. it is not just going to affect things on the margin here as well. francine: at least one chinese lunar new tended the year holiday beyond february 2. do we have any idea the containment efforts are working,
4:07 am
the they are working or not working? >> well, the death toll keeps going up. we have the number of people being infected. it does not reflect the true picture on the ground. we have something like 60,000 people also under observation. that gives you the scale of it. so we have had as you just mentioned several provinces in china extend their holiday. st have extended it in the epicenter where wuhan is. it is in lockdown with 15 million people restricted from travel here. they have extended their holiday to february 14. this comes as other containment efforts are being undertaken. they will cancel all bookings to china from united airlines and british air ways and we have ome carriers, cathya pacific

reducing capacity on certain routes into the mainland into march. that gives you to idea of the kind of hits this region could take. francine: thank you so much. .oining us from hong kong the markets really panic. a lot of companies trying do their bit so that the virus doesn't spread but concretely, what are the markets worried about? is it supply chains? airlines? all to have above and that it could skjei off so much growth and really slow down the economy? >> i think what the market is focusing on at the moment is china has evolved into a onsumption-driven economy. when you have the chinese new year, during the year, it is the busiest period from the spending
4:09 am
points of view. having something like this that puts consumers on a standstill is going to have an impact on the consumer, on consumption, on growth. this is something we're going to be looking at carefully. francine: this is for china. is there a concern this spreads to the rest of the world. >> there are some concerns. ultimately our view, this is going to be a temporary phenomenal. -- phenomenon. yes, we have seen -- if you have a selloff in asian markets that will likely impact the sent number in other marks as well. the yields are down about 35 basis points from where they were in december. our view is -- also there is the fact that it is acting at a time when we entered the year with valuations there were quite a few markets that were stretched.
4:10 am
francine: repricing. what exactly is priced into markets now? it is not risk scenario. the high in cred in yield space. at one point we reached 350 basis points which is very much the best possible case as far as you can get. now we're at about 400. we have seen some widening but we're not in panic mode as far as the markets are concerned and what we can see. francine: thank you very much. up next, will we see carney's final cut? he will chair his last ever policy meeting with the traders split on the prospect of a cut. and then carney's final press conscious at 12:30 p.m. here on bloomberg tv.
4:13 am
francine: economic finance policy. this is "bloomberg surveillance." i'm francine lacqua in london. >> the same prudent forecast this year for a small gain in profit and sales. the same strategy for 2019 allowing it to boost its outlook three times. they expect to keep fueling growth. and microsoft's quarterly sales are beating estimates by more than $1 billion. fueled by persistent demand for
4:14 am
customers seeking it to shift computing tasks to cloud-based systems. it rose 14%. it was 10th straight quarter of double digit sales growth. blowout earnings for tesla. the record revenue carrying the electric car maker to its fourth profit in the last six quarters. chief executive elon musk celebrating the new model of the crossover. that's your bloomberg business flash. francine: thank you so much. let's focus on the u.k. it is mark carney's final policy meeting as governor. they are split town the middle as to whether the bank will cut for the first time since 2016. they are more divided than they have ever been this close to a decision under mark carney. joining us is nejra.
4:15 am
does carney cover or does he not? >> that is the million dollar question. the market is divided. what a wild ride it has been in those money markets. we saw the bets about a 70% probability. debts have pulled back after we had some soft data. mainly a confident pim and optimism survey and survie overnight on sentiment as well. money markets are divided. in terms of economists, they seem to expect we're going to get a hold with a 6-3 vote. if we get a hold, what kind of dovish signals might get from mark carney and are the dissenting voices going build up rom 17 to 6-3?
4:16 am
those are the big questions that we're looking at as to how mark carney will message soft versus hard data. we're waiting to hear from the b.o.e. agents moving across the country gathering data from consume rs and companies. francine: thank you very much. we expect that decision at 12:30. mark carney's final press conference. i would like to point out, we almost made a bet whether they will cut or not. i will not take a split. this is what the market is pricing in. this is an extraordinary chart. 8% cut in december. then soars to 70%. then it is 50-50. is it the carney speech? is it the data? it is his last. >> there is an element of is
4:17 am
carney doing to do a draghi and leave with a cut or a meaningful end. what the market is looking at is the data. the u.k. data has been slowing, particularly on the inflation side. we are seeing inflation falling quite sharply in recent times. now obviously we are at 50-50 as far as today's meeting is concerned. if they don't go now, they should go based on data alone. if they don't go now, the market is going to continue pricing in the chance of a cut in the spring. which is what we have at the moment. as far as u.k. assets are concerned, we haven't really recovered all of the brexit premium that was built into u.k.
4:18 am
assets. there is room to go there. francine: there is talk about fiscal spending and money to the north. how does that change? >> it is something that should be in focus and easing focus for us. as far as the u.k. capital bond market is concerned, our view is a mildly cautious one. jurned under .5 of a percent. they have come a long way. if you do start sozz in r fiscal stimulus, that will lead to high yields on the back end of the curve. francine: when you look at the idea that it is good to cut now so it gives the successor of mark carney a bit more time. is there a danger that we're front running and basically using too many monetary policy tools? >> there is something that the market is looking at.
4:19 am
unlike for example, the fed, the bank of england doesn't that the luxury of having that much room to maneuver on the rates. will they want to use that now or wait longer until it is evident that they have to? it is up for grabs. it is something that we're looking at and the market is toing on. at's why we have a 50-50 outlook. francine: so you bet they will cut? >> what are we betting? coffee? let's go with they will cut. francine: what will it take for negative rates to be in the u.k.? >> negative rates are no longer something that is possible. you have them in europe for a long time. we would need a protractive period of very, very low inflation and stagnant growth. the inflation the u.k. has been
4:20 am
uite high because of sterling. we have seen a drop in inflation. would -- we shouldn't avoid thinking that may be. in the u.k. the threshold for negative rates is much higher than elsewhere. francine: thank you so much. our guest stays with us. on wall the close street that sent shares soaring. we'll discuss that next. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:24 am
♪ francine: coming from the doc: bank press conference. just speaking to the crowd. we did hear from the earnings and doc: bank's trading surge which was quite good. it has been overshadowed by the big writedowns. minutes ago he was saying he cease higher adjusted pretax profits for the investment bank but trading revenue would be up 31%. it still trails its peers. tesla's record revenue carried it to its fourth profit in the last six quarters. alex webb joins us now to
4:25 am
discuss this. first of all, tesla blowout. are we concerned about the valuation? >> yeah, it is really hitting the upper extremities of what people had expected. 12-month target price significantly below where it urrently is. my colleague in new york, looking at some of the discounted capital mods, the analysis, in order to justify the current share price, it would need an increase in earnings per share over the next nine years. people are not looking at those type of returns. as we have seen the shorts have improved time and again over the
4:26 am
past year and 18 months. francine: on facebook quickly. again, there is a lot of -- is 2020 the year where we're going to start questioning how any of these companies make money, how you value them? >> if you look at these two companies that are dependent on ads for their income, google about 85%. facebook 98% on ads. if you look at the regulatory overhang coming into play with them. ou see earnings fall from what they were two or three years ago down to below 25 now. apple is going above. ♪

4:35 am
surveillance." thank you for coming in. ferragamo charge of during the sars outbreak. how much of a nightmare is it for luxury companies? a lot of the demand cut comes from chinese consumers. >> i remember very well. it was 2003 and i was just talking with the person who was with me and we were walking into ifc more completely empty. the mostgned interesting contract of our lives. bigi think there is a very sense that even then it was limited to the south of china, where business was not very big, and of course hong kong. of chinese consumers around the world was very limited. on one side i hope we may have a
4:36 am
to get down tome 34 -- 3, 4 months. but definitely the size of the impact is going to be maximized -- thecollective chinese coincidence, with the new year, which is normally the booster, and in this case is not doing so. complicatede situation in china because everything has been stopped now. there is no -- francine: the fact that we are note online does necessarily make a difference because you need to pack things up and deliver. the first days we thought it could be a positive effect, but shipments are not
4:37 am
allowed in different regions and provinces, so it will create a further element of disruption in the near future. we also have to consider people not getting their salary because vacation, at home, on and i would say for the luxury business it is probably going to be impacting the first quarter of this year. remember that the market picks up very fast in the second quarter. it was going up in 2003 like 25, 20 6 -- ran cinco i do have a map that i would love to -- francine: i do have a map that shows where some of the factories -- how does the chinese shopper buy differently now than they did in 2003 at the height of sars? michele: i think they were still narrowin the very environment, limited number of
4:38 am
people had access. where now they are going all down the pipeline, and in fact probably the most experienced buyer in the luxury. and we try -- we tend to forget that 70% of the shopping in europe is related to tourism. and inside the tourists, chinese are number one. so you can see in florence, -- the this is impacting one thing positive is that most of the chinese will stay out for another couple of weeks. so we have people in australia, in europe, so i hope they keep spending. and i think probably this has been much better than in the past. it might be even shorter, hopefully. francine: we heard jay powell of the fed talking about this. do we have any models to look at
4:39 am
at how consumption changes? i want to get nicholas' thoughts on the fact that the luxury sector is pretty immune, dampening overall. but if you are in italy, what makes you stop going into the u.s. if you are buying toothpaste or a washing machine? dr. local consumption, the impact will be more from the >> local consumption, the impact will be more from shifting from one part to the other. the second-order impact comes from how are we going to get things that i want to sell from a to b, particularly when china which is a big money effect -- manufacturing hub anyway. short term, the impact will be felt in the data. we will look at q1 data in particular. it will be that short-lived, and we have seen in the sars case, there is actually
4:40 am
scope for a potential rebound. the authorities are there standing by, but other central banks. powell mentioned that. we will see with the boe does. supportl continue to demand globally. francine: is there anything chief executive can do to mitigate this in the luxury sector? i imagine with the u.s.-china trade war, some of the supply chains would have moved. luxury, china is not the manufacturing place, so this will not create any problem. what i think is important is now is to be able to focus on our markets, on other cities. ,hina has been such a old mine everybody -- such a gold mine everybody has been investing in china. i think this is an opportunity for singapore, from moscow, so
4:41 am
it will be important. and also in china china -- also --ide china, away from yo the cities away from wuhan. the cities on the west side, thegdu, those areas of world developing. so probably the companies that moved, you can open pop-up shops in the area in china, which are not impacted or less impacted. and i think the reaction will be extremely important. also managing inventory, managing people. the best companies have an emergency meeting every day to find a reaction. francine: thank you so much. we also have these great maps that help us figure out where the supply chains are and where it changes. we have these interactive maps.
4:42 am

compensation overall is one of the most important processes we run every year. that is for the whole company and also for the management board. we gave deep consideration to our own decisions personally and as a group and feel we arrived at the right compromise, if you like, between recognizing the cost oath for shareholders and employees of the significant -- both for shareholders and employees of the sick giving restructuring, -- of the significant restructuring, but also with a long-term interest of shareholders. we think we struck the right balance both within the social environment and also as responsible stewards of the company. >> walk me through how you get to this loss. $5.3 billion was the net number. pretax you lost 3.6 billion euros. it is restructuring cost. james: our restructuring cost is that the loss after tax and pretax is driven by restructuring costs, transformation effects, we call them. that is across a range of areas.
4:46 am
line, goodwillax impairments, softer impairments, restructuring charges. that is more or less in line with where we got in the market back in july when we announced the restructuring. we announced we wanted to refinance it from our own resources and demonstrated in the first two orders that we were able to do that. we increased our capital ratio to 13.6%. i see all of this as very much on track against the goals and targets that we sent out and we have hit every single target, every milestone of this restructuring. what i think is important is the message that the underlying business performance -- once you strip out all of that noise that is created by the restructuring, it is actually quite positive, showing stability in revenues, growth in pretax profit in the core bank. we are pleased with that result in the second half. >> are you on track or are you ahead of schedule?
4:47 am
i noted as ratio, you are getting a lot of the headcount reduction out-of-the-way sooner than you may have planned. does that provide a lot of upside for 2020? james: we are on track with every single metric or ahead. where i would say we are ahead is on the capital side, also deleveraging in the capital release unit there it as you say, personnel reductions have been a heavy moving pace. with this step off into 2020, that underscores the confidence that we have been communicating to the market in the progress we are making, in restructuring, in the decisions that we made strategically to realign, reappoint the business. but also in the confidence that we think we have brought back to the company with our employees come with clients, in the capital markets. we sat insecurities and markets but in our everyday business. and in our engagement with frontline client officers. francine: that was the deutsche bank ceo speaking with matt in
4:48 am
frankfurt. let's go back to michele norsa and andrea iannelli. you are focusing also on basically trying to buy assets for the italian foreign wealth fund. andrea: we have the mission to help midsize or small size companies -- to grow and become or international. we are normally taking minority stakes, up to 49%. that of course along with opportunities in italy, and italian entrepreneurs are a little slow if you compare them is a key i think now time to start boosting some of the top industries. francine: and the chief
4:49 am
executive in italy, you help chaperone. they look at this chart -- what does this tell us about the spread in italy? andrea: it tells us that the market has a sigh of relief after the regional elections, which entered a possibility of further instability again for another year coming up. the perception is that things will carry on in a more or less stable way from a government point of view. clearly the market always has a bit of a sense of deja vu of what happened in the last couple of years. there is something interesting going on involved. what we have seen in terms of italian assets over the last few months is that they have underperformed the rest of the market. particularly in fixed income. expect our recovery to be in

approach, and it is becoming compliance to look at the effects. it is becoming more and more known among the investment community that we need to make things even appear for investors to exactly identify and to put together all the information in a pragmatic way. we are doing the business report today. francine: what is the one thing that will make a big difference to esg investment? do we need a common language to know what we are talking about? yannick: common language is the first step, to make sure that we all online. but there are some differences depending on geographic perception, availability of information, and the key that could be made available. what we are trying to do is to across all market caps,
4:56 am
all regions, to make it easy to understand and to compile by investors, and both by progress, we need some transparency. investments are integrating those new assets. and i believe the sustainability is the ability to demonstrate the impact on performance, so it is becoming the norm. and if i can say, we don't really have any more question about why should i do esg, but rather how come and how to integrate? at this is why -- francine: thank you. we are going to leave it there. thank you for coming on bloomberg. ♪

deal in jeopardy. that is a whole other ballgame we could talk about. keep in mind, back with sars in the first and second quarter of 2003, gdp went from 11.1% growth down to 9.1% growth in the second quarter. it is two full percentage points off growth. and an economist at la mora 5, 6 monthsis goes like sars did, we could be looking at that kind of drop off or deceleration in chinese growth. francine: what are authorities doing to try and cushion this fallout because of the coronavirus on the economy? steve: obviously they need to contain the virus first and foremost, and that is what they are doing by quarantining tens of millions of people in other parts of china. but going beyond that, as far as cushioning the economic low, most economists we have spoken to hearsay there will probably be more -- we have spoken to

5:08 am
room becoming ever weaker rapidly? and are is a long run short run. the gdp has been going down gradually and china mainly because the population growth has been slowing. they have a one-child policy. the number of working age population is going down. relativelye aging rapidly. when you have fewer workers coming into the labor force, you will have less output and less productive -- unless productivity explodes. they have not really done reform to make that happen. then there is the short run piece related to the coronavirus, and that will take chinese gdp -- chinese gdp will take a hit in the short run. seeing the weakness in the brazilian real, and commodities, is that opportunistic for you, or do you just stand aside? patrick: in commodities we put on a position where we are not betting for oil to move higher.
5:09 am
we are betting it is not going to fall very much anymore. we think opec has the floor at 60 where they like it. you have seen oil prices fall, probably justified given that you have greater supply and demand and middle east tensions are not looking as high as they were a month ago. but those tensions always pop up. and selling the downside on oil is a very good play right now. western bonds -- u.s., u.k. bonds right now probably overbought. i think the economic slowdown in china is real. definitely you will see a big hit to retail sales. the knock on impact to the u.s. and european economy, i don't think it is as large as the bond market is placing in. francine: i know we are not virologists but we are all trying to be. 10 days -- what does this mean for world growth in the markets? patrick: i don't think it is going to mean much. for the asian markets, you will see a big hit to retail sales.

5:16 am
installations, one service sector inflation -- two discrete sectorons, one service and one outright good inflation? randall: the chart makes a really clear that they are taking two separate paths. we have seen the separation over the last few years as they go in different directions and i think they will continue to go in different directions. that is one of the reasons why chairman chat -- chairman powell brought that out because they are trying to study that. that may explain why we are having unusual inflation dynamics because of the separation. tom: we are having unusual inflation dynamics, but i have to set china virus and commodities down. that could all go away on a dime. are you seeing perdition goods pernicious goods inflation because of oversupply and because of a technological impulse? randall: i'm not sure i would say pernicious. tom: i am saying pernicious. randall: i understand.
5:17 am
it is following a different path and there are different factors affecting goods inflation. we are seeing a lot of competition internationally on that. for domestic labor. with domestic labor we are seeing less competition because that is internal rather than external. the unemployment rate is so low, you will see increases in costs versus increases in wages. there is more of an impact on services than on goods because labor is a much higher fraction of the cost of producing services. francine: patrick, where do you see the u.s. economy, inflation? patrick: i think the u.s. economy is driven by the u.s. consumer. growth, 1.8%rcent is coming from u.s. consumption. that is the line you want to look at if you are worried about recession. consumer confidence is high, so you need an genesis shock -- you need an exogenous shock.
5:18 am
access to money is essentially free right now, so something has to push up one of those factors for the u.s. economy to go over. francine: one of the chances that inflation is higher than we think? patrick: inflation always feels hires to consumers -- feels higher to consumers than statistics say. even though your commuter goes up in price that your computer goes up in price, it actually goes down, so it is deflationary. inflation is low, but it feels higher to the average man on the street. randall: i think that is right. if you ask people about price changes, they will tell you what prices have changed recently, so they do not think of it in terms of sort of like a carefully structured basket of all the goods and services that you are buying. they focus on things like gasoline prices went up. almost always you see consumers reporting higher inflation than the central banks report. it is important for central banks to take into account.
5:19 am
they speak about things in a different way than the average person speaks about them. rather than trying to change the way the average person thinks about them, the central banks should talk about things that should change the way they look at things francine: personally. here's a look at what you should be watching out today. the bank of england announces a rate decision at 12:00. mark carney casting his last vote as governor. then later, german inflation looks like it surges. we will get cpi data at 1:00 p.m. as secretary of state mike pompeo is in key avenue, his first visit to ukraine since congress opened impeachment proceedings. we will have more on all those stories next. this is bloomberg. ♪

5:25 am
would commit to a net profit in 2020, so it doesn't look like it is necessarily going to happen this year. that is going to be difficult for the bank because the populist concern here in germany about this lossmaking bank, especially as it pays millions of euros in bonuses to its executive board is getting worse and worse. matt, how much will they cut and do they risk losing good talent? how many job cuts are weak spec and from deutsche bank overall? overall, they are cutting a bit of their staff from 90,000. they announced that in july. they are ahead of schedule on that. plus, they managed to frontload the cost that is the good news for deutsche bank. the bad news is for employees they are cutting bonuses by about 20% across-the-board. of course, it is going to be different for you depending on how you personally performed. they are going to wait for the

annual raises that they give until april 1. typically they would have come out now, and then the executive board is going to give up its personal bonus performances. they are still going to take away half of their bonuses. they are talking about millions of euros if you divide it through each number of the executive board. francine: matt, thank you so much. a few miller, our bloomberg european anchor, joining us from frankfurt, where he just spoke to the deutsche bank chief financial officer. coming up on the virus impact, we will be talking with the eye chief executive officer on containing the virus. this is bloomberg. ♪

inflation and you have confidence after the election but some weak trailing figures. tom: i have zoomed in on the chart and up we go to higher yields, everything is great, everyone is happy. we roll over for two years. why do we come to this point and roll over? you need to see higher prices because the central banks are what drives to year yields and the central banks, in order to hike, will need to see inflation and some persistence of that inflation. unemployment, wage growth has not spiked higher. we would expect significantly higher wage growth. without wage growth, you don't get inflation and with technological improvements, that is a constant disinflationary
