>> good morning from london, i'm nejra cehic. this is bloomberg "daybreak: europe." climb on hope for a coronavirus vaccine as the moderna trial-- hits. intod trump orders and hong kong special status with the u.s. while finding china.tion to sanction
1:01 am
and goldman sachs reports today after jp morgan, citigroup and wells fargo set aside almost $28 billion for bad loans in the second quarter. it's 6:00 a.m. in london, home..m. from welcome back, nejra. i missed you. let's talk about the forecast for the third quarter, that's what everybody is focused on. third quarter net sales coming in at 3.6 billion and the estimate was for 3.8. third quarter net, the estimate for 3.8. an are looking at acquisition of berlin glass. , it's themargin
1:02 am
second quarter, 48.2. the guidance there, 48% on the margin. the estimate was for 48.1%. looking back, nejra. nejra: thanks, and it's interesting, on that acquisition you talked about, financial details not disclosed yet, that something maybe the market will wait for at some point. a final dividend in the second quarter, but it's been an interesting couple of days in markets. manus: it has. who do you put your faith and trust in? faith and trust in the person at the front of the bus. jamie dimon says we are just guessing. we are at the start of something, and it will come later. and morning if you leave this
1:03 am
call and you think the world is a good place, you're very mistaken. the numbers on those calls tell a very different story to that of kudlow, the white house, and some other figures. some see a turning point coming in the third quarter, away from the risk on-risk off we've had over much of the covid-19 crisis. in the meantime we've had mixed messages from the fed overnight. if you look to the markets, it all seems to be around the optimism around the vaccine. a lot of green on the screen in terms of u.s. and european futures after we saw some divergence yesterday with the u.s. closing higher and euro stoxx closing lower. some underperformers in hong kong. at what point does that become an opportunity? oneiving some powerful risk
1:04 am
in equities. the 10 year yield goes absolutely nowhere, in terms of the dollar receiving the commodity currency outperform, which speaks to risk on and dollar weakness. withsome of that to do indications around stockpiles. the big question to ask is whether if we do see any change in the output cut, where -- whether that will spark taper tantrum's in the euro. sake, just for clarity from asmlled guidance as better than the market had expected. we .8 in the third quarter, the 3.24. had penciled in that is a kernel of guidance. optimism in the markets, risk on-risk off. vaccine, all the patients produce antibodies in
1:05 am
the trials. some did report severe side effects. bringing theis on treatment to the market quickly. nejra: it comes as more records were set in that u.s. sunbelt with forfeit tallies in florida. amid the resurgence of infections, a solid -- solid picture of the economy calling on the central bank to pivot toward longer-term accommodations. to have you with us, along with those comments we had some saying potential for it to drop in the u.s.. what is going to start to drive the market in the third quarter, and in which direction? so the narrative in the
1:06 am
marketplace is the federal reserve's balance sheet is creating liquidity, which is not the case, actually. the fed balance sheet right now is falling and the federal reserve treasury is also warning capital. so essentially retirement of cash from the marketplace. that narrative, whether it's right or wrong, is what drives the market. every 23 people -- is being played out as the cure of the just disease, but for us, it's pretty clear that ultimately the stimulus will run out. we have left the marketplace in a situation where we have no price discovery. because every single asset price in the marketplace is either directly governed by the support that comes from either physical or monetary policy, and of
1:07 am
course that has an end date on likely q3. thes: so that's the risk, fiscal cliff. let me ask you, the s&p 500 for we'vear, the 45% rally had is down 1%. givent correctly priced, jp morgan saying 10% unemployment this year and 7% next year? and $28 billion of loan losses. something is wrong. wrong, andthing is it is the narrative which is that the worse the situation gets economically, the more stimulus we will see on fiscal and monetary policy. that's not right, because at the end of the day, society and companies are driven by the amount of profit they can generate. if you look at the dividend,
1:08 am
they are down significantly. if you look at the guidance in q3 it will also be down. it doesn't really matter because the market wants to believe that a cure is imminent and that we have it under control. of course this is the road to ruin, but nevertheless is the case when you discount the interest rate, and you know this better than me, when you discounted zero, you get infinity valuation. so you can put the s&p 500 or the nasdaq in any number you want because when you operate with a zero interest rate, you're really operating with infinity. should we be paying more attention to the level of the vix and the bearish signal right now? steen: absolutely. you know from the peace that we put out this week that we see 22 as a critical level. every time we've been above 22, we've seen a recession or very
1:09 am
forward-looking negative performance of the equity market. what is happening right now is that what is really driving it is the yield curve. the yield curve correlates highly with the overall estimate of the economy and the velocity of the economy. as we seen a slight steepening since the middle of 2019 in the yield curve, it's not only indicating an increase of a nominal growth and the economy but also increasing the likelihood that we see volatility. volatility remains an asset class that you need to be long. we are suggesting right now that that replace all the government long income with a volatility play, exactly for the reason that the volatility base remains stubbornly bid throughout the massive reality we've seen based on support from fiscal and monetary policy. let's get to the first

manus: this is bloomberg "daybreak: europe." the other major driver this week will be the european story. german chancellor angela merkel said she's prepared to compromise in talks with the e.u. recovery fund this weekend poochie speaking to reporters after meeting with the spanish prime minister heard leaders -- who urged leaders to come together. saying july must be the month of decisions. this friday the e.u. leaders gather in brussels for discussing reviving the economy. morning, host this there's a narrative that if the deal goes through on friday that
1:22 am
are recovery coming out of into fromyour could be stronger an earnings point of view on equities. do you believe that? the $750tingent on billion stimulus plan? think the plan itself would do significant change what is already in place, if you look at the future of the equity it'sts and where the -- going to come from green transformation, especially since europe is way ahead of the rest , with e.u. planning to support this kind of transition. if you look at the physical spend that europe has relative to the u.s. right now, the u.s. is outspending europe in terms of negative deficits. on top of that, the composition of the european stock indices
1:23 am
utilitiesh care and will do quite well. analysts like me have been saying this for years and years, that europe should finally outperform. i think we'll find this out because u.s. is extremely expensive, especially if you look at the technology sector, but also in terms of leading the world in the next period. i think we will see in outperformance of european equities privet we are raiding them over u.s. equities right now. investorsencouraging to be overweight european equities. at the same time you say when germany joins the ranks of that spending, you know that free markets have died. what does that mean for asset allocation? means first off, it germany will be a huge stimulus for the rest of europe. the total is in the neighborhood of 38% of gdp this year. this coming from a country
1:24 am
that's been the most austere since the introduction of the euro. the 180 degree turn we've seen by angela merkel's government is unprecedented in european history. that will slowly run into the europe in terms of economic activity and support for programs like this. don't forget the conversation that will be had this week, germany being -- saying no thank you, were not going to do this. now all of a sudden they've incorporated it into the strategy of being seen as part of the solution. to overall,ve boost it's really a big change in european policies that germany is in such a quagmire in terms of the economic outlook, it's the opposite of what they've
1:25 am
done since 1999. manus: it's a heck of a change from the narrative we had [indiscernible] and the german narrative then was very different. as we get into the third quarter, new themes emerge from global markets, beyond the gyrations we've had. narrative,w european what does it do to the euro? that we cannk expect there will be an extension of support for the marketplace. i don't think the government knows any better. they have this game of maintaining jobs instead of creating jobs. what i mean by that is if you want to create jobs, you have to do research and people, in
1:26 am
education, and things that actually have productivity built into it. instead were living under this moment of being liquid insolvent, which is the japanese market. i find it pretty embarrassing that we continue to do all the mistakes that japan has done, but nevertheless, that is the case. we're in a very defensive mode that will make it dared -- very difficult for customers to have turned over the next 10 years. they will guide us to lower interest rates and pretend that we can be liquid and solvent. you do point out that history suggest there's is 33% probability that the international equity investor will experience negative real rate return over the next 10 years. ,hat still quite a bit better that you have positive real return.
1:27 am
should be searching for an alternative to equities? but youot necessarily, need to be more judgmental on what you do. the search we have seen based on the narrative that the fed balance sheet is good need to change to one which is which companies are going to survive? which one has built-in productivity? sector whichnology is overlapped by business. people seem to think that technology equals productivity. amazon is faster but it's more renovation than innovation. to some extent, they're paying high multiples for something that trades at a high freak cash flow but low debt make sense come but it's not productivity. i think that's where the focus needs to be. nejra: thank you so much for being with us today. kongg up, trump ends hong

1:36 am
provisions, including some that would effectively treat hong kong the same as the men and. -- as the mainland. u.s.uspension of the extradition agreement with hong kong, revoking license exceptions for certain exports, and even terminating the fulbright scholar exchange program. so a number of things, but neither trump or his administration have offered specifics about how it's going to affect major sectors here like the financial industry. also a lot of people wondering what the material impacts will be. what does it mean for the city itself? >> that's the big question here. the white house has not specified which chinese officials might be sanctioned. it still adding new uncertainty for businesses here after a very long year, and it's raising some pretty steep questions about the
1:37 am
city's future as a global financial hub and whether it is sustainable. and the questions that have been swirling over the last couple of weeks after china imposed its sweeping national security law hibi -- here. with entities and individuals the u.s. decides our primary offenders, when it comes to undermining the city's autonomy. after that, the treasury -- including barring top executives from returning to the u.s.. so they will have a lot of questions. it's good to keep in mind that trump has threatened action since that security law was enacted here. it could have us is that -- substantial impact on an economy that's been battered by protests and now the virus restrictions that have just come back into effect. nejra: we've heard from china among bowing to take strong countermeasures.
1:38 am
what exactly have we learned in terms of the response from chinese and hong kong officials? >> we are expecting more reaction from the leaders today, they have already bowed strong countermeasures and just sanctioned u.s. officials over the measure but did not elaborate. they urged the u.s. to correct its wrongdoing and stop interfering in the city, which is something they have urged many times. this comes after china over the last couple of days sanction for u.s. officials including marco rubio and also lockheed martin. the hong kong government has not said anything publicly that we have seen, but a pro establishment lawmaker pushed back and said the measures would drive hong kong to rely more on mainland china for support. so we're waiting for more reaction later today. much, karen, thank you so

1:41 am
some of the problems we've been dealing with over the last couple of years and in part because banking is changing. we will have fewer branches but we will still have many thousands of branches. we will have few -- fewer branches in the future. we have more activity happening digitally from front to back, meaning how our customers interact with us and how we deliver capabilities in a more tech driven way. all those things will lead over time to a smaller headcount. we have probably 270,000 people and other banks of our size operated higher revenue levels but from a substantially smaller footprint. that will happen over the course of the next few years. curious how much is underlying fundamentals versus

the fed that govern how the banks, no more than the trailing four quarters average of profitability. between these allowance bills, we had a big legal settlement a couple of quarters ago. our trailing four quarters of profitability is relatively low. so we have struck a dividend proposal that is beneath that so there is little risk of it going down from there. the economy could's ego orszag in a way where -- could zig or zag. the dividend approach really doesn't assume, as we do today, that we have ample capital. so it really isn't as much of a capital issue as it is an earnings issue. we close quarter with an increase capital level in percentage terms, the streaming
1:45 am
capital ratio for big banks. that'suirement is 9%, about 23 billion dollars worth of extra capital on top of the regulatory requirement. so dividends in particular are more about earnings for bigger banks and less about capital sufficiency. between these big allowance bills and relatively large cushion that has built up since the last crisis, the doesn't seem to be a lot of concern or confusion over levels of capitalization. the wells fargo aftereaking to bloomberg the first quarterly results since 2008. -- the worst since 2008. will discuss the outlook for crude. this is ♪ bloomberg.

coinciding with the man recovery starting to stall. we've seen a few pullbacks included last week and again yesterday. we've seen state governors some things but there is a question mark on demand recovery in the u.s. still surging in parts of africa, latin america, but there is a danger that the extra supply in the market will coincide causing the recovery market to flatten.
