- jesus g suarez. i did it and it's here. - [speaker off camera] yeah! ♪ - [narrator] next term starts soon. visit snhu.edu. >> we have still a economy in the u.s. which is not landing. it is checking around central bank's ability to control inflation. it is much less direct than might have been thought or hoped. >> inflation has peaked, it is not coming down. that is not the story. >> there are risks that are out there. >> there are certainly possibilities further stress could be triggered at some point. >> this is bloomberg surveillance live from the imf
6:01 am
meetings in washington, d.c. jonathan: live from the nation's capital for our audience nationwide, this is bloomberg surveillance on tv and radio alongside tom keene and lisa abramowicz. i am jonathan ferro. our last day of coverage at the imf spring meetings in washington, d.c. our attention shifts to the bank earnings. stack lineup for you, a flavor of guests coming up. it begins with rbcs gerard cassidy. then, the european commission. looking forward to that conversation on the federal reserve and gloomier forecasts coming out of the imf. we have to start with the banks. wells fargo, jp morgan, we have been waiting. we have seen the data. payrolls and cpi. now, it is about the consequences of the banking shock of the last month.
6:02 am
tom: i think bankers will be watching imf meetings and debris that comes out of these meetings. this is on the jamie dimon's talk about before, macro credential, the summation of risks. john lipsky identified with this years ago, summing up the risks and what does it mean for your global banking business. these are the kind of banks we are going to hear from in the next 48 hours. jonathan: was it truly the port of the storm after the end of q1 we saw weeks ago? lisa: there are two groups of watching this. economists saying, how big is the banking crisis, and the investors saying, can we start buying it? we have those two poles with jp morgan probably not giving the answer because they are the big bank the port and the storm and not out -- susceptible to the outflow and asset classes as some of the smaller regional banks. tom: maybe somebody in their
6:03 am
shop will look at the screen and go, it is not over. i need a mic. jonathan: the whispering doesn't work? lisa: it is not over. there is a serious decline in profitability. is it valid given how much cash they have and given how much people are demanding things? tom: this is a third rail for me, the big banks are minting money even when they have a serious decline in this come about or the other. it -- they do not want to tell this story of how much they are making and how much more they are making now versus 2019 or dare i say even pre-pandemic. jonathan: that is why the data coming up later is going to be fascinating. we got a number from bank of america in the midst of stuff going on the last several weeks. let's try and get a number from jp morgan. look at the stock prices.
6:04 am
since svb went under, s&p 500 is up. lisa, to your point, i think that captures not just the crisis in q1, but beyond that, the profit challenge people expect and further down the road from here. lisa: the delineation between big banks minting money and smaller banks unchallenged on several sites, do you see that divide get bigger? do we get answers to that today? all clear for some of the regional banks? jonathan: i am going to rip black crock -- black rock across the screen. first quarter net inflows 110 -- stop up a little bit. lisa, you go through the numbers. stock price up 5.2%. tom: [laughter] do they have an inflation forecast here? jonathan: do you think the ceo might offer that? lisa: when i am looking at is
6:05 am
interesting. you saw fixed income net inflows at 9 billion. even at fixed income, you saw that increase. earnings, $7.93 versus the estimate. pretty positive. my question is, the mix of active versus passive that has been a good question for that passive. long-term inflows, this is the interesting thing. our asset managers coming back particular early to fixed income but to stocks of $102.7 billion estimated $84 billion? shocking in terms of outperformance. tom: let's get to our guest, the debt work out of the sale them troubled banks. i believe the name blackrock is involved. two leases point, is that -- to lisa's point, is that lucrative? jonathan: let's start off with what you are expecting from jp
6:06 am
morgan, city, wells fargo later this morning. >> we've got to say what it -- when it comes to jp morgan, we are looking for the main thing there will be how many deposits did they gain, what is the cost, what is the provisions? the same for wells fargo and citi. wells fargo, the exposure in the market, a banker on wall street is what that looks like. for strategists, investors, traders today is to get the forward view from these banks relative to where they stand today in the aftermath of what we saw from his regionals. looking ahead. tom: you look like a genius. you have been participating in this bull market. you extended your timeline and the timeline is now. when the bears capitulate, a, have a capitulated yet, and if
6:07 am
so, what does it do to the market when the bears capitulate? >> i think you're putting me on the spot. one thing we have noticed is the bears appeared of late to be speaking out of both sides of their mouth. they saw this rally would have predicted more trouble ahead. i think there is never a time of uncertainty in the markets. it looks now like we are certainly on the mend. the market is telling us very much that improvements remain to be confirmed. they appear to be on the horizon. the fed has so far since it pivoted has been on the right track and very fortunately, the consumer, the business remain showing signs of resilience. we think that is what is driving the market. also, i think -- training is fear and greed. when it comes to intermediate
6:08 am
and long-term investment, there is almost -- there is always a fear of element and grade. we think that is what the market is reflecting. tom: the ferro building. it has a ring to it. jonathan: what would be inside it? lisa: absolutely nothing. jonathan: absolutely nothing? lisa: you would have well appointed furniture. very sparsely arranged. jonathan: so, a furniture store. lisa: [laughter] let's move on. i want to talk about banks, not necessarily furniture stores. you have been optimistic. how optimistic are you to load the boat with bank stocks right now, the kbw index is down 25% in march alone. it seems investors are saying, can we buy, is this the all clear? >> it does appear there has been
6:09 am
some kind of flow going back into those areas. our view is, when it comes to our main exposure to financials, it is within the s&p 500, the big banks, the best of the lot. we have reduced our waiting on the financials sector. we brought it down my recollections from 10.8 from 12.8, the benchmark waiting in financials. near-term volatility and opportunities elsewhere within the sectors looked better to be realized near-term. lisa: what bank would start to increase her allocation two stocks, not just the big ones, but smaller ones? >> i am saying a little more distance into the future, moving into the future and beginning to see there likely might not be more shoes to fall. we have to admit both the
6:10 am
comments over the course of the last few days from jamie dimon and warren buffett related to the potential -- not looking for any kind of disaster, but more choppy water. near-term, we would have to think, we will stay where we are. about 200 basis points light against the benchmark rate of financials. looking to add again. at the end of the day, the world runs on credit. as we move towards this new normal with the end of free money, we think it is a healthier environment we are moving towards where it will be less prone -- it will be more prone to looking at fundamentals rather than wild leverage place. jonathan: that is a constructive view. great to catch up with you. on a day where we get a ton of bank earnings. we will go for them for you. citi, wells fargo, jp morgan possibly later this hour.
6:11 am
i am looking forward to getting this numbers. we have seen signs of stabilization across several indicators. we have seen that in the bond market. to year, we have had wide ranges this week about 15 basis points. 15 basis points on a two year compared to the last several weeks is nothing. lisa: there is a stability in rates giving people confidence perhaps the ability to access what an investment might be worth. we saw yesterday, 4:30 p.m. eastern, there was stabilization, a decrease in some term loans banks had been taken out. to your point, it does seem things like -- it does seem like things have calmed down. tom: they are going to do everything they can to not show their dominance today. lisa: good luck with that. [laughter] tom: it is like at the imf. have you heard anyone at the imf mention china? i am waiting for the first imf
6:12 am
interview where someone says the word china. it is like -- there are these signaling's of what is not said. today, they are not going to say --\ jonathan: the focus this morning is on financial stability. i will say this about the banking events of the year so far, do you consider it an event? a one-off event or the beginning of a process, the start of something? i think there's a lot of people that are drawing a conclusion, suggesting this is the beginning of a process, this is going to take time. the next stop is the data we get from the officer opinions survey. i imagine we will get a flavor of that from the federal reserve when they meet may 3. lisa: which is probably a reason people are more focused on deposits than anything else. the more they keep going out, the more lending will continue to be constrained. jonathan: next later from the

>> the world economy has proven
6:17 am
remarkably resilient. it is yet to overcome the combination of weak growth and sticky inflation. we project global growth to slow down to 2.8% in 2023. >> the imf paints a gloomy picture for the global economy. are you feeling gloomy? >> i am optimistic and always believe in the ability to make progress. the bigger picture is even with the changes they have made in growth forecasts, they are still forecasting growth for the euro area and the european union. jonathan: that was the imf managing director making comments about the outlook, very gloomy stuff. in response was the euro group president. this has been a clear thing over the week so far at the imf spring meetings. the imf has said gloomy stuff, the -- have pushed back. we have seen that from the
6:18 am
treasury secretary janet yellen earlier this week. there has been tension, the imf saying one thing and repeatedly, politicians saying something else. lisa: from the treasury perspective, they thought the imf was influenced by their conversations weeks ago at the height of the banking crisis. they feel it is colored to that perspective and not reflecting strength they are currently seeing in the data. that said, there is perhaps an over dismissive and is by some politicians about ongoing concerns people have that will be represented in today's earnings. jonathan: that is the diplomatic way of putting it. lisa: tom: i try. tom:you prefer the undiplomatic way. what is interesting to me, they both have obviously different mandates. what is interesting, it is different mandates coming out of some big we have never
6:19 am
experienced, a natural disaster, the pandemic. what i would suggest we have learned here and will learn today at these meetings is, the pandemic is not over. the stream of the pandemic through year is bouncing around, the political view and the economic view, as well. lisa: i do not think that was not diplomatic. people are basically saying, fine. it is ok to have an issue with the fact this was not colored right. there is no evidence of credit crisis or credit withdrawals whatsoever after what happened with silicon valley bank. pretty much everyone is saying -- jonathan: sounds great on bloomberg radio, just banging the table. keep it up. it is nice. tom: coming up, this is a joy for us. we speak to someone for a long hour team, into karen has held down the fort.
6:20 am
he joins us now in his new deed -- new duties in washington as our global economics reporter. eight thrilling to see you -- thrilling to see you. your article today on fragmentation and resilience, give us the hong kong update. what is the state? >> it is in a better space than it was. the or port -- the airport has reopen. a lot of restrictions on the ground have been lifted. there is something of a shadow hanging over hong kong. it has not recovered to the financial hub. it has a way to go. jonathan: how difficult was it to cover things from hong kong the past several years? enda: it was difficult. while you were there, you could travel across the region. that is what we always did. suddenly, we were told nobody is going anywhere. nobody could go anywhere for
6:21 am
three years. jonathan: china reopening this year, that was a conversation at the start of the year. supposedly, that was breathing life into a more optimistic view when the global economy. we haven't heard much optimism at the imf headquarters. why is that? enda: china is contributing to some better news. yesterday, india and china will drive half of global growth this year. the bigger picture is one of long worries. some are talking about -- 2008, things were quiet, some people are warning maybe we are in that quiet period. six months from now, higher interest rates will cause pain for the global economy. lisa: weren't people worried about the potential for a quite crunch, having to choose sides with respect to the polls around china and the polls around the u.s., europe and the heiress --
6:22 am
the u.s. and europe separately and what that means politically? enda: this global idea of fragmentation has been a strong theme. i have been surprised it is much stronger than expected. you've got this conversation about which nations get to get supply chains in order to get ready for the next pandemic or conflict. poor nations are saying, fragmentation is going to be bad. there is realigning going on in front of our eyes. lisa: do we have a sense of where the imf's priority is in respect to whether to wreck we askeddemands? in this limbo between defaulting or not, do we have a sense of how heart of a line the imf is willing to strike at fear of perhaps alienating china? enda: a delicate dance going on. beijing made comets overnight making it clear multilateral
6:23 am
lenders need to be clear. they are not going to be in the mix. china making the point -- that is one of the key talking points. tom: in one of your articles this morning, we do not have any china's anymore. you know the run rates of gdp, what kind of run rate is in your head for china forward? is it a 3% gloom, do they get back to the new normal 5%, 6%? can shanghai do better? enda: people are saying 5% this year is possible. slower growth on a much bigger base, much bigger economic ace in china was 10 years ago. anybody looking to china for the global years of double digit or higher growth is gone. jonathan: you mentioned the tension between wealthier nations and former -- poorer
6:24 am
nations. there is tension between rich nations, rich blocks, europe, the united states. -- joined us earlier this week, he was warning about where this could ultimately had. is that a concern you share? enda: it is another subplot going on here. you mentioned the rivalry, the u.s. inflation reduction act is causing tension among key trading partners, especially eurozone members. there is tension. it is a new era for indus policy. that is a key issue. jonathan: have we given up on free trading capital? enda: there is certainly rethinking going on. if you zoomed in, you would say -- 10 years ago. jonathan: great to see you. what a situation. i think earlier this week said
6:25 am
there is no big theme this week, just 10 big different narratives people are trying to push simultaneously. tom: there is narratives based on many theories. it does back to -- some of this is original, some of it is in the textbooks. people are flying theoretically blind. it is not just about the back and forth. it is about the foundational misunderstandings out there right now. jonathan: enda is highlighting the big risk, the idea you have the banking shot the last month. you do not see spillover immediately, start to sound the all clear. there is a real risk involved, not because i believe this is going to get worse. am not making a judgment. i think it is too soon to make any judgment at all. lisa: i think what is highlighted here, john lipsky was talking about this, the lack of unified response to a potential credit crisis. in 2008, everyone was focused on
6:26 am
trying to shore up the global financial system. right now, whose rules are we playing by? jonathan: switzerland's. lisa: good luck with that. no offense to switzerland. is that the existential angst? are we all following the same rules or are we all in deep competition? jonathan a big morning here in washington, d.c. the tension is looking elsewhere. this morning, we are focused on banks. we will look ahead to jp morgan, wells fargo and citi. jp morgan should come later this hour. s&p 500 equity futures a little softer. lines down more than .1%. live from the nation's capital, this is bloomberg. ♪

jonathan: waiting for numbers from jp morgan, citi, wells fargo. those earnings from many first quarter financial industry, those earnings dropping over the next 90 minutes. equity markets shaping up as follows. equity futures negative .2% on the s&p 500. on the nasdaq, down .3%. in the bond market for once, a tight trading range. a trading range of about 15 basis points on the week on a two year, 3.95. a standout for the price action of the week so far is in the fx
6:31 am
market. dollar weakness, euro strength. euro-dollar short of 1.11. intraday high and intra-date high. dollar index trading with a 100 handle. the dollar index 100, 88. tom: we have printed a 99 handle, we have come down to the 100 level. is it a grind? i'm not there. it is not technically a grind, a beaker dollar. it is certainly story driven. you've got to see what the news flow is to see if maybe we'get this dollar breakdown many of you have looked for. jonathan: in early february off the back of a ecb conference from president lagarde, that is where the debate is. the rate differential side of things. the ecb is basically
6:32 am
communicating there is more to do. i will say there has been a shift in the ecb, officials we have heard from. language talking up 25 perhaps instead of 50 into the unknown. tom: i would suggest as we have seen central bankers parade around here, jerome and the dot plots. lagarde is focused on europe. i think she is less focused on the imf chitchat and much more focused on the mystery and original european experiment. jonathan: for lagarde and other european officials, this is not the europe they fearcenario. to sit here and hardly be talking about the european energy crisis. we have been here for most of this morning. you talked about not mentioning china. how many conversations have you had about european conversation this week?
6:33 am
zero? lisa: basically, they've got a hail mary pass. china reopened earlier. we saw from the homies results chinese consumers are buying and buying in luxury. is this a european strength story? i would argue it is not. i would argue the past couple of sessions, it is a dollar weakness story. it comes at the concerns the credit crunch is going to disproportionally -- tech heavy sectors are not going to lead the same kind of way in the u.s. tom: i'm going to rely on our fx experts. with the former italian prime minister now holding -- what is so important about what he said, i thought he was going to throw my -- his coffee mug at me. this is a sensitive issue for the europeans.
6:34 am
is this a new europe? is this a back story not addressed? jonathan: what a run some of those names have had. lisa: did you see the year over year increase in profits? double digits, incredible. jonathan: asia, europe, flying over to europe to do spending on luxury items. it is better. tom: let's go to someone who is aware of that, sonali bassett -- basik. wells fargo for our international audience and for our domestic audience, this is the idea these banks are different. what will be the signal from wells fargo that you will want to see? sonali: the deposit number will be interesting. we know in this crunch, we have seen among the regional banking system, there has been a flight to quality. jp morgan deposit number will be interesting, this is a number
6:35 am
that has been decreasing quarter over quarter the last few quarters. the last time he saw an increase for j.p. morgan was into the first quarter of 2022. four wells fargo, did they get the same love jp morgan may have gotten when customers pulled the deposits from the likes of silicon valley bank? tom: what is your guess on that? what is your guesstimate? is wells fargo part of the love boat of bricks -- big banks seeing gazillions? sonali: it is hard to say. wells fargo has been a weaker bank than other large banks we have seen in the united states. silicon valley bank as well as first republic, a lot of these work well for her customers that tend two with likes of morgan stanley, goldman sachs were jp morgan. they have not have seen the same love, especially with movement away from posits into money markets. tom: sonali to help us with the
6:36 am
banks, always helping us with banks as your art cassidy --gerard cassidy, what is the first thing you will look at from fortress diamond this morning? >> the first thing we are going to look at, what is going on with net interest income and net interest margin? we will be looking at deposits, but it is going to be difficult to figure out until we start to hear commentary from the bank. as you know as the biggest bank in the country, they are front and center with qualitative tightening, deposits are coming out of the banking system which qt was intended to do. though they may have received benefits from the silicon valley bank deposits, which they did, that might be offset by qt taking deposits away from them and their peers. net interest margin, net interest revenue and deposits and going to the capital market business.
6:37 am
jonathan: i want to pick up on a bank like wells fargo. let's build on that. wells fargo essentially had its growth cap. i wonder if having your growth cap is a good thing, given what we have seen the past couple of years. >> you make a good point. that is one of the reasons wells may not have seen much in deposit inflows. the growth is capped on the deposit side. they have done a good job in remixing their deposits to the consumer away from the wholesale. as you pointed out with growth being capped, should we get into a credit cycle, they should benefit more than maybe some of its peers because of the cap on growth. lisa: we are getting in about 15 minutes or less, jp morgan earnings, pnc financial. which are you more interested in given the focus on regional banks? >> i think the pnc number might
6:38 am
be more important because it will give us a read into other regional banks. they are a large regional bank. as you know, every friday afternoon, we receive the deposit and loan data for the industry from the federal reserve. the top 25 banks, pnc is part of that, the large banks as you saw an increase in deposits the week of the silicon valley failure the week after. there deposit numbers are going to be interesting, along with the margin, as well as a net interest revenue. last year, that was a tremendous driver of earnings for the industry. we expected it to slow down this year. it may be slowing a bit faster than expected before the silicon valley issue. lisa: if you look at and economists were, they are focused on credit crunch, the potential implications for the economy. stock traders are going to say, can we start buying stocks again, can we start buying banks
6:39 am
considering how much they have sold off? what are you looking for to determine whether this is going to be a story around optimism of stocks that have been beaten up and devalued versus a broader, economic, slow malaise that is going to take months to carry out? >> you put your thumb right on it. when you take a look at the stock action since the silicon valley and signature bank failures, the banks have suffered dearly as a group. that deposit fight is over in our opinion. the factors for driving stock prices down should not be as much of an issue. pivoting to what you just talked about, the outlook through the economy is where it becomes more question will. we have received questions now everyday about commercial real estate and the impact it could have on the banking system should we go into some downturn. i think the outlook from jamie dimon and jp morgan, as well as other banks, will be important on the economic outlook more so than on the deposit flight
6:40 am
issue. jonathan: the federal serve struggle to change its outlook over the last couple of weeks. why would the c-suite, a bank like jp morgan be any different? >> i think they've got a better pulls on the economy, especialls enormous input from many different places. jp morgan, citigroup, all the banks reporting today, they are on the frontline. they see it everyday in their customers behavior. they will have a better feel for what is going on. i think that will give us a real-time feel. i think we are going to see that, yes, things are slowing down. i think the stocks have over discounted it. we expect these numbers today to be decent numbers, maybe even good numbers. the stocks hopefully will rally on this news. jonathan: thanks for being this. i know you are going to stay close and break down some of these numbers when they drop. to go through the morning, this
6:41 am
is what the lineup looks like. -- of pimco, -- of the european commission, joining us around this table together with eric nelson of unicredit. the tension going into the market open firmly on the bank earnings through the next 60 minutes or so, we hear from jp morgan, citi, and wells fargo. tom: really rich and really different. i've got to admit as mr. cassidy alluded to, i focused on jp morgan just because of the scope and scale. i know they have a projection into europe that i think gives them a knowledge base the other american banks do not have. jonathan: financial institutions, some of which an audience outside of america might not have heard of before. we start to get a flavor for regionals later this morning. lisa: the fact gerard cassidy said pnc will give us insight into regional banks that hold the question about the fate of
6:42 am
lending in commercial real estate market and some of the smaller consumer lending areas is incredibly important here and i believe we are getting those pnc numbers right now. tom: one of the questions is simply, do they speed up or sped up during the pandemic? is it a new time of evolution for them? jonathan: first quarter revenue pnc financial, the estimate $5.61 billion. share back activity expected to be reduced in the second quarter. we build on those headlines in a moment. we will get you the jp morgan results when they come. live from washington, this is bloomberg. ♪ lisa: keeping you up-to-date with news from around the world with the first word. u.s. pressing the need for allies to coordinate against economic coercion. not just military threats. this as japan prepares to host top diplomats among heightened

6:47 am
the sources of fragility are there. there will be problems going forward. the question is as you pointed out earlier, how does this play out in terms of credit crunch, which is coming? jonathan: the sources of fragility are there. a fantastic exchange with the professor at the university of chicago and former imf chief economist. we had numbers from pnc moments ago. wells fargo dropping now. waiting for jp morgan. sonali, your job to run through it. sonali: wells fargo trading below its book value. you are having them this quarter meet on estimates when you look at average loans, net interest income, they are above estimates. efficiency is in line, better than estimates. mortgage banking a little above estimates. looking a little clean on wells fargo in a quarter where we have had selloffs among banks weighted towards the consumer. at pnc, you are watching
6:48 am
deposits better than estimates a little bit. a lot of the pain expected is not as bad as was initially thought. tom: what i noticed in the verbiage from pnc and maybe from others is the dreaded word, stable. everybody is stable. it is stable friday on bank earnings. define what stable means to this set of banks. sonali: we are skating on ice in some ways. we are looking at expectations for some of these makes. where looking at worries underneath the financial system. stable means, you saw in the wording john had used earlier, this idea of reduced buybacks. you are trying to watch banks get through potential storms. the deposit number is a big deal for pnc. when we look at the part gerard cassidy was bringing up before, profitability is becoming under pressure for a lot of these firms. have we reached peak net interest margins as we are
6:49 am
watching more pressure on the lending book start to accrue? that is the case for both's that have reported so far. they are lower those net interest margins than a quarter before. lisa: can you help us work through these results and what to keep an eye out for? pnc shares up almost 4% right now in premarket trading. what does it mean when we hear these banks borrowed more from emergency rescue efforts as pnc did? sonali: what has had a huge summit -- huge stigma for a long time, it is not seen as bad as it may have been seen as in the past because we know the banking system at large is trying to get through this storm together. we are seeing more banks borrow from the fed. as you saw before the data suggests, that is starting to cool down. when you see numbers like this, the deposit flows being stable as you say, maybe some of that pressure is starting to ease.

this is a pittsburgh-based bank, not facing the same california issues we have seen in that system. tom: you are the only one i know who read jamie dimon's letter cover to cover. we will look for you on the jp morgan earnings. gerard cassidy still with us. the heart and soul of this is the distance between these five banks, the super regionals, the 4000 other banks. where are we in three years, you are sitting with an institutional investor that is looking at combinations and transactions. where is that 4000 number in three years? gerard: i think the simple answer is, it is obviously lower when you and i started out in the 1980's. we had over 18,000 banks in this country. we are now down to about 4600. in three years, could we see another 300 or 500 the acquired? yes. the hard part today is the
6:51 am
marks. in purchase accounting, you have to mark the balance sheets to market. because of the interest rate environment, the interest rate box are an obstacle to get deals done. once that comes down, i see any activity picking up in 2024 and 2025. in a three year time period, it wouldn't surprise me 300 or 400 banks are consolidated. tom: jp morgan, chase cannot buy out some of those banks. think they are precluded to that. jonathan: getting results from jp morgan now. what does that tell? sonali: i am not supposed to do this. the fact they have been so heavily on fixed income is significant for jp morgan. investment banks have been faring better in training then
6:52 am
you have seen the rest of the banking system hold up. i want to hang onto that. i want to take a look. when you look at the deposit number over at jp morgan, it is in line with expectations. they are not seeing this massive jump or anything like that. we have been talking about the secular decline in regard to interest rates and the decline in deposit relative to the rise in interest rates and that movement of money market funds. it is not like jp morgan is breaking in deposits. those deposit rates have been low at jp morgan. i would say something interesting about jp morgan is, when you look at the total loan number, it is a little bit softer than it was the prior quarter. i think there are a lot of questions. jp morgan is going to set the tone about risk appetite in the market and the propensity to lend. that is a fascinating number from jp morgan. it is not specific to how jp
6:53 am
morgan will fare necessarily in trading today. it is bellwether for the economy to see what their loan book looks like. we will be watching as more of their documents come out to see what their net interest income projections are for this year, given that concern profitability from lending might be under pressure cost making system. tom: we are going to get to gerard. very quickly, this is important. what are revenue --? pnc was down a low bit. jp morgan with a substantial revenue beam. what does that signal to you? sonali: sorry. i thought you were talking to gerard. the revenue beat is interesting. that is why appointed to the fixed income training deed. they are making more money from businesses we got, who are way under pressure this quarter than showing. markets are still volatile.
6:54 am
the buy side has had a significant amount of pressure coming into this year that they thought were going to be all clear. it is significant you are seeing the beat on certain business lines, including investment banking, which has been weaker on the year. you are seeing jp morgan be a beneficiary of that. tom: gerard cassidy with rbc capital markets, what are they not saying this earning cycle, these major banks have this -- have to spend the message. what do they not have to talk about, i would suggest as their scope and scale. gerard: i think they want to make sure you do not scare the market by saying they are taking in these deposits from smaller banks. as sonali pointed out, the deposits, your inflows and outflows. one of the biggest outflows for jp morgan is qt.
6:55 am
i had to double check my numbers. the revenue beat is amazing. it is not just in fee revenues, this company's net interest income quarter to quarter was real strong. i think wells'revenues beat, pnc was slightly below. so far for where the stocks were trading last week to close versus these numbers, these numbers are much better than where the stocks were trading. so far in the three companies that put them out this morning. lisa: what do you make of the increase in the loan laws provisions we saw at wells fargo and jp morgan? at one point, $1 billion set aside from that. gerard: with the new accounting we all are familiar with, current expected credit losses, you have to look to the cycle. as the -- through the economic cycle, that is. i would say with the economy
6:56 am
looking weaker post silicon valley, i think this is evidence showing up in the provision for low losses. we have to remember, credit quality still is very strong for all these banks. there is no evidence of any collapse in credit. they have to prepare now and -- in anticipation of credit losses, which is likely an economic slowdown or recession which we are likely going to see later this year. jonathan: great to catch up with you. increased probability of a moderate recession and yet, basically full year net interest income at $81 billion. make since about one. tom: cassidy nailed that one. that will be front and center on the research call.
6:57 am
jonathan: wells fargo up about .5%. citi building on the gains, as well.

>> we have still a economy in the u.s. which is not landing. it is chugging along central bank's ability to finally and -- finally control inflation, much less direct than might have been thought. >> peak inflation is coming down. that is not the story. >> there are risks that are out there. >> there are possibilities further stress could be triggered at some point.
7:01 am
>> this is bloomberg surveillance live from the imf spring meetings in washington, d.c. with tom keene, jonathan ferro and lisa abramowicz. jonathan: a fantastic lineup of guests in washington, d.c. outside of these corridors from new york, looking at these markets from washington this morning, good morning for our audience worldwide this is bloomberg surveillance on tv and radio. equity futures on the s&p 500 softer by .1%. staple from jp morgan better than that. tom: even wells fargo has had love here. it is going to be a fascinating earnings season in all led by the banks. dare i say, led by tech as well over the exit queue should and given the cards they have been dealt. certainly, the tone this morning particularly on the revenue beat that jerome -- gerard cassidy
7:02 am
talked about, this is a jp morgan that is executing. jonathan: this move in the premarket suggesting a lot of people are relieved. jp morgan up by 4.5%. wells up here and we will get numbers five citi -- from citi in a moment. the coast is not clear. jamie dimon saying financial conditions will likely tighten. i think that is an assessment a lot of people will share. lisa: the two classes listening to these earnings, economists looking for how deep the pain may go in the u.s. economy and stock investors wondering when they can buy. when they could see some increase in valuations, they are getting the signal today. if you look at pnc shares, they are up 5.4% premarket trading, exceeding jp morgan on the better than expected. it does not mean there is not going to be a real economic ramification for reduction in
7:03 am
lending. jonathan: joining us now is sonali. go through the numbers piece by piece. sonali: this beat is incredible. a quarter of the people work worried about the economic outlook. guess what, the returns on tangible common equity of 20 3% are remarkable. that is with jp morgan increasing headcount. they are keeping a handle on costs, boosting headcount as well as increasing their net interest income outlook or the year in a year where banks were not expected to get the same boost from interest rates as they were in prior quarters. unstable, it is important because the first of the big regional banks to be reporting and their deposit number is better even when wall street had expected. you are looking at relative stability and being rewarded for caution when they are reducing their case of buybacks coming
7:04 am
into this quarter. wells fargo also coming in in line with expectations, this stability to come out from these banks at the start of this earnings season is welcome. when you had wells fargo and bank of america coming into today, can they regain some of that stock market value here given that they have made it through the worst so far? jonathan: stay close. when moore come, citi. jp morgan up right now 5.3%. a flavor of the regional banking story, citi should come in the next 60 minutes or so. joining us now is the director of equity research at cfra. you have had about 20 minutes to go through these numbers. what stands out? >> these banks are not only resilient, but making money. in particular in the consumer
7:05 am
areas, strength in the wealth management, credit card was flat. capital markets are strong. i think maybe the conversation has been missing is that we are going to see these banks do better ahead. we hit the trough. i would say the worries about the large banks is over. they are resilient. this is the first time deposits are down but loans are up. that is the first time that metric changed in maybe six quarters. perhaps that is a good thing. quietly, jp morgan is offering a 5% one year cd rate. even if deposits go out, they are quietly taking money from smaller banks. tom: you have been following this for decades. you can go back and look from annual report letters from 15 years ago that are embarrassing and vogue. as the vogue now for these banks
7:06 am
to top their scope and scale? i look at the revenue pop in jp morgan. i would suggest government affairs people are telling us to, shh, do not let anyone know. are they almost to successful? ken: you are spot on. the issue is the messaging. it is not that we have too much capital restricted because there is going to be regulatory cost and more regulation as relates to holding capital especially exiting basel three and gain. the story is making sure investors are comfortable, they can get dividend growth and buybacks at levels commensurate with the last two or three years. that is the debate they have hind closed doors with michael bar and the banks advisors on the stress test. not this year, but year. that is the important thing for
7:07 am
investors, knowing that these banks are not only resilient and profitable, but they can get a total return on their investment. lisa: i want to build on what tom is saying. we are talking about credit crisis and the potential for fragility and jp morgan expecting to bring in $81 billion of net interest income this year, far above what people were expecting. they are minting money. at what point are we expecting some of the discussion from the c-suite to be gloomier then perhaps it really is, to perhaps divert a little attention from what is going on in the bottom line? ken: the bottom line speaks for itself. that is with most markets. gerard was correct. we may have hit peak interest net margins, but looking back the last years at big banks, only jp morgan was able to grow net interest income from 2000 17 mostly because they expanded their loan activity and their book.
7:08 am
overall, the picture is good. that was our point in the middle of march. obviously, there was tremendous concerns about financial stability, but it was a great time at some of the large banks have sold off and we took advantage. i think the capital markets could give you a strong punch in the second half of the year he read right now, we are in the trough in terms of underwriting and mergers and acquisitions. tom: kevin leon's is dead on. max abelson tearing this apart for top line. this is a surreal conversation. the return on equity is 18%. they are minting money. shh, do not let anyone know. lisa: how much of this is a jp morgan story and a broader banking story and is this a question through out the rest of this year as people parse the differential between the jp
7:09 am
morgan's of the world and the -- i do not want to say the silicon valley's of the world, but the average republic banks of the world. ken: there's two iterations here. if you are diversified, you have large capital markets, businesses, you're going to outperform. the second part of this is related as you look at not only be super regionals but smaller banks. they have a narrower total asset mix, higher percentage of commercial real estate loans and commercial loans and the consumer will probably slow down a bit in the second half of the year. we saw that in the jp morgan results on credit card revenue. jonathan: this was wonderful to hear from you. citi coming up later. ken is going to stay close. let's take on this price action. tom: please. [laughter] jonathan: wells fargo is up 2.4%. on the same day at jp morgan and
7:10 am
jamie dimon is telling you there is an increased probability of a moderate recession this year, they are raising their outlook for net interest outcome by about $8 billion. tom: you can run up to 7%. this is a signal tugboat spinning an aircraft carrier in new york harbor. can you imagine the inertial force it takes to pop jp morgan premarket 7%? jonathan: let's see if it sticks. citi, the knicks to deliver earnings. there is a couple of ways of looking at this. one, ok, these numbers, stocks up, the coast is not clear. we have to wait to see if this regional stuff spills over into the broader economy. another way of looking at this as some people might say, the coast is clear, the labor market is resilient, the federal serve needs to do more, let's go 50. lisa: the problem has been the reason for this, you can
7:11 am
basically say whatever you want and have data to back it up. banks are telling the same story. we are in purgatory not sure where we are heading. what is clear to me, the banks are resilient in this data. what is not clear to me, where the consumers are. they are talking about the increased and the loan losses, more so at a wells fargo than a jp morgan with mortgages more present. that is going to increase as we see a growing number of regional banks report. jonathan: did you see the deposits by jp morgan? it is basically its own country. tom: that is a faux pas, as they say. jonathan: just phenomenal. tom: you are correct. this is one of the biggest problems with financial media. i will not mince words about it. we underplay the scope and scale of the mass of these banks. they are virtually canadian like
7:12 am
in the dominance of the system. lisa: are they getting deposits from some regional banks or is this be getting growth? they did increase more than expected. jonathan: what do you think? lisa: i am saying, theoretically, probably. jonathan: what do you think the week after svb? lisa: [laughter] no clue. jonathan: coming up in the next hour, of bloomberg opinion and queens college around this table. from the hq of the international monetary fund. equity futures positive on the s&p 500. the numbers from the banks relative to downside expectations. banks rallying in the premarket. numbers from citi in the next hour. ♪ lisa: keeping you up-to-date with news from around the world with the first word, i am lisa mateo. chinese leader xi jingping met with brazilian president in

[laughter] tom: tell us about the shock of the air force base. >> you are talking about the air force leaker that will be arraigned in washington. the questions are mounting on the biden administration. this started yesterday when the president said, we are close to finding this individual. he downplayed how important this leak was, which might bite the administration in the back. this seems it is an incredibly important -- one of the biggest leaks we have seen in a decade since edward snowden. we spoke to defense secretary mark esper yesterday. how does this 21-year-old for this job that feels like an i.t. job, the support of the space, have access to this kind of
7:21 am
sensitive material? jonathan: u.n. joe mathieu have done wonderful coverage of this. i watched that interview with esper. i think a point the three of you made, it is too early to draw conclusions. is the president drawing conclusions publicly? annmarie: i think what he is trying to do is downplay concerns. politically, this is damaging. it is not the biden administration's fault this 21-year-old had access. this is an issue the u.s. has been grappling with. more people in the u.s. government have access to information since post 9/11 world. the idea is you cast a much wider net, more intelligence to more people, you can catch more threats and issues. now, the pentagon has a problem on their hands and they need to figure out what went wrong. the pentagon spokesperson said we have issues in place, this was an individual, this was a criminal matter that he took misinformation. everyone is asking, how did this person have this level of clearance? lisa: there was the implications
7:22 am
in real-time, is the major implication as you talk with people questions about things revealed about the ukraine strategy, the ukraine russian war, or is this something broader in terms of the alliances and relationships the u.s. has with data sharing and strategizing together? annmarie: there is two points. one, the president said the reason why this leak is -- the issue is important, the content not so much. this is not present day information, but it is when you are showing information about the russian military. today, the washington post has another story based on easily document about special forces within the russian military and how they have been batted down. that is one issue, to put ukraine in a more vulnerable position in the current day. the second is, what does this mean for allies? i think most allies have accepted -- remember a year ago,
7:23 am
they have accepted this is what the united states does. the issue is, it puts leaders like the south korean leader about to come to the united states for a visit, his opposition is saying the u.s. is infringing on our sovereignty. in that respect, it is going to be much harder. they're doing it politely. behind the scenes, people are furious. lisa: behind the scenes is where i want to go. at the imf, there seems to be growing tension between the u.s. and europe and the u.s. and europe with respect to china. those fissures are growing. i am wondering, perhaps it is a stretch to types in there, but is there a feeling the u.s. and europe are not going to be liable allies same way going forward about things like china, trade and as they work in a collective group? annmarie: one,., the president left northern ireland with g sunak and a trade deal was not discussed.
7:24 am
when you're talking about these fissures between europe and the united states, i do not think it is happening behind the scenes. on the u.s. stance with this. we want to have our own strategic autonomy. that was the word,, in the world. jonathan: he said this probably. i had no idea the president might rope me so much. apparently, he loves rugby. annmarie: the president says he prefers his children, grandchildren to play rugby over football because he thinks american football -- jon is here, is safer. tom: this is going down in in rt have the protection and the helmet and that stuff. because of that, there has been this argument they tackle each other differently. annmarie: i have not seen that

major transition which has made some business models incredibly stressed. were going to see that. we're going -- now focusing on the banks. we talk about commercial real estate a but it goes beyond this. when you change which is a great paradigm as quickly as we did it will catch people off. some people able to get back on side, others have business models that do not allow them to get back on side. some of the smaller banks have that issue. they have higher funding costs. deposits have become more flighty they're going to have to contract and they're making loans that the big banks will not make. we're going to have a reduction in credit contraction. jonathan: we have a talk about the federal reserve. he was talking about some of the blame lying in the feet of the federal reserve.

8:08 am
interest rates and going from 0% to 5% like that? mohamed: we have three stages of this tragedy. stage one was to lose for too long. in march when the inflation print was 7.5% the fed was still injecting liquidity into the economy. we should've started tightening policy significantly a year ago. the second problem is after this whole long period the fed mischaracterize inflation so we loss nine months of possible policy adjustments. when you started late you end up going higher and staying there for longer. that is the logic. that is why tighter monetary policy is important. the interest rate cycle has been mishandled. his hand -- it is had an impact of what we are seeing of financial tablets and also were going to see in economic turbulence. tom: there is a spectacular

overall weakness of the number and the sectors that were week. we need to be careful here. we started the year off with a solid data ever getting a pay back in to march. the question is this the beginning of that slide into recession. i am leaning in that direction. there is weakening fundamentally going into the economy, some of it gas prices which are not relevant here. but there is fundamental weakening and this is before the stress in the banking system. the curve uncle in the banking system occurred. that is the new name. it is having an impact on lending. i do think the economy will slide into a wild recession at some point in the third quarter. tom: i've got to ask the obvious question.
8:37 am
you have access many would say to the greatest amount of knowledge on the american banking system your team development. when you talk to the banking bankers, the retail bankers, commercial bankers at the bank of america, how does that inform your economic analysis? ethan: we talk to all the businesses. look at our proprietary data, particularly the car data is quite useful for predicting things. it is way too early to talk about exactly how big of the shock is to bank lending from the recent but we really need to focus on regional and smaller banks. we have to wait and see. i do not think bank of america is necessarily the right place to see where the timing is going to come from. lisa: kerfunkle.
8:38 am
does that work for you? mohamed: i cannot pronounce it. why is it the top that leadership pushes back against you in stepping into recession? ethan: it is locally incorrect for the fed to come out and say we were too late hiking and we allowed inflation to spin out of control. and we are going to fix it by creating a mild recession. it is hard for them to make that statement in this political environment. what they have done instead is talk about -- first the staff forecasting a mild recession then they talk about downside risk, they talk about the landing zone. getting ever smaller, now the size of a postage stamp. they do not want to fully acknowledge actually this time around recession is going to be mainly a central-bank story.
8:39 am
i heard your earlier comment about the economy being fundamentally health and i agree with that. the problem is aggregate demand is too high. aggregate supply is not that great. something's got to rebalance here and is the fed rate hikes during the economy off. mohamed: let me ask you more on this. we have a difference between fed staff and effective leadership. we have a difference between foreign policy guidance and where the market thinks the rates are going to go. how long can we live with these differences? ethan: they will get resolved when the fed shows -- they say we do slide into recession in third quarter, at the fed 62 the current narrative when the bond market is going to have to adjust to reality. the problem with the bond market now is it is used to looking at recent business cycles where the
8:40 am
fed cut quickly in the face of recession. the fed cut before recent recessions. this is different. it is a mini version of the 1980's where the fed did not back off from tighter monetary policy for a longer time because they were trying to get inflation under control. they would rather do it with an extended period of weakness. perhaps a mild recession were forecasted followed by a week recovery and chip away at the inflation problem then hammer the economy and create a major recession. i think the bond market is wrong. i think the fed is going to do what they are saying in their projections. jonathan: wonderful to catch up with you. grid call. -- great call. are you sick of this? mohamed sare's anger, taking our jobs.

michael: a hawkish speech from christopher wallace today. he is noting inflation did come down a little bit in the cpi but i did not impress them. he thinks it is way too high and he noticed the fed has raised rates to dampen aggregate demand but consumer and businesses showing resilient and he said this growth would mean so far, tighter monetary policy and credit conditions are not doing much to restrain aggregate demand. he says there's more work to do. rates will have to go higher and stay there for longer. it sounds as if he is saying we could go more than once at this point and that may be what is helping contribute to the two year yield rising this morning. he is on the hawkish side. austan goolsbee is a voter this year, chicago fed president saying we have to address inflation and get it down. although he sounds less hawkish.
