i am dani burger in london. holding steady, philly fed parker said the end of the hiking cycle may be near with potential cuts to come next year. treasuries extend a rally. the u.s. curbs its ambition bloomberg learns that investment into restrictions in china are more limited than first expected. plus, after bank stocks stumble, italy clarifies its new tax on windfall profits, saying it will cap. all right, we are going to give it -- get earnings but first let us look at markets because it has been quite the rally in the 10 year yield. we saw a drop by six basis points yesterday. most of the gains on the front end of your screen happened during the asia and europe session. those gains are maintained today, about two basis points. if we can have such a risk off day, such a flight to haven, flight to bonds on such little information, we have a lot about banking stocks --we knew the
1:02 am
picture for regional banks underscores the fragility of the summer market. let me show the stocks because yesterday it was banking stocks that led the slide. perhaps there is the idea that the moody's downgrade challenged our current narrative of a soft landing. and that there wouldn't be scars from march. perhaps it will be scars. perhaps that is why we continue to see stocks priced out a soft landing. all right, let me show you what is happening in asia because we did get china cpi, ppi and china officially back to deflation for the first time since 2020. not a big reaction and equity markets. a lot of this is baked in. let me get you to breaking earnings. let's start with abn amro. second quarter profit coming in stronger than expected. 170 million euros. the estimate was for 576 known euros -- one million euros. that is a beat, a large one i
1:03 am
should say. one of the issues have been costs. now they are having their full year estimates for cost at 5.2 one million euros. the estimate was for i .3 billion euros. there you go, losses come in. additionally, the second quarter loan-loss recovery, 60 9 million euros. the estimated provision had been 96 million euros. across the board, beats when it comes to provisions, costs and the profit. good news there. let's get to our top stories now and get to our morning roundtable. we are going to be joined by valerie, stephan you and -- tim. let's start with the china story and get over to bloomberg opinions tim culpan. thank you for joining. we had been expecting potentially some news when it comes to this long-awaited u.s. restriction into china investments. part of me is surprised we have not quite gotten that yet but it
1:04 am
sounds like these are going to be more limited than the initial expectation of what u.s. would do. tim: yeah, it seems nonsensical to be honest with you. the reports we are hearing is they will dial it down and specifically as it relates to ai. some of the investment restrictions going into china will basically say we are only going to restrict it if ai is the primary business of that specific company, which is ridiculous because i is more of a tool -- ai is more retooled than service or product. a lot of companies would use ai and a lot are already using it but they are not ai specifically. this dialing down of the restrictions as it has been discussed, i don't know what the point is. when you've got investment restrictions, it is easy to limit investment inbound into the u.s. for example. you could say you are an entity that we don't like and we won't allow it. how do you decide what is a u.s. entity or u.s. person and so on
1:05 am
and so forth? the restrictions there on outbound investment out of the u.s. and into china something that will be hard for them to enforce. of course, there is parts of the u.s. government and bureaucracy will do their best to do so and we probably will find those that have breached the law if they do but it is a very difficult area. there will be a lot of gray area that lawyers will be pouring over. the rules at their -- as they are being discussed don't make sense and we need to wait for more clarity to see what the rules exactly and what is the of them? -- what is the point of them? dani: we are supposed to get an announcement soon and hopefully we will get clarification. while we are talking about investments, my inelegant segue, we have been talking about the arm ipo and is thrown back into the spotlight after softbank's earnings. the most recent reporting is that amazon will be an anchor investor in this ipo. this is expected to be a monster ipo comparatively given the fact
1:06 am
that we have had barely any ipo's this year. what is the significance of having amazon? tim: we really have had an ipo drought recently especially in tech. any drop of water seems like a flood. this is a big deal, even beyond the numbers that we are expecting, it is a big important company. by size, it is relatively small but the significance amazon is really, really important because arm is probably the most ubiquitous proprietary technology in use today. pretty much everybody on the planet of the earth is somehow exposed to arm technology. it is more ubiquitous than windows or android or even apple 's ios. traditionally we have seen arm and its technology which is the core of its ship used in smartphones and thought of it as a very efficient kind of technology. with amazon coming aboard, if they do, amazon does not sell smartphones. they are all about big services.
1:07 am
they design their own chips that go into their own servers. it is a recognition that arm is 14 itself away from smartphones into big data, ai, and so forth. it is a company really going big into big types of chips and data centers not just in your hand. if amazon does come on board beyond actually being a nice investment to have, it is a badge of honor and a seal of approval from one of the world's largest technology companies to say yeah, arm is our kind company. dani: tim, i love that metaphor. when there is a drought, a drop like a flood. i will still that one from you so apologies in advance. thank you for the latest on arm. that's continue the roundtable and get to our regular, bloomberg's valerie tytel. valerie, thank you for joining. look, that rally we saw yesterday in the bond market, it continued drought the day. it continued this morning perhaps adding fuel to the fire with the philly fed's patrick
1:08 am
harker. we have the sound of him so let's take a listen and get her thoughts >> the soft landing is quite possible and quite possible at this point. now, things could happen. another tragic move by putin in ukraine could cause incredible pain and anguish for just the human toll but also could take a big toll on the economy. but god forbid that happens, i think we can get back there. dani: he went on to say perhaps more importantly that we look closely into the hiking cycle and later said we could even see cuts next year. how much of the bond rally was about that versus banks yesterday? valerie: there was a big risk off bid into the market there but you had harker just commenting on the possible risks ahead and i think the market really focused on maybe perhaps a financial crisis in china could be the thing that ends the cycle for the fed. that was a worry estimate, this country garden missed payment.
1:09 am
remember the developer in china? country garden is one the blue-chip companies among them and if they are struggling, maybe that is a hint to the more economic pain underlying what is going on, underlying the chinese economy. perhaps it is a current -- financial crisis in china which will turn this around but a lot of negativity the markets yesterday, especially the bond market. the equity selloff turned around at the end of the session yesterday. unsure of what spooked that, but yields are now 15 basis points off their highs last week. and these options were not enough to spook the market where there the three-year auction was rather stellar yesterday. we had the tenure today. dani: we had the tenure --10-yaer today in 30 year tomorrow. this feels more height than usual. valerie: this is the first of the upsides treasury auctions. i think the long end supply on thursday is going to be more closely watched because of a lot
1:10 am
of the selloff last week was led by the long and an reversal of the rally this week has been led by the long end as well. we want to know if that is going to continue but also on thursday we get cpi heard from not only harker is today but also bargain who commented that we have the cpi on thursday, a lot more data ahead of us until september and he was quite hesitant to pencil in what the fed to move become september. he wants to leave his options on the cards just saying it is too early to decide he does not see any reason to prejudge. dani: they could say the rate hike cycle is done and then they have to move again. the fed has made similar but not the same mistake similar mistakes before. thank you so much. we will get you back cpi preview. hold fire, valerie. the other top story, the thing that moved markets yesterday was italian banks and news that a surprise windfall profits tax could be levied against them.
1:11 am
let's get over to stefania bianchi on this. we have heard more from italy and perhaps they are spooked with how much the market was spooked. they have given a clarification trying to calm things down. what was a clarification? stefania: that's right. it has been quite an eventful 24 hours financially as you say. yesterday, about $10 million wiped off the value of italian banks. italy late last night came out with some of clarification, not clear to much how much it is but what they are saying is that it will be limited. this tax limited on some banks and levy won't exceed 0.1% of the firm's assets but again, it is not clear exactly what measure they are using for this. so, it might go some way to calm markets today. we will have to see when they open but i am sure there are still lots of questions to be answered. dani: there is also a lot of
1:12 am
banking story is happening right now. don't go anywhere. were going to be with us later in the program to talk more about it because again, there is so much to cover. stefania bianchi, thank you so much. a quick look at what we are watching out for today. it is kind of a thin day when it comes to really big earnings and really big data but this is the one to watch out for. it is the 10 year treasury auction. i believe it is about $38 billion. as new 10 year notes will be auction. what will the reception be like as we swallow this new deluge of treasuries because of the ballooning deficit? that capturing the attention of markets. most in the u.s. we will get disney earnings. we learned yesterday that disney's espn has signed a new agreement with the casino penn in order to have them license espn brand. we'll see if we get commentary on that in the disney earnings. the entertainment segment is little changed slightly. the parks are growing but there
1:13 am
has been waning attendance. what will that show us about the consumer? you can get a roundup of these and all the stories you need to know to get your day going in today's edition of daybreak. thank you to everyone who joined our morning roundtable. coming up, we will get back to the markets and back to the treasury auction. $38 billion of 10 year yields to absorb what will be the impact. more on that next. this is bloomberg. ♪
1:16 am
>> inflation does remain too high, there is still a plausible story out there that inflation normalizes in short order and economy dodges additional pain. there is a lot of talk about the potential for what is often called a soft landing. certainly, last month's inflation rate was a good one and i hope it is a sign because to be sure, the fed's objective is not to cause a recession. it is to reduce inflation in line with our mandate. dani: fed president thomas barkin sounding different than what we heard from harker. harker says he might be at the week to stop embarking not ready to call that -- and bargain not ready to call that yet. this week's historic treasury
1:17 am
debt auctions follows trepidation from last week when the sizes were announced and the top expectations. we have a three year auction yesterday that produced lower-than-expected yield. demand was stronger than anticipated. today, we get more duration out there. $38 billion of new 10 year notes. let's get to mark cranfield joins us. first of all, we were talking about me slacking a faye and i want know that mark cranfield is currently at work at home despite the fact that is a holiday in singapore. thank you so much. second of all, what are you expecting on the 10 year option today? what should you be looking out for despite should be on holiday today. mark: it's going to be much tougher than the three-year yesterday. it would have been much easier for the 10 year last week when it was trading around 4.2%. that level most people would say is a no-brainer. now we are trading back at 4% flat basically which makes it a
1:18 am
lot more difficult and there is a 30 year auction following day. people might be a little bit cautious about going too far on the 10 year when they know there is a daily of bonds following day. it makes a prettied up -- pretty tough sell. markets will be relieved there is no negative reaction. if it goes through people except that pricing is pretty much in line and there is no big tail, let's get on with life after that. that would probably be the best result today. the last thing they would want to see is a auction that has a wide tail because that would upset the balance for the 30 year auction which is usually much more to get through anyway. so, although we had a good three-year to start, if by no means as we are going to have a very smooth week. there's a long way to go in of course, you've got all these frictions with the rating agencies in the background looking at the banks. who knows who will be the next
1:19 am
one to give us a negative feedback another sector within the economy. i would suggest not an easy option today and the 30 year is going to be a tough one as well. dani: it's a good point you make of all the pressures that are simmering in the background. what do you make of the thought out there that when it comes to banks, specifically moody's, this is not new information versus the idea that it challenges a soft landing? can we say the ratings agency changes on u.s. banks? that they challenge a narrative for equities of a soft landing? mark: it might not go that far because in general, banks are indecent help in the unit -- health in the united states. what does is asterisk to sentiment in the general equity universe and the bond universe as well, corporate bonds which would be affected with the rating agencies are doing as
1:20 am
well. as soon as you start to bring in questions over the health of the whole structure and whether things are priced correctly. that is probably another factor for people to consider. a lot of things are virtually price. corporate spreads are tight. there's not much merging of error -- margin of error here. as soon as people start to question the metrics within the system, you have a bit of a problem because the only way to go is to reduce exposure. that can hurt confidence. dani: we are in a place where it feels like the china worries are truly everywhere. we are firmly in deflation. maybe the market does not react much to that for yesterday, the concerns about country garden and the huge chinese property developer, how concerning is it? how concerning is missing in other coupon payment yet again on their dollar bonds? what is the implication of that apple mark: for people outside
1:21 am
asia they may not fully appreciate how important country garden is. it was the poster board -- boy for years and years, the poster boy of the china properties sector. seen as a safe, secure company who had great products, was well-managed, whether you had equity or bonds, you were in a very good place. suddenly, that has been turned on its head. it is a huge hit to sentiment both domestically and externally in terms of the market for china. if the chinese authorities don't get their act together very quickly, they could find it takes years to restore confidence in the property sector in china. country garden is the face of china property. you cannot just make impact. -- you cannot underestimate the impact. dani: you'vedani: got to imagine this has some sort of bearing on the bond really cared valerie tytel reminding me we were worried about evergrande country
1:22 am
garden has four times as many projects and was china's biggest developer by sales in the last years. we will have to leave it there. that is bloomberg mliv strategist mark cranfield. still had, novo nordisk shares to a record after an obesity drug showed benefits. we will bring you that story and many more. this is bloomberg. ♪

business which will be copper by the end of the decade. and it might be very much more on the bottom line because -- the bottom line of the copper price because copper is going to run out. if you believe in the forecast growth for copper, and i do. >> it feels like for the energy transition you have to have a lot of copper. in the short term, mark, it was dismal trade data out of china. trade data is getting hit hard today -- copper is getting hard today. what is your take on it now? mark: we are not going to see china go back to where it was. it is a very big component of the global economy. it is a consumer of all metals, but also, i think we got reminded by the fact that if we get a bold and better world for everyone, we need to invest and develop so all metals are important. copper is the most strategic of
1:26 am
all those modules. whatever you do, if you want to green the world or the grids, industrialize any more modern, more user-friendly way, copper is a key metal. we don't have enough of it. not enough in our minds today --mines today. i will come back to your first question. what we have is real organic growth. eric is looking to -- barrick is looking to grow 25% organically by the end of the decade. dani: barrick gold president and ceo, mark bristow. let's get to our top stories. wework slump, falling 24% in the u.s. after hours. the company said in the earnings that there is substantial doubt

treasury auction. if you look at yesterday almost a drop 10 basis points. usually this kind of news is not enough to get this type of action. volumes are lighter, edgy market. at least bonds are acting as some sort of edge for the folio. s&p 500 futures are little changed this morning. yesterday we did see a pretty sizable drop. here is the futures session. yesterday we saw a lot of the losses happening during the u.s. session.
