. welcome to "street signs." we're waiting on data out of germany and the german business morale has risen once again in july let's not forget we were at record levels already in the june figure, so we've come in at 116 in july versus a consensus of 114.9 we've gone from record territory to even higher levels on the headlines coming out of the

german survey. you are watching "street signs." let's give you some headlines this morning shares rising as the dutch agency reports strong european performance with double digit sales both in the second quarter. after the bell shares sliding in the company's second quarter numbers missed expectations and outlines a new structure amid pressure, of course, from activist shareholders. and higher prices boost earnings more than 50%. the company's ceo tells cnbc that the sector is driving growth >> i'm not worried about the core volume growth we're ahead of gdp we see growth in automotive, which everybody says has slowed down in the first half of about 7% or 8%

zplool we have the expectations index. it's below the headline record levels you probably want to have a look at as well, and the expectations index has come in at 107.3, and that is above the consensus of 106.5 let's say for once we're not obsessed by monetary policy or obsessed by mr. president trump. let's say you are looking at corporate earnings a whole host of earnings

there are euro companies reporting this week. in terms of individual indexes, let's take a look at this. we have the ftse leading seven points lower 7,419 is where it's trading. they're all up by around about .4%. in terms of sector moves, banks, as we mentioned, in the headlines. .7% higher household goods under pressure there. what are the ramifications, if any sng let's have another look at the euro, shall we? euro dollar trading 116.63 as we

speak. bill sackett is co-head at uv. nice to see you. look, what do i say? iphone was in record territory, and now it's -- >> well, the data in europe is very strong, and it's not just the surveys. you can see a significant long-lasting decline in employment rate. you can see it in other parts of the spectrum that's what is driving the ecb language as well having said that, i think that, on the other hand, we have slowing nation rate. not just in europe, but globally as well. there is a limit to which the euro can rise before it creates problems for the ecb's narrative. this is coming from a house that's -- >> the currency is purely a reflection of the underlying economic growth, yeah? >> to some extent, and that it's a long-term perspective. >> this is the point before we thought that all the german exporters are going to start to worry about high --

they have prooufb that they can damn well put up with 117 as well >> that creates a conundrum for the ecb, yeah? >> we don't have a global communication problem, right if it's not that much better of an environment, then that's very fair now, as you said very rightly, the euro is not competitive. it's quite cheap, whether you look at it from a current account perspective, the competitive currency, and the way they have the next few years, and we have had that view since basically the point that investors were quite bearish i think the main concern here is that if you look at the currencies or oil prices, you look at oil prices in euros, you may have an impact on headline

inflation right around the time that the ecb is actually communicating its exit strategy, and that causes a little bit of a communication problem. >> why be can't they hike anyway regardless the fed is not seeing cpi rally. if the fed is doing it, why can't we in europe >> first of all, there's a big debate in the fed whether it's the right thing to do or not, and that's a very difficult and separate discussion to begin with in europe the inflation rates are lower. the dprk past inflation is still a little fragile, so it needs to be cautious. most importantly, the ecb needs to control it. they don't want to have a situation where the market undoes what they're trying to do it's a gradual escape from the monetary regime. they would rather be in control. >> where is the euro going >> well, important for this year's 113 >> oh, right okay

we're going to abate someone >> probably not in the next month or so. probably towards the end of the year next year 117 and then 121, 135. >>. >> they found some support off the leading opec, and it's exports in august. very heavy domestic demand that's why the air condition goes on in saudi at 130 degrees opec and non-opec is meeting in st. petersburg in an effort to include compliance with the recent deal to limit production. they also agree to bring in nigeria. now, it was previously exempt from the agreement saudi arabia's energy minister explained the range of driving

in the energy market >> we must acknowledge as a fed before that the markets have turned bearish with several key factors driving the sentiment. reported compliance not matching export figures is one of those, increased libya and nigerian production is another. u.s. shale forecast is a third, and, finally, the outlook past the march 2018 expiring data date of our agreement. >> let's take a look at a couple of facts yes, you have this new brother in arms relationship between saudi and russia, who between them produce around about 21 million barrels a day, which is just under a quarter of global production >> there's a lot of people nagging at the ages between opec

and without. the ek kwa door and indeed the likes of the iraqis as well who quite frankly, are happy to raise the production because they don't think, a, that their production is -- or, b, that they can afford to don't forget there's two prices. one they can afford to get out on the ground. two, the price which their budget balance as national country, the sovereign state, and the last one is way higher, i can tell you, than the price is at the moment the top of the line from saudi arabia and singling out the liks of iraq? well, there's no way those guys have that kind of uptick in production certainly in the short to medium term if indeed this is going to work. compliance has been above 100% in various times you know why because saudi has upset those that have been looks, shall we say, in compliance all options open what does that mean? that means that basically they can go deeper, which novak told me in istanbul a couple of weeks

ago, and they can go longer as well, because the worry is there going to be a free for all at the end of the first quarter, 2018, and is that reflecting in the future markets once it closes, boom, does everyone go for it all options open they can ek tend this as well. this is the point. people aren't looking at necessarily the current data supply and the current daily demand what they're looking at is an invention decline. they think they're way above five-year averages, and that is the major thing that everyone is looking at you can tell me a free count, if you like you can tell me that it's based on individual data i think this is the case they can get those down to five-year averages and then the guys in opec will see their strategy is rg who >> want getting as much bang for the buck as they like. they announced it back in

november where was the oil price? $2 higher. shares trading lower after a mixed set of quarterly results in norwegian aluminum. second quarter underlying ebit came in short of some of the analysts' expectations i'm delight to say evan joins us on the line, the cfo of north h hydro. your shares have had a 21% rally so far, but marks are looking negative do you think that's fair, or do you think the numbers are better than the market today? >> it's always difficult to judge the share market reaction.

>> do you think it's better to improve the profile of the public, to improve energies across the company is it still about that, or are you moving beyond the cost-cutting phase >> it's beyond the cost-cutting phase, and it's very much about improving personal sufficiency and getting more done in ermz it of production as well. >> fascinating to see what demand is right now? >> demand is good. we expect the demand increase in 2017 of approximately 46%. that means that we will have a largely balanced market when you look at this from a global perspective in 2017. maybe more interesting or equally interesting is that outside china we will be in a

deficit situation between production and demand. >> and therein lies my next question you know that it's always going to be about china as well. is the china -- is it a ridiculous amount of over supply coming out of a country that's -- >> it is hurting world markets with china that is overproducing over what their domestic demand is the interesting thing going forward is the so-called winter shutdown, the environmental discussions they're currently having in graz brazil in terms of the kospi and whether that will take effect or not. >> mr. trump has been taking aim potentially at still imports, even though it's a smaller part of -- it directly comes from china. it's the bigger picture. would you like to see countries like the united states taking more aggressive action against china?

>> i think we would like china to take control of the oil production i think we're very much in favor of free and open trade and not necessarily trade barriers between regions, but free and open trade on equal terms is what we're looking for >> china is not going to take that action, are they? >> i think at least if you look at what they're stating at the moment, again, it still needs to come into fruition at least from what they're saying, they will take actions against over supply also i think if you look at what they've done to a certain extent on steel and coal, there's probably slielts more hopes that they'll actually make things happen compared to previous rounds >> thank you very much indeed for joining us and taking our questions. always a pleasure. >> looking at potential as well.

now we've had the numbers as well, and, well, the markets are not that impressive today. weak demand and higher material costs are hitting akzo nobel's earnings the fall-out of a take-over bid by cb is larger than expected for operating profits. it remained on course for better results this year, adding that the separation of its sperkt p chemicals division was on track. they said that the chairman will real estate sign at the end of his term in april 2018, and, of course, as you will know, the activists out there have been gunning for mr. bergman saying, y -- a strong european performance helped the rise in second quarter profits it's the world's second largest staffing agency for a big rise 40.8%. that's the highest level we've seen in 2011 now

randstad said their second quarter is a continuation of the second quarter performance coming up on "street signs" luxury paying off. the maker of the likes of rayband sunglasses, beat earnings forecast. we are live in milan after this break. these days families want to be connected 24/7.

new, more reliable equipment for your home. and a new culture built around customer service. it all adds up to our most reliable network ever. one that keeps you connected to what matters most. welcome back to "street signs. it's clearly an extended trade after a drop in second quarter profits, and quite frankly, it was down to the 2.7 billion euro fine the company posted slielts better than expected earnings per share on higher revenue. $26 billion. that revenue came in at a higher price, and google's cost per click dropped 23% from a year ago.

my analyst has forecast indeed some of the numbers on this company. let me remind you, that's a lot of money to me and you this is a company that has $26 billion in sales in the second quarter. it's got a market cap even after the decline tonight under $98 from $1,000. it's got a market cap of $684 billion. i'm not saying the fine isn't going forward. i'm not saying it's not going to change the way we look at the company in terms of how the regulators and that in europe. it's a $684 billion company. what did the market think of it? the market really likes this company nowadays they have had a very, very strong run-up from around about $800 year-to-date 26% higher. the market is still absolutely in love with this stock. i found one strong seller out there. no sellers five holders 25 buyers, and 13 strong buys. we've got 38-1 from people who

like it compared with dislike it as well. let's do some more work on this one later in the show. we'll have more on alphabet earnings with felix wind thorpe. that's coming up later in the show unch, the italian eye wear maker is on track to hit its target the it expects regulators will approve its merger with luxottica. it's the real estateband sunglasses reported earnings in line with estimates. let's take a look at the shares performance. it is 18% higher for the year today. let's get a bit more on this stock with claudia who is in milan. lovely to see you. >> nice to see you this morning.

well, luxottica performing well on this market it is one of the better performers outperforming the ftse that is up by 0.7%. those numbers were quite strong. you said they beat on operating profit 199 the market was expecting 873 million. as far as top line is concerned, haven't quite gone up as much. the company did confirm the guidance for top line growth they do expect mid-single digit growth for the full year net profit for the first part of the year came in at 562 million euros, and that is higher by 14%. really the market appreciated it it already thought that the numbers were going to be good yesterday. the stock was up higher in closing. they are also waiting for approval for their deal for their merger with essilor to create the largest group already luxxotica was very large, but they'll have 14

billion in terms of net sales, and they are still awaiting for u.s., canada, and brazil approval while they have already received european and chinese anti-trust approval. we can see one more manager step out from his post at the head of retail that went and took a job at lb & h. this comes after three years since leonardo, the founder of luxottica has once again sort of the helm of the management of the group. things are going quite well, and the stock is trading higher this morning. up now at probably one of the

best performers luxottica trading higher by 1.6% >> again, great company, but 26.4 is that what we pay for these companies now? >> the rates are on hold when it kicks off a two-day meeting later. investors are looking for clues as to when the central bank will begin taking back its bond holdings with expectations mounting that it could start in september. the dollar inched higher ahead of the meeting boosted by stronger than expected rise in manufacturing and services pmi data >> the market is pricing maybe

one hike and then a first. plus, some -- the question is whether basically the fed is likely to do that or not or whether they are going to signal a pass consistent with whether it's in the past >> why is the market so disdainful of the current view from the fed the current from the fed >> the good reason is that probabilities, the feds has already raised rates if you look at the range of outcome, two or three years from now, you could be in a good place. after all, the data is still decent that's good reason the bad reason is a little bit too much caught up into the narrative of what has happened

in the past. the current low inflation rate, which will remain low, but not as low as we are now, and a little bit of a narrative getting caught up in the narrative. >> this week as well, gdp on friday i have about 20 second left. are we going to see earnings picking up aggressively? >> in the u.s. >> yeah. >> i think that we have seen a reasonable pick-up, but i do think that we're past the acceleration phase >> we'll be back after a short break. rmeranthill on the german caaks d ey are rallying today after two back to back negative sessions. we'll talk about the collusion scandal, and we're going beyond that here on "street signs."

welcome back to "street signs. here are your headlines. european banks seeing a boost in early trade following a strong session state-side leading equityists slightly higher well staffed shares rising the dutch staffing agency reporting double digit sales growth in a second quarter shares, though, sliding as the company's second quarter numbers missed expectations and outlines

a new executive structure amid pressure from activist shareholders >> overall we'll still be ahead of gdp we see growth in automotive, which everybody says has slowed down in first half of about 7% or 8%. >> shares, bmw and daimler have recovered slightly, but remain under pressure from allegations that the automaker had offered a wide-ranging -- the bmw spokesperson has said it will hold an extraordinary supervisory board meeting on wednesday following the launch of an e.u. probe into alleged price fixing the investigation by european union regulators will be whether

carmakers use committees to discuss pricing and whether such talks breached competition laws. my guest is an expert. head of global automotive research very nice to see you i have been riding from your copy the whole thing is why you are saying, if this was so material, bearing in mind these automakers knew about these collusion allegations for a long, long time, since last year as well, they would have had to display something in their reporting structure as well. they have not reported anything up until now you don't think that this is wide-ranging perhaps and as punitive potentially as some are making out, is that right? >> that's why the authorities have been looking into this for years. daimler saying they've been incorporating since 201 1. volkswagen stopped some of their practices beginning of 2016. they reported themselves to the german and european authorities middle of 2016

i would have said they would have had no announce something >> or is this before the epa said look what you have been doing, and enthis, of course, the whole apple cart was thrown up as well -- or thrown over as well is this once again being not giving the shareholders as much information as they possibly should have had in early stage >> i think this is a completely different situation. they have reported themselves. they're cooperating with the authorities, as i said earlier on in this case. this is potentially dragged into the year because some were -- i still don't see major global legal threat here. >> where is the line here? look, you look we see the industry commissioned as well. to move to pricing to say we're going to have smaller emissions

systems because that was one of the big headlines as well, and then do that in concert with each other as well, where is the line on this one >> well, the line is when you breach anti-trust law. now, in all these industry groups, working groups that decide on which technologies make most sense, what should regulations look like, what are standards in the industry, they're normal practice. what is not normal practice is a group of daimler, oem, they need outside normal industry standards. there are no lawyers involved that are overseeing the whole thing. if they agree on industry, as you said, on prasing, which technology to use, then that's illegal. there's also a question here because they have reported themselves >> now, the industry is reeling, though, and just one more point. this isn't about these at the moment, but i do want to talk about that are we well beyond this now? accusations are flying around against daimler, against renault

and all kinds of people as well. where are we all now in terms of diesel and emissions cheating? >> i think diesel is pretty much dead in europe europe is the only region in the world where diesel cars are being sold to the extent that they are with a market share of about 40%. the consumer doesn't want diesel anymore. the consumer is demanding electric products. >> i saw it go down aggressively, but there are still tens of thousands of these things being sold. >> i drive a diesel as well. people are still driving modern europe because they're being told that these are really clean diesels, but people -- >> that's another scandal about this >> incrementally people want different power trains, and the power trains are there

there are 48 horse systems that are increasingly becoming popular. >> you don't have to fill up your car it's very convenient over time these power trains are even cheaper to manufacture than very complex diesel. >> we have a revolution going on here, and we've been speaking to the likes of jack in the last few days or so and the likes of patrick thomas. i'm asking the question now, what is the technology company compared with an oem this is what we were talking about before as well the boss patrick thomas told jeff and karen earlier on, that he believes there's a fundamental shift underway in the automotive sector. >> modern vehicles are now using to achieve fuel efficiency, to achieve the weight necessary to

do hybrid and fully electric vehicles, and that's where we see the growth the growth comes for us from those sort of technologies which use three times as much of our type of materials as the older style vehicles >> and herein lies the issue as well you can just see behind we have tesla and behind me we have volkswagen as well now, why do we have volkswagen well, because we sent you an e-mail saying, well, come on then, give us your best player amongst the old-fashioned oem, and i was surprised. you came up with this. give us your rationale >> i think the diesel crisis, what's happening now with the anti-trust legislation, they shake up the old structures, and the companies really are reconsidering what's the right structure for us, how should we run the business, but underneath you do have fantastic -- more than 70% of the earnings come from trucks, come from mass

market business, and even volkswagen, the brand, is a good brand. the market leading brand in china, strongly emerging markets, issued the fix in the u.s. i like the turn-around potential, and it is, you know, probably the -- it is the cheapest auto stock globally >> that's five and a half times forward trade, which is a little less than the likes of ford. a little work earlier on, which i think trade, yes, 7.35 just on the one program meter. look, just our view, volkswagen isn't -- it is lamborghini, porsche as well. when ferrari went to market with its -- i could not believe the valuation. if you have oem on five to seven, and why are they doing this for lambeau or porsche? >> they might. we published that volkswagen would move to a holding spot where they will slow some of the businesses they could create a premium auto business with the likes of

lamborghini, bogati, porsche, and that would trade at a completely different multiple than the vw group today, maybe closer to ferrari. you could mass market this you could have a list of trucks. the volkswagen holding on top of it, and the porsche families that control volkswagen would merge their entity with volkswagen and invest in where they were originally worth >> there lies the tension as well you just came upon another issue where the families controlling volkswagen, porsche, got themselves in a bit of a pickle with some regulators sellers got themselves wrong on this one acouple of years ago as well. are those families willing to break up this enormous structure they created >> they have a current steak in the porsche holding company, and that's not liquid. i see only benefits, and the brands can continue to cooperate with each other, but you can

really measure the management teams and give them stock in their own companies. >> we're looking for oem's that have a 21st century -- especially with great concerns about auto sales, especially in the united states. i saw some horrific figures yesterday. this company here is the technology company that some people say sell cars as well, and sometimes it even gets deliveries on track as well. >> it's hard to attend oem in the world. there is a lot of potential that lies in the electric vehicle auto business that lies in other businesses that elan might create or he has been creating already. >> is that a distraction for him? >> well, time will tell. >> i saw that one a couple of days ago the fact they aren't selling

mass market, when he is extracting and stuff like that >> so far he hasn't been -- >> they have to get this launch right, and they'll have to kick off the forecasting a monthly production rate of around 20,000 units by the end of this year, so they have to get the laurj. >> i have one more question for you. why is it tesla can produce a battery that can go for 200 plus miles and then the others can't? they have a gto that -- what's going on why have they got that technology, but none of the others have? >> tesla decided to go with a battery technology that others in the auto industry described as not being good enough, but it was very practical

they went on with it, and they got it working much better than people thought that's why they get the car. >> one day i'll speak to you, as i have done, and from -- and i'll think, well done. you have seven miles on your battery. until then i'll have to thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable few minutes. thank you for joining us the head of global automotive research at ever core isi. >> volkswagen and daimler are gearing up to report later this week general motors is due to publish its latest set of numbers later today. the company's cfo chuck stevens will join our colleagues at 13:50 ct with the earnings release. softbank is reportedly seeking a multimillion-dollar stake in uber they have acquired the ride-hailing app softbank already has a stake in three asia-based companies with

similar business models, including china's, which has attempted to push back against, of course, uber's expansion in southeast asia right. let's get an update on the latest stories coming out of yap japan now. mikiko joins us at the nikkei. >> yes china's ride-hailing service giant announced monday that along with softbank, it will invest $2 billion in grab, which is the largest ride-hailing company in southeast asia. now, grab is based in singapore after being founded in malaysia five years ago and offers taxi and ride-sharing services in the two countries as well as in thailand, vietnam, the philippines, and myanmar, and the company says at least 50 million people have signed up to use its smartphone app softbank's ceo saw note of that and payment technologies,

suggesting that it's through the investment he hopes to gain a foot hold in payment services and the median china, which boasts 400 million users, also already has a partnership with lyft, which includes capital corporation, and the deal has made the app available to use even in the u.s. the competition is fierce to capitalize on southeast asia's text-driven sharing competent, and the similar thing is out in the whole sharing market as china's air bnb in the u.s. expand their battle fronts throughout asia. that's all from the nikkei back to you. >> all right thank you very much indeed for that okay coming up on this show, alphabet shares slide as the e.u. fires into profits, but has that affected the business model, the dynamics of this company i don't know let's discuss. we'll get a nepal for you after a very short break right here on

jared kushner, donald trump's son-in-law, has denied claims that he colluded with russian officials during last year's presidential campaign the senior bhous aide says documents he provided for u.s. senate panel will show he did not have any part in alleged russian election meddling. both russia and president trump have also denied these allegations. president trump has been wanting do repeal and replace obama care he has urged senate republicans to do the right thing. the senate is set to vote on whether to open debate on a health care overhaul this week

>> the question for every senator, democrat or republican, is whether they will side with obama care's architect, which have been so disruptive to our country, or with its forgotten victim any senator who votes against starting debate is telling america that you are fine with the obama care nightmare, which is what it is. >> let's take a look at the european market. i don't want to look stupid. not for the first time it's had a real good run, actually .4 of 1% an extra day of gains. 51.59 is where the -- u.s. futures, how are we looking? we are coming up next. okay apparently i'm looking at the time i played with the director to

give me -- i played with him give it to me. i'm pleading nasdaq down 7 points that's a bit of a mention. fantastic. revenue growth has not come cheap throughout the day shares as well slid as opposed to plead the google story at 23% from a year ago much bigger decline than analysts had expected. felix windwood with us good morning to you, sir >> good morning. >> hello >> right okay why don't you tell us what you think of this. i have been slightly derogatory. i look at the market cap, $26 billion sales in the second quarter, and i'll be honest, i don't care about 2.7 unless it affects the ongoing business model. >> i think the thing about -- it gets a lot of attention. it's a huge number when you are google, it's not a

big number, and it's a one off it's affected the course, but i think that's the reason why the -- >> you are on this one >> yeah, absolutely. like we're discussing yesterday. it's all about the affect. there is a material change to the business here in europe. i think the concerns and why we saw the share slide off a rally was around the rising cost i don't necessarily think that's a big problem. if you actually stripped out, you would have seen the year-on-year rise in net income of google, and it does show that they're shifting to the higher value. actually, there's a shift to mobile, and that's a good thing, and that's why you have seen the costs rising >> when you want alphabet to focus? i notice they scaled back on other bets, which is so-called moon shots a google as well are they going back to basics?

>> it's quite hard to tell what they're actually doing, but i think the important part is the mobile phase and also the cloud phase, and that's grown aggressively their deals are over $500,000 and grew 3a in the course. they're growing the cloud part of the business, and that's important. the interesting thing about the other bench pieces, that's the up side optionalty whether those analysis -- >> it's not part of the valuation at the moment. >> i don't think so, no. no >> is that what you interpret as well, the moon shot is just pairing back a little bit? >> a little bit. we saw the prices narrow slightly they are seeing growth areas now, and it was on the earnings course it was all about cloud, and they mentioned cloud a lot of times they couldn't break out the numbers, of course, but cited. there was increasing traction from enterprise customers, which is exactly what they're going to do and need to do because they are behind at this very point when you look at the likes of

amazon and microsoft they're trying to catch up to them >> all these guys are going to make money out of the cloud. i look at s.a.p. bang, they love their cloud. i look at awx. fantastic product there. you just referred to huge increasing cloud activity. can they aylwin on cloud >> well, other players as well, you can throw an article there i think they probably can. it's hard to see where that's out right now. we're still -- yes, i think as the cloud becomes much more of a sort of commoditized global product, yes, i think there's -- >> i think there is a danger, though even right in the early days the players that are going to win even albauba talk about

their a.i. app and applications in the cloud and what they can deliver. >> it's only the europeans you are worried about the competition implications the u.s. and, again, i think we've raised it earlier on as well again, the big u.s. companies, anything on the horizon there where the dominance of these major players. it doesn't even have to be in cloud. he is going to threaten google, threaten microsoft, threaten -- >> at the moment the regulatory environment in the u.s. actually looks okay for the some of the technology companies they don't think it's an issue for google out in the u.s., but there are other areas across europe, of course, and india as well >> stunning growth market. >> they decided -- particularly in the android market where

android is a dominant player that could be a real danger. >> does that threaten the horizon? >> i think an investment market, so i think they're going to be okay this is one of the best parts of the case on all these large cap tech companies is they really have their whole market. google -- any valuations what are we 27 times four now? doesn't seem that busy some of the peers out there. >> i agree i don't think it's not the valuation that's going to stop it's going to be -- we've seen public and it's still revenues at about 30% i think there's any weakness >> still want to buy this at

228% >> absolutely. >> some broader sell-off >> no. i mean -- >> it's -- they have to own it in the set >> it is along with facebook and amazon now i think weakness is an opportunity to buy these secular winners. >> all right fabulous gentlemen, we'll leave it there. lovely seeing you. thank you very much. fund manager at kindle investment manager will you be with us tomorrow >> hopefully >> looking forward to that well, that's it for "street signs. i've pled with you to stay with the channel. we're not only first in business, but we're making it work before anyone else. that's it for today's show it's a good thing we brought the tablets huh?
