He investigation has expanded Deutsche Bank issuing a subpoena, demanding documents and President Trump and his family. He and his team art investigated not 300 million. For more, lets ring in the chairman. Democrats in congress have been pushing for them, but Deutsche Bank has always said with a confidential relationship, we cannot just released documents. We need a formal request from, congress. They now have it. Might eventually benefit the bank . I think it maybe someone in the banks who previously told me they would love to release the documents filling they could get out of the headlines. Trying to bring them into the headlines, to get the chest, is probably something of a relief for the bank. Im pretty sure they are quite happy they can release is documents. Mark remind us about the relationship between the president and Deutsche Bank which stretches back decades. That is true. As we all know, president used to be a Real Estate Developer and Deutsche Bank is a big bank in real estate finance. The two have had a long relationship, not always harmonious but it has been for a andme the biggest Real Estate Developer donald trump. , his about aberg million in debt from Deutsche Bank today. Still anourse is important relationship for both sides. Ofre is therefore a lot interest in the relationship. Againstll the subpoena Deutsche Bank add to trumps friend trail against investigators . That may be the case. Im a german banking reporter but so i am not entirely sure. He has said before he would not like the investigation to expand. About hisments are family. I would expect him to not be very happy about this and we will see what he says about it. Mark does it have any impact on the biggest Bigger Picture . Turnaround,out the lack of ability to produce revenue growth. Does this feed into the narrative when it comes to 2017 . Does. Hink it it feeds into the narrative of him being the one to clean up the bank. Out, and over the documents and then this chap is closed and then there is another and of course, we dont know what the documents will reveal in the end and if thenreveal something more, it may come back to haunt Deutsche Bank. Is positivent, it for the bank. Thank you. We are turning to the house now,he house and senate, tax hills they work on creating a compromise will. Giving the 20 alternative minimum tax for reparations, that is a move tax by businesses. Lets move to our White House Correspondent at the d. C. Bureau. The whole idea is that companies would pay which everyone is higher and if corporations get a 20 tax, why is it still in legislation . Click this is being described as a drafting era error. Over the last couple of weeks, you can expect there are a number of loopholes and errors that will be discovered as they dig in to the legislation. As this goes between the house and the senate, they will try and figure out the way to ameliorate the problem caused by the senate keeping the andrnative minimum tax making a lot of other things they were trying to do no longer operative when you have a 20 minimum tax, that makes a lot of things youre trying to do just not add up. The numbers do not work. You have heard members of congress try and fix this. They can take this to congress to iron out details. They make sure the house and Senate Version are reconciled so they have some work to do. The alternative minimum tax issue is one they do not know about and it did not arise until the last 48 hours or so, as you pointed out. They will have work to do to figure out how to make sure they do not penalize the very businesses and industries, especially the tech industry, they were hoping to help. I have seen estimates between 40 billion a year. Is that true . Is there a reason this may not be a drafting error . They removing a lot of chips around trying to make the marks and making changes to make sure they can get the 50 votes they needed and making changes to add on provisions that were requested by certain members. That is part of the reason there were so many changes at the end. A number of senators did not know exactly all of the various provisions they were voting on. 4250 or 60 billion sounds like a lot of money, and a 1. 5 trillion tax overhaul, it is not a huge amount. If they feel strongly about it, they can find the money elsewhere and tweak things around as they go through the reconciliation project and physics the problem that was caused. It was likely cause because they were moving so quickly, the bill 2 00. Ted on after not necessarily looking at all the details. Weree clear of day, they trying to figure out drafting errors and problems that were part of the bill taken out. Mark two key issues standout. 25, the Corporate Tax rate would kick in until year later than the house version. How do you reconcile those two big differences . They have chosen members of the Conference Committee to work out those issues. I believe the momentum to get things done is what is causing enough pressure that it would cause some of these members to say they have certain red lines and certain leap back off and try to figure out a way to make sure to make sure they have the same goal, which is to put a desk. N the there will be concessions mostly by the house because the house has a bigger margin. The Senate Passed within one vote margin. They take on a lot of the things of the cent that the senate pushed forth. Vonnie thank you.

Overall, production level is going to be a little less. A lot of information is coming and rigs are not producing as much. That count is overshadowed by opec really conforming and some production cuts from iraq that we have seen. That is why we are at the lower portion of the range between 57 and 59. We have been at that all the way before thanksgiving. Above 59 on friday, that is why we have this pullback this morning. It hasnt found a nice little hammer in here . There is a little bit of a pattern especially with the brexit news and the bullish sentiment with the euro. A great opportunity around 57 to 57 handle and play the range. Low 57.

Nearterm, these are some of the factors for real estate in the united states. As the year comes to a close. Lets bring in the head of americas real estate for deutsche asset manager. Europe, in the u. S. , in right . That is right. A fascinating of the you for you are not which that hot on commercial real estate the limit comes to real two retails, you are market neutral. Yes, we are. We have been that way throughout the challenges the market has faced. If you look at the Retail Market as a whole, clearly there are coming as a result of the ecommerce preference of shopping for the consumer. As a backdrop, retail comes as a private Real Estate Market have decreased 2. 2 this year. The 10 year he stole her goal average come it is equal to the 10 year historical average. There are Different Levels of performance throughout the Retail Sector. There is the highend luxury sector, the neighborhood and community sector, and those are performing differently and we have preferences in that regard. Geographic preferences as well. Where do you like it, in the u. S. , or both . What kind are you going for . You are right that selection makes a big deal when youre choosing retail today. The tenants that are doing the best in the current environment are tenets that are on the channel, the have brickandmortar as well and are offering Ecommerce Solutions for their customers. They are retailers that really understand the value of the top 10 of the customer base, which drives about 50 of overall sales and retailers have figured out that if they can determine what the customer will buy before they walk into the or click on line, they can have a basket list of about 20 , which translates translates into Significant Growth for the retailer. Retailers offering good apps and and loyalty, programs are the types of tenets that we like an hour Retail Centers. To me gateway versus regional markets. Which do you prefer . Retail is different from a number of other sectors. The Retail Market has an driven by incomes in population. We prefer gateway markets as a whole but retail in some quiteary markets can be good because incomes and population will support a Retail Centers performance. Mark any favorite repick in the retail or industrial sector . In the Retail Sector come i would stick to today, the regional mall operators as well before, those focused on necessity retail. The neighborhood and community centers. Market for industrial is and thesitive challenges are the tailings for the Industrial Market today. I like the industrial sector from front to back. Today. Solid sector play vonnie where are you turning negative . Apartments, you are very underweight as well. What about apartments . Is it because we are seeing new construction and these will be moving out into their own homes . Will the tax plan change that question mark that . It is yet to be seen what will happen with the tax plan. The twok between bills, the house in the senate. But you are right that we are underweight the multifamily sector and you are right about why. It is supply. In the last 20 years, we have not delivered the type of new product into the market that we will deliver in 2017. Were delivering our third apartments in 2017 then were delivered in any time in the last 20 years. She is having an impact on rental growth. The demand story is still quite robust, supply story is impacting the ability to grow and therefore that is driving our inability to push the return. The Office Sector has a different challenge. If you look at office using weloyment in the markets recover, it is at its peak if not hire and that is not translating into net new users ofn because office space are much more densely populated than in the past. Vonnie how does 55 billion compared to other parts of the cycle . Is it more allocated to real estate than it has been, or opposite, and what kinds of returns have you seen for that . The overall market and core real estate in the first three quarters of the year is has produced over 6 total return with half of that being income. It is continuing to drive a fair amount of demand for real estate from global investors. Is difficult to find a replacement that generates the same level of income in total return or, said differently, that delivers the same kind of concern and risk than any other asset classes. We saw a little bit of pullback in the growthuse of capital coming in. But the Third Quarter picks back up at a dramatically in the Fourth Quarter thus far has been pretty steady, similar to the Third Quarter. Continue ill continue to see flows in the next 12 to six months. Real estate performs well when the economy performs well. There is a correlation of about. 7 to gdp. Expecting, we think we will see the Real Estate Market perform well and we think that will drive into the real estate space. Vonnie we know what will be assuming all passes. Onl it have a major impact the structure of it . I do not believe so. A couple of things are positive for the sector. But there could be some positives for the multifamily sector as a result of what is happening with deductions through the current will. Vonnie all right. Thank you. Here, gettingp hammered again.

It seems him as bit too late to downgrade the stoxx. There is some negative out there. Investors punishing the stock. This is a favorite of the shorts. Mark can you enlighten us on the companys debt structure and why it is such an issue. Abigail a few weeks ago, when we were talking about provident, there was an analyst at park west barclays talking about the fundamental business and a major concern is outstanding debt. This company has nearly 2 billion in debt, they have a little more than 200 million in cash. That is not a great equation. If we take a look at the debt structure for this company, here in 2018, they they relatively small amount of debt. 2019 and this is where the analysts are concerned. If more than 250 million in debt. Right now they are fundamentally having issues not performing in terms of cash flow the way analysts would like them to. They dont have enough cash on hand to retire that debt. If they are not able to come of their liquidity concerns and a big revolver in 2020. A lot of concerns about whether they will pay be able to make us credit payments on time.

Mark from bloombergs new European Headquarters in london, im mark barton. Ets get back to Brexit Theresa may is telling her cabinet the deal is very close. She expects to reconvene talks with the eu later this week. Joining us for more insights on euro paschi to after brexit, former nato secretarygeneral and former Prime Minister of denmark. Thank you for joining us. Lets start with brexit. Blip or was it something more serious in the in this attempt to move on to the next round, the next big issue that is trade between eu and the u. K. . I do believe that the eu and the u. K. Will move forward after the summit next week, i think the most difficult issue right now is the irish border. Because it is like squaring the circle. How can the eu u. K. Leave the eu and still have a soft order . I guess they will find a twostep solution. They will find some language to satisfy all parties and then a final solution will be found once the longterm agreement between the u. K. And the eu has been found. Vonnie were just here mark we are going from theresa may that she is confirmed talks with European Commission will be taking place by the end of the week. The options you have given, is that palatable to the Northern Irish party that is propping up the conservative right now . Anders yes, i think so. They will have to find a solution and some language can theound that will satisfy dup party and then i do believe then a final solution cannot be a more firmwe have solution as regard to longterm trade agreement between the European Union and the u. K. Because the border between ireland and the u. K. Will very much depend on which trade agreement will be found. What language or what situation do you think what actually satisfy everybody . Checkpoints . I did not hear the last part of your question. Vonnie im asking how you achieve a hard border and a soft border at the same time. That is exactly the question. How can you leave the eu and still have a socalled soft border. I think all parties, both the u. K. And the eu and all parties involved in the irish question want to preserve what has been called the good friday agreement. However, i am a bit surprised that this question has been foot put in the first basket of issues to be solved because it is to square the circle. But, i think some language could be found here now and then we can move on to negotiate what would be the longterm agreement between the u. K. And eu and then a final solution to the border issue. Vonnie i would love your thoughts on the infidelity in germany. Instability in germany. Is the Franco German alliance in trouble now . Is Angela Merkels chancellorship weakened . Anders no, i think Angela Merkel is still one of the very strong european leaders. French andk the german model will remain the driving force within the eu. Here now, the germans are focused on the coalition talks. Once they have been concluded and the another new government has been established, the german french motor will this again and i think speed will be higher thanks to president macrons reform proposals. I would expect the eu to move fast forward. Mark on germany, you said this two an interview that is a germany trapped germany is walking into ended could have consequences for its neighbor. Is germany to naive in its dealings with russia . Thats it is my clearview it has no commercial purpose, it is a clear political project and it will contradict all efforts to make the eu less dependent on imported russian gas. I dont think it will be appropriate to move forward on a project in the current environment of sanctions against russia. We all know that germanys neighbors to the east and north are very much concerned about this project. I am here in germany to appeal to the german politicians to stop the project.
