Not just the riksbank, but also the norges bank. I want to show you whats happening to the european markets. This is how were looking. Were probably unchanged we can bring up the heat map there you go inching slightly to the upside dominated by earnings today. Banks especially theyre the biggest faller on the sector al basis lets show you how were shaping up for the trading day these are the indices. Were pretty much all in the green, only with marginal increases to the upside. The ftse 100 up by 0. 25 the xetra dax up by 0. 2 still some caution ahead of that ecb meeting and no major positioning or risk taking in the markets. I mentioned the banks, they are underperforming. Lets get to the biggest fallers when it comes to sector basis. Banks, one of them to the down side on the upside, Household Goods and basic resources doing better. Back to the Banking Sector shares in Deutsche Bank are down in early trading after the flagship german lender saw revenues fall as it undergoes restructuring and deals with a Challenging Market revenues up, bonds and currency market dropped amid decreased activity Deutsche Bank shaw Third Quarter net profit rise to 649 million euros. Do stay tuned, well hear from the cfo on street signs at 10 45 cet. Shares in barclays are among the worst performing in the stoxx 600 today after a weak performance in its Investment Banking division Third Quarter profits were well below expectations jes staley blamed the lackluster performance on low volumes santander reported a 14 drop in the Fourth Quarter citing restructuring costs excluding these costs, underlying profit was up 17 , boosted by solid performance in brazil santander also received a capital ratio topping 10 . Sticking with the Banking Sector, cnbc has an exclusive interview with bank of americas chairman and ceo, Brian Moynihan happening at 6 00 cet today. Lets come back to our top story. The euro climbed to a sixday high fueled by expectations that the ecb will lay out its plan to taper qe today the Consensus Forecast is for the bank to reduce its Asset Purchase Program to 30 billion euros a month from 60 billion and extend it for nine months through september of next year ahead of that decision, lets look at yields bunds opened slightly weaker, but not too much of a change when it comes to the yield picture. German bund yields at 48 basis points will they make a run for 50 . Thats the key question. Annette is in frankfurt and can tell us what to expect from the ecb meeting today. It will definitely be a balancing act for mario draghi yes, it will be definitely a balancing act for mario draghi what he does not want is a tightening of financial conditions and perhaps a rise in Interest Rates on the market, because that would dampen financial conditions in the eurozone for what to expect, im joined by the managing partner. Lets talk about your expectations for todays meeting. I think the ecb will enter into more gradual tightening they will try to avoid the tapering thats been something draghi has been afraid of given that hes not exactly convinced that the economic recovery is sustained, and he will be, you know, quite a bit reluctant to call it a taper. What do you think well hear in terms of run rate per month and also length when it comes to the extension of the program i think it will be more gradual. Probably from 60 billion a month current time to 40 billion, 30 billion for an additional year so an extended period of quantitative easing son te inin card. We see the euro appreciating ahead of the meeting why is that. I think its because of the economic recovery. Its been holding back a little bit because of the political environment, namely the situation facing in spain. However, i dont think the ecb is completely separate the fed is on tightening track, and also bank of england is set to increase rates. So, ecb sooner or later will follow that path which markets do you think will be affected by the trading decision today my personal opinion is corporates dont need Corporate Bond buying. They have access to plenty of cash and therefore theres no need for the ecb to buy stuff. If there is tightening it, will be towards Government Bonds. I think Corporate Bonds will be less affected. We see some moves in the bund, so the German Government bond market. Do you think well see gradual tightening here . I think so. The tenyear bunds are trading around 50 basis points there were three attempts to try to see it break through the 50 basis points this time theres a move in excess of 50 basis points for some time. However, by historical matters, this is low yields, that would reflect still an Economic Situation which is worse than i can see. If you had a question to mr. Draghi what would be your question my question would be what does it take to remove this flooding of markets with money lets look at the potential scarcity issue the ecb says they dont see it and theyre not acting because of scarcity. Whats your opinion for 2018 there are numbers floating that theres 250 to 300 billion euro in bonds available thats the problem. I think its not getting better. Also germany is the most active buyer of the Government Bonds, and of course, you know, there is significant new issuance going ahead. But less so than many anticipated. So the scarcity of assets to buy will drive to a certain extent and force the hands of mr. Draghi do you expect market moving elements out of the qe session today q a, i should say i think so. I would expect, you know, theres a tendency of mr. Draghi to kind of overpower and always try to smooth down the Capital Markets. Therefore i think hell be very afraid and reluctant to increase uncertainty. But i still think that a tapering, whether you call it or not, will still weigh on markets. So, to sum it up, you think wi shou we should be prepared for a dovish surprise . I think more dovish than most analysts expect. Its the start of a reverse in Monetary Policy. Thank you very much thank you with that, im sending it back over to you well bring you an interview with the cfo of Deutsche Bank. I think thats in a half hours time, quarter to 10 00 local time very busy day for you, annette in frankfurt we will also bring you the ecb decision and Mario Draghis press Conference Live in our special at 13 30 cet i will host along with joumanna bercetche. In other central bank news, the riksbank held Interest Rates steady at high now 0. 5 , adding that it does not expect to raise rates until the middle of next year they are prepared to implement further easing if necessary and that the purchase of Government Bond also continue until yearend in norway, there was an Interest Rate decision and not an exciting one. The gonorges bankleft the rate unchanged at 0. 5, saying it was unanimous. All right. Do email the show let us know your guesses for what the taper will look like.

Welcome back saudi arabia is open for business well, thats the message from the countrys finance minister as the oilrich state presented its plans for Economic Reforms in front of an audience of bigname investors it includes an expansion of its Sovereign Wealth Fund to 4 400 billion by 2020 and transforming into a hightech business hub. Three women engineers are suing uber for gender discrimination they say the compensation and workplace practices discriminate against women and people of color. The women claim this has resulted in them missing out on promotions and benefits. Uber did not comment on the lawsuit. Hadley is in riyadh where saudi leaders pledged to shed the kingdoms ultimate conservative image and deliver more opportunities for women hadley, take it away good morning im joined by the ceo and founder of thrive, air ran thria huffington people are wondering if softbank will demand a discount in terms of what they do next with uber, can you tell us about the timeline of the deal and when it will happen. We dont know yet masa son is hear, dara is here, the ceo of uber. There are ongoing conversations. Im sure you will be hearing as soon as we hear at the board level. In terms of management style changing, youre right we recognized based on the data we collected, that the delusion that you need to burn out in order to succeed is incredibly costly to businesses because it affects healthcare costs, it affects productivity and engagement, retention and recruitment. More and more companies now, including here, we talked to a lot of executives at aramco, they are looking at how can they invest in the Human Capital as much as theyre investing around technologies and automation and the future because the future of work is going to involve putting human beings at the center and recognizing that otherwise you youre going to have a lot of disengaged, unproductive employees. Even with all the incredible advances of technology, the most creative part of work is going to be left to human beings when we talk about those management structures, how badly was uber hurt with what we saw over the last several weeks inoo whats interesting is uber has kept growing through all the problems of the past six months. Now with dara khosrowshahi, the new ceo in place, uber has already been making a lot of changes, both internally around culture, processes, training managers and externally in terms of relationships with drivers, riders so all of us at the board are optimistic about the future, all our riders, 65 million of them really love the product. And we want to make sure they love the brand and company as well youre not concerned that the basically the thoughts of these consumers surrounding whats happened at uber are going to impact your bottom line well, it hasnt happened. We had incredible results. Growing in multiple cities had 5 billion rides. So clearly all the changes that have happened in the last few months have made it very clear to riders that were serious about change, that we have accepted a lot of the mistakes of the past, and that all the work being done at the Human Resources level, at the Management Training level, they have made that very clear that the transformation is happening. You dont think this is going to affect your overall valuation . No. When you look at whats happening in saudi arabia in particular, you were on the board of uber with the head of the Public Investment fund and also the head of softbank, so many big names coming to this country, so much opportunity where do you see opportunity for thrive global . Masa is not on the board of uber, they made a 3 3. 5 billion investment in uber at the last valuation. But you had the opportunity to get very close with him. I think yasser has been incredible on the board and what he has built here, what he created with this conference has sent a powerful message that saudi is transforming. A lot of people who came from around the world are really serious about investing in the region very optimistic about the future including a lot of Women Entrepreneurs have been really excited to meet them here, and to see how they feel that the change, is that are happening are going to change their opportunities in the region. What weve seen over the last couple of months in terms of the big scandal in hollywood over Harvey Weinstein, you said over the last couple of days that saudi arabia has a moment in history here to avoid the mistakes that so many western companies have in terms of this Corporate Culture, changing the Corporate Culture and the corporate dynamic. Are we at a watershed moment thats what were working on with thrive global you asked earlier what were doing. We believe when Companies Avoid the mistakes of so many western companies around burnout, around employees being always on, which leads to mistakes, which leads to loss of productivity, Terrible Health outcomes, et cetera, saudi arabia has the opportunity to avoid those mistakes at thrive global, we work with companies around the world to help them create thriving cultures where they can actually work on this connection between the wellbeing of employees and their performance. The two things are intimately tied together. While for decades in the west we thought that there was a tradeoff between them. You had to sacrifice one for the sake of the other. Now with all the data that shows this is not the case they have an opportunity here to invest in Human Capital at the same time theyre investing in other technologies of the future given what youve seen as a member of the board of uber, but also in terms of your work with the huffington post, do you think theres going to be more revelations like weve seen with Harvey Weinstein coming down the pike obviously a lot it coming into the light right now were living through this period especially because of social media its hard for companies and ceos to hide behind amazing advertising and Public Relations teams now whatever needs to come out into the light will come out into the light but thats not bad when you talk about not just the entertainment industry, the finance industry, big business, this is not just something that happens in hollywood, is it . Absolutely. This has been very much across the board. Its just that for decades it was kept in the shadows. And now thats changing, which is becoming a catalyst for dramatic changes you said no more intelligent or brilliant jerks no more brilliant jerks theres been the cult of top performer, whoever was delivering results, theyre allowed to get away with a lot of bad behavior. And i think theres no tolerance for that now Arianna Huffington, ceo of thrive global, thank you very much for joining us. Carolin, back to you. Andrew ross sorkin caught up with softbanks ceo, masa son and asked him what future of vehicle automation looks like. The usage of the vehicle is going to change. It was a premise that everybody has to own the car no we get rides on taxi, bus, train. To it just is extending with the power of internet a little more convenient, then later on, autonomous driving is going to happen final question, 2050, are robots going to be better investors than you in many of the subjects compared to the index and so on, they will be definitely smarter than us. However if you have to envision ten years, 30 years later some at least some human listen have a better imagination than them. So its not the end. The power of brain has no limit. The imagination that we can have has no limit so we are also going to improve our imagination and our feeling, gut feeling. If you watch the star wars movie, dont just look at what you can see. Listen to the force. Lets come back to corporate earnings we had a whole lot of them this morning. Munich re saying the impact of Hurricane Season in the u. S.

Good morning it is thursday, not just any thursday, its ecb thursday. If youre just tuning in, lets show you what u. S. Futures are up to. The picture is looking friendly. The dow jones seen up by 29 points after yesterdays sharp fall we were down by 112 points u. S. Stocks having their worst day in two months yesterday. This is mainly because we had some weaker than expected corporate earnings boeing being the main culprit. There were also concerns about bond yields rising and that dampened sentiment for stocks. The s p 500 een up seen up by 3. The nasdaq up by 11 points were looking at a fairly bright picture for the european markets. The xetra dax is up by 0. 2 . Cac 40 rising by 0. 3 . And were also very much driven by whats happening on the earnings front today well get to that in a minute. I do want to tell you banks are underperforming today given the drag coming from barclays and Deutsche Bank. When it comes to the fx market, euro dollar trading close to a one week high, 1. 1814. We are waiting for that ecb meeting and that will fire the starting gun on tapering the big question is what will the composition be like and the duration be and what will Forward Guidance look like as well quick look at the dollar against the japanese yen unchanged as well. So at 113. 69 the dollar taking maybe a little bit of a breather that recent rally yesterday. It was still supported by tenyear yields rising to a seven month high, but theyve come down in trading speaking of yields, this is the picture i want to show you where the tenyear treasury yield is trading at we have it at 2. 4281 . Little move when it comes to bund prices and bund yields. Were at 47. 9 basis points so very close to the 50 level. Well see whether we can hit that on todays session. Lets get back to the u. S. A vote in the u. S. House of representatives later today on a budget plan is set to close after some republicans vowed to oppose it in a bid to protect a popular tax break. The budget plan is seen as crucial to president trumps proposed tax cuts. The infighting in the Republican Party comes a day after the president declared that there was great unity in the party tracie potts is live for us in washington great unity, doesnt quite look like it, does it well, there are at least two republican senators who have been outspokenly critical of president trump. His take on this is that other than those two, its, as he put t a lo it, a love fest going on others are now saying theyre talking about things openly that have been discussed in private for a while. The big question is do the private concerns about president trump, concerns about his character, about how hes relating people here on the hill, do they translate into votes . Maybe, maybe not we dont know. Whats happening today, the house is expected to vote on this budget passed by the senate that leaves open 1 1. 5 trillion for a tax cut. So two separate things the budget has to pass if it passes the house it can go to the president s desk for signature. Next week, we start to get details of this tax plan that republicans are trying to put forth. Not a lot of information out on it yet but the president tweeted that 401 k retirement accounts are safe people wouldnt have to worry about them they would not be touched. However he now says that they may be up for negotiation. One of the things theyre looking at is the idea of lowering taxfree contributions and the tax income that would come in for that could balance and pay for this tax cut i fwes theres soguess theree republicans who are not even interested in a compromise for the benefit of the American People because they have so much personal aversion to donald trump. Do you think much of that is playing into what the tax bill will look like well, it could. Dont forget democrats some of their votes may be needed democrats are saying if they dont have input on the tax bill, theyre not going to vote on it. A lot of different moving parts here next week is when well actually for the first time expect to see the actual language, so we can see what republicans are proposal thank you very much for that.

The largest beermaker increased its cost savings target and saw profit s rise in brazil for the first time in two years. Shares in Deutsche Bank are down in early trade after the flagship german lender saw revenues fall after it undergoes restructuring and dealing with a Challenging Market shares off by 2. 2 the only thing that missed was revenues Everything Else beat still investors did not look past the difficult environment that we saw for the bank in the Third Quarter. Annette spoke to the cfo, james von moltke and asked when revenues would pick up the Capital Markets environment has been weak the last several quarters. We look for that to pick up. It depends on events and investor engagement. Until that time we need to manage costs carefully you see declines in adjusted cost base, but also significant declines in total expenses reflecting reductions in severance and litigation costs lets look at Investment Banking revenues compared to wall street banks, there was really astonishing weak with the drop in 60 in equity revenues, and i think even more when it comes to fixed income why is that . Why are the others so much stronger fixed income markets, we performed in line with our peers. Revenue performance was down 24 . If you take the same segment take as our peers have, which is fixed income sales and trading and the financial segment, so 24 reflects the market environment were in in equities, youre correct, we had a weaker quarter than some of our peers that reflects the idiosyncratic environment we found ourselves in, particularly in prime finance which has been a lagging indicator as we rebuild margins. We think were seeing progress there. That leads to some confidence about the future the weakness in Corporate Finance or advisory fees, is that also because of the lack of confidence from the the blow to the business last year or another reason for that . We see that also as a lagging. Those are two businesses where the lacking indicator is what we would see. In origination and advisory, that reflects mandates awarded in the Fourth Quarter of last year that went to negotiation, signing and closing. The fee event is on the closing. Were seeing that weakness we would expect to see. Some leading indicators give us more confidence about the future for example, our announced m a backlog, if youd like, deals that we represented clients on that are now announced is up 20 versus last year that creates then revenues in future quarters. That sounds promising lets look at the ecb withdrawing monetary stimulus. I think youre saying youre positively exposed to a rise in Interest Rates thats somewhere in the future would you also feel positive impact from a withdrawal of the monetary stimulus . So, two parts to that question first the Interest Rates and how it impacts our business. In our retail and commercial businesses what you see is a headwind from Interest Rates as old Interest Rate hedges, fall off we have an ongoing head wind, th that will turn at some point where we see successes is the ability of our businesses to offset that revenue impact with fee and commission income. So were pleased with that performance. At some point that will turn a corner and well see growth. The stimulus is a much more complicated question it depends on how successfully the Central Banks remove the stimulus as you see in the u. S the u. S. Federal reserve has been successful in signaling to the market how it is theyll remove that stimulus that still is to come in the ecb. So theres uncertainty as to how that will play out that uncertainty could help our businesses, because again were talking about volatility being low in the market. Thats been a damper on revenues lets get out to annette standing by in frankfurt one issue that usually pops up with Deutsche Bank is, unfortunately, still litigation. Overnight they settled another case with the u. S. Of 250 million. Thats small compared to the big one two years ago. Where do we stand on litigation when it comes to Deutsche Bank we have multiple cases outstanding. But is there light at the end of the tunnel, if you will . Yeah. I think theres light at the end of the tunnel. One phrase in the Statement Today on the letter to Share Holders from john cryan is saying out of those 20 big litigation cases he inherited, or which was there at beginning of 2016, they have solved more than 13. So another 7 are outstanding i think theyre making Good Progress when it comes to getting rid of the litigation problem that the bank is having. Of course its not over yet. One big case, the settlement with russia is still outstanding. Having said that, i would say, yes, thats a big problem for the bank another bigger problem is the revenue line other banks are hit as well, but not as bad as Deutsche Bank. Theres also pointing criticism that john cryan may not be the right person to revive revenue at the bank. Especially within the Investment Bank thats what im hearing from analysts his character is humble. Hes not as flamboyant as other guys on wall street. This might ab problbe a problemg forward. Look at the share price where they are they have not budged a lot when it comes to price development. So john cryan will face a tough Time Next Year in case the share price has not recovered until the agm in may of 2018 having said that the bottom line is the positive sides is that they have done a good job when it comes to Cost Reduction that was a huge problem with the bank for all these years none of these ceos managed to reduce costs at the Investment Bank they had always cost income ratios far higher than the competition. Thats a positive they managed to cut them now. Annette, i want to come back to the speculation about the future of john cryan and who will be sitting at the helm of the company. Is there a viable alternative now to john cryan . We know that hes in the middle of this restructuring drive. Would it make sense to remove him from that position, even though the company, yes, it is struggling when it comes to some league tables, would it be rise to disrupt him in that restructuring drive . I personally would say no hes actually the first one who really restructures the bank and cuts costs ever since ive been covering that bank and thats been many years. You have to give him credit for some years Going Forward he just said in an interview he wants to stay on for another three years to get to fulfill his mandate and get the job done in that letter to shareholders i was referring to earlier, which is posted on Deutsche Banks ho home page, he also said that never promised that restructuring Deutsche Bank, a huge bank, will not take quarters, it will take years in order to really restructure the bank, to put them on a solid footing, also for the future of course there are problems the bank cannot solveitself. That is the low volatility in the market, and that is most likely also induced by the ultra loss Monetary Policy stance by so many Central Banks, especially the ecb one can also argue once they are starting to exit their ultra loose Monetary Policy stance that could make life a bit easier for the banks back to you. Thank you very much for that analysis appreciate that. Thank you for bringing that interview with the cfo. Breaking news from the Cloud Software company, s. A.
