The earnings came in at 326 Million Euros. They have beaten the Second Quarter adjusted number. They are cutting the fullyear forecast. That is the critical message here. Secondquarter sales also missed 9. 8 5 million euro. Anna, it slides to 61 million. Sorry, that is 61 million versus 38 million last year. It is an adjustment number which is the most critical issue.

Global news each day and everyday. This is bloomberg news. You can find more by using our function. Anna thank you. Lets see what is going on in asia. It is interesting to see the japanese asset really standing apart from the rest of the asia story in the trading session, although that is because of the Dollar Strength as well. It really is. We saw the dollar rise on the speculation we could see two more rate hikes. That is put more pressure on the yen which has put more so on the nikkei. Those gains in japan has helped the rest of the region which had a bit of a volatile start. We have seen the market in china really in and out of positive and negative territory. The cpi number coming out of china 2. 3 in april year on year which is online with what the market was looking for. The number is still less than expected and we have seen some gains coming through. Pricetory of the crude playing on Energy Sectors putting the han seng down. Philippines coming back online after its election. Up by half of 1 .

I cut up with the chief global economist for s p global and he said he didnt get some hard from these numbers. Stephen you have seen in the slowing economy, a firming of inflation. Chinese officials, they hate and reflation. Inflation. It is still well below the government target of 3 for the full year but it is at 3. 3 for three straight months. Coming from a low of 1. 3 in october. Now at 2. 3 for three straight months. Commodity prices have come up. The prices have gone up and food prices are up. Food was up 7. 3 . Pork up 7 from a year ago levels. That might even be a concern. The government tapping already into its strategic port reserves to meet demands. There is an inflation. But, on the other side, of the factory gate deflation persists for three straight years. 50 months in a row, four years and two months. It is narrowing. I think the commodity price rise has gone up and that has taken a little, increased the cost. Deflation persists at the factory floor. Anna we will see how much that takes up in the commodity prices. Interesting commodities we have seen but we will see how that plays out. Thank you very much. The ceo of adeco. The Company Revealed first earnings. He joins us on the phone.

It is a continuous recovery. We see that in different segments. Automotive being very strong. We now see the recovery of the construction and the construction is for france, as a country, but also as industry the first segment. Slight improvement of the situation which is good. And should also accelerate in the second half of the year because there are a lot of programs being built. Anna let me ask you about those subjects. Do you see clients in the u. K. Holding back on hiring even more than they were say a few months ago because of the looming vote . Alain regarding the brexit, we have a natural impact of this growing int uncertainty.

It is the bane of every bankers life. Are we at peak regulatory costs . Patrick good morning and good to be on your show. I wish we could say we are at the peak of the costs, especially after having a 300 million increased yearoveryear, the majority of which we booked in the First Quarter. The three elements are in place. Regulation and bank taxes. I hope it is only business growth. Manus what well done, by the way, on offloading you have a few quid, euros in the bank. What you going to be . Take me forward . Patrick well, we have a strategy for our bank which sent out to be one of the leaders in innovation, one of the leaders in putting Digital Banking first. We have a strategy which is growth. We are achieving significant levels of growth, even in the First Quarter with 7 billion lending growth which is above the rate of last year. Increasingly, we are doing that with an increase in interest market. Our strategy is very fruit. We are pleased with the execution of the strategy. You have a 60 pay yet on your dividend. Others are either not paying at all or perhaps under pressure. Could you stick to a 60 share out . Could you say what bank stock do i have to own . Can you stick to it . 65 ick well, it is a progressive dividend policy. We dont have a payout ratio per se, but it is very healthy. We are committed to the strategy and achieve that last year and aim to commit to it. Entirety of our profits this quarter to put it aside. We are fully committed to that strategy and the results will enable us to meet it. Manus i went to get under the hood slightly. I want to talk to about your reserve. Are based on reserves. They are volatile as heck. My question to you is will you look at that loan book are you building up additional hedges . Are you scaling back your lending . Are you going in were other people fear to tread . Patrick i mean, within our own business, we have reserved lending at 2. 8 billion which is exposed to the oil price risk. We are senior lenders so we take collateral on our business. We rank ahead of more unsecured bonds. Like our the book is stable. Manus no addiational provisions . Patrick maybe one or two but nothing significant. We have a stress test which we communicated before. We would only start to encounter material pressure on this if oil prices are sustainably below 30 a barrel. It is considerably above that right now. Manus we are right now.

We have seen a range of 2. 3 to 2. 8 billion so they are coming in at the bottom and although that might not be a surprise to too many people because back in april, we heard from the management of the business that the 2. 3 to 2. 8 range was ambitious. They were at that time confident of a stable dividend so they have a confidence level for the business. A combined ratio of around 95 they have seen that at 98 . We are getting profit numbers for the First Quarter as well. This is a business that is handing over the top management position.

We have specific brazilian arkets alling over mixedsignal of the impeachment of the president. The shanghai composite had its worst to a loss in 10 weeks yesterday. The rally we saw in april looks like it is starting to unwind, but more broadly, there is more growth concern. Anna the dollar rebound since the start of the month. Thank you. Just over six weeks to go before the u. K. Hold a referendum. We are joined this morning to discuss how British Trade might be affected. Debatesuests from the but very different perspectives. From the former ceo of u. K. Trade and investment and norton. Ander,ide here is alex the high commissioner for new zealand for the United Kingdom. Thank you for joining us. Andrew, you first. A lot has been set over recent days of what the tree dale deal of tree the eu could look like. Give us your thoughts of what any kind of relationship between the eu and the rest of the u. K. Would look like. Timew it will take a long and we will have a long period of uncertainty. The thing i have been most worried about is the turbulence, not just the days and weeks, but for months in the currency markets and with uncertainty about what trade arrangements will operate under. Of course, nothing happens on june 24 because britain is still a member of the European Union. We still trade under the trade arrangements. Skeptics and want to go straight towards the announcing our relationship with the European Union and that will create uncertainty. Even if wiser heads prevail and we stay in and we will use a lot of processes which has been set up. That sets up two years of negotiations. At the end of which, there is a precipice which britain falls off because europe could impose a new trading arrangement. Immediate is turbulence and uncertainty in the markets. That is continuing along an acrimonious trade negotiation which ends up with britain having bad deals. Anna you have a lot of experience in doing deals with new zealand and the tpp which is something you have been involved with extensively. These things take a long time to achieve, trade agreements. Indeed. I was working with tpp back in the late 1990s. It took until last year to get an agreement finally signed off and it is not yet ratified. Trade is the lifeblood of prosperity for people. That is the big worry. The uncertainty were brings a pullout of the eu. I have been following trade strategy for years and i think the current strategy trade for all amounts from the trade commissioners talking about, it is a very good strategy. Focusing on services and the asiapacific region were Global Growth has shifted to. At the moment, it has caused a lot of disruption were britains a pullout. An interesting perspective because anna you represent a country because you deal with a larger country which is china. A trade deal with china which traded 11 times the amount of benefits to the new zealand economy then you would have expected. Almost an argument that plays into the hands of that because there are many on the brexit that say if we leave, we have clarity of purpose and we can do more trade deals with china. Zealand worked for years on getting into that trade agreement. It takes years to get those sort of things in place and certainly trade agreements do deliver far more analysis. In new zealands case with china, 11 times more benefit than the analysts first predicted. That is why trade agreements are so important and that is why the uncertainty that were the u. K. To break out, the uncertainty of the trade agreements would create uncertainty. Andrew he did negotiate a deal with china and new zealand has one. So does iceland. These are very imbalanced deals. Trade negotiations are an emotional thing. There is no room for sentiments and the trade deal. The more powerful country, economy gets the better deal. Withu look at chinas deal switzerland, china gets complete access to the swiss market. The swiss get very little access to the chinese market. If britain were to go out to china and say we want to trade you with you, lets do it, we could have one. Of course, but it would be imbalanced and britain would be the loser. Anna im sure you would not describe your deal as imbalanced. Lockwood we probably got more from china than new zealand. Thatf the great things trade liberalization does is not just open up the market, it is how open peoples minds are two what is possible. Do theland has had to hard stuff on trade. We did not have many options. Anna thanks, but no thanks. Agreements ise people opening up to the world. Anna it is interesting what it does geopolitically. We had David Cameron putting forward a very passionate case yesterday. Rebuffed by boris johnson, of course, but says there are geopolitical reasons. International stability to stay in the eu. Do you think trade plays a role . Andrew i think it plays an enormous part. When you trade with the country, you are less likely to fight with them. Having a trade block like the European Union also keeps the peace. The whole International Geopolitical area is more stable when you have a big block like europe able to negotiate on even terms with a big bloc like america and china. I think trade i completely agree with lockwood that trade opens minds and contributes to peace, but it works best when you have two big blocs setting the standards and trading with each other rather than a fragmented trade world. Anna do you think trade is up against free trade, the concept of it has been attacked by president ial hopefuls and the u. S. And other parts of the world. Populist politicians criticizing the motivations behind free trade. It is a real worry. Lockwood growth and global trade has paused. We need to see progress. When the tpp was signed, we need to see progress. Im opal new zealand can negotiate a free trade negotiation. We are working towards that at the moment and we need to get some run on the board. The world needs to see trade agreements, trade liberalizing is not something that stops in its tracks. It is moving forward. It will give a big boost to the global economy. Danger there is a real that if britain votes to leave it union, that will that could lead to an implosion of the European Union. Other countries saying we want to leave. The whole construction of europe would then go into reverse. I think that would be dangerous for world trade. It will lead to a constriction of trade. It will increase we dont want globalization. That will be bad for business and bad for stability. Anna you have been working with a deal with the eu. How long will it last . Lockwood work is being done, prenegotiations at the moment. I expect i think the prenegotiation phase will be completed this year, i hope. I think it could move quite fast so long as we dont see the disruption of the u. K. Pulling out. I have to say, new zealand values the role they play in the eu. The u. K. Is a major player and brings tremendous value. Anna thank you very much for joining us to discuss this subject of trade in the brexit. Largest germanys steelmaker grapples. We will be talking to the cfo after the company cuts its profit forecast, next. Manus it is 1 49 a. M. In new york. The futures at the bottom of your screen. If you had not had enough, mr.

A cut its profit forecast to run minimum of 1. 4 billion euros compared to a previous of 1. 6 to 1. 9 when it comes to grappling with issues. We now speak to the cfo for the company. It is guido kerkhoff. Guido, looking at this guidance. The analysts are saying this is a bit of a shock. Sinceprices have rallied february my quite a reasonable amount that you are cutting guidance. How worried should we be that this is the minimum guidance, 1. 4 billion . Guido let me clearly say we are a diversified production. Our business has given a solid performance. Nevertheless, in the material business, we saw a high price in margin pressure. We have expected thats why we gave up the guidance in the range. Longer to realize its a and we came down to lower levels. We currently do see a recovery, but please bear in mind, our Financial Year and of of september it comes a little late for us to bring our guidance of 1. 6 to 1. 9. It is not a shock for the market that we went down to at least 1. 4. Ityou look at the consensus, was something below 1. 5. Manus not to look at reuters polls, we look at bloomberg polls. That get into your perspective lets get into the perspective. Company theanced lets talk about the steel business. They saw a sentiment improvement. Would you concur with that . Have we seen a flaw in the market . Guido yes, but it depends on the market. If you look at the u. S. Or brazilian or worldwide export market. There is a sharper price uptick then europe. Even in europe, we have seen increase in prices. Manus consolidation everybody calls for it and wants it. Will you or what could you do to make this deal . Everybody is talking about it. When will you do a deal and what will it take for you to do a deal . Guido i dont want to comment on speculation. Been a we have longstanding company that said there is overcapacity driven by europe and china. We would like to contribute. In the meantime, we do what we can. We are among the most profitable steel producers in europe. We have improved our conditions further. If there is an opportunity to participate in consolidation, we will take it into account. The will not increase speculation around that. Once we have to say something, we will let you know. Manus this is quite difficult to say for an irish man who works for a company that is based in london. Steelmise of the British Business is nirvana for you, isnt it . Guido British Steel has been underperforming for some time. Manus you need to take it out of the system, isnt it . Come offpacity has to someday but it depends on where you compete and what market. It is not so much in the u. K. The u. K. Has not been selling into the u. K. So, therefore, there is not much overlap into the mainland of europe. Manus obviously, you have the other side of the business. The industrial side of the business. Agreement. Ew trade if we voted for brexit and had a trade deal with the United Kingdom, would you support a very open trade deal with the United Kingdom . Guido always. Germany is exporting companies. We like free trade everywhere. We want to compete on par level. If we have a level playing field, we are always supportive of freetrade around the world. Manus very fair comment. Thank you very much. Short in terms of the questions. Guido kerkhoff joining me on the phone from germany. Anna, back to you. Im off to emirates. That. You enjoy francine is back. Loss.

From an Industrial Production is declining more than was expected thatrch, a second drop could signal slackening demand in the european economy. This dropped 1. 3 from the prior month. Economists in a Bloomberg Survey had predicted a 0. 2 decline in this particularly volatile guage. This volatile data does not paint a consistent picture with what we heard yesterday. It is interesting to see how the market will deal with all of that. Easyjet is giving us their revenue numbers, 1. 7 7 billion pounds in firstquarter revenue. It is just a little bit below estimates.

Lets get to japan now, where we are getting numbers from softbank. Give an update to the markets, softbank said that fourthquarter operating profits is coming in a 124. 2 billion yen. They are basically missing their four year profit estimate, but are raising their dividends. This was against the next location of 576. 5 billion yen. On the operating profit line, they are a touch above estimates, but not quite such a margin. Yen, based around their argentinian unit. This is an area of focus. They do not give a full year forecast, like many other japanese businesses. Talk about the reporting season europe. In munich clarifying their guidance to the markets. Thank you for joining us. You have said that your guidance is 2. 3 billion euros. That is reduced from the range to 2. 3 billion. You thought the previous range was ambitious. Yes, we are quite confident that we will achieve it. The reason why we made it more precise, a more precise prognosis, is because when we gave the prognosis of 2. 8 billion euros wiese subtracted charges. Now we take it in that that is the reason why we have moved it euros. Billion it is an ambitious target, but it is feasible. Anna in april you also said that management said they were confident the dividend would be stable. What can you say about the dividend today . The basis for the dividend is the lower gap Balance Sheet and it is very good shape. In my mind, there are no doubt that we can continue with the current dividend, at least. Anna how strongly is munich re committed to ownership of the business . Absolutely committed. We think that the integrated Business Model of primary insurance makes a lot of sense. Meanwhile, it has been copied by many other insurance groups. Borderline, between the two is somewhat blurring. Therefore, we believe in it and we are committed to it. Of theood the costs restructuring get any higher from here . It is not definite at the expect that there will be a lot of investments, which will give us good prospects for the future and it is worth the price, i would say. Anna we have seen a lot of volatility in the First Quarter and we know what that has done to your investments. Alliance did not have to write off what you did, one of your competitors. What sets you two apart . The difference is the kind of books they run. The reason for these impairments, last year it was dominated by very volatile markets and we changed our position and also, some stocks from one to the other. Therefore, we had relatively high use for some positions. That was the reason for these impairments. Anna joerg schneider, the cfo from munich re joining us on the phone. A next Credit Suisse posts second straight loss. Anna welcome back. You are watching countdown. 7 14 if you are watching in london. Aedit suiissse posting second loss. Says subdued market positions my continue for a while. Francine has been speaking to the cfo at the business, tidjane thiam. Francine good morning. A good set of results . We are pleased with the results. If you look at what we are trying to achieve, the group of divisions, for example, switzerland and asia pacific a very good quarter with strong inflows and stable or increasing margins. Which means, not only did we grow, but we have a very good quality. So, that is very pleasing. Altogether, we generated one billion swiss francs, which is a big number. I dont think we will get worse conditions in q1. We are on a 4 billion swiss francs trajectory. That does not seem so crazy anymore. So, that is pleasing. The Global Market restructuring has enhanced at a progressive pace. We already have 267 million u. S. Of savings. Our loss was exacerbated. Maximum loss is 50 of what it was, which is a very pleasing result. And ibcm is a great spot for the Investment Banking capital market. So, we have gained market share. We are up in revenue. We are now number four in the american mma. All of that is very good. Last but not least, the Capital Position has been preserved at the 11. 4 ratio. Few weeks ago that we had labor. We have been able to show in his quarter that in spite of the 1 billion,t half we are still going. Are preparing how . 16 . Went from 14 to this company has been able to increase revenue, decrease costs, and increase profits by 12 . Confidentso, you are that you can raise capital by other ways . We are confident that we are in a good position. We always have to caveat that by saying, if everything goes to plan. We are now in a good position. Remember that we came from 10. 001 . Francine what does that mean for your dividends . We said we would have a script for two years and we aimed to distribute 40 of the free cash flow, which we are still Going Forward with. We have very attractive investment properties. This quarter asia and 24 in international management. 16 in switzerland. In a country where entry rates are negative, 16 is very good. Is in asia is very good, as 24 in the international scheme. Return asy keen to much cash as possible, but it is important that we continue to invest in what is very attractive. Francine so, that will not takeaways from the capital . Yes, we can do both. The prices today, it is relatively reduced. There was a time in january or february were that thhere that t the case. March is better than february and april is better than march and in may, we are seeing some positive signs. We still remain cautious in terms of outlook. Sentiment feels fragile. Francine is it less volatile than what you were expecting . We dont want to make predictions, but the market is very sensitive. There is not much liquidity. Triggers a lot of volatility. Francine so, it is not easy to make money in the markets . No, but we have seen improvement from january and february. We are quite strong, up 16 . There are spots where we see strength, but then there are areas where we see weaker Global Growth. Things move around a lot. Francine you had 6000 job cuts this year. That was a target and we had done 3500. 58 into the target as of the First Quarter, which we think is progressing on target. We believe we have already done more than half of our net savings. We are confident we will meet the target. Always sorry to have to talk about job losses, but it is a price we have to pay to create the platform that we want for the future. We dont believe in the boom and bust model with great years in terrible years. To be successful we need a Strong Capital base. We need relatively stable in come streams, so not too volatile. And a something maybe we dont talk about enough, but Good Business conduct, good compliance, healthy growth. We need to protect the reputation of the bank, which is our most precious asset. First of all, our shareholders will say, no, we really think about serving our clients and making sure they are happy. Just to give you a concrete example, i always talk about the connection between the private bank and the investment bank. We need 4. 2 billion in asia for the First Quarter. People say, why dont you talk to the private bankers . We really believe in that model. We believe it works. We believe the numbers show that it works. And the potential longterm is huge and we have stable, high quality earnings. Say you dispose of assets that are not immediately connected to the core basis. Yes. Saw some peripheral activities. We are concentrating on switzerland. You are always working toward the 11 to 12 target, barring any major litigation. What kind of litigation are you worried about . You saw in our report we were quite extensive on where we stand in terms of litigation. The main one is the case, that we cannot comment on. We think 11. 4 is a comfortable position. We are the middle of the european peers, and that is where we want to be. Sitting at the bottom is uncomfortable and we had to get out of there. Francine are you happy with your liquid assets . Yes, and the team is very happy. 1. 3 billion credit assests for a cost of 11 billion, that is good. Francine january and february, those were tough for you. Yes, but i am pleased that things are progressing. People can see from those numbers, the quality of infos, the margins, the availability of the divisions, the strategy. We have very unfavorable circumstances. I think we have a great team. I am impressed every day by what they are doing and i think there is more to come. Francine so, the worst is behind you, or it is too soon . I am too superstitious. I would never say that. That i believe we have the right team to cope with the circumstances, whether they are good or bad. We showed you in the First Quarter, which was a very challenging quarter, that the team held together and produced very good results. Have so many risks in the world economy, such as the brexit and what is going on in china. I have always been in the same camp, which is to be positive on china. I feel there are a lot of misunderstandings. But that is the objective of the economy elli policy. You see a lot of bright spots. 104 million chinese travel the world last year and they spent 200 billion abroad. That is more than the gdp of many countries. That is a growth industry for china. There is also tourism into china, which is huge. There is entertainment, the movie industry. There are many theaters in china. Francine they continue to purchase more. Exactly, and their ire is the auto sector, and housing, and health care, which is also huge. Im just going from the examples, but there is a name for all of these services. They are a very consumer driven group. It is people going to hospital and getting good Quality Health care, going to cinemas, and going abroad. You have a two speed economy in china, an old economy. People dont see enough of how a dynamic they are. Francine are you worried about the brexit, or the fed raising rates before the markets are ready . We are always concerned. You spend a lot of time thinking about the brexit. We have a Brexit Working Group and we will be ready, whatever the outcome is. And the Interest Rates, we always think about that and we have to prepare for that. But i think there is still growth in the world economy. I think europe is better than it was. Opened up ands. Down, but is still green. I still think the market is ok, but it varies of course. The Political Risk around oil and saudi arabia, and the migration of crisis in europe, that can trigger unexpected results in elections. But i think that is the way of the world. Francine what is your plan b for brexit, if it happens . We are not ready yet to discuss that publicly, but i think we will cope. We have to cope. Francine thank you so much. Tidjane thiam talking to francine there about what they will do in the future. You are now watching on the move. It is 7 28 in london and 8 28 in berlin. We are 31 minutes away from the market open. Im guy johnson and im sitting next to caroline hyde. As we have been hearing, it is cut, cut, cut for Credit Suisse. Q2 is looking subdued. Eeasy jet revenue came in below estimates.

Going to takeopen us . Let me take you to the bloomberg and show you where the fair value calculations point this morning. It looks like we will be a positive start in europe. The euro stocks is up by. 6 . The with the 100 is up by. 5 . By. 5 . Tse 100 is up it looks like the dax is going to outperform. I want to show you this as well. These are the future is out of singapore. This is a year chart. We have been sliding lower, but this morning we are trading at 51. The Mining Sector this morning, it will be an interesting one to see how londo opens off the back of big losses in australia. Caroline we have seen big losses continuing through the hang seng as well. We have been on track for the seventh day of losses, the longest losing streak this year. Suddenly inching into the green territory. Maybe we are just getting a little bit of a boost, but overall, we have seen a green sentiment in asia. Of course, the yen is weakening, helping the japanese stocks. And oil is up. 4 , a little bit of a reprieve from
