A blow to the tobacco industry. Global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2700 journalist and analysts in more than 120 countries. I am courtney donohoe. This is bloomberg. Vonnie thank you. Tobacco shares are plummeting on that news. Altria down almost 10 and philip moore is down 2 and British American tobacco down more than 8 with the fda commissioner saying that unless change course, 506 million 5. 6 million young people will die later in life from tobacco use. Coming up, challenging time for central banks, from inflation to likely a look at what is to drive policy with a legendary bond investor. This is bloomberg. Mark live from london, i am mark barton. Vonnie live from new york, i am vonnie quinn. Rebounding strongly me secondquarter, an increase in both the business and Consumer Spending but price did indicate softer inflation. What does this signal to the fed hellbent on normalizing its Balance Sheet and may be continuing with rate increases this year. Joining us is the legendary bond manager, dan foss. Levels, weyou about are in a range and we saw ,assive block trades this week is this a market that has conviction or a nondirectionless market a non a directionless market . Dan neither one. You can say it does not have direction but there is good volume, the range is tight, it is pretty much business as usual. Unusually good volume for this time of year. Money, a lot of foreign are you convinced we will go to 3 by the end of the year on the 10 year . Dan a little less convinced. Best guess is what happens now. There are a couple of reasons for this. The best guess is that it is content they talk about the Balance Sheet in some detail, how they will bring you down in september and then it is data dependent or i would say more political dependent. They bumped rates up a quarter in december. Of fed is in a really sort stinky box. They are cornered, whatever you want to call it. Not in a comfortable position. Vonnie no, and it is partially because of washington but the data is not backing up any kind of plan to continue strongly with normalization, is it . Dan it is certainly not. On the inflation side. And you can argue about the economic numbers. I think they are Strong Enough but the inflation side, the numbers are not cooperating with their 2 target. They have indicated that, while maybe they should not wait around, my memory reminds me that inflation data oftentimes, particularly on the unit cost of labor lags. The reality. We will have to see. I do not think economics are their primary uncertainty. I think their primary uncertainty is geopolitical and domestic political. Mark a few weeks ago the suggestion was that the bank of england august meeting was a live one, then along came a weaker than expected plaintiff inflation reading, but 2 , and this week weakest gdp data. Does that put in the notion that the bank of england will be hiking rates anytime soon . That i best guess is think the bank of england will be reluctant to hike rates unless they have very strong data. Here is the reason, they are in situations with brexit i will grant you, the banks, the savings institutions, they want to boost their deposits so they can make loans. That is true also in the u. S. That is the pressure to raise rates. To rely strictly on the normal set of economic numbers right now, realizing what they are staring ahead at with brexit. And the gradual weakening of their economy as people adjust their own operations, particularly noticeable in the city. The bank of england will need something solid to raise rates. I think it will be a little bit more cautious than you would otherwise expect. Mark does the ecb have something solid to start the pathway to policies normalization. Look at the spanish and french gdp data today, can they start that, even without inflation anywhere near their goal of just below 2 . Dan that is a tough one, mark. I think one of the best politicians in the world is mario draghi. Long,u only can talk so eventually you do have to do something. Oh, boy. I think they will try to sound maybe like they will do something. And you would say, they have to do something, if they want the savings flow into the Financial Institutions again. That changes around the country and the rates are different around the union. So, again, it is one of these things where, in a perfect world, relying on only economic only, inand relying the case of the u. K. And the u. S. , on your domestic mandate, you may start to raise rates. But there are things that are not covered in writing in your domestic mandate, and if you get a little bit outside of that mandate, it did we can you weaken your independence as a central bank. The only thing i can say here, mark, is, you know, if you are wishing people well, with the central bankers particularly well. They have a tough job. Vonnie a quick word, the huge announcement this week from the fca, will it be easy to transfer benchmarking of 350 trillion of securities by 2021 . Dan absolutely not. Somebody said yesterday, if the relief act of all the attorneys in the world, they will have a lot to do. Easier thanill be that, a consensus will be reached i think, what it should be, libor is a dollarbased rate. I do not think you can substitute another currencybased rate. Should, in a normal environment, without a lot of nonfinancial input into it, i think it should be fairly easy to do in theory. In practice, it will take some they say, weer will keep libor alive for 6 better yet, seven years, then you say, good, the problem is a lot smaller. It will be smaller in three years and that it is today. It will gradually shrank into oblivion. That may be the compromise. They may extend the date to make it easier to handle. I think it is doable. Vonnie fascinating to listen to you but we have to let you go. We must big to you soon, dan f uss. Mark still ahead, youd be should ubs shares getting punished, what their chief executive told us next. This is bloomberg. Mark ubs with better than estimated secondquarter earnings and shares falling the most since january as capital ratio declined. Earlier today, matt miller sat down with their cheese chief executive. Strong for the first half of the year and usually in the u. S. We see some outflows. In the second quarter. Our clients are paying taxes out of their assets and there is a big component of that. If i look across the board, strong momentum, growth in our International Businesses of 6. 6 on a very high base. Reducing client advisor accounts and demonstrating we can grow with quality. We are not focusing on quantity, we are focusing on quality. We can perform in different markets. Track for cuts are on 2017 with 1. 8 billion francs of cost cuts or net cost savings already. The 2. 1 billion looks easily achievable, can you overshoot that . Easily achievable is like a marathon, the last few miles are the most difficult. We are confident that we can achieve our target but it is not an easy journey, also because we are talking about a net cost savings target and we are absorbing a huge amount of headwinds of cost coming in from unexpected regulatory changes, Technology Investment that we need to keep up our competitive position. In order to offset that, we need to work hard on the actual costbased. I am confident we can get there by the end of the year. Matt where do you see taking out that further 300 million . Reductions . It is not a matter of account, it is across the board, we focus on optimizing our front to back infrastructure. Enhancing productivity. It is a mix of different initiatives. When you get down to the last 10 , it is about every single dollar counts and we are focusing on the best and we are also making a lot of investments , it is not just about costcutting, costcutting is not something you can do forever. You cut costs to create capacity to invest in the future. Mark matt miller speaking to the ubs chief executive. This is bloomberg. Mark live from london and new down this is the european for the third day. Oil and gas and other Industry Groups declining. Squeeze three into one chart today coul. Ubs shares are down. The Bank Reported a decline. Credit suisse reporting an increase in secondquarter profit decline. Bnp paribas still showing it is possible to build and Investment Banking franchise here in europe. It is outshining Deutsche Bank and wall street for yet another quarter, posting a standout performance and equity derivatives to help drive that is unexpected earnings. Bmp, Credit Suisse, and ubs in the last year in order. The laggard up by 27 . The was another lender that reported earnings to spains workingbank after its purchase last month. Inular has seen a rebound profits since the takeover since santander. That upsets losses from bad assets. Deposits rising by 5 billion euros since that purchase and july 20. Little changed today, but spains economy is on a bit of a roll. Its expanding on the fastest pace in two years and extending growthery that shows after expanding in the First Quarter of the year. Fridays report did not break down the components. The growth probably benefited from consumption fueled by strong job production. There yourism go, spanish growth continuing to chug along. Hows it looking there . Vonnie lets ask the person who knows when it comes to the winners and learners. Lets bring in Bloomberg Markets live editor and she joins us from london. I am with this new function i have been learning about. It shows us just exactly what companies have reported any concerts indexes and so forth. 500,ppens to be on the s p but it has been the same in europe as well, right . Christine it has been a bit of a mixed picture in europe. Some figures from jpmorgan this morning show the disappointment that we saw earlier yesterday and maybe a low more mixed today. We have over 6 of stoxx 600 Companies Reporting estimates beats for the second quarter. That is also below the 70 for the s p 500. And its with the u. S. Previous performance in the last quarter, european earnings dipped harder and maybe more t a mixed ba. Mark breakdown the banks as you refer to this wonderful chart that you provided. Weve had Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, and ubs to that. Everyone having a slightly different story. Kristine it speaks to which banks are focusing on. Positiveave a lot of from Credit Suisse because of the Wealth Management improvement on their side. Ubs not so much. Bank was particularly upbeat yesterday about the European Economic momentum despite the fact that Deutsche Bank earnings were the weakest in three and a half years. Part of the reason as he can see on the chart is because of deal curve steepening story in the euro area. , which is positive for banks. Its continuing and becoming more correlated with Deutsche Bank shares specifically. That show support there as well. Mark the macro picture is fascinating. The economy is strong, but you have the euro, the elephant in the room, resting at it ties levels since january 2015. How will that play out Going Forward . Kristine that is something these companies will be watching for. We had a survey and Bloomberg News earlier showing a pain threshold for most companies. We are about three cents or so off of that level. It depends on the currency here and different factors like the ecb. Mark which the chart highlights. Kristine you can see the correlation is becoming more negative where a stronger euro would be hurting stocks. Vonnie what are we hearing in terms of m a activity potentially in the next quarter and also buybacks from the earnings calls that have already happened . Kristine m a continues to be a big driver of consolidation in the industry. We have seen big deals in the first half of the year. It depends on where valuation stands and investors perceive to be fair or overvalued. It depends on how well these companies generate organic growth and how they can manage to fend off maybe some interested buyers defending on where they stand at the moment. It really depends. There is some value hunting to be found in markets currently and evaluations properly. Mark thank you, christina queener. Kristine aquino. Fallingtobacco stocks back after the fda announced it wants to cut nicotine to nonaddictive levels. Joining us from princeton with more is Bloomberg Intelligence senior food and beverage analyst ken. Were we expecting the fda to take this issue up . It seems a huge thing for the fda to suddenly announce. Ken the action really reflects the word nicotine. , mr. Ugh the new fda chief gottlieb, is going after the new products coming to market, i think a lot of investors did not appreciate that he would be looking at levels of nicotine in flavors and doing so. The producers of these products got a mixed bag of news today. They were extending the deadline up to four years now with a can modify the products in accordance with the new standards. At the same time, they will have to modify them to levels of nicotine and flavorings that are probably less favorable than i thought yesterday. Vonnie its pretty stunning really. Is this something that will go through given that big tobacco has probably unlimited funds for in anng and its administration that might be a little more friendly to big tobacco than other administrations . Ken well yes. Large Tobacco Companies have a lot of political clout and they will certainly voice their opposition to many elements of this. That being said, on the flip side of it, the big Tobacco Companies like reynolds american, which is owned by british tobacco, could benefit. The fdas going after the new products and not really the existing products and the nicotine levels. The only flavor allowed today is mental. Hol. To the extent that these companies are in these new products and a lot of the growth expectations of these companies are in the vapor and the burnt tobacco space, that is what is survey. Ng investor mark might todays reaction might be a bit of an exaggeration . Theyve clawed back some of their losses. Still it has lost a billion pounds of market value today. Might it be seen in the coming weeks as a bit of an overreaction . Ken it could be. I think there was a loomis understanding when the release came out in terms of what products they were really targeting. Just the newis products coming to market, the newly deand products as theyre called in the industry, it will only affect those companies to the extent that investors were looking at those products as the future growth engines of these companies. Which could be material. As many of you know, austria and Phil Morris International have a market, which to could come to market as early as this year. If that is off the table or have to be modified, that could be a problem. Shea thereen from a princeton europe, thank you. Lets check on the first word news with courtney donohoe.

Mark we will hear from barclays chief executive jes staley on the banks Restructuring Plan and what is next. This is bloomberg. Mark live from london and new york, i mark barton. Vonnie im vonnie quinn and this is the european close on Bloomberg Markets. Lets talk oil. The industry streak of upside surprises right by exxon mobil missing secondquarter estimates. Joining us now for stock of the hour is bloombergs Abigail Doolittle. Were we to anticipate this from exxon . Abigail other Major Oil Companies missed the street, but they did miss on the bottom line even the earnings to double. Cash flow is a big concern. All this is tied to production for expectations may have been high, but if we take a look at g btv 8129, this is the companys production over the last five years. The down bars represent production declining in the up farce to the upside. We have seen that 17 of the past 20 three quarters have been to the downside. That reflects the oil crash. They had more than 1200 drills on. Now less than half of that as oil has really declined. As you can imagine, the price of oil is a huge factor here. This gives us a chance to take a look at our favorite chart and the bloomberg. This is g btv 299. This comes from mike mcglone, a Bloomberg Intelligence commodity strategist. Look at this beta for colors and the moving band. Der anded to be a tra it suggesting that we may not see oil rise above 50. If they did not get above it, they make money. Below it, not so much. This suggest that there could be more pain ahead for exxon mobil. Vonnie and the biggest production for shale and the u. S. Yet and then canada oil plans are coming back online too. Abigail that could certainly be a pressure on the price of oil and exxon mobil. All this could in fact be a negative drag on the dow. Take a look at a great function within the bloomberg. This is the age move function on the year. The dow is climbing on the year up about 10 . The individual movers are among storm green. Exxon mobil is one of the few laggards, down 10 on the year. Really declining in a big way and a drag on the dow. We have a lot of those winners helping to move the dow up here. Vonnie Abigail Doolittle there. Mark lets get back to the European Bank earnings. Its been a busy day at week. Barclays posting a net loss due to shares in its effort to unit and part of a scandal. We spoke to jes staley on the pain of protection and insurance scandals and how he feels the Investment Banks performance. With the Investment Bank overall, we are quite pleased. With equity underwritings and debt underwritings, we had a great quarter. The first half of this year was one of the best results that the bank has had as part of our business. Creditrating did quite well. In rates in currencies, were still not happy with where we are. We are down in the second quarter. We have made some recent very important hires. We will get that corrected, but overall, i think investment thanking had a good quarter. Are you still happy with the extent to which you backed the Investment Banking business at barclays . Have you taken enough action to turn that performance around . We still have room for improvement. Clearly very pleased with the strategy that we set out with the transatlantic Investment Bank. We have a very strong position in new york. We are the number one Investment Banking nikkei with a market and theer 10 bank u. K. With a market share over 10 . We like the strategy of being a transatlantic and we will continue to invest in our investment. Can you give us an update on the state of the investigation with the u. K.

Clearly in discussions with the thatnd the doj, but the on , we really dont want to discuss the situations as they are open investigations. Looking at your statement time you talked about another 700 million in charges for ppr. The deadline has been extended. Could there be more . Endsr hope is that this the reserves for ppi . The bank is taking close to 9 billion pounds of these reserves related to ppi issues. The government has to put an end date to the ppi claims. 700o hope that this Million Pound reserves will bring this issue to a close. Sticking with the Consumer Credit story and united kingdom, a different part of it, the bank of england has said that u. K. Lenders are jousting with the fire of complacency. Has that forced you to change any of your policies in regards to credit cards . We are definitely focused on it. We have been in discussions with the bank of england. What we have seen is a pretty sharp increase in Consumer Spending. That has been matched by an increase in Consumer Credit. Per capita Consumer Credit now is at a level roughly to where it was in 2008. That being said, unemployment stays very low. We are watching. We are adjusting our underwriting standards accordingly. We want to remain a bank with one of the highest quality Consumer Credit loan portfolios. We are focused on it. We are focused on unemployment, which continues to be quite low.

On the downside, since the dollar has moved down, stocks continue to say we like a lower dollar story as well. S p up 9 over that time.
