will he take an upside risks to growth and a downside risk to inflation? jeff: i think it is good news. mainly because it is better than expected growth print today. .6 versus not .4, which was our consensus. i think mario draghi would take that any day of the week. considering the first quarter worries we had, this is definitely good news. we knew inflation was going to happen. that is because of oil. jon: do you think the base effects continue to weaken throughout the year? far: all of the signal so are that in the second half of euro area inflation will pick up, perhaps even markedly. it is still a long way from where it is supposed to be, but what we are really interested in here is the underlying momentum of the economy. that is why today's data is, on balance, good news. the fx channel, a lot of people said it does not matter as much to the ecb, is a wanted a year ago, two years ago. as the euro get stronger, does it become more of a headache for the ecb? jeff: it has always been something that policymakers have kept a close eye on. if it does start to get out of hand, then you will see policymakers making statements about the willingness, ability to ease monetary policy further. they can still do that. and if through the currency channel the financial conditions in the euro area start to tighten, then we will see a response from the ecb. jon: good news from the eurozone. jeff black from the eurozone -- jeff black from bloomberg. thank you. david: the interplay between the central banks and the economies -- we want to bring in now somebody who knows about this, david stockman, the former director of omb under president reagan. know about this interplay. this is my question. which is the chicken and which is the egg? are the economy is driving the economy, or are the central banks -- are the central banks driving the economy, or is the economy driving the central banks? >> the real economies in the world are freighted down with debt. there has been a massive credit bubble for the last 20 years. for ae had enough capex decade. as a result, we have way too many commodities. commodity prices are falling. the export industries are now shrinking everywhere in east asia. this morning you saw taiwan had negative gdp in the first quarter. exports are down 10% to 20% in china, korea, japan, and so forth. when we had is a world going through a deflationary adjustment from a long credit binge that the central banks cannot do anything about. if they pretend that somehow they are stimulating growth, the only thing they are doing is stimulating more speculation in the financial markets. we are at month 89 effectively at zero interest rates in the united states. that i think is lunacy. what kind of pricing is that? that is falsification of pricing. is only thing it does basically fuel speculation on wall street. david: you have been consistent about this for some years, going back to your book. ?hat is different today is it the same story as 2013? what is new? david: it is the same story, we are just to the iceberg. we have had such a massive injection of credit by all the central banks in the world, to which of 30 trillion of debt today pit -- 230 trillion of debt today. a decade ago, it was 40 trillion. that is why china is falling apart. that is why australia is going into depression and why canada is in the tough shape it is in. economya morning-after that the central banks are not prepared to deal with. they know one thing. if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. everything to them looks like ease further. bear into negative interest rates. isn't that crazy? carol: we want to bring in matt with an interesting chart. matt: i am looking at the stock performance. from the bottom of the financial crisis, remember, the dow was at 6000, the s&p was trading at 666. andopriately, gold in gold, cash in green, stocks have outperformed these assets since the end of the financial crisis. why, if everything is so bad, have equities done so well? david: i think that is the point i am making. all of this liquidity has never left the canyons of wall street or the equivalent financial markets in london and elsewhere around the world. the inflation we have had is inflation in the price of financial assets, not in the price of goods and services, because we have excess capacity around the world. a growthem we have is problem, but easy money cannot have the impact on it. carol: how do you fix it, at this point? what would you recommend to the political candidates? david: demand the resignation of every single person on the federal reserve. in, andho would you put what would they do differently? david: at the federal reserve? whocannot have people believe you can control and $18 trillion economy with interest rates when we are at the zero bond already. when we have an economy that has $62 trillion of debt -- david: be specific. who agrees with your point of view on this? and what would they do? they wouldink what do is normalize interest rates by allowing the market to set the rate. in other words, interest rate of the most important price in all of capitalism. they ought to be set by supply and demand. the supply of real savings -- not credit created by the central bank that buys bonds -- but real savings balanced against demand for long-term investment. i think interest rates would be a lot higher, and they would move around and adjust as economic conditions change. right now we have monetary central planning. they are setting the prices, taking the interest rate, and -- the inflation rate on a year-over-year basis is 2.2% encore cbi, so you cannot have negative money market rates for 90 months. so i was say they should be 3% or 4% in the money market, in the yield curve should go from there. compare that to what we have. it means everything is mispriced. real estate is way overvalued because the cap rate is being set by the 10-year bond. you put an iceberg at the end of it. i would say we have already hit the iceberg and we are on a multi-decade run of going nowhere like japan. why in your thesis is their catastrophe at the end? why is there not just this for multiple decades with a big debt burden? do you factor that in? is that something that just can happen to japan for several decades now? david: the problem is, the central banks will not leave well enough alone. they keep trying to stimulate. look at the madness going on in europe today. negative interest rates in europe -- they are killing the banks, creating a huge political debate across the central bank itself. look at japan. it is almost an old-age colony, and they have destroyed the entire yield curve on the japanese bond being below zero or close. 40 have near japanese bonds are trading at 30 basis points. in 40 years, japan will be an entirely retired country. there will not be anybody there. this is the nature of the distortion. the question is, we have got to allow -- get the central banks out of the pricing of debt, out of -- carol: i think they would agree with you at this point. david: they would agree with that because they are petrified of a hissy fit. otherwise, they would have raised interest rates in march. david: now you can see why we love to have david stockton on. let's go over now to vonnie quinn. poland'support of british membership in the european union squared off today. the bloomberg -- the brexit debate, hosted by francine lacqua. is valuable for jobs, it is valuable for investment, it is valuable for the future prosperity of our country. what they tell us is that they do not see any way of getting that same market access from outside the european union. situation in the u was not satisfactory, and it needed radical change. i am sorry to say i do not think that medical change -- that radical change was met, it was disappointed. on balance, not an easy decision, we ought to leave. carol: the referendum -- vonnie: the referendum on e.u. membership is june 23. in southern california, a demonstration against donald trump turned violent. while he was speaking nearby, hundreds of protesters threw rocks and stomped on cars. police arrested 17 people. global news 24 hours a day, powered by 2400 journalists in more than 150 news bureaus around the world, i am vonnie quinn. carol? carol: coming up, after a week of inciting, deutsche bank is losing one of its supervisory board members. details coming up next on "bloomberg ." ♪ jon: the ftse 100 is deep in the red after three quarters of 1%, led by hsbc and bp stocks. we will talk about those companies in a moment. i want to cross over to germany because after a week of infighting and turmoil, one of deutsche bank's supervisors will step down. he was criticized for being overzealous in requesting internal probes of company executives, including the bank chairman. i want to bring in michael moore from london. the first question everyone is trying to get a handle on is whether this is about an executive board member that overstepped the mark, or whether this factors into the overall program of keeping costs down. which one is it at this point? michael: i think that is the big question. i think we are trying to figure that out. hasan, the -- deutsche bank been criticized for not just being slow but for spending so much on these investigations and not wrapping up the outside probes quicker. it has been an overhang for several years. john cryan has said he wants to be this up. but this is a very unusual situation, the cousin of the public nature of the fighting. having multiple board members coming out and speaking out against another board member, not something you see very often. jon: is this the end of the argument? it came to light a couple of weeks ago before the deutsche bank numbers came out. is it the end of the argument on who was the peacemaker, who made it a final decision to push this get rid of this guy? michael: the chairman was brought in with his mandate of fixing some the compliance issues that deutsche bank had, wrapping up the legal issues, and some are out there saying, what did you expect when you brought an experienced lawyer in with his mandate? he was going to be aggressive. clearly there was a divide them, and it is interesting that act lightner withot been very public his criticisms. it has been other members of the board speaking out against thoma . so the chairman seems to be in charge here, and he has had public displays of support him some of the shareholders in recent weeks there is -- in recent weeks. david: coming up next, who is going to be the next treasury secretary? we will talk about that next. ♪ jon: this is "bloomberg ." let's get a check of the markets for you. futures are lower, but the story to the fx market, a weaker dollar, an 11 month low. what does that mean for dollar yen? stronger japanese yen. 107.through more pain for governor kuroda, dollar-yen down by another 9/10 of 1%. up another full percentage point. matt miller now with some big calls. matt: i am starting with a small one. assetoup global strategists are thinking small after cutting global equities to slightly underweight from neutral. it prefers being overweight tobal government bonds high-yielding once. electrolux was upgraded at barclays based on improving sales of kitchen equipment and vacuums in the u.s. stayingin europe are higher, and sales and brazil are holding up. back in the usa, bankamerica merrill lynch has downgraded shares of ford and fiat chrysler. ford cut to neutral from a buy equivalent despite reporting record profits yesterday. was it yesterday or two days ago? yes, yesterday. fiat chrysler load -- lowers to underperform. david? david: it is time for bloomberg trends, where we look at top stories on the terminal. caroline came in this morning and said -- we both read the same one. take us into it. thel c: it breaks it down by potential presidential candidates. for hillary clinton, she could be one of the individuals. donald trump is considering carl icahn. david co and jack welch. trump has same he would name carl icahn at one point. carol: we know him well, activist investor. david: ted cruz has phil graham, a former senator. he does know a lot about the economy. carol: he also talked about mitt romney. david: mitt romney as to hurry secretary -- as treasury secretary, there is an idea. carol: a really good match. it just tells you something about the psyche, about how they are thinking. she has been out there for the individual investor, out there for consumers, so i think that is interesting. hillary clinton, another possibility -- sheryl sandberg. david: part of my reaction to this is, the clinton candidates are really serious candidates. -- carl icahn, jack welsh yak up these are serious people, but as treasury secretary? carol: we will see what will happen. coming up, everybody, to brexit or to remain. that is the question in everyone's mind. that is coming up next. ♪ jonathan: this is a bloomberg go. breaking news on valeant. matt: the basic story is they are saying that they have added no items that require restatement and they are in full compliance with the credit packs and senior notes. they say there's no concern of default since they have filed the 10k. they do say that internal controls were not effective. i am watching the headlines role across the terminal now. that is fairly interesting. they do plan to file statements for year and today. -- for year end today. they say there was existence of material weakness. this stuff, and armstrong is more of an expert, is kind of expected i would say. the most interesting story for me is from yesterday that it popped up to millions of dollars. carol: let's bring in armstrong. you're looking at the 10-k, what stands out at you, drew? this andt they filed that there are no major, major red flags. the stuff about internal control, we have known that this has been under significant pressure and that there are weaknesses that they had to restate or they said they would have to restate some of these and had campbell's play out in public. i think what people will be pouring through later today is that they will be going through product byproduct, unit by unit and say, how are the underlying financials of the company? actual impact the to this business of everything that has happened over the last six months. we look at the last quarter of 2015 to start to assess that. david: i am reading the 10-k now and it does say that they restated unaudited quarterly of 2014 andthe last the first three of 2015 and six months into june 2015 and nine months into september 2015. was that expected? through: that was generally in line. this was related to the pharmacy, where they were recording sales that they could not have recorded and were double counting some. it is a relatively small dollar amount, at least that is what they said. i have to go through and check, but that is in line with what they were saying that they would have to do. david: a larger question, a lot of the growth in the past has been they have been able to raise prices dramatically. we just that hearings in washington where they said they would not do that anymore. how will they get revenue growing at anything close to the rate from before? dre they will not. w: -- drew: they will not. it is reflected in the stock prices as we have gone through the company and their shares. a huge part is wrapped up in scandals and investors saying, this company is not growing with massive double-digit increases and being able to take the practices. there is a fundamental reflection of what the business is, as well as all the other things. jonathan: when you have to read a headline like this, with all the filing, that means you are in a bad, bad place. what is next? crisis management when bill ackman talks about turning away a company that was heading toward a groep see apparently, at this -- heading toward bankruptcy, at this point, where they had it? drew: they were not getting financials in on time and they were debt holders that said, you are in default, a technical default, but we need to see what those are, so we can -- they have got a new ceo now. $67.4 but they are paying million. potentially more of the stock goes up. a huge amount is high to target. they will not get a lot if it does not perform an euro get much more. hundreds of millions of the creates a similar return for shareholders. carol: is there a date on the calendar we should be watching? drew: i think we want to know the next q results now. that is when everything hits the fan. carol: we will bring you back later. drew armstrong, thank you. let's turnover to vonnie quinn. verge: the u.s. is on the of giving israel the biggest military aid package ever, but the animosity between president obama and benjamin netanyahu has slowed matters down. officials are insisting on more generous terms for a 10 year deal that could total more than $40 billion. the debt crisis in puerto rico is in a new phase. unless the u.s. can strike a deal for the 422 million dollar bond payment in the next few days, it is in danger of a technical fold. congress is working on a rescue plan for puerto rico but it probably will not be ready until lawmakers return on may 10. the state of colorado is considering a radical change in health care. in november, voters will decide whether to abandon president obama's health care act and create a taxpayer financed system that provides coverage for everyone. they say most people would save money. others say that the details are too vague and costs too much. global news 24 hours a day around the world. i am vonnie quinn. jonathan: thank you. battle continues. bloomberg hosted a debate today moderated by francine lacqua. take a listen. >> we want free trade in europe, from the international relations with europe. that is the right long-term place to be. this decision is about the future. it is the long-term health of this proud nation. >> i am afraid there will be advantages for u.k. consumers, businesses and for the u.k. in case of leaving. >> the present situation in the eu is not satisfactory and needs change. i am to say i do not think that that radical change was appointed, and given that we did not achieve what was necessary then, i think it is not an easy decision. >> the value of the single the eu butot just in around the world through trade deals and it is valuable for jobs, investments, for the future and prosperity of our country. they do not see any way of getting that same market access from outside the european union. to be looped into an tied into a political project which we do not want to be part of, we don't agree with, and is something which we will do far better with the freedom outside the european union. >> i think that the u.k. should stay and the damage will be much bigger for the u.k. then the eu. i am pleased to say prancing joins us now from london. it was -- i am pleased to say francine makua joins us now from london. after about what happened june 23. the details, the regulations, what it with the gleick with without a trade deal in europe. what with arguments on either side? are right.ou it was very emotional and i was a little bit taken aback about some of the arguments because when you look at the trade, when you look at how they can we negotiate, at the end of the day, no one really knows. they could take a leap of faith and say, we hope we will get a better trade deal with the u.s., i hope we would get a better trade deal and the prime minister of the u.k. with some of the asian countries or you say, why am i risking this? at the moment, the u.k. is not doing as well as they could, but it is better than the european economy and a lot better than other countries in the world, so who of the debate was on you would renegotiate trade deals with and we just do not know. and when interesting point, made, when you look at the popularity of donald trump, the popularity of more extreme politicians around the world, a lot of countries are becoming isolationists and it might be more difficult for the u.k. as a standalone country to negotiate some trade deals. jonathan: i thought the comments around how a lot of the world is not in the eu and a lot of them are doing ok outside of the eu interesting and the rules and regulations around trade, the former chancellor arguing that one point that they would not need a complex trade deal and it would not make much of the difference. break that down for us. francine: this was probably one of the most important points of the debate, and this is something that we have heard where certain finance ministers in europe, especially the french and german. let's say the u.k. decides to leave the eu, they would have to negotiate trade deals. one of the chancellor or former chancellor's, who was a pro-brexit campaigner said it does not matter and it will not always been the best influence of germany to allow this country to sell this to them. the argument that the pro-campaigners were saying is that if you are the german finance minister, the french finance minister, you could also make the u.k. pay. you do not want to be part of it, i would not give you preferential trade agreements. at the end of the day, that may be hurtful for the u.k. the other point that i would make that some of the other panelists tried to make is that president obama is coming here to the u.k., making a point and saying, you have to remain in the eu, that makes more sense. to me, that is an indication that for the u.s., the greatest superpower in the world, the u.k. is much more valuable as a partner if they stay within this union, and this is something that they were refuting. jonathan: on a final point out what you said about president obama, is it an offense that this debate is more important for the rest of europe than it is for the u.k. specifically? francine: a little bit of both. when you break down really the argument of the brexiters, people that want the u.k. to leave, they say, look at president obama, they are asking us to do something that the u.s. would never do, give up sovereignty. they would put them in a terrible position, but it u.k. leaves the eu, what desk scotland and wales become? and they could also see an implosion of the united kingdom, possibly. jonathan: thank you very much for working overtime for us today. david: that was fascinating. coming up, amazon has earnings that beat estimates. a big internet company having a good day. that is next on "bloomberg ." ♪ i am matt miller in the hewlett-packard enterprise greenroom. do not miss linkedin ceo jeff weiner in the 9:00 hour on "bloomberg ." vonnie: your latest business flash. i am vonnie quinn. wpp is looking for candidates to replace founder and ceo. 71 -- he is 71 and has not announced plans to step down. they say they have a strong move of internal and external candidates and they say that the ceo is hate and equivalent -- is the top paid ceo in the u.k.. mastercard and these that are trying to work out the bugs in the chip-based card. they got complaints about slow time, so they came up with new cards to make the process lasted. it will increase the checkout by 10 seconds. spacex contract bid less than what they estimate it would cost to launch a satellite for the air force. they plan to cut costs by you reusing the first stage of the nine rocket. cash of the falcon nine rocket. soaring ason shares they posted first-quarter sales yesterday that the across-the-board. everything was up. for, we will turn to bloomberg intelligence charles allen, over in london, one specific thing that jumped out, we know about the cloud services and how that is doing well. i did not realize how important it was. about 10% of revenue comes but two thirds of the profitability was in that last quarter. charles: and 62% over the last months, so it is important and giving a real bedrock to the earnings, which we still have the volatile intel, which was good this quarter, but now you have a solid base. david: do they plan to increase the petition for the likes of -- increased apple the competition for the likes of microsoft and apple? charles: and google. yes, they do. the only people that quantify the revenue on this and the growth rate is extremely good and a bit behind some of the smaller people who are trying to catch them up. ongoing debate about, yes, amazon sells $107 million worth of goods last year, we know that, but the earnings have not been there because they are spending a lot on content and other things in warehouses. has the financial equation for the company really started to turn in earnest? charles: i big receipt in north america. the north american scale is pretty big, 50% bigger than best buy. so you have a company that should be making more money and i think the thing that we have been concerned about, the amount they were spending on shipping, which is still high, what the cost of the content you mentioned at some of the other programs. were they able to sort of leverage this against continuing growth? carol: we will come back to the amazon store it in a minute, but we have a story crossing the bloomberg. matt: a number of headlines in regard to valeant with investigations. it got a subpoena demand from the l.a. staff concerning philidor. it has an investigative demand from the state of north carolina department of justice, document subpoenas from the new jersey state securities exchange commission, so it has got a number of investigative demands that we did not know about previously. check out valeant stock. let me kill this legend. we saw after the 10-k was filed to jump to a more than 3% gain and now a drop of 3.5% after those headlines cost the ticker. david: these are new investigations. they are the habit their number of ongoing investigations that have not been resolved. matt: absolutely. i am sure they have a lot to wade through, but a lot of investors initially saw this 10-k as a cure for a possible sign that valeant was back on track. these new investigations are making investors take a second look. carol: it is an opportunity for valeant to lay it all out. we will continue tracking that and get back to two armstrong -- it back to drew armstrong and bring you more. let's get back to the amazon story with charles allen in london from a bloomberg intelligence theme. what is next? whatever looking for from amazon next? because it provided a lot of upbeat investor news. charles: the north american expansion is to be sustained after the stock-based optimization and about 2.6%, which is low for a company that size, so we would like to see that the expand. will justnally, it about breakeven and there are a lot of investments in india and it might be nice to see some details about the progress may be and when we expect a break, but then the rest of the international segment, mostly germany, the u.k., japan, we would like to see more evidence that some of the things that are working in the u.s. work there as well. david: when you talk about margins coming think about cost. the cost of shipping went up in , prettyed states 42% dramatic. what can they do to try to manage the costs of shipping? little: you have to be a bit careful because shipping revenue was nearly up 40%. you have got to remember that this is the service that they do, so they are charging the third party, the people who sell to them, and amount of revenue to ship things for them and then it is a cost as well for them. fulfilled by the amazon program, shipping costs will continue to go up. what we really want to see is the net shipping costs shrink a little bit from the 5.56% and we hope that they are getting efficiency back. carol: they could always start their own transportation company, which they have talked about. charles allen, thank you so much. joining us from london. david: another company that reported, linked in. we will speak to jeff weiner, the ceo, it just an hour. jonathan: coming up, the dollar it hits the lowest level in almost a year. we talk the dollar and the dollar index and what is behind the move, next. ♪ up, we will hear march numbers for personal income and spending out that 8:30 a.m. eastern time. we will get the latest read from the sentiment index. tomorrow, investors flocked to omaha for warren buffett's annual meeting. carol: definitely looking forward to it comes out of that meeting. david: always fun. carol: coming up next -- jonathan: the fx market. down for a second day and many of the currency stories falling, including cable that has more to do with the greenback. we will take a look at the dollar moves with matt miller. matt: i just wanted to show you first of all, the dollar index that a lot of people think of, itedxy index and the bloomberg xy and the bloomberg and blue. been wiped and bloomberg and blue. by the way, the dollar, such incredible strength from basically 2012 to 2013 until the beginning of this year and now down 7% or 8% in 2016. jonathan: that is what i think is interesting because the headlines for fx market was the dollar at a low, but i think what is interesting is what is driving the dollar to where it is matt: and it is not just the fed. what i want -- and it is not just the fed. take what i want to do is a look at behind the indexes and set up the waiting. if you go to dxy go on bloomberg, you can see the dollar index. you pointed out this morning, i had never known that it has a massive euro weight in here because the index goes back, as -- to the donid of time, back in the day, there were european currencies, so the euro is 57.6 of the dxy index thethe yen only 16% and pound only 12% and they do not change. that is the difference between this currency basket with the dollar index and the bloomberg dollar index, bdxy. if you want to see the is the currency and there are 10 different currencies and their trade weighted, so ours is only 32% and, 18%, almost 90% yen, there we waited every year. jonathan: and it is that 18% yenht to the y that i -- that i think drives the dollar. it has strengthened and headed to the best week since the financial crisis and that is why that 18 month high yen against the dollar is driving it right here. to check type in ddxy it out on your bloomberg index. jonathan: matt miller, thank you. david: one thing i know for sure, that increases their earnings. coming up, we will hear from exxon and chevron. please, stay with us. ♪ carol: dollar heading to 11 month lows. jonathan: crude heading for the biggest monthly gain in a year. ahead, exxon and chevron earnings. david: valeant has been you state investigation probe as they filed their 10-k form. welcome to the second hour of "bloomberg ." i am david westin with jonathan ferro and carol. carol: matt miller, break it down. matt: exxon crushing it. we were looking for 29 cents but cents. down 33% in the first quarter and it may have something to do with exxon in the first quarter with $5.13 billion. i will continue to go through the numbers, but that is a real deep, 43 cents over 29 cents. down from the last quarter, so in the fourth quarter, we had 78 cents, buty, 63 better than the street estimate. exxon mobil in the premarket up cutting,cents, so boosting profit in the price of oil up 25% year to date. exxon stock up 13% year to date, so not a bad year even though we have seen volatility in oil over the past 12 months. jonathan: thank you. let's breakdown earnings with more on exxon. take of america and merrill lynch francisco here with us. also, a senior analyst with the recommendation on the company. he joins us on the phone from boston, jason, great savvy with us. first question, another beat from an integrated oil major. coming in at 43 cents. estimate at 29 cents. to deliverng harder an estimate for the oil majors when the biggest drive was traditionally offstreet and out is becoming downstream? is it harder to get a read? consistent point and message is that downstream as much stronger than we had expected it to be. i do think would the recovery in oil prices that we will revert back to companies having much bigger drivers and profitability, but your point is correct that the downstream has been a big driver for the last year. carol: i am looking at some of the comments by the ceo in the release, and they talk about them being such a huge company with cash on hand and that gives them an advantage. is he right in saying that? jason: exxon mobil's financial capacity exceeds anyone else in the industry and i think it is a huge advantage to be able to market whenal wind it is weak and they're are not many other people in the market looking to secure long-term istracts, and i think there the potential for acquisition opportunities to be attractively priced when oil prices are low. david: francisco, i have been andowing the top live blog, it seems that there are three things that are coming out of the oil companies. one is cost control, downstream versus upstream and the other is chemicals. flagging the profits they made in chemicals. what do you make of that? francisco: chemical margins have been strong so far, so some things like natural gas, methane, and they are priced extremely cheaply. what happens throughout the year is that gas prices have come down a lot but crude prices have come higher and the spread has widened. that is a little bit linked to the chemical returns that they are delivering, so global demand for stock is actually pretty good. what we saw last year, a crisis --prices, the dolly rather the dollar rallied dramatically, but in terms of quantity consumed, quite ok. spread, so the right to speak, you would do pretty well and it seems some companies are doing ok. carol: matt miller, we have heard of the energy companies and the equation to create a better situation for themselves, but it still costs exxon a lot to get oil out of the ground. matt: extraction cost remains high and if you charted versus the price of crude, pretty dramatic. which is on the terminal shows that extraction cost has not come down with the price of crude. this only goes until 2015, so the price of crude will be up another 25% do you actually see l,wn to 3%, but jason gammel when we look at the extraction cost, a different number from, are they able to get extraction cost down in line with? carol: and do they need to? jason: there has been a dramatic reduction in and extraction costs. we are looking at a large a large reduction in because companies are not pursuing but we have seen a 25% reduction in cast operating costs -- and cash operating costs. when is produced, it can be a multiyear timeframe but what opex're doing on the al side, we are seeing it across the board on earnings. jonathan: if you hold some of these companies a moment, the headline right now is exxon posting its smallest profits since 1999. if i listed comparison and chose flashy dividends and made a move early, it would have the highest present for placement ratio out about the european pears. capex cutsmain with and what will be the difference between those that have a high reserve replacement ratio? you hit on the right point for the longer term. the pullback in investment is going to affect the replacement, production down the road. in the case of exxon, they are already guiding for it to be essentially flat and hitting that target will be difficult given the pullback in investments. do thinkame token, i that exxon's cash flow is stable enough to not only support the existing dividend but have a progressive dividend and we did see that this quarter with a 2% increase in the dividend. i think that finding the right balance between shareholder distributions and investment is an important thing and i do think that in the sans case, while the perhaps could be investing more, the stability of the dividend is important and i see no risk of dividend at all. jonathan: jason, to a very much. francisco blanch still with us. looking atl point, these numbers, cost management has been terrific. buts an example of that, reduction in the u.s. on the 19 month low, how does that set you up for your viewing crude? francisco: we still think we will see that we go higher in two-year and. the one thing i went to be cautious about is that there is seasonality in the price. saudi arabia is no longer trying to moderate prices throughout the various quarters, so last year, the peak of the oil and the highest point was actually may 7, that is next week. a bit of a different story second half of the year, but let's not get too excited because i think there is a seasonal downturn that goes right after this season and the gets priced in advance. thank you. if you would like to follow the exxon earnings, it can find that on your bloomberg terminal. let's get a check of the markets . about one hour and 20 minutes away from the open. futures a little softer, dow futures negative 13, in europe, down.x there it is for you, wti, 4642. and downr crude price to an 18 month low with a weaker dollar story. you can see that on dollar yen n that is .8 of 1% lower. carol: we want to get you back to one of the big stories. valeant receiving new investigations as it filed its form, meeting the self-imposed deadline for today. true armstrong is still with us. you talked with this earlier and armstrong is still with us. you talked about this earlier and what stands out at this point? the toney talk about at the top of the organization of blame. for what a lot of what went wrong at valeant. that tone at the top and focusing on sales target and they say that resulted in material weakness and it has a substantial -- there is the key phrase and it probably has a lot to do with the fact that they announced the replacement of their ceo mike pearson. interesting thing to see that the company is really making that official that this was a management issue that they are siding as the cause for a lot of recent problems. carol: investors wanted to hear more from the companies and said they had this 10k filing, but what has changed now with the information? w: people will be pouring over the product byproduct financials to assess the business. it is the first chance to get the numbers that i think people will actually trust. mike peterson's signature is on that 10-k, another thing that people were waiting to see on who would put their name on this. in addition, it does away with a lot of brisk and there is a massive overhang on the stock and the fact that valeant could possibly end up risking having to repay lenders early and it does here that stock and it wobbles up and down a little bit this morning as people react to this. the state investigation probably not as big of a deal. i would -- they are already facing investigations from congress, house and the senate. they have been dealing with that constantly and they will pile on and may create additional risk, but it is not as if they were not already facing major probes ongoing already. talk about theo legal uncertainty. i recall there is the u.s. attorney looking into possible violation time to do with medicare and medicaid reimbursements. could that lead to a department, which would really mess with the business? drew: any type of medicare-medicaid investigation could be bad news. alot of time, what you have company that used financial [indiscernible] andromote medicare-medicaid it was not supposed to or they have not been given the discounts they were supposed to. the government looks at that seriously and looks at it as stealing from the government essentially. that is from larger pharmaceutical companies in the past and valeant certainly does not want to beginning with that right now. i think we need to learn a lot more about what the probes are focused on what stage the investigations are at the forward can draw conclusions. it is not necessarily a great thing to add on. david: thank you. that is drew armstrong. carol: let's get back to vonnie quinn with first word news. vonnie: in london, supporters of british membership in the european union squared off with the bloomberg brexit debate hosted by francine. and to be linked into an tied into a political project which we do not want to be a part of, we don't agree with the objective, and it is something where we will do far better with freedom outside the european union. >> the value of the single market to market access, not just in the eu but around the world for trade deals that is viable. viable for jobs, investments, the future austerity of our country. they do not see any of it getting that's a market access from outside the european union. it will take place on june 23. u.s. and china in the south china sea, they have [indiscernible] permission and they will escort ships to hong kong next week. this after weeks of diplomatic hiring. china claims more than 80% of u.s. disputese the claim. a u.s. citizen has been sentenced to 10 years in prison on spying charges in north korea. they pled guilty after a retrial. no other details were available. earlier this year, north korea is sentenced in american college student branch a government activity -- an american college student for antigovernment activity. thanks a lot. coming up, small businesses may be the key to jumpstart the economy but is the government helping or hurting?

john: that is right, we deal with real businesses and small businesses in new york and florida. we see robust activity and growth in the new york market, although florida continues to enjoy the recovery that began seven years or eight years ago, so we are not seeing any evidence of a slowdown in activity in small business lending. in fact, expect to see that increase for this year. david: we had david on the program and he had something to say about the importance of small and medium enterprises and growth in the country. let's take a look. david: when of the key ways to get an economy going as you have optimism and people started new business. they might do it with sweat equity, meaning from personal savings or credit cards, they went up their credit card and start a new business, that is not just going on right now, so that is holding down future growth. david: what is your reaction to that? does that sound right? .ohn: it does we live in our own little world in florida and new york. miami, for instance, the highest on situation of new businesses in any city in the united states right now and they continue to grow. in new york, while it was not damaged nearly as badly as florida, continues to come back strongly. he is certainly right that some of the backbone of our business is probably the backbone of all business in general in the united states. carol: how conservative are you being in loaning to small businesses? -- thene of the things interest is way more conservative than banks used to be and one of the things that has evolved and as a result of things we have been complaining about, i have been complaining about the excess regulation that we have to deal with and compliance. the good side of that is that banks have been retrained, if you will, to be a lot more conservative than they used to be. one of the reasons i believe i people keep running to this credit downturn that seems to be elusive and i believe may never happen is because banks are really behaving a lot differently than they once did and in gauging -- and not engaging in risky activities that they did. carol: good for you, john, because it could be problematic for small businesses that do not have access to capital. john: that is exactly right, but remember that a lot of blending of small businesses has moved into the non-bank sector and credit is being provided by credit that did not exist three years before years ago. david: john kanas, thank you for being with us. jonathan: coming up, a new call on deutsche bank that you do not want to miss. we will break it down, on "bloomberg ." ♪ carol: this is "bloomberg ." francisco blanch is still with us. , linked in coming up ceo, reporting earnings after the closing bell. we have lots to talk to him about. first up, matt miller. of calls, starting off with banking specials and they did not like what they saw on deutsche bank earnings and they cut the shares to underperform from market perform today. down to basically a solid equivalent. they reported a 58% drop from profit last year and continue with business overhaul. to be fair, deutsche bank was expected to post a half $1 billion loss and they posted a profit. has a drop in u.s. crude production to an 18 month low and has caused downgrade. patterson was cut to a whole to a by with a first-quarter loss. kirby was downgraded to a market perform from performer. first-quarter sales fell short. and oil explorer whiting petroleum was cut to neutral from buy on the u.s. output drop. jonathan: we touched on this earlier, francisco, but a lot of people tell me that it is just the dollar moved on crude. what in on that for me. francisco: clearly, the demand is stronger than before. we had a buffer year in 2016. we continue to have strong demand this cycle. as you pointed out, supply in the u.s. is falling pretty quickly and globally in the second quarter of this year. for the first time in more than three years, we will have a global output, so that commission of global supply and demand will lead to change and inventory dynamics in the second half of the year, so the market is looking stronger. i do not think it is just [indiscernible] i think there is a seasonal story and cyclical story behind it, but they are looking into the second half. carol: $60 a barrel in 2017, do we stay at that level?

when you look at former bull markets when they turned, is there a pattern? reporter: this is interesting that does not play by the roles. we have seen the biggest gap between annual average return for the s&p and with the gdp is actually doing. this is a bull market that has done the least. we has in the slowest economic growth for any equity expansion of this type. it has been interesting and underpinned by low interest rate environment. why is that? we have extraordinary monetary policy. rate: the low interest policy push people into this. reporter: it has been a huge factor, and when you look at what that means for the market, we are presumably in an rising interest rate environment by the end of the year, maybe early 2017, this is going to shift things. people need to look for new reasons to feel confident about equities. jonathan: people are looking at a historical rally that ended in 1956. it did not end in catastrophe, unlike the other long bull markets. 1956?

jeff: the dollar is more important. going on with global growth, i think the fed is looking tremendously at a strong dollar as a negative for them, being able to raise rates further. a weaker dollar gives them more latitude. the juxtaposition is you have global growth slowing and growth in the u.s. slowing, but at the same time, a weaker dollar let's them raise rates even more. unclear. personally, i don't think we will see another rate rise until after the political election. david: we are so fixated on the fed and what they will do, i wonder if this really reflects the underlying economy. we had disappointing gdp numbers and the trend, one number on its own. maybe the weaker dollar is showing the u.s. economy is not as strong as people hope it was. jeff: i think that is the case. there is concern on the part of a lot of corporations, you are not seeing topline growth. you are seeing beats because people are taking costs out. there is a lot of stuff going on at the end of the first quarter. it is not terrible, but we are not seeing what i would call fundamental growth that would try to drive lines organically. also see more mergers being announced. vonnie: but that is corporate enthusiasm. companies feel confident enough to do a deal and carry through. we saw a pullback in ipo and activity in the beginning of the year. they are starting to do it. is there any hope optimism later on? jeff: there is more reflection of growth, a lack of growth. costs want to take out for as adjacent region -- for a strategic reason. even with the rally and equity prices of the lows in february, we have not seen you ipos. we have one new one. nine health care ones. that is it. it tells you investors are not really believing the whole growth story yet, and when we see the return on the calendar, it will be various indications for the global u.s. growth. carol: and we are focusing on monetary policy with this one. the challenge is really facing central banks, and that includes mario draghi. collington -2% for april -- falling to -2% for april. very different. the meantime, economy accident 0.6%. that is the lowest level since 2011. mario draghi in a conundrum. what can he do? jeff: i am glad i am not him. i think he really is in a conundrum. he stays the course. this is one data point we need to see whether it is a trend. i feel that even though the ecb talks about the primary mandate being inflation in check, asked and answered, that is not the problem. i think they need to continue with stimulus because, even though these are the best numbers, i think europe is lagging in terms of growth. they have worries about brexit, got to get through that. i think he does not change course at all. theseeing how much of summers is a function on energy prices through the first quarter, i feel like inflation rates could be a function of energy price. commodity price, that is a huge factor in terms of looking at the inflation rate. david: some of what he has announced has not taken effect. do you expect that to work in the marketplace from halloween transmission? -- following transmission? jeff: it is important. central bankers will talk about it. the market will adjust for it. that is a strategy being followed in many respects by our own federal reserve board. i think they talk it. the market adjust, that is a strategy. i studied rational expectation. in college, i understand that. at the end of the day, it is essential part. and better late than never, valeant pharmaceuticals filing its overdue report while facing pressure from shareholders. they are in full compliance on the credit path, but it also reveals the pharma company has a new state investigation probe and they missed a counter for millions of stills to mail order pharmaceuticals in 2014. what you make of what is going on with valeant?

jeff: you have to make a full commitment to be able to do action research and help people trading more efficiently. there is a number of ways you can help these managers to provide alpha. fundamental research is in. independent how trading that on as people to execute non-conflicting basis, that is a rare commodity. intoalgorithms really flow dark pools. not sure they are conflicting here. you can use the algorithms and trade, and i feel like -- carol: are they outperforming?
