european equities are trading now, just under 30 minutes to the close and the losses on the stoxx 600 becoming quite entrenched on some of the country benchmarks, losses of more than 1% and on the stoxx ,00 right now, down 8/10 of 1% red across the wheel with every industry group in lost territory . health care, real estate, consumer discretionary underperforming, the travel and leisure stocks underperforming for a lot of the session. are here, risk aversion partly on the policy paralysis in the u.s. that perhaps has been compounded by the geopolitical risks and the ongoing investigation with the terror attack in barcelona. volatility, what is interesting, i have the fix in blue and the v stocks index, this is year to date, we saw both a spike in yesterday's session, the vix coming back, below 15.

volatility innovated in european equities. aoking at the euro, a bit of theme of dollar weakness and the session today with the euro higher against the dollar, one point 1751 and this is the euro-dollar over five days, lower by 6/10 of 1%. about a equities are gain over the week just a bit. so many superlatives when it comes to the london metal exchange, copper and aluminium at a three-year high. zinc hit a fresh decade high in today's session. a lot has to do with inventories with them shrinking in london and shanghai. some people starting to question at these levels come is the man going to be enough to sustain these prices? are looking at small

declines for the major averages in the u.s.. big selloff,ay's the worst day for the dow since the middle of may, now down 3/10 of 1% with the s&p 500 and the nasdaq desk -- down less than that with the russell 2000 downs three can someone present in the fact that the russell 2000 on pace for its worst month since january of 2016. i do reach out to a lot of street contacts and generally, over the last several months, most have agreed at different times whether they are bearish or bullish but now starting to see a little bit of a disagreement in opinion. the ceo of a capital group said that he would buy but the head of technical analysis at him km says he is less than cloud to buy the weakness. -- less inclined to buy the we give us. -- weakness.

movers in the retail space, nike lower, down 4.5%, on paper its worst day since march of this year. 27%, on paceown for its worst day since november of 2008 after they put up a huge miss for its quarter, missing earnings by 31%, missing revenue by more than 5%. they are taking a hit from online competition. down 6%, on pace for its worst day since august of 2015, a mixed quarter, there were high expectations, the last two quarters had been good and investors wanted more and the shares declining. on the year, speaking of a loser it is year to, whitehart, what we see in is the russell 2000 giving slightly negative and involute the mid-cap index up about 2.6% on the year.

8%.e cap, s&p 500 up about only when small-cap and mid-cap, the growth -- market capsize tends to drop off, sometimes it suggests a risk off ahead, that happened in august and september of 2007. something to watch, especially considering we had haven assets such as gold and the and higher on the year. nejra: let's get to the latest on the terror attack in spain that have left 14 people dead and scores wounded. police killed five suspected terrorists in connection with the vehicle attack in barcelona and the resort. they say the terrorists were planning a bigger attack with explosives. joining us from our madrid -- give us the latest on the investigation. it seems a bigger attack was

planned then the one that happened. >> that is correct, this started -- the information started coming out yesterday after the policemanbarcelona, a said that in another town that e-house had blown up and initially thought it was because of a gas problem. they are confident that what happened was that the terrorists were doing some kind of preparation and the house blew up and they lost the material they would use for the bones. they changed the plans -- bombs. they change their plans to do the van attacks. ill about theoing attackers and if they were connected -- what do we know about the attackers, and where the attack since negative -- attacks connected? >> that seems to be the fact, they were definitely connected. one of the working series is that the driver of the van in a barcelona attack may be one of the five people who was shot

dead in another city. it is not confirmed but it is one theory the head of police said they are working on but we do not know much more about the people except one was born in morocco and another one was born in a spanish city in africa. van driver may be at large, what our policy -- police focusing on in the investigation most now? >> they are looking at several people, one is the driver who is at large and the local media reporting in barcelona that he may be a teenager but the police have not told us. they are looking for him. they are looking for several other people, they do not give a number. or six who were part of the network and may have given support and may have helped plan these attacks. nejra: thank you.

getting the latest on the spain attacks. let's focus on europe's economy and the euro, it has rallied 12% against the dollar this year. what is next for the currency as the ecb considers how much longer it continues the bond buying program. joining us is the head of the european investment office at ubs wealth management, who is ending his overweight position in the euro. good afternoon. this change in position on the euro is more a tactical thing on a six-month basis, rather a long-term call? >> euro is still undervalued. if you look at when we put the trade on, last year, expectations were different. there was real concern about political turmoil in europe with the french election, dutch elections, german elections. on the u.s. side, the newly

elected donald trump with expectations about his spending cuts, tax reform. it was a different dynamic. then and now, obviously the expectations have in some ways reversed. expectations out of the u.s. tend to be subdued, not much in terms of how much more you can do on infrastructure spending or tax reform. even expectations of rate increases, the u.s. for this year seems to be 50-50, if you look at the bond market. on the european side, the economy is strong and at the beginning of the year, 1.5% growth now at 2% with expectations tapering -- are completely different. dollar rallying quite a lot, our target one year ago, we expected it around 1.20 and this year we have gotten there quickly. not unusual that when you have such a big rally, you get a

cause -- pause. nejra: closing the overweight position against the dollar and swissie. a lot has happened in the u.s. this week, has anything changed in your view, giving us the latest -- given the latest fed meetings were got more questions about inflation and what has been happening this week around the donald trump administration? do you see much for their dollar weakness -- much greater dollar weakness? they concern in the short-term -- the concern in the short-term is that things can look better, looking at retail sales in the u.s., they came out very strong. the underlying economy is still pretty healthy. inflation, link is you cannot say the same about europe. expectations are that mario draghi will announce tapering in september or october.

headline inflation, it is declining. if you build in what is happening to the oil price and everything else, you see headline inflation down below 1% within one year. given that outlook and you give up on the euro trade, where are you putting that money to work? -- we stillill underway the swiss franc versus the swedish krona, euro versus the swiss franc, the differences with the swiss franc weakening, we think it is overvalued and over time will depreciate. if you look at the other side of the equation, the turkish economy is strong and deflation is picking up. the central bank and some states needs to think about increasing rates. we see an opportunity there. in the currency markets. vonnie: get finished on the currency markets, sterling, where is it for the rest of the

year? >> we are watching it closely because fundamentally it is more undervalued versus the euro. theundervalued versus dollar. in the short-term, i suppose the concern is what is happening with the economy, a decline in economic activity in the u.k., partly because -- consumer spending is becoming down -- coming down. noise around brexit. you still have the political uncertainty following the elections. in the short-term, it is not certain where sterling goes but fundamentally it is undervalued. it is amazing how resilient the sterling has been despite all the negative news. yes it has been weaker a little bit but close to untouched versus the dollar and the euro may be starting to weaken. nejra: your target on eurosterling? >> we think it will flood

between three and six month and a small appreciation of sterling versus the euro, but very small. expecting the sterling to appreciate. nejra: thank you and you are staying with us to discuss the upcoming german elections. but what a victory for brexit negotiations and the future of europe economy and what could it mean for the ecb? this is bloomberg. ♪

governs germany and what kind of coalition the next time, on the margin it makes a difference, , doefore, risk portfolios you make changes now before we know a result or do you wait for a result? what is the timing? >> i do not fundamentally we will see a big shift in the german policy. the germanink elections will be a big driver for the markets. i think it is another step in the direction of getting these political events out of the way. we started the year with uncertainty which is slowly disappearing because we still have the italian elections. not many people talk about it. it will come. important for me is the relationship between germany and france. angela merkel and macron. that relationship is going to be crucial after the elections, whether the two countries thrive

a hot potato in the global economy. no one wants it. if you end up with it, it's a real problem because it undermines your competitiveness. it is a headwind to growth and it depresses inflation at a time when you're not getting inflation you want. at the same time, mr. mario draghi has to respond to other things you se he is seeing in te economy and politically. if anything, what you saw from the minutes yesterday they much increased certainly my interest in what he is going to be saying. >> let's talk about what they will ultimately do. we know at some point in the next couple of months and what we understand from the most recent reporting is that they want to hold off on this decision until the autumn to communicate to the market what the next move actually is. qe at its current pace set to end that this year. what is next? mohamed: less qe is going to be

very gradual. you're going to see central banks remaining cautious. you're are going to see central banks airing on the side of being more dovish than they would be otherwise and it will remain data dependent. i think of this image as central bankers are trying to soft land this plane they are in. their instrument panels are giving them they strange readings and they are trying to figure out which entremed panels to trust. if you're in that environment, you ultra cautious. that is something you will see from central banks around the globe by the way. >> want to get your thoughts on the federal reserve. we have this really intriguing spread. the ecb has drawn a line in the sand in this market. the last thing that janet yellen it is a stronger dollar story. they've had quite a favorable market for the last couple of months. you came out front at the start

of the year and said the fed would lead the market and they did. at the moment, the take away from the most recent minutes is that this is a very confused and reserve. -- federal reserve and that they will hold off on rates to the end of the year or maybe longer. is this a fed that should reassert itself and should we pay more attention to the recent comments from mr. dudley? mohamed: i think the fed will not assert itself on markets for a while. if there is a hike, it will be in december not september. they will not look to disrupt the markets. they will wait and get information and react. also on the qb side, they are going to try to make the reduction in the balance sheet as boring as it can be. look at the fed right now not want to make headlines. just monitor developments and hold out the possibility of a december hike. el-erianat was mohamed , bloomberg view columnist and

every time a company puts in a ceo to change the optics of a company, it might work in the end, but the female ceo gets a lot of kicking along the way. i'm not saying it's going to happen, but it's a difficult position. laura: it can happen and gender roles can play a role here and financial firms. may mac is actually the retail bank had and we have a different ceo. that he at the time did. she really is overseeing this overhaul of the retail bank. we talked to her on a break that she had at this hilton golf resort in phoenix where she was talking with the bank leaders and training them and saying this is what we would like to see coming up here in the retail bank =. we want our tellers looking more at technology. sort of a softer approach than this hardcharging sales culture

that got the bank in trouble. a lot oft feels like the personal interaction has gone from banks even if you still want to branch, which are becoming fewer and farther between. is that the way forward when it comes to profitability? surely customers will go to where the best deposit interest rates are,. laura: cost of beta is low for banks everywhere. that is not a lot of community banks have had to deal. what mary mac is doing that is his idea of reputational risk. a lot of clients are not going to wells fargo anymore to open up new accounts. they are not applied for new credit cards. she's trying to get partly the revenue picture but also believe the cost side and dealing it back. the community bank in the fourth quarter, i can leave a chart to show that. it showed a real drop in profit and that community bank, which is always been a strength for wells fargo.

that was the quarter right after we first learned about the sale scandal. nejra: technology plays a big part in this as well, doesn't it? laura: exactly. that's a way that banks can look at cutting costs. if they are able that customers not deal with that heller who they have to pay on an hourly basis and do with this preferred atm's, that's a lot cheaper. nejra: what does that mean for headcount if they are encouraging customers to use tablets? is wells fargo cutting headcount across community banks? laura: that was one question that we talked to mary about and asked her, houses working if you're cutting branches any of cut 88 so far this year, faster than any of your competitors? does that mean we will see the frontline staff leaving the bank? what she told me is that actually know, they have been able to keep that down. only 10 people, fewer than that have lost their jobs as part of this reshuffling and all these

bank closures, which is really pretty interesting. the reason that mary mac said that was able to happen is that they are shifting these workers to other branches that are already open or even letting them apply for other positions within the bank. vonnie: i have seen some criticism over the last couple of days that the bank might be trying to clean up its act, but it's really shifting around executives. these executives were all there as the crises were building and malevolent actions were being performed. laura: and that is a fair criticism that none of these executives can run away from. mary mack was with the bank for many years, a few decades actually. she worked elsewhere within the bank and the advisors area, the brokerage unit. theses they are when things were going on, but she was not part of the retail bank. they brought her into really overhaul that part. vonnie: laura keller, thank you. nejra: coming up, axios
