2:33 am

let's turn back to the corporate news as we count our way down to the market open. ep churning out more profit in offeringd quarter reassurance to investors about its financial strength after announcing its biggest deal in almost two decades with bhp. joining us now, bob dudley, bps ceo and also our correspondent. as you sat down you said it, great deals followed by great numbers, gearing down the debt, all this is a message to investors. bob: it shows more confidence that we have had in a long time, we delivered results and exceeded it, our gearing is coming down, amos that confidence to raise the dividend in 15 quarters. we have momentum and people are pleased. we keep advancing. weple were concerned that were off to the races and we were going to break our financial framework and the
2:40 am
number one message is we will stay in the $15 billion to 17 billion dollars of capital framework and continue to invest assets to offset part of this deal and we will continue to increase distributions for shareholders, discipline is the main word and we were are -- we are planning in the [indiscernible] rather than these higher prices. guidingre also investors to expect that your spending will be at the bottom of the range. it seems you are setting the same, how do you see [indiscernible] bob: it depends on the oil price. it feels firmer rather than softer. there is a lot of uncertainty in the market. we are not planning for these higher oil prices but this deal will be effective as of july 1 and closes in october. the first part of the deal is likely to be at higher prices. the company is working well
2:41 am
operationally. we brought on three new projects and three more to do before the end of the year. things are on track. heavier: why are you looking -- what are you looking at at the moment? political,d to be geopolitical uncertainty was not clear and it was not priced in. you look at the uncertainty in sanctions, of venezuela is a human tragedy unfolding and that will affect markets. you have outages in libya and nigeria from time to time and you have tensions coming out of the persian gulf. on the other side demand is keeping up, production is keeping up. u.s. production will rise, it is bottlenecked in the permian basin. there are offsetting factors but it feels like it is firmer rather than softer for the rest of the year. guy: the second half of the air when you look at the balance sheet, you are the second half of the year looks glass
2:42 am
half-full? that is the vibe you're getting? bob: on this transaction with a hp, half of it in cash, half an equity to be started to be paid over six months from october onwards, that gives us the chance of issuing equity or the cash so we have options out there. we are making sure we are within framework, thehe vesting assets to offset the dilution effect. we have options here. guy: capex is at the bottom of the range. because there-- is deflation at the bottom of the supply chain? is it because the deals that are being done were done at the bottom and therefore the supplies that you were dealing with were giving you a good price? : we are seeing around the world not really oilfield inflation. there is lots of rigs in the in korea thatds were so filled are looking for business. where still seeing some deflation and the oil and gas
2:43 am
industry with the exception of certain services and they are moving up in north america because it is a heated activity but broadly, we are able to do 40% more per dollar of activity than we did for five years ago, $100 oil. structures have come down. we are able to commit to the same range through 2021. javier: the only black spot on your numbers -- it is rare to see bp losing money and trading. bob: we have a great trading organization but once in a while, it does not always comment on the plus side so a very small loss. i am not worried about it, it is a great team. the gas side made money. wti was [inaudible] bob: a lot of people got caught up in the bottleneck, in the
2:44 am
permian, we had some of that. not to be repeated. guy: when you are looking forward and trying to figure out what is going on, do you worry and you slightly answered this , are we in a situation where we are under investing? you could do more with less but is there a risk of under investing? exxon is pushing hard but no one else is at the moment. bob: to keep within this frame, we have more activity going on now than we ever have, seven ledger projects last year, six this year, more next year, we can do it in that frame. we are bringing in lots of activity. for us, i feel pretty comfortable with the levels of investment we have. the industry worries about not spending enough, it repeats those figures. there is some truth in that broadly in the industry but what people are not saying is you can
2:45 am
do more with the dollar today that you could have before. it is not quite as dramatic. the pluses on the result, you have a big investment in russia, taking care of that relationship. how is the business going on in russia? is a professional oil company. you should look at the materials presented. hass a company that restructured itself, it has more to do, and is highly leveraged, you can see it coming through in the results. i am optimistic about the teacher of rosneft to. future of rosneft. it is getting better. numberss is a set of the market is likely to react strongly to. you are talking about things getting that are at the gearing is coming down. how many more boxes will bob dudley tick?
2:46 am
bob: we are getting back to the way we should be at the company. we say the company is firing on all cylinders, all those things are operating at levels that they should be. we turned around and retooled the company over seven years so it would be good to get back to being efficient. mountain to climb at the beginning, you are at the peak now. i assume this may be not the peak but close. things are as you say back on an even keel. it has been a tough mountain to climb. do you stick around and enjoy take theor do you cable car down? bob: i love what i do, i survey the pleasure of the board and we have a fantastic team, a real team of people. every once in a while you work with a high performing and this has been high-performing for
2:47 am
years now, it is a joy to work with them. javier: you continue traveling and you are talking to peers. how do you see the global economy doing especially with trade wars, we have real trade wars question mark -- wars? we -- our projections, 3.1 this year, 2.9 next year, global demand for oil and gas still rising. aside of all these tensions, we do not see it in the near term affecting our business in the energy markets. guy: thanks for coming to see us. bob dudley, the ceo of bp. let's get a bloomberg business flash area -- flash. juliette: credit suisse is giving investors reason to stay with the bank through the end of its three-year restructuring.
2:48 am
revenue beat analyst estimates with this with universal rank doing better than expected on revenue and adjusted pretax profit. international wealth management had a profit of 461 million francs which was above expectations. standard chartered's ceo bill winters is getting close to meeting his targets for the bank. beating estimates and profit 2.5 billionp to dollars. return on equity climbed to 6.7% and the bank said it was confident of reaching its 8% target in the medium-term. cfo andychartered helfer joins us for an exclusive interview at 9:30 a.m. u.k. time . that is your bloomberg business flash. matt: thanks very much. the markets leaders have gone missing this earnings season. from morgan stanley, that is a
2:49 am
worrying sign that the stock rally may have exhausted itself. here to tell us more is dani burger. morgan stanley says we are in the middle of the coming correction that will be worse than february for u.s. stocks. the me take you and show you what is going on. the market leaders have gone missing even though more than 85% of u.s. stocks have eaten their earnings estimates. i want you to concentrate on this blue line. this is momentum. show me --owing saying show me the best winning stocks. though stocks you can see on the blue line have fallen the most since 2006. these are what have been leading the markets, they are gone. what could take over? when we think of good earnings, stocks, of cheap lifting the markets because you need earnings for cheap things to do well. yesterday they went up. so unless this action, the white
2:50 am
line continues upward, we are not going to have any market leaders and morgan stanley says this is the reason where about to enter a correction. -- we are about to enter a correction. matt: thanks for joining us. bloomberg's markets and -- reporter. asian stocks were mixed while the yen fluctuated, it did not change. japan government wants jumped after the hike of japan [inaudible] but got back to the level that the bank wants to see the map. joining us now is mark cranfield, bloomberg mliv strategist. like muchalmost to me ado about nothing. we did not really see any assets move around much with the and they onlygb's move in context of the intended -- incredibly tight range they are trading in. what do you make of the fallout from the huge a decision so far?
2:51 am
mark: the range is going to get bigger. the most important thing that has come out so far from mr. kuroda is press conference is that he sees the range on the 10 year yields doubling. in the context of other markets like treasuries and bunds, these are relatively small numbers. but for someone like me who is old enough to remember the jgb markets used to be the most fun to trade, that is great news. we need some more in jgb's and mr. kuroda has given us that by saying that range can get wider in the 10 year yield sector. it is not going to be as exciting as treasuries, but at least they will move around and the boj is going to be led by the market to some extent as to where the high point in the 10 year yield could be. it sounds like it will be something like 0.2% rather than 0.1% so that you are. -- there you are. guy: is in this confirmation
2:52 am
that the boj will get -- struggle to get inflation where wants to be? when you think about where the ecb is an to wonder whether or not it is going to be able to deliver on its inflation expectations and you go a step further and think about the fed area this is confirmation that exiting from qe is going to be phenomenally cold. of course. the bank of japan has to can send with a country -- contend with a country that is notorious for saving more than it needs too. getting people out to increase spending is difficult at the best of times and when they are cautious it is hard. and the government is still talking about increasing sales tax. it looks like that will help in -- happen as well. it might shock the country into some action but the boj job is
2:53 am
the most difficult. they really are working against an ingrained nature. who knows, we could be talking about this for a couple of years that inflation still is not hitting the target. i want to point out also that we talk about this like it is a nightmarish disaster but if i think of myself as personally living and the kind of environment with no inflation and no deflation, that is not a horrible thing. is life in japan really as scary as it looks for central bank watchers? the difficult thing for japan is you have an aging population where they have a lot of savings. if they had ever turn on those savings, if the people with all that cash could get a positive return, they would go out and spend it. even if it was just going to restaurants and going to buy simple things in the shops.
2:54 am
but because they're not getting any return at all on their money, it is reducing the activity that they do in the wider economy. this is why it is so difficult. the population is shrinking as well. these factors are working against it. it is an interesting case study. there is no easy answer to it right now. guy: thank you. the return on their savings has got to be higher than inflation, right? so at least the things they are buying are not getting more expensive or have i got that wrong? mark: there is demand in certain sectors. cpi isforget the outdated. even for somewhere like
2:55 am
tokyo you would see that there is inflation in certain areas, where you have demand. for the products they want there is some inflation, yes. absolutely not. thanks very much. coverage continues. just go to our equities team. covering credit suisse. talk me through it. what have you got for credit suisse? quarter net revenue, what a beat it was, estimates were for 5.30 5 billion. their key international wealth management unit as well as the international bank posted higher-than-expected earnings. he was saying it was the best quarterly profit in three years.

3:00 am
at the moment as we go to the open. not a lot happening in index level. --a stock, plenty area plenty. let's find out what the indexes look like as we go into the open here in europe. this is how we are opening. ftse 100 77 on the nose. i don't think they will move us very far. slightly positive so far. so the cause i'm seeing indicate flat and some indicate a positive start. ibex tax and smi all expected to open. the ftse struggling to get away from that 77 line. honest, not much to see on index level. let's sure you with a heat map looks like.
3:01 am
it's the imap function on your bloomberg. energy looks pretty well bid at the moment. material looking a little on offer. let's see how credit lease is trading. get us an idea of what going on with that kind and shall. goodnal households in trading stronger. health care is where we are see our log that seeing the losses. seeing, well we are seeing the stoxx 600 to the downside but we are seeing more gainers than losers so it's slightly positive. unit hundred 65 winners, two or 55 losers. the market is dragging on -- this is dragging the stock hundred. i don't think any companies are
3:02 am
only one, ramy contrail, has gone next dividend. otherwise you don't see any ex dividend losers. year seen this one helping to billy the stocks hundred. a couple of big movers on openings is morning. up by 4/10 ofning 1%. spanish economy grew .6% in the fourth order the us it was .7%. let's talk about your with the european markets and europe were we go next. we have a ftse 100 that is positive this morning. ibex that is positive. the dax that is not open yet. and smi that is mildly negative. you can't take much away from an
3:03 am
index level story this morning. yesterday was all about tech. story ofcertainly the the u.s.. socgen.s us now from did we just get us in a little bit of a tizzy, anticipating the boj would deliver more than it was ever going to do? kit: -- do? we never got any indication they would do anything official at this meeting. the bond market got excited and we pushed yields up 10 basis points in the not much happened. it will be like this every time. to startgoing to have moving towards normalization
3:04 am
overtime. in our lifetime? kit: i think so. you can't just keep wondering doing the same thing and saying i have to go on doing it because not working. we know there are unintended consequences. there are side effects from these policies. they need to normalize rather than just stay ad infinitum while we still have no inflation. idea toell be a better get us used to having a currency that ulcerative fair value, to have a yield curve positively sloped, to have people earning money on deposit. weaning ourselves off the addiction to these politics that we've got is i'm not sure it's helping at the. here you see live pictures
3:05 am
of corona who is still speaking. he is saying that he believes raising the range is beneficial and so he's going to let 10 year 2/10 twofrom plus -210. still, i think, by any measure any really tight range. closer tolp them get his inflation target? how does it help them control the curve? how will it be beneficial? kit: he needs to get himself the market at the moment we don't have a free market, we don't have a proper market in japanese hans. the first thing the bank of japan needs to do is wean us off our diction to them. but the market find its own level. then we will see where we go from there. in a sense you could say, the current policy is it working are
3:06 am
helping. -- working or helping. the economy is doing ok and wages are doing a day but this is about now saying, whatever else happens, we need to get ourselves out of the market without causing chaos because we are not helping. -- guy: it sounds really easy to do when you put it like that. they own massive amounts of etf. they control the jgb market. i agree entirely. moving to a slightly wider range on your program might be the first babies that's and is a good step to take. fivelicymakers are after of 10 year yields going over 3% in the u.s. or equity markets falling for an second or emerging markets leaving us
3:07 am
addicted 10 years after the crisis to all of these exceptional policy, we're still going to be here in 10 years time. we have to start somewhere even steps you take are pathetically small. enough area -- enough. matt: we have a great chart that hillary and i put together like i've years ago. central bank balance sheet as a is and is of the country's gdp and it's shocking how deep in it the bank of japan has got itself. the white line here is the u.s. at 20%. the blue line is ecb. the yellow line is the bank of japan looking at almost its entire gdp being held for the same size by the bank of japan. detrimental to a country's economy? or have we just learned that it's no big deal? they are kind
3:08 am
of printing of this my themselves? we know there are unintended side effect we're not come to with but perhaps it's ok to have the alan sheet big. but can we stop growing it? slowlyfinding out very about how this effect other bits of the economy. there's all sorts of this coming through from these policies that have taken years to sweep through to our consciousness. i think it may be dangerous and it certainly dangerous to keep it going ever upward as a first step. stabilizing would be a sensible plan. to day they inclined addiction to almost anything is bad in some way.
3:09 am
he's going to stick around and we will stay addicted to him for a while. no, i have another 32nd. what is the ripple effect coming off this? what is the effect into other -- asset classes? you say to small move into a huge way. -- huge way. kit: small enough they might get away with it. japan are the holder of the biggest investment position overseas. they own tons of foreign assets that they may sell, they may add to, they may hedge. that's where the ripple happen. guy: doesn't get bigger? kit: it can. between -0.2% and
3:10 am
positive 0.2%. firstlook at it as the death of a step is coming soon, it will have an effect. the bank of japan just have to get on with it at him state as quickly as they know how. we will keep you with because there's more to talk about. kit juckes is going to stay with us. we will bring you our exclusive interview with the finance chief of thef the -- chief drug giant. this is bloomberg. ♪
3:13 am
guy: welcome back. the "europeang open." sanofi has predicted a return to growth. drug company biggest medicine is an aging diabetes medicine. it's the sanofi cso. thank you for taking some time to join us this morning. there was a bit of surprise earlier in the year that you weren't raising guidance and that was creating a few concerns
3:14 am
that maybe there were some worries out there that you guys weren't really indicating to the market. you have raised guidance now. what is your sense of what the second half is going to look like? what you think the rest of the year looks like or the business? we thought the first half was clearly challenging because of andgetting pressure exclusive it's a. consequence,, as a we posted flat part of it -- flat profit or slightly increased rocket. eight few things are going to drive growth. we are going to see more growth from the launch of our new products. we are also going to see our
3:15 am
back seen business getting back to growth after a bit of a challenging first half. ,f i put all that together vaccine ended up more representative in the second half because we are selling more flu vaccine and is will provide growth. and you will have the full effect of a recent acquisition. altogether, this is what is going to drive growth in which will allow us to get to 3.5%. it means that the eps will grow faster in the second half by about -- than the 1.5% in the second half. -- in the first half. matt: let me talk to about the
3:16 am
products in the market is this thing. drugmakersher big have said that in a hold off on pricing rhesus in the u.s.. that was your statement of the beginning of the year. please stick with this policy? inflation?t medical jerome: the -- inflation? jerome: the answer is yes. i have been hearing and seeing what is happening in the u.s. and the concern about price and the availability of drugs for patients. the trump administration and the parliament are trying to discuss the blueprint and ways to transmit this reasonable control of pricing for drugs towards the patients. it's not a smooth endeavor
3:17 am
knowing how complex the u.s. market is that we, as our as we are concerned, are somewhat proud to be a bit ahead of the number of our competitors. weh this right strategy that showed two years ago. we would stick to that and not increased rises on drugs the on medical inflation and priced drugs based on the scale of the second -- economy. in must've been a little bit concerning, right? is that policy weighing on your bottom line and mark are you having trouble increasing rockets or are you able to offset and stay with new drugs in the market? jerome: that's a good question. i think it was a bit of an easy life in this industry to just increase prices to make your profits.
3:18 am
now, and this has been around and not just the u.s.. and other countries are more used to that. the way to beat it is to have more drugs and more medications being provided to product -- to patients and the diversity of your portfolio. a geographic standpoint as well. create cost savings and reduce the cost of bringing a drug to market. marketing and commercial efficiency area in short, it's normal cost of business and it's true that you cannot expect to grow your top line price increases so you have to have other option. including new drugs in brought to patient.
3:19 am
it fits well with what we are doing. [crosstalk] the delay is slightly confusing is here. you have a new head of r&d. they are listening to what you are saying on cost-efficient the and the need to keep the purse strings under control. when a regard to find out how much money that new head of our and he is owing to be a which is than the? what does it look like to you? the inflation rate is high. what message are you communicating to the r&d department about how much they've got? the new head of r&d just name a few weeks ago so it's a
3:20 am
little early to tell how he will refocus on the efforts around spending. he has a budget which goes somewhere between 5.82 6 billion euros. it's not a small budget. the way we're going to work together is to europe how to be more productive and make trials more efficient. spend less time on one phase to another and being a better organization with more effective. we started that five or six years ago but he will do a great job to bring a new step into this endeavor to improve our efficient. it will refocus a bit more on these pending around really differentiated capabilities.
3:21 am
accelerating the time for new drugs to come to market and the notmal way to do that using only trial processes but also evidence, and more of the digital capabilities. matt: you have been using ai, you have been using big it's a in order to try and improve the efficiency of your liv-ex name. i know you're looking in that ends. in what other ways are you using ai and big data in your business? how long until we know of the efficacy of using artificial intelligence? it's a good question and probably longer than two minutes. one is around r&d and using data
3:22 am
available to continue to track real life efficacy and safety. and the productivity you can get there just tremendous. the second is around access and marketing. we are getting into more digital marketing, very different accesses to physicians. when it comes to prescribing new drugs. it's also an area where we are starting to resubmit productivity. but it matters on what drug you are working with. the third area is more around manufacturing. monitoringing to plants of the future. basis, much more of a
3:23 am
remote manufacturing and better efficiency on the cost of production. these are the areas of improvement. i would say in two or three ideasto calm, he was see create productivity area -- productivity. guy: great speaking with you this morning. the sanofi ceo. the share price has bounced back privateow flat area banking in the swiss unit compensated for little bit of trading week is. join us now from zero is francine lacqua area -- from is francineich
3:24 am
lacqua. >> i think he is relieved that he said this is basically now a trend. he said after the initial skepticism is starting to show results. this was pretty straightforward. if you look at most of the analyst expectations, what we got was better. he focused a lot on net new assets. i asked him if there was a market correction and how would impact and he said it's difficult to know what he was trying to explain to me the hedge. even if there's a big downturn in the markets in the outflows happened quite significantly, they could find revenue and other parts of the business. a try to press them on was global markets and a lot of investors think they are below par compared to their competitors but he was telling me global markets are just
3:25 am
