So for the moment, I 64 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: do think that our clients are hopeful, but in a 65 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: wait and see pattern.

Let's hear more now from 203 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: our interview with the CEO of UBS, Ralph Hammers. The 204 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: Swiss bank reported earnings this morning that mostly fell flat. 205 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 1: UBS underperformed its US counterparts, equities revenue slumped, and the 206 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: bank failed to match gains from its peers in fixed 207 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: income trading. It's the first glimpse and how European investment 208 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: banks performed during the most recent quarter. Ralph Hammers says 209 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: last year was marked by a challenging macroeconomic environment. Let's 210 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: get more on the UBS CEOs thoughts and the path ahead. 211 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: In a conversation with Bloomberg's Manus Cranny Blahamas, CEO of 212 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: ubscot to see you this morning, said a numbers, buy back, dividend, 213 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: all glowing headlines, but if you look at the net income, 214 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: it's driven by interesting five percent bump from interest income. 215 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: Is this the peak of interest income? Can it squeeze higher? Well? So, indeed, 216 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: we had a very good set of numbers in the 217 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and not only on the income side, but 218 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: specifically also in the an aligning flow side. Twenty three 219 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: billion of that new fee generating assets eleven billion of 220 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: net new money nine billion of net new deposits, basically 221 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: showing the trust of our customers to basically place the 222 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: money with us and for us to help them manage it. 223 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: On the back of that, clearly with lower market values 224 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: on the fee income that was a bit lower, but 225 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: the interest income really came through. It is very much 226 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: the dollar effect and the space Frank effect now as well. 227 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: On the dollar effect, we feel most like and most 228 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: likely peaked. However, there's more to come on euro and 229 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: certainly also on the swift rank. Just two weeks ago 230 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: it was the feeling that maybe we're near the top 231 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: of these central bank in terms of the hiking cycle. 232 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: Specifically the Fed. Paul Krugman joined this, yes, and he said, 233 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: be careful, stop getting over your skis and overconfident on inflation. 234 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: Are you overconfident and picked on inflation? Um, we may 235 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: have picked on inflation, but it doesn't mean that these 236 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: center banks will not further increase some rates. Just to 237 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: be sure, I do think that they are very clear 238 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: in terms of what they want to achieve. They really 239 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: want to get the structural inflation down and that could 240 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: come along with a real deceleration of economic growth. I 241 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: think the recipe is that we rather have a short 242 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: term pain with a long term gain then not being 243 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: tough enough in order to get that inflation back to 244 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: that level. And that is what I think central banks 245 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 1: have in their minds. In the fourth quarter, you had 246 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: some short term pain. The piece of down seventeen per 247 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: cent transactions we downe in nineteen percent? Is that the 248 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: worst is that? Is that the deer of the side 249 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: lining of wealth engine clients. Well, if you look at 250 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: at the different components on the wealth management side. So 251 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: first what is important is that you see that the 252 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: trust is there and that clients come to you that 253 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: busically shows that we have the right professional services, we 254 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: have the right products, we have the right advice, we 255 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: can take them through a period of challenges and and clarity. 256 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: That period of unclarity is still there. Right. So we 257 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: see positive news coming from China, We see positive news 258 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: coming on on on also inflation. We see some light 259 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: life back in the leverage capital markets, which is normally 260 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: a leading indicator. However, all early all early movements, so 261 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: I don't think there was a trend there yet. So 262 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: for the moment, I do think that our clients are 263 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: hopeful but in a wait and see pattern. But there 264 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: has been a move to risk on as busy debate 265 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: one monthment it's going to move to risk on assets. 266 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: You use the word sideline for well management clients in 267 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Are they nibbling? Are they active in 268 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: acquiring risk on client wisconses. That's not what we see. 269 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: We truly see that they are waiting for more clarity 270 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: to come, and I think that's wise. We really want 271 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: to make sure that there is more visibility. I do 272 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: think that the coming weeks will bring with that more visibility. 273 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: We see these center banks coming to the market. We 274 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: see the New Year's, the Chinese New Year's behind us, 275 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: and see whether the positivism coming from China will continue. 276 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: We see corporate earnest coming through in the next couple 277 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: of weeks as well. So I think the couple of 278 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks from different sites will give 279 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: us much more data points to get a feel for 280 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: should we be risk on or not. And that's the 281 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: CEO of UBS, Ralph Hammer's speaking with Bloomberg's Mannis Cranny 282 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: this morning. Earnings from UVS are underwhelming investors. Revenue from 283 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: the bank's Equities division felt in the latest quarter, business 284 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: from foreign exchange ray send credit did grow, but at 285 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: a rate around half what US banks saw in the period, 286 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: And right now we're watching shares of ubs fall there 287 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:14,479 Speaker 1: down three point six percent.
