Speaker 2: Here are these stories we're following today.
Speaker 3: Well, John, the S and P five hundred is coming
Speaker 3: off its biggest four day rally of the year. It's
Speaker 3: gained four and a half percent during that stretch. Yesterday,
Speaker 3: the Nasdaq one hundred climb two and a half percent.
Speaker 3: In Wall Street's favorite volatility gauge, the VIS, tumbled to
Speaker 3: around eighteen. Sema Shaw, Chief Global strategistic Principal Asset Management,
Speaker 3: is still bullish on the markets even if there.
Speaker 4: Is a genuine economic slowdown coming through. Given the resilience
Speaker 4: and the balance sheet strength of households and corporates, is
Speaker 4: it likely that EFFED can't come to save the US
Speaker 4: economy with various red cuts. So I put the chance
Speaker 4: of recession fairly low, which means an after a bit
Speaker 4: of volatility and pullback, I think the actually market can
Speaker 4: still ecout some positive gains.
Speaker 3: Principal Asset Management Sema Shaw notes that swaps trade is
Speaker 3: a priced in about forty basis points in FED cuts
Speaker 3: in September and a total rate reduction of more than
Speaker 3: one hundred and five basis points for twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2: rising less than expected, and later this morning we're gonna
Speaker 2: get the latest reading on consumer prices. Sarah House is
Speaker 2: in your ACOUNTABIS at Wells Fargo Corporate and Investment Banking.
Speaker 5: We're looking for a zero point two percent increase on booth,
Speaker 5: the headline and the core. So that's in line with
Speaker 5: the consensus, but I think the details are going to
Speaker 5: be really important. So to what extent are we still
Speaker 5: seeing outright goods deflation and are we seeing more progress
Speaker 5: on the services side, both in housing but also the
Speaker 5: non housing services that have been such a such a
Speaker 5: concern for the Fed.
Speaker 2: Wells Fargo's Sarah House. Now, if the consensus holds, it
Speaker 2: would mark the smallest three month increase for core inflation
Speaker 2: since early twenty twenty one.

Speaker 6: inflation that really got the attention of traders. That measure
Speaker 6: fell from five point seven percent to five point two percent.
Speaker 6: Core inflation also fell to its lowest since September twenty
Speaker 6: twenty one. The better than expected data saw investors fully
Speaker 6: price two more quarter point cuts in UK interst rates
Speaker 6: this year. In London, I'm une parts Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, thanks to you and staying in Europe. Shares

Speaker 7: i am but to restore the profitability because the amount
Speaker 7: of task to be done is huge. But I'm confident
Speaker 7: that we are on a good way to deliver.

Speaker 2: book another one point one billion dollars in integration related
Speaker 2: expenses in the third quarter.
Speaker 3: In Asia, John Japan is going to be looking for
Speaker 3: a new leader once again. Fumio Kashida is withdrawing from

Speaker 9: fighter jets, everything from vehicles, ammunition, radar equipment.
Speaker 10: It's a big deal.
Speaker 9: It's got a lot in it, but the reality is
Speaker 9: that these planes are not going to come at least
Speaker 9: until twenty twenty nine, so there's some years away.
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Rhons Mathison reports the US paused weapons shipments to
Speaker 2: Israel and May over concerns that could be used against
Speaker 2: civilians in Gaza. Two key Democrats drop their opposition to
Speaker 2: this weapon sale in June.

Speaker 12: forcing Google to share more data with competitors and measures
Speaker 12: to prevent it from gaining an unfair advantage in AI products. Now,

Speaker 17: This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. On a morning of big
Speaker 3: bank earnings. UBS posted higher than expected profit in the
Speaker 3: second quarter as investment banking revenue and progress in the
Speaker 3: integration of Credit Suite helped CEO Sergio or Mahdi's efforts
Speaker 3: to return capital to shareholders. Sergio or Mahdi joined Bloomberg's
Speaker 3: Fancy in Lanqua to talk about the results and how
Speaker 3: higher volatility could be good for client portfolios. Let's listen
Speaker 3: in for the.
Speaker 17: Markets and for many investors.
Speaker 7: You know, what happened early on this month has been
Speaker 7: a week up cal away up cool right, So I
Speaker 7: mean you look at the magnitude of the movements should
Speaker 7: make people think carefully about.
Speaker 17: Having a proper diversification and being very total about the
Speaker 17: way you invest. More so, in that sense, the fact
Speaker 17: that we have.
Speaker 7: Basically made back everything within one week or two cannot
Speaker 7: be taken as a you know, temporary issues. In my
Speaker 7: point of view, one has to really think that probably
Speaker 7: is a sign of some elements of fragility in the system.
Speaker 11: Does it get easier as maybe we get a FED cut,
Speaker 11: or does it get more complicated as we go to
Speaker 11: the US election?
Speaker 17: But look, you know.
Speaker 7: When central bank cuts, it depends how they cut and
Speaker 7: why they cut.
Speaker 17: So if.
Speaker 7: You know, of course there is now a capacity probably
Speaker 7: to accommodate cuts based on lower.
Speaker 17: Inflation, but it's also you know, we need to watch.
Speaker 7: Exactly also what are the underlying economic drivers.
Speaker 17: And to the extent that the FED is.
Speaker 7: Forced to cut more aggressively because of economic downturns, that
Speaker 7: would not really be good for the market, so we
Speaker 7: need to really watch why rates would come down and
Speaker 7: how quickly they come down. In general, we do expect
Speaker 7: and we see room for a potential rate cuts in
Speaker 7: the foreseable future, but I wouldn't really be in the
Speaker 7: camp of predicting that the FED will go as far
Speaker 7: as the market wants the.
Speaker 17: FED to go.
Speaker 11: There's been a lot of focus on private markets. How
Speaker 11: does that interplay actually change and what does it mean
Speaker 11: for ubs now?
Speaker 17: The big change in client.
Speaker 7: Behaviors we saw in the last twenty four months was
Speaker 7: clearly more diversification towards fixed income and so on and
Speaker 7: so forth.
Speaker 17: When the rates comes down, of course, maybe part of
Speaker 17: it will go to search for higher yield in maybe
Speaker 17: in private credit, but not only.
Speaker 7: But we do believe that as rates comes down, you
Speaker 7: will see also potentially people moving back to more alternative assets.
Speaker 17: And also, which is.
Speaker 7: Important to understand the ed winds we face in the industry,
Speaker 7: but also at US in NII in margins on interest
Speaker 7: rates will be also upset by clients taking more leverage potentially,
Speaker 7: So it depends how it plays out, It depends what
Speaker 7: are the underlying economic dynamics.
Speaker 11: Do you worry that there could be a systemic risk
Speaker 11: for semi systemic risks.
Speaker 17: I don't think so. No, I don't think I don't
Speaker 17: see systemic risk. But volatility.
Speaker 7: High volatility doesn't mean that you have systemic risks.
Speaker 11: But what does it mean? High volatility means you need.
Speaker 17: To be higher volatility? I mean, to be honest, I
Speaker 17: think if you look at high.
Speaker 7: Volatility can be an absolute or a relative concept. So
Speaker 7: because we have seen solo volatility in the last few quarters,
Speaker 7: you know, I do believe that we're going to see
Speaker 7: higher volatility. If this is very high and permanently, it's
Speaker 7: another matter, but I do believe we're going to see
Speaker 7: more volatility.
Speaker 12: So it can be quarterly results.
Speaker 11: If I don't ask you about hiring or actually job losses,
Speaker 11: can you give us an update on what the next
Speaker 11: six and then twelve months will bring well you, so that.
Speaker 17: You know the restructuring.
Speaker 7: And fixing the elements of problems in the integration are
Speaker 7: unfortunately driving job losses. We are We took down around
Speaker 7: three thousand counties quarter, so I think that we will
Speaker 7: continue to do that in order to restore the profitability
Speaker 7: UBS had before the appuisition.
