A tech selloff, disappointing amazon earnings weigh on asian stock. The euro rallies against the frank for the highest level since 2050. 2015. Everyone welcome to bloomberg daybreak europe, our flagship morning show from london. I am anna edwards. We have so much news from the Banking Sector. We brought some of it to you in our headlines. Lets get into samsung. We are getting numbers from this from from the spanish bank right now. That is the head of the estimate of 1. 73. This is the business in transition at the moment.

They are trying to sell these real estate assets. They have until the end of this month to submit their offers. Sale is the the current topic of conversation e up we are getting these cell is the current topic of conversation. We are getting these numbers in. Lets stick with the banking scene. We get the numbers through from that bank of it q2 Second Quarter, 2. 4 billion, ahead of the estimates which was for 1. 9 billion. This is because the equity and prime Services Revenue jumped 26 and surging demand for derivative problems while provisions for bad debt fell. At the same time as other european banks are getting out of Investment Banking, this is a bank that games to become frances largest lender. One of the top three trading and Corporate Banking players across the continent. Lots to talk about in terms of bnp and the rest of the banking it lets get to the Swiss Banking story because ubs has reported that that the estimates. Exceedingion francs, 800. 3 million francs expectations. It also noted pressure on margins, stemming from low rates in switzerland and eurozone. Matt miller has wrapped up an interview the ceo and here is what he had to say about the results. We had strong money for the first half of the year and usually in the u. S. We see some outflows in the Second Quarter for our clients come up paying taxes out of their asses and there is a big component for that. We have growth in our International Businesses of 6. 6 on a very high base and this in construct with the fact we have been reducing client advisory accounts. Demonstrating weaken grow demonstrating we can grow, focusing on quality not quantity. Are on know cost cuts track for 2017, 1. 8 lean francs of cost cuts, net cost savings. The 2. 1 billion looks achievable. Do you think you can over should that . Overshoot that . I think we are confident we can achieve our target, but it is not an easy journey. We are talking about a net cost savings target, so we are absorbing a huge amount of cost coming in from a regulatory changes and Technology Investment that we need to do to keep our competitive edition. In order to offset that, we need to work hard on the actual costbased. Im confident we can get there by the end of the year. Out thatre d. C. Taking further 300 million . Its not a matter of headcount. We focus on optimizing our front infrastructure and announcing productivity and its a mix of different initiatives. When you get down to them last 10 , it is about every single dollar counts and we are focusing on the best. We are also making a lot of investments. It is not about costcutting. Costcutting is not something you can do forever. You cut costs in order to create more capacity to invest in the future. The you mentioned institutional client activity slowing down. I noticed the pretax profit is down 6 in the Second Quarter. This is not surprising considering what we have seen out of u. S. Banks. When do you think that will pick up again . When using Hedge Fund Clients will go back in . We are pleased with the performance of the investment tank, that delivered despite the market condition, a return of 80 on its allocated capital. 18 on its allocated capital. Institutional clients have been on the sidelines and a pickup their and volatilities, its difficult to see a change in behaviors by our clients. We are in the middle of the summer time, which from a seasonal standpoint, not the best time. Im confident, most important for us is to show with our Investment Bank, under any market conditions, we are able to perform, not only to shareholders, but to our clients. Matt let me ask you about brexit. I was fascinating to hear what banks are planning on doing. You are still considering madrid and amsterdam, but you have infrastructure in frankfurt. Think we need to build up different infrastructure and at this stage, its tough to make a call on what we will do. The three options on the table are the ones you mentioned and we will make a decision later, q3 early q4. The good news is we have flexibility and we do not feel when it to put pressure on the withg and find ourselves having done some kind of regrettable moves. Matt what do you think about ballpark figures . About the size of Balance Sheet moves they want to make and balance counts. Weand the last few months, have been reducing the amount of options on the table. The number of headcount at the of the day will very on vary on how much front and back unique to move and this is a consequence of not only your legal set up in london and in the continent, but also the kind of the regulatory requirements and Political Solutions that will be found. That is the reason im talking about, not triggering regrettable moves. You start to move or not move and you find out after a few months that Political Solutions or Regulatory Solutions were found to minimize not only the banks,c consequences for but its very important to understand what are the systemic and market distortions you may moves that areg not sustainable longterm. Matt we still have optimism for softer brexit at least as far as it impacts financials . Im optimistic both sides will find a winwin solution or rather lose lose situation. Notpe the ideology will prevail versus Pragmatic Solutions that takes into consideration the needs of both parties. Anna talking about the hopes for a winwin situation to come out of the brexit talks. We will see if his insight proves to be accurate. Much more through the day. Thell show you where you on asia equity story and other stories that have been developing overnight. Fascinating stories around the currency. We will get more details in the moment from juliet.
