million.rting at $27 good news is the industry is up. sales are picking up. it is what we're going to be discussing with the head of the british marine federation later in the hour. >> ryan, thank you so much. money is a little bit steep but i can see us on that. >> definitely. sales not picking up for retailers. maybe in the luxury yacht department, not so much for marks & spencer's. christmas figures later this week, speculation this weekend has not been very positive. hams out last week with a profit warning. are we going to see a squeeze over christmas? the market is really worried about that. . cap >> we will continue to keep an eye on the u.s. where more than 9000 fights -- flights have been canceled over the last several days. more than 1500 flights were

canceled at chicago o'hare airport. the region is also bracing for another blast of bitter cold that could break decades-long records. we have futures looking at china. we are watching retailers. we are watching the chancellor. but also we watching? >> services in the europe and u.k. and interest rates. what will futures traders do with u.k. interest rate? they are already betting that rates in the u.k. will be at 1% by almost this time next year. as francine said, it is a fairly muted opening. we have the core of europe getting ever so slightly. the dax rising by 0.3%. commerce bank rising by 0.3%. nothing that dramatic there. you will get the european services data. italy and france are set to contract.

the u.k. is expected to have a pretty strong run of numbers. cfos are the most optimistic in 3.5 years in the united kingdom. risk appetite is at a six-year high in the u.k.. all of that could translate into employment which can translate into those knockouts for the governor of the bank of england in terms of the 7% unemployment level. what is driving the market? we have got -- they had a tortured time in the close of last year in terms of positions -- provisions. it is about some of the retailers. marks & spencer's, we will tell you what their numbers were as we've gone up -- run up to thursday. the market is expecting marks & spencer's to deliver a look kind -- flat to negative one percent. there is a couple other stocks

that i thought we should have a quick look at. complex, copper coming down. inventories are dropping in london, shanghai and new york. we haven't seen that since 2012. gold, traders the most bullish since december, 2012. crude oil rises about 0.25%. you will get more u.s. data later on today which should prove interesting in terms of the growth. tesco rising by 0.6%. where did you buy your turkey? back to you. >> did you go to tesco? the question of the day from ennis cranny. our next question -- guest says the beginning of said tapering this month will have a limited impact on equities. a a chief investment officer. great to have you on the program. thanks for coming in.

year is it going to be the of central banks? will you see a divergence? >> it will be a year in which there is intense focus on central banks. it is going to be a year in which we begin to think about when the tightening process is going to start. last year was the year of the easing process and doing -- ending. in a years time, we will be thinking about 2015 -- that is probably going to be a year in which some countries and restraint are going to go up. >> for the moment, tapering is my tightening. >> tapering is not tightening. tapering is easing less quickly. >> when do you expect investors to start panicking about tightening? >> i don't think investors will start panicking about tightening. i think there will be a fitness in the investment markets between looking towards monetary policy and easing to driving thegs, to starting to get

stimulus from actual economic performance and corporate performance. adjustmentt is the in psychology that needs to take place in equity markets. bond markets are much tougher. higher short-term interest rates mean that their market in bonds is likely to continue. >> you have the u.s. and the beingasically easing off very loose with monetary policy. you have the ecb and the bank of japan doing the contrary. what does it mean for investors? japanfar as the bank of is concerned, it still needs to validate its policies and it still needs the reaction of the economy. there is a fiscal tightening coming up which is going to hit consumers. i think there is a bit of a question mark over how the japanese economy is going to perform this year. that will maintain pressure on the monetary authorities to maintain a relatively easy start there. in europe, there is going to be slightly more difficulty. countries like germany are

seeing a pickup in momentum. in southern europe, momentum is better than people had expected it to be. if we think about a year ago or 18 months ago, i think the problem economy within the euro area is france. >> we are going to talk about france. industry groups in china. what is your biggest concern overall? >> it is definitely france for the eurozone. of the it is the balance world economy and how people's expectations are going to emerge. at the moment i see this as a western-but growth cycle. u.s.-led is most important within that. >> end-user much for now. -- thank you so much for now. here is a look at what is coming up on "on the move." competition cuts into htc. even iran than can't reverse the sales slump. the battle for mobile. which tech companies are hoping

to profit from the spying spat? the london boat show set sail. we have more from ryan chilcote on the state of the marina district. keep it right here. we are "on the move." ♪

>> welcome back. i am francine lacqua in london. this is "on the move" on bloomberg television, radio and streaming on your tablet. here is a look at a stock that

is on the move. rsa insurance. it is gaining some 5.3%. was on the most preferred list and we have an article in the sunday telegraph saying the rsa review by pwc sees no more write-downs. a little bit of good news for rsa. the u.k. chancellor george osborne will set out his vision for more spending cuts in a speech later today. he is aiming for lower taxes. for more on all of this, let's bring in jonathan ferro. what are we expecting? >> i think this is really about setting us up for the year ahead. we are living in one of the fastest-growing economies in the developed world. unemployment is falling, economic activity is rising. what is in store for 2014? it is time to face up to hard truths according to mr. osborne. 's you thought the government pursestrings would be loosened, you were wrong. austerity is here to stay. we expect to hear from osborne

on a whole host of issues. the question is, how do you fund? not by borrowing, but by further spending cuts. >> looking ahead to next year's election, despite the improvement in the economy it appears that the conservatives are losing support? >> this is key. in some polls it certainly shows that. one recent poll shows 37% of voters supporting the tories in 2010. no longer. austerity has not been very popular. ask people if they feel a little bit richer -- many will answer no. labor, the opposition party believe we are in a cost-of- living prices. -- crisis. they are losing half of that 37% to the anti-european party. this is centered around the immigration issue, an issue that has become incredibly politicized but one which is a big concern for many people in

this country. expect some comment on that from mr. osborne today. this is about setting up next year's election. >> interesting. thank you so much. still with us is richard jeffrey. sayingthe break you were that france is your biggest concern for the eurozone. the u.k. seems to be full speed ahead. >> there is an interesting contrast between france and the u.k.. in the u.k. we have taken the right policy measures to try to stop government crowding out the private sector. to encourage the private sector back into wealth creation. that is beginning to work. i don't think we should get too excited about the u.k.. we are not going to get back to the sort of growth rates we saw before the recession. they are a long way off. we are going to see growth. we are going to see employment creation. the key for 2014 for the u.k., are we going to get back onto a more president of productivity -- positive productivity cycle?

in terms of france, i think the government has yet to get to grips with short-term cyclical policies that will start to stimulate activity. it still looks like an economy which is more likely to back fly than it is to make progress. >> what happens to france and the longer run? is there a danger that someone from the right wing comes in or is it going to get worse in terms of economic standards? >> i don't want to make any political cause. france is a decent manufacturing economy. for that manufacturing sector to start to prosper, it has got to get better domestic demand growth coming through or it has got to be able to rely on the international economy. at the moment, it is not finding a stimulus from either direction. >> talk to me about industry groups. the tech year was 2013. he saw amazing valuations in ipos. what is 2013 -- 2014 going to bring? >> people are going to be looking at stocks that are going to benefit from sustained

growth. we are really through the cyclical recovery part of the stock market cycle. nady some more of that to come. i think what investors are going to look for is more obvious growth. we will remain with technology to an extent. >> keep it right there. even ironman isn't saving htc. the taiwanese handset maker posted operating losses after reinvigorating market campaigns. caroline hyde has more. competition continues to hurt sales at htc. >> it continues to be the chinese rivals, lenovo, huawei that are just eating into the market share of htc. cast your mind back to 2011. htc was the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the united states. it had a quarter of the market. the fall from grace has been phenomenal. sales down 29% in the fourth quarter. they're forced -- first full-

year loss. of this fierce competition coming from the likes of the chinese. even the sales of its stake in beats, the headphones maker, it earned them $265 million but that wasn't enough to offset the loss. >> the company has been trying to turn things around but so far no luck. >> you mentioned iron man himself, robert downey junior was employed. he has a two-year contract to be in advertisement for this company. to change the adverts on your screen now. a hot tea catapult? it was just trying to get a cool factor back for htc. that plus the new product hasn't been working out. this is the biggest phone to date for htc. 5.9 inches. fingerprint sensor.

none of it has worked out for them. they even put their cfo, now the head of sales, trying to get new distribution channels out there. overall, it is just not working. this beautiful phone you see in front of me which has had amazing reviews, seems to be one of the best out there, it is not persuading us to go out and buy. >> 2014, isn't looking any brighter? >> analysts say no. competition isn't going to get any better. analysts saying 2014 could be an even worse year for htc, even worse than the 50% loss you saw in 2013. fiercer competition is still going to be there. it is not going to be enough to offset this concern and they are not going to get the repeat sale of beats at 25% holdings. ,e could see further losses further erosion of sales. back to you. >> caroline, thank you so much. let's get back to richard jeffrey.

aboutd, we are talking technology stocks. on the mobile, smartphone sector, it is not only crowded -- it is brutal. >> it is very credit. have you bought a mobile phone recently? there is not a lot of difference between the technology that is offered by sony or samsung or htc or the dreaded iphone. what it is all about is content. that is i think my media is interesting. it is media companies providing a lot of the content. that is where the differentiation is going to come, not necessarily in the hardware. we are not looking for a big techlogies change. >> it is basically content is king. the apps, the media that you look at on your smart phones. is that where investors should be? >> absolutely right. it is where investors need to be positioned. tois not always obvious how play that. a lot of the content is provided

by quite small companies. it is a more difficult area to invest in. i think it will be a profitable area. >> what is your take on retailers? they had a tough christmas period. >> in the u.k., the retailers have had a reasonably tough christmas period. not across the board, you can buy john lewis, they had a pretty good period. there is strong differentiation between performances. -- to gete back to too excited about growth prospects. these are not economies that are off to the races. a our economies that are growing. the obvious constraint on the growth in the u.k. and in the united states is household incomes are still growing in a fairly restrained fashion. >> talk to me about spain. we had some pmi services for septet -- december. it were pretty stellar.

spain is on a good track. we had news that they are selling off real estate. are there opportunities for investors to estimate >> certainly. europe,outhern investors are going to do reasonably well. as i was saying earlier, it is southern europe in a sense which surprised people last year on the upside. it was from a low base, but from that low base, growth is coming through a little bit faster than people had anticipated. there are some good news stories around for investors. >> richard, thank you so much for coming on today. taylor -- teva may name a new ceo this month. could this be a turnaround for the struggling drugmaker? we have more next. ♪

it could face competition as earlier as this year. if that happens, it could make a huge dent in its revenues. shares are languishing at a six- year low following all the problems of late and concerns about competition. there has been talk of teva being broken up perhaps. all those challenges will be in vigodman's way. >> very interesting. thank you so much for that. elliott gotkine with the latest look at teva. after the break, we will head over to ryan chilcote at the london boat show for more on the state of industry. let's have a recap of today's main news. pretty good pmi figures out of spain. this is what a lot of the indices will look for. data, we then have the eurozone pmi data. ibex oneee the imax --

htc's fourth-quarter earnings missed estimates after taiwanese mobilephone maker faces mounting competition. isting me for a closer look -- joining me for a closer look is richard. great to have you on the program. talk to me a little bit about smartphones. it is a very crowded market. very difficult market. how do investors play this? do you need to go for the guys that do the media content or the apps? >> to be honest with you, even some of the applications, you can see some commoditization around that space. the place where i would be looking this year is right at the top of the chain them in the ecosystem. that is basically the glue that holds all of these applications together. it holds the user experience together, e-mail, telephone, everything. in that area, apple has got a strong position. google has a strong position. there are many other people trying to get into that space in 2014 andse

beyond, that is where the money is going to be made. companieso favorite in the tech 2014 are yahoo! and microsoft. >> that is right. that plays directory into that ecosystem thing. if you look at google, google's ecosystem is pretty well established. apple's ecosystem is pretty well established. you look at people trying to make it in the android community, what you find there is very little differentiation. very aggressive price competition and margins continuing to go south this year. why do i like microsoft and yahoo!? if you look at them, both of these companies already have in place all of the things they need in order to create a decent ecosystem? it is going to be the microsoft ecosystem from a lower base. has really been

all about the valuation of its stake in ali baba. if it can make the most of the assets it already has, this is one that i think could make further moves in 2014.2014. it is really why in the ecosystem space those are the two that i would look at. >> interesting. were you disappointed with what we heard from htc? it has been struggling for a while and it is increased, edition from chinese makers. >> personally i wasn't disappointed. the market was a little disappointed. the biggest problem when looking through the numbers is revenues were ok. pretty much it in line with what they guided for. they missed at the operating level. looking at what they can and can't control, my suspicion is at the moment what is happening is they have suffered more pressure on the gross margin which is why the operating income missed and i suspect that is because they have been cutting prices to try to hold onto market share. that for only so

long. at the end of the day, you have to get the margins up. losingaw the stock price some 50% over the last 12 months. we have seen so many high level of the partners. is there a chance to turn around the company at some point if you have the right people in charge? >> obviously, yes. the problem is that when i look at htc, it used to be brilliant. several years ago it was great at radio interface design. all of those things have now been commoditized. it is going to take a stroke of genius from someone inside htc to come up with an angle that will allow them to price at a premium to other android products. right now there is no sign of it. xiaomi.to me about i hope i am pronouncing it correctly. you spell it x-i-a-m-o. >> you're close.

>> this is a beijing-based company. it is taking the industry by storm. can it go beyond the borders? >> that is the million dollar question for all of us? ,f you look at huawei and zte both of them has struggled outside of their home markets. they have made some impact when they are able to sell operating devices and using the distribution channel. after that, they have struggled. is xiaomi any different, the amount of money that people are throwing into this thing in terms of financing for the next round would indicate, yes it is. frankly i haven't seen it yet. i would say, "on xiaomi. they have got good products -- open book on xiaomi. i have got good products. let's see if they can do anything with that brand. >> we have seen, they are pretty much design obsessed.

if they manage to sell abroad, will that change the way that you look at smartphones? >> not really. at the moment, looking at the xiaomi product it is just another android device. they are getting better hardware specifications and lower price which right now is what the chinese are quite good at. they are willing to take a very low margins in order to gain market share. xiaomi needs is exactly what htc needs in order to break in and become a brand and have a big success and become more of an ecosystem. i am sure they are planning on that. i bet they wouldn't be able to give you a coherent answer on how they plan to get there. >> interesting. thank you so much for that, richard windsor. coming up and about 15 minutes. i am joined by my coanchor, guy johnson. it is nice to be reunited. >> happy new year to you.
