almost 100% of the people you surveyed do not expect a rate hike in june. in q2 there is a slowdown and volatility in terms of wages. imagine two scenarios -- we have 25%growing at 3% and growing at zero. we are close to the second scenario. the inequality is an issue, so this prompts the fed to wait longer. we think the hike will come in september. betty: we have a graphic here that shows 40% of those surveyed believe we will get a hike in september. generally, across investors, there are hopes there

would be no hike this year. that's why there should be some volatility when the hike actually happens in september. after that, it will become clearer that this will be the slowest hike cycle in the history of the fed. the vice president fisher a couple of days ago said the plan is to hike to 4% in four years. nobody knows what happens in four years, but this gives you the idea that we are looking at 1% per year, a very reasonable hike cycle. the: i want to start with european central bank and quantitative easing europe. tell us your take. a veryin europe, we have different situation. in april, we had a selloff in global bonds starting in germany and a lot of people were worried whether european qe would and sooner than the planned date. there's no chance that's going to happen. european qe is very strong.

fed was buying around one dollar per dollar, so almost twice as effective on the market. in europe, the transition to the real economy is impaired because the banks still have a lot of problems. the european banks still have a trillion euros of underperforming bad loans. the transmission mechanism in terms of limiting fed it -- credit growth is slower. what it means is qe in europe keeps credit and bonds in the market but if you look at the real economy, the recovery is a lot slower. about the real economy and how it relates to greece. are they going to leave the eurozone? think they stay in the eurozone, but remember, you could have a default. you could have a missed imf

payment. the next one is on the fifth of june and there are payments until the 19th. we are dancing close to the edge of the cliff here. but remember, even if there is a default, the ecb will give ric banks andthe b there could be a cyprus-type situation. there could be a political crisis with the government having to reassess what they need to do. in the end, it is a political problem. 60% probability of an agreement, a 40% chance of a political crisis, but the greek people want to stay in europe -- in the euro. betty: thank you very much. we will get an insider's look at the fed's rate decision with the st. louis fed president.

happening, it has let a lot of people to say are we in a bubble when it comes to semi's? this is essentially a scatter plot. on the bottom, enterprise value da.ebit you have qualcomm, which is showing sales growth. done at 24l is being times where it is trading at the moment. in other words, it is off the graph entirely and that illustrates why there are a lot of questions about the valuation being paid for broadcom and evaluations we are seeing for deals in this industry. climb weined with the have seen in the semi stocks, you can see why one investor

today called it frothy perhaps. frothy and publishes -- licious. also interesting to note that avago was part of hewlett-packard. the jobless rate is approaching the fed's definition of full employment. billionaire david tepper's getting behind a hedge fund providing seed capital for the first time in his storied career. he is giving capital to eric kohl's to start a firm the next year that would invest in global credit. he joined appaloosa after joining the trust -- distressed

top 10. in dubai, there is the world's tallest building, but it's observatory is 1000 feet lower than that. tower opensnghai later this year, it will be the second tallest building in the world but will have the tallest observation deck. skyscrapers compete for visitors and tickets are not cheap. in dubai, to go to the top, it costs $136 and $.13. there are lounges and boutiques at the top. here, there is a bar, cafe and steakhouse. this will be the third big observation deck in new york. the other two are top of the rock at rockefeller center and the empire state building. visited newurists

make you feel like a mouse. betty: and they charge you high prices. ahead, we going to san francisco ahead of google's big developer day. plus john boehner sues fit bit -- more in the fit -- the fierce battle of the wrist. -- job own sues fit bit.

gathered here and they will attend some of the events and take some of the meetings. iterative.ements are a lot of these things have been preannounced, so the news of the moment might not be huge, but it's a time for these people to gather and be here in san francisco for that. pimm: you seem a little bit underwhelmed by the potential for announcements from google. what can you tell us about the self driving car initiative? it's something they've been working on for a long time and something they used to give a splash when the transportation secretary shows up in silicon valley. these are long-term of elements google has been working on for years and years. there may be a dog and pony show with that today that no significant announcement is expected. there will be a plethora of

announcements about minor developments here. also hear about some of the other things they have talked about in the direction of virtual reality. security in mobile and the universe around that. that will be the real focus of this event. betty: i want to switch over to tack andide related to google and the development of new products. , anbit and jawbone interesting rivalry -- it has taken a new turn with jawbone accusing fit bit of plundering its employees and stealing its trade secrets. it is really interesting stuff. think about this in the context of google and android. here are two start up companies.

fit bit is a few blocks in that direction and jawbone is about a mile in that direction. while they are feuding, they are trying to hire the same engineers and salt that same technological problems. according to the lawsuit, fit bit went gaga trying to hire anyone they could from jawbone. trying to solve the same problems around measuring people's steps and sleep patterns. somene is accusing employees of taking information out the door that they should not have taken. -- there's athings lot of innovation happening with companies that are not google, place, sansame francisco and silicon valley, when the money comes flooding in and the ipo is about to happen, the fit bit ipo is an amazing document that shows what a

dominant business it is and jawbone is a smaller competitor trying to stave off fit it from becoming a juggernaut. when the money comes knocking and the ipo is at the door, jawbone wants to get a piece of that as well. we are looking forward to getting more reports from the google development -- google developers conference. how about an app that lets you know when you are getting sued. that would sell out on wall street. i'm going to say goodbye here. still ahead, the back-and-forth discussions on greece's bailout have dominated headlines, but what is it like on the streets of athens? ♪

out package. into thet that conversations taking place inside this castle here. most of the finance ministers and central bankers are concerned about levels of debt. they want to see structural reform to have organic global growth. the flip side is if you have high-level's of indebtedness, that's going to be an anchor on your growth. you could see how they might let the difference and say yes it is an impediment to growth, so what you need is to reduce the level of debt for greece, try to get them to make structural reforms and then have a path to move forward. seem quite a, they ways away. we have not heard any of the optimism from athens. they all seem to say greece needs to move a lot more and the ball is in their court. pimm: could you describe some of

the political ramifications of the meeting? who is aligned with who, if anybody? we're not getting a anyt sense that there is big division here, but that's mostly because the greeks are not here. there is the film -- the familiar demand-side solution. i spoke with the canadian prime minister and he said there's tension between the german side who wants to push for structural reform and some of their counterparts, especially americans, who are pushing to stimulate more demand. that's why we get to this thorny question of how much demand can be stimulate it by debt. theoreticaling conversations here but the practical thing will be what happens in the next six or seven days in brussels. pimm: hans nichols in dresden,

germany. now we want to look at what life is like on the streets of greece these days. unemployment is around 25%. our bloomberg reporter joins us from athens. what is it like to be a greek in greece right now? >> there is discontent and there is fear for what the next day holds. it really depends on what you are looking at because pensioners and civil service -- civil servants have seen their income go down, but if you work in the private sector, things are really hard. we have 1.5 million people unemployed during the last few years. the greek government is in arrears for about 5.5 will euros to its suppliers. if you work in the private sector, you might not get paid at all or not the full amount at the end of the month.

the latest research shows some people, around 50%, get paid with a five or six month delay on their wages. describe what it's like for the basic services of the country like garbage collection, water, sewage, things like hospitals and universities. that mucht have trouble in garbage and all of that. hit.tion has really been some hospitals don't have the basic equipment available. they are lacking in necessary medicine. the greek government said today it will not sponsor any further trips to student olympians. that is an expense of around 50,000 euros for year which shows the complete shutdown in government spending.

circumstances, there's no road infrastructure working at all. is going onbe what in the tourism industry and are their jobs available? a huge surge in 2014 that helps the greek economy have a u-turn. this is threatened. the first couple of months of the year were encouraging that the last quarter, we have seen an increasing number of cancellations from expected arrivals. during the summertime, -- weally from germany, have the summer knocking at our doors and the greek economy is based on tourism. pimm: have you found it difficult to see a future here for greek young people? it is problematic.

a lot of people have left the country, especially young people, because unemployment from like 18 to 25 years of age people, one out of two are unemployed. they are fleeing the country and that is a fact. i think we are at a threshold at the moment and we need to find a solution as soon as possible. hopefully by sunday when the level agreement is set by its creditors. hopefully we will make a u-turn in this country. pimm: thank you very much. still ahead on the bloomberg market day, nouriel roubini has a solution to the greek debt crisis. keep negotiating and find a compromise. ♪

pimm: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. i'm pimm fox. we want to begin with the stories crossing terminal right now. oil stockpiles fell for the fourth consecutive week. still, inventories are near the highest level since 1930 and there's speculation the oil glut will persist. west texas intermediate crude was trading at the lowest level in a month. the justice department says it has tested a ring of chinese citizens who took college entrance exams for other people. 15 people have been charged and prosecutors say they used counterfeit chinese passports to poses the real applicants. billionaire stephen schwarzman says if he was 30 years younger, he would be an entrepreneur in

silicon valley. he's the cofounder of the equity firm,te blackstone group comments is the technology sector has so much amazing value creation. those are your top stories. we were just speaking about today's european summit with thence ministers discussing greek debt crisis. nouriel roubini a -- nouriel roubini is there and we ask what the best ideas to emerge from the summit were thus far. situatione are in a that is the new mediocre. it is anemic and you have to work along many parallel lines. countries have to do structural reform to increase productivity and potential growth. but in most advanced economy, there's a slack in the labor market and a lack of aggregate demand.

there is a debate ongoing any policy community about whether that should be occurring mostly through monetary policy and it has become unconventional like negative rates or whether there is room for fiscal policy. the pace ofbe fiscal consolidation was loaded. >> where are we on greece? they are closer to a deal with the imf. what's the conversation in the hallways like in dresden? how close is greece to striking a deal? the greeks are not here in dresden because it is a g-7 summit. hopefully greece will be one of the matters finance ministers

will be discussing. the two sides are moving in the right direction. first of all, there's a dialogue and a proposal on both sides. there are differences, but they are differences that can be narrowed in both sides realize if there was a greek accident or miss payment, that is significant damage for greece and there's the risk of contagion for the rest of the world. it's not just economic and financial risk, but geopolitical risks are important to address. expect pots of money will be found in june to make sure and1.6 billion will be paid hopefully by the end of june, there can be an agreement on that. it will be a condition for closing the review of the second program and the basis for a third program that greece needs.

i'm positive we are in the right direction. why should an greece just put capital controls in place right now? the bailout money is no longer giving greece time to reform and restructure its economy. outflowsancing capital . at the controls in place now, stop that from happening and, as cyprus demonstrated, you can take them off at some point. for now, there has been some stabilization as thatiations are going into only if there was an accident. onyou have an excel ration -- or a run on the banks, that could impose capital control and if they don't have enough money to pay imf pension and wages, they might have to issue ious

and those would be a parallel currency. ofditional on the progress the negotiation occurring and the pots of money to be found so the payments to the imf, radical decisions like capital controls, deposit freezes and ious left a lot of collateral damage not just financially but economic can be prevented. we are not at the stage where that's going to be operational. a it falls apart and there is miss payment, there's going to be a deposit freeze but everybody realizes at the beginning of a greek accident, there's lots of other collateral damage, not just for greece but contagion in the financial market. not just in greek and eurozone equities, but global equities and there will be other financial consequences nobody wants. the best solution is to keep

negotiating, find the pots of it would be good for greece and for the financial markets. roubini,t was nouriel speaking with olivia sterns and erik schatzker. he's attending the g7 finance ministers meeting in dresden, germany, speaking about the consequences for capital controls and other financial measures designed to hold contagion in greece if the country does default on payments. still ahead, the golden glut of tv. programmers are pumping out more shows than ever thomas pending millions of dollars in the hopes of creating the next megahit. the problem? winning audiences and falling ad rates. ♪

julie: we are approaching the top of the hour. let's look at the action on the street -- we have stocks pulling back to a degree after the gains yesterday. the s&p and the dow nestling back .5%. the nasdaq which closed at a record yesterday is pulling back about .4%. joining me for today's options insight is the senior equity derivatives trader at bml capital. unusual weekn compared to what we have seen recently because there have been

larger moves. what do you think is going on as we get into summer? : it low liquidity, so it doesn't take much to move the market. uncertainty around when the fed is going to raise rates and a big opec meeting coming up next week. greece is coming down to the wire on a deal with their creditors and the release of a lot funds. there are a bunch of things culminating that present some risks in the market and its resulting in bigger swings than we have seen normally. risks does it provide toward options traders expectations of what the summer was going to be? does it blow up the view that we are going into this low volatility summer? max: i think so. the liquidity and volume we are seeing speaks to the summer slowdown, but the price action does not. it kind of creates a perfect storm for increased volatility when have low-volume, high price

action and high volatility type environment. it creates an interesting time for options traders. trade has it lead you to -- to change your strategy at all? through thee get the next nonfarm payrolls number, which is next friday, i think we could see the volatility continue to be higher than normal. julie: i want to mention an interesting trade bloomberg highlighted today that was made several weeks ago on the vix looking for perhaps a return to more o-matic volatility levels. that was a pretty interesting trade. it was about five times the average daily volume on the vix. someone sold a july 17 called which normally one would think there's going to be low volatility. the may bought twice as many 23

calls and that trade makes money of volatility explodes by a lot and loses if it only explodes by a little. it's a bet on a surgeon volatility, so there would have to be a large downward move in above the 23 go strike. and it doesn't make money if there's not a blowup. julie: it sounds pretty risky. this get to your trade for the day, which is in the airlines, which have been fascinating recently. the airlines entering a bear market and then rebounding somewhat. what do you think happens from here? max: the opec meeting will have an impact. the energy names have a higher volatility going in to the meeting, so the options market reflects this opec event. strangely, the airlines reflect that volatility.

united, continental, delta, the ball is -- the volume is pretty muted. crude obviously affects their prices. we like the downside. it seems like the sentiment is pretty parish. there was a big pullback in the airline space on this lack of discipline and low fuel prices causing excess capacity. we think it is a bearish market. the put spread, you can get that for about $.40 and it looks like a great inexpensive way to get downside. julie: thank you for joining us. don't go anywhere. there's much more bloomberg market day after this. ♪
