olivia: i went does that with you, the co-author of the report put out by brookings. it was at the booking conference on this issue of whether or not the fed is increasing income and equality in the u.s. it seems now that the standard argument has been the fed has been helping the wealthy because they own the bulk of assets. they have been inflating asset prices. why do you disagree with that? >> we disagree with that because what the fed is doing is moving interest rates and we have seen
1:08 pm
and to prices gone up large extent of fixed income securities. if you look at fixed income, the reason fixed income prices are going up is that the returns are going down. we have very low interest rates. if you think about who games and who loses from low interest rates, if you are a sabr, somebody who has the wealth, then you are in fact going to lose at least over the course of three years from low interest rates. if you think of somebody who owns fixed income securities, they -- the payments they will receive does not change with current prices. there will be an increase in the short run but down the road, low return on low interest rates can protect bad sabers and sabers are the ones at the top. mark: let me get michael in
1:09 pm
here. michael, the former fed chairman wrote on his blog at brookings, and i quote, the degree of the equality that we see today is primarily the result of deep structural changes in our economy that had taken place over many years including globalization, technological process, demographic trends, and institutional change in the labor market and elsewhere,". why do you suppose he did not mention gender and racial bias and dissemination -- and discrimination? trying: i think he was to make the point that when we talk about inequality, we are not talking about relative to 2007 when they first started rolling interest rates. we are talking relative to the 1970's and 1970's -- and 1960's when inequality was much lower. i don't think he was trying to give us an exhaustive list but rather to refocus the debate on the fact that it is really a very long run trend that we are talking about and sometimes it
1:10 pm
predates the easy monetary policy strategy. olivia: what do you think about this argument that matthias is theng that middle class is biggest class of quantitative easing because the fed made that cheaper and the people who tend to have the most debt, particularly mortgage debt are those in the middle class? thatel: i agree with argument and i think it is helpful that we distinguish between wealth and economy -- and it probably
1:11 pm
obviously benefits of the middle class, how you define the middle class in 25th teen and how can those in the margins and specifically i am thinking of fast food workers who have been demanding a higher minimum wage, how can they get into the middle class and succeed without a living wage? find a middleid class broadly asked percent of income distribution. fringesxtent that the can be helped. policy will at least contribute very much to that. frome who are said to gain lower interest rates are the ones who have large mortgage to a lot of debt, but the ones at the bottom do not have a lot of debt because they don't have a very high homeownership rates among the starting to lower
1:12 pm
start a race. final questionck -- obvious a, the fed has a dual mandate inflation on unemployment, do you think the fed should be targeting inequality? i think it is a blunt instrument for targeting inequality, so i think the real advice to stay mostly focused on existing mandate. do you michael, what think? michael: i agree. i think targeting is better left to congress and the fed should focus on the mandate it has. olivia: fascinating conversation. thank you both. still ahead on "the bloomberg market day," fitbit is running toward an ipo. we have got the numbers you need to know about the start up, next. ♪
1:15 pm
olivia:olivia: welcome back to "the bloomberg market day." opined bolivia here with mark compton. let's go straight to bloomberg's matt miller with a look at the odd is moving off the main numbers. matt: you see a little bit of a rebound in markets in general. take a look at what we see with ford, general motors and chrysler because it has been a pretty decisive day as far as beating estimates with the unit sales numbers. you do see chrysler's stock down a little bit. general motors up a little and ford really close to little change. the interesting thing is when you take a step back and look over the last 12 months, gm up about 5%, for down about 5% but really looks like not a lot of movement on incredible performance where it is 17.3, maybe 17.5 million annual
1:16 pm
average units sold for the entire industry. of course, these two are reaping big gains but not as big as the gains of chrysler. if you take a full look -- a look at a full chart of chrysler, it is up 80%. a lot of money for john alcon and family because he is sending a ton of jeeps. jeep has sold more cars in the year than months this it has ever previously. the brand is doing incredibly well and trucks are doing incredibly well because of low gas prices but also because technology has enabled these cars to be incredibly fuel-efficient and get more than 20 miles per gallon in highway miles. some small suvs like a jeep renegade are getting more miles per gallon, more than 30 on the highway which is better than compact cars were doing 20 years ago. jeep and the trucks over at ram are helping drt -- sergio and chrysler outperformed forward liking a little bit even though
1:17 pm
they are doing olivia: i am personally awaiting the ferrari suv. -- sitr news, the fit it as plans to raise as much $478 million. bankerspetition, and jump to find the valuation. earlier, tim fox and betty lou spoke with drew armstrong. drew: it is a real business. they make a product that people by. is continue to use, which sometimes an unusual thing in one of therld challenges -- and one of the challenges as people get these,
1:18 pm
and they stop using them. betty he: it is like a diet -- everyone goes on a diet, and after a few months they give up. drew: it does not come with a $3.3 billion valuation. but they are giant companies. i am guessing they have new do notecause one-third continue with their fit bit. drew: a lot of times you are given them as gifts. 50% of the company sales came in the fourth quarter. instead of you going out insane fitbit, they will say i need this, -- i will have to get a hundred dollar gift. then they will play for a 4 -- with it will drop off. they have to figure out how to get you continuing to use it, get you data, to the website.
1:19 pm
betty: vertical. will make the money -- foundry group, softbank, are they selling any shares? drew: i do not know. i would have to check on that. going into the corporate wellness market is probably one of the biggest pathways. pimm: explain how that would work. andrew: you are michael bloomberg, and you are thinking it would be great if my employees got up and walked around more. no suggestions. you are able to track the data, and you can sell this to companies. you can see how active people are, do employees need to be getting up from their desks more, walking around. betty: instead of a lunch break, how about a fitness break. there you go, problem solved.
1:20 pm
drew: if you can get that down, it is a big deal. pimm: when will it price? drew: the ipo should price in the next few days. the $3 billion evaluation is at the high end of that. --k: $3.3 billion valuation wow. itvia: here is the thing -- is a startup company that is making money. that basically never happens. you can make money in a vc round, but not get to the growth phase where it is profitable. mark: what is making them successful? olivia: a lot of people want them. clearly, i do not wear one, but i worry about the fact they are going public at a time when the most successful, powerful tech companies in the world, apple and samsung, are getting more and more into the wearable technology market. mark: that is a story we will

mark: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. united nations climate change negotiations are underway and the french foreign minister calling for a deal it does not need approval by the u.s. congress. he told delegates "we know the politics in the u.s. -- whether we like it or not, if it comes to the congress, they will
1:24 pm
refuse." here with me as the head of the americas for the new energy bloomberg finance team. ethan, thank you for your time. talk about the reverberations. when i saw the story breaks, i thought this is something that seems like it could get ugly. ethan: i do not know if i would go that far. i would say the french minister is adept in understanding u.s. politics. the president signs international agreements all the time that does not receive international approval. this might fall into that category. mark: can the deal have any teeth without u.s. backing? olivia: it could, but i would --ethan: it could, but i would say it would have u.s. backing but is not binding. mark: won't countries exist that it is -- insist that it is legally binding? ethan: they will, but there is a
1:25 pm
free-form situation where different countries are making different pledges for what they hope to achieve and we expect the final do will be a series of individual country pledges laid down alongside each other and they will collectively be called an international agreement. mark: the french minister said we must find a formula valuable for everyone and to the u.s. without going to congress. what is valuable to the united states? ethan: what would be valuable is pledges from other developing countries that they would take a more responsible path than the u.s. has when it comes to co2 to co2 emissions. we may start to see that. we have certainly seen the lesser developed countries making pledges to mexico and others. mark: what are the economic implications of this? >> potentially quite substantial how we generate fossil fuels. ofeady we are seeing some
1:26 pm
those take place in europe for they have a carbon price. in the u.s. we are certainly see gas driven by economics primarily but could be accelerated by for the regulation. mark: at this point we are something that is practical. understanding the practicality of what goes on in the u.s. political circuit. there is a great deal of internet --ward the toward the climate pact among republicans on capitol hill. in reality it would not vote forly come to a some time. unlikely they will switch so violently between now and then that you will have a friendly congress. all right, ethan singler, head of the americas for the finance team. at fifa, sethst blatter says he will resign as president. ♪ ♪

1:37 pm
his in a defensible position and they pushed him out. the other thing that will not change is this north and south dynamic that within global soccer. you really have a lot of smaller countries that are very resentful of the power that germany, germany have the global power and economic weight. like talking about the sec in college football. quick yes. this will continue to exist. a way toill find out create power out of that resentment. does fifa go from here? >> they need to get over there resentment issues. any call for reform will be seen smaller, developing nature -- smaller, developing nations. overnight, happen
