reportedly thinking about dropping voicemail as well. voicemail service dividers stand to lose. you might have heard this for leaving a message -- one of the biggest companies that provide voicemail -- cisco, are other major providers who should be watching the voicemail slide. but why voicemail has declined, texting has rocketed. it is faster and people are simply more mobile. in 2000, u.s. mobilephone users sent about 12 million texts each month, according to a nielsen study, but that's nothing compared to 2014, one billion texts were sent each and every month. nearly 500down to texts per month per person, up

they any closer to victory? peter: it is an unlikely team and they are getting there. members of the administration spoke with agriculture secretary tom the fact and expressed confidence that they will get the votes they need in the house of representatives. but they are not there yet and that's why we have not had this vote scheduled in house. we will press paul ryan on when the vote will happen in the house and where he stands in terms of vote count. he has been horse in the voice making the rounds on radio and tv pushing for trade promotion authority, but he has been doing arm-twisting behind the scenes with his fellow republicans, but it is democrats oppose the biggest problem. only 20 have committed to back the president and house and he may need more than that to get him over the finish line. mark: who could make the difference in the trade debate?
1:25 pm
peter: nancy pelosi is clearly the most important democrat and she has not committed to back this. if she were to give her green light to this fast track paid bill, -- fast-track trade bill, this would pass without any problem. but she hasn't done it. she has reservations about this legislation, about the larger trade agenda the president is pursuing and the european trade deal. she is not on board and until she is, there will be questions. else do you plan to ask paul ryan about? peter: they still disagree on health care. the president may big speech defending the health care law. we want to ask paul ryan about where his alternative stands to the president's health care law. to talkre also going about where tax reform stands on capitol hill. about commone talk
1:26 pm
ground between the president and paul ryan on that but the chances seem diminished that there will be any big tax reform bill. cook in washington. you can see his interview with congressman paul ryan in less than an hour, at 2:15 eastern time. that means i'm going to sign off. talk about politics making strange bedfellows. her member told legit debate -- paul ryan and barack obama were not the best of friends but they need each other now. hour, up in the next half tens of thousands of job cuts at europe lost the us bank. we will talk about the health of investment banking overseas. stay with us. ♪

1:32 pm
the np and barclays have also undergone strategic changes. i'm joined by the head analyst at london capital group. studio is robert friedman, bloomberg news editor at large for finance. is this about a restoration of profit growth or is hsbc sensing a shift in the global financial climate in europe? brenda: i think it is a combination of the two. hsbc has tried to be so many things to so many people, so i think what we are seeing now is a retrenching of the retail banking sector and a concentration of where the growth is present, and that is within asia with a view to shutting down the likes of brazil, shutting down operations in turkey. it's about shutting down the price of business working well moving away from some of the areas that are not.
1:33 pm
hsp has taken a hit over the manipulation of currency markets, tax evasion and money laundering. will the moves announced today be able to restore investor confidence? robert: usually when you job cuts, you0 get a spike, but i think investors are unsure whether it's enough and there's a lot of speculation on whether the company is going to move its headquarters from london to hong kong. i think stuart gulliver has a lot of work cut out for him before he wins back investor confidence. mark: what does it mean for the landscape of ranking in europe in light of what we heard yesterday about deutsche bank? as brenda said, a lot of things are reevaluating the universal banking model and ubs was one of the first ones in europe to cut way back on investment banking. shareholders have rewarded ubs

1:35 pm
asia, iters toward would likely save $4 billion over the next decade. but keep in mind there is a levy and hsbc tends to pay the most off of that because the majority of its balance sheet is ace off the u.k.. would be good for the bank but not necessarily good for the u.k. economy and the financial sector makes up 8% of gdp. it looks like a likely scenario given the fact the government is playing hardball in relation to regulation and levees. mark: what does this mean for the future's of the biggest players in europe? of jpmorganou think and goldman sachs, if you look at the euro zone as an overall picture, we have seen better growth and an increase in investment.
1:36 pm
easing andntitative the interest margin will be something of an issue but we are seeing a move in bond yields as well. bute may be opportunities, i think hsbc might not present the best opportunities when you take in context some of the other u.k. banks. we heard hsbc announcing it's going to sell operations in turkey and brazil. what's the motivation for leaving this country's? robert: you saw similar moves by citigroup. brazil and turkey are big i think it is a significant departure from this notion of banking everywhere. i think you'll see more consolidation in the future. making andhe banks asia pivot as well? robert: there is a higher growth there and hsbc has a history in asia.
1:37 pm
betting hsbc does not move its headquarters because they would rather have the levee in britain than being under chinese law and hong kong. i visited their headquarters in shanghai that was taken over by the communist party and i'm not sure they want to subject themselves to the same vagaries of life there. mark: we have been mentioning during the course of this interview about the restructuring plan. would it change course if hsbc were to relocate from london because of those regulations, the regulatory burden and the higher tax burden. is that possible that it would change the dynamics here? brenda: i think it has been used as a threat that there could be a possible pullback and this is what is being held over his head in the u.k.. with the exposure to the euro zone and the fact we are starting to see signs of growth,
1:38 pm
shortsightedght be . you have several issues with regard to credit with regard to age as well. that might be something to be concerned about but i do feel they will start to focus and concentrate their efforts were the revenue is. it is 70% coming from asia and about 8% from the u.k. what message does a move like this send to european banking regulators? robert: european banking regulators are consolidating control over the banks. they just moved from national regulators to ecb regulation. they have toughened their stress test, many years after the u.s. did the same thing. they are starting to get it together on the regulatory side and banking side.
1:39 pm
of offeredll a lot to be made and jpmorgan and goldman sachs are still doing well as far as profit to be made and there are positive signs for europe down the road once this restructuring takes place. mark: we have to leave it there. kelly is the head analyst at london capital group. thank you very much. coffee thrivean anywhere? ♪

1:43 pm
for much of the rally, we have seen a relatively high number of stocks be above this momentum indicator. about 59% of stocks on the s&p are above the 200 day moving average. that is an eight-month low, even though it's eight -- even though any breakdown is raising some concern among some investors. another chart we have highlighted that bears repeating is the dow jones industrial average versus the transports. one reason transports have been under pressure is the weakness we see. the orange are the transports and if you see the transports significantly underperformed the industrials, that could signal further stock declines, particularly in the broader dow. speaking of the dow, the biggest component, one of the biggest components, the biggest
1:44 pm
component of the s&p 500 by weight would be apple and we have seen weakness in apple for the past four sessions. we have seen declines there and those declines are continuing. that's the worst streak we have seen for apple since january. when a stock that big is doing poorly, that can be a source of concern. mark: now a look at today's market close in europe. my colleague is reporting from london. >> declines for the stoxx 600, the index falling to its lowest since february. investors focusing on chinese inflation data, reporting to tepid demand at home and abroad. yesterday, i told you about the dax index entering correction territory, continuing its downward slide. it has lost 150 billion euros in value. some respite today with the
