olivia: one of the victims was the church's pastor. the shooter attended a prayer meeting at the church for a list now or before opening fire. president obama gets a chance to revive his trade agenda today. the proposal was defeated last week with members of the president's own party leading the way. the asian trade you would hurt american workers but republican leaders are reworking the proposal to be democrats on their side. matt: pope francis has issued his statement on the environment today. the pope called for a radical change in lifestyle, politics and economics. he placed most of the blame on fossil fuels. the statement was criticized by conservatives. shares of oracle are lower in

premarket trading. oracle was hurt by currency fluctuations and customers moving to more cloud-based computing. oracle has been overhauling its products to take advantage of the shift to the cloud. reports that lester holt will become the permanent anchor for nbc's nightly news. he replaced brian williams four months ago. limbs was suspended for exaggerating his role during an attack on a helicopter in iraq. -- williams was suspended. he will stay with the network. he will move to cable channel and msnbc. olivia: let's get you started with the top five things you need to know about this morning. matt: we will start with the fed. it was a juggle here. there are some other issues today. the fed issued the following statement in a news conference

saying it's going to downgraded spew up the economy but still normalize interest rates. wall street economists are trading places on when the central bank will raise interest rates. the group provides its forecast for september. goldman sachs sing and anticipates liftoff at the end of the year. olivia: a lot of investors were watching. they thought she was dovish. yields came down as janet yellen was speaking. my take away is that two hikes are most likely. matt: let's get to greece. olivia: christine lagarde speaking in the past hour. she is meeting with others in luxembourg.

's nichols is on the ground in luxembourg with the latest. hans: what we got from edible guard was clarity. no grace period beyond the june deadline. she used the word "default." -- what we got from madame li lagardere was clarity. pension reform was not going to happen. christine lagarde is insisting on pension reform. angela merkel gave a speech this morning, saying yes, there still a possibility, they're looking for ways. she said her usual comments on how thei when there's a will there's a way.

she did not say that a departure from greece would absolutely be a rupture to the eurozone, to the economy. privately, there's a lot of conversation a about what different countries are doing to contain the contagion. olivia: thank you so much. we will have more from hans drought the show -- throughout the show. julie: the big ipo that priced last night. we are talking about that bit. it raised $372 million, placing shares at $20 apiece. the size of the ipo on tuesday amid stronger-than-expected demand. even at the 17-19 dollar range,

it was still more expensive than a stock like apple. olivia: thank you so much. olivia: only about a $4 billion valuation. olivia: you know what's worth $24 billion? caribbean be in talks to raise financing at a valuation of $24 billion. -- air b&b. they're projecting 2015 revenue of about $900 million. that's up from $250 million in 2013. matt: that's the reason why. olivia: that is huge. isn't this a company with major regulatory hurdles in front of them? matt: uber has massive regulatory hurdles and it's still worth $40 billion. olivia: a lot more people are

using uber than airbnb. $24 billion? matt: number five is the u.s. treasury, planning to feature a woman on its currency notes or the first time since w martha washington. there was the susan b anthony dollar as well. it's soliciting public comments and will decide by the end of this year -- i was thinking aviation pioneer amelia a heart. -- amelia ehrhardt. olivia: i was thinking rosa parks. it has to be a woman who embodies inclusive democracy. you know where he got the idea? a nine-year-old girl from massachusetts wrote to president obama last year and he said that sounds like a pretty good idea. i will say the $10 bill is the least circulated bill.

matt: one i rarely use per alexander hamilton is one of the most important figures in u.s. history. olivia: there will still be $10 bills with alexander hamilton. matt: turning back to fed policy , i want to get our own economists take on the fomc statement. josh wright and our team saved the most important new information came from the. dot plot. similar to what was signaled in march. the fed remains data dependent. it appears to be increasingly comfortable that a notion of a modest increase. wasn't that always the plan? projections as low as five basis points.

clearly, the market expects the fed to remain fairly tame. >> it was about the dot plot yesterday. there were not any big surprises. the market really focused on where so many of those dots came down. a lot of us were surprised or interested to see that the fed held so firm to its view that is likely to be to rate hikes this year. matt: a good-looking dot plot. i like the forward years. the fed itself will say it doesn't have much faith in such forward guidance. olivia: it looks like battleship. it's in the trajectory of rate rises. more gradual than we previously thought. one thing i want to ask you about -- matt: it's amazing how much janet yellen precipitates this by saying exactly what we are

extrapolating now every single time she speaks. josh: a candidate for getting onto the $10 bill. she is in charge here. olivia: it has to be a woman who passed away. it cannot be a living person. janet yellen cited that strength of the dollar. do you think she is trying to talk down the strength of the currency? is that why we saw her not as upbeat as some expected? josh: i don't think she was overly focused on the dollar. she said the dollar is one of many factors we look at. she stuck to her script, focusing on the fact that passed rate moves is more important than the initial data liftoff. she did not vary too much from that. i think she got what she wanted. there are number of economists changing their views or considering changing their views.

that's what the fed wants because they are data dependent. different people are looking at the same data and will come to different conclusions. the fed has to be concerned about one-sided markets. that's what led to the temper tantrum. -- paper tantrum -- taper tantrum. the data will lead to a healthy two-sided market and you are less likely to have extreme reaction. matt: thank you very much for joining us. olivia: up next, we will remember jimmy lee with jack welch, who was a mentor to jimmy lee. ♪

jimmy lee was the only person who could actually deliver the firm. it wasn't like he had done any credit analysis or anything. if steve schwarzman came calling and said i want to do x, y, z big deal jimmy would say you are done and he bends the organization around his will until it got done. matt: he was monumental in the birth of lbo's. we know he was a force behind j.p. morgan chase. what about jimmy lee as a person? you described him as old school. he reminded you of the warden from the shawshank redemption. what was it like to have him -- bill: this is such a personal thing. matt: that's the most interesting thing right now. bill: i saw him in april.

last year -- he's a big williams college alum. my two sons go to william. i was out playing golf with my two sons last year and jimmy was there with his family. we ran into each other at the end. my parents were there, tubing. my father was playing with us. -- my parents were there, too. it was this incredibly warm embrace. i had my ups and downs with jimmy. he was a tough boss. that was all years ago. we had become good friends. a great person to talk to about wall street. seeing him at the end of that and the big embrace and introducing him to my parents, it was great. matt: i want to bring in another great person to talk to about wall street events and someone who knew jimmy lee closely and

personally. jack welch joins us on the phone right now. jimmy cited u.s. giving him the best career advice he has ever gotten. talk to us about what he was like as a person. jack: good morning. i absolutely -- bill capture just about everything about jimmy. my phone rang all afternoon with everybody wanted to talk about jimmy. 15-17 calls with people wanting to talk about their best friend, jimmy. it is such a shock you almost can't believe it. he was a force of nature. when he wanted to get a deal done, he got it done. you knew when you were in a handshake with him, he would deliver the bank.

he was a guy who likes to gossip he was a regular guy, a real guy. i enjoyed having dinner with them, enjoyed hanging out with them him. he was so much more than investment banker -- an investment banker. my grandson is now a freshman at williams. i made with jimmy when my grandson became a freshman at williams. bill: i had the same expense. i finally made it with jimmy. until my kids were williams college in rowley's, i had not made it with them. -- inenrollees, i had not

made it with him. olivia: he was always trying -- he could have picked up his feet and enjoyed his life. he prioritized his family as well. what do you think cap to motivated? jack: an intense desire to prove himself. jimmy with all his stuff -- was he a big leaguer enough? he always wanted to prove he was really good. despite all of the recognition he had an success he had it was never something he quite believed about himself. bill: it went back to his desk -- being adopted by the alans.

he was on a mission, a man on a mission. in the nicest way. jack: the best way possible. matt: there are few of his kind left on wall street. he was old school. he wore suspenders. he wanted to do the deal for the sake of the client and do it well. do you think he is one of the last of a breed? jack: i don't know. he was one-of-a-kind, no question about that. he was more one-of-a-kind. he's a guy that you can't believe what he would do to get a deal done. he would move a firm, move walls. we were doing a deal in private equity and rubenstein was involved, too bank. -- too.

olivia: with a june 30 deadline looming alexis tsipras once again on the move. he landed in russia a few hours ago to meet with vladimir putin. a major economic gathering in st. petersburg. joining me with more is ryan chilcote. what is he doing in russia? ryan: we don't know all the reasons why he is here. one of the reasons, to talk gas.

most of that gas gets from russia to western europe through ukraine which russia is not happy about because it's in a serious conflict. they had a backup plan to go through bulgaria. that was stopped by the european union. they have a new plan where they would build a pipeline in turkey and from turkey to greece. greece gets to become another hub an entry point for russian gas in europe. they get transit fees and might get a bit of money up front for building the pipeline through greece. one of the reasons why we know he is here. matt: i don't know sometimes if i mean too cynical but it seems like a pretty obvious theatrical power play by sippers -- alexis tsipras to make it clear to the eu that he may go somewhere else if they don't back them up.

ryan: that is true. if you think long game. russia has $36 billion in reserves -- they want to increase those reserves. you look at the oil price, low 60's for brent. that's below what russia needs. if they were to pull a bunch of money in greece right now or if they were hoping to use russia as a trump card to gamble with the european union, i don't really see that happening. that's more russia helping greece. i caught up with the economy minister here the other day. do you see this happening? sure, we can have deals. the idea that you would actually buy their bonds or help them out on a larger financial extent, i

don't see that happening. olivia: we have a piece of that sound from your interview with the finance minister. >> of course, there could be some deals. if they decide on the pipeline, we can guarantee some credit. olivia: i suppose my question would be -- it sounds like the potential strategic partnership that sounds more like a business concession. can russia even afford to bail out greece? ryan: in the short term, the answer is no. maybe alexis tsipras is thinking longer game here. you are astute russia watcher would say we heard the same kind of conversations about russia

bailing out cyprus or iceland. that did not happen. that doesn't mean that russia can't help in other ways. and that greece cannot be helpful to russia. there are 28 countries in the european union. all 28 have to agree on sanctions against russia if they will stay in place. they just did that yesterday. there's a sanctions will come up for renewal down the road. maybe one of these days if the russians helped the greeks in a small way, the greeks will return a favor in a big way. that's probably more with this trip is about. never underestimate the power of vladimir putin to surprise everyone. matt: there are a few more astute russia watchers than you. oil doesn't stay at $60 a

think there is a possible path. peter: you have taken some heat from supporters for your vote on trade. tell me why it is you are convinced this is in america's at interest? . sen. coons: understandable skepticism about the impact of globalization on trade. what i have seen in my years in the senate is that china is rewriting the rules of trade in a target for century in ways that are not good for america's interests for labor, human rights, the environment. tpp gives us the opportunity to rewrite rules in our favor in a direction that advantages america has priorities. peter: if the president gets tpa, no doubt in your mind that the deal moves forward? sen. coons: he will conclude

negotiations. it is not clear whether it will get approval in the senate. it makes approval more likely. my vote for tpa does not guarantee my boat for tpp. peter: is this going to have lasting damage for democrats? sen. coons: i don't think so. there are lots of other issues that remain ahead for us to work together on in the last 18 months of his presidency. peter: the new $10 bill being announced by the treasury secretary. what are your thoughts on this? the first woman to be on u.s. currency since martha washington . sen. coons: my wife and daughter were excited about an online campaign my daughter brought to my attention asking for activism in support of a woman on the $20 bill. input on whether it should be harriet tubman, error -- eleanor

roosevelt. i'm looking forward to consulting with my daughter for advice. peter: ties to delaware would be helpful. sen. coons: absolutely. peter: i appreciate you joining us. big boat in the house on trade. -- big boat in the house on trade -- vote in the house on trade. matt: barney frank has been a longtime critic of the banking system. now he is joining the board of a bank. that story, next. ♪ ♪ ♪

olivia: good morning from a sunny new york city. matt: nothing funny about today. it looks like l.a.

accept not. olivia: we are a few minutes away from the opening bell on a cloudy, 70 degree new york city. i'm olivia sterns, here with matt miller. i'm also here with -- they both made it in despite the humidity. what is moving markets today? tracy: i want you to focus on a dot. you can see a bit of movement. these show interest rate projections from 17 fomc members. there were three dots they were saying were either going to be one or no rate hikes. the rumor on wall street is one of those new dots might be janet yellen. we're goldman sachs --

matt: she thinks there will be one or none. tracy: different from the hikes people were predicting. goldman sachs is predicting the first rate hike will come out in december and they think that yellen might have changed her position. olivia: we know that before people think there will be one rate rise the last time we did the. plot. -- the dot plot. matt: on the one hand they say data dependent on the time. on the other hand, i feel like there is an implicit promise to the market that we would do at least one rate hike to normalize rates this year. oksana: the fed has continued to do what it said it would do. it is going to take -- the data

continues to be conducive to having at least one rate hike this year. whether one of the dots is a yellow dot or not, we can spec it -- a yellen. or not, we can speculate. things that have nothing to do with the fed, purely on less fed data in europe. it is not outside the realm of possibility that yellen wants to be measured. at the end of the day, i'm going to offer a different perspective to say that it does not really matter. this is happening. matt: we will continue to speculate. tracy: the next chart five-year greek cds. insurance policies on greek government debt. the two lines that you saw on that chart are the bid and ask

spreads for greek cds. those are widening which means that the market is getting liquid. it means the cost of transaction in greek cds is glowing -- is growing. matt: how much would you charge to ensure my greek debt at this point? oksana: i do not think -- matt: i want -- olivia: i want to meet a day trader of greek cds. oksana: there is a price for everything. there is a market -- there are opportunities when the price is right to take the risk. if a market is paying you a ridiculous amount of money to insure greek debt for the next five days, would you do it? tracy: there was a great rumor a

few years ago when the euro zone crisis started saying that greek banks were selling cds protection on greece. if they have to pay out on protection, they are all bust anyway. matt: let's get to barney frank. tracy: possibly the least likely person in the world to ever join a bank has joined the bank. he is joined a midsized new york bank. barney frank was a key architect in the dodd-frank regulation which was the sweeping repainting of the u.s. financial system. matt: they get somebody who wrote the rule. tracy: the weird thing now is there is talk about dodd-frank in general. we have the treasury secretary yesterday saying -- matt: this is precisely -- olivia: this is precisely the side bank -- the size bank

dodd-frank is most difficult. olivia: it is a smart higher. re. i want to get to julie hyman. julie: watching earning reports. a lot of disappointment surrounding the numbers for oracle. the company in the premarket had been falling sharply and that is after earnings and sales missed estimates because the currency affect was more onerous than analysts anticipated. the company is seeing sagging sales to new and existing customers as people are moving to making that transition to the cloud. oracle is seeing higher expenses than anticipated. shares have been trading lower. olivia: down 7.5% and falling as we speak.

julie: take a look at rite aid. those shares have been falling after earnings. the company coming out with earnings that missed analyst estimates saying that it's prescription softness that was a problem during the quarter and that may continue for the remainder of the year. i want to bring back at fed funds probability chart. i want to talk about the interpretation of it. the range of the fed fund target is 020.25%5%. there is no chance being priced in of a rate increase -- a july rate increase.

this structure for placing -- pricing this probability has been called into question. matt: nobody is predicting a rate increase. it would make sense if the state that if the fed stays data dependent why would they raise rates this year? oksana: there was the unemployment number that was going to hit 6.5% and is now lower than that. they have removed the ability to be flexible and keep moving the goalposts. a lot of indicators there watching our better at this point. -- are better at this point. gdp growth is also coming off of a week number that we had earlier in the year. olivia: a contraction.

oksana: also, we are seeing -- the one data point yellen has been focused on is the wage number. i think that makes are less likely to keep pushing this out. the fed is out of bullets at this point and they do not want to find themselves in a market cycle that is starting. we are in the 70 year of this expansion. -- we are on the seventh year of this expansion. olivia: we have some breaking news. restoration hardware has been -- trading has been halted pending news. we will keep an eye on that. what was your overall take away from everything we heard yesterday? the market read it as dovish. yields went lower, the dollar sold off.

when you look at analyst notes, you saw goldman sachs pushed the likelihood of the rate hike to december. oksana: i think the fed is going to continue guiding as long as we do not see any meaningfully worse data coming out with respect to the u.s. economy. on track for 25 basis points by september. i will offer a different point of view because at the end of the day whether we say interest rates are poised to rise the point is that fixed income today has never been less equipped to offer the three things why investors hold. fixed income has never been last besler -- less equipped. the industry answer has been unconstrained bonds.

a lot of these treasuries have taken on a lot more equity correlated risk by trying to grab yields because that is what investors want. matt: a lot more risk across the board. olivia: is that what you tell clients to do? oksana: the idea of diversification needs to be re-examined. we are dealing with portfolios where there is a lot more equity risk than ever. if you look at what happens when -- when you buy a bond you are taking on risk and a number of other default risks. interest rates are what got you out of trouble. that is a less powerful force. the idea of diversifying by continuing to go long sectors

globally does not work because you are reinvesting in the same type of risk over and over which has a lot more correlation to the rescue -- the risky part of your portfolio. olivia: what do you do? oksana: the idea is to step out of that long only mindset. the extent that you have credit risk how would you mitigate the downside? thinking about hedges uncorrelated returns on the market, private markets alternative strategies. this market is constrained with respect to liquidity. investing in less liquid parts of the market if you can really work with that type of investment horizon, there is previewed to be had -- premium to be had. barney frank was one of the architects for the regulation that has put us in this significantly more strained liquidity market.

that is a topic investors have to think about today. the market-making ability on the street has plummeted. you have etf's, the top five are total assets under management. what does that mean for this grab per yield we have seen? the other turned in the market we have seen is a move toward the short end of the in an attempt to feel you are more protected from interest rate risk. when the fed does go, it will be that front end of the curve that will be the most exposed. olivia: the utility of buying treasuries -- matt: we are getting a lot of amen sisters on the peanut gallery. iq for joining us. -- thank you for joining us. ♪

matt: turning back to jimmy lee, jimmy -- jpmorgan's vice chairman who died at the age of 62 yesterday. joining us is steve dellinger. they worked together on the burger king ipo in 2006. we are trying to get a sense of how jimmy was as a person. we know how important he was on wall street. his legacy making deals. what about jimmy as a friend? what can you tell us about jimmy's life? steve: we worked with jimmy for 25 years and have seen jimmy in many different venues as a friend and advisor. his life outside of work was the

same inside of work. he was passionate and dedicated to what he did and he lived his life to the fullest. jimmy brought energy to any projects he was involved with. he was a great golfer. he had a love for life and intensity unmatched by many people and we loved him for that. olivia: we are hearing about how jimmy was an old school rainmaker who are should in a new era of american capitalism. how would you describe the legacy he will leave on finance? steve: not many people that have done as much as jimmy has. ushering in major private equity. jimmy had the full skill set and helped build jpmorgan into a powerhouse. a vital part of american

finance. this is very shocking that he is not here. every day you wake up and jimmy was involved in another project and helping build companies drop the world. -- throughout the world. olivia: that is a sentiment we have heard echoed from his friends. matt: how did this guy manage -- he seemed to prioritize his family and families of his friends. his personal life, very important to him. he was constantly doing business , flying from one place to another making deals. it has to make your head whirl. olivia: jamie dimon put out an e-mail yesterday with a video of jimmy lee and in it he says the last piece of advice he gives is , you have got to put your family first and the way you do it is you have to be organized. put those soccer games and teachers meetings up there with meetings with the ceo.

tell us more about what it was like working with him. we had bill cohan on earlier who said he was built for making big deals. steve: having a handle on the ups and downs of any kind of deal. i worked for him on many deals. he was part of one of the largest ever done in terms of financing. jimmy was skilled at eating able to focus and keep a lot of balls in the air -- at being able to focus and keep a lot of balls in the air. i think he focused on his family at the same time, which was a huge testament. i think he lived his life how he wanted to live it. he made a difference both in his family and the company he worked with.

it is a sad day. matt: thank you for joining us. steve pagliuca, friend of the late great jimmy lee. let's check in on top headlines. the mers virus surfaced entire in -- in thailand. south korea is still fighting an outbreak. the death toll rose to 23. another sign that inflation may take time to reach the fed's target. the cost of living excluding food and fuel rose 1/10 of a percent in may. the consumer price index rose 4/10 of a percent. fewer americans filed for unemployment benefits last week. employers are optimistic demand will pick up and are holding on to the workers they have got. in a few minutes the world's best golfers will tee it up at the u.s. open.

olivia: the st. petersburg international economic forum. a trio of russia's most influential figures. we're joined by the editor in chief of the daily paper known as the independent.

wonderful to see you. i want to hear about your takeaways from this conversation . how honest these think they were being? how candid where they being about the depth of the slowdown in russia and the challenges the economy faces? constantine: they were honest in intention. they intended to talk openly on the problems. i think what is needed is there specific set of concrete steps which should be made in order to overcome the crisis which russia is now sinking within deeper. some of the speakers said the positive news is that the

numbers which we use how -- the numbers are better than expected. this is a relative way to measure success story. the lack of information about how to attract investments which tended to be zero and russian economy. through investments, you can solve the problem which is now the basic russian economic strategy. since we never heard about the substitution as the economic miracle, there are doubts that this time substitutions without investments -- short of touching

the real issues. olivia: you are there with the biggest business leaders in russia. does president putin listen to influential businessman? en? konstantin: russian businessmen like to come here because they like to understand horizons of what the government is going to do. maybe in the course of the forum the horizon will become closer and more clear to them. so far it is unclear what will be the answer to russia pass economic -- russia's economic policy.

olivia: quickly, what is your assessment of how much damage sanctions have done to the russian economy? konstantin: could you ask again? olivia: how much damage do you think the western sanctions have actually done to the russian economy? plenty of its own problems from the fallen energy crisis to inflation. i want to know how much damage you think western sanctions have done. konstantin: actually, if we talk about the dimensions of damage by the end of 2015, russian private companies and banks will have to repay $143 billion of debt. it appears about half of that

russian companies and banks will have to repay to their own entities inside one company or one group of physical persons to control. that means about 73 billion remains to be repaid by the end of. olivia: i apologize but we will leave it there. thank you so much. ♪
