with attention to it has to be twitter. this was a standout stock. take a look at the big spike. on they moving average first time since april. news story that came out that rumored there was 31 billion dollars takeover bid, and it was a bogus website. it looked exactly like a bloomberg.com website, although it had bloomberg talk market in bloomberg.market instead. we've seen a lot of people moving markets, so i want to highlight that. the stories at making headlines this hour. after two years of tough diplomacy there is a deal and arrest nuclear program. it is aimed at giving a run from building a nuclear weapon and in return the u.s." the u.s."

powers will eventually lift economic sanctions. recordnt obama says the makes the world safer. >> i have no doubt that the person who holds this house well be in a stronger position, and with the inspection and transference is that allows to manager anywhere any of program ce that allows us to monitor the iranian program. it would be responsible to walk away from this deal. alix: here is house speaker john boehner. >> this is not about democrats or republicans, it is not a partisan issue all. in his right versus wrong. you do everything we can to get the details, and it is as that is deal as i think it is at this moment, we'll do everything we can to stop it. alix: president obama and prime

minister benjamin netanyahu spoke on the phone about the accord. earlier benjamin netanyahu made it clear that israel is against the agreement. this deal will give an unreformed, unrepentant and far-reaching terrorist regime the capacity to produce many nuclear bombs. an entire nuclear arsenal with the means to deliver it. what a stunning historic mistake. alix: speaking in a nationwide televised address above the iranian president had this to say. >> the page of the past 12 here time, which was company by the illusions from the world powers has completely turned and a new chapter has begun. this new chapter opens on the basis that the solution to problems in the world can have a shorter and less costly path as

well. rouhaniesident dismissed claims that it sought to make atomic weapons under its new program matt: the bailout talks have been set for a vote tomorrow. must live the on his own coalition. the press has run into opposition from his own cabinet. introducedl, which many new issues, which speaks of 15 billion euros and guarantees oflic property, which speaks changes in law like those that will lead to the confiscation of which refers to the complete description of constitutional value, we cannot agree with it. > matt: he says the eu summit was the result of pressure on his country. he will have to rely on opposition parties now to

approve the legislation. lawmakers must approve the -- ratification of the legislation before talks get even begin on the bailout. and expensesrose fell at j.p. morgan. wall street firms have turned to cost-cutting in the last four of the five years. and in may jpmorgan said it would cut thousands of jobs and back-office workers to cheaper cities. debt income for wells fargo was little income from a year ago -- was little changed from a year ago. retail sales fell unexpectedly into it. and tomorrow you will get janet yellen semiannual titles commit to congress -- testimony to congress. aboutwe were talking

brendan's outlook for the economy. step forward, one step back on retail sales. if you recall we had pretty good and in in both large may, but then we had setbacks in april and june. so our sense of history is that you are not yet able to string together two powerful months. but if you average out the last four months you are doing well. theou are looking back at fed minutes and describing what you see as a fit -- nervous fed. what are they nervous about? >> they managed to being nervous about a lot of different things. the latest thing we alluded to was the situation in greece and the potential for financial contagion. i suspect that today they are not nearly as nervous as they were a week ago on that.

>> tell us about manufacturing, particularly in the areas days. that was supposed to be a bright spot. a bright spot until we have the strength of the dollar. now it is treading water. numbers look slightly better, but are still disappointing compared to what the rune been prior to up in the dollar that started a year ago. the industrial production numbers, which will be out tomorrow, probably look slightly better, but overall manufacturing is pretty much either treading water or growing up slightly. to boost the economy what we need is the service sector and the construction sector, because manufacturing has those headwinds from the dollar. knowy sense now that we vaguely with the price is going to be, and what effect that will have on consumer sentiment? >> typically when the gasoline

prices go down that has been good for consumer sentiment. the oil prices are pretty near bottom right now. -- it isan supplies not at all for sure that the united states will approve of this agreement. i think absent more visibility at certainty about what is happening with the iranian supply, oil probably stays close to what he does right now. yesterday we reported about blackstone selling some of their real estate holdings, in atlanta. tells about the housing industry. >> the housing industry is doing well. the builders have limited the supply they're putting on the market brady went upward pressures on prices. this is one reason why somebody

like blackstone who loaned all of these residential properties is starting to take some profit here and there. the greatolding on to bulk of their holdings, but in some places it makes sense to take profits. pimm: when you expect from the janet yellen reserve? >> i think it will go with the september meeting. i think she should be able tomorrow to express somewhat less and certainty and worry about contagion surrounding the greek financial problems. performing as well as they continue to perform this year, the fed is on track for that first increase. matt: that was our chief u.s. economist speaking with pimm fox. alix: the prime minister is speaking hungry tv.

deal. his high-end's were tied. that seems to be how he is for trying himself in this interview on greek tv. matt: a lot of talk about gunboat diplomacy there. i guess that is the card that he is playing. alix: if it goes through parliament, if it cannot come to his own party, how much opposition does that have to get ? if they are able to agree with the framework? this is a framework for negotiation, this is not a final deal. this is as we are agreeing to talk. matt: this is something they have to do in order for talks to start. thecan understand why europeans would make that demand. in the past, they have asked for certain concessions, for example a $50 billion asset fund that greece has agreed to come of got the money and had not followed through on it. because you have this

congressmen and embraced this deal. i think the fact that both obama and clinton have likely supported this, that while they have big questions, it bodes well for democrats. the republican national committee definitely had some strong words to say about that the deal would not happen without hillary clinton being putting things in motion. explanationrica an about why she empowered legislation for a war iran. ofif you go back to the left cycle, what hurt her and for policy is the fact that she supported the iraq war. has engineeredhe a diplomatic agreement to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons, is not only is going to help her with the democratic primary voters, bullet holes generally. we support that by a rate of
