lot of opposition on this. it is going to be very painful. the second point on this is that they are going to need debt relief of some sort, whether it is a restructuring of the debt or a prolonged payment of the debt, something needs to be done. currently sees the current debt as unsustainable. this makes it harder for them to pay off their debt, so there is a disconnect there if they wanted to take tough measures, it is going to be hard to repay the debt and therefore they will have to get some kind of relief of some sort. betty: they are going to need a bigger right down. -- big write down. that's what it is. robert: they will need to write it down. the germans seem willing to do the latter, they want to prolong the payment. for maybe deck -- payment period for maybe decades. potentially beld

longer and more volatile than getting the deal passed? this is going to require a lot of subsidies, including for pensioners to have their pension reduced, so there will be things that will make it very difficult for the greek people. on the other hand, had they not done this, it would have made life even more difficult. the banks would not have been able to reopen and there would have been a huge, catastrophic credit crunch and they would have to probably not go out of the eurozone or go out of the euro or stop using the euro. betty: temporarily, at least? robert: temporarily, at least, and it would take months to put that into place. betty: across europe, there is very little sympathy for the greek people, in particular what is going on, in germany, they were outright angry having to go

"what a huge joke. germany is the country that has never repaid its debts." robert: we have to deal with the current issue, and the current issue is that the greeks have borrowed a lot of money over the past few years, and countries have lent them a lot of money and individuals have lent of
12:37 pm
them a lot of money. and people who have been speculating that things have been getting better have given them a lot of money. i don't to the point of dredging up history. betty: is there any value of seeing that in that context? robert: i think there is very little value, if any, it in seeing it in that context. we could go back into the history of all sorts -- by the way, 11 american states defaulted in 1873. shelley go back there? -- shall we go back there? sustain that can't debt and the world has to figure out, including the imf and the european union, how to deal with this. the united states government, if the imf gets involved as it is the leading shareholder in the i'm, have to deal with this as well. u.s., speaking about the

12:39 pm
access? robert: it is hard to do with the reactors, you cannot just slip them on and flip them off. the iaea is going to be very strong on this. this is hardly perfect, but the question is, is it better than letting the iranians continue building with no monitoring at all? betty: with no monitoring at all, right. money, wed with this got a lot more monitoring and transparency that was otherwise the case. and don't forget that this is not just an american deal, as was french, this was the u.k., this was china, and russia, they don't want that as well. there werere we go, companies that had less, and how quickly do you expect that they will go back into the country of iran? question is an
12:40 pm
interesting one. what we don't know is what kind of deal was reached between the supreme leader and their factions in iran that didn't like this deal? i don't think the military liked it and i think there were a lot of people on the hard right that didn't want to give up anything on the nuclear side or make a deal with the united states. betty: at all. robert: so the question is, what will this look like for foreign investment? what i have heard is that the iranians have scheduled a conference of senior leaders in september and this is something that at least indicates that some people now feel, in particular the people on the street who were celebrating, they weren't us so much celebrating a victory over the united states, these are young kids, by and large, and they want iran. to be open -- iran to be open. >betty: they want access to the

betty: welcome back to the "bloomberg market day." i am betty liu. we are following some breaking news out of chattanooga, tennessee. police arehere says following an active shooter. the u.s. navy said in a tweet that it is investigating the reports of shooting at a navy recruiting the lien. there is also reports at a
12:45 pm
chattanooga college that they tweeted reports on their platform that there were reports of shooting on campus and they are asking everyone to remain inside. we are going to bring you any headlines as soon as they come across. in the meantime, we are going to look back on the markets, and the u.s. markets in particular, and they're reaching a high it -- highs of the session. joining us now is julie hyman. up thathe nasdaq is now are than 1%, helped in part by bymer earnings reports netflix and dow jones. let's take a look a little bit more granular early - may, there are i areas of slight red, including materials, but there is a
12:46 pm
relatively broad-based rally. it is relatively defensive, interesting enough. it is not the cyclical groups, telecommunication, utilities are helping to lead the gains in the session here. you can see these three groups are helping to lead telecom -- or tech, i should say, and note these earnings between intel and netflix. i also want to look at the commodities markets today. we are seeing a selloff of gold after six straight sessions of declines. gold is trading at its lowest in eight months as well. it was down another three dollars or so today or one third of 1%, excuse me, especially after we heard from janet yellen yesterday that it is likely we will see a rate increase here.
12:47 pm
we also will see a short spike in gold, and if you take a close look here, this goes back to the beginning of when the u.s. government began tracking this in 2006. you can see clearly the highest amount of short interest in the gold that we have had since we began tracking it. also, let's look at the movement and oil since we are tracking commodities. aprilat its lowest since 9. it is not off by much, about one third of 1%. betty? betty: thank you, julie. how the a look at european markets closed, here is magnus cranny. every day you have a building block of good news. the greeks are getting a little bit of extra liquidity. just enough to tide them over for next week. debte are talking about
12:48 pm
forgiveness or elongated maturities on the debt for greece. the longest winning streak since march, paris is up since the start of the year. in european stocks are up 9% now from their nadir. great set of numbers here for june. upr scene auto registrations 50%, that is the best in five-and-a-half years, bmw is just swatting away their issues by making the numbers go up in china. this is quite nice to get you are seeing the autos do very , thatand as far as swatch to glitter on your arm, china mainland is helping the stop move up 5.2%, and that is going to bolster us of what is going on in hong kong. betty: all right, that was manus
12:49 pm
cranny in london for us. and it is fundraising time for the presidential candidate did the data is in for hillary clinton. elon musk is one of the donors as well as stephen spielberg and jeffrey katzenberg, they are among the biggest donors of her campaign. hillary clinton it raised $8.1 million in$8.1 california. her total is $47 million. in the meanwhile, jeb bush has $114 million. we are joined by mark crumpton now. mark: that is interesting, sheryl sandberg said back in april that she would like to see
12:50 pm
more women running for president and more women in politics, so i guess we got a hit from her back then. betty: it is not surprising at all. forthe wall street money jeb bush is not surprising. and it is also not surprising that hollywood was supporting her. that is unsurprising as well. more than 50 employees from the talent agency in hollywood donated $80,000, and there was also employees at facebook and google. so they are tapping into that star power again as they usually do. and there has of course been the complaint from republicans that california has a liberal bias, and that money seems to bear that out. betty: this is perfect evidence for them. thatmight also show hillary clinton is out of touch with the public, she mixes in with the hollywood elite.
12:51 pm
you can't to get more elite than the hollywood movers and shakers. but look, this is a little bit of fuel, i would say, for her opponents. they could say she is out of touch with the middle class. youus: you know, -- mark: know, that is an interesting thing, when you make money, they say you're out of touch. story, nexther hour. we are going to be talking about greece, as you say, and we mean this with all due respect, but this story about greece is the gift that keeps on giving. we will be speaking with a representative from moody's and they will be talking about passing these anti-austerity measures and they believe they are mortar coney and that the ones they agreed to earlier this year -- they believe they are onian than and -- drac

aboutng, they tell people it, and the company did not disclose this either, and they would obviously have then involved in the marketing, too. betty: what do they say about this? what does millennium say about this? they said that you could google the story, and they said there was an investigation and similar things happening with these lawsuits. but they want to give you a perspective and say, this is how this is going to impact our company. they did not do that. betty: to some extent, they need to do their own research. sure, and it is entirely up to the lender to understand the company, but at the same time, there are things that the company needs to disclose. betty: so jp morgan says what? jp morgan has not
