we are seeing american expectations is reflected in this university of michigan report an eight-month low. economists were looking for reading of 94 even. that is a decrease from the number we got for june. all of that said, the gauge has 90 forove 94 -- above eight months. it looks like again if the forward-looking indicator within this overall reading that's coming in below estimates. matt: jules, thank you. we will take you back and check very little-- change on the s&p 500, you can see really unchanged there, 21 lh. the dow jones industrial average down in the face of big oil earnings that dropped and disappointed. 17,702. a 44 point drop.

the nasdaq up, i would call that unchanged as well. julie: i would indeed. not just the data we just saw a few months ago, but the wage data i know we spoke on your program. matt: 0.2%, increasing wage cost. we were looking for .6%. last month we had .7%. that was a disappointment. let's get to the top stories cross the bloomberg terminal at this hour. hiring is improving the pay isn't. that's the bottom line today in the new figures from the labor department we were just talking about that say the growth of wages and benefits this spring was the slowest in nearly three decades. i would sector salaries and benefits were unchanged, the weakest showing since the government started to keep track 35 years ago. if you think this is only in retail and no where else, it's

at least having a huge impact. also the united postal service has agreed to buy coyote logistics, the price is $1.8 billion, the deal is designed to help ubs expanded in truckload freight and it helps ease congestion at peak times. ups is buying coyote from private equity firm betty: gilbert pincus. i'm really not allergic to you. i hope that's not the case. betty: the price of oil is biggest monthly drop this year, west texas intermediate is likely finished ally down nearly 20%, and there is no sign the glut of oil will dry up soon. u.s. crude stockpiles aromas 100 million barrels above the five-year average and exports in southern iraq set a record this month. -- whichggest loser right 93 stock indexes around the world. one stood out for losing 14% this month. we have the story from hong kong.

juliet: no surprise which market won the award for this month worst-performing. the shanghai composite having its worst month in six years. in july, despite the unprecedented government intervention to hold the 3.5 trillion stock rally. they may have lifted chinese equities for 18%, but monday this week sellers returned on serious valuations that were unsustainable saying the shanghai composite plunged 8.5% in one session. andlatile month for many, they remain bullish. beijing becomes the first that he ever to host the summer and winter olympics. the chinese capital was chosen this morning as the site of the 2022 winter games. the international olympic committee held a secret vote during its meeting in malaysia. the finalists were kazakhstan and beijing. critics pointed to china's

delusion as a minor. the president boasted its country can offer mountains and real snow. matt: and probably less pollution. betty: indeed. those of the top stories. matt: energy prices having a big impact on major oil producers. exxon posted its worst quarterly profits since 2006. don't cry too much for them though, that company has still made more than $4 billion in profits for the quarter. it is down from nearly $9 billion a year ago. story forimilar chevron, the quarterly profit was the worst in more than a decade. both companies are racing to cut costs with no signs of recovery in crude prices anytime soon. here with me as bloomberg's alix steel and we have an energy analyst. let's start with you. what it is government is going to do, keep cutting back on

spending? looking toare offload. assetsd a breakdown of that was pretty ugly and brutal for the company. exxon does not have that problem. we did not hear they are trying identityssets alix: assets. they actually get an oil discovery in a country and a republic right off of venezuela that could have as $40 billion worth of oil reserves. likes huge for a company exxon which made me wonder, did that change their mna hopes? tap-in and be putting more wells in the ground? doug, we were talking earlier with other analysts who said what opec is doing and what saudi is doing is trying to boost its production and take back market shares by discouraging other users from putting new wells in the ground.

? -- is that working? doug: we think it is. if you go back to the agreement they had to not lower production , if you think about where we are today, demand is improving meaningfully. we had seven consecutive positive revisions to global oil demand. demand is starting to recover. you think about not impact supply, it grew about 2.4 million barrels last year. that growth rate gets cut in half this year to about 1.3 million barrels today. good -- inventory significantly. we think they are close to a peak in inventory. demand will exceed supply and 2016, they will come down and this methodical recovering all prices we revision -- we envision will gain some legs. it's going to be a methodical recovery. alix: you are looking at places

like mexico, brazil. if you listen to what exxon says, they are cutting spending on major projects like floating crude platforms by 20%. that is the deepwater situation, not opec, non-us supply. that is a concern if you wind up cutting enough, you wind up cutting production and you actually have production squeeze down the road because demand is higher and we don't have enough supply, and have higher pricing. betty: i met with the head of shell earlier this month, who was talking about the impact on u.s. production, the decline in oil prices on the rigs that the shale oil industry here, i want you both to listen to what he said about that. >> is probably getting near the bottom, although we can certainly fall further. we have seen a little bit of strengthening in oil prices as they started to fall again. i don't have any doubt you would see the rig count fall again. the stress level is cumulative.

companies are seeing that in the onshore business. betty: are we seeing a bottom? added 21 oil industry rigs last week, about six or nine of them came for u.s. shale. we were adding wells in the u.s. as oil prices completely destroyed. you do see rigs lag by about three to five months, and we've not seen that yet. matt: doug, what about m&a action? are we going to see more about that? we'll big players go sweep up small players are having trouble tapping credit lines? seeinge probably are this. they're looking at mergers and acquisition opportunities. but quite frankly, the real issue with these companies is not that they are not big enough, there plenty big. it's just that if you look at their capital expenditure, in relation to what they distributed to shareholders, and as doubled since 2008 at 2009. not only on absolute basis the

relative to the markets. whether they become larger or not is not the solution. they just need to become more disciplined with their spending, improve the returns. if they do, they will improve in the market and we won't see these big earnings messes like we saw today. started cutting costs before oil prices fall, which is partly why exxon is , liens, andlix: dividends. we heard from a son they're slashing dividends for this quarter. it's all about dividends. protect that at all costs. the rest doesn't matter. you own them the dividend yields. bloomberg's alix steel. watch her show at 4:00 p.m. with joe weisenthal. thanks for doug and we appreciate your time from ever core isi. coming up on the "bloomberg market day," the president of asset management 40 ia kraft has

essentially give up liquidity, which we can in order to get higher returns for our clients. we also go with uncorrelated asset classes as a way to balance out the portfolio. you have 5 million individual clients, 15,000 institutions. you manage my mother's retirement fund because she is a professor. i was think of tiaa-cref as managing retirements for teachers, for professors. but that's only about two thirds of your client base. >> that's right. there had to have your mother is a client. you can tell her her money is in very good hands. we are doing great from an investment performance perspective. and also the financial strength of the firm is tremendous. in addition to that, as you mentioned, that's the core business, the retirement of not-for-profit. we provide financial services for those who serve others. but one third of our client base now is third-party asset management globally. every thing for investors and mutual funds to sovereign wealth funds and pension funds around the world. in all types of investments. matt: you have grown alternative

as long as the two founders are involved, that is a good sign, hopefully they will maintain the vision. sometimes it is better to have outside talent to help provide that the balance for investors. betty: where do you think soul cycle could take their brand? prof. ritter: to big cities. you need customers. it is price-sensitive. it helps to be in locations where it is not easy to go bicycling. i'm sympathetic to this, i met my wife while bicycling. in gainesville, the countryside is much closer than in egg cities. betty: i imagine they will want to go overseas? leslie: they want to open 10 to studios internationally. that is part of their strategy as well as suburban and metropolitan areas in the u.s.

bills. it has been over $2 million in the box office -- $20 million in the box office. has received good reviews. the studio hopes they will have a good opening weekend, then word-of-mouth from the reviews will give it a longer run in the theaters. betty: how did this do overseas? paul: very well. very well overseas, probably stronger than in the u.s.. global boxof the office is out of north america. it is more important that a film does well internationally than domestically. film, a sequel to a sequel 12 long-running franchise, that should play well. betty: especially in china. paul: especially in china.

i'm sure they will aggressively market this film to offset a ish u.s. box office over the last few years. betty: he is doing interviews, he is on jimmy fallon lip-synching, he is more promotional. paul: for the longest time that was huge asset. now that his personal life, with scientology and other things, have clouded his image for some people. the question is, is his personal strong as it used to be? he is old school, and the studio believes he does have star power and can drive box office. some of the younger actors may be more impressive on social media to build a dollars, but he feels, if the studio

they can get him on jimmy fallon least forcally, at the weekend, it will lead to things down the road for the film. betty: it is with one of the mission impossible films that he got into it with matt lauer and the use of medication for mental illness. that was very damaging to his brand. now, it seems like no one is talking to him about scientology. why? paul: he is probably choosing more selectively where he goes. he probably puts down ground rules. he might not be on a morning show that features harder news. he leans more to the entertainment oriented shows. they put him on a lot of covers of magazines. they are trying to be more select youth. betty: i was told that john stewart had him on and got criticized for not asking about

scientology. like john travolta to a lesser extent. it has been an issue for their image and how they protect themselves in hollywood. how well they can carry a film globally. it is more than issue in the .s. than outside of the u.s. that is where some of the big money for these domes are being made. betty: paul sweeney, our u.s. -- on tom cruise and mission impossible. we will be back. ♪ ♪
