>> i think we will see a short-term recovery and decline in production. early 2016, i see $40 per barrel. erik: why $40 per barrel? a supply problem, demand problem for both? supply is really a problem. what you are seeing is the spectacular success of the producers in the u.s., increasing production at a rate much faster than the market can absorb it. world oil demand is it acted to grow up -- go up another million and 2016 but we will have to wait for it to soak up the excess supply. erik: are you not concerned, speaking of demand, about china? aboute been speaking concerns expressed by bmw and toyota about the case of china car sales. gambling revenue in macau down. you are of course familiar with what is going on in the chinese

with a report in september two we expect iranian oil in a big way. -- do we expect iranian oil in a big way. are: what other factors going to help to either upset the supply demand imbalance one -- if another or if we do we look ahead 6-12 months from now? >> if we see iraq produce as well as libya -- as well as iran. -- as as things libya things are in libya, if they could get their act together, we could see demand adding to the overall supply situation. market iswhat the hoping for is the decline transfers to lower production in the u.s., and that the same time demand continues to increase throughout the world.

i think 2016 will be a rather weak year for oil prices. the spreadthat mean between brent and wti will narrow over that time? itironically, i think depends on which quarter you are looking at. i think in the near term, the spread will they wrote. as we get into the first quarter and third quarter, the refinery maintenance season will reduce demand. -- i think in the near term this spread welill widen. towill widen the spread back seven dollars-nine dollars per barrel in the first quarter. after that, we could see a gradual narrowing as refiners pick up their run. olivia: currently trading half the price they were 12 months ago. thank you for your time. andy lipow from houston. to remember for disney's film studio, posting to billion dollars in revenue 2" in part.vengers

the ceo saying the new product coach has come out is resonated with customers. take a look at the bloomberg terminal. we have seen these big declines. if that's not updated with the latest number, but seeing a little bit of slowing of declines. last order at 23% drop in sales. this quarter 19%. the trend a little bit better. talking about the trend that cvs as well. narrowing the full-year earnings for fast, bringing down the top end of the or cast. lowing.ales growth retail sales up 2.2% of the rising 2.9% in the first quarter. we just looked at coach. numbers.ooked at its cvs on a look at yes -- comparable sales basis. we saw an improvement.

anional correspondent and --lyst from that kerry and obama political campaign. joining us from the bureau in washington. a lot of us here in the media have been making light of donald trump candidacy for president. he now has a double-digit, maintaining a double-digit lead in the polls. it is now time to take donald ?rump run seriously cap iti don't we have to take all that seriously. yes, he is running their far ahead. in the same polls that have those ahead, where you also ask it people like him or not, generally they came back with the risk wants, no, i don't like him, and he is allowed not. i think the question for the candidates going to be in the debate with him, do they try to engage him and get into the media cycle with him, or do they act more like a statesman?

someone who will be in it for the long term? they can come across well, but they may not break well. some do need name recognition to go up. olivia: why do you think donald trump is still dominating the polls here? is it just a celebrity factor echo >> not at all. he basically appeals to every single demographics of regard republicans. rich, poor, college educated,-educated self identified conservatives, tea party groups and the only narrowly -- and only narrowly in second place against moderate republican voters. he is the purest expression of republican policy preferences and republicans preferred attitudes about washington elites and democrats so it makes a certain kind of sense he would be dominating republican field and the way our new poll shows he is. that is really interesting. i did not realize he had lost

the term in the field. i'm thinking of ted cruz, rick santorum and the like. olivia: that is a hug -- >> that is a huge open question. i do not see trump going the distance as a republican nominee. generally people got out of the race as they run out of money. that is probably not going to be the issue for him. he could continue as an independent. he could draw strongly for a democratic nominee. if he is not going to be the nominee, which once people get those are in the actual voting, it seems unlikely he will represent the party, the republican party is really searching or the soul. do they go for someone more establishment like a bush, someone considered an outsider like a walker, or someone who has been trying to go hard right like ted cruz? olivia: let's cross party. vice president running

for president mean for hillary clinton? >> i don't think it will mean anything at all, really. i think it is a purely media concocted phenomenon. there is absolutely no rationale whatsoever for joe biden candidacy seriously does not draw a group of supporters that hillary clinton is not already drawing. he will not get the far left fouled away bernie sanders is. probably not going to get african-american his anecdote or the female vote. hillary clinton's polling well among all of them. i think they are bored with the government ethics toward. here comes this i think tony biden phenomenon. phony biden phenomenon. olivia: what a lot of people like about joe biden is he is a straight talker. perhaps the same appeal that will bode well for him on the dem ticket. ?hat do you think yo

>> there is something to that. trump barely has a campaign. just cap him around, get some cameras on him. as we pointed out, the media gets tired of covering hillary all of that time. he could be someone that phase out there for a little while. i do think it is a value that he has in the field, sanders and o'malley and cheesy not really pushing clinton forward. there is always value in primaries to have to rush out the ideas. he could add the value in the primary. olivia: would you like to see him run? >> i think i could be a very interesting fall. olivia: could he perhaps be a backup plan for the democrats in e-mailse comes out of from the state department from hillary clinton's e-mail account? >> in theory, sure. gravitas, great track record. intainly would be a grown up the field if he decides to run. hard to believe that some e-mail

will take down hillary clinton and joe biden will have to leap into the race to save the democratic party. fun to talk about in august, but i think it will not be a name anyone is talking about. do you think there is another candidate out there that offer toa viable hillary clinton? >> note. -- nope. olivia: thank you very much, josh green joining us from the bureau in washington. , includinguch more energy stocks that have been hit hard along with the price of oil. if you are invested, it may not be all bad news. paying some pretty nice dividends. michael regan joins us next. ♪
