2:38 pm
for its television programming, does that translate into the bottom line? is there a quantifiable number? >> we cannot say you will get a certain number of silence run a certain show. it has covered media stocks for a while what you know is when you get a hit show, that you do tend to see a subscriber up left and i first got bullish on netflix when they cannot with housing parts because i regret things about that show that consumers would respond to it. powerful.een very you are a much higher level now in terms of expectations. a movie would not be transformational, just something that would go into a broad sea of contents including movies from disney, original letter working, and a whole momentum of subscription over the top. scarlet: i know that you are
2:39 pm
talking out the breath of netflix selection of content. thistflix tries to make transition, in his cutting back on rights to nonexclusive contact. will that affect the breadth of its election that it does offer? they are changing the mix, but i think that his grace. i think that the opportunity to get a margin improvement in this company is not nearly as good as creating original hit shows. they have done so well at this that i like to see them focusing on that more. i think that is the real brand opportunity. nobody cannot all the content in the world. what you need to have is content that will convince a lot of going up to $10 a month,
2:40 pm
and the margin leverage on it is tremendous. you hit the point where they are stable in context cost. that really drops for rapidly to the bottom line. i think it will be the second leg of this story. look at the stock price, they have declined for seven straight days before coming back a little bit. was there a rereading of the stock here? 10 the world's most momentum german stocks that is going to go way up and way down, you have to fasten your seatbelt and is in for a bobby ryan if you're going to be logging -- billy long or short. they are on the right side of what is happening from a secular perspective on tv. their brand is huge. we have surveyed consumers. the netflix's repertoire watching netflix as much or more as they are watching tv. tv costs $80 a month, and these guys are charging nine dollars a
2:41 pm
month. i think they can move that up a few dollars. each dollar that they added 700 million to the bottom line. i think they will emerge the winner even from here. scarlet: thank you so much. coming up on the bloomberg market day, oils slide is put in perspective. we take a deeper look at goldman sachs. ♪
2:43 pm
2:44 pm
you're talking about goldman sachs is forecast of crude oil. ordered five dollars is where it is right now. but possibly $20 a barrel. what is your read on this divergence between perspectives on oil? are all looking at the same metrics, but people are coming up with entirely different forecast. it all boils down to one data point. how you will non-opec supplies be brought in. when that production rules over his when the market balances is when these people have emerging views. a same we will see a decline of about 500,000 barrels by the other 2018. up andwill also ratchet therefore is going to put more pressure on opec to produce more. the balance market. the goldman sachs calls quite
2:45 pm
different. they see production shuttling and itthey say you will see as , almost 600,000 barrels a day for the u.s. and in addition, about 280 5000 barrels outside the u.s. in the gulf of mexico, canada, brazil. that is a ready extreme call to have to see that shut in. goldman says the thing that is going to do it is a capital market. the capital markets have the producers and say we will not give you any more market. there is an important time consideration. scarlet: coming up in the next couple of months, banks will decide on the credit line to a lot of these commodity companies. alix: redetermination. this is right around the corner. we talk a lot about the high-yield players here in the u.s. and how they are going to get squeezed. but goldman points out it is really the investment grade u.s. producers who produce three times as much as a high-yield
2:46 pm
guys that really need to come in under pressure from a meeting not enough for the high-heeled players to go out of business or shut down production. the investment guys that need to pare back. that is why they seek $20 will do it. they say $20 could be hit, and immediatecause an rebalancing. that could be hit once we hit storage capacity. if we keep producing, we do not use the cruise, and we had horse storage capacity, a familiar story from about eight euros. scarlet: whether from their perspectives, it seems that opec matters less than the shale producers or canada. alix: they matter differently is what i was saying. if he saw saudi arabia cutting production, it would better a lot more. but they are not producing quite as much. as long as they are overproducing, it leaves the shown inon-02 really
2:47 pm
production, because it is made it very clear that certain countries are not going to do that. they did not say in the about opec cutting, because they produce 31.6 million barrels a day, and that is perfect if this other one gets shot in. very big influence on the market, but in a day when -- different way. are not they unpredictable. they are the predictable aspect of this relationship. alix: they're just beginning differently. the other points that goldman has in the note, which is really quite fascinating is the relationship between emerging-market currencies in the quantity itself. this is percolating throughout the whole analyst community that is a pivotal factor. if you can take you do to have inflationary cost in certain countries like brazil and russia where you have seen the ruvell and the reality of hammered over the last year, oil production
2:48 pm
will rise because cost has gone down. to dohough it is cheaper so, you are going to produce as much as you can get as much as you can. it is difficult to make a case of why the air conditioner production. scarlet: who is the dog and who is the tale? it is going to trickle down to the rest of the emerging markets, i do not know. that linkage between emerging-market currencies and what they do with production ties over to copper as well. alix: absolutely. argument forthat any commodity that is heavily produced outside of the u.s.. up to 40% of global copper supply. they need to see the currency stabilize and rise to stopped inflationary cost in order to want to shut in production.
2:49 pm
it was just so fascinating today that they have two totally different agencies with different takes on the exact same data. it shows how difficult it is to predict what is happening of oil, because nobody understands shale, because this is the first time it has happened. scarlet: we do not have a precedent for that to draw on. thank you so much. nexton't be back in the hour to take us through the market close. not the top stories of this hour. wildfires are raging in central california, and more evacuations have now been ordered. sheriff deputies are going door-to-door in the blazes threatening giant sequoia trees, some 3000 years old. the federal government is ending a decade-long relationship with the waldorf-astoria. it is now under chinese ownership, and that has officials worried about espionage. switch has been in more for months, but it was announced today.

chipmaker. this was in the news earlier today. they were raising the rating on any of the -- on amd. saying that it is no secret that they are cpu roadmap is hardly competitive. scarlet: thank you. that stock popping on that unconfirmed report. walmart's suppliers are fighting back. vendors who still there gets to the world's biggest retailer or refusing to pay new warehouse fees. earlier today convert newsroom orders explained to betty liu and pimm fox why walmart is treading the fees in the first place. >> this is a part of a whole companywide review i and how they run their businesses. reinvigorateng to margins. but they started doing back in june was sending letters to about 10,000 u.s. suppliers telling them that they will start employees sing new fees on
2:54 pm
many of them, and 1% fee for using a warehouse in 1% fee for using a distribution center, a fee if you wanted to be in a new store. they will closely link how they were paid to win their inventorytakes 90 days or inventory to move, you will get paid every 90 days rather than every 30 days. some of these these do not sound like a law, but are a company, and there are some big companies -- procter & gamble, clerks, johnson & johnson that do billions of dollars in business, it will add up to a lot of money for a supplier. and the change for a small supplier will be drastic as well . some suppliers in and went to their banks and cover with more loans. betty: how are they able to do this? this is not about fair,
2:55 pm
this is about making money. >> suppliers are really upset about this. none of the suppliers wanted to be quoted in the story that you can find on bloomberg.com. they are afraid of hurting the relationship of debt with walmart. they do not know what to do. some of them are coming to be hoping that they can raise awareness about this. wem: here is our concerns, want walmart to hear them. >> this is walmart, they are vague, they have been long known for leaving every last penny out of suppliers. -- but they were not known for trying to change payment terms are attack on added fees. other retailers do do that. they charge warehousing fees and distribution center fees. they say to those suppliers are
2:56 pm
not getting our lowest price. we are already giving and brought a lot of low price, and i you want us to pay additional. is this different from the industry? >> walmart says it is in line of the industry, and in some places, macy's was pointed out as a retailer that charges on additional extra fees. it is mostly, not that walmart has done anything crazy, it is just that they've done something crazy for walmart. we have much more coming up on the bloomberg market day. we will counting down to the close. be less than week away from the policy decisions.
