the way i look at it, you look at some of the other phase, the sure thing without getting too specific, they will be in the downstream operations. they have ways of making money and cash flow and raise the dividend when things are tough. scarlet: banks usually set the town. whether this time? or are we going to take early from energy companies and whatever write-downs they may have to do? john: we have to watch the banks. the energy companies, and because of exposures, banks will have to take write-downs. earnings expectations in general are very important. fromngs as precisions run 2011 to the end of last year, the client because of oil per marlee -- primarily in the last year. watch it. to still no sign it is going to happen, but i would rather they be up a little bit than down at this point time. so far, the signs are that the expectations are coming down pretty dramatically.
12:10 pm
i'm not sure what could possibly cause and improving earnings outlook. i don't necessarily see it. scarlet: where would the upside to press come from? john: the u.s. economy gets better. that is what you have to hope for. time just passes and things to to accrete over time. but it's hard to build a strong case right now. pimm: i want to throw three companies at you, just as an illustration. petrobras.e, and scarlet: there is a theme here. pimm: three companies, several of them rated pretty high in their credit ratings. these things can turn on a dime. john: if things go wrong, they can go wrong very quickly. when our business gets bad, it can get very, very bad. that when those who are strong of heart mcmahon he? john: they do make money. you are catching a falling knife.
12:11 pm
i don't try and sell the absolute or by at the absolute bottom. it'slooking at signs that getting better. i didn't see why the market should have been down in the last quarter anymore than i would have seen it in the last two years, but it happened. i don't see why it comes back right away because it has been a lot of technical damage done and technicians look pretty smart these days so people listen. pimm: they are looking for that 1850 level. last week, i wish i was a technician and this week i wish i had become an electrician. [laughter] i think it takes a while. i still tend to think we don't have enough evidence that the earnings have turned down enough to cause damage. scarlet: what are you hearing about retesting the august lows? mike: yesterday, we came pretty close. so there is some confidence to be had there. there is another camp that believes you cut out under tests that low before you find a bottom. for every technician, there is five different opinions.
12:12 pm
on the one hand and on the other hand and on the other hand. [laughter] thanks so much. now let's get right to the top stories of the hour. the u.s. senate has passed a temporary spending bill just hours before the government at midnight tonight. mitch mcconnell says he is confident the measure will pass the house as well. mcconnell, john boehner, and president obama plan to meet soon about setting government spending limits the next two years. boehner stepping down a month from now, he is -- he has also made clear there are a number of things he wants to accomplish before he leaves. speaker been a: if there's a way to get things done, so i don't burden my successor, i will get them's finished. pimm: boehner says he will hold house leadership elections next week. russia today launched its first
12:13 pm
airstrike in syria. -- theacks and began attacks began just after russian lawmakers authorized vladimir putin to use military force in area. putin is backing syrian bashar al-assad's shaky regime. scarlet: august number was revised slightly downward. you got the government jobs report due out on friday. an american high-tech company has rejected an offer from a chinese investment group that valued it at him as $4 billion. bloomberg news has learned that the group bid $110 per share for semantics. the touch screen technology is for phones, tablets and computers.
12:14 pm
fiat-chrysler has run into trouble with federal safety regulators. it underreported the number of number oflink to the defects in automobiles. this could result in more penalties. fiat was recently fined $105 million in the way it recently handled recalls. whole foods plans to stop selling products made by prison labor. this came after protests. some whole foods outlets so to -- sell and go cheese to lobby a -- sell telapia and goat cheese made by a colorado prison. baggage fees, as we all know, have generated billions of dollars for the airline industry and help them turn back to
12:15 pm
profitable enterprises. those are your top stories. ism: coming up next, mexico due to hold an oil auction at this hour. the results are critical. from ad blocking technology to user targeting methods, we will tell you why tv wants to be more like facebook. it's doors are up that men style for the new tesla model x. but will the possess translated in -- but will the'tis as translate into more sales?
12:18 pm
pimm: this is the bloomberg market day. i am pimm fox. scarlet: and i am scarlet fu. let's check in with ramy. you've got a couple of notable movers. ramy: sports, second pharma up right now. we are seeing a rise in share price of a, up by nearly three and a half percent. you can see that it is coming off of its highs that we saw in the late 10:00 hour. by one is coming from stifel. it is rising from a buy to a hold and it's target is now $100 million per share. we are seeing a huge upside. this all comes as the company splits itself into two today, a sports entertainment division
12:19 pm
and a media division. also in tech, i want to talk security firma, a out of california. you can see it is flailing. you can see the crawl at the bottom of the graph, down by 35%. the company released second-quarter results. its earnings did beat estimates by a sent -- by a penny. the clincher here is that the weight comes from a stronger dollar overseas and longer sales cycles in europe, the middle east as well as asia. so shares are at an all-time low, suffering their eggs intraday drop on record -- their biggest intraday drop on record. america reinstated its buy rating on the stock with a price target of $290. right now, we are looking at 100 $68 in change -- $168 and
12:20 pm
change. they can still manufactured drugs and still have some explicit -- exclusivity on that. it is saying that his own 12-month price target is $300. and finally, tesla, shares right now doing not so well. .8% down. esau betty liu testing out the new model x car. you can see that online at bloomberg.com. scarlet: thank you so much. pimm: still ahead, it is auction time in mexico. time in the second decades, mexico's government is going to auction off oil blocks. scarlet: we will tell you why the results are critical for
12:23 pm
scarlet: this is the bloomberg market day. pimm: at this hour, mexico is holding its second oil auction since 1938. the mexican government is hoping this time around there is going to be more takers. scarlet: at the july auction come only two of the 14 blocks for sale found buyers. the question is, will it be any different this time? brendan: that's right. this is a major test for mexico's oil industry. be passing,eems to maybe not with flying colors, but doing a lot better than last time. they already sold off two of three areas that they are auctioning. this follows some changes in their auction structure. they loosened the financial requirements. they cut the amount of money
12:24 pm
that is going to the tax man. and what they've got so far is one area going to an italian oil company and another area going tonight and 10 company, both with very aggressive bids. the third area was a bit of a dud. we will see what happens with the next two. certainly a lot better than last time. pimm: i wonder if you can describe what effect the oil industry has on mexico's economy and also on the mexican peso. mexico is not as dependent on oil as a used to be. but production in mexico has been falling for 10 years in a row. reversing that slide is one of peña nieto's top goals. seen is that, if the price of oil has collapsed to the last year, it has had a big effect on the peso. it hit a record low again this month. a big week spot for
12:25 pm
gdp growth this year. this comes in a context in which exports and manufactured goods like autos are sort of middling and peña nieto's overall economic or i should say the economic performance during peña nieto's three years in office so far have been very disappointing, much more -- much worse than expected when he first came in. scarlet: you mentioned mexico is not as dependent on oil as it was 30 years ago. mexican has done a great job in diversifying the economy. president's effort to do privatize the old company fit in with the rest? brendan: what peña nieto is trying to do is create a framework where mexico can bring in an estimated, by the government, $60 billion or more in oil investments through 2018
12:26 pm
when peña nieto has to step down. whether he can hit that goal with a price of oil in the 40's, very much an open question. seems asrtainly though, based on today's auction, there has been a little more interest from the global oil industry. that is pretty important as mexico gets ready to auction off the deep oil fields -- the deepwater oil fields next year. pimm: thank you very much. that is it for me this hour. you are going to see on. what do you have coming up? pimm: coming up, we will talk about advertising, television, and of or's facebook. -- and of course facebook.

largest distress asset investment firm says the federal reserve is a logan shive. >> they seem deathly afraid to raise rates. -- they leading somehow through other through sign language -- they lead commentators that it will happen the next month and then they don't do it. this has been going on for two and a quarter years. pimm: howard marks says a hugely anticipated raise of a quarter of a percentage point is clearly meaningless. way a chesapeake energy, the natural gas producer. chesapeake is eliminating 740 positions, about 15% of its workforce. the company has been hurt by the falling price of natural gas. there are down about 60% since the beginning of 2014. and google has released a
12:31 pm
high-end tablet that is aimed to compete with apple and microsoft. .t is called the pixel c google is also updating its the setupftware, television device that rivals apple, amazon, and roku. and twitter is expanding its shopping platform just in time for the holiday season. formed partnerships with shop afar, but commerce, and demand where to make it easier -- and demand ware to make it easier for members to shop. let's just stay with technology for a moment. facebook, which has almost a 1.5 billion users globally, is looking to lower advertisers from television. sheryl sandberg fired this one-shot.
12:32 pm
>> i think the biggest message is that marketers have to understand that the days that you can do a campaign with a 32nd video ad on tv are gone. second video ad- on tv are gone. facebook has just introduced a feature that attempts to further encroach into the world of advertising on television by letting marketers purchase online video advertisements the way they buy television commercials. but the television industry is not going down without a fight. things are about to get personal. any surprise from the comments by sheryl sandberg? they are competing with the tv business. jerry: it is not a surprise. what sheryl sandberg is saying is that facebook -- she is
12:33 pm
saying that we have the size of a super bowl audience every day on our site. pimm: because they have 1.5 billion viewers are followers. jerry: right. not only do we have the same amount of eyeballs as tv, but we can also target consumers much more efficiently than tv. so facebook is now try to take away ad dollars from the tv networks and we are strangers see that the tv networks are fighting back. we can also do the same kind of targeting that facebook does. pimm: tell people what is via media and a little bit about your background so you can inform us about the trend of television advertising versus advertising on the social networks. via media does global advertising. we have about 10,000 local advertisers and we answered about a million and a half linear ads everyday.
12:34 pm
ago, weyear and a half started programmatic tv platform using the data to actually find where that right audiences to advertise on television. my back and for the past 10 years has been in the big data tv business. look so if we are going to forward a year or so, what can you tell us about the state of advertising? who is going to be affected and who is going to win? mark: i think ultimately, the consumer wins because the consumer is going to get more relevant advertising, both online as well as on television. and as you said, television is not going down without a fight. and television is now using data in order to do a better job of targeting and finding those right consumers that they are trying to advertise to. i think one of the biggest pieces of news that came out is the merger between, score and today and itt focuses on cross media measurement. you want to measure the effectiveness of your campaign. it is not just about what is
12:35 pm
online. it is really television come online and mobile. pimm: will it be more personalized advertising? will there be an ad that comes up and says, mark liberman, you are interested in x, y, z, and then they will serve you an ad designed specifically for you? answer is yes. that happens every day now on digital advertising. it is called retargeting using data. television is moving in that same direction. the top box data that exists now and the fact the you can combine that with other data sets, purchasing data sets that was done by a company called tra that was bought by tivo a couple of years ago, you have the ability to actually read target into advertising relevant ads. a little bit of a spookiness factor when you're watching the big screen when it says, pimm, you should by this dog food. but it's not going to happen overnight. pimm: are the television
12:36 pm
broadcasters offering these kind of packages that mark is describing to make sure that people don't spend all their ad money on social or digital platforms? i was looking at the numbers. a climb of 3.5% in tv ads spent, but an increase of 17% with digital. jerry: right. magna global estimates that, in about a few years, there will be more money spent on digital advertising than on tv advertising. the tv networks are under pressure. their ratings are defining. so they are having -- are declining. so they are having to make a much better offer and really respond to the fact that advertisers are saying i would rather spend my money online where it's cheaper and i connection he reach the right person at the right time during -- time. pimm: we keep talking about it as television versus digital. but are people going to get programming on television on their iphones, their android devices come other tablets and
12:37 pm
so on? what's really the difference? much difference. it is a piece of glass. whether it is a eight screen, tablet or my smartphone, i will be watching that most engaging -- pimm: whatever you want to watch. mark: all of youtube viewing is equal to adult swim. pimm: all youtube viewing is equal to adult swim, which is the adult animated television network. mark: yeah. so television has most of the .vory -- the eyeballs the concern to the brand is whether they are advertising to the right person. discovering --pn espn, discovery and turner. data is the new creative. you need data to make sure that created and up -- and's up in front -- ends up in the right
12:38 pm
eyeballs. pimm: someone's got to pay for the content. what about sponsorships? , the back to milton berle texaco hour, things like that. will we see more of those kinds of sponsored programs? mark: it will start to brand where you have native advertising. what is native advertising? it is advertising but it looks like content. i think it is going to be sponsorship as well. you saw viacom actually shrink their commercial carriage amount from 18 minutes to 14 minutes because people were complaining about too many ads. so it is really going to be about that relevant advertising. you're not going to put down your eyeballs and not watch tv if it is a relevant ad here if i have a dog and it's a dog food ad, i may want to add. someone else may fast-forward through it. pimm: we should talk about the ad blocking technology coming out. that can't be good for this industry. thanks very much.
12:39 pm
now we've got some breaking news for you. m&t bank's purchase of hudson city bancorp has finally been approved by the federal reserve. the acquisition was first announced in august of 2012. it was the biggest pending u.s. rank merger. theirre is a look at how stocks are performing right now. shares of hudson city bancorp up about 5.5%. m&t bank, a gain of 22%. .2%.
12:42 pm
far. ramy: on this last trading day we ared quarter stocks, off our session highs. in fact, we are at our session lows today. still in the green though. the s&p is seeing its worse quickly drop since 2011. this despite the 1% rise today. still not enough to get it out there. the nasdaq is the biggest gainer, of 1.2%. but in the past three months, just looking at the global economy, i this, $11 trillion has been lost around the world. let's see how it goes into the fourth quarter. also, lessee how the s&p is doing in terms of sector performing. consumer discretionary is up by 1.5%, the biggest later. terrell's not too far behind. energy up by 1.3%. you will remember that energy has been the laggard recently with oil companies, for example, as well as equipment makers feeling the pinch.
12:43 pm
oil andking of commodities at least, let's check out what is happening with crude. crude right now had been getting a bump earlier, but right now we are seeing it a little bit in the negative. u.s. stockpiles rose by 3.9 million barrels, the slowest rise since november. today's movements not doing any left for oil. -- any lift for oil. over to gold now, that is now down to a two-week low, down by more than 1%. investors are pulling out of the safe haven as the fed has signaled a rate rise could come as soon as this year. over the past quarter, gold has fallen nearly 5%.
12:44 pm
this will be its fifth quarterly loss in a row. copper, the metal is advancing today. this is different from the narrative we have been talking about over the last week or so, talking about the slumping price because of the china economic slowdown. american sayanglo they are willing to reduce production at a giant mine in chile on the order of 30,000 metric tons. is now up. over to the dollar, that is also up by about half of a percent. climbing to a two-week-investors are piling in as the fed has signaled the rate rise and for the same reason investors are pulling out of gold. it doesn't give interest. staying with the markets,
12:45 pm
i want to turn to manufacturing. the data has been pretty ugly ahead of tomorrow's ice and national report. nationalow's ism report. so what does the manufacturing data tell us? numbershave two of the out this morning. we've got the chicago pmi, another one of these regional manufacturing surveys way worse than it petitions. and then another economic data point that nobody ever talks about. the milwaukee ism. it's the story we have been getting all month. regional surveys have all been bad and the call spreads, whether it is the energy slowdown, whether it is the global strong down -- pimm: a strong u.s. dollar. joe: that's the big one. tomorrow, we get the ism national report. hard to imagine that it could be
12:46 pm
good with the sorts of numbers leading into it. pimm: 50 is the number that everyone has to watch. above 50 means things are doing pretty well. things are expanding. below 50, not so good. that is 50 were below, what does that tell you the federal reserve will do with interest rates? with theoesn't help decline in the manufacturing sector. but it is the key decider. manufacturing has shrunk as its share of the u.s. economy. services are a much more important part of the u.s. economy. and the service ism has been consistently stronger than the manufacturing line. so you don't want to see week numbers on manufacturing. on the flipside, you do not want to put too much weight on it because everyone knows it is not as significant. the federal reserve has never raised interest rates with the ism below 50.
12:47 pm
joe: yeah, well, people have the fednting out that has never raise rates with the volatility where it is. i don't think it would preclude a rate rise. i think of all the other data points were strong. consumer were strong. i don't think a sub 50 ism would necessarily be a deal killer. but it would have to be factored in. pimm: if we take a look at the lookomorrow and we have to forward to friday for the jobs report. joe: that is the big day. the jobs report, said timber data, this comes well after the volatility started. -- september data, this comes well after the volatility started. not particularly considered a predictor month-to-month and we get the initial claims, which have been very low, no signs of an uptick. pimm: anything below 300,000?
12:48 pm

against a bio weapons attack. anif there is ever ,pocalyptic scenario some time hypothetically -- [laughter] you just press the bio weapons defense mode button. this is a real button. [laughter] we are trying to be the leader s. apocalyptic scenario eventbetty liu was at the in fremont, california. she joins us now with another auto expert, andrew collins. is a: that's right, that
12:52 pm
way that elon musk is a little different than the rest of us. he things a little differently and designs a little differently. you saw that in the model x, which i got to test drive as well as andrew. i know you are at the event along with me. you also got to test drive the model x. blog.your review on your you seemed to really like the suv. a lot of people did. it was a lot of excitement last night. but i am looking at the stock. it is down on a day when the rest of the markets are up. what you think gives? do think some people might have been disappointed? andrew: maybe not so much disappointment as trepidation. it is a whole new vehicle. it's got a lot of moving parts, things that you on has to work out in terms of manufacturing. he said, if you place an order today, you will not get a model x for eight to 12 months. that might make buyers an easy.
12:53 pm
[laughter] betty: that's true. that is a long time to wait for a vehicle. it.t to floor the speed is amazing. the panoramic windshield. what did you like the most out of it? andrew: the interior was absolutely spectacular, but plenty of automakers are making a beautifully, luxurious car cabins now. what blows me away about tesla's stuff is the display. the screen in the center console, it's -- just beautiful, really chris design and really lovely to look at. they are really leaving everybody else in the dust on that. it will be interesting to see if that starts to permeate in the rest of the market. they death don't have a future for me. betty: it was a really cool feature. i do think the rest of the automakers will respond to this? theew: the rest of
12:54 pm
automakers generally have to make things into larger quantities and they try to charge a little less generally. not sure if they will be in any huge rush to match that. it will be interesting to see. and it will be interesting to see how popular the model x really gets. betty: it will be. we only saw six delivered yesterday, even though they said there are 23,000 orders in the pipeline. musk mentioned yesterday one target market is women. many expect that there will be half and half women to men buyers of model x. whereas right now for the model s sedan, it is 70% men and 30% women. do you think it will have an appeal to the female driver? andrew: the stereotype is that the women are driving the family around more often. the model x is good for that. did a goodrs and it
12:55 pm
job of sliding into tight spaces. as a family transport, it is an extremely practical machine. so, yeah, i would say it is extremely popular with people shuttling their youngsters around. betty: another concern about soccer moms transporting kids is safety. photos ofthose impact, side impact that were so different between the model x and other suvs. why is it so safe? how does he make them so safe? andrew: that was huge news, especially because of those doors that raise up over the top. definitely a concern about what happens when you roll over. -- engineers have assuring have been assuring us that there are enough hinges in there that you would be able to get out. but my favorite line i heard last night is you can roll it a few times or drive it off a cliff, but it is pretty much always going to land on its feet. the tesla engineers are
12:56 pm
confident that this will be doing well avoiding accidents in the first place. that is the most enticing safety feature for your average consumer. betty: i agree. you can't undersell that point. that is a huge matter for consumers. inc. is so much. -- thanks so much. betty liu speaking with andrew collins on the new model x from tesla. we are going to hear from mario draghi. find out what he is going to do to stimulate europe's economy. details coming up next. . .
12:59 pm
1:00 pm
stocks rise as the and of the worst quarter in four years. we will look at what is ahead for the markets. pimm: the euro area inflation rate turns negative as the european central bank president, mario draghi, considers more stimulus measures. passes a. senate spending bill just hours before the deadline for a government shutdown. now it is up to the house of representatives to vote for the deadline at midnight. pimm: good afternoon. i'm pimm fox. mark: julie hyman is in the newsroom with a look at the markets right now. we have a market rallying, rebounding from five session losses, but nonetheless we are seeing stocks give up their gains to some extent, paring the gains we saw earlier in the session.
1:01 pm
take a look at the dow on an intraday basis. considerablyere up more and now we are up 108 points. you can see the germanic leg downward we have taken her out the session. -- the dramatic leg downward we have seen throughout the session. certainly bouncing around between gains and losses. take a look at my bloomberg terminal to see what is working -- financials are the worst performing group with consumer staples not far behind. armore some jinx in the of the rally starting to creep in. been talkinge about biotech this week. have they finally broken the losing streak? it seems asave and though the rally is in place.
1:02 pm
if you look at the index, it has fallen for eight straight sessions. still up 2% and its pattern follows that of the rest of the market. from the highs in midmorning and coming down to some extent. right now, it looks like the losing streak is broken but it is not set in stone until the closing bell. as watching the dollar today well as the euro. there's speculation about increased quantitative easing in europe that had been putting some pressure on the dollar versus the euro. take a look at the 10 year. adpot this morning's employment report showing a gain of 200,000 jobs in the private sector this month and we got the with aent report coming forecast showing gains of 200,000 in jobs. you can see here a similar
1:03 pm
trajectory, a tick up in the bond yields earlier today, and now they are coming down to some extent. a similar trajectory for the bond market. earlier, people had been buying stocks strongly and selling treasuries but that seems to be moderating to some extent. pimm: we are getting a lot of information about the state of economy in europe. turn negative, putting pressure on the central bank to boost stimulus measures. christine lagarde says she sees a slowdown ahead. lagarde: global growth will likely be weaker this year than last, with only a modest acceleration expected in 2016. pimm: joining us from dartmouth college is a former member of
1:04 pm
the tank of england monetary policy committee. what is your take on christine lagarde's comments on slower growth? danny: i think she's probably right. the boys at citibank think the world economy is going into global recession. there looks to be evidence of in the european area, inflation has gone negative again, that suggestion is worrying. but there, it was .1, were 11 european companies plus switzerland already in deflation, so that list is going to grow. it looks like maybe we are at a turning point down again. are we still seeing high debt levels from the 2008 crisis having a lingering effect on the euro area?
1:05 pm
david: we are. we are seeing the area propped up by stimulus and tight fiscal policy. has not come full force yet. we are still seeing huge levels of unemployment, huge levels of use unemployment and these countries apart from germany are struggling to improve. europeans going into deflation but french unemployment rising and rising in some other countries. this is the remnants of 2008 and these economies have not rebalanced and come out of that desperate crisis. spain and greece particularly look like they are in a great depression. next?what happens what can mario draghi effectively do? : i think it's almost inevitable -- he said we are going to do whatever is necessary.
1:06 pm
said they would do a round of quantitative easing. my suspicion is he's going to talk about doing more and trying to weaken the euro against the dollar. but the implications for the fed are if you are trying to weaken the euro against the dollar, that means the dollar strength we have seen today has an impact on output. i suspect that lowers even further the chance of a rate rise in 2015 that you know i don't think is going to happen. pimm: is it possible that quantitative easing doesn't work ? is there any empirical evidence that these efforts have the long-term effects that people want? david: it's hard to separate out the effect of quantitative easing from low interest rates. let's think of them as monetary stimulus. studies by central banks around the world have suggested they really have worked. if you look back, and i recall
1:07 pm
and interview ben bernanke did on "60 minutes" and they asked what do you think unemployment would have been if the fed had not acted? he said 25% unemployment. the question is what is the counterfactual? the system propped up by stimulus. the concern is perhaps quantitative easing of the particular form it has been and has not been that effective but we might hear going forward that the central bank, the bank of england, the ecb might be thinking of different kinds of quantitative easing. mark: miss lagarde called india a bright spot for the global economy. what are they doing in india that the world might take notice of and try to emulate? david: i'm not a next bird on india. they have cut interest rates recently and they have a high-quality central bank governor who was at the imf.
1:08 pm
i guess they have not been so tied to commodity prices and the commodity markets, but there are not many bright spots around the world. let's suppose you were to ask about brazil or other places -- there are one or two other bright spots but if you look at -- she said we are now in the new mediocre. not the new normal, the new mediocre. there will be bright spots, but it's hard to see many. there are a lot of countries that are lagging. remember, we are seven years into this great recession. ofm: you talk about the lack bright spots but hasn't it changed to the point where things that are considered luxuries are considered utilities. and as a result, the reference point keeps changing. david: i think that's right. all of these apple
1:09 pm

1:15 pm
companies. itss picking up some of rivals along with it today. western digital and seagate getting a bump up. we are also watching airline stocks after a call from goldman sachs. american airlines is trading lower, rating a neutral, basically a relative call. goldman likes the rest of the airlines and thinks their long-term earnings power is being underestimated. it just does not like american quite as much. the others are trading better. at of these are by rated goldman. mark: oil and gold are down today. how about copper? julie: it has been a rough three months. i want to look at copper and gold -- we see copper rebound
1:16 pm
today. we saw china takes a measures overnight to improve its economy , including cutting taxes on copper's sales, so rebound is tied to that. freeport-mcmoran seems to be rising on comments from carl icahn where he said he would be involved with the company. he will be playing by his activist playbook, so to speak. when you look at freeport-mcmoran, we are talking about bouncing off from very low levels. to date the quarter look -- even though copper is down sharply, not down nearly as much as freeport-mcmoran which has fallen a whopping 49% this quarter, far outpacing the losses we have seen in copper itself. mark: julie, thank you.

staying on commodities, oil is post to see the lowest quarterly average price since the start of 2009. climb,e inventories crude has plunged more than a quarter from its peak in june amidst speculation of an oil glut. pimm: joining us from the u.s. state department is the special envoy who is here in new york meeting with these global players. rate to have you with us. on the priceughts of oil in the future? i think we are in a new reality in the energy sector. i would be sitting in a different job with a better suit if i could predict the oil sector. down about 2.5% in natural gas today. are we in a glut in natural gas? guest: we are seeing we are in
1:18 pm
revolutionary times when it comes to the energy sector. we've moved away from the paradigms we have known in the past and we are testing where we are going in the future. if you look at natural gas, this is a great transition fuel as we look into the future and demand is going to start picking up in other markets around the world and we see more discoveries of gas and more democratization of gas sector. it's not one country or a small handful of countries that are controlling it. it's opening up and it's not only because of the supply but the technology has enabled gas to become a much more special commodity. you just used the term revolutionary. what is sparking the revolution? the reason i think it is revolutionary is it's not one thing happening in the energy sector. we see a number of things from renewables to oil to gas happening at the same time. a tremendous shift in the demand

side. instead of the ocd driving the demand, the non-ocd countries are driving demand. on the supply side, we see oilomers on both sides of and gas. it's no longer opec plus a couple. mark: are there some countries who refuse to rip up the old playbook and understand we have a new paradigm now? amos: i think that may have been true about a year ago at the beginning of the decline in oil prices. but now everyone understands we are in a different place. prices may be set on market value versus political ones, not the geopolitics is out of energy. pimm: what is the role of the special envoy at the state department? recognizedwe have over the last several years is that energy is playing a greater and greater role in foreign policy, whether we like it or not. pimm: that has been true since
1:20 pm
winston churchill went from coal-fired boilers in navy ships to using crude oil. amos: i never said the government acts on time. we recognize that early in this administration that we need to change the paradigm and have a seat at the national security table of people who understand both the market site and what this means. look at what is happening around the world -- natural gas is used as a tool of coercion in central europe and eastern europe by russia. we have elements where energy is playing a critical role in foreign policy decision-making. our opec nations serious about investing in renewables? amos: i think so. i think it's slow. uae has been a leader but saudi arabia has a very ambitious target. whether the target is achievable is not for me to judge. the important piece is the focus is there.
1:21 pm
countries understand if they want to continue doing what they are doing, they need to have diversification. mark: who is our number one partner in that? amos: we want to partner with everyone we can because we believe diversification into renewables for all of the opec countries is in their best interest and hours. oilike to see that as our orders. some are ahead of the curve more than others. pimm: thank you very much. the special envoy for the bureau of energy resources at the state department. coming up, he's one of the most storied mergers and acquisitions artists of all time and he's going to have a startup hoping to find success in the public markets. ♪

attempting to avoid a government shutdown. you were among a group of freshmen lawmakers on the republican side urged their colleagues not to shut down the federal government. why? : shutting down the federal government cost us a lot of money. now is not the time to take a stand to shut down the government and i don't think we will. mark: there was a closed door meetings -- closed her meeting with republicans yesterday and one of the words used to describe the meeting was cathartic. can you describe what went on in that meeting? ms. walters: i was sitting in on the meeting and our conferences facing some challenges. togave everyone a chance tell us what is on their mind and how we want to move forward. there wasn't excellent meeting and a lot of voices were heard. i think was very positive and a step in the right direction as we move forward. mark: if we might circle back to
1:35 pm
what appears to be for now a vote that would prevent a government shutdown, when the conversation was beginning about this tactic to shut down the government, one of the things the gop leadership insisted upon was that there be some way to defund planned parenthood. what were your thoughts on that and what were the your constituents telling you about that? walters: we need to look at planned parenthood, especially in light of the videos that have been released. there has been concern in our conference that we don't continue to fund planned parenthood. while i support that, the bigger question is biased shutting down the government on this particular issue, it would end up costing us a lot more money to shut the government down and many in the pro-life movement believe taking a stand on the funding planned parenthood right
1:36 pm
now, costing the government to shut down would take the pro-life movement a couple of steps backward. we were trying to be in line with the pro-life movement and say we want to move forward on this issue, but this is not the way to do it. you and some of the lawmakers, especially on the republican side that. shutting down the government was not a good idea, that the republican majority in the house and senate might take a hit in the polls and the electorate if this happened -- and most polls indicate the last time this happened that is what the electorate did. youyou give us a sense that believe your views are being heard -- are you getting enough respect from the republican conference even if you disagree with the majority? ms. walters: absolutely we are. we want to advance the cause of the pro-life movement, but there

a congressman mccarthy's statement that one of the reasons for the committee was not to get to the truth, that it was possibly to affect mrs. clinton and hurt her politically. : i believe we have these hearings for a reason and the reason is to get to the truth. policy and politics go hand in hand. when you are going to have these hearings and they are being uncovered, if someone is running for office, it might hurt them if they are involved in it. mark: i have to ask because i mentioned at the beginning that you are a freshman lawmaker. can you tell us what the most frustrating part of your job has been? i assume all freshmen go to washington because they want to be part of some positive change, given the partisan atmosphere, is that the most disappointing part of this for you? the --lters: i came from

1:41 pm
1:42 pm
but i want to talk about how the quarter has been, not only for stocks but other asset classes. -- at thek at the s s&p 500, we're having the worst quarter since 2011. what has led us there is pretty obvious -- energy and materials are the worst to performing groups, both of them down nearly 20%. health care also lower with the big decline we've seen in biotech stocks. utilities are the best performers as we've seen a pullback in rates. mark: energy and material stocks were pushed down by commodity prices. how bad was the commodity performance question mark julie: we have some superlatives to mention when it comes to commodities. gold having its longest run of quarterly losses since 98-99. oil having its worst order with that 21% drop and copper also very weak, its worst quarter in
1:43 pm
about four years. i was curious to look at the dollar. if you look at the dollar versus a basket of currencies, you have a gain of about .8%. not huge movement but holding up relatively well. even as we saw yields fall during the month. the 10 year had its biggest advance in price and its biggest pullback in yield. points in theasis yield during the quarter. all of this as we were still hearing from federal reserve officials that they see a rate rise likely before the end of the year. this trade shows that market participants do not it. mark: julie, thank you. glencore is looking to raise more than a billion dollars by selling its future production of gold and silver. the beleaguered mining company is hoping to have a criticism over its $30 billion debt load.

1:45 pm
would you want to issue more stocks? they have to turn to these alternative measures like try to sell part of their agriculture business and shutting some minds. this is just another aspect of that. mark: even with the debt load, glencore is insisting we don't have any solvency issues. how can this be? alix: i don't know how many ceos who are going to come out and say our stock got hit that and i'm going to tell you how bad it is. there are options they can do and let's take this royalty example. youer you do two things -- get a huge chunk of change from the royalty company and then you give them a percentage of their production going forward or you get money up front and sell production at a fixed rice going forward.
1:46 pm
that could be something that comes across but how bad could it get? may bee citigroup say glencore should consider going private because it is getting so ugly in the public market. mark: even if it plays out the way they think it is going to play out, they are still going to have a mountain of debt. they if you look at how credit default swaps are trading, it is ugly. there's a 50% chance they will default over the next five years. that is pretty ugly. some of the debt a have issued is aso falling, so this problem in general with commodity companies. they over levered because rates were so low and the commodity super cycle was in full bloom, so why not are a cheap cost? when prices burst, that is when it comes home to roost. that is what we see with small
1:47 pm
amt players when it comes to oil. mark: and it got so bad this month that they suspended it in payments. alix: for these kind of companies, i'm thinking about digg oil. you own glencore for something different, but a dividend is a big deal. if exxon cut their dividend, that would be awful. you want to own that for their dividend. but you are going to own for their actual cash flow. the idea is where are they going to earn their money and what are they going to use it for? basically you are going to use all your money to pay off your debt. that is the concern glencore find health and because they are so over levered and those service payments are coming due. still ahead on the bloomberg market day, madison set to spin off

that company. they are trying to get all their ducks in a row. go towill the folks who the garden notice any difference because of this? will this effect attendance? course, cablevision spun off madison square garden in 2010. but there will still be a relationship between these companies. they were very clear in their prospectus to say they will still carry the next and the rangers. if you are watching games on tv, you will probably we not know the difference. mark: why didn't this happen to her three years ago? david: the timing seems more right now than for them to back down. mark: let's go to the breaking news desk. julie, it is on twitter. julie: it is being reported that jack dorsey will be named the prominent ceo. this is just a report we have not confirmed.
