from bloomberg world headquarters in new york, i am betty liu. here is what we are watching right now. shares of alibaba are searching the most in five months. the company has to find a slowdown in china's economy. shares have climbed by over 30%. closeors are playing attention to the sales of the new iphone, they will get a preview of what to expect. and behind-the-scenes drama has led to a budget deal in washington last night. a lot happening this morning. we also have breaking news out of moments ago on how american consumers are feeling. i want to head to the markets desk where julie hyman has more. julie: we're just coming out from the conference port, that

number is falling more than expected, coming in at 97.6, the estimates was 102.9. and the prior one is also being estimated lower. it has come down in the last month, reflecting what we saw in august in terms of the august selloff. let's check what is going on with markets to see if there is any reaction. all three of them are doing -- we have a lot of earnings out today. [laughter] anyway, let's take a look at the bloomberg terminal to see what is doing the best and worst. we have a lot of earnings out today but energy is really the big drag. that has to do with energy prices.

big stocks like exxon mobil and chevron are pulling back because of oil and natural gas tumbling today. oil fell to a two-month low. we are seeing natural gas trading below two dollars for the first time since april 2012. in both of these cases, it is still a question of the glut that we are seeing in those. we talk more about this with oil, but it is happening with natural gas as well. shale has something to do with both of them. betty: but there is not a tumble with alibaba earnings. julie: definitely not. alibaba, thet shares are soaring. they are said to have their best month since they went public. out withny is coming earnings that did better than estimated because people were looking at the chinese economy and not expecting much. but

through partnerships it had, when we looked at my imap -- health. the largest performing group, pfizer and bristol-myers squibb are both out with earnings that beat estimates. both of them are raising their forecast for the year. bristol-myers is raising the forecast for the third time this year. so much tok you julie hyman with the reaction in consumer confidence numbers. let's check in on the first word news with vonnie quinn. vonnie: thank you so much. we start with a new poll and a warning. -- european neighbors don't solve the crisis. more than 80,000 people have entered in the last 10 days.

private security guards are being hired to help police. meanwhile, the european union is stepping up talks with the u.s. over a data agreement. gave u.s. access to private details, but once it traveling tors are rescue survivors because of the earthquake in afghanistan and pakistan. the death toll is at 339. border is a long pakistan and china. new insights today in a hospital in the u.s.troyed airstrike. a green beret officer said that he thought that the taliban and had control of the hospital. but doctors without borders say they told the u.s. that there were no insurgents in the clinic.

30 people died in that attack. china is denouncing the u.s. for sailing a warship into their waters. south china sea but the u.s. does not recognize these as a territory. the philippines have competing claims for the island chain. news rightook at the now, you can always find the latest news on bloomberg.com. betty: that was vonnie quinn. we just saw consumer confidence numbers dropping this month. how are america's feeling about owning? home prices continue to rise. index is climbing at an annual rate of nearly 5.1%. that is the biggest jump in a year. -- told us yesterday that the outlook for the housing is positive. ok, that is what he said

yesterday. in the meantime is the cocreator of the s&p schiller index, robert shiller of yale university. prices,rprised at home we had a huge august drought in the market. people were wondering, oh my goodness. rbc and other crash? so were you surprised by that? not surprised, because we are reporting the august numbers at the end of the summer seasonal. normally, home prices are week in the fall, so if you look at seasonally adjusted numbers, they are flat. up 1/10 of 1%. so seasonally, that does make sense to you. at the do we look for end of the year? in the next three months? robert: it is difficult.

the indicators seem to be pointing every which way. we just saw confidence falling today. betty: we saw new-home sales yesterday down to a 10 month low. robert: yeah. i used to forecast formally. one thing that i have noticed is that the -- over the last six months to the year matters. a year ago, our home prices were going up every 10% rate. now they are at a 5% rate. because this is not the stock market, this is the housing market. that shows there could be a decline in home prices over the next year or two. betty: what is behind that? robert: i think psychology. [laughter] the fed is about to raise rates and that is affecting it.

do this year is not going to have a big effect but the public is very focused on that. unnaturalng with terms at 0% interest rates. sayy: i've heard people that ahead of a rate increase, that might encourage people to go out and finally refinance or go out and finally by the home. he does this may be there last chance to buy a home with ultralow interest rates. why isn't that working? robert: i think it did work really well in 2012. during one of those qe events when mortgage rates hit a record low, just over 3%. and that did give a housing --m, but now, interest rates you might be right. i don't know. [laughter]

you have to talk to ordinary homebuyers and see what they are thinking about. betty: ok, so let's just say that we get softer prices not just through housing but still doesn't like it is picking up, gdp numbers are likely to come in very low. does that mean that the fed is still going to raise rates in december? robert: probably not. we are in a puzzling economy. it has been going on for 7-8 years. this week economy and it is worldwide. malaise.be a long-term i think that right now, people -- there is a fundamental long-term -- that is going on. in terms of technological

unemployment as computers replace jobs, it is creating a sense of anxiety. hold back further recovery in the economy. it might keep prices high. investing in long-term assets becomes a lost hope that people have to reassure themselves. betty: speaking about anxiety, we have a great report out today on bloomberg about the statistics about right now, we have six million people in america who are working part time. so this is an incredible number. and might that be a number that and useslen look set as a justification to hold off on raising rates? i know janet yellen, she is a very caring person. she is not a numbers person, although she is good at numbers as well. so you are right, there is a

malaise. there are also a lot of people who say they are tired and they couldn't get back into the labor force even if they wanted to. that is a big concern right now and i think that might incline her and others to keep rates low for a lot longer. we don't know how much longer. other countries have a raise rates and had to cut them back. fact, shew, and in will possibly be raising rates in december. arethat will be when they adding more stimulus. so that will push us even more in the opposite direction if it pans out that the fed raises rates in december. so bottom line, do you believe they will do this by the end of this year? what is your forecast? robert: it is not going to be until next year and we may get bad news that delays it even another year or more. i don't know. but right now, it looks a little

iffy. that was robert shiller from yale university, thank you so much for joining me. we are going to stay on housing and we will speak with one of the biggest property players here. washington, john boehner is speaking right now on the budget -- that is not boehner, that is kevin mccarthy. aboutl be following up the late-night budget agreement that was forged. there is much more ahead in the next half hour of the bloomberg market day. a slowing shaking off chinese economy. investors are celebrating. we will have much more in a moment. ♪

it is still the majority of their business. betty: we had daniel zhang on the conference call, can we play what he said about china? when you have a chinese economy that is only 37% penetrated in terms of moremption relative to developed countries, you are looking at over 60% of the company that is consumption. so there is a secular tailwind driving consumption growth. ok, that was joseph tsai, the vice-chairman of alibaba. can they just continue to grow at this pace in china alone? absolutely. there is very little penetration into the rural areas. there are thousands and thousands of villages that are through thed

alibaba platform. that is where they are targeting. betty: we will be talking about that all day long. take you so much for joining us. turning now to the budget and the budget battle. or maybe it is not a battle anymore. you're looking at a live picture right now, that is john boehner saying that this is a good deal for the economy, but how could it affect who will succeed next. we will talk about that latest on the budget battle. ♪

speaker, paul ryan. so that is what he is saying right now. thiser, u.s. lawmakers -- ascension of the debt ceiling. it turns out there are plenty of reasons for the jitters with the debt ceiling. mattingly joins us now from washington with more. so is this good news? have we averted -- have we averted a government shutdown? is obviously a huge wild card and that is the people who are technically following john boehner haven't decided to vote for this. staffat the white house and the senate and house staff were able to agree to should take all of the major crises off the table over the next couple of months. that is very good news for paul ryan. the 2011ok back to debt ceiling crisis and the 2013 crisis, the accountability

office said that $1.3 billion were taken on by the treasury department in 2011. in 2013, use our rates skyrocket. so real market impact because of these crisis in the past. , and by allhrough accounts, it is on that pass, that is a big deal not just for the next speaker, but also for the participants. betty: how are they going to pay for this? phil: they are going to look at the strategic petroleum reserve. the u.s. has hundreds of of oilds of barrels reserve. they will be selling this off. in the near term, this is not a good idea, but there will be changes to social security and to medicare as well. the big issue here is that not only is the debt ceiling off the table, but because the spending levels being set for the next two years, the government

will that change at all when the fed changes rates? the feds that went in, you see them pull back a little bit when they think the treasury bill might go up. folks that went into private equity, many are looking at the store of wealth, a protection against downsized, so those returns could be much greater. there is no question in my mind people make a decision every minute, reducing their exposure to publicly traded stocks, and folks who have money to put work private equity, is like a tube of toothpaste. the only differences there is a sell by date, and use by date, and you're never putting that toothpaste back diane. betty: you are publicly traded, right? we are publicly traded, but from our perspective, we are at one of the lowest levels of

the mylan takeover is bad at any price? we think this deal significantly undervalues the long-term values for the company. is a bad deal. i do not want to speculate on any individual price other than the deal on the table today. reporter: there are three scenarios, right? from 50hey shipped percent, deal off, 20%, extended, 80%-plus, deal. what happens if we go from 50% to 80%, what will happen the morning of november the 14th? me start saying first and foremost the most likely outcome for this is this deal will not -- will be rejected by the shareholders and will not get to 50%. having said that, i think it

will be rather chaotic. mylan would still need to run the company. all of those things would still have to happen. i think it would be very chaotic and for that reason, we think it would be more difficult to synergies and the right answer is to reject this and not get 50%. meanwhile, as this has been going on, have you been holding talks with other parties being bought? the onset of this i did receive some calls in april regarding activities. but we believe that this is a bad deal. a badecause mylan put deal, we do not believe we are on a shot clock to get in answer soon. we will do what is right for

shareholders. we did for additional transaction since april. admittedly smaller transactions, but once we decouple on november 13, we think there is a chance to go out and do what we have done in the past, and in the 27t years, we have done transactions where we have continued to grow our business 920% total time, shareholder return. joey: that was perrigo ceo papa there. -- ones on apples as apple as a gets ready to report its earnings. it all comes down to the sale of one product and one country. guess again. next. ♪

time and time again. the alibaba results though. clearly people are buying in china. john: that is the big question. is this all much a do -- much g do about nothing here? betty: or is there some worry for next year? john: it's all about the outlook. that brings us to the next point, which is how are the new products doing? if you are going to sidestep the transition issues everybody is worried about -- if iphone which has been rising rapidly over the years suddenly plateaus, you have new products that can come in and take over the slack? betty: how is apple doing with product transition? john: i think apple has the right set of products. i do not think they can pick up any meaningful slack and iphone sales. apple, seen before with

these products can ramp quite quickly under the right conditions. betty: exactly. you hit the right time. the ipad. apple pay comes of age, apple music, apple tv, a lot is going on. about we have heard semi-and the problems they are having. does that signal a bit of a problem with phone sales in general? john: it could. these players are the canary in the coal mine for the tech companies a lot of times. people watch these closely. they make chips for the ipad and the iphone, and apple has a lot of different suppliers. they may have just switched suppliers. there's a lot of questions around whether or not to worry about that. i think we will find out more tonight. we will get more

cancer and a lot of other soft tissue cancers. they did about $160 million in the quarter. they will do well over a billion dollars next year. betty: and acquisitions by mark? jeff: they have done some. i don't think they're going to do anything big though. i think it will be smaller acquisitions to bolster the pipeline and it will keep increasing the dividends and buying back stock. betty: gilead will be reporting after the bell today. what do you think? jeff: i think they will have a great quarter. we saw bristol-myers has a great number for hepatitis the and those drugs are usually paired together. that bodes well for them. i think all eyes for gilead are on acquisition. they publicly said they are out there. they are just going to be patient and look for something that is the right fit. betty: anything on abbvie and what the fb it -- what the fda

found? jeff: there was that safety warning. patients who already have liver cirrhosis should not use the abbvie drug. a small percentage of patients already in the late stage of the disease. that it has a reputational impact on it. i think that gilead will be the leader for a long time to come. betty: jeff, do you feel like the fda is getting more aggressive question mark it seems like there have been more warnings. would actually argue the other way. 10 years ago, there were a lot of scandals. the fda was very strict and very tight after that. but now that we have gone 10 years since that, i think that they are listening up and have created pathways for accelerated newoval and the number of drug launches has come back to a new high. i think it's a very friendly fda right now. jeff, great tot,

businessthe bloomberg flash. real estate not slowing down. home prices in 20 u.s. cities rose faster than in august. prices were up 5.1%, the biggest increase in a year. as you heard from robert schiller earlier, there are warning signs in the housing market. also, americans are not as optimistic about the economy. indexnsumer confidence fell in october. however, the number is higher than the average during expansion. and t-mobile paying the high price of user growth. the wireless carrier reported earnings that missed estimates. than oneed more million new subscribers, but that also put pressure on the bottom line. coming up in the bloomberg market day, the ceo of t-mobile, atn legere is joining us noon eastern time.

you can always get more news at bloomberg.com. let's go to julie hyman to check another company movers. julie: rabble not doing so well today. the company reported an increase in active diners, but the daily average fell, although they did rising year-over-year. the company projection for fourth-quarter revenue and eva. below estimates as well. they are off 20% as well. if you look at my bloomberg terminal, you will see what the last year and a half has been priced $26. the ipo you have seen it already far -- fall below it. it looks like it is going below once again today. it is trading right around that 20 dollar mark. also, we are watching consol energy. the coal and natural gas producer.

the loss of much wider than next debate -- then estimated. $.28. the estimate was three cents. trading sharply lower by about 12%. and of course coming's, as well, the engine maker. sales internationally were week in latin america. shares down 9%. here in the u.s., sales looks as a resultcummins of that will be cutting costs -- cutting jobs to cut costs. if you look at my bloomberg terminal, there is a function where you can track the job losses for a company overtime. this goes all the way back to 2007 for the company. as you can see, the little circles here delineate these job losses. cut have not had a job

program since late 2012. it has been a couple years since they seen the need to cut jobs, and the fact that it is doing it, sometimes you get job cuts and investors are happy about it or they think that is the correct move to make, but in this case, it looks like the earnings news -- betty: that is a cool function. julie: matt used it earlier. he turned me onto that. full of terminal functions. julie hyman at the markets desk. alibaba reported a 30% rise in revenue, thanks to ad spending. they are growing in mobile acording to the ceo on conference call today. >> the mobile transition has deeply changed people's consumption patterns. -- a lot ofld say

inple will enjoy shopping the middle of the night when singles they has started. betty: singles day is coming up. i want to introduce cory johnson from san francisco -- is comingles day up? betty: i knew that you were going to ride on me that -- rag on me for that. alibaba, though it is a big company doing $22 billion -- it is a big company, but is growing really fast. sales were 32% year-over-year and that kind of pace of growth, you can see it is really disconnected to whatever is going on in the chinese markets or the chinese economy, because there is this rapid move, the .ind behind alibaba

forgetting their international notions of expansion. this is happening in china. so many more people online, of course, embracing mobile, as they mention, as if desktop was ever a factor in china. it wasn't. they are working on mobile and getting commerce to happen in mobile. it's really their game to lose. in china that is a rapid growth story. it is a changing demographic, regardless of the slowest gdp growth in 25 years. betty: we are looking at alibaba's share price. it is awfully high so far this morning, so can you interpret anything in that? it was a huge jump right at the open and now it's coming off. cory: if you look more carefully at the earnings, the revenue growth, i think, is the thing to pay attention to. mind you, i am not forgetting companies that don't make money. separatelyve a company.traded

they recognize that in the core. they give the actual earnings as net income and the earnings-per-share a huge boost and i think that have my number grabbed attention before people took the time to actually, god for bid, took the time to read the press release. over $20you're doing billion, 33% year-over-year sales growth is nothing to sneeze at. impressive indeed area -- impressive indeed. betty: cory johnson, thank you so much. i had on the bloomberg market -- ford third-quarter results. we have an inside look at the automaker. ♪

betty: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. fourth-quarter earnings are on a roll. detroit where in he is speaking with ford's

chairman bob shanks, who is in detroit. sadly, i am not in detroit, but bob is in detroit. thanks for joining us. let me ask you about the miss on the bottom line. your pretax profit was a lot better than analysts forecast. was it just the tax rate that analysts did not calculated correctly? guest: let's talk about the estimate. we blew through the estimate on the top side and in terms of cash flow, we blew through that is well. on operating pretax, we were spot on and there was a tax rate difference of one percentage point. we guided originally at 30%, and we came in at 33% and the it 32%. were that is the difference of the penny. but overall, we outperformed ends we nailed it. i'm just curious.

we had 45 and a half cents in our survey. shares are off three or 4% today. what do you think is driving the stoploss? you think ist do driving the stoploss? alix: i think there -- guest: i think there is a game about whether you beat or not. revenue was far, far stronger. our net income was up 129%. we grew share. volume is up rid revenue up. strong performance. i think over time, once we get and -- did they beat or not people understand the quality of the performance we delivered, the value will be recognized by the market. well, i think we understand profitability is strong, average transaction prices are big, margins obviously are a model for the industry.

adam jonas, a well-respected analyst over at morgan stanley, though says it is time to get out. he does not think that this kind of profit is sustainable. what you think about that? guest: i think we have quite a bit of room in front of us in the u.s. market in particular. there is no sign from any of the leading indicators we will see any type of slowdown in the momentum ofovery or the u.s.. there is still a lot to go in terms of how we will support stronger sales of our pickups and we have opportunities to opportunity -- with opportunities to improve business outside of america. value willhe continue to be created and the stock price appreciates. matt: i put up a chart yesterday . the average age of a car on the road is 11 and a half years. all busily credit is easy right now. you can get a loan pretty cheaply. you mentioned the

housing rebound is strong. do you think you can hit 20 million units this year? is that about what you're projecting for u.s.? for this year, we are making a call of 17.7 million units. that would be up about 5%. that includes medium heavy. there are three or four different reputable firms that think somewhere between 17, 18, and higher than that for the next two years out through 2020, which supports our view there's a lot more road ahead of us in terms of the recovery in the u.s. look let's shift gears a at europe. since i have been covering this industry, you guys have had touble over there, looking break even, get profitability. you say there is more to come. when? when are we going to see that? how profitable are you going to be there? the industry seems to be bouncing back quite well in your? guest: the industry has come

back quite well. we saw a reduction, a loss of about 60%. we saw topline growth, both in terms of volume and also revenue, as consumers were responding to our products, so we feel very positive about the track we are him. we think we are running way to profitability and we will talk about that in early 2016. matt: do you think 2016, for the full year, we can expect a profit out of europe? guest: i will let you know in a couple months. the: what you think about situation in asia? your results there were disappointing compared to some estimates on the street. at you are getting a lower amount out of a chinese jb. is that the only issue? what is going on in asia that is a problem? we have always performed

to expectations in america and the offset is the asia-pacific. in the second quarter, we knew we would have to the stop our dealers as we tried to keep up with the slowdown in the overall industry, and we did a relatively good job, but we had more to do, and we said we would do that in the third quarter and we did. that affected profits to the tune of about 130 million dollars. we also had a supplier constraint that probably reduced profits by $60 million. those two things are behind us and we are looking for what will probably be a record profit in the third quarter and that will be driven by china. your view on china is not as pessimistic as the markets.. you expect strong growth. can you put a number on that? are calling for an industry start at 24 million units, which is the high end of the range we provided a quarter

ago. the reason we are at the high end, the government has done a ,umber of stimulative things including a significant reduction in purchase taxes which will benefit about 70% of our lineup. we feel very positive about the impact on us is a company, but we do think it will give the industry and the fourth a bump. all right, bob, things for joining us. bob shanks, chief financial officer for the ford motor company out of detroit. betty. matt, thanks a much. a check on the bloomberg first word news this morning. courtney donohoe has more from our news desk recording? inrtney: rescue teams afghanistan and pakistan are trying to reach remote area struck high the earthquake. the death toll is likely to rise. was magnitude 7.5 centered in a mountainous region in afghanistan. tomorrow onll vote

it must be used wisely to do necessary structural reforms. do -- it is you your responsibility and focus are you worried or concerned that more stimulus in the eurozone could destabilize the european currency? once again, i must emphasize that the european commission is inspecting ecb's independence. targeting the not exchange rate, they are targeting inflation. currently come inflation is still substantially below ecb's target, which is inflation below 2%. that's why the ecb is using some monetary policy tools like one of debuts in. betty: absolutely. right at the start, you

mentioned it's up to the fiscal governments in the eurozone to step up and help along with what the ecb is doing. we've seen austerity and parts of the eurozone, we also know that many budgets are being exacerbated by the growing refugee crisis in europe. where do you see the budget rules or outlooks and whether that will be in conflict with what we are seeing from the central bank? first come on the european commission's macroeconomic policy priorities, how we see we can strengthen the recovery in the eu, is to stimulate investment, structural reform from eu member states, responsible fiscal policies. in regards to fiscal policies, growth in we expect

it has to be done at the european level. betty: greece has seen thousands of refugees come to its border. do you think that growing refugee crisis is going to derail the promises that greece has made on their budget in order to comply with their bailout? today, i had a number of discussions with greek authorities. there is a clear commitment from the greek government to deliver on its fiscal targets, to work intensively towards successful completion of the first view of the program. is raising questions of budgetary applications of the migrant crisis, because it's creating additional expenditure. we are looking at this and will be coming with proposals.
