stocks that it is on other asset classes. stocks have already begun to trend lower. not very steep declines across the board. we will get more into what is affecting stocks in just a moment. just to run through the other places where we are seeing in effect -- this is the fed funds futures probability. pricing in a 60% chance that we could see an increase in rates at the december meeting. it was 52% this morning before yellen began speaking. you can see the trajectory of the increase, changing expectations. this is reflected in what we are seeing across rates. the two year yield is the highest since april of 2011. 0.81% getting yet another basis point today. the 10 year also seeing an uptick in yields. the highest in seven weeks,

0.24%. we are seeing the dollar gain along with rates. touching its highs since april 15, up less than 1%. we definitely saw an uptick after we heard yellen maker comments about the life meeting. gold at its lowest in seven weeks. set to decline for a fifth straight day on this perception that we could see an increase in rates in december. david: i'm wondering about oil. julie: oil doesn't seem to be as affected by the ellen commentary, trading on the weekly oil inventories. we saw a build in inventories in the u.s. for the sixth week in a row. seeing a decline in oil prices of about 3%. affect onving an energy stocks. it is the worst-performing group today, pushing down chevron and on. there is the case of chesapeake energy, beating analyst estimates.

the company is writing down the value of its oil and gas assets. that write-down is bigger than the company's entire market cap. david: thank you very much. let's get a check of the headlines. rami: we start with violence on yet another college campus. officials at the university of california say five people were stabbed today before the suspect was shot and killed by police. all five victims were taken to a local hospital. the u.k. is suspending flights over sinai sing the russian jet crash may have been brought down by explosive device. egypt's islamic state group affiliate claims it down that plane. this because at the crash coincided with the anniversary of the groups pledge of allegiance to the islamic state group. the associated press could not in a finally verify that.

trump and donald democrat martin o'malley signed on the dotted line today to become the first wager presidential candidates to file for new hampshire's primary. they filled out the one page or men paid a $1000 filing fee. -- the one-page form. hitl obama's trip to jordan a snag when a sandstorm tablets guys -- clouded skies. she was set to fly to georgia from qatar where she met with u.s. troops. you can find the latest news on bloomberg.com. david: let's turn to janet yellen's latest remarks. the december rate hike is still on the table, but only if the economy stays on track. >> what the committee has been expecting is that the economy will continue to grow at a pace

that is sufficient to generate further improvements in the labor market and to return inflation toward our 2% target over the medium-term. if the incoming information supports that expectation, then our statement indicates that december would be a life possibility. we have made no decision about it. david: investors were paying attention to two other fed officials today. bill dudley holding a press briefing in half an hour and sam fisher speaks in washington later tonight joining me is the ceo of one of the world's largest global asset managers, joe sullivan of legg mason. use at a rate hike will not be the main event. just you said a rate hike will not be the main event. e: we look forward to a rate hike, look forward to getting back to normalized rates.

it will be good for our business come introduce some risk back into the market and allow more are managers who tend to be active and high active share managers to be able to differentiate. when you have this extended peri od of low rates, everything is correlated. it is hard to this thing with between asset classes. we look forward to rates moving toward a more normalized state. david: how difficult has it in and how long do you see this persisting? >> it has been challenging for the last couple of orders. i'm speaking to the retail investor. the volatility has them a bit. -- spooked them a bit. there has been questions around valuations and equities, questions around economic growth

globally, differentials between from, europe, u.s. uncertainty around timing of rate hikes and things like that. none of that is conducive to confidence on the part of the retail investor. they need to get used to that. we will see that volatility and choppiness in the markets. we will have to get used to it. david: sam druckenmiller said he is bearish on stocks. are you in the same camp? joe: i'm not. increasingly, as rates get normalized, you will get differentiation between high-quality companies and company's that have just simply been lifted by the rising tide . that is a good time for an active manager. everything has risen simultaneously. it has been pretty hard to differentiate and distinguish between good companies and bad companies. ofare going into a period

not terrific growth but consistent growth in the u.s. the best companies will distinguish themselves during that time. 8vid: you oversee constituent companies. -- youyour business intend to keep your chips and that going forward? joe: fixed income is an enormous market. a market we are excited to be in. there are some people who say you're in fixed income, rates will rise. are well positioned for a rising rate environment they manage credit, manage debt.eign type tha when you have an active manager, that can move across and make decisions on duration or credit quality.

they have more tools at their --posal, natalie to navigate not only to navigate a rising rates but to deliver alpha during that period. david: you've been trying to diversify the portfolio. tell us about the company just acquired a majority stake in. what happened was after our signing and before our close, we took advantage of the strengthening dollar and weakening quasi-dollar -- our purchase price in u.s. dollars lys inclining fair significantly. that's declining fairly significantly. we got lucky by virtue of the fact that the dollar worked our way. our purchase price just decline fairly significantly, let's lock that in.

we just got a nice game for our shareholders in terms of having an absolute u.s. dollar price that is lower. we locked that in through a hedge between that point of locking it in an quarter end, that hedge ran against us a bit. we locked in a much more significant gain on the balance sheet. that hedge went against us a bit between the time we said it in end.quarter half of that hit was reversed. it was very for to witness on our part. that will be an important part of her acquisition strategy going forward. it keeps the partners and founders of the firm engaged not

only in the short run, but in the long-term value of the company. it is good to be aligned with shareholders now in that company, even though we are the vast majority shareholder, we are both shareholders. we are interested in tomorrow and also interested in years from now. david: the commodity landscape was much different than it is now. has the calculus changed a bit because of what's been happening with china? joe: not really. they are not as sensitive to commodities, they have a broad infrastructure capability. it is listed infrastructure. their mandates cover a variety of different strategies. they are not just impacted solely by commodities at all. we see it as a terrific add-on to solve the needs of our clients. our clients are looking for

higher-yielding assets, stable assets. another perfect company to our fixed income business, income equity business. responding to what is really a global panic for income. now theme has been in place for a few years, remains in place. whenever i travel in the u.s. and internationally come i'm hearing about income. that's a demographic issue and that will continue for some time. david: are there any things you would like to acquire? we've been fortunate and successful in filling in the traditional gaps. we acquired a non-us equity that investorsplatform, qs to fill in our multi-asset class highly customized solutions business.

now, we are morphing to a more alternative strategy. look at it and say it's a global equities strategy but it's really infrastructure based. somewhat of an alternate strategy. we would look now for something energy. we would look for something in private equity, something in real estate. those kinds of assets, it's important for us to be able to offer our investors institutional or retail breadth ofhe widest product out there in investment ability. the more diversified our clients are, that is the only free lunch , diversification. we are trying to diversify our capabilitiesoffer to our clients. david: joe sullivan, the ceo and chairman of legg mason.

transcanada wants is for some of the republican party to be in the white house. as you look forward, do you anticipate playing a bigger role in politics, giving money to candidates? >> no. that is a minor part of what we do. we work all over the world to take on the fossil fuel industry. we are very happy about the keystone news. we are just as focused on those and other fights like this and this burgeoning divestment movement. largest city in sweden decided to divest from fossil fuel. we are focused on the most court questions about the fossil fuel industry. emergingy now in this scandal around exxon.
