12:01 pm
it is veterans day, the bond market is closed, so lots of activity in the stock market. julie: it depends on which market you're looking at, but there is not much decisive activity when it comes to the big picture. today is not really a big macro driver, which means we have this drift going on. if you look at my bloomberg terminal, we have the push and pull going on. we saw stocks decline more, the internals in the market were showing a mixed picture. right now, industrial taking a top spot, utilities on a three-day increase, energies continuing their decline. consumer discretionary is also weak today. there is one stock i want to mention, one of the best for armors today in terms of the contribution it is making to the s&p 500. price target is being

raised to $800 from $750 at morgan stanley. the analyst at morgan stanley is saying it is all about the opportunity from amazon web services. he says it will contribute to 60% of their forward profitability driven by the accelerated adoption of the cloud by the public. alix: what about the brick and mortar stores? a totally different story. julie: and amazon says that it is not based on retail business. macy's is falling sharply today, the largest department store company with earnings that missed estimates, the company cutting their forecast as well. there is growing concern about the state of retail. but wey is macy's down have a steep drop for many retailers. kohl's earnings estimates were cut because of the warmer weather at jefferies. that was one of the reasons
12:03 pm
macy's cited for its shortfall. nordstrom, aers, lot of other retailers getting caught up in the selling today. scarlet: thank you, julie hyman. alix: now let's check in on the bloomberg first word news. mark crumpton has more. republican presidential hopefuls squared off in milwaukie, wisconsin last night. it was their fourth debate. one of the more contentious issues, what to do about illegal immigration. fives inre doing high the clinton campaign when they hear this. that is the problem. we have to win the presidency, and the way you win the presidency is to have practical plans, allow people to her legal status where they pay a fine, where they work, do not commit crimes, and learn english. >> the politics would be very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were crossing the rio grande, or if a bunch of people
12:04 pm
with the journalism degrees were coming over and driving down the wages in the press. mark: the candidates also fought over financial reform. governor -- called for higher capital requirements for banks. senator cruz says that big banks should never be mailed out again. president obama laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns on this veterans day. vice president biden also attended the ceremony. earlier, the president welcomed veterans and their families at the white house for breakfast. today is the 97th anniversary of the end of world war i. russia is calling for a new syrian constitution to be drafted within 18 months that would allow syrians to vote on the constitution and choose a president. it says syrian president bashar al-assad would play no role in developing the constitution. a strong storm system drops snow on denver, colorado and is now allow threatening
12:05 pm
parts of iowa and missouri with tornadoes. inches of snow have been reported in the rockies. new york will be the first state in addition to boost the minimum wage for all state workers to $15 an hour. governor andrew cuomo says he believes the issue is about basic fairness and justice. the increase will be phased in over time with all employees getting the increase by 2021. that is a look at our first word news. you can get more on these and other breaking stories at bloomberg.com. back to you. to bet: market seem buying time and waiting for the federal reserve to make its nest move. is this how things will look until the december meeting? david joy from enterprise financial is with us from boston. i know you cannot read into it
12:06 pm
too much because the bond market is closed for veterans day, but given the waiting around that we anticipate for the next couple of weeks, what scenarios would you say are priced into the equity markets, compared to the bond market? david: the markets have discount on the idea that the fed will raise rates in december. not a done deal, but we don't have too many data points that will push the fed in one direction or another. the jobs report will be critical. the october jobs report was such a blowout number, it's moved out the three average to a longer-term trend. after the morning, that is priced in -- warning, that is priced in. if it actually happens in december, you may see additional volatility but it is pretty much discounted. you are also seeing a movie in short-term interest rates in the bond market. the two-year was close to 90 basis points. close to 60 not too long ago.
12:07 pm
i think it is mostly priced in already and the markets have moved on to think about when the second cut comes. alix: that was my question, what kind of rate hike cycle is the market currently pricing and? all throughout the cycle, the fed has been more aggressive in terms of its expectations in the market. suggested thet fund rate is 1.4% at the end of next year. that is a little bit too aggressive, i don't think the markets have that priced in. maybe three additional ones. you might get up to maybe 1% by the end of the year. that would seem to be consistent with where prices are right now. alix: to that point, in my terminal i have mipr, which is one of my favorite functions, because you can look at the implied policy curve.
12:08 pm
what it wasine is after the last meeting in september. you can see some market tightening when it comes to the rate hike, but is it enough? scarlet: given that you say we will not have many data points between now and december, we are looking to overseas data and market action to set the tone. that makes is pretty vulnerable. if you go back and think about what the fed had to say about international influences, they talk about market turmoil, markets have calmed down significantly since they made those statements. at the same time, we have seen some stabilization in the global purchasing managers index. china is still contracting but at a slower pace than window statement were made. we have also seen some modest improvement in the eurozone as well. i think some of those more acute concerns the fed was talking about the last time have kind of dissipated.
12:09 pm
this is more of a domestic issue now for the federal reserve. that blowout jobs number makes it awfully difficult to ignore. scarlet: speaking of domestic issues, julie was talking about the earnings from macy's. take a look at how retailers have been doing. it's been an ugly couple of days and weeks for the group. here atsee the slump the bottom for the retailers, down to a two-year low. granted, there are specific issues with s&p 500 department

>> recovery that is pretty solid but with inflation still very low and that means for the vast majority of our policy committee we are happy with rates at .5% and have been for number of years. i think all of the committee know there are things we can do to cushion the impact if necessary by lifting monetary policy. that is not my central review --
12:17 pm
my central view but we stand ready to do what is necessary to get inflation back to target to keep that recovery back on track. scarlet: on the heels of --nomic related economic data released, wage growth has softened. a case to be made that the u.k. is ready to raise interest rates . some said before the federal reserve. mark carney's case, perhaps you like to see how that plays out before global markets make a move. alix: the idea that the data shows that the u.k. is in a better position of the u.s. take a look at something like the participation rate in the u.s. that has fallen but in the u.k. it has held up to almost 80% meaning there is more slack in the u.s. than in the u.k., a key thing to look at when it comes to raising rates. scarlet: there is the inflation forure, you have prices
12:18 pm
both services and goods with services inflation stronger in the u.k. than in the u.s. both countries are seeing negative growth when it comes to prices of goods but it is lower in the u.s. than in the u.k.. another thing that might prompt the bank of england to move sooner. alix: if you have wages and share about bonuses it felt about 2.5%. is that a blitz or something rolling over? --re you have employment employment and inflation moving in opposite directions. scarlet: since the financial crisis began we have seen central banks move ahead with raising interest rates only to backtrack later on. you had australia do that, sweden. no one wants to be caught moving too far ahead and having to turn around. alix: if you take a look inside the bloomberg terminal, i'm going to the work function but actually taking a look at the uk's the u.s.. probability of a move is 21% in december and 26% say in january.
12:19 pm
if you take it back to say the beginning of november before we get that killer jobs report, it was down to 14%, meaning that the u.k. is waiting for the u.s. this is what the markets are telling you. scarlet: these external factors, here is what andy haldane had to say. >> we have had a ripple in the emerging market economies. that will hold back global growth. a story we talked about last week in our inflation report. ,n the other, here in the u.k. spending domestically remains robust. without balance of internal and external factors which will determine which way next for interest rates. for now, we are happy where we are. alix: talking about how the u.k. is exposed by comes to emerging markets, sir charles been who was a policymaker we spoke to
12:20 pm
him yesterday on what did you miss and says the u.k. is more exposed when it comes to things in china. dynamic playing out. scarlet: the u.s. can focus more on the domestic situation where the u.k. needs to be more mindful of global events. that is something we will continue to look at. more coming up on bloomberg markets. starting sunday, t-mobile will offer video streaming for media sources. what would you watch? alix: scandal. scarlet: we'll bring you that story, next. ♪
12:21 pm
12:22 pm
alix: t-mobile is introducing free video streaming from 24 different media sources. we spoke with ceo john ledger
12:23 pm
yesterday where he discussed the service they are calling binge on. >> profitability is growing beautifully as his cash flow. the model works and this move will not only grow our customer base that will increase profitability relative to guys that are in big trouble and most of what we're able to do is because of the way they do things, not focused on customers and gouging customers. we do them with a good return but focus on customers. scarlet: in today's west coast wake up we are joined by lucas shaw who reported on this story. legere disrupted the two-year contract now it looks like they are disrupting the way carriers charge for data. lucas: they said at the event yesterday that video is now the number one app for anyone on
12:24 pm
their mobile phone. your scene competitors try their hand at something with video to appeal to consumers. t-mobile's solution is you should sign up with us because if you do it you will not have to pay any of these overage fees or by inexpensive data plan. you might be able to scale back the data plan you get because of how much data goes to video. alix: the question is, are they going to make up enough to offset the cost when it comes to improving profit margins? lucas: t-mobile is clearly the number three player on the market. a lot of these initiatives they have been offering whether it is the free data per video or free data for music have helped them grow faster than competitors. the one thing the ceo said a lot on stage yesterday was talking about how they are making up more than 100% of the growth in the market now. some of that is him stumping at
12:25 pm
his own event. it does seem to have been attracting new customers. at what point did they feel like they are big enough that they can start to see financial benefits to that scale? alix: john legere does a good job stumping as you put it. scarlet: there are some limitations here. you are talking about mobile video and you don't include youtube. netflix is most popular on a tv screen, maybe on tablets where the data also applies but youtube and facebook are big holds. aey said the issue was technical one. with facebook but could not tell which data was from video or another one. i would expect that if they want this to be popular and bring in new customers they will have to make a deal with youtube and
12:26 pm
they did say they are in negotiations with them. alix: thank you so much. lucas shaw joining us on t-mobile. when it comes to what you are looking at, it is all about those description additions. you can see how ferocious t-mobile has been. it is that yellow grass and how much they have grown over the last few quarters and months. how much free stuff for the going to give us to woo us over? scarlet: we have more coming up including alibaba and its single day haul. ♪ the only way to get better is to challenge yourself,

12:33 pm
alibabasay when can come to america? lycee, we did -- i say, we do not go there to compete. if we go there we want to help the small business, helping them to china, to asia. we have such a huge demand of chinese consumers online. we have more than 120 million people even on the mobile phone shopping our site. we need good products, unique products. usa has huge potential. -- i want five years our team to be central to invest in the high technology. helping them to grow and helping them grow not only by the money but helping them one day coming to china. a huge market. emily: they are focusing on india. you are focusing on russia, for example. when do the world's biggest
12:34 pm
e-commerce companies collide? jack: amazon and alibaba we have a pretty different model. they buy at themselves and we are a platform. on our site we have a 10 million -- we have 10 million small businesses and 10 million big businesses. we believe any company can be amazon. if amazon is a great apple, we are the apple tree. a lot of companies like amazon, they buy and sell, cloud computing, using our logistic system, our payment system. the is of the services. we want to enable every company to be e-commerce. we are not an e-commerce company. i don't think amazon and us would compete. we want a lot of people as successful as amazon. emily: should amazon be worried? jack: i don't know. if they are worried, they're worried.
12:35 pm
by paul are joined sweeney. scarlet: if you look at the share price of ali baba i know it has been on a tear over the past month up 13%. today it is down 2%. this was a blockbuster single day number for ali baba. billion is a little bit better and what the street was expecting. there is concern that singles day has gotten so big $14 billion in sales, perhaps there might be a risk of pulling sales from future periods that might affect the ali baba's of the world. alibaba is a story that since the ipo, the first couple quarters they did not perform well. results were dicey and the stock traded off partly in response to that. it is the last quarter that they reported that they put up good numbers relative to what the street was looking for. started to do a much better job. hopefully today's result will
12:36 pm
lend more credence that this remains a strong growth story despite economic concerns in china. alix: you heard emily talking about the relationship with amazon. what is the relationship between jeff bezos and jack ma? paul: at what point are these giant platforms going to bump into each other head-on? it does not appear that is the case yet. alibaba is primarily focused on china. that is where the majority of sales and revenue come from. since the ipo, jack ma has been consistent in saying we will become a global company and he announced in the interview with emily that in 10 years i think 50% of revenue will be outside of china. if that is the case there will be bumping up against amazon all over the world. i think the jack was trying to suggest, their models are different. at this stage ali baba simply
12:37 pm
wants to be a major platform for andging u.s. consumers chinese consumers and u.s. merchants and chinese merchants together and take their cut of every transaction. scarlet: one thing that struck me was ali baba talking about how this year they took the event to beijing. we are talking about shopping that is done online. it is not really a location specific. it brings to mind what does it mean when they say they want to bring it to new york or london. paul: i think mobile sales are close to 70% today. i think what they are doing with aging and maybe taking it more globally -- with beijing and may taking it more globally to new york, trying to make singles day and global sales retail day. looking for publicity. taking it from their hometown to beijing today really hyped up
12:38 pm
the promotional value of it. hyped up the promotional value of ali baba as the place you want to go for global sales on singles day. if you take it to new york and london i think it speaks to global ambitions. alix: you know that is coming to time square. thanks so much. paul sweeney. scarlet: coming up in the next hour, what is ahead for energy into 2015 -- into toward the 16? will run down -- into 2016? alix: m and a chatter around health care spaces. how is this transforming the industry? scarlet: investors appear ready to dip their toes back into emerging markets. those stories and more, coming up. ♪

12:46 pm
are off significant liffe the stocks today. alix: this week across bloomberg we're looking into the year ahead with a special issue of bloomberg businessweek as well as a summit of business leaders and industry influencers. today we focus on energy trends to keep dry on. coal, nuclear, natural gas, they are going head-to-head for dominance of the energy market. when we see a shift in the balance of power next year? after a year in which oil prices dominated the news you might think the same issues will drive next year's stories. if you focus on oil prices you will miss the larger picture for 2016. we rely on oil of course for transportation but it is not the only game in town anymore. as our reliance on oil shrinks,
12:47 pm
we will turn to not just one new source of energy but several. this is different than what has happened in the past. previously, one form of energy was superseded by another. in the 19th century our reliance on wood gave way to coal and in the 20th century that yielded to oil. in the 21st century, the next step will not be an orderly progression from one fuel to the next. it will be a free-for-all. so which source stands the best shot? let's get the easy answer out of the way. it is not going to be cold. although japan and china will add coal plants this year, share of u.s. electricity production has gone down since 2005. cold is too dirty in the place of -- in the face of climate change. nuclear energy is not doing so hot either. several aging u.s. plants of been closed and germany, japan and other countries are planning
12:48 pm
to phase out nuclear energy altogether. from there, the energy picture gets sunnier. natural gas is a big success story of the past few years pouring out of u.s. fracking project and undercutting coal as a cheap source of electricity. wind power is as cheap as coal in germany and the u.k. and demand for solar is the highest it has ever been which may have something to do with the price of solar panels dropping 95% since 2008. in spite of all of the some people come oil -- in spite of all of this up evil, oil is still king. , irann high u.s. output probably resuming exports and saudi arabia lowballing to maintain market share, oil prices are likely to stay low for a while which gives less incentive to find alternatives. there is a funny thing about oil you may not noticed, it does not really compete with the others directly. oil mostly powers cars, ships,
12:49 pm
and planes while the others mostly generate electricity. the wildcard for oil in 2016 and beyond is how fast cars might start to run on electricity instead of gasoline or diesel. even when you see a big shift, it may signal the true end of the oil age. it won't be replaced by the solar age or biofuel age or wind age. it will be replaced by all of them. the peak oil conversation, one of my faves. the era of big m&a. we will break it down, coming up. ♪

how extended does the bull market look? short-term only affect about 20% of the constituents of the s&p 500, such that the pullback we have seen has been healthy and has already relieved the condition that occurred. the important resistance for the s&p 500 they sun that high. when you look at the s&p this on a 200 per day average, we just sort of ounce off of that. what is the importance of that level? what kind of follow through might we see? >> we has in the s&p 500 breakout above it. a nice hurdle to clear. i think it is a gauge of the long-term trend, still very higher for the broader market. being at the psychological support level, we will see

1:11 pm
there are indications there is a short connection that we have seen, and the end result of course is going nowhere -- nowhere. it is a continuation pattern and that comes from the momentum that has improved over time. not that obvious yet here it i think until your above 51 or $52 barrel, you cannot get too excited about the move or the countertrend to move. there are early indications that this process we are undergoing is hard of a phase. scarlet: what is the leading asset >> which one is the trigger for everything else? >> said is hard to say. i would like to think it is equities and the stock market should discount a lot of this information we have on the macro front. it has been top-down driven. that comes with volatility we saw two words the end of the summer. >> awesome stuff. what is the first chart you look
