point 6 -- down to 42.61 after opec says it did not put a strong ceiling on production per not that there was a very strong ceiling on production in any case. let's also take a look at chipotle. the price plummeted on friday after more equal i cases were uncovered by the cdc. right now we're looking at a 10% jerk -- at a 10% drop. the company cut same-store sales. the president spoke to us last night, addressed the nation from the oval office, only the third time in his tenure that he has done that. his remarks came days after a mass shooting in san bernardino, california, that left 14 people dead. we want to turn to megan murphy. every presidential address has simple at parts to it and a real change proposed. can you sort through it for us,
7:04 am
please? megan: if we look at what the president said last night, what is more important is almost what he did not say. he did not give us any new information on last week passed mass shootings in california. he did not outline a strategy to combat islamic state. to convince people that he has taken the lead. he has not come across as really presidential. i am not sure he was successful at doing a leslie picker the address was shorter than expected. a -- there was no lengthy defense of welcoming everybody, proposing -- whether or not he gave any real concrete steps last night is difficult to judge. he mentioned something a little bit about asking for enhanced time duration -- enhance
7:05 am
cooperation, and mentioned tighten scrutiny with the waiver program. outside of that, it was pretty much what was said before. let's take a look at what he had to say. president obama: the threat from terrorism is real, but we will overcome it. we will destroy isil and any other organization that tries to harm us. our success will not depend on tough talk or abandoning our values or giving in to fear. that is what groups like isil are hoping for. instead, we will prevail by being strong and smart, resilient and resort this -- brazilian and relentless, and drawing on every aspect of american power. david: those are strong words. stephanie: are that? david: you don't think so? that is interesting. arehanie: i think they strong words, but one of the responses is that there is no strong action. david: what reaction will it be
7:06 am
from congress? what is going to change? megan: stephanie makes a great point. what does it actually mean, that we will tap into every avenue of u.s. power? there were few specifics. he did say we will step up scrutiny of the visa waiver program, which allows people from 39 countries to come to america without having a visa. that is a program that has significant economic benefit in terms of drawing tourism into this country. has is a proposal that attracted bipartisan support. but whether or not we can get it has divided congress. as for gun control, the president called on congress to take action that would limit -- to armedapons of assault weapons, machine guns, the kind of arsenal we saw the terrorists have in california. it is an area where he has very little ability to actually get anything done with the congress he faces right now. so a lot of talk, not a lot of
7:07 am
action last night. stephanie: i talked to my kids and i say this is serious and this is important -- unless action, theyal will not look up from their devices. megan murphy, thanks again. now we have to talk about markets. this last week was a true roller coaster. the euro took a hit as the ecb outlined further easing measures. europe, oil continued its downhill freefall. it has sunk below 40 bucks a barrel, it as opec ministers ended their talks without agreeing to it -- without agreeing to anything. all eyes are ahead to the next meeting on the server 16 were people assume we will see array rate hike. let's break it down. by andrew carr -- andrew cosgrove. gentle men, what are you watching in this trading week ahead? we have so much information.
7:08 am
some of it is conflicting. investors do not like that. they like security and certainty. >> everybody is going to be watching the dollar. if you look at commodities across the world, correlations have been rising. they are really going to be looking out happens going into the last part of the quarter, with how u.s. production is going to act and how some of the producers outside of the u.s. are going to take this. david: michael, are we looking at less volatility? ecb and opec surprises. >> over the weekends a whole we were not volatile. the ability of this market to move 1% or 2% is extreme. it seems to be an almost fiction market. that once it starts moving at 10:30 in the morning, a continues in that direction through the end of the day. what matters is not so much the
7:09 am
equity market, it is the quality of the credit market. the credit market, there is a very bad act end to 2015. everybody is very hopeful that once the fed gets it, it is out of the way, maybe the credit market can do better again. i am skeptical about it. stephanie: how skeptical he? could we see default? bankruptcy isl what you have seen. buts not exactly a default, if you are a bondholder, it kind of feels like a default. certainly within the energy sector, you are going to see a wave of defaults and forced restructurings. the big question is going to be whether other sectors which have nothing to do with commodities also go through the production cycle overrun. david: when it comes to oil, is it just a market defining the price? opec is out of it.
7:10 am
>> that is correct. anywhere else offshore, brazil, anybody in the middle east or opec is going to act independently. you will see continued investment, whether it be saudi any country, iraq, in the middle east part of opec will be the stronghold. they will increase production as time goes forward, and you will see the deepwater and the offshore fields, nigeria and venezuela, those guys will curtail production. david: matt, why don't you give us some perspective here? matt: the best perspective is looking at the 50-year or 40 year chart of oil. step back and look at this chart, we did not hit $40 a 2004. at all until i have a 10-year moving average. 81.38.ld be at about
7:11 am
we were in the $20 a barrel for decades. what has changed to bring oil -- why all of a sudden should be worth $40, $50, $60 a barrel? michael: there was a very interesting decade between 2004 and2015 -- between 2004 2014. i do not see why oil could not be range bound below $40. if it is, that will be painful for people. stephanie: it is all just supply and demand issues. , it iswhat oil is worth worth what people are willing to pay for it. michael: i think at some time supply will force people to stop supplying. willy of any significance stop drilling, so we will go lower. stephanie: trying to help you with his look ahead this week. we would like to have a positive

over the weekend about an oppositional alliance. this marks a major political shift and coded mean changes ahead for the economy? and investment opportunities in venezuela? exactly what i just said. how big a change is this, catch up was a can skate? katia: just because they won a majority, one vote does not equal one seat in the house. because in venezuela you have some votes that go directly into a simple name, a name that goes into a seat. we need to really see how much of a majority of a majority the opposition has in congress, because that is the ticket to getting big changes done. is such a oil export big business for venezuela. does it matter who is in office, even what oil prices look like? and a lot ofally, economists say the situation has
7:18 am
gotten so terrible there, there is not anything anybody can do to turn it around. you need to see oil rebound to see substantial change. the distortions are so great that it is not something that can be turned around overnight. stephanie: what does the terminal have, matt miller? matt: you look at the black-market rate is one of the most useful rates because it is most readily accessible. if we pull up by bloomberg, we can show you that. up, the rate has shot up to 911. i googled the official rate. it is 6.25. katya, what is going on? this coincides with the collapse of the oil price. katia: you see multiple rates on the screen. the top, the one that is way up 9.11, that is the black-market rate. there is very little liquidity of dollar, so it will overshoot
7:19 am
a lot. -- have a realist or should you have a real distortion that keeps the rate fixed, and you have these other rates that can be used to import certain items into the economy that you can use. but the liquidity in those markets is very small as well. all the demand goes into the black market for day to day purposes. so high,nflation is some estimate inflation at 125%. i have heard estimates of close to 1000%. there is no clue as to how bad it is. that is where all the pleasures going -- that is where all the pressure is going. you can access this chart on bloomberg. david: thanks for joining us. with retail giants struggling, we have been talking about this. who are the winners and the losers? we will find about -- we will find out about all of this on "bloomberg ."

7:25 am
leverage when you are sitting at 90%. it is more about leasing space than gaining occupancy per but our dear flow -- when gap sales are closing hundreds of stores, that has no impact? michael: it absolutely has an impact. but we are doing business with old navy, athleta. stephanie: who is winning and who is losing? uphael: victoria's secret is year-over-year. people ask me about what other new concepts. i look at american eagle, hollister. it is the same store, different merchandise per even though they are not new retailers, they are becoming new retailers inside their four walls. david: what about the new like best buy is doing new things with their stores. michael: it is marrying on line between bricks and mortar and online.

own anchors. there is a $.2 billion that is owed by the puerto rico electric power company. greg is with us. i was a bit surprised when i saw this. this was certainly a case that the court didn't have to take. had decided this case had ruled against puerto rico. what is at issue is the law, they are trying to get around the federal and cropsey flaw. the federal bankruptcy law says that takes cannot set up their own systems to allow for restructuring of debt. that lawco said, doesn't apply to us. we are allowed to set up our own system and force the creditors into accepting a partial payment. david: as i understand, and i am not a federal bankruptcy expert,
7:36 am

it was more the playstation and the messaging systems. there is the issue of free speech and then there are the serious business issues where you have seen eggs silicon valley companies like symantec and cisco talk about the business impact of the edward snowden relations. hacking into the devices. it was hurting the sales in europe. that they a year ago were seen as being in bed with the nsa. they found they were losing business. there are some serious enterprise technology issues that go beyond free speech. david: let's go back. you said that there were some indications that we would go further. what could he be asking for from silicon valley? megan: even though the president
8:07 am
has said that he won't reverse the decision to seek legislation asking tech companies to provide a backdoor to encrypted technologies, i think those types of discussions will be renewed. he will be asking them what exactly they are doing, as far as how many layers they are going down. johnson said, silicon valley does a lot on this front. they have always done a lot. they are concerned with free speech and by giving the government access to their platforms, there's concerned -- they are concerned that it opens the door to hackers. they have already had serious problems with this. there is a lot of conjugated issues here in asking them to step up their behavior. stephanie: hacking is a big issue in your world. what was your take on what the president said last night? terry: when you look at cyber
8:08 am
regulator,sues, our i run an exchange, i don't run a social media platform, but they have called to have source codes because of high-frequency traders. to similar anything to what we are talking about. they pass a regulation within the agency. these source codes are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. no different than a social media platform. but with one snap of a finger, regulators can ask for them. why can't they do the same thing on social media platforms? [laughter] stephanie: because they like social media platforms. [laughter] they also promise their what that they are using they promised they are using.
8:09 am
it could fundamentally a road their business. no sign that the backdoor will help terrorists. told we are at war with an entity that is attacking us in our home. we have to modify it or worry about security. if you say that there isn't a ankdoor, isn't that advertisement to the islamic state to say, this is how we communicate? stephanie: do you want to weigh in? megan: there is the argument to be made that having them posts and recruit on twitter and facebook is an advantage to authorities, it gives them a good trail to pursue people and identify people. david, that is the issue. the president didn't make that many new points about how we are supposed to change our strategy.
8:10 am
i think the american people want more, more along the lines of discussion. how are we going to modify behavior? the are we doing beyond visa waiver program? there is the demand for us to be more rigorous, i don't know whether silicon valley is the way to go. alleys thate other would alleviate people's concern against domestic and international terror. stephanie: thank you for joining us. our own editor, cory johnson. you better come back next week. when we come back, new york city just got a little bit more bling. to holiday windows, you have look at this. 7 million crystals. this is beautiful. promotion forf a the newly renovated jewelry

8:37 am
actually help with the volatility and keep prices that will keep u.s. consumers putting more money in their pocket? i think that it is clear that ban is left over from the 1970's when we had price control. it is ridiculous for the united states to go around telling the rest of the world we believe in open markets and free trade and have this arbitrary ban. exportsdn't increase in that would be good because we are under intense pressure. consumers would not be particularly effective brady they would have low gasoline prices because gasoline prices are set by the world market not lower u.s. prices. stephanie: you have to be concerned about southern lower massive swings. -- sudden massive lower swings. >> it is no different from when

9:16 am
deliver to our customers comes from renewable sources and we knew in our hydro and nuclear assets more than half of the energy we deliver to our customers is completely non-greenhouse gas emitting. our you couple that with electric field goal program, our energy efficiency programs can we really have with a partnership of government and private industry, crafted a viable solution to the greenhouse gas issue. explain to us if this is being driven by business considerations, making more money, or if it is heavily driven by government and government intervention? ofit is driven by a number things. first of all, it is driven less by the fact that customers want clean energy. we have done a lot of work over the years, and we get a clear signal that they do want us to cleanerhaving a generation fleet here in california. it has been helped by the fact that california over the last 20
9:17 am
years as put together a series of policies that not only helped push clean energy but they also make sure that the companies that are participating are successful. if you are not a successful business you will not be able to invest the money in order to convert your fleet. >> does it not also indicates an innovation on your part that you are saving efforts on controversial capital programs, where you will not have as much regulatory issue? maybe the markets are discounting that a little bit? >> you are absolutely right about having to really innovate to make this work. when you think about it, when the grid was first built over fairlyrs ago it was simple. you put power in one end and the customers would take it out the other. it was like the early days of
9:18 am
the internet a island motives sending documents back-and-forth but today the electric grid is becoming more complex with electric solar grids being in power, the wind farms in the mountains feeding in power. had to invest in the system to make it a much more flexible engine to be able to accommodate the credible innovation that is going on today. one of the stumbling blocks in this balance is the relationship between private rooftop solar and energy coming from the grid, in california specifically. you are in paris and you are talking to other utilities. what he learned about the right relationship between private rooftops and coming from the grid? rooftop solar, we know more about it than anyone in the u.s.. we have 200,000 rooftop solar units, that is 25% of the total in the united states.
9:19 am
the reality is our system in california is huge. without a large utility scale solar and wind farms, you're not going to be able to drive the economic growth. so you have to be able to do both. solar has its role to play, but you also have to have large utility scale projects in order to be able to support economic growth and stay as big -- in a state as biggest california. stephanie: do you plan on a dividend increase in 2016? we have not seen one in on a long time. >> we have not. and that is one of my personal goals, to have a dividend increase in 2016. i have a discussion with my board of directors, and we are hoping we will be able to do that. have regulatory issues now behind us, and we see really good growth opportunities. toneed to invest in the grid

stephanie: he was a little bit different. peter: a little, and on the other side it holds. if you are in the commodity hedge fund business and you were in these deflationary pressures, it is difficult to make money. the lastis huge, and few years, interest rates have stabilized. we had a 32 year bull market in the fixed income. the stock market as a whole, the industries have not gone anywhere as of september 14. it has been a difficult process. our view is that smaller and nimbler is better. what we try to build our people that can maneuver speedboats around these huge wakes that are being created, and we can take advantage of that. stephanie: how did passport and maverick do so well?

the winners, it is fine. picking the bottom has not worked. academic economists have been saying for a couple of years that the economy is not behaving according to the models have been building over their entire career. are those models broken for you as well? peter: i love it economists but an econ is someone who see something that works in practice and questions whether or not it will work in theory. let's determine the markets work and what we have seen, the traditional model because of the fact that we have had this more extended deflationary pressures that has caused that disconnect. david: one model that is not working in practice is that phillips curve. we are looking at the relationship tween unemployment and inflation -- between
9:32 am
inflation and unemployment. peter: if you take a slice of time when you are concerned about inflation and unemployment in that period of the 70's, and i love to go back. we had alan greenspan who is chair of the council of economic advisers under president ford. he had the whip inflation now button and the phillips curve, and then it broke down. it takes about 20 years of research to figure that as broken down. it does not work because there are much greater factors going on in an economy the size of ours. stephanie: how are you going to create out for? running,nk in a short man versus machine, machine is one. it is difficult to beat an index. we believe in the combination of man and machine, one week to three months looking at a

combination of fundamental factors and earnings as well as tech cofactors. part of that has to do with, we know when there is going to be lumpy volatility. you try to put that in a package to provide a risk management point of view. my perspective is, i am not smarter than the market, i just want to have a disciplined risk-reward approach. if i am wrong, i can get out and fight for another day. it is when you think you are right and you average down and average down. has assigned behind his desk, losers average losers. try to get the risk-reward in a good place. david: i am curious about something, the upper middle class is not doing well. this is not how economist look at it. a look at the top 10% and the rest of the economy but when you

9:35 am
the economy that is going to shift that. are we getting into a worse and worse situation? >> i do not necessarily want to say that but it looks like, with the fed starting to potentially raise interest rates. at the same time, aggregate demand is low, that we are going to be muddling on for a bit further. david: generally with the economy recovering, 211,000 jobs, would it we see companies like tiffany's, whole foods, wouldn't we see them emerging? what we see them doing better? stephanie: is it more people having jobs at all? >> it is not just the amount of jobs, it is the total income in the economy, and where is that marginal spending going? that marginal spending is not going to those good. uber,n look at airbnb,

the whole robo economy as an indication that people are not as concerned about stuff. stephanie: the experience economy. people are not spending their money on good, especially expensive good. peter: this is a really important point, what is important is not the 211,000 jobs, the other is the stagnant median wage which is not moving. one is the average and the other is the margin. , a six footworrying tall man that drowns in water with an average height of five feet. on average, our wages are not going up. to take a looket at where stocks are open, six and a half minutes into the trading day.

9:46 am
bank of the future makes so much sense, why aren't more banks doing it? girardi toy joins us from boston. that you put study out, that branches are overvalued. who is doing it right? correct, we see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity for banks to take their cost out of the branch and move them to mobile and other digital channels by taking those routine interactions, cashing a , whichand digitizing at leads to a better experience for the customer. the real winners are globally. our sixth annual study of consumer behavior around the world shows that americans in
9:47 am
particular are visiting branches for these routine interactions far more than many other developed markets. consumers of u.s. said they visited a branch in the last three months for a routine interaction, leading to about 10 branch visits per year in america. compare that to the netherlands where only 25% of consumers say they visited a branch in the for an averages of three times a year. that is seven times more than americans are visiting the branch in the global benchmark. stephanie: is the answer that these banks should close their branches? if they are not devoting any money to them, clearly they are not getting better and they need to cut costs. gerard: certainly they need to and the $3 billion i
9:48 am
mentioned is purely variable costs. that is before closing a single branch, so that is the variable cost of going to a teller and driving their instead of the atm or mobile. that is what gets you the $3 billion before you even close the branches. the reason we say focus first on changing the behavior is if you jump to quickly to just closing the branches, that is going to frustrate consumers and get them to something they are not quite ready to do. in other markets where they have moved too fast in closing knows it has frustrated the customer, easy, andmake it reliable for the customer to do these things self-service. sometimes the withdrawal limit is too low on the atm or the deposit limit is too low so they have to go to a teller. first you have got to fix that
9:49 am
before you say there are not any tellers available. once you have done that an educated the consumers in how to do the self-service, only after that are you ready to go after the actual closing of the branch. david: as you look at the landscape of the big banks, who is doing this well? who is making the transition the best? gerard: the real benchmark is not in the u.s., but thernationally, not just netherlands but australia and germany for they have less than half of routine interactions. within the u.s., chase is probably a little ahead in that they have been working for many years making their mobile experience reliable and convenient, and training customers have to do that. is enabling them to take some of the volume out of the branches, and it is many of the original banks who are struggling to keep up with that.
9:50 am
they need to invest as much as possible on the technology and struggling to drive the customer behavior to generate the adoption. this is going to be a problem because in the past have let -- relied on the branch for better customer service, data shows mobile interactions are much better than branch interactions. a branch visit is more than twice as likely to annoy a customer than a routine interaction. brendan: the treasury department is worried about something related, that is how do you get people in the banking system? what is it that banks need to do to get that 7% of american households that do not have a bank account into the branches? gerard: it is not more branches, because branches are expensive and part of the reason why the banks are not very excited about serving the under banked community because it does not look profitable because the cost
9:51 am
to serve is too high. just the variable cost, without the cost of the branch itself is an additional $24 per customer of those routine interactions that on average they are coming into the branch more than the netherlands or australia. first you have to take out the cost so the banks would say, i need the profitable customers, and then you have to find lower cost, digital way to serve the customers. stephanie: thank you for joining us this morning. he is a partner at bain and company in boston. peter boorse, you are not going anywhere. we have heard the nominees for the grammys announced, the 58th grammy awards for 2016. top song award goes to taylor "blank space," along with wiz khalifa and ed shearin.
