10:00 am
from bloomberg world headquarters in new york, i am betty liu. here's what we're watching at this hour. the dollar is rising again following its biggest weekly loss since may. what it means for the market and the fed's upcoming interest rate decision, the hike we are all waiting for. overseas, celebrations in the streets of venezuela as the opposition wins a majority in congress or the first time in 16 years. how the government is addressing the deep economic challenges, and what does this mean for investing in emerging markets? shares of chipotle are tanking, down more than 21%. shares of curie green mountain are soaring -- keurig green mountain our surrey that -- are
10:01 am
soaring. buy.is a lot of k cups to ramy inocencio has the latest. to date rebounds on friday and we're back down again. ramy: investors are giving up some of their gains, but today the stronger dollar is a bit of a wait on the markets. the s&p down by about 11.7 points. i into my bloomberg terminal, want to show you the health of the s&p. , andan play along at home you can see the energy sector is the biggest lag or. --lagger. it has accelerated losses, down about three and a quarter percent.
10:02 am
you can see all the other sectors from consumer discretionary to financials and health care down by only half a percent or so. the energy sector definitely taking a beating. you can check out all of securities. based on the weight on the s&p, exxon is down by about two and a half percent and chevron down 3.2%. definitely energy taking a hammering. betty: because oil is back down below $40 a barrel, right? and: oil is falling again, this is for the second time in a row it is below the $40 a barrel mark, all because opec pushed aside the output quota of 30 million barrels a day as member nations tried to hold onto market shares. they will only revisit the quote is back in june. nymex crude is down by nearly 4%. year to date, the price of oil
10:03 am
as we all know has fallen by more than a quarter. down by nearly 28%, and if you think that is bad, look over the past two years. oil has fallen by nearly 61%. back in 2014 eight fell about 46% alone, it's worst annual performance since 2008 during the great recession. let's take a look at williams company, down by nearly 12%. chesapeake energy down by 7%. betty: thank you so much. let's check in now with david gora from our news desk. david: seeking to reassure americans in quiet critics, president obama made a naturally tell of -- nationally televised speech to talk about the battle with the islamic state. he called the san bernardino
10:04 am
shooting "a new phase in the fight against terrorism." last night's speech was only the third delivered from the oval office. the woman who carried out the mass shooting with her husband details havefew emerged about her life in pakistan where she lived from to7 two 2014 before she left the united states on a pharmacy visa. she got a pharmacy degree in 2013. of a stabbingd and london is in court today, charged with attempted murder. he had images associated with the islamic state on his mobile phone. accusingovernment is the us-led coalition of launching airstrikes on the syrian army.
10:05 am
the u.s. denies the claim, outng the alliance carried for strikes against oil wells, all of them miles away. set to arrive in texas soon after the state eased on its fight to stop them. nine refugees are scheduled to arrive in houston on thursday. governors of about 30 states oppose receiving refugees after the terror attacks in paris. that is look at our first word news. breaking stories at the new bloomberg.com. betty: thank you so much, david guerrera at the news test. -- news desk. that is a little bit stronger than their earlier forecast of the euro actually falling or weakening 290 five cents against the dollar in the next 12 months.
10:06 am
the investment bank has changed in position after the ecb says it would send the total tumbling and we saw it strengthen about 3%. what does this say about the market's confidence in the currency market? i want to bring in mark chandler. also with us is rachel evans. mark, i want to start with you because they say the ecb change not going toy are let the currency weekend as much as everyone thought they would. is kind of awkward for me to comment about another bank's strategy. our forecast for the end of this year has been one of five, and we did not expected to go through parity this year. we do not have it going through parity until close to the middle of next year. betty: why is that? marc: we place much more
10:07 am
emphasis on the diversion seem. the ecb did cut rates and ease policy last week. must likely they will raise rates and tighten policy going forward, and i know some of my colleagues -- even if the first rate hike is priced in, what about the next one? the federal reserve has told us that they expect the rate hike to be appropriate once a quarter, or every other meeting next year. the march hike is not priced yet. i think it should be a greater chance than 50/50. chance, andut a 40% i think it should be something well over 50% given the strength of the jobs data and signals of the federal reserve. page, i am looking at our and you are absolutely right about that. rachael, i think mark brings up some good points and i am curious overall.
10:08 am
doubts theink anyone dollar will weaken and the euro will strengthen, it is a question of how much. rates, the ecb did cut however it did disappoint market expectations. stock are trying to take and think about exactly how far and how fast we could see the euro weakened. betty: what is really behind that strengthened euro last week? was it people covering perhaps some of their positions? rachel: market positioning was very stretched going into the ecb meeting. us petitioning growth have been high since may. there was a lot of running for the exits, trying to cover those positions as you pointed out. marc: i wonder if there would
10:09 am
,ave been a rumor by the fact no matter what the ecb would have done because of the positioning. in those commitment of traders you refer to, the gross long position -- most people focus on a net position and there is a huge net short position -- but if you look at the gross position that separates the long from the short, long positions are the currency futures. contracts are gross long. it is not as if anyone thinks the euro is going to fall. some people do, obviously. betty: but not everybody. marc: many people have called the bottom of the euro. that is an interesting point because forecasters call for the euro to rally into next year. that contrasts quite significant lately -- quite significantly
10:10 am
with this idea of parity. betty: i want to throw in another topic, and that is china. they have taken over this working group of the g20 where they are looking at perhaps making the global economy a little less reliant on the dollar. let's face it, we have seen the impact of the dollar on commodity currencies. what do you make of that? marc: they are the rotating leadership, and the chinese take over at next year. u.s.may be the end of the and china joining the sgr. does this take anything away from the u.s.? i say no. positionof the rmb's is coming out of europe, not the dollar. the chinese talk a good game with having a substitute for the dollar. betty: they are saying let's make the fcr the currency of
10:11 am
choice. marc: i think it is completely impractical. nobody believes it will replace the dollar. it is not even supplementing the dollar. it is agreed to by the imf, and this is the kind of vote the chinese have very little voting stake in. the u.s. has a veto on most decisions which require 85%. chinese, these claims about the chinese wanting to replace the dollar with the sdr's long-term thinking, and it will not impact most of us in our time as investors. betty: thank you so much for joining us, mark chandler. ,lso thank you to rachel evans our bloomberg four x reporter. much more ahead, venezuela's opposition wins a majority in congress for the first time in 16 years.
10:12 am

10:16 am
i am not a big fan, i am not sure if i'm allowed to say that. betty: you are a healthy guy. ramy: investors are not happy with what is happening with chipotle. investors really losing their appetite after the fast food chain filed this report on friday with the sec with an update on the e. coli fallout. chipotle is down about three and a half percent. they say comparable restaurant sales will be between minus eight and -11%, noting nonrecurring expenses between $6 million. part of this is to replace food and part of it is to analyze food samples. chipotle rescinding its 2016 outlook for comparable sales increases. cut toting has been market perform from outperform. another stock that is moving,

10:19 am
it is visibility and there is a liquidity and safety that the u.s. contracts. e.m. has always been the opposite and now there is such a dichotomy between the two, and it makes for those of us in the business of investing in emerging markets that much more rewarded for being disciplined. betty: those who are disciplined will become the winners. miami is kathryn mooney via. bloomberg -- and bloomberg is caught tia. -- caught tia. on venezuela, tell us the significance. ia: we have to see how much majority they get because if it is less than 66%, people are not that bullish and a lot of it has to do with the symbolism behind this, and exactly how far they
10:20 am
can go in terms of weakening the president. any majority can call for a recall referendum but the stronger they have in congress, the more they can do. they can appoint new supreme court officials, change the constitution, and go after stronger problems. betty: as someone who follows closely not just events in venezuela, but china and other emerging markets, they have been roiled by the stronger dollar. when you look at what happened in venezuela, what do you say? >> they specifically are taking more of a hit from the surge in the u.s. dollar that we have seen so far. i agree that the u.s. is going
10:21 am
to be so so in the disciplined investor will find valley -- value in some of these undervalued asset classes. i think there are some opportunities. we have never considered 2015 a real high probability of default , and the next payment is coming up in february. beyond that, the next payment is coming in the second half of the year. i think this is very positive. the majority would be more effective in terms of undermining and actually reversing these detrimental policies that have really cripple the economy over the past almost 20 years in venezuela. i think there is opportunity. betty: they would say you can make money in high times and in low times. these are certainly turning points, particularly in brazil. estevez, we have some pictures of him being hauled off to jail.
10:22 am
week,as saying to us last this is the equivalent of lloyd blankfein being pulled into jail. it is incredible. katia: you have had a lot of stars fall in brazil over the last couple of years. he represents this golden boy. he is relatively young, under 50. he is the youngest self-made billionaire in brazil. we have these pictures of him being hauled off to jail, and road aleagues in rio spectacular piece over the weekend about the conditions he is facing. infested, squatting over toilets. it is jail. kathryn: it is jail. betty: thank you so much. much for joining me

10:47 am
this? joining me is jennifer epstein. outlined sounded tough. what she outlined today in the times is something she has also written about for bloomberg view. it's are set of proposals. she is reiterating them. because republicans in congress are working on a spending bill and trying to insert different measures that would roll back parts of dodd-frank. goingtrying to say, i'm to be strong on dodd-frank and urging congressional democrats and president obama to stay firm on that as well. on top of that, she's trying to get back some of the attacks that she's gotten from bernie sanders and martin o'malley and other democrats who are saying -- she's not tough enough on wall street. so she can say, look at me. i am tough. dodd-frank is just the beginning. something she has said for
10:48 am
months, but just reiterating it again. she's also rolling out a plan on inversion. betty: i know on wednesday she's some more tax measures. just on what she said today in the op-ed, let's bring that up. she's talking about imposing a risk-free on banks with assets of more than $50 billion. giving the government more authority to break up tanks. -- breakup banks. -- she hashis already said this. is any of this going to go through congress? does she have any chance? >> it would depend on the dynamics of congress. headingthat things look into the 2016 election is that republicans are likely to maintain the majority in the house and senate.
10:49 am
it's going to be a fight the same way it was for president obama after the first two years when democrats ran both chambers. this is not going to be a slamdunk. anything that does get through is going to be hard-fought and there's going to be lots of changes and it's probably not going to look all that much like what she's talking about right now. on wednesday, what are we going to hear about inversions? supports something the obama administration also supports, which is raising the threshold to 50% of a company that can go overseas. and on top of that, she is also proposing this exit tax. so if a company decides to go through with an inversion -- the campaign cited pfizer for example -- they would be threatened with an exit tax. they haven't said how much that would be.
10:50 am
the idea is, if you try to go overseas in your entirety, you would pay such a big tax policy that it wouldn't be worth it. betty: thank you so much, jennifer epstein. much more ahead on bloomberg markets. the grammy nominees are just out. if you aren't a dell or coldplay or coldplay, how do most artists get money out of their music? ♪
10:51 am
10:52 am
betty: welcome back. i'm delly loop -- i'm billy live -- i'm betty liu. onlyrammys aren't the music platform that kendrick lamar is doing all right in. he set a streaming record on spotify earlier this year. bringing in $1.3 million in royalties on one single day. sweeneyus now is paul
10:53 am
of bloomberg intelligence. also andrew hampp, a former correspondent for billboard magazine. i think the number we just quoted with kendrick lamar shows that you can still make a lot of money on streaming. in many waysercut what we have seen coldplay and taylor swift and adele do? >> there's a lot more money that they feel like is being left on the table. talk to someone like a dell or adeplay or taylor swift -- le or coldplay or taylor swift. are they getting fairly compensated? you are starting to see bigger names withhold their content. greedyit sounds a little from these big artists. >> it can be, but it makes sense when you look at the math.
10:54 am
who isst like adele, technically signed through an indie label in the states, she stands to make as much as five dollars per album sale. that's $15 million in revenue that could have otherwise and depleted by streaming. in those first weeks, those are crucial for the coldplays and beyonces who ned that first big week. it makes a little bit more sense. we have seen some nuances with the artist stakeholders -- chris martin of coldplay being one of those. we are seeing that play out a little bit more when it comes to release weeks. betty: is this going to really hurt spotify? and theime, spotify other streamers absolutely need to have the best content as quickly as they can. it's a competitive marketplace in terms of streaming services,
10:55 am
not to mention the terrestrial services. there's a lot of competition and there are only so many adeles out there. they don't happen is strictly as they used to with the bigger selling -- betty: maybe it will always be limited to the biggest stars. >> i think some of the second-tier or third tier acts are looking for distribution anyway they can get it. probably less focused on the per unit economics and more on the broader distribution of their music. betty: i want to bring up this chart. it's kind of an unfair comparison because apple is more than just about apple music. but i want to show just how much pandora has fallen. and get that sense of maybe with the on boarding of apple music willats music subscribers
10:56 am
start being converted to apple music. is this a challenge for spotify as well? >> i definitely think this was the year that things moved from radio like streaming to on-demand, which is why apple music came into the market. look at what pandora did last month. on that is betting behavior that people want to hear a specific song, not things that sound like a song. betty: andrew hampp, thank you so much. and paul sweeney, thank you as well. let's turn back to oil. oil is tumbling this morning, driving down the market. we're going to talk about the influence of opec. ♪

11:06 am
mohammed is basically saying, we're going to see volatile prices. the question is, how low for long? >> exactly. that's the million-dollar question. nobody can put their finger on it. that's exactly the problem with the market. they can't get comfortable enough to know how low will this go. wentany more jobs to cut, to get confidence and when to start drilling again. neededn adapt costs as based on the price of oil at a stable rate. if it's not stable, they almost rather not drill at all. betty: they are in no man's land in terms of certainty. given that, does that mean that opec is becoming more or less influential in the oil market
11:07 am
given what we saw on friday? >> this is exactly what opec it needs.feels a sense of uncertainty among his rival producers. facing a situation where the price of oil has fallen. they have adopted this policy a year ago of maintaining market share, of refusing to underwrite high-cost production. in vienna on friday can be seen as an escalation of that policy. rather than maintain a fictitious output ceiling that nobody is anywhere close to a hearing to. they have decided what in their view is the sense of thing and that is to abandon any kind of ceiling and allow their members to produce as they wish. most of them are already producing at or very close to capacity anyway. ones, you look at the big
11:08 am
none of them wants to cut production. saudi arabia started this policy in the first place. iran is looking at the end of sanctions and the ability to add a million barrels a day. iraq has already added three quarters of a million barrels over the last 12 to 18 months. there is no appetite. , the fact thatat they are kind of like -- you know what, you guys deal with it. we're just not going to put any numbers out anymore. does that mean that the markets don't listen as carefully going forward to what opec is going to say? >> i think the market will always listen to what opec says because they are still the only group of countries that have ever shown any attempt to manage the market by restricting supply. and several of the opec member countries, principally the gulf
11:09 am
arab countries, are the only countries in the world with any spare capacity who can raise their output quickly. nobody else can do. ist opec feels it has to do create an environment in which the growth in non-opec supplies close down to a sufficient level that there is room for growth in their own output. chart thate got a there are not just losers here in the oil markets. there are also some winners. asian refiners are seeing some of the best margins ever. given the plunge in oil prices. do they come out is the biggest winners so far? >> perhaps so. when you factor in that they can -- that oil is cheaper elsewhere based on the differential, then it's very possible. you've seen the middle east grow. whereas the u.s. is cutting back. you have this difference in the

price of the brent oil versus wti. there's definitely a difference. betty: what are ceos saying? what are these guys saying about when they think oil prices are going to rebound? >> widely speaking, i seem to hear a lot of people pointing to the second quarter of 2016 for went to watch this supply demand gap shrinking and getting tighter. at least as far as -- maybe not calling the bottom, but starting to see slowdown. and possibly a very slow uptake ick be in the -- upt maybe in the second half of 2016. betty: thank you, david wethe

any definition. what it is is a fractious trade association that can't agree on basic matters. >> is it having any effect on oil prices at this point? >> i think it's made affected by what it's not doing. this is an organization divided not only about oil prices but over the nuclear agreement with politics, theical struggle for dominance in the region. there is no trust and they are in very different positions. iran is saying he wants to come back into the market. the others don't particularly want to make room. do you see oil volatility prices being just as high in 2016? >> i don't see why that would change. we saw a dramatic move. if you look at this in the united states, you talk to people who are in the business, when oil is $92 a barrel, they

second is nigeria. the third one is iraq. 95% of its revenues come from oil and the imf came out with a report that said iraq faces an existential threat as a nation. keep your eye on that country, too. >> what does this mean for them? it was thought earlier that this would get putin's back against the wall. ruble has come down at the same time. so a lower oil prices and have the same impact on their budget. 42% of their budget is oil and gas. probably this year russia will contract under 5%. it's not the kind of crisis that was expected six or eight months ago. we have sanctions on russian a. russia is putting sanctions on
