>> david: welcome to "bloomberg ." we are particularly happy to have you with us, megan murphy, our washington bureau chief. bastian in a few minutes, taking over the chief executive role today. everyhe first monday of may, it meant a holiday at a bank holiday in london, meaning the ftse is closed. not me completing has not me complaining, i'm just informing. points.res up about 26

the global underperforming coming from the nikkei, closing down three for a percentage points, catching up with dollar yen. switch up the board and we would get to the fx market. we -- it is a weaker dollar story on the euro. that is a year-to-day high. just coming in a little bit following where crude is going down by .6 of 1% at $45.66. let's get across -- matt: a couple of them are the stories we have been watching all weekend long. yesterday afternoon is when we found this out, right? it feels like yesterday afternoon was the whole weekend for me because i took friday all the way to sunday. halliburton, baker use -- baker hughes calling on their merger. the second and third largest oil

service on sunday, the plan company -- jon: baker hughes is planning a .uyback they have that $3.5 billion to play with now. david: so much for the speculation they would be investing in technology and being more competitive. let's buy back some shares. megan: $3.5 billion coming back was always hugely controversial in that deal to begin with. never heard of a breakup fee in my career at bloomberg. megan: there was one that was 20%, the technology deal. this is not the largest ever in terms of market share. terms ofould think in dollars, which would be the most important, right? percentage could be a very small dollar amount. in any case, it is massive.

it is three years of halliburton fee.ts and one breakup another m&a story to talk about, a group led by apollo global management raised its bid to $10 share up from $9.54. it is 52% above apollo's price in january. gold is a story we have talked about all day today. hire for the sixth consecutive day, matching his longest -- matching its longest winning streak since 2014 and topping $1300 an ounce for the first time since january of last year. on theers are higher open. if you look year to date, with gold up more than 20% in 2016, rebounding from three years of annual the klein, you see massive gains -- of annual decline, you see massive gains.

newmont has doubled. gold is up 75%. jon: let's get back to the big story. two of the world's largest oil copies come a $28 billion merger on sunday. hughesrton and baker have announced determination of that merger. halliburton will pay bigger use -- baker hughes $3.5 billion. we have with us robin shoemaker, an analyst from key maker -- from keybank. we now know what they are going to do with $2.5 billion of the money. the headline broken the last couple of minutes or so. the conversation we had in our planning meeting this morning, what are they going to do with the $3.5 billion? is that a productive use of cash? >> it will actually be about

$2.8 billion after taxes, in that neighborhood. very little has debt, so this cash at this point in time can be used to repurchase stock. it is just the beginning of a revamp or resurrection of the company, which has been in limbo for 18 months and needs to come back with their customers, with their employees, with the financial community after a period where there has been a great deal of uncertainty. megan: do you think they stay in play now? robin: i don't believe so. we are in a stew downturn in the oil and gas drilling business. downturn in a steep the oil and gasoline business. they do not need to. they have plenty of cash and ample liquidity to survive the downturn and come out on the

other side. thed: when the announced deal in november of 2014, they had 1578 rigs. they have 332 today. they will have to whether a storm here. america is the worst downturn, but also internationally. baker hughes is a big player internationally as well. there is a growing downturn there. it is everywhere, basically. jon: i wonder what this means for halliburton. the president the week ago said that my definition of a losing market is when all companies are losing money. is that completely out of their control? robin: it is in terms of demand for oil services. oil prices have rebounded lately . if we get to the $50 level or higher, it is likely that u.s.

oil companies will want to start drilling again. megan: in terms of putting in was that age -- mistake, the level of confidence they must have had to say they were going to get the regulatory clearances that we need, and now they say it is not happening here it -- is not happening. robin: halliburton miscalculated, thought they to satisfyt enough any trust concerns, and they were wrong. david: there are some lawyers now to answer some tough questions, but they went in from the beginning and said we will sell anything that we need to sell. but the authorities are say we do not care what you sell. robin: the justice department's claim was that this merger would end up in a duopoly between schlumberger and halliburton, and that was a major concern, and that is the reason they blocked the deal. jon: to me it is obvious, you have the number two and three plan and schedule down to two, schlumberger and this combined company, there is going to be

resistance. fromhave we learned this merger, megan? there is another story. are seeing regulators more active and looking at plans to invest in saying that is not going to cut it this time around here it they have a plan in place. a very complex plan. regulators are saying we think it is too heart. -- we think it is too hard. i think it is regulated been quite active. david: who is celebrating today? not have as does fiercely competitive. but who else? are oil companies saying it is going to be cheaper to get services now? robin: it will create and establish and maintain more competition. i'm not sure who is celebrating today. sure they are happy that

the company is going to be isependent again, so that the winner here, if there is one. and now the business goes back to where it was. except that we are in a severe downturn that has no end insight. -- no end in sight. david: let's go to puerto rico. it is a big day in puerto rico. they are looking forward to a default of a 20 -- of a $244 million bond payment. joining us to discuss what it means for the island is pimco's global strategic advisor, richard clarida. there have been defaulted the past in puerto rico, and there may be some in the future. what is important about this one? richard: this one indicates the real challenges in puerto rico, the big item on the radar screen is in july there is a scheduled series of payments. the last u.s. state, for

was inal purposes -- arkansas in 1943. the republican-controlled congress is putting together a bill which might address the puerto rico situation. it is significant. megan: paul ryan has really staked a lot of his future and political capital on getting the bill through. it is caught up in infighting between republicans and democrats. where do you think it progresses from here? richard: you do not think of this as being a front burner issue for the republicans, but they have put a lot into it. i think the view of going to puerto rico -- i think that is the motivation. but he has his work cut out for him. there will be resistance. jon: every morning we used to wake up in europe with the g word, greece, and i used to have

to explain to people why it mattered for everyone else. as a wick up this morning, seeing this headline "puerto rico default," why should we care? richard: the broader issue is you have a huge municipal and local bond market, trillions of dollars. one of the key anchors of that market is in the general obligation part of it. good ates have been making payments on these debts, and to the extent that this muddies that water, it creates potential issues, which is why the legislative action is being drawn forward. david: the supreme court has said they will have a decision down by july 1, on whether puerto rico posco internal bankruptcy process will go forward. abbaye is that -- how big is that? an unusual circumstance in the united states is that they do not go through a traditional bankruptcy process. with puerto rico, it is an important issue.

clarida, you will stay with us the entire time. things again to robin shoemaker. we go to matt for first word news. matt: the u.s. is turning to russia for help in trying to revive the cease-fire in syria. secretary of state john kerry wants the russians to pressure their syrian government allies to stop or limit their attacks. last week dozens of people were killed in the city of aleppo, when syrian warplanes attacked. the departure as the brussels air has -- as the brussels airport has reopened since the terror attacks in march. the suicide bombings killed 16 people. the airportsay should be back at 100% capacity by the middle of next month. used pepperpolice spray to break up capitalist demonstrators that turned violent. protesters or gasoline bombs -- hurled ethylene bonds and bricks.

opportunity still to be had. erik: where? latin america, brazil. there will be long-term growth and opportunity, through central america and mexico, which is a deal we hope to close by the end of the year. the largest city in the world, mexico city, is sitting across our border. a big opportunity year bank. opportunity.an the u.s.-china traffic next year will be the largest -- we have made an investment in china eastern. i think shanghai will continue to become not just the commercial capital of china, but long-term the commercial capital of asia. erik: a lot of capacity has been added between the u.s. and china. are you making money on those routes right now? ed: we are. not as much as we would like to, but there are restrictions about how much capacity can be added going forward. chinese airlines are running up against their capacity caps.

you will see the capacity start to moderate in the next couple of years. that will allow both chinese and u.s. carriers to harvest a little more of the investments they have made. erik: what is the longer-term plan, as you look out 10 years. you have this investment in china eastern, and do you anticipate or envision an open skies agreement between the u.s. and china? ed: i sure hope so. you listen to the political rhetoric, i am not sure where the view was are. but from a long-term commercial perspective and a trade perspective, absolutely. when you look at the success we have had with our partners in europe, building the most successful jv and the world, our , look tontic jv re-create that now in latin america, where it would be mexico or brazil or another developing market. there is no reason we cannot long-term have that in china.

it is a little difficult because the cost of the airplane when you fly between the u.s. and , it is an incredibly expensive investment. that will moderate -- that will modulate level of growth over time, but we can certainly enhance our prospects. erik: would you go so far as to say it is something you are counting on? ed: it is something that is going to happen. you need to be out in front of it. erik: is that when you mean when you talk about turning shanghai into a hub for delta? ed: long-term. shanghai will be an important market for connecting. there are so many cities within china, a multibillion population mass probably that cannot afford direct service to the u.s. they are not large enough markets for u.s. travel, with a feed into shanghai and beijing. we have a great partner in guangzhou, in the chinese self.

economy. we have seen negative corporate profits results. these were all negative omens for the pace of hiring. if we can hold up to hundred thousand or better, that is the all clear for the economy. if it is weaker, it will really start to rattle forecasters' pages and worry them. david: rich clarida, what do you look at in the meaning beneath these numbers? soft sixhave had a months in the u.s. economy, so we are looking to see a rebound. the best case is we will see one. there is seasonality. the other part of the labor market is that because of the demography and what is happening in the labor force, caps on the next year we will have to get used to a successful payload friday. one thing the fed is looking at in labore seen tick up

driverless car. we talked with david welch out in michigan. david: chrysler really has done very little in terms of autonomous vehicles. google is seen as the leader and developing cars that can drive themselves. they tested a car for more than 1.4 million miles. fiat chrysler does not have any others technology, or at least in its early stages, they really need a partner like this. most a year ago, marchionne put confession,entation where he basically said fiat chrysler needs a merger partner, because they could not afford the new technology. a year on, no one has bought his company or merged, so now he has to find partners to develop this. david: according to your reporting, they will start with ca, which is a

minivan. why are they starting their? david w.: a lot of when this will come out is to be determined. but that is a good place to start, because it is a minivan. pragmatic. if you have a self driving car and want to use this for ridesharing or something like fleetsome kind of cab or application, a minivan is a great place to start. they will probably use this for testing first, because no one has approval from the government. the government has not even approved -- has not even figured out how to improve self driving cars on the road. so it will be a wild. -- a while. paciwill probably use the real sizedns to test cars consider the egg-shaped cars. >> there has been debate between

carmakers about different strategies to take and how aggressive the government will be. david w.: the government has only said they will get testimony over the next six months. that is where we are. everyone is struggling with what they are going to have to do. so they just continued to test the technology in different cars and environments, whether it be in cities, highways, on snow. they are just trying to get this technology ready for any driving situation, so when the government comes out with protocols, they will be ready to go. matt: what i have been trying to do is look at the ratios of tios ofgoods -- p.e. ra luxury goods. sergio exactly what wanted to do. bring ferrari's valuation up to

a luxury good. this is a carmaker's p.e. racier. chrysler.iat obviously a much poorer valuation. i wonder if you think that adding google technology to fiat chrysler will help lift its valuation higher to that of a flowery -- a ferrari? not that hard. one of the problems fiat thesler has is they traded worst multiple of any major car company, except maybe one other competitor. they trade below forward -- bel ow ford, gm. you really have to add some great technology to fiat chrysler's cars to get there. they sell stuff at the lowest in

the market. they are a pure mass-market car company. they sell to rental fleets, more than most competitors. everyone else is developing south -- self driving cars as well. david: talk about the other majors. ford and gm. could they do a similar deal with google or are there other companies? already: general motors bought a company called cruise automation. ford has been testing its own cars for self driving capability. so has gm. could they do a deal with google to provide cars? sure. google needs cars, because they do not have factories. they are a software writer. they are developing the capabilities and will put this in the dashboard and brains of

the car, but they need someone to make it. whether or not the deal is exclusive will be interesting, because maybe they just want a minivan out of chrysler and would want a catalog rum general motors and a pickup rom -- maybe they want a cadillac from general motors and a pickup from ford. up, how acoming weaker dollar has been a boom for some downbeat and commodities. around 40 minutes from the open. futures positive across the board. ♪

high and is leveraged. marketse rest fight is coming down. in my view, you have a risk premier coming down. but they need to sustain with earnings coming through. a struggle in terms of the economic situation transpiring into earnings. megan: what sectors should be watched for the most for the upside? conrad: it has to come from the domestic sector. the bigger one is financials geared domestically. this is still not positive, though they are positive on political change. the financial sector third gives you an indication on credit, and credit cycle. number two is the domestic and section that is or should take up. that is the challenge. in the corruption scandal, it

spread to the construction area. so that should take up. that should have a domino effect. jonathan: the liquidity delusion that mohamed el-erian would call it. i am talking about the petrobras just overome down to 9% in the yield. if you are buying that i want to back out, can you? conrad: i am on the equity front, but i think bonds in brazil are one of the highest yielding markets. risk was the currency isment, but liquidity now there. you never know when that could turn on you. front, in the equity would stay liquid. because i am not sure when the tide goes out and there is an

people back in or convince them to stay. they will also have to restructure, because the price of oil fell 50% the last 15 or 16 months. david: what has been going wrong? they announced originally in 2014. they have been upfront in saying we will sell things and make a deal with regulators. deals --y work closely they were close with deals with ge. -- with ge. have beenc and doj applying more scrutiny, especially the very big deals. they would say this would create duopoly in the oil services field. five years ago, this would have gotten through. but today, this is the most scrutiny i have seen for really big deals in a long time.

the level of confidence halliburton had to express that they would be able to get this through, and it climate that is rapidly changing -- and we had office depot and stables going through now -- but is this a new tone for regulators or did they just overestimate how they would be able to get done in selling assets? all of these really big deals in 2015, when dow and dupont came together, when pfizer tried to do its deal. regulators have elevated this green knee of these really big deals. the was a big deal before run of big deals in 2015, but it is running into the wall -- these regulators trying to block these big deals. we have health insurance deals coming up shortly. four of the five largest health insurance companies merged last

default on a 422 million dollar bond payment for its development bank. joining us to discuss this is michelle caskey. michelle: what has happened is that the government development bank will default on this may 1 payment. the governor made the announcement yesterday in a televised address. is, there is an agreement with some bondholders but unfortunately, the island has another bigger payment on june 1 of $2 billion. megan: tell us how you think this will change. paul ryan has been pushing congress to get this bill through. what do you think will happen? michelle: i think there is going to be a lot of negotiating going on between bondholders and puerto rico. puerto rico wants to get a broad level restructuring done where they lower their 70 billion debt

status. whether they can get that done by july 1 is a big if, and what is going to come out of congress ? how soon could they pass something? david: what is the recourse for the bondholders that the default is happening today? can they sue and try to seize assets? michelle: one thing that did help the gdb is the bondholders agreed to a forbearance. that will keep discussions out of court for a while. that is temporary and at some point, if the bondholders feel that the discussions are not moving along, they are not getting what they need, they can seek legal recourse. the downside is, compared to some other puerto rico debt, it is unclear how strong a repayment pledge the gdb bonds are. if the bank does not have money, the bank cannot pay. matt: i am looking at this gdb bond, the four point 27 coupon.

back in march the commonwealth suggested a 36 sent recovery price. do you think there will be negotiations to get back there, or is that the hope the creditors have? agreed towhat they yesterday was an eventual 47% recovery rate. that is higher than what puerto rico offer them last month. ,ondholders must like that although i'm sure they would even like something more than 47%. matt: on the july 1 bonds, we now have a 300% yield so if you want to put it all on red 21, it is a gamble. jonathan: i am not sure you are in that market. my question to you, michelle, the same way we talked about greece, cut the debt pile down, what is to stop it from piling up again? michelle: that is hopefully

where congress can help out. when issues they are talking about is creating a financial control board similar to what they have in d.c. and new york city in the 1970's. they are hoping that will help get puerto rico on track, get them to create balanced budgets over a number of years. jonathan: thank you very much for breaking down. the complex story. david: i agree with you. megan: we are talking about the fed. friday was jobs day and economists predicting 200,000 jobs were added in april. for more, let's turn to drew matus. drew, but are we looking for on friday? will we get over 200? drew: we will probably get 200 and see the unemployment rate dropped and we should see some wage gains. i think that combination will be quite favorable.

megan: that is the one number we're looking at. how big do you think the gains will be? drew: i think we will see 3/10 on the much. we think we are running out of spare capacity in the labor market and that puts upward pressure on the race -- wages. megan: how is this going to weigh on the fed? what to think they will be looking at most? >> you could look at the whole report and i think we are pretty optimistic that either this report or certainly subsequent reports will continue to see a wage pickup. we will see the unemployment , andflat or falling continue solid job games. -- job gains. i think the data flow with the risk trading market will support a rate hike this summer. jonathan: looking ahead, we had a conversation earlier, the idea

as you get closer to full or employment job gains will slow down. for the markets, do you think the market is prepared for that kind of a shift, that kind of a divergence, or they will read it incorrectly? drew: that is a great question. it will probably be coming at the time when margins are under greater pressure, so it is going to look bad, but that is the place to fade it. we all know it is darkest before the dawn and in the labor market, that is one it is darkest. the jobs market is telling you the fed has to move rates higher but they are waiting for some signal inflation is ok. david: we talk about unemployment and wage levels but do not talk as much about underemployment.

how important is that number? those are people on the fence who would like to work more. what matters to me is the part-time people who want full-time employment but that is the troubling part. we do not know what level is due to the affordable care act. there has been a significant policy shift which might have changed the number of people we can expect to fit into that category or who can come out. david: ethan, do you agree? ethan: i think if you look at the u6 broadly we are still slightly elevated but we have come down a long way. particularly in the past two years we have seen a big drop. it,atter how you measure the labor markets are near full employment or at full employment. megan: let's talk a little bit about spending and where we are. what is holding american consumers back in terms of anticipated growth and wages?

drew: there is very low interest rates. there is the perversity of high savings at low interest rate levels. i think part of it is that there unease,eral feeling of also might be the result of low interest rates. i think the consumer would like to look ahead and be able to see with some clarity what is going on. unfortunately, we are just unable to get a clear view of anything right now, at least from the consumer pass perspective. -- consumer's perspective. i tried to avoid sentiment measures because often the consumer says one thing or does another, or they feel bad and that causes them to spend to feel better. i am looking at the numbers themselves and what area are they spending money in, how much are they saving because that tells you how concerned they are about the future. jonathan: going forward to june,

how does the fed negative it from where they are now to the pivot fromve it -- where they are now? isan: i think communication a little bit confusing and stale. the market is pricing at a very low probability of a hike. i think as we get closer to the meeting and as the data begins to look healthy, the probability of a hike will go up. but they need to do some talking . we need to hear more from fed speakers and hear them push this idea that the summer is the right time to hike. i think that will happen over the course of the next six weeks. you think the uncertainty around the u.s. political election is weighing on consumer sentiment, or this lack of certainty that is holding them back? ethan: i think there is a lot of

things weighing on the consumer. correctionstwo big in the equity markets in the last year so that has made people a little bit nervous, and the election is probably having a small negative affect. what we are seeing in the election is just an extension of what has been going on years now . if you look for gallup poll's, congress has a 17% approval rating. even these presidential candidates have higher approval ratings than that. it adds a new layer of ugliness to the political discourse, but i do not think it is new so we have kind of gotten used to it. megan: that is drew matus and ethan harris. david: coming up next, one country is shutting down some important streaming systems in apple. we will look at what this means for apple next. ♪

sale, that may not make for the long-term success of xiaomi. it is interesting to look where apple is. i think you're highlighting of ibook and itunes is a big deal, even though neither of those have been big successes as of late because as the world is getting more and more saturated with devices and the refreshment cycle is getting longer and longer, apple is counting on revenues from services to support the company. if china is not going to participate, if what has been half of their market is not going to participate, that is worrisome. apple in this period where they need something new, they need a new product or they need to tighten the refreshment cycle, or they need something new, the latest and greatest? corey: the ipad has had

fantastic success but the sales have fallen in nine quarters. the watch has been a fantastic success. they have sold more apple watches in the first year than iphones in the first year. the company is so big that nothing seems to move the battleship. it really is an iphone business. or iphone sales so nothing has come close to that, even the mac-ish -- macintosh business. david: when it comes to china, it is not just apple. facebook was shut out, alibaba is coming up and challenging, and china has been aggressive at protecting their domestic injured -- industry. corey: linked in has found success to get into china and has some sort of agreement with government censors to allow, but they do not fully explain or feel a comfortable with it, but

average s&p in general, but the blue line is energy stocks. of course the pe on energy stocks has soared to above a hundred as earnings have fallen out. the second most highly valued sector of 10 s&p industry groups is consumer staples, food, beverages, and tobacco. they are trading at such a high premium it is not a good place to look at for defense according to barclays. david: that is a really good chart. i am going to show you my chart. ons is basically picking up mohamed el-erian. he says negative interest rates are not productive. we have taken the relative strength of the u.s. dollar as opposed to the yen and euro and have plotted against the various act of stimulation the central

things had to be a little stagnant for a moment. we will look for more cuts. that's what they talked about this morning. or jobs will be cut. it makes baker hughes look stronger. the large service companies .eported a loss this is a stark thing that we've seen. they are in something of a storm. we see reduced production in the united states. how are they going to whether this? david: they will weather through technology. they will try to bundle different things together. four bighave three or providers out there. the rest of their competitors are smaller and offer only two

or three service lines. they offer the bundling of packages you need at the well to drill it, to find the oil. they are going to rely on their technology a lot. why's one of the reasons halliburton really liked baker hughes. they will rely on using other technologies to boost efficiency. they want to get more bang for their buck. jonathan: we were looking at this price tag. we said what are they going to do with the cash? they are going to buy back stock that's number that popped out at me instantly.

there is no election in the stock market. this is compared to the pfizer deal falling through. i do wonder if there will be a confidence. jonathan: if everybody knew this was not going to come in, why did they allow themselves to be in a position? i would be sitting here saying giving away $3.5 billion, everyone knew it wasn't going to go through. why did they allow that to happen? david: it shows the confidence of halliburton. they were willing to put that much on the table to show they thought it would go through. as one analyst told me, maybe

they made to much of a stroke and trying to take too much all at once. putting up the $3.5 billion shows their confidence it would get done. we are moving on to number two. puerto rico will default on a bond payment. this may lead to more consequential defaults. on july 1.billion what are you taking away from the announcement we had yesterday that they are going to default? michael: how does this affect the overall market? i am surprised this isn't making people nervous. if you look at puerto rico, would you compare this to detroit or greece? it's a none of the above. much in the

municipal bond market the compares to puerto rico. every time a greece yield would ride, you would watch portugal and spain rise. it's its own animal there. megan: puerto rico is just puerto rico? expert, it is so isolated that they are calling this the biggest crisis in the bond market. this is something everyone is looking at. their situation is so isolated. they can't go through bankruptcy courts. there's not another puerto rico sitting out there. to deal: no nomination with. the yen. they are at an 18 month high. on dollar yen.

this dollar weakness yen strength story, we've got a decision to make. you've got a weaker dollar and the boj that does not want to do much and you've got general risk sentiment. what is the signaling coming for you? michael: david was talking about it earlier. there's an fun column today. this is gotten counter intuitive. we are at negative yields now. the relationships to used to exist, you can expect more central-bank stimulus to lead through a weikel -- weaker currency. it's more counterintuitive now. we can expect more volatility. moves that by not make sense using the old playbook. confidencemuch of a

inducing answer. traditionally, you go to stocks and take more risk with more return. when you see the central banks all doing this for an extended time. it doesn't make you inclined to take a lot of risk. the central banks don't see a lot of good news. michael: this is lasted so long now. it makes you wonder how much more can you get out of it? at least at the highs a couple weeks ago, the highest valuations of the bull market cycle. that's going to be a tough thing to get past without a strong confidence that the risk is valid. jonathan: those are three of the stories that matter to markets. to michaelhanks reagan.

i was struck by what he said about growth. tot have they done at delta pursue that mexican market? george: they've been expanding quite dramatically their flights into latin america for the last couple of years. they are pursuing this. the recent downturn in brazil has made it more challenging. they put a lot of capacity into latin america. david: what margins can they get? it's a tough business. i think the most incremental markets are probably negative. it they are probably losing a profitability. double-digit changes in yield. the yield is how we measure affairs at the airline. they've been gaining ground on

lower fuel costs. that's given them 900 basis points of margin. they are losing 18%. their ticket prices have gone down 18%. it's been less profitable this year than last year. matt: we are showing the year to date. i pulled up an old chart. this is airline stock. the price earnings ratio is in yellow. that's got lower. they are really cheap. we have not seen a ratio that cheap since 2014. why are they so cheap? does that mean investors think this is a good buy right now?

george: investors are telling you they are afraid of them. the challenge here is lower fuel prices have improved margins a lot. would help stock move the share price. they are concerned it's going to give away that money on the top line. they will stop -- keep cutting fares. that's going to bruise profitability over time. that's what we see. that's why they are so cheap. airlines never trade at a market multiple anyway. it's a volatile business. delta is arguing that they are different. they are high-value industrial. of that all investors have bought off on that idea. david: the new ceo of delta talked about us -- expanding to china. that allows for bilateral

agreements into china. agreementsre are that set the caps on how many flights we can get in there. i do know so much that that's going to be the big thing on china. beennses the chinese have romantically expanding their international capacity. they aren't focused on profitability. they are focused on market share. will be to try and fly to china and do it profitably while the chinese carriers are adding so much capacity at lower fares. they are doing it by getting to some of the smaller cities. they will try to fly to smaller markets to get better fares for that direct flight. david: thanks very much george ferguson. latest fore have the

waiting for his switch to become ceo of ferreri. that is many roles as ceo. jonathan: did you say what happened before considering they can boost volume? matt: they can do whatever they want. this is why hedge funds have gotten into the stock. there is a position in a ferrari. they expect sergio to broaden sales, to sell more cars essentially. what a keep it very exclusive. jonathan: thank you very much. it's a rough start to the year. the s&p has rallied in the last 10 weeks. says it willa close at 2200 points by the end of the year. talk to me about what's

underpinning this market. many cliches that mean nothing. what is actually happening? jonathan: we think it's time to have a little bit of a pause. think what you do right now is start to take advantage of the big rally. you some safer stocks in the portfolio. we might sell off a little bit. we think some potential catalysts are going to be things like the dollar. you had good chart up earlier. the dollar is crucial to the market. we think the weaknesses run its course. you've got softer data on the economics run overseas. those things can inspired to kill this rally. now, safenges right stocks are really expensive. how you find safe stocks without

falling into the trap overpaying? when you talk about what factors we may see coming up, there could be a good number friday in terms of jobs. how much longer does this rally have to run? the labor data has been the shining star for the u.s. economy. worried theple were economy was slipping into recession, we focused on the labor day to and it looked great. jobless games are at a 40 year low. i think labor is going to be the thing that keeps people confident that the economy is in good shape. it's a little ways down the list in terms of our concerns. where more worried about the dollar strengthening. david: what about moving up the line? what about earnings as a concern? bit of a that's a concern. this is been a weak quarter for the s&p. we think it's going to get

better by the end of the year. we predict you get 4% growth over the course of the year. when i think about earnings of the big challenge with them, it's more about earnings quality. we talked about this in some of our research. it's very right now. our estimates for the year are just 111. many are predicting more. we think we are taking a more conservative view. hold that thought. the market open is just under four minutes away. futures are up across the board here in the united states. ♪

jonathan: they're just moments away from the opening bell. let me get you up to speed on where we are.

dow futures are higher by 45 points. s&p is up around six. japan is getting back to work monday. bell, hear the opening let me get you to the fx market. through dollar is up 115. we come back in touch. it's a weaker dollar story. the yield is a little bit higher. what a month it was. 20% for themost month of april. that's $46 a barrel. take a look at green on the screen. at 2000 69. -- 2069. all three are up today. take a look at my terminal.

you can see almost all of the sectors are rising. telecoms, financials, consumer discretionary are leading the way. the only thing down his energy. there is very little change there. it should be a light read on that screen. as far as the stocks that are moving, halliburton and baker hughes are ones we want to keep nine after calling off their merger. we've talked about this all morning. they were against it. there were antitrust concerns. bakerurton will pay hughes a frequent $5 billion breakup fee. it doesn't seem to be hurting chairs at all. this is good for warehouse or's down a little bit on the day. apple is a huge player in the market. wow,if you don't see --

it's turned down. it was up in the market. we were looking at about a half percent. there is a little bit of a turnaround in apple. this would be the eighth day of losses if the continues down. it's only off three hundredths of 1%. there were slowing iphone sales. gold has been on a tear. 2015.t the highest since this matches the longest winning streak we've seen since last year. the top trade of the year, you did well. goldman sachs says it's going to come down to 1100. we just heard that if we get past 1325, we could see a breakthrough. watch gold very closely.

we have eight days of losses, that's the largest sense 2004. describinga note now it. it's incredibly expensive, not just gold equity markets as well. where'd he go to get that safety without paying a huge premium to get it. jonathan: matt great chart earlier. we ran into the same things. we looked at staples. that's probably the first move you would do if you wanted to get safer. it's just too expensive. they looked the stocks of companies with low balance sheet leverage. those are cheap, but they don't give you the protection you want in a down trending market. we moved onto low volatility stocks. they do a great job of protecting the portfolio.

expensive. we came up with salt record of approach where you look for stocks that have low volatility. you put on top of that a valuation constraint. ratiost companies whose are not high in relation to where they normally are. typical pe ratio of 18 times, you look for 16 and not 22. you can get these safer stocks without overpaying for them. jonathan: caucus to the chart. matt: thank you. i one battle of the charts today. i appreciate it. consumer staples stocks are in white. 22 times forward earnings. it's coming down a little bit. the s&p i have here in purple ink. you can see it trading at 18

times forward earnings. but i found shocking is the fact that consumer staples are the second most expensive groups after energy. this is unreal. the p/e ratio on the energy sector is above 100. it's amazing how expensive. you can't even count what's going on in energy. jonathan: make sure you have a valuation. what's the glitch in the marketplace. what you are saying is the market is miss pricing the stock. why is that?

say is theset we are the names the market has not identified. method kicks out a lot of utility stocks. that has had such a big rally with interest rates falling. thatisolating the company hasn't rally yet. we back tested the strategy over the last 15 years. it worked really well. it's helping you pick stocks that haven't rallied already. let's take a look at some of those names. financials are the place for there be room to run. where do you see that developing in terms of individually picking the stocks after people and building a portfolio? megan: we like the financial sector. it is an expensive.

it's been one of the worst performing this year. that has a lot of upside. we develop this quantitative approach. stockstor with the most was the financial sector. we thought that was a little bit of a validation for our preference for that sector. you mentioned to some of the names in there. that thego was one sector identified as attractive. looking for are the lower volatility stocks within financials. most of them do look cheap versus where they have been. david: is there similar analysis for defense? is a little bit more of a defensive area within it. i think it's the surprise that the defense companies like lockheed martin were identified. megan: i want to print my terminal right now. jonathan: you mentioned p/e

ratios. dips down toward what is a weak spot. you pull back again. based on that chart, do you look at that? is that fully valued? it's a term i don't like. is that what they are saying? there's notnathan: a lot of evidence when you hear valued." fully if you had a 10 year time rise, i would say that's extremely important to your returns. valuation is such a strong predictor. a's almost meaningless for three or six month stock. jonathan: you've given us some ideas. they are heavily rated.

my question to you is why not just go to cash? jonathan: many investors can't do that. the reasons why you see sectors like consumer staples trade with the premium valuation at that they have. you are getting nervous. you don't move your portfolio into cash. bonds out and you find like stocks. the interesting thing is ever since the financial crisis, safer stocks of been trading at a premium. in order to exit the equity market, that's one of the reasons. jonathan: thank you very much for joining the program. up next, puerto rico announced it will default on the $400 million on payment it has today. what does that mean for the island? ♪

this has been expected and generally known. they still have until the end of the day to work with creditors. they do they have a forbearance agreement or solution. need 100% of the creditors to do that. they have defaulted on two different entities. this is in the market. the problem is july 1. that's always been thought of as the gold standard of the market. the headlines are going to be sensational around that time. is this having any effects of the bond market? it's isolated. they are unique. it all around a weak economy and a high level of debt. they can technically afford to

raise taxes and pay for it. that's not the case in puerto rico. it. has been widely expect it's been coming for the last few years. investors were either comfortable or not. they sold it. we see a much different set of investors get involved. that's making the workout process more comfortable. it's not goings to impact the market. retail can be very reactive to negative headlines. we are paying attention to that. on july: the attention 1, i'm adjusted in the use of the word headlines. peter: the market is pretty big. it's 3.7 trillion. it's different than other fixed income asset classes.

they don't all have problems. two thirds of the market as revenue based. one third is general obligation. rico of places like puerto has a pension problem and missable bet outstanding. it's the association of those two. we see the effect of spreads on upon prices in places like new jersey and illinois. that will grab more headlines. it's going to be interesting to see how investors react. is congress's responsibility in this? is staking a lot of political capital on getting something done. peter: that's a very tough question. they are going into recess.

it may happen next week when they come back. they need to get bipartisan support in the house and that it needs to pass the senate. there is a critical time element. i'm not going to handicap whether they get it done or not. it's growing increasingly difficult. they need to restructure their debt. it's a two-pronged approach. congress like to play a part of it. it will be a humanitarian need. they don't have a framework to restructure. that's what congress is time to provide. it simply it's less litigious. david: up next, it's bloomberg markets with betty liu and mark barton. park is joining us.
