julie: you see all three major tool, the quote, and play to influence oil prices. using it for 35 averages are little changed after falling as much as half a percent. years. so that is one strike against them. they will say that they are if you look at the s&p 500, it unified in the believe that the is just shy of 2100. that has been a tough level for market is ok taking care of itself with oil prices racing. the s&p. -- oil prices rising. 2100 is sort of the upward bound have been bickering about of what we have seen from the who will be the index. secretary-general for the past it has had trouble staying above that level for any extended four years. the current secretary-general, his term is mandated -- expired period of time. many, many years ago and he wants to retire. they finally chose a new secretary-general. health care shares are on the rise. so some say at least they can you is still energy in the decide something. losing spot here. so they can kick the can down the road in reinstating the energy earlier, as a group, was architecture that makes opec meaningful. done as much as 1%. we will have the see what happens in the summer. now it is down .6%. but at least they will say they have a new leader. scarlet: good point. is outpacing the declines saudi arabia has a new oil are as well who made his debut at in energy, down about .6% as this meeting. well. how did he do/rya -- how did he looking at some of the declines we are watching today, oracle is do?
12:02 pm

12:03 pm
less animosity at this meeting. we saw a steep decline in the is that because oil prices have price of oil. recovered and near $50 a barrel? to anad not come ryan: if oil was thinking, there agreement. would have -- there would have that was here. you can see it punch pretty sharply. but since then, it has turned not been any agreement in that around and now it is higher by room. .4 pratt -- .4%. haveold countries that been backing this policy of stepping away from the market there was a decline in and letting it take itself will , you know, the world inventories in crude oil, specifically. reason that oil it was smaller than estimated, but there was a decline. there was a larger than prices are doing well as we are estimated the klein in gasoline geniuses. the strategy is working. -- decline in gasoline. thee is the other camp, venezuelans for example, who if you look at the comparable were taught me, not so fast. that is because we have had a four-we period one year ago. lot of supply disruption. demand isng uptick in of oil tanks in the second half of the year, despite opec saying they don't think that is going to happen, i think something that is helping oil you can count on a lot of the prices. scarlet: we will check in with acrimony returning. scarlet: thank you very much. ryan chilcote for more on the results out of the opec meeting with oil, i want to let's checkantime, bring in word reynolds -- worn in with mark crumpton. mark: hillary clinton said to

federal prosecutors are trying how significant is his to block the payments on life insurance policies taken out by appointment as long as saudi one of the san bernadino gunman. arabia visits own way and building a lot of the influence indirectly? syed farook names his mother as warren i don't: think the new up will have a significant impact on the market. saudi arabia has clearly stated its use and how they intend on beneficiary of two policies. 14 people were killed in the --ember attack here for an progress in with production in pursuing market share. i don't think that is something they plan to give up in the near december attack. future. ,owever, they have highlighted farouk and his wife are killed in a shootout with police. in an extreme event where you do have financial crisis or something along those lines, that they would expect that opec would be able to come together scarlet: as julie was telling and form some sort of agreement. , output ismeantime us, opec ministers have wrapped up their meeting in the end of your ryan spoke exclusively with the secretary-general. likely to remain elevated out of that country. scarlet: and i just want to bring you inside the bloomberg for a chart, a great one that >> i think you have to give opec shows opec has a history of credit for being the only imposing these production quotas organization that i know that . had witnessed such turmoil as the wireline is the group
12:06 pm
production, which they did not members and yet change. of course, the actual production, the light blue line, has far surpassed that it that has been the theme all along here. heading into the opec meeting, there was speculation that opec would have run a new production target. how credible was that talk, given they haven't agreed on much since oil prices began tumbling? warren is difficult for them to come: to an agreement on something like this, especially with iran ramping up. earlier, i think a few days ago, maybe yesterday, iran's adjusted they reimpose the country level quote is, which i also think is very difficult to do, given the risk of supply disruptions and the ongoing disruptions we are today. scarlet: speaking of those disruptions, when it comes to supply outages, to what aches extentsupply -- to what
12:07 pm
do supply outages -- atry opec member are looking prices. : the outages we have seen recently have allowed opec to dodge a bullet as far as, you know, low prices heading into june. when you look at where the of 2016, wen q1 were looking at a market where bound toe was not occur in total latter 2016 or in 017. we are in a deficit at the moment and we are likely to be in a deficit next year. there are countries that would bring supply back online, like nigeria and venezuela. highly unlikely to have that happen. .
12:08 pm
venezuela has its own financial issues and nigeria has internal conflict, which we don't necessarily see ending anytime soon. those are two of the countries that are most stressed by low oil prices. unfortunately, they are the ones that are sort of being kicked while they are down with supply declining. scarlet: and the final question, when he comes to u.s. production, crude production .eaked . break it down for us on where you see it by the end of this year. war we are expecting total liquids applied toren: best to decline by 300,000 barrels a day. you are looking at growth in the gulf of mexico and potential growth in ngo's as well.

confident that what we will be doing as part of our review of the stress test system that we postis to change the stress requirements for the amount of capital that banks , even after absorbing the losses that are hypothesized in the stress scenario. and specifically, and we talked a little bit about this on your program last november, but i'm quite confident now this is the direction in which we are moving , ispecifically, we will think, be requiring that come even after we take the stress tests into account, but for the eight largest u.s. institutions, they will need both to have some straightforward minimum capital levels that all banks have to have, but also they would have to be above the minimum capital, plus the capital surcharge that we place on those eight institutions. that -- there will be some
12:13 pm
offsets in parts of the stress tests so it won't be just a straight addition of the surcharge. but effectively, this will be a significant increase in capital. and to anticipate your next question, why? the same reason we put the surcharge is in place initially. we need to have those eight systemically important institutions more resilient than the other banks in the economy. you can have a smaller bank fail and the economy can absorb that. institutions,st obviously, there is much more of a systemic risk and we need to achieve that in a post stress and as well as any pre-stress environment. the second thing i would say, as rigorousesting, we can't anticipating -- we can't anticipate all things happening. for that reason, we have to be a little bit humble about how much we have addicted and how much
12:14 pm
capital there is available to .bsorb an anticipated losses david: you have a surcharge already above international requirements. would you anticipate the same amount of surcharge or something less that you would require in normal circumstances? >> what i would anticipate is that the surcharge edition will -- addition will be required on an ongoing static basis. jump from thatot conclusion to the proposition that you should just, for example, take last year's stress test and add the surcharges required in the amount of capital care because we will be making some minor adjustments in the stress test and there are some things put in the stress test over time that are quite conservative assumptions that were meant to take into account some of the same factors, the
12:15 pm
unknown unknown, the fact that we needed more resiliency in the biggest and the titian's -- biggest institutions. inuming we do go forward that explicit way, some of those things we put in place to or -- before might be adjusted as well. so while there will be a significant increase, it will not be as if it were dollar for dollar. david: if you go ahead as you would expect to, what would be the timing when this would take effect? would it the in time for the next round of stress tests? i would suspect not, although we haven't made a decision on that. i actually think it will getably important for us to a proposal out in enough time for institutions to begin planning for the increased surcharge. just as originally with the stress test we were freezing may be anere, there

view that they have the assets to get the eurozone back on track and it is now up to the governments to take the steps. but it is not clear if that is having an effect in we see friends trying to push through some reforms and we see a huge amount of backlash there. but i think also in terms of the big questions the eurozone is facing, what is the future architecture of the eurozone and will there be future -- will there be some fiscal and political applications -- this has been left to the long grass. draghi is pushing for the eurozone to face up to this. realistically, i don't think that will happen until after the french and german elections. i think we will hear more of these comments from draghi over the next year falling on deaf ears until we have those elections out of the way. scarlet: falling on deaf ears is

that it involved the states craft of wall street deals which he had learned as a lawyer at dewey valentine, as an associate/ vp and when he became a managing director at park hill which was a business that bought and sold and buys funds and bought secondary positions and things like that. all of those little tricks of the trade that he learned during those years doing that, he used to manufacture this business opportunity. it was totally convoluted. you could not positively do it if you thought of out it but we will give you a piece of a secured loan and we will pay you 15% interest. right there, you should stop and say bernie made off did not promise anyone 15% interest. if you dug into it, he said the loan was not needed after all.

harvard and princeton law school and these first-rate firms supposedly where he learned his craft. scarlet: he swindled his family and his friends. how did it all unravel? bill: apparently that wasn't not enough money and he had to continue to swindle. he sent this out to a lot of people and most of them obviously turned him down. then he sent it to a friend of him from princeton, james mcintyre, who was working at moore capital and he was working partially to invest some of the more capital foundation funds. for some reason, james mcintyre who is the golden boy of princeton who was a lacrosse player, bought off on this idea and sent him $25 million.
1:10 pm
andrew took the money thinking he can't believe someone game it is money and gambled with it and lost it and went back again to mcintyre and this time the whole thing unraveled. scarlet: why did he do this? that's probably a question for a psychiatrist. 9/11irst fiance died in and his father committed suicide and was not what he thought and i'm sure he has addiction problems both to alcohol as was said by the court and gambling. could not resist the opportunity to do this. it's very sad, actually. scarlet: did anyone declined to talk to you about this? the family is closed tighter than a drum. they would not talk about this but as a result of people who knew him as well as what an investigator for the southern

canada and china? >> the growth between canada and china in trade has been exponential compared to canada's traditional trade partners. on this chart you can see how much that has out taste others. exports from canada to china total $16.5 billion at the end of last year. it's a relationship that potentially might get to the point of talks on a free trade deal. moment, free-trade deal between canada and china is an ottawa conversation, not something where there has been an official announcement. there is thought that they are trying to move closer to that. justet: when we talk about intrude oh, he is part of a canadian political dynasty. trudeauus about the air 's legacy is part of this connection to china. trudeau isliott revered in china.

he published a book when he came to power back in 1968. regarding china. he was enamored with china and it seems the prescription for trade between china and canada back in the 1970's was created under the auspices of pierre trudeau and the leaders of china helped open up other western countries to china and trade. that's how it fits in the history. just injured oh is trying to build on that legacy as he looks to further trade -- justin trudeau is trying to build on that legacy. the former ambassador to beijing said this long relationship with china is something that probably needs revising but it is something that is front and center in their foreign-policy world. scarlet: do we know anything about the justin trudeau stance on the tpp, the asia trade

$69 for the company following the earnings report. you've got l brands on the rise. analysts anticipated a drop of ratcheted upo's its campaign for the company. they are putting more pressure on the company from the board. looking at other retailers, kate spade is on the list. the shares fell after a citigroup reason tatian. citibank said they should buy on the weakness. you can see the stock is still down and we are looking at the era bradley with first quarter comparable sales that missed estimates. one analyst said that week mall traffic is still an undeniable headwind to sales improvement. comparable sales missed estimates but if you take out

fuel, it beat estimates. the shares are still down. we have been watching the shares continue to tumble. financing of jewelry purchases is an unsustainable business. in addition to that, some reports were highlighted that if the company has been swapping out stones when people bring their jewelry into the service. that's one to watch. audible, if you take a look at the bloomberg, this is not a retailer. i want to look at monsanto. in the after a report past few moments that says bayer has gotten some financing for its acquisition of monsanto. you can see the shares spiked but are still down 1/3 of 1%.
1:35 pm
the debate continues among analyst investors whether this is a good fit. scarlet: thank you so much. let's turn to energy. the headline today is the opec minister meeting in vienna failing to reach a deal capping production. despite the internal discord, the outgoing secretary-general insist opec is still relevant. >> don't take the notion that opec is dead. because it is important part of the economy of the world. scarlet: joining me now from san francisco is the u.s. energy secretary. mr. secretary, let's start with opec. do you agree that opec is still relevant and in what way? >> the opec countries obviously continue to be major suppliers of oil in the world.
1:36 pm
and in someabilized cases some of the countries increased production recently. i think the story is that the united states remains well above oil production levels of several years ago. we are well down in terms of imports of oil and oil products. even inry noteworthy is this time when oil prices over the last 1.5 years have dropped dramatically, it has not impacted the incredible growth we see in renewables which is the subject of the meeting here in san francisco of more than 20 countries driving the clean energy future. scarlet: we will get to that in opec,nt but sticking with what do you see is the impact of their failure to agree on any production quotas? you said the u.s. is done well with shale production.
1:37 pm
is it significant that opec cannot agree on a quota? >> first of all, we are already at a high level of production. frankly, a freeze at a high level i'm not sure would have much impact. laws ofom line is the supply and demand continue to operate and we continue to have some oversupply in the global system. most observers think that supply will come back into balance. supply and demand will come back into balance say within a year. some say more some say less. point, as demand picks a globally, supply remains stable and balance should come back into the market. scarlet: that's something everyone is looking for. we are looking oil prices at around $50 per barrel. what does that mean for clean energy? so far, in the united states and globally, even as oil prices
1:38 pm
have come down, we still see the substantial growth of renewables and also the growth of efficiency. tampedgrowth has been somewhat. we had up presentation that reinforced those points. , besidesited states oil prices, we have very low natural gas prices. principallympacted coal and nuclear while we see our solar deployment up by a factor of more than 20 in the last six years. we see robust growth continuing with the renewables and with efficiency as lead drivers in our clean energy evolution. scarlet: thank you for the shout out. have all of that, he also government making agreements
1:39 pm
like the paris climate accord. what is the status of that being ratified before the presidential election in november? >> it was a big step forward on earth day when 170 countries signed the accord. now, the various countries including the united states have to go through filing a set of articles to join. that we willtted join along with many other countries this year. we may not reach the full ratification threshold this year which requires 55 countries and 55% of the missions. maybe next year, we will see the accord come into force. it's a big driver and a big deal. frankly, i think the paris agreement and the response by 170 countries means that the clean energy direction is really inevitable.
1:40 pm
that is why we have to emphasize innovation so that we can stay at the head of the train and take advantage of what will be a multitrillion dollar market of clean energy technology. scarlet: you are targeting early next year and we have the presidential election before that and donald trump is the percent of republican nominee and has said many things including canceling the paris climate agreements. among the initiatives that the department of energy has taken during the obama administration, what would be at risk if donald trump becomes president? >> i will not comment specifically on the campaign statements by any candidate. at the appropriate time, i would be happy to do so but not now. i think there is a misunderstanding in many ways. energy, we setof
1:41 pm
efficiency standards for appliances and various equipment. those standards are not something we uncovered in the morning and issue in the afternoon. it takes years of rulemaking. would have to those to take a similar long-term process. it would be foolish to do so since the impact of these efficiencies are estimated to save consumers more than half $1 trillion of energy up to 2030 not to mention using 3 billion tons of co2 which will not change. the innovation agenda we are talking about, the clean energy innovation agenda, has received strong bipartisan report on capitol hill. you can look at the senate bills that have passed in the last few months. both the energy policy bill and the appropriations, the budget act for our department, they both explicitly called out the innovation agenda as something
1:42 pm
that is very important that happened with high partisan support. i see the actual actions we are taking to be commitments that this country will continue in our own best self-interest. with the domestic market and the global market expanding rapidly, inevitably, we should be prepared to use our innovative edge to make sure we get an appropriate part of that market share. i want to speak on that the going back to the idea of initiatives that may be at risk, would be -- would the iran nuclear deal be at risk? it's been said it's an international understanding. i will not comment on any individual statements. our policy and our position is very clear. we have reached an agreement
1:43 pm
that has significantly rolled iran has forration nuclear weapon and we have blocked it with some confidence. that is the existential threat and we come but our goal. that goal was accomplished with collaboration of the p-5+1. the economic sanctions which we had not placed were successful because of international collaboration. as my good friend general scowcroft said, security advisor to the first president bush, he said if we walk away from his deal, we walk away alone. doing that would not be very helpful and then we will have lost their leverage on the nuclear program and we are unlikely to have any significant sanctions restored if we are viewed as the ones who have
1:44 pm
walked away. i think in our clear self-interest and the self-interest of our allies, we have to hold iran to the deal while we execute our own responsibilities. scarlet: final question -- chevron and exxon have said there needs to be a step change development and energy research to bring about a new technology that would combat climate change. do you agree or does it already exist? >> it's a bit of both. we have a lot of technology that we need to continue deploying now. it can certainly be used to satisfy our commitments in paris through 2025 and 2030 and the like. what we have to remember is that as we drive to even more carbon reduction, we will have to increase our ambition
1:45 pm
domestically and we have to have the technologies that will be attractive to all the world's countries including developing countries. that means cost production, innovation and that's why president obama and the leaders of 19 other countries at the end of november committed to our doubling our energy r&d investments in this country over the next five years. with athat in parallel new investor coalition. it was put together by bill gates, drawing upon 10 countries, that we will increase the opportunities for investors by enhancing our r&d but there will be investors who are willing to put their money on the table in a long, sustained, patient way so that we have the transformational technologies as well for five decades down the road.
1:46 pm
it's really both, we have to focus on deployment and continue our innovation push that will reduce costs and may also introduce genuinely new services to consumers here and across the world. scarlet: thank you so much for your time. we want to get to julie hyman who has breaking news. concordeam looking at he a health care which is based in ontario. according to the wall street journal, lack stone and carlyle are walking away from the sales prospect according to the wall street journal. the sock -- the stock is sinking but it had been rising because inside is reported that lack stone was said to be near a deal. it looks like the wall street journal is reporting the opposite and the shares are plunging by 10%. we will have more on that and the rest of the market moves when we come back arian ♪ . ♪
