they come down after people read through these headlines. down about 2/10 of 1%. and behind this is energy transfer. earlier this year its acquisition of williams fell apart. a way higher on these headlines as well. we will see if anything more comes of this. we are watching illumina. those shares up 2.5%. according to a person familiar with the situation, they will be making up to $30 billion bid for illumina. this is not a confirmed. there is one deal that is a done deal we have been watching. global wafers, a taiwanese wafer maker agreed to buy sun edison for $683 million, including debt

there is a lot of legal activity in recent weeks and become part of the story again. we don't know yet. they are coming and they are here and they are there and there are 70 cases going on. and another one shows how vulnerable valeant is when they should turn their core operations around. lisa: they are one of the bigger debtholders. why are they coming out now? sylvia: they were. they are not one of the biggest shareholders anymore. extently i think to some they have gotten her hands on it on the investigative work. they have the documents that show what they want to prove, which is they are arguing the company was not perhaps doing some thing fraudulent and way was handling its relationship -- i-- they are probably have not gotten to the entire of it, this is the point in which

they had their case together and could move forward. vonnie: mike, you have been phenomenal on the debt of valiant and other issues related to it. what happens now? we have got this agreement with creditors that we were not expecting. mike: it was expected to some extent in the earnings call last week. they were seeking this agreement. we didn't know if it would come or when it would come or what certain terms. is a big deal for the company. when they slashed guidance previously, they would neither interest coverage ratio. that has been pushed off recently. they have more room to deliver guidance again. on the other hand it's been overshadowed right away. the good news and no lawsuit. is the same story again. lisa: i love the adjective, it's a valeant thing to happen. they are the fourth biggest company in the high-yield bond

index with more than $30 billion of debt, yet when you look at the price of the bond, they continue to rebound of it. what is a going to take for bond investors to give up? mike: that's an interesting question. i think is whether or not the business can actually recover. it has continued to deteriorate. now some of the core franchises are doing badly. the other thing is if they can sell off assets at a decent valuation. they have been wanting to do that for some time. they just got some room with this credit agreement to sell assets. what is there that is worth someone paying up for it? that is the big question. i am not sure the numbers they put out, $8 billion in assets sold off, i'm not sure they will get that. vonnie: much point to our charts. bond for 2018, the 10 year bond. it has recovered back to the 100

cents on the dollar. sylvia: there is a little bit of a too big to fail phenomenon going on. there is kind of a mutual holding this together and there is good conditions in the credit market. they are able to get terms that you might not see in a market that is a bit dicier. they are fortunate in the fact that benefited from quite a lenient condition in the credit market as well. it certainly -- that screams to me very thing it credit conditions in the market. it is easier money than it would be in a downturn per se. we have to see. their timing was really good and i got terms of a give them a bit more time. which is set to see the business turnaround now. lisa: what is the next shoe to fall? mike: who knows.

t. rowe is not the only when it lost money on valeant. you have to look at the next gurneys call it the business should make any kind of turnaround. thank you so much for being with us. column on yours bloomberg. coming up in the next 20 minutes, uber put a date on the future announcing the launch of their fleet of autonomous cars this month in pittsburgh. we will look at their deal with volvo in a bloomberg exclusive. vonnie: oil extending's longest winning streak in more than a year as u.s. crude and and is -- decline. lisa: the time is to: 10:00 p.m. -- 2:10 p.m. s&p 500 about nine basis point in nasdaq of about .17%. a sleepy day in new york city.

♪ lisa: this is bloomberg markets. time for the bloomberg business flash. a look at some of the biggest stories in the news right now. an agreement to buy in a building apartment complex on manhattan's the site for $820 million. the world's largest manager of alternative assets is said to be kip'theyn on courts. richer is considering an acquisition of the company. people familiar with the

companies say the pharmaceutical firm founded by controversial ar entrepreneur martin's grilli -- for visitors declined to comment. shares of two major prison stocks are down. this after the justice department said he will end the use of private prisons. shares of corrections corporation of america and the geo group punched more than 40% with both stocks briefly holding. the attorney general's office said the are instructed not to reduce private prison contracts or substantially reduce. that is the latest. the solution for the euro trouble. joseph stiggas think so. >> if you look what's happened

as a result of the euro, the rigidities it has put in, its ability interest rate in exchange rate mechanism for adjusting. didn't put anything in its place. the output of the gdp of europe has been well below even the united states. we were the country where from where -- from whence the crisis began. we have done a better job in recovering. they are basically stagnant. growth for the last couple of quarters is .3%, .4%. that is not a good performance. what you have to contrast is ,ontinuing that dismal outcome depressions in spain and greece, and an alternative. of course a divorce is not going to be easy.

way that isne in a better than the current system. it would still be better if they put into place institutions that would make it work. the question is will they do that? let's say the set up with austerity and something happens, france the same. how many years of pain? six years of recession before we get to this new world you are talking about? joseph: the crisis began in 2008, 2010. we are in 2016. the market with the euro is not adjusting well. i think it example of countries that have an exchange-rate like iceland responding to the crisis, one of the countries with the deepest crisis responded very quickly. it's a small country. we are not talking about six years. we are talking but a couple of years. argentina,, wanted broke the peg

with the dollar, began an enormous growth beginning in 2002. it had a growth rate of 8%. put it right i said china is the fastest-growing country in the world. that continued until the global financial crisis. francine: you would argue for a break above the euro and stronger banking union. how do they marry each other? joseph: i would argue for a stronger banking union and doing the other thing 17 europe together. -- that would keep europe together. the question is is there enough political solidarity, enough political will within europe to do those limited number of things. they are limited. a limited number of things that make the euro work, make the eurozone return to the kind of growth that it had before the euro. comedy --inating commentary.

that was earlier on bloomberg surveillance. still ahead, uber is shifting into high gear when it comes to driverless cars. will that leave google, apple and tesla in the dust? this is bloomberg. ♪

♪ vonnie: this is bloomberg markets. lisa: now to uber which is revving of its ambitions in driverless cars.

some customers in pittsburgh may be able to soften -- seven self driving cars. cars.omeone self-driven to bring in julie who also just wrote a story on uber's valuation. an actually rode in autonomous driving car? >> it was a little bit boring, which sounds weird. it's partly because they have safety drivers right now. you know there is someone there who can seize control of the car is something goes wrong. the truth is you get used to it. happens almost instantaneously. you just start trusting the car and thinking everything will be fine. i also rode in part of the story that uber bought a driverless truck company for $700 million. i rode in a truck in it was scarier. partly because i was not local in. vonnie: packing to go on a car

that drives itself? max: it has no seatbelts. was scary because you are going down the highway very quickly in this giant lethal weapon. even in the truck, you sort of get used to it. lisa: you think it will be pretty prevalent in a year? max: there are two issues. one is the regulatory issue and what is the technological issue. the truth is one we are talking about true self driving cars that can go anywhere without any human intervention, there is still work to be done. is probably several years worth of work, may be more. i do think we will start seeing more bounded use. this company that uber bought is talking about talking about trucks on highways. most long-haul trucking goes on a handful of interstates. they could map the interstates and a detailed way. that could happen for real within a matter of years. technologically it is getting

closer to being possible. vonnie: max, we will come back to you in a minute. i want to bring in julie with her great story about uber's valuation. it is one of the few unicorns we know is definitely a unicorn. and experts as the valuation on it out there in the universe may not be what it should be valued as. liquid.ber his less a professor at nyu who specializes in valuations says it is worth about $28 billion versus the $62.5 billion that it is valued at right now. lisa: what is the biggest gap in their estimation? julie: because it this bar mitzvah moment, which i wish someone had coined a long time ago because i love it. is the point where instead of just focusing on growth like a lot of young companies see, you see growth plus profitability.

pcs that is the biggest issue. uber is profitable in a few markets pretty does that you can become a fairly profitable in all of its markets. vonnie: you don't know what is valued at until he goes public. are there plans for to go public ever? julie: i think they want to go public but at this point it is valued more than about 85% of companies in the s&p 500. that's a pretty high bar. vonnie: lummis lsm is actually raised funding? julie: it was pretty recently, about a month or two ago. lisa: i want to talk more about the bar mitzvah moment. going back to the idea of autonomous drivers, how does that shift into this new technology? factor into the profitability? , most peopleuber look at driverless cars is a research thing. that it is aatic business problem. if they are able to get

driverless cars working quickly, it will dramatically improve the economics of uber to the point where it gets cheaper to take on a long trip to own a car. it's like one dollar in change to a lot of cities to less than the iris reimbursement level. vonnie: to the passenger what difference does it make? max: i think they have totally figured it out. in the pittsburgh pilot program is free. if you get a driverless car, you don't have to pay. i think the thing they are excited about is it will dramatically reduce costs. uber has made investment in carpooling and things that are getting closer to public transit things. they carpool -- the car pulls up and it's actually a passenger seat. you have four different passengers getting in.

it is like supercheap, as chief as a bus or subway. lisa: would you drive in an autonomous car without reservation? max: i did the probably not without reservation. i would definitely keep my hands available to grab the wheel. the truth is the technology, while amazing, they are still working on it. vonnie: i thought you meant you were bored. ax.nk you very much to m check out his story in bloomberg businessweek. you the magazine reporters every weekend. also thanks to julie. ♪ [ clock ticking ]

they are not looking to flood the market. another step to try to get andrs under the tent arrange for some kind of deal to restrain or even lower production. i think we are very far from that because a lot was broken in april. several things needed to happen and become to those happening at the desk we don't see those happening yet -- and we don't see those happening yet. >> we talked about the importance of the saudi's, it shale that pushed saudi's and deposition in the first place. what's going on in the shell market? -- shale market? it's often been slows by almost

100. -- it is off of its lows by almost 100. >> that's why i remain skeptical that the saudi's are suddenly going to try to rig this market all over again. to be management has losing game. the best you could do is to alert short-sellers today. if we are pushed, we can maybe take a few barrels away. that is a change from what was two weeks ago a record short position. go forward again, at best, i think we can expect the saudi's and russians to agree that maybe push the winter
