choppiness in the range. individual movers, let's look at stocks moving on music news, starting with amazon and pandora. up nicely on the news out of a report from the financial times that the company could want a streaming music service very soon. perhaps as soon as next month. pandora is nearing a similar agreement but unlikely in september. when we throw serious into the mix, slightly higher and andorra has flipped into the red. both of these stocks are finding a little relief in the future, deals they had music before. lawsuits were not deals in place but it looks like deals finally made individually with record companies could be extended or we will see if they get the boost they had earlier. that is happening with individual movers. matt: music people or 1972, i am trying to

let the most important, black sabbath self-titled record? >> we are going led zeppelin. matt: good point here and i agree with you 100 sent. what about the bond market? what is the reaction like? >> we saw a big rally in rates on friday at your this each by fed chair janet yellen. quite some time but today we are seeing a boomerang, the 10 year yield having its worst drop in two weeks. investors are sorting through what janet yellen'speech mean for the markets. we look at a fabulous chart. we are looking at the probability of a fed hike by the end of 2016 and we go back to last year when the fed raised rates for the first time in seven years and we he the was very high and what is really interesting here, almost 0% ago it was

but now we are above 60%. in'd shifts in volatility what investors think will happen around rates. >> thanks so much, abigail. mark crumpton has more from our newsroom. to address millions of americans coping with mental own this. it is aimed at ensuring americans would no longer separate mental health and physical health in terms of access, care, and quality of treatment. secretary clinton presses agenda would focus on early diagnosis and intervention and create an initiative for suicide prevention. saysf her closest aides she is separating from her scandal plagued husband anthony weiner. he resigned from congress in 2011 after he was caught texting intimate pictures of himself to women. he has again exchanged sexually

zeppelin one and two. thank you. let's get back to the federal reserve right now. janet yellen has wall street divided. her hawkish comments were enough for goldman sachs to boost odds of a september rate hike. pimco did not think there was anything of note in this age. anna edwards asked mark what he thought. he was on earlier today from zurich. >> we think there will be one hike this year and there will probably be in december. i think the fed as a whole is taking the cue from what alan greenspan used to say, that if you think you understood what i said, you were not hearing me clearly. a situation where the u.s. it me is very strong but they are very focused on the global situation and they realized that too many hikes in the united states would likely drive the -- drive out the dollar and weaken the u.s.

economy. the dollarng with have to get for that to be a real worry for the fed? bit ands moved quite a the earnings have adjusted. i think we would be looking at not one hike in the dollar too strong, but if we saw two this year, i think the message that the fed has an sending would come into question and i think we would feel that in the dollar and also some uncertainty in markets. thatis the kind of thing could drive this very low volatility higher and start to hurt the equity markets. >> i was looking at an interesting chart on u.s. corporate profits and you are keen on u.s. stocks right now. dropping and been they have seen the longest slide since the end of the recession. give concerns about the growth fisher in the united states, the jobs engine still

intact, whether equities could go higher from here? >> on the contrary, this is a reason we like u.s. equities now despite the fact their pe's are above the historic norm. what we think is happening is you have got still feeding through lower earnings from the sorgies sector year-over-year, yes, corporate earnings are down about 2% that if you strip the energy component, unlikely to have a similar fall this year given how far energy prices have come down, earnings are up 2%. we see earnings improving quarter over quarter and we take for the year, earnings could be up about 3% and that should help overweight in u.s. equities. >> that was the ubs wealth management cio with anna edwards from zurich. we will have plenty more fed

matt: this is bloomberg markets.

it has in a quiet monday for deals as we wrap up the last week of summer. jeff joins us with a special guest. >> how is m&a looking this year? seems slower, a lot of big names but much slower. >> first, thank you for having me here. i've issued the invitation. slower.ower, 2016 is if you look at your today, 2016 is a little behind. the 10bout even with year average. it is too early to draw a conclusion about the year because a couple of big deals.

the last three or four weeks, >> we had the motivation with pfizer and you had a bunch of deals in the health care space. how is health care overall looking? >> it is always busy and that is why it is such an interesting market. over time, there are always deals going on. you look at the pattern and we had several cycles of consolidation. large companies merging. deals.find is you know what it takes. biotech is becoming a more mature industry. you have many more companies now

than you had 10 or 15 years ago that have d risked assets. the market and acquirers can look at the companies and say yes, i see that big running big and having a big impact on me. classic couple of years ago, hepatitis see. it now seems we are in the era of cancer drugs. what do you think comes next? what is the next area that the biotech companies will go after? it in have to look at terms of, they look for big market profits. they first went after cardiovascular and cholesterol and then it was hepatitis d and now it is oncology. i think it is key to remember that oncology is a big market and there are a lot of indications, types of cancer, and i think we are at the tip of the ice and we will go on for a while. there are still a lot of

countries out there. thereed earlier about being a more mature biotech company, but one important point is in the search for growth, if you looked at the biotech market five years ago and the acquisitions that took place, pharma companies look at companies close to launching a drug. a lot of deals got done in the last five years as well as commercialization. he will willing to take some risk. what is next, oncology will go on for a while. the other area is small diseases. small populations. less competition in terms of r&d but you also have more pricing flexibility and you can show clinical impact and things like that. further out, several years out, i think demographics would point me toward things like alzheimer's, parkinson's,

degenerative diseases. jeff: as the generation thesis. it will becoming more popular drug as well. hard though. compared to other diseases people are trying to treat, we do not know what the causes are. it will be longer and more expensive to research something like that. >> companies in the u.s. buying into asia or europe or the u.s., has brexit been a big impact like we thought? has there been a slowdown on m&a? onit has had some impact inking. i do not think it will impact a company that really has a strategic imperative to invest in a or product or who really needs growth. temporarily, people are trying to orient themselves toward what do we happens next, but i think it is company specific. you have to look at the

individual, and he. multinationals in a lot of places. it does not necessarily determine what is the impact of brexit. after that, as you see there may be a slowdown in people investing into the u.k. for some time, but people are investing in europe and deals are going on so i think it is hard to say there has in a big impact so far during >> is mostly the push into the u.s., europe in companies are asian companies that want to get into the gdp? we complain but it is still the biggest economy in the world. >> it is all relative. there is still a big push into the u.s. both because the relative growth is higher because in dollar terms, it is a big absolute mark. inflow thanot more outflow but there has also been a lot more inflow into europe. behindis only about 15%

the u.s. in terms of inflow and m&a. that is an important market and it does not have some of the issues. >> there are not a lot of women in that kind of a position. it feel? what kind of feedback have you gotten from clients or other women in the banking space? wall street has struggled with diversity and putting people into those kinds of roles. >> i know wall street is visible for that. i was overwhelmed with the response i got. i get it is so important.

>> did you regret going into finance and m&a and did not think is the right history for a woman? >> i did not. i got the job coming out of dartmouth college. i have worked here for 28 years and i frankly think i just picked right and i've always loved it and learn from it and it has given me a lot of opportunity and i have a lot of mentor ship and authorship. worked out well for me but if you think i should have a tv career, let me know. >> back to you, matt. matt: thank you very much. want to know anything more on m&a, a great unction you can look out on bloomberg. myave got it here on bloomberg and i have tapped on the tab so i can see volume and deal town, the deal count being the green line and the blue bars volume.the

matt: this is bloomberg markets. i am matt miller. trump had a flurry of confusion on his stance on immigration, a centerpiece of his campaign. top aides say little has changed in his stance. let's bring in a bloomberg politics reporter who wrote about the topic today. -- onlythere has only been a meaningful change when he talks about mass deportation. >> that is correct, it is the only policy area where he seems to have clearly shifted between last weekend this week there it he said multiple times in the primary he would do a mass deportation program as president and roundup and expel legally potentially under two years.

400 really in 600 billion to do. it was never realistic but everything else in trump's policy proposals on immigration is the same. he still wants to build the wall and he still wants a tracking system and opposes any kind of legalization for any people here legally. very important. it is raising eyebrows and sparking a lot of confusion. reporters are confused by it. this has been a centerpiece of his identity. an issue that catapulted him in the republican primary and helped him win the nomination. any shift will raise eyebrows. >> politicians are hartline on issues for they get elected and they will soft and up they get in office.

two in the general election, and in his support -- can count on him. >> that is the theory on many republican strategist. of hispanics in 2012. a lot of republican strategist do not believe their party could win the presidency again and this is a gateway issue for many of them as to whether they would consider voting for a republican. that is one school of thought different,ategy is to maximize and supercharge the white vote. have a hard is to line and restrictive immigration policy and whether it works, it remains to be seen. it looks doubtful now. he is behind in the polls in

event on wednesday, september 7. i want to bring in with mark, who recently broke the news months ago. now we are receiving the invitation. how important is this for apple? >> this is a very significant event for apple. every time they launch a new flagship iphone model, the stock will soar. iphone is their cash cow. yes, this event is extraordinarily significant to apple. nejra: tell us more about what is expected to be unveiled in terms of next generation devices. to release planning september.els in the differentiator here will be about the camera on the larger model. it will have a dual camera system. pictures will be much sharper,

they will be able to interpret light much better, and you will be able to zoom in and out at a rate that is much better than current iphones. teachers will not be as blurry. matt: expectations really are not that high for ground breaking technology. how important is this to apple stock price? do we see swing up and down formally on days when tim cook or steve jobs would introduce new technology? to thene is very key overall revenues and profits all the time, every year. now, apple has forecasted another quarterly drop your after year in revenue, following two straight drops in revenue over the last two quarters. in the q1, the holiday

quarter, upcoming, that is apple's most important quarter. these iphones will be part of it. we will see how the sales really affect the quarter. even, the upcoming q4 because they will likely start selling it during part of q4. matt: will we get a new watch? >> apple is reportedly working on a new watch. it is to be seen when they announce it. the september of that will be focused heavily on the iphone. nejra: our competitors going to to this event, quaking in their boots, or not for much? >> samsung is taking a close look to see how their products matchup. i think next year will be at a good deal in terms of technology advancements. we reported that apple is planning a bigger iphone update with no home button. i think next year is one technology will advance.

this will hold apple over until then. matt: thank you so much. let's go now to a different ofic that is, i would say, equal importance, if not more for investors. oil. of press teachst economics weighed an earlier -- .n earlier >> stronger dollar expectations. this week, still some hawkish spillover as folks digest what make sure thatnd

physicians are short up before the holiday weekend. , i don't think the fed will do anything. labor will get a pop. meeting, that was very formally announced in a press release directory from the verysecretary, it is formal. that will happen between the 26 and the 28th of september. if nothing happens, we will see it move lower. we see it move lower too much before then, you could get some action. this time it is different. alix: why is it different? in april, these guys were like, they are producing at max capacity. why is this time different? >> this time you have a new saudi oil minister who was very

much involved in building bridges at the june opec building. you had an agreement on a new secretary general. was the new saudi minister campaign.y on a pr he really tried to move the opportunity forward in a way that we have not seen in some time. that is very different. we now see the opportunity for them to work together. this is political, more than anything else. does increase the probability that something happened. alix: you make a great point. if the iranians show up, that is situation thant

what we saw in april. is there a correlation? what kind is there from job owning to the informal meeting? >> i don't know if that is going to be what is really at play here, although, i would say a at of the opec members are pressure from a debt standpoint standpoint.ow that is why the shared review is .t least semi-annual defaults are expected to continue through the end of the year. and budgetaryes problems, that is something that all members are contending with. alix joins us now for a

closer look at oil. we heard their first about the dollar and about opec from the interview and other people you .ave been speaking to is that what the dollar does or all of these presumptions around opec? alix: it will be both. overall, it is about supply and demand and about whether we get that freeze. i loved how he broke down the definition of a freeze. just the fact that we are talking about a freeze means we are coming closer to balance in the market. we're not talking about cuts. ast talking about a freeze is good thing. committing to it, but the idea of the market coming into balance which is what the market expects for the end of this year. that is the longer-term driver. matt: talking about of fees of

the time when they are producing more oil than ever. i like to look at this once in a while to check it out. you can blow up number 11 and output production data. it continues to rise at an all-time high. you have a great chart -- actually my favorite chart of the day. nejra: this is about the output rising. more intry pumping december. the output has been increasing. and, crude below has been dropping. this is a really key chart to look at. be the firstuld decision. one more thing.

the wildcard here could be iraq. alix: they want to increase exports by, i think, 5%. they want to get into 100%, the market share backup. until they do that, the likelihood is that they agree to a freeze. if they show up, which they did not do in april, is a good thing. if they are talking, they were not talking before over the last year and a half. that is a good thing going forward. my chart -- can you pull it up for me? matt: yes, i pulled it up. permian rigs the count. it is the one you want to pay attention to. , 198are being added there rigs. producers there continue to add. they are drilling. that is where you will see

how big balance sheets are getting. >> negative interest rates were not discussed at all. kuroda was interesting. the last monetary policy meeting the bank of japan, many market participants condemned their decision is not going far enough. kuroda announced there would be a big review of where monetary policy was going. .e're approaching that now there had been some narrative at the time that the bank of japan back and let fiscal policy do more. there is zero indication from the remarks that that is actually going to happen. it is entirely possible they could come out in september and say we reviewed it, here is my conclusion. i pulled up an old chart hillary made back in the day. 21.89 in the library.

i think it is violent -- look at theto balance sheet. balance sheets per person. getting crazy.is i was wonder, does it make a difference? even without inflation, people seem relatively happy. if you look at the balance sheet per capita, it is pretty nuts. does japan have a real serious problem here? bank of japan has been at qe far longer than any other developed central bank. secondly, recognition is shrinking. those things will come into play as well. think japan officials have said .here is no impediment we can keep buying more.

they are also buying etf's in rates. -- and reits. matt: and becoming the biggest shareholder in the market. >> and yet interest rates in japan is very low. it is a saving society. a population that is shrinking. they are great sabers. there will be an appetite as long as they are issued. print as much as they like and people still subscribe a certain amount of value to yen. i think it is a fascinating story. dan moss, thank you for coming on. tomorrow, tom keene will host a conversation with the fed vice .hairman stanley fischer don't miss it. you can see it anywhere on tv, on the internet. nejra: coming up, sergio marker -- sergio marchionne
