surely it deserves some degree of priority. philip: it is different from any other sector because manufacturing sectors, for example, if we were to end up in deal, manufacturing will be in it. john: it is different and we have to deal with each sector according to its specific needs. we are in the moment in the process of analyzing with people in the financial services sector and in other sectors across economy to understand the specific needs that they have. one of the things that is already clear is this sort of -- wel response of people must have this. it's too general. you have to drill

down. there are specific issues we have to understand. john: the issue of euro clearing, that is when the comes of repeatedly when you talk to people in the city. do you think it is possible to hang onto that if the person is outside the sale market? philip: as you know, the ecb tried previously to force clearing of euro-denominated instruments to take place inside the european union. the case went to the european court of justice and the court found that the ecb didn't have any power to make such a ruling. theaven't tested discriminatory issue, as it were, yet. when britain leaves the european union, there will still be a number of countries that do not use the euro currency who are inside the european union, who are entitled to the protections

of the signal market. so it is by no means clear to me that the rules of the single market, even after britain has left, would permit to the ecb to require euro-denominated instruments to be cleared inside the eurozone. you wouldn't expect that's what a business to come towards new york or other places that have that business or treaty already. philip: what i'm saying is that, if the ecb was minded to try its hand, as it were, to try again euro-denominated clearing would take place, that would be a legal process that would take time. i think that is some way down the line. john: what about the issue of foreign workers? the idea reducing foreign workers sent shockwaves. isn't that going to make this

the much harder? philip: we have to recognize that parts of the mood in the u.k., the growth, the referendum mood about the pressure on wages at the lowest end, entry-level jobs and the from large-scale migration, largely from eastern europe. and we have to address that issue. that is the clear mandate we've received from the british people. highlyblem is not skilled and highly paid bankers, brain surgeons, software engineers. you will not find, if you walk towns andnsend -- -- britain how they feel about migration that they have a problem with people with high skills and higher earnings coming to the u.k. they recognize that those people are a positive conservation to the u.k. economy. the issue we have to deal with

is people with low skills competing for entry-level jobs. that's a challenge. john: you know as well as i do that migration tends to be a sign of a healthy economy. now britain will play stuff on that. doesn't that limit to some extent the speed of the economy, even if it is for political reasons you've explained? limit the nominal growth of the economy. but what we have seen in the last two years is an economy that is growing, but gdp per capita has hardly grown at all. so what we need to drive is a growth in gdp per capita. we need to see economic expansion coming from an improvement in productivity, not simply from bringing ever larger numbers of low skilled people into the economy. scarlet: that was u.k. chancellor of the exchequer philip hammond. up, the auto industry has gone through

i'm mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. thank you. investors are looking to tomorrow's u.s. jobs report as a potential indication of when the fed may raise just rates. michelle meyer of bank of america merrill lynch has been arguing for a hike in december. thank you for your time today. let me start by asking you, why not november? if we get a big number tomorrow, is it because this meeting comes only six days ahead of the u.s. elections? the fed will tell you, and yellen made it clear in the press conference, they are apolitical, not taking into account the political environment, but they are taking into account potential headwinds, uncertainties. i would argue the presidential ,lection is a high uncertainty not entirely clear as to how the financial markets will react depending on the outcome.

from the fed's perspective, they will be risk-averse. we are setting the stage for a hike, let's wait to get past the election, and just pull the trigger in december. what else may keep them from raising rates in december? michelle: the data always matters. they say they're prepared for a rate hike in the -- december, but the data needs to agree with that. we need to see jobs reports that continue to show improvement, 200,000 in000 and the next few reports. evidence that gdp rebounds in the third quarter, as many expect somewhere between 2.5% to 3%. on the inflation side, they are not waiting for it to accelerate, but they do not want to see it decelerate. some price pressures building. you look at economic data, i have on my bloomberg the

economic surprise index, which does not look at if the data is rising or falling, but just better or worse than what economists expect. in early august, it reached a two and a half year high before going down. it has turned around again, so the data is coming in better than inspectors and the fed may be expecting. matt: a little bit, but we are still at the zero bound. about theu think data, michelle, is it surprising you on the upside, are they coming in basically in line with your expectations? two scarlet's point, the august data was weaker, a few disappointing surveys, ism surveys in august, regional surveys. the september data, what has been reported thus far is a bit better, particularly in those surveys. we have seen a move higher in the data, but we are not supposed their reacting to that

one month indicator. broadly speaking, the trend is pretty clear. we have an economy that is continuing to expand, but we are talking about slow growth environment. matt: how important is market feedback to the fed? most would agree that an increase of only 25 basis points will not make a heck of a lot of an effect on the real economy. but rising interest rates -- investors would definitely feel that. michelle: i think financial conditions are critical. is not their official third mandate, but it is clearly what they are thinking about, not only in terms of the transmission of policy to the broader economy, but also just gauging how globally conditions are in the financial system. the answer is twofold. on the one hand, they have to think about what that 25 basis point hike will mean to global financial conditions, how it

spills over to other economies, which could potentially be back into the u.s. decidingher end, when what the appropriate policy is in the u.s., they have to think about the condition of financial markets broadly as well. they are definitely monitoring financial conditions in this respect. --rlet: we are mentoring monitoring the language, the semantics they use with regards to the tightening cycle. you had normalization and then the terminal rate. how is normalization different from a hiking cycle, and what does that tell us about how rates could potentially go? michelle: as we learn more about what the fed is trying to do, it is becoming clear that they are not seeing this hiking cycle as one where they are tightening to fight inflation, or tightening to stop x-axis from building in the economy.

looking to normalize policy, given how headwinds are evolving in the economy and that is why they are bringing this discussion to another phrase, fund is the equilibrium rate. that is supposed be a way to calibrate to the market how they think policy will involve. currently in real terms, that short-term star is at zero. slowto be very careful and in terms of how quickly you increase interest rates. scarlet: you wrote that the election keeps you up at night in terms of what may come ahead for the u.s. economy. you see the risk of a soft patch in the coming month. what would that look like? michelle: what i would be worried about, just because the nature of the election -- it is unusual. you have two candidates that are coming out with pretty big views, a lot of uncertainty as to what will be implemented. it is a contentious election.

-- the concern i have business community can take this uncertainty and say they will pause and wait to invest. they will wait to buy a bigger ticket items, which means you could see a soft patch developing in the economy even before you see the results of the election. some of the survey data was indicating that was the case. matt: michelle, thank you, we appreciate it. coming up, goldman sachs is set to pull $300 million from omega advisors after the u.s. charge of the founder of that fund with insider trading. we have the latest on that. this is bloomberg. ♪

matt: you are watching "bloomberg markets." i'm matt miller. scarlet: i'm scarlet fu. said to behs is cutting ties with the famous former employee for the second time this year. the retirement plan is pulling $300 million from leon cooper's omega advisors. dakin campbell is here with more. say leon cooper was a former alumni, he was there for a number of years, and they have a long-standing relationship. at 25 yearsere before he started his hedge fund in 1991. was ae left goldman, he partner, head of their asset management business, so he was one of the most senior people at the firm. matt: i'm assuming that leon cooperman's reaction is i'm not guilty and you are leaving to judgment. right.tly from goldman standpoint, their

retirement fund taxes a fiduciary for the employees who have their money in there. so it was -- they want to get ahead of this and they are not saying anything or jumping to conclusions about leon cooperman , but out of an abundance of caution, they are getting out of it. scarlet: how did his fun do for goldman employees? we got some performance data from when he first started managing money for them in may, 1993, so 20 years ago. he has beaten every major stock market index in that performance. this money was held in a justately managed account for goldman employees, for the 401(k) program. matt: this is the second big story for the fund pulling money out of a hedge fund that is closely related to their

business, or a hedge fund founded by former goldman employees. the first was earlier this year, in august, the 401(k) plan said that they were pulling all of their money from dan och's fund, which adjusts settled with the department of justice over paying bribes in africa. most famous of the alumni of goldman, so -- matt: definitely in hedge fund world. >> certainly. now that the four ok one money will not be attached to these, if they want to invest with a hedge fund, they will have only one option and that is lee a insley's maverick capital. if you want to put your money into a strategy managed by a hedge fund externally, that is the only one left. scarlet: why only one option, nowhy not broaden the pool?

>> i think they will. it takes a while to onboard new managers, there is a due diligence process, they want to make sure there are no sec or doj investigations. i sort of assume that they will over the coming months or year. since --does that put them back on the table? >> i don't think so. as we saw with omega advisors, the 401(k) plan is being very cautious with these guys. deadlock's fund pleaded guilty, so they harassed restrictions on managing retirement money for foreign people, so they had go the department of labor to get a waiver to continue to do that.

it will take them several months to get that waiver. certainly not until they get that waiver, and then even after it will take a while to get comfortable again. your story is not about leon cooperman's innocence or guilt, but about what goldman sachs is doing with their money. is cooperman saying he did not make any money here? interesting timing as the supreme court comes up with a ruling on insider trading. know saying that he did something but did not profit off of it? it's a good question, and to be honest, i don't know the ins and outs of his case or the investigation. i know he has professed his innocence quite strongly, as he did in our story, and in prior stories, reporting from the sec. as he said, this is about his legacy. he will defend himself quite

vigorously until the very end. we expect other bank pension funds to follow suit and do the same thing, pullout from these kinds of funds? talk aboutnot heard that, but in many ways, goldman is often a leader in these kinds of things. we may see that. also possible and worth noting, pension funds may not be in the specific funds. they may be in other ones, they may not give as much access to hedge fund strategies as goldman. we just don't know. matt: thank you so much, dakin campbell. goldman sachs pulling money out of omega and earlier this year och-ziff. crude oil are breaking above $50 today. the latest on energy, and a check on hurricane matthew as the category four storm

quick check on u.s. stocks as we see big moves today in gold, oil, treasuries, and the dollar. reallyor equity indexes are not changing all that much with the dow down only 15 points, the s&p up slightly, and the nasdaq down .1%. let's take a look under the hood at the nasdaq market site with abigail doolittle. nasdaq down ever so slightly right now, down .1%. this represents a turnaround of sorts with the nasdaq malala of its lows. the index had been done .6% earlier. what makes it interesting, the big drag earlier, health care, is still the big drag. biotech index down 2% at this time. this tells us we have seen a recovery elsewhere. the biggest boost all day has 1%, apple, up one points -- higher for the third day in a row. can a court is saying demand for the iphone 7 is very healthy and

the average selling prices may be higher than what the street is looking for, so that is bullish. the dialogueat semiconductor third court results beat revenues. positive points around the , suggesting it is positive for apple, especially around the fiscal fourth-quarter. for investorsf around the idea that the corridor will be ok. ideas, connect these two apple and biotech, you would not think there is too much of a connection, but when you look at the one-year chart of apple and biotech, over the last year, we see a huge correlation. until recently we had this divergence. there had been two smaller divergences over the past two years. very different in nature but both result to the downside. that apples suggests

is pulling down to meet the weakness in biotech, time will tell. certainly an interesting chart. thanks very much, abigail doolittle. scarlet: sticking with tech, shares of twitter are doubling the most in more than a year following reports that google is not interested in buying the site. for more, let's bring in our m&a reporter alex sherman. who is left? recodeis not interested, reported that apple is not interested, and disney is not as well. does that leave stills force -- salesforce? still in it, as of now. i have not been able to confirm disney is out. google is an interesting case because they do not really need to buy twitter on its own in order to keep its current search partnership intact. the strategy for google may be to buy twitter now so that we

can keep this search tied forever. but if no one were to buy twitter, you could see to tediously google also not needing to buy twitter. prisoners bit of dilemma game theory going on. it would make sense for google to say we are not going to bid at this time, which is what recode reported. we know that google is working with lazard. my sources tell me that there was never a firm commitment from google that they were going to bed, so it is possible they do not here and they are just looking at twitter and kicking the tires, and moving on. bidders, and if it comes off by this pace? right now it is worth less than $14 billion. shirley, somebody will pick it up if it is $10 billion. facebook paid $19 billion for whatsapp. >> that is the question.

that is something that we discussed several weeks ago. you could see twitter being in a a-esque situation here, where it never falls low enough. turning into a cockroach instead of a bird. it never falls low enougha-esqu, where it never for a company to come in and scoop it up because there is always this m&a premium pickton from investors that assume it will be taken out, so it never falls to that $10 billion level. happens, orif that maybe there is some impetus for salesforce to say, if they are the only game in town, are they going to offer a low enough price were twitter will say, that is still higher than $10 billion, we may as well take it/ . on my bloomberg, i have a chart looking at the performance under the different ceos. duringpany did the ipo

dick costolo's reign. the head ofis now the company. he also runs square. is there any possibility they could acquire the company? >> i have done heard that. there is still the possibility that you could have an outside buyer here. but i can tell you, all of the likely candidates, besides inebook, have told bloomberg one way or another, sources familiar with those companies, that they are not interested. we have heard sources familiar with microsoft say they are not interested in bidding at this time, comcast, verizon is a theoretical buyer. we have resources sources that say that they will not buy. it does feel a little bit right now that the deal is teetering, if twitter wants a big price, if they are ok with selling without that huge price, then salesforce

is there. matt: what do you think about facebook? we had a guest yesterday saying that facebook has try to emulate twitter and failed a few times. they may as well pick it up. >> it make some logical sense, is this is going to be there shot at it. and that is where the game theory comes in. if facebook were interested in twitter, you would have to think that facebook would be interested again. then there is a bit of a war, and then the price on twitter goes up, and then maybe you have a bidding war. there is a lot of variables here , and it may be that facebook is doing game theory on this, too, were they don't want to get into early. they are ok with an independent twitter, they just don't want somebody else taking it away from them so they cannot jump in at the last minute scarlet:. scarlet:scarlet: what is twitter's valuation property right now, the data that they

hold or the platform? maybe because there is no more growth in the platform. they are looking at growth of users and they don't have that. there is certainly a wealth of value in the data. the value proposition continues to be a little bit of a question , which is, what is this company going to turn into? jack dorsey has only been a ceo for a year. scarlet: he has not done anything with the company. >> you have to give him more rope than one year. mercer mayer was given three years before they sold yahoo!. scarlet: maybe they should not have given her that time. >> you could backtrack on yahoo! and say that the company was failing 15 years prior to marissa mayer. all i'm saying is in jack dorsey has a plan to turn around twitter, one year may be on the short end. matt: especially because he is busy doing two jobs. where can we find your deal of

scarlet: this is "bloomberg markets." i'm scarlet fu. matt: i'm matt miller. let's go to julie hyman for her chart of the day. julie: it needs a little set up. we have been talking about how stocks have not been moving that much today. we are seeingng

action and other asset, not so much with stocks. this is not unusual if you look at recent market activity before recent jobs reports. we have the next report tomorrow, so if you look back at other days before job reports this year, with the exception of the january report, we had very little movement on those days as investors anticipate and sort of hold their bets before those reports, which tend to be big market moving events. one is interesting about this report, september has been even more difficult for the government and economists to wille out what the numbers be. the chart of the day is previous september's last seven septembers. we have seen the initial read of the jobs report underestimated the eventual read. in other words, we get the revision next month. the initial read in five of the past seven septembers has been an underestimation of the theers, so you have

seasonal variations that are difficult for the government to get its hands around. something to keep in mind as you are looking at the reaction tomorrow. we could be getting, in recent history is any guide, a revision next week higher. i also want to talk about the recent market action we have seen going into this job's report. your is the 10-year yield. in4 basis point increase that photo of time as we have heard some fed rhetoric, economic data that has been more positive. now more likely that we could see another rate increase, perhaps as early as november. one of the things i have been looking at is charting the 10-year versus the bloomberg economic surprise index. indexonomic surprise basically uses a calculus of recent economic reports by how much of a beat or missed estimates. the zero line is the yellow dotted line. we are just getting above that

line again, so economic reports getting better than estimated, as we see the 10-year yield bumping up again. matt: very cool stuff, thank you. scarlet: we are looking at shares of walmart who are dealing with a handful of issues. u.s. officials want the retailer to pay 600 million dollars to wrap up a long-running bribery case. at the walmart investor day, the company said income in the year 2018 will be relatively flat. joining us now is our u.s. consumer reporter shannon pettypiece. hits keep on coming for walmart. this all comes down to the fact that the company for a while did not address their e-commerce strategy. talking to they were investors today, e-commerce came up over and over. they have the founder of jet.com , who they just acquired there. they are sounding more like a tech company and eventually looking more like a tech company, but still, that takes a lot of investment.

if you're looking for earnings growth, profit growth, the company is saying don't look here until next year. they have a lot of money they need to invest to keep up with all the changes going on in retail right now. matt: they have been making strides. it is not like they had been failing continually. they had been posting better-than-expected sales for the past few quarters. shannon: particularly driven by their u.s. stores. in the second quarter, which -- the last corner they reported, online looked like it was picking up momentum, and the company must be seeing some encouraging things in the quarter which has not been reported yet. they expect 30% growth online in the second half of the year, a big part of that because they have added jet. before that acquisition, the company was spending a billion dollars on e-commerce year after year. we were seeing signs that e-commerce growth was slowing, so there were some troubling

signs. we said a hits keep on coming, there are other negative stories on walmart that we can get to. although the shares sold off on this, not necessarily a negative story. we said a hits keep on they have done well, they are regrouping, they are reinvesting cash to do better in the future. shannon: there is a sense they are heading in the right direction. if you are an investor out there, they come back to, why own walmart? there are lots of companies that are posting growth. you could own it as a defensive, you are betting on the economy, but if you're looking for a growth company in retail, there are other options. not that many in retail, but there is amazon. why own walmart and not amazon? theyet: in the meantime, have to plow money into this moneyerce business, that they could be using to wrap up this morning investigation into bribery. sources are telling

us, they have had years long investigations into these allegations which started in 2012 to pay bribes to open up stores faster in mexico. the doj and sec has been trying to build a case, they struggled. they are try to wrap it up before the next administration comes in. what our sources have told us is on the table is a $600 million fine they want walmart to pay. walmart says that is too much. so the investigators are now going back, trying to collect even more evidence to use as leverage on walmart to get them to pay the $600 million. to put that into context, that is a very large fine for foreign corrupt practices act. that would be one of the biggest corporate penalties. for walmart, there are other places they could put that. will it move the needle on earnings? it will probably be a one time charge that they write off and everyone will get past it. at least it will get that overhang past them. scarlet: shannon pettypiece,

i don't think you can go around cursing the leader of the free world without any coptic and since. foreign investments have been flowing out. this is a challenging time for emerging markets. i want to talk about the mexican paso. it is pretty clear on a day-to-day basis, the process of a trump presidency is moving it around. there is some connection there. i'm curious about the fundamentals. let's say trump wins. is it clearly risk off for the peso, is a kind of a thing where the speculators are trading and taking control, divorcing it somewhat from the fundamentals? win: you have hit the nail on the head. most of our customers are pension funds come in dominant funds. the are more concerned with speculative markets, which have latched on to the story. there is a lot of negative things about mexico, if you're

looking for fundamental reasons they are there. trump is sort of the noise. you have low growth, political problems domestically. lame duck president, record low popularity, domestic violence. enough stuff there to say that the peso is a difficult one. because the peso is liquid and tradable, it is often use as a proxy for emerging markets. maybe the fundamentals are not as bad, but it gets pushed around. matt: when we last spoke, the town was being used as a proxy. int about the situation argentina, is it a political situation there as well, not as affected by donald trump or dt uterte? win: argentina is an interesting case. one administration before. fernandez and kirchner basically decimated the economy.

the latest later was elected to free up these things, and he delivered. markets have a devaluation of that magnitude, you will have a year of that stuff, recession, high inflation, high unemployment. seen the effects of reversing these bad policies, but out of these four, argentina has the potential to get out of it in good manner. scarlet: i need to ask about the colombian peso. after the surprising referendum result, people are doubting the government's ability to get anything done, including tax reform. win: they are hoping to pass in october and november. sides havews is both made noise, they want to keep this peace process going. my read is it was rejected because half the population felt it was too lenient on the rebels.

we are going to make this worse on you. the rebels want this, but it will be very hard to do. is oil isews rebounding, so it is really an oil story in columbia. the fundamentals are not bad. -- in colombia. china was emerging, you could talk about these problems. now the tide goes out, and you have a problem in turkey, south africa, philippines, down the list. it is a challenging time. i have been telling clients, just differentiate. we cannot tell which are good and bad stories. joining us now is joe weisenthal, cohost of "would you miss?" let's talk not about the peso,
