wl ross and company is already an economic adviser to donald trump. there is no immediate word from his transition team on the political report. house democrats have delayed their elections on whether to keep nancy pelosi as their leader. elections had been scheduled for thursday but now we'll look on november 30. democrats gained seats in the election but not as many as initially expected. a week after losing the presidential election, hillary clinton was the winner in new hampshire. that brings her electoral college vote total to 232. still officially undeclared is a michigan where trump has a razor thin lead. in egypt, -- struct on the death sentence against morsi. he was facing execution for his role in a mass prison break in 2011. today's ruling means he will get a trial, along with five other muslim of the

unders assets come pressure. joe: but the question is, what's next. >> investors pulling back with base metals facing a huge reverse. what is the market initial reaction to much? good donald trump face millions of dollars. he could dismantle key regulations intended to prevent a financial crisis. plus, what would a federal reserve in a trump financial presidency look like? joe: let's take a look at the major averages as we go into the final half hour of trading. abigail doolittle has more. abigail: a wishy-washy day. with alooking at eanes bullish ending for the three major averages, especially the nasdaq up more than 1% but the dow is red.

this is notable when you take a look at the five-day chart, a nice gain of 3% but what really makes the gain in the dow into the green notable is that it puts it on pace for the fourth record close in a row. real strength there. helping the dow today, different stuff. for verizon, chevron and microsoft and apple. verizon could be higher as we have rates falling with a dividend holding stock. it becomes more attractive as rates fall. chevron helped out by oil. and we have apple and microsoft also trading higher as a bit of a reversal of the weakness we have seen recently in tech, getting a boost today. as for the strength and oil, we take a look at oil and copper and we see a tale of two stories within the commodity complex. up more than 6%, the best day since the end of september. that is on the news that opec

may be close to making a deal for a supply cut that has been in the works for quite some time. time will tell whether it goes through. copper down modestly off the lows. but really, copper is on a monster rally. for the month. on pace for the best month. so the question is, is today's move lower a paz before they continue going higher? or does it represent a reversal? we go into the bloomberg and five-year chart of copper. a monthly chart. each one represents a month. the most recent candle with a huge spike higher, right now a 14% move, it had been close last week, we see that at this point, copper is within this long-term downtrend, a d sending trading range. unless they can go back above actuallye, we could

see it trade back down into the range. time will tell. joe: thank you. insidepower struggles donald trump's transition team are holding up efforts to create a new government. highlighted by the departure of mike rogers, who had been picked by chris christie to lead national security planning. according to two people close to he had been fired, orchestrated by the son-in-law who had one of the most influential voices in the campaign. wayne joins us now. and alex, there is shared kushnerbetween jerod and chris christie which resulted in mike rogers being expendable. walk us back to what happened? quite a bit of insight. chris christie prosecuted his father about a decade ago for yearvasion and he spent a

in prison. so there is a pretty good history of bad blood between these two men. it isn't terribly surprising that kushner and see the opportunity to blend the trump organization of anything regarding chris christie. obama made fun of donald trump at the white house correspondents dinner years ago and now donald trump is his successor. kushner waited years and finally, gets revenge for his father. it seems to be a theme. dish bestnge is a served behind closed doors. to chriswhat happens christie? does he have a role to play in the new administration? have we seen the last of him? alex: i think he is probably done. weref his top aides recently indicted for the shenanigans on the george washington bridge. couple of years ago.

that investigation has come very close to chris christie himself. an idol think a president whose campaign is a pledge to throw his opponent in jail can really afford to have chris christie, perhaps -- who knows what he will be facing but i don't think trump wants him to close anymore. ryantoday we heard paul say had today marks the dawn of a new republican government or something like that. how optimistic are republicans, actually, that they will stay on the same page as trump? that they actually can have a unified agenda? alex: they are talking a good game right now. but the tires haven't hit the road yet. we will see what happens on january 20. they are talking about trying to repeal obamacare out the gate, as soon as trump takes office, or to get that through the senate they first have to pass a budget through both chambers and

write up a bill that would repeal the thing. there is a lot of legwork to do here. and a lot of political games to be played. scarlet: and trump has said himself that there are provisions in obamacare that he would like to keep. the republicans are obviously thrilled that reince priebus will be the chief of staff. headder how much scratching there is that steve bannon is the chief strategist. are they on the same page as him? alex: no one is saying anything about him. there are a lot of complements with reince priebus but no complements for steve bannon. , of course, a lot of controversy about him. a lot of questions about his ties to the old right, a splinter political movement of nationalist and anti-immigrants. and antiestablishment and

potentially, racist conservatives. longhat is causing alarm a with a lot of democrats and it is causing republicans to keep their heads down. joe: and brutal towards paul ryan, they have never had support for him. alex: that's right. it is an official yet but the republicans unanimously said paul ryan is their guy in the next congress. betty: -- scarlet: anyone is waiting for the nominations. trumpporter of donald sent out a tweet today regarding the transition. he said "spoke to trump. -- both would be great choices, great friends of mine but they are two of the smartest people i now." joe: these names do not seem

antiestablishment or anti-wall street. is there any common thread? people throw out john bolton for secretary of state. not a name that people would associate with foreign policy. obviously, these finance guys for treasury. is there any threads that make sense? are all trump loyalists. trump is rewarding his friends. it is a bit of a different approach than barack obama taking on the presidency. a lot of his cabinet picks went to people who were not such close surrogates of his during the campaign. hasthe current president not criticized the picks so far. scarlet: the president held an hour-long news conference yesterday. when mike me expect to see donald trump come out and hold a news conference?

alex: i would expect that this will probably be a day or two after the election. i'm not sure what he is waiting for. it would be a great time to announce the cabinet picks. hopefully he won't do it by a simple statement. scarlet: all right, alex wayne, we will see. bloomberg's u.s. government reporter joining us from the washington bureau. joe: coming up on what you missed, -- on what a trump presidency and the brexit vote means to europe. this is bloomberg. ♪

joe: "what did you miss? " brexit negotiations or donald

trump. earlier, we pose that question to jean claude trichet a. jean-claude: i would say in my perspective, both are linked. and they signal a level of frustration in people in the middle class of the advanced economies. isn't just the u.k. or the united states, it is certainly a message coming from our own people, which is suggesting that things are going to rapidly. china andition of mexico and brazil, the rise of i.t., all of this is creating a level of anxiety which is for real and we have to accept that message and give the appropriate response. it is a problem for all advanced economies.

jonathan: when you ran the ecb, it was looked at as an opportunity for more euro. are euro on the back of crisis. so you, more europe, is it still an opportunity and answer? or is it now the problem? i think that, in a way, we had a lot of decisions which were taken in the crisis, to cope with the crisis. and i have to stress decisions -- new for example, the macro procedure. decisionsimportant which were taken in the crisis and had to be implemented. it seems to be that more europe is absolutely needed in security role withd a federal

border police. clearly with migration. so we have a lot of things to do , it seems to me. it isn't really disputed. it is difficult. that europe is a historical endeavor. and we are making history in europe. we have to accept that. history is not easy. it is complex and complicated and you don't have a blueprint. the u.s. was not made out of a blueprint. was u.s. citizens that created the united states. butave a lot of challenges, i am optimistic on the long-term success of the european and never. david: explain that optimism and put together the two things that you talked about. on one hand, anxiety about too much change, particularly in the middle class, which creates little headwind for this sort of

further integration and developments you need in europe. how do you put them together? is it politically doable? thatclaude: again, i agree life, in all advanced economies, is not easy. it is complicated. and it will become located for a long amount of time because the and mexico and china, it is therefore long amount of time. and i also think that you cannot expect that you would prevent a science and technology to search magnificently. so everything is difficult. but what i am reasonably confident in is the fact that most of our challenges in europe are continental challenges and not single, individual country challenges. continent, there is a

difference of a u.k., because there is a strong sentiment that we engaged in a historical endeavor. has beenuropean union an endeavor since world war ii. historical endeavor. we proved resiliency in a crisis in a way that was always underestimated in the u.s. and asia. proved to be resilient in the worst financial circumstances. this is also part of my intimate conviction that we are resilient. joe: that was former ecb president, jean claude trichet. falling the most since

he turned it around and sold it. eight himself a billion dollars. invested in hollywood and became a player. next thing you know he signs up to be trumps finance chairman and now he is talking about treasury secretary. it is typical donald trump. taking people who are loyal to him and rewarding them. that is different than what he said, i'm going to find the best people. we are one a take them forever. i'm not sure he is doing that yet. i wish he would do that more. there is a lot of talent out there. maybe jim and -- maybe jamie dimon would but he said no. people will be happy to be considered. joe: the common thread is people who were loyal to trump, and beyond that we don't know about how he would be a treasury secretary. >> i have little idea. he would be good for bankers.

we will bring you back another day. snapchat is beginning its ipo process. a major step forward in one of the highest profile debuts in recent years. this is bloomberg.

scarlet: matt: snap has filed for an initial public offering. last month snapchat would seek to raise or billion dollars in its initial public offering and an evaluation of 25 to $35 billion. the details.

remind us what a confidential ipo means. >> if you make less than $1 billion in revenue annually you can file secretly and it gives to test thee chance waters and have conversations they were not allowed to have prior to sort out valuation and do some of these things. joe: what is the timeline between a secret tiling and a public filing? a this could be on file for bit of time confidentially. we have reported they're looking to go in the first quarter. march is what our sources are telling us. we will see them file closer to that time. then you see them set terms and then actually list. scarlet: is there any urgency to go forward? a lot of companies have 20 of crash coming to them. >> it seems like this is a capital raise. giving their investors liquidity.

it is not that old of a business. it has been around less than five years. it's a quick time for them to exist and go public. historically, it seems like it is more of them getting out there, getting the capital. they have a lot of different pools of capital. the we have any sense on at company is profitable or how it is from a revenue perspective? >> they're not making money now. they are aiming to generate $350 million this year. joe: that is massive revenue. >> massive but not really. it's not really massive amounts of revenue. they are looking to $1 billion next year. that is still not a lot of money for a company with the fanfare of $18 private valuation

billion, and the aspiring public valuation. there is some justification of valuation i will have to go on. joe is always on his phone using twitter and facebook. what else is snapchat doing besides the app? is there something more to it? is there a bigger story? >> that will be a bigger photo sharing thing. cane are stories were you link your photos and videos together. they can actually put stuff into it. that seems to be we a lot of the focuses. that is what they are going to make in their money. it will be extremely important for the company to lay out to

investors how revenue is going to come in. when you look at the comps that are out there you have twitter and facebook. facebook has been able to make money off of its users. we have seen how twitter has fallen off of a cliff. scarlet: thank you. joe: up next, what janet yellen and the federal reserve will be in the crosshairs of president-elect donald trump. ♪

joe: president-elect donald

trump could spell trouble for the federal reserve. columnist wrote today research has documented central banks around the world have been better under control if they enjoy independence from elected officials. the election of donald trump is a good time to remind ourselves historically the executive branch is presented the greatest threat to the independence of the u.s. federal reserve. professor andhe senior director of the organ economic forum at the university of oregon, thank you for joining us. you have been warning about the threats to central bank independence under a trumpet ministration. why in your view does a trump administration present a threat -- independence? >> we have seen trump offered differing opinions on what good

monetary policy should be. she has gone back-and-forth to low interest rates are good and bad. , the shell question expected to just follow his lead? joe: do you think investors are looking for the possibility -- bloomberg intelligence had a chart we showed earlier showing there is a 10% chance of rate hikes next year. a trump administration in the face of three rate heights is a low possibility. they may perceive they are working cross current giving the economy up. what could arise if the tension builds? >> that is exactly the issue. is this going to be an antagonistic relationship? the concern would be we have two

governorships. the trump administration will take members that would in fact push for dovish policy. that committee first thing. pressure is there on them to leave? legislation that should be taken on the fed to change the makeup of the fed should congress want to work with donald trump on that? >> with all aspects of trump policy there is a significant mixed signals, monetary policy seems no exception. last summer he was talking about the fed should not raise rates and that a weak dollar was good. late in the season he slammed janet yellen for artificially keeping rates low. one of his own advisors comes out as the hard money school.

how hard does this make your job was the administration antagonistic and seems to have so many views on central banking? >> it makes the job difficult, trying to make any predictions on what the federal reserve is going to look like under donald trump. virtually impossible. we don't know what kind of people you will ultimately appoint to these positions. the best case scenario is we consistent with best central banking practices, that we pick people for the position that are competent, not that they have been friendly to the administration. joe: let's ignore politics and talk about the economy. we have a strong retail sales report today. it suggests a farming economy. we got the atlanta fed wage

tracker year-over-year by that measure of wages. trump aside, what kind of economy is the fed looking at right now? how may it affect rate hikes going forward? >> the economy looks fairly solid. we are seeing growth bounceback. fundamentals are looking good on housing. that definitely december is still on for this rate hike. the fed is going to have to consider whether they want to accelerate from 2-3 to four rate hike next year. the date is pointing in that direction. joe: we have seen a repricing at the long end of the yield curve on.ce trump w

does that make sense? is this a logical market reaction to this? >> that is my opinion. republican administrations have tended to be deficit friendly. that deficit friendly type of environment is going to mean a blast of fiscal stimulus. monetary policy, all of that falls in line with my thought process right now. joe: all right. awesome to get your perspective. >> happy to give it. >> coming up, what you need to know for tomorrow's training day. -- trading day. ♪

scarlet: james fuller it and patrick harper are scheduled to speak. everyone is looking for insight into where they stand next year. joe: and there is going to be more economic data. tencent earnings tomorrow at 7:00 a.m.. a huge guest on what did you miss tomorrow. on chanos will have a take this postelection rally is too much too soon. what his pixar in terms of individual companies. joe: it should be a fascinating conversation. looking forward to getting his perspective. peopleeas of the market
