this is bloomberg. ♪ >> i am matt miller. welcome to bloomberg markets. here are the tops toys we are following for you around the world. outpacing fear. david solomon spoke at the new economy forum. the ultimate validation of tesla. the automaker's public debut. we will bring in our editor-in-chief to explain. 's short interest in the market. a leading analyst firm.

we see the s&p 500 down about a quarter percent. the u.s. ten-year is losing a little bit in terms of its yield. the dollar index falling and crude coming off $2.19 a barrel as we hear more about the possibility of a release. we are also getting the results of the 20 year auction. take a look at the bond. we will get more coverage on that bond auction later in the program. right now i want to get to one of the stocks that is moving today. this comes after t.j. maxx posted third-quarter results.

the supply chain is having a big effect on a lot of retailers, heading into the holidays. t.j. maxx or tk max, as it is known outside the u.s., not getting hit too hard by other concerns. >> that is correct. they have enough inventory for the holiday season. we think they are in the best shape that we have seen so far. matt: they are getting away with it. those who sell staples are seeing a lot more margin

pressure. >> they noted they would have 80 to 90 basis points for the fourth quarter. the margin is there across the board. inventory was the silver lining. for a long time, everyone questioned, how will there be excess inventory when we are in a supply chain crunch? they managed to pull it off. matt: we had horrible numbers, a decade low last week. what does it look like to you? >> retail spending looks great. part of it is driven by rising balance sheets. the concern is the inflation. we are all seeing higher prices.

people are paying, so i think that is what we want to look at before the holidays. we see strong spending. matt: talking about all the retailers that we have seen from walmart to home depot. tumbling today. it is the first down day. it is worth more than general motors. matt winkler says the move to the public market aside, especially considering they have given it this value. thank you so much for your time today.

it does look like the markets have really embraced this technology. >> right. everybody can think tesla for where we are today. back a decade, it was a public company in 2010. the model s was the first vehicle that was sold to everyone. the sales of tesla increased 270 times. the rest of the industry was pretty much flat as a pancake. that is what got everybody's attention. maybe there is a convergence of people's provinces. it is the existential threat of our time. they want alternative energy. tesla did that and achieved

that. musk has pointed out that it achieved a profit in 2020 last year. it got to a point where it is breakeven in cash flow. matt: the last 100 years of automotive startups, combustion and electric, nobody has been able to achieve that and stay in business. one of the interesting comparisons in your piece was the fact that tesla had real revenue before the ipo. tesla also, even though everybody was ripping on elon musk, they spent a ton more than tesla ever did.

>> they spent a lot less money to get where tesla is today. having said that, tesla paved the way. that is a big transformation. jeff bezos is the man responsible. his company is responsible for ordering 100,000. the fact that amazon is so committed gives people a real sense of confidence that it is here to stay. that is a really big difference. tesla has a huge advantage, but they are likely to do pretty well. matt: i think they have a 20%

stake in vivian -- and it. i see that ford has a 12% stake. it is an incumbent automaker. does it give some kind of advantage? >> you could say the same about everyone in the ev space that does not have sales to speak of. this is going to be increasingly profitable. it looks miserable at the moment, but it will get bigger. next year, it will have its own electric version of the f-150. the most popular, best-selling truck. matt: the most popular vehicle.

i'm excited to see the lightning come out. i am excited to see the cyber truck, when that comes out. >> tesla is doing well enough with the model three and all these vehicles that are doing very well. matt: there is a lot to come thank you for joining us. talking to us about the giant market cap confirming the success of tesla. here is something that has caught my eye. exploring deals with the mclaren group as it looks for ways to promote its own electric car technology. it is said to be planning the

studies of financials to help decide on a transaction. they may not decide until next year and they may pursue alternative partnerships, but we do know that they may one to get their brand into formula one, which would make it a lot more exciting. let's get back to those results right now. that auction, dealing 79.6% versus 80.4% average. a little bit different than we have seen previously. the bid to cover ratio compared

to that average. 16.2%, some people think that is an indication of the central bank outside of the u.s. buying these bonds. coming up, singapore's prime minister warns about miscalculation over taiwan. we will bring you that conversation, next. this is bloomberg. ♪

stocks and ev startups. let me ask you first about the tesla story. what is your take? >> i think the only person who knows what elon musk is doing is elon musk. he is now the seller, the shorts are covering. i do not know who will send short shorts to one another. matt: we are looking at a chart of the institutional long, the big number in white, versus the shorts in yellow. the most shorted stock on the s&p 500. how has that changed?

>> it has not. the shorts dug in. they are covering a little bit. they are still there and quite sizable. matt: where else are you seeing big shorts now? we have a big homebuilder. i'm looking at the real estate market every day. what is the story there? >> it basically encapsulate the whole of it. homebuilders cannot make money with rising interest rates and rising input costs. the shorts are going to billions

of dollars, but the long is also increasing. you can see the tectonic plates rubbing up against each other. perhaps there is a volcanic eruption. this is how systemic risks happen. one of the stocks to watch is a bellwether for how it will go in the future. matt: it looks like some of them are moving up against an immovable force. the longs are so big that it does not look like they could make a dent. >> that is the interesting thing. we had a number one -- look at the data analytics and see that there is predictive value. we will get to that in a second. over time, what we have seen is

i am mark crumpton, this is bloomberg. amanda: welcome to bloomberg markets. matt: welcome to our audiences at this hour. here are the top stories we are following from around the world. goldman sachs ceo warns on what lies ahead for the market is the economy recovers the from the pandemic, we cover his comments from the bluebird new economy form. the reopening as it continues, u.s. housing starts unexpectedly , it disrupts building activity and labor sure to just persist. plus, nissan also struggling with supply chain issues. some good news is reservations are now over open -- are now

open for the new electric crossover. if you are a fan of that sort of thing or a stockholder, that is good news. there is more coming up. amanda. amanda: the one bright spot on these markets is moving higher in what is otherwise a down day. really, the headline moves don't really reflect the negativity of the internal. s&p 500, every subgroup down except for consumer discretionary and health care. on consumer discretionary, amazon's 1% move higher may be boosting the group. that comes as we are hearing from other retailers, notably walmart and target, that they are absorbing some of the higher costs in turning their margins. on the other side of the ledger, we will talk about visa trading sharply lower as amazon takes on its retailer fees. that is one place to watch. the 10 year, 1.6 percent, we've been watching the yield curve to see whether we get any sort of steepening after. -- after of period of relative

flatness. the big conversation has been around inflation and where the markets go for here. for what it is worth, the bluebird new economy form which is underway in singapore has got world and financial leaders in attendance. as ever, and includes high-powered conversation including one with francine and goldman sachs ceo who happen to have a warning for investors. >> when i step back and think about my 40 year career, there have been periods of time where greed has far outpaced fear. we were in one of those periods of time. generally speaking, my experiences this periods are not long lift. something will rebalance it and bring a little bit more perspective. certainly, given it feels like inflation is running above trend, changes or interest rates will move up. if they move up, it that in and of itself will take some of the exuberance out. amanda: in some ways, it is sort

of obvious what he is saying. but it is always relevant for my 25 years of watching the stuff, i don't a how young he was when he got into the business, when the folks who are really benefiting from these markets start to stay look, it is getting frothy -- they are the last ones who are going to yell frier and a credit beater. with the world -- when did david solomons of the world say to get out of assuming pool, we should pay attention. matt: it is an important comment. the entire interview francine did with solomon was really interesting for investors in these markets, measures for people watching the banks performance, but a fascinating market conversation. when the ceo of goldman sachs says it is time to go, it might be time to go. it is not like he is going to make money, it is not like he is shorting the market and looking for to go down. he is giving you some legit

advice, if ever he has. amanda: totally agree with that. matt: good, we are in agreement. that is rare. 10 for the stock of the hour, the power of amazon is being felt today in the credit card industry as processors fall following amazon's threat to stop accepting u.k. issued visa credit cards. predictive debt is a look. -- prita gupta is taking a look. >> the ideas those seeds are getting higher and higher. you go to amazon or any other retailer and use a credit card, the company charges you a pretty big fee. especially over in the u.k. since they have left the eu, those fees have gone even higher for that country, especially because we do not have the eu cap's.

here in the states, they have risen over $100 billion per year. that is what amazon's turn to put a stop to by saying they are not going to be accepting visa credit cards, and you can see it is taking a big hit to mastercard, discover and visa itself. all of those companies, even though it is only really visa they are talking to specifically. this talk about the fees that have stephen visa in particular. they're actually the lowest when it comes to some of their peers. not only does the card company have to charge you the first time you make a personage -- purchase, but if you return something, they charge you three times. first on the sale, then the return, then reissuing the new exchange. so those fees, especially for a company like amazon that does give you free returns, those costs have gotten really high. amanda: we have seen critical usage declined during the pandemic. and a bank analysts are looking

in the coming quarters to see that component grow again. kriti: in the last year, customers have really dipped into their savings or used fiscal stimulus checks. this idea there is a bit of uncertainty in the market and the economy, libido job uncertainty, do you really want to wreck up critic our debt -- a little bit of job uncertainty, do you really want to rock up -- wrack up credit card debt? matt: thank you so much for joining us. kriti gupta talking to us about the stock of the hour. it really is a visa story, at least a retail story. u.s. home construction slowing down, but condo sales are booming and most of manhattan. we get insight from a ceo, this is bloomberg. ♪

matt: this is bloomberg markets, i am matt miller with amanda lang. a new round of data came out this morning on u.s. housing. the numbers showed a new home construction unexpectedly slowing down, at the worst possible time. driven by a drop in single-family projects, new home construction fell 0.7% for the third drop in four months. exactly when they should be building more. the problem is, they cannot get the stuff they need to put the houses together with the people they need to put the stuff together. it is really confounding me. amanda: this is one, there may be a growing debate. you will see with economists of how much we are seeing is a supply-side driven inflationary period, how much is the demand side.

this 100% is the fly side. the demand is at record levels. the backlog of applications at a very high level. builders know if they can hang on, they will get the homes built eventually. meantime, this situation has real inflationary pricing happening in housing on the side of the border and that. and it probably hit see where it hurts, because you're in the market. i feel for anybody in the market. matt: i saw somebody buy a house in september and put it back on the market sunday for 20% more than she or he paid for it. by the time i saw the open house and got back to my apartment in new york, they had for offers and it was gone. you are seeing that -- my story is not unique. the new york times had a great piece on it. but everyone has been talking about it for weeks. for a while, we saw deals in the city. i thought, that is a silver lining. for my own personal move, i will

go back to new york. but those prices have skyrocketed, as well. i want to get some more on that. it's bring in bess freedman, ceo of brown harris season's -- brown harris stevens with annual sales of $9 billion. i know the condo demand is soaring, but co-op demand is strong, too. even though it is such a difficult process. bess: it is. nice to see you, by the way. sorry you are having such a hard time trying to find a home. if you need an agent, let us know. the demand is really strong in new york city, which is great. as you know, during the pandemic, we were very slow down and now we are seeing people return to new york city and we love that. you are seeing companies like microsoft and disney into google expanding their space, which is also good for new york city.

but yes, the market is back. as you guys talked about before, you are seeing some slowdown in other places. but that is because of supply. things are picking up in price, so that is tightening a bit. david solomon said exuberance out of the market when interest rates go up, or in supply get skinnier. then the prices take up. but also takes exuberance out of the market. we are seeing some of that in other regions. amanda: one of the reasons we fear inflation and -- is it changes our spending habits. in the case of housing, we are seeing preapproval for mortgage is soaring. we are seeing some purchases pulled forward as people at the margin think, i better get in now because it is only going to get worse. your mortgage is only going to get more expensive in the months, maybe years ahead. how distorting is that right now, that people are rushing into this market were otherwise

they might have waited even a year or two? bess: i do think there are some people jumping in right now. what is inflation? too much money chasing too few goods. people are starting to feel like rates are going to take up. -- take up. -- tick up. i had some friends, during the pandemic they decided to buy. when i asked them, why are you guys buying, they said we wanted to make something our own. we wanted to build a little home office, wanted to do a lot of improvements. we felt like we were in temporary space. so they ended up purchasing during the pandemic, they did very well. already they feel like they could sell their apartment for more. so i think a lot of people started to feel that pressure you to they are feeling that now. they want to invest in something that not only as a long-term investment, but is a place where they live that is sacred and means a lot to them. many times, they are raising

families or newlyweds or whatever it is. your home is an emotional commodity, and it matters in a big way to people. matt: would you think about new inventory or lack thereof? i am looking at this gigantic residential tower over here just south in midtown. and thinking man, we should build a few more of those. but there is not a lot of space here to do that. bess: there is not a lot of space, and it is expensive to buy land. the whole undertaking is a challenge. we have a new mayor coming in january 1, who is very pro-business and pro-people. he is a unifier, i believe, and he will stand above all of this divisive sort of politics and lead us to a good place in new york. but people, we want to create more homes. we need to take care of her homeless. we've a lot of issues in new york. we've a lot of good supply, which is why people are buying now which is excellent. other places are challenged. but i don't see a lot of

building more in this cycle. i think right now, people are trying to steady what is going on. amanda: just a few seconds here, is there a correlating increase in rent? affordability comes to mind. new york is one place you can rent a bit place to live, but are they also making it less and less affordable? bess: it is becoming less affordable. rents are at a historic high. just as i mentioned, microsoft, google and disney are taking space and more people are coming, people have to come back to the office, things are opening up. i think they are going to keep going up. it is becoming very expensive to be here, yes. you could get a bargain during the pandemic, that is gone. that has all disappeared. amanda: great to have you with us, good to check in. bess freedman, ceo of brown harris stevens. coming up, taking orders. nissan opens up reservations in the u.s. for the 2023 ev. we will talk about that move and

electric, i'm also looking forward to seeing some electric vehicles in my garage in the future. but nissan makes some very exciting engines. did you know there are only for people who are allowed to build the six-cylinder engine that goes in the gtr? only four people in the world, they are all in japan. amanda: really? i also wonder what is not in your head, because that piece of knowledge is, but i think it is fascinating you know that. it's the kind of thing you bring, i appreciate it. matt: thank you so much for appreciating that. that was mike colleran of nissan. this is bloomberg. ♪
