this is "nightly business report" with tyler mathisen and sue herrera. >> stalemate talks between greece and its creditors go nowhere. and that's not the only thing rattling investors. there's also unc surrounding the fed. >> few and far between. why deals in the home building sector like today's merger of ryland and standard pacific don't happen often. >> consolidation waves from cigna to anthem and united health and aetna. is merger maenaa catching on in the health care industry? all that and more on "nightly busi re and we bid you good evening, everybody. i'm bill griffith in for tyler mathisen. >> great to have you with us. i'm sue herrera. it's a new week, of course but a familiar worry.

greece debt cross-ice ace pears to be deepening and that rattled investors around the world. european union officials say no new concessions needed to secure funding. e ens says it won't give in to demands for more pension and wage cuts. that stalemate pressured stocks at the openal thoet major indices paired some of the losses. by the close, e dow jones fell 107 points 17,791. well off the fly of 200 points earlier in the day. the nasdaq dropped 21 and the s&p 500 was off nine points. stocks in europe got hit even harder. we have more from london. >> reporter: another day of selling for european stocks as last ditch talks with greece over the weekend failed to result in a deal. all major european indices closing in the red with the greek market being the clear underperformer out there, pulled dune by weakness especially seen in banking stocks. now speaking before european parliament earlier, the ecb

president, he urged both sides to move quickly towards a deal but he also said that ball now is squarely in the greek government's court. cnbc spoke exclusively t greek prime minister and he said that greece and international lenders, they both need to make compromises. >> we really need both sides to climb down from their high horses and really work on a compromise an honorable compromise to find a solution and move forward on this. >> germany's new commissioner has warned that europe must prepare for a state of emergency from the first of july if no deal has been reached by then. for "nightly business report," i'm reporting from london. >> and the breakdown in those greek talks kicked off a week that does promise to be a big one for the markets. dominick shoe tells us now what is on the calendar and why investors need to pay close attention. >> there's a slew of potentially market moving news on the economic and corporate agenda this week.

but three in particular are going to get outside attention. on tuesday, the fed kicks off two days worth of meetings that will ultimately tleed a decision wlon it will look to raise interest rat for the most part many experts aren't expecting any fireworks from the fed. >> i don't think they're going to raise in june. largely because they have -- they haven't really prepared markets for that. they haven't broadcast that. i think once we see a little bit more evidence for consumer spending and really the economy takes some real traction in this improvement that we' seeing i think the fed will be more comfortable. >> also this week there will be a lot of eyes trained on any n developments out of greece and continued negotiations for a bailout practice from other european nations. talks broke down this past weekend and now the threat of a possible debt default by the country is adding volatility to markets globally. there are risks but not yet a sense of panic as many believe a deal will ultimately be struck. >> my guess is this latest deadline feels as binary as any

we've seen. my guess also is that greece will be in the euro-zone as long as germany wants them there. so to that end, the imf and the ecb will try to find a way to extend and get something on both sides that's agreeable and move this forward. >> reporter: that's the big picture. now on the company specific or micro front, both software giant oracle and fedex will report earnings this week both chf could tell a story about the health of certain parts of the economy. we're looking to see that fedex's earnings and revenue lines continue to expand as a sign of where the kple is going. we want to make sure that's -- that's kept its momentum. similar with oracle. we want to see that their orders and their earnings progression continues as an expression of where the economy is going to be. >> depending on how those three events take shape, each could have a real impact on how markets develop this early on in the summer. for "nightly business report," i'm dominick chu. >> joining us to talk about the big week ahead and what it will

mean for markets is kristina hooper. she is evener investment strategist. so the fed is one of the top positions on your list at this point. what do you need to hear from the fed chief? >> well, what we need to hear from chair yellen and what we expect to hear is an emphasis on focusing on the path of rate hikes as opposed to the initial liftoff. we know that market participants are getting more nervous about when the fed will begin acting as it becomes more likely that fed will act before the fourth quarter given the economic data we've seen recently. and so what we need to hear chair yellen say is to really down play the importance of initial liftoff. and emphasize the importance of the path of rate hikes which we expect to be relatively low and take far longer to get to the end of the cycle. >> do you sense that the markets want the fed to cut to raise

rates sooner rather than later? it is something they fear or something they would celebrate? it however, there is a growing group of market participates that would likely celebrate it. at the end of the day, our xpikttation is that most market participates will take it quite well after some kind of initial volatility because they'll recognize that it represents a vote of confidence for the economy. >> a lot of people are going to be watching inflation numbers that we got later this week. how key will that be as you form your investme in strategy for clients? >> inflation is becoming more important. ke in mind it is at a low level today. it's m it carefully as we move forward throug the year. however, we recognize and we advise clients to always be thinking about inflation and be hedging it in portfolios. >> and what about the talks with greece?

they have the debt payments and everything due 30th. but there are other deadlines in terms of the talks with european officials. what is an investor to do with all of that right now? >> well investors need to recognize that the saga in greece will likely continue and that it will create noise on the margins. but investors, if they have a long enough time horizon, need to be focused on their goals and how ve goals. and that's going to be delivered by having adequate exposure to stocks including those sectors that can provide a higher level of growth in the overall market as well as a significant amount of stocks that can provide dividends. because dividend income is very important in this low yield environment. >> all right. kristina thank you. good to see you again. >> thanks for having me. >> kristina hooper. and now to the economy where the rising dollar and weak global demand appear to be further pressuring the

manufacturing sector. industrial production which measures the output of u.s. factories, utilities and mines decreased by .2% from the prior month. meantime home builders sent set rose in june hitting the highest level since september. national association of home builders says they expect optimism to strengthen further in the months ahead. >> two big home builders are merging. ryland and standard pacific are getting together in aedda $5 billion deal. investors like the move sendif both ryland and standard pacific up 5%. bob pisani has more on what is driving the deal and why mergers in this sectorrare. >> reporter: home building mergers are fairly rare events. why? builders don't like to buy each other because what they really want is land. that's what is scarce. so why pay a premium for operations when all you want is land? you buy the land. still, some very good reasons why this deal makes sense for

both sides. first, both co specifically the combined company would have a strong presence in california. for ryland sales go from 9% to revenues to 27% today with lower exposure to the midwest and mid-atlantic regions. second the combined company would have more land to develop and as i said that is the end game for all builders. the combined company would have a good mix of first time and move up buyee thing the deal doesn't have is a big premium. it is being billed as a merger of equals standard pacific is offering to merge with ryeland at the market price. that suggests neither side thinks housing will be seeing robust growth in the near future. for "nightly business report," i'm bob pisani at the new york stock exchange. >> meantime some of the world's department store chains are also getting together n this case it's hudson's bay, the owner of saks fifth avenue and lord & taylor.

they're buying a subsidiary for $3 billion including day. this deal will expand it further into europe. >> drugstore chain cvs health will acquire t and clinic business forforred -- for $2 billion. they will operate them under the cvs brand name in target stores. cvs health says the deal will increase sales and prescriptions. shares of both cvs health and target rose in trading today. >> and today's speculation is any indication another consolidation wave may be coming to the health care space. first, there are reports that cigna rebuffed a take over deal from anthem. and another that united health is also eyeing cigna and possibly aetna. the speculation sent shares of all four stocks higher today. bertha combs sorts it out for us. >> reporter: every day roughly

10,000 babyboomers turn 65 becoming eligible for medicare providing health plans for them is a booming business and that's part of what is driving big health insurers to look for greater scale in medicare. >> we've been saying for a while now that the five insurers will go down to three big players so that they have the scale to capitalize on all the opportunitie tha are being afforded by obamacare and the privatizatio of medicare. >> cigna reportedly rejected a bid of $175 a share from anthem the nation's biggest blue cross operator whiw united health the nation's largest insurer is eyeing the connecticut-based insurer. but the ceo and the board also want to grow their medicare business after acquiring medicare provider health spring three years ago. just last month cigna was said to be among the suitors for medicare giant humana which was reportedly also being quartere aetna and anthem. >> cigna paid the right

price, woint put that deal out of the question. i think humana is clearly seeking certain valuation and more than one suitor at the table with cigna and aetna reportedly rumored to be in the mix, you know anthem is clearly in the mix as well. as far as the cultures of cigna and humana and the management teams, i think there is a fair degree of compatibility. so for the right price, you know cigna could be a buyer or a seller. >> susquehanna analyst describes the insurance sector right now like a big game of pac-man. if cigna is acquired by anthem that means that humana will likely go to aetna for a lower premium. but if cigna doesn't want to sell it's best defense will be to go after humana and pay up. either way, he says it's crazy times ahead. bertha combs, "nightly business report," new york. >> well from speculation and health care to the increasing

surgical training. >> in the fast you'd have to train in theater as a surgeon just like a pilot has to train in the air. but as we've seen over the last 20 30 years, pilots are now getting much of their training, the trag in simulation. the biotech ceos previously founded sirius radio shared their visions for the future as well. >> a million americans die each year of organ disease. a quarter million in lung disease. even more in stage kidney liver, and heart disease. being able to provide these million americans with a replacement organ, you would have a level of revenues which is something on the order of $10 billion per year. >> reporter: but amid the sci-fi discussions, the doctor of the university of pennsylvania raised increasingly urgent questions. what is this all going to cost and how will we pay for it? >> we end up taking the technology which is cost effective for a small group and

applying it much more broadly. one of the consequences is the bang the benefit that you end it costs that you had quickly becomes dissipated. >> reporte he forecasts the costs will be increasingly discussed as the presidential election heats up. for "nightly business report," i'm meg terrell in philadelphia. and still ahead, the one thing that costs corporate america tens of billions of dollars in the first quarter. united technologies plans to sell or spin off the aircraft unit. the company says the sale would shave about 10 cents a share off

brazil and russia since currencies plunged dramatically. other companies like procter & ga and pepsi said they're raising prices for consumer items on shelves abroad to help offset the currency losses. there is a silver lining. that is the euro is actually stronger against the dollar so far this quarter, up 4.5% which could provide some much needed relief for american companies that do business in europe. longer term though wall street expects the u.s. dollar to continue to strengthen as the federal reserve prepares to raise interest rates. so companies are going to have to get creative and prepare for more pain when it comes to currencies and some of the most brutal swings in history. for "nightly business report," i'm sayer why eisen. coming up a dramatic change in the city by the bay. we'll tell you why the views in san francie.
