- 0:59Speaker 1: of the timing of when the next rate hike might
- 1:01Speaker 1: be and effectively backed away from tower of her comments
- 1:06Speaker 1: recently when she said that the said would be raising
- 1:10Speaker 1: rates in coming months and FED policymakers will be meeting
- 1:13Speaker 1: next a week. Investors moved past the weakest monthly employment

- 2:21Speaker 1: you from the Bloomberg News remind Mark Crumpton. Hillary Clinton
- 2:24Speaker 1: is getting closer to clinching the Democratic presidential nomination. Speaking
- 2:29Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, Mrs Clinton said she's excited about the
- 2:32Speaker 1: possibility of becoming the first female nominee for president. My
- 2:36Speaker 1: supporters are passionate, they are committed. They have voted for
- 2:40Speaker 1: me in great numbers across our country for many reasons.
- 2:45Speaker 1: But among those reasons is their belief that um having
- 2:49Speaker 1: a woman president will make a great statement, a historic
- 2:54Speaker 1: statement about what kind of country we are, what we
- 2:57Speaker 1: stand for. It's really emotional. At a news conference in Emeryville, California,
- 3:03Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders blasted Donald Trump for accusing the federal judge
- 3:07Speaker 1: presiding over a class action lawsuit against defunct Trump University
- 3:12Speaker 1: of being impartial because of his Mexican heritage. This is
- 3:15Speaker 1: the year two thousand and sixteen to attack a judge
- 3:20Speaker 1: because he goes a Mexican heritage. Man born in the
- 3:24Speaker 1: state of Indiana. Sanders says he's hoping to win California
- 3:28Speaker 1: and didn't answer a question about whether he would endorse
- 3:31Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton if he doesn't. Governor Cuomo is issued the

- 3:55Speaker 1: four hours a day, powered by our two hundred journalists
- 3:58Speaker 1: in more than one hundred fifth news bureaus around the world.
- 4:02Speaker 1: From the Bloomberg Newsroom, I'm Mark Crompton, Charlie, and we
- 4:05Speaker 1: thank you and again recapping it was an update for
- 4:07Speaker 1: the Dow, the SMP and Nestack SMP five hundred index
- 4:12Speaker 1: up ten points to twenty one oh nine, a gain
- 4:15Speaker 1: of five tenths of one percent. I'm Charlie Pelaton. That's
- 4:18Speaker 1: a Bloomberg business flash move around mostly create promotion at
- 4:23Speaker 1: the elite. Move you moved like they do. I've never
- 4:28Speaker 1: seen anyone move that fast. Five people, Let's move like
- 4:34Speaker 1: you've got a purpose. That was called movers and shakers.
- 4:42Speaker 1: They cost a little more. That name cracked me up.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Bloomberg taking stock movers and shakers with Pim Fox and
- 4:55Speaker 1: Kathleen As on Bloomberg Radio. Stocks many to move higher today.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Janet Yellen says eventually she'll be pushing for that next
- 5:04Speaker 1: interest rate increase. And this was enough to help stocks
- 5:08Speaker 1: shake off some early worries about where she was heading
- 5:10Speaker 1: with her speech in Philadelphia. Perhaps people are saying, look,
- 5:14Speaker 1: if she feels good enough about the economy to boost
- 5:17Speaker 1: rates eventually, I feel good enough to buy some equities today.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Looking inside the SMP five hundred, we see the three
- 5:23Speaker 1: thirty five companies share prices closed higher a hundred sixty
- 5:26Speaker 1: eight lower to unchanged gableson our stocks. That it is
- 5:29Speaker 1: back to kickoff movers and shakers. I'll tell you. There
- 5:31Speaker 1: are a lot of stock moves related to the annual
- 5:34Speaker 1: meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which started
- 5:37Speaker 1: on Friday and runs through tomorrow. Maybe the most noteworthy one, though,
- 5:42Speaker 1: was in the shares of ab The uh study results
- 5:45Speaker 1: on the company's proposed treatment for a form of lung
- 5:48Speaker 1: cancer showed patients survive for a shorter time than typical
- 5:53Speaker 1: for those on chemotherapy. Now, the drugs being developed by
- 5:57Speaker 1: Stem Centrics, which Abby just finished buying for five point
- 6:02Speaker 1: eight billion dollars, so these results did not go over well.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Abvy shares down three point four percent in today's trading. Well,
- 6:11Speaker 1: let's look at somebody who moved higher today by some
- 6:14Speaker 1: four point six percent, and that is a devon energy.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Of course, there are oil and natural gas producer based
- 6:21Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City. They're making good on their plan to
- 6:25Speaker 1: sell three billion dollars worth of assets to fund drilling
- 6:27Speaker 1: and lower debt. They agreed to sell fields in Texas
- 6:31Speaker 1: and Oklahoma and a royalty interest in the Northern Midland
- 6:34Speaker 1: Basis for nearly one billion dollars to undisclosed buyers. The
- 6:38Speaker 1: largest transaction data was for reserves in East Texas for
- 6:42Speaker 1: five five million dollars. But they also agreed to sell
- 6:45Speaker 1: their position in the Anadarcho Basins Granite Wash area for
- 6:48Speaker 1: three hundred ten millions, So investors giving this a thumbs up.
- 6:53Speaker 1: T Mobile US, now there is an interesting plan going
- 6:57Speaker 1: on there. They came out with their latest offer for
- 7:00Speaker 1: subscribers and they're giving one share of their stock to
- 7:04Speaker 1: each one that signs a contract for service. Then beyond that,
- 7:09Speaker 1: subscribers can earn a share for customer referrals, and if
- 7:12Speaker 1: you've been with T Mobile US for five or more years,
- 7:15Speaker 1: you get two shares for referrals. And they had thirty
- 7:18Speaker 1: two point seven million what the industry calls post paid subscribers.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Those are the ones that signed contracts as opposed to
- 7:26Speaker 1: paying as they go. Well, put that all together in
- 7:29Speaker 1: T mobile US with a drop of one point three
- 7:33Speaker 1: percent in today's trading, So this idea of a share
- 7:36Speaker 1: giveaway didn't go over all that Well, what should I do?
- 7:40Speaker 1: Not what I say? That seems to be what's going
- 7:42Speaker 1: on with the best Buy today. The shares are down
- 7:46Speaker 1: some three point one percent at the close. After their CEO,
- 7:51Speaker 1: Hubert Jolie, sold nearly thirteen million dollars of his stock
- 7:55Speaker 1: stock he cut his equity stake in best Buy by
- 7:57Speaker 1: forty four percent. Uh he joined best Buy in twenty twelve,
- 8:02Speaker 1: and of course the company is saying that he has
- 8:03Speaker 1: no plans to leave his role. But of course this
- 8:06Speaker 1: news rattled investors because they are looking to Joey to
- 8:10Speaker 1: complete a turnaround of the retail chain, and he's been
- 8:13Speaker 1: latted for cutting costs and selling off foreign divisions. But
- 8:15Speaker 1: the company hasn't yet to return to study sales growth.
- 8:18Speaker 1: So Sunny selling stock sending a negative message to investors.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Good day for the car rental business for couple of reasons.
- 8:25Speaker 1: One is that Hurts Global Holdings. The board approved a
- 8:29Speaker 1: plan to split the equipment rental business from the main
- 8:34Speaker 1: car rental company, So that's going to happen, something that's
- 8:37Speaker 1: been in the works for a while. And then you
- 8:39Speaker 1: had Avis a his budget group, to be more precise,
- 8:43Speaker 1: come out at a Golden Sacks conference and talk about
- 8:46Speaker 1: how pricing was actually starting to recover in the rental
- 8:50Speaker 1: car industry. That's been an area where they've had issues
- 8:53Speaker 1: for some time. So you saw Hurts and Avis both
- 8:57Speaker 1: up seven point two percent in today's Ready. Well, uh,
- 9:01Speaker 1: it isn't a big move in Walmart stock today. It's
- 9:04Speaker 1: only about well, it's a quarter of a percent. But
- 9:06Speaker 1: I think people who are interested in Walmart want to
- 9:08Speaker 1: take note of Jeffrey's upgrading Walmart from neutral to buy.
- 9:12Speaker 1: The price target eighty two bucks from sixty and in fact,
- 9:16Speaker 1: Daniel Binder listed ten reasons to buy Walmart, opining that quote,
- 9:21Speaker 1: the battleship is starting to turn, so Walmart getting a
- 9:25Speaker 1: little boost there. Let's take a look now the Volatility

- 10:32Speaker 1: Disappointing earnings reports then took down the stock and fell
- 10:36Speaker 1: all the way to nine dollars and forty four cents
- 10:38Speaker 1: in January. Now, we reported in February that Barracuda was
- 10:43Speaker 1: working with Morgan Stanley to seek potential buyers. According to
- 10:46Speaker 1: people familiar with the matter. While the stock is rebounded
- 10:49Speaker 1: as the process has unfolded, the recovery was set back today.
- 10:53Speaker 1: That's because Barracouter received its very first celerating since going public.
- 10:59Speaker 1: The call came from jam P Securities, which cut its
- 11:02Speaker 1: recommendation equivalent itself from hold. Analyst Eric Superger wrote in
- 11:05Speaker 1: a report that the shares maybe too costly for the
- 11:08Speaker 1: company to attract the buyer. He added that sales have

- 11:15Speaker 1: others have quit. You put that all together, you got
