- 1:07Speaker 1: Right here on taking stock could take a look at
- 1:09Speaker 1: the expectations. Um, you know, six months down the road,
- 1:13Speaker 1: there was an increase in NOSE saying that they expect
- 1:15Speaker 1: fewer jobs to be available. And I think this really
- 1:18Speaker 1: translates into what we're sort of seeing a little bit
- 1:20Speaker 1: in the labor market is that job growth may be slowing.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I think the expectations are for about a hundred and
- 1:26Speaker 1: sixty thousand jobs, perhaps less because the Verizon strike at
- 1:30Speaker 1: the end of this week, but clearly a little bit
- 1:33Speaker 1: slower than the two hundred plus that we had averaged
- 1:37Speaker 1: earlier months. And spending UH climbed in April by the
- 1:41Speaker 1: most in almost seven years. The signed US households are
- 1:45Speaker 1: ready to help jumps jump start growth after a first
- 1:47Speaker 1: quarter slowdown. The one percent increase was the most since
- 1:51Speaker 1: August of two thousand nine. SMP five hundred index down
- 1:55Speaker 1: two points to two thousand ninety seven, to decline there
- 1:58Speaker 1: of point one percent down, Industrials down eighty seven points
- 2:02Speaker 1: to drop of five tenths of one percent, Stack up fourteen,
- 2:06Speaker 1: a gain of three tenths of one percent, Gold up
- 2:09Speaker 1: a dollar twenty ounce to twelve fifteen, a gain there
- 2:12Speaker 1: of point one percent four oh two on Wall Street. Now,
- 2:15Speaker 1: let's take a look at other news from around the
- 2:17Speaker 1: world on Bloomberg Radio. Thank you Charlie from the Bloomberg
- 2:21Speaker 1: News Room. I'm Ramie. In essentio. Donald Trump is breaking
- 2:24Speaker 1: down how much money he raised for veterans charities in
- 2:27Speaker 1: recent months. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee gave details to
- 2:30Speaker 1: reporters during a news conference today. I raised close to
- 2:34Speaker 1: six million dollars. It'll probably be over that amount when
- 2:39Speaker 1: it's all said and done, but as at this moment,
- 2:41Speaker 1: it's five point six million dollars. Trump is edging closer
- 2:45Speaker 1: to Hillary Clinton. In a new national poll, Clinton leads
- 2:49Speaker 1: Trump forty seven to forty five percent, and the latest
- 2:51Speaker 1: NBC News survey Monkey weekly poll that's a two point
- 2:55Speaker 1: gain for Trump from the previous week. Clinton's rival Bernie
- 2:58Speaker 1: Sanders leads Trump by twelve points fifty two in a
- 3:02Speaker 1: hypothetical general election matchup. Scientists say municipal water in Flint, Michigan,
- 3:07Speaker 1: has gotten much better in recent months and is safe
- 3:09Speaker 1: for handwashing, showering, and bathing, but a filter should still
- 3:13Speaker 1: be used for drinking and food preparation. A team provided
- 3:17Speaker 1: an update today on results of sampling from homes and
- 3:19Speaker 1: buildings in the city where the water became tainted with
- 3:22Speaker 1: lead and other pollutants. And jurors have found former suburban
- 3:26Speaker 1: Chicago police officer Drew Peterson guilty of trying to hire
- 3:29Speaker 1: someone to kill the prosecutor who helped convict him in
- 3:32Speaker 1: his third wife's death. Peterson had been accused of trying
- 3:36Speaker 1: to hire a fellow inmates uncle to commit that alleged murder.
- 3:39Speaker 1: The former officer is already serving a thirty eight year
- 3:42Speaker 1: sentence for that crime. He's now facing another sixty more
- 3:45Speaker 1: years in prison and a role reversal for suffolg d A.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Daniel Conley. He's a witness in court defending himself in
- 3:53Speaker 1: a lawsuit by a former prosecutor. Global News twenty four
- 3:56Speaker 1: hours a day, powered by our journalists in more than
- 3:59Speaker 1: one news bureaus around the world. From the Bloomberg Newsroom,
- 4:02Speaker 1: I'm Rainy. Innocents you, Charlie, and we thank you so.
- 4:07Speaker 1: The monthly gain for stocks SMP five hundred, indecks falling
- 4:11Speaker 1: two points today to end the month at two thousand,
- 4:15Speaker 1: ninety six down point. I'm Charlie Pellett. That's a Bloomberg
- 4:19Speaker 1: business flash. Move around most and create promotion. I move,
- 4:26Speaker 1: you move like they do. I've never seen anyone move that.
- 4:29Speaker 1: The five peoplet's move like you've got a purpose. That
- 4:40Speaker 1: was called movers cross A little more about that name
- 4:42Speaker 1: cracked me up. Bloomberg taking stock Movers and Shakers with
- 4:53Speaker 1: Pimp Box and Kathleen As on Bloomberg Radio. Movers and
- 4:57Speaker 1: Shakers for Tuesday, May thirty one, went a sixteen taking
- 5:01Speaker 1: a look at the constituents of the SMP five hundred,
- 5:06Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty advance, two hundred and fifty one decline,
- 5:10Speaker 1: and four remain unchanged. Dave Wilson, Bloomberg Stocks Commas joins
- 5:15Speaker 1: us now to begin our movers and Shakers, and Dave
- 5:17Speaker 1: just a footnote when we say SMP five hundred, and
- 5:20Speaker 1: why are they're more constituented is because there are multiple
- 5:24Speaker 1: classes of stock for companies such as Alphabet, the parent
- 5:26Speaker 1: of Google correct And as it turns out, there are
- 5:31Speaker 1: SMP five hundred earnings reports this week, three of them
- 5:34Speaker 1: to be exact, but none of them from companies that
- 5:37Speaker 1: actually have their legal homes here in the US. So
- 5:40Speaker 1: I just wanted to clarify that point and then point
- 5:43Speaker 1: out that today's report came from Metronic, medical device maker
- 5:48Speaker 1: with their legal home in Ireland. UH. Profit margins at
- 5:52Speaker 1: Metronic for the fiscal fourth quarter were lower than analysts
- 5:55Speaker 1: expected based on the Bloomberg survey. Metronics outlook for this
- 6:00Speaker 1: a school year showed profit may do no better than
- 6:02Speaker 1: match the average estimate. So you had Metronics shares for
- 6:06Speaker 1: one and a half percent in today's trading. And I'll
- 6:08Speaker 1: point out Michael Course Holdings, the luxury goods maker as
- 6:12Speaker 1: results due out tomorrow. And then the chip maker broad Calm,
- 6:16Speaker 1: which was a Vago Technologies before some deal making. UH,
- 6:20Speaker 1: their results are due on Thursday. Well, let's take a
- 6:23Speaker 1: look at a utility company merger. There is a boom
- 6:28Speaker 1: in these kinds of deals. More than fifty two billion
- 6:31Speaker 1: dollars worth of utility bill deals pending or completed across
- 6:34Speaker 1: the United States last year. That's the most since And
- 6:37Speaker 1: this is our data compiled right here at Bloomberg. Great
- 6:42Speaker 1: Planes Energy is agreeing to buy west Star Energy, it's
- 6:44Speaker 1: the biggest utility in Kansas, for eight points six billion dollars.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Great Planes will pay fifty one dollars per share in
- 6:52Speaker 1: cash nine dollars per share in stock. UH. The CEO
- 6:55Speaker 1: saying the combination of our two company is the best
- 6:57Speaker 1: fit for meeting our region's energy needs. Investors taking a
- 7:01Speaker 1: look at this and buying Western Energy shares. The stock
- 7:04Speaker 1: closing up six point four percent today at fifty six
- 7:07Speaker 1: dollars in change, while Great Plane stock prices down nearly
- 7:11Speaker 1: five point nine percent at twenty nine dollars in eighteen cents.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Shares a Bowing today down about two point three percent.
- 7:18Speaker 1: This comes after an investment report from Howard Rubell of
- 7:21Speaker 1: Jeffreys speaking about persistent delays in the k C of
- 7:25Speaker 1: forty six contract. This is the production of the new
- 7:29Speaker 1: aerial refueling tanker. Howard Rubell calls it unsatisfactory in spite
- 7:33Speaker 1: of the program's long term potential, and he and Boeing
- 7:37Speaker 1: had said earlier that the Air Force had moved the
- 7:39Speaker 1: k C forty six production decision to August from this
- 7:44Speaker 1: June and will implement a solution for that refueling boom
- 7:49Speaker 1: that has been identified in flight testing is needing even
- 7:52Speaker 1: more work contract awards previously expected in the spring Morth
- 7:55Speaker 1: post bowments he describes as being a drag on Bowing
- 7:58Speaker 1: cash flow. Shares down two point for Boeing tell you.
- 8:02Speaker 1: It was a busy day on the deal front. West
- 8:04Speaker 1: Star and Great Plains just the biggest at eight point
- 8:08Speaker 1: seven billion dollars. But there are a couple of deals
- 8:11Speaker 1: that kind of went off the rails a bit. Uh,
- 8:14Speaker 1: one of them. I want to focus on Fidelity and Guarantee. Now,
- 8:17Speaker 1: this isn't Ensure that it agreed to take over by
- 8:21Speaker 1: China's and Bang Insurance Group. And if that name sounds familiar,
- 8:24Speaker 1: it is because they have, among other things, about the
- 8:26Speaker 1: Waldorf historia here in New York. Well, as it turns out,
- 8:31Speaker 1: and Bank withdrew a request with New York state regulators
- 8:35Speaker 1: to go ahead and buy Fidelity and Guarantee. The regulators
- 8:40Speaker 1: question and Bank's ownership structure and reserve funding for the
- 8:43Speaker 1: deal that at one point six billion dollars. Now, this
- 8:46Speaker 1: has already received approval from US regulators, specifically the Committee
- 8:52Speaker 1: on Foreign Investment in the US, which has to rule
- 8:54Speaker 1: whenever you can get a company from China or a
- 8:57Speaker 1: whole lot of other places, Uh, making an offer like this,
- 9:01Speaker 1: and Banks says it plans to really refile in the
- 9:03Speaker 1: near future. Nonetheless, the shares of Fidelity and Guarantee falling
- 9:07Speaker 1: three point three in today's quick look at Office Depot.
- 9:10Speaker 1: You know that deal that Mergery wanted to make with
- 9:13Speaker 1: Staples fell through less than a month ago and its
- 9:15Speaker 1: stock has uh fallen forty percent over the past a month.
- 9:20Speaker 1: But today they got their stock price moving higher today
- 9:23Speaker 1: announcing a one hundred million dollar stock buyback plan. We
- 9:27Speaker 1: now see shares of Office Depot closing up one point
- 9:31Speaker 1: four percent. It's time now for the Volatility Index report,
- 9:36Speaker 1: and it's brought to you by cbo E VIS Options
- 9:38Speaker 1: and Futures. Volatility can be harnessed with CBOA Vicks Options
- 9:41Speaker 1: and Futures c disclosures. Learn more at CBUE dot com.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Slash Powerful outcomes VIX Well. The VIX up more than
- 9:48Speaker 1: ten percent today, closing at fourteen point three three. That's
- 9:52Speaker 1: up one point two points. That was probably its biggest
- 9:56Speaker 1: jump since early April. However, even with Vis remains on
- 10:01Speaker 1: pace for a May decline. This is the last day
- 10:04Speaker 1: of the month after rising last month. All right, Dave,
- 10:08Speaker 1: you're hi, My name is Dave. Just what do you
- 10:14Speaker 1: think you're doing? We're going for the price on Dave
- 10:19Speaker 1: Dave Hey, Mr Wilson Bloomberg Stocks commas tell us about
- 10:25Speaker 1: an industrial services provider that may be benefiting from the
- 10:29Speaker 1: index effect. I did look it up. Go ahead, all right,
- 10:32Speaker 1: we're talking about Team Incorporated. Sounds like it should be
- 10:35Speaker 1: in the sports equipment business. Nonetheless, the company inspects and
- 10:39Speaker 1: maintains refineries, petrochemical and power plants, pipelines and other industrial facilities.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Now you might think a company named Team would have
- 10:49Speaker 1: that as its ticker symbol as well. No, it doesn't
- 10:52Speaker 1: work like that. Another company has that ticker. So Teams
- 10:55Speaker 1: is t I s I. Team has been publicly trains
- 10:59Speaker 1: this nineteen eighty nine. As of today's close, it's going
- 11:02Speaker 1: into SNPs US indexes for the first time. Team is
- 11:05Speaker 1: joining the SMP small cap six hundred to replace beauty
- 11:09Speaker 1: products maker Hello of Troy, which is moving up to
- 11:11Speaker 1: the SMP MidCap four hundred. Now. SMPS indexes are tracked
- 11:15Speaker 1: by number of mutual funds and exchange traded funds. So
- 11:18Speaker 1: when the stocks which his Teams added, the funds and
- 11:20Speaker 1: ets have to buy shares. Now we talk about the
- 11:24Speaker 1: index effect as a rule with the SMP five hundred,
- 11:27Speaker 1: it also operates for the small cap six hundred. You
- 11:30Speaker 1: can see that in a performance of Team Incorporated shares
- 11:34Speaker 1: today they climb sixtent It was the biggest one day
- 11:38Speaker 1: game since October eleven, and four point nine million shares
- 11:42Speaker 1: changed hands. That's thirty three times the average for this
- 11:45Speaker 1: stock over the past twelve months. That's quite a move.
- 11:49Speaker 1: That's why they're called movers and shakers. Dave Wilson, thank
