- 0:09Speaker 1: This is a Bloomberg Business Black from Bloomberg World Headquarters.
- 0:14Speaker 1: I'm Charlie Pellet. There. You have the sound of the
- 0:16Speaker 1: closing belt of the New York Stock Exchange as we
- 0:18Speaker 1: wrap up trading on this Wednesday, May eighteen, Folks from
- 0:21Speaker 1: Shareholders Services Association ringing that closing bell and it is
- 0:26Speaker 1: a higher close for the SMP five hundred index. Stocks
- 0:29Speaker 1: were fluctuating right up until the closing bell. There that
- 0:33Speaker 1: the SMP five hundred index, showing a gain of less
- 0:36Speaker 1: than half a point, had been swinging between gains and
- 0:39Speaker 1: losses in a volatile session. Down Jones Industrial Average down
- 0:43Speaker 1: five points, to drop there of less than point one percent,
- 0:46Speaker 1: the nan Stack Composite Index showing a gain of twenty
- 0:50Speaker 1: three points. Federal Reserve policymakers signaling a willingness to raise
- 0:54Speaker 1: borrowing costs in June if the economy continues to improve.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Lindsay pex's chief of him as that Stephial Nicholas. She
- 1:01Speaker 1: was our guest this afternoon right here on taking stock.
- 1:04Speaker 1: This time around, they're raising rates in anticipation of improvement
- 1:08Speaker 1: rather than realized improvement. So yes, we have the continued
- 1:12Speaker 1: hiring games near seventy consecutive months, but the pace of
- 1:16Speaker 1: hiring remains very modest without upward momentum in wages, business
- 1:21Speaker 1: investment remains negative, the consumer remains under pressure, so the
- 1:25Speaker 1: state of the U. S. Economy is still very fragile.
- 1:28Speaker 1: The lightest seven minutes show that Federal Reserve policy makers
- 1:31Speaker 1: indicated that a June interest rate increase was likely if
- 1:35Speaker 1: the economy continued to improve, boosting market expectations they will
- 1:39Speaker 1: act next month. The Tenure down thirty seconds, Zeal there
- 1:43Speaker 1: one eight five percent, Gold down one and a half percent,
- 1:47Speaker 1: falling eight to twelve fifty eight, Crude oil down fifty
- 1:52Speaker 1: two cents of barrel forty seven seventy nine on West
- 1:55Speaker 1: Texas Intermediate a drop there at one point one percent.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Frank Crew down one and a half percent, target, falling
- 2:02Speaker 1: the most in more than seven years. Quarterly sales missed
- 2:05Speaker 1: analyst estimates, target down seven point six percent, again recapping
- 2:09Speaker 1: a move higher for the SMP up by less than
- 2:12Speaker 1: half a point and now at four oh two on
- 2:14Speaker 1: Wall Street. Let's look at other news from around the
- 2:16Speaker 1: world on Bloomberg Radio. Charlie, thank you from the Bloomberg
- 2:21Speaker 1: news Room. I'm Mark Crompton. The White House is criticizing
- 2:24Speaker 1: a plan by House Republicans to pass six D twenty
- 2:28Speaker 1: two million dollars in emergency funding to fight ZEKEA that
- 2:31Speaker 1: numbers well below the one point nine billion dollar request
- 2:35Speaker 1: from the administration. White House Press Secretary johns earnst the
- 2:39Speaker 1: approach that Republicans vaducated for in this in the House
- 2:43Speaker 1: is wrong. It's unwise, and it is inconsistent with prioritizing
- 2:49Speaker 1: the public health and well being of the American people.
- 2:52Speaker 1: The House Oversight Committee is taking a closer look at
- 2:55Speaker 1: how the Environmental Protection Agency handles employee misconduct and as
- 3:00Speaker 1: the agency can improve its response to the issue. Committee
- 3:03Speaker 1: Chairman Jason chaffins, most of them are good, hard working,
- 3:06Speaker 1: patriotic people. They care, they work hard. But you have
- 3:10Speaker 1: some bad apples at the e p A and they're
- 3:12Speaker 1: not being dealt with. The Obama administration has issued a
- 3:15Speaker 1: new rule aimed at strengthening overtime protections. Beginning in December,
- 3:19Speaker 1: the annual salary threshold at which companies can deny overtime
- 3:24Speaker 1: pay will double to nearly forty seven thousand, five hundred dollars.
- 3:27Speaker 1: That would make more than four million additional workers eligible
- 3:31Speaker 1: for overtime. It could be another rough commute this afternoon
- 3:35Speaker 1: for Metro North customers. The railroad says riders traveling into
- 3:38Speaker 1: an out of Grand Central terminal could experience delays of
- 3:42Speaker 1: up to eighty minutes. Following yesterday's fire underneath the elevated
- 3:46Speaker 1: tracks near one hundred Street, one hundred fifty thousand riders
- 3:50Speaker 1: experienced delays and crowded trains this morning. Global News twenty
- 3:55Speaker 1: four hours a day, powered by our twenty four hundred
- 3:58Speaker 1: journalists and more than one hundred fifty whose bureaus around
- 4:01Speaker 1: the world. From the Bloomberg Newsroom. I'm Mark Crumpton, Charlie,
- 4:05Speaker 1: and we thank you. And this headline now crossing the
- 4:08Speaker 1: Bloomberg Professional Service TESLA reporting a two billion dollar public
- 4:12Speaker 1: offering to accelerate the Model three ramp up. Tesla shares
- 4:15Speaker 1: advanced today by three point two percent. Again for the
- 4:19Speaker 1: SMP five hundred index, up by lesser than half a
- 4:22Speaker 1: point down. Industrials fell three points and ASTA gained twenty three.
- 4:26Speaker 1: I'm Charlie Pelton. That's a Bloomberg Business flash move around
- 4:31Speaker 1: most and create aromotion at the elite move you move
- 4:37Speaker 1: like they do. I've never seen anyone move that back
- 4:43Speaker 1: five peoplet's move like you got a purpose. That was
- 4:50Speaker 1: called movers and shakers. It costs a little more and
- 4:53Speaker 1: that name cracked me up. Bloomberg taking stock movers and
- 5:03Speaker 1: shakers with Pim Fox and Kathleen Hay's on Bloomberg Radio.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I'm Kathleen Hayes along with Pim Fox Dave Wilson are
- 5:11Speaker 1: stock stors back, guys. This Tesla news is very interesting.
- 5:13Speaker 1: First though, let me just break down the SMP five
- 5:17Speaker 1: hundred today. UH stocks hit this afternoon by the FEDS
- 5:21Speaker 1: hawkish minutes from their last meeting as a result of
- 5:24Speaker 1: modest rally turned into kind of a mixed close. We've
- 5:27Speaker 1: got two hundred and nine shares share prices closing higher
- 5:31Speaker 1: tune or ninety five lower, just one unchanged. UH. Tesla though,
- 5:35Speaker 1: is very interesting right because Tesla had had a good
- 5:38Speaker 1: day today after it got that upgrade from Goldman to
- 5:41Speaker 1: buy Now reports this two billion dollar public offering to
- 5:46Speaker 1: accelerate the Model three ramp up, and it looks like
- 5:49Speaker 1: Tesla's stock prices getting hit by this a little bit. Well,
- 5:52Speaker 1: they are. They haven't quite given back all of today's games,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and they've given back some of them. Stock down two
- 5:57Speaker 1: point three percent at the moment and barren line. Tesla
- 6:00Speaker 1: is only selling one point four billion dollars of the shares.
- 6:04Speaker 1: The rest are being sold by Tesla's founder, Elon Musk
- 6:09Speaker 1: because he's about to exercise options on five and a
- 6:12Speaker 1: half million shares and he needs to raise money to
- 6:15Speaker 1: cover the tax obligations on that exercise. So, you know,
- 6:19Speaker 1: there are a couple of pieces to the puzzle here. Uh.
- 6:22Speaker 1: It is interesting though, the timing, you know, to have
- 6:25Speaker 1: Goldman Sacks come out and raise its rating on the
- 6:28Speaker 1: stock early in the day, and then at the end
- 6:31Speaker 1: of the day to have the share sale come along.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Uh well, at the very least, it is a rather
- 6:37Speaker 1: interesting bit of timing. Let me just tay about another
- 6:40Speaker 1: automobile company. Shares of GM today up about four tenths
- 6:44Speaker 1: of a percent. GM is said to be reducing deliveries
- 6:48Speaker 1: to rental fleets this month by about twenty thousand units.
- 6:51Speaker 1: That's the most so far this year, and this month
- 6:55Speaker 1: also has fewer selling days, so that's something to take
- 6:58Speaker 1: note of um that could also reduce delivers by another
- 7:01Speaker 1: seven to eight percent. But GM expects its retail market
- 7:04Speaker 1: share to rise in May as sales probably will continue
- 7:09Speaker 1: to decline, so maybe GM will be bucking the trend anyway,
- 7:12Speaker 1: Shares of GM up of four tenths of a percent.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I want to take a look broadly at the banks
- 7:19Speaker 1: and City Group, and particularly because the bank shares are
- 7:21Speaker 1: having a pretty good day to day anyway, people perhaps
- 7:23Speaker 1: anticipating the VF for m C would at least keep alive,
- 7:28Speaker 1: just keep the door open to an interest rate increase
- 7:30Speaker 1: in June or July over the course of the year.
- 7:33Speaker 1: When the minutes released at two o'clock Wall Street time,
- 7:36Speaker 1: minutes from the last meeting, but they got another pop
- 7:39Speaker 1: up after that was confirmed. We see the KBW Bank
- 7:42Speaker 1: index up nearly four percent. We've got Bank of America
- 7:46Speaker 1: and City both of nearly five percent, JP Morgan at
- 7:49Speaker 1: nearly four percent. I wanna just bring you some analysis
- 7:53Speaker 1: from Alison Williams from our Bloomberg Intelligence team. When you
- 7:55Speaker 1: look particularly at City Group, she says, City estimates the
- 7:59Speaker 1: coordnet interest income would increase by one point nine billion
- 8:02Speaker 1: dollars if interest rates rose broadly by one hundred basis points.
- 8:07Speaker 1: With that related to the United States, that equals four
- 8:11Speaker 1: point two percent of total net interest income and two
- 8:13Speaker 1: point six percent of revenue over the prior twelve months. Well,
- 8:17Speaker 1: we have to take a look at Cisco Systems. They're
- 8:19Speaker 1: out with fiscal third quarter results. Adjusted earnings fifty seven
- 8:23Speaker 1: cents to share, that's two cents higher than analyst average
- 8:27Speaker 1: estmate in Bloomberg survey, and adjusted gross margin to gage
- 8:30Speaker 1: a profitability sixty five point two percent. Put it another way,
- 8:34Speaker 1: after a production costs, they made sixty five point two
- 8:37Speaker 1: cents on every dollar of sales. That's two full cents
- 8:42Speaker 1: more than analysts we're looking for on average. And so
- 8:45Speaker 1: you've got Cisco shares up more than four percent in
- 8:48Speaker 1: late trading after the release of fiscal third quarter results.
- 8:52Speaker 1: And I'll just quickly to tell you about Kinder Morgan.
- 8:54Speaker 1: The shares down about three and a half percent. Not
- 8:57Speaker 1: Kinder Morgan's trans Ountain pipeline review. Pipeline review is due
- 9:03Speaker 1: today this coming from Canada. The National Energy Board plans
- 9:07Speaker 1: to issue its recommendation on a proposal to triple the
- 9:10Speaker 1: capacity of the only pipeline between Canada's oil sands and
- 9:14Speaker 1: the West Coast serving Pacific markets. Shares of Kinder Morgan
- 9:18Speaker 1: today lower by three and a half percent. Time now
- 9:22Speaker 1: with the Volatility Index report brought to you by cbo
- 9:25Speaker 1: E VIX Options and Futures. Volatility can be harnessed with
- 9:28Speaker 1: cbo VIX Options and Futures c disclosures. Learn more at
- 9:32Speaker 1: cbo e dot com Slash Powerful Outcomes VIX. The VIX
- 9:36Speaker 1: hire today up by about three percent, a gain of
- 9:39Speaker 1: point five four, settling at a sixteen point oh two
- 9:44Speaker 1: and the increase in volatility, of course, just reflecting perhaps
- 9:48Speaker 1: today's awakening on the part of investors that the rally
- 9:52Speaker 1: is not going to continue unabated. All right, Dave, you're up. Hi,
