- 3:18Speaker 1: doesn't think the UK's decision to leave the European Union
- 3:22Speaker 1: will cause quote cataclysmic changes. That's the way to think
- 3:25Speaker 1: about this is a pause button has been pressed on
- 3:28Speaker 1: the project of full European integration. I would not overstate it. Um,
- 3:34Speaker 1: there's been a little bit of hysteria post Brexit vote,
- 3:37Speaker 1: as if somehow NATO's gone at the Transatlantic Alliance is dissolving,
- 3:44Speaker 1: and uh, every country is rushing off to its own quarter,
- 3:48Speaker 1: and that's not what's happening. The President had opposed the
- 3:51Speaker 1: Brexit vote. Global News twenty four hours a day, powered
- 3:55Speaker 1: by more than journalists and analysts in more than one countries.
- 4:00Speaker 1: I'm Mark Crumpton, this is Bloomberg. Catherine, thank you. When
- 4:07Speaker 1: we have an update on that story. Out of Turkey,
- 4:09Speaker 1: a Turkish official says two attackers have blown themselves up
- 4:13Speaker 1: at Istanbul's at a Turkey airport after police fired at them,
- 4:16Speaker 1: and Turkish media are quoting a justice minister as saying
- 4:18Speaker 1: that ten people were killed in that attack today and
- 4:23Speaker 1: as those benchmark settle, let's get an update. Dow Industrial
- 4:27Speaker 1: leverage up two hundred sixty nine points to seventeen thousand,
- 4:29Speaker 1: four hundred nine, smp F I funded up thirty five
- 4:32Speaker 1: points to two thousand, thirty six. Nasdack hire by ninety
- 4:35Speaker 1: seven at forty six and ninety one. And that's a
- 4:37Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business flash move most grade promotion. I feel Earth
- 4:43Speaker 1: moved on. You moved like they do. I've never seen
- 4:47Speaker 1: anyone move that fast. Tired people have moved like You've
- 4:53Speaker 1: got a purpose. That was called movements in shape because
- 5:00Speaker 1: it costs a little more. That name cracked me up.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Bloomberg taking stock movers and shakers with Pim Fox and
- 5:13Speaker 1: Kathleen As on Bloomberg Radio. Interesting, when you look at
- 5:17Speaker 1: the SMP five hundred, how many shares closed up, down,
- 5:22Speaker 1: or unchanged. It's just about flipped exactly from yesterday. Uh
- 5:27Speaker 1: today we have for a seventy two share prices closing higher,
- 5:31Speaker 1: thirty one closing lower, two closing unchanged. And of course
- 5:35Speaker 1: all those stocks closing higher were behind the SMP five
- 5:39Speaker 1: hundred closing. If you run it off nearly two today,
- 5:43Speaker 1: Da Wilson's back our stocks editor. He's kicking off movers
- 5:46Speaker 1: and shakers. What's catching your eye, Mr Wilson, Well, I
- 5:49Speaker 1: want to talk about Gilead Science. Is this is a
- 5:51Speaker 1: company that's really made its name by developing treatments for
- 5:55Speaker 1: hepatitis see their savalvy and harbony. And now there's another
- 6:01Speaker 1: one called at Clusa, just received US approval and it's
- 6:04Speaker 1: the first drug that can be used to fight all
- 6:08Speaker 1: forms of the viral disease. Now, at Clusa is going
- 6:12Speaker 1: to have a lower list price than Sabaldi and harvony.
- 6:15Speaker 1: And that's a big deal because Gillyad came under pressure
- 6:19Speaker 1: from Congress and others uh in the last year or
- 6:22Speaker 1: two because of the relatively high prices for their Hepatitis
- 6:27Speaker 1: C treatments. Will you put that all together? Gillyad Sciences
- 6:30Speaker 1: with a gain of five point two percent, biggest advance
- 6:33Speaker 1: in the stocks in October. Well, Dave, I want to
- 6:36Speaker 1: take a look at Dow Chemical. Interesting that it is
- 6:40Speaker 1: down some two point nine percent today, planning to eliminate jobs,
- 6:46Speaker 1: shut plans in North Carolina and Japan. As it continues
- 6:50Speaker 1: to slim down after taking full control of its Dow
- 6:54Speaker 1: Corning Corporation silicon venture. It's going to take a charge
- 6:58Speaker 1: of about four or ten million to four and sixty
- 6:59Speaker 1: million in the second quarter of her asset impairments, employees,
- 7:03Speaker 1: severance and more. Um. It's interesting that this is happening
- 7:08Speaker 1: at a time when it was not certainly unexpected, Dave.
- 7:12Speaker 1: There's a terriffic piece, a Bloomberg gadfly piece that you
- 7:15Speaker 1: can find on your Bloomberg or even on our Bloomberg website,
- 7:19Speaker 1: written by Brooke Sutherland, and UH, I like what I
- 7:23Speaker 1: like what she says here. This isn't a story about
- 7:25Speaker 1: how corporations like UH, Dow and even DuPont are evil
- 7:28Speaker 1: for putting profits above the welfare of employees. Although let's
- 7:32Speaker 1: face it, there's a human cost of these mega mersureds
- 7:34Speaker 1: that clinical clinical world like word like synergy canna RaSE.
- 7:37Speaker 1: But she points out, Dave, the job cuts aren't happening
- 7:40Speaker 1: in a vacuum. Times are tough for chemical corporations right now,
- 7:44Speaker 1: as global growth plods along and commodity prices flounder. And
- 7:49Speaker 1: certainly JP Morgan noted that when they cut their ratings
- 7:51Speaker 1: on Dow Chemical and DuPont today we should point out
- 7:55Speaker 1: DuPont shares fell as well. UH. In today's trading, Let's
- 8:00Speaker 1: take a look at Endo Pharmaceuticals, or in the international
- 8:03Speaker 1: to be more precise. This is a company that has
- 8:06Speaker 1: grown through takeovers over the last few years. Uh. They've
- 8:09Speaker 1: piled up more than eight billion dollars of debt in
- 8:12Speaker 1: the process. And there was a report out of Routers
- 8:15Speaker 1: UH citing people familiar with the matter saying that Endo
- 8:19Speaker 1: was looking at assets sales to reduce its debt burden
- 8:23Speaker 1: and had actually spoken to private equity firms about possible deals. Well,
- 8:27Speaker 1: that prospect went over well with investors, because Endo shares
- 8:31Speaker 1: jumped more than eighteen percent in today's trading biggest advances November. Well,
- 8:37Speaker 1: let's take a look at Marathon. I like stories that
- 8:40Speaker 1: are really simple to understand. Dave Wilson, UH, with my
- 8:43Speaker 1: next crewed up about three point six percent today at
- 8:47Speaker 1: forty seven dollars and nine cents of barrel. Marathon stock
- 8:52Speaker 1: up sharply. In fact, that the close up eight point
- 8:55Speaker 1: two per cent not just the oil price rebound, but
- 8:59Speaker 1: also potential worker uh strike in parts of Norway, and
- 9:05Speaker 1: of course of strike maybe less output. So UH the
- 9:08Speaker 1: quote in this story, oil is recovering on some bargain
- 9:10Speaker 1: hunting after the drop below forty seven dollars a barrel
- 9:13Speaker 1: proved unsustainable and on news of this possible strike in
- 9:16Speaker 1: the Norwegian oil and gas industry. Yeah, I'd also like
- 9:20Speaker 1: to point out what end though, there's more to the story. Uh,
- 9:24Speaker 1: their partformed sceutical unit got a new patent on a
- 9:28Speaker 1: treatment called vaso strict and it's it's been someone has
- 9:31Speaker 1: been sold for a while but hasn't had patent protection.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, it's all about uh, increasing blood pet pressure
- 9:39Speaker 1: in patients with sepsis other diseases. So you know, definitely
- 9:43Speaker 1: more to the end of story than just the possibility
- 9:46Speaker 1: of asset sales. What I gotta tell you, the VIX
- 9:48Speaker 1: is a more interesting story than every these days, isn't
- 9:50Speaker 1: With all the volatility of the stock market. The Volatility
- 9:53Speaker 1: Index Report brought to you by CBOE VIX Options and
- 9:55Speaker 1: Futures volatility can be harnessed with CBOE VIX Options in Futures.
- 9:59Speaker 1: So the disclosures and learn more at cbo E dot
- 10:02Speaker 1: com Slash Powerful Outcomes VIX. Look at that the VIX
- 10:06Speaker 1: down five points to eighteen point eight today, second day
- 10:11Speaker 1: of a slide. Uh. In fact, it's it's on its
- 10:15Speaker 1: it's on track for its biggest slide since September, although
- 10:19Speaker 1: depending on how this goes, it could reverse that and
- 10:23Speaker 1: end up with a monthly climb. But Dave a lot
- 10:25Speaker 1: of volatility in the VIX. All right, Dave, you're up.
- 10:30Speaker 1: H Hi, my name is Dave. Just what do you
- 10:35Speaker 1: think you're doing today? We're going for a price found
- 10:37Speaker 1: will Dave. Hey, Mr Wilson, let's take a look at
- 10:45Speaker 1: BABCX Babcock and Wilcox Enterprises. Absolutely, I should point out
- 10:51Speaker 1: that you were just mentioning the VIX. That was my
- 10:52Speaker 1: chart of the day, and if you haven't seen that, folks,
- 10:54Speaker 1: send me an email, get it to you with the
- 10:56Speaker 1: explanation that goes with it everything I do going forward.
- 10:59Speaker 1: The email addresses d Wilson at Bloomberg dot net. That's
- 11:03Speaker 1: d Wilson at Bloomberg dot net. Now. As for Babcock
- 11:06Speaker 1: and will Cox Enterprises is a company that was separated
- 11:10Speaker 1: out of Babcock and Wilcox last year to spinoff. Shares
- 11:14Speaker 1: have been in high in April. They fell Friday and
- 11:18Speaker 1: Monday as a results of all the market turmoil from
- 11:20Speaker 1: the UK's decision to leave the European Union. But while
- 11:23Speaker 1: stocks rebanded today Babcock and Wilcox's loss is worse than
- 11:27Speaker 1: The company lowered his twenty sixteen earnings forecast by about
- 11:31Speaker 1: forty six percent because of a business overhaul and costs
- 11:34Speaker 1: associated with that, along with lower coal related revenue. This
- 11:38Speaker 1: company is a power equipment makers, so that's why they
- 11:41Speaker 1: get affected. Babcock and Wilcox had its UH biggest one
- 11:46Speaker 1: day loss since the spin off. The stock tumbled twenty
- 11:49Speaker 1: one percent and traded at a new low during the day.
- 11:53Speaker 1: David Wilson getting it done as always our stock sedator.
- 11:57Speaker 1: This is taking stock on Bloomberg Radio. The bond market
- 12:07Speaker 1: rally will continue. While he had a great call on
- 12:09Speaker 1: the bondmarket in March, we're gonna be speaking to Matt
- 12:12Speaker 1: hornback from work and Stanley about why he's still bullish
- 12:15Speaker 1: on bonds. This is Bloomberg Radio.
