I am ramy inocencio. This is bloomberg. Vonnie lets get back to markets. A mixed day for stocks. Investors are waiting to see how tomorrows jobs report stacks up with disappointing numbers. Our next guest says they might a market for optimism, strategist at cecil. Break it down for us. The consensus is 180, and we have been hearing anywhere from 160 to 200. Kevin 150,000 to 200,000 would be reasonable given what we have seen in the data. But more broadly we look at a pickup in a variety of data points. Not so much the jobs numbers, but if you look at the data, we saw some firming from the really weak Fourth Quarter and first quarter. We are far from a robust economy. We think maybe 150,000 jobs would be what we expect. Julie and is that enough to get stocks the leg up . In it has been remarkable, terms of the trajectory of stocks this year, in terms of the health of the economy for the balance of the year. So where do you stand on, say, stocks, and where we will see them go in the second half . Kevin the stock market is fairly valued. Thats one of the challenges we have right now. Earnings, we will probably see weak earnings numbers this quarter, and i think it will be four or five quarters in a row we have seen declining earnings, which is driving stock prices. Beyond that, the economy is growing, which is the good news, and here in the United States it is better than many places around the world and has been a bit of a safe haven, which is all helping equities. Beyond that, we are missing stronger growth, in the domestic economy. Vonnie what makes you say equities are fairly valued . You late that out as unquestionable laid that out as unquestionable. Some people would disagree with you. Kevin if you go and look at were equities are by market cap, its at a premium to gdp. Thats one way to look at it. And you would expect that to be overvalued. The thing that makes it so unusual,w e have we have so much of these alternative assets, bonds, for example, with negative yields, and the world of valuations has become skewed because the bond yields are really the central price for all assets, and when you have such unusual things happening, like negative yields in the bond market, it is hard to put a fine point on what fair value is. Julie is there any number tomorrow that would dramatically change your outlook . Yes, its just one report, but so was the last one, and it seemed to change the feds view. Is there anything outlying that would shake you up . That 100,000 to 150,000, divergence would be something that is statistically significant. We get very excited about the big number every month, but the reality is, it does get revised. Unless we see something, say, 100,000, 150,000 off the mark, you should move right by it and just blended into the average. But lets say you had a zero job growth. That would obviously be something that would have us pause. Vonnie did the month of june you saw the s p 500 returned 1. 3 , and treasuries returned 2. 2 . Where would you go, if you are looking for something this summer . Kevin we are still underweight on equities in our Asset Allocation models. On the bonsai, we like our yields bond side, we like high yields. We are getting incremental return by owning high yields. On the equity side, we tend to favor growth overvalue. Within the entire complex, we like dollarbased assets, because we think the real rates here are rising, the growth here is better, and that is helping relative to the world. Nds. Assets, high yield, a growth overvalue is where we would position a portfolio. There has been some talk earlier this year about a bubble in highyield, that valuations would become stressed, that if there is economic weakness they would be risk of defaults. Is that still in effect here, or has that dissipated, as they look more attractive relative to other assets . Kevin were back to almost the same problem we had with equities, because you have treasury yields that are very, very low, so the spreads versus treasuries are attractive. When we think about where the bubbles are, we are a bit more concerned about the treasury price than the highyield. And if you look at just the price returns for treasuries, there are a bunch of services that offer that, and you are at levels you have never seen before. So that is a bit more of a concern. Make things more difficult. Vonnie how closely were you watchingtifel yesterday when the funds in britain stopped people from taking out money . Is that something you are worried about . Kevin sure. One of the things we include in our surveillance of data is stress in the financial system, which manifests itself in all kinds of ways. When you have uncertainty like the brexit, you expect things to pop up that would be a little out of the ordinary. So liquidity issues which show up. That would be a form of a liquidity issue. So it does come into the research we do, and some of the analysis. Vonnie but not overly concerned . Kevin it is just one. It manifests itself in a broader array of those things, it would be something that would impact our outlook more significantly. But at this point, its not terribly concerning, but we would look at that and see the spreads and other things, and if it got much worse, we would change your outlook our outlook. Vonnie kevin, thank you so much. Still ahead, our coverage at of sun valley continues. Liberty media chairman john malone tells Bloomberg Viacom stock is undervalued. Fighto weighed in on the over the companys future. Julie this is bloomberg markets. I am julie hyman. Vonnie i am vonnie quinn. Time for the Bloomberg Business flash, a look at the biggest stories in the news right now. American airlines will be the first u. S. Carrier to offer a premium economy cabin with more legroom. Delta plans for a similar product. U. S. Carriers are trying to catch up to foreigners, who already offer enhanced service.

According to people familiar with the matter, mcdonalds is selling twentyyear franchise rights in china and hong kong. Most Mcdonalds Restaurants in china are companyowned, and the chain eventually wants almost all restaurants there to be under local ownership. That is your Bloomberg Business flash update. Julie media heavyweight john malone has been piling up acquisitions of late. Last week, Lions Gate Entertainment agreed to buy starz. At the sun valley conference, he gave his take on the state of media m a and the u. K. Referendum. Theres always m a opportunities. There are nine Different Companies im involved in, and they are always looking for opportunities. Still lots of free radicals out there to consolidate . There are. Not always big ones. What is your view on europe, given supposedly the cheaper assets there . Is this something you would do, or some thing you would be put off by . Cheap is a relative term, right . So, i think it depends on your longerterm view, i think. I think britain is going to be fine. I think the eu is going to be fine. I think there will be some banking capitalization issues that have to be dealt with. And potential monumental shakeups, with fire, cbs viacom, cbs, the Sumner Redstone drama. I hope it all settles down, and everyone is treated fairly. Sumner has been a longterm friend and sometimes partner, sometimes frenemy, and you hate to see distress in a family situation. So i certainly hope it all works out for everybodys benefit. You know. Would you be interested in they created some great assets over the years, and they are a very important part of our industry. Would you be interested in buying the paramount stake, for example . Would i . The theatrical side . No, that would not be where i would go, if it was my decision. They have some great assets. Right at the moment, because of the turmoil, they are substantially undervalued. Viacom . Viacom, yet. I think they will straighten out. If you were a betting man, would you expect a combination of cbs and viacom . Well, les moonves would do a terrific job, if they wanted to go that way, in my opinion. Hes an excellent operator. Sh i have no idea what, what erri has in mind as a strategic direction. I have no idea what kind of estate tax problems they would ultimately face, and what they have to do to satisfy those. So i am sure, its a complicated process. Just to clarify, earlier when you were talking about europe, talking about itv. Is the u. K. An interesting place to spend money . Would you buy at the rest of itv . I personally think the u. K. Will be increasingly interesting for foreign capital. Theuess would be that cheaper pound, combined with a more probusiness government, personally a substantial investor in ireland, and i worry the u. K. Will start competing with ireland as the most businessfriendly player. But, in all seriousness, i think the u. K. Is going to be fine. I think the reaction has been way overblown, and i think this will create Investment Opportunities in the u. K. I think theres also a fair chance that they work out their eu issues and ultimately, if they dont exit entirely, they may have some kind of a special relationship, you know . Rational people will ultimately figure this out. Julie that was john malone of liberty media, from the sun valley allen and company conference. Vonnie more from sun valley ahead. Ceoill see whether iacs agrees with barry diller that the industry has too few actual decisionmakers. Stick around. This is bloomberg. Vonnie this is bloomberg markets. Julie time now for options inside with shery. Shery joining me for todays options insight is scott bauer, Senior Market strategist at creating advantage, joining me from the cboe in chicago. Thank you so much for talking to us. After the brexit vote, it has been all about Political Risk in europe. Now,ound plunging right falling for a Third Session after a brief rally. How are you playing this . Scott like you just said. Its really plunging right now, but is it plunging more on political rhetoric, like you talked about, or just because there really is Something Else there we need to look at . Im looking at this area here of 1. 26 in the fxb, the british pound etf, almost a no mans land, marooned on an island somewhere. You can look, there are some really good upside reward to risk option plays. Im looking to august options, and if i look out there, the option market is pricing about a six dollars to seven dollar move in fxb, which could be to the downside as well, but the reward to risk on the upside right now is fantastic, so im looking to buy some upside call spreads, perhaps even the 1. 29, 1. 33 call spread, four dollars wide going out to august expiration. I can do that for about a dollar, maybe even less than that, and my reward to risk, i can only lose a dollar, so if the british pound is not rally, if fxb does not rally, i know my maximum loss. But if we get the movie option market is expecting, and if it is to the upside, this will go to about 1. 33, and my maximum gain is four dollars. Fxby we are seeing the plunge, and we have not seen it at these levels in a very long time, i think its 2006, so are you saying we are bottoming out now . Scott what im saying here is, like i said, its kind of in a no mans land, but after the quick and violent moves we saw, both to the upside and downside, after the sharp highvolume we saw, im seeing a lot of consolidation here. And seeing a base. Maybe the trade is a little lower than here, but the technicals are telling me from what im seeing right now, in the way the trade is going, that there is a bottom, perhaps, forming right here. Nitrate is all based on the reward to risk, and it seems like the whole world is taking the short side of the pound, the short side of fxb, and thats why the reward to risk is so great to the upside. Thats what im going to do. Goldman andhery Deutsche Bank and citigroup are calling for sterling to sink another 11 . Your call on the currency . Scott im not going to discount what they are saying. My trade is not necessarily a, where is this going to be nine months from now, three months from now. This is strictly an opportunistic option play of where this could go in the next four to six weeks. So, do i say goldman and Deutsche Bank, are they wrong, that this thing could go down to 1. 10 . No. But the opportunity is there to make a very nice trade to the upside in the very short run here. Shery thanks so much for talking to us here. Rkett bauer, senior ma strategist from trading advantage at the cboe. Vonnie still ahead, we are counting to down to the close of trading in the u. S. Julie we have a mixed picture with the major averages. The nasdaq is gaining ground, along with technology more broadly today. The dow and the s p are still under pressure.

C sv worldfrom bloombergs headquarters in midtown manhattan, you are watching bloomberg markets. I am matt miller. Joe and i am joe weisenthal. Matt lets start with a check of the headlines. Ramy inocencio is there. Ramy we go to capitol hill, and james comey is facing criticism from republicans regarding his criminalnot to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton. To applycolby we try the same standard whether you are rich or poor, white or black, old or young, famous, or not known at all. I hope folks would take some time to understand the other cases.

Vermont senator Bernie Sanders is set to endorse Hillary Clinton on tuesday at a Campaign Event in new hampshire.

Global news 24 hours a day, powered by our 2400 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries around the world. I am ramy inocencio. This is bloomberg. Joe . Joe markets close in under 30 minutes. Lets go live to the nasdaq with Abigail Doolittle. Abigail it is turning out to be a down to the wire day for the nasdaqs. Will the nasdaq follow the dow and the s p 500 lower, or can it hang on to the games. We will knows. Lets look at a couple of the winners that might help the nasdaq out. We start with shares of the Biotech Company surging all day on a report earlier saying european drugmaker roche could be interested in a multibilliondollar acquisition. Sources close to the matter say a potential deal could happen share, 130 and 150 per suggesting the shares of biomar in could climb close to its record high. Turning to technology, also hire all day western digital. Yesterday, after the close, they revise their Current Quarter forecast higher, basically taking those numbers of nicely. Plus they announced they would put a new cfo in place. He will start on september 1. On this positive report out of western digital, seagate allergy is also trading higher, as is chip maker micron. Joe what links these companies that they are all three higher . Abigail good question, and there are a lot of similar is, but it seems to a type of flash memory, and relative to the revision higher, western gave few details, but it does give indication that it is related to the acquiring of sandis. This could reflect a recent pricing. Nand all of these stocks were down last year, down this year. D had been made longterm trough. Recently, around may, it started to spike higher. It could give investors hope there might be a turnaround ahead for some of these companies. Joe Abigail Doolittle at the nasdaq, thank you. Matt lets head to sun valley, idaho. Levin ofa is with joey iac. Thank you for being here. Your subscriptionbased model. Are you doing with advertising, finding more resources question mark sources . Mr. Levin no, we are not. Part of the successes we do not to interrupt of advertising and cannotrs appreciate that think that is a meaningful differentiator in our platform. If we think about everything, and we continued to think about advertising as a model, but right now we are focused on the phase. Talking about consolidation in the media landscape fewer movie studios, for instance, and they could be a good thing for folks like you and content creators. How will you harness that make it something video is able to capture . Mr. Levin there is already, will continue to be consolidation, but there is also a Huge Community of video creators, filmmakers that are on their own and that are not represented in that community, asre not as consolidation happens it might be harder for them to get onto those platforms, so i platform like vimeo is phenomenal for them to bypass the into structure and go direct to the audience. That is a we are trying to enable. David what kind of content do you see being created. You have short videos. You see folks creating series, doing more in the future . Mr. Levin absolutely. High maintenance is a great example. That started on vimeo. It was a series. They financed it themselves. We help them with financing. It developed a great audience, and it has moved on from vimeo to hbo. It is a Great Success story in terms of people starting from scratch, starting from nothing, and creating a narrative series, having that go on to continued success. Feel a lot of that happening. People under the word saturation. Does that worry you if you have this egalitarian structure, anyone can make content, there might be too much of it . Mr. Levin we think about that a lot, but there are still only 24 hours in a day, seven hours in a week, and however in many hours and however many hours is going to be use for content consumption is a finite number. It may grow, has gone. It is easy to consume content in the subway where you are not used to doing that. No matter how much content is out there, there are only so many hours and eyeballs to watch them. You have to differentiate. Back toircling advertising, talking to some attendees about trends, where you think we are headed into as of how people advertise given the models youre talking about . Mr. Levin the number one thing you never ties in right now is data because it has done so much better and so much more accurate. We can reach you in a certain publication, or we can reach you in another publication, and that other publication is the same you we are trying to reach, but might have a meaning the meaningfully lower ad rate. Ultimately, thanks ballots out things ballots out because of what i was saying there is a fine time you spent consumer consuming video. David this is not a genius observation, but it strikes me you would have a lot of data and that would make you attractive and in a better position than traditional content providers. Mr. Levin we do, and i think about some of the other properties we talked about daily beast a while ago. They benefit from standalone content and the data we get from other properties that better slice our audience to know who they are and what they are registered in, and advertisers appreciate for that because it converts for them. David you have been compartmentalizing, i was the reorganization going, and what are the goals . Mr. Levin we are very early, and our Publishing Business has been in a rough period, and we just have to do some retooling there. We are the middle of that retooling right now. A lot of that was legacy issues that we dealt with for a while. I think we have some unbelievable properties there like daily beast, dictionary. Com, about. Com, which we are now vertical lysing there are a lot of things that will be interesting. We are very early in that retooling. David iac has been a fairly inquisitive company. When you look at potential takeover targets, broadly speaking, what you look for what is a sign of a company that might be a success for you . Mr. Levin i think we meaningfully favor acquisitions where we already have a position of strength in dating, for example, we have been acquisitions and we can do that because we can be the smartest people in the room when we do and i position in dating dating. That is not because we are the highest iq or the best negotiators, but we know the business backwards and forwards, inside and out, and we know what is going on and what is lucky to go on in the is this where the bodies might be buried, things like that. We try to lean into positions of strength, going back to travel. We have a position of strength in home advisor right now. We can lean into that. That is where we will meaningfully favor capital. We keep our eyes open for new bets, and some of those workout. David a last question about the brexit vote i imagine you are watching closely. What affect does it have for someone in your line of work . Mr. Levin first of all, it sounds to me i dont know anything david some modestly modestly. Mr. Levin the beginning of a negotiation, not the end, and even in that, a lot of our businesses are local or hyperlocal. They are happening on individual zip codes or blocks. Dating, marriages, things like that can happen crosscountry, but mostly they are happening within those communities. The thing i think about is whether there is an impact on the broader economy, broader economy of great britain, things like that, how that might impact our business, but because of a thing is happening within local communities, i worry a little bit less about it. David thank you very much. Back to you. Joe david gura in sun valley idaho sun valley, idaho. Thank you. Matt coming up, all eyes on tomorrows jobs report can we look at whether the job market is headed higher. This is bloomberg. Matt this is bloomberg markets. I am matt miller. Time for the Bloomberg Business flash. With department of justice officials, trying to win antitrust approval for its takeover of umana according to people familiar with the matter. The meeting comes to weeks after a similar doj session with anthem and sigma pursuing their own merger. Anthemicials worry the sigma deal could stifle competition. Wendys says hackers were able customer debit and credit card information at more than 1000 u. S. Restaurants, far more than it originally thought. The hamburger chain says some cards were used to make fraudulent purchases at other stores. Wendys first report of the hack in january. Nadella iseo satya reorganized we organize his management team. Turner is leaving the company after more than a decade. He will become the chief executive of cedar dell citadel. Instead of naming a successor, he is appointing to executives to give you the responsibilitys. That is the Bloomberg Business flash update. Joe Payroll Processing company adp says business added 172,000 jobs in june, and it could be a good sign for the report tomorrow. Economists are pretty get a rebound from the previous disappointing months, but rigas and when june shows, the last five years have seen a steady decline in the jobs report, so does that mean the jobs market is close to fully healed . Lets ask william spriggs, the chief economist for the aflcio. 4. 7 . Oyed rate at from your perspective, does this mean the labor market is close to full employment . Mr. Spriggs no, it doesnt. We have quite a bit of slack in the labor market. The u. S. Supermarket has not been performing well when it comes to labor force participation. That is because wages have not picked up as much as we would like at this stage in the recovery. So, while we are on a record straight up straight months for job growth, we still have quite a way to go to catch up to where we were in 2007, and more importantly, to catch up where we were with where we were in 2000. Joe one of the big sources of anxiety for the labor market has obviously been wage growth. By most counts, it has been disappointed disappointing since the crisis. Is this a problem for the fed to sell, or is there other policy out there, something more for congress to do that would be more effective in getting more money into workers pockets . Do spriggs well, we really need to see a physical response. Congress took us in the wrong direction and arguing for austerity when they did sequestration. That was poorly timed. It was before the recovery had a full chance to take old, and congress has to remember they are the other partner in our National Policy of full employment. So, we make janet yellen, the chair of the Federal Reserve board of governors, come before congress to talk about what she is doing about full employment, but it is equally the responsibility for the house and Senate Budget committee to make sure they are doing everything to stimulate the economy. The report for the Economic Outlook it released in june pointed out the world was facing a problem because we need a coordinated fiscal stimulus. What we are currently doing with relying only on Monetary Policy is, sort of, stealing jobs from with ther, as we see dollar rising to very high levels. That hurts u. S. Trade policy. Matt i am glad you bring up the global picture, because i wanted to ask a few about a global issue that it looks like we are seeing, or at least some economists are pointing to a trend for populist movements around the world. Wealths to be driven by inequality, or income inequality. Do you see that as well . Do you think that is the kind of thing that is behind, for example, a brexit vote, or a donald trump candidacy . Mr. Spriggs well, it is a key element. It lets right wing extremists take advantage of it, and we see that in europe, the rise of the extreme right, as we see here in the u. S. With donald trump. Problem,s a real because this willingness to rely only on Monetary Policy and not to use the fiscal space that is available to governments is creating a level of unemployment that is unacceptable, and you are seeing the pushback from people. And it creates a high level of inequality. It disadvantages labor, because at high levels of unemployment, it is very hard to get sustainable wage gains. Matt are you concerned, though i can understand seen a brexit as a symptom of the inequality problem, or donald trump as a system symptom of that. Are you concerned about the kind of, bushclinton, bushclinton policies being continued, and driving that inequality further, further apart . Mr. Spriggs well, we certainly hope we dont see a continuation of policies that got us here. They are 30 years in the making. So, we hope we are going to see a new examination of policies. We are going to have to do some things we have not done before because if you want to correct the level of inequality, you have to pay a lot more attention to what happens to the labor share of income, and the labor share of income has been taking it on the chin for all of this century. So, were going to have to see increases in the minimum wage, increases in the ability of workers to organize, changes in the way we shape trade policy so that it is designed to really raise wages, and to promote u. S. Employment, not relocate u. S. Employment. So, these are some of the changes we are going to have to see. We think Hillary Clinton is going to deliver that. These are the kinds of changes we have to see starting to come now. Joe real quickly, what would you like to see from the fed at this point . Fed, iiggs well, the think, is doing a job of monitoring how the economy is going. It knows the headwinds we face because of the strain strong dollar and the uncertainty the brexit is causing. The lack of investment that will take place in europe is hurting u. S. Exports because we export capital goods, and those things have been down recently. The problem with chinas dumping of steel globally, aluminum globally, these are causing problems for us as well. So, we think the fed is doing a good job, but it needs its partner of fiscal policy could we need to see if the structure investment increase. Joe william spriggs, chief economist at the aflcio, thank you very much for coming on. Markets,t on bloomberg what google searches tell us about brexit fears in the u. K. This is bloomberg. Matt this is bloomberg markets. I am matt miller. We are going to chat about a couple of charts now, and i teased google. I dont know what this is. Joe Bloomberg Intelligence analysts came up with a fun chart looking at the number of google searches based out of the u. K. Looking for the word recession that really caught my eye. Here we go. We have a chart. After june 23, there was a huge search, relative to normal, in people searching for the word recession, but the good news is that has come down lately. I wouldnt want to say everything on one charge of chart of google searches. Matt i wanted to say that was guardian journalists. Joe it is down a bit, so at least by one tiny measure, some of the anxiety might have eased a bit. Just one measure. Matt i have a chart that is also british in nature, the ftse gadfly, they put this chart together and put it on the terminal this morning and what this shows is the dividend payout ratio of all ftse 100 companies, and you will notice in 2015 at climbed above 100 . This isnt dividend ratio to share price. Joe two earnings. Matt dividend ratio two earnings, exactly. This just shows you that for the First Time Since 2008, ftse 100 companies are 10 paying out more in dividends than they are taking in earnings. The risk there is a have to bring down their dividends and payouts because unless they boost earnings joe a lot of those ftse 100 companies are International Commodity companies. Matt exactly. But those are exactly the once bp, Royal Dutch Shell companies that have massive dividend ratios, you know, compared to their stocks.
