Seeing doolittle, we are lots of records yet again. Abigail we have green for the u. S. Major averages. We have more record highs to talk about. Nasdaq, s p 500, the all three averages are on pace to finish at record closes. Up six daysis now in a row. If it closes that way, it will be the longest daily winning streak since before brexit. A bit of a risk on trading today. As we look at currencies, there is confirmation of this risk on trading for the markets. We have the bloomberg dollar index up nicely. On pace for its birthday since the end of november. Best day since the end of november. The yen is on pace for its worst day since the end of november, trading at the lowest level since february. Taking a look at the commodity complex, oil is higher. On the week it is slightly lower. This follows last weeks massive gain, up more than 12 on that opec supply deal. We are wondering if we will see more declines after that initial pop. If we look at the bloomberg, and we look at this chart. This suggests gains are ahead for oil. This is the longterm chart for oil. In the blue boxes are the previous opec supply cut deals of one Million Barrels or more. We see out of those, some volatility and absolutely huge gains. This may suggest more strength ahead for the oil energy complex. Mark great chart. Love that chart. A big week ahead for opec. There is the stoxx 600. Rising for the fifth day, long a strong its october. Since october. We are on track for the best weekly gain since february. It is up 4. 4 . So many statistics to blow you away with. Stocks. Lk about italian it has been a week of italy after the referendum. They are on track for the best league in five years. Are they . It is touch and go. Will be four years or five years .

We are down in italy by 15 . Down 64 since the record in 2000. Those days, the height of the. Com boom. The dotcom boom. Monte paschi, the biggest decline since november 28, after the ecb rejected their request for more time to complete a 5 billion euro capital increase. You can see shares have been altered a few times this afternoon. Shares are down 10. 5 . This increases the likelihood of the state bailout that would impose losses on shareholders and bondholders. Not the news that monte paschi wanted to hear today. In light of the news from mario draghi yesterday, i thought we would look at the spread between the two year and 30 year yield in germany. Look at the difference. It is at the widest since november 2015. Mario draghi student steep and the yield curve yesterday. They see the potential for continued accommodation due to the weak inflation outlook. So much happening. Back to you. Julie we will talk more about monte paschi in a few moments. Lets take a look at bloomberg word news. The president of south korea has been impeached. Lawmakers voted to remove her after and influence peddling scandal. Her powers have been suspended. The Prime Minister will step in as acting president until the countrys Supreme Court decides whether to formally and her presidency. Italys Prime Minister matteo renzi is keeping the country waiting area he has not told the countrys president whether he will stay on despite his defeat in a constitutional referendum. Renzits to know if matteo will agree to be reappointed. Defense secretary Ashton Carter says the u. S. Will stick by afghanistan for years to come. He spoke at a joint appearance with the countrys resident during his final visit to afghanistan as head of the pentagon. We not only continue supporting our afghan partners, but continue our Counterterrorism Mission well into the future to ensure no terrorist group can seek safe havens, such that it can threaten the stability of afghanistan, the u.

Global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. This is bloomberg. Mark two italy. Shares of monte paschi hitting hammer today. Getting hammered today. They were down 9 . They were down 16. 5 earlier. The ecb has said they have rejected the banks request for more time for a 5 billion euro capital increase. Lets bring in our european economy editor. What is the reason for this rejection . The ecb has not really spelled that out. The word came this afternoon in frankfurt. That is the way things are going right now. There is drama going on after that word came out. The chairman of monte paschi and the ceo met with government officials in rome. There is some plan that is being hammered out now. I would like to put this story in context. Why is monte paschi so important , not just to the italian banking sector, but to europe as a whole . If it were to get into more dire trouble, what kind of consequences would that have . It is the oldest bank still in operation. It has continuously been one of the weak links in the european Banking System. That is symbolic of the whole system. As Everybody Knows now, the italian Banking System is way down, about 360 billion euros worth of troubled loans. Fixing monte paschi would be important or the entire system. Mark thank you for joining us. Reporting on that big story that is coming out today on monte paschi and ecb rejecting their Capital Raising extension plan. Lets get a take on italy as the banking drama continues to unfold. We are joined by didier duret. Inhas more than 200 billion assets under management. We have seen a real rebound in european banking shares. Low inlmost five year july. This is the sort of news that the european Banking Industry does not want to hear. Mr. Duret i think the rebound in europe in general is simply because there is an and to underperformance. There might be some form of expectation Going Forward because the results we expected Companies Even greater than u. S. Companies were certain of them. We are moving away from the negative Interest Rate environment. This is something that is positive for the sector. When we look at the risk premium, there is huge risk premium connected to the Political Risk that is expected for 2017. If 2016 was the year of populism, we have seen that in big letters, next year might be probably different. Revered. H are being merkelposition of angela in germany. It may be the early sign that the center has been revered. That could be a good sign for the Political Risk. Shocks . Are expecting mr. Duret if they do not come, that will be positive. Julie when you are seeing political shocks, you have an interesting legal observation. You say 2013 will be the year of the political center, this centrist snapback. Does that mean there will be fewer opportunities for political shocks . Mr. Duret i think there will be a lot of drama connected with the elections. Ms. Le pen. Ere is the population is very mobilized by what happened in 2016. In mindhave to keep that the center has been trying for Something Like 30 years. In many downsides, there is a limit. Julie if there is a limit to the downside, does that translate into general bullishness in stocks in europe . That the new know administration and the u. S. Will be extremely generous in terms of fiscal policy. Nothing that has come out of europe so far. Next year, the things to watch are the physical fiscal initiatives that europe takes. We can no longer rely on her monetary support. Mark lets get to numbers. Records in the u. S. , europes highest level since january, you say primed for a significant overweight in equities. Given that this rally in the u. S. Is based on hope and the rally in europe could be based on hope in earnings, what upside the you see . Mr. Duret at the end of the year, we are always there. Go2000 something, we can with earnings of between 2 and 5 . If we go with a modest interpretation. We may think it is totally fake, but it is not. We are also seeing a strong cyclical uplift. We see that in manufacturing, and also in the confidence in the u. S. , which numbers that were published this afternoon on Consumer Confidence shows. There is an opportunity to regain growth. We are saying goodbye to deflation. We had a great meeting on the transition. We are putting this country back on track. Thanks, guys. Julie unfortunately we only caught the tail end of his comments. That was paul ryan at trump tower. Concerned are you about potential trade policies of the Trump Administration and whether that could crimp profits . Mr. Duret when we talk about trade, this is a longterm issue. Markets get very impatient about it. It is very far in the future. The markets are interested in the short term thing. When we look at what is the trend that is most trusting for the market, it is the globalization and digitalization of trade. It is not about growth or volume, it is about invisible goods and services. This is happening for some years. E trade investor can still companieslooking at like retail companies. Mark 2 trillion bond market. Ock they areshc calling it from the trunk victory. You have a 10 year yield projection of 2. 9 . The bonds are declining in light of mario draghi yesterday. Explain what is going on. Mr. Duret there is expectation of fiscal stimulus. That means more assurance on the long end. They will issue a lot of bonds at the far end of the curve. It will not move in a straight line. 70 tok there is possibly 100 basis points of risk on the bond market. I think it will be an opportunity to go back into normalization. It will be good for the financial companies. It will be good for the insurance companies. The pension problem will not be as keen as it was. It will be good for the companies on the pension side. I think it will have a lot of effect, not only negative effect for the equity market. Higher yield in the u. S. Will not break the rally on the equity side as long as it is not too brutal and to rapid. Mark thank you for joining us. Didier duret, chief investment officer. Julie cocacola on the rise after their ceo steps down next year and is released by the companies chief operating officer. This is bloomberg. Mark live from london and new york, i am mark barton. Julie i am julie hyman. This is bloomberg markets. Ceo of cocacola announcing plans to step down. We have shares soaring on this news. Theyre up 2 on the news that James Quincey will be replacing muhtar kent as the ceo. We did reach out to a Bloomberg Intelligence analysts, who says that this is a natural progression. James quincey has been groomed for this position. 65 ,s of cocacola are up and on the year it is a different story. Decline. Bit of the it is modest on the year. Can shea told us there are a couple of Different Reasons for this, one is right here. Revenues declining over the last couple years. It appears investors are not going to tolerate this as much. Cocacola derives 75 of its business from out of the u. S. , and it is getting clobbered by a rising dollar. Declining as sales consumers are less interested in sugary drinks. It will be interested to interesting to see what the company does in 2017 and 2018 to turn those sales around. Mark thank you. It has been a big week or new etf launches. From funds that track media moguls to those that help you play wearable technology. This is bloomberg. Mark live from london and new york, i am mark barton. Julie this is bloomberg markets. There have been 220 etf launches this year, making it harder for any single product to stand out. There were a few that turned some heads. Joining us now is Eric Balchunas, from Bloomberg Intelligence. You and i talked about the crowded field for etfs quite often. The first one we will talk about is the media mogul next shares. What makes this differentiated . Eric three things, one is a household name. We do not see many rock star managers for the most part. That is number one. Number two is it is tracking it is called the media mogul. It is singular, not plural. This is the first time where the fund is tracking stocks that are associated with one person, in this case john malone. All the stops that he has something to do with. They think there is outlook behind that. The third thing is the structure is different. It is a hybrid between etf and a mutual fund. This structure is important because it allows active managers to come into the etf space and take advantage of the tax efficiency and lower cost of it. I will not get into the weeds. It is a little different. You can buy shares during the day, but you cannot see the holding, they will show you those quarterly like a mutual fund. It charges 1 . It will be interesting to see if the name is enough to overcome the fact that it is active, which has not been doing well, and the fact that it is on the expensive side. If it outperforms, he could get some assets. The next one is something that already exist in another form. The deutsche highyield bond etf. How is this different . Hyg is the most popular. This is cheap. Deutsche bank cannot and priced a vanilla highyield bond etf at 25 basis points, cap as much as at 50. As much as hyg this shows that the fee war is spreading outside of places that vanguard is. Typically in areas where they dont have funds, people would price higher. In essence they have come in by pricing really cheap. We saw goldman launch a smartbeta etf that nine basis. The thing with highyield is that people love hyg for the liquidity. It will take long time for this to get that kind of liquidity. This could be appealing for the cheap cost. Julie Eric Balchunas of Bloomberg Intelligence, makes as always. Mark still ahead, trading in the Third Largest u. S. Ipo of the year. Shares rising out of the gate. We will speak to the chief executive. A. 7 . This is bloomberg.

Julie you are watching bloomberg. Im julie hyman. And i will mark barton. This is your Global Business report. Expelrliament votes to the president , toppled under a it was peddling under an influence peddling scandal. Julie and the terms of the u. K. Brexit plans starting to leak out. Mark is there any benefit, nearly two years since the european qe bond buying began . The president of south korea has been impeached and the company is the country is bracing for the aftershock. Here is the reaction after that vote. This Afternoon Parliament passed the president ial impeachment motion. I deeply apologize to our citizens for causing such a big National Confusion amid National Security and economic concerns due to my carelessness. The Prime Minister now steps then as the acting president until because visual court deliberates on whether to formally enter presidency or reinstate her. The ecb has rejected a plea by italys Monte Dei Paschi Bank to raise more capital. Paschi lost more than a billion dollars in the first quarter. Manufacturing increased 3. 3 in november, which exceeded all estimates in a bloomberg survey. Meanwhile, chinas Consumer Price index rose 2. 3 . Brexit secretary gary davis says he does not want the transition deal with the eu to cushion the impact of britain leaving the bloc. That is according to a meeting with business leaders. Despite attempts to underplay the report, it threatens to undermine theresa mays desire to keep plan secret until formal negotiations begin next year. Julie it is time for our bloomberg quick take, in which background on issues of interest. Qualitative easing or qe has worked in the u. S. And other countries that of used it, including japan and the u. K. , but will it work in europe as well question mark it has been difficult for the 19nation euro area to do the same thing, but after the central bank tried other measures, if pressed at with fullblown qe. Begun by mario draghi, they began buying bonds in 2013, 6 years after u. S. Embarked on qe. Ledo draghi overcame german opposition on the governing council and initially embarked on the asset Purchase Plan worth about 1. 1 trillion euros. It now includes corporate debt to rid the latest adjustment takes the total buying plan to 2. 8 trillion euros. Cut the Interest Rate below zero in 2013, the first Major Institution of its kind to try such a move. Here is the background. The treaty that founded the eu prohibits the ecb from financing governments and buying up governmentbacked bonds has tested idea. The german bund is bank has been particularly outspoken against this. Bundesbank. The argument. Fed style qe in europe has overcome practical and political challenges. Companies get most of their funding from bank lows rather than selling bonds, which is more common in the u. S. That makes the Financial Market smaller and less liquid. There is a debate about the effectiveness of qa and a concern that it yields asset bubbles is money flows into stocks and assets, instead of benefiting companies and households per you can read more about qe and all of our quick takes on the bloomberg, and that is your Bloomberg Business report. Head to bloomberg. Com for more stories. Mark shares and express it express scripts getting pounded a. Andrew left tweeted that the prescription Management Company behindculprit pharmaceutical price gouging. It is a charge that express scripps denies. Joining us, andrew left him about her and executive director of central research. Andrew, thank you for joining us. We are really happy you have joined us. I just want to tell you what jpmorgan has said today. They say it is an overreaction. Nothing new has come from your allegations. They say, we do not believe that they are the cause of high drug costs. On a scale with most drug rebates going back to health plans and employees. What you say to jpmorgan . Havew i dont think i ever written a story where an analyst actually said, you know what, he is right. Its like the valeant story when it was 100 70, and they go, oh, my god, hes right. I would expect that. If you look at the notes, the one i would Pay Attention to the most is the one from bank of america that says pbms, that is do, they negotiate drug prices. Left does not understand pbms. But we need to look more closely into by resource. Express still part of scripts that not one of the analyst is properly addressed. Do not forget the its not just me. When you look at the state ,ttorney general in new york messages is looking into the relationship between express scripts and the pharmaceutical companies right there. So, i will give you an example. You look at Something Like akbar , thats 34 a vile and how does this get reimbursed . If you go to the website, you will see the reimbursement is done through united by resource. They are representing in this case the pharmaceutical companies in keeping these prices high. It is only 1 or 2 of unit volume, and it is that spread and also those rebates and the Profit Center of united at bio that we are questioning has never broken out the difference between the pbm model and the other model representing pharmaceutical companies. Mark andrew, how much does express scripts make off of rebates on highpriced drugs and how much do they keep from the keep for themselves . Andrew its amazing. Why would i have to answer that question . Shouldnt that be in their whole idea,s the exactly. They should put how much they put demo rebates, what would happen if the rebates get cut, and that is something for a short seller or anyone. Show how muchso is coming from united bio source. Julie the stock has come down, a big drop in january when Health Insurer anthem made doublet its dispute over pricing with express scripts made public its dispute over pricing with express scripts. Could make the argument that are investors that investors are well aware of this dispute within the industry question mark andrew you can say that if you want to, of course. Theirice is trading reason, but theres a lot more to go. Through my experience in the stock market and short selling for over 20 years, if a company does not disclose something, there is a reason why they do not disclose it. The fact that this division of the country is gone unnoticed and is not the pbm part. I understand the nature. Its completely different thing with anthem and with ross. Thats a whole other topic they can be discussed. The rolent to know, in of specialty pharma and getting these drugs reimbursed from the client, from the insurance companies, what is your relationship with the pharmaceutical companies and doing it . Its amazing. They are representing both sides of the business, but there is one side that no one discusses, and not one analyst is actually broken down and said, oh, this is exactly how it is done. Instead, they have left me playing guessing games on rebates. Julie what led you to this conclusion then . You insearch point misdirection, if, as you say, the company does not give the information out . Time we saw in the Magazine Article with donald trump this week, he mentioned bringing the prices down across the board. It has been interesting the past year watching these names and the individual tallies being taken out of the boom. Theout actually looking at whole system. What is interesting about trumps statement is he understands the systemic problem. For someone like me studying the industry, if you really want to take care of a systemic problem, how do we start . What is a good start . Two words. Express scripts. They are the gatekeeper to highpriced pharmaceuticals in this company. Indeedbut if it is systemic, why single out express scripts . There are other pbms, right . Andrew yes, there are. Ofie wouldnt it be reform the whole system question mark andrew the ones in my opinion that are most opaque are express scripts because of the relationship with united bio source. I have seen it. Just go to google and put in united bio source and you will see it here is the drug that was not supposed to be reimbursed like in the insurance companies, had very hard restrictions and you will see whot there on the website gets it reimbursed. It is both sides. They are not representing the insurance companies. They are representing the pharmaceutical companies. Andrew, really quickly, what other loyal hanging fruit is there and how low to the shares go . Andrew if the shares all of a sudden bernstein did really good work on this, the analysts. If you take the rebate and you cut the rebates just in half, the stock could go down tweet five dollars, 30 from here. 25, 35 from here. Who knows . We have to make drug pricing more clear. Theres a machine, i will be publishing it. People will understand how drug pricing is done. If you look at the amount of money they make, it is obscene compared to everyone else, and not just Gross Margins. How much they convert to actual cash flow shows the money being made on rebates and Everything Else that actual operations. You do not produce this type of cash flow with those types of Gross Margins off normalized distribution business. This does not look like a distribution business and its not. This is a company that makes money off big rebates and big reimbursements from pharmaceutical companies. And before you defend it, any of the analysts or the Companies Come out and give actual numbers. Andrew, thank you for joining us. Andrew left, founder and executive officer of citron research. This out of italy the decree law finalized for the monte dei paschi rescue. The bondholders will be affected by the decree.

There is also a report that he will pick Cathy Mcmorris rodgers choice foron as his interior secretary. And he kicked off the day Meeting HouseSpeaker Paul Ryan for joining us now, blue barks our Bloomberg Politics reporter. That healso the news could appoint ambassador to japan. Of these appointments, which one stands out to you . They all stand out in various ways. Goldman sachs, gary cohen, one more Goldman Sachs employee invest executive to be on the truck Transition Team, now his cabinet. If that is true, that raises a lot of questions. People are wondering where the swap draining rhetoric went for donald trump. He talked about reining in wall street, talked about how Hillary Clinton was in that was wall street during the campaign. Now yet another member of his team coming from Goldman Sachs. Trump dismisses those concerns. He says he is appointing people who know how to make money, people who can get the job done, people who know how the system works. Hes going to brush those concerns aside. The appointment to interior is an important one. Cathy Mcmorris Rodgers is the only senior female member of the Republican Leadership in the house. And her appointment to that position, it she is up getting confirmed would open up a spot in Republican Leadership, possibly to be filled by another female covers moment. If thats true, we are going to start to see a lot of people like me love and other congresswomen in the running for that job. Those are two things that stand out to me. Be Bloomberg News story today talking about the project up at the Energy Department based on a memo from the trump team. Part of this has to do with this questionnaire, apparently, that folks at the Energy Department, staffers are now receiving. This intel and how unusual is it during a transition for this kind of thing to happen . Reporter its not that unusual for for a while the truck Transition Team was put aside for not having discussions, conversations about the transition the truck Transition Team was put aside not having discussions, conversations about the transition. He needs to learn how things work. The concert a lot of people are having is that a lot of the questions on this questionnaire are talking about or seem to suggest that there are revamps in the Energy Department in store, things like questions do we keep aging Nuclear Facilities online . Ones that might have retired. What do we do to keep those running . Another question is that suggest they are taking a hard look at the Energy Department, and this comes after the appointment of head ofchoice for the the epa, scott pruitt of oklahoma, who has been an opponent of barack obama for Climate Change policies for some time. Of people arelot watching, what is going to do with energy, what is trump going to do with Climate Change and Renewable Energy and things like that .
