1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Views when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Charlie Pellett. President Trump is raising potential anti trust concerns

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: for Netflix's planned acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery, noting that

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: the market share of the combined entity may pose problems.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: The presidents saying at the Kennedy Center, Netflix has a

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: very big market share, and when they have Warner Brothers,

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: that share goes up a lot. The President also voiced

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: disappointment in Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's handling of a US

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: proposal to end the war with Russia.

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: We've been speaking to Ukrainian leaders, including Zelensky, President Zelenski,

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: and I have to say that I'm a little bit

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: disappointed that President Zelensky hasn't yet read the proposal that

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: was as of a few hours ago. His people love it,

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: but he has it. Russia's fine with it.

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: President Trump spoke as he arrived at the Kennedy Center

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: for an event. Chinese and Japanese ties are coming under

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: further strain after a Chinese fighter aircraft trained fire control

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: radar on Japanese military jets for the first time. The

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: two countries are giving conflicting accounts of events, with Tokyo

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: claiming a Chinese fighter jet locked radar on its planes

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: over international waters and Beijing accusing Japanese jets of disrupting

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: its air training. Here's more from Bloomberg Steven Engel.

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: Takeiichi San, the Japanese Prime Minister, said, this is an

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: extremely unfortunate situation. We strongly protested to China and demanded

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 3: measures to prevent any reoccurrence. We will respond calmly and firmly.

26
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: But again the Chinese have a different account of that,

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: and they still are demanding an apology from Takichi San

28
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: regarding her comments last month regarding Taiwan, and also a

29
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: retraction of those comments. So far, Tokyo has.

30
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Stood for Bloomberg Steven Engel. Today marks eighty four years

31
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: since Japan launched a surprise attack on the US Navy

32
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. More than twenty three

33
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: hundred Americans died in that attack, and it catapulted the

34
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: US into World War II. Today, a remembrance ceremony was

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: held at the Intrepid Museum in New York honoring the

36
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: lives lost. Here's Intrepid Museum co chair Ken.

37
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 4: Fisher, remembering those lost on this date in nineteen forty

38
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: one and the four years a brutal flaw of fighting

39
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: that followed is our responsibility as Americans, truly a national duty.

40
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Intrepid Museum co chair Ken Fisher. IBM is said to

41
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: be in advanced negotiations to acquire data infrastructure firm Confluent

42
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: for about eleven billion dollars. This according to The Wall

43
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Street Journal sighting sources. The journal says this deal could

44
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: happen as early as Monday. If IBM does go ahead,

45
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: it could mark one of the firm's biggest acquisitions in

46
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: recent years. Stocks will begin the week close to records

47
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: with a light week ahead for earnings. Equities have been

48
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: getting a lift from rate cut bets and improving sentiment,

49
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: and Bloomberg Intelligence says the backdrop for stocks remains generally supportive.

50
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: Brett Ewing is chief market staategist at First Franklin Financial Services.

51
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 5: Look, we just went through earning season. It was probably

52
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: one of the greatest third quarter earning seasons of thirteen

53
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 5: percent year over year, eighty three percent of companies beat

54
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 5: on their earnings, seventy seven percent of the company's beat

55
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 5: on their top line and net profit margins are been

56
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: the highest they've been in over fifteen years, and I

57
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: think the acceleration actually continues, but the difference between this

58
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 5: year and twenty twenty six will be I think the

59
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 5: rally will the breadth of the market is going to

60
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 5: expand into other areas.

61
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: Brett Ewing of First Franklin Financial. Among the names reporting

62
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: this week retailers AutoZone and Costco, along with tech names Adobe, Broadcom,

63
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: CNA and Synopsis. Australia's Central Bank is poised to keep

64
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: interest rates unchanged for a Third Street meeting, with economists

65
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: anticipating the Reserve Bank will keep the cash rate at

66
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: three point six percent at its December eighth December ninth meeting.

67
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: Dianamosina is Deputy Chief Economist at AMP.

68
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 6: The reason that there's all they talk about rate hikes

69
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 6: recently is because some of the data has been a

70
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 6: little bit stronger than we've been expecting. So we've of

71
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 6: course had the uptrend in monthly inflation data now for

72
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 6: a number of months, the GDP figures have been a

73
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 6: little bit stronger the consumer, I suppose, as seeing this

74
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 6: slow turnaround, the labor market hasn't deteriorated as fast as

75
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 6: expected either. So from a policy point of view, I

76
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 6: think it does make sense that the RBA is on hold.

77
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: From here, Dianamos snap at amp and that's news when
