0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 2>This is the closing bell on this stock movers report

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 2>the company's making moves at the close of US trading

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:21.319
<v Speaker 2>with Carol Masser, Tim Stenebeck, Romain Bostik and Scarlet Food.

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's get to the S and P five hundred, folks.

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 3>It's up seven days in a row. As Romaine was

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 3>pointing out, it's up about two percent in those seven days, Katie.

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 4>If I look at the.

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Trade, though, yet about half higher, half lower. So it's

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 3>not like everybody was enjoying the move up to another

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 3>record close on the S and P five hundred, it.

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 4>Was slightly better.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 5>If you take a look at it through the lens

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 5>through sectors, you had seven sectors in the green, just

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 5>four in the red. What was leading the charge?

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Who?

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 5>Other than information technology up about six tenths of a

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 5>percent as a whole consumertive discretionary also punching above its weight.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 4>So to different location services.

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 5>I always feel like I'm saying it's formal name, it's

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 5>government name. That's just what the terminal takes.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 6>Call it it it there you go.

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 4>I feel seel so outdated.

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>It's like communication services.

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I couldn't tell you, but tech information tech leading

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 5>gains there. I will just point out healthcare having a

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 5>bad day. It's been an interesting sector as of late,

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 5>but right now interesting to.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 4>The downsill care. Now that's a name that's timeless.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, I know exactly what that is.

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 4>We don't just call that HC. We have to call

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 4>it healthcare.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, Let's go to some of the individual gainers.

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned semiconductor outperformance, the socks outperforming.

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, AMD.

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 3>We know this story. You guys have spent a lot

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 3>of time talking about it. It's been really our big

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 3>business story here on this Monday, AMD shares up as

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>much as thirty seven percent at their highs today, finishing

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 3>with a gain of just shy of twenty four percent.

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, holy moly, Batman, the AI rally and the

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 3>chip grab it is on in a big way. We've

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 3>spent a lot of time just trying to figure out

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 3>to spend the companies that are working together. I mean,

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 3>does it all play out the revenues ultimately be there,

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 3>and I feel like I guess time will tell, But anyway,

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 3>AMD top gainer in the S and P and NDX

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 3>that deal with open AI for our AI infrastructure could

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 3>generate tens of billions of dollars in new revenue.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>A lot of memories, like when I would get off

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>school as a kid and you watch the old reruns

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and like the original right word and Adam West.

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>I know it was iconic, right, it was absolutely good stuff,

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 3>good stuff, great mom and k Yeah.

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 4>They're like, who I'm reminiscent?

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.519
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's get to another big gainer in today's session.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you guys checked out critical medals today.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Take or see orml at its highs up one hundred

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 3>and nine percent, finishing with a gain of forty five percent.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>This after Reuter's reported the Trump administration officials have discussed

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 3>taking a stake in.

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 4>The metal mining company.

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>If finalized, deal would give the US government a direct

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 3>investment in the largest rare earth's project in Greenland, again.

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 4>According to the Reuters report.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 3>So again, this is something a theme we've seen about

0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 3>the US government taking potentially ownership stakes in various companies

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 3>that they deem important to US security.

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 4>And then Co America. We had a big bank deal.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Let's not forget that fifth third bank or agreeing to

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>buy co America for about ten point nine billion in stock.

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 4>It would be the largest US bank deal this year.

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 3>We've seen several bank deals happening, and again Komerica tim

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>up about fourteen percent in today's session.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 6>All right, let's talk about some notable decliners in the

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 6>S and P five hundred today. Among the worst performers

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 6>on a percentage basis was Verizon Chick ticker vv Z

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 6>actually shares closing the worst or worst one day drop,

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 6>I should say, going back to April of this year.

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 6>So some surprise news from the c suite. Hans Vestsburg

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 6>out after what eight years? Is CEO since twenty eighteen,

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 6>so seven years a CEO. Former PayPal CEO Dan Shulman

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 6>coming in as CEO replacing Hans Vestberg. Vesburg will stick

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 6>in the role of advisor to the company for the

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.119
<v Speaker 6>next year. He's going to help ensure a smooth transition,

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 6>including the integration with Frontier Communications that purchase went through.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 6>Late Verizon has been losing subscribers in market share. It

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 6>did shed fifty one thousand monthly mobile customers in the

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 6>second quarter. Shulman actually he's known for eBay and PayPal,

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 6>but he also had experience at AT and T Virgin Mobile,

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 6>like more than twenty years ago. He was the founder

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 6>of that company and he was there for ten years,

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 6>and then he was at Nextel Sprint, So he's got

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 6>some experience in the communications space once again. Shares down

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 6>five point one percent, Street cred, Street cred. You know,

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 6>I always thought of him as a Silicon Valley guy.

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 6>That's kind of like when he got on my radar,

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 6>and a payments guy. But so it's interesting that this is,

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, and he's been on the board for years too.

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 6>Fifth Third Bank finishing down one point four percent. Carol

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 6>talked about the increase in Comerica's session today, the acquire

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.479
<v Speaker 6>shedding one point four percent today, this after it announced

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 6>a deal for about ten point nine billion dollars in stock.

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 6>It is the largest US bank deal this year. We're

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.479
<v Speaker 6>going to be speaking with Herman Chan about this in

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 6>just a few minutes. And then a late breaking edition.

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 6>You did, I saw him on your air.

0:04:59.040 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 4>We were really good?

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 6>Was it good?

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 4>Thanks cool? Thanks for warming him up there.

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 6>We did sort of like a whole hour on AMD

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 6>Open Ai. Everything happening with sort of the Nvidia and

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 6>the AI trade today. Yeah, it was it was a lot.

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we almost did too.

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 6>You almost did not quite. This was a late edition

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 6>app love and shares falling fourteen percent. They created right

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 6>at three point forty one pm Wall Street time today.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 6>This was after Bloomberg News reported that the SEC has

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 6>been probing probing app Lovin's data collection practices, specifically allegations

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 6>at the company violated platform partners service agreements to push

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 6>more targeted advertising to consumers. App Love and declined to

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 6>comment on the probe, saying it regularly engages with regulators

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 6>and would disclose any material developments through public channels. The

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 6>SEC didn't comment due to a shutdown.

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, just real quickly, let's take a look at yields.

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>We're going to look at treasury yields here in the US.

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 1>You did see the move higher across the curve, with

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the longer end of the curve seeing the most action.

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.119
<v Speaker 1>But we should point out this was actually a global phenomenon. Remember,

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>we had a lot of developments over the weekend, including

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 1>the extension of that government shut down here in the US,

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a government in France that lasted what like less than

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the lifespan of a mayfly. And then of course you

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>have a new potentially a new prime minister in Japan

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that is expected to also put some downward pressure on

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 1>bond prices over there here. So globally you saw a

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a sell off when it came so

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:18.919
<v Speaker 1>comes a sovereignty.
