And no buffett sharing the deal of the decade. All as Worldwide Exchange begins right now good morning happy new year welcome to the first trading day of the new decade. We are seeing some upside. This will be a slow trading week low volume is what we are seeing we are getting ready for a slightly positive open for all of the major indices closing out a record year. The s p and nasdaq coming off their best annual gains locking in 28. 8 for the s p 500 nasdaq the best year since 2013 up 35 for the year. Top stocks would be amd up 128 . Lets check on the bond market, the 10year currently trading at 1. 937 it wasnt just a good year here, it was a great year for global markets. Lets go worldwide now standing by in london with a recap of the global markets. Lets take your attention to markets there. A couple of catalysts there. China announced that they are cutting the triple r rate. It releases up to around 800 billion. Extra liquidity being pumped into the system. Shanghai composite up. The shenzhen up 1. 9 last year, up roughly 23 . Shenzhen up 35 . Really strong gains in these chinese indices. A lot of focus on the trade war. It has emerged that there will be a signing ceremony to take place january 15 another positive catalyst. We have the hang seng index. This market in hong kong has been under a lot of scrutiny because of the demonstrations and those continued over towards new years eve some demonstrators have been arrested what about europe . Taking your attention to the majors in europe a very strong year we spoke about. Ending up about23 similar gains to what we had in the composite. The uk ftse 100 up one percentage point firmer. Some of the minors are reacting quite well up about 8 up about 1. 3 bers. One of the big gainers is airbus up about 3. 25 percentage points. The italian index up 1. 2 . We had the final eurozone pmi manufacturing numbers came in slightly higher than expectations bester for italy, better for france and germany we are only about one hour into the trading session of what will be a very, very long year. Just at the start certainly over here, investors will be looking at u. S. china relations. President trump will sign a trade deal in a white house ceremony on january 15 details of the agreement remain scant. The president planning to travel to china for the phase two talks in the coming months if there were ever a story to bleed into 2020, this would be it how great that we have you here in person for the start of the year it is going to continue to dog the markets because of all the uncertainty. State media hasnt made a peep that there is going to be any kind of signing on january 15. That is something to watch another thing to watch is what is happening with the economy. We have more disappointing data. The pmi is a survey for private smaller companies. It showed it wasnt really good. 51 51. 5 versus 51. 8 new records are zroping and what people are looking for now is how the economy will shape up for 2019 on january 17 when the gdp number is released underscoring the agilities and stabilizing the growth there are a lot of reasons because they do see the slow down a long time ago, china made a promise they would double the gdp from 2010 in 2020. They made a big deal about that. President xi said it once again. The expectation now is that the government will want to stabilize growth especially when it has all of these other geopolitical issues on their plate. Another reason why there is a big believe that china does want this truce and does want this trade deal to go on. We havent heard a whole lot they will want this signing. The intention is there. We are heading into the Chinese New Year as well. The spending is still there it is like christmas you have to buy things, you have to eat a lot of pork still a lot of spending that will go on even before i left, coming here. The cash crunch and the discussion is really big right now. We saw moves the other story that was pretty interesting is the i dont know if you saw this one, they were reporting that china is going to halt the stock connect with london and that there have been a lot of discussions about maybe that is going to happen because geopolitical issues are on the rise. Thank you we were in beijing at the same time living in the same complex. It is so nice to see you thank you lets look at some of the other top stories we are following happy new year lets do overseas now as protesters rallied police used a water cannon, hundreds of demonstrators were arrested in all, they say they made 400 arrests on new years day.

Got to be loving the Canadian Music this morning looking at the top s p stocks of the decade look at that, netflixs in that top spot up more than 4,000 over the last 10 years the question of course, can it repeat that kind of performance or anywhere near it. Facing a ton of competition. New details emerging today over how former nissan chairman ghosn managed to skip bail in japan and escape to lebanon. So much intrigue. What a way to kick off the year something out of a movie. Apparently, we are learning the plan to slip carlos ghosn out of japan was reportedly hatched over a heard of about three months he was smuggled out by a private Security Company on a private jet first to istanbul and then to beirut. The pilot was reportedly unaware of ghosns presence. He and his wife are staying at a close familys house ghosn was greeted by lebanons president. Thanking him for his support the reports say lebanon had pressed for his return about a week before he escaped saying no need to take matters because he entered the country really even though his lawyers are holding his other three passports. Lebanon has no extradition with japan. He had four passports. He was allowed to keep one of those as a condition of his bail it was supposed to be held in a safe clearly he had access to it. This is a story that is far from over. He has said he will be defending himself and talking to the media in weeks ahead the focus will shift to the japanese legal system. How he could have gotten out and why he was allowed to keep a pass port and could raise questions and be an embarrassment. I think it is a black eye and it depends on who you are asking we heard him say he wasnt escaping the rigged justice. There is a good editorial siding with ghosn saying the evidence was merky and japan doesnt have good corporate transparency.

When it comes to the markets and the chances of a recession. Absence the mistake id say this year and next year. This is probably a 40 chance of recession. The market dropped 25 . Bernie sanders, same thing joining me now, Senior Market analyst. Good morning happy new year you are our first outside guest of 2020. You just heard all those sound bites. Really no real consensus there what are you seeing in terms of the Recession Risk it has certainly gone down considerably one of the two major concerns, running from the past year have been political concerns. The trade dispute and the possibility of a difficult exit of britain from the uk both of those have vanished or definished tremendously. That return based on whether or not these two problems will come to fruition will diminish. This is no longer a concern. That will bolster in the United States an already strong consumer economy in addition, even the areas such as europe which have been growing slowly will be booied if the u. S. And china take off from this trade deal, which is not a guarantee. I dont really see a chance for a recession. You see these risks have been diminished there is a good chance they could rear their ugly heads again. Phase one, we dont know all the details. It is an Election Year, how are you factoring that in . It really depends on the democratic candidate we are not going to know who they will be until the summer. It does not seem anyone is really running away with this. As far as donald trump goes, we already know what we are getting and what we have his policies have been played out for us i dont think there is any mystery there. I dont see the election unless there is an unusual element. Thats always possible that would not be received well by various markets around the world. Certainly not the year weve had but a solid year, what will drive those gains. Weve talked about trade, weve talked about the election and brexit the fundamentals, Earnings Growth where is that going to come from i see two things happening. That has been a psychological drag that will be diminished we have something returning as far as vim and verv in the economy. What im looking for would be increased growth getting that up to 3. 7 , that is enough energy to drive sectors such as consumers, i would anticipate Energy Sectors and commodities that will be priced higher because of increased use. That is certainly true from china. I think you have room there. Thank you for being with us coming up, the Home Shopping season moving up on the calendar what has potential buyers looking for a new home in the dead of winter plus bently makes a push fo the electric car market. All of this and more when we return welcome back apparently kicking off today the severe shortage of homes for sale actually changing the chal alen. Apparently january is the new april. Spring starts now. It found 2015 through 2018, the peek month for average listings was april. January lacked by 16 . In 2019, january was 1 slower than february. In 20 of the largest metro markets, january surged to the top. The busiest month for views in new york, l. A. , chick, dallas, chicago, atlanta, denver and san jose in 2018, that was true for three of the top 100 metros. Atlanta is continually competitive this year. Ive gotten at least 30, maybe 30 more phone calls already to start the home search in january it is a race out here. Either they get started fast or wait until the actual spring mark market and miss out on all the inventory. The average price for homes down 9. 5 . The price of sent ri level homes. Strong start. Can we read into the rest of the year here . Do you think these levels can be sustained or are they likely to pull back . Usually in the fall, we see a rise if we start to see more buying now, youll see a whole lot less come spring when all those buyers are out there again looking to move to the summer.

Lets take a quick look at the markets. We embark on a new month, new year and a new decade. Lets bring in coo of kpm financial. Good morning and happy new year to you happy new year from chicago we are excited and constructive on the new year. I want to get your take do you have a take on tesla . It is a pretty lofty price target it has had sensational move in december i know the sober truck has posted a lot of emotion and movement theyll still be held to the take on the fact will they still be delivered if he can deliver, you will see the momentum and right now as it closes around 418 can you see this achbnd tesla b about 400 looking at tech more broadly it has been the performer of the last year and the last decade. Does that continue broadening that out the last two sectors were consumer cyclicals and slk, which is technology. See we are talked about apple and microsoft. They contributed to over 15 of the s p 500 gains, which was nearly 30 for 2019. That momentum. We think that momentum is still in tact. Some of the high fliers like the apple and the fop holding. You see master card and everyone intel. A lot of people would be putting money to work. If you have the big names, you would have emitted a few. Amazon was up if you talk about amazon prime, it continues to make people crawl deeper. I know personally, we use amazon for about everything my kids are getting more and more involved. These are names we want to add to as the year presents count. It was a sensational ride. The fed, the consistency they are bringing in the market has allowed the markets to move higher as long as the 10year note is staying under 1. 95 . A number that is really going to allow for stock markets to gain and move higher. What if anything is going to be keeping you up at night . I think it is the fed it is an Election Year historically speaking. I do worry about the fed they switched stance they were supposed to really move the rates three times they ended up cutting rates three times. That about face, well see how they continue to follow through on that messaging. As long as that is in tact, the market is in a good spot do you think the fed could change its stance this year . We worry about it all the time the fed policy is always a concern. The mistake. Some type of mistake that could really jeopardize more in 2020 thats always a situation that keeps me up at nights. What will be the impetus of next year. A lot of what drove last year, those cuts and driving the returns in the konling year. Talking about the rates going and recession talk, that pushes things to go lower they are chasing alpha hang in there. That is it for Worldwide Exchange squawk box begins right now.
