Proposal days after signing the bill to keep the government funded for a few more weeks. A big win for streamers as peek peacock and universal grabs the spotlight for the Academy Awards. Its monday, march 11th, 2024. Youre watching Worldwide Exchange right here on cnbc. Good morning and welcome to Worldwide Exchange. Thank you so much more being here. Lets kickoff the check of the stock futures. The nasdaq and s p hit record highs before they ended the day in the red. Look right here. You see futures a bit mixed. Nasdaq peeking into positive territory. The dow would open up 70 points lower. Investors are dpegearing up fore consumer and kohls and ulta beauty reporting this week. Ahead of the release, we are checking the yields at the lowest level in one month. The benchmark at 4. 07 . We are seeing the 30year long bond read on Inflation Expectations coming in at 4. 25 . We are talking gold which continues to trade at a record high. It is down fractionally. Trading at 2,180 an ounce. We will watch gold throughout the morning and we are also watching digital gold. Bitcoin hit 70,000 on friday. Pushing itself to new highs. Up 2. 5 . Trading at 71,250. Look at this here. Bitcoin in the last year rising 250 . That is the money set up. Now we turn our attention back to stocks and the culprit in the friday loss was nvidia. Shares up 5 in early trading before sharply changing course to close down more than 5. 5 . The last time nvidia had an intraday swing of 10 was back in june of 2017. It was not market mover it is today. The stock has risen 2,000 since then. Nvidia with the biggest single day percentage decline since may last year. Shares are up about 1 higher this morning in the premarket. Other a. I. Related stocks fell friday. Amd antiwant semi and arm and assumer micro are all in the red. Some traders are calling this exhaustion and this move is unhealthy. Joining me now is gina sanchez. Gina, good morning. Good to see you. Good to see you. Help us make sense of this. We have a big momentum trade on wall street, but nvidia closed in the red and at the same time, thes thes s s that nasdaq hit the intraday high. If you look year to date, no question that nvidia is a massive part of what is happening in the market. The Market Dynamics are driven by nvidia, meta and microsoft. On the down side, tesla and apple. The five stocks explain what happened over the last year to date. If you look in the last month and week to week, you see the market has been broadening. Yes, nvidia is definitely a huge contributor to what happens, but it is becoming less and less of a contributor modestly and that is healthy for the market. There is evidence to that. We saw a rotation with the russell hitting a 52week high. If we see the weakness in nvidia, do you see more of investors going to the more defensive trade . I think it is a couple of things that are going to feed that. One is the outlook for when the fed will cut. Two, the outlook for inflation will feed that and what happens with growth. At the moment, you know, economists have upgraded expectations for growth up to to 2. 1 . It is pretty good. It is as soft as you can get. If that passes, that is a different place than the world we were in. If the fed decides to wait on the cut, there is uncertainty in the market. That defensive trade could take hold. The market itself is broadening. You talk uncer uncertainty. We felt inflation was on the right track and then jay powell said it seems it is on the right track, but they need more he have evidence. You are in the camp of a hotter inflation report. What happens then . I think that the market will get a little more defensive without a doubt. We already saw hotter than p ex expected ppi. They have been range bound all year. Economists thought we were falling. The expectation is 2. 7 . That means we could get a hotter than expected number in the next inflation print. If thats the case, powell will move slowly and the market is coming back to thinking that three rate cuts are in the mix for this year. That was down from six which is what we believed at the beginning of the year. If that is potentially threatened to be less than that, then we could see the markets just continue to wonder about whether or not 23 times pe makes sense. A lot hinges on the cpi. Gina sanchez, thank you. Time for the check of the top corporate stories with silvana henao. Silvana, good morning. Frank, good morning. The road show for reddits is set to kickoff today.

Welcome back to Worldwide Exchange. We are watching shares of oracle after the close today. The companys revenue is expected to rise after missing expectations for the past two quarters. Investors are looking out for expansion and a. I. And the cloud market slowdown. Joining me is james demmer at main street research. He owns oracle for several clients. James, great to see you. Good morning, frank. Shares are up a bit after the opening bell. Shares are 125. You say this is a crucial quarter for the company. It is a crucial quarter. They overpromised and under delivered, if you will. That is what will cause investors to lose confidence if they cant meet the numbers. We are looking at specific met metrics from ellison and katz. They missed on the revenue for the cloud covering for sure. The a. I. Tech race. At the same time, the expense side of the equation is important because they are trying to build out the data center. There is a challenge there, but they overpromised. Thats why investors are disappointed. Lets talk about the cloud business. The estimate has it rising by 11 year over year. There is growth there, but as an investor, is there enough growth . You have to remember oracle is the First Company to highlight a partnership with nvidia and a. I. Capabilities. Mo monetization. What companies can expect that . It is important. In this market, a. I. Techled bull market means you want to be with the winners. They teaseem to have a hard tim. This is the show me the money quarter. We will listen to iellison and katz. The build out of data centers. The estimate for the year is 8 billion in cap ex. The estimates are 5. 3 billion in cap ex for the second half of the year. Barclays says cap ex is the only thing they matters. That implies they have revenue coming in to justify that. Do you need a commitment to cap ex for this stock to go forward . I see what theyre saying. Thats the stock and the companys problem the last two quarters. Every time they report, it is not there. Again, this is an a. I. Techled bull market. Companies are monetizing faster. Even as a shareholder, an gain, i want to make sure that that monetizing machine, if you will, is really up to speed this quarter. Otherwise, it is promise me this quarter and next quarter. A lot of other companies are nailing it. I think investors want to listen closely to this. If they nail it, the stock is attractive and it has a great upward trajectory from here. If they dont, it is a trading range stock attractive a. I. Play with forward pe. Again, you say this is a show me quarter. James look at apples worse session and the preview of the mega cap meltdown in realtime. Cnbc celebrates womens heritage month.

Heres whats on deck. Stocks looking to shake off a losing week. The key reports in the days ahead. Shares of nvidia looking to turn things around after suffering the biggest single day decline in a year. Could the selling be a signal of the unwind of the momentum play . The white house releases the president s Budget Proposal. It is monday, march 11th, 2024. You are watching Worldwide Exchange here on cnbc. Welcome back to Worldwide Exchange. Im frank holland. We pick up the half hour check of the u. S. Stock futures. Stocks coming off a negative finish on friday after the nasdaq and s p hit record highs. A mixed picture right now. The dow would open up 70 points lower. I know people on twitter say dont say open up lower. We are looking at the s p which is flihigher. We are checking the bond market. Yields at the lowest level in one month. We look at the benchmark at 4. 07 . The long bond read on expectation is 4. 25. Bitcoin is at the alltime high right now. Trading at 71,650. It trades around the clock. Up over 3 . Bitcoin hitting a new alltime high as we speak. Crypto stocks are moving in tandem right now. Coinbase is up 6. 5 . Mike microstrategy is up. Broadly, crypto is moving higher in the market. That is the money set up. We turn back to the stories with apple snapping a sevensession losing streak. The longest since january of 2022. Nvidia is looking to turn things around after the prbrutal frida closing down 5 . The stock coming off a monster day in terms of volume. More than doubling the 30day average with more than 110 million shares trading hands. Showing the selling happening with some conviction. Could this be a shortterm move or as mike santoli writes, could the terrible friday be a most mo momentum unwind . Joining us is our guests. How should we view everything with nvidia and apple . The momentum trade. Has it stalled out . What is your take . Ill start with nvidia. The first ten weeks of the year, they are up 81 . On friday, they were down 5 . You know, the math on that is still pretty good. I like nvidia. I think it is overbought and overpriced. I like it. It is a Solid Company. Because it has the meme stock philosophy doesnt mean anything. It is real leadership. I think if some of the bigger funds that have bought in over the last year and a half are locking in gains hshow there is are Retail Investors looking to get in the company. Craig, i want to get the technical take of what we are seeing. In your mind, when it comes to momentum trade, did that action on friday change the narrative with the mega cap tech trade . Frank, it is starting to change. Just looking at the price action and the big outside day on nvidia last week. If you look at the longterm chart, this is the classic definition of the parabolic chart. It stock is up since the october 2022 lows. Up 400 from the october 2023 lows. It has gone parabolic. P people have to do rebalancing. You can lose momentum as that happens. It is a great company, but a dangerous stock to jump into after moves this large in a short period of time. You are saying it is a dangerous stock to jump into. From the technical perspective, how is it with the area of resistance at the alltime high . There was a time when apple was important for the rally. Has it switched with nvidia . This is a single stock market, frank. Nvidia is not going to participate. This market is due for a correction. We have been talking about a 5 to 10 correction in the market. Frank, if you look back at the longterm chart, you could see nvidia correct 30 and still be in an up trend. That is a huge move. I dont think a lot of investors will have patience for a 30 correction in the momentum stock. Thats where it becomes dangerous. For clarity, you say resistance at the alltime high of 5157. S p and nasdaq hit intraday highs. Sarah, back to you. Lets talk about the fundamentals of apple. You said the weakness in china is an issue hitting revenues, but not the endall be all. How can apple move higher without growth in china . I think they will have to find other markets. The reality is that in china, there is government pressure to not bring your apple device to work. Increasing in the private and public sector. That means people are getting different devices. So, you know, i think that is a market that has not been hes any easy in china for most tech companies. Facebook is banned in china. Uber failed there. Google is basically banned there. These companies are doing okay without china. You have to decide if you accept the headwinds and build elsewhere and we have seen tim cook spend a lot of time in india. I was surprised we didnt see cameos of him at the recent wed wedding. We have seen him make a real effort. There is a huge middle class there as well to really lean into. I think we will see more of that stuff. At the same time, you do admit nvidia is overbought. Rsi is over 70. Does that matter when it comes to the company . It does matter a lot of times with stocks, but this one has something with a big moat on and everybody needs. I think nvidia is still making chips that people need. Other peers in the magnificent seven make up a huge amount of revenue. Double digits of revenue every year. These are solid customers that arent going away. I dont think nvidia will have this lead over a. I. Chips forever. There are a lot of competitors catching up. We are seeing them hop up. At the same time, it is a Solid Company. I dont think they will go away. The question is how many people buying in at the insane rampup over the last year were buying into a Solid Company that would not go away versus something they hoped would be a forever up to the right stock. That Perception Gap is what drives or doesnt drive the stock price. Craig, give us the technical look at both nvidia and apple. Which direction do you see both going . Frank, both stocks will continue to correct. The magnificent seven is the fantastic four and the dynamic duo. In terms of what we see with apple, we are seeing weakness in relative strength. Frank, i see a 5 to 7 down turn. It is really hard to keep buying the stock here. If it was just to correct back to the long term, frank, this could be a 30 correction with nvidia. That is the reality of what the charts look like here. Craig johnson and sarah kunst. Thank you. Have a great day. Time for the check of the top corporate stories with silvana henao. Silvana, good morning. Frank, good morning. Openais board room drama full circle. Reinstating sam altman to the board with full confidence after firing and rehiring him last november. This follows the investigation by openai which concluded the ousting as a consequences of the loss of trust between altman and the board. Nvidia is sued by three authors who say it used their information to train the platform. Class action filed in a San Francisco court. The authors claim nvidia admitted to using the work to stimulate written language before taking it down due to copyright infringement. And President Biden signing a 460 billion package of spending bills and avoiding a government shutdown. The six measures will keep agencies turned through september. Lawmakers are working on a second package of bills and including the department of defense and homeland security. Silvana, thank you. We stick with the biden administration. The news alert. The 2025 Budget Proposal set to be released today and we are learning some of whats expected. Megan cassella is here with more. Megan, good morning. Good morning, frank. Thats right. We are awaiting the release of the full biden budget. We know this will be a proposal that will lower costs for families and raise taxes on billionaires and cut the deficit by 3 trillion over the next decade. Digging in a little bit here on the spending side, the white house will invest in manufacturing and clean jobs and it wants to provide National Paid leave and protect medicare and social security. As for lowering costs for families, the white house says there will be programs to reduce the cost of child care and make college more affordable and housing more accessible by proposing a tax credit for f firsttime home buyers. Speaking of taxes, we are expecting around a revenue raising proposals here with higher minimum tax on corporations and lifting that level from 15 to 21 . He will crackdown on corporate Profit Sharing and imposing a 25 minimum tax on billionaires. Frank, what we dont know yet are the actual numbers attached to the priorities. We will find out later today how much he will spend overall and how much he expects to raise and how much he wants to give to each agencies. We will see estimates on spending on the national debt. We know the president s priorities for the next fiscal year. Frank. How likely is all this to actually happen . That is the question of the day. Of course, all of this is almost certain to change. The president can say what he wants, but its congress who controls the purse strings. That doesnt mean it will all change. We know he pro proptecting soci security is a bipartisan issue. Some of the other proper decisions with the Corporate Tax rate and tax on billionaires have been difficult to get through congress before we expect to see difficulty. We have to wait and see.

Microsoft at the top which is down 1 . Boeing and salesforce following. Turning to reddit kicking off the ipo today. The Company Plans to raise as much as 748 million. That would mark one of the biggest ipos of the year. If reddit prices as planned, it will have a smaller valuation of 6. 5 billion compared to the 10 billion estimate back in 2021. Reddit started ipo talks two years ago when it set an alltime record of 339 billion. That record is off the highs reaching 26 billion last year. Lets talk more about this and the Funding Landscape with alexander dumal. Thank you, frank. Lets talk about reddit. I spent time talking to traders and the pe firm. Is this a social media and ad company or a data company with realtime reactions from so many users . Frank, it is good to take a step back on the private equity landscape and how ipos are part of the strategies for private companies. In general, you show all of the numbers between 2021 and 2023. The ipo hasnt been that high of an exit strategy for private equity in general. It has been 3 going through the channel. There is a bit of pressure with private equity for investors. A little pressure there. How does that shape this ipo market . Reddi, it is the one we are talg about now. We showed the chart of the other companies expected to ipo this year. We see it is an interesting market. This market will get unstuck. 2023 has been a Challenging Market for private equity. We see significant decline in act activity. 44 down. We think this is the right environment where we see more of the exits coming to bear including reddit. You gave us an Interesting Data point. You said 1. 2 trillion raised by private equity companies. Sitting on 1 trillion of dry powder. A quarter is four years or older. Are they itching to spend . Absolutely. If you look at the stats, longterm private equity has done well. It grew from 4 billion to 50 trillion asset class. If you just look at last year, deals were off 37 from the year before. 60 versus 2021. Theres clearly a lot of nervous news with the unprecedented rise in Interest Rates that private equity is achieviachieving. You talk 26 . That is significant. 26 of all assets in private equity funds is more than four years. Assets that investors committed to them which hasnt been deployed into assets. It is not just that money thats able to be deployed. It is also the assets being held by private equity funds. Quickly, i want to bottom line it. Are you expecting to see a lot of pe activity because they have been sitting on so much money . We see a recovery coming this year. We will see green shoots of activity.

For more, lets bring in sam stovall. Good morning, frank. Give us a sense of the day shaping up. What is your wex word of the day . We have seen rotation out of the high flyers and Communications Services and discretionary and tech to the under performers of Consumer Staples and utilities. That will likely run its course. You mentioned the defensive shift. You said utilities was the best sector last week. What does that signal to you with the momentum trade that powered the market in the last year and change with thing magnificent seven or the fantastic four . The investors are willing to invest nin the market, but hopping from one lily pad to another. They are trading at a sharp discount on the relative pe basis. They offer highdividend yields and growth potential. A good place to rhide out as th market goes through the traditional gains following of the prior bear market of 2022. Sam, you are focused on valuation. Our picks are based on valuation. When we look at valuation, we look at the market be frothy. How important is tomorrows cpi read . How important is it that we get the three cuts to the overall market and the price action today . I think cpi is something investors will focus on. Our expectation is a back up to growth of 0. 4 over 0. 3 last month. You remember that we did end up having a sharp decline after last hunmonths cpi report. In the long trend, it is downward for inflation. The fed will continue to, i think, be slower to lower Interest Rates. They will do so for the first time in june, 11 months after the last rate hike which is the time span between those two traditionally. We will see three total rate cuts in 2024 before getting additional ones in 2025. Does higher for longer continue to put pressure on the idea the valuations are too high . I think it certainly has concern that the longer the fed waits to start cutting Interest Rates, the increase of the likelihood we could end up with recession, even if it is mild. I think the recession is off the table, but the longer the fed waits to start to ease is increasing investor concern. Lets get some of your picks. We will show them right now. One is walmart and the other is a utility. You are saying part of the reason these are your picks because valuations are off their highs. Yes. Being a fairly conservative guy, i guess i like to say i wear both a belt and suspenders. I look to the stocks which have good fundamental outlooks and good technical considerations. From cfra equity analysts, walmart is one company that has a favorable investment recommendation along with a good power rating. Looking at fundamentals and technicals. Other companies would be information in the aep also taking a look at target resources which is a transportation firm. Essentially, these are companies with good upside fundamental potential and better supported by good technicals. Sam, always great to see you. Thank you very much.
