Welcome to Worldwide Exchange. Im sara eisen. Im wilfred frost. Good morning to you from me. Lets check in on the Global Markets. After u. S. Equities ended with positive gains yesterday, more than half a percent for the s p 500. Dow futures under just a tiny bit of pressure. Down nearly 4. S p 500 futures down almost 2. Nasdaq futures down 11 points. Lets check out the tenyear yield. Yields backed off the highs yesterday. That core cpi, Consumer Price index coming in a little soft. That led to yields lower, 174 is the yield on the tenyear. More than 60 chance that the fed hikes this year. Though its not really moving much from that 60, 65 chance. Its not fully priced in. Tenyear yield off the 180 level. The equities, even though gains were not huge, they were broad. All 11 s p 500 sectors in the green yesterday. Lets look at the global story this morning. China gdp. The economy there growing 6. 7 year other year in the Third Quarter. Interesting that matches the aim and also the last two quarters, coincidence or not. So therefore it was in line with consensus, also data, other data out, september industrial output expanding 6. 1 on the year. Slightly below estimates. Retail sales rose 10. 7 , a bit better than forecasts. Stocks in asia are mixed. Shanghai coming off a decent couple of weeks trading is flat. Hong kong down 0. 4. Japan up 0. 2 . In line with expectations but likely fueled by stimulus on which note which was a sharp rise in chinese lending. Keeping an eye on those figures. Gdp bang in line. European equities, a strong day yesterday, up 1. 5 . Today theyre giving back some of those gains. You can see 0. 2 for germany and france for germany and the uk. France is flat. As for the Broader Markets, seeing strength in the price of oil. Surprise draw down in the api inventory number yesterday. Well see if we get that trend today in the government report with crude inventories. That sent wti above 51 a barrel. Brent, 52. 41, up 1. 4 . Still talking about gains of about 13, 14 since that deal was announced in order to curb production. Well see if they can go through with it. That gave the oil bulls hope. Now breaking out of this range. That gain still very much based on rhetoric as opposed to action. Strong signals. Feels like theres a room for slippage because weve seen these things fall through before. 51, very healthy. Importantly, its come at a time when the dollar strengthened. Lets show you the currency trade. Off the eightmonth highs for the dollar index. The euro is getting a boost after a big selloff last week. Well see. Going into an ecb meeting on thursday. Dollar yen hovers around the 103. 41 level. So, again, following yields, the dollar. As yields come off their highs, so does the dollar. Last week the story was stronger dollar, higher yields, this week giving a little bit back. The pound, 1. 2320 is the level. A bit of relief on the idea that maybe there will be a vote on the brexit terms . This morning also some labor market data coming out that is slightly stronger than expected. The vote aspect is complicated. Theres some legal challenges on the brexit issue. Theres likely to be a vote at the end when the negotiations are complete. The wild card, which i think still is unsure, is whether there would need to be a vote to invoke article 50. Still middle ground to expectations that there would be a vote soon to block the idea of brexit. Theyre figuring it out as they go. As for gold, lets show you the trade there. Getting a bit of strength today, not much. About two bucks. Gold trading 1265. Shares of intel sliding despite better than earnings revenue. The stock declined on intel Sales Guidance which came in short of consensus. The chipmakers executive Vice President , stacy stit, stressing the positives. We had a clean beat this quarter. In terms of the guidance we set, we were higher in terms of revenue. Our best ever revenue quarter, up 17 versus last quarter. A 65 gross margin and 18 profit growth. A fantastic quarter. Smith highlighted the companys success with noncomputer devices and that it aims to reduce dependence on selling chips for pcs. Yahoo . Earnings last night beating estimates while revenues met forecast. Issuing a stronger than expected outlook for the current quarter. The core advertising business continued to see declines. We found out from the report that the usage of yahoo s email service has increased slightly since the company disclosed that massive data breach last month. Yahoo didnt have the from traditional earnings conference call, but Marissa Mayers said she is confidence in yahoos core business as the firm preparing to integrate with verizon. Investors waiting for a tick up of the earnings and the trends of yahoo, now they wait until is gets sold to verizon. Some of the other top corporate stories. Standard poors lowering the wells fargo outlook. Following the downgrade, wells fargo delayed selling a tenyear bond. Its now expected to price today. The wells fargo fallout continues. The state of massachusetts will now stop using the bank as a bond underwriter for a year. Joining a growing list of state and local governments suspending ties with the lender. The states treasurer said she is not convinced that wells has grasped the level of seriousness of its actions or addressed the systemic failures within the organization. Its not all the states feel like they need to jump on. Sort of political . Doesnt hit their earnings. Also not part of the business that was affected in the scandal. Trying to make a statement. Its political, ahead of voting. Its, i know, its drip feeding it through, but not a huge issue for wells. Though, as these little bits of news come out t hasnt stopped the bleeding. Certainly from the stock and from the questions about whether wells has fixed what looks like a systemic issue. You still see the share price under pressure. Yeah. Definitely. Were still on wells fargo, former ceo, john stumpf resigning from the boards of target and chevron. Chevron said strumpf left the board for perm reasons. Its another busy day for earnings and economic data. September Housing Starts are expected to have rebounded. 2 00 p.

A trio of fed officials are speaking today, San Francisco fed john williams, rob kaplan and new york fed president bill dudley. Look for results from Morgan Stanley before the bell. American express and ebay after the close. Overall what was a pretty Strong Quarter and strong thanks to fixed income bond trading. Mainly because of fixed income bond trading. Investment bond revenue more mixed. The m a pipeline was pretty good. The standout thing from Goldman Sachs was the return on equity, up 11 . Thats havent seen that in a few years. And its a real standout relative to other banks. All the banks saying its not a stellar environment to be trading trading in, but all of them showing decent returns. It will be hard to beat that r. O. E. Landon has three things for us to watch in a different set of numbers in American Express, which reports today. Landon .

Less than three weeks from election day and the president ial candidates will go head to head one last time. The third and final debate tonight in las vegas. Tracie potts joins us from las vegas with a preview. Great back drop there in vegas. Im sure people are still out from last night. Reporter no question about that. Good morning, everyone. Were actually overlooking the strip because we had to move off the unlv campus because theyre doing the final security preps for the debate tonight. We asked both campaigns to show us how their people on the ground are getting ready for this debate. The Trump Campaign declined. The Clinton Campaign gave us this inside look at volunteers. Hi, im calling from the hillary campaign. Reporter volunteers. Working the phones at Hillary Clintons nevada headquarters. Voting is in three weeks. Is there anything we can talk about . Reporter confident in their candidate but some anxious about tonights debate. One little thing can go wrong and thats all people remember. Reporter donald trump claims the media focuses more on Sexual Assault allegations against him than emails suggesting the state department tried to declassify a top secret email after clinton sent it. Reporter the press has created a rigged system and poisoned the minds of the voters. Id advise mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes. Reporter the president s half brother is attending tonights debate. Hes a trump supporter. So is the mother of bengahzi attack victim, sean smith. Shell be here. Clintons guests include mark cuban, a trump critic, and republican donor, meg whitman, now backing clinton. Clinton arrived in las vegas, her game plan, stay focused and look president ial. Trumps game plan, go after clintons and look smart. Hell be go out swinging. Hell be on the left, hell be on the right with millions of undecided voters still in the middle. We learned overnight that donald trump touched down late last night a few hours ago. Clinton will get the first question tonight. What is the status of nevada itself in terms of which way it will vote and its own senate race which i think will be tight, right . Talking about that senate race in nevada which is interesting. Theyre replacing harry reid who is retiring as not only the minority leader, previously the majority leader but also the representative for this state. Its a tight race. When i was at clinton Head Quarters yesterday, as theyre maki making calls, thats one where theyre more concerned interestingly. Well see how harry reid and donald trump play in, even though neither are running for that senate race. Thank you, tracie potts reporting for us. On the vegas front. Yes. Lucky numbers . Roulette i always play. The most social game. 26 is my number. 26 . Mmhmm. Any reason . Just a number everyone in my family has played on roulette. What about you . Number 11. Its a fun game. We should go. We would gamble the whole time and miss the debate. We did hear from tim kaine on cnbc yesterday. He spoke with kelly evans and said Hillary Clinton would seek to strengthen regulations on wall street. Kaine also hammered those who argue donald trump would be better for the economy than clinto clinton. I cant imagine any savvy financial person who thinks that the trump plan is going to be better when the independent analysts who are sharp at this say it will be dramatically worse. Secondly, when it comes to taxes. The trump plan does a lot of tax giveaways, but groups left, right and center who look at it say it will raise taxes on millions of middle class families. Thats just to the what we ought to be doing right now. Kaine added that no one should worry about fair wall street regulations that will allow the economy to grow in a sustainable way. An interesting question she asked is what role would Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders play in the next administration if they win, he declined and said we wont count our chickens before they hatch. I dont see Elizabeth Warren playing second fiddle very well. She likes to be out in front. She has an oped this morning in the Washington Post going after donald trump. The other thing, to enhance her Hillary Clintons business acumen and vote on that, did you see the story tim cook was considered as a possible running mate . Theres a long list that would have done well. I dont think any of them with have accepted it. This is in the week the podesta email came out. A number of corporate leaders, the ceo of cocacola. Howard schultz of starbucks, i guess it was considered not that big of a deal. But it could have been an interesting balance of the ticket. Sticking with politics, Richard Branson is not rooting for donald trump to become president. Appearing yesterday on power lunch, he said the u. S. Would definitely benefit from having an entrepreneur run the country but trump is not the right one. Id listen to what hes had to say, and i think what hes had to say is dangerous. And hurtful. And hes not a good listener. Hes not somebody who could get a great team of people around him to run this country. Hes had a lot of disaster with his countries. Hes been bankrupt three times, despite being given a lot of money from his father in a silver spoon. Branson endorsed Hillary Clinton in a blog post last week writing a Trump Presidency would be a disaster. You can catch all the action from the third and final president ial debate right here on cnbc. Coverage begins at 9 00 p. M. Still to come, the top stories including the latest gdp figures out of china. A live report from beijing still ahead. Dont miss Goldman Sachs mareman and ceo Lloyd Blankfein. He will join david faber live at 2 40 p. M. Youre watching Worldwide Exchange. Good morning. New data on chinas economy. A live report from beijing straight ahead. Shares of yahoo and intel on the move this morning. And rewriting the rules. Why facebook wants you to discuss politics with friends. Its wednesday october 19, 2016. Youre watching Worldwide Exchange on cnbc. Good morning. Welcome back to Worldwide Exchange. Im sara eisen. Im wilfred frost. Good morning to you from me as well. Lets get to the market action. We saw gains yesterday led by the nasdaq up 0. 8 . The s p 500 and dow up around a half percent with all 11 s p 500 sectors in the green. Today we are looking at declines, only slight. Just below flat. This off the back of a mixed picture of trade. Slightly soft in europe, down 0. 2 for the main indices. Of course yesterday your closed very strong indeed, up about 1. 5 . A bit of profit taking understandable. Also a bit of treading water the day before an ecb meeting. Feels like the stock market cant get itself going in terms of momentum. One day on, one day off. Yesterdays gains were the best of october for the s p 500 and the nasdaq. The momentum is not there. Will it come from earnings . Were looking for a catalyst. Will it come from the fed . Thats where investors are trying to figure out whether december is a go, whether thats okay for the economy. A lot of big question marks. The momentum is not there but it comes off the back of a Strong Quarter for share price performances or in and around record highs for the nasdaq. High valuations. High valuations and bond yields ticked up. We were down to 1. 6. Now close to 1. 8. The fact that markets have not been derailed is how we should be framing it. The bull side, you have oil prices breaking out of a range at 51 a barrel. And you have Earnings Growth. Look at what the banks just reported. The bar may be set high for this group. Certainly profits and better trade revenues. Well see what the consumer sector, discretionary kicks off as. I think the banks paint the picture well. If you take Goldman Sachs out, compared to q1 and q2, they already had good share price perform plans. Based on fed rate hike expectations. Thats what it comes down to for the banks and other sectors. Earnings beat, we got a bit of a pick up in share prices. It hasnt held because it comes down to one factor, will we get the rate hike, in which case theyre off to the races, if not, theyre not. On that front, theres squishy data on the economy. Squishy. I like the word. The Global Market story and mi economic story is China Growing 6 6. 7 . Eunice yoon has that and more. Good to see you. Good to see you, too the economic stability here is really the main priority of the government but to some exists the numbers that were looking at are not only squishy but maybe a bit too stable. The gdp figures were 6. 7 , the same as the first and second quarter, that leads to questions of the voracity of the numbers. A lot of economists have been looking at the september figures. Trying to get a better sense of the growth momentum. The Industrial Production numbers came in a bit slower. But at the same time, the fai, fixed Asset Investment and retail sales kale in improved. That was good. What was driving the growth in the Third Quarter is Government Spending as well as recovery in the property sector. Weve seen the government unleashing or green lighting a lot of infrastructure projects, and through the state banks unleashing credit. Thats helped to lift the housing sector. Though now, guys, people are more concerned about the potential dangers and risks that come with that. Thats always the question right after these numbers what st is the expectation for the stimulus, how much stimulus is there in the economy. Were trying to figure out these puzzles. How would sum up the government involvement on the economic side to get the 6. 7 growth number . I think the government involvement is very, very heavy. On one hand the government has voiced their concerns about not repeating 2009 after the financial crisis. So there hasnt been a big flood. At the same time they do have growth targets they want to reach. Thats the big concern, that they are more focused on the growth targets, and letting things go a bit with the whole credit and concerns about rising debt. Eunice yoon, thank you very much for running the numbers out of china. As for the Broader Market picture, i mentioned oil. Nice rally, wti above 51 a barrel. Brent 52. 44, up 1. 5 . Surprise draw down in inventories from the api report yesterday. Well get the crude number later in todays session. Tenyear yield off the highs of la last week, 1. 74. The Consumer Price index a bit soft. Squishy. You love that word. Its yours. As for the dollar which has been following yields closely, its also backing off with yields. The euro stronger, 1. 09. Weaker against the yen and the pound strengthens, 1. 23. The dollar you might say today is squishy . Yeah. Dollar yields a bit squishy. Have not been solid recently. Gold prices to round things off, i wonder what theyll be higher. Solid. Up half a percent. Not squishy. 1. 269. Shares of intel sliding despite better than expected earnings and revenue. There was growth in the pc demand and date and cloud z services. Stacy smith stressing the positives on closing bell yesterday. The data center was an alltime record. The internet was an alltime record. Fo from t from what we see as our strategy was hoping, we see this strength in the cloud and the data center, then all of these smart and connected devices connecting to that cloud. Thats where you see strength in the internet of things and the strength in the client sector with pcs. Intel transitioning to faster growing areas like cloud. Shares down about 5 in the premarket. They were down yesterday as much as 6 after the call kept going. Thats when they started to lose steam. A lot of people talking about the lowering of the bar for the data Centers Growth to the high single digits. That needed to be double digits according to investors. The stock has given about half back in the premarket. And intel has not hit the growth target for data centers, only did that once in the last six years. And that accounts for nearly half of the companys operating market. Yahoo beating estimates while revenues met forecasts. Yahoo issuing a stronger than expected outlook for the current quarter. Yahoo did not have its traditional conference call, but in a statement marissa myer said she is confident in the core business. Shares up about 1 in the premarket. A leaked document from an internal presentation from earlier this year shows sales force. Com was looking at more than a dozen potential takeover targets but twitter did not make the list. The document from may was part of hacked emails from former u. S. Secretary of state colin powell. Hes on salesforces bond. The document has 14 possible targets including adobe and linkedin. Clearly when we get emails like that, its going to cause a lot of chatter and discussion on wall street. Indeed. Beyond earnings, lets get to some other top corporate stories. Standard poors lowering wells fargo forecast from stable to negative. Following the downgrade, wells fargo delayed selling a tenyear bond. It is expected to price today. Another busy one for earnings and economic data. Today, september Housing Starts due out at 8 30 a. M. Eastern time. They are expected to have rebounded this month after falling 6 in august. 2 00 p. M. , the monthly beige book report from the fed which tracks conditions in the 12 districts. A trio of fed officials are speaking today, San Francisco fed john williams, dallas fed president rob kaplan and new york fed president bill dudley. Look for results from Morgan Stanley before the bell. After the bell, American Express and ebay reporting. 7 00 a. M. For Morgan Stanley. And then the call. An unusual collision of business, government and hollywood today. Leonardo dicaprio says he is cooperating in the malaysian wealth fund scandal. The doj argues 3. 5 billion has been stolen from the wealth fund. Leonardo dicaprio says he is waiting to hear from the government about any illgotten funds that may have helped finance his film the wolf of wall street. Todays top trending stories, president obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted their final official state dinner last night. They were hosting italian Prime Minister mateo renzi and his wife that was a starstudded crowd. Guests included gwen stefani, mar mar mario bitalli. Here is part of president obamas toast. I wanted to take this occasion to thank my great friend, mateo. He may be the youngest Prime Minister in modern italian history. He makes me feel old, which is unfortunate. When i came in, i was the young guy. Now hes the young sguy. Do you know how old is he . Early 40s. Over 400 people attended the dinner. It looked like a ball. State occasions are pretty cool. Where is our invite. Lots of italians got invited to that one. Maybe you can go to theresa mays state dinner. Ill sneak you in. Will you . If you take me. If youre nice to me. Facebook wants you to back a political candidate. The social network is rolling out an endorsement feature. If youre worried about backlash from your circle of friends, dont fret, theres a way you can limit the audience of who will see your political pic, facebook having an issues tab with quotes and clips detailing a candidates policy. If their experience around brexit is anything to go by, i would say dont post your political allegiances. There were a lot of vitriolic attacks. Even though on this feature, you can make it so only your friends see it. Thats what i mean. It exposes divisions between friends which you didnt think existed. Coming up, the must read stories in the papers, first early european trading at this hour. A mixed to lower picture across the board. The ftse 100 down about a quarter of a percent. Honey, arent we having friends over . It reeks in here. I know [goat noise] i stole the other teams mascot for good luck. We need to wash this room. Wash it . Yeah, wash it with febreze. For all the things you cant wash, use febreze fabric refresher wow [inhales] it really smells great in here. Dog barks and try pluggable febreze, with up to 4 times the freshness in one refill. Pluggable febreze and fabric refresher [inhale exhale mnemonic], two more ways to breathe happy now to the mustread stories catching our attention in the papers. My pick in the Washington Post, americas election is giving the world some serious anxiety. Comes from David Ignatius who has been traveling lately. I picked it because on Worldwide Exchange we like to give the global view of the u. S. Political situation. He actually offers sort of a counter intuitive narrative that the world is not so bad. European allies are stressed by migration and populist but so far the fragile center is holding there, too. And it would be reinforced by a clinton victory. In asia, the next administration will build on enhanced economic and military ties with two close partners, south korea and japan. And closthey have become better friends with each other, too. So ultimately the election should yield he assumes Hillary Clinton will win the presidency. And another oped in the Washington Post today about how donald trump could still win, even though hes behind in the polls. Yeah. I think the issue, the comment on europe and its fragility. The issue with europe is theyre focused more on their own issues than the president ial election. My pick is in the wall street journal, millennials versus mutant capitalism. About 70 million millennials will be eligible to vote in the president ial election for the first time. The results of a survey seem troubling. About onethird of americans aged 18 to 29 support socialism, not even half back capitalism. Thats the basis of this article saying its a worrying position to be in. Yet the author goes on to say, strip away the titles of capitalism and socialism and the response is drastically different. A 2015 poll found that collegeage respondents are far more supportive of a free market system, 72 , than they are of a government manages system, 49 . So a growing number of the pie are disillusioned with the status quo, but when you dive into it, its not simply socialism they are supporting, they want to feel like theyre getting exposure to free market economics, which they havent done since graduating in 2008. One of the biggest questions is whether they show up and turn out to vote. That was a big question in the brexit vote as well. The older crowd showed up much more in force. Absolutely right. Voting out than the younger crowd, which wanted to vote in. Totally different dynamic here, not on turnout but what they want for the future. The expectations on if turnout is going to be a factor leading into this is similar to what they were before brexit and after brexit turnout, 2015 general election, 65 . 73 in brexit vote. A massive swing in turnout. That favored the wild card expectation. Thats getting the Bernie Sanders supporters that are young, millennials to vote, thats the Hillary Clinton task. Stay tuned, youre watching Worldwide Exchange on cnbc. Futures down about 8 . How can good paying jobs disappear . Its what the National Debt could do to our economy. If we dont solve our debt problem 19 trillion and growing money for programs like education will shrink. In just 8 years, interest on the debt will be our Third Largest federal program.

Whats team spirit worth . cheers whats it worth to talk to your mom . Whats the value of a walk in the woods . The value of capital is to create, not just wealth, but things that matter. Morgan stanley sprint . Im hearing good things about the network. All the networks are great now. Were talking within a 1 difference in reliability of each other. And, sprint saves you 50 on most Current National carrier rates. Save money on your phone bill, invest it in your small business. Wouldnt you love more customers .

Dont let a 1 difference cost you twice as much. Whoooo for people with hearing loss, visit sprintrelay. Com. There is just a dearth of aggregate demand. Theres austerity in europe, dysfunctional government in the u. S. Were not getting the fiscal spending we need to jump start things. Central banks got rates down to zero. Theres not much more they can do. Negative rates have unintended consequences as we have been seeing. Until you get something jump started which has to be Government Spending, we will be in the environment of low growth, low interest rates. That was York Capital Management founder jamie dinan on the half time report yesterday. Joining us now to discuss markets, chanhans olsen. A dearth of aggregate demand is mr. Dinans phrase. Do you agree . That was a bearish outlook on the economy. I would have a different view. If you look around the globe, through the lens of purchasing manager indices, you are seeing a picture of growth throughout the world. Perhaps the weakest link is japan. Even there trends are pushing higher. I dont see the i understand the low growth argument, but i dont think that it is abnormally low for sure. We were talking at the top of the hour about how were in this pattern now, one step forward, one step back when it comes to the stock market. Im looking at the best performing sectors for the week. Utilities, healthcare, that doesnt give you a good snapshot of the leadership or the direction the market is going in. Weve had 47 of companies report. Those that have reported have reported fairly good earnings, overall the expectations for q3 would be an earnings drop of 1. 8 at this juncture. Which is an improvement for where it was at the beginning of the quarter. That often happens. I think it will come in, when we look at if we hit anything down 1. 8 or better, that will be good. It will be put pressure on q4 if we have any Earnings Growth this year. Thats why the market will be range bound from now through the end of the year. Well bounce around the range that weve been in probably since the end of august. Is that an encouraging sign . A positive to say that the fact that were not seeing markets fall is encouraging given that bond yields are ticking up . Rate hike expectations are 66 for december . Is that a positive . I think so. The envelope of margin of safety were operating in is getting thinner. The reality that eventually the Federal Reserve and other central bank also have to change their approach to Monetary Policy will dawn on the market. Theyll be forced to do something, and that upset will be the source of the volatility that we talked about in the past. That is for another day. Its not even clear to me that theyll raise in december. I know the expectations are that they will. But if past is prologue, you get closer, you get a weak data point or two. Markets get worried about a rate increase, the central bank backs away. Im not sure that wont happen this time. I dont think a rate increase in december is bad. Should they raise .
