You probably know has experienced an unexpected dip of late. One issue sure to come up is the uk referendum later this week whether that country should leave the European Union. That vote happens thursday, ending a Bitter Campaign between the leave and the remain camps. But today u. S. Investors voted to stay in stocks, that is. The Dow Jones Industrial average rose 129 points to 17,804. Nasdaq added 36. The s p 500 was up 12. Bob pisani has more. Reporter its going to be a busy week capped off by the brexit vote in the uk. Brexit has traders confused. Its gotten more xlakted than stay in or out of the European Union . Markets seemed to move toward the idea the uk would exit the European Union and stocks were down. The greatest surprise then would have been if the vote was to stay in the eu, markets would have rallied. Thats reversed, the market has rallied on the belief is uk is likely to remain in the eu and its likely at least part of the rally we had if the uk had stayed in the European Union had happened today. Now the risk is to the downside, the greatest market move will come if there is a vote to leave. The markets gyrated so much traders arent sure how much the market might move if there is a vote to stay in or get out. Fed chair janet yellen will be testifying on capitol hill the next two days. Investors will be looking for any major clues about the pace of future rate hikes and whether if briton votes to leave the union too affect the plan to raise rates later this year. With a few days do go before britains vote on the future of the uk polls show deep divisions. Wilford frost reports from london. Reporter markets around the world have rallied as fears that britain might vote to leave the European Union this thursday have eased. The Financial Times poll before the weekend gave a 5point lead to the leave camp, that poll now at 44 for both sides. The main reason for the shift is a growing sense of unity amongst those who wish to vote remain. That follows the tragic shooting of lawmaker jo cox last week who backed the remain camp. It comes at the same time as there is disunity in the leave camp. Nigel ferage, leader of the uq independents party, releasing a particularly divisive poster on immigration. The market certainly responding to those polls, however, i spoke to one political consultant and asked him whether the move in the polls this weekend have been exaggerated. I do think its exaggerated, i do. I think there are millions of people still making their minds up. People say the bookies always get it right. They dont. Either way, with three days before britons go to the polls, markets are dancing the tune of the latest brexit news float. The worlds biggest automaker supports britain remaining in the eu. Toyota warns a leave vote may lead to levies of as much as 10 on the cars it builds in the uk. That would make the cars more expensive and potentially hurt sales. The automaker exports almost 90 of the vehicles it builds in the uk. So how by all of this big news from this week from the vote to europe to Janet Yellens congressional testimony impact the Financial Markets . Michael farr, president of the Money Management firm far, miller and washington, joins us now. Good to talk to you. Hi, sharon. There is so much concern over brexit. First Janet Yellens testimony and what were going to hear there. Likely she is going to talk about what she does all the time, economic uncertainty, and that is heightened with this brexit referendum vote coming up. What do you think will be most important to hear from her as she heads to capitol hill . Certainly, share, tomorrow shes going to talk about her data dependency. I think shes probably going to do her very best not to give any clue as to direction. But it seems to me that a rate hike certainly before the election is clearly off the table. And i think this is brexit, just another excuse, and its starting to drive me crazy. Im sick of excuse after excuse. The fed has been there with money and easing Monetary Policy and keeping rates artificially low for seven years. Theyve got to get out of the way. Its time for them to go. Theyll never run out of excuses. You think theyre afraid of their shadow, i guess, would be my way of putting it. Lets talk about where you see stock prices right now. But tyler, it seems that theyre not only afraid of their shadow, it seems theyve taken on the weight of economic and political stability around the world. Thats not our job and the always going to be another greece, theres always going to be another brexit. Stick to our Monetary Policy, theres plenty of cash out there, and rates are very low. Last fall in september when you and i were together china worries froze them in place. Youve got rates which ultimately at some point are going to start to rise. A lot of the cost cuts that companies could make have already been taken. Profit margins are coming down. Wages are going up. Prices are pretty close to reco horde ryes. That doesnt argue for much more room to move up for stocks. Well, it doesnt argue for much room or room to move up for stocks but west with everything you mentioned, low rates and markets near alltime highs, the employment rate dropping, however you want to measure it, our Economic Data are not bad and therefore the fed should choose this as an excuse i think to get out of the way. But stocks are near alltime highs. As the old rule is to buy low and sell high, this aint low. So you need to be really cautious about the dollars that you commit. Youve got to understand balance sheets. Because sooner or later, when the fed gets out of the way, were going to return to a real market economy where buyers pay what theyre willing to pay and sellers will accept a price, then youre going to need to know that youve got value. What do you see as a buy right now . Youre interested in defensive names . I like defensie ivive names. I like some of the names that havent really been in favor. I think you have to take a look at some of the banks at sort of one times 1. 1 times book was a call i made on your show a month or two ago, its worked out very well, i think that continues to work. Look at some of the farm suit calls. Then a name ive been liking recently is ross stores. Thats one that ive been interested in nibbling away at. I own it personally, my firm owns it. Its not a recommendation to buy or sell but some very interesting things out there if you can get them for the right price. All right. Michael, got to leave it there. Good to see you as always. Nice to see you. Michael farr in washington with farr, miller and washington. To u. S. Politics now. A new survey shows a large portion of the voting public remains undecided on the president ial election. Steve liesman has the details. A typical poll headline would be this. The cnbc all America Economic survey shows clinton freeds trump by 5 points, 45 to 35. The bigger story could be this, 25 of the public says theyre undecided, including 14 who say they would vote for neither candidate. Such a big group of uncommitted voters is the result, pollsters say, of a contest between two of the most unliked contenders in president ial history. These candidates are very flawed. And this high number of people that are undecided is a hallmark of a election where we have two candidates with very high unfavorable ratings. Reporter the poll of 801 americans around the nation had a margin of error of 3. 5 . It found clinton holds leads on who is best for health care, trade, immigration, and the lower and middle classes. Trump leads on who would be best for stocks, regulating wall street and banks, dealing with the budget deficit, large companies, and the wealthy. Pollsters suggest the survey could understate clintons strength. For example, clinton and trump are tied on the issue of whos best for the economy and dealing with terrorism. An area where republicans typically enjoy strong doubledigit support. And a lae part of the undecided are sanders supporters who should eventually break for clinton. We have two conventions to go through. And two campaigns and two Major National parties that are going to do everything they can to get voters out the door. You can be sure the dnc and the Hillary Clinton campaign are going to target those Bernie Sanders supporters very, very hard in the coming months. Reporter other findings, survey shows 62 of the public, including 41 of republicans, think trump should release his tax returns. And 44 say a Trump Presidency would make americas standing in the world not just worse, but a lot worse. Thats more than double the results for cl for nightly Business Report, im stev continues to be a fascinating political season. John harwood joins us to discuss it all. How unusual is it to have such a large number of uncommitted voters at this point in the cycle . As we heard from michael roberts, our pollster for the nbc wall street journal and the cnbc survey as well, when you have candidates who are as unpopular as Hillary Clinton and donald trump, youre going to have people who are at sea a little bit about how theyre going to come down. We do need to note that as steve did in the piece, Hillary Clinton leads by 5 points in that survey. She leads by similar margins or slightly more in others. So clinton clearly has the upper hand. But shes battling the same negatives that donald trump is. Its just that trumps are higher right now. Donald trump today fired his campaign manager, corey lewandowski. Why, john, and did it have anything to do with concerns over fundraising . It had to do with concerns over fundraising, also had to do with those poll ratings that we just talked about. Corey lewandowski is somebody who had not run a National Campaign before. You have to give him credit for guiding trump to the republican nomination. But the general election is an entirely different ball game. Weve seen trump going backwards in recent weeks and donald trump had brought on Paul Manafort as an experienced republican consultant to try to guide the general election. He clashed with corey lewandowski, one of them had to go and it was lewandowski. What about reports over the weekend that apple has decided not to help fund the republican conventi . In some ways its not surprising because donald trump has been critical of apple during the campaign. But it is notable for a giant American Corporation to not try to assist both sides in the way that big corporations tend to do. It shows that when you have a candidate as controversial as donald trump, youre going to see some big corporate players step away. Weve seen other corporations say theyre going to donate less than they have in the past. Maybe not tying it explicitly to trump but thats one thing to watch, Republican Fund raising. Hillary clinton has a large fundraising apparatus. Donald trump has sort of done it with publicity, with media interviews, some of his own money. Hes going to have to scale up bigtime to fund not only the convention but the fall ca. Well be watching very carefully. John harwood in washington still ahead, striking a deal.

In an interview the head of the Worlds Largest asset manager said returns from the typical retirement portfolio likely wont be as high as they once were. I think it would be wrong of you to expect anything beyond 4 or 5 at this time. If youre putting money to work today, you should be savings without objective. If youre in more you can mitigate that.

Deer ra bosa for nightly Business Report in san francisco. Some employers are offering more perks. Others may be scaling back. According to a new survey by the society for Human Resource management, employers are cutting down on certain wellness programs. The report found perks that were once considered hot like onsite flu shots and Health Coaching have declined over the past year. So whats changed and what does it mean for other Workplace Wellness benefits . The director of survey programs at the society for Human Resource management, of course. What did your study show exactly . What kinds of programs are getting scaled back . Well, we have seen an increase in we had been seeing an increase in wellness benefits over the last five years. This year we did start to see a decrease, a decline, in certain types of wellness programs. And these are probably programs that were underutilized and perhaps didnt have a large return on investment for employers. And so we did see a decrease in health and lifestyle coaching, as well as a decrease in areas that would also have a more individual type of program, for instance, chronic disease prevention. And so that individual focus and attention, those types of programs we saw a decrease in. A lot of folks have said for many years, i think, at least anecdotally in the workplace, show me the money. Rather than have this perk, id like to have a bonus, id like to have a little bit of extra money in my paycheck. Are we seeing more employers move that direction to giving monetary bonuses . We are actually seeing more signon bonuses for executives and nonexecutives. Then weve also seen an increase in stock bonuses over the last year. And so this does indicate that organizations are using bonuses as a way to reward employees and to recruit their top candidates. Are those bonuses tied to wellness goals . Or recruitment bonuses, as opposed to being paid 500 if you join a stop Smoking Program at work and you stop smoking, or lose 30 pounds, or whatever . Well, both. On one hand, we are seeing monetary bonuses for select areas related to performance. In terms of wellness that is one area we did see an increase as well. Individuals that completed certain wellness types of programs were awarded with bonuses. For instance, if you completed a tenweek boot camp, at the end of it you would get a 100 bonus or 500 bonus. Whats your favorite benefit at work, quickly . My favorite favorite benefit of work is i love flexibility. Thats an area that we saw an increase in as well. Especially over the last 20 years.
