Welcome to squawk alley for your wednesday morning im Carl Quintanilla with julia bore steen, mike san tolely with us for the hour dow is lagging down 60 jackson hole tomorrow, of course, were watching hurricane laura, the retailers but mike, crm, continues to astound. We thought 20 gain was impressive its now at session highs of 27 today alone on what bloomberg called the best revenue surprise in a decade. Yeah. Its pretty remarkable obviously the results themselves are emboldening people to say that this was as expensive as the stock has always looked undervalued or misvalued or didnt appreciate the durability of what theyre doing on the market share side of things for the longterm. What is interesting, too, if you look at it compared to some of the other software bell weathers over the last couple years, as big as todays move is, its kind of a catchup if you look at how microsoft and adobe in particular their anointing crm into that class inpenetrable areas that seem like theyre goi
Singapore also in the red. Currency markets certainly, we have the sea and why in the frame at the moment. This is as we got the story today about beijing crossing gains in the yuan as it seeks to cheapen exports and bolster weak spending. That is a theory being compounded, saying a stronger yuan is ideal for beijing at a time when president xi is pushing for a more selfreliant economy. That is where we are with the currency markets.
