Peter navarro meant to say on fox last night. There was a little confusion. I think that he was pretty definitive to say it was dead, the president was pretty definitive in saying the trade deal is on who would ever think that this would happen, good news out of europe, pmis are strong, they are inflating things in their economy like we are. I also think there might have been a short squeeze those of us who watched when navarro said what he said the market plummeted and i think overnight traders said its going to open down badly im going to get short and they got whipsawed because you didnt think navarro could be reversed as quickly as he was given the fact he is a close confidant of the president. Almost exactly what art cashin is saying this morning. Whipsaw resulted in a good deal of short covering. He says the bulls may now reassert control he says they need to take the dow up by more than 450. The bulls are when you watch the market ahead of time you see so many stocks going up fo
With looking at you, sorkin you are on a huge, huge screen you havent seen that. No one has a tv set. How big is that thing . 108 can you get one of these. A little too close. Back it up a little. I almost said this morning, futures down this morning after yesterdays yesterdays 300point gain so, okay they are down today. How do you sell this it was weird yesterday, wasnt it all morning long virus and all of this. End of the day, i looked it up up 300 i dont know look, the problem is that these swings we are seeing, weve all become kind of unnerved to it that was only after a loss from the day before we are looking at these up and down swings. The dow right now is still down for the week the nasdaq is indicated up for the week well continue to watch that looking at u. S. Equity futures the dow was up 300 points and the s p up 33. Nasdaq up 107 points also up about 1. 7 this morning, nasdaq is hanging in there up about 6 points and s p is off just over 3. 5 points. Yesterday, the 10year
And it would obviously be fairly strong gains the week after the weakness we saw in the Broader Markets last week. Not a lot of individual news this morning, jim. But always curious as to what caught your attention. Oil at 40 makes people feel, wait a second, maybe the economy is not so bad. Maybe thats the v. We have of course an apple price target boost a couple of Companies Reported that were not disastrous thats regarded as being positive and the day traders, they dont stop at one point today, were going to have to talk about them because of a tragic instance that happened. Ive been seeing that in my twitter feed as well i think cnbc has done some reporting on that in terms of robin hood very unfortunate and well talk about that and well talk about your friend who i know you follow closely, but back to the Broader Market and back to something we spent a lot of time talking about over these last few years which is china trade. Bloomberg is reporting that they will accelerate its agr
Squawk alley. As you just heard, stocks are continuing to move higher today although off of the highs of the morning. The s p is up about 0. 6 the nasdaq up about 84 points. On track for the fourth week of gains for the major averaging and today it is that reopening trade back in the drivers seat today. It is it is retail names as well at the same time we dont see a buy fur indication it is a shift to more of a focus on e commerce. Amazon is up 1 . And facebook is up better than that that to me is interesting. Walmart is a stock that has done well prior to things opening up. It is also higher. So there is a mix. I think there is general positivity, larger stocks in general are doing better, but it seems like the market is reacting to not just opening up versus not, but maybe a sense that the economy is starting to find its footing. It is such a great point, john it is names like micro soft, adobe, some of the big cap tech names. So it seems like today, at least, this rally, the breadth
We can get above that 200 day. I have to tell you, once again, what causes a decline its always the banks. Why the banks . Because we cant value we cant value them because we dont know what their future loan losses are going to be. I think that the feds chilling statements made for a tremendous confusion because, remember, weve been skating everybody has been saying how can the market almost bet a its high the answer is because we dont have any data. No real reports that contradict that i didnt like the nike quarter, but people already apologized for that it is the banks and, once again, when i think of the banks an article today about credit cards and how people arent taking the big credit cards with the 400 and 500 fees. David, the credit side continues the buyers jim, that is really interesting to see when we start to get the earnings where the focus of investors is. After the close we get jeffries. Investment banking not overry large but what will be interesting, jim, im sure well
