scarlet: it is worth noting as well that volume has been picking up as well. 33% higher than the 20 day average for the dow and s&p. we have investors in china ready to take off for the lunar new year holiday golden week. we have earnings coming in. intel reporting results. half billiona dollars. analysts were looking for 72.2 billion. enough to to be good lift the stock in after-hours trade. joe: the market liking this one. scarlet: let's check in with our reporters who have been monitoring different stories. abigail, what are you keeping your eye on? abigail: the dow transports. this area of the market is sensitive to the virus scare bad,dering that if it got it could clamp down on transportation. we have transports down 1.2%. something i would like to point out, earlier today on the selloff this morning, the dow transports down more than 12%. the day. 1% up on investors looking past. a lot of it has to do with airlines in the u.s. those stocks are higher, having nothing to do with the virus scare. this chart suggests we may want to watch the dow transports. the s&p are looking at 500. at one point last week, the dow transports up 3.7 on the year, leading the s&p 500 cared this week, down. at one point, we have the dow transports negative on the year. at this point, catching up to the s&p 500. it could be a bearish tell around market reaction to the coronavirus. light: they are down about 6% over the past four sessions. that brought the night banks from to the lowest since october at eight dollars 56 a gallon. demands the supply and aspect of the story. gasoline supplies are at a record. in the meantime, a four-week average demand is the lowest for three years. the question is, what does this mean for retail and consumer discretionary stocks? littlehoppers have a left over after they fill their tank. this green portion shows that gasoline prices and consumer discretionary and retail stock have a positive correlation. it is a weak correlation. asshows it is not as simple lower gas prices equating higher retailer and consumer discretionary stocks. taylor: i am taking a look at shares of intel. coming out with earnings stock rising 6%. looks like it is across the board. fourth quarter revenue coming in at 22 the lien dollars. bottom line coming in at 152. the forward guidance forced quarter revenue also a broad beat. at $19 billion versus estimates of 17.2. bottom line coming in at 130. the 2020 revenue guidance coming in better than expected at 73 and a half billion dollars. they are raising their dividend by 5%. share fromto $.33 a the last dividend, which was 31 and a half. as we shift through these numbers, i want to take a look at a chart we are showing inside the terminal. we knew we were dealing with supply shortages. intel trying to stave off end. -- andy. rising to 38. rising just about 70 times. not the typical volatility we see for the stock. very broad across the board. taylor and the markets team. still with us is katie and alisha. we see those intel earnings after the bow. chips have been on an incredible run. it looks like the companies are delivering even with the incredible optimism. what does that tell you about the market? alicia: the message is that the bottom was put in during this third quarter. the cyclical growth bottomed out sometime in the third quarter. it drives with what we have been seeing in the market. it kept on going. it really fits with the characteristics of what we are seeing in markets. today is a strange day because it has defensive characteristics but also risk on characteristics. wellave the semi's doing and the transports doing well. the cyclical story remains in tact because the companies are telling you that. but, the risks remain out there. a yields stay low and you get further flattening, the banks are going to struggle. scarlet: we see this is a liquidity driven economy. katie, when you look at the overall impact of monetary policy, incredible easy monetary policy we have, what do you think of christine lagarde aching a clear the ecb is going to reassess the whole strategy? this is going to be a month-long process. what does it mean for how people think about inflation in the eurozone? katie: when i was talking to people today about the comments, they kind of fell flat for the people i talked to. they are hoping for a lot more details. combined with her saying she was not as optimistic as she hoped. that is why you saw the euros fall today. it is really surprising because she did make those inflation comments. there was some moderate increase in inflation. joe: talk to us about this seeming one wayness we are seeing in the bond market. we are seeing rates go down significantly, especially if the virus were to worsen or if the economy were to weaken. it is hard to see what would cause rates to go up given the expectation it would take a lot for the fed to do anything. alicia: the surprise would be that growth is better than expected. when you think about it going into the second and third quarter, that is where you're going to get the benefit of the 75 basis point and cuts in the u.s. housing isd earlier, coming back. we have not seen the full effect of housing either on the wealthy effect on consumption or construction or in production. i think that is ahead of us. i expect there is a surprise coming out of the u.s. early to mid summer that would get yields up. it is clear there is a wait sitting on -- there is a weight sitting on securities. scarlet: i does when it's a get your thoughts on one, we got from davos. bob prins went so far to see we have seen the end of the boom bust cycle. alicia: somewhat sympathy because when you take inflation out of the picture, take central banks out of the role of squashing recovery. we have this low and slow going on. low growth. low rate. there is no need to kill it. i am not willing to say the business cycle is dead, i just think the cycle can go on longer than in previous times. the length of the cycles have coincided with inflation going down. news assetoomberg reporter katie gray feld -- katie greifeld. that does it for the closing bell. what'd you miss is up next.

limiting who can go. shery: getting praise from the who. the director general saying china has been very cooperative and transparent. we have seen the restrictions on wuhan city. in 2018, it was surveyed by the as the happiest city. we have seen the corentin take place in the wee hours of thursday morning. that did not go into effect until 10:00 a.m. a lot of people were rushing for the exit. social media in china criticizing this could be too late because a lot of the students and migrant workers -- wuhan city has a lot of workers in the auto and manufacturing industry. scarlet: they had already left town and a lot of people were trying to flee anyway. the concern is it could last a lot longer than for the next couple of days. that would put a dent in china's economy as alicia levine was telling us, seems to have stabilized. 6%ry: we are talking about economic growth for the full year of 2019, 16.2%. we have seen surprisingly good economic data coming out of china. given the structural shift, we have had a smaller services sector saying the impact could be better. it is the difference in time between the infection and the detection of the disease. we are talking about 584 cases being reported to the who. have mentioning that we potential cases in hong kong. they. have not been confirmed the who saying there have been cases confirmed in japan, singapore, thailand, the u.s. and vietnam. at least 17 people dead. scarlet: thank you for the update. do not miss shery on daybreak australia. we want to bring in jennifer nuzzo. she is a senior scholar at the johns hopkins center for health security. dr. nuzzo, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. the who opted against calling the virus a public health concern. it is a good or bad consent -- good or bad sign? dark i think there are still a number of important questions that have to be answered regarding the situation. the key for me and other public health folks is how transmissible is the virus and more importantly, how serious are the illnesses that the fire seems to produce? until we get a better handle on these questions, it will be hard to gauge what the global risk from the virus is. ho, setting aside the w what do see in response from is very dramatic travel restrictions in multiple cities. how do you compare their response versus how china dealt with sars? i think we have to hold separate what china has recently done and what they have done with reporting the outbreak to the who. sequencing it, publishing the sequence for everyone to see you. praisel hear many people china for being transparent and sharing information. we also know that there has been international cooperation in terms of sharing information. positive signs. the recent developments in terms of the quarantines and shutting down mass transit are deeply worrisome. this idea we may be forcing people to leave where we think the epicenter is, that to me is very worrisome. if this virus is highly transmissible and deadly, the drivingwant to see is cases underground where public health authorities cannot find them. scarlet: there are a lot of concerns that chinese authorities are underreporting the amount of people affected. i know there is a lot of praise for how they are handling things. perhaps a better comparison is how china dealt with the outbreak of african swine flu. there was criticism that they were not as transparent as they needed to be. given their track record, are these concerns that there is an under reporting justified? dr. nuzzo: i have not seen any evidence to suggest there is a deliberate underreporting. any time a new outbreak occurs, it is difficult to get a handle on how many people are infected. you're pretty much relying on initially, finding sick people who turn up in hospitals. it may be the case that we learn the outbreak is larger than we anticipated, and that is not something i would fault china for. i will say it is in every country's best interest to be as transparent as possible regarding the number of cases because once people lose global confidence, though only exacerbate the harm that comes to these countries. we will only see an increase in travel and trade restrictions, which would only amplify the toll for that country. if there is a tendency anyway to be not transparent, that would come back to harm a country. you have seenwhat regarding the transmissibility and the virus and the mortality of it, is it too early to get a handle of what it is and its effects, or do you have some sense of the nature of it spread? dr. nuzzo: it is somewhat too early. one of the things i look at is what the severity is more so than the transmissibility. it is important for people to realize although the -- although this is a new virus, these viruses are circulating all the time around the globe. what is potentially arming -- potentially alarming is the possibility this could be more severe. .eople are looking to sars it is estimated that 10% of the known cases died. i am somewhat reassured by the report of debts that they are largely occurring among people we know to be at risk of death from infection. people who are elderly and otherwise medically impaired and have other underlying medical conditions that could make them more likely to suffer a severe outcome from a respiratory infection. if those data change and we start seeing more young previously healthy individuals develop severe illness and i, that would be very worrisome. nuzzo, seniorfer scholar at the johns hopkins center for health security. from new york, this is

major public celebrations and gatherings in beijing during the lunar new year holiday. fact that i am not declaring today should not be taken as a sign that the who does not think the situation is serious or that we are not taking it seriously. nothing could be further from the truth. the who is following this outbreak every minute of every day. mark: the steps taken by china to shut down

their biggest shareholders. this adds to growing scrutiny of the power of giant index funds. alz.s bring in martin schm he is the co-author of one of the seminal papers on the effect of index ownership on competition. in your view, what is the strongest evidence that increased cross ownership of firms that we see a lot of changes corporate behavior? martin: at this point, we have several studies, dozens of show behavior changes when common ownership increases including product market outcomes. many other studies have been done in many industries. we have seen half a dozen studies. --nging intervention changing innovation efforts. there is a whole host at this point. scarlet: the airline industry for instance is particularly egregious. there has been research done on this. is this something you see across industries? study ofhe airline showni am a co-author has price increases due to common ownership. is similare seen results in u.s. banks. others have seen other industries as i mentioned. common ownership exists throughout the economy. this is why there is limited evidence in other as it -- in other industries. joe: talk to us about the mechanism. we can see there is evidence of correlation -- if all these companies have the same set of shareholders and you see this change in behavior. what is the mechanism in which this occurs? why kill each other with price wars when we are not even in competition? martin: exactly. the question you're asking is one the sec might be after. we have the evidence that coownership has been accumulating over decades. the evidence on how it happens is starting to emerge. --t we know is that competitors are more commonly known. they still have incentives to act in their interest. the common owners have a voting record. that can lead to -- we know funds are more likely to sumsfor a merger if the have shares in the target, which can compensate them. most importantly perhaps, we know that doing nothing -- not pushing to compete against each other can outweigh competition. to face one particular firm's value in isolation. think of richard branson at virgin america. think of elon musk of tesla. --tead of whohave an asset manager knows as much about your firm as your rival. you to have more market share for arrival. theg nothing is one of potential mechanisms. what we have only anecdotal evidence for is to the extent of firms could hold as an additional mechanism to harm competition. to learnthe fdc wants more about the communications between companies and their biggest shareholders. our customers are worried about the impact on index providers. likeit include companies berkshire hathaway that invest across industries or activist investors? martin: i have to say i have not familiar with the details of the policy. i have not seen anything that would target index funds or the big asset managers. berkshire hathaway has been the largest common owner of u.s. airlines for the last few years. this is not a problem limited to the index providers. joe: like everyone else, i read the work of matt levine who has been writing about your work and this question for a lot longer than authorities have been paying attention to it. there is a question in his newsletter today. ceo's, maybe they have common ownership, they have to make these decisions. they tend to overrate the shares of their own company. override whenhat they are making a corporate decision, the fact that a bunch of people own blackrock index fund the echo -- index fund? have copa.do what you see is in the commonly owned firms, ceos get much less rewarded for their own performance and their pay is less performance centered. the point is not so much that ceos have the right level of compensation, but are these even flatter in more commonly owned firms. he also correctly points out that in the context of mergers, involvement could increase social welfare. by facilitating efficient and adjusting mergers, that would not have happened without common ownership because the shareholders could liquidate evaluation. that is not necessarily a bad thing. scarlet: great contact. alz of the university of oxford joining us by phone. os.ng to head back to dav we went through a whole process of -- with the 232 investigation. the president has digested that. we have a perfect justification to put tariffs on if we wish to. the president had decided it was better to negotiate. we have had very constructive negotiations with the german car manufacturers, with the koreans and the japanese. so far, we have not felt a need to do it, but if people do silly things, if they do protectionist and discriminatory things like the polar one of the digital service tax, we are going to respond. jonathan: let's talk about the investigation. from what i am hearing, the outcome of the investigation was that it is a national security risk. is that true? >> the president so announced. yes. jonathan: are is the followthrough? people look at the self-imposed deadline and say, it has expired. the administration cannot use section 232 anymore because that has expired. >> they simply do not understand section 232. what was needed in november was for the president to decide on a path full it. he decided the path forward was to negotiate as long as that was bearing fruit rather than immediately put in something else. jonathan: your interpretation of the legal issues is section 232 still applies even though the deadline has come and gone. >> this is an imaginary deadline. the deadline was that he would take a decision. he took a decision. jonathan: let's talk about what would need to happen to stop the tariffs. thehings stand currently, tariff forecast coming out of the united states from europe -- from the united states to europe is 10%. from europe to the united states is to and a half. there are some big trump tariffs. what would you like to see from the europeans in the coming months? >> first of all, the digital service thing clearly is meant to be discriminatory. there are very few companies in the whole world other than the american companies that fit that definition. the clear intent was to be discriminatory. we have other laws that also againsts to retaliate discriminatory behavior. if there is discriminatory behavior, we will fight back. forget anything else. jonathan: if the french go through with this, is that a red line for this administration? wilbur: that is up for the president to decide at the time. it defends what else is going on. it is clear this is a protectionist and discriminatory proposal that was made. joe: that was u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross. quick breaking news, jamie dimon had a good 2019 according to headlines crossing now. he earned $31.5 million.

consensus? in columbia, one out of four people older than 65 years have access to a pension if we do not close that social cap, it is going to turn into long-term poverty. we have to solve this in a way that is sustainable. francine: will we see a pension bill in 2020? >> between the government, the workers in the private sector, we have to agree on a mechanism that can ensure or people in columbia have access to a pension. the excess by pension system is the principle of equality. we will continue to search for that. francine: what are the chances of this agreement coming together? > i think this is an important chance because this is for the good of the nation. allowinge against people to have access to a pension? we have 22 million people working in columbia. only 8 million people are contributing to the pension and social security system. if we continue like that, it is going to generate more in melody toward the future. to expand the basis of people who have access to a pension is one of the things that are needed most in columbia. francine: in book a hotel, -- how much investment do you get to -- do you hope to get from china? >> it was a public bidding. when people
