Gap, set to speak again and the fate of a preelection aid package could come by the end of today. And the race for a cure, moderna saying its experimental covid19 vaccine could be ready for emergency use in december. Carl jim, just crossing the wires now, doj has filed the suit against alphabets google, and heard you talking to becky a moment ago, reiterating what you said for a long time, this lawsuit essentially is a strange kind of value creator. Yeah, look, i mean, arguably theyre saying there are ties to exclusionary business deals that google has done. Look, google has opened the books time and again to the government it is not their first rodeo. They have understood this. If theyre trying to break up google, all theyre trying to do is exactly what ive been hoping for, which is that to bring out the value in google, you have to break it up. So if the department of justice is going that route, theyre a great investment banker. I joke with david, there is situations where the sum o
Barbara duran from bd8 capital markets. Thank you for joining us today weve got a lot of forces at play again another kind of side waist market, but some Risk Appetite if you look at whats moving higher today i agree with that i think that the action has been very constructive. And i think whats going on is youve seen the earnings expectations come down you had just a little sample last week, but majority of Companies Beat earnings and the most important thing, i think, was jpmorgan and American Express talking about the strength of the consumer in loans and spending and thats really the underpinning to the economy. And so we also know the fed, they have a meeting coming up. Im not expecting them to cut rates, but they have made it clear they stand ready and i think that forms an underpinning for the market. And not to mention china we have a little truce there i think we were all expecting some more down babeat commentar from what weve heard so far but so far, its been okay maybe rest
You, Procter Gamble Ceo David Taylor will be here to weigh in on what was the best quarterly organic Revenue Growth in years. Joining us now for the hour, though, charlie baa brinskoy from aerial investments. Industrials are an interesting standout today given lowered expectations for u. S. china trade hopes. What is that about low expectations. We had some people report and they were better than peoples fears. We had big companies, the big maker of drilling rigs people were worried about that, they beat, and the stock was up almost 15 Zebra Technologies makes scanners, and that business was better than expected, the stock up 15 . Low expectations, you think, which are easy to beat on earnings, but not on the fed you think maybe only able to cut in the shortterm . Yeah, that is the consensus prediction i happen to agree with it, which is one cut, 25 basis points. I dont think theyll pull a baitandswitch. I think they would not want to mislead the market i think that will happen, but it
In that is the big question with the average. S p climbing. Its not an easy one to answer. I think holy cow. What the heck are we doing up here however, it is just an inflection. I think there could be much more upside. I dont want you to leave thinking otherwise. I would start with washington. A few months ago it sounded inconceivable that we can get tax reform. Republicans in congress seemed to be in total disarray. Its not like that campaign on slashing Corporate Taxes. We interview legislators and they have a plan to raise revenues in order to avoid busting the budget. Remember the border tax thing . They were reluctant to cut Corporate Tax rate because it would leave a huge hole. There was no way any democrats were going to get on board. It seemed like a colossal waste of time. Somehow perhaps because of the president s endless harping, perhaps because they realize they can suffer hideous losses, the gop was able to cobble together a plan that is incredibly pro business plus the R
Activity expanded at a rate of 3. 2 . Although the number wasnt as strong as many expected or as had hoped, Consumer Spending which makes up the majority of the Economic Activity was strong. But even though the report was slightly below expectations Steve Liesman tells us why it may be enough to seal the deal for a possible rate hike in september. Reporter the government saying today there was more growth than it first reported in the First Quarter and less growth than the market expected in the second leading to a bit stronger growth in the first half overall. First quarter gdp revised up to 0. 6 was originally reported to be negative. The Second Quarter came in at 2. 3 for a decent but unspectacular bounceback. And there was more inflation than initially forecasted something that the Federal Reserve has been seeking. Many say the data is sufficient to seal the deal for september rate hike from the fed.
