I will tell you about some of the stocks benefiting from all of this. Well revisit iposs that were launched in great fanfare last week. How they are holding up today. Well be monitoring what make as bear Market Correction as you know. Many market averages themselves are at or close to corrections from highs. Some of them reached a little more than a few weeks ago. So as stuart was pointing out some perspective is in order here. A lot of this has to do with, well a lot of things. Not only renewed spike in cases were seeing in the likes of the United Kingdom and france. In fact the uk theyre revisiting another possibility of another lockdown. That is what is going on in israel, they are in their second lockdown and theyre not very happy about it. Then we have cases here. Four states in the United States that have 15,000 or more deaths recorded. California joining the likes of new york and new jersey and texas. So were monitoring that. But the numbers here are actually stablizing even as
Well get into that as well. Deirdre bolton has all the fast moving developments from the big board. Neil what a week, what a week indeed. This is the worst week for the dow weve seen since 2018. Just the volatility alone today. As we can see down 470 points. We were down more than 900 points earlier. I want to highlight quickly some of the stocks that are limiting the losses on the dow. You have two pharmaceuticals, not a huge surprise in the backdrop of these fears about the coronavirus spreading and one staple which also does sell face masks. Merck and pfizer, we know merck has had a long history of developing vaccines. So you do have the stock moving higher limiting some of the losses. Pfizer as well, and 3m which does make the face masks. If you look at some drags on the average, part. Reason today, why were seeing so much weight you have apple, microsoft, two Huge Tech Companies that both have exposure to china. Apple in 2019 got 17 of revenue from china, microsoft about 10 . Both
Retaliation. If they retaliate, talk sanctions against iraq. Gold, still in and out of a sevenyear high. A lot lower than it had been. Oil barely positive. For a while, brent, that was well over 70 a barrel. But it is not translating to big gains here. Then we have treasury yield actually backing up a little bit after it was, getting lower and lower on sort of a flight to quality, that doesnt seem necessary. The dow as i indicated down about 63 points. We had been down close to 300 points. What is remarkable about all of this, folks, sometimes we see things in the prism of the financial community. I like what it shows people who bet with their own money think of what this is going. Theyre not always prescient and right. Theyre far from accurate period. In the middle of this moment, what some are calling potential world war 3 00, sort of a muted, sort of a shrugged shoulder reaction. Why is that . Latest from blake burman at the white house. Hay. Hey, blake. Reporter over here at the wh
Long time before it recovered september highs. How long . Try about 25 years. In other words, the highs we reached that year, at the peek of that bull market, september third, 1929, were not realized again until november 23rd 1954. You hear about catalysts and Hedge Fund Managers at time, were not called Hedge Fund Managers. Were worried about the giddiness building. It was too far, too fast a great comeuppance. Herbert hoover who was providing over roaring market. He came into office in 1928. Things were swimmingly two years later. He would not survive in the next election. Someone who was considered laughable shot rising to the white house, you might remember the name. Franklin roosevelt, Big Government spending liberal, who many said who would have no chance taking 1600 pennsylvania avenue in the middle of a financial crisis. Reminders that unexpected developments can change outcome of elections. We saw that in 2018, john mccain, fellow named barack obama were deadeven until the met
The 70s that wiped 2 3 of the value of equities. That was then. Is it now . It is hard to say but early indications no. Whats remarkable here my friends, as we look at these numbers how tame they are, considering what is going on. If this were to have occurred back in the 70s and the Worlds Biggest Oil producer which saudi arabia was at time, so much of its oil sidelined we would be in deep you know what. So far does not appear to be the case. Price Futures Group Senior Analyst phil flynn at the cme. Phil, it is remarkable, you know . It really is and you really got to credit the u. S. Energy industry, donald trump and his Energy Policies allowing u. S. Energy producers to do what they do best, that is producing energy. It raises concerns when you listen to the democratic president ial candidates and their Energy Policies what a different story this might have been if we had a democratic president right now. It could have done a lot more damage to the u. S. Economy because these are ca
