3:40 pm
the dow was up 160 points, and the nasdaq was up 1%, now down half a percent. let me show you the imap, the map of the sectors of the s&p. it was all green and has now turned already. green oning up this the s&p. it breaks down the index into 10 different sectors, and then shows you if they are down on volume or up on volume in relation to the average of the past 20 days. as you can see, almost every single sector trading weaker volumes that i was over the past 20 days. the same thing yesterday. yesterday light and today even lighter. i want to bring up a chart bloomberg users will know, the chart.
3:41 pm
the laggards and gainers as far as what is going on in the s&p index. myill put the change here -- point is i was going to change over and show you the percentage losers versus the point losers, but i'm having trouble navigating my screen, severing of the tech stocks that are really lacking. apple, facebook, and google are sucking away the most points of any stock out there, with the exception of maybe gilead. apple is a big weight on the s&p. almost 9% of the nasdaq. loses 2%, which is a pretty substantial amount to begin with, it really hit the indexes hard. the same is true of facebook and google. when they lose 2.4%, they hit the index hard. it is tough to put up any kind
3:42 pm
of gain when you see that. i am sure you have been watching all day. a big spike early in the morning and then came down. i am sure if you did progression of analysis, usc they travel close week together. oil up a little bit. don the ecb said we will what we can to boost asset prices because we are terrified of inflation, we had affixed by kent came back down. we recovered a little bit on the day, and that is impressive because the apple is up. and again on a day like this is pretty impressive. y thatllar is the dx is a basket of 16 currencies against the dollar. gaining today. gold falling today because it is priced in dollars. in fact you do see gold futures,

3:46 pm
runner. the board has spoken to a few candidates but it seems jack dorsey is the only real name that seems to be a real option at this point. the huge complicating factor is the fact that he is still the ceo of square and square has filed to go public, and there is no indication he believe square any time soon and the search committee has said they want someone who can make this a full-time job. we still don't know how they will get around that, if in fact he is the front runner for the job. alix: we did see twitter restructured today for the product team. what does that mean and what will he bring? emily: twitter has not been immune to changes at the top. we have seen turnover after turnover in the product division. he is responsible for building up the developer product, which is called fabric.
3:47 pm
he will run the consumer product, which jack dorsey has already said needs a lot of work . that means the current senior vice president for all of product can take a bit of a step back from day to day and work on seeing the big picture and hallowed the different products can work together. last ofthink it is the the changes we are going to see. i think we can do to see if it more shuffling going on at the top. alix: at twitter, irrespective of leadership changes. that would be on the docket as well. emily: right, and i think product will be the primary place we will the change. on the product side they have the supersecret project called project lightning, and the goal is to help service the most influential and important tweets
3:48 pm
more easily whether you are logged in or log out a twitter. it will make it easier for people who do not understand twitter to use. we have not seen what it really looks like. itremains to be seen whether will be that revolutionary or lightning in a bottle so tuesday. a bottlehtning in pretty revolutionary. i get what you are saying in. more on the twitter ceo search coming up. still ahead, investors anxiously awaiting tomorrow's jobs report. the stakes could not be higher. we will tell you what sectors matter most and potential market reaction. ♪

3:52 pm
wherewithal to keep up the pace of spending in the second half of the year. alix: we usually get this awesome note the day before that sense when a job number is above expectation, this is what jobs will do -- stocks will do. what kind of correlation between the jobs report and gold in on jobs>> last year employment data days, the stock markets rose 11 of 12 times. missed estimates, beat estimates, did not matter. it is not uncommon to see this fade the day before were people pull back waiting for it. it is indicative of last year. it was a goldilocks thing where most of the reports were not robust enough to push the rate hikes forward. of thear it is kind
3:53 pm
opposite. five of the seven report so far are the markets falling on the day. to me, it signals people are getting a little bit nervous the closer we get. >> tomorrow could throw a monkey wrench into that because august payrolls tend to be weaker going into the month and tend to be weaker than expectations. 218, normally august comes in 25,000-30,000 below that. givenreates real doubts the developments in the financial markets. alix: the fed is looking at the one report that cannot read anything. like the one report that tends to have a bias to the downside. are missing the most growth in the economy, and what does that say about the domestic economy? trying tos a critical

3:55 pm
alix: do you feel those sectors have reflected that kind of insulation in the market? >> every report is like health care, restaurant, service sector type of job. what i keep hearing from people probablyd's minded made up already and this report would have to be a big miss. i think if we get a stronger than expected report, the ,arkets will say that is great but a lot of stuff has happened. naked developments have trained fired since the survey period was calculated. on the other hand, we report you are ready have concerns the economy was struggling prior to the international developments, and you know things have only gotten worse. alix: interesting. what is your job call? >> i think it is below 200,000.
3:56 pm
however, i think the risk is the unemployment rate could decline by .2%. 5.1 unemployment rate. participation is a big part of the trend. , theng at the model leading indicators that the -- of the on the planet rate suggests a slightly bigger move will work. certainly by year and we break to 5%. alix: cold calls. we will see what happens tomorrow, just hours away. a lot more coming up. we will get the last call on the jobs market. stay with us. ♪ . .
