auto industry we think is booming, sales are up, record sales in the united states and look at what is happening, investors are so skittish about the auto industry. >> in europe, volume has been good for a couple of years. this is something that looms large over the whole sector. after volkswagen, the question would be asked who is next and automakers in europe saying it would not be may. as for the market reaction, no confirmation, no news from renault themselves that you have to think of the environment we are in, european equities already down this morning, you see a headline like that, the union saying there was a raid, the nervousness and uncertainty that people already have in this market. david: china was way down and came back overnight, the u.s. was up when we left yesterday and came back down. every market seems to be over reacting to everything.

7:10 am
the most recent negotiations. in europe, unions are sitting on the board in numbers. in germany, for most of the automakers, union makeup about half of the board members, supervisory board members, so they not only have a lot of information but a lot at stake. it is interesting they would come out with this information. david: if you are the ceo of any auto copy, you would be asking your self if we had a problem. stephanie: you would not be using the word never, ever. next, jpmorgan saw a profit, up 10% in the latest quarter, we discussed the biggest bank in the u.s. next. ♪

kevin: that is the general thinking about what you have seen in the last year. it was cheaper to drill the wells in the breakeven comes down. plus, indebted producers producing just to cover the note on their debts. technology costs have fallen. there is organic technology and efficiency gain still in process. services companies cutting discounts will not stay in business if they go down 20% per annum. david: when do prices start to come back up in your model? kevin: the problem is the models are based on the expectation of a fairly steep incline right now in the u.s. and a fairly shallow growth in the global supply from iranian producers. i would say you are looking at a third quarter early fourth quarter uptick and a swing that continues into 2017.

the dowto watch transport, down 10% since the beginning of the year. officially in a bear market. john: just want to bring your breaking news a little bit of a rebound. thanks face tougher capital moves for market risk. stephanie rules for how banks measure market risk. a lot of details here but it continues. , revamp seems to stop after reeve amp banks have to continually just -- adjust to the new rules. >> this is the last thing jamie dimon wants to's the, another surcharge on the risk jpmorgan takes on the markets. to affect the banks most active in capital markets and investment banking. that would include jpmorgan and would include deutsche bank.
8:05 am
we have yet to see what the massive revamp does to that business. it certainly affects goldman sachs where it will affect jpmorgan, the largest investment banks in the world which play the largest role in markets. and probably less so the more regional and consumer a commercial thanks, kind of like wells fargo, though that has gotten really big. more along the lines of the u.s. bancorp. mentioned you deutsche, ubs will already on some level retreat from businesses because they are saying we do not like capital requirements and this is costing us too much. and they simply say we will get out of some of these business -- businesses entirely? >> some have gotten out of the businesses for the most part. there are going where the growth is. therefore banks that focus on capital markets a great deal
8:06 am
will probably have these headwinds facing them for a while. say the fed isu testing the resolve of jamie dimon and brian moynihan that continue with a plan to be a global universal bank, doing everything across all regions, including maintaining a large invest bank along the consumer and commercial business? like jamie dimon, it is a long game. giving up on investment taking because of rushers today, it is probably too early. they are committed to it. i think they will stick with it for the time being. talked to last time i a major u.s. tank, they said the fed is already imposing requirements higher than basel so we are repaired for fossil to go up. maybe you are right, but i am not sure this will actually change the big u.s. banks gave
8:07 am
your. good pointyou make a here and i would love your insights on it. very strict in the last few years and likewise swiss. you want the swiss finish third go up and above where every other regulator is. where do you see the banks and the regulators behind outside the u.s. and outside of >> forland question mark large banks, capital time and is an issue but not the driver at the moment. the driver is the revenue stream you can generate in the capital market. those other two think they are rationalizing and people who will do well are the people who will rationalize on both sides of that equation. capital related issues have been with us banks for quite some time aired it is not the driver at the moment. himselfe: jamie dimon
8:08 am
said just how me what the rules are and we will figure out how to win the race here it when you look at earnings, how do you think they are doing? >> under the circumstances, really well here they are optimizing their business, getting away from businesses where the return on capital is not good. ,nd focusing on businesses advisory, things like that that they are good at and they can make a lot of money. >> they are adjusting, but look where they ended up. in the fourth quarter, they have adjusted to a return on it the of 9%. can generate and are only of 9% in the long run and be considered a desirable investment. you're absolutely right these banks are adjusting, but what are the circumstances going to be that will ultimately deliver to the shareholders a reasonable return on their investment? it is hard to see because we just ended two ears with the
8:09 am
best investment banking environment we have ever seen short of maybe 2007. stephanie: you are saying it is not a reasonable investment but it is more responsible because the black box which it was when you invested in the bank has gotten more clear. collects it is a cyclical business. it is a cycle and at some point, the cycle will return your it the big players will stay in the game for a return of the cycle. david: i want to bring in another act for who is on the phone. i do not know if you are able to hear much of the discussion to we were about how the banks will have to change their behavior. >> it is an important question going lowered. if you look at jpmorgan, we have got 11% -- across the capital, somewhere closer to 10%. i don't know if cost of capital is what they will be happy with
8:10 am
or investors will be happy with. going forward, i do not think we will see as high in our league, especially in trading and the investment banking businesses here the average aro we might be not quite as high but the highs will not be quite as high and the lows will not be quite as low. i think the keys to improving that are a leave from here -- roe from here is how productive your assets are with revenues and how much more efficient you can get. decisive scale a advantage. scale matters more than ever. we will see what they end up with their balance sheet size live. look at them to be concentrating
8:11 am
generating assets and pulling lending andme of some of the things that have a lower asset yield. >> the street expects jpmorgan revenue to grow 4% in 2016 and an additional 20 -- 6% in 2017. given the volatility in markets, the concerns over credit, particularly in oil and gas, and uncertainty over whether the really slowwill positively, can those estimates really hold? >> i think they can. it depends on the way the environment is. on the verge of a global recession, no, they will not. if cheated. and thetays in their economy globally can hang in there, i think the sell off see now is a big overreaction. i could easily get to those theth numbers just with
8:12 am
type of loan growth these guys have shown in the back half of 2015 and a rebound in trading and investment banking. as good as the announced m&a business has an in recent years, that does not generate revenues. investment banking, you know, we are not near what i would call cyclical peaks and trading has been week. markets and capital no recession and we will get there and then some. john: it is my personal interest and it stands out. on loansss provisions to energy companies. you wonder how exposed the financial sector is to what is happening in markets right here and right now. more specifically in commodities. issue.it is an thever, i think most of large banks have a portfolio they have managed reasonably well. there will be losses but i do
8:13 am
not think the losses will be of the magnitude we face in other credit crises, whether that was the asian crisis or the subprime crisis and it's like that. will increaseng for sure, but i do not think it will be like before. >> or the telecom bust. >> no. a lot of the speculated capital was really raised in the capital market rather than through the banking system. that is why the losses in banking systems i think will be far more controlled. the point jeff makes is good. if you do not believe, if you do not think we are going to have a decent growth environment, i think tanks will not do well. but if you think global growth is not slowing down and it is more a traction in the cap market, reaching those targets is really not that large a deal. stephanie: do you think we are
8:14 am
in a low growth environment? >> i don't think we're heading for a recession. i think we are heading for a correction. oil in china but those are symptoms. the correction is driven by the fed and the tightening. at some point, the fed will get off of that and we will have a growth picture in the u.s. and i think on a global basis, it will probably clarify in the not so distant future. later.is back a big thanks for joining this morning. more on an investigation next. sutures this morning, 15 minutes away from the open in new york city. -- we are positive five points. we will debate that. ♪

8:39 am
a rush to yield. you do not just see it in corporate credit. the demand for the u.s. treasury , the most in one year and one month. to a little bit of a risk aversion in some way. quite absolutely. the deal yesterday really highlighted the widening gap in the credit markets. you saw it happened on the same was a three year high. clearly people are still worried about credit. it is all about selection now and all the sudden, he baku cup up anything and everything are saying, maybe any to put myself on a diet. >> i would read this headline. it is good for credit markets. the urge to go into this because isre is so little else that high-quality come a lot of stuff out there is bad.

8:46 am
report. they talked a bit about the outlook for interest rates. we know j.p. morgan and others anticipate further hikes in 2016 and based on what they expect now, j.p. morgan expect to generate millions of dollars in incremental income. it sounds like a lot of money but in 2015, they have $43.5 billion of that income. 245 .5. a love that will slow down to the bottom line. significants potential increased profit but not the bonanza that maybe some hoped-for at one point when the fed would begin hiking interest rates. it'll take a while before we get to a positive yield curve in an commercial where banks like jpmorgan can make a lot of money on loans. those are the highlights right now. be listening and waiting for mr. diamond to speak.

goldman sachs to let these individuals get in as well. stephanie: let's talk about the demand and the potential investors. uber has of a clean raise money from the beginning. think he would have already been invited to invest in the private rounds. why do they need to come in now? >> this allows them to get in individually appeared a different kind of structure than being a limited partner. also, we have heard over come out and say an ipo is still a few years away. there is still some running room before this hits public markets and gives them an exit. you still have more of that scarcity, the fear of miss out. people want to get in as it has started to improve it business model. we have seen over it and into business lines like delivery and push harder into china. these are promises to boost value move toward that these

been. the move is not growing the let's make sure we are contracting in the right way. >> i was impressed with jpmorgan numbers. the street has been roughed up in the fixed income business and they have held it together. i thought that was impressive. i think the 5% number, most investment banks ruled the bottom 5% out and try to get better people throughout the -10% back in.g 5% a constant shuffling. to see a 5% number is not unusual for the beginning of the year to do some housecleaning and figure out who was the winner and who was the loser and try to find out if there were guys on the street who are displaced from another bank. >> i think they may cut as much as 10% in 2016. so may be going a bit the on the yearly call. were 12,000here

headcount down year-over-year. a significant number. >> a lot of analysts are coming into the quarter and they said they are starting to run out of room. people thought jpmorgan would have revenue down year-over-year. was up 1% p.m. maybe they could find some revenue growth in 2016. it is what they will need to drive the stock and the estimates and expectation. there are not a lot of cuts they could continue to do here. david: the number two story that came up while on the air, that was the banking supervision posting rules today. the rules are stiffer and will result in a weighted increase of 40% in capital charges. david is still here with us here the question i'm asking is, did this is -- is this really a change?

>> i think the bank saw it coming. what it is trying to do here is get away from a reliance on bank models. as we know, some of those models proved insufficient going into the crisis for estimating the riskiness of trading books. they are making some changes from theting away value risk model a lot of banks rely on, moving more toward an exposure model, how much they could actually lose in a black swan type of event. banks saw this coming there they are not happy to see it. risk-weighted assets in the banking system, in trading books, goes from 6%-10% now after this change. if you have a big trading book, this will certainly affect you. >> is this a never ending journey for regulators? >> goes back to the original point on forcing these guys to get smaller. i think this is really where the rubber meets the road.
9:07 am
it is where your charges start to come in. you cannot provide the services the clients have wanted. and that industry just shrinks or creates new shadow pieces on the side that fill in the voids. i think those things can take a lot of time. in the junk-bond market, when it drexeled after the fiasco and early 1990's, it took for quite -- four or five years because they were such a dominant force. markets take a while to figure out who will be the liquidity divider and how it will work. no one wants to be the only liquidity provider either. your point, this will evolve for years and not quarters. jonathan: on to number three. down as much as 23% in the european session. shares have recovered slightly around 10% this morning. -9.24% on the screen right now.
9:08 am
concerned company was regulated by government investigators as part of a probe into vehicle emissions. others down across the board as well. cap chrysler down 7%. bmw also negative. you and i have this conversation this morning. we went through the headlines. the french union came out with the headlines first. on any other day, maybe would not have seen the company stocks and the whole sector just go down the. >> you do not see this sort of reaction unless there is a fair amount of nervousness. in this company and in europe, they have been testing in an artificial way. they have not been testing the cars on the road. and when you really raise the requirements a great deal, people may try to cheat. how surprising is that? >> would it surprise you if guys in the industry who made the diesel engines talked about some
9:09 am
of the new technologies to avert regulatory structure? in finance, we get together and talk about our new businesses and lo and behold someone comes itand we get a crisis out of . the same sort of thing can apply to any industry. i'm sure the diesel engineers at every one of the country -- every one of these countries new where was going. >> to your point, if the regulators are going to be serious and have teeth, they should go to dealerships, take cars for a test drive or by them himself and actually run tests in the real world. if you do not do that, you have got to expect someone is gaming the system. i'm not saying that happened here we have no idea what is happening with these cars. i will say it is a bigger problem in europe than for us. diesels are huge there. fan becauseesel

they have a lot of torque and i love the pulling power. but they are nowhere near the amount of sales here. in europe, it is over 50%. has been subsidized because it was considered to be cleaner. much it is fuel-efficient, lower co2 emissions. it is just the nitrous oxide stuff that will kill your neighbors. that is the problem. question asked after volkswagen was whether that investment would continue, whether all of this would have to get pushed to the side .ecause they could not do it matt: i put that question to almost every ceo i spoke with in the last couple of days, including carlos of nissan and no, and they still see room for diesel products. products areel safe as far as emissions. nissan makes a truck here, a diesel truck.
9:11 am
those have special canisters that help to clean out of emissions. >> we really don't know what the facts are yet but i'll be curious to see how tesla stocks are doing today as an alternative to diesel. we will come back with it. you have it there? good call. while, we find trouble. thank you. those are the stories that matter to markets now. futures are climbing higher this morning. we will next take a look at what is moving up and down in the premarket. we are over .5% in the s&p futures. that is good. coming up next. ♪

it is being hurt by weak demand in asia. markets now with matt. matt: a look at a couple of stocks here starting with chipotle, it got an upgrade. analysts saying the meeting chipotle held about the e. coli and may be thep cdc will take aaa off of its watchlist there. this could be good news for the stock. it was up a lot yesterday. buy came out with a holiday sales decline. down 1.2% because of sluggish sales of mobile phones. in the last holiday season, they were up 3.4%. see, down you can almost 10% in the premarket. finally, gopro has been getting crushed in the premarket. it released preliminary holiday sales figures well below analyst estimates.

inflation expectations may be falling due to the oil drop. you see the market-based expectations rolling over as well every time crude rose over. the killer line is the drop in inflation expectations is becoming worrisome for the federal reserve, especially when the ballpark figure for 2016 is fall rate hikes. >> some of those dots may have moved around a little bit. to jump inavid, just quickly and get your opinion on this as well. do you think federal reserve officials and central banks elsewhere should respond to lower inflation based on a move in the commodities market? david: we consume commodities and it is part of the overall mandate. we does have to look at the noise and try to find the signal. the signal is that these prices are a little lower. we have seen this before with jim when the market gets a little rocket. he puts out a nice little flair.
9:20 am
seems to have a knack. i would not be surprised if that is on his mind. a lot of things have probably changed not just for the fed but the ecb. the ecb minutes for out as well today. they were talking about everything being normal in china and every being happy-go-lucky and things were pretty good. and i'm sure the discussion at the next meeting will not be like that as i assume the next fed meeting will be a little more nervous about what happened to start the year in china. are also now and energy producer. if you look at gdp growth, a surprising percentage of it came from the energy sector and it does not look that will continue going forward. more effect than just consumption. >> does. you have all the investment that came from the qe that induced a lot of risk taking. you also have an amazing thing that happened which is everyone has got to dollar gasoline which puts a lot of money in the

pockets. the investment might not improve to the shareholders, but it has accrued to the united states consumer feeling pretty good about it. aswe want to turn to tech tech stocks tumbled. -- darling, gopro came out with shockingly bad news. the camera maker announced all-important holiday sales have been well below gopro's guidelines and 7% of the workforce will have to be cut. shares already down 72% last year are down another 20% in early trading. is here with us in new york. welcome. and cory johnson is in san francisco. david is here with us still. let me start with you, corley. -- corey. -- cory. this stock is not doing anything. cory: it is bad news. gopro cells a lot of presence.
9:22 am
q4 is good for gopro. when they announced guidance, they thought it was conservative. all the market dollars are pushing toward it. when they come out with the fourth quarter that is not only less than analysts expectations and the thought to be conservative guidance, sales quartern in the fourth on a year-over-year basis for this company. it is disastrous. it makes it look like this was a fad or the competition has caught up with them. the product is cool in the videos are cool to look at. the growth of the business has evaporated. what i keep seeing again with gopro is one trick pony. if you are a one trick pony, you can carry on doing that. that accusation has been thrown at apple. you wanted to continue if
9:23 am
you are a one trick pony. itlects you have got to make fresh and exciting and renew the software, really the hardware. it is taking them a really long time to do that. it has been like 18 months. a big important refresh. the products out there are just not capturing people's attention. they are knockoffs. there are people who are talking about, they can go into drones and virtual reality. great idea. incredibly packed. it is a competitive landscape. we were talking yesterday. look over the convention center and there were drones everywhere. a lot of companies already out there. vr, you're getting a head start from facebook and google. want to point out a couple of things. one interesting, you can do a search for a lot of billionaires. it is interesting to see that
9:24 am
nick has at least taken some of his money out of gopro stocks. this red part of the pie is gopro and this green part is cash and securities. an interesting thing for investors, look at the short interest if you have not already typed in gopro on your terminal. look at short interests in your stock. 40%. a massive short interest here. >> the borrow rate on that short the borrow rate was also economically high. there are extensive things -- as pointed out, everyone has got a drone. that was a joke, that everybody had a watch, age or, and virtual reality all in one. this company from day one new that the knock against it was a one trick pony.
9:25 am
they talked and said we are a media company. we will have media because we create media as if the makers of the device -- then they said we will be a drone company. the promise was always for gopro. when results fell apart in this quarter and the knockoff, a great camera store in manhattan, i went in there a few months ago and they told me the gopro.lling camera was the best-selling cameras were the dozens of knockoffs. >> someone out there looking for a market indicator today, talk to me about it. what are we expecting? they represent sort of two big trends in technology. the datae mood in center. intel spent a lot of money trying to shore up the business. and they couldon
9:26 am
start to see some traction in that perhaps as early as the third order. the pc business has been so much owne than intel's's predictions even into the last year when they thought they might see a consumer rebound. still has a giant pc business that has been dramatically shrinking. it has been so much worse that one wonders if there has been risk to we have got stacy smith after the closing bell to talk. about what he sees. jonathan: thank you. you will stay with us. about four minutes away from the open here in the united states and futures are higher. ♪

futures up 17 points. a repeat of yesterday. let's switch it up quickly as the stocks opened in new york city. a lot of selling going on across assets. the pound against the dollar, people keep tweeting me about this. come home. a 2010 low, we've gone back five years. euro-dollar -- a stronger euro this morning. in treasuries, yields a bit lower. 2.08%. looking for a trading cue from the commodity market, there it is, wti back at $31 a barrel. david served most still with us. zervos still
9:31 am
with us. anyone in the markets decades -- is it a repeat of august? putting thehat is template well. i'm comfortable with that idea. no idea that we could have some inkling of the late when the u.s. economy was performing very welcome and the emerging markets were performing very badly, commodity markets performing very badly. there was financial stress in the credit markets. at $90.omed out we had a lot of financial craziness. if you look at the year as an economy, we grew by 4%. there was no inflation. the stock market in 1998 returned to over 30% in the u.s. with a stronger dollar.
9:32 am
--on't think that is an area essyuere were a m financial market -- messy financial market story, i would put it in the 1998 scenario. david: there may be one big difference. the extent to which we become interdependent with the world. one of the numbers that jumped out at me this week with the of s&p 500of profit companies from overseas operations. it is like 26%, which was not true in 1998. when china freezes, we catch cold. david: there is more interlink edness, is that is a word. tore is more of an ability
9:33 am
go between countries. if things are weakening in china, things are getting better in germany, we have this ability to move capital so much more freely. were of are links before very rigid. we could not get out very easily. i'm quite positive just on the ability of capital to flow and move and maybe that's why we get these crazy volatility scenarios. we look for these comparisons because it gives people comfort because they can say that happened and this might happened and that is scary -- the elephant in the room, the amount of central-bank stemless we've had, it makes it very different and makes it less possible to compare the here and now to the past. david: this has been the greatest monetary policy experiment in history. part of the unwinding of that, which we started on december 16, is something to watch with a lot of care.
9:34 am
we were very nervous about it last year. less nervous about it coming into this year. the liftoff went pretty well. we are watching these eseerberations in chin commodities carefully to see if there are feet on effects -- feed on effects. i tend to think that is not the case, but i'm hoping. someeal risk is not overleveraged financial crisis with regulatory arbitrage is like we had in 2008. that strikes me as very unlikely. it is 90% probability we are in -- thenst-september we go back up. there's a little probability on a much deeper emerging-market
9:35 am
that feeds back and keeps the fed on hold for the whole year. david: it may have been an experiment, but it's had to effects. -- two if expert it has the leverage household and corporations. - it has had two effects. it has left the fiscal people in congress -- >> fiscal policy has been underused in europe, underused in japan. ofer the first several years crisis with it was used quite successfully to bring about a rapid turn, fiscal policy has been underused as a resource in the united states. david: is this something of a bright spot?
9:36 am
something we haven't tried yet that we can try? david: i don't think have ever seen mary summers talk negatively about fiscal policy in his life. -- larry summers. he loves fiscal policy. i'm a big believer in monetary. i don't necessarily believe you can go back in the history books and find that many great fiscal experiments could the japanese one looks awful. they had massive fiscal expansion with very little monetary policy accommodation. very tight monetary policy for decades and they never grew. that wouldsponse to be they would need to do more fiscal, probably. response to that. economists on political lines. more fiscal means more government, more big programs, more intervention in the marketplace. debatee that chicago
9:37 am
that comes into it. larry is from the m.i.t. harvard site. not the other side. we have seen monetary policy work amazingly well in the united states. amazingly well in the u.k. it has been started in japan but it is fading a bit because they are losing a bit of the political impetus to go f urther. the same thing with europe in december. the ecb stopped short of where they should have gone and the markets are recognizing that. maybe there is a little less qe in the system globally than the markets were anticipating and that is a bit why we are jittery here. i hate trading on hope -- my hope is the ecb and the bank of japan gets the message. we were big fans of that last year. we pushed that aside this year.
9:38 am
we will hang our hat with janet for a little while david:. one thing to think about. if fiscal policy that worked big-time, the marshall plan. what is going on with the markets? matt: we are seeing gains. slight gains. points and up three the dow jones only up nine. this is one of those days -- my producer absolutely loves the imap function. one of those days when it really is helpful. you see it almost even split here with materials and energy down even though crude is up. gaining.staples you can click on little pieces of the pie, i.t. is up across the board come except for hardware and equipment. down here and see
9:39 am
consumer discretionary is down, all the media stocks and consumer services stocks are up. the imap function is really fascinating, especially on a day like today. take a look at crude. still holding onto gains in nymex crude, brent has come off. nymex up 1.2%. $30.85 a barrel. thatnd it interesting inflation is being weighed on by crude this year when we start off the euro $30 a barrel. how much lower are we going to go? jpmorgan coming up with earnings that beat the street estimates. it is slipping down a lot, now up only .3%. chipotle up about 4% after a big gain yesterday. they think chipotle is getting further away from the e. coli concerns. financial times has a report that went and is thinking -- web possible sale

and barela is a major chip acquirer -- the stock is off significantly on that there is go pro story. it is down 20% through the close yesterday year to date, slicing through last year's lows. selling pressure is likely to continue. a possibility that is in line with the very high end bearish short interest of 42%. next, stocks and commodities may have pledged to kick up the new year. ♪

it is hard for me to address this. i don't want to be too short-term about it. a lot of people are trying to do the same things with the same information and it gets harder. david: here with us now is charles stein from boston. david zervos is still with us. take us first through how well snes done?s >> last year, they had to funds that were up 17%. they had two others that were up 80%. their biggest fund was up 2%. this is a year when nothing worked. qr'sas an awesome mere for a funds. david: is there something unique in his approach? >> it's not like you can look inside the portfolio and say ha

little more freaked out. maybe those quantitative funds have some secret sauce that works. cliff made a great point. you never know when that is going to change. we saw a lot of quantitative funds that had done very well also fall by the wayside because ir secret sauce falls by the wayside. jonathan: momentum in 2016 is down. you would play that well by writing it down. david: the u.s. stock market was unchanged in 2015. there was a lot of divergence. for right here, right now in 2016 come it seems, so far this week, you are proven by the close. david: that may be the new strategy these guys are hopping on. while. on it for a
