we see other issues with exxon. even that giant headache credit rating drop. we back doubt and we are underweight the energy patch and we want to take our time before we realize and go back in. do you seet happening in the tech space? is it a gross versus value dynamic? david: the shift was triggered by apple. apple was a very large weight. exister etf's, it doesn't or is not a large weight at all. 13%, microsoft is about 10. we owned by gn and took the weight up.

allow that to be roughly the weight we wanted but weight and that increased amazon and facebook, which is positions we want to integrate into the tech portfolio. alix: much more coming up with you. we will preview tomorrow's job report and talk about japan. scarlet: breaking news -- paul ryan is speaking right now, saying he is not ready to support donald trump as the nominee as the presumptive nominee of the republican party, but trump should be congratulated for winning the nomination and the nominee should advance the principles of the gop and adds republicans can still beat hillary clinton. we will be back with more. ♪

crumpton.mark let's get to first word news. the white house says president obama has commuted the sentences of 58 federal convicts, including 18 serving life sentences. in march, the president commuted 61 sentences for drug related offenses. the obama administration has commuted 306 people in the last six years, more than the last six presidents combined. clinton is urging democrats to unite around her presidency. she told community leaders in los angeles that her lead is much wider than the advantage.

forecast. this fiscal fourth-quarter revenue beating the consensus estimate as well as its own forecast. gopro reaffirming its full-year forecast and we see the stock up 6% in after-hours trading. david, we were talking about your calls -- a recent call is you are bullish on japan. has that changed? david: it hasn't helped matters. it certainly set us back. there's a nuance -- he did extend credit in the banking system after the earthquake at zero interest rates for long-term. markets ignored that and my sense is part of the debate at the bank of japan is whether stimulative act or

not and it certainly was. if i lend you money for a long time at a zero interest rate, that is stimulative. japan to weaken the an end do more to add fiscal stimulus and not raise the tax raise defense spending because of what is going on around them, these are an enormous pressures and we think they will come to bear. in that light, it would make sense the bank of japan would decide not to do anything ifpt old and wait and see this would have the desired effect. oliver: that's the big surprise here. japaneseart here is demographics and that's not something that changes rapidly. how concerned are you that the roots of the problem are too ingrained?

if this is not working, what will? will, we don't know. the only policy that exists is to have very long stretches at no cost to finance. in the demographic, you need to have high defense expenditure when you have a neighbor, china, and another neighbor, north korea posing existential threats, and they do. in thisld we do demographic if we were in charge? have highly productive defense technology at work and they are going to do it. amending their budgets and they have to defend themselves. scarlet: let's turn it over to jobs. a lot of people call this critical because we see a multi-quarter deceleration that has extended through the first quarter. what are you looking for to determine if the fed can go ahead with an increase?

surprise we get a number, that would surprise us. we think we are in a slow growth environment. not. continue, the fed is weakerkets will like numbers and say that postpones things into the fall or into the winter. if it is robust, markets will like it because that will give the fed cover to act. corporate profits keep going down, but the job market is going up. the question is how long can that gap be there? oliver: i think that is going to be an important issue. we know what the employment picture is, but one of the things here is when you look at the jobs, is there a certain

inflation level that would send a yellow or red flag to you? david: you could have it but the fed can't get the inflation rate up to their target. at this very banks low interest rates still cannot get the inflation rate up to a target. how do they act in a slow growth economy when they can't get the interest rate up? if we were to accept for a minute that we were going to have these low interest rate for a long time, would you revalue stocks at higher levels? why do we have to be bound by old metrics of price-earnings when in fact we are at very low interest rates for a long time havei think asset prices an upside and then up word bias. alix: good to see you.

guest: among emerging market economies, turkey is not doing that that. instability is taking center stage right now. the concerning thing is related to what's happening with the central bank. there's no new central bank governor in place. is whether the central bank is going to maintain the fight against inflation. alix: isn't there a reason turkey is not doing oddly is because you had a prime minister who was seen to have closer ties to the west and eu? guest: that's right. the prime minister was seen as something as a reformer and was respect to the in international markets -- respected in international markets. the low oil prices have been a

boon for turkey because turkey imports oil. they had a recently good fiscal position and was benefiting from the increasingly favorable view of the markets at least in the short term. but this political instability overrides all of that. oliver: you had commerzbank reducing the gdp expectations and nomura saying the chances for a downgrade have doubled. are these reactions out of place? it's going to be difficult in the coming months because the market is losing confidence that turkey will go in the right direction. succeeds in capital , in order to pump up growth, that creates uncertainty and instability. it's going to be a rocky few months for turkey. i think political instability will keep things rocky for a little while.

does the president listen to or who is he beholden to? guest: he seems to be largely beholden to himself and is accreting a lot of power. tohas shaped the military his liking, so there's nobody who can stand up to him right now. thank you. we will be discussing china and the yen next. alix: cheniere energy reporting a first-quarter loss of $1.41 a share. estimates were for a loss of $.32, so i'm not sure if these are comparable. this is the first liquefied natural gas exporter terminal in the united states that began exporting lng just a few months ago. profitve not turned a since 1998, so the stakes are high for this company.

there is now a sense that they can hold the line. the weakening of the dollar has helped as well. i want to bring it to a macro capital markets look and dive into bloomberg. risk freet the return. china has a pretty high risk premium. that has happened as the return on the 10 year yield has taken a dive. what is this telling us in terms of macro sentiment? guest: the important thing about china is the chinese economy and chinese financial markets and the two don't often moved together at all -- don't often moved together at all. when the stock market was rising up, the economy was not doing that well.

then the stock market crashed in the economy was weakening, but not to that extent. defaultsr of corporate are rising and some of the things you see in the fixed income state. the market problems in terms of debt are beginning to come to a boil. scarlet: what happened at the end of last summer through chinese officials for a loop. they thought they had a handle on things and it spiraled out of control. what did they learn from the august valuation versus what did investors learn? guest: it was a desperate measure to prop up the economy. i think china had the right intentions, but the implementation did not go well, starting with a 2% devaluation. it said exactly the wrong signal to the market and the lack of communication 36 hours later was

a big problem. have done, they better but they have a long way to go. the charts looking at showing the volatility we have seen versus what has happened with the dollar. the fixing moves, so you have the volatility picking up that has nothing to do with china. oliver: i think the currency storm that has taken off in the past year is important because of the dollar and i'm curious what happens if the fed goes in june, what do you expect that reaction to be? that's going to make it much harder for china to manage. and if theyoes move get more aggressive, that could lead to a strengthening of the dollar. d-link it, ito

would be a problem. it becomes part of the basket. they have asked they're not be too much volatility until then. i have a question about the g-20 that's going to come up soon and japan. there are noises japan wanted to --ch out and discuss some what do they have to gain from each other right now? there were some very interesting statements that china should enforce some capital controls. if it up -- if it does -- over thethat
