1:00 pm
>> want to be long spanish government bonds on the notion that the package is better and more unified than people expect. >> all right. that does it for us. catch options action tonight followed by money in motion. follow me on twitter. "power" begins now. thank you very much. we begin with breaking news of wall street. the market's surging like it hasn't in weeks after a little bit of hope of angela merkle, the germans in europe, the bulls say danke schen. the dow up 220 at 12,822. just a little bit of a pitch away from 13,000. the s&p 500, up nearly 2% and the nasdaq higher than by better than 2%, at 2921.04. more on the whys. but first to sue and the guys on the floor of the new york stock exchange. >> i know. i'm a lucky girl today, ty, indeed. let's get right to it. jeff gillberg, art casion joins
1:01 pm
us. welcome, gentlemen. art, big rally. a lot of hopeful news out of europe. the question is whether or not you buy this rally at this point. will it last? or is this just a few fireworks before the fourth of july next week? >> well, i think it's living on the fact of no negative comments out of germany so far. it's been a heck of a move from the low yesterday to where we are right now. it's about 400 points in the dow in less than 24 hours so i think i'm going to wait until monday morning and see what the mood is in europe. it might last couple a couple of weeks. we did this last october. we whatted one of these. i'll wait until monday. >> the skeptic says, steve, this is a sucker's rally. the retail investor is pulled in to this and then all the institutional investors and the guys with the faster money get out. what's your read on it?
1:02 pm
>> i think the 1349 test this morning on the support side was significant. it held. i think the other moving parts in the marketplace is more significant today and the lack of a selloff in u.s. treasuries longer dated is more significant than seeing in stocks today. >> would you agree, jeff? >> i would. the bond market is providing leadership from the get-go here and the 10-year yield, if we see a cloz above, you'll see continued bond selling because the price is clearly inverse related to the yield and then got that selling. you will see that boost in the equity market continue, sue. >> you know, art, what about that move in interest rates? i mean, a lot of people hiding their money in treasuries for security reasons, of course, and everybody's been waiting for the catalyst that will burst that bond bubble. could this be it? >> it's possible but i think what you're seeing is a little bit of a reaction. if germany's going to have to pay up, that bund will have to
1:03 pm
pay up, too. so they move. in relation, it's been a flight to safety so i think it's a stroll away from safety and we'll see and stocks it feels like it's up the limit. you know? we have vaulted in to 1353, 1357 resistance and we are just hanging out. >> what about the data, steve? we are going to talk about this later, certainly. but does the data we are seeing here in the united states support the kind of move that we are seeing here in the stock market on a more sustainable basis? >> well, i'll tell you that on -- i'll give you a better answer after monday's ism and friday's job numbers. >> that's cheating. >> based on what i have i like the way the housing data started to turn. we have seen four beats on consensus for housing in a row and consumer confidence isn't quite there. we are starting to see something we haven't seen in a long time. relative to a couple of years ago, not so good. throw out 15 years because that's not normal. >> very true. >> we have a new normal and
1:04 pm
according to the new normal housing is starting to improve. >> on that note, thank you very much, gentlemen. >> on this final day of the first half of the year, all three of the major indices are in positive territory. the dow is up 4.8% year to date. the s&p is 7.6%. and the nasdaq up a whopping 11.9%. gold up 1.8%. oil is down 16, almost 17% coming to the end of the first half of the year. very interesting statistics, ty. >> all right. of course, most of the gains in the first quarter of the year. not the second quarter. one of the big reasons for today's jump is optimism from euro crisis land and our international correspondent michelle caruso-cabrera is here. what did the europes do and why are they taking cheer of it? >> they'll have a european-wide banking authority for confidence across the union.
1:05 pm
>> like the fdic? >> exactly. think of it that way. two things to help out the spanish and italians. allow the big rescue fund they have to directly buy bonds, try to bring the interest rates down trying to re-finance a lot of debt. >> the rates starting to come down in anticipation. >> absolutely. show you in that in a second. direct rexcapitalization and that's to help spain. looking at the last 24 hours in yields, art talking about the huge move in the dow, look at the huge move we saw in the yields with both spain and italy and also germany. take a look. falling for spain, very big move. also for italy. we are talking about 6.35%. >> wow. >> approaching 7%. ita italy's down to 5.8% and almost at 6.4%. >> more than a--point move there in the spanish debt. >> huge, huge. there's germany. why? higher yields today.
1:06 pm
the interest rates are rising. expected to pick up more responsibility, more risk. >> speaking of germany, and its chancellor angela merkle, widely seen as a bit of a come up pans for her. when's the consequences? >> go home and sell it to the german people, to constituency to get re-elected or so she hopes. the sense is that mario monty arrived and said we need help to lower the interest raits because the debt costs are rising too fast. she did a couple of things that she said she never wanted to do, including the sm to buy debt. so, it's perceived as a loss. she will have to go back and convince them she has gotten enough other things to justify the move. >> good day for italy on the soccer pitch and the summit. i have a feeling it's continuing this story. >> you see?
1:07 pm
>> we'll see you next week. let geese to brian shactman. >> you know the things of a rising tide lifting all boats and looking for maybe some specific boated lifted higher for this reasons we're discussing. take a look at coca-cola enterprises. the biggest coke bottler in western europe. waiting for stabilization and got it today. huge interest in belgium and france. near the highs of the day, sue. back to you. >> brian, there were two key pieces of data, neither of them particularly great and neither of them having a big impact on stocks today, either. first up, consumer sentiment hitting a 6-month low. if the declines keep coming it could start hitting consumer sales then ten the chicago purchaser's management index. activity picked up in june but just slightly. the american businesses are facing headwinds and faces the

1:09 pm
they'll have a contingency plan and the public will see portions of the planls when they're released next week. the most interesting things that i'm watching for is new whales in the banks' derivatives. >> london whales? >> exactly. what capital structure of each bank means for bond investors in a bankruptcy and what banks view as their own noncore assets, the first to go when the going gets tough and this disclosure could scare some managers about the viability of the units they run at the banks but we asked former fdic chairman bill isaac. they won't be based on realtime info but updated each year but banks aren't legally bound but they would save the hefty fees that trustees charge liquidating a -- >> the work is done ahead of time? >> exactly.
1:10 pm

1:17 pm
2010, rx 350 and 450h. the federal government says there is the potential for floor mats and pedal entrapment. this was at the heart of the massive recalls back in late 2009. federal government says they saw an increase in the floor mat complaints of models in particular last month that led to the recall today. look at shares of toyota. after the news broke, there was a bit of a dip. not a huge selloff. the shares up more than 2.5% today. some might be optimism of investors of toyota with the portfolio around the world, it is in pretty good shape even with the problems of the yen in japan. today the ceo of toyota was in munich, germany, announcing that toyota and bmw are teaming up in the development of electric cars, fuel cells, sports car. tapping the expertise of toyota with electric cars, bmw with race cars and sharing that
1:18 pm
expertise and auto technology and shares of bmw, like toyota, enjoying a pop today. on a day when you would expect shares to sell off on that news a little bit, no movement at all. >> what about the american carmakers? with the deal in europe, giving a lift to certain parts of the market but not the american automakers apparently. why? >> everybody wonders how bad will it get in europe. look at ford. down over 4%. they come out yesterday and say our losses overseas are tripling. from the first quarter to the second quarter, sue. and if it's happening then, what's going to happen in the third quarter? is there a bottom in sight? when do they have to say we're closing a plant in they have not made that commitment yet. >> down 28% year to date? is that correct? >> reporter: in the last year, down 28%. >> wow. >> reporter: they have come back a little bit today.

1:20 pm
far. this is now the worst fire season in colorado's history. the president is set to arrive in the fire zone within the hour and see that damage firsthand. miguel amalgeur is on the ground for us. miguel? >> reporter: good afternoon. the president declared this fire a disaster, it will free up federal funds to help the crews fighting the blaze. the damage is already in the millions. it's charred more than 18,000 acres. as you mentioned, roughly 450 homes destroyed. this fire only 15% contained, which is to say 85% of the fire is unchecked, still making runs through forest and so today at least 20,000 homes are technically threatened by the fire. this is also causing a huge financial blow to the state. last year here in colorado, more than 60 million tourists, many for the biking, rafting and
1:21 pm
cycling. outdoor amenities that the state has to offer and because of so much fire and so much smoke there's been some concern that the tourism numbers drop, the industry helped bring in more than a billion dollars here last year and concern today there's not a rebound. coming up on the fourth of july seeing so many people flood the state. >> all right. miguel, thank you very much. hopefully they get a change in the weather to help them out, as well. a lot more ahead. we're watching this market which now has the dow and the s&p at new highs for the trading session. when we continue, we're going to look at this final trading day of the first half of 2012. some of the gainers but also some of the losers. nike is tripping up. the stock may be up 50% in 5 years but down 10% alone today. analysts downgrading it due to a slowdown in china. we'll talk about that coming up next. plus, we are analyzing the

1:31 pm
50 bucks settling here above $1,600 an ounce. keep in mind, of course, a lot of reaction to the deal in the eu and the fact that we're also seeing the end of the quarter and a pretty bad quarter, actually, for many commodities, as well. might be position squaring, as well, going on here. we are looking at silver up 5%. copper up over 5%. palladium and platinum up, as well. gold is set to be down significantly in the quarter. we have also seen a bit of a loss here in the holdings in the gld. it is down slightly, down about .5 or so after having gained 32 tons over the previous 3 months and looking at what we have seen of liquidation in the gold market, sue, but right now there is a rally on and depends on china news over the weekend. traders say whether the rally is
1:32 pm
maintained. back to you. >> thanks so much. now to brian shactman. >> every single major s&p sector to the upside. con ed is weakeren that the overall sector, basically we have a heat wave in the northeast and 8,500 con ed workers in new york area might go on strike. not good. the stock is down in an up market. >> not good news at all. thank you very much. the breaking news is the markets soaring with the dow just high of a new high and the tranports confirming that move. courtney reagan is here with us. >> hi, sue. what a rally today. 226 points to the upside and positively surprising in the market we didn't expect much and got more than we bargained for and pushed equities higher nearly across the board. you look at the sectors and it is a risk-on rally. that surge of contracts that
1:33 pm
sharon was talking about at the nymex pushing up a number of other commodity-related names, for example. housing in focus today and number of positive markers this week for the group. the itv hitting a new three and a half-year high and housing reports better than expected. lennar's orders and earnings better than expected i believe and then kb home reporting earnings better than expected beating the top and bottom line and narrower second quarter loss as the orders soared. constellation brands beating the street. and also announcing it will acquire the remaining 50% stake that it doesn't already own from anheuser busch of $1.58 billion. shares at five-year highs. it is 5:00 somewhere. sue, back to you. >> indeed it is. cheers. thank you very much. that is a very bullish
1:34 pm
scenario and many analysts say the second half could be tough for one particular part of the market. the banks. due in part to a sharp drop in deal. goldman sachs plans to slash several hundred jobs to cut the costs. how bad for the financials? joining us is neil weinberg at american banker. good to see you again, neil. >> my pleasure. >> we know that the deal making has been drying up lately but some people say that has to do with the credit markets versus the overall environment in the banks. >> i don't know. you need animal spirits, ceos to take risks and hard to believe with europe, with the crisis going on the deal overnight, forget about that for a moment, that crisis, asia slowing down and the united states limping along, hard to believe the a&m market is going to be strong. i'm talking about it for weeks and not seeing the activity out there. >> the animal spirit may be one
1:35 pm
part of it. what about the ability to float debt for a deal? how does that look in the second half? >> well, there's, you know, cash out there. there's certainly liquidity. do people want to take risks? that's a big question you will have. i don't think the financing is really the major impediment here. >> how do you feel about the banks in the second half? we have had trading issues with jp morgan chase. now the libor issues with barclays and other big banks. it seems as though there's major headwinds and headline risks for the issues. >> i agree. the headline risk is huge because, of course, there's regulatory things in the pipeli pipeline. in addition as you're suggesting, the market is weak and commercial banking with the interest rates, margins are bad and the profits that banks have been able to grow over the last few quarters from lower provisions against bad debt and
1:36 pm
can't go on forever. >> thank you, neil. have a good weekend. see you next week sometime i'm sure. over to you, ty. rick santelli is all over it from the cme group. rick? >> well, thank you, tyler. you know, obviously, it is the end of the quarter and also a friday. both very big events for trade earls. so let's look at the two markets i'm paying attention to. look at a one-week chart, it is a nick on the week. last week 1.67. let's call it a draw. but boy, open that chart up to the laft day of march and it was huge quarter for rate drops. we were at 2.21 last day of march. currently at 1.65. we are talking 56 basis points. that's humongous and the lowest closing yield on record or any records and considered ancient times and 145. the dollar index, well, today
1:37 pm
it's sunk. on the week down two thirds of a cent and open up that chart, we are up on the dollar index and many look at this chart and say looks a bit toppy. it's totally a statement of what you think is going on in europe. ty, back to you. >> rick, thanks very much. despite europe's new deal today, the euro zone is a concern for businesses with big international exposure. our chief international correspondent michelle caruso-cabrera joins us with a special guest. >> thank you so much. leaders watching europe. joining us now is a business leader, ricardo salinas, second richest man in mexico. and he joins us now from as a attending the aspen ideas festival. good so see you again. >> how are you doing, michelle? >> great to have you here. we are talking about europe so much today. you have seen a lot of debt
1:38 pm
crises up close suffering from so many. how are you looking at the situation in europe? how do you game it out? do you have advice for them? >> i mean, well, obviously, we got to thank the germans for the rally today and i think that the bailout is the only way out, frankly. they're in a big debt trap. and they need to have some liquidity. so this is the right move. >> at this point. okay. turning it back now to your part of the world, mexico. the election is on sunday. for the new president. what do you think after that? the drug war, is that a good idea? are they finally going to allow private investment in the mexican oil company? >> well, the election is up and there's a 10-point difference between the front-runner and the second place. so it's pretty much a done deal
1:39 pm
that pri will be back in power. now, what does that mean in terms of the drug war? i hope it means change. we have 50,000 dead people in 5 years. you know? this is a very serious situation in our country and this is one of the reasons why the ruling party is being ushered out. >> so you think the drug war should stop? >> we have to think about that. well, i think we should apply the policies that america has. you know? >> i don't know. you smile like that and what does that mean? >> well, there's plenty of drugs going on here in america and there's lots of money and guns going back to my country but doesn't seem to be this violent killing going on, so i think we should look to the kind of policy that is lead to that kind of outcome. you know? as opposed to the policies we have today that lead to the outcome of 50,000 dead people. >> i guess i still don't understand what you mean. when it comes to what the new mexican president should do, what do you think he should do?
1:40 pm
>> he should crack down on violent crime and basically let the distribution drugs flow to where they're needed in this big market in america. that sounds very bad but that is the reality of drug trade today. as long as it's a huge demand in the states exists, it will be supplied. from mexico or another country. >> interesting. okay. let's move on to another topic that we talk a lot about with you. you run the biggest electronics chain in mexico. in the past, you have tried to buy circuit city out of bankruptcy. there's opportunity in best buy right now. have you looked at that in any way or shape? >> not really. i think best buy has some problems of their own and frankly we are expanding much more in the financial services sector and that's doing really well for us. we're up to now 25 million customers in our bank for the bottom of the pyramid and that's what's really driving our groelt
1:41 pm
and really excited about that. >> thank you so much, mr. salinas, for joining us from aspen. and tyler and sue, talking about the bottom of the pyramid, ri ka do salina specializes in giving credit to low-income individuals in latin america that struggle to get credit. >> absolutely. just how much wealth the iphone created for investors and executives. that's coming up. but first, check out the markets. the rally is broad and roaring today. up 226 points on the dow. the s&p up 26 points, better than 2%. and the nasdaq up almost 3% on the trading day. if you made a list of countries from around the world... ...with the best math scores. ...the united states would be on that list.
