4:01 am
at a division. >> leaving its troubles behind, allianz sees a boost on the back of profits despite pimco. profits take a hit on shares in china. the ceo says a dividend hike is still on the cards. >> george osborne says he is in brussels to get a better deal for britain, calling the $1.7 billion tax deal unacceptable. >> announcer: you're watching "worldwide exchange," bringing you business news from around the globe. and welcome to the show and welcome back, seema. how has the week been in dublin? >> it's been spectacular. it's been a busy week for the markets. stocks at an all-time high in the u.s. >> the ecb made me think
4:02 am
yesterday and we have the u.s. jobs. a very big show. we're going to kick off with some earnings numbers. ally i can't answer yanz has rallied to the top of the german market after boosting on the back of better than expected sales earnings. it's competing with rivals and will now pay off 50% of net profits as a dividend up from 40% ratio. net profits rose in the third quarter, despite a total of $5 50 billion flowing out of its fund business pimco following the departure of bill gross. the world's second largest re-insurancer posted a larger than expected net profit as the group had to pay out less insurance claims related to natural catastrophes and manmade
4:03 am
disasters. richemont has had to pay less than analysted had been expecting. the company plains falling numbers in europe. a decline in the iron ore price for ars lore milts has them cutting the steel consumption outlook. shares up about 3.7% in today's trade. over the past year, down about 21%. >> now, oil fell for the fifth day in six after opec cut its demand forecast. behind the move, rising output from producers outside the cartel. they said u.s. shale would have a larger impact on supply than originally thought. crude would have to reach $70
4:04 am
before the full group acts. opec secretary general spoke to steve sedgwick in vienna who began by asking about oil prices at three-year lows. >> it is a decline in price. you see how much is the -- all the supply and demand, much more than during the day. there is as much to a 28% decline. >> what do you think it is, it's three years of stability, haven't we? >> yeah. we have had more than thee years of stability. we don't see any nagging from anybody. but maybe i think we are looking at the tradition. >> i'm interested that you said that. you and i haven't spoken about speculation for a good three
4:05 am
years plus when we saw this huge escalation down to $40 a barrel, up to $49 a barrel. you and i think a lot about speculation. we haven't recently. why do you think there is a speculation of that now? >> i really have no idea. the time spent is not that long. we have to look into this very carefully. it is there, but to be on the positive, it will be okay. but at 208, price of $147, we're looking at the time, why you have this one. you know, there was nothing from that. now, at the same time here, we have this problem. maybe some oversupply, but not
4:06 am
that much. not as much as this decline in the price the. >> joining us now is richard kelly, head of global strategy and our middle east correspondent hadley gamble. hadley, the opec secretary general is trying to suggest that this fall in the oil prices is -- >> he's also trying to say we need a reasonable price for everyone involved. the number that saudi arabia is basically the godfather of opec and they're refusing to sort of play by the rules of this shale oil revolution in the united states. and at the end of the day, to matter what they do in terms of trying to keep hold of that market share, at the same point, the citi report is suggesting that it's going to have to go to $70 a barrel to make it a problem toe even flatten oil production in the united states. the saudi economy requires that they have at least an average price a year of about $80 a barrel at the break even.
4:07 am
so this is the kind of economy, as we know, that they pretty much want to spoim revenues. they attempt to make this a non-oil based economy. that requires cash, as well. at the end of the day, that's something that's not sustainable for them. >> that shale revolution is oil going to surprise the market. >> when you look at oil prices stabilizing, we are in a new era. the way opec would have come in and stabilized these prices is not here. it is very uncertain where you're getting this. for us to see another $10 lower, it is reasonable. you're starting to see some upline. you start to get -- from here. it doesn't feel like we are at the bottom yet. >> 22 pergs in 2012, 33% in
4:08 am
2013. oil is a volatility. are we overreacting a little bit. >> i think overall, markets are in a certain state and i think it's uncertain for many markets than we've seen in the last two years. and i think the issue is you've seen oil prices off, but what are they telling us? are they telling us there is a lack of demand in the world or are they just selling us there's enough supply out there, this is going to be a -- for consumers. in which case you would expect half a percentage point being added to the gdp and the u.s. and uk. >> wti crude trading below $80 a barrel. why haven't we seen the equity market respond in the price drop we're seeing in oil? >> the fed has tapered in the asset purchases. we know the ecb is just getting started. there is that question of if this is boosting consumer abilities around the world, it could get us into a positive market next year. low inflation and strong growth.
4:09 am
>> and you also have to remember this is playing to geopolitics within the region. so saudi arabia, they have no problem seeing iran take a hit or russia take a hit here in terms of prices. this ultimately has to do with what they want to see happen in the middle east and this is not for them, this is about isis, this is about come nabs in the region. this is about taking on the assad regime. it's not a bad thing for saudi arabia. >> i think the bigger front lines of how this pans out is emerging markets. someone in the central bank needs to step outside of that. no one is perturbed right now. >> we're going to leave it there. hadley gamble, that you can for your time. wilfred, with you, now a look at the markets. >> let's have a look at european markets as seema says. we're on track for a third week
4:10 am
of gains. all three indices in the u.s. is not the same here in europe. we had two weak days, two strong days and we're basically flat overall for the week. if things stay like this as they are, we'll be slightly up for the week. up 0.7% so far, but nothing significant. let's look at the individual markets. that strength or relative strength is being -- is relative across the board, although the ftse 100 is leading the way. germany up 0.3%. and both france and italy broadly flat. let's dive into bonds. we had a little bit of movement in yields yesterday on thoughts we might see the ecb still committed to outright quantitative easing, but nothing too significant. yields coming back a little bit today. we're knew that 2.4% level. yields have gone up a little bit more since it was two weeks ago, but it's still at the 2.3 handle. so nothing to get too excited about. the ten-year in germany, 0.84
4:11 am
and gilt 2.6%. forex, it was quite a broad based u.s. dollar rally yesterday. the euro just bouncing back a bit of that today. the euro fell 0.6% over course of yesterday off the back of the ecb saying that, a, it's united behind mario draghi and b, it will remain on the stable. the next one to mention is cable, which is flat today, but it has fallen below 1.59. the bank of england policy meeting kept rates on hold as expected. it was more the part of the u.s. rally yesterday. >> today is all about the jobs data. u.s. payroll is released today with dow jones expecting an increase of 233,000 jobs last month, slightly below september's growth of 248,000. the jobless rate is expected to
4:12 am
stay steady at just below 6%. still with us is richard kelly, head of global strategy at td securities. a lot of important writing on this fed number given that the fed ended quantitative easing. now we want to see if the u.s. economy can continue to do well without the fed support. they said the underutilization of -- is the fed being overly optimistic? >> i don't think. all they told you is we're ending kwaunlt tafb easing because we're on the back half of what we're supposed to be doing here. but they're not telling you how far away that is. that is where the underutilization comes in. there is uncertainty about wage growth and they need to see that before they can consider tightening. we think that it's probably going to come sometime around september where they're able to hike. but there is a wide margin of
4:13 am
error. >> 5.8%, is that the number we get through? that on the headline suggests employment situations are very strong. but underlying those headline numbers, are there key pockets that still concern you? >> there's absolutely issues that when you look at -- the longer you're out of the labor market, the harder it is to get in and find a job. the more out of touch your skills are. that's where these issues come in now where you may have a pocket having a difficult time getting back into that labor market. >> and we have forecasts. where are you? >> we're sitting at 239. the issue is consensus is around 230 or 235. i think markets are looking for something around 250 or more. >> thank you very much. it's good to talk to you. we'll be speaking to richard throughout the show. get in touch with us throughout the show.

4:16 am
4:17 am
following mario draghi's assurances that the ecb was poised to take all necessary steps to expand the economy. he confirmed the ecb would expand its levels to that of 2012. he tried to down play reports of a split within the central bank. >> on these reports, let me say, first of all, it's fairley normal to disagree about things.
4:18 am
it happens everywhere. just recent statements about when to raise interest rates in the united states for fomc. it happened in the uk, it happens in japan. there is a part of normal diversity. >> joining us now b, richard kelly, head of global strategies. i suppose after the week we had, we were not expecting a laugh out loud moment for mario draghi. do you think he's regained the monetary policy initiative after yesterday? >> i think you've seen the market angst a lot. they came out in september more aggressive than anyone expected. that got the markets thinking, okay, the ecb gets the joke now. you have stories over the last week of discord within there. i think he came out and basically made clear that the ecb may have some short-term issues getting these things implemented.
4:19 am
they have to figure out how the abs buying is going to happen. but over the next two to three years, do not doubt their conviction. >> we've had mario draghi in the past. in response, the markets rally. >> and i think that's -- in the short-term, at least through fed or march, the market doesn't see enough action. until then, you have to deal with 3-year-old tros, build up in anticipation and more use in margin. get abs off the ground. there's a lot of moving parts. but by the time you get to march, the ecb will be increasing at a very short sight. in the short-term, they may have some issues. >> elsewhere, not in contrast to the bank of japan.
4:20 am
>> i don't know if he's wary it's going to strengthen. i think he wants it to weaken. that is the policy of the ecb right now. they know they have very few tools. they know that can help on an inflation expectation basis. they know that can help to try to bring some of the consumer price inflation in. i think that's the issue. you look on markets, you look on dollar/yep, the boj has delivered and the dollar/yen is off. euro/er sterling, there is potential there. >> the deputy minister said he's skeptical in the case of crisis that traditional -- central bank powers to boost inflation is limited in france, he's saying. but in the sense that the central bank has less ability to boost inflation. i suppose that is a debate that
4:21 am
continues. can they have outright qe? both legally -- in europe, much less in the developed bond markets, can inflation come through? >> the central bank can help with what's going through. i think the debate over buying government bonds i think is somewhat sitting in the eurozone. i think it would be be as effective as it is. >> 0.83. >> correct. there's nowhere else to go. if you look at bunch, what is driving bunds is inflation expectation, nothing else. i think the point from the central bank is they're doing what they can. we need structural -- from the politicians and that's not being delivered right now. >> they're saying central banks have a limited capacity to triggeren flagz flights. that's not what the markets want to hear. they want to hear the central bank has it under control and they can put procedures and stimulus in place to control the threat of deflation. this in some ways could be seen as uncertainty going forward. >> there's no question about it. you do not want your central
4:22 am
bank out saying that they don't have any tools left and that is exactly the world we are in. >> we'll continue to watch the markets and see how they respond to that. richard kelly, we're going to leave it there, head of global strategy at td securities. germany, there's still no sign for the strike by railway workers. the industry is likely to have a big impact on celebrations tomorrow at the 25th anniversary at the fall of the berlin wall. the gdl union is demanding a 5% rise in wages and a 37-hour working week. >> an austerity demonstration has ended in violence. the protests turned ugly. police used tear gas and water cannons as violence flared up. 50 people were hurt and 30 arrested. demonstrators were arrested about plans to make pension cuts and raise rates to meet eu
4:23 am
targets. another fight is brewing in europe. uk chancellor george as born is in brussels to try to negotiate down the bill that landed on britain's door steps, walk into a meeting of finance ministers, osbourn had this message from the eu. >> these demands that britain pays 1.7 million pounds on the first of december is unacceptab unacceptable. i want that discussed at this meeting of finance ministers. i want it on the agenda, it is on the agenda and i will make sure we get a -- >> our uk business editor helia ebrahimi is joining us on set. we know these have been made throughout the decade. is it just the timing leading the uk government that has to pretend to put up a fight? >> i think it's a bit more than a pretense.
4:24 am
we had a revision. the sex industry and drug industry added about 10 billion pounds to the uk gdp. to cover these revisions, which are across the border, and by the way, it's not just the uk that is having a problem with this extra bill, it's the dutch, which are the second higherest and don't really want to pay it. and because of this and because the uk is growing so fast, the amount of money we're now paying towards europe has gone up substantially. i'll give you an example. back in 2010, we are paying just 7 billion. net last year we paid over 17 billion pounds. so this is a big, big cause. and the eu basically needs the money and is looking to countries like the uk to provide that money. but now cameron has said to mps in the country, i'm not going to pay the full amount.
4:25 am
>> but these are the rules, aren't they? if we are part of the eu and these are the rules, we have to pay it. the timing is unfortunate. >> the timing is unfortunate. i think the upward revisions, there was a discussion of whether it's fair to calculate it like that. but you're right, these are the rules we have to pay. and if you go back to 2008, you can see that because we weren't doing that well, we had a net contribution of 3.4 billion. but we might get to delay how much we pay. and in a way, if cameron gets to delay what we pay or pay such small tranches, so after the election for him, that's a job done. >> helia, as ever, thank you very much. coming up on the show, i caught up with adrian grenier ask asked about his passion for tech. i also asked him about the much
4:26 am
anticipated film adaptation of his hbo show. >> we all loved entourage, the whole series. what's next? >> well, the movie. >> okay. >> it's a little late, but i think you'll find it works. >> so entourage the movie out for 2015. what can we expect? >> i don't know what i'm allowed to say. >> we would like to know, which television show from any era would you like to bring back to the silver screen? john tweets, how about hawaii five-0. have you ever seen "hawaii five-0"? >> i have not. >> it was a big voe back in the days, i think in my dad's generation. we want to hear from you, what shows do you want to see being made on the movie screen. and we're just going to bring smu flashes. the bank of japan koroda is
4:27 am
speaking in paris at the central bank meeting. he said japan has been making progress on structural reform. we'll bring you more on those stories as the show developments. still to come on the show, with a bank of england rate hike looming, what is the real deal with uk housing? we discussed with a property group after the break.
4:28 am
4:29 am
4:30 am
stock necessary europe try to eke out early gains. wti bounces back a bit as the opec secretary general tells cnbc he is not panicked about the recent drop in oil prices. >> investors will boost its dividend on the back. >> we don't see any nagging from anybody, but maybe -- i think we are looking at the tradition. >> alianz leaving pimco but
4:31 am
still boosts profits. uk chancellor george osborne says he is in brussels to get a better deal for britain, calling the eu's 1.7 billion tax bill unacceptable. >> as we were just telling you, allianz is delivering better than expected third quarter earnings, beating strength expectations. and we're get something notes from the conference call. allianz's cfo says he's confident it will improve following that transition period. >> the trade deficit has widened by more than expected in september, hit by a jump in oil imports and weak export to the european union. that's what the data is coming out saying. it's saying the deficit group to
4:32 am
9.8 billion sterling from 8.9 billion in awl august when it plunged in big ticket imports. it has widened since then. sterling is back towards intra day lows, but it is basically flat on the day after. quite a significant decline against the dollar yesterday. >> absolutely. let's take a look at the european markets. they did move higher on the back of what we heard from the ecb meeting. mario draghi reassuring investors do what they can to help the economy. right now, though, a mixed trading day. we're looking at the ftse 100, german and french markets trading slightly higher on the day. the big performer is up about 0.7%. >> let's look at bonds. is the ecb ready to do more?
4:33 am
germany, 0.84% and the gilt at 2.27%. let's look in on forex. in particular, it moved 0.6% against the euro as mario draghi's concern that the ecb is united and ready to do more on conventional measures if necessary. sterling fell quite sharply. that was despite the ecb keeping rates on hold. which could provide additional headwinds. according to new research, the government's plan for a tax will have a, quote, strong impact on the primed market. let's kick off just with some general price outlook. even though prices have risen
4:34 am
quite strongly in the last five or ten years, you still forecast strong prices across the uk over the next five years. >> clearly we're coming off a low on interest rate environments. we're coming off some fairley strong performance in 2014. if you look at our forecasts, what we're saying is that prices in london in the uk will only rise by 10.4% over the period over the next five years. and that is way down, just over the course of 2014, they're likely to go up by approximately 2.5%. that's a relative slowdown in that market. clearly they're going to go one way and that will put some -- a big squeeze on affordability for a lot of people. next year, we're forecasting no price in london but again, over
4:35 am
that period, 10.4%, that's about half the average figure we're expecting for the uk as a whole. >> we don't know the exact details of the policy yet, but you and your team have done quite a lot of work on what it might look like. what could it mean for property prices? >> we have partial detail. we know if the labor party came in, they are currently saying they would introduce the tax, trying to raise 1.2 billion pounds. they also said the charge would be relatively low. that is saying that that would be 3,000 pounds a year. what we've done with that information, and knowing that the tax would be progressive if it were to come in, it's model and the property necessary each price tandem what that charge may be. it might be 7,000 pounds a year, but rising progressively to that small 1500 or so, could be up
4:36 am
towards 125,000 pounds. those figures are much less aggressive than most people. as a consequence, there is no doubt it will have an impact on the markets. we can across the board, it would cross prices to fall by 5%. it would have the least effect between 2% and 3%, but it might be as much as 10% in the much more volatile markets, about 10 million pound. but even against that context, over a five-year period, you would still expect rising prices. >> you're looking at the price of real estate in new york city. is that happening in london, as well? are you finding that some investors are getting priced out? if so, which surrounding bur roys are they moving to? >> when you're talking about london, you're predominantly
4:37 am
talking about kensington and chelsea. >> that full ham market is starting to display the content. they tend to be different in nature. in reality what we've seen is it's really stronger. through the two wealth corridors. you have one that runs north and one that runs south towards wimbledon. i think where the gap exists is between that market and the prime market. i think there people will be able to get more space for less money and if there is a mansion tax charge, avoiding the tax charge. that would drive demand perhaps into some of those markets. >> when rate rises do come through, who is it going to affect the most in the uk? >> in terms of the age group, not the under 35. the under 35 have got a high proportion in the private sector. i think some of the constraints on the market, particularly
4:38 am
around mortgage regulation will mean the numbers of those will grow dramatically. we're forecasting over the income five years, the number of private rents across england are raised by 1.2 million. the guys who have the bulk of mortgage debt, the over 65 has paid it down. they've paid down a lot of that debt. so it's a group back in the middle, it's that 35 to 45-year-old age group that have aggressively moving up into the housing markets, they've taken on more debt. and those are the guys who i think will feel that affordability squeeze as we go forward. >> it doesn't look like i'll be buying a piece of property in london anytime soon. the prices are heading higher. >> thank you very much for that. all right. a company that owns the majority stake in london's canary wharf has looking at eastern investors because it, quote, significantly undervalues the firm.
4:39 am
songbird was valued at 2.2 billion pounds. now, the rates to reach into the sky is a much covered story as cities around the world push up the highest sky scrapers. but the competition has just reached new heights. manufacturers such as mitsubishi, hitachi and toshiba are looking to come up with new ways to produce elevatorses that reach record breaking speed. this is their analysis of how quickly the lifts go up. the empire state building still struggling. taipei currently has the world's fastest elevator. but china's shanghai tower looks set with a list that can travel of 18 meters per second. >> have you been to any of those? i've been to the one in tie pie.
4:40 am
i've been to -- >> you've been to the bar? there's a great day spa. i just hear. moving on, french president hollande says there will be no new taxes imposed on french residents in 2015. he reaches the halfway point of his presidential career. hollande says he would not run for re-election unless he successfully cut the nation's jobless rate, which currently stands at 11%. >> to reduce unemployment within and i've said it myself, i promise you over the next five years i'll manage to do it? it doesn't work like that. essentially people will be unforgiving and they would be right. >> were you surprised with what hollande had to say? >> it was a difficult task.
4:41 am
this program yesterday was described as a do or die moment for francois hollande. he has less than 13% approval rating. for instance, when he assumed that the economic growth would return, that will reduce the unemployment rate in france. you promise to carry out reforms. including the pro business policy, which will lower the corporate taxes by 40 billion euros, which he hopes will improve the french competitive business from the deficit. there was a long way to growth, but he claims that the
4:42 am
government has made some significant progress by reducing the deficit from 35.2% when he came to power in 2012 to 4.4% this year. and the activity in 2025. we'll see if he managed to convince some people in france. >> 92% of pooi people say they are satisfied. the extreme right leader would whip the election in case she would face hollande in the second round of the presidential election. so yes, he is very unpopular in france. >> the developing story that we will continue to watch, stephane
4:43 am
pedrazzi. thank you very much. now, while the yen's sharp fall, there's a blow to domestic airlines driving up fuel costs. the one japanese carrier says it won't be as effective as people think. ma keyco has the story live from tokyo. >> yes. ama expected 29% increase in operating profits for the current fiscal year. largely due to a sharp rise. the district of japan on a&a's international flights were up 24% through the six months to september. and a special program that allows foreign passengers to board any domestic flight of around $100 is popular with over 50% more passengers for the period. the weaker yen has made travel more affordable. another plus with that as japanese products became more positive in terms of price, it led to a rise in international
4:44 am
air shipments up 30% at a&a. the airline has seen an exchange rate for the current fiscal year, 105 dwren against the dollar. for a&a, every one-year drop against the dollar leads to a loss of around $1 million in operating profit annually. even so, the carrier says the way business is going, it is confident that it's managed the negative impact of the falling yen. that's all from the nikkei. back to you. >> ma keyco, thank you very much. still to come on the show, with youth unemployment running high across europe, we speak to one setting out to disrupt the traditional hiring process. the ceo joins us after the break.

4:47 am
savy mobley has scrapped its third quarter earnings. it was forced to revise profits this week after falling by the maximum of 10% yesterday hit ago 27-month low. saudi mobily blamed the revision on an accounting error while at
4:48 am
the same time blaming a sharp revisioning in forecasts. joining us now is hadley gamble. hadley, the question is, is this an example of enron? >> you have here either inept audit auditors, inapt employees and a major accounting scandal in what was a blue chip stock, one of the stocks that everybody favored in the saudi market, and having something like this come on the heels of this very -- ipo that we saw earlier this week, the national commercial bank, 26 times oversubscribed, they're really flying high. and to have something like this come on the heels of that is quite disturbing, certainly for investors looking to get into the market in 2015. >> hadley, thank you very much for that. >> the web summit in sublip has come to a close.
4:49 am
seema mody is now back on "worldwide exchange." she had been at the event last week. let's talk about some of the highlights. >> it was interesting. it wasn't just start-ups and investors there trying to learn how to convene and learn about ways to strike a deal. ibm, amazon, as well as cisco. who said she was actively looking for acquisitions. i think that's telling about what's happening in the economic environment. so that was interesting to see, looking for perspective deals and plus some media personalities there, as well. you've got to say, wilfred, these guys have money when you look at some of the hollywood celebrities out there. now they want to know how they should invest it. >> and they're not outsourcing that investment to typical fund managers. they want to get involved, they want to see what opportunity there is. >> and even adrian grenier,
4:50 am
their star, he's investing in tech. >> well, i've actually created a couple of websites, platforms for a couple different things. one is for emerging artists that support young musicians who come through my studio in brooklyn and have an opportunity to collaborate and together create opportunities for themselves. and the other is a company called ships.com which has a focus on the conscious consumer. so we help to bring the best in conscious consumption for the millennial. >> why are you interested in investing in the tech and consumer world? you could easily stay with acting. >> well, for me, it's a creatively exciting opportunity because this is where the world is headed. it's all online and there's so much innovation and exciting things developing. and i want to be a part of that. >> and entourage fans, don't
4:51 am
worry. we also asked about the highly anticipated movie and when it's coming out. here is what adrian told us. >> we all loved entourage, the whole series. what's next? >> well, the movie. >> okay. >> it's coming out in june. it's a little ways. but i think you'll find it's worth the wait. >> so entourage, the movie, out june 2015. >> yes. >> what can we expect? what is it about? >> well, i don't know what i'm allowed to say. maybe i should tweet doug allen and ask him. >> there you go. >> so we would like to know which television show from any era would you like brought to the silver screen? if you want to join the conversation here on "worldwide exchange," get in touch with us by e-mail, worldwide@cnbc.com or via twitter @cnbcwex. our personal handles are on the screen now. what about it? perhaps "friends" or i wonder whether "house of cards" would make a good film. >> absolutely "house of cards." >> breaking bad i still haven't even watched yet. i have to go on to that.
4:52 am
>> definitely. let's switch over to the start-up world. there is another company that we have our eye on. vito is a tech start-up that uses a social network to bring together prospective young talent with employers. some companies have already signed up to use the platform. joining us now is the ceo of wozedu. am i saying it right, oliver? >> yes, wozedu. >> it's fascinating that you're using social media as a way to find jobs. help us understand how you're integrating those two platforms. >> exactly. we felt as though they haven't developed that far in terms of job and recruitment, like a dating site, matching people with their skill set to the right companies. that wasn't traditionally happening at this point in time. >> and you're not just matching people up, you're trying to give advice because people as young as i think 14 it goes down to.
4:53 am
>> exactly. so when they start to become commercial at that age and start planning their future from the higher education, what is the best route, what is the best educational route and really makes them aware of that. i think a lot of students from the research that we conducted, 25% of them don't have the relationship into those types of careers. so i think it was a big gap in the market and social mobility is key here. >> it came out the other end, they told me that i should be a dentist. how accurate can the dwois be for kids that age inspect. >> i was told i should away gardner. this is the point in terms of really working strongly with the companies themselves saying, look, we want very good content from you in terms of what the job is about, what the job
4:54 am
entails. we are filtering from what the company is saying, but also very strong career advise, as well. >> i think there is recognition that online platforms are a great way to find a job, but i still find from the young professionals i speak to that networking, face-to-face communication and being introduced to individuals that can help you find a job at a specific company within that's being seen as a wonderful way to find a job. how do you compete with that? >> you know, there's only a limit to what you can do and where you can get in front of and speak. for us, it's having a platform that can match that person with the right opportunity for them. so you are limited with who you can get in front of. and we are looking to play that. >> is the issue people finding the right jobs or is it simply a
4:55 am
skills mismatch, too many people doing art degrees and not enough people training to become engineers? >> i think this is another key point. it's raising the awareness. it's centralized. so having a pint, we can learn what is correct and it suggests these opportunities and these companies. >> and you're young, what has raising funds been like for you? >> well, it's at the moment, now we're exploring that. you know, it's very competitive and you need to be on your game in terms of having an appealing product that is interesting. i think youth unemployment is something that is not only in the uk, but it's something that really is impacting the world. so we're exploring that area. >> thank you for your time and good luck out there. >> get in touch with us, both on the question we asked you
4:56 am
earlier. what tv shows would you like to see made into movies? also, we will be talking about u.s. market and oil, coming up. and still to come, u.s. markets have been on a tear set for the third straight week of gains. but could a disappointing jobs number throw a wrench in the rally? we leave you with a look at what experts think the number will be. >> i think nonfarm payrolls will beat expectations, coming in around 250,000. we get it good enough on materials, but the market will be happy with that. but it could be a classic buy the rumor sell the news. >> the markets showed up a print of plus 220,000. i think we'll see another big league, plus 250,000. >> i think we're going to see a very good stronger than expected nfp this week. and that's going to help to shift expectations for a third
4:57 am
hike back somewhere toward the middle of next year. >> it's been steady from 230 to 250 numbers. so anything numbers beyond 250 and above might be a bit very positive on dollar.
4:58 am
4:59 am
5:00 am
it's friday. welcome to "worldwide exchange." i'm seema mody. >> and i'm wilfred frost. >> u.s. futures point higher as investors turn an eye to the nonfarm payroll before market open. meanwhile, wti hovers near record lows as the opec secretary general tells cnbc he is not panicked about the recent drop in oil prices. >> we don't see any nagging from anybody. but i think we are looking at
5:01 am
the tradition of. >> leaving his troubles behind, allianz boosts dividends on the back of an spec'd third quarter profits despite seeing $50 billion in outflows from pimco. which profits take a hit from china as the shares move higher? the ceo says a dividend hike is still on the cards. >> you you're watching "worldwide exchange." bringing you business news from around the globe. >> another record day on wall street, the s&p 500 hitting a new intraday all-time high despite the move on commodity prices. my question is, is it rising expectations ahead of today's jobless number? >> does that mean you don't count me as an expert? >> you're definitely an expert. or was it mario draghi yesterday that provided a bit of a boost to markets?
5:02 am
>> that's a good question. i think it's the jobs report. if you look at the move, we have not just the markets, but the bigger moves is in currency markets. and the dollar didn't just move against the euro 0.6%. it moved sharply against other countries, including sterling. we did have the bank of england's decision, as well. i think it was a broader rally. >> down about 7% since this summer. we'll take a look at u.s. futures and how they are performing ahead of that jobless number. the dow jones industrial indicating a higher move. we could see another good day on wall street. a good day for stokes around the world. specifically multi nationals. we've been seeing this hovering around session highs in the last hour just trading down about one
5:03 am
point. as you can see, off the lows of the day. diving into the european markets, mario draghi reassuring investors he will do what he can to reassure the economy. tell me exactly what you're going to do to stimulate the economy and warn off the threat of deflation. the ftse 100 up just 54 points. we did get that trade data, so perhaps investors are responding to that. germany, france in the green. italy down just about 38 points. we'll have to see, wilfred, how will european markets respond to that jobs number, as well? we know it's a u.s. indicator. again, global markets watch it closely. >> absolutely. and deb lynn in the red today after your departure yesterday. now, looking at bonds, we had yields just ticking up so far in november. people have been getting slightly more positive, slightly more risk on and with that yields picked up. bond prices coming back. as you can see, the u.s. ten-year is flirting with the
5:04 am
2.4% handle. we haven't gotten there yet. we're at 2.389%. likewise in germany, we're quite a bit away from 0.8%. in the uk, just above 2.25% again. let's look at forex. the u.s. dollar had quite a strong day yesterday. it's come off that a little bit today. the euro weak.ed 0.6% yesterday. but today slightly in the green. the yen is flat, 115.17. but the one i want to focus into is cable. we've fallen below 1.59, which is a key level yesterday. we're basically flat today. but as we were saying, the monetary policy committee is expected, kwoot a sharp falling in sterling. the u.s. nonfarm payroll data released at 8:30 a.m.
5:05 am
eastern time. the dow jones expecting an increase of 233,000 jobs last month. that is below september's bumper growth of 248,000. the jobless rate is expected to to stay steady just below 6%. let's bring in michael pervez. which really have been moving higher on the impact of the u.s. economic data strengthening. >> i would say it's always important. it also gets a little bit overanalyzed sometimes and overreacted to. because i think, you know, there is -- this number two miss and beat survey expectations all the time, i think when you think about what its impact is on how the fed is going to react, they
5:06 am
are going to be looking at, you know, broader term trends here. and the sort of broader moving averages in terms of changing their narrative on policies. it's always important, but again, it can be overreacted to. having said that, i would be a little bit surprised if we had a huge miss on the numbers given some of the recent employment data that we've been seeing. they've come in recently at the 230, 240 level. i think we'll see more of the same, which is slow want steady growth and minimal signs of wage inflation. that would argue has been constructive for u.s. equity market conditions. >> wage inflation is a key factor that people are looking for. is it one on the global factor that makes it easier?
5:07 am
does that make it easier for janet yellen to make the decision to tighten hers? >> well, that's absolutely spot on key question. i think it's a fantastic question. it's a two-sided coin. on one hand, u.s. markets are in from quantitative easing and the eurozone and japan. if mario draghi does not come through when needed to follow through on his balance sheet expansion plan. you know, when volatility sort of came out and the vix shod shot up to the high 20s. and said oh, we're looking at qe4 and it wasn't clear whether -- even if morrow draghi had promised a balance sheet extension, whether he's going to get it done or not.
5:08 am
so i think there's a neutral back stopping that goes on between the eurozone and the united states. it's very important. i think one of the key questions i try to figure out is what discount does imported quantitative easing get as it applies to the u.s. risk. because it's not the same. again, the eurozone, the ecb balance sheet expansion will come at a different way than our fed balance sheet schangz because of the design. >> you know, michael, wilfred and i were just discussing this earlier in the show, what do you think about markets trading on the back of record highs? is it rising expectations ahead of jobs numbers today? >> i think the ecb is the dominant force here inspect in the u.s., it may seem befuddled. but, again, if the were to not
5:09 am
climb above 3,000 a week ago and stay there, and if the eurozone, you know, which is an enormous economy, of course, and those deflationary forces are not effectively battled and by -- you know, in a cohesive way by the ecb, that is an ee norm yum danger to risk appetites, anyway. for me, what i'm watching to see, my 2100 stx price target at the end of the year is going to get met or not. >> thank you, michael. let's give you a rundown of what to watch this trading day, aside from the u.s. nonfarms number. humana, berkshire hathaway will report. let's take a look at earnings reports we've had so
5:10 am
far today. allianz appears to be competing with german insurers. the german insurer will now pay $20,000. this despite a nearly $50 billion falling out of its business. outputs closed by late october. >> and this number cut by surprise. the bank's earnings were hurt by a $17 billion settlement of mortgage fraud. shares in disney fell 2% in after hours trade despite a better than expected. the company says the results which are in line with
5:11 am
expectations are driven by his films including the super hero caper, guardians of the galaxy." the ceo bob iger is positive on the company's outlook. listen in. >> our booking trends are good. they're up in the quarter about 10%. that is a very good sign. so we feel good about the xooit quarter and are quited about "toy story 4." >> coming up, we'll hear about how the organization is bracing for a surge in north american oil supplies.
5:12 am
how could switchgrass in argentina, change engineering in dubai, aluminum production in south africa, and the aerospace industry in the u.s.? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex, global economy. it's just one reason over 70% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper average. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. request a prospectus or summary prospectus with investment information, risks, fees and expenses to read and consider carefully before investing.

5:14 am
oil fell for the fifth day in six after opec cut its demand forecast citing rising output from producers outside the cartel. opec says u.s. shale would've a larger impact on its market share than previously thought. steve spoke to the secretary general exclusively in vienna and asked if saudi arabia was playing a game of chicken with u.s. producers. >> no, no, that's -- no.
5:15 am
no, no. we have some statement, but i think the american -- it's with this. because the problem of oil is the quantity is not that much. you have a lot of oil in the states, you're going to explore oil in the states, a lot of producers were not interested because if you invest, then there will be no more. and that is the message. if you could, it would decline.
5:16 am
production -- >> you're underestimating technological advances with i guess that decline that may take longer than you think. i think you're talking about -- >> it's okay. american technology, i trust the american brain, i trust. but this is something that they cannot -- oil enough. >> let's talk about the united states. a couple of times, you talked about the panic in the press and you referred to the u.s. press, as well. and i would answer that. there seems to be some vitrole, some dislike of getting energy products from the middle east. do you think there is a degree of unwarranted antagonism from areas in the united states? you just don't want to have that -- >> i would not -- why -- why are you against the middle east? don't forget that the -- for
5:17 am
this story. so this development was from the middle east. it's balance of the risk. the one who created it. so you have nothing against that. we are department of so many years. >> but you see what i mean. there seems to be a desperation. we don't want middle eastern oil to be the factors which depends on whether markets grow or not. >> nobody is really independent. the united states consumes oil, consume and from inside the
5:18 am
country and which is impossible from validities and north africa. >> all right. michael, we're going to brick you back in. we have to talk about where oil is headed from here. the consumer at the end of the day is benefiting from the drop in oil. the opec general secretary denying that there's a game of chicken being placed between the middle east and the u.s. how important do we need to hear from the middle east going forward if the price continues to drop? >> i think the saw idy's action will be interesting. producing almost 9 million barrels of oil here a day in the u.s. that's closing in on saudi
5:19 am
arabia's production numbers. if you do a graph, you could almost see catching up in the pretty near future. so i think saudi's response here has been rather deliverant and focused. you know, i think one of the questions you have to part through is how much -- how strong does the past have to be to really knock down, you know, the marginal shale production in the united states to the level that the saudis feel comfortable with? i think it's a very real issue here and the saudi ves a very big strategic issue, which is i think going to maintain this position as an oil price gutter or not. we have had a fall of about 30% since the peak in july this year. and 33% in 2006 and 33% in 2003.
5:20 am
so it's not unheard of to have these guys that moved. so perhaps investors are getting too concerned about the volatility in the short-term. we will look back and think this is a temporary dish. >> right, exactly. we've seen over the -- as you just pointed out, over the last several years, nonetheless, it will have a big negative and for some people fatal impact if they're overly levered, as they build out their financial models and oil prices are decidedly higher right here. the big question is with volume dilt or are the oil bears correct in that it really does say i've been here. there are overarching questions about global dmavend for anyone's oil, with the eurozone and chinese slowdown. that is, you know, of course, a
5:21 am
very relevant topic. and whether, you know, this is simply too much supply there around the world. it's almost, you know, every country for itself right now. and different countries have different structures in the oil industry. united states is one thing. saudi arabia is a totally different company. >> thank you very much for joining us. right now, live shots from the central bank meeting taking place. that's mark carney on stage now, he's about to start speaking. we'll monitor all the flashes that come out of that meeting in paris between central bankers. now, before we go to break, let's remind you of the headlines. u.s. stocks on pace for three straight weeks of gains as investors eye the yushl nonfarm payroll report. speculators are to blame. and allianz starts off and close

5:26 am
focus on the conscious consumer. >> why are you interested in consumer tech world? you could easily stay with acting. >> for me, it's a creatively exciting opportunity because this is where the world is headed. it's all online and there's so much innovation and exciting things developing. and i want to be a part of that. >> is this impressive to see that individuals from hollywood, they don't have expertise in tech by any means, wilfred, but they're finding opportunities and ways to get exposure to that world. he did say, by the way, all those entourage fans the movie would be coming out in 2015. >> i'm looking forward to that. i have to say, i wasted a lot of time at university rushing through all the entourage series. ari gold is one of the best characters we've seen in the last decade. >> absolutely. >> so on that note, we would like to know from you which television show from any era

5:31 am
>> all is not well in the magic kingdom. disney shares slump after hours despite fallen earnings and confirmation of "toy story 4." leaving its troubles mind, allianz boosts its dividend on the back of the better than expected third quarter profits despite outflows from pimco. >> you're watching "worldwide exchange," bringing you business news from around the globe. >> thanks for joining us here on "worldwide exchange." here is a look at how markets are fairing on premarket exchange. we're looking at the dow, the nasdaq all trading higher ahead of that jobless number. a lot of expectations rising ahead of that number on what we can expect. a good indicator of u.s. economic strength now that the fed has ended quantitative easing. analysts want to see that the u.s. economy can continue to improve without the fed support.
5:32 am
let's dive into the european markets yesterday. we did see that rally on the back of what mario draghi had to say at the ecb policy meeting. today, a mixed day of trade. france just turned into negative territory. just down 4 points. the italian markets also down at session lows on almost a triple digit move on italian markets. germany, though, an outperformer here. up about 24 points and the ftse 100 digesting that trade data we got out earlier today. up just about 47 points. but, as we were telling you, it's really all about the jobs number. u.s. nonfarm payroll data is released at 8:30 a.m. eastern time. with dow jones expecting an increase of 233,000 jobs last month. slightly below september's bumper growth of 248,000. the jobless rate is expected to stay steady at just below 6 of%. how should you be trading today's jobs report? we have been asking some of our experts to have a go at nailing the number. >> we're looking for a good
5:33 am
nonfarm payrolls number. i think nonfarm payrolls will beat expectations. the market will be happy with that, but it could be one of those classy, buy the rumors, sell the news. >> the markets are all bauld up for a print of plus 220,000. i think we'll see another big up from the plus 250,000. >> i think we're going to be a very good chance of a stronger than expected nfp this week. and that is going to help to shift expectations for a fed hike back somewhere towards the middle of next year from the end of next year. >> consensus, to be strong, actually, towards the 230, 250 numbers. so any numbers beyond 230 to 250 and above might be a bit very strong positive on dollar. >> jobs, jobs, jobs. let's get into it. joining us now, patrick o'keefe, director of economic research at kohn resnik.
5:34 am
the market economists are expecting a better than expected jobs report. the main focus would be on an unexpected pick up in wage growth. what are your thoughts there? >> wage growth, i think, we'll see some marginal improvement, but no breakout there. there's still not a lot of pricing power on the labor side of the equation. so even with gains of jobs, say, over 250,000, there are some indications that may be a modest estimate given what's going on with seasonal hiring. i don't think we're going to see much of a gain beyond what we've seen over the past few months in hourly earnings or in weekly earnings. >> patrick, the headline numbers have been really good in recent weeks and months. and if, again, we get headline employment around 5.8%, 5.9%, it suggests all is okay in the uk jobs and the u.s. jobs market. but underlying, when you dive down into the base we've had recently, are there problems still that you're looking at? >> absolutely.
5:35 am
the unemployment rate is really a troubled indicator. because it can go up for good or bad reasons. a lot of the decline in the unemployment rate since the recession let go has been because people quit looking for work, not because they found it. we've got a labor force participation rate right now. that is at a 36-year low. it's been bottom bouncing at that for quite some time. so that the unemployment rate is down, it's largely down because of people having to withdraw from the labor force. and there's still not evidence. we saw a hint of it last month, but there's still not he that those who have departed the labor force can re-enter and begin looking for work. >> patrick, it was a great shot you send us earlier, the total job as a percent of working age population and that's been ticking up at the moment. some good news there. it has over the last nine months improved from what was a
5:36 am
recessionary low. but it's still well below what had been the long-term average. but the gains there have been consistent and that is some indication that we're at least keeping up with labor force growth. what we have to recognize is since the recession began, the work age population increased by 15 million people. but participation in the labor force rose by a lot over 3 million. so we've got a long way to go before we reengage america's worth force. >> fed last month said the underewe liezation of the workforce is gradually diminishing. was janet yellen not taking into account the amount of people who have simply quit looking for a job? >> no. i think the trail woman is very well versed in labor statistics. i read in that statement the words that you included, is gradually improving. that is true when we look at the employment rate. but it's nowhere near where it should be. >> we're going to leave tlit, patrick o'keefe, director of
5:37 am
economic research at kohnresnick. disney shares fell lower, but is there reason to celebrate? find out more after the break. see things in a whole new way. it's in this spirit that ing u.s. is becoming a new kind of company. ing u.s. is now voya. changing the way you think of retirement.

5:42 am
were young when toy story 1 came out. >> in general, i don't like that time cartoon movies. but "toy story" and "lion king" are at the top. i think ""toy story 3"" was the coolest. >> allianz has boosted its dividend on the back of better than expected third quarter werings in what appears an effort to compete with rivals. the german insurer will now pay out 50% of net profit as a dividend. net profit rose in the third quarter, despite a total of nearly $50 billion out of its fund management business. pimco following the departure of founder bill gross. nonetheless, shares up about 5%, the cfo providing confidence to the market. >> absolutely. i think this increase in the
5:43 am
ratio is definitely according to the investors. but there is no reason they shouldn't be doing it already. there is no reason why they should be having a payout as low as 40%. >> third quarter outflows from the manager did help push down operating profits. here is another interesting story. bank of america has cut its profits by $400 million in the third quarter due to higher legal costs from a multi bank probe of possible foreign currency manipulation. the bank's earnings urt hurt by a $17 billion settlement with the u.s. justice department over mortgage fraud. a lot of news out of that out of the uk and the fda. there was news the u.s. regulators are going to join

forces on that. there are seven banks involved. they're saying other regulators are still negotiating on that topic. it seems like we can expect more charges from the bank again. looking at the other headlines at this hour, u.s. stocks are on pace as investorses eye the crucial nonfarm reports. the opec secretary general tells cnbc exclusively that speculators are to blame. allianz shrugs off pimco outflows with a dividend hike. stamps.com is the best.

at three-week lows. >> you see how much is. >> what do you think it is? >> i think it -- >> we've had three years, haven't we? >> we've had more than three years stability. we don't see any nagging from anybody. but maybe i think we are looking at the traditionals. >> i'm interested you said that. you and i haven't spoken about speculation for a good three years plus. we saw this down to below $40 a barrel. you and i talked a lot about speculation. why is there a resumption of
5:49 am
speculation now when we haven't seen it for so long? >> i have no idea. the time spent is not that long where we have to look into this very carefully. it is about the market. it is there, but to be on -- will be okay. but to look at what happened in 2008, where prices went to $147, we were looking at them, why you have this price there is no reason. there was nothing wrong with that. now, at the same time here, we have this problem. maybe to some supply, but not that much. not as much with this decline in the price. >> oil producers are concerned about the price of oil, but there are areas of the market benefiting from the drop in the price in oil.
5:50 am
the tenth consecutive day of hitting new highs in yesterday's trade. airline stocks continue to move higher on the back of that drop. the dow jones industrial indicating an open higher. nasdaq off around 4 points in premarket trade, s&p 500 trading lower. how do you make money in these markets? here is what some of our experts have been telling us. >> the u.s. would rather have euro recovering than a week dollar. same with emerging market, as well. so what i mean, the numbers are strong, but not so strong. you see the raling continuing. maybe not a huge rally, we have had a very good year. >> in terms of sector that we don't like, clearly those that
5:51 am
are duration exposed, i think it could be problematic. you like stocks where you can have pricing power. you got the pricing power. >> i think the bank of japan will continue to unloose policy. i don't think the pedestrian is going to hike very much, if at all. i think qe4 is as much a likelihood as no more qe. i think in that world, bonds continue to look attractive. >> the ruble has been gaining a lot of attention. down about 25% against the dollar in 2014. but there is speculation out there that the central bank was holding a meeting to talk about the ruble and its resilience.
5:52 am
in fact, the russian finance prime minister says expect the ruble to firm soon and on the back of that, we are seeing the russian rouble gain a little bit of a momentum against the u.s. dollar, up just about 0.5%. >> and speaking with central bankers, this is a live shot you're now seeing of the meeting taking place in paris. speaking right now, daniel anohee, the supervisory president of the bank of japan's koroda. we've seen mark carney. they're all there and we will bring you any flashes from that meeting if and when they come. let's get you a rundown of what to watch this trading day. aside from the u.s. nonfarm payrolls number, investors will be eyeing earnings from humana and berkshire hathaway. allen joins us now. let's talk about the market which hit a record high yesterday. interestingly enough, as you take a look at the internals of the market, it still continues
5:53 am
to be the defensives. is that a concern that we're not seeing some of the growth sectors, like consumer discretionary that is leading this market higher? >> it is somewhat. it's been quite an exercise in psychology over the last couple of weeks. and the market has rebounded fully. if you take a difference in the sell-off, add it on to previous highs, you still have an upside potential of another 10% higher based on that measure. but the idu, the utilities that you talked about, that sector, that has moved up 11 1%, whereas the s&p has moved up 5% here in the last month. that is somewhat concerning because people are still chasing yields and, you know, that is usually not a good sign when everybody gets into something and it gets overdone in relative terms for the s&p. it doesn't justify utilities having this kind of strength. and when there is an exit, it could be ugly. >> allen, gold shares at a four-year low. some traders say stay away, you don't want to catch a folding
5:54 am
knife. where do you see gold falling from here? >> 1 100 is an important mid point of the run from $300 up to $1900. so we'll have to wait and see what happens there. but the dollar strength just continues. you know, and has put some heavy pressure on, obviously, the metals and energy and any of these resource stocks and any commodities. so i think the dollar needs to stop going up for gold to stabilize. but as i said before, i think the risk/reward is still on the up side. you know, i look at $1,200 on a weekly basis. we've maintained a little below that recently. we've made some new lows. let's see if we can respond. but i think the market right now, today, as traders were focused on the employment number and it's not so much how many jobs we create, it's what type of jobs i think the focus is. we're on to the next level. when we're looking for jobs that are having hires and average wages, that's happening in more than 60% of the jobs we found here in 2014. versus only 50% in 2013. so we're getting more jobs and the jobs are getting better, but
5:55 am
the market has priced a lot of this in, so i don't know at what point where good news has a positive impact any more because we've got great earnings, we've got great fundamental numbers and that's why the market is where we are here. >> two months ago, the nonfarm payrolls numbers missed significantly. and it didn't bother the market at all. are we focusing too much on this individual print? surely the most important thing is the trend we've had over the last year. that trend for employment is improving quite significantly. >> right. i think there will be limited impact, even if we have a great number.we're not in a position where we're going to raise interest rates. if we have a terrible number, you know, we're certainly not going to lower interest rates. so the impact, i think, is more back to psychology again and our overall trends are very, very positive. we would have to see a couple of months where we're not getting 200,000 jobs to have a concern. and i think this is very limited in scope as far as traders go here at the marketplace for the last few months, the last couple
5:56 am
on of years. it hasn't been a major, major focus. it has a short-term impact on the markets, but 18 of the last 22 phenomenon farm payroll days, the market has ended up positive. so no matter what you bring to the marketplace, it seems to react positively, but we get this is short downturns, and then it responds and comes right back. >> allen, thanks so much for joining us. throughout the show, after seema's interview with adrian grenier, we've been asking you which television show from any era would you like forced to the silver screen? joe tweeted in and said i'd like to see gilligan's island on the big screen and seema can play the part of ginger. seema, how about that? >> i have always wanted to try my hand at acting. but anyway, house of cards. yours? >> "friends." anyway, that's all we have time for on today's show.
