tv   Power Lunch  CNBC  September 18, 2015 1:00pm-3:01pm EDT

1:00 pm
of the ecb. both of those are going to be closely watched and parsed and trying to figure out what's what wha. >> just like it's been the last two months. it's going to be more of the same. it's going to be tiresome. >> have a great weekend. >> thanks. >> we'll see you on the other side. "power lunch" starts now. >> "halftime" is over. the second of your trading day begins now. >> thank you very much. along with mandy drury from the new york stock exchange, i'm tyler mathisen. employment, inflation, china. now, does the fed have a new focus, a new thing to pay attention to? gold hitting two-week highs as the fed stays on hold. is this a good time to go mining in this sector? and check the so-called fang stocks in the past month. what are they? that would be facebook, amazon, netflix, and google, all down, but they're all up this week, folks. have the fangs got their bite back? we'll take a look at that, but
1:01 pm
first, let's check in with mandy at the new york stock exchange. >> hi there, tyler. hello, everybody. we have a sell-off here on the street. the dow is back in correction territory although we are off the very worst levels of the day. the dow is down by about 284 points. now it's down by 235. s&p down by 24 and the nasdaq off by 48. i have bob pisani on the floor of the stock exchange to explain what is going on. i guess maybe for one day we've got a reprieve where we can stop obsessing what the fed is going to do and we can obsess what the fed said and what it means for things like earnings and revenue. >> for the moment i think what the fed was saying yesterday is still impacting the stock market. let's look at the s&p 500, we're just off the lows for the day. 2 to 1 declining to advancing stocks. volume is heavy because it's a quadruple witching. let me try to answer mandy's question. why are we down today? i see three clear reasons and you can assign whatever weight you want to any of these. first one, this is a quadruple
1:02 pm
witching expiration. that's quarterly expiration of stock, index, and futures. we had interesting volume at the open. it's hard to sort that out but that's some kind of influence. second, oil is down 4%. this is a proxy for global growth clearly impacting energy, materials, and industrial stocks today, and finally, the whole fed's message on global growth, and it was pretty down beat here and i think that's really impacting markets participants' expectation of where stocks should be. if you look at the stocks that would be impacted, ge and 3m and caterpillar, your usual names. everything is down about 2% in this particular space. if you look at oil stocks with oil down today, the big names here, particularly in the exploration and production space, the ones most directly impacted, apache, continentals and anadarko, all down 3% to 4%. finally, the 10-year yield down putting pressure on the banks. regional banks down about 3%. so a lot of reasons. finally just on the emphasis on the fed's focus, we were focused
1:03 pm
on the monthly jobs report and now all of a sudden we're supposed to focus on global economic and financial developments and i think the market participants are having a hard time assessing what that phrase means. >> yeah, and i think we're going to have a discussion specifically on that topic with steve liesman and also ron insana later on in the show. we'll get back to you as well. thank you very much. >> steve is already talking to himself over there about that very point. we'll catch up with steve in a minute, but as bob said, oil is taking a hit right now. west texas crude down $1.50, about 3.2%. brent crude down a little less in percentage terms, about 80 cents at 4828. jackie deangelis is following it. >> this is typical of the action we've seen in the last three or four weeks. certainly these big moves in either direction. now, post-fed we are tracking with equities today that uncertainty, the concerns about the global economy weighing oil
1:04 pm
down today, and that is taking over the fact that, yes, we have no rate hike and that actually could be bullish in some ways for crude because the dollar stays weaker. we're holding over $45 a barrel. that's a key technical level but we're on track for a weekly gain, almost 2% at this point. so we'll see what happens at the end of the day. back to you. >> jackie, thank you very much. to brian sullivan for a news alert. >> it goes to the oil story. it's that time again. every week the baker hughes rig counts and oil rigs were down eight. a number of rigs, not a lot, but eight coming off line. we lost ten last week. the market probably a little happen at least some of the drilling rigs are coming offline. if more were going up, that means production might be primed to go up in a couple months. the markets, if you're long oil, if you want the price to go up, you want production to come down. eight oil rigs drop week after week, ten from last week, and we're down 957 from this time last year. oil not a big move. jackie just hit it, we're at
1:05 pm
$45.53, about a time move from where we were prior to it. the rig count not moving the market. i tried to sex that up as much as possible. >> you tried to do a little market movement there, but, well, you know, could still happen. thanks a lot, brian. while oil is tanking, gold appears to be the go-to commodity right now. prices there hitting two-week highs. currently sitting at $1,137, n gaining by 20 bucks or 2% and we'll have the closing trades for gold at the bottom of the hour. let's find out what's happening in tech. courtney reg sentence followiag for us. >> the nasdaq is the best performing indices of the major three but still negative. things have gotten better throughout the session. when we started trading this morning, only a handful of stock this is the nasdaq 100 were positive and now we have more than a handful i'll say. but we take a look at the biggest mover and that's adobe. shares up more than 1%. that may not sound super impressive but it's the biggest positive mover on the nasdaq 100.
1:06 pm
the softwaremaker came out with earnings and revenue that beat forecasts. then if you can take a look at shares of apple, we talk about it a lot. it's worth talking about because we know how big ts and what an outsized impact it can have. down slightly. it's been trading in a narrow range despite the fact some ewers saying once they downloaded ios 9, it crashed their phone. shares are just fine though. >> thank you very much. let's get a check on the bond market on the back of the fed decision. the 2-year note, the yield down a little bit.0.686. let's look at the 10 at 2.15. there you see the 10-year note, the price a little higher. fed chair janet yellen saying the fed is on hold because of global economic developments singling out china, so how can
1:07 pm
china's economic slowdown affect the u.s., the economy, and the fed? what is the transition mechanism? our senior economics reporter who was in washington yesterday -- >> so were you. >> i think there's a bunch of things the fed will be singling out in terms of the impact of china on the u.s. we're calling it the china syndrome. you're young enough to remember the movie. this is china's effect on the u.s. a couple critical, not all of them, but some, the dollar. we look at the dollar/yuan exchange rate in the past couple months. we've had an appreciation of the dollar up 3.63%. that's in the last year. a lot of that coming just in the last couple months right here. that's a conduit by which china will affect the u.s. a stronger dollar makes our goods less competitive. you can see it when we look at the inflation numbers here which is the next place. china does export inflation because we buy so many of their consumer goods. we looked at imported goods, consumer prices.
1:08 pm
what you find, it's been falling at a 1.4%, 1.5% annual rate. last thing we want to look at is trade. at the send us stuff, we send them some stuff. u.s. exports to china down 4% year on year. three areas, the dollar, trade, and inflation. what's unclear is what the total gdp or growth impact is. we've seen it in just a couple tenths. maybe 0.2, maybe 0.3 on gdp. the fed he's fear is if there's a bigger slowdown, the result could be worse. >> markets have been paying attention to china for months. >> it was all about china. >> so it should not be any real surprise that the fed is also taking into account what's going on over there? >> i don't think so. now we have to watch china. guess what? the markets were already watching china and reacting minute by minute day by day to what's happening in the shanghai composite, the economic data reported by the chinese government and private economic forecasters, and all of that affected the market. really the fed is just really
1:09 pm
playing catch-up in one sense to where the market already was. >> everything is interconnected. my bet, my bet right here today, december is where they go. >> not a bad bet. >> all right, steve. thank you very much. mandy? >> why don't we take a look at all the rate sensitive sectors. for example, utilities. while it has been on a down trend for some time, over the last few days it's caught a bid and probably related to the fed hike. dom chu is here to walk us through some of the sectors to watch ahead of the next decision. i can't believe we're already talking about the next decision the day after yesterday's decision. >> you know what? i can believe it because now that it's done and there's been perhaps even less clarity about what's going to happen in the future, everybody is trying to figure out whether october is going to be that date. so we have seen some relative outperformance in some of the stocks. first of all, take a look at this etf. we'll do it through the lens of exchange traded funds. the xlu is the one that tracks the s&p utilities index. you can see over the course of the past week, up by over 2% and
1:10 pm
we're slowly losing some of those gains in trading today. however, a little bit better than the overall market but look at year-to-date, right? year-to-datewise, you can see the down trend has been playing out for a while, although we want to see whether or not traders do look towards utilities again if there are prolonged prospects for lower interest rates. take also a look at this -- well, utilities for one, but then the reits. this is the vanguard reit index. it's still positive on the day up by 4% over the past week. still again, look at the year-to-date basis, still in a bit of a down trend. this is another battleground for where the rate trade will play out. look at what's happening here as well with one other one. this is a bond etf. this is one that tracks the longer end of the yield curve. perhaps no surprise as though bond prices go higher, this etf goes higher as well. up a third of a percent over the week. remember, again, on a year to day basis you can see here a bit more of that down trend as well. so certainly places to watch for, and then on the opposite
1:11 pm
side, take a close eye on the regional banks. they could be big trades on this interest rate play. >> thank you very much. we know there will be no rate hike in september. will it come in october? or december? that's my bet. or next year? we'll talk about when economists now think the fed will begin to raise those rates. as we head out, take a look now at some of the most widely held stocks. jpmorgan down 2.5%. among them apple basically flat. microsoft down 1.5%. you're watching cnbc, first in business worldwide.

welcome book to "power lunch." i'm phil lebeau with a big story developing in the auto industry at this hour. the environmental protection agency is accusing volkswagen of rigging almost a half million cars so they will pass clean air tests with software designed to make them look as though they're not emitting as many emissions. the software is meant to circumvent clean air tests and that means that if volkswagen, as they are going through this investigation, it could eventually be fined a maximum of $18 billion. the impact of this is on 482,000 cars. the fine is up to $37,500 per vehicle. multiply that and you get the $18 billion. again, that's a potential fine. here are the models impacts.
1:15 pm
'09 to '15, jetta, beetle, audi a 3 and the golf and the 2014 and 2015 vw passat. the company said vw is cooperating with the investigation. we are unable to comment further at this time. as you take a look at shares of volkswagen, keep in mind that ts up to volkswagen and the national highway traffic safety administration to ultimately do a recall, but the epa says today ts for it is forcing volkswagen to fix these vehicles. this is a big story with volkswagen being accused of sem p essentially putting in software to cheat clean air test approximates. >> quite a serious accusation. the stock down nearly 4%. aetna upgraded from buy to hold saying the health insurer's business has been under valued by investors. today it is down nearly 1%.
1:16 pm
ak steel expecting a smaller than expected loss thanks to cost savings efforts and also lower raw material expenses. that stock plunging more than 50% this year. in trade today ts doit is down y 2%. our next guest expected the fed to raise rates yesterday. now he says december. stuart hoffman is the chief economist with pnc. why do you think the fed didn't move yesterday and do you quarterly with their decision in any meaningful way? >> not in a meaningful way, although if they don't move by december i might start to worry about that. they told us why they didn't move. it was quite a change of heart from the fed meeting in july and the statements by the chair, between then and now. clearly the global economic developments, the weakness in china, and this big drop in oil prices, you know, that's going to show -- we had a small dip in the cpi in august, but wait
1:17 pm
until the number comes out for september. gasoline prices are down probably 10% this month and the cpi will be down 0.3%. so the fed will be sitting on weaker inflation data. that's not going to improve their confidence. we think it will happen in december because there will be better economic data and maybe some settled down in the international and stability in oil prices. >> i think of the fed yesterday as sort of following the hippocratic oath which is first do no harm. i think they didn't want to screw things up if there's any risk of doing so. but is there a risk, stuart, of making the perfect the enemy of the good, where you wait a little too long for exactly the right confluence of events and the result is that you've waited too long? >> i tend to agree with that. i think you put it well. they waited. if they wait another two, three
1:18 pm
months, say december, it's probably not too long. unless the u.s. economy is much weaker in the next couple of months to justify their concerns about the global economic weakness, you know, coming back to haunt the u.s. economy, then i think waiting longer than that would get to be procyclical. if oil prices stay where they are, when we start to see inflation early next year and drop out those big drops late last year and earlier this year, those cpi numbers year-over-year are going to come springing back. i think that will bolster the fed's confidence in their inflation forecast, and they will begin a process in december -- >> stew u, between now and then december, there are a couple things that leap out to me as topics i'd like to get your thoughts on. one is the possibility of a government shutdown. we've been down that road before. they typically don't last that long. they typically don't have all that much effect on the economy
1:19 pm
or the marketplace, but the other things is corporate profits. as we get two weeks from now, we're going to start seeing them, and the outlook is not particularly ebullient. >> on the government shutdown, who knows if that's going to occur. we all hope it doesn't, it doesn't come to that. i would say it's not likely to occur but either way the fed will know that probably by december. on the corporate profits, i think that's part of the reason the fed did want -- made the decision so that the dollar might weaken a little bit or at least not continue to appreciate. clearly that doesn't show up in the third quarter when the dollar was stronger. so those companies that have international operations are going to feel that negative. you mentioned earlier some of the home builders. i think that's not going to be an issue and they're going to be some good numbers out of the home builders and businesses that deal with the housing economy. >> all right. fantastic, stu. thank you very much. stuart hoffman of pnc. >> check out netflix this year. shares of the streaming service

1:25 pm
no. certainly seem as though at least a portion of the fomc committee just woke up and thought china is weak. look at the crb and commodities? does this look like something that just hit recent lip? these are long term trends. can't imagine it will change much in the six weeks between meetings but we'll have to wait and see what turns out in october, tyler. back to you. >> thank you very much. employment, inflation, china, does the fed now have a new third focus when it comes to the path of interest rates and how serious is the china slowdown threat that rick just referenced? as we head out, a look at some of the big china-related etfs right now all down today more than 1%. it's intelligent enough to warn of danger from virtually anywhere. it's been smashed, dropped and driven. it's perceptive enough to detect other vehicles on the road.

hello, everyone. i'm sue herera-here is your cnbc news update at this hour. israel is stepping up security today after palestinian leaders called for a day of rage. 800 extra police and undercover

1:30 pm
wildlife. the second in line to the british throne has been a patron of the trust for nearly a decade. and a very good cause ts. that is the cnbc news update at this hour. back to you. >> thank you very much. we have session lows now for the s&p 500. let's take a look at where it stands right now and what may be more alarming than that decline of 1.25% is the breadth on the s&p 500. really four out of five or more of the stocks in the s&p are negative on the day. it is a broad sell-off affecting the s&p, not concentrated in a couple big names. gold, two-week high there is. closing up $20 an ounce or 1.8% at $1,137.40. jackie deangelis is following it for us any nymex. >> probably fueling the rally is short covering, commitment of traders showing we don't have new buyers in this market but post-fed we are seeing a big bounce today. what's interesting is traders told me they weren't expecting
1:31 pm
to see a big move today because they knew that a rate hike would be imminent even if we didn't get it yesterday. the commentary now leading them to believe that that may not be the case. it could be pushed to 2016 and that's giving gold a little bit of a bid here. still, resistance at $1,150. 2r5 traders are still leery how high gold can go. >> thank you very much for that. the dow is currently backsliding a little bit as well. down by 245 appointments. the s&p, as ty was saying, sitting around session lows, and the nasdaq down by 1%. let's zero in on the nasdaq. courtney reagan joins us from times square. >> much of the week was a waiting game for the markets, the nasdaq included. we are lower on the session down a percent for the nasdaq but we will still likely end the week with slight gains at least on the nasdaq. it is friday and we have a couple hours left to go. i want to zero in on shares of vertex down more than 6.5%. a couple pieces of news moving
1:32 pm
the shares. number one, law firm levi and kozorski is investigating the board of directors for a possible breach of fiduciary duties. there's a piper jaffray note doubting that vertex could be an acquisition target of gilead, possibly also playing into the weakness we're seeing in those shares. and then if you take a look at some of the data storage names, western digital and sandisk, western digital down more than 5%, san desk dodisk down 4%. these are outsized losers at the nasdaq. last but not least, i want to talk about facebook, down just absolutely, but we saw some interesting moves throughout the session. we started lower. we actually broke into positive territory for shares of facebook before sliding back down. the company, of course, saying that it will or hopes to launch a version of facebook for the workplace by the end of the year after 100 companies, large and small, have tested it. tyler and mandy, back to you. >> thank you very much for that,
1:33 pm
courtney. the reaction to the fed's decision is generally down today for stocks. how should you be reacting? joining us is matt tuttle. thank you very much for joining us, matt. it's weird, we had all this volatility going into the decision and fears over potential rate hike. now we don't get a hike, we've still got volatility. what do you feel the market wants here? >> i think the market wants some certainty. you know, at this point we can debate back and forth whether interest rates should be higher or not, but we know the fed is going to eventually do it. we know that's going to cause some pain to some people, and we've just gotten to a point where just do it already. you know, all this uncertainty is now contributing to a lot of the volatility that these guys are trying to avoid. it's just crazy at this point. >> yeah. a lot of people feel there just wasn't a clear and strong message from janet yellen either, which adds to the confusion. when we spoke to you i think it was about a week or so ago, matt, you were saying you had
1:34 pm
zero stocks. your pretty heavily invested if treasuries. do you see any change to that allocation anytime soon? >> no. we were sitting there yesterday in cash and treasuries so, you know, my etfs love what the fed did. they're making our shareholders money, but, you know, i don't see anything yet to change that position. we're looking at 2020 on the s&p 500 as the level if the s&p breaks above that, i think this correction is over. and then we might look to get back in, but, you know, we think we might hit 1930 before that happens. >> okay. so it sounds like you're not wanting to buy stocks at these levels. let's bring in john buckingham, chief investment officer at fm capital. what do you do from today onwards? >> well, you don't change anything in your long-term asset allocation mix as far as i'm concerned. keep in mind this week stocks are pretty much flat right now from the start of the week. yes, we've had a lot of
1:35 pm
volatility, but i don't think the fed did anything that wasn't expected given that we had a 28% chance of the fed raising rates heading into the meeting. what changed, of course, was maybe the focus on the global economy, but of course they have to look at the global economy. they have to consider what's happening with commodities and now that's going to impact growth here and, frankly, on the inflation side of the equation as well. i don't think you change anything. if anything, stocks got a little cheaper today, and relative to where we are on the interest rate spectrum, i'd rather have a portfolio of dividend payers like i have yielding 2.8% than be investing in treasuries or cash type instruments. >> do you think though, john, anything is going to be significantly better on both the global front and the inflation front by december enough to hike? >> well, that's the $64,000 question. it's sort of a 50/50 at this point. as a value investor, value stocks actually tend to do well when the fed hikes rates. i might prefer they do it sooner
1:36 pm
rather than later and to get the uncertainty out of the way. it might be a nice thing to do, but, boy, i agree with you, it doesn't look like much is going to change between now and then, so maybe we're talking 2016. but, again, i keep coming back to this issue of valuations are attractive when you think about yields. dividend yields over 2.2% on the s&p 500, contrast that to what you're getting on a 10-year treasury today at 2.15% and when you think about stocks, if you invest in value stocks and you have a ten-year time horizon, on average going back the 925 periods, there's only been two periods in rolling ten years where stocks have been down over that ten-year time tram. >> and i know you like when you're talking about value stocks, you like national oil well varco down 40% year-to-date. you also like apple. thank you very much john and matt. you can go to powerlunch.cnbc.com to see what john's underweights are in this market. that's powerlunch.cnbc.com.
1:37 pm
tyler? >> thank you very much. uncertainty grips the markets one day after the fed decides to hold rates. how will the fed's new decision that focuses on global markets, if that is what ts play out with investors. some insight from steve liesman and ron insana. there has been a lot of tut tuting. >> good word. >> about the idea that the fed is not only looking at its two congressionally ordered mandates on price stability and labor market sort of economic growth, but now has a, quote, third mandate in some people's phrasing to pay attention -- >> this gentleman is so polite because yesterday he referred to the notion as silly. i have another word for it that we can't use -- >> mandate is maybe not the right word. >> i brought a little history with me -- >> did you? >> not a lot of people do this and certainly some of the people you were talking to yesterday
1:38 pm
didn't have any idea what the history looked like. if you go back to t1973 these ae the events the fed has been forced to consider over 40-some years. >> those are overseas. those are not american things. >> yes, the iranian revolution -- >> lit tan ameriatin america. >> we stopped raising rates and the treasury intervened to support the pay show. asian currency crisis. '98, russia long-term capital. fed cut rates. greek crisis -- >> i think a more interestingly salient point is this -- >> thank you. >> -- is the idea that the market was already reacting to china. joosk. >> and the fed was playing a little bit of catch-up and it may have put a little too much ketchup on in the sense -- this is where we want to focus the deor where investors should. they think it's overstated, it's not possible for china to really have that huge of an impact on
1:39 pm
the united states, and that this is something ultimately that ends up being transitory and works its way through. it's not a global downdraft that will happen because china is going down -- >> but there are people who fear two things in china. number one, a true hard landing which would disrupt emerging markets and, two, systemic financial risk in china because their banks are in far worth shape than ours were in 2008. >> why do you think the market it's in asia sold off as sharply as they did? is it because of what the fed said about china? >> my take is that we have the problem of the two-handed economist in janet yellen at the moment. on the one hand, the employment mandate is being met. on the other hand, china is weaker than we thought. you have this issue where, okay, they could still raise rates as early as october, which she said, but most bond market participants are looking at 2016
1:40 pm
as a likely rate hike period because of the uncertainties over the global economy. i think people walked away more confused. >> i would just add one thing which you inter hinted at, tyler. what they call the signal value. when the fed hikes there's a positive economic signal. when it doesn't hike -- and the question is did they know something we don't know. >> exactly. >> and if i had a follow-up yesterday, i would have said, madam, chair, what do your models show for what the potential tail risk is for the chinese economic slowdown or worst case scenario. we don't know the answer. >> spell it out for us. >> we have jim bullard on "squawk box" on monday and we'll ask him that question. >> he has changed his mind routinely. >> whatever his opinion is i want to know what his modeling shows is the potential. i have heard three or four tenths, which is not nothing. it's not a long-term -- >> the other thing about stock market reaction, over the last couple years the stock market has gotten it wrong immediately
1:41 pm
after the fed and then they find their footing again after they reinterpret what the message is. >> have a great weekend. you're going to play a gig to tomorrow in teaneck. >> mexicali. >> two sets of the grateful dead. >> mandy. >> i think steve liesman takes the quote of the day with perhaps a little bit too much ketchup on the plate. talking of market reaction, whether or not they're getting it wrong the day after the fed decision, we're down by 254 on the dow. so we're moving back down towards session lows and traders are very quickly turning to the upcoming earnings season as something also to latch onto. what is the jut looutlook for t earnings season. the early signs tend to be a little troubling at the moment if you look at the estimates. do not go away. >> the cnbc trend tracker live data board is brought to you by the cme group. moment to take a pill?

welcome back to "power lunch." shares of freeport-mcmoran are down 9% right now standing out as the worst performing s&p 500 stock. the miner said it has brought in $1 billion through a sale of its shares. it also disclosed plans to raise another $1 billion as the company looks to raise cash amid weak commodity prices overall. this secondary offering raising more capital putting pressure on these shares. of course, they have been in a down trend for quite some time. >> thank you. let's take you through a couple business headlines. boeing insourcing some of the work on its 747-8 jumbo jet after ending an agreement with the supplier triumph group.
1:45 pm
qualcomm has cut more than 1300 jobs in san diego and hundreds in other markets, and the restaurant chain buffalo wild wings ending an ad campaign featuring the comedian steve ran i did i did after he admitted to lying about being in the world trade center during the september 11th attacks in 2010. with the latest fed decision done and out of the way, traders are quickly turning to the upcoming earning season. what is the outlook? the early signs are not particularly rosy. bob pisani, we know a lot of drag will come from energy. how much is, of course, remains to be seen. i am wondering how much we'll have to bring down estimates for other sectors like financials. >> that's the concern. now the fed has the decision out of the way, we look at earnings and, unfortunately, we're not getting a lot of help here. so take a look at the numbers right now for the third quarter.
1:46 pm
we're expected to be down 4.4%. this is the s&p 500. that number was supposed to be positive, folks, for the second half of the year and it's not happening. revenue is not doing anything either. down 2.9%. that's also a major problem. as mandy said, a lot of this disappointment is due to what's going on in the energy space. look, energy earnings expected, that's not a typo, 65% to the downside. if that was out, the s&p would have a positive earnings. so that's how big it is and materials, you know about the global commodities collapse. that's to the downside. what's going to help us? the street is pinning their hopes on consumer discretionary, financials, and health care. consumer discretionary is looking pretty good. home building doing pretty good. retailers fair, some winners and losers. ha health care is okay. the concern is the financials. they were thinking interest rates were going to be higher and that would help some of the earnings, some of the companies, but that may not be happening. you saw interest rates not doing
1:47 pm
anything the last couple days and as a result you can see some of the regional banks getting hit heavily here and i think this is concerns overall that the earnings estimates may be a bit on the high side. so what is going to happen? near term we're going to have to hear from some big companies. there's a few companies next week that have unusual fiscal years. so lennar, auto zone, and nike will have some comments next week. these are great companies, mandy, to talk about because they're all consumer names. so what i need to hear is some more information about the state of the consumer and the global economy. and what we really need to hear is a little bit of top line growth. we're not getting it and, frankly i'm not terribly optimistic. it's the missing ingredient. you cannot cost cut your way infinitely to earnings growth. you do need top line. we didn't get it in the first quarter. we didn't get it in the second quarter, and i'm still waiting. >> it's the secret sauce. it's what we're waiting for. thank you so much, bob. tyler, over to you. >> dick fuld and ken griffin
1:48 pm
just set a record in the real estate number. >> we're going to start with ken griffin the ceo of citadel, set a record, the highest price ever paid for an apartment deal in new york city. he bought three full floors of a new luxury tower under construction off central park call 220 central park south, he bought 18,000 square feet, includes a main residence and several other apartments. they're going to be used for staff quarters and guest suites. total price about $200 million. now, that's more than twice the current record. that was paid by hedge funder bill ackman for the penthouse of another condo tower. dick fuld is back in the deal news. he auctioned off his ranch in sun valley yesterday for more than $20 million making it the most expensive home ever sold at auction. we don't know the buyer or the exact price. we're told the buyer is from the pacific northwest. there were six bids at the sale held by concierge auctions. the property is 71 acres right on the big wood river. >> what a beautiful place.

here are this hour power points. stocks taking a leg down this hour. the s&p 500 hitting session lows and the dow moving back closer and closer to its session lows. energy, financial, and materials the three biggest losing sectors but there are some bright spots. viacom is the biggest winner the s&p up 2.5% and adobe systems is up 1%. if you missed any of the big stories, visit powerlunch.cnbc.com. ty? >> mandy, still ahead, we've got five big opportunities for you on this down day, and as we head out, take a look at the dow 30 stocks. goldman, merck, jpmorgan, among the biggest losers. all down more than 2.5% or so.
1:53 pm
"power" is back in two minutes.
1:54 pm
1:55 pm
all right. we've got a big friday hour ahead including more on this fed hangover. stocks taking a friday swoon. we are at session lows. plus, the ceos of one of
1:56 pm
america's hottest biotechs is in the house. we'll ask him if his drug trials are going as well as the market thinks they are. and if you're invested in gold, you'll want to hear where it's going. we're not done yet, mandy. >> you ain't seen nothing yet, brian. quick check on the markets. we're sitting around session lows. currently down 281 points on the dow. 28 points to the downside in the s&p. and the nasdaq is down 62 points. so trust me, they're not cheering for the fact that the market is down there in the background. there's other stuff going on. let's bring in ben willis princeton securities group and peter costa, president at empire excuse, also a cnbc contributor. brian was mentioning the leg down we're seeing in crude today. how much of the overall market's move lower is seen through the prism of what's happening with crude? >> do you want to start with that? >> yeah. >> i think the great deal of it
1:57 pm
is the move in oil. in terms of the last several months, oil has moved the equity markets, but then we tend to separate after it's had its effect. what we're seeing right now is a continuation of the down move in crude, but there's a lot more going on including the quadruple expiration. >> that's another thing bob mentioned, cashin mentioned as well. the fed voiced concerns about global growth. is today's reaction what you would expect then, peter? >> absolutely. and i think that one of the things that, you know, we haven't mentioned that much about is the fact that the fed is -- doesn't have clarity. there's still not clarity. they're still not saying -- they're telling you what they're looking at and the pieces of the puzzle that they use to put it together, but they still haven't come and said december we're going to do this, january or february next year we're going to do that. they never give you clarity. >> that would be way too much to hope for. >> it would be too simple. this is not a simple thing.
1:58 pm
>> what happens next week? a number of fed speakers which may offer more clarity on the fed's mechanism of thinking. >> to lead us in a direction to make us believe that there was a strong likec likelihood they we going to raise rates. i believe that the fed when they finally do let rates start sto normalize will be an indication of a buying opportunity in the equity markets and will cause a rally because it's taking the indecision. what we've left ourselves is the leaders of our central bank don't know what they want to do and that's what the market is telling us. >> a vote of confidence in the economy. >> it's also the fact that the data sets they're looking at are still not getting -- they're not getting the strength they want and if they don't get that strength, this may take -- we might be late into the second quarter before we have any kind of movement. i think it should be done now only because i think we should get it out of the way.
1:59 pm
if you look at what they're looking at and they have a much bigger picture -- >> they're backing away from the data that has proven -- it's met their standard and they're backing away. they're becoming the central bank to the world rather than the mandated central bank to the united states and they missed that opportunity and now they're drawing in the effects of emerging markets and third-world markets which, quite frankly, is what china is. their stock market is a third-world stock market. so you can't -- now you're adding that to the equation saying we're going to use hard statistics but not for everything. >> that's almost dangerous to add into the equation. let's get short-termist here. beyond today, what happens on monday. we come back to work, what is the market going to do? >> if i knew what was going to happen on monday, i would not be talking to you. i would have gambled my family's fortune and made that bet. it's a hard call. it was 50/50 yesterday, but knowing that they didn't do anything, i knew the market would eventually go down and obviously that played out today.
2:00 pm
i think you'll probably see a lot more volatility next week which that doesn't really take a genius to figure that out. but i'm thinking that the market is going to be weaker. i think oil is still -- like ben said, oil is the driver. we're not getting supply and demand is completely out of whack. you have so much supply. oil will stay weak for a good period of time. i think that's going to play a lot into what we do next week. >> yeah. >> if i had to have a position going in, i would go home long on a close like this from a market that's being oversold. you're at -- obviously that's a high-risk trade but for the rest of the week because you have fed heads, european central banks, a second quarter gdp and the volatility that will remain in the market because the federal reserve has left that volatility in the market by not making a decision. >> great to talk to you. we're currently down almost 300 points. tyler, brian, i'm going to hand it back over to you. >> thank you very much. it's going to be an interesting two hours as the dow closes in on a 300 point decline.
2:01 pm
that does it for the first hour of "power." brian, melissa, take it away. >> thank you very much. it's 2:00 on wall street. 1:00 p.m. in minnesota. the dow and oil are both down big. stocks are at session lows and look at this chart. you heard it referenced just a moment ago in the interview with mandy that oil has been leading the market. we have talked about this for months. you can see both were weak pretty much most of the day, but about a half an hour ago the price of oil really took a turn down. it's now more than 4% off its highs. the dow also bringing it down. the dow is about ready to be down 300 points. we are off 296 right now to 16,378. happy friday, everybody. i guess, hello. melissa lee is at the nasdaq. there's a lot to do and bob pisani joining us right now. i want to bring up a chart. you probably know this in your head, it's a five-day chart of the dow and what is very interesting when the market sold off this morning, i looked and thought, my gosh, we just gave
2:02 pm
back almost everything we gained over the previous four days. in other words, the market sort of rescinded all the four-day fed buildup. >> another reason not to trade actively in an uncertain market. stay in or stay out, but trying to time the market isn't working. take a look at the s&p 500. brian is right, i will give you the reason the market is down, but he hit it right at the top. 2 to 1 declining to advancing. volume is heavy because the quadruple witch. why are we down? we had some very strange movements this morning in the markets here. this happens on quadruple witch. we can't figure out what the impact is from quadruple witch but there was some impact. oil is down 4% and brian is right a proxy for global growth. and finally the fed's message for global growth, letting on they're more concerned than we thought about the global growth situation. he sue th you see that with ge, 3m, and caterpillar. when oil is down 4%, these are the ones most impacted.
2:03 pm
denver is down 9%. 4% or 5% in the emp names. with the 10-year yield down in the last couple days, there's pressure on banks because their earnings were supposed to be higher because interest rates were supposed to be higher. that might not happen. regional banks are getting hit today. brian, a number of reasons why i think the markets are weak. what i'll be watching right now is the market on close sell or buy imbalances. it's going to be -- ts a quadruple witch. we'll have heavy volume. these are among the biggest volume days of the year at the close. so we'll see what's going on. i'll keep an eye on all that. >> before i let you go, on a quad ruppiruple witching day it possible we could get a big swing either way. >> yes. the problem is it's really very difficult to figure out. what the market participants try to go do in posting these orders if there's an unusual balance one way or another to buy or sell, they advertise saying there's an imbalance here, come on the other side. if there's buy imbalance,
2:04 pm
sellers, come on in. so they try to stamp it out, any of the volatility but he get a lot of volume and sometimes some price swings as well. >> the sellers are in and they're drinking your beer right now. bob pisani thank you very much. let's get more on oil. jackie deangelis at the nymex. an hour ago -- things weren't good for oil but they really changed for the negative about 60 minutes ago. >> 7nd a the loand the losses a accelerating. we broke the $45 mark. a couple reasons i think oil is down today. remember, yesterday we were pretty much flat but we had that almost 9% jump on wednesday. that was fueled on geopolitical headlines. the market is digesting it may have overreacted a little bit to the upside. that's why you're getting the sell-off. also taking into account what we heard from the fed. now there is more concern about what is going on in the global economy. of course that impacts what's happening with oil because we are worried about the demand situation. in terms of supply, as you know, brian, it appears we're slowly but surely ticking downward but
2:05 pm
not really at a fast pace. demand does need to hold up for oil prices. meantime, yesterday opec actually said that it doesn't see $100 oil until 2040. i know that's a long way out, but it's reiterating that theme we heard from goldman sachs, that oil is going to stay lower longer. we also mentioned expiration. that could be some of the volatility that we're seeing today but i think some of these other factors are carrying more weight and the traders on the floor tell me they watch the action in equities. that's what sends their prices down. it's a chicken and egg kind of question. >> it is. jackie, thank you very much. we'll see new a few minutes for the closing. pulling a peyton manning here. i want to make a point to remind our viewers of something we have talked about in the past which is this. companies give you their amount of proven reserves. i have "x" billion in proven reserves if i'm oil company xyz oil company. here is the problem. the longer oil stays down, you might see a wave of companies cutting what they consider their proven reserves. remember that $3 billion we had? well, now it's only worth $1.5
2:06 pm
billion because oil has come down. that could affect their credit lines. we've talked about this for a few months but we're nearly approaching the one-year anniversary of oil's collapse. it might have to reset the values companies are using to claim how much they've got. keep an eye on this if you're thinking about buying energy stocks. companies may have a wave of cutting their proven reserve numbers. the longer oil stays low, the worse it could be. so much news and noise out there right now. it's easy to be confused but let's try to cut through the clutter and get to what matters to you and your money. paul hickey joining us now. there's a lot of things to look at, the fed, china, oil. maybe they're all related. what's the most important to you? >> i think we are putting a lot of attention on the fed right now, and i think in the short term yesterday and the sort of discrepancy in what they said and what they did is weighing on the markets, but in the longer term i think this sell-off and weakness we're seeing right now
2:07 pm
is more of the same we've seen over the last ten weeks. we've been alternating between positive and negative returns in the s&p. if we finish down this week, it will be another back and forth. so there's worries over international markets and economies right now, but as far as the here and now, the u.s. economy is continuing to do well. i think people are just concerned about the fed as sort of having a moving target approach to what their criteria is for raising rates and, you know, that causes angst on the part of investors. >> and i think as much angst as investors have about today's sell-off, paul, ts important to keep in mind we're basically flat for the entire week. i'm curious though because a lot of people are making parallels to this year's market action and 2011 in that they believe october would be another volatile month and we'd sort of stabilize and then go into a year end rally. how does the fed's inaction throw a wrench into that playbook? what do you see for the rest of the year? >> well, the fed holding rates where they are is dovish, especially for equityings and more importantly growth stocks.
2:08 pm
in that respect you could say, yes, that's good for a rally into year end. in the short term, i think more prunes is warranted. the end of september is historically one of the weakest times of the year, the last 12 days of september. s&p averages a decline of 1.5%. technology, consumer discretionary and materials have averaged declines of over 2%. it's a weak period for equities, and look back like you said, 2011. we had the steep sell-off in august and it took time for the market to stabilize. when you see steep sell-offs, the market usually -- it ends up in the long run being a good buying opportunity but in the short term you see a back and forth action with big swings like we're seeing now. we saw it in 2011. the initial decline was in august and the market didn't rally until mid october. so i think you're going to see ups and downs here and especially worries over earnings as we get into the end of the
2:09 pm
third quarter. companies are going to be issuing warnings, especially companies with international exposure. >> you know, it feels like, paul, the fed is kind of like when you're a kid and maybe your parents say if you get five "a"s in a row we'll buy you that bike. you come home with five "a"s and then dad is like you have to mow the lawn for a couple weeks and then you get the bike. it's like jobs and inflation. china came out of nowhere. are you disappointed by the fed, paul? >> like you said, in her comments yesterday, employment is doing well, economy was better than expected in the first half. you know, and inflation is downward pressure on it but it's transitory they said. and then they said they don't respond to markets. well, i think that's what they did there and i think they sort of caved to international pressures. like you said, china has been weak for years now. it's been weakening. this isn't necessarily new. and in the commodities sector it's not like -- oil certainly has collapsed in the last year, but the commodities prices haven't been -- that bear market there started a few years back.
2:10 pm
this is not new news here. may have accelerated a little bit but i think the fed is just bowing to the markets here which in the short term is a worrisome thing. >> you can't be pushed around by china. you can't be pushed around by the stock market. that is not the fed's edict. maybe the bond market can push the fed around a little bit but -- anyway, we have to go. paul hickey, thank you very much. have a good weekend. >> take a look at the fang stocks here. wee talking facebook, amazon, next fltfli netflix, and google. they're down today but outperforming on an overall basis. is it best to stick with what's working? ken sanna, rob sanderson, great to have you both with us. in terms of what has surfaced as new concerns or maybe old concerns highlighted by janet yellen for the markets and that would be sort of the knock from china and emerging markets here
2:11 pm
on our economy, do any of these stocks, these fang stocks, really depend on global gdp growth to grow their own earn snti earnings? >> to some extent. to the extent these platforms have scale, they have data, they're willing to deploy that data and show them where they can get more efficient return. even if things get a little bit more tough on an absolute or macro basis, i still think these guys are performing well for a reason. so i still favor sticking with them. >> rob, when you speak to investors out there, what is their sort of temperature when it comes to these stocks. do the stocks go down on the notion they have been outperformers and therefore they are a source of fund stocks going forward? >> i think we've seen some of that already. if you look through the volatility into late august and into early september, netflix, for instance, was a big underperformer having been the best performing stock in the s&p
2:12 pm
for three years. i think there was a lot of derisking and hit these stocks. to ken's point, these are great secular stories. talking to investors, there's a recognition that, you know, there will be macro volatility but there's strong long-term stories and people are more likely to be looking for areas to build positions and buy on weakness and i think stick to winner's mentality. >> i want to switch gears and ask you about alibaba. it's an internet stock. getting hit hard. also a china related stock. the lockup expiration up to 64% of its shares outstanding could be coming to market on monday. what do you advise investors here? is it going to be treacherous? >> yeah, i think it's still a difficult pathway out here for alibaba. the lock up i don't think is one of the things investors need to worry about. almost 800 million shares there of softbank. we know what's going to happen with the 384 million yahoo! shares and the founders are almost 300 million.
2:13 pm
there's probably not a lot of incremental supply on monday. i think the biggest risk is the potential for a devaluation of the currency in china and that's one thing we're focused on. i think it could hurt the conversion of funds back to u.s. dollars and the pe multiple, but in terms of a consumption slowdown in china, i don't think that that's what's in the cards. it's really how does china manage their monetary policy. >> all right, guys, we have to leave it there. thanks so much ken and rob. appreciate it. >> thank you. up next, the fed is going global and so so are we. citigroup's chief global strategist joins us ahead with his take on the biggest risk to your money right now. and, of course, we are keeping a big eye on the markets. stocks deep in the red. the dow down 1.6%, but we've got some big money ideas on what you should do not only on this down day, but for the rest of your life. when "power lunch" returns. care of my heart.
2:14 pm

2:15 pm
2:16 pm
we are seeing an intraday session high for the tlt higher by 1.4%. 122 is the level it just hit. >> thank you. all right. that is what is happening here in the u.s. but check out the emerging markets etf. down about 11% over the past couple months. brazil has been an absolute disaster. the fed citing recent volatility in the emerging world as one of the main reasons it delayed a rate hike but you can't put all
2:17 pm
the blame on the emerging markets because there's one big developed market that is shooting warning flares as well. let's get to dom chu. >> there's quite a few of them out there showing signs of weakness right now, but today given the price action, we now have one of the biggest ones out there. we're talking about germany. their benchmark stock index now sits just at around that bear market territory mark of 20%. so germany a huge focus. and then there's the uk. a huge developed market and it's down 14% from its recent highs as well. so on the developed side, there are signs of weakness, especially in europe. here you have to talk about the emerging markets as well. russia, china, brazil. you can see here russia down 32%, china down 40%. we know the story there and what the effect has been on the market. but brazil almost in bear market territory. those economies, a lot of those worries coming home to roost for
2:18 pm
a lot of people. >> thanks so much. let's bring in stephen whiting with citi private bank. great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> how do you interpret today's market reaction? >> well, i think there's disappointment that the federal reserve couldn't provide any further clarity. they raised interest rate uncertainty going forward. there was dovish impact. they've essentially told us weakness in financial markets will be a key issue for them. anytime there's weakness, they're going to move away. they want to tighten without impact. so there was the effect on the dollar. there was the lowering in bond prices, but they also raised uncertainty at a time when i think we could basically say there's a global growth panic. they sort of fanned those fears. >> it's interesting because over the course of the past several weeks, several sessions, we've interviewed countless strategists who have come on our shows who basically discounted what was going on in china as well as the emerging markets.
2:19 pm
do you think that institutionally there's going to need to be a readjustment because essentially what janet yellen did yesterday was acknowledge that perhaps china and the emerging markets could actually have an impact on what's going on here, and it seems like institutionally on wall street that was not on the consensus view. >> my own view is that china is in the same lousy upturn that it's been. it's been slowing since 2010, and it continues to slow, but there hasn't been any massive breakdown, and i think those who have looked at the currency move as a catalyst for further deep declines in china's currency, a possible catalyst for a global trade war, that, you know, you should take a look at the currency and see that china is effectively repegged. so these are the types of concerns that i think have to be confirmed in the marketplace. now, and you also see a quite strong chinese consumer, nearly 11% retail sales growth in china, and for exporters around
2:20 pm
the world to china, the complete opposite. i think understanding this complex situation in china is key. >> steven, where does oil fall on your list of -- >> i have lost audio. >> i could sign it. i'll write it up. steven wieting are you there? i thought that was a good question, too. steven, if you're out there and you can hear us, we miss you already. come back soon. up next, five big opportunities on this down day. we've got "street talk" stock recommendations on the way. the dow is down, oil is down, we're still here and we're back after this. opportunities aren't always obvious. sometimes they just drop in.

time now for "street talk," analyst recommendations every day on stocks that you need to know about. let's do it. stock number one, aetna. cantor fitzgerald upgrading to a buy from a hold. they think it's undervalued by investors, especially because the medicare advantage part of the business, they see earnings accelerating after the huma that deal. if it gets done, the target from 140 to 100, 19% updasidupside. >> next stock here diller hitting a new 52-week low. upgrading from neutral to underperform. the analyst thinks free cash flow will support share buy back. that could be about 9% of shares outstanding at current prices. the upgrade is valuation driven. the analyst acknowledges he hasn't changed his dismal views. >> all right. stock number three, calpine. ubs upgrading to buy. they like the action in some of the recent auctions.

2:26 pm
a lot of new developments around silicon valley. it gives it 14% upside. the yield is 2.6%. "street talk" is over but we aren't. let's move from stocks to stockpiles of oil and get another check on crude. jackie deangelis ahead of the close. >> hi, brian. the selling definitely accelerating. three reasons why traders don't want to be long crude oil as we head into the weekend. we've got those and what to watch next week. stay with "power lunch." awe believe active management can protect capital long term. active management can tap global insights. active management can take calculated risks.
2:27 pm

hello, everyone. i'm sue herera. the environmental protection agency is accusing volkswagen of evading federal emissions regulations on close to half a million diesel cars. the agency says the german carmaker installed software in the vehicles to trick u.s. regulators into believing the cars met the federal clean air standards. the company admits installing the device but won't comment further. models involved include 2009 to 2014 jettas, beetles, and golfs. vw faces a fine of up to $18 billion. some rain has arrived on the
2:30 pm
west coast. the death toll from the blazes stand at five. fires have charred close to 300 acres. zurich and geneva come in on top as the world's most expensive cities. new york comes in number three. if you include rent, new york comes out on top. how would you like to find this playing in your back yard. a man in colorado found this cute baby bear cub playing in the hammock. the cub eventually got tuckered out, last interest, got detangled from that, and moved on. all right. that's the cnbc news update at this hour. back to you, brian. >> that bear video is very appropriate today, sue. >> i know ts. >> we're going to use that footage kind of a light hearted take on the market's decline. >> this is a baby bear. let's hope this is a baby bear today. >> i can't wait to see it riding
2:31 pm
a unicycle. >> brian. oil closing at session lows. let's go to jackie d. at the nymex. >> it looks it's a 5% swing to the downside on the day. we are closing under $45 a barrel. three reasons for the selling pressure today. first of all, this is sort of the pattern that we've been seeing, these wild swings in either direction and traders expect that volatility to continue. also, that expiration could be contributing to the pressure today. third, of course, the fed, concerns about the global economy. definitely spooking traders at this point because they're worried about demand and how that will impact the supply/demand balance. i will say this the theme is oil prices will stay lower for longer but having said that one trader told me everything could change on wednesday if we start to see those seasonal builds in inventories and, brian, not to use a song reference here, but in a new york minute those prices could go back up again. back to you. >> i like it, one could say the heat is on. jackie, thank you very much. bank stocks taking the fed decision hard.
2:32 pm
that group falling more than 2%. let's get the next move with aaron gibbs with s&p capital. >> in the short term they may struggle but no. banks are looking good longer term. one of the reasons is we're looking at good growth for next year. they're actually right now they've been beaten up. they're trading at attractive valuations at 13 times forward earnings. this is one of the lowest valuations we've seen in the major support levels for the past three years, and when you look at analysts' target prices, we're looking at an average upside of 17% of where the stock price is now versus the target price. we see some really good potential appreciation even with the concern about the fed and when they're going to raise rates. >> fundamentally bullish view. >> ari, let's go to the charts. do the charts back up that bullish view? >> they do actually within that longer term period that erin was
2:33 pm
referring to. we do have a market weight view on the sector, the financial sector. near term we think the volatility persist this is this group, but longer term we like the potential but we think that you get the ultimate inflection in this group during the next cycle. and the comparison that we're seeing here is actually what technolo went through ten years where you think technology imploded, 2000, 2002, really spent the next several years stabilizing versus the market and it wasn't a leader again until the subsequent cycle in 2009. i think banks very similar condition. if you look at xlf relative to the market, obviously the big destruction during the last bear cycle into 2008 has spent this cycle now stabilizing a market performer. i don't think you get the inflection until the next cycle. it doesn't become a leader until i think you need a cyclical reset here. we like it long term. >> bottom line, looks okay longer term, not right now, no need to rush. erin likes it as well fundamentally. ari, erin, thank you.
2:34 pm
for more "trading nation" go to tradingnati tradingnati tradingnation. cnbc.com. >> we're tracking the dollar ind index. joining us now "fast money" contributors brian kelly and david seeberg. brian, i want to go right to you. you were talking about this trade yesterday which seems counterintuiti counterintuitive. you think the dollar would not go higher. rates are not rising, dollar is not rising and that's what you're banking on. >> actually the dollar is rising today. we have that reversal. last night on the show i thought the dollar would weaken for a period of time, a couple weeks or so, but what's happened is the fed being doubly dovish, if you will, doing nothing and being dovish in the statement has now opened the door for other central banks to do something.
2:35 pm
so let's just say the fed does nothing, they don't expand money supply, other centralbac banks going to. the u.s. dollar is going to rise and that's a de facto tightening. the fed is inadvertently hawkish in this case. >> there's so many implications of this in terms of what's going on in commodities. it would be a headwind for multinationals, good for german companies. do you agree with b.k.? >> i absolutely agree with b.k. we talked about it before the segment. i think the dollar will continue in this range. maybe grind a little higher and it will effect earnings and i think q3 we're preparing ourselves for not a great earnings period. i look out and i say we're getting to a point though there's a lot of names, a lot of sectors where there's opportunity that you can start making a lot of money in going into 2016. >> such as? >> we talked about it, energy. i know people want to stay away from it. we'll go through a cycle that's going to happen. >> how can you agree with him when it comes to the dollar -- >> i'm talking about at the
2:36 pm
beginning of 2016 energy equities. the stocks that have been beaten down, there's an opportunity. there's going to be an opportunity to jump in and make a lot of money. >> what's your opportunity aside from a rising dollar? >> this is going to sound counterintuitive but gold is doing pretty well even though the dollar is strong and gold is the hedge against central banks making mistakes. that's why you're seeing a bit of a bid there. it's also setting up for a massive short squeeze in gold. a couple weeks ago hedge funds were short for the first time. now we're starting to get this rise. >> does that mean you would like gold miners because you will see a lot more leverage from gold -- >> you could buy gdxj if you want real juice. they will move a lot so you have to be careful. >> bonus pick, take a look at your screen. what would you add to today? >> i said last night, it's definitely bac, bank of america. the banks are ripe to be bought. >> you hate that trade but what's your bonus pick?
2:37 pm
>> my bonus pick, you know, i actually think oil in the very short term. i'm still long oil, it hurts today but i think you could buy the oil equities now for the next couple weeks. >> okay. good to see you. thank you david seaburg, brian kelly. stocks selling off today but we'll talk to a ceo of a company whose stock is up nearly 150% so far this year. as we head to break, take a look at some of the most widely held stocks, google, apple, micros t microsoft, jpmorgan, no surprise in the red today. stay tuned.
2:38 pm
2:39 pm
well, sir. after some serious consideration i'd like to put in my 15-year notice. you're quitting!? technically retiring, sir.
2:40 pm
with a little help from my state farm agent, i plan to retire in 15 years. wow! you're totally blindsiding me here. who's gonna manage your accounts? this is a devastating blow i was not prepared for. well, i'm gonna finish packing my things. 15 years will really sneak up on you. jennifer with do your exit interview and adam made you a cake. red velvet. oh, thank you. i made this. take charge of your retirement. talk to a state farm agent today. most biotechs have done pretty well this year. the ibb biotech etf up 18 percent year-to-date, not bad, but that pales in comparison to the 144% gain for neurokrin
2:41 pm
biosciences. of the 130 biotech caps i track, only six have done better. with us for a cnbc exclusive, kevin gorman, president and ceo. good to chats with you again although i'd rather be in san diego where you're based. a lot of optimism around your new drug, 84. it's all about tar dive dyskines dyskinesia. there's a huge amount of optimism in the analyst community about it. are the test results backing up that optimism right now? >> yeah. with our drug which is called 854 there's a growing enthusiasm. we had a long phase two program. the phase two program showed the effectiveness of the drug in patients that suffer from this debilitating disorder caused by the use of antipsychotics, and now the fda gave us break through designation. >> what does that mean? >> it means the fda will work
2:42 pm
with the sponsor to try to get the drug approved as rapidly as possible, and so it leads to enhanced communication with the fda, and really working with them as partners in the design of the pivotal study. so the fda told us we only need to do one phase three study and that phase three study is completed enrollment. last patient, last visit took place last week and we'll have data next month and that's going to be a huge event. >> that puts it on -- i don't want to use the fast track term because it's actually a term of art i think with the fda, but it speeds things up potentially, potentially, which also speeds things up on you and your management team to commercialize this opportunity. >> correct. >> what are the commercial opportunities here? >> so here in the united states there's more than half a million patients who suffer from tardive dyskinesia. we've started growing our organization internally and we'll be starting off with a lot of medical education for the docs by psychiatrists have never had a drug to treat this disease, and so it's a disease
2:43 pm
that has been going on since the antipsychotics were first introduced. >> is it too early to say what something like that might cost? >> it's too early to say what it might cost. pricing and the research we're going and the negotiators with the payors will take place after the phase three. we were granted fast track in addition to break through therapy. >> is that also something that could be insured? do you expect a drug like this if approved could become something that would get on the medicare and medicaid and the insurance companies' reimbur reimbursement rates? >> certainly. it's a drug with a high unmet medical need so the insurance companies roid that just as much as the fda does. >> that's hugely important in your industry. >> absolutely. >> doctors may not prescribe it if patients can't afford it. >> exactly right. you have three stakeholders when you're developing a drug, patients, doctors, and payers. you have to work with all three. you have to make the drug work for all three. >> outside of tardive
2:44 pm
dyskinesia, you have been in this industry a long time. i mean that as a compliment. the deals have come fast and furious, money is cheap, right? still. do you think there will be a wave of more m&a in biotech. >> absolutely. i can't remember a time in the last 20 years where i think the science that's going on in biotech has been as exciting as ts rig it is right now. you can look at it with the number of startups and ipos that have taken place in the last two years. it's creating a huge number of companies and there's a huge amount of money that is out there, as you say, for the larger biotechs then to go and partner with or actually acquire those smaller biotechs. >> kevin, it's a real pleasure. thanks very much. safe travels back to san diego. say hello and go chargers. stocks are off session lows but they're still pretty deep in the red. the dow down 240 points right now. and check out gold. it is up today but should you be

from and the people whought you underwhelbrought youet speeds. temperamental satellite television. introducing... underwhelming internet speeds and temperamental television... in one. welcome to the moment no one's been waiting for. the fastest internet and the best tv experience is already here with x1. only from xfinity. gold is up nearly 2%, we'll
2:48 pm
call it 2%. it's friday, we'll be generous. but what is gold's next stop? all right. let us bring in thomas vitiello. gold most people say little uptick in a longer term decline. what do you think? >> i think that's accurate at this point. i think a lot of the construction was short. this is a little bit of short covering. we got down to $1,080. bounced from there, got up to $1,160. that was a major moving average and we just fell off from there. we're kind of stuck in this sideways range. we don't have the long overhang we had in the buying craze up to $1,900. there isn't that long panic that we had in 2013. >> just kind of a slow burn for gold, thomas? what's going to be the catalyst, maybe a -- i know we've had
2:49 pm
currency moves but maybe a massive move in some major world currency? >> all of this fight against deflation and disinflation, it could be like pulling a brick out with a piece of elastic, maybe one day it snaps back. but until then i think gold is really out of a lot of people's radar. if the market gets short or long, it kind of tilts on one side of the boat or the other and people get forced out of their position and that's when you see this volatility based on data points. >> but secular down trend still intact. >> i feel so. we're not even above the 100-day. maybe if we get above the 100-day. we have a higher low here at $1,100, if we can get up above $1,160, maybe that's a higher high so you could start to look at it then but i wouldn't dip my toe in here. >> thank you very much. have a great weekend. >> from the gold market to the market markets all ten s&p sectors in the red. let's bring in katie stockton from btig. great to have you with us.
2:50 pm
>> thank you. >> it's interesting because today it's a hard day to sort of digest if you're a long investor. at the same time we're basically flat for the week. technically speaking the s&p 500, how do we look right now? are we looking to go back to october lows? back to october lows? >> well, yesterday's reaction to the fed announcement was not good, as you can imagine you saw the s&p 500 close near the low of the day and then of course down side follow through this morning so that's not a good thing. it does suggest that there's greater risk of a retest not necessarily october 2014 lows but certainly the august lows. that is a very really possibility. if you make the analog to the 2011 lows or bottoming process that is a real possibilities here and yet i would keep a bullish bias throughout it, the up trends are very much intact from a long-term perspective and we have these over sold perspectives that really are explosive and widespread. >> let's talk levels. 1876ish on the s&p 500 just
2:51 pm
under 100 points lower. >> if it dips below that bottom boundary i would get ever been serve ous 1935 to 1940. if we dip below that i would lit stops be triggered. >> longer term bullish bias, do you stick with what has been working, do those charts look solid to you? >> it depends on its time horizon. the last two weeks industrials for one i would say no. if you're talking about long-term consumer discretionary for one, healthcare for another, those would be areas that i would stick with long-term until they prove to lose momentum or relative strength. >> just quickly, katie, the oil move today was stunging.
2:52 pm
>> it looks like a counter trend move. crude oil and beyond they all face significant resistance meaning potential areas of selling pressure. we do need to view this move as a relief rally until we see some break outs. >> katie stock ton. appreciate it. >> busy weeks for stocks. the two stocks that stood out to us, you're watching cnbc first in business worldwide.
2:53 pm
big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern.
2:54 pm
the great beauty of owning a property is that you can create wealth through capital appreciation, and this has been denied to many south africans for generations. this is an opportunity to right that wrong. the idea was to bring capital into the affordable housing space in south africa, with a fund that offers families of modest income safe and good accommodation. citi got involved very early on and showed an enormous commitment. and that gave other investors confidence. citi's really unique, because they bring deep understanding of what's happening in africa. i really believe we only live once, and so you need to take an idea that you have and go for it. you have the opportunity to say, "i've been part of the creation of over 27,000 units of housing," and to replicate this across the entire african continent.
2:55 pm
it is time for our stocks of the week, my pick is melco crown entertainment. this gaming operator up more than 5% for the week, it is down 3.5% down, diawa saying the opening of new ferry terminal could help and it could be time to bottom fish. as you know this has been a hard hit sector. >> it certainly has. it's an interesting stock of the week as well. my stock of the week much more boring is ely lilly, not boring in a sense it's been a strong out performer, up 9% this week, had positive results from the new diabetes drug, the stock up 5%. i know jim cramer talked about it this morning, kind of a slower growth name but taking off in the market. >> you heard katie stockton she says stick to healthcare. >> those are our stocks of the week. more on today's market side. dow down 266 points right noccl
2:56 pm
now, remember it is quadrupled witching. the traders will talk minutes and days. let's talk longer term for most people out there that are watching, mom and pop. are you still bullish? is this still a secular uptrend for the stock market. >> >> we definitely think it's a secular bold trend and think u.s. stocks are mixed within a 15 to 20 year bull market. what we would say is near term people are being to reactive still and that means that everybody got their correction that they wanted in august and now with the fed what we are calling a ms. step from an investment strategy standpoint it's just going to add to the volatility heading into 2016 so the return structure of u.s. stocks although still positive we think are going to continue to be quite volatile heading into next year. >> if i'm heading your piece
2:57 pm
that you put out on this correctly, you are disappointed in the fed. what you're saying is the fed needs to be a leader and by saying what it said about global markets it has become a follower. >> as we like to say in canada, 100%. what the problem is that the fed is focusing like most investors on what was and is not focusing on what is. what is developing is north american growth is going to pales global growth for the next three to five years, we think u.s. gdp in the fourth quarter will be a surprise to the upside, the positive impact on lower oil, lower gas price right side finally stargtd to hit the consumer, it's usually a two to three quarter lag, financial stocks are being arbitrarily sold for some reason because short term investors are focused on net interest margin and not focused on the grand prize of financial services which is wealth management, fee based annuity style business which will drive the sector for the next ten years.
2:58 pm
we think america is going to pace growth for the next ten years overall. >> brian, since you brought up canada, everybody is focused on china. we pointed out a month ago that canada in recession is three times the trading partner than china is with the united states. does the canadian slow down at all impact your estimates on earnings, revenue, stock market use, anything? >> no, it really doesn't, brian, for two rnls. number one net exports x energy increasing and canada is a huge trading partner with the united states. number two don't underestimate the cross border relationship that canada and the united states have and especially on the financial side of things. there's specific banks in canada that the majority of their growth is actually coming from america, not the oil patch. so we see canada hitching its wagon to the united states much like the '80s and 90s. as we start to see the manufacturing renaissance become a reality heading into 2016 and
2:59 pm
'17 canada is coming along for the ride. >> do you stick with your year-end price target? i believe it's 2250. >> we do, mel sachlt thanks for asking. i think once reality kind of sets in and calmer calm prevails and we start doing fundamental analysis again and stop reacting to every little trade under the fed i think we're going to see united states stocks remain the most consistent earner with the balance sheets and we think those stocks will define the growth stra jekss for the next three to five years. we are going to have a healthy rally in the fourth quarter. >> a back end loaded year. >> very back end loaded year. remember, too, that this does not mean we are not going to see volatility. i think we will. 16 i think is not going to be as positive as even '15 here given our projections and we still think they will get that rally in the fourth quarter which will get us to our targets. >> thanks. have a great weekend. melissa, what is on "fast money"?
3:00 pm
>> take a look at apple, it is a relative outperformer, actually in the green and we are going to have the reporter who basically caused a buzz on the street when it comes to the apple car. what are they up to? we will talk to them tonight at 5:00. >> very interested. we will look forward to it. "closing bell" starts right now. welcome to the "closing bell" im kelly evans at the new york stock exchange. >> that's rather ominous music. >> yes, it is. >> first of all, im bill griffeth also at the new york stock exchange. not exactly a pretty day for bulls on wall street. minus signs from the get go. this is an expiration day, that has something to do with it but maybe there is disappointment that the fed didn't raise rates or they are worried about the chinese economy. pick your favorite boegsy. the dow down almost 1.4% now, the s&p down 1.12%, nasz dak less than that and there's our friend crude oil
