good morning. breaking overnight, china gdp growth hits a 25 year low. >> asian stocks closing higher. major european averages off to a positive start and u.s. equity futures pointing to a strong open on wall street. >> and whatsapp. how there trying to change the way businesses reach customers. heres' a hint. money's involve. it's tuesday, january 19th, 2016 and worldwide exchange begins right now.

u.s. equity futures pointing to 230 points on the dow. >> first sad news to deliver from the world of music again. glenn frey died at age 67. you'll know he formed the rock band the eagles in 1971. more on his legacy later in the hour and we'll be remembering him through his music throughout the hour as well. >> absolutely right but first the big stories we're watching at this hour. that's the weakest reading since the financial crisis though it was in line with estimates. 2015 full year growth coming in at 6.9%. the slowest in 25 years. chinese stocks rising in late trading. the rest of asia also closing a little bit higher. japan up .5% and shanghai comp

up 3%. eunice will join us from beijing with the break down of the numbers in just a minute. in other news out of china, beijing is denying it's top market regulator is out. yesterday a reuters report said a chairman offered to re-sign after critics said mismanagement was in part to blame for the massive drop in chinese stocks in months. we're also watching oil closely this morning. the iea out with the latest report in the last hour. the agency suggests unseasonably warm weather and rising supply will keep the oil market oversupplied until at least late this year. >> let's dig into gdp numbers overnight. big story, china's economy and it was more than just the gdp figures. eunice joins us with a break down of some of the chinese economic at a at a and interestingly why we saw the market rally afterward. >> yeah, we had a relief rally today. the gdp numbers as you guys have

been reporting came in line with expectations. q-4 figure came in at 6.8%. for the full year 6.9% and those numbers were telegraphed very heavily in the past couple of days, especially by the top leadership, the chinese premiere had said it was going to be nearly 7%. so most people were expecting these numbers which is why we did see that bounce in the stock market. however, investors as well as economists have been focussing now on the december numbers. retail sales, industrial output as well as the fii for the past several months missed expectations and that's one thing that has been worrying people. that even though we did see these numbers that came in line with expectations going forward they're still going to be trouble. now a lot of investors have been pointing out that that is probably going to mean we are going to see some pollicy that

will help lift the markets. stimulus in the form of rrr cuts or a combination of both. there's been a discussion about it before the lunar new year. >> we have breaking news right now. international monetary fund lowering it's 2016 and 2017 global growth forecast. this is the world economic outlook. it is scheduled to be put out right now and what they have said is they now expect 3.4% global growth during this year, 2016. that's a downgrade of 0.2% since the last time they made a forecast for 2016 back in october they took down the u.s. 2.6% growth this year. they expect and that is down 0.2% this year as well. everybody is talking about china. they kept the chinese forecast unchanged at 6.3% in 2016. that's less than the official growth forecast we're getting now. inner thes of other headlines i want to bring you the biggest downgrade in terms of global

growth came from brazil where it expects that economy to contract sharply this year. the imf on the u.s. says that growth momentum is now expected to hold steady rather than gain further steam. they say a number of risks and say the growth risks are to the down side this year. one of them is a sudden rise in global risk aversion. something we're keeping an eye on because of the way dploeglob markets started out the year. they also blame on emerging markets. we'll talk about this today because we have the imf chief economist. the man that wrote this report will be joining us a little bit later in the hour. first on cnbc interview to talk about why they cut growth, what the risks are and how ugly it looks given the start we had to the year. >> we'll also touch on today's actual china gdp numbers with him. interesting just to touch on that market reaction because the numbers were a little below expeck t expectatio

expectations. so far this year markets have been way more negative than the fundamentals in economies have been. today we have growth was just below 7%. so rather than what the stock market has done or rather than what the currency has done we have a bit of a rally today. it's not as bad as some people feared. it could have been. >> it was in line with what economists were forecasting. the economy has been slowing since 2011 and as long as it's close to that official growth target of 7% economists say it's okay. the other argument as to why we're seeing a rally is hope of stimulus along the way and that's got to be a big open question. how much more room do they have to cut rate ifs they're trying to stop outflows from leaving the country and stop their currency from getting too weak. >> still a big policy lever they could go with as well. >> a lot of people say they'll go supply side. >> wouldn't be helpful in the long-term but could be in the short-term. retail sales today 10.7% growth. slightly down from 11% in china.

>> yeah. >> and i think that's another thing to rally on because it continues to point to that reallocation of the economy toward that. very painful transition still to go through but still a strong consumer coming through. what does this mean for european trade? we're up in europe. a little bit of negativity yesterday. europe was open unlike the u.s. bouncing back today in line with asian markets. germany up 2%. ftse 10 up slightly less, 1.7%. as for the broader markets, we have a bit of risk on today. that means the yield is ticking up in the bond market. we got close to 2% yesterday and friday down to about 2.02 or 2.03 at one point. back to 2.06% so we haven't crossed that level yet in terms of bearishness. let's also look at the dollar board. what's happening there. more similarly as we have seen a little bit of a bounce back in today's equity market trades. we've seen a bounce back in terms of the currency trades of the year.

a little bit of u.s. dollar strength to the tune of 0.2% for the broader index. >> marching higher along the way. it's a short weak. u.s. markets were closed yesterday. but that doesn't mean it's short on data or earnings. the national association of home builders. that comes out at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. another big day of earnings. bank of america, morgan stanley and united health report before the bell and after the bell word from imb and netflix and a lot more data coming later in the week as well. especially on housing. >> netflix, we're looking forward to these earnings because over the last two years or so whenever it reports it has big moves on that day. like always in and around the earnings day. on top of that it's been absolutely whacked this year along side concerns about china and oil so i think earnings are a chance to really reassure. >> but with some of the other high flyers like last year, amazon is down more than 15% for this year. not just netflix, google,

facebook. >> but netflix earnings always crucial for its stock price on the day and this year more than ever i'm sure. in corporate news, they expect to boost fine oil production shipments this year. last year they said the outlook for commodities is sobering but strong output and strong costs should help keep the dividend in place. a contrast to its rivals. reaching at a deal for nearly $3 billion. they raised the stock offer to complete the month long fight for its rival. and royal dutch shell is exiting a major gas field project. it's up 2% today in line with a little rally in the oil price. >> so whatsapp has more than a billion users and may become more popular. >> good morning to you.

you can now text send pictures or video for free to your closest billion friends. whatsapp is dropping it's $1 a year subscription fee. they're charging businesses to communicate directly with users. that could mean your bank could message you about a recent transaction or an airline about a flight delay similar to facebook's messenger able to hail a ride with uber. also insuring user privacy. authorities criticized that saying encryption hurts their ability to monitor terror plots. it was bought by facebook for 19 billion and making online payments still remains difficult guys. back to you. >> it's not the only social media app making changes.

any other similar themes going on in other apps? >> that's right. shortly after this announcement they announced instagram would be extending advertising and ramping up businesses outside of the u.s. and this is huge because 75% of the user base is based outside of the u.s. >> thank you for that. sarah, you still look at instagram for only 1 billion. looks so cheap. >> and the numbers keep growing. when we come back here on worldwide exchange watching futures carefully after a long three day weekend. traders are coming back and hitting the buy button early. futures indicated to open up more than 240 points on the dow. 31 on the s&p. 77-on-the nasdaq after china data overnight came in line with forecasts. which stocks are poised to lead the way? we have an indicator with names you need to know about oversold conditions. we're talking technical. >> plus peter boockvar will join us on set.

with expectations. so we're looking at about 2% of gains. what does that mean for u.s. equity futures? gains of similar amounts are expected at the open. a 240 point open to the positive side for the dow. similar gains across the board. the nasdaq called to open up by 1.6%. sarah. >> wilfred that brings us to today's trade of the day. after it's worst two week start to a year ever the dow standing just below 1600. that's a key ipsychological level. our data team crunched the numbers to find out which dow stocks could lead the way if the blue chip average does snap back. here's what we found, cisc cisco visa, ge and boeing topped the list based on how oversold they are. just a snapshot based on what has happened in the past according to our data. go to cnbc.com and check out cnbc pro. >> among today's big themes for

the markets, questions about the global economy and earnings season getting into full swing. joining us is the chief market analyst at the lindsey group and cnbc contributor. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> great to have you with us. when you joined us a couple of weeks ago pretty bearish in terms of the outlook. has that changed? there's been a few positive bits of data that suggest the recent market moves may have been overdone. >> what's most interesting is that the bear market actually started in the middle of last year in small cap stocks and then spread as the year progressed. the biggest noteworthy thing in the first couple of weeks of the year is it finally effected the untouchable mega cap stocks that everyone hid in last year. so this is just to me another step of the bear market that right now we're very oversold. we're due for a bounce. we can bounce for days. we can bounce for weeks but unfortunately this bear market will continue over the rest of

the year. >> it was week and has a week headline weakest in years and headlines. everyone else is rallying built on the deal that maybe they'll add more stimulus to the economy. does that give you hope? >> well, the physical stimulus and monetary stimulus, every time there's a hiccup has us in the position we're in because it's built up extraordinary amounts of debts. so i don't want to see them do anymore stimulus. i want them to rip the band-aid off and get to a more sustainable level of growth rather than these continued steroid shots every time there's softness in the global economy. >> there's been huge amounts of steroids injected into western markets over the last six or seven years. as we come off those is that the bigger reason for the sell off? >> sarah heard me say there. no consequence that every time the fed takes their foot off the pedal we run into trouble and the rate hike was the second phase of the tightening. the first one being the end of

qe and as qe ended a lot of stocks started to top out. this is just another phase. you inject stimulus and you get this rush. once it wears off you fall back down again. i'd rather see the economy adjust on its own rather than continuing to get these steroid shots because it's an abnormal distorted form of growth that's not natural and eventually you have a hang over which we're experiencing right now. >> we know your thoughts on qe. we know you're a hater of the central bank stimulus. as far as the fundamentals of the u.s. economy though it is a little confusing to hear jp morgan out with earnings saying it's credit card business is as good as it's ever been. there's a fundamental disconnect with certain parts of the economy and other weaker spots. >> certainly in the service area the economy is doing better. manufacturing is essentially in a recession but the services part will be -- the key will be the consumer. the consumer is getting a great benefit from lower oil prices but for those that rent they're getting hurt. that's 35% of the households.

health care costs are higher. which is also a cramp on consumer spending. so as we're still in this state of the economy which is okay because it's better than a recession but it's not what we're used to and it's more of a muddled long situation unfortunately. >> are there any bright spots? >> we're finally reaching a point where central bankers are losing their effectiveness. so in the short-term it's going to be extraordinarily painful but hopefully lessons can be learned from this and the economy can adjust without the constant intervention from central bankers. >> a lot of people coming around to that view as well. when we come back a force too powerful for star wars at the box office over the holiday weekend. which movie was finally strong enough to unseat the month long winner but first, nbc's grant johnston joins us from dallas ft. worth with today's business travellers forecast.

the iea came out and said the market will be oversupplied until at least the end of the year. perhaps an oversold bounce in terms of oil. either way that's helping the vibe overall for u.s. stocks and global stocks too wilfred. >> it is, indeed. let's get to today's must read stories catching our attention.

in the financial times this one is titled how to wean the world of monetary stimulus. the author writes if in 2016 there's no shift from monetary to growth policies the future could prove more likely sluggish growth and currency conflicts and popular politics and fights over distribution. this article brought together the views of experts that argue we need to keep rates lower for longer. larry sommers who is saying the solution is big government spending on infrastructure and the like and people like michael spencer saying they have to boost productive. the bottom line of the article and brings together views quite nicely is i don't see which of the options is readily viable. certainly not in the short-term. certainly not as an outcome. that's a key reason for negativity is it is the realization that we're coming off the stimulus. irrelevant to oil prices it's

the realization that the six or seven years of central bank support perhaps has passed. >> but i like that the call to action is more on physical policy makers to stimulate growth and the private sector to step in where monetary policy left them where they have done all that they can. my morning read is from the wall street journal. it's on oil. it's titled after the carnage shale will rise again. optimism on the u.s. industry energy. talking about the technology developed here. don't write it off, shr shale 2 will be better. the riggs are getting cheaper. efficiency is brought from the greatest tools to robotics and advanced materials have yet to be deployed. this comes from mark mills and he says don't underestimate the technology. once we see the end of falling price which is it could be awhile. we'll see mergers and

acquisitions from the distressed companies. we may see bankruptcies but the government should go to great lengths to fund energy research and highlight what's happened technologically in this industry. >> huge developments. this is a medium to longer term outlook piece than any short-term call on oil prices. we're approaching the top of the hour. that means it's almost time for squawk box. michelle joins us today. most of the team of course off in davos where they'll start their coverage tomorrow. michelle very good morning to you. another day being lead by international news flow particularly out of china but although the headline perhaps a little disappointing. it wasn't as bad as markets have been. so we're getting a bounce. >> and to talk about the conversation you were just having the hopes are in china that since it wasn't quite what expectations were maybe they'll have more stimulus in china. so as you guys have been reporting we have a nice rise in

welcome back. u.s. markets having had a breather yesterday expected to open positive today. lovely to see some green on the screen. expected to open up 230 points. we're looking at a gain of 1.5% for all of these markets. taking some positivity out of asian trade and china up 3% after gdp was basically just below expectation but not too bad at all and europe up also to the tune of 2% today. >> yeah, brent up 4% helping too. the imf just downgraded global growth today for the year. joining us is the imf's chief economist here from the bank of england to discuss the updated world economic outlook. it's good to see you again. >> good morning. >> so first tell us the reason why. is it all emerging markets and commodity prices or is the u.s.

behind this downgrade as well? >> well, depends who you look at. for the advanced economy group, the u.s. is behind the downgrade. to some extent. we have reduced our expectations for growth for next year for the u.s. that being said we do still see a small up stick for 2016 compared to 2015. for the emerging markets, same. they're facing continuing challenges from low commodity prices, in particular oil prices. also geopolitical or political tensions in some countries and as in the case of the advanced economy group we do see an up tick for 2016 and 2017 but less of one than we would have predicted three months ago. >> less for 2017. i wanted to ask you about china. it's the topic on everyone's

mind after the official gdp report. you guys left your china forecast for the year unchanged at 6.3%. i wonder why you didn't take it down further given what we have been seeing in markets so far this year and out of the china policy makers and whether you think it's realistic for investors around the world to expect more policy stimulus whether monetary policy or physical policy and that's why we're rallying today. >> well, you know when we forecast china back a year ago we were pessimistic relative to markets and our forecasts turned out to be right. the year forecast for 2015, the outcome for 2015 is 6.9%. that's what we expected. 6.3 for 2016 is right in the range of 6 to 6.5 would leave

you as feasible and safe for choo in a. we're quite comfortable keeping that unshangechanged. we haven't seen surprises. >> let's bring it back to the view on the u.s. one of the saving graces is the thought that it's a consumption led economy and the consumer is strong. it's going to benefit from lower oil prices. what do you make of that view? do you think the consumer can support the u.s. economy or are there fundamental weaknesses lying under the surface there. >> well, we have seen consumer strength notwithstanding the weak outcome in december but confidence remains high. deleveraging has proceeded the pace. the head winds for the u.s. come more from other factors. one has been the very strong strengthening of the dollar which is putting pressure on manufacturing and putting pressure on trade. another has been the response of

investment in the energy sector associated with low oil prices but as far as the fundamental strength of domestic demand we remain fairly confident. >> have you been puzzled to see how unwelcome this move is in oil prices down more than 70% since the highs globally? >> the markets have reacted very, very badly to it and frankly for a number of economies that depend on oil exports the consequences are very harsh and particularly it's the price of oil that gets very, very low, below $30 barrel they have to consider serious cut backs in spending both private

and public. there's still positive effects on consumers and con companimpa rely on their production processes and are benefitting from lower production costs. >> thank you for joining us fresh off publishing that report. the world economic outlook. that's the chief economist at the imf. joining us just outside the bank of england where they announced their new outlook. >> absolutely right. we're almost done but let's have a quick look through the main market boards for the morning and we're looking at a positive open on wall street. the dow called to open up by about 235 points. the s&p by 30 points and the nasdaq by about 72 points. coming off the back in asia and europe today. >> in oil we're going to get a lot of data in the u.s. starting with home builder sentiment today and netflix after the bell. it's busy later in the week with ge and the other dow components. tomorrow we have tim adams with us. the former under secretary of

the treasury with brand new data on international flows out of the institute for international finance. that will be big news. >> one not to miss. thanks for watching. born with a hunger to fly and a passion to build something better. and what an amazing time it's been, decade after decade of innovation, inspiration and wonder. so, we say thank you america for a century of trust, for the privilege of flying higher and higher, together. ♪
