>> today we've got futures called higher. can it buck that recent trend and what is the main factor driving markets right now? >> it is our twitter question for the day. there are a lot of factors. inputs in this market right now. we asked on twitter what is the main driver? is it the price of oil? we're seeing oil rise along with futures today. is it the u.s. dollar with ch has been all over the place. weaker for the past few weeks, now stronger. is it central banks or is it earnings which are still in the middle of earnings season. >> interesting. i wonder whether the option should have been fed linked with the u.s. dollars. >> i gave central banks on option. you -- we can't add a fifth option but i would start to add in political uncertainty.

not just the election here in the united states. but also the brexit risk. political uncertainty is elevated and that has to be a concern. tobias left kwich put out a note for the three main concerns, the sustainability of the commodity rally, namely oil and a lot of that has do with the weaker u.s. dollar. the fact that earnings aren't giving enough boost to the market in terms of revenue growth. and political uncertainty. >> fascinating. we'll bring you what jim cramer reports later. st. louis fed president james

out. i want to see them make the model 3 and sell it profitably. i don't think they can do it. >> one view on tesla and this is a controversial stock. somewhat of a confusing stock because as chanos eluded it is all about the expectation for future growth. when you have a stock trading at so many earnings --. >> i agree. and the fascinating thing about this which you said on the show yesterday anyway is it's become a supply stock. not a demand stock. particularly since they announced the model 3 and those initial uptakes and people putting deposits down for it. this is now a stock depending whether they can deliver to meet demand. for something that is still early stage product. electric vehicle. we've got them out there now but not everyone wants one. it is fascinating achievement that this is now can they deliver the number of vehicles.

>> they don't have a demand problem. like apple. plenty of demand and people signing up. can they get the production? >> not quite like apple. >> they have similar issues when it comes to supplier. used to. >> when they have those big product launches. >> many of the nation's retailers will report april same store sales today. costco april comps were flat. analysts had been looking for a slight increase. share price also flat. >> some deal news. tribune's publishing board doing stuff. tribune says it will proceed with a strategic plan to revive its primp business and tap growth in digital content alone. australia giving the green light to anheuser busch's

reckless behavior. back to our twitter question, clearly he thinks the fed is the main driver behind markets and it is a sort of temporary and unsustainable type stimulus for equities. >> and i think that view resonates with a lot of people on wall street who've been critical of the fed that they are not fulfilling their mandate. and druckenmiller said this. they are just trying to prevent a drop in the s&p 500. and yet the fed put out this very cautious tone of the next pace of rate likes. david einhorn also made some calls. he's short caterpillar and long general motors. >> there we go. >> let's switch focus in global news. the uk goes to the polls today.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." good morning to you. this morning it is official. we can call donald trump the presumptive republican nominee. even though he's still a bit short of the delegates he needs to secure the nomination. that is the easy part. what's harder is pulling the party together after a rough and tumble primary season.

tracie potts has the story live from washington. >> hi there wilfred. good morning everyone. you are absolutely right. after this primary season the challenge for donald trump is going to be getting people to support him. he's already halfway there. more than halfway there. he's got half a dozen key republicans here on capitol hill including the top senate leader mitch mcconnell now endorsing him, but they have got some work to do to fully bring this party together. these are republicans burning their membership cards after john kasich calls it quits. >> the lord has a purpose -- >> reporter: leaving donald trump the last man standing. trump has a being challenge uniting a party where key players aren't backing him. both bush presidents announced they won't weigh in at all. and this from massachusetts governor. >> some of the things he said

about women and muslims and religious freedom i just can't suppo support. >> reporter: trump is already getting calls of support from people who criticized him. >> one call said such bad things, i said frankly how can you pivot back to me? he said don't worry about it. they're politicians. don't woor about it. >> reporter: hillary clinton said bullying. a taste of what voters might expect this fall. and don't count out bernie sanders yet. he's still out there campaigning. in fact wilfred he just opened an office in kentucky. they are voting later this month. >> talk about trump. any word on who or what the process is for trump's consideration of a vp pick? >> yeah he said that he is looking at people. that they are starting to assemble the short list so to speak not. idea whether there is a definite pick or somebody at the top. lots of names being thrown out

and lots of names of former republican candidate whose said they will absolutely not be on that ticket. >> yeah. ones that he insulted so harshly. thank you tracie potts in washington for us. >> but you do get to see people insulting each other in the run up and then deciding they will be running mates anyway. like carly fiorina and the ted cruz. >> exactly. -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> tough competitor. i don't think that was singing his praises it was a less negative -- >> little different from the tone previously. >> i don't think he's going to pick ted cruz though. somehow. >> i don't either. little more mainstream. to sports now. lebron james. and the cavaliers won big last night. and did so in historic fashion

good morning and welcome to "worldwide exchange" on cnbc. i'm sara eisen. >> and a i wilfred frost. good morning to you from me as well. let's check on the global markets this morning. we can keep playing that music in the background i was enjoying but we're not going to. t it my first cinco de mayo. >> it is. >> i didn't know what it was until about two days ago. we're down about.6, .7 today. almost eradicating those on the futures board. called higher about something. taking strength from elsewhere in the world. europe is higher. although some markets remain closed for various holidays. nordic regions are closed. switzerland is closed. italy and spain is up nicely. germany up 8%. asia. japan closed.

indonesia, south korea closed. so lower volumes. hong kong is down a bit. shanghai is up a bit. starting with oil, seeing an almost 3% pop this morning. brent, international benchmark up almost 2.5%. even natural gas is getting a lift today. the 10 year treasury note yield, 10 year yield sits above 1.80 this morning. there's been a flight to quality, safety. bonds have been in demand. that is reversing a bit on this global market rebound. and the u.s. dollar strengthening. second day in a row. is the dollar rebounding? is that the owned of the weakness? certainly for today we are seeing a bit of a rebound here. against the euro. dollar stronger against the yen. 107.31. a sigh of relief for the policy

makers and the british pound is getting a boost as well. gold interestingly is strengthening along with the u.s. dollar. get a big vote of confidence from mr. druckenmiller at the sohn conference. >> he's a gold bug. let's get to our twitter and facebook question this morning. what is the main driver of this market right now. oil, dollar, earnings or central banks? many of you writing in already. including jim cramer. he tweets one oil, two dollar, three tech. it's not often i disagree with the master himself. but i think it is the u.s. dollar and central banks. i put them together as one option. personally i this that is unquestionable thely driver. i think there's been a sprinkling of the earnings

and -- but i still think that. >> it could change. it changes day to day but the truth is they are all sort of in the driver seat right now and they are all acting as an overhang. that is earnings not strong enough. not giving enough strength in terms of the outlook to get this market going. there is also political uncertainty we introduce into the equation. tobias lefk vich was saying he talks to a lot of fund managers and that is their big concern along with the sustainability of the commodity rally. oil and the dollar. >> and as jim pointed out one of the big corporate stories of course is tech, apple. >>e today's top corporate story would be tesla. phil lebeau.

>> the earnings report yesterday is almost an afterthought for a lot of people. they roughly came in line with expectations. lost 50 cents a share. revenue in line with expectations. what they say about future production is getting a lot of attention, essentially moving up the target for annual production of 500,000 vehicles a year. moving that forward by two years. it was supposed to happen by 2020. now tesla is saying it will happen by 2018. and to put this increase in production into some perspective, look at the annual production where it is right now. this year annual production, not deliveries but production is going to be about 95,000 vehicles. they are saying that by 2018 that will be increasing to

500,000. and at the conference elon said it is not an official target but he's thinking about producing one million vehicles annually by 2020. here is what he had to say. >> i think it is actually feasible. maybe not advisable but feasible to do it with just freemont and the giga factory. we actually believe that freemont and the giga factory could scale two million vehicles. whether that's actually wise is a separate question. >> that was musk in response to a question i asked. all of this is coming along with the questions of how are you going to pay for this? and what does that mean for

investors? because there is going to be a capital raise, because capital expenditures will go up at least by 50% this year this company is not going to be cash flow positive this year. they didn't officially say that. they did say this new plan will impact the original target of being cash flow positive this year. so those are the questions that are weighing on the minds of investors. guy, i can't emphasize this enough. in manufacturing of automobiles, a 10% increase. a 15% increase in production is a big deal. you are talking about a company doing a five fold increase right now by 2018 and then going up to a million by 2020. and of course all of this is being driven by the great demand that they are seeing for the model 3. >> i was just going to say. what about all of those model 3 deposits they collected? can't they use that to pay off?

>> they can use some of that. but that is not going to be enough. they are going to need more in order to have the cushion on the balance sheet. and it is just not enough to cover what they are looking for in terms of the expanded production. >> well so far investors are giving him the benefit of the doubt phil. we needed that higher perspective. thank you for calling in phil lebeau. >> met life's profit fell short of estimates. the largest u.s. life insurer continues to be hurt by zero interest rates since the market drop. >> all state says profitability is improving while its homeowner segment remains having to

strong. >> and -- >> few other stocks to watch today. marathon oils firth quarter loss widened. cost cuts failed to offset lower oil prices. production falling 14% during the quarter. weight watchers first quarter resu results. benefitting from its partnership with oprah. go daddy attracting for customers and earning more per user. also raised its full year guidance, though the stock sold off more than 3% in the pre market. >> today is the 5th of may, also known as cinco de mayo. commemorates the mexican's unlikely victory over french

forces in 1862. in the u.s. they have capitalized with emphasis on food, music and especially alcoholic beverages. landon dowdy joins us with more. landon. >> good morning. one of the top things to celebrate is tequila. especially in the u.s. here is low down on the sales. since 2002 tequila volume sales have grown an average of 5% a year. and so much more. total tequila sales grew abo about --. take a listen. >> i think people are just tired of something that has no flavor. so people have this vodka fatigue if you will. so they are moving the things that have a robust rich flavor which tequila has. especially high end tequila.

and also specifically avion we don't add any additives. it's a hundred percent natural and people are caring about what they put in their body today. >> trends are changing with people sipping tequila year round. and the margarita. and our friends created this original cocktail for us. i've been playing bartender all morning. >> what's in it? >> a lot of surprises. >> is it -- >> i'm not the best bartender. avion, agave nectar and a little secret sauce. >> oh wow. >> hey it's 5:00 somewhere. >> i embrace this country in the

way it promotes alcohol drinking. and didn't we have national margarita day like only a month ago. >> >> cinco de mayo is huge. this is much bigger. >> and -- who will involved. >> you drink a lot over there too. >> but we don't have national days where e oh we have to drink this particular drink. >> --. >> we're going to put the recipe out on facebook. and on twitter. >> happy cinco de mayo to everyone watching. today's must reads. including a key tactic hillary clinton will likely employ against donald trump in the general election. "worldwide exchange" will be back in a flash. ♪ baby i'm worth it

it is time for today's must reads. stories, the ones catching our attention. it is all politics these days. the wall street journal. the title "the trump reality." the wall street journal finally comes to terms with the fact that trump is the presumptive nominee and they discuss how he must be the most variable nominee in u.s. history. here is a quote from the piece. he shares president obama's desire to retreat from global leadership even if he couches america first and. he'd to deploy far more force than he know s s to --.

this is the very reluctant embrace of the wall street journal editorial board to donald trump who they say wasn't our first choice or even 15th but the reality is more gop voters prefer them to the alternative. so therefore do they. >> big question. and how can he unite -- can he unite the party? the other big question will relate to female voters and my must read is from the financial times. titled hillary clinton plays the woman card against donald trump. gender will play a crucial role in the election. he writes mr. trump's

unfavorable views among women have been on the rise. and despite being the potential first female president, hillary clinton's polling amongst women has never been super high with trump the opposition, that changes a lot. and this is going to be a crucial factor. and much harder area for him to moderate his view on and galvanize support amongst female voters than any of the other areas out there. >> and they are both -- they both have high unpopularity -- >> they do. >> they both share those factors. approaching the top of the hour so the team is getting ready for squaux. i have a feeling joe wants to weigh in. >>"squawk box". i have a feeling joe wants to weigh in. >> -- you're new though. and, you know, we're trying to -- remember how long it took

piers morgan to get completely accepted and everything. >> he was never super adored though so -- >> you know, what? i've never been a big fan but lately i've become a big fan. he's so outspoken. he reminds me of trump almost. he's say anything that he believes. and the -- >> -- >> unbelievable, right during the corey lewandowski thing he's like really? the scrums in great britain, he kept looking to see what happened to -- whatever her name wa was. but yeah the journal was pretty funny. they finally said we're gonna just -- you know we can't believe this happened but now that it did we're going to look at both candidates and decide which is better. but there is a lot of establishment republicans that you are sort of hearing the same thing from. i was thinking with all of the apple analysts, we have trouble having any of them on because they are also wrong. and then i think about the oil

analysts that said 90 was the low. 70 was the low. 50. every one said this was the time to buy. they have all disqualified themselves. what pundit do we listen to or what newspaper do we listen to to analyze trump's chances? >> good point. >> considering none of them had any idea -- like the journal. all along this is -- they couldn't have been more wrong about how this was going to turn out. so do we listen to anyone about what the -- you know, how to analyze the next six months? i don't know. but we will have the candidate on. donald trump this morning. obviously. the minute you get the candidate we move to just speculation about the veep. about the vice president. and i don't know which way it goes. does he go like towards kasich which was supposedly going to do better in the general election, but wasn't really -- the base wasn't enamored of kasich at all? does he go with a woman? a latino woman?

>> a rubio some are saying. >> a -- i don't know. it's interesting all the different. does he go with one of the 16 fallen. or is it someone totally that did not run? he made some interesting comments about kasich yesterday how he's rapidly rising in his eyes as a potential veep. and then we've got polly pa tia on as well. thinks 3 trillion, amazon could be a thrthat's pretty excel inca lot of stuff happening today. our twitter question this morning. what's the main driver of market right now. oil, dollar, earnings or central bank. we'll pose that questions to

jurrien timer next. stay tuned. you are watching cnbc first in business worldwide. cathy's gotten used to the smell of lingering garbage...

so why would you invest without checking brokercheck? check your broker with brokercheck. joining us the jurrien timmer. first thing you look to determine direction of futures? is it oil? the dollar? any central bank commentary? this is our twitter question of the day. we want to hear from you. >> the first thing i look at is the dollar. because everything is either positively or inversely correlated to the dollar. if the dollar goes down, liquidity conditions ease up. that is a risk on thing usually and if the dollar depogoes up i means the financial conditions are tightening. at least that's been the dynamic over the last year that's a key

indicator here. >> and that a broader index or is it the major currency loose tick euro and yen. >> i like at the broader burglar. i don't like the dxy. the broader has all the currency in it. and that's a good proxy because a lot of stress has been creating the policy divergence between central banks, putting pressure on the yuan. that's been a driver during the risk off over the past year. and yes the broader dollar. >> rhetoric from the fed? >> it moves around for different reasons. the underlying problem is we have a policy divergence. so the fed wants to tighten. other central banks are easing. that puts upward pressure on the dollar. and we put that into remission a few months ago after the

december hike. and now, you know, the market sort of keeps looking for are they going to stay more dovish or start to backtrack on that? and so far they have stayed pretty dovish and odds of a june hike are like 10%. so far we're out of the woods. but this is an ongoing battle. >> we'll see tomorrow after the jobs report. jurrien. are we at the point where -- is weighing on economic activity? >> i wouldn't say it is weighing on economic activity? but i do think that when there is more uncertainty the market wants to be compensated through a higher risk premium and that means lower pe. all else equal, if earnings are the same. if a -- is too high at a time of uncertainty and the market

thinks 15 pe is better then the markets will adjust downward. >> are you seeing that now? the picture from earnings, it hasn't been that bright. seeing some bottom line beets and some companies raising guidance but perhaps not enough given the uncertain environment. >> earnings is very interesting here. because the q1, surprise to the upside, as always. this is the oldest game in the world. companies guide lower to where they know they can beat and then they guide lower again during that earnings season. so the output is better than expected but the issue is now the q2 numbers are coming down and the full year numbers have really fallen dramatically. the beginning of the year the wall street consensus was looking for 7%. we are down to 1% now. there is definitely an earnings loss here. >> thank you. jurrien timmer of fidelity. >> it is a tie between oil and

central banks as to what the main driver of markets is right now. that is it. for "worldwide exchange." thanks for watching.
