fourth consecutive positive month. that would be its best streak since five straight winning months ending in june 2014. six out of ten are positive. and led by tech up by more than 5%. dow is up 0.6 of a percent. s&p is higher by 1.6%. the nasdaq has jumped more than 3%. that led to the twitter question, is it time to sell for the summer? do continue to get in touch, and we will be updating down the results of that poll later in the show. >> you wonder, was may's gain sort of like a bonus, right? typically, the markets don't do all that well in may. let's get a check on the global markets as well in asia. japan's nikkei. up on the back of better data. china is the one to watch, wilf, 3% is not much for the shanghai.

it telling how boring china has been. consumer prices falling 0.1% on the year in may. that's the second month declining in prices. you're seeing markets there under pressure but a solid week for a lost these markets. >> exactly like the u.s., both asia and europe did well last week. opec meeting coming up in vienna on thursday. most not expect anything coordinated action on production pop could prices have doubled after hitting three-year low this winter. briefly trading below $50 last week. of course, strong gains for oil in recent weeks. it was up 1.9%. last weekend, it's up 7.4% in the month of way, wti. so, strong performance. all eyes on opec for thursday. >> that's right, wilf. i just jumped the gun a little bit. let's take a look at the bottom markets and the dollar.

four weeks, right, of gains for the dollar which is the longest streak we've seen for a while. this on the back of janet yellen's comments on friday saying the u.s. economy could perhaps handle another interest rate hike and that could be in june and july. certainly on the mind of investors. it's going to be an important data point for the federal reserve. let's take a look at what global has been under. we're currently sitting at 1,213. >> it may be a short. ed trading week but there's still economic data. today look for personal income. the march s&p case-shiller home index, as well as chicago pmi and consumer confidence for may. on wednesday, we get the ism manufacturing and the fed's beige book law on thursday. and friday, it's the big one, may nonfarm pairls along with the ism services index.

lots of data to watch this week. let's switch focus. the past week, coca-cola enterprises shareholders approved the merger with two bottling companies. that deal creating the world's largest independent coke bottler. it will start trading in new york, london and amsterdam. and joining us from amsterdam first on cnbc, john bock, new ceo. very good morning to you, john. thanks for joining us. congratulations with closing the merger with your other europe mean coke bottling companies. the question is, to what extent has been this merger forced by coca-cola, the company, because in the need of slightly declining sales? >> well, first of all, let me say it's really exciting to be here with you today from amsterdam. we'll begin trading shares later today. it's a beautiful day and it's a cause for celebration.

and we're bringing these three already significant bottlers together. coca-cola enterprises spain and germany, to form as you said the largest coca-cola bottler in the world by revenue. and we're really excited about it because it's all about growth. we'll have scale. we'll have flexibility. we'll have innovation. ability to bring new products, new packages to market and achieve growth. and frankly, what we're really going to be doing is taking the best practices from each of the three businesses and putting them together in this new entity ccep. a quick example, the germans are the best in the world, frankly, of dealing with discounters. cce is very good with dealing with the modern retail trade. and spain is incredible up and down the street. hotel, restaurant, cafe distribution. so it's the best of the best coming together to form ccep. >> good morning, john. i'm wondering about the savings

aspect of this. savings is a huge part of that. you guys aiming to cut costs by 375 million in three years. how do you get there? what are some of those initiatives? >> yeah, just to be clear, it is all about growth and that's the primary reason we did this entity, but it's also about savings. and we committed to 350 to 375 million u.s. dollars a year, by year three. the bulk of that savings is going to come from procurement. we are going to be able to buy things at a much greater scale and a much greater level. and that will be where most of the savings come from. obviously, as we look at combining at other entities, whether it's headquarters or other functions there will be some savings there. what i can say today, ten months after we announce the transaction, we're more confident than ever that those savings targets will be realized by year three. >> john, now, the biggest of course in the world in terms of

coke bottlers and taking pretty much all of europe under your wings, will there will be further consolidation moving forward with bottlers from america and from asia? >> well, let me just say, we're excited about this combination that resulting. ccep, as you said is going to be a significant part of western europe. we're always open to greater geographical diversification, 96 to our business. we've got a lot to do right now. frankly, we're very happy where we are. but if other strategic opportunities came along, i'll certainly say, we would be happy to take a look at them. i think it's also fair to say there has to be a willing seller and a willing buyer to make a transaction work. against, our interest is all about creating value for our shareholders. so if we were to do a transaction, it would be under that guise. that we're goes to clearly create value for our shareholders by doing it.

>> okay, john, you guys have moved your headquarter over to europe. what kind of savings is that resulting in due to the fact that you're no longer page a higher u.s. tax bill? how will that affect the balance sheets? >> let me just be clear this is a strategic and financial transaction, absolutely. our business was already 100% in europe. coca-cola enterprises was in seven countries in europe. coca-cola iberian partners were in three. spain and iceland. putting it all together is a very strong strategic and fvnl transaction. the new headquarters will be in london. in green bat britain, which is of the largest and we think is the most appropriate to have the domicile going forward. in terms of trading two primary

places, amsterdam in europe. and new york where the bulk of our shares have been traded historically. but those will be the two exchanges where we anticipate most of the our shares will be traded in the future. and, of course, that's why we're here in amsterdam today to ring the bell and celebrate the opening of trading here. >> john, as you said, all across europe and headquartered in london. does the threat of an exit from the european union concern you? >> we think that whole decision needs to be up to the choices that are going to be made by uk voters. just to remind everyone, some 95% of the products that are sold in any one our given markets are produced in that same market. so, we frankly, think that the british voters should decide about brexit. whatever the decision is, we will certainly be able to deal with it it it. >> john, your held quarters, you've only just moved into the

uk, they'll remain in the uk either way? >> absolutely. the headquarters of coca-cola enterprises was already in london. and that will be an expanded headquarters now for the whole of ccep. but what happens on brexit would have no impact whatsoever on the choice of our headquarters. >> can we touch as well, john, just quickly on the health of the consumer in europe. what trends are you seeing in your outlook for the year ahead? >> well, our sense is europe continues to get better and better from an economic standpoint. and i have to say in our category, just to put it in perspective, it's 100 billion euros. that's the size of the nonalcoholic ready-to-drink category. and unlike some fmcg categories it is growing. and we have certain pockets that are really growing like energy

drinks and wareters. we're very excited about the category. and as said, the real function of this combination is to increase growth. we think consumers are becoming increasingly positive. it's still a macro economic market that has somal chas. we think there are more green chutes out there frankly. and we'll make the point that our customers are becoming increasingly more positive about the future and that's important. because we need to have this very strong customer relationship. whether it's big grocery stores or whether it's up and down the street. and one of the things we bring so strongly to customers is a value creating proposition to both grow our business and their business at the same time and to create mutual value. >> john, thank you for joining us. john brock, ceo of coca-cola european partners.

pick, financial sometimes entitled xi jinping has changed china's winning formula. writing the key to the hold most powerful leader a few decades was that the trade was domestic poses and foreign policy were constructed to create the perfect environment for a chinese economic miracle. with mr. xi, however, political and foreign policy imperatives frequently appear to trump economics. very interesting read. the way that president xi managed to take almost all control. and also saying how within the economic priorities that used to be focused on exports, manufacturing and it changed to consumption led to domestic growth seeing a lot of bumps in the road. it's a big experiment that president xi is taking on, risks bigger. >> and it's a much different take than the former administration, right?

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." our twitter question this morning, stocks positive in may. is it time to sell for the summer? 55% of you say sell. joining us from boston is jurrien timmer director of global mac crowe at fidelity investments. thanks for being with us. what say you, sell in june and go away? >> normally, basically from may

to november, at least till october is the weakest part of the year. but right now, i don't really see the ingredients for that. the two major indicators that led the market on the way down which were oil price and high yield credit have both been leading on the way up. so, i'm not seeing evidence from there. also, earnings are down five quarters in a row. so, you know, it may not get much worse than that. i don't really see the immediate negative catalyst to drive us down here. >> jurrien, have you been surprised with how we equity markets have taken talk of a rate hike coming sooner than expected? >> i wouldn't say i'm surprised but clearly there's a game here like a dance between the fed and the markets. the fed is testing the waters to see if the market will give it the green light to go. and so far, the answer has been a very big yes. the s&p is back at the highs of the range.

even though the odds for a june rate hike are are 30. but for september, it's about 70. so far, everything has been quiet. that seems to be approval by market. i would caution, though, that the same thing happened last december, right? so the markets blessed a fed hike in december. everything was fine. for a couple weeks, the markets were completely normal and quiet. then january rolled around it was still a pretty nasty event in january and february. so, we won't really know until the fed has actually pulled the trigger which over, it looks like it's probably going to do over the next few months. >> jurrien, i was going to ask you about it last time and what's different this time? how do you expect the jobs report to come in this friday and factor into its decision? >> not really, i hope the fed

doesn't make its decision based on single reports. but then again, we need to watch what's happened in china, the youan as gone down. and awhat happens in china, i think that's the key thing that we need to watch for. so far things have been quiet. >> jurrien, would you not say that authorities in china do have a better handle on thing, the currency one inspect of that, than when they did the markets fell out of bed in china? >> we are now in the next round in summer when it devalued and the fed sort of put this thing on hold. then in december, the fed got the green light from the markets that pulled the trigger. in january, we had another round

of involuntary devaluation. the fed understands this is about the dollar. if the market can price in a hike here without the dollar really going, you know, sharply higher. than i think everyone will probably get sort of a reprieve here from this occurrence repeated yet again. >> jurrien, just quickly, you mention allowed oil prices have been for markets what's your latest on oil? >> i don't really have a view on where it's going to go. but my sense is at 50, companies are going to start making money again. at least in the unconvention shell oil industry. above 50, companies goy ies areo get good results here. above 50, those oil rigs are going to get turned on. i think there's a natural ceiling here. whether 55 or 60. i don't know.
