policies, whether they are global by nature or not, are doing to help citizens and just be more inclusive. he gives examples like the italian banks and the bailout from that shouldn't be the word from brussels. >> interestingly, you picked that one. similar themes echoed in my pick this morning. op-ed by britain's finance minister george osborne. it says britain is open for business, he says. our economic trade ties with north america must become stronger. my message is simple. we're not withdrawing from the world. britain will be a beacon for free trade, democracy and security more open to the world than ever before. and he goes into it to say that when he took off in 2010, corporate tax was 28%. it's already down to 17%. he wants to cut it further to 15%. this doesn't mean american businesses should disappear. the fact that britain pulled out of the eu, it's -- very good

tone. offset it a bit -- for the first time in 40 years, the uk will set its own trade terms. that conversation starts with the u.s., of course. his old pal that helped him during the campaign, obama said that the uk would be the back of the queue if they left. they're changing their tune. i wonder whether that message got across during the campaign. >> does he have a role in the next government? under the next prime minister? >> we don't know. >> it's hard to make promises to wall street here in the u.s. if he doesn't, in fact, know how the negotiations are going to go when it comes to london as the financial center. >> right. he's close to the theresa may. perhaps he would remain in government. >> if she wins. >> if she won. we'll have to wait and see. good point, though. we're approaching the top of the hour. the team is getting ready for "squawk box." michelle caruso cabrera is live sass we watch futures go to

record highs. >> could be another good day. as you know. you've seen them. phil lebeau at the farnborough air show. the ceo of virgin atlantic. i'm sure we'll be discussing that editorial by george osborne where he makes a good point that now the united kingdom can be more competitive with the shackles of what tends to be socialist eu policy. could be better off if they get it right. of course, it depends on who is in government as you guys point out. there is a study. people pay to do studies but there are too many bosses. i mean, i don't think that's true where we work, of course. however, i hear it's a problem in other places. we'll discuss. >> well, there we go. i'm interested to listen to that discussion particularly. if there's any veiled implications during the discussion. michelle, thank you very very much. we look forward to "squawk box" in 12 minutes time. still to come, your stocks

for the privilege of flying higher and higher, tether. ♪ stocks are rallying. s&p 500 flirting with record territory. john bill ton head at jpmorgan asset management. good morning, john. >> good morning. >> how do you reassess u.s. stock now that we have retraced all of the post brexit losses and are heading into earnings season? >> well, i think you got to recognize that the u.s. is looking at two things. we saw evidence of that on friday. number one, we had a strong jobs report. one which was demonstrating that the labor market is still relatively strong. of course, that's the life blood of the u.s. economy. but also one that's not quite overheating yet. the average hourly earnings were
5:52 am
still in reasonable sort of neutral kind of range. so it's suggesting that the economy is warm but not too hot. then, of course, look at what happened in the current season, the bond markets, which suggested that actually the market believes that the fed are very much in a first do no harm kind of approach to the world right now. of course, what that means is, reasonable growth in the u.s. supportive policy around the globe. of course, the likes of the other central banks potentially about to add more unrefined cane sugar to the mix as we talk more about stimulus from japan, possibly the uk and as we move towards the autumn, possibly each the ecv. >> john, as we go into earnings season, which sectors are you looking for possible positive surprises? >> i any sectors that have suffered from the weakness that we saw during 2015 in energy, i mean, clearly energy stocks have been one of the best performing sectors during the course of this year.
5:53 am
ultimately, we'd be looking for some of the headwinds from oil to have passed and secondly, those big exporting sectors which have suffered over the course of 2015 from the strong dollar. evidence that those headwinds are now being taken away would give reassurance to markets -- to investors into u.s. markets. >> john, you've got a global view. i want to ask you about italy which stands out today as europe is in the green minus the italian stock market. how much of a problem right now is the stress in the italian banking sector and how will it play out and how many ripple effects will it cause? >> i think italy is a known issue for europe. i mean, i think what we're seeing is a couple of things coming together. there is a balance sheet problem within the italian banking sector which is well-recognized by the markets. there are mechanisms which need to be put into place potentially to shore that up. the issue you have with negative rates in the eurozone is it means that the ability for banks
5:54 am
to earn their way out of trouble has been severely compromised. i think what we're seeing now with further talk of stimulative monetary policy, just another refocusing on the balance sheet problems and the lack of earnings potential out of the banks within italy and more broadly across europe. it's absolutely pivotal as to how this does play out. broadly speaking if we look at past rallies in european stocks with the exception of the.com boom, they're led by the banks. until the banks demonstrate the ability to earn, it's very difficult to make a bullish call on europe as an investing region. certainly in the equity markets. >> john, do you think we have to see more easing as well across europe and maybe the uk to get economies going again? is that what you expect this week? >> where herein lies the issue. part of the problem is we've seen the limitations of negative rates. we move probably more towards
5:55 am
credit easing. potentially that's the route we go through. as far as the bank of england, clearly market pricing for cutting rates either at the july meeting or potentially the august meeting. certainly, that does seem to be a broad consensus given the downgrading of growth trajectories for the uk. i think what's more broadly helpful, though, is to think what are the levers that the bank of england could potentially fall. we've seen the counter cyclical -- potentially giving more leeway for banks. could we see credit easing, funding for lending, it's making sure that credit gets into the end economy that's more important at this particular point than necessarily the headline monetary policy rate in my view. >> is the bottom line, john, it sounds like you're saying that the u.s. stock market and potentially bond market is the place to be right now if you want to be defensive and if you want to be in a resilient growth
5:56 am
environment. >> well, we're in a world where growth is positive but not spectacular. brexit clearly has removed a few percentage points out of potential uk growth and at the margin takes global growth down. the fact of the matter is, when you're in a low growth world, and a world where you have got stimulative monetary policy, you've got a couple of things going on. first and foremost, a great reaching for yield. that's happening within the bond markets. that's leaking into the u.s. treasury bonds. but also in the equity markets, you're looking for defensiveness and quality. simply put, the u.s. market is more or less perfectly placed for low growth world. >> thank you, john. john built on. 30 seconds left to g highlighting a few things we're watching today. financials is your pick. >> the financials. we're going to gept bank earnings toward the end of the week. you wonder how much bad news is baked in. it's still the worst performing group of the year. it could hardly have a worst
