sufficient dovish action or rhetoric. either way we didn't get what we expected. markets lost a little bit of steam. as we look at the bond markets, we did see yields tick up yesterday around the world as that ecb action didn't come in in terms of easeness. and today we're just seeing yields move a fraction in the other direction. 1.616 on the ten-year treasury note. >> all focus right now on korea. breaking news out of north korea overnight. successfully tested a nuclear war head in what might have been the most powerful launch ever. very worrying. covering that story for us from asia. >> good morning, morgan. while it was enough and it was major enough to really rankle the markets over here. we did see heightened risk sentiment and no surprises. south korean benchmark was down.

dollar juan was relatively stable around 1100. important to note the bank of korea met today and elected to keep rate steady at 1.25%. difficult to see how this plays out. are we going to see more uncertainty. whether sanctions being brought to bear. are they really effective is the big open-ended question. is it going to embolden pinjing even further. you have to ask yourself whether this is going to present an opportunity. in an environment we've got a lot of yield tourists looking for the yield out here. 3% looks quite tasty. do they buy the dip or hold back if they have the fortitude considering the go politics of the region. monday i think is going to be quite important.

we have fmc voter speaking there. and a dove. is she going to set the tone in the months to come? the asian markets will be watching that one. >> thanks very much for that. let's have a look what's happening elsewhere in the world. european equities are lower. only slightly as you can see. all of the major embassies just below flat. germany for the week is similar to in fact what it is today. just below flat. the ftse 100 the laggard of the major embassies for the week down 0.5%. as for the broader markets, taking a look at oil. we are seeing wti crude and ice brent pair some of those gains we saw on thursday. wti really stronger on the week. both of those up 6% for the week after that record $14.5 million crude oil draw that we saw on the heels of hurricane hermine last week.

gasoline futures lower today. we got a note out of morgan stanley in terms of oil saying maybe the supply demand issue has not worked itself out. very hesitant to say we're going to move much higher up. taking a look at gold right now, gold is -- let's see if we can pull up the chart here. gold was lower. that is down about $2 right now. at 1339. >> dollar down almost 1%. not too much movement happening had to, and, of course, the yen as you can see is the major mover only around 0.3% of strength for the yen today. the market is no longer pricing in a rate hike, but one hike profile market high profile market watcher says investment watchers could be surprised. landon dowdy joins us with more on that.

welcome back to "world wide exchange." very good morning to you. let's get you up to speed on the market action. yesterday saw a quarter of decline fdow and s&p. we're expecting declining once again today. third day in a row of declines. just slight as you can see. the dow expected to open down by 31 points. now, yesterday, energy became the best performing sector of the year. overtaking telco in terms of s&p sectors. oil soured 4%. wti having a very strong day indeed. up 7% for the week as a whole.

problem. we've got no government in spain. a fragile government in italy. there's only one government that can. that's germany that could actually spend money. the german finance minister arrived here this morning and pushed back on mario draghi and said look, it's ecb policy. qe that seen the euro weaken. that's boosted german exports. his message was guys if ecb policy isn't changing any time soon, neither is germany. mario draghi may come with a bold message, but that's a true definition of messages falling on deaf ears. >> we've seen headlines this morning, of course the head of the euro group finance ministers saying the uk has to get on with brexit. they will be the ones to suffer the most from delaying themt. has the data we've seen over the summer come from the uk actually giving breathing room to the uk

and put the pendulum back a little closer to center ground in terms of who is going to have the power in negotiations when they do start. >> well, wilfred, absolutely agree with you. all the power lies with the uk when they decide to invoke article 50 and kick off discussion. as you point out, the data in the uk has surprised everybody. look at the data yesterday that mario draghi announced for the euro zone. barely in the adjustment at all on growth or inflation. actually even on both sides of debate, so far you see very little reaction to brexit at all. i think my point here would be actually brexit has masked a lot of individual issues that i just mentioned in the euro zone, whether it's portugal, italy, greece or in fact ireland. perhaps we should be looking at in the short-term, far closer rather than brexit. back to you. >> thank you very much for that. live in brat saliva.

highlights from opening night. br bronco beating pan thethers onc again: here's a look at today's national forecast. >> good morning. let's take a look at the forecast across the country. it's kind of hard to miss the bull's-eye, isn't it. heavy rain fall possibility, maybe damaging winds, him a. can't rule out tornados either. folks always have a plan of where to go should severe weather come calling and best chance across the corn belt. lovely day for you. very warm for you. seattle and los angeles look fantastic. more on temperatures unseasonably warm for you. looks like summer is never going to end. the case in southeast. denver breezy conditions along

years. that's a startling time frame. >> absolutely is. you know, this continues to be -- i wonder whether the timing was aimed as being soon after the president's visit to the wider region. either way, certainly to keep an eye on. >> let's have a look at global markets. they have had an eye on this. not too significantly. we've seen declines across the asian market this is morning. only slight gains for those ones. hong kong the standout. nikkei just held on to gains. the rest of asia down. europe if we have a look at that just below flat. not significant declines as you can see. soft markets yesterday after that lack of action from mario draghi and the ecb meeting. just ending the week on a slightly negative note. germany for the week as a whole just below flat.

welcome back to "world wide exchange." if you're just getting up. let's get you up to speed on the market action. yesterday we saw slight declines. two days in a row of decompliance. we are lined up to have a third. markets could beat this slight decline we have in the premarkets. we're only down about 0.1%. let's have a look at european trade as well. which is negative too, but, again, only slightly. we are looking at around about .20% of decline. after mario draghi failed to ease further at the ecb meeting, but over the week as a whole, nothing too significant. the ftse 100 down 0.7% for the week as we stand. the germany dax down just what we're seeing today. flat as of thursday's close.

quick look at asia today as well. that is softer for the most part. these three boards hiding the fact that all of asia was soft apart from these two. hong kong up. nikkei flat. shanghai and everywhere else on the map was down. of course the main headline coming out was north korea has tested another missile. one world trade center has been open nearly two years. some people flat out won't go near it. it's too painful. others are drawn to it and want to pay respects. in a new documentary, jim cramer meets some new tenants who describe how and why they decided to make the move. >> reporter: chris and jake are co-founders of mike, a digital news sight aimed at millennials. they signed a ten-year lease for the entire 82 floor. they came not just for the

views, but because of what happened here. 9/11 has been a water shed moment for my peers and the opportunity to go dounlwntown a to be part of the rebirth of that neighborhood that a lot of people have done an incredible job with, i think is an honor for us. >> learn more about the world trade center including who else has moved in and how secure and expensive it is in jim cramer's new documentary. >> must read stories catching our attention today. my pick in the financial times titled mario draghi's fight to uphold ecb credibility. it reads the central bank stimulus is having an effect, but it needs political support, not obstruction. the euro zone would be in a better position now if the ecb had been able to go further to do so with the support of fiscal policy from those governments in a position to provide it.

i bring this up because i think it was the main driver yesterday. clearly markets weren't moving massively, but was the main driver. we saw yields tick up. just begs the question whether these easy policies are here to stay forever. everyone is expecting japan and europe to continue to see loose policy going forward. you see hurdles out there. the bank of japan thinks one might have lost the ability. in europe, you see the political difficulties that mario draghi is facing. he would have liked to be able to extend it. he can't. germany doesn't want to do that at the moment. the loose policy we expect to be here to stay might face some hurdles. >> begs the question if you have no more bullets in the gun, what happens if things get worse. >> exactly right. my pick today in the "washington post." incident in hangzhou. in a land so sensitive, rolling

staircases don't disappear at arrival ceremonies. not one leader was left stranded on plane upon arrival. he's referring to last weekend, president obama's visit to china and the fact that he had to, quote, unquote, exit from the as of the plane, quote unyoet and there wasn't a red carpet rolled out. he goes on in this particular article to point out china, russia, iran many of these world powers have essentially lost respect for the obama administration and that the rhetoric in this country is one thing, the actions that are being taken are another. this is particularly salient today given what we've seen in north korea with the nuclear test and the sanctions in place on that country, china continues to be number one ally and supporters. >> i think although of course china has come out and said that they don't support the developing of the missile program in north korea, i agree that obama would have hoped this

final trip to asia, if we look back four or five years ago, would have been one with so much more to be able to announce and celebrate than he's able to come back with. that said in that press conference that was live here yesterday, he denied that the reception he got was less than positive. said all these individual leaders have embraced the work they have done on the asia pivot and were questioning whether it will continue with the next president. >> le can say that, but optics are another thing. you're the leader of the free world and there is not a red carpet rolled out for you it is bottom bott bothersome. still to come. we'll have much more on what to expect with the markets in the rest of the year from a top portfolio manager. first a programming note. don't miss this blockbuster lineup at this week sixth annual delivering conference.

we're approaching the top of the hour. the team is getting ready for "squawk box." >> we have a lot going on. we're going to talk nuke tests, if you will. the north korea nuke test and what it means to the markets all day long. i imagine we'll not just be talking about it on squawk, but the rest of the day. i do want to talk about banks and all the bang regulation. we're going to talk about that today. wilfred, i'm sure you have views of what that means. not only stories of private equity. waste management ceo joining us this morning. that's interesting we ining bel on the way of the u.s. economy. cfo of kroger a little later.

a lot of tap today. >> we look forward to it. "squawk box" is up around 10 minutes time. korg corporate news here, bank of america agreeing to pay. the employees were former merrill lynch advisers who were fired after the merger in 2008. the claim says the bank failed to follow proper procedures after terminating them and they deserved deferred compensation. wells fargo being hit with $185 million in civil penalties. regulators saying employees of the bank created unauthorized bank accounts in order to boost sales. wells fargo has fired employees in connection to this behavior. this is the largest find ever levied against a financial firm. >> we wrap up with comments from a pair of fed officials. july wholesale trade is out.

boston fed president eric rosengren and rob kaplan are speaking today. rosengren is a voter on the fomc this year. don't miss steve lease miesman' exclusive interview. >> we are called lower. only slightly by about 0.2% t. dow expected to open 39 points. joiningtous discuss markets what to expect, alex. portfolio manager. thanks for joining us. this time last week we were expecting this rally, the rotation we would see during august seeing the likes of banks starting to perform very well could continue if we expected the rate hikes to be delivered. we did two-stories highlighting the difficulty banks still face and rate hike expectations are turned around. was that august rally we saw in the bank something that's not going to continue. >> obviously the banks are

sensitive to rate hikes. i think what you're seeing is central banks are becoming far less central. what we have to really watch are the economic numbers. you saw stan fisher have janet yellen's speech saying he wants to see where the thrust of the economy is going. is it better or worse. that's the question on the table not only for the fed, but for the investors. >> ball game about the thrust of the economy, looking at economic data. we see disappointing numbers. the manufacturing data, services data, yet on the heels of the ecb leaving rates unchanged not expanding stimulus program, i think there's more sentiment in the market overnight or the past day that this does give the fed more room to potentially hike sooner. what are you thoughts? >> i think you're rights. you see a lot of peopling coming out and saying i think the fed is going to surprise. the reality is the fed is going to be data dependent. people don't like that and that is the reality. one economic data point isn't

going to change that. they're looking for things to augment or to enhance or to validate what they're sentiment is on the market, but if you look, i read the former chairman bernanke's blog on fed analysis on the economy and interest rates. his position, i think this is what the fed's position is, they haven't been right a lot since the financial crisis. some they must be data dependent before they make a step. >> alan, you said that central banks are becoming less central to markets. so what are the other key factors you're focused on. oil prices the start of the year, huge correlation with equity markets been volatile recently and markets haven't mutual fund as closely with oil prices as we might have expected earlier in the year. >> i think oil between 40 and $508 is the final argument range for wall street. with oil at 40-$50 it becomes less of a story. the big story right now is the presidential election in november. i would love to see the fed come out and say the fiscal policy of

one candidate versus the other candidate, this is the effect we see it on the economy. the fed is not going to do that. in england the central bank will say this is what we think brexit will do. the federal reserve is not going to did that, but that's the big story. we have an election coming up. what is donald trump spending versus hillary clinton spending due to the economy. >> and you say the fed balance sheet -- that the fed has to prevent a costly, quote, unquote, rate rant. >> i short of tried to coin this phrase of rate rant. it comes from the taper tantrum. you had a tantrum when he hinted at the ability of diminishing quantitative easing. they are acutely aware if they were to surprise the market, you could have a rate rant where you see the long end ride. if you see the long end rise, that could hurt the equity markets and the fed will not driven entirely by the markets

is acutely aware of. >> is the long end not driven by interest rates around the world. >> i think the comparison and i think that's why mario draghi's inaction or lack of new policy was particularly poignant yesterday. the comparison of rates here are particularly important. with the balance sheet at $5 billion and a trillion and a half coming due over the next five years, reinvesting interest to keep the low end longer than people might expect. >> we saw energy overtake telco. tell us what your top sector pick is for the rest of the year. >> look, so many macro factors going on right now. we have very interest rate driven. those interest rate drivers are particularly driven be the economic data. we have to see the macro picture

before we pick a sector. we talked about banking being sensitive to interest rates. so much dependent on the macro picture it's impossible to select a sector of being a driver of the market. >> great stuff, thank you for joining us. pleasure to have you as always. we only have about a minute left so we want to highlight our charts of the week. >> what have you gone for, morgan. i've got the wti chart. west texas intermediate chart. up 6% this week. we had that record draw here in the u.s. 14.5 million barrels part lir tied to the weather. it's an interesting chart. i have to tease that we've got our own brine san sul van repor in oklahoma this week. >> my pick for the week is u.s. dollar chart. slipped 1% against the broader index of currencies.
