"worldwide exchange" exchange begins right now. ♪

good morning to you. i'm wilfred frost alongside seem se we saw the nasdaq decline yesterday, 8 out of 11 sectors were out more than 1%, real estate and telcos were the outperformers, but all sectors down. the likes of alcoa disappointing. will that be a sign for the rest of earnings season? and the pound weighing on sentiment. futures are called higher, pretty much flat but slightly higher. that may be because the pound rebounded. the fear that brexit could derail markets is helping futures this morning. we are up 1.16%.

it comes after theresa may made a concession to parliament offering to let lawmakers debate her brexit plan. this is important to focus on. markets have rallied significantly on this. this is not a vote she's promising. all this move in terms of the pound falling, a lot of it related to the fact she's focusing on a hard brexit, not a soft brexit. if the rally is based on this, i think that's a slight overreaction. it's not a real concession, it's yeah, we'll discuss it. sure thing. if that's what the rally is based today, i think it's a slight overreaction, i think we found the bottom of the range either way. some kind of bounce back was justified. some kind of range or support level would be supported by investors given that we have seen massive depreciations down about 18%, since the uk referendum. on that note, let's look at european equities. keeping an eye on the pound. it's a mixed day of trade.

germany, france and the ftse 100 which hit an all-time high yesterday, a lot of has having to do with the weaker pound is lower by 0.4%. a bit of green in italy and spain. as for asia, risk sentiment slightly on the low side. following that selloff on wall street. the nikkei down about 1%. not helped bay stronger yen. hang seng lower by 0.6%. the chinese market ending lower. there's a new concern around the chinese central bank's management of the currency. the yuan has deprecated for about six days. it was guided lower again today for the sixty session in a row. that's the longest streak since january. it's about a quarter percent decline from yesterday's mid point. it sits at the lowest level against the dollar since september of 2010, but

reigniting fears of what happened in january of this year and august of 2015. oil prices slipped about 1% yesterday. this morning, let's look at how they're trading a bit higher. we're still above 50 bucks for wti, just shy of 51. let's look at the dollar. it was noticeably stronger yesterday, particularly against the pound and also the likes of the euro. that's one reason why equity markets in the u.s. sold off significantly. this morning a bit of a dollar strength out there, but not so meaningful. fractionally vong stronger agai the yen. the pound at 1.227. the ten-year treasury note, that's why we have seen the pound -- the dollar strengthen in recent days. it's risen significantly since the june lows and risen over the past two, three weeks.

1.776 yield there. in corporate news, we continue to watch deutsche bank. the firm carrying out an internal shakeup of its senior banking investment staff and returning to the bond market yesterday raising $1.5 billion. last week it raised 3 billion. it faces the highest borrowing costs among european peers. investors are still waiting for a settlement between deutsche bank and the u.s. justice department. the fed could play a role in today's trade. minutes from last month's fomc meeting will be reemployeleased afternoon. kansas city fed president esther george and bill dudley will speak today. railroad operator csx reports

after the close. landon dowdy joins us with three things to watch in the csx report. >> the street is expecting earnings to be a bit of a bumpy ride in the third quarter. here's three things to watch. the numbers. the street is looking for the eastern transport to post revenue of $2.7 billion earnings, a 13% drop in eps year over year. most analysts forecasting weakness over the entire sector. second volume decline impacted nearly all markets, with coal declining more than 30%. and the firm said volume is likely to fall by high single digits in q3. they'll want to see if coal volumes improved. and guidance. enthusiasm for transports remains tepid given volume pressure. barclays noting they do not believe 2017 is shaping up to be

a robust growth year, but that could make some names in the sector cheap buys. shares of csx up more than 12% in the past three months. in other corporate news, samsung slashing its forecast by a third. john sculley talking about samsung's problems on "closing bell" yesterday. >> samsung is one of the best component designers in the world. my guess is it's a production problem. they made a production error. the challenge is you can't quickly go back and fix those things. you have to go back and redesign if that's a problem. this is not a quick fix upon for samsung. this could take many months to correct. yesterday samsung confirmed a total fauhalt to the galaxy n

7. the note 7 only makes up 18.5% of the total model in terms of earnings. so the share price movement compared to that is large, but this is a major brand damage moving forward. does it damage all the sales. >> and we also are talking about suppliers, chipmakers, those that make the glass on the phone. i'll be curious to see if there are larger ramifications. other stocks to watch today. ericsson taking a hit after the firm issued a profit warning. this comes a week after the telecom equipment firm announced plans to slash about 20% of its domestic work force. shares of barracuda networks rising. the i.t. firm reporting earni t consensus. shares of a suber security firm announcing preliminary results for q3.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." we're looking at slight gains in the futures markets, but not significant compared to yesterday's declines. yesterday all three indices were all more than a percent. the nasdaq off 1.5%. every s&p sector in negative territory yesterday. 8 out of 11 of them off more than 1%. significant declines yesterday. partly because of a strong dollar, partly because some earnings like alcoa's were weak and because of wild card factors like the pond fell significantly reigniting fears that brexit risks may have been overly forgotten. let's look at oil prices. they have been a significant driver recently. they were soft yesterday by 1%. another factor for the equity market weakness. we are bouncing back today. about a third of a percent. yesterday's declines in oil prices, we're still above $50, just shy of 51 for wti.

it was vladimir putin who earlier this week said he would be supportive of a production cut. brent to a 2016 high. the russian president will be addressing a major investment forum in moscow today. that's where we find geoff cutmore live. it's great to see you. you've been busy from d.c. to london to moscow. what can we expect from the russian leader? >> good morning to you. i expect we'll get clarification on that energy price story, not least because we are heading into russian budget season. we think that the president will release some information about how the government intends to make up its budget short fall. give than we're hearing about president putin in the american election, i wouldn't be surprised if he has the odd word or two to say about hillary clinton's accusations that the

russians have been involved in cyberspying, and also on the issue of war crimes. hillary clinton again alleging that russia has been involved in indiscriminate bombing in aleppo and syria. i think we'll get a mix of economic news and focus on the geopolitical stories when the president gives his keynote address in a couple hours time. back to you. >> jeff, let's jump on those accusations of war crimes in aleppo. hillary clinton mentioned it. though stateside most comments around mr. putin are, as you say, relating to his potential relationship with donald trump. how serious are those accusations around aleppo? we saw boris johnson bring it up recently. and a meeting mr. putin was to have with hpresident hollande o france has been canceled because of it.

>> they are serious and there is a coordinated effort among western countries to show it. the russians are saying our planes are not involved, the defense ministry came out and said this was all russia phobia. i think there's a lack of clarity as there always tends to be around these events as far as working out exactly who did what, when, and why. but clearly this is not helping with rising tension more broadly in relations between moscow and washington and western powers that not only involves aleppo, but cyberspying and the apparent movement of nuclear missiles in russia towards nato's borders. how ever you look at it, we see a ratcheting up of tensions here. i suspect we will get mr.

putin's response at this event on some of the more recent comments we've had from paris, london, and washington. back to you. >> geoff, thank you very much for that. geoff cutmore live in russia. coming up, donald trump unleashing new attacks on members of had his own party. details from the campaign trail next. as we head to break, here's today's national forecast from reynolds wolf. let's look at that forecast. we do have some ugly weather to deal with. rivers are rising across the mid-atlantic. looker falling from the skies across the midwest. 90s return to dallas. my apologies. mean while, 60s up in seattle. los angeles, 71. new york, lovely da plenty of sunshine, temperatures in the mid 60s. atlanta, another banner day for us, 77 and sunshine. miami, scattered showers may be

signature issue, climate change. >> we cannot risk putting a climate denier in the white house at all. that is absolutely unacceptable. >> leaked e-mails from the clinton campaign show an aide checked with the justice department about lawsus over her e-mails. >> hillary clinton is one disclosure away from potentially have this race flip-flop once again. >> she's sending top democrats to swing states to talk about trump's lewd comments on women. >> i, too, believe in forgiveness and redemption, but that doesn't mean i'm going to elect the person president. >> now, the white house is denying that the contact the clinton campaign has had with the justice department while they were investigating her e-mails, that there was anything wrong with it. >> going to mr. trump celebrating that he can take the shackles off his campaign, is that going to endear him to his own existing base of support but

not so much the swing voters? >> exactly. it's that middle ground that he really needs to catch up with, especially now that he's losing support with the party. >> great stuff, tracie potts in washington. a new reuters poll gives hillary clinton an eight point lead over donald trump. the survey was taken after the tape scandal and sunday night's debate. as for who won the showdown, 53% of those polled say clinton. >> which is a surprise to some. >> clearly a tough weekend for him, but many thought he did better in the second debate. >> over the first debate. >> yeah. >> we have already moved on to sports. the cub s clinching a ticket to the national championship series. the cubs trailed san francisco 5-2 in the ninth inning, but they rallied with four runs

good morning. profit warnings, samsung slashing guidance amid its galaxy note crisis. and ericsson shares plunging after demand for mobile broadband is weak. a new day and new round of tests for stocks. the fed front and center ahead of the release of fomc minutes. and the top trending stories including covergirl's first ever coverboy. all the news on that coming up. it's wednesday, october 12, 2016. you're watching "worldwide exchange" on cnbc. ♪ good morning. warm welcome to "worldwide exchange" on cnbc.

i'm wilfred frost. seema, welcome. >> thank you. good morning, wolf. let's check global markets this morning at 5:30 a.m. eastern. looking at u.s. futures pointing to a higher open. yesterday the dow lost 200 points making it the worst daily performance for the dow jones since september 13 of 2016. healthcare the worst performing sector. the dow calling for a higher open by 12 points, nasdaq up by 4. we have two fed speakers and the release of the september fomc minutes that will be in focus as well. europe, stocks are mixed overall. a lot of focus on the ftse 100 which hit a 2016 intraday high yesterday on the back of the weakness in the pound. with the resurgence in the uk currency, looking at stocks lower. france and germany following suit. italy and spain are higher on the day. in asia, risk sentiment

downbeat following the weakness we saw in the u.s. weaker currency in china sparking some concern among global i investors. shanghai composite ending lower a as did the nikkei. oil prices slipped about 1% yesterday. they are bouncing back by a half percent today. we are just above $51 a barrel for wti. let's look at the ten ov-ye treasury note. yesterday, 1.774% yields a little bit higher once again today. big moves in the yield over the last 2 1/2 weeks or so where we were just down 1.5% recently. there are the dollar pairs for you. yesterday markedly stronger which did weigh on stocks, particularly against the pound. also against the likes of the

euro. the dollar a bit stronger against the euro today. fractionally stronger against the yen. the pound is rebounding and is up 1% today. it found a bottom yesterday. also news that there will be a debate in parliament around the brexit terms, hard versus soft, all that goes with it. but not a vote. if the bounce back is relating to an expectation of a vote in parliament, that might be overdone. just a discussion. oil prices were soft yesterday, but they're up today, gold, 1.257. oil producers and companies are gathering in istanbul at the world energy conference. steve sedgwick joins us live from there. what can we expect from leaders and any focus on that opec meeting in late november? >> great to hear from you. i had a terrific run the last

couple of days. i've been speaking to the secretary-general of opec, spoke to the russian oil minister, just adding that regardless of what igor sachin says, he is backing his president. he was talking about historic cooperation. i think what is interesting is a contribution i had from the uae oil minister, close ally with saudi arabia. he is talking about a freeze and what it means for the able for a cut as well. listen and i'll explain what i mean after that. >> i think most of the countries have reach their level of production and are at commercial constraints of the price. now it's freezing production, if you freeze production you have natural decline, or you're

increasing. >> do you get the point? if you get a freeze, you potentially get a cut. if you freeze and freeze investment, the natural rate of decline means you get less utility out of your wells, you're not replacing the infrastructure, you're freezing production, so you're getting a natural cut. i think that's what we are seeing in some of these countries. russia producing about $11 million barrels a day. can you continue on if you don't reinvest? probably not. it's a nuance, a subtlety, but maybe some weight that some deal can be done. great exchange between alexander novak, and the boss of total in my panel yesterday. novak said it is all well getting us to cut production, but what about you international oil companies? are you going to cut production?

he said, no, we're not, it's a point of pride, but we grow production, too. can you imagine in exxon or chevron or a big company says we're cutting production, i think the shareholders would have a revolt. >> steve, interesting point, the difference between those two. even before we get to the debate about the companies, summing up what we've seen from the individual countries in the last couple of weeks, they've gone further than the last couple of years. russians have gotten involved. are you con if i different this deal will be seen through and that the rally we've seen in oil prices off the back of it is justified? >> absolutely not. no. i've been around too long. but what i will say is i think the power of verbal intervention from the i'm majors and from the major oil producers is phenomenal. it's way greater than kuroda,

carney and draghi can dream of. here's my point. prealgiers, we were trading up, and then $7 a barrel before abating the last session. 15% on the oil price, on the back of that. they don't have to deliver too much in terms of getting a consensus to freeze, not spend more money on certain declining wells. then -- then you'll get some form of stability. i went through these big oil men. some were ministers, not one thought volatility would disappear. that's a really important point. they thought there would be shorter cycles, technology means you can bring on wells and take them off quickly, as we've seen in the revolution of shale. volatility will continue regardless of price and regardless of a deal coming out from opec or not. i have been around too long for

that. >> steve, thank you very much that. goldman sachs also following your lead, skeptical of the deals. the fed could play a role in the trading. minutes from last month's fomc meeting will be released. and two fed presidents will be speaking. just one notable earnings report today. railroad operator csx, which reports after the close. then we pick up as the week ticks on. watch shares of samsung. the smartphonemaker slashing its forecasts b s by a third after galaxy note recall. shares down 0.6%. ericsson taking a hit after the firm issued a profit warning, this a week after the telecom equipment firm announced plans to slash 20% of its

domestic work force. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg and his wife have hired a technical lead to help them give away billions. the couple promised to give away all of their wealth to cure all diseases, now amazon executive brian pinkerton is joining the initiative. he said his team could grow to a couple hundred people over the next few years. walmart hiked the salaries to entry level managers from $45,000 a year to $48,000 s a year. the new rule for overtime which will take effect in december will require employers to pay overtime to salaried workers earning less than $47,500 a year which is double the current threshold. the new hikes will shield walmart from those additional costs. amazon is launching a paid music service that will cost $8 per month or $80 for the year for prime members.

non-prime members will pay $10 a month, echo owners will pay $4. amazon already has prime music but that only has about 2 million songs. the e-commerce giant says the new service has tens of millions of tunes. now to today's top trending stories. looks like there will be one less clown on the streets this halloween. mcdonald's announcing plans to limit public appearance of its mascot, ronald mcdonald. the decision comings as neighborhoods across the u.s. are on edge after a series of scares involving people dressed as clowns. the sightings are terrorizing children and authorities are taking it very seriously. probably for the best. >> #creepyclowns has been trending. >> exactly. >> which seems a little unfair as we approach halloween. toriticize people for it. there we go. next trending story, halloween costume from an online retailer turning heads. the costume is inspired by kim

kardashian's paris robbery. the yooutfit comes with a white robe, fake gag, and a fake $4 million ring. >> the criticism she has received since she was the one where the burglars came in and stole her diamonds. amazing to see the negative tone. >> i'm excited about that. >> i go quite big for halloween. >> i do i like a good costume party. >> do you know what you will be? >> i do but i'm not telling you yet. the next story, meet covergirl's first ever cover boy. james charles will be the new brand ambassador. the high school senior is a makeup artist with nearly 500,000 social media followers. he will appear in print, on television and digital ads with cover girl's other brand ambassador katy perry. he said he hopes this shows that anyone and everyone can wear

makeup and do anything if they work hard. >> i'm wearing makeup. >> we all do. do what you got to do. still to come, the must reads. first, check out trading in europe at this hour. we are pretty much mixed. no significant declines. but all three major indices below flat.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." to the must read stories catching our attention. my pick is titled the markets have taught theresa may a hard lesson on sovereignty. this from martin wolf. a long article, about six pages, he was a fierce remainer, he's critical of the stronger stance on brexit. he writes the uk's poor past export performance suggests the depreciation is still not big enough to generate the needed shift in the structure of the economy towards production of tradable goods and services. it's quite likely the huge current deficits will be unsustainable post brexit. if so, the uk will need a big decline in aggregate spend iing. he's very critical. i think he's fair to say this

fall in sterling, we've seen a beg boost in the ftse 100 off the back of it, it's wrong to extrapolate off the ftse's rally that that means the economy will well. the ftse's rally is not because exports are picking up but a translation effect from foreign earnings. so boosts accounting earnings for ftse 100 companies with earnings abroad, not exports because the manufacturing export is very small for the uk economy. >> looking at the ftse 100 and the ftse 250, which is more domestically owned companies, that sheds light on the impact of the currency. >> absolutely right. this is a detailed analysis of the uk situation. >> my pick is in the "wall street journal," a transatlantic revolt against the central bankers no one would disagree that disappointing economic results since the 2008 meltdown

have spawn ed political agitation, people want change. but it's interesting, quite telling, that the imf assuming democratically determined outcomes make things worse. not seeing turnarounds in these economies puts pressure on results, and provides more ammunition to the pop list paul parties. >> in this article they're saying parties on the right, trump here, and new conservative government in the uk are uniting against loose policy. they miss the same party is still in government in the uk.

they can pretend they've always been against it to capture more of those disillusioned voters they missed out on before. two uk-focused must reads. approaching the top of the hour, so the team is getting ready for "squawk box." melissa lee has a look at what's coming up. >> i ronically, will, you'll be here in about an hour or so. we have a great show. as we progress to the premarket session, our number one mission is to figure out what went on with stocks. the worst day for stocks since the 1st of september. you have to ask is it the dollar, dollar index at the highest level, or the rates. we have a couple of big ceos on. you guys have been talking about barracu

barracuda. the stock is up about 10% in the premarket session. woe have b.j. jenkins on. and the ceo from yum brands, what's ahead with their spinoff of yum china and what they're seeing for taco bell. i know you can enjoy a taco here and there, right? >> i am. but i'm often brought up for how i mispronounce it -- i say taco. it's taco? >> taco. which is correct? >> taco. >> i will get that right by the time i get in. >> i can say pizza hut and kfc. >> you got an hour and 13 minutes. >> all right. great stuff. see you in a bit. coming up on "worldwide exchange," we're waiting on insii insight from the fed. john silvia is coming up next.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." let's get you up to speed on the market action. yesterday significant declines for u.s. equities. every s&p sector was negative. the nasdaq down 1.5%. we are expecting a bounce back today. as you can see, only fractional, about six points for the dow. essentially flat in the premarket. let's look at some other asset classes around the world. currencies, one of the reasons we were so soft in equity markets yesterday is because the dollar was so strong. particularly strong against the pound. the pound rebounding a bit today. 1% rebound. 1.2245. elsewhere, the dollar is still strong. not as much as yesterday, but about 0.3% strength against the euro. looking at europe, lost a bit of momentum in the last hour. we were broadly flat, now negative. nothing too pronounced. the pound -- the ftse 100

sliding one-third of 1% as the pound has rallied. oil prices slipped 1% yesterday. that 1% slide in perspective to significant gains recently, we are bouncing back again today, just shy of 51 bucks on wti. seema? >> let's continue the market discussion. joining us from charlotte, north carolina is john silvia from wells fargo securities. good morning to you. good to see you. following a barrage of hawkish commentary from fed speakers this week, all eyes on the meeting minutes what are you look at? >> three elements we need to focus in on. to what extent is the inflation model working? to what extent are they bringing in the global outlook, especially after the imf has lowered its global economic expectations. finally, what about asset prices?

i know eric rosengrin for some kind of bubble territory, to what extent that applies to other areas. >> john, as we look ahead to november and december off the back of that, what are the key data points you're focused on, specifically the data points that need to change in order to see the fed to act? >> whilst the market tends to look at employment number, i think it's the inflation numbers. the fed has to look at some increase in inflation. commodity prices, oil pretty much stabilized. i think the inflation data is the most important. that's the evidence suggesting that their model for the overall economy and inflation expectati expectations has really turned and justified higher federal funds rate. without the inflation numbers, we could continue at current levels for the federal funds rate for quite awhile.

>> we've seen yields pick up significantly in the last couple of weeks. the ten-year has gone from 1.5 to loclosely 1.8. is that pricing in a rate hike this year or other factors? >> i think it's pricing in just the rate hike. i don't think there is an expectation of stronger economic growth. as we mentioned, the imf expectations have been lowered. inflation still has not picked up when looking at the core pce deflator. from the fed's point of view and the market's point of view, it's only the fed telling us they're going to raise rates in december that has moved that ten-year rate. >> if we look at macro environment what is the biggest international risk to the central bank's policy? is it china or europe and the distress we're seeing in the banking sector? >> i think the issue for us is

the global trade, and global trade growth being basically zero. so once again, when you look at the united states, this is going to be another year looking forward to 2017 where trade subtracts from economic growth. you have so many countries in southeast asia, china, japan, south korea having an export growth model. if export growth is zero, then you have a real issue. i think that's the number one story that global growth and trade has slowed down. and that is really hurting a lot of these exporting-oriented countries. >> john, we saw a selloff yesterday for u.s.equities. lots of factors mentioned out there including the stronger dollar, the yields, but also one of the factors that spooked markets was a selloff in the pound. should u.s. investors be wary of that again ahead of brexit?
