up. we're debating would u.s. debt seem less attractive. we'll know in a relative risk off trade it's the equities being sold and bonds being bought. brexit we could see that continue on a trump election victory if it happens and then unwind some months later. that initial trade was buying of uk gilts will we see the u.s. treasuries have been bought. >> a fed day. that has to factor in at some point after the reaction of the fed statement today. we'll see as we start to get more polls for election. the trade in europe is weaker. we have lower oil prices which has weighed the dax down almost a full percent. more than a percent decline for italy and spain. ftse 100 bucking the trend it's down the least of the major averages across the continent at half of a percent.

last week which is that the polls are a lot closer. we've made comparison to brexit and the key difference is the electoral map. it's not a national poll as brexit was. but one of the key factors that have been different is the polls were a long way apart. the polls are now close but betting odds are still wide. stimulus lar to brexit. >> wide but moving. unlikes brexit which had more than a 90% chance. i get your point. >> there are swing factors like turn out, like people that don't necessarily turn up in the polls that can vote which compared to brexit. the electoral map and geographical split. >> the market is pricing in that risk of almost 30% chance. in other washington news obamacare health exchanges, healthercare.gov opened for 2017 enrollment. the process began yesterday.

♪ good morning. welcome back to "worldwide exchange". i'm sara eisen. >> i'm wilfred frost. good morning to you from me as well. let's get straight to global market action. yesterday we saw declines six days in a row of declans for the s&p and nasdaq, four days in a row -- some s&p and nasdaq six days in a row, dow four days in a row. 0.6% roughly the size of the decline so not too significant by that measure we're looking at declines once again which just extended the last half an hour. we were 50 points down for the dow now down 72 points. let's look at the vix. a lot of attention on that yesterday. rose to 20. below that level today. but still edging higher as you can see overall.

we have momentum in selling. >> it's happening so quickly to what we're seeing in the stock market that has people taking note and clearly traders adding to their protection over the next week or so. is size of the declines were more muted than we've seen around the rest of the world. europe was down 1% yesterday. down sharply again today. you can see about 0.8%. 0.7% for germany and france respectively. asia down because of dollar weakness and yen strengthening and that's hurt the nikkei. hong kong down almost 1.5% catching up with wall street declines and fears about possibility of donald trump winning, course, the mexican some is one gauge but asian trade would be affected we expect by a donald trump

presidency. >> merging markets at risk, a lot of traders say. as for the broader picture oil is under pressure. api noted a build in stockpiles. we'll get u.s. government data later. wti crude is back below $46 a barrel, retracing its steps higher. it is down 1.6%. brent is down to 47.40 down 1.5%. gasoline prices giving back yesterday's double digit gains. buying a safe-haven government bonds which is interesting when you get along selling of the u.s. dollar. buying the ten year and yields go below 1.80 ahead of the fed statement at 2:00 p.m. eastern time. weak dollar across the board. weaker across the euro which has gone above 1.10. weaker against the yen,

safe-haven there at 103.60. and the peso this is the ultimate trump proxy it has lost 3% of its value since friday when those headlines hit that the fbi is looking into mr. e mails of hillary clinton. that's the dollar spiking against the peso over the last week or so. it's not at a record low, the peso. we saw that back in september. it's moving south as trump's momentum gains in the polls and betting odds. trump seen as a negative for the mexican economy said he'll re-open nafta and make mexico pay for a wall. either way that's the one to keep an eye on. gold is trading at a one month high on the rising uncertainty factor. it's up another three quarters of a percent. >> fed and jobs data top the list. october adp report out at 8:15

a.m. eastern. the fed wraps up its two day meeting with a statement due out at 2:00 p.m. alibaba, time warner and este lauder and after the bell we'll hear from facebook, qualcomm and aig. let's talk more about markets and the impact of the election drawing closer. tom, good morning to you. thank you for joining us. it is about time we saw the market react more to the election or is this an outsize worry. >> we've been waiting to see this kind of reaction all along. so far through the campaign cycles, through the primaries, the market has been quite muted in its response. we're seeing a little bit of volatility. you're seeing the vix tick up a little bit. interestingly, though, if you look back to four years ago when obama was last elected, we're actually right about where the

vix levels were then. given the candidates involved i would actually expect the vix to be a bit higher than where we are now. >> most betting sites, 538 have a trump chance of 20% to 30% at this point. is that what's getting priced in or do we have more down side to go? and does that necessarily conclude that a trump presidency would be a wild card for the market? >> i think you have to conclude a trump presidency is, versus a clinton presidency definitely the more the wild card for the market. i would argue, actually the reason volatility might not be so much about just the anxiety around the election but also the anxiety building about what is just past the election, which is the next fed rate hike and policies that could be implemented by -- >> isn't that priced in. do you think there's anxiety? >> we saw this last year when we

had the december hike in the volatility immediately after, i think there are some market participants that would thereof see that decision pushed off and off into twist. >> how you position yourself at the moment given these headline macro risks. >> few things. just from a general asset allocation standpoint we haven't made any dramatic shifts in our portfolio, relevant stocks to bonds. we did a few things around brexit. we trimmed development international back. within sectors there are ways to play the election. i think one of the most noted one is potential impact on hillary clinton would have on pharmaceuticals and biotech. that's actually an area we've opted to step into a bit more recently given the recent weakness valuations are tremendous and if you can find

companies like allergen that have great pipelines and offered great valuations right now we see them as an opportunity to step up there. >> aren't they posting weaker earnings relevaative to the resf the markets? >> certainly has been this season. there's obviously volatility about the pricing and where that's going go. again, our view as long term investors for boston private clients we're not looking to the next quarter we're looking to the many quarters beyond. if we can get what we think is a strong franchise with a great pipeline and own that for many years we'll take that. >> there's a story this morning microsoft has been exposed to a russian hack. you let that stock go despite that? >> yes. smft a name we own very broadly. we own it in our dividend portfolios. we own it in our core equity portfolios. continues to grow that dividend

very aggressively over time. great long term holding for a portfolio. this particular bit of news wouldn't impact our views. >> anything the fed could say today that would change your opinion or make you think differently one way or another? >> short of them saying like we're not going raise rates any time soon, i think this particular meeting is all about setting the stage for december, and making people quite certain, you know, that september will happen so that we process that. the december rate hike. >> if you remember, guys, the time, last year when this happened the meeting before the december meeting, the fed put explicitly in its statement quote determining whether it's appropriate to raise the target range an its next meeting. do you think they will do that again today >> they are very good at telegraphing things and i think this will be incredibly well telegraphed for december.

now to this morning's must-reads. sara is not good muff to make the cut. in "financial times," my pick,

political activist at city, the police is titled investors face political risk whoever wins in the u.s. election. mr. trump may be heading to defeat, but the prevalence of low trust, identity politics and demographic divides across the developed world suggests that he will not be the last nonmainstream candidate to come to power. this conconsistently jays of risks will be in evidence before elections next year in germany, france and the netherlands and will have a significant impact on the brexit negotiations. moreover a clinton presidency is highly likely to be marked binary-continuous investigations. >> some of these wild card things happening. lots of political rhetoric that can disturb markets something that didn't used to happen in the developed world. she's saying it's here to stay particularly in europe next year and likely in the u.s. whatever the result of the elections snap how do you price that in? to me it says volatility in

currencies. that's where you see the currency market was paying attention this election way before the stock market and that's where you see the relative sort of values of the different countries. >> we'll have to read the "financial times". >> great must-read. so good i didn't need to do one. when we come back decision day for the fed. no change expected. but investor want to know what hints janet yellen and company might slip into that accompanying statement. we'll get an analysis from bruce kasman when we come back. honey, aren't we having friends over? it reeks in here.

welcome back. we're called lower at the open. dow by 65 points, following 0.6 or 0.7% declines yesterday on a day where volatility spiked. we also have a look around the rest of the world. european shares are a bit lower still and have declined more than u.s. markets down.7,.8% for german trade.

asian trade was sharply lower. significant move in the nikkei as the yen strengthened for two days of dollar weakness. nikkei soft to the tune of 1.5%. we're approaching the top of the hour. the team is getting ready for box. >> good morning. we like you guys will be following the market jitters as the polls are narrowing between two presidential candidates. we have holman jenkins editorial writer for the "wall street journal" who will be with us to talk about the race and what will happen in the next less than a week. it feels a little bit like groundhog day. it's getting very close. getting very tense. and the markets are definitely reacting to that. id li i would like to say you should go back and watch all of the jimmy kimmel halloween candy videos from the last five years and tell us if you still think it's cruel or if you get a laugh

out of it. they are pretty good. >> i got a laugh but it was a cruel laugh. we needed to see some of the happy bits at the end. >> someone who is a godfather to multiple children just makes you aware that manners are very important. the reactions of a lot of the kids are very different. >> that's probably true. i get that side of it. what i saw i thought was amusing but cruel. thank you very much. we look forward to "squawk box" in nine minutes time. >> some people can take a joke better than others. fed will wrap up a two day decision with a meeting at 2:00 p.m. eastern time. joining us now is bruce kasman. the last time at this time last year before the first interest rate hike in a decade the fed outlined that it was considering doing it at the quote next meeting. couldn't get more explicit than that. do you expect the same kind of language out of today's

announcement? >> no. they don't need to do what they did last year partly because they put in a strong statement at the last meeting. last year at this time the market hadn't been pricing in a large probability of a hike. they felt at the time a need to move more forcefully. >> my question is if they don't do that will they get accused -- it's a lose-lose situation. will they get accused of being a little politically focused watching the results of the election and maybe seeing that as big uncertainty factor on the economy, the markets and their policy? >> well, i think, obviously the fed is going to be signalling to us that they are likely to be moving in december but not giving us any commitments. there's obviously a case not a large case that financial markets move after the election, something in the data, two employment reports before the meeting could throw them off course. this is not a move that's done. it's not a political call, it's a call about how they see the

politics influencing markets in the economy that has a maul role to play here as we look towards the december decision. >> bruce, we've seen of course the $rally in expectations of a fed hike and sell off more recently because of political fears. is that justified? do you think the dollar can suffer more as we get closer to the election? >> i think it's pretty clear that if there was a trump victory the degree of uncertainty would have a market effect and that's what we're seeing as the race tightens. we'll see the outcome of the election next week. the fed will process the markets and process the data. the likely scenario is we're sitting here and they make a move in december. that's what they will give us in the statement a further stepping towards that decision. >> is the market moves as we approach the election if we see a trump victory one supportive of bond prices and yields falling? >> i think if we get a trump victory and the degree of

uncertainty that that will create i think it's going to be a negative for u.s. assets which means negative for u.s. dollar. effect on bond markets is ambiguous. i wouldn't push for a significant rally on the bond yield. >> short term and long term is that your view? >> long term we have to see how that uncertainty plays out. our view is the economy will do reasonably well over the next year. so our baseline view is that yields do move higher. >> you put out an interesting note about the end of the disinflation shock that's done so much damage on the u.s. economy, held back earnings and end growth and inflation. do you see us at an inflection point and what's the impact on the markets? >> i see that. it's obviously a global story as well. from the u.s. point of view profits that have been falling for a year and a half.
