good morning. oil prices trading near three month lows. the markets brace for a possible interest rate hike from the feds and a critical brexit vote. everything you need to watch straight ahead. >> wall street's top cop was fired over the weekend after refusing to quit. latest coming up. it is march 13th, 2017. "world wide exchange" starts now. ♪ i can't feel my face when i am

with you ♪ >> along with courtney regan. good to have you with us. let's get straight to the global market action. >> let's get trait to where we will start off as we indicate ahead of the official market. the nasdaq applied to open flat and this is after we saw the embassies close slightly higher on friday. all indications are forward looking for that fed hike this coming week andts to the rr sort of where the market is really focussed. that of korts bal psing what we could see with the political uncertainty out of europe on a couple of different levels and events coming up there. as we could take a look at what's going on with the tenure. we have pulled back from that 2.6 plus level that we saw on

friday. still, if you're sitting at 2.657, very interesting to be able to watch this when we're expecting 90 plus certainty that we're going to see a hike. >> and they still ended the week higher than they had started but thursday afternoon and friday they came back again after those highs. as you rightly say the real expectation is not so much march's hike but in terms of what we'll hear whether we'll have two, three, four hooiks throughout the rest of the year. in terms of the equities performance, we did see profit taking. s&p and dow down about half a percent. negative week overall. something to keep in mind. nothing too significant. >> really did start this

downward trend and they were saying that was causing him a little bit of concern. i think we are down about 2% for the week. >> and there's a good write up on that. there's risks to the down side. some data overnight from asia. fell 3.2% in january. they're viewed as a leading indicator of capital spending. meanwhile, jap ware whole sale prices rose 0.2% month over month. we did have the nikkei up last week. today, as you can see across the board, it's not just the fed meeting, also bank of japan and england and swiss national bank and nordic national bank. most notably for us, the fed and the bank of japan. al let's have a look at european

equities. we did see profit taking. europe had been on a decent run the prior week. last week we saw the dax down about half a percent. we just ticked into green territory for all of the embassies in the last half hour. burt the gains very slight around 1/10 of 1% for germany. >> starting with oil. this plunge is really quite interesting. 9 to 10% from last week into right now. we see wti below 49%. but still we're looking at the value below $49. still hangs on to the 51 handle. but hitting three month lows. inventory at record highs. so we could be set here to drop for a sixth straight day if we hold this sort of action

throughout the session. very interesting move in the price of oil as equities tend to be following this as of late. if we could see -- >> i'd say equities definitely following oil prices. >> real estate. >> and i think both in the fact of rising yields and oil prices slipping, you'd say equities are somewhat resilient. all important 2.6% level. we lost some gains. half a percent though. nothing too serious. >> let's take a lock at the dollar. we saw weakness in major currency and euro hitting a one month high after there was a report that they raised the question of possibly hiking

rates. didn't receive strong support. still, we did see the euro move on it just a bit and the pound is stronger against the dollar. >> big move in the dollar on friday. significant move to the down side at the end of the week. that wasn't so much of a surprise because we did see the rise up in yield slip up a bit. net enected the week and that to effect of the dollar was that it was down about 0.3% for its first negtv week in five. how much is already priced in, in terms of the rate hike? it seems like the dollar's already helping the fed meeting coming up this week. final thing, gold prices sliped sniff skntly.

nine straight down days for gold. gold price down only 2% last week. it's not quite hit that 10-day losing streak as prices are up 0.6%. the sheriff of wall street is out. he was fired as the united states attorney after he refused to resign. he had met with then president elect trump and jeff sessions. >> the president elect asked, presumably because he's a new yorker and aware of the great work our office has done, asked to meet with my to discuss whether or not i'd be prepared to stay on to do the work as we have done it, independently, without fear for the last seven years. we had a good meeting. i said i absolutely would

consider to stay on. >> but late friday the justice department issued an order asking all u.s. attorneys to resign. lesley, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. bharara took on critical corruption. but a key tenant is around an unprecedented string of insideer trading cases. since 2009 he filed 111 trading charges -- insider trading charges. 89 resulted in convictions. success rate of about 80%. raj was given the longest ever sentence for insider trading in history as well as sav capital, which is a hedge fund fined 1$12 billion. now the court rewrote insider

trading rules in 2014 dealing bharara's office a blow and overturning several of his convictions. but this past december, a supreme court melted the chill over insider trading cases. and he appeared to be back in business, as least until this weekend. critics of his believe he was too aggressive in handling insider trading cases. ianic has an ongoing civil case over a raid six years ago which caused the hedge fund to shutter. he said quote i am hopeful that a new u.s. attorney with no lipgs to the wrungful 1u6r7 of my office will finally hold someone accountable and will explain why a false affidavit was submitted to the court.

and joon h. kim will survl. they will post pone their settlements until a new director is named, guys. >> a lot of headlines, politicalization about this since he had been fired. is that something he's encouraging and what could be next? >> it's impossible to know what's next in terms of his career. we had tremendous careers it's difficult to know exactly what transpired at this point between november's meeting and the events of the weekend. but it's clear that this is not the last wleerl see of bharara.

>> the statement of look, i didn't resign. i was fired. why would high make this point? is it so he can lay the foundation for political campaign. >> by saying i was fired, he's making it very clear this was not at his will he is stepping down. this is something that was not his choice. this is different from what happened in november. he's definitely setting himself up for some sort of political ambitions in the future. the fed begins a two-day policy meeting tomorrow np central bank has been doing a good job and the trumped a min spration respects the feds' independence and that they will keep wirking to reduce bear
