macron's party won 28% of the vote followed by conservative republicans at 16% and the far right national front with 14%. what we care b it'sabout, it's win for macron and what that could mean for equities. >> he has to get through round two next week, but the forecasts are he will get 400 of the 577 seats in parliament, a majority that theresa may could dream of. people questioned when he was starting his new party that even if he won the presidency, could he govern effectively? would he be able to win seats? looks like he will be able to. but on top of that, this is a vote of confidence and vote of authority for his reform agenda. it's a good thing for pro europe reformists >> sure. we're talking about eurozone, second largest economy >> we are. let's talk about the european union's second biggest economy, the uk.

british prime minister theresa may reappointed most of her cabinet yesterday but also brought in a former rival into the government in a bid to unite hez party. michael gove returned to be environment minister he told sky news he was surprised to get the invitation. gove also has clashed with theresa may in the past when she was home secretary the bottom line in terms of what we're looking at now, is that what does it mean for brexit negotiations and what also -- how much longer can she stay in post i think over the weekend, many people thought she could leave imminently but the fact that boris johnson pulled away a bit from challenging her makes it look like she will get through the summer >> when it comes to the news of gove i wanted your thoughts what a remarkibility comeback for a man who got involved with

political drama last year. >> absolutely right. we'll get a perspective from london peter spiegel joins us from the "the financial times." extra oordinary result. theresa may, how long does she got? >> as you said, it looked like it could be days or hours after the election results became clear friday morning or thursday night/friday morning she does seem to have stayed off the biggest risk, boris johnson. it's interesting when luke at the reshuffle. you're right michael gove is back in, she's also brought in leading pro remain aides and ministers. her new chief of staff is a pro eu who campaigned for remain she has the balance of this now, because she has to rely on 13 scottish tories. that was the big gains for the tories was in scotland 12 new seats at 13 now. they are incredibly froe eu.

they're trying to balance a rump of the political party which has always been hard lined, hard brexit that clearly failed and she's trying to win back some of the soft brexit pro remain people. i think what we'll see over the next coming days, weeks and summer is this division over europe which has plagued the tory party for decade also come back to the fore may is saying full speed ahead we'll start talks again this week or next week. the europeans are questioning whether the brits have any authority to negotiate a deal. it's been a huge mess. >> >> pepeter, you mentioned thr versus soft brexit that has implications for the pound longer term. there's also the debate in the tory manifesto of no deal is better than a bad deal does the partnership confirm

that the tories have to push for a deal of some form? is that good for the pound >> i think what is good for the pound. the big thing for the pound is this idea of the soft brexit forces reasserting themselves. the reason the pound fell so sharply throughout the may government was because this belief she is hell bent on getting out of the single market, getting out of the customs union. we have seen in the last 24, 48 hours is business interests reasserting itself saying you have not listened to us over the first year of your premiership you murs nst now listen to us. the dup, a hard right party on social issues, they are concerned about a new border with the republic of ireland they're pushing for membership in the custom union. the scots, she has a big group of mps pushing for open brexit we're not sure what that means it is not the old school theresa

may hard brexit out. that's good for the pound, good for growth and it's also good for companies looking to stay or go from the uk the financial sector being the most important of them who are thinking about moving to frankfurt, amsterdam, paris. that could mean they keep behind hundreds if not thousands of people they were thinkthinking t moving overseas. >> may 19th, next monday, the date that brexit talks are meant to begin secondly, the date of the queen's speech which will essentially be a vote of confidence over the following week for theresa may and the new government she assembleassemble. >> uk politics never ceases to be interesting. coming up on the show, preet bharara weighing no, i don't

justice case against trump >> i think a lot of people will tell you that the president himself makes accusations that turn out not to be true. when it comes down to who is telling the truth and who is not, most people would side reasonably with james comey. >> preet bharara was fired with 45 other u.s. attorneys, even though he said he had assurances from president trump that he could stay in his job. among the top stories in washington, attorney general jeff sessions expected to testify in front of the senate today about the russia probe edward lawrence has the latest >> reporter: attorney general jeff sessions was supposed to testify on tuesday but supposed to go in front of the senate and house appropriations committee that is a peb foublic forum. by agreeing to testify with the senate intelligence committee he has the option or the committee has the option to make this a

closed door hearing. democrats obviously would want this to be out in the public some republicans are saying that attorney general jeff sessions hopes this goes behind closed doors and avoiding a public spectacle. there's a possible third undisclosed meeting that apparently may have happened and he will be asked about that. he will be asked whether the president tried to interfere or influence the russia probe >> we have another testimony coming in from the secretary of defense, jim mattis. that starts tonight and continues throughout the week. we knows there been ongoing criticism about trump's proposal for the 6$600 billion defense budget >> he will be peppered on specifics about the budget, where the money will go, what it will be used for the cuts in the president's budget are from other areas that

have some programs and resources that some folks around the country would like to use. gutting possibly the department of education and other departments. so congress or senators want to know where this money will be going, what it will be used for and how important it is to have all of this money in one place rather than spreading it out now to sports. the pittsburgh penguins are kings of the ice they beat the national predators 2-0 in game six of the stanley cup finals last night to wrap up the series and repeat as nhl's champs sidney crosby was named mvp of the finals this is the fifth stanley cup for the team i missed this, i did watch nadal win the french open. >> with ease good to see him back >> absolutely.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange" i'm wilfred frost with seema mody let's check in on the futures action we're expecting more weakness as we saw on friday, particularly led by the tech sector the nasdaq expected to open down 51 points. the dow bodown 42. the nasdaq down 1.8% on friday oil prices, which were down 3.5% for the week last week but did recover half a percent on friday are recovering again, $45.95. my pick is in the financial

time, titled phillip hammond is the politician to salvage a brexit deal. there is no sense an apology will emerge from the ashes of mrs. may's defeat. mr. johnson is not alone in seeing the brexit vote and the aftermath as an opportunity for personal advancement rather than a threat to national prosperity and security mr. hammond should take the opportunity to make the counter case a lot of talk about whether theresa may will make it the next week or year. and phillip hammond is a name that may be considered for the most part theresa may seems stronger than she did 24 hours ago. my pick is titled the trump budget still short changes the military since 2010 the defense budget has been cut by more than 20%,

but the world has not become 20% safer. to get planes, ships and equipment ready to deploy to the middle east, the military has had to take parts off of other planes, ships and units. this has diminished america's readiness. the american military is not ready to carry out missions it may be asked to do in times of war. this may be a discussion as the secretary of defense, jim mattis heads to the hill. he is testifying in front of the senate where trump's proposed defense budget will be the topic of discussion. >> jeff sessions will be in focus this week. one would say after the huge focus on various testimonies last week, there's more economic data to focus on this week and the fed meeting, so we can hopefully transition away from the political headlines. approaching the top of the hour. the team is getting ready for "squawk box. joe kernen has a view of what's

coming up from new york. >> hi, wilf, how are you >> i'm all right how about you? sounds like you're not all right? >> big weekend hot. finally got hot. i got a little air conditioning problem. it's all right trying to glean what i can from this tech wreck. you will see that term today we like to rhyme a lot of times. we'll use it if we can that was interesting on friday for people who said we have gone too far too fast they always pointed out what was leading us there's five stocks leading us it's not really f.a.n.g. anymore. google is not g., it's an "a." apple is not in there. it's amazon. so it should be f.a.a.a.n.g. >> sounds like you need a good fan if you're air conditioning

is broken. >> just in one room -- one ring. >> o wing as goes all these stocks, maybe this is indicative of just a bit of foreshocks -- is that a -- that's the opposite of an aftershock we'll see. it's something to keep an eye on definitely today if you add up the market cap i've been saying it for a while, pick some big companies, well known companies. add them up. add up facebook, amazon, apple, couple others, it's unbelievable how much market cap is concentrated in those names. it wouldn't take much for some air to come out of those and affect everything. summer, sell in may, go away, all that stuff >> definitely the tech selloff affected asian trade a lot of asian tech companies down you would say the flip side, we

did see offsetting moves on friday, energy up, and banks up. so weelt ha'll have to see if i rotation or sparks a selloff we'll see you in 11 minutes time >> we'll see you. coming up on "worldwide exchange," we'll kick off a big week with housing data, jobless claims and a fed meeting we'll set you up for "worldwide exchange" when we return think again. this is the new new york. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange" i'm wilfred frost along with seema mody. this week the fed kicks off a two-day policy meeting right now futures pointing lower. tech leading that weakness as it did on friday. the nasdaq down 50 points in the premarket. let's bring in joe lavonic important to touch on this tech selloff first. is it encouraging that it's

mainly one sector focused as opposed ed td to driven by eco data >> it is the tech has done well because a lot of companies have monopoly pricing power which is unique to their business my guess is that its temporary the overall equity market typically doesn't peak until the onset of a recession is almost at hand. that's not the case now. >> so we look ahead to a heavy week of economic data release and also the fed meeting what's top of the agenda for you? >> the fed meeting is central to the trading. i'm sure over the next few months it will set the tone. yellen and company will release new forecasts. it's not just a statement but what the new forecasts show and what the fed believes it will do the rest of this year and next year in terms of interest rates. but also before we get that

meeting statement, we get data on retail sales and inflation, cpi. those two figures could impact the tone of the statement because what we noticed over the past couple of months is a fixed income market saying what the fed intends to do beyond this meeting is very much different than what the fed itself wants to do. so the market is pricing very little tightening beyond this meeting. >> do you think thefed will trigger another rate hike, especially as we see the ongoing uncertainty around the president's pro business policies the economic data has been good on the jobs front but a first quarter gdp number that was soft and a rise in inflation has not been consistent. >> that's right. last friday wholesale inventories was much weaker. my guess is a lot of analysts may have taken down the q2 estimate the data has been okay political uncertainty may be a

factor but my guess is the fed will buy the option based on how the data evolves, and the fed won't make meaningful changes but rather give themselves the opportunity to continue to tighten rates if the economy evolves as the consensus of members suggests. which means whether you believe it or not they'll go again this week hike the second half of the year if you look at the median dots, the fed has hikes, so i think that will be the case. >> if the fed does hike, will that spark a move in yields and the u.s. dollar? both have been flat and weak recently >> it will depent d on what jan yellen says. if the fed seems more hawkish, the yield curve will continue to flatten. as you said, the short-term inflation dynamics have been positive

the only way you'll get the yield curve actually yields to rise significantly is if you had more inflation pressure which in the short-term does not seem to be present, or if the fed was to get much more aggressive on what it intends to do with the balance sheet. >> joe, right now look at nasdaq futures down about 48 points the dow off by 30. if this selloff continues in equities, could this spark a rotation into bonds? if so, where are yields headed from there >> most of the money this year has flown into bonds at the expense of equities. this has been a theme we've seen for a while. there might be a rotation within equities, seems to be that case on friday as wilfred was saying. went fromtechnology into industrials, energy and financials the thing is, as i said earlier, bull markets die because the economy is about ready to slow

dramatically so, unless you get very pessimistic on the economy, the outlook for corporate profits is excellent. interest rates are very low. yes, i would treat this mainly as a rotation i'm sure once those stocks stabilize you will see higher technology prices that's the one area of the economy what's doing very well and we have not hit the highs for the s&p yet in the cycle. oil prices, you're not concerned that the weakness we saw in them last week is a sign of an upcoming recession >> not at all. typically recessions occur because of major imbalances in the economy often driven by excessively tight monetary policy oil is range bound at a low price. as we know in the u.s., those shale fraccers can produce good profits even at those low prices >> joe, thank you very much. ten seconds to go.

keep an eye not just on u.s. futures but european and asian trade both soft. that's it for "worldwide an fange." thksor joining us. "squawk box" is next it has the same great taste it's always had. even the same sound. [sfx: buschhhhh] [sfx: eagle cries]
