good morning i'm sara eisen >> i'm wilfred frost good morning to you from me as well first day of summer. >> first day of summer, some major stories overnight. felt like summer in new york for the last week or so. >> though it took its time to get here >> welcome to the new york humid summer >> very hot in london. >> is it >> yes lots of people complaining because they don't have air conditioning in london new york deals with it better. we will get to lots of those breaking stories yesterday we did have a little bit of a selloff, particularly inspired by oil prices the dow down 0.3%, but it hit an intraday high before closing down a third of a percent. s&p down 0.7 nasdaq down 0.8% we are called a fraction higher for the dow, fraction lower for the s&p and nasdaq things stabilized a bit. that nasdaq decline in percentage terms is bigger than others
5:02 am
futures, oil prices, let's look at those we did lose another couple percent yesterday. losing a bit this morning. but not too much 4 43.4 that oil price slide is front and center in peoples minds. >> as for the currency boards, the u.s. dollar broadly, the dollar index remains weak. trading near the lowest level since october. weaker against the euro, just fractionally weaker against the japanese yen. it is a bit firmer against the british pound. at 1.2609. >> ahead of the queen's speech >> is it a market mover? >> it's of note because of how poorly the election went it is when the government sets out it's agenda, it's voted on next week and that vote is crucial for theresa may to get if she fails without the support
5:03 am
of other parties, it's a vote of confidence and would have to go to another election. the queen's speech is very important. usually a bold, loud statement of clear legislative agenda for the year ahead it will be much reduced with no clear sort of outlandish claims within it. so, lots of focus on the queen's speech it will be reduced. the vote on it next week is crucial. >> coming on the day when the pound fell 1% after mark carney sounded cautious on the economy as a result of brexit. the asia board the highlight was the shanghai comp, with those mainland china stocks a decision to be added to the msci, could welcome more demand and interest in chinese stocks it happens may 2018, but clearly having an impact up a half percent there. weakness in hong kong and japan with the japanese yen firmer for a second day in a row. >> what's the market chap of china's stock markets?
5:04 am
>> trillions >> trillions but if the u.s. is above 30 trillion, what do you reckon china? >> 10. >> correct >> really? >> how annoying. >> hong kong and london tied where? >> 20? >> hong kong and the uk about 4. u.s. above 30, which i was amazed china is 10 clearly second place >> we'll hit that more and go to shanghai for a live report from eunice in europe, red across the board. perhaps we're following that in u.s. equity market futures france down a percent. germany down 0.6 the ftse 100 down a quarter of 1% it's doing better. teeing off of that weaker british pound. >> some banks in germany and france doing poorly after yields slipped a bit and undermining the global reflation trade story. bonds, 2.15% that's been where we've been for the last couple of weeks gold prices as well, up today.
5:05 am
they were down yesterday >> to some breaks news overnight. uber ceo travis kalanick is out after share holders staged a revolt joining us now on the cnbc news line, the man who broke the news, mike isaac, tech correspondent from the "new york times. tell us how this went down what type of investor revolt are we looking at? >> yes so i think essentially the five of uber's biggest shareholders from some of the earliest rounds of the company essentially had enough of the prolonged sort of scandals under uber ceo travis kalanick or former ceo and so they got together and essentially sort of put together a list of what i was told was four different demands the temperature of which was that he step down. travis step down as ceo. and others were to have better
5:06 am
governments on the board have different sort of directors being named. and then also to appoint new -- appoint a new cfo which they have been without for quite some time now and a few different -- i think one other one that i'm forgetting now those are the biggest ones >> did they have outright power to do this could kalanick have pushed back if he wanted in terms of the voting rights he has does this change the path going forward for the company, whether it decides to ipo or not will it have to break the mold of facebook and snapchat in terms of not giving shareholders voting rights on these decisions? >> yes you're exactly right as far as technically travis could have stayed on and could have fought this out one scenario under -- if he decided to not step down, this probably, as i was reporting,
5:07 am
this would have spilled out into the public, have been pretty ugly for the company, and the other thing is that might have shaken investors -- other investors, a wider pool of investors in the price of the secondary shares, how they're trading now. i think that they also took that into account i do wonder in the future what sort of government structures will look like for companies, especially you can see mark zuckerberg and aaron spiegel at snapchat and outside share and voting powers of the founders. but it's hard to see someone like mike travis as an anomaly, all powerful, all knowing, really important figure that can steer these companies to a good
5:08 am
version of the future. i think there's a lot of -- mark zuckerberg has a lot to do with that >> just to read travis' statement here i love uber more than anything in the world at this difficult moment in my personal life i accepted the investors request to step aside so uber can go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight. what does uber look like without travis kalanick? who could fill this void >> that's a great question the thing about uber is it is so intertwined with travis's personality, his -- he is uber he is really the person who is largely credited with bringing them to the size they are today. operating in hundreds of cities, dozens of countries. i heard different names floated publicly i have not heard of serious candidates just in my reporting in terms of who the board is talking about for ceo.
5:09 am
one of the other conditions was to immediately call a board-led ceo search that's on the agenda now >> great stuff, mike thanks for joining us on that story. mike isaac from the "new york times. breaking overnight, saudi arabia's king asking the sitting crown prince, his nephew, and putting his son, mohammed bin salman next in line for the throne the saudi all share is up on the news his son seen as someone who is a reformer, modernizer and the market has liked that change up 4%. let's bring in the head of commodity strategy at capital markets. >> i heard your voice in my head when i was reading the news overnight. i'm glad we're talking to you. mifrnlgts forga >> my favorite country yes. >> what's the takeaway this is a big generational shift in saudi arabia.
5:10 am
i used to talk about 70 being young for a crown prince in saudi arabia to have a 31-year-old crown prince is a decisive break with past practice. to move aside muhammad bin nayef, the counterterroism czar, the figure of the establishment, this is groundbreaking for saudi arabia the question is can mohammed bin salman deliver on his big reform plans? can he generate millions of new private sector jobs for young saudis >> the first question before that, the long-term question, can he survive what will surely be quite a lot of attempts to destabilize i'm or worse in the short-term before the current king dies this will upset a lot of people in the royal family. >> it certainly will upset a lot of people in the royal family but i don't think shoe ever bet against mohammed bin salman. when he was appointed youngest defense minister in 2013, people did not think he had a long
5:11 am
tenure ahead of him. he defied all the skeptics and look what he has done with vision 2030. they may not achieve 50% of it, but he said he would press ahead with the ipo of saudi arabmco. i think he will be leading saudi arabia for the next several decades. >> saudi arabia is trying to engineer a higher price of oil look like it's having trouble doing so, especially lately. what does it mean for global energy markets >> first i would say saudi arabia is committed to piloting this opec cut through. now the question is what is saudi's time horizon the ipo of saudi aramco is a to 2018 event so they can deal with some of these prices sit tight, let the cuts reverse.
5:12 am
i think they'll be ready for 2018 >> do you think we could slip below $40 from here on wti >> depends on where sentiment goes i think sentiment is ahead of fundamentals i think this market is much more constructive on supply and demand we are in a bear sentiment trap. i think there is the potential we could drift lower >> glad we found you in sydney >> a great live shot behind you. >> talking saudi arabia on "worldwide exchange. >> exactly >> thank you >> now to china, a long-awaited decision msci agreed to add mainland chinese stocks to the index. eunice yoon is in shenzhen tell us about the reaction to this big decision. >> in this case it was fourth
5:13 am
time lucky the msci finally decided to include chinese domestically traded shares into the all influential em index in theory this means foreign investors can get access to 222 high cheeinese mainland stocks. these are weighted in consumers, financials that's why we saw a rally in those stocks today the overall reaction was very positive the chinese stock markets rallied to a 1 1/2 year high the stock market regulator said this is a vote of confidence they said global investor confidence is building in the financial stability of the country and economic prospects and there's been a positive reaction we know the stock market regulators have been very, very encouraged by what they're
5:14 am
seeing from beijing's perspective they believe they have taken a lot of steps to make this happen. they established what is known as stop connects one is connecting the shenzhen market, where i am now to hong kong, which is a much more free wheeling market. and the shanghai market to the hong kong markets. that allows them to get more for foreign investors access into the mainland markets so the chinese are excited right now with what they're seeing even though there are a lot of restrictions still on this market they're seeing this as an important symbolic move. >> eunice, hong kong's stock index, much like london's, heavy international ownship. what is the percentage international ownership of the shanghai index people expect it to rise significantly now. >> it's 2% so, it's a really, really low percentage so for that reason there is a
5:15 am
lot of potential for investors to get into the market like i said, one of the main problems is that the chinese authorities, despite the efforts, still have not really built a lot of confidence among global investors that they won't interfere in the markets so because of that there's still a lot of restrictions and people are worried about getting money in and out of the markets. >> thank you very much shanghai up a half percent today. today's agenda we start in the uk where british prime minister theresa may and her minority government faces a big test as they open parliament back in the u.s. the latest read on the housing sector with may home sales out at 10:00 a.m. eastern. on the earnings front, carmax and winnebago before the bell and oracle after the close one other nuance of the queen's
5:16 am
speech, she usually opens it by confirming the state visits she will be making or other leader also be making to the uk >> we're listening for trump >> listening for trump she wouldn't confirm if it had been canceled. if she fails to say he's visiting later in the year, it looks to be cancel sglod still ahead, paul ryan promises tax reformulator this year c can he deliver. and the most expensive house race ever. we are live in atlanta with the top licapotil story. hi i'm joand hey you've gotta see this. c'mon.

5:19 am
find your awesome with the xfinity x1 voice remote. . republican karen handel defeating democrat jon ossoff in a high stakes special election for the georgia house seat john harwood joins us from atlanta with the latest. good morning, john >> good morning, sara. this was a big sigh of relief for the trump white house and the republican party after all the spending, more than $50 million by all sides and all the hype they held on to this house seat. it's been republican for a long time there are still big signs of concern looking ahead to 2018. they had to fight hard to win a direct that the republican who last held it, tom price, now the hhs secretary, won by more than 20 points. in another special election in south carolina, that got much
5:20 am
less attention, the democrat came within four points of beating the republican in the district of mcmulvaney, now the budget director. nevertheless, this is good for the agenda in the immediate sense because what that means is the jolt of fear that would have surged through the republican caucus had the democrat won this race is not there. it comes right as republicans are taking up their healthcare bill in the senate this will improve the odds, doesn't guarantee it, but it improves the odds that republicans will be able to pass their healthcare bill as well as their tax reform bill at some point later this year or next year >> is this a victory specifically for trump or for the mainstream republican party despite president trump? >> the latter, wilfred president trump is -- did not come up on the campaign trail for karen handel she did not talk about him
5:21 am
she mostly went around him the democrat, interestingly, didn't talk about him all that much even though the back drop for all of his enthusiasm, volunteers and money was the trump presidency this is a highly college educated direct, more affluent district, the kind of place trump is not at his strongest within the republican constituency this is more a victory for the republican political apparatus which rose to the challenge of this race. >> i'm not sure the white house is seeing it that way. kellyanne wins with the tweet, laughing my oss off. >> pronounces the word as i would as well. >> the british pronunciation it does show democrat also have a hard time turning opposition to president trump and his agenda into elek toerlt victoras doesn't it >> in some places yes.
5:22 am
but this is a very republican district the fact that republicans had to fight so hard to keep it tells you they have a difficult political environment. in the midterm elections, the party out of power in the white house always has momentum on their back the democrats are going to have more than usual this time because brup donald trump is so unpopular. they need to win unfriendly districts in order to win the house back they are on track for gains, significant gains in the house the question is whether they can get enough gains by winning in hostile territory to flip the house and make it democratic the results last night show they have not proven they can do that yet. that's encouraging for the trump white house. >> clearly donald trump is trying to celebrate this, various tweets on twitter. however had he lost this, would there have been a chance that it would have shaken republican
5:23 am
lawmakers into voting regardless for his healthcare and tax policies in order to protect themselves in next year's midterms >> i've heard all sides from both members of congress and consultants over the last couple of days. but i thinkcalming effect on the republican party and that's what republicans need right now. still to come, toshiba finally selects a buyer for its at s unit. thtory and the rest of the stocks to watch coming up on "worldwide exchange.
