5:02 am
seem to be replacing deflationary pressures most of the speech was dovish, indeed he did say loose policy was still required tomake sure inflation dynamics became durable. any changes to policy would be gradual. the broad term was dovish. the market focusing on those core comments about the economy and saying the economy is broadening european markets on the back of this are suffering stronger euro is not good for markets. but they were very strong yesterday. we got about a percent of gains on news of that italian bank bailout. people encouraged about the fact that not just that those two banks which only represent 2% of i tatalian bank assets, today taking profits and responding. european bonds for you as well, the yield there on the london

5:05 am
secretary said he would support the u.s. in any potential attacks on the assad regime. >> "usa today," rift in healthcare over gop. the cbo scored the healthcare bill there's a lot to dig through here ylan mui joins us now. explain why this is a blow to gop senators >> there is not a big difference in the cbo score between the senate version of the healthcare bill and the house version of the healthcare bill. that put the senate bill in rocky territory. susan collins of maine tweeting she won't even vote in favor of
5:06 am
just starting debate on the bill she criticized the cuts to medicaid and the lack of access to insurance in rural communities. lindsey graham has told reporters he is worried republicans will wind up regretting the rush to vote this week the cbo's analysis found the senate bill did do -- improve that house score by 1 million, 22 million more people would be insured in ten years, but the big question is whether that's enough to get this bill passed nbc confirmed that the vice president will try to woo conservative skeptics of this bill at a dinner tonight mike lee of utah, one of the early opposers of the bill will be among them. in a statement the white house did not explicitly support the senate draft instead it slammed the cbo saying its analysis "must not be trusted blindly. we know this institution is widely considered to be
5:07 am
objective and nonpart san. ba nonpartisan. >> there is also the far right wing of the party, the ted cruzes of this world who don't look like they'll change their mind >> that's the tension here that's why this bill is so difficult to get through the senate you have the conservatives who feel it doesn't do enough to actually repeal obamacare. meanwhile you have moderates, like susan collins, but also the senator from colorado as well, who feel like it doesn't do enough to help low income and middle income redents who need the services of the affordable care act you don't want to go without insurance. they want to ensure a more gradual phaseout of medication does this do enough to repeal obamacare or does it do too much >> as i understand it, the
5:08 am
amount of savings for the budget deficit is much bigger under the senate bill, which may allow some breathing room, right, for some senators that want more funding for the opioid crisis. do you expect that to move >> 321 billion is the amount of deficit reduction achieved according to the cbo under the senate bill. that does mean that they have some wiggle womb in order to add funding for some of these projects that are so important to individual senators however, you know, again, that's going to run against the conservatives who say 321 billion in savings to the deficit, that's great. why should the government continue to be intruding into the healthcare market which is the whole crux of the argument against obama care in the first place. so, while that is a anybody that conservatives should cheer and republican leadership should be happy with, continuing to add more money into what they feel
5:09 am
are failing exchanges could be problematic. >> just quickly. are we still expecting a vote this week? >> that is a very big question so far the signs we've seen from republican leadership are, y they intend to move forward with the vote the yes is can they get enough support to do so before they vote on the bill they have to vote on a procedural measure called a motion to proceed. it's unclear whether or not they have the support to pass that first motion so, if they can't get that done by tuesday or wednesday, there won't be a vote on the actual bill itself later this week. >> ylan mui thank you very much for that. president trump hosting indian president modi last night at the white house the president telling him it was an honor to have him in washington during talks yesterday afternoon. trump urged modi to do more to relax trade barriers for u.s. exports. both experts took great pains to

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." a quick look at the futures. the dow slightly higher. the s&p and nasdaq a bit lower yesterday the dow and s&p showed slight gained. marc benioff talking a little f.a.n.g. stocks and uber and some new exclusive comments to cnbc. jeff s jeff sut moogeoff cutmore joins china with more. >> here we are at the world economic forum event which focuses on the fourth industrial revolution, which may explain why marc benioff is in town talking about ai and robots. i asked him about his m&a strategy one point he made is that he feels deals are getting expensive in the tech space. i said what about tech valuations on the publicly listed markets what did he think of the f.a.n.g. stocks?
5:19 am
>> some of those f.a.n.g.s are still undervalued. i would agree with jim cramer. some of those companies, you look at aws, amazon web services, we work closely with amazon they're a large customer of ours you look at that aws business going past $20 billions this year, i think it's on a trajectory to go to 1$100 billion. you look at that as a multiple where amazon is today, amazon is a tremendous upside for the future and jeff is doing an unbelievable job >> interesting, i think, that when many in the markets are looking at the nasdaq and tech valuations, and feeling that we're already in nosebleed territory, marc benioff thinks there's plenty more room for them to run. i also asked him about the culture at uber and about the departure of travis kalanick and whether this is a one-off story as far as start-up culture is concerned or whether he felt
5:20 am
there may be more problems to come in this space let's hear what he had to say. >> because equality is more dominant in our industry than ever before. you saw when his employees started to write a very strong narrative about how that was not valued inside that leadership team, it became a situation that the board and share holders will to act on. it became a crisis of equality that will not be the last crisis of equality in the tech industry it will be one of several for people to take their own behaviors and capabilities to another level. >> the message from benioff as you heard there, that he feels that this will be a culture that is around for some time. he was making the point that he thinks it will be decades before we ultimately clear out, not only in the tech space but other
5:21 am
parts of the economy this inequality of payment between the sexes and also the poor treatment of women more generally in the workplace guys, back to you. >> i know he's been out front leading on that issue, women and equality in the workplace. curious the discussion among leaders talking about technological changes, ai. how much is donald trump a talking point and some of the new fiscal policies we would be looking at in the u.s. or the idea that technology will move no matter what and we should break for what's coming. >> i think the latter point is the one that's more dominant in the conversations. part of the reason that china wants to host events like these is they want to encourage technology companies to come to china, but also want to be a leader on managing the social consequences of new technologies
5:22 am
like ai and robotics everybody here is talking about what this technology means for the involvement of labor will we see higher unemployment rates. how do you deal with the social consequences of that that's a focus of what's going on here. it makes a refreshing change for the conversation not to be about donald trump and not to be about the crisis in the european banking system though you get the sense that those are two topics that are never far away from peoples lips right now we're focused on technology and what damage or otherwise it might bring to social cohesion and generally the sense of inclusiveness that we have in a number of economies around the world >> geoff cutmore for us, thank you very much. still to come, the top trending stories including the answer to the question we've all been waiting for, will alec asldwin return to "snl" president trump? we'll tell you his decision when

5:33 am
here not that worried about inflation. which is low in the eurozone, and one of the reasons why the ecb is reinstating and saying they need the ultra loose monetary policy stance in order to support inflation but take a listen to what mario draghi, the president of the european central bank said about where we stand, when it comes to economic growth and inflation. >> all the signs now point to a strengthening and broadening recovery in the euro area. deflationary forces have been replaced by reflationary ones. while there are still factors that are weighing on the path of inflation, at present they are mainly temperature prayer factors that typically the central bank can look through. however a considerable degree of monetary accommodation is still needed for dynamics to become durable and self-sustaining.
5:34 am
>> so having said that, of course the ecb's reiterating that they still need considerable amount of accommodative policy for the full inflation to come back to its target but they're also optimistic about the political side of things for years they have been urging politicians to have reforms. the tailwinds in europe having something to do with the macron win in france and also that sense of more cooperation between france and germany when it comes to more reform processes in the eurozone. it's a very rosy picture he is painting here in sintra. to give you an idea of how beautiful it is here i'm stepping out of the picture to give you that view of sintra, a monastery here in the

5:38 am
that is fair and reciprocal. it's important that barriers be removed to the export of u.s. goods into your markets. >> the president's remarks come as the u.s. trade deficit with india nears $31 billion. i did think the conversation, even though he went after that trade deficit and barriers was friendly he couched it in that we have a strong close relationship it was different than some of the harsher rhetoric he has taken on with germany, mexico, japan. they have bigger trade deficits but also don't get that friendly happy talk or hugs >> the hug was -- >> notable >> making theresa may's hand holding looking like a small factor. warren buffett weighing in on the president's time in office last night on pbs news hour when asked whether the president has something to do with the run up in the stoke.
5:39 am
here's what buffett said >> the stock market has been going up basically since march of 2009. that's when it hit the bottom. it's been going up more or less since then if i ever become president, i don't want to be take iing blam for what goes wrong. sprint is in talks with charter communications and comcast over a potential wireless services deal the "wall street journal" says under one option comcast and charter would invest in sprint's network in exchange for favorable terms to cell service using the carrier's network. back in may there was a wireless truce that barred either company from doing a deal without the other's consent. sprint shares in the premarket are lower. charter communications higher. it complicates the t-mobile/sprint speculation. it's unclear that -- the
