5:02 am
such a big portion of the market and a big important leadership group for the market ten-year treasury note yield, a lot of people are blaming the jump in yields for the sudden selloff in stocks. it's something we've seen globally 2.27, not a super high yield, but it is compared to where we started the week at 2.13 that caught investors around the world a bit off guard. got them nervous again about central banks pulling away >> the speed of the move it's destabilizing an upstick in volatitick in voly asian equities, two pieces of news on china. manufacturing activity picked up in june. pmi coming in better than expected the markets did follow the u.s. markets in europe. japan done 1%. that was also on the stronger yen. hang seng down 0.75% you had the asian markets

barrel wti at 45.39 brent up a percent as for the u.s. dollar whacked this quarter, this month, this week and it's a story of euro strength 1.14 more than a one-year high there. euro having a strong quarter the dollar is weaker against the yen this morning watching for signs of risk aversion and the pound is weaker today. sitting below the key 1.30 level. let's see if gold prices are responding gold is off maybe taking its cue from that, about a tenth of percent. let's talk about yesterday's selloff. all of a sudden you get a vix spike, larry mcdonald is here, author of "bear traps report." you have been expecting this for a long time, it hasn't come, but now here we are. what is the primary driver >> it's a rotation from everybody long growth and now we're seeing a move back to
5:05 am
value. you had central bankers around the world that have grown more -- pulling back in combination at least verbally. they have to the yet done so >> are they really >> the comments to me, when you're looking at mario draghi, he's at 60 billion a month, he says we're looking at more reflationary environment in the months ahead yellen, you have to remember, if you're janet yellen, you're sitting there and thinking, okay february, my term is up. i might want to protect my legacy she doesn't mow for suknow for e will be reappointed. rye not try to cement your legacy, pop some asset bubbles and talk more hawkish. >> we also heard from carney we heard from central bankers all week saying get ready, at least their intention is to try to snug things up in terms of policy will they have the opening to do that will the data cooperate?
5:06 am
>> what we've seen is the serpent in the market stops them eventually ever since really lehman, the governments have become too lauk i hawkish, the markets stopped them if you look at the nasdaq 100 compared to oil names, we've been recommending get long in the reflation trade, oil and steel names, short the nasdaq 100. you are talking about a 40 percent outperformance of the nasdaq 100 versus oil and steel and some beaten down sectors >> is that still your call >> yes we think it will last most of the summer >> what about the banks? where they do fit into that equation with yields rising they have been doing well. >> it's fascinating, if you look at twos tens, the steepness of the treasury curve, typically we've had a very, very flattening process here in the last couple months
5:07 am
banks have typically not done well they're doing well in that environment because of what steve mnuchin is saying, our team in washington, what we're hearing behind the scenes is treasury can do about 60% of what they want to do with executive orders if they do that with the banks they can free up a trillionto trillion of capital. a lot of these banks are holding capital like treasury bonds, municipal bonds. >> so you like banks >> yeah. the steepening yield curve, the bank also do well. >> thank you for checking in >> thanks. >> on a crazy market a down week for stocks >> down week and it looks like potentially a down month at this point. >> first in a long time. >> would be the first in eight months >> there you go. this could be a big market mover. nike reporting better than

expected earnings, 60% per share. revenue rose 5% from a year a good to more than 8$8.5 billion they were helped by an increase in demand in key markets around the world, particularly china. the company confirmed its new partnership with amazon after lots of rumors here's what nike's ceo mark parker said about the deal on the earnings call last night >> in the u.s. we're executing a new pilot with amazon with a limited nike product assortment. as we do with all of our partners, we're looking for ways to improve the nike consumer experience on amazon by elevating the way the brand is presented and increasing the quality of product story telling. we're in the early stages. but we really look forward to evaluating the results of the pilot. >> joining us on the scnbc news line is sam pozer from
5:09 am
susquehanna research i don't know how you can modal this out they didn't give clues as to timing, selection, what scope they were looking at still investors seem excited about it what do you think? >> good morning. i think you have to be careful what you wish for to some degree here i think they're in a test mode they want to build the brand out. there's over 80,000 items listed on amazon now between nike and converse, none of which nike sold to amazon i think amazon has to agree to get rid of unauthorized third party selling in order to allow nike to take control of the brand. if they don't, i think this test will be -- i don't think nike will be willing to go forward with it because a lot of the cool factor of what is exclusive
5:10 am
to nike is because you can only buy a jordan shoe waiting in line or specifically i see this as a more moderate play to cover people who just -- that's where they shop i do not see the premium product going there at all i think it's potentially very, very good. but again, amazon rarely helps people build brands. they like to sell a lot of stuff. nike has to balance what they're doing carefully. >> sam, the market is showing some relief after the report what is your overall read on the quarter and guidance was the street bracing for something worse or was there something encouraging in there >> i think if you look at the international business, it was phenomenal domestic dizziness, it showed the futures numbers which continued, which were slightly better than last quarter but not
5:11 am
anything to write home about, are becoming less correlation between what's really happening and those futures numbers, which nike has said. so we think a lot of the street is looking backwards i think awhether tl a lot of prn currency and the underlying business remains exceptional strong >> the stock is up 6% in the premarket. what's your target again does that change today >> it's $61 as of when we printed. when they printed last night our note is coming out shortly we do like this a lot. we said to everybody look forward, not back. we think a lot of the chatter around nike was backwards looking. we recommend people look forward. you know the company exceptionally well
5:12 am
we think they missed some things a couple years ago that hung over them for a while. we think there's a big inflection about to happen >> i thought they did talk about the new innovations like the nba apparel. we'll leave it there thank you for calling in on nike big move higher in the premarket. shares of micron also popping in the premarket after the chipmaker topped wall street forecasts. landon dowdy joins us with more. good morning good morning micron reported better than expected results for an eighth straight time. the firm posting earnings of $1.62 a share, 11 cents higher than the street forecast the cost reduction plans and industry dynamics helping to drive the earnings beat. favorable pricing continues to help micron saw higher than average selling prices for memory chips. micron's ceo said the global trends taking shape today including machine learning and big data analytics are exciting and create significant

5:38 am
but we really look forward to evaluating the results of the pilot. >> mark parker not giving a whole lot of detail on what this amazon rollout will look like but saying it will be limited and small. so painting it as more of an experiment i thought it was interesting what sam poser told us at the top of the hour, what they need to get out of this deal is that amazon should stop letting third parties sell nike in order to drive traffic to the nike store on amazon, then he said it could be potentially profitable and drive a lot of growth for nike but we're not there yet. >> nike wants to maintain tight control it has over what products appear where and when >> i think beyond that, on the current quarter, specifically the guidance for fiscal year 2018, this was the last quarter for their fiscal year 201, it was better than expected sort of, you know, this was battleground stock a lot of the bears felt the growth was lacking, they were

5:53 am
