5:13 am
barclays itself. and this is gaining notoriety worldwide because this is the first time that a global bank and its leadership team has faced criminal charges with regards to actions taken during the financial crisis so what is at stake here there is three sets of allegations here and all five defendants, being of course the four former executives and barclays itself, are facing the first charge which is conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation in the june 2008 capital raise. and barclays plus former ceo john varley and robert jenkins facing two additional charges, one in relation to the capital raise and also one in relation to providing unlawful financial assistance in 2008, they raised money in june and october and between the two, qataris contributed around
5:14 am
6.1 billion pounds and they also arranged two side deals in which they provided funding to the qataris and the question at the heart of the matter is did barclays provide the funds simply so qataris could reinvest back into barclays >> a quick followup here when we talk about these deals, are there any -- i've seen a lot of the reports happening are there any real details out or are we waiting for the charges to really be unsealed and put out in public before we know exactly what happened with regard to what the wrongdoing was? well, we just lost gemma but again, those barclays executives in london facing serious fraud charges. we'll have details coming up as the day progresses and another story we're washing asia, hong kong and china launching the highly anticipated bond trading program, the setup gives foreign investors access to china's $9
5:15 am
trillion bond market through hong kong trading houses it's actually the world's third largest bond market and comes after giving china the green light in general, so a good couple weeks for china and the market as a whole as they try to open up that you were manywhere. >> and the top two >> u.s. and japan. >> and anyway, a group of four arab states that have cut ties with qatar are giving the country until tomorrow to dom app comply with list of demands. the group accuses qatar of supporting terrorism qatar says their demandsinclusas that the demands are too severe. and they extended the deadline as part of the efforts to

5:17 am
power nationally, but it does raise concerns for abe ahead of the elections for the lower house of par arealliment that must be held by the end of next year they are looking at it as a bellwether for the influence that prime minister abe's administration has and of course a referendum on the policies overall >> a stunning defeat and it's interesting to see the market response. at first we saw the yen strengthen on this concern that aib's ru abe's ruling party saw the loss, but then the yen came back so definitely something to keep an eye on especially abe has really commanded his position for the last three or so years. >> and a little bit of strength right now for the dollar versus the yen. the china prz xi jinping is pointing to negative factors that have cropped up in the u.s./china relationship since he first met president trump three months ago china state media is reporting the comments from a call xi had
5:18 am
with trump earlier today, beijing has expressed displeasure with a u.s. armed sale to taiwan u.s. sanctions against chinese bank over its dealing with north korea. and the presence of a u.s. destroyer near a disputed island in the south china sea president trump also spoke by phone with the japanese prime minister abe who pledged more cooperation over north korea perhaps a sign that the honeymoon might be coming to an end. >> just so much back and forth positive headlines one day, negative the other >> hard to parse through well, still to come onwe'rer the trading week ahead and the g-20 summit. but first, as we head to break, here is the national weather report from bill karins. >> good morning. as we go through the end of our holiday weekend, we are looking at thunderstorm rolling through arkansas and kansas. slight risk of severe storms
5:19 am
wichita to oklahoma city again large hail, maybe damaging wind we could also see scattered strong storm through the ohio valley, pennsylvania and even areas near philadelphia and northern new jersey. so today's forecast, also going to watch thunderstorms in the southeast and areas of arkansas and through tennessee. as we look toward the fourth of july forecast, isolated strong storms in the middle of the country. pretty warm everywhere no one will be washed out. these are hit and miss storms. maybe north carolina beaches not the best and wednesday when everyone is returning home, still the same locations with the best chance of storms.

5:31 am
good morning i'm dominic chu. >> and i'm seema mody. takes shortened trading week the new york stock exchange will close early today at 1:00 ahead of tomorrow's july 4th holiday as for futures, dow jones industrial up 78, nasdaq up 24 and s&p zup about 9 transports gained 4% in the month ever june, its best month since november of last year. and financials also outperforming for the month of june let's take a look at how the 10 year note has been fairing this global rise in yields that we have been seeing, definitely a story that has captivated wall street and one of the reasons the bank had been outperforming. right now yielding 2.31% >> and in asia, we did see a little bit of strength overall for some of these markets. you can see the nikkei up by
5:32 am
about one tenth of 1%. and shanghai composite and hang seng about the same. kospi about 0.1% across the board. as we turn for a guide, the dax in germany up by about three quarters of 1% and green across the board for the major bourses. >> and let's point your attention to oil because that could perhaps be playing a role behind the move in european equities we were higher across the board at this point, wte crude at $46.13 the international gauge for oil, ice brent crude at $48.79. but the bigger picture is the it's down 9% for the quarter so big moves have sent the energy stock market also down. energy sector i should say down
5:33 am
about 6% year to date. taking a look at the dollar, that is also a big surprising factor the dollar now down about 5.6% against the basket of occurrence i ises for t currencies for the year. euro at 1.13 against the u.s. dollar.ence currencies for the year. euro at 1.13 against the u.s. dollar 1.12 against the dollar. and with a look at gold, it was down about 7 and in global news, china is going to allow foreign investors direct being a access to its massive bond market jeff cutl leler geoff cutmore joining us will this operate similarly? >> absolutely. big advantage here of course is china is already seeing the hong kong stock connect market allow it gain access to the msci
5:34 am
indices and they would be hoping that by doing this with the debt market, they can also get chinese bonds listed on some of those very important debt indices. so very early steps here, but it is a $9 trillion market. it's the third largest in the world after the united states and japan. and it also allows china to diverity verse guy its sources of capital. they have been dependent on bank lending. and they would like to open up the ent inter-bank lending market to chinese investors. so small steps it's not likely that we will see very significant uptick early on because i think a lot of institutional investors need to get their head around just exactly how they measure the risk for some of this chinese paper. but of course it does give them
5:35 am
a tremendous advantage now because they will not need to set up on on shore accounts in china to be able to trade the paper. back to you. >> i was going to ask you, what do you think ghachbd will be like for chinese bonds we know beijing are has been taking steps on the regulatory front to ease controls, relax the capital controls that had been in place for a while. but is it enough to i guess provide a catalyst >> i think there will be demand. clearly there is a stretch for yield going on around the world. the curve is flat. between one and ten year, you can get around 3% to 3 abo.5% y. that looks attractive in comparison, but it will take institutions a little bit of time to figure out exactly how 12450e ra they should rate some of this paper.
5:36 am
you have the corporate, the local government and the central government and local government paper trades very much around the same price as we see central government paper because there is implooied support from central government so i think it is an attractive market i think people will gradually be willing to take that chance in this market, but i think it will be steady steps early on we may only see maybe $100 billion to $200 billion in the first 12 to 18 months, but that is just an early prediction by some of the analysts we will have to wait and watch because right now we know nobody is getting great returns on capital where it is located. so you either take your chance with the equity markets or programs you take a look at some of the chinese debt. >> geoff cutmore, thank you so much sticking with the markets, the cnbc iq 100 is an index that tracks the top 100 big cap companies that generate most of their sales from their own
5:37 am
intellectual properties. so think of firms such as microsoft, jpmorgan and boeing, they are all part of that index. this index gained 1.8% in the second quarter, slightly underperforming. but it is up about 9.1% year to date versus 8% gain for the zch, s&p, so outperforming there. joining us now is david martin, founder of the firm that algorit algorithm powers the index this is a huge interesting talking point about whether or not companies can generate excess shareholder returns because of their own intellectual property. take us through the mechanics of the rebalance. >> this is an amazing rebalance moment for us because as you know, as we have continued to watch this year unfold, what we're looking at is companies that are going through a significant amount of global shifts in terms of how they are positioning in the marketplace and what we're seeing overall is
5:38 am
that the companies that are most diversifi diversified, companies that have broad range of technologies that address a number of markets are the ones that seem to be really performing strongly and the ones that have a more narrow definition, very specific products, are going through their challenges because single market companies have a bit more challenge. but in the reset, whatwe're seeing is the companies that actually are really doing a very strong job be not only have an enormous amount eveof innovatio, but also as is the case with one of the top performers dxc, we see enormous amount of strategic acquisitions >> oracle jumping to the top of the 100 of this index. what is behind that move >> i think as we discussed earlier in the year, one of the big shifts that is taking place is a move from the hardware centric approach to data and
5:39 am
computing to now much more of an implied services based model and oracle has done a great job ever positioning itself with both the hardware side of the equation, but really is getting into that applied environment where they are helping makes a we said about microsoft and others earlier in the year, they are making the cloud and they are making cyber a real reality for their client base. so they are addressing specific client needs and this is a place where oracle anticipated a market going and they have the ip to support their market position and defend it and grow it so we're enthusiastic to see what is happening across the implied services computational services environment and we see that market continuing to on grow and expand. >> david, just a few moments here left.on gro and expand >> david, just a few moments here left.n grow and expand >> david, just a few moments here left. grow and expand >> david, just a few moments here left. you can tell us the trends about the close e companies slipping
5:40 am
rankings >> we have a couple companies starting to have the market wash out the advantage of their innovation some of the financial services sectors are starting to have the market actually catch up and potentially overwhelm the advantage that the innovation was giving them early on remember that if you are on the index, you're actually chafing so achieving great performance, but that advantage needs to be mained.ing achieving great performance, but that advantage needs to be mained but there are outliers mastercard is doing a great job and it is rising on the index. >> david peculiar continmartin, joining us on the rebalancing. turning to wall street'se a agenda for the week, plenty of economic data. today look for ism manufacturing index, construction spending and monthly auto sales markets will close at 1:00 on on wednesday, we get factory
