gene munster, a really interesting note saying the release of the model three is like apple's iphone moment. >> starbucks quietly down 10% in the last 30 days what happened? >> rising rates, flattening yield curve or rising rates, but there's still a flat yield curve. usually signals recession but nobody is talking about that. >> thanks for watching "power lunch. "closing bell" starts now. hi, everybody. welcome to the "closing bell" today. i'm kelly evans at the new york stock exchange. >> i'm bill griffeth a lot of red across the board and nasdaq is giving back yesterday's gains, and tesla now has seen a 20% pullback from its most recent highs. talk about what's behind that decline specifically, among other things coming up here in just a few minutes. >> tesla down another 6% today big moves. >> yeah. >> meantime, protesters clashing with police in germany outside the g-20 sum my. we'll be live on the ground with

the very latest. >> a lot of action there as anticipated. and a health care proposal from republican senator ted cruz is gaining apparently some traction on capitol hill we'll have details on his amendment, proposed amendment and reaction from the ceo of mt. sinai hospital >> let's get to our jon fortt, shall we, beginning with some big job cuts over at microsoft jon is in san francisco. jon? >> reporter: yeah, kelly, microsoft set to cut thousands of jobs as it focuses its efforts on the cloud, reorganizes its sales operation around that. it's going to be less than 10% of its overall sales force of just under 50,000 people, but can't get a lot more specific than that. also, some corporate functions connected to sales now, most of these jobs are going to be overseas more than 75% of them. this reorganization, think of it in terms of a different way to approach selling cloud to the

enterprise, to finance, to health care. lots of different specific industries microsoft trying to have subject matter experts who really know these industries go in and have a simpler sales process more tailored to that industry's specific needs that an effort to keep the cloud sales going momentum-wise and amazon has been out in front as far as the cloud trend goes. microsoft is known as the number two. they, of course, want to close that gap guys >> shares lower today about three-quarters of 1% jon, thank you right now for now our jon fortt. >> we'd chat with jon but breaking news out of germany eamon javers is pretty much there on site and can give us a better view of what's going on eamon? >> reporter: yeah, bill, you can probably hear the helicopters overhead and the sirens behind me here. things have gotten a little bit tense here in hamburg. the protests have taken a little bit of an ugly tone. i want to turn over here

see if you can show the folks what's going on right here we've got some protesters down the hill and behind where i'm located here, and you can see here that some of the medics are treating some of the injured protesters at least one person here appears to have been overcome by some kind of gas or at least -- possibly a head wound. we saw hundreds of police amassed in formation behind us protesters marching on the spree along the river front behind me. then all at once the police in a group of about 500 or so, the police put up a big cheer and charged forward and pushed those protests out of the way, pushed them down the block here behind us we saw at least one or two people behind me throwing bottles and things it's been relatively calm in this area though right where we are right here we do see a large group of police officers here staging just up the hill from where the more intense parts of the protest are which are just down from where we are. so things getting a little bit ugly h.not yet dark here in

hamburg so people haven't really gotten into the full swing of things we imagine that we'll get a little bit worse here once it gets dark. back over to you. >> amazingly light for 9:00 p.m. you've seen this, bill, over and over again. >> they are just getting started at this point, and it's still -- we'll be checking back with eamon to get an update on all of this coming up in a little while, but it is often unclear exactly what -- what they are protesting at any given moment. >> eamon, do you have any sense of when this is supposed to swell? was tonight the big night or with all the media attention that it could perhaps grow yet >> reporter: no. they have protests scheduled for today, tomorrow and saturday so folks here tell me they are bracing for several days of this police are moving into position behind us going this way and starting to clear the intersection which is to my left just here. we do expect that the police will have been planning for this for a while. they knew this was coming.

there was talk of 100,000 protesters here in hamburg today and through the next couple of days, so this is something that the police have been preparing for for a while, but as you can see, we've got some of the protesters have their own sort of medical teams with them who are tending to some of the people who have been wounded here already, and like we say it's not even dark yet, so this could be an ugly scene once it gets dark. a lot of people walking around here drinking beer, smoking marijuana and as all of that ramps up it could get a lot worse before it gets better, kelly. >> we were discussing this earlier on "power lunch. the wisdom of holding a g-20 meeting in that part ofgermany i mean, in hamburg that apparently is a -- an area that the protesters, you know, are -- a lot of them are there anyway, and it was like you were having it in their own backyard to hold the g-20 meeting there any discussion about that in germany right now?

>> reporter: yeah, absolutely. well, we've been talking to many so of the locals here in hamburg and they say this area just behind me and down by the river is the traditional headquarters of the anarchist movement in the area and a lot of locals tell us this is probably a mistake to put this g-20 event as close to that group as it is now today. on the other hand, the police have known this was coming for a while and have been preparing. yesterday things were very peaceful here in hamburg a large protest, a couple of guys right here saying hello we're making friends here and having a little international discourse, so that was the vibe last night, too. very friendly and very peaceful. a lot of dance music, technodeejatechno

deejays. >> the whole message was anti-globalists and now that president trump embraces some of that, what is the actual message of the protesters? is it pro globalists now >> reporter: let me talk, now, okay let me talk, bud. >> all right we're going to let eamon deal with this. the general message here is anti-capitalist. there's been a lot of anti-capitalist sentiment among the crowd here, and ultimately there's a lot of anti-trump sentiment here as well i mean, a lot of the message here is about donald trump personally, and a lot is about capitalism and globalization a big theme as well so a lot of anger towards all of those fronts here, but not necessarily a unified message here, but definitely a unified protest vibe here. >> unified resistance. >> i know we want to let you go. i can only imagine what you're dealing with behind the scenes

there, but just set the stage for us here. i mean, having covered these things myself and you've covered many more than i have, how far away will the summit -- the actual summit be the world leaders, will they be able to see any of this as it's happening? all right. we lost him. i assume that was a planned loss, that he's okay, but, you know, that's a crazy situation there, especially when they get a view of the tv cameras and they make hay while they can. >> that's the oxygen. >> exactly we'll check back with eamon a little while now. >> shall we check in on tesla shares in the meantime by the way, they are tumbling again today. down more than 5%. more questions about the safety of the model s let's get to phil lebeau with more details. >> reporter: shares moving lower, about 6% lower today. they have now officially entered into what we call bear market territory meaning they have fallen at least 20% from the highs. just eight sessions ago they hit the highs.

i think it was $386 a share. some of this has been at boughted to a note from goldman sachs yesterday suggesting that perhaps we're seeing a plateau in the sales of the model s and the model x, and then overnight there was the release of crash test results from the insurance institute for highway safety these results and this test specifically look at thi collision right here measures how these vehicles handle what's called the small overlap collision where the front corner hits another object at 40 miles per hour the iahs says that the mold s is not a top safety pick because of how the crash test dummy reacted, nor does it give them the top rating of good for that particular test. calls it simply acceptable in response to this tesla says the most objective and accurate independent testing of vehicle safety is currently done by the u.s. government which found model s and model x to be the two cars with the lowest probability of injury of any cars that it has ever tested, making them the safest cars in history.

while some have debated that following these crash results from the iihs, one thing is clear. shares of tesla versus general motors the reason we're showing you this is it got a fair amount of attention when tesla's market cap surfaced general motors at about $52 billion. it's now fallen back below general motors at just under $52 billion. but, again, guys, these shares are in bear market territory >> i was going to ask you how they have done in past crash tests, but how do we -- you just told us there with that. >> two separate tests. >> how can it lead to two different tests here >> reporter: two different tests in terms what have they do the federal government does a -- this is not the federal government one that is the iihs the federal government does a full straight-on the front of the vehicle. they do not do the small overlap, and the insurance institute says, look, in our opinion, if you want to call yourself the safest vehicle in the world, that would be getting a five-star rating which tesla

model s does get from the federal government and getting the highest possible rating, you know, that it could, good rating, from the insurance institute. that's the response from the insurance institute. the response from tesla is nhtsa gives us a five-star rating. the model s is the only suv to ever get a five-star rate and we think they are the safest vehicles that are out there. >> all right thanks, phil see you later. >> reporter: you bet. >> now to the markets and what a day it's been again. minus signs pretty much across the board for the major averages today. joining us as we head to the close here, peter costa, mark lusceny and rick santelli at the cme in chicago peter, clearly, you've been waiting for a pullback this is a minor one here we've seen the markets struggle with volatility this week so far. >> first, let me say something, bill if you saw the video from hamburg, that was actually the costa family july 4th picnic.

>> all right. >> and that was my family coming after me because i was short the market, but, no, you know what i think a lot of things that happened this morning. you had the eu saying that the kweezing is going to lighten up and, you know, some geopolitical issues, i think north korea is something that we have to keep an eye on, so i think, you know, traders are getting a little skittish right now and with the market being at all-time highs you're going to see these pullbacks, and pullbacks won't be five points and ten points. they will be 100 points, 120 points. >> we have the private sector jobs report this morning that came in a little disappointing, so we get the big jobs report tomorrow and there's some talk about how strong the economy really is what do you think? >> kelly, i think what we're going to see is a jobs report that continues to show that job gains are being had. obviously you've seen a downshift on the number of jobs being creed on a monthly basis because the market is tightening a number of job openings are unfulfilled and continue to grow

and job hires can't keep up with the number of jobs created we believe that the labor market remains force which is the key to a self-enforcing economic unit and ism reports in manufacturing and services this morning that both beat expectations i think the reflation trade is ultimately going to reassert itself here in the second half, and we're going to see advances of equities going forward. >> speaking of which, rick, here we go again. let us talk about interest rates. as they continue to rise the ten-year bund, last i saw was 56.9 and the ten-year now here in the united states at 238 i think, and you're on record now seeing it back above 241 at some point. >> yeah. i think 241, 142, the last significant top after we made the bottom in a market which was 217 which lasted until very recently as the low yield close of the year. all of that have happening, of course, after the high yield close of the year at 263

there's a lot of technical aspects but in english, you know, i really don't think that you're going to see huge amounts of fear-type trading and rates running in and not in an orderly fashion, but i do think the trajectory, and we've talked about this before will be to the upside, and it's going to be kind of the three-two notion, three steps up and eventually a couple steps back. i would think in the low 2 been the 40, remember, 2.44 is unchanged and the whole zone, a pause area and we'll monitor the behavior the days of talking at a test under 2% is pretty much in the rear view mirror listen, on growth on the economy, on jobs, it's hard for me to get too excited that we're hitting this brand new soft patch. it is softer than it had been, but over the last 12 or 14 quarters we've seen negative gdps we've seen five handles on gdps and that was all prior to 2013 i don't know that anything has really changed except for the fed is doing something

different, and the timing couldn't be worse. they are tightening into what looks like a slowing, but i think we'll see a little speeding, but i don't think we can get above the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit. >> rick, on the very point it's interesting because how do you fit the u.s. dollar in all of of this the dollar index half a point below 96 and all of this as the fed is tightening. what do you make of it >> see, to me i think it makes sense because we have to get away from thinking that our fed is raising rates higher rates is going to be better for the dollar and part of that have is true but the part that kind of dismisses the dollar is that we're not looking at a raw dollar rate, but most are making a comparison about the dollar index which is heavily euro centric or we're making a case for the euro versus the dollar, so there's a definite amount you could learn from that relative relationship, and i think what i see is that the euro is king now because they are going through their, yeah, you know, we have a great

benefactor they are still doing quantitative easing, we're starting to see traction so that's kind of the flavor of the quarter, maybe the flavor of the year, but i do think there will be a point in time where people will scratch their head and say they still have major negative interest rates mario draghi probably is going to delay, delay, delay on actual qe which probably -- qt where they stop it by the end of the year most don't think that's actually going to happen and that's when the dollar's day in the sun will happen. >> all right, but, mark, do you think the rise in rates, if it continues, can be -- does this become a headwind for the equity markets? >> oh, i don't think so. i mean, if we were talking about a yield approaching 4%, then that would be troublesome, but it really matters not so much on the elevation of the yield but why it's occurring if it's occurring because there's inflation without growth, then that would be troublesome for market and that i have sympathy for, and if it's a consequence and better economic growth that's promoting faster activity it a could breed

inflation while still at the same time negotiate nighting a rate of inflation again in excess of 4% to warrant much higher bond yields, then i think the market likes it because that's fertile ground for corporate profit growth. >> i assume you disagree, peter, very quickly. >> of course i do, but, you know, we'll look at it this way. we're out of the second quarter earnings season. we'll see how that plays out tomorrow's jobs report will be important because, you know what, the fed should really take a look at it and say, you know what, maybe we're not growing at fast as we would like right now and the one thing we haven't really seen a lot of and we don't talk a lot about it is wage inflation you still haven't seen it, and i think there should be wage inflation for anything to -- for the economy to expand significantly. >> all right got to go guys. >> bill, real quick, real quick, bill. >> thank you. >> bill, real quick. >> yeah. >> there's a third channel, okay it's not that it's not the right amount of growth it's not that the there's inflation. the other channel is because central banks are slowly losing

control in europe, and that is pushing our rates higher nobody ever looks at that channel, and i think we really need to study that one more. >> fair point. >> a central bank behind the curve. imagine that thank, guys. >> see you later. all right. boy, are we behind schedule here let's move along we've got about 43 minutes left in the trading session and we're near lows for the session. right now the dow is down about 131 points. >> senator ted cruz wants health insurers to be able to offer cheaper, less comprehensive health plans in addition to obamacare ones up next, the ceo of mt. sinai health system tells us whether he thinks that will raise or lower premiums. and the trump administration is setting its sights on space we have the names of companies that could be big winners in a new space race coming up. and we want to hear from you. contact the show via twitter, contact the show via twitter, facebook or send us an eai-ml.

welcome back republican senator ted cruz's health care proposal is gaining some traction among conservatives and could save the senate health care bill. our kayla tausche has more kayla? >> reporter: kelly, cruz along with utah senator mike lee are among the lawmakers with the primary goal of lowering customers' premiums and to that end they have offered the consumer freedom component which relies one obamacare plan on a state exchange would be allow to sell any other plans complaint plans would cover

pre-existing systems and the so-called freedom plans would be offered for healthy young people this structure causes out-of-pocket costs for the former group to spike but conservative groups have supported it if senate republicans insist on tweaking obamacare instead of repealing it the language will provide consumers with more choice and truly more affordable health insurance company the club for growth supports the amendment but toys total repeal is a backup. that idea has been floated by the president and several other senators kentucky senator rand paul is still grappling wi-- kentucky s mcconnell is still grappling how to get to 50 members. >> trying to get 50 members of you're caucus that can agree to a version of repealing and replacing. >> a version it's unclear exactly what that

will look like the cruz/lee amendment is currently getting scored by the congressional budget office. we'll see what the senate bill, kelly, can come up with when they are back in session next week. >> all right kayla, thank you very much let's bring in kenneth davis he's the president and ceo of mt. sinai health system joining us today from new york dr. davis, good to see you again. welcome back. >> good to see you guys. >> i know you're not a fan of the gop plan as it exists right now, but what about the -- the cruz amendment that offers a choice, where the insurance companies would have to or something that's complaint with the obamacare systemle what do you think of that? >> right, what you're going to end up with is two pools you'll wind up a pool of inexpensive insurance that's rather schism, and you're going to wind up with a pool of people who have a lot of pre-existing conditions, health care problems and very expensive insurance the problem here is that we're

taking the healthy people out of the risk pool and as a consequence we're leaving behind in that comprehensive policy those people with pre-existing conditions, chronic disease or people who think they are at risk for illness those policies are going to be terribly expensive because you don't have the healthy people in that pool to bring down premiums >> those policies are already terribly expensive what do you propose be done about the affordability of obamacare care plans if nothing comes of this whole republican effort >> right what we've got to do is address the issue of why is health care expense sniff what are we going to do to bend the cost curve as we talk about it what are we going to do to make it more efficient? and that means we have to change the way we deliver care. we're in a system now that's called fee-for-service which means providers of care are paid as soon as they do something what we need to move towards, and we've been moving towards it in some places, is a system in

which hospitals, providers, physician groups, are paid to manage a group of patients ahead of time, and if they manage those patients efficiently they are going to have some margin. if they manage them inefficiently it's their loss. we've got to change the way health care is delivered these bills are not -- not addressing those questions. >> boy, i can hear all my conservative friends saying that's like socialized medicine. it takes the profit motor it out of a business that needs a profit motive to get innovation going to find cures and things i mean -- >> no, not really. what it does is it takes the profit in efficiency it rewards providers for providing really effective care, coordinated care the most cost-efficient care and then hospitals and provide remembers going to have a margin right now it's just open-ended. >> that sounds great in the meantime, with everybodyration premiums a bunch an states as we head into next

year and the uncertainty that we still have about what is going to come out of this, is it better at least for there to be an option to get people covered, even if they are able to choose a light plan instead of the full-service plan? >> right. >> at least they are under a plan >> okay, but let's understand why these rates are going up so high what we have are very poor risk pools. we don't have risk pools with enough healthy young people in those risk pools this, if anything, is going to make that worse. premiums will go higher. >> but your assumption this makes it worse because these people are separated into the light plan and the heavy plan. >> that's right. >> and if that's not the case, if they are able to simply say, okay, we're going to be able to bring people into the system and combine it on the back end, doesn't that still help to potentially bring down the costs for everybody? >> i don't see it. i think what's going to happen is you're going to get young healthy people buying very skimpy policies who should pray that they don't get sick. >> but the insurers still gets their money, so the whole point

of this the insurers are able to offer light plans if they also offer obamacare plans. united health gets the funds from a young person on a skimpy plan. >> more than they get otherwise. >> but they will be in accept rat risk pools, so in order to keep those premiums really low, those people who are getting the low skimpy plans, they are going to be in a different risk pool than the people whole have a high comprehensive plan, and i'm very worried about plans that don't provide preventive care, that don't provide pharmaceutical benefits, that don't provide mental health care, that don't provide services for addiction i mean, people like to deny that they have illnesses and then all of a sudden they are confronted with it. >> dr. davis, gallup poll found the number one concern of americans is the cost of their health coverage for the first time this is a new and pressing problem. >> right, but what we shouldn't do is confuse people and say because the policy is less expensive it's good. what they are going to find out is those policies have got all

kinds of deductibles, high co-pays, and when they are really sick it's inadequate. >> the they are pretty inadequate right now, by the way, even the ones who cover essential benefits have very high deductions and are still incredibly expensive on a monthly basis. >> don't forget, those are subsidized with critics and it makes it much more affordable for those people who those exchanges were designed for. >> before we let you go, and we're horribly over time again look, the scenario you laid out of what you would like to see happen, that's not likely to come out of this congress. >> that's right. >> so let's talk -- let's talk reality. what do you think is likely to come out of congress, and how are you going to respond to it what can you as a business leader do then >> well, i think what's -- what could come out of this is two trains that is are very destructive potentially to large

health care centers in urban areas. one is that we're going to be losing an awful lot of medicaid, and that's going to provide the hospital systems with lots more patients with uncompensated care the second is we're going to find that there will be a lot of people with pre-existing conditions who can't afford their policies at all, and they are going to come into the hospital with major medical problems and also be uncompensated and once again the hospitals by law will have to take care of them, and it's going to be very difficult to see how a lot of hospitals that already have very small margins are going to survive in that environment. we are fundamentally not dealing with the basic problems in health care which these bills. >> all right. >> thank you, dr. davis. >> we could do an hour, that's for sure. >> thank you, sir. good to see you again. by the way, general electric is the worst performer in the dow today after a very bearish call by a major wall street bank we'll have that story coming up.

>> and then we'll head back to hamburg germany for the late on the clashes between police and protesters ahead of the g-20 meeting. stay witush hey gary, what are you doing? oh hey john, i'm connecting our brains so we can share our amazing trading knowledge. that's a great idea, but why don't you just go to thinkorswim's chat rooms where you can share strategies, ideas, even actual trades with market professionals and thousands of other traders? i know. your brain told my brain before you told my face. mmm, blueberry? tap into the knowledge of other traders on thinkorswim. only at td ameritrade.

lock at some market movers this thursday. general electric, the worst performer in the dow today after jpmorgan slashed its price target on the stock to 22 from $27 a share. trading at 26 and change right now, and they reiterated an

underperform rating citing growth potential concerns. ge shares falling 16% so far this year, making it the second worth of dow perform they are year behind verizon. meanwhile, shares of l brand sinking today on the heels of weak june sales. the parent company victoria's secret and bath and body works reported a net sales decline of 6% for june compared to last year that stock is down 14% plus today. >> and we're still monitoring the situation in hamburg, germany, where protesters and police are clashing ahead of the g-20 summit p.our eamon javers is in the middle of it with a little bit more about the clashes ant rest of the president's trip eamon? >> reporter: yeah, that's right, kelly. we moved a little bit closer to give you a picture of exactly what's happening here, to give you a sense of where we are. we're up on top of a very steep hill that leads down to the harborside and river and i'll step out of the shot here and let you take a look at the scene right now.

we've got a large group of protesters down there. they were stopped by police who moved in and really put a halt to the situation they have got signs saying capitalism kills they have been chanting anti-fascist slogans somebody here just threw a bottle at the police trucks that are moving in behind us here with reinforcements for the police down there with the crowd. it's much more like a cross between a street party and a riot here going on as you can see, some of the folks out there just chatting, drinking, hanging out, but definitely an anti-fascist tone, an anti-globalization tone and anti-donald trump tone to the protests here as we've been seeing throughout the afternoon. across the street here, across the street near the harbor there, the protesters have taken over a building, and they are just sort of sitting on top of that building there, climbing up and down the police are giving them relatively free range to do that looks like no major danger there for the folks who are up there,

mostly just trying to get a better view of what's happening, and we've got a lot of spectators also, taking in the scenes tonight as we get towards twilight here in hamburg we'll get to a situation where it will get dark here later, and there's concern that this situation could get more worse with more drinking, more marijuana smoking and right now a cross between sort of a street party and riot going on here in hamburg, germany kelly, back over to you. >> let me reiterate the question i had earlier. where are you in relative to where the summit is going to be? in other words, will the summit leaders be anywhere near this? will they even be cognizant that this is going on while they are meeting? >> reporter: this is pretty loud, and you can hear the security cameras overhead so they might be able to hear some of that, but all of of this is well away from where the president will be, for example, and where some of the other folks will be, but the international media is right here so all of these images, these protesters are very aware

and media savvy. all of these images will go around the world that's really what they want one of the leaders was actually shouting in english to the crowd here telling them let's let them see us and hear how strongly we feel about this and started leading some of the chants, so you can tell that they very much want these pictures out there to the world, a message of resistance, a message of anti-capitalism, a message of anti-globalism here, bill. >> all right eamon, you and the staff be safe i know you've done this before >> will do. >> reporter: do what you need to do. >> good job as always. >> eamon javers. >> thanks a lot, bill. >> the dow is setting lows for the session as are the other major averages, dow down 154 points and the s&p down about 23. >> yeah. just looking up many so of the names in particular. we mentioned ge a moment ago that's clearly weighing on the dow. contributing to that decline of 4% intel down 2%. we've talked about some of the challenges as well to be had there. in the nasdaq tesla down 6% doesn't help and the s&p l

down 2%. real estate down nearly 2% real estate investment trust, that is. so you can see interest rate sensitive parts of the market having a tougher slog. that said, utilities holding up a little bit better, bill, as we head into the close here. >> all right and as we do that, we've got 19, 18 minutes left in the trading session here joining us to talk about the market and where it goes from here, our friend carter wirth, fewer and fewer stocks were part of that rise and that's unsustainable and you're here with the weight of the evidence. it speaks to the participation rate, and like anything is it a broad advance or does it have cracks or issues and actually you were saying bring one chart that could show that and i think it does. let me walk you through. two panels, top and bottom and the top and bottom is the extra weighted index gap store is 8 billion and gets the same vote as microsoft at 220.

and we know it's been ascending as the actual s&p has been ascending, but what we also know is that its relative performance all year long, really since the election, has been doing the opposite, so the index itself ascending, and the performance relative to the actual s&p descending. >> this is where you're seeing fewer and fewer stocks participating in this. >> that's right. and it's really been quite precisely since the election, and the market has been propped up, because that implies something, but sustained by few marquee names, and what we're seeing now is the market names are under some pressure. >> now what. the presumption is that the marking names have more pressure, and that the laggards don't actually come to life. we've seen a little bit of life in financials. it's short lived, actually energy tried and isn't, but the net of it is instead of the series of rotations you can have a general selling in equities.

>> and these marquee names, the f.a.n.g. stocks. >> people have been in those names and when you have a low economic environment and it's defensive you want to be in idiosyncratic growth go you go to opens, you've been in cycleality. >> are there cycles on the s&p that you're watching that tells you maybe we're getting to the point where you don't want to be in this market here? >> well, for one thing, if you are looking at how long you can go in history without say a 5% dip and selloff collection, pullback, whatever you want to say. we've gone about 160 sessions is, and that's one of the longer sessions going back to the 1920s, so, again, selloffs aren't bad they are good. if they are bullish they want the thing to solve so it rests if it's bearish you want it soft and either way a selloff is a good thing, not a bad thing. >> a warning sign. >> very good. >> thanks, carter. >> see you later. >> kelly thank you, both. we have a market flash let send it over to our meg terrell.

(slow jazz music) ♪ fly me to the moon ♪ and let me play (bell ring) >> we have a market flash right now. let's go to seema mody what do you have for us, seema >> a report from dow jones says warren buffett's berkshire hathaway is near a deal to buy encore which is one of the nation's largest electricity

transmission utilities that report says a deal could be announced as soon as today and is worth more than 17.5 billion. encore has been up for sale since its parent company filed for bankruptcy nextera energy made a bid to buy them back in 2016 but they reject it had saying it wasn't in the public interest bill, back for you. >> seema,thanks very much. heading to the last five minutes. coming back just a hair with the dow down 147 points. we can show you the today's trading pattern. just a slow roll south going into midday here and at the -- at the lows -- we're almost to the lows of the session right now, as a matter of fact, as we head towards the close the big lagard, we've already told you about, general electric and jpmorgan lowering its price target on the industrial giant to $22 from $27, and -- and maintaining its underperform rate on that stock, and that has been one of the biggest laggards

for the dow overall year to date, down about 16% verizon is the other one in that category oil, what an interesting day we had inventory data that came out that was very bullish. the drawdown was much greater than anticipated, and the market looked like it was going to take off, and we gained back some of the -- what we had lost recently from yesterday, but then late in the afternoon here, suddenly the market headed lower again, and we're at $45.29. very interesting developments continue in the european markets here the ten-year bund now at 56. a year ago right now that was a negative yield this is the highest yield now we have seen going back to the beginning of 2016 as they continue to talk about pulling back on monetary policy and easy money policy there in europe, and our own ten-year yield is now at 2.38 or thereabouts,

2.36 you heard rick santelli saying he wouldn't be surprised to see 2.41 look who i've got standing here just waiting for a bus here on the floor of the new york stock exchange, bob pisani along with arthur cash ubs financial services what do you make of the reaction we had a pretty good rally on monday and now we're giving it back. >> looked like we would get started. looked like it was new money for the new month, first day and then it wore out dead right on. markets are concerned about a global inch up in yields and interest rates, and they are a little concerned nobody thinks the ecb is going to raise and the whole idea of tapering and whatever. you would have thought with the korean news there would be a flight to safety. >> yes, yes. >> people would rush into bonds. >> that's not happening. >> and they didn't do that the other key factor was oil, and as you pointed out inventories helped in the morning and then at 1:00 when the energy stocks started to fade, oil rolled over. it broke down below 46

it almost threatened to break 45, and then last minute we had 350 million to buy on the bell, and that helped us get off the bottom for the bell. >> we've had this debate for many years for ten years we've had easy money policies, for ten years everyone has been saying eventually the dam is going to break and we'll concerned about it, but nobody is raising rates. the ecb certainly isn't. the bank of japan certainly isn't, and the fed will be very, very gradual. >> just taken their foot off the accelerator. >> an tistation down the road. ecb doesn't team sob very aggressive giving lip service. >> yields do this is a version of the taper tantrum. >> okay. yes, i said that just the other day and somebody took issue with that, didn't think it was nearly as bad as taper tantrum was years ago. this is their version of that right now, you know. >> and it's global it's global. >> lock what happened. after our taper tantrum a few years ago ben bernanke had to pull back on what he said, and after the taper tantrum of last

week, mario draghi had to walk back what he said about reflation. >> and you saw in the minutes what looked like some second thoughts about the fed people, too, that inflation is not going where they want it to be. >> and the concern, as they always have been, they are concerned about the market response to the policy going forward. they are very concerned about that. >> and you can say, in fact, we've had interest rate groups, reits very higher the last couple of days and home builders under a bit of pressure and still looked as modest look at the volume, 600 million on the floor, well below normal at this point. >> tomorrow morning the jobs number, i don't know -- i don't even know what the number is after the adp number, that we're expecting right now. do you think that's kind of a report that can still move a market right now >> probably not the headline number it will be wages. >> yes. >> wages will be key, and -- and the average workweek, how many hours worked that's almost as important as the number of people who get jobs. >> we're so smart anymore reading these reports, aren't

we >> it's about time. >> yeah, exactly thanks, guys see you later. we go out with a decline of 151 points on the industrial average and even bigger declines for the nasdaq and russell 2000. stay tuned now for the second hour of "closing bell" with kelly evans and company. i'll see you tomorrow, kell. >> thank you, bill, and welcome to "closing bell," everybody i'm kelly evans. a selloff today on wall street t.picked up, especially in the last hour has we head into the close. let's take a look at where we finished the dow dropping about 155 points on the bell, bringing it back to 21,323 after closing above 21,500 the s&p 500 for its part down nearly 1% today at 22.5-point drop to 2410 the nasdaq composite down around 1% some big decliners there, including under armour interestingly enough with about a 7% drop on the bell weighing there and the russell 2000, down

about 1.5% closed down about 1 1/3. right on the bell for the nasdaq nasdaq lower for the fourth time in five sessions dell a lot weaker today, too, volatility jumping up a bit more it's been three weeks since amazon announced its acquisition of whole foods is a partnership with dish network next we're going to have more with the tech giants going into the wireless space and we're monitoring the ongoing clashes between protesters and police in hamburg, germany that's tonight ahead of tomorrow's g-20 meeting, and we'll bring you the latest in there as we do get it. our eamon javers is on the scene. joining me is cnbc's senior market commentator michael santoli and the vice chair and portfolio manager at aerial investments and stephanie link from taa investments mike, like how you called them some tomorrowland stocks. >> yes. >> a nice way to talk about the

f.a.n.g. names and also tesla which is part of the story, is tesla's weakness magnifying what's happening with the rest of the market, or does it just -- is this just a contributor? >> i think it's a contributor and i think maybe the velocity and the downside of tesla is kind of because nothing else has come along to pick up the slack. therefore, it's more noticeable. you know, i was joking that the f.a.n.g. stocks and tesla, these very kind of long duration big great future-type stocks have been trading along with bonds, right? >> as if they were like long-term bonds, and it's actually some truth to that, because as yields go up, you know, you kind of have to discount this longfellow of cash flow that you expect from the companies at a lower rate and not to get too technical about it that's how they trade and the relationships, when bonds sell off the big growth stocks have sold off and there hasn't been anything else to step in and take up the slack fully and you have it back to a late may level. >> when interest rates go up, stephanie, all of a sudden the value of the future cash flows is diminished, people a little less excited about them. >> i think it goes back to

growth versus value, right depends on the macro the macro data has been kind of sluggish, 2%, 2.5% and in that kind of environment growth stocks tend to work. when we started to think that rates were starting to back up and today was sort of a good example with the german ten-year bond crossing 50 bips for the first time, rates started going up, financials rallied and energy rallied and then energy rolled and then the whole value trade rolled today a little bit. >> i'm glad you mentioned energy and oil in particularly. do you think that was kind of the fulcrum here. >> i absolutely do i kind of think we're back to what energy does and depends on what the macro and how we feel about the macro. i don't think it's -- it's indicative of a recession in any way, but it's, again, that kind of sluggish growth that we can't get out of our way in a very important commodity which i think it is >> you know, you talk about the slowdown i was surprised to see today an article about recession, not

putting words in his mouth charlie, do you think it's an environment where that kind of environment can persist for some time or do you also think that maybe some kind of correction is coming >> i hate to be -- everybody saying the same thing today, but i really do think that -- some of us have lived since 1981 and sign nothing but declining interest rates and when you have since 1981 interest rates going down every year that makes value stocks less relatively valuable and makes growth stocks with the future off ten years more valuable, and we could see reversal in that, and in fairness a lot of us have thought interest rates were going to go up, a year ago, two years ago, three years ago, but now, now we may be getting it and it's going to change things. >> if you're saying, let's back up for a second. what greg was talking about was a recession which you would think would imply what we've seen in the past, you know, prices collapse, unemployment rises, interest rates decline, charlie, but now you're talking about interest rates going up.

is that because you think that's going to be some kind of trigger here or short move. >> that's a great distinction that you're making, kelly. i'm still pretty bushel on the economy. we've got more money going into workers' pockets the employment situation, consumer confidence is high and regulation is coming down despite bumps in washington so i feel pretty good about the economy. companies are beating estimates. i think they are going to beat estimates in the second quarter, so i think we're going to have a situation with a stronger economy, higher interest rates and that means certain stocks do better than others. >> okay. that's the other part of the story. >> yeah. i think, look, greg was talking about the preconditions that you usually see in advance of a recession are very common markets. high asset values, low unemployment that's somewhere notice starting point of a recession, but it can be years before those conditions really get triggered into something like a recession it's a matter of kind of, you know, have your guard up a little bit or at least be aware that we're not early in a cycle. now, that's fine i think you have to be careful

2% off the all-time highs in the s&p 500 and bond yields up to not where they were a few months ago. we have to be careful about saying something dramatic has been shifted >> that's why yields are going up globally. global growth is getting bert on the margin and the ecb is kind of -- i don't know what message they are giving us it's certainly not as tight as they wrrgs right that's clear i don't know when they are going to be loosening, but the language is changing, and on the margin interest rates are backing up that's a very big move for the german bunds because that has implications for global rates, and i think that as a result, our rates clearly have bottom the. >> and it's dragging us higher. >> absolutely. >> i agree with that i do think in the back of investors' minds though, it hasn't been such a tight linkage between every tick in growth and where yields go and where the central banks go yes, the preconditions are there. the growth is better and these guys want to get out. >> if they want to get out, they

were seeing negative growth though, you know what i'm saying >> that's the whole premise of the discussion. >> but they want to get out so much that they are willing to overlook deflation targets being missed and they want to say, hey, look, let's get the markets back on their heel so if the markets have had a little freakout, that might not stop them that might be part of the goal maybe that's what's going. >> trip them up a little bit let me ask you on a much more granular level about under armour down 7%. it's emblematic of this market, or, you know, retail, as we know, is not having a great session. l brands had a crummy quarter. >> let me tell you about in consumer land. costco is down 11% this morning, before it opens, right down 11% from its high after the amazon news. they post a 6% comp, an astounding number, 4% traffic numbers, and the stock ends down it opens up, and it was sold every tick that tells me people just don't want to own retail consumer in general. l brands, l brands is already down huge, too, and -- and

that's before they reported a disappointing comp, and that got hit with 13%, 14%. >> are you a buyer then? do you look at the gaps and say -- >> i think it's very, very hard. i'm an owner of costco i'm trimming some on the margin are. i still like it very much long term i just think you're in the crosshairs right now in consumer i'm trying to pick out some names. i picked out tjx the other day. >> right. >> new position for me. >> but i'm not going in full right now. as much as i want to believe that these are values. it hasn't paid it's like the energy stocks. every time you try to bottom tick them. you get hit. >> you know, be patient. >> charlie, what about you, charlie, when it comes to the beaten down names in the market today? >> yeah, i mean, again, what mike said is true. some of these names are simply off very high levels, and so we would still think that 20 plus pe stocks still have room to come down. our broad call would be value stocks which have underperformed for seven, eight years now versus growth.

they are going to have their day in the sun, and it's going to be because inflation is going to come back a little bit that tends to help value stocks which tend to have those hard assets, so we do think that growth is going to be challenged and stock like under armour, this is not the time to get it. >> all right let's bring in dominic chu investing has been gaining momentum doubling market shares since the financial crisis how healthy is this for the overall market >> it's interesting because i'm hearing talk on stephanie link's side about individual stocks that played, things that she like i'm also hearing charlie dog about some of the sectors, thematic value versus growth elements that the calls into question whether or not investors really are playing in the stock market individually or through funds and etfs that invest more thematically those days the etf and broad index investing picture a bigger part of the overall pilot. take a look at this, according to bank of america, merrill

lynch, if you look at the stocks, where vanguard is one of the big investor funds out there in the world, the number of stocks that they have a huge position in. today in current markets, about 491 members of the s&p 500 count vanguard as a five-plus percent shareholder. that's how many people are investing in index funds in how much money they are putting to work in buying some of the biggest companies in america remember, back in 2010, it was about less than a quarter of stocks in the s&p 500 where vanguard had a 5% stake. take a look at some of the other pictures here in terms of market cap overall. with eve gotten to a point where back in 2010 vanguard held a 3.3% stake in terms of the overall market cap of the s&p 500. today it's more than double that, almost 7% of the entire market cap is owned by vanguard just to give you another indication of how big the index funds are and vanguard is one of them, by the way take a look at some of the client flows, bank of america, merrill lynch's own clients in aggregate and what they have done with regard to single stock trading volumes versus

etf-trading volsz going all the way back to '08. the red line is volumes for purchases of etfs, that blue line here for single stocks. they are going in opposite directions etfs are winning the day right now. this is the theme that people are going to be talking about. whether or not this kind of herd mentality investing ultimately ends poorly for some of those investors out there, guys. back over to you. >> dom, in fact, it reminds me of the op-ed in the journal a couple weeks back, had a couple of professors from the university of chicago law school, they were urging to take a step back from governance and even abstaining all together and this, of course, after some of them had a hard time whether to back activist campaigns or not and today's vanguard's ceo bill mcnabb was responding in had a letter to "the journal" when he said they care about good governance more than anyone else, the ultimate long-term investors before they own stocks forever. therefore, our voice on governance is the most important asset we have in terms of

protecting client interests. does this blog of active funds stand in the way of trying to push for better performance, or should their voices be herd as well >> they obviously have the right to vote if they want, but just as they abstain from valuing companies, they generally abstain from taking positions on governance they are not helpful to those of us who try to get one vote one share, for example, and get -- do away with dual class or have a management change. they are not set up to be helpful in that way. they own thousands of stocks, so they can't focus on one situation. in general i know they have the right to vote, but we would actually prefer -- we agree with the professors and would like them to abstain from voting. >> dom, that would be a huge deal if that happens because you're talking about the biggest players in the markets and the representation of, you know, loss of money on -- of individual investors kind of standing to the sidelines and letting the opinions of activists or whomever, people who have, you know, owned single

positions in the stock come forward. >> sure, and charles brings up a great point about this if you're an active manager who is looking to focus on the companies that you're investing in, you would like to think that you know them better, you know what's going on and you pay attention to the shareholder proxy advisory firms out there there are still a number of firms out there, active or otherwise, that kind of have this mentality or belief, kelly, guys, that overall you kind of vote with management and the board. >> right. >> unless there's some prevailing, pervasive fraud or something like that going on typically those types of investors stick with the management and stick with the board so you've got a huge debate about whether or not they should be acting in that way for sure. >> yeah. >> just a quick counterpoint to that point of view though. the index funds can say, look, we don't have a choice of not buying a stock we think has bad governance we own the index you're an active manager walk away. you don't actually have to be involved, and we're fiduciaries. we're not going to surrender our role as fiduciaries even though we don't go every single vote by vote. >> in which case i hope they beef up their role in corporate

governance dominic, thank you, appreciate it stephanie and charlie, we appreciate it. let's go to eamon javers in hamburg where police and protesters have been clashing at the site of the g-20 meeting eamon, what's the latest >> reporter: hi, kelly, those clashes have been intense at times here in hamburg but for right now here things have calmed down considerably the protest is more or less over in this area the anti-capitalists have gone some of the capitalists have come out, selling beers to people in the street people out here picking up cans for recycling to make a little bit of money, so things have cooled down considerably here. what we're told though is that the main body of the protest has broken up, but right behind me and to the left there is a group of people who set fire to some trash bins and the police have moved in with water cannons to try to put the fires out what we're also told is the protesters have broken up into smaller groups and dispersed throughout the city. my sense is they have gone in

this direction, the bar district here in hamburg. a lot of bars and night clubs right here hand that's absorbed a lot of action right now. we'll see if things heat up again later on in the evening as it gets darker out here and after people have had a chance to rest for a little while, but for right now very calm here in the streets of hamburg kelly? >> do you expect it to change tomorrow, you know, once the -- once everybody is on site? you mentioned you're not exactly where the meetings are going to be held, but i would imagine part of the idea is to steal, you know, whatever air time is being given to the g-20 summit itself, to be able to, you know, interrupt and impede and come take the attention from that. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely, and these protest remembers very media savvy. they have created floats they have created big huge visuals. they are firing off smoke bombs. we heard earlier just around the corner a lot of either flash bangs or large firecrackers going off, all of that to generate noise, confusion, excitement and attract some of the cameras as well. all of that have is happening throughout the afternoon here. we expect more of that tomorrow. remember, the main part of the

g-20 doesn't even start until tomorrow, so ultimately -- ultimately it's going to be -- ultimately it's going to be tomorrow whereas it's going to be the main part of the protest here as well so i think you can expect with the world leaders that are here you're going to see a certain amount of activity throughout the course of the day tomorrow as well, kelly. >> eamon, live, somewhere behind you, we're looking at some of live pictures what have look like water cannons being shot at protesters, getting a little violent there a moment ago police trying to restrain them what is the main message of this group? >> yeah. >> what are they trying to get out there, anti-trump or-or what >> yeah. this is an anti-capitalist prost, anti-g-20 and anti-globalization and there's certainly a big anti-trump element to it. we saw people with signs saying capitalism kills and the anarchist banners being flown. we saw punk kids in the '80s in the united states flying, that's

a big symbol here at the protest. you've got a mixture of different groups communists flying the oldhamer and sickle here as well. generally a group of left wing groups led by hard core of anarchists wearing all black and refusing to take off their masks for authorities. that's been a big point of contention throughout the afternoon. all very calm and throughout the afternoon, despite the visuals of the water cannons and things, it's been relatively peaceful. a lot of shouting, a lot of noise, a lot of running, but not a lot of violence, like you might have seen in protests in years past. >> eamon, i remember when we were covering the u.s. inauguration and even just blocks away from that parade route there was quite a bit happening. in this case, again, images from a moment ago showed it's getting a little contentious with the water connones and some protesters fighting with police. >> yeah. >> but -- some of the people

here are seeing the water cannons fairly common practice by the hamburg police. >> and they are running place to place. >> reporter: yeah. i can't see the images that you're looking at right now, kelly, but i can tell you that earlier today we saw about 500 police officers gather here behind me and they were moving in a large formation and at some point one of the officers called for them to charge and they literally started running, charging forward into the crowd. we heard a lot of complaints from protesters and people here watching the protests, that the police actually started the scuffling that happened here earlier this afternoon but charging into a group of anarchists, protesters who are simply trying to demonstrate in the streets, so some of the onlookers telling us that they felt that the police actually were the instigators in this case right here, but as you know from being in washington during those protests and some of the car-burning that we saw there, these things happen in pockets around the city. it's not the entire city all going up all at one time, and it kind of moves around from block to block so right now this block is relatively calm

elsewhere throughout the city in the pictures you're looking at right now,maybe not so much. >> eamon, obviously the authorities were prepared for something of this sort clearly the police were as well. is there any sense in which either the crowds are bigger or better or worse behaved than maybe it was anticipated at prior g-20 gatherings? >> yeah, no, i know they have been preparing for a significant demonstrations here. they are talking about 100,000 protesters coming to hamburg for this we've seen people being bussed in from all over the country so we know it's not just local hamburg folks who are here at the protests, but i don't think this is more out of control than the police have been planning for. i think the police were well aware of the level of protests that the g-20 and a lot of these global economic organizations can attract, particularly from anti-globalists, protesters particularly in the era of trump, so this reminds me a lot of cleveland and philadelphia and washington, d.c. and the riots that we saw there throughout the u.s. political campaign and the inauguration

last year. this feels a little bit like that though the nokes say the big difference in germany you don't have to worry about people carrying guns on the streets the protesters here are not armed as we've seen in the united states on occasion. here they don't carry guns in the streets though the firecrackers can be a little off-putting when they go off behind >> you more confrontation between the police and protesters happening on the street just a lot of pushing and shoving as we continue to watch this all develop to see which way it goes. if angela merkel, eamon no, fan of president trump's were to come out and say to people, look, you've got to calm down, would she do something like that would she be able to have kind of influence >> reporter: well, the political pressure on angela merkel is fascinating, right, because she wants tonight host of a successful world event but there's domestic political pressure on here here to stand up to donald trump, to confront him particularly on climate and trade and the issue of immigration as well. a lot of her political base doesn't want her necessarily to

just sort of meekly welcome donald trump to town they would like some sort of confrontation with him, but at the same time she has to deal with the folks in the street i think, at the presidential federal level, most politicians would leave it to local authorities and local police to handle this, not necessarily put out any specific message acknowledging it because that simply raiseses it to a higher level so i would think we'd be unlikely to see angela merkel talking directly to the protesters here, but one of the questions going into this has very much been now that she's within three months or so of a federal election here in germany, she's got a political opponent to be wary of here. one of the questions has been will she confront donald trump, and if she does in, what way will she do it and on what issues so we're keeping an eye on that politically as well, but in terms of the protesters, i think she would be unlikely to deal with this directly herself there's a big well-organized police force in town we saw them staging throughout the city yesterday in groups of 50 and 100, pre-prepared

the full riot gear, helmet, sticks, shields. >> yeah. >> you've seen the water cannons being deployed they have people movers. these guys seem to know what they are doing here in hamburg >> well, we're seeing police a moment ago kind of shoving out of the way, clearly clearing some sort of area or square, trying to get the protesters to burst again and moving around pretty roughly there, so it looks like all the tensions are going to remain. eamon, we'll check back in with you in just a little bit and see if things worsen as it goes longer into the evening. for now, thank you, eamon. our eamon javers is in the middle of all this action you're seeing in hamburg, germany, on the eve of the g-20 summit meantime, a big reversal in the minimum wage about to happen in a major u.s. city. and two weeks since amazon made its $13 billion food for whole foods. the e-tailer is not resting on its laurels. reports that it's lining up a wide-ranging partnership with

dish network and we want to hear from you contact show on twitter, facebook or send us an e-mail closingbell@nbcunii.com. you're watching cnbc, first in business worldwide is this a phone?

or a little internet machine? [ phone ringing ] hi mom. it makes you wonder... shouldn't we get our phones and internet from the same company? that's why xfinity mobile comes with your internet. you get up to 5 lines of talk and text at no extra cost.

welcome back amazon is taking over the world. that's what it seems like based on the action we've seen from the company. most recently it's been held by whole foods and now there's been talks between jeff bezos and dish network's chief to enter the wireless building. welcome to you both. amal, i'll start with you, because this is a juicy story hereby and how much of a partnership are we talking about? >> you know, it's unclear how it's going to play out there's a lot of different options here for the companies i think the most likely option is some sort of potential investment by amazon in a new wireless network that dish would build and amazon would get some sort of preferential terms out of that have to offer service to its prime subscribers and then to use the network for things that sound pretty extim like commanding and controlling its

drone one day or even helping to make the alexa service work better these are very early conversations. they can go a number of different directions and it can be structureded differently. a full-on merger was pretty unlikely if anything, it would be an initial investment by amazon. >> harry how would any kind of a hock woop with these companies play into what otherwise is going on in telecom and media obviously dish has been known to have all the valuiac spectrum with it having to make valuable use out of it. how might it change things in terms of various other partnerships and competitors >> i think the way you look at this as a media person and it's wonderful is there's a new girl in your town, or touse new economic terms a new bidder, that amazon is interested in this is i think extremely logical. consumer economics tells you a couple of thing. one, you need to be close to the

customer and amazon has over 50% of tv households now in prime so they have got plenty of customers to be close to they are a national entity, and then the second thing in the media telecommunications world, the -- the companies that have done the best, facebook and google, have embraced mobility, so here is amazon basically following these two rules. now the question is how much is the price of poker, and charlie is a world class poker player. he spent i think in the neighborhood of $21 billion for spec trumpet our own internal value is $45 billion on this, and charlie knows that he's sitting on a pot of gold it's very, ves flexible and what's going to happen is anyone's guess and, you know, i think if you're looking at a negotiation between bezos and charlie, i would rather have charlie's side of the equation he's really a very, very clever

guy and he's playing with his own chips. he has significant interest and control in this organization. >> let me just ask you this. >> a good situation for dish. >> it's fascinating. >> amal, if this does progress where does it leave the other telecom players and where might it leave some of amazon's rivals who might look at this as a competitive advantage and say what if we need to do the same thing? >> i don't think they have the scale. >> larry, hang on a second amol, go ahead. >> sure. it's an interesting question about the other tech companies that might, interested in doing something like this. there's been rumors for years that google would want to get into wireless and look the regulatory environment for tech companies could change, for internet companies that provide content or media over networks if net neutrality rules are rolled back and this is part of what charlie is betting on is that those companies -- it might look better to be in the

networking miss to some degree if the rules on network providers get rolled back and make they can extract tolls from the amazons and goingles of the world and that can be a factor in wanting to do something like this. >> i hate to break this off early, gentlemen it's great stuff we'll pick it it up at the future point appreciate you joining us. we just have breaking news on qualcomm to get to with our skwn ft. >> it's a double pronged legal attack that callcom is launching at apple the latest not a legal saga between the two companies. apple refused to pay license fees to qualcomm recently and that hit qualcomm stock. saying they are filing a complaint with the international trade commission, a suit for the southern district of california alleging that apple sin fringing six patents. they are going to ask the itc to

bar the importation of certain iphones, not all iphones but certain iphones. the time frame on this, they expect it sometime in august and sometime next year to probably conclude, not to expect the iphone that we see launched at the end of this year i spoke earlier today with don rosenberg who is executive vice president and general counsel at qualcomm here's a quote from him on the screen talking about the patents that are at issue here he says qualcomm's inventions are at the heart of every iphone and extend well beyond modem technologies these patents specifically have to do with battery management, and -- and inside of iphones he says ipads 2 when i smoke to him and how to maintain performance while conserving the

battery. apple has said, qualcomm, you have great modem technologies but you're charging too much trying to get a percentage of the entire price of the ifoam. you ought to be charging for the modem technology trying to narrowlycraft the technology saying this isn't about the podium by the way, these are not standard essential patents that we're asserting. you can't claim we're trying to shut down and use our market power to assert the specific claims these are things that aren't standard essential and don't just have to do with the modem and they are technologies, apple, that you are using. that's qualcomm's side of it of course, we've not had an opportunity to get apple's side of that so we'll be reaching out for that as well, but qualcomm filing with the itc to stop the impovertiation of certain iphones only twice this is only the second time in the past ten years that qualcomm has don something like that and that was settled before it ever got decided officially, kell el.

>> i'm looking at the apple share price. >> and we see qualcomm higher. >> i don't know the market's first read on this is going to be that -- you know, this hardline effort by qualcomm is going to push them closer to a settlement something that shestopped short. iphones or whatever the terms that are ultimately reached. going to be somewhere in between what apple wants and qualcomm. >> i'm also wondering for qualcomm, is this an effort to refocus back away from the lawsuits that it's been dealing with i think from national governments and a way to reframe the kind of argument there qualcomm says it's apple and a few others including samsung that's pushed the national governments to bring the suits so this really is a battle of the titans when it comes to tech from call come, they are trying

to maintain this business model where they get a cut of a sale of pretty much every smartphone out there. they say they are entitled to it the biggest maker of premium smartphones says you're taking too large of a cut of technology that we believe is unique for us and we deserve a higher share of that profit so this is certainly a battle over profits, kelly >> all right john, thank you. big news this afternoon. our john fortt bringing it to you out of san francisco. >> going to add anything >> i think the market is wondering if it will nudge things slightly in their favor >> they want a cut of every iphone certainly not a huge percentage of the list price. >> can you imagine. >> i think the market feels like there's room there moving qualcomm's way, a marriage a decade in the making qvc walking down the merger aisle. coming up, why it took so long to seal the deal and we'll go

back to hamburg germany for the latest on the g-20 protests. we'll preview president trump's meeting with russian leader vladimir putin form. we'll be right back.

welcome back it's now about 10:30 p.m. local time in hamburg, germany on the eve of the g-20 meeting of world leaders this tomorrow. there's been plenty of drama there already throughout the evening and into the twilight hours. protests between police and the protesters and clashes, i should say, have been picking up. you're eamon javers is there with the latest. eamon? >> reporter: yeah, hi, kelly things have calmed down here where we are over by the harbor. we can still hear the police helicopters providing security overhead and we know that protesters have been clashing with the police throughout the afternoon and into the evening it's now dark here it stays light relatively late it's fully dark here in hamburg and we'll see what darkness

brings protesters can more around a little more efficiently and a little more fired up in the nighttime. we'll see if that's the case we know authorities have been planning for this for a long time for the past several weeks and months there's been pre-protests here in hamburg, a group called smash g-20 has been active, creating some damage over the past couple of weeks and authorities here have pumped in enormous security apparatus, including all sorts of razor wires, barricades and even built a detention center that will hold those who are detained right now things are much calmer here and in fact relatively deserted we saw big police vehicles with the water cannons on them that are parked down here they have now moved away, whether they are done for the night or moving to another position, i couldn't tell you, and things here a lot calmer and cooler than they were earlier

today. kelly? >> thank you, eamon javers, there in hamburg check back with you in a bit. >> time for a cnbc news update let's go back to sue herera at headquarters. >> here's what's happening american tennis player and wimbledon wild card player matic-sands collapsed in pain. she stumbled and fell. twitter's account for wimbledon said that she suffered an acute knee injury. she was taken to a local hospital she was laying on the court for a full 25 minutes. parts of hanscom air force base near boston had to be evacuated for several hours after a truck nearby tested positive for potentially explosive material bomb squad eventually cleared the vehicle, but contents have been sent for further testing. and want to get guns off the street here's a way to do that. authorities in brazil used a steam roller to plow over thousands of guns in rio part of an ongoing operation by

that country's military to destroy 5,000 firearms gamblers of a different kind showed up at the closed down taj mahal. during the casino's liquidation sale people walked away with almost anything they could get their hands on including chairs, lamps and, of course, poker tables you are up to date that's the news update kelly, back to you >> i think it's going to be a hard rock hotel and casino amazing what they were selling off everything sue, thanks very much. we'll see you later. >> you got it. >> the prices are as high as the new york skyline that's the only way to describe the average sales price of apartments and condos in this city we'll tell you how high is high and how much higher prices may go what if we pull customer insights from the data in real time? go wait, our data center and our clouds can't connect? michael, can we get this data to...? look at me...look at me... look at me... you used to be the "yes" guy. what happened to that guy? legacy technology can handcuff any company.

but "yes" is here. so, you're saying we can cut delivery time? yeah. with help from hpe, we can finally work the way we want to. with the right mix of hybrid it, everything computes.

welcome back we had a broad selloff today on wall street, the dow dropping 158 points at the close putting at 23,120. nasdaq down 1% and the russell 2000 is the worst performer, down 19 points today time now for today's fast take first one of is another u-turn on the minimum wage. instead of seeing its minimum wage go up to $11 in january,

st. louis may see it fall to $7.70 and the current $10 minimum wage has only been in effect since may. >> starting to realize, local increases above the minimum wage well above the surrounding areas don't work as well and it's easy to move things around. something similar in seattle. >> baltimore, too. said we can't afford it. we'll see what happens new york has its continued -- i'm sure de blasio is going to keep that going. qvc and the home shopping network are merging. only a $2.1 billion deal for a company with a combined $14 billion in annual sales >> maybe a surprise that it's $14 billion, but it's interesting. kind of easy to snark and say, wow, this is like yesterday's dominant duopoly in home shopping on the other hand, if you think about it, they are direct to consumer omni channel. >> they are ahead of their time. >> retailers >> exactly. >> you talk about mobile is a big sales channel for qvc, and i guess i also didn't realize qvc

owns zhu ulily and ballard designs is owned by hsn. >> i can't get those commercials to stop coming from the house. >> malone is a savvy, savvy guy. >> it seemed ridiculous yesterday but because he's doing it it's a stroke of genius. >> that's true up next, finally, facebook is at it again the verge says it will launch a group video app to resemble house party which if you haven't heard of i've read about but can't use it made a lot of inroads with younger users-ins particular does it mean the house party is over >> never have to know first. >> do your daughters use it? >> no, at least, you know. >> that you're aware of. >> that wouldn't be the first time. >> yeah. facebook is obviously kind of got that amazon role in social media, but i don't know that every single one of this place is the first mover, so, you know, the joke is they can kill whoever comes along. >> i think if they are smart

enough to copy the really innovative and catchy app, then that's probably good enough for most of us. >> if they decide not to the buy it and copy. >> we can do it ourselves. not that hard. >> new york real estate is reaching eye-popping prices, getting used to that up here why the demand for luxury apartments in manhattan shows no 'lbeig bk.lowing down. wel rhtac i put everything into my business. and i had all these points from my chase ink card. so i bought ingredients, utensils, even made custom donut cutters. wow! all with points. that's how i created the ripple: the doughnut in a doughnut in a doughnut. suddenly it's everywhere. i mean, it really took off. what will you create with your points? learn more about the ink business preferred card.

which is known for its skyscrapers and sky-high prices is showing no signs ref treating robert frank joins us now with the new manhattan real estate record that i really don't want to hear about. robert >> reporter: well, kelly, if you own you want to hear about it, but if you haven't bought yet you don't want to hear about it because you'll have to keep on waiting. it was a surprisingly strong second quarter the average sale price hitting an all-time record it will now cost you $2.19 million on average to buy an apartment in new york city in manhattan. median sales also up total sales volume up 15%. a lot of this is driven by condos the average condo price now topping $3 million, and new construction condos, those are the giant glass towers we see all around town, those average sale prices were $4.7 million for an apartment now, this is a big turnaround because last year really starting in the second half. we saw weakness in manhattan, particularly at the high end and

people tell mow that even see the strongest part of the market be the entry level in manhattan which they say is $1 million for an apartment which is the 5 million plus range will stillwet maybe not as some expected and a lot of this is driven by some pent up demand we saw. people holding off buying before the election and now coming back on the market particularly in the spring to finally by, guys. back to you. >> thank you diane is here mpl ifls really cheering the price declines last year like crash, this is getting crazy, it's got to come down i think we're going to see sustained prices for a long time there's pent up demand, buyers out there. the market's good. i think even jpmorgan showing in

their construction loan. shows me long-term they're see ing a positive market. that's great news. >> robert mentioned that new construction is a very hot area. so these new apartments skewed towards the higher end, these condos, they seem to be pulling up the average price what about existing housing stock sns will we see mark ups or is it more steady >> it's steady, by bu i think it's leveling off because it got a little heat ed in '15 and this then we had some quiet this has through '16. had to do with the election. but then, the sellers got real the serious, strong sellers wanted to sell and the prices got real >> and it's amazing to me with all the new construction we've had, we're able to absorb that with the dif we're see ng the foreign buyer.

who is buying this property? >> it's the foreign buyers, but it's really fueled by new yorker, americans, locals. and it's not that we have tens of thousands of new construction when we see these towers, most of them are floor throughs you see a 90 story 90 units so we're talking hundreds into maybe low thousands. so, we will absorb them. >> you can't miss it everywhere you go in the city, 157, just sticking up there. thank you so much. why are ther me, are youe ce du sh sew performers on the flo of the new york stock exchange you can find out what they're up to after this quick break. ty ev. ddos campaigns, ransomware, malware attacks... actually, we just handled all the priority threats. you did that? we did that. really. we analyzed millions of articles and reports.
