5:01 am
>> good morning. welcome to "worldwide exchange" on cnbc. i'm sara eisen >> i'm wilfred frost good morning to you from me as well throwback thursday, taking you back with some of the best boy bands before >> we've done this before. this is a favorite can never get enough backstreet boys >> let's check in on global ral street the dow futures are up again this morning nicely. 19 points. s&p up 3 nasdaq futures are up 28 part of the story there, facebook shares rising to an all time high following better-than-expected earnings and revenues, driven by higher mobile ad sales. we'll talk to a facebook analyst in a few moments the initial gut reaction was to fall 3.5%, 4%, then it came back up to the flat line. and now looks set to open up almost 4%.
5:02 am
another banner quarter 70% income growth. 40% revenue growth 2 billion users. the stats are unbelievable >> in contrast to alphabet earlier in the week. >> asian trade for you, mostly positive coming off the back of the dovishness of the fed yesterday. hang seng is up 0.7% leading the charge europe markets look mixed. this comes off the back of two or three strong days also comes off the back of a huge number of corporates reporting in europe. would have to say they have been mixed to negative. some huge individual movers. we'll get to them. deutsche bank down 3%. astrazeneca down 15% bayer down 3%. overall you would say it's relatively encouraging, that it hasn't affected the wider market the dax weighed by bayer and deutsche bank. broadly the picture still mixed, highlighting the level of valuation difference in europe compared to u.s. stocks.
5:03 am
it hasn't infected the wider market >> as for the broader market picture, ten-year treasury note yield. the fed statement yesterday was interpreted as dovish on the short end and for the u.s. dollar ten-year yield dropping below 2.30 that's where it sits now as for that u.s. dollar, it did fall to a 2.5% low against the euro/dollar index. it is stabilizing this morning plat against the euro. 1.1731 firmer against the yen, 111.20 and against the pound, 1.314 the numbers had to do with inflation, saying in the medium term or the near-term they won't hit the 2% target. yes, inflation expectations have been falling a signal perhaps they're in no rush to keep raising interest rates and trimming the balance
5:04 am
sheet, even though they did say that will start soon >> and the core measure has declined in terms of deflation prior to that they had the word recently in it also the fact that everyone is jumping on september and october seeing balance sheet reduction. confirmation of that means maybe not quite as many rate hikes let's show you what's happening with commodities that's part of the fuel for this market lately. copper is at a two-year here oil prices near eight-week highs. we got the drop in inventories yesterday. that fueled the rally. wti coming off the highs this morning, down a quarter percent. firmly above $48 per barrel. brent down a quarter percent as well gold, on the flip side of what we saw yesterday a weaker u.s. dollar today a firmer one a rally this morning in gold joining the broader commodity rally. >> big stock movers in europe,
5:05 am
let's jump to some of them shares of astrazeneca having the worst day ever after the experimental lung cancer drug failed a major test. shares are down some 16% a shocker for them shares of diageo shooting higher after the company reported better than expected results. the company announcing a 1$1.9 billion buyback. up 6.25% sarah will talk to the diageo ceo later. shell says profits tripled last quarter despite a pullback in oil prices. revenues of 72$72.1 billion in . 4.3 billion more than expected up 0.7%. deutsche bank shares are under pressure after revenues dropped 10%. the fixed income trading business underperformed. we'll hear from the ceo, john cryan in a few minutes time. the thing about that, yes, it missed on capital markets and
5:06 am
fixed income trading and pure investment banking and corporate banking, more of a concern that's why it's down 3.7%. the revenue miss focused on those areas. facebook shares are hitting a high after the company reported a huge surge in second quarter profits. shares of mobile ads rose more than 50% facebook has been squeezing more ads into the news feed and on instagram and squeezing more out of those ads on the conference call mark zuckerberg said facebook is focusing on how to monetize messenger and what'sapp. >> we're also working to build a business ecosystem around messenger and whatsapp both have large communities and are growing quickly with 1 billion people using whatsapp daily. it's still early on the monetization side, though we started showing ads to a small number of people on messenger. i want to see us move faster here, but i'm confident we'll get this right over the
5:07 am
long-term. >> zuckerberg says video will be a major driver to facebook's business over the next two, three years. they called themselves a video-first company. joining us is ivan feinseth. ivan, expectations were high going in the stock rallied more than 40% so far this year. facebook managing to surpass it. what were the highlights of the report for you >> the biggest thing is the introduction of communities, where mark zuckerberg talked about continuing to expand facebook's mission of connecting the world. they'll start to allow users to the create communities to group people with similar interests. the key driver of this will have more people join but increase user engagement. the more users are engaged, the higher the problability they wil
5:08 am
start to click on advertising. this is another extension of the goal of connecting the world, increasing engagement and eyeballs on ads. >> can messengers apps be monetized in the same way as video content? it seems much trickier for them to make the most out of whatsapp compared to people watching videos on facebook >> i think if you see an ad that has an interest to you, one of the other things they spoke about is to better use ai to target what is of interest to people if you continually see things that are of interest to you, there's a high probable you w l probability you will click on that. >> beyond messenger, instagram early stages, that helped out results, they have oculus, whatsapp, what can investors expect from those other bets as these growth numbers and their traditional news feeds start to
5:09 am
slow, which is something that facebook has promised would happen >> one key thing about the oculus headset and video is sharing experiences. and i think that's a key driver of engagement. and the more users are engaged, that's the whole focus the more users will focus on things they like plus the whole like theme of showing people things that other people with similar interests like are going to probably appeal to you as well. so, i think it's all about targeted advertising that's their key they really want to put things in front of people that they know they have an interest in. that's, again, the key here, that you're trying to focus people that have similar interests or find things that people like. >> facebook vers versus google is facebook beating google at
5:10 am
their own game or buy both? >> we have buys on both. they're very different google's strength is search. facebook's leading value point is connectivity of people with similar interests. >> ivan feinseth thank you for joining us this morning to kick off the conversation on facebook today is the single busiest day of earnings season in the u.s. more than 60 companies set to report among the big names, comcast, conocophillips, mastercard, twitter, u.p.s. and verizon. they'll report before the bell after the close, amazon, intel, starbucks and mattel let's talk more about what we can expect on the earnings front. joining us is christine short, senior vice president at estimize my first question is are they any lessons to learn from any of the names reporting today from the european names earlier cob con conocophillips is coming we had shell and total this
5:11 am
morning. >> energy is expected to still be the leader this quarter because of the week year over year comparisons we expect bottom line growth to hit 400%. some names not coming in as strong as expected we are still waiting for the heavy hitters, conocophillips, exxon, chevron at the end of the day, energy will shine as a leader you have to look at the overall s&p 500 growth number, mroefi m removing energy. we were expecting 8% bottom line growth for the s&p 500 at the beginning of the season, now like you said, we're about halfway through when we end today, we picked up a bit, at 9% because of how wonderful all the sectors have come in and reported if you take out energy, we're alt aboat about 4.5% growth. what if you dig beneath the
5:12 am
bottom line? what quality earnings are you seeing revenue growth >> revenue growth has been fine. we're at about 5% year over year that is down from the first quarter. there is an obvious deceleration in growth. 14% bottom line in the first quarter, 17% top line and contracted down to 9% and 5% on revenues still decent numbers but the reports are not coming in as strong i think you're seeing two big concerns or at least scapegoats here in the second quarter one being the stronger dollar, which is making its way into reports again. the second being the cost of labor. so you're seeing a lot more consumer discretionary names, especially blame labor costs on missed bottom line estimates what's your main takeaway in terms of the tech sector what do you expect for the other names to come? >> tech sector has been on fire. not only is this sector putting
5:13 am
up the largest number of beats, but beating by the largest percentage on average the tech companies that have reported have beat estimates by 12% so that's huge i think 85% of companies have beat our estimates at this point. i think everyone is looking forward to amazon tonight. that's with an internet retail technically within consumer discretionary. we have got an estimate for 1.50 on amazon versus the street which is at about 1.40 year over year growth expected to be very big we love tech the main driver being semiconductors we had micron early in the season leading growth there. we had amd this week so we'll get a few more names. anyone making mobile chips within the semiconductors are winners. nvidia, looking out for them -- >> mine mining bitcoin >> exactly gaming chips have been big for nvidia
5:14 am
pc chipmakers not doing as well. but for micron, which supplies many mobile chips, they have been a big leader. >> christine, thank you very much >> good set up there viacom reportedly out of the running to buy scripps networks. that leads discovery communications as the sole suitor scripps and discovery agreed on a price believed to be $90 a share. other issues need to be finished before the deal gets done. everything is expected to be finalized in a few days. we'll get a pair of economic reports, weekly jobless claims and june durable goods orders for big ticket numbers are expected to rebound. more on the big move lower we are seeing in shares of deutsche bank. that company missing revenue targets. you will hear from the ceo straight ahead. first a check in on the broader european market picture. germany weighed down by deutsche

5:19 am
we have shrunk the business a bit, sold off some businesses, non-core unit is completely gone i wouldn't like to suggest this is the level of revenues-year happy with, because we do want to grow the business client activity levels were low. when you look at the trading markets, in fixed income we're in the pack. >> what could be an optimistic sign for investors is that they finally can manage costs deutsche bank was known as the bank who can do a lot of things but can't manage costs i think john cryan is the first ceo i've seen in many years who can actually reduce costs. that's positive. having said that, he was also saying that he is thinking that europe will be the region where growth will be most active or most positive during the second half of this year. also going forward
5:20 am
and the ba banks should benefit from that. another factor which coulds a positive is that the ecb in the eurozone will stop its ultra loose monetary policy stance somewhere in the second half of this year. back to you. >> annette, thank you very much for that sara, shares down 4% today they are over 50% up from their september lows >> just to aud dd up the europen earnings picture, nestle was disappointing, saying organic revenue growth will come in at lower end of the range sales growth disappointed, giving fuel to dan lobe and his mission on activism. what kind of picture are we getting from europe? >> headline misses like deutsche bank, also bayer, also astrazeneca. but there's been some beats as well whether it's the oil companies,

5:52 am
