irma winds down, the storm weakens to a tropical depression as it pushes deeper into georgia. millions remain without power in the southeast. we're live on the ground with the latest pushing higher, global markets rally as relief over irma and north korea add fuel to the record rally we're is he had setting you up for the trading day ahead. and apple's big day. the tech company expected to unveil its latist iphone this afternoon. "worldwide exchange" begins right now. ♪

good morning and welcome to "worldwide exchange. i'm sara isner >> and i'm wilfred frost we'll get the latest on irma in just a moment, but first, let's check on global markets. apple led the nasdaq higher ahead of its big iphone unveil today. 11 out of 11 sectors on the s&p were higher led by the banks reverse ago 3% decline last week for the financial sector that was mainly because of yields rising. >> also re-insurancers got a big boost on the back of irma. >> they did, indeed. we also had news on barclay's at the conference, goldman sachs and wells fargo in the

spotlight. we look set for another positive day on wall street ten heavy year treasury note was key yesterday, as i said yesterday we touched below 0.5% moving close to 2.15% yesterday and we remain around that level. so a big move, higher in yields yields it pushed the dollar higher, it pushed the equities higher, as well >> and the move continues in asia overnight the japanese nikkei after a 1.4% day the day before higher, another 1% gain overnight. 1.2, really liking that weaker yen that we've been seeing in yesterday's trading session. hong kong closed higher fractionally, same with shanghai and the south korean kospi index up about .3% the german dax is trading nearly two-month high hes right now, up another .5%. the ftse 100 is the underperformer of the region, but pretty much overall for the upper row stoxx 600 which is

sort to have broad measure, it has been a pretty strong run >> the ftse is lower because the pound is higher. if we have a look at currency boards, we have cpi data coming in at 2.9% that was higher than the forecast of 2.8%, higher than the last reading of 2..6 and clearly well above the bank of england's target range of 2%, raising prospects at the bank of england might have to hike rates. we have a meeting on thursday not expected this thursday, but you can see a big jump in the pound off the back of that, 0.9%, 132.7. we have got a weaker dollar elsewhere against the likes of the euro but it continues to move higher against the yen, extending what was a huge move for the dollar higher against the yen yesterday. the broad intext the was up 0.7% in reaction to that move higher in yields. hoyle prices for you are a little bit down today by .5% they were up about 1% yesterday.

so just offsetting that a little bit today. 47.8 for wti and gold prices for you having had a positive weak very much moving in opposite to equities higher this week and lower in light of of it being a more risk on environment >> irma has been downgraded to a tropical depression as it pushes north into georgia a look at the destruction in its wake this had video out of jacksonville, florida, late yesterday. you can see the storm surge flooding the streets and damaging cars. so while the read sort of on wall street sxt beyond was that we dodged the most catastrophic scenario for irma, clearly this is far from normal for many floridans. millions without power the this morning from florida up through south carolina utilities crews are working around the clock to turn the utilities back on. jackie deangelis is working that

story for us from west palm beach, florida good morning, jackie the power story appears to be the one affecting most floridans. >> that's right. because it covers most of the state. yesterday we saw more than 6 million people across florida without power. that number has dropped down to a little over 5 million people that's definitely a step in the right direction considering the fact that this storm just blew through. but sometimes it's the outskirts, the outer parts of the state that are the hardest to get to. crews not only have to get out and restore the power, but make sure that these wires are safe this is a neighborhood that didn't have power about eight hours ago. this morning, some of the lights are on and we suspect that they do. but, again, these safety impediments are something that crews have to work on. in palm beach county specifically, we saw a little over half a million yesterday

with that power. that dropped about 125,000 but still, this is a massive project to take on and there are crews even coming from out of state to try to help with these efforts the ceo of florida power & light had this to say about the overall situation. >> people out of power for weeks. you need to understand, particularly if there's structural damage, it absolutely could be weeks if we have to rebuild parts of the system. >> now, i know some parts of florida are more hard hit than what we're seeing here in west palm beach but this power issue in communities like this is going continue to be a problem right now b people are starting to get ansi. they're not flooded, so they can get back to their routine operations it's not just the electric, guys i remind you of the fact that it is very hot down here. yesterday it was 90 degrees and humid. you have populations and

communities with elder will i people, people are special needs, as well so the heat certainly could be a problem. talk to us about the type of damage we've seen in florida and how it compares with what we've seen in houston in terms of harvey is it home damage, car damage, flooding or whipped and what that means for the likely kind of way that it's going to be waved for rebuilding >>. >> well, you have a very diverse type of damage across the state. in west palm beach because it was east coast, it wasn't hit as hard as some of the other cities along the west coast the keys, tamp ya, etcetera, they saw a lot of the flooding, a lot of the storm surge here, it's a lot of downed power lines, a lot of trees, a lot of debris so the cleanup efforts are going to be different, but that's not to say that they're not going to be difficult

>>. >> certain parts of palm beach had to be evacuated. we were concerned about the storm surge here, as well. i haven't heard anything specific on mar-a-lago but i can tell you that this area, relatively speaking when you look at the rest of florida, was seems to be compared >> jackie, thank you turning now to our top corporate story, apple is expected to unveil its latest generation iphone as a product event this afternoon let's get to landon dowdy with bhor on what you can expect. the day has finally arrived. apple's special event marking the the 10th anniversary of the iphone first, the tech giant is expected to introduce a new iphone or what some are calling the iphone x some key advances to look for, edge to edge screen, no physical home button. improved camera technology and wireless charging perhaps the

most stand out feature may, in fact, be the price, though the phone has been rumored to cost up to $1,000. testing consumers to pay it for the latest electronics and it's not just phones that will be the apple of the company's high today some reports suggest a new watch with its own cellular connection as well as an updated apple tv with four case support investors are hoping apple can win big with whatever the firm launches especially the iphone, iphone sales make up about two-thirds of apple's revenue. and last year was the first year we saw those stocks decline. it is up right now and we will have full coverage of the events starting today at 1:00 p.m. eastern. >> so important. apple has been such a strong performer. landon, thank you. up more than 30% this year a lot of it is on expectations

for today and what that might bring in terms of people upgrading. >> and i think clearly a lot of focus on how expensive this new top end model can be the but they're expected to launch three new versions of this phone so there will be the lower price model. i don't think that top price level is an issue if you expect to have some below it. but i'm also interested if there is a significant upgrade to apple tv because that's something that they've disappointed odd in recent years clearly it's an area that's very important the way we're seeing all sorts of companies invest in content which is something they have started to do recently with various shows. >> there has been a lot of anticipation and there hasn't been much delivery there keep an eye on tech today.

stocks are trading higher ahead of the big event if it turns out to be a big seller, more chips to be made in the supply samsung has record new orders for its fwal axy 8 smartphone. the note 8 officially hits the market on friday >> and, of course, one of the differences, as well, that we've heard about in the last couple of weeks is if you get surging demand for sam suck's top end models and apples, the company expected to meet that demand more quickly is samsung. on today's wall street agenda, the national federation of independent business puts out its monthly business survey at 6:00 eastern and then at 10:00, look for the job openings and survey.

>> on the corporate front, caterpillar is holding its investor day in arizona. shares of cat are up about 27% so far this year the new ceo took the helm in january so this will be a good chance for investors to hear from him but overall, look at the stock move it has been a pretty strong rebound. >> harvey schwartz at 7:30 expected to address their recent problems in the trading department and tim sloan at 8:15 a.m. he added himself about ten days, two weeks ago, so clearly

feeling like he needs to respond to investors more importantly, we're hosting a who's who of the investor community with hedge fund titans, private equity giants and top institution investors offering their views on the market and some of the best ideas. we'll have coverage throughout the day here on krn. head to deliveringalpha.com for more information lots of big names. >> got a good mix. bankers and hedge fund managers and policymakers >> exactly right >> and i'm doing the most heavy duty debt panel later in the afternoon. >> but you love that >> i do love it. right now, there is a bing for corporate product. >> and up next, a developing story out of north korea as the u.n. security council

unanimously steps us sanctions >> and later, demanding answers. lawmakers send a letter to the equifax ceo following atth company's data breach. the full details when "worldwide exchange" comes back whether it's connecting one of the world's most innovative campuses. or bringing wifi to 65,000 fans. businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." let's get up to speed on the market action. off the back of a great day for wall street. all three indices were up more than 1%. within the s&p, all 11 sectors

were led higher by financials, some insurers and re-insurancers getting a bounce but banks getting a rise higher and yields rising b, as well in europe, it's a positive day across the board where we have a moving higher pound. germany, a two-month high, up nicely last week, as well, up .5% today asian trade is positive, as well, though it is up particularly for the nikkei on the move lower in the yen yesterday. sara >> weilfred, the ewe natunited s security council approving a ban

on north cran gas ex porths and imports. this did stop short at complete oil trade for north korea or freezing the leaders assets, correct? is that the key take away? >> yes, that's the key take away but we have to also take away the fact that this is a unanimous vote i think that is what took the watering down of this resolution we need china and russia on board to get thises are are lugz to go. and i think that's what the flurry of a diplomatic activities that we saw over the many past days or so, that's what it was all about. yes, it was a unanimous vote no, we did not get that oil embargo, but we need to give some meaning to the fact that this is the very first time that the oil supplies to north korea was actually included. no, not an embargo, but a cap at

the current level. has north korea responded yet to these new sanctions? >> not yet i think asia time we'll get that tomorrow morning, maybe through state run media kcna or its state run media. we have not got that but we did have a prereaction before this vote saying if you keep this coming, then we're going to revoke, we're going to keep testing things, we're going to have more gift packages so that was the message until now. >> we've had a relief rally in asia because we didn't get a test this weekend in a way that we did get tests the prior weekend. how significant is it that we didn't get any missile tests over the last three or four days, do you think

>> i wouldn't read too much into that north korea will always have that appetite to keep testing, gain more information about its technology and these north korean holidays, they are just good occasions, good excuses to test its missiles or nuclear weapons, but we did not get that and according to one expert that i talked to yesterday, north korea has not provoked on foundation day except for last year >> so thank you for the perspective from sooul this morning. the wall street strategists and notes have been moving towards a diplomatic solution. i'm not sure what signals that we'll see. and i think the key is the vote.

russia and china going alongside the u.s. despite different rhetoric of time, they have voted together which i suppose is the wake-up call. >> let's see how effective it is still ahead, more fallout from that massive data breach from equifax >> but first, here is today's national forecast from nbc's bill karins. >> good morning to you, sar ra and wilf this storm has left its market the areas that had horrific flooding yesterday, charleston with the storm surge, jacksonville and the savannah area, that is over with. now we're dealing with this as a tropical depression. irma is now down to a depression 35-mile-per-hour winds just south of the columbus, georgia, and i will move to the northwest today and we will stop tracking this in about 24 hours as it rains itself out the clouds go from kansas city to off the east coast of north

carolina an immensely huge storm. everyone is asking what's next we have jose out this there weakened considerably in the last couple of days. it looks like it's going to create a loop and come close enough to eastern north carolina to watch it, but all of the long range computer models take it safely off the coast as of now, just some waves from jose that's your business travel forecast more "worldwide exchange" when we come back for the holidays,

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." let's get you up to speed on the market action this morning futures indicating another higher start for wall street after a very strong rally day yesterday. s&p closing at a record high the dow having its best day since back in march and look at the gains. dow futures higher by 51 points. s&p futures up 3, nasdaq futures up 14. very little in the way of economic data comes later in the week retail sales and inflation data will be market movers. as for the currency market this morning, that dollar bounce we saw in yesterday's session not having a lasting effect.the dollar is firmer against the yen. the pound is stronger on the back of some stronger than expected inflation numbers out of the uk. quick look at oil, 47.88 down .4% so we've been in this range following the effects of the

hurricane .as refineries start to come back online in texas, 53.62 is present down .4%, as well >> travelers will temporarily assess stock buybacks. travelerses put an early estimate up to $419 million for catastrophe related losses from harvey, including projected recoveries from re-insurances. flat today novartis says its biosimilar drug to treat blood cancers and other diseases has been accepted for review by the fda. the drug was approved by european regulators in june. it's up about .5%. >> in other corporate news, two key u.s. senators have facted equifax forness aes about that massive data breach including details about how three executives sold stock after the breach was discovered. equifax was lobbying about easing up on credit reporting agencies in the months before

the breach the press on this does not get better for this company. in the meantime, the proxy file between procter & gamble and nelson peltz taking a new twist. >> many people tell me why not, why not is not the government standard for our company we want why. who are the right people to bring to the company that would add value for the future he's proposed some things that could be very dangerous to the short-term, which is reorganize the company right now and he's proposed something very dangerous for the long-term future of this company and that is eliminating our corporate r&d. many of the inventions and the process improvements that serve many of these brands and underpin the tremendous performance and efficiency and value they offer came out of corporate r&d and into the businesses >> we're expecting to hear more about that proxy battle today at delivering alpha with cio ed garden who will be speaking in a

panel. the vote for that one, october 10th 40% of p&g shareholders are retail, which tend to vote on the side of the company, though peltz has presented a case and we went through some of those ideas in the white paper he says every investor he talked to said thank you for pointing out some of these issues coming up, a roundup of today's top stories and the latest aftermath of irma >> plus, incredible video out of connecticut as a small plane crashes in a parking lot we'll have the full details on this one when "worldwide exchange" returns.

global markets moving higher on easing concerns over hurricane irma and north korea winding down, irma losing steam as it moves deeper into georgia. and a viral video alert, a small plane crashing in connecticut. and it was all caught on tape. we'll bring you the unbelievable footage next it's tuesday, september 12th, 2017 you're watching "worldwide exchange" on cnbc. ♪ good morning and welcome back to "worldwide exchange" on cnbc >> a very good morning to you. >> and we should say minor injuries we're showing that plane crash >> we've shown it twice in and out without confirming no one

was seriously hurt >> thank god but let check in with global stocks this morning. the dowhaving its best day since march. dow futures up 51. nasdaq futures up 13 and s&p up 3 points the ten-year treasury note yields, higher yields. certainly saw 245 in yesterday's session on the back of low yields now the ten-year is up all the way to 2.15 which is a big jump from where we were in the low 2s last week. >> asian equities higher once again today, the particularly the nikkei having a fantastic two-day performance. last week it lost just over 2% and it's gained more than that in the first two days of trait trade this week. generally risk on trade this week, but also particularly easing concerns over north korea, despite a unanimous vote by the u.n. yesterday to invote

more sanctions we'll have to see if that prosecute provokes a response from north korea european trade is positive almost across the board. the ftse 100 is suffering because of a stronger pound. the dax in particular has had a good couple of weeks >> as for the broader markets, the dollar is mixed this morning. it was up nicely probably why you got such a big rebound in the nikkei. the japanese market. the pound is getting strength, almost .75% on the back of what was stronger inflation data. this will be a predictable for the bank of b england. >> clearly it's a lot higher than anywhere else in the world. >> they have athe opposite problem as us, higher he

inflation and lower growth >> you'd have to say the next move looks like it's going in that direction and hence you have the pound moving significantly higher >> we hear from them on thursday >> no change is expected >> no change is expected, but if we go above three, they may have to hike a little bit >> now to the latest on irma the storm downgraded to a post tropical cyclone bringing moderate rain to part of the southeastern u.s. and tennessee .ohio valleys. it's expected to weaken throughout the day

but look at the destruction in its wake this is a video out of jacksonville, florida. you can see flowing streets and damaging cars. business and commerce is slowly restarting after hurricane irma swept through florida. in tampa, the port has reopened sooner than expected that's why we find carl quintanilla this morning >> those pictures out of jacksonville yesterday were astounding and now the utter devastation of the florida keys. we have the uss abraham lincoln today off the east coast providing assistance and then the military is going to send a couple of amphibious ships to the keys where d.o.d. estimates 10,000 people did not evacuate the keys in advance of the storm. that's about one out of every eight permanent residents. so a lot of those folks there could potentially be on their own for a while. power is still a big problem 65% of customers in florida

still without power, including us here in tampa that's another million in georgia. as the storm makes its way north, it's going to affect a lot of electricity outages at the same time, it's blg been interesting to watch the economic engine of florida try to rev up again. we will get flight service out of tampa on the highways, interesting, you see convoys of fire trucks as they first responders try to get back to their hometowns. a lot of bobcats in the streets trying to clear way some of the dead branchs here at port tampa bay, they opened early, as wilf said and they called the gas companies and said, look, we have all this gasoline in these tankers here we had to keep the tankers full in advance of the storm otherwise the wind comes through and crushes them like a coke can. so if you want to come and get gas, come on in. the drivers, a lot of them had

had already sheltered in place they had to hustle to get back to their trucks, get down here we watched a lot of them fuel up yesterday, big lines of trucks coming in here, getting gas, and then making their way 40,000 gallons at a time to gas stations around the state. port tampa bay supplies receives about 40% of all fuel consumed in florida so this is a big deal. as you know, sara and wilf, nothing good is going to happen. no utility truck is going to be out on the roads restoring power if it does not have a full tank of gas so these a big story here. one last thing, of all things, guys, nielsen says ratings from the cowboys/giants game will be delayed because they had to evacuate staff here in tampa but overall, the economic engine trying to get back to work >> yeah. i'm glad you brought up the ports, carl. there's so many of those ports that were closed and you mentioned the importance of bringing the fuel tankers on because they rely on that, i

guess, through tankers and pipelines. florida, i didn't realize, it's the sixth biggest export state it is the gateway for goods and products that go to south america and central america. any word on some of the other big ports? it's also obviously one of the biggest cruise areas in the entire world >> yeah. it's going to be a big story you mentioned exports. you're talking containers now. and port on the everglades on the atlantic side of the state has a much larger container business port tampa bay is largely -- they call it liquid bulk so they do a lot of gasoline, a lot of orange juice, for instance but even here, sara, they may be putting the gas from the tanks on to trucks, but the ships themselves had to go offshore a hundred miles to avoid the storm. they had to come through and literally scan the water to make sure the channel was safe for a ship to come back in

so you're not going to see fresh tankers come to port maybe until tomorrow or thus so the activity -- they have to be very -- this has to be done very gingerly because the last thing you want is a giant tanker coming in here, rung over something that happened to fall into the water and then you've got big problems so they're still trying to be careful. >> carl, now that the worst is behind us, and i don't want to down play the tragedy of both of these recent storms, but you covered katrina very closely given how much fear there was coming into both harvey and irma, is there one positive take away that perhaps the death toll wasn't as bad as it could have been given the severity of these storms and does that point to better preparation, that we have learned from the mistakes of the past >> i think that's dead on, wilf. whether it's public officials, public receptiveness to those warnings, i think people are -- i don't know, i could be wrong i think there's a mind-set going into these things that you're

not going to say, oh, i remember the '60s, we lived through that, we'll be fine. i think that mentality is slowly dying and this was a good example of people who -- look, it wasn't as bad as we thought, but people are going to be without power for weeks. i think a lot of people are grateful they may have evacuated to, say, georgia or makin or alabama, who knows where but it's not going to be easy down here for the next several weeks for a lot of customers >> carl, thank you very much from tampa i'll see you at 10:00 a.m. for "squawk on the street. in global news, the united nations security council unanimously approved new sanctions against the country last night against north korea breaking just a short time ago, the north korean ambassador in geneva telling the u.n. conference the delegation condemns in the strongest terms the latest security council can resolution the envoy says, quote, forthcoming measures by north korea will, quote, make the u.s. suffer the greatest pain it ever

experienced. so earlier when we spoke to cheri kang in seoul, we were awaiting the north korea response pretty strong words coming from the north korean envoy >> not unexpected. >> not unexpected, but a pretty clear statement against the u.s. in particular and saying that the u.s. will suffer pain. there we go. we'll see if there's any quick reaction we saw a market reaction not really in terms of any significant moves we've seen today. so kind of no change in the market reaction, but strong words from north korea the. >> and we'll keep an eye on the twitter in chief, as well. when we come back, matting accountability today's must reads are straight ahead. and as we go to break, european markets are trading higher almost across the board because of a strong pound.
