1,280 the price of gold. "the financial times" reporting today there are two big threats on the horizon for the pressures metal. let's bring in henry sanderson, ft reporter. two big threats why you think gold prices could go down. what's the first >> gold is at a turning point. there's great expectations now that the fed will raise rates and other central banks around the world such as bank of england. gold does badly when interest rates are higher, it provides no yield for investors. it makes other assets more attractive that's one threat. also the dollar has been strengthening, which is also a threat gold is priced in dollars t makes it more expensive for other buyers around the world. these threats loom on the horizon. >> the correlation with the dollar holding stroke, nng, not something you expect to break

down >> gold has closely tracked the dollar and real rates and interest rates after taking into account inflation. so what is critical is whether the fed raises rates despite inflation still being low. that could be harmful for gold >> what about the kind of aspect that gold is used as a safe haven in times of worry, geopolitical concerns. it seems of late it hasn't worked in that way it's more things like the yen that have been purchased, even if it's regions like japan threatened by geopolitical concerns >> gold does have this reputation i think gold has done well this year because of north korea, brexit, a full menu of geopolitical tensions. also some people say if equity prices wobble, or if there's a collapse in equity prices, gold could benefit. when you look at what gold does over past crises or periods of tension, gold initially sells off because to me people often

sell gold to meet margin goals of equities. gold does hold its role against certain geopolitical events or financial crises >> thank you very much for joining us from the ft in london >> thanks. still ahead on "worldwide exchange," new details emerging into sunday's deadly massacre on the las vegas strip. a live rorept from the scene when "worldwide exchange" returns. most american homeowners would be shocked if they knew just how rich they were. the average american home value has increased $40,000

before locking his hotel room and turning his weapons on the crowd below. >> it's an amazing story still what's the resilience like on the ground there in las vegas? we've seen lots of clips of the sheriff. he's clearly doing so well is that a similar tone of what people are like in las vegas >> i think you see it every day that they're trying to get back to the way life is supposed to be in vegas. more each day. also realizing it won't be that way ever again you're starting to see more people out on the strip, seeing more people in the casinos, restaurants, bars. some of that is slowly starting to come back here. it will take a long time >> finally, you mentioned in your package the girlfriend of mr. paddock, very much seen as

helping this investigation as opposed to being a suspect of any form >> you're right. she told the fbi she had no indication at all that anything like this could happen she was surprised with airline tickets for a two-week trip to spend time in the philippines with her family. and once there, was wired $100,000 to to buy her family a home she was concerned he was breaking up with her and that was his way to do it she also said she suffered and was praying with the families and victims here >> jay gray, thank you very much for that baffling search for a motive news out of puerto rico. the island's governor is seeking to reassure bondholders after president trump said puerto rico's $72 billion debt load

this is the competitor to the apple iphone x and the samsung 1 s8 plus. it has no head phone jack, but it did unveil wireless headphones which can translate on the fly they have the augmented reality capability, something apple talked up. and the artificial intelligence. it retails at about $849 if we move on to samsung's top end offering, the galaxy s8 plus, this has similar specs under the hood, the screen is larger than the pixel xl so close competition between those two. the final competitor is the iphone x, their high-end phone this has an oled screen.

slightly smaller, 5.8 inches, but has some of its chips under the hood >> where do you want to start? lots of products from google >> we'll come to the ear buds in a second sticking with the smartphones, clearly the google pixel and the samsung phone rely on the same google powered operating system in android how does google differentiate hardware to suggest people should buy that, which has got less of a track record than the samsung version? >> the problem with google, it's an underdog. it's not often we describe google as an underdog. the problem is as well they priced it at the same price point as samsung that's not a good strategy when looking to draw customers away from the likes of apple and samsung. google has to be aggressive on marketing. it try dodd thied to do that if

our phones, you will get some exclusive google specs, like the google lens, which can identify anything when you point your phone at it. the strategy is to focus on android and boosting that and showing off the best of what its phone can do versus the competition. >> tell us about those ear buds. they can translate all languages instantly? >> interesting product they're powered by google's ai you tap your ear and you say help me speak french you say a phrase, the ear buds will give the translation back to you in the language you desire it's an interesting technology the ceo of google talked about the potential of translation

in essence, getting sympathy, which she didn't have over the last year when she seemed robotic and not opening up her cabinet and letting people do kind of -- advise her on what to do on the flip side t showed the difficulties she has in terms of kind of having anything go her way at the moment. >> yes >> the bottom line, florence speech ten days ago was meant to be the reset on brexit the conference speech yesterday was meant to be a reset on domestic policy altogether, not a great relaunch siri is confused about the bulgarian anthem when you ask siri what is the bulgarian national anthem? she responds with justin bieber's version of "despacito." i never ask siri much, when i

have, she has a hard time understanding me >> let's play the bulgarian national anthem. >> sorry, i can't -- >> sorry, i can't do that. >> it didn't work. >> british siri. >> are they not all the same >> no mine is a female siri voice. >> do you think that's automatic? it can sense my accent it's better than the google ear buds >> that's funny. >> i will try that later i want to hear what the bulgarian national anthem is like. applebee's latest pro message is getting buzz. they are selling $1 marg rives every d margaritas every day for the entire month it's part of the neighborhood appreciation month >> i have a small beef with this one. i used to be a server at

"america will return to the moon and go beyond. this is penned by the vice president, mike pence. he writes president trump has revived the national space council to assist him in developing and implementing long-range strategic goals for our space policy on thursday, the council will hold its first meeting in nearly 25 years, and as chairman i will deliver a simple message -- america will lead in space again. it's about future space policy, and the way they focus on it the reason i picked that particular line, i would say america almost unquestionably is the leader in space still, but now partly private companies instead of the state and nasa. either way, clearly refocusing efforts that way >> i was thinking why is he writing that when there's so

jobs data. everybody knows jobs data will be depressed because of hurricanes if you see average hourly earnings go up, the market will be convinced, y all systems are go fed is hiking rates, andflation taking shape the missing piece is growth to higher wages maybe that will take shape >> we remember janet yellen saying the lack of inflation is a mystery. she may no longer be sitting in that seat come the next several months do you have picks or thoughts on how the different fed chair potential nominees may be impacting your outlook for the dollar >> that's one of the reasons why i think the dollar rally has been so muted. fundamentals have been pro dollar for the last several

weeks. the reason why the dollar rally has been muted is because of uncertainty around the fed chair and in washington, d.c it's been more of a political risk trade as you said, it's very much unknown at this point how the next fed chair will shape up it appears if it's kevin warsh, it's somebody more hawkish some people think that neel kashkari could be a potential candidate because he's an easy money candidate. a lot of things are unknown. that's why the dollar has been at a standstill. the markets hate uncertainty the fact they communicated to the market that yellen is unlikely to maintain their post, i think that will create a bit of turbulence for the dollar >> ten seconds, euro, yen or pound which will be weakest against the dollar >> pound seems to be the weakest. it dropped today because of rumors that may would resign, bounced back, but kneecaped by
