dow futures pointing to a higher open on wall street but tech appears to be under pressure again. another key step for tax reform and lawmakers move to keep the government funded. plus a deal on the big screen the uk cineworld is buying u.s. movie theater chain regal. it's tuesday, december 5, 2017 "worldwide exchange" begins right now. ♪ good morning a warm welcome to "worldwide exchange" here on cnbc i'm wilfred frost. >> i'm courtney reagan in for

sara eisen >> great to have you with us let's get straight to the markets. extraordinary seesaw session yesterday. the dow up 300 points at one stage in the morning, around about midday lunch time, started selling off, such that the dow ended off 58 points or 0.25% those intraday swings were similar across each of the indices. the s&p ending lower the nasdaq ending down 1%. definitely the same theme throughout the day whether we were at the peaks or troughs that's the selling of things like tech and buying of things that could benefit from a lower corporate tax rate like financials this morning you can see a similar theme once again the dow is higher. the s&p is fractionally higher but the nasdaq is lower. the dow up 8 4 points. ten-year treasury note did rise over the weekend to cross above 2.4%, but slipped a bit yesterday. it is below that level still today, 2.38% on the ten-year.

look at what's going on arou around the globe ahsia is mixed but mostly lower. the south korean kospi is higher by a third of a per sen. the hang seng is down by more than a half percent. watching developments over here with what's going on with our tax reform and we lost steam in the afternoon with the markets and the dow only ending up higher look at what's going on in europe also some brexit uncertainty that we've been talking about earlier on this morning on cnbc with our team over in europe you can see the market there is mostly lower you have the ftse 100, the slight stand out up about 0.2% >> should mention, had some eurozone october retail sales, plus 0.4% year on year. the consensus was 0.7% so quite a big miss. earlier the composite pmi for

the eurozone was at a high let look at the broader markets, oil prices down 1.5% yesterday having had a decent run of late. today at 57.3 for wti. dollar board for you which was markedly higher at the start of the day yesterday as were equities, sold off a bit as did equities ended up 0.2% for the day as a whole. today mixed picture. slightly stronger against the dollar and the yen markedly stronger against the pound which had a seesaw session yesterday, as courtney mentioned. as we look at the intraday from yesterday, it jumped early yesterday on thoughts they might have reached a settlement on the irish border and citizens rights, about two hours later, the dup in northern ireland, the government partners for the conservatives decided they didn't support the deal so we sold off again and continued

that selloff again today bitcoin, just to round things up, what's the latest on the price? we are at 11,620 >> there's a pair of economic reports on the wall street agenda the october trade deficit is out at 8:30 a.m. eastern time followed by the ism manufacturing index. auto zone and hg supply report before the opening bell. dave & busters is out after the close. a fun place to go. don't know if you have been. >> i haven't i had not been there before i moved here switching focus back to markets, are we finally can capitalizing concerns about valuations and performance in the tech sector? >> yeah. the big moves in the market are telling us there's been profit

taking in those big tech names that have done a lot of the rallying this year you're seeing financials gain on the flip side. this is what we've been seeing for quite some time. certain tech stocks have high valuations, not necessarily a place we want to play a positive tech theme there are other stocks around the world that can play on technology financials being much stronger of a play for two reasons. benefiting from deregulation, benefits from lower tax rates and financials are the one sector that benefits quite nicely from higher yields. we know from the fed and we know from central banks around the world that there will be a sense of yields going higher whether it's in the treasury market or in the monetary policy rates, and that's beneficial for financials across the world, particularly in the u.s. >> consumer discretionary hit a new record high yesterday. there's a number of stocks mixed in there you have some big names like some of the media companies which are mixed in with the

retailers. in general retail actually had a strong day yesterday several days of gains. do you read anything into that when we talk about the holiday season, the consumer, with trends so far looking pretty strong >> the consumer across the world has been a key driver of the recovery and the broader few years. even this year when you see retail sales numbers, consumption elements of gdp being the stronger one, 70% of u.s. gdp is consumption, that's a strong part of the economy when you look at holiday sales, the thanksgiving, singles day in china or in the christmas period we expect that to be strong, continuing the trend of the past few years of strong retail sales and strong consumption across the world. it's been agood period for the past few years when oil prices have been low. oil prices are on the rise, so we expect petrol prices to increase as a feed through, but that element of consumer spirit is still there

we expect that to support some of the stocks in the u.s. and europe >> let's focus in more on the tax reform bill. if and when it isdelivered wha do you expect its effect to be on the underlying economy, given that the market move yesterday was so resoundingly positive for a few hours and sold off will the effect on the economy be temporary >> it's going to be tricky to see, because there's so many elements of the tax reform bill in that. the headline rate as it falls from 35% down to 20%, as has been current ry star rly stated have great benefits for s&p 500 companies or smaller mid cap companies in the u.s. that will get higher eps based on reduction of a big cost. however, for the xhir, we econo expect this to boost gdp going forward, but it's almost a stoking of the fire. the u.s. economy is in late cycle. tax reform can help certain parts of the stock market perform well as we've seen

certain companies perform well yesterday. for the economy, we expect this to be a time when recession risks are rising not in the next 1 mon2 months, in the next two to four years, with wage growth increasing, consumer spending falling, that's in the longer term, the tax reform can help but can't stave off the ending of an economic cycle >> thank you very much for joining us. in washington news, house republicans introducing a so-called stop gap spending bill the temporary measure would fund the government until december 22nd mitch mcconnell says it will be passed by the end of the week. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are expected to meet with president trump this week to begin talks on a longer term spending bill. republican leaders in the house and senate are racing to merge tax plans and send a bill to president trump before the end of the year. a conference committee plans to reconcile the two piece of legislation starting this week

monday it applies a total transaction value of 5.9 billion combining the uk's largest cinema operator with regal helps bet pore signals the firm to take on u.s. industry leader amc holdings and give it more scale to fight growing digital outlets like netflix and apple the transaction provides compelling value for stockholders and will further build on a strategy of innovative concepts and premium amenities. look at the stock. shares of regal have risen more than 13% this morning cineworld is down we already discussed this, to summarize the crucial advice, they need to bring the british pick and mix candy station over here, take the u.s. popcorn back to the uk, and u.s.-sized seats are much better. >> works better for you. i have not had that british

candy you say is so great. you have to bring it in and share with the class >> i did do that after halloween, you missed out. i will do it again >> i totally missed out. maybe you will bring back more after the holidays >> done. starbucks is opening a 30,000 square foot roastery in china today. the store is locateded in shanghai it features small batch roastings of rare and exotic coffees. starbucks is also partnering with alibaba to create an augmented reality experience this morning andrew ross sorkin reports live from the roastery among his guests are howard schultz and alibaba executive chairman jack ma i wish we could taste system of that rare and exotic coffee blend. >> it's a fascinating move for the company. they're rolling out these roastries to bring back the fact that they're a premium brand, not a mass market brand. also interesting how much howard

schultz, though he's no longer ceo, he continues to focus on these roasteries he spent a lot of time on the shanghai one, and that tie up with jack ma, that will be a great set of interviews on "squawk box" coming up >> we'll stay tuned for andrew ross sorkin. amazon officially launched in australia first orders were taken today. retail stocks rose in australian trading as many analysts took noted of uncompetitive prices for amazon across their platform also not some of the reports suggesting they didn't have quite as good a spread of products as they developed in other nations they've been in for quite some thyme interesting that this has come along and the reaction, because it wasn't such a great launch, but retail stocks prices have gone up. clfrnlgts is >> which is so interesting right now they're not worried, but just wait. >> they've also been announcing the launch and the launch has not been as good as possible a small pick up today. the other thing on amazon, i

know from various stories when i was investing there and friends there, from 2010 to 2012 and '13, a lot of aussies were shopping on amazon but the u.s. version and willing to pick up the transport costs to ship the whole way. it has got a lot of exposure there already as a brand and as a company. so if they can get these things right, it will be the same issue for traditional retailers as you would expect >> now they have the fulfillment center there, which is supposed to make the transportation costs lower lower, but if the dollar is not as strong, there are other forces at play lots of news out of australia. hopefully mandy is doing well. a major week for brexit talks, a live report from london on what you need to know next. and later today, wilfred's live coverage from the goldman

points higher. the nasdaq down a full percent shaping up a similar picture again today with tech the laggard. let's look at the pound over the last 48 hours. we will talk brexit later. this highlights how the optimism of yesterday morning that a deal on a divorce bill settlement and the irish border was done, late their w l that was scuttled when the dup leader said he did not agree with the british prime minister. peter spiegel joins us from "the financial times. whatever way the prime minister turns, she will annoy somebody this week is a crucial, crucial crunch week for her future >> it does i know, you and i have talked about this repeatedly over the last few months that she's hit a crucial crunch time. we're waiting here today to see whether this is the moment where

everything blows up. there are irreconcilable differences here if you look at northern ireland, you have two choices which don't coordinate either northern ireland has a regulatory regime that is similar to the republic of ireland, but that leaves a rupture with britain, or it sides with britain and has a regulatory scheme similar to the rest of the uk but has a hard border are ireland the problem is those are irreconcilab irreconcilable if northern ireland gets a special deal to be closer to ireland, scotland will want a special deal and london will want a special deal. suddenly you can feel the whole thing unwind here. theresa may met with the cabinet this morning the question is do these ruptures, which we knew would always come but have been pushed off and pushed off, is this the day and moment where these things blow up in london that's what we're watching closely. they could paper this over and push it down the road, but we know this was always going to be the issue which is almost undoable

we wonder whether this is the moment where the whole thing unwinds. >> as recently as a month ago, we would have thought the hard line brexit members of the conservative party, whether it's boris johnson, michael gobin, they wouldn't have wanted to accept the divorce settlement but they wouldn't want to accept regulatory alignment across the uk with the rest of the eu, yet they're not speaking up as much as we would expect is there a sign they're starting to realize that the whole thing could unravel, the whole idea of brexit could unravel unless they back theresa may >> yeah. this ek exposes new dividing lines within the tory. you have unionists and those who feel the union is not the most important issue. if you are a hard line brexiter and all you want is to leave the eu, you don't care about northern ireland that much northern ireland tens to be a

peripheral issue in british politics since the good friday when we settled the troubles if you're a unionist, and the formal title of the tory party is the yune nounionist party, y' want to see northern ireland turn into a quasihong kong special arrangement with the eu. so you're seeing dwigs withdivin the tory party realign themselves, and those who are one nation conservatives are reasserting themselves we're watching what is the new alignment, where the new cleavage is within the tory party and is that where the split mideasterns today. emerges today >> peter, quickly, to wrap things up, what is the reaction

of the pro brussels, pro europe elite who of course want the eu to continue to strengthen. would they have wanted a deal yesterday or are they again rubbing their hands with glee at how badly this is going for the brexiteers >> they think any collapse of the british government, any divisions within westminster is bad for them if there's no deal this is bad for ireland. ireland uses britain as its gateway to europe. it can't have a hard border between ireland and britain and still survive economically so they don't want bad things to happen to ireland. they've been amazingly united behind the irish dance there was a deal between dublin and london on wording that would allow for regulatory regime to mirror itself in northern ireland and ireland. they wanted a deal done by the summit so there's no schadenfreude here

they were shocked that theresa may, who has a competence agreement with the dup, had not lined up her own allies in parliament beforehand. there's a bit of a bemusement about why theresa may and the tory government can't get their act together on this when it's their own backyard that seeps to be more trouble. they had a deal with the irish and brussels, and it was her own backyard that caused trouble yesterday. >> peter, thanks for joining us. coming up from taxes to keeping the government funded a live report from washington. 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. we can identify threats 50% faster. you can do that? we can do that. then do that. can we do that? we can do that.

the moment a fish is pulled out from the water, it's a race against time. and keeping it in the right conditions is the best way to get that fish to your plate safely. bacteria can multiply to high enough levels that even cooking it will not destroy all of them. it's definitely the most important thing in my business. how fresh is the fish? where it comes from? how it gets here. the more i know, the better. sometimes the product arrives and the cold chain has been interrupted, and we need to be able to identify where in the cold chain that occurred. we took our world class network and we developed devices to track environmental conditions. this device allows people to understand what's happening not only with the location of that asset,

but also if it's too hot, if it's too cold, if it's been dropped... it's completely unique. we ship fish, beef, poultry, vaccines, insulin. this is about monitoring and protecting everything we ship. i catch all this amazing, beautiful fish and then once it's out of my hands, i have no control over what happens to it. if you have a sensor that can keep track of your product, it keeps everybody kind of honest that way. it's really all about the network. you are looking at trillions of transactions a year. not too many companies in the world can even scale to that type of volume. who knew a tiny sensor could help keep the food chain safe? food has to be fresh. it's that simple.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." let's get you up to speed on the market action. it's similar to yesterday. the dow is outperforming, tech stocks underperforming yesterday the dow ended up a quarter percent, the s&p and the nasdaq down. the stocks that did well this

year were selling off. the ones that maight benefit fro tax reform outperformed. let's look at oil prices they were down yesterday about a percent. half a percent today 57.2 the price of wti. still in the high 50s, so nothing too concerning there dollar board, similar to the equity market. there started the day strongly, pulled back by the end of the day. ended up by a quarter percent, today -- we're on gold now, so i'm not sure what's happening on the dollar board the dollar is a bit mixed at this hour. gold is up 5 basis points. >> thank you very much so, time for today's must reads. my pick is from project syndicate from the co-founder of

c ceosynovation. the author writes about china's success in consumer basing digital technologies and e-commerce with food apps, bike sharing apps and alibaba they argue while business in technology lags t may be about to change. retraining the displaced will ab major challenge for china's government as will be preventing the major digital players from securing innovation stifling monopo monopolies, but the government's readiness to embrace the emerging digital age, per suring supportive policies and avoiding excessive regulation, has already placed the country at a significant advantage. >> the most interesting on that theme that i learned about from general mcchrystal, in terms of the question of who has the best

weaponry in the world, is the u.s. miles ahead they said, no, china's innovation means they have caught up as much as the u.s that's something to keep an eye on my must read is from the "new york times." why concerns about net neutrality are overblown the good news is that we will soon have a real world experiment to show who is right and who is wrong on this topic the united states will get rid of its rules and the european union and canada will keep regulations. in two years time will american internet be slower, less innovative and split into two tiers leaving canadians to enjoy their fast and neutral net that's a good point. we'll see if the u.s. rules rolls back, we'll get an example of whether the fears are overblown, which i guess is sort of pro business, anti-business argument at the moment but the internet changed drastically since net neutrality became a core idea

we'll see. >> he argues mainly it's overblown. >> absolutely. this is a take from the "new york times" suggesting they should be rolled back stateside. approaching the top of the hour the team is getting ready for "squawk box. andrew joins us from china this morning. we're looking forward to a great day ahead. >> hi, guys. we are in shanghai this morning at the grand opening of the new starbucks, the largest starbucks in the world about 30,000 square feet we will talk all things china we have an amazing lineup coming up on "squawk box." we'll talk with howard schultz from starbucks, but also jack ma of alibaba a big conversation about the chinese consumer and the relationship between u.s. companies and china. then we will also try to introduce you to the most influential investor in china. the warren buffett of china from sequoia capital. we'll talk with joshua cooper a

putting into perspective what's happening on the ground. and we'll introduce you to the ceo of starbucks china, melinda wong we have a lot coming up today. we will be seeing you guys in just a bit when "squawk box" begins for now, i will send it back to you. >> thank you very much, andrew it will be a great show with a lot of focus in china. amazon has officially launched in australia. retail stocks rose in australian trading as analysts took note of uncompetitive prices for the prices on the amazon platform. this is the business being done from amazon in australia with its distributions that are located in the country business was done there belie previously >> it's interesting this has resulted in a relatively poor launch for amazon, but bear in mind retail stocks have already, you know, pulled back, and

traditional retail stocks have pulled back on news of e-commerce entrants. that's an example of a developed market where amazon has not made a big impact yet >> 23 categories only. they'll get bigger >> that was the issue, the launch came with not enough product spread as opposed to different pricing. discovery communications will become the majority owner of o.w.n., the oprah winfrey network. the xaechcompany announcing it l increase its stake to 70%. winfrey will stay on as chief executive through 2025 >> i wonder if shale continuee' do her favorite things like on her show the whole audience would get cars, $3,000 blankets.

>> he's absolutely outstanding still. coming up, tech stocks under pressure this week while the dow rockets to another new high despite pulling off the ghhis of the session yesterday. the full market story straight ahead.

and, yes... maybe a little magic. ♪ there's a pair of economic reports on the wall street agenda the october trade deficit is out at 8:30 a.m. eastern time, followed by theism manufacturing index at 10:00 let's look at futures now. tech sold off yesterday, the dow performing and the s&p and nasdaq both lower. the dow is up 45 points, yesterday the dow was up 300 points before midday, and ended up only 60 points or a quarter of a percent let's bring in hans olson. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's talk about the intraday

move yesterday and whether that concerns you there was a lot of optimism which eroded significantly yeah we've been pulling in a lot of return we would expect in the early part of 2018 into the closing days of 2017, the one that we had of late is both remarkable and somewhat expected in the sense that it's pricing a lot of the tax benefit from the deal but that said, you know, we're up 4%, 5% since the end of october. that's a lot in a short period of time. >> if it's pulling next year's gains early on, you thinkthis is totally the tax hopes, less of a santa claus rally that we often see in december. i think something like 74% of the time the dow is higher in december >> you're right. some of this is definitely the

santa claus rally. the timing is fortuitous without a doubt we're pricing some of that $5, $10 per share in earnings that will result from lower corporate taxes so when you start relating that to earnings expectations for 2018 on the s&p or something on the order of 11% growth, add th hair cut that you do for 5%, 7%, add 3%, 4% more on top of that, you have some real earnings growth that markets are beginning to price nfrnlg term nfrn >> in terms of oil prices, the impact on the economy, do you think it's something similar do you think there's something more temporary that people might be pricing in?

>> from a macro perspective, any pop that we would get would be more consumer related. i'm not sure we will see a flood of investment as a result of lower taxes that takes time to take effect. you have to plan for it, then you release the money over time. from a consumer standpoint possibly, i think the real durable impact here fhere, if tn make the pivotto regulatory reform and relief, both that and tax relief could be the game changer in getting us back to a tren grow trend growth of closer to 3% >> there are differences between the two bills. does the market care so much which way some of those differences go and how big of a difference will that make to equities >> there are sectors that care you can see this playing out now with the corporate alternative minimum tax. i have to admit, i never knew there was a corporate alternative minimum tax. there are all these tax carve

outs that industries have enjoyed heretofore that are threatened when you run to get the deal done the way they are with the very titght time frame now that will be relitigated in the halls of congress. >> as you look at 2018, do you prefer developed market equities internationally or state side? >> 2018, i think we're developed market equities international. we like the european story still looks like they're a couple years behind us on the growth trajectory and earnings trajectory >> emerging market view? if we are right and interest rates continue their path of normalization, that's going to be a pretty big drag on returns in the emerging markets. so we're less enthusiastic about that >> hans, great stuff hans olson for us. just about 20 seconds left or so keep an eye on futures, mixed picture like yesterday
