what's an important development this year is a lot more concerns using machine learning to actually identify and find those videos and have people review them afterwards to take them down and we've actually become much more effective now that we've actually started deploying machine learning in addition to people so we're ramping up both the machining technology, as well as the people, 10,000 people who will be helping us with controversial content across our platforms. >> it's such an interesting problem. of course, it's sort of like being a bawhac-a-mole in some cases where they have users and then it has to be flagged and taken down and it can help as long it's as used for good. >> and the chiefs coming forward, with the similar hiring it's a question for companies whether it's too little too late and whether there's enforced regulation to come in years ahead that will impact their

sign a bill giving so-called d.r.e.a.m.ers, a bapath to citizenship. >> those here, we should not be giving a path to citizenship it's wrong >> the bad part comes with the idea of the wall which i thought was a great idea in the 15th searchtry when china built the great wall not so smart today >> reporter: a long way to go in a very short time. and democrats should shut down the federal government again because if there is no deal, the federal government runs out of money on february 8th, wilfred, courtney >> edward, thank you very much for that preview of all of the going ons in washington. well in other political news, officials from the u.s., canada and mexico are expected to complete the sixth round of nafta talks in montreal today. another round of discussions is expected officials attending the tox over the weekend were said to be

nasdaq also up for the fourth straight week for all of those averages so, so far, it's been a banner year for the bulls take a look what's going on on the yields for the ten-year. we're at 2.7 earlier in the session. still holding there, 2.71 for the ten-year that started ticking higher after the slightly disappointing gdp number on friday and asia markets for you, hong kong, could end up 10.7 today. giving up half a percent or so today. but still up 10% japan suffered a little bit last week because of the stronger yen. it's flat this morning down 0.75% last year and the ftse and german dax trading lower because of strong currency france is flat and germany and france lower, ftse 100 just higher

let's round things out with a quick check on what's going on in the energy market we do see wti and brent crude are slightly lower to start the session after ending the session higher on friday to round things out take a look the agold which ended friday down .08%. a busy week ahead, look for today personal income, tomorrow, case-shiller, and the consumer confidence and the fed with a final meeting. and wednesday, chicago, pmi and pending home sales the fed statement expected at 3:00 a.m and the isn manufacturing index on thursday, with the auto sales. followed by the january jobs report on friday, along with consumer sentiment. this is busiest week among the highlights, apple,

facebook, amazon, exxon, chevron, mcdonald's mastercard, visa and u.p.s let's talk about the markets now, chad morgan lander from washington advisers. chad, thank you for being here >> thanks for having me. >> wow, what a movement with the dow. a lot of up and down with the news of steve mnuchin and president trump. how are you looking at the week going forward and how that affects global markets on how we should be investing? >> in the short run, we expect the dollar to weaken overall, that's on the back end of stronger growth and the repositionses of where the ecb will be going for 2018 we expect there will be an end to qe by the end of september, october, and then they'll start raising interest rates in the late part of next year into

2019 >> does that take into effect what we're seeing the weaker dollar clearly down 3.5% this year does that play into earning? >> it is it's a positive tailwind for u.s.-based corporations at multinationals but one has to "overall revenue mix for s&p 500 companies is still around 40% of international. so, nonetheless, we believe that the u.s. earning season this year, and also this quarter is going to be quite robust not only on the top line, but the bottom line. keep a careful eye on the nasdaq we expect that the nasdaq earnings southwest revenues are going to be up roughly 10% on the revenue side >> if you look at the sectors, all 11 sectors were positive on friday we have health care, staples, materials, tech and industrial, do you think there's room to run on those and if we were to pick a sector

which one should we invest >> we believe health care, as well as tech will do quite well going into the end of this quarter. with that said, we're overweight growth as well as overweight equities in general, in relationship to bonds at this point in time. again, strong global growth. everyone nose about this a federal reserve, as well as a global central banks that are quite dovish overall >> clearly arriving state side, what yield level do bonds begin to look more attractive once prices have fallen >> i believe in the 3-ish range here even when it comes to the ten-year but it all depends on where the european yields go overall, the u.s. treasury market, across the board, has been anchored by regular yields within the eurozone and as well as in asia that's one of the critical reasons why you're seeing such substantially odd yield curve here >> it's pretty optimistic that

you've got at the moment what's the big risk out there that will change all of that >> wilfred, all of that valuation here we're in nose bleed territory from that historical perspective. that's one thing also a slipup with central banks and tick lateral with the federal reserve. if they get too hawkish, we believe that overall, the curve is priced to perfection. third, my major concern is china. my over positioning, it doesn't have to be a bear market in china. what's good for china is not good for the developed world when it comes to trade >> chad morganlander of washington crossing adviser. >> the fallout continues with the mogul steve wynn emily tan is live in macau with the fallout there. hi, emily. >> reporter: hi there, we're keeping track with what's happening with the latest with

wynn macau trading in hong kong. the market is closed for the day. for the day 6.5% closing down at the end of the day low not quite the magnitude that we saw in the stock in the united states where it was down 10% close to $10 billion market cap erased but this is in reaction to the accusations launched against steve wynn and these accusations he has strongly denied and called preposterous he makes up about two-thirds of his operating income from this city alone we got in touch with the macau gaming regulator and asked whether they're taking a closer look at the issue at the end of today. they have yet to issue a formal response but they say they are going to answer our request. this comes as nevada and massachusetts gaming officials say they are both taking a closer look into the issue this, of course, is about a $2.4

billion project in boston called boston harbor that they're looking to set to open in 2019 and in massachusetts, the officials there saying they're going to be reviewing the company's license. so, the stock is expected to remain under pressure in the near term, both in the u.s. and here in hong kong. or i should say the stock traded in hong kong but has little or no impact on the macau operation. again, we're also keeping an eye out on the license, six concessions for the operators here in macau are set to expire starting in 2020 that will start with sjn as well as ngn and for wynn, due to expire their renewal in 2022. that's to keep an eye on largely no operations in macau from this. >> thank you very much billionaire saudi arabian prince alwaleed bin talal

was the standout person that everyone wanted to meet and have meetings with. it goes in comparison to alibaba. saying it's actually growing faster it's more diversified. it's taking payments better. a crucially, jack mar's relationship with xi jinping very good. and "the washington post" saying that's not so good, an important factor that could see the decade going for alibaba and amazon it was in yesterday's paper. >> and that goes very well with my must read my pick, "wall street journal," titled "sayers, say no to amazon." the professor richard ford talks about how finalists in bigger cities to solve finalists for amazon's hq2 he also thinks amazon already

knows it wants to be in the d.c. or new york area but is trying to get the best deal by pitting these cities against each other. he writes at home they're all about fighting quality and gentrification and the minimum wage but they apparently have no problem forking over hundreds of millions of dollars, in some cases billions, to a corporate giant led by the world's richest man. saying they already know amazon's going to the d.c. area and just trying to get the best deal, like guys, walk your walk, talk your talk just anme opinion >> i know. it's a business case and either way it will benefit jobs and will benefit whatever state is goes into it and amazon is in a position to strike a better deal >> sure. >> when your position is a

federal one and they're uphoused federal and states to have a federal system, that's the whole point. if you're in the uk or european nations that's not an option because you don't have that power. >> of course >> otherwise, you might otherwise not have that federal position >> right otheri otherwise, states gain and lose all the time still ahead, earnings to watch. what that can mean for your money. that's straight eaahd. and u.s. equity futures pointing we're back after this.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." i'm wilfred frost. the trump administration is considering a takeover of part of the country's broadband network. documents obtained by axios and confirmed by reuters show national security officials suggest the u.s. neats to centralize its next generation 5g network to prevent china from

spying on traffic. the new move would be unprecedented. under the plan, the u.s. would build and pay for 5g and rent access at&t tells axios to launch 5g is already, quote, well down the road sanofi is striking a deal to buy ablynx for $4.8 billion. the belgium company's closing price on friday. the deal comes after ablynx rejected a lower offer from novo n nordisk. a group of activists are calling on avon products to consider putting it up for sale. they plan to send a letter to the board. they believe a year-long effort to turn around the brand has failed and requires new leadership shares up by 2.5%. >> the fed of ford china has

quit citing personal reasons after 2 1/2 months on the job. ford china sales fell 4.4% last year overall higher by 0.4% roche wins a breakthrough for the label for autuomati aut. google alpha bed unit bit u. and deutsche bank plans to hike payments the $2.2 billion the german newspaper reports the news comes amid concerns another year of low benefits could push bankers to defect to more

generous rivals deutsche bank 6.6% in german trade futures down as much as 70 points on the dow at the start and now down 70 points 2% gains in each of these three indices. good morning >> good morning. >> last week 2% gains. every week, exactly. and all 11 of the s&p sectors were high are. year to date, month to date, 9 out of 11 higher it's incredibly broad is that something that concerns you? >> look, i think we had a step function up in expectations. i think part of this has been a really good forecast season out of the united states building up from 11% gains and that's happening before we actually had the impact of tax cuts in states what you see a little bit this morning you see pressure both bond and stock markets the one thing that sticks out over the month of january, the

u.s. dollar lost 3.5% of its value while relative interest rates actually picked up markets had been cruising along with stronger equities we see some pressure in the bond market and the dollar in the exact same direction. it's a more volatile year set for us even though we're legitimately fundamentally more optimistic how much of a earnings across the world this year. >> just to touch on that point, clearly the dollar side despite yields rising stateside. that because it's rising >> no, it's the opposite united states, we had yields pick up to the eurozone, for example. and yet the euro has picked up at the end of the u.s. dollar in 2017, the pu.s. dollar went up too far, too fast. we're seeing that bullish on the

u.s. dollar and just taking one direction in the marketplace and not seeing any volatility, not see anything challenge with the federal reserve meeting again this week. and the market having to be considered this could be considered a four-year hike year. we have to question whether this continues in one single direction. >> chad morganlander was on earlier in the show. he said one of his concerns valuations are at nose bleed levels we touched on that at the beginning the discussion how much do you think we can run? and how much do fundamentals need to support that >> the single sort of market that has the same valuation. if you take a look at the most extreme way of looking at u.s. valuation april or cycle adjusted pe, you know, we're one-third where we 1999 for example. for the rest of the world, we're 50% where we would be in 1999. so there's not just one single
