hang seng is down. outside of stocks, here's global look at commodities. we're seeing the oil markets down a bit, 0.7% bitcoin is the big decliner. that's down over 1%. bitcoin has been moving either up 1%, down 1% nearly every day. been very, very volatile down 98 to 8,062 on the coin base exchange. gold not moving much as well one of the biggest minds on wall street sounding off on what he thinks are the biggest risks to the economy and your money. here's what jamie dimon told us in an exclusive interview. >> it's trade if the skirmish becomes more of a war. i would say the reversal of qe, we never had qe, never had the reversal regulations are different. monetary transmission is different. governments borrowed too much deposition people panic when things change. it's changing. we tell you it's changing. we know it will change
5:05 am
but it might have some effects that people don't expect i think it is bad policies bad policies lead to bad outcomes >> let's get reaction to that, the gdp number and everything else with peter boockvar from bleakly advisory group first off, big comments by jamie dimon. well get to those in a minute. eurozone gdp, 2.1. where are they in their cycle? >> it's great growth for them. it is moderation from last year where growth was north of 2.5% unsustainable last year. if they can continue the 2% for that region, that's good growth. >> they have the -- like we did years ago, they had the adrenalin needle into their economy more last year, did they not. >> right when the ecb at the peak was printing 80 billion euros a month, now it's down to 30, and in two months down to 15 the key question is how do european interest rates respond to the ecb essentially leaving
5:06 am
the room in terms of asset purchases. a lot of viewers may say why i do care about the european economy? you might care because if you put money into the equities, you made a lot of money. is the european market a good investment now for five years from now like we were five years ago? >> you care a lot because the european economy is the size of the u.s. economy it matters a lot since we do a lot of business there, we have to pay attention. the question is where do european bond yields go when the ecb walks away from qe the german ten-year, i find it hard to believe it's at 40 basis points if it goes to 1%, 1.5%, how does the european economy handle a jump in interest rates, which i think is in the cards next year. >> how does it handle it >> considering how i would say addicted we've become to very low interest rates, i think the adjustment could be rather jarring, particularly for those companies overindebted
5:07 am
>> what do you make of jamie dimon's comments people do not like change, but upbeat tone from, i would say, one of the two or three ceos that the world seems to listen to most. >> absolutely. he did state the obvious, that the longer tariffs go the longer the risk it is qe is a bad policy that leads to bad outcomes, now we see a reversal in the fed's balance sheet that ramps up in q4. how this turns out, we don't know because we never experienced it >> we have a two-day u.s. meeting today and tomorrow what would you like to hear from our central bank >> they'll want to make it a nonevent they want to tell markets they'll continue to go through with the gradual policy, which means a hike in september and a maybe in december. >> sounds like a tom hanks movie. peter boockvar, thank you very much all right.

5:14 am
higher today what about the price of oil? that's something else to watch we're seeing a lift in the price of oil today excuse me a decline. crude is down 0. % brent crude down 0.40% oil prices are still up 15% this year that price jump has given a pop to bp. they reported a 300% surge in profits last quarter oil giant's boosted production bp is hiking its dividend for the first time in four years as well big profit jump, a hike in the dividend the stock is up 0.7% joining us now is jackie deangelis. we have a guest on hold as well waiting. we are starting to see the
5:15 am
higher oil prices really trickle through in the results these are big numbers from some big companies like bp, chevron, exxon. >> bp and conoco did well. i thinkthese are companies tha are managing costs and they were able to take advantage of the high oil prices. chevron and exxon, not so much >> costs >> costs are the issue that signals the oil market still has a ways to go we may not stay at $70 a bar rem. barrel the companies may struggle as we go forward when it comes to price, yes, the market is rebalancing. we had that conversation supply and demand are in a better place any kind of geopolitical disruption, any issues coming out of iran. even last week, we saw disruption with the rebels from yemen and the saudis you can see those prices spike back up. that's what could change the market >> so we're dancing on that
5:16 am
razor's edge let's bring in richard mallison from energy aspects. you just heard jackie's summation here where do you guys see global energy supply and demand shaping up >> i think the biggest thing on the horizon is the iran sanctions. we think by the end of this year, iranian exports will have fallen by 1.5 million barrels a day. that's a huge loss for a market that's more evenly balanced. you take that much oil out, that's a problem there is more crude on the market now, but it won't be sufficient to offset the disruption entirely when we come to year end. we see demand holding up well. there was a weak patch in q2, but we don't think demand is struggling we think it will be decent from
5:17 am
here so, balances look tight towards the end of the year, and we had a short period of weakness with more opec supply before iranian production starts to fall. that sent some nervousness through the market >> sounds like you are suggesting that the amount of oil currently in the world is a temporary push and demand will remain strong. so correct me if i'm wrong, you're making a case for higher oil prices >> that's right. we see oil prices resuming that upward trend as we get into q4 and through 2019 jackie's point, if you have geopolitical disruptions on top of the ones we know about, that sets us up for a spike we're not seeing enough investment in new production to offset the declines, that growth in oil demand, and the disruptions that we're already seeing plus the disrpuptions coming down the line in the form
5:18 am
of sanctions >> i want to go back to those iranian sanctions. the market at first spiked on the news that we might see more barrels coming offline perhaps 1 million or more than that then the u.s. seemed to back offer and say we may grant some of those waivers, we may give companies time to back off from the iranian oil. maybe at the end of the day it's not as big of an event for the market what do you think? >> i think unspruzi iunsurprisiy everyone is looking closely and trying to dissect any statement coming out of the trump administration last night trump himself saying he would be willing to meet with president rouhani without implications, but very quickly secretary pompeo came out and said all the conditions they already set out in terms of iran scaling back regional activities, its ballistic
5:19 am
missile program, things like that would have to change before any kind of new deal or easing of the sanctions when you look at the comments in context, the u.s. said we know some buyers of iranian crude will ask for waivers, we will look at those and not rule them out, but the big message is they want to squeeze iran they want to squeeze iran's revenues and that means reducing oil exports. though i don't think it will go down to zero, i think we'll see bigger disruptions >> richard, appreciate your insight. thank you very much. jackie, see you in about three minutes. coming up, record breaking real estate. we'll show you an exclusive look at america's first ever billion dollar real estate listing. and speaking of billions,

5:33 am
life >> is it a permanent rotation? >> it might be if we look over the longer term we are at a position of tech and financials or growth and value where we have seen extremes in the past we've seen a reversal of a shift to value we have hit that point again it's hard to pinpoint that to a day, but we may be seeing that transition >> i think you're answering an important question a lot of viewers are sitting there saying facebook is a buy it's dropped it's cheaper valuations have come down. these stocks, i'm waiting, i'll buy them again do you think these stocks may not have a big reversal? that there's better opportunities somewhere else >> i think that's right. other ports of the portfolio may be important areas to deploy cash into. >> such as where >> you look at value parts of the market financials have been lagging global central banks, as they
