3:00 pm
not a casino debate. >> it is the coop are ration of local colleges >> if the market can climbs a wall keep the worries coming >> thanks for watching >> closing bell right now. it's friday. welcome to closing bell. the dow on pace for another record close details are coming up. i'll have all of the details the state trying to recover from florence as it faces trade head winds. i'll have more on that coming
3:01 pm
up >> welcome to the closing bell we'll get to all of those stories. the dow and s&p on pace for another record day >> and both up for the week versus the nasdaq which isdown
3:02 pm
he warned the latest round will hit the company's margins the cost of mitigation of those that is underway right now is also included in the gross margin guidance and that cost of mitigation has certain impacts over the course of three to four quarters you'll be able to mitigate thiseffect
3:03 pm
>> we are joined by jimmy from the american enterprise institute. if i start with you, bill, how much impact have we seen on broader but specifically walmart pricing and when is it likely to start to impact things more meaningfully >> i think walmart has been able to absorb the pricing. the question is whether they actually should the costs are mitigated and passed through some start thinking about you heard the previous talk about how his dpaen was mitigating costs and doing things they need to do to deal with it.
3:04 pm
tar my expectation i think this is not 100% probability but i think a reasonable probability these tariffs will be in place for years between the united states and china the idea is to mitigate and absorb prices. it doesn't seem to be a long-term strategy >> what do you make of walmart coming out to say how
3:05 pm
significant this impact will be? do they have any alter yor motives here >> i think both to be quite honest with you. you know, the christmas light example, that will probably cost 30 cents on a strand of christmas lights not only are they an importer but also an exporter or they are retail business in china is an importer of u.s.goods. this is probably a little more
3:06 pm
complicated but i do agree with the position that the prices have to be passed through eventually most retailers are starting to make plans to do that the consumer has to feel it and change their buying behaviors so then retailers and manufacturers would change >> go ahead. >> no. i was going to point out that walmart is one of thousands of u.s. companies that filed comment and letter to the trade representative over the summer before the tariffs went through. on one hand u.s. biss fusinessee complained about not getting preferential treatment and intellectual property threat on the other they are going after the u.s. for tariffs how do you square those two things that they want fair terms of trade with china.
3:07 pm
they a longer term strategy to force companies to reposition their supply chains. that's what the administration is saying. all it will take is three months those can be shifted around to other countries or back to the united states. i think when you begin to look at the longer term prospects it begins to look like a business environment for the coming years. >> we'll see how this continues to shake out in corporate america. thank you for weighing in. >> you bet >> let's talk about how immaterial pacts the market. joining our closing bell exchange today cassandra is here and jim and rick joining us from chicago. jim, record highs for the dow and the s&p despite the biggest retailer in the country giving a clear indication that this is
3:08 pm
going to mean higher prices for the consumer and warning on the u.s. economy >> as people talk about the new highs people might get excited they go look at their accounts and it's not as much as they would have expected. that's big diverse jee verge en. if you look at the chinese market it's in a bare market india is in bare market. if you look at europe you have no gains out of europe while the u.s. market and in particular a small group of company has lead us to new highs it is leading people to think they are in better shape globally they are not quite as good as things would seem in the u.s. >> september has played out better than some had feared after a decent summer it will
3:09 pm
have mud slinging and create more ugliness and we have earnings season. i think between those two things we'll see an increase in volatility i think if we get past the two items on the other side could be a very strong market depends on what happens in the outcome of the election i would actually say that i disagree with the other guests in the sense that this is a very broad based market expansion those smaller companies aren't in the dow jones and so, you know, you are seeing across a spectrum of different sized companies doing very well.
3:10 pm
i think the fact that even though we have the nasdaq down and you have other two indexes doing very well it speaks to that >> so rick, actually it was a much better week around the world. what's the narrative there did things get better on the front? >> our markets are doing well despite walmart complaining they will have to i think it is the story and it's not these aren't going to effect the economy and the economy isn't always synonomous it will be much more than it is in an extreme direction mode i think we have to pay a close eye on the pound and how it can
3:11 pm
effect the first quarter of 2019 we proceed as if they are thinking this whole thing will work out in a fashion that's no too similar with history maybe it will be completely different. maybe it will be a fraction of the globe that centers around u.s. trade we are tearing apart a lot of the things that have become normal operating procedure whether it is trade or foreign policy it doesn't mean we are fnot goin to go through it >> do you think they have justify bli -- >> it is a terrible indicator.
3:12 pm
if you look at it it's a good indicator of where they are going. if you look at evaluations and immerging markets those markets are trading about half the evaluation levels as u.s. markets. we would anticipate -- >> is it safe now? >> no one knows what would happen if you look at what's going on they do look like they are oversold you look at the relative evaluation and currency and performance they are performing relatively well. under the headlines about what's going on those companies are still making money you're not actually seeing the rise >> well, we like the retail
3:13 pm
sector, the middle and higher end consumer, names like pool that makes pool equipment they had a tremendous year because people are putting more pools in they have money to spend jet blue, people are traveling airline stocks, you know, i agree there are low evaluations in other international markets but that can remain the way it is for several years actually. i would prefer to put my money here domestically. >> okay. thank you all very much. rmg up next die hard apple fans lining up early. were they there to buy the newest iphones or snap a selfie with tim cook? we'll head to the store to find out. and sending investors on a wild ride this week.

3:19 pm
fast it's pricey but worth it. >> so here are the new phones, guys this is the iphone xs. this will start at $99 then you the iphone xs max it will start at 1,099 both are running the faster processer, improved camera technology and also stronger battery life in addition to the phones you also have the watch available today. this can tell whether you took a hard fall. it will be able to administer an ecg. this will start at $399. back to you. >> as you said some improvements on the cameras i guess since some of the reviews it's more playing catch up with a few of the other high
3:20 pm
end phones as opposed to being the stand out best camera feature on the marketplace >> yeah. if i'm not a reviewer i would get a quick e-mail remiennding e i'm a reporter i ask everybody to go to cnbc.com todd at least does this for us he said the xs, he called it very good in his words he called it better than the galaxy so maybe different opinions there. am would say they put a lot of time in the camera technology. it is certainly a battleground among the different smart phone makers now >> how much are the lines still an indicator the analysts would go out and count exactly how many people were in line to gauge the demand and how behind apple will be on shipping the new phones. with onlinenow and all of the
3:21 pm
new phone plans, is that still a real indication of demand? >> yeah. it is interesting. i think you're absolutely right. financial analysts used to study the lines so differently they would compare lines from one cycle to the next. i think you're absolutely right. they pro order the iphones so much more online that's the trend i don't think you can really look to those lines anymore as any kind of barometer. >> someone has to wake up at 3:00 in the morning when they head online to order the iphone. >> they do that on behalf of you though >> on behalf of themselves >> thank you less than 40 minutes to go, dow is rallying up 75 points it is just up .3, not even a

>> great looking live shot >> outstanding >> thank you investors in those companies sarah and lauren so let's pick up where kate left off in this country where cannabis is still recreation gnat pot it is against the law. what do you tell them? cbd is legal, right? >> it is one of those big gray areas right now
3:36 pm
it came out saying they believe that cbd is still illegal because it is a substance. >> what's your take particularly on that banking point of view and the difference wean the canadian rules and u.s.rules.
3:37 pm
>> so certainly it is a safer investment as earlier stated because it is federally legal there where as here in the u.s. since cannabis despite state by state legalization is still federally illegal the sec actually came out with guidance kind of reminding investors of the fact that cannabis is federally illegal and that investors, you know, these companies could face federal prosecution for that so i think certainly a safer investment right now is in these cannabis markets >> when you look at the sort of run up we have seen in the stock prices or just generally in the interest in the sector do you feel like it's fully taking into account the risks in this area >> the evaluations are extremely high right now
3:38 pm
there is still a lot of speculation. it is a new market supply and demand haven't stabilized demand is forecasted to continue increasing we don't know if legal supply will be able to keep up. there's a lot of contingencies. >> what should we be watching for to that regard >> sure. at the beginning of this year we -- i really thought and i think a lot of people were really worried because jeff sessions had rekrended the memo which was stating that the federal government would have a policy of noninterference with states that had legal azed it certainly made us nervous
3:39 pm

you're watching cnbc first in business news. dow is up about 80 points. 9 minutes to go before the 9 minutes to go before the close.(danny dichter) in 1989, a new wireless technology was being tested for the first time ever. it allowed more users to connect at the same time while on the move. other wireless carriers considered the tech too expensive, but we saw it as the birth of reliability and the backbone of a company we all know as verizon. so we were the first to commit to the cdma system and the first to build our entire network around it. today, once again, we're transforming reliability as we know it, building america's first and only 5g ultra wideband network-- with unprecedented capacity, enabling faster speeds and the lowest latency anyone has ever experienced on a wireless network. which is crucial, because we'll be relying on it more than ever. (man) it's really quite impressive,

3:56 pm
if we look at all four we see the s&p is just below the flat line it is down one basis point get itself back in for another all time high. this is down half a percent today. this is up over 1% financials materials nothing to pronounced you can see the sectors for the week as a whole. you can see the financials performed pretty strongly for this week. they are up nicely 2% or so. energy for the week is doing
3:57 pm
very well. hitting another all time high today. pfizer is hitting new highs. the flip side of that is how we see a built of rotation away from what may have been the favorites. the dow is down from the all time highs at the end ofaugust i have a bunch going on. i'm doing what i need to do.
3:58 pm
the fact that it will go smoothly there will be big volumes on the bell as a result of expiration and none of it is going to determine prices. it will be big involve yuchlt that -- volume you can hear them gearing up for what will be large trades on the bell >> so another record close on the dow. s a s&p not quite in that territory. >> let's bring it back to the story of the week. rates have been a good factor. >> and banks have taken off. they have been laggered far whilement th while. it is one of the areas that will not be impacted by tariffs
3:59 pm
>> yes a lot of it might be near term but it is likely going to be a big overhang during earnings from the retail group and from a lot of tech manufacturers, chip makers >> let's bring out the dollar. we have that week to date. we'll see the dollar is down the dollar is higher today and a lot of that is because of the pounds weakness we'll really see a strong dollar for that it has been part of the risk >> it has but i'm wondering what your thoughts are on this brexit impasse. we have been to this brink before >> we have the time is stronger now
4:00 pm

4:02 pm
talk about the record market mike, evan in the s&p it was the biggest and the biggest lagger was -- caterpillar being the biggest winner is a shock. financials came back it was a pretty strong week. >>absolutely it almost felt as if the market was a little bit lopsided heading into the end of september. that to me is how it felt today. really the market holding its giens and stood in place in terms of broad market.
4:03 pm
>> what was different this week is that the rest of the world joined the party chinese stocks haven't had their best week in several years european stocks -- >> so dismissive >> just the pound and some of the brexit noise those markets have done terribly we are talking down cig any further -- significantly i think the big question for most investors is when you reach record highs do you put money to work or do you kind of stand pat with where you are
4:04 pm
someone that is 50% inequities i don't see a compelling reason to put money to work at these evaluation levels. for me it's low. i effectively call that cash you know, the real issue, most people would have 30% in bonds somebody my age 25 to 40% in bonds. i have hated bonds the last few years. basically bonds this year have been a poor performer. >> if you look at the market action this week the record highs parade and the dow and the fact that the global stocks joined the rally, you might have thought there was some big breakthrough on the trade war. >> right >> but there wasn't. >> there really wasn't it was more than we got kind of
4:05 pm
a formal announcement the market uses up the worry once it has been around a long time. everybody that was inclined to think it was going to be a big scary event was probably already very defensive because we have been talking it it for six months >> it is 100% true you can use me as a good example of that. i thought they kind of pulled a fast one which i thought was very effective by only making it a 10% tariff as opposed to 25% tariff it was kind of less than people expected >> i think it's a retro specificive for why the markets did okay >> they said if it's 10 we buy them >> i think look, look, nobody said we'll ever have to worry about this stuff again especially if the market keeps
4:06 pm
going up all of a sudden a trade line could be the perfect excuse to head back. >> do we have a lot of momentum. it is not for the others today >> not for the others. yesterday the rally was better looking. i think it's not so much a lot of momentum but the market is doing enough to keep the benefit of the doubt at the end of the year you seen more stocks go up than down right now i don't think there's anything to be alarmed about the volatility pretty close to 11 is kind of telling you there's nothing really that's bothering the market too much. it could be bad if it gets too extreme. i look at the credit markets, they have strengthened in the last couple of months. >> so rising bond yoors,
4:07 pm
basically if you get a so year close he basically if you get a few closes over 325 that's bad >> it has been kwa yet >> let talk at shares of mcdonald's today hiking the dif dent up from $1.01 per share. >> when you go home this weekend you start using that, mickey d's. >> i say water with a soft tea i say sucker my brother looks at me in disgust. where ever i am i lose i can't win. that's the 42nd year in a row
4:08 pm
that mickey d's -- >> the pr person is having a nervous break down >> increased shares are down it means they can keep hiking year after year. >> they got a little bit of a help this year you have more cash earnings because of a tax cut it's the way mcdonald's sort of deals. a pretty good increase it has to be there a yield has to be part of investment case for mcdonald's >> and especially nowme they are down 4% this year >> it's not a stock far booming domestic economy it is almost a staples type player out there it's not as if you have lots of extra money in your pocket you spend a lot more >> to that point mcdonald's down
4:09 pm
4% >> no. the weird thing is you to look you to start looking at companies and their dividend yield versus bonds which have really changed quite a bit which is gone way up this year as in years in past it was like that's crushing whatever i'm getting in cash. now days the bond market actually provides some competition with yields. >> sure although the bond coupon is not going to go up 15%. >> you don't know. >> the coupon is not going >> you don't know. >> new data showing $13.9 billion into equity funds this week. you're not one piling into
4:10 pm
equities >> and i hated bonds more than i hated exwithty you have such a flat yield curve. the u.s. total bond market is down around 2% year to date. if you bought the basket including government securities you're down 2% of your money your you're down about 6% your for most people in the 35 years of the great pres are used to making involve lid returns this is a bit of a wake-up call >> we have heard surveys, these types that suggest people aren't as bullish as they were. >> no. i don't think there's a lot of fear
4:11 pm
i don't think there's a lot of anxiety. >> i think there's amateur traders out there and having obscure names like these it sort of tells you there's a desire for some kind of a quick play i think you can also turn it is other way and say nobody wants to put the money in the market
4:12 pm
and assume it will do well for them it seems to me it kind of burned out in a relatively quick time frame given that >> yeah. and maybe not instead of 900 stick around you stick with me you'll learn mickey d's, girl scout cookies >> i don't think i have any choice >> one of these pictures, you're the luckiest guy it was taken with iphone xs max. >> look at those cheekbones. >> can you tell which is which we'll tell you whether it is worth the upgrade price. >> different phones. cannabis talks have been flying high recently they are sending out potentially troubling smoke signals.
4:13 pm
details on that coming up. we heard from you on twitter. that's why we are playing that >> did you flow this one >> no. >> it is named after the song. >> of course it is >> it was a very famous song she may not have been born when it came out. >> it was a famous song. >> i believe this song existed we have to go. are back in a coupleover minutes. couple of minutes. every day. i think there are some ways to help keep you on track. and closer to home. i'm all ears. how did edward jones grow to a trillion dollars in assets under care? thanks. by thinking about your goals as much as you do.
