5:02 am
>> usmca new deal, new name. it sets up trade parameters. here are the highlights as we know them. we got the text a few minutes ago. it covers the environment, intellectual property rights the big highlights are changes when it comes to dairy canada will ease dairy protections and open up market for the united states in a way that the trump administration says is better than the tpp. it protects canada from auto tariffs on our site, something they were concerned about although senior administration officials are very quick to point out that steel and aluminum tariffs are a different thing on a different tract being dealt with by the commerce department not part of this deal getting reaction this morning. a joint statement from the u.s. trade representative saying that this is going to be good for workers on both sides. congress just getting the text today. they'll start picking it apart

5:04 am
turning a profit as a tesla watcher and shareholder, what do you make of this deal? >> yeah, i think investors will like it. obviously a lot of people wanted musk to be removed as chairman over all it needs to be seen there is a lot of uncertainty. overall the settlement happened quickly. i think investors will like that this took place quickly. >> are you shocked, brad the news came out friday over weekend we gave news of the settlement thinking how in the world this is possible >> yeah, brian, there was certainly chatter that elon stepped out of a potential deal with the sec last week this happened rather quickly since it moved quickly, this looks more positive.
5:05 am
most people will be shocked how this took place. >> some people will be disappointed that he's ceo he has more control than others may want in terms of for the company and for the leader, this is the best case for him from an investor's standpoint, you got that, that will take place. the only negative people may look at is that he was not taken that more negative things to have happened to him some of us may have wanted to see that. >> are you happy that he is still ceo? >> you know what, i think the leader -- he's a visionary we can all disagree on some of the tactics that he does, but he's certainly a visionary he's done quite well with many different ideas. i think it's good that he's still the ceo. i think it's very good there
5:06 am
will be an independent chairman. now let's see if they can execute model 3s first and foremost what's on people's minds and see if we can continue to get that going. >> i'm wondering, brad, down the road how the chairman and the now ceo alone are going to get along, but for now it's good news brad, we appreciate your time early this monday morning. thank you. >> thank you all right. switching back now to the broader markets and your money fourth quarter is underway in europe as it is here that's a vagary of the calendar. it's october 1st pretty much everywhere germany, look at that. all the markets are riding high as well. the italian market is your big winner in morning up 1.5%. stock futures on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen or if you're in the car i'll tell you, up 204 a lot of good news a lot of green on the screen today. however, going forward we need you to keep your eye on one
5:07 am
thing and that is what is happening in the european bond market because it's not a greece like situation yet but everybody's eyes have been on italy. they passed their budget last week the market did not like it probably reacting positively to the trade news here. here's what i want you to watch. these are the yields on the ten-year notes germany, look at that, probably the most stable economy in europe a ten-year bond, under 1/2 of 1% france is up .8. spain, 1.5%. look at this jump, italy 3.2%. we put greece in there as a reference point. what you need to watch is italy versus the rest of continental europe watch that bond yield. if it keeps going up the market is saying italy and its budget and its constant political problems are something to watch. a lot of good news today let's bring in the ceo of
5:08 am
irvings investment management. great to have you on today we have a new nafta deal, bond yield, european market soaring what is the main thing for you and your team to watch right now for your clients >> first off, thank you very much for having me good morning to all the watchers there. the nafta is a deal. it's sending a signal that the weight of the united states is pursuing its trading tactics, if you like, or the negotiation tactics work it's a high risk structure, but it does work we've seen this with president trump and nafta and why is that important? there are tensions between the united states and china and this may be an indicator that, in fact, it's a new tactic that the united states starts employing which is that it takes it to the wire and reaches a deal.
5:09 am
that is on the general wire. you mentioned italy. that's worth coming back to. the difference is in the united states the popularism is about cutting tax and a strong economy and you have a positive background in italy you have a populist government about spending money. what we saw last week is this government with a new budget saying they're going to take the deficit to 2.4% of gdp it's still under 3% but it's a lot more than the 2% people are watching to see what are they going to do next because they cannot deliver on all of their promises. to promise to cut tax is easier than to promise to actually raise tax and pay for more stuff, particularly if we have a deficit city situation and if
5:10 am
the economy is not booming in the same way it is advance being in the united states nonetheless, the overall picture is, look, what's come out of the nafta deal or whatever it is called now is not very good news but also for trading in general. that's very good news. >> i'm going to call it the umc. i like the acronym very easy to say a lot of good news out there today. italy's problems are not going away will this become a greece like situation which dragged on for multiple years >> this could be again, you -- the problem with italy's situation is, look, had they gone over 3%, near 3% of deficit then you have a problem right here, right now. what they've done is gone up 2.4% which is a deficit in spending which is more than what the market expects what does that mean?
5:11 am
it means they haven't broken the rules but they've gone close to the wire the difference between europe and the united states is twofold. number one, we don't have the same degree of growth. earnings are turning down with companies and that bodes bad for the economy and you don't have inflation. on two measures of growth you're not seeing the positive news that therefore means the 2.4% budget deficit is still within the 3% pound that is accept aabe to the european union. that's why you've seen it drop to 3.2%. is it a greece no, it's not a greece. it's not that bad. is it going to drag on for some time yes. and we've got to wait and see how it regresses from here this is just the beginning
5:12 am
the reality is they can't tlifr on all of it -- >> does it make the european stock market unattractive relative to the united states? >> so i think relative to the united states, the united states stocks have been unattractive for some time. i've been seeing that for a while. i think what makes it slightly less attractive is not just italy per se but the fact that earnings are not better than expected, in fact, they're disappointing and economic growth is slower than expected look, don't under estimate the fact that the u.s. economy is much stronger and that in the world stage makes it a more attractive place to be. >> saker out of london, a real pleasure to have you on this side of the pond on tv anyway. thank you very much. all right. let's get a check on the stocks that need to be on your radar this morning
5:13 am
jackie deangeles joining us bright -- not really bright but just early on this monday morning, jackie. what are you looking at? >> good morning to you, brian. the top three stock stories to watch. husky energy has made a bid to buy meg energy for $2.6 million. it's a 37% premium to friday's closing price in toronto the combined company would have a total production of moore than 400,000 barrels of oil a day. meantime, oracle's top cloud executive is leaving the company less than a month after he took a leave of absence oracle znt give a reason his responsibilities are being reassigned. shares of ryanair is cutting the 3r06r9 forecast by 12% the company says the decline could be worse if recent strikes continue to hit traffic and bookings.

5:19 am
part of the problem is just the language a client was saying to me the other day an international investor says japan is the only place i have to bring a translator with me which has gone up more in earnings per share, japan or the u.s. japan has. the profitability has improved out of all comparison. you look at profitability for japan going up it will be 70% higher than any point over last 65 years the only reason the market is up is because the bank of japan is buying >> corporate and the japanese market by every single measure

is the cheapest developed stock market in the world but it is a market that has burned people many times over the last 20 or 25 years do you think people don't believe it because they've been hurt by it >> they think the market only moves because of the movement in the currency the correlation is there this market is about corporate profits. it's nothing to do with these big mac crow moves it's a country that's finally got its act together on profitability. >> do they why do you think that, nicolas why do you think this time they have a demographic crisis. women are barely in the work force. they're leaving half their

educated work force literally in the home do you think they're finally going to change? >> no. you have that absolutely the wrong way around the japanese country has too many people in it. >> i used to work for a japanese company. >> that makes the bubble in the u.s. look like -- well, so the point is they had a bubble in the late '80s. they diversified into other businesses to stick their excess citizens in. now they want to close them down because they have a worker shortage you got to a stage when 73% of the companies were making their money. we can't have that, we changed the tax system, everybody should pay something and the result of that is that you've driven out the zombies. that allows real companies to make real money.

face last week just $20 million against him. >> i joe jeff -- the great jeff sonnenfe sonnenfeld, when you say overly fair, that is jeff sonnenfeld speak for, wow, the sec rolled over and played dead. >> they capitulated. this is fraud. where's the punishment for fraud here this is pretty modest. they could have survived sure he's a genius it would have been generous of them to let him stay as a board member they could have let him have those back still brought in a new ceo it would have made a difference there are equally brilliant ceos who are geniuses >> i was going to say, that is a

5:36 am
you can replace these people you can find a key role for them, at least most of them. i'm not sure about papa john's looking at the turnover they've had there too is why is it you've lost the founders of what's app, instagram and the people are being discouraged from the key acquisitions, it was the people that made the difference why can bob iger buy the top leaders and hold on to them at pixar, marvell, lucas and keep creative people together here it's kind of the my way or the highway. when it comes to regulatory compliance, it's a huge issue. the electronic issues have been contained. they're following blindly and religiously. they need to put more pressure on him, wealthy. if you do that, you need to be accountable to them.

5:38 am
that doesn't make sense. you look at the work force, consumer base, demography with the country. the problem with regulating this, we pick gender doch so much for this. are we going to try to make it a municipal city you're putting people into context and off of demography. it's not that high 35%, nowhere is it parity of 60 perts percent. i don't love the way it's getting to them. i'm not sure this will hold up a constitutional test. it does seem questionable why we
