exchange" begins right now ♪ ♪ the boys are back in town ♪ the boys are back in town ♪ i said the boys are back in town ♪ all right. good morning, good afternoon, good evening welcome from wherever in the world you may be watching i'm brian sullivan it is good to be back. by the way, happy new year i've been gone a week. here are how the markets look coming off friday's nearly 800 plus surge for stocks. it's a new look for the week futures are down about 30 points again, wildly subject to swings here in the next couple of hours ahead of it very thinly traded at this hour, but this was a big day on friday with that 750 plus point gain for the dow jones industrial average the bond market reacting on friday as well you had that jobs number everybody said listen, the jobs number was nice but came down to j. powell the fed chairman being dubbish on the ten year note you know who likes that realtors because that means that mortgage
5:02 am
rates are going to come down housing showing signs of weakness lately. this move down possibly good for housing, mortgage rates and borrowers. outside of all these marks let's go worldwide and japan following our big rally with a good rally of their own the nikkei 225 posting one of its biggest gains in months up 2.4% that market has been rocked in the last 12 months so a decent beginning or at least couple days to the beginning of their year as well 2.5 points, all green on the screen south korea up 1.4%. now you know how much oil matters for the markets. oil is up again this morning bitcoin back below 4,000 as well comex gold and the euro moving as well. in case you forgot, wall street coming off a megarally on friday the dow jones industrial average soaring nearly 750 points for a more than 3% gain. wow. now much of that fueled by bullish comments from the fed
5:03 am
chair jay powell as always, jim cramer did a breakdown of what powell's comments meant with market. >> the economy gets hot, we generally deserve more rate hikes. i ain't no negative rate hike guy. i just want to be in synch with the economy. if it gets cooler, fed holds off. you know what that's called? rationality. and i applaud rationality. i'm glad powell is invoking it something happens all too often infrequently in washington, three cheers for powell. >> three cheers for powell let's bring in chief market strategist, happy new year. >> happy new year, my friend. >> would you give jay powell three cheers you like that pullback >> i was cheering for that for quite a while. we've had discussions for that and stated it's not crazy to have a pause that reflects after a year of steady hikes and the
5:04 am
market getting hit pretty hard and a lot of other things out there, yeah, i'm cheering. >> it was interesting because we cheered the job gain i don't want to look backwards but we cheered the job gain on friday but doesn't that put the fed back into play that's what i didn't understand. i wasn't totally in the market i was on vacation mode but i didn't fully get the market rally on friday >> i think it was more powell than the jobs. and some of the underlying jobs numbers the wage increases a tnd fact that a lot of people were looking for work and you can see that in the unemployment number ticked up a couple of tenths, but -- >> because more people are looking for jobs which is positive in a weird way. >> it's not a weird way. it's positive. little bit of pressure on the jobs number. but it's all about powell. the fed has been the biggest risk to the economy for months now. >> you have highlighted, jeff, as well or better than anybody about the seasonality of the market, all these historical stats which is what you do best
5:05 am
about how we're in the midyear of a cycle the third quarter, this and that. >> santa claus. >> whatever you want to call it and it hasn't worked out yet do you think that we're maybe just lagging >> i think we did lag. i think the tax cuts pushed the usual midterm correction later in the year. we saw it come in december usually we see bottoms in october and early summer if we hadn't had a correction, that would be make the third year of the cycle, the preelection year 2019 gains little tougher in that year. i think that helps santa came through the last five days of the year, first two of the new year there were some rough days in there, but overall, the market was up a little bit. percent and change so, you know, it's starting in the positive but we're taking our time we have the first five days coming up, the whole month of january. we need to get the shutdown cleaned up thinking about the numbers that that wall they're disputing, $5.6 billion is -- >> they're calling it a barrier.
5:06 am
you bring up a good point -- >> such a small number compared to the federal budget. >> it's symbolic from a number perspective, about half of one day's operating revenue or expenses for the u.s. government, but it is more symbolic, i think. symbolic of the fight, the government shutdown now entering its third week at what point does it matter for the macro markets? matters for a lot of government workers, when does it matter for the market >> i think it matters. it's a black eye for the president and democrats to keep this closed down garbage is piling up at the national parks never like to hear that. big fan of the national parks. but it's taking its toll right now around needs to get fixed. and china is starting to come to the table. that's been going on for a while. we need more positive results there, more market gains >> but you remain reasonably optimistic in the short-term >> you know, we look at things
5:07 am
worst based and best case. if they don't get their act together, we could go down further. >> the president must know this, though, he's a stock market president. >> of course he is >> he references it constantly. >> he probably has stock trader's almanac in the white house. >> if he doesn't, you should send him one. >> there you go. >> jeff, always a pleasure. >> thank you very much. happening right now, high level trade talks under way in beijing between u.s. and chinese representatives. let's get now to nbc's janis mackey frayer with more. >> reporter: brian, both sides were optimistic heading into these talks but there are major differences that need to be resolved the american delegation is led by jeffrey garish joined by officials from the agriculture and energy departments politically important industries being targeted by chee these tariffs as well as officials from commerce treasury and the state department now, it's unlikely that they're
5:08 am
going to strike a deal by the first of march, which is the deadline that's been set, but the sense is that beijing's goal is to show enough progress or enough compromise to persuade president trump to extend the deadline there are already tariffs on about $250 billion worth of chinese goods than the threat of more duties to come. and there's little doubt that a trade war could have a punishing effect on the economy here there are already signs of it slowing down factory activity at its lowest point in three years as are profits at some of the big industrial firms according to official data. we're also seeing signs of a slowdown in consumer spending. so the sense is that beijing wants to come to the table to show that it's willing to compromise on some of the issues the problem, of course, is that trust runs very deep, especially since the arrest of the huawei executive last month so we're likely to see both sides saying they're having constructive talks, but it could
5:09 am
still be a long way off from anything concrete. brian? >> janis mackey frayer, nbc news in beijing thank you very much. let's now get analysis and insight from john ratledge, spent a lot of time in china john, great to see you on "worldwide exchange" thanks for joining us. >> good morning, brian. >> good to see you from a macro perspective, do you remain optimistic that something concrete and positive for both sides will come out of these trade talks? >> you know, maybe for the first time i kind of like what they're doing this time. they're spending the worker bees over to get to know each other and work in the weeds before the big guys get together and say anything outloud that's the right way to do trade policy it's almost the right way. the truth is these guys shouldn't have been on camera either but they're learning and maybe when we get to dabos in a few weeks we'll have
5:10 am
president trump and my old friend shake hands on something. i don't think there will be a material difference in the way trade works, but there may be a material difference in how the governments talk about trade and try and restrict trade. >> how would you define, john, a china win in these talks what do they want? >> well, chinese economy is definitely slowing it's slowing partly because it's big now and can't grow 6% forever. it's also slowing because manufacturers are moving out of southern china into places like vietnam and so that's continuing trade hurts it as well not the exports so much because over the last year the dollar is up and rnb is down enough to really offset most of the cost impact of the tariffs on chinese goods. but there are definitely supply chain issues supply chains here have shortened and orders have shrunk going into china
5:11 am
they would like to see something happen what would be a win if they can get by saying we'll buy a ton more of soy beans or steel or whatever and let more banks come in and approve the applications that are on the table from guys like jp morgan, that would be a good pr win for them because it doesn't mean they would be doing a lot different than they're already doing. they have legislation on intellectual property that's moving through their own legislature, but of course china is more of a rule of man place than a rule of law any way and it's the enforcement that really matters. so i think that you're going to see some headway made on certain of these product-related issues. >> you know, i want to focus on apple, but i want to focus, john, on how it reflects in the bigger picture because when the apple news came out, everybody focussed on china, but then i tweeted out a link to an article just nine months ago how apple had record sales in china. we went from record sales less than a year ago to this. and it made me think, how much
5:12 am
of this does the chinese consumers are proud people, how much of this is sort of the i don't know, the middle -- i don't know how to say it nicely, the middle finger, if you will, to apple from chinese consumers vis-a-vis the u.s. government, they're not mad at apple they're mad at the u.s. government and going to take it out on the biggest u.s. company >> well, brian, like everything, there are several reasons why apple is having issues there let's not forget that in cook's letter he not only announced they were lowering their projected revenues but they were also announcing record profits at the same time, so apple is not disappear from the face of the earth here the high end iphones have not been selling he talked about foot traffic being down in their stores some of it as i heard tonight from a friend of mine in shanghai is that apple's products haven't really singed anybody recently with any great new tricks they can do apple is very high priced competitor
5:13 am
you know, if our gdps are rough lid the same size and they have four times more people that means incomes are one quarter there what they are here and iphone is very expensive. >> yeah. the average income of a chinese consumer is 7,000 u.s. dollars per year across the entire spectrum, you're asking people to buy a phone or device that is effectively one seventh of their annual income. we get that. you don't think, john, there is an element you'll get canada to arrest one of our leading executives, we're going to take it out on the biggest u.s. company by not buying their product. is there any element of that at all, john? >> absolutely. i haven't seen any explicit requests to do that but i also know that that's happened before in the past, in particular around japanese products we saw. yeah, sure, buying american now is not as popular as it once was. but i think that the decline in the stock market, 25% shanghai
5:14 am
and 33% and thelack of product innovation in the high prices in china really just took a toll on apple's sales. but if you do the math, include their cash and their dividend, apple still selling for something like seven times cash flow so, it's still one of the greatest companies in the world. >> john rutledge, i know it's either really early or really late there outside of los angeles, we do appreciate you joining us thank you for doing that for us. >> my pleasure, brian. take care. wee are getting started here on a monday "worldwide exchange." up next, more on apple's big china problem. we'll go deeper and get an analyst take on that two big winners at the golden globes that may also be good for investors in the stock market later on, more on the ground breaking that tesla just made in china. could tesla be the answer to the trade fight? details when "worldwide

5:17 am
good monday morning. it's 5:17, here in the east coast. netflix and amazon locking up some big wins at last night's golden globes. let's get the recap with a man like me who didn't watch them. frank holland with the details. >> we get up early so i missed it we have the highlights and the streaming services making a statement at the golden globes last night. netflix and amazon bringing home six awards combined however the
5:18 am
major broadcast networks were shutout in the tv category chuck lori won for best comedy or musical series for the netflix show the kaminsky method he gave a lot of praise to the streaming giant. >> netflix, netflix, netflix netflix, netflix, netflix. >> did he mention netflix? the streaming giant winning two golden globes in the film category for roma and three in tv amazon taking home an award for the best actress in the comedy for the "marvelous mrs. maisel." they won for bohemian rhapsody that film received some mixed reviews but topped 600 million at the global box office and they won four awards total, three for green book and another for first man. comic book movies including
5:19 am
black panther only one winner last night the animated spider man into the spider verse i heard really good things about that that was produced by columbia and marvel studios a lot of success on those streaming sites. >> now we want to see some of these shows. we'll see you in trending in a few minutes. speaking of amazon, we have a big upgrade, pivotal research initiativing coverage buy rating $1920 target brian weeser, the analyst, he has changed firms. brian initiating coverage, despite amazon's large size it has room to grow we'll get more on this initiation from pivotal research on amazon i'm sure throughout the day here on cnbc. staying on the topic of media and technology, we're watching shares of apple today the stocks still down about 6% over the last week the well off its lows companying after the company disappointed
5:20 am
investors be its revenue forecast last week joining us now is ceo of abr investment strategy. brad, i don't know -- thank you for joining us i don't know if you had a chance to listen in on our conversation a few minutes ago with john rutledge about apple and about china. we were wondering if you think there's a pushback by consumers in china not because the slowing economy but because they're punishing the united states and want to do that through our largest company. do you think there's anything to that >> i wholeheartedly agree with that i do think there's some type of boycott happening in china among or about u.s. products i think apple certainly at a disadvantage here. i think there's -- given the u.s. trade war with china, there's certainly this animosity, this bad taste in the mouth. i think there's a tremendous amount of propaganda also coming from the chinese economy to not buy u.s. products. so, i absolutely agree with that comment. i think that is certainly part
5:21 am
of the reason for the miss and i don't think this really subsides any time here in the near term. >> even if we get a deal on paper, everybody shakes hands, there's a photo opportunity, is that going to change things for apple? >> brian, such a good question but first realistically do you think something is actually going to happen? personally we don't. we don't think something is going to happen here in the near term so if you have the belief that something will happen, maybe you get some short-term relief from a stock perspective for apple but for the economy, chinese consumers right now do not want to buy u.s. products because of all this bad hype coming from the chinese economy and chinese government i don't see that changing any time soon. unfortunately i think apple is really disadvantaged here from that perspective if i look at 2019, people were disappointed this year with iphones. looking at next year, there's really no exciting new specks that are coming from the iphone in 2019.
5:22 am
so, there's an under whelming 2019 three version launch. i'm really hard pressed to see anything exciting for 2019 iphones. >> you know, we just talked about the initiation from pivotal research on amazon, $1920 price target there from brian weezer, about 23% upside to the current price i know you're bullish on amazon. i assume you agree with that call, brad. >> yeah. if you look at the long-term growth within technology on a global basis, amazon is dominating if you look at their different business lines, you have marketplace, aws, multiple businesses that they're absolutely crushing it so i actually think in 24 to 48 month time frame the stock is significantly higher than that any weakness there is a buying opportunity. some point in the future, maybe, three, four, five years out you see the company getting broken out because of how big it will get. >> wow, amazon could get possibly broken up there early 2019 prediction from

5:27 am
pressing the administration to justify the 5.6 billion the president is asking for as he threatens to declare a national emergency to pay for the wall. the white house insists he is compromising, agreeing to steel instead of concrete. >> a concrete barrier is not going to automatically stop people from coming. >> we need to look at more border patrol agents, technology and other means as well. >> reporter: democrats say they're hearing no compromise on the cost. >> in a pound the table way unless i get it my way, i'm going to hurt all these people that is not the way to go. >> reporter: if this shutdown continues, the irs may be forced to delay tax refunds >> think about the hundreds of thousands of people who will be entitled to income tax refund checks who won't receive them. >> reporter: moving this debate from national parks to the wallets of millions of americans. now if the president declares a national emergency that could shift this whole thing from the white house to the courts, it will likely spark some sort of

5:36 am
activity. >> do you think j. powell has sort of gotten the message not from the president but from the markets? >> all he has to do is watch the markets. when you look at the forward looking expectations going out a year it looks like the market is pricing in decrease of interest rates. >> now, i know that you've been a little more concerned about the economy than some. >> absolutely. >> and you've been right but you also believe that we still could have positive stock market returns this year. >> yeah. >> square those two. >> the best way to go about investing as a long-term investors to look at long-term forecasts of returns and we think over the next three to five years you can get a positive return on the s&p roughly about 5 or 6% above the rate of inflation. now, for this year, we think there is going to continue to be an economic drag here in the united states as well as global growth drag, but you could also have positive return you see the federal reserve is going to perhaps pivot as you saw last trading session as well as you could also perhaps get just a moderation of economic
5:37 am
activity here, which, of course, could support the market. >> 5 to 6% possible returns. does that include dividends? >> that does include dividends. >> that's not a whole lot of real gain. roughly 3% from the dividend yield, you're looking at maybe couple percent actual return. >> i've been explaining to people you have to be more moderate with your investment ideas here you have to be much more cautious you have to move up your quality spectrum and have to expect that you're going to have a lot more volatility within this system over the course of the next three weeks. >> i don't mean this as an insult, a lot of people were looking very smart the last seven or eight years, you can throw a dart, buy an etf, make money and feel good about yourself which is nice. there's nothing wrong with that. but do you have to go back to picking stocks now >> i think that you should at least look to be more conservative you can get a layer of good companies that seems of opportunities where you can make tremendous opportunities look at the consumer staple

side, look at health care, for example. to go back on why it was so easy to make money, when the fed had rates well below the rate of inflation for a decade, free money, multiples expand and whatnot. as you're expanding the balance sheet, it's pure -- >> we had low rates and expanded balance sheet. >> injection of adrenaline into the system. >> low rates, expanding balance sheet now we have higher rates and contracting. everything we had good for eight years is now reversed. >> it dampens the market multiple within the market. >> how much is the question? >> by how much market, forward looking 14, 15 multiple you could see 13 or 12 p.e. multiples. as you see global growth decelerate, you have to be more cautious what we did over the course of the last couple trading sessions i should say couple of weeks we extended our duration within our bond portfolio we started buying 20 or 30 year

5:54 am
and freddie mac have been under the boot of obama administration by their appointees or under the administration as a result, that stock is down to $1 each really the main reason behind that is because through conservatorship that for whatever reason they have ignored basically all the domestic and international standards around bankruptcies and conservatorship and gutted these companies. as a result, the stocks have faltered the opportunity right now is that the trump administration has indicated, says look, we have to get these guys out of conservatorship. there has to be a path to build capital and get them out. >> connect the dots. they're so massively important for housing market people in des moines, iowa, dallas, denver, wherever you are don't realize maybe how important fannie and freddi mean for them to get a mortgage how does this change matter, if at all, for just the average sort of american to be able to get a mortage.

5:56 am
they were supposed to be doing as a result, you're seeing that credit has tightened and as a result of that then there's fewer people able to buy a house. >> like everything else, they became politicized tim rood, it's a pleasure. thanks for seeing yo happy new year. first full week of trading stocks rbi is going trend spotting. seven stocks in the s&p 500 up more than 10%. one is up because it got bought. we'll toss that out as a special situation. six major stocks posted double digit returns this year. dish net, incyte and noble energy the first week represents how the whole year will go, bio tech, aluminum oil and video platforms will be hot in 2019. oh, and argentina is the single best performing stock market this year so certainly don't cry for them either way, a trendless but interesting start to the year. there's your monday rbi.
