1:00 pm
great management team, they're going to turn pinnacle. >> fliuor. kelly evans and "the exchange" begins right now >> here's what's ahead from this hour, markets are rallying as the president made hi first comments from the shutdown deal. he says he's not happy we'll have more. from hike to patient to cut, will recent economic data include some really strong jobs reportwe're hovering near the
1:01 pm
session highs, up 1.3%, the nasdaq also unby a similar percentage if you take a look at one of the big trades in the commodity side of things you can see up 2% incrementally about a u.s./china trade deal, and of course a possible deal, those things are hard in play, remember, this has been a steep drop followed by a 250% in gain in crude prices since the lows in december the best performing stock, ke y kelly, is coty, the cosmetics maker has received a tenderer off from j.a.b. holdings to up their stake from already a 40%, to nearly a 60% stake. as you can see here, maybe we'll
1:02 pm
see if this one gets more scrutiny from shareholders back over to you. >> that's you, dominic welcome to "the exchange some other positive seema mody is down at the new york stock exchange, with a look at this rally. >> kelly, there are two deals, a deal to avert a shutdown and deal that puts an end to the u.s./china trade dispute we went back and looked at prior u.s./china dialogues to g-20 in december of 2018 to get a sense of how stocks trade before and after these meetings what we found is stocks tends to move higher when frayed talks commence more often than not, those
1:03 pm
fade -- whether it will lead to structural change. in the run-up to the high-level meetings, stocks are higher across the board, and china exposed names like caterpillar and deere are trading to the up site >> that's the focus, it's also about those trade talks with china. >> yeah, absolutely. especially a number of these multinationals, globally centric companies. many have referenced the trade dispute as a headwind. it could potentially have an impact on their bottom line? >> seema, thank you. let's get more on the shutdown now, in washington where the president just wrapped up a meeting with members of his cabinet and made headlines eamon has the latest. >> reporter: you're talking about that china deal. remember the deadline is march 1st, that's a self-imposed deadline by this administration,
1:04 pm
in which they say they'll raise tariffs in which they don't h e have. >> here's what he said. >> the 10% or 200 billion generally speak, i'm not inclined to do that. >> so, kellie, the president there signaling if they're close to a deal,on the cusp of a
1:05 pm
significant trade deal, which hasn't been done in previous administrations. >> eamon, we're being to talk more about this with ylan, but the president also didn't say he would veto the deal. >> reporter: i've been talking inside the west win with a senior administration official this administration telling me, look, nobody has seen this deal yet, sean hannity has seen the deal. >> yeah, market is still reading it positively. thank you, eamon. let's head over to capitol
1:06 pm
hill, ylan mui, where the focus on the president and his ability to get this across the finish line. >> reporter: thank you, kellie i think you're seeing leadership trying to sell the parameters to trump. and now they have agreed to $1.375 billion in fill barriers. that's not what the president had requested, but it's more than zero, which is what initially the democrats had offered. now they're backing away from the demand to cap the number of immigration detention beds for those who have been detained inside the u.s now there's an overall cap on the number of beds that will phase down over the coming years. you're also hearing from moderate senators like susan collins, who are calling on the president to make sure he signs the deal the question is, what is the next step? we're hoping to see some legislative text on wednesday.
1:07 pm
after that, both the house and senate will have to vote to pass it it's likely some of the procedural rules, at least in the house, will have to get waived in order to get this done there's time to get this done and agreed to. everyone just has to come together and make it happen. >> we also have big news this morning. senator rubio coming out basically against buybacks. >> reporter: that's right. senator rubio is taking on the messaging that democrats have used against corporate buybacks. he called them not a productive use of capital how he wants to do this is very different from the way the democrats are attacking buybacks he wants to essential turn share repurchases to be treated the same way as dividends. right now any -- are treated basically as capitals gains. in his proposal, he would treat them as dividends. instead, unclean if they would be tacked at the rate of un -- that's something to be
1:08 pm
determined down the road he does say that fundamentally he wants to eliminate the incentive for corporations to engage in this type of behavior, and that overall he wants to use any revenue from this shift to be used to fund full expensing, making that permanent, when they say is a big growth driver in the economy. >> thank you for the great reporting, ylan mui. can investors trust the hold, and what do they think about the proposal john, let's just start on the shutdown there's plenty of skepticism, but markets are looking positively at these talks. >> think the marks are correct you have a president at this moment trying to gauge how bad the reaction will be on the right. he's gotten some negative commentary from people like sean hannity and ann coulter, laura ingraham, but i think that
1:09 pm
having gotten a third-degree purpose for himself and his party, he does not want to go there again. i expect you'll see the president to accept this deal, and then as he signaled in that q&a with reporters a few minutes ago, he's going to try to scrounge for more money that he can try to repurpose but there's no question this is a backdown from the president. he's not -- he's getting some wall fencing, but it's the kind of fencing that had been built for years before he came into office he's not getting the concrete wall >> do you like it, mattie? >> i haven't seen it exactly yet. but which chamber goes first, and how high the margin is by which it happens
1:10 pm
now remember, too, we heard a lot from mick mulvaney, repurposing other monies to accomplish this building of the wall that i think will also be very important to watch it's been suggested that make the path forward was for the republicans and the senate, more the democrats in the house, what do you think about that? >> well, republicans in the senate, by striking this deal, richard shelby, and by mitch mcconnell saying he's going to put it on the floor and have the senate act on it, they're essential dollars a bit of independence from the president. you know, mitch mcconnell during the negotiations, that the president is going to sign he's not waiting now mitch mcconnell has been
1:11 pm
consistently against it. president trump will have to deal with the embarrassment, i think republicans are going forward, then as allyian right now. what about the politics of this? to piggyback on an op-ed and say i want to do something about this >> listen, you hear ylan talk about how rubio is adopting the democrats' talking points on this i think it's a foolhardy approach for any republican to take, one, because it goes back on the actual reality of the economics bev seen in play
1:12 pm
a we've seen wages increase for the first time at a pace we probably haven't seen in 14 years and those are accrues to workers at the lower end of the spectrum so for rubio to say they're taking more of the moral arguments, it just doesn't seen to be borne out by the actual economics. >> jon, it was interesting to me, because hi's not making any effort to tell the story, and some are saying there is a realignment happening in the gop, where they're moving against the kinds of things that mattie is describing, and it's odd. rube use in a way is kind of -- also pushed for the child tax credit, but maybe outflanking trump on the right what's your takeaway before we go >> i don't see in as a realignment.
1:13 pm
remember, this was rubio's identity when he ran for president in 2016. he said he was going to be the one who took care of republicans who lived paycheck to paycheck he was holding out at the end, but he was holding out for some more what you might call populist provisions in that bill he knows president trump will not be around forever, he's a young man, may want to run for president again, by he wants to cast himself as the person defending the interests of the average american more than the typical republican. the dow is up 340 points, so choosing to focus on the positives here thank you, both. before we head to break, as i mentioned, the dow is up 1.3%, about the same for the nasdaq
1:14 pm

welcome back stocks are gathering steam as investors have been pricing out the prospect of any fed rate hikes. in fact they're pricing in rate cuts let's bring in joel, and kenny polcari. both are cnbc contributors joe, let me start with you >> we've taken the hikes off but it's not fully there having said that, i would say the next move is likely a cut, and probably in early 2020.
1:18 pm
>> because there's a slowdown? or no inflation. >> we're past the peak in the growth rate, outshifting from 3-something to 2-manage. >> we did for a quarter. >> year on year growth last year i'm guessing we were over 3, but in 2019 we'll slow further, and inflation pressures are moderating vendor deliveries, prices paid, all the things in the industrial side are much weaker. >> so markets having don't quite nicely to start off this year. ar chairman powell signaled this was coming, took his foot off the meddle the jobs openings this morning and -- are we so sure that rate cuts are coming? >> i'm not sure about that i think they might do nothing, they may back off the whoa rate hike, by i think rates are so
1:19 pm
artificially low rates are still artificially low compared to what they are normally i don't see the country or the world, the glob economy goods into a crisis mode honestly, i think that sends a very different message to the visiting world, right? if they start cutting rates at this point, so i think the next move is nothing, and then beyond that, i think rates start to go up against i don't see a resays for us in 2019 i guess anything could happen, but i think stocks could do well in this environment rates are definitely low, rates are low relative to nominal
1:20 pm
growth, but if you take europe for example or even japan, you've had lo recession rates. germany close to a recession, technical recession. rates are low, but, look, rates that containing also matter. as you know, almost an eight-year high. >> what's funny you have these millennial group that are now in the business of buying houses. >> that think the rates are too high, and they're scratching my head g. oh, my god when i first bought my house, it was 15% and i thought i had a deal >> it's all relative but look at german bund yields, they're barely positive. much of the curve is still negative this is truly a new world post-'08 >> joe, the one scenario that people haven't seemed to be positioned for, growth continues, but inflation didn't
1:21 pm
come no, what if it's the expansion continues, there's no inflation, they don't have to raise rates then what? >> my guess is they could rate rates in 2020. in part it's become a long business cycle i would argue there's pent-up demand that typically categorizes a business cycle >> kenny, i was just about to say, this is basically the longest expansion, i think once it goes past september. >> but look, for eight years we had almost zero interest rates in this country. it's only been the last couple years we tried to normalize.
1:22 pm
>> maybe become a little more defensive, so you want to take names like consumer staples, some utilities, just in there a bit to help stabilize, right >> and a rate cut doesn't mean the end of the bull market that's what i think the fed will do in response to a fairly team -- >> thank you both. coming up, underarmour delivering better than expected earnings, but sales are still trailing the competition what will it take to change that if you need a home equity line of credit, there's now an app for that, how one statup is trying to disrupt the lending space. sometimes, they just drop in. cme group can help you navigate risks and capture opportunities.

1:44 pm
isn't just a passing issue, is it what's going on for the issues more broadly >> i think we have to point out the -- there's no question thatted bar is higher than ever now, because there's so much content available for streaming at home, including original movies on the likes of netflix remember those blockbuster numbers that they shared for "bird box" so i think the bar is higher but i think it's one of these things if a movie does not speak to the public as part of the water cooler conversation, people are willing to sit it out, because it is relatively expensive to go to the movies. >> believe me, i know. but also maybe the compelling content is elsewhere do the theaters have to bend here and say, maybe we're going to try to come up with other ways to get people excited about this dent, even if it means getting it streaming more
1:45 pm
quickly? then maybe you take the family i don't know >> reporter: well, the theater chains will push off on closing that window between when movies are distributed in theaters and when they're available for streaming at home. the theater chains want that window three months to protect the theatrical experience. having said that, i think we will see some of the studios, including warner and -- to release moves at home sooner we could see in as little as three weeks available for streaming at home. i think that's very important to note i do think, kelly, the big moves will still be big. "captain marvel," the "avengers" movies have potential to draw an audience across all four quadrants. i think where we'll see the industry suffer is with the smaller movies where people figure, i can't wait and watch it at home
