shanghai down more than 1% nikkei as well there on fear that is this u.s. dangerous. the risk, of course, is that of china retaliating. so far china has not decided to go down that route we could target companies like app willing and a lot of asian business leeches as this well. you can see behind me. pretty much trading in the red today, about 90% if you fear this is 600% only about one hour the breakdown at the relative mer former you can see the ftse 100

4:05 am
accusations that they have backtracked on earlier commitments. the chinese vice premier says inisn't. they increased the $2 h billion to do so >> has yet to start with any conditions. >> reporter: speculation is that china will announce retaliatory tariffs today. this after friday's trade talks ended in a stalemate, the u.s. wanting to get specific changes to chinese law through china's parliament beijing argues a high level state council decree is just as good larry dud low said that is not enough. >> one of the sticking points
4:06 am
right now is we would like to see these corrections in ab agreement which iscodified by l law, such ability. as the president said, things seem to be taking too long we can't accept any backtracking. >> china is pushing back communist party paper is running an editorial saying that china should not swallow bitter truth that harms the interests that honors the vice premiere. he told chinese media that china wanted to engage in talks that an agreement must address the country's core concerns, which is lifting all details but assuring he doesn't even have pm tv

4:08 am
i think that's a little bit of false hope i think this is going to take a while. china's in this to play for the long game. $500 billion worth of exports is not their end game what is their end game is by 2030 their consumer led gdp close to 124 they're really playing this as a long-taerm export the exports have dropped from 30% in 2006 down to be 20% ns. s >> the implication this is not a long play, we're talking about this as a political win for president trump. >> i think there's some of that at work. the analogy has been made. this is like two heavy weight prize fighters slugging it out somebody will be on the mat and

4:10 am
stronger stance on this negotiation. remember the stance was moving closer when they were really weak and asia was falling under pressure the u.s. has now rebounded on almost a complete v-shaped recovery 3.2% gdp growth. so i think the u.s. is thinking they have a bit of ammunition here. >> we're speaking to an analyst last near. so long as it's the ultimate goal of kpeepg things over more than what we had last year.
4:11 am
>> yes, i think chien is it mu -- put in boll stofr hoft dogs they zblus had their heating here, he think thamp -- it's up 51% of their net exports from the short term they've had a lot of stimulus. they're playing the long game of how they build that out and who they form trading partnerships with. >> you have a sense of your views. i want to ask you brass tacks, where do you see up side which sectors and which markets if there is a resolution to these trade talks? >> if there's a resolution i think you get a nice up side to the u.s. market.

4:17 am
country or group they said it was a, quote, dangerous endeavor u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo will skip a visit to moscow according to a state department official. he said the work this week was too much our colleague has a dabble what did mr. pompeo have to tell you? >> jomana, we talked about everything we also talked very much about china and its influence in the middle east.
4:18 am
as you say, the main focus was between what's happening between tehran and washington what we've seen and it's real, something current. things we're worried about today. we've done all of the flings wau wanted to make sure we had it. in the event they decided to come after it, anyplace in the u.s. , they respond. >> there are places i've lived in the last ten years. in terms of the yup tick there are fears in the military itself and the potential for miscalculations. how worried are you? >> we're not going to miss it.
4:19 am
our aim is a change in behavior to help the eye rairanian peoplt what they deserve. the president wanted to make sure that in the event something took place, we could respond in the appropriate way. as the secretary of state i wanted to make sure we had all the political diplomatic tools in the right place i wanted to make sure we provided the president with a background >> the secretary of state said not going to calculate according to the president, last week you'll remember he said, hey, i'm just waiting for that phone call i'm happy to talk to tehran. that reiterated from mr. pompeo saying we don't want a conflict with tehran.
4:20 am
buy don't want contact with russia mr. pompeo meeting with them he's taking time out to head to brussels this was about having time with the e3 also the fact that they have had a military buildup in the persian gulf and the repercussions of that. i did also ask the secretary about one name that came up quite often in our interview that was the name of his pret did he ses hor, if he should continue to have conversations with former colleagues across the way in tehran. listen in.
4:21 am
>> it's inappropriate. it's not consistent with what former secretary of states ought to be doing and i'll leave it at that suffice it to say, previous secretary of states opt to get off the stage. when the day is done, they ought to leave it. >> ouch. that was the secretary of state weig weighing in there. when i spoke with him he told me, you know, when we were negotiating, i saw john kerry more than i talked to my own wife it should be no surprise that those negotiations are alive and well mr. kerry has said things he will just wait out the trump administration you don't have to respond yet. the fear whether you are sitting
4:22 am
in the next bow tell severe and harsh administrations. how far is the president willing to go there. certainly mr. pompeo wasn't heard there. pretty sharp in his comments. >> you talk about geo politics and talking about the crisis of oil and energy conflicts one thing that is really interesting is since the u.s. put out the jtpoa, the price of oil is anything that's plotted it has gone back to places similar. me, too m.too what did they have to say about the markets? >> boy was he punchy sticking to that line. look at your charts. look at the stories you've been doing across the board on cnbc
4:23 am
at the end of the day they haven't moved and when we decided to pull out of the jtpoa when he went out of there threor four times i was looking at other parts of the conversation my question was at the end of the day, obviously the energy and independence is going to change the game in foreign policy it is changing it already. one of the questions that i often ask the leaders in the gulf is that, you know, given the fact that we've seen such fluctuation in u.s. policy towards the region in the last several years, now the trump administration as well, at what point do american voters kind of wake up and are they okay? essentially what we're doing is pro power.
4:24 am
>> in the near future. >> thank you for being with us the insights and the report from the secretary of stiet clinton thank you so much for being with us we heard from mike pompeo in that interview there that iran represents a threat to american interests. i wonder in your mind if that's a reflection of reality. >> iran is some threat it is in a confrontation with united states allies in the region it is also someone that's been assisting parties that have been fighting parties supported by the united states in countries like it probably was not a
4:25 am
french united states interest but the way this united states french rnl authorized and it's a disservice to the american people and to peets. >> i think it's beyond the level agreed upon in the jcpoa and are themselves credible? >> yes, they are, because they have the technical capability of doing that but they are subject to the world's most robust and effective verification system as confirmed time and again by the nuclear watchdog the national atomic energy agencies even if they were to increase levels of enrichment
4:26 am
it's quite possible that the international community would continue to have full visibility of what it was iran was doing. most of the restrictions on iran and the controls on what they can do and the ability of the international community to understand what iran is doing are due to remain intact if iran carries out those threats. now that's my guess. it's not certain by any means but it's another example by attacking the nuclear agreement functionally the united states is in danger of bringing about the very situation which it complained of, namely an uncontrolled iranian involvement. >> sir, last week iran said they were looking to renege on some of the control mechanisms.
4:27 am
what do you think you should once they contain the nook clear ambitions, on the other, don't want to disrupt the strategic alliance of the united states. >> yes, it's very difficult. in my view the europeans have not taken a sufficiently strong line with the united states. united states is a threat to europe's security in this respect because it is reneging on a u.n. security council endorsed international agreement. that contributes directly to european securities, but i don't find that european has done that in response to the united states we should have a united nations security council debate of threats to regional peace followed by the possible end of
4:28 am
this nuclear agreement we see the united nations security council able to discuss other conflict areas but not this one sikdly, it's not too bad for them to voem a suite of mish urs which can have the financial mechanism of your trade which europe has put in place and a suite of measures which would persuade european banks to assist and to do so in a way which does not bring about u.s. sanctions on those banks and finally there needs to be work with russia and china it's not just up to the europeans. >> i want to come back to that question, richard, of the banks and indeed the broader business community in europe. their investment decisions in
4:29 am
iran has that had any significant impact, do you think, on the political dialogue inside the iranian leadership do you think that's pertinent to the decision making going on in iran now >> indeed it is. if you look at the pattern of observance of the obligations on the fixed countries with which iran signed the nuclear agreement, you'll see that the vit vital lifting of multi-lateral relations took place but that none of the promises made by the europeans, united states, russia and china have been fully met. even china now finds it difficult to trade with iran and european banks have not been
4:30 am
able to provide normal financial services which are mentioned in the nuclear agreement. so of course it's a major factor in tehran decision making, their belief that they have been suckered. >> we'll leave it there. thank you for joining us sir richard dalton is an "anything al fellow on chatham hughes. uber hits the skids on the first big day of trading that's after this break. (client's voice) remember that degree you got in taxation?

4:34 am
brussels for talks on iran the u.s. secretary of state tells cnbc exclusively that the ramp up in the persian gulf will not raise the risk of conflict. >> we're not going to miscalculate our aim is not war our aim is a change in the behavior of the iranian leadership we hope the iranian people will get what they finally want, what they so richly deserve. >> shares in thyssencrook plummet. a peaceful end in sight. shares in ira group rally after they agree to end their leadership dispute good morning after a weak handover from asian

4:37 am
u.s. equities. over the weekend as we were talking about, sentiment took a bit of a nose dive the picture is pretty murky. the dow is 270 points weaker in a couple of hours time nasdaq down 100 points s&p down 30 as well. so a lot of reds on the board for u.s. equities, too >> thanks, jomana. in the u.k. they will pressure theresa may for a departure date they told bbc radio he was looking for a, quote, clear understanding about the prime minister's timetable may has previously insisted she'll step down once her brexit deal is rattie fight this resignation pressure comes a among concerns that they could face heavy losses in the upcoming european parliamentary elections. that's after a core defeat

4:39 am
our colleague and tech reporter joins us now in the studio was uber's management expecting this might happen? >> there was a lot of anticipation going into this day. we had expected it for years and it turned out to just not be a great day in the market. uber's management made a point to say there's a little bit of it rated to the after frican poy it's waiting to do that for a number of years. andrew ross sorkin asked the ceo. here's how he responded. >> pricing a deal is an art, not a science, so we probably went at it imperially but we thought this reflected the environment environment is uncertain right now, and any time there's uncertainty in the market, investors are going to be a
4:40 am
little hesitant to put 8 billion of their dollars to work we wanted to put our stock with a group of funds we know aren't going to hold for the next week, the next year and the next five years. when we looked at the environment and we balanced how we really think of this company long term, this was a great result $8 billion is plenty for us to build and grow on top of >> what kind of runway does that give you >> very significant. we're confident in the road ahead. >> there was a little bit of caveating about the overall market and also about lyft which reported its earnings earlier in the week uber was saying, we're not totally sure about it. >> we've had these two major transportation sore advises give their opinion the last month or so. >> lyft is not high.
4:41 am
the post launch. uber had a weak launch on friday what does this tell you about appetite from the -- well, essentially from the investor community to own these names they can't keep pointing back to tricky market conditions ultimately maybe it's a function of these companies being a little too ambitious. >> we've seen these companies, particularly uber and the tech unicorns in the pipe like like slack and we work, they waited in the private markets to go public they got the massive valuations that aren't normal normally you would have gone public years ago there is a little bit of trepidation thinking they maybe waited too long. we talked a lot about how the broader ipo market is still very hot right now. >> let's leave it there. thank you so much, elizabeth

our tech reporter. solving the governance issues after months of tension french lens maker essilol and lucks otic ka resolves their problem. they have accused each other of trying to dominate the combined entity under the terms of this so-called peace deal and none of the currency pros will wear it. >> fascinating story. >> really interesting. talking about trans national dynamics and a big question around having a founder as a ceo. >> absolutely. and i think as you go back and actually if you look at the performance of the stock relative to other stocks in the
4:43 am
sector, this is a luxury stock it has done extwreemly well. it has under performed down 3%. when as they merged the combined group had a market cap of 54 billion euros, it's gone down because of investor and stakeholder concerns about the governance issues going on between the respective ceos. and to your point about having a founder be in a chief executive position, this goes back to many, many years even before the merger happened. the ceo of lucks ottica and then reasserting indefense. the founder had a very activist, active role. >> hard to let go. also interesting, typically you have these public spatz, a war of words between the two
4:44 am
opposing sides it's also been the vocal nature of the criticism from institutional investors that seems to have forced the two sides to come to some kind of agreement because they have been so happy with this reached the peak was the time when the ceo of luxotica, his holding company, delphin which controls 31% of the voting rights, they went and initiated an arbitration request and they found out that the other ceo was over exerting his influence and looking to move out of his mandate. then investors got concerned because it looked as though he was going down the arbitration route and not looking to solve this they seem to have pull the aside those issues and neither will be

the final day of the premier league soccer season saw manchester city survive a brief
4:49 am
scare, very brief scare to hold its nerve and get the victory it needed to retain the title second place liverpool won the final fixture as well but it wasn't enough to overhaul city it has been a tempestuous 24 hours. i want to break the news to our viewers that the manager chris houton has left the club tell us more. >> jomana, brighton maybe not counting the cost for that defees, but the wider circumstances, their manager chris hughton has been sacked. tony bloom saying it's time for a change brighton had see secured the premier league status for the third season chris hughton has lost his job again. they were on the receiving end of manchester city's final win of the season that took them to 98 points.
4:50 am
unassailable total that liverpool could not reach even if they did beat hampton, which they did do. amazing scenes at the amex stadium. brighton not sticking with the script by going ahead only 80 or 90 seconds in between the two goals and manchester city battling liverpool still winning the title but not when la port puts manchester city in front 2-1. they added another goal and they put the cheri on top of the cake with a 4-1 win that one to be the last job for chris. this was his biggest a chooefment, toughest title
4:51 am
because they were pushed all of the way. just relieved to have that titlt back in the city >> players, especially the rivalry. give more and more credit to what you have done last season was the first one. it was incredible to be the first one. from the beginning liverpool was incredible. >> the season is definitely not over for liverpool and manchester city. city still has the first english club to play watford cup in the final. liverpool, well, they head to madrid in a couple of weeks' time to visit tottenham all-star >> swap everything for that
4:52 am
european they haven't created these. >> will you swap that? we'll see. >> wouldn't call it lack of success. >> our commiserations to our reporter there on sports, adam reed. let's shift from football or soccer to shopping shares in geox down 14 1/2% after they reported a drop in first quarter sales. they have cut the stock rating from buy to hold after those disappointing results. and moving across the pond to walmart, forecasting an annual decline in operating income and earnings per share when it reports the first quarter results later this week. this after the retailer reported much stronger than expected sales during the holiday period. i want to bring in brendan fletcher, senior analyst from bernstein. looking at your notes, i see
4:53 am
that you have -- you've just moved walmart to an outpersonal perform rating you're saying that their investments are fing to pay off. tell us more about your outlook here it's been a long run for us being neutral on walmart and we feel walmart can slowly increase the online capabilities versus amazon the classic business, which are still stores which are growing extraordinarily well, still comping a high as 1 or 2%, that those boxes can generate more earnings that's why we think walmart will do better than their original guidance by going back to the bread and butter, which is harvesting costs, being a low cost operator, while serving a relatively strong middle america. >> i want to take you back to the amazon earnings. one thing that stood out is the
4:54 am
traditional area, ecommerce is not growing, cloud services, wearables, et cetera do you think going forward that the shift of amazon will be more on the classic growing than the pure retail market >> we think that's a good observation and we think it's consistent with one of the challenges that amazon is running into it's easy to think it is good with everything. they have a particular format. no different than another physical box we can identify as consumers. amazon's very dominant format is a very large distribution center out in the middle of nowhere, 200 miles away, and they have millions of items. if you're after something in the long, long tail of assortment,
4:55 am
it's difficult for someone to compete with them except walmart over time. what most of our spend is on is grocery items, high speed consumption items. price and convenience ietd tempt. it's pretty good in price. not that good at convenience that's why we've seen them invest in getting more convenient to try to close that gap. that's why we think amazon does have limitations in terms of the retail capability and we see the growth in other sectors is one of those mechanism, even if it's not coming to retail do you think that's a game changer for the industry does it put unnecessary pressure on retail competitors? >> it matters but one of the
4:56 am
elements is decide how convenient do you have to be before a store is not the correct option we have to remember that a store, even in the united states, is moving more towards the european model which includes pickup. we like the french model of the leclair areas. certainly nothing kmard to the -- compared to the u.k.s. we think that one day shipping has to be compared to one hour pickup >> all right, sir. thank you very much. for breaking that down for us. senior analyst from bernstein, brandon fletcher thank you for watching ♪
