we'll keep an eye on those rates. turning overseas, in asia, we are seeing a bit of an action in trading there. we have the nikkei off by a quarter of a percent the hang seng is off by a half of a percent the shanghai off by a third of a percent. the kospi in south korea up by three quarterers ofs of a percet the dax is up. the cac in france also up. the ftse is up by a third of a percent as well. on the oil side of things, keeping a close eye there, wti crude up about 0.23% $59.17 the last trade there. euros, 1.111 1.1131 is what it l cost you to buy euros.

ray dalio says he views the u.s./china conflict as more than just a trade war he says increasing export controls could turn it into a more serious export embargo war. he also says the u.s. crackdown on huawei amounts to weaponizing export controls. joining me now is peter boockvar from bleakly advisory group. peter, ray dalio, always a guy who has strong words about the markets and how he thinks things developing in the macro big picture front. do you feel as though his concerns are warranted and justified? >> well, if you listen to the approach both sides are taking, digging in, using huawei, limiting "game of thrones" being shown in china, yeah, this is getting much deeper than i thought anybody realized when we

first started with this negotiation with china an we first started with the tariffs i think initially, okay, we'll threaten them with tariffs, china will roll over, we'll get a deal, everything willible fine the deeper we go, the worse it is getting if you're a ceo in this country and you saw tariff rates going from 10% to 25%, you will sit tight and see how this plays ou out. >> what is ray dalio looking at now, what are you looking at what are the signs that ray is possibly forecasting given conditions could come to fruition because of the trade conflict between the u.s. and china? nowquantifying it. we know it's going on. in july we'll see how corporate america has dealt with it from an earnings standpoint how much were the revenues clipped.

how were they able to manage on the cost side whawhat did they v to eat themselves? how companies are managing this. we won't be able to tell until the middle of july when they start reporting q2 earnings. >> this is a margin issue. it's u.s. companies from a logistical standpoint, u.s. companies pay these tariffs. so when ceos on their earnings calls say we are factoringer not fa factoring in tariffs, it's because -- >> and how much will the chinese supplier eat how much will the u.s. company eat? this is from a cost side we also know that revenues will slow nominal gdp growth is slowing around the world top line is slowing. margins getting clipped. at the same time the wage growth

is persistent because the labor market is so tight this is combining for a more challenging earnings environment. >> is this a stock market -- showing futures now indicating a higher open here we're still off and trending lower near-term. is this a market that you feel as though is accurately pricing in the risks around trade between the u.s. and china >> i think the bond market with this yield curve inversion is more worry heed about implications i think the stock market is still holding out hope that the fed will save us with a rate cut. you would think that if you looked at the news the stock market would be down more than it is, and that it is not i can attribute that to faith in the fed and that they will make everything right it's misplaced by a consistent mentality. >> peter become var, than er bo. boeing's ceo gone on the

record for the first time since two 737 max planes crashed frank holland has those details. what did he say? >> dennis muhlenberg is taking responsibility for mistakes that were a factor in two deadly crashes that led to the worldwide grounding of the 737 max. he spoke last night to cbs news in his first public interview since those accidents. >> i do personally apologize to the families we feel terrible about these accidents. we apologize for what happened we are sorry for the loss of lives in both accidents. that will never change that will always be with us. i can tell you it affects me directly as a leader of this company. >> boeing says it completed the fix for the flight control system on the 737 max earlier this month it must still be certified by the faa and global regulators. muilenburg says he is so

confident in the software fix he would let his own family fly on the jet. >> we clearly fell short and the implementation of this angle of attack disagree alert was a mistake. we did not implement it properly we're confident in the fundamental safety of the airplane >> you would put your family on a 737 mac? max? >> without hez taksitatihesitatn >> dom, back over to you >> thank you. a busy hour still ahead on "worldwide exchange. when we come back, an emergency summit in saudi arabia as tensions continue to rise in that region. a live report on the ground is coming up. and elon musk looks to try to make history and turn around what has been a rocky 2019 for the electric carmaker. later in the show, could

on the treasury side of things, a slight uptick to rates overall. the two-year note yield yielding 2.11%. the ten-year treasury note yield, 2.27%. oil prices right now, wti crude up by 0.50%. $59.06 the last trade there. ice brent futures down by a quarter of a percent $6 $69.30 last trade there. saudi arabia hosting an emergency summit to discuss rising tensions in the region. dan murphy is live in jeddah for us dan, what can you tell us about this emergency summit in saudi arabia >> hi, dom in just a few hours saudi arabia is set to host this emergency summit in mecca to discuss these

rying tensions with iran this comes after the saudi foreign minister said iran's support nor houthi rebels was enough to destabilize the area this comes also after the u.s. national security adviser john bolton increased the temperature in the region yesterday directly blaming iran for a series of sabotage attacks on ships belonging to saudi arabia off the coast of the united arab emirates bolton said in a statement at a news briefing late yesterday that there is no doubt in anybody's mind in washington who is responsible for this but stopped short of providing evidence for his claim iran's deputy foreign minister also reacted in the last 24 hours to that comment. he described it as ludicrous and

that iran is ready to come to the table and talk, but also says iran is ready to respond if necessary. president trump has said in the past that he does not want war or regime change with iran he would like to see a cushing of iran's nuclear ambitions. whether or not the summit will achieve that remains to be seen. back over to you >> dan, put us in more of the color and context for this overall scheme and what's happening in saudi arabia and the middle east. there is a big opec meeting coming up next month, slated to take place what will these nations in the middle east and their partners be talking about with regard to not just the tensions there but what's happening with global supplies as well. >> it's a good point let's talk about what this means for your money in terms of the reaction we've seen in commodity prices to these rising tensions in the middle east, it's been pretty muted. look at the price of oil yes, we're monitoring early

upside throughout the course of trade today, but when we see destabilizing activity in the middle east, we would see a pop in the price of oil. that has not event wauated. that's because supply/demand dynamics are the main driving factor here. we are coming into that important opec meeting set to take place in june or july when opec decides that will happen. it is likely, according to the commentary that we will see an extension to the overall smi up cut agreement. that's driving the price of oil at the moment. we will see perhaps something else coming out of this meeting, it could provide a near-term upside catalyst he, it seems like it's baked into the price at the moment. back over to you >> thanks, dan murphy. still to come, a commodity crunch devastating flooding in the midwest in the united states pushing prices to near

obstruction of justice >> if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. >> reporter: bottom line, it's up to congress more than 40 democrats and one republican are calling for impeachment. it would start with congressman jerry nadler's judiciary committee. >> all options are on the table. nothing should be ruled out. >> reporter: nancy pelosi is pumping the brakes on stituents impeach the president, but we want to do what's right and get results. >> reporter: the white house says mueller's statement means case closed. >> if bob mueller determined there was a crime he would have had a moral obligation to report it. >> reporter: he didn't he says he couldn't. democrats are divided on what to do next. so democrats are planning to continue investigating, they just don't know where it's headed >> all right i want to keep you around for a

bit here we want to switch gears. there are devastating floods right now happening all across the midwest. thousands of acres of farmland are under water, now congress is looking to step in what is the latest there what can congress or the trump administration do to help these struggling farmers >> so we got this disaster aid bill, $19 billion to try to help struggling farmers affected by not only these floods but also previous floods. money from puerto rico and rebuilding from hurricanes, all of that is wrapped into this disaster package but it's in limbo. congress is on break they tried to pass it without all lawmakers here to vote twice now one republican has stood up and said no let wait until everybody gets back they also want to pack more money for border security into this bill. that is their real objection here bottom line, it's in a bit of

limbo. lawmakers will try to pass it again on thursday. if that doesn't work they'll wait for everyone to get back on monday does this ultimately pass? it seems like this is something that most people can agree on, right? >> yes it looks like it will ultimately pass but not this week while everyone is on break >> tracie potts, thank you very much for that. those devastating floods are having an impact on commodity prices look at corn, wheat, soybean, those prices pulling back this morning after hitting multi-month highs over the course of the past couple of days we'll get a check on those prices in corn futures, wheat and soybeans moving to the down side let check the other top headlines. good morning conflicting stories this morning on whether the white house wanted the uss john s. mccain out of the picture during president trump's trip to japan. the "wall street journal" first reported it had reviewed an

droids in one spaceship? we'll take you there live. it's thursday, may 30th. you are watching "worldwide exchange" on cnbc. welcome back to "worldwide exchange." i'm dominic chu. let's get you up to speed on the top headlines. frank holland has your executive recap. here's what's leading cnbc.com right now the co-founder of the world's largest hedge fund is raising a big red flag on the trade war. ray dalio says any move by china to restrict rare exports to the u.s. would create a major escalation in the trade war. rare earth is used in a variety of things from mobile phones to fighter jets. dennis muilenburg offering a

personal apology to the families of 737 max crash victims boeing says it has completed a fix for the 737 max planes that fix still needs to be certified by the faa and other global regulators, but muilenburg says he is so confident in the software fix, he would let his own family fly on the jets. softbank's vision fund is looking to borrow $4 billion against its stakes in uber, slack and garden health. this move comes as softbank looks to hand back cash to investors. softbank shares down 10% this month. down slightly in early trade back over to you let's check the markets. futures now pointing to a higher open it's modest but still back-to-back losses for the major indices, it could be a good day to see a bounce the dow jones would open up by just around 55 points if these futures gains hold into the opening bell the s&p up by 7 points

the nasdaq up by 20. on the treasury side of things, a light uptick on most parts of the yield curve. ten-year note yields right now 2.27%. just thereabouts let's dive into the markets and your money joining me now is siylvilvia j jablons jablonski. the market action has been so interesting to follow. we're still not that far away from record highs but we're seeing quite a bit of activity in key parts of the market what stands out to you as being the real important move that the markets have made thus far >> what the markets have done thus far is bring uncertainty into yoour lives. we're seeing a more bearish sentiment right now. i think the fundamentals still hold strong. so you have a decent gdp growth, strong unemployment.

five to six quarters of good corporate earnings in the long-term, if some untertcyunter uncertainty around china trade tariffs, we could see the markets rallying we've seen flows flip. we've seen bull fun funds go tor funds. you and i talked about last time we were here semiconductors, tech, those etfs were up 50%, 60%, 70% smh had a great year month to date that's down 10% plus the three beta etfs are up 50% plus on the bear side. >> so, i mean, there's a lot of focus. you mentioned all of those reasons why there's been a buy the dip sentiment for a long time now the general economic data has been constructive. is there going to be more tension paid to numbers like gdp? we'll get more reads later today and later this week with regard

to data. does it still seem supportive for stocks going higher? >> i think the market and the economy is slowing we're sort of at the end of a cycle. i think the gdp growth will probably slow. corporate earnings will probably slow i don't think they're recession worthy so there's still an opportunity to generate gains and equities if you can get high single digit growth, that seems to be a smart strategy versus just looking for lower yield returns right now. so the trade tariffs is the big uncertainty. we have a stable fed we have a dovish fed potentially rate cuts. the big factor is you have these companies that have led the market with 50%, 60% exposure to china. that will impact the bottom line and consumers will pay for those goods and tariffs. >> we're seeing a number of analysts, strategists and economists saying there are more and more signs that a reliable

recession indicator is in play is that what you believe do you believe we are seeing that slowdown? does it ultimately lead to a recession? >> i think the messages are mixed. we have a yield curve that inverted for a slight amount of time in march. it looked hairy the other day. that situation has not been the same as in the past. you do have a dovish fed, you have corporate earnings better than expected. so i think the message is mixed and that tells me we're slowing down there are investors definitely offloading risk assets we've seen growth into staples and utilities and healthcare investors are wary of what's to come i think the economy is at least potentially going to be stable for another year or so i don't think a quick recession is coming upon us. >> all right

thank you very much. >> thank you let's dig in deeper on one part of the market we spoke about. rates and their impact on the financial sector joining us now is anton schutz you make a living on rates and how they impact the financials and the banks. we are looking at the t bill yield. that part of the curve, there's an inversion of the yield curve. is this important for the banks as it has been in the past >> well, it certainly is a factor i think people put too much weight into the factor when you think about a really good commercial bank, there has been core deposits those cost the bank very little in the way of rates. a good commercial bank will lend on a variable rate basis

still making a nice spread there. if you think about six straight lenders, they tend to be more long-term type lenders, like insurance companies. life insurance tends to have long liabilities, they lend long most banks don't take a lot of long lendingies i risks the question is does the yield curve stay this way and is it forecasting something? or do we have something new like negative rates around the world, which number in the trillions of dollars, which is causing people to look at the u.s. and say it's attractive and this yield curve is not telling us anything about a recession. >> let's put it another way. is there a scenario in the future where the banks still could be a good and even outperforming investment class if this current interest rate environment stays the way it is? >> for instance yesterday the

regional banks outperformed the rest of the market that was an interesting time if the curve stays this way, which i don't think it will stay this way, there's lots of tools. first of all the fed can do operation reverse twist. they unload their balance sheet at the long end. actually, you know, right side their balance sheet and buy more short-dated securities we as taxpayers would make money off the gains the fed is making. so that's one way for the fed to deal with it there's other ways to create a positive curve i don't expect the curve to stay inverted for a long period of time if you look at stanley gorman's comments, he was talking about 2.5% to3% treasury by year-end i think the recession fears are misguided. recessions happen. i'm not forecasting one, but they do happen everybody is extrapolating that

it will be like 2007 and 2008 where we had incredible excesses in credit and in housing in the u.s. i don't see an asset class that big, that linked that has that kind of impact that could cause that kind of a deep recession. i he don't expect the yield curve to stay here i expect banks to consolidate and cut costs and create earnings simply through doing that the tougher things are the more likely m&a picks up and given cost savings are so high with technology, i think the space is cheap. you have high returns on equity, and you have dividend yields well above treasury rates. >> always great to get your thoughts on those banks, appreciate it. thank you very much for that coming up, excitement on the ice. game two of the stanley cup finals with a sudden death victory. a must-see video is coming up. first disney is betting big on its new "star wars" theme

amazing that alex trebek can say he's that close to remission moving on, google updating its play store policy, it's prohibiting apps that sell or promote the sale of marijuana. google will remove all such apps from the play store. that shows the evolving situation with marijuana still illegal under federal law. >> that's maybe one of the drivers here google still has to be seen as complying with federal laws even though jurisdictions can locally say that's okay. >> the tsa also now allowing cbd oil to be flown on planes with you. it's a patchwork of different laws that everyone is trying to figure out some theme parks don't allow cbd produc products it's more important than ever to be nice to your uber

futures pointing to what could be a higher hope for the dow up about 50 points if these gains hold into the opening bell 7 points for the s&p 500 and up about 24 points for the nasdaq overall treasuries, let's look at those. slight upticks to what's happening with the overall yield picture across many parts of the curve. the two-year treasury note yield standingat 2.017%. the ten-year treasury note yield a hair below 2.27% let's bring in rob morgan. so much talk about the yield curve. is it important and is it the reason why markets are starting to revalue themselves to the down side? >> well, two your previous guests in the last 30 minutes talked about or basically said that maybe the yield curve is not quite as important as it has been in the past i would tend to somewhat agree

with them. the yield curve inverted, historically that means a recession is coming six months to two years they gave different reasons for why they thought this time is different. it's always a scary thing to say this time is different i will say it, too this is why i think this time is different. with all the quantitative easing, including in the u.s., that's manipulated the yield curve in ways we have not seen historically earnings continue to be strong gdp continues to be strong we'll get a revision on that today. the trade war has been a negative for equity markets. if we get that resolved -- i think with the trade war, all the negative stuff is baked in to the market. if we can get that resolved, kicking the can down the road, that's a boost

>> that's a big statement, you're saying there can be nothing that happens on the trade front negatively that could take down the markets further from here. tell us why. well, you know, obviously trade is a big issue but if you -- but it's one big mathematical equation. we have domestic production and demand, which really in a big way dwarfs the trade situation it would take a heck of a lot to on the trade front in a negative way to drag us into recession. and then i'm agreeing with your previous guests that they don't see it coming. and quite frankly -- at least in the near-term. every business cycle ends, we will get a recession, i just don't see it in the next 12 months >> we've seen a downturn in

small cap stocks they were supposed to be more immune to issues like trade. >> as you correctly pointed out it's a sect theor that has strue lately trade issues will affect big cap multinationals more. even though not all small cap companies are just domestic, a higher percentage are. that would suggest you take a bit out of the large cap multinationals, put them into small caps yeah, i would definitely overweight the small caps at present. >> just a couple seconds here. any parts of the market you like >> i think as far as the s&p 500 sectors, my favorites are staples, financials, utilities they seem to all have good evaluations.

good visible earnings growth good strength. >> rob morgan, always appreciate your thoughts. thank you very much for joining us that does it for "worldwide "schge quawk box" picks up coverage next with modest gains in futures. ♪ ♪ at comcast, we didn't build the nation's largest gig-speed network just to make businesses run faster. we built it to help them go beyond. because beyond risk... welcome to the neighborhood, guys. thank you. there is reward. beyond the classroom... there is inspiration. ♪ ♪
