5:01 am
what caused bitcoin to plunge 1,000 bucks in minutes and the surprise winners and losers of the first democratic debate and what big topic surprisingly was missing it's thursday, june 27th "worldwide exchange" begins right now. >> afternoon, good evening and welcome from wherever in the world you may be watching. i'm brian sullivan futures are higher on the dow. your chart of the day already on this thursday has got to be bitcoin. if you have not been following it, it's been a crazy 24 hours for the crypto all right. this is an intraday chart. 24-hour chart of bitcoin yeah bitcoin right now is down $991 all right. we surged past 13,000 here almost touched or basically did hit 14,000
5:02 am
then news that the biggest bitcoin exchange, coinbase, had crashed. nobody was able to trade on coinbase look at that in minutes, bitcoin fell to about 12,000 14,000 to 12,000 in minutes. kind of tried to come back now we've been sliding throughout the early morning bitcoin down 7% or $1,000 a coin to 11,921. more on this minus a lot of these yellow lines coming up let's get to the macro market. something you're probably more invested in, the stock market. equity futures now are higher. not a lot. dow futures up 66. those trade headlines about a possible truce are boosting markets now. not a huge amount. the nasdaq and s&p are up. the s&p 500 now down for four straight days. but most major indexes are on pace for their best month since
5:03 am
january. unless we see a major drop in the next couple of days, the nasdaq is on pace for its 11th positive quarter in the past 12. around the world, green arrows across the board in asia those trade truce talks boosting markets overseas japan and hong kong are up more than 1%. europe again, similar story. a lot of green on the screen a lot of optimism going into the g20 meeting where the world leaders landing. our president expected to land within the hour. we are following a pair of big trade headlines today. first off, the south china morning post is reporting that the united states and china have tentatively agreed to a trade war truce ahead of this weekend's g20 summit the details still sketchy. sources say the deal would halt another round of tariffs on chinese goods. president trump expected to meet
5:04 am
with china's president this saturday at the g20. separately, president trump now blasting india after that country slapped higher tariffs on 28 u.s. goods earlier this month. president trump calling those tariffs unacceptable busy day so let's get to it your first guest today says that the markets, the fed, the economy, they have something in common with gwyneth paltrow. patrick armstrong is cio of plurmini investment managers if you can combine all of that and chris martin of coldplay and the gdp, it's a win what are yo saying >> look back over the last two, three years, the fed fund futures and the consensus growth
5:05 am
for the united states have moved in lock step with each other until the last six months, then they consciously decoupled, or uncoupled as were gwyneth paltrow's words were one of those has to give i think this weekend we'll either have lower gdp estimates or we'll have to see some of these three or four fed cuts that the market is pricing in. i think we'll probably have to take some of those off the table if we see progress on trade. we'll see a recoupling of gdp and fed fund futures, not so much with gwyneth. >> there you go. i like what you did there who will be right? do you think the bond market may have it wrong? >> the bond market on ten-year is probably -- we think they'll stay around 2% i think fed fund futures are pricing in a too negative situation for growth or too dovish for the fed even if you look at bullard, up
5:06 am
with of the most dovish members of the fed, he's talking down 50 basis points a lot of market participants were looking at 50 basis points for july markets are pricing in three cuts this year i don't see it i think if we move into a vegs, y recession, we get three cuts we expect the trade truce is enough to keep a sub trend growth >> do you think there's a relationship between trade and the federal reserve? the irony might be if we get a deal, that would be good for the equity markets in the short-term, but it might take the fed cut story off the table. >> yeah. i think the long-term driver of equities can't just be the fed though short-term definitely everything is rallying. when the alternative is zero interest rates, you have to put your money to work somewhere
5:07 am
things that are pro growth eventually will be translate nothing higher equity prices i think it's a win for equities if we do get the trade deal. >> i guess one could have argued a couple years ago that this can't be a fed driven market five years ago, yet here we are still a fed driven market maybe even more than a couple years ago. does the fed ever really step aside? >> i'm not sure. it was looking like they were going to in 2018 the weak q4 pulled them back in to stabilized markets. now it's what markets are hanging on to. this week, we started to buy some internet companies out of china again. the premise is that we get a deal if we don't, powell comes to the rescue so i think everyone is pricing in this powell put. the fed indicated they are there. if there's tensions on trade a market selloff, it's probably got people too complacent, but
5:08 am
it is the fed driving markets now. all of the central banks have to compete with that. draghi just before the fed meeting last week indicated he's ready to cut to make sure the euro doesn't appreciate against the backdrop of a dovish fed >> patrick armstrong, conscious uncoupling, the phrase of the day. thank you very much. when we come back, no quick fix. new problems for boeing's troubled 737 max and new york apparently so last year the one surprising city that has become a new hot spot for fintech. later, why bitcoin invest verse got to break out the dramamine the latest trade if you own bitcoin, maybe go 'rba aerhid. wee ckft ts. moving is hard.

5:12 am
the issue to a microchip boeing believes it can fix the problem with the software upgrade but there's a chance that boeing would have to replace that chip in all 500 max planes that have already been built or delivered that could further delay the aircraft's return to service the 737 has been pulled from schedules through labor day. look at the stock premarket. it's down slightly more than 1%. perhaps not as much as you would expect given the news. >> investors may be looking out way in the distance and hoping for resolution but not the news that boeing or investors had hoped for. on deck, the one major city that is becoming the must-stop destination for fintech startups. and ishgs can cahn on the aa he's doing to shake up or shakedown an energy powerhouse

there's a live look at osaka, japan we've had a number of world leaders already arrive for the g20. within the next hour we could see president trump arriving at that airport not the best of weather days welcome back the hottest part of venture investing now is in fintech, financial technology new york had been seen as the forefront of that multibillion dollar movement.
5:16 am
but there may be another major city, london, that takes the title out from under us. joining us now is eileen burbridge. she joins us now from london great to have you on "worldwide exchange." all we hear about here is how miserable things are, brexit, the economy is on the verge of collapse you guys are finding lots of places to invest how and why? >> absolutely. i was going to take issue with your intro, i think london has been the leader for fintech for five, six years. i don't think it's ever been new york i'm sorry, you'll probably never have me on again london has been one of the two largest financial centers of the world with new york. then we actually have a much larger software culture here we have larger head quarters for the engineering teams of google,
5:17 am
facebook, amazon on top of that we have a progressive regulato based in london. we always had a combination of san francisco, the bay area, new york, and d.c., almost as if it's all in the same city. that's why i think london has been leading in fintech. >> you're welcome back any time because that was the most polite disagreement i've ever had i've been in england >> i'll knock that area, and i will include my ancient peoples ireland in that as well. separate nation, but i normally thought of that region more -- i don't mean this insultingly -- as the back office, particularly the dublin area. they're not creating the technology, they're servicing. i'm clearly wrong about that as well, correct? >> i'm not going to disrespect your ann zesters eancestors atl but i think the uk with leeds,
5:18 am
manchester and london where 50% of the fintech output is coming from, we have a huge financial services sector and fintech pulling in $5 billion in recenvr funding. we have really great output here because of how progressive regulators have been and how great it's been to passport across europe. >> that's twice you mentioned progressive regulators i don't need to tell you what's going on here. d.c. is going after big tech over there you are loosening up? >> it's not loosening up, but it's true, the regulator here is the most progressive regulator in the world it's the only regime where you have a financial services regulator that includes
5:19 am
innovation in its mandate. we know the reason why that is they weren't happy after the 2007/2008 financial crisis they wanted resilience back in banking, they didn't want to have to bail out the four largest banks again, they said how will we increase innovation and competition. that's what is really supporting the startups because we had a large financial services sector you had people fed up with inefficiencies and saying i can apply tech to what i've been trying to do day-to-day and make a much more valuable company >> you are in the capital of england, but this little thing called brexit, has it been more difficult to access investor capital given that or are people still putting money to work and saying whatever happens, technology will roll on >> no. i'd be lying if i were saying it didn't bring up difficult
5:20 am
conversations. brexit has been a distraction. it gives people pause. it means we have to talk about whether or not uk companies, if they need a regulatory approval will passport into the european union after we leave but it still hasn't dampened investor enthusiasm. that's why i pointed out $5 billion coming in the first half of this year into fintech is great. it surpasses that of last year and the year before. last year it was about 3 billion for the entire year. while it does cause people to have longer conversations about what the future might hold, it hasn't dampened enthusiasm i think we'll come out of brexit as strong on the fintech side. >> eileen, a wonderful debate. just so polite we appreciate it you're welcome back any time i promise. >> thanks, brian still to come, is there an inhehe investing dla in the hooe

a trade truce? the u.s. and china putting the trade fight on hold ahead of the g20 meeting. president trump is about to land in japan for that big summit the moment he does you will see it. the first debate in the books. who were the surprise winners and losers and what big topic that we talk about every day was all but ignored. and bitcoin all over the place the last 24 hours. we'll show you what's happening now and it is ugly it's thursday, june 27th you're watching "worldwide exchange" on cnbc.
5:29 am
welcome back people not crazy in love with bitcoin right now. we'll show that you in a second. hi, everybody. welcome back to "worldwide exchange." i'm brian sullivan here's how your money and investments look there's been reports out there that possibly china and the u.s. are willing to have some kind of a trade detente or a trade truce for a couple days at g20 while they try to work out their differences here we are seeing dow futures up 82 points they have gained a bit over the last 10, 15 minutes. we are green across the screen in asia, that report also moving the markets. japan and hong kong the big winners. the hang seng up 1.4%. green in europe. any talk, anyhint of a trade truce sending markets up
5:30 am
you have the fed, the ecb and the chinese central bank all stimulating and easing as well the perfect storm. maybe that's why we have these record highs benchmark yields, nothing changed. still a hair above 2%. oil slightly lower now still hovering around 60 bucks a barrel crude up more than 4% in the week there's a big opec meeting monday and tuesday tuesday it involves russia likely to be contentious you have the 1$1.2 million barre a day production cut and you have this little issue of iran them and the saudis have been at odds for a long time could be a contentious meeting in vienna next week. we will be there the move, maybe the chart over the last 24 hours has to be bitcoin. this is a 24-hour chart of bitcoin here folks, this is not a misprint. bitcoin right now is down $1,500
5:31 am
a coin a 12% drop here's what happened we saw bitcoin start to rise yesterday morning. this is noon we briefly hit about 14,000 on bitcoin. then news that crypto currency exchange coinbase had crashed. as coinbase went down, so did bitcoin. that's about the 12,000 mark it went from 14,000 to 12,000 in a matter of minutes. a lot on the screen. bitcoin tried to rally but guess what invest selliors selling out. we are at 11,385 you can watch -- we'll sit here and watch bitcoin go down. it's literally moving as we speak off 1500 bucks to 11,400 we'll put bitcoin's massive run up in maybe an easier way to
5:32 am
understand involving the stock market it is your morning rbi i think it's a good one. stick around the economy, taxes, and healthcare, which is the economy, all taking center stage at last night's first democratic presidential debate. let's get a wrap up from ylan mui. >> the pundits will argue over who won this debate and tin the and weeks to come but it's clear who lost last night. that's corporate america almost every candidate took a shot at big business last night saying they're too powerful, have too much influence, not enough oversight and they promised to change that. >> right now we have a system that favors those who can pay for access and outcomes. that's how you explain an economy that is rigged to corporations and to the wealthiest >> halliburton or amazon pay nothing in taxes i want to change that. >> i want to return government
5:33 am
to the people and that means calling out the names and saying i have the courage to go after them >> pharma thinks they own washington they don't own me. >> all right ylan mui will join us in a few minutes as well as john harwood with his insight and analysis. who were the surprise winners? was it castro? maybe it was bourque we will dive in on that in a couple moments let's bring in a man who has no shortage of opinions, jimmy every day i'm waiting and waiting, where was the tidialoge about the massive trade fight last night it was almost ignored. >> almost the number one issue
5:34 am
facing the united states and the global economy now almost nothing the only person who talked a bit about it was elizabeth warren. she didn't sound different than the president. she was talking about the need to make everything in the united states she wants all the good jobs here does she want all those iphones made in fremont, california? it kind of sounded like she did. just like trump. >> listen, if you talk about trade, you have to talk about politics the election was really won in a few counties in wisconsin and pennsylvania and maybe in michigan particularly in lower wisconsin. they may not care about trade. you're speaking to somebody who part-time lives in wisconsin for part of the year they may not care about trade but they care about jobs, they care about manufacturing jobs. they care about middle class wages and sending their kids to college. that's the connection. i was very surprised that was not a hotter topic >> it really was strange
5:35 am
one has to wonder -- all right so people view the tariffs maybe as a mechanism for getting those jobs back here i have to wonder if a lot of those democrats were thinking, boy, trump beat us to it trump beat us to the tariffs maybe they're working, maybe they're not. maybe they're going to raise prices they seem to have gotten china's attention. at least it's a plan i don't think the democrats have a plan on that front they were asked if they would go back and join that old pacific trade deal which trump pulled out of a lot of them don't want to do that what do they want to do? >> only two of them want to kill private insurance. medicare for all, would you like to do away with private insurance? only two of them raised their hand on that healthcare in many ways is the economy. like it or hate it, it's a trillion plus dollar business in the united states. what did you make of that lack
5:36 am
of hand raise or the two hands that were raised >> i think it shows you most candidates understand the risk of telling people who are happy with their health insurance, people who have health insurance through hatheir company that wel take that away and try something different. i'm sure ultimately that is how president trump is going to respond to the democrats and their plans. he'll say assuming we're not in recession, the jobless rate is the lowest in 50 years democrats are proposing a lot of risky schemes that would change that elizabeth warren wants structural change in the economy when the unemployment rate is like 4% or less? that may seem risky to voters. >> here's the other part as well don't know if people like private health insurance or not. you get bills and you think what the heck do i pay for with the
5:37 am
deductible going up every year i get a $900 bill for stitches outside of insurance two elements are at work people largely -- i'm not saying it's right, distrust the government to do things well, but also it's a jobs story it's a trillion dollar industry. there's hundreds of thousands of jobs involved in private health insurance. many of which are back office jobs in states like wisconsin like michigan. like pennsylvania and ohio the states that matter >> great point i thought it was interesting that those kinds of tradeoffs, those second and third order effects of putting in like big plans, whether it's healthcare or something else, those were not generally considered by the candidates the one person i heard address that was john delaney there maryland, who was talking about the impact of medicare for all on hospitals that kind of thinking through the problem beyond the obvious, i rarely heard that. delaney talked about it then they quit calling on him
5:38 am
>> he's the only former ceo. he was involved in healthcare finance. we interviewed him many times. i don't know what chances mr. delaney has, but i wonder will those largely long thought through answers, will they play with the electorate? >> i don't know. it's not a sound bite, but he sounded like a guy who had the receipts >> well said i'm not sure we'll do this again tomorrow morning, jimmy pet, thank you very muc pethokoukis, thank you very much new reports that china and the united states may be hitting the pause button a little detente, smiling around the trade fight. that's all ahead of this weekend's g20 summit. and a pump alert if you're hitting the roads this fourth of july, we'll break down how much it might cost you to fill it up and the impact of
5:40 am
5:41 am
there's a live shot of a rainy osaka, japan that's the scene of the g20 summit the timing is friday and saturday much of the summit will take place over the weekend by the way, that is the saudi delegation plane there are reports that the energy minister for saudi arabia, we know he will be in japan. i don't know if he came with the official delegation. but he is scheduled to meet with the russian oil minister, alexander novak at g20 all of this ahead of the opec meeting which begins on monday you have a saudi/russia meeting ahead of the meeting where they meet again on tuesday -- it's the meeting before the meeting before the meeting staying with oil now let's talk about where we will stand and what is likely to
5:42 am
happen next week at opec and the unlikely and fragile alliances joining us is kevin berry from captrust it's great to have you on. we'll be at opec next week when we speak to the ministers, there is a viewpoint -- i'm not speaking for all of them -- but there's a viewpoint -- that they believe the permian oil boom will be temporary, we'll drain the oil faster than we think and they'll go back to being in charge, if you will. what do you think of that argument >> i think they tell it to themselves so they feel better about what's happening the reality is we have a much lower cost we make money at $40 oil they make money at $85 oil that cost advantage is fantastic. we were talking in february. we mentioned that one of the constraints on increased production was the pipeline. >> no way to get the oil out can't pump more if there's no way to put it. >> three pipelines opening this year three more next year
5:43 am
it's looking worse they'll have to repeat that several times to themselves to make themselves feeling better >> one of the reasons that my sources say oil has not moved much higher on the iran tensions is that you have 12.5, 13 million barrels a day of u.s. oil that is largely geopolitically risk-free >> and the pipelines bring it to the ports. the ports are ready to go with it you have the advantage of cost, cheaper capital, better logistics. i think the united states is in a much better position the permian basin has had plenty of oil for years and years the constraint now might be it's hard to raise money for these firms. >> so you read my mind or my notes. the permian basin has a lot of oil, it also has a lot of debt is debt the biggest threat to the u.s. oil boom? >> debt and the oil companies themselves so oil companies as a whole remind me of airlines.
5:44 am
airlines for years and years didn't make money. every four or five years they would go bankrupt. airlines would enter, prices would come down. feels like this to me. the oil -- there's been a lack of discipline and capital. we're starting to see the banks pull back. the fed is getting tighter with regulations on bank lending. these guys have taken in 200 billion in capital and lost 250. the fact that they're able to raise money for wall street, the fact that the banks are coming down more. it's better for the longer term. >> aren't we aligned with opec the saudis would like higher prices they want mid 80s to fund their government and social programs ironically we might want higher prices as well
5:45 am
i'm sure everyone makes a little money at 70. >> 70 would be terrific. gas prices would be below 3.25 and we would get more capex. >> kevin, good stuff appreciate it. see you soon. we have live pictures, air force one has just landed at osaka international airport. president trump there for the start of the g20 summit. now the president will travel directly from here to a bir bilateral dinner with the australian delegation. the rain has lifted somewhat kayla tausche is there for you for cnbc we will hear from her all day long president trump landing safely at osaka international airport. on deck, from boom to bust to boom again to bust this morning. the wild stat about bitcoin's breakout that compares bitcoin to the stock market and may put
5:46 am
5:48 am
welcome back president trump just landing at osaka international airport. air force one. it is parked you see the jetway being rolled out, the staircase it was pouring rain there. at least it was. kayla tausche is traveling to osaka, japan for the g20 she joins us now >> brian, there's a tropical cyclone condition here in japan as president trump touches down in osaka for his third g20 as president. officially the themes center on economic growth and trade. unofficially all of these world
5:49 am
leaders want face time with president trump to talk about foreign policy and their own trade issues with the united states and to ask what his plan is with regard to iran and north korea. even the papers here say that. world leaders bilateral talks will overshadow the g20 as a whole is one headline. there are 24 hours of official meetings that kick off there will be four meetings with all 20 leaders in them president trump alone has eight bilateral meetings the one with president xi that people are most interested in to see if there is a truce announced with trade president trump shortly after that meeting will be holding a press conference on saturday then we'll see who he signs on to this joint communique the white house tells us that it intends to have president trump sign off on that depending on the language reached they did reach a consensus in december that resulted in that
5:50 am
trade truce with china back then the language that was included in the joint communique talked about the value in multilateral trading organizations. but it removed language that was against protectionism. so that will certainly be something to watch, if that language gets added back in and how specifically countries talk about trade. because there is so much divergence between how the majority of the g20 views trade globally and the benefits of free trade versus how president trump pursued his own trade agenda he's just coming off a 12-hour trip with a refueling stop in alaska he talked about the democratic debate there he is traveling with many of his economic advisers who will have his ear as he goes into the meetings >> president trump talking a few minutes to tweet about the democratic debates boring with a bunch of exclamation points i would imagine the g20 will not be boring. there's a lot of story lines out
5:51 am
there. where do you think we'll see the most fireworks >> i don't think you will see a ton of fire works this time around for a few key reasons number one, japan is hosting this summit. prime minister abe has traveled around the world he's specifically asked prime minister trudeau of canada and chancellor merkel in germany to not distance president trump from the multilateral organizations. to try to prove the value of them and the value of some of these group summits which president trump so far has not seen the value of. abe has done this outreach to keep president trump at the table. then there's the fact that president trump generally is more popular here in japan than in europe. the fact that you won't see protests because that's not really in line with japanese culture here >> kayla tausche in osaka, appreciate it. thank you very much. i know you're not in front of a computer, we have headlines just
5:52 am
crossing from china. dow jones moments ago with a few headlines of importance. dow jones reporting that president xi will present president trump with specific terms that would settle the trade fight. among those conditions -- according to dow jones -- one of them, it would be lifting the ban on huawei. china also wants us to remove punitive tariffs according to dow jones, the terms will be discussed on saturday dow jones coming out and saying president xi jinping will present president trump with a specialist of terms that could end this trade fight one of which is mroefi inremovi blacklist and the backing of huawei we go live to london for our linda, i know you're following
5:53 am
trade keenly do you think this is sort of an olive branch or are these terms unlikely to be met and could provide more of a schism >> i think it's possible if president trumps trump and xi meet they will end up with a truce. that's what happened at the last g20. i think china is setting out first saying what they don't want is 25% tariffs on chinese imports into the united states certainly not on all chinese imports. the huawei thing is a direct reminder of argentina and the last g20 summit. the chinese and americans thought they were getting somewhere and the chinese returned home and found the cfo of huawei, who was in canada, was detained under house arrest. in other words, they know this set of trade talk s is broader than trade it's about huawei and investment they're saying these are what we
5:54 am
want if you agree, we can make some progress i'm sure the u.s. will have things they want before they go back to the negotiating table. >> i'm sure they'll smile in front of the camera. what do you think will happen behind the scenes? can the two sides come to any kind of agreement? >> i think there's a good chance there will be a truce. the reason is both presidents xi and trump have economic reasons for wanting this america has a 2020 election coming up. we saw that with the first democratic debates that's heating up. next year is president xi promised modest prosperity for his people so the short-term economic damage will mean both sides will want to come to a truce or an agreement so they can resolve this phase of the trade talks. but the sticking points will be the same ones we've had when the trade talks didn't progress. for instance, they want to
5:55 am
have -- the americans want legal changes in china to ensure that chinese promises are kept. china is seeing themselves being forced to open up more of their market they don't see an equivalent opening from the united states now of course that's because america is already more open than china politically that's hard for the chinese leadership to stomach. i would say those are the two things, if they can politically stomach getting that across the line, then i think there's a lot of economic reasons to do a deal >> linda, not a lot of time left if we do get a deal, hey, we have a deal, we worked it out, do we immediately raise our global gdp estimates >> yeah. the uncertainty would lift the best we could hope for is we come to an agreement there's a truce, they have 90 days to talk maybe at the end of the 90 days they come to an agreement that they can move forward on whether or not that really gets

results, but the markets will be leaved that some uncertainty is lifted >> we are look at live picture now of president trump departing air force one in osaka, japan. you heard kayla tausche say there is a tropical cyclone moving through landing in stormy weather. we will see if this meeting will be stormy weather or we'll see sunshine break through in those trade negotiations those dow jones headlines saying the chinese will present trump with a specialist of terms to end that trade fight we'll see if the two sides can come together. what if they do? what happens to the equity markets? let's bring in mark tepper we talk about record highs, earnings estimates i want to ask you, trade matters. it matters to a lot of companies no doubt that you own. as a fund manager, if we get great break through from the

weekend meeting, is that the all clear to buy more stock? >> absolutely. right now without a trade deal there's no way companies will hit their earnings expectations on the back half of this year. the street still expecting double digit earnings growth in the second half of 2019. quite frankly there's no way that happens if we're engaged in a trade war and there's tariffs in place ceos have no visibility to execute on plans if there's a trade deal, that would certainly help without the trade deal, earnings estimates will come down that's going to exert downward pressure on stocks we want to see some progress on the trade front. however i think trump also wants to make sure he gets both a rate cut and a trade deal so he has to be strategic about it >> that, to me, is the really fascinating story line this market is so beholden to our fed. we hear it every day on cnbc if we get a trade deal, does that make it less likely that the fed cuts rates

>> yes >> so we lose by winning >> right absolutely that's the concern that's why trump has to be strategic about how he goes about this if there's a fed meeting, there's a chance he doesn't cut. he will have to slow play the trade deal until after they cut so he can get the fed to cut by maybe 25 basis points, we can also get a trade deal. as it stands now with no trade deal in place, the markets are expecting basically three cuts this year. if we get the trade deal done before the fed cuts, maybe that's off the table all of the benefits from us actually agreeing to a trade deal could be offset by the fed taking themselves out of the running to actually move this market >> mark tepper, the president may have to be strategic and you were, mark thank you very much. all right. as we noted, president trump
