5:00 am
it is 5:00 a.m., here is your five at 5:00. it is jobs friday. the latest read on the u.s. labor market due at 8:30 a.m. eastern time the biggest economic numbers. a run from risk. global government bond yields trading near record lows we'll tell you what that says about the economy around the world. a warning. samsung expecting a drop in profits and it's blaming the u.s./china trade dispute that's coming up shaken, a 6.4 magnitude
5:01 am
earthquake rattling california, the strongest quake in two decades. and trouble for big tech names out there. apple and facebook both experiencing outages over the fourth of july holiday it's friday, july 5th. "worldwide exchange" begins right now. ♪ good morning welcome to "worldwide exchange." i'm dominic chu. brian sullivan is off today. here is how your money and the global markets are setting up. stock futures now pointing to a slightly lower open. the dow will go down by 38 points if these futures losses hold into regular cash trading you can see the s&p off by 5 points the nasdaq down by 10. the bond market right now in focus ahead of that big jobs number in the united states. ten-year u.s. government note yields ticking slightly higher, just a hair below 1.97%.
5:02 am
1.78% for the two-year note yield. on the european side of things, worth noting what's going on with the european bonds especially the german ten-year government bund. you can see there that bund trading at negative 39 basis points negative yields, though slightly higher there the ten-year gilt in london 69 basis points joining me now is sven hendrick. we set up the global picture ahead of a huge jobs number coming up. what exactly is the market set up going into this do you expect any big market reaction out of today's jobs number >> the market obviously watches now the nfp report in regards to the federal reserve, because all eyes on the fed in july, whether they'll cut, how much are they going to cut, whether it's 25 basis points or 50 basis points. so depending on the reaction to that, we may see some up or down
5:03 am
princip i'm fascinated by reaching these new highs despite the complete collapse in global yields. the ten-year is down to 1.95, 1.97%, 40% below where it was in november no one had predicted this. all the economists were looking at 2.5 to 3.5% for 2019. it hasn't happened and so we areseeing basically kind of what we've seen in past cycles when cycles come to an end, we have low unemployment, we still see markets making new highs, all these warning signs are being ignored. dropping of yields, inversion of yield curves, growth slowing, all of these things which we're currently seeing not only globally but in the u.s. >> that all sounds negative, sven doesn't sound like you're positive does that mean yields globally could still go down more as people fly to the safety of government bonds in the face of what you call that slowing
5:04 am
environment? >> well, the thing is, we're not at new highs because of earnings growth or revenue growth, but it's because of the drop in yields and central banks are once again cutting rates and adding more stimulus that has to be concerning to everyone for ten years we've been promised growth to come. we have the longest expansion on record, but it's also the slowest expansion. it's come at a steep price debt to gdp increased from 65% to 105%. we hahave trillion dollar defict and growth is slowing. the fed promised inflation targets. the dotplot has turned into a fantasy plot it never worked out. the only thing they've been able to do is asset inflation
5:05 am
asset price inflation. not inflation in the real economy as they measure it none of the central banks have normalized so we're sitting at 225 basis points on the fed funds rate they're looking to cut again i'm sorry, but there's a big gap in narrative that is a problem. obviously at the end of the day we keep repeating the same cycle over and over, which is lower rates at the end of each fed rate hiking cycle. we're adding more debt and producing marginally less growth each time around we'll cut rates again. >> does that mean you fight the fed? you fight the ecb, you fight these easing authorities? they have a lot of fire power, and at this point markets keep making record highs. do you buy these highs because the momentum still goes higher or are you waiting for a pullback >> it's a very good question there's no doubt this must be fully acknowledged, federal
5:06 am
reserve and central banks have once again in 2019 demonstrated their power in markets they keep managing to come in whenever there is a pullback, you see speeches by central bankers such as jerome powell come in as he did at the beginning of june, markets were correcting, he came in with a speech and prices here back at new highs. so it's a very difficult environment to navigate. it's al none of these new highs have been confirmed on the indexes m stocks are not participating in this from a technical perspective i'm looking at the price range between 2990 to 3050 there's a lot of technical resistance ahead of us here. and if markets cannot sustain a move above that, then we're looking at what is called a broadening wedge pattern it's basically a megaphone if markets cannot cross above this trend line that i'm showing
5:07 am
on this chart and sustain a move above that, the technical pattern, if the fundamentals which are telling a different story bear out, we can target the lower trend line which is around 2100 to 2200. that's a different story it's basically confirming what the bond market is already saying the ten-year is now back to levels of the u.s. election in 2016 this is where those prices would be heading to. >> got you a critical time in the markets always appreciate it thank you for those thoughts another big company is talking about the impact of the u.s./china trade war today frank holland has news from samsung. >> good morning. samsung warning second quarter profits are expected to drop by 56%. this would be the third straight decline in quarterly profit. operating profit is forecasted to drop to 5$5.5 billion, it

we're seeing the ten-year treasury note yield at 1.965%. the two-year treasury note yield at 1.78% in trade war news, an important china state media blog is warning if the u.s. flip-flops on the talks, beijing will hold off on buying more u.s. agricultural goods. eunice yoon has that story i thought this was a done deal here they were going to buy more stuff, especially on the farm side of things >> not necessarily this blog's anonymous author is believed to have special insight into beijing's strategy for negotiating on trade the author posted a commentary today saying if the u.s. flip-flops in the negotiations, the promises to buy american agricultural products will also be overturned. this piece comes after the hong kong newspaper had quoted
5:14 am
sources as saying that china was holding off on buying american agricultural products because it wanted to fest gauge what the white house's policy would be towards huawei exactly whether or not it's going to ease restrictions on the national tech champion the commerce ministry on thursday had flagged beijing's concerns that the u.s. might not make good on what the chinese see as president trump's promise. so the commerce ministry said u.s. companies should be allowed to sell to huawei right away in addition the ministry has been stressing the u.s. needs to make sure it lifts off the tariffs. this is one of the preconditions for the trade talks. the trade representatives office said the two sides are going to be arranging a phone conversation for the top negotiators as early as next week and for the chinese, it looks very much like the fate of huawei is quickly moving up to the top of the agenda.
5:15 am
dom? >> i thought huawei and trade were separate. how much is this going to be really centered on whether or not there can be just one sti sticking point in huawei resolve before anything goes forward with trade talks it used to be things like int le intellectual property and forced tech transfer. >> the u.s. has stressed before that huawei was going to be a separate issue from the trade talks. since the weekend it's become quite clear from the chinese side they believe huawei is front and center in the trade talks. i think that's probably going to make things a lot more complicated in the discussions if they do happen next week. >> eunice yoon, thank you very much for that update appreciate it. still on deck, not one but two major tech companies facing outages in recent days why facebook and apple left users wanting their photos back.

>> thank you very much for those updates. joining me is rob morgan, chief investment officer from seffi financial. the jobs number today, we oftentimes say it's the most important jobs report since the last jobs report it might hold a little bit more water this time around because we priced in expectation that the fed could cut rates later on this month >> yeah. absolutely and, you know, the adp employment report which comes out two days prior, sometimes it's a harbinger of what the jobs report will be. it was disappointing since the economy is slowing, it wouldn't surprise me to see a disappointment today i think the expectation is 170,000 jobs it's the most important number until we get the july report >> our markets, do they have it
5:34 am
correct? are we expecting to see the data continue to soften to the point where the fed will cut interest rates this month and perhaps later on this year as well i think for a while, yes we will continue to see softening of data. i don't think the data will fall off a cliff. but i do think the fed has got it right i don't want them to pull the rate cut trigger too quickly maybe that's one area where i differ with the market the market is expecting a rate cut pretty soon. i would like to get more data in personally if i were on the fomc but basically the fed is following the game plan that the market seems to be telling them. >> the argument has been made, quite forcefully so, that the stock market and bond market rallied to the levels they're at

slightly larger. >> it wasn't that long ago you were with us saying you felt like the u.s. still represented the best value given all of the stuff that's been happening around the world we had the momentum. why has it shifted on your end to international being the better bargain versus the u.s. market >> a couple of reasons there i mentioned the dollar that could be weakening a bit also, too, i think that with the trade war that's going on, unless the talks break off completely, which i don't see happening, i think probably just about the worst has been baked into the equity markets with trade talks. given that, i don't think we'll
5:37 am
get a grand overriding agreement between the u.s. and china i think the issues on intellectual property -- there's a big gap there. but we'll be at least able to kick the can down the road, keep talks going. this could go on for quite awhile i think the worst has been baked into the stock market from that. >> rob morgan, appreciate it. bain capital and the carlyle group have agreed to buy osram for $4 billion they make l.e.d. lights and lights for stage and film sets and growing plants indoors in the u.s. it owns the sylvania brand. osram backs the buyout bid shares are higher today after jumping 13% on wednesday the uk's antitrust regulator is considering whether to launch a probe into amazon's investment in food delivery service
