tv Squawk on the Street CNBC September 17, 2019 9:00am-11:00am EDT
9:00 am
steep declines we saw yesterday, wti and brent down by 14%. for brent, that was the biggest decline they have seen since they have been keeping records in 1988 on that. all right, folks, have a great day today. join us tomorrow right now it is time for "squawk on the street. ♪ >> good tuesday morning. welcome to "squawk on the street." i'm carl quintanilla with jim cramer and david faber a lot of corporate news from wework to fedex to at&t. fed begins a two day meeting, overnight repo squeeze getting interesting. the saudis make their first official comments today. road map begins with just call it we wait wework delaying the ipo rollout plans after a frosty investor response >> we're going get a look at kraft highs around the belt. the second largest shareholder,
9:01 am
the private equity giant 3g capital sold 20 million shares but there is a reason behind it. >> stocks are set to open slightly lower >> we'll start off with that wework news, of course sort of trickling out yesterday, after the close. a delay in the planned public offering that has been so, well, such a focus over the last few weeks. as the price at least that wework thought it would get for its shares has rapidly declined over concerns about its business model, over concerns about governance, ever since they actually issued the s1, which mr. cramer didn't take a fancy too, a lot of this goes back to mr. adam newman, the man who founded the company and runs it. and this has been a chaotic process. having reported on it now for a couple of weeks, i can sort of tell you i've never seen anything quite like this in terms of the disarray in preparing for a public offering.
9:02 am
and i guess what was clear and perhaps funlly made clear to them was they weren't ready. they were not ready to actually face potential shareholders at this point one wonders why, for example, they didn't clear up all the governance issues a long time ago prioring to fi ing tto fili dribbled them out with significant changes designed to enhance the offering they weren't able to get there, not in the price they were willing to accept. i thought perhaps that some of this delay was due to increased tension between wework's largest shareholder, massa and mr. neuman that doesn't appear to be the case i understand that softbank was willing to come in with a billion dollar private parallel
9:03 am
private placement that they were going to go in for, at the ipo price, whatever that would have been, and then they would have had had their warrants, remember the warrants they received when they did that deal earlier this year, that valued this company at 47 billion, they got warrants, those would have been repriced masa would have gotten something for playing here even so, even at2 billion, apparently they were unable to at least find a deep enough market at a price they were willing to sell at so they're going to wait the question becomes, is waiting really going to help is 30 days enough for them to get their act together for perhaps mr. neumann to listen to the advice that was given, they're going to report a quarter or update the s1 filing with new numbers from the third quarter, from what i hear. those numbers are expected to be quite strong, perhaps able to get a narrative around that and
9:04 am
the growth in the business, jim, but it has been one -- just a series of missteps here. easy to say, of course where you are forced to delay something like this. but i have to say, in reporting on it, and talking to many people around it, everybody is throwing their hands up. >> look. you've got a situation where he gives a new name to the company, and it is worse than the name, takes money, takes stock, then has to break that and take it back you have the $700 million that was taken out in loans and stock sales. and all you can possibly think of is this is some private company where it is like a mom and pop company. trying to bring it to -- $3 billion deal i think that the -- if there is such a thing as corporate governance, it certainly seems to eseparavade the thinking of . neumann. >> snap went public with terrible governance, no votes whatsoever
9:05 am
investors seem to put those things aside had they feel like the business model makes sense and there an opportunity to make money. i think you have to twin it here with both the lack of governance, coupled with the concerns about the overall business. >> look, you read the articles, i read the articles, i google every article there are many articles that say it is worthless. it is a highly unusual thing to read articles that say the company is worthless if it doesn't get the money. that's amazing to me >> they burn through a lot of money. >> i think this is one that the market just rebelled against i was calling for that >> this deal has to be stopped >> that needs to change to get this to market, i don't know, in october or by the end of the year >> i think you have to see some increase in the margins. i think you have to see an acceleration of revenue growth, you have to believe there is a
9:06 am
path -- >> in the next, what, eight weeks. >> seems unlikely. though, again, these third quarter numbers may be something they can hang on >> maybe they have that. sometimes you do these deals, there is something in the pocket that makes it so you want to >> some of it may come down to just -- there are certain processes you go through to come to market with your company. and they didn't seem to really follow any traditional playbook or rules and everything i heard is that mr. neumann was not taking advice from those in the position to give it that might have been worthwhile >> anybody that knows mr. neu n neumann knows he's a blast, he does what he wants he's a free wheeler. >> he's king. >> he's the king he's the king. i have to tell you that the king in this case had no clothes.
9:07 am
the market doesn't want it you may change, you can change the name of the dog food, put new and improved on it, but the dogs won't eat it, there is nothing you can do they don't know it is new and improved they see it and say this smells bad. >> i've sean that happen. >> stocks are set to add to losses from yesterday when crude jumped 14% in reaction to the saudi oil attacks. all this as the fed begins a two-day meeting with an interest rate decision due tomorrow bmo out on this repo squeeze establishes that funding markets are not functioning particularly well this is a one off or evidence of some more troubling developments is a crucial question in the coming days. >> last i would say half hour, i got half a dozen people saying you got to talk about it every one of them i go back and say, tell me explain it to me.
9:08 am
>> i tried to understand, i called somebody i spoke to, same thing, reached out to me, via text, had i don't hear from very often. and i said, explain it to me >> i want to know. i'm all ears. >> nobody seems to know exactly why and in is a question as to whether the fed will need to step in, in some fashion here. something going on of significance. >> yes, i feel terrible we said that, to have a story that we don't noknow the answer to maybe somebody will answer it. >> bmo says you have a combination of corporate tax payments do, coupon settlements, but for the time being, they say we're skeptical it is sufficient to warrant a reactionary fed response just yet. bmo's words. ten-year high in the rate. and discussion about whether the fed is somehow losing control of this preferred band of funding >> everything gets lent out overnight, for leverage.
9:09 am
for collateral >> does the fed -- very interesting the fed might have to step in. >> we need to do more reporting on this, this morning. we'll try. >> we don't note answer. >> no. a developing story. >> wow >> developing story. >> developing story. >> meantime, the saudis did have an official comment, the saudi king salman saying the country is capable of dealing with the attacks, calling on all governments to confront the perpetrators regardless of their origin and then the ceo of chevron had some comments on how the rest of the world may respond. >> in a short-term there is not a lot of impact that you'll see on u.s. oil production because there is a lead time and even in shale, which has been a driving growth in the u.s. you can't just flip a switch and see more oil coming to the
9:10 am
market there is months of lead time in standing up new rigs and actually bringing on additional production so in the very short-term, there is not a lot that can happen in the medium term, there can be a fair amount. >> jpm had a note out of the quantity desk, no negative impact until 80, 85. >> rush brazil, the best oil expert in the country, does give me the forward curve, the forward curve out to 2021 is 5052 nothing changed. mike, i love mike. mike worth he's right you get a couple of pipe lines put in, you get -- you can accrue by rail we control the price of oil. we control it. out four years, we're just going to be pumping 17 million barrels. remember, they don't -- he talks
9:11 am
about flip a switch. it goes the other way too. the late aubrey mcclenen used to talk about look, we don't stop pumping because there is no demand we just pump >> access to a study supply of oil used to be a national security concern it no longer is. so should we be necessarily responding militarily in the same way we might have 20, 30, 40 years ago when the oil supply is unchanged when the oil -- >> yeah, that's a -- it is no longer the case. it is a security issue. >> it was. but the president making it clear yesterday it is not. >> it went back. the led story in the journal, listen, he doesn't -- don't take me that seriously. but it depends on the tweet. >> meantime, the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, requested a briefing for house members on the aramco bombing and iran. you're going to know nor about this soon because you talked to her. >> when you hear that, it is like you got your notes, about what you're going to ask her,
9:12 am
now ask about the question in briefing speaker pelosi, very funny, i asked, please, send me tweets, majority of tweets, could you get it is that we -- the government does something? it is not so polarized can you get it, you're in a position, madam speaker, to be able to make it so that maybe things could get better in the country. i like that. she is someone who is viewed as someone who can still build a consensus. they're not many people left who can build a consensus. >> no. >> no. more so take to that. >> i don't i -- i did >> same thing to say about the repo >> i'm working on it >> i think you ought to build -- >> a developing story. >> developing story. sorry. >> and then we have one more nbc universal is announced new details on its upcoming streaming service. moments ago, the ad supported direct to consumer platform will be called peacock and will officially launch in april 2020
9:13 am
with a lineup of more than 15,000 hours of content including some new reboots of classic shows like battlestar galacticia, saved by the bell, on the day where stevenson, your are heading over to cornucopia, sounding like an up-front presentation, more than a spectrum discussion today at at&t >> yes, mr. stevenson presenting this morning at the goldman cornucopia conference as you say. top of mind is elliott, which only a little more than a week ago, revealed more than a 1% position first time we heard from mr. stevenson since then he seemed to indicatein his comments that there were certain things that elliott said they could necessarily already are agreeing on and/or at least moving on. but this is going to take some time i haven't talked about it a bit. not as though i haven't been hearing from people involved and i think the nominating window is january 27th there isn't a sense in the at&t
9:14 am
side they have to move quickly here in responding but they will over time and we'll see if they get to some sort of happy medium or place with elliott in terms of whatever their demands were. that's one of the key things here they didn't necessarily ask for -- they asked for better management, they clearly indicated mr. sank stankey is choice got some data indicates, he's very comfortable with in fact john stankey being the man who takes over for him stankey will move into that coo rool role in a permanent way and find someone to run the warner ass assets, a deep and long track record in media. we'll see who that person will be. >> the story is floating he's out. he's done, he's retiring >> randall >> yeah. >> no. >> why would the stories appear? >> i think the quote was the board hasn't told me i'm retiring so, yeah >> we can make up stuff all day.
9:15 am
and then have other shows shoot it down and be breaking news >> there is an expectation given he has an anointed successor at this point which the board was fully involved with. not as though randall said it will be stankey and the board -- the board had a list of people, the board has chosen mr. stankey at this point. elliott, not necessarily -- >> we have breaking news >> industrial production let's get to rick santelli rick >> yes, our august treat on industrial production is up much stronger than expected, up .6. this is three times the expectation. we have a positive revision from what was originally released down .2. now standing at down .1. and if we look at what is going on with regard to utilization rates, well, utilization rates are 77.9 77.9 that is also better than expected and follows 77.5 so these aren't bad numbers.
9:16 am
and 77.9 is best number going back to march. now we will still have more information today, treasury international capital flows, but as you have discussed today, what is going on in the repo market is going to be a big deal in front of a fed meeting, maybe interest on reserves and all the supply is coming home to roost carl, jim, david, back to you. >> quick, is the repo squeeze here concerning to you or what >> well, i think it is concerning to me, but for maybe different reasons. everybody is concerned they want it to stop in my opinion, we have done many things, we had many policies that are caused this small accident intersection that could get bigger and, of course, what is the answer to go down deeper into the rabbit hole, more qe, lower rates, i guess the issue isn't what is happening, the issue is why and do we have to do more of what we shouldn't have done to correct it. >> but, rick, can these things
9:17 am
spiral is that a concern at all and does the fed need to be aware -- >> consider this, how many times have we and many guests on our show said that all the supply, all the debt, all the deficit and, look at what interest rates are doing. this is the disconnect that we have consider the most viable answer, lower rates and buying more long dated treasuries in a way, the distortion continues to mask all the supply that was masked by lower interest rates that were manipulated and not market driven. >> someone has to fund someone is in trouble getting funding. someone. >> right >> dollar is popular these days. rick, thanks we'll get cramer's mad dash, count down to the opening bell when we're back in a minute. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

9:31 am
he also is the full forefront, a huge number of charities so he got -- it is not i was with someone, they're adopting policies that sound good, this man has done so much, and the one i want to point out, i work with him on veterans day show, he is out there talking about suicide and soldiers and nobody really wants to talk about that except for him. >> there have been some companies leading the charge, comcast, anthony noto. >> former army guy these guys, army is good looks good this year. >> does it >> yes >> michigan game, geez that was crazy. >> army's schedule is not an easy schedule. >> i haven't focused on army's football schedule. >> good team >> had been a little bit focused on kraft heinz this morning. >> back to business now?
9:32 am
>> this is a story we have spent a lot of time talking about from a fundamental perspective, deterioration for quite some time and a portfolio out of favor. this morning, the news that has the stock down is the fact that 3g, the largest holder with berkshire hathaway sold 25 million shares at $28.44 a share. this is according to an s.e.c. filing by the way, 3g still owns 245 million shares also, jorge paulo limon, founder of 3g but some kraft heinz personally most importantly, again, like the repo story, don't have the entire story here, aki batista, remember this name, billionaire ended up in jail, and was released about a month ago from jail apparently he's a large investor in 3g. and he needs money and so they're selling these
9:33 am
schauers s shares in part on behalf of mr. batista. i want to make sure it is correct, but it very well is likely the case here that this is a sale in part being done because mr. batista needs liquidity and is not necessarily a reflection one way or the other at this point of 3g getting out of kraft heinz only selling 10% of the overall -- >> that's important. i would point out there has been a renaissance in earnings and a lot of consumer product stocks, mondelez, general mills about to report soon, really having come back a lot, the carbonated soft drink stocks are doing quite well procter & gamble, i'm interviewing mr. taylor and nelson peltz on thursday for delivering alpha this is the outlier now. it is not like -- this is now the outlioutlier >> it is the outlier

leap, not that hi lean not that high and we should worry. >> you think the price of oil is not going to stay up, this is a short-term move. >> that and funding are two issues that we could spend the next 25 minutes on and we may actually be wasting it >> i see. >> versus talking about the shopify secondary. 1.9 million shares talking about the fun coe shareholder, 4 million shares. there is a lot of stock coming out, insiders, that's a bad sign. >> this is -- back to 329, this is -- these are nonvoting class as, right? >> $400 stock a few weeks ago. that's pretty interesting. by the way, horning, people read through xilinx. >> read through to xilinx, with the -- okay. >> short fall. >> this week, the corning guide cut and the new core guide cut are the two big ones of the week. >> i talked to john, who is
9:37 am
retiring at year end and he's 66. that's young new core is the only -- new core's last man standing, okay it is last man standing in the steel -- if you feel the economy will reaccelerate, buy it here, and i do think that their balance heat is great, dividend is safe, they have a tremendous reputation no losses, like the southwest air of the steel business and i like them. fedex putting through price increases, nobody likes that i don't know, to me, price increases means you maybe the quarter. >> when they report after the bell. >> expect fred smith to bash the tariffs. they spent year building up the chinese business so hard to do. and they have been one of the best at it. >> guys, sony, we have been watching for some time, remember third point large owner there, has asked for certain things, we did get a long statement from sony this morning. this may be ahead of what i believe is their invite only
9:38 am
technology show in japan tomorrow morning it is almost -- this is not cornucopia related this is what sony had to say the board make up most of it, a lot of different experiences, but the main thing here is they're keeping the semiconductor business, best strategy for enhancing sony's corporate value over the long-term, based on the fact that the business a crucial growth driver for sony, expected to create more value going forward and talk about close collaboration with other businesses inside the sony group. that is something that third point asked for being potentially jetsoned they're not going to do it no mention of the entertainment assets here. this is far from over. but the reason for the statement does appear to be this large conference or meeting they're having tomorrow, not cornucopia related. did you know that sony's purpose is to fill the world with emotion, higher creativity and technology >> really? >> that's that it says fill the world with emotion.
9:39 am
>> i like to build -- i like to sing a world a song. >> i thought that's very nice. always good to know your purpose. and so they do have a long letter if you're a sony shareholder, may take a look at it the question is what if anything is third point going to say. randall stephenson talking with bob bakish, the ceo of viacom, soon to be viacom cvs and charlie ergen is speaking from dish a lot of attention. >> we're looking forward to that, a lot of questions you might imagine from mr. ergen in terms of will he be able to successfully set up the competitor is he going to have partners so many different -- not clear what he's going to say today. >> how about aria manual full disclosure, this is kind of
9:40 am
the picks and shovels and pans for gold that they're doing it for all this town. >> yeah. >> interesting this deal is coming public and not talked about enough in public filing yesterday could be an interesting -- >> i agree as you're talking, oil is down 250 as the reuters has a headline now, oil output will return to normal levels quicker than initially thought reuters citing two sources briefed on saudi oil. >> we have fake news then, earlier this morning it was going to be it is going to take longer the market is saying it is going to come in, should buy southwest air. >> i told you the curve says -- the curve -- continental is down >> oil related sto ed stocks wet significant.

9:44 am
>> yes, yes. >> so s&p managed to go into the green. let's get to bob pisani. >> happy tuesday, everybody. we are flat essentially but the trend here is the big cyclical rally we saw, it is starting to look a little old and little long in the tooth. let's look at the major sectors here china is impacting, the weak industrial production numbers still impacting, we're down almost 2% in shanghai, so metals and mining have been weak. china shares are weak here in the u.s., banks are weak, retails are a little on the weak side, energy has been down all throughout the morning, saw oil moving down on some of the recent headlines here. this was that big cyclical trade that was powerful in the last week and a half. see it slowing down a little bit. moving markets, we have the fed meeting today, a real dilemma here, we had great industrial production numbers in the u.s. as opposed to china, which had disappointing industrial production numbers yesterday the fed is in a conundrum about how strong they want to be on keep cutting rates story
9:45 am
china's slowdown is continuing, that's out there that's a big issue retail sales were weak as well over there the big problem is we're in this nothing area on earnings, are we at a global bottom in the business cycle or not? nobody knows so it is -- you're not hearing a lot about earnings right now it not clear that direction we're going in that's going to be a little bit of a problem see the malaise in the bank of america's monthly report, fund survey, i love watching this, it is fairly large, a good contrarian indicator look at the merrill lynch fund survey said right now, 38%, expected recession of next year, about 150 big global fund managers, that's high. 59% say no recession this is a good contrarian indicator, remember, fear level is very high what are they most afraid of, obviously the trade war, that has been the big issue, 40% cited as the number one fear this is interesting, many feel that central banks may not be effective anymore. i haven't seen that before bond market bubble, china slowdown, that's been around for a while.

creating a bit of a shortage how can you explain it easily? as the options come up, you have to pull out your wallet. to pull out your wallet, you might have securities lent to somebody else who can't get the money to give it to you. making a long story short, short term funding should have moderated after the options settled but they haven't that big question mark has many answers the market is grappling with that hasn't affected treasuries in a big way. i think the run-up in treasuries after the august route is all part of that whole issue and then add in the dollar which isn't actually higher yet, but it may quickly look at one week of 10s we elevated down a bit that 190 yield, if you open a chart up to july of 2019, you can see that we had the big drop and we're coming back. all of that makes things a bit dicey. when you look at bunds, they lowered their rates, they're bring quantitative easing back but our markets are in control again and as you see the spread widening let's look at year to date of the treasury vix, think the vix

week and another warning from the chief economist robert dietz, builders are expressing growing concerns regarding uncertain uncertainty stemming from the trade dispute from china and the slowing in the manufacturing sector is holding back some parts of the nation. back to you guys. >> thank you very much. good tuesday morning welcome back to "squawk on the street." i'm carl quintanilla with sara eisen and david faber. markets down 72 on the dow but pretty good numbers out of both the nahb and industrial production earlier this morning. >> our road map for the hour starts with oil. it's sliding right now after its biggest jump yesterday in more than a decade. how to play the volatility with the fed kicking off its two-day meeting. >> kraft heinz in a pickle what's sending the stock lower >> wework delays plans to go public we'll fill you in on the latest. >> let's start with the crazy moves in oil, extending losses right now on headlines that saudi output will be fully back
10:02 am
on-line in two to three weeks. this after oil posted its biggest gain in more than a decade on the saudi attacks. brian sullivan joins us with the latest >> sara, good morning. we're at the gas tech conference in houston gains today, gone tomorrow good grief you are right. the only people winning at this are the volatility players some of the equities, heavily shorted stocks, rising 30, 40, 50%. today as you noted at the top we're seeing oil both here and brent crude come down. there's two real reasons because you have a geo political thaw and some positive headlines about when this oil will be back optionmonster. let's focus on the first iran says they're not behind it. trump says no reason for any kind of a military action now. macron head of france saying he hopes this doesn't disrupt thaw in getting iran sanctions taken off the table. geopolitically maybe for now it didn't heat up as much as some had thought. from a fundamental perspective, wires crossing that saudis hope to have about 70% of the lost
10:03 am
production on-line in two to three weeks. 70%, that's 4 million barrels if my math is correct that should come back on-line. they hope to be fully back on-line in two to three weeks. you might have a short period where there's still half a million, million and a half barrels a day shortfall. of course opec has spare capacity of 2 to 3 million barrels a day. the market obviously feels right now that it's well supplied. i will just say this, and i'm not discounting what the saudis say because they know, it's their facility, this is what's called a gas/oil separation plan that's what was attacked at abqaiq i had a chance to talk to guys -- i'm at an oil and gas conference that are technical experts. it's a complicated plant that does complicated things so i do wonder if once they get further in there, if that could be pushed up or pushed back it's like when a tree falls on to your roof the contractor says i will have it done in a week, you hope they're right but they might

find other things. the markets are calming down a bit but what a 48 hours for the price of oil >> you said it, brian. past 48 minutes for that matter. brian sullivan always bringing clarity to the energy complex. joining us to discuss the attacks and the whipsaw action this morning, is fellow oil man harold hamm. chairman and ceo of continental resources. welcome back good to talk to you again. >> you bet, carl good to be with you this morning. >> i don't know if you've seen these reuters headlines but they seem to be quoting sources saying that supply could come back on within two to three weeks. do you believe it? >> you know, we're in a very dynamic industry and a lot of speculation around timing and all that i think we just have to look to the long term. i hope there's not any counter attacks over there that would further disrupt the entire market but one thing about it, about 20% of the world's oil examines
10:05 am
o comes out of this recently and it's a very volatile area. we've known that for a long time the good thing about u.s. energy independence is that we don't have to rely on it so much still yet, we're in a commodity business and you take oil off anywhere in the world and it affects the rest of the world. i think that, you know, when we produce so much oil here, we've had it before an embedded premium risk measure price of, you know, maybe 10 to $15 a barrel, and that kind of vanished over the last two or three years. i would say that doesn't stay with the price going forward there's a lot of risk over there and it's been an unstable region of the world >> so how do you think, harold, about the price movements right now? did we get a big enough jump that it would spur some kind of
10:06 am
extra cap x from your company and other oil companies we could see the u.s. ramp up production? >> you know, we've been working with an oversupplied market for the last five years and the market has basically told operators in this country, you know, you need to stay with the capx, you don't need to outspend make sure you have cash flow, free cash flow all those things that basically make up capital discipline certainly our company is going to do that, and i think other operators in this country will do the same. we want to meet demand, that's for sure, but, you know, these short-term spikes are shortages in the market is not something that you're going to change. everything you do on your budget within a year. we're going to stay where we're at for the time being. >> interesting harold, you think this risk premium sticks around because of
10:07 am
the evolution of these weapons that the rebels are able to use or is it something else? >> well, all those things. you know, this has always been an unstable region, you know, and for as long as i remember having been this business a very long time, and it's going to continue yeah, for all those sophisticated weapons, certainly and you've got a lot of friction that's going on there going within with the iranian sanctions, a threat of a nuclear weapon, all those things, so this is going to remain a very unstable region for as long as i can perceive yes, i think that embedded premium that the analysts are projecting i think it's a good possibility that's sticking. >> harold, i believe you're
10:08 am
still pretty close with the president. i know you're a big donor and had a good relationship with him. have you had any conversations with president trump about the events of this weekend and how he's thinking about responding with the strategic oil reserve or potential counterattack against iran >> there's been conversations with the white house, not directly with the president. the president, of course, has been very busy this weekend. the president has done great things with the energy industry in the u.s there's a lot more to do particularly with the infrastructure and things like that to make sure that we have a very strong industry here, but the response from the white house has been right on exactly. they haven't overreacted because, you know, what we have here in the u.s., commercial
10:09 am
storage, all those things that basically work in a situation like this. >> sounds like you don't think we're going to need to tap the reserve here >> no, that's not necessary at all. there's a lot of commercial storage in the world, some 4 billion barrels, a lot is in this country right here we have 39 million barrels, so a lot of storage can be pulled forward to take care of the supply situation. >> really quickly, harold, i mean does it make you question the vulnerability of u.s. oil facilities if saudi's biggest facility was vulnerable to a drone strike like this >> you know, we're safer here in america, thank goodness, so we don't sweat it too much. we do have a lot of storage in one place, curbing, oklahoma,
10:10 am
it's no secret, and the gulf coast facilities will equally become important we have a lot of export facilities, exporting up to about 5 million barrels a day to the international market so yeah those things could be somewhat vulnerable, but thank goodness for the security we have in the united states. >> harold, that's good guidance, especially on a day where people aren't really sure what to believe. thanks for that. we'll see you soon harold hamm. >> thank you while we work, the we company has decided to postpone its initial public offering. late yesterday however, the company and its various advisors and potential underwriters backed off from that plan. there simply did not seem to be
10:11 am
enough demand in the marketplace for what would have been 2 dlb worth of stock or as much as $3 billion, at least at the price that wework was hoping it might able to attain, even though that price is far below what even just a few weeks ago it had hoped to attain as an overall view for the company it has been a chaotic process to say the least, judging at least from the many conversations i've had with many people who are involved or have been involved a lot of different decisions made or not made that seems to have really made it very difficult for the company to meet the expectations of shareholders in terms of at least what they wanted to see for a growth profile for the company. the questions, of course, raised about its business model and governance as well, given those questions about the business model and coupled with
10:12 am
what did not appear to be strong governance at all. one key aspect, of course, of this has been the relationship between wework, its founder and ceo adam neumann and masa son who had that fund invest as much as $10.5 billion in wework i'm told that massa was ready to come in, in the form of a billion dollar private placement, to the ipo, if you want to call that's or at least to the fundraising so they would have go out public with $2 billion needed to be raised. he was going to have his warrants that had previously been received by softbank in the deal they did earlier this year reprised at the ipo price, so that was not the issue, even though many people thought that perhaps animosity or at least tension between mr. newman and
10:13 am
mr. mass a may have been one reason why there was a delay not that, just really a lack of demand we've talked about it coming down from $20 billion to 18 to 15, to 12. the question is would they have been able to do it at a $12 billion overall valuation. >> which gets into the next question which is will they ever be able to do it what will change in the delay? they can make more governance changes but you have questions to the path of profitability. >> it's a great question 30 days is not a lot it will give them an opportunity perhaps to just get it together. i know there's no other way to say it, but this has been a process that in some ways has been in disarray in terms of at least my conversations with people around it and their frustration with certain things. the only other thing that could help them is new numbers and they are going to have an opportunity to report or update their s1 with new third quarter
10:14 am
numbers. those conceivably will be strong and that perhaps is something they can start to build a narrative around >> his wife will no longer be picking the successor? >> no. that was out last week that's right >> that was an interesting twist. >> you get to pick my successor as governance here on "squawk on the street." >> when we return kraft heinz getting squeezed later on halftime don't miss more big name interviews together on space. more "squawk on the street" coming up. e w dn thdoisow62 when i lost , my biggest fear was losing my independence. mmm... good. so i've spent my life developing technology to help the visually impaired. we are so good. we built a guide that uses ibm watson... to help the blind. it is already working in cities like tokyo.

. we've got new cnbc data this morning on the potential federal reserve rate cuts and president trump's handing of the economy all ahead of the fed meeting decision tomorrow. steve liesman joins us with the results. good morning. >> thanks very much. expectations for tomorrow among our cnbc fed survey respondent, 43 fund managers, strategists and analysts as well 100% say 25 basis points cut coming at the meeting announced tomorrow 92% say that rate cut will come in december. just 25 cut not a 50 and then 1.6 the average for next year. perhaps another one coming in 2020 at the same time they've done this, they've raised or ratcheted up the chance of recession. see now it's nearly 32%, the
10:18 am
second highest as we've been doing this survey. one, two, three, this is the fourth peak. there's been no recession after it each one of these peaks, though, is associated with a change in federal reserve policy you can also see that last year it was below 20% it's high. now, recession is not the base case slower growth is the base case for the group. take a look at the change. 2.5 was the q4 number for 2018 1.8 in 20 and towards trend, 2% in 2021 with a decline in the outlook for growth, a decline in the president's economic approval rating. this group you can see, generally supportive of the president's handling of the economy. once, twice, now a third time dipped below 50% this is a 20-point drop, the most precipitous we've seen. if you do the net, approval minus disapproval, only two
10:19 am
points, the lowest of the president's tenure right now a big part of the reason they don't really approve of the trade policies and don't agree with the president criticizing the federal reserve. the ceo of tripoint global equities says the tariffs are starting to have a detrimental effect on small business that will compound as time goes on and will have a material effect on the economy jim paulsen writing in chief investment strategist says i believe the degree of economic policy stimulus that has been unleashed by the private market has been greatly under appreciated. we'll see which one wins out here the stimulus from the federal reserve and lower rates or the tariffs, the trade and the global economic weakness believed to be dragging growth down sara >> stay with us if you would we want to talk about the broader global economy, the outlook ahead of the fed meeting and some funny things happening in the bond market joining us former chair of the economic council of adviser
10:20 am
austin goolsbee. in terms of the whole rate cut debate for tomorrow, we just got a pretty strong manufacturing number, industrial production rebounding in august the stock market is 1% off a record high. does it still make sense for the fed to be cutting rates tomorrow >> i kind of think it probably still does make sense for the fed to cut rates it was good to get the strong manufacturing number because it follows a couple of months of fairly weak and surprisingly weak numbers, but as steve will tell you, as the fed was running up the rates i was pretty skeptical because it didn't seem like if you looked at conditions, that they -- that they were so much better that they would warrant tightening. i don't think that one or two small better than expected numbers ought to change it from that path. >> that's a good point also just wanted to bring into the conversation what everybody is buzzing about right now in the bond market and beyond
10:21 am
we got this cost of borrowing surging overnight in the repo market i mean it's short-term lending market, of course. whenever that happens it makes people worry about lehman and credit tightening and dollar shortage i'm wondering how big of a deal you make of this and how you can explain why people are paying attention to it? >> okay. it's a touch premature i do appreciate why you're asking the question. the markets are abuzz with what's going on. this is, folks, this is plumbing and plumbing creates leaks and leaks can create damage. that's wait to think about it right now. sara is right, the overnight rate for repo, which is to finance paper out there, blew out. the fed came in and did an operation i understand withdrew that operation and spiked back up and western waiting i think in the last ten minutes or so, the fed injected $75 billion of liquidity into this olympvernigt market the reasons i'm hearing have to
10:22 am
do with perhaps corporate tax payments, perhaps end of the quarter stuff, and concern about the idea being i don't know if i'm going to be able to fund this paper so i go in and do it earlier and there's a huge demand it may be something that fed's liquidity can work out the reason why there's such concern and i don't want to raise the level of concern, this is what happened in '08 and '09. it was a real sign of problems out there. nobody i've talked to so far, sara, has gone that far and told me this is a big issue right now. yet, they're watching it and they're concerned. it is a blowout. it may be that it can be solved quickly. >> yeah. i mean really good explanation we haven't seen anything comparable in libor and other indicators >> good point. >> how do you think, austin, about these kind of indicators of potential growing stress in the system and how vulnerable we are right now? >> well, you know, our strongest part of our economy, which has still remained pretty strong, has to do with the job market and consumer confidence and
10:23 am
consumer spending. the weaker parts have been capital investment, kind of got a little softer, you see some of these plumbing issues. i wouldn't be surprised if they looked back and the diagnosis had something to do with the weird movements in the price of oil coming about from the events in the middle east maybe somebody's heavy in that space and they got some problems i think the danger would be, though the consumer confidence and consumer spending has been the thing kind of putting us up, that can change if confidence flips around and it can change pretty rapidly when we have had recessions, every single recession post-world war ii since we've been keeping the data, began with a big drop in consumer confidence i would just highlight we all got to keep an eye on those consumers and if tariff wars
10:24 am
escalating or gas prices going up or war in the middle east or any of those things were to flip that, then i think there would be some pretty serious danger ahead for -- regarding recession, not just slow down. >> steve, finally, fed funds futures suggesting maybe a chance that there is no cut this week what do you make of it is it overstate sfds. >> carl, remember i said that sara's question was premature. the reason is because i've not had a chance to report how the blowout in the repo rate is affecting the fed funds future market i would suggest right now, that estimate is correct that you read, but i would take it with a grain of salt. it strikes me that the blowout in the repo market is affecting the calculations in the fed funds but i have not had a chance to run that by the guys who calculate these fed funds probabilities. i would go and i would -- i would go with osurvey i believe there's 100% chance there's going to be a rate cut
10:25 am
i think that's the right way to think about it i think that that is probably what the futures should be showing, but i'm going to go and do the work on that now. >> bank of america has a note saying that repo pulls the fed funds affected rate higher. >> that's what i would have read before i came on, yes. >> i just have a final question, austin, maybe to tie everything together here with what you said it's about the u.s. consumer how do you think about this oil shock, double digit rise, one of the most historically big rallies we've seen in oil and whether the consumer in the u.s. in 2019 can handle that? >> well, i think -- if it's going to be this, the price is going to go way up one day and literally the next day is going to come way down, i don't think that will affect the consumers very much because where the rubber hits the road, if you want to call it that, is at the gas station and i don't think that gas stations get out and change the sign as frequently as that if this is a sign that we're going to have massive
10:26 am
uncertainty in the middle east and we might start seeing more cruise missile or drone attacks or saudi arabia is going to get in an extended conflict with iran, then i think for sure that's going to affect consumers because that's going to affect the price of oil it was good news to see oil going back to normal and them saying they're going to be able to get this back on-line >> yeah. for now. austin goolsbee, thank you steve liesman, thanks to you as well. >> pleasure. shares of kraft heinz are under pressure after 3g its largest owner disclosed it sold more than 25 million shares of the stock. 3g is the second largest after berkshire hathaway and owns about 245 million shares, roughly 20% of the company important to note here as well that jorge paolo lemann, one of the founding members and kraft board member increased his investment along with other 3g partners and acquired roughly
10:27 am
$200 million of the shares, about 28% of the 25 million that were sold and 3g goes on to say that the shares sales are driven by periodic lickedty requests by investors in the 3g funds. that's something i referenced earlier, however i am told that speculation that one of the potential sellers or people who needed liquidity was batista, well known, one of the richest men in brazil, in jail, recently released, is not true. so at least we can tell you that it does appear, sara, that the selling is on behalf of other investors in the 3g funds who need, as they said, periodic liquidity. investors, though, saying hey, we still want to sell the stock. >> i mean, it comes on top of what do we go back to february when it had to write down $15 billion worth of its two iconic brands, cut its dividend, got a subpoena from the s.e.c. on accounting, had to delay
10:28 am
financial filings, goes from bad to worse the gut instinct when you see a 3g sale is lack of confidence. you have to hear from warren buffet he is the biggest shareholder. >> the largest shareholder and if he were to start selling it would be a different story 3g still owns 20% and their insiders, so to speak, buying some of the stock being sold to create liquidity for the 3g investors at least they want the market to see as a positive as opposed to the negative it's being taken as. >> taken as a negative you have to put it up against any other food stock this year, look at the other story campbell soup, they are turning it around that was a tough business too, packaged soup. there's the divergence and see the loss of confidence really did not come from today with the second largest shareholder selling whatever the reason is >> all right guys, still to come, not a must buy, why "usa today's" ed bage

backdrop, the fundamental global macro economic backdrop hasn't change i think a lot of the supply fundamentals haven't changed in the long term. >> joining us now, jpmorgan head of oil research and strategy, abi, and nasdaq energy analyst tamar. good of you both to be here. everybody has their sources right now and trying to read reports and figure out what's going on with saudi production what are you hearing >> i think there has ban lot of knee-jerk reaction over the weekend as we've seen already in the press. when we did our own analysis we put out a report early on monday and had three scenarios, one in which 50% is cut off one week, second in which 50% of oil from saudi arabia is cut off 30 days and the worst case scenario cut off 90 days. the base case was cut off one month in which the risk premium
10:38 am
coming from poourl fundamentals was around 7 to $8 and in addition to that positioning base risk was 7 to $10 we're looking at a $15 impact if oil was off for a month and that $15 would have been seen in october. in one of the lowest risk scenarios where we considered one week of cutoff and that's what you perhaps the markets seem to be reacting right now to, risk premium was around $6 wisconsin which is what i think markets are reacting on today's news this is the type of damage we've seen in saudi arabia over the weekend. that does take long to recover you do have wells shut down, especially in some of the fields in saudi arabia because of the impact and these wells should come on-line, especially if they are let's say more gas, just takes time to restart them, whereas if they were just purely oil they would restart immediately. we have to take it with a pinch of salt here and also try to
10:39 am
read for the full assessment from saudi aramco in terms of what the full damage is, but based on what evidence we have i think it's going to take a little bit longer than perhaps the knee-jerk reaction now we are seeing again in the snooshgts >> market. >> ta mar, what is your view >> i think that the satellite images show there were really extent severe damage and this is very sophisticated, customized equipment, so i don't think that get gsz replaced so quickly. saudi inventory they have domestically and inventories they hold internationally can cover their export requirements for about 30 days, but if we're talking about an outage beyond that, that should add at least a $10 premium to the price of oil. >> tamar, we had harold hamm on a few moments ago and thinks the risk premium of 10 to 15 is embedded and not going away because the middle east is, yi don't know, is it getting more dangerous? it's been a hotbed for decades
10:40 am
but is there something about these drones that is uncovering some kind strategic liability with these facilities? >> i think so. i don't think that market analysts had really been appreciating the degree to which these assets are vulnerable. we know that saudi arabia has been investing billions in defense of these assets and always know that abqaiq is the most important oils asset on the planet but thought it was well defended but not against these unconventional weapons we should have at least a 3 to $5 risk premium embedded into the price going forward, regardless of how long it takes to get the production fully operational and regardless of what the ultimate playout is here, whether it's diplomatic or military because we now have assets that are exposed that the market wasn't appreciating until this weekend. >> how do you think about what the market is factoring in or betting on in terms of what the response from saudi arabia will be >> well, yes, in terms of the geopolitics, i mean when it
10:41 am
comes to production itself, we are looking at the real response time of one week in terms and then one month today i think based on the news it's coming out in the press from aramco they can return production quite substantially in two to three weeks. in terms of geopolitics response, if you were to say how does saudi arabia and the region respond to potentially what was a threat over the weekend from iran, i think that's something that this market definitely was to the pricing in earlier. there was only investor malace at that point because of global economy faltering and demand for oil being really weak. what this event has shown that geopolitical risk concerning saudi arabia and not just the strait of hormuz, actually within saudi arabia and related to the region, needs to be embedded for the time being in the term of 5 to $8. i don't believe that is embedded given that we have reacted to the saudi news in quick return of oil. >> thank you both for joining
10:42 am
us. >> thank you meanwhile, the reviews are in, apple's iphone 11 models have been tested by tech watchers weighing in before the phones ship to customers starting friday. the verdict from "usa today," not a must by. ed is here with the new iphone we always look forward to getting your take. >> good morning. >> you brought a couple in i think your general take is that it is the best phone apple has ever engineered. >> absolutely. best phone you would expect that it's got the newer processor, the a-13 bionic, the cameras are really good. battery life, which is the precious resource we all want appears to be a lot better where you notice that is not if you have last year's phone or phone from a couple years ago, a lot of people are still holding older phones i think if you buy this one and maybe you have a 7 or older, that's where you're really going to see that difference you will see it in the camera. >> is it enough to get people to pay up and upgrade >> well, that's the question
10:43 am
my sense is where are you in your buying cycle? obviously you always have to pay attention to your budget but if you have a budget the question comes down to where are you in your buying cycle and is there enough there last year's camera was really good the camera the year before really good. is this one better yeah features like a night mode where you can shoot in the dark and get a pretty good picture without a flash. is that worth a few hundred bucks to you those are the questions that the consumer has to ask themselves. >> i like the new colors. >> you like the color. yeah. >> i'm kind of partial to the -- >> you got a boring one. there's purposes and yellows all sorts of colors. >> yeah. this is the iphone 11 which is kind of a purple look. that's the midnight green of the 11 pro max, the biggest of the new phones. >> on this one here, on the max, how important is this? >> three cameras looks a little like the heads of a razor. >> that was the joke at the event, yes.
10:44 am
>> yeah. what you're getting there is a third camera a telephoto, a wide, trawl wide which lets you capture more of a scene and a telephoto. it's a nice thing to have. the 11 does not have the third camera $300 premium for that third camera it's a nice thing to have. it's probably not a deal breaker for everybody. >> nice thing to have if you're doing what >> again, it gives you just more flexibility in the kind of scenes you can get more of that beautiful vista out there without really moving. it's very easy to switch the cameras all work together it's really very easy to get, you know, different vantage points on a shot. >> what about the price and how does it stack up to the competition? >> well, i think the price of the 11 is pretty good. for apple $699 for a new iphone is a pretty attractive price you're looking at 1,000 or more when you go to the pro these are still expensive phones you can find cheaper phones out there, but it's not like samsung
10:45 am
is, you know, down in the bargain basement they're charging a lot for their phones i will be curious to see what google does when they come out with pixels. we expect that in the next few weeks. for apple the prices aren't horrible they came down a little bit on the 11, which is interesting. >> people were wondering if that was -- i don't know -- some sort of admission they went too high. >> i think it is they may not come out and say that, but i think you have to look they still sell a gazillion iphones but fewer than in the past and they have to be mindful. >> are you a believer samsung did get momentum with their own bells and whistles, sort of the failures excluded and an answer from apple to that >> well, i think apple would have come out with something similar to this anyway. >> regardless? >> i think so. we saw the three cameras like we've seen that on the galaxy phones already apple is never first or rarely first to this stuff. to them it's not a market until
10:46 am
they decide it is one. >> yeah. >> so they're mindful of the competition, but i think they would have done it anyway. as far as some of the newer designs, samsung has had a very slow start, suffice it to say with their foldable phone. i suspect apple has something in the lab, but there doesn't seem to be a market there right now. >> have you tried the watch yet? >> i am starting to play with the watch. >> the series 5. >> series 5. it will be interesting to see. what they didn't offer which i hoped they would is baked in kind of sleep detection. i don't know that it would change my night's sleep. battery life is an issue on that thing. when are you going to charge it if you're wearing it when you're sleeping. >> everyone asks should get this one or wait until next year? >> that's always the question. if you need one now, if your phone is three years or older, i would say get it now >> cracks all over your screen. >> next year there may be something more interesting, 5g next year, too soon for it this
10:47 am
year it's a very nice phone i can tell you that. they're all nice phones. >> they are. and you have one of the best jobs in the world, ed. thanks for coming in. >> good to see you. >> as we go to break, take a look at shares of anheuser-busch the beer brewer relaunching an initial public offering for its asian business seeking to raise nearly $5 billion in a hong kong listing. the company abandoning an earlier attempt inulto jy do so the dow is down 29 called usaa, it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. we're the rivera family and we plan to be with usaa for life. see how much you can save with usaa insurance. see how much you can save - stand up if you are first stand up if you're a mother. if you are actively deployed, a veteran, or you're in a military family, please stand. i will tell you this, southern new hampshire university can change the whole trajectory of your life.
