5:03 am

5:06 am
respective corners >> absolutely. this is a big number every month. especially this month now that we've had weakening numbers. people are really looking at this to see is the consumer this the foundation of this economy are they going to stay strong? are average hourly earnings going to be good there is a lot riding on this number the markets could be set up for a lot of volatility as they are set up one way or the other. >> we often joke about how the current job's report is the most important since the last job's report this is about scales and the idea that we are seeing signs of a slow down and possible
5:07 am
recession. what exactly will be the key in this job's report for you about whether those scales get tipped one way or the other >> we know the number of jobs created is going to come down. we can't keep generating 200,000 jobs a month like we did in the beginning of the year. people are expecting 130 or 140 range. the hourly rate and the hours worked will be key when we look at a list of recession indicators, the labor market is one of those that has the most positive strength people look at that to say, no, we are not going into a recession because they are strong this is one of the telltale signs. then they start to tilt towards
5:08 am
the down side. >> are there companies you are looking at in terms of this environment? >> we always look for names that have been hit. the last new name we actually added was in-housing that was lenar we added that back at the end of august the name has done really well since then look at housing. housing has had a turnaround it hit cycle highs in august that is a good place to be right now especially for builders on that lower price range we are adding to staple names. we added to coca-cola and apple. find your niche where you think there are opportunities. >> victoria, live in houston thank you, very much >> my pleasure the must iphone 11 has only been on sale a few weeks but apple is asking suppliers to

5:16 am
to resolve this, leaving out the politics is what do you do about the finance? the italian agriculture ministry has requested money, support from the european union. we've seen this before when exports to russia were hit they would provide money for italian producers to keep these on the shelves longer. they might get paid to those these in rooms like this until this gets resolved >> i'm going to channel my inner brian sullivan right now because this is his show would you say a trade deal right now is not maturing fast enough given your cheese analogy? >> good. that's really good you listen to what the european commission has said all week in brussels they talk about the need for
5:17 am
negotiations they've said that for months they responded almost immediately to that ruling to airbus and subsidies they are requesting a special meeting and to impose a tariff two weeks from today whether those talks happen anytime soon, leave that up to you. >> the dish is on me next time you are in new york, willem. have fun with the cheese factually there in italy new numbers from the cdc over vaping as the industry scores a rare win in new york state. today's big number 158,000. that's the average number of jobs added each month so far that is down from the 223,000 per month added r ntinpemoh 2018 . this changes everything. you're right sir... everything. no not everything, i mean you're still blatantly sucking up to me gary. brilliantly observed, sir.

5:33 am
up now, things have turned south stocks having a tough time this morning. also to that wto ruling and implications to the tariffs in the u.s. and europe and a number of european goods. holding on to early gains they've been hit the hardest a little catch up trade in the uk you just wept through there just in the last couple of

5:35 am
today, the all-important jobs growth is on tap one person not worried that is the vice chair, the risk of recession is low and adds the central bank is ready to act >> we take them one at a time. we are not on a preset course. we will act appropriate to sustain low unemployment rate. we said that in june, july and september. i'm saying it to you tonight >> let's try and make sense of all of this now. ubs chief economist, seth carpenter and former treasury as well i will start, seth, with you first. rich just spoke saying the u.s. is not going into recession. he's got data on his side but
5:36 am
not all is flowing that way. in your mind, what exactly is the balance right now? is the u.s. tilting towards a recession? >> we have a slow down coming in the next year. the risk of that happening sooner rather than later that is coming this morning because the 8:30 jobs report will be key. we have about the 132,000 forecast that shades the risk there >> take us behind the curtain a bit here you use models there to predict outcomes how has your modelling changed we have seen so many different data points with regard to warning signs on tuesday, the ism nonmanufacturing and on wednesday, adp, the services
5:37 am
number on wednesday. how have your estimates been revised or moved you've seen those slow down. it is not positive by it self- we know that this trade war has hit the manufacturing sector hard given those estimates and the data it has been a roller coaster ride is there noise or still more to be made from the bull market that could last for years?
5:38 am
i would say the bull market would be in tact consumption is 70% of our economy. what i can say about the weak data, the stock market overreacted and that's why you saw a rebound a third of the way through yesterday. the probability of the fed increase maybe a week or two ago, there was a chance of a rate cut by the end of the year. and probability of a cut this month, 57% of a chance of a second cut before year end that would help the economy when we listen to the comments, it sournds like the fed is read to act they are ready to step in to make sure the economy continues
5:39 am
to move forward and hopefully the market does as well? >> if you take a look at the way the story is shaping up, you continue to make this kind of bull run what would you need to see outside of a string of job numbers to make you feel as though you can change that thesis now to say, a, there is no recession still on track for a healthy, slower economy >> we don't have an outright recession as a trade line. the 15% tariffs. we are really worried. given those back where we saw growth slump then. we had another escalation.
5:40 am
it is a whole set of body blows. what we have from the trade war will take a toll i'm going to stay pessimistic for an outright recession and slowing. >> as you start to strategize, what are you looking for and what are you staying away from in this market >> just like seth said, we are concerned, right we have a very defensive positioning right now we see the consumer is still strong it is still high that is 70% of growth. the whole world is relying the consumer is strong but become very, very price conscious. companies like walmart, dollar
5:41 am
general. tj maxx. that's where you want to be right now. >> a great conversation ahead of large job numbers. thank you so much here in studio as well. >> later on today, don't miss a live interview with eric rosengren at 12:20 eastern time. a must-see interview more coming up on job change and ceo change at bp stay tuned you are watching "worldwide exchange" here on cnbc
