5:01 am
elon musk unveiling his latest at an event last night retail wraps up a busy week as "worldwide exchange" begins right now. ♪ >> good morning, happy friday and welcome to the show. stock futures are moving slightly to the upside the dow moving up the longest losing streak. the s&p seeing the longest losing streak since september. the dow is at risk of snapping its winning streak as future gains hold, the dow would open up by about 59 points and the s&p by about seven points as well if you look at the 10-year, we
5:02 am
are slightly lower on the day, about 1.755% two-year about 1.597%. japan did finish off in the green up 0.3%. china, you can see closing up as well a half of one percent main land china up 0.2%. in the european trade, we are seeing a little mix there. german dax up 0.25%. those trade tensions continue to be front and center. chinese president saying china wants to work for a trade deal but is not afraid to fight back. our own eunice yoon is with us
5:03 am
put those comments in context. >> it is interesting this is the first time we've heard president xi jinping commenting on the interim phase one trade deal he said he does want to see something worked out but that this deal would have to be negotiated with the understanding that u.s. and china are both equals and that it is conducted with mutual respect. some other points he made such as henry kissinger was that the trade war wasn't something china wanted but something china would fight back on when necessary the markets here didn't seem to be heartened as a tense relationship today, the ministry blasted the united states on another issue
5:04 am
that is the u.s. sending more warships into the south china sea skirting islands, which beijing claims asits own this comes after the u.s. congress had passed the bill seen as supporting prodemocracy activists in hong kong the other development was that he hinted at some pensions saying china wanted to ensure its financial sovereignty. this is even as china continues to open up its financial markets. what was interesting is how this is being interpreted as a signal that, yes, we are in this trade war, this tech war and maybe now soon to be in a financial war. >> outside of trade, there is some expectations of major news coming out of hong kong. we know there are elections
5:05 am
taking place there take us through that as well >> what is interesting there will be four million people heading to the polls in hong kong on sunday. this election is not something for the local top leaders but actually for district elections that are normally quite local and mundane. they are expected to have record turn out just because of the back drop of the protests. they are hoping take more seats or take advantage of the current temperature of the city. but the overall seats are stacked with pro beijing loyalists. the other thing people are watching for is concern whether it will bring more protesters and violent clashes.
5:06 am
security is very tight and people are worried about what they might see a lot of people are worried if the clashes get too bad, the elections could get suspended. plenty of analysts say that would even enflame the protests even more. >> thank you so much joining us now, a cnbc contributor. larry, we just heard eunice talking about some flash point issues in china and hong kong. we know the markets in the u.s. are still hovering near record highs. is this a scenario where the world economy and market is all con continuent on what happens in the united states >> think about it, 12 years ago, everybody was talking about what was called decoupling. there was problems in the u.s. and globally, there was
5:07 am
strength now it is the opposite problems globally, strength in the u.s., strong dollar. i think that will happen in the next six months. big, big trade a rebalancing of the global economy. where the global economy strengthens relative to the u.s. and capital that will flow >> so if this is the case, how important is what is happening in hong kong with china and the tensions there going to play into this narrative overall. is this a scenario where you could really see the down side event trigger globally it is really going to trigger a problem in the u.s you've got senators and congressmen taking the wheel out of the white house hands president trump trying to do a
5:08 am
trade deal net net the pressure coming from congress and democratic candidates there is this effort to lay the hammer down. that creates uncertainty for the u.s. markets >> one of the reasons why the fed did take the actions and cut interest rates three times the interest rate environment is still supportive of what is happening in regard to the united states. if not, what needs to happen and where could we see some flash points there >> you and i were talking about a year ago i made the point that beast in the market was going to break the fed over its knee. credit risks was really rising that's what happened the fed not only caved onra rat
5:09 am
cuts they've undone about 400 billion of that. here is the thing, everybody says don't fight the fed how many times have you heard that i have a question for you and people watching now, why are people in the bond market especially in the junk of junk bonds, why are they fighting the fed? the first time since lehman wen down, you have bonds in high points >> one final point here. i can understand what you are saying about the general tone of the bond market and the high yield. but those are only in certain parts. generally speaking, take a look at the etf that attract
5:10 am
high-yield debt. is this really a scenario where we think the credit markets are signaling something bad ahead? >> we saw this in 2007 there were pockets of risk one by one by one, as they grew. it was a credit spread contagion. just in the past month, this was moved from tightness, loans now dipping into single bs they had to cave on the balance sheet. the ability to finance bad assets and all of the problem with wework. right now, this is the most important part of the interview. we are seeing underperformance of u.s. banks cds.
5:11 am
it is starting to widen, that tells you, it is some type of credit contagion spreading through. >> thank you for joining us. let's look at some other top stories. tesla ceo elon musk unveiling the all electric pickup truck dubbed the cyber truck unveiled in l.a hard angels and sharp lines there, will start under $40,000 and will have a top range of 100 miles on a single charge also watching, apple reports demands for the air pods pro is shocking higher than expected people familiar with the plans reportedly say apple expects
5:12 am
shipments to double adding that demand is straining supply chain capacity and xerox giving hp an ultimative threatening to go hostile unless the company agrees to pursue a friendly combination. hp had turned down xerox's offer saying it, quote, significantly undervalues the company. when we come back, president trump holding key talks on the future of federal vaping administration and we'll talk to someone who has an inside glimpse. and pure pain, why these shares are falling off a cliff. later on, casting out a federal reserve independent will be there. a very busy hour

5:15 am
5:16 am
cigarettes as today, president trump will hold court over the usage of youth usage you name them, all the groups are expected to be there today one group that has curried favor is groefr norquist the group had an editorial out banning favored e cigarettes might cost trump the reelection. >> joining us now, director of strategic initiatives, paul blare. i got to say when i saw the headline there, i thought how could vaping really swing the election why is this such a key issue for president trump? >> a great question. for viewers who are either not
5:17 am
smokers or never used e cigarettes, it might sound really weird that this could be a key issue either in 2020 or in state or federal races in 2016, when we first conducting polling among adults, we found three out of four adults who use the product three out of four of them were single issue voters. their vote moving issue was where a politician stood on access to vapor products that poll has been advocated showing essentially the same thing. more than 80% of the adults when use these are single-issue voters we have data from the fda and cdc that shows at least 13
5:18 am
million american adults use these. when you add up the number of adults who feel deeply passionate to using these because they've been able to transition away from cigarettes to lower risk alternatives in a state like michigan where president trump won by less than 700,000 votes and there are over 400,000 who use these, it is an issue especially in swing states could have a major impact on the outcome next year. >> fair enough i understand the adult usage issue. the issues around the vaping epidemic have centered not around the adult side of things but around teen usage of these that's the reason president trump has turned his attention
5:19 am
to this. how does that play out because teen usage is a key issue here >> it is important to note usage fell at the largest decline at the american history 28%. it is certainly important to look at what teens are experimenting with the problem and the question is do we focus on the experiment at the cost of restricting adult access there are products applied that could address the teen use question you already have to be 18 to buy these. senator mcconnell is pushing to raise that to 21 that is endorsed by the president as recently as two weeks ago. there are a push to restrict marketing to make sure there aren't silly brands or the use of cartoons and silly things
5:20 am
like that. those are all reasonable restrictions the government can place on these without removing them from the market it is important to focus on teen experimentation but it can't come at the cost of adult access >> let's talk about whether we can button this up here. we talked about the number of stake holders that will be present at this particular meeting, are they going to be able to address the numbers the cdc puts out with the increasing number of deaths and illnesses tied to vaping when the center for disease control still doesn't know what is causing all the illness. >> a meeting provided the clarity in this space. they found all of the cases they tested products where
5:21 am
individuals got sick or an individual using a product ended up passing away. they found vitamin e acitat. that is an additive in marijuana or cbc it is not flavored e cigarettes. it is marijuana and thc products people get from friends on the black market and drug dealers. it took a while to get there it is an important issue to address. it goes to the issue of conflating the use of two different products and overrating one industry because of a misconception about the use of one >> paul blare. following those closely. still on deck, breaking

love this quote. tesla's cyber truck looks weird, like really weird. it does look futuristic. $39,900 is the base price. they are offering three versions by the way, the range between 250 and 500 miles. toeing capacity 7,500 to 14,000 pounds and 0 to 60 between 2.9 and 6.5 seconds. three different versions based on the battery capacity. the trimotor version will go up to 500 miles fully charged then there was the window demonstration. they were trying to show that this would be more endurable than any other pick uptruck. they tried to show that this

5:43 am
sedan maybe a roadster down the line will it maintain its lead and first mover because there are so many options for consumers at that point >> i don't think this moves the needle where tesla is. this is a very niche pickup truck if it is built and looks like this. i'm telling you, this is just not going to sell well beyond core urban markets and where people want to make a statement about the future of vehicles this is cool in terms of functionality, there are more questions than answers. are they likely to look at this vehicle? nope i don't think so will there be urban buyers remember when the hummer came on and they said nobody is going to buy the hummer
5:44 am
there was a small niche. i see the same thing here. in terms of tesla and the advantage with electric vehicles, their volume is going to be very low on this remember, the others who build pickup trucks, the big three as well as startups, they've got electric pickups, likely more traditional looking coming out late 2021, early 2022. >> i don't know if i would buy one. that's just me thank you, phil. coming up, what united airlines ceo is saying about the safety steps his company plans to take when the boeing 737 max yet returns to its fleet plus congress looks to crack down on how concert tickets are sold to you. details about the unfair practices lawmakers are trying to take a look at. that's coming up
