5:06 am
giving us a sense of where they are looking. he has to figure out where ibm is going to fit in this landscape and where they can find new technology and where they need to cut their losses and exit those are the tasks as arvind takes over ibm >> and this is not happening until april 6. she is sticking around in a chairman role. >> that's right. that is important. she's got that experience and been in the job a number of years. i think the two of them together could help moving foreas they navigate this tricky time in the tech landscape right now >> got it. i think mr. krishna has something like 13 or 15 patents. sounds like a smart guy. wall street is looking ahead to another busy week of

5:08 am
difficult to guess at the moment the extent how the virus will impact growth. to the extent it spreads and impacts consumer confidence. we saw the data in the last week or so actually picking up. the fundamentals will be okay. we are watching the data to see whether any of that changes based on this outbreak >> we did get up dated numbers of growth up 2.1%. that was the slowest case in three years. do you think we are heading towards slower growth? >> two good pieces of news we've seen that pick up in consumer confidence i mentioned the nonmanufacturing part has picked up quite a bit reducing that risk of slow down that was
5:09 am
looking more like a risk three or four months ago we are still not seeing a material re5:0 celebration our focus will be on the ism manufacturing and whether we get a further sign of pick up there and whether that is starting to re5:0 celebrate. it seems like trade may be a truce. this is 2020, it is an election year the iowa caucus is around the corner polls seem to indicate bernie sanders is getting more and more poll leading, at least is this something markets should be concerned about because many
5:10 am
of the his ideas don't line up necessarily with the free capitalist thinking. >> i think were you to have a candidate that could have policies that could shake the market it is relatively unlikely that they would have the full backing of democrat congress and they might struggle to push through some of those policies that could shake the market and keeping the market relatively healthy at the moment. were that assumption shaken, things could be more tricky. at the moment, we think it is unlikely democrats will take the house and the senate >> stick with us when we come back, we are live in london where after years of waiting, the uk is finally set

5:18 am
transition period now, the practical trade arrangements will remain the same as they try to create a new trade arrangement. the practical end will be near the end of 2020 when the period comes to an end rather than today. >> if nothing significant happens now, what is the next tent pole for what investors should be watching for when things will markedly change? >> i think what you have seen over the last month or so is that various points have picked up you've seen surveys and measures of the housing market picking up it does seem like we are seeing a pick up across the uk at the moment you are also going to get fiscal

5:34 am
i'm at the beijing train station. it is almost entirely empty. this is unusual on a normal day. but during the lunar new year holiday, it is unprecedented they are implementing measures to try to stop the virus for those of us living in china, wearing a mask is standard practice it is not a government requirement outside of wuhan but nearly everyone has one on because they are fearful of catching the disease today was supposed to be the first day back after the new year holiday but the government extended the holiday so most shops are closed finding fresh produce is a challenge. because of the outbreak, people are eating at home and hording, so it is worse masks are hard to come by.
5:35 am
i was hear the other day and found three for $31. now there aren't any i have been looking for hand sanitizer over a week. the store clerk doesn't know when there will be more. >> this is the entrance to my apartment complex. more and more places are setting up barricades and temperature checks this is the entrance to the cnbc area my temperature is a little on the low side but normal. if i had a fever, he would report me to the authorities >> just living here, you get a sense of the impact. goldman was the latest to put out new numbers where they are revising downwards their estimates from 5.9% growth to
5:36 am
5.5% and they believe the u.s. economy will see an impact on the first quarter but they expect to see a rebound in the u.s. so you shouldn't have too much of a drag on the u.s. economy for the full year. >> very interesting to see inside those shops and the real day-to-day life and shortages of fresh produce, hand sanitizer and masks. it has probably been about a week since china said they were going to build a new hospital. what can you tell us about the progress >> there has been progress made. they have been airing a time lapse of the construction. there have been reports that the second hospital is being built more quickly than the first. nothing is completed yet
5:37 am
expectation is that next week, the hospitals will be built and ready to ease the shortage of beds in wuhan. >> eunice, thank you have a good weekend. let's talk more about the potential financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak i understand you previously worked with the department of health and human services. right now, what is going on in your mind as this virus continues to spread? >> i'll say having to work with many emergencies, i'm thank ffu i'm not there now. they are actively working 14, 16 hour days. the important thing is that the chinese government provide information to the u.s. that they need. we need to know the exact number of people that have gotten the
5:38 am
virus and have passed away from it we need to get the scientific data to know if it really does spread when someone has no symptoms and when someone is supposedly no longer showing symptoms, can the virus spread >> now, you are taking a step further when you see these outbreaks and what it means. goldman sach is putting out a number thinking it will shave 0.4% off the gdp >> what do you think of that number >> i think it is too early to know how significant the impact is going to be people are probably underappreciating how bad this is in china. during sars, the cdc travel advisory lasted three months
5:39 am
telling people not to go to china unless they really had to. this is not down one day this is going to impact earnings over this quarter. >> sars happened in 2002, 2003 the global economy is even more interconnected this could be bigger now than when we saw before >> i think we don't fully appreciate how bad this is in china. the u.s. is the global public health leader. i have confidence in the department and the people leading it now no need to race out and get masks. i think this is even bigger of a concern that we have heard we are following a developing story this morning in that ibm ceo rometty will be

5:41 am
this did appear to pay some dividends. >> we had a shorter holiday season they realize they need those items in a fast as possible manner you see them taking sure early and then late because we think of those fast shipping times >> curious your thoughts on grocery. it seems it has taken time to get off the ground if you look at the physical store sales, which is mostly whole foods, that was actually down you think going forward, grocery will be pivotal? why? >> part of it is the fact that fresh is now free for prime. that's why you saw on line grocery orders go up we do wonder if delivery caused
5:42 am
some difficulties. ultimately with grocery such a big part of the u.s. economy, amazon needs this afternoon to work to sustain their growth >> we talked about how amazon was putting up impressive revenue but not profitability. everyone said, no. they will turn that on when they need to. they've turned that on is that a blip to show what they need to but it may not be a continuing trend or is that something that could be sustained here for amazon? >> i think having covered amazon for a while, there will be ebs and flows. what that quarter does show,
5:43 am
when it is as strong as it was, those margins are powerful clearly expect a more moderate first quarter. >> i would be remiss if i didn't ask you about aws. still very impressive even as you see a company like microsoft growing its gains in the cloud >> there is clearly a trend towards cloud and amazon being a leader in the space. the growth you saw in the quarter, certainly plays some concerns that others may have given the intense competitive environment. >> i think the growth is lifting all of those >> thank you coming up, energy under

5:49 am
teams. other guys like gronk who are pitching things or service >> i was going to ask you there, are they making money because they get paid to show up and host a party >> right he's got a licensing deal. it is called gronk's beach he gets money. people are paying hundreds for vip access he's there six hours it is a way to use his name. last year, it was shaq this year, it is gronk they do these things around the country for different events this is just one of the events saquon doing a visa thing. even if you are not playing, these find a way to cash in. >> others have highlighted sort of the problem in the past with
5:50 am
