the show from aerial investments. rebound after late last night. hard to predict i guess what's going to happen given the trigger, this coronavirus. that said what about a pullback and have we seen enough to be comfortable about valuations >> a dangerous unknown, unknown stuff. wonderful in our business talking about known, unknowns, making predictions about things that you know are coming this caught us off guard look at history and what's happened in the past it is bad when you have full valuations to get this kind of black swan coming out of nowhere and makes us go back to our medical books and learn about death rates and mortality rates and that's frankly not fun. >> donald rumsfeld with us as well. >> as if, said it first. >> focus on the big stories watching today including the coronavirus, of course we have the latest on the outbreak contessa brier at jfk airport covering the impact on airlines
3:02 pm
and "be brave in the scare" tra -- bob ba san bob pisani is with us. and the coronavirus. apple temporarily closed all stores and offices in china and industries from airlines to casinos to cruise ships all impacted earlier on "squawk on the street," put the outbreak into perspective. listen. >> although the number of cases right now is more than twice what we saw with sars back in 2002, the death rate is clearly lower. it's about 2% and likely will get even lower as we recognize more infected individuals. sars back in 2002, the death rate was about 9. % between 9% and 10%. >> let's bring in meg tirrell now with more on theest to contain the outbreak
3:03 pm
meg. >> reporter: sara, learning about the pharmaceutical response evolving quickly. latest news on gilead, experimental anti-virus. report in new england journal of medicine showed the patient reserved the experiment's drug seven day in the hospital and next day clinical condition improved analysts prove too little diet to prove the drug works. it's working with chinese authorities to rahn clinical trial there. >> we hope the data improves thank you. travellers feeling the impact from the outbreak with major airlines canceling china i tinaries and only 11 u.s. airlines accepting flights from china. con ten s contessa has the story. >> reporter: fewer than a dozen u.s. airports xepi iaccepting f from china or passengers coming
3:04 pm
in at this point the united states is no longer allowing foreigner whose have been to china within the last four weeks and closely screens, quarantining u.s. and permanent rents who have been there. it's up to the airlines to decide who should get on this flight we learned at jfk, the questions are not always asked, rules inconsistently applied three u.s. airlines, american, delta an delta suspended services delta until end of april. >> contessa, thanks for that charlie, where do you stand on the airlines stocks? they've fallen a lot is that fair >> especially yuunited. >> biggest exposure to asia? >> we don't like it. never invested because it's highly capital invested. airlines cut full, cut fares to get them full and something goes
3:05 pm
wrong like higher oil prices or a scare like this and profits drop off this is an industry we've never liked. warren buffett said best thing happened for investors, orville write shot off the sky first day. this is a very tough business. this kind of thing and why it's a tough business. >> bring in bob pisani on the floor of the exchange with a look at the overall market and individual movers. >> and manufactures numbers for the u.s. helped early on look at the big movers earnings are key microsoft great numbers, still drafting off those an same with ibm. nike got an upgrade over ubs market is defensive. the sector leader year to date, ult utilities outperforming everything and treasury bonds outperforming. the two big movers get something that's not defensive moving pay attention to new lows. exxon mobile, ten-year low,
3:06 pm
downgrade from goldman sans, and shipping companies, robinson, matteson, u.p.s., despiters down 8%, 10% 12% so far on the year bab to you. >> bob, thanks for that. coronavirus fears of course weighed on oil a new report demand at china fallen by 20%, or 3 million barrels a day due to the virus lockdown and bring in head of research at goldman sachs. thanks for joining us. >> good afternoon. >> gauge for us how big this fallen crude, 18% year to date overdone in your mind? >> look what's makes the coronavirus very different than we've seen in the past magnitude of the quarantine. hopes it contain it near term, in terms of spreading, contagion, and significant impact on economic activity very near term. what's happening with china, quarantine is not impacting transportation demand, demand for copper, iron ore, shutting
3:07 pm
down the mills a broad hit. put it in perspective. look what the market's trying to price in in terms of shape of the forward curve. estimating pricing in 700,000 barrel per day over the course of the year. 2.8, not far off that number you just cited in terms of looking can they keep it on three months? i doubt it say shut it down to the point of impact and demand by 3 million barrels per day over the next week, people that work for goldman tell me kids dough go back to school until march 2nd could last the rest of the month. if it did, market's overshot i don't want to catch a falling knife it could extend. really that's trying to contain the problem. >> obviously china is a key buyer for so many different oil producers. saudi arabia in particular, special opec meetings. what can opec do here? >> that's the problem. not much right now you're loading ships for delivery in april.
3:08 pm
a contained problem and isolated to the near term by the time they hit cutback supplies another 60 days by that point in time a chance it may be done and over with. >> to your point, hard to catch catch a falling knife. the overshoot in decline, down 9% today, copper others down more oil 18%. should it be down more in line with copper? >> no. impact on transportation is typically twice on what it is on economic activity. we're using that relationship with sars. not only shutting down plants, you're shutting down their activity to travel between plants and your day-to-day transportation not just hitting airlines but rail, hitting trucking, cars all of it. that's why you'd expect oil to be down more. >> and on your point on opec i remember a time where just news opec was holding a special meeting, talking about cuts, would move the price of oil
3:09 pm
higher i mean what do you think they'll actually do even if they aren't habl to d able to do -- >> you go back into a backwardation. not ignoring it. just the markets is recognizing it's too, too, you know, time spread is just too tight but i do think the market's pricing in a 50/50 of a chance do they react in the near term is the question. >> buying opportunity for majors, charlie? >> yes we look for factor with a short-term impact no long-term impact i think we'll get through this and china will consume more oil next year than it did last year. so this is going to have short-term problems. price of oil tends to move with short-term factor. longer term i would say exxon at a six-year low is a real opportunity. part of the trade deal, that china was supposed to buy a lot more energy products from the united states. is that going to be possible right now?
3:10 pm
>> again, probably going to be over with by march i'm not saying i have insight there but again in the size of the quarantine means they'll contain this quickly if you use historical guides get out there, be able to go out and buy again. thinking opec cutting production, the question how much inventory build do you get in the next 60 days you want to take down? >> where do you stand on gold? >> positive. not a trade. strategic allocation target of 16 h00 don't see it as a trade, geopolitical risk that worked great against iran a hedge ghent dedollarization. central banks buying gold moving away from u.s. dollars and third reason, a surplus developing because of a sharp drop in cap x. >> at 1600 where you're at now? >> 1581. >> so your point is, advice to be a smart part of everyone's
3:11 pm
portfolio rather than the fact -- >> yes personally haven't talked about the biggest reason, trillion dollar deficits we have negative interest rates, trillion dollar deficits, a lot of factors for hundreds of years caused inflation haven't recently but we think this time is not going to be different. >> okay. great to see you. >> great thanks for having me. and tonight don't miss it. special report on the coronavirus with the latest on the outbreak and its global impact tonight 7:00 p.m. eastern time receipt here on cnbc. still coming up on "closing bell," another new high gear for tesla. above $700 first time the take on that super-charge move higher. up next a few hours away from results of the iowa caucuses democratic candidates face their first major test of 2020 we'll take you out to iowa for the latest on how the results could impact your money. heading to break, a check on the data tracker
3:12 pm
3:15 pm
just about 45 minutes left to go in today's session dow up 181 individual market movers for you. shares of roku higher reaching a deal with fox. the agreement in time to watch the super bowl on the roku platform that stock a nice bounce up almost 6%. maxair technologies moving on news that intelstat has chosen it to manufacture its next generation communications satellite. the move is expected to grow their earnings and cash flow stock up 3%. we are hours away from the results of the iowa caucuses as democratic presidential candidates face their first big test of 2020 kayla is in iowa with us >> reporter: tonight is all about turnout and momentum has the potential to reshuffle the leaderboard of a race in any
3:16 pm
given county here in iowa could favor joe biden, pete buttigieg or bernie sanders. the turnout is key sitting senators are back in washington and sanders and supporters show up, we'll win. if you don't, we'll lose across the political spectrum, the number one policy issue is health care. the chair of the board at manufacturer vermire is trying to figure out which company helps all of the employees she works with. >> a lot of suppliers may not have the same benefits. >> reporter: here the chemical research lab we're in ceo chris nelson plans to caucus for joe biden but says even for a big business like this, that health care is getting too expensive to provide the type of comprehensive coverage it used to. >> to be able to manage a single digit increase we've had to
3:17 pm
greatly start to reduce benefits skinnier plans, costs going up and still we have to charge more. >> reporter: and i remind you. these are big businesses small business owners we spoke with said they don't even really provide this benefit to the majority of their employees anymore because the cost is simply too high. it's not hard to see why this is the number one issue for voters and why in a state like this where costs are up as much as 20% every year they're drawn to candidates like warren and sanders. >> kayla, the unemployment rate in iowa is remarkably low. lower than the average, lower than 3%. wonder how the economy factors in to what last time around was pretty clear a trump state >> reporter: it was. to be clear, sara, president trump still has a couple of points on most of the democratic candidates in this state for that very reason unemployment rate is 2.6%. you hear businesses talk about
3:18 pm
needing immigration reform to get more people to the state to fill the jobs. also we hear about underemployment, people working more hours, working too many jobs to check all the boxes. >> kayla, how important is iowa? is it a case of this lead gives enough momentum to really change the game or does it have to come alongside a new hampshire victory and others as well >> reporter: well, from the delegate standpoint, it's somewhat negligible. 56 delegates from iowa. so it's a small fraction of the delegate prize, but what it does is give momentum to a front-runner in this race at a critical moment going into these other primaries with a race still this wide, it will certainly propel one if not two, candidates to really be able to fund raise and get a lot more
3:19 pm
grass root support going into the other critical races. >> kayla tausche thank you. who's wall street lining up behind in terms of democratic candidates sticking with trump? >> so i would say that i have visibility on this because our firm has very prominent democrats and they are coming behind -- >> you'll see -- jen rogers. >> wasn't going to name. thanks but he is already expressing support for bloomberg. it's fair to say that the stories about the democratic establishment being nervous about sanders are true, and personally, the betting lines say that sanders has close to a 35%, 38% chance winning the presidency i don't think the market is baking that in i would say the market is saying, he won't get elected or if he does won't carry the senate i think chances of that are higher than people think a. great segue to that. the market dashboard looking at the rise of bernie sanders and what it means for the marketants
3:20 pm
exact lly right regionally focused market-wide haven't seen a pricing in of this prospect. certain themes you can see evidence that the prospect of a more progressive democratic nominee is getting into the market strategas has high tax exposures. rick of increase in corporate tax rates would hit these companies hardest. as this number goes down it means the possibility of a bernie sanders or elizabeth warren nomination goes up. that's an inverted scale what it shows is this high-tax basket tracking lower recently as those two have seemed like they're somewhat more likely so obviously, we got a corporate tax cut. the theory, these are the big beneficiaries, maybe it could be reversed look within health care. recently a little more nervousness among the health care providers that's the ihf
3:21 pm
basically the big insurers out there who had a very good run in late 2019, after elizabeth warren peaked in polls after sanders has had a closed in on biden it has actually underperformed here recently obviously, you see the nodes of concern. also we've talked before, there's been a hedge of hedging a spike of volatility today meaning results from today or super tuesday in a month all that stuff is getting into the market, but in general fair to say that the overall s&p 500 is not necessarily moving just yet on these numbers. >> mike, thank you very much and charlie, to weigh in on your correspondent what mike just said what do you think would be the trigger to see the s&p 500 to play catch-up to where the betting market odds are? an iowa win or actually winning the nomination in many months' time >> the latter. i if sanders looks like he will
3:22 pm
be the nominee and republicans look like they're having trouble holding on to the senate and only up by three people say four, but that assume as swing vote with the vice president. if they lose that, i see three or four states we're nervous about holding. so if the market sees that combination possibly occurring, then i think we're talking about a lot more than 5% profit a. school of thought that says bernie gets the nomination and trump wins the election will have an easier time winning the election which would be market friendly. >> that's overconfidence nobody obviously thought trump could win. nobody thought ronald reagan could win. >> who knows. >> exactly that's point. counting you down to alphabet's earnings after the bell the last of the names to report. preview what to watch when the number hits. and terry duffy discusses a new volatility in the market with fears of the coronavirus.

3:28 pm
i will say build rates better than i thought they'd be. so the fundamentals are better electric cars fundamentally better. but it just to me is not worth the price that the company is paying for them. >> do you like the stocks? >> not at these levels the supplier just bought delphi. stock got hit hard for it. on a combined basis, warner and delphi, big investment in power trains and electric as well. 11 times earnings traded in. >> there you go. still to come, picking a name down over 20% over the past year that call straight ahead. and later speak to the man behind the viral mr. peanut super bowl ad nap would be little nut right? baby nut the ceo join us us in a bit. as we head to break, a check on bonds. treasury yields making a small move higher. ten year yielding around 1.53% along with the overall recovery

ads. seems they're given a lot more on the disclosure front, something investors really wanted to see from google. is that true >> yeah. absolutely true. ip think you have analysts coming out to break out the numbers. they'll tell you it's a big focus. they want more disclosure. interesting. early december, sunder becoming ceo. what does that mean? new engamt with the street new metrics and data points? interesting they're breaking that out 2. billion a focus for the business put a lot of money and time into it just heard by the way, of course from two big rivals amazon and microsoft, very strong results for both of their cloud businesses, too, guys. >> josh, thanks. and 2.6 billion shows a lot smaller than microsoft and amazon websites in terms of absolute size of cloud. >> yes. >> the other thing that jumps out on the revenue line is a slightly dit appointing core
4:07 pm
advertising number might be what people focused on. the profitability coming through on the eps line strong. >> without a doubt also a situation where this is a conference call mover very often, because there's a lot of questions what they're going to do inner terms of capital allocation, first quarter, full quarter with the new ceo here. you don't want to draw too many conclusions here i don't think the youtube revenue numbers are wowing anybody out in it's well in the range of what the estimates were there of 16 billion to 25 billion as an annual run rate. i don't know if that's why the stock is bake backing off but applaud the transparency but not thoroughly surprised at the mag in a -- magnitude of that business. >> and some focus, 21% haven't gotten to the bottom line that's an important focus as well. >> sure. and what investors should expect
4:08 pm
along those lines is honestly i think a lot of the fixation right now in terms of margins and said cost discipline. >> worth the ceo, a lot more cost discipline. right? >> yes. >> and redefining their relationship now with investors under this new ceo, as josh said. >> thinking with the founders backing away more of a close xrut fscrutiny to longer term projects outside the core. >> and charlie in terms of new ceo in place, what type of arguments could he lay out warning you of an expensive stock for you? >> this is not tesla this is not smoke in mirrors this is a very good business with operating cash flow getting better 20% margins are a lot better than a lot of advertising agencies one i would not get in the way of some of these are destined to fall more disclosure than we love i wouldn't get in the way of this. >> still 18% revenue goethe even
4:09 pm
with a miss. 20% without thecurrently impact. >> and trading -- for size of the business, they're close to 20% top line growth still is pretty amazing. i will say it came into this report, at a relatively expensive spot i like to look at free cash flow yield of businesses like this. it's as aggressively value and that business as a decade ago as a much smaller company. >> what's your take on the big earnings stocks and how they performed following earnings are you encouraged overall they held up well given the strong run from last year >> i think earnings will come in better than expected i think. i heard they wouldn't the past three years, and they've tended to come in better than expectations in terms of google, i've been bullish on google since it came public in my presentations at public seminars i asked how many used

friendly ebitda growth 15 significantly below their growth rate and we think it's a step in the right direction. >> what you make of the traffic acquisition costs and operating margins? >> actually, we think both results were pretty positive the traffic acquisition costs stayed around 22% of overall ad revenue consistently the last four quarters. no longer facing that pressure, but, however, we would -- we do recommend focusing a little more on the ad revenues, which came in below consensus, below estimates. we think a variety of reasons. variety of reasons why the ad revenues have been impacted. one is probably gdpr, impact of gd pr on the ad revenues saw something similar wi revenu.
4:16 pm
the youtube revenue was better than we expected in in our internal forecast and also the cloud. i think the cloud is very positive, and in these days when google is facing antitrust issues focusing a lot on the online advertising side of the business, it's really good to see that their enterprise side of the business, cloud, performing very well. >> yeah. what did up think about those two? can youtube live up to wall street expectations and cloud? we know a distant third to microsoft and am somazon but ist grows fast number? >> the run makes sense in the ballpark where most thought it would be. cloud is a rounding area relative to amazon and google includes applications going -- sorry, amazon is largely infrastructure coming. the numbers are actually a lot smaller when you strip out the apps and make it light for
4:17 pm
light. amazon is so far ahead add microsoft and google together there's as $15 billion delta between where amazon is at i mean it's like patrick mahomes versus the rest of the quarterbacks in the league none to compare. google's number three and doing great, but they need this to additional transparency and reminds me what happened with microsoft when ballmer left and nadella took over. they're making the right moves, and, again, this is the first glimpse. again, we have the cloud, buyback moving up. it's great still a lot of room they have to improve. again, we like the stock at 11 times ebitda. >> and what do you want to hear from sundak? >> hear more about reasoning behind a slowdown in advertising revenue. we'd like to hear a little more about the, the status of the

asked challenges that maybe investors and analysts should be aware of she simply said, listen, they're pleased with their ongoing strong growth as she described it very pleased, her words, with cloud momentum the hardware didn't sell well over the holidays but compared way stronger report from last year perhaps suggesting tougher comps. as for the crowd, you have been talking about, new disclosures from the company breaking out the search business. up 17% youtube ad revenue and 2019 ended with a $10 billion analyzed run rate for the cloud and the core specifically about $2.6 billion. so was that more than what investors expected look at the price action in after-hours maybe not. google's rival just reported

thanks for joining us. >> appreciate you having me. >> talk us through what you think about the volatility levels given all the big macro risks and concerns in the last couple of weeks and pullbacks from the highs a reasonable jump in volatility? do you expect more >> the word you just raised is a good one reasonable i think it is reasonable volatility compared to what's going on in the world. talk and the coronavirus and what's going on throughout the asian communities, what's going on in the united states geopolitically a host of issues volatility is at a reasonable level and could spike higher some could say. same time, we're here to manage the volatility around doing it but seeing quite a bit and most in the equity complex and then seeing a little bit more in the oil complex with the sell-off we've seen recently in the markets. >> to talk a little more about those different levels that
4:31 pm
we've seen year to date equities, oils, bonds, when you see how much more of a risk aversion moves we see in areas like oil and bonds does it make you pause and think equities are more of a pullback, or not >> the really difficult to predict that, because i mean who would have prishedicted we'd see tesla stock where it is today? it's tough to say what's going to drive what market down to what level or up to what level we're seeing equities at all-time highs, interest rates at all-time lows and now energy look tat in the mean as $50 some odd a barrel take the 130, and in middle to low end of it it's hard to make a prediction if this continues to drag equities one way or the other. >> see anything related to the election, terry? sanders gaining momentum in the
4:32 pm
iowa caucuses. >> sara, a great question. we don't have enough time on your live show to discuss it i think the first time if we have a very progressive government coming in you could see a whole new pricing of assets i'm not sure if they're going up or down. a whole new philosophy than we've seen people coming into the white house. progressive movement with bernie sanders being front-runner, appears he will be, you could see pricing assets in a new way several months going up to the election. >> what was the terms structure of various hedging options telling you about how quickly we could see the market react with just a victory tonight? would that see a big valuation or do we need to get past super tuesday and see the nomination fully confirmed? >> again, head the nail on the head look at the way markets react, they don't give you a lot of
4:33 pm
opportunities. ra reacting quickly super tuesday and beyond, and every time we have this kind of momentum whether an election or something fundamentally in business you'll see a quick reaction and then you'll see it come back one way or another no different than we saw friday with coronavirus and everybody says, take a wait and see approach going into monday and tuesday this week and then instead saw a rally. you never know reaction is immediate no matter what the situation may be. >> terry, how about bitcoin having a great january up almost 30%. what's with that is it a safe haven what are you seeing in futures. >> you know what, sara, i think it is. i think people are using bit coy coin like gold seeing an uptick set at that level of 7,000 at bitcoin so long and uptick 9,000, 9,500 on bitcoin. we just listed options on
4:34 pm
bitcoin. getting interest there we're seeing more and more people participate in bitcoin but you hit the nail on the head more of a safe haven similar to a gold trade. >> terry, as we watched these markets, so much more attention now, is it on the systematic trading systems. hedge funds or ones that are risk parody using futures and interest rate instrument and one against the other. has that fundamentally change the rhythm of the market far as you can tell and what has it meant for your business? >> i don't think it's change the rhythm too much of the marketplace other than passive versus active-type managers and need to do either more layoffs or less, you might say our business i think has been steady for the most part and people need to manage that risk. even though i think when wilford started the conversation, vic around 18. up significantly it's coming off a very low base. so i think people need to manage that risk, mike.
4:35 pm
that's not going to change there's just phtoo many events that can happen so quickly if you're note already hedged up, it's too late after the fact you'll see more and more people continue on with this no matter passive or active in the marketplace. >> terry, so many people understand you link your business and the trading desks of investment manx to the macro outfit and shows where they're heading given into the cycle i was in goldman sachs yesterday and clear they felt returns for their trading business could improve significantly in years ahead regardless what the mark crowe environment is how do you feel about your business at the moment regulatory challenges both here and in europe last couple of years and some smaller players have fallen away did you feel strength in growing bottom line and then top line in the next five years?
4:36 pm
>> difficult to determine what your top and bottom line will be cme is 80% of our revenue. look at just financials in general especially the banks, last several months they were reporting out some fairly kig sent upditicks and that's good o cme and have capital efficiencies with capital projects and getting offsets against the cash with acquisition of the next exchange the broker tent sitting alongside our future platform creating efficiencies for people mitigating that risk it's a good thing and seeing financials more and more people are participating in the markets. i think they have to just to mitigate the rick that the unknown risk, as they say. >> terry duffy, good to see you. thank you. >> thanks, sara. appreciate it. still ahead, we are joined by the man who killed and resurrected mr. peanut during last night the super bowl ads.

the kansas city chiefs making history winning their first super bowl in 50 years other top moments brought to you by the ads including the baby nut commercial by planter's and social media following knows you as, how do you define success after the super bowl and the three ads you were behind? >> you don't strictly business. the most fun i'll have talking about it because we're in a business show and business environment. you know i could care less about the twitter mentions or what "usa today" said or the industry magazines says wa good bad or different. not because of audacity but they're opinions reality, spending that money trying to build your business. on the day after, not much more about three to six month wait to see how the brand awareness becomes real. >> interesting because so i would think that
4:41 pm
the more viral buzz you get whether good or bad, i think "washington post" put that one in one of the worst ads, just because -- i don't know. some people thought it was inappropriate. i don't know but that's good news ultimately for the bottom line, because when people are talking about it, they'll buy it. >> i'm not necessarily about all publicity is good publicity. something that it was bad that might lead them to not considering the brand. flip side. whoever wrote the "washington post" piece their human opinion is completely irrelevant to the p & l. >> presumably you and twitter and other social media platforms transformed the bang you get for your buck buying an incredibly expensive slot on the super bowl because these 30-second curated videos get seen by way more eyeballs for way longer than just one moment. back to a decade ago ng.
4:42 pm
>> yes. >> how much difference does that make does it make if a cheap slot >> aye say until things change in america the super bowl ad is grossly under priced at $5.2 million a slot because of the dynamics you're referring to and even without the internet it's the one time misamerica sits do and actually wants to watch a commercial every other moment in our lives, we hate them. >> full-out question on that, then, is, is there still a lot of growth to come in the social media advertising space when you consider the amount of energy expertise creativity and money that goes into creating these tv slots versus your average ad you see on social media, which is a bit more basic does that suggest social advertising has much more influence and power to glee iro into >> yes. >> when do you get to that, spend for $5.2 million to create first and foremost to twitter,
4:43 pm
as first and foremost the super bowl >> the mr. peanut spot normally gone on the super bowl ran on twitter first and completely took over the conversation and set us up fon tr the ad we ran. first on the digital than the tv spot. >> when you killed mr. peanut. >> that's correct. >> why did you kill mr. peanut >> because i'm on the show right now talking about it because you have to do thing to break patterns and had a plan creating another character we thought we could double up on the quick feat. >> irony, people hadn't thought about it revived mr. peanut by killing mr. peanut >> go figure. >> and the celebrity, what works? >> if you pay the right price. without knowing all the other spots. a celebrity or influencer or human or anchor on a show is an arbitrage. >> sara and i are very
4:44 pm
