5:02 am
s&p indicated higher more than 8 and nasdaq more than 35 points let's see what we have going on for you in asia and actually mostly around the world, we are seeing green on the two-year, we'll take a quick check, yield on the 10-year below 1.6% hang seng higher nikkei was lower one of the only negative markets we've seen overnight this morning as we continue to follow the coronavirus with new virus cases and dipping slightly believe it or not. it is hard to know if that is actually a trend or not. let's look at what is going on in europe. germany higher as well as the ftse 100
5:03 am
france is higher by a half a percent. joining me now, gibbs wealth management with the exception of what is going on in japan. what would you say is the reason they are able to shrug off concerns >> it is not surprise we are able to get some green days, as well as the u.s. fundamentals in the u.s. are strong it is all about trying to dive in and figure out what industries are most vulnerable with the slow down and how quickly this is going to be resolved so far, i think there are major concerns the jan inflation numbers are
5:04 am
concerning that they are only starting to ask for help to contain this spread is something we'll have to worry about i don't think it is time to get in i don't see it as the ultimate low or the dip just yet. >> what i'm parsing through is the impact of companies like, say, apple, only 10% of the workers are there. we know it is the lunar new year so it is slower already and perhaps that is a blessing in surprise >> i know it looks cheap but you would be perfectly safe to wait at least a month or two.
5:05 am
those could also take a hit but i think in general, we have such a strong u.s. economy, you have ways to see trading. another concern that is a longer-term trend is high-end luxury so lvmh who just bought tiffanys they have a massive exposure to growth in china. that has been a hit. i don't see that turning around for at least a month overall, that u.s. large cap core is the safer area to invest in we'll see the least amount of volatility you need to delve in and figure out was there growth expected to move in from china
5:06 am
if they are not producing or going out, this could hurt you for at least first quarter to second quarter >> quickly, when we are talking about the broader market talking valuations how do you feel about that part? >> that's another big concern. we don't know how this virus is going to play out and how quickly they will contain it stocks are trading at perfection we haven't seen this since 2002. this is an 18-year high. it is expensive. >> we are here >> yes we are here. we are at the top. if there is anything that can derail expectations. fundamentals are looking great all it takes are just one thing to derail this

efforts. we spoke to one manufacturer today who said his concern is that disruption could last until april. expecting to open his beijing motor cycle factory instead, he's at home with his dog. like most in china, he was expected to start production after the lunar holiday. but because of the virus, he's stuck trying to manage the business from his apartment. he's used this facility to build his motorcycles and ship around the world. installing showers, isolation rooms. >> you have to have it or you don't open the door. that's how it is >> he's not sure when p that will happen.
5:09 am

5:10 am
connection to the 2017 equifax data breach. what are we hearing this morning? >> we are hearing what you'd expect from the chinese government about these things. there has been noadmission of blame or fault, at all the foreign ministry came out fighting saying the chinese government do not engage or participate in the theft or tradesecrets of the internet adding that china is a victim itself of cyber theft, and beijing demands the u.s. stop such acts. this is a very common answer or response from the chinese. often saying that the u.s. is just as much to blame as the chinese are when p it comes to any sort of spying >> interesting stuff for a story
