latest of asian trade. julianna tatelbaum is in london. i remember coming to work this morning in the new york time zone, the stoxx 600 was actually higher but we've seen some slowing momentum >> exactly this morning, european markets have tried to stage a turnaround the stoxx 600, the main benchmark is now trading lower about 0.3% put this into context with the losses we saw yesterday. the pace of selling has slowed relative to yesterday. investors not quite ready to begin putting their money back into stocks here that rebound has fallen through and now they are trading lower yesterday, we saw basic resources.
5:06 am
auto, travel and leisure trading lower. and those airlines getting hit very, very hard. this morning, stabilization coming through you can see the worst performing sectors of banks much more muted losses than we saw yesterday. at the top of the board, we saw media up 4.4% and basic resources. china trading in the green today. yes, the rebound was short lived but the losses coming through now, not quite as bad as yesterday. investors pausing a little bit in europe. >> julianna tatelbaum with the latest from london all of this linking to the growing spread of the coronavirus around the world nearly 80,000 people in 37 countries have now been infected the global death toll is at least 2,600 people
5:07 am

5:08 am
and moderna surging in the pre-market it has become the first market to release a potential coronavirus vaccine. it sent the viles to now be tested on humans stock futures well off the highs. the dow opening up about 80 points here. mark, i've got to ask maybe this first. are you playing offense or defense? >> we are staying in the neutral zone not going either way that heavy right now. there is too much uncertainty. i think investors are changing the fear question from the greed posture we have seen last year, even to january. those people playing ping pong are the ones that will lose out
5:09 am
here we don't know the duration of this or how wide spread it is. to wake up every day and put more money on the table is to say it will be black today and red tomorrow is not solid strategy looking at the economy and understanding that this virus will run its course and impact its short run. think longer term and stay out of the short term donald trump tweeted yesterday, the coronavirus is very much under control in the u.s we are in contact with everyone in relevant countries. the cdc working hard and smart stock market starting to look very good to me. we want to focus on that last
5:10 am
linenow. is the stock market now looking good to you? is. >> it is a lot more complex. reflecting a total break down. that is way too much i have business owners whose businesses are being disruptive on this. until we know how pervasive this is, you don't dive in with both feet i don't think it is surprising travel is getting crushed right
5:11 am
now. i know cruise industry has come back after an illness but we are in a social media world. to see these pictures every day of cruise lines stranded off the coast. passengers turning into patients, drying their laundry on deck. that is a visual these companies will have to deal with if they are going to get their industry back, it will be deeply discounted for several years >> what worries you the most in the next couple of months as we get out of this seasonal flu here in the united states and around the world and this thought that maybe the coronavirus starts to abate by maybe march, april, may this time around? >> the expectation is that it will behave like the flu and calm down and we can resume but i think starting this engine back up will take some is time
5:12 am
the drop will be deeper than forecasted i don't think the numbers coming out of china have been very reliable if we have global gdp depressed greater than we think. it will suppress numbers for the year these low interest rates reflect that the oil markets reflect that i think it will be deeper, we will recover but it is not going to turn on a dime. >> thank you for those market thoughts the largest virus hot spot outside of asia is in italy for nearly a dozen towns in northern italy are locked down with more than 200 infected so far joining me from italy, we know the area here accounts for nearly a third gdp in italy and
5:13 am
it is on lockdown. how worried should people be about the situation in northern italy? >> i think the most important point is that the italian economy is already particularly weak the last gdp numbers in q4 were very poor. these regions account for over half of italian exports and a third of gdp having this at the time of fragility is worrying. >> what is the government feeling right now? >> we know there has been a coalition in place involving folks on the left and right to try and form a government here is there any stress because of this issue and perceived effect on the economy >> there is two levels
5:14 am
there is an italian level and the relation with the eu there has been criticism of the prime minister, there has been disagreements between him and the regional government and how they are handling crises for the moment, they have been overshadowed by the events on the ground maybe giving italy a bit more wrigle room. >> is there a sense among people in italy right now in a bid to
5:15 am
stock up on goods. >> tell fish yans are telling people not to do this. i'm not continuing with signs as normal we are seeing alarming pictures of shelves completely empty. at the same time, italy is still functioning as normal. the main effect is the secondary effects of tourism are people going to hold off on visiting these regions that is unclear. because the economy is so weak, this could deal some serious damage >> thank you for the update on the situation. we appreciate it >> this morning's corporate

specifically is at 30% the transport ministry also weighed in with some what disturbing numbers when you look at how they are categorizing work for railways at the airports on the highways they said construction and activity at various projects is subpar these projects rely on migrant workers who haven't been allowed to travel or have been reluctant to travel. the government also said it is going to continue to ban flights in and out of the province it is also another indicator is that what happens at the schools and how long the schools will

we were green. the dow would open up by 10 points at this stage joining me now, chief strategist seema, you are seeing the european trade play out. u.s. futures seem to be deteriorating. >> if you see a sharp drop like yesterday, it would tend to have a rebound yesterday. the fact that this doesn't look like it is coming through suggest that investors were reluctant to buy the dip >> why are they reluctant to buy the dip? over the past years, it has been a winning strategy these have been v-shaped every time there is a pull back.
5:42 am
why is this time different >> i think it has moved beyond comparisons to sars. we are in a condition where china is much higher impact. on top of that, news over the weekend was very concerning with regard to the rest of the world. many markets had peeked with record highs, it does seem the peek of the virus had hit. suggesting the situation may be worsening and may be downgraded some what. >> what you didn't see is there are three stages you've laid out with regard to how you see this going. take us through those stages and why we are not seeing a bigger bounce this morning?
5:43 am
>> absolutely. the first stage is where we would expect a few weeks ago you are largely contained with a rebound in march the second stage is creeping in over the next few weeks and take longer to get started. the news over the weekend when you take to stage three where a real fear over where china was the rest of december over the new market these fears are exaggerated. this is really why you saw a very sharp drop yesterday. >> is this a scenario right now given the three stages now and headed towards those top three in the possible scenario would you be looking to put protection none and how would
5:44 am
you do that? >> given that there is so much uncertainty, potentially the best thing to do is start increasing the u.s. dollar, treasuries and pressure metals. high quality, fixed income assets those best places require asset protection >> that doesn't bother you at all given 30-year bonds. near record lows, it seems so expensive, you are paying up for that insurance >> absolutely. that goes without question that is extremely expensive. look, the market is vulnerable to any news flow waiting to see how this pans

5:50 am
when they travel, they spend more money abroad than at home you think about the picture of the chinese consumer being locked out at this point, it will have an impact from burberry, montclair, lvmh. >> we are showing now lvmh shares they've already ls 7%. many of these appear as though there on discount. would you be stepping in to buy some of these names now? >> absolutely. two of our top picks we kept into 2020, montclair and lvmh. if you say, let's assume in six months, there is a solution here, these are the brands you

5:57 am
here with the s&p, you mentioned the steep fall there that is now 60 basis points higher than the 10-year yield. get your money back at 1.3%. or invest in the market with positive earnings. we may have slowed growth. it is starting to look a little attractive on the levels here. are you looking at the index basis or certain stocks? >> that's a great question when you look at the leaders here, there has been a handful of names they've been big leaders you can play those i like the semiconductor sector here the uptrend, it is still in tact we break the low-end range here, i'll be looking at the 132
5:58 am
level. then maybe there is negativity maybe this is an opportunity to dip in and bounce off the correction levels. often times we talk about the oil markets and how you view them as well energy has been hard hit is this a buy now for energy >> it is a different story that will play on global growth. we've been talking about the coronavirus. clearly, there is probably going to be a slow down. when you look at negative yields in europe, there is a slow down they may be talking about. that will play on the energy market and why you you are seeing a decline it seems like any rally we get on the oil market is that there are selling pressures that occur that are able to sell the
