5:09 am
and watch the screen that was cycling down at this pace. that was because of the program trades that were put on and possible that yesterday, the second half of the day, 245 was possible the enormous rush from big back boxes that put in buy orders does that mean this can sustain us if the market was selling at a level on february 19 that was a bit overbought, naturally, i think there was reason to expect it to come down coronavirus or not. there was a lot of optimism in the market by the end of friday, huge pessimism. we had to see some recovery. >> there is no doubt, we have in roughly a decade-long run. it has been a long time since 2018 when you saw any real down

5:15 am
for investors. they say those commodities might be the better indicator about whether or not the global economy is slowing down. how closely have you been watching what is happening with regards to coronavirus >> it is very important. if you've watched the price of oil, wti, it is down 27% since january. that is a tremendous decline, it cuts out or should a lot of production here. if we see resuming of prices, that would be excellent for the energy ministry and it would show an underlying strength. we have seen such a debacle between too much supply, not enough demand. then sentiment against the fossil fuel industry that they

$6 $600,000 barrels a day up to a million. they will differ a big cut opec and saudi arabia realize this isn't about delivering a short term cut even about a big number this is about maintaining more or less through a reasonable level so that once demand does pick up, the prices can rally. this is about the future upside rather than delivering the short term quick upside to oil prices. >> i'm curious with china coming back on line, how much do you expect to come back per day from china? >> some of the numbers being talked about in china, demand fell by 50%. we don't think it is that steep. but in terms of normalization,

5:38 am
investment carrie firestone is still with us thank you for being here we'll start with you let's talk about what exactly drove yesterday's trading action kwun made it one that could have legs over the medium term? >> it started over the weekend with the central banks i don't think it was a surprise. at some point, they needed to hear this message they were coming together. at some point, markets thinking, okay, we are going to have a coordinated response, a lot of support whether fiscal and monetary wherever possible that's what you see in markets
5:39 am
you also eventually had to snap that long and violent losing streak it doesn't mean it is all clear. we'll see how it goes. it won't be a surprise to have a couple of days out and come back you are still going to have questions on growth. in the u.s. and trying to assess the impact having that backstop and the central banks and major governments as the support will always be helpful. >> so, interesting what she brings up here saying there may not be a bottom in place stopping others from putting the work so were you buying on that weakness, where are you putting that money to work >> if we looked friday on that

5:42 am

5:43 am
had a better performance as well >> how much of the market moves these days in this environment are going to be predicated on investors getting some sort of response together. is that necessary for markets to be constructive over the near to medium term? >> i think markets needed to hear you had that backstop most of what the central bankers were trying to do was to bring stability to the market. cutting rates will not make that big of an impact given what is concerning markets it does really help investor sentiment. this is 9 valuations better. how long do i want to stay out of this? am i worried this will stay out of the bounces
5:44 am
you needed to hear it and maybe put a stop to the skid it will take more to have a more sustainable move upwards >> how important is the coordinated response, is it necessary to make this thing last >> it is a good thing to have. remember, it was the coronavirus worrying investors if it appears to be receding in china, that's what the market will want to hear today. >> thank you for that. also, carrie, you are sticking around much more we can go into coming up, stocks feeling the impact of the coronavirus. names you need to know today are coming up next first we head to break looking at winners in the pre-market united, delta, american
