people and maybe other members of congress on the latest spending plan. here is how we look ahead of all that with futures. they are higher. not a lot, but up across the board. dow futures up 30. s&p 500 edged higher yesterday and every time it closes higher, you guessed it, ends with another record high. that is what happened with the s&p 500 yesterday. nasdaq composite up just about 10% so far year to date. it has been a little bit choppy, but a solid year for most of the major averages you will have plenty to chew on with the number of high-profile earnings and guidance on tap today. if you are feeling a little bit sleepy, here is what jim cramer said on twitter. he said, quote, we are entering the gauntlet
5:03 am
the most important 72 hours of the year get fired up or go home. find out later why jim said that and one of the stocks we are talking about today is tesla record income of $438 million. beating revenue and earning expectations part of that was not cars. it was tesla's sale of bitcoin and other regulatory credits environmental credits. speaking of cars, tesla did say it delivered 185,000 of them during the last quarter, more than double the number from a year ago shares of tesla are down a bit not a lot. off 3% after rising 9% on monday during the session. let's look around the world now. a muted trading session. most places are waiting on stuff that we just talked about. japan was down sha shanghai, a fraction
5:04 am
markets in the uk are waiting for our day here tomorrow, we are seeing a mixed trade in almost every market which is basically flat. let's step out is side of the markets and talk about something important. devastating toll the covid crisis is taking in india. death toll nearing 200,000 indian authorities have called in the army to help to distribute scarce oxygen supplies and aid from america and britain and germany. gilead sciences is giving 450,000 virals of remdesivir and help boost production in the bid to combat and treat the surge there. royal caribbean, temporarily suspending all assignments from the staff in india and halt hiring in the country. that according to the report by cruise industry.
5:05 am
we have the latest look from india and what is happening on the ground it looks like a very devastating situation. what >> reporter: that's right. there is a tick in the number of cases today from yesterday india with new covid cases it was a decline from the peak of cases reported on monday. the total tally of infections in the country today is now 1.76. out of these, over 28.2 cases are active 2,771 fatalities were reported today. taking the death toll over 1.98. in the national capital, 2,221
5:06 am
cases were reported. the positivity rate is 95% health ministry says a steep rise in daily cases has been witnessed and crossing the first peak reported on april 5th almost all states are witnesses a tragedy that is higher than what was reported in the previous wave which is concerning for the government. hospital infrastructure is getting stressed in some parts of the country health ministry has cautioned doctors and people have to use oxygen and remdesivir. health ministry has requested h people to wear masks at home national capital ministry is dealing with the shortage as
5:07 am
hospital bed numbers are piling up the government has decided to import oxygen tankers from bangkok. they will allow use of air force planes of this delhi will import oxygen tanks from france. meanwhile, india is reporting oxygen concentrators and remdesivir and other essential equipment will help battle the worst hit so far back to you. >> thank you for that look of the situation in india the world is watching. thank you very much. india matters to the global economy. india with a $3 trillion gdp 12% of the global supply chain and consumer and importer of oil. third biggest in the world investors are watching the situation closely. it is not just that.
5:08 am
earnings also key for us here. so far, earnings that we have seen have been nothing short of spectacular. let's bring in gina sanchez. chief market strategist and cnbc contributor. everybody is wishing india the best as well and watching it from the human perspective and balancing out earnings do you feel the focus, overall, has shifted back to guidance and numbers because for a year -- by the way, obvious and rightful reasons -- we have been focused on the global pandemic >> yes in the united states, we are almost feeling we are having an entirely different experience than the rest of the globe if you look right now, a lot of these numbers have a very easy
5:09 am
comm we are looking to where the economy shut down and the numbers are spectacular. they are coming in largely within expectation the market has really shifted dramatically we have seen the markets getting very negative for three months basically anything with low volatility we saw the really big rise in value stocks growth at a reasonable price was really out performing the rest of the market. the market has shifted back to a risk on position we think that is an interesting shift right now. >> yeah, is the risk going to be back on where the risk was on prior to the risk being off which is big technology -- you know the names faang stocks and a few others -- or will they go to the cyclicals?
5:10 am
people make giant tractors and other industrial gear which are not sexy, but getting a little bit of traction. >> i think the trade is a very real trade pent-up demand is what we are experiencing right now certainly i'm in los angeles we see more people in restaurants. people are shopping. there is an incredible pent-up demand not in just discretionary, but also machinery all of these are experiencing strong cap and trade if you look at the last three months, the market preferred growth at a reasonable price that is where you still had to have growth, but it could not just be value for value sake that is one of the reasons we think tech actually continues to put one foot in front of the other and not just small baby steps, but continuing to grow. this is a sector that didn't slow down in the pandemic. the outlook before the pandemic
5:11 am
before the seegsegments, micros for examples, microsoft's cloud business will grow it put focus on the business continuity and remote working and those concepts everything that was there to propel it is still there that doesn't go away we think there is still room to run in tech. there is catch up as well. >> we got the fed meeting today and goes into tomorrow i feel like we hear from fed speakers almost every day now. i find odd that's their prerogative i feel like the fed, there is nothing they can do to help the markets. they can only hurt at this point. policy probably couldn't get any more easier or kwqauntatatie could you like to say nothing's
5:12 am
cha changing there is something the fed could do to help the market if need be you know what i'm saying they are putting their foot on the gas pedal for a while now. >> one of the things that fed chair jerome powell is doing is actively coming out saying the inflation we're experiencing and building in the markets and certainly seeing build up in the tiff market is transatory and short-term there is supply chain disruption and the economy pre-pandemic and post-pandemic economy. it is getting going in fits and starts it is causing short-term inflationary reaction. that is really ywhat people need to continue to listen to does that rhetoric change? that is what causes the fed to move they have such a momentum bias
5:13 am
in the framework, it will be 12 months before they move. >> yeah. i talked to a market insider a couple of days ago off the record a former fed official said the fed wants to quote super charge, the american economy particularly ahead of the 2022 mid-term elections which everyone has their eye on. gina sanchez, best to you. we'll see you soon thank you. >> thank you, brian. all right. we are getting started when we come back, your morning's big money movers including shares of gamestop taking off again. if you have not already booked the summer travel, you may be too late.

it is time now for the morning rbi. today, we are looking into the travel crystal ball. remember, we have been talking a lot of the coming boom in travel particularly by plane. it is already happening a little bit. three of the last four day, 1.5 million americans have gotten on a flight in the states china is the real tell about what maybe going to happen what's happening there may be a precursor to what happens here according to flight aware, china air traffic is now above where it was pre-pandemic. that's the little circle orange is this year. blue is 2020 purple or black is 2019. commercial flights in china are now busier than they were in late april of 2019 months before the hit of covid basically for air travel, covid
5:22 am
in china, is completely gone it is not just flights tom-tom driving data shows for a few moments a week ago, beijing had more car traffic congestion than in march of 2019. not 2020 2019 stay home. work from home doesn't look like it at least in china where everyone is back on the road or back in the skies. random, but interesting. may be a precursor of what happens here it is not just china new data out this morning shows u.s. travel is on the rebound and so is spending joining us now is jason woolsey from adobe good morning, jason. you track spending data trends what kinds of trends is adobe seeing for the american consumer
5:23 am
and travel i imagine they are loading up the credit cards to load up the planes this summer. >> that's right. we have a regular tsunami of activity not only travel data with flights and hotels looking up. not as aggressively as they are in our region where lockdown and some of the controls in place had very early merges in that region not expected they would lead the charge as we reemerge into a normal digital society we crunch numbers all over the place looking at how the shift from physical goods to digital goods have impacted. what we expect that durability to be. as yyou are thinking of the digital first world, some habits are durable. consumers as they gain confidence in going back to stores are hanging out with the
5:24 am
digital touch points and associated with shopping online sdplonline >> i have been looking at a trip over christmas break the numbers two to three weeks ago, the flights, the seats, the costs. seats are going down rooms are coming down. the costs are coming up. it is not inconceivable. this is one of my predictions at the end of last year i thought vegas would be full by labor day. i'll be delayed on that. how much activity are you seeing with flights and hotels? >> that's a great question we drove down into the data. bookings for march are up 110% versus the weeks before the rollout of the vaccine up 57% in february and 39% in january. the sentiment we are seeing is very much real we have pent-up demand there is a tremendous amount of
5:25 am
american travel yet to be done this year. i think we are starting to see the signs that consumers now have confidence and the cdc regulations and the controls are starting to be effective frankly, we have vaccine rollout in the hundreds of millions which gets people confident. >> that actually -- yeah, it matters a lot in many ways i'm not knocking or flexing on my northeast friends we were the first ones to get hit. i don't know where you are, jason, we got destroyed. it was a terrifying few months in march through june of last year your data shows that the northeast, which we get people make fun of us because we're driving in cars by ourselves with masks on. people are scared. it reflects in the travel data we in the northeast are the last to book, are we not? we also are the biggest
5:26 am
vaccination impact once we're vaxxed, we're ready to get back. >> that's right. the propensity to travel is more conservative in those regions. the vaccination proclivity is high you are seeing broad distribution of vaccine. that will, at some point, lift the sentiment of the consumers and get them back out into the overall economy. hotels are another area where we are starting to see the turning of the corner. booking is up over 50% of hotels prior to the vaccine rollout 54% versus january following the flight track we are starting to see, you know, americans ready to get back out there and put the stimulus dollars to work >> based on some of the air fares i'm seeing and how they are going up, the sullivans may be driving over christmas break.

5:35 am
ways and means committee we got the look at the investing for what they are calling human capital. he is rolling out a plan for benefits and tax credits targeted at working parents and families >> 8.5 million jobs have not been recovered yet 4 million people have stopped looking. many of those, i suspect, were women who had to choose between gainful employment and child care when schools closed down. >> reporter: now he wants to provide universal paid family and medical legave that would last 12 months and would be two-thirds of the typical workers wages. he wants to expand the child tax credit and earned income tax credit and child independent care credit. that is further than president biden said he is willing to go i asked him how he wants to pay for all this
5:36 am
specifically if erhe raises tax on capital gains >> we will do the design and then address the revenue treat it as an economic investment this is increasing productivity and increasing stability in our homes. >> reporter: neal plans to make the case of the cost of not acting, brian. the past year taught us the current system is not sustainable. back to you. >> all right, ylan, a lot to unpack here. congress member neal is in a high tax state a lot of rich people that could get hit live in massachusetts, new jersey, maryland, virginia, et cetera. i imagine other democrats will say, yo, let's slow this down. we are all in favor, but talk about the cap on the state and
5:37 am
local tax deduction. i have to imagine other democrats have a lot of input, shall we say, into this plan >> reporter: that's right. there is certainly a lot of jockeying to shave the american families plan from the biden administration there is a contingent of lawmakers, bipartisan who will not vote for anything unless it removes the state and local cap dedu deductions others are pushing for more. bernie sanders wants to revamp medicare others are also joining in with congress member neal to see the tax credits permanent. they would address drug pricing as well. there is a lot of inter-party lobbying over what the bill would look like. to pay attention to the most important voice is richard neal because he is the one responsible for writing the bill in the first place >> ylan mui, great interview

a lot of talk of the taxes democrats' tax plans will hit democrat-run states. we will see if the citizens are going to vote for taxes on them sells. ylan, thank you. let's talk tesla better than expected quarterly results and a record profit. revenue up 74% from a year ago for more on the electric automaker's road ahead is the cnbc contributor tim we talked bitcoin and the tesla balance sheet. talk about the connection. for tesla, it is not all about selling electric cars. there is crypto action impacting the numbers. how so >> you got that correct. we found out in the first quarter that tesla put some of the money and cash into bitcoin.
5:39 am
we never really understood why we got an explanation with the earnings call from the cfo it is about cash management. they wanted to get return and still have access to it later this year when they face potential head winds they are trying to bring on two new assembly plants this year. tesla's listings are painful to berth. there are concerns about the micro chip shortage in the auto industry they want the cash available and want to have returns that is what they are telling us today. >> yeah. i guess elon musk is -- i don't want to call it a spat -- but replying to dave portnoy suggesting they sold bitcoin to show bitcoin has ample liquidity and they stocked up on it.
5:40 am
if you are selling something in bitcoin, you need to have it it is like having change in the cash register drawer you can't give change if you don't have the cash in the drawer tim, it is also nice to have a pad. tesla has gotten beef for the environmental credits. no matter what you do, you can do this with a creditor or that with a credit. this bitcoin a soothe for the balance sheet? >> you bring up the intereinteresting point. for years, tesla's problem is the cash and not having the sea legs yet with the electric carmaker it is able to raise cash because of the excitement in the market. they have been able to do that cheaply in the last year the question is why are you using this cash for bitcoin? don't you sneed it for the rain day? that is the criticism.
5:41 am
we are seeing that criticism now. as you point out, the way that profit is made up this quarter with those regulatory credits is a classic complaint from some investors that they are not making enough money off the sale of the vehicles. >> yeah. actual sale of cars. tesla is a, i guess, a car company. technology company ask 100 people and you might get 100 different answers. what are we seeing about the future of tesla? a massive jump in car sales. is this pace sustainable supply chain production constraints evs are coming on the market tim, any sign that the audi or other lucid air cars, are they hitting tesla or is it still the dominant force in the market >> it is still the company that
5:42 am
beat in the ev space we have seen some success in europe with competitors. tesla is still out there ahead of most companies. the challenge for the year is continuing to be the execution bring the factories online we have seen the model s and model x, older vehicles which are older in the tooth and they are refreshing them. they will start delivering in the second quarter that was a $200 million hit because of the way it is playing out. it illustrates the challenges on executing. if they are delayed with the factories, that will go forward into next year and delay the plans. wall street and investors are counting on those sales to propel next year remember, elon is projecting 50% growth into the future
5:43 am
>> 50% is a big number elon musk is a guy with big numbers everywhere he seems to keep hitting them. he is going to space he is selling us evs he is digging tunnels underground. who knows? tim higgins of wall street thank you. >> thank you coming up from electric cars to the red hot real estate market can anything pump the brakes on how hot that market has been maybe. we will speak with one eerxpt who is seeing a trend. stick around just over a year ago, i was drowning in credit card debt. sofi helped me pay off twenty-three thousand dollars of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that into one low monthly payment. they make you feel like it's an honor for them to help you out. i went from sleepless nights to getting my money right. so thank you.

cisco. the bridge to possible. welcome back we are set to get fresh housing data this morning with the latest index and pending home sales later on in the week real estate has been red hot with record sales and prices we are joined by jeff taylor jeff, price is a headwind. some prices in the bidding war are out of control is that the biggest headwind we're seeing or is it something else >> price is not the biggest headwind the big p evident is the bidding war are across the nation. here is what people are thinking about or talking about when it comes down to the housing market we talk about how tight the supply is.
5:47 am
what is the main issue when you look at generation x and generation baby boomers, when they were halfway through the cycle, they were in the move-up trade. they were getting into the house that was bigger. now the biggest driver in the housing market is the millennial group. 27 to 41 years old they were hrenters or living at home as they go into the marketplace, they are not putting anything in inventory. that is one of the major factors that is exacerbating the tight inventory market we are looking at right now hence, you have bidding wars and rising prices. >> there's no one putting their home up for sale they can sell and make a bunch of money or they have to sell in the same market and overpay for
5:48 am
something. >> my point there was they were renters. they don't have anything to put up for sale. they were renting or living with parents. now ready to buy they are looking to buy, but not selling anything the stat i tracked closely this week last year, there were 715,000 single residential family homes under contract. this week this year, 305,000 look how that shrunk and the home builders can sell $4 million homes if we can get the supply or build them quickly enough all of those things are really playing into the incredibly p hot real estate market we have and probably will have for another year or year and a half. >> is there any sign that this is cooling off on the macro level? jeff, the trend a couple years
5:49 am
ago, not me, but people saying millennials will never leave the city the suburbs are dead we will never drive again. suddenly everybody needs a car suburbs are red hot. is this just a pandemic reaction that's the question everybody has. did everyone flee the cities to go to rural and ysuburban offic and yard for the kids or is this a lasting trend? that is the question nobody knows. >> i think you are right like most things in life, the pendulum will never stay in the middle this will be a long-term permanent state. the thought process 15 months ago, if you wanted to have a certain job or certain career, you had to be in a major city. i'm not saying the remote work is a permanent thing, but many industries it is 50/50
5:50 am
that is the kids staying home from school and designed the way you want that is more reality versus the way we were conditioned to think about the jobs and careers you will see a lot of that moving forward in the next year or so. i also think a lot of the price depression especially in san francisco and new york, those markets which are rental and buying, those will come back thro those are amazing cities i think we will see people move back into the cities i still see the suburbs being a very hot place. >> listen, when you have a home office and you have kids and don't work from home, you sleep at the office and the apartment, however cool in brooklyn, that place get smaller when you have a few kids

5:56 am
