stockton >> good morning. >> this is a sector that has strong revenue growth and in a part of the economy where the consumers and businesses are starting to spend more on technology products. so far this year, growth has underperformed in recent weeks, we have seen it bounce back. i wonder what you see accounts for the change in tone >> we upgraded technology and consumer discretion area with the feeling the resevversal has interim shelf life maybe two or three months. not convinced it will last beyond that. we did see a major reversal down favoring value over growth we have seen momentum shift in the short-term they are rising over the interim position that position is building wealth we have seen rotation back in
5:05 am
mega caps like amazon and microsoft. these names have exhibited outside leadership of late the nasdaq 100 index is up almost six weeks in a row now. we really have seen a shift in momentum behind the mega caps to drive the major indices. >> that is the next question is it going to be led by the big five amazon, apple and netflix of the world? or is there an opportunity to look at the smaller midcap names within technology? >> well, to the mega caps point, the breakouts are real we see good breakouts aside from amazon which we are all scrutinizing the price action. if amazon cleared the highs, that would be a major breakout for it something to watch as a nice positive catalyst. we already have seen a breakout
5:06 am
of net flick these breakouts suggest they continue upside leadership if you look at the measures of market participation, the cumulative advanced decline line for ny stocks, that is the trends the pull back we saw last week was an oversold that we have not seen since the may low the readings within long-term suggest we can see broad participation even when we are getting leadership from the mega caps >> broad participation what does that mean for industrials? >> we have seen pull backs in the cyclical sectors those are healthy.
5:07 am
it is hard to buy pull backs you see the loss of momentum the measures fell right into their short-term support zones in some cases, especially in fina financials, they pulled to break points i think you will see destabilization. energy may be out of favor crude oil has held up well within the commodity complex contrast it with lumber. it does look poised for consolidation. not a dramatic correction of the nature that lumber has seen. we are looking for the energy sector which has fallen out of favor as we get the growth rotation. >> we have not seen that yet interesting forecast katie, thank you for your time when we come back. we reveal the top concerns of global corporate leaders.

welcome back cnbc is out with the latest global cfo council survey. revealing the top concerns kristina partsinevelos breaks down the concerns. good morning, kristina >> good morning. we talked about transitory, but inflation nation is a concern for cfos from the firms around the globe. our quarterly cnbc survey conducted this june, shows although covid risks are top of mind, but inflation is the next risk factor for the financial leaders. let's look at the stark contrast when inflation was not a
5:15 am
concern. now almost 20% of cfos are thinking about it. you see the yellow on the screen which shoots up. we surveyed from an array, but the discretionary sector will see the most considerably in the asian sector and it is time to show face as companies slowly return their work force, nearly half of all cfos, say they will be in-person heading into the second half of 2021 they will keep dishing out the dough. 61% will spend extra cash renovating existing workplaces 51% of cfos never expect company budget for employee travel to return to pre-pandemic levels. uber and car service and company shuttles
5:16 am
overall, because of the higher input cost, think of raw materials and labor. most say companies have to increase prices. and we come full circle because no wonder the cfos surveyed are worried about the raising costs of goods and because many are passing on to consumers. inflation is still top of mind s seema. >> clearly from the survey, it is a trend that will continue. kristina, thank you. now to a developing story this morning we are going to go to the news update from frances rivera >> good morning. just a few hours ago, the united states launched air strikes in the middle east. the pentagon says three targets in the strikes were weapon storage facilities

5:19 am
a year ago, according to the com score data, 1,000 movie theaters were open in america now there are 4,600 which represents 80% of theaters when universal released the date from 2020 to 2021, they really picked a good date here. you have vaccinations increasing and people wanting to get out of the house. more theaters available. you had big movies released. "a quiet place 2" and "a conjuring. that led to momentum and people getting out of the house and watch the movie on the big screen that is good news for the industry that was sidelined for about a year >> they got the timing right i'm curious if you take a step back and look at demand for movies at the theaters
5:20 am
what is it like? is it less or more >> i would say about as good as you can hope for and even better if you were going to write up a blueprint for what the recovery has been for movie theaters, you go back to "godzilla vv kong. still doing well at the movie theater. there was an idea by many over the past few months that the movie theater would not recover. that having so much great content at home and it is great to have streaming services, but there is something about the communal movie theater that held the industry in good stead. we are looking forward to a lot
5:21 am
of movies on the horizon fourth of july is key. then after that, you have "black widow" and "top gun. a lot of great movies. hope to keep the momentum going going. >> given the success of "f9" and "a quiet place 2," means you can have success >> i think you will see a lot of studios rethinking strategy. a lot of studios moved to the streaming day and date nmodel. now they are looking at the theater release and maybe that is the way to go dynamic windows are here to stay shorter windows than the

traditional 90 days. that being said, people really want to go to the movie theater. not just in north america. we showed over $405 million banked worldwide for "furious. this is not just a north american phenomenon. this is a global play for studios. >> if the demand is so strong, at what point do they raise prices you see that booking air fare. >> people are price sensitive right now. obviously. there are these businesses like the movie theater and travel and others that are raising prices because of the big demand.
5:23 am
i think right now it keeps people coming into the theater it gives them a reason to come back it is a value added proposition. going to the movie theater, even prices do complain about sometimes is still a bargain for getting out of the house you get to go into outer space in "furious" for a few bucks >> i feel like going to the theater. i haven't been to one in 18 months paul, thank you for joining us >> thank you straight ahead from silicon valley to wall street. the eco friendly show to give retail investors a piece of the action. if you haven't already, follow our podcast if you miss "worldwide exchange" check us out on dct poasapps we'll be right back. and greate! but even i'm not as memorable as eating turkey hill chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream with real cocoa.

we have jay gray outside miami beach. jay, good morning. >> reporter: seema, good morning. the frantic search started moments after the building fell to the ground. it only stopped once since that was yesterday as loved ones of those missing got the first look at the devastation up closely. crews are still pulling away pieces of the high-rise. >> picking up pieces of debris and allows for another round of the dogs that make the rounds that look for survivors and allow the paramedics embedded with the team and surgeons embedded with the teams to do their jobs >> reporter: a job that continues around the clock because these heroes understand time, like the elements, is an enemy. >> we heard taps we heard falling we heard twisting metal.

5:33 am
michael casey is chief content officer at coindesk. michael, thank you for joining us today the volatility we have seen in the asset class. you say it is not stopping institutional investors from holding cryptocurrency why? >> hi, se eema. there are endowments and others who are looking and exploring the asset class for some time. the volatility is par for the course it is an unfortunate reality, if you like, of how something like bitcoin is introduced to the world and it will have the volatility you have a number of institutions that will continue to look at that and understand and figure out how to work it into their portfolios. that is what institutional traders and others are telling
5:34 am
it is important to look at what is happening on the broader investment side. the investment in the servicing industry you know, last week a $2.2 billion crypto fund. you are seeing a lot of corporate and institutional and mainstream money coming in broadly into the sector across different vehicles that ultimately supports it. >> we have seen division with ethereum and bitcoin with performance this year. i wonder why you think that is >> it is actually they do tend to move in lock step to a larger step there is a patent one leads and the other follows. ethereum is a different value proposition. it is not to be thought of as a competitor of bitcoin. a lot of people do think that
5:35 am
and a lot of people inside crypto think that. ethereum is a form the fuel. it is a commodity used to run the ethereum network understand, it is a smart contract system. bitcoin is thought of purely as an asset to hold and asset to use as a form of digital gold. it is quite separate the market tends to lump them together at the end of the day, they tend to have patents that move over time. >> it seems the regulation store continues to derail bit down 2015 with janet yellen or now with the u.s. or china cracking down as well when do countries able to craft policy around cryptocurrency so it is less of a risk where are we
5:36 am
>> it is still a long game not only because of the fact it is bitcoin which is one part of it there are others which see the emergence of stable coins. you have the decentralized exchanges which is challenging the exchanges. now a decentralized move with that defi feeds into it as well it is an ever fast moving and changing and highly innovative sector as a result, you will find governments everywhere i don't know we will ever get to the point that regulatory risks or the idea of uncertainty around regulation is going to go away it's an inherent part. >> the regulatory risk is something investors have to get used to with bitcoin and

5:42 am
calling. clearly want to get back and going to normalcy. >> with the first sailings expected to restrict the number of passengers, how could that impact the path to profitability? i'm joined by the managing director at web bush securities. i was on that ship on friday it is running at 40% capacity which we know needs to be higher for the ships to break even and be profitable. i wonder how quickly the cruise lines can add more passengers and still abide by cdc rules >> there is a dual path the industry will take to get back on the water ships like "celebrity edge" where the vast majority of passengers and 100% of the crew vaccinated in short order they will get back to 100%. as the industry standard, 100%
5:43 am
plus capacity. there are other ships where vaccinations are not required or do not surpass what is a 95% hurdle of vaccinations or capacity ramp will take somewhat longer i would expect by the end of the year and probably first quarter next year where things will get closer to what we would think of as normal ity in the cruise industry >> we spoke to a number of passengers which are eager to get on board they were more cautious on board. not partake in all activities. some would stay on the cruise for seven days not disembark and participaexcus does that mean the cruise line will make less money over time
5:44 am
>> in the interim. i think it will take time. i think people are going to slowly dip that initial toe in the water. i think over time, we will ultimately get back to how we used to live the cruise industry,if you remember, was ground zero of the pandemic there were fears that not only would you catch the virus on board, but that you would ultimately be stranded the industry has done a great job of hitting a lot of the fears head on and making passengers feel comfortable. it will not happen overnight sdplchovernight. >> what would you say is the top cruise line? >> royal has been our favorite for a number of reasons.
5:45 am
they had a lot of good momentum heading into the pandemic. they will have the best coming out. their balance sheets have also held upp better than the other two. they had to take on significant amounts of debt. royal is the least so. as we exit, the amount of leverage and delusion that shareholders are seeing is less at royal versus carnival. >> we will watch the first couple sailings to see if it is smooth sailing or choppy waters. james, thank you on deck, alliance is here with two esg picks that could be perfect for the environmental conscious investor if you haven't already, follow our podcast check us out on apple or spotify

to d.c. and the s.a.l.t. tax. states like new york and new jersey struggling for relief and the closer look at the numbers suggest the caps put in place by president trump are here to stay robert frank has that story. good morning, robert >> reporter: good morning, seema. high earners cheer the news that bernie sanders is supporting s.a.l.t. relief. the amount in the budget, $120 billion over five years is less than a third of the repeal of the s.a.l.t. tax he is talking about a partial repeal democrats were talking about a cap of $10,000 to maybe $20,000 or $25,000 now experts in d.c. tell me the focus has shifted to an income test that would eliminate the cap for those making less than
5:49 am
$400,000, but keep the full cap for those making more than $400,000 that answers the criticism of the repeal of the s.a.l.t. tax benefits the wealthy it creates a new income cliff. a new york payer with $399,000 of a taxable income if they earn $401,000, only $2,000 more, they would be subject to the cap and they have to pay $12,000 a year more in taxes. an income test could create because of that some strange incentives to keep reported income below $400,000. democrats from high tax states continue to press for a full repeal nothing is decided here. since most of the benefits of the full repeal go to the top
5:50 am
1%, it looks increasingly unlikely the cap will be eliminated more likely we get income test or perhaps increase in the cap seema. >> according to s.a.l.t. relief, how important or significant is it that bernie sanders is supporting this s.a.l.t. relief? how far are we from big changes to the tax code? we have talked about it for a while. when should we expect changes? >> it was important that bernie sanders included s.a.l.t. relief there were headlines that said bernie sanders supports s.a.l.t. elimination. everyone thought this was a sign that all of the members say they would not support any bill unless there was s.a.l.t. relief and gotten their way you dig into the numbers and it is a third of the total cost of repeal it is only partial i think, again, 57% of the benefit of the full repeal of
5:51 am
s.a.l.t. go to the top 1%. in today's democratic party, to see bernie sanders support any reform was big, but unlikely they support a full elimination. so much of that would just go to the top 1% >> important context there robert, thank you. have a great day stocks are coming off another positive week with the s&p 500 posting the best performance since february it is another busy week ahead as we round out the month and second quarter a host of economic data where reports on home prices and consumer confidence and manufacturing and hiring in the private sector and jobless claims and factory orders. it is all topped off by the non-farm payrolls on friday. we have valerie grant with us now. valerie, good morning to you >> good morning. >> i know you focus a lot on
5:52 am
esg. it is all the rage i want to start the conversation there. i was looking at the clean energy etf valerie, they are down 30% this year compare that to big oil and leading producers. they are up 45% on average the popular explanation is the demand equation. what is your take? >> my take is the renewable energy stocks are categorized at growth stock we know is there a selloff and many of the growth stocks not just in renewables and clean energy, but other sectors of the market as well i think some of this is related more to the factor exposure of investing in renewables. those should recover
5:53 am
in terms of oil prices energy prices have been up really as a function of the recovery and economy and the surge in demand. we know that there's a tight correlation with the energy stocks and underlining price of oil. that's what we have seen there whether that will persist, i think, is a different matter we know over the long term, the energy stocks have underperformed significantly >> highlight of the calendar is the jobs report friday over the weekend, senator pat toomey has been a lead of the fed's policy the fed is risking being behind the curve. do you agree >> in terms of the fed being behind the curve, meaning responding too late to inflationary pressure, i assume what you are implying. >> exactly >> i don't necessarily agree with that. i think much of the inflationary
5:54 am
pressure we are seeing is transient. we are confronting a challenging situation now with the reopening of the economy happening at a very uneven level. we have a lot of supply chain bottlenecks. we have a lot of shifts in demand and mismatch in demand and supply i think over time will likely abate. the one area that i think will persist in terms of inflation is wage inflation that is a consistent level of feedback i hear from ceos and cfos of companies. it is taking more to get companies back into the labor force. there were probably companies over earning who will have to make adjustments to the compensation and benefits to attract employees. >> i see that gm is one of your top picks in your portfolio. why is that? >> gm is an interesting company in terms of how they are looking at the future of the electronic
5:55 am
vehicles and leaning heavily into that in terms of the investing capital and way they are thinking of developing automobiles for the future that is one. secondly, they are focused on safety they have a very strong competitive position in the suv and crossover market which is the most profitable market in the automobile industry. several years ago, people would have counted gm out. they seem to have really gotten back up off the mat, so to speak, given their commitment to electronic vehicles. >> it is fascinating to see how gm is up 45% out performing tesla do you think that continues? >> we will see i think there is room for multiple players in the secular trend within the automobile industry you see strong performance from ford as well i think that companies that are
5:56 am
wise are investing heavily in the area tesla is more of a growth stock. i mentioned the growth stocks suffered recently. gm traditionally has value characteristic >> within technology where would you put your money >> within technology, we have a wide range of exposure to the large technology companies as well as software and services. one of our core holdings is paypal paypal really enables small and medium sized businesses to participate in the shift to electronic commerce. that's actually worked out well for us that's just an example of the holdings >> paypal down .50% in pre-market it had a strong year up 23% part of that has to do with bitcoin. valerie, we will leave the conversation there thank you for joining us valerie grant. the nasdaq is higher around
