it is 5 a.m. at cnbc global headquarters and here is your top five at 5. the dow fails to break through the key 35,000 mark after a no good, really bad day for boeing shares time for a wednesday bounce back a very busy day in washington, d.c., as senate democrats reveal a $3.5 trillion budget that fills the gap for the human capitol infrastructure kathy wood doubling down on her deflation trade as she loads up on technology but grows sour on china details next.
5:01 am
cleared for takeoff. investors waiting for results from delta and more while sales and bookings may be up, there is still one key traveler yet to take to the skies in a major way. not just airlines, big banks front and center bank of america and wells fargo earnings today, wednesday, july 14th, 2021, you are watching "worldwide exchange" right here on cnbc. good morning i am dominic chu in for brian sullivan today kicking off your wednesday morning with stock futures showing a little bit of movement now you can see there we are indicated just marginally lower, about 35 points the down side for the dow. the s&p lower by 3 points and 27 points to the up side before the opening bell on nasdaq
5:02 am
this is after the dow failed to break through the 35,000 record level. blame boeing for most of that downward move. it's down 66 points. more on that move coming up later on on the show on the flip side, technology stocks coming off a record close once again with a half a percent gain, modest but still a record. the bond market certainly a key focus for many traders with a 10-year treasury note yield moving slightly lower on the day. a hair below the 1.4 level we'll keep an eye on the long-term bond crude oil, down about half a percent. u.s. benchmark, west texas intermediate to the early trade on the european side of things. drew moniker is standing by. happy wednesday morning,
5:03 am
joumanna. >> you can see most of these indices are trading in the red the ftse 100 in the u.k. is the relative underperformer down half a percentage point here we still have an inflation surprise out of the u.k. i want to flag that to your viewers. we have inflation at 2.5% for the month of june. that is higher than expectations boosted yet again by used cars which is a theme that continues to pop up in the u.s that is something u.k. investors are watching as well there is a little bit on the ftse 100 index not showing in the banks i'll get to that in a second cac carant in france, it is a holiday. it means the trading indices will be lighter than usual
5:04 am
germany down .2 of a percentage point with some of the industrials lagging. one of the major sectors we're focusing on is the banking sector there is a lot going on here not just because of the more positive results coming out of jpmorgan and goldman sachs, but also we had the bank of england announce the financial stability report that they are lifting some of the dividend restrictions so they now have the ability to pay out as many dividends as they want which is positive for the sector. hssc up 1/4. some of the other european banks traded lightly a little bit of green as far as that cyclical basket is concerned. however, another sector that is not doing well, travel continues to languish as we have these ongoing covid restrictions and things seem to be getting more onerous. i'll throw it back to you.
5:05 am
>> thank you very much. back on the home front, senate democrats unveiling a new multi-trillion dollar spending program. >> good morning to you senate democrats announcing late last night they reached a budget agreement amongst themselves that calls for 3.5 trillion in new spending over the next decade it will create a huge pool of resources all of which were in president biden's original infrastructure vision. president biden is expected to head to the hill to discuss a possible path forward. goldman sachs ceo david solomon said he was surprised by china's recent moves to boost oversight with regard to the technology sector solomon said didi could just be the beginning when it comes to the china ipo pipeline >> chinese have now put in a
5:06 am
process where they have a regulatory agency to sign off on items. if the chinese regulator signs off on the listings, there will be no listing. if they sign off in an affirmative way, there will be a demand for companies on a global basis for global investors we're seeing a shifting of policies coming from china we'll have to watch to see how that will unfold. >> the head of the competition watchdog is sounding off the rules targeting big tech were too narrow. he says the eu should instead model its rules on the german laws which talks about antitrust with anticompetitive practices. >> frank holland, thank you very much for that. let's get back to the markets and your money kathy wood is doubling down on
5:07 am
some old calls and making some new ones in the process as well. among her key take aways, deflation will become a larger force despite the recent spike in prices to 13-year highs wood believes in a bond market bubble adding too many people are afraid of inflation which is a killer for stock market valuations also taking on oil saying rising electric vehicle demand means she would not be on the long side of crude on china, woods saying there is a valuation reset happening right now in technology. from a valuation point of view, these stocks have come down and again from a valuation point of view, probably will remain down. woods ark invest has been selling its holdings in tencent,
5:08 am
et cetera. joining us is frank sarian and steve off. thank you very much for being here steve, if i might just start with you to lay out the macro picture here we mentioned some of kathy woods' calls this is a story driven market receipt now. what stories do you think are driving most of the trading action is it a very macro invasion crackdowns or very micro like bank earnings? >> right now the stories are the covid relapse potentially which we don't buy at all and concerns about fed poll is he we're on the opposite side of kathy on the number. significantly high yield, $90 target under invested for a very long time supply is not there. demand is surging. we've got inflation continuing pretty high here over the next
5:09 am
several months we think we're looking at nominal gdp this year around 10% and something like maybe 6 to 8 next year. so this is an environment where earnings are really soaring, particularly ofn the cyclicals and financials we're continuing to lean into that it's going to be choppy as the fed starts to get with the program but, gosh, they're just so dovish here it just seems like it's a real setup for a kind of goldie locks scenario for the rest of the year. >> so, greg, it's interesting. all of those points that steve just brought up have led to one word that i've heard a lot more than any over the course of the last several months, that is reflation. you hear about it in consumer
5:10 am
prices, in the stock market overall. do you believe steve is correct here do we continue to see legs for the reflationary trade they will at this point to maybe break through. >> i would agree with that, dom. thanks for having me back. we're going to see strong second quarter earnings numbers, 30 tensi-- potentially 30, 40%. investors need to bear in mind headwinds. look at where oil is, up 30% for the year look at labor costs. every ceo is talking about how they find labor. frank holland, how is that being paid for we do believe inflation is going to be a concern when we get to the end of the year tax reform is going to be a concern and the fed. the cpi number was hotter than
5:11 am
expected when you think the fed's going to signal jackson hole tapering if not when they begin to raise rates. this puts pepper into the markets near the end of the year. >> steve, you mentioned earnings, tail winds we have right now. there are a number of investors and traders believing there are comparability issues in the coming months meaning it was easy to go above and beyond the pandemic economy we had last year this time around. going forward, those comps become more difficult. what needs to happen for this market to be going higher? >> i'd say take a walk down main street this economy is gaining mo momentum you've been in lockdown for a year and a half. piles of cash everywhere the fed is still spraying gasoline on a forest fire, not water. things are really soaring. so i think you're going to see top line growth here continuing
5:12 am
to be quite strong in the back half of this year as it feeds on it self. i know -- i agree with greg that, you know, when the fed starts to talk a little bit about tapering, the markets will take a bit of a setback. we're actually rooting i think the risks here on the longer term basis are they take too long to get going. this economy can sustain 2, 2 1/2 year rates if they take too long, this inflationary cycle can take off. in the near term i think we have a pretty bullish setup >> greg, let's put some trades around this. you have to make investment decisions. what exactly would you go towards? is it still going to be the value trade or is it going to be different in terms of big technology, safety trade so to speak over the last several years? >> sure.
5:13 am
yes. i think a few things investors need to think about. from a planning perspective, charitable giving. the markets are hot. you have the rest of your life to give that money away. in terms of sectors, we like disruptive health care we think of not large cap farm ma but think of cell therapy, gene therapy cancer research is being driven by mna right now we're very much in favor of med tech, gene therapy the health care and life sciences fund. >> a lot more chatter about crspr. when we come back on the show, the buy now pay later sector as apple looks to get in

blockbuster reports from j.p. morgan chase and goldman sachs. delta fighting to fly high once again following pandemic-related turbulence. and senate democrats looking to go it alone rolling out their $3.5 trillion plan to fulfill president biden's domestic agenda ylan mui is standing by to break down what exactly is in that package. wednesday, july 14th, 2021 you are watching "worldwide exchange" right here on cnbc
5:30 am
welcome back to worl"worldwe exch exchange". i'm dominic chu in for brian sullivan futures pointing to modest moves at the opening bell. the dow is implied lower by 7 points nasdaq higher by 55. closing at a record. take a look at some of those other sectors. let's start with travel as we await delta airlines results airlines getting hit hard in the last week amid mounting concerns about covid variants taking a look at specific airlines, hawaiian holdings down and jetblue down 3% in that time span as well not much better for the cruise line industry. carnival following 8.5%.
5:31 am
norwegian 7% royal caribbean down 5%. stay at home stocks not seeing much of a pop. zoom and teledoc around 6% etsy has shed 5% doordash is down 3%. lumber's continued crash down more than 50% over the last two months that drop starting to show up in stocks with the wo-o-o-d or wood etf now down 8%. and thec---u---t washington, d.c., and new details with the senate democrat plan to legalize marijuana ylan mui joins us with the details there. what can you tell us, ylan >> reporter: top senate
5:32 am
democrats will unveil new proposal for legalization and tax action at the federal level. this will direct the u.s. attorney general to declassify it within 60 days of passage that will clear the way for the businesses to have access to the banking system the proposal would establish 21 as a legal age to buy marijuana in keeping with the trend in state laws but producing cannabis could come at a cost. the plan calls for a 10% excise tax for the first year of legalization climbs to 25% after five years and after that the tax is calculated according to weight and concentration but would equal 25% of the market rate of cannabis growers would get a break on the
5:33 am
first $20 million in sales the senators plan to use the new revenue aimed for neighborhoods targeted on the war on drugs dom, democrats want to get on their proposal by september 1st. schumer wants to get something passed by 4/20 >> i get the 4/20 reference there. here's my question, ylan if this is going to happen, what's the likelihood that we get real traction for this i ask this because many cannabis investors i talk to say many of these federal laws are perhaps maybe not even relevant these days because so many states are enacting some of their own contravening laws a the the more localized level. is it going to benefit the country to have more of a canned process, so to speak, with regard to how we tackle cannabis >> reporter: i think what's important about federal
5:34 am
legislation is it would allow the business to have access to the banking industry banking is number one. the second thing is it doesn't look like it's going to get a lot of republican support, both because of the way the money and revenue will be invested and because cannabis will be taxed in the first place you might lose some libertarians there. so the bill is important though because it provides sort of the marker for how senate democrats will move forward with legalizing marijuana it tries to set that framework for what this will look like down the road. >> certainly a jumping off point for that ylan, while we have you, we're following developments in the
5:35 am
push amongst democrats for president biden's domestic agenda unveiling at the $3.5 trillion budget proposal late last night. what exactly can you tell us about the likelihood of that happening? >> dom, senate democrats did announce last night they've reached a deal on the so-called human capitol portion of president biden's infrastructure plan, child care and medicare expansion and climate change that's a compromise. democrats are using the fast track budget reconciliation process to pass this which means all 50 senate democrats do need to get behind it but no republican support is required last night they said it is fully paid for by the wealthy.
5:36 am
i'm also told this does not need an increase in the debt ceiling. however, the treasury department probably has some wiggle room on that into the fall meanwhile, a bipartisan group of senators has been working on a much smaller package said they're hoping to have their own bill ready by the end of this week dom, democrats have repeatedly said they're moving down two tracks on infrastructure they appear to be making progress on both of those fronts. >> ylan mui with everything that's happening in washington, d.c. frank holland is back with those. frank. >> dom, fed chairman jay powell is set to kick off two days of testimony. powell will deliver the semi-annual policy report starting with the house financial services committee he's not looking to exit the easy money policy. powell has vowed the current strategy will remain until
5:37 am
substantial further progress is made on the fed's employment and inflation roles. solar winds is warning some customers that hackers have discovered and exploited a new vulnerability in the systems the software company in the center of that massive data breach said it was alerted by microsoft to this latest unrelated hack they'll be targeting certain products increasing output. they're suggesting that apple expects the first iphone launch since it will unlock additional demand dom, back over to you. >> thank you very much for that. delta airlines is set to report second quarter earnings before the bell today. investors will be looking for any guidance on the return to the skies and signs of international and business travel that's key, business travel
5:38 am
coming back. this after american airlines pre-reported yesterday for revenues to come in above expectations the ceo doug parker saying the company is moving in, quote, the right direction as it flew 82% more customers in the second quarter than it did in the first three months of 2021 for more on what to expect from airlines earnings season, sheila caillou. we often turn to you for all things in the sky. let's see if some of this is becoming an opportunity for certain investors to get in on the action they've had a big run since the pandemic end. >> they have over the last three months and when you look at these airlines, yes, they expect sales to be, you know, 37% below 2019 levels. it's not often that you see companies trade at such low valuations when their revenues are still 30 to 50% off prior
5:39 am
peak level to give you a taste. delta trades at 7% ebitda. that's historically where airlines traded. their earnings are 20% below prior peak airlines should be trading at higher multiples investors are not believing the earnings power in 2022, 2023 given the lack of visibility and the lack of return in international and corporate which are over 50% of their sales. we've seen the near remember to medium weakness in the stocks. are there places you would think you would be poised for better performance in the coming months given what you feel is a trajectory of things like international and business travel as well >> sure. we recently upgraded delta last month. the reason for that was about half of the asms are international of which about half is from europe.
5:40 am
we think europe will be the first to open followed by, you know, asia in two years' time. the european recovery will be sooner additionally, 50% of their sales are corporate, of which half are small/medium businesses. >> so delta, buy rate and target price 60 bucks from sheila i also want to get your take on what's happening right now with boeing it's a big coverage stock in your universe. that stock falling almost 5% yesterday. dragging down the entire dow with it. on concerns the company is expecting to deliver fewer than half the 787s currently in its income this year >> sure. >> we have production issues weighing as well there boeing is a key stock considered a huge bellwether for many parts of the market. what is the future for boeing in your mind? >> i think boeing has a lot of risk associated with it. right now it's in the max 787 sales. it has a lot of positive catalysts as well. we could see china, if we could
5:41 am
see the 737s roll back they are losing some of that share to airbus right now. given the overall positive commercial aero, we think the precash flow will generate free cash flow in the time frame. the stockstill has up side they have a lot of near term turbulence when you think about the max inventory run throughs, the 787 we're pro jeking they deliver at four a month and the production rates are lower on those. >> sheila, we know boeing gets a lot of attention because of the commercial aircraft side of things because it is such a high profile part of things in the business it's one of the biggest contractors out there. when you look at the balance of business in the next year or so, how much more of an emphasis is boeing going to have to place on the aerospace side of things, defense contracting side of things to counter what we're seeing on the commercial aircraft side? >> about 40% of the business is
5:42 am
defense. we expect their defense business to be flattish when we think of the other expense sides. the defense business is under performing given that they've won several big development grants in 2019, there's not a lot of margin leverage in that business. >> sheila, jefferys with the call on boeing as well. >> thank you very much. coming up on the show, are stocks proving to be too frothy. david solomon lays out whether he thinks valuations are just too high first, as we head out to break, some of your other top stories elon musk says the power walls is lagging as a result of the semiconductor shortage musk making that as the final day of testimony in the solar city trial it's up in this quarter. the entertainment company

roughly 32,300 and change. ethereum below 2,000 at 1935. as investors await another key round of earnings with the big banks once again in focus, those numbers are coming on the heels of goldman sachs blowout results. speaking exclusively to cnbc yesterday, goldman's ceo david solomon arguing the market's next leg hinges on the economy's next moves >> i think that the market is looking at the robust economic recovery we're having and it's pulling forward some of that recovery >> is it a bit risky >> it depends where the economic recovery is going. you are reporting on it. the market is catching up with the big strong economic recovery the big question is what do we
5:52 am
see in 2022, 2023 and how will the market rebalance at the moment the market is telling you growth is very, very robust. >> robust. that's a positive word for more on the trading day ahead. let's bring in john najarian you can watch him on the halftime report often. you heard the comments from goldman's ceo david solomon. is this a robust market dependent on a more robust economic recovery going forward into 2022 and 2023 >> it is both of those things. it's robust. the recovery is robust but the recovery might be too robust, dom, because as you know and as you've reported, inflation is running at the highest clip that we've seen in years. and of kocourse this is engineee
5:53 am
by the fed do they want as much as they've got? right now we're seeing, what, 5.4, 5.5% in that range inflation year over year that certainly says that there's demand out there and that people are spending that money. the question is whether or not that inflationary jump that we've seen in airlines, in used cars, new cars, in food prices, whether all of that changes the way the world looks at this particular recovery which has been, as you've said, very robust. >> jon, we're showing all the viewers and listeners a chart of the 10-year treasury note. we know massive amounts of central bank intervention are in many ways distorting what's happening with treasury and credit markets but still do you believe this inflation story is transitory like the fed is saying right now you can earn 1.4% for
5:54 am
10 years on u.s. credit. that's certainly, jon, not appearing to me at least, i'm a novice in the bond markets, it doesn't appear to me that signals any kind of run away inflation. >> no, and it tells you about the extreme demand there is for treasuries right now especially with that yield that you just described with so much of the world in more or less negative territory, dom i think there is a bunch of money for receipts for taxes at the treasury that meant there was less demand by the treasury to go out and raise more money in the short term now i think that that will be changing as we go into the fall, dom. one of those issues about transitory is i don't think in particular it will be as
5:55 am
