5:10 am
welcome back as europe stays on the knife's edge of an energy crisis this winter, vladimir putin is not showing he wants no sign to help tracking data shows that natural gas flows on a pipeline from russia to germany continue to flow east not west in other words, instead of bringing natural gas to germany, the gas is flowing from germany into poland. and there's already concerns
5:11 am
about energy shortages across much of europe what does this mean for gas prices and the coming winter, let's get more from the head of gas and power markets resource at rystat energy what do you make of what's going on with russia, putin and the pipelines? >> there's a lot of uncertainty in the gas market at the moment and it's how much gas russia will be supplying in the coming weeks. so far we haven't seen any additional supplies from russia materialize and this is what's driving the uncertainty. so it's like if we don't see the additional gas supplies, prices are likely to remain very high and we go into a colder than average winter, we could be even higher. >> and we have been here talking about how there is very little supply of natural gas in the uk. thankfully wind power has started to come back up, they had a dry wind spell there
5:12 am
it's picking up, but europe is in a difficult situation i'm not going to ask you to put your political hat on, don't worry. does it seem that vladimir putin may be playing political games to try to get the nord stream ii pipeline approved? >> there is speculation around this, the official is that they were refilling their storages before sending more gas to europe now they have managed to field this and it's just a matter of sending the additional supplies to europe. so it could be a way to like move forward like the certification of the nord stream ii pipeline faster definitely. i don't think the higher russian flows will materialize until the nord stream ii pipeline comes online at least not at that large ex extent. >> if we could put the chart back up we had a chart of dutch natural gas futures.
5:13 am
i know people in the united states are saying why are you showing that why do i care? that is the european story we are off our highs, we hit over 100 euro per megawatt hour a couple of weeks ago but we're still 400% above the five-year average, what does that mean for europe and where do you see that going? >> i mean, the prices reached their record high like into this uncertainty about russian supplies and also the low stock levels across europe and they start to decrease only on the speculations of russia sending more gas and putin like ordering gas to send more volumes but given that the -- it has not materialized we've seen the prices over the last few days, due to the continued uncertainty. but definitely this level is still very high, like for the european players, residential.
5:14 am
so this will hit the economy of the region, if prices remain at the high level or the remainder of the winter. the thing is they will remain very high. >> do you think that they will, carlos >> very likely, yes. at least until december. once we enter january there's more certainty about how the rest of the winter will be developing there could be dropping but it's likely they'll remain at a high level this year, and people in the industry will have to be ready to pay the high bills. >> what is the best case scenario for europe? i want to try to end this on an optimistic note because it's a scary time for people facing crushing power bills even with regulated caps what's the best case scenario? is it all about the weather right now? >> definitely weather is playing a bigger role because there will be less supply, so if the winter turns out to be milder than
5:15 am
normal, this will help prices correct and maybe come out the current highs. and also there is potential for seeing additional supplies from russia, even if i believe the major supplies will be coming until nord stream ii is commissioned, i think there's potential for seeing higher supplies from russia so the combination of milder temperatures and supply from russia could help the situation. >> so basically europe is counting on two things, the weather and vladimir putin could be a tough winter. thank you very much, carlos. appreciate it. still on deck, your big money movers of the morning, three key stock stories to start your day plus the battle for your kids' eyeballs what netflix is now doing to take on tiktok >> announcer: today's big number $1.2 trillion.

5:34 am
the new jersey state commission of investigation which looked into bitcoin atms, finding many operating with virtually no oversight, even though the owners must register with the financial crimes enforcement network. >> there's no id, no photo take even, no address. >> and that opens the doors to criminals? >> yes. >> what do they do with it >> anything, money laundering, dark web fraud scams. >> reporter: more than $70 million deposited for crypto purchases between 2015 and 2020. many companies allowed customers to buy up to $900 with only a cell phone number or no information at all. >> is that a bad idea? >> based on what we found it could be any name and your cell phone number could come back to anybody. >> reporter: which is handy for money laundering and drug traffickers, which they're using
5:35 am
to aid in elicit bulk currency we wanted to see how easy it was to buy with just a phone number. so a kng producer tested it out. after getting a text warning of scams, it only took a minute to complete the transaction a spoke sperson said they take knowing customers' identities seriously. if they can't verify who's buying crypto, the machine will ask for an id. mark green is trying to clean up the crypto atm industry. >> these customers would not believe that they want to be victims and they would state i'm going to go to other bitcoin atm companies who never ask questions and let me purchase what i want. one study found nearly 75% of all the elicit funds leaving

5:38 am
all or at least the least amount as possible. he wants people not involved in the banking industry to be involved in crypto but the lower your security, the more possibility you have for fraud, brian >> and obviously, what he said is important but you could also frame everything sort of in that way and say, ignore over this, we're focussing on that. i don't know what it's like near you, where i live in new jersey, seems like every single mom and pop owned convenience store, i'm talking independently owned, has a crypto atm and big banners on the outside promoting it >> yeah. this is huge and it's come up pretty suddenly these things have been around for years now, going back to 2014, 2015, and later. but, you know, people are not used to seeing them just yet and i think the regulators are still catching up to this.
5:39 am
what's interesting is it's a pretty decentralized industry. a lot of small companies we went to chicago to interview those two companies out there. but these are not major financial institutions that are in the space you don't see a lo of big guys doing it the challenge for regulators is to find people putting these machines out there in public and making sure they're complying with basic standards but regu regulation, as you saw in the piece is all over the map. >> great stuff as always something we have to watch for appreciate it, my friend take care. coming up, even more of your big money movers, including paypal's new partnership with one ecommerce giant i'm guessing you may have heard about as we head to break other big headlines on this tuesday morning. today's alphabet is brought to you by the letter "t" as in $2 trillion because google's

random but interesting thing is going to have a british flavor, not vinegar on french fries but power flavor and a little history. with the climate summit going on in scotland and the u.s. talking about a looming energy shortage here, there, whatever, it's important to know about our history and future while the future may ride with the wind and sun, wind power is nothing new. in fact, the very first wind turbine was built here in the uk and in scotland, to be exact near where the u.n. climate is it was built in '87. not 1987 1887 that's right old james blythe, hated fossil fuels, he found them dirty, disgusting, expensive and dangerous. so he built a windmill attached to a generator on his home's roof it worked well.
5:49 am
soon after he built another one on top of a hospital the first public utility wind turbine in the world and it ran for 30 years now blythe died in '36 and his windmills came down soon after and his ideas were lost with the wind it wasn't until 63 years later that the next wind turbine would be built in the uk now it's the future of power in the uk or maybe the world. so a toast to professor blythe who built the first wind power two centuries ago. stock futures pointing to a struggle for another day we're worried about the future let's bring in margie patel and s seema shaw that little rbi about wind power was not just interesting about
5:50 am
the scotts and their wind power. it's because you have written about the green energy transition we talk a lot about it and how in the short term it might be inflationary on certain levels you think it might be inflationary on more levels. explain. >> hi, thanks for having me on it's more than just the basic kind of talk about energy transition and what's going to happen to energy prices. we have to think about carbon pricing, the carbon credits companies will receive think about research and development that companies are going to have to take on as we shift to the new greener, energy world. you have to think about things like the additional cost in terms of r&d in terms of talent, there's so many things going on. these are not just any term for 2022 or just up to 2030. these are long-term impacts that

companies have to absorb and that will have an impact on portfolio allocations and the way investors are thinking about them >> yeah. and the inflationary story as it curs a lot more broad based than we think it appears that inflation is not going anywhere i'm looking at research saying inflation is going to go higher than it is now where do you stand on inflation and when or where do you think the fed may, at some point, react to it? >> i think inflation will stay a bit higher i don't think it's really, really sustainable i think that ultimately we'll see inflation taper off and go down, as the fed said. but what's more important is what the fed thinks not what we think as investors and the fed is committed to low rates as far as we could see. i would say it really doesn't matter how high inflation goes they have the ability to ignore it i think that's what they're going to do and be so gradual we
5:52 am
won't see any change in interest rates for the foreseeable future >> it's amazing, i want to go back to you, we're looking at bond yields, the 10 year is back under 1.5% i guess it's good news if you're trying to buy a home or you want to re-fi your mortgage but i don't think there were many people in the world who would have said november of 2021, the world is reopening, the inflation is booming, and the ten year is under 1.5. what is going on >> the history books would have told you that inflation would be higher and interest rates would be higher. but what's actually happened is i think the fed realized, all central banks realized, they have the power to control interest rates they can't do it to the economy, the stock market but if they throw enough money at interest rates, in fact, they can be successful now if they're successful and we're seeing operation twist
5:53 am
fail, this has not failed. they need to throw billions and billions of dollars. so i think they're going to stick with the policy and keep rates low compared to inflation, compared to economic growth than we've seen so you can throw out the history books saying this is the new world we're in and the fed is not going to change. >> seema would you agree with the point of view? maybe low rates if not here forever are going to be with us for a long, long time? >> i agree we're going to see low rates for a long time. the amount of debt there is in the world does mean the central bank can't hike rates too aggressively having said that i don't think we can stay near zero forever. i think towards the end of next year, central banks including the fed will have no choice but to start the normalization process. we have to think central banks looking to the future, not just thinking about what's going on in 2022. they're thinking about what happens in the next recession. they need a bit of a cushion
5:54 am
so once economic fundamentals are strong enough, the labor market has got to that maximum that they're looking for, it will be in their interest to start raising interest rates so they have that cushion for the next >> what's the greatest risk out there? i'm here in london this week and we're talking about the energy risk not just to europe but the world, with what's happening in china, latin america as well food inflation is likely to surge. when you look at the risks out there, maybe it's cyber hacking, what do you think is the biggest risk right now to global growth and the markets? >> i think the biggest risk continues to be in the emerging markets. latin america and in asia, those countries tied to china, because they are all commodity based companies with way too much debt they haven't changed their economies. so they're the ones that are vulnerable to increases in other commodity prices such as fuel,
5:55 am
such as energy so i think those areas unexpectedly weakening much more than current optimistic outlooks is the biggest risk to global growth i think countries like the u.s. and developed europe are very, very strong and have the momentum so i think all the risk is there in the emerging markets once again as we see another credit crisis that has developed. >> i'm going to ask the same question to you, seema when you look out, whether it's green or clean energy, inflation, whether it's fossil fuel inflation with what happens going on, vladimir putin what do you think is the biggest risk right now in the world? >> talking about 2022. we're most worried about the supply chains nothing can move, we can't get labor participation back up until we get things moving on the covid front, get supply chains moving and inflation can start to come down that for us is going to be the biggest watch point and it's
5:56 am
watching what the companies are saying, what are they guiding us in terms of the real life challenges that they're facing if we don't start to see supply chains starting to ease up, then we rec we should expect inflation will stay elevated for longer than 2022 >> all right there's certainly a lot out there. inflation seems to be the word cloud winner of at least the last quarter if not the next year appreciate both of your insights thank you. have a fantastic day i have to get to this breaking news. if you own shares of luminar, good morning you are having a good morning. that is not a misquote lazr shares are up 64.5% right now because they just announced a deal with nvidia, to put their laser radar technology into self-driving cars. nvidia getting a bit of a pop on
