5:08 am
what is the issue with russian oil and no longer taking im imports. you see the futures across the board pointing to a negative open how should investors review this information as they wake up to the news this morning? >> there is not a lot they can do about it now. we had a sale signal in january. we are sitting at 35% cash right now with $5 billion of trade we have $1.6 billion in cash the market is in the down trend. we don't fight the trend we hear the bad news and it keeps coming and coming. it is in a bad market. the market has covid a mild case or moderate case or if we are headed to the hospital, i don't know i would be very cautious here. i would not buy anything until the buy line turns positive. the brighter side of things,
5:09 am
there are a lot of deals amd and salesforce these will drop to the point they are not a growth stock. they are a value stock this is creating opportunity there is a lot of uncertainty. >> amd is lower by 2% this morning before trade opens and nvidia as well before we bring in blake, can i ask, as we wake up to the news, i understand there is nothing we as individuals can do about it how should we be positioned when looking at stocks and sectors? the energy market is effected. what is the trickle down to consumer discretionary that is an area where you would hold off right now >> we have a position on i would nibble here. to fight the trend is pain and
5:10 am
stress and a loss of money i wouldn't do it sit on cash. build up cash. let it clear through we may not be at the end of this we may be at the beginning of the bear market. we may have 10% to 20% to go maybe ukraine is the symptom of more pain to come. i would get my buy list ready and look for the trend to change next week or next month or next two or three quarters out. i don't know when that will turn it will turn sooner or later there will be terrific opportunities. right now, show discipline and discipline right now is get the buy list and don't buy anything until the trend changes. >> blake, we heard from fed chair jay powell he telegraphed in a way in which many were surprised over what the fed was going to do at the meeting. it looks like 50 basis points is off the table to begin here for the rate hike. if we are, more or less, sure
5:11 am
that 25 basis points is the way to go, how should we be positioned knowing there is still so much uncertainty going on with russia and ukraine even if the fed chair did not seem that concerned about it? >> i think you are right it is worth pointing out we never heard anything like that from the fed chair before. the certainty we have going into the meeting is certainty i don't think we ever had into a fed meeting. you know, the shock and awe path that bullard talked about with 50 basis points, it seems the outcomes have come off the table to some degree you have to contend with the risk off that has come from the russia situation we saw that last week coming into the week as well. starting off on a weak foot. i think the rally we had in treasury started to spill over with more liquidity breakdown. we saw positions that had been short on the aggressive pat of
5:12 am
fed hikes off the table. that rebounded in the week there is a lot of volatility as markets figure out what this means. i think for the fed, you heard from powell, it seems they are not sure which way this goes on the one hand, you can think the situation is dovish. a drag on growth high energy prices cut into consumers' pocket books. on the other side, it could be hawkish. we see bigger risk to inflation and longer energy prices and commodity prices stay high the chance that starts to spill into the core sectors and the fed pays for attention i think people are trying to gather more information and figure out what the long haul is for this is going to be and the impact is going to be on the curve and various asset classes. >> so much information this morning. gentlemen, thank you for helping us we have to leave it there. we have a lot of news to get
5:13 am

5:20 am
exports hit the market again we are back down right now, but above $122 a barrel for wti crude. brent futures higher to $125 a barrel when the market opened, crude oil surged to levels not seen since 2008 surpassing $130 a level for brent and wti. natural gas prices hitting highs along with heating oil prices in europe and u.s the next guest says if these continue, many states could see gas prices rise above $5 a barrel -- $5 a gallon, i should say let's bring in john kilduff. john, thank you for joining us here today for those who did not follow the
5:21 am
developments, now back down over $130 overnight what happened? why is this going on because of the talk of potentially sanctioning or cutting off russian imports? isn't it 8% of what we import? >> first, this has been overblown, courtney. it is diminimous we get the bulk of crude oil from canada. it is only in the past year or two that the occasional russian tanker because it was priced well or what have you would pull up and discharge and go on its way. it would work out to a couple of hundred thousand barrels a day just because of the size of the blcc you know, there isn't the problem. the problem is the global one. we can't afford to lose the bulk of the production and exports
5:22 am
supplies to europe and other countries, including china, because you would think and the chinese would not go along with the sanctions, but it turns out they already are they are backing away from russian exports and look to be fearful of having their companies and banks stare down western sanctions and not do business with the west china is caught here it became a real reality over the weekend that, in fact, the western countries, which carved out russian crude oil, were doing it they have no choice given what the russians are pulling with escalating the situation it is almost horrible thought that any of us would sit here and import russian crude oil when you see what the russians are doing to the ukrainians. >> that being said, headlines suggest we may look to venezuela
5:23 am
to fill the gaps venezuela is not on top of the list with human rights what do you make of that situation? >> it's not going to be a proud moment in a lot of ways, courtney, when it comes to the crude oil supplies in the coming months we are in the process of cutting a potential deal with the iranians who will gain a huge windfall with billions of dollars held in south korea and the venezuela situation is another one. one other problem, by the way, as if there isn't enough, a major oil outage in libya which is another source of crude oil we cannot afford to lose when crude gets to the town side and negative 40 and now the 2008 highs, it is like to when a team goes on a championship run and someone at the end of the bench scores the basket out of nowhere and win the championship that's the mode we're in right
5:24 am
now. there will continue to be the jolt to the market with refinery outages or supply outages or other things that occur. this keeps feeding in. every other misstep is only going to get magnified with the backs up against the wall with supplies >> we have to talk about what this means for prices at the pump jane wells sent a photo of the gas pump in california $5.70 a gallon what is realistic? how long could these shocks last >> courtney, over the weekend, social media was filled, especially from california, with prices higher than that. $6.50 and a $7 handle. i have been in the business a while now. i was driving around northern new jersey which is known for lower gas prices i was struck by seeing shell
5:25 am
stations having $4.69 a gallon a huge jump from friday. that is the jarring pump reality everyone is going to be facing here starting today and throughout this week late last week on the exchange, we were leaping 15 cents a day at times it is a matter of time before the wholesale price worked to the pump that is what you will see this week this is a big hit to consumer sentiment and hit to the u.s. economy. this will shave a full point or two off gdp the way the price spike has gone especially if it lasts >> certainly the fears of the market john kilduff, thank you for joining us catch brian sullivan here on cnbc at the summit and he will

5:33 am
highs. this is trickling down to the pumps. now moscow agrees to open humanitarian corridors from several key cities in the fighting to allow citizens to flee reports on the ground say shelling and rocket fire continues. rush with the assault pushing closer to the capital of kyiv and the second largest city of kharkiv. and ramping up the attacks on odesa. we have molly hunter in the western part of ukraine in lviv. molly. >> reporter: courtney, we woke up with an announcement from the russian ministry of defense. they are offering a cease-fire and four humanitarian corridors from kyiv and kharkiv and
5:34 am
mariupol they are allowing corridors from belarus to russia. we have not hard anything from the parties for a couple of hours. we heard from the ukrainian side the prime minister held a briefing in kyiv she said this is unacceptable. our people will not go to belarus or russia. now with the humanitarian corridors heading to the west to lviv where i am. we are chasing the icrc for any confirmation they have been brokers between the parties. both cease-fires over the weekend in mariupol were shut down with shelling continues. >> ukraine is not interested in sending citizens to belarus or
5:35 am
russia will russia honor anything about the humanitarian corridors in other areas? >> reporter: ukraine not interested in what amounts to a state kidnapping to send people into enemy territory they have sent back proposals which layout routes which go west to the safety of the western part of the country. we will look to russia's recent military past when you look at certify syria and the cease-fires they agreed to. it was an opportunity for the russian forces to regroup and rearm and plan the next offenses s offenses they broke both cease-fires in syria. there are a lot of civilians in mariupol which need to get to safety >> molly, you are in lviv. it seems like most of the offensive is focused on the
5:36 am
southern and central part of the country. what is it like where you are? >> reporter: absolutely. they are surrounding kyiv. we talked about that convoy around the capital city. they are trying to consolidate russian forces and black sea cities the next stop and volodymyr zelenskyy has been warning about this with o ddesa this is the destination for anyone fleeing in the east it is the bouncing off point for poland and anyone getting out of the country. the fear for everyone, it is crowded. a lot of residents and refugees walking with suitcases and idps. there are people who we have talked to who want to stay and fight. they want to wait it out they believe in their country. i think as cease-fires continue to fall apart as the bombardments continue and they watchvi villages flattened by
5:37 am
russian forces, that decision to stay or not to stay becomes much harder for a lot of the mothers and families courtney. >> molly hunter, stay safe thank you for joining us back on wall street. investors bracing for more pain with stock futures across the board which are lower. it is getting worse. dow jones industrial average indicated to open lower by 500 points nasdaq lower by 225 points tech is coming off a hard week with nasdaq falling 2.8% last week sitting 18% below all-time high. hovering just above bear market territory which would be 20% off the most recent high netflix and meta and tesla and amazon down big from the most recent highs joining me now is wedbush securities is joel we have talked about tech
5:38 am
valuations which are strong. we ran through a bunch of data points and how we have been selling off. is now a good entry point or too dangerous to catching falling knives here? >> good morning, courtney. there is nothing about the tape that says you have to jump in this morning maybe we get bottom at some point as the day progresses. waking up with headlines and inflation pressure ratcheting higher with crude doing what it is doing i mean, tech growth and momentum sentiment has been terrible since late november and december when powell and the fed shifted the messages on the policy moving forward you can go back and look at theg covid. no risk appetite and no bid for vast pockets of technology the reality is that kind of
5:39 am
unwinding of covid has been growth slowing and days of expansion have come to a halt. we have just really been seeing compr com compression. talking to my clients and there is pain on a daily basis there is more focus in 2022 of guys managing positions versus looking for new ideas. it feels buyers are higher for stocks that will strategy if you are patient up to this point then it has been paying off. i don't think there is a rush to jump in head first unless there is value toward it or moving forward. >> if you have cash to put to work and you want to jump in and take risks, there are names you recommend? >> within tech, i know dan ives is on the program. cybersecurity is a focus at wedbush. the group was experiencing
5:40 am
massive growth before the russia/ukraine situation er erupted. palo alto. a leader in next gen security. sales point. cyber security a place you want exposure you will see cios spending there. large cap value. cisco. moving from the hybrid work environment. they have record backlog i think you want to keep it simple avoid the names farther out in the risk curve spacs or cathie wood stocks. >> not a place where you would play although so many people follow her every move closely? >> that's what is scary about it i don't think i would buy ark with your money. the last 52 weeks says it all. trailed the nasdaq by 51% coming in this morning. that is astounding
5:41 am
the nasdaq is up 3% over the last year. she is down 40%. i think with the last 12 months has cold utold us about cathie there is zero risk management policy in place. you can look at the holdings these stocks have been reversin and suffering from all of the negative impact of tech coming out of covid she bought docusign and peeled out of that quickly. that stock down 40%. she bought twitter on the most recent blowup. it has been peeling out of that. the strategy of averaging down never works. she is the poster child for that she has been going on people are shorting innovation. i don't think the companies are that innovative. they benefitted from covid huge increases in demand and multiple surge in hire
5:42 am

5:47 am
are you having hiring or showing up or wages? >> a little bit of both. it is the wild time right now from the front of the house to the back of the house with staffing levels. pre-pandemic, we put an ad out maybe 10 people would apply and 5 would show up for a job. today, maybe 3 will apply for the job and maybe 1 will show up if we're lucky >> in order to attract staff, are you raising wages? >> absolutely. we have to be competitive. starting income for a first-time worker used to be $12 or $13 now we're looking at $15 and $16. that is pushing everybody else up to $22 a range. >> if you are a server, you are still working on tips? >> yes, ma'am. mostly in the back of the house and support staff. >> let's talk about the input prices i can imagine the price of food is going up.
5:48 am
maybe also other prices and surcharges you are seeing on bills from vendors bringing food and supplies in. they are paying more for gasses prices what are your input costs looking like before you consider the prices that go out on the menu >> costs of goods are up almost 10% and climbing. i'm watching the segment before. we are watching corn and wheat i'm in the steak business. every item we sell is filet mignon i want guests to feel comfortable. we are watching those costs closely. labor is rising. the cost of doing business is tough. the demand is there. we have to staff our restaurants and put people back to work. that will help ease the burden >> what are you doing for prices if your costs are up 10%
5:49 am
are you raising prices >> we did. we raised 8% last year two price increases. typically one a year two last year. probably closer to doing another one right now. i'm old school restauranteur it is hard to ask for $5050 fora piece of salmon. we may have to adjust. >> you are selling steak and higher price menu items. perhaps your clients are not as sensitive to the price of gas. it is costing more to heat homes, those of us who live in colder areas and if we have to drive to work. is that hurting your demand? >> we are a big drive market in the southeast. people from charlotte and atlanta and northeast as well coming down. i'm scared about that. it makes me nervous. will they be comfortable getting on the roads in the next few weeks to come south.
5:50 am
i think they are people are out there they want to get out they want to take their masks off and get back to normalcy we have to staff the restaurants and control costs and hope for the best >> we wish you the best. tommy hall, thank you for joining us and laying out the picture of what you are seeing in the restaurants. on deck, stocks facing pressure as oil takes off on word of a potential western crude ban by the west. katie stockton is here to make sense of the trading day ahead and the moves you need to make if you haven't already, follow our podcast it is on all major podcast platforms. catch brian sullivan throughout the day here today on cnbc the 40th annual summit week. he will chat with the heads of energy and more. we'll be right back.
