it is not dot-com or the financial crisis it is not there. behavior supports that >> let's bring in phil palumbo this morning >> thank you, frank. >> he is the voice of the market he is not seeing panic do you agree >> first, i don't believe the estimate of the price-to-earnings ratio. the estimates are off the peak 3% to 5% during any recession period, you see an average correction about 30%. in 2008, we saw 90% there is a wide range. however, when you think about what the fed is embarking on and wage increases and consumer demand slowing, you will see a
5:08 am
profit recession which means if you take estimates down by 20% and this is important. the forward multiple today is 19 times. that means the market has to get cheaper. that's why analysts are saying 3,000. that is an appropriate level i don't agree. >> you heard 3,000 i heard 3,3500 as the lowest one thing i want to touch on is it is not 1981 or the dot-com bubble what you see is similar to march of 2020 and the start of the pan pandemic should people still diversify portfolios is 60/40 the way to go how do you recommend clients >> this is the most challenging environment. balance and asset class all came up together. what i've been vocal on the show

5:11 am
markets? >> it is not transitory. it was going to be out of control. i think inflation is going to be over we will see inflation come down. peak inflation is already in the commodity pricing. the wealth effect evaporate. we look at bonds and technology and stocks the inflation story is going to start to dissipate just like covid. over the next 12 months. that's my expectation. >> phil palumbo, thank you for being here. when we come back, europe leaders coming together on the energy crisis. we are live in brussels with the steps they may take with rising costs. and british prime minister liz truss holding emergency talks amid continued worries with financial markets we talk to one former bank of england member about the growing concerns of policy in the uk. and the latest on hurricane

5:34 am
>> it seems like elon musk finds a way to keep himself in the news bertha, thank you. uk prime minister liz truss is expected to hold an emergency meeting with the head of the monetary watch dog today after failing to calm the panic over the future of the country's economy. earlier this week, the bank of england announced plans to start suspending the gilt and start buying long bonds in an effort to calm the turmoil amid the budget let's talk about this for the future of uk and global economy with martin weale. a former member of the bank of england monetary policy. good morning, martin >> hello >> first, over in england, they are raising rates now and buying long bonds now is the uk behind the curve >> i don't think the uk is behind the curve i think what happened was the chaos generated in bond markets
5:35 am
in particular as a result of the budget last week and the mini budget last week and that meant that pension funds were facing liquidity problems and the bank of england had to make emergency measures for liquidity that goes against what it planned before the mini budget which was to, like the federal reserve board, to open quantitative tightening. >> we have breaking news this morning. eurozone inflation of 10% in september. how do you see that impacting the bank of england? >> the bank of england is mainly concerned about inflation in britain rather than inflation in the euro area. the european central bank will be extremely concerned by 10% inflation. like the bank of england saying
5:36 am
it will bring inflation down and returning it to the target of 2% >> you mentioned the uk is focused on the uk and not concerned about the eurozone is the opposite true is the eurozone concerned about the uk and reversal of plans >> i think what worries other countries about what is going on in the uk is that at least immediately after the budget, there was some evidence that the concerns about the uk with the depressing bond market not only in the uk, but elsewhere there is spillover possibly that is a bit calmer now as the chart is showing interest rates in france and germany lower than those in the uk italy is still a bit higher. of course, for the uk to keep company with italy is not
5:37 am
diverse for the uk management. >> speaking of the uk management liz truss is not planning to reverse the tax cuts what is the path forward for the uk to deal with the energy crisis and stabilize the economy? >> the big problem liz truss faces is there are three ways in which the budget could be put on a convincing basis in other words, persuading people the national debt relative to gdp is going to fall rather than rise one is to reverse the budget measures the second is to make cuts in public spending. the third is for the economy to grow at 2.5% per year. the trouble with the last solution is that while they may believe their policies will deliver growth of 2.5% a year, i don't think anyone else will in particular, i would be
5:38 am
extremely surprised to say the least if the office for budget responsibility, the fiscal watch dog, was prepared to use a growth rate of 2.5% a year that leaves us either unwinding the fiscal measures that were announced last friday which, of course, is extremely difficult for politicians who want to sound determined and try new approach or it leaves the government imposing substantial spending cuts and you can be confident that will not be popular with voters and it is not going to be popular with voters at a time when the labor party has a lead in the opinion polls. we have seen a slightly calmer situation recently my view is labor's need is one of the factors calming the situation. people can see there are going to be political constraints on what the prime minister and
5:39 am
chancellor actually do >> you mentioned the political aspect of all this and politicians want to stay resolute as a former bank of england member, what is the ability to fix this chaos and the human energ energy chriss? >> as i said, it is not the energy crisis which is seen as the problem by market. it was the government was making permanent or presented permanent tax cuts with no sense of how the budget consequences were going to be addressed. as i was explaining, that's two solutions. one is to cut spending which will go down like a lead balloon by voters. i think we will see a combination of the two there have been cuts in
5:40 am
government spending over the last ten years and liz truss wants to increase for very good reasons spending on defense over the next few years so we're in a better position to deal with the threat of security that russia puts us in >> looking for compromise coming forward. martin weale, we appreciate your insight. thank you. >> thank you coming up on "worldwide exchange." the big money mover and shares of nike diving on the back of the quarterly results. stacey widlitz is here to talk about the sector as a whole. and disney has named alisa bowen president of disney plus disney plus with ads launches on december 8th in the u.s. for $8 a month. nasa and spacex is looking

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." nike shares plunging in the pre-market down 9% after the company expressed issues with overstock. the retail giant beat estimate, but noted supply chain has led to overinventory the company quote faces a new degree of complexity for more on nike and the state of retail, let's bring in stacey widlitz. good morning, stacey
5:45 am
>> good morning, frank >> you said earnings and revenue are great. the real number to pay attention to is the inventory number plus 65%. 65% higher in north america. what does it mean for mnike goig forward? >> they said september trebnds were better. stock is down 10%. the number we care about is inventory. inventory up 65% in north america. that is 50% higher growth and inventory than sales that means we're going into another period of severe markdowns. they were very clear of the quarter we're in is going to be hit hard by markdowns. there is a lot of product that came in late last quarter and product that came in early for holiday as many brands didn't know about the timing with the supply chain issues. now they have to get rid of the stuff. it is focused in apparel rather
5:46 am
than footwear. >> you hit on retailers. according to the long beach port, 70% of the items were brought in during september for the holidays that creates issues for nike and broader retail what does that mean for the holiday season will we see bigger deals than the last couple years? >> absolutely, frank we are back to 2019 basically in terms of promotions. as you said, everybody with the supply chain delays decided to get ready early for holiday at a time when demand fell off a cliff and inflation spiked more. now the consumer is pulling back that's clear now we have this overinventory situation which is the opposite of last year you are seeing it in apparel and home you see it across the board. you know, certainly amazon has
5:47 am
added a second prime day this year to help demand and get it moving and sell advertising dollars. you will see everybody rally around that event and push promotions earlier this year and harder as everybody is worried about having the glut of inventory. >> you took the words out of my mouth, stacey. amazon having a fall prime day walmart and target with earlier deals than normal. before they would have before the pandemic is that the cure for all this? are consumers with inflation, are we all eager to buy early or is this going to maybe falter a bit and are they stuck with the inventory? >> i think what will drive the consumer out early is the bigger better deals we had events in the years where things were full price in the last few years where we didn't have enough inventory. consumers came out and not
5:48 am
enough of a deal for me. if we get those big percentage off in october and early, people will shop early and rally around that for retailers and brands, margins will look ugly into holiday it this year if you slash prices at the beginning, where do you go from there? >> a lot of questions. a lot of us are looking for deals. if you hold retail stock, you are worried. >> no deal there >> stacey widlitz, great to have you on. on deck on "worldwide exchange." stocks are looking to have a september to forget. if you haven't already, follow our podcast if you missed "worldwide exchange" check us out on apple or other podcast apps.

5:52 am
where is your support level from the s&p? a lot of people believe we will see more down side >> thanks, frank it has been a brutal month in the markets. i think in the short-term that we will see further down side. we are looking at 3500 the market breaks through that and the next level is 3200 >> what you are describing is giving up all the stimulus related gains we saw during the pandemic what does that mean? is that a situation where you advise your clients to buy i dip or wait and see? >> it is a great question. if you look at the 10-year treasury, we are at 3.7% we saw 4% this week. i think it is reasonable to assume we will see 4% again. if you look at the last time the 10-year treasury was at 4%, that was 2010 as you mentioned, at that point in time, the market was trading at a 16 times multiple
5:53 am
if you look at the lowest c consensus on the s&p for next year at $200 a share apply that 16 times multiple and that's where the 3200. 3500 is 5% down from where we are today. 3200 is 13% down from today. we are telling clients it is important to be patient and conf confident. look for value in asset classes and styles of investment hang in there. it will get worse before it gets better we are still in the secular bull market secular bull markets last 15 to 20 years this started in 2013 i think it is important to take that long-term approach. i think there is further down side from here >> of course we want to take a long-term approach with money. in the near term, people are seeing pain. are there companies where investors can find opportunity today? >> i think if you look at energy, i still believe energy
5:54 am
is the cheapest sector in the s&p 500. although it is up 40% year to date we are down 22% since june we like the integrated look at chevron. dividend yield of 4% they are growing at 6% a year. s they have a super strong balance sheet out of covid they have a refinery business which will expect to continue given the imbalance with energy. i think that is a good company to look at again, you have to be super selective and you have to be def defe defensive. >> you have to be selective. i have been asking people this question we are looking at companies to ride out the situation and selloff. you mentioned dividend investing. other people are looking at free cash flow or margins what is the focus with the quote/unquote quality of the company that makes it
5:55 am
investable >> great question. what is quality? to us, we are focused on strong cash flow and free cash flow looking at the balance sheets of companies. just much like we did in 2020. if you are in a period of prolonged economic slowdown, you look at the debt load of the company and free cash flow and if they can sustain a period p of prolonged economic slowdown. >> one last question before we let you go, lizzie during the pandemic, a lot of retail investors jumped into the market they are probably facing losing the gains made during the pandemic what advice would you give them? >> there is nothing fun about a bear market. bear market is like riding a bull the ride is not fun. you need to be patient and you need to be smart and confident now is the time for those investors that did jump in
5:56 am
during 2020 to see if there is an opportunity to rebalance the portfolio and take opportunities. we are looking at a lot of roth i.r.a. conversions there are strategic moves. they need the long-term approach and know why you own. >> i remember this time last year we were talking about booms in the market. lizzie, thank you. >> thank you, frank. one last check of the markets. the futures off their highs of the morning. the dow looks like it could open 100 or 150 points higher nasdaq and s&p .50% higher that is it for "worldwide exchange."
