5:03 am
we may see an opening of that economy. that is boosting the markets out and particularly the chipmakers with positivity there. we are expecting the market to continue to move higher. some green is in the mix the european markets mostly higher this does follow from the bank of england decision yesterday with hiking interest rates 75 basis points you could see a recession according to the bank of england governor andrew bailey things are tight including the labor market which is tight and growth is still expected to drop off .75% this year alone with the longest recession for five quarters. you have the energy crisis the ftse 100 is higher up more than 1% today.
5:04 am
of course, it has been a busy week for central banks and it follows through the market picture from the fed plus we have the october jobs report expected later today. 205,000 jobs expected in the month of october unemployment 3.5% in the u.s >> arabile, thank you. a lot of anticipation. we appreciate that let's get a check of the top stories with pippa stevens >> good morning, frank elon musk kicking off the anticipated series of layoffs after the deal for the social media platform in an email obtained by nbc news, twitter employees were informed the job cuts would start today. the note told staff they would get emails bloomberg is reporting that twitter is facing a lawsuit over
5:05 am

5:06 am
expectations amid the restructuring costs and tougher advertising environment. >> i'm waiting for the next season of "succession. pippa, see you later on. back to the markets. stocks come off a fourth negligative session. you can see the chart here the dow down 2.5%. s&p down over 4.5% the nasdaq down 7% investors turning attention to the october jobs report and potential clues on the fed thinking on the rate hike strategy economists expect 205,000 jobs and unemployment holding steady at 3.5%. let's bring in robert teeter, head of investment policy at silver crest management. robert, great to have you here. >> good to be here >> i think everybody who sits in the position like yourself, jay powell, is this changing how you
5:07 am
change your portfolio? >> it is starting to make a change in the short-term outlook. the level of rates are starting to hit a danger zone you get the 10-year treasury over 4%, that puts pressure on the valuations when you get the periods where fed funds and 10-year treasury converge, that puts pressure on valuations in the short-term, we face a bit of a choppy market the potential good news is two cpi reports between now and the next fed meeting that appears to be what is needed for the fed to make a change in the communication of policy clear and substantial evidence of improvement in inflation. >> general wisdom here is the two inflation reports have an impact on the fed decision futures are higher this morning. we expect unemployment to stay the same and pretty good job gains. what is making the futures higher ahead of report which would be bad for anybody to see
5:08 am
a pause or pivot >> it has been confusing with conflicting messages one of the pieces of good news is good news on the job market in my opinion is that it buys the fed a bit more time to solve inflation before recession conditions emerge. you are seeing weakness in some parts of the economy overall, the economy continues to grow although at a slow rate. as you noted, the jobs market is very strong. that buys time for the inflation numbers to improve they are not helping the inflation conditions, it is buying time for the rate hikes to work their way through and for conditions to ease normally given some of the reasons behind inflation had perhaps been caused by the problems in the pandemic we think it is good news there is a strong jobs market for the fed to solve inflation. >> you think a strong job market buys time? the job market remains strong and that keeps the fed on course it wants to get inflation down to 2%.
5:09 am
last read was the 8% doesn't a strong jobs report make it more likely we see 75 basis point hike in december as opposed to 50? >> it does that is what the fed chair has been communicating in terms of what they are reacting to and they would like to see a softer economy. they probably would not say it this way, but softer job market as well. you are absolutely right in terms of that take and interpretation i think that's correct what i'm referencing is each and every cpi report is a chance for numbers to come down a bit some of the things below the surface in cpi have been im impr improving. two of the three reports were dese decent and one not so great. we will get through the progress on cpi and job market stable that is probably the way to thread the needle. >> it says a lot you are trying to get through the next two
5:10 am

5:23 am
consumers. particularly those making less than 50 thund$50,000 a year frank, a lot of questions if that will hold >> pippa, part the price hikes is the elevated commodity and price hikes. >> commodity and labor have been a headwind for restaurants we saw those start to ease on a year over year basis the narrative in q3 has shifted a bit. executives are warning the environment remains uncertain. particularly with commodities like beef prices those have come down, but there are signs those will be heading higher it seems executives are reluctant to give comments one area that is impacting restaurants is utility costs we heard this from cheesecake factory and mcdonald's and others with elevated energy costs are eating into margins.

5:33 am
joining me this morning is sarah house. >> good morning, frank >> job growth and unemployment to stay at 3.5%. the usissue is wage growth what do you expect when it comes to wage growth >> we are looking for another gain of 0.3% in terms of average hourly earnings. that pushes the year over year rate down. you are looking at an annual rate of 3.6% that is starting to look for comfortable for the fed. still noticeably above what we saw in the last cycle and as we heard chair powell say he is not necessarily convinced we have seen a material slowdown especially with the overall tight status of the job market we still have. >> you mentioned the job market is tight the last estimate is 10 million openings right now
5:34 am
are we expecting to see the 10 million openings to stay the same we hear of layoffs twitter is one example that may be a case that is an out liar of the economy. other companies said they are slowing hiring and selective about hiring >> overall, we are still looking at a strong labor market in the absolute sense if you are thinking about the direction. it is clearly weaker you mentioned specific companies. we see this in the broader data. the small business hiring plans at the lowest levels since early 2021 you have job openings coming down from where they were in the spring and the employment sub components have weakened since earlier this year. i think the demand is weakening. we still haven't seen the increase in layoffs. i think that does suggest that the labor market is by no means
5:35 am
falling apart. we see growing trepidation on the part of businesses to hire new workers. expand the employment base and back fill positions. that points to a moderate trend in hiring since those new hires are half the equation as you see the layoffs hold steady. >> sarah, we see the futures tick higher. the general consensus was a good jobs report to potentially be bad for bpeople who want a paus or pivot the numbers we were just talking about and wage growth as well. what do you expect to see with the markets and general economy if this is a strong jobs report? how does everybody react to that >> i think it depends on the composition. if you are thinking about this from fear of the fed going another 75 in december or possibly sending the terminal
5:36 am
rate higher, you want to see moderation in wage growth. still strong job numbers showing that the supply side of the picture is getting better. that is the way out of the high inflation pressure we are seeing from the labor market. seeing that wage pressure tamped down because businesses have more selection in who they hire, but seeing workers add thed to payroll. >> are youyou are looking ahead jolts report what do you see? >> the trend is lower. this is this is a volatile measure year over year and month to month we see in the broad range the demand for new hires weakens we see this in job postings as well that is all consistent with moderation in job growth ahead.

5:41 am
the u.s. continue to weigh on international sales. the cfo will be on "squawk box" in the first on cnbc interview at 8:50 a.m. let's talk more about starbucks with sara senatore >> thanks for having me. >> let's start where we ended. you see the cfo on "squawk box" later today. what is your rating for starbucks? >> we have a buy onstar starbucs we think they have a lot of opportunities going forward. specifically within the u.s., you see the store sales is the best measure of health and demand one of the best numbers we have seen this quarter. 11% in the u.s they are just getting started with the opportunities whether it is on the demand side or customization and hold and loyalty initiatives or
5:42 am
production side where they are rolling out to help speed up the process of making some of these drinks and become more complex because customers have taken to the idea of customizing and making a drink their own. >> i actually think it is more expensive. they want to put this in there and that would be higher margin for starbucks. the real question is is starbucks inflation proof going forward as we see inflation and consumers wallets tightening >> i think a couple of things. in terms of starbucks and price and how much higher prices are this year versus last, they are actually relatively modest things are relative. we see 8% inflation in the restaurant cpi index the fact that starbucks price
5:43 am
increase is in the 5% to 6% range means it is a price lag to some extent. the other thing that we observed is customers are expressing real price resistance to starbucks. we have seen evidence of check management among other concepts. starbucks has continued to see adoption of customization and to your point, these do cost more to do, but they really make the drink very special and very specific to the customer that, you know, really means that customer cannot get the beverage any place else. we have not seen customers really back away from ordering not only same stores some of the best in the industry, but positive transaction growth which other restaurants are seeing right now and their transactions have nearly fully
5:44 am
recovered. transactions per store per day pre-covid levels despite not all of the our behaviors, with work from home is a testament. >> not fully, sarah. you mentioned a lot of companies are not seeing the ability for sales to increase right now. one exception is mcdonald's. double digit increase with orders i guess sales per customer i'm trying to think of the right ter term you know what i'm saying people are willing to pay for middle class luxury. a starbucks coffee or taking your kids to mcdonald's opposed to other high-end sit down restaurants? >> to your point, mcdonald's has double digit increase with same-store sales those are more outside the u.s mcdonald's in the u.s. with 6%
5:45 am
very respectable they do have about 10% price increase based on the menu as we talk about no business is immune to inflation and having to pass that on to customers i think to your point, what we are still seeing in the u.s. is the desire to enjoy going out to eat. this idea of spending more on services and less on goods and idea of reclaiming the occasions from what we saw during lockdown mcdonald's has seen a bit more check management than starbucks. there are some companies out there for whom especially lower income consumers are doing what they can to maybe still enjoy occasions, but lower cost than before because they are under pressure from inflationary pressure on some of the necessities like gas.

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." the day ahead for wall street. the monthly jobs report before the tuesday mid-term elections and earnings are on tap. hershey and draft kings are reporting. and susan deccollins is set to speak today. and richard fed president is speaking to "squawk on the street" this morning then ron baron is speaking at 6:00 a.m ahead of the jobs report let's get a check of futures right now. solidly in the green the dow could open 50 points higher s&p and nasdaq higher. with the rates up, nasdaq up higher than the s&p. we have to watch that let's bring in simeon hyman at pro shares advisers
5:52 am
you are here in person talk about the in-person format. >> great to be here. >> the first question i have to ask after jay powell saying the ultimate level of rates will be higher than expected has that changed >> he didn't have a choice break even on the 2-year treasury came down they went up to 3 in october no choice there. i think the key is to look for companies that are growing margins. if you look at the s&p 500 in q3 earnings, the rally in october had a foundation of not disastrous results a 3% bottom line increase year over year. that was 11% top line. margins shrinking. to counter that, the s&p 500 dividend, growing dividends for 25 years at a minimum. they grew the top line 17% 26% bottom line. if you can figure out a way to
5:53 am
expand margins in the face of inflation, that's the safe haven. >> that's the key anytime. expand margins something i want to ask when you look at portfolio management right now, we see the 2-year treasury at high we have not seen since july of 2007. you are getting that return on a bond, does that change the way you balance? >> if you look at the yield curve, everybody is talking about the inversion. the inversion is less about a real bearish long-term view and the view the fed won't stay high that long. back to the break even inflation numbers. if 3% inflation persisted, you could see the 10-year treasury around 5%. the 4 and change we see right now is more reflection of the fed not hanging out at 5% fed fund rate. >> wow 10-year treasury at 5% yield what would that do if we see rates get that high on the
5:54 am
10-year treasury >> five is not that high historically >> but we're used to low rates. >> we have to get used to the new normal the long-term average for the 10-year treasury is 2 year real and 2 year inflation that is what youquantitative ea. that is the sign with the relatively shallow recession >> you are one of the people on the soap box of corporate credit a lot of people looking at the return of corporate credit opposed to the volatility of the equities are you focusing more on the corporate credit >> there is a miss conconceptio the market people assume there is leverage in the system. if you look at the s&p 500, the most common measure of leverage is less than one that is very low leverage.
5:55 am
