5:05 am
remainder of the week. dom. >> arabile gumede in london with the latest thank you very much. let's get to the top corporate stories with silvana henao. >> dom, good morning carl icahn is betting against meme stocks. icahn began banning gamestop when it was $143 a share he has been adding to the position saying the stock could fall more and not trading on fundamentals. elon musk is planning to delay the relaunch of the $8 per month blue mark service. the platform will probably use different color check marks for organizations than individuals this after twitter blue was launched and pulled after it created imposter accounts
5:06 am
leaving it ripe for misinformation musk planned the relaunch for november 29th. and cleveland fed president loretta mester says the economy needs to show more signs of progress before decreasing interest rates >> we're at a reasonable point now to then sort of now be deliberate and setting monetary policy to get back to price stability and judicious and balance the risk to minimize the pain back to stability that is the next phase of policy i don't think we're near stopping in terms of phrasing the question of slowing and eventually pausing we still have more work to do. >> dom, the fed's final policy meeting of the year kicks off december 13th. we'll all be watching. >> silvana henao, thanks.
5:07 am
ahead of opening bell. perspective on the trading week confidence of the team at bespoke investment group in years like 2022 where the s&p is down 10% and then monday's session tends to be lower and tuesday mixed and performance on wednesday and friday, black friday, tend to see the stronger returns as you see there wednesday's session gaining more than 1% with gains of .50% for the friday session for more, let's bring in malcolm ethridge and mark avallone gentlemen, thank you both for being here mark, maybe we'll start with you. you heard the mester comments on "closing bell" yesterday we're nowhere near done with the rate hike campaign you are hearing a lot more these days about journey versus
5:08 am
destination. in other words, the number or types of rate hikes we have versus the ending rate for fed funds rate will be which are you paying attention to more? >> good morning. i watched that interview she was clear to say the fed has entered into a restrictive zone. i was reassured to hear that because at least it tells us they are monitoring how the impact of all these rate hikes is affecting the economy i think she even did say that we're down to a .5 level and that .75 was quite aggressive. you could hear that the downward slide in rate hikes is here. i think that's because they're seeing the slowdown in the economic data, housing and rental prices and commodity prices are all starting to slow down i'm looking for a more benign fed in 2023. i think that could eventually become positive for stocks.
5:09 am
>> malcolm, it is a good point the idea you could have certain fed policymakers in essence throttling back on the commentary they are still hawkish, but not as so. is it a reason to be more constructive in stocks that this idea we know the fed will continue to hike interest rates, but not at the 75 basis clip the entire way >> one, i think it is great to hear fed governors coming out and, you know, remaining hawkish, but giving a bit of hope we also know there is really one fed official whose statements matter here. dom, to answer your question more directly here, the reality is most investors have already tempered expectations that 75 basis points in december is very unlikely we will probably see 50 basis points consensus has rallied around that the majority of any activity we
5:10 am
see in the market related to fed policy specifically from here on out is based on whether we think there is a pivot coming or cut coming on or about some positive movement in rates in 2023 because nobody wants to be behind the curve or late to the pivot party is the phrase i heard recently most of the activity is baking in that 75 pbasis points is gone and see where powell goes for 2023 >> malcolm, does that mean you are looking at communication stocks again we talked about this over last several days disney is the latest the under performance in media and technology are those the places you want to be if you don't want to be late to the pivot party >> dom, i never abandoned my tech trade i think any market movement we have in the near term, in the next 6 to 12 months, is driven
5:11 am
by mega cap tech eventually we rotate away from the trade, but i also think it is very tough to get away from those 8 or 10 names that led the initial correction i think those names also have to lead us out of it. we can have a recovery toward the end of the year or early next year more likely without those names participating. it will be a much bigger recovery with the names participating. i think it is very tough to leave them behind just yet rotation of people are looking for is more of an 2023 and 2024story. >> mark, it is not just equities part of the conversation right now. we have gone for years talking about the tina trade there is no alternative. you were making nothing in yield on the bond market you are making 4.5% on short duration two-year treasury notes. that's what the yield is
5:12 am
better for investment great corporate debt are bonds now a more attractive start of the story does the 60/40 portfolio come back into the lexicon here in financial markets? >> that's a great question since many investors fall into the moderate or moderate risk growth profile, a 60/40 allocation makes sense for them. to look back and say 60/40 portfolio is dead because it had a bad year that's the wrong way to look at it you have to look forward now that interest rates are higher, bonds could provide that buffer against when a stock market decline happens you are getting 4.5% on treasury 5% on investment grade corporate. that is while right now below the inflation level. it is well above the target that
5:13 am
the fed has settled on i think for moderate risk investors to abandon the bond trade because it had a bad year this year is looking in the rear-view mirror they should look forward to see more opportunity in the balanced portfolio. >> gentlemen, we have a few moments left mark, in a couple of sentences here your favorite sector and stock >> i'm looking where interest rates are. we spent the day how interest rates are higher the insurance stekector. those asset values have been beaten down. real estate has been beaten down they improved. they are internal product lines and lower risk offering and lower costs. we like financials and insurance. >> malcolm, the last word to you? >> i would drill all the way down to the mega cap tech trade i mentioned and focus on cloud
5:14 am
coo computing. companies with decent financials and have potential of positive returns when the market is depressed to deliver their product costs very little. the migration to cloud computing will not stop soon in a recession or not >> malcolm ethridge and mark avallone thank you, gentlemen when we come back on the show, beijing tightening as covid grips across the country. and the dominos keep falling with ftx and stacey widlitz says retailers ll hwiave to get creative to get shoppers back this black friday. more after this commercial break. you are watching "worldwide

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." another rough session in asia as china deals with another covid infection wave we're talking metuan and jd.com down 4% or more. eunice yoon is joining us from beijing with the covid infection wave eunice >> reporter: dom, beijing is a near ghost town after two new deaths and covid cases hit fresh
5:18 am
highs. the city authorities have said that they are now closing more parks, malls and urging residents to stay home they also are requiring a negative 48-hour covid test as of thursday for more public places now, beijing is one of many cities around the country seeing fresh covid cases hitting fresh highs. the total count for the country as of this morning was 29,000. obviously from the zero goal perspective, that is a large number given the size of the population at the same time, it is alarming a lot of authorities in what they describe as a grim situation. beijing is now conducting mass testing. guangzhou is imposing tighter lockdowns. out in the west, they will have
5:19 am
stricter stay-at-home measures there was research out today localities account for 20% of the china gdp. those localities are under some form of lockdowns or curbs it is not so far away from the situation we saw back in april when shanghai was in lockdown. obviously a serious situation. some encouraging news, though, coming from china's iphone city, their covid cases are dropping and the local media have reported that foxconn is close to the goal of staffing. the government there as well as
5:20 am
the province authorities are trying to ramp up that production facility. >> eunice, we have spoken a lot or speculated about the idea that covid zero may exist in some form, but in a targeted approach by the government they would be a little bit more surgical and not shut everything down these manufacturing hubs are key for china's economy. if you are telling us 20%, one fifth of the chinese economy, under restriction, it has an effect on gdp. is there any progress you are hearing about it will no longer be a wide shutdown or perhaps more targeted to localities or businesses or industries or companies? >> reporter: that's certainly the messaging from the top the leadership is trying to, at
5:21 am
least seemingly so, get the local authorities to become more targeted and specific as you say. the challenge is trying to translate that on the ground from a local perspective, local authorities think they are being more targeted. they are looking at a small area sometimes just a neighborhood. so trying to translate that on the ground is a huge challenge for beijing. in addition to that, you mentioned zero covid this whole week, the state media has been trying to explain the new reopening rules. in those explanations, they continue to say zero covid is a magic weapon until you or as long as we have zero covid being the standard, it makes it so much more difficult to think that the local authorities won't prioritize keeping the case load near zero and they will continue to use all of the lockdowns and
5:22 am
quarantines as the primary method to reach that goal. with that, it makes it difficult to see how economic activity could return to normal. >> confusion still a big part of the story. eunice yoon, thank you. the fallout continues in the wake of the ftx collapse now another firm is reportedly weighing a possible bankruptcy as investor capital dries up

5:34 am
it is getting better all of the companies reported are making progress. we are not there yet that said, expectations are low here we know promotions started super early this year. they do every year earlier this year. the consumer has been clear. they are responding to markdowns and promotions every retailer has said that they also said that business slowed in the second half of october. urban outfitters added to that last night all three brands slowed down into november. >> stacey, can we start with the bigger part of the market and work our way down to the individual parts we heard a mixed story are from the big box side of things retail or home improvement can you take us through the take away from the walmart and target and home depot and lowe's and
5:35 am

5:38 am
asking for a lot of the requests have to do with keeping day-to-day operations afloat. they want permission to pay outside vendors and plsuppliers. ftx is looking to consolidate bank accounts to pay employees ftx said staff is owed $1 million for work completed prior to filing for bankruptcy we are likely going to get a play-by-play of what went wrong and what new management is doing to safeguard assets. including the customer funds. >> kenzie, one of the biggest questions still is whether ftx creditors, the people it owes money to, get their money back if so, when can they expect that money back same for the retail customers who kept cryptocurrency assets on the platform. are we going to get any answer on those fronts when the money
5:39 am
will be there? >> reporter: we did get some answers over the weekend we don't have a full list of creditors. we got some clarity through initial filings. ftx owes the top 50 creditors $3.1 billion ftx could have more than 1 million creditors. in terms of how much money ftx has on hand to pay back customers and creditors, one filing shows the exchange have a combined cash balance of over $1.2 billion a lot of that cash is tied up. ftx has said it could need until january to outline total assets and liabilities. part of the problems is the inadequate bookkeeping kept by sam bankman-fried. look to see if there is updated
5:40 am
guidance with respect to the restoring the customer and creditor funds >> every day, a new headline about what another crypto firm may be feeling and we could see some knock-on effects or ripple effects from the ftx implosion still going on we heard another name in the headlines this morning what is the latest on this contagion effect >> look at the bitcoin price chart. a two-year low trading at $15,600 early this morning. in terms of the internal contagion across ftx, bloomberg is reporting that prosecutors opened a probe on ftx months before the collapse lookingat the u.s. and offshore operations with a focus on compliance with the bank secrecy act a lot of questions about digital currency group which owns genesis and grayscale.

5:46 am
u.s. west texas intermediate and brent crude up to ten-month lows in yesterday's session on the wall street journal report that opec and partners would discuss increasing output by up to 500,000 barrels per day at the next meeting on december 4th. prices rebounded in had full after the saudi energy minister denied that report saying the kingdom is sticking with output cuts let's talk more about this confusion with john kilduff. founding partner at kilduff partner. if you put more oil out and bring more supply to market, it moves prices lower if you take it offline, supply lack of, makes prices higher what do we take from this as opec does something at the december 4th meeting
5:47 am
>> that's why i stuck with commodities in my career the dip yesterday got the saudi's attention. the move of wti below $80 is something they have a line in the sand for brent, more importantly, above $85. it was bizarre opec plus engineered a supply cut or quota cut three or four weeks ago as this point. the market was caught off guard by the alleged turn around in policy and obviously had the whiplash back up higher when it became clear it wasn't the case. however, last month, the saudis pumped more oil than the previous month it is a confused state of affairs with the producers
5:48 am
obviously the situation with russia is the big 500-pound gorilla in the room here mostly because we are facing a supply cliff from russia when the eu embargo, for lack of a better word, kicks in on december 5th which is a week or two away we could finally, the market could finally lose meaningful amounts of russian crude oil and refined products that hasn't been the case since the war started with ukraine it could finally begin to play here in december obviously the peak demand period in the northern hemisphere winter which would mean the lost russian barrels a factor in getting prices in rally mode it is what we are holding our breath for it is the parade of horribles when you talk about triple digit oil again. we so far have been able to
5:49 am
skirt the worst-case scenario. consumers have been very lucky the set up for the winter is going to be a moderate winter the way the atmospherics are looking. we still may be lucky. the true test is coming here in a couple of weeks. >> you bring up an excellent point. demand dynamic they are jaw bone all they want about supply what about demand? that is clear now especially with china starts to lockdown because of covid is that going to put pressure on prices >> very much so, dom signaling as we saw yesterday is very important you signal you will be tight with supply and prices will go up otherwise, down. no, on the flip side of everything i just said china is as important on the demand side of the price equation ass saudi arabia and russia on the supply side. the covid situation in china recently gone off the rails.
5:50 am
the number of cases is spiking beijing may go into full lockdown across the entire city. only part of it is right now other key sectors of china are in lockdown already. it is hurting their economy. it has been hurting their economy. their economy, china's economy has been problematic with or without covid. property sector in particular. gdp there. nothing like it was. again, consumers outside of china are lucky because we're not being squeezed by demand it is facing this situation that is keeping a lid on prices because of the covid situation in china >> co >> john kilduff. thank you. kari firestone is up next with the shopping list

5:54 am
still above it for the s&p we need a couple of strong days to carry this forward. it would be greatif we saw thi this week. it is a short trading week >> with the short trading week, there have to be in the coming days and weeks with the strong time of year are more on the radar. take us through your picks you are a stock picker by trade. i like to know what is on the list >> the first thing i would say is it is a little early to be too aggressive on adding risk. the market has been risk an ve averse all year. there have been a number of stocks which were battering ram at them. we see attractive opportunities to match with those more
5:55 am
defensive. on the slight risk-on trade, we add some meta and some google tgoogle, alphabet or salesforce meta sales is a ten times multiple these companies all talked about cost cutting and making an effort to improve margins. they are activists in many tech stocks google is an example where you are having major hedge funds say we don't think that your structure is appropriate for the way we are looking at companies now. you need to bring more to the bottom line. yes, we see opportunities there. on the other side, we still have some defense names
