describe these as balloons this is the fourth takedown as we have seen recently. lawmakers are left in the dark about the situation. the u.s. military shooting down a fourth unidentified high altitude object on sunday. this time over lake huron. >> what has gone on the last two weeks or ten days has been nothing short of craziness the military needs to have a plan to not only determine what is out there, but determine the dangers. >> reporter: president biden ordering the takedown after the military concerns about the object's path and altitude it was a safety hazard and threat this marks the third object blasted out of the sky in three days and commenes a week after chinese balloon was shot out of the sky.

>> they seem trigger happy this seems permissible over the chinese spy balloon over the sensitive sites. >> reporter: military leaders say the pentagon has been scrutinizing air space. officials are collecting data to determine what the recent objects are as bipartisan calls for transparency grow. >> why it is taking so long to identify these objects why it is taking so long to be shot down? >> people's anxiety leads them to potentially destructive areas. i hope the administration has a lot more information for all of us on what's going on. >> reporter: lawmakers are pushing for a briefing on the unidentified flying objects. the pentagon is searching for answers about the nature and purpose. officials say there was no indication of aliens with the recent takedowns brian. >> the fact they are answering

that and addressing the alien part is fascinating. why does it seem, brie, all these things, i geesuess one waa balloon. the others could be balloons or something else why are they all suddenly appearing in any official word on this? >> reporter: no. it is unclear. officials tell nbc news that the norad command is looking at more data now than ever before. it could be that these latest objects were always there. we are just now seeing them. officials continue to investigate this and are looking through the debris and trying to figure out what these objects are and where they came from brian. >> you wonder, brie, if there is another one, as opposed to shooting it down, track it and keep it safe so there are no planes maybe try to catch it or capture

it to study it further brie jackson thank you very much. weird. without any information, it allows all kinds of crazy stuff to go around. all right. we have a lot to do on this busy monday when we come back, exclusive one-on-one conversation with jpmorgan chase chair of global research joyce chang her understanding of the markets and her team putting your money to work. and lord john browne is here to talk about the millions that europe is spending on green energy we have big guests ahead nasdaq up a bit.

side and producer side this week with that in mient, nd what do we do? we bring in vance howard are you powering through on caffeine and luck? i don't know if we should be surprised by last week and suddenly the calendar flipped and every stock everybody sold last year was the brighgreatest the world? >> people are bearish. take the negative news out went positive for the first full-time which means the trend changed. we have been buying the pullbacks. inflation is out there and the fed is doing their job to control it, but there are wonderful things going on and wonderful companies making a lot of money we see a tremendous amount of opportunity here, brian. i'm bullish.

you know, everybody is negative. i'm bullish. the line is positive the trend turned back up brian, to be successful at this, you have to do what is not comfortable sometimes. >> yeah, it wasn't comfortable last year. all of a sudden, everything changed. tax selling or garbage buying. a lot of the worst companies rallying you know, we love to talk about cnbc, vance, about apple and tesla all the time a lot of great companies out there we don't talk about. one of those, you think, is a new jersey based refining company. it is called pbf energy. you think that is a good bet >> you know, brian, it plays into the theme of small cap and midcaps will do well this year they a good refinery we think oil and gas is good this year. they are paying a dividend and the balance sheet looks strong

it will break back up and push into the $55 to 6$60 range in te near term. we think it is a bit different brian, we talk about the big stocks like nvidia, but it has run a bit. pullbacks are viable here is a mid-cap that we think is investable with legs. >> another is a boise cascade. i'm not sure i mentioned boise except in reference to idaho in a couple of years. >> one of the largest manufacturers of wood products we think housing will be tight we think the construction sector will have a good year in 2023. boise cascade is a good way to play it has a good balance sheet. a strong and well managed company. people need to look at it.

job cut regrets and not taking an axe to head count sooner. the surprising comments on this monday, february 13th. this is "worldwide exchange. welcome or welcome back. good post-super bowl monday morning. i'm brian sullivan thank you for joining us reminder, tomorrow is valentine's day. we have super bowl brain, but, you know, tomorrow is valentine's day. prep let's see how your money is prepping to shape up on this monday that is a mixed trade. no indication. nasdaq futures up 25 dow futures down 44. at this point, flip a coin and see which way the market will go by the way , we are coming off the first down week for the year a red hot start to the year.

inverse what happened last year. last week, the down week for 2023 bond yields and borrowing costs keep going up. inflation does remain red hot. 10-year treasury ticking up 3.73%. up about 10 basis points from last week. that means mortgage costs and car loans are likely to rise a bit in the days and weeks ahead. something to pay attention to if you want to borrow a big chunk of money goldman sachs ceo out with interesting comments and another cryptocurrency exchange getting attention. pippa stevens is here with that. brian, gooldman sachs ceo says he wishes he made the decision to slash jobs sooner rather than later. david solomon told a private gathering of executives he takes responsibility for not being

more aggressive in slowing hiring and reducing head count last year adding that every bond in his body was telling him to do so. goldman announced 3200 jobs cut. nikola is working on hydrogen plants for the trucks in canada. nikola is working to have fuel for 7,500 sttrucks by 2026. the s.e.c. told the crypto firm paxos it will sue the s.e.c. alleges that binance asset that paxos issues and lists is an unregistered security and binance ceo said paxos has been ordered by new york state

to stop minting stablecoins and the reserves are fully covered brian. >> more attention. not in a good way. incr incredible pippa stevens, thank you to europe now and a warning from germany, denmark and five other european union nations they are calling on brussels this morning, the capital of the eu parliament, not to rush into major changes to the bloc electricity market that in response to the energy crisis, which is still ongoing the eu is drawing sweeping changes to protect consumers from fossil fuel price spikes and avoid the repeat of the surge of utilities after the russian invasion of ukraine. the problem was well before that this is as european governments

spent $850 billion and rising to deal with the current crisis up 12% from the year earlier and nearly equal to the eu $800 billion covid recovery fund. costs for the european energy crisis will go up over what they spent on covid joining us with more is lord john browne. lord browne, good to have you on i will see you at the conference in houston in a couple of weeks. is the energy crisis, and by the way, we have been great. weather is better and storage is better than everybody expected we will have natural gas to get through the year that is good news. lord browne, is the energy crisis morphinging into a finana crisis >> we will see a financial

redist redistribution energy producers, notably the state oil producers and states with oil and gas will be getting more cash flow than they ever expected to get. we see this crisis still around because demand is still picking up post-covid. notably in china we have demand rising and supply being very tight so far so good you know, we take it step by step over the year in particular to the end of this year. >> it is good. the storage levels are good, although, again, we are counting on weather perfection. i'm not sure anybody predicted that mother nature would cooperate the way she has. it was nearly 60 u.s. degrees in new york city a couple days ago

which is mid-february which is unheard of how long can europe continue to spend this kind of money what if this goes on for years >> well, it won't go on for years, i don't think in the end, there will be supplies opened up and more transportation of energy from places that have it to europe. for example, and to the uk this will not go on for years. this is a one-to-two-year problem that will sort out it changes the whole mix of energy that people will want so, i think that's something that will, in the end, cure. weather is unpredictable and certainly with climate change being close to a critical point

and it is very unpredictable very unpredictable indeed and not to say the temperature will be higher, but would be lower as in the u.s. recently and it happens all over the world very unpredictable >> what is predictable, lord browne, is human response and ritiscence of change i was in the uk prior to the ukraine invasion this is -- the yarussian invasin made it worse. i was in germany and they were talking about more wind turbines in the northern part of the country. there were so many permitting and regulatory issues and public opposition that they could not build the power lines to get the wind power to the richer

southern part of the country you know, i laughed sarc sarcastically because that happens in the united states you may be familiar with nimby not in my backyard how will we get anything of significance >> people understand where the issues are you have to wait for a long time to get a wind farm offshore in the north sea connected. there are bottlenecks with regulation and the ability to cable and ability to get from local distribution company to the national grid and back again. so lots of issues around it has to be sorted out. otherwise productivity in the area will get worse and worse. the electricity grid was never as sorted out or designed to do what it is doing at the moment there needs to be a big

infrastructure investment to get the flows in the right direction and get the issues sort out. there is not enough money going in at the moment there will be, i believe, as the pressing need becomes so apparent the other thing is it is not just supply of electricity and other forms of energy, but it's demand as well every day we go around a city and there's useless lighting lots of office building with nobody in them fully lit. lots of people idling in cars. lots of people, you know, spending time doing things during the day that could be done at night to level the demand lots of things need to be sorted i think there will be tools and techniques to allow people to do that demand management. >> let's hope human behavior is

able to be overcome. see you in houston thank you very much. all right. $800 billion folks extra spent on energy. coming up, the latest developments on the story captivating america. another unidentified object flying over the american air space. eamon javers is here with what ybwhe isoefrwhat we don't and mae erth gs om here. stick around e told our concerns are all in our head. here, we don't think we should pay more than men for the same thing. or pay taxes for period products. here, we can ask tough questions, day or night. and here, we're actually heard. and because of that, we can focus on getting healthier together. together. here, healthier happens together. cvs health.

(dock worker) right on time. (vo) make it even smarter. we call this enterprise intelligence.

welcome back to a developing story and one we and much of america is watching closely for the third time in four days the military has shot down an unidentified flying object the latest between michigan and canada over lake huron fighter planes were deployed to eliminate the object eamon javers is here with me we went back and forth with this over text yesterday. >> reporter: brian, the f-16 fighter jet fired a single the side winder missile yesterday dropping the object in the lake huron over michigan. there is no explanation for what the object was other than the

description of the object with strings hanging from it and no discernible pay load it was traveling at 20,000 feet. the military will recover the object from the lake waters in the coming days. it is unprecedented number of encounters started on february 4th with the surveillance balloon was shot down over south carolina and then another object over alaskan air space. that is roughly the size of the small car. on saturday, the fighter jet shot down the object over canada it is not clear where the latest three objects came from or who sent them or the intent of the objects. it seems clear the white house is under pressure to provide answers to this as the week goes on brian. >> i have 100 questions and not

enough time. are we going to get -- when can we expect to get real information? they are having the press conferences not on camera. pentagon giving us basic facts the u.s. government, as far as they are telling us, are just as confused as we are >> reporter: yeah. they are not offering any real explanations here. part of the challenge is that u.s. and canadian forces need to get to the areas where these objects were shutdown in the north. it is so cold and remote up there, it will be a challenge. we also have a challenge of fishing it out of lake huron in the middle of february that is a difficult challenge. more answers waiting for that. we saw one of the top generals who was asked yesterday, look, are you ruling out aliens here he said i'll leave that up to the intelligence community i'm not ruling anything out. the pentagon walked that back

after that general said that and said, we don't see any indication it is aliens. it is not that maybe not that that's it. the chinese government last night said they have no information on the three unidentified objects either. take that for what it's worth. >> they claimed to shoot down one themselves we launched a century aircraft the satellite dish with the radar on top i followed it on flight radar. we launched a tanker refuelling plane. we fire up an f-16 and it is $400,000 we are spending a lot of money on this. these airplanes have significant camera capability. i find it and i spoke with two aviation executives yesterday. including one former naval pilot. i find it impossible to believe

that the government does not have the video from the fighter jets no way the fighter jets are going up and blowing these things up without taking a look at what they are and maybe getting something on camera. is it possible, eamon, we could get some video of these soon i can assure you we are not blowing these up, according to people that know military tactics and aviation, without getting a check and filming then and try to understand what they are further. >> reporter: for the basic reason you want to be sure they are unmanned before you shoot them down. you don't want to accidentally kill somebody. >> i'm on the way to new mexico. >> reporter: exactly you can't have that. they have to take a good look. the government has not released anything in terms of pictures or intelligence or details. they are waiting to get the wreckage to really look at it so they understand what they are dealing with to put it in context, brian, of

the ufo report in january. the u.s. government said there are unidentified flying objects in u.s. air space. 171 they are looking at as unidentified incidents where u.s. military pilots reported seeing these objects in the air and not shooting them down in the last year. seeing them. the u.s. military is stumped about what they are. it is a mystery. brian. >> theory out from china testing our radar to some promotional thing for the unidentified atmosphere ad. >> maybe -- >> that is not it. the internet everything is out there. eamon javers, thank you. during february, we are celebrating black heritage with teammates and contributors and cnbc teammates

we have deborah lee with more. >> growing up in the seeing reg -- seei segregated south made me proud of my heritage and proud of my history and one of my greatest desires was to be successful and to be able to give back to amy community. m oubeg leo that. i hope it has an impact on the rest of the world.

it already has to some degree. they really had come down after the g20 summit the sense that the biden administration was trying to bring down the tension the longer this goes on, the more the questions will come out about that the visit postponed by blinken and other things delayed and postponed. i don't think this will leave our radar as easily as we thought when the whole issue first emerged. the tensions are going to stay with us over the medium and longer term. this is a strategic competition. it is focused on national security and military issues and the defense issues and tech issues i don't think this is necessarily going to leave the headlines that easily. >> okay. thank you for not telling me my question was insane. you have the crazy situation going on we find out it was some kind of

chinese excursion or whatever radar testing it may be. you wonder you wake up and dow futures are down a couple hundred points outside of that, assuming this goes away, what is the most important thing, economic number or event to you and your team? >> look, we are overweight on china equities and reopening trade is one that has quite a lot further to play out. now we are looking at growth in china for the year at 5.6% that's materially higher than what we thought before a lot of the tourism and travel and commodities stand to do well here what we are seeing is the china reopening is more durable than the european lift and there are more concerns about the u.s. right now and we may get a slowdown, but the pause will take longer and we will be looking at a terminal rate that needs to move higher with the

focus on the strong u.s. economic and inflation data and pressure >> if we get the -- we had the revision for the december inflation number we got that revision last week it showed the things were not accurate because inflation state hot. joyce, what happens tomorrow? i know you are not a short-term thinker. what happens with the cpi number that comes in red hot and what happens if the cpi comes in ice cold >> we are looking at more fed hikes. 25 basis points. you could reinvigorate the terminal rate and be where it needs to be. is it possible it needs to be higher than 5% you have the bumper jobs report in january that raised hopes that the u.s. economy avoided recession. i think the question is are you going to need more tightening

here ahead the signaling and communication needs to reflect that. we have seen treasury yields move higher over the last couple of days and that could continue. >> yeah. that's going to be the theme okay, we got more rate hikes in the forecast in march and one in may and theoretically we're done 5.5% terminal rate then what, joyce we are always looking for the next thing the fed will come off the headlines and rate hikes will be over what is the next 12 months after that going to be focused on? >> i think the market will ask was the first quarter of the year the high point? will we see the earnings come down here? we will see the excess savings come down as well and looking

for slower growth even if the economy avoids recession the question may be did we have the very front loaded rally because we had a number of turning points that were unexpected china's risk to reopening and the warm winter in europe and lower gas prices also in japan, the surprise move where the stronger dollar story has gone through some revisions. i think many people may ask the first quarter was necessarily a high point we see some of the medium and longer-term risks with slowdowns and profit margins coming down in the second half of the year >> yeah. here's what i worry about, joyce. i look at consumer credit data and maybe i'm scarred still from the financial crisis and what have you nearly $1 trillion of revolving credit much of that is credit card. auto loans mortgages.

most of them are fixed i get it the inflation on the consumer credit side. i know we have wage gains. are the wage gains enough to mitigate the massive jump in just debt service costs that americans are likely to have in months, quarters and years ahead? i don't see how we keep putting everything on credit cards forever. am i being chicken little? >> no. look, the consumer is still in the stronger position than in 2019 remember, we had the massive excess savings cushion more than $2 trillion at the beginning of last year. this has come down by the second half of the year, that will have been really evaporated i think you are right to focus on just the strength of the consumer that is ultimately what will determine whether we have a recession and what kind of

recession that will be the excessive savings cushion has been a buffer in the last year >> joyce changthk yo, anu. that does it for us.
