2:01 pm
and a look at nasdaq trade and the day's big movers good friday afternoon, kristina. >> happy friday. talk about shares of apple, because they are moving higher up almost 3% higher after morgan stanley raised its price target to $180 a share. that's 20% upside from last night's close. shares about $150 now. over the next 12 months apple will benefit from pent-up iphone demand two new product launches improved service growth and potential introduction of an iphone subscription program which is rumored to mean rent the latest phone and pay a monthly fee. rumors so far. shares, up 3%, but still down roughly 9.7% just over the past year c 3 ayei shares up over 30% enter applies ai firm post add
2:02 pm
loss revenue beat the street and a cash pile. spending wiggle room while it trying to capitalize on this ai mome momentum lastly shares of networking chipmaker marvel roughly 6% lower. one of the worst on the nasdaq revealing working through inventory corrections, storage and enterprise leading to weaker than expected foreign guidance ceo said on the earnings call expects headwinds to subside later in f er in fiscal 2024. >> all anybody is talking ak doing this yesterday matching >> it is a sign of great minds great minds. >> i agree. >> think alike. >> bertha and i matching reds yesterday. it happens vibes that we get. >> we're around each other so often. inevitably it happens. >> too early for st. paddy's day.
2:03 pm
>> great for the markets. >> true. kristina, thank you very much. >> say that. right to the eye anxiety over high interest rates ten-year yield and mortgage rates up, bostic a fed member hawkish. larry summers calling for a half point hike at the next meeting adding to higher for longer narrative and for cnbc editor with us and yet as we reach a fever peek, ten year reversing today. >> markets trying to figure it out. bostic dovish yesterday. set markets on fire. interestingly enough markets paid attention to a guy not a voter and ignored a guy who is a voter, chris walter. came out said, look, i'm really getting scared of inflation data very good chance we play need to be higher for longer and get more aggressive with rates like the old simon and garfunkel song, what the market wants to hear disregarding the other. >> applies last couple of
2:04 pm
sessions bostic comments, could have read it differently waller, you said, shrugging off and dropping a little weird. >> a crazy thing i think the big thing, fed reading coming up in a couple weeks. hopefully will sort this out i think fed officials now are kind of trying to get markets away from this idea of 25 versus 50 what are they going to do? getting people to basically look, check out the doc clock, what that will be. matters where we're headed long term a hawkish shift maybe and put holes in this risk-on narrative in markets. >> also about the long-term versus shorter term. right? talk about the ten-year yields, and you bid up the prices, and yields fall. you bid up prices because maybe you don't have as much fear of inflation, or growth for that matter, longer-term down the line meanwhile play that two-year side of thing es one-year side. going to be where the terminal rate will be by the time this is
2:05 pm
said and done. so you wonder if it's a push and pull about whether there is going to be an neconomic slowdow and is it beyond this year >> thinking fed will blink see data, can't go high as we want to go interestingly enough a year ago at this time fed put the smplt ep out and terminal 8.2% markets pricing in almost double. >> and still think it's going to blink? biggest development since jan 1, market coming up to where the fed really was, and yet like saying we believe you and understand going as high as maybe going 6% at some point a downward trend >> at least the market gotten away from pricing in great reductions we think they've realized that and still don't think the fed's going to go high as they say they're going to go and certainly some precedent for that sort of look at fed guidance
2:06 pm
over about the last three, four years. we're going to keep raising rates until we tame inflation, where we want to be not raising rates more and jay powell saying long way from neutral. on autopilot so much skittish fed policy and so much skittish guidance it's marred for markets to -- john taylor saying, starting to look at things like the taylor rule again. so much confusion. hear from the fed chair next week steve reminded me. >> and op-ed today in the "wall street journal" calling for a half point rate hike saying if the fed was data dependent going up 250 basis points from here and doing something really crazy. there's so many different voices that these guys have in their ears now, and the markets just -- you know, market want to go higher, going to go higher. >> this is wisdom by the way dan suzuki thinking last hour saying fed a lagging indicators that reacts to lagging indicators all i worry about.
2:07 pm
inflation data, why get to 9% cpi? stimulus, 6, 12, 18 months ahead of that date feels we're overreacting to the recent past. >> the thing to do seems i talked about this, you and i credit spreads blowing out who knew still a credit cost market for treasury bonds out there, and there is. up to pricing in according to msci up 13% validity of default? >> yes. >> all those newly minted treasury mom and pop owners across the country. >> bond insurance. >> watch maturity. appreciate it. stocks fell higher for the week dow's first winning week by the way, if it holds this way in a month. stocks moving after bostic favors more 25 or one quarter point rate hikes but can stock
2:08 pm
continue higher if the fed keeps its foot on the gas? or the brakes? i guess i was going to say, seems like the brakes these days right? joining us now onset ron insana co-ceo and cnbc contributor. familiar face for years. didn't want to say -- didn't want to date you there remotely, eric friedman, chief investment officer for u.s. bank asset management gruoup. thank you both for being here. set the stage on a macro level with you, ron. a market, had this debate among many different people on this network about whether or not the fed is being enough proactive in terms of its approach or still reactive to what kelly points out rightfully so backward looking? >> i'm in kelly's camp she knows. what i heard from jeff from larry summers missed this morning, missed the op-ed and follow them on twitter, putting up phillips curve graphs on
2:09 pm
twitter, wage inflation and fed needs to be more -- weeks ago larry summers said shouldn't commit one way or the other. >> two u-turns in a row. >> coyote moment, economy falls off a cliff. i don't get what's going only. got a piece coming out talking about fleetwood mac and the fed, never going back again hired higher for longer, wanting to fight inflation overdoing it on inflation front and starting to gets hints from a lot of businesses consumer is slowing down real estate and manufacturing in recession. look, from market persecutive choppy, we've said before. >> eric, these are all interesting points, and reason it's so important in ways when it comes to how market professionals are helping clients navigate these waters and their money, comes down to whether or not there is a strategy, put into place for this even. i wonder from your standpoint what is that
2:10 pm
wh what do you tell clients, who don't know what to do with themselves >> a question we get quite a bit. not to invoke another fleetwood mac zhsong but "hold me. what do you do with cash's in 6 month and 12-month cash an opportunity for clients to grab yield. doesn't happen often the way we've approached it with clients, a little more of a defensive bias in terms of risk assets skew the portfolio towards more cash flowing investments smack in the middle of a very well-defined range for both the s&p between 3,800 and 4,200 and kelly's point from an earlier segment. concerned about envinversinvers that consistent talking to clients about helping drive real returns in portfolios.
2:11 pm
>> interesting, just want to point thise conversations with folks in the last call it maybe month or so about people talking about laddering certificates of deposits and laddering treasury securities three months, six month, one year, two year notes and bills. do you feel as though that's maybe almost a contrarian sign, if all of these people are talking about whether or not they want to go and ladder out their fixed income risk-free investments? >> dom, a great point. there's really what i would say not a mutual exclusive conclusion what this means for people's risk appetites. for years i think we have been in a period where savesavers punished keeping optionality in a form of cash actually paying a return i think is a good thing. to your point, there is the overreach that can always happen that pendulum can shift way too far.
2:12 pm
actually what we're looking for. we think economic setting in later this year riskier asset classes probably get cheaper but if people wait too long, of course before the data turns they're going to miss it we think being tactical is added in portfolios. the risk people get too complacent >> welcome to the chop, he says. exactly what you said as well, ron. choppy period that as we try to figure this out. chop a good thing based and what forward data suggests. >> i'm not in the camp that thinks we're in a new bull market by any stretch of the imagination. we're working off the bear market and this could go on. second bull market requires the fed to be friendly and much better, earnings improvements, better quality movements currently that are headwinds have to subside and turn into tailwinds for the market to get a secular head of steam.
2:13 pm

2:16 pm
all right. time for today's "techcheck" out to deed bra bosa for moring on the drama and saga silvergate and its very, very bad no good week deirdre? >> indeed. put it in context. ftx biggest to fall, silvergate may never present potential failure of banking piece of crypto kicking off a fresh new crisis in the space. shares absolutely plunging this week after the bank had to delay release of its annual report and ability to continue as a growing concern. so solvency a crisis rippling across the sector and silvergate functioned at the so-called rails of crypto connecting u.s. crypto industry with the traditional financial system plays a major role here and major players on all sides quickly pulling away from that
2:17 pm
infrastructure circle. coinbase, paxos and jpmorgan, readjusts downgrading rating to under weight and withdrew its price argument raising the question yet again how many more dominoes will fall and how much more money lost? stablecoin, entire value derived from confidence. a belief one circle or one tether, one ust worth one u.s. dollar amade the many crises of confidence in crypto, tether, take a look. largest stablecoin from $70 billion shown cracks see in this chart unpegged from the dollar a few times over of the last 12 months circle remained relatively more stable, but as we await their long promised audit they remain vulnerable in a still very vulnerable industry and silvergate the latest to show that. >> deirdre, if you look at the
2:18 pm
way sentiment played out here. we know that silvergate has been a huge catalyst for this if there is something else, if you're going to look at this something else to keep a close eye on besides the stablecoins, how about the more established ones talked about bitcoins and others showing signs relative strength we've seen, that bull rush we saw at beginning of this year starting to run out of steam is this the beginning of this or is this just maybe some churn and chop like we talked about in the last segment >> well, i think the failure of so many other tokens has kind of underlined in a way legitimacy of a bitcoin and ehere to rhum and what a lot of folks in the industry would say ethereum decentralized coins and you talking about, those failing centralized things a lot of irony i some argue at least the
2:19 pm
evangelists argue ftx silvergate going down because exchanges, banks, lenders tether is an interesting one in stablecoins. also centralized but argue derailed more than silvergate and how people get money in and out of coins bitcoin and can't answer you directly i think chop, who knows. so many more things that could fail in this system, but you would hear anyone in the space argue at least will be around and could go further down. >> struck by the fact this is really the first time talking about crypto transferring to the real financial system. up until now seen extraordinary drop of wealth without much ripple effects silvergate a clear example of ripple effects i wonder are there others? >> i point back to stablecoin again. money market funds holding huge
2:20 pm
amounts of short t-term debt and treasury the black swan of the industry you could see these ripple effects in the traditional financial system, because they are integrated again, we don't really know the full extent. they have remained relatively stable, but there are huge questions. even a piece in the "wall street journal" today looking at some of the -- untoward practices that the company that owns tether ensgached in over the years. we know it's under investigation by the department of justice certainly one to look at more integrated than any of the things mentioned in the traditional financial system. >> excellent point deidre bosa. further ahead on the show, island of riches amid a housing slump. motor expensive real estate in america climbing talking talking palm beach we'll be there for a look necessary. focusing on the human and human resources. a start-up that helps provide cost effective and meaningful benefits to employees.

2:26 pm
risk-free assets rick >> yes we see stocks in the green we see treasuries in the green, and that really comes at a time where many at the fed are only seeing red markets don't seem to agree. look at the two day of three year why did i pick three year? a good reason. because today and yesterday both have intraday highs higher than 4.65%, real important. open the chart up to october what you see is the cycle high yield close going back to october 20th it was right around 465. why is that key? well, because two years, the only one taking out fall highs at a time where every piece of guidance from the fed is higher rates. the market is bucking that trend and to some extent inverted curve. look what's going on in fed fund futures this october fulcrum, price going down, start going up, basically going to close on its contract lows close to that, which means pricing in most it has in the entire kriscycle.
