5:02 am
yesterday. this morning is muted and flat across the board nasdaq was lower a minute ago. you can see not a lot of movement overall we are checking the bond market. starting off with the benchmark 10-year treasury this moved 18 points higher since the debt limit deal. still an elevated yield with the 2-year treasury. some thought it would ease after the debt deal. the 2-year at 2.455. we are looking at energy we continue to watch energy after the opec cuts. wti is moving higher since saudi arabia decided to reduce production down .50%. brent crude is moving higher down .50%. same story for nat gas let's get the check on asia and europe with joumanna bercetche in the london newsroom with both.
5:03 am
joumanna, good morning >> the hando over from wall street is cautiocautious we are seeing the mixed bag with the positivity shanghai in china is up .50% we did have news overnight that some of the local banks will cut deposit rates. that is a positive sign that maybe a bigger interest rate cut to come in the future. that is giving a bit of life to the shanghai indices nikkei is in focus you see japan has pulled back from the three-decade high .880%. we had data on the gdp front japanese economy grew 2.7% in the first quarter this year. coming in higher than estimates of 1.6%. not the case for europe. we just had some data crossing now suggesting the eurozone gdp number has been revised lower to minus 0.1%
5:04 am
a bit of a disappointing macro data there ftse 100 in the uk is down .30%. the banks and minors have been in focus this week dax and cac 40 trading around the flat line. all eyes, as ever, on the ecb meeting next thursday. >> joumanna, thank you very much joumanna bercetche live in our london newsroom. time for a check on the corporate stories with silvana henao. >> thank you, frank. as joumanna mentioned, china's sixth biggest state banks cutting rates to boost spending and economic growth. china construction and bank of china are now offering 2.4% and 2.5% on three-year and 5-year term deposits. that is down 15 points from september. rep reports this morning that fox news notified carl tu-- tuce
5:05 am
carlson violated his contract after his show debuted on tuesday. and now coinbase minutes with a block of 4,000 contracts of coinbase clips expiring friday hit the tape when the stock was trading over $61 a share. by noon, in new york, coinbase shares had fallen 12% and the options traded for as much as $1 that is a gain of almost 450%. >> very interesting move there i think a lot of people are watching and we'll talk about that today coinbase sarshares down this morning. z silvana, thank you. the nasdaq hit the hardest in yesterday's session
5:06 am
the index leading the losses for the week down 1%. speaking with cnbc yesterday, jpmorgan chase strategist was pressed on the tech rally going too far too fast >> i do think it is exceptional. you know, it has been the breadth of the rally was narrow. some of the largest companies tied to the a.i. team sort of rallying tremendously. it is hard to say it cannot go more we think it is in a little bit of a bubble domain i think it is too late. >> for more on this and the day head, let's bring in delano saporu delano, good morning >> good morning, frank >> you heard marko there you have a lot of younger clients and people and millan p
5:07 am
ya'll -- millaenmillennials. right now, is it time to take profits or hold on for more? >> i thoi if you are looking at -- i think if you are looking at the semis and plays tied to a.i., this is a time to take profits. you look at people invested since the beginning of the year and nvidia, that stock has done well since the beginning of the year if you look at the last quarter print, they had a strong print and guidance the run-up is extreme. if you are looking at risk management, there is now an opportunity for investors to take some profits off the table and leave position long because it is an extreme run especially in the name like that. there will be volatility going forward and we still have a lot of data on inflation and jobs and what the fed is doing. that would be my position when it comes to some of the names that run up a lot.
5:08 am
>> big run ups maybe it is time to take money off the table. i want to talk about the sector later in the show and i'll bring up retail with you now we have seen double digit gains from the data. we have mastercard data here what do you see with retail? how do you feel about retail is it investable >> retail is interesting if you think about a lot of the projections from the beginning of the year is recession the retail is consumer struggling where it is not a great place for investors. there is a strong point in a silver lining for investors looking for retailers doing well especially online. a company we looked at is lululemon. it had a solid quarter with $2.8 billion in revenue strong store sales and direct to consumer was strong. that is where they are adding strength i think that is a strong retail
5:09 am
move with the direct to consumer and online growing same-store sales lululemon is doing well on that front. that is the bright spotty like to look at with retailers in this environment. >> we will talk about something that is not as sexy as other sectors. bonds. the one-month is 5.11% what is your view on bonds short bonds? long bonds >> it is not sexy. especially for younger investors when they look for growth and equities and different areas which are high flying. you know, at some point, this is a long time where people have looked at bonds. look at the data it is around 2007 where it was interesting to look at what bonds were doing short-term bonds are a great place for investors in the short term to hide out
5:10 am
especially waiting out for volatility and took money off the table. we have short-term bonds and you don't kneed to take on longer duration risk. short-term bonds are areas where folks can sit and catch income. >> you say short term. one or two or three? the six is higher than the one-month. the ten-year which is locking you in >> if you don't believe that rates are getting lower on the 10-year treasury, i would look at one-month to three-month. that gives you flexibility that is what we like to look at is the short-term. >> taxes wow. always great to see you. thank you for your time, delano. >> thank you, frank.

parent company bytedance is looking to expand to $20 billion of sales this year the report adds that projections in rapid growth in southeast asia and the expansion of sales in the u.s. and europe would make up a small portion of the $20 billion goal google is looking to crackdown on workers who have not been coming into the office con consi consistently according to memos, the company updated the hybrid work policy yesterday. that includes tracking office data and speaking to workers not coming in when they are supposed to and attendance records in performance reviews. as the s.e.c. continues the scrutiny of binance, lawyers for the exchange are accusing gary gensler of serving as an outside adviser. the lawyers claim the documents filed say gensler offered to
5:30 am
serve in the role in 2019 with cz t they sat down for an interview with gensler as part of the course he was teaching at m.i.t. back to you, frank. despite the drop yesterday, the s&p is inching toward 4,300. let's talk about what is going on with the sectors in home building and retail heading in opposite directions. the home builders have been on a tear up 25%. it is gloomy for retail. marginally positive in 2023. john ovallo and liz suzuki wil be with us in a moment we start off with john mortgage rates are high.
5:31 am
doubled year over year when you look, less people are buying houses and your data came out. there are less people searching for houses why are the home builders doing well >> it is an interesting time, frank. thanks for having me of if you look at the existing homes, there is nothing out there. think about the other side of the equation with the smaller and private home builders. there is less demanded out there and think of the demand out channelled to the public home builders who are able to get inventory on the ground. more importantly, offer financing. no one is paying 7% from a public home builder. they are paying 6% or 5.5% everything is channelled through them >> it sounds like the home builders are helping with the financing? >> that's correct. >> how does that work? >> what they are doing is paying down part of that mortgage over
5:32 am
the life of the loan it is a hit to gross margin. returns are still very good because they have more flowing through the pipeline >> we see the commodity prices as well. you see the gross margin is being hit to help with the mortgages. we we see commodities regulate. does that create a tailwind? >> 100%. lower lumber cost is a good thing. labor is loosening there are cost benefit offsets coming into gross margins on the positive side. home builders are pencilling a return over gross margin that gross margin will move up and down if they keep things moving, they will do well. >> i know there is less inventory. everybody knew that. >> the data is monthly it is volatile
5:33 am
it was fairly close to historical norms on a sequential basis. we weren't concerned about that. overall demand has moderated for the public home builders, what is exciting is the demand out there which is heading toward them. >> you have the best of class. they are all doing the same things, at left the publicly trait traded ones. companies focused on middle market and first time buyers which ones are the best for investors? >> you hit it. first-time home buyer is the juice in our opinion need base and motivated buyer. d dr horton >> give us another one the first-time home buyer. >> maritage homes.
5:34 am
smaller version of dr horton good footprint we like them a lot >> john, thank you i appreciate the insight >> thank you >> let's bring in liz suzuki liz, the xrt has lost 17%. you are pretty bullish >> that is right i think retail broadly has struggled a bit. if you think about what is happening with the u.s. consumer, which used to be the strong point of the u.s. economy, it makes sense. the spending data is softer that is why we are bullish on non discretionary categories and more of an investment. you touched on home builders and home and value of the home the home improve many retailers
5:35 am
like home depot and lowe's are where we think some of the spending is more investment based. you do home improvements think going it is an investment in the value of your home that is where we are a bit more bullish. >> you are a little more bullish with the home retailers. i want to throw something at you. we had a guest earlier looking at the ecommerce numbers hovering around the double digit mark for the year so far 10%. 8% strong growth with inflation and we are heading into a rece recessionary environment >> any retailer with a robust business, an momni channel is th mosts s most successful in last few years. that is successful for growth
5:36 am
and margins for a lot of retailers. online tends to be more diluted. having the in-store ability to capture margin has been successful you know, i think really what is happening is the pandemic trends of people wanting to shop online and people wanting the convenience hasn't stopped that is why we are seeing strength in the ecommerce. >> i want to talk about something else valuation. a lot of the retail stocks trading at low multiplemultiple. is there a certain level where the valuations are so low they become attractive? >> absolutely. if you look at a stock like lowe's which is trading below 14 times next year p.e. earnings. that is buying back shares the total shareholder return story is positive here this is a multiple that is below its pre-pandemic average going
5:37 am
back 20 years which is a significant discount we think the market is pricing in pretty meaningful decline in sales which is not what we are seeing at all. we expect the market for home improvement specifically to be flat this year off three very, very strong years of growth. we're assuming this year will look more like 2022. we think the market will look more like 2008 >> you said something important. pre-pandemic we're in the post-pandemic era should we change how we look at retail target is trading 16 times, almost the price pre-pandemic. is it time to change how we look at the big box stores? >> we should not throw out the last three years and say it did not mean anything because of the pandemic shopping behavior changed. i think we should think about what is permanently changing the value of the home has
5:38 am
changed for us i'm at home right now. a lot of us are still working from home a couple days a week or more pre-pandemic shifts have happened and the retailers have been successful during this period have built a lot of equity and also built very strong balance sheets as a result of the pandemic we think they should get credit for that going back to pre-pandemic and value based on 2019 levels of sales and saying that is what we are going back to is not appropriate. >> liz, thank you. turning our attention back on the big story today if you are like most, feeds with pictures like new york looking like mars. smoke from the canadian wildfires creating an instagram moment a fallout from flights grounded

5:46 am
insurers are limiting the coverage that lack of supply, frank, means insurers are paying more for re-insurance and passing along costs to customers which is a big reason why everybody watching right now has noticed you are paying more for property insurance. >> if you own a house or car or motorcycle, whatever, you notice the rates have been ticking up higher after they declined in the pandemic i want to be clear, is this all climate risk and climate change and wildfires and flooding or is there more >> one thing is the insurers get stuck with the legal bills and settlements were higher. that set the tone for the nation florida lawmakers tried to tackle that and changed the law. we will see how that works through the system
