or a girl. we will talk about that and we will talk about detroit at this hour. joining us on "markets now", working quickly to try to solve that financial problem. the emergency manager says that it needs to be done fast. we have mcdonald's taking a beating, falling short on earnings. even while people in here is a sore spot. fewer buyers are young people. we will get into all of that and maybe more this hour on "markets now."

>> i just don't care about this particular child. >> we are not forcing you to care. top of the hour, stock every 15 minutes. nicole petallides has the update. reporter: that is right, we are seeing the dow jones industrial right now back into positive territory after some weakening home sales. another thing we should note here is that the dollar has been weakening after moderately

particularly high goals. that is something that we are focusing on as well. you are seeing gold jumping significantly, up about 34 points, it is also a very big deal. lots watching the markets right now, they include microsoft and american express. >> don't forget about detroit today he will work carefully but quickly. >> i'm trying to get this done between 2014 and that is a little bit more than a year. it is a little bit more than here, but we now have a judge and the judge will have his own ideas about how the show.

dagen: we have to two guests with us. stephen, to you as well. the pension, the union, and the municipal bonds holder and this is good to take years and not a matter of months. >> it is the biggest city in american history and a very complicated case of bankruptcy in american history. other legal experts have said that it is more like three or four years, as many as $100 million on legal fees. connell: looking at this, the bondholders in particular, the retirees have already had stories written about that as public workers and they have counted on us from a political perspective.

>> it is one thing with pension benefits. i think that their moral obligations with pensions to say that you are not going to get it. but the key is equity. how do you get it to everyone? dagen: how do you feel sorry for the pensioners, there are people that are paying servicers crowd and this money is going out the door. >> i absolutely do. but at the same time, if the economy is not revived, we are not going to have much of the tax payers paying for this. and that is why we have to try to be fair to everybody. >> i think that retirees are giving another look at this and it sort of thing, i wonder how the judge will rule on this. what happens if they just completely obliterate it as we

get it had harder. >> we are entering uncharted territory in pension cuts. and this is a difference from state to state. connell: how about chicago and oakland. they're about 100 cops to fund this. these teachers ought to be paying very close. >> i think they will. >> neither one of you can jump in on us. because the city, people of the

city pay taxes. >> i wanted to talk about this. connell: it is tougher to recruit people working those jobs, i would think. >> it's a really ugly situation. a zero-sum struggle. over half of that is for obligations of pensions and retiree health care funds and very interesting as to how it can return to solvency. dagen: it is showing a lot of fruit in see.

>> there is unfortunately paralysis in this process. connell: would you like to wrap it up, stephen? >> just yes to my think the squeeze on public services. >> i think that services and taxes are very important. dagen: thank you both so much. connell: the markets up a little bit. but the focus is on interest at the top of the hour. mcdonald's was a big one. miss expectations for the second quarter and a lot of people will

be looking at that stock emeritus. down by almost 3% thanks to this 32 points. broadly speaking, earnings momentum, could it be changed? catie joins us now. you have talked about the fact that there could be some pasta this? >> yes, stocks are going down, mcdonald's is a restaurant stock. there is a broader market, and i think that that is in part due to the rising price of crude oil. the mcdonald's of the world has a lot more stocks to break out. and i think that that is sustainable and its positive earnings. >> the s&p 500 is clearing as soon as thisults in individual stocks breaking out. which is how you look at it for

the markets at 1695. break it up. short-term, what is the next big number that you're looking at? >> the s&p 500 may yield a short-term target of this is looking for about 1784 the months ahead. connell: the months ahead been six months to a year? >> yes, about six months. connell: is that kind of where the markets topped out for a little while? or what happens after that if we get there? >> i think it would be a natural place to be a stopping point for the market.

and as we have seen the rates creep up, is that something in a tenured yield the start get worried about? >> yes, probably there is a magic number. but i couldn't tell you what it is. it has turned the corner and it will work its way higher, there is a way that we are tracking each other higher for. for now it is not an issue. connell: it is much higher than us, is that what i told you? >> yes, my target for the 10 year treasury is about 375. so that is also very long target. yet i do think it is achievable over the long-term. and that without level we are following the momentum of the indicators at the same sight of them. connell: fair enough. good numbers with katie stockton. thank you so much for coming on the show. dagen: soon every car on the road could contain a black box.

share. a name that is well known. not a lot of competition. i see them as being one of those companies that is making a big move. by the way, it's been very profitable over the long-term. dagen: thank you, charles. connell: did you know that charles is a boy's name for the royal family that is a favorite? charles: that's right, it makes me a little jealous.

connell: markets now at the half-hour. one very important group not participating in this so-called housing recovery. tony sanders will talk about that with us. we have gas continuing to go higher and not great news for the economy. the bigger news might just be what is comiig in a couple of years. a superman and batman movie combined at the box office. we will talk about that. dagen: that is on tv, that's all that's on tv. every half-hour, stocks every 10 minutes. >> that's right, the younger folks not buying homes. as a matter of fact, let's take a look here.

existing home sales that came in at 10% and they were a big disappointment. but these stocks have come up off of the lows of the day. they were down 2% 3%, even down in the 1% range for the most part. down 1.7%. 1.2% in june. year-over-year we are seeing momentum according to many. obviously home and home building and home selling and anything related to homes is really driving the economy. so that is something that mortgages have been on the rise. that may have factored into this. coupled with the fact that it is a spring summer season as well. dagen: connell: to follow up on this, the housing recovery. down 7%.

2006 to 2011, that doubled more than national average. anthony sanders joins us now. a professor at george mason university. so good to see you. how big of a deal is the decline for young people specifically. what is the effect on the overall so-called recovery and housing of that? >> well, let me say welcome to the united states of europe. [laughter] in germany, people wait until they are 40 or 50 to buy there first time, and we are turning towards. that is why the more nails are not always getting in the housing market. connell: you can see tony's point illustrated. the people not buying houses until much later in life. okay, the european model, what is the overall thought process? >> i would definitely think it's a bad model. the housing market recovery as a whole, this means that we are not having our college graduates

are high school graduates going into the labor force and buying homes. relying on investors, canadians, chinese, turkish, russian to support our housing market. this is not the housing market we envision. connell: we are seeing this fueled by investors in big cities. for miami, we were talking about this a few minutes ago and the effect of foreign buyers in some of these markets, driving things along, that can be sustained? >> no because eventually the investors go away. once fields aren't there anymore for them. they will back out of the market. what we have in the background? nothing.

connell: we have seen interest rates go up over the last month or two. what is your outlook for that? unalaska about today's number. >> i agree with, you know, fred duncan about fannie mae. it's going to go up at least 100 basis points over the next year. particularly it will put downward pressure on the housing market. if you are young, even bigger downward pressure on the market. higher interest rates higher than they are right now. it is more favorable to invest in some points. >> absolutely. connell: nicole petallides mentioned it in greater detail, it is down. we know that. it is coming down from the multi-hide.. what did you make of the number today? >> we are back to the 1991 to 2001 levels. it has been rising like crazy since 2010. only back to the 1999 levels.

the housing market is taking a long time to recover and this might be the one that we might not see anymore. connell: it is always good to see you, thank you so much. >> and please tell dagen mcdowell that i like ripd. dagen: okay, thanks. [laughter] connell: everyone is entitled to their opinion. dagen: we know each other. anyway, gas prices spiking, we could be looking at the most expensive summer in five years. connell: apple looking to go beg. new extensions of the iphone and i've had. dagen: superman could be teaming up with batman in just a couple of years on the silver screen. a big-ticket draw and the big

business rate. effective january 1, the ceo john martin will be the new ceo. and google glass. it will give them a 3.6% stake more shares could eventually raise that to 14.8%. stocks are soaring more than 30%. and taking steps towards a wall street debut. this company is vying for an ipo less than four years after a bankruptcy auction. that is the latest in the fox business network, giving you the power to prosper

dagen: see how the european markets closed today.

propelling some european shares to highs today. about one third of a percent. connell: a weak finish for some of the others. texas and north dakota are about the only state without booming oil production. five other states have seen double-digit increases over the past three years as well. dagen: alicia has the details. tour that's right, we have colorado, utah, oklahoma, they have all seen oil production increase between 23 and 64%. combined, these states could outshine north dakota it wasn't for regulation on federal lands. companies find fewer hurdles. many blame the obama policy on

energy for leaving behind what others burn. >> we may need private development and it's not to say that this is permanent there, but you can get this on federal land in about 230 days. of much better process to go through. a lot of requirements for mark wrigley says sometimes folks forget that fuel doesn't come from a gas station, but it takes a long way to get there. conservation says they are not against energy development. saying under sing under this administration, more acres of federal land and they draw the line at places like this park in colorado. >> there's a lot of pullback. so what that leads to his things like the dom proposing to lease land in front of this makes

avert a national national park. for oil and gas criticism make any sense to be doing this drilling. reporter: they explained that they are simply trying to protect our western heritage. dagen: thank you so much, be well. gas prices climbing and now topping $3.60 per gallon. and 21 cents higher than it was at this time oster. so we probably won't get to the record that we hit back in 2008. or will he? >> heaven for bed. unless we get 15 hurricanes coming to the gulf of mexico. more than likely we are a lot closer to the top. the bad news is it is not over yet. at the pump over the next couple of weeks, a lot of refiners have

not been able to pass on the cost with the wholesale price of gasoline. as well as the futures price. we will still see prices edge up. prices for gasoline go up like rockets and fall like feathers and that is probably way that this is going to happen. but the good news is we are starting to see a little bit of the relief on the wholesale market. a lot of the refinery problems that caused this, should start easing a little bit and we should see a bridge. the other thing is u.s. refiners are ardent refining at an incredible pace. they run an eight year high and right now people are asking the questions, why are we not seeing more advantage from its oil production we are seeing in the united states. why isn't the united states. why can it translate into lower gasoline prices? i think eventually it will, but it's not happening right now. dagen: how low can the prices fall with this when it is passed

along? >> you know, it depends on what time frame you're talking about. i think that we will see an era of much lower grass prices down the road. we are going to become more fuel efficient and especially when it comes to driving on the road. so right now that the u.s. infrastructure isn't growing pains. we have built this industry to bet on champion will importer. now you have to be an exporter. at the same time we have regulations that are slowing the progress of our situation. one of the reasons why gas pumps and 10 prices are up is because we are exporting a lot of gasoline because we can't sell it here because the rising cost

of ethanol makes it cheaper to export gas other places that may be the gulf coast in the midwest where they really need to supply right now and. dagen: it is most indeed global. thank you so much, great to see you. have a great week. dagen: we will see you before the weekend arrives. connell: let's shift gears and talk about user information. appleas become a victim of a cyberattack. the company refused to admit this. the personal information was encrypted and cannot be accessed. they have not been able to rule out the possibility from developers names and mailing addresses. a turkish securities researcher claimed responsibility for the attack. at a quarter to the hour, stocks every 15 minutes, another apple boost.

reporter: that is right, we have to headlines. given my private informatioo and the second is product and development. and we are looking at apple right now about half of 1%. now it has been reported in apple has been working with suppliers at increasing screen sizes. the phones, something larger than 4 inches, for the tablet devices those would increase. when you talk to the experts, they say that would go right in line with what we have been seeing in these mobile trends of devices and offering this. this is even new word i learned. even now the category of tablets, it makes them more competitive such as samsung. they have a larger screen and i something that has been very popular for samsung.

i just wanted to note that i did look at these sale ratios. so you still see that overall the trading community is still part of this. connell: the cool, thank you so much. dagen: that will not be a word that i will ever use. that was such an interesting thing. >> i didn't expect you to do that today. but now that we do, it's pretty funny. dagen: dennis kneale and has her box office report coming up next. connell: fabulous.

now. the big surprise is the conjuring from warner bros. over twice that in the first opening weekend of $20 million. here comes this film and 36 million. this man of steel sequel, finally they are reviving that with some real success. it took in 600 million and it will be made into a sequel. we will bring in batman and superman is going to be meeting with batman at comic con they revealed this logo this past weekend. as you can see, the applications on the batwing.

dagen: sons of anarchy was there, the cast, and bryan cranston from breaking bad was walking around, come with a mask from the show on and no one knew it was him. i am amazed. reporter: that you should see the level of detail at a gathering like that. >> it all depends on how the senate is. >> yes, he says he's not going to do it. the avengers can be a great franchise coming up. dagen: exactly. reporter: we are really seeing a lot of flops lately. so some of these have bigger budgets and they are exceptionally low. some of them are kicked off.

dagen: when you put money like that, you can mark any of these movies and know if they are good or not. >> i think the lone ranger has been the best so far speak to people no longer care about the lone ranger and the whole johnny depp and. the pirates of the caribbean, it is just not the same thing. connell: all right, thank you, dennis nearly. dagen: not loving mcdonald's today. the stock is down today. analysts on what they need to do to cook up a storm going forward connell: st. mary's hospital in london is the place to be today. the royal baby watch. cheryl casone he will talk about that as well. we will be right back.

still up over 15%. this does not give you a very accurate picture of what is really happening in the housing market right now. greg, you are saying that this data is old. you are looking at other factors. >> there is a seasonality in the market. the year-to-year numbers tell a story of a definite improvement year in terms of home demand. the data that we look at is

real-time feedback coming from the field. we have a network that tells us literally what is happening in the minds of buyers and sellers. cheryl: what is the deal? >> everything is the same as it was. people were just getting tired of being on the sidelines. any hint of an improved economy drew them off of the sidelines. we are seeing inventories begin to increase just a little bit. i think what we will see is the rest of this year, we will continue to see gains of 10% or

more. cheryl: we will have sales volume. what does this mean for prices. is housing no longer across the board going to be strong? will it be more of a regional story once again? we look at 15 year charts on home prices. there is a trend line. just like clockwork, it came back up again.

cheryl: we showed our viewers the trendline. texas, carolinas, tennessee, you also say and you warn, when interest rates get to 7%, you expect a pullback. we are getting closer to the level. more so than we have been in the past couple months. >> i expected to be a drag on demand. cheryl: you are buying -- >> yes. i do not buy property or recommend my clients buy property in places where people spend all of the money. you are a state headed for the

fall. all you will end up doing is raising taxes on your property owners. job growth, quality of life, cost of living. why get regulated, come down to texas where we will welcome you. i just moved from north carolina to new york. last week, the state government voted to lower corporate taxes and personal income taxes. they are following suit. cheryl: okay. i do want to show the states where you are investing.

dennis: big question for you. the "wall street journal." are these the economists who are optimistic actually wrong? >> i hope not. clearly, in the near-term basis, i think that affects of the soap questor cuts will have an impact in terms of consumer spending. hopefully, you will see a two plus% run rate. i think that bodes well for risk assets. dennis: you had said you would get out of consumer staples, but

the idea that the economy is getting better than people realize, was that a good call? >> we continue to be holders of the stock. the new ceo seems to be getting all of the things right. we still like the company longer term, although, we think that their rewards can be found in sectors more rewarding to the economy. they have done very well over the last several months. dennis: okay. tell us about your two new pics.
