6:01 am
way. that's coming up in your full forecast. first let's get to you work on time with mike. >> folks got home from work late last night if you took the b.a.r.t. system. trains are running on schedule, 42 last i checked and continuing to grow. we'll get you the look of the bay bridge. we're looking at the low clouds playing a factor now. fog will be an issue in the north bay. so far no major delays across the water. use caution on our bridges and over the east bay hills. >> we give it to you straight. world markets entering bear territory last night. and now here we are less than a half hour from wall street's opening.

6:02 am
farther but perhaps it could today give some sort of hint that there will be a long time till it does raise rates. that might goose the markets. a purist would say the stock market is not the fed's mandate. these days it's hard to find a purist. for the world markets you mentioned germany, england, france, all lower. asia same thing. hang seng, the nikkei, all lower. the big question is are they responding to our losses yesterday or predicting what will happen today. it's hard to say. as for local stocks the ones that got hit the hardest are some of the newest. marla tellez is live in san jose to talk about some of the recent ipos. >> good morning. we're talking ipos, companies thinking about with it. the s&p downgrade has really taken a toll on recent ipos,
6:03 am
notably linked in, zillow and pandora. yesterday the professional social network linked in dropped 17%, internet company pandora tumbled 8% and zillow dipped 7%. of course not good news for those companies and investors. now companies such as zynga and groupon which filed to go public they have something to think about and companies like facebook and yelp waiting in the wings. a tech analyst i spoke to, now is not the ideal time for them to go public. folks who i've stopped say it's a scary situation but they are going to ride it out. >> i'm in med device. watching all of the health care stocks that i track it was disheartening to watch it go down, but honestly, for me, it's something that i'm not as concerned about right now.
6:04 am
i'm in it for the long haul. >> if people would just hold on and rely on their own intuition, and knowing that things will go well, things will end up going a lot better than jumping. >> reporter: so, what about the long haul that analyst i spoke to said it's going to take at least a quarter or probably longer for investors to regain confidence in the market. he says the one company that may be able to overcome thisser tire wave is facebook. even if facebook were to go public today he says with all of the type that surrounds it, he thinks it's a place investors would go to regain some of their losses. >> marla, thank you of it it appears nobody is safe out there. we have a lot more coming up. we'll bring you the opening bell live and show you what happens once the trading begins again. we'll look at why ratings

heckling the mayor as he was trying to file his papers. at the forum last night there were cheers, boos and heckling from the crowd gathered at the castro theater. not much love from fellow candidates. david chew questioned the ethics of the unofficial ed run ed campaign set up by lee supporters, state senator leland ye called for lee to resign as interim mayor for going back on his word. >> it seems to me, seems to me that had the mayor said that he would in fact run, that he may not have got at any votes to become the interim mayor. now that the promise is broken i want to ask the mayor as to whether or not he would resign from this post and then run as just any other individual. >> reporter: the call for lee to resign began as he started to

>> scott is here to talk business and tech. one of the strange byproducts of this downturn is credit is cheaper. >> that makes my head hurt. the thing is when the dow falls 600 plus points, money comes out of stocks the money has to go somewhere. it's going into treasuries. bonds and t-bills that creates odd side effects. for instance, generally speaking, home mortgages are tied to treasuries and the bigger the demand for treasuries, the smaller the yield. that pulls mortgage rates down. the hoest level, in fact, of the year yesterday. it's ironic at a time when all the talk is about credit, credit is pretty darn cheap. credit card rates could come down, same reason. though those move less quickly. so what happens to banking stocks when they charge less for mortgages and credit cards, they plunge. wells fargo was down 9% in

>> reporter: good morning, scott. if you put your money in one of those companies that recently went public, perhaps you have buyer's remorse. but when speaking to a tech analyst we all need to remember what goes down must come up. the recent ipos getting hit hard, linkedin dropped 17%, pandora, the popular internet radio company dipped 8% and zillow, the real estate website fell 7%. companies like zinga and groupon they are now worried. at facebook and yelp talk of an ipo an analyst tell me it's not the right time but this may be an exception. >> unless you are an incredibly: powerful company like, say, a facebook, probably want to put off your ipo until the investor

6:36 am
involved. >> kids, it's amazing. probably the person that shot him was a kid most likely. hopefully it wail wear on him where he will turn himself in. >> mr. turner also left a teddy bear in the spot where the boy was shot. everyone in the neighborhood talking about this. this is the 67th homicide this year and that's up from last year. the command post we're told will be here all week. i wanted to mention this evening that the mayor's office and some faith-based groups in east oakland are going to hold a vigil tonight at 7:00 p.m. at 64th and international. >> it hurts your heart. >> it really is. let's turn to better news. 6:36. if you like cooler temperatures for august, checking in with meteorologist christina loren. >> you know, there's a few in every crowd who want the hot
6:37 am
weather. we had some really nice unseasonably cool weather that's going to continue today, tomorrow warmer toward the weekend. on shore flow is the reason it's so mild. we've seen system after system kind of spinning to our north. so for us another round of fog, heavy low cloud cover as we head throughout morning hours. that will make a for a comfortable afternoon, in the upper 70s to the low 80s inland. another positive outlook is the air consult. typically in august we see quite a few unhealthy air quality days. we haven't seen any. that's forecasted all throughout the weekend. we're watching for reduced visibility especially in the north bay down to a half mile in santa rosa. 2 1/2 in novato. and dense patches out there. just because walk out the door and you don't see the fog doesn't mean you're not going to encounter it. you want to travel cautiously.
6:38 am
we're about 5 degrees cooler. 68 degrees and round out the day in the upper 70s. low 80s. i've got the seven-day coming up. >> a lot more crowded for 580 through the tri-valley. 22 minutes. the better news though more are on the road, less debris and the potential of what sunds like a fender-bender cleared. that's great news. still we see that showing through the part of livermore. slowing throughant wok, southbound 4, 10 miles per hour at our l street sensor. below 50 in spots through pittsburgh and baypoint. we'll end with a live shot at the golden gate bridge. the fog will affect your drive and also across the bridge you can't even see the south tower as you come into the city. >> not at all. thanks for the update there.

6:42 am
>> the time is 6:41. standard & poor's downgrading sparked yesterday's drop-off in the market. now moody's says it could also lower the u.s. credit rate. the question is who exactly is behind these agencies and why, why do they have so much influence? tracie potts is live in washington to tell us who. >> hey, jon, good morning. there are three of these ratings agency, moody's, fitch and standard and poor. it's s and p that decided. how do they make that, five analysts in a room behind closed doors for at least a month, 6 weeks we're told, off and on meeting, going through the numbers. they look at things like how much wealth is in our country versus debt. are we on budget, of course that's been a big issue in recent weeks. they look at growth rates, and, this was the big one, they lincoln at politics.
6:43 am
when s and p looked at the politics and the gridlock it wasn't just an issue with how much debt we're carrying, but it's the fact that we've got so much gridlock, washington's unable to come up with an effective plan to deal with it that's big enough to deal with the problem, and that's why they decided on the downgrade. what does it mean to you? when our credit is downgraded it's harder for our country to get good interest rates, to borrow money to pay off our debts. it could be harder for you to get good interest rates as well. if you buy a car or home or sending your kids to college. one thing you want to keep an eye on, the fed is meeting, the federal reserve is meeting today. they are going to take a look at this. they could decide to emphasize that they are going to keep interest rates low and that might help the situation some. >> tracie potts from washington, thank you. >> 6:43. coming up dirty politics seems to be taking over san francisco and the mayoral race. we'll have a live report coming

6:47 am
apart on may 22. the school just releasing the video as part of a fund-raiser to help rebuild. the storm destroyed 10 buildings at the school and it killed 30 people in joplin. classes are set to start next week but students have to go to a mall until the school can be rebuilt. wow. >> 6:47 now. not our case but a lot of fog. >> we did have our share of extreme weather this year, so finally mother nature giving us a break. we're seeing a really mild august. and this morning something we're noticing in the south bay, not as cloudy to start you out. but definitely a lot more fog hugging the coast. we didn't see that marine layer push that far inland. that's the biggest difference between yesterday morning and today. you're a little cooler in san jose, about 3 degrees cooler than this time yesterday. same for the east bay cities. let's talk about what's happening in trps of visibility

6:49 am
