♪ >> announcer: this is "nightly business report," with tyler mathisen and sue herera. rate hike reality. stocks fall sharply as investors adjust to the likelihood of higher rates. is it time for you to shift your investments and your stock market expectations? retail in focus. with the next couple of weeks will be a key for a sector that helps power the economy. what's old is new again. the comeback story of vinyl records. all that and more tonight on "nightly business report" for monday november 9th. good evening, everyone, and welcome. glad you could join us. reality bites. at least it did today in the stock market. there's a new realization among investors that the federal reserve is close, very close, as in december close to raising interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade.

and that weighed on stocks. but it wasn't the only thing. the organization for economic cooperation and development lowered its global growth forecast. so while things may be looking up for the u.s. economy, especially after last friday's jobs report, it comes at a time of weakening economic growth around the world. by the close today the dow jones industrial average dropped 179 points to 17,730. nasdaq fell 51. and the s&p 500 lost 20. as for the bond market, yields rose as prices fell. the ten-year u.s. note is now up more than a third of a percentage point in yield in less than a month. bob pisani shows us how the market is responding to this new reality. >> reporter: stocks experienced their weakest day in over a month. much of the decline was due to continuing fallout from the strong jobs report and the increasing likelihood that the fed will raise rates in december. interest rate-sensitive groups like reits and emerging markets and home builders were all down

about 2%. this rate hike thing is suddenly looking very real. fed chair janet yellen will make a major policy speech at the economic club in washington on december 2nd. that's just two days before the next jobs report. and many are expecting her to again lay the groundwork for a fed rate hike. the other reason stocks had a problem today is that we're coming off a si oweek rally that saw the major indices advance about 10%. so stocks are overbought and a little bit expensive. and the earnings expectations are not improving much. earnings remain down year over year for the s&p 500, and the fourth quarter looks negative as well. this would make four straight quarters of negative earnings growth. speak of earnings, department stores were all among the bigger decliners today. they report later this week and the earnings estimates have been coming down for them as well. for "nightly business report" i'm bob pisani at the new york stock exchange. >> as bob just mentioned, retail earnings will soon be released and they'll be scrutinized in part because the consumer is

such a powerful component of the economy. dominick chu shows us what to watch for in the coming days and weeks. >> reporter: it may not be the biggest sector in the stock market, but there's a reason why so many traders and investors pay such close attention to the ttnsumer discretionary stocks. some estimate that more than 2/3 ofhe u.s. economy is powered by consumer spending and a lot of that happens with retail-oriented companies. while that broader consumer discretionary sector is the best-performing one in the s&p 500 so far this year, within that sector retail stocks themselves have been lagging. >> the broader consumer discretionary category has actually been the best-performing sector. it is true that in recent weeks you've seen somewhat of a pullback there in a relative sense. some of it i think is valuation-oriented. again, the stocks did very well earlier in the year. >> there may also be some concern about how consumers and retailers will fare with the

r interest f hig rates in the coming months. still, with the economic picture showing some signs of life, some experts remain relatively bullish on the consumer spending picture. >> we see healthier wage growth. 2 1/2% came out in the labor report, which was the best annual growth race in wages in six years. and there's a direct corollary between wage growth and spending. and so the consequence to us means that retailers in the aggregate are going to be the beneficiary of that. >> reporter: this week we're going to get not only economic data on october retail sales but also earnings reports from retailers like macy's, kohl's, and nordstrom just to name a few. all of this is happening just weeks before things really ramp up for the holiday shopping season, the most important part of the year for these retailers. investors will be listening closely to what these companies have to say about any signs for the rest of the year. for "nightly business report" i'm dominick chu.

>> retail slowing global growth and higher expectations the fed will raise rates. the market may be undergoing some dramatic shifts. so should investors reconsider where they put their money and adjust their expectations? our guest now is david leibovitz. he's global market strategist at jpmorgan asset management. david, welcome. good to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> i assume that you were in the camp that what is going on here is kind of an expectation reset as we get adjusted to the idea of higher interest rates. what does that mean in practice for ordinary personal investors? >> so i think that that's exactly what this is. it is a reset of expectations. you know, six weeks, eight weeks ago you had investors that were not really thinking the fed was going to go at the end of the year but after last week's jobs report it's become a much higher probability that the fed does go for the end of the year. now, the key for retail investors is to understand that there tends to be follow vilt around the time of a fed rate hike and stay the course when there's volatility, inevitably rears its head around december.

>> when you say stay the course, in other words, if you're an investor who puts the -- averages into the market, puts the same amount in, don't change your strategy just because of this one event. >> exactly. historically when you look at the historical record there is volatility around that fed rate hike but in the subsequent months equities have moved higher and remember, the fed is hiking rates for all of the right reasons. they're hiking rates because the economy is much healthier. >> how about bonds? if i have a fairly sizable slug of my portfolio in bonds or bond funds, should i be concerned that as rates move up the value of that portfolio's going to go down? >> so the value of the portfolio may fall, but the fed has been adamant that they're going to be very slow in how they normalize interest rates. so the pain that bond investors feel may not be as severe as what they're expecting. if the fed were to raise rates very quickly, that could mean pain for fixed income investors. but given we're looking at a slow rise, i actually think the pain in the bond market may be relatively muted. >> is the economy as healthy in

your view as that jobs report seemed to indicate last week? because there are pockets of weakness out there. we've gotten some very mixed data. >> there is mixed data. but the negative data is really on the manufacturing side. the consumer still looks very healthy. vehicle sales are right around their all-time highs. when we look at what drives growth in the u.s., which is really the consumer, the combination of strong wage growth and robust consumption makes us relatively comfortable with where the u.s. economy is currently sitting. >> let's talk about whether you're comfortable with where stock prices are currently sitting. article in the "wall street journal" today pointed out the p/e ratio, price to earnings, is relatively high when you look at trailing earnings. are those es, those earnings going to be there to justify today's or tomorrow's higher prices? >> we think earnings growth will come back in 2016. right now we're dealing with some issues in the energy sector. we're dealing with the strength of the dollar. so it's been difficult over the past 12 months for earnings to get off the bottom. that being said we're looking

for about 10% earnings growth in 2016 and it's our expectation that growth will materialize, providing support for equity prices to push higher. >> how big a problem is the dollar, the strengthening dollar at, that going to be for some of these companies? >> in our view it's much more about the pace of appreciation than it is about the absolute level. and while we think the path of least resistance for the dollar is still up we're not sure we're going to see the 20% gains over six months that we saw earlier this year. we think dollar gains could be more muted which give businesses a chance to push back against that. >> david, thank you so much for being with us. david leibovitz with jpmorgan asset management. >> thanks for having me. >> you bet. to merger news now, weyerhaeuser is buying plum creek creating the largest timber, land, and forest products company in the u.s. the price tag, more than $8 billion. the company will manage more than 13 million acres, and according to the company the merger will save 100 million nasdaq costs every year. plum creek timber surged 17%. weyerhaeuser fell almost 3%. >> and canadian pacific railway is reportedly interested in

these machines are actually more than 40 years old, and in that time period not much has changed in terms of how they operate but it does mean that if one of them actually breaks down fixing it can beootime-consume and costly. it takes 25 to 40 seconds to make one record. >> the process begins with the raw vinyl being put in the machine behind me that you see in the hopper. and that raw vinyl is then heated somewhat like a big spaghetti maker. >> reporter: the vinyl is molded and pressed under 350 degrees and 100 tons of pressure. from there the record is then compression molded, cooled, and trimmed. next up spot testing for quality before being packaged. here's matt demarco's "salad days" being spun. ♪ so with vinyl back in vogue, only one question remains. will cassettes be next? >> you hear a lot about the cassette meback. and again, i think people aren't
