andndustrials which initially mbled on trade fears all bounced back on those comments and the semis were weighed down and carpillar's found w fairly modest at best. here's the bottom line, street is having a tough time with the outcome of the trade talks and if there is no tra deal, at least tariffs will not increase whileegotiationsontinue. we've been saying all week that a complete breakdown in trade lks with new tariffs in place for months would cause major problems for the markets and thatould easily drop the s&p into the $2600 range.rn out, ubs agrees with that and the report out yesterday ubs had a complete breakdown in trade talks could result in u.s. stocks dropping 12% to 15% and a that'sly the 2600 area with china stocks dropping even more dow 15% to 20%. for the most, the market is acting like the mostiky outcome might not be an all-out trade warnd it's the middle ground and no trade deal and no increase in tariffs if

negotiations continue and we'll see if that's the outcome. for "nightly business report," i'm bob pisani at the new york stock exchange. >> the chinese delegation is in washington for thept resn of those negotiations. the early word out of beijing is that they plan to play hard ball and president trump wasn't tipping his hand on the u.s.te st. kayla tausche reports. >> talks with china re-opened tonight after the dispute that the language had become public and vitriolic. president trum l isving his options open, praising chinese leadership, but scolding them for backing off their commitments. >> i have no idea what's going to happen. i did get last nighty a v beautiful letter from president xi, let's work together. let's see if we can get something done and they re-negotiated the deal. >> hiking tariffs on $200 billion in chinese goods from 10% to 25% effective at 12:01 a.m. and threatening the rest of china's imports, too.

>> it will be $325 billion at 25% and we're starting thatpa rwork today. >> trade isn't the only area the trump administration is rssping up pree, it denied china mobile license to do business in the u.s. and is a lookingt revoking licenses granted to chinese-owned carriers. the security of our next generation networks cannot be an afterthought. it has to be a top-level priority now. >> tensions simmer, this could be areakthrough or a breakup of the world's two biggest economic powers battling over trade. for "nightly business report," i'm kayla tausche in washington. >> so what happens to the markets iwe do g a trade deal with china and what happens if we don't? joining us to discuss this is art hogan, chief market strategist with national .ecurities. welcome back, a good to see you. >> thank you. good to see you. >> what are your expectations and what do you think the market reaction will be if, indeed, you are correct? >> i think the three scenarios,

e is the worst-case scenario is if we get nothing done and walk, aw and they escalate to the max on all $563illion, 25% and they retaliate with whatever they can throw atit, and i think the market really suvers in that case and the best case scenario is we have a beautiful deal. i think somewhere in the middle where we say conversations are continuing to be constructive and we'll wait twoeeks before we increase tariffs and hopefully tre are bumpsn the road this week and that's our best case and we hope that happens and any one of those three things can happen. >> you know, art, most of the viewers of thisre program long term investors. how should they view what's going on right now? t >> ink they should look at their plans and say i've got a good plan.n pla this is probably exactly what i should be doing, sticking to my plan. now, there is a case where you say this kind of volatility makes me nervous that keeps me up at night and i should stick

to the plan and 60% and stick to your plan and don't let news like this or any of the other things that become that sor of disaster of the week alter you from your long-term plan. >> if indd, they a uncomfortable with their exposure to equities, where would they recommend they reallocate? >> i think the most defensive thing right now in my mind is raising some cash, havi a higher allocation of cash. i only say that, sue, because i think a of the defensive areas that we run to like utilities and staples and things like that type companies are expensive and they're not throwing off very high yields andsa would rather you know, okay, i will spend until the end of this year with the 10% cash a that's as defensive as anything right now. >> we may be getting ahead ofnd ourselves let's make sure ce tariffs do go into place not only for thenese imports and china retaliates with some o their own. that's inflationary. how does the fed respond to that, do you think? t >>t's the wrong kind of

inflation and no economic benefit for those prices going up and those are fixed prices and not driven by supply and demand and the fed will have to take a step back and s how do we react with this and sometimes that leads to higher inpu cost and a lot of times what happens is it drags downmi eco activity. in both situations the fed's in a pickle becausey t like to stimulate economic activity and they might start staring down the barrel of hire than expected inflation and it gives people in the wrong kind of inflation. >> sure is. >> art, thank you very much. art hogan with nationalti secu. >> now we've been talking a lot this week about the various seors that could be adversely affected about the rise in tariffs and here is an unexpected industry feeling the heat. bicycle makers. elan mui is in south carolina for us tonight. >> rough 1,000 bikes a day roll off the assembly lines here as bicycle corporation of america.

billion and that translates to money out of your wallet. a bike that used to sell for $150 at wmart now goes on $170. >> we're an american company. we don't know how it would be perceived that china is paying for this. we're paying for it. the factory has also hit the brakes on plans to expand. campbeller wants the white house to know that's at least 70 new jobs heren south carolina that will simply vanish. >> we believe in american production. we believe in the american worker. we believe in thetechnology, but please be patient. st the threats and please work and negotiateh wina. >> at this factory, american jobs are riding on a deal. for "nightly business report," im i'm elan mui, south carolina >> the conce is that an all-out trade war could dent global demand for oil. today domestic crudeov settled

and tor issue these countries is that or any opec country, actually, is that opec's ability to drive pricing and drive supply and demand has diminished in recent oears becaus western technology gains so i view places like venezuela and iran as being increasingly irrelevant to stock markets and th stock markets nd to look through these types of geopolitical affairs except in the near-term impact on a valuation multiplt >> w about north korea? news that it has fired short-range missiles and this evening say that they inteco to inue to do that? certainly, china wld have a reaction to that and the u.s. has already made some statements on it. does that threaten to derail these talks, the trade talks at this point or no? >> that's a really interesting question. i believe that neither n china the u.s. want any more amplexity in these talks than

whateady exists and the advent of north korea acting up again, ihink is an unwanted complexity for both sides and i think if y a take step back, this is very much in keeping with north korean behavior. y we haven't had a missile launch in 500 days and this is straight out of the north korean playbook and to me it looks like north korean saber rattling and they're probably a little b upset that the talks a few months back didn't yield any results and the u.s. administration walked ay and this is i think them saying, hey, remember us? we're still out there, but i'd ke to think that the u.s. and china are focused on the trade deal right now because i thi that's of utmost importance to both country's economies. >> and we will see what happens tonight and over the weekend. chris constantinos, thanks for joining us tonight. >> my pleasure. >> some new reports tonight on the u.s.ta economy. we with inflation which the fed has been focused on, of course. producer prices rose modestly in
