turns on tuesday with the prime minister to resign may trump said he expects to carry out the terror threat against mexico and said republican senators would be foolish to try to block the tariffs the us president also followed up on his preacher comments urging britain to pursue a new no deal bragg's it and simply refuse to pay the so-called divorce speech of the european union on tuesday trying talked up the prospects of a u.s. u.k. trade deal which would presumably offset the economic harm from the no deal brags that he also recommended but trump also went on to say that everything will be on the table in u.s. u.k. trade talks including the national health service which provides health care free of charge to all britons earlier today former member of parliament george galloway addressed the threat to public services from u.s. u.k. trade talks. and so the trade deal negotiations will if they found out all found are on the idea as i mentioned to you yesterday that our vital

public services can be privatized and sold off to u.s. companies no one will ever accept that would become the front line of the next british general election and anybody advocating it would not win dialectician. so this is an interesting president trump seems to be honest behavior this that and this is quite a difference to his normal day behavior and we've seen this before you before he arrived he was indorsing boris johnson as the next prime minister he was urging a no deal bragg's and then right before he arrived he's attacking the mayor of london but then we've also on certain occasions seen him you know really make an effort to show hey i can be i can be civil i can i can go through this photo opportunity with the queen without embarrassing anybody or saying anything untoward so i think that's a little bit of what we're seeing today might also lead us to wonder if he actually wanted to leverage this in good faith and the u.s. . deal actually handle and offset all the economic repercussions that they've

suffered right it's hard to imagine he just is just off of seeming to tank the us some see a trade agreement with mexico with the terror of the rats and then tries to float the idea of a trade agreement with the u.k. with a threat to the n.h.s. which is extremely popular there you know not a good story and president like a lot of people i do have doubts whether or not to believe him when he intends to make a deal in good faith. they coined as they get in that time from the 30 day moving average at 7700 and has since fell a nice support level as this is the 3rd time we've retested this level the broader market is showing signs of buyer exhaustion as we see more red candle sticks where they want to deploy this technology so that people can use global quintessentially to send money into other parts of the world it's not

a facebook the original idea but it's certainly they have the platform to make it work and rocky facebook is already in talks apparently with the c o t c to launch this digital currency as early as 2020 now this looks like a bit of a gimmick to boost sales of facebook marketplace right this is supposed to integrate with their marketplace and make it easier for people to host and storage will currencies and make payments on the facebook platform they want to make the sale process obviously as purchased as possible so users won't even have to leave but you can go to pay pal if they want to purchase something isn't it concerning that facebook which has proven itself to be unworthy with personal data to say the least will now be storing your money banking information and spending habits. yeah exactly i think you know facebook's problems with data privacy and protection of their customer information has been very public with a lot of exposure on this i think facebook has had an opportunity to leave the

space to be ones that are out really championing privacy and customer protection but you know they haven't really taken the mantle and now with with the therefore a into cryptocurrency you know the underlying. incentive here is it's hard to. yes they will have a lot more information now additional information as well on your spending habits through the marketplace media and you know to add on to the whole what's app discussion yes what's have disconnect men. many millions of users and it could be seen as a benefit in terms of connecting a lot of unbanked people that have mobile phones all across the world that can send and receive now currency through their through the application so that is a benefit of you know that is a use case that will benefit the general ecosystem but i'd like to say the same with the said this whole for a coming you know facebook coming into this it does for the larger crypto ecosystem there is a benefit there's a lot more scrutiny there's

a lot more eyeballs on what's going on which i think overall is good for the industry but facebook's direct implementation and intentions i think it's yet to be seen the discussions with as far as we know are very very early stage. and then back to you we talked last time you were here about g.p.m. coin and how they are trying to broker international settlements between partner banks and we were a little bit warm on it and now there's also a competitor that's emerged finale in an international represented by some of the world's biggest banks on their barclays to moto u.b.s. and others announced the creation of us c. coin what do we know about that. so us sequin is essentially the same thing the g.p.m. coin is they're not exactly ripping it off they've been working on this project now for about 4 years essentially all these coins and again these are not cryptocurrency just to be clear so to the audience out there who doesn't really understand the difference there is a big difference between digital currencies and crypto currencies and these are not

crypto currency but in this case what the u.s. is essentially is going to do is it's going to allow for transactions through banking systems across borders that would be much faster and more efficient and have a lot more security to them than the current swift system right now which is a very long and cumbersome system and these coins j.p. i'm going to and you would see going both through the same thing which is allow you to make those transitions between banking institutions the digital currency. these are all utilities settlement quien so you're absolutely right. that all at this point. we've seen some institutional stepping into this game as we've just spoken about how has this changed the broader landscape. yeah the promise of institutions coming in was you know less volatility greater liquidity you know better tools and more regulatory scrutiny and the space you know prior to the i.c.l. boom. you know as institutions have been coming in i'd say that most of that has

come to fruition there certainly is a lot more regulatory scrutiny in the space clarity is coming you know day by day we have more information coming in from the f.c.c. from the c. of c. so that part of the promise it's fulfilling in terms of volumes i think between o.t.c. volumes and exchange volumes volumes are there and there are a lot of businesses now that are focusing on reducing the barriers of entry for institutions into the space by providing better infrastructure for them so it is it is coming to fruition and i think liquidity begets liquidity so we see this trend growing. analyst man's wan and rocky miller to see you both so much more time. thank you. time now for a quick break but i am here because when we return silicon valley has found itself in the crosshairs of just about everyone from congress to consumers and the in the

way you wake of the revived antitrust movement tech stocks tanked our chief correspondent banks and danielle she is simply trading log on to help us tackle tumble as we go to break what stocks have their 2nd best day of 2019 with the dow rallying 500 points or the numbers of the close. as the time come for google and other big tech companies there's a growing consensus the near monopoly status of many of these companies is bad for competition bad for the consumer and even for freedom of speech no doubt silicon

valley is blowing up.

oh. and a very warm welcome to you what an awesome. officer. to get up off the ground begin to. hurt them freeze on the

sounds of mighty grown man like wrestling essentially. wished it away from the officer. the obvious or did it kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then what happened on 3 swung at the observations didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gone and he bids on 3. south africa's economy has suffered its worst quarters since a global financial crisis of 2009 the government government announced tuesday that their g.d.p. had dropped by 3.2 percent in the 1st quarter of 2019 the news appears to be

concerning for president cyril cyril ramaphosa terms of economic growth and reform because most developed economy was hurt by widespread power shortages that ask on the state run power utility that generates most of the country's electricity due to the power issues 3 of the african countries biggest sectors took substantial dives south africa's crucial mining sector fell by 10.8 percent the manufacturing sector is down by 8.8 percent and agriculture dropped by whopping 13.2 percent president ramaphosa places faces an uphill climb as a country faces a face to recession at the end of 2018 and now has a jobless rate near 20 percent. after china announced on friday it would compile a list of unreliable foreign entities it wasted no time in opening probes into foreign companies it believed harm chinese businesses china opened up an investigation and fed ex for missed all of our packages and today announced it will audit $77.00 major pharmaceutical companies including the local arms of santa fe

eli lilly and bristol myers squibb this announcement came after a probe revealed at condé pharma a producer of traditional chinese medicine overstated its cash position by $4300000000.00 china is embarking on a major overhaul of its health care system to drive down the cost of generic drug prices so that more money can be spent on new medicines this probe will focus on bloated invoices kickbacks marketing advertising and affiliate fees to determine if firms deliberately increase production costs and rebate a part of their sales to medical institutions and staff. congress will now be taking a closer look at tech giants to ensure fairness in the industry amazon facebook google and apple have all come under scrutiny in recent years for dominating various markets and u.s. officials are now investigating if they having gauged in anti-competitive practices

a wave of antitrust probe headlines hit the tech industry and put the nasdaq at risk of a 10 percent her correction r.t. correspondent ashley banks joins us from our welcome ashleigh's so what is the nature of that the committee is investigating well this is the very 1st time that the house judiciary committee will be holding a series of hearings to determine whether there's enough competition among us tech giants now we're talking about tech giants like amazon facebook google and apple these are all going to be under investigation now these companies they faced scrutiny over the years for dominating many markets including social networking online advertising online research e-commerce and mobile apps including music now i want to read you a quote from the committee which says quote based on investigative reporting and oversight by international policy makers and enforcers there are concerns that these platforms have the incentive and ability to harm the competitive process so

basically look i'm ready it's trying to prevent the worst case scenario here. and so that's what the brief against the companies were the companies saying in response in their own defense yeah how are they responding danielle as of right now there's ample amazon facebook and google and they seem to be a bit silent on the issue but i do want to make a note in the past apple has defended its practices saying it only collects a commission if a good or service is sold through the i want to read you a quote from apple which says our users trust apple only and that is critical to how we operate. fair competitive store for developer app distribution so this time as you can see so far there hasn't been much response there and aside from the house judiciary committee has there been any other criticism from anywhere c else there has for sure now and recent years activists and politicians from both sides republicans and democrats they have put a lot of pressure on the federal government to do something about this now it took

a while for these efforts to reach the mainstream and we have 2020 presidential candidates coming out and speaking out about this issue earlier this year we got senator elizabeth warren she says these companies they need to be broken up in order to give other companies a fighting chance she says this is completely unfair if you want to start a business i want to start a business there is no way these companies would buy a sub before we even get started and then there is former vice president joe biden he agrees with more and then he adds quote antitrust laws are not in force at all and spirit or reality in this administration it's worth a looking at it and trump he even made mention of this saying that these companies are in trouble territory and are taking advantage of too many people so as you can see so many people are outspoken about this and you can definitely see the effect that has in the public market has not only for companies but they make up about 15 percent of the whole s.n.p. as a whole not to mention they're the leaders of the industry so you even if you take out that 50 percent other companies actually look to them for guidance and

leadership in the stock rallies makes a really big difference and even breaking them up seems to become more and more of a mainstream position they don't seem to be that seems to be doing well in the meantime so i was making more acquisitions every day. r t correspondent ashley banks thank you so much for your time. thing stocks took a big hit on monday following the news of those antitrust investigations in the talks on capitol hill on whether the biggest tech giants need to be broken up facebook amazon netflix and google's parent company alphabet lost nearly $130000000000.00 in market cap collectively on the news these stocks however did make a bit of a comeback before market close joining us now to break it all down is do you know shade director options out simply trading welcomed and you know good to have you back thank you for having me you know we know they rebounded late this afternoon but what do you make of this massive drop in market capitalization for some of the world's biggest companies. for me the move yesterday was absolutely

critical looking at the way that the market acted throughout my one saving grace throughout the downfall was the fact that the thing stocks really had not gotten hit so as the rest of the market continued to fall it said well you know we still have our market leaders that's why i have confidence in buying the dips but what happened yesterday to me seemed to come a little bit out of nowhere but the hit facing told me that the market's even more vulnerable than i previously thought. we all remember the big microsoft antitrust case in the late 1990 s. my in the 2 years from the point the government filed its antitrust hardest to the resolution of the case microsoft's stock actually doubled going from roughly $21.00 per share to $41.00 per share so while investors use this as a litmus test for the. so i think the microsoft case is very critical because

i think the 1st thing on everyone's mind when you hear facebook and google in antitrust is back to microsoft so when i look at the microsoft move back in 1990. 2000 and beyond a nationally yes microsoft rally but we have to remember that that was also when the rest of the internet stocks were rallying out of control as well but after that bust microsoft really traded relatively flat for almost 10 years due to all of the bad news in the uncertainty surrounding the antitrust case and so for that reason i feel like google and facebook are going to be flat and or volatile for quite some time. and. you know we talked about the thing stocks a lot as a group but breaking them out individually the different. concerns with each of them do you see any of them as being in more trouble compared to the others on

antitrust grounds. so on antitrust grounds along with technical grounds i see google as having the most issue because when you think about google i mean it's really so much a part of our culture at this point people google anything they need to know right and they take the 1st page as fact and at the end of the day google is controlling what you're seeing and they're also pushing the news out and so that has wide reaching. wide reaching issues there additionally google on a technical basis the stock has completely broken down the las quarter its gaps down after the earnings report and has not been able to recover and this additional news hit has just destroyed it. and apple which is sometimes seen as a 2nd a in the bank scenario was also named by the justice department as part of

a broader review of possible anti-competitive behavior yet they've only witness a small slide of one percent after market monday and that along with the unpopular announcements of the new macbook pro a new monitor which has a 1000 stand and the discontinuation of i ching. would make you think that they're struggling even more why is it that apple was able to avoid these big debts that other tech giants can't seem to avoid. so apple's a tricky one for me because i feel like apple has also experienced quite a big. but they also have the issue of china right now also apple has a pretty large segment of their business in china and that's going to be further impacted by the trade or what apple's trying to do right now is they're trying to increase their profits in a variety of segments into their service industries like microsoft. i'm not sure if that's going to be successful but i think that they need to shift more towards the

cloud shifting more towards services if they're going to increase the variety of profit profit groups that they're looking to have. some right now as he said with the breakdown of the market leaders that we've been riding on this entire year how can the entire stock industry recover are who are the new leaders are there any merging. so today i think it was a great sign the way particularly you did see netflix hold you saw facebook hold microsoft and adobe are 2 huge leaders that i would argue should be incorporated within fang so i feel like the way that those stocks in particular behaved today. was was very positive but we need to see continuation and we need to see a breakthrough of resistance. it seems like the i.p.o. market also dried up as well we had

a slew of i.p.o.'s on that could like earlier this year but now with the trade war and the bad macro climate it seems like the entire i.p.o. market has kind of dried up a little bit. the director of options at some by train thank you so much for your time. thank you. and finally jewelry loving option go as with a taste for historical kitsch may want to send the better to the philippines president rodrigo do charity who has bragged about his role in extrajudicial killings has also approved an auction of one 3rd of the notorious jewelry collection owned by imelda marcos wife of philippine dictator ferdinand marcos over the objections of the marcos family whom busters who were alive in the eighty's may remember ms marcos and her fabled shoe collection among other artifacts of her husband's massive corruption the marcos' have s. were estimated to have improperly enrich themselves by about $10000000000.00 but now filipinos it means can bid on the jewelry collection seized from the marcos's estimated at $19000000.00 ms marcos was convicted last year of stealing public
