liz: why not? >> we're dealing with a significant change in the structure of the financial system in the united states. right? for the last eight years, you know, since 2010 we were in a financial crisis is, and because we were in a financial crisis, the federal reserve, the government, formers, etc., everybody -- foreigners, etc., everybody was subsidizing the flow of funds. they were printing money like crazy, and they were driving the cost of that money to below the rate of inflation, negative real interest rates. the football crisis is over -- the financial crisis is over. they're not going to pump money anymore. their not going to keep interest rates below the cost of inflation. the net effect is -- liz: what about, i was only going to say what about companies in the financial space that should benefit from increased volatility or increased trading? the cme gets a commission on every volatility trade out there, doesn't it? or what about the charles schwabs of the world or the td aher trades wh

liz: yeah. didn't ask such a horrific question, she just said what would have to change if, of course, you had to move rates higher and started to say things look good, we'll watch the data. but what he's done now is he has proven whether jerome powell liked it or not that he can move the markets. will powell emerge as a more powerful voice compared to some of the former fedheads of the past like ben bernanke, alan greenspan or paul volcker who slayed stagflation, or will he just be, in essence, grabbing the baton from janet yellen? to the floor show, we've got john corpina at the new york stock exchange, larry shover from the floor of the cme, and john sylvia in washington d.c. what do you think, john? >> well, from my point of view what has changed since december was that january average hourly earnings number coming up at 2.9%. that was certainly a surprise by the fed followed by another consumer price index number that was greater than expected. so next friday we get a new average hourly ear

liz?re they're talking about this on the floor, the 10-year yield move ad tick higher to 2.79, 2.7 79 for the 10-year yield. that tends to speaking the market f you're over the big tech nails, although you shouldn't be because there is big after-the-bell earnings day, there is a slew stocks that could be big innovators and stock big gist of the future. steve, as we tee up, apple, amazon and google alphabet, give us these names you feel are the next sort of fangs of the future. >> well the whole idea here is that the tax bill went through last year. that is what drove the market up 20%. tough find something you think is innovator, something you think will take advantage what is going on in the next decade. one thing we all agree on, more an more data will be used used e next five or 10 years. think about what you did on your phone five years ago, versus what you do in your tablet today. data storage, data processing ultimate data security, ultimately if it is not secure you will not do it.

liz? liz: adam, i know that nancy pelosi has been clear that she will not vote for this in the house. what is the sense you're getting as to whether other democrats will follow, especially when they look across at the senate and see the chuck schumer the democrat from new york said this is a good deal and it is the appropriate deal for now. adam: on record they will tell you we want to be able to do a daca deal and vote on immigration. when you're not quoting them they will say we're probably going to vote yes for this cr, so this is what's happening in the house is pelosi is playing a game of luck to see if the republicans are going to blink. liz: i'm not kidding we're going commercial free here adam and it does seem as we're down 644 points right now that if it's not helping, it could be hurting we just don't into at this point but if they start any kind of vote if rand paul let us know and by the way we should let everybody know that once the senate if they do vote one this it goes back

liz: okay.cks were already up, but they are now jumping considerably higher at this hour with gains accelerating into the close. we're looking at the dow up 254 points, the nasdaq is up 74, s&p up 5. the dow just this second turned positive for the week. still looking, though, at a frontline toggling there when it comes to the exact level. the level to watch for the s&p is, hold on, i've got it, 2732. i didn't even have to put on my glasses. we're at 2737. could be a squeaker here, but the nasdaq is higher for the second week in a row. now, let's take a look at some of the biggest movers right now, hewlett-packard/enterprise. the enterprise company, hpe, is leading the s&p 500. you don't often see this, hitting lifetime highs after the company unveiled a $7 billion share buyback program. but it also raised its full-year profit forecast. so a little engineering on buying back shares. we know that sometimes moves stocks higher. it's not really, hey, we made a lot of money, they're upping their for

us so too ash and liz.rs to me that that was a wonderful pr stunt, 24 hours before he released tesla earnings which may not. >> it's true. if he had bad earnings it would be bad for him to criticize at this point. this is visionary, it's exciting, inspirational, very few things that all americans could get excited about, surely privatization over space program, the possibility we will go to mars, that we will go to the moon and take our teslas with us, what can be more wonderful? ashley: stunt to cover the earnings and that's why he was reliving his nightmare scenario because of the wheels bouncing down the road before earnings would have been more disaster. stuart: i should give him more credit than i do. >> elon musk owns 54% of spacex and controls the voting shares and owns tesla. keep in mind when he talks about companies. this is an awesome accomplishment. stuart: i think we agree on that. we will be down but not much, again, could things be calming down, find out in 4 and a half minute's time after th
