joining me is the author abigail tracy the welcome back. always good to see you.tive into how unprepared we are talking about, and how seriously is the president's legal team handling the investigation. >> one of the interesting things i've spoken with from lawyers who have worked on previous investigations have hammered home in a normal white house, what you would sigh is parallel investigation being run by the president's lawyers, have their own team of investigation who are speaking to po templeal witnesses, who are really sort of digging in to try to uncover and learn as much, if not more than what robert mueller and other prosecutors would be able to uncover in their tandem investigation. i think one of the key things about what we have seen from the trump legal team so far is in the words of one lawyer, they have a lot of agendas, but for the a lot of strategy. especially now a well over a year into the investigation, it's a little late to try to catch up or dig deeper into some of these different episodes that are currently under investigation. >> this is a

it over to abigail doolittle.kets, looking at the trade war, the impact of the trade war, possible investment opportunities that are emerging as a result of the tensions between the u.s. and china. when it turned from a war of words and to tariffs, there is a split. the dow on pace for its best quarter of the year, so investors think the trade war will not dent global growth, and haven bonds are lower. a look at the shanghai composite, chinese equities have done less well. the commodities complex has also suffered. china is the world's biggest consumer of natural resources, and some traders may think the trade war will dent that demand picture. here is a chart we have looked at before of the bloomberg commodity index. you can view this. it is a longer-term chart of the bloomberg commodity index. 2015, the big decline represents the oil crash and a slow recovery. that earlier this year on trade were tensions and dollar strength, you see the uptrend in blue started to break. long-term buyers losing confidence and se

let's get to abigail doolittle. we have a 2:00 p.m. decision. abigail: taking a look at new home sales for august and looking at a bit of a beat. atse home sales came in 629,000 new homes sold in the month of august versus the survey of 630,000. but the big number here is the revision for the month of july. revised down to 600-8000. that means the growth on a month over month basis is much stronger than expected, up 3.5%. this is a relatively strong reading especially for the home market which is been soft recently. thea lot of influence on major averages. looking at small gains, we still have small gains. investors on hold until that decision that vonnie was mentioning and if we take a look at the 10 year yields, we will see that the 10 year yield is down one basis point. that tells us that bonds are probably not -- just investors sitting on their hands into my decision comes out. the first down day for yield on the week. that is also consolidation, something we have seen more recently. we have a big move up in yields over all time periods show

let's bring in abigail tracy. editor and chief e, what are your thoughts? outpouring of emotion, and i'm also struck by who is in the room and not in the room. i can't remember a time in my lifetime when you had a national outpouring of grief and the president was not invited. that is one of the ceremonial roles of the president. she to be the mourner in chief, and president trump is not in a great position to do that. it is kind of a striking on trast between this moment -- contrast between the man leading the country and the unity. >> the celebration that so much of it still represents today. >> yes, the ceremony today, i think it is really sending a strong message about bipartisan, and celebrating a figure who is larger than life in politics. and what his legacy is going to be moving forward. and as i said, you look at the context, and it is certainly glaring from a leadership perspective. >> and in other news, the president, he made some off the record comments that he made about canada, what happened there? >> i don't want to speculate too much. i will

abigail, get us started.: it is quadruple witching day, as caroline was mentioning earlier, and it is thought to be a very volatile day. it is when futures and options expire at the same time. here is an intraday chart of the s&p 500, and while it may look a bit wild, this is actually an eight point range. i was speaking to someone earlier at interactive brokers, and he said what stands out the most is how orderly it is. if we hop into the bloomberg and use the average volume at time, in blue is the 20 day average volume. in aqua, that is the actual volume. the projected volume at the open difference at the the bottom -- 745% greater than the 24 day average. at the close, it is expected to be about 70% above the average. or might not be a lot of volatility, but certainly a lot of volume. look at thetaking a options market, and things are a little bit more subdued there. we saw the volatility in volume in the options market yesterday. today, when we look at it on the end of the week basis, this is one of the l

. >> so abigail, is that the sense that you're getting that the white house has somehow rallied behind the president very much against this anonymous writer? or are you getting a sense there's perhaps even more back stabbing, infighting taking place? people trying to assign that to other add ver sayers? >> this idea it could be anyone and the list of potential people is long and extensive. and while, you know, people have dismissed this notion there's a cabal of people, their positioning themselves with the mind-set of we're doing this for our country over a single president. i would dismiss the idea everybody's banding together because i feel this is a sentiment that is wide held across the administration. >> from your reporting, have you gotten a sense how much of these public appearances, these types of public expresses of solidarity with the president including nikki haley's op-ed in "the washington post," how much of that is driven by the white house, how much of that is that voluntarily coming from the officials going on the record with this position? >> you make an interesting p

of that ahead, first abigail doolittle is with us halfway into the trading day and we are getting a bounce>> what makes it stand out is the fact that premarket we had big declines on the futures and bonds were flat. now we have stocks rallying and bonds 50 points lower, selling off and pulling back. this is the best a for the three major averages since august 29 as investors worry less about trade and tariffs, they are simply buying for the tech space. vonnie mentioned how this is one of the top sectors, also helping the nasdaq. last week we saw some weakness with facebook and twitter appearing before congress and there were fears on the part of investors for the second time this year but there could be big tech regulation by the government but not so much today. and that is helping the nasdaq. if we take a look at the bloomberg, this is a one year chart of the nasdaq composite and we see a beautiful uptrend with some bumping this through the beginning of the year with choppy volatility that we had with trade and other uncertainties. ofre are periods consolidation, most recently last week

with our team, lisa, abigail, and romaine. lisa, get us started.hing you were talking about with argentina and the imf delaying a $3 billion promised nt of its loan. i want to take a step back. actually, argentinian bonds have really well this month. more than 3% return versus asically nothing compared to other similar debt. this is the hundred year bond, many managers. you can see prices rising steadily over the past few weeks. come down about 9.5% from 10%, earlier this week so people are going back and seeing value even if there is howl uncertainty about just strong the imf backed really is. >> i'm looking at an area of outperformance. overall the major average is down just slightly but take a philadelphia semiconductor index. up 1.25%. best two days for the stock since late august. course, this has a lot to do with -- finishing down more than 5%, now up 7.7%. this quarter is up 120%. quarter ever today by raising its price target to 70%. intel.ition around technically these shares are vulnerable, nevertheless helping out the sector. nvidia also

abigail: we are looking at small moves for the major averages, which has been consistent on this monday. the dow is down slightly, s&p 500 and nasdaq higher. not a lot of conviction on the part of investors. this is after last week's major declines for the averages. trade tariffs, technology, and e.m. weighing on markets. at this point in investors appear to be looking for new direction. not a lot of action happening at this point as investors are duking it out. we will see mainly green for the s&p 500 relative to its sectors. .0 of the 11 sectors higher the industrial is up 0.8%. health care is down 0.2%. supportingtor action the s&p 500. home depot, take a look at this, another 1.8%, hitting all-time high. kelsey advisory group bullish on home depot. we have hurricane florence bearing down on the u.s. that tends to help out home improvement stores. very interesting diversions we have been seeing all year. homes,look at pulte down. this is the story of the year, the story of the last year. depotte, shares of home trading higher. in blue, we have the home building etf. for much of late
