costco locations they have them all over the world is roundup going to be banned in the u.s. and around the world do we know well costco does have over seven hundred locations worldwide france spain over five hundred of those are in the united states i actually called a few costco's and that called the headquarters here in the u.s. where they confirmed that they will not be selling roundup now moms across america started the petition on change dot org went and got over eighty nine thousand signatures and they're also trying to inspire others like calling on costco lowe's and home depot to stop selling the product we'll see if they follow suit we appreciate you following this story were so good out last year we're glad you happen to be here for something else oh hang right there sarah and this week president trump has picked his replacement to be the next president of the world bank a senior treasury official david wall post the choice has been widely criticized by many center is still with us has been looking into the story. being the agreement so far this was such a weird thing i've noticed it but i couldn't believe it was still going on that the world bank president gets picked by the u.s. and the i.m.f. president i guess gets picked by europe i mean how's that

costco lowe's and home depot to stop selling the product we'll see if they follow costco we appreciate you following this story were so good out west you were glad you happen to be here for. you right there sara and this week president trump has picked his replacement to be the next president of the world bank a senior treasury official david wall post the choice has been widely criticized by many here is still with us has been looking into the story. being the agreement so far this was such a weird thing i've noted but it but i couldn't believe it was still going on that the world bank president gets picked by the u.s. and the i.m.f. president i guess gets picked by europe i mean how's that working out well bart the world bank was founded in one thousand nine hundred four the u.s. was the largest shareholder back then with thirty five percent so the original deal was that the united states would pick a president of the world bank let me just note that this year that percentage of stock from the you owned by the u.s. fell just shy of sixteen percent so the agreement i mean times are different now but the agreement did say the u.s. would pick the president for the world bank and the european countries would make their choice for the international monetary fund now i want to say the long term standing norm is is just that the u.s. still holds the number one spot in voting power followed by japan china germany france the u.k. and then india but the u.s. also has been a major donor all know not although not there are other dominant powers of put a lot of money into the world bank and this includes so the u.s. that was number one for one point five trillion dollars germany just over one trillion followed by the u.k. france canada and japan with five hundred eighty two million look i'm all in favor of u.s. power. pro-american and everything but i mean geez you would think that one given this isn't you know post world war two and even though we still contribute a lot that it might be time to reassess is that what people are saying well that's why they are trying a lot there are a lot of critics although also some supporters of trump's new pick because they said he's been he's not well suited for the job he's been very critical of the world bank which is something that a lot of critics are concerned about he's been critical especially with us china's coziness apparently the u.s. or the world bank has lent china over about two billion dollars annually now this makes a lot of people question why especially because china is the one of the two largest world's economies absolutely. the oka thank you so much sure appreciate you look at it. and turning to mexico president manuel lopez obrador on low has finally unveiled his plan to get state energy company p.b.x. back in the black the package of policy changes include infusions of cash and peanuts pension commitments new funds shifted from other accounts and reduction of p. maxes tax obligations when anticipated savings from those efforts to plug the leaks and p maxes pipes are added in the company will have over five billion more dollars in resources the mexican peso fell by half a percent in currency markets on the news and p. max bond prices fell about one percent p. max by the way has struggled to keep production up and currently carries more than one hundred billion dollars in debt. and speaking of oil while have we seen prices move here to discuss those currencies and futures expert at simpler trading rajeev jorge raji great to see you again i haven't seen you in a while. sags bart great to be back so i'm so excited because like all these stories that we've tried to cover it we've done a good job but i really wanted your take on a few things first before we get to those things do you have any comment on on law and the policies on energy so far it is new presidency there in mexico. his policy right now it's just been he's steadily campaigning he's got an approval rating of over eighty percent i think that the people of mexico are happy that he seems to be facing the issues like the corruption like the stolen gasoline so they'll support him but that pemex downgrade by fitch and he's going on the attack instead of just looking at what they could do to address the issues i think this could be the first domino to fall to maybe start to make his public approval a little bit more wobbly so we'll see how he handles this right now that's why i wanted to ask you clay knew you have a great answer thank you so much all right so we also need to talk about a huge another issue brant crude which is traded at ice futures europe in london just a while ago i mean hour and a half ago or is something recent twenty nine high above sixty five dollars last i looked at it was sixty five fifty per barrel i mean what do you make of it and does it have anything to do with those reduce production numbers from opec from earlier in the week that we expected figures and they were even below those anticipated. the saudis have been overachieving they were looking at just over ten to ten three million barrel production and that was the agreement to cut their production down to that level and they're somewhere around nine point eight a half million barrels per day even lower than the production of opec plus agreements that they had last month so that's helping but i think this has a lot to do also with what we're hearing from powell as of january fourth i think we're going to start to see a tick up in inflation i think we're seeing crude take up i think we're starting to see copper tick up so i'm actually looking. this is a very subtle macro shift in the u.s. it's going to make crude a whole lot more favorable to an uptrend raji what do you make of the whole venezuela circumstance. beyond the humanitarian crisis that's probably looming because the sanctions that we're looking at are much more iran like than probably even an initially perceived so fab one we found out that we're not only placing sanctions but there are tankers sitting offshore because p.d.s.a. wants payment first and their freight of not being paid and so we're seeing the u.s. comply apply a more iran like sanction they've asked india not to buy oil from venezuela we're seeing high compliance so what i'm going to see is just that that pressure on oil is going to basically right now probably bankrupt duros administration they want to where they want them to run out of cash and that's why i say it's a it's a humanitarian crisis in the making but it is really i think what the goal is to get. in into power meter out raji horner a simpler trading what a delight to have you back on the program thank you so much rajeev sure appreciate it have a great weekend. thank you my friend. and it's time now for a weekly market wrap up and we start as we like to do at the russia moscow exchange rather it rush at the mo x. and the hoax actually up as was the

costco as the new leader for customer satisfaction in internet retail. that's a surprise. ashley: it is a surprise. they have been number one since 2010. stuart: costcocutes better than amazon. and amazon is starting to let brand owners delete listings on the website for products that they deem to be fake. ashley: counterfeit products on amazon is a huge problem. a lot of these big brands have been getting more and more upset with amazon for not doing enough to counteract it. normally what happens is you complain, it goes to an outside monitor who then looks into it. amazon getting much more aggressive, taking the unusual step of allowing brands to eliminate what they believe are counterfeits selling on that platform. amazon says it's going to keep a very close eye on it because obviously you don't want these brands to eliminate legit businesses. what they do is say nike, they look at this site and go we're not sure this is legit, i think this is counterfeit, so they buy the product, then test it and see whether indeed it is their product. this is one way of attacking what is a huge problem of fake counterfeit products on amazon. stuart: they're tryi
