you look at the more pure play defense names, you mentioned northrop grummant, also raytheon, lockheed martinf you're looking for an area not exposed to china, it's names like this. we see china as a strategic competitor, a peer to peer threat you also have that two-year budget deal that just passed the president just signed into law. defense spending once again poised to increase this year and into next. and so if you're looking for areas where there's cash, where there's certainty in the coming years with revenue and order books, then you're looking at defense stocks >> that explains northrop in particular also, boeing is one of the most prominent names mentioned in the cross hairs when it's a china trade issue. what do you see playing out there today? >> boeing is down, really down at their lowest level in seven months but let's first look at the airline stocks all of them are down right now you look at the big international names, whether it's delta, united, american, that have exposure with routes to china, they're lower, not just because of what's going on with china specifically but co

we're seeing products being booked in invite tech names, but some of the defensive names, like a lockheed martin, but relative strength matrix we use that a lot and it lit up on tlt in december it's outperforming the broader s&p 500. i think you have to stick with this trade until you get something from the go ahead. i know we've been saying it for ten years, don't fight with the fed, but people are repositioning. we haven't seen volatility like this for quite some time. >> if you believe there's an operation turn on the horizon, you don't want to be in the ten-year right now, do you >> no, you do. we'll wait for mr. powell it come out i think he hayes to considering it in conjunction with another rate cut the market is demanding one more rate cut, if not two where do you think yields will go >> i think they'll test the 150s oz but i think we do see a couple people getting caught offsides look at the german bund. i think you'll see yields bounce off and work their way back up for 175. a lot of stocks underneath the market the yield is inseriously correlated. >> do you see a scenario where the yi

something like a lockheed martin , where they've been raising the dividend by 10% per year over the lastash return to shareholders. david: julia coronado and burns mckinney, thank you very much for being with us today. now let's didn't update on what is making headlines outside the business world with viviana hurtado. viviana: chinese officials still plan to come to washington next month for a face-to-face trade meeting. ont is a sign talks remain track despite an escalation in tariff threats. the u.s. delayed the imposition of some new duties. donald trump he thinks china wants to do something dramatic to end the stand up. in sweden, a verdict in the trial of an american rapper whose case to the attention of president trump. judges found him guilty of assault in a street brawl, but he will not serve any more jail time. he spent over a month behind bars before being free. president trump call the swedish prime minister and also sent a special envoy for hostage affairs to watch over the trial. sitting outmerican expensive vacations. you can blame debt and signs of the slowing economy. 42%

that is defense as in lockheed martin, general dynamics they are doing well.n is giving them a lot of money they have contracts around the world. they have contracts within the u.s. and the defense names are also defensive by the way so in the industrial sector we would be there technology, you are not -- cloud is not going away. enterprise is not going away internet is not going away so the more they sell off, the more attractive they become. >> that's a comprehensive response, quincy you covered the gamut there. >> that's that you wanted. >> yeah. david, ten-year coming off of one-five, 30-year coming off 198. do you think those are the lows for a while? >> no. i think it's perfectly normal for bond yields to bounce off the overbought levels much as the stock market has climbed off its oversold levels. >> this is purely technical. i believe that recession risks are high and rising and in a recession you typically get bond yields going down. the recession, it looks like, hasn't even started yet. as i said, those risks are rising all you really have to know is

space aero space and defense has held up well in comparison to the construction related names lockheed martinitting another 52-week high in today's trade. >> seema, thank you very much. nancy, within the industrials how do you play that sector right now? >> so we own some of those stocks, unfortunately. we own some of the stocks that outperformed like boeing and you could argue utx. we reduced the exposure to 3m. as a manager you have to have exposure to the names because you're -- you have to some sector exposure and it's been difficult. we sold out of emerson, not all that long ago. it's a long-term game and it is all about what you weight in the port polio i'm disappointed with fed-ex's performance. it is a stock we own, a company that's stumbled a few times an ena potential to be dominant u.p.s. has done better this year we own that in a different strategy fed-ex should be the leader in this environment and should be able to weather the storm. in a much more muted fashion it goes down more than the market and goes up less over the last - >> close to the 52-week low. >> terrible. >> one th

lockheed martin, raytheon, harris holding up right now. why are we seeing this defense stocks are defensive little to no exposure. strong cash flow big order backlogs that provide some longer term sales guidance and for many names, valuations look reasonable if not even cheap relative to the s&p now. the exceptions, contractors with other businesses that are exposed to trade, also the global economy, like united technologies, boeing, dealing with the own company specific issues as well, even general dynam dynamics, half the revenue coming from the it services is and business jets is seen as more cyclical. i think the trend here looking at defense more broadly, sara, is that the dollars are continuing to increase for now and the next several years that's a secular story not tied to economic growth. >> morgan, thank you >>> baidu and kohl's, two stocks part of cnbc's china trade index. both with exposure to china. baidu on pace for the worst day since may year to date down 35% kohl's down 27% year to date they get a lot of wholesale. they ha

behind that is that's one of your picks >> well, i think there is a lot of recurring revenue, lockheed martin is a company that has a near monopoly in fighter jets and duopoly if you look at the advantages one has to have in order to continue to win these contracts from defense departments the like lockheed, there is a recurring model we think is easy down the road that supports the dividend and the growth rate we have 15% earth zbroenings rate the f35 has had some problems to be sure. they only deliver one-sixth of the orders that will come through over the next 15 to 18 years. we think that's a nice growth driver to the stories. we continue to let the story lockheed provides. >> cisco is your last pick jason, we got to leave it there. >> coming up, when we return, a new warning from beijing to china. will the tactic to discredit the protest movement what is it going to mean we will debate that after the break, "squawk" returns right after this at comcast, we didn't build the nation's largest gig-speed network just to make businesses run faster. we built it to help them go beyond. because be
