but again, there's pulte, there's toll and a little bit of good news in the building sector.liminary news nonetheless but we'll take it. liz, back to you. liz: all right. i will take it. thanks so much, cheryl casone. check it. dow is up 847 points right now. apple is part of this. look at it. it's up about 3% at the moment. it's on the rise. even as it sees opposing calls from jpmorgan and piper jaffery. jpmorgan is trimming its price target from 350 to 335. we are not even there yet. we are at 266 right now. jpmorgan says that's due to limited customer engagement during the pandemic, yet piper is upping its price target from 260 to 300 after the firm released its biannual team consumer survey. teams found the iphone and apple watch are the most popular smartphone and smart watches among the teens. let's bring in the most prominent analyst in the game, wedbush's dan ives who not only has a new apple note out today but also has begun seeing brand new trading of -- i want my own etf named after me. congratulations. >> thank you. thanks. super excited to be on and, yeah, look,

similar development too was in many criteria a little bit above our numbers with 3 percent in the pro pulte now we also heard from the health secretary hancock and he was talking about the u.k.'s response and obviously responding to criticism regarding the rollout of testing and the rollout of a p.p. personal protective equipment to front line stuff now the government have set themselves a number of targets they haven't reached those targets when it comes to testing but mr hancock says the government will increase testing not just for n.h.s. staff but across the board when it comes to frontline public sector workers now we've got the curve under control i want to be able to get back to the position that we can test everybody with symptoms and i'm being able to do that relatively soon because we're increasing as i can today expand the eligibility for testing to police fire service prisons staff local authority critical local authority. stuff the judiciary and d.w.p. staff we need and we're able to do that because of the scale of testing. about how saying the government will increase testing

of pulte said the first quarter is not reflective of the damage that we are seeing right now in thege. three million homeowners in forbearance, can't pay their mortgages right now because of coronavirus. it's a really bad scene. people are pulling their homes from the market. so inconvenieventory is down an 3.3% mortgage rate isn't going to save the housing market in the short term. so that's the synopsis. the housing market in april amid the coronavirus. stuart: okay. all right. here's what we have coming up for you today. the next 45 minutes. eli lilly smashing first quarter earnings thanks to prescriptions in the virus pandemic. the stock actually is up nearly 2%, nice gain. i've got the ceo of eli lilly straight ahead. >>> one state using drones to monitor and stop the spread of the virus, or so they say that's what it's for. we will tell you where this is happening later this hour. >>> president trump says he strongly disagrees with georgia governor brian kemp's decision to reopen some businesses quickly. we will tell you exactly what the president had to say. that's next. - [n

the numbers are right along with expectations one thing that was interesting in pulte's call is we'ret seeing the cancellations we might have expected and also the cancellations that we see in the existing market. the people who are out there signing contracts are serious buyers and the cancellation rate really hasn't popped up as much as we might have expected. so again, these are march numbers. they're people out shopping in march. we expect it to get a lot worse in april and may and, in fact, pending sales which were measured by myers research have pending which is more signed contract stuff down 33%. we're going to, again, see the numbers change this is not quite as bad as it could have been in march you know, look to the next month. back to you guys >> diana, thank you. as we look to the equity market which is showing another day of relative strength, energy at the top of the list in terms of sector performance right now industrials, health care, materials, communication services, discretionary technology all higher. the headline of the day was the jobless claims and another oh h
