simon hobbs will be back in a moment. let's look at how we're finishing on wall street. did close with a gain of about 47 points. off the highs of the day. still higher across the board. s&p 500 up a little over six, did not manage to close at a new record high. but we're not too far away from that. the nasdaq good for a gain of about 11.5 points. and our own john ford great to have him here. and for more on the market action is kenny polcari from o'neal securities. i guess we'll get to him in a moment. a second year in a row of gains. friday's gains feels like the path of resistance is higher. we didn't get a major catalyst in terms of earnings reports today is so it the -- so is it the story in -- >> i think the story is the bond markets and we have seen bond yields rise at the long end. meaning the 30 year quite considerably. today, you had in addition to bill gross you had warren buffett come out and leon cooperman. they all said guess what's a bad deal? bad deal is buying u.s. treasury especially the longer term u.s. treasuries that's a bet i made a year ago, been a

. >>> let's go to simon hobbs and the european close. >> the big out of europe, hypersensitivity they'reoping on the markets to what is happening with greece. the talks continue, markets in negative territory. let me show you what happened yesterday to highlight it. you had a big bounce as we got the news from the greek government maybe there was a structural deal. some markets rose 2% only to erode it today. the problem is the greeks weren't even on the ground in brussels, their plane had been delayed and sent over somewhere else in germany. you have to look at the headlines kamcarefully amid hypersensitivity. in dresden, germany, the g-7 finance ministers are meeting. the germans and the french have rounded on the dwreeks saying they should do more. the imf is maintaining a hard stance and the ecb has a stability report, warning about con dajen from other countries from greece. while markets are not overvalued, they could fall and that would hurt recovery. >>> the smerktor o smurkemicons higher in europe. >>> hollywood producer brian grazer talking about streaming, mobile and tv versus

. >>> let's bring in simon hobbs, see what europe did as they're about to close, simon?s a powerful rally in europe or in the eurozone if you look carefully. the european central bank has stamped its authority on the markets. and as a result, stocks and bonds have rallied and the yields have shot down. for the record, the uk is now into the period of deflation, consumer prices falling in april. for the first time in something like 55 years. puts the kibosh on the idea that the uk will be up there with the u.s. in raising interest rates. let's return to what is happening in the eurozone. the uk is not part of the eurozone. basically the guy that's in charge of market operations at the european central bank, benoit c omoeure gave a speech which suggested that they will front-load the purchases. they fear a lack of liquidity presumably in july and august and they'll pick up the tag in september. not by coincidence you get the head of the bank of france, christian noyer, a member of the ecb suggesting that the european central bank may extend qe in order to insure it hits it

let's bring in simon hobbs to count you down to the close in uk and across europe, simon. >> hey johnifficult for europe to make gains on the market at the moment. germany's doing okay, but overall, there was increasing concern about where we're going with greece, incidentally, both brian custer ls and anthoniens just denied -- brussels and athens just denied that a deal was coming through. one of the senior members over the weekend, yves mersch, they don't want anything to do with the program. therefore they can't demand money from that existing program. just let me show you how the timetable is for greece. there's an ecb meeting on wednesday that presumably they'll discuss collateral and probably do nothing. there is some talk that they might aim for settlement by the eve summit thursday, friday, but the word there from brusz is also -- brussels is don't expect anything. according to an internal document from the imf from last week that was leaked, they don't have the cash clearly to pay that, the last one as you'll be aware, they played borrowing peter to pay paul through the sdr.

meanwhile, let's bring in simon hobbs to count you down to the close in europe. and the u.k. n. >> biggest picture asing you, see, the euro zone ministers are meeting in brussels. we should get a clearer idea of what the greek associaters are. the german finance minister said it might be right for greek to seek a referendum on whatever measure ultimately they're able to strike, pensions, labor reform, and the deficits seem to be the major problem. tonight's statement, although it'll probably say there has been progress which is key, will probably be not enough according to city to unlock further issues courtesy of the ecb. offer them to lift that limit which would give the greek government more funds. obviously watching that carefully. meanwhile, air bus, france underperformed today. the industrial drawing down about 2%. one of the military aircraft that has been selling around the world, you probably saw this crash in spain over the weekend. germany and the uk have suggested that they will now suspend their own military transporter operations with that a-400m, obviously, we'r

. >> simon hobbs as we counten down to the close in the uk and across europe.g a little bounce back in germany. >> we're back up above the flat line for europe. it was really heavy losses earlier today. after two days of selling basically the opener we've had here on wall street seems to have calmed things down a bit. you've seen the selling of bait on the european bond market. so the prices are beginning to go slightly higher, the yields are falling back if you look at the euro, we've had a strong euro over the past month. you can see again just beginning to dip back this is important for european equity markets, because foreigners that are going into europe to buy equities on the basis that qew and they're cheap are shorting the euro in order to hedge the positions, if the euro is rising that causes dysfunction within some of the trades. but for the most, that's over. importantly, apt sns coming front and center again. today in greece the government spokesman said that the greece would not cross red lines on labor and pension reforms. but the game is not here

morning, carl quintanilla is off today, joining me is roger lee partner at battery ventures and simon hobbsre for the hour and with us as always is jon fortt. guys, good friday to all of you. let's kick it off with hp. shares are sharply higher today, after profit topped analysts' estimates. the company also saying it expects lower expenses when its pc and enterprise business is split into separate companies. that's not saying it's going to be cheap. earlier this morning. our david faber asked ceo meg whitman whether she regrets splitting the can and if she thinks other ceos should follow suit. here's her response. >> i say this is totally the right thing to do. you cannot believe, i can already feel the difference in the companies in terms of accountability, focus, cost, more focus on cost. you know, less of that insatiable desire to hire. it is really, you could almost see it change in the culture before your very eyes in a really positive way. so i'm excited about it. >> she's excited, roger, but it's time consuming, it's expensive. the $1.8 billion restructuring charge did spook investo

simon hobbs at post 9 wrapping up europe. >> it's difficult for europe to make gains at the moment.d by events clearly time running out for greece. we have an ecb meeting which i presume is under way. we need some judgment from them on lifeline support for the greek banks. in the meantime the german finance minister has given an interview to the "wall street journal" in which he's refusing to rule out the possibility of a greek default and moody's has said that actually freezing greek deposits at banks is highly likely scenario. of course tomorrow we have the meeting between the greek finance minister, the greek prime minister, angela merkel and francois hollande. in the meantime we could learn more about patrick drahi, a french moyer operating out of luxembourg, he's bid for part of the u.s. cable asset of southern link here in the united states. it's said according to david faber that he's approached time warner cable at further consolidating the industry in this country this is altice, the vehicle he's using, that he controls. that's the dutch quote. it's dutch and french. so the

. >>> let's bring in simon hobbs, for the close in the uk and across continental europe. >> i had hopedyou a picket picture of calm, but selling has erupted. selling has i-erupted on the bond market. earlier in the session today we were relatively calm but the selling has erupted on the long end in particular of the bond market. let me show you where we are in the 30-year in germany. it's the 30-year in particular that's selling off. you see the move on the 30-year is six basis points as you can see and that's the 10-year. what i wanted to show you was the 10-point rise on the 30-year, on the bund. an 11-point rise on the french, and an 11-point rise on the dutch as well. and that obviously has to do with a point being made earlier by jeff rosenberg from blackrock, the chief investment strategist, off inflation the success of the ecb and discounting the idea that the ecb would have to go further than the current qe we have on the cards, that seems to be the story coming later into the session in europe. stocks moving to the down side during the session, perhaps in response to what the e

as we watch the european markets just a few minutes into the close, simon hobbs has a rundown of what'sg. >> this is a significant day for europe. check out the details you see on your screen. we've got heavy selling of both bonds and stocks on the session today. it's a broad-based selloff across europe, but at the helm, the big decliners seem to be the insurers and banks sitting on so much of the sovereign debt in europe. let me show where we are on the bond markets. we'll have a look at germany, first of all. the most safe part of the eurozone, of course. there you see -- this is a weekly chart. the way in which yields have risen, 25 basis points, 30 basis points, in the course of just the last week. and if you have a look at spain or italy, obviously there the moves are even more dramatic. let's move this. thank you, guys. the there you can see this spike emerging. still you've got beaten down rates. given that the european central bank is buying 60 billion euros of assets, this is kind of moving. somebody is fighting the ecb or at least taking profits. the problem appears to be what

. >>> switching gears, let's bring in simon hobbs as we count down to the close in europe. >> what anrn-around for europe. currently up almost in germany up 2% and gaining as you can see. we were down at the beginning of the european session, we've moved substantially into positive territory. basically because the bond trade has turned around. bonds were down and they're gaining as a result of what what's happening with treasuries here. equities, trades we thought we had, the equity market is kind of caught up in the middle of what's happening with currencies and bonds at the market. let's have a look at where we are in spain. there you can see the way in which the 30-year has risen recently from just above 2%, 2.10, to the current almost 3%. big moves there. the yields actually down there. as is the 10-year at the moment. the euro, is central if you're in europe, worried about earnings, or buying because the euro is cheap, and that will boost earnings, bear in mind coming into today's session, the euro over the last five weeks or so was up 7%. we have eroded that today, again as the

. >> we join simon hobbs in europe where all eyes ostensibly on the uk. >> yes they were, until we gotis is powerful rally on the european market. that's partly because not only the jobs report which is quite disappointing when you talk about interest rate rideses, the treasures rallying and that's meant that the bonds have rallied in europe. you've basically turned round or you've reinforced the turn-round on the route we had earlier. yields are heading downed and you've seen the massive explosion on the equity markets. as kayla mentioned, it was all about the uk most certainly as david cameron, the uk prime minister on the conservative side got through with a slim majority to govern for a second term. despite the fact that everybody predicted it would be a hung parliament. it may be that uk rates rise more slowly because he said he'll be more aggressive on the 5% budget deficit with the uk runs, extraordinary. and at the same time, you have the whole question of when this guy will call a referendum on the uk being in the european union. meantime if you look at the individual moves on
