stuart: that i think is true in 10 or 20 years.e short-term, it is having a bigger impact than what we were initially inspecting best expecting. -- expecting. i think the consensus is that we should anticipate higher prices for some time to come. is threetimes means months, six months, when you're. -- one year. guy: how much of that is determined by what happens with mining stocks? doing,se companies are what you set out in the beginning, and how much is being determined by what happens from a macro top-down level, was happening in china and the trade story? i think it is both i think there is very little the mining companies can do to control those factors. one example would be the trade marketally look to the and the unintended consequences of sanctions against russo. they have completely abandoned those market. what can you do to try to protect yourself against the? -- it? you've got slower burn is like the chinese economy. you can make some provisions around there, that when israel biggest market, you are really managing around

we are joined by stuart.a rumor mill churning iny and was minister -- away westminster that the british believe we are getting close to a breakthrough to a backstop, despite what we are hearing. what would that mean in terms of a timeline. stewart: what we heard is that the government will not allow the bringing a vote on a deal to parliament next week. , we don't doe case prime minister may and officials are doing meetings with brussels this week, and the attorney general is set to give a speech this week. we expect to hear the language coming out that what has been proposed, but it was interesting that the government is not pulling out of the next week. vonnie: is there evolution on the so-called backstop from europe or ireland? stuart: that is not official. both sides are entrenched in their positions. we have heard from leo before coming on that from ireland's perspective, they are very much behind the backstop, and even if there is no agreement, they are not planning to introduce border controls. a tight

stuart: neil, it is yours, stuart, no one is blaming you for this selloff. stuart: you can, if you like. neil: i'm getting email, way to go cavuto, never-trumper, you getting downturn you wanted. i immediately shot back, varney started it. i had nothing to do with it. stop writing. it is embarrassing. thank you very much, my friend. you did it again. that larry kudlow chat you just had that lit up the markets. this is what lit them up. take a look. >> the president has indicated he is optimistic with respect to potential china trade deal but, but, but, we've got pretty sizable distance to go here. neil: that is like old miles and miles apart wilbur ross was saying couple weeks back. remember the commerce secretary telegraphing this would not come easy. add to that a separate report on cnbc, maybe the president and xi xinping will not meet after all. the schedules simply don't allow it. that at least got some people thinking, we're definitely not going to see a meeting before the march 1 deadline, which 25% tariffs on better than $200 billion worth of goods g

stuart: good news and bad news.rom an investment point of view, no one expects the price to collapse anytime soon and it is not clear yet how much supply they will have to take out of the market. between 50 and 70 million tons, we think. bhp was pretty firm on the fact they have maxed out capacity. they can't produce a lot more volume, but they will benefit from the price and everyone is pretty bullish on the iron ore price. francine: what does that mean for your investment strategy when it comes to minors? mike: we are not taking big overweight in miners at the moment. when we look at the commodity complex with the exception of the precious metals, is the global growth outlook. over the next couple of years, the risks to that global growth outlook are rising as we are in the late stage of the economic cycle. a lot of the commodity story over the last few years has been driven by the supply story. now when i look at commodities, i think more about demand than i think about supply, and i have some rising concerns tha

cory stuart came within one percentage point.ory stuart became the senate candidate in virginia last year. >> you're right. >> so there's still a considerable amount of acceptance of this racism. >> to not hide behind the statement, to hide behind a video where he's like i'm sorry, i'm a good person now, i'm sortry the pain i caused, is it stepping down coming on don's show and taking questions from all of us. they are noticing what the conversation is around this governor at this point, but there is northam sort of hiding at this point from the public, from the press in this crisis moment. also saying that he should still maintain power, right, without being -- without facing any questions. >> i've got to run. >> don, really fast. >> i can't, april, sorry. >> don. >> okay, go on. >> really fast. remember the governor of alabama who was very racist and he on his deathbed decided to say i'm sorry? well, he knew better that the time. yes, governor george wallace. so he knew better at the time. and when it came time for him to possi
