. >> and i'm wilfred frost. that was a tough date to read just there. >> we both always struggle with the dates. should have that preprogrammed. either way, a very good morning to everyone if you're just getting up. oil prices and fed speak in focus this morning. we'll bring you up to speed on both in a minute. >> plus, we'll be talking politics. here are the projected results from last night's gop caucuses in nevada. donald trump taking the top spot by a pretty big margin, followed by marco rubio number two and ted cruz number three. more from the campaign trail later in the half hour. looking ahead to super tuesday with clearly trump gaining momentum. three states he's won in a row. >> absolutely right. he's got the momentum behind him. can marco rubio be the one to stop him? doesn't look like it at the moment. first, a check on u.s. equity futures at this hour. we are pointing to a negative open. yesterday, all three of the main boards down 1%. u.s. equities really dancing to oil's tune with the main orchestr

we'll see if the gains hold, wilfred.ast week, we did manage to break that tight correlation a little bit. especially on friday where oil took a pretty sharp slide and stocks remained resilient. >> today seems globally a risk-on day. you've got equities up globally in the likes of the yen which have beened safe havens, that's down. generally speaking people are pretty positive. >> the other big story, lots of debate about the brexit. ahead of that, london's boris johnson said he'll campaign for britain to leave the european union making him the most high profile supporter of that brexit. almost half of the bosses of the ftse 100 back cameron's stay. jeff guttman joins us live from london. jeff, great to have you with us. fascinating coverage on the london debate. we've got say date, june 23rd. what are the headlines out over the weekend? >> i think the interesting thing this morning, wilfred, is the way the pound has responded to the fact that boris johnson, a london mayor, has thrown his hat into the ring with those who

i'm wilfred frost joined today by kayla. in for sara. it might mean we can get through a whole show without mentioning steph curry or the yen, which is a welcome relief. >> so i won't mention the yen when we talk about the asia markets. >> no, we can. we always have to mention it. maybe not every 17th word. a very warm welcome to "wex" to you, kayla. let's get to the u.s. equity futures. a nice positive open to the tune of about 130 points to the dow. 137 points now, as you can see. the s&p called to open higher by about 20 points. the nasdaq by 50. the s&p and the dow both going into positive territory for the week and for the month as well. >> we've been able to see the u.s. equity futures rallying throughout the morning because of what's happening in the global markets this morning. let's look at where we are across the world right now. in europe after the open, a sharp rally out the gates. germany up by 2.5%. france up by 2.3%. the ftse 100 is holding up about 1.5% into positive territory. we have ireland elections today. we have eur

>> reporter: hey, wilfred. good morning. movement in the stalemate between congress and the white house on whether they'll even question a nominee from president obama. now we're confirming that the head of the committee that would do that questioning is going to sit down with the president and talk about it. >> in short, there will not be action taken. >> reporter: but now the white house and senate confirm that chuck grassley, the republican head of the judiciary committee that holds supreme court confirmation hearings, will meet with president obama next week. nbc news has also confirmed the white house is vetting a republican, nevada governor and former federal judge brian sandoval, to replace justice scalia. >> i think it will be very difficult for mr. mcconnell to explain how if the public concludes this person is well qualified that the senate should stand in the way simply for political reasons. >> this is a way for democrats in the white house to extract maximum pain on republicans. >> reporter: democrats have a pet

i'm sara eisen. >> and i'm wilfred frost.ongratulations. >> glad to have you back. >> good to be back, indeed. congratulations to the denver broncos this morning, peyton manning and team beating the carolina panthers 24-10 to win super bowl 50. denver's odefense was outstanding. >> the rose, what everybody cares about the lady gaga, singing the national anthem. that was incredible. all of those, halftime. peyton manning giving an endorsement. the highlights that everybody is fussing about in just a bit. >>> first, let's get to markets, the business side of the morning. it's the year of the monkey, many markets in asia are closed today to celebrate including hong kong, mainland china, singapore, taiwan and south korea. there's still big market news out of china, reporting a 100 point drop to the lowest in four years. the market is fuelling charter about the yuan speculation. we're pointing out that, however, this is slightly less than expected. so in absolute terms, four-year lows but not as bad as what we saw in december in t

>> reporter: hi, wilfred. we're expecting first of all hillary clinton hoping to become the comeback kid again here like she did eight years ago. also, we're expecting to learn with which of these four, possibly five, republican candidates could come in second to donald trump if, in fact, the polls are correct and he's got a huge lead here. we've already seen some of the early results. three small towns voted just after midnight. kasich and sanders won tiny dicksville notch. cruz and trump, sanders and clinton tied the others. >> lines out the door. >> reporter: candidates continue their final arguments today. >> it's christmas eve for politicians in new hampshire. and you all get to play santa claus. >> this is now crunch time. >> reporter: donald trump on the competition. >> they're politicians. all talk, no action. they're good at one thing, getting re-elected. >> reporter: trump has a huge lead here, but the number two spot seems up for grabs. polls show cruz, rubio, even kasich or bush have a shot at it.

. >> and i'm wilfred frost. a lot of corporate news this morning. first, let's get a check of the bigger market picture. u.s. equities closed out of correction territory yesterday. a good rally we've seen over the last ten days or two weeks. sparked, perhaps, some say, when jamie dimon stepped in and bought some shares. the dow called to open down by about 110 points. the nasdaq by 34. let's have a look at european trade, where we are seeing some red there as well across the board. the ftse 100 is in the red today. it's down 0.7%, led lower by standard chartered, which reported a full-year loss for the first time since 1989. asia also showing some red today. nothing too pronounced. 0.8% declined for shanghai. >> there are still concerns lingering about china, about the state of global growth, about the state of earnings, which hasn't been all too bright. we'll see what the guidance looks like on the consumer names. in other words, the fundamental problems that have been with us since the beginning of year are not completely solved, even though senti

. >> and i'm wilfred frost. our stop story, markets under pressure. they're taking a lead from what's happening around the world and that is declines. the dow caught to open at 100 points low. 94 to be exact. s&p by 10 points. >> lots of red overnight. china devalued its currency for a fifth day in a row. a lot of folks pointing to that, the shanghai composite down 2.8% in shenzhen. and another index over there, even stronger down 5%. hang seng in hong kong down 1.3%. and nikkei down a percent. let's show you what's happened in europe, beginning the trading week on a lower note, with the dax in germany down more than 1%. it's sort of a risk opt day. buying the yen and selling stocks around the world. >> let's dive into the asian market. sri jegarajah joins us from singapore. >> good to see you. the chinese markets once again in the cross hairs of the selling pressure. shanghai composite. a couple of factors pressuring stocks. nothing concrete drawing a line under the global economic slowdown from the g of the 20 in shanghai. we continue to see depreci

. >> and i'm wilfred frost. very interesting song choice. >> they get better and better. >> global stocks on a wild ride, as the music is. the dow traveling more than 1,000 points yesterday during a very choppy session, despite a relatively tame trading range of 256 points. as for the picture this morning, u.s. equity futures right now pointing to a positive open. quite a significant one to the tune of 130 points for the dow. the s&p called up by 18 points. the nasdaq by 53. >> we'll see if it holds. the other big story this morning, politics. decisive wins for donald trump and bernie sanders in the new hampshire primary. the main theme, voters backing the anti-establishment candidates. on the gop side, trump got 35% of the vote followed by a strong number two, john kasich, ted cruz, governor jeb bush, and then in fifth place, marco rubio. >> all of the sudden we started getting numbers in. everyone said, how come they like trump so much? i have so many friends up here. they are special, special people. so new h

let's get straight out to wilfred. why is it so important this time around? >> louisa, very important indeed, as you correctly pointed out because they've been under so much pressure recently. the shares have lost about two-thirds of the value over the last year and down about 38% just year to date. so a lot of pressure, of course. lots of changes. they reported 11% growth in active monthly users, that key metric the share price really reacts to. so it is still growing, but the trend rate of that growth has been very steadily declining over the last two or three years. that's the main number people will be looking at. will it be able to turn the corner from 11% and start ticking up again, or will it be a bigger fall? now, other areas we want to get some guidance on, they've launched the one-off effort moments which showcases twitter's best tweets and content. that failed to take off as expected. so an update from jack dorr -- dorsey on that. now, just to sum up, look at facebook and how big it responded to its own earnings a few weeks ago. apple as well. thes

i'm sara eisen. >> i'm dominic chu sitting in for wilfred frost. another busy morning in the global markets. we have it all covered for you. >> we start with breaking news from the european central bank. mario draghi has been speaking at the german central bank in frankfurt. among the headlines here, draghi say, quote, there's no reason for central banks to resign their mandates simply because everyone is being affected by global inflation. central bank speak for the risk of acting too late on ultra low inflation is greater than that of acting too early. draghi suggesting a wait-and-see stance could lead to a lasting loss of confidence. seems like he's making a political argument here for moving further, something he's already hinted at doing in the march meeting in terms of easing to fight slow or no inflation. >> he's mr. whatever it takes. this guy will say whatever he needs to. he's a big talker for sure. staying on the europe theme, check out shares of credit suisse. the stock is dropping to a more than two-decade low. they're down 13%. the sw

i'm sara eisen along with dom chu sitting in for wilfred frost today. good to be here. >> among the storyings front and center for us right now, venezuela's oil minister is in tehran today meeting with officials from iran and iraq. crude oil prices giving back gains on reports that iran will not join a deal between saudi arabia, russia, and other producers to freeze output at january levels, but they have since turned around and are now marching higher. iran's opec envoy is calling a freeze, quote, illogical. we'll see if they can come to any agreement on this. what you're looking at is a 2% plus gain in wti, 3% on the brent crude. that's the international measure of oil prices. we'll see as these negotiations continue. potentially at least there are negotiations. and that marks a symbolic step towards some sort of agreement that oil prices are too low, too painful, down 70%. they've got to do something about it. >> oil has been very range bound, for sure, these days. >> and today stocks are following suit. yesterday is what art cashen called a trial se

. >> and i'm dominic chu sitting in for wilfred frost. he'll be back on monday. lot of news this morning and some big stock moves as well. we'll have your round up of the names you'll want to know in a minute. >> first, the big market story of the day. that would be january's employment report. it's out today at 8:30 a.m. eastern. forecasters say the economy likely added 185,000 jobs last month during january. that's a big drop from what we saw in december, 292,000 jobs added that month. the unemployment rate is seen holding steady at 5%. of course, we'll bring it to you live on cnbc. in the meantime ahead of that report at 8:30, u.s. equity futures are holding steady. it's been a calm session overnight after a mixed session in asia. dow jones futures up 30. s&p futures up 2.9. it's really little action ahead of jobs. this after a lumpy rally that led industrials and materials on the back of strong commodities and again a weaker dollar, heading for its worst week since 2009. >> not surprising to see markets a little stable ahead of what could be a big market-movi

joining us now for more, wilfred frost joining us from cnbc headquarters.ite the fbi's suggestions that this is a one-off special permission, tim cook is not backing down here. >> absolutely right, nancy. that cancer quote you just mentioned getting a lot of headlines in the press this morning. the other one, this is not about one phone, this is about the future. exactly right as you just said, echoing that sentiment it's not just a single issue. it would change the relations that the government has with tech going forward. so once again, a defiant tone from the apple ceo on a dispute is that's really divided opinion here in the u.s. i suppose until a couple days ago, at least the tech world was united behind apple and tim cook. of course, bill gates came out on tuesday to back the fbi. but he did say this is only a backing in terms of one particular phone. something that tim cook says is not possible. i will say this interview, if you watch it in full, he made a compelling case, tim cook. it might help him win over a few more people in this divided dispute

. >> i'm dominic chu sitting in for wilfred frost. he'll be back on monday. a holiday shortened week of trading here in the u.s., but no shortage of big news and buzz. we'll talk about apple challenging federal authorities and hear why company co-founder steve wozniak believes steve jobs would have done the same thing. that's just one minute here. >> that cnbc interview getting a ton of buzz. first, let's get you up to speed on the market action this early friday morning. holiday shortened trading week, but we're looking at the best week for stocks since back in november. the best week of the year by far. the gains could continue after a selloff late yesterday. the dow jones futures up 38. s&p futures up five. nasdaq futures up 12. let's show you what's happening with oil prices, which have been a driver. maybe not to the extend that tight correlation we saw earlier in the year. >> it was trying to break down. then it went right back to trading with the markets all over again. >> correct. so let's look at the one-week chart for stocks. there's oil right now d

i'm sara eisen along with mike santoli sitting in for wilfred this morning.f the year at the grammys last night. we're playing all the winners on today's show. this is the winner for me. >> i have a daughter who would agree with you. she was worried she wasn't going to win. it helps out for me she did. >> and how about that opening performance? you didn't watch it. >> no, i did not. we were on the road. >> today's top story, oil and the global market. top officials from saudi arabia, russia, and several key opec producers meeting in doha today. this is the highest level discussion we have seen in months. the agreement on the output cut is helping oil prices, but we have to tell you they were higher even before that agreement came out, on speculation perhaps we would see something more, like an output cut. wti crude in this country trading just below $30 a bar real. >> the standard line has been if oil could just stabilize, maybe that would be okay. we're up about 10% from it the lows of last week on both brent and wti. we can check on stocks this morning. glo
