This friday right now. Good morning, im dominic chu in for Brian Sullivan it is friday, december 13, 2019. Happy friday the 13th. After a record breaking day on wall street. The dow closing off the highs after hitting the 16th interday high, the s p coming off the second high record close it would go up another 11 points if if holds. Dow would go up by 112 and the nasdaq by 35 we are seeing some signs of life the 10year note yield just below 1. 89 . Twoyear yields 1. 64 . Around the world, asia following that lead on trade it was green across the board. The any kay up 2. 5 . Hang seng similar. Shanghai up nearly 2 and kospi up 1. 5 as well. In europe, it is green there as well stocks are surging on the heels of trade developments, what is happening with the uk. The german dax up, cac similar the ftse 1001. 5 up as well. The british pound spiking to the highest level since 2018 you can see here that spike higher in those particular currencies up 2 , 1. 3409 is what it will cost you to buy the british pound. The chinese yuan those reports of a phase one dr trade deal you can see that move. Take a look at what is happening with oil prices. We are seeing a move there as well on the upside on the heels of that optimism over trade wti crude up 1 here you can see 59. 70. That move higher on the reports of a phase one trade deal. Lets talk about what is happening this morning in the uk Prime MinisterBoris Johnson taking a major victory last night. His party vowing to leave the European Union by january 31 is by his words no ifs, no buts, no maybe. And china and the u. S. Have reached a phase one in principal, pending President Trumps approval can we expect this kind of a deal is this pretty much done or is the chinese side reluctant to say anything on the record right now. I would say the chinese side is quit reluctant to say anything there has been very little reporting on this. The Foreign Ministry did comment only saying a deal did agree to being beneficial i was speaking to a source close to the trade talks he said that the reason why the leaders are being so hesitate is because of the demand for large purchases and those hard targets. The concern is that the hard targets could hem in the chinese to eventually get into conflict with its other trading partners. It was described to me as a reallocation and fears that it could end up with several challenges of the wto. There is also concern that trump could change his mind because of u. S. Politics as the Campaign Continues to grow in momentum. That could mean that china could be stuck with large purchases of american product that it doesnt necessarily need another Sticking Point is the idea that we could agree in principal to some property issues as well how much does that line up to this round of negotiations and is there anything that could be measurable to the possible agreement . The intellectual property agreement seems not to be as high on the pry ority list in terms of concerns by the chinese. Theyve said before that they are willing to make some progress on the protections of intellectual Property Rights that will be something that they believe themselves will be important for them as they continue to innovate in the economy. Going forward, i think, what one of the main issues is mainly for the u. S. They wont see as much progress in structural changes for the chinese. That is a big concern for washington here, the concern is more about whether or not china would be stuck with those purchases and again be hit with tariffs by the United States. Live in beijing with the latest on that trade deal. For more Market Reaction joining us now from hong kong. We have Deutsche Bank and head of Research Michael spencer. Im troubled because i heard eunices report. There is no real commentary coming from the Chinese Government with regard to this deal is this another scenario where the markets have to tread a little more lightly around the possibility of an actual deal happening . It is concerning that almost a day after these first reports started to come out that the chinese still havent corroborated any of this i do think it is in both sides interest to get this done. There is enough Common Ground that u. S. Would agree not to raise tariffs not just through the weekend but through 2020 the chinese would like to lock President Trump into that agreement. So the uncertainty doesnt derail things. The u. S. Tariffs have been far and away the most important reason this region has been slowing down if these reports are correct, this is really positive news the absence of increases will reverse the slow down weve seen with that in mind, what exactly does the market see for them to really see as though there is a substantive reason to be more bullish and the prospects for possibly at least a move higher in some of those growth rates given the u. S. china negotiations. At this point, all we need is the chinese to say, yes, we need enough Common Ground that we will agree to the increase and make commitments on it for profit rights and more level Playing Field for a Foreign Investment and the u. S. On their side will at least not raise tariffs. The chinese always wanted some token tariff cuts. It sounds like this will be part of the agreement weve agreed to be close to wrapping this up for the next year or so michael, who has been winning the trade war . I say that tongue in cheek there is a notion that the u. S. Has been doing much Better Holding up against the economy and the chinese has been feeling it more than the u. S is there a scenario that perhaps china could see a pick up in their economy and perhaps the u. S. As well so i dont think either side has won. China has had to adjust policy in order to accommodate it has been an adjustment theyve made. Theyve not had to give up on the policy, the relatively tight credit policy. Weve seen a big fiscal stimulus here it has been, i would argue bad for both economies bad for Business Sentiment and bad for the u. S. Consumer who has paid for the tariffs it has been bad for the sector in china if tariffs have stopped going up that drag for both these economies has become less. If that comes down, that gets magnified. For both countries, this agreement, if it is corroborated, this provides the foundation for both to improve over the next 6 to 12 months and it will be more important whose exports to feed in have been even weaker. The rest of china desperately needs to agree at least to a stalemate for next year. Thank you for those thoughts on the u. S. china trade agreements lets turn now to the breaking news in the United Kingdom and Boris Johnsons brexit victory willem, take us through how big of a deal this was for the tories and conservatives some are calling this a landslide victory for Boris Johnson and the right winged side of the uk government. Frankly, this is the largest victory the conservatives have enjoyed for several decades. The worst for the labor party since the 1930s. In scotland, weve seen the party wipe the floor getting four fifths in that country. That could lead to a further cause to a second referendum for them trying to pass the withdraw agreement, thats the divorce deal with the eu by the end of january. Given the size of this majority, it doesnt look like Boris Johnson will face any major decision with that date. Im curious, there is a lot of talk about what will happen with Jeremy Corbyn and that status as the leader of the labor party. In the coming months, given what weve seen as large as it was. What we said overnight is that we will not be leading the party to the next election that vote will be five years from now giving us detail on that time line all put forward by the policies on that vote they supported them wholeheartedly his leadership was in negative leadership those who maintained or lost those seats say he was a real problem for them when he was out campaigning doortodoor thank you very much when we come back on the show, facebook under antitrust pressure as federal regulators look to probe the tech giant choppy trade and shares of oracle as you can see stock down by 2 .

Thats wrong and obstruction of congress which republicans tried unsuccessfully to remove nonof your witnesses were able to establish any evidence the democratic image or almost assures the president will be impeached and tried in the senate he wants witnesses out there because he wants his side of the story told Senate Republicans may block all witnesses. They want this over quickly. We all know how it is going to end there is no chance the president is going to be removed his party vowing to save his job when impeachment lands in her hands.
