for traders and investors over the past week or two, given the bank stock run, global rates all over the place, right now a slight tick higher in yields 3.27%. following global rates higher, but there are some forces at play here elsewhere around the world. we'll get to those parts in a bit. certainly japan playing a big part of the story. >> it's been the big story this week we'll get back to the markets in just a second. first politics, following the major developments out of the g20 summit, world leaders are gathered to discuss crucial issues let's get to eamon javers on the ground in hamburg. i'm happy to see you're safe and sound after following all these protests and being in the thick of them for us yesterday what's the latest? >> good morning from hamburg the president and vladimir putin

already arrived at the hamburg convention center where most events today will be taking place. they arrived separately. the first face-to-face meeting will be happening later on today. that's highly anticipated. let's show you the cover of the german newspaper, summit and violence a large picture of president trump and the firs this is dominating all coverage around the world here. let's give you a sense of what the president is up to today he woke up in hamburg. he's been tweeting this morning. he's been saying i will represent our country well and fight for its interests. fake news media will never cover me accurately but who cares, we will make america great again. he said i look forward to all meetings today with world leaders including my meeting with vladimir putin. much to discuss. so the president setting the stage here for the meeting what

he wants americans back home to see. the other images from hamburg are the images you referenced of the protests here last night the welcome to hell protests here did get violent at times. we were out and about in the crowds yesterday a lot of friendly faces, people drinking a lot of beer but some violence police had to use water canons to control some crowds let's give you an update on those protests german police say they're experiencing right now numerous violent actions, including burning vehicles in the street individuals used molotov cocktails to set about ten parked cars on fire. we're not righted a jay saint eo the protests, but we can see thick black smoke rising above the city

and in hamburg altona, security officials are deploying water c cannons again. it's used to disperse some of that crowd we are seeing some intense protests this morning. they're expecting those to ramp up during the course of the day, particularly as world leader meetings happen in central hamburg. >> eamon, a question here. this is the cover of the "washington post" today. it's a picture basically of the south korean president, the japanese prime minister and donald trump oftentimes the g20 is more about some of these bilateral meetings, off the sideline meetings so take us through some color there. how much more focus will be on some of these individual meetings like with russian president vladimir putin or others on the sidelines and what can we expect to come out of those meetings

>> there's no question that the focus today is on the trump/putin meeting. we saw donald trump yesterday in warsaw poland laying down a hard rhetorical line on the russians, talking about their destabilizing activities in the ukraine. that's something vladimir putin won't want to hear putin had an op-ed yesterday in a german newspaper in which he criticized the use of international sanctions. he spoke up for the paris climate accords. both of those things donald trump won't want to hear all of the attention on that one. there's so many other dynamics in play, including the relationship between the german chancellor angela merkel and chinese president xi jinping that relationship is an interesting one. the relationship between the eu and japan is in focus. a lot of those bilateral meetings are happening on the sidelines. the meeting with vladimir putin will be a formal bilateral, not

where they meet just in a hallway where. this will be in a room with a table, dignitary sitting down. relatively few senior officials in the room for that meeting we should get some pictures of it or pictures of the walk-in. we'll wait and see what kind of access we get later today. >> eamon javers, thank you look forward to hearing more on the coverage of g20 from you on the ground in hamburg as the day goes on. the markets, like we mentioned before, the bnk of japan stepping up plans for its bond buying program. the boj saying it would buy an unlimited number of jjbs at 0.11%. it increased the size of the regular buying of 5 to ten-year jgbs from 50 billion yen to 500 billion yen. the nikkei falling by a third of a percent. the hang seng off by a half

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." starbucks may have a big problem on its hands a recent study finds nearly 9 out of 10 employees say the coffee chain is understaffed. nearly two-thirds say that's

hurting their ability to deliver the best customer experience one starbucks staffer says mobile ordering has added to the workload immensely in january some of the busiest locations were dealing with bottlenecks at drink pickup stations starbucks having some traffic problems maybe a good problem to have in global news, the qatar crisis continues four arab states said late yesterday that qatar's refusal to meet their demands is proof of its connection to terror groups willem marx joins us from doha with the latest. this seems like this whole situation in the middle east keeps dragging on. what can we expect to see now given the latest developments? >> you're right. we've heard from the u.s. state department overnight, they said they expect this to continue in the current set of circumstances for a few more weeks if not months rex tillerson will be traveling to kuwait next week, where the

mediation efforts are ongoing. businesses here have said ultimately they've not seen such an impact on their bottom line i spoke to the ceo of the qatar financial center, which encourages foreign businesses here in qatar. he said they had not been reacting that strongly let's take a listen. >> i think initially there's a sense of shock because of what happened there's obviously an aggression upon the state of qatar. and again, business people don't like mixing with politics. and interfering with their businesses so i think hopefully the message i would like to send is that post-crisis qatar will be stronger, more open, and will basically become a destination

of choice and a lot more stronger for the rest of the globe to consider. >> another person i spoke to yesterday said though he had to hold the hands of expats assuring them this is a viable place for business, he thinks new businesses here are seeing opportunities because of this set of circumstances >> how should we understand the u.s. role in this? on one hand we're seeing the trump administration basically fortify its alliance with the saudis with all the major deals that have been announced. on the other we're moving forward to sell more fighter jets to qatar. how are the qataris looking at that sort of go-between with the u.s. >> yesterday senator bob corker back in d.c. said he doesn't

want to sell any weapons to either side until this is resolved clearly rex tillerson has a relationship here with a lot of these leaders from his time at exxonmobil a lot of them are not reacting angrierily angrily, they say they're unrealistic. >> thank you willem marx. still to come, the sttop stories and a round up of the global pringles is out with a w flavor that's sure to bring you back to your college days. the reveal coming up on cnbc

good morning we're talking high stakes. leaders from the world's largest economies gather for the g20 summit as attention turns to president trump's first face-to-face meeting with vladimir putin. jobs in america. wall street waits on that key employment data release. we'll talk expectations straight ahead. and hey alexa, amazon's hands-free assistant has a new feature. that reveal coming up. it's friday, july 7, 2017, you're watching "worldwide exchange" on cnbc. ♪ >> i know that song. good morning welcome to "worldwide exchange" on cnbc. i'm dominic chu.

>> i'm morgan brennan. >> let's check what's happening so far with the global markets lots to talk about on the geopolitical front and on the economic front in the u.s. markets are stable ahead of that big jobs report happening at 8:30 a.m. eastern time later on this morning. you can see s&p futures indicated to open up by a full two points the dow jones open by five points to the upside the nasdaq up by one to two points if you look at the ten-year treasury note yield, a huge foe cut on rates given the fomc minutes, 2.382, a slight uptick in yields for the ten-year u.s. treasury note. we've been seeing that shorter term uptrend higher. that will be a huge key for investors out there. the reason why we're looking at rates is the bank of japan stepping up plans for the bond buying program today the boj saying it would buy an

unlimited number of jgbs at 0.11%. an increased five to ten-year jgbs by 50 billion yen to 500 billion total.equity picture was generally weaker the hang seng off by a half percent. the kospi off by a third of a percent. let's look at trading in europe. still going on right now those trades were negative in the last half hour and they remain that way. the dax off by 0.2%. the cac in france off by 0.50% the ftse 100 off by a quarter of a percent. pound sterling hitting a session low on weak uk output and trade data

your euro 1.1414 the yen 113.72 >> before we get to broader markets, something i find interesting this week, that's the fact that transports have been the big outperformer when you look at u.s. equities this week because if you're into dow theory it potentially signals another buying signal. >> transportation stock force sure and small capitalization stocks thighirying to play catc. if those trends continue t could be more fuel for the run higher. >> turning now to oil and to the broader market looking at oil after a modest rally yesterday, we are lower today. wti crude under 45 bucks a barrel at 44.36 ice brent, the world benchmark just under 47 bucks a barrel each off about 2.5%. we saw record output numbers from saudi aramco and stronger production numbers out of the

u.s. that is overshadowing the inventory draw downs that were better than expected in the u.s. turning to gold on the back of that dollar strength that we've seen all of these signs that the fed is tightening. gold coming off at 1,220 an ounce. we're in our sixth straight week of declines in gold. investors have soured on u.s.ingi iequities again there are 3.3 billion in outflows the past week while money poured into nondomestic funds. investors appear to be tentative about putting money into u.s. bond funds taxable and high-yield funds posted moor than $1 billion in outflows last week. today's top story, the g20 summit in hamburg, germany in just a few hours president trump will have his first meeting with his russian counterpart. joining us is ben white from

politico and a cnbc contributor. thanks for joining us. >> pleasure to be here >> what can we expect from this meeting between president trump and vladimir putin >> it's 30 minutes long, we're told i don't know how much fireworks you will get out of that for the trump administration it's sort of important for them at some point to chal plenge pui over the allegations of election tampering. trump has thrown questions on that, there whether it happenwh, whether it was the chinese he has to say to putin, i want to address these allegations if he doesn't, he plays into the narrative that he's putin and in the back pocket of the russian president. he has to make headway on that issue. we'll look at that from the readout of the meeting >> there are certain observers who look at the background of president trump, a dealmaker type person, the brack grouackgf

vladimir putin who used to run the secret police in russia. maybe putin could be a better strategist and negotiator in these types of situations because he knows how to set things up. give us the context of how the battle of personalities plays ou out. >> they are very different temperamentally. trump is a big headlines guy he's not a details guy he will want to come out of there with some positive headline he can talk to the media about. putin is very good at running out the clock another these meetings, speaking at length about russia's grievances with the west, with the u.s if trump can't be on the front foot and bring up topics he wants to say he talked about, he could be in trouble with put wh putin who is very good at

setting the agenda and making it all about russia's problems. trump has to be a little aggressive and not let him run out the clock. >> we're so focused when it comes to north korea and this icbm test, russia has decisibeen strengthening economic ties with north korea. we saw putin step in on the g20 move to condemn this recent missile launch how important is it in terms of getting russia on board to stymy north korea? >> it's very important you obviously don't want russia aiding north korea in any way. trump has a difficult road there in north korea not a lot of good options for putting more pressure on that regime to reduce its nuclear program. the extent to which he can engage putin on that topic, we

have a hart period short period get to a lot of important topics, but it's an issue the trump administration has trouha trouble with they thought they could work with china on this so far no luck on that so trump looks a little powerless at this point. the extent he can get putin to help him would be great. i don't see that happening >> there's so much to talk about. >> we could talk about trump being on foreign soil, trashing the u.s. media and basically play nothingiing into putin's hs you could argue that putin has already won this by saying i don't believe the reports saying what russia is doing that has to put a smile on putin's face >> ben white, thank you for joining us. eu officials started making a list of u.s. goods to target

welcome to "worldwide exchange." time for our morning must-reads. my pick is in the "washington post." it's titled trump has the most to win or lose from the g20 summit this says trump's erratic tweets and public statements make it hard to predict his diplomatic strategy in hamburg. trump thinks he gains leverage by making others uncertain this president may be a dealmaker but he's not a

strategist trump may say he won the hamburg game no matter what, the question is whether this dampens some of the fires burning all over trump has a lot to gain or a lot to lose as the title says given some of these developments and like ben white said and eamon javers said, it will all come down to those bilateral sideline in the hallway behind closed door meetings that happen at the g20 event, not necessarily the g20 event itself >> i still maintain that the u.s. as the world's biggest economy and really as the leader of the free world, at least from a defense standpoint, that he still has the most leverage. we still have the most leverage. there was a lot of talk about paris climate accord and us pulling out of it, how it was us against the rest of the world. now you're starting ing ting tr countries also not potentially agree. i think we have more leverage than we give ourselves credit for on the world stage my pick is also in the

"washington post." this is titled we think north korea is crazy what if we're wrong. so the north korean regime has tried to buy insurance, in the realm of international affairs the best insurance is having a nuclear capacity pyongyang knows that it has a large enough army and the korean theater of war is so small and dense that a conventional war would be unthinkable producing hundreds of thousands of casualties and millions of refugees pouring into china and south korea making the point here that we have seen this dictator regime in place for three generations now. we like to talk about the leader being unhinged, erratic, and irration irrational, maybe he's not the truth of the matter is having that nuclear capability

is what gives him leverage on the world stage. because we're never going to go to nuclear war with north korea. the truth of the matter is, even targeted strikes on north korea would be a huge issue right now. >> many traders i talk to say it's probably the most important geopolitical concern out there, north korea certainly front and center for a lot of traders out there. we're approaching the top of the hour that means, yes, the team at "squawk box" is getting ready. joe kernen is in new york with a look at what's coming up joe, as always, you have a lot of good stuff coming up. a lot of great guests. what do you have your eyes on specifically this morning? >> actually -- i'm with morgan on that -- about the paris thing. it's not just saudi arabia, you saw theresa may had -- >> yes >> four big priorities on what she wanted to accomplish, and sadly climate change was not on one of them. we'll see. i'm looking at these -- i'm looking at the "new york times,"

glenn thrush, but just looking at what -- his characterization of the speech yesterday. about how trump broke with tradition by attacking american leaders, like we have not seen that before. one guy said yesterday that just making the point that politics never stops at the waters. it never stops at the edge of the ocean. do you remember president obama? he said all kinds of stuff the past few years then i look at the "washington post" -- this is like a -- >> joe, here's my question >> listen to this, president trump brought a starkly populist and nationalistic message to europe yesterday i was watching some other -- another channel saying this was like the anti-inaugural speech that that was populist, america first. this one was much broader in bringing in europe and poland and that we're altogether on

this the west is together so i -- it may not be fake news, what i read, but i read interpretations that might as well be fake news. when i hear even opining, i don't know i get tired of it. i will say one thing, just because you can do something, just because you develop the technology to do something doesn't mean you should do it. like the top ramen potato chips? they developed technology for oyster ice cream >> no. >> i wouldn't want it. >> no. >> should you -- >> i would eat the chips >> should you genetically engineer children to be more successful and havecertain color hair some things you have the technology to do, you don't just do it. you don't make top ramen tasting pringles they smash the potatoes, glue them back together disgusting they have the strange little shape. now they're going to be top

ramen? >> i can't wait to bring one of those. >> i'm not eating it i'm bringing you oyster ice cream. tuna ice cream tuna sundae. less than three hours away from the release of the june jobs report. ge urey.senberg tss ad that's coming next

welcome back the june jobs report out at 8:30 a.m. eastern time. non-farm payrolls are forecast to rise by 174,000 joining us now to break it down, david rosenberg chief economist from gluskin schiff. let's talk about what we're looking for this time around is wage growth all we're really focused on this time around? >> i would say it's not the only thing. i would say fade the headline number because the fed is clearly looking through it

we got the main number a month ago, they didn't stop the fed from stepping up its hawkish rhetoric so they're focused on the unemployment rate. and the big news last month was that even with a soggy employment increase, the unemployment rate still went down for the fed it's the tightness in the labor market that matters most and i would say followed by that the wage number will be important. when you read through the latest rhetoric from janet yellen and stanley fischer and bill dudley, the big three, and the tone of the fomc minutes which was tortured and disagreement, but i think thefolks running monetar policy are focused back on the u3 unemployment rate that's probably the first thing to focus on. >> is there anything at this point that is going to derail the fed from continuing to tighten into the end of this

year >> well, i don't know if it will be so much about the economy or core inflation we're in unchartered territory because historically we never had the fed tightening from any level of the funds rate in a period when the run rate on real gdp is 2% or lower, and when core inflation is below 2% this is something brand-new. the fed spending quite a bit of time talking about excesses in valuation across several asset classes. that much is true. they seem to be focused on the labor market hitting a wall. they're talking more about the headline unemployment rate which, let's face it, 6, 12 months ago janet yellen wasn't nearly focused as much on the headline unemployment rate as she is now the economy this year has been weak i think that if the fed is going to be pushed off course, it will be more of a financial event than it will be necessarily an economic event i mean, we just came off a soggy first quarter gdp.

we came off a very weak non-farm number a month ago that has not stopped the fed from signalling that they'll raise rates at least one more time this year and tinker with the balance sheet. it's not about the economy but like every other time when you had the fed cease and desist, it wasn't an economic event that pushed it to the sidelines, it was a financial event. the question is what will the financial event this time that pushes the fed off course. >> just a couple seconds left. how you are positioned bullish or bearish going into the second half of the year? >> i think the economy is going to disappoint. earnings will disappoint so i would say that very cautious heading into the second half >> david rosenberg, thank you very much for joining us all of that outlook on the ons number that does it for "worldwide exchange." morgan, thank you very much. we've had a great time this morning on this friday "squawk box" is coming up next
