the fox business networks kristina partsinevelos tracking this. kristina, explain this warning sign. >> you did a great job explaining it. visuals help. i have a graph. what is happening right now, investors are worried. they're moving their money to the bond markets. they're safe havens. inversions happen when you have a long-term bond. you want to get paid more. you never what can happen in ten years. the economy can crash. but today there was an inversion like you mentioned. you actually made more money holding a two-year bond versus a ten year. that's being shown by the red line going down on the screen. it's inverting, going downward. you don't want to see that. usually in the past historically if you look at just over the last several decades or so, that's a precursor for a recession. according to credit sweets, they say when a yield curve inverts, we could see a recession in 22 months. we know history changes. future changes. you can't always rely on what has happened in the past. so investors are concerned. they're selling their stocks. th

the fox business network's kristina partsinevelos reporting live from the new york stock exchange. kristina? imagine being told your bank accounts had to be closed for confidential reasons. and then you find out they have been accumulating overdraft fees. that's what happened to a roofing company. according to the owner, he thought all of his accounts were closed, he took out the money but there was still automatic withdrawals happening. so he got charged overdraft fees to the tune of about $1, 500. we went to the branch, called. he said nobody could help him. according to "the new york time times", several people are saying that this happens often enough. even if there's a negative balance, your account may stay open. there's a situation where a debt collection department accumulated over $100,000 in fees. the customers have brought complaints to try to resolve it. >> trace: does wells fargo have a response? >> we reached out to wells fargo hoping to get something. they said they can't comment on confidential private cases. but they did issue a statement and they said that as part

kristina partsinevelos in the newsroom covering this story, what is the likelihood this deal goes through? >> reporter: i think you said it, if completed. the fact that these are two major players possibly remerging, it would have to pass regulatory hurdles. this is not going to happen overnight. but why would they join forces when they separated only a decade ago? the fact that there's some different avenues to get away from cigarettes like juul, you have altria that has a 35% stake in juul. you also have philip morris that has created a product, a qos device. it doesn't burn tobacco, it heats it up, so there's no smoke or vapor that comes out, gaining in popularity around the globe. a lot of growth opportunities here in the united states. and going back to altria, another avenue too is they recently brought swiss maker of nicotine pouches. not patches. like you mentioned, ashley, you've seen the stock prices down, so why did that happen? the companies called it a merger of equals, but i think investor are starting to realize that's not going to be the case. philip morris will get 59% of

instead go to kristina partsinevelos on floor of the new york stock exchange. kristina? >> i like that. forget that. talk about the whoo-hoo you mentioned. you saw a little bit of a rally towards later half of the day. we were sitting around 250 points. it is a friday. people wearing ties. people are rushing out. what are some of the catalysts. improved sentiment about u.s. china trade progress. we can say that. germany stimulus if needed. same situation with china. a stimulus. talk about the dow winners on the screen. winners for apple, a lot has to do with china u.s. trade sentiment. given supply chain. goldman sachs doing higher because 10-year yields climbed higher. banks benefit from that. they got hammered yesterday. 3m often goes up and down with any trade comment. we talked about the yield, bring up the 10-year-year-old at the moment. it flipped over, people not buying as much bonds, putting it back into the market, hence the rally, towards later half of the afternoon. no inversions today. so spreading even though i have been talking to traders about recession, o

kristina partsinevelos is on floor of the new york stock exchange with this new salk ga with ge. reporter: story continues, the ceo of ge, larry culp bought back some stock to show his, i guess push there behind the company and essentially saying that all of the accusations of accounting fraud are false. this comes yesterday when an accountant, harry markopolos, published a 175 page report that accused ge of over 30 billion-dollar accounting fraud. that is who you're seeing on the screen. he said ge is hiding losses, they changed their accounting format every two to four years making it difficult, to make any historical comparisons. the caveat though, important caveat is that this accountant and his team were being paid by a third party hedge fund. the hedge fund that shorted fe. so they benefit when the stock drops which is what we saw yesterday. several analysts are supporting on wall street supporting ge. including citron research. they focus on short selling ideas. they put out a note attacking march cop poelous say that is sad day for activists in the short selling community

want to bring in to discuss today's rally, kristina partsinevelos. she's on the new york stock exchange. eric gibbs is back with us as well. i want to find out what they're saying on the floor. >> funny i just asked one trader and he's like there's no catalyst, we are just continuing the rally that we saw on friday. last week was a major volatile week, 800 point drop on the dow on wednesday but overall, today we have some trade optimism over the weekend. right now that's all you really need to keep things at a steady rate. it's more the long-term question. one trader told me he's going to be paying close attention to the november and december sales numbers because again, that shows how the u.s. consumer is doing. right now, it's really calm around me. charles: you know, listen, it is august and the market is notorious for these wild, you know, we have the summer doldrums but like the day after thanksgiving, the fewer people around can sometimes exaggerate the moves in the market. >> right. investors should be reminded you hear about huge swings but t

kristina partsinevelos is there with the latest. over to you. reporter: actually had a trader tell me very constructive, no bad us. investors bought into the market why you're seeing reversal from this morning. some dow winners we're looking at, dow chemical climbing higher. we have pfizer and unitedhealth as well as nike, again, trader from goldman sachs on the screen, told me that is value investments he is looking at. overall no major headlines. headline making news, peloton is looking to ipo. the interactive bicycle looks like a treadmill with attached ipad. they released the perspective. revenue doubled during the past year. so they have got 1.4 million members. so think of these members. these are guys paying over $2200 for a bike, $40 a month for membership fee. retention rate, according to the company, at 95%. but what are some of the concerns, this ipo for 2019? operating expenses expected to climb higher. spending a lot on marketing ahead of the ipo. the royalties, have been slapped with 150 million-dollar lawsuit supposedly didn't pay

kristina partsinevelos is in the newsroom. she has all the details. chris tina? reporter: the adversity score looked to capture the socioeconomic status of a student but led to a huge debate about race and class when it comes to college admissions. why the company that administers s.a.t.'s college boards decided to scrap the adversity score which is literally a one number based off of 15 factors that looked at your poverty level, the crime rate in your neighborhood, and that number wasn't even given to students. 50 schools across the u.s. did take part in a beta test with that diversity score but now they have decided they're going to rename it completely. they will change the tool. it is going to be called landscape. it will give students access to their scores so they won't be left in the dark. they will look factors where your school is located, rural versus urban, size of senior class, how many students are eligible for free other reduced priced lunches. or median family income. they are doing this, schools want to be diverse this is case of for harvard unive

i want to bring in kristina partsinevelos because retail will be in focus this week. macy's today. walmart tomorrow, retail sales that will give us a glimpse what has been the strongest part of our economy. >> that point you highlighted from the ceo call the fact that he said consumers do not want to see an increase in prices is a sign we're not ready for any type of tariffs being passed on to us. he said with the 10%, potential hike, with $300 billion worth of goods he will not increase prices. however in may, when we saw the other tariffs increase he increased slightly houseware and luggage. charles: he found out people -- >> they didn't like it. obviously we don't like higher prices. we have not seen that passed on to consumers just yet. this is a sign, a retailer on its own has not been doing well. that is separate. athletic miss sales, didn't do well with private label. too much inventory. they did another talking about viewing economy as a whole, talked about international tourism which is concerning that is weakening. stronger dollar hurting. >> that is why income to the big

kristina partsinevelos is tracking all the action in our newsroom. >> let's start with actually airlines, because no doubt if you are traveling to the florida region, there may be or most likely will be some delays, some big headaches. you are seeing several airlines, southwest, the first one announcing that you can switch your airline or your flights within the next 14 days at no fee. you've got united, jetblue, american airlines, all waiving the fees but you have to do it within a short period of time. shifting over to cruise ships because that's a major one beca lot of them leave out of the florida region, especially on the east coast. royal caribbean are closing their cocoa key island until september 4th. any purchase toward excursions you will get a refund in terms of a credit. carnival are still evaluating their weekend departures. the major reason for a lot of these cruise ships is you have the cruises in the water now that have to come back and everybody has to get off and the new people get on. these could be major issues going forward. disney fantasy changing their travel from

joining me tonight, gary kaltbaum, kristina partsinevelos, scott martin and steve forbes. i'm not looking to do indexing. i've studied indexing for a long time. i think it will be perceived if i do it as somewhat elitist. i don't want to do that. i want taxes for the middle class, the workers, the people that work so hard, that's what i'm looking. i think indexing is really probably better for the upper income groups. i'm not looking to do that. but if i wanted to do it, i believe i could. >> i'm not looking at a tax cut now. we don't need it. we have a strong economy. certainly a payroll tax cut. david: sound bite of president trump telling reporters just yesterday that he was considering indexing capital gains taxes but today, touting a strong economy, the president says indexing could be seen as somewhat elitist, the word he used, also saying no need now for a payroll tax cut, but is it a mistake to take these tax cuts off the table? >> david, it's always a mistake to take good tax cuts off the table. john kennedy didn't take it off. he had a strong economy in the early

-china trade but really the global economy, kristina partsinevelos on the floor at new york stock exchange with more. >> you said it you have the spread between two year and 10 year, increasing to level we haven't since 2007 you are seeing 30 year hit a low this is the yield so that is pushing a lot of bank stocks lower across the board, though we have seeing the futures market in the red for all three nasdaq dow and s&p 500. peloton is another ipo that is going public, and still making losses the company released filing you are seeing sales grow 110% year-over-year but losses declined dramatically one year last year loss 246 million dollars versus 48 million year prior they claim they have a first mover advancing 1.4 million people have become members of the peloton not cheap bikes cheapest on web site 2245 dollars does not include monthly fee so that you have live instructor or classes on the screen in front of you, to end quickly some evident potential risks for company not only the fact they pay a linesing fee for you music they have operating expenses they expect to increase people do

to kristina partsinevelos in the newsroom. jeff gannette was very clear, with or without the tariffs, viciously competitive landscape he's looking at. >> the last line, he did say consumers do not have an appetite for price increases. that's something i think we really need to focus on. given that these tariffs haven't really been passed on to consumers as much as they potentially could be. on the conference call today, he did say that they weren't going to increase prices with that 10% increase, but should tariffs increase to 25%, then they could potentially increase prices. last time in may, they did slightly increase prices on luggage and housewares and realized consumers don't like it. the earnings report was really a miss and not primarily due to tariffs. more because of just the woes that plagued macy's for so long. they missed on their athletic private label. it didn't do well. it wasn't fashionable enough. they had a slowdown in international tourism which i think is a big sign about the economy, too. weaker tourism, s

whatever you think, kristina partsinevelos joins us now, people are clearly listening. this stock is getting hammered today. >> clearly. you are seeing it down almost 12%. that's because the accounting expert came out saying that ge is facing the largest accounting scandal ever, that he's ever seen. he's been researching this with his team for the past seven months. he published a document, research paper, on gefraud.com. it's about 175 pages, making allegations that ge has a massive accounting fraud totalling $30 billion and that it's potentially even bigger than enron. that's what you are seeing on the screen right there. before we get to the allegation, i want to get to the comment i got from ge this morning. their spokesperson said the claims made are meritless. the company has never met, spoken to or had contact with mr. markupolis and we are extremely disappointed that an individual with no direct knowledge of ge would choose to make such serious and unsubstantiated claims. some of the claims in the document are, these are the allegations from the whistleblower, t

kristina partsinevelos is following it all today at the new york stock exchange. reporter: we are seeing that optimism, trade optimism is having a lot of investors move their money away from bonds into equities, little bit riskier. because of that, you have the bond prices that move in the opposite direction of yield, that's pushing up yields, helping banks so a lot of the banks you are seeing with citi, look at that, goldman sachs up over 1%. all across the board, up 1%. another sector that's doing well today, too, is the energy sector. that's falling off of a trend we saw on friday. opec putting out their weekly report that output has dropped. we are also seeing saudi arabia production at the lowest rates we have seen in five years so that helps with a little bit even though the price of wti is off the session highs for the day. i want to end on chip makers. i think you have been talking about it but we know the administration has given an extension to u.s. companies to work for another 90 days with huawei to wean off of it. that's helping the chip sector and mo

kristina partsinevelos at new york stock exchange, with a look what is moving right now. christina? i will start with a really big story. we told you harry, accounting expert, he and his accounting team that ge was involved in a massive 139 billion-dollar accounting fraud. ceo of ge said those statements are completely false and to prove that, he bought back $2 million, almost two million dollars worth of shares that helped with the slight uptick. the latest news we're getting right now. siltcitron research. they are condemning maropolis saying he is benefiting from third party urn named hedge funds. all of this for a profit. quote from citron research, marco polo attack on ge, share of mentality is disingenuous does not pass the smell test. cintron said there is a difference between fraud and aggressive accounting tactics. we're seeing markets higher. dow higher 268 points. nasdaq, 122. trader told me this is crazy. from august 2nd to the s&p 500, it has only dropped five points. getting a roller-coaster, getting off pretty much where you started. germany open to some deficit spend

kristina partsinevelos with more on that. reporter: you're right. a lot of corporate folks have reached out to the president, asking him not to increase tariffs. you have this list of toys to clothing goods that right now, the u.s. importers of those goods can breathe a small sigh of relief until december 15th. but according to the new york federal reserve, just this year alone, they are estimating households have to pay an extra $830 per household just because of the tariffs. washington said they have delayed these 10% increase on china nie chinese goods because of security concerns but to your question, what you are alluding to, could this be because corporations have been asking the president not to increase tariffs because it's hurting their goods, causing their goods to go up. why? because they have to pay that 10% tax. it's up to them to decide if they are going to pass it on to consumers. what you are seeing right now is a letter that was sent on behalf of 600 corporations and trade associations, including macy's, nike wrote to the president,

kristina partsinevelos with some details on what macy's had to say. >> what a day for macy's. you are seeing the stock down 13% but it was actually the low today, down 16%. why is that. you had profit 48% but on the conference call you had the ceo speak about potential tariffs. de s he did say in may tariffs increased on houseware and luggage but going forward, what we might see on $300 billion worth of goods in december, he said that's manaabl manageable not planning on raising prices because he believes prices should not increase. people do not want to pay more which is why he's going to try to eat the 10% increase in tariffs whenever that does happen on december 15th. but we are talking about the earnings woes for macy's. what went wrong this past quarter. you had the fashion miss in their private label, slowdown in international tourism which is also a big key. we are starting to see a global slowdown. the strength in the u.s. dollar makes things much more expensive here and that leads to too much inventory which they did have to sell off and that eats away at their margin

partsinevelos is on floor of the new york stock exchange taking a look good morning to you. >> good morning, maria. like you mentioned you had a rocky week last week the dow dropped over 800 points wednesday talked about inverted yield curve not the sentiment today more optimism you are seeing investors motive money away from bonds lowering prize yields climbing higher take a look at 10 year, we are seeing 10 year, last week hit a 3-year low, today look at that, up, up above 1.6% seeing a lot of positivity helping financial stocks in the futures market but we want to talk retail some chatting with friday reporting here saying looking at numbers because it paints a very good picture about how tu.ds customer is doing walmart very strong expecting hopefully similar situation home depot lowe's tgx on screen discount brand this will continue next few weeks sorry few days or so given that 90% s&p 500 stocks have already reported, last but not alleviate you a mud news on your to show you k345d commerce secretary wilbur ross sake they are going to give a 90 day reprieve to huawei, huawei pr

kristina partsinevelos, come in please. i want a value judgment right off the top. you think that's okay? reporter: it's a really tough question because i was an overweight kid and maybe this app could have helped me when i was younger. however, do i really want a company to be teaching me the ways of how to be monitoring my food. should it be the responsibility of my parents or school. what weight watchers is doing, they are launching an app and it's going to be called curbo by ww. weight watchers changed their name to ww to remove the weight from their name so we are not so focused on the scale, but this app will provide, like you said, kids up to 8 years old or 8 all the way to their teen agers, they can get this app which teaches them about breathing exercises and then they have a traffic light system, so if you put in your food, say you eat salad for lunch, that's green which means you can eat it freely. but if you had pasta, that's yellow so you should maybe have it in moderation, slow down. then if you had soda or candy, that would be a red, stop. think twice

kristina partsinevelos, why are they not happy. >> a few stipulations they are not content with. how will money be distributed across to various states and counties? they haven't specifieded because of population within the regions or impact of the opioid crisis. that is what all of this is about. the deal, settlement you mentioned is a settlement with over 2,000 lawsuits from across the country. 10 to $12 billion. the sackler family, behind purdue pharma, they contributed their own money, $3 million but some of the states, according to "the wall street journal" more specifically, connecticut, new york, local states are not happy. they don't think, they think that the sackler family should one, contribute more, and then two, remainder of the settlement is reliant on future opioid sales. stuart: they don't like that. >> they don't like that. the problem is opioid and oxycontin. they will pay the settlement on future sales of the product. stuart: before we move on, can you put that board up again with the opioid makers. they're all way down. look at that! 16% down. endodown 8%. tev
