could it get worse for harley davidson currency headwinds partially offset by higher year over year pricing and sales. and one more to put it in perspective. for a larger industrial-type name, as well. we're talking about caterpillar on its earnings call, industrial sales declining by 1% with gains in most regions more than offset by currency-related impacts. that's going to be a big deal. declines in the asia pacific region reflected continued aggressive competitive pricing as well as unfavorable currency impacts. so as we talk about the rest of earnings season, morgan, david, jon, the idea here is if the u.s. dollars continues to have a relative gain versus everybody else out there, will there be a lot more talk about just how big of a headwind some of these currencies are these are just indicative of some of the calls that we've seen so far, but major companies within the s&p that get a lot of business from outside the u.s., morgan, get a lot of that currency headwind in their earnings conference calls. we'll send things back over to you. >> dom chu thanks for breaking that down for us b

harley davidson and polaris. i thought to myself, who really gives products that people don't have to buy like food or oil? well, harley davidson. it is down 5%, near a 52-week low. the motorcycle company already a punching bag on trade for president trump in the past. and polaris, maker of the atvs. well, that stock is stalling, down about 5.75%. buying high in consumer discretionary will get hurt when recessionary signals are flashing red. all right. so for those investors who are thinking of buying on this dip, ubs put out this warning. here's the quote. today's backdrop with pmis, the purchasing managers index, in the low 50s and rates arguing for further declines, often results in the buying the dip being a losing proposition. i'm not sure warren buffett would agree with that, but if you bought the s&p 500 last monday, not two days ago but a week ago monday, the worst day of 2019 up until today, you bought it after the close at 2,844, you are still up a little here because the s&p right now is at 2,856. just

the all-new electric livewire™ ofrom harley-davidson. i was on the fence about changing from a manual to an electric toothbrush. but my hygienist said going electric could lead to way cleaner teeth. she said, get the one inspired by dentists, with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's gentle rounded brush head removes more plaque along the gum line. for cleaner teeth and healthier gums. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the first electric toothbrush brand accepted by the ada for its effectiveness and safety. what an amazing clean! i'll only use an oral-b! oral-b. brush like a pro. ok. family meeting! aww come on! i'm right in the middle of my show! busy. doing homework. i can hear you playing video games. that's me, honey! well, i'm going to t-mobile and for every iphone ten r i buy, they'll give me another one. but if you're all too busy... wait, what? you're getting iphone ten r's? awww yeah. the battery life on those is sick. oh, can you bring me back one? i can't pause this game. come to t-mobile and for each iphone ten r you

he threatened kim jong-un and attacked lebron james and called for a boycott of harley-davidson. trump poll numbers tends to pick up when he can stay out of the news. so i'm watching this week is if the president could get a little bit of r&r and continue a summer of unforced errors from a controversial performance this week, this past week in el paso and dayton and the racist tweets he posted while we were sitting at this very table a few weeks ago. >> steal yourselves for tweets. molly? >> impeachment. is it happening or not? there have been some mixed signals being sent by the democrats in the house recently. as you've had jerry nadler and others saying that, in fact, impeachment is already underway even though the house where a majority of democrats now do support opening an impeachment inquiry never had what is usually considered the opening of an impeachment inquiry, the full vote on the house floor about whether to go in that direction. so democrats are -- members of congress are back in districts for the summer recess and some are kind of confused about what going on with

wasn't out in front by himself waving a flag when you see jeff bezos getting isolated or looking at harley-davidson with a position on a trade issue is there they had to shut down a factory and open one in europe mary barre shut down% she told both the republican and democratic senators long in advance of a plan. the white house informed that she was isolated and today we see that ford is isolated. that jim hackett is out there by himself. when you're out there by yourself fighting the white house on the ford issue it is basically the auto industry moved on they don't want a rollback in the emission standards in their efficiency. that california and the european markets want to sell into have the higher standards >> yeah. by the way, a fascinating topic. not quite sure how we got there. we have to leave it for another day if that's okay. >> business encyclopedia of jeff thank i hear never, i say now. - [announcer] southern new hampshire university is education made to fit your goals with over 200 degree programs, >>i can break through. - [announcer] breakthrough at snhu.edu. quadrupled their money

we are seeing instances of them hitting harley davidson and other well-known brands. they are playing domestic politics -- neil: but i interpret that to mean that they're not shrinking silently into the night. >> no. absolutely not. i totally agree, they are watching very closely as countries around the world do, the domestic politics going on in the u.s. they see this uncertainty and they are going to play to that because they would very much like in november or january, the next inauguration, not to be dealing with a donald trump. but we should say it wasn't that long ago when people across the aisle agreed that something had to be done with this behemoth that is china. neil: no one told them about the pain. >> they didn't want to talk about that. but most people agree something needs to be done. democrats and republicans. president trump has stuck to this i think more than anybody quite expected him to and longer at this point. >> there are a couple things that might be done differently. tpp was designed -- neil: trans-pacific partnership, asian bloc against china.

harley davidson scaled back in milwaukee. carrier, even though the president made a big deal out of saving jobs there, a lot of them still went to mexico from my home state of indiana. that fundamentally has not shifted either. and then to the final point, with respect to the payments to the farmers, who have been the in the of retaliation trade enforcement actions, that is a good point as well and i have concerns about it. that the government should make you whole with trade policy. i have no qualms with that. we talked about this. manufacturing shed about 5 to 2009.obs from 2000 there is this tiny little program called trade adjustment assistance for manufacturing workers. -- $1s maybe one of billion or $2 billion per year. that is for 5 million workers, many of whom, bubbly more than 3 million of them, can connect their job loss to international competition. and here you have a very small but important section of the economy, and the amount of money that is being poured into it -- and a lot of it is going to corporate agri
