Buffett says economy is feeling strong: 'If we're in the sixth inning, we have our sluggers coming to bat'

Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon cited several aspects of the economy as reasons for optimism.
"Right now, there's no question: it's feeling strong. I mean, if we're in the sixth inning, we have our sluggers coming to bat right now," Buffett said.
"The way I look at it, there is nothing that is a real pothole," Dimon added. "If you look at how the table's set, consumers are in very good shape."

Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett and J.P. Morgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon both believe that the U.S. economy is in rare form and could continue to prove strong for years to come.
In an exclusive joint interview with CNBC's Becky Quick, Dimon and Buffett cited several aspects of the economy as reasons for optimism.
"Right now, there's no question: it's feeling strong. I mean, if we're in the sixth inning, we have our sluggers coming to bat right now," Buffett told CNBC's Squawk Box in the interview airing Thursday.

"I'm no good at predicting out two or three or five years from now, although I will say this: there's no question in my mind that America's going to be far ahead of where we are now 10, 20 and 30 years from now," the 87-year-old billionaire added. "But right now, business is good. There's no question about it."
But Buffett added that a strong economy doesn't necessarily mean it's a good time to buy stocks.
"The decision on the stock market should be made independent of the current business outlook," Buffett said. "I don't think you should buy stocks based on what you think the next six months or year is going to bring."
For his part, Dimon — who's led J.P. Morgan as its CEO since 2005 — echoed Buffett's positive comments on the state of economic growth, saying that the current uptrend in business could last a number of years.
"The way I look at it, there is nothing that is a real pothole," the bank chief said. "Business sentiment is almost at the highest level it's ever been, consumer sentiment is at its highest levels, markets are wide open, housing's in short supply and my guess is mortgage credit will expand a little bit."
The unemployment rate fell to an 18-year low of 3.8 percent, according to figures released Friday. Second-quarter growth may reach 4.5 percent, according to the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow tracker.

"If you look at how the table's set, consumers are in very good shape," Dimon added. "Their balance sheet, their incomes, wages are going up, their debt levels are low, all the credit written since the Great Recession is pristine, whether it's mortgage credit – other than student lending, which is done by the government – but it's mortgage credit, small business credit, large corporate credit."
"So," he concluded. "It looks pretty good."

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross: The US strikes a deal with Chinese telecom giant ZTE

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says the U.S. has struck a deal concerning Chinese telecom giant ZTE.
"At about 6 a.m. this morning, we executed a definitive agreement with ZTE. And that brings to a conclusion this phase of the development with them," Ross tells CNBC.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told CNBC on Thursday the U.S. has struck a deal concerning Chinese telecom giant ZTE.
"At about 6 a.m. this morning, we executed a definitive agreement with ZTE. And that brings to a conclusion this phase of the development with them," Ross said in a "Squawk Box" interview.
Last month, Ross told CNBC the U.S. was looking at alternatives to the crippling sanctions threatening the survival of ZTE. In April, Washington banned ZTE from purchasing parts from U.S. companies, including Qualcomm, Corning and Google.

ZTE, in addition to smartphones, has been a large manufacturer of telecommunications equipment that allows large carriers to operate their wireless and data networks. It was China's first state-owned telecom equipment maker to go public. It's listed on the Shenzhen and Hong Kong stock exchanges.
Despite decades of prominence, ZTE has since fallen from its 2012 spot as the world's fourth largest smartphone maker, struggling amid new competition.
Under President Donald Trump's administration, ZTE's status as a Chinese multinational has also put it in the fray of a larger trade dispute between the U.S. and China. Trump has vowed to rebalance the power in America's trade relationship with China, and both nations have proposed tit-for-tat trade taxes.
Separately, the Trump administration decided last week to impose tariffs of 25 percent on steel imports and 10 percent on aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union. The three U.S. allies quickly announced retaliatory measures.
Ross defended the tariffs, telling CNBC last week that the stock market will "adjust" to any changes in U.S. trade policies. He also said that ending the tariff relief on Canada and Mexico reflects the lack of progress in the NAFTA talks.
The Commerce Department under Ross recommended imposing heavy tariffs or quotas on foreign producers of steel and aluminum in February in the interest of national security.
Before joining the White House, Ross made a fortune in the investment world, running W.L. Ross & Co., and buying stakes in distressed assets.
