1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Shane Solly Harbor Asset Managements with US. Hello Shane, all right, 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: so the brings oil price increased another two percent today, 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: sitting at one one five USD a barrel. How have 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: the investment markets reacted to the latest move and what 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: economic sectism of factors are markets pricing in do you think? 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I'll start with the second piece first. Soonly 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 2: we're starting to see, excuse me, markets think about a 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: stagflation light type environment, so higher inflation, lower growth. And 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: when we think about that, investors are pricing in the 10 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: first round effect of inflation from oil prices, and now 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 2: they're starting to think about sorry, higher inflation going through 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: the interest rates, and now they start to think about 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: what it means for earnings and things like credit ratings. 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: So we've seen bond yields. There's this government ten year 15 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 2: bond years in particular increase with inflation risk. So US 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: tenure bond yards roads to four forty three last week. 17 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 2: We've seen US on ten year bond years today up 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: to four point eight percent, getting up there to recent 19 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: highst shear markets continued to forward lower growth risk. Were 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: shre mark it down two percent last week to be 21 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: down seven point four percent month to day when we 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: were down one point four percent today Helen driven by 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: weakness and fish and buckle Health, Gaet and Brittill e 24 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: Bos the big losers on the day with Fletcher Building, Westpac, Enrymans. 25 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 2: More cyclical names, the more sensitive to slower activity. So yeah, 26 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: we're we're down seven point one percent month to day 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: here in his yard. 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: So seeing me a risk off? 29 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, now, I see markets are talking about a bear flattener. 30 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: What does a bear flatner? 31 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 32 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 2: So being flaten is unusual. It means that the yield 33 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: curve shape is for has changed. It's where the shorter 34 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: termb interest rates, the nearer to maturity interest rates have 35 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: increased faster than the longer term rates. So we've seen 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: rates across the yelk curve increase across all maturities, but 37 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 2: they've increased more the short end. 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: The nearer turm maturity. 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: Does it matters because the bearer should often signals that 40 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: the markets are expecting higher managed to policy central banks 41 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: increasing rates to combat inflation, but it frequently proceeds growth 42 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: slowing down and potential recession. 43 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's certainly a bit of a harbinger of things. 44 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 3: To turn down. 45 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: Okay, now listen, tell me what you think of that 46 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: deal between Zero and Anthropic on Fridays. It's going to 47 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: boost the share price for Zero. 48 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: Well, look on the face that we think it's a 49 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: positive step. 50 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: It sort of suggests that AI doesn't necessarily replace or 51 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 2: dis intermediate software and they can actually work together because 52 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: this has been the big shock we've had the macro 53 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: of Iran and now we've with the micro of which 54 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: had been software over the last few months. 55 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: So this is a good deal for Zero Andthropics. 56 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: Claude will probably do a lot of the heavy lifting 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: for Zero's AI agent jacks. But what we don't know 58 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: heither is what Zero is going to pay for the service. 59 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 2: We don't know where the economic monetization is going to sit, 60 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: so the market's been a little bit wiry about it. 61 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: We think it's an important deal with it actually helps 62 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: change market sentiment or perspectives about long run termin or 63 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: value res for Zero. But unfortunately on the day at 64 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: the Zero share price is actually down three point two 65 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: seventy fifty, really reflecting weakness and your software stock. So 66 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: a good to your bet you can really roll through. 67 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Shane, thank you.
