1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: US FED Reserve Chair j Powell has said that the 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: time has come for interest rate cuts. He's speaking at 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: the fed's annual Jackson Hole Retreat, and Shane Solely from 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: Harbor Asset Management is with us on the say, Shane, 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: how did the markets react to this? How did he sound? 6 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: What was the tone? 7 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: Well, the time has come. Jay has certainly pulled the 8 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: pen on this, and he said, look the upside rest inflation, 9 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: they're diminished, so we're actually seeing a deflation disinflationary period 10 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: of time. And he's more worried about this down so 11 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: risk to the employment in the US. So he didn't 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: commit to a particular pace of rate cuts. So that's 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: left market's a little bit wary the timing and the 14 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: pace that's to be depending on data. It's always data 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: dependent when it comes to central bankers. But overall it 16 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: struck the right table with markets. We saw interest rates 17 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 2: fall across the board, and we saw share markets up 18 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: and the U. S. Dollar down, and I think we 19 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: really have seen something the market had expected. But this 20 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: confirmation here. So little bit more data out this week, 21 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: sort in the next few days, and some house price 22 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: data is some consumer confidence data, but it's going to 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: put more fuel on the when rather than if and 24 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: how much. 25 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: Man in New Zealand, it has been busy with all 26 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: of the companies reporting in the last week or so. 27 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: You seeing any trends here in what you're actually witnessing. 28 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Unfortunately, we're seeing more misses against expectations. The companies 29 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: are coming in slightly lower than expected than beats. But look, 30 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: it's a feeling there's a little bit of a green 31 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: shoots out there. We've seen a couple of big misses 32 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: from companies like Fletcher Building in spar The literacity companies 33 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: obviously had a bit of an impact from this dry year. 34 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: But there's some green shoots coming through, a bit of 35 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: costs peaking and certainly some companies starting to show some 36 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: confidence in terms of talking about the future in terms 37 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: of growth, a couple talking about buying back their own shares. 38 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: Even so, there is a sort of a feeling we're 39 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: bounced along the bottom. It's a bit hazy, but certainly 40 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: this sort of suggestion we're seeing the worst. 41 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: Of things, and then this upcoming week we've got a 42 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: whole bunch as well. I think a New Zealand's probably 43 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: going to be one of the big ones and probably 44 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: not that flash. What else is going on? 45 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, look we've got another thirty end companies reporting this week. 46 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: We had Cora, the Lions company out today, better result 47 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: than expected driven Sorry that actually result wasn't That wasn't better, 48 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: but they provided a high dividend income payment which saw 49 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: the stock price cup nine percent. A couple of others 50 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: out today, Property for Ministry, steal and Tube Somerset all 51 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: online and they were just noting a bit of a 52 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: caution around the recovery in the border of New Zealand economy. Tomorrow, 53 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: I've got Media Company in Adme, Tourism Holdings, the Victor 54 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: of Vulcan Steel Wednesday, Meridian Precinct Properties Scales and then 55 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: Thursdays you say in New Zeon and Heartland groups. So 56 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: assuming another bunch of companies, some exposed to domestic economy, 57 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: some less so. But you know, with fingers christ we 58 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 2: might be seeing the bottom of the evenings downgrade cycle 59 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: for New Zealand. 60 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, here's hoping.
