7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: in Brent Shooty. He's the chief investment strategist over at

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management. They got two five billion dollars

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: in retail assets under management. Brent, I love the way

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: you guys have been writing about UM the market about

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: investors by dividing them into three camps. You've got the

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: too much camp worried about UM you know this inflationary boom,

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: the two little camp worried that I guess growth has peaked.

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: And then the too expensive camp UM that is concerned

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: about valuations. Let's start there, because we're so deep into

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the e UH season right now of the pe what's

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: your view on the value of the market. Well, to me,

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: value is a relative term, and so it's not an

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: absolute call. And so yes, stocks are more expensive, But

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: when you look at it compared to the alternatives the

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: tenure treagury, for example, at one fifty and change, they

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: still look cheap. In the nineteen twenty Times earnings does

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: not appear to be overly expensive, just given us back drop,

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: and I do think there aren't areas of the market

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: that are cheaper and they're going to benefit from still

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: strong economic growth. Things like small camps, things like value stocks.

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: I think those areas will do well in the coming

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: quarters as economic growth remains strong. So print does that

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: suggests that you're perhaps a little bit overweight those types

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: of reopening trades or cyclical trades, and perhaps a little

31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: bit underweight some of the more growthy technical areas or

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: healthcare are those types of things. Yeah, we've scared our

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: portfolio towards that direction, and so we were much more

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: overweight in that area post April of last year, and

35
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: we took it back a bit. But still in general,

36
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: we do think that even tying in the peak commentary,

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: I think economic growth is more like a plateau, and

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: it's all this talk about stag flash and I think

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: ignores the fact that economic momentment is still really strong.

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: So you have the six month annualized l a I

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: up thirteen point one per cent, which means there's a

42
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: lot of momentum still the economy. If you look at

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: the underlying fument fundamentals of the consumer, they are still

44
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: in fantastic shape. And so I think that as you

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: continue to see the economic growth remains strong, those areas

46
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: of the market do much better when economic growth is strong.

47
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: In here now technology is more of a secular grower. Um.

48
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: I just think it takes a little bit of pause

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: here to reflect the fact that you do have some

50
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: reopening going on, you do have some strength and cyclical

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: areas like energy stocks, and I think that's the way

52
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: that we're gonna move forward in the coming quarters. People

53
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: have been defining stagflation in ways that I never would

54
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: have thought of. Um. You know, as as a kid

55
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: who grew up in the seventies, I always learned it

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: was contraction in growth and uh and uh, you know,

57
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: runaway inflation, the likes of which we experienced around the

58
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: time of the oil shortages. Um, what we're what we're

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: hearing now is people are thinking growth is not going

60
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: to be enough, only three or four percent, which is

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: far from contraction, whereas inflation we're actually seeing measured at

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: more than five. Are you concerned about inflation? Does it?

63
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean I heard the term today persistent le transitory,

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: and I thought that was just there you go, Um,

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: are you concerned about inflation? Yeah, so this is something's

66
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: waning about and something we've been hedging against and actually

67
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: are recommending to own commodities and tips and have been

68
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: for some time. And so inflation to me, during this

69
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: cycle is going to be more of a worry. So

70
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: you think about the last economic cycle, we woke up

71
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: every day and we wondered about deflation. I think this

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: cycle is going to be the opposite, because policy makers

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: are going to continue to push on demand. The question

74
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: will be can supply keep up with it? Right now?

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: I do believe this is transitory, but my definition, I

76
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: think is perhaps a bit different than others. They think

77
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: of transitory only as time. I think of it as

78
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: what is the underlying root cause? And to me, you

79
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: still have labor markets black, you still have manufacturing capacity

80
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: slack that I think will come into the into kind

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: of the forefront. Here. You're going to see people have

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: to come back to work because extended unemployment benefits are ending. Um,

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna see some of these supply chains begin to heal.

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: You're seeing some actions right now being taken to do so,

85
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: and certainly it's going to stick around for a while.

86
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: But I don't think this has got the permanent type,

87
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: because I do think that as covid um cases hopefully

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: continue to roll over, I think you'll see ports open

89
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: more often. I think some of the supply chains will

90
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: come back to normal. You're certainly going to see a

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: push back more from the good side, which is what

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: is imported back to service sector spending, as people come

93
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: back on public once again. I'll give you an anecdotal

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: point on inflation. A gallon of gas in New York

95
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: City now is north of five dollars. That's the first

96
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: time that's been there in about seven years. So, uh,

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: that's inflation for a lot of folks that are looking

98
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: to fill up their car. So, Brent, talk to us

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: about the Federal Reserve here. You know, a lot of

100
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: observers I think, say, hey, this Fed has done a

101
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: pretty darn good job here. Are you confident that this

102
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: that is going to navigate this tapering and these rate

103
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: increases in a way that a week, you know, not

104
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: shocking on a negative basis to the markets. Yeah, I mean,

105
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: I think that's where they're lined up. They want to

106
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: try to do everything that possibly can to get more

107
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: economic growth and to get those people that are still

108
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: in the sidelines back into the labor market. And I

109
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be as patient as they possibly can be.

110
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: You're seeing that right now. And it's funny you mentioned

111
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: talking about Hockey she Fed. I've heard that term a

112
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: few times. I heard it used yesterday for someone who

113
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: moved their rate hikes into November of next year. Yeah,

114
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: that's hardly hawkish. Um, You're talking about a FED that

115
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: put on a sheet of paper and I know it's

116
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: just the dot plot. They put one point seven is

117
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: their medium expected rate at the end of If inflation

118
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: is two point one, then that means we're still gonna

119
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: have negative real rates in which is still stimulative. Now

120
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: that's not a promise by any means, but I don't

121
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: I do think it shows that the FED, despite all

122
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: the talk that's out there right now, is going to

123
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: do everything that possibly can to be measured in patient.

124
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: And they certainly have a viewpoint towards the market because

125
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: remember at the zero bound, the way they impact the economy. Um,

126
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: they don't have much downside for room to lower rates.

127
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: Where they impact it is by um lowering treasury yields

128
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: longer term, which pushes people towards equities. And so certainly

129
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: if you think back to nineteen, they were expecting to

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: hike three times and they lower grip three times, not

131
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: because their forecast changed, but because they quote unquote, we're

132
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: listening to the market, all right, Brent, thank you so

133
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: much for joining us. Always appreciate getting your perspective. Brent Shooty,

134
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: chief investment strategists for Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, joining us

135
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: on the phone from Milwaukee, giving us his thoughts, continuing

136
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: to be bullish on these markets going forward, and again

137
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: major move up in the markets today, the S and

138
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: P up one point three. This is Bloomberg. We've still

139
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: got a lot coming up in the program. Liz Young

140
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: joins us chief investment strategists from Sophi to get us

141
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: her market outlook and investment strategy. And what a day

142
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: to do it on as I was saying Liz or earlier,

143
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: the best day that we've had in markets since July.

144
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: Because the E is rising in the price earnings ratio.

145
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: What's your outlook in terms of value valuations. Yeah, hi,

146
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to be here. Um, it's a great

147
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: day in the market. I actually just came out with

148
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: a column today that says my outlook for the fourth

149
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: quarter is maybe not quite as rosy. So as much

150
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: as I love a rally in the markets, especially a

151
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: day like today where we've had quite a few days

152
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: of down or maybe flat markets, UM, it's nice to

153
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: see this, and especially after we get positive earnings news.

154
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: So um outlook though into the end of the year.

155
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Here a couple of points I would make. We made

156
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: our most recent high on September two in the S

157
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: and P and we haven't seen another new high since then.

158
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: So this is actually a pretty long stretch, um, that

159
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: we've gone without a new high. Relatively speaking, We're used

160
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: to hitting new highs. It seemed like on a weekly

161
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: basis for a while there, so we've we've had a

162
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: longer stress to without a new high, and I don't

163
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: think that we're going to see another new one into

164
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: the end of the year. But that does not mean

165
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: that we are going to be negative. So if we

166
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: just look at some of the numbers here, if we

167
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: and the SMP went back down and just kind of

168
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: sniffed at the two day moving average. That would be

169
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: about five and a half percent from where we are

170
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: right now. Even if we ended the year at that

171
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: two d day moving average, we'd still be up about

172
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: eleven for the calendar year. So this has been a

173
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: tremendously strong year. It's been. It was a tremendously strong

174
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: first half and then obviously a rotation, but still a

175
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: strong summer. So a lot of the games have happened

176
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: in the earlier part of the year. I think that

177
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: there are some headwinds in the market, the first of

178
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: which is that we do have a little bit of

179
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: a slowing and momentum on that macro data. We've seen

180
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: a lot of GDP forecasts be revised downward. We have

181
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: earnings coming in reasonably strong. But I think what we're

182
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: going to start hearing once we get past these bank

183
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: earnings is from the companies that are dealing with supply

184
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: chain issues, that are dealing with inflationary issue you that

185
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: maybe they haven't entirely passed through yet, and they're dealing

186
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: with labor shortages. And the big issue that I think

187
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: we're going to face this year that's different from last

188
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: year is that in the title of my column this

189
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: week is no ace left in the hole, is that

190
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: we don't have a catalyst on the calendar. So last

191
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: year we got past the presidential election, that was a positive.

192
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: We got really positive vaccine news about a week after that,

193
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: another huge positive that drove a market rally. I don't

194
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: know that we're going to have a catalyst like that

195
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: this year, Liz. You know, you mentioned how we're hitting,

196
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, seemingly new highs on a daily basis a

197
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: little bit earlier in this in this quarter here, it

198
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: feels like for a lot of the bulls, they come

199
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: back and they're just saying, basically, this is a market

200
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: that just has to move higher or will move higher

201
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: because there really are no other places to put meaningful

202
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: capital to work. That that's not a very rigorous analysis,

203
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: but boy, it certainly seems to be right on many days.

204
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: But you're not buying that, are you? No? I mean

205
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I am buying that. And so I want to be clear,

206
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: even if we don't hit new highs and to the

207
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: end of the year, I'm not saying get out of equities,

208
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: because that's absolutely true. There isn't another good option. And

209
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: even if the ten year rises up, let's say it

210
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: goes above two, it's still not that good of an

211
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: option compared to equities because you don't have price appreciation

212
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: potential that matches that of the equity market. And even

213
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: a ten year yielding two isn't that much above a

214
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: lot of dividend paying stocks. So you can still get

215
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: dividends in the equity market and more price potential in

216
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: the equity market. I absolutely think that that's where investors

217
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: should be. I just think that we've seen much of

218
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: the strong gains for the year already this year. So

219
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: if you're an investor and you have money on the sidelines,

220
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: if you have cash on the sidelines, then the question becomes, Okay,

221
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: if the question isn't should I put it in stocks?

222
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you should put it in stocks, But

223
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: then the question is where in stocks? Right? And what

224
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: I would say to that is, let's say we go

225
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: down a little bit further from here. Who knows what

226
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: the pattern is going to look like. But if if

227
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm right and we go down a little bit further

228
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: from here, and then we have maybe a mediocre bounce

229
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: into the end of the year, I think it is

230
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: those cyclical sectors that are going to lead in that bounce.

231
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: So here's another This is I don't want to get

232
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: too in the weeds here, but if you look at

233
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: what's happened through summer and rallies that were driven through summer,

234
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: they were really driven by those big cap tech stocks,

235
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: or at least the the top heavy part of the

236
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: SMP five hundred. If those aren't the stocks that are

237
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: leading us, all the other stocks have to work a

238
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: lot harder in order to bring the overall index up

239
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: because they make up a smaller percentage. So if those

240
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: cyclical sectors do well into the end of the year,

241
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: it's still going to feel like a lot of hard

242
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: work to get there. But I would be looking at financials,

243
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: I'd be looking at industrials, I would be looking at

244
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: dividend paying stocks, because there is some inflation protection built

245
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: in in the overall market, and we just got about

246
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: thirty seconds left. I don't want to take your Garth

247
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: Brooks quote too far, but if all your cards are

248
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: on the table and you've got no ace left in

249
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: the holes, I mean, we don't have to worry about

250
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: too much volatility or start Garth quote as far as

251
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: you want. I've got Guarth quotes all day long. Um,

252
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: so I think I think there is more volatility that

253
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: would come. But here's the thing. Volatility is not a

254
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: bad thing. And volatility happens when we're going through a rotation.

255
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: So that the line about all my cards are on

256
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: the table, that's sort of there isn't any really big

257
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: positive news catalyst coming right. All we have to do

258
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: now is kind of trudge through the mud, hope that

259
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: earnings come in strongly and that nothing goes wrong. I

260
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: think the FED continues to taper and we have to

261
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: really hand the baton back to fundamentals. Liz, thank you

262
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. We really appreciate you taking

263
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: the time here, Liz Young, Chief Investment Strategists for so

264
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: far and reminding us about all of the great lyrics

265
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: from out of Brooks. I just you know, went through

266
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: back through what the Cattle when I was reading her notes,

267
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: and uh, the double live album is so good. I'm

268
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: gonna go back and listen to it later on. All right,

269
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: We had some Mr James Gorman on our radio and

270
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: TV airways just earlier this morning, and he generated a

271
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: lot of headlines on the Bloomberg terma. One of them

272
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: is he's not buying this whole inflations transitory thing so much.

273
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm want to bring that up with our

274
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: next guest, Pete Earl, economist at the American Institute for

275
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: Economic Research located in Massachusetts. So Pete again, James Gorman's

276
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: CEO of Morgan Stanley, kind of saying he's seeing some

277
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: more pronounced and profound inflation out there in the economy.

278
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: How do you see it? Good morning? Yeah, thanks for

279
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: having me, so um, yeah, I mean so so. First,

280
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: I find the whole transitory story a little irksome, to

281
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: be honest, because first, because we had Powell earlier this

282
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: year Chairman Palace that he didn't see any unwelcome inflation

283
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: in April, and he said we were likely to see

284
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: more pressure and they would be temporary. So it's a

285
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: somewhat self serving narrative at this point. But the more

286
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: important thing I think is that anyone who knows or

287
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: studied monetary economics knows that we have what are called

288
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: injection effects, right there can't a lot effects and other

289
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: um schools of beacon offers call them, and it means

290
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,119
Speaker 1: that the disproportioned impact that new money has makes permanent distortions.

291
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: So even if this inflation is transitory, whether that's in

292
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: three months or five years, the higher prices, paid, allocation decisions,

293
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: all that sort of thing and other outcomes are gonna

294
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: be baked in. They're gonna be permanent. Um. I'm way

295
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: more concerned if we're gonna bring up the ugliest word

296
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: in economics and one of the ugliest words in English,

297
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: stag inflation. I'm way more concerned about the inflation than

298
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: the stag you know, I'm totally feeling you that. Um.

299
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: The transitory thing was annoying, but it's also been a

300
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: gift for people interested in economics. I took a deep

301
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: dive into Kine's long run again the other day, UM,

302
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: just just for fun, because you know, in the long run, um,

303
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: everything is transitory. Also, Mohammad al Harrian pointed out today

304
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: that he hurt someone, um, someone serious say persistently transitory,

305
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: which I really appreciated. UM. On on the stagflation side

306
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: of things, Deutsche Bank had a great report out a

307
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: couple of days ago showing that UH clients had at

308
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: least three different definitions for what stagflation is how would

309
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: you define stagflation? Yes, I mean the basic definition is

310
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: again the really nasty portmanteau, is that we have stagnation,

311
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: which is of course slowing or negative growth, and we

312
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: have inflation, and there's a there's a I think there's

313
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: some pretty good arguments against stagflation occurring right now. Um,

314
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: but I also think that what stagflation looks like today

315
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: for those of us who were in my case of

316
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: kid in the seventies, you know, I don't think even

317
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: if we did have definition, uh, definitional stagflation, it doesn't

318
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: mean we're gonna see eighteen or twenty percent interest rates.

319
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean from here six percent interest rates are elevated

320
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: and growth of two point five percent is down. So

321
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's better, but it does mean that

322
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: I think people are looking at the seventies and they're

323
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: thinking of it the same way they think of disco

324
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: balls as they do. You know, the actual economic numbers,

325
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: it would look different. But um, basically, you know, right now,

326
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: households have and end businesses have very high levels of cash,

327
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: actually record levels in some cases, and publicly traded companies

328
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: have highest the highest operating margins they've had in almost

329
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: thirty years. Um. So both of those speak to a

330
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: level of savings and potential consumption that I think puts

331
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: the idea of slowing growth to rest, at least at

332
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: the at the current time. Pepe, how about some of

333
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: these global supply chain issues that so many companies in

334
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: so many different industries are experiencing. We hear them on

335
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: these quarterly conference calls, that the management teams talk about them.

336
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: How do you think that's going to impact global growth

337
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: in remainder of this year going into next year. Yeah,

338
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: so it's definitely a drag. But I mean, I think

339
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: what the recent step that was taken and I don't

340
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: I don't think it necessarily needed, um government devention, but

341
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: the fact that the ports are gonna be working seven

342
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: in many cases, um, some of the things being done

343
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: by private firms, which include buying fleets of aircraft, chartering

344
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: or purchasing ships. I think I think that right now

345
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: is the big link that will serve to to to

346
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: sort of relax some of these Uh, if you can

347
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: find anyone to work there, right Yeah. I mean, that's

348
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: that's the big issue, is that we have this great

349
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: reconsideration whereby people are saying that I really enjoy what

350
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: I was doing, you know, can I take some time off,

351
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: retrain myself whatever. I think that's that's an issue too,

352
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: And that's that's very difficult because that's not economics, that's

353
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: that's that's sociological, that's psychological. But I mean what we've

354
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: seen in the last two days and c p I

355
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: and p p I is really what we would would

356
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: expect um the retail prices, the the the five point

357
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: three percent year over here. I think most of that

358
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: it's not really monetary so much as it is shipping problems.

359
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: What we see in pp I and producers where you

360
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: have capital intensive industries where things are produced, they're seeing

361
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: actual inflation, you know, where you have four dollars competing

362
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: for the same number of things, whether it's materials, oil, etcetera.

363
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: That's where I think shipping containers. I think the monetary

364
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: part is shipping containers. Yeah, you know, in one case exactly,

365
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean the CEO Fastenal was talking about how thirty

366
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: five percent of their containers that would normally be sent

367
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: across the country by rail of the United States, that is,

368
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: have to be now manually offloaded and put on eighteen

369
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: wheelers and that quadruples the cost in some cases drives

370
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: it up six times where it would normally be. So

371
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was incredibly fascinating. Pete. Great to get

372
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: some time with you. I hope we can get you

373
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: back on again. Pete Earl is an economist for the

374
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: American Institute for Economic Research, coming to us from Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

375
00:18:52,359 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg. Certainly, the hardest working analyst at bloom

376
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: Bring Intelligence this week has to be Alison Williams, Senior

377
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: Global Banks Analysts. She joins us here in interactive Broker

378
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: studio in between bank earnings conference calls and Allison, tons

379
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: of companies reporting this week in your space. You know,

380
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: as I listened to some of the commentary from these

381
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: management teams, they've remain pretty confident in the outbook as well.

382
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: What are your takeaways they do? It's a strong quarter,

383
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: strong equities trading, huge M and A fees. Those are

384
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: sort of the highlights for the banks. And then on that, um,

385
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: you know the other side of the house and interesting

386
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: coming coming in line. I think there's sort of enough

387
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: to hope for in terms of um, you know, green shoots,

388
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: uh for loan's next year. There is some variation in

389
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: results of Bank of America. You can see trading positively today, um,

390
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: you know. And part of this is really just a

391
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: strategy and how they're managing their bound sheet there, you know,

392
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: deploying excess liquidity, so that's helping their not interesting come

393
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: a bit Jamie Diamond saying he's you know, waiting to

394
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: do that um, and so he has a excess cash

395
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: sitting there. So maybe just a little bit different strategies.

396
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? The point their liquidity

397
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: in terms of lending money not lending, so basically all

398
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: the money they have because no one's borrowing, so all

399
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: the money they have so key. So if you think

400
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: about their bounty, we have tremendous deposit growth, we've had

401
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: that since the pandemic began. Um. We don't have people borrowing.

402
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: So the cash can either sit there or you can

403
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: buy securities. So that the risk of doing the ladder

404
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: right is that you're taking duration risk. You're buying um

405
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: securities when rates are extremely low to get a little

406
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: bit of income, and so it can depend a little

407
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: bit on your interest rate views UM. And that also

408
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: takes away when we look at interest rate sensitivity. So

409
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: Bank of America traditionally has had a lot of exposure

410
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: to long rates rising. But because of their change in strategy,

411
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: you know, that's come down a little little bit, but

412
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: you're seeing it come through in the interest income. All right,

413
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: let's go to the area that's most near and dear

414
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: to my heart, which is are my friends on Walsh.

415
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: You're going to have a big pay day this year.

416
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: Let's like it. I mean, you know, first of all,

417
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: as I said, you know, the M and A fees

418
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: were talking record fees. I p O super strong. Competition

419
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: is very strong. So what we're um expecting is that

420
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: bankers are going to get paid, traders are going to

421
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: get paid. It's going to be a very good year

422
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: for compensation. And it's going to be a good year

423
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: next year. We're already looking at that. And so if

424
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: you think about the banks, actually last year they were

425
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: able to hold the compensation ratio down. A lot of

426
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: that was just because you know, the massive surge. A

427
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: lot of that was electronic trading. Um, I think a

428
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: lot of people did not expect, you know, this year

429
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: to be as good as it was, so um, you know,

430
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: perhaps there was everyone expected normalization that really hasn't happened.

431
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: Things have come in a little bit, but we're still

432
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: above where we were a couple of years ago. And

433
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: to the extent that there's still a positive outlook going forward. Um,

434
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: you know, that's going to keep the market competitive. Goldman

435
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: Sachs tomorrow, Um, what are you expecting? Goldman Sachs has

436
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: has a really high bar now, Um, I mean the

437
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: numbers were getting the read across should be really positive

438
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: right there. The leader in M and A revenue, they're

439
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: not always the leader on transactions, but they far outweigh everyone,

440
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, basically forever in terms of revenue, so that

441
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: bar is raised. JP Morgan is sort of the one

442
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: to beat there in terms of dollars, even though Morgan

443
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: Stanley had the biggest increase. Um. Uh, well Morgan Stanley

444
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: up there as well. And on the equity trading side, Uh,

445
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, go, you know, Morgan Stanley is the one

446
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: to beat there there. We expect they keep their lead

447
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: in this quarter, but Goldman could you know, take their

448
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: leadership for the year, which is something they haven't done

449
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: in a while. And so to some extent that sort

450
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: of bragging rights because they're both really big, they're both

451
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: profitable in that business, and as we talked about, compass higher.

452
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: But the returns this year because of the revenue surge,

453
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: are are really strong, and so um really raising the

454
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: bar in terms of expectations for Goldman Tomorrow Now, Alison,

455
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,960
