1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: Ye, Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane Jailey. 2 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: We bring you insight from the best in economics, finance, investment, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course on the Bloomberg. We 5 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: begin a good, good two days of coverage out at 6 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Jackson Hall. We are thrilled Michael McKee and Kathleen As 7 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: are there and is always the host of these Kansas 8 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: City meetings. Within their district is Wyoming and Jackson Hall. 9 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: Here is the president of the Kansas City fed Esther George. 10 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: The economy is doing well and based on what I 11 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: see today, I think two more rate hikes this year 12 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: could be appropriate. But I so am mindful that's not 13 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: a commitment that each meeting you have to reassess and 14 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: understand what are you seeing in the data, what are 15 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: you hearing from your constituents that you talked to UH 16 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: and make the decision at that time. So hopefully everything 17 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: holds together as we get to the end of the 18 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: Would you see that the committee is coalesced around that view? Now? 19 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: Is that a strong consensus? So? I think if you 20 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: look at the dot plot which the committee puts out. 21 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: You read the minutes, you read the statement that's come out, 22 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: um it would suggest that there is a degree of 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: consensus around the state of the economy, but obviously within 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: that committee you are going to get differences on how 25 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: many rate hikes are appropriate at this stage. Earlier you 26 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: were worried about the pace of growth and inflation picking up, 27 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: concern that FED policy might have to move faster that 28 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: earlier in the year view. Is that what you're expressing 29 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: now or do you think this is going to have 30 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: to pick up even more when we get into so 31 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: based on what we see today, I don't think the 32 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: performance of the economy that we've seen and the way 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: inflation has performed, is argued for going faster or fundamentally 34 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: changing the course. But I think an upside risk would 35 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: be that we have procyclical fiscal policy happening at a 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: time when we have accommodated monetary policy, and so we 37 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: have to watch that risk and see how that unfolds. 38 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: When you think about dots, have you penciled in a 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: number of rate hikes between nineteen Well, I'm obligated to 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: pencil in a number of rate hikes Whether those will 41 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: come about, it's always harder, as you know. I can 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: see maybe the next quarter, the next two looking into 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen will be a function of whether this economy 44 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: continues to perform. As we have an estimate you allowed 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: to share with us, so I could see if getting 46 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: back to somewhere in the neighborhood of a three percent 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: neutral rate, which is how I think about the long 48 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: run neutral rate, would suggest that we need to make 49 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: several more moves next year. Two. Okay, I'm glad you 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: raised the question of the neutral rate because there seems 51 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: to be a very interesting discussion within the form C now, 52 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: not just about where the neutral rate is, but how 53 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: you use it. Do you get to neutral all your 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: view of neutral and stop, or do you say I 55 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: got to go a bit further and make sure we 56 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: don't have an inflation issue now. So this is will 57 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: be a big challenge for the committee. I call it 58 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: threading the needle, which is we've arrived at a point 59 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: where it will be important to judge whether our policy 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: is restrictive or still accommodative. And that will be a 61 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: function of looking at the data increasingly um and that's 62 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: why it makes it hard. This is not an observable benchmark. 63 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: If we could see it, then we could be more 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: clear about where that is. So I look to the consensus, 65 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: view the media, and view in that forecast to see 66 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: people are coalescing somewhere around two and a half to 67 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: three And we have to just be conscious that that 68 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: policy operates with a lag and to see how inflation, 69 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: employment growth in the economy unfolds. So do you put 70 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: yourself in the camp that says when we get to 71 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: three percent, I'm ready to pause and see what happens next. 72 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: So I don't know if they'll even be three. We 73 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: may see by the end of the year, depending on 74 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: how the economy unfolds. UH that we should always evaluate that. 75 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: So I take it a meeting by meeting approach Kathleen 76 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: to really try to judge how far and how fast 77 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: do we need to go. An annual kickoff to Jacksonville 78 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: can't convey the symbolism of that interview Kathleen has with 79 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: the President of Kansas City Fed MS George. The symbolism 80 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: of this meeting and the symbolism of that first interview 81 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: is profound. There is no one that can capture the 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: moments through the years of the importance of Jackson Hole. 83 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: That our Michael McKeough who joins us right now, Michael, 84 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: let me get a bear update first. The Saint Bear 85 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: cam up in Alaska, but it is the wilds of Wyoming. 86 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: Has has there been a bear sighting this year? We 87 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: have not seen a banner at Jackson Lake watche However, 88 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: I was in Montana the last couple of days and 89 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: day before yesterday was watching him grizzly. So there are 90 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: bears out here. I don't think they're invited to The 91 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: bears are certainly not invited to the conference with a 92 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: four percent run g d P. To go to the 93 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: papers first, I mean away from the chit chat. Is 94 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: there one paper that really stands out? Is there in 95 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: an anticipation of a certain academic and the importance of 96 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: twenty or forty pages, Uh not at this point. Um. 97 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: The interesting thing Tom about this meeting is the Kensie 98 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: tried to stay on top of issues that will be 99 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: facing central bankers in the years ahead, and they've got 100 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: a very good one this year. Market structure and the 101 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: implications for monetary policy, and that encompasses a lot of 102 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: things including electronic trading and dark pools and all that 103 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: sort of stuff, But it's not directly related to monetary 104 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: policy today. So we'll have to see what the papers 105 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: tell us about where economists think the whole market structure 106 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: is going. But the conference itself is not going to 107 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: produce any kind of consensus or any kind of uh 108 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: ah ha moment. You remember, I know, you know Michael 109 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: Woodber a couple of years he had a paper here 110 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: that was very influential about forward guidance, forward guidance. In 111 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: the minute yesterday, they're talking about perhaps they're going to 112 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: finally drop that and whether it worked or not. But 113 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: nothing like expected from this, particularly in John Farrell a 114 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: year ago or two years ago that the paper of 115 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 1: Marvin good Friend on negative interest rates had a heated 116 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: debate as well. Yeah, Mike, just to get to Friday 117 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: with these speech from Federal Reserve Chair J. Powell. All 118 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: we know so far discussing monosty policy in a changing economy. 119 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: What's expected from in tomorrow? We don't really know. You know, 120 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: this has been uh this committee, this meeting is I 121 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: think this is the forty second annual meeting, and forty 122 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: of them have had rather bland keynote speeches from FED 123 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: chairs or they're designated representative, and two of them from 124 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: Ben Burniki in two thousand nine and two felt the 125 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: stage for future FED policy action, and so the markets 126 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: really started to focus on what the chair says here. 127 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: And I suppose as Jay Powell could offer something that 128 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: we're not in crisis, and uh, it doesn't seem to 129 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: be a need for him to make news here, So 130 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: my guess is he won't, but there's always that possibility, 131 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: so you've got to pay attention. Yeah, Mike, it just 132 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 1: seems to me at the moment that we're not in crisis. 133 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: Were certainly not anything but the part of opposite, I 134 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: would say, But it does seem that we're moving towards 135 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: an inflection point in the mind of some strategist that 136 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: we speak to on a daily basis, waiting to see 137 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: if they slow down on rates or if they slow 138 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: down with the balance sheet. Where do you think the 139 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: focus lies right now with rates or on the balance sheets. 140 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 1: They're not going to change the balance sheet unless somebody 141 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: really really forces them to. If something happens, what you 142 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: might see is that they end the balance introduction a 143 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: little sooner. If we continue to see some of the 144 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: reactions that we have seen, because they may discover they've 145 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: always said that they're going to bring the balance sheet 146 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: down to the level needed to conduct effective voluntary policy 147 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: and keep the banking system operating well, and they may 148 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: need more reserves than they thought. Um, we're going into 149 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: the rection. But that's on autopilot. They don't want people 150 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: to see that as a tool of policy right now. 151 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: They want people to just let that run in the 152 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: background and focus on rates. Now, Michael, this is really important. 153 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: John Farrell, we're trying to get out to Wyoming only 154 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: if you you know, he's got to go out there 155 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: with you. Is he tough enough to do the static 156 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: Peak Divide hike? Or has John got to do the 157 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: string Lake Loup HiPE to get all that good scenery, 158 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: but you know it's an easier hike. What should he 159 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: be doing? Oh? I think he should do both, um, 160 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: And it's definitely worth it, and John John is definitely 161 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: strong enough for that. I'm like, yeah, who will not 162 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,599 Speaker 1: be mentioned, But I think if we put him in 163 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: a cowboy hat and boots, it'll be interesting to see 164 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: what he looks like. We'll take him to the rodeo. 165 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: I would do the rodeo would be a good look 166 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: for me. Can we just do the hike with a 167 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: helicopter and well, we take the ski. We took the 168 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: Sikorski when year out. But you know the altitude, it's 169 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: like serious, you're Mike, how how tall?

Jackson Hole with a bunch of interesting interviews now, 177 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: but overnight nine hours ago, the President tweets out on 178 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: South Africa. I have asked Secretary of State Pompeio to 179 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and 180 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. Quote. South 181 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: African government is now seizing land from white farmers unquote. 182 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: And he credits this observation from his watching h. Tucker 183 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: Carlson over at Fox News as well and then John Farrell. 184 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: The headline that follows on at one forty four in 185 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: the Bloomberg is something really I don't think I've ever 186 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: seen South Africa to summon US ambassador. Yeah, I don't 187 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: believe I've ever seen that. It's diplomacy has changed a lot. 188 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: It is a changed a lot. I'm a mombata in 189 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: our Johannisburg studio and joins us. Now I'm a give 190 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: us some color here on how the government is responding 191 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: to the presidential tweet. Well, we've seen responses from all 192 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: over government, not only from the ruling party itself and 193 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: the presidency, but as well as from a position parties 194 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: really speaking out against President Trump's tweet and some of 195 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: the moments that were made there. We know that the 196 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: Foreign Affairs Minister Induesta Sulu has said that she will 197 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: be um communicating directly with the US's um Secretary of 198 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: State on this particular tip tweet to get more clarity, 199 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: and as you mentioned that the US is acting investor 200 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: that Jesi Lapin has been summoned to meet with some 201 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: of the representatives from the Department of the International Relations 202 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: on clarity, but also to just outline some of the 203 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: comments that were were put out by President Trump earlier today, 204 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: Amma in Batha, South Africa Economics and Government reported joining 205 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: us from South Africa a remarkable situation, Tom, And it's 206 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: just sort of makes you quite concerned about stirring up 207 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: the emotions of the apartheid in the same way the 208 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: Germans are very concerned about stirring up the emotions of 209 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: the nineteen But investors, for the people watching us, who 210 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: aren't watching Red Sox baseballer Manchester United, the fact is, John, 211 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: the news flow, the dynamics of this new technology of 212 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: news is stunning that we would have a tweet like 213 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: that from any president. It's out of judgment of this president. 214 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean, what does the next president do? Do they 215 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: tweet as well? What I will say, Secretary Pompey was 216 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: getting a taste of what Secretary Tillison had to deal 217 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: with exactly. Why don't you bring who has some important 218 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: perspectives and and just to talk to you, not as 219 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: an effect strategist, but someone from South Africa walk me 220 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: through just how delicate this kind of situation is. Um, yes, 221 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's it's, as you say, delicate 222 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: on almost every level. Insomuch as you know, historically UM 223 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: land was disproportionately allocated to white under their Part eight regime, 224 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: and you know they um, you know, so called Buntu 225 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: stan type UM misappropriations of land really were you know, 226 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, really being allocated to white 227 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: farmers in particular was seen as a big part of 228 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: the legacy of a partid So you have that on 229 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: the one side, and of course then you have you 230 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: know what you have more recently, as a number of 231 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: white farmers have been killed as was mentioned in the tweet. 232 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: Although you know this is not no one's saying this 233 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: is orchestrated by the Government's just a very high crime 234 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: rate in South Africa. But beyond that, I think it's 235 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, there's a certain sense that um a lot 236 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: of white South Africans and say, oh we now marching 237 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: down the road that Zimbabwe went down in terms of 238 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: its attempts at land reform, etcetera. So UM, look, I 239 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: think history has shown that land reform is a very tricky, 240 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: very very tricky thing to implement in a successful way. UM. 241 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: I would say the modern economy would tend to downgrade 242 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: the importance of land in terms of broader income distribution. Um, 243 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: you know, the agriculture as a share of GDP is 244 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: tending to fall globally. It's becoming less important in the 245 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: new economies of this world really in a sense. So 246 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: in that sense, you know, maybe there's a little bit 247 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: more hope. I want to ask you this question now. 248 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: Is the co head of fect strategy at Deutsche Bank. 249 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: It was quite interesting to see the effects reaction to this. 250 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: I know we have a strong dollar story in the 251 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: m effects this morning, but quite clearly the rand was 252 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: the underperformer through the morning. Why is the South African 253 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: rand reacting to this? Well, we don't know really know 254 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: where this is all going, all right, So we don't 255 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: know is this an isolated tweet or is there something 256 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: at the US perhaps will take more seriously, um, you know, 257 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: will impact South Africa trade with the US. These are 258 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, open questions when we presume not. But it's 259 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: not a total given really, And I said, if you 260 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: said to me twenty four hours ago, would we even 261 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: be talking about this with would this even be a 262 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: factor of any sort, I'd say absolutely not. And I'm Ruskin, 263 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: it's going to have you with us this morning. Thanks 264 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: Africa Deutsche Banks Global co head of Fax Strategy. Right now, 265 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: Francisco Blanche with US and what's so great about his 266 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: research and Bank of America Mary Lynch. Is it so 267 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: holistic across all of commodities, Francisco is an opening comment? 268 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: What are your most focus on now with the metals, 269 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: the soft oil, the rest of it? What has the 270 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Francisco Blanche attention? Um, hey, Tom, thanks for having me 271 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: once again. UM. We are we are pretty focused on 272 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: on US policy right now. I mean we think US 273 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: policy is really driving the entire commodity complex. On one hand, 274 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: you have sanctions on Iran which are about to kick 275 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: in in the next couple of months. At the same time, 276 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: we have this whole trade trade war going on. Where 277 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: is the prices of soybeans and in the US versus 278 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: Brazil have have widened pretty dramatically because of the retailiation 279 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: and actions by China. Um and and honestly, the other 280 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: issue that's really uh a great area of focus is 281 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: what's happening to interest rates right I mean, that's really 282 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: knocking down the price of gold, the continued escalation in 283 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: US rates. So the commority complex is very influenceable right now. 284 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: Was himinating from Washington. Okay, but is gold Is it 285 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: a new gold? Is the calculus of gold, the dynamics 286 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: of gold. Is it like it's always better? Is it 287 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: a whole new beast? Now? You know, I think it's 288 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: like it's always been. Golds never responded well in environments 289 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: of rising rates and a strong dollar, and we are 290 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: getting exactly just that. Um. If you remember earlier in 291 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: the year, we had a weaker dollar environment, we had 292 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: the euro going into the one range, and we've retraced 293 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: pretty dramatically down to one fourteen and back to one 294 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: fifteen the last couple of days. But but effectively, um, effectively, 295 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: the the strength of US or has has had a 296 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: pretty negative effect on the gold price. UM. The correlation 297 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: between effects and gold still very very high. Francisco. Given 298 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: the fact that you are focused on US policy, I 299 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: imagine all the strategies getting into a room, look at 300 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 1: looking at each other and shrugging their shoulders. I mean, 301 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: it's been very hard to sort of, uh came out 302 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: what the U S strategy is going to be. Have 303 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: you ever had such an uncertain backdrop given some of 304 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: the trade tensions, given the dollar that nobody can agree 305 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: on UH. Is this sort of uncharted territory for you. 306 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: I mean it is a little bit in territory story 307 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: in some ways, in some others. Remember, one huge change 308 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: in US policy at the last year was the big 309 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: tax changes that were pushed through UM and particularly the 310 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: corporate tax changes, which is have really beefed up the 311 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: stock market, the U S economy more worldly by by 312 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: basically putting more cash into into the hands of corporates. 313 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: And and and I mean clearly yes, I mean it's 314 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: it's been some degree with uncertainty, no doubt about it. 315 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: But but we were in a in an economy that's 316 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: growing up four percent. We're in the US. I think 317 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: the bigger question is how do the actions of the 318 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: Trump administration negatively impact others? Because the commodity complex UM 319 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: is highly interconnected to the to the world economy. So 320 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: we are focused on on U S policy and as 321 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: much as it is having spillower effects into China, which 322 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: as you know, is the main buyer of most commodities 323 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: except for maybe oil in terms of consumption basis UM. 324 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: But but but China is UH. The effects of the US, 325 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: the US various use policies on China are very very 326 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: important to us, and that's that's Frankly, if you ask 327 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: me what am I concerned about the next twelve months, Well, 328 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: I definitely concerned at US rates, about concerned about trade policy, 329 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: and uh, I'm also concerned about IRUN sanctions policy. But 330 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: I'm also very concerned about what was happening in China, 331 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: given how how how frail the Chinese economy could be 332 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: at this point before we run, what is your bet 333 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: then longer short? Where is the opportunity within all this um? 334 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: So we we still think that you don't want to 335 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: be too short oil in this environment. You want to 336 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: be more on the long side. We're calling for ninety 337 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: little oil for next year. We think wants to do 338 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: the tenons well for Brent w t I a litt 339 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: bit less. We think will be probably maybe eighty five. 340 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean we we see prices moving a 341 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: lot higher because as you remove the world's fourth largest 342 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: seller of oil or our producer of oil in the market, 343 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: which is you run UM, you're gonna have a pretty 344 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: big vacuum here. Shale can no longer respond as fast 345 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: as it was for the last couple of years because 346 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: of pipeline constractions, there's pipeline constraints. We we haven't invested 347 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: in MLPs. You follow the MLP story, the master than 348 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: the partnership investment in midstream has been a bit of 349 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: a disaster. We don't have infrastructure to move oil out 350 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: of the U S right now, out of the US 351 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: at the premier base, and it's getting trapped in there. 352 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: And we're not gonna solve that for another twelve eighteen months, 353 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: just as the as the oil from around gets removed in. 354 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: And look, I mean we we've had some risk and 355 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: emerging markets in Turkey, namely in Argentina, but doesn't infected 356 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: the entire emerging market uh scene yet once Once it does, 357 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: then I'm going to get more berrish. But for the 358 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: time being, we still get positive data points from the 359 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: emerging world. And that doesn't mean story. We gotta leave 360 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: it there. But we have to have you back to 361 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: talk to us about this higher price for oil. Francisco Blanchard, 362 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: Bank of America, Mary Lynch. But right now, let us 363 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: look at the unraveling of the ruble. Bring up the 364 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: chart a few words. A dollar ruble right now, the 365 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: incredible stasis the oil success perhaps of Russia coming out 366 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: of the cry is just very good. And then here's 367 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: the unraveling and now this new leg up in ruble 368 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: weakness as well, Rich eternal, Whether this is black rock 369 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: in London, Nina, shake of Raslusson joining US from Berlin 370 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: as well, Nina, I guess it becomes international relations at 371 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: one point. But the weaker Ruble doesn't seem to be 372 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: part of the Russian calculus, Is that correct? I think 373 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: that for Russia, I mean the economic It was quite 374 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: clear that the economic hit based on the sanctions starting 375 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: orchestrated by the EU and the United States was always 376 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: something that it could weather. Because fundamentally, what has shifted 377 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: since the invasion of Crimea by Russia is that Russia 378 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: has come back with a bang to the international negotiating table. 379 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: You know, it was frozen out by the Western allies 380 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: after the invasion of Crimea, and since then, you know, 381 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: Ukraine has kind of fallen off the international agenda. Russia's 382 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: involvement in Syria, Russian kind of interference in the United States, 383 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: but all across the European countries as well, means that 384 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: Russia is certainly a player that all countries have to 385 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: contend with, which is very interesting. Therefore that Michael had 386 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: a meeting with Putin here in Berlin just last week, 387 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: and she's seeing this increasingly as Europe's relationships with Donald 388 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: Trump goes increasingly, so she increasingly sees Putin as somebody 389 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 1: who has to be part of the conversation. Putin has 390 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: managed to make himself look statesman like next to Donald Trump, 391 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: rich eternal. I mean, let's go back to first principles here. 392 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: Is Russia a frontier economy? Is it an e M 393 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: economy or is it part of the G eight? So 394 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: Russia has been caught up in that I think the 395 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: volatility affecting many emerging markets over the last few months, 396 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: and that's been associated first and foremost with tightening financial 397 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: conditions and a rising dollar, which have exposed many markets 398 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: which have weaker fundamentals, weaker growth, larger external deficits. We've 399 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: then had a series of emerging market specific events, whether 400 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: it's in Turkey and Brazil and Argentina, which I think 401 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: I've had a significant knock on effect onto Russia. And 402 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: at the same time you're starting to see rising global 403 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: trade concerns and we've taught by the oil price earlier 404 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: being impacted and that's added to the impact on Russia 405 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: as well. So all these factors contributing to this foreign 406 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: exchange of volatility within the Russian market. In our view, 407 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: that's starting to create some opportunities. Actually in broader areas 408 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: of emerging markets, you've seen risk premium rise significantly. What 409 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: that What does that mean? It means cheaper valuations. I 410 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: mean investors being paid more for taking emerging market risk. 411 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: When when does that change? I don't know whether you 412 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: know there's going to be a catalyst where you kind 413 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: of feel comfortable so to take a position on some 414 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: of these weaker emerging markets. Wells right now we wouldn't 415 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: be stepping into some of the weaker areas with the 416 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: soft fundamentals. We don't see a immediate capitalyst for change. 417 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: But for long term investors, we do see very attractive 418 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: opportunities in those emerging markets which have been indirectly hit 419 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: by some of the capital outflows. Areas actually like China, 420 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: like India, and broadly Asia where you've seen money flow 421 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: out of emerging markets, not differentiating between those economies with 422 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: weak fundamentals and those with strong um I know Tom 423 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: actually has rubal charge. But I want to ask you 424 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: about dollar, because depending on what happens with dollar or 425 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: the outcome for these emerging markets can be very different 426 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: to their day. So the dollar has been playing a 427 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: critical role recently in the volatility within emerging markets. We 428 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: see the dollar continuing to rise going forward, but we 429 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: see that rise at a much more gradual pace. So 430 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: why is that. Well, first of all, we see that 431 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: the rising interest rates in the US, which has been 432 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: playing an important role driving the dollar higher, has been 433 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: to a large extent now priced into the market. We 434 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: see positioning towards the dollar, which was actually quite cautious 435 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this year, becoming now very long. 436 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 1: So the marketing that that strong dollar view is at 437 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: widely held consensus view of the market. Many invested the 438 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: position for continued dollar strength, and whilst the fundamentals continue 439 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: to point for the dollar to move higher, our view 440 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: is actually that's likely to be less aggressive and less 441 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: disruptive for emerging markets, but for investors in emerging markets 442 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: would still recommend hard currency right now. Wonderful Richard Tonal, 443 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: thank you so much for black Rock leadership. Thank you 444 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: so much to the rest of us and from Berlin 445 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: as well.
