1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Doug Chrisner. Here are the stories we're

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: following today, and we begin with Apple. Those shares suffered

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: a downgrade today for the second time this week, Piper

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Sandler cutting Apple to neutral. The bank cited a weak

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: macro environment in China, saying that that will damp and

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: demand for iPhones. It was only on Tuesday that Barclays

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: lowered its rating on Apple shares. We spoke with Jay

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Woods earlier. He is the chief Global strategist at Freedom

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: Capital Markets. He gave us his outlook on Apple moving forward.

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 2: Two downgrades to kick off the years, not how you

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: want to start things. We'll see how it cycles through

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: the earning season. Over the long term, yeah, I don't

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: worry about Apple, but the day to day for the

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: day traders. Yeah, he could pull back a little bit.

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: Watch it two inner day moving averages support, but over

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: the long term it will find another like high.

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: He is Jay Woods from Freedom Capital Markets. Now Bloomberg

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Data show. Coming into this year twenty twenty four, Apple

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: was the big tech stock with a least number of

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: bullish recommendations. Apple is also the only tech giant to

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: see revenue contract for the past four quarters. Apple shares

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: today down about one point two percent.

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: Here in New York, Paul Qualcom has announced the new

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: chip designed for virtual reality headsets. The goal is to

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: compete with Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset, and Qualcom's

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: chip will be used by Samsung and Alphabet on products

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: under development. Bloombergsy and King says this will help Qualcom

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: expand their offerings.

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: They've promised investors that they will be more than just

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 4: a mobile phone chip company, and they're trying desperately for

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: you know, in a number of areas. None of them

32
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: are really taken off so far. Perhaps this is the one.

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 4: We're up to version two point five right now. Usually

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: for chip makers, version three is the one that is

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: going to win.

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: That is Bloomberg se and King there, Qualcomb shares closing

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: down about one percent in New York.

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: We go next to Ammer Sports. This company makes the

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: Wilson Tennant racket line. Along with Solomon Ski Boots. Amor

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: has now filed for an inch initial public offering here

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: in the US. That story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 5: According to a press release confirming in an earlier Bloomberg

43

Speaker 5: News report, amer has picked Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JP,

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 5: Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley as book running lead managers

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 5: of the share sale. Sources have said that amer is

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 5: targeting an IPO of more than one billion dollars and

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 5: a listing could value the firm as much as ten

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 5: billion dollars. The Finland founded company is banked by China's

49
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 5: largest athletic apparel producer and a sports products in New York,

Speaker 5: Charlie Pellett Bloomberg Radio.

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: The Federal Reserve Bank of Saint Lewis has named its

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: new president. We've got all from Bloomberg's Michael.

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 6: McKee Alberto Mussalam. He is a PhD economist and has

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 6: worked on Wall Street for a significant amount of his career,

55
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 6: also at the IMF and also at the New York Fed.

56
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 6: He was most recently the executive chair at the Man

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 6: Group and a member of the board at Freddie Mack.

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 6: He says he'll resign those two positions. He was the

59
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 6: CEO of Evin's Asset Management, and he was a managing

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 6: director and partner at Tutor Investments. Broad Wall Street background

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 6: and it looks like some experience at the Fed. So

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 6: he has straddled both worlds.

63
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: That's Bloomberg's and Michael McKee, Muslim will take over at

64
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: the Saint Louis fed on April the second, and he,

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: of course succeeds Jim Bullott. He's now the dane of

66
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: Purty University's Business School.

67
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: Ten Cents spybacks have now hit a record high. That

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: story from Bloomberg's Joanne Wong.

69
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 7: In Hong Kong, ten Cent boughtbacker record one point three

70
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 7: billion dollars of shares in December. The pace of the

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 7: buybacks accelerated further this month after Beajing surprised investors with

72
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 7: a raft of new regulations and triggered a broad tech

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 7: sell off. Daily repurchases more than doubled since the new

74
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 7: roles were announced on December twenty second. The controversial regulations

75
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 7: include caps on in game spending and a ban on

76
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 7: rewards for frequent lock ins. These rules brought back fears

77
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 7: that China was reverting to a tech crackdown similar to

78
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 7: that and twenty twenty one in Hong Kong joined Wong

79
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 7: Bloomberg Radio.

80
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Let's move to Global news next, and we begin with

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: the Islamic state taking responsibility for those deadly bombings in Iran.

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: Dan Schwartzman's here, Denny.

00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 8: the grave of Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Cassam Solimani, who

87
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 8: was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq back

88
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty. According to the state run Islamic Republic

89
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 8: News agency, one bomb was planted in a suitcase, the

90
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 8: other in a car, with the two detonating fifteen minutes apart.

91
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 8: Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln will be traveling to the

92
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 8: Middle East for a fourth time since Hamas's October seventh

93
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 8: attack on Israel as a US looks to keep the

94
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 8: war from spiraling into a regional conflict. Blncoln will visit

95
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 8: eight countries, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey. Blincoln

96
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 8: is looking to facilitate more aid getting to Palestinians in Gaza,

97
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 8: while also conferring with Israel on the next phase of

98
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 8: their war versus Hamas. Police say a seventeen year old

99
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 8: shot and killed a sixth grader and wounded five others

100
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 8: in an Iowa school shooting. That story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.

101
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 5: Students had to barricade in offices, many fled in panic.

102
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 5: The suspect is a student at the school in Perry.

103
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 5: Authority say he died of what investigators believe was a

104
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 5: self inflicted gunshot wound. At least one of the victims

105
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 5: was a school administrator. Perry has about eight thousand residents

106
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 5: and is about forty miles northwest of Des Moines, on

107
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 5: the edge of the state capitals metropolitan area. Charlie Pellett,

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 5: Bloomberg Radio.

109
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 8: Thanks Charlie. New York City Mayor Eric Adams announcing the

110
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 8: city is suing seventeen bus companies for a total of

111
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 8: seven hundred and eight million dollars. Adams says the companies

112
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 8: have violated state law by not helping to pay the

113
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 8: cost to care for the migrants after bussing them from Techis.

114
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 8: So far, almost thirty four thousand migrants have been bussed

115
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 8: from Texas to New York. A report from House Democrats

116
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 8: says that former President Donald Trump ow owns hotels owned

117
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 8: hotels received at least seven point eight million dollars in

118
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 8: payments from more than twenty countries, including China and Saudi Arabia,

119
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 8: during a two year stretch of his presidency. The Democrats

120
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 8: say that those payments violate the Constitution's Foreign m A

121
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 8: Lumence Clause, which prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts or

122
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 8: money from foreign governments without Congress's permission. The payments were

123
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 8: made to Trump hotels in New York, Washington, and Las Vegas.

124
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 8: Around forty six hundred soldiers, firemen, and emergency personnel are

125
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 8: making a last ditch effort to find survivors after the

126
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 8: New Year's Day earthquake in Japan. The seven point six

127
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 8: magnitude quake killed at least forty eight people, with at

128
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 8: least another fifty or more people who have yet to

129
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 8: be accounted for. Thirty thousand residents of the region close

130
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 8: to two hundred miles northwest of Tokyo are still without power.

131
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 8: Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you

132
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 8: want it with Bloomberg News Now Schwartzman, and this is.

133
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. We're about ten minutes past the hour

134
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: now as we bring in our guest Edward Harrison. He

135
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: is Bloomberg team leader for FX and Rates for the Americas.

136
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: He joins us from here in New York, ed thanks

137
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: for being with us. I think we have to begin

138
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: with the employment report that we're going to get tomorrow

139
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: morning in the US, the numbers for December. I was

140
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: struck by the fact that Bloomberg Economics is saying the

141
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: data will likely show strength only in concentrated pockets of

142
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: the US labor market and perhaps reveal some weak underlying fundamentals.

143
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: Is that a pretty accurate assessment, do you think?

144
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 9: Yeah?

145
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 10: I think that what we've seen is a weakening in

146
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 10: the labor market, but ever so slightly, it hasn't been

147
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 10: broad based enough to know on an individual print level

148
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 10: what these specific reports are going to say, meaning that

149
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 10: you know this it could go either way in terms

150
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 10: of this particular report. We haven't had a interior raise

151
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 10: enough in the broader labor market to be able to

152
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 10: say with any certainty, and so that leaves the bond

153
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 10: market in particular on tenor hooks about what could possibly

154
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 10: come out tomorrow.

155
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the job is myket holding up quite well? What

156
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: are the implications here for FED policy going forward.

157
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 10: I think that what we're seeing with regard to growth

158
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 10: two point five percent is the GDP now figure for

159
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 10: Q four is an excess of where they would feel

160
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 10: they would want to cut. And so you know, if

161
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 10: this job's report isn't it isn't very negative, then I

162
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 10: think it means for the FED that they're going to

163
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 10: be on hold for a longer period of time. The

164
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 10: bond market has March as the first cut. There's a

165
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 10: sixty two percent chance according to the swaps market, but

166
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 10: really that's very aggressive relative to you know, the state

167
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 10: of the economy at this point, and so I think

168
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 10: the Fed is probably looking to cut later than that

169
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 10: unless we see this number.

170
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 9: Undershoot expectations.

171
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: So yesterday we were looking at the minutes of the

172
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: last FED meeting, and I think one of the takeaways

173
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: higher for longer, maybe the market to kind of lost

174
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: track of that, at least temporarily, when you look at

175
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: the fact that perhaps some of these higher rates have

176
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: the total impact has yet to be fully felt. What

177
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: does that mean for momentum as we move into twenty

178
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: twenty four.

179
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 10: I think that you know, the Fed, it means for

180
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 10: the FED in particular that we're going to be on hold,

181
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 10: and therefore they're looking for the momentum of the economy

182
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 10: to slow.

183
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 9: Two point five percent.

184
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 10: Which is what we see for the data that we

185
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 10: have currently through Q four, that's too fast. They think

186
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 10: that it's going to slow from there. We had about

187
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 10: five percent in Q three. We're at about two to

188
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 10: two and a half percent.

189
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 9: For Q four.

190
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 10: They think it's going to slow if it goes below

191
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 10: say one point eight percent, which is the level that

192
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 10: the FED thinks is, you know, the the the economic

193
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 10: potential for the economy, then as long as inflation comes down,

194
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 10: we could actually get some rate cuts. But until we

195
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 10: get to those levels, it's gonna be very They're gonna

196
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 10: be on hold. And so the economic momentum is waning,

197
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 10: but it may not wane enough for the Fed to

198
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 10: act very aggressively.

199
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are the signals around inflation at the moment

200
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 3: and hitting that target.

201
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 10: Pend Yeah, the signals are that we have goods inflation

202
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 10: going down. We have the overall the normal overall level

203
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 10: of inflation going down as a result of that, as

204
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 10: well as energy and food, but core services is not

205
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 10: coming down to the same level. We're in a three

206
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 10: ish almost four percent level for the super core services number,

207
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 10: and that's way too high for the Fed. We need

208
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 10: to see that number come down by a lot for

209
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 10: the FED to feel comfortable that inflation is coming back

210
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 10: to trend very quickly.

211
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: So there were many calls last year that we were

212
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: going to see a recession manifest in Q four. Obviously

213
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. The narrative that the market has been

214
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: operating under right now has to do with the soft landing.

215
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: Have we completely dodged the possibility of a recession? Do

216
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: you think ed?

217
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 9: No?

218
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 10: I think that actually what we need to see is

219
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 10: is we need to see the market say that actually,

220
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 10: no recession is coming for the recession to actually come

221
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 10: to fruition, because you know, this has been the recession

222
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 10: that has been watched and anticipated like no other, and

223
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 10: only now are people saying, Okay, we've given up, the

224
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 10: recession is not going to come. That's actually the sign

225
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 10: that you know, we could get a recession, because you

226
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 10: need to have that surprise for these kinds of things

227
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 10: to happen.

228
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 3: We've got the US dollar continuing to strengthen five days

229
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: in a row now doesn't really seem to be buying

230
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: into this narrative coming from other parts of the market

231
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: that we're going to get a whole heap of rite

232
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: cuts in twenty twenty four.

233
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 10: No, I think that really what's happened is is we

234
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 10: went to access on rates up to five percent. Then

235
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 10: we backed away from that very aggressively at the end

236
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 10: of last year, too aggressively in fact, and now the

237
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 10: market is in a quandary as to what does it

238
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 10: really mean. This particular jobs number is going to be

239
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 10: very important in terms of.

240
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 9: That because we've seen the rates market.

241
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 10: Sell off somewhat and the dollar has followed that path higher.

242
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 10: And when we see this number, if the number is

243
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 10: actually better than expected, we could see a very nasty

244
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 10: backup and yields in the treasury market tomorrow. So this

245
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 10: is a very important number. It's going to tell us

246
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 10: whether or not there is any possibility that the Fed

247
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 10: can cut as early as March, which is what's priced in,

248
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 10: And if we don't see some softness in the labor market,

249
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 10: then it tells us that the Fed's not going to

250
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 10: cut as early, and we could see a very aggressive

251
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 10: reaction as a result of that.

252
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: So we're talking about an economy that's losing a bit

253
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: of a moment momentum, and that recession is possibly still

254
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: in the cards. I'm wondering what that means about the

255
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: equity market. I mean, at the end of last year

256
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: we saw some very very powerful gains. Toward the last

257
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: week of twenty three and the first trading week of

258
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: the new year, things have been a little rocky, But

259
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: I think you would have to say that the equity

260
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: market has held up reasonably well. Do we need to

261
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: see a repricing of risk assets right now?

262
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 10: Well, you know, it is interesting that were you were

263
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 10: just talking about Apple right before I came on. I

264
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 10: was looking at the PE ratio for Apple, which is

265
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 10: about twelve point four percent at the end of twenty eighteen.

266
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 10: It rocketed up to over thirty percent in twenty twenty,

267
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 10: and it stands now at about thirty thirty times. So

268
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 10: we're looking at thirty times earnings for Apple, which is

269
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 10: not growing tremendously well, versus twelve times at the end

270
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 10: of twenty eighteen.

271
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 9: Which was five years ago.

272
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 10: So in the last five years, even though interest rates

273
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 10: have gone up somehow, Apple, the same company, which is

274
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 10: valued much more highly, has a PE ratio much higher.

275
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 10: That tells you that the Magnificent seven, those stocks like Apple,

276
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 10: they're richly valued, and unless the economy continues to chug along,

277
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 10: you could see some air pockets in the equity market.

278
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and as we've been reporting, we had to pop

279
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: a sandllite cutting it's writing to neutral on Apple. Well,

280
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: we got about thirty seconds remaining. What can we expect

281
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: in terms of earnings in twenty twenty for do you

282
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: think I.

283
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 10: Think that the market is pricing in a very high

284
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 10: level of earnings going up, and likely we're not going

285
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 10: to meet that. Unless the economy powers forward, You're not

286
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 10: going to be able to see the FED cutting and

287
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 10: getting the number of cuts that we have in there

288
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 10: and the earnings at the same time.

289
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 9: One of those two has to give.

290
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: We'll leave it there with Ed Harrison, and it's always
