7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: He joins us here covers all the litigation for the media,

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: telecoms space for Bloomberg Intelligence and Nathan Deane senior policy

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: channels to Bloomberg Intelligence, both here in New York City. Matt,

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: let's start with you. I was surprised to see that

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: headline that the Supreme Court will hear the TikTok challenge

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: to the US ban. Give us your thoughts.

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 4: This is amazingly fast for the US Supreme Court. At

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 4: this point, only TikTok had filed a single brief, just

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 4: filing an application. Usually there's a process before the court

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 4: grants review. None of that happened here. The Court immediately

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 4: entered in order, saying, Okay, the deadline is January nineteenth.

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: We'll hear argument nine days before that January tenth. We

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: grant reviewed just on the stay, not just on the

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 4: pause of the law. We grant review on the whole case.

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,639
Speaker 4: We're going to take this up, this big First Amendment question,

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 4: first thing in January.

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 5: So what do you make of that?

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: I mean it's a good thing.

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: I think it's a positive sign for TikTok that the

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 4: superme why was it so fast?

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 5: What does that tell us about something?

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 4: I think the Supreme Court sees a very serious legal

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: issue that needs to be resolved quickly. You have the

30
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: President weighing in on this question and a deadline that's

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 4: looming January nineteenth of whether the ban is going to

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: take effect or not. So I think the Supreme Court

33
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 4: said we need to take this, we need to take

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 4: it fast. I don't think it necessarily means that TikTok

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: will prevail, though. I continue to think TikTok probably has

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: an uphill battle in persuading the justices that it's correct

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: on the First Amendment. But at least we know TikTok

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: will get the chance to present an oral argument.

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: To the justices.

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: Now in January, January tenth, they will present their argument.

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: How long do you think the Supreme Court will take

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: to then.

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: Rule on it?

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: Presumably before the nineteenth All of this is very unusual

45
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: for the Supreme Court. We are in strange territory here,

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: so I can't look at my statistics from all the

47
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: other cases. I do think the Court is going to

48
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 4: try to address this by January nineteenth. What they could

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 4: do is say, look, will lease you an administrative stay

50
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 4: to delay that January nineteenth deadline until we rule. But

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: I wouldn't expect a major delay on that front. I

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: think I think the Court will try to resolve this

53
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: close to the January nineteenth deadline.

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 6: Wow, I don't think I've ever ever heard of this

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 6: for a court that moves quickly, that's Supreme This is.

56
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 7: Like truly shocking.

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 6: It's unfair question, but like what's your best guess, like

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 6: knowing who's on the court, where they think, and how

59
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 6: they think about the First Amendment.

60
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I continue to think TikTok faces an uphill

61
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: battle with this Supreme Court when you look at how

62
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: the DC Circuit decided this on a unanimous basis, where

63
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 4: two of the three judges were Republican appointed, and now

64
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: you take that same decision to this Supreme Court. This

65
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: Supreme Court tends to nod its head in agreement with

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 4: the rulings of Naomi Rau and Douglas Ginsburg who decided

67
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: this case in overwhelming fashion against TikTok. So does it

68
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: mean TikTok has an impossible case? No, there's a chance

69
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: it could prevail here. This is a novel First Amendment question.

70
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: Lots of ways for the Supreme Court to rule for TikTok,

71
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: but I think it's uphill for TikTok. I think most

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: likely the Supreme Court says, you know what, the d

73
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: C Circuit got it right.

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: Yep.

75
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,640

88
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 5: All right, so what are the key points that you're

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 5: looking for?

90
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 8: So I'm going to be looking to see how measured

91
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 8: Powell's comments are and how enthusiastic or not he is

92
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 8: about the economy. I'm not so sure that we're going

93
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 8: to see as much bravado as.

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 7: We've seen lately.

95
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 8: The last time he was at the podium preceded the

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 8: latest release of the quarterly Senses of Employment in Wages,

97
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 8: which took down wage growth quite a bit. The last

98
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 8: time we made a dot plot in September, Powells said

99
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 8: the Fed is mentally adjusting payroll numbers.

100
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 7: Based on QCW.

101
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 8: I'm reading at Bloomberg headline there, and now we know

102
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 8: from the Philadelphia Fed after they crunched through the numbers

103
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 8: just degrees with Anna Wong's analysis, actually that pay losses

104
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 8: started in the second quarter of twenty twenty four.

105
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 7: We're in the weeds here. This is kind of our

106
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 7: cane stuff.

107
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 8: However, if the FED is going to be attentive to

108
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 8: what the Cleveland Fed is presenting, they expect shelter inflation

109
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 8: to decline from five percent. That process has already begun

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 8: to two percent year over year by the end of

111
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 8: twenty twenty five. If you pile on the fact that

112
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 8: it looks like payroll losses began in the second quarter

113
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 8: of twenty twenty four, these are elements that are going

114
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 8: to have been incorporated into many, many presentations around that

115
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 8: big oval table in the Echos building. These aren't things

116
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 8: that they can ignore. And economists, lifelong economists, they're used

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 8: to having to look into the rear view mirror. It

118
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 8: was five quarters before we knew that the first quarter

119
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 8: of two thousand and one or the first quarter of

120
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 8: two thousand and eight were actually negative GDP prints.

121
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 7: The GDP is the last to reflect these.

122
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 8: But if we know we're losing jobs as of April

123
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 8: of twenty twenty for the fed's talking about it.

124
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: So that would suggest to me your commentary that you

125
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: would think the Fed would be cutting into twenty twenty five,

126
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: because I think the market's been moving away from that.

127
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 3: A little bit.

128
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 7: The market has been moving away.

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 8: Bond traders have been moving in the opposite direction as

130
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 8: Bloomberg's been reporting here over the last twenty four hours

131
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 8: or so, And I think that he is going I

132
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 8: think Powell is going to really lean on we are

133
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 8: data dependent. Even with the positive revisions that we saw

134
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 8: come out of the latest non farm pay report, we

135
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 8: still had private job losses in the month of October,

136
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 8: despite the comeback that we saw after the Boeing strike.

137
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 8: Of course, those Boeing workers are all being let go

138
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 8: in the first quarter. We're seeing the same thing from

139
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 8: Stilantis and a lot of blood letting coming out of

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 8: the manufacturing sector that really has yet to let up.

141
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 7: We saw backlogs.

142
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 8: In S and P Global manufacturing in disees really fall

143
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 8: to their lowest level. Backlogs their a gauge of future demand.

144
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 8: That means that there's going to be more layoffs in.

145
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 7: The coming year.

146
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 8: The industrial recession is definitely starting to bleed into the

147
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 8: service's economy. We saw that with yesterday morning's New York

148
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 8: Services survey.

149
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: Sir, I thought the services were really good.

150
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 8: What I'm missing the headline SMP Global Services was good,

151
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 8: but if you look again, I refer back to the QCEW.

152
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 8: What SMP Global does not include in their services, which

153
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 8: is what ISM does, is construction, retail, mining, and wholesale

154
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 8: sales so once you cut those four critical cyclical sectors out,

155
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 8: you understand that you really are looking at apples and

156
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 8: oranges when you compare SMP Global.

157
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 7: Services to the United States.

158
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 8: To what ism is, which is a much more holistic read,

159
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 8: and it's been appreciably weaker, especially.

160
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 7: On that employment side.

161
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 8: But again, where have we seen weakness in services? That

162
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 8: would be construction, that would be retail.

163
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: Dot pots, we get some dots, dock dots go for

164
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg terminal users out there. I can see where the

165
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: dot pots, the dots are actually plotting out over the

166
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: next several periods. What should we look for there?

167
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 8: Well, I'll be looking for whether or not we're going

168
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 8: to stay at an anticipated potential for rate cuts in

169
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 8: twenty twenty five.

170
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 7: Of course, the question is going.

171
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 8: To be or there's going to be front loaded or

172
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 8: are they going to be trickled out across the year

173
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 8: one per every meeting with the summary of economic projections,

174
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 8: or will we see something possibly by January twenty ninth.

175
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 6: What I'm trying to understand is what would be a

176
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 6: good result for the market, so and how do we

177
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 6: categorize that? So like what decision today or what dot

178
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 6: plot gives us. I don't know a higher equity market

179
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 6: gives us lower yields.

180
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: If we call that a win.

181
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 8: I don't know that we necessarily call it a win

182
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 8: if we walk away after Powell's pressed this afternoon and say,

183
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 8: maybe they are.

184
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 7: Going to be lowering rates at the end of January.

185
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 6: So it's a kind of like, oh, data is not

186
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 6: so great. Therefore they're actually going to have to cut

187
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 6: more than now we were thinking. So it's like a

188
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 6: catch twenty Now it pretty.

189
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 8: Much is what the market has priced in is all

190
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 8: of a sixteen percent probability for that for another twenty

191
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 8: five basis point.

192
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 7: Cut at the end of January.

193
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 8: I think to the extent that Powell is reticent to

194
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 8: talk about things like tariffs, things like the national debt, which.

195
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 7: He has not wanted, he wanted he won't.

196
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 8: But given the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen playbook, we know

197
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 8: that that inflation didn't show up for a good twelve months,

198
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 8: and that incoming Treasury Secretary Scott Bessentt has said he

199
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 8: wants to go more slowly than the first than Trump

200
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 8: one point oh tariffs in terms of how they're pushed

201
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 8: into the economy There's so.

202
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 7: Many things that remain to be seen, and you.

203
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 8: Can never tell whether or not it's bestent we can

204
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 8: take for his word or not, because you just need

205
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 8: a hot mic, you know, and a Trump.

206
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how it could go. Daniel, thank you so

207
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: much for joining us. Daniel di Martino Booth, she's the

214
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 6: There's a ton of car news, so we wanted to

215
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 6: dive into that a little bit more. We just had

216
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 6: a headline the Cross that California gas car ban actually

217
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 6: wins Biden's blessing, which really sets California up in a

218
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 6: clash with President alike Donald Trump. California has rules that

219
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 6: require the sale of zero mission vehicles and ultimately ban

220
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 6: the sale of ice cars by twenty thirty five. At

221
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 6: the same time, we've a possible tie up from Honda

222
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 6: and Nissan, a tremendous earthquake that we heard really throughout

223
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 6: the auto industry. Steve Man is Bloomberg Intelligence Senior autos analyst. Hey, Steve,

224
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 6: let's just start with the Nissan Honda news. What's your biggest.

225
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 5: Takeaway on this?

226
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 9: Wow, I'm not too surprised that this is happening, you know,

227
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 9: given the seismic shifts in the auto industry in the

228
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 9: last five years, with you know, these startups Tesla, Riva

229
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 9: and Lucik coming on board here locally in the US

230
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 9: and globally, and then you have you know, the eight

231
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 9: hundred pound gorilla, the Chinese automakers, you know, really growing fast,

232
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 9: not just in their own markets but globally. So you know,

233
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 9: it's it's posing a lot of challenges to legacy automaker

234
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 9: and somebody like Nissan, which saw sales on a global level,

235
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 9: you know, drop as much as fifty percent over the

236
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 9: past five to six years. Uh, they're going to have

237
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 9: to do something to kind of pair costs down.

238
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: Would this be enough, Steve, for the combined company to

239
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: compete on a global scale.

240
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: It's it's tough to say.

241
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 9: I think initial thought is no, because you know, Nissan

242
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 9: over the past few years have really cut back the

243
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 9: number of models in the market place. They are over capacitized.

244
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 9: There's a lot of work that needs to be done.

245
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 9: So I'm not sure if it really helps Honda UH

246
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 9: in this type of merger. You know, I think the

247
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 9: till is towards you know, it could be a drag

248
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 9: to Honda.

249
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 6: Well, that was my question, is that I was reading

250
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 6: that there might not be a ton of synergies in

251
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 6: this that it's just really all about scale. So can

252
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 6: this scale be enough to offset that lack of synergy?

253
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 9: Well, I think that's the UH. I think that's it's

254
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 9: going to be the ongoing trend, and every automaker and

255
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 9: supplier as well will have to kind of revisit their

256
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 9: long term strategy because, you know, you were saying earlier

257
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 9: California is actually moving away or more moving towards all electric.

258
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 9: You know, automakers and suppliers are continuably being face or

259
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 9: facing you know, increasing R and D expenditure. As the

260
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 9: propulsion investment diversifies away from gas and more towards other

261
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 9: other powertrain system that's gonna be really costly for the

262
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 9: automakers and the suppliers.

263
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: So they're going to have.

264
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 9: To revisit how they're gonna, you know, and make those

265
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 9: investments going forward.

266
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: Stee, how much do the Japanese awnomakers have to compete

267
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: against China? It just feels like it would be more

268
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: than maybe the US awnmakers do.

269
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 9: I think so because if you look at the Japanese automakers,

270
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 9: they're really prevalent in emerging markets. Toyota is all of

271
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 9: the place, Honda and Nissan as well, They really those cars.

272
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 9: Japanese cars were considered low costs, so they resonate within

273
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 9: emerging markets. And that's where the Chinese automakers are actually entering.

274
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 9: The smaller markets in South America, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe

275
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 9: really challenging head to head with the Japanese automakers as

276
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 9: well as the South Korean automakers.

277
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 6: Really good stuff, Steve. There's just so much to break

278
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 6: down through all of this. Appreciate it. Steve Man joining

279
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 6: US senior aunors reporter for Bloomberg Intelligence.

280
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 5: I should say analysts, not reporter.

281
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 7: My bad.

282
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 6: And there's the foxcom thing like Boss come aunts in

283
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 6: it's so confusing.

284
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: Well, think about Japan, which I learned early in my career,

285
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: is there's a lot of cross investment between companies that

286
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, if they're out of industry, just different. I

287
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: think it's just I can't remember the reason for it

288
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: other than we're all in it together, and let's have

289
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: close relationships between.

290
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: Companies and management teams, and you know that type of.

296
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: knows the things about everything, his opinions on everything, and

297
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 6: really good insight.

298
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: And he's the kind of guy where you only you

299
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 5: don't hear what he says.

300
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 6: Anywhere else, and that's really special in this kind of business. Peter,

301
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 6: Chair of Academy Securities, is joining us in studio. Peter,

302
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 6: how are you going to be reading the FED today

303
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 6: and then the market reaction to the Fed today? What's

304
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 6: going to be your takeaway come tomorrow?

305
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 10: You know, I'm really expecting a fairly hockey FED. I

306
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 10: think they are a little bit worried about the economy,

307
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 10: but it's not showing up in the data, so I

308
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 10: think they're going to have to come across. Hey, we're

309
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 10: potentially on hold. We've done one hundred bases points. Let's

310
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 10: see where this plays out. I think that will disappoint

311
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 10: the market a little bit, only because we are up

312
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 10: so high since the election. Everything's run. I think people

313
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 10: got very comfortable rates are coming down. I think that stops.

314
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 10: I think I'll be paying close attention to the summary

315
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 10: of economic projections are more likely the dot plot.

316
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: Where where do they take the terminal rate?

317
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 10: And does that move closer to four percent, which would

318
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 10: signal that, yes, they are very close to being done.

319
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: If the Fed is going to be slower than expected

320
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: in lowering rates, if not coming to a pause here

321
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: for maybe all of twenty twenty five, Can a stock

322
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: marker work in that environment?

323
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: I think so.

324
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 10: I think the stock market has really moved on to

325
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 10: what is Trump going to do? What's joje you going

326
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 10: to do? Where do we head from there? And I

327
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 10: think there's a lot of op I think, you know,

328
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 10: once you move past some of the fears about terrorists,

329
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 10: which I think people have kind of fallen into this

330
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 10: maybe a bit of a false sense of scurity right

331
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 10: now that they're negotiating points. I think this is really

332
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 10: going to be about can he do something about the

333
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 10: rules and regulations? Can we revisit twenty years of rules

334
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 10: and regulations that have been put in place when they

335
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 10: add the luxury of being the sole superpower and now

336
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 10: that we're really competing economically with China in the world,

337
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 10: do all those make sense? And you know, we've talked

338
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 10: more recently we went from drill baby drill to refine

339
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 10: baby refine, And I think the one thing this economy

340
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 10: really needs is to process rare Earth's critical minerals energy

341
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 10: products ourselves.

342
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 6: So to that point, do we need to rethink a

343
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 6: reaction function to the FED when we don't know what

344
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 6: those policies are going to be?

345
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, so I think the Fed's actually the reaction is

346
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 10: probably going to be.

347
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: Fairly mooted one way or the other. Day, Like we'll

348
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: get a bit of movement.

349
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 6: We always take the bite anything that has to do

350
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 6: with DC, right, and.

351
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: He's going to you know, we have to wait and see.

352
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 10: And again, I think, as the last guests just point out,

353
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 10: we don't know what's actually going to get implemented day

354
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 10: one or day two or day three, what's going to

355
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 10: be a priority, what falls through the cracks. You know,

356
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 10: when I look at it, I think immigration. They're going

357
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 10: to go after some highly visible targets that probably most

358
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 10: people are in favor of. I think you've already seen

359
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 10: New York City Mayor Adams start talking down. So I've

360
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 10: always thought the Roosevelt Hotel, that type of situation is

361
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 10: going to be the first thing they crack down on.

362
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 10: But it's not going to bleed into this wholesale you know,

363
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 10: knocking on doors, kicking indoors, pulling out people and sending

364
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 10: them away from the country.

365
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 3: So I think that'll be fine.

366
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 10: I think in terms of energy, he's going to start

367
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 10: enforcing some of the sanctions against both Russia and Iran,

368
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 10: partly to force them to some sort of peace deal,

369
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 10: also to support our own energy industry, and from there,

370
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 10: we'll just see what he comes up.

371
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: When he comes up with, yeah, that'll be interesting. It

372
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: always is, those us in the news business.

373
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, keeps us on our toes.

374
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 5: Okay, so what do you do? So what do you like?

375
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 6: So we're looking at the risk of higher yields over

376
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 6: next year. I'm reading between your lines. We're still talking

377
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 6: about that bad breath in the market and the leaders

378
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 6: from the Nasdaq one hundred, what do you do?

379
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 10: So I really like him, you know, they've been selling

380
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 10: off again, But I do like all the commodity players,

381
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 10: all the industries that enable commodity. I really think there's

382
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 10: going to be this massive push for some sort of

383
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 10: you know, let's call it security broadly, where we need

384
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 10: to produce and refine our own rare earth critical minerals

385
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 10: and energy. So I think we talked about energy. So

386
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 10: I don't think it's really going to be good for

387
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 10: the commodity prices because I think you're going to see

388
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 10: more supply come on. But I think you're going to

389
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 10: see these companies embrace it. I think you're going to

390
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 10: see a big push to create some regulatory, you know, opportunities.

391
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 10: And one thing one of our generals is really keen

392
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 10: to point out on he was very involved in Trump's

393
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 10: first negotiations with G on Terras, and Trump feels a

394
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 10: little bit cheated by G because G had promised to

395
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 10: buy a bunch of agricultural products.

396
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 3: And never followed through.

397
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 10: So if there is a deal this time, and I

398
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 10: assume there will be one, watch for AG to really benefit, right,

399
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 10: he is really going to force g to buy it

400
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 10: and deliver on that purchases this time.

401
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 3: So I think again that whole industry. So I look

402
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 3: at all.

403
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 10: The heavy equipment manufacturers. They should do really well in

404
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 10: that environment, and they still trade cheap, right AI. Some

405
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 10: of these others may do very well, but they trade

406
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 10: very expensive. This to me, it feels like it's going

407
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 10: to have to catch that momentum and you're gonna have

408
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 10: to get that inflow. But if you get those inflows,

409
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 10: there's a lot room for these stocks to run.

410
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: Just asking for a friend here, what do you think

411
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: about the energy space here? Because if we're drilling or

412
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: refining or whatever, I think that's good for the energy space,

413
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: but maybe it could not be.

414
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: Great for prices. That's it.

415
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 10: I think it's not going to be great for prices,

416
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 10: so that'll be a slight impediment to real growth. But

417
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 10: on the other hand, I think he's going to reopen

418
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 10: up our ability to export, right, He's going to create

419
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 10: these opportunities. So I think our companies will do very

420
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 10: well in this, and I think the energy stocks will

421
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 10: weigh outperform the commodity So I see an environment where

422
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 10: the commodity prices may be stable, slightly down, slightly up

423
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 10: depending on what goes on in terms of economic growth,

424
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 10: whereas the stocks can rally ten twenty thirty percent even

425
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 10: with that.

426
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then to that point, I mean, that's kind

427
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 6: of what we saw today that the idea will actually

428
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 6: reporting from Bloomberg is the idea that they're going to

429
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 6: roll back the EV incentives, but they're going to put

430
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 6: more money and stuff in those one hundred days into

431
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 6: creating the nuts and bolts of how to make those

432
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 6: EV cars, like critical.

433
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 5: Minerals and stuff like that. So that's exactly to your point.

434
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, And the one thing I think we all forget

435
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 10: I have to remind myself too, is producing and ref

436
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 10: finding commodities is commodity intensive. Right as we build this out,

437
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 10: you need steel, you need pipes, you need roads, so

438
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 10: it's all very commodity intensive. So that will support the

439
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 10: price of commodities as we build this out. And I

440
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 10: just don't see any reason Trump won't push for this.

441
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 10: I think it's good from a national security standpoint, and

442
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 10: it's the sort of thing he likes doing, right. He

443
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 10: loves cutting red tape. That's what he did, you know,

444
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 10: whether he's a businessman or more marketing. He loved cutting

445
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 10: red tape, So I think this is going to be

446
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 10: something that really appeals to him too, Musk, and it's

447
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 10: going to be relatively easy for him to get through

448
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 10: in many cases.

449
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 6: Also, this is like perfect from Usk, Like if you

450
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 6: create a factory that you can source all your critical

451
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 6: batteries for Tesla, cool, I mean that's what he's been

452
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 6: trying to do anyway when it comes to Tesla.

453
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, and just even from a military standpoint, the amount

454
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 10: you know they had to rip out. I think a

455
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 10: lot of the wawey chips that were in our military equipment, right,

456
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 10: but some of the raw you know, the rarest critical

457
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 10: minerals will refined products are coming from China. Why the

458
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 10: person that we're having the most degree of friction and

459
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 10: potentially at most risk with down the road, you would

460
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 10: not be wanting anything that goes into your military equipment

461
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 10: being sourced primarily from there. So I think that's all

462
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 10: going to get changed, It's all going to get pushed.

463
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 10: And I think this time what I have liked is,

464
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 10: you know we're calling it Trump one point five. He's

465
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 10: hit the ground running, right, He's already effectively getting stuff

466
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 10: lined up to do, unlike the first time around, where

467
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 10: I think he was kind of a little bit deer

468
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 10: in headlights and didn't know what to do day one.

469
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: Do we have those rare earths in the minerals and

470
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: the stuff we need for electric bad? Do we even

471
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: have that here in the US? I thought there were

472
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: in other parts of the world.

473
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: There actually are a lot in the US.

474
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 10: So I think you're one of the as government's built

475
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 10: out someone we've got rid of the Bureau of Mines.

476
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 10: We have not been big at mining things.

477
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 8: You know.

478
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 10: One story we've heard that seems pretty interesting is where

479
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 10: there are a lot of is the fracking was done,

480
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 10: the water that stays in the ground has actually been

481
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 10: absorbing lithium, and so you can extract that water from

482
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 10: the evaporate and get lithium. And that's actually probably the

483
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 10: most efficient.

484
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: Way to do it.

485
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 10: So there are all these opportunities, but I do think

486
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 10: the big thing is going to be the refining. So

487
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 10: I think, to me, right, there are other places in

488
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 10: the world we can get the resources themselves from, but

489
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 10: how do you refine them. We have to take that

490
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 10: responsibility on ourselves, and I think the process has never

491
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 10: been green. But the reality is if you let China

492
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 10: do it all, it's not green. It's probably not even

493
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,239
Speaker 10: as green as they say it is. So take that

494
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 10: responsibility on your own. Do it here, do it domestically.

495
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 10: So that's why I think I'm switching more and more

496
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 10: to refined baby refined, from drill baby drill, because it's

497
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 10: all going to be about the processing.

498
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, so smart.

499
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 6: Also, remember we used to book Peter as the bond

500
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 6: guy and like, look at how far you've come, So

501
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 6: let's talk about bonds.

502
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 5: Though, what do you think we're going to see on

503
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 5: the tenure?

504
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 6: And I asked that because he ro price that we

505
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 6: could see five percent in the first quarter of next

506
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 6: year and then six percent next year.

507
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 5: You think you're going to get a hankish bed anyway, and.

508
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 6: There's going to be all this investment that we're talking

509
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 6: about and going through which could be lead to a

510
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 6: lot more and growth.

511
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 10: I'm not quite that bear, So I think we should

512
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 10: be around four forty to four sixty on tens. I think,

513
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 10: you know, post election, everyone got two barriers, so that

514
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 10: was an easy call. We got the retlacement back down

515
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 10: to you know, four fifteen. I've been baryed since then.

516
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 10: I want to see I think coming into year end

517
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 10: four forty four sixty, I think there's a much bigger

518
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 10: risk of a gap fifty bits higher than a gap

519
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 10: fifty bits lower. I think we've had those moves, and

520
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 10: I could see us getting a five.

521
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: Percent next year.

522
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 10: I struggle with six percent, and I just don't think

523
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 10: the economy is going to be that good. I think

524
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 10: enough people pile into duration at that five percent level.

525
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 10: So and we've kind of for the last two years

526
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 10: been making lower highs on yields. Every time we sell off.

527
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 10: It's not quite as bad as it was before. So

528
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 10: I think i'd probably unless something dramatically changes, I'd be

529
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 10: a big buyer of tens if we got to five.

530
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: Credit risks taking any credit risk out there.

531
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, we've been slowing down. I thought credit was great,

532
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 10: we've loved it. Since June, I'm kind of more neutral

533
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 10: on it. Part of what I saw I think that

534
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 10: was really positive was a lot of banks and not

535
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 10: lent enough during these post Silicon Valley bank so they

536
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 10: were chasing money.

537
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: Private credit was.

538
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 10: Getting a lot of money, so all this was coming

539
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 10: into the markets. So I've liked credit, and I think

540
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 10: we're okay there. But I do think, you know, if

541
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 10: the economy slows a bit, some parts might do less bad.

542
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 10: A lot of thing was very dependent on getting you know,

543
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 10: lower floating rates. I don't think we're going to get

544
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 10: that to happen as much. So I'm like neutralish. I

545
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 10: don't see anything wrong with credit. The one thing I

546
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 10: will say is I find myself fighting with people on

547
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 10: high yield a lot. People keep pulling up these charts

548
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 10: of high yield bonds all look at how tight they are.

549
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 10: They're two right, and to me, the high old bond

550
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 10: market does not look anything like it did ten years ago.

551
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 10: So close your eyes when you pull up these long

552
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 10: data charts on the high yield market. It used to

553
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 10: be smaller companies, not well known. They're now it's a

554
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 10: much better market.

555
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: Yep, very good, Peter, another great performance. Thank you so much.

556
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:15,600
