7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Shanelli Basik a forty four billion dollar deal that really

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: wasn't going to happen forty eight hours ago it seemed

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: like and now it has. Elon Musk, of course, is

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: what we're talking about, buying Twitter taking over the platform

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: twenty five and a half billion dollars of financing from

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: some of the world's biggest bangs. He has to put

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: out one billion dollars on his own. Should only walk

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: us through the deal dynamics. Yeah, it's really interesting because

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: there was a lot of questions at the beginning on

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: who's going to finance Elon Musk's bid, But at the

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: end of the day, Wall Street has always stepped up

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: to Elon Musk's rescue, if you think about it, and

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: so it's not surprising to see who ended stepping up,

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: which is Morgan Stanley and m u f G, which

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: is a big partner. Remember MUFG really came to Morgan

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: Stanley's rescue during the financial crisis, became a huge lending

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: partner thereafter. Bank of America was listed later on Alan

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: and Company. And so you're looking at companies that you know,

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: it's not surprising at the end of the day how

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: the money came together. But to the point that I

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: think you're making here is only part of this is

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: done in terms of debt financing and margin loans. There

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: is still twenty one billion dollars of equity to put in,

30
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: and so there's news to be had still on who

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: joins Elon Musk in providing that equity. Yeah, and only

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: this is something that you and I have spoken about

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: plenty of times off the air, But let's do it

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: on the air. Let's bring in our worldwide audience into this.

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a rivalry here when it

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: comes to the banks as well, JP Morgan and Goldman

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: Sachs helping out Twitter's board kind of seems like everyone

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: else was on Musk side. Talk to us about the

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: bank dynamics, who's backing who would kind of feel almost

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: a proxy war between Wall Street. It's funny that you

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: put it that way too, because JP Morgan they have

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: had some tensions with Tesla before. They have sued Tesla

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: over the price of some warrants. So that's a kind

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: of messy situation that's there in the background. But then

45
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: there's Goldman Sacks, which has worked on both sides. And

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: the thing is, at the end of the day, when

47
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: it came to Twitter, remember the current and former chief

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: financial officer of Twitter worked at Goldman Zacs. Goldman Sacs

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: was the lead bank that took Twitter public, and so

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: on this deal in particular, Goldman was on Twitter side

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: of things. Now, Leonna Baker had some and her team

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: who's our deals reporter, a deal's team leader. Actually they

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: had some great reporting on how in the background they

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: came to this price and really convinced Twitters and the

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: board that this was the best possible deal, that this

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: is a price that you're not going to necessarily see

57
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: for Twitter in in the near term. And so anyone

58
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: who says, well, Twitter was once trading more than seventy

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: dollars a share, you know, will it trade at seventy

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: dollars a share in the future. So there was a

61
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: lot of people coming together in agreement by the end

62
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: of it. Smart stuff. I'm also pleased to say we

63
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: have Ed Ludlow joining us from San Francisco. I have

64
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: but a good authority. He's had four espressos this morning,

65
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: so he is ready to go talk to us about

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: this new dynamic of billionaires buying media. Right because Jeff

67
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Bezos has the Washington Post, you have other billionaires. I

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: believe there's a billionaire in charge of time as his

69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: name escapes me. Stuff, lots of stuff. And now you

70
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: have Elon Musk looking into Twitter. I'm not sure if

71
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: it's fair to compare the Washington Post and Twitter, but

72
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: this is still significant. Is this the start of a

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: trend that we could see continue? Well? Um, well, I

74
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: think we should state festival Twitter was founded by and

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: the single big shareholder, Jack Dawsey, is a billionaire in

76
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: his own right. Um. But I think Elon Musk comes

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: at this and we're going based on his previous statements

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: and and the kind of points that he reiterates it

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: in regulatory filings. Over the roller coaster that's been the

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Freedom of speech. You know that he

81
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: has a reason for doing this, that he felt that

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: protecting freedom of speech was worth buying a social media

83
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: company for. I don't know if you guys saw the

84
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: tweets overnight from Jack Dorsey, but Jack Dorsey essentially said

85
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: that he was worried about the platform being a publicly

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: traded company, and he said I'm paraphrasing, but he said

87
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: in the tweets that the first step was to take

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: the company out of the hands of Wall Street and

89
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: that he believes Elon Mark Musk was the single person

90
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: that could kind of bring Twitter back on track with

91
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: what he wants it to be, which is the global

92
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: public town square, you know, the point of consciousness and

93
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: debate for for social media users globally, which we should

94
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: point out Jeff Bezos kind of made fun of him

95
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: for her, right. Um. What's interesting here is also the

96
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: twenty one billion dollars of financing nationality meant if you

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: are borrowing or actually twenty five and a half. Actually

98
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the financing that he got

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: twenty five and a half billion dollars. He has to

100
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: pay that back, which means Twitter has to make money.

101
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: How are we going to do that. I did giggle

102
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: a little bit because ultimately he's the world's richest man

103
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter. You know, we always joke that

104
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: he's cash poor and rich on paper, but here's the

105
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: world's richest man, and he has options. You know, the

106
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: twenty five point five billion, you know, thirteen billion dollars

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: of it is split between fixed term debt and revolving

108
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: credit lines. You saw SMP got global ratings UM put

109
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Twitter on negative watch overnight because of, you know, the

110
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: debt burden going forward. I think I'm right in saying

111
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: that the interest payments on that debt is greater than

112
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: the forecast for full year bit DAR so, so it's

113
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: a significant transaction that's taking place. The twelve point five

114
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: billion margin loan is secured against sixty two billion dollars

115
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: of Elon Musk's Tesla stock, which is nuts right, sixty

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: two billion dollars of class rules of borrow, twelve point

117
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: five billion dollars of debt um and then on the

118
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: twenty one billion dollars side of equity financing. He has options.

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: Like We've written a lot on the Bloomberg today about

120
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: those options, and there are many of them. It is wild.

121
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: The story is wild. If there's a lot more going on,

122
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: we have fortunately have to leave it there. Belisa Brahma

123
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Wix joins me. Thank god during you here to past,

124
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: rescuing me from really a sense of abandonment at the

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: top of the show. We can talk about that later. Yes,

126
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: this will not be my therapy session, I promise um.

127
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: But anyways, let's talk about these markets here really tanking

128
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: down one and a half percent. I thought this is

129
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: past us, Lisa. Honestly, I think that this is a

130
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: fascinating moment because we're not just talking about rate hiking fears,

131
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: but also what we're seeing in earnings. And I know

132
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: Gina and Martin Adde's has been tracking this, and I'm

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: curious to hear her interpretation of the downside surprises that

134
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: have been absolutely hammered. Yeah, well, let's bring your right.

135
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: I have nothing else to add. We only have the

136
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: wisdom of Gina to go to. Of course, she is

137
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 1: the head of equity strategy here at Bloomberg Intelligence. Gina,

138
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. What do you

139
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: make of the cell off today? I think it's fascinating

140
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: that we were worried we went from inflation concerns to

141
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: demand concerns very quickly. Yeah, I think it's honestly, I

142
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: don't think the inflation concerns have gone away pretty so

143
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: I would like to say they have. It is still

144
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: the source of the greatest thanks in the S and

145
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: P five. I think that the demand concerns are an

146
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: interesting point because the demand concerns are not only for

147
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: the mega caps, which is where we're going to see

148
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: the most profound impact in the market, but also there's

149
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: a lot of nervousness that the consumer is just going

150
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: to fall out of bed. I mean, you know, I

151
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: hear this on a day to day basis, is Okay,

152
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: how much can the consumer hold on? How much can

153
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 1: they keep growing, keep spending. Certainly, now the housing market

154
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: is likely to turn over, We're going to see interest

155
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: rates rise, which is going to increase the cost of

156
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: borrowing and the cost of debt for the consumers. Certainly,

157
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be it. So there's a lot of

158
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: pessimism that has bubbled up to the surface over the

159
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: course of the last month with respect to the US consumer,

160
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: and that is new. I do think the companies are

161
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: generally giving us mixed results. We have not seen you know,

162
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: broad widespread weakness, but we have seen some highlighted weakness

163
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: specifically in the industrial space as well as in the

164
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: in the tech and communication space that the market is

165
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: certainly we're nervous about right now. Gina, Let's sit on

166
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: the industrial space, especially with General Electric and the shares

167
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: they're plunging, as well as some of the other issues

168
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: that we're seeing. How much is this an execution story

169
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: and how much is this something else that is a

170
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: broader macro story. No, I think it's mostly with General Electric.

171
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: I think it's mostly about supply chain at this point. Yeah,

172
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, General Electric, With all due respect

173
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: to GE, it kind of stopped being a massive bell

174
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: weather several years ago. Um, it's not as important as

175
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: it used to be. But I think it's mostly a

176
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: supply chain and inflation story. It's interesting to me that

177
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: sort of sentiment wise, we're talking about e s the

178
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: bell weather and not ups as the bell weather, and

179
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: I think the tell the transportation stocks are significantly more

180
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: important to watch. But it's just a function of sentiment, Right,

181
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: what do we go to, We go to the miss,

182
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: we go to what's not working in the market on

183
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: a day when stocks are down during an earning season

184
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: that was hopefully going to bail us out of all

185
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: this weakness. But kind of the reality is there's more

186
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: ups is out there. There's more positive notes on price

187
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: pass through than there are negatives still um and until

188
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: that balance shifts, we've got to pay attention to both, right.

189
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: So I do think that g E is a function

190
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: of supply chain risks continuing, probably certainly some slow down.

191
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: An end market demanded is a giant conglomerate still, but

192
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: I would watch the transports more importantly. What what do

193
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: you really think is going to lead the market? It's

194
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: going to be things like ups and J. B Hunts

195
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: of the world, the FedEx Is of the world. Where

196
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: you want to watch for weakness to emerge in the

197
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: early cycle, stuff like that first as a precursor or

198
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: to a slowdown. Do you know you're talking about Bell

199
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Weathers here, and among all the ones you just named,

200
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: I'm also thinking forward GM carmakers, both of which are

201
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: reporting earnings after the bell today. But they're also a

202
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: significant chunk, at least historically, of the American labor market.

203
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: And I think I want to kind of square the

204
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: two because you have auto earnings, you have this labor

205
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: market tightness. Essentially, you also have tech earnings this week,

206
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: and it kind of seems like perhaps Apple, Amazon is

207
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: perhaps on a labor perspective, becoming a bigger part of

208
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: that market. Is that a fair assumption to make and

209
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: is that something to take into account when you look

210
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: at some of these companies. Yeah, I absolutely think you

211
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: want to take into account all forms of price increase.

212
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: Labor is something we've been talking about for the last

213
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: six months as an accelerating concern. It's still not enough

214
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: to compress operating margins. Operating margins for the SMP may

215
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: be surprised to know are actually on track to grow

216
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: um this quarter relative to the quarter a year ago,

217
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: which is a tremendous testament to corporate strength and managing costs.

218
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: That income margins are falling, but operating margins are growing,

219
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: So that's a pretty big positive. You would see operating

220
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: margins start to compress an environment where labor costs was

221
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: becoming a widespread issue, but it is becoming a bigger issue.

222
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we track mentions of labor

223
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: costs in transcripts and the number of mentions has accelerated

224
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: very rapidly over the course of the last several quarters. Certainly,

225
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: also sentiment reflecting labor costs, so we look at sentiment

226
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: around those mentions has also gotten increasingly negative. So companies

227
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: are very concerned about rising labor costs. They're also very

228
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: concerned about simply the supply of labor and sourcing that labor,

229
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: which is pressuring labor costs higher. It's not such a

230
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: widespread issue that I'm worried about it depressing operating margins,

231
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: and certainly results so far this quarter would support that thesis.

232
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: But longer term, if we can't get any new supply

233
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: of labor coming into the market, we're going to continue

234
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: to see abercasts accelerating and they may be a longer

235
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: term depression on those depressants on those margins that we

236
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: need to look out for. Well, Gina Martin Adams, thank

237
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: you so much, as always, Bloomberg Intelligence, Chief equity strategist.

238
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: You know, every day we kind of get the drip

239
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: drip drip out of the Eastern European nations. What's going

240
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: on in Ukraine and the latest with you and Secretary

241
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: Channel Antonio Guterres over in Moscow. Kind of trying to

242
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: dovetail the two nations and pitch it forward. I do wonder,

243
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: cretty how much we're getting to some sort of resolution

244
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: versus just an understanding that we're going to be in

245
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: this for possibly months, if not years. And you know,

246
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: as sad as it is to say on a human level,

247
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: I think from a markets perspective, there's become this kind

248
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: of resilience to those headlines in a way to where

249
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: you now see the markets perhaps trading on China, trading

250
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: on COVID. I feel like the actual, say, risk of

251
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: a nuclear attack, for example, is that priced into the

252
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: market well? And and so I guess the dissonance between

253
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: the market blasans I know that's not really a word,

254
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: and the humanitarian pain and suffering right now are increasingly dissonant.

255
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: Dr Ariel Cohen has been tracking, and he's senior fellow

256
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: at the Atlantic Council in eur Asia Center. I'm wondering, Ariel,

257
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: how much you see a resolution in the near term

258
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: and easing and some of the suffering. Are we just

259
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: getting benumbed to the headlines that really have been dominating

260
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: what we've been watching over the past couple of months.

261
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm not being numbed. I'm horrified. Uh. The mayor of

262
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: mariupol vi Um city uh in southern Ukraine that the

263
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: Russians are fighting to take now for two months, the

264
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: mayor said, twenty thousand people were killed. This is civilians, men, women, men, men, women,

265
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: children and the elderly. It is horrifying. And now we

266
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: see the expansion of the hostilities to include the neighboring Moldova,

267
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: in a separatist part of Moldova called Transnistria. For those

268
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: who don't know it, please open Google and look up

269
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: trans Um. There were several explosions yesterday and today. The

270
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Kremlin said that they are quote unquote concerned, and the

271
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: rumors swirling that Russia may open another front against Ukraine

272
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: because they're supporting these separatists and they may fly their

273
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: own troops to Transnistria and attack Ukraine from the west.

274
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: Going to the major port city of Odessa on the

275
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: Black Seat Rio, he went exactly where I wanted you

276
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: to go, and that is to Moldova. We hear a

277
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: lot about Holland Belarus. Can you speak a little bit

278
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: about the history of the Moldova when it comes to

279
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: this region and the significance of it when it comes

280
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: to the war in Ukraine. Yeah, but before that, I

281
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: was i'ld like to say that from my talks in

282
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: Moscow before Covient, from reading some of the memoirs and books,

283
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: by putting advisors. When they are in crisis, their strategy,

284
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: the Russian strategy, is to expand the perimeter of the crisis,

285
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: not to shrink it, not to negotiate. But they are

286
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: convinced in their own superiority, I would I would add

287
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: they're convinced erroneously in their own superiority over the West.

288
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: They think we're soft. They think where if heed the thing,

289
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: we're scared, which I didn't see much evidence of that yet. Um.

290
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: And they think that by expanding and escalating, they're going

291
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: to win this war and have no doubt. I'm in

292
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Sweden right now on a naval base. Uh. This is

293
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: not a war in Ukraine alone. We're mentioning Moldova that

294
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: the Russians may go to the Baltic state and may

295
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,479
Speaker 1: go to Finland and Sweden. I think it'll be suicidal

296
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: because Finland and Sweden are joining NATO. But they are

297
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: expanding so far the perimeter of this all Europe War. Now,

298
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: Moldova was occupied first by the Russian Empire, then by

299
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: the Soviets Union. Part of it was um in Romania,

300
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: and Stalin took in the ninety nine when he made

301
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: a pact with Hitler. Moldova is independent. It's pro Western,

302
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: pro EU, pro Us, pro NATO, and it's led by

303
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: a woman who went to Canada, Schoo, Maya Sandu. And

304
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: the Russians don't like it. They have the separatists in Transistria.

305
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: They probably would like to take Moldova as well. When

306
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: you say they, are you talking about Vladimir Putin? Are

307
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: you talking about Russians at large in the entire military complex.

308
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: You know, this is the sixty four trillion ruble question.

309
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: How much is that worth at this point? Yeah? Right, Um,

310
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: not much so um. It is Putin who is expressing

311
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: the collective unconsciousness of the majority of Russians, not of

312
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: all the Russians far from and just as we saw

313
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: more than a hundred years ago when the Bolsheviks took

314
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: over Russia, all the elite flushed out of there. They

315
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: went to Paris, they went to Germany, to Berlin, to product.

316
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: A lot of people are leaving Russia today. It's a

317
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: huge brain drain. A lot of it professionals, a lot

318
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: of engineers. If you are thinking about your future in

319
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: Russia and you speak English and you're sort of cosmopolitan,

320
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: you get the heck out of there. However, a lot

321
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: of Russian people, less educated, those who don't necessarily live

322
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: in big cities or don't work for the government. Um,

323
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: they are supportive of putting their brainwashed by the horrific

324
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: Russian propaganda who calls Ukraine Nazi, but call of the West.

325
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: You know what, They call it gay ropa because you

326
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: know Europe has more LGBT rights in Russia, which is

327
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: not complicated, right, um and um. They are casting this

328
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: conflict in existential and ideological terms, not unlike what the

329
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: Communists did thirty plus years ago. We just have about

330
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: a minute left. From your perspective, how do you see

331
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: this ending? Well, my big fear and I talked to

332
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: a lot of colleagues about nuclear escalation, not necessarily an

333
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: all out our Mageddon's style nuclear war, but Russia throwing

334
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: a nuke into Ukraine just to bang the table show

335
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: they're serious, and then they think we'll go to some

336
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: serious negotiations, will recognize their sphere of influence, not just

337
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: in the former Soubet Union, but in all of Eastern

338
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: Europe served going to status quo ante the end of

339
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: the Cold War. Eastern Europe is our side of nature,

340
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: and in the Russian influence weakening all of Europe, weakening NATA,

341
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: kicking the US out of Europe? Is that going to happen?

342
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't think well. Dr Ariel Cohen, the senior fellow

343
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: at the Atlantic Council of your Asia Center, we thank

344
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: you so much for your perspective. You know, we are

345
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: a lot talking about a lot of red today, deeply

346
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: negative for a lot of different stocks, and in particular

347
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: a number of potholes in the tech at the industrial spaces.

348
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: And there's no one better to really link industrial and

349
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: macro at a time when we are hearing those concerns

350
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: really coming together than Russell Price, whos chief economists at

351
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: amer Prize Financial, stemming from Detroit and having analyzed companies

352
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: including Caterpillar and John Deere. Russell, thank you so much

353
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: for being with us. I want to read you a

354
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: quote Larry Kulp of General Electric in the earnings call

355
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: It in an interview said it is as challenging a

356
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: back rob backdrop as I think I've ever seen. Do

357
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: you think that we're over or estimating or underestimating the

358
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: effects the ramifications of these pro prolonged supply chain disruptions,

359
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a it makes very challenging environment.

360
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: So I think it's it's hard to um uh underestimate

361
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: at this time right now. It's not just the point

362
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: of a product being short supply, but of course we

363
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: also have pricing issues to talk about as well. So

364
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: companies are really struggling not just with their component availability

365
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: when it comes to their energy or technology or even

366
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: low technology goods or even agricultural goods. It really crosses

367
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: the entire spectrum. And so it's very challenging environment for

368
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: the industrial base overall. When we're talking about the industrial basis,

369
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: let's broaden that out to all of corporate America. Not

370
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: to get too brought here, UM, but I'm curious about

371
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: the commodity impact. We're talking about oil prices. I mean,

372
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: they've come off their highs obviously, um. But that I

373
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: think the consensus here is that's very much a short

374
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: term issue. As the more and more dependence on on

375
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: Russian supply kind of get removed from the market. How

376
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: much of an impact does that actually have to Corporate America.

377
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: It's a corporate marria. That's one of the things we're

378
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: evaluating right now during the current earnings release season to

379
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: see which companies are able to pass along there the

380
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: added costs that they're seeing. We're evaluating which companies are

381
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: able to do that, which companies are still struggling with

382
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: the negative effects of just simple supply. So energy overall,

383
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: we expect energy to reduce US GDP this year by

384
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: a little more than half a percentage point just based

385
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: on the cost. So that's a very significant negative impact,

386
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: not just for consumers, but Corporate America is certainly challenged

387
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: as well. But of course with the SMP five you

388
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: have that offset to some degree by the energy related

389
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: companies that are benefiting from that. So it's a it's

390
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: a mix right now, but overall, a very distinct negative.

391
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: How strong is that you as economy. How much of

392
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: a rate hiking cycle can we withstand? I think that

393
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be able to withstand the rate hiking

394
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: cycle fairly well better than it has in the past.

395
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: In the past and four of the last five rate

396
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: hip cycles we ended up with recession this in each

397
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: of those periods. However, we're also correlated with high point

398
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 1: points of consumer debt, and right now consumer debts are

399
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: actually low and borrowing demand is low, So the translation

400
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: mechanism for higher rates into the broader economy is weakened

401
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: by that effect of consumers demand for borrowing being weaker.

402
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: Can we tie in where we began this idea of

403
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: supply chain disruptions, especially as we talk about lockdowns in

404
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: China and how much that could stem the tide of

405
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: growth and really reduce some of the strength in order

406
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: to see a more material impact negatively from these rate hikes, Yeah,

407
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: I think that's going to have certainly some negative impact,

408
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: but I think it will be reletively modest. Consumers are

409
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: in the transsition period, transitioning from spending more on services, uh,

410
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: from spending more on goods. We had the surge and

411
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: spending on goods there for about two years as the

412
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: ability to spend on services has been so significantly diminished

413
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: by COVID h conditions. Now, as COVID conditions are alleviating,

414
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: we hopefully that that remains the case. That consumers are

415
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: spending more of their dollars on services and UH so

416
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: some of the pressure on the good side of the

417
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: equation should ease to some degree, and that that corresponds

418
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: with the supply pressures that are coming out of China

419
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: because of their widespread lockdowns, well widespread lockdowns. But does

420
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: that create an environment where a lot of these companies

421
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: are very quickly trying to find alternative alternative sources. I mean,

422
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: I think one of the major kind of appeals of

423
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: Apple and Microsoft and the like up besides the fact

424
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: of the Apple and Microsoft, is that their supply chains

425
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: are incredibly secure. Tim Cook has been hailed as kind

426
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: of that's been his legacy that he secured these very

427
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: strong supply chains that have weathered COVID that whether the

428
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: trade war and vice versa, are more and more companies

429
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: trying to do that, Yes, I think so, I mean,

430
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: certainly uh from a related perspective, But that gets expensive

431
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: very quickly. Yes, it does, particularly when you're competing with

432
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: so many of your UH peers trying to secure additional

433
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: supplies at a time when supply is actually diminishing rather

434
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: than improving. And you see that particularly with semiconductors UH

435
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: for the last several months, being based outside of Detroit,

436
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: we've been looking for the signs of improvement semiconductor supplies

437
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: going to the automobile industry because that's so important to

438
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: the health and vibrancy of the US economy, and uh,

439
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: we just haven't seen that. Semiconductor supplies remained a very

440
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: significant impediment and they really have not improved shown much

441
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: improvement at all. So we're still hoping to see that

442
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: in the months ahead, particularly in the second half of

443
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: the year as additional supply is supposed to come online,

444
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: but we have yet to uh to see that well.

445
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: Russell Price, chief economist at a Mail Price Financial, We
