Leader Capital Portfolio Manager Ben 29 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: Emmons joins us. Now, uh, Ben uh, We we asked 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: on a macro basis, which of these two crises or 31 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: or news impending news events hanging over the world is 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: more important. But on a on a four x and 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: on a bond market fixed income basis, which is having 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: the most impact, uh, in terms of actually moving markets. 35 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: Lcome morning, Mike and Tom, thank thanks for I'm going 36 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: to be back. Um. Well, I do think that the 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: Brexit debate is really start to heat up now. You 38 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: saw today in the press conference with the Bank of England, 39 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: so that is becoming a front and center event that's 40 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: going to have impact on markets. Um. The situation in Brazil, 41 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, it's ongoing. It actually ironically has held 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Brazilian stock, bold and currency markets because it's taken away 43 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: in certainty about the the you know, the impending impeachment, 44 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: and therefore markets react more positively. UM. I would also 45 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: know though that another development that's going on is that 46 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: the Chinese you want is to weakend again, and that 47 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: will also become a focus of markets because that was 48 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: the big event earlier this year that drove a lot 49 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: of uncertainty influential markets. So I would say Braxit is 50 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: frun and center. That's what people are going to start 51 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: looking at that. You can tell from the press conference 52 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: from the Bank of England that it's like a two 53 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: way scenario, right if it becomes yes or no, what 54 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: is the scenario that causes the uncertainty. So I would 55 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: say that's the case, yeah, I and and it's thrilled 56 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: Davy on Ben this morning with a with a cacophony 57 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: is the right word of news that's out there. I 58 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: would have just been Mark Kearney. Maybe he runs a 59 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: press conference that everybody would hope for from every central bank. 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's from his Golden days 61 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: or his Canada days Bank of Canada days, but a 62 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: couple meetings ago he was clear on inflation, and today 63 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: he was exceptionally clear in his language within the tension 64 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: on recession in some of these themes, he's it's do 65 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: you agree it's about our clearest statement by a major 66 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: central banker? Yeah, I do, because the more transparent they are, 67 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: the more markets will will behave more orderly I guess right, 68 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: in the sense that if he comes out with vague language, 69 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: what good open and it's not clear, then markets are 70 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: are just not gonna know what's going to happen next there, 71 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: for you get more volatility. So Mark Arney has been 72 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: always about this, you mean, he's been one of the 73 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: first people to buy in there with his four guidance 74 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: at the Bank of Canada. And as he said today, 75 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: as you know that now that he actually likes to 76 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: see in the future that their meetings will be completely open, 77 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: right that literally the entire world can see their meeting. 78 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: And in other words, you want to create as maximum 79 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: transparency as possible so then you can control markets volatility 80 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't think you can fully control it though it 81 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: Ultimately markets will just determine, you know, what's value what's not, 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: based upon the action of the Bank of England or 83 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: all the central Bank. But this transparency is something that 84 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: he advocates, which as we know Yelling as well as 85 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: a member Nankie, all of them have increased transparency over 86 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: time and will probably see more of that. So getting 87 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: a live meeting of the Bank of England in front 88 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: of the press, it's not not impossible, right that that 89 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: would happen in the future. How are people going to 90 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: play this? When you look at the pound it's up 91 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: three tenths now or even though Mark Arney warned that 92 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Brexit could mean a substantial deterioration in Sterling's value, So 93 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: do you go up to the last minute and then 94 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: uh and then try to get out or ure there 95 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: enough hedges that people can put on that they can 96 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: continue to trade higher knowing they've got some downside protection. Right. 97 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: So I think that what people have done is that 98 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: of course June twenty three is the meeting of the day. 99 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: So if you're looking at the Sterling options market and 100 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: currencies or in forward markets, yeah, that's some of that 101 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: positioning happening there. I think broad away of playing it 102 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: is about taking past sort of events into consideration of 103 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: what markets could do. In other words, when we had 104 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: a referendum in the nineties in Denmark to be in 105 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: the euro and now that obviously left with a lot 106 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: of shake up. When we had referendums after that in 107 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: Europe again about the Euro that's a shake up. So 108 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: none of words, is a volatility abound that event. My 109 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: sense is that if you want to position yourself, it's 110 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: a combination of having a portfolio that's offensive because you're 111 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: getting central bank reaction to this volatility. At the same time, 112 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: you have to be defensive going into it. I got 113 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: kind of balanced portfolio. We're to try to mix things 114 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: up here. Ben Emmons with this thrilled to have him 115 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: on from Leader Capital. He's a quiet, smart voice within 116 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: an incredible news morning, Mike, Can we come back and 117 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: talk to Mr Emmons about our full faith and credit debt? 118 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: Possibly he would know a little bit about that. Yeah, sure, 119 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: I think is going to remain. It's four. I have 120 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: no idea where Speaker Ryan is or Mr Trump or 121 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: Secretary Clinton or Senator Sanders, but we know what we 122 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: do know where Ben Emmons is, so maybe we'll talk 123 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: to him about some of our theories of fiscal policy 124 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 1: and debt.
