00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia for this Monday, March twenty

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: seventh in Hong Kong, Sunday March twenty sixth in New York,

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: and coming up today, Minneapolis Fed chief Neil Kashkari says

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: recent bank turmoil has boosted the risk of a US recession.

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: The US may boost emergency help for banks, and Credit

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Suite could face a possible probe and discipline for how

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: the bank was run even before its collapse. Putin talks

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: establishing basis for tactical nuclear weapons. Taiwan loses Hon Doris

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: as an ally. Taiwan's President Tide to visit the US

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: this week. Singapore President lad of Asit China. I'm Ed

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: Baxter with Global News. That's all straight ahead on Bloomberg

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: Daybreak Asia, the business news you need to start your

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: day in just one fifteen minute podcast available on Apples, Spotify,

Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Business app and everywhere you get your podcasts.

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Good morning, I'm Brian Curtis and I'm Doug Prisoner. Here

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: are the stories we're following today. Minneapolis Fed President Neil

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: Kashkari saying the recent bank turmoil has increased the risk

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: of a US recession. Is Kashkari speaking on CBS Face

19
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: the Nation program right now. What's unclear for US is

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: how much of these banking stresses are leading to a

21
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: widespread credit crunch, and then that credit crunch would then

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: slow down the economy. This is something we are monitoring

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: very very closely. That's Neil Kashkari heard right here on Bloomberg.

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Kashkari said that the US banking system is sound and

25
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: banks have strong capital positions and a lot of liquidity,

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: but he added that he will take some time for

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: the current problems to fully work themselves out. Kashkari also

28
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: thinks it's too soon to judge what the bank crisis

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: means for the economy and for monetary policy. The Fed

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: will meet next on the second of May. Meantime, we

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: are hearing US authorities are making moves to help all banks.

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: This would include First Republic. That story from Bloomberg Susanna

33
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: Palmer Our sources authorities are considering expanding an emergency lending

34
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: facility for banks in ways that would give First Republic

35
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: Bank more time to shore up its balance sheet. Officials

36
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: have yet to decide on what support they could provide.

37
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: First Republic if any, and an expansion of the Federal

38
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: reserves offering is one of several options under consideration. Even

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: short of that step, watchdogs see First Republic is stable

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: enough to operate without any immediate intervention as the company

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: and its advisers try to work out a deal to

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: shore up the balance sheet. Representatives for the Fed, FDIC

43
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: and First Republic decline to comment. Susanna Palmer Bloomberg Daybreak Asia.

44
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers wants US regulators to pledge

45
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: that they'll back uninsured deposits in any banks that fail.

46
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Summer has said that this would provide very substantial confidence

47
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: to the banking system. They can do that within their

48
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: existing authorities simply by being clear that in the event

49
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: of failures, given the highly fevered environment with respect to

50
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: contagion right now, they are prepared to use systemic risk

51
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: exemptions to allow the FDIC to pay off depositors with

52
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: assurance that those funds will come from the banking industry.

53
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: Summers also said that officials should recognize that regulation now

54
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: needs to take account of the digital banking and high

55
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: interest rates that exist, because he says that's a condition

56
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: where deposits can shift much faster than in the past.

57
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: We are hearing two banks are both vying for what's

58
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: left of Silicon Valley Bank. They are Valley National Bank Corp.

59
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: And First Citizens Bank Shares. SVB collapsed earlier this month

60
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: and then was seized by the FDIC. We are told

61
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: these two regional banks submit that separate bids before a

62
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: deadline last Friday. Now, the FDIC has been seeking to

63
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: sell SVB for about two weeks. Now, a winner could

64
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: be chosen before the end of the weekend. No final

65
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: decision has been made, and the FDIC could decide to

66
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: hold onto SVB or sell it to someone else Bran

67
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: and to another troubled bank. Credit Swiss may face a

68
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: probe and disciplinary action over how the bank was running

69
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: the lead up to its collapse and its eventual takeover

70
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: by UBS. That story from Bloomberg. Jevon Mehn, the Swiss

71
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: banking regulator FIMMAH, told the Swiss German newspaper that Credit

72
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: Suisse has a cultural problem. That problem translated into a

73
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: lack of accountability. FIA president Marlene Amstead said it is

74
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: not clear who is responsible for what policies and that

75
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: led to a negligent handling of risks. She said disciplinary

76
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: proceedings remain an open question. FIMMA has been accused of

77
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: failing to act early enough, and said it denied that, saying, quote,

78
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: we intervened early and intensively in Hong Kong. I'm von Mann,

79
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. I'm Brian Curtis, along with Doug Krisner. Doug,

80
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's a pretty big gap between what the

81
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: equity markets are doing with the newsflow that appears to

82
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: be screaming at us. We're taught to respect the price action,

83
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: but it may be odd to some that the SNP

84
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: five hundred was actually up last week. It's slightly up

85
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: for the year, and it's still right in the middle

86
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: of a range of thirty eight hundred to forty two

87
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: hundred that we've been in for about ten months. And

88
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: I would argue as well that the ten year treasury

89
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: is also at about the same level that it was

90
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: in September. So even though I mean, the real volatility

91
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: is at the short end of the curve, and that's

92
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: as investors try to price out this terminal rate, and

93
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: that one has been moving and we have seen a

94
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: lot of strength, I think I'll agree with this, Brian,

95
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: in the tech space a big beneficiary, kind of a

96
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: haven bit, I would argue, especially when you consider that

97
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: some of these companies have very strong cash balance sheets

98
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: or cash positions on their allan sheets, and in a

99
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: time like this, where there's so much turbulence, so much uncertainty,

100
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: particularly as it relates to the banks, tech has become

101
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: a bit of a safe haven. And I think that

102
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: makes the Fed's job a little easier because you can

103
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: imagine how difficult it might be for the Federal Reserve

104
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: to be continuing to raise interest rates if you had

105
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: the SMP five hundred falling two percent every day. I

106
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: wanted to mention as well that you probably pick up

107
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: on this line from Neil Kashkari as I did, where

108
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: he said that it will take time for the current

109
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: problems to work themselves out, if only they would work

110
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: themselves out well. And I think that's what Janet Yellen

111
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: is trying to do. By sending the message to the

112
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: market that the government in some shape or some form

113
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: has the back of some of these banks. That would

114
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: help to engender a bit of confidence. But on the

115
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: inflation side, it's going to be very interesting to see

116
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: what happens in the US at the end of the

117
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: week with that personal consumption expenditures price index. It really

118
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: may put the FED in an even more difficult situation

119
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: with the volatility and the concern about the financial system

120
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: on one hand, and this upward pressure that remains where

121
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: the inflation story is concerned. Yeah, and I was only

122
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: half joking about Kashkari's line. He probably didn't really mean

123
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: that these will work themselves out. He's probably more in

124
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: the camp that Powell and Yelling are in, as you

125
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: suggest that some intervention will be needed and will be forthcoming.

126
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where we stand on this Monday morning.

127
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: All right, it's time now for Global news. Russian President

128
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin says that he is preparing to move tactical

129
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons into Belarus. At Baxter has Global News from

130
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: the nine to sixty newsroom in San Francisco. Ed. Yeah,

131
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he's saying. Brian. Putin is saying that

132
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: ten aircraft capable of carrying nuclear warheads have already been

133
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: prepared in Belarus and the storage facilities for the weapons

134
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: will be completed by July first. Putin says a US

135
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: as long deployed tactical nuclear weapons on the territory its allies.

136
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby on CBS has

137
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: heard here on Bloomberg says, although US intelligence reports no

138
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: significant movement of nuclear weapons, yet he does see obviously

139
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: we would agree that no nuclear war should be fought.

140
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: No nuclear war could be one clearly that would cross

141
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: across a major threshold, and the US says it sees

142
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: no idea now to adjust its policy whatsoever. China has

143
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: also brought up the discussion today, as Congressman Mike Gallagher says,

144
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: the free world had better understand how the Putin She

145
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: relationship works. You need to understand that Putin is she

146
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: Jumping's junior partner. He is She's agent of chaos. Is

147
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: tethered goat in Europe, and if we try and separate

148
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: these these problem sets, I think we're gonna result in

149
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: a jew political posture that's ineffective. Also in the region,

150
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: there the head of the UN's Nuclear Agency will travel

151
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: to this Operasorifia plant on Wednesday, and Russia's claiming a

152
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Ukrainian drum hit a town about one hundred forty two

153
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: miles south of Moscow. The claim to date has not

154
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: been verified. Taiwan's President Siang Wing to visit the US

155
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: this week. An NSC spokesman, Kirby on CBS has heard

156
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: here on Bloomberg with Margaret Brennan, says, in spite of

157
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: China's protestations, this is nothing out of the norm. I

158
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: think it's important to remember what this is. This is

159
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: a transit, their normals. She's done sixth to long transit.

160
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: She's done sixth Tension with China's never been this high.

161
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: There we are and look, we understand that. And the

162
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: president has said clearly he believes it's important to keep

163
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: the lines of communication with China open. He wants to

164
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: have another conversation with President. She will move in that direction.

165
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: But these transits are normal, particularly for this particular president.

166
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: So I will visit New York and California. Meanwhile, Taiwan

167
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: has lost an ally of decades after Honduras sides with China.

168
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: Honduras now saying it recognizes Taiwan as part of China.

169
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: China Honduras will have no established, no diplomatic ties at

170
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: the ambassarial level, effective immediately. Now it's China and Honduras.

171
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: Brazil's President Luda da Silva has postponed his trip to China.

172
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: His administration says health reasons. It says flu like symptoms.

173
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: Singapore Prime Minister at Lee Sang Hung will begin an

174
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: official visit to China today as scheduled. Itinerary includes meeting

175
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: with President Hijimping. Federal officials are touring the devastation in

176
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: Mississippi today, a town of two thousand absolutely leveled. Aerial

177
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: pictures show a total flattening, looking like a bomb. This

178
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: is a Governor Tate reeves the resources of the people

179
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: here in Rolling Fork, in throughout Mississippi need the help

180
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: is owned the way and a Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro

181
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Mayorcas says, it appears these events will continue to happen.

182
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: It is heartbreaking to hear of the loss of life,

183
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: to see the devastation firsthand. It is also, as the

184
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: governor expressed, inspiring to see the people of Mississippi come together.

185
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: Myorcas says federal government will help in any way possible.

186
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: So far, the death count there in Mississippi is twenty five.

187

Speaker 1: Global News powered by more than twenty seven hundred journalist

188
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,359
Speaker 1: and analysts over one hundred and twenty countries in San Francisco.

189
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm Ed Baxter and this is Bloomberg. I'm Brian Curtis

190
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: in Hong Kong along with Rashad Salana. This is Bloomberg

191
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: GAB Break Asia. Our guest is Carol Schleife, CIO at

192
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: BIMO Family Office. Carol, great to have you with us,

193
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: and thanks for the double duty, the extra duty of

194
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: a Sunday evening to join us here on the program.

195
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: As we were saying earlier, all things considered, the markets

196
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: are remaining relatively calm. Why first up, thanks for having

197
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: me on calm. I think a piece of it is

198
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: is we're definitely in that waiting c mode, trying to

199
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: figure out will there be more fallout from the regional

200
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: or the midsized banking issues going on in the United

201
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: States where there'll be more global issues. But on the

202
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: other hand, we have strong economic numbers coming through. The

203
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: construction numbers are good, Employment is solid, Inflation is coming down,

204
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: not as fast as the fit or anybody else wants,

205
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: but it is coming down. And it's important to remember

206
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: too when we get into the back half of the year,

207
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: the comparisons will be easier. Just by default, so the

208
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: math will make it look like inflation is coming down,

209
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: even though we might not feel it as much. But

210
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: I think the markets are definitely taking a weight and

211
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: see approach, are gonna look at a lot of the

212
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: incoming data for a change, which we haven't. We were

213
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: told a couple weeks ago we were going to be

214
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: a lot more data dependent than we've been able to

215
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: be in the last couple of weeks. And it's actually

216
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: really delightful, as you also mentioned earlier, to have a

217
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: weekend that isn't full of all kinds of coming part medos.

218
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: So I think the markets are taking that weight. Is

219
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: see approach just trying to see how it plays out,

220
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: And if you've got a diversified portfolio, that's probably the

221
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: thing to do, to just sit tight and let the

222
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: news fall and make sure that you're staying adaptable at

223
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: the edges, but to sit pretty tight and just watch

224
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: it come in, Carol. But what's happening with the banks

225
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: is something which is noteworthy. I mean, sure they probably

226
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: be backstop, but that's not the point here. Small bank

227
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: deposits continues to plunge. We've got perhaps in you know,

228
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: the next age eight fighting which comes up as well,

229
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: like you to see another another big, big fool in

230
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: those deposits, especially these small banks, and you know this

231
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: is providing selling us. There's a liquidity issue here, and

232
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: it's clear to the Fed as well, But you know,

233
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: what should they be doing? What's twenty five basis points

234
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: of mistake? Last time? I'm not sure it was a mistake.

235
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: Although they were pushing, probably pushing the envelope, we probably

236
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: would have preferred to have seen them sit steady some

237
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: of the day. Some of the incoming data is still

238
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: conflicting on those banks, because we've seen some anecdotal stuff

239
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: that it's stabilized a bit in the last week or so.

240
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: MP people are starting to come around psychologically, some are

241
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: to the thought of I still want my dollars to

242
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: be circulating in my local economy as opposed to the bigger,

243
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: broader banks. But it is tough because you know, it's

244
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: important to remember that when we had the GFC, we

245
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: didn't even have the iPhone then. So we've got a

246
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: lot more transmission, a lot more rapid transmission, a lot

247
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: more ability for people to be able to shift stuff around.

248
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: But they also have to remember, regardless of what the

249
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: Treasury does for backstopping the banks. Anything up to two

250
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: fifties already covered. Yeah, yeah, for most people that's enough.

251
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: But you had a lot of institutions, a lot of companies,

252
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: a lot of vcs that had, you know, forty fifty

253
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: sixty million in Silicon Valley Bank. Hey, I was just

254
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: noticing here that in the swapt's market there's a twenty

255
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: six percent chance that the FED would move to four

256
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: point eight six and that is and would be the

257
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: terminal rate for the years. So if you put that

258
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: together and by the end of the year it's at

259
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: three ninety seven, so that would appear to be three cuts.

260
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are saying, wow, that's really

261
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: in conflict with what the FED is saying because j

262
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: Pala said didn't anticipate any cuts. But they are data dependent, right,

263
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: so a lot can change. You don't really need to

264
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: take palace comments to the bank, not necessarily, but we

265
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: don't see cuts by year and the futureist markets have

266
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: been discounting cuts against the FED and fighting the FED

267
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: for over a year and that hasn't necessarily to be

268
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: very prophetic either. And so I think a piece of

269
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: it is is it's just in a long career. It's

270
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: really interesting to me to see the dichotomy between the

271
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: equity traders and the fixed income traders and the fixed

272
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: income traders and what the Feds saying, because they tend

273
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: to go more hand in hand and we just don't

274
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: see that cut. I mean, that would imply a really

275
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: seems like it would imply a really serious recession in

276
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: order to get those cuts at the back end, and

277
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: the curves all come down, and that's yeah. I mean,

278
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: even the bond market has the two year at three

279
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: point seven six percent, so that's fully one hundred basiness

280
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: points below where the Fed funds rate is well. And

281
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: the interesting thing is is depending on where banks price

282
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: or deposits, that may slow the outflow of deposits because

283
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: one of the things that a lot of points is

284
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: I've looked at it as they said, look, banks aren't

285
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: paying me to sit in deposits, so I'm going to

286
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: move it into a money market to counter a short

287
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: term treasury letter, and it's a short term treasury letter

288
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: doesn't yield what a bank will give you on the deposits. Now,

289
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: that'll pressure some of those banks that are pressure than

290
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: that interest margin because the banks are forced to pay

291
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: more to hold the deposit. But so it's tricky, and

292
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: I think that's what the Fed's trying to do, sort

293
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: of imply that the Fed's going to cut with all

294
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: of this this very narrow tight rope. It's almost as

295
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: if they were on a regular size tight rope and

296
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: now they're walking on a thread because they're well, tell

297
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: me Carrol here, I mean, let's all forget you know,

298
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about the deposit side of things. I mean, certainly,

299
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: but you know, if you want to get a load,

300
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be much much harder, going to need

301
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: more collateral. You're probably going to see spreads wide. Not

302
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: on top of that, rejection rates are lightly to rise,

303
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: and you know that could also spread the non banks

304
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: and the consumer lending that that's focused on. So in

305
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: a sense, that's in a way doing the fred's job

306
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: as well, is it not. I think a piece of it,

307
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: And I think it's important to remember that business goes

308
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: on anyway. I mean, two people are my very two

309
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: younger millennials are my very narrow circle of folks around

310
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: me have signed mortgages in the last month, closed moved

311
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks and stuff still happened.

312
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: You've still got you still got yes and no. I

313
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: mean there are at the point too, because demographically you've

314
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: got a whole big segment of the economy that's walking

315
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: at it. Say, unless they were over seven percent, now

316
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: they're down to six six and a half percent, and

317
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: what if they go to eight or nine and were

318
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: we want out of the city and we want a

319
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: yard and a grill and a dog and yeah, so

320
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, and so you've got that piece. But you've

321
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: also got businesses are still going to do stuff done

322
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: because demographically you've got people in their businesses that said, look,

323
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: I was in to sell this business in twenty twenty

324
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: the pandemic hit, so I held off. Now I might

325
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: not get quite what I want, but the buyer has

326
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: some financing lined up, and stuff's still going to happen,

327
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: not just as exuberantly as it would have if we

328
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: were as the early days out of the pandemic. And

329
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: so I think, okay, it just six system tightens itself up.

330
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Let's distill this down, Carol, in thirty or forty seconds

331
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: into what you're doing in the markets. Where do you

332
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: put fresh money to work? I think the short term

333
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: treasury letters are still pretty attractive. I think looking globally

334
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: at some things because you've been having a diversified folio,

335
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: being looking again at MidCap small cap being not being

336
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: a hero and taking too much risk, but having balanced

337
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: and we actually like a lot of the industrial renaissance

338
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: kinds of companies and where the spending is teeming up

339
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: in a lot of those more traditional value oriented things.
