Tom and Mike Karen, thanks 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: so much. We need an update, a brief summary and 29 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: a view forward from Benjamin Emmons. Ben Emmons with Leader Capital, 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: has written a number of thoughtful books dovetailing our past, present, 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: in future. The word to jour out of three days 32 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: of Central Bank folly is overshoot. Um. I'm gonna put 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: out on social Ken Rogoff's magisterial uh I m F 34 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: discussion on Rudy dorn Bush and this key phrase overshoot, 35 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: and I'll put that out folks. It's like it's an 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: academic paper that is truly I must read this from 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: a good fourteen years ago overshoot cp I is all 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden coming up, and we're talking about overshoot first, 39 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: the fine overshoot and what it means for Jennet Yellen. Yeah, 40 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: good morning, Tom, Mike, thanks for having me here. Um. Indeed, 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: overshooting is that inflation goes above the target for a 42 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: period of time. Now, both Yellen and Drunk he said 43 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: that during the press Conference's that this is kind of 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: the symmetric definition of inflation targeting. You let inflation temporarily 45 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: overshoots and temporary on the shoot ultimately get to the target. 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: But overshooting is where we may head towards. So now, 47 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: if all the stimulus and negative rates really starts to 48 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: pay off and the energy market rebounces, we may get 49 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: to a period at some point of overshooting instead of 50 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: this four years that we've been in now on the shooting, 51 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of the situation in it. How do we overshoot? 52 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: I mean, what what works in what they have done? 53 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: Bloomberg story out this morning points out that UH bank 54 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: balance sheets, they're not in Europe, they're not lending. The 55 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: amount of money that's being deposited at the central bank 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: instead of being forced out by negative rates is rising yeah, 57 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: and that's true that that that that's still that mechanism 58 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: doesn't completely work. So I guess what overshooting happens is 59 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: that if it happens, because we're still not there yet, 60 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: but it seems that inflation is picking up a bit 61 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: that people are looking at this UM. It's clearly going 62 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: to be driven by energy, as in if the oil 63 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: price will rebound further, that's certainly will help to having 64 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: fishing rise faster UM. But when it comes to credit creation, 65 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, that's still a very slow progress. Don't 66 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: they try to do this with these new measures in 67 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: Europe UM, And it's yet to be seen if that 68 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: actually picks up at least some more aggregate demands and 69 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: thereby more employment, because that would be really the way 70 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: to see inflation more materially rising. We may have experiencing 71 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: this in the US a little bit now, as in 72 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, wages are slowly rising. Employment is better that 73 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: inflation is rising for that reason. In Europe they would 74 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: have to get it still from the energy component of 75 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: that as to see a quicker quicker move. So I 76 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: think overshooting we're not just there yet. I think on 77 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: the as you mentioned, on the credit side, it was 78 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: still some way to go there before you can actually 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: make that a real reason for for inflation overshooting. Here 80 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: in the US, we're seeing um the core rate leave inflation, 81 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: leave energy out of it, start to rise. We're not 82 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: seeing that in Europe yet. Is that coming or are 83 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: they still so dependent on energy uh as a component 84 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: of their price in there? I threw, I think that's true. 85 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: I think that that's the energy component is significant in 86 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: Europe um and and therefore it will take some time 87 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: for for the cool ray to come up quicker. This way, 88 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: we have some art of factors here that drives are 89 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: core rate higher. The only notable development there was that 90 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: the no core good inflation is picking up. That's a 91 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: sign of economic strength. So that we have to see 92 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: in Europe do to see core rising um. So I 93 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: think in Europe it's all about headline inflation as an 94 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: energy recovers A bit that's all to me about the 95 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: cup doesn't target it doesn't target core inflation, but headline inflation. 96 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: UM that we will see some climb out of the 97 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: negative territory that they're in at the moment. You know. 98 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: I look at the idea that the comedy almost overshoot. 99 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: To be clear here, even the inflation easts don't say 100 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: it's a return to Walter Heller like nine sixties inflation. 101 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: Do you have a level where overshoot becomes problematic? Can 102 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: you give us? I don't give me the time, Never 103 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: give time and date. Then give me the level where 104 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: overshoots a problem. It's not two point three, right, it's 105 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: not two point three. Indeed, that's it's much more like three. 106 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: Let's say one to two percent over the target. To 107 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: make that, Mike, I think that's a key distinction is 108 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: the the inflation warriors are parsing tenth of a percent. 109 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: Mr Emmons is not doing that. No, it's more of it. 110 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: What I mentioned is, yeah, that's a time. So it's 111 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: interesting to see that the average time is about one 112 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: year for overshooting the last and then then inflation apparently 113 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: comes back to the target again or below, whereas an 114 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: undershooting takes a lot longer. It seems to be more 115 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: like two and a half years. So um, I think 116 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: overshooting indeed is problematic when you indeed, when you are 117 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: one of the the two over the targets. Did you notice, Mike, 118 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: the uh? The Mr. Emmons research paper has no dots 119 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: on it. It's dot plot free free free that well. 120 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: So I thought of the three questions that that may 121 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: influence central banking from here is that the dot plot 122 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: plays a bit of a less role there. It's more 123 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: about what is the level of nominal rates, which the 124 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: floral nominal rates? What you know, what time is inflation 125 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: allowed to overshoot him by how much much? And this 126 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: helicopter money term that seems to be resurfacing, is that 127 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: really the new next big thing sort of dot blot 128 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: is relevant, but it's become a bit of a background story. 129 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: I think these three questions I opposed during the press 130 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: conference of the ECB recently are actually really relevant because 131 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: if if we are going to a situation where nominal 132 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: rates can go a lot more negative than people realize. 133 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: In addition, the central banks are contemplating a version of 134 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: helicopter money, which really extreme measure, we're in a we're 135 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: really in a different direction, and all that to try 136 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: to have inflation rather overshoot than on the shoot. And 137 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: that's the that's the idea behind that. UM. I thought 138 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: I was interesting that that drug was definitely open to 139 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: this idea of helicopter money. Thought it was very notable. 140 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: Take take us back ten years ago the deflation speech 141 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: of of Bernanky when you started mentioned quantity vision as 142 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: a measure, but that ultimately materialized. Now quantitied vision is 143 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: the norm. We're all we used to. Quantity vision is 144 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: not so extreme anymore. And if today you have central 145 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: bankers like drug indicating well, helicopter money is something we 146 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, we haven't discussed, but you know at least 147 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: it's something that they find interesting. That that means that 148 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: at some point that may become and also a measure 149 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: they may use. Not the form of that is to 150 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: be seen, we don't know that yet, but but that 151 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: that's debated. That's a that's a notable point. Markets will 152 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: will pay attention to. It is clearly obviously how far 153 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: out can you look and have any kind of confidence 154 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: in your view of what what is going to happen? 155 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: Given all this, So I think what we'll see is 156 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: that um central banks will still go through somewhat more 157 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: extreme measures to ensure that we're getting sustainable inflation and 158 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: not end up in deflation for a long period. So 159 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: I think which is not out of this era of 160 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: unconventional measures and creative ways of trying to stimulate economic 161 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: activity really because we're dealing with the leveraging, and the 162 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: leveraging is it comes in waves. And each time did 163 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: his waves happened like what happened in January, it was 164 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: a form of the leveraging um. Central banks have to 165 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: step in to try to upset that. So I think 166 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: that's what we're still in for until we are actually 167 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: out of this this beat protracted slumping. There's a lot 168 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: of debate about it, like we're a secular signation and 169 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: we never can really get out of his Okay, but 170 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: what you've just described and might now that I think 171 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: about it, it's all the great work we did last week. 172 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: Thank you team for that. What we're doing is we're 173 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: back to an analysis of nominal GDP and nominal rates 174 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: because what we're saying is inflations up, so what real 175 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: growth is down? So we're back to premanqu almost correct, 176 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: am I right? Yeah? I think you're right about that. 177 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: We're back to the nominal GDP. I need a pipe. 178 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: I gotta look like could I look like Arthur brees Man? Yeah, 179 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: you don't want to. So, yeah, we're back to nominal 180 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: GDP because that ultimately drives, you know everything really, you know, 181 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: returns and everything. So if nominal GDP, like you mentioned 182 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: once the other day that that GDP and nominal GP 183 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: in the UK two point seven percent really low, showed 184 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: it like three three and three and a half, it's 185 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: really we want to go back to five cent nominal GDP. 186 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: So that's all about nominal GP. Ben Emmons, thank you 187 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: so much, Lena Capital helping us out this morning.
