<v Speaker 2>stand be taking a very constructive view on things, writing

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>the rate of changes turn for the better on most fronts.

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>This keeps us positive on US equities on a twelvemonth basis.

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>We expect pullbags to be shallow and unsatisfying to those

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 2>looking for a fatter pitch. Mike joins us now from

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>what Mike, Good morning, Good morning Jane. I love the

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>reson No, don't fight it. So let's talk about don't

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 2>fight what? What elements of the market move shouldn't we fight?

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's kind of what we're doing talking about.

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the headlines remained very noisy and uncertain, and

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 4>I think, you know, this has been the case for

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 4>the whole year.

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Our view, as you know, has been a bit different.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 4>We came in thinking the first half would be tougher

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 4>and the way to change and a lot of things

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 4>like Earnie's re visions and some of the headline would

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 4>be negative.

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 3>And in fact that what we think happens.

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 4>That all got priced in the week after Liberation Day, right,

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 4>it was violent, it was a de leveraging and so

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 4>now as we look at the data itself, it's all

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 4>inflected higher. And so you know, don't ignore everything, but

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 4>ignoring the headlines is probably a good strategy and just

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 4>focus on the data has turned up for the most part.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think, you know, I don't know where the

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.119
<v Speaker 4>trade negotiations are going. Nobody does, but I think it's

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.199
<v Speaker 4>very unlikely we're going to go back to where we were,

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, a month and a half ago, like we

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 4>bottomed in terms of the pain of that initial you know,

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 4>announcement and how bad those tariffs were. So unless it

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 4>really re escalates in a negative fashion, I don't think

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 4>the trade issue is even going to be enough to

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 4>kind of take the momentum out of.

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>This market right now.

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>You know what the bad view sounds like. They would

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 2>say that maybe some of the data, some of the

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 2>innings we've seen have been flatted by pull forward and

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 2>we'll get the bill for that lakes to this summer.

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you think we priced for that kind of slowed down,

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>that weakness we could see in a summer months.

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 3>That's probably right.

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 4>And when we had that view too, there was a

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>pull forward in Q one Q one of being better

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 4>than they feared because you know, the numbers came down

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 4>a bunch. I think the second quarter, though, is expected

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.679
<v Speaker 4>now to be weaker, so that's going to be the key.

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 4>I think the biggest risk for the market's going to

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 4>probably be either rates as we've talked about in the past,

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, north of four and a half percent, or

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 4>we do go in an earning season it's not as

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 4>good as you know, people were hoping for, and we

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 4>have maybe a five to seven percent correction, but that's

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 4>not what people kind of want. People want a ten

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, another ten to fifteen percent draw down to

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 4>get better, to get more exposure, and I just don't

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 4>think you're going to get that. I mean, I've seen

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 4>this a million times you want it, but you're just

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 4>going to have to have a shorter trigger finger.

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, you had seen retail largely buying the dip, that's

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 5>who participated when you got those ruptures in April. If

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 5>we're not going to get dips like that anymore, what

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 5>is the willingness of institutions to continue to put money

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 5>to work right now? Especially they didn't even buy the

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 5>past dips we saw.

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think institutions have re risk, but there's still

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 4>more to go. The one the area I think that

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 4>you have to watch is the is the systematic strategies,

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 4>the CTAs that price momentum money. We saw almost five

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 4>hundred billion dollars of de leveraging in that period of

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 4>early March through mid April, and they've re risked maybe

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 4>thirty forty percent of that. So that's another bid that's

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 4>sort of it's not fundamentally driven, it's just price momentum.

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 3>So that's that's going to be kind of underlying bid.

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.839
<v Speaker 4>And then I think, you know, most institutions have re risk,

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 4>but one thing I haven't talked about yet is it's

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 4>people are still making the quality bet and we agree

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 4>with that, meaning this isn't the beginning of a news cycle.

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 3>It's once again an extension of.

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 4>The existing cycle, and the Fed's probably going to be

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 4>cutting at some point later this year early next year,

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 4>and that really behooves the large cap quality equities.

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 5>Does it behoove companies specifically who can also weigh out

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 5>some of the tariff uncertainty because this has been a

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 5>big part of the narrative, right no one's making decisions

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 5>cap exsually stalled unless your tech is there an element

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 5>where even though we don't have tears resolved, that you

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 5>get companies who just get on with it and start

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 5>to put capital to work.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they got to run a business. And that's another

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 4>reason why large cab quality businesses can do this. They

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 4>can mitigate some of these risks, whether it's terrifs, whether

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.559
<v Speaker 4>it's you know, maybe the government cutting back on certain

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 4>types of spending. And one of the things that is

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 4>getting through this tax build that I think is still

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 4>underappreciate is the tax incentives for cap X and R

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 4>and D spending. We think that could add three to

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 4>five percent to earnings growth or cash earnings for these

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 4>large multinationals.

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 3>That's a big tail. In addition to the weaker dollars.

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 4>So there's just a lot of tailwinds I see from

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 4>an earning standpoint, And this is almost a perfect.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Environment to climb the wall of worry because.

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 4>The economic data, the political geopolitical data is messy, it's noisy,

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 4>it's scary sometimes. But as long as the revision factors

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 4>for earnings are heading north, it's just hard for stacks

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 4>to go down.

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>When you say campex, I just think of a handful

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 2>of tech companies. Do you think it goes beyond just

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>tech leadership?

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Absolutely.

0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 4>I think this is about capital goods. I think this

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 4>is not just about AI capbacks. Also, one thing to

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.239
<v Speaker 4>just keep in mind, the IT capbacks that's been good

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 4>the last several years has really been concentrated just in AI. Okay,

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 4>the traditional kind of upgrades you see in the enterprise

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 4>and in the household have not been happening because there

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 4>was a giant pull forward, remember in twenty twenty and

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty one for.

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:21.119
<v Speaker 3>Work from home.

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 4>So if you actually look at the IT capback cycle

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 4>from twenty two to twenty four, it was kind of

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 4>a software session. And that's another part of our thesis.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 4>We've been going through these rolling recessions. And look, to me,

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 4>the big catalyst to keep in mind for broadening out

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 4>is going to be when the FED starts to signal

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 4>they're more dubbish. I don't know when that's going to be,

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 4>but my guess is sometime in the third coorter they're

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 4>going to start to signal that, and that's where you're

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 4>going to get a more broadening out to the lower

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 4>quality parts of.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Just the Why matter, do we need it because inflation

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 2>has comeing in or is it going to be because the

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>labor market is cracking?

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, look at last fall it was both right.

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 4>The labor market was cracking last summer. As soon as

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 4>they signaled they were ready to step in, the market.

0:05:59.040 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 3>Went up anyway.

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 4>So that's why I mean, I actually think of recession.

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 4>If we finally get the broad recession labor cycle, I

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 4>don't think the equity markets are going anywhere near the

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 4>April lows because the FED will be able to act quickly,

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 4>and we're like Pavlovian, right, And if retail is buying

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 4>when the FED wasn't even cutting, if they are cutting,

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 4>there's going to be a big bid there.

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 3>So look, there's always risks in the market.

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 4>There's always something to be worried about, there's always things

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 4>to be bearishan, and there's things to be bullish on.

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 3>And that's our job.

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 4>And I think, you know, this year we've navigated that

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 4>pretty well, being in the right places. And I think

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 4>we're going to continue to have to shift what we

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 4>want to own, not so much how much you want

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 4>to own.

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 2>You've acknowledged the one thing that could be a handwind

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>for equities. It's interest rates. He wrote about it over

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. What is it about four fifty that's challenging

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 2>to this equity market? Because based on the running we've

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>seen over the past few weeks, we don't see much

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:44.799
<v Speaker 2>of a challenge.

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.559
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's stabilized at four fifty.

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 4>So we've identified this level like almost two years ago,

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 4>and it's been like a charm. I mean, as soon

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 4>as you cross four to fifty in the fside, the

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 4>correlation between stocks and rates goes negative and vice versa. Now,

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 4>I do think that we kind of want to four

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 4>seventy in the April period and then they calm down again.

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 4>I think the market is getting comfortable that they have

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 4>enough tools, because you know, the Treasury Secretary has talked

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 4>about that to keep it four fifty or below if

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 4>they need to, And I think we talked about this

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 4>last time I was here. Four seventy five is like

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 4>the worst place because that's where markets get really nervous.

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Five percent I actually get bullish because then I know

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 4>that they're going to come and intervene with either liquidity

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 4>injections or they're going to use these other tools that

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 4>the treasure secretary has talked about. So we're, you know,

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 4>we're we're optimistic that that could be managed. And in

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 4>other words, that risk could be a risk for five

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 4>or seven percent, but ultimately that risk will get managed.

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>To do you get CLIENTSOSKC and you now about the

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 2>dead oceans, asking the equity strying to just about the

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 2>dead otions that take place in the week.

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, I really ask the equity folks, But I mean

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 4>people do ask about it.

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, and once again we have seen many auctions,

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 4>soft auctions for the last two or three years, seen

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 4>this occur and then.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 3>They get control of it. Again.

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to dismiss the risk from the back

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 4>end of the market that is still to me. The risk,

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, is the risk not only for markets. It's

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 4>the risk for the US, like we have too much

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 4>debt and this is a focus. And if we don't,

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean ultimately, if we don't you know, cut the

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 4>budget over time like and maybe the market is now

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 4>giving them a lead like okay, we'll give you twelve months,

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, but if we don't get serious about you know,

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 4>budget reconciliation and actually reducing the size of the budget

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 4>over time, this is an issue that's going to stay

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 4>with us.

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Mike Wilson of Morgan Stanley three words out of the weekend,

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>don't fight it. Don't fight this market, Mike, Thank you, sir.

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>They appreciate it. Joining us now to continue the conversation.

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Hendra to Trace of Veda pantas Hen, Welcome to the program.

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 2>So this was frame quite simply yesterday going into the room,

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 2>we would tell the US would push to drop some

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>restrictions on their site in order to ease the limits

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>on rare earth shipments from the Chinese side. Now, I

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 2>guess we've got two. Now, either that's proving more difficult

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 2>to do as we go intoday two or they're shooting

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 2>for something much bigger than just that. Is there reason

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to believe it's one and maybe not the other.

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'd like to offer a third alternative and connect

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.679
<v Speaker 1>a few dots here. I don't think we're talking about

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 1>tariffs anymore, and.

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:19.719
<v Speaker 6>I think that's something that this street is.

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Coming to understand right now, and China has already grasped,

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>which is that when we got a CBO score suggesting

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that these tariffs that are in place today are generating

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 1>two point eight trillion dollars in revenue, and the White

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>House starts immediately putting out memos incorporating that threshold into

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>their public presentations on the state of the tax bill

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and the reconciliation package.

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 6>We're not negotiating for tariffs to come down.

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>The tariffs that are in place today are very likely

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to continue across all nations, not just China, but Japan,

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>South Korea, the EU, and they're going to also see

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>sectoral tariffs on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, trucking, aircraft in the months ahead.

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Being negotiated are the extraneous issues that, of course, since

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the Geneva meeting, both sides have ratcheted up, whether that's

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>on limiting student access to the United States for Chinese

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>students or the Huawei chips or AI or rare earth magnets.

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>They're expanding the scope of this war and no longer

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>negotiating just the tariff rates.

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 6>I think that they're looking for an excuse.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>To get past Liberation Day, which in this case is

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>in August, and come up with any reason to keep

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>tarifrates where they are while they fight on different fronts.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 5>Henrietta, can they use tariffs as a crutch then? Can

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 5>they use the terriffs in the negotiation or are you

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 5>suggesting that they are just completely to one side. They

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 5>will remain and that's not going to be touched for

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 5>the foreseeable future.

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.319
<v Speaker 1>I think they can go up. I don't think that

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.079
<v Speaker 1>they're going to come much further down. Thirty percent, as

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>we all recall, is obviously way lower.

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 6>Than the President initially wanted.

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>He gave best at the go ahead to drop rates

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>down to eighty. We know that anything above fifty percent

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>is effectively a embargo on trade, and thirty percent, you know,

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>cargo is just.

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 6>Now starting to get back to where it was in before.

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>April second, or before Trump took office. I don't think

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 1>they're going to go much lower than thirty percent. Again,

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that revenue score of two point eight straight is just

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>too attractive. So the threat is permanently there of tariff's rising,

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and I believe they will on a sector basis. And

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I was speaking with another former USTR recently and he

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 1>suggested that one or two nations could be made an

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>example of Nicaragua.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 6>For example.

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>But for the most part, these tariffs are here, they're

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 1>here to stay, and we're going to have to fight

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>on other fronts.

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 5>What does that say about negotiations with other countries? Henrietta,

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 5>When the ninety day pause comes due in July, is

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 5>it your expectation that we also get a resumption of

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 5>higher levels of tariff, something like we saw in Liberation Day.

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 6>I don't think so. For most nations.

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that the administration is looking for an excuse

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>to extend the July ninth date out into the future.

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.079
<v Speaker 6>I don't have a good sense of.

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 1>How long they want to extend it out into thirty

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>sixty ninety days.

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 6>But one thing that I.

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Really can't square is that the Liberation Day of two

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>point zero July ninth is well before.

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 6>When I anticipate the tax bill passing.

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 1>So you have this awkward dance between Republican lawmakers trying

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to pass this bill on the Hill, and the July fourth,

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, fourth of July rally that the President is

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>helping to have, and then the July ninth expiration date.

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think the dates are a little bit fuzzy

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and they don't really quite have a streamlined narrative. The

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.719
<v Speaker 1>tariffs and the tax bill haven't quite blended perfectly, and

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I wonder whether that might come into the conversation.

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>There's one more piece of a parzzle at the moment,

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>as you know, the White House increasingly distracted by what's

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 2>happening on the West coast in Los Angeles, Henrietta, do

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.719
<v Speaker 2>you take the point, maybe make the argument that they're

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 2>much more comfortable with that story developing in Los Angeles,

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:45.839
<v Speaker 2>and maybe that takes some heat off the passage of

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 2>the bill, the tax bill in Washington.

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, they got to love it. And the timing

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 6>is perfect.

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow or Thursday, the Judiciary Committee is putting out their

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seventy five billion dollar package that is

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>going to spend.

0:12:58.000 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 6>Money on immigration.

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>And one of the things that has been lost in

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:02.559
<v Speaker 1>the last week of Elon Musk and.

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 6>Donald Trump feuding over Twitter is that the whole package.

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 1>The reason we're doing one big, beautiful bill and set

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.680
<v Speaker 1>it too is because there's a tremendous amount of dessert

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>in this bill. There's three hundred and fifty billion dollars

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 1>in funding for the military and immigration, and that's.

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:17.959
<v Speaker 6>What's going to carry this bill over the finish line.

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 6>I've only seen one Senator come out against those spending levels,

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 6>and that's Rand Paul.

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>And even he wants some level of spending, it's seventy

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.319
<v Speaker 1>five billion. He just doesn't think we need the full

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seventy five billion.

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 6>So I one hundred.

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>Percent expect for this immigration conversation, the raids in LA

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>sending in the National Guard advances. My odds that the

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>OBBB gets signed into law.

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.440
<v Speaker 2>When all is set and down, how different will that

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>bill look to what was passed in the House.

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 6>It's going to be substantially more deficit increasing.

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I'd say at least four hundred billion dollars more in deficits.

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 6>The saltcap is not going to be as generous.

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>The IRA tax credits cannot be cut back as much

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>as they have been. This is just a tremendous job

0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>growth in Key states that need it include Alaska, North Carolina,

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 1>where there's that risk for publican members, it's.

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 6>Going to change quite a bit.

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to trace if I depart, I to thank you.

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 2>So here's the like this this morning. One hundred and

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 2>nineteen billion dollars in treasury notes up for auction this

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 2>week as try to look to gage appetite for US debt.

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Tony Rodriquez a Neuveine writing long duration is attractive as

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 2>a hedge for equities and broader risk assets. Tiny joint

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>us Now for more, Tonyk Mornic.

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 7>Come morning, Jackthon.

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Could you think that more comfortable correlation does return that?

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 8>Are you seeing signs of that?

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 7>We are seeing signs of that.

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 9>You've seen that in some of the little hiccups we've

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 9>had in the equity market, and we think about why

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 9>that's taking place, is that we finally have a yield

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 9>level that's reasonably attractive, and you also have markets that

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 9>we would argue are fully valued. Whether you look at

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 9>the equity market where you look at risk assets, it's

0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 9>hard to argue anything's super cheap. So now when you're

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 9>looking at the economy slowing down, rates being high, an

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 9>investor is looking for income and a hedge. We think

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 9>you'll see that rally and treasuries because we think that

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 9>will really reduce any inflationary pressure that comes into the

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 9>economy through wage pressures, and therefore rates can fall in

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 9>a really negative outcome, which is not our base case,

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 9>but in that tail risk, we think it will serve

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 9>as a good head.

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the risk version test for the treasury. Let's talk

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 2>about the supply test for the treasury market this week.

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Four fifty close to that on tens, close to five

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 2>percent on thirty sufficient levels to bring in that demand

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 2>when we get those auctions this week.

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we don't think they're cheap enough to bring in

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 9>access demands, so you're not going to get the strongest

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 9>auction statistics you've ever seen. Who we think we're at

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 9>fair value, so we're not expecting to see a failed

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 9>auction this time. But we haven't really seen that right

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 9>so bit the coverations has been okay, the tails have

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 9>been average. We're expecting a similar story, but everybody's on

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 9>alert for that first auction that actually, you know, shows

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 9>a really negative soft outcome.

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 5>It seems like we've been on alert for a while, Tony,

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 5>and it has yet to happen. Where it has happened

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 5>is abroad. You saw weak auctions from Japan and that

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 5>was enough to move around the US treasury market. How

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 5>fragile and how exposed are we still to international results

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.920
<v Speaker 5>from auctions and just more generally higher bond yields across

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 5>the ocean.

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, they're very correlated markets. We've seen term premium rise

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 9>across multiple global markets, right, we've seen yields rising, so

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 9>very integrated. So we are sensitive to that. But the

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 9>good news is that you've seen policymakers also respond to that.

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 9>So the bankers Japan responded to that, so they're quantitative tiding.

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 7>They might slow that down.

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 9>We saw the US Treasury Secretary say that they may

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 9>consider adjusting some of their supply you expectations over the

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 9>coming months. So policymakers are responding to the potential for

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:59.119
<v Speaker 9>soft demand and longer duration assets and that's supportive.

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 5>Is that not a problem though, that policymakers have to

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.199
<v Speaker 5>respond Tony. This is usually the thing you see in

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.119
<v Speaker 5>emerging markets that there's not enough demand for longer term debts,

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 5>so you get changes, or you get inability to actually

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 5>issue longer term debt is the very actions within the

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 5>then selves. The fact that they have to do it

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 5>a problem.

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.920
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we don't think it's a problem, but we do

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 9>think it's reflective of the fact that the fiscal pressures

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.439
<v Speaker 9>that we are seeing globally that dominated really by the

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 9>US right now in terms of six to seven percent deficits,

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 9>those are going to be something that has to be

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:32.640
<v Speaker 9>reckoned with.

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:33.399
<v Speaker 7>It's just that.

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 9>Unlike in emerging market countries where that debt balloon pops

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 9>and you get an immediate crisis, the debt balloon in

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 9>a country like the US is more like Japan in

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 9>the nineties, where the air comes out slowly. So the

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 9>US is not going to, in our minds, have some

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.679
<v Speaker 9>sort of immediate sharp crisis, but it will have this

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 9>kind of slower weakening that takes place from elevated rates

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 9>that are a weight on growth, that take away some

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 9>of the supply and ability for companies to finances attractively,

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 9>and so that just places a dampener on growth broadly.

0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 9>So it's a slower kind of pain than necessarily a

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 9>sharp disruption.

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 2>You said risk and says with fully value, does that

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 2>include credit and high yield?

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we think it's fully valued. In terms of reflecting

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 9>what are strong fundamentals. So we're not expecting a lot

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 9>of price performance from tightening spreads, right, We think the

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 9>carry the yield is pretty attractive. You can kind of

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.360
<v Speaker 9>earn that seven and a half percent type of return,

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 9>which is comparable to equities with a lot less risk,

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 9>and it's reflective of solid balance.

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.160
<v Speaker 7>It's good cash flow. Right.

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.400
<v Speaker 9>Defaults that are going to rise, but not very much.

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 9>Where we're a little hesitant because spreads are only fair

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 9>is to.

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.440
<v Speaker 7>Go down to the deepest end of the pool.

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 9>So triple C credit risk might do great if the

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.400
<v Speaker 9>economy really performs well, but that risk reward is not

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 9>as attractive as sitting and double bee credit higher single

0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 9>bee credit, where again fair compensates you for good fundamentals

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 9>and strong technical conditions.

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 5>You could fool yourself into thinking, though, that there's no

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 5>concern with the junkiest of credit, just given the issuance

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 5>we've seen, I think for May was the strongest amount

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 5>of junk bond issuance since October. There's demand there and

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.080
<v Speaker 5>there's also taking advantage of a lull. But is it

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 5>a false sense of calm? Are we tricking ourselves into

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 5>believing that it is calmness, especially for the more risky

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 5>edges of the market, especially headed into July where tariff

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:28.639
<v Speaker 5>deadlines come due.

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:30.359
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, we bring up a good point.

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 9>So a lot of companies typically they fail because of

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.959
<v Speaker 9>lack of liquidity and necessarily business fundamentals. It can't they

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 9>can't work through, So that liquidity is very important. The

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 9>hial market had been kind of having below normal supply,

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 9>and now that's kind of accelerated a bit, but it

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 9>hasn't gone to an excess level. In our minds, it's

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 9>just gotten back to a normal supply demand relationship. We

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 9>think that's healthy. We think that liquidity is going to

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 9>remain in place. So that's part of why we think

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.240
<v Speaker 9>the default story. While we'll see an increase, it's not

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 9>going to be a sharp rise unless you get a

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 9>really negative kind of exogenous shock which could come from tariffs,

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:12.679
<v Speaker 9>could come from geopolitical absent that the underlying fundamentals for

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 9>cash flow and the liquidity conditions are pretty supportive of

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:19.640
<v Speaker 9>kind of remaining at these fair value levels.

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I've known you for a long time. Just listening to

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 2>you hear it feels as if April never happened and

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 2>looking at where markets are price at the moment, it

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 2>looks like April never happened. Does anything changed for you fundamentally?

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, well yes, what has happened is that the kind

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.680
<v Speaker 9>of fragility that exists is greater today. So we thought

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.000
<v Speaker 9>we'd be growing at two percent coming into this year

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.960
<v Speaker 9>without the April news, then you can kind of absorb

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.920
<v Speaker 9>a punch, whether it was oil prices, geopolitical. Now we're

0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 9>thinking one percent growth, so that at one percent, any shock,

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 9>a disruption to a auction for example, that can now

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 9>push you into recession. So that tail risk has increased

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 9>for us, So recession risk twenty percent coming into the

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 9>year thirty five percent now still not base case, but

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.560
<v Speaker 9>enough to say what gets tipped over into default in

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:14.159
<v Speaker 9>that environment. It's those triple C weeker credits. So if

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 9>they survive, we avoid recession, they're going to do fine.

0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 7>But if we have that little.

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.879
<v Speaker 9>Hiccup, that's where you want to be a little bit better,

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 9>higher in quality, a little higher in liquidity, to give

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 9>your room to be able to adjust to those weaker conditions.

0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 2>It's got it, Tony, a free siat It as always

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Tony Rodriguez, there a new vein on fixed income. Let's

0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 2>how to get the Deutsche Bank is with this around of

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 2>table macamonic, it's going to see you, sir. Let's talk

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.199
<v Speaker 2>about whether it's too early to see that kind of

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.679
<v Speaker 2>inflation we impanc from the terrace tomorrow or not?

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 8>Is it so?

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 10>I think from a broad based perspective, it likely is.

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 10>I think if you look back to the to the

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.600
<v Speaker 10>previous CPI, you began to see it's showing up in

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 10>some of the data points, but that's been offset by

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 10>some of the discretionary services item.

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.440
<v Speaker 8>Whereas we've seen weakness such as airfares.

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.119
<v Speaker 10>You saw it in the PPI data last month, and

0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 10>it typically takes a few months for that really to

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 10>begin to show up into the CPI, And so our

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 10>baseline expectation is you get a little bit more evidence

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 10>of it in tomorrow's print, but really it takes the June,

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 10>July and then August day to get to get stronger

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 10>evidence of TAFT pass through.

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 2>What would you need to see to say, you know what?

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I think this would be sustained, This could be sticky.

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>It's not a one off shock.

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:28.960
<v Speaker 8>So I think it's going to be hard in this environment.

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 10>I think typically what you know if you go back

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.200
<v Speaker 10>to what we saw the post code environment. Initially, there

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 10>was this view that it might be transitory or temporary,

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 10>and that view was dominated by the fact that it

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:42.640
<v Speaker 10>was narrow on a few items used cars, other core

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 10>goods at that.

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 8>Point in time.

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 10>I think to think about it being stickier, you want

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 10>to see it broadening out across the basket. So probably

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 10>not just in core goods items that you can readily

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 10>identify for tarff effects, but other items. So, for example,

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:57.639
<v Speaker 10>as you get vehicle tariffs, you're likely to see car

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 10>repair pick up with some lag. Carncent insurance inflation is

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 10>going to pick up alongside of that. I think those

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:04.880
<v Speaker 10>are the effects that you'd want to see to get

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 10>some sense that it's a little bit stickier than anticipated.

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 5>There was an expectation that in this ninety day pause

0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 5>with China that you'd see a lot of shipments come in,

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 5>that people would front run in and make the data messy, etc.

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 5>We haven't really seen that. There hasn't been a lot

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 5>of action in the ports. Is this still an economy

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 5>and suspended animation and when does that change?

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:21.800
<v Speaker 1>If so?

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 10>I think for a lot of ways it is now

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 10>now a lot of this halting or stalling out is

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:29.400
<v Speaker 10>just give back for surgeon imports that we had head

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 10>in Q one, and so particularly in the trade data,

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 10>you've had this massive volatility where net exports where very

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:36.920
<v Speaker 10>weak in Q one, are going to be very strong

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 10>in Q two, lifting the GDP data. But I think

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 10>the market kind of understands that. I think, but we're

0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 10>now in an environment of where's the pass through to

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 10>the other components of especially what the Fed cares about

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 10>the labor market. Are we seeing layffs take place and

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:50.920
<v Speaker 10>hiring dip so far?

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 8>I think the answer is not.

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:55.439
<v Speaker 10>Last week's jobs report was mixed, but resilient enough I

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 10>think for the market. And then second secondarily when we

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 10>begin to see it in the inflation data again, I

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.640
<v Speaker 10>think we've seen in the PPI data so far, still

0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 10>waiting to see it for the CPI. We're not surprised

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.239
<v Speaker 10>that you haven't seen it yet. Our baseline expectation, if

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 10>you go back to twenty teen twenty nineteen, is that

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 10>it was always going to take until the June, July,

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 10>and August data to see the effect.

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 5>I just want to flag some of the language you

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 5>used when you asked, has there been weakness in the

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 5>labor market? You said not, yes, you didn't say no.

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 5>Are there pockets of weakness that you're looking at that

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 5>you're concerned might bubble up into something more concerning?

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 10>I think you still have this labor market which has

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:29.159
<v Speaker 10>been identified by a low hiring and firing environments. You know,

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 10>if you look at the JOLTS data last week, the

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 10>hiring rate remains low, but layoffs remain extraordinarily low as well.

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 10>That's always been a fragile equilibrium. Now nothing has broken.

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 10>That equilibrium has persist persisted, But there was worries, at

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.359
<v Speaker 10>least initially that the Tarft shock, the uncertainty that's come

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 10>along with it, if financial conditions were tightening, that could

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 10>lead to the layoffs that could kind of break that

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 10>fraguile equilibrium with the labor market weakening more materially. We

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.680
<v Speaker 10>didn't see that last week, but I think that's still

0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 10>a risk as you look ahead.

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned something in a recent note about interest rates

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe stabilized around four to four point five percent. Can

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 2>we sell on that story? Just remind us sure. I

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 2>thought it was a fascinating note. Do you think we've

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.640
<v Speaker 2>adapted fully adapted to an interest rate with something close

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 2>to four percent, And what does that tell you about

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.000
<v Speaker 2>how much this Fed might cut if we see some

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:13.920
<v Speaker 2>weakness down the road.

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, so I think the main chart of that piece

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 10>was showing if you look at where the FED funds

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 10>rate has been, we've been at four point three percent

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 10>since December. If you look at headline PC inflation at least,

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:26.359
<v Speaker 10>it's at two point one percent, basically within spinning distance

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 10>of the Fed's target. And you look at the unemployment rate,

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 10>we've been stuck at four point two percent for several months.

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 8>At this point, that four point.

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 10>Two percent is exactly aligned with what the FED thinks

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 10>the long run unemployment rate is.

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 8>And so if you look at that chart, it looks like.

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 10>You've settled into what you know, economists would call a

0:25:40.320 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 10>steady state for the economy. It actually looks like you've

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:45.360
<v Speaker 10>simulated the economy through a model where you're at kind

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 10>of equilibrium and everything is working its way out. Now,

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:50.639
<v Speaker 10>we've been in the high ur star camp for a while.

0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:53.200
<v Speaker 10>We've we pegged at the nominal nurturate between three and

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.679
<v Speaker 10>a half and three and three quarters, So we've always

0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 10>expected this cutting cycle to be shallower, But we're just

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 10>proposing the possibility that there's not much evidence that we're

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 10>very far away from neutral at the moment.

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 2>This conversation was kicked to the sidelines because of the

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Tower of story over the last few months. I get

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:10.960
<v Speaker 2>all that, but it's the FED moving towards you. Do

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 2>you see the FED moving closer towards you in the

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 2>come in meetings?

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 10>I think so, and we'll get maybe some evidence of

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 10>that next week. We'll get the dot plot next week,

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 10>where I think there's broader expectations that the FED will

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 10>signal on more hawkish stance. We'll be looking at the

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:26.159
<v Speaker 10>long run dot. Does that continue to migrate higher? My

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:28.400
<v Speaker 10>guess is that it does so. They've been at three

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 10>percent for the long run nominal neutral that probably continues

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 10>to move higher. I think the balance of estimates that

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 10>we look at are kind of closer to three.

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 8>And a half percent.

0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 10>But I think to really fully embrace the idea that

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 10>neutral is materially higher, you have to get beyond the

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 10>tariff concerns that the uncertainty shock that we've had and

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:44.640
<v Speaker 10>have a labor.

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 8>Market that still looks resilient three to four months at.

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Essentially took us the next Wednesday. Let's sit on next Wednesday.

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 2>How useful is the rest of the SCP from the

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Federal Reserve.

0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:55.120
<v Speaker 10>I think it's an environment where you know, the Chair

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:57.359
<v Speaker 10>Pale likes to, I think, downplay the signal from the

0:26:57.400 --> 0:27:00.399
<v Speaker 10>SCP when it's kind of convenient. This will be environment

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:02.840
<v Speaker 10>where it's probably very convenient. I think the market will

0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 10>you know, if they only show one cut next week,

0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:08.400
<v Speaker 10>which I think is broadly anticipated, the market will move

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 10>to what a next year's forecast show. Does inflation rise

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 10>a little bit? Are they showing some stickiness there? Are

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 10>they showing less cuts through next year? I think that

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 10>that could signal kind of a more hawker stance. But

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:23.119
<v Speaker 10>I would also anticipate that chairpal kind of tries to

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 10>walk that back in the press conference.

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:25.479
<v Speaker 8>I think they don't know.

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:27.719
<v Speaker 10>You don't have huge confidence about what policy is going

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:30.720
<v Speaker 10>to do this year because they're still terre related to uncertainty,

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 10>fiscal policy uncertainty. A view towards next year about policy

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 10>is going to.

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Be it's not going to be there very much at

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty six. Does that complicate signal? I think the

0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:40.159
<v Speaker 2>top of the.

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 10>Federals f I think for now there are kind of

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 10>more focused on the near term, and so there's sending

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 10>a strong signal that they're in a wait and see mode,

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:51.320
<v Speaker 10>that they're well positioned to respond to risks. And I

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 10>think that signal will continue, you know, certainly over the

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 10>summer months, as perhaps you get some evidence of who

0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:57.920
<v Speaker 10>President Trump may.

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:58.639
<v Speaker 8>Appoint to the board.

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 10>I would expect that in replaceman of Governor Coogler in

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:04.160
<v Speaker 10>January that that could be the next potential FED chair.

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 8>Certainly the market focus will will shift to that.
