Yet more weak 193 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: economic data out of China, this time in the services sector, 194 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 3: is putting a damper on sentiment after a week that 195 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 3: saw the S and P five hundred rise to and 196 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: a half percent on encouraging economic data for the US. 197 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: So let's get this trading week started. We're joined by 198 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 3: laur Calvacina, head of US Equity strategy at RBC Capital Markets. Laurie, 199 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 3: it's great to speak with you. As always. What does 200 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 3: ongoing weakness in China mean for investments here in the US? 201 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 7: Hit Well, thanks for having me as always, and look, 202 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 7: I think there are two issues. Whenever we see you know, 203 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 7: sort of weakness in China is one, what does that 204 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 7: mean for US equity markets from a flow perspective. China 205 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 7: was one of the hot trades to start the year. 206 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 7: There was a lot of negative views on the US 207 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 7: and we've really seen that reverse, you know, in recent months. Unfortunately, 208 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 7: we're not getting those inplos and the US equity funds, 209 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 7: especially on the large cash side right now, so we'll 210 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 7: need to watch that. But secondly, what are the skill 211 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 7: of our effects into the US economy? And right now 212 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 7: the vote seems to be that they'll be minimal. On 213 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 7: the US economic outlook seems to be improving if you 214 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 7: look at some of the calls that are being made 215 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 7: around the street today, while the view on China and 216 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 7: even Europe frankly seems to be softening. So I think 217 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 7: those are really the two you know, kind of cross 218 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 7: currents that are somewhat conflicting that we have to keep 219 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 7: an eye on. 220 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: No, I would be curious to get your call your 221 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: team at RBC are thinking with particularly now that we've 222 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: gotten this call from Goldman Sachs that the chance for 223 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 3: a recession in the US is now down to what 224 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 3: fifteen percent? Are you that bullish? 225 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 7: Well, you know, it's interesting we watch you know, we 226 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 7: watched the Goldman call. They're certainly quite prolific and vocal, 227 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 7: and I think they've had a you know, sort of 228 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 7: a good sense of where things are headed in terms 229 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 7: of broader sentiments. But we've also been watching very closely 230 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 7: that consensus data point tracked by Bloomberg, which has been 231 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 7: sort of stubbornly stuck at the sixty percent level and 232 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 7: not moving even though the news flow around the economic 233 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 7: discussion has been improving. So I'm not quite sure what's 234 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 7: going on with that ladder data set. But I do 235 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 7: think this call today is interesting. You know, I have 236 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 7: the luxury of being the US equity strategist, not in 237 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 7: as so I make calls on the market as opposed 238 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 7: to that GDP forecast directly. But what I do tell 239 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 7: clients is it feels to me. And you know, this 240 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 7: is something we were saying early last year that this 241 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 7: really smells more like twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, where the 242 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 7: economic damage may not quite end up being a recession, 243 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 7: maybe something you know, sort of a cousin to a recession. 244 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 7: But regardless, you know, my job is to call the 245 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 7: equity markets, and I think we've priced in a recession 246 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 7: last October. Whether or not we get one still remains 247 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 7: to be seen, but I think we've paid the price 248 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 7: for one that we may not even end up getting. 249 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 3: So where do you see the momentum for stocks at 250 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: this point? With the with the way that the economic 251 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: backdrop looks right now. 252 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 7: So I think that stocks are at an interesting point. 253 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 7: You know, we've noted, similar to some of my other 254 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 7: competitors on the street, that sentiment has gotten a little 255 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 7: bit stretched over the summer. That's something we haven't liked. 256 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 7: The appeal of stocks relative to bonds has been worsening, 257 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 7: and that has actually been showing up in the flows, 258 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 7: which is a little bit of a concern to me. 259 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 7: Actually heading into sort of a seasonally tough period of 260 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 7: the year. The last five or six years, August through 261 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 7: October has not been a friend to the US equity market. 262 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 7: That being said, the economic narrative does seem to be 263 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 7: improving a little bit at the margin. I think that 264 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 7: the conference season that we're heading into now post Labor 265 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 7: Day has historically proven very, very valuable to investors because 266 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 7: we can get answers to some extent to questions on 267 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 7: whether or not those spillover effects from China will end 268 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 7: up influencing the US. We know from the last reporting 269 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 7: season and really the one before it that whatever this is, economically, 270 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 7: it is starting. We are starting to see pockets of 271 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 7: weakness in certain parts of the consumer, certain parts of 272 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 7: the corporate psyche. How bad that is really getting, I 273 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 7: think is going to be a key topic in this 274 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 7: conference season the next few weeks. 275 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: And one aspect of the market that you watch pretty 276 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 3: closely is the impact of politics. We do have the 277 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: prospect of a government shutdown at the end of this month. 278 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 3: Is that something that you're concerned about. Is that something 279 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: that you're warning your clients about. 280 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 7: You know, we've been talking a little bit more about 281 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 7: the election than the government shutdown, and frankly, we've been 282 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 7: getting more questions on the election next year than the 283 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 7: government shutdown. But I do think, you know, we are 284 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 7: starting to hear more rumblanks about this potential shutdown just 285 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 7: over the last week or so, and in a context 286 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 7: in which you know, you sort of enter into again 287 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 7: this seasonally kind of tough period for markets. It's definitely 288 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 7: something to keep an eye on. I do think that 289 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 7: equity investors tend to think when these issues come up 290 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 7: that it will go down to the wire, it will 291 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 7: get resolved at the end. So you really, you know, 292 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 7: probably won't see it take too much of a hit 293 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 7: until you really get close, you know, to that particular 294 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 7: you know, date of stress. But it is, you know, 295 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 7: it is. It is definitely a concern. 296 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 297 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 298 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 299 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 300 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 301 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 302 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: am whilst Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 303 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine one in Washington, Bloomberg 304 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty 305 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. 306 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 307 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
