6
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: He's the global head of G ten Epic Strategy of

7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank. Joins us here in our Bloomberger and leven

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: three of studios in New York. Let's start with the

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: news out of Spain, right of northern Spain. I suppose

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: I should say what does this mean for for the

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: economy of the region more generally? There are a number

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: of other places, not unlike Cataloni. They're probably watching what's

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: what's unfolding there, watching this dynamic between uh Spain and Catalonia.

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: What are the lessons to be learned, both politically and

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: economically from what we're seeing happened there. Well, I think

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: it's some danger that would you of is some resources

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: get pulled out of Catalonia to other regions in Spain,

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: and you know, net net, those other regions probably benefit

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: to some degree. Catalonia loses art. The uncertainty overall probably

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: means that they're a Spain tends to lose art to

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: some extent, and I think you're seeing that in some

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 1: of the downward revisions to growth. But for the moment

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: at least, I think you know, those downward revisions are

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: are quite modest. Does it say anything to you about

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: the future of the integrity of the European experiment? Does

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: it give you concern about where things might be added? Yeah,

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: I think there's a wider problem here as such. If

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: you know some smaller regions can pull apart and you

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: can actually see independence from from regional elements in Spain,

30
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: you would think that could happen anywhere. And I think

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: it's indicative of what you're seeing in in in a

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: way world, which is, if these smaller regions can fall

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: under a defense umbrella and can adopt a currency as

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: such as stable currency, then why not have some independence

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: in the senses? I think? So, you know, the issue

36
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: you have here is it must be made clear to

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: some extent that there costs to independence as well. Otherwise

38
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see more of this rather

39
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: than less of it. Explain to us why we're not

40
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: seeing wilder swings in the euro as a result of this,

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: as a result of you know, what's been a many

42
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: weeks long ordeal here again in northern Spain. But I

43
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: think we've just you know, come off the French election,

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: where I think there was a genuine perception that this

45
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: was an existential crisis. Is the possibility that you'd have

46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: a government that would actually want to pull out of

47
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: the euro um. I think on the contrary over here,

48
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: it's very very likely that even if you had in

49
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: the Catalonian independence, there would still be adopting the Euro.

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: Just can't quite see them having their only independent central

51
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: banking such And I think in that sense, you don't

52
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: have any of these concerns about you know, past contracts

53
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: effectively and will there be fulfilled, etcetera. So it's not

54
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: perceived as an existential threat in a direct sense. There

55
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: will be issues that relate to Spanish debt and who

56
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: pays for Spanish debt, etcetera, and that would be more

57
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: problematic I think, in the next downturn, But I don't

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: think that's as problematic. Well, you know, it's as big

59
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: an issue as if people feel that, uh, the contracts

60
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: are not going to be on it because there's a

61
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: different currency at play. What was that your takeaway were

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: your takeaways from the annual meetings of the i m

63
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: from the World Bank last week? The the outlook that

64
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: was released by the IMF slightly more optimistic than it

65
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: had been, projecting more growth in the global economy. Of course,

66
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: there's the general condizzance of the fact that we have

67
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: low inflation globally as well. What did you take away

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: from the conversation of those of those leaders of financing

69
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: the economy gathered and Watchington last week. But I think

70
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: it's a quiet optimism. But beneath that, of course, you

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: always have to worry, right, I think these guys are

72
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: to some extent paid to worry and paid to look

73
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: out for what could be the next crisis. Now we've

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: really gone through a period of unbelievable stability and global growth.

75
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean we've you know, if you look at I

76
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: think it's the i m F global growth data, we've

77
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: tracked between roughly about three and three point two for

78
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: five years three two thousand and sixteen. That's unbelievable in

79
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: terms of lack of volatility as such, and it's not

80
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: a great performance from a global growth standpoint. But it's

81
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: okay as such, and now I think the perception is

82
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: we're going to error on the top side of that,

83
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: but that maybe there's other issues lurking in the winds

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: as such. As I think that then that's that's I

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: think what concerns central bankers. Good morning, I want listening.

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just got in. I can I just say,

87
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: David is a starting point. I love four and five

88
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: pm baseball starts. Yeah, well wrapped up at what that's great.

89
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: The kids children actually watched the baseball game. AILCE hosts

90
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, us to talk about today, Ellen Roskin?

91
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: Where this with Deutsche Bank? And I guess one place

92
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: we can start. Alan, lovely to have you here through

93
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: the half hour. It's just a dollar call. It was

94
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: the great missed call of the summer. Why was that?

95
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: Why did Why was everybody long? The dollar? Consensus long? Dollar? Oops?

96
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: It went the other way. Well, I think we've been

97
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: on a trend for a while. It's on and it's

98
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: very difficult to call turning points. And part of the

99
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: turning point I think came through two big sources. One

100
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: was the Trump reflation trade, which had given the dollar

101
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: a boost right at the end of last year that

102
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: that one flagged and flagged quite quite heavily as such.

103
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: And then it came at the same time as the

104
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: French elections tended to remove European political uncertainty to some extent,

105
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: so that put the bit on Europe and put a

106
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: bit on Europe, and then I think you saw a

107
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of investors feel, wait a minute, we were really

108
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: underweight yours and you've had an asset allocation story as

109
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: well into Europe. And then you and I agree that

110
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: technical analysis can keep you out of trouble. You may

111
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: not make any money with it, but it's good at

112
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: not losing money. We've had I guess we've had a

113
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: breakthrough the downtrend. But as you mentioned earlier, there's a

114
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: fragility to this dollar rally. It's not for real, is it. Yes.

115
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: I think it's a problem we have right now in

116
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: the currency world is that we love divergence, right so

117
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: we love the idea that um fed's going to tighten

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: and some other central bank's going to ease. That's a

119
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: relatively easy trade. But right now, actually the euro looks okay.

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, I think is under acid allocation,

121
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: long term acid allocation, and that I think will be

122
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: helpful for the euro going forward. And the European Central

123
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: Bank is tightening, albeit it's really effectively just tapering its

124
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: past quear such, but it's we are in a world

125
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: now where central banks in general thinking of tightening. So

126
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: this is we've got a horse race here and they go,

127
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: but they're all running in the same direction, which makes

128
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: a little bit more confusing for us. How cheap is

129
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: the the yeen at this point? Is there value on

130
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: the yeen as you see it right now? There's value

131
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: on a long term basis, and so much as pretty

132
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: much all our longer term metrics suggest it's cheap by

133
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: in the order of saw so PPP purchasing power parity

134
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: indicators suggests the low nineties rather than in a twelve,

135
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: So there's there's a big difference there. And historically when

136
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: you do see divergences of over that does suggest you

137
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: need to go in the opposite direction. It's time to

138
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: buy yen. But I think it's a little too early,

139
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: the cause too early, because I think right now it's

140
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: essentially been driven by US treasuries and the US tenure

141
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: heel you we We confuse that a little bit. We

142
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: pretend we're playing Dolly Yen. Yeah, but we're actually really

143
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: trading the U S tenure heeled, and I think the

144
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: U S tenure heeled on balance is going to move

145
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: highron heeled. I want to ask you the money questions

146
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: just to explain your strong yarn means that yet No.

147
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: One twelve goes down to one hundred or ninety or

148
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: whatever goes to a lower statistic p p P. Can

149
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: guys on the street make money off of p PP analysis?

150
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean this goes ages ago to Kassal of eighteen

151
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: and even before that. Can you make money and a

152
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: p p P analysis or is that just too sixty feet? Um? Yeah, no,

153
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: it might be Highland might be even more rarefied to

154
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: some extent in terms of trying to make money, because look,

155
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: I think you can. You're gonna cross have a p

156
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: p P maybe once every five years exactly, but I

157
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 1: think you do want to be very alert to extremes

158
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: relative to when you're suggesting. Is a decent democad in

159
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: terms of extremes for old G ten currencies. Actually, this

160
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: is why we do surveillance, folks. You just had a

161
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: clinic on what you do within the set of observations.

162
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: You have to make a set up to get to

163
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: a trade. Whether your trade is two days, I mean

164
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Ruskin is trading over two hour period. But whether it's

165
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: two hours of two days or two years, there's there's

166
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: a mix here of things, and you've got to be

167
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: sure you're looking at something like P P P over

168
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: the appropriate time frame and amplitude. Here end of the lecture,

169
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Alan rescued with Deutsche Bank will continue. David Girl will

170
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: try to do something less esoteric than that. David lead

171
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: it off here, but first Abby sends in a really

172
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: smart tweet about what do we mean when we mean

173
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: long dollar. That's that's a really really smart question, and

174
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: that with the dollar is the global currency. You can

175
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: look at it versus many different pairs, or you can

176
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: look at it on a trade weighted basis. Is well

177
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: is taking trade weighted which can be like ten countries

178
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: or twenty seven countries, whatever it is, plus the Euro.

179
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: There are indexes that allow us to look at the

180
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: dollar discreetly. The classic index is the d X Y,

181
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: which we quote, and there's a new index of Bloomberg

182
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: Dollar Index which on your Bloomberg is b B d

183
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: x Y, which is actually really good math. So when

184
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: we say long dollar, that's strong dollar. David is usually

185
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: based off one of those blended in disease that bring

186
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: in all the different currency pairs. Very good. No one

187
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: drove off the road, Ruskin Doll. He's here from Dutch

188
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: back of course, and Allen I wanted to ask. We

189
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: just heard from Chris Kirkham about the parlor game about

190
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: who's going to lead the Fed. Here. We're going to

191
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: get a decision from the president, he says by November

192
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: the third, when he leaves on for this trip to Asia.

193
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: How does the market price that in? We hear that

194
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: John Taylor is in the lead this week, it was

195
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: Kevin Warsh last week. There's still a lot of movement

196
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: among the ranks of these five candidates. The president, his

197
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: interviewer is going to interview. I think he sits down

198
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: with Janet Ye in the FED chair today. How is

199
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: the market processing what may or may not happen here? David,

200
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: It's very difficult for the market process this because we're

201
00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: seeing the indicators of who's the favorite things like predict

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: to a one one example, very very flighty in terms

203
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: of responding very much to the next headliners. So if

204
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: you took that at face value and say, the market's

205
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: expectations of who's going to be the next chair is

206
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: just flipping around. And I think there's a sense that

207
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: right now Powell is in the forefront, Yellen's certainly in

208
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: the running and on the rise perhaps, and I think

209
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: beyond that, Kevin Walsh is perceived to be in decline

210
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: and John Taylor is on the rise as well. But

211
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: that is, you know, really based off the last few

212
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg headlines. How much does it does it matter after

213
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: somebody dealing with currencies? How much does the appointment of

214
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: a FED term matter in the near term? I think this, this,

215
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: this is one of the matters a lot. Yes, I think,

216
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, you've had a few changes which matter a lot.

217
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: I think Vulka coming in, actually green Span following Volka,

218
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: those who are potential shifts in regime very relevant for

219
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: you know today Black Monday really because that transition was

220
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: part of the Black Monday story. I think the handover

221
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: from Greenspan to Banankee and Banankee to yell And was

222
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: much more benign. I think I think the sense was

223
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: that the frameworks would essentially stay unchanged. It depends now

224
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: who the next FT chair is. If you do have

225
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: someone like Taylor, and if you have someone like more

226
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: warsh or maybe cone Um, then the prospect is that

227
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: actually there's some regime change. If we do shift towards

228
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: a more rules based FED, that's going to be extremely interesting.

229
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: The market right now is taking that as a sign

230
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: that in the short term at least, the FED would

231
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: be more hawkish. In the long term, who knows, um.

232
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: I would say this, it's not that simple in terms

233
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: of market reaction, because what will happen is if you

234
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: get a more hawkish pick for the FED, the equity

235
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: market will probably go down to the point where bonds

236
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: might even rally. Really, so you've got to be careful

237
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: here in a sense. So in fact, the yield curving

238
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: general is going to flatten in a more hawkish pick,

239
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: and it's going to steep and really on a more

240
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: davish pick. And that's partly because the equity market will

241
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: be the arbiter in terms of driving the bond market.

242
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: We've spoken a few times since the last presidential election.

243
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: I think each time I ask you how clear a

244
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: sense you have of this administration's trade policy. What have

245
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: we learned this week? This fourth round of NAP negotiations,

246
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: taking place outside of Washington, ended with a press conference

247
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: that I think could safely say it wasn't optimistic about

248
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: where things are. Hadn't we have a president still talking

249
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: about terminating at the n after deal. How much does

250
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: that weigh on the pay so so? Um, it was

251
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: weighing on the page so over the last few weeks. Absolutely, so,

252
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: it's been a big deal. At the same time, I

253
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: would say, don't get caught up with the short term

254
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: headlines easeration. You really don't have a deal until we

255
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: have a deal. I lost money last night betting on

256
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It comes being I'm Hailey, Corfax told me

257
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: to go along Dodgers and I got crushed. Can make

258
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: it back on dollar pay? So is there a directional

259
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank a way for me to make that trade back?

260
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: That's not the one I would recommend everybody. Which trade?

261
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Which trade can I use for immediate alpha? Yeah? Well, look,

262
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: I think you know, if you were looking in Latin America,

263
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: I'd much prefer the idea that you'd go to the

264
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Brazilian real because that's you know, it's more stable, it's

265
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: it's got decent healed and I think you're gonna earn

266
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: your carry on long Brazilian rail versus US dollar. Yeah.

267
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: And and the yen Colin of the twins put that

268
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: trade in. Please if if we lose money on it,

269
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: take it out of Hailey kofax is Uh Pacheck Dodgers

270
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: Cubs CUB three to two over the Dodgers. Allen Ruskin,

271
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: thank you so much for wisdom across assets and particularly

272
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: on foreign exchange. He is with Deutsche Bank. Stay with us.

273
00:14:52,200 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg. Dennis Gartman tried to buy Kansas City

274
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: wheat in the depths of the crash, of honored that

275
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: he would join us. Uh this morning, Uh, Dennis, I

276
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: think within your beautiful essay we can go to when

277
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: the shift occurred. For me, it was about two pm,

278
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: maybe one thirty in the afternoon, where we took out

279
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: paper tickets and started buying those of us courage and

280
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: courageous enough to know the underlying economics. And we didn't

281
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: know for four four days if our trades were filled.

282
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: What did you do at two pm on the day

283
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: of the crash? Threw up a lot of people were

284
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: doing up. Yeah, it wasn't It was an incredible day,

285
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: and as I was trying to explain this morning in

286
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: my commentary, I knew what was going to happen. On

287
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon. I was with some friends from North Carolina State.

288
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: We were going to a football game, and we were

289
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: we checked in on our phone because our phone started ringing.

290
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: The doll was down a hundred on Friday afternoon before

291
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: the crash, and people don't think much about a hundred

292
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: points now, but then that was the first time the

293
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: doll had ever fallen by a hundred, and I was

294
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: worried about what was going to happen Monday with what

295
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: we now know. Who became the problem with portfolio insurance

296
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: because you knew that there were going to be a

297
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: huge amount of cell orders coming in. What was I

298
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: doing Tuesday or Monday afternoon? Like I said, I was

299
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: throwing up. It was an incredible experience, one I shall

300
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: never forget, and one that's still here thirty years later.

301
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: Colors how I think about everything because I'm always worried

302
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: that we may have yet another one of those again.

303
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: I strongly agree with that, But to carry forward here

304
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: down twenty six is a bear market? Ten percent is

305
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: a correction? Or with the structure of our economy and

306
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: finance today, Uh, Dennis Gartman, do you have to put

307
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: a new number on a bear market if it's not,

308
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: if it's not eighteen percent, what's a bear mark? In

309
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: two oh? I think actually that we give it much

310
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: too much leeway saying that you have to be down

311
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: before you constituted as a bear market. You can actually

312
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: have a bear market started much earlier than that. If

313
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: you have one failed to go to new highs to

314
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: take out a previous low. You could have the start

315
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: of a bear market if you were only down five percent.

316
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of how much farther down you

317
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: can go once down gets started. But what's the kount

318
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: What what constitutes today? I guess I'll still go with

319
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: and say when we're down, the public will have become

320
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: concerned that prices may go down further. I want to

321
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: go back to something you just said, which is it

322
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: it really shaped the way that you think about the

323
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: markets and think about investing. How did it change your

324
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: sense of the irrationality of markets? Prior to that time,

325
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: I was a believer that markets were rational until that time,

326
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: I actually did believe that markets probably could remain rational.

327
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: After that time, I understood that irrationality can break out

328
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: it almost any one period of time. And in the

329
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: words of my my good friend Gary showing, the market

330
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent, and

331
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: my corollary to that, as the market will return to

332
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: rationality the moment you have been rendered insolvent. Let's talk

333
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: a bit about the stock market here. We've been mentioning

334
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: this throughout the show. That we hit twenty three thousand

335
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: on the Dow yesterday. You're right, this morning prices may

336
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: be egregiously, preposterously, dangerously, unimaginably overextended to the upside, but

337
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: they may become even more preposterously, even more dangerously, even

338
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: more unimaginably overextended to the upside before they turn lower.

339
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: How do you react to the highest that we're seeing, Dennis,

340
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: When they start bringing out the hats for the thousand,

341
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: three thousands, you almost become it's as you just did.

342
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: It's almost laughable. The market is ridiculously overpriced. It has

343
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: been for several weeks, it has been for several months.

344
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: Perhaps today, perhaps yesterday was a high who knows, only

345
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: time shall tell, but it does look a little precarious

346
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: this morning. I guess some of the weakness can be

347
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: attributed to the promised extent in Spain and Catalonia. But

348
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: here here, nonetheless, we're down and we're not bouncing today,

349
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: and that is that alone is concerting. Do I think

350
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: that the market can make new highs? No, I really

351
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: don't um but is it possible. It's possible, but I

352
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: don't think it shall Debnis Garment. I spoke to Colne

353
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: resident this week and went through the usual litany of

354
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: optimism and some of the things pushing against it. And

355
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: one thing I mentioned, I'm looking out into two thousand

356
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: eighteen is on the edge of Jack Welch, the idea

357
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 1: of we lose pricing power, and I'm frankly focusing this

358
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: in where areas were at the revenue line. You've got

359
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: unit dynamics and price dynamics, and there's something in the wind.

360
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: There's something changed. Do you agree with that? Uh, it's

361
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: it's it feels like that this morning, suddenly out of

362
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: nowhere has come rather rather agreed his price weakness today

363
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: could be a very important day. Let's be blunt if

364
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: you don't rally. And in the past, we've had these

365
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: mornings where the Dow was down a hundred, where the

366
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: SMP was down fifteen, where the mask Act was down

367
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: forty or fifty, and by ten thirty or eleven o'clock

368
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: we were staging a rally and heading for new highs.

369
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: If it doesn't do that today, the game has changed.

370
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: Are you willing to put money on that? I mean,

371
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: the great acclaim of Dennis Gartman is he actually shows

372
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: his trades in the back. I believe Dennis in your

373
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: Morning note, there's no equity trades. It's the usual gold malarkey.

374
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: And you and your commodity of fixation and better North

375
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: Carolina football? Are you going to institute an equity trade?

376
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: We got to get out in front of this and

377
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: make news at Bloomberg Surveillance. Well, actually, late yesterday afternoon,

378
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: I'll find things on my own before I'll put them

379
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: in the newsletter, just to test the water. And I

380
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: bought a few puts yesterday afternoon, not many, just a few.

381
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: I gave an order to my to the young man

382
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: who works on me back home. I'm not I'm an

383
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: akron this morning for an endowment committee meeting, but I

384
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: gave him a note saying, if we don't rally by

385
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: and buy some more puts, if we are still down

386
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: by the end of the day, I'll probably officially come

387
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: out tomorrow and say, let's buy some puts. Do you

388
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: place your orders through MC trucks, spread and whatever the

389
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: name is. I mean, do you get taken on put

390
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: options like the rest of us? No? No, not really.

391
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's the liquidity, and the puts is

392
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: really quite magnificent. So you know, I don't trade large

393
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty and thirty and forty lots of the time. I

394
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: don't trade thousand lots, but thirty and forty you can

395
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: get a good price within a penny or two of

396
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: what you saw last on the screen. And for me,

397
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: that's that's quote David David Doug cast just fell off

398
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: his chair in Florida. He knows Gartman's starting order is

399
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: five thousand. That's his odd lots. Spurious spurious allegations. Dennis,

400
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: I love the I love the occasional estery in your

401
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: your letter, and this morning you write about the importance

402
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: of the Kiwi dollar. Why are you watching the Kiwi

403
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: dollar this morning? Because something strange has happened there. Politically,

404
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: New Zealand has been governed by a reasonably adroit center

405
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: right UH Nationalist Party as they're called. They've done a

406
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: very nice job. But suddenly the Labor Party, which is

407
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: far left, the Young Lady, has taken the reins of

408
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: the Labor Party, got within about five percent of the Nationals,

409
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: and a very strange fellow, Winston Peters, who is trade

410
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: protectionist of the first to order and I think a

411
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: very dangerous fellow, got about fourteen percent of the vote

412
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: and he cast his lot with the left. Suddenly you

413
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: now have a very far left, trade protectionist government in

414
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: New Zealand which is archly different, archly changed. And the

415
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: New Zealand dollar got colabored on that that I find

416
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: to be very dangerous because New Zealand has been a

417
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: very a solid, stable country. Suddenly it looks unstable that

418
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: I find disconcerting. So to send this up your strong

419
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: US dollar, we New Zealand dollar, Yeah, you should be.

420
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: This is a change. This is a very material change

421
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: in governance in New Zealand and in the past, as

422
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: I said, New Zealand has always been an interesting place.

423
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: They were the first place that really aggressively cut tax

424
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: revenues to prove that you could cut revenue, cut tax,

425
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: cut tax rates and take in more revenues. They they've

426
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: been an experimental point and when New Zealand changes, I

427
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: pay attention. Good morning to Julian Robertson. Hope you're listening.

428
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: I'll let Mr Robertson figure out what to do with Kiwi.

429
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: David grew a massive surveillance correction. I was suggesting that

430
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: someone on our Bloomberg surveillance team was from New Zealand. Um,

431
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't get. I don't use anything

432
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: under the Southern Hemisphere. I don't get starting with the Philippines.

433
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: But I would suggest that I greatly insulted Mr Bickannan. Yes,

434
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's from. Maybe one of those

435
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: islands with penguins on it down there. He's not from

436
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: New Zealand and of the world. We don't know. Good morning,

437
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: christ Church. I'm sorry I made a mistake. You're apologizing

438
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: to them for making us very good? All right, why

439
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: don't you bring into this gartment with this here editor

440
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: and publisher, the Gartment letter for another block and down.

441
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: We got to talk about commodities some here. The last

442
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: time you were on, we've just been through the third

443
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: of these three hurricanes that we've experienced over these last

444
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: many months. What's the fallout of the band as you

445
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: look at cotton, as you look at oil, as you

446
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: look at other commodities. How much of an impact that

447
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: those three storms have on the complex? None? Nothing, nothing.

448
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: It had absolutely nothing. It had impact upon refineries, It

449
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: had impact upon the crude oil production facilities for a while,

450
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: but didn't have any impact upon the corn market. No,

451
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: didn't have any impact upon the soybean market. Marginally, didn't

452
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,239
Speaker 1: have any impact at all upon cotton for a day

453
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: or two, and that certainly went away. So there's been

454
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: absolutely no impact from the hurricanes. There was some concern

455
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: several days ago that you might get an early frost

456
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: out on the high plane it's Texas and in some

457
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: of the parts in the Midwest, and it might delay

458
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: the harvest of corn and soybeans, But even that has

459
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: gone the way of all flesh. So the impact has

460
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: been marginal at best and almost non existent. Uh. We

461
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 1: were talking about the Keywi dollars mentioning estery a moment ago.

462
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: You're right about Egypt in this morning. So this is

463
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: fascinating to me as well. On the subject of wheat. Uh,

464
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: Egypt had been a huge market here and no longer

465
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: is What are we seeing there and what does that

466
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: mean for the global market. Well, what's interesting is people

467
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: don't realize. I mean, first of all, wheat production in

468
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: the world is still the largest employer of any business

469
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: in the world. Uh, it's it's an interesting statistic. Wheat

470
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: is the most important food in the world, and in

471
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: the past, for many, many years, Egypt was Egypt has

472
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: always been the world's largest net importer on a national

473
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: basis of wheat, and they were our best client for

474
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: many years. They have ceased to be. They actually last

475
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: year where the number thirty seven buyer of of of

476
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: wheat from the United States. They didn't take any until

477
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: in May of this year, which is unusual, and we

478
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: have lost that market to the Russians, to the Romanians,

479
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: to the Bulgarians, to the Black Sea States generally, to Australia,

480
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: to Canada. Perhaps it's the response of a stronger US

481
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: dollar in some instances, but even that's not to be

482
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: considered true any longer because the dollar hasn't been that strong.

483
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: It's just interesting that we have lost the the biggest

484
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: buyer on a consistent basis, and it maybe a while

485
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: before we get them back. And what's even more interesting,

486
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: we used to have a buying station there the U

487
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: s WEAD Associates, and they've actually closed their office, which

488
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: might well be a sign of the fact that the

489
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: worst is behind us. How are you watching these these

490
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: negotiations with Canada and Mexico unfold? I wondered the degree

491
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: to which that's weighing on commodities at this point, that

492
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: the prospect of the US pulling out of the North

493
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: American Free Trade Agreement changes to that deal at the

494
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: very least, what does that mean for for American commodities. Well,

495
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: first of all, I think that the idea of pulling

496
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: out of the NAFTA would be one of the silliest

497
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: ideas imaginable. All three countries, Hanada, the United States, and

498
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: Mexico have all been well served on balance and in

499
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: general terms by the NAFTA. Now, have there been some

500
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: industries in the United States where jobs have been lost,

501
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: of course, and those always get the headlines. Perhaps some

502
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: of the in the auto industry have been that way,

503
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: But on balance, it's been good for all three countries.

504
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: And to think that it and and and the press

505
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: always goes to the businesses that have lost jobs. They

506
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: never go to the businesses that have quietly picked up jobs.

507
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a firm believer that doing away with NAFTA

508
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: would be an ill advised decision, but it has it

509
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: speaks well to the president's political base, and they want

510
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: to be done done away with. I think that would

511
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: be a very very bad decision. Do you have your

512
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl tickets yet? I mean, it's using to making jokes.

513
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: But and one North Carolina State folks as a bye

514
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: and then they have Notre Dame in a school named Clemson.

515
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: Am I pronounced correctly? David? You go? You are? You

516
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: got these two sorts coming up after after Clemson has

517
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: lost some of the some people are calling them Clemson

518
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: you have you've written a check for a million dollars

519
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: to the school or something to make this happen or

520
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: how did this miracle happen? Of six and one NC

521
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: State four and oh a MLB. I don't know, but

522
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: I believe in miracles, and let's thank goodness that's happened

523
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: this year. I was getting despondent after years of being

524
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: a doormat. For the first time in a long while,

525
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: we actually look good. No, let's leave it there, Dennis Garton,

526
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Denni's honor to have you with this.

527
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: This October ninete really an historic It is John and

528
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Jerry and mentioned on Twitter a really emotional day for

529
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: the people that actually lived through it. Thanks for that note, John,

530
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: David Girl, I want you to bring in our next guest,

531
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: but I want to say this clearly. What you usually

532
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: do in geography is start with the map. But it

533
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: may be a U. S. G S map, maybe this

534
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: map of that map. But what we know is within

535
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: the study of geography, all good work comes out of Scandinavia.

536
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: I really don't know why it is, but the Danes,

537
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: the Swedes, the Norwegians, but particularly Denmark. Denmark, Denmark owns

538
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: the high ground on the global study of human geography

539
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: and the economics of geography. And I'm thrilled that our

540
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: next guest carries that tradition forward. Go Sardia Mattsburg joins

541
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: us now. She's a managing director of the Rockefeller Foundation,

542
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: former senior vice president for Strategic Planning, at the New

543
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: York City Economic Development Corporation and what caught our eyes

544
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: a piece that she co authored for the Rockefeller Foundation,

545
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: also published on the Huffington Post, Fighting Wildfire with Finance.

546
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: As we continue to watch the fires raging in Wine

547
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: country in California, she joins us on our phone line, Saudia,

548
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: I looked at the San Francisco Chronicle this morning. That

549
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: newspaper has done incredible coverage of these fires and made

550
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: that coverage available for free to people who go to

551
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: the paper's website, and the edit torial this morning begins.

552
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: For years now, the U. S. Forest Service has been

553
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: forced to pill for firefighting funds from accounts for fire

554
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: prevention as more and more lands across the West burn.

555
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: And this gets to the heart of what you're writing

556
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: about and what the Rockefeller Foundation is doing. How big

557
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: a problem is this, the gamesmanship involving funds for fighting

558
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: and preventing fires. So thank you for having me on

559
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: the show, David. It is a really serious problem. If

560
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: you look at the development of the U. S. Forest

561
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: Service budget, Historically, UH prevention used to be, you know,

562
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: the biggest chunk of the budget. And by prevention, it's

563
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: basically going in and maintaining the health of our forest,

564
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, taking away dead trees, um, doing controlled burns,

565
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, things that keep the forest healthy and preventing

566
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: it from overgrown. Um. If you look at the budget today,

567
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: it accounts for roughly fifty of the spend. Not because

568
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: the US Force Service doesn't think that it's important to

569
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: do prevention anymore, but they're just so much under pressure

570
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: because of the fires that keep recurring year after year

571
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: and get you know, more and more out of control.

572
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: So they, you know, what used to be fifteen percent

573
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: of the budget is now So as the wrangling over

574
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: the budget goes on in Washington, d C. How you're

575
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: proposing a new way of paying for prevention. Tell us

576
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: a bit about the financial instrument that you've you've written

577
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: about in your piece and how that might effectively or

578
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: more effectively prevent the kind of fires that we're seeing

579
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: in California today. So the situations that we're facing, or

580
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: the US for Our Services facing, is that there's a

581
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: backlog when it comes to prevention that runs in the

582
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: tens of billions. So regardless of what ends up happening

583
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: with you know, next year's budget, that doesn't solve the problem.

584
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: The problem remains. You know, there may be a slight

585
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: budget card or you mean the budget may remain the same,

586
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: but that doesn't take away from the fact that there's

587
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: not enough money to go in and restore the forest.

588
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: So that we don't keep reading about wildfire situations in

589
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: northern California and the great devastation that they're causing era

590
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: the year after year. The idea that we have been

591
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: funding a company called Blue Force Conservation to look at

592
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: is how can you bring capital markets to bear? How

593
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: can you take finance and use it as a powerful

594
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: tool for good. So in a situation where the public

595
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: sector doesn't have the money or not putting up the

596
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: money to do this, and philanthropy doesn't have money in

597
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: the tens of billions of dollars to put against this problem,

598
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: can we create a regular financial product that would be

599
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: attractive to private investors so money can be raised. And

600
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: in this case, it's a debt product that would be

601
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: issued as a bond, the money from those proceeds used

602
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: to do the Force restoration work and and and the

603
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: private investors would get repaid over time as I would

604
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: with any other financial products. Are the incentives from insurance

605
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: adapting and adjusting like they have for hurricanes. Are the

606
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: tragedy of California. Will that be amended in the next

607
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: five to twenty years by insurance companies that say we're

608
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: not going to ensure this risk. So I think many

609
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: things need to happen in parallel term. I don't think

610
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: that it will just be the pressure from the insurance companies,

611
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: because that would just leave us in a situation where

612
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: somebody still has to put up the money. And if

613
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: the public sector doesn't have the money, then where do

614
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: we turn. Um. So, yes, that could help with the situation,

615
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: but that alone wouldn't solve the problem. I was I think,

616
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I was looking at some of some numbers yesterday,

617
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: and when we look at the devastation, you know, it's

618
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: it's terrible to read about the fatalities and the people

619
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: that are still missing. But the economic losses are estimated

620
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: to be somewhere between three to six billion currently for

621
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: Northern California and growing um. And you know, it's also

622
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: worsening the state's housing supply crunch. Um there's an estimate

623
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: that the housing stock is going to drop by roughly

624
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: three percent. So those are deeply problematic issues. And yes,

625
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: the pressure from the insurance companies if they refuse to ensure,

626
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: would would you know, force us to address it? But

627
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: but more is needed. How do you respond, as a

628
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: grizzled McKinsey prone at the Rockefeller Foundation to the cynic

629
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: who says, look, we're building the houses where the mountain

630
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: lions used to be. What a surprise, mountain lions are

631
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: eating our dogs? Are we building houses and in fire

632
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: risk areas that we shouldn't be building? So we've been

633
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: doing that for dicades now, tom um and and that's

634
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: just the reality we find ourselves in. We have built

635
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: houses and structures closer and closer to nature, um and

636
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: we have not spent money taking care of the forest.

637
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: So we've left a lot of fuel in those forests,

638
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: which means when natural fires occur, they turn into wildfires.

639
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: And you know, we can't be in a situation where

640
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: we sit and hope that there's going to be rain

641
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: or that the winds are not going to pick up

642
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: so that the situation can come under control. We need

643
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: to be more active. And you know the public sector

644
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: doesn't have the budget. Let's look to the private markets.

645
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: How will that private market incentivize innovation or evolution in

646
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: the way that we fight fires like these. So the

647
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: U S for A Service, if you look at the

648
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: public sector, they recognize that investing in prevention is the

649
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: right thing to do. I mean, you can look a

650
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: lot at the numbers and the case adds up. It

651
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: costs forty times more to put out a fire that

652
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: it costs to prevent it. So you know the numbers

653
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: that there is. There's research that has been done on

654
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: cost avoidance where the U S FORUR Service has worked

655
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 1: with some of the NGOs in the space, the CRA

656
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: Nevada can Disermancy and the Nature Conservancy. So they recognize

657
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: it the challenges. How do you then take it from

658
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: that and turn it into something that's real and starts

659
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: to have an effect. It won't solve the problem in

660
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: a year. It's going to take years of work to

661
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: do it. Do it right under the governance of the

662
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: US for Service UM. But then we'll get to a

663
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: better place where we don't see the situations that we've

664
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: been reading about this year and last year as well. Sardi,

665
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,920
