We are 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: live on Bloomberg Television weekday mornings from six to nine 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 2: am Eastern. Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify or 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: anywhere else you listen, and as always on the Bloomberg 9 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: Terminal and the Bloomberg Business app. We begin this out 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: with stocks coming off the fortieth record high close of 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 2: the year so far, as optimism builds around ray cuts 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 2: in the US and stimulus measures in China. Emily Rowland 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 2: of John Hancock saying, while the risk on environment is 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: tempting to leverage up into we would be mindful here 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 2: that a lot of good news is being priced into 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: riskier assets. 17 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: Emily joins us for more. 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: Emily, more good news, more good news, overnight stimulus measures 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: out of China. Is there a reason to buy this 20 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: morning based on that? 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 4: I mean, look one of the biggest risk to being 22 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 4: underweight China and underweight emerging markets, is that policymakers can 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 4: come through with these big packages. I don't know if 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 4: I'd necessarily call it a bazuka, and it likely needs 25 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 4: to be followed up by more on the fiscal side. 26 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 4: But this is creating this risk on rotation or prompting 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 4: it to continue. 28 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: You know, as we see these big moves. 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 4: I think you guys have been making some great points 30 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 4: this morning about is this actually going to get the 31 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 4: Chinese consumer off the sidelines. That remains to be seen, 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 4: but certainly this is adding to the momentum and the 33 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 4: sentiment that's permeating markets right now, which is that everything's 34 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 4: pretty great. 35 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: Well when you look at the US versus the rest 36 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: of the world, does it change the story for you? 37 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: Is it enough? 38 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: You know, John, it doesn't. 39 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 4: And it's really amazing to wake up in the morning 40 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 4: and you see this terrible data out of Germany from 41 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 4: the IFO to manufacturing. I mean German manufacturing PMI is 42 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 4: at forty right now, that is in recessionary territory. And meanwhile, 43 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 4: you know, you look at the DATS and it's up 44 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 4: one percent. 45 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: So I think Mark it's. 46 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 4: Globally or really reacting to the FED pivot the fifty 47 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 4: basis point cut stimulus out of China. 48 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: Again. We want to be fully invested here. 49 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: But we want to be mindful of going over our 50 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 4: skis and taking risk in a market where you know, 51 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 4: I know, you've been shaming everybody for saying price for 52 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 4: perfection all morning, but it is really in the price 53 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: with the S and P five hundred reaching new all 54 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 4: time highs every day. Underneath the surface, we would suggest 55 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 4: just being mindful of taking too much risk. 56 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 5: It's not shaming, Emily. We think that it's a valid phrase. 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 5: It sticks in our minds, which is the reason why 58 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 5: both John and myself write it down when people. 59 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 6: Say it, which is frequently. 60 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 5: I am curious about how difficult it is to remain 61 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 5: cautious at a time where you see so much risk 62 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 5: on appetite and a fed that seems to be behind 63 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 5: part of it. 64 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: At least it's rich, really tough. 65 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I think again, we are fully invested, we're 66 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 4: you know, we're buying high quality stocks and bonds. 67 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: But I think the trickiest time in any. 68 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: Economic cycle to be bare is at the very beginning 69 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 4: and the very end of it. 70 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's what's happening now. 71 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 4: You know, we think about it like the music's getting 72 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 4: turned up at the end of every cycle. The music 73 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 4: gets turned up as inflation comes down the challenges. 74 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: It gets really, really loud. 75 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 4: Until you start to see initial jobless claims picking up 76 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 4: and high yield bond spreads widen, and then things change quickly. 77 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: They go quiet, very fast. 78 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 4: Right now, initial claims are sitting in a low two 79 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: hundred thousand range. High yield bond spreads are three hundred 80 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 4: and two basis points. They actually dip below three hundred 81 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 4: basis points after the Feds move last week. So the 82 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 4: music is still playing. You want to be invested. You 83 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 4: could see markets continue to see momentum here. Again, it's 84 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 4: just about making sure bonds are still playing a role 85 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: in your portfolio and leaning into higher quality stocks and 86 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 4: finding quality at a reasonable price in order to you know, again, 87 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 4: stay invested and be involved. 88 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: If we do see this market melt. 89 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 6: Up, let's talk about the bond market. 90 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 5: But Spoke Investment just put out this to the ten 91 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 5: year yield is up every day since the Fed cut rates, 92 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 5: rising fifteen basis points in that period. How do you 93 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 5: have conviction in the long end of the yield curve 94 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 5: at a time where this market seems to be suggesting, hinting, 95 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 5: flirting on the edges with this idea. 96 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 6: The potentially the more. 97 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 5: That the Fed cuts now, the more that inflation could 98 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 5: be stickier even pick up later. 99 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it's surprising to see this backup 100 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 4: in the ten year yield. You know, certainly the FED 101 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 4: supporting the economy with a larger cut is bullish. 102 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: It's risk on. It's another part of the risk on 103 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: puzzle here, you know. 104 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 4: I think the biggest risk is not necessarily inflation picking up, 105 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 4: that could be part. 106 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: Of it, but more of a melt up in. 107 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: Markets, which could create more leverage in the financial system. 108 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: If you continue to see again equity markets surging, you 109 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 4: see that, you know, momentum stocks, bitcoin, you know, low 110 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 4: quality companies, all kind of participating in this rally. Eventually, 111 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 4: we do think that an economic contraction plays out. It 112 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 4: may take some time here, but when you lean into 113 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 4: higher quality bonds you know. 114 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: That are paying over four percent in yield, you can 115 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: get paid to wait. 116 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 4: I don't think that the bond market is fully sniffing 117 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 4: out this inflationary environment. That's likely to see some type 118 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 4: of contraction, some type of increase in the unemployment rate, 119 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 4: and it could happen so quickly. I talked to so 120 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: many investors that are waiting to take advantage of higher bondyards. 121 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 4: They're sitting in money market accounts, and we just ransom 122 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 4: data that suggests that investors sit in cash for way 123 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: too long. In fact, they sit there until bondyiards are 124 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 4: already at basement levels, and then they move out on 125 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 4: the curve and embrace core bonds. We don't want to 126 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 4: wait too long in order to do that. I think 127 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 4: getting cash on the sidelines, getting it invested in a 128 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 4: high quality part of the bond market in the intermediate 129 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 4: part of the curve makes a. 130 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: Lot of sense right now. 131 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: The normalization of the yield curve will give them a 132 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: little bit of a nuch. Do you think the difference 133 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: between the two and the ten year at twenty basis 134 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: points makes a difference? 135 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: Does that difference need to be launcher than that. 136 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 4: I don't think anybody is paying much attention to the 137 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 4: bond market right now in general, given the risk on 138 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: environment that we're seeing. 139 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: But I do think it's enough. 140 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: To start to lean into two higher yielding bonds here again, 141 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 4: we could continue to see some more volatility and rates. 142 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 4: By the way, the FED just cut amidst an environment 143 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 4: where the economic data we're pretty good. You look at 144 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 4: things like retail sales, industrial production, regional FED surveys. So 145 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: I think we could continue to see some chop and 146 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 4: yields as the data are still suggesting that we're chugging 147 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 4: along right now. 148 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: The US economy is doing okay. 149 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 4: It reminds me a little bit of my son's grades 150 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 4: right now, like they're okay, but they're not great. 151 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: He's still on the football team kind of thing, you 152 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: know what I. 153 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 4: Mean, Like we're doing all right, and so I think 154 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: you might have to wait for duration to kick in 155 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 4: as a tailwind. But again, that income is there as 156 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: you kind of embrace. 157 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: That patience as he watched it this morning. 158 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: I really hope not. I hope he's in math class. 159 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 2: Only just a funal one me. I'm not going to 160 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 2: name who this is. I'm just going to share a 161 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: quote with you. This was from earlier this year. We're 162 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: price for perfection of easier policy, continued disinflationary forces, and 163 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: resilient growth versus a bankdrop of US growth continuing to 164 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: beat expectations. 165 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: I won't name in shame anyone. 166 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: Because I think that reflected how a lot of people 167 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: found at the start of the year, and it's the 168 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: last line there, continuing to beat expectations. Do you think 169 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: we can continue to do that in the US labor 170 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 2: market in the months to come, because it feels like 171 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: that holds the key to a lot of calls. 172 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: The labor market is a tough one. 173 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 4: I'm going to punt on that just because you guys 174 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: mentioned before the revisions are so critical, so I think 175 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: we need to take those headline numbers with a grain 176 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 4: of salt, focus on the revisions. But I think you 177 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 4: know there's a lot of expectations going into this. What 178 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 4: I'll say is that valuations are never a catalyst for 179 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 4: a shift in market leadership. You've got to see something 180 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 4: else change. You have to see the earnings backrop change. 181 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: You have to see the macro regime seeing a shift. 182 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 4: And by the way, there's more great news. Analysts are 183 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 4: penciling it four percent year over year earnings growth next 184 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: quarter for the S and P five hundred. 185 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: The bar is really low. It gets much higher from there. 186 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 4: So in terms of beating expectations, from a fundamental standpoint. 187 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we can do it. The bars, well, 188 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: let's enjoy it while we can. 189 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: The bar is Low Young Rowland, Emily Run of John Hancock. 190 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:30,239 Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate it. So here's the late, says Chinese 191 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 2: Central Bank, convening a stimulus package, sending stocks to their 192 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: best day in China since twenty twenty. The plan including 193 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: a cut to short term interest rates and a reduction 194 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: of reserve requirements for banks officials. They're also studying sending 195 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: up a market stabilization fund ahead of the move. Comic 196 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 2: Chartravedi of Goldman Sachs, writing, our China economics team have 197 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: just revised down their twenty four GDP growth forecast to 198 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: four point seven percent from four point nine. As such, 199 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 2: we expect the Chinese currency to underperform. Come actually joined 200 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: us now from London for more And actually you wrote 201 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 2: that before this stimulus package, and I have to ask you, 202 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: is this enough to change your mind? 203 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 7: Look, I think you know, the stimulus is certainly more 204 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 7: than we expected just a few days ago. So I 205 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 7: think that's fair and I think that matters. But it 206 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 7: seems to me more aimed at putting a floor under 207 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 7: the equity market rather than necessarily buoying the currency. And 208 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 7: so yes, of course we've had a little bit of 209 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 7: a currency strength today. We've had more of it in 210 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 7: the last you know, I would say, you know, a 211 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 7: month and a half, although I think that has more 212 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 7: to do with dollar weakness than China specific strength. So 213 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 7: I think you know, the jury is out. I think 214 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 7: you know, it's not surprising to see stocks react positively 215 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 7: to the announcements that you've seen. I still don't think 216 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 7: a stronger currency is the best way to express a 217 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 7: view on the developments that have occurred overnight. 218 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 5: So there is this question about whether the FED is 219 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 5: opening the door to some sort of stimulus and further 220 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 5: easing around the world, and whether it creates a relative 221 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 5: I don't want to say race to the bottom, but 222 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,239 Speaker 5: it gives us a bit of a back drop that could. 223 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 6: Limit how much dollar weakness there could be. Is that 224 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 6: kind of your view of things. 225 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 7: I think that's very much in line with our thinking, right. 226 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 7: It's the FED is a big deal. The fact that 227 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 7: they're cutting rates, and they're cutting rates against a backdrop 228 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 7: that is not recessionary. They're cutting rates to get ahead 229 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 7: of the curve and support and secure that soft landing. 230 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 7: That really does allow em central banks and global central 231 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 7: banks really across the world to join in that easing train. 232 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 7: You know, easing is coming soon to a central bank 233 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 7: close to you, and that is going to ultimately limit 234 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 7: the extent of dollar weakness that you see. What is 235 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 7: also going to limit it is that ultimately we expect 236 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 7: the US economy to continue to expand, to continue to 237 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 7: grow on solid with solid momentum. And actually some of 238 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 7: the activity data in Europe in China are not that strong. 239 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 7: China stimulus is very different from the US is stimulus. 240 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 7: The US cuts came to secure the soft landing. The 241 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 7: China announcements came in response to some really poor set 242 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 7: of data. So I think we'd have to see how 243 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 7: much traction they have, how much the economy is supported. 244 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 7: But I still don't think we are in a zone 245 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 7: where you should be arguing for aggressive dollar depreciation. 246 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: That's not our view. 247 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 5: I have to say, Kamashia, you were listening to a 248 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 5: nineteen sixty soundtrack when you're writing this piece. Is the 249 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 5: first cut, the deepest, and slow down. You move too fast, 250 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 5: Kat Stevens and of course Simon and Garfokl. I am 251 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 5: wondering when you say is the first cut the deepest, 252 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 5: which set me off on a sort of humming sphere 253 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 5: this morning. I do wonder do you think that that 254 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 5: is the case or is your sort of the dollar 255 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 5: can't get that much more weak predicated on the idea 256 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 5: that you could see ongoing fifty basis point rate cuts 257 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 5: at least in the next six months. 258 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 7: We've put a lot of effort into our titles. I'm 259 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 7: glad you enjoyed those, But you know, I think, yes, 260 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 7: I think that you know we're coming, I think to 261 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 7: the limits of how much the dollar can weaken just 262 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 7: by the FED easing. A lot of easing is now 263 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 7: in the price in the FED cuve. I think you 264 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 7: know the baton is going to be passed to other 265 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 7: central banks, to the economic developments across the rest of 266 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 7: the world. Ultimately, look, I think if we are in 267 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 7: a world where you know, global growth is okay, the 268 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 7: FED is cutting aggressively, and equity markets hold up, that's 269 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 7: a generally dollar weakening environment. But we've always maintained that 270 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 7: the dollars high valuation is ultimately a feature of the 271 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 7: strong growth in the US and the real returns you 272 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 7: get in US assets. 273 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: We don't think that. 274 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 7: Picture is going to change anytime soon, and therefore we 275 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 7: think the dollars high valuation will erode only very gradually. 276 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 8: You say, a key event risk is the election, obviously 277 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 8: for Asian currencies, which are the most vulnerable potentially to 278 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 8: Trump tariffs. 279 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. 280 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 7: Look, I think if we have a set of tariffs, 281 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 7: if we have you know, trade disruptions, that's never good 282 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 7: for any emerging market or any market really which is 283 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 7: plugged into the global trading cycle. And a lot of ems, 284 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 7: you know, have that exposure to global trade. You know, 285 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 7: I think, you know, if I think of open economies 286 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 7: like the Korean Wan, but even sort of neighboring economies 287 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 7: like the Mexican pace, So I think, you know, those 288 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 7: are the kinds of currencies that could be affected. 289 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: You know. 290 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 7: China is another one where you know, there's lots of 291 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 7: you know, talk of tariffs, and we saw those implemented 292 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 7: in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen and there was an impact. 293 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 7: So I think it's the it's the I would say 294 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 7: open economies of Asia that are more plugged into the 295 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 7: global trade cycle. 296 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: But then also. 297 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 7: Perhaps you know Mexico is one which always features on 298 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 7: the top of the list, is given its exposure to 299 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 7: US trade. 300 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that next time. A clinic from you, 301 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: as always, Commactionatraverdi of Government sanks there. On the latest 302 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: side of China, Let's get to a big story in 303 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: the last few days in this country, the rise of 304 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: artificial intelligence fueling energy amount across the nation's power grid constellations, 305 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: striking a deal with Microsoft to restart the three Mile 306 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 2: Island nuclear power plant by twenty twenty eight. Former BPCO 307 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 2: and co founder Beyond met Zero Lord John Branch just 308 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: now Beyond net Zero is responsible for General Atlantic's climate 309 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: growth equity strategy. And it's fantastic to see you've said, 310 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: thanks for being care good to be here. It's amazing 311 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: what's happening in this country. To see a nuclear plant 312 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: be reactivated, restarted, supply energy to a tech firm. How 313 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: big is the scramble for energy in this country. 314 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 9: It's very big for electricity to power data centers, which 315 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 9: are being built globally at a rate of one a day, 316 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 9: and they're very big ones. It's very fast, you know, 317 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 9: so very big data center nowadays probably can absorb one 318 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 9: nuclear core, you know, six six to eight hundred megawats. 319 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 9: So it's better to restart and reuse a nuclear power 320 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 9: station than build a new one where we're going to 321 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 9: have to build some new ones until there's a reaction, 322 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 9: And the reaction is how do you actually reduce the 323 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 9: power consumption of AI. I think the answer lies in 324 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 9: the fact that there are two different things going on here. 325 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 9: One is training, which takes a lot of power, I 326 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 9: know that from some of our companies, very expensive. And 327 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 9: then inference, which is what you do to use it 328 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 9: takes much less power. So people are working on different chips, 329 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 9: different data centers, and so one day this will probably 330 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 9: flatten out a bit, but right now it's a lot. 331 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: A big picture. 332 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: Do you think it undermines some of the climate goals 333 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: we have in this country? 334 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 9: Not necessarily. You know, first of all, we have to 335 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 9: think about not just this country but the world, and 336 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 9: so it's a contribution to this country. There will be 337 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 9: ways of offsetting it, and there are ways of getting 338 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 9: renewable energy. Part two data centers, So it's a mix 339 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 9: of things. There's no one solution to this. 340 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: John. 341 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 5: This is the reason why I was excited to talk 342 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 5: to you. More than anything. I was looking for some 343 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 5: optimism because usually when we talk about climate change, you 344 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 5: hear gloom and doom and sort of existential angst. 345 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 6: You said that nearly eighty percent. 346 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 5: Of the technologies that we need to reach net zero 347 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 5: by twenty fifty are already developed. 348 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,359 Speaker 6: The issue is just capital investment. 349 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 9: Explain well, cabin investment and cost. Cost and capital investment 350 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 9: go hand in hand. The more you do of something, 351 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 9: the cheaper it becomes. So you've got to get started, 352 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 9: and you've got to figure out how to get some 353 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 9: form of incentive to get early technologies applied. I'm I 354 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 9: remain very optimistic. I do think our biggest problem is 355 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 9: we've spent probably a quarter century discussing the problem and 356 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 9: doing little about it and actually arguing whether there's a 357 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 9: problem at all. So we've got about a quarter of 358 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 9: a century of time to make up. So we've got 359 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 9: a speed up, which means we need much more money 360 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 9: going into growing the things that we know that will work, 361 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 9: and that requires us to have the right incentives in place, 362 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 9: such as a price for carbon. 363 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 6: Okay, what are the right things that could work? 364 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 5: Because we know that just telling people, you know, be 365 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 5: better about throwing out fewer items, or you know, don't 366 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 5: use plastic bottles, or some of these sort of lifestyle 367 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 5: changes are not working. 368 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: They are not resting with people. 369 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 5: In fact, they are actually causing people to reject it. 370 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 5: So what are the things that are actually working? 371 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 9: So the very big thing, which which has to work, 372 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 9: is not quite working yet is how do you how 373 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 9: do you take carbon out of hydrocarbons? Because we're going 374 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 9: to use hydrocarbons for a long time and so capturing 375 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 9: carbon dioxide and storing it away in different ways, not 376 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 9: just the old ways that people are thinking and look 377 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 9: like big refineries, but there are more sophisticated ways I 378 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 9: think being developed. That's the very big thing to crack. 379 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 9: The second thing to crack is how do you actually 380 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 9: use energy? And part of that is energy efficiency, part 381 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 9: of it's the secular economy. You know what you do 382 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 9: with old tires for example. 383 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 3: You know, on a very. 384 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 9: Big scale, it's doing big things, and then finally it's 385 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 9: creating new energy. I was in India just a few 386 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 9: days ago where I was seeing a huge rollout of 387 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 9: you know, solar plants and wind plants up to five 388 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 9: hundred gigawa a huge amount will be in place in 389 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 9: twenty years time, and it's moving today, moving today, John. 390 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 8: Do you think policy intervention works? 391 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 9: It has to work. Energy is the whole energy scene 392 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 9: experience is founded on good policy. You know, there's nothing 393 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 9: natural about it. So the government has to both inspire 394 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 9: and avoid the use of energy. So taxes are important, 395 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 9: but the key is getting them stable and keeping them 396 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 9: in place all time. 397 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 6: In the end, it's you. 398 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 9: Know, if we'd stop people putting carbon in the atmosphere, 399 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 9: we have to charge them for doing it. And one 400 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 9: way or another, the IRA or this stuff about carbon 401 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 9: border adjustment mechanisms, all of these things are designed to 402 00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 9: do just that. 403 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 8: I look at the eye though, and parts of some 404 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 8: people say did work. But other parts of things like 405 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 8: public charging stations, I think they have about two dozen. 406 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 8: They're spending billions of dollars on this. Should this not 407 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 8: be left up to capital markets? 408 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 9: Absolutely, And you know that there are things that misfar 409 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 9: in all policy. I think one has to be very 410 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 9: careful in all these areas of big change during the transition. 411 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 9: Not if I can use the old phrase, make perfection 412 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 9: the enemy of the good. You know, we've got to 413 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 9: get on with these things. It's like carbon markets. You know, 414 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 9: they don't work, but they never work until you start them, 415 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 9: and so you've got to do a bit and then correct. 416 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 9: It was the same when I was, you know, in 417 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 9: the bond markets forty fifty years ago. They didn't really 418 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 9: work properly. But look at today. So I think I'm 419 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 9: optimistic as long as we just keep pushing ahead and 420 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 9: don't allow ourselves to be blindsided by the small look 421 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 9: at the big picture, which is we've got to get 422 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 9: rid of carbon dioxide, very simple, and we've got to 423 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 9: do it quickly. 424 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 3: We had just to jump in forgive me. 425 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: We had a guest on the program yesterday who said, 426 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 2: we've managed to reduce some reliance on OPEK, but we've 427 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: increased some reliance on China when it comes to renewables. Now, 428 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 2: when you were the CEO of BP, we were producing 429 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 2: something like six million pounds of old day in this country. 430 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: It's now thirteen. We've managed to reduce some reliance on opek. 431 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: Can we do the same thing with renewables with China 432 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 2: in the same way we did with OPEK and fossil fuels. 433 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 9: Of course, that's again I come back to my experience 434 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 9: in India. A few days ago, I went to a 435 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 9: wind farm. One hundred percent of it was built and 436 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 9: sourced in India. It wasn't imported from somewhere. So if 437 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 9: it can be done in one place, it can be 438 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 9: done another. You know, trade barriers used to be regarded 439 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 9: as somewhat economically inefficient, but they are what they are, 440 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,719 Speaker 9: and you can get things done. 441 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 3: What do you investigate with regards to that effort? Right now? 442 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 9: So we're doing a lot on energy efficiency and energy 443 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 9: effective circular economy. You know, how do you measure things 444 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 9: to get more efficient, whether it's supply chains, whether it's 445 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 9: whether it's how people think about their own carbon reductions. 446 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 9: So a lot of things like that. We're investing in 447 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 9: sub so Africa, we're investing in India, variety of things 448 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 9: like that. 449 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 5: The difficult part about this is seeing the investment make 450 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 5: a lot of money at a time where you're reliant 451 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 5: on incentives to make something work. How much is that 452 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 5: sort of part of the calculus that you have to 453 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 5: sort of suspend or just have faith that there will 454 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 5: be the right policy mix to make some of these 455 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 5: companies viable. 456 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 9: So I regard all taxation policy as incentives, all of them, 457 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 9: and we don't rely on things that are exceptional. We 458 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 9: just don't. What we believe very firmly is in order 459 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 9: to get sustainable investment, you have to beat the rest 460 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 9: of the investment pack. So we invest, for example, for 461 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 9: twenty five percent IRR, which is what we get, and 462 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 9: you can do it. You have to be selective. You 463 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 9: have to go to places where you know that the 464 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 9: incentive structure is stable and makes sense. Again, I've been 465 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 9: in plenty of areas in the past when I remember 466 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 9: being a very post home in Spain where they overdid 467 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 9: the incentives and everybody knew they overdid the incentives and 468 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 9: everyone was surprised that they changed them. You can be 469 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 9: contradictory if you want to be so, but you have 470 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 9: to be careful about that. 471 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 2: You know, John always a clinic. It's going to see it. 472 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 2: Thanks for your time, Sarah, appreciate it.
