I'm trend based. Dean Current is 16 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 2: trend based. Bruno de Pire, the giant of quant at 17 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: post dilemma, He's trend based. Was the trend shattered over 18 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 2: what we saw ten days ago? 19 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: Yes, I have to admit it's been a really tough 20 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 3: environment for trend because if you look at I mean, 21 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: let me just make one point here, the fifty day 22 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: moving average for the S and P has recovered in 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 3: the last six days to be only two percent down. 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 3: I mean, we basically went from everything's going wrong back 25 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,279 Speaker 3: to well, I guess it's okay. And so the world 26 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: is just, you know, from a trend perspective, shifted significantly, 27 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: and some of the new trends that we're seeing their week, 28 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: but they're very different. 29 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to go to August sixth, and folks, this 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 2: involves wells, wildough, parabolics are all sorts of fancy things, 31 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: a thing called ad x DMI. Kaminski got an A 32 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: plus on the exam. I got to C minus. You 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: ruin the curve, Katie. I'm looking at a lot of 34 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: fancy quant technicals and what I saw is a jump condition. 35 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: How do you get back on trend after a jump condition? 36 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: Well, this is a good question because what happens when 37 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 3: you have such a big move is that it adjust 38 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: trend signals a lot. So you have to think a 39 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 3: little bit about the type of trend filter that you're using. 40 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: Some models are going to be much more like your 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: classic moving averages, and those really adjust aggressively when you 42 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: have that type of move But you can also use 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: other types of models that may sort of windsor eyes 44 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: or remove some of the outliers, and those may not 45 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 3: be as much affected. But the truth is there may 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: be information in this recent event that could be foreboding 47 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 3: for potential trends to come. 48 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 4: Katie, let's wins rise together. You're talking two hundred day 49 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 4: moving average. I'd like to focus your attention on credit spread, 50 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 4: specifically sovereign credit. The faults, the WOP spreads five year 51 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 4: fifteen of the twenty five risky issuers, their spreads are 52 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 4: below their two hundred day moving averages. Spreads barely moved 53 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 4: in the recent selloff. Talk to us about the signals 54 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 4: you're taking away from the credit market. 55 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 3: So the challenge with the credit market is not everything 56 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 3: falls in one particular drop. And I think what I'm 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: thinking about for credit is if you think about past 58 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: crisis periods or other recessionary periods, it doesn't hit all 59 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: markets at the same time. So I'm concerned that this 60 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 3: recent event could just be a little bit of a 61 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 3: warning signal that things are not necessarily going to be 62 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: as soft as we would have liked, and that we 63 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: could see a you know, more of a recessionary trade 64 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: in the fall if we see more weaker. 65 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 4: Data and we know the correlation between rising volatility and 66 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 4: the unwind of Carrie leverage trades. For that matter, talk 67 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: to us a little bit about what we've seen in 68 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: just the last forty eight hours. I mean, follows back 69 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: down below sixteen. I mean, Carrie is coming back. I mean, 70 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: talk to us about what you envisioned as we head 71 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: through the end of the summer, in which is still 72 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 4: quite a liquid. 73 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean I think trading volumes tend to always 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: be low in August, and if you look at what's 75 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: happened with surprising to me, the market's acting like, well, 76 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: that happened, but we're back to normal. And I really 77 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 3: think that people are focused on the fact that they 78 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: think now they're going to get cuts and that's going 79 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 3: to get us through any potential economic weakness. So I 80 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 3: think it's surprising how fast market sentiment shifts and people 81 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: go from being terrified to you know, everything's fine. 82 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: Do you think there was kindage out there? Are we 83 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: going to get reports in ninety days? I mean what 84 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: was the leverage placed that creates upset given the moves 85 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: we saw. Was there a lot of leverage out there? 86 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: I think there was. I mean, if you look at 87 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: positioning and the CFTC in the futures markets, for sure 88 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: had massive volumes on those sell off days. So I 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 3: think it's more the relative value trades that are the 90 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: bigger challenge because those tend to have a lot more leverage. 91 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: So An that's why Carrie, for example, is and the 92 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: focus I'd say that for trend. I mean, it was difficult, 93 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 3: but you know, the leverage. 94 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: Wasn't that hot? 95 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: Damien. On a side note here, I'm having real trouble 96 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 2: with the resurgence of option writing is a free lunch? Ah, Yes, 97 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: now it's killing me. Well look, I'm doing everything I 98 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: can on air not to tear it to shreds. 99 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: Well, and I'm doing everything i can to avoid the 100 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 4: carry trade. But you know, Katie, in this case, I 101 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 4: really can't because real yield differentials are higher in thirty 102 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 4: of the thorty. You know, major developed and merging market 103 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 4: economies over the last year, and you've got countries like Brazil, Mexico, 104 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 4: Indonesia and India which still have you know, three percent 105 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 4: you know, real yields to your real yields after I 106 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: mean that's after inflation. I mean, come on, I mean, 107 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 4: like rate differentials are still wide. Investors are still going 108 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: to be attracted to the carry trade, especially when you've 109 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 4: got real yields in Japan negative two and a half 110 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 4: percent still, So talk to us a little bit about 111 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 4: you know, what you're seeing in the markets. Can you 112 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: see people putting leverage positions back on as we get 113 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 4: into the end of this year. 114 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I think you will see that. I definitely 115 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 3: think that that people got spooked by what happened. But 116 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 3: you know, as you noted, there's just so much divergence 117 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: across the market, so there's opportunity to be had. And 118 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: when there's that type of dislocation, you know, it generates interest. 119 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: What does the real yield technicals tell you? 120 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 3: Well, right now we're looking at fixed income. The biggest 121 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 3: thing that I would say is that we are seeing 122 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 3: very very strong technical signals and fixed income. It's the 123 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: one asset class that made sort of a seismic shift 124 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 3: this summer. Been short fixed income for so long, and 125 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: now there seems to be a steady view that rates 126 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 3: are going down, so I think that's something. 127 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, for your mortals, Katie, what you're basically saying is 128 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: your technicals are price up, yield lower. 129 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 3: Exactly. 130 00:06:47,080 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: Okay, Katie Kimiski, I think we'll leave it thick. Michael 131 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: Purvis from Tall Back and joins Us, I got eight 132 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 2: ways to go here, Michael Purvis, Are we back on trend? 133 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 2: Michael Purverse, are we back? I'm good trend? 134 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, Like if we could just delete, like, you know, 135 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 5: six days from a lot of charts, you know. Yeah, 136 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 5: ask yourself the question if we didn't have that big 137 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 5: spike in that and that vicious sell off earlier this month. Tom, 138 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 5: you know what's really different right about the economy? What's 139 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 5: different about uh, the interest rate trajectory or for the 140 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 5: matter of corporate earnings and whether you want to buy 141 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 5: or sell the stock market right now? I think we're 142 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 5: we haven't really learned too much from that BIX spike 143 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 5: other than what how much market structure, liquidity and sort 144 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 5: of you know, trade leverage, and there's various facets of 145 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 5: the trade leverage discussion are embedded in there. So yeah, 146 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 5: I mean, I it hasn't changed my thinking that we 147 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 5: want to be bullish equities that I'm the big tack 148 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 5: will continue to lead the way higher, and I think 149 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 5: we're you know, I never understood why fifty BIPs was 150 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 5: was so sort of viciously embraced by by the by 151 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 5: the rates markets because we had a cool job sprint 152 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 5: a few weeks. 153 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 4: Ago, Michael, the unwind of the carry trade, for that matter, 154 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: the unwind of leverage trades. Yet just three days ago, 155 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 4: I'm reading your note on precious metals here and you're 156 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 4: talking about silver being a leverage play on gold. So 157 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 4: do you think that, you know, in a risk off environment, 158 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 4: one where you want to get more defensive, silver is 159 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 4: going to play out for you or is that more 160 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 4: of a play for risk on investors. 161 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 5: Well, that's a great question, and it's a little bit 162 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 5: different because to me it's leverage. It's leverage to the 163 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 5: gold price, right, And so the question is is to 164 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 5: really answer your question, is gold going to do okay 165 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 5: in a risk on environment? Because what for silver to 166 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 5: really accelerate? You really need gold to have a real rally, 167 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 5: not just a quick flip, right, You need something substantial. 168 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 5: I do think it feels like something is building here 169 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 5: within the gold complex, gold, you know, being sort of 170 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 5: the foundation of that, and then silver being a levered 171 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 5: play on that. So I don't I think if gold 172 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 5: can rally, that's really the question. And I think if 173 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 5: gold can really rally, then silver will will have outsize returns. 174 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 5: If gold just moves up a bit, and then you're right, 175 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 5: then silver will be vulnerable to to the you know, 176 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 5: whatever risk off type dynamics we get there. It has 177 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 5: been an underappreciated asset within the gold complex, and I 178 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 5: think there's a lot of catch up to happen there. 179 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: Can I ask a dumb question purpose I'll know this 180 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: and Damien you'll know this. I look at silver is 181 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: like the third floor Tiffany. But the answer is silver 182 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: is solar, right, It's like use of silver and solar. 183 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, there's a lot of sort of new energy 184 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 5: or sort of new technology demands for silver. It comes 185 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 5: from not just solar tom but water purification, a wide 186 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 5: range of electronics, a lot of battery and electric vehicles, 187 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 5: you know, employee silver in there. So there are you know, 188 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 5: real industrial applications that are new. And of course there's 189 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 5: the third four of Tiffany demand a part of it 190 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 5: as well. 191 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 2: Well. 192 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 4: Michael, I mean really for me, I mean what we're 193 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 4: talking about here, and I want to bring it back gold, silver, 194 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: precious metals. They're really a defensive asset and a risk 195 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 4: off environment, or one would have you believe. Yet, you know, 196 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 4: look at where and the correlation to US real yields 197 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 4: remains very very strong, right, So when I think of 198 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 4: real yield differentials, I think of gold as a hedge 199 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 4: against that. And so I'm looking now at US real 200 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 4: yields at one point seven seven percent, really belows of 201 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 4: the cycle. I mean, just how much lower in the 202 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 4: US real yield can we go? Is that going to 203 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: give a boost to gold, which is right now trading 204 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 4: near all time highs. 205 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 5: You know, one thing I would push back on New 206 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 5: Damien on that is that you're right. Normally you see 207 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 5: a pretty clear correlation between real interest rates in the 208 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 5: United States and gold, and or real rate differential between 209 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 5: the US and places like Japan for example. They're there. 210 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 5: But over the last year and a half we've seen 211 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 5: gold push higher despite higher real interest rates here and 212 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 5: despite a strong dollar. So what's going on? I think 213 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 5: what's really going on is what's is that there's a 214 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 5: lot of central banks, notably in Asia China in particular, 215 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 5: that have been sort of buying the dip. And if 216 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 5: you look at the gold rally, it's it's put a 217 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 5: pretty impressive rally over the last year and a half. 218 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 5: That has been a that has been a very low 219 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 5: volatility rally. Typically, when you get a sort of what 220 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 5: I would call a Wall Street gold rally, you see 221 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 5: a lot of excitement and the stuff flies up and 222 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 5: the gold balls fly up. You haven't seen that. And 223 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 5: if it's a central bank type of exercise where they're 224 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 5: where they're buying dips but they're not buying at the 225 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 5: at the very tippy top, that's sort of inherently a 226 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 5: low that sort of crushes ball in that asset class. 227 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 5: So I think there's that happening. But here we are 228 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 5: looking at an election form on from now where both 229 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 5: sides are basically endorsing a some version of a loose 230 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 5: fiscal policy. You haven't seen anything about fiscal tightness from 231 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 5: either side. Here. It's all about, you know, it's really 232 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 5: about implementation of a fiscal stimulus. That's what the debate is. 233 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 5: And so I think the world's looking at that and saying, look, 234 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 5: you know, the deficits are high, I'm going to own gold, 235 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 5: and Damian. When I look at the gold chart, I'm 236 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 5: looking at something that looks like it's going to break 237 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 5: higher here, So I think, I think gold it's really 238 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 5: about some of these sort of longer term friends, and 239 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 5: if it does break higher, then you'll probably see some 240 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 5: Wall Street a Wall Street rally follow one. 241 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 2: You mentioned Asian Michael Purvis, and just very quickly here 242 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 2: you had an arch call on a d x Y. 243 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: I looked at the Bloomberg Dollar Index, which has weighted 244 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: much more to em into China, and I'm sorry, there's 245 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: a resilient dollar strength still in place. What do you 246 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: need to see, say, finally the dollar's broken? 247 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 5: Well, you know, like, are you saying win the dx 248 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 5: Y for example, or. 249 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll let you, I'll let you pick the Okay, 250 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: but but but but I think what, yeah, yeah, I 251 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: mean the dollar broken. 252 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 5: You know, they get sort of into existential questions about 253 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 5: just you know, with the reserve status of the reserve 254 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 5: currency and so forth. I don't think, you know, if 255 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 5: I'm bullish gold and think it's going to go to 256 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 5: you know, pick a number twenty seven hundred twenty eight 257 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 5: hundred later this year into twenty five. That doesn't mean 258 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 5: the dollar is apparently broken. That does mean people want 259 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 5: to sort of build up, you know, a position of 260 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 5: golden maybe hold onto that for some time down the road. There, 261 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 5: you know, is the dollar going to break because Europe 262 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 5: is suddenly or get really weaker because Europe is going 263 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 5: to suddenly accelerate and economic growth and the central bank 264 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 5: there is going to adopt, you know, a much more 265 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 5: hawkish policy. I mean, I don't really sort of that, 266 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 5: So I think, to me, like the dollar breaking, it's 267 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 5: got to come down to let's talk about dollar weekening. 268 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 5: It's got to come down to the rest of the 269 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 5: world starting to do a lot economically with a more 270 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 5: overtly hawkish posture from their central banks, while the US 271 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 5: economy starts falling apart, and the that doesn't you know, 272 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 5: sort of emergency cuts. 273 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 2: Michael, thank you for the brief. Michael Purvis catch Oliver 274 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: Chen is expert at this. He's the one guy I know, 275 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: among many people in retail I to figure out what 276 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: we want to buy, what we need to buy, and 277 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: what we have to have. Oliver Chen is a TD 278 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: Cowen and joined us right now Oliver. I think the 279 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: malarkey about China is just that the Chinese, is the 280 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal wrote up, are not dumb. They're going 281 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: to Japan, they're doing a currency flip, and they're saving 282 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: on luxury. Is luxury not as gloomy as the gloom 283 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: because China is doing terrible. 284 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: Well. Luxury is pretty mixed now, right Tom, in line 285 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: with what you're saying. China we're really watching just due 286 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: to the housing issues and valuation there. But you are right, 287 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: the Chinese are traveling with the weaker yin and that's 288 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: happening in Japan is seeing very strong numbers. Our main 289 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: idea here is LVMH. We love Louis Vatan still, but 290 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: we're cautious. We're cautiously optimistic in what we're seeing in 291 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: these trends, and the trends have slowed unfortunately, Well, the. 292 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 2: Trends are slowed. Do they clear out? Is there a 293 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: shumpertarian creative destruction where you know, luxury A takes over 294 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: luxury B. Yeah. 295 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: I think consolidation will continue to be a theme. However, 296 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: everybody's watching the case with Michael Core's and tapestry and 297 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: the ft. See that's something to pay attention to, but 298 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: consolidation the big getting bigger. You know, we're seeing deals 299 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: also with retailers such as Neiman Marcus and Sacks, and 300 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: that's part of what's happening. That's part of why we 301 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: do like LVMH. They spend nine to ten billion dollars 302 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: in advertising and promotion those power brands in Dior, Louis 303 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: Vaton as well as Tiffany. Competing against that scale is 304 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: certainly very difficult, and the luxury industry already is very 305 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: concentrated relative to others. 306 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 4: Oliver, I'd love to ask you about Kith Grayson and 307 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 4: Peter Mallar, but I really need to know what was 308 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 4: your primary takeaway from yesterday's US retail sales report. 309 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're excited about a better than feared consumer. The 310 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: consumer still continues to be choiceful and considered and also 311 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: look for value hacking opportunities, trading up, trading down. But 312 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: we've been very bullish on Walmart. Walmart's our top idea, 313 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: and Walmart foremost offers every day low prices, a focus 314 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: on value in addition to being a tech platform and 315 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: a retail ecosystem, so it offers the best of both worlds. 316 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 4: Well, talk to us about Walmart for that matter, talk 317 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 4: to us about consumer discretionary within the broader context of 318 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 4: the S and P. I think it's one of the 319 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 4: underperformers this year. I think it's only up three and 320 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 4: a half percent year to date. Obviously Amazon has a 321 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 4: lot to do with that. But you know, talk to 322 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 4: us a little bit about what you're seeing in terms 323 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 4: of consumption here in the US. 324 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, we are in the midst of a consumer discretionary recession. 325 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: So those trends have been very tough. What's been a 326 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: brighter spot at Walmart is general merchandise was flat. That 327 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: had previously been negative for about nine quarters, So that's 328 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: something we're watching. The consumer is very much impacted by 329 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: inflation and feeling mixed in terms of consumer confidence. There 330 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: are some brighter spots. Unemployment it's rising, but it's at 331 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: a low ish level at four point three percent. There's 332 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: still dollars of savings on the sidelines. But overall, I 333 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: think this choppy consumer behavior will continue, and consumers are 334 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: looking for value. 335 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: You and I disagreed on this. Oliver Chen in five years, 336 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: where are the department stores? I don't get it. 337 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's we'll see what's happening. Our idea here is Coles, 338 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: but these department stores generated a lot of cash flow. 339 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot of work that needs to be done. 340 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: Macy's is working on its private label. It's also closing 341 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: stores and working on small format. So we're gonna see 342 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: change and innovation and department stores. But overall, our top 343 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: ideas are Costco, Walmart, Aulta. 344 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: Damien Coles ten year track record negative five percent per year. 345 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 4: You know tem yesterday I was at the Westchester in 346 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 4: White Plains, the Westchester Mall. It was dead. And I'll 347 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 4: tell you this. A lot of the stores they are 348 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 4: like Alo and Lululemon. I mean, you're not getting a 349 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 4: lot of food traffic there and quite for that matter, Oliver, 350 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 4: let me ask you this. A lot of those stores 351 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 4: are like, I don't know, closed down or coming soon, 352 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So, I mean, do you 353 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 4: really still see foot traffic at malls in the suburbs. 354 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: Well, foot traffic and traffic has been sluggish to negative, 355 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: So something we're watching. People are struggling to get slightly 356 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: positive traffic. So you really have to work on conversion 357 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: and transactions. That's part of what's happening. It's needs versus wants, 358 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: and consumers are really focused on needs and food and 359 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: costco and great value. They also still love beauty. Beauty 360 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: is a great category of essentials, so you have to 361 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: be very selective. We also have a younger customer problem 362 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: at department stores, where department stores really need to broadcast 363 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: and be appealing to gen Z and beyond. So I 364 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: think it just depends. Athletic leisure is a long term trend, 365 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: comfort stretch, anti stink. You know, it's all very conducive 366 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: to the future, but there's a lot of dynamicism in 367 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: the sector at large, to. 368 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 2: Be clear, Oliver Chen into the autumn into twenty twenty five, 369 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: Walmart's your single best idea. 370 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Walmart's our top idea this year, and we continue 371 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: to be excited. I think artificial intelligence right, the marketplace model, 372 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: digital advertising plus calliefower, then cross Pizza. You know, there's 373 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: a lot happening. 374 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: I got to ask, how's ultra lux doing across the nation. 375 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: We're excited about things you like like Petech, Philippe and Rolex. 376 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: Tiffany has a great a great piece with Tiffany Locke. 377 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: And then within beauty, what's happening a lot is ultra 378 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: high end fragrances. Fragrances is a big idea, and we 379 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: like code be. 380 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 2: Afraid to ask what is the margin on quote unquote 381 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: ultra high end fragrances wants to know, Well. 382 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: The cost that gets sold is very modest, like under 383 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: so the margins, just like watches, can be exceptional like 384 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: eighty percent plus. But it's all about emotions and the innovation. 385 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: Oh really, thank you. We'll quote you on that, Oliver Chen. 386 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 2: It's all about emotions. He's a Toronto dominion and writing 387 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 2: a beautiful work across all of this life. You did 388 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 2: you look at the front pages of Lisa Matteo hour 389 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: Lisa Friday. What do you got? 390 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 6: We're starting off with a scandal in the world of 391 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 6: elite high school math. So this will interest you, Tom. 392 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 6: The American Mathematics competition, you know about it, Students spend 393 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 6: years preparing for it, attracts attention top colleges, finance industry recruiters, 394 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 6: been around for seventy four years. But the Wall Street 395 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 6: Journal is saying there's been online leaks of the test 396 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 6: and it's gotten out. They were available online hours days 397 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 6: before students sat down for the test. Some were free, 398 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 6: some were had a charge of like a few hundred dollars. 399 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 6: But kids about it. The league on TikTok, parents, math coaches, 400 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 6: they're all up in arms. They want the content you know, 401 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 6: administrator to do something, and they did. You know, they 402 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 6: did disqualify some students. But it just goes to show 403 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 6: you it's getting this out there, this. 404 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: Close to this theme in America of the dumbing of America. 405 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 2: A major shot out Jeff Sacks of Columbia, way out 406 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: front with a discussion of the dumbing down of America, 407 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: and it forgets Damien Sasauer an upper death stile. They're 408 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: doing math in high school, Damien, you and I dreamed 409 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: of while you're in college. 410 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 4: Well, you know the type of companies that support the AMC, 411 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 4: the competition Citadel, Hudson River Trading, big high frequency trading firms, 412 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 4: and hedge funds who are obviously quantitative and focus. 413 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 6: Isn't that right, Lisa, Yeah, No, most definitely. And they 414 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 6: do because these are the top of the top. I mean, 415 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 6: they go to the math math Olympiads, they go internationally 416 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 6: to compete with this. 417 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 2: This is the time a guest of ours honored to 418 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: have way Leon from Blackrock. She won not one year 419 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: but two year, really the Chinese equivalent, really a ward 420 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: in China. You know that was their ticket to Cambridge. 421 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 2: I believe it was. But but what I would emphasize, folks, 422 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: is this delusion of the dumbing of America completely ignores 423 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 2: in upper deactyle. That's just killing it. 424 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 4: Well, list, I'll tell you one thing Cambridge probably doesn't 425 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 4: have so already houses with blow dry bars and crystal chandeliers. 426 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 4: Isn't that right? 427 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: And we're ahead of that in Miami. 428 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 6: It is happening. 429 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 5: Blow dry bars. 430 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 6: You you sit down, that's what it is, and they 431 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 6: blow dry your hair.

University of Arkansas, that's what they have there. 443 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 6: University of Alabama, that's Delta's eight to seventeen million dollars 444 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 6: forty thousand square feet. But the thing is they need 445 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 6: to attract members, right. You look at the Wall Street 446 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 6: Journal article, whose pictures are amazing of some of these places. 447 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 6: I mean, these girls are all over social media, filming, 448 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 6: you know, everything to try and get more people. What 449 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 6: I didn't realize is that they start recruiting them right 450 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 6: out of high school. 451 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: It's so different, and this goes to the polarity into 452 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 2: this academic season of in England, in France, across continental Europe, 453 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: they're saying, we don't do that. 454 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 4: What I'm wondering what your sorority views are now as 455 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 4: a parent at University of Alabama that your daughter's going 456 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 4: to try it. I mean, I'm just curious because you know, 457 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 4: I'm not quite there yet, but I imagine at some 458 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 4: point I will be so yes. 459 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 6: And that's the one thing the article does not say. 460 00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 6: I kept looking, I'm like, well, how much does it 461 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 6: cost for kid to go there? 462 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 4: But it does not costing the kids this year, it's 463 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 4: costing the parents next year. 464 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: His conversation was Kapa kapa, gamma free kk gene. 465 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 6: Next space travel, that's we're going to SpaceX are going 466 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 6: to launch a methane detecting satellite. It's going to track 467 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 6: those super polluters. So it's part of a nonprofit Carbon Mapper. 468 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 6: It's the Tanneger one satellite. So it's about the size 469 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 6: of a mini fridge and basically it goes off and 470 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 6: it'll look at companies like oil and gas, wells, livestock operations. 471 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 6: You've heard around the This is happening today. Full disclosure 472 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 6: though Carbon Mapper Coalition. It has received funding from Bloomberg philanthropies. 473 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 6: But it's it's happening today and they're going to make 474 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 6: that data available in the coming months and it's really 475 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 6: going to show where those big movers are. 476 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 4: Like China, and do we need a new satellite to 477 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 4: tell us that China is an old. 478 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: We have ja Javier Bloss, thank you so much. Really 479 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: on a tight schedule. Javi Bloss from London yesterday. I'm 480 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 2: coal and it's it's just the partition between China and 481 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: India and oecd on coal alone is just absolutely stunning. 482 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 6: Next and the food value wars, I will end you 483 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 6: with this. They are heating up again subway getting into 484 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 6: the competition. Okay, so if you like your sandwiches. This 485 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 6: is a source from the New York Post. 486 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: They're saying that. 487 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 6: They're going to put out this promotion. Okay, remember the 488 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 6: five dollars hot hot foot long, Well that's long gone. 489 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 6: Inflation has happened, so now it's six dollars and ninety 490 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 6: nine cents. So that's what they want to do. Oh 491 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 6: good price for a foot long, considering that you know 492 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 6: some of them are like ten dollars. So they're gonna 493 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 6: make it starting August twenty six. You can get the 494 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 6: foot long. And it's not just going to be one 495 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 6: like how they did a lot of times.
