Speaker 1: of February in London. Coming up today for see not Out.

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: The UK's leading index hit a record high, but is

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: that as good as it gets? More than just hotter?

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Tensions rise as the U S shoots down what they

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: say is a Chinese spy balloom a wow number of

7

Speaker 1: the Feds. Mary Daily reacts to the red heart US

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: jobs growth but sees no reason to change course trust

00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: on the comeback trail, Astra Zeneca calls for increased investment,

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: and Solomon's DJ gig leads to bloodlines for Goldman. Those

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: are the stories we're looking at in today's newspapers, and

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm Leanne Garon's plus a Tale of Two Cities. We

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: sit down for an exclusive chat with the Lord Mayor

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: of London and the Tokyo Governor. That's all straight ahead

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe on DAB Digital Radio, London, Bloomberg

00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: Good Morning. I'm Stephen Carroll and I'm Caroline Hecker. Here

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: are the stories that we're following today. The foot one

22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: d is heading into the week, having hit a record

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: high on Friday, but the outlook for the future is

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: less rosy, as Bloomberg Samuel Etty and reports. On Friday,

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: the UK's blue chip index finally rose above its eighteen peak,

26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: but it's still lagging behind over benchmarks in Europe, China,

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: and the US so far this year. In two higher

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: oil and gas prices helped boost energy giants BP and

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Shell and lift the foot see one overall. Longer term, though,

30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: the UK benchmark is virtually flat in dollar terms since

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen Brexit vote, while markets elsewhere have seen

32
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: significant gains. Paris overtook London is Europe's largest equity market

33
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: last year and remains firmly in the lead in London

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: and samue Letien Bloomberg Daybreak Europe well now. The feds

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: December dot plot remains a good signal of where rates

36
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: are headed that according to the Federals A Bank of

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco president Mary Daily, speaking to Fox Business Daily

38
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: had this to say on January's Red Hot jobs reports.

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: The number today on the jobs report was a wow number,

40
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: but the trend was not surprising. We knew that the

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: labor market was strong has been strong despite the fact

42
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: that the economy overall has been slowing. And so right

43
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: now I see the December sep that we had in

44
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: our last meeting back for the two is being a

45
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: good indicator of where policy is at least heading. But

46
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm prepared to do more than that if more is needed.

47
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: Mary Daily does not have a vote at this year's

48
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: rate meetings, however, have you will add weight to market

49
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: expectations that the hiking cycle is knowing it's end. The

50
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: US economy added five hundred seventeen thousand jobs at last month,

51
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: pushing the unemployment rate to a fifty three year low.

52
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: The United States has sent divers to salvage what they

53
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: believe is spy equipment from the Chinese balloon shot down

54
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: off the coast of South Carolina. The balloon was down

55
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: by an American F twenty two fighter jet on direct

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: orders from President Biden and Our Tangan, senior fellow at

57
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: the Chinese think tank the Tiger Institute, says it's hard

58
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: to understand what strategic advantage that Chinese expected to gain

59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: from using the balloon. From the face of it, it

60
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a very good message. You can't really

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: figure out exactly how China would get ahead by sending

62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: a balloon that's the size of three buses and clearly

63
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: visible to the American public. It's not going to help

64
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: relations or anything like that. And a Tangan spoke to

65
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg as China continues to insist the device as a

66
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: climate research airship, that's straight off course, however, of the

67
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: U s argues it's part of a broader spying program

68
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: by the country. Now, the Lord Mayor of London, Nicholas Lions,

69
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: and his Tokyo counterpart, Governor Euriko Koike, have been making

70
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: the case for closer ties between the two countries financial hubs.

71
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: Speaking exclusively to us here on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe, Lions

72
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: sought to downplay the threat to London from continental Europe

73
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: in terms of the threat to London as a global

74
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: financial center from what's happening in continental Europe. That we

75
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: we encourage competitiveness, what is happening in continental Europe will

76
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: only make us stronger. You will see that in Frankfurt,

77
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: or in Paris, or in Absterdawn, or in Dublin or

78
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: in Luxembourg, that there is an aspect of financial services

79
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: where there as real expertise, but nobody can compete with

80
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: London in terms of the whole ecosystem. That is just

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: not replicable. So the Lord Mayor of London. While he

82
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: also told us that the City of London has been

83
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: able to replace the seven thousand jobs lost since Brexit,

84
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: uk Kik added that closer ties between the UK and

85
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: Japan are down to both economics and strategic concerns over China.

86
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: The board of Reno has signed off on a deal

87
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: to rebalance its troubled alliance with Nissan and Mitsubishi. Under

88
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: the agreement, to the French carmaker will reduce its ownership

89
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: of Nissan from forty three to fifteen percent. The rest

90
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: of the current shareholding will be putting a trust which

91
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: will be slowly sold down. Representatives and the three companies

92
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: will hold a news conference in London later to announced

93
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: details of the plan. A hundred thousand nurses and ten

94
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: thousand ambulance staff in England are expected to strike today

95
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: and what's thought to be the biggest walkout in NHS history.

96
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Members of the Rawal College of Nursing at Health Trusts

97
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: are taking action along with GMB members at seven ambulance services.

98
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Both unions are demanding pay talks with ministers, saying that

99
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the government could have prevented the strikes. Business Secretary Grant

100
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: Chefs says that the government is bringing in new anti

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: strike laws due to the lack of corporate and from paramedics.

102
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: That leaves the army who are driving the backups here

103
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: in a very difficult position of postcode lottery. If it

104
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: comes to having heart attack or a stroke when there's

105
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: a strike on, we cannot have that situation and that's

106
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: why I'm introducing laws for minimum safety levels. So that

107
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: was the business sexually Grant Shaps. Meanwhile, a second day

108
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: of nursing strikes will take place tomorrow. Those are top

109
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: stories this morning. Look at another very difficult week I

110
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: had for the NHS. If you're looking to try to

111
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: get doctor's appointments, things going to be very tricky. Yeah, absolutely.

112
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: Acclauding to the Bloomberg calculations, at least fifty five thousand

113
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: appointments are likely to be delayed just by this week's action.

114
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: The Government's in a very difficult position are the Raw

115
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: College of Nursing. The RCN has backed away from the

116
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: kind of pay wise it once, but it doesn't seem

117
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: to be any way forwards at the moment some of

118
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: the negotiations with government. Another story that cat my eye

119
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: this morning is to do with the housing market here

120
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: in the UK. Mortgages set for their slowest growth in

121
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: twenty eleven as we see the house prices. This is

122
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: research from the accounting from e Y Are College. Greena

123
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: and Gallas written up the story on the Bloomberg terminal

124
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: look another symptom of what we've been talking about for

125
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: so long, falling house prices and now it's having a

126
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: knock on effect and borrowing. Yes, Although in that e

127
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Y research what I found interesting also was their stats

128
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: on business lending also expected to fall significantly obviously higher debt,

129
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: servicing costs, lower earning, supply chain snarls. Yes, there's still

130
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: a problem according to e Y. So you're also going

131
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: to see business lending drop this year. Up next Trust

132
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: on the comeback trail, astro Zenica calls for increased investment

133
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: and Solomon's dj gig leads to blurred lines for Goldman.

134
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: Now the paper review on blue Bird Daybreak Europe. The

135
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: news you need to know from today's papers, Bloomberg, Ley

136
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: and Gerrans joins us Now. The headline in the Telegraph

137
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: says Liz Trust set to rignite China route in fresh

138
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: challenge to Rishi Sunac. The GERANs March of the weekend

139
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: spent pouring over the attempted came back by the former PM.

140
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, Caroline, and I have the Sunday Telegraph

141
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: with me, and she broke I've got it right here

142
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: in the studio wrestling yes and yesterday she broke her silence,

143
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Caroline with this four thousand word essay in the newspaper

144
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Now she defended her tax cutting agenda, that course the

145
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: economic turmoil we saw in this country during the mini budget,

146
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: and she also criticized Richie Cenac. A line that I

147
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: picked out from her essay in the paper yesterday says

148
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,479
Speaker 1: she criticized Whitehall strength of economic orthodoxy and its influence

149
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: on the market, and condemns Treasury officials for blindsiding her

150
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: over the collapse of the pension market, which did proceed

151
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: her resignation show she's standing resolute. She said that the

152
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: MPs weren't behind her, and of course she said that

153
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: she was brought down by the left wing economic establishment. Now,

154
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: moving on from that, we actually expected to see Liz

155
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: Trust today on camera for the first time since her resignation.

156
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: She'll be giving an interview to the Spectator magazine now

157
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: that will be broadcast on YouTube, and the former PM

158
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: will warn that the threat posed by Beijing has not

159
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: been taking seriously enough. And this is, as you say, Caroline,

160
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: she really continues her return to the political fray and

161
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: this is set to re ignite around between Trust and

162
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: soon Act. We saw this on the campaign trial who

163
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: would take the toughest stance against Beijing? So strong words

164
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: there from Liz Trust over the weekend. I think it's

165
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: just very interesting the level of reaction. It's the speed

166
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: at which Liz Trust is trying to rehabilitate her record

167
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: poor by anybody's standards, you know, fantasy, delusional, These are

168
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: the kind of words that you see in other newspapers

169
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: like The Independent and The Times on what she's saying.

170
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's only a few months that she left office. Yeah,

171
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: hard to believe. As you say, the timing is very

172
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: tightly and let's turn into a story in the Times

173
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: next Astra Zeneca UK losing out on investment in life

174
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: sciences research. Yes, indeed, Stevens so Tom Keith wrote. He's

175
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the president of Astra Zeneca right here in the UK

176
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: and he's told the Times newspaper the company has not

177
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: made new research and development capital investments in Britain since

178
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. He also warned that wider research and

179
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: development spending in the country could also now be at risk.

180
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: And this is due to uncompetitive fiscal environment, is what

181
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: he calls it. So speaking to the Times, he has

182
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: concluded that the UK is losing out on investment from

183
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: astra Zeneca, and that's two more competitive countries. A wildly

184
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: out of line NHS sales tax, he says, as a

185
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: real particular concern. Now the foot see one hundred company

186
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: increased US R and D spending to two point five

187
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: million back in twenty one. So once again we see

188
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: the fiscal environment affecting investment here, according to Astra Zeneca

189
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 1: speaking to the Times newspaper. Okay, interesting. Just lastly to

190
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: New York Times, the blurred lines between Goldman CEO's day

191
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: job and his DJ gig tell us more so, we

192
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: all love this, don't we. David Solomon, the chief executive

193
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,119
Speaker 1: of Goldman Sacks. We know that he's been spinning records

194
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: for years, hasn't he outside of his job? But he

195
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: has now actually hit the remix jackpot. After meeting this

196
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: high flying US industry music executive that's Larry Mestel, Solomon

197
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: got the chance to put a new spin on one

198
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: of the most danced like dance two track sever I

199
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: must have met I've danced this for years, Whitney Houston.

200
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: I want to dance with somebody who loves me. And

201
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: Solomon told senior Goldman Sachs executives. And he does donate

202
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: any profits he makes as a DJ to a charity.

203
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: Remember he's an amateur GJ, so he's not even really

204
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: the big time. Sorry if you are listening, but do

205
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: not if you look at the size of his gigs.

206
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Anybody who's seen the DJ numbers, you might not call it. Yes,

207
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: it's not the back garden. No, it's Habitha. That's where

208
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: he normally DJ. Is not the back garden, Caroline, Let's

209
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: remember that. But he has been slightly criticized in this piece.

210
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: And this is all over the blurredlines between his day

211
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: job as the Goldman CEO, and some employees have helped

212
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: him manage his DJ schedule and also his donations. And

213
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: this is according to three people who have worked with him.

214
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: And also what have he got that remix if he

215
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: was just a normal amateur GJ. So this is what

216
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: the piece in the New York Times is really focusing

217
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: on and arguing. Okay, fascinating stuff for the Anger, and

218
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: thank you very much for that review of the newspapers. Well,

219
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: let's move on to talk about a bit about the

220
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: equity markets here in the UK. We have hitting a

221
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: record high and trading on Friday. What does the future

222
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: hole though for the UK's Benchmark Index member uk Starts

223
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: reported Joe Eastern as with as in studio, Good morning

224
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: to you, Joe. So is this keep climbing? I think

225
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: potentially could keep going up with the broader market. But

226
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: according to the people that we've spoken to for the

227
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: piece we've got on the website today over the weekend,

228
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: and they kind of think that the outperformance could start

229
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: to fade now and we might have seen the peak

230
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: in you know, some of the energy prices, some of

231
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: the defensive trades have benefited the index, and people might

232
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: start looking elsewhere, taking a bit more risk and going

233
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: to the US, going to uh maybe even the FIR

234
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: two fift. So I think the outperformance potentially coming to

235
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: an end um. But but yeah, I'm trying to think

236
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: of a way to bring in some DJing puns. Think

237
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: of anything in terms of the performance of the index

238
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: in recent years compared to markets elsewhere, I mean, is

239
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: it's defensive and this is the environment that it should

240
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: be doing well in? Yes, I think so. I think

241
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: that what we've seen obviously in the past few months

242
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: is the interest rate expectations coming back down and then

243
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: the broader market you know this the European markets now

244
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: in a ball market, as they call it, up twenty

245
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: since the low. So potentially people are looking to take

246
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: more risks. And we've spoken to black Croc in the

247
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: piece and they're saying that they don't think that the

248
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: foots one has has meant much legs as it had before,

249
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: and they're looking elsewhere. And I think, particularly given the

250
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: way the energy markets looking, I think that could start

251
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: coming down and that would be a negative for the index.

252
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: You draw this comparison the piece to the trajectory since

253
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: Braxit in terms of dollar terms, and we look at

254
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: us at the spire, the banks about European indexes and

255
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: the foot see as well. How much of this underperformance

256
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,239
Speaker 1: that we saw in recent times be can be attributed

257
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: to Braxit or what? What is the link that you've

258
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: drawn in the article. Some of it is to do

259
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: with Brexit, but obviously something we talked about a lot

260
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: is how around seventy five percent of the revenue comes

261
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: from abroad. And the FIRTE one hundred actually underperformed since

262
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: about twenty twelve, so since basically the back end of

263
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: the financial crisis, it started under performing. And that was

264
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: because everyone got obsessed with growth stocks, like you know,

265
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: tech stocks like Tesla and Google and stuff like that,

266
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: and the foot see one hundred doesn't really have much

267
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: big tech. We do have listed tech in London, but

268
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: it's the small cap the mid caps, it's not in

269
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: the foot see one hundred. So people avoided the foot

270
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: see one hundred. And then when interest rates went up,

271
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: the discount rates and some you know, technical things that

272
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: analysts look at made tech stocks less attractive and they

273
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: fell a lot, so the foot see one hundred fell

274
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: by less. But then Brexit came and added to the

275
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: woes for you know, the proportion of the revenue that

276
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: comes from the UK economy. Okay, just really briefly then

277
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: f Fittzee two fifty. Ravens cross c Io was in

278
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: last week saying actually reverse two fifty is that a goer? Yes,

279
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: because it's more cyclical. So I think that as people

280
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: are getting slightly more optimistic on the economy, the foot

281
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: see two fifty looks more attached to what's happening in

282
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: the economy, and it will. It will move in tandem

283
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: with the economy, whereas the foots does its own thing,

284
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: is in its own little world. But the foot two

285
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: fifty is a better way to track the economy higher.

286
