1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio News. Good morning, I'm Nathan

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: following today, Karen.

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: Stocks are coming off their best week of the year

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: ahead of a key speech from FED chair J Powell.

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: The S and P five hundred has gained for seven

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: straight sessions. A flurry of strong economic data last week

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: was cheered on by investors. Nadia Lovell, as senior US

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: equity strategist at UBS Global Wealth Management, she is still

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: bullish on tech stocks.

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 3: Well, we have been advising clients to do, particularly our

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: international clients that tends to have Leod's exposure to attack

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 3: just because of home bias, is to continue to buy

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: on the weakness in tech.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 4: I mean, we heard some positive data points throughout the

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 4: earnesties and particularly around the AI story. I mean we're

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 4: continuing to see those hyper scales, those large hyper scales,

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 4: those cloud service providers increase capax and quite frankly, we

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: think that there's upside the APEX estimates into twenty twenty five.

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: UBS isnadi a level notes the Nasdaq one hundreds more

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: than five percent game last week was a good sign

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: for tech stocks going forward, well as for the FED.

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: Nathan. The majority of economists and investors expect a twenty

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: five basis point rate cut next month, but City US

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: economist Veronica Clark is still looking for something bigger.

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 5: Starting with that fifty basis points in September, of the

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: bar is relatively low. There is the sense in which

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 5: you know, if they'd had that July employment data just

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 5: a couple of days earlier at that July FOMC meeting,

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 5: they probably would have cut in July. Maybe you're making

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 5: up for lost time a bit. The trend of the

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: unemployment rate has just been consistently rising. That we will

33
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 5: have one more employment report before September, but that's probably

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 5: not enough to convince you that those risks are not

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: asymmetric to the upside of the unemployment rate. So I

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 5: think it's easy for them to start with a fifty

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 5: in September.

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: And Citi's Veronica Clark pricing in the swaps market implies

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: around thirty basis points of easing next month and about

40
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: ninety three by the end of the year. That marks

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: a big retreat from earlier this month, when traders indicated

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and fifty bases points of cuts

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four.

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: Then Karen, we could get more clues on rate cuts

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: at the end of the week, that is when Federal

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: Reserve chair Jay Powell speaks in Wyoming. Bloomberg's Michael McKee

47
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: will be there for the Jackson Hole Symposium and has

48
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: this preview.

49
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 6: This is the week all Wall Street has been waiting for.

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 6: The Kansas City Fence Annual Jackson Hole Symposium is actually

51
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 6: an academic conference about economic theory, not current monetary policy.

52
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 6: Except for the Federal Reserve Chairman's opening remarks on Friday morning,

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 6: Jay Powell isn't expected to give investors a lot of

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 6: detail about the Central banks plans for rate cuts. He

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 6: is expected to say cuts remain on track as inflation

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 6: keeps coming down. The tone he sets, we'll set market

57
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 6: expectations for the next month until the next policy meeting

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 6: September eighteenth, Wall Street can decide whether the reality of

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 6: Jackson Hole lives up to the hype. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio.

60
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: Right and Mike, thanks, So, we do have a deal

61
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: to tell you about this Morning Circle k operator Kushtard

62
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: has made a proposal to take over much larger rival

63
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: seven eleven Owners, seven and I Holdings. A merger would

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: create a global network of roughly one hundred thousand convenience stores.

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: Now Karen to the latest from the Middle East, Secretary

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: of State Anthony Blinkin is set to meet with Israel's

67
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: Prime minister later today, as mediators say they are closing

68
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: in on a deal to halt the war in Gaza

69
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: and free hostages captured by Hamas. Blinken spoke earlier in

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: Tel Aviv.

71
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 7: I'm here as part of an intensive diplomatic effort on

72
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 7: President Biden's instructions to try to get this agreement to

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 7: the line and ultimately over the line.

74
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 8: It is time to get done.

75
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: This is Secretary of State Lincoln's ninth trip to the

76
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: Middle East since the conflict began.

77
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: Well back in the US, Nathan Democrats are coming together

78
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: for their convention in Chicago, but infighting over the Israel

79
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Hamas war threatens to pull them apart. Bloomberg's Amy Morris

80
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: has more.

81
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 9: The backdrop of the Democratic National Convention this week is

82
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 9: made up of pro Palaceian protests, incumbents ousted for criticizing Israel,

83
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 9: and warnings from the left over rising anti Semitism. Now

84
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 9: as the party tries to pull together in a show

85
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 9: of unity, Democrats remain split over Israel's war in Gaza.

86
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 9: Pro Palestinian and pro Israeli groups say they'll be there,

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 9: which means security is tight. Chicago and the DNC expect

88
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 9: fifty thousand visitors, twenty thousand members of the press, and

89
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 9: fifty five hundred delegates and more. President Biden speaks tonight,

90
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 9: Former President Obama speaks tomorrow night, Former President Bill Clinton

91
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 9: speaks on Wednesday, and Vice President Harris takes the stage

92
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 9: on Thursday. Amy Moore as Bloomberg Radio.

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: Thanks Amy. Vice President Harris spent the day before the

94
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: convention on a bus tour through the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

95
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: We know our country is going to be as strong

96
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 4: as our willingness.

97
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 9: To fight for it and to fight for what.

98
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: We stand for.

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: You know, and you know what you stand for.

100
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 9: You know what to fight for.

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: When the vice presidents spoke there to supporters in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

102
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: Harris heads into the convention with the New Washington Post

103
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: ABC News whose IPSOS poll showing her in the lead

104
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: against former President Trump among registered voters. Forty nine percent

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: to forty five percent. The poll's margin of er is

106
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: two percent. The same poll last month showed a dead

107
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: heats between Trump and President Biden.

108
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: And Nathan former President. Trump is planning events in four

109
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: swing states during the four days of the convention, including

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: a trip to the border later this week, and Bloomberg's

111
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: Ed Baxter has that story.

112
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 10: Immigration has been a sweet spot for Republicans in their

113
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 10: attack against Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump will be in Montezuma,

114
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 10: Pass Thursday, the same day Harris will accept the nomination.

115
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 10: Now Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly on CBS has heard

116
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 10: on Bloomberg says the Republicans just go to the border

117
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 10: for photo ops, but says the truth is Trump is

118
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 10: standing in the way. I mean, he specifically told my

119
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 10: Senate colleagues that they could not support this bill because

120
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 10: he wanted to have this issue for the election. Trump

121
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 10: is scheduled to get a briefing as well at the border,

122
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 10: Ed Baxter, Bloomberg Radio said.

123
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: In Ukraine, President Vladimir Lensky says the name of his

124
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: country's incursion into Russia is to create a buffer zone

125
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: between the two countries. His comments come as key of

126
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: has expanded its operation into the Curs region over the weekend.

127
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: It is nightly addressed to the nations. Zelensky made a

128
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: direct appeal to the US, UK and France.

129
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 11: In every direction, our troops are doing an outstanding job. However,

130
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 11: when it comes to supplies from our partners, we need

131
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 11: things to speed up. There are no holidays in war.

132
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 11: We need decisions, We need timely logistics with the promised

133
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 11: aid packages.

134
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: Speaking through an interpreter, Ukrainian President Vladimir Lensky said his

135
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,119
Speaker 2: forces have struck two key bridges in the Curs region

136
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 2: and disrupted some of Moscow's main supply roots.

137
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: And it's time now if for a look at some

138
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: of the other stories making news in New York and

139
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: around the world. And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's

140
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Michael Barr Michael, good morning.

141
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 8: Good morning, Karen. Flooding hit the Northeast after heavy rains

142
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 8: swamped the area. Vehicles were still in the high water,

143
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 8: especially in New Jersey, and people had to be rescued.

144
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 8: This stranded driver told ABC seven he was on a

145
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 8: date in Woodland Park when water enveloped the parking lot

146
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 8: and his vehicle wound up disabled.

147
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: Point and laugh. You know, it's like, oh that pour

148
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: succer No, we're the sucker.

149
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 6: To make for shirt.

150
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 8: Meanwhile, in western Connecticut.

151
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: This water is at least four to five feet high,

152
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: nearly a.

153
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 8: Foot of rain falling in just hours. Streets and sidewalks

154
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 8: were suddenly overwhelmed by water moving fast enough to carry

155
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 8: away cars. Storms sweeping through New York City disrupted flights

156
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 8: and train service. Tropical storm in Esto became a hurricane

157
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 8: again as it turned away from Bermuda and headed further

158
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 8: out in the northeastern Atlantic. Ernesto is sending powerful swells

159
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 8: toward the US East Coast, generating dangerous rip currents associated

160
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 8: with at least one depth and prompting many rescues. Many

161
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 8: East Coast beaches are closed, including in New York. The

162
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 8: National Hurricane Said in Miami said Ernesto's maximum sustained wins

163
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 8: we're seventy five miles per hour. That's barely Category one strength.

164
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 8: The storm is expected to pass near southeastern Newfoundland late

165
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 8: today and early tomorrow. Alsted Representative George Santos is expected

166
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 8: to plead guilty today to multiple felony accounts. The New

167
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 8: York Republican is charged with nearly two dozen counts, including

168
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 8: wire fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds. Santo's

169
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 8: faced twenty years in prison for the twenty three federal

170
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 8: charges of fraud that the US Attorney's Office has brought

171
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 8: against him. With the plea deal, no word on whether

172
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 8: the plea deal will help them avoid jail time. Finally,

173
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 8: it's that time of the year when parents and kids

174
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 8: head to stores from back to school shopping. A Bank

175
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 8: Great survey finds inflation is impacting buying habits, but not

176
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 8: as much as it was a couple of years ago.

177
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 8: Bank Great senior analyst Ted Russman.

178
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: About a third of back to school shoppers thirty two

179
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: percent say that inflation is changing.

180
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 6: The way they buy.

181
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago that was forty one percent.

182
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 8: Analyst Ted Rossman says another area as inflation is having

183
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 8: a greater impact, but back to school's shopping is one

184
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 8: area where people seem to be feeling a lot better.

Speaker 1: Bloomberg Sports Update with John stash Hour.

190
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 12: John, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. The little leaguers who

191
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 12: got to watch the Yankees and Tigers up close in Wayiamsport,

192
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 12: Pennsylvania saw bizarre game bottom the night day and the

193
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 12: Yanks led one did nothing. They had scored a run

194
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 12: without a hit. To that point. There had only been

195
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 12: nine hits in the game, all singles. But Detroit tied

196
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 12: the game with two outs of the night off Clay Holmes,

197
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 12: who blew a safe for a major league leading tenth time.

198
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 12: After the Yanks reclaimed the lad top of the tenth,

199
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 12: the Tigers tied it again in the bottom and were

200
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 12: not done there. We had a one to two pitch

201
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 12: scrow bowl side that's through for a base hit and

202
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 12: could well win it the Kid's tree around third to

203
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 12: Vegas with a throw of the play in the head

204
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 12: first slide is in time and the Tigers win in

205
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 12: walk up fashion.

206
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 8: Three to two over the Yankees.

207
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 12: Here in Williamsport, ESPN the call of the Parker Meadows

208
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 12: walk off of Mark Later it was Jason Dominguez making

209
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 12: that throw from left field. Teams were allowed to add

210
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 12: a player and the Yanks brought Domingas up from Scranton.

211
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 12: He had hit four home runs in eight games to

212
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 12: the Yanks last season before he got hurt. Last night,

213
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 12: he went zero for four, struck out three times at Cityfield,

214
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 12: Marlins beat the Mets three to two. The Mets got

215
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 12: Sterling mart Day back after missing two months with a

216
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 12: knee injury, but Brandon Nimmo, who homered and the loss,

217
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 12: then left the game with an achy shoulder. I'll have

218
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 12: an MRI today. The Mets tonight host Baltimore. The Orioles,

219
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 12: despite being out hit eleven to three, beat the Red

220
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 12: Sox four to two in Baltimore, back in the first

221
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 12: place time with the Yankees. Then Nationals won six to

222
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 12: four at Philadelphia, and the Giants won four to two

223
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 12: in Oakland. Last game ever between two Bay Area teams

224
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 12: as the Aser move into Las Vegas by way of Sacramento.

225
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 12: In Memphis Reki Matsuyama, but the other day with a

226
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 12: five shot lead, he won the Saint Jude Golf by two.

00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Investors are heading into this

232
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: new week with expectations riding high that the Federal Reserve

233
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: is on track to start cutting interest rates next month,

234
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: that all eyes will be on Chairman Powell and his

235
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: speech at Jackson Hole at the end of the week

236
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: to see if he seals in those bets. Joining us

237
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: now to get us ready for what's ahead live in

238
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: our interactive Brookers Studios this morning. Lori Calvacina, head of

239
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: US Equity strategy at RBC Capital Market, It's great to

240
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: have you with us in person this morning, Laurie. As

241
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: we watch S and P on a seven day winning

242
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: streak heading into this week. How much does this rally

243
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: hinge on what Chairman Powell has to say on Friday.

244
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 7: Well, thanks for having me as all, Nathan, And look,

245
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 7: I think it's probably his to not mess up at

246
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 7: this point, not that that's going to be his end goal,

247
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 7: but I do think that we've settled into the equity

248
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 7: part of the market, at least just the idea that

249
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 7: these rate cuts are coming in September. I do feel like,

250
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 7: at least in my conversations, questions about fifty have been

251
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 7: dialed down. It does seem like we've sort of I

252
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 7: wouldn't say we're completely out of the soft patch on

253
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 7: the economy or the concerns about labor and the consumer,

254
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 7: but it does seem like we're in a better place

255
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 7: on that. So, you know, I think at this point

256
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 7: we need to hear more of the same. You know,

257
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 7: I would assume that the commentary is going to be

258
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 7: carefully tailored to match what's been said previously, but as always,

259
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 7: we're going to have to tune in and.

260
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: See to that point about potentially not being out of

261
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: the rough patch in the economy. We did get some

262
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: pretty positive economic data at the end of the week,

263
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: particularly on retail sales and the dial down of weekly

264
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: jobless claims as well. Do you still have concerns about

265
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: the consumer after what we've heard at the at the

266
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: end of last week.

267
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 7: So, you know, we've never been in the recession camp.

268
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 7: We've thought that there was, you know, a moment that

269
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 7: we've been experiencing right now where consumers are reacting pretty

270
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 7: profoundly right to the higher interest rate environment. The cumulative

271
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 7: impact of inflation. As I looked at the retail sales data,

272
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 7: one thing that struck me was just how how kind

273
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 7: of back and forth it's been in recent months, you know,

274
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 7: sort of the idea, at least in my mind, that

275
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 7: maybe consumers are reacting and then have to go out

276
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 7: and buy the you know, buy the things and do

277
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 7: the things they need to do that life goes on.

278
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 7: They were talking in an earlier segment about back to school, right.

279
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 7: I mean, it is a great reminder that as long

280
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 7: as we do have jobs, and that's what we're really

281
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 7: seeing in that claims data. That's given people so much

282
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 7: comfort that consumers will go out and do the things

283
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 7: they need to do, even if they are reacting in

284
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 7: real time to some of these pressures. And I think

285
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 7: it's just a very very you know, sort of interesting

286
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 7: moment that we're in right now. One of the companies

287
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 7: that reported last week, they had a comment about the

288
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 7: sort of deferral mindset, and you know, I sort of

289
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 7: flashed back to kind of the mediate period after COVID.

290
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 7: I don't know if we you know, exactly where we

291
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 7: define that, but the idea of demand that was delayed,

292
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 7: not destroyed, was sort of a phrase. They kind of

293
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 7: bopped back into my mind, and I think we're going

294
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 7: to have some puts and takes. I think the data

295
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 7: is going to be important to watch. In my mind,

296
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 7: we are going to come out to a better place.

297
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was some interesting commentary from Home Depot last

298
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: week about this deferral mindset. When we have this idea

299
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: that consumers might be getting a little choosier now in

300
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: this high inflation, high interest rate environment. What sectors do

301
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: well in an environment like this?

302
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not sure if there's any one particular

303
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 7: set of sectors or you know, or industries. I do

304
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 7: think you have to take it company by company. I

305
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 7: will tell you that we've been neutral the consumer discretionary sector,

306
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 7: but we've been underweight consumer staples. And if you look

307
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 7: at consumer staples, it is a quite cheap sector. It's,

308
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 7: you know, in theory, if you're kind of going into

309
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 7: an economic soft patch, right, it's one that you might

310
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 7: think that you want to go into. But I think

311
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 7: at this point in time, you know, as I read

312
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 7: through just a very broad array of transcripts from those companies,

313
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 7: and I'm thinking back, you know, not just this reporting season,

314
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 7: but going back the last reporting season or two. It

315
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 7: really seems to me that that's a sector that's been

316
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 7: very slow to understand the sort of reaction that consumers

317
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 7: are having. And I do think that they're sort of

318
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 7: on the front lines of that war, so to speak,

319
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 7: right now. And that's enough to sort of keep me

320
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 7: on the sidelines for that sector with an underweight despite

321
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 7: you know, some attractive valuations on my quant work.

322
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: Just about thirty seconds left, Lourie, But after Chairman Palace

323
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: speech on Friday, we get Nvidia earnings a week from Wednesday.

324
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: I mean, how big a deal is that going to

325
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: be for the rally?

326
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 7: So I think the AI theme generally, you know, it's

327
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 7: been a fascinating one to track. I mean, we had

328
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 7: some you know, disappointments relative to high expectations early on.

329
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 7: Overlooked parts of this last reporting season. I think we've

330
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 7: had is that companies are starting to come out and

331
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 7: talk about how they're trying to use that technology and

332
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 7: how it's making an impact on the day to day. Now,

333
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 7: maybe that in and of its office two small potatoes

334
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 7: for investors and underwhelming, but I do think we've entered

335
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 7: into a place where you're starting to see some of

336
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:07,800
