13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: ain't working for you this year. Alfonso Peccatiello, author and

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: former head of Fixed Income Portfolio manage at I n

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: G Deutschland, he joins us here. Uh, Alfonso, thanks so

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: much for taking the time here. Boy, it has been

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: a brutal year for fixed income investors. Nowhere to hide.

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: What do you make of it? You've been doing this

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: for a long time, what do you make of this? Well?

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Will that make of this is that basically central banks

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 1: try to warn us that they were very serious about

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: fighting inflation, but the bond market didn't want to listen

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: at first, and they just had to double down to

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: make sure that everybody understands it. This is not like

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: it does in an eighteen or nineteen, where you know

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: they can basically tighten a little bit and make sure

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: that they are respected by markets. Because inflation and inflation

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: expectations went out of control, the reaction function is not

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: linear anymore, and they need to get ahead of the curve.

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: And that's what they're trying to do now, which obviously

31
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: hits the bond market. I find I'm looking at the

32
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: volatility across treasuries and we're at a stage or at

33
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: a height that's even greater than what we saw in

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: this kind of crunch moments of the pandemic where none

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: of us knew what was going to happen. And what

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm struggling to understand is why is this market struggling

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: to price in the future path in terms of recession,

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: in terms of where policymakers go next. Some things more

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: certain now than they were in that early pandemic era.

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: This is such a great point. And the problem with

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: this is that central bankers told us they're going to

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: be pretty mechanical, So I'm gonna quote power. Basically, it

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: told us that he wants to have a real fat

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: funds rate at least in the one percent positive area

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: before it feels relatively satisfactory with the stunts. And that

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: means that even if inflation slows down a little bit,

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: and we all hope that next year, that fat funds

48
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: rate will have to be in the four and a

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: half five percent area. Now, if inflation doesn't slow down,

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: on the other hand, that means that mechanically the Federal Reserve,

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: to preserve the credibility, will need to have nominal fat

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: funds rate even higher than that. So when new price volatility,

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: as a bond trader, obviously you left to look at

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: both the right end and the left end of your distribution,

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: and at the moment, because of recession risks, the left

56
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: end is open, but the right end is also open

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: because if inflation doesn't slow down, then central banks will

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: just mechanically keep hiking rates. The last one I have

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: is that higher bond volatility actually deters investors from taking

60
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: risks in other rest classes. The bond market is the

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: biggest market in the world, the most liquid and deep.

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: And if people can figure out and they have to

63
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: price alativity is so wide in the most liquid us

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: at so ball, how can they take risks when it

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: comes to risk your uset classes. And that also has

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: implications for equities and credit spreads which are widening. Indeed,

67
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: so one of the things we hear about when we

68
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: talked about fixing come folks, particularly on on the trading

69
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: sign is poor liquidity in the marketplace. Can you define

70
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: what that means to you and maybe how the practical

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: implications day to day for investors. So how would define

72
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: that is, if you're a market practitioner, if you try

73
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: to trade anywhere above a hundred to two hundred millions

74
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: of ten year treasuries, you would have big dusk quotes

75
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: which are much wider than you know, what you're used

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: to be, you're used to have in the past. So

77
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: when you have that kind of big dusk spreads that

78
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: tend to widen in the most liquid market doable, it's

79
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: a sign that the plumbing is not really working well.

80
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: And for plumbing, refer to the ability of market makers

81
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: to warehouse risk, and this ability was crippled from Great

82
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,559
Speaker 1: Financial Pride, the post Great Financial Prices regulation, which effectively

83
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: made it much more capital expensive and inefficient for market

84
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: makers to provide liquidity to such a market. But the

85
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: real underlying problems actually happen when the report market doesn't

86
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: work because most of this balance sheet, the risk, the

87
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: risk taking ability out of market makers and hedge funds

88
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: actually happens to be balanche it heavy. So there are

89
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: report transaction underlying the ability to provide liquidity. If the

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: report markets show some sign of stress, you immediately see

91
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: that in the treasury market right now, That's really not

92
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: the case yet. It also has to do with some

93
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: facilities the Federal Reserve set up, like the standard reper facility.

94
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: But it is definitely something to ever look at. I

95
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: want to look some other corners the market Europe corporate

96
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: bond September is kind of classically. I believe a great

97
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: month for the bond market this year. It's not why well,

98
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: this year is not because we saw an acceleration of inflation,

99
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: both in your up and in the US. And when

100
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm in acceleration, guys, it is not only the level

101
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: of inflation which is undoubtedly very high. But it's the

102
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: momentum and the composition of these inflationary pressures which is

103
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: interesting if you look at the moving average of core

104
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: inflation x energy. So I'm looking like at the momentum

105
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: of the stickiest part of the inflationary basket, the one

106
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: that central bankers are the most worried about because they're

107
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: tough to bring down. They're actually accelerating, both in the

108
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: US and in Europe, two levels last set in momentum

109
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: terms in the eighties. So no wonders that actually have

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: to tighten the stands, which hits the bond market further. Alright,

111
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: a fan, so great stuff. Really appreciate getting your thoughts

112
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: on your perspective. Afonso Peccatillo, author and former head of

113
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: fixed income portfolio management at I n G Deutschland. Looking

114
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: at the shares of Nike down by ten and a

115
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: half percent today eight change on agre day basis down

116
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: almost fifty per sent here so uh, and they reported

117
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: some numbers today that disappointed Wall Street. Let's get the

118
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: latest with Bloomberg's Abigail Doolittle. Abigail, I guess they got,

119
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: like a lot of other retailers. They got an inventory problem.

120
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: They do. North American inventories up six overall global inventories

121
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: up more than And what's interesting about this is a

122
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: piece of it has to do with the supply chain

123
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: kinks because they can't get what they have had made

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: abroad where they needed to get it on time. By

125
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: the time it gets to where it's needed, it's out

126
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: of season and it's sort of rocks like bad food. So, yeah,

127
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: bloated inventories like so many other UH companies and retailers.

128
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: So that led to a miss and led to them

129
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: cutting the outlook. Gross margins are real big problem. They're

130
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: now going to be two two hundred and fifty basis

131
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: points lower than expected. But it's not just the inventories.

132
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: It's also those higher freight their freight issues, but the

133
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: higher freight costs and of course for an exchange. Yeah,

134
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: they had the kind of full potion cauldron of problems, right.

135
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: And it's interesting. I'm gonna get some of the other

136
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: stocks in the market that pays Lulu lemon for example,

137
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: some of the shoemake is also lower. It's not getting better,

138
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: is it? It's not getting better? And the sense that

139
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: I get from this quarter because the miss actually wasn't

140
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: that bad. They actually beat on sales sales three percent

141
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: out of than estimates, and the earnings miss by less

142
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: than one percent. Again, it's more the outlook. First of all,

143
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: China was very weak because of the continued COVID outlook.

144
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: But my sense is that there's not so much of

145
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: a weak US consumer factored in here yet. It has

146
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: more to do with these other issues. So if we

147
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: are stumbling into some sort of a true recession, I

148
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: think we can all agree that on some level the

149
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: economy is slowing, it could really be a strong issue

150
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: when you put it together with these other factors. And

151
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: what I've learned from you know, reading the research of

152
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: like Punham Goyle from Bloomberg Intelligence, for example, is when

153
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: you got extra inventory in the pipeline, it's not like

154
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: you just kind of keep there and I'll sell it

155
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: next year. You gotta blow it out. You gotta blow

156
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: it out. The way you do it is a discount,

157
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: massive discounting. Well, I will admit the first time I

158
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: was reading these discounts, as I told you, I'm in

159
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: the the market for some new golf clothing. I was thinking, oh,

160
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: but you know what the one thing I will say is,

161
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: so we heard this. We've heard the story so many times,

162
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: but we heard it in big time earlier this year.

163
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: Probably the real the big company that started all this

164
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: target I went to those stores and I didn't find

165
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: any of the good deals, right, So I'm thinking that

166
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: maybe some of the inventory problems are more regional. But

167
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm still going to try relative to Nike. Something relative

168
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: to the stock though, to think about. So as we're

169
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: mentioning Paul, it is down on the year, the worst

170
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: year ever. The evaluation is still sky high. That they're

171
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: trading at a pe of twenty four times forward, that

172
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: is at the high end of the two year range,

173
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: and it's also above the mean of eighteen point times

174
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: for the rest of the group, and it's also high

175
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: for all the other evaluation metrics. So you could make

176
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: the case that fundamentally and technically this stock has more

177
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: to go as high to most of them has some

178
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: of the stretched chip covering day to day. It's actually

179
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: astonishing to see that stats walking behind us. He made

180
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: the point earlier that actually another intr entry issue. You

181
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: go onto the website, you can't get the thing that

182
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: you want anyway, and that speaks to the shipment issues.

183
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: But you love golf, I love football, European football soccer

184
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: to you out there. We have a World Cup here,

185
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: and you do wonder if that event that catalyst helps

186
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: a company like Nike later on in the year. Well,

187
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: if it could, if they can make the product that

188
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: is appealing to you and to John and to other folks,

189
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: and then if they can actually get it to you,

190
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: if you can order it and buy it. I mean

191
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: to have these supply chain kinks. I remember these sorts

192
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: of issues back in the tooth, that early two thousand area,

193
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: that their bear market unrelated to uh this sort of

194
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: factor was actually more about uh fashion wrong. So companies

195
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: would make the fact, you know, whatever the style was,

196
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: and then folks didn't want it, so kind of sit

197
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: there and they would have to discount it. But it'll

198
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: be interesting to see whether or not they'll be able

199
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: to take advantage of it. That could that could be

200
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: a nice opportunity for them to kind of come out

201
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: of this hole. All right, So ed you mentioned this.

202
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: The World Cup. English plans notably are good. They travel well,

203
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: they do travel well. Are they going to go to cutter?

204
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: It's really interesting there are lots of moral cultural issues.

205
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Football fans, I would say, tend to look past those.

206
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Qatar is an expensive place to go at the best

207
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: of times if you're if you're a UK football fan.

208
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: Remember also Whales are in that group as well. I'm

209
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: proudly Welsh and I'm looking forward to that show down

210
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: with the United States and h are on um. Do

211
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: they travel? I have no idea, but they can drink

212
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: I think now I saw news not twenty four hours

213
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: a day, but maybe like eighteen or nineteen hours a day.

214
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: They can, but only in like selected places. I mean

215
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: football fans like that their adult beverage of choice they do.

216
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: And also how big a factor is the pound right now?

217
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: If you I mean, I'm hoping to go home in

218
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: December for the holiday period and as a somebody that

219
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: draws a salary in dollars, you know, it's not so

220
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: bad for me but for my family. Yeah. Well it's

221
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: interesting you're saying that because I've been thinking about winning

222
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: a trip and somebody was saying, well, you should go

223
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: to Europe, you know, because it's on ze um. So

224
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: the same thing with UK. You know, looking at these

225
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: Nike numbers, it kind of makes me think about and

226
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: whenever we have these earnings issues, it kind of goes

227
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: to show you that the earnings risk in this market.

228
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: I think it's still there. Oh, I can't say. I

229
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: think it's it's just starting. Yeah, And I just wonder

230
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: how much you know earnings are going to come down

231
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: in this period. Are our company is gonna kind of

232
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: really throw in the kitchen sink? And if so, this

233
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: market can't really make a bottom until we get through that. Yeah.

234
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: I think that that's a great point. And to go

235
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: back to that two thousand to two thousand three time

236
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: period that was just a long, slow move lower for

237
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: earnings and companies not being able to manage expectations and

238
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: having to cut quarter after quarter after quarter, like the

239
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: kitchen sink really didn't exist at that point. So now

240
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: you see a company trying to do this but kind

241
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: of get worse than this. Absolutely, if the consumers slows down,

242
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: earnings expectations are coming down, but in a recession, historically,

243
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: looking at the data, they get a mega reset right

244
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: ten to depending on the sector. Is that happened yet? No?

245
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. And the other thing is this is a

246
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: recession that will also come against with the FED raising

247
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of people are. I

248
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: saw something about like the FED pudd is coming back soon,

249
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: because it's uh that personally, I don't agree with that.

250
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: I think that every single UM FED official and you know,

251
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: if you look at the dot plot, the average year

252
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: end rate FED funds rate for the media and FED

253
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: is four thirty seven. WARP has it at four twenty.

254
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: That's a seventeen bit difference between what the FED is

255
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: saying and what the markets are saying. If the FED serious,

256
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: even just this year, there's some catchup. So to have

257
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: that kind of liquidity pressure, uh, in addition to the

258
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: fundamental slowdown, it's just it's something we haven't seen. I mean,

259
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: I guess we sort of stow in the early eighties.

260
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: I don't remember it, but wasn't that I was very small.

261
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: Early eighties were very good for me. Thank you very much.

262
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: All right, Abigail the little thank you so much. We

263
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: appreciate it. She covers all things markets for Bloomberg Radio

264
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: and Television. Let's talk geopolitics as we talk about these markets,

265
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: because boy, there's a lot going on in the world

266
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: with Russian, Ukraine and so on. We can do that

267
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: with Nick stat Miller, Director of Emerging Markets at Medley

268
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: Global Advisors. So, Nick, I mean emerging markets at a

269
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: time when interest rates are rising, We've got geopolitical issues

270
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: like we haven't seen since World War Two in Europe.

271
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: How does that factor into what you guys do in

272
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: your emerging market work there? Well, you know, one observation

273
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: I've heard from a lot of a lot of our

274
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: clients is that they feel like geopolitics is more relevant

275
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: for the market now than it has been any time

276
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: in the last thirty years, going back to the First

277
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: Gulf War. So it obviously takes up a lot more

278
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: of our bandwidth. And geopolitics is, by necessity, by definition,

279
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: a very qualitative discipline, so it becomes very hard to

280
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: quantify what the impact. You know, you can talk through

281
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: all the scenarios and assigned probabilities, but figuring out what

282
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: that's going to do to a currency or rates or

283
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: stock markets is is really hard. So you have to

284
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time tracking the psycho oology of

285
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: the market around those events. We're talking about Russia, but

286
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: we're also thinking about Turkey. I find this fascinating that

287
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: Riship tie Burdwan is kind of offering himself as a

288
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: mediator in the conflict Russian Ukraine conflict. At the same time,

289
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: the Turkish economy is suffering. I think I'm right and

290
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: saying the trade deficit hit the worst on record in August, Right,

291
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: So where do you look to in that scenario? Should

292
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: should Turkey stay out of the way? What's going on there? Yeah,

293
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: there are a lot of moving parts, and Turkey is

294
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: on track to post a record current account deficit this year.

295
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: It probably is going to be around fifty billion dollars.

296
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: And the other problem they have is that their effects

297
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: reserves are very low. Radwan is forcing the central Bank

298
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: to keep interest rates low. They're at twelve percent when

299
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: inflation is eighty percent and they're looking to cut more.

300
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: So you know the energy markets that are a big

301
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: factor in this, right absolutely, the the energy import bills

302
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: is the biggest driver in that current account deficit, and

303
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: uh in the high cost of energy. So everyone is

304
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: in a very weak position economically, and He's tried to

305
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: sort of balance his support for Ukraine and Russia and

306
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, play that sort of impartial mediator, but he

307
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: frequently gets caught on the side. And then you've got

308
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: Russia that has faced unprecedented unified sanctions from the West

309
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: and really looking to figure out ways to do foreign

310
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: trade and investment around those sanctions, and they're trying to

311
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: do it in Turkey, and Turkey really needs the money,

312
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: but the US really does not want Russia to subvert

313
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: those sanctions, so it's really sort of becoming a pressure

314
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: point in the confrontation between Russia and the West. So

315
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: just broadly to find how do you think, how do

316
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: you guys think about Turkey as a place to invest.

317
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: Is it just too too risky at this point? You

318
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: need more stability, whether it's from the government or just

319
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: the fiscal side. It's it's wrong on all fronts. You

320
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of political instability and increasing repression, so

321
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't score very well on policy predictability

322
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: and stability. Monetary policy as a disaster, the central banks

323
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: balance sheet is a mess, Fiscal policy is becoming increasingly

324
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: not credible um, so it's very hard to see how

325
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: anyone would want to firm make some firm commitments there

326
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: until you see some serious policy changes. When we consider

327
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: emerging markets, how has the war in Ukraine prompted the

328
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: market to reshuffle where it places capital because of all

329
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: the interlink between these nations and also of course because

330
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: of the effects of sanctions. Right well, the big impact initially,

331
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: of course, you know there's risk off whenever you have

332
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: any sort of geo political uncertainty, you get this broad

333
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: risk off, and emerging markets are always friends in the

334
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: fire line. But then you had this price shock into

335
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: commodities because particularly on grain and wheat and on the

336
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: oil side. That's largely subside it since then. But then

337
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: you have these lingering sort of regional problems. Great example

338
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: is the cut off of Russian gas into europe Um,

339
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: particularly in the emerging markets front. You have the central

340
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: European economies, most notably hungry, very vulnerable to that. So

341
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: it there is a global impact in terms of the

342
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, the commodities and the risk off sentiment, but

343
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: then there's sort of this regional impact that you have

344
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: to sort of suss out on a country by country basis.

345
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: And again back to Turkey, higher energy prices really hurts

346
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: them on the external account. Where are given all these

347
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: uncertainties in the backdrop in whether it's interest rates, monetary policy,

348
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: political issues, the least place I want to be as

349
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: emerging markets, But you have to do it for a living.

350
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: So what where are you and your clients kind of

351
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: doing work and seeing opportunities in emerging markets? Yeah, I

352
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: mean the strong dollars killing EM currencies, higher rates, and

353
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: tighter liquidity globally are really tightening up their access to credit.

354
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: I think at this point it's it's a relative value story.

355
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: So you look for places, um, you know, where they're

356
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: that could outperform others. And so you know, you have

357
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: the Czech Republic which has you know, a stronger balance sheet,

358
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: uh and um, you know, a very stable currency because

359
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: of the central bank policies. You know, I think that

360
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: has a really strong chance about performing Hungary. You know,

361
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: if you look in Latin terms of trade, probably favor

362
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: countries like Columbia that are oil exporters over places like

363
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Chile which are very exposed to copper prices which have

364
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: really taken a plunge in recent months. So it's really

365
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: sort of selective and it's more relative value than just hey,

366
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: let's expand our exposure to EM as a whole. What's

367
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: the biggest cat list for emerging markets in I think

368
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say two very interrelated things, which is how

369
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: long this dollar strength persists, and I don't think it's

370
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: so much a story about what the Fed does. You know,

371
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: if it's fifty or seventy five and an individual meeting,

372
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: But the overall structurally higher set of dollar rates that

373
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: you're seeing, I think, um, those two and then I

374
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: would say, secondarily is the extent to which inflation starts

375
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: to normalize globally and this inflation shock recedes. All right, Nick,

376
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: that's great stuff. Nick stad Miller, Director Emerging Markets at

377
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: Medley Global Advisors. Joining us live in studio, so it

378
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: gets a gold star for being in studio. We appreciate

379
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: that today's focus on munities has brought to you by

380
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: Built American Mutual. When the market is volatile, BAM provides stability.

381
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: BAM insured municipal bonds delivered the fall protection, value, preservation,

382
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: and a durable rating. Ask your broker about BAM in

383
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: short municipal bonds. That that's a read that Matt Miller

384
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: just loves to read. He goes all off on the

385
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: BAM thing, and it's it's kind of embarrassing, but it's

386
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: his thing, so I leave him to it. Yeah, I

387
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: did not do it justice. Joe Mysac joins us here.

388
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: Joe does all things municipals for Bloomberg News. Joe, we're

389
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're all kind of looking at the images

390
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: in the video of the terrible tragedy down in Florida.

391
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: Is it an issue for the missible bond market when

392
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: you see that type of disruption and destruction, destruction, and

393
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, not just Florida. If it's kind of it

394
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: back out in the ocean, it's winding up, it's going

395
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: to South Carolina, more destruction there. But in answer your question,

396
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: it's very surprising to most people that natural disasters tend

397
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: not to be a credit issue for municipalities, for states

398
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: and municipalities, purely because insurance money, you know, following the waves,

399
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: following the actual water that comes in comes waves of cash,

400
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: insurance money, federal assistance, rebuilding efforts get under way. So yes,

401
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's a tremendous agity, tremendous destruction and then

402
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: this tremendous renewal, if you will. So unless a municipality

403
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: goes kind of out of business. Uh, the the jet

404
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: service is completely intact. Things occur um just as they

405
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: normally would, and natural disasters are really just uh, you know,

406
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: something that the market, shrugs off. The only thing that

407
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: I could think of otherwise is, uh, you know, a

408
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: couple of those towns that were destroyed by wildfire in California,

409
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: they missed debt service because the whole town was wiped

410
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: out and records were lost and things like that. But otherwise, no,

411
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: it's not really a credit event. Interesting, all right, you've

412
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: got let's move from South Florida up to preppy island

413
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: of Nantucket. Are you trying to tell me, Joe that

414
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: Nantuckett is going into the bond market? Are they gonna

415
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: do an issuance here? They did? They, they did it. Yes,

416
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: they sold this week. And most of the issue is

417
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: for affordable housing because Nantucket, like uh, your nearby island,

418
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard. Um, like I want to say Aspen, I

419
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: think Veil as well. Uh. These are places that people

420
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: love and they're charming and they're enchanting, and there's no

421
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: room for the people who are essential service providers to live.

422
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: They're being priced out of their own homes. So you

423
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: know you're seeing police and fire, nurses and teachers. Uh,

424
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: that's who's going to benefit from this affordable housing bond issue.

425
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: And Nantucket, let's face it, and Martha's vene your two

426
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: there's really you can't say, well, you ought the community

427
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: from the suburbs because you just know the ocean. This

428
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: sting in your column, which you wrote beautifully by the way,

429
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: you paint an idyllic picture of Nantucket, Massachusetts. But ultimately

430
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: they're issuing this debt for affordable housing, and in the

431
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: prospectives they're very much not focused on affordable housing. They're

432
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: just trying to sell the vision of the town. Well, yes,

433
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: and it's you know, the kind of the amazing factoid

434
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: I think I discovered there was that the median house

435
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: price on Nantucket is three million dollars. Interesting, you know,

436
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: so who funds it? Who pays this bond? Like is

437
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: it gonna be property taxes or is it going to

438
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: be this is a general obligation bond, so full faith

439
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: and credit of Nantucket. Uh, you know that includes all

440
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: the money they bring in, including this tax on hotel rooms,

441
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: that size taxes, and that has that's been a bowman

442
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: since the pandemic because people really wanted to get out

443
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: there and they couldn't go abroad. It couldn't you know, uh,

444
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: go to London, Like we're talking about so like, well,

445
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: let's you know, go domestically equisode Nantucket. Let's go there

446
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: so that the money has been coming in over the guddals.

447
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: If I were going to ever buy a house in

448
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: Nantucket and I'm not in the market, you have to

449
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: factor in the cost of an ownership of a plane,

450
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: because there's no way you're doing that fery thing. That's

451
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: a crazy trip. So if I can't afford a plane

452
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: and the house, I'm not buying the house. What do

453
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: you think of that strategy? Not a boat? Come on? Yeah? No, No,

454
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: I need to take off from you know, like Marshtown

455
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: and just jet up to Nantucket. If I can't afford

456
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: that, that that doesn't fit into talking about a little propeller

457
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: plane or what. Yeah, I could do that, but no,

458
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: I probably need a jet because the weather gets kind

459
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: of funky up there, you know. So the last person,

460
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: you know, John F. Kenny Jr. Flew a plane up

461
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: there and propeller. That didn't work out so well. Well no,

462
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: all right, So Nantucket in the bond market raising money.

463
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's a top rated bond, right triple, A

464
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: rated triple because Nantucket has the money coming in and

465
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: they also got money from the federal government, the ARPO

466
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: funds and things like that. So uh N, tuxs doing

467
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: very well, and these bonds sold at very you know,

468
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: good prices for them, so they'll be able to uh

469
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: you know. The building of affordable housing is something that

470
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: they have been doing, so it's not as though this

471
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: is brand new. They have been trying to keep up

472
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: with this, and yet the demand is fabulous because they

473
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: haven't sold enough. They haven't built enough affordable housing. All right, Joe,

474
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: good stuff. No, that's it. That's it, Joe Mysa, Editor.

479
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,640

480
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: but what we'll school them on it here. It's triple

00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: tax free. That's what I know. Let's check you with

Speaker 1: L A is the stock symbol to put into your

484
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: Bloomberg terminal. I'm looking at it. It's a seventeen billion

485
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: dollar market cap company, stocks up thirty nine year to date.

486
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,040

00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us here. Why is your

488
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: company stock up? This is a great company with the

489
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: largest we're the largest independent UH broker dealer in the country,

490
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: and it's also growing at at a rapid pace and

491
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: very well manage as you can imagine in this environment

492
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: to see the share price up, you know, in that trajectory. Yeah,

493
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: you can't say that. It's also a great company to work.

494
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, all right, we got a little

495
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: green on the screen today. But this has been just

496
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: a brutal year. What's the view from LPL Financial? With

497
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: your stock up thirty percent? What are you guys thinking

498
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: about this market? Well? Yeah, I mean this it's a

499
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: market that is is chopping. There's tremendous uncertainty. And you

500
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: know what's interesting about this is we we've seen the

501
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: volatility index climb, the vix UH as the said began

502
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: raising rates. The next sape fairly dormant, fairly quiet. It

503
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: was understood what the Fed was doing. It was, you know, clear.

504
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: But what has happened as other central banks are raising

505
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: the rates and as their concerns grow that the FEDS

506
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: um aggressive campaign maybe pushing us into a recession. And also, uh,

507
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, just what happened in the UK that perhaps

508
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: there are other thought lines lurking in the global global system. Uh,

509
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, the vix is climbing because there's more uncertainty.

510
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: There's uncertainty regarding where this is taking us, and how

511
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: does the set actually bring us to price stability, which

512
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: out as the proverbial breaking something. You know what happened

513
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: in the UK with the pension fund issues and the

514
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: Bank of England having to go out and um, you know,

515
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: buy bonds again. It could happen anywhere and it does

516
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: and it does when financial conditions tighten. So that's the uncertainty.

517
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: And also, you know we're going into third quarter earning

518
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: season and the questions are what are those companies saying

519
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: not only their bottom line but their margins, But what's

520
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: the guidance? How are they seeing things? Are they all

521
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: going to be giving us the same guidance as set

522
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: Ex did on that Friday that you know the market

523
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: melted down. We don't know. So this is the uncertainty,

524
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: and we've got to just navigate through this. And it

525
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: looks as if the market wants to go lower and

526
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: find a you know, a level that has discounted all

527
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: of the headwinds, all of the problems. But you know,

528
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: most likely we're not there yet, so that that's what's

529
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: going to gone, but more defensive quincy. In periods of recession,

530
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: earnings expectations come down. Right, have earnings expectations come down

531
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: enough that we're reflecting that recession risk? Probably not? No,

532
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: no, no no, And that's that's the that's the other issue

533
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: for the market. It probably hasn't. But until we hear

534
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: from companies, either before they actually come out and you know,

535
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: have their official earnings call, but perhaps with pre announcements,

536
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: will have a will have an understanding of what they

537
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: are seeing, and the market then has to adjust. And

538
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, no one knows if there

539
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: will be a recession. If there is, will it be

540
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: a shallow one, will be a growth recession, or just

541
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: an earnings recession. The market right now is trying to

542
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: figure that out, and until it does, expect more chopped

543
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: So I mean this federal reserve, I mean, are you

544
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: in the camp that says this Federal Reserve is likely

545
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: to go too far, too fast, too high, and and

546
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: in fact pushes into recession. That seems to be the consensus.

547
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: It is, it is the consers. Clearly, it's the consensus.

548
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they've made it very clear. They don't want

549
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: to wait and watch to see how, you know, things

550
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: are turning out. They want to frontload it. And by

551
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: doing that, at least they have the luxuries. You can

552
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: see from the from the data, people are still spending.

553
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: Retail spending is still is still maybe not stellar, but

554
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: it's still solid. The labor market remains solid, probably too

555
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: much for the Fed. But the point is it's not

556
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: denting the economy in the way they want. Surely the

557
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: housing market is slowing, but they need rents that come down.

558
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: That's number one. The second thing is they need proofs

559
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: food prices to pull back, along with gasoline prices which

560
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: have obviously started moving back, and they need to have overall, uh,

561
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: the entire economy and demand to decrease, to decrease to

562
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: the point it's not going to push prices higher. I

563
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: just have to mention, you know, I saw the announcement

564
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: from Amazon. They're raising wages for those who work in

565
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: factories and the driver's nine. Amazon is going to pass

566
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: that along somewhere along the line. They're not. They're not

567
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: going to sit there and say do we we'll we'll

568
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: take care of this somewhere that is going to be

569
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: passed along to consumers, either to the companies on their

570
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: platform or yeah. So that's what the set is fighting.

571
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: This is the irony of this whole thing. I doesn't

572
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: want to see this private wage price spiral. It's a difficulty,

573
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: all right, Quincy, great stuff. Really appreciate getting your insight
