Overall, 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: the US financial conditions determined pretty much the dynamics of 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: what happens seen emerging economis Bloomberg surveillance.

Michael Pond 45 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: is Barkley's head of Global Inflation Link Research, and Michael 46 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: kind of the question that comes to my mind is 47 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: how much of this is in your area, how much 48 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: of this is disinflation deflation fears, and how much of 49 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: it is just we don't know what's going to happen 50 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: in the world, so let's just buy bonds and and wait. 51 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: I mean pretty clearly, the move over the past several days, 52 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: even the past couple of weeks, has been about UM, 53 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: about fear, about fear of breakfit about another concern that 54 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: China might might slow down, and that brings global growth 55 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: UH down along with it. UM. I don't think it's 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: it's directly about deflation or I think it's definitely fear related, 57 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: but not on the on the deflation side, has anything 58 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: changed in the inflation trade. I'm looking at five year 59 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: forwards UH the inflation implied in inflation break even one 60 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: point six four percent, but that's nowhere near as low 61 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 1: as we got down to in February at the height 62 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: of the fear uh plunge. Then that's right. So so 63 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: inflation has priced by the market has come down a 64 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: bit inflation expectations but not nearly as as much, so 65 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: it's not a true risk off from a deflation standpoint, 66 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: but there are certainly some concerns. So you saw in 67 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: the University of Michigan Consumer Senate that survey on Friday, 68 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: that data showed that consumers have the lowest longer term 69 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: expectation of inflation ever on that survey, down to two 70 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: point three percent. So this is certainly the something that 71 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: the FED should be concerned about. Well, that's interesting, Tom, 72 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: because you wonder what drives that, Michael. Is it? Is it, uh, 73 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: the fact that people just are getting used to lower 74 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: gasoline prices. Well, yeah, so consumers often developed their inflation 75 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: inquotations based on their recent experience of price moves, and 76 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: with gasoline coming down, even longer term inflation exquotations have 77 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: come down with it. But there's also a true sense 78 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: of well, inflation spend low for not just the past 79 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: six months, but for quite some time. UM, and that 80 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: starts to embed in people's psychics, um psyche. Here the 81 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: oddities of the morning Mike mentioned futures negative nine have 82 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: come back a little bit, a little bit of a 83 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: bid to what I'm gonna call a saggy tape. Um 84 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: this smart blomebrick surveillance this Monday, watch you buy Investo 85 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: looking for investment views Investco's high conviction portfolio managers.

We are thrilled to bring a 89 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: Michael Pond. We're sitting on Friday. What was me? The 90 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: markets are strange? Who should we talk to? And there 91 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: was this roar from a surveillance team. Get Michael Pond. 92 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: We're thrilled um to have you here. What do you 93 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: say two institutional managers who hold our retirement money, people 94 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: with an actuarial assumption of like wicked short term seven 95 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: years or adult twelve years, or the idea of matching 96 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: twenty year liabilities. It's impossible, right, It's just flat out 97 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: impossible today. Well, the expectation near term expectation of returns 98 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: in in the low teens just just shouldn't be there. 99 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: Even the the high ones eight eight nine percent expected 100 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: returns year and year out maybe shouldn't be there under 101 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: a world of lower potential GDP. So returns should be 102 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: associated with potential GDP. And if if real rates are 103 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: are lower, the long term neutral row rate is lower, 104 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: show should long term return I get it. What is 105 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: the level of panic among adult institutional managers when they 106 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: see this rate structure? Forget about full faith and credit 107 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: when they look at corporates priced to brexit perfection, it's 108 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: it's definitely a concern as well as the recent low volatility. 109 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: So you know, because again investment managers, so professionals, even 110 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: if rates are low but moving around, uh you can 111 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: you can try to profit from that. You can try 112 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: to make some some money by positioning around rate moves. 113 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: But the ten year rate has been stuck in a 114 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: relatively low rains so uh not, it hasn't just been 115 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 1: moving moving up and being able to collect the yield. 116 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: But we haven't had a lot of volatility either, right 117 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: Mike got no gold up thirteen dollars a backstory, but nevertheless, 118 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: there it is. How how worried. Are you that, Um, 119 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: the bond market has gotten over extended here because I 120 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: suppose we wake up a week from Friday with a 121 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: solid remain vote for the Brits and you know it 122 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: evaporates and everybody wants to get to the exit it 123 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: Once again, We're not here just because of of Brexit. 124 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: UM data has come in week as well. The thirty 125 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: eight thousand on payrolls that we got earlier this this 126 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: month was the weakest in quite some time, and we 127 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: had nearly sixty thousand UH downward revision to two prior months. 128 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: So the so the economy itself is not is not 129 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: necessarily in great shape. That the the Paeril numbers at 130 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: cause our economists to increase their expectations of a recession 131 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: twelve months out to thirty percent from a normal average 132 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: year around. So it's not just near term risks that 133 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: have rates low. Mike, I know you want to jump 134 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: in here with Michael Pond just the idea of the 135 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: two year yield US two year zero point. I mean, 136 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: there's things in the screen I'm only getting to right now. 137 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: There's so many things moving around. Yeah, I'm just curious, 138 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: my go. Um, sure, the jobs report was bad, there 139 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: were things that weren't so terrible, including wages, and then 140 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: this Thursday we get the CPI and the forecast is 141 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: that the core on a year over your basis goes 142 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: up to two point two percent. Uh, you know, is 143 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: that another risk flash point? In other words, if if 144 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the jobs report is a head fake, then how worried 145 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: should we be? Well, that's the interesting thing here, Mike, 146 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: because you look at the six month analyzed trend on 147 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: on core, and again core is expected to come in 148 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: at point too. So keeping that six month annualized trend 149 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: alive at two point four percent, that's a normal level. 150 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: So by by that measure anyway, the Fed has done 151 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: its job and gotten inflation exactly where they want it 152 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: to be on a trend basis. As long as energy 153 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: stabilizes here, you'll get year year numbers there as well. 154 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: But the jobs data probably stays their hand. And so 155 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: we think that's actually a very good environment for the 156 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: tips market where the Fed isn't coming out and and 157 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: crushing in inflation infectations, but inflation expectation, but inflation itself 158 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: is moving a bit higher here. So we think the 159 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: market is quite cheap at around one point five percent 160 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: on a ten year break even versus we think the 161 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: trend is around two point four. Disinflation is overdone. Michael 162 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: Pond with this bark place. Now we'll continue this dis 163 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: gosh and we need to do a day to check here, Michael.

I completely missed European banks UniCredit in 234 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank had had three miserable days. Deutsche Bank in 235 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: Euros are thirteen point seven seven. That's a shocking deterioration 236 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: in two or three days. There's no other way to 237 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: put it. A lot of concern about what happens um 238 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: to and to banking in a Brexit situation, and therefore 239 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: to banking banks in the stock now one nine this 240 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: morning helping drive that index much lower. Michael Ponds, Barclay's Michael, 241 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to get you in trouble with your 242 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: general counsel at Barclays with a discussion of banking. But 243 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: if I look at the I S curve, the real 244 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: economy curve within the classic architecture, interest rates are in there. 245 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: How can we link what the what all this mumble 246 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: jumble we're talking about with what banks will do? I 247 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: don't get I mean, I think I get it in 248 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: the US. I think I sort of get it in 249 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: a doing better United Kingdom. How do European banks get 250 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: business done in this rate environment? Well, banks in general 251 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: need to be able to earn an earn a spread, 252 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: so low rates necessarily aren't uh you know, a stopping 253 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: point for banks to be able to earn that earn 254 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: that spread if they can lend UH to two profitable 255 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: UM institutions UM and and try to make money that 256 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: way UM. But with in a low potential GDP environment, 257 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: that becomes that becomes difficult. So you need structural reform 258 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: from the fiscal side to really get potential GDP, to 259 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: get productivity up, and then the lending channel can can 260 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: really open up from there. I get that, we've heard 261 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: that eighteen times that we need fiscal support. Let's assume 262 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: we're not going to get it. If we're not gonna 263 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: get it, how do banks clear their system Besides what 264 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: we saw in that FT article last week of Commerce 265 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: bank with a jillions of I don't know dollars or 266 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: marks or ponds whatever they were putting in their vaults 267 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: where it's almost like the Wild West. It's like Mike 268 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: Butch casting the Sundance Kid that bank in Bolivia where 269 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: there's just cash in the vaults. We're not used to that. 270 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: That's where we're heading, right, I mean, I don't have 271 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: a great answer to that question. Did you see that 272 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: that was a general council answer I've ever heard it 273 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: It certainly brings up the issue of unintended consequences of 274 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: monetary policy though, and that's why authorities need to tread 275 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: carefully here as they use uh tools in their toolkit 276 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: that are are fairly untested. It makes it makes for 277 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: quite a difficult situation for monetary policy authorities. Let me 278 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: give you a headline here, Um that is quite interesting. Uh, 279 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: different subject, but NATO, according to the Associated Press, NATO 280 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: will agree this week to deploy four valiant battalions to 281 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: the ball Take States and Poland is going to bolster 282 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: its defenses against Russia. That should rattle markets a little 283 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: bit and certainly will increase tensions with the Russians. Has 284 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: been talked about for a while, but we wanted to 285 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: bring that two people. Uh now just breaking from uh 286 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: the Associated Press, Uh Michael Bond. Uh. We're talking about 287 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: what's going on in Europe and certainly they have more 288 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: of a disinflation problem than we do. How do you 289 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: hedge them? Uh? You know, there's not a euro bond? 290 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: Can you can you pick different countries that you would 291 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: want to uh get an inflation hedge in place? Or 292 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: you know, what, what do you do? Well, there's a 293 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: solid inflation market in Europe as there is in the 294 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: in the US, most of the inflation products they're price 295 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: off of European inflation rather than country specific inflation. Markets 296 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: are although there's there's some of that now. Now we 297 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: expect that core UH inflation in your will continue to 298 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: run below one per cent, so well below the ECB's 299 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: target of just below two percent um as, and they 300 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: they'll likely continue to to try to find new ways 301 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: to stimulate the economy. Markets are priced for that low inflation, 302 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: though so unlike in the U S where markets are 303 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: priced for very low inflation and we think inflation has 304 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: largely normalized in the US UH, European markets are priced 305 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: for that low inflation that we expect. Unit credit is 306 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: within three Sun teams. What's the hundreds of a euro? 307 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: Michael pun is it Sun teams French? There three hundreds 308 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: of a year since? Yeah, Sun teams since whatever? Then 309 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: it was an early two thousand and twelve breaking down 310 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: to new lows. Michael, here in a PDF file from 311 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: a school, you know, basic macro one on one since 312 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: a fall and interest rates increases investment spending. We didn't 313 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: see that, have we? I mean, what what the kids 314 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: are being taught and I slm Analis isn't happening right now, 315 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: is it? And that that was my point about banks 316 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: earning earning a spread off those low interest rates, the 317 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: extensive investment picks up UM and the lending channel really 318 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: opens up UH that that can boost growth uh and 319 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: and really get the economy going again. But that's not 320 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: not what really is happening here. Monetary policy has worked 321 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: through essentially the portfolio reallocation channel, where they're trying to 322 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: push investors out the risk curve rather than the rather 323 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: than actually increasing investment here. And that has happened to 324 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: some extent. If you look at global equities uh US 325 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: market for example, is is near highs despite all the 326 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: risks out there. So so that portfolio relocation channel has worked, 327 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: but it's not worked enough to really still me at 328 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: the economy.
