Speaker 2: Terminal and the Bloomberg Business app. Bran Weinstein and Morgan

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Stanley writs in the FED is now seen as a

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: head of the curve. The door is totally open for

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: another fifty, but the bar is high. The FED is

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: better off dragging this one out from here, having gotten

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: off to a good start. Brian joins us now for

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: more so. Brian easing in China rake US in the

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: United States. The prospect of some inflationary prolcies in DC

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: dependent on the outcome of the US election. A lot

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: of people ask him the same question, why aren't bond

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: yields higher, not lower?

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: I think we'll get there. It's going to take a

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 3: little while.

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 4: If the playbook says when the feed is easing, you

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 4: buy bonds, right, people want to lock in rates.

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: It's very rare.

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 4: In fact, it's never happened before that we've come from

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 4: such an inverted deal curve right right into an easing cycle.

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 4: And so I think people are missing that the trades

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 4: more or less already happened. But in the meantime, any

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 4: weaker data, you know, any FED easing, people will buy bonds.

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: So I believe bond yields will be meaningfully higher than here.

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 4: I think it's going to take a little while to

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 4: get there.

33
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: Let's just take into that word meaningful. Can we talk

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: about that? And you think we're at the bottom of

35
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: a much bigger range. How big is that range? What

36
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: is meaningfully higher?

37
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: You know?

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: So I came into this year saying three ninety to five,

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 4: and obviously I'm a little bit off on the low side.

40
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 4: So let's say it could be even a little lower

41
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: twenty five three fifty. I think when you look at

42
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: a FED with a terminal fund rate near three, the

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: eald curve should be at least one hundred and fifty

44
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: basis points steep. So that puts us at four to fifty.

45
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: If the Turmo rates three and a half or four, well,

46
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: then you go a lot higher. And I don't think

47
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: we've seen the highs and yields for this longer cycle yet.

48
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 4: So if we touch just short of of five percent,

49
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: I think you could see a five and a half

50
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 4: percent tenure note if the Fed does everything right, if

51
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: the data it gets better, and China easing is a

52
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: big part of that story. So you need more stimulus,

53
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: more spending, all the things we're going to get. I

54
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 4: think you can get ten year notes outside the range

55
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: of which we've seen to the high side much later

56
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: next year.

57
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: This is counter consensus in terms of how high the

58
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: yield could potentially be in this cycle. It is not

59
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: counter consensus when it comes to just volatility expected, especially

60
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: heading into the election.

61
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 5: How do you trade around this? How do you position

62
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 5: for that type of whipsaw?

63
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's amazing is nothing's happening, right, We're kind of

64
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: stuck in this three seventy to three ninety range, and

65
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: this is the tightest range. The rally happened over five

66
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: months and now now we're stuck. So I think the

67
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 4: answer may be, don't expect what I just said to

68
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: happen anytime soon again. People like fixed income, they want

69
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: to buy bonds. As the FED eases and listen to

70
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: the election, I don't know that unless there's a red

71
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: sweep or a blue sweep and there's a big outcome

72
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: that's unexpected, I'm not sure the market isn't ready for right.

73
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 4: We know we're going to get some more stimulus after

74
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: we know we're going to help out the hurricane victims.

75
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 4: It's a little slower than we'd like, and so they'll

76
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 4: be more spending, but there's also going to be an

77
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 4: economic slowdown, right, I mean, I don't think it's going

78
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 4: to be huge from here, but inflation is still falling.

79
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 3: So I think we're stuck in a bit of a

80
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: range maybe for stocks. Two.

81
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: And then when we get through this, when we get

82
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: into January February of next year and you see the

83
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: effects of the FED easing, I think you start to

84
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: see higher rates.

85
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: But it seems a little bit boring for right now.

86
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Well, see, this is what I was really struck with,

87
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: And over the weekend I spend a lot of time

88
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: thinking about the idea of how you navigate bifurcated tails.

89
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: This idea that you have potential hotter than expected economy

90
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: or you have a potential weaker than expected economy, and

91
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: right now people aren't willing to make any kind of

92
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: best so they're just betting on perfection in the middle

93
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. You're saying that we're not going

94
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: to get a catalyst to change that until next year,

95
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: that even though we're saying that Friday is the most

96
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: importants ever, that that's not necessarily going to tip the

97
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: tide one way or another.

98
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: I think it's by the way. I think you're right.

99
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: I think were priced for perfection, and I think the

100
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: tails are in play. The problem with say Friday's payroll

101
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: is if the FED hadn't gone fifty, right, if the

102
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: FED had been stubborn, the payroll would matter a lot.

103
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 4: The fact that they're ahead of the curve. Now we

104
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: know if it's weaker, they can go fifty again, so

105
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 4: you can get a response. If it's not weak and

106
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: they did a little too much, the curve might bear

107
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: steep in a little bit, or maybe even bear flatten. Right,

108
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: maybe we take out an extra ease, But at the

109
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: end of the day, is it going to change the

110
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: course of what they're doing.

111
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Right.

112
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: We know inflation went from a to close to two.

113
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 4: We know that employment is weaker than it has been,

114
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 4: maybe not super weak. So it leaves me thinking, as

115
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: much as I don't like it, as someone who wants

116
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: to help their clients make money, you're stuck in a

117
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: range for a little bit longer, despite the fact that

118
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 4: you do have these tail risks, and if we overreact

119
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: to one, you probably want to fade it right, which

120
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 4: puts you right back into that range concept.

121
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: Does this remind you of the inverse of pre twenty

122
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: twenty The line that really got that going in my

123
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: mind was we're a long way for neutral. I remember

124
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: that line, and they ended up being a lot closer

125
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: to it than they realized. Are we going to see

126
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: a repeat of that? But on the other side, I.

127
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: Think it's possible, right, I mean, it feels like we're

128
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: a long way from neutral, but we don't know where

129
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 4: neutral is and we didn't expect five and a half

130
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: to be necessary and it was, which suggests that neutral

131
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: is higher.

132
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: Right.

133
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: The economy did not fall off the cliff when we

134
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: got to five and a half, and we're easing, not

135
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 4: because we are in danger, but because we don't want

136
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 4: to be, and that's why I'm so embolden with a

137
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: higher rate call for later. I don't think neutral is

138
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 4: going to be two point eight or three. I think

139
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 4: it could be three point five or four. And so yes,

140
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: Johnny ditch where we are right. I think it looks

141
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: like we're far from neutral, and we won't know until

142
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 4: it's a little bit too late. And the impact of

143
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: the eases won't be known until the middle.

144
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: Of next year.

145
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: So a lot to learn, a lot to get through,

146
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,119
Speaker 4: and I would be thinking not about what this easing

147
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: cycle looks like in the next couple of months.

148
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: I think it might be boring. It's what's on the

149
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: other side of that.

150
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: A great Brian is going to catch up. Thanks for

151
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,760

00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 6: given how negative the positioning has been in the sentiment.

160
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 5: But I think the issue with China is much bigger.

161
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 6: It's structural demographics, the property market, consumer sentiment, a host

162
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 6: of things, domestic consumption, which is you can't export your

163
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 6: way out forever, which is what they're trying even now.

164
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 5: I think that is the question.

165
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 6: So I think in the short term it's tough because

166
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 6: the questions of what is it a gun or is

167
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 6: it a bazooka or whatever? Right, so you fine, you

168
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 6: bring your bozuga and that what structurally over the longer term.

169
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: What changes?

170
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: How would you just write to move over the last week,

171
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: is that your shorts coming off new long scoing garn

172
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: a positioning squeeze that turns into a bit of a

173
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: mount up and a short term what would you call this?

174
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 5: It's a combination.

175
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 6: It's a big relief as well, because so far the

176
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 6: concern has been that in the past, you know, they've

177
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 6: thrown in a huge amount of stimulus, they weren't doing

178
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 6: it this time, and so the concern was that they

179
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 6: don't care as much. But now the opinion is that

180
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 6: they do care, and now they're saying that this is

181
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 6: very important and they're won't to do something about it. Right,

182
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 6: So I think it's a combination of all those and

183
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 6: perhaps it has some staying power. But I take a

184
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 6: step back and say, just at the US economy. The

185
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 6: reason you're optimistic is structurally, the a lot of things

186
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 6: different in the US. It's not the same in China.

187
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 6: So when you put all those facts together, I think

188
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 6: it's a wait and say.

189
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: So, you said that there are some structural things in

190
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: the US that are good, So you're bullish on the US.

191
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm still bullish on the US, though I'm a

192
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 6: little concerned in the pace at which we are going ahead.

193
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: I think it looks too fast, too soon.

194
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 6: But structurally, for example, you know, I mean, the US

195
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 6: remains at the forefront of the technology front unparalleled. We

196
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 6: you know, are still you know the world's biggest economy, right,

197
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 6: we are the world's biggest oil producer now, uh, and

198
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 6: we still are the center, are probably the leader of

199
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 6: the global financial architecture. And the dollar still remains a

200
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 6: reserve currency unlikely to change. So I think when you

201
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 6: start putting all that together, mainly, I would say in

202
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 6: tech because the secular shift in the market's rightnised around technology,

203
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 6: and the shift in technology, if you take a step back,

204
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 6: is not something which is new. It's been going on

205
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 6: for about three to four decades now, from the PC

206
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,239
Speaker 6: cycle to the internet to mobile devices.

207
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 5: We were in the middle of a cloud.

208
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 6: Transition and then they've got AI on top of that.

209
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 6: And at the center of it is the action is

210
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 6: coming from the US and the ecosystem we have in

211
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 6: the US, mainly around the Valley is unparalleled and cannot

212
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 6: be replicated just by infusing capital.

213
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: That's a great story. You expect losses by the year end.

214
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: How much short term do you expect this story to

215
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: have been overplayed? And basically, uh, everything is to really

216
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: face a whole lot of volatility based on potential growth, headwinds,

217
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: potential regulation, potential geopolitics.

218
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 5: The election absolutely raise a lot of right points.

219
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 6: And that's why if a C my base case price

220
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 6: target is fifty six hundred already about that, but we

221
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 6: do have an upside case of sixty one hundred and

222
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 6: in all fairness a downside case of close to five thousand.

223
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 5: So I think the way to.

224
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 6: Think about it is Bittech has corrected reasonably healthily multiples

225
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 6: which had gone to about thirty four times and now

226
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 6: back to what twenty nine times, so just about the

227
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 6: threshold where we feel comfortable. I think anything in the

228
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 6: mid twenties to twenty nine in the range is reasonable

229
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 6: because their growth is decelerating, so they are comping the

230
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 6: comp In other words, now they are looking at sixty

231
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 6: percent plus growth rate to sort of match against in

232
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 6: the coming quarters, and the expectation is that their growth

233
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 6: will decelebrate to around the twenty percent range, so pretty healthy.

234
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 6: You're paying a PEG ratio of one point three one

235
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 6: point four, which is quite full, but it's not broken.

236
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 6: But for the rest of SMP, the comps get easier,

237
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 6: so you had bad numbers. Now the streete expectation is

238
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 6: it goes up fifteen sixteen percent.

239
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 5: I am skeptical.

240
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be less than that, but

241
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 6: still they're Actually what's happened is the composition of growth

242
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 6: has changed, so Bittech still leading but moderating, reasonably priced,

243
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 6: and the rest of their SMP quite fully valued or

244
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 6: argue but growing at you know, expected to grow in

245
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 6: my view maybe around ten ish percent. Which is not

246
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 6: a bad combination. It leaves me to your question that

247
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 6: what about the levels right now? I think we probably

248
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 6: need to take a little bit of a breather. And

249
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 6: I don't know what the catalyst is going to be.

250
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 6: Maybe it's elections, maybe it's some geopolitical event.

251
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 5: But we haven't cared.

252
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 6: About geopolitics forever, so I'm not too sure why we'll

253
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 6: start caring now.

254
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 7: You have such a big gap when it comes to

255
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 7: the upside and the downside. Yeah, and you say, yeah,

256
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 7: you don't know the catalyst for what could be. Is

257
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 7: there a potential of what the catalyst though would be

258
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 7: to the upside if you're unclear about what it would be.

259
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 5: In terms of taking a breather.

260
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 6: Sure, I think the catalysts are very clear. You talked

261
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 6: about the jobs numbers just now. So the big shifting

262
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 6: sentiment over the last call it month or two months

263
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 6: has been this growth scare, right, and so based on

264
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 6: historical experiences, the market is very concerned and we are

265
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 6: that is the label market as robust as it seems,

266
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 6: you know, is it a fact that labor market can

267
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 6: discilerate very quickly?

268
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 5: We don't know. We don't think so.

269
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 6: But The point is, it is very clear that the

270
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 6: odds of even a shallow recession have increased over the

271
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 6: last two months.

272
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 5: They haven't decreased, right, So that is your case downside case.

273
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 6: If you start certainly seeing a detivation in the labor market,

274
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 6: which nobody is expecting, including us, but it is a

275
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 6: real possibility because the odds have increased, you could start

276
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 6: testing the downside. On the other hand, we are still

277
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 6: printing with robust numbers. You saw the Atlanta GDP number.

278
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 6: It came even stronger. Consumer sentiment marginally increasing.

279
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 5: So I think if growth.

280
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 6: Does accelerate and there's a reasonable likelihood even though that's

281
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 6: come down a little bit, there you have my upsideks

282
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 6: is sixty one hundred. So I think you know, it

283
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 6: all depends, and the derivative market is telling you that

284
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 6: the one thing they care about is a NF piece, right, So.

285
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 5: You know that's where the action is.

286
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: So good news is good news still? That doesn't change.

287
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 6: Yes, right now, the good news is good news. We've

288
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 6: shifted from that paradox of flipping it back. But I

289
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 6: think the question is good news is good news still?

290
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 6: Something breaks? Right, and so the disconnect right now is

291
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 6: between the raids market and the equity market.

292
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 5: Right, And what I would suggest is that the raid's

293
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 5: market has been all over the map for the last

294
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 5: two years.

295
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 6: We're expecting seven cuts, then zero, now you know, nine

296
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 6: cuts in a middle year, middle of next year. So

297
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 6: the equity market has been more right than wrong. Right,

298
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 6: And so that's an interesting situation we are in.

299
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 2: Right, you've thrown some shindy at your colleagues on the

300
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: other side of the room. So the pond mark has

301
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: been all over the place. Did you hear that? I

302
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 2: heard that.

303
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 5: I heard that.

304
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: So you know, basically is that your your accusation.

305
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 6: Well, my point is that everybody looks at the rates

306
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 6: market a big barometer.

307
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 5: Of what to extend.

308
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, so, which is true.

309
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 6: But the point is if you tried to follow that,

310
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 6: you're gone crazy because you will know what to do

311
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 6: a week from week.

312
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 5: Right, slipping all.

313
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: Right, hold on a second in fairness, not a defendant

314
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: pod market, but it's a defendant bond market.

315
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: Equities have had s and P five.

316
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: Hundred has had five straight months of gains. If we

317
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: close out the month of September with a gain, it

318
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: has come in tandem with to your yields having five

319
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: straight months of yields going down. You're saying that that

320
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: isn't directly correlated.

321
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 6: Well, what you really care about for equities is the

322
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 6: ten year rates, right, and if you look at ten

323
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 6: year rates wherever, they're moving around. But that is a

324
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 6: discount factor because we're a long duration asset, right, And

325
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 6: we were hovering around five percent a few months ago, right,

326
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 6: and then we went to three and a half percent.

327
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 6: Now you're again going back towards the four percent range.

328
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 6: So I'm not trying to sort of reduce the importance

329
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 6: of the rate. It is very, very important because it's

330
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 6: a discount age of factors in trying to bring back

331
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 6: his bond.

332
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Market colleagues carry on, Can I keep going at the

333
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: end of.

334
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 5: The day, you know it's been all over the map.

335
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: And let me tell you something.

336
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 6: So everybody, everybody in the macro market is concerned about deficits, right,

337
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 6: So you would expect that shows up in the term premium.

338
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 5: Where is it?

339
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: Some big egos on that side of the room, as

340
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: you know. Y, thank you Kiney Krishna. Print of Park

341
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: Please market's looking ahead to the week's biggest catalysts, including

342
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: today's remarks from Fed Schad Jay Powell ahead of September

343
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: payrolls on Friday at ECHA Bave of Bank of America

344
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: Securities expecting a print of one hundred and fifty thousand,

345
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: with unemployment holding steady at four point two percent. A

346
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: details with us in a studio here in New York.

347
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: A teacher, good mornits you, sir, good morning, Thanks for

348
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: having me, Thank you for being here. We've heard from

349
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: consumers they say jobs aren't as plentiful, they're getting harder

350
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: to get. Are we going to see that in jump

351
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: openings this week?

352
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 8: It's certainly a possibility.

353
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 9: So if you look at the Joel's report, this will

354
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 9: of course be for August rather than September. But if

355
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 9: you look at the recent Joel's stata, the job opening's

356
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 9: number has been dropping like a.

357
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,359
Speaker 8: Stone, and that's not sustainable.

358
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 9: At some point, that's not going to be benign, right,

359
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 9: It's going to start affecting the lave market. So that's

360
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 9: something we're watching quite carefully. The openings rate now looks

361
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 9: quite consistent with where it was before the pandemic, so

362
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 9: further sharp decreases and openings.

363
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 8: Will be a point of concern.

364
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: There's a missing feature in the parish narrative. It's layoffs.

365
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: What's happening with layoffs? Where aren't we?

366
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 9: Layoffs are still very low, and that's the reason that

367
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 9: we're holding on to our soft landing Outlook. If you

368
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 9: look at the layoff rate, that's been low. If you

369
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 9: look at jobless claims that's been low as well. And

370
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 9: even within the unemployment data, you can look at kind

371
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 9: of voluntary versus involuntary unemployment, where involuntary would be layoffs, right,

372
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 9: So that only accounts for a little more than.

373
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 8: Half of the increase in the uneployment rates.

374
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 9: So no matter how you slice it, layoffs have been low,

375
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 9: and that gives us more confidence about a soft landing.

376
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: Also, revisions, and this is sort of counterintuitive because some

377
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: people are saying the revisions to jobless claims and to

378
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: the job's figures have been downward and significantly so. But

379
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: the revisions to GDP and GDI were the opposite direction.

380
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: It suggested a bit more growth in the couple of

381
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: years in the direct aftermath of the pandemic. How much

382
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: are you looking at that and saying we did to

383
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: rethink the strength of the economy.

384
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 9: Oh, absolutely, those revisions were remarkable. So there was a

385
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 9: big gap between GDP and GDI going into the revisions,

386
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 9: with GDPI being significantly softer. So the bearish view on

387
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 9: that was that eventually GDP would get revised to GDI

388
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 9: because income is more easily measured or something like that.

389
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 9: But actually what happened was that GDP got revised up,

390
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 9: GDI got revised up even more, and it's now basically

391
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 9: cut up to GDP. So across the board, you look

392
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 9: at the components of income and compensation for example, got

393
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 9: revised up a lot. You look at the components of GDP,

394
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 9: consumer spending capex cut revised up. So these were very

395
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 9: positive revisions, and I think there's two potential implications, right

396
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 9: The first one is that productivity growth has really picked

397
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 9: up more than we expected. The other is, look, there's

398
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 9: this Eventually there's going to be a relationship between activity

399
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 9: and the labor market, and which way will it go.

400
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 8: We'll activity backstop the.

401
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 9: Label market, which is now looking like a bigger risk

402
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 9: given the revisions, or will activity collapse under the weight

403
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 9: of a softening label market, and now that's looking less likely.

404
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So this to me brings me to sort of

405
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: the paradox that we're dealing with right now in Marcus,

406
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: which is you've got two tail risks that are diametrically opposed.

407
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: Brian Weinstein earlier this morning really highlighted that, and he

408
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: said people are underestimating the growth in this economy, are

409
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: overestimating how low the neutral rate is.

410
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 5: It actually is going to be much.

411
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: Higher than the Fed says, and that really they don't

412
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: have as long of a way to get to neutral.

413
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: Do you agree based on some of these revisions in

414
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: the amount of momentum that there seemed to be in

415
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: the economy heading out of the pandemic.

416
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 9: So to the extent that productivity growth has really picked

417
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 9: up very mechanically, that does mean a high neutral rate.

418
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 9: I think eventually we'll know the neutral rate when we

419
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 9: get there.

420
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 8: So that's probably enough.

421
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 5: Come on, give us advanced notice.

422
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 9: It's probably higher than it was before the pandemic. Chepowell

423
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 9: said that as well. The question is is it high twos?

424
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 9: Before the pandemic it was low toos, right, so is

425
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 9: it high twos? Is it mid threes or is it

426
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 9: even closer to four percent? And I think all we

427
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 9: can honestly say about the neutral rate is that it's

428
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 9: somewhere between two and a half and four, and we'll

429
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 9: know when we get there.

430
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 7: Aditya qui ask what's potentially going to happen in the

431
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 7: next few hours, We know what's going to happen.

432
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 5: Where's going to be strikes at port? What could be

433
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: the impact on the economy.

434
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 9: So there's two things that we focus on when we

435
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 9: think about the impact of strikes on economic activity. The

436
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 9: first one is that the longer they last, the more

437
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 9: of a drag they are, but not in a linear sense,

438
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 9: but rather in a nonlinear sense at some point, because

439
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 9: then they start to affect supply chains, right, So one

440
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 9: or two week strike is pretty painless. Right. The other

441
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 9: thing is that, because GDP is a flow variable, whatever

442
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 9: impact they have usually gets paid back the following quarter

443
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 9: when the strikes end, so it'll be a temporary impact.

444
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 8: It'll show up.

445
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 9: It won't show up in because when you're striking you

446
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 9: can't apply for jobless claims, but it will show up

447
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 9: in employment.

448
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: So what's the.

449
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 7: Cutoff when it actually can become more damaging down the line.

450
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 9: It really depends on how many people are striking, how

451
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 9: broad the strikes are, So there's.

452
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 8: No fixed sort of cutoff, right.

453
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 9: But when we were thinking about the auto strikes last year,

454
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 9: for example, we were thinking, you know, once you go

455
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 9: beyond four to six weeks, it gets a lot more painful.

456
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 2: So how much do I need to strip out from

457
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: Friday's number? Do you need to strike adjust this number?

458
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 9: Not really no, because the survey period was the week

459
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 9: of September twelfth.

460
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 2: Do I need to cut off sixty because of revisions?

461
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 9: You need to account for the fact that Chair Powell

462
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 9: is cutting off something, right, He didn't say what, maybe

463
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 9: it's forty to sixty.

464
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 8: But this I thought was really interesting.

465
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 9: In his press conference, what he said was we are

466
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 9: mentally adjusting down the jobs data that we get, right. So,

467
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 9: there was a question about whether the downward revisions from

468
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 9: the QCW, which ended as of this March, would extend

469
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 9: to April and beyond, and he's saying that the Fed

470
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 9: is working on the assumptions that they will, which is

471
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 9: quite dubbish, right, because if you're trending around one hundred

472
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 9: and twenty one hundred and thirty, you could easily just

473
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 9: idiosyncratically get a soft number around sixty seventy eighty, and

474
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 9: then you know Powell's thinking of that as being very

475
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 9: close to zero. So that actually makes a pretty strong

476
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 9: case for another fifty from our perspective.

477
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: So just I'm going to take a line from market's

478
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: philosopher Jonathan Farrell, who is talking about.

479
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 8: The whiff of Goulesby.

480
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: If we hear the whiff of Goulesby at one fifty

481
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: five pm today from Jerome Powell, how much does that

482
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: risk a reacceleration in the market with a series of

483
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: fifty basis point rate cuts that reignite the growth.

484
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 8: Side of the equation, It's a risk.

485
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 9: The question is how many fifties can can Powell pull off? Right,

486
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 9: So if you look at the dot plot and you

487
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 9: take it at face value, which I would recommend you

488
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 9: don't do, but if you did, then you know it

489
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 9: would say that they're not going to do any more fifty.

490
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 8: Right. We think they'll do one more. But each one

491
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 8: that Powell pushes through, we now have a strong.

492
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 9: Sense that he's more dubbish than the rest of the committee.

493
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 9: It's going to be harder, They're going to face more

494
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 9: resistance because each one you do, you're telling the markets

495
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 9: that we're not going.

496
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 8: To stop, and you're getting closer to neutral, so maybe

497
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 8: you don't want to do too many.

498
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 9: So our base case is one more fifty and then

499
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 9: back to twenty fives. But honestly, everything's on the table

500
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 9: for this FED. You could get to twenty fives if

501
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 9: the job's data are good. You could get very very

502
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 9: fast cuts if the job's data deteriorate further.

503
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 2: What are you focused on this soufternoon? Just to final question,

504
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: what are you looking for from the FED Reserve chair?

505
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 9: I think he's going to be pretty noncommittal. There's two

506
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 9: more jobs reports before the next meeting. He really really

507
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 9: wants to keep his options open, so it's going to

508
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 9: be data dependence. You know, he'd probably used the word

509
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 9: recalibration again, which again for us, if you're recalibrating, why.

510
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 8: Only do that one extra twenty five basis point increment?

511
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 5: Right?

512
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 8: You want to do at least one more.

513
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 9: But he's probably going to talk about recalibration, and he's

514
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 9: going to mix this very optimistic message about the economy

515
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 9: with a more dubbish message around you know, we'll do

516
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 9: what it takes to to accommodate the liberal market.

517
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 2: Two pay Rose report, I think, one CPR report, and

518
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: a presidential election in between the next decision.

519
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be a really tricky You gotta

520
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: imagine that if he's laid a groundwork now for we're

521
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: gonna Dove, that will just, you know, take away a

522
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: lot of the uncertainty and the potential.

523
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: Actimmy actually spoke like that, we're going to dove a teacher.

524
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: It's going to see you a teacher rather thank from America.
