1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg surveillance. On average, seventy of the companies 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: will beat on their Wall Street guests. And that has 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: been the case now for going on twenty years. You 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: can still make a million bucks a year in investment banking. 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: You can't make five anymore. We're gonna see the combination 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: do you think happen over the next year or two. 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: One is wage growth will accelerating, the morog is. The 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: second thing is the job growth will Bloomberg surveillance. Your 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: link to the world of economics, finance and investment on 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio. Good morning, Michael McKey along with Tom Keene. 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: It is seven am on Wall Street. It is noon 12 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: in London where the Bank of England has just released 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: its latest monetary policy decision. John Tarrell calls them the vos, 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: and that's the case again today no change in policy. 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: The base rate stays at half a percent. Q E 16 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: purchases three and seventy five billion pounds. The minute show 17 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: the vote nine to nothing. We will have analysis ahead. 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: But the immediate market reaction is a boost to the 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: foot See it was down most of the morning, now 20 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: up two points about a percent, but gaming altitude the 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: pound one fifty one is lower but pairing its losses. 22 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: It is one pm in Paris, now home of the 23 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: International Energy Agency. The agency out with a report this 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: morning suggesting the global oil supply glut will be gone 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: by the second half of the year, and that has 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: changed the direction of oil prices this morning, which has 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: changed the direction of global equities. West Texas is at 28 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: eight right now, a tenth of eight percent. Brent crude 29 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: up two tenths of a percent. A big day in 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: Asian markets, with Hang Seng finishing up nine tenths and 31 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: the Nika in Tokyo up three on the day. Those 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: games didn't carry over to Europe, but the oil report 33 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: has slowly changed at the stock six hundred now up 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: by about a point a tenth of a percent, the 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: DAK in Germany up twelve points, also eight tenth of 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: eight percent. Here in the US, futures have paired losses. 37 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: The SNP emunies are down just a point right now 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: at tenth down emunies are flat on the day, nazac 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: emenies off three points a tenth of eight percent. They 40 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: have all flirted with gains on the morning, so we 41 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: will see where we open after the index is closed 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: at their highs for the year yesterday. The bondom market 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: is lower on the day, yields higher tenure at one 44 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: point seven nine percent, the five year at one point 45 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: to four seventy seven basis points your two year note yield. 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: The dollar index is at ninety four five, which is parent. 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: It's up a little bit, but it has paired its 48 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: gains on the debt joining us. Now, I'm gonna let 49 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: you bring him in because this is perhaps the most 50 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: Tom Keen guest we have ever had on the show. 51 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: And you can explain that it's a lot of fun. 52 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: And we were talking about Myron Scholes an hour ago. 53 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: And you think, folks, at the foundation of how we 54 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: think within our mathematics and what we do on global 55 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: at Wall Street, and one of the names. It always 56 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: rises to the top of any discussion, in the beginning 57 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: of any discussion. As Emmanuel Derman at Columbia University, he 58 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: corrected me earlier, I said, forty years plus Columbia, you 59 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: had a small interluded a bank. As I recall, I 60 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: had a large interlude. I got a PhD at Columbia 61 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: and theoretical physics, and then I worked to the physics 62 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: for seven years. Then I worked to Goldman for eighteen years, 63 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: and then I went back to Columbia to run a 64 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: financial What was it like your first aid Goldman? Did 65 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: Lloyd Blank find go get your coffee here? And Gary Cohen? Well, 66 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: that was in six I don't I don't know if 67 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: Lloyd was there, but but I worked with Fisher Black. 68 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: It was actually incredibly exciting. I've gotten kind of bored 69 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: with physics, and I got a real shot in the 70 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: m when I came to Goldman, because people are It's 71 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: like being a theoretical physics of experimentalists surrounding exactly like 72 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: what you're doing, and they want to interact with you. 73 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: It was very exciting. What is the biggest mistake market 74 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: participants make the applied people when they try to take 75 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: your theoretical world and apply it to the real world, 76 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: You fucking get a little high salutin. They place to 77 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: be idolater as they think that if you've written down 78 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: an equation, that it describes the market and the markets 79 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: getting to behave that way forever, and that somebody's created 80 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: an equation which describes the market, which is a kind 81 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: of idolatry. And and I think that's the biggest to 82 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: take it away from quad then Sir John Templeton made 83 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: very clear that any trend that is successful, people learn 84 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: from it, and the trend becomes less valuable, the model 85 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: becomes less valuable over time. Is your world the same, Yes, precisely, 86 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: I think, And there isn't any you know, the planets 87 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: are always gonna obey Newton's laws and go around the 88 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: go around the some the way they do. But that's 89 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: not gonna happen to suck markets. Okay, Well, then the 90 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: question of Mike, I want you to jump in here 91 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: with Mark Karney in the Bank of England out what 92 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the to Newtonian mechanics that cherry yelling, 93 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: Mr Drug, Mr Kurney you're dealing with. You know, it's 94 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: not Newtonian mechanics. These guys talk about it as though 95 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: it's Newton. It's not even Kepler. There aren't any There 96 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: aren't any firm laws in finance, um um. They like 97 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: to talk about their student in the Newtonian world before 98 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: quantum mechanics, but they're they're back in the world of 99 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: the Greeks. But it is somewhat kepler esque because the 100 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: market seemed to rotate around the central banks these days. Yes, 101 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: and they've got incredible amount of control. With great control, 102 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: with great power should come great responsibility. How do you 103 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: quantify central bank decisions in a world that central banks 104 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: have never been in? You know, I think they're they're 105 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: flying by the seat of their parts, and they they 106 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: radiate a lot more confidence than I think they probably 107 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: have internally. Well, what when you look at it, can 108 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: you reduce that to mathematics given the fact that they 109 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: are flying by the seat in their pants. No, I 110 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: don't think there's any there's any methem. I mean, I 111 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: understand financial a lot. I think economics and finance has 112 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: some fairy good models. Economics is um the amount of 113 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: mathematics we were talking about on the show, The amount 114 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: of mathematics that people use is grossly overaggerated in terms 115 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: of its result in Francine asked you that a horrendous question, 116 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: an employe question earlier. But friends, friends, you can almost 117 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: let me. I'm gonna give you a router one here 118 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: in a moment when where surveillance This morning with Emmanuel 119 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: Derman brought you by Investco explore what eye conviction investing 120 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: means to investcos value equity managers. Watch the conversation at 121 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: investco dot com slash interactive and that's a great dovetail 122 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: a fundamental value analysis with a little bit of matthewist 123 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Derman of Columbia University with us Mr Woodford holds 124 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: court in the economics department at Columbia from Princeton up 125 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: to up to Columbia. Richard Clarida, who's on our show often, 126 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: is one of the founders and in students and has 127 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: a great humility about dynamics, stochastic general equal. When you 128 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: see there the multidimensional optionality of that mathematics, how do you, 129 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: as a leading quad respond to the certitude those models 130 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: are supposed to give? Cher yelling, Yeah, I'm extremely skeptical. 131 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm on, I'm on, I'm on. Jim grand Side of 132 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: how DSD Dynamic said Glubrium models, um uh, you know, 133 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't believe them. I think they're much too complicated 134 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: and deep in mahad. I think that people at the 135 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: FIT are probably using them to justify things that they 136 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: decided for much more trivial and statistical reasons than those models. 137 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be fair in mine can say, the 138 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: Professor Clarida to a great degree tilts towards Professor Dermott, 139 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: even though he and Girdler and Gali did that research. 140 00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: There's a renewed humility about what value those basic models have. Well, 141 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: without any humility, Paul Krugman certainly attacked the models after 142 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: the after the financial crisis. Uh. One of the things 143 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: that even people at the FED, Bill Dudley has been 144 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: out front on this in saying, is that their models, 145 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: they have not successfully integrated financial markets into the D 146 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: s G. E. Markels markets and the feedback impacts we 147 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: get from financial markets. Yeah, I would say that's true. Um, 148 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: I don't think. To be honest, I'm really sechtical. I 149 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: don't think anybody will even do that. Human life and 150 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: human markets are so complicated. I don't think somebody's gonna 151 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: write down a successfully equation that describes them. I'm not 152 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: saying people shouldn't try, but you've got to. You've gotta 153 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: always be looking over your shoulder all the time when 154 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out what I'll appeal to to 155 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: your skepticism and also your math background. At the same 156 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: time when you're trying to figure out what's going to happen? 157 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: How far can you take mathematics? Is it worthwhile to 158 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: to to use it to try to prove an economic theory? Um? 159 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: I think mathematics is much more successful in finance than 160 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: in economics. So black Shouls is a really good theory. UM. 161 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: You don't use it to predict things, but you use 162 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: it to try to UM do a sort of rational interopolation. 163 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: You want to fagil want to pay for an out 164 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: of the money option, you use black shels given it 165 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: out the money option. I want to get this in. 166 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: I think this is so important. Tom Secunda helped Mike 167 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: Bloomberg found this beast. They did it on first order 168 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: difference equations. Black shows and others are continuous functions, which 169 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: we have found over the years are squishy and time 170 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: in determinate. We find value in t t plus one 171 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: T plus two. That's a foundation of Tom Secunda. Do 172 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: we need to go back to that certitude of t 173 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: t plus one T plus two versus pie in the 174 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: sky continuous functions? Well, I didn't see a big difference 175 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: on insty between continuous and t t plus one T 176 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: plus two. The versions of black shouls that worked like that. Look, 177 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: I think Black Shows is a real success. That's that's 178 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: the best theory in finance and economics. But the reason 179 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: is is that it gives you something to think about. 180 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: You can have intuition about volatility. You can't have intuition 181 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: about option prices. So if you want to figure out 182 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: what something's worth, you can say, I think volatilely is 183 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna double the volatility is gonna have And it lets 184 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: you translate your mental intuition about volatility into a dollar price. 185 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: And that's what most models are good for.
