Unfortunately, we have 12 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: a deficit today in terms of the numbers. We have 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: some indicators if FED officials are uh, you know, to 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: be considered. We have Laurrett investor from Cleveland, and Jim 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: Bullard and uh we have Rob Kaplan all speaking today 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: he Dallas. You know we have the Fed minutes. You're 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: hiding a punchline. You're going down to Washington to be 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: hermetically sealed in a room to sparse the words. Some 19 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: several a few. Well, the hermetically sealed is not too bad. 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: It's being on funking Wagonal's porch is exactly the hard part. 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: Now there's an old what's gonna What are they gonna 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: say the minutes today? A wise one, Well, they're gonna 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: probably not say a whole lot that we don't already know. 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: But let's ask a wiser one. Let's do that. The 25 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: chief economist a big vein trading in town from this 26 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: is one of the largest commodities brokers in the world, 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: so it's a big deal. But Michael Drury is with this. 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: He's also the chairman of the Global Interdependent Center, about 29 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: which more in a little bit. But everybody talks about 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: the FED. But are we gonna learn anything today? And 31 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: how much on a day to day basis are you 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: really paying attention? So I think the main thing gonna 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: learn from the minutes is just how contentious this last 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: meeting was. We know there was one descent. The real 35 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: question is how close were they to two descents? Uh? 36 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: You know that both Bullet and Mester are speaking today. 37 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: They're both voters and both are increasingly leaning towards tightening. 38 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: It was interesting Rose and Ground spoke yesterday and indicated 39 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: that he thought that the market didn't have enough priced in. 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: That's one of the more devish voices. Yeah, but Jennet 41 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: Young came out and said low and slow, and everybody, 42 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: you know, kind of went back to sleep. Do any 43 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: of these people who are speaking today, with all due 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: respect to Loretta, Jim and Robert Uh, do they matter? Well? 45 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: I think they only matter in the sense that you're 46 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: trying to uh, you're trying to uh work with how 47 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: many descents you're likely to take. So I mean, if 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: if you got to where you're going to take more 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: than two, I think it would make a difference. And 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: that's why I think Rosing Grounds an interesting voice because 51 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: he two is a voter and a doubt. One of 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: the great things about your experience in economics, and one 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: of them, folks as being out of Georgia Tech, which 54 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: is his own twisted economics and years ago, is you 55 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: have the privilege of working with Ellen Sinai. I have 56 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: found that when Sinai talks, there's always one absolute distinction 57 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: of the moment that's original. What is your sign I 58 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: like distinction right now in our fed dialogue, what's the 59 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: thing that you're grasping onto. Well, you know, I'm focused 60 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: less on the FED. I think to me, the most 61 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: interesting thing out there is that the world is fixated 62 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: on the fact that we're in the seventh or eighth 63 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: year of an economic expansion, depending how you count I 64 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: countess is in the first year of a global expansion. 65 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: That the recession started in fourteen in China with the 66 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: corruption campaign. The policy response was last year negative interest 67 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: rates into valuations, and the growth is today as seen 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: in atto and housing, both in the United States and 69 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: in China. And that view gives you a much longer 70 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: cycle than seven years is going to end in eight 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: Why do you think that we've started an upturn when 72 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: there's so much gloom about the way things are going 73 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: and you have many UH central banks still cutting rates? Well, 74 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: and how is that different than the United States? And 75 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: two thou you know Europe in eleven twelve. I mean, 76 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: we're not in D shaped recoveries anymore. We're in L 77 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: shaped recovery. So even though we're in a recovery, I 78 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: expect the United States to grow to Europe to grow one. 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: And if Japan hits zero, I'd be happy. Within that 80 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: framed optimism. Will the further growth on a nominal basis 81 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: be growth of the real economy or will it just 82 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: be a little more inflationary impulse off the disinflation we've seen. Yeah, 83 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: I think very low nominal growth is here to stay 84 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: and you get grinding real growth. I'm not quite uh, 85 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: you know, stagnation, but not much more than that. Mike, 86 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: you gotta put a casket out back like I do. 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: We're never retired. What what? What about inflation? It's one 88 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: question you we could see addressed in the minist today, 89 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: whether the acceleration we have seen recently in inflation, whether 90 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: FED thinks it's going to continue much of what's happened 91 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: in terms of disinflation in this country related to commodities. 92 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: You're area, are we going to see inflation now? Well, 93 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: I think it's a very bimodel. I mean, we don't 94 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: see any inflation on the forefront in the commodities area. 95 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: In fact, you know, the new technology was called out 96 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: by the record high prices going into two thousand and eleven. 97 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: You know that technology is still working its way through industries, 98 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: and we think that you continue to see lower commodities 99 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: prices for a very long time. The inflation is on 100 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: the services side. You know where you're seeing it in 101 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: rents and you're seeing it in service costs. And does 102 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: that continue? Does it get to a point where the 103 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: fit is concerned anytime soon? I think concerned is a 104 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: relative term. I mean, for a lot of the more 105 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: hawkish people, as soon as we start bumping against two, 106 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: they're going to be concerned. I think there are very 107 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: few like Evans who are willing to put up with 108 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: two and a half or three because they're even handed. 109 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: Can I reb up the script here? And this is 110 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: Mike goes to your good work and talking to many 111 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: more presidents than I do. What is distinctive about Charles Evans? 112 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: I was asked that question, and I went into Carnegie, 113 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: Mellon and that a Holham and and all that. But 114 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: what is the distinctive feature of the Chicago president that 115 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: makes everybody lean forward? Ye? Well, I mean I think 116 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: you know his bulls eye view that you can be 117 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: even handed and you can accept higher inflation as well 118 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: as lower inflation. I think that's a distinctive view on 119 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: the FED right now. Not even the other dubs say 120 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: things like that. Now, why he gets so much attention 121 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: because he's an outlier. Well, he's uh suggesting that maybe 122 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: the Fed has to act more than the markets think. 123 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: So that is going to keep people. It's fascinating. I mean, I'm, 124 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: as you know, guilty of the parlor game as anybody else, 125 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: but the parlor game right now is really really interesting. 126 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: This afternoon, what time is it like, two pm? Minutes 127 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: two pm, Michael McKee will be in Washington to give 128 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: you perspective you can't get anywhere else on some several 129 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: and if you, Michael, the tenure yield one point seven five. 130 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: That's uh something that we've seen turn around the last 131 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: couple of days. We're starting to see a little bit 132 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: higher rates than maybe the markets have, beginning to pay 133 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of attention Charlie Evans and people of 134 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: his ilk. We're looking at future is a little bit 135 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: higher here on Bloomberg. Now, let's talk to Michael Barrn 136 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: get the latest world of national headlines. My Tom, Thank 137 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: you very much. That's as Senator Ted Cruz and Vermont 138 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: Senator Bernie Sanders delt set box to the front runners 139 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: after their wins yesterday in the Wisconsin primary. A former 140 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: spokesman for the Republican National Committee says Cruises win in 141 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: Wisconsin means the race will almost certainly go to the 142 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: July convention. With a no nominee apparent. The race will 143 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: head later this month to the delegate rich primaries in 144 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: New York, home to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. For 145 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats, two seven delegates are at stake in New York. 146 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 1: For the Republicans, ninety five are up programs. Meanwhile, Trump 147 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: will campaign tonight on Long Island. The US Labor Department 148 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: is unveiling new rules for brokers aimed at giving more 149 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: protection for Americans and their retirement accounts. The rules will 150 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: require the brokers who recommend investments for retirement savers meet 151 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: a stricter standard Labor Secretary every time. For Rest says 152 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: brokers must act as fiduciaries trustees legally obligated to put 153 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: their client's best interest above all. Today's rule ensures that 154 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: putting clients first is no longer a marketing slogan, it's 155 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: the law. The Rest called it a good day for 156 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: the middle class.

They got 162 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: they got played tonight, not even a day game at 163 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: the stadium. But yesterday was the fifth grade time the 164 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: Yankees lost their opener. Astros won five, have three. The 165 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: big play at eighth that in throwing their by losing 166 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: Fitzer Dellan Batanson's the Joe Girardi culture have been interference 167 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: on the runner who was clearly on the grass, not 168 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: on the base path, the rule reads and the umpire 169 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: judgment if it impedes with the first basement catching. My 170 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: argument is you have no lane to throw it, so 171 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: I guess Dellen's only option is the throat and hitting, 172 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: and I don't think that's what baseball wants, So to me, 173 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: it's something that probably needs to be looked at. I mean, 174 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: that's that's a big play. You know, it ends up 175 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: hurting us and then he gives up a couple more 176 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: runs from that on, But that's a big play because 177 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: that's the second out. Matt's off till Friday's home. What 178 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: do they want to nothing to Kansas City Neil Walker's 179 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: two run home or all they need Noah's synder guard 180 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: and three relievers team and on a three hit or 181 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: twelve strikeouts come back wins with the Rangers. I had 182 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: Islanders both head into the postseason. They'll play tomorrow at 183 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: the Garden. Last night, Rangers trailed Tampa Bay to nothing. 184 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: Derek step On scored twice and then Chris cried or 185 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: three to win. Keeps them two points ahead of the Islanders, 186 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: who cleansed their birth with a thrilling four or three 187 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: overtime win at Washington, who was up three once for 188 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: the best NHL team blew a leade lost at home, 189 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: and so did the best NBA team. Minnesota stunned Golden 190 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: State in overtime to nine. The Warriors their seventieth way 191 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: no upset in the n C Double A Women's Final, 192 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: Yukon eight two, Syracuse fifty one, gino Ori MS eleventh title, 193 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: one more than John Wood and Brianna Stewart, the first 194 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: player to win four championships.

That's a Bloomberg Business Flash, 233 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: Tom and Mike Karena. I thank you so much. It 234 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: is on Wall Street. The following is from Bloomberg View. 235 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: Opinions and commentary from Bloomberg columnists. I'm Paula Dwyer and 236 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: editor with Bloomberg View. Can good policy cure trumps um 237 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: and other words? When workers lose jobs because of free training? 238 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: Is there a better solution than xenophobia and rage? The 239 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: answer coming from the left and the right, is yes. 240 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: And it's called wage insurance. That's a catch all term 241 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: for when the government supplements the earnings of employees who 242 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: face long term wage reductions through no fault of their own. 243 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: One reason it's winning praise is that, unlike unemployment insurance 244 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: and other programs that help the jobless and encourages them 245 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 1: to take lower paying positions, President Obama sees it as 246 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: a way to address inequality. His latest budget would compensate 247 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: workers with at least three years experience and who lose 248 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: jobs for no fault of their own by taking a 249 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: lower paying job. He would give them half the shortfall, 250 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: up to ten thousand dollars over two years, the cost 251 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: less than five billion a year. Even some Republicans including 252 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: Senator Marco Rubio, liked the concept free trade and open 253 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: markets lead to economic growth, just not for everyone. The 254 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: government's role should be to help those who are hurt 255 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: in the process. I'm Paula Dwyer, an editor with Bloomberg View. 256 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: For more Bloomberg opinion and commentary, please go to Bloomberg 257 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: View dot com or view go on the Bloomberg terminal. 258 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: This has been Bloomberg View and Bloomberview commentaries can be 259 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: heard hourly weekdays. I'm Bloomberg Radio. Michael. Michael Jury is 260 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: the chief economist at McMain Investments in Memphis. He is 261 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: also the chairman of the Global Interdependent Center. I want 262 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: to go back to something you mentioned just briefly when 263 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: we were talking about inflation before the break, about technical 264 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: innovation in the commodities area, particularly for oil. I mean, uh, 265 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: one reason oil prices are so low as American frackers 266 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: have found a way to keep um improving their output 267 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: at lower and lower costs. UM. Does that suggest that 268 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: we see low oil prices on forever a relative terms? 269 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: So they really interesting? There thing there is that you know, 270 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: until recently you basically only fracked in the bocket and 271 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: it was so profitable that it didn't really spread beyond 272 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: that because you just went further and further away from 273 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: the center in the Bocket. It was only in the 274 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: last year and a half or so that you moved 275 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: to the Permian and the Eagle for it. So, you know, 276 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: we don't frack in Argentina, we don't freck in China, 277 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: we don't fracking in Russia or you know, anywhere in 278 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: the Middle East we're going to. So I think as 279 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: that technology spreads worldwide, you're gonna have a very difficult 280 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: time coming above a ceiling that currently is forty five, 281 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: and we'll continue to decline as the technology spreads. Well, 282 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: when the price is that low, can anybody make money doing? 283 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: In other words, I mean, what's the clearing price going 284 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: to be? Well, so the clearing price, we used to 285 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: say it was seventy two, and then you said it 286 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: was fifty six, and now people are saying it's in 287 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: the thirties, and they're saying the lifting costs, even for 288 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: for fracking might only be in the high teens. So 289 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: it just it keeps working its way down. Is that 290 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: because of technological progress Bloomberg Intelligence killer work, Vince Piazza 291 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: like remove the industry a year ago where he said, 292 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: look the all in blended lifting cost is twenty nine 293 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: dollars barrel. Everybody thought he was nuts. I believe we 294 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: visited twenty nine barrel? Are we gonna visit? You know 295 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: the number Larry Cudler was talking about a million years ago. Well, 296 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: let's see. And I think we keep working our way 297 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: down because I mean, the costs of the oil field 298 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: workers is going down, the cost of the trucking is 299 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: going down. The ability to produce more from a single pad, 300 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: as can we get more out of the ground now 301 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: like factor that for us, Well, you get more out 302 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: from a single pad, which is the great advantage. You 303 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: used only drill one. Well now you drill eight and 304 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: you can draw them for four miles instead of two. 305 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: So I mean, it's it's just that's beautiful. But if 306 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: we start drilling, you have to realize, Mike and I 307 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: don't drive. We haven't been near oil. And Mike, when 308 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: did you last to an oil change the nash? The 309 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: nash rambler needs it a little more often. But if 310 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: we start drilling, if other countries start fracking, I mean, 311 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: do we think they actually will it's it's hard to 312 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: believe Europe, with its strict environmental views, would get into it. 313 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: But if the Chinese did, what does it mean for 314 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: what now? Is our our sort of dominant position in 315 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: setting prices. So early on the argument was that the 316 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: seismology was different and it would be hard to frack 317 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: in other places. But I mean, we've just seen from 318 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: the productivity boom in the United States that you just 319 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 1: learn as you go, and so I think it will spread. 320 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: Argentina is one of the more interesting markets for fracking, 321 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 1: and they need the money and it's kind of a 322 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: fresh start down there. So what does it mean for 323 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: what does this uh supply, additional supply and low prices 324 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: mean for the US and for the global economy? Well, 325 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in the world that I'm looking 326 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: at where it's two percent US, one percent Europe, then 327 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you don't need a whole lot 328 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: more royal every year. China's drawing, but it's not growing 329 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: like it did in the past, and so any incremental 330 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: increases in an output are going to keep a lot 331 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: of pressure on prices. Part of the only reason prices 332 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: aren't a lot lower now is because the expected increase 333 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: from Iran really hasn't come online nearly as quickly as earlier. 334 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: You know, the initial anticipation wise, what do you see 335 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: in the economy. We have a great advantage in speaking 336 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: to people that aren't within three zip codes of Manhattan, 337 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: and you're one of them. You're out there. What what 338 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: what do we get wrong in our big city synthesis 339 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: that you observe well, I guess to me, the biggest 340 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: thing I get when I come to New York is 341 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: the focus on the stock market, and that means on oil, 342 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: and that means I'm manufacturing because that's where the big 343 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: firms are as opposed to you know, what's going on 344 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: in smaller businesses and services and what's happening in the 345 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: non stock world, which is like in China and places 346 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: like that. I think that emphasis puts too much pressure 347 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 1: on the part of the world it's declining and misses 348 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: the parts of the world that are starting to pick up. 349 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: You do travel a lot as the chairman of the 350 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: g I c Uh, what are you learning from the 351 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: central bankers you talked to around the world. Uh, they're 352 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: equally confused everywhere in the world. I mean, negative interest 353 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: rates are a real problem. No one really knows how 354 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: to deal with them. There are things as simple as 355 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: accounting problems. I mean, the software doesn't allow you to 356 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: deal with negative interest rates in a lot of uh places. 357 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: But I think most recently, the fact that the Japanese 358 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: went to negative interest rates and the end strengthened and 359 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: the studying, what does it signal for you that you 360 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: end strengthening, you know? I think the dollar is dollar strength, 361 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: which led to bleeding out of US strength to the 362 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: rest of the world. I think that's ending. I think 363 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: the dollar will be basically flat this year, and by 364 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: the end of this year, the US will be a 365 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: little better. But I think the dollar, you know, tells 366 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: you that the US is still the lead engine. It's 367 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: not a great engine, but it's the lead engine in 368 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: the world economy. Well, should we be scared that central 369 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: bankers don't really have a clue at this point either? 370 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't think we Well, I think they should be 371 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: scared because they're central bankers. But I think it's just 372 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: more and more people realizing that we need monitor I mean, 373 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: fiscal policy, we need regulatory policy, We need structural change 374 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: rather than just another round of debt creation. I can 375 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: think of five people who don't think we need additional 376 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: fiscal policy right now. If we don't get it, what happens. Well, 377 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: so we may not get it in the United States. 378 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: But the main place that we're getting fiscal policy right 379 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: now is China, where they are on another round of 380 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: infrastructure building, another round of directed investment. Uh. That may 381 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: not be the long run solution, but it probably buys 382 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: you at least another twenty four months of growth. Who's 383 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: you buys the world or buys the Chinese, Well buys 384 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: the Chinese. And I think as long as Europe and 385 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: the US are growing, even if not spectacularly, then China 386 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: can be an additional engine of growth, or maybe a 387 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: caboost that's pushing from the back, a rear end locomotive. 388 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: Where are you off to next? You're always on the road. 389 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: I I will be in Beijing on Monday, in Hong 390 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: Kong on Friday, and uh and that sounds romantic all 391 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: get out. But when which hotel are you gonna stay 392 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: out in Beijing? I stay at the Hilton Loong Fushing. Okay, 393 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: the Hilton Long Fushing, which I sort of know, kind 394 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: of like the trip to the airport alone destroys any romance. 395 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: I would assume it's I'll check the air meters, but 396 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: it's the walk outside that's always exciting. Michael Jury from 397 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: mcvaane Investments, thanks for stopping by on your way around 398 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: the world and catching us up today.
