Before that, 18 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: we have had comments from Eric Rosen, Grid, President of 19 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: the Boston Fed, who said a rate increase should remain 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: on the table. They should continue to move rates up 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: in a cautious, gradual manner. And at nine o'clock this morning, 22 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: Tom here on Bloomberg Surveillance, I will be speaking with 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: Atlanta Fed Bank President Dennis Lockhart, will get his views 24 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: on what the Fed is thinking. Ahead of that, we 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: bring in Bob eisen Pice. He's the former director of 26 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, now vice 27 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: chairman and chief monetary economist at Cumberland Advisors. Uh, Bob, 28 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: what do you think I should What's the most important 29 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: thing that I should ask Dennis Lockhart? Other than have 30 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: you got the five dollars I lent you about fifteen 31 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: years ago? Good morning, gentlemen, It's it's good to be here. 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: I believe the Dennists had sort of indicated two or 33 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: three weeks ago that he was probably on board for 34 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: a rating prease, So I think, obviously, Um, how much 35 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: of a derailing will this Friday's job number B on 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: his terms of thinking when it comes to his position 37 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: on the f o MC, how much do you think 38 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: it derails everybody? How much on the table can a 39 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: rate rise be Now, well, you know they have to 40 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: say it's on the table. But I think when you 41 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: consider that risk management plays a very important role in 42 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: their thinking, not wanting to actually make a mistake to 43 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: potentially derail the economy, this job's number is going to 44 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: give them a great deal of pause. And we know 45 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: there's a cadree of people who are very cautious. Uh. 46 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: And Yale Brainerd was was very upbeat about her outspoken 47 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: about what her own view was on that, and she's 48 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: one of the voting members. I think you have to 49 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: look at who's voting when you try to assess where 50 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: these people are going to come out. Uh. And I 51 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: just don't see them being able to move with that 52 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: kind of number. There is a Boubies and Bis and 53 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: you and I've talked about this before, an exceptionally historic 54 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: set of work done by your leadership at the Atlanta 55 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: FED years ago. Eisenbeis Wagon or John others about how 56 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: we guess the game, and the great Eisenbeis claim is 57 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: the result is there a reverse like Wobegon effect, the 58 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: idea that none of the forecasters, or for those cynical, 59 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: none of the guessers are better than the average guests, 60 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: does Cherry Yelling know what the average guess is right now? Well? 61 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: Sure they have readings on what these averages are, and 62 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: a lot of this is built on, you know, historic 63 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: research not only by other economists, but work that we did, 64 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: and we found that, Um, there's a lot of variation 65 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: in terms of what part of the cycle individual forecasters 66 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: tend to do better than others. And so it's not 67 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: only just the average that's that's important. But you really 68 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: need to know and I haven't seen a lot of 69 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: work this sort of dissecting who is the best at 70 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: turning points as opposed to predicting. Well, i'll go on 71 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: that bottom. But about what's so important here is if 72 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: we are data dependent and we're looking for actual progress, 73 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: we are slaves to the information flow. I get that, 74 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: But then the question is can the FED act on 75 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: that with confidence? Or are we gonna hear from Dennis 76 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: Locker today and from Janet Yelling another round of bucks. 77 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: I think I think you've got it. I think you're 78 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of ye by because when you 79 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: set yourself up to being data dependent, then that focuses 80 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: on every little piece of data that comes out and 81 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 1: Everything that puts you in one direction or in another 82 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: is going to raise questions about how much weight do 83 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: you give this? How much do we give to that? 84 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: And uh, when you're talking about judgment, we know what 85 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: weights econometric models give to these changes. We don't know 86 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: what weights individuals do in their own head, with their 87 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: own models in their head. And I want to make 88 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: clear that eisenbeis Wagoner was historic fourteen or fifteen years ago, 89 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: and it was done with a respect for every economist. 90 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't like sniping or snarky about the business. There 91 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: was a respect for how difficult this is. It's extraordinarily difficult, Uh, Bob, 92 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: how much uh does does the forecast? How much of 93 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: a world does the forecast play in what their next 94 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: decision is going to be, rather than the data that 95 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: they have, which is more backward looking. Well, I think 96 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: the forecasts really should play an important role in them 97 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: explaining and trying to communicate why they made the decision 98 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: that they did. And I think that's been sort of 99 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: a weakness that they haven't pushed on those forecasts as 100 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: much as they could and using that as a way 101 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: of explaining two people how things were affected and how 102 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: their views were affected in the context of the forecast 103 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: that they were putting forward.

Good morning, 135 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: Mike and Tom. Look on the bright side, if you're 136 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: a Mets fan, we've seen a good glimpse of the 137 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: old Matt Harvey. Now he allowed just one run in 138 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: seven solid innings, in Miami despite the one nothing loss, 139 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: still two starts. I mean, obviously the massive struggles that 140 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: happened before, and the only thing you want to think 141 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: of is is not letting that kind of creep back in, 142 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: And you know today was I guess you could say 143 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: a second step. Harvey's only problem though, is that the 144 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: Marlins Ace Jose Fernandez was just a little bit better, 145 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: struck out fourteen ments and seven innings to earn the win. 146 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: Matt's go to Pittsburgh to night Stephen Matt's versus former 147 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: met Jonathan Nice Ments are in second two games behind.
