Where 31 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: a hundred beeves was a big story one full percentage 32 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: point between the ten year and two year yield, we 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: flattened out further day ninety six point six basis points 34 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: a difference in yield. That that's of note too many people. 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: Michael McKee um. This is a good economist who writes 36 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: with Peter Hooper over at Deutsche Bank, and he leads 37 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: with the mother of all optimism charts. It's it's the 38 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: foundation chart for why Torsten Slack or David Kelly or 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: Mark Dandy take an optimistic tack. Torsten is with us, 40 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: and he makes the very good point. And everybody is 41 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: concerned about the impact of the financial market volatility we 42 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: have seen because it may be causing problems in credit markets, 43 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: which will then slow the economy. Torsen was smart enough 44 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: to actually go look at credit markets, and you find 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: the prescription has not happened. Absolutely So if a look 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: at overall credit growth, the fascinating thing is that the 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: Fed actually has weekly data, and the weekly data comes 48 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: out every Friday at am, and I go and look 49 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: at my bloomber expreen and see what does the data 50 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: show this week? And when you did that last Friday, 51 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: you would see that there's just no evidence of credit tightening. 52 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: When it comes to bank lending. Bank lending is growing 53 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: across all types of loans or the owns, consumer loans, 54 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: more broadly, commercial industrial loans, mortgages, even commercial really state loans. 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: You're seeing just not much sign of a slowdown in 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: the actual lending data. There's a lot of other indicators 57 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: we worry about, but the actual data on a weekly 58 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: basis which we worked very carefully, is just not showing 59 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: a credit crunch up to this point. People are looking 60 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: at say, high yield spreads, when you become high yield 61 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: to the junks high yeld spreads and saying, you know 62 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: the world's gonna come to an end. Well, and that's true, 63 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: and certainly we are fully aware of that. But what 64 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: I think it's really important is to look at page 65 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: one in your finance textbook and ask the question, how 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: can companies raise money if they need money? And one 67 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: answer is they can go to high yield markets. They 68 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: can also go to I G markets. They can also 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: go to the local bank. They could also go to 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: venture capitals, they can go to private equity. They can 71 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: even go to other sources of financing that now are 72 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: becoming more popular crowdfunding and other areas. So this basically 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: asked the question and well, which of these different sources 74 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: of credit are actually not flowing? And it's pretty clear 75 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: that the high yield is not doing particularly well at 76 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: the moment. But remember that high yield death outstanding only 77 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: makes up around two percent of total death in the 78 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: U S economy, whereas the banking sake makes up at 79 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: very substantial share of all credit that's flowing. So that's 80 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: why I think we in financial markets we're looking at 81 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: high yields and so that not also at I G. 82 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: But remember I G Marius are definitely open still and 83 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: there's no reason to expect why they wouldn't continue to 84 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: be so. So that's why it's important to say, well, 85 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: what are actually the sources of financing that companies need 86 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: and are those sources of financing available in The answer is, 87 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: in my view every sounding yes, markets are still functioning, 88 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: in particular bank credit, which is by far the most important. 89 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: I look towards at the raging battle and nobody. Yeah, 90 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: I think there's very few people talking about true recession. 91 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: Eery is talking about good growth. What does service sector 92 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: inflation do? Is the vector up and more inflation or 93 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: is it flatter rolling over? It is indeed pointing up. 94 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: And what's really important about that is that often we 95 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: debate inflation from the global perspective of saying or China 96 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: maybe slowing, so this is going to create a disinflationary 97 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: impulse for the whole world, including the US. But remember 98 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: that when you look at the US CPI basket. In 99 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: other words, your and my consumption and all the listeners consumption, 100 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: two thirds of that is services, and what services means 101 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: is that that's housing, transportation, healthcare, recreation, education, etcetera. And 102 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: those services parts of the CPI basket are generally doing 103 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: what is very different from what the goods part of 104 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: your CPI basket and doing. I mean, we're seeing an 105 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: up taking inflation and most important, we seeing wagers go 106 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: up in the service sector. So that's why this notion 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: that China is having a negative impact on inflation is true. 108 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: That China and emerging markets have an impact on US 109 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: inflation through the one third of the CPI basket that's goods, 110 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: But for the two thirds, most importantly housing, which is 111 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: the thirties you are, it's difficult to imagine any strong 112 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: impact of China on that part of the inflation basket. 113 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: So the bottom line is, I still think the service 114 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: sector continues to do well in the US, and that's 115 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: why the set is obviously very alert to these up trends. 116 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: We have seen inflation more generally that are driven very 117 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: importantly by services. Services tend to pay less. So just 118 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: what does it take to offset the decline on the 119 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: manufacturing um production side? Yeah, so this is a really 120 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: important issue. Might is the way I think about that 121 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: is that for the last one one and a half 122 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: years that the US economy has been hit by two sharks, 123 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: namely all the prices down and the dollar up, and 124 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: those two sharks hit goods and energy much harder than 125 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: it hits services, if anything, and actually lower oil prices 126 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: health services. So that's why the big question that we 127 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: should be asking ourselves is how long time will it 128 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: take more before we have gone through the problems and 129 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: the energy six and in manufacturing In other words, how 130 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: long is the breaking distance that is left for the 131 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: energy sector, How long is the breaking distance that's left 132 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: for the manufacturing sector before we get out on the 133 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: other side. And therefore the direct on inflation and on 134 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: the broader economy from energy and manufacturing is going through subside. 135 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: And I would argue that we are getting closer to that, 136 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: and leader we've been through that now for the last nths. 137 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: Terson Slack with us with Deutsche Bank with an important 138 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: research note, where is the credit crunch?
