1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. On the latest edition

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: of the Bloomberg Surveillance podcast, Tina Fordham Fordham Global Insight,

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: single best idea on a Wednesday, a quiet summer Wednesday.

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: I looked at the news, I'll say, at one am,

5
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: and then you know, you try to wake up from

6
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: the surveillance night sleep, and the news flow was absolutely

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: extraordinary and it's really where our many news bureaus payoff.

8
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Ethan Browner let us off today from Tel Aviv was

9
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: just absolutely fabulous on what we saw in Beirut and

10
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: in Tehran and many many other stories, including the FED

11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: coverage today to go to. But all of it was

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: simply about a continued equity. Let I have no idea

13
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: where that's going. Buller beear Gina Martin Adams showed up.

14
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: She has been absolutely brilliant about a revenue slowdown, in

15
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: organic sales growth slow down. Not too optimistic it's coming back,

16
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: but huge margin strength seen by numerous corporations, and of

17
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: course we've seen that with Microsoft yesterday even though it's off,

18
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: and with Google. And we'll see what Meta and the

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: rest do here in the coming hours. Ben Snyder holds

20
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Court at Golden Sachs with David Costin. We asked him

21
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: about the persistency of the moats around AI.

22
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: It's important to remember before anyone was focused on the

23
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: AI investment boom of the last year and a half

24
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: or two years, these stocks have outperformed for most of

25
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: the last decade. And they've done so because they have

26
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: great business models. They have motes, they have above average

27
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: revenue growth, and they have profit margins that are two

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: or three times those of the rest of the S

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: and P five hundred, So that means a lot of

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: cash flow generation and they've successfully re invested that cash

31
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: flow to fuel successive growth.

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Ben Snyder had a seventy two page deck. Again, we

33
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: protect the copyright of all of our guests. Please go

34
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: to Golden Sachs to get the great work that they're

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: doing there on the equity markets. Great. At the end

36
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: of it, the Lincoln Costin's work with Ben Snyder and

37
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: of course with Abby Joseph Cohene who was recently with

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: us now at Columbia Business School. What else do we

39
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: do on single best idea today? We had like fourteen options.

40
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, maybe it's only nine options, but the answer

41
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: is we had to address our international relations and some

42
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: would say are fractured and certainly dynamic international relations. Paul

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: Senior was great. We were through all the different plots

44
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: that you can talk about, all the news and the zeitgeist,

45
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: and Paul Sweeny just said, simply to Tina Fordham, what

46
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: about Ukraine. Here's Tina Fordham Fordham Global insight on Ukraine

47
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,279
Speaker 1: into August of twenty twenty.

48
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: Four in zone summer. I think yesterday Russia launched its

49
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: sort of biggest drone attack on Ukraine for some months.

50
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: It's also the height of the summer fighting season, and

51
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: I'm arguing that the period between now and November and

52
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 3: maybe until Inauguration Day in January next year is going

53
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: to see an uptick in geopolitical risk. And that matters

54
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: for your listeners because they're all watching the FED. Conflicts

55
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: are inflationary and this is the time to you know,

56
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: to go for it.

57
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: And to that point, and I'll go back to I

58
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: think it was February twenty four, two years ago. Our

59
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: first interview on Ukraine was Davidlanda at Deutsche Bank and

60
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: the first thing out of doctor focarts Lando's mouth was

61
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: there will be a fiscal oomph, that the austerity of

62
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Europe will end and there will be the spending that

63
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Tina Fordham talks about there too years over two years

64
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: on as well. I want to talk about one concept here,

65
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: on single best idea that's important, and it's sort of

66
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: an ugly chart. Like if I say the yield, the

67
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: yield on the nominal visible tenuere yield, or even if

68
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: you adjust for inflation and you call it the real yield,

69
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: they're not really elegant, well contained charts. The real yield

70
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: is more elegant than the nominal yield. So if I

71
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: say the yield's in a range which I think we

72
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: all understand, and if the yield comes down to the

73
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: support of that range, will it break through? Something changed

74
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: today into this FED meeting. I have no idea what's

75
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: going to happen at the press conference, but a questionnaire

76
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: into August is do we finally see the yield on

77
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: the nominal ten year or the inflation adjusted ten year

78
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: break down into new disinflationtionary territory and that ambiguity over

79
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: why that's occurring, including slower US or global economic growth,

80
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: and of course that gets back to China. Just some

81
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: of the mysteries into August of two thousand and twenty four.

82
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: We're out on YouTube. Subscribe Bloomberg Podcasts. I can't say

83
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: enough about it. There's a New York Times article in

84
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: the last twelve hours on YouTube. Please read it. It's

85
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: extraordinary the impact, and we're seeing that every day here

86
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: at Bloomberg. On Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and of

87
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: course on Apple podcasts. Single best idea
