Got 174 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: to go back to January of pre COVID was after 175 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: the day Kobe Bryant passed away. Since then, nine straight 176 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: wins by Brooklyn, all but two were in single digits 177 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: at the Guard and Knicks finally beat the Nets one 178 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: oh six. Jalen Brunson again led the way forty points. 179 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: He shot fifteen of twenty one made six of nine 180 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: three pointers. Is Former Villanova teammate Josh Hart has already 181 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: making an impact with his new team. Second game as 182 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: a Nick, Hart off the inch for twenty seven point 183 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: Spencer Dinwood. He led Brooklyn with twenty eight. Both the 184 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: Knicks and Nets play tomorrow. It's the final games for 185 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: them before the all Star Break kind of amazing that 186 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: Brunson is as of now not slated to play in 187 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: the All Star Game, but Boston's Jalen Brown is currently 188 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: injured may need a replacement as pictures and catchers get 189 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: ready to report and spring training the Mets tomorrow the Yankees. 190 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: On Thursday, MLB announced the ghost runner staying put. The 191 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: role was put in back in twenty The COVID season 192 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: has remained will now be permanent, although only in the 193 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: regular season extra innings starting with a runner as second base. 194 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: Andy Reid just won a second Super Bowl, was asked 195 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: about retirement. Look in the mirror and I'm old. Um My, 196 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: my heart though was young. I mean, I still enjoy 197 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing. I got askt fifty times here 198 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: and finally I just go whatever, man, you know whatever, 199 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: And that's a that's a good friends is a good friend. 200 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: So I mean, he's probably telling me to get my 201 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: tale out. I'm too old, but I'm good with what 202 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: I'm doing right now. Blazer had reported on Fox that 203 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Read would retire. Super Bowl ratings app the audience averaged 204 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: a hundred and thirteen million third most watch.

Nationwide on Sirius, xamp, 207 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is 208 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hagar on a morning 209 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: where investors maybe holding their breath just a bit while 210 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: we wait for the latest reading on inflation. The Consumer 211 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: Price Index for the month of January is due out 212 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: at eight thirty Wall Street time, just a little more 213 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: than three hours from now. Ahead of it, we're joined 214 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: right now by Michael Houston, the chief market analyst at 215 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: CMC Markets. Michael, it's always great to speak with you. 216 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: The consensus when you check the Eco go function on 217 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: the Bloomberg terminal, is calling for another drop in year 218 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: over year inflation, but pretty significant jump when you look 219 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: at the month to month number. What kind of market 220 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: reaction could we see if we hit that consensus this morning? 221 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: I think I think the consensus, Nathan, is pretty much 222 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: priced in. I think what's not priced in is the 223 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: mismatch that we've seen between bond markets, the dollar, and 224 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: stock markets since that payrolls report hit the tape. Cast 225 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: your mind back to the third of February, which is 226 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: obviously when we got that bumper payrolls number. UM two 227 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: year yields have gone from four point zero three percent 228 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: to four point five. The dollar's gone up. So it's 229 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: the NEZTAC and the SMP five, So you know, there 230 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: is a little bit of there's a little bit of 231 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: a divergence there. They both. They can't all be right. 232 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: Try and get my words out. They can't all be right. 233 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: So either the stock market is right and we're heading 234 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: for the soft landing, or the bond market is right 235 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: and the Fed is going to continue to hike by 236 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: much more than the stock markets are pricing in. I'm 237 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: of the opinion that the warm weather or the warmer 238 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: weather that we saw in January is likely to see 239 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: much more resilient and inflation data, much more resilient jobs data, 240 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: and later this week potentially much at more resilient retail 241 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: sales numbers. And that's slightly to mean that the federal 242 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: reserve is likely to hike by at least another fifty 243 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: basis points between now and the summer, and the market 244 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: is not pricing that interesting because we have heard from 245 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: a number of analysts that we could see at least 246 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: two hikes from this Federal reserve before things start to 247 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: pull back, either at the end of this year early next. 248 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: What has you thinking that that the market hasn't fully 249 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: gotten that message just yet, just just the behavior I 250 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: think of the SMP and the nastac um. You're looking 251 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: at a US two year old and four and up 252 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: between four and a half and four and three quarters percent, 253 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: and certainly I think there's potential for yields to go 254 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: up quite a bit. The FED funds rate it's already 255 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: pretty much where the two year yield rate is. So 256 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: if you're working on the basis of a terminal rate 257 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: of around about five point to five, and certainly an 258 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: awful lot of the narrative from a number of FED 259 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: speakers suggests that's the case, then why would you buy um? Uh? 260 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: You know, US US equities? They are already very fairly 261 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: highly valued, and the earnings numbers, profits growth isn't particularly 262 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: great relative to their valuations, So why are we heading 263 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: higher when it comes to US markets? It doesn't compute. 264 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: There's an awful lot going on at the moment in 265 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: these markets that suggest to me that there's a slight 266 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: disconnect and what stock investors are looking at and what 267 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: the bond markets are looking at. What's the possibility Michael, 268 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: that we could see a harder than expected inflation reading 269 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: And if we do, what could that mean from markets? 270 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: I think it's quite high. You're probably going to enend 271 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: up with a little bit of egg on my face. 272 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: But I think that certainly core prices and I think 273 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: it's core prices we need to be focused on yet, Nathan. 274 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: Core prices could come in maybe potentially between five point 275 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: six and five point seven. I don't think we're going 276 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: to get seen much significant softness there. Headline numbers completely 277 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: different story. But we're not looking at headline numbers anymore. 278 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: So we're looking potentially not point five, not point six 279 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: excluding food and energy, potentially an upward revision to December 280 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: and five point six five point seven on the annual basis, 281 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: And I think that could potentially send us higher and 282 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: knock the NASTAC and near some feedback down again. And 283 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: if we were to get that scenario, would that be 284 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: a blip? Do you think in what we're seeing in inflation? 285 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: What's the trajectory that we're looking at for inflation right now? 286 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: The trajectory is still for a slowdown in the pace 287 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: of inflation, but it's really about um the pace of 288 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: that trajectory. I don't think anyone disputes that inflation is 289 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: coming down. It's just that I think markets would like 290 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: to think that it will go it will come down 291 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: as quickly as it went up, and I'm of the 292 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: opinion that that is unlikely to happen. You've only got 293 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: to look at what wage growth has been doing, only 294 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: not only in the U S but here in the UK. 295 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean, average wage growth in the private sector here 296 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: in the UK is at seven point five percent. Oh yeah, 297 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: cp I is over ten. But that is going to 298 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: filter through going forward, and certainly I think as we 299 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: head into the summer, wage growth is going to remain 300 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: sticky and that is going to keep the FED, I 301 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: would suggest, quite hawkish over the course of the next 302 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: three to six mons.
