<v Speaker 1>Weakness Dolla, Lira, Wow, that's and that's happening. Can I

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>interrupt the very Haley Haley from Beverly Hills emails and

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>loved what we did in the Celtics. Wonderful, she says.

<v Speaker 1>More basketballball is what she says. So let's do a

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>review of the Los Angeles Lakers thirty five and forty

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>seven this year. And there is your further basketball What

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>is she doing? A I don't know. Hay from Rodeo

<v Speaker 1>driving Beverly Hills. Thank you, Hay, Well, thank you very much. Hailey.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm told we have to praise Guy Johnson. Now do

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>we have to do that on Bloomberg Radio? You know why?

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>You know why? It was a solid interview. It was

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a solid one question. It was like, have you got anymore? No,

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it's it was okay, it was good. I think let's

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>bring in Bloomberg's Guy Johnson Sauby, who we sat down

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>with the President of Turkey, Guy Johnson, welcome to the program,

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Good morning for us. Help me out then, what was

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>your sense from the Turkish president on the direction of

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>monetary policy and what he'd like to see. He came

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 1>here to London, he knew what he was doing. He

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>delivered a message. The message is clear. I am in charge.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not only in charge of the government. I'm in

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>charge of all aspects of the government. Everybody answers to me. Guy.

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was fabulous how singular the interview was

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>in our Benjamin Harvey, with years of experience in instable

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>felt the same way. We interviewed Mama sam Sek, the

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>financial guy for Mr Raawan in I MF meetings. Has

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>he even been part of the picture or is he

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>tangential to what Turkey is going to do with lear

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 1>AD four point four or five. He's currently sitting next

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>to President Urdawan. He sat next to him at the

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>lunch that I hosted with President Urdawan and he was

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>president during the interview off camera obviously, but he was there.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>So he is currently part of the team. After the elections.

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Who knows? And that's another fact that the financial markets

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>are watching. He is one of the few last roop.

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I think he's the only last remaining part

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>of the economic team that the markets have any faith in.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>The guy. For our listeners worldwide have been following this story.

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>It's a really odd situation in Turkey where they have

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>double digit inflation and the traditional response to that is

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>higher interest rates. But we have a president in Turkey

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>who wants to see lower interest rates. Guy, did you

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>get a sense from the president of whether he was

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>worried about what was happening in the FX market, worried

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>about what was happening in the bond market. He was,

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>He didn't show it, John, He honestly, he came here.

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>This is I He came to Bloomberg, he came to London,

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>this is like, these are two kind of bastions of

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the financial landscape. And and he walked in and he

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>delivered a message. He knew what he was doing. This

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>wasn't something that was delivered by accidents. This was this

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>was a message that was sent loud and clear to

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the financial community, to investors. I'm in charge. This is

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>how we're gonna run monetary policy, and I am going

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to be the one that ultimately decides which direction that

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>is going in. He's already indicated, he did so last weekend,

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that he thinks Ray should be going down, not up.

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>You have to assume that that is now the direction

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>of travel. He has a very different view of how

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>economics works. So, Guy, aside from the fact that he

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>has this really different view as to how economics work,

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>typically markets like independent, credible central banks. And the next

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>month there's an important election in Turkey. Talk to us

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>about what happens in the next month in terms of

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>electoral politics and how it may reshape the central bank. Well,

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>he's becoming he is, he is becoming um effectively, he's

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be in sole control. At the moment we

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>have a parliamentary system, we are going to go to

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>an executive presidential system. That is how it's going to work.

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>All power will be centered in him. He is going

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to change the constitution to allow himself control of almost all,

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>in fact, all of the levers of power in Turkey.

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>He everything will center on him. And as a result

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>of which, why should monetary policy be any different? Guy,

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>fantastic interview, Just a brilliant interview, and Guy Johnson Tom

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Kane even said it was solid, and I think that

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>hurt him a little bit. Taking the box that did

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that hurt a little bit to admit that it was solid. No,

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>it was great. It was you know. And I will

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>say this as well, it's very hard, much harder, I

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>should say, to do an interview where they're answering in

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>their own language. That really can with a translator, and

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 1>it really changes the dynamic from you know, like a

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 1>craft point, from a method standpoint, and it took the

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>story forward. I'll say, yeah, and I don't care. The

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>bottom light is the market doesn't give a damn what

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Guy Johnson thinks. Is guy going now so shreds? Okay?

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.239
<v Speaker 1>The bottom light is the market john Pharaoh. The market

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>is saying to Guy Johnson, you don't know what you're

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about. I think the market is saying that to

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the President of Turkey, let's bring in Phoenix. Kalin Shaw,

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Society General director of Emerging Market Strategy. Phenis great to

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>have you with us on the program. Your thoughts on

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>that Bloomberg exclusive, the interview with the Turkish president and

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 1>how it shapes your views on the Turkish currency. Now, yeah,

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just shocking the message that he actually

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>delivered to an international audience of all people, um, which

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>really undermined any credibility that investors still had in the

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Central Bank of Turkey and in what actions they're able

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to take to to stem the current currency routes. So

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, there's, um, there's there's a lack

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>of credibility on the part of policymakers to to try

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>to take the appropriate actions, and so we're likely to

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>head towards that currency crisis. Phoenix, if your morass setting

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Ki the governor of the Central Bank of Turkey, what

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>on earth do you do now? Well, I guess it's

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 1>it's difficult to understand the place that he's in, considering

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 1>the kind of political dress that he's under, and we

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>don't have, you know, a clear sense of what that is.

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>But if he, if he were able to to take

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 1>the full powers of his role, then it would be

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to necessarily calm down the markets via coming out and asserting, um,

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>the independence of the central bank and try to do

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>an emergency rate hike, which is what the market is

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>demanding in order to address the currency routes. Yeah, I look,

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Phoenix at Turkey, is it discreet to you, I mean

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you follow at full time for Sarjen. Is it a

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>screed event or does this have not kind of affects

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>other countries? Well, I think right now Turkey is kind

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>of an isolated situation because we do see some stress

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>on other emerging markets right now, but nowhere neither the

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>extent that Turkey is experiencing. And that's coming from the

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>combination of vulnerabilities that the Turkey has in terms of

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, exposure to UM, high oil imports with rising

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>oil prices right now, and high external financing needs UM.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's a confluence of all of those factories. Okay,

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you mentioned oil Brent crude seventy nine oh seven.

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Does Brent crude at seventy nine oh seven does that

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>fold right in to reduce GDP and Turkey are they

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>going into recession as we speak? Well, I think it

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>functions more into the trade channels of really impacting the

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>trade balance and then the current account deficits and and

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>exacerbating those external vulnerabilities and from there influencing the financing

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>channels and then onwards to GDP growth. So it's it's

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a few steps, but yes, that does ultimately curb down consumption. Um,

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>as we move into this this latter cycle, which I

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>suppose is what President Era to want is trying to

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>prevent by trying to over stimulate growth. Phoenix, Just before

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>we lose you, one final question. You did mention in

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>this conversation and risk of a currency crisis in Turkey?

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>What is the currency crisis in Turkey? And how how

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>close are we too? Want? There's no pressure on Phoenix.

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>We just want to know where the tipping point is it?

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Is it a five handle? Dora? I don't know, Phoenix,

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>what is it? Well? I just hope it's not a

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>six handle? Um, Phoenix, there's no pressure. You're the General

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Council of SOEN is not listening. Okay, what's the tip

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 1>point here? What's the tip point here in the crisis?

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I think I think this is it. This is you

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>know that US witnessing that the central bank has no

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>ability to step in and and do UM and take

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the appropriate actions, and with the political authorities coming down

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>on them, this is sort of the US sending into

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the crisis. Phois. Thank you so much. Fizz Kalin with

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>US General, let's get an economic night to Shally he's

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>been down. Two dice, hello, Jonathan. Retail sales and Manufacturing,

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the Commerce Department reporting retail sales rose point three percent

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.680
<v Speaker 1>in April, less than the prior month, which has actually

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 1>revised a bit higher, but inline with forecasts. Excluding autos,

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>we see a point three percent increase. The retail sales

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>control group, which you know, Tom Keen monitors closely up

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>point four percent, a bit lower than the prior month.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Manufacturing Federal Reserve, Bank of New York, Empire Manufacturing Index,

0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 1>Regional Index topping forecasts up to twenty point one. In

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the headline, retail sales up point three percent in April.

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm let's go back to New York. Little Saggyny, thank

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.679
<v Speaker 1>you so much, greatly appreciate that little saga report. En

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>moves weaker. Yen off that these are little little tweaks.

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to overplay that dollar stronger, uh En

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>moves weaker, but there's a lot of other noise out there.

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Ten yere yield importantly just now goes through three point

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>zero three to four digits three point zero three three

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>six on the tenure yield equity features to tier A

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>negative nine down futures negative one oh two. Um, it

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 1>is good to get an update from Francis Donald. She

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>is with Manual Life on the American economy on Canada

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>as well. We said good morning to all of you

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>across Canada. Uh, francis the character of the retail report

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Beneath it, there's a lot of data. When you dive

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>into the data today to write your manual life. Note,

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 1>what kind of data do you look at? The granular

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>UH pages and pages? Well, number one is that control

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>group number that comes through, because that's what the Bureau

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>of Economic Analysis is going to use to calculate the

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>GDP number. So we can breathe. A five release that

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>came in on expectations today and does suggest that Q

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>two is going to be the comeback kid that we

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>were hopeful it will be. Under the surface, we're looking

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>at things like gas sales important because those gas prices

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.199
<v Speaker 1>rising are eating into consumer pocketbooks. We're going to take

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a look at autos to make sure we're not seeing

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>too much of a deceleration there. And then my personal favorite,

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I always have an eye on those non store retailers.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Not because there's a day to day trade there or

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.319
<v Speaker 1>even quartered a quarter trade, but they've become so significant

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>that they are starting to move the economic picture in abroad.

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>So let's rephrase that to be clear. Amazon is in

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>this data this morning. They are so total retail sales

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>have been running about four or five percent year a year.

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Non store retailers overhead or double that, closer to ten

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>percent year every year. Online retail sales of grown from

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>about three percent of total retail sales in the up

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to eleven percent today, and they've captured about six of

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>all retail sales growth that the past two years. And

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>that's why we have to watch non store retailers because

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 1>they become part of the inflation data. That's the link

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>between the two. Do you, as a non sell side

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>retail internet E type as an economist, do you just

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 1>extrapolate Amazon's market share growth? Well, we pay attention to it,

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and the most important extrapolation is really what it means

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 1>for pricing power. What does this mean for companies and

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 1>their ability to lift the price of their goods and

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>services over time? And is this part of the disinflationary story.

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 1>When I look at retail sales data, and every time

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I see that non store retailers never come through, I

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>just think this is disinflation. I just want to get

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to the price section. Francis, what's happening in the market,

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.559
<v Speaker 1>A new year today high, a new one year high,

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>new multi year high on the US tenure year at

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>three point zero four percent. Don't a strength, renewed dollar

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>strength against everything in G ten and the bulk of

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>emerging markets as well. Francis, what do you make of

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>what we're seeing in the rates market as rates and

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the US dollar seemingly a recaupling over the last month. Yeah,

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>this is confirmation that the US just had a soggy

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>first quarter, that there's strength behind the US consumer moving forward.

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.680
<v Speaker 1>The US consumer has been the pillar of growth in

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>the United States, and we're hoping that we can withstand

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that pillar and then add to it with some additional

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>capex down the road. Now, higher oil prices has been

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a double edged sword here. In one sense, will worry

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that that's going to put some breaks on the U. S. Consumer.

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>This type of retail sales data here fairly strong suggest

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>that no, the U. S. Consumer can withstand higher gas prices,

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and then if we wait a little bit longer, we

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>should see those higher gas and oil prices filter through

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>to Capex as well. So this data here is a

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 1>really good confirmation and probably very supportive of the strong

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>US narratives. Francis, I'm just trying to understand that what

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>higher rates and a stronger US dollar means for the

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>U s A toonomy if this continues. Well, it's part

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of financial conditions weakening. It's part of why has the

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 1>ability to be a three percent year. But that's a

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit harder. All of a sudden, we have difficult

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.559
<v Speaker 1>year over year comparisons, we have higher rates, and all

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>things considered, higher rates are going to put down side

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>pressure and then ended to do so. And we have

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>financial conditions that are tightened, but we're still way below

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>historical norms. And with a consumer like this, I think

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they have the ability to withstand it, Francis. One final question,

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>When the Montreal Canadians are as bad as they were

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.239
<v Speaker 1>in hockey this year, do you end up in Montreal

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>just rooting for the Winnipeg Jets. Well, there are last hope,

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>especially now that the Raptors are out of the NBA

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 1>for this season. So yes, we've got to hang on

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>to even you that I'm not doing. I can't get there.

0:14:49.520 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. The Supreme Court opening the door to legal

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 1>sports betting around the country. It invalidated federal prohibitions against

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the wagering on a professional as well as I believe

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 1>amateur sports. Ryan A. Prit joins us now. Ryan, of

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>course is our expert for all things Bloomberg Tax, State

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and Local Tax reporter. Ryan, thanks very much for being

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>with us um tell us about this ruling and what

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>it's going to mean for state and local governments. Absolutely well.

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>First of all, thank you guys so much for having

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>me on. This is a great program. Love listening to

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 1>as much as I can. So yes, So, yesterday the

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court ruled in Murphy versus the n C double

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>A in favor of Murphy and really in favor of

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey. So what this ruling does is it doesn't

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't legalize sports betting across the board. It just

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 1>repeals the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of N two,

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>also known as Task. It repeals that in if we

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 1>give states the option to legalize sports betting if they

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>choose to so, New Jersey had already passed a law

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that was contingent on this ruling to set them up

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to enact sports betting. So how to other states Mississippi,

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 1>New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. So what this means

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>for those states is that they're going to try and

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>get the ball rolling as soon as they can. Talked

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>with a lawyer who's very familiar with this topic, and

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>he said that New Jerseys could be offering legal sports

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>bets by this weekend, definitely by the NBA finals. Um,

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>so there's a huge untapped revenue revenue field here. You have.

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>The American Gaming Association CEO on a call yesterday said

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>that he believes that there's a hundred fifty billion dollars

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 1>in this legal market that that they could try and

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>suck up. What does this mean to multiple decades of

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>young Pen Fox and young Tim Keen growing up knowing

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that if you bet on sports, you were maybe not

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 1>as bad as Pete Rose, but you were able an

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>evil person and probably go to hell. What what that

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that cultural, that behavioral thing that we all grew up.

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 1>You don't bet on sports because it's bad. What happened

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>yesterday to that? Oh man, Tom Boy, I'll tell you

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>yesterday that that basically went down the garbage suppose because

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you even have professional sports leagues trying to get some

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of this revenue. You have the NBA and the MLB

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>coming out outwardly supporting this. I mean, really is crazy.

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.640
<v Speaker 1>The actual MLB coming out and saying, we support legal

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>sports betting and we want to take in one percent

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.439
<v Speaker 1>of that. I mean, Wow, that was fear. They lost

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the fear of Raliota in Shoelace, Joe Jackson or whatever

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 1>it was. They've lost the fear of the Chicago Black

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 1>This is before your time, I remember, just slightly. But yeah,

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>say it is so yeah, I mean, and Ryan, what

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the n the n c A A uh, they still

0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>against sports betting because I mean, this does raise a

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of issues about the integrity of the game. It does.

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>It does, and you know that is one reason why

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.479
<v Speaker 1>the MLB and the NBA are trying to take one

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.360
<v Speaker 1>per cent there. One of their one of the reasonings

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.159
<v Speaker 1>to that is we're gonna be able to protect the

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.040
<v Speaker 1>integrity of the game if we are taking in a

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.119
<v Speaker 1>piece of the revenue. Um, I'm not sure if that

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 1>really makes sense, but but you do have a couple

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 1>of states supporting that. You have West Virginia and New

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>York supporting it. You also have Missouri supporting it. And

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>while while none of those states have actually enacted an

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:35.119
<v Speaker 1>integrity feet into their law, they are outwardly supporting it.

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 1>You have you also have the NHL come out yesterday

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>and say that we want our players, we want our

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.880
<v Speaker 1>individual players to benefit from this. If this is if

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.160
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be a thing, Well when you bet

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.680
<v Speaker 1>like this, pim quickly here you do a Red Sox hedge,

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 1>which is you bet that the Red Sox will lose.

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.640
<v Speaker 1>But you do that if you're a Red Sox fan

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.160
<v Speaker 1>about April one, and then you do a spread calendar

0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 1>bet against it going out to July four. Will you

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>read bet on July four that they're going to lose

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>somehow I imagine this is going to be the word. Well, Ryan,

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 1>so what's next? As you said, maybe we get we

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>get sports betting in New Jersey by this weekend. Yeah,

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 1>that's ping by this weekend, bye bye. Definitely by the

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 1>NBA finals, Definitely by the Stanley Cup finals. Um so yeah,

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.360
<v Speaker 1>have a believe of sports book built down there. UM.

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'm hearing that Mississippi will be the next couple

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>of months. The other states that have have been actually Pennsylvania,

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.640
<v Speaker 1>New York, West Virginia. UM. The people that I've talked

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.280

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 1>states by by the super Bowl, and um, and and

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:59.119
<v Speaker 1>next legislative session. Um, you could expect up to twenty states,

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe even more trying to propose legislation to legalize this.

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Ryan pretty thank you so much, greatly appreciate it. With

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>an update there well, well do more on this coming

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:23.440
<v Speaker 1>up here. Last night of Sotheby's, a big banner was

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.880
<v Speaker 1>put up by Brooke Lampley over the assembled looking at

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 1>wonderful fine art, which said make art great again. She

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>succeeded in doing this at Sothebys, where she is vice chairman.

0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:37.959
<v Speaker 1>She uh became smarter than most on art history at

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 1>a small school in New Haven and has moved on

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>to a truly distinguished career in art history and as

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>vice chairman again of Sotheby's. Brook Lampley, wonderful to have

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you with this, I guess at Sothebys you celebrate what

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 1>do you do after an auction last night including the

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Madigliani at a hundred and fifty plus a million? Do

0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>do you people break out, you know, the cold duck

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>or do you go expensive and try to have a

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 1>decent bottle of champagne? What do you do after an auction?

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 1>We pause for a bit of celebration before going back

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:11.919
<v Speaker 1>to the auctions again. Today we saw the day sales

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and then tomorrow night we will be continuing the Impressionists

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and Modern series with the collection of Morton and Barbara Mandel,

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:24.159
<v Speaker 1>which is opening the contemporary auction on Wednesday night. So

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 1>there's only a moment I was gonna let Pim jump in,

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>but that's right where I was going to go. How

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:35.920
<v Speaker 1>do Morton and Barbara Mandel? How do we become like them?

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:41.400
<v Speaker 1>How do you put together truly the world class art

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that they have that they collected over their lifetime. That's

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 1>such an excellent question because that's really what we're here

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 1>to help people do. Um and there are many art

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 1>advisors working in this space to really help guide clients

0:21:55.520 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 1>to assembling great collections that span various categories but has

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:05.880
<v Speaker 1>their own internal logical, aesthetic and dialogue. What was amazing

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.919
<v Speaker 1>about what the Mandela's did was that they were looking

0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:13.360
<v Speaker 1>at art across um, you know, an entire century. They

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>had a fabulous large quad Miro painting hanging next to

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a Donald Judd stack UM, and these works created a

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>fabulous synergy in their incredibly modern home. So UM, the

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 1>collector brings a lot of context um and vision to

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the art that they acquire and then how they present

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 1>it UM. That becomes part of the narrative of the

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 1>object um and part of the history that other people

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 1>then go on to acquire when they acquire that work.

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Brook Lampley, if I could just break in, I just

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.840
<v Speaker 1>want to focus for a second on the actual painting.

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 1>This Madigliani that went for a hundred and thirty nine million,

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that was the hammer price. With the premium and so on,

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that goes to a hundred and fifties seven million. Who

0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>bought it? I can't, unfortunately cannot disclose any details of

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the buyer um. They are anonymous, UM, but suffice to

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 1>say that they are someone who UM, we're very excited

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 1>uh to acquire an outstanding Madigliani nude from this series

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and felt very confident in the price, so much that

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 1>they committed to guarantee the work in advance of the sale.

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 1>So what does that mean when you say guarantee in

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in UH in advance of the sale that they already

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 1>agreed to pay a certain amount of money if the

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 1>this work was guaranteed to sell going into the sale. Um,

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>we had UH committed price that was going to be

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 1>achieved for the consigner UM on the evening of the event.

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 1>And UM it was already a fantastic result that the

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:55.880
<v Speaker 1>container was very excited about. And it's just a tremendous

0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 1>testament to the growth in this particular market. I mean

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to see that um sixfold appreciation since two thousand three.

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And who was the seller? Can you tell us that? No,

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.159
<v Speaker 1>we can't disclose any details of the seller either. Have

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you seen just the fun of information yet? He was

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, because Lisa smiling on my side of this,

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 1>because the last the record auction for Modigliani, right was

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 1>that was set in and that was for a painting

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>that I believe sold for about a hundred and seventy million,

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and that was purchased by the Chinese collector Lou Quan. Yes,

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and I was there at that time as well, And

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:43.159
<v Speaker 1>UM that was a fantastic result. And it's to me

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 1>very interesting to think given that they that is a

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:50.919
<v Speaker 1>private collector who is acquiring for their public institution, the

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Long Museum, UM, it would be an interesting exercise to

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 1>try and imagine what this work might have sold for

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 1>U if that buyer were still in the market and

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>hadn't already acquired a great example of a Medicaliani nude

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 1>for their museum. Brook you have advanced art like nobody.

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:11.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you get a lot of credit for you know,

0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>you had Johnny Depp's collection. Blah blah blah. What do

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:19.639
<v Speaker 1>you need to play? Of our listeners like like to

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>go into you and your good competitors, including Bottoms one

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 1>block over from US Park Avenue. What do you need

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:32.359
<v Speaker 1>to play the game to assemble modest or better than

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 1>modest collection over twenty or thirty years. I can't say

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that I believe there's truly any barrier to entry. You

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 1>need passion and love and excitement about what you're looking at.

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And so many of the best collections that we regard

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 1>now today, in hindsight, were formed by people just acquiring

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:56.720
<v Speaker 1>things that moved them, then they loved, and I think

0:25:56.800 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 1>people learn over time, and it shapes the collection that

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they form. Money helps, though, doesn't it? Money helps, doesn't it?

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:11.560
<v Speaker 1>But we sell works from every praise. I understand that.

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, I mean we're talking about you know,

0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Medigliani that goes for a hundred and you know, fifty

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:21.160
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. Picasso, right, I mean you're talking a hundred

0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and eighty million. Uh is there any limit? Do you believe?

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean we've seen that, uh, Leonardo right, the uh?

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it went for four hundred and fifty million dollars.

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Leonardo da Vinci, Salvatore Mundi that went for four hundred

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:40.719
<v Speaker 1>and fifty million dollars, Brooke, Brooke within this is the

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:43.720
<v Speaker 1>different auctions that Sothoby does. And maybe this is away

0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:45.919
<v Speaker 1>from your core competience, but I kind of think you

0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 1>can speak to it. How's photography doing? I mean there's

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>always been the critics, well you should pain or pot

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Photography will have its moment. It's it's vogue. You have

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:58.400
<v Speaker 1>in London, you have on May seventeenth, just two days

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:02.360
<v Speaker 1>from now, a photograph auction. Is there a spirit there

0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:05.359
<v Speaker 1>as well, like you saw last night in New York? Absolutely?

0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think the important point is that um as

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.440
<v Speaker 1>more people enter the market, as there's greater and greater

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:15.879
<v Speaker 1>knowledge and confidence in the art market, people are increasingly

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>apt to appreciate works for their quality and not um

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 1>segregate them in terms of medium or region. Um it's

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 1>you know it works on paper or on the rise.

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Photographs are definitely on the rise. You'll see an increasing

0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>number of photographs that are being offered in the contemporary

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 1>art sale as opposed to a photograph sale, because we're

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:47.919
<v Speaker 1>finding that those um, those small, those regional categories, for

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>example American paintings or Latin American painting specifically, which we

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 1>integrated into their Impressionists and modern sales this season for

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the first time, they're increasingly outmoded. People are just looking

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 1>for great works, and you mention in the tape modern

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 1>jump starting the Madigliani nudes and all that, or what

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the v n A did with medieval tapestry a year

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and a half ago, or what they just did the

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Child's the first exhibition in London. To museum exhibitions drive

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.639
<v Speaker 1>your world of collecting. There's a balance, but yes, I

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:22.720
<v Speaker 1>would say generally they do. They can increase momentum or

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>accelerate interest in a space where interest already exists a

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:33.359
<v Speaker 1>great example of that, in addition to the Madigliani retrospective

0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 1>would be the exhibition of Picasso's works from thirty two

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that is presently at the Tate Modern and previously was

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 1>in Paris. People were already seduced by Picasso paintings and

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:51.520
<v Speaker 1>re test and as great depictions of Dora have become

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:55.920
<v Speaker 1>increasingly scarce um people are turning to other lovers as

0:28:55.960 --> 0:29:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Marquis subjects. But certainly this exhibition helps to focus interest

0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 1>on that period and accelerate the prices. I mean, I mean,

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Brooke very quickly here, and I know your husband was

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 1>bidding on this. Sothobes in Europe had the Bulgari diamond

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 1>ring like four thousand carrots or something that when three times,

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 1>how's jewelry doing that? I mean, John Tucker, is that

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 1>your is that? We'll have to leave it there. Brook,
