<v Speaker 2>Blake joins us now for more Blake and morning, Good

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 2>to see you.

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Good to see you.

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 2>The last time the Fed made a decision, you made

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 2>a very important point that the outlook hadn't changed so much,

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 2>but the risks around the outlook have What are the

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 2>risks around the outlook now and have they developed since

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the Fed last.

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>May exactly the same as they were in September.

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, part of that is obviously because we're not

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 3>getting the official sector data. But even if you look

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 3>at what we have, we have received so the CPI

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 3>that they decided to release the private sector data, and

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 3>I would say also the Beige book that they had,

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, the Beage Book really kind of characterized things

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 3>as largely in the same place as they were in September.

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.279
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think the Fed's really gotten any information

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 3>that's really going to change our outlook. I would expect Pale,

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, any comments that he's going to make on

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.479
<v Speaker 3>the macro economic outlook you know this afternoon are probably

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 3>going to be largely what he made in September.

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 4>So it cuts twenty five. Can a guide to December?

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he does, And I think, if anything,

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 3>I think the markets are going to be much more

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 3>focused around some of the meta conversation about what are

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 3>they looking at. I mean, if this continues for another

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>two months, if this continues in the December meeting, I

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 3>think what I'm most interested in are any questions around

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 3>what data are you putting most.

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Important on one of the metrics?

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, We know their reaction function to some degree around

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 3>the official sector data, and we know how they're thinking about,

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, an unemployment rate or about PE levels, but

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 3>we don't really know how they're using the data that

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>they do have right now, And I think it'd be

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 3>interesting to hear how they're kind of thinking about things,

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 3>what metrics they're looking at, and what's going to make

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 3>that decision around December.

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, wasn't that a risk in itself?

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 5>The fact that they don't have data and we have

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 5>this data desert. How much can they lean on September

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 5>going forward if you're a data dependent.

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 1>FED Well, it does make things interesting.

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 3>And I'm a little bit torn about what the base

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 3>case into December is if we don't get data, because

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 3>on the one hand, you kind of have this do

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 3>no harm type of idea where I could see the

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 3>hawks on the committee saying, hey, look, we cut the

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 3>last two meetings. We did get inflation data, which shows

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 3>the services side of things a little more pressure than

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 3>we'd like to see. Maybe we should just play it

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 3>safe and not do anything. But you can also make

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 3>the case on the other side, which is that those

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>labor market risks are still apparent ADP is still showing

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 3>this low hiring, slow firing mode. So I'm not even

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 3>really sure what the base case is into December if

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.399
<v Speaker 3>we have no new government data coming out.

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 4>Is it possible the descent could come both ways? And

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 4>this may thing?

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely? I think that was true last meeting as well.

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 3>I was actually curious to see if we got two

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 3>descents at the last meeting, because I think you have

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 3>some members, like you know, Hammick Schmid who have come

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 3>out and now, you know, not everybody can descent, so

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 3>we're just talking about the voting members. Schmid could certainly descent,

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 3>and we have heard those members kind of take a

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 3>harder stance on the inflation side and said, you know,

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 3>unlike Waller and I would say, now pale at this point,

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>not so quick to kind of dismiss some of the.

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Inflation pressure we're seeing. They're not ready to write.

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 3>It off as only a tear iff problem, you know,

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 3>something that's going to dissipate as that one time price

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 3>shot kind of moves through the system.

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe that Hammock can descent next year, and the

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 2>mix next year maybe gets a little bit more interesting.

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk about that. We're going to get a

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>change of leadership in May. How easy is it just

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>to lead the committee and say, you know what we're

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>going to get in this direction given the mix we

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>might say in twenty six.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>It really depends on the personnel.

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 3>And I think this is you know, one conversation I've

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 3>had a lot with clients who have kind of said, well,

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 3>we're going to get a very dubvish FED share from

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Trump and they're going to come in and you know,

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>we're going to slash rates one hundred basis points to

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 3>do when they want FED shair.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's just not how things work. And I think.

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 3>We're you know, we're kind of a product of this

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 3>last forty years where we've had very strong FED shairs

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 3>who I think have a very good give and take

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 3>with the rest of the committee. They're respected by the committee,

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 3>They're taking information from the Committee incorporating that into their

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 3>own views, and so, yeah, the chair has spoken for

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 3>the direction of policy. If we get somebody who is

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>very outside of that consensus, who's to say the chair

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 3>isn't a descent at every meeting. I mean, it could

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 3>be very interesting. But what if we have mirror and

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 3>the new chair dissenting at every meeting.

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>For the record, I saw this in the UK more

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>than ten years ago. I remember when Governor King wont

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>another round of q E and kept dissenting and voting

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>for it. So we've seen that happen in the UK.

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 2>You suggested we might see a UK type scenario.

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>It's just not what we're used to.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 4>We used to the green spans of this world.

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think if we're thinking about how dubbish

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 3>the FED is next year, it's not just about how

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 3>dubvish the new chair is, it's also about how effective

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 3>they're going to be a delivering on that dubbishness.

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, who's the most dubbish center of this lift? Would

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 5>you say that's Kevin Hassett?

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I would say you'd look at somebody who is closer

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 3>to the administration, so HEYESI or a worsh you know, but.

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Somebody he's a hawk. He was, Let's be very clear,

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>he was not anymore.

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 3>So I think you'd look at somebody who was much

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 3>closer to the administration is probably arguing for the most cuts,

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 3>but also in the same you know, in the same respect,

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 3>also maybe not being able to sway the rest of

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 3>the committee, but.

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 5>It'll be transparent. If it is someone like Kevin Hassett,

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 5>it'll be transparent. It's not like author Burns and Nixon,

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 5>where the market didn't really understand how close that relationship is.

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 5>It'll be very transparent to the market that, Okay, this

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 5>policy could be heavily influenced by Trump himself.

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think it will be clear that that person

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 3>could be heavily influenced. But then that comes That's where

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the question of how much control over the rest of

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 3>the committee they have comes in, because that's where I

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 3>think somebody like a Waller who may not be as

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 3>close to the administration, who may kind of go off

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 3>on their own, and you know, he's leaving leaning dubbish now,

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 3>but maybe that framework changes. He's going to be much

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.679
<v Speaker 3>more effective and I think you know has that respect,

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 3>he has a very understandable framework for where that dubbishness

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 3>is coming from, and so may actually deliver more cuts

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 3>than somebody who you would expect to be a more

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 3>dubbish member.

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Going to see you.

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 2>So out of the three, then this week FED decision

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Trade talks earnings.

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:55.359
<v Speaker 4>Does earnings take number one spot?

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, the volatility Markets team to think soon if you

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 6>look at what's priced in in terms of moves per day,

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 6>it certainly seems like the earnings are what's going to

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 6>be a bigger driver. But certainly with the FLED, I

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 6>think we should pay particular attention to what happens with

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 6>the balance sheet. I do think that the twenty five

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 6>basis point rate cut is very well advertised and very

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 6>well priced, but it's really about if they do do

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 6>something with the balance sheet runoff and if that gets

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 6>announced today. Obviously we heard from chair Powell earlier in

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 6>the month which was about in the coming months, but

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 6>the market is expecting for some sound, some sort of

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 6>announcement today, so that would be important. And then of

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 6>course for the rest of the week it's earnings. And

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 6>then finally the New York Marathon, the New York Marathon.

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 4>For you do you want do you want to share it?

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Up front? How many marathons? If you wrote run many

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 4>in the numbers, many in the twenties. Now we're in

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 4>the twenties, okay. And what charity are supporting.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 6>It's called Shoe for Africa. It's a charity for children

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 6>in Kenya and it's building a hospital.

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 4>Very cool. So if anyone wants to donate, of course, reach.

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.679
<v Speaker 5>Out modest it's twenty six that is insane.

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Twenty six is absolutely unreal. We're going to talk about

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 2>that later. Let's focus on this if we can QT.

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 2>What are the implications of backing off from QT?

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely so a couple of things. First, recognizing if that

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 6>does happen, where does the where do the reinvestments go?

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 7>I think that's the main thing.

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 6>Does it get reinvestment reinvested back into bills only? Or

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 6>is it along all tenors off the curve? And obviously

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 6>if it is a long all tennors of the curve,

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 6>that's more demand coming in for treasuring markets. And I

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 6>do think if we look at what the long end,

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 6>the very long end thirty years or so have done

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 6>over the past month I think there is a little

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 6>bit of expectation of that coming back into the market.

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 6>So if we don't get anything at all, maybe at

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 6>least in the very long end of the curve, we

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 6>could get a little bit more of that steepening that

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 6>we began to see earlier this year and then it

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 6>sort of stopped for the moment. But at the same time,

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, we've talked about this for a while, this

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 6>is a really good opportunity in the markets to clip coupon,

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 6>especially if you're in that belly, maybe that three to

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 6>ten year part of the market that still remains. We're

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.199
<v Speaker 6>still in a path for the FED to cut now

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 6>and again in December, so very clearly that's going to

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 6>be another boost to equity as well as income markets.

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 5>The FED cutting in December. Are they basically accepting that

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 5>three percent is the new two percent?

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 6>I don't know that it's three percent per se. If

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 6>you think about especially with this last CPI print, what

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 6>we saw was that very sharp and clear deceleration in

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 6>oeer and where we saw the inflation was in much

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 6>more of the temporary area such as teriff related goods,

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 6>a parallel, et cetera. If we continue to see that

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 6>deceleration in OER in shelter. More broadly, I think you

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.439
<v Speaker 6>can reach a world by the end of twenty twenty

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 6>six when you're seeing sort of that two and a

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 6>half percent core CPI, and I think that is something

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 6>that the FED will accept and be able to at

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 6>least the FED, you know, the future FED probably will

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 6>be able to live with in a world where some

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 6>of the inflation that is coming through its probably more

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 6>transitory in nature. I think it's all about shelter, and

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 6>it's all about OAR, and we've seen some very good

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 6>numbers on that front.

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.439
<v Speaker 5>Just have the trade talks happening, the possible lowering rate

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 5>of the US tariff level on China.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Is that helpful for the Federal Reserve?

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.679
<v Speaker 6>I think it has to be. Again when we talk

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 6>about what is the transitory, temporary drivers of inflation, some

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.079
<v Speaker 6>of those, as we have seen in the core goods

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 6>data over the last three months, are very much related

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 6>to those tariff inputs. So to the extent we now

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.199
<v Speaker 6>can live in a world where that tariff rate is

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.439
<v Speaker 6>severely higher than last year, but not as high as

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 6>we had expected. It's not in the twenties, maybe in

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 6>the mid teens, and it's passing through slowly. I think

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 6>that's another important point. How much is the consumer bearing

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 6>and so far we've only we haven't seen as much

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 6>as perhaps feared in Q one and Q two. All

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 6>of those I think that that rate coming lower, maybe

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 6>settling in the mid teens, as well as the transmission

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 6>mechanism being lower than originally feared, are good for a

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 6>FED that wants to keep interest rates more moderate.

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 2>So that's the framework for thinking about this market. Let's

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 2>talk about this market how to express risks. So yesterday

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 2>was an odd session, three hundred and ninety eight decliners

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 2>on the S and P five hundred, only one hundred

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and four stocks advance.

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 4>This was very top heavy, led by tech.

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't ask me why it doesn't add up to five

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred on the S and P five hundred, Complain to

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 2>someone else. This came from Deutsche banker Jim Reid, and

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 2>he put up these numbers and said they're only one

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred and four advances on the S and P, the

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 2>fewest in over two weeks and actually the fewest on

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 2>an update as far back as my data on advances

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 2>and decliners goes, thanks to nineteen ninety what's the takeaway

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 2>from the last twenty four hours.

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 6>I think the takeaway maybe not just for the last

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 6>twenty four hours, I would say the last year is

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 6>that earnings growth is driving as in p performance, and

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 6>you want to be where the earnings growth is and

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 6>where is that earnings growth. It is in those hyperscalar names.

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 6>It is in AI and frankly it is broadening out

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 6>a little bit too broad, large gap, and I think

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 6>that's where you want to be. You know, could we

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 6>get a few negative surprises of the course of the

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 6>next three days and could that maybe bring a little

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 6>bit of volatility, some down days in the market. Absolutely,

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 6>But is there a structural story here, especially around AI monetization.

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 6>We think so. We've been talking about this from the

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 6>start of the year with respect to our positive view

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 6>around AI, and we think as long as we see

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 6>that demand as well as their monetization, as well as

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.559
<v Speaker 6>the user actually being able to benefit from AI, we

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 6>might see that in ad revenues and such. I think

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 6>this continues. I think it might broaden out to more

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 6>of the larger cap names instead of just the four

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 6>or five hyperscalers. I think that's something we're looking forward

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 6>to and telling investors to focus on. But the point

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 6>about yesterday and a very small percentage of the index

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.199
<v Speaker 6>being up is not a new story. It is a

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 6>feature of this market, not a bug. That is where

0:12:58.200 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 6>the earnings growth is.

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>So let's look at the black recommend you you're familiar

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 2>with it more than I am. Is this just a

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>vanilla sm P five hundred market camp whited index story?

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Express risk that way or is it more optimal waite

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 2>to express risk in the secuity market.

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 6>It can be depending on who the investor is. And

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 6>again some people just want you know, you're stepping into

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 6>the market for the first time and you want something

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 6>easy and IVV will do the job for you. What

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 6>we are telling investors though, this is the time to

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 6>focus on things like BAI, which is our actively managed

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 6>AI ETF, which again gives you some of those very

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 6>specific earning story in the AI space. We think you

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 6>should have that satellite allocation. The other thing that we're

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 6>talking about is if you're thinking about the broadening out

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.320
<v Speaker 6>theme with respect to large caps. Again, that is something

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 6>you can do again with a black Rock large gap

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 6>value or a black Rock large gap It's called blc

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 6>R fund, which is sort of the rest of the

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 6>market with a focus as well on a.

0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 7>Large cap deck.

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 6>And then I'd think for many investors out there right now,

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 6>especially you're getting that six six and a half seven

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 6>percent income, you no longer have to wait Toll You're

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 6>eighty five years old for fixed income. I own fixed income.

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 6>I hope you guys do again focusing on something like

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 6>bink earning that six percent coupon, it's a really great opportunity,

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 6>especially with the Fed boys, to cut more.

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Stay with us.

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 2>More Bloomberg surveillance coming up after this. So here's the

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>latest this morning in video, extending gains after President Trump

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 2>said he will discuss the chip makers Blackwell Ai processes

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>with the Chinese leader pre Fedogho of News Street Research,

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 2>keeping a buy rating on the stock with a price

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>target of two thirty five. Pierre, that quote from the

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 2>president overnight and welcome to the program. Let me read

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it out for you. It's very basic, very simple. It's

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 2>worth a few hundred billion, apparently to this market camp.

0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll be speaking about Blackwell's Pierre. How important is that

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 2>that we're opening the door to Infinia being app to

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 2>sell the high end ships into China?

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 8>Well, John's thinking about it in absolute terms, Nvidia historically

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 8>hard like twenty twenty five percent of their revenues coming

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 8>from China, so we are talking like a fifty.

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 9>Billion dollar annual revenue opportunity.

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 8>So yes, as you said, easily worth a few hundred

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 8>billion dollars.

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 9>Now, if you take a step back, the almost.

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 8>Like like the surprising perspective is that given the scale

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 8>of the success of Nvidia, it's actually a relatively small

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 8>moving part when you compare that to what Jansen said

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 8>yesterday in Washington. He said he was expecting like a

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 8>half a trillion dollars of cumulated revenue for the black

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 8>Well and Ravine product cycles this year and next year.

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 8>We are talking here numbers that are like fifty percent

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 8>above what consensus expectations are today. So it's a very

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 8>very nice comments from the President on the on the

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 8>diverse super chips is actually a small moving part this

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 8>morning compared to what Insten said yesterday yesterday, and then

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 8>said the market is still accelerating, which is very very impressive.

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 5>He also said that China has made it clear they

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 5>don't want Nvidia there right now, even though the President

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 5>has allowed some licensing for some chips. If China can

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 5>get their hands on blackwell, well they then want video

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 5>in their marketplace.

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 9>Yes, of course, what you're say in the market is that.

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 8>And you know, we could talk about China this morning,

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 8>we talk about Microsoft, Opena, about Amazon.

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 9>Nobody wants in VideA.

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 8>Everybody is worried about like the market power they have,

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 8>but nobody can afford not to use that VideA if

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 8>they can, because today being able to use in video

0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 8>chips gives you an this is youve advantage in terms

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 8>of time to markeage. You can get going immediately as

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 8>the highest visible performance. But everybody in the long term

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.400
<v Speaker 8>is working on you know, as donatives to in Vidia

0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 8>to keep in Vida's market bower in check. And so

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 8>you see opening I signing giant deals with AMD. You

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 8>see everybody doing being their own eysics and China is

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.119
<v Speaker 8>no different are donatives. But if to more they can

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 8>get a few blackwords, it would take them immediately.

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 2>And Video is clearly looking for an opportunity here pre

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and an opportunity that the President is offering them. But

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I just wondered to what extent China has been successful

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.719
<v Speaker 2>without access to the highest chips the high end chips. Pierre,

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 2>it feels like deep Sink was a moment that happened.

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 2>We wrestled with it and just moved on. But from

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 2>the people we speak to, Pierre, it looks like China

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.399
<v Speaker 2>has been hyper focused on efficiency and the US is

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.679
<v Speaker 2>going in a different direction. But if you look at

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the strategies of either the US and China at the moment,

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.960
<v Speaker 2>who's got the lead, even before discussing access to the

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 2>highest end in video chips, who's got the lead at

0:17:58.160 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the moment?

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 8>Well, the lead, it's a great question. The lead is

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.439
<v Speaker 8>definitely at the frontier. It's being first to market with

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 8>the most advanced models. And on that front, there is

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:12.359
<v Speaker 8>absolutely no question the US is in a very strong

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 8>leadership position. Then now if you look at so that's

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 8>like the technological leads. So the technological lead is very

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.880
<v Speaker 8>clearly in the US. Now you have the industrial lead,

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 8>you have like the efficiency lead. Players like Diepsick are

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 8>very are y are very good at making models more efficient,

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 8>at distilling models, and so they player a very significant role.

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.680
<v Speaker 9>But when it comes to getting.

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 8>Access to the largest clusters and running the most advanced models,

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.360
<v Speaker 8>all that is happening in the us for sure.

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 2>So clearly we're getting a move in the pre market

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 2>off the back of the story Stuck is up quite

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.640
<v Speaker 2>close to four percent. P I need to talk about

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the ANX with you as well. So tech stories of

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.679
<v Speaker 2>today is going to be Microsoft Meta and Alphabet tomorrow,

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Apple and Amazon pre looking across those names, any vulnerabilities

0:18:58.760 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 2>for you in the same.

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 8>So well, I think the street is still digesting what

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.119
<v Speaker 8>Jansen said yesterday in terms of like the twenty twenty

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 8>six outlook in terms of AI infrasta you're spending. So

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 8>really what we're going to look at is all comments

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 8>from a perscadoes do we see like a consummation of

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 8>ensense forecast in the ways they talk about their capex

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 8>and their spending spending plans, and then in terms of

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 8>vulnerable it is now very difficult to see that we

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 8>were definitely like in the bulwick where everything seems to

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.199
<v Speaker 8>be like accelerating, and even when you look at Apple,

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 8>who is not the best best position player in the

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 8>AI race, they have a lot of tailwind at the

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 8>moment the iPhone cycle is actually playing relatively well for them,

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.600
<v Speaker 8>which has generated some very positive vibes and should turn

0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 8>into a stronger inings report.

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>If I remember waiting for amples across that one, suly

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 2>intil a lane in the sand. Can we just reflect

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:04.400
<v Speaker 2>on your career per five trillion dollar market caps, Pierre,

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.399
<v Speaker 2>how do you sort of internalize that number?

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 4>Just how big that is?

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's like if you had asked me at the time,

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.440
<v Speaker 8>it's it's it's like unbelievable.

0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.360
<v Speaker 9>And and the thing is that.

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 8>It's part of a border of course, of a border

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 8>border phenomenon, and like the number of multitude dollar market

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:27.200
<v Speaker 8>gaps that we have now in technology, it's it's mind

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 8>blowing of growth and of like also concentration of economic

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 8>value in tech names.

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 9>It's like really mind blowing.

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.960
<v Speaker 8>And specifically on Apple, Apple like it's a very low growth,

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:45.119
<v Speaker 8>very like legacy type of franchise. Now in the AI world,

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 8>it's difficult for them to find the right grip on AI,

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 8>but it remains a very very high multiple expensive stock

0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 8>because the market is still valuing the quality of the franchise.

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 8>So so I didn't think one on.

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 9>Top of the other.

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 8>Yes, you like, I almost five durin the lod of

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 8>market just amazing.

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Stay with us.

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 2>More Bloomberg Surveillance coming up. After this, President Trump planning

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.959
<v Speaker 2>to lower tariffs on China over the fentinal crisis, as

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 2>China buys its first US soybeans in months ahead of

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow's face to face meeting with President she let's stick

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 2>with the US and China. Mary Lovely of the Peterson Institute, writing,

0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 2>systemic issues will not be addressed in this round. We're

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:37.160
<v Speaker 2>unlikely to see much progress. Mary joins us now for more. Mary,

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.480
<v Speaker 2>welcome to the program. Just first question, what do you

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>regard as a systemic issue with regards to the US

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 2>and China.

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:46.879
<v Speaker 10>Well, we see some of these systemic issues in trump

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 10>One treatment of US intellectual property, but there's a whole

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.440
<v Speaker 10>host of issues having to do with what the US

0:21:55.480 --> 0:22:02.480
<v Speaker 10>perceives as ex bands or barriers that prevent US exports

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:06.920
<v Speaker 10>into the country and contribute to the lopsided trade balance

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:12.120
<v Speaker 10>between the two. We have questions from businesses that American

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 10>businesses operating in China in terms of export bands and

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 10>other things that prevent them from having their own personnel

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 10>in place.

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 7>There's a whole variety.

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:26.119
<v Speaker 10>Of issues that have contributed this tension, including older issues

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 10>which you will remember from the first trade War, John,

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:35.120
<v Speaker 10>things like industrial subsidies China support for firms through their

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:39.800
<v Speaker 10>state banking system, other things that make Chinese exports uber

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:41.080
<v Speaker 10>competitive in the West.

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Mary the President.

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:44.879
<v Speaker 5>Tyling reporters that they're going to be speaking about Blackwell,

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 5>this is one of the most advanced AI chips the

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 5>United States has access to. Is the president if he

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 5>allows Beijing to buy these chips? Is the President rewarding

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 5>bad behavior?

0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 7>Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it.

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 10>I think there is a bigger issue, which is how

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:04.879
<v Speaker 10>do we protect US national security? And as you know,

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 10>there is some contention within the Trump administration as to

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 10>how best that can be done. There of course continue

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.879
<v Speaker 10>to be so called China hawks who want the US

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.120
<v Speaker 10>to do everything it can to prevent the most advanced

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:21.640
<v Speaker 10>technologies from falling into Chinese hands. There are others who

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 10>believe that, and this has been said by the President

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 10>that one of the things we might want we want

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:29.199
<v Speaker 10>to do is to get the Chinese addicted to US chips,

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 10>US tech. So I think that we're seeing some difference

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 10>in opinion. We always knew it was going to come

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 10>down to President Trump's decision. President Trump is a deal maker.

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 10>He would like to see an increase in US commerce

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:45.800
<v Speaker 10>US sales to China, and of course these ships are

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 10>a primary way that.

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 7>Can be done.

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 5>How much influence do you think someone like Jensen Wong

0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 5>has had on the president.

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 10>I think the tech community in general has had an

0:23:55.600 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 10>outsize influence on the president, not only lead through this,

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:04.400
<v Speaker 10>but in terms of his behavior toward crypto and crypto

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:09.359
<v Speaker 10>regulation and other issues. For example, and these trade deals

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 10>that he's signing with other countries. We're seeing a promise

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 10>by other countries that they won't levy digital service taxes

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 10>and other kinds of taxes that might impede US tech

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:21.880
<v Speaker 10>rollout to other countries. So in general, I think he's

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 10>been a very tech friendly president.

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:25.920
<v Speaker 5>We have the contours of some sort of agreement that

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 5>they're going to reach tomorrow.

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:29.119
<v Speaker 1>What comes next.

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 5>Where does this leave the relationship for twenty twenty six.

0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 7>Well, it reduces the tensions and potentially restores some market

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:38.440
<v Speaker 7>access to China.

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 10>For example, by rolling back those ventanyl taxes by ten

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 10>percentage points, China will get down closer to forty five

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 10>percent or even forty percent average teriffrey, which means that

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:55.360
<v Speaker 10>the pressure on Chinese companies to go out build their

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 10>factories and other countries will be lessened, So we're going

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:01.879
<v Speaker 10>to see a significant decrease in tensions. Then I think

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.440
<v Speaker 10>there's a hope on the US side that we can

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 10>turn to issues which have prevented US exporters from gaining

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:13.880
<v Speaker 10>more of the Chinese market. So I think probably or surely,

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 10>Secretary Investent Trade Representative Greer have a whole host of

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:21.400
<v Speaker 10>issues that they want to discuss with the Chinese, including,

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 10>as I mentioned before, industrial subsidies, subsidies that come through

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 10>the Chinese state banking system included.

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 5>Do you think China is willing and ready to make

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 5>those changes.

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 10>I think China is willing to make some changes, not

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 10>all that the US wants. China right now is of

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 10>course struggling a little bit to revive its local demand.

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 10>It does not want to be as dependent on exports.

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 10>Net exports from China group by thirty six percent in

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 10>the year to date. That means that a lot of

0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 10>Chinese growth is dependent on the rest of the world,

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 10>except they're exports, and for many countries that means accepting

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 10>that they'll be permanently in.

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 7>A trade deficit position.

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 10>So China knows that this reliance on net exports is

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 10>really not sustainable, and they're looking for alternatives to that.

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 7>So I think some of these changes are.

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 10>Within the realm of things that Chinese authorities want to do.

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 10>But when it comes to putting their development first, relying

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 10>on growth in their tech industry, the diffusion of AI

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 10>throughout their manufacturing, and continued emphasis on industrial development, those

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 10>are not going to.

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Change very You know about these issues far out of Deny,

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:41.160
<v Speaker 2>But this is a conversation that you and I could

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 2>have had ten years ago. And back then we were

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 2>talking about Chinese other capacity and people said the same thing,

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 2>that it wasn't sustainable.

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:48.399
<v Speaker 4>They needed to change.

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 2>They understand that, and here we are ten years later

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 2>and they're on course to run a record surplus this

0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 2>year even without stential trade with the United States. Mary,

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 2>in your mind, at the moment in the history that

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 2>you've following this, what makes this unsustainable? What would stop

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 2>them from doing what they've been doing for such a long.

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 7>Time, Well, they are really struggling.

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 10>Obviously, they need to buy more of the things they

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 10>make domestically.

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:15.640
<v Speaker 7>Yet Chinese domestic.

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 10>Demand has really been moribund. People don't have a good

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:22.360
<v Speaker 10>outlook for the future. Firms investment outside of the tech

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 10>sector has been lackluster as well, so they really need

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:29.719
<v Speaker 10>to revive their own economy if they're going to, you know,

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 10>continue to have moderate growth so about five percent, and

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 10>not sell all those products to the rest of the world.

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 10>I think not only the US trade barriers, but protection

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:46.439
<v Speaker 10>that's being imposed by other countries, including in more friendly

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 10>areas like the Southeast Asia, who are beginning to see

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:53.120
<v Speaker 10>a flood of Chinese imports that are hurting their own

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:57.920
<v Speaker 10>domestic producers. I think this response does have the attention

0:27:58.400 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 10>of the Chinese authorities. Question is just now, how can

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 10>they revive domestic demand. Just back from Shanghai, John and

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 10>I think that this was a major topic of discussion.

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 10>They're talking about new things. Obviously, investment in the real

0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 10>estate sector is out. They have a lot of infrastructure.

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 10>They don't need more bridges and roads. They're talking about

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:24.440
<v Speaker 10>things like social infrastructure, helping local governments to build things

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:28.919
<v Speaker 10>that will help people's lives, including restoring old buildings that

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 10>need refurbishing, things that will help with children and the elderly,

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 10>the healthcare sector.

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:37.280
<v Speaker 7>These are areas where they're starting to look and.

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 10>We hope we will see some action by the Chinese

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 10>authorities to do some kind of fiscal stimulus in this area.
