1 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. Along 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa Abramowitz. Daily we bring you 3 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations. 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: To find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple podcast, SoundCloud, Bloomberg dot Com, 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: and of course, on the Bloomberg terminal. Jonathan Pinkel joins 6 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: us out chief US economist at UBS with a really 7 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: concise note on all of this. Jonathan, do you look 8 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: at this as gospel or do you believe it will 9 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: be amended in a second and third Look, well, I 10 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: so gospel is a little strong. Um. You know, these 11 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: numbers do revise. Um. I think the key takeaway though, is, 12 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: you know, I mean chere Powell tried to downplay this 13 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: a little bit yesterday in his you know, post meeting 14 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: press conference, but I mean, you know, going back to 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: what Mike said, I mean, and we've been pointing out, 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: I mean for Q two, you you know, the guts 17 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 1: of the report, you know, just just look weak. I mean, 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: real personal consumption expenditures rising one per cent um is soft. Um. 19 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: You know, coming into this year, we all thought the 20 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: abundant household savings, pent up demand hail winds would be 21 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: more of a support. Um and and and and to 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: your point earlier Tom with with you know, prices eroding 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: real incomes. Um, you know, the consumers just shaped up 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: much more sluggishly than expected. And I and that I 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: think is sort of the main takeaway from from the 26 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 1: Q two GDP report, Jonathan mrs DI Inflation all over, 27 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: Basically the idea that we're seeing inflation remaining high and 28 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: going higher, with that GDP price component coming in at 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: the hottest going back to one, at the same time 30 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: that you're getting what some would call a technical recession 31 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: of two straight quarters of negative growth. How much can 32 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: the Fed really back away from their rate hiking as 33 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: the market has been believing as what you're seeing in 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: that to year yield coming in at a time when 35 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: inflation is not stowing signs of coming down all that 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: quick play. Yeah, No, I think it's I think it's 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: very hard for the Fed to walk away. I mean, 38 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: I you know, yesterday was a really interesting meeting. You know, 39 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: cheer Powell came out swinging with tough talk against inflation 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: right off the top, and as prepared remarks left the 41 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: door open for another seventy five basis point rate hike, 42 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: But the broader message that seemed to get sent was 43 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: that they were transitioning to a slower pace of rate hikes, 44 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, which which is fair? And this goes back 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: and I caught the clip with Dennis Lockhart. They are 46 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: moving on to this second stage now that they've brought 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: policy to a kind of more neutral level, but inflation 48 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: just remains too hot for them to think you're gonna 49 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna stop. I mean, we're expecting a fifty basis 50 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: point rate hike at the September meeting and have been 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: for for some time. But you know, there's just there's 52 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: just too much inflation in the pipeline for them really 53 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: to relent yet. And Jonathan, with the greatest of respect 54 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: for economic historians, does it matter from your perspective whether 55 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: the nb UH caused this a recession or not. Shouldn't 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: market participants just be treading on the data in front 57 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: of us, And if it's waker, it's waker. Into lasist 58 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: point that with nine percent inflation, it's problematic, isn't it. Yeah, No, 59 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: I think that's right. I mean, the n b R 60 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: isn't isn't gospel either. But but the NBR does set 61 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: a threshold for sort of how broad the weaknesses. It 62 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: hasn't shown up in payroll employment yet. Um and also 63 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: a certain amount of the severity. I mean right now, 64 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, as much as consumer spending has been weak, 65 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: I mean it is positive. I mean, we're just chugging 66 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: along at at at pretty weak growth Q one, and 67 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: the report was held down by a lot of the 68 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: noisy components coming off the very strong Q four. So yeah, 69 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: I would downplay a little bit these sort of the 70 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: technical recession signal. But you know, going back to what 71 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: Mike said, I mean, the fact of the matter is, 72 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: and we've been sort of writing about this is the 73 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: problem with the Q two report. The Q two reports 74 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: weak for domestic demand. I mean, it's it's the US 75 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: stuff that looks weak in Q two, and that doesn't 76 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: really bode well looking ahead, Jonathan, do you see the 77 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: spreading to the labor market and how quickly? Because one 78 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: thing I think we'll hear from the administration later is 79 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: that the consumer is holding up. They'll say things like 80 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: the labor market is still strong. Do you see it 81 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: remain that way through the next quarter? Uh, we have. 82 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: We have a pretty meaningful slowdown in payroll employment. We 83 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: actually would make a case that it has been sort 84 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: of artificially supported somewhat um in recent months. You've seen 85 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: substantially more weakening and initial claims continuing claims the household 86 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: survey data, and given the severity of the slowdown and 87 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: aggregate demand, we would certainly expect the labor market to follow. 88 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: You know, we're looking for payrolls to UH at some 89 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: point in the third quarter, you know, run under two 90 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: hundred k a month as part of that slowing on 91 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: the way to further slowing in Q four. Do you 92 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: wish you hadn't adjusted your your forecast yesterday? Kevin that 93 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: it's pretty much money for the optics of getting these 94 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: inventory deflators correct and everything. We were pretty close and 95 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: getting the decline so and the and and and and 96 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: altogether the components were sort of structured the way we expected. 97 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: So I'm pretty happy because the original estimate was basically 98 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: on the money. Chung anyway, Jonathan is good to catch up, 99 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: Jonathan thing of that of ups. Francis Donald with US 100 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: now Global Chief Economist strategist manual life very good at 101 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: the workings of our g d P. What are we 102 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: not analyzing in today's g d P? First look, francis, 103 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: what's the big mystery? The big mystery is not today's 104 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: g d P at all. Today's GDP will tell us 105 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: what we already know, which is that this economy has 106 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: materially slowed down. We are not in the roaring twenties. 107 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: We are not in the reflation trade. And if you 108 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: told most people that last year, they would not have 109 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: believed you. The big mystery is what is the next 110 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: four to six quarters look like? And this is really 111 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: what concerns me. Is not recession or no recession this 112 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: year or even three, it's what do we do if 113 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: we're stuck in one percent growth for four to six quarters. 114 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: That's much harder to trade, much harder for central banks 115 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: to respond to. And francis, what's so important? I mean, 116 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,679 Speaker 1: I featured this earlier in Austin Fox of Bloomberg Opinion 117 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: has done great work on it. Powell really scirted yesterday 118 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: the housing plug in to j d P, which is, 119 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: if we get yields up, mortgages are slammed, house ownership 120 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: is slammed, and that means rent sustaining go higher. How 121 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: does that work into the g d P of the nation. Well, 122 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: comments like to say housing leads the market. Nail housing, 123 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the economy outlook pretty good. In fact, 124 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: one of my favorite charts is one that shows that 125 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: housing leads retail sales. So you know, really focusing on 126 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: the housing side of the story is going to be critical. 127 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: It is going to bring down inflation to a certain respect, 128 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: and it's also very very bad. Every data point we 129 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: have on housing is trending downwards. Frankly, Tom, Every data 130 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: point we have across the gamut of major primary data 131 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: points is pointing downwards. Right now, There's not a lot 132 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: of places you can look for for optimism unless you 133 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: do what Powell did yesterday, which is to call initial 134 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: jobless claims rise not real, or to question the validity 135 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: of the GDP number. Three weeks of it now and 136 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: we might have a fourth week if it lights to Francis. 137 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: Tell me why the market's been rallying then over the 138 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: last month, why credit spreads have been tightening, and what 139 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: you make if that using of financial conditions we've seen, 140 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: oh bear market rallies, they get bigger the deeper you 141 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: get into that bear market. I do not believe what 142 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: we saw yesterday from Chair Powell was a pivot, although 143 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: it certainly was the path towards the pivot, and markets 144 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: care about second derivatives. But what Chair Powell told us 145 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: is well, he's data dependent. Unfortunately. I don't think that 146 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: inflation number is gonna come down fast enough in the 147 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: next two to three months to take out too much 148 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: of the pricing for two. But what this market is 149 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: gonna do, in my opinion, is pricing more cuts for three. 150 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: And gosh, that makes the fens job harder. Just like 151 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: we saw yesterday. The weaker the outlook, the more we 152 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: see those financial conditions fall, the more offsets what the 153 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: Feds really trying to do, which is tightened. Look at 154 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: the break even yesterday, the rallying that shouldn't be happening. 155 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: When the Fed's tightening sending five bases points, they're probably 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: not happy. That's actually funny that you mentioned next. I 157 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: was just looking at the five year five year forward 158 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: break evens, and they've been steadily rising. The more people 159 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: believe in this FED pivot. So what do you expect 160 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: in terms of pushing back against this? How does the 161 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: FED react to a market that's not cooperating and getting 162 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: ahead of itself, well, I wouldn't be surprised. And in 163 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: the next few days, the next few weeks, we do 164 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: see beneficials who come out and really try to walk back. 165 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: Some of that speak to some of the hawkish risks 166 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: that exists in this market. And that's why I think 167 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: it's dangerous to make too big of a change in 168 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: your fedue afriter a single meeting. And as we've seen 169 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: this year, and a little bit of laughter, you could 170 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: have these big rallies on FED day that are then 171 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: reverse course the very next day. So fed Er Powell 172 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 1: told us they wanted to be nimble. I think now 173 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: is the time for economists and strategies to be nimble 174 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: as well. Some people who are watching the show Francs 175 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: are probably saying, oh my goodness, here she goes again 176 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: being bearish. Thomas saying, we're sick of talking about recession. 177 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: Company is adapt and we are hearing around the margin 178 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: signs that the rally that we've been seeing is a 179 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: signal that we've priced in so much bad news that 180 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: people are beginning to find value. What's your argument against that, Well, 181 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the she is you or me, 182 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: but Parish has been effectively the right way to do this. 183 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: And if you look at the economy, it is still 184 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: trending downwards. Historically, what we would see is that when 185 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: the economy is about two thirds of the way through 186 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: its downturn, you can start to look for opportunities. And 187 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: I will be the first to say that macro does 188 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: not rule all. There will be pockets of advantage here. 189 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: I think we should watch. I think the curb will 190 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: still flatten, but we will reach a point in the 191 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: next few months where you want that steep in our 192 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: back on and there are always bottom up trades to 193 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: be had. So the cool relation on macro, it does 194 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: change over time. It's not the be all end all, 195 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: but the macro does not look good. What it does 196 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: I'll be bullish again, francis. What do our listeners in 197 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: our viewers do is they jump from forward guidance and 198 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: the comedy that it was to actually just looking at 199 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: the data. How do you actually get through a week, 200 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: get through a month, get through a core or where 201 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: you are data dependent? The great question, Tom, because we 202 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: don't know exactly what data the FET is looking at. 203 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: And sure we asked him, and he said, well, we're 204 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: looking at inflation. We want to see compelling evidence. What's 205 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: compelling evidence probably a few months of month over month 206 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: improvements in inflation that is heading downwards. They're looking at 207 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: labor supply and demand, but not all data, apparently, because 208 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: there's plenty of data that says jobless claims and unemployment 209 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: is moving in the wrong direction. So we don't know 210 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: the Fed's reaction function as much today as we did 211 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: even forty hours ago. And that's going to make a 212 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: lot more market volatility, a lot more two sided conversations. 213 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: One of my fears is that we're gonna have a 214 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: lot of beneficials speaking to both sides of the argument. 215 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: So the clarity on what happens next has been reduced 216 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: very significantly. And if you're at home and you're thinking, 217 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: what do I look at, well, I'm in the same boat. 218 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: Francis can sense the frustration, so let's address it. What 219 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: do they need to do better? I'm not it's frustration 220 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: so much And how much harder are you making the 221 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: job of knowing what you're gonna do next? And the 222 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: fence job isn't to make my job easier. The fence 223 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: job is to contain inflation and and really improve the 224 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: employment outlook. But what would be helpful is if the 225 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: FED had more clarity on what elements of inflation they're 226 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: looking at now. Two meetings ago we heard from share 227 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: Powell that he was very focused on the headline inflation. 228 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: But yesterday and he said core is the best leading indicator. 229 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: So I'd love to hear more about what really are 230 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: you targeting because we know that, for example, inflation expectations 231 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: for consumers are driven much more by gasoline prices than 232 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: they are by FED policy. So which elements of this 233 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: are you really trying to control? And do you fundamentally 234 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: believe that it's your job only only your job to 235 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: contain inflation because inflation came from a lot of places. 236 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: It's going to take a lot of places to fix. 237 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: I'd love it if he could make count job Easia. 238 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: I'll say I've been incredibly frustrikes it by the last 239 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: few news conferences. Francis don'tald the of manual Life Investment Management. 240 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: This is important and what you need to know is 241 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: you need to hear the conversations while we're on commercial break. 242 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: John Farrell and Walter pisk of light. Jed on the 243 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: absolute tensions of the front line of Liverpool. This is 244 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: Sala and Monte Walter, Liverpool their front end. They're not 245 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: on the same page. I mean there's some real tension. 246 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: There is Apple on the same page or is it 247 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: a Salomon a metaphor? First of all, Tom for not 248 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: being on the same page. Liverpool almost pulled off four 249 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: trophies last year. Was it was tight at the end, 250 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: but that's and I guess Apple being on the same 251 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: page with earnings this quarter probably, but as you know, 252 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: with the kind of concern over inflation and the economy, 253 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of the focus is 254 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: gonna be on the elect for next quarter. I want 255 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: you to discuss the pricing power Apple has to manage 256 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: down the income statement. I never hear a discussion of 257 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: if they go margins are under threat at whatever line 258 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: on the income statement. Do they have pricing power? I 259 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: mean they have pricing power for the quality of the products. 260 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: But I mean Apple has been known to reduce the 261 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: price of their product in certain markets, and I think 262 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: there was some reports even last week in China Um 263 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: there was some reduction in the price of iPhones. Have 264 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: done this in other markets throughout the world. Why you 265 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: don't necessarily see it crush their margins as you've had 266 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: this mix shift over the years in terms of services, 267 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: which has been a higher margin business for them, so 268 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: they've been able to to generate a very strong margin. 269 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: Currencies are a hard thing to fight, though, right this 270 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: is a this is a global company, so I think 271 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, currencies are certainly something they're gonna They're gonna 272 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: have an impact also in terms of the guidance, and 273 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: they can't do much about that well to the top 274 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: tier iPhone though going on sale, that seems pretty read 275 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: to me. Are you saying that's not a big deal 276 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: as some people are making it. I think it's a 277 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: big deal because it's China, and China has been such 278 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: a big part of the growth gen you've seen in 279 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: other emerging markets in the past, which I think it 280 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: may be more understandable, but China has been able to 281 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: grow without seeing these types of price cuts. So I 282 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: think when we're all looking for kind of tea leaves 283 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: on what's the impact of economic weakness, you can't ignore 284 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: that as as one of those things to watch, and 285 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: maybe that's going to be indicative of how they look 286 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: for growth or what their outlook is for growth for 287 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: next quarter and the following quarter. So they're all these nodes, right. 288 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,119 Speaker 1: We've heard from Qualcom, We've heard from other chip providers 289 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: that there has been diminishing demand for smartphones for a 290 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: number of other personal computing devices. How much is baked 291 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: in in terms of disappointment versus the unknown unknown right 292 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: of an even bigger slowdown than expected. I think a 293 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: lot of that is baked in. But remember the iPhone 294 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: is of the revenue and even a greater percent of 295 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: the profit of the company. And you have to look 296 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: at what's going on in Telco Land right now, where 297 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: they had a surge of growth during the pandemic in 298 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: terms of number of customers signing up uh, and then 299 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: there was a lull. And if they want to fight 300 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: each other to grab customers, their willingness to subsidize I 301 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: think could increase or sustain. Like Verizon as an example, 302 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: which is struggling to try to generate any type of 303 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: subscriber growth, doesn't seem like they're going to give up 304 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: in trying to give you eight hundred dollars or nine 305 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: dollars to get a new iPhone, and I think that's 306 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: the data that we're seeing. So I think that's one 307 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: of the offsets to a weaker customer and their ability 308 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: to buy a very expensive iPhone is the willingness of 309 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: wireless operators around the world, but particularly in these markets 310 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: that are still huge for Apple and these you know, 311 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: these high high paying markets to subsidize that customer to 312 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: upgrade their phone. Which raises the question of how much 313 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: the behemoths have an advantage in this environment, how much 314 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: are used to seeing a distinguishing a factor of the 315 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: haves and the have nots within big tech as this 316 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: earning season grinds on. I mean, that's a great point 317 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, the people in society, they're 318 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: getting impacted. It's it's you know, those that are buying 319 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: iPhones might have a different impact than you know, some 320 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: of the off that you're seeing me getting announced by 321 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: some of these major companies. But again, like if you 322 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: have economic weakness globally and you're trying to sell a 323 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: twelve product, you can't just ignore that that's going to 324 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: have some impact. There. There will be some mitigating factors 325 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: like again an operator willing to pay you um to 326 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: to stay on their network or to switch over to 327 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: your network. But that's still a pretty big headwind depending 328 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: on how long this lasts. And we've got delayed bills 329 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: in the mix. Well to T Mobile talked about the 330 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: same thing as well, what do you make of that? 331 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: What's the connection there? I mean, first of all, I 332 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: think a T T was a couple of days, so 333 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: to me, that was more frankly an excuse because they 334 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: gave very bad free cash flow guidance earlier in the year. 335 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,119 Speaker 1: But you're right. G Mobile tried to spin this yesterday. 336 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is if you read through what 337 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: this CEO Mike Seaver said, they're buildings. The payments there 338 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: were also getting delayed. So yeah, I mean you're you're 339 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: seeing in Walmart, obviously you've seen evidence of, you know, 340 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: a weakening consumer um. Again, it's just if you're week 341 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: and someone's willing to pay for your phone, maybe you're 342 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: more willing to do it. The challenge here is what 343 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: the operators want to get out of this is if 344 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: they give you that free phone, they're not they're not, 345 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: you know, they're not. They're They're expecting something back and 346 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: they want you to upgrade to a higher end rape 347 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 1: plan and at some point the consumers not that they 348 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: recognize what's happening and say, look, I don't want to 349 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: pay an extra ten twenty bucks a month on my 350 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: rape plan. So even if you're gonna give me eight 351 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: dollars for her phone, it doesn't resonate. And I think 352 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: we saw that with with Veries in this quarter. They 353 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: were willing to pay customers, you know, for these phones, 354 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: and they still didn't get people switching to their network. 355 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: It's I don't understand why the company continues to do that, 356 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: but at the moment, this is why. This is what 357 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: these operators are saying, that they're willing to continue to 358 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: try and subsidize and keep these customers. Well, it's just awesome. 359 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: As always what as there of light shed This is 360 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: a lot of fun because she comes with bulletproof academics. 361 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: Berkeley was known for decades for chemistry, and part of that, 362 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: of course, is chemical engineering. She's a chemy out of Berkeley. 363 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: Gennine Way joins us right now with Barclayser, senior US 364 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: Oil and Gas Exploration and production analyst, Jenny, and I'm 365 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: gonna cut to the chase. The airlines needed one to 366 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: three crises before they got capital discipline, before they got 367 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: the religion of operations. How is oil doing in this 368 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: boom at capital discipline? Are they going to go off 369 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: to the New Siberia and wasted all the way? Oh? 370 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: Good morning, Thanks for having Barclay's I love it. Let's 371 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: just get right at it. Um. You know, I think 372 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: you're hitting at the crux of the issue. It's capital discipline. 373 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: Whether it's going to hold is the number one question 374 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: from investors. There's a ton of skepticism on that in 375 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: the bucket, and that's kept people away. We just checked 376 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: in with all of our companies ahead of the quarter, 377 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: and every single conversation the companies were still on the 378 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: right narrative, which was low growth, backstree cash flow. Okay, 379 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: well let's go, let's go right to the chase Juning. 380 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: Just because of time, Chevron has always been the wild card. 381 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: They're the Arco of the modern world, explained Chevron's capital discipline. 382 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: Who is keeping them in line? Investors are keeping Chevron 383 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: in line, just like how they're keeping every other company 384 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: in line. Energy was the worst performing sector for a 385 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: number of years. Then that's because they were destroying value. 386 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: No returns. Nothing was getting returned to shareholders that was 387 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: anything meaningful, and the shareholders are spoken. And what Chevron 388 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: did was a reducer capolics budget by five billion dollars 389 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: a year for the next five years, which is huge, 390 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: and they've embarked on a big buyback program. You know, 391 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: the buyback right now is five to ten billion, and 392 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: we think that they're going to raise the low end 393 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: of that. We're already at ten billion for the year 394 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: and we think our investors are also at ten billions. 395 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: So the market has really instilled capital discipline on the 396 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: whole sector. Janine earlier this morning, she'll posted a record 397 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: profit for the second straight quarter and they also accelerated 398 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: by backs. Tomorrow we get the likes of XA and 399 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: other oil majors that are reporting in the US. What's 400 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: the political risk as they start to report these blockbuster 401 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: bonanza earnings and the heels of oil prices that have 402 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: become a campaign speaking point. Right we have mid term 403 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: elections coming up in November. It's a huge focus. UM 404 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: oil companies are definitely in the crosshairs because of all 405 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: the profits that they're making. But let's just face it, 406 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, the companies are making a lot of money 407 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: because oil prices are up, but they didn't make a 408 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: lot of money for a lot of the other years. 409 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: So what they've been doing with the cash is they've 410 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: been enhancing the balance sheet and they're giving the money back. 411 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: So you know, we already saw that companies are delivering 412 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: on this show me the money mentality that investors have 413 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: right now. Um, we think that Exxon could potentially talk 414 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: about their thirty billion dollar buyback program. They just tripled 415 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: it last quarter, so it's unlikely that they increase it 416 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: this quarter, but we think that maybe there could be 417 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: some shifting our front end loading of that. We just 418 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: talked about Chevron how we think they're going to raise 419 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: the bottom end of their buy back guidance and so 420 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: that will vote very well. But you know, companies have 421 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: a couple of options. They can either reinvest in growth 422 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: with all that cash, and that's pretty much no not 423 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: right now. They can pay it out via dividend and 424 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: by backs, which we think they're doing, or they can 425 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: hold the cash. But that's exactly the point. It's a 426 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: no note right now to invest in more production at 427 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: a time when a lot of politicians are saying that's 428 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: exactly what's required of these companies. What is the risk? 429 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: How do you price out the chance of perhaps some 430 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: sort of excess tax put on these companies if they 431 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: don't invest in production or some other policy kind of 432 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: check to try to, if nothing else, be a talking 433 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: point heading into the mid terms. That that's a good point. 434 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: We think the political risk in the headlines is very high, 435 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: again because we have mid term elections, UM, but in 436 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: terms of anything actually getting through, we think the risk 437 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: is low. So we've seen a windfall tax in the UK. 438 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: We think that's highly unlikely in the US right now. 439 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: UM oil companies they need a more consistent, friendly fiscal 440 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: regime and a constant regulatory environment in order for them 441 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: to really commit to plans and to increase growth. And 442 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: they don't have certainty in what taxes are going to be, 443 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: permits are going to go through, if frackinge is going 444 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: to be allowed. Now, that's when they're not able to plan, 445 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: and then you won't see as much production growth and 446 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: policy continuity. It's a massive problem has been for a 447 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: while now.
