22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: That's a Bloomberg Business Flash. This is taking stock with

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: Bim Box and Kathleen Hayes on Bloomberg Radio. If central

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: banks want rates to rise, why do they keep buying

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: up all the debt? I mean, doesn't that just increase

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: the price, driving yields even lower. Let's find out. Maybe

27
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Tom Tucci, head of US Treasury Trading at CIBC World Markets,

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: has an answer. Tom Tucci, thanks for being with us.

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: So can you explain that? Does that make any sense? Well,

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the magnitude of what you're talking about

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: when you say the central banks are looking at the

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: raising interest rates. It's only here in the United States

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: that they're talking about that, and they're not talking about

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: that about raising them too dramatically. But having said that,

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if they want rates to actually increase, why

36
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: don't they just sell some of the treasuries that are

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: on the balance sheet of the US Federal Reserve because

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: that creates a complete dislocation of markets in general. The

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: Bank of Japan has been buying assets for over two

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: decades with none of those assets ever coming back into

41
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: the market. It will happen the same way in the

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: United States. These assets will never be sold back into

43
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: the market, So the Federal Reserve will orchestrator maintain the

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: structure of interest rates through the actual overnight rate itself.

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: All right, And of course we just spoke to Rob

46
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: Kaplan here on taking stock here in Jackson Hall, Wyoming

47
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: at the Big FED symposium today. Rob, of course President

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Dallas Fed and met it wasn't talking as much about

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: bond buying. My uh, Tombody did say, basically, as Steve

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: Matthews are Bloomberg News reporter here who helped cover the interview,

51
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: negative rates in the US. Forget about it that Rob

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Kaplan says will distort the banking stem. It just wouldn't

53
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: work here. Does that give you any comfort that at

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: least one beneficial saying even if we you know, even

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: if we don't have room to cut rates in a recession,

56
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: we're not going to go there, right I think happing

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that's happening right now is all the

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: central banks realized that these negative interest rates that we're

59
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: seeing out of the Bank of Japan and the CD

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: they're not working. The question is what is their alternative,

61
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: And to date they don't have a solution. They don't

62
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: have a transition mechanism or an alternative to move away

63
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: from that. And they're concerned about moving away from that

64
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: because what it will do to asset prices as a whole.

65
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: So they walk this fine line. The interest rate policy,

66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: the monetary policy that they've established creates this kind of

67
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: asset inflation that we've been experiencing now for years, and

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: by pulling away they would deflate that. And so it's

69
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: a very fine line that they're walking. They've painted themselves

70
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: in the picture. And I would imagine that the symposium

71
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: that we're having here at Jackson Hole, we're going to

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: talk about a lot of different al henatives. A lot

73
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: of different ideas are going to be thrown on the table.

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: Not that I think that they have one uh cemented,

75
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people have to rethink

76
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: of policy, structure, economy outlooks, inflation outlooks. All these things

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: have to change, and I think they're trying to adapt

78
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: to that. Well, if all these things have to change, tom,

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that going to create that very chaotic

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: and dislocated situation that you just described a moment ago.

81
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: I think it's how it's managed. If you think about it.

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: From the first part of our conversation, you talked about

83
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: raising interest rates. I don't think it's the FEDS intentions

84
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: the significantly raised interest rates. If you look at their

85
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: forward forecasts, which haven't been very correct, but their outlook

86
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: has been more consistent of late, they've reduced their expectations

87
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: for where they think the neutral terminal FED funds rate is,

88
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: so that's pretty well established. I think everybody agrees that

89
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: they don't expect rates to move up to what we've

90
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: seen historically in the past, where rates have had to

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: move significantly higher because we currently don't have an inflationary

92
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: type environment. So when we talk about why are they

93
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: raising rates, I personally don't think it has anything to

94
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: do with anything other than asset prices. We don't have

95
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: an inflationary picture. The economy as a whole, as far

96
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: as GDPs calculated, certainly isn't overheating. We do have a

97
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: stronger employment picture. But if you listen to a lot

98
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: of the FED members, including the Chairman themselves, they still

99
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: think there's some slack there, and I do believe that

100
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: the makeup of them of employment is different than what

101
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: it was even three or four years ago. So it's

102
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: how they communicate the message about what it is that

103
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: they're doing with interest rate policy and how they're going

104
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: to restructure that in order for the market to understand,

105
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: and we don't get that type of volatility or that

106
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: asset selling that might happen if we were going into

107
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: an extreme interest rate rising environment. Tom Today we had

108
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: Rob Kaplan say he's patient on raising rates. Oh, patient, patient, patients,

109
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Steve Matthews said, implicitly, he seems to be one who's

110
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: not necessary pushing for September at all, right for the

111
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: rate high we had Jacob Frankel, who is the former

112
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: head of the Bank of Israel and he's the chairman

113
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: of JP and work in Chase International. They've got a move,

114
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: he said, and he thinks they're helping to distort investment decision.

115
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: It may not be the inflation problem, it's getting back

116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: to a more normal kind of financial markets in relationship

117
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: with investing, which is so lacking in this country right now.

118
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: What do you expect you from Janet Yellen tomorrow? That's

119
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: the big speech tomorrow morning, right, and you know, I

120
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: think that what's happening here is you have seen several

121
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: of the FED members, particularly some of the ones that

122
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: you would consider in the inner circle. And what I

123
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: mean by that as Fisher and Dudley have come across

124
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: a little bit more hawkish in the last week, and

125
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I personally think it's a direct result of where the

126
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: stock market has been asset prices in general. Bill Dudley

127
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: even mentioned the fact that he was surprised at how

128
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: low the yield was on the turn your note, So

129
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: I think it's in response to that. The problem the

130
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: dislocation in the marketplaces right now are if you remember

131
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: two years ago when the Feds are to their tapering

132
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: and the potential for tightening, the markets swung and a

133
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: complete uh parish direction, and that we were expecting significantly

134
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: higher interest rates. Well we've spent two years trimming that down,

135
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: even the Fed, as I said earlier, trimming down their

136
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: forecast where they think that neutral funds rate is. And

137
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: what you have now is a situation where the Fed

138
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: loss their credibility. They've talked tough many times and never

139
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: followed through with any action. So I think Jenny Yellen

140
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: is going to help smooth out that credibility tomorrow. God

141
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: leave it there. With Tom Tucci from CNBC World Markets,
