1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Surbiban's. I think one of the challenges 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: has been that the FED and other central banks want inflation, 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: but they don't want too much inflation. What's holding us 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: back at home is not what we're spending on national security. 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: It's what we're not doing domestically, the lack of a 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: creative the response two years and on a cup of 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: the low growth is the real story here.

I 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: just made a chart of yen reran Minby and we 21 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: can put this out on Bloomberg Radio Plus showing the 22 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: stark ran men By appreciation and how yen has given 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: it back then stronger. Interesting in the last number of 24 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: months different, the end has been getting stronger overnight. It 25 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: is now what one stronger one on nine one? The 26 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: Japanese postponing their sales tax increased to two thousand nineteen 27 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: and the markets reacting to that. Kachuks is a head 28 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: of US strategy for ASSOCIATEATIONERAL and he is on the 29 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: end Watch this morning. What do you make of this, kid? 30 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Is is minister are reaping the world wind here or 31 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: is it just a temporary kind of of reaction in 32 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: the markets. I think it's well, I think it's the 33 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: start of June reaction in terms of general wider risk aversion. 34 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that it's been harder and 35 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: harder for them to push through with this increase in 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: the consumption tax in the face of an economy that's 37 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: pretty much back in recession. Another awful manufacturing p M. 38 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: I over there before we get to anybody else's so um, 39 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't that surprised that that happened. The market reaction today, 40 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: it did smell of a reaction as muster that the 41 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: soggy numbers in China, that the sense the global manufacturings 42 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: under the cash and the number one safe saving currency 43 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: in the world is still bid Um And I don't 44 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to go much further than this, 45 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: but it tells you that people are a bit nervous 46 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: this morning. Well, if it's it's sort of like the 47 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: problem Jennet Yellen has. Coronason and Yelling have the same 48 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: issue of they don't have complete control over their currency 49 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: because at this point the rest of the world wants 50 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: to own it. Yeah, I mean yes, I mean you know, 51 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: Mr Corona, with Mr Rabbi's help, they managed a week 52 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: in the end and week in the end and week 53 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: in the end through and then when it was so 54 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: cheap it couldn't get any cheaper, when they cut rates 55 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: into negative territory, it started strengthening. Um. You know, I 56 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: draw parallels with that in terms of quantitative easing, driving 57 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, driving down bond deals or driving up 58 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: equity indices, driving p rati ratio is higher and higher. 59 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,279 Speaker 1: At some point you're pushing on a string and UM 60 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: and you start losing control of the situation. I think 61 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: that should worry chant. Are we in a range I 62 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: mean within all the nuances and the sophistication of your 63 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: society general report, Are we range bound or is there 64 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: something we're missing about a direction that we need to know? 65 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: I think at the moment we're range bound. I mean 66 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, the euro dollar, the biggest 67 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: profile currencies that I watch all day is definitely in arrange, 68 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: and that the and the FET is trying to keep 69 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: us in arrange by making sure there are no surprise 70 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: so you know, whether they raise interest rates or don't 71 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: interest raise interest rates on on the fifteenth of June. UM, 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: it's not going to be a surprise on the day. 73 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: They're working super hard to make sure of that, so 74 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: they're trying to avoid things going wrong. I still have 75 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: this fear that, you know, we're putting a lot of 76 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: liquidity into the system. We're working really hard to keep 77 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: volatility down in markets and to keep us in these 78 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: ranges UM, and that that just means that when we 79 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: break out, it's more likely to be more violent. Are 80 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: we going to break out? I mean historically when the 81 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: FED starts a tightening cycle and dollar sort of peaks, Yeah, 82 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: well you could break out, you know, in a bunch 83 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: of ways. It may be that when the Fed starts 84 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: moving rates, you know, that we we then extract relate 85 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: long way as we did in January, and then we 86 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: get a big risk averse move. It may be that 87 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: the markets react and the Fed has to deliver a 88 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: very dubbish ray rise and we get something else. But um, 89 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: I think we're still walking a very tight line between 90 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: markets getting frightened about a global economic slowdown and getting 91 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: frightened at the title would eventually raised most more. Are 92 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: there a lot of trades placed right now? The other 93 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: mystery that Mike and asking questions on is just the 94 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: visibility and exposure of people. Is everybody under the desk 95 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: selling you know, mayor I guess selling June and go away. 96 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: That doesn't work like that doesn't rhyme selling June and swoon. 97 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But is there is there a belief 98 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: in the market right now? No, I think there's a 99 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: there's a debate in the market. There's there's a lot 100 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: of uh, you know, I mean, for the leverage community 101 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: has one community at a very rough ride, so there 102 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: aren't a lot of speculative bets. Yeah, people are finding 103 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: it difficult. I still think that a lot of people 104 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: can't avoid having money put to work on in some 105 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: kind of yield when the nominal rights are just a 106 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: love well. But but I see that did they go 107 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: to a point and just looking at the Bloomberg screen, folks, 108 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: I mean it's amazing you look away for twenty minutes 109 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: the German tenure point one to four. The German two 110 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: year now begins a new grind lower and negative point 111 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: five two. Are German emils hinged to the Drugg meeting 112 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: or more importantly, are they hinged to the Yellow Meeting 113 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: of June fiftuh and then and then and they hinged 114 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: to boats? But I think, I think at the moment, 115 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what's changed in the last two 116 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: weeks is that the Yellow Meeting took control the markets, 117 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: but it only really controlled the short end of yield curves, 118 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: which the two year piece, not not the ten thirty 119 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: year piece. As the said repriced us and we we 120 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: didn't have too much for the the move. But I think 121 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: that's become the big focus that the ECB at the 122 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: moment is is doing nothing. Meanwhile, I mean I'll throw 123 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: it out that you know that an investor, when people 124 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: turn around and say, what a scary place, what a 125 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: scary place Brazil is, you know that inevitably you face 126 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: an investor who turns around and says, well, yeah, you know, Brazil's. 127 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: Brazil might be a scary place, but the local yield 128 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: um is twelve percent, so you have to be. It 129 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: has to be pretty scary to keep you out of it. 130 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: Whenever the world's squiet, you get out of those nothing 131 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: yielding German puns and go off looking for something else. 132 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Could just put out the ten year German. This is 133 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 1: a positive yield. The lowest April seven daily low point 134 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: zero eight nine. I guess we're not near there, but 135 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: it's been the February view than the April low. Another attempt, 136 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: second week of May, Mike, and all of a sudden 137 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: we're back there again. Well, a new about of of weakness. 138 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: We should lower lower yields. Rather, we should point this 139 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: out as well. If you want to take the risks 140 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: that kid is talking about in Brazil just out a 141 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: few moments ago, Brazil reporting its first quarter economy declined 142 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: three tents from the previous quarter, contracted five point four 143 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: percent from a year earlier. So one thinks those yields 144 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: me may even widen. Uh do you? I mean, is 145 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: it so compelling kit that you need to to get 146 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: into something like that or is that the kind of 147 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: trade that you mess around with on the sidelines because 148 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: it's very risky. I mean, I think Brazil is a 149 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: dangerous place for investors. You know, you look at their 150 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: their recession. Um, you know, we're a long way plast 151 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: the global financial crisis. They went into recession, then they 152 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: came out, they went back in that they're in. They're 153 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: in a proper old fashioned depression with huge political problems 154 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: facing them. I trow the point out that, but it 155 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: means that you get this kind of ceasaring but by 156 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: the market that when you know, the world doesn't have 157 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: to be quiet for very many days in a row 158 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: before people look at those yields and thinking, you know what, 159 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: I should have something put in that because I need 160 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: to learn some money on my portfolio. And then they 161 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: get scared and they run away and we go yo, well, 162 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: well we yo yo, Which I guess is range as well. 163 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: How does this synthesize into a dollar call? If I 164 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: look at blended d x y three and it's been 165 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: there for a few days as well. We got a 166 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: mix of opinions kitchu week dollar, strong dollar, dollars stability, 167 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: Which is it? I think we're going to get out. 168 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: When we break out, it will be a strong dollar. 169 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: I think the dollar goes up if we get really 170 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: scared of global growth, will redo January. I think the 171 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: dollar goes up if the fed Rais is right, the 172 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: world doesn't end and we look from to raise again. 173 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: So I think we're washing around marking time before the 174 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: next leg higher in the US dollar. I'm just not 175 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: completely comfortable with in my mind with whether it's it's 176 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: led by this this risk aversion or let's come back 177 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: with kiss society general wants to talk about here and 178 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: within the range bound.

He says the basic theme was nothing will 183 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: happen in Vienna, except a lot of listening. People really 184 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: listened to what the new Saudi Arabia is messaging. They 185 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: gotta figure out whether OPEC, what can they do and 186 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: how can they do it in the future.

Slash alts kit chooks with us 268 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: with Society General, a kit on the dollar, and I 269 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: guess one way to look at this is a dollar 270 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: in larger developed economy dynamics and the dollar with e M. 271 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: But what I'm most interested is the dollar versus a 272 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: combined Asia. The President just visited Asia, all the history 273 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: of the visit to Vietnam and of course to G 274 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: seven in Japan. Do you just presume currency is solution 275 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: for Asia, which is a weaker sing dollar, weaker Taiwan dollar, 276 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: et cetera. I think it's inevitable, and it starts from 277 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: the fact that of that the that the Chinese remember 278 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: the U and is is still expensive it's probably overvalued. 279 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: It's certainly gone up too much with the strong dollar, 280 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: but over a number of years, and I don't think 281 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: that's sustainable. And so as long as the US economy 282 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: is strong, as long as the global economy is struggling 283 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: and strong when I say strong, as long as US 284 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: economy is growing on the global economy slowly, then then 285 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: I think then I think a stronger currency is inevitable. 286 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: I mean someone like Singapore, you know, which is probably 287 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: about weather for global trade. Those pm I numbers this 288 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: morning around the world really don't help. So how do 289 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: you express this? I mean, if a lot of our 290 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: listeners worldwide you listen every day, say okay, I've got 291 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: a weak Asia angle, and as you say, p m 292 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: I was weak, how do you figure out which pair 293 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: or which trade to affect um The most liquid ones 294 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: are still you know, the Australian dollar is the liquid place. 295 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: And I think your training dollar will be allowed to fall. 296 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: The central Bank will will let it reflect terms of trade. 297 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: So if if if global trade is weak, resource prices 298 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: a week, commodities are soft, and they'll let it continue 299 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: to weaken. So I think that that suffers the New 300 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: Zealand dollar. Similarly, it's not not quite as liquid within 301 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: the other things. You don't short the yen for ratio. 302 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: You understand that yen is is a completely special currency, 303 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: and then may well benefit because people will be short 304 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: those other currencies against the yen. I think if you're 305 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: way away from China, you don't short the Chinese currency. 306 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: It's too difficult to do that. That's not the best 307 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: place to trade it. I quite like shorting Singapore. I 308 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: think it's in Singapore's interests to let the currency weaken 309 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: a bit. But that's the least volatile of them. Speaking 310 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: of the Chinese currency, the unsure is approaching a five 311 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: year low. Last year, the yuan sparked major eructions in 312 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: the financial markets, and a little bit more in January. 313 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: But now we get to this five year low and 314 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: nobody's paying any attention. What gives well, Um, it's being 315 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: managed in a really close way. So if anybody thought 316 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: that what was going to happen last year was going 317 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: to lead to a more free floating currency, that's not 318 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: what's happening. So the onshore is being allowed to weaken. 319 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: So dollar un is rising steadily, steadily, steadily, And as 320 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: you say, it's it's reaching a low point for the 321 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: un at the same time as the wider dollar index 322 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: isn't anywhere near its hide here at the moment um, 323 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: I think that they're doing this by stealth. We're beginning 324 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: to pay attention to it. I think it tells us 325 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: that they will they have you know, control freaks. Not 326 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: a fat term, but you know, there's a that they 327 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: definitely are utterly committed to staying in control of the situation, 328 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: but it's inevitable that they will need to let the 329 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: currency weaken further. It also reflects the softness of the economy, 330 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure how long you can keep financial 331 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: markets all bottled up. At some point we'll start seeing 332 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: capital outflows come again, and that will that will start 333 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: the concern us, Well, do we need to pay attention 334 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: to the c n y and the unsure you on? 335 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: Or is it the basket of currencies that the Chinese 336 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: want us to watch? Yes, so there's various measures on 337 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: on on on your Bloomberg you can find, thank you, 338 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: we'd likely to say that it's not it's not weakening, 339 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: it's not weakening as fast against those it's pretty much 340 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: on its basket of currencies. It's pretty much flat. This 341 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: is roughly what it's doing, um and and that's sort 342 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: during the course of at least of the last month 343 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: or so. And that's significant. But I do think it 344 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: tells us that it reflects the fact that once the 345 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: dollar is on a rising trend more than a weakening trend, 346 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: and the pressure is likely to return for the policy. 347 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: Make so like seeing just quickly here kids, you Singapore 348 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: dollar goes through the new weakness versus US dollar. Yes, 349 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: I expect so over the course of I think I 350 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: can't see how that every time I see a pm 351 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: I number, I think that's going to happen. I'm gonna 352 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: put that shout out, folks on Bloomberg Radio. Plus I'll 353 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: probably do that in television. I haven't looked at Singapore 354 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: dollar in a while. It is extraordinary point seven US 355 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: dollar appreciation. All that since the summer of two thousand fourteen, 356 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: always beneficial. Kitchukes, thank you so much. Is a sharp 357 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: notes from society general as well. Mike, what did you 358 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: learn this morning? I learned that once again yen moves markets, 359 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: our markets move. Yeah, that seems to be uh, you know, 360 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: the the way to put it, because it can't have 361 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: been that um Prime Minister Abby wanted a stronger yen 362 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: from his remarks, well, no, but the yields come in. 363 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's unambiguous. I mean the two 364 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: year yield I believe was a point nine to three 365 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: cups of coffee. Ago, well, I thinks five big figures. 366 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: Kitchus may have put his finger on it, saying there 367 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: this is a risk a risky month, and the risk 368 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: off trade has begun. Everybody's getting out of the way 369 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: of the tsunami ahead.
