It's like, you know, it's like terrible 14 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: Adam posing with us this morning. Adam, my book of 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: the Summer's ken Roll, goffs our Dolly, your problem. I 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 2: read the footnotes on that much of a Nerd, and 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: back in the foot it's they mentioned Alwin Young of LS. 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,279 Speaker 2: Adam Posen is mentioned as well, and sandwichs in there, Adam, 19 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: as you know, is Paul Krugman's nineteen ninety four jewel 20 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: on the myth of the Asian Miracle. If you're speaking 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 2: with Secretary of Treasury Bessett. Now is he meets with 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: the Chinese Monday in Stockholm, what is the myth of 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: China that he needs to know about? 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me, Tom, and of course I follow you. 25 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 4: So I saw you made Ken's book the Book of 26 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 4: the Summer good call. I think the myth that Alan 27 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 4: Young and Paul Krugman and others put out which was right, 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 4: which is, you don't get self perpetuating growth. You don't 29 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 4: get trend productivity, growth improvements with just through throwing more 30 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 4: capital that you have to actually innovate. And so this 31 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 4: has been an issue for China, not because they don't innovate, 32 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 4: the private sector does clearly, but that they keep deciding 33 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 4: to throw huge amounts of money into the state owned 34 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 4: enterprise sector, into industries of yesterday. It doesn't solve Secretary 35 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 4: Pscent in the US's issue with China because again there 36 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 4: is a fundamental competitiveness of a lot of the Chinese economy, 37 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 4: and then disputes about their treatment of intellectual property rights, 38 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 4: their treatment of dumping of subsidies. But the fundamental point 39 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: which my colleague Nic Clardy also in China, yeah, is 40 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: that there is still a huge divide between the public 41 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 4: sector and the private sector use of capital in China. 42 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: Adam posen I was going to mention Nick Lardy, with 43 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: real authoritative decades of perspective on China, do we want 44 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: those jobs back? 45 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 3: Does a Peterson Institute see. 46 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: Any evidence that we want the quote unquote manufacturing jobs 47 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 2: of China back in America? 48 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 4: Depends which ones you know talk about Krugman and Laura Tyson. 49 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 4: We're debating thirty five years ago, industrial policy right and 50 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 4: trade strategic so called strategic trade policy, and long through 51 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 4: the years. What's come out is you want to be 52 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 4: realistic about what jobs you can get, and you want 53 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 4: jobs that are relatively well paid for the level of 54 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 4: development your economies at and as people rightly made fun 55 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 4: of Secretary Lutnik talking about, we don't want us people 56 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 4: screwing little screws into the backs of iPhones. That's not 57 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: what the US should be doing. We don't really want 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 4: us people doing things that can easily be substituted for 59 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: by robots and mechanization. There are some manufacturing jobs that 60 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 4: would be nice to have, But as another colleague of mine, 61 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 4: Robert Lawrence, who you know well, has argued, there's a 62 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 4: real limit, given technology, given international markets, given declining demand 63 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 4: for in money terms, for manufactured goods, how many of 64 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 4: these manufacturing jobs you can create? And so that ultimately 65 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 4: is the crazy thing about all this. If you go 66 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: through turning the whole US economy upside down, you're going 67 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 4: to change the labor force by one one and a 68 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 4: half percent at most, which is a lot in human terms, 69 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 4: but is a very small amount in the economy. That 70 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 4: doesn't say we shouldn't worry about concentration risk and national 71 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 4: security risk. On the manufacturing side, that's a different argument. 72 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 4: But the jobs idea, there's just fundamental limits. You're not 73 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 4: going to create enough good jobs as they're called through 74 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 4: this kind of policy. 75 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 5: Adam, what do you make of the US dollar here? 76 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 5: It's still down nine ten percent versus it's high from 77 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 5: earlier this year when most risk assets, whether you look 78 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 5: at the S and P five hundred, they bounce back 79 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 5: in are setting new heis what's going on with the 80 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 5: US dollar? 81 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 4: In your opinion, you're right to point out the divergence, 82 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 4: but I think there's a reasonably clear explanation. So as 83 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 4: I know you wore ware Paul, the TIC data, the 84 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 4: Treasury International or whatever it's called. Data shows that there's 85 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: been big inflows into the US. What seems to be 86 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 4: happening is a lot of long money managers, including sovereign 87 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 4: wealth funds, including certain bank and government reserve managers, but 88 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 4: also pench of funds. Insurance companies are smartly repricing risk 89 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 4: on the US, both because the US is providing less 90 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: credible insurance than it used to in various ways, and 91 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 4: because the fiscal path is now noticeably worse, and so 92 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 4: they're hedging. They're paying for hedges on the dollar in 93 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 4: a way that they rarely have for the last twenty 94 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 4: thirty years, and that's more easily expressed through the currency 95 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: markets than through through equities or bonds. And so to me, 96 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: we're seeing a genuine move against the dollar on fundamentals, 97 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: and we're seeing that in as many people have documented, 98 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: including my Colleymoriozeld, including Ellen Ray at London Business School, 99 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 4: that we got this and you've spoken about we've got 100 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: this now kind of em dynamic. When bad news hits 101 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 4: in the US, intra day, intraweek, interest rates go up 102 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 4: and dollar goes down, as opposed to usually for the 103 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 4: last twenty thirty years, when bad news hits, interest rates 104 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 4: go up and dollar goes up because there's flight to 105 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 4: the US. So there isn't a contradiction. There is an 106 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: expression of non zero risk on US assets that has 107 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 4: to be hedged, and that's showing up in dollars in currency. 108 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 5: Excuse me, Is there a risk that the dollar loses 109 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 5: this position as reserve currency in the global Me? 110 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 4: No, but I think dollar loses its centrality. So let 111 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 4: me parse the words carefully. Reserve currency status doesn't have 112 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 4: to be only one. The historian Berry eichen Green has 113 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 4: documented this. Mark Vantro and others have documented this. It 114 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 4: basically the attribute of reserve currency is that you can 115 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 4: issue your public debt in your own currency, and secondarily 116 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: that at least some of the time when there's a panic, 117 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: people come to it. That latter part, as I just said, 118 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 4: is we can take some But US is going to 119 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 4: continue to be able to issue debt in its own 120 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: currency at higher interest rates. But it will be able 121 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: to But I and Maury and Marcus Brennermeier and or 122 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 4: given a bunch of US are talking about decentering of 123 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 4: the dollar, that the dollar is being massively overweight, and 124 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 4: reserve portfolios in transactions, in payment systems, in currency pegs. 125 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 4: All of that I think is potentially starting to be unwhound. 126 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: I don't think it's it's all gonna go away by 127 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 4: any means, but I do think there is a meaningful 128 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 4: shift with. 129 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: It's Adam Posen of the Peterson Institute in Washington, and 130 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: we welcome all of you on your commute across the 131 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: nation this morning. Good Morning ninety nine one FM in Washington, 132 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: Nathan Hager Radio ninety two nine in Boston and Brookline, 133 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: and of course Bloomberg eleventh three to zero here in 134 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: New York on YouTube. It is a digital experiment growing 135 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: each and every day. The best way is to subscribe 136 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: to Bloomberg podcast. Anticipated is September nineteenth of this autumn, 137 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: where there will be a wonderful, I guess, virtual moment 138 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: for Adam Posen at the Peterson Institute with Jason Furman 139 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: and Kenneth Rogueoff. And what's so important about this It's 140 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: an honor of Richard and Cooper who was at Harvard 141 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 2: for years and synthesized our economics together. Adam Posen get 142 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: out front of the September nineteenth date. How do we 143 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: synthesize the American turboil now into twenty twenty six. 144 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 4: Thank you for mentioning our third annual Richard and Cooper 145 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 4: Memorial Lecture, which his family has paid for at the Institute, 146 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 4: and we're very proud to have Ken Rogoff being this 147 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: year's lecture in Jason Furman, his Harvard colleague chair to 148 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 4: synthesize it, Tom, I have an article forthcoming at Foreign Affairs, 149 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 4: which I know you read, talking about the fact that 150 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: the change in the regime from the Trump administration is 151 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 4: very real in the sense building what I was just 152 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: saying with the dollar, in the sense that the Trump 153 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 4: administration is not just renegotiating the pricing of the public 154 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 4: goods that it provides the rest of the world. It 155 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 4: is fundamentally altering the credibility of the promises, the reliability, 156 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: the nature of the relationship that the US has economically 157 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 4: with other countries. And as a result, as we just 158 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 4: spoke about repricing of risk on dollar assets, including treasuries, 159 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 4: I think that a bunch of countries, a bunch of companies, 160 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 4: a bunch of investors are reallocating. And you mentioned Dick 161 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 4: Cooper and the book that I first knew about from 162 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 4: Dick Cooper was his nineteen sixty eight book The Economics 163 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: of Interdependence that ahead of everybody else, He said, Look, 164 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 4: the US has to reckon with the fact that other 165 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 4: economies are interdependent with us. They're dependent on us, We're 166 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 4: dependent on them, and we have to figure out how 167 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 4: to balance that and work that. And the Trump administration, 168 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 4: as far as I can tell from all their policies 169 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 4: since retaking office, is basically saying, wherever we're dominant in 170 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 4: an immediate sense, where we're less dependent than they are, 171 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 4: we will try to extract as much as possible. 172 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: Time And because of time, this is so important what 173 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 2: we're talking about here, folks beyond Trump and I go 174 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: to Speaker Secretary Lutnik talking yesterday the certitude of a 175 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 2: unilateral power of America. Do you think we get back 176 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: to traditional American interdependency after Trump or is this a 177 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: one off and permanent change for generations. 178 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 4: I think it's somewhere in between. I think, just as 179 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 4: with the alliance relationships in Europe, as Koreyshaki has spoken about, 180 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: that there are some fundamental changes tearing up of trust 181 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 4: that will take a generation rebuild. But I also think 182 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 4: that this set of policies is going to blow up, 183 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 4: unfortunately for the US, over the next few years. Whether 184 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 4: it's two years or six years, I unfortunately can't say, 185 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: but it's going to blow up. And presumably at that point, 186 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 4: just as after Herbert Hoover and Andrew Mellon in the thirties, 187 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 4: there was a reckoning. I hate the combination of foreign 188 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 4: and economic policies that are being pursued. I use the 189 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 4: term hate because I think it combines bad policy making 190 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 4: bad impact with bad values. And I am hopeful, just 191 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: as the US found its way in the forties and 192 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 4: fifties to a more constructive engagement with the rest of 193 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 4: the world, a more realistic in its own self interest frankly, 194 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 4: that the US will do so again. But I'm also 195 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: advocating and hoping and engaging that the rest of the 196 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 4: world can create and maintain things that without the US 197 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 4: and China real quickly. 198 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 5: So Adam, just to put a bow and that is international, 199 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 5: at least for the near term. Globalization is that over. 200 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 4: No, Paul, I think it's corroded. I think the US 201 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 4: aspects of globalization are definitely in retreat, but you can 202 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 4: see osion and CPTPP, the various arrangements in Asia deepening 203 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 4: and expanding. You can see the EU stepping up, not 204 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 4: as much as perhaps the moment calls for, but much 205 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 4: more than in the past, and integrating slightly more. You 206 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: can see Brazil and India and Turkey the major emerging markets, 207 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 4: and Indonesia pursuing again a mix of good and bad policies, 208 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 4: but still fundamentally pro globalization. The world goes on, but 209 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 4: it is a more rugged world after the seismic shock 210 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 4: from Trump. It is a world where the roads are 211 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 4: less good and some of it has to be rebuilt. 212 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: Adam Post and thank you so much, greatly, greatly, I 213 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: appreciate it, anticipating his effort for four and airs coming 214 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: out in the coming weeks. 215 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. Catch us live 216 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: weekday afternoons from seven to ten am Eastern Listen on 217 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: Applecarplay and Android Otto with the Bloomberg Business app, or 218 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: watch US live on YouTube. 219 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: Lebby Cantrell is. 220 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: With PIMCO and it's looking at Washington policy. 221 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: Le mey uh. There's a point. 222 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: I remember a book of the summer ten years ago 223 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: was a one volume on John Hay it was absolutely 224 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: superb and before air conditioning, it was how Washington came 225 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: to a complete total halt in July. 226 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 3: Is there a summerness to your Washington d C. 227 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 6: I mean there typically is. I think we all gotta 228 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 6: wait with baited breath for usually for the August recess. 229 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 6: You know, Tom, though, I think that this president has 230 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 6: proved that, regardless of Congress is in session or not, 231 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 6: there are still many headlines and subsequent market reactions to 232 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 6: to those headlines in Washington, regardless of Congress is in 233 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 6: So I'm not sure it will make that much of 234 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 6: a difference this year, But usually it is a time 235 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 6: where people do go on vacation and and enjoy the 236 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 6: restpite before what usually is a busy fall in Congress, Can. 237 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 5: Fed Chairman J. Palace, You're going to be able to 238 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 5: enjoy the rest of this summer into the fall here. 239 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 5: How do you view that whole process, that issue? 240 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's you know, I think you know. 241 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 6: Our view, I think, very much like Stephanie, is that 242 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 6: that that Fed chair Palell is going to stay the course. 243 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 6: We do not think that it is likely that he 244 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 6: either resigns or that President Trump actually fires him for 245 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 6: a variety of reasons, most of which it is self 246 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 6: defeating for the president. We do not think it's the 247 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 6: lower interest rates. We think it all can make it 248 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 6: much harder for him to confirm basically anybody that he wants, 249 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 6: particularly more dubbish, a dubbish person. So I think that he, 250 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 6: you know, J. Powell, probably will will not be resty 251 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 6: as much as he would want to in August. But 252 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 6: again I think we agree with him with Stephanie is 253 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 6: not that he's not going anywhere and he will stay 254 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 6: the course. 255 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: Libby synthesize your work on political economics and the politics 256 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: at Washington into. 257 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: The world of PIMCOH. 258 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 2: We're hearing in the zeitgeist a more constructive tone, as 259 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: we just heard from his Roth of Wolf research, a 260 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: more constructive summer, a more constructive Q three, OMG, we're 261 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: going to survive tariffs. Fold that into the bond market 262 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 2: in what yield would do? Does that get us back 263 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: on a disinflationary vector of low yields or do we 264 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: have stimulus that gives us stable yields or higher yields? 265 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 6: Yeah? 266 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 3: We think. 267 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 6: I mean, we've been saying now for about a year 268 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 6: that our view has been that you'll most likely get 269 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 6: a steeper curve, whether that is sort of a bear 270 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 6: steepening or a bull steepening, you can basically get both 271 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 6: right where you have more term pre at the long 272 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 6: end of the curve, as investors like pim Go require 273 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 6: more yield to invest in longer term paper, but at 274 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 6: the same time you also expect the FED to likely 275 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 6: cut and that is our view. We do think that 276 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 6: you may get more term premium at the end as 277 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 6: folks do get increasingly concerned about the deficit situation about 278 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 6: potentially the independence of the FED. But at the same 279 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 6: time that the economy is accelerating and you know, you 280 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 6: may see a little bit of stimulus from the tax bill. 281 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 6: I'm not sure that's really been sufficiently reported, just in 282 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 6: terms of some of the retroactive tax provisions that were 283 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 6: retroactive to the beginning of twenty twenty five. That means 284 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 6: just the bottom line here is that consumers will actually 285 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 6: be getting some nice tax refunds in the beginning of 286 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 6: next year, but also businesses will be able to take 287 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 6: advantage as some of these new business tax provisions starting 288 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 6: kind of you know, in the fall. Most likely, so 289 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 6: you could see some you know, marginal physical stimulus. We're 290 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 6: penciling in about half a point over the next twelve 291 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 6: months from the tax bill. But that said that the 292 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 6: tariffs are still in place, and we continue to believe, 293 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 6: and maybe we're in the minority here, that the President 294 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 6: is not you know, tacoing if he will on tariffs. 295 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 6: He really believes this. He believes this is an opportunity 296 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 6: to really remake the global trading order, and I think 297 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 6: it would be sort of foolish, honestly to not take 298 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 6: him seriously that higher tariffs are likely coming. Regardless though, Tom, 299 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 6: this is important is that the tarifrad is already high. 300 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 6: You know, we're we're assuming that the tariff rate is 301 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 6: about thirteen fourteen percent, and again we'll likely go high 302 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 6: even if you don't see these reciprocal tariffs going on 303 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 6: August first. I, Paul. 304 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 3: I can't get my head around that. I'm still frank. 305 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 3: I've heard thirteen, I've heard fifteen, give me seven other numbers. 306 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 3: I know we are so far from three. 307 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 5: So far from three. And the question obviously is how 308 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 5: much will corporate take it in their margin versus passing 309 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 5: along to consumers. 310 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 7: So Libby. 311 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 5: I also want to look a small page forward here 312 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 5: to September. When our esteemed Congress returns in September. They 313 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 5: got to pass some legislation to keep the government open, 314 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 5: don't they Yes. 315 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 6: As a reminder, in the tax bill, which I think 316 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 6: we all welcomed in the bond market, they did address 317 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 6: the debt ceiling. So the debt ceiling is usually that 318 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 6: that is a you know, because they're a big crisis, 319 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 6: or at least momentarily crisis for the bond market. We're 320 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 6: not going to see that the debt ceiling has now 321 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 6: been increased, likely to be on twenty twenty eight, if 322 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 6: not even, or twenty twenty seven if not further. But 323 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 6: but we do still need Congress to fund the government 324 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 6: to avert a shutdown deadline to September thirtieth. They haven't 325 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 6: made a lot of progress. We could see a government shutdown. 326 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 6: I'm not sure if it's a real market event, but 327 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 6: clearly if the market is already feeling kind of if 328 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 6: they're already on edge, or if they will be on 329 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 6: edge in September, this could sort of exascerbate that one. 330 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: If I got a note here, not a hate you know, 331 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 2: I do get the hate man Michael Bargets all the 332 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 2: love notes, but Lebbie Cantrell is the basic tone of 333 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: the American zeitgeist that we're prospering in a prosperous America 334 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 2: and that with all this legislation, all of the administration's work, 335 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: all of our work, we're leaving behind a huge part 336 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 2: of America. Is that the backstory of this twenty twenty five. 337 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 6: I'm not exactly sure what you mean by but we're. 338 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 3: We're leaving behind. 339 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 2: I'm getting notes from people saying, all your fancy people, 340 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: all your fancy guests, are talking about in America that's employed, 341 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: prosperous in the stock market, whatever, in the bond market 342 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: with Pimco funds. The fact is we're leaving a whole 343 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 2: hunk of America behind, right. 344 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 6: You know, I think that's absolutely right, And I mean, 345 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 6: this is part of the reason why I think the 346 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 6: majority of Americans elected President Trump is that they did 347 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 6: feel like the sort of the establishment that the elites, 348 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 6: the Bloomberg elites, if you will, Tom, we're, you know, 349 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 6: we're leaving the kind of the working person behind. I'm 350 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 6: not sure if those folks feel like this that Trump 351 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 6: administration elites yet yet have addressed some of those concerns, 352 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 6: particularly around cost of living. I mean these are all, 353 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 6: you know, kitchen table issues. These are still are the 354 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 6: most important for voters. And I'm not that that doesn't 355 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 6: seem to have gone away if you just look at 356 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 6: least it's for the pulling. Take that with a great 357 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 6: self n I see. 358 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: Butt Lebby, Thank you so much.

At the end of his report, 366 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 3: Ian White is with Huntington Bank. 367 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 2: With a perspective difference in three zip codes in Manhattan, 368 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: the Southeast is out performing northern states for total spending growth, 369 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: partly reflecting a growing younger population. 370 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 3: Give us a Huntington Bank anecdote. How the ute from 371 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: the northeast are going south? 372 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 8: I mean, look at Charlotte, I'm based there. You can 373 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 8: see tons of New York bankers ending up there having kids. 374 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 8: It's huge banking center right now. And we're seeing across 375 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 8: the Southeast and Texas, of course, just remarkable growth. That's 376 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 8: part of why you know, we made an acquisition in 377 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 8: Veritex and Dallas. Leaning into the demographic trends, Dallas blows 378 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 8: my mind numbers wise. If you look at the census 379 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 8: data from the estimates for population since twenty twenty through 380 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 8: twenty four, Dallas added about six hundred and seventy thousand 381 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 8: people the number so Texas added the most people, Florida 382 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 8: the second most. North Carolina was third in terms of 383 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 8: population growth. North Carolina only added five hundred and ninety 384 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 8: thousand people, So Dallas added Washington, d C. 385 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 3: That's great. I love that Dallas head in Washington, d C. 386 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: It's too good to be true. What's the worry? What's 387 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 3: the constraint on this great migration? 388 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 8: Definitely, cost is becoming more of an issue. You look 389 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 8: at housing costs in a lot of these cities that 390 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 8: were pretty affordable, you've seen that really go up. Now 391 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 8: in recent months, we've seen a bit of a pullback 392 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 8: and home prices there, especially in desirable areas in near 393 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 8: core you have run up where the affordability gap isn't 394 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 8: quite as strong as it once was, so we are 395 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 8: a bit concerned about that. For somewhere like the Carolinas, 396 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 8: where we're growing organically. We've at Hudntington, we've recently started 397 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 8: opening branches and we open commercial commercial offices in all 398 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 8: six major metro areas across both Carolinas each What's interesting 399 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 8: there is every metro almost has a different economic model, 400 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 8: and so you have probably six distinct economic models you 401 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 8: can look across the six big metro areas there, so 402 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 8: each one has a different thing driving its growth, but 403 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 8: it is generally, you know, business friendly climate. People want 404 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 8: to live there. And the reality is companies right now, 405 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 8: in an environment where labor force isn't growing, the twenty 406 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 8: five to fifty four year old population is basically flat 407 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 8: in the United States, especially with lower immigration, companies are 408 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 8: going to follow workers and they're following where they want 409 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 8: to live, and Texas continues to attract them and just 410 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 8: unbelievable numbers, and the Carolinas are also doing very well 411 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 8: as well. 412 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 5: All right, let's step back, what's your view overall of 413 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 5: just kind of this US coonvy. I don't know if 414 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 5: you lead with the labor market, lead with the consumer. 415 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 5: I mean, we know everything's great then in the Carolinas, 416 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 5: in Texas, we get that It's been that way actually 417 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 5: my entire career, quite frankly, broader speaking, how are you 418 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 5: guys thinking about things? What are you hearing from your clients? 419 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 8: We see it as clients still see a somewhat conservative 420 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 8: consumer who's not making huge purchases. They're a little hesitant 421 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 8: on debt finance purchases. If you talk about you know, 422 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 8: we have a large business in RV plan lending, boats, marine, jetskis, 423 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 8: all those things. 424 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, we do Vesta scooters. Yeah, so you know se 425 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 7: do or something like that. 426 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 8: We'll do a lot of a lot of their dealers 427 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 8: We have relationships there where we do a lot of 428 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 8: the dealerships. And you still see that consumer whose debt 429 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 8: financed is a little hesitant. They're that lower end product. 430 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 8: The higher end product, the consumer who's you know, selling 431 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 8: equity near retirement. They may have had that conversation, you know, 432 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 8: back in December with their advisor where they have that 433 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 8: annual review and they say, you know, how much money 434 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 8: do you want to do? 435 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 7: You want to die with you know, have some fun 436 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 7: with it, enjoy it. 437 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 8: You're doing pretty well, and so we still see that 438 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 8: that consumer I think is the base of the US 439 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 8: economy right now and really what's driving growth. You know, 440 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 8: they're the ones who refinanced in twenty one. They're the 441 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 8: ones who inflation hasn't affected them very much. 442 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 3: So if Michael Barr finances his spark tricks se do 443 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 3: ye at nine ninety nine dollars, you can get financing 444 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 3: from you. 445 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 8: It's more we've probably financed his dealer is where now 446 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 8: we can do the financing on this too. 447 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 7: But his dealer's floor plan, his floor plan facility. 448 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, we probably We have a relationship with Bombardier recreation products. 449 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 5: You what are you hearing from your clients in the 450 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 5: Midwest where hunting started. What are they telling. 451 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 6: You these days? 452 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 5: Again, we know the Southeast is kind of booming, but 453 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 5: you're you guys are hunting at Columbus, Ohio, big Midwest 454 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 5: presence historically. 455 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 7: What are they telling you, I'd say a couple a 456 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 7: couple of things. 457 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 8: One definitely, trying to pull back the supply chain to 458 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 8: the United States is a real thing that's happening, and 459 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 8: It really depends on the industry whether they think it's 460 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 8: going to happen. You know, I talked to a company 461 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 8: and building products and they just said, look, the entire 462 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 8: supply chain for our entire industry, soup to knots is 463 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 8: in one province in China, and we just don't know 464 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 8: if we can move it at all. So we're going 465 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 8: to have to deal with the tariffs and figure out 466 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 8: ways just to manage. 467 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: It'll be quickly here. So timeline do you have where 468 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: we rationalize one province in China? 469 00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 7: I don't know. 470 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 8: I think it really depends product to product. 471 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 7: Autos it's definitely coming back. 472 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 8: There's definitely moves to get more parts made here, more 473 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 8: things made here. We're hearing that. In terms of the Midwest, 474 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 8: I also think there's a little bit of a growth 475 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 8: split where we're seeing better data for say, anything. 476 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 7: South of the Great Lakes. So in Indianapolis. 477 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 8: Indianapolis, if you look at their job growth data, it's 478 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,959 Speaker 8: basically been a sat Sun belt market since twenty twenty. 479 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 8: Columbus is doing a bit better, Cincinnati's doing a bit better. 480 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 8: So you kind of have that strength in the southern 481 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 8: half of our footprint that you're a little stronger overall, though. 482 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 8: I also, you know, we probably have seen a little 483 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 8: stronger consumer spending growth in the Southeast and the South 484 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 8: when you look at the real time spending data. 485 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 3: In one thank you so much.

So there you go, with the velocity 498 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 3: of the lift in. 499 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 5: Bitcoin, Bitcoin sitting right here at one hundred and nineteen 500 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 5: thousand dollars even just an extraordinary run. Here, Aysha Kiani joins, 501 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 5: and she's a COO of M and C group. Also 502 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 5: over there at a professor at NYU Little College downtown 503 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 5: Manhattan are issha. What is the theme around crypto these days? 504 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 5: Is it the fact that we have an administration now 505 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 5: that seems to be embracing crypto broadly defined? Is that 506 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 5: kind of the main narration? 507 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 9: I think the main narrative is that there's no stopping 508 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 9: us anymore. Right, So I know where we have basically 509 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 9: been unleashed, and so number one driving forces obviously the 510 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 9: ETFs inflows, right, three point one in bitcoin three point 511 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 9: four or five in ethereum billion, just in like last week. 512 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 6: Right. 513 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 9: The other thing is that the pro Legislative Action on 514 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 9: Genius Bill, which is the stable Coin Act, Right, So. 515 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 5: What does that act say? What does it do? 516 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 9: The Act sss that if you're a bank or if 517 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 9: you're a company, you are authorized to create your own 518 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 9: stable coin backed by the US dollar. Okay, so if 519 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 9: you're going to create ten stable coins, you have to 520 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 9: have ten dollars in your bank. 521 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 5: That seems like something that even a Jamie Diamond could 522 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 5: get behind. 523 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 9: And he has been getting behind. City Bank has been 524 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 9: getting behind. We are seeing a lot of action on 525 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 9: the banking side where every bank is either sorry. 526 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 3: No, no, I don't mean to grow up. 527 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 9: I'm listening so basically every bank is very much interested 528 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 9: in coming up with their own stable coin. 529 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 2: What's the Is the underlying changed on bitcoin from when 530 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 2: it was forty thousand or four thousand. Is it a 531 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 2: new bitcoin or is it the same old bitcoin it 532 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: was seven years ago? 533 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 9: It's the same old bitcoin at the same old cold 534 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 9: It's the same old mining process that the same miners 535 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 9: us has just grown in concentration in mining that bitcoin 536 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 9: from seven years. 537 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 3: Can you state that Gary Gensler allowed for the lift 538 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 3: in bitcoin by opening it up to people like Blackrock. 539 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 9: Ah, yes, he did right, He opened up a different market. 540 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 9: But I think more than him, it's the current administration 541 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 9: because with you know, previous administration, especially with Gary Gensler 542 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 9: and SEC, we struggled in defining digital assets. But we're 543 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 9: finally have that point where the conversations have become very 544 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 9: easy to say that, look, this is a digital asset, 545 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 9: this is a digital security. This is just a coin 546 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 9: that just needs to exist to prove the blockchain. And 547 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 9: SEC and CFTC have come forward very welcome in in 548 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 9: understanding on all of these terminologies. 549 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 2: When you lectured NYU, can you suggest that it's being 550 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 2: used less for criminal activity worldwide. 551 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 9: Sure, so we have companies like TRM, Chain Analysis, Elliptic 552 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 9: that basically monitored these transactions, right number one. Number two 553 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 9: thing is when we're working with companies like canter or 554 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 9: you know, gold min Sex or Google of the world, 555 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 9: they would want funds like us to have such monitoring 556 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 9: infrastructure in place, which these companies provide. And yes, so 557 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 9: it is very much loose used very less for illicit 558 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 9: activity now because all of it is very traceable. And 559 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 9: I teach my students this. So I was like, guys, look, 560 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 9: if tomorrow you think you can hide one bitcoin to 561 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 9: you know, for an illicit purposes, this is how I'm 562 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 9: going to find you. 563 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 5: So on the Bloomberg terminal for those folks on the 564 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 5: Bloomberg terminal, Bloomberg Intelligence covers a crypto space across the 565 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 5: board BI space c r yp crypto will get you 566 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 5: all the research and all the data you need there. 567 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 5: So I issue, what's the talk now in the crypto 568 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 5: space for people like Tom and I, it's kind of 569 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 5: bitcoin and we quote bitcoin h and. 570 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 3: That's about it. 571 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 5: How is this? How is the crypto space evolving? Where's 572 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 5: the next one to two to three years for crypto 573 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 5: broadly to find. 574 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 9: So when you're covering bitcoin, right, you're basically covering the 575 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 9: entire representation of dital assets because bitcoin is our real representation. 576 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 9: Some people may disagree with that. But where three to 577 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 9: four ears, we're headed as stable coins. Right, you're standing 578 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 9: at Starbucks, you're transacting in your stable. You don't have 579 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 9: to do it with your credit card. We're seeing also 580 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 9: MasterCard working with their own crypto infra rail to basically 581 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 9: provide solutions. So there's no buybacks, right. One thing that 582 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 9: crypto provides is absolute finality in their transaction. There's not 583 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 9: going to be any buybacks from or there's not going 584 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 9: to be any cancelations. 585 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: On credit cards. 586 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 9: Right, So in star in Starbucks, right, you're like, hey, 587 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 9: here's five USDC or five US MasterCard, see you tomorrow. 588 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 9: That's where we're that's where we're headed. 589 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,719 Speaker 2: Don't be a strange. I got eighteen more questions, thank you. 590 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 2: So I used to carry with us with NYU where 591 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 2: she teaches on bitcoin, a whole resume of accomplish roots. 592 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: This is the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. Listen live each weekday 593 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: starting at seven am Eastern on Apple, Corplay and Android 594 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: Auto with the Bloomberg Business app. You can also listen 595 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: live on Amazon Alexa from our flagship New York station. 596 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty. 597 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 3: Good morning everyone, pauls. I'm here getting through a July week. 598 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 2: Lots of interesting cross currents here, and of course the 599 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 2: diversion of the newspapers up all night and at three 600 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 2: am to give us some choice marsels, Lisa Matella. 601 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 3: What do you have? 602 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 4: All Right? 603 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 10: We've been talking a lot about the affordability crisis in 604 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 10: New York City, right, but now it's expanding to a 605 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 10: new area. And The New York Times points out animal 606 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 10: shelters because they say that a lot of New Yorkers 607 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 10: have been turning in their pets because they can't afford 608 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 10: to keep them. Right, they either lost their housing, or 609 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 10: maybe they have to move to a new place that 610 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 10: doesn't allow pets, or maybe they just can't afford to 611 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 10: feed them because you guys know, it's expensive, right to 612 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 10: have a pet. So what they're saying is that the 613 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 10: shelters don't have rooms, so a lot of them are 614 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,479 Speaker 10: being turned away, a lot of the animals. There are 615 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 10: two new animal shelters under construction, The Bronx and Brooklyn, 616 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 10: but they're not opening until next year. But they're saying 617 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 10: this is just a growing problem. They have some pets 618 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 10: that are like in one cage together and they're just 619 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 10: running out of space. So that's the issue. 620 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 3: Here is for COVID. Everybody a pet during COVIDS. 621 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 10: Sense of course, I was this close to getting a 622 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 10: pet during COVID. 623 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 3: Paul, would you like to talk about up all night 624 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 3: with pets? 625 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, up all night with a Seamus? 626 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, if we enjoyed the first vet Bill. 627 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, of course, of course. Yeahtrition exactly, exactly. 628 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 10: Next, Okay, this is something that we were actually just 629 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 10: talking about in the last segment. For bitcoin, a new 630 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 10: sign that the biggest banks are endorsing this move to 631 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 10: digital assets into the mainstream, so sources are telling the 632 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 10: Financial Times JP Morgan Chase is exploring lending against clients 633 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 10: cryptocurrency holdings. And it's a big shift because Jamie Diamond 634 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 10: a few years ago he said bitcoin was a fraud. 635 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 10: So they say they could start lending directly against crypto 636 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 10: assets like bitcoin ethereum as soon as next year. 637 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 6: Plans could change. 638 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 10: JP Morgan didn't want to comment on this, but it's 639 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 10: out there and they're saying, you know Diamond's earlier comments 640 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 10: about bitcoin. The problem was is that it alienated some 641 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 10: possible clients who either made money through crypto or maybe 642 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 10: you know of different legislation because you talked about stable coins, 643 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 10: you know, in the last segment as well, So that 644 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 10: was another point of it. But it's already taken some steps. 645 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 10: Remember we talked about plans to begin lending against holdings 646 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 10: in crypto ETFs for JP Morgan, So this is just 647 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 10: another step in that. But we'll see, you know, what happens. 648 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 9: Well. 649 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 5: To me, the creation of the ETFs for crypto was 650 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 5: really a validating event for me, at least in just 651 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 5: in terms of global Wall Street, and it's embrasive crypto 652 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 5: because it just made it more accessible to individual investors. 653 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 5: So here's JP Morgan chase again. You mentioned Jamie Diamond, 654 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 5: arguably the highest profile I guess I'm not gonna say critic, 655 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 5: maybe a doubter. I don't know. It seems to be 656 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 5: changing his tone there. 657 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 10: Oh, there's the you're welcome. 658 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 3: Oh, Meredith thinks that's funny. In the control room, it 659 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 3: could just see one out of five awake in the 660 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,479 Speaker 3: control thank you for. 661 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 10: Cork is always on hand. Okay, I want to pull 662 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 10: an audible here and I'm going to that independent article 663 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 10: from earlier about cane sugar coke. Okay, so this is debate, right, 664 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 10: cane sugar versus corn syrup, because Coke is now saying 665 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 10: it wants to launch this new coke made with cane. 666 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 7: Sugar this fall. 667 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 10: So coke in the US, here's a difference. It's made 668 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 10: with high fruitoase corn syrup, right, which is made from cornstarch. 669 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 10: Like I was talking earlier, corn has been cheaper than 670 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 10: cane sugar. So that was the reason. Cane sugar is 671 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 10: made from sugar cane, you know, the long long you know, stiffs. 672 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: The bamboo things. 673 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 10: It's used as a sweetener and coke in most other countries. 674 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 10: So that's a difference between US and other countries. 675 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 4: Which one is healthier. That's the debate. 676 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 10: I mean, experts are saying corn syrup has a little 677 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 10: bit more fruit tooase than table sugar, but cane sugar 678 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 10: not necessarily healthier. I mean it's it's not the main 679 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 10: difference is like a molecular structure. Molecular structure, I'm. 680 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 5: Not missed that different, but rasby Mexico. Isn't Mexican coke? Differently, 681 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 5: you go to like a Chipotle and they. 682 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 10: Have like, well, they have the highproctose corns here. But 683 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 10: I don't know if it's a recipe. 684 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 7: Okay, I'm learning, what do I know? 685 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 10: But the main thing is that added sugar right, soda 686 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 10: has more than a daily recommended added sugar. If I'm 687 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,280 Speaker 10: looking at a label, I'm always go to the added 688 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 10: sugars first to see how much extra is in there. 689 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 7: So they're saying, so. 690 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 5: I do I do? 691 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 2: Floritative view of Lisa Matteo.
