1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. Along 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa Brownwitz. Daily we bring you 3 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations. 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcast, Suncloud, Bloomberg dot com, 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: and of course on the Bloomberg terminal. We're not gonna 6 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: waste time now the statistics, but to be very serious, 7 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: eight deaths are reported by the New York Times and 8 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: other organizations here on building collapses over historic rain. With 9 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: that note, we get immediately to someone with the largest 10 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: headaches of the morning. The acting chairman, the chief executive 11 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: officer of the MTA, Genna Liebert, joins us this morning, Jenna, 12 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: where's your biggest headache at this time in the morning. Well, 13 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: with that, the subway system is coming back. It's incredibly 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: resilient and um we've got you know, operating service from 15 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: most areas of the city. It's obviously got some limitations, 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: but we're putting Humpty Dumpy back together again. And bravo 17 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: to the cruise that that worked throughout the night to 18 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: do it. There's there's one area in fourteenth ch area 19 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: of West Side of Manhattan where there's the pumping is 20 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: still going on in order for us to restore service 21 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: to that very important line. Um, but we think that 22 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: by you know, mid afternoon, we're gonna have most of 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: the lines really back in full functioning for an evening commute. 24 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: So that's exciting. So you're telling you're telling me that 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: we will see an evening commute. Uh yeah, I mean, fortunately, 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people elected to work remotely or stay 27 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: at home today, so a little lighter than usual. But 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: we're we're we're gonna be able to move people on 29 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: the subways and on the bus system, which performed heroically great. 30 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: Bus drivers rescued tons of people, moved him home last night. Um. 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: The commuter railroads is a little spotty, or Tom Metro 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: North is really out of business today because in are 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: there in mud slides and trees and so on. They 34 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: had some hits on their electrical infrastructure. Long Island Railroad, however, 35 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: really back in action. They are. They've got most branches operating. 36 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: More Washington Bridge still struggling, but Long Island Railroad is 37 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: is mostly in operation. And Lisa Joe Ryan just reporting 38 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: the death count has moved from eight to nine. Traffic 39 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 1: flood and that's the flash flood emergency warning that came 40 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: out that really highlighted that to death could be imminent. 41 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, Jeno, this is the second time in a month, 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: in two months rather that the subway system has faced 43 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: flooding like this, this more extremely the last time. What 44 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: is the mt A doing to prevent this from happening again. Well, 45 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: after Superstorm Sandy, we invested a ton in coastal resiliency 46 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: and are underwater uh tunnels, We've got eleven of them, 47 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: all been rebuilt, the pumping infrastructure, upgrade and start, and 48 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: they performed fabulously in this emergency. But what we're seeing 49 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: now is in the air of climate change, with the 50 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: extreme weather events, even the up the higher elevations are 51 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: experiencing this flash flooding. So we're gonna attack that even more. 52 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: The big problem is when the street drainage and the 53 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: sewer infrastructure gets overwhelmed, gravity takes water into the subway system. 54 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: The subways are not a submarine, and and and you 55 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: know it's not gonna it's not gonna ever be perfectly dry, 56 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: but we're going to start attacking these higher elevations as well. 57 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: And general or looking and we're looking at a situation 58 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: where this is likely to become more and more frequent, 59 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: and these fortifications have to happen it quickly. Is the 60 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: m t A sufficiently funded to make some of these 61 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: adjustments at the same time that ridership is down, at 62 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: the same time that the city is recovering from a 63 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: pandemic and getting people and ridership back up to where 64 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: we were before. Well, I mean, the first thing is 65 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: that this has to be done in tando, as I said, 66 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: with the City of New York, which controls the sewers 67 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: and the street level drainage infrastructure. So that's part we have. 68 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: We have to do this in partnership. We have a 69 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: fifty billion dollar capital program that has a lot of 70 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: resiliency investments in in our yards in some of the 71 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: low lying areas. But I think that there are some 72 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: things we can do in tandem with the city to 73 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: deal with this flash flooding risk, which is you know, 74 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: new to this era of climate check. One final question, 75 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: jenn if we can, and it is a way I 76 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: believe from this crisis and great respect. As you've mentioned 77 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: to the bus drivers particularly, you've had a changing of 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: the guard in Albany. Will you stay and support the 79 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: new governor Kathy Hokel. Do you have any understanding of 80 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: that relationship, the fractious relationship now with the m t 81 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: A and the capital up the Hudson River. You know, 82 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: I've had the opportunity to meet with Governor Hokel and 83 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: talked to her. We've been in touch through the night 84 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: on our teams have been working together. She is she 85 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: was a local official before she was a congressman and official. 86 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: She gets emergency management. She displayed that just a few 87 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: days ago when she came down to Uh to the 88 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: city after we had a hit on the m t 89 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: A subway operation. Um so uh. You know, she's a good, 90 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: great partner for the m t A and these kinds 91 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: of emergency management issues and more broadly so we're we're 92 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: looking forward to working with her very much. Generally, were 93 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: toll to you and all of the m t A. 94 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. He's the acting chairman and chief 95 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: executive officer as well. Stephen Roschudo is hugely qualified at 96 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: MASSOO to talk about the American economy and Steve and 97 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: I really want to take advantage of the encyclopedic knowledge 98 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: and go where John Farrell was going, which is industry 99 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: by industry, and to me, the supply dynamics seems to 100 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: be colored by the American automobile industry. Discussed that how 101 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: are autos right now for you an asterick an outlier? 102 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: Are they part of the American economy? Well, they are 103 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: part of the American economy. They're an important component of 104 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: the American economy. They have been declining in value as 105 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: a percentage of your roll economy for years as his 106 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: whole most of manufacturing. But you have to remember the 107 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: automobile industry is a pervasive product. I mean when you 108 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: consider all the components going into them, whether it be glass, steel, 109 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: electronic components, rubber components, plastic, leather, vinyl, I mean, it's 110 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: a huge supply chain that's involved when you're talking about 111 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: building automobiles, and therefore it's multiplier in terms of the economy. 112 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Is still very very important. And when you see a 113 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: retail sales numbers and autos like we did yesterday afternoon 114 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: of a big drop down in sales to about thirteen 115 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: point one million units from about fourteen point eight million units, 116 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: you really get the sense that this is where the 117 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: economy is losing some of its momentum, and it is 118 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: related to the supply chain, because this is what's really 119 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: happening in terms of the auto space. Stephen, Shooto, slow 120 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: news day. Let us make some news right now. Are 121 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: you going to reduce your Q three GDP statistic? Now? 122 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. I don't get into that game 123 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: of trying to, you know, fine tune it one. We 124 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: have all the data, the key source data coming out 125 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: because still lots of moving parts in there. I mean, 126 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: I go back to the days when a couple of 127 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: people from the Bureau of Labor Statistics who did these 128 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: components were caught for insider trading, trying to change trade 129 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: on the GDP number. And John does that. John trades 130 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: off the GDP number we see him doing and in 131 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: that result is they made absolutely no money because they 132 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: couldn't figure out what the numbers were. Because all right, 133 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: and that's and that's really the key issue they You know, 134 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,239 Speaker 1: unless you know the trade and you know the inventory numbers, 135 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: it's really really hard to peg down the GDP number 136 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: on a key source state of related basis. That's the 137 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: direction matters. And I want to go back to that 138 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley call ellen Zentner, where they downgraded the third 139 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: quarter GDP to two point nine percent from six and 140 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: a half percent previously. David Smith from Regent's Bank said, 141 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: this is actually significant, and the reason why is because 142 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: there isn't necessarily a material impact on the full year GDP, 143 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: but there isn't a mark up in the GDP for 144 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Q four. This is not to laid growth. This is 145 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: lost growth, and I wonder how much that is starting 146 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: to factor into people's assessment of this recovery. I think 147 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: you're a percent correct, and I think that's the real 148 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: key factor there is that this is not going to 149 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: be growth that's going to be reversed back. When I 150 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: look at the numbers that they've just put out UH 151 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: and they look at the big drop that they're anticipating 152 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: in Q three and then the bounce back they're anticipating 153 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: in Q four, I'm not so sure you're gonna get 154 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: that bounce back in Q four. There's a lot of 155 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: people who keep on talking about pent up demand in 156 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: this economy. There isn't really any pent up demand in 157 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: this economy, so you might wind up seeing marking down 158 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: third quarter GDP. Really marking down the year number in particular, 159 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: and getting people to really look at their two estimates 160 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: and begin to realize that those numbers are much too high. 161 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: We're still much lower than the consensus on twenty two numbers. 162 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: We're in the three and a half percent area, and 163 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: most people are substantially harder than that, and that's where 164 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: we think the risk is from the kind of losses 165 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: that you're talking about here for the third quarter. Meanwhile, 166 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: we're looking at a labor economy that still hasn't recovered, 167 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: and we're looking at millions of people still out of work. 168 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: The why, though, behind it is less and less clear 169 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: as a lot of the economy reopens. What are you 170 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: hoping to find out from Friday's from tomorrow's jobs report 171 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: to understand more the trajectory of what's keeping people away 172 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: from filling all those jobs, a record number of them 173 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: that need to be filled. Well, I think what you're 174 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: going to discover is is what's true about most of 175 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: these jobs is that people are looking for a specific 176 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: qualified person to fill a job. If you're going to 177 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: be in a work from home environment for a lot 178 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: of these jobs, and I'm not saying a lot of 179 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: the service jobs are work from home will have the jobs, 180 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: but outside the service component, you're looking for a person 181 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: who is plugged compab. You put them in and they 182 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: start working s a paid not in an environment when 183 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: you're working home where it's easy to train somebody and 184 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: bring them on board. So the net result is I 185 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: think this work from home environment is one of the 186 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: factors that is limiting the ability to find that specific 187 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: worker that we want because those workers are rarer. In 188 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: an environment where people are working in offices, there is 189 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: the ability to train get people up to speed. Now 190 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: we have less and less of that as an opportunity. 191 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: So therefore you really need to find that unique person 192 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: and that becomes harder and hard to do. It's finding 193 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: a needle in a haystack. Steve, what's the dynamic on 194 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: service sector right now? We mentioned earlier that the GIGA 195 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: texts are out twenty two of Standard and poors. What's 196 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: that mean for our service sector versus good sector. What 197 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: it really comes down to is we're driving everything from 198 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: a productivity standpoint. I know, you look at the productivity 199 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: numbers here in the unit labor cost numbers, and you 200 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: talked about the uptick in the unit labor cost numbers 201 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: that we've had here. The reality is, when you're looking 202 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: at the productivity environment of the economy and the increased 203 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: productivity that has been pushed into the economy as a 204 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: result of the COVID nineteen environment, it's understandable while you're 205 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: seeing what you're seeing in terms of the growth related 206 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: portions of the economy, in particular in the tech space, 207 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: because we're relying more and more on that technology in 208 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: this work from home environment. As you look at more 209 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: and more companies who are sitting there saying we're delaying 210 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: openings or making it easier for people not to come 211 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: back to the office after labor day or in October, 212 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: the net result is you're going to demand more and 213 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: more on this type of technology, and that's going to 214 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: continue to drive the demand up for that product. And 215 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: so I think it just very hits, very very much 216 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: with the changes in the underlying dynamic that are unfolding 217 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: as a result of the COVID nineteen mitigation strategy. Meanwhile, 218 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: throughout the show this morning, we've been talking about mitigation 219 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: efforts to some of these storms that are historic. We 220 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: saw what happened with Hurricane Ida over in Louisiana. In 221 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: New York City, the weather system actually issued its first 222 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: ever emergency flash fast flood emergency warning, not the fast 223 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: flood fast flash flood excuse me of warning, but emergency war. 224 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: Trying to look at how people are possibly going to die. 225 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: What is the impact on GDP, on growth, on the 226 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: resumption of people back into their jobs as a result 227 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: of some of these storms. You know, I will tell 228 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: you when we go back and look and trying to 229 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: ascertain the impact of any particular storm. Um, you know, 230 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: you can go back and you look at Katrini, you 231 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: can look at Sandy, and those were much much bigger 232 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: in magnitude. I'm not arguing that the suffering going on 233 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: by people right now isn't real and isn't important. It is, 234 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: but the magnitude of it in terms of the population, 235 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: the breath of the economy involved in that are substantially greater. 236 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: I don't expect to see much of a real statistical 237 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: impact at the macro level. At the micro level, to 238 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: a certain extent, you wind up seeing a lot of 239 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: the expense expenses that have come to recover from that 240 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: wind up driving the economy back to fill that void. 241 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: Very very quickly, which is why statistically we don't see 242 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: it on a quarterly basis. You'll see it in some 243 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: of the regional monthly numbers, but you won't see it 244 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: in the quarterly data. Stave good ahead from you at 245 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: don't try g d pet The message from statehot the 246 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: chief US Economists just springing Steve chevaron and continue this conversation, 247 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: so con federate to them. I support folio. I managed 248 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: to join just now, Steve, let's build on this. Do 249 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: you think we can get infrastructure down down at day's sake? Oh? Yeah, 250 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: I think. Look, I think the BI part is an 251 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: infrastructure bill. You know, there's certainly a clear path for that. 252 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: I think when you start thinking about the three and 253 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: a half trillion dollar kind of softer infrastructure plan, I 254 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: think there's a lot more uncertainty there, and there's still 255 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: a battle between the progressives and the model. But I 256 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: think we've got a pretty clear track over the course 257 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: of the next several months for at least that by 258 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: partisan one trillion dollar bill. You know, I would say, though, John, 259 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: I I could go a little while without one of 260 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: these five hundred year events between you know, once in 261 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: every five hundred year plague. You know, once in every 262 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: five d years storm. I think we've had our fill 263 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: for a while. Let let's let's just calm down for 264 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: a while. It's carried over Steve to your great abilities 265 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: to asset allocate. How do you sset allocate into a 266 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: once every five hundred years fiscal stimulus? Yeah, I mean, look, 267 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: and it's even been a little bit more complicated because 268 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: I think the way you you historically would allocate into 269 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: a stimulus or a large stimulus as you want to 270 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: be long in terms of cyclicals, you want to be 271 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: short on duration on the bond side. And that's been 272 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: the way that we've been positioned for the better part, 273 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, the last almost year. However, that really hasn't 274 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: worked since since since May, and and that's been because 275 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, you've had this resurgence of covid um and 276 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: and that's kind of put a damper on some of 277 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: those animal spirits. With those hospitalizations starting to peak, uh 278 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: and renewed spending likely to come, we think that that 279 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: trade can reassert itself, but you've had to have been 280 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: patient with it because it really hasn't worked over the 281 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: last couple of months. What's that is most important to you. 282 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about this as you talk about some 283 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: of the biblical types of events that we've had and 284 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: the idea that we've seen that reflected in some sentiment 285 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: surveys that have been coming off recently. I mean, what 286 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: catches your attention and makes you rethink perhaps a bullish outlook, Well, 287 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, consumer confidence coming down a little bit. I 288 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: think it is something to watch. It did that last 289 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: year going into the fall, so that was a little 290 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: bit of a head fake. But you know, confidence is important. 291 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: It's the middle syllable of economy, so we are watching 292 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: that closely. I think we're likely to get more certainty 293 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: and confidence over the course of the next couple of months, 294 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: and I think it really starts with tomorrow's jobs report. 295 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: If that job's report is at least reasonable, I think 296 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: that clears the way for the FED to maybe announced 297 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: taper as soon as September, and then we know the 298 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: rules of the game, you know, at least for the 299 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: next let's call it six or nine months. So that's 300 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: the thing I'm really watching state just quickly. This is 301 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: a line from Bill Gross his quote a ready out 302 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: for you, and he's probably had better be dumb with 303 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: digit plus arrass that could join the garbage truck. Are 304 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: you expecting decent ernings cross, Steve, absolutely, we had. We 305 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: had UH record margins in the second quarter. Earning's estimates 306 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: are moving. Are companies are able to pass on price 307 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: and the price that they took? You know, they're not 308 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: giving back. So I think companies are navigating these once 309 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: in a five year events, you know, extra extraordinarily. Well. 310 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: I think they'll continue to do so, Steve got ahead 311 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: from you, Steve Cheffer and federate today and put Filio 312 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: manager Pausania and Tom Keane with a lovely David Rosenberg 313 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: this morning with the Dow up a hundred and seventeen points, David, 314 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: you are the best I know it parsing inflation of 315 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: our audience worldwide says this is serious inflation. Why does 316 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: the FEDS say no, it's not. I think the FED 317 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: is telling you that we do have UH an inflation 318 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: burst that's caused by all the distortions in and around 319 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: the pandemic, which clearly hasn't gone away, and the supplied 320 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: chain issues, and they were fasturbated, of course by the 321 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: gargantean fiscal stimulus we had back in the second quarter. 322 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: What the Feds telling you is that they don't believe 323 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: that it's going to be a permanent situation. And I 324 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: think it's probably probably the most important thing Powell said 325 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: on Friday was the risk of making a policy mistake. Uh, 326 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, not by falling behind the proverbial curve that 327 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people are talking about. Uh, you know, 328 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: keeping in mind that what the said does today has 329 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: its maim an impact at least a year down the road. Um. 330 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: And if they're prevailing view was that this is a 331 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: temporary inflationary situation. Uh, they're not going to start to 332 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: tighten policy disturbed demand growth if they believe that inflation 333 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: is going to And I think that's really it's it's 334 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: really the state not inflation here. It's really is a 335 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: temporary or permanent that's the debate. Well, my inflation is 336 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: add to buy impair of glasses yesterday for afterthought, and 337 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: it was painful. David, Are we seeing incomes go up 338 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: to match the inflation and the prices going up? No? 339 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: In fact, you know when you're taking a look for example, 340 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: and then we'll get a fresh number tomorrow obviously, Uh, 341 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: real hourly and weekly earnings and real terms are actually declining. 342 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: And so what's happening against that backdrop, which nobody talks 343 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: about because everybody's got inflation on the brain, is they're 344 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: not talking about what's happened in real economic activity. And 345 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, we have we have a consensus that is 346 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: stubbornly near seven percent growth for the third quarter. I 347 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: don't know how you get there when you have real 348 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: consumer spending already built into the third quarter that's actually flat. 349 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: Uh so so real. So this is what's different really 350 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: about the nineteen seventies when you had radical unionization, pretty well, 351 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: everybody had a cola clause, so you were fully protected 352 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: against inflation. That's how you got the weights priced by all. 353 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: That's not going to exist today. Uh, And so I 354 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: think that what's going to happen here is that you 355 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: know what what what prices companies want to impose on 356 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: the consuming public. Uh, those price increases won't be able 357 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: to stick so long as wages lagged behind. And really 358 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: that's exactly what's happening. And Paul, the real economy issue 359 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: here is so true. And that Paul, you know you're 360 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: better at this than I am. There's essentially two economies 361 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: out there, there's everything else and there's the giga text, 362 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: and it's like two separate worlds, two separate worlds. The 363 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: real folks are seeing inflation at there. And and David 364 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: is interesting when we get the job's report tomorrow of 365 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: interesting to again, just a lot of numbers to part 366 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: and we talk about wage inflation. UM. Even pre pandemic, 367 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: when we were at quote unquote full employment or thereabouts, 368 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: we only had you know, wage inflation of three three 369 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: and a half percent. Is there something structural in this 370 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: economy here in terms of the job makeup that just 371 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: doesn't allow for meaningful inflation and in terms of wages. Well, uh, 372 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: I think that again, that's something that Powell talked about 373 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: on Friday, and I'm glad he did, which talked about, 374 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, the secular forces at play that are still 375 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: very disinflationary. And look when you go back to the 376 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: last cycle, and you go back to two thousand and ten, 377 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven, we had early cycle uh inflationary pressures 378 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: um and the same people are saying the same thing. 379 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: The FED didn't start the snug policy till two and fifteen, UH, 380 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: and so you know, we've had the situation where you know, 381 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: we have the pandemic. Uh, the incoming data have been 382 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: six times more volatile than they've been historically. And that 383 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: tells me that you have to take a grain of 384 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: sault in both directions. Um. But yeah, I would say that, UM, 385 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: that is still I think one of the big differences 386 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: between now uh and the nineteen seventies is you don't 387 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: have a labor market that is as protected through unionization 388 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: antro coal of pauses today that we had back then. Look, 389 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: there's there's no doubt that there's been shortages in some 390 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: critical sectors. Um. You know critical well, I guess mostly leisure, hospitality, 391 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: and retail. Um. That's not a predominant share of of 392 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: the labor market. But companies have been competing with the 393 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: government for employment because you know, you've been paid in 394 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: these sectors, you know, not to go to work. So 395 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: let's I say, let's let's keep it open mind. Uh. 396 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: You know, we're we're already pretty well on the precipice 397 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: of seeing uh, you know, these generous extended federal benefits 398 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: roll off, uh, and we'll start to see I think 399 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: greater competition for the job openings out there. And the 400 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: one thing we know about competition is that it tends 401 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: to lead to lower, not higher inflation pressures. So in 402 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: this context in the labor market, I think one can 403 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: assume that if these people, if if they don't want 404 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: to starve, they've got to come back and compete for 405 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: these jobs. I think we're gonna have in the next 406 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: several months and quarters at different story on wages than 407 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: we've had over the course of the past several months, 408 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: just because of the federal government intervention on this score. Yeah, 409 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: and David, you know it seems like table stakes now 410 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: for any restaurant or any you know, kind of retail 411 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: or leisure is fifteen dollars per hour. That's significantly higher 412 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: than what we've seen before. Um, is that something that 413 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: is going to move the needle? Do you think? Is that? 414 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: Are we going to see and an ear come in 415 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: here as people, as businesses reopened, that we will see 416 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: on the lower ends some significant pressure upward on wages. Well, look, 417 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: we've already seen that happen. I think the most dangerous 418 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: thing you could do in this environment is, um, extrapolate 419 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, the past several months into the future. Uh, 420 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: you know, we've we've in some sense you could say 421 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: in these sectors said a bit of a a wall 422 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: on labor supply, and a lot of it is related 423 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: to the pandemic and health concerns. Coming back to work 424 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: a lot of us because the government's been paying you 425 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: not to work in these low wage sectors. The corporate factor, 426 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: especially in these um labor intensive service sector industries, they 427 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: have been compelled UH to raise their wages for now 428 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: to attract these people off the couch and back into 429 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: the workforce. Question is that a permanent shift in the 430 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: landscape or is this something we're living with now? What 431 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: are we gonna be talking about twelve months from now? 432 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: You know, it takes me back to the summer of 433 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight UM when inflation was over five percent. 434 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: Oil is a hundred and forty dollars. Everybody was talking about, 435 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: you know, the supercycling commodities. Everybody was talking about inflation. 436 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: People tend to forget that, you know. In the summer 437 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight, the e c B under 438 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: Creche actually raised rates and Bernankee shifted UM to a 439 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: tightening stand in the summer of oh eight, so we 440 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 1: had over five percent inflation. The summer of o eight. 441 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: Everybody I was still to do back then was super 442 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: imposing that inflationary experience into the future. And where were 443 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: we twelve months later, the year of a Year Princess. 444 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: You know, I was running negative. So all I'm saying 445 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: is that, yes we have wage inflation, and now yes 446 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: we have a a in inflationary bulge. Absolutely, but it 447 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me that we're going to super 448 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: impose that into a whole new cycle of inflation. So 449 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: I line up squarely in the Powell camp that this 450 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: two shell pass. David gotta leave it there, David Rosenberg, 451 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. With David Rosenberg Economics.
