1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. The single best idea

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: which is to avoid this historic storm, Rob Carroll, and

3
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: it was fabulous today. He made very clear that the

4
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: elements of the storm, the foundations of the storm, are

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: all the way across the nation to Catalina Island in

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I was stunned by that. But that's why

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: you know he's so famous. Is the linkages here of

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: how you get a polar vortex, or how the winds

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: affect Abilene, Texas, and on and on. We thank Rob

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: Carroll and for terrific coverage. You'll do much more here

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: in the coming days as the storm evolves over six, seven,

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: eight days, and then even after that some historic cold

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: is well. Rebecca Patterson showed up with the counts on

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: foreign relations her recent essay in the Financial Times, the

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: senior Fellow from CFR, Rebecca Patterson on the dollar at

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: this moment.

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: I think the important thing about the dollar is timeframe

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: and degree. You know, a lot of the media coverage

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: this week with the threats of possible military intervention to

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: acquire Greenland against its will and then the backing off it.

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: You saw some market reaction, but it was really just

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: a one day sell America and everyone saying, well, gosh,

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: no one sold treasuries. Everything's fine, it's all hype like, No,

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: it's not. It's time frame. What we're seeing is a

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: slow erosion of confidence in dollar based assets. This is

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: something that will play out over years, not a day

27
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: or a week or a month. But it's happening.

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: Just brilliant, and I want to frame there is. Rebecca

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Patterson correctly said the lot of the reporting was treasures

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: didn't do much and the answers they did. A question

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: is where in the curve short term market was very stable.

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: That's q FED influence the economic data that Michael McKee's

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: so good at. But farther out there was some movement

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: in the thirty year bond. Some people would say it

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: used to be the benchmark thirty year bond yield up,

36
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: price down, began to approach five percent. Now it's turned

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: around from that to a four point eighty six I'm

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: guessing at right now. But out in the curve, even

39
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: you know Japan, that's true, but even in the US,

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: out in the curve, you can watch there as almost

41
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: a litmus paper of what the bond vigilantes are thinking

42
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: about Rebecca Patterson is thinking about tariffs. Martha Gimble just

43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: phenomenal at the Budget lab at yelled lots of good

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: work on tariffs recently. What would be the shock from

45
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court the outcome for your favorite tariff.

46
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: I always look at the intersection of geopolitics, the economy,

47
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: and financial markets because they all influence each other. One

48
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: of the things I'm looking at now ahead of the

49
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Supreme Court decision about US tariffs is if we reduce

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: the tariffs, take them off, shift them around, how does

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: that translate into the affordability narrative in the United States?

52
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: If tariffs are removed, do we actually see any price

53
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: change that benefits you as consumers? How does that play

54
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: out in the midterm election. So again, as looking at

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: all these connections.

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Rebecca Patterson, I really want to say some of that's

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: the so called think tanks that I lean on every day.

58
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, all of us are reading them voraciously here

59
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: at Bloomberg. But I really want to do a shout

60
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: at Adam Posen and the Peterson Institute just on fire

61
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: at recently David Wessel writing up a storm at the

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Brookings Institute as well. In Rebecca Patterson providing leadership at

63
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: the Council on Foreign Relations. Mister Frohman and company have

64
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: just done an outstanding job staggering from story to story

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: in our international relations. And again look to Bloomberg Opinion

66
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: Lionel Laurent. I'll get that out on Twitter and LinkedIn.

67
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Laurent particularly good off the Paris desk today, on all

68
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: that's going on on podcasts on Apple, on Spotify, and

69
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: on YouTube podcasts. It's single best idea
