7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: I want to focus in on housing a little bit more.

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Danielle DiMartino Booth joining us now chief executive and Director

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: of Intelligence for Quill Intelligence l l C, also a

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: columnist for Bloomberg Opinion, and Danielle, before we go to

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: the Fed meeting minutes, I want to talk a little

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: bit about housing and what we've been seeing there, because

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: we got the disappointing housing starts yesterday. Today we get

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: a report from Zillo saying that rents have declined for

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: the first time since two thousand and twelve. What do

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: you make of this weakness? Well, I think it's a

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: simple matter matter of affordability at this point. Um uh Night.

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: Black Night put out an interesting report last week that

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: showed that in two thousand seven two in two thousand seventeen,

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: the monthly mortgage payment for a household increased by three percent,

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: and as we know, was in a time of very

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: rapidly rising home prices. But because mortgage rates have ticked

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: up so far this year, they're up sixteen and that's

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: before we had this latest uptick. Okay, so where do

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: you see how it's going from here? I think housing

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: has has has peaked. I think housing has peaked and

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: rolled over. Um. I'm a good friend with David Rosenberg,

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: and he and I were early on and calling the

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: last peak and housing. And you know, if you look

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: across the spectrum, the hottest, hottest markets like San Jose,

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: San Francisco um actually eight of the top ten uh

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: markets um UM in terms of losing home prices falling

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: home prices last month. We're on the West coast and

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: these are usually you're leading indicators when you're when your

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: hottest markets start to see home price declines. And that's

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: exactly what we've seen. Price leads demand and we're obviously

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: seeing a steep fall off in demand, especially if you

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: looked at those uh NBA purchase applications for yesterday morning,

39
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: we've gone net net year over year eight percent down

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: in terms of purchase applications. That's a twenty month low.

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Danielle speak about the automobile industry. Is that another industry

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: group that you believe has peaked in terms of sales?

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: What ms? Yes, and it's peaked so very quickly. For

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: some time now, the used car business has really been

45
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: holding up consumption, and it's been holding up the entire

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: auto industry because people were able to get a relative

47
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: bargain because over half of the cars coming off lease

48
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: in two thousand eighteen or SUVs, so you can go

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: in and get something for basically half the price. But

50
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: the inventories have shot up on used cars. The inventories

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: are going up very rapidly for new cars. And I

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: think that households has hit their pain threshold with the

53
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: average car price hitting record levels, and that the same

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: was the case with uth car Again, those prices are

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: turning as well. And if you look at housing and

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: autos in the aggregate, they always lead the economy into

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: recovery and into recession. Here's what I'm struggling with. I'm

58
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: trying to uh square this idea of a slowing housing

59
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: market a slowing auto market, the idea that households in

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: America aren't willing to shell out for a car, don't

61
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: want to incur the extra debt. At the same time

62
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: that small business and consumer confidence is soaring through the

63
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: roof to record highs, the leading economic indicators that just

64
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: came out show ongoing strength. It seems to be accelerating

65
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: going forward. I don't get the disconnect here. Can you

66
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: try to help me with that? Yeah, no, it's it is. Uh,

67
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: there are definitely cross current in the economic data right now.

68
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: A lot of things don't make sense. Um. But if

69
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: you actually look at the latest University of Michigan confidence survey,

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: home buying conditions and auto buying conditions have crashed to

71
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: the lowest level together since the early nineteen eighties. I mean,

72
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: we've already shot well passed the priority in terms of

73
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: how households perceived buying conditions for automobiles and homes. And

74
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: I think part of the problem is, Yes, wages have

75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: picked up off the floor. If you look at average

76
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: our learnings, they're up two. That's great, but that can

77
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: in no way offset the increase that I just mentioned

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: in the average monthly mortgage payment so far this year.

79
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: You just can't You can't square the circle. Well, Danyelle,

80
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: does that mean in your opinion that investors on a

81
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: panic now and avoid the rush later on. Well, I

82
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: think that investors should be very weary of the fact

83
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: that the FED is intent on continuing to raise interest rates.

84
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: Of course, we're seeing a cycle high today in the

85
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: two years, so I think those FED meeting minutes are

86
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: being interpreted right rightly so as being hawkish because so

87
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: many of the prior doves are saying that it's appropriate

88
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: to continue raising beyond the neutral rate, people like Lele Brainer,

89
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Charlie evans Um. So I think that investors should be

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: paying very close attention. I mean when when companies like

91
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: Lenar put rialto Capital It's real estate lending group up

92
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: for sale, When Goldman Sachs steps back from its direct

93
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: lending to consumers, these are all again, They're just there,

94
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: their red flags that all be right, that are being

95
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: raised that maybe the smart money is trying to get

96
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: out now. So just you mentioned the FED FED meeting

97
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: minutes that we got yesterday, and I'm looking right now

98
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: at FED funds futures for December and they are absolutely

99
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: getting slammed. In other words, people are quickly priced again

100
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: an extra hike later this year. What was it in

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: the meeting minutes that you think gave traders such confidence

102
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: that this was a hawkish Fed. Well, again, um, I'll

103
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: go back to the idea of the FED being comfortable

104
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: with going beyond neutral, the knowledge that J. Powell believes

105
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: that neutral is three and therefore you are implying one

106
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: to three or four five more interest rate increases before

107
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: the Fed feels that it's appropriate to step back and pause.

108
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: And I think that going into the minutes, I think

109
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: that there was a hope that there was going to

110
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: be a signal that the FED would potentially pause in

111
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: December and revisit come March. But again, I think investors

112
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: have to be you know, there's only a six percent

113
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: probability that the FED goes in January. But if Jo

114
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: feels like he needs to get this, and I think

115
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: he'll show the markets that he's scheduled press conferences after

116
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: every single FOMC meeting for a reason, So I'll be

117
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: paying very attention to what he has to say at

118
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: the press conference in December. Thanks very much for being

119
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: with us. Danielle DiMartino Booth, chief Executive director of Intelligence

120
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: for Quill Intelligence she's also a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion.

121
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: We're getting some conflicting messages out of Washington, d C.

122
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: On one hand, we just heard from Secretary of State

123
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo saying that we want to give Saudi Arabia

124
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: a couple more days to conduct a full investigation and

125
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: then we'll take it from there in order to determine

126
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: what to do over the the missing journalists who wrote

127
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: for the Washington Post. And now we're getting news the

128
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Treasure Secretary Stephen Minichian Minution has withdrawn from the Saudi

129
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: Arabian conference that was heralded as a momentous period for

130
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: the nation with respect to attracting international investments. Joining us

131
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: now to try to passe through what this means for

132
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: the relationship between the U S and Saudi Arabia is

133
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: Dr ellen Wald, president of Transversal Consulting and author of

134
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Saudi Inc. Joining us by phone. Dr Wald, thank you

135
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: so much for being here. So let's just start with

136
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: what is the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia

137
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: and how much do both sides have to lose? Here?

138
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I would I would describe the relationship between Saudi Arabia

139
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: and the United States as one of strategic partnership. I

140
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't go so far to say as the two countries

141
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: are allies, but they are strategic partners, and right now

142
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: I think the relations ship is rather lopsided in favor

143
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: of the United States. Actually, unlike as was the case

144
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: in Ninete, the United States is not reliant on Saudi oil.

145
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: Is still a component of the makeup of the US

146
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: all of the oil at the US imports, but it's

147
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: not an especially significant one, and I think that that

148
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: really shifts the relationship. Not only that, but Saudi Arabia

149
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: is trying to attract foreign business, in particular American businesses

150
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: to come to the kingdom to really jump start their

151
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: non oil economy. So I think this gives us quite

152
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: a bit of leverage in terms of the relationship. Why

153
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: is the United States and Saudi Arabia, Why is that

154
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: relationship described as so strategic by administration officials? What does

155
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: the United States get from Saudi Arabia other than around

156
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: what eight thousand barrels of oil? Well, we do get

157
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: strategic uh advantages in terms of the Middle East. Saudi

158
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: Arabia to support US efforts against Iran, and they can

159
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: be or they can play an important stabilizing role. I

160
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: think that, Um, we've been hearing a lot about how

161
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: important it is to use Saudi Arabia as a counterweight

162
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: to Iran, and I can definitely see that that would

163
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: be an important role going forward. But but hang on,

164
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: hang on one second, doctor, Well, is it possible though that,

165
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: in fact you described it earlier, said the United States

166
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: has the greater leverage here? Is it possible that Saudi

167
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: Arabia itself will become destabilized? Aren't they involved in a

168
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: civil war and Yemen? Well, they are, and that is

169
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: a big issue here because the Saudis see themselves as

170
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: kind of holding back these Iranian backed forces in Yemen.

171
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: But I think we need to ask the question of well,

172
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: just how good a job are they actually doing in

173
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: this and is this war really in America's strategic interests.

174
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: It's becoming up a political, uh nightmare in some senses,

175
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: because UM politicians are really questioning whether the U should

176
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: even be supplying the Saudis with the weapons to continue

177
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: to conduct the war that doesn't seem to have any

178
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: hope of succeeding. So, Dr World, I want to shift

179
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: back to the news that we got this morning with

180
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: respect to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin pulling out of this

181
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: forum which was supposed to bring in American and other

182
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: international business to Saudi Arabia, that they in a way

183
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: that they would like. And meanwhile, on the flip side,

184
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: Mike Pompeio saying, give them the benefit of the doubt

185
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: for now, not guilty and not guilty until proven. So,

186
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: uh so, what's your perspective? Why are we getting conflicting messages,

187
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: especially at a time when even Republican leaders are coming

188
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: out and saying this smells bad. It wasn't. What we're

189
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: seeing is we're seeing companies and now the Secretary of

190
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Treasury take a symbolic stance saying, look, this is an issue,

191
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: this is a huge public relations issue, and we're making

192
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: a statement by not showing up ourselves. However, just because

193
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: the executives aren't going doesn't mean or the top executives

194
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're not sending other people to this conference.

195
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: I know that some of the high profile CEO pull

196
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: outs are there, they're still sending a lower level executives

197
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: to the conference. So I think it's mainly symbolic in

198
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: that sense. And I do think what Pompeo is saying

199
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: is that we're going to hold off on any potential

200
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: UM retributions or any targeted sanctions. So I don't think

201
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: that they're giving the Saudis a free path, but they

202
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: do want to at least see if they can find

203
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: out what happened to this man and then determine what

204
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: measures might be appropriate. With Turkey as a NATO ally

205
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: of the United States, doesn't it present a quandary for

206
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: the administration to believe either what the Turkish government says

207
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: or what the Saudi Arabian government says. And this is

208
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: this is part of this huge conundrum, which is who's believable?

209
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: Who can we trust as credible. I think that there's

210
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: been there's been a lot of statements coming out of

211
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: the Turkish media, possibly pushed by the Turkish government, which

212
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: don't really add up. And the Saudis are not always

213
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: the most credible when it comes to um being transparent.

214
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: They're not very transparent about what goes on within their

215
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: kingdom for sure, So I don't think we can necessarily

216
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: count on them to be transparent. So it would be

217
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: very interesting to see what they do come up with.

218
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: And how credible or not that is well, And I

219
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: just I guess that if things stay the way they are.

220
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: How big of a liability is this for businesses in

221
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, including ones that you speak with. I think

222
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: that include potentially be a big liability, particularly the public

223
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: relations aspect. And I don't see that for for companies

224
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: it's such a huge up necessarily a part of their business.

225
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: They could pull out and you know, go find plenty

226
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: of business elsewhere. But for Saudi Arabia that could present

227
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: a problem. If a lot of American businesses just suddenly

228
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: pick up and leave as a result of the terrible

229
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: pr or as a result even of some American actions

230
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: against Saudi Arabia, I think it would be much worse

231
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: for Saudi Arabia as a country than it would be

232
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: for the businesses that do work there. Have you formed

233
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: an opinion as to what happened to Jamal kashog in

234
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: the Saudi Arabian consulate in is stumble? You know, every

235
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: time I think I have formed an opinion, then more

236
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: information comes out that then makes me question it. So um,

237
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: I really can't say at this point what did or

238
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: did not go on there all right, Well, I guess

239
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: this is going to be an unfold Is there anything

240
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: that we should be paying attention to just breathe fee

241
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: that we are not mentioning As far the U Saudi

242
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: Arai Arabia relationship, I think we should be paying attention

243
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: to what's going on UM Within the administration. I think

244
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: that they're probably trying to work out what the possible

245
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: set of responses could be. UM. There's definitely a tension

246
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: between these military deals and whatnot. But I do think

247
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: that we are potentially coming to a place where the

248
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: United States may have leverage to be able to put

249
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: some pressure on Saudi Arabia to to maybe make some

250
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: changes in the kind of things that are most bothersome

251
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: to us, like these human rights violations. Political. We've got

252
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: to leave We've got to leave it there. Dr ellen

253
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: Wald is the president of Transversal Consulting and the author

254
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: of Saudi Inc. All right, let's talk about active management

255
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to equities. Invest Go is putting five

256
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: point seven billion dollars behind active management as it acquires

257
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: Oppenheimer Funds, and here to tell us more about it

258
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: is Peggy Collins, us investing team leader here at Bloomberg, Peggy,

259
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: this is a pretty big deal, isn't it? It is.

260
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: It's a really big deal for two main reasons. One

261
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: because Oppenheimer Funds is this company that's been around for decades.

262
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: It's known as a stock and bond picking firm, and

263
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: they've been owned in the last several years by a

264
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: big insurance exactly called Mass Mutual. And today the deal

265
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: was it was a big deal valued at about five

266
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: point seven billion dollars. Where Investco, which is the fourth

267
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: largest provider of E t F products, so passive not

268
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: the active type strategies that Oppenheimer has, is the one

269
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: that bought it. So it was it was it is

270
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: a big deal because essentially, what they're saying is we're

271
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: making a bet that active management is not dead. So

272
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: is that the bet, or is the bet that if

273
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: you consolidate enough assets, it doesn't matter how much you

274
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: have in active management because you can just collect the

275
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: fees on passive funds. In other words, is this just

276
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: an economies of scale issue? I think it is in part.

277
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: But I do think that what firms are starting to realize,

278
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: or at least the bet that they're making, is you

279
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: not only need scale but you need something other than

280
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: low fee index funds and ETFs. Why because you need

281
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: to make revenue somehow. So if you can bring people

282
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: into the company or into your products via low cost

283
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: or even free funds like we saw Fidelity announced in August,

284
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: then you can potentially sell them something more expensive, like

285
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: your international funds. I say international because Oppenheimer Funds is

286
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: known for some of its emerging market strategies, international strategies

287
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: which do tend to charge higher fees. And just to

288
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: give the numbers here, Oppenheimer Funds has about two hundred

289
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: and forty two hundred and fifty billion dollars work assets.

290
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: You add that to what invest Go already has and

291
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: what are we at? A trillion four one point to

292
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: trillions nicely right? Well? These days you know a billion here,

293
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: a billion there are. So it is this also an

294
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: admission that the revenue uh capitalization for investments is worth

295
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: paying attention to because Oppenheimer has a variety of funds

296
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: that are not so much weighted based on a company's

297
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: market cap, but they're weighted on the revenue performance of

298
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: a company. That's right. And they're also they do have

299
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: some smart beta type strategies so they're they're betting on again,

300
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: like making a different mix of selection, whether it be

301
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: for emerging market stocks with a lot of managers spend

302
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: a lot of time on or in terms of creating

303
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: some of these smart beta e t f s where

304
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: you use different things than market cap to follow them.

305
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: So I think it's interesting. But I do think on

306
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: the revenue point, and to Lisa's point, when you have

307
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: more scale, even if you have investors buying low fee products,

308
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot of revenue on low fee which

309
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: helps you. So we're really seeing a barbelling in the

310
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: industry is squeezing out of the middle between those who

311
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: are managing over a trillion assets and those who are

312
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: really really niche players. In the middle is getting squeezed out.

313
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Is there anything we can infer from the price tag here?

314
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: I think it's a question mark. I'm not sure if

315
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: we know yet how much we can infer the stock.

316
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: The stock is doing well. Investco shares are up this

317
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: morning about three point seven percent so far, so the

318
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: market is reacting pretty well to it, meaning that probably

319
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: Investco got a little bit of a deal in the

320
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: market size. Well. It's interesting because when we first reported

321
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: the potential for the deal back in September, a lot

322
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: of analysts were saying, WHOA, that sounds like a lot

323
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: of money to pay for for an asset manager. Today,

324
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: we've seen asset manager stocks really struggle over the past

325
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: year in part because of this feed compression, but the

326
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: market seems to be reacting pretty well today to it.

327
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: So we'll see if they're really able to cut some costs,

328
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: make some cost savings out of it, and then continue

329
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: to generate more revenue with the bigger scale. And and

330
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: just to be clear there, the deal involves preferred shares, right,

331
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean this is preferred in common stock of invest

332
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: Go to pay for the deal. I definitely had to

333
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: get my calculator out this morning before seven am, which

334
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: was a little rough around the edges. But yes, because

335
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: this then means that mass mutual by getting stock, ends

336
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: up owning fifteen per cent of Investco. That's right, They're

337
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: they're ending up as a big shareholder. And yes, it

338
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: was a combo deal of about four billion in preferred

339
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: chairs and then eighty one point nine million in common chairs,

340
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: which based on the price yesterday, brings you of Investco yesterday.

341
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, um, yesterday brings you to about five point

342
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: seven billion. Peggy Collins, thank you so much for being

343
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: with us. I'm sure this will not be the last

344
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: time that we talked about consolidation in the asset management sector.

345
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: As many predict, there is much more to come. Peggy Collins,

346
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: the US investing team leader and extraordinary person all around.

347
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: The U S. Treasury Department has stopped short at declaring

348
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: China a currency manipulator. This as part of its semi

349
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: annual report on far nex change rates. Here to tell

350
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: us more, Stephen Englander, global head of g ten FX

351
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: Research and North American macro Strategy for Standard Charter Bank.

352
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: He is also a Bloomberg opinion columnist. Stephen Englander, thanks

353
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: very much for being with us. Does it matter that

354
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: the US Treasury has not accused China of currency manipulation

355
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: when President Donald Trump seems to be in a contradictory

356
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: position by saying that the Chinese have been gaming the

357
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: value of the Chinese currency you want in order to

358
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: gain an advantage in trade? Well, yeah, I think the

359
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: US is a difficult situation and certainly, um any country

360
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: that's not on the list, can you know, make a

361
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: case that they've been certified innocent of currency manipulation. UM.

362
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: And then actually the language and the report you know,

363
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: with respect to China and a couple of the other

364
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: countries was was not UM. Well, it was very a

365
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: matter of fact act and and and you know, quite

366
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: accurate in terms of saying that it doesn't look like

367
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: they've been doing much in the market. UM. You know.

368
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: But the thing is the currency manipulation law itself. Uh,

369
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: it's a very dated law. UM. It comes from a

370
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: period of time when um modest threats of sanctions from

371
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: the US UM would have a big impact on what

372
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: other countries we're doing. And you know, the two thousand

373
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: and fifteen law, which was the son of law UM

374
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: had the three criterion which are are actually quite hard

375
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: to meet, and no country met it. So it would

376
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: have been hard to actually come out and say, look, UM,

377
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: by our standards, we you know they're manipulating. UM. But

378
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: the the actual trade dispute has gone so far beyond

379
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: you know what this law was meant to deal with

380
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: that the the finding is not very relevant. Okay, so

381
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: the finding may not be relevant, but the market reaction is.

382
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are attributing the sell off

383
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: in the U n uh to this ruling that basically

384
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: traders are betting that China will allow its currency to

385
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: devalue more given the fact that the US has not

386
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: labeled it a currency manipulator. Are traders right? Um? Well,

387
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: I I think you know, I think the seven in

388
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: in you know, this sort of hard read line of

389
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: seven was always more in traders minds than than anywhere else.

390
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, that means seven U per dollar

391
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: and currently where at six point nine five per dollar Carran. Yeah,

392
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it's it's genuinely the case

393
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: that the you know, the Chinese want the currency to

394
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: be stable. But you know, again it doesn't mean in

395
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: all times, in all places and under all circumstances. Um.

396
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: But the I think it's a stretch to say that

397
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: not being named a manipulator changes their decision you know, parameters,

398
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: to any significant degree. I mean, um, I think it's

399
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: all things being equal to the U s we have

400
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: just as soon not had to issue this report because

401
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: it was it's clear doesn't do the much good. Um.

402
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: And it's it's it's dated as a as a as

403
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: a tool for trade negotiations or currency negotiations. Stephen Englander,

404
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned that there are other countries mentioned in the report,

405
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: for example the Euro appearing undervalued and Germany being called out. Yes,

406
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: and and the promin calling out Germany is that they

407
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: don't have a currency. Um, you know, they're subject to

408
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: you know, their currency moves subject to what the the

409
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: ECB decides. But truly the U. S. Treasury knows that, well,

410
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: they know that. But that's kind of not you know,

411
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: not the way the law is written. Right, So is

412
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: this a political document at this point? You know, I'd

413
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: say it's more anachronism. It dates back from a period

414
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: where this sort of pressure would be enough to get

415
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, certain countries or currencies to change their policies.

416
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: But the I'd say that the tone of negotiations has become,

417
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: um so much more intense that this doesn't contribute much,

418
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: um what you do see. And again the the they're

419
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: very professional people at the Treasury. What they're saying is,

420
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: look at it would be better in our view if

421
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: domestic demand was stronger in Europe, if they were more

422
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: aggressive and pushing a growth agenda, and that would push

423
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: up the rates and that would sort of automatically um,

424
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: appreciate their currency or put up word pressure on the

425
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: currency so they rate it carefully. So Steve, just real

426
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: quick here, I'm just wondering before we let you go.

427
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: The dollar it is strengthening for a second day. I'm

428
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: just wondering, do you think this will continue into the

429
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: year end? UM. Look, I think the dollar is going

430
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: to have difficulty. I think that the um deficits are

431
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: already weighing the dollar because we know there's a reckoning

432
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: as soon as the business cycle begins to slow and

433
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: the market seems to be looking beyond two thousand nineteen,

434
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: when we know that the FETE is going to be hiking,

435
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: they're looking to what the FET is going to be

436
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: doing in one and there. The expectation is the ECB

437
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: will be hiking and the FET will be flat, so

438
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: that that's preventing the dollar from moving as far as

439
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: that normally would on on this kind of great move.

440
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us. Steve Englander,
