Steve, great to 10 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: have you in the program, and thanks for doing this 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: on a Sunday. We do appreciate it. I want to 12 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: talk to you a little bit about the FED. The 13 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: stance that we heard from Jerome Powell. It seems to 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: be part opium, part rational analysis. It's to be fair, 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: and maybe just part patients. I'm curious your take on 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: where we are now in the ballot between inflation and jobs. 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, good morning, Brian, and sorry to 18 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: hear you were at a sweaty weekend. The there's definitely 19 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: there is definitely that hopium element in this whole thing. 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 3: You know, uh, you know, you have Larry Summers on 21 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 3: Bloomberg TV, you know, on Friday night our time, basically, 22 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: you know, saying that he doesn't understand where where the 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: FED thinks that the neutral rate is. And I really 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: I didn't express it quite so eloquently, but I've been 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: I've been getting at the same point in some of 26 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: the work I've been doing, which is, you know, we've 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 3: got all this fiscal expansion. You know, you look at 28 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: you look at rollicking stock markets, you look at bond 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: markets doing fine, still pricing in big cuts. You look 30 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 3: at heavy speculation and things like bitcoin and gold and 31 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: other things that are non interest bearing assets, and you 32 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: have to wonder, why do we actually need interest rate cuts, 33 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: especially if the if the summary of economic projections is 34 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: now up two point one percent, which tells me a 35 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 3: recession isn't in the cards either. So yes, there's rational analysis, 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: but I do have to think that that you know, 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 3: he's feeding into this idea of this urgency that we 38 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 3: need to get to a more neutral rate without willingess 39 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: what that neutral rate is. 40 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, back to Larry Summer, is the one issue I 41 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: would take with his comments is, you know, he's saying, 42 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: why is the Fed in such a hurry. And actually 43 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: the Fed did not say they were definitely going to 44 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: start cutting rates by the summer. They said that they 45 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: were watching the data and that they thought that the 46 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: two months January and February. 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 4: Were a couple of months. That's it, a couple of months. 48 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: Just like they didn't overreact last year when disinflation was 49 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: happening over a period of seven months. They still, you know, 50 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 2: they still hung in there with their rate hikes and said, well, 51 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: we'll see. That's still what they're saying, right, we'll see. 52 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: So that's why I think the patience comes in. And 53 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: should we doubt his word that if the inflation stays 54 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: hot that they'll wait longer, or that they could even hike. 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: I don't doubt his word. I'm not going to say 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 3: that about Chairman Powell. But the thing I don't think 57 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: he appreciates is if he says, maybe the market here's yes, okay, 58 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: And that's I think really where it really stems from. 59 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: Think about the reaction to the December meeting. He confirmed 60 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: that we would that we you know, three rate cuts 61 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 3: would be in the cards potentially for twenty twenty four. 62 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: The market heard six, and you know, so this is 63 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: I think what he doesn't necessarily reckon with when he 64 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: speaks publicly. Or maybe this is what he wants because 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: it just keeps confidence high and maybe actually reduces the 66 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: need for the FED to do anything. Maybe. 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's where you got a point from. Yeah, 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 4: you definitely got a point there. And well there's this too. 69 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: I'm curious whether the FED and even the Biden administration 70 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: should be getting a little bit worried about the oil 71 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: price here. It has been creeping higher. We heard from 72 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: the IEA about ten days ago they increased their demand 73 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: for cap and they reduced their supply forecast. And you 74 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: know that could become an issue too, right. 75 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, you know that that when when I I've 76 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: tracked this several times where where I look at the 77 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: consumer you know, expectations for consumer expectations for one year 78 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 3: on one year inflation, it pretty much tracks the price 79 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: of gasoline at the pump. Yeah, you know, almost perfectly. 80 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: And so yes, that's the problem. If prices at the 81 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: pump go back up, that's not good for the Biden administration. 82 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: And a strong economy lists gas prices because there's more 83 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: demand for energy. 84 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: We we do have a story on the terminal that 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: suggests that investors are back to putting on trades now 86 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: that will benefit from a cutting interest rates, and not 87 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: just citing the FED, but also the ECB and. 88 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: The Bank of England and others too. 89 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: How are you positioning for, you know, the sort of 90 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: play over the next few months. 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 3: Well, one of the things that I'm that I've been 92 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: referring to because I've seen this trade to a large extent, 93 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: and I call it fomo insurance. What we see in 94 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 3: the options market is definitely options priced in pricing in 95 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 3: it works more aggressively purchased to the buyside than to 96 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: the downside. And yes there's a lot of speculation and options, 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: but still the options market is the best place for 98 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: institutions to put on hedges put on hedges, except the 99 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: thing that they're hedging is they're fomo. They don't want 100 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: to miss a rally. So if you've got Nvidia adder 101 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 3: near aal time highs, or pick your product added near 102 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: all time highs, you may not want to be putting 103 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 3: a lot of putting a lot of capital into it, 104 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: but you may want that upside. And we're seeing a 105 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: lot of traders and investors basically buying the upside so 106 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 3: that they don't have to put a lot of money 107 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 3: into products that are added near all time hids but 108 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: are performing so well that you really can't afford to 109 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: miss it. 110 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: We've got some time to circle back, but I want 111 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: to get a question in on Japan and China and 112 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: then if we if we have some time, we'll come 113 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: back to the general thrust of things on investing in Japan. 114 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: Chris Wood's a guy that I have read for twenty 115 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: odd years. Jeffries used to be at CLSA, and he 116 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: spent some time in a peace out late last week 117 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,559 Speaker 2: talking about how all of a sudden you're seeing interest 118 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: from domestic Japanese investors in their own stock market and 119 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: they've been net sellers for like twenty years. And you know, 120 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: I ask you the question now because the ni Ka 121 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: has rallied a lot and people are wondering, well, you know, 122 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: I don't know, is it has gone too far? 123 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: Your thoughts on Japan. 124 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: Well, I think what what you're discussing seeing in Japan 125 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: is human nature as it refers to the stock market 126 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: at work. I mean, you know, supply and demand has 127 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 3: a different as an upside down curve. It's the only 128 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: it's really pretty much the only thing I can think 129 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 3: of where the demand goes up as the price goes up. 130 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 3: It's completely the opposite of what we learn in economics 131 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 3: one oh one. And I think, you know, after twenty 132 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: years of being beaten down by the stock market and 133 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: it's lack of performance, I think it's quite encouraging to 134 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: see Japanese investors looking at their domestic markets, although it 135 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 3: probably would have been nicer if they've been looking at 136 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: twenty thousand and starting to look at forty thousand. The 137 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 3: other piece of anecdotal evidence i'd heard, and I can't 138 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: put a number on it, but I think it was 139 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: Eric Belchunas who reported that the Japanese government, thanks to 140 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: all their quantitative easing, owns about seventy percent of the 141 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: ETFs in Japan. And that's going to be interesting because 142 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: at some point you'd like to think that the Bank 143 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: of Japan would sort of take the profits on this 144 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: and release those back into the market. Does that put 145 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: a ceiling on things or do they let things get 146 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: a little euphoric If that institution is that international and 147 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: domestic investors coming back. 148 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: In Okay, now a place that hasn't gone up and 149 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: we can't talk about the greater fool theory is China. 150 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: And we had the premier Lee Chong opening up this 151 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: key Development forum. A lot of big time CEOs there, 152 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: including mister Cook at Tim Cook at Apple, but his 153 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 2: basic mess is to play down the concerns the Chinese 154 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: economy is okay, how are you playing that? 155 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: You know, I'm not one of the people who believes 156 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: that China, you know, Greater China's uninvestable, but it's certainly 157 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: you know, since the world is in love with momentum 158 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 3: trading right now and momentum investing, you know, China's basically zagging. 159 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: Well the rest of the world zigs moving sideways. You know. 160 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: On the one hand, I guess if you believe in 161 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: international diversification, you're diversifying if you invest in Greater China. 162 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 3: The problem is, it's really the one set of you know, 163 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 3: Hong Kong and Mainland of pretty much the one set 164 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: of markets that are not at her near all time highs. 165 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 3: And so you know, if you're a value player, yeah, 166 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: there's definitely. 167 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: Good time, right, there's some possibility. Okay, Steve, thank you 168 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 2: very much. Got a homebrew coming away one. 169 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: Of these days. 170 00:08:48,240 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: Steve Sosnik from Interactive Brokers take a closer look at 171 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: the FED and interest rates and the US economy with 172 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 2: Mark Heppenstall, President and CIO of Pen Mutual Asset Management. Mark, 173 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: is it safe to say that the FED is well 174 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 2: into now starting to think about jobs more and a 175 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: little bit less about inflation And how do you think 176 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: the balance is at the moment? 177 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: Well, Brian, good to be with you this evening. 178 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 5: I do think that last week's FED meeting where FED 179 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 5: Chair Pale I don't want to say he necessarily dismissed 180 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 5: the recent uptick in inflation, but I will say it 181 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 5: is hard to reconcile. I guess three rate cuts this 182 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 5: year in light of the projection that the FED made 183 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 5: last week that inflation wasn't going to hit their two 184 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 5: percent target until two twenty six. So, you know, there's 185 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 5: been a lot of talk about whether the inflation target 186 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 5: may in fact be more of a range now as 187 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 5: opposed to a precise target at two percent. But I 188 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 5: do think that, you know, last year, they seem to 189 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 5: be willing to sort of accept the fact that there 190 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 5: was going to be some pain necessary in the labor market, 191 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 5: and thankfully that has not at all been the case 192 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 5: with more than five hundred basis points of interest rate hikes. 193 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 5: But I do think that I would say that sort 194 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 5: of dynamic between inflation and employment in the dual mandate 195 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 5: is much more in balance than it was, let's say, 196 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 5: at this point last year. 197 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: Well, we had seven months last year of disinflation, pretty 198 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 2: strong disinflation. We had rates coming or actually inflation coming 199 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: down pretty solidly. It wasn't at the target, not even 200 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: near it, but it did come down a lot. But 201 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 2: I'm curious why so many people now think that the 202 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: two months that we've seen here, even given seasonal you know, 203 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 2: seasonal changes and everything, bad weather in January, why are 204 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: those two months like swinging everybody on what the trend is. 205 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 5: Well, that is that is a good point, because you know, 206 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 5: we've obviously come down a long way, depending on which 207 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 5: one of the inflation metrics that you want to use, 208 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 5: but clearly we've made a lot of progress getting back 209 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 5: closer to the FEDS two percent target. And I do think, 210 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 5: especially as you mentioned that, you know, the seasonal in 211 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 5: January tends to be I would say, maybe distorted a 212 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 5: bit to the high side. I think it was two 213 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 5: years in a row where January was somewhat of an outlier. 214 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 5: But it does seem as though, you know, the employment 215 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 5: picture is still somewhat out of balance, where there aren't 216 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 5: enough unemployed workers to fill all the open positions. Some 217 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 5: of the service sector inflation appears to be moving higher 218 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 5: if you look at the wealth effect with what's happening 219 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 5: within the stock market, it does seem as though even 220 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 5: residential real estate, it seems as though buyers are now 221 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 5: a little more willing to accept seven percent mortgage rates 222 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 5: than maybe some of the sticker shock they had last year. 223 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 5: So I just think there are a lot of factors 224 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 5: that could keep inflation above the two percent target. 225 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 4: Surely there's so much that we don't know. 226 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: Patients may be their key position here at the moment. 227 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: They do have the math working in their favor, and 228 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 2: it's working in the favor of the American worker as well, 229 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: because inflation levels are well below the Fed funds rate 230 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 2: at the moment, and the longer they wait, the more 231 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: the lag effect comes into effect. 232 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I. 233 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 5: Mean that is very true. And I was listening to 234 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 5: an interview earlier this evening on Bloomberg with Larry Summers, 235 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 5: and he was really calling into question the neutral rate 236 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 5: projection by the Federal Reserve and the fact that they 237 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 5: kept it basically at near two and a half percent 238 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 5: with last weeks dat plots and his estimate that it's 239 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 5: somewhere above the four percent level today. So really it's 240 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 5: it's just a question of how restrictive the Federal Reserve 241 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 5: is today relative to. 242 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: The neutral rate of interest. And I think there are 243 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: a lot of secular. 244 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 5: Forces that are that are at play here. 245 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: So again, I think even if. 246 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: He's right, even if he's right, and you know, that's 247 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: pretty high four percent, I think the Fed's at two 248 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: point six up from two point five. Even if he's right, 249 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 2: the math is still working in your favor. Right, FED 250 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 2: runs rate is five point thirty seven and a half, and. 251 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 4: So you know, it's it's going to be it's going to. 252 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: Be a sort of tightening measure that stays in place 253 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: as long as they don't actually start cutting. 254 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: Well, that is very very true. 255 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 5: However, if you sort of look at where the ten 256 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 5: yere treasury is today, for example, that that's awfully close 257 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 5: to a four percent neutral rate. 258 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: If that is indeed the target. 259 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 5: So, you know, I think the slope of the yield 260 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 5: curve is you know, clearly making longer term borrowing costs 261 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 5: a lot lower. And if you just look at how 262 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 5: easy credit conditions are today by certain metrics, and we 263 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 5: spend a lot of time investing in the corporate bond market, 264 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 5: you know, investment grade and high yield spreads are really 265 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 5: near the lowest levels since the financial crisis. So again, 266 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 5: there are a lot of signals today that says that 267 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 5: sort of this fed forward guidance, this communication that's tilted 268 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 5: clearly towards easier. 269 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: Money, has in fact already ease credit by s. 270 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: Do you feel pretty comfortable with Do you feel pretty 271 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: comfortable collecting those seven percent or so yields on corporates? 272 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 5: Well, I will say we you know, I think if 273 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 5: you look at the absolute yield levels today, we think 274 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 5: they look attractive, even if you think that let's say, 275 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 5: inflation sort of stays in that three to four percent range. 276 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 5: So I think there are a lot of attractive opportunities 277 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 5: in the corporate bond world today. 278 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: Yes, Mark, thank you. Unfortunately tied on time. Mark Hepenstall, 279 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: President CIO of pen Mutual Asset Management, Let's get to 280 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 2: our guest, Maja Bean Zaman, who is head of FX 281 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: research shit A and Z. Maja Bean, thanks very much 282 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: for joining us. Let's talk first about the Bank of Japan. 283 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: It seems like what they did it didn't quite work 284 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: out because we've seen weakness in the Japanese yet, and 285 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: I mean, perhaps we can argue that it did work 286 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: out and they sort of threaded the needle there. But 287 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: then this morning you had the top currency official in 288 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: Japan warning against speculation, saying that the action that we've 289 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,479 Speaker 2: seen here with yen is not in line with the fundamentals. 290 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: How do you see the yen moving against the dollar, 291 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: for instance, over the medium term. 292 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 6: Look, I think over the medium time we do see 293 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 6: a little bit of strengthening in the end, but in 294 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 6: the short term, surely we think it will remain elevate. Dollar. 295 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 6: En will remain elevated above that one fifty marks we 296 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 6: have seen previously. You know, over the past year, even 297 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 6: verbal intervention usually doesn't have much much of an effect. 298 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 6: And at the end of the day, it's really those 299 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 6: you know, dollar and rate differentials that are the key 300 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 6: driving factor of this currency pair. And we have seen 301 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 6: the dollar stronger over the last week, and that'speeding into 302 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 6: dolly en. 303 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: One of the issues seems to be that a lot 304 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 2: of central banks elsewhere around the world looking to cut 305 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: their rates at the same time that the FED may 306 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: be cutting its rates. And so, you know, the strength 307 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: that we saw on the dollar that we thought might 308 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: turn into weakness with the FED cutting now seems like 309 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: it's actually keeping the dollar strong, and so it's hard 310 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: for the end to really rally against the dollar. Is 311 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: you know, We've got a lot of variables there, but 312 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 2: do you see that that other central banks and the 313 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 2: FED moving and sync keeps strength in the green back. 314 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 6: Look, I think in the short term, especially over the 315 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 6: last few weeks, as you said, everybody's looking to cut, 316 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 6: it's going to be the race to who cuts first 317 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 6: and who cuts last, and possibly that's probably going to 318 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 6: have some impact on the way the dollar moves. Of course, 319 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 6: last week we had the SMB surprise. I think we 320 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 6: had a little bit of that driving that dollar strength. 321 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 6: We also had BOE now looking to sort of turn 322 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 6: a little bit neutral. You could argue RBA similar language. 323 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 6: I think all of that has lend some support to 324 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 6: the dollar. CNY again, the fix was wider, so all 325 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,719 Speaker 6: of this lending support, but I think that's not going 326 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 6: to be long lasting. We continue to maintain the view 327 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 6: that into the year end, we're looking at the DXY 328 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 6: at ninety eight to that's above four or five five 329 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 6: plus percent from here, and there are many different drivers 330 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 6: for that. 331 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 2: I guess the basic math is the FED raised more 332 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 2: than everyone else, so it stands to reason that they'll 333 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: probably eventually have to cut a lot. 334 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, And I think it's a lot of things right. 335 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 6: I think we had us exceptionalism helped the dollar over 336 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 6: the last two years, particularly, and you know, as you said, 337 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 6: they've gone stronger as well on the rate side, so 338 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 6: they have to cut more. But also I guess, you know, 339 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 6: the rest of the economies. You know, you could argue 340 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 6: about China where maybe the green shoots are not really 341 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 6: there yet, but then you know, in Europe they're starting 342 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 6: to see green shoots. The rest of the economies are 343 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 6: now starting to look better. Sure, we've had technical recessions, 344 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 6: so called Japan was not really there. You know, England's 345 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 6: behind the New Zealand, but that's all backward looking stuff. 346 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 6: Going ahead, I think the growth differential between US and 347 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 6: the rest is narrowing, and so I think that will 348 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 6: help the currencies of the other economies as well going forward. 349 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: How do you see bond yields moving, particularly at the 350 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: short end. 351 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 6: Look, I think bond yields front front end hels are 352 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 6: moving to the tune of what the FED says and 353 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 6: what the expectations are. You know, we were at technical 354 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 6: technical levels before. We're moving a little bit over from there. 355 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 6: And look, I think fects markets, which we look at 356 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 6: dollar is very strongly correlated to what front end shields do. 357 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 6: At some point we think that should be moving south. 358 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 6: As you know, we get more data, we're getting PC 359 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 6: this week that should give us some idea as well. 360 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 2: I'm a little surprised to see that you expect the 361 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: FED to cut four times one hundred basis points this year. 362 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 6: Yes, so we do. We are a little bit more 363 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 6: you know, I would say dovesh shirt than the FED themselves. 364 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 6: And I think, you know, inflation is coming down. Of 365 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 6: course we've had two months of higher inflation, but clearly 366 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 6: power has clearly pushed that back from where we see, 367 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 6: you know, the communication coming from the FED and the 368 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 6: way the direction of the inflation on allo underlying data, 369 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 6: and the job market is starting to look a little 370 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 6: bit softer, and all of that will warrant you know 371 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 6: that that that hundred business points of easing this year, you. 372 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: Know, given the dovish stand that the FED had, and 373 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 2: admittedly you're a little more dubbish than the Fed, but 374 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 2: still in sticking with the three rate cuts, I would 375 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 2: have thought that Powell might have been talking a little 376 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: bit more about slight weakness in the jobs market, but 377 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: instead he seemed to be pretty confident in job creation 378 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: and the fact that you know, it's pretty steady and 379 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: pretty strong. 380 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 6: Look, I think it's various indicators non pompios, of course, 381 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 6: are painting a fairly stronger picture than the rest of it. 382 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 6: When we look at the underlying data and we look 383 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 6: at the wage tracker, Atlanta wage Tracker and a few 384 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 6: other you know, the job openings and all of that, 385 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 6: all of that has retreated quite a bit, and I 386 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 6: think that will play into the data as we go along. 387 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 6: But you know, whether they go seventy five or one hundred, 388 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 6: surely you know, sorry, the FED will be moving pretty soon. 389 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 6: We think June will be when they start June July 390 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 6: or July is when they will start. 391 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 2: I want to go back to the Bank of Japan 392 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: because I've been thinking about this a little bit over 393 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: the past week about whether or not it might have 394 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: been smarter for them to say we're dropping yield curve 395 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: control and we're going to stop the buying of bonds 396 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: and you know some of the other changes that they 397 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 2: put in place, rather than what they did, which is 398 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: they dropped yield curve control, but they said they were 399 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: still going to buy bonds as they saw a fit, 400 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 2: and that's why the yen has weakened quite a lot. 401 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: Do you think that would have been a step too far? 402 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so, And I think, you know, it 403 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 6: was a pretty dubbish hike. And as you said, you know, 404 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 6: buj they continue to maintain to buy bond at the 405 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 6: same things they were buying previously. Now they should keep 406 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 6: its balance sheet steady, and I think Governor Yuieda had 407 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 6: mentioned that, you know, again not to shop the market, 408 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 6: but you know, they will keep financial conditions accommodated when 409 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 6: that's important with regard to getting out of that negative 410 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 6: right environment. You know, that was pretty much coming and 411 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 6: it was I think to me, I'm looking at it 412 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 6: as a one and done. The rage negotiations really fueled 413 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 6: the move a little bit earlier that we were first 414 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 6: thinking April, but came a little bit earlier now in 415 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 6: terms of when they're going to move next. To be honest, 416 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 6: we do see you know, I mean the economic conditions 417 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 6: in Japan are pretty weak. You look at consumption, it's 418 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 6: pretty weak. We're looking at services PPI, which is the 419 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 6: BOG watches closely. That's also retweeted. And when we look 420 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 6: at inflation that came out last week again it's kind 421 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 6: of retreating. So we don't think there's going to be 422 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 6: a sequential rate hikes story here. Maybe they might hike 423 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 6: once next to the start of next year, but that's 424 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 6: dependent on how data moves and also very difficult to 425 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 6: be tightening when the rest of the world is in 426 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 6: an easy cycle. 427 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 2: And I guess the final question on the Reserve Bank 428 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 2: of Australia a little bit less hawkish, but still more 429 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 2: hawkish than many other central banks, what does the outlook 430 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: look like for the RBA going forward. 431 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 6: Look, I think this shift towards I guess, as you said, 432 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 6: less hawkish was coming, and that's really because you know, 433 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 6: they've had monthly CPI data coming out, which seems to 434 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 6: be retreating. We look at you know, inflation from all 435 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 6: elements and surely is painting the right picture for the RBA. 436 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 6: Having said that, you know, locally here we are expecting 437 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 6: some fiscal easing coming through in form of tax cuts 438 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 6: starting from the middle of the year. We think that 439 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 6: the RBA may want to see the result of that 440 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 6: on consumption and GDP before shifting the doll and so 441 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 6: when we look at you know, they're probably the most 442 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 6: one of the most hawkish within the GPN, and we 443 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 6: expect them to only start cutting in November the. 444 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: Just briefly, yes, briefly, in twenty seconds, do you think 445 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: that oil prices will continue to rally? 446 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 6: Yes, I think so. I think the demand side of 447 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 6: the story from China is picking up, you know again 448 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 6: that's been supportive, and supply side is retracting, so that 449 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 6: point to higher our prices. 450 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 451 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 452 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: We saw China's oil demand in January and February those 453 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: two months pick up six percent from a year ago, 454 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: and that does seem to be adding to some of 455 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: the demand pressures.
