Speaker 1: vacation this week, so he's gonna miss a very prific

84
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: conversation now with Mark Grant, chief fixed income strategist Hilltop Securities.

Speaker 1: He has been UH one of the biggest bulls UH

88
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: so far over the last couple of years and continues

89
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: to look for further games and bonds, particularly the FED missteps. Mark,

90
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. Thanks and always a pleasure

91
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: to be with you, well, let's start with there's so

92
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: many places, but you know post, Jackson Hole Post and

93
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Fisher saying negative rates he thinks are working, ETCETERA very

94
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: interesting I think, and maybe a little more nuanced. Charlie Evans,

95
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: President Chicago FED, and Eric rosen Grin, President of Boston FED,

96
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: speaking on a panel. I don't think they're exactly opposed

97
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: to each other. But Charlie Evans focusing on UH rates

98
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: could stay low for a longer time than people thought.

99
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: According to his business contacts, the FED could move slowly.

100
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: Eric rosen gran a little bit worried about accesses that

101
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: could be building up in places like commercial real estate

102
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: as a risk of the FED moving too slow. What

103
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: do you see? Well, I think if the Fed does

104
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: raise rates, it will be a huge mistake on two fronts.

105
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: One Politically, it will be a mistake because whoever might

106
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: win the election is not going to be happy with

107
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: the Fed. If the Fed causes a disruption of the

108
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: American economy too in terms of the um economics of it,

109
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: if you look at what happens when the Fed raises rates,

110
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: it means that commercial real estate, residential real estate, commercial loans,

111
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: personal loans, everything becomes more expensive that are tied to

112
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: the short end and may throw the economy into some

113
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of recession. And that means that you're going to

114
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: get a flatter yield curve than we have now, or

115
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: maybe even go into an inverted yield curve, and I

116
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: think it would just be very negative for the country

117
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: on both counts. Well, Mark, I guess your argument if

118
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: you want to race rates pretty soon as you say, hey,

119
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you know you kind of look at

120
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: the jobs market. The labor market is growing just fine.

121
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: We might get a strong jobs report on Friday. In

122
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: a situation like that, we can afford to pay a

123
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: little bit more for the money they borrow because they're

124
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: making more money and they'd rather have more demand and

125
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: more business and making more money than than they would

126
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: care about keeping the rate little. See what I mean? Well,

127
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: there are two parts of that argument. One is you

128
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: have to look at the quality of jobs until you

129
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: have to look at the product productivity in the job markets,

130
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: and both are not very good. We've had some more

131
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: jobs added, there's no question about that. But when you

132
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: look at what kind of jobs they are, and then

133
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: you look at the productivity in the labor force, it

134
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: certainly looks less optimistic. And then again also I think

135
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: you have to look at the inflation rate, and with

136
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: oil now plunging down again, which has a big impact

137
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: on inflation, means the freads are going to be nowhere

138
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: near their desired goal two percent. So I think those

139
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: are the offsetting parts and the and the third big

140
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: part of it is what the other central banks in

141
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: the world are doing. So we now, according to Fitch,

142
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: have thirteen points in trillion and negative yielding bonds across

143
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: the world. Bonds in Europe and Japan are substantially less

144
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: yield than we have in the United States. So all

145
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna do is drag in more foreign money into

146
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: the US market, which is what one of the major

147
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: reasons I think yields even here going down because we're

148
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: the last man standing with the positive yield. Hey, but

149
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: the Japanese banking Japan might say thank you very much

150
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: for to reserve. We've been trying like crazy the week

151
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: in our end. If we have divergence, if the Fed hikes,

152
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: the dollar rises, and the bo J goes the other way,

153
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: it's more stimulus than the end weekends. They'd be very happy.

154
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: This is their big bugaboo. Well, I think the FED

155
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: is you may recall, is I'm not only recalls I

156
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: know you know, is the central Bank of the United States.

157
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: It's not the central Bank of Japan. And consequently, the

158
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: FEED should be doing what it can for our country.

159
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Plus whoever is elected president, they're both are talking about

160
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: very uh uh. You know, a huge growth in infrastructure

161
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: coming at it from different patterns, but it's going to

162
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: be even more debt for the Treasury, and the should

163
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: be trying to hold rates down to accommodate that. In

164
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: my opinion. Now, let's s the FED races rates and

165
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: you're right, and it's the wrong thing to do, and

166
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: the economy really slows down. That would just would that

167
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: just opened the door to another big leg of a

168
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: bond rally that pushes yields even lower, in prices even higher. Absolutely, Kathleen,

169
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: You've got to add exactly right. So we're bond going work. Well,

170
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: I think we're going to one at a quarter on

171
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: the tenure by year end. I've said that since around

172
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: February when the tenure was at a one seventy seven.

173
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: Were the one fifty six today, But I think we're

174
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: going to go back lower just because we have the

175
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: only place in the world, as I said, with positive yields.

176
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like we're the last man standing. And

177
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: then whoever is elected president wants to do more and

178
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: terms of government infrastructure and growth, and the only way

179
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: to really pay for that without causing even more massive

180
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: problems is the lower interest rate. So the Fed may

181
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: in fact at some point reverse course and add more

182
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: to their balance sheets than the four chilion they already

183
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: have about ten seconds. You're still a fan of closed

184
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: end bond funds. I think closed in bond funds where

185
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: if you pick the right ones, you can get about

186
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: ten or the best option, especially for any person right now. Well,

187
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Mark ran, Mr Wizard the Wizard, we thank you so

Speaker 1: Hilltop Securities based in Fort Lauderdale. What a lovely place

190
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: to be, he said. It would be a huge mistake

191
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: for the FED to raise rates. Now it's election year.

192
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna stir up a hornet's nest, and you're gonna

193
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: make money cost more, and that's gonna hurt commercial real

194
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: estate and residential real estate and more. I'm Kathleen Hayes.
