Is there sort of a dash up typically 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: at the end of the year. 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean typically, seasonally speaking, it's April, November December 14 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 4: are kind of your best months of the year. April 15 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 4: is obviously big earnings month and everybody gets our tax return, 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 4: which is nice and if you get them and then 17 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 4: then yeah, you do get that year end rally. Typically 18 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 4: tech actually does well into the year end. You get 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 4: the quote unquote budget flush of these big tech tech 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 4: budgets and that helps. So once we get through September, 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 4: which is usually a tricky month, it does it does 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 4: look up. 23 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: Yet, so smart guys like you are looking at a 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: lot of dynamics pro dynamics, and I want you to 25 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: address this. 26 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: We're not extended right now. There isn't this exuberance. 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: There isn't this frenzy when you look at a lot 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: of different mathematics describe that. 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, I mean there's there are certain areas of 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 4: the market that do look kind of rich and extended, 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 4: and that would be more your your AI trade, so 32 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 4: to speak. And then you have the rest of the 33 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 4: market which which does have space I think for people 34 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 4: to rotate into and own. And I think you would 35 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 4: argue Tom that like the earnings growth we've seen in 36 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 4: that growth AI area like largely justifies you know, the 37 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 4: type of rally we've seen in those stocks. So if 38 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 4: you are concerned with valuation, you know, you you look 39 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 4: at that number and it looks very high historic. But 40 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 4: I would argue that right now a lot of that 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 4: evaluation is being driven by a small cohortive stocks that 42 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 4: is generating tremendous amount of earney growth. 43 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 5: About small cap and value stocks or they are they 44 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 5: going to have their day at any point in our lifetimes. 45 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 4: Look, it does feel like we got a little bit 46 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 4: of a move in there in August as people kind 47 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 4: of tried to broaden out the rally. We think there's 48 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 4: a very narrow sort of set of data or narrow 49 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 4: channel for those stocks to work, and I think for 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 4: that to happen, you would need something that looks like 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 4: a reacceleration in US economic growth. If you look at 52 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 4: small business surveys coming into the year, optimism was near 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 4: a fifty year high. Unfortunately, uncertainty was also nearer fifty 54 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 4: year high. So you know, for I think for small 55 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 4: cap to work, the ball case would be, we got 56 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: the new tax and spending package, right, we got you know, 57 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 4: a little bit of clarity on tariffs, the immigration stuff 58 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 4: is a little bit better known. Once you remove those uncertainty, 59 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 4: can that optimism take hold and push you higher? I 60 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 4: would say yes if. And the big if is the 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 4: labor market, and we're going to get a lot of 62 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 4: information on that over the course of the next two days. 63 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 5: What's the sentiment out there from your perspective when you 64 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 5: talk to your institutional clients out there. 65 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 4: I think the base case right now, I think is 66 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 4: a slowing economy that doesn't go into a recession, inflation 67 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 4: that's generally under control, and a couple of ray cuts, 68 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 4: and that's a pretty kind of bullish mix positioning Probably 69 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 4: now you probably put it as something like eight and 70 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 4: a half out of ten. I mean, people are invested 71 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 4: and there is a view that the economy is slowing, 72 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 4: but it's not going to go into recession. The issue 73 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 4: with that is a slowing economy, you start to get 74 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: down close to those key important levels, whether that's payrolls 75 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 4: or other economic data, and when you're near a precipice, 76 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 4: you know there is a lot of risk and uncertainty. 77 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 4: So I would say maybe cautiously optimistic is the way 78 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 4: I put it right now. 79 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: I loved you in season two Billions. I thought it 80 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: was really good. Start Kaiser, you hang out in that milieu. Basically, 81 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: the Somersie geist is retail got it right, the fancy 82 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: people got it wrong. Let's readjust this September here. What 83 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: are the hedgsphoes doing, What are the CTA doing? These 84 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: are trend followers, folks. What are they doing? Do they 85 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: have a leverage exuberance? What's the tone out of the 86 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: fancy people? 87 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? 88 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 4: I think just what you said, a lot of those 89 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: investors are kind of trend following the one thing this 90 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 4: year has not had is a lot of durable trends. 91 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 4: Right We've had a lot of very violent reversals in 92 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 4: both directions, and that's been really, really painful for a 93 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 4: lot of those levered investors. So again, if there's an 94 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 4: area where you could add risk right now, it would 95 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 4: be in quote unquote leverage and people getting a little 96 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 4: bit more confident having that risk on. So look, those investors, 97 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 4: I think, as I mentioned what the base case is, 98 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 4: the base case is they're generally bullish, but they're in 99 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: a relatively safer, narrower group of equities, and I think 100 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 4: they're going to stay there unless they get really convinced 101 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 4: in what I will call kind of the uber Bowl case. 102 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 4: And the uber Bowl case is that Corporate America took 103 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 4: a siesta in the second quarter because of all the 104 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 4: uncertainty that was out there, and now that we have 105 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 4: more certainty and you're getting near the end of the 106 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 4: year when budgets need to be spent, do you see 107 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 4: Corporate America go on a little bit of hiring and 108 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 4: spending upturn going into your end. That's not a base case. 109 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 4: I think that is your bull caase story. It's going 110 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 4: to take some convincing, but I think we saw some 111 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: early signs of that during the last earning season. So again, Tom, 112 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 4: I think people are long, but they're long in a 113 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 4: relatively conservative way and they need some evidence to change 114 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: that view. 115 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: Stuart, thank you so much. Strict you answer with us 116 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: a city group. We'll have them on often here. Stay 117 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: with us.

The balance now a FED debate 124 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 2: and not just the certitude of twenty five beeps coming up, 125 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: but the inflation labor mandate. 126 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 3: What's that balance that teeter totter? What's it look like 127 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 3: right now? 128 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? 129 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 6: I mean it's on a knife edge. I mean, as 130 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 6: I wrote last month, it's the FED is in this 131 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 6: what we would call a sticky wicket, and the sticky 132 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 6: wicket is when the grass is wet and the batter 133 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 6: doesn't know where the ball is going to bounce. 134 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, So it is. 135 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 6: This knife edge. And the thing is the FED does 136 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 6: not want to see a recession, obviously, but they also 137 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 6: don't want to see inflation remain elevated. It has been 138 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 6: above their target for months now, years now, and while 139 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 6: it was coming down steadily. Where we're seeing the stalling 140 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 6: is in the services sector. 141 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Get out front of me in a wong coming up here. 142 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: September ninth, These BLS revisions? Is it? 143 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: Stephen englunder Wright at Standard Charter, This is a big deal. 144 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 6: I mean it is it a big deal? I mean 145 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 6: it's always it comes out every year. It's really important 146 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 6: to do. If it gets revised. If we see big 147 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 6: downward revisions, that changes the picture, right, and it's going 148 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 6: to have more weight because the Fed is either on 149 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 6: the precipice of doing one rate cut or doing a 150 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 6: series of rate cuts, and that is going to tip 151 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 6: the scales with regard to how much they move. 152 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 5: In your notes, Constancy say, tectonic plate shifts are causing 153 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 5: changes to macroeconomic growth drivers? What do you mean by that? 154 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 6: So we have so many things that are changing right, 155 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 6: We're in the midst of this massive advancement of general 156 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 6: purpose technology with AI that is changing the way companies 157 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 6: work is the downturn in hiring of new college graduates, 158 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 6: because in part of AI is that the economy is, 159 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 6: it's the way they're intersecting. We have tectonic plate shifts 160 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 6: in terms of how the US government is running both 161 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 6: commercial and security policy, which are increasingly intertwined, and not 162 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 6: just here but globally. So we're seeing a rise in 163 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 6: industrial policy, state nationalism, the US taking a stake in 164 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 6: intel for example. This is a tectonic plate shift from 165 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 6: the eighty years following World War Two, where the US 166 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 6: basically led what we would call a cooperation game amongst 167 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 6: its allies in the global economy. Now we see the 168 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 6: US retreating from that. We see China ascending. We had 169 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 6: the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting last week ahead of this 170 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 6: military parade in China. We had world leaders there Iran, 171 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 6: North Korea, India, Pakistan, Russia. You know, it's a very 172 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 6: different type of alliance and China is really trying to 173 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 6: fill that void. That is a tectonic plate shift in 174 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 6: the global world order. 175 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: YEP. 176 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 5: So what's I mean is is the US economy that 177 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 5: fed is it still the key issue for investors globally 178 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 5: to focus on or we saw like we saw earlier 179 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 5: in the year, you know, some assets leave the US 180 00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 5: and go to other parts of the world. 181 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 6: We are still the largest market, obviously in terms of 182 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 6: the economy and in terms of the asset market. Right 183 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 6: when you think we have deep in liquid capital markets, 184 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 6: the deepest most liquid capital markets. But what you're starting 185 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 6: to see globally is this tendency for countries to increase 186 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 6: fiscal spending, whether it's on military, whether it's on an 187 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 6: older population, right, And so you're seeing the long minds 188 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 6: react to this globally. And of course the US is 189 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 6: still an attractive place. But how businesses operate in this 190 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 6: new global environment I think is going to be very 191 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 6: different over the coming decade than it has been for 192 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 6: the previous several times, because I mean. 193 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: We're just a productivity numbers today. Folks are quarterly, they're dated, 194 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 2: they're distant, and everyone from Constance Hunter to anyone in 195 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: productivity will say, you've got to look at three years, 196 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: five years, ten years tendency. Do you have a handle 197 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 2: on what AI and productivity is doing in America or 198 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: people like you just making it up report to re Well. 199 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 6: I will preface this by saying, I don't think economists 200 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 6: fully understand productivity. It is the big sort of black 201 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 6: hole mystery. 202 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: I mean total factor productivity. 203 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 2: Now my habits with AI have radically changed. 204 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 3: It's like ninety four ninety five, am I right? Yes? 205 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 6: I was programming a spreadsheet last night and I was like, oh, 206 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 6: let me just double check because whatever I'm old, I 207 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 6: haven't kept up with all the Excel VBA programming. And 208 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 6: I plopped it into chat GPT. I want to program 209 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 6: a spreadsheet to woo do this. I need these things 210 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 6: that it kind of came up with with the syntax. 211 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 6: I plugged it. You know, I created a spreadsheet, I 212 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 6: plugged it in, I tested it out. 213 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: It worked. 214 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 6: It took me, I don't know, twenty minutes to get 215 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 6: this up and running, whereas you know, I don't know. 216 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 6: I didn't even know what the syntax was. I just 217 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 6: asked it what I needed it to do. 218 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: It did it. 219 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 6: I double checked it, I eyeballed it. But for that 220 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 6: type of thing, it is a game changer in terms 221 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 6: of productivity. 222 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: So should we cut your own here? But should we 223 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: cut Jerome Powell some slack because of the times we 224 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: live in. 225 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 6: I mean, we should cut Jerome Powell some slack because 226 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 6: he is doing a very tremendously difficult job under very 227 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 6: difficult servants circumstances, and he is doing it exceptionally well. 228 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 6: He is safeguarding that dual mandate and keeping inflation expectations 229 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 6: anchored while also being sensitive to the fact that the 230 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 6: underbelody of the economy is slowing despite extraordinary resilience. 231 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: Constance Hunter, thank you so much for the EIU and 232 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 2: also with the micropolicy perspectives. Really good perspective there on 233 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: the dual mandate of a FED. 234 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: Stay with us. 235 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: More from Bloomberg Surveillance coming up after this. 236 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Surveillance podcast. Catch us Live 237 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: weekday afternoons from seven to ten am. E's durn Listen 238 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: on Applecarplay and Android Otto with the bloom Work Business up, 239 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: or watch us live on YouTube. 240 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 2: Let us switch gears now Monica Gerra with this head 241 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: of US Policy and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, and it's 242 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: like this could be like truly a domestic one hour 243 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: conversation open question to get September started. 244 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 3: What's the number. 245 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 2: One thing and the linkage of finance to the Washington 246 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: uproar that you're focused on. What's the paragraph you're focused on. 247 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 7: Right now outside of terraffs because that's a whole separate conversation. 248 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 7: I would say, honestly, government shutdown because you have to 249 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 7: think about more. 250 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 3: Likely now right? 251 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 7: More likely now? We're really paying attention to that because 252 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 7: outside of this uncertainty around debt deficits that then you 253 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 7: add in some of the restriction that comes into play 254 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 7: around a shutdown that could create some additional volatility. So 255 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 7: we're kind of watching the marriage of those two events. 256 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 5: So where are we on that. What's the mortgaan standing 257 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 5: call in a government shutdown? 258 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 7: I'm I would say, I've you know, I don't want 259 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 7: to say bullish on it, but but I would say 260 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 7: compared to prior instances, there's a higher likelihood today than say, 261 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 7: the last time around. Now the one fact we will 262 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 7: get a shit that we will get a shutdown. 263 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 6: Now. 264 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 7: The one factor that could move the Democrats, you know, 265 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 7: forward is if you get a shutdown, then there's the 266 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 7: potential for the president to come in and start slashing budgets. 267 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 7: Now there is a window there where if they don't 268 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 7: move the needle on the budget, they don't get a 269 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 7: continued resolution. The president then can come in and cut 270 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 7: where he wants. 271 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 5: Who gets the I mean, who gets the political blame 272 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 5: that the government shuts down? Is it the government? Is 273 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 5: it the party that's in power? Is it the opposing party? 274 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 5: How does that play out? Because it's got to be 275 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 5: huge political ramification. 276 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 7: Typically it's the opposing party, right if you're if you're saying, 277 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 7: you know, we have this agenda, they're not coming to 278 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 7: the table. What you normally see historically is that Democrats 279 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 7: tend to be the good government, you know types in 280 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 7: the sense of not the GOP is not good government, 281 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 7: but in the sense that you know they're not They're 282 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 7: not willing to go as far on political brinksmanship in 283 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 7: some instances, especially as it relates to government shutdown. And 284 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 7: that's really led by a Schumer and sort of Pelosi culture. Now, 285 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 7: what we saw in this last the last time where 286 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 7: earlier this year, where Schumer did push the party right 287 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 7: to to move forward on a continuing resolution, you got 288 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 7: a backlash from Democrats right from the actual voting base. 289 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 7: So I think that there's a real tension here that 290 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 7: Democrats haven't faced previously, where they're looking for hardball versus 291 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 7: you know, dealing with the political realities that it could 292 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 7: give actually the White House more leverage to cut tariffs. 293 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 5: It looks like they are going to the courts. Yes, 294 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 5: how are you guys kind of playing this out now? 295 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 7: So for us we are base case is that tariffs 296 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 7: are likely to have and it's just how and how 297 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 7: much Supreme Court We do think that it's likely to 298 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 7: rule in favor right of the president. If not, there 299 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 7: are any other sections of tariff law that they can 300 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 7: use right there. They're looking to other federal authorities as 301 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 7: well as we speak. You know that they've said that 302 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 7: out loud right, that this is something that they're not 303 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 7: going to let drop. 304 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: From where you. 305 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 2: Set with your one, Monica, with your wonderful skull, I've 306 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: got to get the same We've got a ADP folks 307 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: at one minute. 308 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: But Monica greerre do you from where you sit? 309 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: Is there a basic idea here of the judiciary to 310 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: the rescue? I mean, every time I look at my phone, 311 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: there's another court case, you know, whatever? Is that what 312 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: we're going to live within it. Here's no's endless court cases. 313 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 7: I think with this environment, yes, because you have an 314 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 7: administration that's willing to want tools right, and when you 315 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 7: use one tools, you're missing some of the nuance that 316 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 7: then gets adjudicated right and gets taken to the courts. 317 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 7: So I think in this administration, we're going to continue 318 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 7: to see more. 319 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 3: Monica think you so much.

The other thing too, a lot of people 346 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 8: don't realize is it's probably still this way is the 347 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 8: end of year exams one hundred percent of your grade. 348 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 3: So you got to show up and have a good day. 349 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're me sitting there when you get the 350 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: differential equations and I just put an extra. 351 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: Movie, got Yeah. 352 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: That's how brut it's Ben McMillan, with this was all 353 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 2: that academic ability. You are a tangential to Vanak, who 354 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: literally invented how modern Americans invest in gold? How are 355 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: we investing in gold in twenty twenty five. 356 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 8: Well, I think the big conversation there is to just 357 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 8: put gold back on the map for a lot of investors. 358 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 8: I mean, we've had conversations coming into twenty twenty five, 359 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 8: twenty twenty four where a lot of you know, a 360 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 8: lot of clients, a lot of investors were still kind 361 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 8: of looking at it as a less interesting asset class. 362 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 8: And of course somebody sent me the Bloomberg chart yesterday 363 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 8: of foreign central bank holdings of treasuries were gold going 364 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 8: back to the eighties. And for the first time since 365 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 8: the mid nineties, foreign central banks are now holding more 366 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 8: gold than treasuries. So this is a secular time, and 367 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 8: this is this is a powerful shift, and it goes 368 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 8: back to the kind of the roots of Van. 369 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 3: Eck Austrian economics. 370 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 8: You know, when when the fiscal deficits and debt gets 371 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 8: too high, you know, montary machine goes off the rails. 372 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 3: Gold is the safe haven quick aside. 373 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 2: My book of the fall will be cast Sunstein on liberalism, 374 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 2: cast Sunstein writing up with love for Hayek in the 375 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 2: Austrian school of economics, nobody. 376 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 3: Saw that coming. We'll do that with cast Sunstein here 377 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: in the coming weeks. Ben look at your notes here. 378 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 5: Gold has doubled since twenty twenty three and could double 379 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 5: from here over the next five years. What's what's going 380 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 5: on there? 381 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 8: So again, it's I think the big thing to keep 382 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 8: in mind there. And you know, we were kind of 383 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 8: pounding the table on gold, not because they're gold bugs, 384 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 8: but we just saw a symmetri structural asymmetry in that trade. 385 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 8: And I'm reluctant to even reference it as a trade 386 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 8: because again we think it's kind of a secular change 387 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 8: in the world monetary order and manyway it's kind of 388 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 8: the other side of the bond vigilantes coin. You know, Actually, 389 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 8: Tom you on the show a couple of months ago, said, 390 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 8: is the gold market sending us a signal? And it 391 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 8: absolutely is, And it's the same signal the bond vigilantes 392 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 8: are sending us. And unless you know, when you look 393 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 8: at kind of G seven, it's not just America. You 394 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 8: know what's going on with long yields across the G 395 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 8: seven nations. You know, all of that really argues for 396 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 8: gold as a safe haven. There's a lot of factors 397 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 8: there at play, not the least of which, too, is 398 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 8: I think a lot of the shine coming off the dollar, 399 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 8: and we've obviously seen the dollar come off of a 400 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 8: you know, twelve or thirteen year bull run. But the 401 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 8: guest from acquired doctor Wiseman, I think summed it up 402 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 8: very perfectly where we talked about, you know, dollars now 403 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 8: moving from you know, ordered liberty to manage chaos, and 404 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 8: I think even that's part of people now looking at 405 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 8: US dollars no longer as the safe haven that they 406 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 8: once were and finding refuge in gold. 407 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 5: How about silver. I'm just looking at silver on my 408 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 5: g LCO Global Commodities price chart here function on the 409 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 5: Bloomer trambline. It's yer this year. 410 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 8: Silver is interesting because you know, silver and the Van 411 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 8: guys will tell you this has always been kind of 412 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 8: interesting because there's a more robust industrial use case there. 413 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 8: And I think, you know, in particular, if you look 414 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 8: at the silver to gold ratio, which is, you know, 415 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 8: one of the dozens of indicators we look to look at, 416 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 8: it was you know, comparatively undervalued relative to gold, you 417 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 8: know historically, So there's kind of a technical basis there 418 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 8: for an uplift. But I think also equally interesting is 419 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,479 Speaker 8: when you look at a lot of the Chinese demand 420 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 8: for solar panels, which they've got to you know, Jijiping 421 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 8: has big plans for solar These are new types of 422 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 8: solar panels that are going to use more silver going forward. 423 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 8: So I think that industrial use case now also has 424 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 8: a bit under it. But again, when you know, when 425 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 8: silver and gold start moving in tandem like that, that's 426 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 8: also the signal. You know that the bond vigilantwers were 427 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 8: sending us that this is inflation safe haven. 428 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: So you got to price move it up. What's the 429 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: persistency of gold held its central banks? Like is that 430 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 2: a forever hold or do you like sit up and 431 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 2: I go omg, the bank to France is going to sell. 432 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 8: Well, that is the big question, and that's one of 433 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 8: the reasons we're more secularly bullish on this kind of 434 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 8: shift in the demand curve is because again, if central 435 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 8: banks are buying at this at this rate, it's that's 436 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 8: a shift that's unlikely to turn around, you know, anytime soon. 437 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 8: This is you know, they're selling treasuries, they're accumulating gold. 438 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 8: You know, this is this is a bigger This isn't 439 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 8: a bet that a speculator is making or even if 440 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 8: you look at ETF flows, you know, that's obviously more 441 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 8: speculatively driven. This this logistically looks and feels much more 442 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 8: secular in nature. 443 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: We mentioned Van earlier. 444 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 2: The heritage shows like it was like John Templeton and 445 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: global investing, this was all new odd John Vaneck invented 446 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 2: it all and at that time, mothers held Kruger rands 447 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 2: in their dresser drawer. Are we back to that emotion? 448 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 8: I think so to some degree. And you're you know, 449 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 8: in the conversations we're having with clients. You know, I 450 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 8: had a conversation with the client yesterday and he's talking about, 451 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 8: you know, buying ten ounce silver bars, and so you know, 452 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 8: there is a very costco costco now exactly. So there's 453 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 8: there's that's very much back in the zeitgeist of just 454 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 8: kind of holding you know, American eagle coins or silver 455 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 8: bars under the mattress, so to speak. 456 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 3: Is there never too much econometrics? 457 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 8: I can I can attest there's absolutely too much econometrics. 458 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 3: And that's that's that's It's a folks, This is. 459 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 2: A joke making joke here, but a lot of this 460 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 2: comes out of the incredible academics. Good morning, Canada and 461 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: British Columbia. But a lot of people look at this 462 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 2: stuff and I've talked to Angel about it. The Nobel 463 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 2: Laureate and why you're Robert Engel, But you know, I 464 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: really wonder the value of the micromathiness of econometrics in 465 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 2: the day to day grind. 466 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you Nobel Laureate. You know, Robert Engel, 467 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 8: we that was my that was part of my thesis 468 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 8: at LSE. You know, for those that don't know, he 469 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 8: was instrumental in developing a kind of a novel volatility 470 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 8: model and we still use derivations of that in our 471 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 8: models TA. 472 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: Scarch every day. 473 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely, I got goosebumpsas I can remember when I 474 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 8: was coming down in flames with Garsh. 475 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 3: You know, we'll have to. 476 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 2: See Ben, this has been brilliant.
