00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: in Hong Kong, Thursday March ninth in New York and

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: coming up today, US equities sell off, notching their worst

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: day in two weeks as bank stocks tumble. Traders look

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: to tomorrow's jobs report and whether it might prompt more

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: hawkish action from the FIT and the Bank of Japan

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: may stand pat during Governor Harihiko Kuroda's final meeting, Biden

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: budget has increase in defense spending aimed at the end

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: of Pacific. The budget would increase US tax on wealthy

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: and corporations. Heads of US Intelligence say they don't believe

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: China wants to fight a war over Taiwan. I'm at

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Good morning, I'm de Prisoner and I'm Brian Curtis. Here

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: are the stories we're following today. Traders getting that US

Speaker 1: payrolls data for the month of February to be released

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: at eight thirty in the morning on Friday, Wall Street

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: Time Bloomberg's Michael McKee with a preview. January's jobs report

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: turned the financial world on its head. More than half

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: a million jobs created the government said, almost three times

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: what was forecast. The FEDS slowing the pace of rate

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: increases is now expected to tighten more and faster unless

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: the February numbers reverse course, and that is possible. Economist

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: say the January report was boosted by unexpectedly good weather

27
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: and annual statistical adjustments. It might be revised lower and

28
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: estimates put February's job gains back at trend. Another surprise, though,

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: and expect a lot of market turmoil. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Daybreak. AJA.

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Well after the bell, we heard from Oracle. The company

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: reported quarterly sales pretty much in line with estimates. However,

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: the cloud business really failed to meet expectations for higher growth.

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: We have more from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellet. Fiscal third quarter

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: revenue increased eighteen percent to twelve point four billion dollars,

35
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: just short of analysts average estimate of twelve point four

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: one billion, according to data compile by Bloomberg. Cloud revenue

37
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: the highly watched segment that Oracle has been trying to expand,

38
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: rose forty five percent to four point one billion dollars

39
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: in the period ending February twenty eighth. While Oracle's cloud

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: infrastructure business renting computer power and storage has been a

41
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: relative laggard in the market, analysts have been optimistic the

42
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: services are gaining customers and helping accelerate growth in New York.

43
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: Charlie Pellet Bloomberg Daybreak Asia Well, a former Goldman Sachs banker,

44
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: has been sentenced in the one MDB International massive fraud

45
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: scheme that story from Bloomberg's and Kates Roger Ang has

46
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: been sentenced to ten years in prison after being convicted

47
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: last April of conspiring to violate US anti bribery laws

48
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: and a launder money. The fifty one year old former

49
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: gold managing director and as one time boss were accused

50
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: of conspire with a financier to pay tens of millions

51
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: of dollars to officials to win business with One Malaysia,

52
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: a state controlled economic development company. The deals were arranged

53
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: by Goldman, which later paid eight billion dollars in penalties

54
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: for its role in the scam and is still subject

55

Speaker 1: Daybreak Asia and in the States, the nation's largest bank

57
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: has been ordered to turnover records connected to an alleged

58
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: sex trafficking ring more from Bloomberg's Tom Busby. JP Morgan

59
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: Chase has been ordered to turn over more records from

60
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: its CEO, Jamie Diamond, in relation to a lawsuit by

61
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: the US Virgin Islands, which accuses the bank of being

62
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: complicit and facilitating the late Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring.

63
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: A Manhattan federal judge issued the order on Thursday, a

64
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: day after the bank sued a former top executive, Jeff Staley,

65
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: whose relationship with Epstein is at the center of that

66
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: suit by the US Virgin Islands, as well as another

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: by some of Epstein's victims. Now, Epstein killed himself in

68
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: jail while awaiting sex trafficking charges in New York back

69
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. JP Morgan Chase says Diamond is quote

70
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: not relevant to what it calls specious claims by the

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: US Virgin Islands, Tom Busby, Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. The Bank

72
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: of Japan will keep its stimulus unchanged most likely in

73
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: this last policy meeting before Governor Harihika Coroda steps down.

74
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: We get that preview from Bloombergs David in Glaze Phil.

75
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Governor Coroda is known for shock and au tactics, many

76
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: economists do not expect him to deliver one this time.

77
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: The thinking is that Coroda will want to give his successor,

78
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Kazoo Auieda an open hand when he takes over in April.

79
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: The BOJ will likely hold a short term rate at

80
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: minus point one percent and continue capping a tenure JGB

81
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: yield at half of one percent. Both Coroda and Ueida

82
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: have stated that the two percent inflation target has not

83
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: yet been secured. But further to the surprise angle, Goldman, Sachs, HSBC, NBNP,

84
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: Paraba are among the few that think that Coroda might

85
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: just do it, that he might adjust are scrapped the

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: yield curve controlled policy. Will learn more later today. In

87
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Hong Kong, I'm David Ingless bloom Rick Day Brick Asia.

88
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: The KBW Bank Index down seven point seven per Sad

89
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: and Doug. Investors will naturally worry that this SVB story

90
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: might be some sort of canary in the coal mine story,

91
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: but two points on that the top six banks in

92
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: the country and even the next biggest twenty have been

93
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: forced by regulators to maintain very high levels of capital,

94
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: so many in the industry analysts like Mike Mayo would

95
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: say the overall structure is very strong, and two that

96
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: this is very speculative area that SVB was loaning into

97
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: startups and vcs and smaller banks are like any other company.

98
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they can run into trouble, making bad decisions,

99
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: their stocks can even go to zero. That's just the

100
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: way the system works. Painful for the company and as investors,

101
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: but perhaps not too far beyond that. Well, yeah, you

102
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: have a situation too where money that these startups raised

103
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 1: from venture capital firms get to posited at the bank

104
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: and as they burn through cash, which is becoming an

105
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: increasingly elevated situation. These cash burn rates are creeping up

106
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: as the economy slows down, more difficult to drive business. Right,

107
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: That's going to leave banks a little bit more exposed,

108
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: particularly in an environment where interest rates are rising and

109
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: there are concern over rising deposit cost and the bank

110
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: CEO Greg Becker held a conference call advising clients to

111
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: stay calm. However, the venture Capital firm founders. This is

112
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: the firm co founded by Peter til he advised companies

113
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: to take money out of SVB. Yeah, again an individual story,

114
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: but like you say, it does have a huge impact

115
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: on the banks generally because these higher bond yields, investors

116
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: have been pulling money out of the banks and investing

117
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: in US treasuries. And one of the reasons is the

118
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: banks have been slow to raise the interest that they

119
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: pay on deposits. So how they are managing that transition

120
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: is really important and it will shine the light in

121
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: the bank going forward. And we'll get more on this

122
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: when we get to our guest, Sheena Sistle, coming up

123
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: in a few moments. That will be after we get

124
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: to Global News our US President Joe Biden firing off

125
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: his opening budget bid amounting to some six point nine

126
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. Head back to it with Global News in

127
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: the nine sixty News from at San Francisco, Eduardo, Yeah, Brian,

128
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: there's very targeted emphasis on China competition here. A major

129
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: increase of investments in the Indo Pacific part of the

130
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Pacific Deterrence initiative from six point one billion to nine

131
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: point one billion. That being said, Congress appropriated eleven point

132
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: five billion for this year, so next year maybe even more.

133
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: It includes money for missile defense systems in Guam and Hawaii.

134
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: The whole package sets up a heated battle in the

135
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: US of our debt ceiling and government funding overall. Bloomberg

136
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: Joe Mathew runs through some of the asks twenty five

137
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: the tax on billionaires, a near doubling of the capital

138
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: gains tax, a hike in the corporate tax rate back

139
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: to twenty eight percent, and a higher personal income tax

140
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: rate of thirty nine point six percent for people making

141
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: over four hundred thousand dollars a year. The president says

142
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: those making less will not see tax hikes. So the President,

143
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: in a campaign type stump address in Philadelphia, says he's

144
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: seeking fairness around six hundred and fifty billionaires in America.

145
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: I was over a thousand, you know, with the average

146
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: tax they pay federal tax three, and he says they

147
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: should not pay less than a teacher or a firefighter.

148
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: Also said he would protect the so called entitlement programs

149
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: so security. My budget will not cut benefits, and it

150
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: will definitely won't sunset programs like some of my Niger

151
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Republican friends want to do secure medicare through two and

152
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: fifteen beyond now. The President says he's proposing some deficit

153
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: reduction measures, but Bloomberg math says in twenty twenty four

154
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: would increase from one point six to eight one point

155
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: eight billion, from one six to one eight. His request

156
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: well has little chance of passing in this form didn't

157
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,360

Speaker 1: to Ukraine and says it would hurt his growth, but

163
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: then turned and said, never underestimate China intentions when it

164

Speaker 1: White House spokesman John Kirby says about forty percent of

170
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: Kiev now is without power and says that could well

171
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: just be the beginning. Do you think the next four

172

Speaker 1: to six months is going to see more vicious fighting

173
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: on the ground in Ukraine? Yeah, the IAEA chief. Meanwhile,

179
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter and this is Bloomberg.

180
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm Bryan Curtis along with Paul Allen, and this is

181
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. Our guest is shanea Sistle, President of

182
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: ben Reyan Capital. So Shana A lot going on the

183
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: jobs report, the Fed's interest rate policy, in light of

184
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: this SVB story, the BOJ meeting. What has your attention

185
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: the most this morning? I think the jobs report more

186
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: than anything. It's kind of interesting. The SVB story has

187
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: coming at such an interesting time because we just had

188
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: Herman Powell testifying in front of Congress talking about how

189
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to be aggressive, that the economy

190
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: remains resilient and the job market remains tight, and then

191
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you have this major news and

192
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: all the banks sell off, and all of a sudden

193
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: there's genuine people genuinely concerned about run on the bank.

194
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: And this is a large bank, this isn't a small bank.

195
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: And then there's the job report tomorrow, and with all

196
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: the panic around the banking system, if the job report

197
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: is good, that's not good for markets. Yeah, it's a

198
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: very interesting situation, isn't it? And how does this play

199
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: into your opinion about the chances of a recession and

200
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: if there is one, are we going to look back

201
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: on this moment as being somewhat pivotal. Well, I've always

202
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: been of the belief that we are going to have

203
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: a recession. I've been pretty consistent in believing that we're

204
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: going to have a shallow recession. There wasn't and I

205
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: still don't believe there's a lot of cracks in the

206
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,479
Speaker 1: financial system that would warrant it being truly a devastating

207
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: type of recession like we saw after the Financial crisis.

208
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: But I do think that when you're starting to see

209
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: contagion because if you think about this, all kind of

210
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: started with the crypto custodians and then the banks that

211
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: dealt with crypto, and then a lot of the moneys

212
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: in crypto, in blockchain, and so that you're seeing, you know,

213
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: things spread. And I think Silicon Valley Bank is a

214
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: very unique situation. They are the biggest player in the

215
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: venture space. There's not really anybody else that has that

216
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: kind of exposure. But anytime you see a very large

217
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: bank of that caliber come under this kind of stress,

218
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: it can lead to additional stress kind of becoming pervasive

219
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: in the financial markets. And and so I think now

220
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: that's why I'm so concerned about the jobs report, because

221
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: if it's good, and all indications are it's going to

222
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: be a strong job report, it kind of puts the

223
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: feed in the corner. They kind have to stay with

224
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: the policy that they've they've been communicating. It may beg

225
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: this story about whether investors are more concerned now about

226
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: recession than they are runaway inflation. I think that that's

227
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: that's very true. I think so for instance, if you

228
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: get a week number, if you get if you get

229
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: a weak job's number, would that be good or bad

230
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: for the equity complex. I think that would be good

231
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: for the equity complex because I think that is one

232
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: of the key indicators that the FED is looking at

233
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: when making policy decisions. And one of the reasons why

234
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: they have started to look again at becoming more aggressive

235
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: and talking about fifty basis points instead of twenty five

236
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: is because they have not seen the labor markets become

237
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: weaker in any way continuously, a lot of tightness in

238
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: the labor markets, which impacts inflation. Where are you putting

239
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: money to work at the moment, and in particular, I'm

240
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: curious about your cash position. So I'm not a big

241
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: in using cash tactically, although I am using an HF.

242
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: The ticker is THHY. It's the agility shares TAY is

243
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: tactical income because I want to take advantage of yield

244
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: in the market, but I want to have some risk

245
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: management there. And that's a n HF that actually offers that.

246
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: There's another mutual fund, by counterpoint, that does something similar,

247
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: because I think there's a real opportunity, as you pointed

248
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: out earlier in your comments about the banks aren't really

249
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: paying any yield and so cash is not a good

250
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: place to be. That's a losing battle. You want to

251
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: be in fixed income, even if it's short duration, and

252
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at ways that I can do that

253
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: and have some some risk management there. That said, you know,

254
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: the market seems to have positioned itself for fears to

255
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: the upside for interest rates and inflation. If we do

256
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: get a weak jobs report, as you say, it might

257
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: be actually very good for the stock market. Is it

258
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: possible that that, because of positioning, that you get a

259
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: real big bounce on let's say one hundred thousand jobs

260
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: created instead of you know, more than two hundred. I

261
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: think very well, we very well could. And the job

262
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: market and the tightness of the labor markets really does

263
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: kind of make it difficult for inflation to come down.

264
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: People are employed, people are spending. There's a number of

265
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: other you have to increase incomes and salaries in order

266
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: to attract people to jobs because there's not a lot

267
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: of people looking. There's a number of reasons why having

268
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: tight labor conditions is not a good thing, especially for inflation.

269
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: So if it's a weaker than expected jobs to report,

270
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: that would I would not be surprised to see a

271
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: bounce in the markets that would be seen as the

272
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: markets as a positive thing because it would take some

273
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: wind out of the FED sales. If you will and

274
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: make it, then I think closer about what they do

275
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,960
