8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: We're joined by Andy Brown, editorial director for the Bloomberg

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: New Economy. So, Andy, let's trade is right back on

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: the front burner for the market's given President Trump's treet

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: tweet yesterday. Just give us your sense of kind of

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: what we've experienced so far with the tariffs. Are the

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: tariffs working? Is it advancing our trade goals? Do you believe? No,

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: they're not working. So what we're learning we just heard

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: from Larry Cudlo that they were working right well, if

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: they were working, China would have bent by now, and

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: China has not budged at all. In fact, what we're

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: hearing is that China didn't make any additional offers at all.

19
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: UH in the latest round of talks, and this latest

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: temper cent threatened temper cent tariffs on three D billion

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: will have about as much effect as the last bunch

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: of tariffs on two D and fifty billion dollars. Trump

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: is a is a one trick pony as tarots or

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: tariffs or tariffs, he's tariff man, and he's doubling down

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: on them. So I guess that I want to just

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: offer up the other view to this. People would say

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: that it has been working, that China's economy has slowed

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: more than people would have otherwise predicted based on the tariffs,

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: and that they've had to engage in further stimulus to

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: counteract that, which leaves them with less ammunition to counter

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: their slow down going forward. I mean, what do you

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: say to those arguments? Well, I would say, as look

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: at the Chinese economy. Sure that the economy is slowing,

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: it probably would have slowed anyway it needed to slow. Um.

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: I would also say, look at the resilience of the

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: Chinese economy, and there's a lot more that they can do.

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: They can cut interest rates, they can ramp up lending,

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: they can offer support to small medium sized enterprises, the

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: ones that are going to be hurt by this latest

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: round of tariffs. They've got plenty of ammunition left. But

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: more to the point, they're just not going to bend

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: to Trump's will. So right now, the entire Chinese leadership

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: has decamped for the summer to Bay die Her, this

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: seaside resort near Beijing, to talk about strategy. You can

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: guarantee that this is going to be right at the

46
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: top of their agenda. Can you imagine at this point

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: a conversation she jimping, standing up and saying to this group, Okay, guys,

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: the game is up right. We don't have any option.

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: We're just going to have to force ourselves to undertake

50
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: really painful adjustments to our economy which Trump is demanding,

51
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: even though we think this is going to be a

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: really bad idea and could be and could be damaging.

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: And then, by the way, we're going to have to

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: explain this historic capitulation to the Chinese people won't have happened.

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: So you mentioned that you recently came back from Hong Kong,

56
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: So do you have a sense, I'm guessing you're spending

57
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: time over that part of the world, you have a

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: sense of what the Chinese really want in a deal

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: realistically what they want and that they think they can

60
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: actually get. Well, the the you know, the the Hong Kong,

61
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: the Hong Kong situation is now aggravating everything else. So

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: what you're hearing, the rhetoric you're hearing from the Chinese

63
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: propaganda outlets is that the American black hands are behind

64
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: this protest. And by the way, Trump very unhelpfully yesterday

65
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: picked up all kinds of Chinese communist body talking points

66
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: describing these protests in Hong Kong where two million people

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: took to the streets against this extradition law, as riots,

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: and he said, basically, it's nothing to do with us.

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: China can fix it. Hong Kong is a part of China.

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Uh and and and so the worst possible thing he

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: could have said at this point. So we're now getting

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: a sense that China does plan to retaliate against any

73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: sational tariffs at President Trump does implement them. What do

74
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: you expect in terms of how that retaliation will look. Yeah, well,

75
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: you see, they can't really retaliate in kind because they

76
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: run out of goods to to put tariffs on. America

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: just doesn't sell enough stuff to China's So what we

78
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: can expect is American companies to take a look at

79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: Look at the Boeing share price right there there in

80
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: the middle now, or the end stages of negotiating a

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: huge fleet sale to the Chinese. Don't hold your breath.

82
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I can't see that being signed

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: under the present circumstances. Companies like FedEx, for instance, which

84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: are already in hot water for mishandling this package that

85
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: was supposed to have been sent to Huawei. Maybe maybe

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: they come, Maybe they roll out there so called Unreliable

87
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Entities list, essentially a hit list of American companies. FedEx

88
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: may well be on such a list. Uh, forget about

89
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: purchases of oil seeds, grains, cottons. China had just started

90
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: to buy a bit of that. That won't be happening either,

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: so you know, and just generally making life really miserable

92
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: for American companies and the lot they can do without

93
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: formal sanctions. I'm just looking right now at some of

94
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: the share prices and the commodities that you're mentioning. Interestingly,

95
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: Bowing shares are slightly up, soybean prices are slightly up.

96
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: So either markets are not taking this seriously or people

97
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: think that this has already been priced in. Well, I mean,

98
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, these prices are up and down. Bowing took bowing.

99
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Bowing took a hit yesterday on the New Spin its

100
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: Own World of Hurt. Sure. Look, I mean China will

101
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: have to respond in some fashion. And and you know,

102
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: since they since they honestly cut, since they cannot even

103
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: if they wanted to put on more tariffs. I think

104
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: these direct threats to individual US companies to make them

105
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: feel the pain is probably what we should expect. You

106
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: can read more on all of these things and other

107
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: stories from the Brook Opinion, a Bloomberg dot com slash opinion.

108
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: Uh Andy Brown, thank you so much for being with us.

109
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: We have been getting earnings out of the big gas giants.

110
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: I guess you would say, I know, Paul, they're giving

111
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: me a look. I mean, honestly, between the solar system

112
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: studying in my home household and the fact that I

113
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: have two young boys, that's that's where my mind goes.

114
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: I do want to talk, though, more broadly, about what's

115
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: going on in oil, because it's been frankly a wild ride,

116
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: and to help us pass through not only the earnings

117
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: from Chevron and Exxon and others. But also what we're

118
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: seeing in the crude market is John Kilda, founding partner

119
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: of Again Capital, joining us on the phone. John. Let's

120
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: just start with the wild ride. Yesterday we saw the

121
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: biggest plunge and crewed in four years, dropping about eight percent.

122
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: Today you're seeing a bit of a rebound. How much

123
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: would additional tariffs really crimp the value of oil? First

124
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: of all, good morning, but very much. I mean, I've

125
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: been saying for a while that the the U. S.

126
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: China trade war has had an outsized effect on the

127
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: oil market, on energy pricing because it's been hitting the

128
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: Asian economic region Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, Indonesia, UH

129
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: the hardest and the slowed slowing economic activity there, Every

130
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: measure that comes out manufacturing, p M, I, S, G, D,

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: p S, exports, you name it, all have been really

132
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: on a on a terrific down slope, and that goes

133
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: to the heart of the energy demand growth outlook. It's

134
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: been hollowed out to a great degree by this economic slowing. So, uh,

135
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: you want to ratchet up the trade war more, it's

136
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: going to ratchet down demand growth more. And that's why

137
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: you're seeing these prices come under such pressure, and John, I,

138
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, we've all seen I think reports that Iranian

139
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: oil tankers have been quietly offloading their supply into Chinese ports.

140
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: That seems like a risky strategy for the Chinese. What

141
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: do you think is going on there? It's actually, um,

142
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: they're being quite clever about it while they're they're what

143
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: they're doing is the the Iranian tankers, not to get

144
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: too technical here, are unloading the oil into what they

145
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: call bonded storage or storage facilities that are actually owned

146
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: by Iran. So it doesn't count yet as an actual

147
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: transfer or transaction that would be that would be violative

148
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: of the U S sanctions. But what that's doing is

149
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: creating this huge overhang of millions of barrels of oil.

150
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: Literally that if there's some kind of easing or if

151
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: the Chinese want to throw down and say, you know,

152
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: we don't care about your sanctions, We're going to buy

153
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: the oil, all of a sudden we have a new

154
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: flood of oil that goes into the Chinese market, which

155
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: would displace obviously other salady barrels and other supply that

156
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: would again cause the potential, you know, further cratering of

157
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: the price so um, it's actually something we're all watching

158
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: because it's it's oil. It's almost like a mini strategic

159
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: petroleum reserved that it's being built up into that if

160
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: it gets tapped or called on, would obviously be another

161
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: price break opportunity. So, John, you've nailed it with respect

162
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: to your calls on oil prices. I'm looking right now,

163
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: crew treated on the night Max currently treading at fifty

164
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: five two cents a barrel, up two and a half

165
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: percent today after yesterday's eight percent plunge. Where will this

166
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: price be? What should it be? Should the tariffs, the

167
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: additional tariffs at President Trump discussed yesterday get implemented and

168
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: there is some sort of retaliatory move by the Chinese government,

169
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're heading back down towards fifty dollars a

170
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: barrel at this point. That's where major support is on

171
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: on the chart. It's not just around psychological number. There's

172
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: some real um you know math if you will involved

173
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: with that, with that level um. And it's remarkable right

174
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: if you think about it, that with all the ten

175
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: the surrounding Iran, with all the efforts by Saudi Arabian,

176
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: some mothers in OPEC, including Russia to try to reduce

177
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: supplies and get the price back up. That it's just

178
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: not reacting. It shows you just how you know, the

179
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: delitarious this situation is. And the fallout from the trade

180
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: war is on the demand outlook. And that's what's just

181
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: key right now. And you know, we're gonna be heading

182
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: down to that fifty barrel level and we'll see if

183
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't prompt another response from the Saddie's or the

184
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: rest of OPEC in Russia, UM or even the other

185
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: show that could fall here. What we're going to start

186
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: to watch out for is our own shale players. UM.

187
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: The they're here in footsteps from the financial markets about

188
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, persisting in their money losing endeavors here and uh,

189
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: we've seen US domestic productions stall out of about twelve

190
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: million barrels. It could very well start to go back

191
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: on the decline. Uh if this doesn't improve. So that's

192
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: the other thing to watch out for. So John, just

193
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: real quickly, in thirty seconds, we heard from Chevron and

194
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Exxon reported earnings today. What are the big oil companies

195
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: saying about trade and how that risks their business? Well,

196
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a problem for them. The only bright spot

197
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: they've had recently is their petrochemical businesses at the bigger

198
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: companies X and Chevron and some of the others. Now

199
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: that's going to face an economic slowdown, and those businesses

200
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: are highly cyclical, So if you get a downturn in

201
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: the global economy, that's the that's their last vestage is

202
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: now going to get hit too. So there's a reason

203
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: why the energy sector is less than five percent of

204
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: the S and P five hundred um. They're they're really

205
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: uninvestable at this point. Uninvestable. That's hard, yeah, because they

206
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: both eat expectations and their share prices are down. So

207
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people probably agree with John absolutely.

208
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: John Kilda, thank you so much for joining us once again.

209
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: John is founding partner of Again Capital, based in New

210
00:11:46,040 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: York City. Giving us an update on the oil markets. Well,

211
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: this may be the dog days of summer, but we

212
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: certainly had a busy week. This week. We had the FED,

213
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: we had trade and tariffs, and today the jobs reports,

214
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: so we actually had plenty for the markets to digest.

215
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: Help us kind of tie it all together. We welcome

216
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Dr Bob Eisenbeis Bob as a vice chairman and chief

217
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: monetary economist for Cumberland Advisers, and Dr Eisenbeiss was formerly

218
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: executive vice president and director of Research at the Federal

219
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: Reserve Bank of Atlantic joins us on the phone from Sarasota. Bob,

220
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Let's kind of work backwards,

221
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: maybe from what has been a very busy week, and

222
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: we'll start with the jobs report that we got this morning.

223
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: What are your key takeaways from what seemed to be

224
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: a pretty solid report. Well, it was a salad report,

225
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: and there's lots of positives. The unemployment rate held constant

226
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: at three point seven percent. There were games in a

227
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: number of different categories, and uh, I noticed that those

228
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: categories aren't necessarily the ones that are low paying jobs.

229
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: We're not saying retail and food services and that sort

230
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: of thing. We're seeing good jobs being created. Um. And

231
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: then I also note the fact that we now have

232
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: about six point one million UH people unemployed, whereas we

233
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: have over seven million job vacancies. So if you're an

234
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: employer and you have a job, and you have a

235
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: job vacancy and you can't hire people, why would you

236
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: create more jobs? The only thing I can think of

237
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: is that you may be creating jobs that have different skills,

238
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: and so part of what we're looking at as a

239
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: skill min mismatch. So, Bob, given the fact that the

240
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: jobs market looks like it's in very solid footing, given

241
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: the fact that the economic expansion, albeit it is slowing,

242
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: it is still chugging along here, how does the Federal

243
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: Reserve Act going forward from your perspective, Well, they've painted

244
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: themselves into a corner as far as I'm concerned. Um,

245
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: they cut once, build it as an insurance cut. I

246
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: saw some commentator make the point that when you don't

247
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: have another rationality, you can always build it as an

248
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: insurance cut. Uh. They were not very convincing as to

249
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: why they were doing it, especially. Uh. Make make two points. First,

250
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: if the problems are slow down in Europe and trade issues,

251
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: it's not obvious to me how a cut in interest

252
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: rates is going to solve those dislocations. It's not so

253
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: I think. I think that's one of the things to

254
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: sort of put in the back of our mind that

255
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: it's just not there's not much of a connection between

256
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: at this juncture the problems they're trying to address and

257
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: the tools that they have to address it. Secondly, German

258
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: power kept referring to uncertainty about trade on certainty about

259
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: the global outlook. Well, to an economist, uncertainty has a

260
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: special meeting. It means that you don't have an idea

261
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: as to what the probabilities are going to be of

262
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: an event occurring. That's different from risk, where you do

263
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: have some way of figuring out what the likelihood of

264
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: these events. I don't know a single theory that says

265
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: that Paul's monetary policy helps to deal with uncertainty. So

266
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: I think I think they've really painted themselves into a corner.

267
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: And I guessed before the meeting that should they make

268
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: a cut, two things will happen. They will be criticized

269
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: by the President and the markets will be crying for more.

270
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: And that that appears to be what's happening. So it's interesting.

271
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: It's interesting, Bob. This week again a pretty busy week

272
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: in terms of data for the marketplace. We had a

273
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: good job report today, we had you know, a good

274
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: we had a rate cut by the Federal Reserve. But

275
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: sell off we've seen in the financial markets yesterday afternoon

276
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: and continuing in today, and we have the dial off

277
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: seven points right now. It shows where trade really fits

278
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: on investors right our screen, I kind of right up

279
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: front and center. So what is your sense as to

280
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: how investors should be pricing in the risk of a

281
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: prolonged trade dispute with China. Well, I think, uh, first

282
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: of all, what that means is trade is not all

283
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: that important to us in terms of the volume of

284
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: trade our exports and imports. Most of our trade is

285
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: with Mexico and Canada, so you need to keep our

286
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: eyes on what's happening in that arena as opposed to

287
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: necessarily worrying about the goods coming in and out of China. Um.

288
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: We've also seen suppliers now moving supply chains to adjust

289
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: to it, so they're taking steps to try to chrishion

290
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: themselves from the impact of those trade wars. But I

291
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: did find it very interesting listening to the broadcast today

292
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: the number of different knock on effects that people have

293
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: been identified that fall out of these trade negotiations. And

294
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: I think in this particular case, uh, those that are

295
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: arguing that the Chinese are in no rush to strike

296
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: a deal is going to be really important because the

297
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: longer we go, the closer we get to the election.

298
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: If there's a downturn in flows of funds to farmers

299
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: and so on in the Midwest. That's going to have

300
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: significant political implications going forward. Uh. I'd like to make

301
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: one more point about the jobs market if I could

302
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: go ahead. Okay, Um, we tend to look at the

303
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: number of jobs created as we assess how good the

304
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: job market is, but we forget that the economy today

305
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: is much bigger than it was in two thousand. It's

306
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: bigger than it was in nineteen sixty. If we were

307
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: to create jobs at the same rate we did between

308
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty and nineteen seventy, that one and sixty five

309
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: thousand would be four times what it is. If we

310
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: were to create jobs at the same rate we did

311
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: between nineteen eighty and before the financial crisis, that number

312
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: would be twice as big. So while this is a

313
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: nice job number, we need to sort of put it

314
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: in perspective that tells us something's going on in terms

315
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: of the job creation and the nature of how our

316
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: economy is going and growing. That has implications for jobs.

317
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: That's that's an excellent point. Bob Eis and Bias, thank

318
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: you so much for being with us and giving us

319
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: your perspective. Bobby's and Bias's vice chairman and chief monetary

320
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: economist for Cumberland Advisors, joining us from Sarah Study formerly

321
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: was the executive vice president and director of Research at

322
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Yeah. Car Kadonna of

323
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Economics q f U S Economists was in here

324
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: earlier saying that the actual numbers of the job's report

325
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: today looked pretty good. You dig under that though perhaps

326
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: they looked a little less good, and again us a color,

327
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: some color of what's happening on the ground. Let's bring

328
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: in Becky Frankoitz, president of Manpower Group North America. Manpower

329
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: Group is the third largest staffing firm in the world. Becky,

330
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. So I want

331
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: to start there are there signs from your vantage point

332
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: that the US labor market is slowing down? Yeah, So

333
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: we would say that July's job report was pitched perfect.

334
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: There were wage there was wage growth, workforce participation picked up,

335
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: and there were strong job gains. Now the taste of

336
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: growth is slowing. So year to day in eighteen, we

337
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: had about two three thousand jobs this time and now

338
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: we're having about a hundred and sixty five thousand on

339
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: average per month. So the pace of growth is slowing.

340
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: But it makes so much sense, Lisa, because as we

341
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: have fewer qualified workers looking for work because they're all employed,

342
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: of course we're seeing slower job growth. So, Becky, given

343
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: that we are at or near someone's definition of full employment,

344
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: are you surprised that we're not seeing maybe better than

345
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: three low three percent wage growth? Yeah, So July mark

346
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: twelve months of three percent or greater wage growth. So

347
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: we're encouraged by that. But of course, you know, the

348
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: basics of economics would tell you we should continue to

349
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: see wages pick up based on supply demand. So, and

350
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: this is something that we have been expecting for a

351
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: long time, and it's been a little bit uh slower

352
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: to take off than people have expected. Where are the

353
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: main job gains, I mean in what industries? Yes, so

354
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: really encouraging. In July we saw professional and technical services

355
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: add thirty one thousand jobs, and about a third of

356
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: those jobs when computer systems designs and so we're actually

357
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: starting to see these the effects of AI and automation

358
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: come into new jobs in the workforce, which speaks to

359
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: the fact that we have to start upskilling American workers

360
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: now again encouraging that we've seen more companies commit to

361
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: up skilling, so teaching, you know, people new new skills

362
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: for future jobs. We've seen more companies commit in the

363
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: last two months than we've seen in the last two years.

364
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: But upskilling our workers for tomorrow's jobs is mission critical

365
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: for our country. Yeah, that's interesting. That's kind of where

366
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to go because Lisa and I speak to

367
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: a lot of h C suite people and they tell

368
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: us one of their challenges is actually finding qualified workers.

369
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: What do you think what are we seeing out of

370
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: corporate American in terms of trying to address what is

371
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: I guess a high class problem that you can't find

372
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: enough qualified workers. Yes, I think I think it's actually

373
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 1: a problem across all sectors of the economy, Paul. So

374
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: you know what we're seeing is I spend my time

375
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: with CEOs across America like you do, is a ride.

376
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: Almost fifty of American employers are saying they can't find

377
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: the skills that they need, and so we have to

378
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: create the workforce that we need for tomorrow. Our population

379
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: growth in our country hit a thirty two year low

380
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: in in earlier this year March of this year. And

381
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: the challenge with that is the workforce we have is

382
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: the workforce will have. And so we are seeing companies

383
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: commit to upskilling, but that's just one piece of what's

384
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: required for success. To have successful upskilling, we actually have

385
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: to understand the potential of our workers, understand the jobs

386
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: that we're gonna need today and tomorrow, and then map

387
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: people through career paths into those jobs, which industries are

388
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: offering the biggest pay gains right now. Yeah, so again

389
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: encouraged this morning. You know, retail jobs were down about

390
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: three point six or UM, but we saw manufacturing increase,

391
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: so that's exciting UM and the positive of that is

392
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: manufacturing jobs pay a little bit more than retail, so

393
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: good to see growth there. You know, construction was up,

394
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: but we're honestly, we're seeing growth across the economy. With

395
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: the supply and demand we have in our country, it's

396
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: a great time to be an American worker. So, Becky,

397
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: one of the things that one of the uncertainties in

398
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: the marketplaces back kind of front and center. That's trade

399
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: tensions with China. President Trump tweeting that the raising terrorists

400
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: are putting tariffs on additional three billion dollars worth of goods.

401
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: As you talk to hiring managers, are the trade uncertainties

402
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: impacting their confidence as it relates to hiring or expanding. Yeah,

403
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: I would say, of course it's a topic of conversation,

404
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: but we're not seeing that pull through into action. Despite

405
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: the uncertainty around trade. Americans are increasingly positive and this

406
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: plus job market and so are employers, and so we're

407
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: continuing to see demand increase for qualified workers. And yes,

408
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: of course the conversation is concerned over trade, but it

409
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: is not translating into the slowdown of powering. Okay, this

410
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: is yet, Okay, this is really interesting. So it's not

411
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: contributing to a slowdown in hiring. What are you hearing

412
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: from businesses in terms of when it will or in

413
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: other words, when they will start to pair back, how

414
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: much they commit to future businesses based on concerns or

415
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 1: the reality of ongoing trade tensions. Yeah, we're seeing a

416
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: wait and see approach honestly, where companies are saying, hey,

417
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to it because the fear is

418
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: if I don't put my job request out there, I

419
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: might miss an opportunity for a worker that would be

420
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: willing to switch to my company, and so wait and

421
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: see in terms of talking about trade, but not changing behavior,

422
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: but continuing to post jobs. In fact, we do a

423
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: Manpower group, a Manpower Employment Outlook survey, and candidly for

424
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: Q three, we saw a ten year high in intention

425
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: to hire in our U S economy. So people still

426
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: intend to hire even with that uncertainty. So beggy looking

427
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: at you think about your survey work or just discussions

428
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: with hiring managers. Are you seeing geographic particular areas of

429
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: strength and our weakness in the US? Now we're you know,

430
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: of course there's there's variety across the cities, but we're

431
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of strength across all four areas of

432
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: the country, whether it's you know, north, southwest or east UM.

433
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: And so continued to see opportunity be regardless of where

434
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: you live in the country. You know. The other interesting

435
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: thing about today's job reports is, you know, I mentioned

436
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: we saw workforce participation pick up. The total labor force

437
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: set a record high, and so again there are jobs

438
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: geographically across the country, and we saw three hundred and

439
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: seventy thousand new workers come into the labor force. I

440
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: did some math this morning. That's like the entire city

441
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: of Tampa, Florida, coming into the workforce in one month.

442
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: Thank you, Frank Witz, Thank you so much for joining
