I am enormously 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: concerned about what will happen to the people whose jobs 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: AI renders unnecessary or who can't find jobs because of 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: it at this moment of transformation. Howard joins us now 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: after writing a memo that I really recommend everybody read. 17 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: It really was one of the absolute best you've ever written. 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: Thank you for being here with us, So I can 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: stop now, No, please don't, I want to keep reading 20 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: your membos. I want to start with this idea of 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: different types of bubbles, and you talk about there are 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: productive bubbles and unproductive bubbles. What's the difference and how 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: does that make it either something you want to invest 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: in or not. 25 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 3: Well. 26 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 4: I think that the unproductive bubbles I would describe as 27 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 4: financial fads. Portfolio insurance was one, subprime mortgages was another. 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 4: Just you know, financial activities that become fashionable, zoom into popularity, 29 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 4: get over hyped, and then recede. But then there are 30 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 4: bubbles which are based on technological progress, the starting with 31 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 4: the steam engine, the railroad, the radio, the automobile, computers, internet, etc. 32 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 4: And these actually push society ahead and change it irreversibly. 33 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 4: But in the process there is a bubble surrounding their implementation, 34 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 4: which is overly accelerated and overly financed and goes to 35 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 4: excess and end up destroying a lot of capital, but 36 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 4: leave society greatly changed. And I'm sure that AI is 37 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 4: in the latter category in terms of effect on society. 38 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 4: And the question is will the implementation prove to have 39 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 4: been excessive in scope and in the way it's financed. 40 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 1: Just because something is excessive doesn't mean that you can't 41 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: invest in it. 42 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 3: No, But. 43 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 4: When investors hate everything and we'll touch it with the 44 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: ten foot poll, chances are it's going to be on 45 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 4: sale because nobody has pushed up the price. In fact, 46 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: their disinterest has pushed down the price. But when everybody 47 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 4: likes something, he's excited about something, chances are it may 48 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 4: be overhyped and overpriced. 49 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 3: So you just have to be careful. So that's where 50 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: we are right now. 51 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: You said you can invest and you campaticipate, but you 52 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: just have to be careful. What does being careful look like? 53 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: Does it mean focusing more on debt versus equities, more 54 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: on equities versus debt, more on small companies versus big ones. 55 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 3: What does that look like? 56 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 4: Well, what I say in the memo is that it's 57 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 4: okay to lend for activities even if they're uncertain, but 58 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: not if they are if the outcomes are purely conjectural. 59 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: I mean, in order to be a smart lender, you 60 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: have to have good visibility on the extent to which 61 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: the thing is likely to repay interest. In principle, if 62 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: it's just purely conjectural, it's not you shouldn't be a lender. 63 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 4: And in fact, I think the memo says that where 64 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: that's the case, you should actually, if you want to participate, 65 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 4: you should be in the equity so at least you 66 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 4: get the upside. 67 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: The lender has no upside. 68 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 4: You make it a nine percent own all you're going 69 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 4: to get is nine percent, no matter how well the 70 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 4: thing does. 71 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: You certainly shouldn't do that in activities that have a high. 72 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 4: Probability of not paying off at all, because then you 73 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 4: have unlimited downside and limited upside. That's absolutely the wrong combination. 74 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: So you think, right now, in some circumstances, the equity 75 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: might actually be a better option than the debt because 76 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: of that potential level. 77 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 4: Exactly, because the point is that if you go into 78 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: some startup which has a possibility, you know, let's say 79 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 4: a small possibility of a raging success, you know you 80 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 4: wouldn't lend to it because you have a high probability 81 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 4: of losing all your money and no probability of participating 82 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 4: in the success. 83 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: That's a bad trade. 84 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: So you always talk about this risk reward pendulum, the 85 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: risk and fear, this sort of fear and greed pendulum. 86 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: Right now, and yesterday we saw Oracle come out and 87 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 1: talk about having to borrow more money, having to spend 88 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: more and people are selling off the shares. 89 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: Does this make you feel good? 90 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: Does this make you feel like there actually is some discretion? 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: Well? 92 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, well I think that I think that it's 93 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 4: you know, Buffett says, the less prudence for which others 94 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: conductor affairs, the greater the prudence with which we must 95 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 4: conduct our own affairs. So when other people are acting 96 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 4: imprudently and mindlessly and care free, we should be worried. 97 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: When other people are showing appropriate concern, that's a positive 98 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 4: sign that the market is applying some discipline. The greatest 99 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 4: some of the greatest moments that I've seen, some of 100 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: the greatest signals of danger in the markets have been 101 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 4: when people were not applying any prudence at all, like 102 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 4: in six for example. So if people are reacting harshly 103 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 4: to aggressive, possibly risk indicating activities, yes, that's a healthy sign. 104 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 4: And this market is seems healthy year than the two 105 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: thousand market. 106 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: To me, How concerned are you that we get a 107 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: federal reserve that's more accommodative for a variety of reasons 108 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: that leads to even more risk taking. This idea that 109 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: not only did the Fed cut rates indicated more rate 110 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: cuts but also is adding to its balance sheet in 111 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: a way that could potentially prop up demand. 112 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 4: Well, you know, I was thinking about this when I 113 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 4: was waiting to see you today. You know, most of 114 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 4: the people listening to this program, including me and you, 115 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 4: are interested in the free markets, and we think free 116 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 4: markets should set the prices of things. And the FED 117 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: manipulations are a form of price controls. You know, they 118 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 4: control the price of money. And if the FED puts 119 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: money artificially cheap, then it induces behavior like risk taking. 120 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: It forces people into risk. 121 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 4: Of your activities because the returns on safe activities are 122 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 4: so low. It tends to reinforce the view that there's 123 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 4: a FED put that if there's a problem, the FED 124 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 4: will solve it, and that contributes to risky behavior. 125 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: These are all bad things. 126 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 4: And you know, I believe that the FED should be 127 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: passive most of the time and only come to the 128 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 4: rescue if the market is if the economy is seriously 129 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 4: overheated and tending towards hyperinflation, or seriously under active and 130 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 4: not creating jobs. I don't think that's the case right now. 131 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: I don't think there's a and you can see in 132 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 4: the divided Open Market Committee that there's a difference of opinion. 133 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 4: So I don't think that action on the part of 134 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 4: the Fed is compelling right now. And you know, there 135 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 4: are people who think that rates should be a lot 136 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 4: lower than they are today. 137 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: I just don't see that the merit in that right now. 138 00:07:59,360 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: Going forward. 139 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: I remember back in two thousand and fifteen, sixteen seventeen, 140 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: more rates were incredibly low. You were saying people just 141 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: need to lower their expectations for returns because ultimately you 142 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: have to look at the risk free rate. You don't 143 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: want to reach too much at a time where people 144 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: are greedy. Where are we right now in terms of 145 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: what types of returns people ought to expect based on 146 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: the current income rates? 147 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 4: Well, the lower base interest rates are everything scales off that, 148 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 4: so you know, I mean the FED funds rate at 149 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: three and a half is below history. It's these are 150 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 4: not high rates, They're only high relatives the last fifteen years. 151 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 4: But this is a low rate, So everything scales off that. 152 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: Most things will give moderate returns in the dead area. 153 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: I think prospective returns are moderate, okay, not lush, but 154 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 4: not inadequate. The trouble is that the S and P, 155 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: based on its pe ratio relative to history, appears to 156 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 4: be priced to provide a very low prospective return. Historically, 157 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 4: if you bought at this pe ratio, your return over 158 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 4: the next ten years averaged in the very low single digits. 159 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 4: So I think we're in a moderate return scenario. The 160 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 4: problem is that how do you get a high return 161 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 4: in a moderate return scenario? And most people's resort is 162 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 4: to take a lot more risk, and that's something I 163 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 4: don't like to do, other than when it's compelling. 164 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: You had a personal note in a dentum at the end, 165 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: and we let off with that idea of what artificial 166 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: intelligence and machine learning will do to the labor market, 167 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: it's something clearly on the Fed's mind, clearly on investor's mind, 168 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: talking about concerns that there is going to be cannibalization 169 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: from human jobs. How do you see this playing out? 170 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: How are you kind of grappling with this when you 171 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: look at investments, when you look at fiscal deficit, when 172 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: you look at the backdrop for the financial system. 173 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 4: Well, look, Lisa, here, I'm not talking about investing or economics. 174 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: I'm talking about society. And it's very worrying to me. 175 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 4: And you know, I've gotten some very nice response from 176 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 4: people I respect to the memo, and one of them 177 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 4: said he thinks we've seen this in response to the 178 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 4: Internet over the last twenty five years, but it has 179 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 4: not raised unemployment because the Internet eliminated white collar jobs 180 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 4: that were replaced by blue collar jobs, like you know, 181 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: people who pick stuff in warehouses and send it out 182 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 4: in e commerce. So the job count is not down, 183 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 4: but job quality is down. And I think that this 184 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 4: is very worrisome. And as I said the addendum, when 185 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 4: we lost jobs to automation and offshoring, I think that 186 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: that coincided with the opiate epidemic, and not only in 187 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 4: the amount, but also in location. And I think it's 188 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: a natural consequence of people sitting around all day. And 189 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 4: even if we we can find a replace, a way 190 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 4: to replace their income, I worry about purposelessness. And you know, 191 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: we get so much job, so much from our jobs 192 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 4: other than a paycheck, and you can't replace that stuff. 193 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 3: So I worry for society. 194 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 2: Stay with us more Bloomberg surveillance coming up after this. 195 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: Joining us now for more, Libby, thank you so much 196 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: for being here. 197 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: Why not just give the role to. 198 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 5: Kevin Hassett at this point, Well, I mean, look, I 199 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 5: think that this is obviously President Trump loves a horse race, 200 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 5: and I think he loves the drama. And of course 201 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 5: he doesn't need to nominate anybody until Powell's term is up, 202 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 5: which is, of course, as you know, until May of 203 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 5: twenty twenty six, and so there really is no rush here. 204 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 5: But I do think this is, you know, sort of 205 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 5: speaks to the dramatic that the president, that the President likes. 206 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 5: I mean, I do you know, you're kind of a 207 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 5: broader issue though, is sort of this these rumors that 208 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 5: there has been kind of pushed back on on Hassett. 209 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 5: I think it does show that even though the market 210 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 5: has been pretty sanguine about FED independence, that there may 211 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 5: be some concerns and that when you have somebody from 212 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 5: the White House that then rotates to the FED, that 213 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 5: there could be some politicization of the institution. 214 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 6: Libya here from the President saying that what he cares 215 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 6: about somebody honest about interest rates. There's more to it 216 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 6: than that, of course, and I think that there was 217 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 6: a narrative for a while that this was going to 218 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 6: be a reformer, and I think Kevin Warsh represents that 219 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 6: he somebody's talked a lot about the way the FED 220 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 6: is structured and what could change. Do other candidates share 221 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 6: those same inclinations. How much does the president price I 222 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 6: should say, weve heard from the Treasury Secretary he's interested 223 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 6: in reforming the way the whole system is set up. 224 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 6: Who can be regional presidents and the like. How big 225 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 6: an issue is that? Do you think for the presidents 226 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 6: he goes through the search? 227 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, maybe not for the president himself, but 228 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 5: I do think for this administration, and I think for 229 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 5: you know, many folks on the Hill as well. I mean, 230 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 5: this has been a long time in coming. Obviously, Congress 231 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 5: has tried to pass legislation to reform the FED that 232 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 5: requires sixty votes, so they haven't been able to get 233 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 5: kind of by a partisan support. But I do think 234 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 5: we could see some reforms. But I do you know, 235 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 5: it's important to contextualize what the reforms could be and 236 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 5: what is possible. There's just not as much that the 237 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 5: president or a FED chair can do unilaterally without actually 238 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 5: changing the law, and of course you need Congress to 239 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 5: change the law. So could we see sort of incrementally 240 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 5: how reserved presidents are chosen, maybe a little bit more 241 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 5: pressure on reserve presidents. Of course, the FED Board does 242 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 5: have authority over who stays as a regional president. But 243 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 5: I think just by and large, there's probably I think, 244 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 5: you know, we're expecting more incremental reform, if any, just 245 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 5: given some of those constraints. 246 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 6: Let's say cast as the front runner, which Bloomberg has reported, 247 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 6: and you point out the fact there's been this kind 248 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 6: of growing concern within the bond mark about him as 249 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 6: potential FED share that kind of became so we first 250 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 6: saw on the ftpiece a couple of days ago. Now 251 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 6: seeing that brought in a little bit more. What does 252 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 6: the bond market want to see? I think of what 253 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 6: Anna Wong, our colleague at Bloomberg Economics roads, saying she 254 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 6: knows Kevin Asse, She's worked alongside him. 255 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 3: Actions speak louder than words. 256 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 6: He's somebody who has talked a lot about fit independent 257 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 6: since prized it through the entirety of his career. He 258 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 6: did advise some more traditional Republicans in years past. What 259 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 6: does he have to do to kind of assuage or 260 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 6: pacify those who are concerned about the prospects of him 261 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 6: being the next. 262 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 5: FED shir Yeah, I think, as you know, there's what 263 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 5: he says publicly, and what he says, you know, to 264 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 5: the media and in this you should he get nominated, 265 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 5: That all important confirmation hearing, but also what he says 266 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 5: privately and to the very key Republican senators who will 267 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 5: effectively cast sort of the vote whether he gets nominated 268 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 5: or not. So I think what they want to see 269 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 5: is again just reassurances that they know that he will 270 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 5: uphold independence, that he will not be sort of suaged 271 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 5: by the whomever is in the president who's ever in 272 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 5: the White House beaks. Of course, this next FED chair 273 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 5: will outlive President Trump's term and will be in for 274 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 5: whomever is president in twenty twenty nine. And then also 275 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 5: that some of these rumors about the regional presidents and 276 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 5: what have you may again maybe the reforms will be 277 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 5: more incremental and not necessarily existential. 278 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 7: I mean, how do you think about the bond market 279 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 7: and it's reaction all of this, For all the kind 280 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 7: of rumors of pushback since Bloomberg broke the kind of 281 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 7: hasset news, ten year yield has been relatively well behaved, 282 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 7: two year yields relatively well behaved. I think, you know, 283 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 7: the work is still pricing in kind of a three 284 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 7: percent terminal rate. It seems like the bond market is 285 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 7: taking the kind of measure of Hassett and saying it's 286 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 7: not a really significant shift in policy, and bond market 287 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 7: seems relatively comfortable. How do you. 288 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 3: React to that? 289 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we do what I just said earlier. 290 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 5: I mean, I do think the bond market has been 291 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 5: relatively sanguine about this is just about in general, this 292 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 5: fear about FED independence, and I think that you know, 293 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 5: kind of you know, maybe underscores two things. One is 294 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 5: that oftentimes the market doesn't believe anything until they actually 295 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 5: see it, and so they're not going to necessarily just 296 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 5: trade on speculation or on rumor. And of course we 297 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 5: don't even have a FED chair nomine yet. It's all 298 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 5: just been kind of those and of course you know 299 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 5: the drama. But I also think the number two is 300 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 5: that the market understands some of these guardrails that are 301 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 5: in place, and that while the chair, of course is 302 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 5: very important, the chair is not kind of almighty in 303 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 5: terms of changing monetary policy, and that of course it 304 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 5: is the majority of as you know, the FOMC twelve members, 305 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 5: not just the seven FED Board governors. And then also 306 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 5: not to overstate the sort of confirmation process. But something I, 307 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 5: maybe to their chagrin, always reinforce to our Investment Committee 308 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 5: is that this advice and consent role that the US 309 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 5: Senate plays is very important. And actually, if you just 310 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,239 Speaker 5: look at the number of nominees that this president has 311 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 5: had to withdraw, it's really unprecedented, and it's all kind 312 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 5: of been backchanneling and private. But that sort of speaks 313 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 5: to the fact that the Senate, they have not had 314 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 5: the votes in the Senate to confirm those nominees. So 315 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 5: I think if somebody were to be nominated, who would 316 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 5: be too political, who would really compromise the independence of 317 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 5: the foot I think the bomb market is reassured that 318 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 5: the Senate would push back. 319 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: This goes to a bigger question, and I was glad 320 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: that you went there about how much Republicans are starting 321 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: to push back on President Trump after some of the 322 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: recent elections and some of the recent losses on the 323 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: part of certain Republican candidates. Do you get the sense 324 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: that there is a greater constraining of some of the 325 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: more extreme policies by Congress as a result of some 326 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: of the recent elections, You. 327 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 3: Know, I do. 328 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 5: I think the political runway for this president is absolutely shortening. 329 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 5: But I would also say that this is very consistent 330 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 5: with history. If you look at Biden's administration, you know, 331 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 5: the Democrats, of course had both the House and the 332 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 5: Senate in his first two years, and they basically allowed 333 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 5: Biden to do whatever he kind of wanted to do, 334 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 5: right to really advance his policy agenda that first year. However, 335 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 5: as you got closer to the midterms, as you had 336 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 5: some of these off cycle elections, the Democrats really did 337 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 5: start pushing back on President Biden. I think that's the 338 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 5: corollary here. The kind of the parallel is that, you know, 339 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 5: Republicans have been pushing back on the president sort of privately, 340 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 5: but I think we expected them to do that more 341 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 5: more publicly. But again, this is not necessarily President Trump's specific. 342 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 5: This is kind of just the political cycle in Washington. 343 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 2: Stay with US multlempag Savannah's coming up of this. 344 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: The team at MasterCards Economic Institute predicting moderate global GDP 345 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: growth at three point one percent and twenty twenty six. 346 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: A key dynamic is continued trade realignment between the US 347 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: and China. Joining US now is Michelle Meyer and Michelle 348 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: wonderful to see you as always. I would love to 349 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: get your take on what Steve Shiverin was just talking about, 350 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: which is he thinks the stealth story is the recovery 351 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: and acceleration in the consumer in twenty twenty six. Are 352 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: you seeing that in any of the data that you're collecting. 353 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say it's probably not a stealth story. 354 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,239 Speaker 8: It's a reality, and I think it has been the 355 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 8: reality that consumer has been extraordinarily engaged. You just heard 356 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 8: it from Robert Eisam in the interview you aired that 357 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 8: consumers are still traveling, You are still seeing the embrace 358 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 8: of discretionary spending in addition to the necessities. So it's 359 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 8: consumers that you know, again it's going to vary depending 360 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 8: on income cohort. It's a big part of the narrative 361 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 8: that it's not even It never is even, frankly, but 362 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 8: you have consumer spending that is still running at a 363 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 8: healthy clip. For the holiday shopping season. We're looking for 364 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 8: a mid three percent pace for holiday sales. Black Friday 365 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 8: came in with our data. We saw a four point 366 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 8: one percent increase in spending on Black Friday. 367 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: How much is this inflationary? How much is this because 368 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: simply the prices were higher, not necessarily more items for ticketed. 369 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 8: So you know, we'll find out for sure once we 370 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 8: get the CPI report at some point. 371 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: Do you know when it's going to be bad? 372 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 2: Well, no, at some point. 373 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 8: But in the inrum, what we know as of now 374 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 8: in terms of the basket of holiday shopping items that 375 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 8: we typically see inflations running maybe around two percent or 376 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 8: so year of the year. So certainly there's very much 377 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 8: still real spending and growth. 378 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 6: In terms of volume. Would you look at where people 379 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 6: are spending money, what's the story that emerges from that? 380 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 6: So you talk about how kind of discerning consumers are 381 00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 6: being about where they're spending it on? 382 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: What? 383 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, can you break that down by I don't know, 384 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 6: strato or sector? What can that tell us just about 385 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 6: people's habits at this moment. 386 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 8: Yeah, So I certainly think that consumers are savvy. I 387 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 8: think they have been savvy this whole period of time 388 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 8: coming out of the pandemic. Once they experienced that price 389 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 8: level shock that was, you know, challenging for them. It 390 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 8: was a first time consumers are a significant increase in 391 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 8: the price of goods across the board, and since then, 392 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 8: I think consumers have been really mindful in terms of 393 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 8: what they buy, when they buy, why they buy it. 394 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 8: They certainly concentrate spending around promotional periods, which is what 395 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 8: we saw during the Black Friday period, But you know, 396 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 8: making those choices, making those choices that work for them. 397 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 6: As you look at kind of the evolution of consumer 398 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 6: psychology in this moment, I think there was a lot 399 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 6: of anxiety surrounding the prospect of what tariffs might mean 400 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 6: for all of us. Has that eroded it' staved just 401 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 6: a moment ago talking about how people might feel once 402 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: these tax benefits come into effect. Are we at a 403 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 6: point where the immediate effects of those tariffs are now 404 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 6: not front of mine? And for a lot of consumers, 405 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 6: it's not as big of kind of psychic wight as 406 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 6: it was at the beginning of the Liberation Day and 407 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 6: the like. 408 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 8: Well, I think we've moved from the headlines the uncertainty 409 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 8: to the reality right so now we're actually seeing that 410 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 8: enter into the economy. It's still happening, but there's a 411 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 8: little bit more stability in terms of the. 412 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: Process. 413 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 8: And I think for consumers what they're focus on is 414 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 8: when they walk into the store, they try to purchase 415 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 8: something online, what is the price and does it make 416 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 8: sense for their budget? And if it's an item that 417 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 8: prices have increased, whether it's because of tariffs or because 418 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 8: of other reasons, they might say, you know what, does 419 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 8: it make sense? How badly do I want to or 420 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 8: can I buy something else where I feel like I 421 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 8: get better value? So that decision is always happening. And 422 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 8: in a world where there's more digitalization, where you have 423 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 8: a greater share of spending that's happening online, more choices 424 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 8: that are out there for consumers, I think they have 425 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 8: a little bit more power to navigate this environment. 426 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 7: You talked about the kind of unevenness of consumer spending 427 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 7: by kind of income cohort, and I'm interested in what 428 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 7: trends you're seeing, at least over the holiday season. You know, 429 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 7: is the high end focusing they're spending in a particular place. 430 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 7: Is the lower end consumer? Are they still healthy? Where 431 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 7: are they spending? Break that down for us a little bit, 432 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 7: give us an understanding of kind of how the high 433 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 7: end and low end consumer behaving through this holiday season. 434 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: Sure, so, I. 435 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 8: Mean we don't have the ability to break that down 436 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 8: specifically with our own aggregated data, But what we do 437 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 8: look at is different baske sets of spending and how 438 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 8: that varies across the US in terms of different locations, 439 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 8: which could be a nice proxy for income spending. And 440 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 8: you know, this holiday season, I would say it has 441 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 8: been and a lead in has been experienced. Spending has 442 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 8: done well, So we've seen a good amount of spending 443 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 8: on restaurants, travel, lodging, a bit weaker in terms of furniture, 444 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 8: home improvement, footwear, so some of the more discretionary gooes 445 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 8: categories that may have tariff impacts where perhaps the value 446 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 8: isn't as notable. And then apparel has been a really 447 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 8: strong one this season feels like kind of across the 448 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 8: board as well, where we're seeing this engagement in terms 449 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 8: of greater spending on apparel. 450 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: So we shouldn't necessarily look at all the sales as 451 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: being just people trying to reel in consumers that are reluctant. 452 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: I mean, when you have things in your basket in 453 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: Amazon or some other company, how many times you get emails, 454 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: often from people say you haven't checked out, the deal's 455 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: still there fifteen days and how long Frida at work? 456 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 3: Well, that's true. 457 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 2: This is the Bloomberg Survendans podcast, bringing you the best 458 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: in markets, economics, antient politics.
