7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Vince Signarelli's global macro UH strategist for Bloomberg News, to

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: talk about. I guess central banks. It's all about central

9
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: banks today, Vince. And the first question I have is

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: something that Cameron Cries mentioned in his Macroman column. Um.

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: The idea is that there was no vert leak that

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: the FED purposely told the Wall Street Journal We're gonna

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: raise seventy five basis points. And I've heard this from

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: many market participants, some of whom claim to have actual

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: knowledge about it. Is that possible? Do you believe it? Uh? No,

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: aren't really honest? Would you know? UM? I don't think.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the FED is of the mind to

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: single out any one specific news source, UM to suggest

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: that they were going to make something. Is it possible

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: that they could raise seventy five basis points today. Absolutely, Um,

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: but I would argue that they would be making a

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: big mistake. The Fed really needs to explain, well, remind

23
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: markets of a couple of things. Um that first of all,

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: it takes six months from grodetary policy, that's the theory

25
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: to wind its way through the economy. We just started

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: hiking rates and expectations, I mean expectations they can affect

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: right away. Yeah, they can, But look at the data

28
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: so far. Retail sales are dropping, home prices are dropping,

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: Compass and Reds and firing countless employees yesterday because the

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: real estate market is cooling and they have no sales

31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: to support it. You know, this is actually if you

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: go back to two thousand and twelve and you see

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: look at CPI and you look at the Fed funds rate,

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: you'll see countless gyrations in the set funds rate beginning

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: at the end of hiking, only to crater those rates

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: all the way back down to zero where they were

37
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: in twenties fifteen when CPI collapsed, And the three month

38
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: moving average of CPI across that time is pretty close

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: to unchanged. It's it's a little higher now, but it's

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: higher now. For supply chain reasons, for oil reasons, and

41
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: for fiscal policy with overly stimulating the economy during the pandemic.

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely none of those things had to do with monetary policy.

43
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: So acute changes in monetary policy, you're gonna make matters worse.

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: Not that, Vince. So I'm gonna call you out of consensus.

45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: How typically your career? Are you out of consensus? Uh?

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: About the time went years in a row? So there

47
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: you go. I've never lost money, absolutely never. I've never

48
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: lost money in any given years. But we're not betting

49
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: on this though, right, I mean, I'm just looking at look,

50
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm I just um, look at this chart. If you

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: want to access it yourself and have a Bloomberg terminal,

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: you can type g hashtag b TV nine six two.

53
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I remember that because it's a famous Porsche Lament Porsche.

54
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: But um, it's University of Michigan inflation expectations five to

55
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: ten years out and they jump up like the hockey

56
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: stick in Al Gore's climate change movie. Right, I mean

57
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: we're expecting now, UM, or at least the University of Michigan. Uh,

58
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: people were surveyed by UM. The wolverines are looking at

59
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: three point three percent inflation five to ten years out.

60
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: That's what the FED needs to break. What we're what?

61
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Why why won't the economy do it forth? Why won't

62
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: the drop in prices do it forth? Why won't those

63
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: lack of wage growth cool demands as for them? Which

64
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: is what it always does? All right? So is is

65
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: a Are we in a stag inflationary environment right now? Vince?

66
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: Or we potentially will be? Yeah, we were heading towards.

67
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm I'm looking at the chart you

68
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: just said of inflationary expectations. I go back to December one,

69
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: interest rate through zero and at the end of the

70
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: set funds rate is two and a quarter to two

71
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: point five. And on that chart you're just telling me

72
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: about which I looked up, Uh, the end off to

73
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: the end of ten year inflationary cost tenor inflation expectations

74
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: were dropping. While the spec explain that to me because

75
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: they don't surprise anybody, because they forecast everything, because they

76
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: use for guidance to tell us, listen, next month, we're

77
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: gonna start raising rates and it'll be basis points there

78
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: it'll be fifty. Like what if they just came out

79
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: and shocked the market the concern is they would break something.

80
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: But maybe with eight point six percent headline CPI, something

81
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: needs to get broke. Well, I mean with but it's

82
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's starting to slowly roll over. I

83
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: mean it, you know as well as I do. Spending

84
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: in general is ropping because people the wage growth to

85
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: go along with the price increases. We saw that in

86
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: today's retail sales comes. That's not gonna go away because

87
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: the FED races rates said has not. The fact is

88
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: absolutely no control of disappointment. It's supply side. What are

89
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: they gonna do. They're gonna try to raise rates to

90
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: further curb demare. It's already happened in the housing world.

91
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: What more, what more do they need to do? Raising

92
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: rates is not gonna is not gonna lower the price

93
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: at the stake or or or dinner at a restaurant,

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: or or anything else. It may lower the price of housing,

95
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: but that's that's just about it. It's not gonna put

96
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: more money in people's pockets so they can pay for something.

97
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: You know, the set has been horrible at forecasting both

98
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: inflation and economic growth since Greenspan. I mean, look a

99
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: year and a half ago, they were this inflation was transitory.

100
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Now they're saying it's permanent. Why is why are these

101
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 1: Why am I so confident what they're doing? Good point.

102
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: That's a good point, alright, Vince. That's why we had

103
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: you on because we need the non consensus call from

104
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: time to time, and Vince usually brings that game. Vince Signarella,

105
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: global macro strategist at Bloomberg News. I want to bring

106
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: in next guest, Jennifer Lee. She's a senior economist and

107
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: managing director Demo Capital Markets. Jennifer Obviously, uh, we were

108
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: focusing on the ECB earlier this morning, on their surprise

109
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: announcement kind of a nothing burger. I guess, as some

110
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: people are saying, now all eyes turned to this Federal Reserve,

111
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: and I would think the consensus feels like seventy five

112
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: basis points, although we just had Vince Signarella, macro strategist

113
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: for Bloomberg News saying, you know, they don't really have

114
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: to do that. Fifty would be Okay, what are you

115
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: expecting this afternoon? It depends on who you're asking in

116
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: our group about what we're protecting. But I think I

117
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: think right now seventy basis points is probably the most

118
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: likely outcome just give in that. It's almost like they

119
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: backed themselves into a corner having that story come out.

120
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't know whether or not leak or not up

121
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: a purposeful leak, but it's almost like if they don't

122
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: do seventy five basis points, it won't go over well

123
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: with the markets. Um, so it probably STUDI five basis

124
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: points and maybe a lot more hawkish language. By the way,

125
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: you're not alone out there. I've noticed, Uh sometimes a

126
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: chief strategists like Marco Kolanovitch doesn't agree with his chief

127
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: economist or his CEO. So, um, it seems like the

128
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: people within our group, by the way, well, uh, the

129
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: problem is obviously inflation, and the FED needs to deal

130
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: with that. Whether it goes fifty now or seventy five

131
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: now and then seventy five next week or fifty next

132
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: week probably probably isn't that important, right Are they going

133
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: to be able to get prices down? Can they really

134
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: do anything about it? Vince was saying, you know what,

135
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: this isn't something that monetary policy can necessarily solve. So

136
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: monson paulicit being as the class sick blunt instrument. I mean,

137
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: there's the supply side. Um, of course, all the supply

138
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: factors energy prices as well from the war, that has

139
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: been a big contributor to to inflation. But at the

140
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: same time, on the demand side, all the money that

141
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: people saved during the pandemic broadly speaking, of course, all

142
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: the fiscal support that has caused a huge um increase

143
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: in demand, all that contempt demand. So what the FED

144
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: was trying to do and what most central bankers are

145
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: trying to do is basically a collaborative. I can say

146
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: that claber of the demand side with higher rates, and

147
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: that will at least go some way to bring inflation lower.

148
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: Maybe not quickly as quickly as we had expected, but

149
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: it will go some way towards doing that. So also today, Jennifer,

150
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: we had some economic data come out this morning. UM,

151
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: retail sales a little bit weaker than expected. Any read

152
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: through there for you, It wasn't as I mean, I

153
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: don't think we should, even though consensus including US had

154
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: had a small increase expected for May. I don't think

155
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: some of the details were too too shocky. Um. A

156
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: lot of it was ours. I think that I was

157
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: going a half percent or something like that. Gasoline, gasoline

158
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: and sales are up a lot, but even X autos

159
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: and X gas, you know, still up mildly. Some of

160
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: the discretionary stuff was interesting, like sporting goods. I think

161
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: we're still higher and people were still dining out, so

162
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't all negative. But of course this is just

163
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: the start, and I think we're gonna start seeing the

164
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: big slow down cutting from the consumer. So how big

165
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: is the question right especially considering how much the consumer

166
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: um contributes to US economy growth. Is it going to

167
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: be big enough to bring us into a recession? Well,

168
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: right now, we're thinking more of a growth recession in

169
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: terms of like just floor grows and starting to bring

170
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: the unemployment rate a little bit higher. UM, not an

171
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: outrates recession that we are all accustomed to hearing about.

172
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Does everyone in your group expect just that, Jennifer, Yes,

173
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: that is because that is a very widespread view with

174
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: an opera on our group. UM. I will continue to

175
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: lean on the fact that as of right now, the

176
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: labor mark it continues to be super strong, but that

177
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: cannot last forever. And I think I mentioned this at

178
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: least over the last few months, that you know, anyone

179
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: who has several different job offers out there, you know,

180
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: I hope that they're taking one of them now because

181
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: it's not going to be available forever. I mean, you

182
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: can I'm imagining companies who perhaps have been looking for

183
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm gonna say, like, you know, a

184
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: dozen people to hire, and if they haven't been able

185
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: to fill those jobs, mean at this point they were

186
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: thinking maybe we don't need them, you know, and demands

187
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: starting to taper off, maybe we won't be needing all

188
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: those you know, we don't won't be needed to hire

189
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: all theople of people. So you have to imagine that

190
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: it's going to start tapering off at some point. So Jennifer,

191
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: just going back to last Friday with that CPI print,

192
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: which was such a surprise I think to the marketplace,

193
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: and we saw it into trading in the markets Friday,

194
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday. UM, a little bit of hindsight here.

195
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: What's your kind of main takeaway from that. I feel

196
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: that every country around the world continues to perhaps misread

197
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: the inflation data or kind of expect some expecting plation

198
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: to start tapering off, but again it hasn't happened. Jeff Standon,

199
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: this is why you're seeing all these central banks. You know,

200
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: doing stepping up to do more, you know, except of

201
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: course for the bag Japan. But um, you know again

202
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: because we always it's just it's just continued to surprise

203
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: on the high side, and I think it's going to

204
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: continue doing so until it doesn't. By the way, I

205
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: was thinking today, I was putting together a list of

206
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: the things I could fund shorting jgbs. I mean, what

207
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: a cake walk, right? What are jgbs Japanese government bonds.

208
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna borrow Japanese tenure bonds,

209
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: sell them short and then like instead of a mortgage,

210
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: or instead of corporate financing, or instead of selling treasuries,

211
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: the US government could fund operations shorting jgbs. It's a

212
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: there's no loss, there's no downside of this trade, Jennifer

213
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: and Governor Caruda could continues to say that, you know

214
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: that their economy is a lot different and that is

215
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: not the time to raise rates. There you go, all right,

216
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lee. Always appreciate getting a few minutes of your

217
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: time on this FED days. We wait the FED statement

218
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: two pm. Wall Street time. I am back here stuck

219
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: in New York City, UM, with my friend Katie Greifeld,

220
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: with whom I anchor every Monday, the E T F

221
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: I Q Show on Bloomberg Television times on Mondays, Wednesdays.

222
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes on Wednesdays we're waiting for a decision from upper upper,

223
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: upper management on that. But she also focuses big lely

224
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: on cryptocurrencies and it has been a world of hurt.

225
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: Katie Gray felt, what with what was it called tara

226
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: Um Luna and then UM what was the Celsius? And

227
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: now Three Arrows? What's names? I From what I can

228
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: tell talking to UM investors to traders, this is just

229
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: looking like a beautiful liquidation cascade that obviously, with Tera

230
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: blowing up, we knew that a lot of people, a

231
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: lot of high profile backers were involved in Tera, and

232
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: you've sort of seen the slow drip out of that.

233
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: Slow is a relative term. Everything happens faster in crypto,

234
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: and now it seems like, uh, this is really happening,

235
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: uh with a much greater intensity. A lot of leverage

236
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: is getting flushed out right now. And there's a lot

237
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: of questions about a lot of those names you just mentioned,

238
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: such as Three Arrows and some of the other big

239
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: hedge funds in the space. All right, talk to us

240
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: about coin Base, because that you know, a lot of

241
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: folks were leading the financial services industry and saying, oh,

242
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: this platform, this is the future. Um speaking of Cascade, Yes,

243
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: and then boy and a lot of folks lost their

244
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: jobs and so on. So what do we know about

245
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: these trading platforms? Uh? You know, everybody just focuses on

246
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: the bitcoin and the price of bitcoin because you can

247
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: see it on your Bloomberg terminal, But how about some

248
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: of these exchanges, the kind of the plumbing. It's a

249
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: great point that it's not just the price of bitcoin.

250
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: You have an entire industry built around it as well.

251
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: And if you think about coin Base, obviously, the news

252
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: from this week was that they're going to lay off

253
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: eight of their workforce. This, of course, I mean they've

254
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: hired aggressively just this year, a loan adding. I think people,

255
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: this isn't entirely just a crypto problem. I mean, we've

256
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: heard about a lot of crypto layoffs, but if you

257
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: think about what's happening in the broader economy, we're seeing

258
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: it with a bunch of other companies as well. I mean,

259
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: if you think about what we heard about Amazon and Walmart,

260
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: they overstaffed too. It's just that this is hitting at

261
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: a very painful time for crypto and you are seeing

262
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: again some of the biggest names out their coin base

263
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: having to announce these massive layoffs. We heard from Block

264
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: five this week as well, laying off of their workforce. Interestingly, though,

265
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: krack In just today another exchange came out and said

266
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: that there are launching a global hiring push. So some

267
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: of these firms are trying to swim against the current here. Yeah.

268
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: Actually I got to talk to Nick Carter yesterday from

269
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: Castle Island Ventures. I was very excited about that. Him mustache. Yes,

270
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: his mustache is awesome, and he says, plus, he also

271
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: is one of the smartest voices on crypto. He was

272
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: one of the first UM financial analysts on crypto on

273
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: the street. And um he says, Look, if you're if

274
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: you a good smart engineer with good experience, which a

275
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: lot of those people from coin based are, it's gonna

276
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: be no problem for you to find another job in

277
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: crypto or in tech. In in a broader sense. Um,

278
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: but there is an issue, it seems with steaked ether

279
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: like this first became apparent UM when when we saw

280
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: that uh lido one platform was holding thirty one of

281
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: all steaked ether. It's a custodian right for others. And

282
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: and now, um, we've heard that the difficulty bomb has

283
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: been delayed. This was a way to kind of speed

284
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: up the merger from proof of work ether to proof

285
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: of steak ether. Now Three Arrows has been liquidating its

286
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: steaked ether for regular ether. What's what's going on with

287
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: this with the merge, as they call it, the switch

288
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: to a more environmentally friendly way of minding crypto. It's

289
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: a great question. We've been waving on the merged for

290
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: a while. The latest we know is it's supposed to

291
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: take place later this year. And like you said, I

292
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: mean this ties back into the Three Rows capital conversation.

293
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: One of the most prolific crypto hedge funds out there.

294
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: They have a lot of exposure to steaked ether and

295
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: they had ten billion dollars under management. That's a lot

296
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: of money. That is a lot of money. They were

297
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: one of the investors in Terra. We know that they

298
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: have exposures to state ether. All of the things that

299
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: are kind of going wrong right now, so with steaked ether,

300
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: so it's supposed to be redeemable for one ether after

301
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: the merge takes place, but we don't know when exactly

302
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. And what's happening now is you're

303
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: seeing this big dislocation between the price of staked ether

304
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: and ether itself, and that is really painful for funds

305
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: such as Three Rows Capital. By the way, we're seeing

306
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Television, I see Michael Sunnenshine from Gray Scale

307
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: Capital is talking to Guy and Alex and Three Arrows

308
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: reportedly had a more than five percent stake in the

309
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: Gray Scale e T F. Right, Yes, not an e

310
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: T F Are you sorry? Yes? So they this is

311
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: data is as of December that they had that five

312
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: percent stake in uh Grace Scales Bitcoin Trust. Unclear whether

313
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: they still do, unclear whether they're selling that right now

314
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: in the secondary market. But I mean, if you think

315
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: about hedge funds, they would sell their most liquid things first,

316
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I would imagine g v D

317
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: two shares are a little bit more liquid than steaked ether,

318
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: but it's hard to know at this point as we

319
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: again just see leverage get wiped out across the industry.

320
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: And you know, with that, Katie, a lot of folks

321
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: are saying I told you so. Even Bill Gates kind

322
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: of jumped onto that bandwagon here, who are the true believers?

323
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: Where are they? Who are they in crypto? Because uh,

324
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: it was obviously it is still a very big story.

325
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: It was never Bill Gates, Yes, you can start with that.

326
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: He was never believer, Jamie Diamond, Warren Buffett, especially really

327
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: old people. Yeah, not not true believers. Well, I mean

328
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: it's funny if you think about people, if you just

329
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: think about what's different between now this moment and the first.

330
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: It just feels like traditional Wall Street has too many

331
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: arms into crypto to completely withdrawal. So we'll see if

332
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: that's a layer that's involved with this crash. But it's

333
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: funny to talk about sun and Shine. So he is

334
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: at Gray Skill, he's the CEO. There a song to

335
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: him rate before his BTV interview. He's a true believer.

336
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: He's a true believer. He made the point that you

337
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: see periods like this, you get a lot of leverage

338
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: flushed out, and basically it leads out the players who

339
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: were maybe playing it a little too fast with the

340
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: leverage too cute, too cute. It tends to be a

341
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: healthy period. But that's what you would expect to hear

342
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: from some of those true believers. Michael sn and Shine.

343
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely right. But the bottom line, um, even though we're

344
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of unwinding of leverage, this isn't going away.

345
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, even though we've seen a crash in the price,

346
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: it's not sound like a man your anchors a weekly

347
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: crypto show. Also, because I just heard David Rubinstein say

348
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: that yesterday. I mean, if you think about our world,

349
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: and again I'm a journalist, I have no opinions are

350
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: increasingly digital world kind of makes sense that digital money

351
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: would be a part of it, that our lives would

352
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: move increasingly online. I mean, I think about the true

353
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: directory of my own life. All right, Katy gray Felt,

354
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us as always talking

355
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: about the crypto, all things crypto. She's a Cross Asset

356
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: reporter Bloomberg Quick Take co anchor. We are in Dallas, Texas.

357
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: We bring in Matthew Forster, c I O and Managing

358
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: director b n Y Melon Lockwood Advisors. Matt, it's a

359
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 1: fed day today. I'd love you know, this is kind

360
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: of all we've been talking about here on radio, on television.

361
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: What do you guys at bing and Y melon thinking

362
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: about your feather reserve. Well, some of them that might

363
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: be sci fi fans might like to have read um

364
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And if you remember,

365
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: that book comes with two bright bold words on the

366
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: back that says, don't panic, right, And uh, you know,

367
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: I think if you look at what has occurred around

368
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: the world today with central banks, there's just a little

369
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: tinge of panic. We have Ben Brunankee with an op ed, uh,

370
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: you know, talking about the FED credibility and that this

371
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: isn't the seventies. We have the e c B with

372
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: this unusual communicate which talks about how they're gonna be

373
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: flexible around anti fragmentation. Uh. These kinds of unusual terms

374
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: and literally vague wording I think doesn't maybe help. Uh.

375
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: And we also, of course have the FED decision today,

376
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 1: where you know, there's some discussion about how far they

377
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: could go and whether or not a move with just

378
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, we were thinking that fifty

379
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: basis points was baked into the cake. Um and here

380
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: we have seventy five, then possibly even a hundred, and

381
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: it looks like the market is completely shifted to having

382
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: seventy five basis today points today, and usually the FED

383
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: does not disappoint the markets when they've already built into

384
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: that pricing, right. So I would have said fifty a

385
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: few days ago, and now I think it's maybe likely

386
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: that they got exactly and that's kind of what I

387
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: would think consensus might be. Hey, man, as we look

388
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: around here, I see a lot of your you know,

389
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: the firms you do, your partners. I looking at Janie Henderson,

390
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you know, Eating Vance and all these folks,

391
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: and they're here, which is good because it's been a

392
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: couple of years. What are you hearing from your partners,

393
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 1: the folks that you would be in my melandue business with,

394
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: because it's been a crazy two and a half years

395
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: and has sent and uh. Yeah. The important point for

396
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: us to remember is that we work with all of

397
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: these large firms here. We're there are suppliers to us

398
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: on a third party asset manager. We've managed some of

399
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: our own, uh, and so we work with all of

400
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: them and we hear from them around products. So yesterday

401
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: we did a little survey about how their product mix

402
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: might be changing, and there's a lot of what's happened,

403
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: you know, so far a year to date, and what

404
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: we see is that our main partners are much more

405
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: concerned about the current capital market environment. It they were

406
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: just a couple of months ago. So you know, a

407
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: few months ago at the end of last year, of

408
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: course markets were roiling um and all of these other pieces, uh,

409
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: you know for all kinds of more esoteric products, maybe

410
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: niche year products were highlighting what they wanted to think about,

411
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: you know, direct indexing, e s g. All kinds of

412
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: other things. Now you know, they're back to focusing on

413
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: the basics and protecting their clients against no really challenging

414
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: capital markets that we've seen so far this year. Yeah,

415
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: I like so it being why Melon talked to us

416
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: about your business. I mean, again, the two and a

417
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: half years of this crazy market we've been going through.

418
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: Now we've got this inflation like we've never really seen

419
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have what they're saying is a couple

420
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: more months of bad prints on the inflation front. How

421
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: does that affect your business? How does that affect your clients? Well, Uh,

422
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: we're we've come through this fairly well. Uh and um,

423
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: that's because we've had some hedges inflaces, whether that's direct

424
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: equity hedges or hedges to say around a strong dollar

425
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: with reguards of our international currency, uh, exposure from international

426
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: equities that may not be ever. Remember, we have we

427
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 1: manage many different, hundreds of different portfolios for various clients.

428
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: Some of those are custom builds, some of those are

429
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: partners with the firms that you see here today. So

430
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: we provide a large group of of investments around to

431
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: our platforms and um, you know, all of those are

432
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: they're doing different things here. So hopefully we can find

433
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: something investors can find a way to find something that

434
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: they feel comfortable within this particular mark environment. Yeah, it's crazy.

435
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: I mean, anywhere you look this year, equities down plus stuff.

436
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: You know, the corporate bond index of Bloomberg Corporate bought

437
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: index totally turned down twelve thirteen percent. There's really been

438
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: no place to hide other than maybe, you know, commodities,

439
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, you maybe oil in your partner. Commodities and

440
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: energy have been the place to hide out. Even then,

441
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: you've seen a lot of volatility, but clearly they're they're

442
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: continue to be up, and I still think there's plenty

443
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: of opportunities there to continue to add to some of

444
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: your positions, because it doesn't look like any of these

445
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: uh trends that we've seen resolution in the current Ukraine.

446
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Other things are going to happen soon enough to affect

447
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: some of those market prices. Uh. You know, we'll have

448
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: to see how FED tightening continues to affect those prices.

449
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: I think that's likely that it will in time. But

450
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: you know, from the moment, we've got these big supply

451
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: and balances, uh, you know around agricultural commodities or or

452
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: or energy and to tricial commodity basket. So I think

453
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: there's still opportunities there. But uh, there are still places

454
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: to hedge, you know, with the FED tightening so much. Again,

455
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, people don't a lot of American advisors don't

456
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: think about this so much, but there's effects effects, you

457
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: know anything, you know, and all commodities are priced in dollars,

458
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: so you know, while the dollars rising, you're getting kind

459
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,080

00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,200
