1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: Single best idea on an Apple podcast it's a six 3 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: minute extravaganza, sometimes five, sometimes seven minutes. Today it could 4 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: be fifteen minutes. We'd bore you to death, but we 5 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: thank you for choosing a single best idea where we 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: really focus on two voices. We had such a strong 7 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: morning that we're gonna give you a bonus today. Michael 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: Nathanson will come along here with piercing comments on the 9 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 2: Olympics coming up. We're making jokes about it, but it's 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: not funny. There's billions of dollars involved. You're going to 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: just be stunned at what Nathanson says. First, so on 12 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: CPI and how the Federal Reserve system will react to it. 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: A former governor of the Fed, Randall Krasner, he is 14 00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: with at Chicago RAGU Rajin our leading financial economists there's 15 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: out of Brown University and go Wood, New Jersey, and 16 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: he's just absolutely definitive on the nuances. The path, an 17 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 2: old path is you just make it up as you go. 18 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: About thirty years ago, Alan Greenspan codified measured and that 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: you would get on a path and you'd stay on 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: a path in a measured way. Randy Krosner of the 21 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: Boost School Chicago on green spans measured, I don't. 22 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: Think they're going to do the measured pace. 23 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 4: I think there was pretty clear consensus even when I 24 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 4: was there, which is now a while ago, that measured 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 4: pace was not the best way to do things. 26 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: And so I think that they will move. 27 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 4: And you can see when they moved in place interest 28 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 4: rates up that was not at a measured pace. That 29 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 4: was pretty rapid. So I think they're gonna they'll bring 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 4: interest rates down. I think they'll bring them down somewhat 31 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 4: gradually at first, but if they see the libor market 32 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 4: really weakening, they'll start to move quickly. That'll be too 33 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 4: late to prevent the labor market from softenings substantially. 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: But they have to weigh the risks. 35 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 4: Of calling all clear too early, getting back into what 36 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 4: happened in the late seventies early eighties where they did 37 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 4: that and then inflation reignited and they had to raise 38 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 4: rates really high, had a really bad recession. 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 3: They'd rather wait a little bit, you. 40 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 4: Know, perhaps a little bit too long, to buy some 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 4: insurance against that upside inflation scenario. 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 3: But then they can cut and just have. 43 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 4: A slowdown, maybe a mild recession, but something that'd be 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 4: much less worse than what they had in the early. 45 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: Eighties, maybe a soft land. And there Randy Krassner, the 46 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: Booth School of Chicago, And of course what does all 47 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: this mean over the markets, Well, it meant price up, 48 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: yield down, the real yield. I watch carefully the inflation 49 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: adjust a ten year yield one measure of that idea, 50 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: and the real yield really broke below range the range 51 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: that I look at. The series I look at had 52 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 2: a bottom range of about one point ninety six percent, 53 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: and we plug ung below that down to one point 54 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: nine zero with a shock of a negative statistic on 55 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: one measure of CPI month over month, I think headline 56 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 2: CPI and it came back a little bit one point 57 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 2: ninety five percent, but we've decisively moved to the tippy 58 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: edge of the range or even lower in yield. That's 59 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: one of those ideas of disinflation. And then what it 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: means over to a market that just won't go down 61 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 2: Every afternoon. I watched the market take a bid at 62 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: two thirty PM, even more of a bid at three 63 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: point thirty. You look at the character of this bull market. 64 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: You try to look back at what the pros call 65 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: an analog, what was this bullmarket? Like Kate Moore of Blackrock. 66 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 5: I don't see a perfect analog right here. And I 67 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 5: know everyone wants to pick a period in history and 68 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 5: say it looks just like this, and it's a comfort. 69 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 5: You know, people like that comfort. But we are in 70 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 5: the midst of, I think a massive technological change here 71 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 5: with the advent of AI and as companies trying for 72 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 5: you out how to adopt AI and figure out the 73 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 5: use cases and what the best way to work with 74 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 5: this technology is, and I think that's going to lead 75 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 5: to these incredible bifurcation in the market. Companies that have 76 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 5: access to the technology have access to amazing data sets 77 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 5: and are using it appropriately, and those that don't. You're 78 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 5: starting to see that separation in earnings already. And I 79 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 5: just don't know that we, or at least in the 80 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 5: lifetime I've been in almost five decades, that we've seen 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 5: this significant of a technological change. 82 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: Kate Moore of black Rock. Huge debate there. Michael Darta 83 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: was really strong today and the idea of nominal GDP 84 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: is going to come down, and he's looking at some 85 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: serious recession tendencies within the market. He made very clear 86 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 2: this is a central bank fighting the last war. One 87 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: of the things we follow, and it's a real effort 88 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 2: at Paul Sweeney. As the entertainment business, the zaniness we 89 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: see in streaming, I don't know. I try to cancel 90 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: a streamer once every two weeks. I try to camp 91 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: so someone just as a good habit, and you try 92 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: to add up what you've got, but you don't know 93 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: what you're paying. Some of them they're like fifteen dollars 94 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: a month, but you can get it specially for six 95 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: dollars ninety five. It's a nuts business and the heart 96 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: of that is sports will make it. And Michael Nathanson 97 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: was on today of Moffatt Nathanson There absolutely definitive in entertainment. 98 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: They put out a twenty page report on cable TV 99 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: or cell phones or the entertainment the content that Michael follows, 100 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: everybody reads. It's hugely influential. And I set them up 101 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: with a question on the Olympics with NBC coming in 102 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: at one point two billion dollar large, everything's sold out. 103 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 2: It's all great. Da da da da da, And I 104 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: was thunderstruck at this guy with a lot of experience. 105 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 2: Michael Nathanson on the extravaganza in Paris. 106 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: I think the Olympic moment has passed us by. 107 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 3: I really do. 108 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: I think last time we talked with this previous Olympics 109 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: part of the problem is you don't know where to 110 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: find it. You know it's on Peacock and they've spread 111 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: it all out, and you know, sometimes the games are 112 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: in real time, so you know you're not in front 113 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: of the set or for your computer when things are happening. 114 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 4: I don't know. 115 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: I think, especially in European time zones, it's not ideal. 116 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: So I say to you, I'm more embarrassing Olympics and 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: other sports at this point in time. 118 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: Stunning from Michael Nathanson. That's single best idea for today. Again. 119 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: We're out on I was gonna say we're out on Netflix. 120 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: I'm thinking Nathan Si, No, folks, we're not out on Netflix. 121 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: I miss book. We're out on YouTube, which I think 122 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: is going to be bigger than Netflix based on what 123 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 2: the experts tell us. We're on YouTube. Go to your browser, Chrome, Google, whatever, 124 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 2: search YouTube, Bloomberg Podcasts, and then you subscribe and you 125 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 2: get everything from the Lisa Matteo Extravagance in La Tim 126 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: and Carroll in Seattle, all the other good conversations Alex 127 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: and Paul Sweeney Bloomberg Intelligence critically balance of power with 128 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: all that's going on in Washington on Apple car Play 129 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: on Android Auto as well, and from New York City 130 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: on a Little Bit Cooler Thursday on Apple Podcasts.
