We're honored 17 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: to bring you, Professor Stevenson to start things this morning. 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: Betsy Gerald Ford had an inflation scare and he put 19 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: out buttons that said whip inflation. Now that really didn't work. 20 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: Betsy Stevenson, what should be the policy prescription for our 21 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: next president of the United States to whip inflation? Now? 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I think we've actually done a pretty 23 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: good job whipping inflation. 24 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: Now. 25 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting, the honesty, So what should the 26 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: president do? You know, most people think that it's really 27 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: the purview of the Federal Reserve to handle inflation, and 28 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: they do that by trying to make sure that demand 29 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: is in line with supply. And what we saw in 30 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: the United States and frankly around the globe was demand 31 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: got ahead of supply, and we've seen that normalization start 32 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: to happen in a way that you know, we did 33 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: see rates rise all over the globe, but we've also seen. 34 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: Inflation come down, and it's come down much with. 35 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: A lot less pain than and then people anticipated. And 36 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: I think that that was because supply expanded. We didn't 37 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: just need to bring down demand, but we got to 38 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: expand supply. So I give you that whole long answer 39 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: because I think it does bring us back to what 40 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: can presidents do well. 41 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: Presidents can make sure that. 42 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: We have an environment that allows new businesses to thrive, 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: that allows you know, new businesses to form to expand. 44 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: That allows hiring to continue in a way that is 45 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: being additional people into the labor market. I think that's 46 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: one of the things that people get confused about. They 47 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: see a hot labor market and they say, oh, maybe 48 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: that's bad for inflation. 49 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: Right, it's male only that for. 50 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: Inflation if we can't find the people to hire. 51 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: BET's see the mail that Paul Sweeney and I get 52 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: is simple. They have fixed costs. America has to eat 53 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: an America has to find a place to sleep, and 54 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: housing is a disaster. Rent increases for a lot of people. 55 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: I understand in the West, particularly rents are coming down, 56 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: but the combination of housing and food leads to an 57 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: American public buried from twenty nineteen. Can we establish a 58 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: policy to assuage that pain? 59 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: You know, I think there are two separate things here. 60 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: So when we think about housing, you know, the main 61 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: issue with housing is always going to be why are 62 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: we building enough housing? Prices go up for housing when 63 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: there's more people who want housing than there are houses 64 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: out there. You know, I sort of laugh because I 65 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: literally got an email from a neighbor in the last 66 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: couple of days, uh, telling me about a horrible policy 67 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: that the city wants to pass in ann Arbor, Michigan, 68 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: that would increase density for the horrors increase density, and 69 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: you know the reality is we need to increase density. 70 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 3: If we're not increasing density, we're not going. 71 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: To bring down prices because the only way to bring 72 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: down prices is to build more supply, and that involves 73 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: having higher density. So I think housing is one of 74 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: these things where honestly progressives get themselves really worked up 75 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: about it, and then progressives also push policies that reduce 76 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: uh that reduce housing supply. So we've gone to face 77 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: the music on that one. I think it's very very 78 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: different from grocery price inflation. I think grocery play price inflation, 79 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: it is really the price. The grocery prices aren't going 80 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: to come down, but they are going to stabilize, and 81 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: they already have stabilized, and I think that that's we're 82 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: just going to have to adjust. 83 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 4: So, Professor, can you talk to us about the labor 84 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 4: market here. 85 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 5: We've seen some really strong labor data recently. 86 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,119 Speaker 4: I mean, the labor market has been so resilient here. 87 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 5: Can you give us your thoughts on kind of how 88 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 5: you view the US labor market particularly as it relates 89 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 5: to immigration and how that may be impacting the numbers 90 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 5: because labor is obviously something that the Federal Reserve is 91 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 5: looking at. 92 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was saying earlier, is that what 93 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: the Fed cares about is we think that the labor 94 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: market could be inflationary if the companies are trying to 95 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: hire and there aren't any additional people to hire, so 96 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: what will they do instead, Well, they'll start competing over 97 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: each over employees, and that competition will push up wages. 98 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: And then pushing up of wages will you know, spur inflation, 99 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: because if you're paying your workers more, ultimately you're going 100 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: to charge your customers more. Now if instead, when you 101 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: go to hire, there's some new people who are enter 102 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: the labor market, in other words, the labor markets expanding 103 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: along labor supply is expanding along with labor demand, then 104 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: we don't get any inflationary pressure. We actually get the opposite. 105 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: It actually reduces inflationary pressure. How do we get the 106 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: labor markets supply to expand there's only two ways. The 107 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: people who are already here become more likely to work, 108 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: or we bring in new people who are willing to 109 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: take the jobs. And what we've seen are both of 110 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: those things have happened. But really immigration has been important. 111 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: Betsy, I got one minute left. I got Michigan out 112 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: of state. It's seventy seven thousand dollars a year. We 113 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: just published Vanderbilt near one hundred thousand dollars a year. 114 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: When are we going to get a handle on the 115 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: madness of college cost? 116 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: You know, I think again it's a really complex issue. 117 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: The question on college costs are you. 118 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 3: Know, what are they paying for, what are they getting 119 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: and how are we going to fund that? 120 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: It? So, you know, there's tuition and then there's you know, 121 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: all sorts of things that people do on campus. 122 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: You know, I think we got to decompose that. 123 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: And then the last thing to not is remember those 124 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,119 Speaker 1: sticker prices do not reflect what most people actually pay. 125 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: So as long as we have rising inequality, we're going 126 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: to have higher sticker prices so that we can have 127 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: the people are paying the most help subsidize the people 128 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: who can't afford that. 129 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: But never enough time. Betsy Stevenson, thank you so much. 130 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: Truly one of America's best thinkers about our fractured political 131 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: economic policy. I have tried for over three weeks to 132 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: get this guy on. This is the single best gold 133 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: analyst on the culture and fabric of gold worldwide. I 134 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: know to the small bank, the Hong Kong, Shanghai and 135 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: Banking Corporation, and we are honored to bring global Wall 136 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: Street James Steele. James. The back of the postcard analysis 137 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: is China. China at the margin is buying up all 138 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: the gold. Who are they buying it from? 139 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 6: Well, good morning, Tom, and thank you, thank you for 140 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 6: having me. I think much of the reason is not 141 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 6: just China, but abroad, and it's the same reason. It's 142 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 6: a default play. In the case of China, specifically, the 143 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 6: property markets have been very weak, the equity markets have 144 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 6: been very weak, and this narrows the universe that investors 145 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 6: but you know, big and small, are likely to look for, 146 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 6: and gold is a great safe haven. Now we're seeing 147 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 6: the same thing abroad, but the equity and property markets 148 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 6: haven't fallen abroad. And in the case of Western markets, 149 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,119 Speaker 6: I think what we've seen is asset managers, portfolio managers 150 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 6: and the like have recognized that equities are very high. 151 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 6: They have no choice in many cases but to be 152 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 6: in the equity markets. But they have a choice about 153 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 6: how they hedge that exposure, and and they've chosen gold. 154 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: When when the Chinese buy gold as a general statement, 155 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: is it bars of gold? Is it old krugar reads? 156 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: Is it bracelets? Are they down at Tiffany's in Shanghai 157 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: buying some gold? Babble? What what do you buy when 158 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: you buy gold in China? 159 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 6: Well, it's a it's a mix between China and India. 160 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 6: Fifty percent of all the jewelry gold, jewelry in the 161 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 6: world is bought, and roughly it's a two thirds jewelry 162 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 6: and one third barn coin. So and the investors who 163 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 6: are looking specifically to hedge themselves more from equity market 164 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 6: and property market weakness, you will will favor the barn coins. 165 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 5: So do we have a sense here where gold should be? 166 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 5: I mean, it just is set all time highs every day. 167 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 5: I'm not sure people have a sense of how to 168 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 5: value this thing. 169 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 6: Well, yes, I would agree, and I think that's a universal. 170 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 2: Problem. 171 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 6: Certainly, to look at costs of production won't help you 172 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 6: at all, because the market is well above the average 173 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 6: or in sustaining costs of production or any measure that 174 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 6: you want to look at with maybe except for one 175 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 6: or two gold mines in the whole world what you 176 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 6: would and some of the traditional barometers also are not 177 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 6: working very well. For example, we were looking for one 178 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 6: hundred and fifty one hundred and sixty basis points. When 179 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 6: I say we, I mean Wall Street in January. That's 180 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 6: contracted to below seventy five basis points of cuts that 181 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 6: would normally have led you to think that gold recalibrate 182 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 6: lower between January and now, but the opposite has happened. 183 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 6: Real rates are positive, that should be providing headwinds, and 184 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 6: the dollar has been reasonably firm. None of those things 185 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 6: seem to be making a huge impact. And what I 186 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 6: would add is I think the geopolitical element has been 187 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 6: very strong. We've seen a lot of geopolitically led safe 188 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 6: haven buying coming in, and there's academic studies to show 189 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 6: that gold hedge as well against geopolitical risk as well 190 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 6: as it does against financial market risk. So I would 191 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 6: say right now we are in a bit of a 192 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 6: no man's land here where where the traditional issues are 193 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 6: not having what would not provide you with the guidance 194 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 6: that you would normally think now over time, physical demand 195 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 6: outside of China is suffering it was down last year. 196 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,239 Speaker 2: In India. 197 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 6: A ten grand bar in India is now seventy one 198 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 6: thousand rupees double what it was just a few years ago. 199 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 6: Jewelry demand is declining. Most people that bought coins have 200 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 6: already wanted to buy coins, have already done so. And 201 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 6: I would suspect that if we get in equities correction, 202 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 6: and I'm not saying that we will, that's well outside 203 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 6: my pay grade, but that itself could bring an end 204 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 6: to some of the safe haven portfolio led buying that's 205 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 6: coming into gold. 206 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: So those things, that's a Chinese central bank. That's a 207 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: Chinese central bank on the line in order to steal. 208 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 2: Being sure he understands they're buying. This morning, Paul jump 209 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 2: in with a. 210 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 4: Question, Hey, James, just looking again. 211 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 5: Gold's had a great run here, up fourteen percent or 212 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 5: so year to date, but silver up over sixteen percent. 213 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 5: I'm looking at my GLCO page on the Bloomberg Terminal 214 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 5: Global Commodities prices, and I see that silver's up over 215 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 5: sixteen percent. 216 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 4: What's the driver there? 217 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 6: Well, there, I think we have more of a fundamental reason. 218 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 6: The industrial demand is very good for silver, particularly photovol 219 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 6: tak Now there has been a catch up with gold 220 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 6: for many many months. Silver did not rally in the 221 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 6: wake of gold, and I think it's been recognized that 222 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 6: it's undervalued compared to gold, So visa v gold, there's 223 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 6: also a bit of catch up to do. But even here, 224 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 6: as we get above twenty seven dollars, you do there's 225 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 6: a lot of silver in the world, and there's a 226 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 6: lot of it above ground, and we're going to see 227 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 6: more recycling. And we see very heavy recycling, particularly when 228 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 6: we get to the thirty dollars mark, as we did 229 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 6: back when during the Reddit fiasco and the silver ran 230 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 6: up to thirty dollars, we saw a lot of recycling, 231 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 6: and I think we can expect the same thing if 232 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 6: silver gets up there again. 233 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 2: Help me here right now. I mean, Lisa and I 234 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: were talking this morning and she's got her irony Alsa Peretti, 235 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: a g and necklace in Tiffany's in silver for five 236 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: four hundred dollars. To Paul's good question in Lisa's interest 237 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 2: in the Alsa Peretti a Gia necklace. Is silver is 238 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: silver investible or emotional? 239 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 6: Like gold, silver has a much greater industrial component. Fifty 240 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 6: five percent of silver demand is in industry goes to 241 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 6: industry and manufacturing, whereas it's just six or so percent 242 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 6: in gold. But it is a smaller market in the 243 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 6: sense of on the financial end of it, and that 244 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 6: so it can be moved very quickly and typically in 245 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 6: bull and bear markets, silver will outperform gold, both to 246 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 6: the up and the downside. But it hasn't done that 247 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 6: this time. 248 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: Gold has led the way right. 249 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: It is. 250 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 6: It is an investible medal, and it is a precious medal, 251 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 6: but it doesn't have the financial market purview that goldhouse. 252 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: James Steele honored to have you one, James Steele. He'll 253 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: be on single best idea today. Have to have him on. 254 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: He's a legend with HSBC. There we see you again anytime. Well, 255 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: James Steele, We'll see you again at gold four thousand 256 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: and ounce. How about that right now? Liz Ane Saunders 257 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: on the equity markets. Lizzy, we got to be quick 258 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: here this morning. But it's simple we've been talking about 259 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: we just can't correct. Why do we not go down 260 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: ten percent is a normal and healthy market event. 261 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 7: Well, let me give you the actual stats. Tom. You've 262 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 7: had no more than a two percent draw down in 263 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 7: the SMP year to date at the index level only 264 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 7: three percent for the NASDAC, but the average member maximum 265 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 7: draw down for the SMP is negative ten. For the 266 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 7: Nasdaq it's negative twenty eight percent. So you've had corrections 267 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 7: under the surface. It's just happened via a process of rotation. 268 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 7: That's not a bad thing. I think everybody would probably 269 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 7: choose that version of a correction, whether it's just correcting 270 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 7: accesses or correcting concentration, not a bad backdrop. 271 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 4: Can this market work higher if tech is not leading? 272 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 7: Yeah? In fact, tech hasn't been leading. Over the past 273 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 7: month or so. You've seen Energy at the top. Energy's 274 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 7: got one hundred percent of its stocks trading about fifty 275 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 7: day moving averages, and behind that are sectors like materials 276 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 7: and industrials, financials, even to some degree in utility. So yeah, 277 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 7: we're seeing it. 278 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 2: Away from your remit. But what does CPI matter tomorrow, 279 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: liz En Saunders. 280 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 7: It shouldn't matter just at the flash of the level, 281 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 7: either on headline or core. I think what's important now, 282 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 7: given that the fed's focus is on PCE, Core, PCE, 283 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 7: core services, X housing, is how CPI, and in addition, 284 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 7: PPI kind of maps to what the PCE reading. So 285 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 7: I think what will be more important is economists in 286 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 7: then figuring out what does that mean for the next 287 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 7: PCE print. I think that's what stuff should be focused on. 288 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: If we have resilient it's like an alphabet soup CP I, 289 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: p P I PCE. If we have a resilient inflation 290 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: Lizenne Sanders, does that suggest higher revenues due to a 291 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: more buoyant nominal GDP. 292 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,959 Speaker 7: Well, that's certainly what we got during the higher inflation area, 293 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 7: so a very strong top line growth. You didn't see 294 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 7: it in terms of bottom line growth because there was 295 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 7: that larger differential that brought real change much lower. But yeah, 296 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 7: well Lseql, I think it boosts top line, but the 297 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 7: margin story is what comes into play as it relates 298 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 7: to the bottom line. 299 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 5: Lizzie, and we get earnings kicking off in Earnest later 300 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 5: this week. 301 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 4: What do you expect to see? What do you think 302 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 4: the market needs to see? 303 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 7: Well, expectation is around five percent and then a trends higher. 304 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 7: The consensus right now for calendar you're twenty twenty four 305 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 7: is about ten percent. But I think it's not just 306 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 7: things like the beat rate and the percent by which 307 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 7: companies a beat, but what the outlook is for the 308 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 7: latter part of twenty twenty four, because that's embedded in 309 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 7: forward pe and I'm not sure there's a lot of 310 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 7: confidence in the out quarters. So it's not just the 311 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 7: current season, but the outlook not just for earnings for share, 312 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 7: but also the profit margin story. 313 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 2: You've been doing this a few years. What do you 314 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 2: make for liz Anne Sanders of James Diamond's sixty two 315 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: page m DNA and MDNA When you study the CFA 316 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: was like two pages long and it was written by 317 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: four people in PR. I think it's a jewellism. What 318 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 2: do you think of the value of a sixty two 319 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 2: page m DNA. 320 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 7: Well, I can't actually answer that because I haven't read 321 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 7: the sixty two pages yet, so I've just seen headlines 322 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 7: only provided a pretty wide range in terms of inflation 323 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 7: and rates. I think I saw some reference, you know, 324 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 7: to two to eight percent. So I got to start 325 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 7: talking in wide ranges like that, because it basically, you know, 326 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 7: sets up that you're not wrong. You can say I 327 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 7: nailed it. It's on my reading list. 328 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: It's on a reading list. But she's actually dead on 329 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 2: about CEOs of Paul yeah, taking a wide view to sit. 330 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 2: Why did you get one. 331 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 5: Morning, Lizanne. How about valuations in this market? We've had 332 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 5: that big move off of the October lows. Here I'll 333 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 5: be really running up against some vaguation parameters. 334 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean you got twenty one on forward pe. 335 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 7: It's less if you take some of the megacap names out. 336 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 7: The rub is that valuation is stretched, it's rich, whatever 337 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 7: term you want to use. But it's a terrible market 338 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 7: timing tool, just like sentiment. Sentiment's frothy, it's a terrible 339 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 7: market timing tool. So sinema can be frothy, and valuations 340 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 7: can be rich, and they can stay there for years, 341 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 7: as we all learned in the late nineties. So as 342 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 7: a backdrop, I think it's a risk factor, but it 343 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 7: doesn't tell you anything about timing. 344 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 2: Saunders thinking so much. Greatly great, and I appreciate Bloomberg 345 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: surveillance in our newspaper, the Lisa Mateo our Lisa has 346 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 2: survived the eclipse. 347 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 4: I did, but I didn't get to see it. 348 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 8: One I didn't have the glasses, and two the clouds 349 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 8: rolled in, all kids outside looking up and there was 350 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 8: nothing to speak. 351 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 5: I thought of you yesterday because in my little area, 352 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 5: a bunch of people came out and they did not 353 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 5: have glasses. Fortunately I had extras, So I was the 354 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 5: glass of the day bearer here and I was thinking, 355 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 5: who would not get glasses or who would get the 356 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 5: wrong kind of glasses? 357 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 4: Could ever like that would be? 358 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 8: Well, it has to do with that, because how are 359 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 8: people's eyes feeling this morning? 360 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 4: You know? 361 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 8: So do you have dry eyes from kind of looking 362 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 8: too long? Or is it something a little bit more 363 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 8: severe like retinal damage. This was actually from the Washington Post. 364 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 8: Pretty interesting. Experts are saying, if you use the glasses, 365 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 8: you're fine, but there were the fakes out there too 366 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 8: that you also have to be wary of. But if 367 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 8: you have symptoms like soreness, pain, blurriness of vision, if 368 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 8: you see gray spots that don't go away, they're saying, 369 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 8: check with your doctor. And it doesn't happen right away. 370 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 8: This can take a few days a few hours to 371 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 8: emerge after kind of looking at the sun for a 372 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 8: long time. But the thing to consider is how long 373 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 8: your symptoms laugh So if you these things persist over 374 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 8: after using eye drops, if you still see blurry, if 375 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 8: you still see things like that, definitely call your eyes. 376 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 2: This is really helpful. Thank you for doing this, Lisa 377 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 2: one tale. But the answer is it's not right away. 378 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 2: It can happen now. It can be two days out, 379 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: three days out, a week out. 380 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 8: No, definitely, So just consider this also has to do 381 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 8: with the eclipse. So Airbnb bookings, they surge during the 382 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 8: eclipse a lot of people. Airbnb says twenty five percent 383 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 8: of its guests in the US with bookings for Sunday 384 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 8: night were for a stay in that path of. 385 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 5: Total it's a great map in that story. Yeah, it 386 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 5: just shows you you're coming up from Texas, you remain unbelievable. 387 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 3: It's crazy. 388 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 8: And even holidays like Memorial Day, you know, Labor Day, 389 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 8: fourth and July weekend, so it was big. So it 390 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 8: shows that Americans like this, you know travel, Yeah, right, 391 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 8: we should have more eclipses more often. But they're saying 392 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 8: twenty twenty four travel though, looks a little bit weaker. 393 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 8: A lot of it depending on China, you know what's 394 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 8: going on in China. Airbnb bookings, holding the Expedia, they've 395 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 8: all said that they expect things to kind of slow 396 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 8: down toward the end of the year. People not traveling 397 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 8: as much. 398 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm traveling, but say I just paid. 399 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 2: For economy seats across the pond and I was shocked 400 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 2: what it cost. Oh I just this idea that it's 401 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: pulled back. I'm like, show me, please show me what 402 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 2: else do? Yes? 403 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 8: Oh this one I really like. This was from the 404 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 8: New York Times. A Brooklyn school is keeping its doors 405 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 8: open for twelve hours. This is going to help parents 406 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 8: who are the working families. It's going to help increase 407 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,239 Speaker 8: enrollment because enrollment has been down. The kids may not 408 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 8: be thrilled about it all the time, but a lot 409 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 8: of the kids don't want to stay and they wanted 410 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 8: to say extra. So it's Brooklyn Charter School and Bedsteye 411 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 8: open seven am to seven pm, all completely free. 412 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 4: Okay. 413 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 8: The sharp decline in students in urban schools parents working 414 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 8: longer hours, right, you have the long waiting list for 415 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 8: after school programs. A lot of people can't afford it 416 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 8: as well, so they're testing it out. So they read 417 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 8: books like at seven am, you know, before school starts 418 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 8: at eight thirty. They go straight through school at four 419 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 8: and then from four to seven pm, they get meals, 420 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 8: they get served dinner, they do some after extra activities 421 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 8: and they get to sit down and do their homework too. 422 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 8: So they're testing it out to see how this works. 423 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: It's a home new world. I mean, it's just so different. 424 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: From and I wonder why enrollments are down just in general. 425 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 8: You know, Well, they're saying a lot of people, especially 426 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 8: in inner cities, they left during the pandemic and they 427 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 8: haven't haven't come come back, and that they lost thirty 428 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 8: percent that school. 429 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: A lot of people, people of means, moved out to 430 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: Long Island and they haven't come back. And it's just 431 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 2: that as simple, this sort of goes to that idea. 432 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: What is Paul, Wednesday's the busiest day of the weekend. Yeah, Manhattan. 433 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 5: I'm looking at people as we speak, coming down the 434 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 5: curved escalator at Bloomberg. 435 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 2: Building out to the big Wednesday. 436 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. 437 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: I think it's nuts. Don't get me going, They're gonna 438 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 2: get in trouble. What else? What are you? 439 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 8: And finally, Utah, it's become the tech hub powers of 440 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 8: America's job market. So this is a Wall Street Journal 441 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 8: study with Moody's Analytics. The rankings a termine the strongest 442 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 8: labor market based on five things. Okay, was the unemployment rate, 443 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 8: the labor force participation rate, changes unemployment levels, and also 444 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 8: the size of labor force and wages. So here's what 445 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 8: they found out. Salt Lake City the country's hottest job 446 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 8: market in twenty twenty three. You've been there, Paul, you 447 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 8: know about it. It was followed by three cities in Florida. Jacksonville, Orlando, 448 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 8: and Tampa. Miami also made the top ten. But they're 449 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 8: calling it the Silicon Slopes. 450 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 5: You know who I think was kind of one of 451 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 5: the first major companies to move out there was Goldman 452 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 5: Sachs about ten years. A neighbor mine was the COO 453 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 5: there and he was his thing to think about where 454 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 5: do we go with our big operations thing, and it 455 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 5: chose Salt Lane. 456 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 2: Where were ten years? Where are we for the census 457 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 2: of two thousand and thirty.

And frankly, other major East Coast 463 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: cities where are we in ten years? 464 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 5: Paul, I think the trend I mean our entire my 465 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 5: at least my entire lifetime. It's been the sun Belt, 466 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 5: and we've been pitching the Sunbelt for thirty or forty 467 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 5: years and it's and it just got another you know, 468 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 5: just surge here during the pandemic. 469 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 4: Why not so we. 470 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: Could get a cabana next thing, you know, I think 471 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 2: mcglon's and Coral Gables, right, and we's go about six 472 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 2: thousand square feet and he's got the penthouse to the breakers. 473 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: But the bottom line is we can move the whole 474 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: at Lisa, can you moved to Florida with us? 475 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 8: I wouldn't mind. 476 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 7: I have found there. 477 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 4: Let's go, let's go. 478 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, what do you think, ken Fellia, 479 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 2: what do you think our global technical director?
