1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: Single best idea and we're going to keep it short today.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: The news flow here just absolutely extraordinary. Is you know,

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: you come in on a Wednesday before Christmas is sort

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: of like you know, okay, there's CPI great service sector

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: was a little bit higher. Excuse me, thank you Ira

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: Jersey of Bloomberg Intelligence. There you know, like two minutes out,

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: he's got the key statistics. Service sector inflation is running

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: at a four and a half percent level. What else

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: do you need to know? And you know it's great

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: to see in the market lift here off of Apple

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: and Broadcommon, the distraction of a grocery merger blowing up

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: and to the as we tape this, I'm not sure

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: if Mandoleese is going after Hershey Pennsylvania. I don't maybe

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: they get the Hershey bears it as well. That's a

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: hockey team for my childhood. Anyway, it's crazy day, so

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: let's get to it quickly. Here Andrew Sheets joined from

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: Morgan Stanley, and you know, to me, the great vector

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: is is inflation flat. Good morning, Jim biarn'co. Brilliant call.

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: Good morning, Lindsay Pieg's a brilliant call, Good morning, Mohammed Alarian,

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: brilliant call. Or do we have a vector of disinflation

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: Ander Sheets of Morgan Stanley.

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: We do see disinflation in place, although you know not

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: yet you know inflation is still holding up through the

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: end of the year. Where we, I think are are

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: a little bit more optimistic on inflation than the consensus

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: is next year, where we see inflation coming down and

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: I think importantly it's really coming down in the first

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 3: half of the year, where for the incoming Trump administration,

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: we think it's going to be a case where policy

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: has kind of fast announcement but slow implementation. You don't

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: get the inflationary effects of tariffs of immigration changes until

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: kind of in the back half of twenty twenty five,

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: and in the first part of the year. We think

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: that a lot of inflation which is being driven by

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: shelter auto insurance, that that can come down, that those

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: series are running well ahead of where the real economy

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: markets for those are, and that some of the difficult

39
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: seasonality in January in February, which previously is boosted inflation,

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: we think that actually sets an attractive bar that might

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: make it a little bit easier for inflation to be

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: a little bit better than expected. So we do see

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: inflation coming down. We see that disinflation the first half

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: of the year, and we think that will mean that

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: the FED cuts not just this month but in January

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: as well.

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: Andre Sheets and Morgan Stanley with their call, and there's

48
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: like eighteen other calls out there as well. But to

49
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: Iira Jersey's point, I just am absolutely fascinated on an

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: easy rate cut December eighteenth. Then what for the Fed

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: is a huge opening question. It was great to have

52
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: in the studios today Jay Brison of Wells Fargo Economics.

53
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: Doctor Bryson was really really tentative given the uncertainties that

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: are out there with a Wells Fargo call again looking

55
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: for disinflation as well. She has been silent for I'm

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: going to say three even four years. Elizabeth Economy is

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: definitive on China. She has done public service for America

58
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: with the Department of Congress, with Gina Romando being her

59
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: important Asia advisor. Doctor Economy is now at Stanford University.

60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: It was great to get an update with her on

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: the new revolution that is China.

62
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure that there's really a way

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: to buy at the line.

64
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: I think there's a way to ensure that the United States,

65
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: you know.

66
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: Is the dragon.

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: I guess in the sense that you know, what I

68
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: think our message should be is that we're still looking

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 4: toward US leadership on the global stage, right and US

70
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: technological leadership and military leadership.

71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: I think, to me, what we want to do is

72
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: to run faster. I sometimes worry that we over index

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: on our defensive tools, and so that would be a concern.

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: I think with President Trump and you know, sort of

75
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: the approach of just letting more tariffs, I'd like to

76
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: see US invest more, you know, in science and technologies.

77
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: We're still waiting to see the science rart of the

78
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: the Chips Act. I think that, to me is what

79
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: the United States needs to do, and not simply say

80
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: we don't want China to do this, stop China from

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: doing that.

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Economy can't say enough about it work the Third Revolution.

83
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: I read it cover to cover. It was I think

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: my book of the Summer a couple of years ago

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: is still very fresh on President Gee. Can't say enough

86
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: about doctor Economy's work. Now it's Stanford. I thought it

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: would be somewhat quiet today. I was wrong, wrong, wrong,

88
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: please stay with us through the week and up to

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: December eighteen FED meeting. I don't know what happens December nineteenth.

90
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: Maybe we just roll up and go away, but I'll

91
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: tell you it is really something to behold. Right now

92
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: we are out on YouTube podcast. This is a single

93
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: best idea sen
