0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 2>We get lucky. Jay Hatfield joins us to get us

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the PPI here in a moment. I mean you're making

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>a moment to moment in your note. You have an

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 2>optimistic tone on the opening of the Gulf of our MOUs.

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>You're beholden to whatever the headlines are. Like everyone else.

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 3>What We've had a non consensus view that the Iranians

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>would not come to the table, just using common sense.

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 3>I didn't study Iranian studies at Wharton.

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>But they've been.

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 3>Warring with the US for forty seven years, So why

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden, after we killed the top leaders

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 3>that they go into capitulate. So we actually view this

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 3>more aggressive move as bullish. We think the Strait's going

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 3>to have to be reopened by force and it's going

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 3>to require boots on the ground.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 4>Wow, okay, maybe we're moving there today. You've also got

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 4>a nine thousand target on the SMP five hundred. That's

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 4>non consents. How do you get there?

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is not an Internet style. You know aol

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 3>time warners worth two thousand dollars. All we did is

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 3>just mark our original forecast to market. So we're in

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 3>an earnings bubble. And in fact, you have to be

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 3>on SPX EEO Go Index Go every day because the

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 3>twenty seven earnings are going up every day, so they're

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 3>up twelve percent since we started very eight thousand tarks,

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 3>so we're using twenty three times twenty seven to get

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 3>to twenty three. You need lower rates, you need the

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:52.559
<v Speaker 3>war to end.

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>And the interpolation that posts of the Dow, which I

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 2>just did is now sixty one thousand, which is not

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>in anybody's framework. When you say earnings bubble to find

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>what the bubble is, is it not legitimate that the

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>earnings will be there in eighteen months.

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>No, it's just rising so fast you can't keep tracking it.

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a bubble that it's just moving, but it could

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>be moving constructively with free caps development.

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and we're one hundred percent earnings given. So that's

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 3>why we're bullish on the market.

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I got a time this to get to the PPI.

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>But this is critical, Jay, with your wonderful foundational economics.

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>The heart and soul of this is, for whatever reason,

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 2>a buoyant nominal GDP which starts with okay revenues at least.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Right, absolutely, although it's important to note that you don't

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 3>need super strong GDP to get earnings growth. Earnings growth

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 3>comes from retained earnings and strong return on investment capital.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 3>So most analysts are too negative bet earning because they say, oh, well,

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 3>GDP's only one percent, so it doesn't really require a

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 3>really reor best economy.

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I can't spell it, but Paul Sweeny pression here to

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>say least we were talking about, like, is this the

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>inflation top four point two percent? Select people, including Mic

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>read RBC say no, And there's PPI final demand year

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>over year six point zero, the next month survey six

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>point four and it came into an enjoyable six point

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 2>five percent. You know, I'm sorry, that's an inflation. It

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>maybe only for one months, but there it is.

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 5>How do you view inflation? Here? Is it?

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, to use a word that people don't like

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 4>any more, transitory is or something more fundamental out there?

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Do you think, well, there's two critical leading indicators of

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 3>inflation the money supply, which is negative, so we have

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>a very very tight fed and oil prices which are

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 3>horrendously higher. So not surprisingly it's bleeding through already the

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 3>PPI that has not fled through to PC core yet,

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 3>only in airline fares, which is the most obvious, but

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 3>usually it bleeds through to everything. But surprisingly the pc

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 3>core was really team because you are seeing some pandemic

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 3>inflation come out like insurance. So we're still bullis we're

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 3>going to get three cuts that as soon as the

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 3>war ends, PCE should go close to target. And if

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.119
<v Speaker 3>also we have a competent FED chair now and he

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 3>does adjust. He doesn't use our numbers. I guess he's

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 3>not aware of him, but he does trim mean into

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 3>other adjustments, because if you really look under the hood,

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 3>PCE is a horrible, horrible measure. They don't use market rates,

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.480
<v Speaker 3>They impute a lot of rates. Shelter is just ridiculous.

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 3>It should not exist. It's six months delayed on purpose,

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 3>terrible measure of inflation.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Jay's laughing. You can't see the folks on radio and YouTube.

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 2>You can see that Alanis Moris set irony in his

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>voice there. I mean, come on, Cleveland, the University of

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Michigan in Kansas City revolutionized how we measure inflation. And

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>there's a select group out there stuck in a time

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>long ago and far away. That's all there is to it.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely complete, a horrible thing that caused our fed to

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 3>completely miss the inflation of twenty one.

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Paul, I can't tell you the revolution. It

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 2>was called Cleveland CPI, and there's gone to many other improvements.

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 2>A guy named Matt Shapiro at Michigan O the Claudiusum studied, Yeah,

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 2>among others.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 4>What do you make of a seventy five billion dollar IPL.

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Think, Well, we'll see.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 5>Did you get your allocation?

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 3>We didn't indicate because we don't pay a lot of commissions,

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 3>So we get a lot when the deal does poorly

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 3>and get nine when it does well.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 2>So you got to play the commission, folks. That's the

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 2>single smartest thing work continue.

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 3>But so I think there's three people in the world

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 3>who know we all work in equity capital markets at

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Golden Sacks. But our guests is there's more than seventy

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 3>five billion a musk acolytes and if you look at Tesla,

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 3>it's about three hundred percent overvalued in our models, and

0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 3>this is only about fifty percent overvalued, so it could

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 3>double triple and I'll have that Musk premium out there.

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, Jay, I have to go to break. We got

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to get you back in here. S just to talk

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 2>about what you two know far better than me, which

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 2>is the body language of a transaction. In Paul, it's

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 2>about future business, isn't it.

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, and it's pain.

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Jay doesn't pay commissions. He's not getting a love he He's.

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.799
<v Speaker 2>The loveless Jay Hatfield makes a smarter off inflation. Stay

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>with us. More from Bloomberg Surveillance coming up after this.

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Ian stally sure that he could join us here international

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 2>had fixed income. Thank you so much for joining us.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>This is this morning. The newsflow is just nuts. I

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>was actually almost shaking yesterday coming out of the the studio.

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 2>How do you how do you do a mid year review?

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Given this madness with difficulty.

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 7>Look, there's this huge amounts going on, and actually I

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 7>think the market's very well behaved.

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 7>So if you look at everything that it's been thrown

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 7>at it, whether it's the oil price moves, whether it's

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 7>now the expectation of central banks possibly hiking rates. Obviously

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 7>ECB is going to start that process.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 5>Today.

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 7>Market's very well behaved. And you know, even though we've

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 7>seen yields move significantly higher on kind of core fixed income,

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 7>you're talking thirty five basis points. Also on the ten

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 7>year treasury. I look at a US agg today, it's flat. Yeah,

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 7>And that benefit of having that yield that carry you know,

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 7>steep yeeld curves or upward sloping year curves, maybe not

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 7>that steep. It's all beneficial. So actually, the actual overall

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 7>impact that the market hasn't been as dramatic as maybe

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 7>was feared come and a first of March when it's

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 7>all kicked off.

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 4>How much credit risk are you taking at there in

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 4>the marketplace? And well, you can sit there in a

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 4>US treasure you can get hit a very nice coupon

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 4>these days, you can do.

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 7>But you can get an even nicer coopon Okay, in

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 7>credit and I think what we've learned over the sort

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 7>of you know, Q one is that corporates are in

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 7>pretty good health. You know, corporate fundamentals look great. Everything

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 7>that when I talk to all of our credit analysts

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 7>I hear is the corporate America and actually corporates around

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 7>the world are in a pretty good spot. So yes,

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 7>I fully understand that spreads are tight and everyone's looking

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 7>at that, but I don't see a real risk of

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 7>a big widening there unless you're talking recession, and again

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 7>that feels a long way off, even with oil doing

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 7>what what oil has been doing.

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 4>The Federal Reserve, we're going to hear from them next week.

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, presumably this our US Federal Reserve chair has

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 4>some pressure to cut rates, but the data is just

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 4>not there, is it.

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 7>No, definitely not. So I think, you know, you saw

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 7>the move start at the last meeting. They're going to

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 7>have more of a neutral bias. I think, you know,

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 7>the labor market is obviously in a better position. I

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 7>go back and look at where we were in February.

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 7>The three month run rate for non farm jobs was

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 7>actually marginally negative. We're now one hundred and eighty eight thousand,

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 7>and again if you look at them sort of the

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 7>mosaic of labor data and not everything's pointing, you know, flashing,

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 7>flashing green. If you look at the unemployment rate, obviously

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 7>that's stable. If you look at wage growth, that's not reaccelerating.

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 7>Some of the small business surveys, tensions to hire aren't

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 7>looking great. But there's there's no question that we've seen

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 7>a bit of a looks like we've seen a bit

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 7>of a pickup. So for me, you know, from a

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 7>credibility standpoint, I think we've got to be neutral.

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Instantly with this international I have a fixed income at

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 2>JP Morgan this morning, you go into endless meetings. Is

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 2>there an appetite for bonds with all this issue and

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the tech thing and you know SpaceX and all that,

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 2>But is there is there just still in a wall

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>of international money looking for a warm spot and bills,

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 2>notes and bonds.

0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 5>I think there is.

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 7>You just need to look at the huge amounts of

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 7>supply that we've had in the US corporate mark.

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 5>Exactly this year. It's all been very well observed.

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 7>Kelsey Bureau has aged ke never ages no, but you

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 7>just look at it and we see it from our

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 7>client base. Everyone wants to own the fixed income market

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 7>with yields where they are. Everyone's sitting on too much

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:23.439
<v Speaker 7>cash at the moment, and we're seeing that flow come in.

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 7>And I think the market as a whole when I

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 7>look at the demand for the issuance within the corporate space,

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 7>the concessions are small, the demand the over subscriptions are elevated.

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 7>There's phenomenal demand of bonds out there.

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 2>This to me is just a huge deal. Is you know,

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Scarlett Truez talking eight trillion in money market funds and

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the question to me is like, Okay, do they go

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to a cash equivalent And the answer is no, they're

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.439
<v Speaker 2>looking at the Sweeney out there.

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, two percent? You have four point one two percent Europe.

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 4>What's the fixed income call in Europe these days?

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 7>So we've had a big shift in market expectations in Europe.

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 7>The US is actually is catching up a little bit now.

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.199
<v Speaker 7>But obviously that the sort of the highlight of where

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 7>the problem was was Europe UK massive repricing in the

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 7>front ends very early on in the conflict. I think

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 7>there's some value to be had there. I think ECV

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 7>obviously they're going to hike rates today. I'm not sure

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 7>they're going to be able to hike rates three times

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 7>over the next year or so. And I think talks

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 7>to the Bank of England, they're not that keen on

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 7>hiking hiking rates.

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 5>They see this more.

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 7>You know, Yes, it's a near term inflation shop, but

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 7>it's a tax and an economies that aren't particularly strong

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 7>at the moment. They haven't got all the good stuff

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 7>you've got over here when AI tech what's really driving

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 7>driving the economy? So for me, yes, the market's repriced,

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 7>but I think there's a bit of an opportunity there.

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Harry McGuire, are you kid me? Did he just lose

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 2>out on the England team because of his age? Is

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 2>it just that simple?

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 7>I think he should be there.

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Should he's done enough? Absolutely disgusted?

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 5>Is that right?

0:11:58.760 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Religion over there? Right?

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't.

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean a lot of people were left off the team.

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's a real shock in England, isn't there?

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 5>There has been.

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.840
<v Speaker 7>I think ultimately you've got a manager that wants the

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 7>team as a whole to do well rather than individual players.

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 7>So let's see if that works out.

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 4>So what is the expectation in England for your team

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 4>this year?

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 7>I think it's difficult to look away from France in

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 7>all honesty, but you guys, look, we've got a very

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 7>good team, you know, on that day, I think they

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 7>can probably be anyone so pretty excited about it.

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know what the feeling is for the

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 4>US team, Like, are we what we're getting there? What

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 4>are the expectations?

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>We're doing three teams a day. Christmas we'll be talking.

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 2>It's turned to do are you really just like you

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 2>over here just to see the World Cup? Is that

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 2>you know? Did you just bring a deal here with

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Mary or nose or something here.

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 7>To I'm flying home this evening. Unfortunately in our first

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.079
<v Speaker 7>game is not still next week, so that's not the case.

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Get one more in here.

0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 4>So what are we doing here outside of the US,

0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 4>outside of Europe?

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 5>Talk to us about Asia?

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 4>What's the call there from your perspective, because I mean,

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 4>we've hear a lot of concern about energy for that

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 4>part of the world, given what's going on.

0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 7>With Yeah, and I think if you think maybe maybe

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 7>Europe's in the spotlight, Asia is probably even more so

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 7>in the spotlight from from an energy standpoint, And actually

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 7>what you had there was very very low yields to

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 7>start with. Now the central banks have tried to sort

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 7>of maybe avoid having to move and they're now playing

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 7>a bit of catch up if you look at what's

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 7>happened in sort of Indonesia, although there's there's other kind

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 7>of political ramifications that are going on there, So I

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 7>do think that's a more challenging environment for us. Though

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 7>when I look across other parts of emerging markets, if

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 7>I look at sort of latter and the Brazils and

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 7>New Mexico's, well that's where that's where we see the

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 7>opportunity to get much more attractive nominal yields, much more

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 7>attractive real yields than you can get over in Asia.

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Within the politics of the United Kingdom, I haven't talked

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.439
<v Speaker 2>to France in like quite a week so and not

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 2>at the speed on this, but we have a headline

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 2>here across the Bloomberg out of Queen Victoria's Street in London.

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 2>The Secretary Heally has resigned from the Starmar government, the

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Defense Secretary here. I don't want you to do the

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 2>International Relations Act, that's not appropriate with compliance, but what

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 2>is a state of guilt? Does JP Morgan look at

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the trauma of UK politics in say UK Full Faith

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and Credit paper is an opportunity here.

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 7>I think there is an opportunity with in the guilt market. Ultimately,

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 7>there is definitely political questions coming up. We're obviously got

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 7>the by election and ultimately that's probably going to lead to,

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 7>you know, a possible shift in leadership, and the market's

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 7>very focused on what that would mean for the guilt market. Ultimately,

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 7>we're you know, an economy at the moment that has

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 7>a lot of debt and how will the fiscal rules

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 7>be adhered adhere to? But I think what we've heard

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 7>is that there's not much wiggle room, you know, the

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 7>UK government is going to have to sort of, you know,

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 7>all in line with what the markets is is after

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 7>your guilts do look attractive relative to other core fixed

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 7>income markets around the world, but there's going to be

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 7>some volatility as we go through these political headlines.

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Your first three games are Croatia, Ghana and Panama.

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 5>That's not easy.

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Who made the schedule of the king.

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 7>Croatia could be a tough game.

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, an interesting opener, YEP.

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I agree, I'm watching it.

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 5>I think it's gonna be good here. I think are

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 5>faking this, like.

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Still no idea. The level of dumbness here, Yeah, I'd

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 2>be Christy. I'm a I'm a Tots fan. That's dumb,

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Dumbiami and Steely, thank you so much for Chicken Morgan.

<v Speaker 1>watch us live on YouTube.

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 2>This is my conversation of the day. No question about

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 2>a Bailey Lipschaltz with this. Senior reporter of Bloomberg News

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 2>barely describes his competency on the IPO dynamics going on

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>right now. In your wonderful story this morning, there's a

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 2>single sentence and on the back of it you link

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 2>open Ai and anthropic in the Wall Street Journal bombshell

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 2>on pricing of tokens, and you bring that over to

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>rocket ships and Elon Musk. How in God's name do you.

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 8>Do that working hard in a lot of coffee, I guess,

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 8>but I mean, Tom, this is something we've been waiting for.

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 8>Everyone's been waiting for any of these companies to go public.

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 8>Anthropics obviously much younger than SpaceX, which is more than

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 8>two decades old. But this is the moment we've been

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 8>waiting for, and we're going to see how this actually

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 8>shakes out today, tomorrow, and through the next few weeks.

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 2>The common theme is nobody's making megda desiah Ls's keyword

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 2>profit where on the xxs.

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.400
<v Speaker 8>Is profit for the companies for all of them. Well, so,

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 8>SpaceX before it merged with Xai elon Musk kind of

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 8>x Twitter rock component, the company was quite profitable. They

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 8>dominate launch. They essentially have a space monopoly. Now, analysts

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 8>aren't expecting free cash flow positivity for a number of years.

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.479
<v Speaker 8>Anthropic on their latest run rate Bloomberg reported that they

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.640
<v Speaker 8>actually are a profitable on a monthly basis. What does

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 8>that mean for an annual basis TBD And I think

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 8>open Ai, depending who you talk to, is a much

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 8>more long term thesis for that company to really turn profitable.

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 4>SpaceX we have a fixed price for the IPO. It

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:45.640
<v Speaker 4>was one hundred and thirty five. What's the thought here?

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 4>Are we going to price at that number below it

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:48.360
<v Speaker 4>above it?

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 8>Our expectation is this price is sticking to it, size

0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 8>is sticking to it. Elon Musk and the team at

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.399
<v Speaker 8>SpaceX came out and treated it kind of like a

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.040
<v Speaker 8>private fundraising ground and said we're raising money.

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:02.879
<v Speaker 5>We're raising seventy five billion, Are you in?

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Are you out?

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 8>One point seven to seven trillion? Show us what you

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 8>want and that's the expectation. So it's going to be

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 8>an interesting dynamic how they allocate the shares later today

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 8>and then what we see with trading tomorrow.

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Do we think we're going to have any surprising investors,

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:21.399
<v Speaker 4>whether it's a technology company, a list private equity firm,

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 4>or is it just going to be a run of

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 4>the middle institutional IPO with some retail component.

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 8>I think there's a lot of interest if there is

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 8>a strategic component, just given the announcements we've seen between

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 8>the company and anthropic companies, a Google.

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 4>For example, might to step in and buy something.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Here at the IPO. Yeah.

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we saw that with core Weave.

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 8>Core Weave's IPO really only happened because Nvidia showed up

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 8>in huge size and was able to get that deal

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 8>done because there's such a close partner. So that's just

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 8>another dynamic track.

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 5>Now you've got to report out here today.

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.720
<v Speaker 4>From reporting, SpaceX tells investors it has lined up a

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 4>blue chip credit ratings. Are they going to come to

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 4>the botmarket after this?

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 8>You?

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:02.119
<v Speaker 5>That is the expectation.

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 8>One of the things we've been hearing is that there's

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 8>a view from SpaceX that this is the only equity

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 8>financing they will do. Everything from now on will be kay.

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 8>So the expectation in these meetings is we've got ig

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 8>rating from the three firms.

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 5>We're going to tap the debt markets.

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.239
<v Speaker 8>We can do that no one else can from an

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.920
<v Speaker 8>AI perspective. When you look at some of the cell

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 8>side expectations, hundreds of billions of dollars have to come

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 8>from somewhere, so seemingly the debt market.

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.480
<v Speaker 2>What does the selling start? Like Toby Nangel and the

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Ft and Isabelle Leave for Bloomberg talked a lot about

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 2>all the index dynamics and all that like restricted stock

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and other things. Maybe I understand in July, August, September,

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 2>are there people out there ready to sell who are insiders?

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 5>So they have an interesting lock up structure.

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 8>After their second quarter earnings, which realistically could come anytime

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.360
<v Speaker 8>in July, they'll have a chunk of shares available for

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 8>sale from early investors. If the stock meets certain thresholds,

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 8>that number gets even higher as the time rolls on

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.119
<v Speaker 8>over that sixty eighty ninety day period, they're going to

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 8>continue to kind of increase that float incrementally to try

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.560
<v Speaker 8>to make it so some of these dynamics with the

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 8>Nasdaq one hundred inclusion, are less rocky, just because we

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 8>know money will be flowing in fifteen trading days from

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.199
<v Speaker 8>tomorrow from the Nasdaq one hundred trying to match the

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 8>buying and selling.

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:27.919
<v Speaker 4>Does Elon have a locked up I can't imagine him

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 4>every see.

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:29.400
<v Speaker 5>It's locked up for over a year.

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 8>But if you buy into the notion that SpaceX and

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 8>Tesla are going to merge, he is super voting right,

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.959
<v Speaker 8>So there would be no incentive for Elon Musk if

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 8>that's the vision to sell.

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 2>It totally unfair and then there's no one listening. So

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:45.200
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, Bailey, what's going to happen when it trades tomorrow?

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>What's your single guess understanding? You could well be wrong,

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 2>but what's the Bailey Lipshal's guess on what the stock does?

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 5>It goes up?

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.159
<v Speaker 8>Wall Street needs this deal to work because of the

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.160
<v Speaker 8>companies that they want to and need to take public

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 8>later this year. Wall Street needs this steal to work

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 8>because the company needs to raise a heck of a

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 8>lot of money to build out space infrastructure, to build

0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 8>out AI infrastructure. This is a deal that people need

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.120
<v Speaker 8>to make money on. People need to have trade well

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 8>day one. The interesting dynamic is this is a deal

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 8>that was pitched globally. It's going to open. Call it

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 8>one or two o'clock on a Friday. If you got

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:24.639
<v Speaker 8>allocated in Australia or Japan, you're not pretending unless you're

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 8>pulling on all nier. This doesn't really impact your until Monday,

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 8>so who knows what the weekend?

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 5>That's right, I have.

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Jim Chainos tomorrow and Bloomberg money. I think of Georgia

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 2>and Noble working with Peter Lynch at FIDELDI. They are

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:41.800
<v Speaker 2>to be polite, scathing. How would mister Musk respond to

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 2>experienced intelligent people going you gotta be kidnaping?

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.639
<v Speaker 8>They would He would probably point at Tesla and say,

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:50.919
<v Speaker 8>look what I've done with Tesla.

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Look to the chart yesterday. The vector on Tesla's up.

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 5>This is a company.

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 8>Tesla is a company that has been valued at north

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 8>of one and a half trillion dollars on the expectation

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 8>that robotaxis and robots are something we all live with

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 8>in the next five years.

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 5>It's not a car company came out.

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Carver published yesterday that fifty nine robotaxis are in three cities.

0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 8>Fundamentals don't align with this company, and it hasn't with Tesla.

0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll lend it right. There're the smartest thing I've heard

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.359
<v Speaker 2>of the entire thing. Stay with us. More from Bloomberg

<v Speaker 2>Julia Wilson joins US now principal consumer retail Strategy and

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:57.160
<v Speaker 2>why in God's name is the four of The biggest

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:01.239
<v Speaker 2>thing going part of your consumer act is beauty. We

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 2>were talking to Alexis helping here and I said, at

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the Dinagram table, says Clarence still a big deal and

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 2>nobody knew what Clarence was. Your world of beauty the

0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:16.160
<v Speaker 2>money of lotion. It's nuts, right.

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.880
<v Speaker 6>It's definitely nuts. It speaks to the summer of experience.

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 6>And you can never underestimate the American consumer when it

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 6>comes to spending.

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:29.639
<v Speaker 2>So and skincare fifty six bottles, tip a toad on

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 2>the sink in the bathroom. How did we get there?

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, it's interesting who's buying it and who's

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 6>actually building up that volume. It's not just the teenage

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.680
<v Speaker 6>younger Alpha generation females are buying it, but you're seeing

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 6>it expand across all segments and demographics.

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 5>So so you mean guys are buying it, dies are buying.

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 6>If you look at their their medicine cabinet, it's not

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:51.280
<v Speaker 6>the same soap for your hair anymore.

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 5>Fragrances, I'm sorry to well, I have sons too, and

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 5>I know, I.

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 4>Know, yeah, we like when my sons were living in home,

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 4>the axe was all over the place.

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 5>Remember acts, Oh they move beyond acts now, I know

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 5>what are they? What are people doing the summer?

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 4>Are people traveling the summer? I'm going to got gas

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 4>at four dollars and thirty cents. I don't know. I

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.880
<v Speaker 4>get airline fares going higher? Are traveling this summer.

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 6>You know, the US consumer is very similar to the Knicks,

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 6>and they're very resilient. So there's there's definitely that disconnect

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:24.119
<v Speaker 6>that you see with some of the signals. There's a

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.159
<v Speaker 6>little bit softness in the belly, so to speak, of

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 6>the US economy, but the consumer is still out there spending.

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 5>The way that I think about.

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 6>It is we're about to host a really big party.

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.160
<v Speaker 5>That's right, and so far what you see.

0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:37.879
<v Speaker 6>One of the things that I took away from.

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.679
<v Speaker 5>The jobs report yesterday earlier this week was.

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 6>That seventy thousand of those jobs are actually related to

0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 6>the you know, the the act of hotel tourism, et cetera.

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 6>And so people have jobs, they are spending on things

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 6>that go along with hosting a party, which is putting

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:59.240
<v Speaker 6>on makeup, getting closed. You think about the summer spending

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 6>spree that we had, an apparel was also pretty strong.

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.400
<v Speaker 4>So I mean, overall the consumer, How do you see

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 4>the k shaped economy from your work in terms of

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 4>how people spend money? How do you guys keep him?

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:12.159
<v Speaker 4>How do you guys think about it?

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so the luxury consumer, you know, if you think

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:17.440
<v Speaker 6>about what is luxury but someplace to hold your dream,

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:19.159
<v Speaker 6>so to speak. I would see someone yesterday and they

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:21.800
<v Speaker 6>use that expression, so, you know, thinking about who do

0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 6>I want to be, and the luxury beauty in particular

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 6>is a form of self expression. They're still spending really

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 6>big on that, and they're spending in areas that you

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:34.360
<v Speaker 6>would see it more in the wellness so wellnification of

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 6>all the different categ wellnification, it's hard to it doesn't

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 6>come across here to be able.

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 5>To come up with these names.

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 6>I know that actually came from when I was at

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 6>the Beauty Independent. That was one of the terms that

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 6>they came up with. But the US consumer, the luxury

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.400
<v Speaker 6>in particular, is doing well and they're being really they're

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 6>still being choiceful about, you know, where do I want

0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 6>to spend, whether it's on neurotoxins or some of these

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 6>really big ticket items that are almost experienced based. But

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.639
<v Speaker 6>then on the case shape there are people where you know,

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.879
<v Speaker 6>you mentioned the gas crisis, so the average consumer on

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 6>average was spending about two hundred dollars on gas and

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:12.479
<v Speaker 6>they're spending about two hundred and thirty, so it is

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 6>a much bigger portion of their budget, so to speak,

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 6>and they are making those choices. You know, private labels

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.879
<v Speaker 6>always an area that if you have faith and conviction

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 6>in that product and you believe in it, you're willing

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 6>to trade down more easily. But it happens across the

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:30.200
<v Speaker 6>demographic segments. So as you think about I might go

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 6>for a more luxury lip gloss, but then I feel

0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 6>perfectly comfortable with the mass haircare. So you're making those

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 6>choices in and out of consumer segment.

0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Julie Wilson with this principle and consumer retail strategy all

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 2>the beauty stuff out there KPMG. So with KPMG, you

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 2>go out and talk to companies, what makes them lean forward,

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 2>What part of your act is where they really lean

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 2>in and listen.

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:59.119
<v Speaker 6>For us, we're seeing companies really focus or continuing to

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.639
<v Speaker 6>focus on the three things that they've been focused on

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 6>over the past two years, which is really portfolio simplification,

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 6>so as fewer things, fewer things, and really focusing on

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 6>what they do well. I see ORG design really related

0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 6>to AI. So translated, so if you think about AI

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 6>is supposed to give companies this whole next level view

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 6>of productivity. The way that you actually get that out

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.840
<v Speaker 6>is by redesigning your workforce it doesn't always mean fewer bodies.

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 6>It could mean reshaping, upskilling, et cetera. So thinking about

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 6>what is the org that's really going to take me

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 6>into the future so I don't fall behind as the

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.280
<v Speaker 6>second area and then the last area that we're really

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 6>seeing is still that cost because of gas prices in particular,

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 6>and some of the other areas that are either direct

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:48.640
<v Speaker 6>inputs or indirect inputs into their supply chain, we're still

0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:51.199
<v Speaker 6>seeing people cut those AI.

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:53.919
<v Speaker 4>So for your clients, I think we're all and I

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 4>think I speak for a lot of us, we're all

0:27:56.240 --> 0:27:59.439
<v Speaker 4>just learning day by day what AI is, what it

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 4>can do, how we should interact with it. Where do

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:05.400
<v Speaker 4>you think your companies are that you talk to at

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.919
<v Speaker 4>the board level, the c suite level, where are they

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:09.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of that whole AI?

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 6>I would say it's still a bell shaped curse. So

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 6>there's some that are leading the pack. There's still a

0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 6>whole bunch that are figuring things out and trying to

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 6>understand where it could be most impactful, and there's some

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 6>that are laggards. You know, KPMG, we had some of

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 6>our leaders talking about the partnership that we did with

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 6>Anthropic and you just see every next generation that we

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 6>have is so much smarter. When I started using it,

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:34.679
<v Speaker 6>I thought you are a very hard working, but not

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:37.159
<v Speaker 6>the brightest analyst in you know, my team. When I

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 6>think about what I was using even six months ago,

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 6>when you start to see what you're doing now, the

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 6>capability is amazing and you really think about that, the shape,

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:48.520
<v Speaker 6>the size and scope and shape of your organizations are

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 6>totally different.

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 2>One final question here. I saw that Mike Ashley is

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 2>going to buy the rest of Hugo Boss. Are we

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 2>going to see a big industry roll up? I mean,

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 2>as the bottom line is after COVID, the luxury trauma

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah, that we're just going to see one

0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 2>ginormous roll up.

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think boards are pushing companies to think bigger.

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 6>So we're seeing that across the board, but in particular

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 6>in apparel. When you think about brands and what can

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:17.600
<v Speaker 6>I do to give those brands the operational leverage to

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 6>be you know, affordable in the market, sometimes bigger is better.

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 6>So you're going to see, you know, where the brand

0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 6>needs to lean in and have their own direct supply chain,

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 6>where they need to tell their stories slightly differently, they're

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 6>going to keep that separate. But when you're going to

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 6>think about what is it that I could you know,

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 6>band together, you know, paperboard, some of that secondary in

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 6>tertiary packaging, those types of areas, you're going to see

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 6>companies come together to get that scared.

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Julie thank is Julie Wilson with a KPMS. You just

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:48.400
