00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: This is a breaking news update from Bloomberg, Instant reaction

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 2: and analysis from our three thousand journalists and analysts around

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: the world. Welcome to the program. Equities recovering. There was

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: a drop off as soon as Chairman Power started to speak.

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: We're back to about negative zero point two percent on

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: the S and P, the bigger losses on the Russell,

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: the small camps down by zero point eight in the

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: bond market off the back of these comments from Chairman

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: pow Bonyota at the front end of the curve by

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: nine to ten basis points, a twenty five basis point

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: reduction from the Federal Reserve two way descent, the limited

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: ability to guide from here and these comments from the

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: Chairman of the Federal Reserve take a listen.

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: A further reduction to policy. Read of December meeting is

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: not a foregone conclusion yet a time when we have

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: tension between our two goals. We have, you know, strong

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: views across us the committee, and as I mentioned, there

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: were strongly different views today and the takeaway from that

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: is that we haven't made a decision about December, and

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: you know we're going to be looking at the data

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: that we have how that affects the outlook and the

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: balance of risks. And I'll just say.

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: That a December rite cut is far from a folk

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: on conclusion. That was a prepared remark. It was scripted TK.

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: It was heavy with intense.

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: I love when they looked down at the script. I

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: mean you wonder what percentage of the press conferences.

29
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: Thanks, It gave you extra menic that would be intent

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: to come into this room and sound everybody, including wool Street.

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: We're not making a cool come down.

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: We're way down. And when we get the tourists this lock,

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: I want to really dive into that. I need to

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: frame this, Johnathan. It's so important. We've had this spectacular

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: move lower in the ten year yield down to three

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: point nine whatever. Oh mg, we've come back four point

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: zero five percent at seven eight beeps move. It's only

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: center tendency on two standard deviations were by no means price. Rather,

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: price has not cratered in the last twenty minutes.

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: Low endered arrange for years still type with you. Bond

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: market's been super well behaved. When the FED last mat

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: back in September twos we're near three fifty tens to

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: were near four percent right now, TK twos near three

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: sixty tens near four percent.

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of hyperventilation about this tomorrow.

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: I'm also looking at the currency market, which I think

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: is extraordinary into the Trump g meeting, and you know,

48
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: it's a side story. I get it. It's not the

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Fed decides, it's maybe the president's decides on trade. But

50
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: it's a backstory to this. It will be interesting in

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: the next couple days.

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: Got a strength this afternoon euro dollar one fifteen eighty two,

53
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: euro dollar down by zero point six percent. TK mentioned

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: it Tilston's block of Apollo with us around the table, Tilston,

55
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: good afternoon, going to see you. What's the big takeaway

56
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: for you from that, Well.

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: That they do have clarity on the CPI on the

58
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: infliction side, but there was a lot of questions about

59
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: the level market. And it was very clear that he

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: came into this saying the legal market is still chugging along,

61
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: moving sideways, slightly cooling, and he didn't mention any of

62
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: the private sector indicators. So he did basically say, we

63
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: don't quite know exactly what's happening in label market, but

64
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 4: we still feel quite good about it. So that's why

65
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: he came to the conclusion inflation is too high. The

66
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: label market is still okay. Therefore, there is no foregone

67
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: conclusion about December.

68
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: How difficult is it to carry on kind of interest rates?

69
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: It is very.

70
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 4: Difficult because the label market does have a number of

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: indicators that are very important for this discussion. There is

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: of course ADP, which we just got and thankfully now

73
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 4: it's weekly. If you just think about the number fourteen

74
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: thousand was the average weekly number for the last four weeks.

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: If you multiply that by FOAR, you get some estimate

76
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: of what that means on a monthly basis. That means

77
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: that monthly job growth at the moment is in round

78
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: numbers around fifty thousand. We just got a FED paper

79
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: a few weeks ago saying that the new equilibrium rate

80
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: for nonfound pay roads is thirty thousand. So by that measure,

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: the label market is actually strong. You know, the words

82
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: job growth is stronger than what the FED itself thinks

83
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: that it should be in the long run, because fifty

84
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: is higher than thirty. And the conclusion therefore, now you

85
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 4: suddenly have that both the label marget is actually doing

86
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: a little bit better than expected, and inflation is still

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 4: a three, which of course makes it very difficult for

88
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: them to begin cutting again in December.

89
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: You let me follow up on that though. Is that

90
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: politically acceptable to have a mid one hundred thousand number

91
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty thousand. There's no way that plays in Washington.

92
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 4: Well, at least the Dallas Fed who produced the number

93
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: had some very good arguments for that. There were two

94
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: reasons why they Equilibri and RADA gone down from two

95
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: hundred thousand last year to only thirty thousand today, which

96
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 4: was immigration has been slowing down significantly and the demographic

97
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: hit wins also weighing on the road.

98
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: This is so important with your heritage. I think it

99
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: really works out. What is the level or the new

100
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: new of their ex post right now? To me, they're

101
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: almost redefining away. Did you hear forward guidance in the

102
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: press conference? I don't think what, God, I'll take that.

103
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: Maybe backward guidance is the new phrase. Paint the character

104
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: doctor slock of our X post nature now.

105
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 4: Well, the challenge also is not only did they not

106
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 4: only mention forward guidance, but also he didn't talk about

107
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 4: data dependent because there is not much data. And if

108
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 4: you say data dependent, that means that they're putting a

109
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 4: lot of data on the private sector data. And he

110
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 4: didn't mention some of the private sector data. That asking

111
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 4: is very important for the label market, not only ADP.

112
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: That's also the of course challenge are great and Christmas

113
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: job cut announcements. There's also a new data from macro

114
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: itch that also.

115
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Looks like you love ism.

116
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: There is also the ism data that it still says

117
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: that the label market is okay. There's also link up

118
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: job openings. There's also indeed job openings. There's also paychecks

119
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: which is also looking at employment. All these indicators combined

120
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: still tell a story of the label market actually still

121
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 4: hanging in there. So it's not the case that the

122
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: label market is falling out of bed. It's still the

123
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 4: case that the label market is okay. And combined with

124
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: inflation at three, remember the FETs target is two, so

125
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: inflation is still way above the FET target, there is

126
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 4: just not room to cut rates more. In particular, not

127
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 4: as he also talked about, if you begin to worry

128
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: about if inflation expectations begin to become interan.

129
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: Tell us them what you're saying, begs an obvious question.

130
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: What I'm hearing from you is we've seen a step

131
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: down in payrolls growth. We haven't seen an increase in

132
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: labor market slack. Inflation is running at three unemployment still

133
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: close to four GDPs tracking around three percent at the

134
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: moment in this country. If that's the case, why did

135
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: they just cut interest rates?

136
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 4: Well, his argument was also very very carefully articulated, namely

137
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 4: that we are trying to get closer to our star.

138
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 4: So it's back to this excuse me, peculiar interest in

139
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 4: that there is some very academic calman field that you

140
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 4: can do and figure out whereas the level of interest

141
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: rates where we should be, and say this was recalibrating

142
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: monetary policy to that level. It really is a very

143
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: excuse me, unwaving academic discussion relative to what the actual

144
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: data that you just listed. And if you add also

145
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 4: the Elena FLGDP now almost four percent for the last quarter,

146
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 4: where are we in terms of thinking about this slowdown?

147
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 4: There is just not much sign of a slowdown when

148
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: it comes to the real.

149
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: Please forgive the snark, but the way they talk about

150
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: things like neutral in our star, do these lights start

151
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: flashing off in the FMC room and the order him

152
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: at the federal surf. You've hit it. Well done, guys,

153
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: stop right there. What are they actually looking at to

154
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: guide that decision?

155
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: Well, I do think that there is an intellectual camaraderie

156
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: around our styles saying yeah, I know what you mean

157
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: when you talk about our style, and of course we've

158
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: got to get down to our style. But the interesting

159
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: thing of bottles with also this is that if you

160
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: really are saying at the Dallas fit that there is

161
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: now a thirty thousand non found payroll level, that actually

162
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: means that USTA it's actually low.

163
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: One j Greg Hip has been wonderful about this. We're

164
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: in God's name. Is the output gap right now with

165
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: meta here in twenty five thirty five minutes at Google?

166
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: What we see tomorrow with Apple? Microsoft? The speech that

167
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: in video gave the other day, Are you kidding me?

168
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: We have no clue for the American output gap?

169
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: Well, and that's why from a monetary policy perspective, it

170
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: is really interesting because if you look at the Magnificent seven,

171
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: they all finance by equity prices being high. They're not

172
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: sensitive to the fitfunds rate, whereas the S and P

173
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 4: four ninety three is very sensitive to the fitfunds rate

174
00:07:59,200 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: is a.

175
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Poll of globle management. Part of the magnificence of it.

176
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: They should be, they should be. Mike McKay was in

177
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: the room. He was in the news conference, and Mike McKay,

178
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: thank you for asking about financial conditions and financial markets.

179
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: Mike McKay, what was the takeaway for you? Set?

180
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 5: I think the absolute takeaway is that the FED is

181
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 5: probably going to pause in December unless there's some data

182
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 5: that forces them to do another cut. There was a

183
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 5: sort of almost Freudian slipped by the chairman close to

184
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 5: the end of the news conference when he said if

185
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 5: we cut again, and then he quickly.

186
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: Backcrapped and said we will at some point.

187
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 5: But I think that the mood of the committee now

188
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: is we've done enough. Let's sit back and see what happens,

189
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 5: especially without any data, and given the fact that inflation

190
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 5: is still rising. You know that at the beginning when

191
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 5: he was giving us the rundown of the economy, he said,

192
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: extrapolating the CPI into PCEE suggests that it rose at

193
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 5: two point eight percent. Well, it was two point seven

194
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 5: percent in the prior reading, so it just showed you

195
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 5: that inflation is still rising at a time when he

196
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 5: had a hard time making a case that unemployment is

197
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 5: a real problem. So I think the takeaway is don't

198
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 5: expect much from the Fed in December unless the government

199
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: gets back to work and we get some data that

200
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 5: changed their mind.

201
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: Michael McKay, you have covered the Federals for decades. Volka

202
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: through green Span, Bananke, Yellen, the likes of Cham and

203
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: Pow Mike is the era of almighty Fed, Chad dominance

204
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: and power on the committze. Has it come to a close?

205
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 5: Well, I think that's another way of saying that I'm

206
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 5: old John, But I don't think it's come to a close.

207
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 5: It's just changed a lot. When you had Paul Vulker,

208
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: he was very firm in what he wanted to do,

209
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 5: but he came in during a crisis, so he was

210
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 5: able to marshal the troops to do that, and then

211
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 5: they rebelled against him. Green Span did it differently.

212
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: He ran the FED as.

213
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: If it were his own and they did what basically

214
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 5: he wanted them to do. But starting with Ben Bernanki

215
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: and following with Jennet Yell and j Pollo, it's become

216
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: much more collegial, and the chair now is more in

217
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 5: a situation where they are taking the temperature of everyone

218
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,479
Speaker 5: there and trying to figure out what the best consensus

219
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 5: move would be. And I suspect that that's what members

220
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 5: of the Board and the Open Market Committee would like

221
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 5: to see happen going forward. Don't know, given the names

222
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 5: of various people who are among the finalists to replace J. Powell,

223
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: whether we would have an attempt to go back to

224
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 5: this strong chairman view or whether we would still continue

225
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 5: with consensus.

226
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: Can they wrestle control from that committee? Thank you so

227
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 2: fantastic work. You know. Oh you're brilliant, Mike McKay that

228
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C appreciate it. You're brilliant too.

229
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: TK.

230
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: You know this love come on, this is far enough

231
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: love to go. But yes, it might be a little

232
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: bit more than me. Tilston, you're still with us Tauson's

233
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: luck of Apollo. By the way, if you're just joining

234
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: guest Tustin, Bob Michael of JP. Malcolm is on the

235
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: program with me and TK earlier on this Southternoon and

236
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: he made the case after this decision dropped and we

237
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: saw the two way descent that the Chairlesing Grip of

238
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 2: this committee. What's your tak on that, Well, it.

239
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: Is a very unusual situation to have someone in the

240
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 4: committee the things that raids should have been on hold,

241
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: meaning that could other direction than other members here in

242
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: this case Deve Miran who thought that she should have

243
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: been cutting. So it is a very challenging environment. Of course,

244
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: Well whoever is the FET chair and whoever walks in

245
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 4: to be the next FET chair to try to get

246
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 4: a consensus on the committee. There is so much work

247
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: that goes into from the chair whoever it is, to

248
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: try to get a decision that is unanimous and that

249
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: is a common ground and saying this is the way

250
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 4: we're walking, and this is the direction we're traveling. Now

251
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: that there's more uncertainty about this. One reason why raids

252
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: are going up is also because well maybe now Smith

253
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 4: is not the only dest and maybe there are others

254
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: that come around next time and say, well maybe we

255
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 4: shouldn't be cutting, or maybe there might maybe someone said

256
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: maybe we should be hiking. So that's why I do

257
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 4: think there was already a dot in the dot pat

258
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: last time that said that Rich should be going higher

259
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: in December. I think that now We know that that

260
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: was Smid from the Kansas City Fed. So yes, it

261
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 4: is getting becoming a much more challenging exercise. Normally we

262
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 4: just talk about inflation unemployment, but this is no longer

263
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: just about invasions.

264
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: The heart of this we're gonna get the Rosenberg. But

265
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: the heart of this, John is he's lane duck. That's

266
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: all there is to it. Great, it's it's October. He's

267
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: supposed to begin to be lame duck.

268
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: So let's fast forward to December. Just think about for

269
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: a moment, how much honey message put out forecasts probably

270
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: know who the new FED chair is? How much past

271
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: chair and power? Can I have a December meeting knowing

272
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 2: who is replacement is potentially once we come around to May,

273
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: I agree.

274
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: And of course, as we've said three or four times today,

275
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, not me, but others are saying the Secretary

276
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: of Treasury could be involved as well.

277
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: Jeff Rosenberg of Black Rocks Running, Jeff, welcome to the program.

278
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: I won't mention Rick, We'll leave that to one side.

279
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: We'll keep you in you know a company. Why not

280
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: keep you out of trouble? What about it? No, Jeff, seriously,

281
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: Jeff Rosenberg number one take away from that decision this

282
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: afternoon and that news conference too.

283
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the number one takeaway is the is

284
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 6: the comments on December, the comment on slow down when

285
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 6: you're driving in the fog. You know, you know, it's

286
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 6: interesting you guys were picking up on him reading in

287
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 6: the notes and whether that was very much pre planned.

288
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 6: I think what you see here is a repricing of

289
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 6: market pricing to December. You know, going into this meeting,

290
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 6: it was basically a foregone conclusion. It was one hundred percent.

291
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 6: When you come out of the meeting and you see

292
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 6: the descents on both sides and you recall the division

293
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 6: within the committee, you could say that that is an

294
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 6: appropriate repricing to the really realization that there's more two

295
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 6: sided risks to the Fed's decision than the market was

296
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 6: pricing in it. And perhaps that comment was engineered to

297
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 6: kind of push that forward. Maybe it wasn't, but the

298
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 6: reality is that's what the market reaction is, and you

299
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 6: can see that that's, you know, a very reasonable reaction

300
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 6: to what we saw from the committee today.

301
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: Owned an audible here, we got Tourston Slock and Jeffrey

302
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Rosenberg with us, and that is good and wonderful with

303
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: their financial and economic Now it's Turston. You have a

304
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: blistering sentence in your note of your concerns over private credit.

305
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: I would suggest for Global Wall Street into the next

306
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: FED meeting and beyond, there's going to be further challenges

307
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: here about the opaqueness in private credit. With you, with

308
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: all of your resources that apollow global management. How blind

309
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: are we to where we're heading in the pricing of

310
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: private credit?

311
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: That discussion is totally misguided. In public markets, I can

312
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: get something that's safe, I can get something that's risky.

313
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 4: In private markets, I can get something that's safe, I

314
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: can get something that's risky. So there is no difference.

315
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: It really is all about do you want a risky investment?

316
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: Do you want a safe investment? Something in the public

317
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: market is investment grade, something that private market is investment great.

318
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: So this discussion around what's happening in the last few weeks, yes,

319
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 4: there might be a few cockroaches in the sense that

320
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 4: there have certainly been some things that have been going on,

321
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: but interestingly enough, those were basically all broad the syndicated loans,

322
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 4: meaning this were things that we're trading tick by tick,

323
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: minute by minute in the public market. So why is

324
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: the discussion about what's happening in private credit relevant for this?

325
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: These were cockroach in the public market that showed up

326
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 4: in public maalge Jeff Rosenberg.

327
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: Will this effect the Fed? I mean it's just as

328
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: simple as that. If we have Wall Street instability and

329
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: fear about this with all your work at Carnegie Mellon,

330
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: can they ignore those cockroaches?

331
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 6: Well, it gets back to some of the earlier comments

332
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 6: about you know, the questions that he got on financial conditions,

333
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: and you know, to what extent does financial conditions sort

334
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 6: of factor into the Fed's decision? And I think what

335
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 6: we see as an asymmetry here that financial conditions aren't

336
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,359
Speaker 6: really factoring into their decisions to cut rates here financial conditions.

337
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 6: You saw him parry the questions around interest rates and

338
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 6: AI basically you know, brushing them aside, saying AI financing

339
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 6: has nothing to do with rates, which is true on

340
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 6: a first order effect, but not necessarily on the second

341
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 6: order effect, to the extent that interest rates broadly are

342
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 6: creating very easy financial conditions, and they're contributing to the

343
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 6: increase in financial conditions easing especially that we saw since

344
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 6: the FED. It did you know, to the labor market

345
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 6: slow down that took us from you know, measurements that

346
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 6: were sort of more optimistic to measurements that were kind

347
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 6: of more on the euphoria side. But I think the

348
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 6: asymmetry here is that the FED will respond to tightening

349
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 6: financial conditions after they're realized to the earlier you know,

350
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 6: interchange on you know, X post and data dependence. This

351
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 6: is a FED that will be reactive. And I think

352
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 6: what's very clear is the Fed's not really paying a

353
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 6: lot of attentions to financial conditions going into this cycle,

354
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 6: but they will, as they have been, you know, ever

355
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 6: since the GSC GF GF GFC, that they'll be very

356
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 6: responsive financial conditions for things that have nothing to do

357
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 6: with the FED end up tightening, the FED will react

358
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 6: into that with with with a massive cut in interest

359
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 6: rates or restoration of zero interest rates, the forward guidance

360
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 6: that you just talked about, balance sheet, all the tools

361
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 6: that you know were once thought as kind of you know,

362
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 6: not normal are part of the normal playbook. But they'll

363
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 6: be in reaction to something that is outside the Fed's

364
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 6: control here in a tightening.

365
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: Of financial condition Jeff, is that still a green light

366
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: then a bright green light just a state lung risk,

367
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: state lung aquacies.

368
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 6: Well, it's a light that says you can't really predict

369
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 6: that on a directional basis. The FED is supportive here.

370
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: That's part of.

371
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 6: Again what we saw and kind of the movement in

372
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 6: the metrics from optimism to euphoria around August September, and

373
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 6: the Fed's continuing to send that signal with market pricing

374
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 6: coming down a bit, but basically pricing to normalization of

375
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 6: three percent and the expectation that under any circumstance where

376
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 6: the FED is faced with an outsize and you heard

377
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 6: in that last question right at the end, you know

378
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 6: the Fed talking about the impact on consumption. This is understated.

379
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 6: I mean he said it in a very small way,

380
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 6: but a large shock downward has a significant effect on consumption.

381
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 6: And what was a little bit understated here is that

382
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 6: the large increase in the wealth effect has been the

383
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 6: support for consumption. It is why we're surprisingly strong in

384
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 6: addition to the lagged implementation and tariff inflation not being

385
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 6: as worrisome. It was really the surge in the wealth

386
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 6: effect and consumption that's leading to the upside surprise. But

387
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 6: that has a double edged sword. To a larger decline,

388
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 6: and that's I think the concern around financial conditions tightening.

389
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: Jeff, before you go, I promised I wouldn't mentioned Rick,

390
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: but I think it's worth it. You know, I've known

391
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: Rick a long time, You've worked with him a long time.

392
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: Can we just spend a second or something just how

393
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: cool is it that Rick Reader's name is associated with

394
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: the Fetchamp position.

395
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 6: It is very good for you to talk about that,

396
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: and I look forward to hearing more from you on

397
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 6: that subject.

398
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: Jonathan Okay, Jeff Rosenberg of Black Rook, you avoid it, Jeff,

399
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: you avoid it. I think it's fantastic to have someone

400
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: like that. Absolutely just makes the process all the more credible,

401
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: which I imagine was the objective of the Treasury Secretary.

402
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: Mister Reader brings an entrepreneurial sense here that you don't

403
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: get from grizzled economists.

404
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: Understand, this president needs to be.

405
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Hugely lauded for that with the secretary. Can I point

406
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: out in the time we've got left something back to

407
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: the late July meeting, So Google, who we're going to

408
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: hear from in forty five minutes is up forty two.

409
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: You have to remember, you know, I'm talking about the

410
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: food lines in Chicago with Diane Swank. The roulette wheel

411
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: is in full spin right now.

412
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: We've got about sixty seconds left. Programs like these traditionally

413
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 2: obsessed over what can go wrong? Toss and Slot, can

414
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: we finish on what can go right? You put out

415
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 2: a fantastic note in the last month about the economics

416
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: profession needing to take a long, hard look in the

417
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: mirror and just think about where we are compared to

418
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: where they thought we would be, which is a much

419
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: worse place.

420
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 4: Absolutely, So the key issue was that Liberation Day is

421
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 4: now seven months ago and we are still having a

422
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 4: fitchair that talks about delib market is actually doing quite well,

423
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 4: and we still have inflation above the target. I think

424
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 4: that we have all been surprised, and of course the

425
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 4: market has been surprised, and the economics profession has definitely

426
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 4: been very surprised that the textbook would have predicted a

427
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: much more staflictionary shock, much more upside pressure on inflation,

428
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 4: much more downside pressure on GDP. We have not seen that,

429
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 4: and some would say yet, but this is the discussion, namely,

430
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: do we still have that, as you just said, as

431
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 4: a lack of effect in front of us, or is

432
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 4: this it? And then things are only getting availble for here.

433
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: And this is why what the Fed was doing today

434
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: was exactly to say, so far we have not seen

435
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 4: that staclationary shock that we expected in April after debriation TK.

436
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: We've been saying yet it's not happened yet for a

437
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: long time now, a number of years.

438
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: We're going to get to shut down finished so we

439
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: can get the data because we're all blind.

440
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: That's the number one thing right now. We're waiting for earnings.

441
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: An interesting mating in the last hour or so Toilston's

442
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: slock of Apollo Taston, thank you sir. The Federal Reserve

443
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: producing interest rates by twenty five bases points descent to

444
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: both sides, and a very very limited ability to guide

445
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 2: beyond this meeting into December. Equities attempted to turn around

446
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: the opening bow behind us, the closing bow fifteen minutes

447
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 2: away at a ton of earning still to come. From

448
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: New York City. Good afternoon,
