1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg's Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. Along 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferroll and Lisa Brownwitz Jaily, we bring you 3 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations. 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: To find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple podcast, SoundCloud, Bloomberg dot Com, 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: and of course on the Bloomberg Terminal. Inflation is still hot, 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: and so it becomes a question of do we believe 7 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: that the fete is going to stay firm and it's 8 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: resolved to fight those price pressures instead of reacting to 9 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: weak data. The equity market telling you in the last 10 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: couple of days there will be weakness in their resolve. 11 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: Will there though, Is this a vulcar Esque pal or not? 12 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: Joining us now to try and answer some of that 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: is Vince Ryan Hot, chief economist that dry us and 14 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: Melod Vince, let's start here. This market believes we're saying 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: the first steps potentially towards defen pivot. Do you agree. 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: Not particularly central to this is the view that there 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: will be this immaculate disinflation. Yes, the news might be 18 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: in a touch worse than expecting this morning, but we 19 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: believe the FED inflation will have over the next year, 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: and that will allow them to pivot. Inflation just doesn't 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: come down that way. So, Vince, which is it? Is 22 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: the economy doing really well or is it not? In 23 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: other words, I'm trying to parse out the equity move. 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: Some people are accusing me of just being parish no 25 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: matter what, which maybe you can, you know, accuse me 26 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: of whatever you want. But if the economy is weakening, 27 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: we have a FED that is willing to potentially curtail 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: that if they continue with their rate hikes. Do you 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: think that they are going to cause a recession by design? 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: As j Pala seemed to be sort of not suggesting 31 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: but hinting that there was a risk if you believe 32 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: j pal that inflation is the number one concern of 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve. Now they've elevated that in the dual mandate. Uh, 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: woke up this morning. Inflation is a problem. Inflation is 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: still a problem. Therefore, he's got a slow aggregate demand 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: and hope that aggregate supply fills in the way you 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: slow aggregate demand is tighten financial conditions. Uh, we don't 38 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: have slow enough aggregate demand, yet it doesn't seem to 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: be slowing enough. And trained and we got mixed evidence 40 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: that aggregate supplies filling in, so he needs tighter financial conditions. 41 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: What data is the Federals are going to be looking 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: at in their data dependency. I think the answer is 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: always all of it. Uh that in particular, he brought 44 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: back his stars in his press conference over on Wednesday, 45 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: I e. The FED look has basically set central guide posts, 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: but there are only estimated. They're approximated, and a big 47 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: one is inflation and inflation expectations. That's why you in 48 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: your viewers should be looking forward to the University of 49 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Michigan survey. Uh. That's why they care about what's happening 50 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: in bond markets right now, because that tells them what 51 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: inflation compensation is uh. Right now inflation job number one. 52 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: So everything that goes into the space to predict inflation 53 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: is what's important. Commodity prices, inflation expectations, exchange value of 54 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: the dollar. Where do you think inflation realistically can get 55 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: down to you by the end of the year. But 56 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: it's what's the figure? Uh, Not as much as the 57 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: FED hopes, and much less. In twenty twenty three, I 58 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: think that uh, we'll get a modest upticking the unemployment rate. 59 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: Demand really is going to be slowly and inflation is 60 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: going to be off off of percentage point and a 61 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: half or even two talking about the PC index, So 62 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: we're in the high fives. FED is forecasting not atlantish. 63 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: For two. It's going to be more persistent next year 64 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: because we have so much inertia. We saw it this 65 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: morning with with that uh the e c I. Uh, 66 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: the e c I wasn't as much looking forward to 67 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: future inflation. It was trying to catch up to pass 68 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: erosion to purchasing power. Okay, So given all of that, 69 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: stickier higher inflation than the FED really realistically wants it 70 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: to be. That would indicate that the FED is not 71 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: going to be able to blink even if the data deteriorates. 72 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: And yet that is fully what this market expects. And Vince, 73 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: you said a moment ago they need financial conditions to tighten. 74 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: That's not what they've gotten in recent days. How aggressive 75 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: do you expect the pushback to be over the coming weeks. 76 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to push back, to be honest, 77 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: I was a little disappointed and share Pal on Wednesday 78 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,239 Speaker 1: he was he seemed to be accepting of where markets 79 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: were right there, right, right then and there, he said. 80 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: Essentially the some real economic projections is still appropriate both 81 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: in terms of their forecast for the policy rate and 82 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: the macro outcomes to optimistic on inflation. Essentially, right now 83 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: markets believe the ends to what the FED wants lower inflation. 84 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 1: They don't quite have it right about what the means 85 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: will be. The means will be tighter financial conditions. Uh, 86 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: if you tightened basis points and financial conditions are easier, 87 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: something went wrong and you're gonna have to push back, 88 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: Vincent just quickly here from your perspective, how much would 89 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: inflation have to come down for the Fed to truly pivot? 90 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: I think at that point, UH is going to be 91 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: important about the other part of the dual mandate, where's 92 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: the unemployment rate. If inflation has come down a lot, 93 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: it probably means the unemployment rate is going up. As 94 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: inflation gets closer to their goal, they can put more 95 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: weight to their other goal, maximum employ him. It unemployment 96 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: rate starts rising, they will pivot. In our forecast, we 97 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: think the pit the FED declares victory a little earlier. 98 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: Remember Paul Boker did too. If inflation is notably lower 99 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,119 Speaker 1: in three I e. Still in the three but maybe 100 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: not at goal. The FED will connect dots that says 101 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: it was lower now than it was six months ago 102 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: than six months before that. We're headed in the right direction. 103 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Now is the time to worry about activity. However, you 104 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: don't get the slowness of activity. You don't get that 105 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: decline and inflation unless you get tighter front nancial conditions. Now. 106 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: Vince run Hunt drive us amount of Vince a clinic 107 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: from US. Oh White, thank you said, a lot of 108 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: people have been talking about complacency, and thank you John. Honestly, 109 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: we're still seeing that rally continue and we're still seeing 110 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: a lot of short positions come out and we are 111 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: poised for the biggest rally going back to of our 112 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: twenty in the S and P. Some people who last 113 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: year we're talking about how there was a faulty call 114 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: in transitory or included among them Barbara and Bernard. She 115 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: came out and she was saying, this is not the case. 116 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: It's stickier, it's more protracted. You need to plan as such. 117 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: She is founder. She is chief executive officer and chief 118 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: investment officer of Windcrest Capital. Joining us right now from 119 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: the Bahamas. Barbara and can you just talk about what 120 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: you make of this rally that we've seen so far 121 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: in July, which might be the biggest going back to 122 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: November of Thanks for the opportunity, Lisa. Yeah. I think 123 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: this is a bear market rally for sure, and it's 124 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: based on hope, not on free cash flow, not on 125 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: the free cash flow of the consumer, and not on 126 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: the free cash flow of the corporate when you have 127 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: we're looking at as negative real wage growth, which is 128 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: why we have the lowest consumer confidence in forty years. 129 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: And what businesses are facing is the highest PPI grates 130 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: in forty five years, which is why small business confidence 131 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: is at an altime I'm low. So these businesses are 132 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: facing very little visibility over demand for their goods and 133 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: the cost to produce them, which is not a healthy situation. 134 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, the market is rallying on, like we said, hope, 135 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: not free cash flow. So I don't think it's sustainable unfortunately, Barbara. 136 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: And let's go to the phrase that John Farrow hates 137 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: the most, which is bad news is good news, which 138 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: is what Jonathan Galab was talking about in his note today. 139 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: That's what it's become that the more people start to 140 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: talk pessimistically the way that you do. They talk about 141 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: possibly some sort of pivot from the FED. Why is 142 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: this not the right way to look at it since 143 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: it has been the right way to look at it 144 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: for the past few decades. Well, let's just break that down. 145 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: Is bad news ever really good news? What you're talking 146 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: about is the FED what will not raise rates? So 147 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about MULTIPLE expansion, not EPs expansion, and a 148 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: healthy economy is based on EPs expansion. So yes, you 149 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: don't want to fight the FED, but we also want 150 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: a healthy economy, don't we. Well, in theory, Barbrand, I 151 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: would assume so. But on the subject of the FED 152 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: and how they would likely view what we have seen 153 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: in the equity market a rally, financial conditions getting easier 154 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: and not tighter. At what point will they have to 155 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: push back on this? Well, I feel like they induced 156 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: this rally right. It was the most confusing. Either I 157 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: was on the wrong call or misunderstood the market, But 158 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: what I heard was there's no more guidance. People retired 159 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: of being wrong the number and the number one our 160 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: goal is to bring down inflation for a soft landing. 161 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: But number two, we understand that's challenging and it's got 162 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: more challenging in the recent months. None of that's positive 163 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: to me. And then I think the real error was 164 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: calling to and a quarter to two and a half 165 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: a neutral rate. In my economics techt books, that's not 166 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: the case, particularly not when inflations at nine percent. So 167 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: that is very stimulative and accommodative, and that's what's fueling 168 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: um you know, these forces. At the same time he's 169 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: trying to squash So he also said the dot plot 170 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: is the best indicator. Well, what does the dot plot 171 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: say that we have a hundred basis points of more 172 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: increases this year in fifty next year. So rates are 173 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: still rising and we have consumer and business confidence falling. 174 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: We've never raised rates into falling confidence. And the other 175 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: really interesting experiment is we've never raised rates when the 176 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: US FED debt to GDP ratios are so high. So 177 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: if we do induce a recession, the real risk out 178 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: there is now you have lower tax receipts and higher 179 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: interest expense, which is also not a pretty picture. So 180 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: I'm this is not easy, and I think as an 181 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: active manager, what you want to do is really stay 182 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: nimble and humble, because we're now told were focus on data, 183 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: which is going to be much more volatile. Well, of 184 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: course Chairman Palace said they need to be humble as well. 185 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: As you're doing that. As you're being nimble and humble, 186 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: what does that mean you want to buy in the 187 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: environment you're describing, which, as you say, we've never been 188 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: in before. In theory, higher rates mean you don't necessarily 189 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: want to be owning oath and yet if the economy 190 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: is slowing, maybe you want that cash flow. So what 191 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: do you do? It's a great question. So we actually 192 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: are a net short and we have a mountain of 193 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: cash to buy great opportunities when we see them, we 194 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: don't think we're there yet. Um, we have initiated too 195 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: long new long positions all year and so the barrier 196 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: to entry to get into our fund right now is 197 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: so high. So what does an attractive opportunity look at. 198 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: We're talking about companies that are trading for the cash 199 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: on their balance sheet when we're getting the operating business 200 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: for free. So that kind of upside downside skew is 201 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: the margin of safety I'm willing to take. Otherwise we've 202 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: been generating tremendous ALFA on the short side. I think 203 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: we have thirty six. Actually, I know we have thirty 204 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: seven individual short positions. And this is a real stock 205 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: pickers market. You would be very happy if you were 206 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: long Amazon and not Walmart this week, right, that's a 207 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: stock picker's choice. So being tethered to an index that 208 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: I think is further downside is where I see the 209 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: real risk. By brand. Do you see a lot more 210 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: potholes the ones that we have seen in specific names 211 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking of some of the darlings of the 212 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: pandemic era. Do you see more of that coming or 213 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: is this just an ongoing bleed that the short positions 214 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: will capture. No. Absolutely, I mean, at least if you 215 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: think about this in a rising rate environment, it's crushing 216 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: a whole cohort of companies whose business model was built 217 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: on free money, and so all of that speculative has 218 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: to drain the small and so you're looking at companies 219 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: that are over levered. You know, we're counting on free money, 220 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: um and and and they're they're really gonna be in trouble. 221 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: So we haven't seen the zombies fully deflayed yet. And 222 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: then you're also looking at companies in the pandemic era 223 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: that took on a ton of debt. You know, you 224 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: just look at someone like Carnival Cruises who's just did 225 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: a billion dollar equity raise and still has six times 226 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: net debt to EBITDA And if you go by what 227 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: Royal Caribbean said this week, demands not there that is 228 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: a problem. So now the shorts are very very company specific. 229 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: It's not it's more specific than a macro view. But 230 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 1: this is a real source of alpha generation in a 231 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: market like this. This final point is so important, not 232 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: just Walmart versus Amazon, but Alphabet versus Facebook as well, Barbara, 233 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: and fantastic to catch up with you, Barbara, and burn 234 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: out there of Wincress Capital. Joanna us Now is Selita Marcelli, 235 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: chief investment officer for the America's at UBS Global Wealth Management. 236 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: So to let's start here. I wonder your view on 237 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: the following Is this something you want to chase or 238 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: something you want to fade. I don't think that this 239 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: is not something I want to chase. Look, I think 240 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: the market is have seen earnings that are not as 241 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: bad as feared and perceived fair to be davish because 242 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: their data dependent and data is coming a little bit softer. 243 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: But I don't think FAT is pivoting here. I don't 244 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: think the market is pivoting. There's a long way to go. 245 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: At least in the short term, it's going to be 246 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: much more shoppy. I think we're going to see some 247 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: of these games take can out on the market, so 248 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily be chasing it at this point. However, Um, 249 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: if you put your long term investor lences on, then 250 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: it is still a great time to invest. There's still 251 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunity. Just that the next six months 252 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: I think is going to be quite volatile after this 253 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: earning season is over, Selida, what are you looking at 254 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: for the catalyst for the declines that you're talking about. Well, 255 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: first of all, Um, in this earning season, we heard 256 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: a lot of talk of recession, but we haven't seen 257 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: any indication in the results. Right, We're not seeing broad 258 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: based UM layoffs. There's maybe slowing of hiring UM and 259 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: and consumers are still resilient, even though we heard that 260 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, low income households may be seeing some pressures 261 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: from Walmart from a t nt UH, it's still consumers 262 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: are resilient. Visa told told us that credit card spending 263 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: has been very strong um, we're seeing still travel, leisure, Um, 264 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, seeing a lot of great demands. So I 265 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: think what we would be looking at is, first of all, 266 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: what is happening on the um hiring or or or 267 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: or employment side. And in any case, that's what FED 268 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: is looking at as well. Right, more than anything else, 269 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: wage growth is important. And if they can see that 270 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: the vacancies are coming down and that takes some of 271 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: the pressure of the wage growth, that would give us 272 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: success that they maybe they will be able to pivot. 273 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: But if the you know, if we stave otherwise, then um, 274 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, it probably means that the consumers spend, real 275 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: consumer spending that has been flat so far will probably 276 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: tear our negative and there's going to be a higher 277 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: probability of recession coming towards the end of this year. Well, soel, 278 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: you know, we were catching up with Barbara and Bernard 279 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: of Windcraft Capital in the previous hour and she agrees 280 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: that the market got this FED entire FED conversation wrong, 281 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: that the pivot isn't necessarily coming, that it wasn't as 282 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: devilish as the market perceived, and she said for that reason, 283 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: given the environment she's looking at, she is sitting on 284 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: a mountain of cash? Is it right to be sitting 285 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: on a mountain of cash right now? Um? I don't believe. So. 286 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: I mean you as an investor or, as as our clients, 287 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: private world clients or should have enough cash uh you know, 288 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: to get you through the next six months and liquidity 289 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: for the next two to three years for expenses. But 290 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: beyond that, I think there's the benefits of staying on 291 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: the sideline. Staying in cash is limited, but the opportunity 292 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: cost of being out of the market for the long 293 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: term is much much bigger. Um. You know, I think 294 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: what we did so many analysis on this in our team. Um. 295 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: You know, if if if, if you wait for historically 296 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: going back to if you wait for another ten percent 297 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: downside and then get in and then sell at the 298 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: brand new highs, you're most likely to underperform uh eighty 299 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: times versus a buy and hold strategy. So I would 300 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: say this is like I said before, for a long 301 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: term investor, is still a great time to invest because 302 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: we have a low average valuations in the equity market. 303 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: We have seen almost five percent the rating compared to 304 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: the last twelve months. Um. Right, and when you look 305 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: back since nineteen sixty that is sort of consistent with 306 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: return expectations of seven to nine percent annual for the 307 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: next decade. You have bond yields that are UM close 308 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: to highest since two thousand eighteen, and before that the 309 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: highest was two thousand eight So UM, you know starting 310 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: point in buying is actually a good indication of your 311 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: total returns US. And then you have in alternatives. Even 312 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: in the private equity space. Right, you might see for 313 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: existing funds valuation downgrades in the near term UM, but 314 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: data tells us that funds that are launched UM a 315 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: year after the peak or after significant sell off in 316 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: the in the public markets tend to have superior returns 317 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 1: over the long term. So I think staying in cash 318 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: is not the best strategy if you have long term horizon. 319 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: So later, I've got twenty seconds, I'll give you a 320 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: five year buying hold. You gotta pick one. Think what 321 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: would it be? As boring it may sound, it's a wild, diverse, 322 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: fied portfolio. I think that's stilled in only Why did 323 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: I ask Selta? Thank you Selta Massetti? There have you 324 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: BS Global westh Management Joint US now is Isaac Boltanski, 325 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: Policy Research director of bt I, g Isaac, this feels 326 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: like lose lose. I now you think it feels like 327 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: lose lose? Which loss is she going to take? It 328 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: feels incredibly difficult for her to pull back at this stage. 329 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: My sense is that she's going to have to go 330 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: to Taiwan. I think that the optics would be absolutely 331 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: atrocious if she skips out on it now, and it 332 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: would be a terrible signal given given our relations with Taiwan. So, Isaac, 333 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: how does President Biden deal with this and what does 334 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: this due to his agenda when he's focused on this 335 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: and he spent two hours and twenty minutes speaking about 336 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: that with jjim ping rather than everything else at a 337 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: time when he's losing support rapidly. Yeah, look, I think 338 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: that from a practical perspective, whether she goes or not, 339 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if there's much impact for the market. 340 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this, most of my contacts and 341 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: DC now believe that we're not going to have a 342 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: massive pull back on the China tariffs. There's a sense 343 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: that we will have some targeted and narrow relaxation of 344 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: certain tariffs with a real focus on the consumer side. 345 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: But beyond that, We're not going to have the sweeping 346 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: pull back on the tariffs at summit. Hope. There was 347 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: some chatter not that long ago that we would relax 348 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: all of the tariffs on Chinese goods. That's just not happening. 349 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: I think as we see geopolitical tensions UM continue to 350 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: mount with China over Taiwan and over other issues UM, 351 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: the most that we're going to see are these targeted, 352 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: narrow set of teriff relaxations focused on consumer goods and 353 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: other inputs. Which raises a question, Isaac, of how this 354 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: administration is going to continue putting pressure on bringing inflation 355 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: down aside from just pointing the finger at the FED. 356 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: And they do talk about the recent legislation that they're 357 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: lining up that Joe Manchon did get up word with. 358 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: Do you think that actually could, in the near term 359 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: do anything to reduce inflation? Simple answer is no, I 360 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: don't think that this bill, even though it's called the 361 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act of two, is really going to do 362 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: all that much for inflation. There's definitely some components of 363 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: it that we can point to that are going to 364 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: have an impact over time. Right, the drug pricing dynamics 365 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: can have an impact, but a lot of that is 366 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: backloaded into a longer period. I think that the minimum 367 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: tax can have some impact over time, but again that's limited, right, 368 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: It's only companies over a billion dollars in income um. 369 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: So there are definitely certain elements that we're going to 370 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: see Democrats point to and say, look, we're actually trying 371 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: to tackle inflation. But in reality it's going to have 372 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: a marginal impact at most. Well, and that's if it 373 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: gets over the finish line. Where do you put the 374 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: odds of Carson Cinema giving it a thumbs up and 375 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: it actually becoming a reality. So there are three essays 376 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: that we're all trying to figure out. Right, it's Cinema, mum, 377 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: It's the Salt Crew, and it's sickness. Right, let's just 378 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: run through each one of them quickly. Sickness. We don't 379 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: know which senator is going to get COVID next, right, 380 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: and that's something that matters when you need literally every 381 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: single vote to get it through. On the Salt Crew, 382 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: we've got to watch Senator Menendez and Congressman Goottenheimer, both 383 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: from New Jersey, to see if they're gonna blow up 384 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: this whole deal over the fact that the salt cap 385 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: has not been lifted or eliminated in this proposal, and 386 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: then it's all lies on Senator Cinema. And at the moment, 387 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: I think that she's going to be a yes. Most 388 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: of my contacts believe that she will get to yes, 389 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: and that it's exceedingly difficult to see her blowing up 390 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: this deal over things like the carried interest treatment, which 391 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: is something that has mattered to her in the past. 392 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: And so I'm telling clients that we have to now 393 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: expect this bill to become law. Um, I think the 394 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: odds are are a little bit better than three and 395 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: four that that this bill becomes law by the end 396 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: of the year. Cinema sell sickness. I'm not sure it's 397 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: gonna ring to it, but I'll got with it. Can 398 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: I throw an nextra s Sacrecy Isaac? We didn't know 399 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: about this. I found that pretty interesting. I just wonder 400 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: what asked We don't know how did they get this 401 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: one through Schuma Mansion without anybody knowing den In Washington 402 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: they say that this was coming on. But I've taken 403 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: great comfort in the fact that no one in DC 404 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: can keep a secret. That has given me comfort on 405 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: numerous issues, and so it's a little bit scary that 406 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: two U. S. Senators were actually able to keep a 407 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: secret for this long. And my view on this is 408 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: that it's it's pretty extraordinary in these times in general. 409 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: But we've got to now think about the next iterative dynamic, 410 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: and to me, that's gonna be political retribution from Republicans. 411 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: And you know, we've got to go back and realize 412 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: that the same day that they've passed the Chips plus 413 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: bill out of the Senate, Mansion announced this deal with Schumer, 414 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: and Republicans feel as though they were hoodwinned because they 415 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: passed Chips Plus through the Senate on an understanding that 416 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: we would not have a reconciliation bill. And so there's 417 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: going to be some degree of political retribution from Republicans 418 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: over the next few months, which could make funding the 419 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: government a little bit more difficult. It could make getting 420 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: an end of your tax agreement for stenders and retirement 421 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: change is a little bit more difficult. We're gonna have 422 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: to wait to see, but that's what I'm hearing so 423 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: far from Republicans. What's retribution looks like When the game's 424 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: all my stop mid sense just around the Culinariz sick. 425 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: Isn't that why they make this play at this time? 426 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: Exactly right? And so look, we I think can have 427 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: some degree of comfort in the fact that the mid 428 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: terms are largely baked, at least for the House, highly 429 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: likely that the House is going to flip. The Senate 430 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: will wait and see. And I do think the Republicans 431 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: probably have some good attack points that are going to 432 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: come from this mansion deal, saying that you're raising taxes 433 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: in a time of economic slowdown. So I think that 434 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: the Senate dynamics are perhaps a little bit more in play. 435 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: My two cents on this is that the lane duck 436 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: session is where things go to get done. That's usually 437 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: where we see big bills and small provisions all come 438 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: together and and past because no one wants to be 439 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: in d C during that period, right, They smell the 440 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: jet fumes that want to get out of town. And 441 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: so my point here is that some of the things 442 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: that Congress has waited for um until the lame duck 443 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: can get more complicated now that there is this dynamic 444 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: and political retribution.
