1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: Let's get over there and join the next guest to 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Danielle Di Martine Boots, CEO and chief Strategies at Quill Intelligence. 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: So she's here to discuss the speech by FED Chad J. Powell, 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: and thanks for joining us, Daniel. We got the J 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: Pale cementing expectations ultimately the federal step away from its 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: aggressive pace of tightening next month, and he was presenting 7 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: a case for achieving their inflation without tipping the economy 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: into a deep recession. Daniel, do you do you buy it? No, 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: I don't and I don't buy it solely given the 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: the many, many economic data points that that came out today. 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: We saw the Chicago p m I, which is kind 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: of the it's the heart of the industrial sector in 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 1: the United States. We saw that collapse to thirty seven. 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: At the headline Bloomberg Forecast was calling, the consensus was 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: calling forty seven. The last three months, we've seen a 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four thousand job losses in the manufacturing sector, 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: which echoes what's happening in the industrial region via the 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: Chicago p m I UM, the biggest number of which 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: was this morning the negative one print. So markets I 20 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: think they are celebrating that the data is so bad 21 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: that it looks like it's going to force Powell to 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: the sidelines. And yet when you see the Dow, John's 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: industrial that headline, Jeep, the Dow's up seven points, that 24 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: just gives him, I think, in my view, more ammunition 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: to take it from fifty. But then he'll get back 26 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: to you. So let's take a look at the bond market, 27 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: because many people lean towards the bond market more than 28 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: the stock market to get the real story. Is the 29 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: bond market telling the said that it has, as you suggest, overtightened. Well, 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: I think that that's certainly the message that we're getting, 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: because we are beginning to see a steepening of the 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: yield curve that has been so deeply inverted, the most 33 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: inverted since seeing the beginnings of a reversal that typically 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: goes hand in hand with the economy being in recession, 35 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: not warning of recession um and you've actually seen that 36 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: on the global stage as well. Obviously it's the global 37 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: uh Guild curve inverting. So I think one thing that 38 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: that your listeners should really bear in mind is that 39 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: there's a bigger globality to the current downturn in the 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: global economy. There's there's gonna be more companies, more countries, 41 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: excuse me, encompassed by the downturn. In other words, there's 42 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: gonna be fewer places for the United States to hide 43 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: from the downturn. Yeah, that's just said, isn't it. I mean, 44 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: with Europe looking pretty bad, and you've got to also 45 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: China with all sorts of issues that it confronts right now. 46 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: But I will also just say to you one thing here, Daniel, 47 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: which is that the United States has never really suffered 48 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: a recession which has been imported. It's been quite happy 49 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: to export on the That would certainly be the case 50 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: with the fiscal overspending, exporting inflation to the rest of 51 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: the world. That was then compounded by Russia invading Ukraine 52 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: which created the energy crisis, and obviously food inflation that 53 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: were exogenous factors that just piled onto the inflation that 54 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: the United States was exporting. But again, everything we're seeing, 55 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: we've we've got twenty nine states in the United States 56 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: with rising initial jobless claims, we continuing claims, the percentage 57 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: of Americans collecting unemployment insurance that's up year over year. 58 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: We have I can throw out as many validating points 59 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: as you want, which is why Cities Economic Surprise Indicator 60 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: it's flashing as read as it is. Well, we've had 61 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: this big change in China. We spoke about this a 62 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: lot yesterday, and I think some of our colleagues I 63 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: thought maybe we went a little bit too far about 64 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: a change coming, but we saw now more of it 65 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: today with the comments from Vice Premiere sunshun Land. And 66 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: the reason I bring this up is that if China, 67 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: a lot of what China has suffered from has been 68 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: sort of an own goal, self induced. If they decide 69 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: to to you know, sort of get with the rest 70 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: of the world the way that's handling COVID, that could 71 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: be uh, that could be uh, you know, a big input, 72 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: positive input to the global economy. Do you think that 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: that may brings the US back a little bit? I 74 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: think that if we're looking for a repeat of O 75 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: eight oh nine or the industrial recession of two thousand 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: six um that the evidence that we have is that 77 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: China's stimulus can be of a more gradual nature as 78 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: opposed to the explosive g Look, there's all of Latin America. 79 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna pull it away all of the central banks 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: there looked to be on an easing precipice. I don't 81 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: think that, given the amount of stimulus that China has 82 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: to deploy domestically, that it has the wherewithal the financing 83 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: the two trillion dollar wall of municipal bonds that have 84 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: to be refinanced in China. I don't think there's enough 85 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: to go around to make sure that it safeguards its 86 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: own domestic economy and bails out the rest of the world. 87 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: I just don't think there's enough there. Okay, So the 88 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: final question is what's going to happen next? And one 89 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: of the dangers of a policy mistake, So I think 90 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: um and this was echoed prior to by at least 91 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: a cooking member the Federal's report. Until the job is done, 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a sufficient appreciation. If you look 93 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: at money growth of the effect of quantitative tightening, it's 94 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: not just a month the United States, it's seven a 95 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: month globally, so that liquidity continues to come out of 96 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: the system, regardless of whether the pace declines from seventy 97 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: five to fifty in December and then from fifty five 98 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: basis points on February one. You've still got this depletion 99 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: of liquidity in the global financial system, but I daresay 100 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: cannot be ignored.
