Another 7 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 1: share that is making a pretty big move today, UBS 8 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: shares a plunging at one point at least the a 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: d r s uh at one point, the most since 10 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. A huge reversal, Paul, from just a few 11 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: months ago when they reported pretty pretty sanguine earnings and 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: are just an outlook that was seemed pretty good all 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: of a sudden not so great. Yeah, And I think 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: one of the surprising areas is the wealth management business. 15 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: That's a business set for most of these big banks 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: are supposed to be a steady eddie, predictable busins this 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: long term positive trends, but they actually have some real 18 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: weakness there. Let's dig into that. Patrick Winter's Lumberck News 19 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: Swiss finance reporter joining us Now, Patrick, what happened here? Either? Yeah? 20 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: What's interesting? Where? You guys are mentioning steady, Eddie. That's 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: kind of the market perception of what this business is 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: supposed to be. But it's also a very market dependent business. 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: And you know, if if equities are down, if other 24 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: types of assets are down, that actually translates into losses 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: for the company because it means they have less assets. 26 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: If they have less assets, then they get less revenues 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: from managing those assets. And that's basically the story here today. Um. 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: It is kind of why UBS has had a bit 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: of a shocking quarter and alarmed some people. Um. You know, 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: also given the read through for some of the other 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: banks coming up reporting in the next week. So, Patrick, 32 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: how do you in any sense of how UBS is 33 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: performing relative to its peers and that wealth management business. 34 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: We saw that Society General also had some some weak 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: results as well. But is there any reason to believe 36 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: that this is a UBS specific issue? Interesting you mentioned 37 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: that to a chief executive officers, Sir Duo Mutti was 38 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: saying that in the US at least UBS is doing 39 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: better than its competitors. Um. You know, it's especially flow 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: wise in terms of new money that it's winning from customers. Um. 41 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: You know, they claim that the best. But it's also 42 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: difficult to measure if that's true or not because the 43 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: other US banks don't break out how much new money 44 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: they get from customers um. And that's for the European banks. 45 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: I guess we'll have to wait and see what they report. UM. 46 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's a bit of an alarming sign 47 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: if a bank like UBS comes out and says that 48 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: it's had you know, that it's lost money. It's lost 49 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: money in a in a quarter when it normally gains 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: quite a lot. Well, so let's give some numbers to this, right. 51 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: They said that clients pulled thirteen billion dollars in assets 52 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: during the really ugly three months that ended eighteen. Do 53 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: we have a sense of whether that's stabilized. Do we 54 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: have a sense of of which clients were really withdrawing money? 55 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: In terms of which clients, definitely you can say it 56 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: was the ultra client, that's the big, big billionaires, And 57 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: that's a warding sign because normally you think that the 58 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: billionaire is the best place in this type of market environment. 59 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: They had some surprising outfits in Switzerland, uh and and 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: also in the US UM. So that's kind of geographically 61 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: where it's all coming from UM and I think you know, 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: in terms of how they're doing versus competitors. Yeah, it's 63 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's difficult really to talk about that 64 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: at this point. What one thing that I'm struggling to 65 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: understand is this a re allocation to another firm? Is 66 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: this a re allocation to alternative strategies by ultra wealthy individuals, 67 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: or is this a wholesale take your money and stuff 68 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: and in a maddress. I think it's I think it's 69 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: probably the latter. It's takes Really you don't you don't 70 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: trust equities if I mean, if you're believing what what 71 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: UBS is saying today, it's they're not moving it to competitors. 72 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: They're taking the money, they're stuffing in a mattress because 73 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: they don't believe they're investing in some type of other 74 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: asset in the financial marketplace is going to be safe 75 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: for them at this point in time. So, Patrick, one 76 00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: of the things we heard from the U S and 77 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: vest A banks last week was kind of a similar story, 78 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: and that the very rough fourth quarter, particularly that December, 79 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: but generally a fairly optimistic outlook. Did you be as 80 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: share that optimistic outook for Uh, the outlook was kind 81 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: of nuanced. What they said was if things continue like 82 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: they did in the fourth quarter, you know, then we 83 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: could be in some trouble. But they did not specify 84 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: if that would be the case or not, so they 85 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 1: kind of left it open to interpretation. So going forward, 86 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: is this any sense of what's to come for asset managers, because, 87 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: as Paul was mentioning wisely, this has been sort of 88 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: the the calm harbor, the safe harbor for a lot 89 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: of banks is the wealth management division. Is this sort 90 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: of sounding an alarm saying, rethink that? I think so? 91 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: I think it is. You just really have to watch 92 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: the markets. You know, if if equity markets keep going down, 93 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: then you're going to see more of the same. If 94 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: they rally and go up, then people in the next 95 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: quarter might be saying, how Ubs this the role model 96 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: wants the again, You'll just have to wait and see. Patrick, 97 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: just real quickly. Uh, they start a banker for UBS, 98 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: Andrea or Cell recently left. How damaging is that to 99 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: that franchise If you have a big name like this 100 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: guy leaving it for sure is not going to help 101 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: the investment bank. And they've got They've got two guys 102 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: who have replaced him. They basically split his job between 103 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: two co heads. But I don't think I think it's 104 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: fair to say this either of them really have the 105 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: same name recognition as he does. It's difficult to measure 106 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: the impact of one guy. But definitely, looking at this 107 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: from the outside, it's a lot for them. Yeah, maybe 108 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: they don't have the name recognition. They also don't have 109 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: the paycheck that it comes with. Just how much UBS 110 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: would have to compensate him for leaving his former employer, actually, 111 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: how much he would have to be competated to leave UBS? 112 00:05:50,920 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Patrick Winters of Bloomberg News. Well, 113 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: at least so. The on again, off again trade talks 114 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: between the U S and China appear to be back 115 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: on again. To bring us up to date on what's 116 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: actually going on between the two countries is Michael Herston. 117 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: Michael is a director covering Asia for the Eurasian Group. 118 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: He's on the phone with us from New York City. Michael, 119 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: thank you for joining us. I guess let's start right 120 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: off the bat um. How likely is it that we 121 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: will in fact get a trade agreement this year? And 122 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: how limited or abroad. Do you think that agreement could 123 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: be well, I think that there is a reasonable chance 124 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: of getting some kind of trade agreement within h within 125 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: I would put it at better than at this point. 126 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: But I think the last question you raised is a 127 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: really important one, which is what kind of deal is it? 128 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,559 Speaker 1: And in my view, it's going to be a quite 129 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: limited deal. What I mean there is that many of 130 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: the lead tough issues between the two sides are not 131 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: close to being resolved. And I don't think that President 132 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: Trump can really very easily declare victory by saying these 133 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: issues are settled, because he'll face blowback from Congress, from Democrats, 134 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: including those running for president, and from trade hawks within 135 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: his administration and close to his face. So I think 136 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: what happens is we get a limited deal. Many of 137 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: the tough issues continue to be negotiated, and that means 138 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: that there will there will be a lot of unresolved 139 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: issues hanging over the relationship, which means the US will 140 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: be very slow to remove tariffs, and any agreement is 141 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: at risk of breaking down if the two sides can't 142 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: get past an impass on some of these very tough issues. 143 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: So you think that it's very likely that We're going 144 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: to get a deal done, but the deal will be 145 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: mostly useless, very limited, and possibly revoked pretty quickly. Is 146 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: that right, That's right, it will be well, it will 147 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: be the The use will be that it will lower 148 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: the probability of the worst case outcome in terms of 149 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: what the markets and trading community is looking at, which 150 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: is further escalation of the of the trade dispute. And 151 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, really that would come in the form of 152 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: the US moving ahead with the threat to lift the 153 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: tariff rate on most of the goods that the US 154 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: is imported from China that are under tariff from That 155 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: would be a big move. I think at this point 156 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: it's becoming less and less likely that that happens, certainly 157 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: in the near term. So this removes that worst case probability, 158 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: or at least it lowers it. But what it doesn't 159 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: do is resolve the underlying issues, and it probably doesn't 160 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: lead to a path where the US removes existing tariffs 161 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: in a very quick manner, if at all. So, Michael, 162 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned that you know this is likely to be 163 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: a limited deal. Um, you know, some of the thorniest 164 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: issues between China and the US have historically been around 165 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: technology around intellectual property UM. Is there any scenario where 166 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: you think those issues get addressed with these negotiations or 167 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: is it just too difficult at this point, I think 168 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: it's really hard for me to see a breakthrough happening 169 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: in those areas. And it's because this this set of 170 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: issues related to technology, it spans trade and national security 171 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: for both governments. When you look at um issues like 172 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: the rollout of five G, next generation wireless, or AI 173 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: or quantum computing, all of these are seen by both 174 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: governments as being important not only for economic competitiveness, but 175 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: also for military and national security advantages as well. And 176 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: the US China geopolitical rivalry is heating up, so it's 177 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: it's very hard for me to see Beijing making concessions 178 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: in the areas of tech and innovation policy that meet 179 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: the high bar of the US. Indeed, and actually the 180 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal today was reporting that several US agencies 181 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: have owned that China has absolutely doubled down on their 182 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: wishes and efforts to try to exert a tech dominance 183 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: over the world. That said, Jijn Ping, President of China, 184 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: really sounded a different note at the Party Congress in 185 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: his address when he talked about quote serious dangers to 186 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: the party. What was your take on that, having spent 187 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: a lot of time in Beijing as a representative for 188 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: the U. S. Treasury Department. Well, it was a very 189 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: interesting speech. It happened over the weekend where Jen Pain 190 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: called together senior party leaders in the central government and 191 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: the provinces for what's known as a seminar. And as 192 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: you said, the theme was avoiding major risks for China. 193 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: And I think really it's a reflection of JN Paying 194 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: realizing that China faces risks on a number of fronts 195 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: domestic economy, the external environment, the trade war, um, growing 196 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: geopolitical frictions with the U S UM. Really it's it's 197 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: a very difficult time for the leader ship right now. 198 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: But I think really important point here is that what 199 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: she was saying was that it's not that the the 200 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: direction of Chinese policy is a mistake. Many of these 201 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: risks are the inevitable result of the course that China's plotting, 202 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: which is looking to become a great power and facing 203 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: blowback from the US, or on the domestic economy, restructuring 204 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: the economy, which is going to be painful. So it 205 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: was a message to the leadership that China needs to 206 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: say vigilant in the risks that it's facing, but not 207 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: that she is preparing to change course, and I certainly 208 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: don't think he is. That's interesting. Thank you very much, Michael. 209 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: It's a very complicated issue. Um. That was Michael Herson, 210 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: director covering Asia for the Eurasia Group, on the film 211 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: with us from New York City. I think Michael's take 212 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: is likely to get some type of trade agreement in tween, 213 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: but it's likely to be a limited agreement, so some 214 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: of the authorities issues unlikely to be addressed. At least 215 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: this year, the volatility and the energy markets reared its 216 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: head once again. Today. We've got West Texas Intermediate crew 217 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: down about a dollar fifty seven to fifty two dollars 218 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: and twenty three cents per barrel. That's down almost three. 219 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: To bring us up to date on what's going on 220 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: in the energy markets and maybe one impact China maybe 221 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: having on global energy markets, we bring in Stewart Clickman. 222 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: Stewart is the head of Energy research at c f 223 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: r A. He's on the phone with us from New Jersey. Stewart, 224 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: welcome to the show. I wondered if you could give 225 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: us a sense just right off the top of kind 226 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: of what is your call on kind of the global 227 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: supply and demand situation out there for oil and what 228 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: impact China maybe having on that. Yeah, good morning, Paul. 229 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: So I think I think the first UM piece of UM, 230 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: I guess supply demand fundamentals. That's that's the most important, 231 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: is the demand situation, and you lose China. China represents 232 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: about a third of expected incremental global demand growth in 233 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: so if people start getting worried that that the demand 234 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: picture is going to fall apart in China, that has 235 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: a huge impact on demand overall. And I think what's 236 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: happening is that the producers, you know, the OPEC plus 237 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: consortium is trying to UM, trying to trying to keep 238 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: pace with falling demand by trying to cut their production 239 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: as well. UM and and so that's that's that's the 240 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: give and take between supply demand. Right now, it seems 241 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: to be UM. You know, WIL prices are up a 242 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: little bit relatively the beginning of the year, but they're 243 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: not up a whole lot. So I'm looking right now 244 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: it it crewed traded on the night Max. It's currently 245 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: down a bit and thirteen cents barrel. Where do you 246 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: see us sending the year here? Given all of these 247 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: cross winds, I mean, how can you even make that 248 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: kind of prediction? It's really tough, um Lesa. I would 249 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: say that, you know, we're looking for w T I 250 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: to be somewhere in the high stiftees on average for 251 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: so on the one hand, that's up from where we 252 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: are today, so that sounds like a win. On the 253 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: other hand, last year a crude average sixty five a barrel. 254 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: So really, when you put it in context, we're not 255 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: looking for any any great improvement in price for producers. 256 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: And I think when it comes to the E N 257 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: P S, I think you have to pivot towards the 258 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: more defensive names, the names that are doing a better 259 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: job generating cash flow in that kind of environment. So 260 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: as we think about supply here, Russia has always been 261 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: the wild card, very difficult to predict. They talk about 262 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: cutting production, yet they don't. Um So, what's your sense 263 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: about the supply side of the equation specifically VSAV Russia. Yeah, 264 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: Russia is you know, I think it was Winston Churchill 265 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: said there are a riddle trapped inside an enigma, or 266 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: maybe my FIRSTA, UM, they you know they are, They're 267 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: gonna do what they want to do. UM. They have 268 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: agreed to cuts of UM around four hundred thousand barrels 269 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: a day UM they plus the others in the non 270 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: OPEC piece of OPEC plus. But the December numbers, according 271 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: to the i A, show that Russia actually increased production. UM. 272 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: So you know, they have six months to kind of 273 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: get their act together and get on the same page 274 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: with OPEC. But the early indications are that there are 275 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: some call it artistic differences between what Saudi wants and 276 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: what Russia wants. Well, how much influence does OPEC have 277 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: on Russia. It doesn't seem like it has much. I 278 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: don't think they really do. UM. I think, you know, 279 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: in UM, when oil prices fell through the floor and 280 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: landed around twenty six dollars a barrel, everyone was on 281 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: the same page because twenty six dollars about worked from nobody. UM. 282 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: I think that Russia's cost structure is perhaps UM a 283 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: little better UM than than Saudi's is. Keep in mind 284 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: that Saudi has all sorts of social programs that I 285 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: need to pay for, and I think that Saudi's desired 286 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: number is probably higher than USh is at this point. 287 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: So I've been seeing data at point after data point 288 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: showing that US production has risen to new records and 289 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: makes new highs every month, and I'm just wondering, how 290 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: much further do we have to go? How much more 291 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: can the US ramp up its production here. It's been 292 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: a real surprise to the market. I would have said 293 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: three months ago that I thought we were close to 294 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: topping out, and yet they continued surprise. To the upside, 295 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: there are some indications that, um, there's not a lot 296 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: of room left for further efficiency improvements. Um. You know, 297 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: some of the producers I started talking about what they 298 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: call parent parent child interference, where wells that you've already 299 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: drilled are are getting in the way of wells he 300 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: would like to drill. So, you know, the technology side 301 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: of the battle between technology and geology, technology is still winning, 302 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: but but there is a limit. And at the moment, 303 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: the expectations are that non opect growth led by the 304 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: US is going to deliver more production in twent nine. 305 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be I think that delta 306 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: is going to be less than it was though, So 307 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: just real cookie Stewart and what's the preview of the 308 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: earnings coming at fourth quarter earnings for some of these 309 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: energy companies are is there particular areas that you're gonna 310 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: stay away from? Um, you know, I think the services 311 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: space looks a little beleaguered at this point. Um. You know, 312 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: they've they've they've suffered for the last couple of years. Um, 313 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: in a in a weird way, it's it's they've kind 314 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: of sowed the seeds of their own demise. They've gotten 315 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: so good at helping producers get more oil out of 316 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: the ground that um, that it doesn't take quite as 317 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: many assets to deliver a lot of production growth for 318 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: the customers. So the customers are winning that battle, Haliburton 319 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: reported today, and my colleague Page Marcus published a note 320 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: on them, you know, maintaining a whole recommendation with them. Um, 321 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: you know, in part because you know, the services you know, 322 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: services pricing business doesn't look all that all that rosy 323 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: right now. Unfortunately, we're going to have to leave there. 324 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: Thank you so much though, for being with us. Stuart Glickman, 325 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: head of Energy Research at CFR A research from New Jersey. Well, 326 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: we did get from the International Monetary Fund a bleak 327 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: assessment of global growth. They forecast the weakest growth around 328 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: the world in three years, and they are not blaming 329 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: China frankly for their downgraded assessment of the world, but 330 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: rather Europe in particular Germany. Let's talk about how that 331 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: is shaping up some of the views of investors. Jack 332 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: Ablin joining us now founding partner in chief investment officer 333 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: at Crescent Wealth Advisers. Jack, thank you so much for 334 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: joining us from Palm Beach, Florida. I'm just wondering, do 335 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: you care what the i m F says about global growth? 336 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: Are they accurate and sort of relevant to you? You know, 337 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: I do care about changes in their growth forecasts, and 338 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: they do highlight things that are a concern of there. 339 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: I remember, i am FF is really there for the 340 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: emerging markets, and so I did to pay more attention 341 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: to what they say in that regard rather than the 342 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: developed world. So you're not that concerned about Europe right now? 343 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: Not that concerned? No, I mean, I'm and concerned about Europe, 344 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: but I'm not more concerned about Europe now that the 345 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: I m F has put it on their radar screen. 346 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: So Jack, how concerned are you or how do you 347 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: view emerging markets. You know, in that volatility we experienced 348 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of ther emerging markets got hit 349 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: extremely hard. Bouncing back a little bit here in the 350 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: new year. How are you positioned in emerging markets and 351 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: what is your recommendation to your clients? Sure, um, well, 352 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: we are underweight emerging markets, even though I would argue 353 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: from on a historical basis they're pretty cheap. In fact, 354 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: they're probably the cheapest major asset class in the world 355 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: right now. Um. But there are a lot of things 356 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: that need to be sorted out, not the least of which, 357 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: of course, is just near term economic trajectory, but more broadly, 358 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, I want to really better understand this uh 359 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: tipfort trade issue with China. You know, I think investors 360 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: originally thought this was a tactic. Uh it is now 361 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: since morphed into a strategy. Um. And the question really 362 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: is is this ultimately a policy, a policy that reverses 363 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: thirty five years of outsourcing globalization and and and and 364 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: finding the best um, you know, producers for the best goods, 365 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: and you know, a shift to more inward focused where 366 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: perhaps this wall kind of personifies that that worldview. Well, Jack, 367 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned China, we had a guest on earlier who 368 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: suggested that a deal trade deal between the US and 369 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: China is possible is likely maybe odds, but that it 370 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: will be a very limited deal, not have a lot 371 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: of teeth into it. Assuming that's the backdrop, How important 372 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: is getting a deal, any deal with China to the 373 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: overall equity markets. I think that it's important that, um, 374 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: there is a dialogue, that there is some back and 375 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: forth here, that this isn't just uh, you know, uh 376 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: digging heels into the sand, so to speak. Um. And 377 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: so I would like to make sure that there is 378 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: some trade decent going on with China. UM. But you're right, 379 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: I mean there's still larger issues looming relative to more 380 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: than just necessarily these these tariffs. In fact, um, there 381 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: are many analysts now believe that these tariffs will will 382 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: be here to stay permanently um or at least on 383 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: many items. And I think businesses are going to have 384 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: to adjust to that. And and that's where I have 385 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: some concern. I want to talk a little bit about 386 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: UBS and what they're reported with respect of thirteen billion 387 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: dollars of client withdrawals, and we were just talking about 388 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: how this really came from the high net worth the 389 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: ultra high net worth individuals who basically we're trying to 390 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: stuff cash into a mattress. Do you adhere to the 391 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: same strategy of stuff in cash into yeah. Do you 392 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: think that that's a that's a prudent thing to do 393 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: to take money out of equities, cash out in the 394 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: in the good days and and sort of just put 395 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: money aside. Yeah. I mean, I will say, we normally 396 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: don't carry much of a cash balance, and we do 397 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: have a cash balance now. Um. You know, I'm not 398 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: why I think that there are still, like I said, 399 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: there are still things that need to be sorted out. Well, 400 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: valuations among US large caps. You know, you you can 401 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: convince yourself that they're fair value. I mean, it all 402 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: depends on what what metrics you want to use. I mean, 403 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: anyone who's bullish today on US equities is looking at 404 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: forward pe um. Those of us who look longer term, 405 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: whether it's um, you know, a Schiller metric or price 406 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: to book, price to sales, something that looks back today 407 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: relative to the last thirty year is still argues that 408 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: we're still above the seventy five percentile of our you know, 409 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: historical valuation range. So it's not as cheap as perhaps 410 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: it appears. But I think more importantly, UM, you know, 411 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: I watch credit conditions, and while we had this nice 412 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: little bounce, I think because investor attitude has just got 413 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: too negative too quickly UM last year. UM, but lenders 414 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: are still tightening their purse strinks. And I think the 415 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: the environment UH for liquidity and credit is not as 416 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: easy as it was this time last year. And I 417 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: think that creates a you know, a little more difficult 418 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: environment to to take on risk. Well, given your more 419 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: I guess cautious outlook, certainly near near term, where are 420 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: you putting money to work these days? Sure? So? UM, 421 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, within the the the context of the world UM, 422 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: US you know you could argue as fair price to 423 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: overprice depending on a metric use international developed UH, you know, Europe, 424 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: Japan leat UH, your Japan UK certainly cheap or at 425 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: least relatively cheap to the US and probably UH slightly 426 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: below fair value relative to long term UH and emerging 427 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: markets cheap. So we are underweight equity risk exposure. But 428 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: within that we're tilted more towards the international space than 429 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: UM here in the US. What was the most recent 430 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: changed to your allocation. I think that, um, it was 431 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: really this notion that um, you know, we got into 432 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: this environment where interest rates were held too low for 433 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: too long. Um. You know, if you look back, for example, 434 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: the tailor rule would have argued that the Feds should 435 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: have started tightening back in two thousand and thirteen. And 436 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: of course the Taper tantrum kind of scared uh central 437 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: bankers into perhaps sitting tight uh um. And when you 438 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: get an environment where rates are too cheap for too long, 439 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: it's very similar to what happened in under Greenspan when 440 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: he was fearful about Y two K. He was reading 441 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: Edyar Denny's work about how the lights weren't going to 442 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: turn on, and so he didn't have much of a 443 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: technology background, and so he decided to keep liquidity among 444 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: the banks very high and interest rates artificially low. We 445 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: saw what happened. We got large cap tech leading the 446 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: way higher, very similar to what we had now. So possibly, 447 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: um as rates start to rise domestically, yeah, we could 448 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: see a shift out of large cap both and into 449 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: small cap.
