00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Markets Podcast. I'm Paul Sweeney, along

00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Podcast on Apple podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts,

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: and on Bloomberg dot com. Now, let's turn our attention

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: to the economic data that came out this morning, because

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: consumer confidence is not quite as robust as we might

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: have thought. Consumer confidence for October coming in at one

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: point nine, so not a terrible reading, but not as

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: good as economis are anticipating. On the September number was

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: revised lower. Lynn Franco is Director of Economic Indicators at

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: the Conference Board. Lynn, should we start getting concerned or

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: is this still healthy reading? It's a healthy reading. What

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: we're really seeing is that there's been sort of no

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: significant traction in consumer confidence. We had sort of a

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: sharp rebound, um, you know, sort of post pandemic, but

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: then we've sort of been moving a little bit sideways here.

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: So Lynn, I mean, I guess it's not surprising that

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: we're moving sideways, as you suggest, given where we are

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: with the labor market and even some of the metrics

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: for the virus on a global scale. Um, what are

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: what are the consumers? What's their outlook? I guess for

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: the near term, Well, what we're seeing right now is um.

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's the labor market that grove both the

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: improvement in the present Situation Index and also the decline

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: and expectations. So while they're telling us that the job

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: market has improved, you know, sort of from the lows

29
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: of post pandemic levels, they really don't expect much of

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: that momentum to continue through the end of the year

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: and into next year. So it's kind of a glass

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: half empty, half full, where you know, conditions have not improved,

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: but they necessarily haven't gotten much worse either. Yeah. I

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: mean the three months moving average has gone to nine

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: point two, all the way from one seven point re

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: back in March. What's a useful comparison here, Lynn, So

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: obviously March probably isn't the best comparison, even though it

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: looks quite quite the difference. I think the key here

39
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: is the trend, right, So we've seen your confidence to

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: bounce up, they then bounce down and up and down.

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: So would really like to see it gain a little

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: bit of traction in and upward direction, and that's going

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: to be heavily dependent on what happens in the labor market.

44
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: And while you know, unemployment claims have have come down,

45
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: they still remain high. Unemployment is still high, and we

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: expect to you know, softening in the labor market. So

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: we could continue around these levels through the end of

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: the year. And you know, one of the areas of

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: the economy that just it surprises me a little bit

50
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: how strong it is is the housing market. How does

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: that play into the consumer um given that it can

52
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: be such a big part of the consumer's net worth. Well,

53
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: I guess it's probably having a little bit of a

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: positive impact. We did see a slight uptick in the

55
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: percent of consumers which had the intern intended to purchase

56
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: home over the next six months. That has to do

57
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot with low interest rates. But the key is

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: going to be the labor market and what happens there

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: is really going to determine the direction that consumer competence procedures.

60
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Well in the state of you dive into all sorts

61
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: of things like when consumers might be planning to buy

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: a refrigerator or a major appliance when there's a vacation

63
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: intended and it's interesting to see that. Yeah, there's a

64
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: reading of forty four point six for people intending to

65
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: vacation within six months, but almost all of those are

66
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: intending to vacation in the United States, and there's only

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: a tiny number that's a seven point two number looking

68
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: to vacation in a foreign country. Absolutely, you know, we

69
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: did have a pretty good rebound in terms of the

70
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: vacation intention to this month, but it's well below fifty

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: four nine that we saw, you know, back earlier this year.

72
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: And again we've got a lot of travel restrictions. Um,

73
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's also pandemic concerns, so we're seeing that

74
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: people are choosing to vacation locally and the means of

75
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: travel preferred is an auto. We did see a little

76
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: bit of an uptick in terms of those willing to

77
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: sort of you know, fly to destinations, but it's really

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: sort of more about local vacation. Hey, Lynn, thanks so

79
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: much for joining us. We appreciate this getting an update

80
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: on the consumer. Lynn Franco, Senior Director of Economic Indicators

81
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: and Surveys at the Conference board. Vannie, would you hop

82
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: on a plane to go on vacation. You know, I

83
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't bull Yeah, yeah, but then I'm not even doing

84
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: outdoor dining yet, so not really typical down the middle.

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: All right, you're taking a conservative we I'm coming into

86
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Q So I guess there's a few other things too. Yeah,

87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: you worry about Yeah, you listen to the airlines of

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: an you know, they're just not seeing that pick up

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: and demand. And I guess it's probably not surprising given

90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: that we're seeing a surgeon cases. So you know, consumer

91
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: travel leisure continues to be under pressure. Well, Vannie. When

92
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: I started my career, it was at the Chase Manhattan Bank,

93
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: and we made big corporate loans to big media companies,

94
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: and the way we charged interest was libor plus some

95
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 1: premium rate, uh, depending upon the credit worthiness of the borrower,

96
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: so live or the limit. I think it's the London

97
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: interbank offer rate effect. Can remember back all the way

98
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: back to my Chase days. Um, that's kind of been

99
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: the basis of borrowing rates. But that's about the change.

100
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Let's get some color on that with Ira Jersey, chief

101
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: US interest rate strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence. Ira tell us

102
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: about libor and what maybe changing UH with that base rate. Yeah,

103
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: so the base rate is UH basically scheduled to go

104
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: away at the end of UM at least that's what

105
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: the Financial Conduct Authority, which is the regulator of almost

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: everything financial in in England. UM. You know, LIBOR was

107
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: much aligned during the Great UH financial Crisis back in

108
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: two thousand seven to two thousand nine, and starting in

109
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen, there was a real push by regulators

110
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: to find replacement rates for live war globally and UM

111
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of countries have have different rates, and

112
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: many of them found different rates that that they're comfortable using.

113
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: In the US, the primary rate that a lot of

114
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: instruments will UH will basically transfer to is called the

115
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: secured Overnight Financing Rate or SOFA, which is basically UH

116
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: calculated based on repurchase agreements which are loan secured by

117
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: treasuries so UM. So that's why you know that there's

118
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: hundreds of trillions of dollars of these loans outstanding. So

119
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: this is quite a big deal, and I think it

120
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten attention it really deserves by the broader market. Well,

121
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: and let's just fill in the reasoning why this all happened.

122
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: Lie war was one of the sort of the old

123
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: guards of finance. It was hilarious. The way it was

124
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: calculated daily was you just put out a bunch of

125
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: asks to different banks and you've got a whole bunch

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: back and the top three in the bottom three were

127
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: mixed together and you've got some kind of the rate

128
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: and d and then you know this. Well, then it

129
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: turned out that people were actually manipulating it a little

130
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: bit give us some background. Yeah, so so the way

131
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: that that librars calculated it's basically a survey of the

132
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: banks within the panel that are all London based banks

133
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: and they then take a trim mean And what happened

134
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: was during the crisis, um there there were um uh

135
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: banks basically that that put in rates that weren't real

136
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: that that it wasn't really where they could fund because

137
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be basically honest about what what they

138
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: where they can fund in any given day, and that's

139
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: the rate they're supposed to submit and they didn't do that.

140
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: And what what what regulators found and what even courts

141
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: found because there were court cases based on this is

142
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: as well as just regulatory finds that that were passed

143
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: out in the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars UM.

144
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: They basically that they found that it was open to manipulation.

145
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: So some banks wanted to pull out of these panels

146
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: to limit their litigation risk um for being part of

147
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: the Liveboard panel. And as as part of them not

148
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: pulling out UM, some of the regulators said, well, let's

149
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: think about getting getting away from live board at some

150
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: point in the future, and that date was tagged at

151
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: the end of So so this whole transition process has

152
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: really started in earnest in two thousand and seventeen, but

153
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: it's really had to pick up steam because we're we're

154
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: only you know, we're only fourteen months away from from

155
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: basically library going away, which like I mentioned and like

156
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: like Paul had mentioned before, it's been ubiquitous for the

157
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: last three generations, right, So, um, this is not an

158
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: easy task and something that everyone has to pay more

159
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: attention to. So if I'm holding a bond and it

160
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: pays me live War plus two and a half percent

161
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: come the end of what's going to happen? So so

162
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: that's a good question. So for most instruments, what will

163
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: happen is live Board will become this secured overnight financing

164
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: rate plus a spread and and we estimate, we actually

165
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: put this out, uh, just a small wing, we estimate

166
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: that that spread will be twenty three basis points at

167
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the end of So basically you're going to be paid

168
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: twenty three basis points plus plus whatever SOFA is on

169
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: an ongoing basis UM. And so this is a problem

170
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: for some banks because with a fixed spread or with

171
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: using this you know, treasury based secured rate instead of

172
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: a credit based rate like library was supposed to be UM,

173
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: it changes a lot of the calculus in the way

174
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: that UM, in a way that banks fund, and in

175
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: a way that they're going to make loans going forward.

176
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: So if you have a loan, it will still be

177
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: a floating rate, but it will be more interest rate

178
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: based as opposed to the credit spread based, which which

179
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: does have implications for the way that you hedge or

180
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: the way that you you think about your loans going forward. Yeah,

181
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: and just full disposure. Bloomberg had actually put in an

182
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: idea for replacing the librar at the time as well.

183
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: There was a sort of a request out there for

184
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: public commentary, and I believe that Bloomberg had one POTENTI

185
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: chill replacement for a library. So so fur then, I mean,

186
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: is it still going to be you know, London banks

187
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: based or I mean if I'm if I'm paying a

188
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: mortgage in Wisconsin and my credit is not particularly high,

189
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: am I still going to be you know, basing my

190
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: repayments on on what some bankers and London thank you

191
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: so so no, so SOFA is based on an actual market.

192
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: So it's based on the the way that that banks

193
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: and and hedge funds and um and broker dealers basically

194
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: trade and and lend treasury securities to each other within

195
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: the US. So it's it's a very very liquid market.

196
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: There's over nine billion dollars of transactions every day. It's

197
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: one of the most liquid markets in the world. So

198
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: um so so basically you're you're at the whim more

199
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: of dealer balance sheets and bank balance sheets than you

200
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: are worrying about, you know, whether or not you know,

201
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: in London, there's enough dollars for Barclay's Bank to the

202
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: fund themselves, which is what happened during the during the

203
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: financial crisis. So so it's it's a it's a big

204
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: shift and it's a change of mentality because um, you

205
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: won't be paying more if banks find find it hard

206
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: to fund. Um, you'll be paying more if uh um,

207
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: basically if there's too many treasuries out there for the

208
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: amount that people can lend. I thank you so much,

209
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Ira Jersey of Bloomberg Intelligence. They're a chief interest rate

210
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: strategists explaining everything to do with s O F or sofer.

211
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: Time for Bloomberg Opinion. We're joined by John Author's Bloomberg

212
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: Opinion columnists covering all things on the markets. He joined

213
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: us from our Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio out within a

214
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: very interesting column just about a topic that you and

215
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: I were talking about just recently. Vanni. It seems like,

216
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, the numbers are so bad as it relates

217
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: to the pandemic. Here, some of the numbers, you know,

218
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: as bad as we saw back in March and April.

219
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: Yet the markets generally behaving much much better now than

220
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: they were back in March, and able to get a

221
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: sense of why that might be. We welcome John John,

222
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us here. Let's talk about

223
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: your recent column, Covics nineteen. What are you thinking about?

224
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: I think we're getting to a point where the market

225
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: has to accept that the risks of COVID to economic activity,

226
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: and that's obviously what matters primarily to two markets is

227
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: how much of an effect it has on stuff being

228
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: bought and sold, have risen, have returned, and that does

229
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: need now to be reflected in prices. Now. It's obviously

230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: very easy to get very much into big, polarized oppositional

231
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: discussions on this. It's obvious that the medical community is

232
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: getting much better at people keeping people alive when they

233
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: catch this, and it's also obvious that we're all learning

234
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: how to keep at least a certain level of activity

235
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: going on, even at points when we're worried about it. Um. So,

236
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's no question as far as I can see,

237
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: of needing to go down to the kind of depths

238
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: we saw in March. But if you look at the

239
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: economic activity data, you can see even in Germany, which

240
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: is of the you know, the major Western economy is

241
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: the one that's dealt with the virus best to date,

242
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: you are seeing an unmistakable tick up in hospitalizations and

243
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: you're seeing an unmistakable tick down in economic activity, which,

244
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: unlike in the States, really had just about got back

245
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: to normal for a few weeks at the end of

246
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: the summer, and that's obviously likely to be repeated here

247
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: in the States. It doesn't matter exactly what governors say

248
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: or mandate. If people are worried about the virus, that

249
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: that much less likely to go out. It's not like

250
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: we didn't know this was coming, though, John, I mean,

251
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: we've known for a long time that we were likely

252
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: to not get a vaccine this year, at least for

253
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: for the clubs among us. Sorry, m well, there is that.

254
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: I think the issue that arises there the administration calling

255
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: for me. I think the issue that arises there is

256
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: um that. Uh there was and this wasn't ridiculous. There's

257
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: a widespread belief within the market that the the the

258
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: disease had reached what you could call a choke point

259
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: or even herd immunity either. Once a certain number of

260
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: the people who are the most connected, who of of

261
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: necessity on the day to day lives, are the people

262
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: who come into contact with the most other people once

263
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: they've got it. The theory, and it's not that bad.

264
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: Theory was that it would be much harder for the

265
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: disease to spread again, and so in places like where

266
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: we are here in New York or other cities where

267
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: they have been particularly severe outbreaks. The reasonable belief was

268
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: that it just wasn't going to come back with anything

269
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: like that amount of force. Now, you could still argue

270
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: that in most places around the world, cases are picking

271
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: up worst in areas where they've been least problematic before,

272
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: such as the Upper Midwest here in the States. But

273
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: that's beginning to look ever more tenuous that yeah, there

274
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: there are there is a steady drip of news about

275
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: cases here in New York. There's a number of the

276
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: European places that are having problems had already had quite

277
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: severe outbreaks before. So I think there was a reasonable

278
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: degree of hope, justified or not, that we really weren't

279
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: going to get a sign significant recurrence in the places

280
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: we've had it already. And we're now seeing the markets

281
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: beginning to retreat from that hope. And John, you know,

282
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: I think just looking at Europe there seemed to be

283
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of ahead of us again here, and

284
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: we're starting to see some shutdowns in France and Spain

285
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: and other areas and the UK and the UK and

286
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: it's only October, you know, I think it's would it

287
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: be reasonable for people to say this could get materially

288
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: worse as we really get into December, January, February. Yes,

289
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: it would be reasonable to to say that this is

290
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: a time when people are more likely to stay in anyway,

291
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: we have the psychological issue of Christmas coming up. In Britain.

292
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: The rule at the present is is no more than

293
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: six people gathering together in more you know, in indoors,

294
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: even if they're members of the family in the areas

295
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: that are most affected, which basically for most extended families

296
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: means no Christmas dinner, which is a very big families.

297
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: By the way, well there is there there is that

298
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: it might it might actually be bad for the marriage

299
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: its industry, but bad for divorce lawyers. But yet there

300
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: might be slightly at stress there. But but those are

301
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: those are significant issues. And also I nearly missed this

302
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: interview because I was having my flu shot. We are

303
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: now into flu season, uh, and the symptoms of the

304
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: two are quite similar to each other, which gives reasons

305
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: for concern. If you've just had COVID and then you

306
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: get flu, we don't know what that's going to be like, etcetera. Yeah,

307
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: that there are I think there are good reasons to

308
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: believe that this is not going to be as deadly

309
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: per se as it was before, but it could easily

310
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: be very disruptive if Biden wins the presidency, Do the

311
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: markets price out a little bit of the COVID premium

312
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: or the COVID discount in the sense that it's unlikely

313
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: that Biden wouldn't implement some federal sort of orders if

314
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: it came to that, Whereas at the moment we know

315
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: we're not getting those kinds of orders. I I doubt

316
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: partly because he's not getting it. He's not getting in

317
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: until January the earliest um, by which point, even if

318
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: things are terrible, you would if things are at the

319
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: very worst, then the precedent of Spanish flu in nine

320
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: eighteen suggests that by then it would more or lesser

321
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: blown itself out anyway, So I doubt I doubt it

322
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: would have that big There are many other reasons why

323
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: a Biden victory would affect the market. I don't see

324
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: it's having that big of an effect. And at this point,

325
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: masks are so politicized. You could have a federal mask mandate,

326
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure how big an effect on people's

327
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: behavior that would have a good point here, So I

328
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: it just feels like, you know, you could make an

329
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: argument for uh, you know, some real risk in the

330
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: near term. On yes, I mean, there are plenty of

331
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: other reasons for risk in the very near term as well,

332
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: but people were hoping COVID wasn't one of them, and

333
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: they're giving up on that type. Hi, John, thanks so

334
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: much for joining us, and congratulations on your flu shot.

335
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Always going to get that out of the way. John Authors,

336
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Markets Senior editor, giving us his thoughts on potential

337
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: for near term volatile I'm looking at the vix here,

338
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: which is something that Tom Pein loves to call out

339
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: every morning. The vix is above thirty three. That's a

340
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: relatively high level, indicating some risky in the market. Well,

341
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: our next guest has degrees in Russian, Eastern European, and

342
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: Central Asian studies from Harvard University, so the natural place

343
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: for her to end up is leading up Third Bridges

344
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: coverage in therapeutics if you don't mind. Thanks to Jaylan Mamadama,

345
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: who does lead up the healthcare analysis at Third Bridge,

346
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: for joining us. Jollen, you know, I was being a

347
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: little facetious earlier, but it is wonderful to have all

348
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: of that in the background, because we're dealing with a

349
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: global pandemic right here, and we're dealing with global companies

350
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: trying to come up with therapeutics, with vaccines and with cures.

351
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: And I'm curious as to you know, where you think

352
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: the first of the the better vaccines. Let's say we'll

353
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: come out of perfect Thank you so much. Funny and

354
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: justin starting up with earnings from Lily Merchanciser this morning,

355
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: he's really key that you're looking at the second half

356
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: in Q three is to see who's done a better

357
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: job in terms of weathering the storm. And this comes

358
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: down to the vaccine conversation. Um. The media has really

359
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: portrayed us to who's going to come to the market

360
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: first and our experts. Do you really think fisor biontic

361
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: and what that maderna will be making up the first

362
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: generation of vaccines. Now, having said that, we do think

363
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: that the most important mechanism to look after is them

364
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: to be the durability for longevity of the efficacy in

365
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: a mass population, as well as the safety pertaining to

366
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: the durability mechanism. And what I mean by that is

367
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: that there's a window of time where the patient isn't

368
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: client uh to get more infected due to declining antibodies.

369
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: Now as we were pertain to the RNA vaccine, So

370
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: both fives are in Maderna. They have historically shown poured

371
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: your ability and T cell responses, but there are um

372
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: not too many safety concerns, and looking at the ste

373
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: Way guideline not being a strict but efficiency and the

374
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: meeting two months follow up, we essentially see these first

375
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: coming to market, capturing maybe about fifty percent share, and

376
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: then leveling off until we see more durable options come

377
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: out out of the novavaxes, the j and Jason and

378
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: the Marks and especially also both on the preventative vaccines

379
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: and on the prophylactic sides like with the oral antivio

380
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: agents that both fives are working on. So, Jaylen, is

381
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: it the expectation within the health care community that um,

382
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: there will be one kind of go to vaccine or

383
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: will there be kind of a cocktail or uh approach

384
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: where maybe some people will get one or more of

385
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: this vaccine and others will get one or more of

386
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: that vaccine. What's the expectation currently? Yeah, So definitely, although

387
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't like to talk about this in terms of winners,

388
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: there will be three four candidates out there, right, and

389
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: just from the standpoint of of getting the vaccine administrat

390
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: a mass scale, we are going to need a few

391
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: of those players now. In terms of considerations on administration,

392
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: the elderly are the average population and the We saw

393
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: a recent JAMA article noting that you know, living your

394
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: technology platforms like the R and AS, there are safety

395
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: reservations as to the adoption uh in in those you know,

396
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: older populations. For us, when you look at Mark although

397
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: much later entrance in the in the game um they're

398
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: using their established DSc vector platform that has shown amazing

399
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: efvocacy of the bowl of vaccine. Right, it's also going

400
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: to be potentially in single dose and oral formulation, which

401
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: is super convenient and again no reservations when it comes

402
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: to administration for the elderly, You're absolutely right, they're different

403
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: age categories that are probably going to adapt to this differently.

404
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: Having said that, um Nova vacs also has a combined

405
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: potentially combining to the COVID nineteen vaccine with their flu vaccine,

406
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: so from an administration standpoint, that's going to be much

407
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: more convenient and those are the players that we're going

408
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: to be seeing, you know, three or four of those

409
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: gaining adoption at mass scales, but definitely not not one

410
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: player that would not be sufficient in terms of UM,

411
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: in terms of uh mascale adoption, which is really the

412
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: case with really any other therapeutic indications, Jayleen, At some

413
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: point we should have several vaccines, I mean hopefully, right,

414
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: that would be the idea. Do they all stay in

415
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: existence then or or do some end up with better

416
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: marks than others. Yeah, that's a really good question. I

417
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: mean with the RNAs, for example, we do see these

418
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: phasing out and then the URNA platforms being used in

419
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: different affections to be duringn oncology indications, right because on

420
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: fibers partnering with BioNTech um, that's really they're investing in

421
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: the in the in the platform with COVID nineteen as

422
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: a starting point. But likely it is going to be

423
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: faced out when these more durable mechanisms comes to the

424
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: floor out of you know j J and NOLO vax

425
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: and MARK and the two areas to really track are

426
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: both the antibody responses UM as well as the T

427
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: cell responses. As we are still trying to understand better

428
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: the passagenesses of of of COVID nineteen UM. Now, the

429
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: prophylactics options are also going to be interesting to track.

430
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: UM the merk oral anti viral combination with bridge back

431
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: bio UM. We're looking out for the safety data out

432
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: of that. But before we get a vaccine and mass scale,

433
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: these types of prophylactic options, especially in oral formulation, will

434
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: will really we're expecting to see why viceprea adoption, especially

435
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: in skilled nursing facilities. Hey, Jalan, just about the thirty

436
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: seconds left? UM, how confident is the industry that they

437
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: can actually produce and distribute this at scale? Yeah, So

438
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: we were looking at the first hundred million doses by year,

439
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: and our experts don't think that that is viable. I

440
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: mean we're seeing visor bions and keep pushing the timeline

441
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: out further and further. UM, we're probably going to see

442
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: the first hundred million doses sometime you know, mid next year.

443
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is not just ready

444
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: to go, but ready to go and administer to the population. UM.

445
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: In terms of viability, looks the urns are easiest to

446
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: man a factor right the but then that becomes a

447
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: little bit more complicated with the two dozing regiments, so

448
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: anything that single dose will probably catch up to the

449
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: two dozen regimen vaccines. Hey, Jalen, thanks so much for

450

Speaker 1: joining us. We really appreciate your insight getting us updated
