00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live to New York, Bloomberg eleventh Rio to Washington,

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: d C. Bloomberg to Boston, Bloomberg twelve hundred to San Francisco,

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: Bloomberg nine to the country. So exam General one nineteen

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: and around the globe the Bloomberg radio plucks happened, Boomberg

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: got gone? Is taking stock? Coming up on taking stock?

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Are we in normal times? Our next guest has his

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: own perspective. He says, the market really isn't about comparing

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: bonds and stocks. We've got more details. Kevin Guinness is

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: here in studios today. He's had a fixed income at

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Raymond James Treasuries actually didn't move too much, but him,

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: as we've been talking about their desk, seemed to be

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: a split about how soon it interest rate hike maybe coming.

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: No split here. We're getting right to Charlie Pellett now

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: in the newsroom with the Bloomberg Business Flash, and I

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: thank you very much, Kathleen Hayes, thank you, Pim Fox.

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: We do have the tenure up seven thirty seconds that

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: yield one point five five percent. Equities fluctuating between gains

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: and losses right now. The SMP five hundred indexs i'll

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: call that unchanged. We've got the Dow down four little

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: change there. The Neztack Compositive Index also down four points,

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: not to drop of one tenth of one percent. So

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: the SMP at twenty one seventy seven, NESTACK at fifty

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: one down, industrials eighteen thousand, five D forty five, gold

24
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: down a dollar sixty, the ounce thirteen fifty one to

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: drop there of one tenth of one percent. Crude oil

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: up eighteen cents, forty six seventy six of barrel up

27
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: five four tenths of one percent. So stocks fluctuated after

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: briefly erasing losses as minutes from the latest Federal Reserve

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: meeting showed officials were split on whether an interest rate

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: increase was warranted soon. Chris Lowe is chief economist at

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: ft N Financial. He was interviewed minutes ago right here

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: on taking stock. We know there was some disagreement among

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: the committee. That was pretty clear from the beginning. The

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: balance of risks has been missing the last couple of

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: meetings because they've wanted to provide more nuance. But but

36
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: I guess first reaction, the nuance hasn't changed very much.

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: The disagreement continues to be along the same line. A

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: lot of retailers in focus today target cutting its annual

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: forecast target shares. They are down now by six percent

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: lows losing ground to Home Depot and it's been to

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: capitalize on the home renovation boom lows down five point

42
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: eight percent. Also out with earnings today, we did hear

43
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: from Urban Outfitters. Wall Street liked its reports. Share surgeon

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: sixteen point two percent, again recapping S and p up

45
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: by less than half a point. Now let's look at

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: other news from around the world. Thank you Charlie from

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg news room. I'm Rainey in Essencio. This news

Speaker 1: dot com. Land Rover Manhattan is at your service. Speaking

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: to a crowd in Cedar Rapids a today, Democratic Vice

53
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: presidential nominee Tim Kane attacked Donald Trump as unfit for

54
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: the White House. Kane lashed out at Trump for saying

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Arizona Senator John McCane is not a hero because he

56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: was captured an ignorant, insensitive, thickheaded comment, and this guy

57
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: wants to be commander in chief, he shouldn't be within

58
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: ten ten time zones will be in commander in chief

59
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: with comments like that. Trump's campaign is undergoing a major

60
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: staff shake up. RNC communications director Sean Spicer says that

61
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: change is a good one for the campaign. I think

62
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: it's a healthy addition as well as Kelly and Conway

63
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: at this point, adding more senior folks as we head

64
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: into this final stretch. The last eighty three days are

65
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: gonna be crucial. Having people that can be traveling with

66
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: with Mr Trump, as Kelly Anne will be doing and

67
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: making sure that those strategic decisions. Adding to the team

68
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: that's already in place with Paul Manafort the top is

69
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: a healthy sign of a campaign that understands what needs

70
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: to occur as we head down these these final days.

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: More Louisiana residents have been returning home as floodwaters drained

72
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: from some of the worst hit regions of the state.

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: State officials say six thousand people remain in shelters, down

74
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: from more than eleven thousand earlier in the week, and

75
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: the Wildonstein Mansion is back on the market for one

76
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. This after the government of cutter backed

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: out of a deal to buy the Townhouse. Global News

78
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day, powered by more than journalists

79
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: and analysts in more than one twenty countries. I'm Rainy

80
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: in essentio, this is Bloomberg, Charlie, and we thank you

81
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: and again recapping equities fluctuating the SMP now up a

82
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: point at seventy nine, little change bottom line there that

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: now also little changed up five points. Now that's a

84
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: gain of less than point one percent. I'm Charlie Pellot.

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: That's a Bloomberg business flash, Bloomberg j Stock. The Fed

86
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: in focus. There's certainly a lart of discussion about whether

87
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: or not the Fed is going to try to hike

88
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: rates again this year. We think the Fed by December

89
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: will be ready to do another hike. That sounds like

90
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: a big difference from the market, but it's not that

91
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: big a difference. I think at this point the Fed

92
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: is going to remain on the sideline through and most

93
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: likely the better part of because they have a huge

94
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: communication problem with the public about what's driving their policy decisions.

95
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: They basically have no strategies. The fed in focus on

96
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio. The best of times, the worst of times,

97
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: normal times. What kind of time is it to invest

98
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: your money in bonds? That's why we have Kevin Giittis.

99
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: He is the executive vice president and the head of

100
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: fixed income for Raymond James. He joins us here in studio. Kevin,

101
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: welcome normal times. There's got to be anything but normal times.

102
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead, tell us about it. Well. In normal times,

103
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: when you look at stocks and bonds, you see some correlation,

104
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: can be a negative correlation, can be an exact correlation, UM,

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: but they tend to um go in reasons UM that

106
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: are only known to equities and to fixed income. Where

107
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: we are now is um. I can't even begin to

108
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: talk about why the equity market is where it is

109
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: other than there's so much money in the system looking

110
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: for alternatives to bonds that it would explain why equities

111
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: are are doing well. The flip side is in the

112
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: bond market. Uh. This is clearly something that is more

113
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: than the domestic economy. This is a global event of

114
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: which money is flowing in from areas that aren't getting

115
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: high returns or have negative returns. So we look at

116
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: the markets differently and we look at the bond market

117
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: specifically about where the money flows are and what the

118
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: likelihood of a FED action anytime in the near future

119
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: is going to be. Uh. Is it possible that this

120
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: is we finally seen the extent of the rally now

121
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: in the treasure market US treasure market. Yeah, that would

122
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: be probably the seventh iteration of the thought that the

123
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: bond market is done. UM. I never think it's done, though,

124
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: but I'm just wondering. Give maybe it is. It's UM,

125
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: we're reaching the kind of the diminishing returns port portion

126
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: of the of this long run bull market in in UH,

127
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: treasuries in particular, bonds in general. UM. What's gonna change that?

128
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: UM is gonna have to be something that's near a

129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: perfect storm UH and economic growth UM, global rebounding specifically

130
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: in Europe, UM, Japan figuring out something about interest rates

131
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: and what it means to their actual economy, and then

132
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna have to increase demand enough to push prices higher.

133
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: So those are the kind of the events that are

134
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: going to really change this thing right now. I don't

135
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: see it if interest rates were hired, do you believe

136
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: that we would have better economic growth? Probably? So I

137
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: think that UM what the FEDS desire was when driving

138
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: interest rates and now down so far with with buying

139
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: UH would indicate that they would come out of those

140
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: UM less risky assets going to risk your assets reinflect

141
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: the economy, Interest rates would go up naturally, inflation would follow,

142
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: and their their monetary policy would be easier to UH

143
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: to predict. And sounds like a great theory, but in

144
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: practice not so much. The problem that we're dealing with

145
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: is is you want to take and look at past

146
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: FED actions as a precursor to future FED FED actions,

147
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 1: But we're also dealing with OH nine, which is only

148
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: slightly better than the actual depression and the crash itself,

149
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: So we're dealing with much different kind of economic booms

150
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: and busts, which has made this hard. Now that the

151
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: FED toolboxes is, we're down to the remaining screws and

152
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: a couple of nails, right, there's not much left to

153
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: do here other than to follow the rest of the

154
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: world and drive interest rates to negative levels. Well, of course,

155
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons we've had this huge rally

156
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: is because there's so many negative yields around the world.

157
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to buy treasuries. What what's a what's a

158
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: decent strategy? What's the move now the treasury is maybe

159
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: the rally isn't over, but maybe it doesn't have a

160
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: lot further to go. So then what do you say, Well, well,

161
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, investment grade corporate bonds are good because if

162
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna get any game, maybe they call me picks

163
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: up and stocks keep doing better, you know, widen that spreading,

164
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: you make money that way something like that. Yeah, so

165
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: it's your appetite for risk. Um, if to get higher

166
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: returns in the bond market, you have to take on

167
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: additional credit risk or go further out. Of course, it

168
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: depends on how far you want to go out in

169
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: the duration ladder. We would be willing to accept a

170
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: little more credit risk if you would shorten durations on

171
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: the way up, um and and satisfy that. The problem

172
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: with that is these premiums have been shrinking and these

173
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: spreads have been tightening because everyone sees that as a

174
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: as a viable option. So um, unless you're an attacks

175
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: bracket where you can buy long muties, uh, the corporate

176
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: bond market, where spreads have been tightening, is a good

177
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: place to be. Corporate balance sheets have been building cash

178
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: through this entire um, a period where the feed has

179
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: been easy, which has provided them with balance sheet opportunities,

180
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: which does mean if economy does come back, there's there's

181
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: a good chance that those equities will go up and

182
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: maybe the bonds will hold steady. And if you hold

183
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: those bonds and rates increase, then you have to figure

184
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: out who you can sell them to very quickly, no exactly,

185
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: and the Achilles field for bonds is always going to

186
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: be inflation, which means you're at your risk on the

187
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: longer end, price erosion is greater if that inflation emerges.

188
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: The the point we are now is where is that

189
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: inflation going to come from, Who's gonna generate it, and

190
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: why is it gonna gonna happen? And there's little fear

191
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: in that, but just really quickly here. But that's the

192
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: that's the whole point of a short duration position. You've

193
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: got like ten seconds, because then if you have that

194
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: move Pim talked about, you just told on too until

195
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: the mature and you don't use any money exactly. And

196
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: that's why we've we've been telling clients to shortened duration,

197
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: get into that intermediate sector and ride this out. All right, Kevin,

198
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: get us once again educating us on the bond market,

199
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: of keeping us up to date on the bond market

200
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: the FED, because certainly the Federal Server is one of

201
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: the biggest levers for the bond market. Kevin is executive

202
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: vice president and had a fixed income that's bonds at

203
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Raymond James. This is Bloomberg coming upon taking stock. Federal

204
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: regulators have issued new greenhouse gas standards that will force

205
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: the manufacturers of truck engines to reduce carbon emissions. We've

206
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: got details
