0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>of the Council of Foreign Relations, writing final days come

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>down to turn out? Does the floating garland of garbage

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 2>in soult reminded where the recon voters in swing states

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>of Trump's poor treatment of the island after Hurricane Maria,

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>seeing massive backlash, But will they vote on it? This

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>could make or break the election?

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Heid?

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 2>He joined us now for more, Hidy, just elaborate on

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 2>that your thoughts on the last few days, this word

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>garbage and how it may shake up this election.

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Rice. So I actually I'm paying a lot less attention

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 3>to the Trump comments on garbage than what happened at

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Madison Square Garden on the floating island of garbage comments.

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 3>And I think the reason that I'm thinking that is

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 3>because right now it really does come down to turn out.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 3>The polls are razorsin in the states that matter, in

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 3>the communities that matter. And so if you're undecided and

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 3>you haven't voted yet, what's going to make you decide?

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 3>If you're ambivalent, and you are, you know, you need

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 3>an actual reason to vote. Is what Trump's talking about,

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 3>going to actually, you know, turn the dial for you.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Because I think his I think his supporters are pretty

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, they're they're pretty committed, and if they haven't

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 3>voted already, they're probably going to vote for him regardless

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 3>of the garbage comment. For the Puerto Rican community, I

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>think it's really a wild card.

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 4>That's That's what I'm paying attention to.

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Because the comment at the event at Madison Square Garden,

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 3>even though Trump did not make it himself, he never

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 3>apologized for it, and it insulted and reminded Puerto Rican

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 3>voters in swing states of Trump's poor treatment of the

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 3>island after Hurricane Maria, about the way he delayed aid

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>and then when he got there two weeks after a

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 3>devastating hurricane.

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 4>He threw a bunch of paper towels at the crowd.

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 3>And so, you know, it's a question of whether or

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 3>not these very large Puerto Rican specifically populations in these

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 3>swing states. And Marius talking about Pennsylvania. Half a million

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Puerto Ricans live in Pennsylvania, in a state that Joe

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 3>Biden when he won last time, it was on eight

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 3>eighty thousand votes. So you know, we're talking about very

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 3>large numbers who could decide they're really not very happy

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 3>about what they saw four years more than four years

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 3>ago in the treatment of Puerto Ricans.

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 4>It was insulting and it could move the dial Heidi.

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 5>Of course, the flip side of this is a large

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 5>part of Individuals can also be turned off on the

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 5>President of the United States comments that half of Trump's

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 5>supporters are quote garbage and Kamala Harris is now having

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.679
<v Speaker 5>to clean up Joe Biden's comments. Is he doing more

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 5>damage to her every time he goes out and speaks.

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>So I think that it was unfortunate that he used

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 3>that that that language, and it obviously harkened back to

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 3>to uh to comments that were made during the campaign

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 3>with with Trump and with with Hillary Clinton.

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 4>So you know, but.

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Again, if you are going to it's really about a

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 3>narrow swath of voters.

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 4>And what can what can motivate them.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 3>To change their decision or if they are turned off

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 3>of politics and just want to sit this election out,

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 3>what can make them actually get up out of their

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 3>house and actually cast that vote. And I don't I

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 3>don't know if press in Biden's comments, which we're not reflected,

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 3>we're not we're not re electing President Biden, if they

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 3>actually are going to move the dial for that very

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 3>important group of undecided or ambivalent voters.

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 5>How do how do you think she sticks the landing

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 5>when it comes to the economy the ft this morning

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 5>calls Kamala Harris's other electoral foe inflation. This continuously shows

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 5>up in polls. How does she distance herself in these

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 5>final days in these swing states from the current administration

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 5>when it comes to inflation.

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 4>So it's really it's a hard it's a hard narrative.

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, people are actually people are generally hurting from

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.119
<v Speaker 3>the fact that the goods, you know, the everyday goods,

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 3>cost more than they than they did pre COVID. I

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 3>guess what I would what I would suggest is that

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, looking it's not just looking back over the

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 3>last four years, it's looking forward to what what a

0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 3>blanket teariff policy across all you know, the whole the

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.119
<v Speaker 3>whole world of ten to twenty percent and sixty percent

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 3>on China, What that actually could mean for inflation? Well,

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 3>it's probably they're you know, those kind of tariffs are

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 3>inflationary tariffs.

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 4>We you know, we've had for many years.

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 3>We know what they do, what they're They're inflationary, and

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 3>it depends if they are tactical and targeted versus across

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 3>the board.

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I don't think that.

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 3>That voters really understand that that that Trump, saying that

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 3>he is tariff man, can get into the Oval Office

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 3>day one and actually without any checks and balance, he

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 3>can actually implement his across the board tariff policy.

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 4>That would be inflationary. And what does that mean.

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 3>It means that it's going to impact consumers intermediate inputs,

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 3>like for every every business that's part of a supply chain.

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 4>You can count on retaliation.

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 3>You'll blow up all of our our FTAs with countries,

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 3>and our allies will push back pretty pretty heartily against

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 3>us in a world where we actually need our allies,

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 3>we don't need to alienate our allies. So I think

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 3>that there are you know, it's not only inflation, but

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 3>you could have both, you know, commercial inflation and and

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 3>geopolitical reactions that would be highly negative. What does the

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 3>FED do, We're talking about the FED for next week.

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 3>What does the FED do if they're facing you know,

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 3>challenges to inflation on the on one side, and then

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:38.720
<v Speaker 3>spillovers that might impact credit markets, mortgages, company borrowing, You're

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 3>going to be in a very different, a very different

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.919
<v Speaker 3>dynamic if we come January and.

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 4>You have massive across the board tariffs.

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>And post id or what are you watching in the

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>final days of the election race.

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 3>So you know, again it's the markets are are not

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 3>a good predictor of of of who's going to be

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 3>in this in this election, who's going to win this election.

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 3>But I do think that the fact that you've had

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.239
<v Speaker 3>a lot of women show up in early voting, You've

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 3>had and the gender divide plays very much into into

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Harris's into Harris's camp.

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 4>The fact that.

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 3>You do have these narrow, these narrow populations, who can

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 3>actually you really determine the election one way or the other,

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 3>and we just don't know. Anyone who tells you they

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 3>know who's gonna win doesn't know what they're talking about.

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>We are neck and neck right now, and we're not

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 3>going to know until until the votes are finally counted,

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 3>and that might not be next next Tuesday, might not

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 3>be next week.

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Don't say that, Heidi, hoping it's so low by THENI

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>do you appreciate your time as always, Hidi cree by

0:07:49.040 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Redik of the Council on Farm Relations. Seth Carpenter, the

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 2>chief Global economist that Mark and Stanley is with us

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>around the table, Seth to sixteen. Should I ignore the

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 2>random number generator tomorrow morning at eight thirty Eastern if

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 2>it's weak based on the fact the jobless claims are

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>this slow?

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely. I think if it's weak, even if today hadn't

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.119
<v Speaker 6>been two sixteen, you would have still ignored the random

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.119
<v Speaker 6>number generator. The bottom line is the labor market's actually

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 6>pretty healthy. I think the two sixteen is consistent with that.

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 6>I think the fact that you're getting a little bit

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 6>of a drift up in the continuing claim says, boy,

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 6>you know, maybe people aren't getting rehired as quickly, but

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 6>there's not a wave of layoffs, and that, for me

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:36.199
<v Speaker 6>is what's fundamental.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>The hurricane impact doesn't seem to be there. Last week

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>already predated. Those numbers were actually below the hurricane impact

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 2>the pre hurricane hit. And then you've got the strikes.

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>So we're not seeing any real mushrooming into the economy

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 2>off the back of these strikes either. How do you

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>frame a downside surprise like this. I'm still scratching my head.

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing here down at two sixteen?

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 6>I mean, this is the question we keep asking ourselves.

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 6>So this whole expansion, we've been on the constructive side

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 6>of things. When it was hard landing versus soft landing,

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 6>we said soft landing. When it was late summer and

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 6>we got a week jobs report, we said, don't worry

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 6>about the economy as strong and people through rotten garbage

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.079
<v Speaker 6>ass Untilda said, we were ugly and stupid. If we've

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 6>been wrong, it's because we've been insufficiently optimistic. And I

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 6>think these numbers are really consistent with a super healthy

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 6>job market.

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>So then why should the FED cut rates next week?

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 6>I think the Fed's view on this is going to be.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 6>Inflation's coming down, it's clearly off its peaks, it's trending down.

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 6>The number we got today it is a little bit

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 6>of sort of wobbling around in it, but I think

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 6>the trend is still pretty clearly down, and so from

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 6>their perspective, you can still lower rates from where we are,

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.319
<v Speaker 6>be restrictive, try to take a little bit more steam

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 6>out of the economy without jeopardizing the prospect of growth.

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 6>So I think they're trying to walk this very fine

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.199
<v Speaker 6>balance of being tight but not too tight.

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking right now at the PCEE data. Within all

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>of this, you see a strong labor market and see

0:09:55.760 --> 0:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>pce inflation data that came in slightly above expectations. At

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>what point does that get people's attention? At what point

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>do central bankers start caring about the inflation rate again?

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.679
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think we saw, for example, in Q one

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 6>of this year, they really cared a lot. Everyone was

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 6>gearing up for them to start cutting in the beginning

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 6>of the year, and then Q one data were strong

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.959
<v Speaker 6>surprise to the upside, and they pushed off the rate

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 6>cuts obviously until September. So I think it needs two things. One,

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 6>a couple more months of upside surprises, because we really

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 6>have had things come down. You'll remember Chris Waller from

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 6>the FED. So the reason he went for fifty basis

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 6>points instead of twenty five was because inflation data had

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 6>surprised them to the upside. So a month or two

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 6>to the upside isn't going to change the fundamentals. And

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 6>then he needed to be compositionally. The stuff that we

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 6>know has a lot of inertia, like housing inflation that

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 6>sort of wobbled for a little while, it wasn't clear,

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 6>and then it came down again. And I think as

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 6>long as those really core pieces no pun intended on inflation,

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 6>as long as there's really central parts of inflation keep

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 6>trending down, then I think they're going to feel comfortable.

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 5>Most voices on the FMC said they didn't want to

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 5>see to cherry in the labor market.

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 4>That was part of their reasons.

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 6>Mission accomplished.

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 5>Right, Seriously, what do they come out and say in

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 5>terms of the assessment of the labor market on Thursday.

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 6>I think you're going to see words along the lines

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 6>of solid, robust, healthy. The unemployment rate is four point

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 6>two percent, so it's up off of the lows we

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 6>had had an unemployment rate that was around three and

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 6>a half percent. So I think you have to be

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 6>able to say that there's been some cooling. If you

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 6>look at the job openings data from where it was

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 6>when the labor mark was tight tightest, you have to

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 6>say there's been some cooling. So I think in that regard,

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 6>you know they're fine. The pendulum had swung a bit

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.719
<v Speaker 6>too far. People got a little bit too breathless over

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 6>a couple of week months of jobs data. We're not deteriorating.

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 5>Let's talk about the other big event next week, and

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 5>that's the election. You're spending a lot of time talking

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 5>to clients and something that was interesting in your notes

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 5>is there seems to be differential for clients that are

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 5>in the United States and those abroad, and what is

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 5>that centering around.

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 6>So I think one of the key parts is tariffs. Right,

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 6>the elections going to have, from a top down macro perspective,

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 6>three key policy implications tariffs, immigration, and fiscal policy. And

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:13.199
<v Speaker 6>to a person, when I'm oversees all investors are convinced

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 6>former President Trump, if re elected, will go back to

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 6>putting in tariffs. And there's just no doubt in their mind.

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 6>I think there's a bit more debate and difference of

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 6>opinion on this side of the Atlantic, people who think

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 6>either oh, well, it's going to be a negotiating tactic,

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 6>or if in fact he announces it and it ends

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 6>up being bad for the market, for the economy, then

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 6>it won't come through. So I think that's an interesting

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 6>dichotomy of views.

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.599
<v Speaker 2>You've got to work out who wins. You've got to

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 2>work out the make up the division of government, if

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>the risk one, if there's a sweep. If it's not

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>a sweep, then you've got to work out whether the

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 2>promise becomes reality once you've got there. Okay, let's just

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 2>deal with this. If you take everything that's been said

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>on the campaign trail, a stagflation reproposal from the Trump side,

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 2>is that how you see things at more con Stanley.

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, we were to literally take everything that's been said.

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 6>Let's just deal with tariffs that we were talking about before.

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 6>If you had in January sixty percent tariffs on everything

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 6>imported from China, ten percent tariffs imported from everything around

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 6>the world, I think that pushes up inflation, and that

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 6>probably happens first the numbers we've calculated are in the

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 6>nine tenths of a percentage point kind of boost, but

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 6>the dragged to growth could be as much as one

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 6>and a half percent. I mean, I think it really

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 6>is important, and that ignores the immigration side of things.

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 6>The reason we had three plus percent growth for a

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 6>year year and a half and inflation continuing to fall

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 6>is because we've had this big ad to the labor force.

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>How different is the Harris proposal as things stand when

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 2>you go through that big eighty two page document on

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the website, eighty two pages long, when you go through that,

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 2>how different is the proposal?

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 6>Well, I mean, I think again, going back to teriffs

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.119
<v Speaker 6>as an example, I look at what the Biden administration

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 6>has done. They put tariffs on electric vehicles coming in

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 6>from China. Boy, that's almost entirely rhetorical, right. There aren't

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 6>that many electric vehicles that have been imported in the

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 6>United States from China, so it's not have anywhere near

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 6>the same effect. We can look back to twenty eighteen

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 6>twenty nineteen and see the hit to industrial production industrial

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 6>output from that wave of tariffs. I think there's a

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 6>pretty meaningful difference.

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Markt anticipants a running around saying not a big deal,

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.559
<v Speaker 2>We'll work through this. Stocks go up up into the right.

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 2>That's what the chat always looks like for a long time.

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you think this does have the potential to really

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 2>redefine things years out this election? Do you think it's

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>not important?

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 6>I do think so. I do think so. The rejiggering

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 6>of the global supply chain, the rejiggering of global economic interactions,

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 6>that's real. That's been going on for some time. It

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 6>got accelerated with tariffs. I think this another round of tariffs,

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 6>another trade war, could in fact accelerate the rejiggering in

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 6>ways that maybe we can't fully anticipate.

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Seth, it's got to see you as always, Thank you, sir.

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Good luck over the next week. Seth campens there of

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>more ca and Stantley going into payrolls tomorrow, jumping in

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 2>the seat. Lindsay Rose, I've goma sex asset management. Let's

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>good to see you.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Good to see you.

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Got to start with this economic data. Is there anything

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 2>not to like? Jobis claims GDP looks pretty.

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 7>Good, looks good, looks fine, looks quiet. I think that's

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 7>something that's a big relief right now. There is a

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 7>lot of volatility priced into the market. If you look

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 7>at the move index, which is looking at radevall over October,

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 7>it's gone, like you were saying, top to the right.

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 7>For equities, it has made a move for sure in October.

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 7>This is a good day of quiet. I think the

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 7>event will actually be month end at the end of

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 7>the day, not the data this morning wet me through.

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 7>Why so, there's actually going to be a pretty decent rebalancing.

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 7>So if you think about how bonds have performed in

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 7>October versus what's gone on with equities, you want to

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 7>shift your portfolio given the outperformance and equities you have

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 7>the normal month end extension, which happens always with indices

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 7>in the bond market, so there has to be kind

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 7>of this natural buying of duration. But there's going to

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 7>be this additional, much bigger thing of asset allocation at

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 7>equities into bonds.

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>So are you saying that essentially this is noise and

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>it's the technical unders that really will drive yields lower

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 1>regardless of what happens with all of these different events

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>next week.

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 7>Well, today's story is going to be the month end story.

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 7>The things that happen over the next week are actually

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 7>big beside from the data prints, we've got auctions, we've

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 7>got threes, we've got the bond, we have obviously the election,

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 7>and then we lead up to f OMC. So not

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 7>necessarily that yields are going to go lower for the

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 7>rest of the week. I think we're in a moment

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 7>of a lot of volatility between now and then. But

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 7>today's movement, I think is really month end.

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you see a shift in the narrative though right now?

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Or people have just been underestimating how strong this economy is,

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and that has been the theme again and again and

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>yet again here as we wait for potentially weakness that

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>may not show up tomorrow in the jobs report. Is

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 1>there a sense that there could be a reacceleration in

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>inflation in a more meaningful way? Is that starting to

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>come back to the table and the discussions that you're having.

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and that's been a big explanation for what's happened

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 7>with yields. I mean, the amazing thing is the FED

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 7>cut fifty basis points and we're now six d basis

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 7>for one's higher across the curve. That is pretty tremendous,

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.719
<v Speaker 7>And a big part of that is a concern about

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 7>inflation because growth just is that good. But I think

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 7>on a going forward, we've got a lot of noise

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 7>that's going to happen in the next week, but things

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 7>are going to calm down and I think we'll have

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 7>a lot more certainty. And the way we actually are

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 7>talking with clients right now is that you've got a

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 7>huge opportunity with this move up in yields. The economy

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 7>is good. The FED has the power to do what

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 7>it needs to do. And where we were a month

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 7>ago was much lower yielts or a little bit past that,

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 7>earlier than September eighteenth, earlier than the cut was. You're

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 7>waiting on the FED to see if they are going

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.040
<v Speaker 7>to go and how much they're going to go. Well,

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 7>now you actually have an entry point of higher yields

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 7>and you know that the Fed's going that's a home

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 7>run and this is a great opportunity to be in

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 7>fixed income.

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 5>Is there a chance they skip though and push this

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 5>decision to November December.

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 7>There's always some probability around skip, but we think the

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 7>conversation around skip is really something of twenty twenty five.

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.399
<v Speaker 7>We feel pretty good that the Fed's going to go

0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 7>twenty five next week. They're going to go twenty five

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 7>again in December. That puts them in a really good spot.

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 7>They've done some hard work at chopping some wood there

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.119
<v Speaker 7>of one hundred basis points. Then they can pause and

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:09.160
<v Speaker 7>survey what's going on.

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 5>They have to pause, right because policy in twent twenty five.

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 5>Does anyone have any idea what that's going to look like?

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 4>We do not know right now.

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 7>I think you're absolutely right, but they will start to

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.879
<v Speaker 7>have an inclination. We'll obviously know a lot more. We

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 7>may not know an election day who's actually one and

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 7>how everything else shakes out, but we'll know pretty soon

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 7>and what those policies do look like. It's going to

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.719
<v Speaker 7>take time, though, to your point, to implement them. And

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 7>so for us right now, I think a lot of

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.679
<v Speaker 7>people want to talk about how do you trade the election?

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 7>It's not about trading the election, right It's about where

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 7>do you want to be from a long term portfolio allocation.

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 7>For us, we think it's really important from a strategic

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 7>value perspective to get bonds into your portfolio, and we

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 7>think there's no time like the present.

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:48.679
<v Speaker 2>So treasury is a big pace of that. Given the

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 2>rise we've seen in yodes across the curve by about

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.639
<v Speaker 2>fifty basis points. How YOD spreads a super time on

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>a historical basis two seventy six. Right now, how do

0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 2>you frame that for clients at the moment? What's the

0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 2>opportunity look like? In coporate credit and.

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 4>A corporate credit is tight.

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 7>But I think what's so amazing right now is that

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 7>you've got a ton of volatility in the rates market.

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 7>We've had no volatility in the credit market. So what's

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 7>behind that? So we start to unpack it. What's behind

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 7>that is there's not a recession. Balance sheets are strong.

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 7>Management companies are doing the right thing. But when you

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 7>go underneath the hood of the car and look at

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.880
<v Speaker 7>what's happening in high yield, something that's flagging for us

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 7>is just how well Triple cs so the lowest of

0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 7>low in high yield have performed on the past month.

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 7>That to us is a little bit of a complacency indicator.

0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 7>So not all those companies make sense, not all those

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 7>balance sheets make sense, and it has been off to

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.520
<v Speaker 7>the races for Triple C's. That for US says this

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 7>is really important to have an active manager in this

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 7>environment because yes, maybe Triple c's did well this month.

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 7>Long term, there are a lot of companies there that

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:49.439
<v Speaker 7>aren't going to do well, and you want to make

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 7>sure you're in the right spot.

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 2>How were you navigating? What are the right spots? So

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 2>imagine there's an uping quality bias. What are the right

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.360
<v Speaker 2>spots right now? In corporate America?

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.360
<v Speaker 7>Right for us, it's really kind of a curve thing

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 7>and a quality thing. We've spoken before about like the

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.640
<v Speaker 7>front end of the corporate curve. We think that that's

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:05.200
<v Speaker 7>going to do a lot better than the back end.

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 7>So that's how we're positioned in terms of maturities, and

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 7>then we are down in quality and investment grade. Triple

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 7>B companies are doing all the right things to stay

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 7>investment grade. They don't want to be in high yield.

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.720
<v Speaker 7>And then in high yield we're up in quality in

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.159
<v Speaker 7>those double b's and single bees and specific names that

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 7>we like.

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Do you expect more tech related issueans coming into the

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 1>fore not necessarily tied to tech, but tied to some

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.919
<v Speaker 1>of the investments in the infrastructure around them that you

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:32.760
<v Speaker 1>expect them and they're talking about having.

0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.439
<v Speaker 7>To make Yeah, there's definitely going to be CAPEX and

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 7>it's interesting you bring up the capex expenditures on tech

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 7>that is actually back to areas of corporate credit we

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 7>have to think about and be more cautious on, one

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.360
<v Speaker 7>of which is utilities. When it comes to spending, that's

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 7>a spend we're actually really concerned about in terms of

0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 7>the capex that's needed for going green. So that kind

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.359
<v Speaker 7>of the drivers of who needs to spend and for

0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 7>what and are they going to be worthwhile projects or

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.160
<v Speaker 7>are they really just wanting to be on a drain

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.119
<v Speaker 7>in regulatory that really guides the sectors that we like

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 7>and those that we stay away from.

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a fascinating sector right now, that's for sure. Lindsay.
