Now, Neil, what does this signal for Chairman 12 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: poulll get going. 13 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: That's what it says, go fifty with the promise to 14 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: do more as much as necessary to stabilize labor market conditions. 15 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 4: So again, Neil, I mean, and you think about these 16 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 4: numbers and the revisions. As Tom was just summarizing here, 17 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 4: the labor market, I guess it kind of falls into 18 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 4: what we were just saying many minutes ago, not nearly 19 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 4: as strong as people think it is. 20 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: No, I mean, the three month trend on non farm 21 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 3: private perils is running below one hundred thousand. I mean, 22 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: that's not a good number. You know, that's barely break even, 23 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 3: and I think it's arguably actually worse than that because 24 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: one of the reasons why the number even looked as 25 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: good as it did is because we saw an uptake 26 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: in construction employment among I think civil engineer contractors, and 27 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: so that's not going to last because everything we know 28 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: about construction right now is that units under constructure are 29 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: under constructure collapse, and so why are we hiring all 30 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: these people to build one exactly? That implies a argent 31 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: squeeze for builders, which I don't think they can tolerate 32 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 3: right now. So I think it's the goods producing side. 33 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 3: I mean Tom mentioned manufacturing. I think that's notable because 34 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: a lot of people were thinking maybe you'd see some 35 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: uptake and manufacturer because of the unwind of the retooling, 36 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: it just didn't happen. Right on the good side of 37 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: the economy's week, cyclically sensitive industries are sluggish, and you know, 38 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: this is all about the FED trying to create a 39 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 3: handoff from income le growth to credit led growth. That's 40 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: what this is about. So they need to keep cutting 41 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: until the credit sensitive areas of the economy. 42 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: Turn joining us worldwide, Neil Dutta, we are commercial free 43 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: to the nine o'clock hour. Claudia sam Mark Zandi will 44 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: join in a moment. Ben Ladler will join us on 45 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: the equity market reaction in the view forward here Later 46 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: in these twenty innutes, futures at negative seventeen, the vix's 47 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: A twenty two level comes in nicely twenty point seventy six. 48 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: Major bond market adjustments make it eight basis points. Two 49 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: year yield three point sixty six thirty year bond well 50 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: under four percent, three point nine eight percent, ten year 51 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: yield three point sixty seven percent. Neil, I want you 52 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: to frame out for us what inflation will do given 53 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: a depressed GDP in the job market, moving the second 54 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: derivative here is moving to a worser space. What does 55 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: inflation then do further disinflation I mean absolently, I think so. 56 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: I mean if you look at core goods, non housing services, 57 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: and housing rents, I mean those are those are the 58 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: three ways to slice the inflation data. The entire shortfall 59 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: relative to the FEDS target is in housing rents, which 60 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: we know will continue to normalize. Given the lagged you know, 61 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: sort of nature of that indicator relative to market based rents. 62 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: Everything else is basically normalized. So you know, again, I mean, 63 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: what's the upside risk our inflation if growth is running 64 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: below potential and the momentum under the unemployment rate is higher. 65 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of it's kind of I mean, 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: unit labor costs are running basically flat for the last year, 67 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 3: so there's no more of an inflationary impulse coming out 68 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: of the job market. That story is completely over, and 69 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 3: the Fed continues to run a very very restricted policy stance. 70 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 4: Well, Paul, get one more in here and Neil, and 71 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 4: you know, the unemployment rate, just for those that are 72 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 4: going to be watching the headlines, stay steady at four 73 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: point two percent here, right in line with expectations. What 74 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: does the FED think about an unemployment rate of four 75 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 4: point two percent? Do you think? 76 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: I don't think they should think about an unemployment rate 77 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: of four point two percent. I think they should think 78 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: about what's gone on over the last six months, which 79 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: is what's gone out. 80 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: That's absolutely Neildudda, I know you got a publish will 81 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: feature that out on Twitter. Neil Dudda with Ren Mack 82 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: will publish and we thank him for careful market economic analysis. 83 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: So now bring you Claudius. I'm chief Economists, New Century 84 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: Advisors and doctor Mark Zandi, chief economists at Moody's. We 85 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: had them on here, oh thirty or sixty days ago, 86 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: can't remember. It was just lights out, great, great analysis, Claudia. 87 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: I want to get this out of the way so 88 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: we can move on to the real Claudia, Sam, I'm 89 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: sick of the palm recession. Pinata, can you just give 90 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: us an update without tire and feathering your reputation? Are 91 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: we close to a recession? Doctor Sam? 92 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 5: So the increase that unemployment rate is in a range 93 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 5: where we have historically been in recessions, right, But that's 94 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 5: a history, that's a past. We're not in a recession 95 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 5: right now. But we do have a weakening labor market, right, 96 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 5: So that's the important takeaway. But like, not a recession 97 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 5: right now, but a risk, always risk. 98 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: And what I remember from two thousand and eight is 99 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: a Zandy rule. There's a Psalm rule, but there's also 100 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: the Zandy rule, which is to be optimistic about America. 101 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 2: Mark Zandy. If we get the deck of cards I 102 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: hear from Neil and others in you frankly at Moody's 103 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 2: as well. Can corporations a just and sustain off of 104 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: a lower nominal GDP decent revenue and decent earnings or 105 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: do you just suggest everything goes. 106 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 6: Down, Tom, I think they're doing just fine. I mean, 107 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 6: looking at corporate earnings, they feel pretty good. I mean, 108 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 6: through Q two of twenty twenty four, double digit ear 109 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 6: ear growth, and you know, expectations of analysts always are 110 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 6: on the high side, but they're still pretty good as well. 111 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 6: So I think the economy is doing fine and producing 112 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 6: enough enough revenue growth to keep profitability going strong. So yeah, 113 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 6: I'm not worried about that. And you know, just broadly, yeah, 114 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 6: you know, I'm all on board with the view that 115 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 6: the BET should be cutting rates and normalizing them very quickly. 116 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 6: But today's report I thought pretty much down the strike zone. 117 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the kind of right underlying job 118 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 6: growth is one hundred one hundred and fifty K that's 119 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 6: kind of where you want it. Four point two percent unemployment, 120 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 6: that's kind of where you want it. You saw a 121 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 6: tick up an hour's work per week, that's, you know, 122 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 6: feels pretty good. Wage growth is almost exactly where you 123 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 6: want it. I mean, yeah, you can put airs, but 124 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 6: come on, what are we gonna say this? This is 125 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 6: a good report, This was a This felt like a 126 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 6: really good report to me. 127 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 4: Is it to the point there marked where the FED 128 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: can stay at twenty five basis points or is this 129 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 4: something that some are suggesting may push them to a 130 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 4: fifty basis point cut in September. 131 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's twenty five. I mean, I would 132 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 6: expect the FED to cut fifty only in emergency if 133 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 6: you know, markets are really evaporating or there really was 134 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 6: some serious deterioration in the economy, job market, But I 135 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 6: don't see any of that, So I think it's a 136 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 6: cooler point. And there's you know, I think there's good 137 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 6: arguments to cut and cut in a consistent way, but 138 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 6: I don't think we need to dramatically cut all at once, 139 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 6: because there's a lot of uncertainty as to reasonable uncertainty 140 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 6: as to you know, where the FED should be going here. 141 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 6: What is the so called equal riom federal funds right? 142 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 6: What's the rate where policy is either supporting or restraining growth? 143 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 6: That is very uncertain, and I think given that, I'd 144 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 6: go cautiously unless push to do otherwise, and in this report, 145 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 6: I don't see any reason to feel like they have 146 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 6: to move very quickly. 147 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 4: Here, Claudia. Over the weekend, you'll be at some fancy 148 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: cocktail party and somebody's can come up to you and say, hey, Claudia, 149 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 4: how's the US labor market. What's your response? 150 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 5: It's not headed in the right direction. This is the 151 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 5: thing I am most concerned about. Again, just you know, 152 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 5: the numbers, like the numbers themselves. Okay, fine, it's just 153 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 5: things have been slowing and we can and not because 154 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 5: I am you know, hair on fire, that are recessions 155 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 5: around the corner. I'm really concerned that we're losing a 156 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 5: slipping away of a really good labor market. And we 157 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 5: need this as good as it gets and there should 158 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 5: be nothing weaker than what it takes the get inflation down. 159 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 5: And we are like the train is still moving and 160 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 5: is not in the right direction. 161 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 2: I mean to both of you, and then folks, we've 162 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: got huge academic caliber here. Mark, I'm gonna go to 163 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 2: you first, and then Claudia the same question the ECB 164 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: is trying to teach us about being non measured. Are 165 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: we slaves? Mark Sandy to a green spanny and measured approach. Careful, careful, careful. 166 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: Why can't we go X beeps or why beeps or 167 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 2: Z beeps and see what happens? Why can't we do that? 168 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: Mark Sandy, Well, I. 169 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 6: Don't know Tom that you need to. I mean, if 170 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 6: the you know, the labor market was falling apart, yeah, absolutely, 171 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 6: If you know financial system was in turmoil, yeah, i'd 172 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 6: move quit more quickly. But you know the economies, it's 173 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 6: throttling back. But that's exactly what you'd want to see, 174 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 6: to throttle back it for, to throttle back here it's 175 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 6: been growing too strongly and it's kind of coming right 176 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 6: into where you want it, and no reason to to 177 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 6: move quickly otherwise. And again I keep going back to 178 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 6: I don't think anyone knows reasonably so where we're headed here. 179 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 6: You know, it feels like it feels like the equilbrium 180 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 6: rate is higher than it has been typically and it's moving, 181 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 6: so you know, why not go cautiously? And you know, 182 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 6: if things start to really deteriorate, if you know, we do, 183 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 6: you start to see really significant job loss or or 184 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 6: even very weak job growth. Hey, one other quick point 185 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 6: I wanted to make you know, the August data is 186 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 6: always weak. You know, we get very low response rates, 187 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 6: initial response rates in the month of August. I think 188 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 6: for obvious reasons, people are on vacation, and we always 189 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 6: get an initial print that's on the sauce side. And 190 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 6: almost invariably, if you cast me back a year from now, 191 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 6: we're going to be talking about upward revisions to the data. 192 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 6: So you know, you just have to take that into consideration. 193 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: Claudia, I got a screen month moving average of one 194 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen thousand, three hundred and thirty three one 195 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: one three three three. I'm sorry, but that's way below 196 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: anything I've seen as a normal rate of unemployment if 197 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: you take this free mouth moving average. Jason Furman will 198 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 2: help out on this at Harvard. I'm sorry, Claudia, is 199 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 2: measured in place or is this a fed that's got 200 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: to go ad hoc forward? 201 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 5: Well, I think again, is like looking at how the 202 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 5: variables are changing. The unemployment rate has been rising, Yes, 203 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 5: it is still relatively low historically. We also have an 204 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 5: older workforce. Four point three percent is not that far 205 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 5: from and experienced and esteemed right, and so there's no 206 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,479 Speaker 5: magic number with the unemployment rate it's watching the dynamics, 207 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 5: it's watching the change and knowing that once that changes 208 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 5: in place. The FED has been trying for two years 209 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 5: to cool off the labor market. That's why the funds 210 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 5: rate is at five percent and other types of demand. Right, so, yes, 211 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 5: things are cooling off, and now it's like, okay, now 212 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 5: we need to we need to turn that around. We 213 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 5: don't need that. I think that changes everything. 214 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: Wonder will Zamon Sandy with us right now? They move 215 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: the market higher? Futures negative thirty now negative twelve deterioration 216 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: and the Sweeney yield two year yield from negative seven 217 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: basis points down to negative nine. Those levels three sixty five, 218 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: two year, three sixty eight, ten year, thirty year bond 219 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: hunt or four percent? Paul you home shopping this weekend? 220 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: I might be absolutely red headline crossing the Bloomberg terminal. 221 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 4: Traders pricing fifty percent chance of half point FED cut 222 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 4: this month, crossing the Bloomberg terminal, Mark Sandy. Given the 223 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 4: labor outlook here in some of the data we got today, 224 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 4: as it relates to total payrolls and wages, what's your 225 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 4: view of the US consumer here? How healthy or how 226 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 4: at risk is the US consumer. 227 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 6: I think in aggregate, you know, looking across all Americans, 228 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 6: they're continue to do their part. They're hanging tough. I mean, 229 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 6: the train is being driven by folks in the top 230 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 6: part of the income distribution. And you know, I don't know, 231 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 6: I don't think it's hyperperctly, but their financial situation is 232 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 6: probably is it as it's ever been. You know, got 233 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 6: a job, the strong, real wage gains, they own stocks, 234 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 6: stocks or near record high zone home home vows or 235 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 6: near record highs. If they've got any debt at all, 236 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 6: it's a thirty or fifteen year or fixed rate mortgage 237 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 6: locked in And seems like everyone I talked to us 238 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 6: mortgae is it two and a half or three percent 239 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 6: kind of locked in? So I and they get and 240 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 6: in my by my calculation, they still have some excess 241 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 6: cash that they build up during the pandemic when they 242 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 6: couldn't spend that they're spending down now. So I think 243 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 6: they're fine. I do think the soft spot, obviously is 244 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 6: lower income households. They clearly are struggling. You know, they 245 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 6: got nailed by the high inflation. They took on a 246 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 6: lot of debt to supplement their income, to maintain their 247 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 6: purchasing power. And it's one thing when rates are low, 248 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 6: but when rates are really high. They mean, the credit 249 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 6: card RATEED is twenty two percent, a record high. That's 250 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 6: very painful. They don't own stocks, they don't own a home. 251 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 6: They rent, so you know, very different kind of perspectives. 252 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 6: But you know, at the end of the day, it's 253 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 6: the folks in the top middle parts of the distribution 254 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 6: that critical here. 255 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I can't keep up. Did I tried to 256 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: get John Williams on the show, Claudias, Mark Sandy, John Williams. 257 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: That would have been good. New York Fed President John 258 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: Williams says, now appropriate to lower FED funds rate, Claudia, 259 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: when you were studying this at Michigan, this this this 260 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: ex post lag Is this unusual the way our FED 261 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: is acting. 262 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 5: Yes, particularly in the way monetary policy is quote unquote 263 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 5: supposed to be done like in the theories, right, but 264 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 5: that's a very clean, not realistic state. I understand why 265 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 5: the FED when tools start breaking down and data don't 266 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 5: make as much sense, then you kind of you, you know, 267 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 5: crawl your way along and you want evidence. I think 268 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 5: this FED did lean into a very FED like tendency 269 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 5: of being super super cautious, and they have been kind 270 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 5: of greedy in terms of how much data they wanted 271 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 5: on inflation. And if I had to hear so many times, 272 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 5: we have the luxury time because the labor market is 273 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 5: so strong, it's like, well, well guess what, it actually wasn't 274 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 5: as strong, and so there's a cost. They took time 275 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 5: to get comfortable with inflation, but that probably means they 276 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 5: do not have time. 277 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 7: To get right. 278 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 5: Is the labor market really weak and like they may 279 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 5: need to recalibrate some and get going I think would 280 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 5: be the appropriate But this is really outside of their playbook. 281 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 5: So I understand why this is a hard case to make. 282 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: Doctor Xandy, your opiniata for the Gloom Crew, I mean 283 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: seven eight oh nine, you said, everybody shut up, We're 284 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 2: going to fix this Zandy pandemic. Everybody shut up, We're 285 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: going to fix this. Give us an optimistic touch here 286 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 2: on how America will clear these traumas post pandemic. China 287 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: is slowing down, Claudius Sam's cats are miserable. Mark Zandy, 288 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: just as directly as you can give us. I need 289 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: some Zandy optimism now, or I can't get through the weekend. 290 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 6: Early I've got that reputation. I didn't know that that optimistic. 291 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 6: Well look, uh, just look at the numbers. I mean, 292 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 6: top four point two percent unemployment. I mean, okay, maybe 293 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 6: be nicer if it were four I'm I'm on board 294 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 6: with that. I mean, it's maybe on the soft side 295 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 6: of one point four point two percent unemployment. We're creating 296 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 6: a lot of jobs across lots of different industries and 297 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 6: have been for you know, quite some time. Inflation that's 298 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 6: back in the bottle almost no matter how you measure it. 299 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 6: So you know, we're growing at a potential. And by 300 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 6: the way, here's here's the thing that's really you know, 301 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 6: makes me encouraged. The economy's potential is very strong. I mean, 302 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 6: we're seeing a lot of labor force growth. That's one 303 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 6: of the that's the key reason why unemployment is not 304 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 6: tired here over the past year. That goes to immigration, 305 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 6: and you know, there's a lot of costs there, but 306 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 6: the benefit, obviously is the strong labor force grows. And 307 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 6: look at those productivity growth numbers, and you know, I 308 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 6: mean it's hard to argue that whether it's sustainable or not, 309 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 6: but it feels like there's a lot of good things 310 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 6: happening onunderneath all the business formation we're beginning. Since the 311 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 6: pandemic hit, it's probably reaping benefit. And this is all 312 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 6: before AI kind of kicks in. So you add of 313 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 6: all the productivity gains, you add in the labor force growth, 314 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 6: and that's a strong growing economy. And the FEDS trick 315 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 6: for the FED here is, you know, let the economy 316 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 6: take the foot off the brakes sufficiently to allow the 317 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 6: economy to grow it at its higher potential. That's a 318 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 6: very different issue or a problem. If demand we're evaporating, 319 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 6: that's not what's going on here. So you know, objectively, 320 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 6: take a step back and take a look around. This 321 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 6: economy is good. 322 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 2: Paul, one quick question to Claudia. Sign because futures just 323 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 2: went green, which is a signal. Go Ben Laidler, so 324 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: quickly here go to Claudia. And then we got to 325 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: drag Ben Laidler in here. 326 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,239 Speaker 4: Claudia, Sam, I mean again, how do you just when 327 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 4: you sit back, you've had a few minutes of the Digestie, 328 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 4: how's the Fed? How do you think they're going to 329 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 4: digest these numbers today? 330 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 5: I think the payroll numbers are going to be the concern. 331 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 5: And frankly, the piece of it that I found most 332 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 5: is concerning you are the revision the earlier revisions. Right, 333 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 5: that's the hiring rate has gotten too low of a place, 334 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 5: and we're seeing it in the job gains. And then 335 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 5: to see it, you know, July was actually even a 336 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 5: little worse than we thought on the job's number, and 337 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 5: so that I think that takes some pause. 338 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: She said, So I'm supposed to have dinner with Claudia 339 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 2: and Jackson Hole. You know what they served elk and 340 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 2: the health's food was venison. I mean there's no fish 341 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: or nothing. Claudia Sam, we got to go. Thank you 342 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: so much, Claudia Sam, just nailing these revisions. I want 343 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: to want to mention Anna Wong as well at Bloomberg 344 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: and Mark Zandi, thank you so much for being where 345 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 2: this really appreciate from Moody's his optimism on the American 346 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 2: economic experiment. He is the bull strategist who has nailed 347 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: the trip from twenty eighteen. From Christmas Eve of twenty eighteen, 348 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: Ben Ladler joins us right now in this market, Ben Laidler, 349 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 2: are you going to cash? No? 350 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 8: I just killed my keyboard. 351 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: Here. 352 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 8: No, I think this is a I think we're at 353 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 8: the early innings of a bull market. I think the 354 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 8: FED cut, which is just around the corner and which 355 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 8: we're all sort of naval gazing over, I think is 356 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 8: the trigger for this bull market to broaden, both by 357 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 8: sector and bi geography. I think the data today probably 358 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 8: a little bit weaker than you know, bulls like I 359 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 8: would have liked, and it's probably a recipe for a 360 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 8: little bit more uncertainty. But bottom line, I don't think 361 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 8: it really changes the trajectory. I mean, this is an 362 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 8: economy that is slowing. We want it to slow to 363 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 8: pull forward those rate cuts. FED has a lot of 364 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 8: room to cut here. I think that will stabilize the 365 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 8: US economy, and I think that would be very, very 366 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 8: bullish for the rest of the world. 367 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: He's from the United Kingdom. We should properly introduce some 368 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 2: Ben Ladler britesco PBI with us right now. 369 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 4: Paul, the same question I asked that Claudia some Ben is, 370 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 4: how do you think the Federal Reserve will digest this 371 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 4: labor data today? 372 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, so it's probably a little bit weaker than you know, 373 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 8: I would have liked, and probably that they would have liked. Mean, 374 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 8: I guess we'd all be looking for that sort of 375 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 8: goldilocks number that last month was was an aberration. Last 376 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 8: month probably wasn't an aberration, even though you know the 377 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 8: numbers were revised down a little bit today, I think 378 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 8: they're probably leaning a little bit more towards fifty. But 379 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 8: I think, bottom line, you know, they're going to get started. 380 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 8: Inflation break evens are at two percent. They've a lot 381 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 8: of room to cut here if they feel that they need. 382 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 8: I would like to see them get started, and I 383 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 8: think the chances a fifty basis point cut probably increased 384 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 8: a little bit. But you know, I'm not sweating the 385 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 8: pace I think too much. I think, you know, there's 386 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 8: a lot of moving parts here. I think overall, this 387 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 8: is an economy which is which is slowing. But you know, 388 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 8: let's not lose some perspective here. I mean, this is 389 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 8: an economy that we just had a three percent inflation 390 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 8: GDP print last you know, last quarter, that's nearly double 391 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 8: potential GDP unemployment just over four percent. I mean, we're 392 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 8: coming from the start point is a very good. 393 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 4: Place, giving that backdrop, ben given ef fact that we've 394 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 4: got ks likely coming down got through a pretty solid 395 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 4: earnings period in Q two. What are the sectors at 396 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 4: screenwall for you guys? 397 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 8: So, I think the biggest call right now is not 398 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 8: necessarily the direction of the market, which I think is 399 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 8: pretty well set and you know, up and to the right. 400 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 8: I think it's more about the sectors you own and 401 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 8: which parts of the world you own. I think this 402 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 8: is a broadening ball market. I think Tech's being a 403 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 8: great place to be. It's nothing wrong with Tech, but 404 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 8: I think you know the bits of the world and 405 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 8: the sectors that are much more sensitive to these interest 406 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 8: rate cuts which are coming. It's not the US and 407 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 8: it's not Tech, it's basically everybody else. All theres are 408 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 8: the bits of the market that we've forgotten about for 409 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 8: the last ten years. That's I think where you know 410 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 8: you should be kicking the ties on right now. 411 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 2: Ben, I don't have Apple in front of me, but 412 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 2: you were way out front twenty eighteen, twenty two, twenty three. 413 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: In all I'm here in Paul, you earn a lot 414 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: of death of big tech. I am Tayler, the Mag seven, 415 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: the Mag eight, including Berkshire. You still got to own them, right, Yeah? 416 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 8: I think so, you know the earning numbers are decelerating, 417 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 8: but that's still you know, no one else comes even close. 418 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 8: You've got these FORRTRESS balance sheets, You've got these huge 419 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 8: profit margins. You know, with all that, I can more 420 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 8: than justify you know, the valuations. You know, but we 421 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 8: all know that they're posting strong growth. You know, the 422 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 8: valuations are you know, already a premium numbers. That's not 423 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 8: I don't think where the surprise is going to come. 424 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 8: That's not where the sensitivity to low interest rates is 425 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 8: coming from. It's everybody else that has those shrivel profit margins, 426 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 8: that has those you know, depressed earnings expectations, who've just 427 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 8: come out of an earnings recession where valuations are forty 428 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 8: to fifty percent lower. That's where I think you're going 429 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 8: to get the bank for your buck in this sort 430 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 8: of broadening ball market and potential changing leadership. 431 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 2: Too short of visit. We got to get Ben Laylor 432 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: on again. Next time Tottenham wins, we'll get Ben labor on. 433 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 2: Ben Laylor, thank you so much. With Fordesco joining us now, 434 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 2: Denise Chism with really one of the most interesting jobs 435 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 2: at Fidelity Boston, Director of Quantitative Market Strategy and with 436 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 2: a legacy of quant and technical fidelity that the heritage 437 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 2: of what Denise Chism does is a big deal. Denise, 438 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 2: are we in a bull market? 439 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 9: Well, you just said it's grein So I think that 440 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 9: that's a good start. I mean, I think that that's 441 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 9: the question in terms of what the labor market actually 442 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 9: means to the overall stock market. And people are struggling 443 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 9: with the Fed's cutting interest rates? Is that necessarily a 444 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 9: bad thing? Half the time in history it has been 445 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 9: the Fed's cutting because they have to. But half the 446 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 9: time in history, the FED is cutting because they can. 447 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 9: And that's the part that I look at in terms 448 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 9: of the data is what is you ni about this 449 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 9: cycle and what is predictive about this cycle? And when 450 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 9: you look at bull markets and when you look at 451 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 9: the weakening of the labor market, in some ways, the 452 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 9: FED cutting doesn't really add much to market returns when 453 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 9: you roll all the data past nineteen sixty two, which 454 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 9: we might be focusing on the wrong metrick, But what 455 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 9: actually has mattered historically is earnings growth. 456 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: But Denise, what Peter Lynch didn't have to worry about 457 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 2: a pandemic? Do you have to adjust your work with 458 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 2: urine Timber, do you have to adjust your work because 459 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: you're coming out of a. 460 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 9: Pandemic always in the sense that there are no analogs 461 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 9: that can help you. So to your point, it is 462 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 9: always different this time, and there are a lot of 463 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 9: differences in the data. So the what you can do 464 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 9: is to study those differences to see if those differences 465 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 9: are predictive and to find out what those differences mean 466 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 9: to the overall stock market. Unemployment rate is actually a 467 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 9: great indicator to study because as much as we're all 468 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 9: laser focused on it, what you'll find is when you 469 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 9: look back in history, a rise in the unemployment rate 470 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 9: such that we've seen isn't necessarily bearish for the overall market. 471 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 9: In fact, some of the time, even when the stock 472 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 9: market's gone up, so some of that is recessionary fears. 473 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 9: But even when the stock market's gone up before it, 474 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 9: a rise in the unemployment rate hadn't been a problem 475 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 9: because some of that historically speaking, like the mid sixties 476 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 9: and the mid nineties, is driven by an increase in 477 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 9: labor supply. So the nuances in the data, the study 478 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 9: of history can actually help you identify the differences and 479 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 9: help you understand what is predictive on a go forward basis. 480 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: All right, we're speaking to Denise Chisolm, director of Quantitative 481 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 4: market Strategy Fidelity. Remember up in Boston time. We're now 482 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 4: in ninety six nine FM. Big signal up there so 483 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 4: far friends in New England. Denise, if I talk to 484 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 4: equity bulls here, they're telling me, I've got a pretty 485 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 4: solid earnings backdrop. I've got a FED that's about the 486 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 4: cut rates. That sounds pretty constructive. What are the black 487 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 4: boxes of the Fidelity quantitative group? What are they saying 488 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 4: these days? 489 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 9: Yeah, I will say I'm not a black box quant 490 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 9: so I'm notmatic by nature. As we just talked about, 491 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 9: it is always different, so I like to evaluate those differences. 492 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 9: And that's the part that's interesting about the FED cut. 493 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 9: I think that you hear a lot of strategists say, well, 494 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 9: this is a bullish thing because it's adding to accommodation, 495 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 9: or this is a bearerss thing because the last two 496 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 9: times the fed's been cutting, it's been because we've been 497 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 9: in a recession. So I think that the struggle around 498 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 9: that data is what is unique. And to me, what 499 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 9: is very unique this cycle is the elevated level of 500 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 9: the FED funds rate itself now above five with the 501 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 9: juxtaposition of inflation actually being below average or below three, 502 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 9: and that, as much as it sounds very restrictive in 503 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 9: terms of monetary policy, when you look at that, historically, 504 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 9: that's actually been a really good setup for the equity 505 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 9: market because the FED has the ability to. 506 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: Cut Okay, but what's the linkage here of the FED 507 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 2: to an equity account. I mean, let's say somebody owns 508 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: a few shares it will dan Off up at Fidelity. 509 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: What is the linkage here for a FED action now 510 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: to Danoff's contrafund. I don't get the linkage. 511 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 9: Well, there's not a big linkage. What I just said 512 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 9: was in some ways, when the FED is cutting interest rates, 513 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 9: your equity market returns will down off a side. Your 514 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 9: equity market returns run around the same average as when 515 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 9: the FED is hiking interest rates. So there's not a 516 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 9: big differentiation in terms of what's the value proposition to 517 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 9: own any given fund because of the FED. And I 518 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 9: think that that's the key factor that I want to 519 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 9: change the investor focus to all about the FED, all 520 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 9: about an indicator that really has provided very little signal 521 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 9: when you look historically because it's the why behind the 522 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 9: FED that matters. The parts of the data that can 523 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 9: help us understand that. Why are things like bank willingness 524 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 9: to lend, earnings growth, the acceleration and leading indicators, and 525 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 9: right now data can always change. They're actually pointing in 526 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 9: a fairly constructive direction. 527 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 2: Okay, Denise, thank you so much. Denise Schism joining us 528 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: in bost We continue strong. Stuart Kaiser joins US now 529 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: head of US Equity Trainings Strategy. It's City Group here 530 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: and the word to use coming into the studio is 531 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: it's not like early August. This time is confusing. Describe 532 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 2: our confusion, mister Kaiser, Yeah, good morning. 533 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 7: Look, I think you got the payroll print right in 534 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 7: the in the middle of the range, and that's probably 535 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 7: the most confusing outcome for equity markets. Is it low 536 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 7: enough for the FED to cut? Is it high enough 537 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 7: to believe the economy is still resilient? And if I'm 538 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 7: an equity investor, how do I kind of respond to 539 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 7: that unemployment rate? About flats? You didn't get a signal 540 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 7: there either, So I think equities are probably gonna take 541 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 7: their cue from the rag market at this point. And 542 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 7: you know, you guys were look at the warp before, 543 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 7: and you know, you know how much cut is priced 544 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 7: into there. The equities are probably gonna take pretty big 545 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 7: signal from because I think the data today was just 546 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 7: not as informative as it could have been. 547 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 4: So on your desk at the City Trading desk at 548 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 4: four ninety Greenwitch Avenue, Downtown Manhattan, what are they saying? 549 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 4: Are they are you guys taking positions, You're taking risk 550 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 4: for your clients, or maybe just waiting to get more 551 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 4: data to get more conviction one one way the other. 552 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 7: I think this week has largely been a sit on 553 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 7: your hands type of week and wait for the data 554 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 7: to come out. And I think that applies to the banks, 555 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 7: and I think that applies to clients as well. 556 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: You know, you had to sell off on Monday. 557 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 7: Maybe in a typical week you might have had a 558 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 7: little bit of a by the mentality. But I think 559 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 7: a lot of folks that how can I add risk 560 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 7: ahead of this event? 561 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 2: In your experience, If you get an Andrew Hollandhurst Market 562 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 2: where City Group's been outfront saying there's going to be 563 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 2: a rapidity to the rate cuts, the corporate world's assuaged 564 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 2: by that, I mean corporations are just given a new 565 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 2: lower rate regime, right, Yeah. 566 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 7: I think corporates would like it in terms of you know, 567 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 7: bounanceet management, refinancing, things of that nature. Equity markets will 568 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 7: not like it. I think if you have to cut 569 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 7: fifty because growth is slowing that rapidly, equity markets are 570 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 7: not going to get enough support from rates initially. Obviously, 571 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 7: eventually market will stabilize, but the initial reaction I think 572 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 7: to a fifty basis point cut would be Wow. 573 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: You know, they clearly believe that they're cut to the chase. Here. 574 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 2: It's the end of the year. Everybody's in a panic 575 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 2: to stay in place. Lloyd somewhere in the vicinity of 576 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: March thirty one, are we going to see strategists cutting 577 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 2: their s and p Outlook, I. 578 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 7: Don't think they're going to cut for this year. I think, 579 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 7: you know, what they do for twenty twenty five will 580 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 7: be pretty interesting. I mean, you know, twenty twenty four 581 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 7: is almost baked in the cake at this point. Earnings 582 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 7: been pretty solid, Equity markets are up mid double digits. 583 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 7: I think the question is going to be, if we 584 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 7: are decelerating from a growth perspective, what does that twenty 585 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 7: twenty five EPs number look like, and you could have 586 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 7: a little bit of a balancing act here right where 587 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 7: Ernie's brought this slowing a bit, but you're getting some 588 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 7: rate cuts, which their supporter for valuation, so it'll be 589 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 7: something for everything type out look. But to me, it's 590 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 7: the twenty twenty five EPs number. What does that look 591 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 7: like for next year will. 592 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 2: Be the key. 593 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 4: Tom Morgan Stanley's US economics research team is out with 594 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 4: the note here saying modest rebounding jaws easingcoming probably twenty 595 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 4: five bases points, So they're sticking with their twenty five 596 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 4: basis point four cast there at Morgan Stanley Stewart. Given that, 597 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 4: is this now going to be an earnings driven market? 598 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 4: Do you think is that kind of what's going to 599 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 4: be the primary determined going into next year? 600 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 7: I think early next year, I think the next couple 601 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 7: of weeks months are just gonna be very much macro driven. Okay, 602 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 7: we need to see what the Fed is gonna do. 603 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 7: We need to see if this slow down in the 604 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 7: job of data is real. We need to see, you know, 605 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 7: what kind of momentum we have to the upside of 606 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 7: the unemployment rate. So earnings will matter, but you know, 607 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 7: it's very hard for earnings to matter if the FED 608 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 7: is cutting fifty or if the labor market is printing, 609 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 7: let's say, sell one hundred k jobs. 610 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: Good Morning across the Nation ninety ninety one FM Boston, 611 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 2: Bloomberg eleven three or Flagshit Network here in New York. 612 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: Good Morning ninety two nine FM Boston. Thrilled that you're 613 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 2: with us. Thanks for the feedback. I'm gonna go to 614 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: three thirteen this morning. SPX futures cratered. We're up over 615 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 2: one point one percent now, Dow up to twenty, SPX 616 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: green up eighteen. Nastic lags a little bit. The Vics 617 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 2: from a twenty two handle. It's the stored Keiser derivative. 618 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 2: Paul Sweeney, We're into an eighteen point eighty six in 619 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 2: a stick three big figure. Move on the Vicks. 620 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 4: That's all you gotta know, absolutely, Tom Stewart, what sectors 621 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 4: look good to you guys at city these days? Given 622 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 4: we're in a pretty decent earnings environment, it looks like 623 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 4: we've got rates coming down. What sector screenwall for you guys. 624 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, a lot of that's going to have to 625 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 7: do with how the economic growth you know, kind of 626 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 7: evolves itself. I would say that, you know, if you 627 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 7: want to stay in the growth trade, the stuff that's 628 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 7: underperformed has kind of been more in healthcare on the 629 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 7: cyclical side. 630 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 4: I think with healthcare is underperformed, right, it has. 631 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 7: But I mean if you if you want to be 632 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 7: in growth but you're a little bit worried about Tech 633 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 7: risk award for instance, I think you know, healthcare will 634 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 7: be a second option there. I think there's a lot 635 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 7: of folks that are very positive of financials and banks 636 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 7: ahead of the election. The other sector, and I'm not 637 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 7: sure that we necessarily have a strong view on it, 638 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 7: is energy, which is lags so much but is very 639 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 7: much in that cyclical camp. So to me as a 640 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 7: house you know, as Tom mentioned, Andrew Holandhorst has a 641 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 7: recession back half of the year. So I think that 642 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 7: means you need to be relatively conservative in terms of 643 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 7: how you're allocating stuff. You know that puts you in 644 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 7: things I think like healthcare and staples and the like. 645 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 7: To me, the wildcard there is tech. If you look 646 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 7: at it fundamentally, you'd say this thing is defensive. If 647 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 7: you look at it from a positioning perspective, you'd say 648 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 7: there's a lot of embedded risks there and if you 649 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 7: saw what happened Monday, Monday positioning took over that trade. 650 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 7: So I think tech to me is the one that 651 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 7: has the most debate right now. 652 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 4: How about AI? 653 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 2: Is it AI? 654 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 6: Oh? 655 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? Over? Is that? We haven't mentioned it all week? 656 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 4: I know That's what I'm thinking of. Is it now? 657 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 4: Is that peaked a little bit? We kind of hit 658 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 4: post or peak and AI. 659 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 7: It does feel like that a bit, you know, just 660 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 7: in the sense of you saw broad come overnight traded 661 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 7: off and video traded off on earnings, You're kind of 662 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 7: waiting until early next year to see what the new 663 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 7: chip set out of a video does come on. 664 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 2: It's September thirty.

Because I do think sentiment 668 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 7: is shifted a bit. People are very hesitant to buy 669 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 7: the cappec spending right now, the people that are spending 670 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 7: capex on II. I think people are a little cautious 671 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 7: about and I think on the recipients which would be 672 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 7: broad comming to video. Primarily people are a little concerned about, 673 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 7: you know, the continued upside to revenue outlooks and where 674 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 7: the valuation is. So yes, in earning's going to be 675 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 7: a huge talking point. Whether those stocks respond will be interesting. 676 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 2: Is your trading desk like the show industry? I mean, 677 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 2: is that that nuts over its city group? Where? I mean, 678 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 2: are they throwing things at you? 679 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 7: I've never seen the show industry. I haven't had anything 680 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 7: thrown in me into a least twenty years, though I'm 681 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 7: a friendly guy. 682 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, how has a trading desk changed 683 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 2: when Paul Sweeney was taking them out to three hundred 684 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 2: dollars lunches? Yeah, thirty years ago. 685 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 7: It's a lot quieter than it used to be. Honestly, 686 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 7: like big news comes out, you don't hear people yelling. 687 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 7: You hear the ting ting ting of the computers, right, So, 688 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 7: because you're watching Bloomberg surveillance, of course, you know they 689 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 7: can't concentrate on the markets. 690 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 2: They yeah, well, you know that's the story of life. 691 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 6: You know. 692 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 2: I look Stewart here at this bull market, and I 693 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 2: mean we walked in your slit your wrists at five am. 694 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: Future is negative thirty we've done like a forty point 695 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 2: swing in SPX futures today. Is that the future? I mean, 696 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 2: is that what Q four lays out to be. 697 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 7: I think for the next couple of months of marks, 698 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 7: you'll be very, very sensitive and jumpy on any growth data. 699 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 7: I think we saw that on IM earlier this week. 700 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 7: To your point, you know, this was a very was 701 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 7: viewed as a very binary event. You know, if we 702 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 7: print above consensus, the market's going to recover because all 703 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 7: of this slow down, you know, fear was overdone. If 704 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 7: we print, you know, sell one hundred and twenty five k, 705 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:23,959 Speaker 7: it's re session around the corner. 706 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 2: We need to sell off. 707 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 7: So I think that what we got was something in between, 708 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 7: which is sort of stabilized markets, but not resolve the 709 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 7: confusion or sorted out the uncertainty. So that means the 710 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 7: next month or two incoming growth data, you know, much 711 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 7: more important that it's been for at least the last 712 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:38,959 Speaker 7: two years. 713 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 4: There you go, I mean, it's we're data dependenton but 714 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 4: it's not. 715 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 2: We're data depending I guess so. But the one common 716 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: theme I would suggest, as everyone agrees that fed's way 717 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 2: behind Yes, whether right or wrong, Stuart Kaiser, Thank you 718 00:35:52,960 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 2: so much for joining us today your daily look at 719 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 2: the front pages. 720 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 10: Lisa, all right, we're starting with TikTok. You know they 721 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 10: had that possible ban going out. Apparently it's losing American support, 722 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 10: So Bloomberg has the story out. 723 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: It's a survey from Pew Research. 724 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 10: It showed many Americans, well, they shifted their stance in 725 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 10: the past year and a half. So just thirty two 726 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 10: percent US adults. 727 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: Back that TikTok band. 728 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 10: That was compared to. 729 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,760 Speaker 1: Thirty eighty percent last fall. 730 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 10: And this is not kid, this is adults.

So it 732 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 10: didn't ask them why their opinion changed, because I was asking, well, 733 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 10: what's the difference, why are they why are they thinking different? 734 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 10: It didn't say why they changed. They did say that 735 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 10: it's divided along party lines. That's a difference there. 736 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 2: But uh, you use TikTok. 737 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 7: I do not. 738 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 2: Use TikTok. 739 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: Come only to follow my kid. 740 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 4: So you say, but I mean, who's I mean? Still, 741 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 4: the issue is it's owned by bike Dance, which is 742 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 4: a Chinese company, and so the risk of having US 743 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 4: consumer data owned by a Chinese company that's the risk 744 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 4: is it still with the government. Does the government thinking 745 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 4: about what to do? Is that kind of where we 746 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 4: are now? 747 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 10: That's what they have until January to basically sell the 748 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 10: app or face. 749 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 2: The band because that was signed. 750 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 4: That's a loss signed by President Biden. 751 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: So something that's going to happen. 752 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: Miamateur take is everybody's trying to be the new TikTok. 753 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 2: Everybody wants to short attention span see by kids little 754 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 2: you know, Instagram, all of them. 755 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: You can get lost in that frit you just keep 756 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: scrolling and scrambling. 757 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 2: Like talk Tom Sekunda about TikTok on the Bloomberg Professional service. 758 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 2: That would work out next. 759 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 10: To get them on Okay, this is from the Wall 760 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 10: Street Journal. There's been this battle of public versus private beaches. 761 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 10: This is along Florida's coastline. It's actually Walton County, twenty 762 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 10: six miles beautiful. 763 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: Beaches, right, but half the beach is private, so only 764 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: residents can do it. 765 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 10: So a lot of beach goers they have to do 766 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 10: these big ses that are put out. There's even security guards, 767 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 10: so if you're not part of the private beach, you have. 768 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: To stay out. 769 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 10: So the public beaches are now packed. This though has 770 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 10: been a law forever, like it's been around for the 771 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 10: long time. The reason why it's an issue now is 772 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 10: because it's become more crowded, more developed. 773 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 2: Is it state by state because some of the New 774 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 2: England climbs I've been and it's just understood it's private. 775 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 2: But then the great venture capitalist vinode Coosla had a 776 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 2: running battle in California for years exactly your kids walking 777 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 2: across this beach. 778 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 4: I know in California, having owned a home there for 779 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 4: a long time. All open, I mean, you know, dogs 780 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 4: are it's all completely open. New Jersey, right, you have 781 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 4: to have the badges. 782 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: I pay you to go on the beach in New Jersey. 783 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they say, oh, it's for the maintenance of 784 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 4: the beach and replenishment of the beach. 785 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't know. 786 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 2: So what's happening in Florida, New Jersey? 787 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 10: So because of that, in Florida, it's it's it's a 788 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 10: battle between you know, the residents and people who are visiting. 789 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: So now they want the law to change. But the 790 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: people that there's saying, hey, this is good. 791 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 4: Say the beaches on dustin Florida beautiful.
