Minutes from the fed's June meeting 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: revealed that officials were somewhat less united than their unanimous 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 2: decision had suggested. Some participants indicated that they favored a 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: quarter point rate increase, but they went along with the 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: move to leave policy unchanged. Those favoring high excited, tight 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: labor markets, and relatively few signs that inflation was slowing 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: slowing towards that goal of two percent. Now, traders are 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 2: betting that the FED will likely hike rates in the 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: meeting later this month. Heard from Evercore ISI founder Ed Hyman. 12 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 3: At this point, the one more is baked in the Kate. 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 3: I think anything from now is a mistake. They're just 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 3: creating a deeper recession or the more likelihood of a recession. 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 3: But at five and a quarter, with the banial at 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: three eightyretty much done and inflation slowing. 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: FED officials will get to analyze two key US economic 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: reports before the next decision.

Yellen's trip comes days after 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 4: China imposed restrictions on exporting two medals that are crucial 30 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 4: to key technology industries, and a mission comes exactly five 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 4: years after the Trump administration imposed tariffs on the first 32 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 4: wave of more than three hundred billion dollars worth of 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 4: goods from China.

Ali Baba's CEO Daniel Joan, 50 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: saying that digital economy has entered a new age with 51 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence sweeping the world this year, and that Ali 52 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Baba wants to help build Chijiong into a world class 53 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: digital economy cluster. There are not many details here on 54 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: what the plan would be other than to create a 55 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: better business environment. However, the agreement does show a degree 56 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: of official backing for Ali Baba's efforts, and that may 57 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: provide a little bit of a boost to investors. Sentiment. 58 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: On that front, the company is pushing back against the 59 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: perception that regulators were out to restrict Ali Baba's growth. 60 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: Brian Well Back in the United States, there are signs 61 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: of a big comeback in auto sales after the just 62 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: completed second quarter. That story from Bloomberg's Tom Busby. 63 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 6: After a few rough years, the auto industry is now back. 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 6: All the major automakers posting their June and second quarter 65 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 6: sales data this week, and so far, despite inflation and 66 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 6: higher sticker prices, blowout sales thanks to pent up demand 67 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 6: and dealership lots that are full again.

FOD is 73 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 6: that with its second quarter figures on Thursday, I'm Tom 74 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 6: Buzby Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. 75 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: Doug. I don't know if the auto market can serve 76 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: as a microcosm for what's happening with the consumer, but 77 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: you look at at loan rates, there be like six 78 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 2: to ten percent to buy a car, and it is 79 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: not stunting the demand. Look at these sales that we've 80 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: seen and if you look at the stock of you know, 81 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: everybody crows about what Tesla has done, but even General 82 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: Motors has gone from thirty two to thirty nine just 83 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: here in about the last month or so. So you're 84 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: talking more than a twenty percent gain. Let me just 85 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: get the exact gain for the last month. It is 86 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: over the last month up sixteen percent in the market. 87 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: So it shows you that there are parts of the economy, 88 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: maybe not manufacturing, but parts of the economy that are 89 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: working pretty well well. 90 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: And you didn't even mention the story on byd in China, right, 91 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: the incredible sales growth that company is seeing on the mainland, 92 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: which then kind of takes us to the visit of 93 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: Janet Yellen to Beijing. It's going to start a Thursday, 94 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: we know. I think we can agree, Brian that the 95 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: relations are frayed. I think the US and Europe as 96 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: well have both realized the vulnerabilities of the dependency that 97 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: the West is created in dealing with China. The question 98 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: now is how much decoupling is really possible. 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think finding common ground is easy 100 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 2: because the relationship has so many layers to it. But 101 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: how do you turn the aircraft carrier around? That is 102 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 2: going to be I would say nearly impossible. But you 103 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: get a sense that investors will appreciate the effort. It 104 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: won't be easy. But Yellen is pretty you know, she's 105 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: pretty good on this type of level. She's a pretty 106 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: good communicator. She's a bit like Leoha on the Chinese side, 107 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: you know, not exactly sharp elbow. 108 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: Interesting comment from David Loveinger today over TCW. He was saying, 109 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: it's to him at any rate, talking how little the 110 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: US and Chinese governments have been speaking at all levels, 111 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: and he kind of pointed to the fact that key 112 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: economic officials in both countries really don't know one another 113 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: all that. 114 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: Well. Yeah, absolutely, it ebbs and flows. It feels like 115 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: it needs to go into a period where it flows 116 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: a little bit. But anyway, very nice segue from the 117 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: car talk to the China talking. I'll have to be 118 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: on my toes to keep up with you today. All right, 119 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: now it's time for global news.

In an exclusive Bloomberg Radio 170 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 7: and television interview today, he says it prepares for the future. 171 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 10: The fact of the matter is, I do expect that 172 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 10: the economy will soften, and when you look at our 173 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 10: big drivers of revenue corporate business tax, personal income tax, 174 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 10: sales tax, we monitor those literally on a daily basis, 175 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 10: and we think we've got a big enough surplus and 176 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 10: enough latitude of this budget that we'll be able to 177 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 10: withstand a softness and frankly come out the other side 178 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 10: of that stronger than ever before. 179 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 7: Murphy also said he'll continue to participate in the fight 180 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 7: to get Washington, DC to do something about the salt 181 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 7: tax battle, saying it punishes New Jersey, New York and 182 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 7: California disappropriately.

Our 186 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 2: guest is Chuck Camello, President and CEO at Essex Financial Services. 187 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: Chuck in looking at the US economy, We've seen a 188 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 2: little bit of a change in the last month, particularly 189 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: as relates to the market. I just mentioned you probably 190 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: heard us chatting there, Doug and I about the auto 191 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 2: market GM up sixteen percent over the past month, the 192 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: queues only up four percent. Yet everybody all they're talking 193 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: about what a great first half it was, and there's 194 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. The NASDAK and the Nasdaq one 195 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: hundred have soared over the first half of the year. 196 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: But in the last month things have changed. Does that continue? 197 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, well, thank you so much for having me, and 198 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 11: I think that what you just described is what we've 199 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 11: been hearing and sort of seeing about this broadening of 200 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 11: the market where you know, obviously with NASDAK finishing the 201 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 11: first half up over thirty two percent, and the S 202 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 11: and P five hundred up you know, close to seventeen. 203 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 11: But you know, the equally way did S and P 204 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 11: five hundred was just up about a little over seven. 205 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 11: So I think what you're seeing over the past month, 206 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 11: especially also even in small caps, is starting to see 207 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 11: a more broadening of the market, which generally should be 208 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 11: a healthier thing looking into hopefully a good second half 209 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 11: of twenty twenty three. But there certainly are a lot 210 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 11: of headwinds and a lot of obstacles in the way, Chuck, I. 211 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 12: Mean, there was very little breadth in the markets. I 212 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 12: mean there's only five stocks which drove in there as 213 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 12: like one hundred to where it's got to this year, 214 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 12: So I mean, there's no point chasing this surely. Unlet's 215 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 12: I suppose you ignore those five. 216 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 11: I think you probably ignore those five at your own peril, 217 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 11: given you know their historical performances, and obviously they had 218 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 11: a really, really tough last year in twenty twenty two 219 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 11: and twenty twenty three, with you know, AI and everything 220 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 11: else you know, technology wise behind them. But true, I 221 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 11: think there's a lot of other areas you can allocate 222 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 11: assets to, especially in given the very vast difference in 223 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 11: valuation of small cap versus large cap value versus growth. Listen, 224 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 11: those the the tech stocks, whether it's five, seven or nine, 225 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 11: you know that we all know the names of you 226 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 11: know there they can they're great companies to look at 227 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 11: Meta today, you know up again I think three percent 228 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 11: with their with their you know they're planning on rolling 229 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 11: out of competitor to Twitter. But I mean it's it's 230 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 11: really just, you know, a pretty wild time to be 231 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 11: in technology. But again, I think the market also gives 232 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 11: you other really interesting areas to invest in that haven't 233 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 11: had this kind of run that you've seen. 234 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: Away from the market as a reflection of the economy, 235 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: what what tells the more apt story what's happening in 236 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: the auto market, as we mentioned a few moments ago, 237 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: versus manufacturing. 238 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 11: Well, I think they're intertwined, to be honest, and I think, 239 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 11: you know, you still have a very strong US consumer 240 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 11: that's able to you know, to look with, especially whether 241 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 11: you're looking at new autos, used autos obviously talking about new, 242 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 11: but you know the other thing that's out there is 243 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 11: there are some really attractive financing rates. I mean, yes, 244 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 11: depending upon your credit and depending on what you're buying. 245 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 11: But you know, I've seen rates for financing as low 246 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 11: as point nine percent for three years and one point 247 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 11: seven or one point nine percent on new GM trucks. 248 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 11: So I mean there is a market out there, and 249 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 11: the US consumer continues to be extremely resilient. And I 250 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 11: think what you just mentioned about autos is another great 251 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 11: example of the resiliency of the US economy because even 252 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 11: in the face of higher rates, autos, anything that's financed 253 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 11: is generally the first thing that's going to bear the 254 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 11: brunt of the SPED increases. 255 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 2: That's my point is you'd think that autos would be 256 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: suffering with these high interest rates, and if you look 257 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: at manufacturing, it really is suffering. I mean, the pmis 258 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: have been in the mid to low forties. If you 259 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: look at Chicago, if you look at the broader ism 260 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: that was just out a few days ago, it seems 261 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: to be a completely different story than what you see 262 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: in some consumer. 263 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 11: Activity one hundred percent. And that's the biggest conundrum, right 264 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 11: it's this economy has been so resilient, but it's if 265 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 11: you look at different parts of it, it tells a 266 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 11: different story, which again I think is what's complicating FED 267 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 11: and their decision. And again I think with this decision 268 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 11: in June to pause to sort of see what the 269 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 11: impacts are. But you know, every week with a different numbers, 270 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 11: a lot of them are telling two different stories, you know. 271 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 11: So you've got some good news on inflation with this 272 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 11: expectation as consumers look forward. The most recent report that 273 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 11: just came out said people expect inflation to be backed 274 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 11: down around twenty nineteen levels, which with the FED is 275 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 11: a great thing, but the numbers don't bear that out. 276 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 11: So it's really a fascinating period of time that we're in, 277 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 11: but one that makes it very difficult for the FED, 278 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 11: which in turn makes it very difficult for the markets. 279 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 12: Well, Chuck, I mean, you know, this is the conundrum 280 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 12: which is facing all these Western economies, essentially for central banks. 281 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 12: And what it is is that, you know, you've got 282 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 12: this economic resilience in the face of the cost of 283 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 12: borrowing continually rising, which means that they're going to have 284 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 12: to go even higher, which is not exactly a helpful 285 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 12: backdrop for equity. 286 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 11: Surely, No, that's one hundred percent correct. That is the 287 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 11: biggest challenge, right, So I think without a doubt personally, 288 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 11: I think the Fed's going to you know, they're going 289 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 11: to increase rates in July. We got that coming up. 290 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 11: I think, you know, twenty fifth, twenty sixth, I think 291 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 11: in July is the next FED meeting. And listen, that 292 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 11: is the big conundrum in that they have one tool 293 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 11: to apply, and that is to crush demand. And you know, 294 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 11: really the other thing that's making their life very very 295 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 11: difficult is the labor market. You know, employment and the 296 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 11: job's picture is extremely strong and given the importance obviously 297 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 11: to each individual consumer's pocketbook in terms of their job, 298 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 11: that picture is extremely strong. So yes, the market, though, 299 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 11: I think, realizes what the future may look like. They've 300 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 11: baked some of these FED increases in even these the 301 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 11: meeting minutes that just came out really weren't a huge 302 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 11: surprise to I think people that were paying attention, you know, 303 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 11: in terms of what that last meeting was like and 304 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 11: where they wound up in more importantly, how they got there, right. 305 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 11: I mean, it was unanimous decision at the end, but 306 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 11: there were obviously some people there would have been very 307 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 11: comfortable raising rates a quarter of a point and quite candidly, 308 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 11: probably had good reason too. 309 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: Let's switch to another discussion US China. There's a lot 310 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: of I think there's a huge gap between de risking 311 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: and decoupling. But every time the US says d risk, 312 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: China says, you mean de couple. 313 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 9: Uh. 314 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: Do you expect much out of the Yellen meetings this week? 315 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 11: Yeah, That's that's one of the biggest wildcards I think 316 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 11: going forward when you look at geopolitical risks. I mean, 317 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 11: you know, our you know, our relationship with China is 318 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 11: so important on a lot of different levels, but so 319 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 11: fraught with problems on every other level. I personally don't 320 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 11: expect an awful lot, you know, from the Yellen visit. 321 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 11: I think it's good that it's happening, but these issues 322 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 11: with you know, the US obviously restricting supply of chips, 323 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 11: and you know, with ASML, now with the Dutch, you know, 324 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 11: and China's reaction in terms of limiting materials and minerals 325 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 11: coming out of China that support you know, obviously chips, 326 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 11: and national events and things of that nature. That is 327 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 11: a very very difficult not to try to untie. And 328 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 11: you know, it's it has a lot of ramifications I 329 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 11: smarter people than me hopefully can figure it out, but 330 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 11: it seems like a very very intractable problem right now. 331 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 11: Which is is I think one of the biggest headwinds 332 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 11: going into the rest of this year. 333 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 3: Jack. 334 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 12: I know we say this every few days before that, 335 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 12: the first Friday of every month, and I'm talking about 336 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 12: the jobs report. How important will this one be? 337 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 11: I think it's I think it's incredibly important, and to 338 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 11: your point, it's always important. You know, the last job's 339 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 11: number was what I think it was, three hundred and 340 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 11: thirty three hundred and thirty nine thousand new jobs past 341 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 11: prior months were raised upwards of one hundred thousand jobs. 342 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 11: It's I think it's the biggest It's absolutely the biggest 343 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 11: thing that's going to be happening. And honestly, when you 344 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 11: look at all the talk about recession, the one missing 345 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 11: piece of that is labor and is employment, and that 346 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 11: just hasn't happened. So I don't know. I think it's 347 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 11: going to be another strong number. Personally, we'll see what 348 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 11: Friday brings us, but it's going to be a huge 349 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 11: bell weather for to make the Fed's job a lot 350 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 11: harder or a lot easier and I think it's probably 351 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 11: going to make it harder. 352 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 2: Okay, thirty second elevator pitch, give me your number one 353 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: call at the moment. 354 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 11: Boy, So I would say. I would say the number 355 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 11: one call at the moment is to take advantage of 356 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 11: areas of the market that haven't performed well, the vast 357 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 11: disparity and valuations between small caps and large caps value 358 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 11: versus growth. And again, be choosy when we're talking about value, 359 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 11: not regional banks and things that might still have some problems. 360 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 11: But I certainly think looking at small caps value and 361 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 11: some international exposure, given how far the markets run, would 362 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 11: be a very nice addition to someone's portfolio. And again, 363 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 11: if your technology stocks have run, there's nothing wrong with 364 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 11: trimming some winners. It seems to be something we forget 365 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 11: to do. I would take a little bit of money 366 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 11: off the table attack. 367 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia, your morning brief on the 368 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 2: story's making news from Hong Kong to Singapore and Wall Street. 369 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed every day on Apple, Spotify, 370 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: and anywhere else you get your podcasts. 371 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each day on Bloomberg eleven 372 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: three to zero in New York Bloomberg ninety nine to 373 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 2: one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh sixty one in Boston, 374 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 2: and Bloomberg nine sixty in San Francisco. 375 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 376 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
