Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course on the Bloomberg Got 5 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: an important guesting It's starting with folks, just to say 6 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: that John and I will be here through Thursday. We 7 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: take the Gulf Stream back Thursday night the Red Eye. 8 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: UH to really get back John for Jobs Day in America, 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: which really goes to the synthesis of market house adjustment 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: over the weekend, a lot of houses saying not so 11 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: much we were wrong, here's a new view, but just 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: saying we got to catch up with all the events 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: market to market to some degree. Let's bring him off 14 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: in both shall we Bokley's head of effect strategy. It 15 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: feels like that Marvin it was already in the price 16 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: a market looking for two rate cuts. Then the likes 17 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: of Barclays come out and say, yes, that's probably what 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: we're gonna get. JP Morgan calling for the same walk 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: me through why two cuts this year from the federal 20 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: Reserve makes sense with unemployment South of four percent and 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: GDP in and around two three percentage points. Well, to 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: be fair and Jonathan, markets had a pretty big repricing 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: over the weekend as well. I mean front end of 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: FED funds moved seventeen points. We're now pricing in sixty 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,839 Speaker 1: three basis points by December. That's amazing, Um and most 26 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: a big chunk of that just came over the weekend. Now, 27 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: where where does this come from? I think the shock 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: is that a lot of people had believed through most 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: of this year that the president would be swayed by markets, 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: uh and um would not push ahead with an aggressive 31 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: trade agenda. Um. That was the hope that they kept 32 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: clinging to throughout the China negotiations. When at the end 33 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: of last week he seemed to open up front again 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: end Mexico, Europe, India, and reportedly almost Australia. Yeah, I 35 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: question question that one. But uh, when you see all 36 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: of that at once, all of a sudden, everybody has 37 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: to rethink, oh my gosh, this guy might be serious 38 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: here and what are going to be the growth impact. 39 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: Precisely to your point, Jonathan, growth in the US looks 40 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: really good right now, and you've got a lot of 41 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: ongoing momentum. But when you have that many different things 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: going on and potential serious feedback from equity markets to 43 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: US households, does that start to have an impact. So 44 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: often we've got a big week ahead, we've got an 45 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: ECB decision, Central Bank decisions from my believe, Australia and 46 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: India litted in somewhere between, then payrolls Friday too. For me, actually, 47 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: one of the most important data points of the week 48 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: is the I s m at in about three hours 49 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: time for the United States, because just two weeks ago 50 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: there was a really soft p M I read in 51 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: America and it just started to feed a little bit 52 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: of anxiety around the growth story in the United States. 53 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: How important is that I s M read for you 54 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: and a few as time ofvin Well, I'd split that 55 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: two ways. There's the market reaction, which I think to 56 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: your point, Jonathan, uh, you had a very strong market 57 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: reaction a few weeks ago. I think you'll get the 58 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: same thing here if you had a big negative surprise here. 59 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: But remember, the survey data are not actually uh that 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: useful at forecasting the economy. What will be more, much 61 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: more important is what's going on with continued um strength 62 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: in household income growth. So that's where I'm gonna look 63 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: towards the end of the week, towards payroll. Okay, that's economics. 64 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: I want to talk for our global Wall Street audience here. 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: What time is it, John in New York? At seven 66 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: o'clock in New York, they're getting ready for a Monday? 67 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: And on a volatility basis, that jump on a standard 68 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: deviation basis, we're not the crisis, We're not to panic. 69 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we're getting there quickly. It's two standard deviations 70 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: is two point four? Some indicators are even three ish 71 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: standard deviations. What is the immediacy of it's Monday? In 72 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: the move we've seen over the last two weeks, Tom, 73 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: I think it really goes back to that point that 74 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: there is a come up in a cross markets UH, 75 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: that there are assumptions that the president would be driven 76 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: by markets may not be correct. And when you have 77 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: a you know, sudden cathartic UH shift in the market narrative, 78 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: which is what seems to have happened here, you can 79 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: get these types of very abrupt moves in markets. So 80 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: let's get to the FX code last year. Ultimately, what 81 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: this stress abroad? Men was a strong a dollar. Is 82 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: it the same story in nineteen for you, Marvin, Yeah, 83 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: although I think the pattern UH is a bit more different, 84 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: uh in the sense that, um, you know, last year 85 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: we had a effective range trade in G ten UH 86 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: and weakening of emerging markets, both which, by the way, 87 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: we forecast. Um, just throw that, just throw worry. We'll 88 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: call you when you're wrong as well. Yeah, exactly, Um, 89 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: but now we're getting to a much more aggressive, potential 90 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: negative growth environment. Now where are the places in the 91 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: world that have not been able to generate their own 92 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: domestic growth. It's been Europe and it's been emerging market, 93 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: So I think much more significant potential downside from there. Um. 94 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: But Japan actually as an alternate um safe haven. This 95 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 1: is one of the calls we've been making for a while. 96 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: There's actually the ends stands to benefit from these issues. 97 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: So walk me through your advice to people. This morning 98 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: we wake up futures gap blower once again. What I 99 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: see this morning, though it's a lot of old news 100 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: on repeat. Over the weekend, the presidents saying tariffs were beautiful, 101 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: China digging its heels in. We had a white paper 102 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: from the Chinese red the white paper. There's nothing really 103 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: anything new in there, nothing substantial, no real change from 104 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: the Chinese. The South Korean trade data ugly, but we 105 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: knew that a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, we had 106 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: a lead on the sports from South Korea and that's terrible. 107 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: The Chinese Kishan p M I pretty much unchanged from 108 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: the previous month. It's not great news, but it's not 109 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: incrementally new. Are we just like in a positive catalyst? 110 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: Is that what we need now just to kind of stabilize, Yeah, 111 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: I think that's that's Uh, that's it. But we also 112 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: need to see real developments from here to you to 113 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: your point on the trade front. So we uh, we're 114 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: all awaiting the G twenty meetings see if anything shifts 115 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: come on. What's going to shift at the When is 116 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: the meeting at the end of the moment of the 117 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: month in Japan? Where are we going? We can go 118 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: if you like, I think we should. I mean, this 119 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: has already been a huge success. Well we should go. 120 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean we're only eight minutes in, Tom let's not 121 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: define it as a success just yet. Minutes in, eight 122 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: minutes in. I was talking about Clarridges last night, Marvin 123 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: one Wston. Can you make foreign exchange calls here? Can 124 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: can you make a call given the swirl of data 125 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: and information or really on the sidelines? No, I think 126 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: I think you can the one place where it does 127 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: seem pretty much untradeable as sterling. But um, you know, 128 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: the dollar is ultimately the beneficiary of uh a uh 129 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, volatile global environment. Because the US is a 130 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: store of value. You're gonna go dollar here right now, 131 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: even with lower rates. Marvin Bart, thank you so much. 132 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: Great sabulous note he had. He had a whole note, 133 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: folks wrapped around a band. John, this is a band 134 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: before your time. Ri e m. He had a band, 135 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: He had a whole research note wrapper you do school, 136 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: Why don't you bring in professor? I think he was 137 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: lining you up with a three bedroom condo. We're in 138 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the middle of negotiations. The former Italian Treasury chief economist. 139 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: Good morning to Lorenz. Great time morning. Let's talk about 140 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: the current situation in Italy. There is a Growth and 141 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: Stability Pact in the European Union where you must try 142 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: and have a budget deficit of it and around three 143 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: percent of GDP. The Italians and this Italian government would 144 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: like to have the purse strings loosened a little bit. 145 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: Do you think that's the right approach to the current situation? Um, 146 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: The short answer is no, because Italy has already a 147 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: very high debt to GDP ratio and certainly wasn't in 148 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: the fiscal situation would undermine confidence and would undermine the 149 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: interests of international investors for for Italian government bond paper. 150 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: Why is that's still the case to runzo? Why is 151 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: the debt to GDP ratio still so important when say, 152 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: for Japan it's north of two. Why is it still 153 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: so important to a country like Italy in Europe? Well, 154 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: in Japan as its own currency, and the central bank 155 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: is buying paper aggressively and uh and domestic investors are 156 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: not flying away, So that's a peculiar situation. I would 157 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: say Italy sebtly is not in that situation. I think 158 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: there is a risk of capital flight, and there is 159 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: a risk that the fiscal situation deteriorate without having any 160 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: central bank step in and and and and buying paper. 161 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: So I think that is the situation right now. Now. 162 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: I think that there is indeed a problem of aggregate demand, 163 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: so it would be desirable to have some leeway in 164 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: terms of public finances, but that only if the government 165 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: delivers on structural reforms that can enance the growth potential 166 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: over time. John, and I could speak to you for 167 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: an hour, and it would be an exceptionally important hour. 168 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: Let me begin with square one. Why should our US 169 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: listeners care this time about Italy? Italy has been a 170 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: mess for years, decades, but you and others say this 171 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: time is different. Why is now different? Well, I wouldn't 172 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: say that Italy has been in a mess for for years. 173 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: I mean Italy has struggled to address all these uh 174 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, structural issues one by one, and admittedly very 175 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: slowly and with lack of conviction, so to speak. But 176 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: this time is different because we have a different government, 177 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: and we have a government that behaves like a maverick 178 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: and doesn't really recognize the rules and the constraints. The 179 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: government says, why are we being treated like this? France, 180 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: in many ways, in different ways, is in worse shape. 181 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: How do you analyze the relative mass of Italy versus 182 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: other nations, including France. Well, France has been in excessive 183 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: procedure for quite a long while. Keep in mind that 184 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: in the Eurozone, Spain is still in excessive deficity procedures 185 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: or UM Italy would not be alone, so to speak. Uh. 186 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: The issue is that you need to find ways to 187 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: negotiate and find ways to get flexibility from the fiscal constraints. 188 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: The previous government has tried, at least with difficulties, but 189 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: has has obtained a lot of flexibility for structural reforms 190 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: for investment spending. UM admittedly hasn't delivered much, but but 191 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: again at least has tried. This coming is not even trying. 192 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Do you think that the idea of 193 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: counter cyclical fiscal policy will ever take out in Europe? Uh? Well, 194 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: the rules are designed to achieve counter cyclical fiscal policy, 195 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: but as a matter of fact, Europe and Italy especially 196 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: has has not really performed county cyclical fiscal policy has 197 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: actually gone through a tremendous tightening into thousand eleven two 198 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: thousand twelve, and then only very gradually has actually losing it. 199 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: Fiscal policy now that the situation is still fragile but 200 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: certainly better than in the past, is actually losing in policy. UM. Now, 201 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: you might argue that there would be a need to 202 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: lose in fiscal policy. Uh. I would say that again, 203 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: there is still an issue without going togate demand, but 204 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: you have to consider the constraints and you have to 205 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: consider that Italy faces on almost a daily basis financial markets. 206 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: It needs to finance a huge amount of debt and 207 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: it has to attract investors. Of this race is a 208 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: really important point. You still believe that read denomination risk 209 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: is on the table Italy and that if they don't 210 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: deal with it, they aren't able to do countercyclical fiscal 211 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: policy because of that. So how do we address read 212 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: denomination risk? Can we address it in Europe? Is it 213 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: just something that hangs over the continent for as long 214 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: as the Euro's earnest together. I think there is still 215 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: a default risk and read denomination risk, and that's why 216 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: Italian government bonds are still under pressure. I think in 217 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: order to address these is hues, uh, the the e 218 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: c B I mean came in and the the O 219 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: m T was very effective into tuson TWB to kind 220 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: of reduce the rednomination risk. But this time I think 221 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: it's really up to the Italian government to make sure 222 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: that there is no intention in any way to go 223 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: along these lines. Where does this end up? And by 224 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: that I mean we've gone through an ECB experiment of 225 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: Deutzelberg triche and on. We're gonna get a new head 226 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: of the e c B, to be honest, or you 227 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: would be on a list to be considered as the 228 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: head of the e c B. Where do we end up? 229 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: Giving what John said about a broken fiscal system, a 230 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: one currency system, what's the escape velve to get us 231 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: the EU stability? I think Europe is still unfinished, okay, 232 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: and the US Zone framework, the governors framework, is still 233 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: un finished business. As you know, the so called banking 234 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: union is still is still halfway and uh and you 235 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: know that the governance is still not complete. Um. I 236 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: think the situation needs to be addressed. In my view, 237 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: for distenance, it would be absolutely essential to have a 238 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: safe acet um that would actually avoid the capital flights 239 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: within the Eurozone. And I think that would be a 240 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: way to address some of these issues. At least we 241 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: are out of time. Lorenzo con you thank you so 242 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: much for joining us our studios to thank you greatly, 243 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: greatly appreciate it.

We never see her because 246 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: she is a White House correspondent of Immen's ability for Bloomberg, 247 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: her initial acclaim in credible work for the Tempera Tribune 248 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: years ago on a resurgent Republican Party in the South, 249 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: but much much more. She is Margaret tolliv who has 250 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: said with great respect about our American politics. She's of 251 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: course here with Bloomberg News. Is a president was incompetent, 252 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: you are the less likely you are likely to be 253 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: on the shot. See what you just said, Well, we 254 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: can just keep it coming, you know, we can just that. 255 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: We We never can get her. But Margaret Tullivan's studio 256 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: with us today and part of that with our team 257 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: coverage here, there will be those who will look at 258 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: the coming days of greeting by the Queen today and 259 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: that and you pick it up in Portsmouth and this 260 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: will be emotional as well. What will greet the President 261 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: of the United States and leaders around the world in 262 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: a very emotional Portsmouth. Yeah. Absolutely, what we're seeing, well, 263 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: we're going to see this week in Portsmouth and then 264 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: in Normandy is up close and personal a reminder of 265 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: the legacy see of the United States and the European 266 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: Allies UM since World War Two, and there are the 267 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: veterans from D Day are UM getting older and older. 268 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: This is probably the last of these official ceremonies. And 269 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: so much of the President's messaging since he took office 270 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: in seventeen has been UM to test the strength and 271 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: the resilience of that alliance, to question um the sort 272 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: of modern form of that alliance, and to go back 273 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: and forth between talking about how important the Allies are 274 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: and to prodding the Allies to pulling out of the 275 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: Paris Climate Deal, to talking about payments to NATO or 276 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: payments defense, you know, commitments toward NADO. This is not that, 277 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: this is something very different. The Washington Post with an 278 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: essay in the photograph of Ted Roosevelt and Quentin Roosevelt's 279 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: tombstones at Normandy. And then we move over to this 280 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: president and the uproar over the John McCain in Asia 281 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: as well. What is it exception right now of the 282 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: president that you see Margaret day to day with a pentagon. 283 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: The President has been a great defender of defense budgets, 284 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: talked about the importance of the military uh in in 285 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: his rhetoric when he addresses troops or veterans or anyone 286 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: in the military talks about how he loves the military 287 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: more than the last president does. And yeah, well he's 288 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: he's toned off on these other issues. And John McCain 289 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: is a revered uh, a figure in an American military 290 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: of course. Well, yes that that the the U. S. S. 291 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: McCain wasn't actually even for Meccanicos for his family. But uh, 292 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: and so the and so the president has a blind 293 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: spot on some of these issues. And I think his staff, 294 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: as they have tried to prepare for this trip, both 295 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: the political staff and the National Security Council, have sought 296 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: um to have the president focus on um, the diplomacy 297 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: and the historic sweep of this event. They have sought 298 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: to minimize his interactions and and his distractions with those 299 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: issues such as British politics. But before he had even 300 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: landed on the ground, he um, he cannot resist. It 301 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: seems that he can resist. So Margaret walked in the 302 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: studio John Farrell and she said, Tom, on half your height. 303 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: It's actually true. I'm like four ft one. Really strange 304 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: spat with the with the Mayor of London. It's very strange, 305 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: Markret and it's not just one way. It comes from 306 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: the Mayor of London as well. Sadi Con not exactly 307 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: laying out the red carpet on the last two busies. No, 308 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: in fact I to p to paraphraser, but this is 309 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: almost exactly he almost He said, why is Britain rolling 310 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: out the red carpet? And uh Sidi Con put out 311 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: this op edit Brandon The Guardian of course, over the weekend, 312 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: and then, just in case the President hadn't read it yet, 313 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: retweeted it about twenty minutes before Air Force one while 314 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: wheels down and Trump, faced with the choice of taking 315 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: the high road or punching back, did what um he prefers. 316 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: He punched back. So let's talk about the next couple 317 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: of days. Wednesday is really really important for the world 318 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: to pause and remember Tuesday. This going to this working 319 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: dinner lunch with the Prime Minister and several executives, to 320 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: what can we expect from tomorrow on the policy front, 321 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: if we can expect anythink at all. Tomorrow is an 322 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: important policy day for a couple of reasons. Even though 323 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: Theresa May is on her way out and so they're 324 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: not going to like wrap up Huawei or bilateral trade 325 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: with the bow. Uh. It is a moment for the 326 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: President and for the Prime Minister and for their two 327 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: teams to move the ball forward on some of these 328 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: issues that are going to exist not only beyond her 329 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: prime ministership, but perhaps beyond his presidency as well. Some 330 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: of these are long term, decades long issues, uh, and 331 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: involve um things such as intelligence sharing. Okay, but beyond that, 332 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: the President wants it's obvious now, there's no doubt, wants 333 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: to put his thumb on the scale in terms of 334 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: the next Prime Minister's contest because he wants to influence breggsit. 335 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 1: He wants to make sure Breggsit happens. He wants to 336 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: make sure breaks that happens in a way that he 337 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 1: thinks will help the United States. Very quickly, one more question, 338 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: Secretary Minution came down the stairs after the President and 339 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: the First Lady. Are they in speaking terms on trade? 340 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: They are? And I think with Kevin Hassett on his 341 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: way out that having Manution around, you know what happened 342 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: did he resigned? Was he kicked out? What we're still getting. 343 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: The announcement came very shortly, you know, before the President's 344 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: arrival here. It's been busy till she hasn't got the scape. 345 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: We see her Wednesday or Thursday. She's back. She spat 346 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: with us tomorrow. Get might right, John Farroll the vote 347 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: right now? Are p M I. I think the I 348 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: M S P M mis have always been important. The 349 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: ice sunds, particularly in the United States, an important indicator 350 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: of of US growth. Tom okay, let's ask Diane swaps 351 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: with us. Grant Thornton Chief, is it great to speak 352 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: with Diane swak On another fantatistic Diane talked to us 353 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: about the importance of is MS can convert a nonbeliever 354 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: in Tom King, I shouldn't make me laugh. I'm recovering 355 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: from severe acute learningitis. But you know, the soft indicators 356 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: with my voice lower and much lower than it's fine, Diane, 357 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Just sounds terrible, but 358 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: conte um, this is the most voice I've had in 359 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: a week. So anyway, those soft indicators are really important 360 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: today because they're more of a real time indicator, and 361 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: the employment of report coming out I'm pride, of course, 362 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: will be another one of those closer indicators that doesn't 363 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: have as big of a lag, and people are really 364 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: trying to feel how much is the trade situation affecting us? 365 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: How much? You know, those soft indicators have shown more 366 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: weakness than some of the overall measures of the US 367 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: economic growth are looking closer to one point seven in 368 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: the second quarter. So that's why we're paying so much 369 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: attention to them, because they give us a sense of 370 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: real time, although only albeit a very small slice of 371 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: the overall pie, the economic pie we're looking at. And 372 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: now we rip up and I remember those reports to you, 373 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: remember M one, M two when you were a freshman 374 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: year at Michigan. And now we rip up the script. 375 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: There is no one genetically from a family heritage were 376 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: hardwired to speak on the economics of trade and the 377 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: American auto industry like Diane Swap Diane, you grew up bleeding? 378 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: Was it GM that you grew up bleeding? Uh? GM? 379 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: And Forward? Actually my dad started forward, went to GM, 380 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: and my stepfather was exactly we had it all covered 381 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: head mustangs and cats. You know, am just out of 382 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: the headline moments ago US as friends with Mexico. There's 383 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: been a blur of headlines. What does all this trade 384 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: stuff mean for American auto? It's really really hard. This 385 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: was written for the auto industry. NAPTA was written for 386 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: the auto industry in it was written for the Midwestern states. 387 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: In fact, at that point in time, the supply chain. 388 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: The reason even five percent, which seems like a small 389 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: tier off to start with, it compounds so rapidly because 390 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: of the number of times apart or component goes over 391 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: the border before a vehicle is completed. So the amount 392 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: of content you add in from the get go, from 393 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: June tenth on is quite high. And that's why you 394 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: even see some business looking out there too. Through the 395 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: administration on that can people like you or people would 396 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: give the fedshop Chicago whatever Cleveland, can they explain to 397 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: the leadership, including the President of the United States the 398 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: number of jobs that will be lost. Well, I think 399 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: the people who can explain it best are not leaving 400 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: the administration, which is unfortunate. Seeing Yeah, and I think 401 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: you know, the reality is is that this has become 402 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: The goal of this is not just trade. The goal 403 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: of this is not just bringing jobs back to the U. S. 404 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: There's a larger goal. Clearly, the goal of the Mexican 405 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: tourists have to do with refugees at the border and 406 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: what's going on at the border that could be solved 407 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: other ways, and um, we need to think about what 408 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: the cost and trade us of every solution are. But 409 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: I think that there's a disconnect between the economic consequences 410 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: of actions and emotional reaction to what's happening at the border. 411 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: That's what makes this latest turn in the last week 412 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: so so difficult for economists and that I speak to. 413 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: With China, it's almost a known entity that some economists 414 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: even agree. In fact, many people that I speak to 415 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: agree with the president's approach to China to get them 416 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: to open up the economy because ultimately we can achieve 417 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: that it could be better for the global economy. With Mexico, 418 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: it's moved from an economic tool to an economic goal 419 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: towards an economic tool for a political outcome. And Dianne 420 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: just wonders, makes you wonder what else is in play, 421 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: and that makes it really difficult to have any kind 422 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: of forecast on growth. How on earth does an economist 423 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: like yourself come up with a forecast on growth with 424 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: all these extra variables to deal with? What do you do, Diane, Well, 425 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: it's a great question and one of the things that 426 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: we're looking at, and it's it's not something you can 427 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: just add up. What you have to start doing is 428 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: saying what kind of toll can this play in terms 429 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: of the market psyche, in terms of business psyche, in 430 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: terms of consumer psyche. And what we've seen already is 431 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: that some major indicators out there have already flipped into 432 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: that prerecession territory. Doesn't mean a recession is imminent, but 433 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: CEO confidences flowing below the fifties threshold for the by 434 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: the Conference Board. We've seen consumers, although they're confident about 435 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: their current situation, they're not so happy about the future. 436 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: We've seen that the s M survey has fallen lower 437 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: on the manufacturing side. All of those things suggested for 438 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: Julie that could be compounded with these scares that make 439 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: it very hard that tipping point, the domino effect of 440 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: something that could tip us into recession doesn't look like 441 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: it numerically by just the direct Cariiff's effects alone. And 442 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: that's what we start looking at, is the collateral damage. Dan, 443 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: thank you so much. Your voice sounds like Janni's chopping 444 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: after the third album.
