8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Tell me, Matt, if you want to try to call

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: the bottom, look for capitulation. That means when everybody just

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: kind of throws it in town. I'm looking at it.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: You know, the volume today, the dal Jones above normal,

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: SP above normal. I don't know. That's kind of feels

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: like a lot of people are just kind of thrown

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: into town. But let's talk to our professional here, Mike

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: vogals On, Chief Investment Officer Managing director at cap Trust. Uh, Mike,

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: are we at or near the bottom? If we are,

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: what data points do you look at to give you

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: some confidence about that call? Yeah, we've been wrestling with

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: that question a lot, guys. I mean, it's it's a

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, clearly, what we're seeing is just continued obviously

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: de risking in the in the I think particularly the

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: hedge fund community. Um. You know that the hedge fund

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: returns have been all over the place this year, and

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: along short guys are are really struggling. A couple of

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: a couple of winners, but most of them are really

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: in trouble. And so I think I'm trying to de

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: risk sort of at any price. And you see that

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: in some of the activity today, Um, that that's certainly

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: a phase that the market has to go through. Um.

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: You know, I think one of the things that's interesting

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: is this this uh sort of the sort of the

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: orderliness with which we've seen this this meltdown. Now right,

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: we're down fifteen percent or something like that from the

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: peak on December or January three in the SMP. And

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's not been crazy. We haven't hit anywhere

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: near forty on the VIX. We're even today we're a

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: three four. Um, you know, it's it's it's we kind

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: of looked for it's. You could look at it in

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: the numbers. But there's also a visceral reaction of just

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: like get me out at any price, right, And I

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: think you're starting to see that at some of the

42
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: most beaten down names, some of the really speculative innovation

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: kind of names that that that have really you know,

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: they're down already. UM, So there's probably pockets of it,

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't I don't think overall there's

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: a there's a ton of fear here. I'm worried that

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: as interest rates continue to climb, as you pointed out,

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're over three ten, we're up three fifteen.

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: This war hand and tame year, My goodness, I don't

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't know where it stops. The Feds have the

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: fence has really even haven't even started yet. Yeah, but

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: I wonder when that's going to get priced in though

53
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: they haven't even started yet, but we already expect you know,

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: half back to back, half basis point cuts. Some people

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: were saying seventy five and seventy five as well. Um,

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: is there a point when that gets priced in and

57
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, all of the concerns you had about inflation

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: and fighting inflation, um, and the economy slowing down are

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: all priced in and we can get out. I think

60
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: I think you've got to look for a direction, right,

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: You've got to look for the directional change and and

62
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: right now inflation has only been getting worse. Um And

63
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: and at some stage we need to see a consistent

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: pattern of you know, lower employment cost index or we

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: are slower slower growth, same thing with inflation. We need

66
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: to see uh COVID lockdowns in China beginning to ease,

67
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: so we have some sense that the that the that

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: the you know, the logistics supply problems are are beginning

69
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: to free up. You know this. Right now, it seems

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: like everything is continuing to go in the wrong direction.

71
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: And until we get some fundamental change at the margins,

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: it's just hard to see why anybody would want to

73
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: step in front of it because there's no there's no

74
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: way to to know um. You know. Look, and every

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: time we talk about something like this, it really comes

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: down to your time frame. And if if your time

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: frame is relatively short, um, I think you're going to

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: stay out of the way of this thing. I think

79
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: if you're a long term investor and you have some

80
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: dry powder, I think you have to begin to think

81
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: about nibbling at the at the margins here. Just because

82
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: there are some things that are pretty inexpensive. It's pretty easy,

83
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: for example, to buy a large cap value portfolio with

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: the price to earnings ratio pretty close to single digits now,

85
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: maybe ten or eleven twelve times earnings UM with a

86
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: pretty healthy dividend. Okay, that's pretty interesting right over the

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: next five or ten years. UM. So, you know, I

88
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: think the pockets of a sort of long term allocation

89
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: that can happen if you're if you're in the right

90
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: spot and you're sort of smart enough to know that

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: it's sort enought to see some of this coming, um

92
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: and so, but you know, I just don't think we're

93
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: there yet on a on a momentum kind of basis.

94
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: There's no way yet. Hey, Mike, thanks so much for

95
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: joining us here. Always appreciate getting your thoughts from here

96
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: on in these markets. Mike phobos On. He's a chief

97
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: investment officer and managing director at Cap Trust. All Right, Matt,

98
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: I filled up the beamer this weekend four one per gallon.

99
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to blame somebody, so I just obviously just

100
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: looked at OPEC because I'm looking at the oil here,

101
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Brent crude on eight dollars a barrel. But I forgot

102
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: about the whole refining process and taking that crude oil

103
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: into gas or dies or whatever else we need to consume.

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: There's a whole refinery process out there, and don't you

105
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: know haveavier Blast Calumnus for Bloomberg Opinion comes out with

106
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: a fantastic column today looking at that part of the

107
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: energy stream. The mark of the refinery business. How your

108
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: those guys are making a lot of money right now?

109
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: Aren't they making quarter lot of money right now? Record

110
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: margins for American refiners currently about fifty dollars per barrel

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: of refining margin. This is a bit of a back

112
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: of the envelope calculation. Each refinery is different, so you

113
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: cannot really have like a benchmark for the whole industry,

114
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: but we have a of the envelope calculation that in

115
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: the industry we called the three to one refinery margin,

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: and that is the record high up. In simple terms,

117
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: a refinery usually makes something between ten and twenty dollars,

118
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: but barrely, they're making about fifty five right now, so

119
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: it's as good as it gets for them. And uh,

120
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, people pay attention to normal gas every you know,

121
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: consumer focused cable TV news channel. Uh, we're looking at

122
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: Paul and I have a huge bank of screens here.

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: They're all focused on the price at the pump and

124
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: talking about regular unleaded, but diesel is almost seven dollars

125
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: a barrel where I live. What is going on with that? Well,

126
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: that is the market that is the tightest of all

127
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: of them. There is very little diesel going around. And

128
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: this is a this is something that really mattered. You're right,

129
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: most of consumers, myself included, we we we really look

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: at cattle in prices because that's what we we we

131
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: we need for our car. But the global economy, the

132
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: American economy, really run on diesel. That is the fuel

133
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: for tracks, that is the fuel for heavy machinery things

134
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: about all of those machines and diggers on construction sites,

135
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: and it's also the fuel for for farming. And supplies

136
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: are well above pre pandemic levels because in far all

137
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: of us, myself included, are buying all these stuff online

138
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: and that all needs to be transported in tracks and

139
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: bands and their fuel on on diesel. The supply has

140
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: not really come back, and lots of refineries with trouble

141
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: coming back from from pandemic and the combination of both

142
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: has sent inventories to very low levels, and particularly the

143
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: East Coast, the Eastern seaboard of the United States, lowest

144
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: inventories in thirty two years for diesel, and that's why

145
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: you see retail prices going to record levels. And UH

146
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: diesel prices have never been so high compared to gasolin

147
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: prices in the United States. And and just ongoing comfort

148
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: and scoll from one of the independent American refinance hs

149
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: Sinclair where the CFO used to me gave the quote

150
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: of the day or the month of what's going on

151
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: on the on the diesel market, and morgenally all the

152
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: kind of retail fuel market in the US. He said,

153
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: pre pandemic demand and post pandemic supply. That's that's the problem.

154
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: Demand is back to what it was before the pandemic,

155
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: but the supply has not come back. One of the

156
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: other things that we've noticed, Javier, just on an anecdotal level,

157
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: is it's harder and harder to get cheap tickets on

158
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: an airline. Okay, in Europe, um, it's a different story,

159
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: but here a lot of people are getting priced out

160
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: of the market to fly, even in luggage class. Jet

161
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: Fuel is another one of those markets that's super tight, right, Yeah,

162
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: jet fuel is also very tight. I think that generally

163
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: what has happened was that the industry has been a

164
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: bit surprised by the return of trouble by by air,

165
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: not only in the US but also in Europe. Refinance,

166
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: we're not making enough jet fuel now. The prices are there,

167
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: so get fuel is selling in New York hardword that

168
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: the benchmark for the US East coat at the equivalent

169
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: to about two and fifty dollars per barrel, so very

170
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: very high prices that the highest ever. And refiners are

171
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: something that we are trying to make more get fuel.

172
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: But if they make more get fuel at the expense

173
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: of making maybe a bit less decent or maybe a

174
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: less a bit of less catoline, we really are getting

175
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: quite a lot of strong demand for all of them.

176
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: And and and you are right, consumers are starting to

177
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: get price out on airth travel just because it's getting expensive.

178
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: But I was in America only ten days ago UM

179
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: flying into New York. Both my flying and my flyout

180
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: were completely booked UM every class, first class, business, Premium, Economy,

181
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: and Economy. All of the seats were occupied. And that

182
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: is kind of a sense of how Weston the demand is.

183
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: After two years of not traveling around, people are still

184
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: putting with high prices because they want to They want

185
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: to see relatives, they want to see colleagues, they want

186
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: to see business contacts. Have your How hard or difficult

187
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: is it for refineries to increase capacity? They have to restart,

188
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: refineries have to build new ones. How does that look

189
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: on the spade. It's very difficult because once you you

190
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: shut down a refinery, that's not going to come back.

191
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: And the trend in Europe and the United States over

192
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: the last few years have been of reducing refining capacity

193
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: because of um well, we thought that peak demand was coming,

194
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: the energy transitions, some of the refineries were actually now

195
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: surrounded by big cities or operating with new environmental regulations

196
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: was getting more difficult. And then pandemic hit and that

197
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: two more charge the trend. So what we saw is,

198
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: excluding the Middle East, on China, we saw the biggest

199
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: amount of refining capacity laws in thirty years over the

200
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: last year and a half two years. Because of the pandemic.

201
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Those refineries are not going to come back. And China

202
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: has a specifying capacity, but they really control a lot

203
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: of what they are exporting, so you cannot count on them.

204
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: So we unfortunately seem that we have hit the refinery wall,

205
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: and we're gonna we're gonna have to deal with that

206
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: for for for a time, and the only solution is

207
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: to reduce our slow down the demand for fuel, and

208
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: that only comes be are two things that they are

209
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: closely related. Demanded strokes will be a very high prices.

210
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: So just some American Son people just decide that they

211
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: cannot drive because it's very expensive for outright recession and unfortunately,

212
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: probably we're gonna hit both of them by the end

213
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: of the year. By the way, I heard Tom talking

214
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: to Will Kennedy the other day on Bloomberg Radio and

215
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: asked him, you know where would Brent be right now

216
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: in price terms if it weren't for the lockdowns in China,

217
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: if it weren't for COVID zero, And he said, maybe

218
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: more like or even closer to the high. What do

219
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: you think. I think that we will be higher. I

220
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: think that we will be a hundred and fifty. It

221
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: was not because of China shut down. I mean, China

222
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: is all what is stopping this market to really rallying

223
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: on a moneyful way. Um, if China will not shut down,

224
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: we will be higher than that. Uh. Really in some ways,

225
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: as Son speaking in private son government officials both in

226
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: the US and Europe say, and also oil traders, the

227
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: refusal of China to really go with the fives and

228
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: the moderna vaccine. It's all what is preventing this market

229
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: to a hundred and all? Right? Have you ever last

230
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: calumnist for Bloomberg Opinion got a great, great calm today

231
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: talking at the refining aspect of the supply chain within

232
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: global energy. You know, for a lot of folks, medals

233
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: are a say haven or seen as a safe haven

234
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: for investors in uncertain times. I wonder if that's still

235
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: the case given all the uncertainty we have out there,

236
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: whether it's economic, federal reserve, UH, interest rate moves, geopolitical issues.

237
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: It's checking with one Matthew Miller, one of many medals

238
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: and mining analyst at cfr A Research. Matt, can people

239
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: kind of hide out a little bit in metals here? Yeah?

240
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean it is a great question because we've seen

241
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: we've seen precious medals have a safe haven bid earlier

242
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: in the year, but they have they have since sold off,

243
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: and I think that you know, people are preferring the dollar,

244
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: the US dollar as a safe haven of choice right

245
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: now and you know, I think with the strength of dollar,

246
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: we have seen both precious metals and industrial metals sell off,

247
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that risk off trade is

248
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: really um, you know, a combination of three major factors.

249
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: But you know it fears about inflation and dead number

250
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: one in Russia's war against Ukraine and how that impacting

251
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: the supply side of the equation for industrial medals in particular,

252
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: And then you have China's COVID lockdown, and I think

253
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: that you know, with inflation remaining elevated, we here at

254
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: c fr A do think the industrial medals in particular,

255
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: it is a good place to you know, hedge inflation,

256
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: even though we have seen that weakness recently, we do

257
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: think it's a great place to be currently in terms

258
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: of treasuries. Uh, this morning we're looking at three eighteen.

259
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: I think, let me check to get the exact here

260
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: three spot Well we've come down substantially three spot zero

261
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: one eight and nonetheless it's a much better return than gold.

262
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: Is that a competitor? Yeah, I I absolutely think it is.

263
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think gold tends to do well when

264
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: real rates are declining, and we we threw in the

265
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: talent gold we were bullish for a number of years

266
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: leading up to the end of one, and you know,

267
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: we were too early on that knowing what's happened this year.

268
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: But um, we do think old is gonna struggle to

269
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: reach new highs in this cycle because you you do

270
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: see um, you know, you do see real rates starting

271
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: to creep back up. And so we think that as

272
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: the FED is tightening and real rates start to you know,

273
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: they're now above UM, they're now positive again, and we

274
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: think that gold's gold and precious metals are gonna really

275
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: struggle in this environment. And we do think that that

276
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: is maybe the number one thing over the short intermediate

277
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: term that drives gold prices, that negative correlation with real yields.

278
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: So we do think that that's a major headwind for gold. Hey, Matt,

279
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the nickel a thirty five percent year

280
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: to date. What was slash is the nickel call that

281
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: I so obviously missed well, I mean, nicol is an

282
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: interesting one because um, the spike and nickel really was

283
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: driven by a major um, a major short squeeze, and

284
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: so um, when you look at nickel, it is one

285
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: of the medals that is at risk on the supply side.

286
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: From Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia produces around seven percent

287
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: of the of the global UH supply of nickel, and

288
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: it was already pretty um you know, the the inventory

289
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: levels were already pretty tight. So it was already a

290
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: structurally tight market. And what we saw with um uh

291
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, Russia invading invading Ukraine, you did see a

292
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: major um, a major short seller in China that was

293
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: was literally the big short that that kind of drove

294
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: what's happened with nickel and causing the CME to actually um,

295
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, causing the LMY excuse me to actually um

296
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: halt the exchange a number of times in the last

297
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: couple of months. And so we think that you know,

298
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: there that market is going to be structurally tight, along

299
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: with aluminum and palladium. Um, there's a number of markets

300
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: that rely pretty heavily on that region for for global supply.

301
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm sure the CMME is very happy

302
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: that that was the l M E and and on them.

303
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: Do you think that's done more than just reputational damage

304
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: to the LEMY, I mean other people who are saying,

305
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not trading there anymore. Yeah, Well,

306
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: I do think that they will regain sort of that trust.

307
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, it does hurt in the short term because

308
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, there are a number of trades that were

309
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: canceled that the days that these were um you know,

310
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: the days that the halt happened, and and you never

311
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: really want that to happen, and you don't you never

312
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: want to see that type of volatility. But the reality

313
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: is there there are a number of metals markets that

314
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: aren't very liquid that are you know, they will see

315
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: this sort of volatility, and so you know, the exchanges,

316
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: you know, they do want to, you know, kind of

317
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: do do their part to kind of correct the market

318
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: when you do have a major, um, a major trader

319
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: out there where this was this was a lot of speculation,

320
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: but it was also somebody that was going to be

321
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: needing to close those short positions. So um yeah, I

322
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: mean it's there's no easy solutions for them, But I

323
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: do think that um, you know, they're gonna regain trust.

324
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a long term issue in my opinion.

325
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: All Right, Matthew Miller, thank you so much for joining us.

326
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: Matthew Miller Metals and Mining Analysis c f R, a

327
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: research well in person investor conferences are back. In fact,

328
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Intelligence is hosting its first annual Thematic Investing Conference

329
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: UH May ten and eleven at Bloomberg's Global HQ in

330
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: New York City. The inaugural in person event will focus

331
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: on these key themes plant based foods, digital healthcare, digital commerce,

332
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: digital payments, and cryptocurrency. So all the big topics that

333
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: are front and center. Let's get a little bit of

334
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: a preview. Eric Baltunist, Uh, he covers E t F

335
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Intelligence, and Eric, I know you're deeply involved

336
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: in this conference, so you know, what are Bloomberg clients

337
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: that are attending here? What are they going to see? Um,

338
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna see basically a different themes emerging themes. Why

339
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: themes matter? You have throw stand, A lot of the

340
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: investing universe used to be divided or is divided into sectors,

341
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: the gift sectors. But the the world is changing so

342
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: quickly theme ets I think capture that changed a little

343
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: quicker than the sectors. Do you know some of these

344
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: stocks are in multiple sectors at least in their business lines,

345
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: So more and more of the money is going towards

346
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: thematic ETFs and that's why I'm involved because e t

347
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: f s are tend to be sort of at the

348
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: forefront of finding new themes because if you find a

349
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: new theme and it starts to go up a lot,

350
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: you can get some cash. So if you look at

351
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: the sectors, uh if thematic ETFs have the second most

352
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: assets after tech, So we all know tech rules the sectors,

353
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: but themes are number two now above healthcare. So that's

354
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: how this is. These used to be kind of a

355
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: laughing stock like a video game. Et F would come

356
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: out everyday the trash and laugh at it. Now it's

357
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: big business. This stuff is the future of active in

358
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: my opinion, and it's smart of b I to get

359
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: on board. So a lot, a lot a lot of

360
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: times Matt and I away ask a guess, you know,

361
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: what sectors are you looking at? But maybe a better question,

362
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: or certainly a different question be what themes are you

363
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: guys focusing on? Yes, so well they're going to focus

364
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: on everything. You know you talked about blockchain, cryptocurrency, plant

365
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: based themes, the digit digitization of everything is a big one.

366
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: Some that we're looking at this year that are interesting

367
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: are natural resources, right themes time Sometimes people think theme

368
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: are themes are just growth stocks sort of you know, repackaged,

369
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: but there's natural resources which hold oil mining stocks. You've

370
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: also got infrastructure is a theme, and with the infrastructure

371
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: spending that could be big the metaverse, even though that's

372
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: been hit hard, that is a theme people are looking at.

373
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: So those are some of the ones that we're looking

374
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: at on my panel. We also have ARC. We don't

375
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: have Kathy, We have Brett Witten and ARC. To me,

376
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: I think put themes on the map all of Kathy's

377
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: funds or theme ETFs. But the main fund isn't a theme, right,

378
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: It kind of is disruptive innovation. We consider innovation a theme,

379
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: and Kathy kind of kicked off a whole category because

380
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: Kathy goes across sectors to just find innovative and disruptive companies.

381
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: So in a way, that's how we define themes. And

382
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: so it's interesting because I was I was thinking first

383
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: about factors, right, because that became huge, especially in the

384
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: hedge fund world five six, seven years ago. Right, And

385
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: Paul mentioned sectors. Now those are two different things, right.

386
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: A factor and a sector are different ways of categorizing

387
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: investment opportunities. I guess companies or what have you? Um,

388
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: themes can be kind of either one. Yeah, no, you're

389
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: what you're hitting on is so important and interesting and

390
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: what everybody in asset management should understand. Themes are going

391
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: to steal your thunder. They steal from the sectors, which

392
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: are sort of born in this legacy. There's only eleven

393
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: of them, and they're sort of stale, and they steal

394
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: from factors because growth momentum value. Some of these to

395
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: a normal person or an advisor with younger clients, they

396
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: just don't resonate. Whereas some of these themes have a

397
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: narrative attached to them. You can identify them. They get

398
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: your imagination going. And a lot of them also will

399
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: hold stocks that aren't in the broad indexes, so they

400
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: compliment nicely. So I agree with you, Matt, you're kind

401
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: of stealing the thunder from both the factor world and

402
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: the sector world. By the way, Um, Paul, did you

403
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: know that Eric and I have a television show every

404
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: Monday at one pm? Do you really? Yes? So that

405
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: today's Monday and today's Monday, we're almost there focused on

406
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: E T F s and what have we got on

407
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: the program today? Today? We have Dimensional, which is a

408
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: major factor issue where I'm gonna actually hopefully ask dimensional

409
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: what do you think about themes coming in and trying

410
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: to steal some of your business? You know what, I'll

411
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: make sure And then the drill down. We drill down

412
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: into one ticker every week is net Z and this

413
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: is the climate Transition stocks. So these are stocks like

414
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: auto companies and chemical companies and even oil companies that

415
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: uh engine number one fields are driving the transition. But

416
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: it's a thirty stocks and again it's a thematic sort

417
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: of E s G climate play E T F UM

418
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: And that's what we're gonna drill down. So themes will

419
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: be part of the show. They're part of most shows actually, UM,

420
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to it. What are we seeing

421
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: in terms of flows because we've had but I think

422
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: five weeks of losses on the sm P, right, that's

423
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: the worst in over a decade in terms of losing streaks. Um.

424
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: We've even seen a big losing streak for bitcoin. I

425
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: think six weeks in a row of losses on bitcoin,

426
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: the worst since like two thousand fourteen, which was back

427
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: when no one cared about it except for me. Um,

428
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: What are we seeing in terms of flows when I

429
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: pull up E T F go What am I looking at?

430
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: By the way, I remember I was on a segment

431
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: one time with you on bitcoin. Still kick myself for

432
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: not just buying a little I'm like, what was I thinking? You?

433
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: And anyway, So look, generally speaking, the flows are still

434
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: buying H y G, the cues, they are getting bids,

435
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: they've taken in money, the triple leverage cues. I think

436
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: that by the dip crowd is still looking for opportunities.

437
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 1: That said, if you look across the flows in general,

438
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: what you tend to find is like investors are in

439
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: a dark room searching for a door out, because there's

440
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: not really a rhyme or reason. You'll see gold within

441
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: flows one week out the next, and then financials in

442
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: flows out. So I can tell people just are a

443
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: little lost. Whereas most year there's a general sort of slow,

444
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: hurd ish move towards one or two things, this year

445
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: is just all over the place, like someone trying to

446
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: find something. Eric good stuff. As always, Eric Baltunas making
